It's been a bit quiet on the blogging front these past few days because I've been busy planning a wedding! My boyfriend, Seth, proposed last Thursday, April 5th after 6 1/2 years of togetherness. Coincidentally, he proposed to me last year on April 5th, too, but we had to call off the engagement to do some soul searching for a while. This time it's for real – we're committed, and we're both looking forward to spending forever with each other :)
We're going to have a very small wedding ceremony in June up in the mountains outside of Colorado Springs. Very sadly, Seth's great aunt Dottie passed away on the same day he proposed to me. We're going to honor her life and spirit by being married on her beautiful mountain property…
I'm not sure I'd be sharing all these details if I didn't want something in return from you guys (I'll let you know what it is in a minute). I'm realizing that I'm a pretty private person when it comes to love, and that's why we're only having about 10 people at the ceremony. After the ceremony, we'll be having dinner at a gorgeous Tudor style manor in Manitou Springs, Colorado.
Most people don't know this, but I'm a sucker for anything Tudor. My mom better watch out or I might get a replica of Queen Mary's wedding dress for the nuptials.
Anyway, what I need help with is dessert. Has anyone had a Paleo wedding? While it's tempting to just get a normal cake and let our family eat it while we abstain, I think that's preposterous. Our family will just have to suffer through a Paleo cake for our sake :)
If you've had a Paleo wedding, what did you do for your special sweet treat? If you have any stories to share or if – better yet – you have some recipes for me, I'd be eternally grateful if you'd either comment below or email me at email@example.com.
Hope to hear all about your Paleo weddings!

I don't have any recipes but I couldn't resist saying congratulations!! I'm so happy for you and judging from the location and your awesome Tudor taste, I think your day will be beautiful :)
This is embarrassing Neely but my invitation hasn't shown up yet. Do you think customs might have blocked it? ha ha! Great to hear. Haven't forgotten about the fact I said I would a follow up email 2 weeks ago…what is the statute on those anyhow? Perhaps we can do a podcast life from the alter?????
Congrats, Neely!
I'm planning a fully Paleo wedding reception this summer, and instead of cake we're doing French macaroons. They have some sugar, but no grains or dairy. The wedding is in Portland, so we're getting macaroons from Ken's Bakery (you may know them)…best macaroons of all time!
You could also do coconut macaroons, but the French almond ones are so pretty and with a layer of dark chocolate in the middle they'd be a very Paleo indulgence :)
My sister in law just made a paleo coconut cake which I really liked. Not sure if it could be made wedding sized…it's denser than regular cake. It was enjoyed by all the non-paleo family. Cream cheese and maple syrup frosting.
It would be easy to get a gluten-free and dairy-free cake from a bakery. You have Coquette's Bistro and Bakery in Manitou Springs. And closer is Amuse Gourmet in Colorado Springs, though this last one is not a dedicated gluten-free bakery, so a celiac may be concerned with contamination. If you wanted to bring a cake with you from Boulder, you have Rudi's Gluten-Free Bakery.
While not paleo, it could be a compromise.
I've made these Coconut Bars into muffins, cupcakes, mini-cupcakes and even a full size cake…it tastes just like wedding cake to me…it's worth a test anyway… :o) I'm sure it would taste great with some sort of frosting as well but I like it plain. I've made it exactly from the recipe (yum, but very sweet) and have even made it without the honey and substituted dates which was awesome and a lot less sweet. For a special occasion like your wedding I'd go full on sweet with the honey…
BTW…congratulations! I live in Colorado Springs…Manitou is SO awesome!!!
Congratulations. One of the paleo cookbooks i have, Make it paleo, has a beautiful coconut cake that would make a very nice wedding cake.
June sounds like fresh strawberries to me. Maybe some kind of coconut flour shortcake (I think even the coconut bread recipe could work) and you could do whipped coconut cream and have regular for people who want it? Pavlovas are amazing but do have sugar.
More importantly, I think that apracticalwedding.com would be right up your alley. It's one of the best, most sane wedding/marriage sites out there. I still read it nearly a year after my wedding. Just check it out. I think you'll really appreciate what you find.
Congrats Neely!!! I had a friend who did Paleo cupcakes in all kind of flavors and had them tiered on a four tier stand to resemble the look of a wedding cake and they were delicious. They were vegan and gluten free and I couldn't beleive how good and moist they were. I always thik itseasier to make a paleo cupcake moist than it is a whole cake. Good luck and enjoy your forever mate!
Congrats!! What an exciting time in your life.
I found these recipes to consider: http://primaleats.wordpress.com/category/dessert/
Hey Neely — congrats! Have you ever tried Lenka's desserts? THEY ARE TO DIE FOR…They are "raw," and I believe they are "paleo," but either way they are DIVINE, and semi-healthy! Some contain raw cacao, and most are sweetened with raw honey, but i don't think they have anything truly bad in them. You can sample them at the Tonic Bar on 10th and Pearl. Our fave is the chocolate salt torte. Lenka makes cakes to order — THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, delicious, and made with lots and lots of love…Here is the link to her page…She is talented.
I once went to a wedding that had nothing but 30 different kinds of pie at the reception because the groom was obsessed with Marie Callender's. That being said, you could do some tasty Lara bar "style pie" fillings with an almond crust and coconut cream whipped topping. If pie is not your gig, maybe just throw some icing on a brisket and call it done. Also, congrats on the upcoming nuptials…we're SUPER excited for you both!
I thought of one more thing. Can't believe I forgot. If you like watermelon, the last few years for my birthday I've made a tiered watermelon 'cake'. Mine has really been just about 1″ thick tiers but if you took three watermelons, you could probably make some pretty thick tiers. That would give you something that would work for a formal cake cutting if you were hoping for that.
Elana's Almond Flour Cookbook has a great chocolate cake recipe (I use coconut oil and honey instead of her recommended grapeseed oil and agave). :-) With a small wedding, it should be simple to come up with a single tier or two or even cupcakes! Yum.
Congratulations! We are planning a smallish (50) wedding for my sister in September. . . she's not committed to Paleo yet, so the menu (and the cake) will only be GF. It's fun to introduce people to delicious, healthier foods!
Oh. . . just saw your comment about no nuts. . . Elana's other book (Gluten Free Cupcakes) has lots of coconut flour cupcake recipes (which we've made into cake as well).

When Life Hurts: Understanding God's Place in Your Pain
When Life Hurts: Understanding God's Place in Your Pain
Product Description
Pain calls our most basic beliefs about God into question. Philip Yancey's When Life Hurts addresses five major questions brought on by pain: Is God competent? Is He really so powerful? Is He fair? Why doesn't He seem to care about pain? And where is God when I need Him most? Yancey provides thought-provoking answers to questions faced by believers in their darkest moments and reveals that even in suffering and pain -- and sometimes because of them -- God's competence, power, wisdom, and love still shine through.

This is one of the most accessible of Nietzsche's works. It was published in 1887, a year after Beyond Good and Evil, and he intended it to be a continuation of the investigation into the theme of morality. In the first work, Nietzsche attacked the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalized weakness, and he criticized past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. In On the Genealogy of Morals, subtitled "A Polemic", Nietzsche furthers his pursuit of a clarity that is less tainted by imposed prejudices. He looks at the way attitudes towards 'morality' evolved and the way congenital ideas of morality were heavily colored by the Judaic and Christian traditions.

"Be strong, not weak."
On as many levels as possible, this towering philosopher for the ages, tormented soul and liberated intellectual, has set the bar bar for courage and value, leaving most United States Marines in the dust.
He established the spiritual, intellectual and physical norm for "weakness leaving the body."
If you look at his intensity as a war for the individual against false authority (master) and against false submissiveness (slave) you can then understand how his battle is to establish true value in life, as opposed to false submissiveness or brute authoritarianism. Enjoy.
"Good narration."
There are many narrations of Nietzsche, some of which are terrible. This guy definitely is much, much better.
"Great book, well read"
It's a great book and the reader makes it easy to follow, emphasising appropriate words and phrases.
"An Essential Precursor to Evolutionary Psychology"
I would recommend this work to my more free-thinking friends and to those who want to challenge themselves intellectually. Nietzsche's words are bolts of lightning which wake us from our sleep.
My favorite character was "the ascetic man" because I had never seen through his disguise so clearly until I listened to this work. I also realized how much I have been seduced by his perspective throughout my life.
Since this was a non-fiction work, I will put forth my favorite section rather than scene...I was most interested in the section on the nature of punishment. This section demonstrated how punishment originally arose as a way for the powerful to demonstrate this power.It also deals with the transformation of this phenomenon after the "slave revolt in morals." The "sick" man becomes "master" of himself and punishes himself by submitting to religion and filtering both his resentments and hopes through this narcotic denial of life.
Nietzsche provides much food for thought, but I was very much moved by his description of master/slave moralities and the creditor/debtor carryover into morality. Though I would tweak his critiques based on modern evolutionary psychology, he provides much provocative insight and gets behind the scenes of our moral realities.
Not for the faint-of-heart or easily offended...
"Ahead of his time!"
Guaranteed a true athiest even if he wouldn't have Thot so of himself in that era... If he were alive today he would be leading with the new atheists in searching for a peaceful world without faith! For sure ;)
His words ring true in my ears
"A bit dense for listening"
While the ideas presented are profound and interesting, Nietzsche as a listen is difficult to understand. This work to better suited as a read where it can be studied to glean the deeper message being delivered. That all said, the narration was superb and this served as a good gateway into Nietzsche's philosophy in a more accessible form.

2003 Rafael Cambra Minimum
Retail: $59.99
$47.99per bottle
Product Description:
"Totally different than the Dos but every bit as good is the 2003 Minimum, composed of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Franc. This beast of a wine was aged 16 months in new French oak and bottled unfiltered. Almost black in color, with coaxing, aromas of smoke, black currants, tar, licorice and vanilla bean reluctantly emerge. On the palate the wine is massive and mouth-filling yet harmonious with tannin, alcohol, fruit, and acidity in balance. This is a wine for younger readers because the 2003 Minimum will require extreme patience of at least another decade of bottle aging. The winery has no track record but I can imagine this behemoth drinking well for 30+ years. If it blossoms as I think it will, my score will look stingy indeed."

At Home With Richard Hell
The Wall Street Journal paid a house-call to rocker and poet, Richard Hell, at his apartment on the Lower East Side to find out what makes him feel cozy. He's lived at his current spot since 1975. As told to WSJ's Marc Myers, Hell explained:
I live with my wife, Sheelagh, in a two-bedroom tenement apartment in the East Village. The landlord doesn't maintain it very well, but to a certain extent I don't mind. I like things that are worn, decayed and going to pieces. I'm like a tenement apartment myself. I can't imagine living anywhere else. Also it's rent-stabilized.
I moved into the apartment in 1975—a couple of years after I started my first band. I was in three—Television, the Heartbreakers, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids. I wrote songs and sang and played bass. I conceived the bands as alternative worlds—from the songs and posters to the musicians' names and clothes and ragged haircuts. Those worlds were some of what ended up being called "punk."
Back then I met a clothing designer at CBGB who told me she was moving out of her apartment and that it was available. I jumped on it. For the first decade I lived here, it was hardly furnished. You can see how the bedroom looked on the cover of my 1982 album "Destiny Street." The designer had covered the living-room walls with corkboard for pinning up patterns and fabric, and that came in handy since I like rotating art and souvenirs and photos on the walls.
The apartment is in the back of the building on an upper floor, so it's quiet and full of light, with a great cross breeze. It has a funkiness that you don't find in Manhattan much anymore—worn unvarnished wood floors that groan when you walk on them, cracks in the plaster walls, sagging original moldings. The place only improves with degradation, as long as you don't try to tart it up.
When you walk through the front door, you're in a narrow kitchen with an ancient exposed claw-foot bathtub. Then comes our living room, where two of the walls are covered floor to ceiling with shelves packed with books. Books are everywhere. I've kind of hit my capacity there. My wife tries to persuade me to get rid of a book for every new one I buy—a practical policy, but it's not working for me.
I converted the small second bedroom into my office. Sheelagh's workspace is set up in the main bedroom. She works at the Morgan Library & Museum curating shows. She's always doing research. I like seclusion—being in my own environment, you know? Personal living spaces are often thought of as reflections of their occupants' brains. I'll accept that—though it would be fun to really design my own place from the ground up. I'd have a couch shaped like Kentucky.
I wrote most of my songs in this apartment. Not "Blank Generation" or "Love Comes in Spurts" though—they were written before I moved in. I just streamlined them here. But I pretty much wrote everything else in these rooms—songs like "Time" and "The Kid with the Replaceable Head."

I'm looking for a WordPress theme that will be used to sell 'tickets' to training courses.
I've searched themeforest and I can only find themes that list one off events with Paypal integration. I'm after a theme that allows me to create 1 course/event and once inside you see the dates / venues and can purchase directly from there.
Any ideas in finding a theme like this would be greatly appreciated.
I can customize the paypal feature with any event theme. i also did cusotmization in 1 event theme contact me directly from my profile page.
any luck Pixel Donkey?
I can't go down the bespoke route as that will be too expensive.
Right now I'm thinking Wootickets or using Wordpress + Wufoo forms, Wootickets might be easier.
Hello, you might want to have a look at my latest Wp theme
Very interesting, you need to finish the demo site so the links work
Can you setup a limited amount of tickets, recurring events, free tickets?
Is it possible to rename Cart – you wouldn't add free carts to a cart, maybe a wallet? (or am I complicating things?)

I also just found the Ruger LC9. Any thoughts on that one?
I've been researching pistols to use when I get my CHL. I came across the BSR9C. It seems to have everything I am looking for, ambidextrous, a manual safety, and small. All of those are critical for me since I am a lefty, I am not going to buy a pistol without a manual safety, and I am a small guy with small womany hands. Does any one have an opinion on this pistol? I haven't had any luck finding any reviews on it. That's making me kinda wonder about its reliability and accuracy.
If this isn't a good buy, then what do you guys recommend that fits what I want?
-"Keep your boogerhook off the bangswitch until you're ready to shoot!"
I also just found the Ruger LC9. Any thoughts on that one?
I own both! I LOVE them both.
I would recommend the SR9c first off. Mostly for the fact it can hold 10+1 of 17+1 (regular / fullsize magizines).
It is not a big gun and for smaller hands fits well!
Ruger has been making some great guns!
Go try a SR9c out, you'll be happy
OP here. So reliability has been good with the SR9C?
I would have to agree with your statement about Ruger firearms. I own several and they have far surpassed me expectations. especially the bear single 6 .22/.22 mag. i can consistently keep 60 yd shots within 5 inches using the regular .22 long rifle. most full length barreled .22 struggle at that same distance.
I can recommend the SR9c -- mine has been very accurate and reliable. Great gun and reasonably priced.
I had an LC9, and it just did not fit my hand as well, and for me the SR9c trigger is much better.
Each of my 2 sons own an SR9 and I have one in my collection as well. My shooting buddy that shoots USPSA with me carries an SR9c and absolutley loves it. He has a Kydex / leather IWB holster that hides and carries it very nicely. He is a shooter with many weapons and the means to have almost any gun he wants. For him to carry that gun is a pretty good endorsement in my opinion. He like to carry 9mm. The platform is sound and the gun is a good one. I have shot his 9c I like it too.
All I have to say is that I LOVE LOVE LOVE my SR9c. ZERO complaints, ZERO issues. Go for it!
Do not hesitate, get an SR9c.... I own one in all black and it is one sweet gun. Accurate, dependable, just a very nice shooter. I have no problem trusting my life to this gun. You will not be sorry you bought it, it has a really nice trigger.
The SR9c is one of my favorites.
The SR9c is a fantatic firearm. I have one and up until very reciently carried it every day, love that gun! So what other gun found it's way into my carry lineup..........The SR40c LOVE them both! Truly an excellent design! So now I rotate between the two in my line up. Mostly I carry the two SR's but there are others in my line up too
and my LCP is always with me no matter what, never leave home without it!
I just went to the gun shop and purchased an SR9c. I have yet not been able to take the pistol from the store. I always get the usual delay. Common name and I have not taken the time to get a unique identifier number. In any case, I was extremely impressed with the build quality of this pistol. More so that the Sig P250 I wanted to purchase. This little Ruger just felt like it was made much better than the Sig. I can hardly wait to get the call to pick up my new gun and go out shooting with it.
You won't go wrong with either. I liked both but didn't want to choose just one, so I bought the both.
The SR9c IWB is easily concealed and gives you plenty of rounds. The 10 round clip with the pinky extension gives just enough room to hold on comfortably. I have average size hands and it's nice and comfortable to hold. The same can be said for the LC9. Recoil is easy to handle on either.
The main advantage of the SR9c over the LC9 is the trigger. The DAO trigger on the LC9 takes more getting used to than the Glock style trigger on the SR9c.
I did have a couple light strikes my first range trip with the SR9c but it was within the first 50 rounds and before a proper cleaning after buying it new.
I really like my SR9C. It's a great gun!

...New guy here. Just getting introduced to handgun safety. I'm 61 years old, been pastoring Baptist Churches for over 30 years. My oldest son and I both have been getting in to target shooting. He's much better than I (young eyes, and steadier hands). Anyway, just wanted to come on to this board to read discussions and ask questions. If any of my question sound a little stupid, please forgive my ignorance, I am just learning how to shoot, and practice defensive handgun safety.
...Presently...I'm shooting...

Next in line from Highland looks like it could be junior defensive end\tight end Aisa Kelemete, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound versatile weapon who is set to explode onto the recruiting scene.
"It's a blessing, really," he said. "My mom taught at Highland for 22 years so I grew up there. My whole life I wanted to be a Ram and be one of the guys out there playing in the dome under the lights.
"There is some pressure (at Highland), but it's good pressure. It's motivation to follow in the footsteps of the people who have been here and gone on to play in college."
Kelemete was in Boise over the weekend for Boise State's junior day activities. He liked what he saw.
"It was good. It was nice," he said. "Meeting all the coaches and being on campus was incredible. I played in the state championship in 2014 on that field, but I had not seen it like I did on Saturday."
Kelemete visited The Blue with his cousin, Highland linebacker Aren Manu, who Boise State is also targeting. It is very early in the recruiting process, and Kelemete hopes a strong summer and senior season this fall will lead to increased interest.
"Arizona Western has offered, I may take a visit to Arizona and Utah has been talking to me as well," he said. "I am going to the All-Poly camp in Utah this summer and am looking forward to showing out there."
But still fresh in Kelemete's mind are the Broncos.
"I like how the football players and everyone is a family," he said of Boise State. "They said when a freshman gets an interception, the whole team cheers instead of the seniors being jealous or something like that. Everyone wants everyone else to succeed."

On Monday's Countdown show, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann pushed the theory that the recent announcement of a terror plot involving JFK Airport was politically timed to benefit the Bush administration, as the Countdown host revisited and added to a recurring segment titled "The Nexus of Politics and Terror." Olbermann also suggested a connection to Fox News via the participation in a news conference of NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly, the father of FNC correspondent Greg Kelly, and further theorized that President Bush was trying to provoke a "new Cold War" with Russia to distract attention from the current war in Iraq.
Olbermann teased the show by mocking a soundbite of U.S. attorney Roslynn Mauskopf, who referred to the danger of "unthinkable devastation" at JFK Airport if the plot were successful. The Countdown host quipped: "Yeah, well, so would me blowing up the moon with Mentos and a liter of Coca Cola." As he opened the show, Olbermann suggested that Bush was pushing missile defense to provoke "a new Cold War" with Russia. Olbermann: "Mr. Bush, meanwhile, arriving in Europe tonight for this weekend's G-8 Summit, and possibly fomenting yet another war in the process, a new Cold War with Russia, possibly to obscure the unending nightmare in Iraq, where, if the present rate continues, 140 American service personnel will have died by the first of July." (Transcript follows)
During one of his plugs for the segment, Olbermann brought Fox News into his conspiracy. Olbermann: ""The 'Nexus of Politics and Terror': Why was the JFK Airport plot revealed by a U.S. attorney in the middle of a U.S. attorneys scandal and by the father of a Fox News reporter? And why, on this Saturday, the coincidences have begun again. We will review that."
Olbermann soon replayed a list of what he referred to as "dubious coincidences," most of which already aired on his show in October 2005, as the Countdown host added recent events to the list for a total of 13 times Olbermann saw suspicious coincidences between terrorism-related news and political events. The Countdown host added the recent announcements of the plan to attack U.S. troops at Fort Dix and the plot to attack JFK Airport to the list. Olbermann connected the timing of the announcement of the JFK Airport plot to the timing of the recent Democratic presidential debate, and again brought up Commissioner Kelly's connection to Fox News. Olbermann: "The so-called plot happens to be revealed the day before the second Democratic presidential debate and, as the scandal continues to unfold over the firings of U.S. attorneys and their replacements by political hacks. The so-called plot is announced by the Bush-appointed U.S. attorney for Brooklyn, New York, and by the police chief of New York City, the father of a correspondent for Fox News Channel."
Below is a transcript of relevants portions of the Monday June 4 Countdown show on MSNBC:
KEITH OLBERMANN, DURING OPENING TEASER: The abstract, hypothetical terror plot at JFK: It sounds ominous until you ask the experts. Blow up part of the jet fuel pipeline and you still stand zero chance of blowing up the airport.
ROSLYNN MAUSKOPF, US ATTORNEY: The devastation that would be caused had this plot succeeded is just unthinkable.
OLBERMANN: Yeah, well, so would me blowing up the moon with Mentos and a liter of Coca Cola. We will truth squad the plot and update the "Nexus of Politics and Terror," the now 13 times officials in this country have revealed so-called terror plots at times that were just coincidentally to their political benefit, no matter how preposterous the actual schemes might have been, including the plot against Fort Dix where pizza delivery men were supposed to kill at will at an Army base full of soldiers with guns. All summed up neatly by a Republican state party chairman who has just said, quote, "All we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on 9/11, and the naysayers will come around very quickly for President Bush."
OLBERMANN: Good evening from New York. That Iraq has eclipsed the current presidency, that it will dominate the race for the next one, we all already knew, and we knew it all too well. How much, though, we might not have guessed. Last month was the deadliest month for Americans there in more than two and a half years. June has already seen the daily average escalate. Our fifth story on the Countdown, the U.S. military announcing that 14 Americans have already been killed there in the first three days of June, four of them in a single roadside bombing. And the Democrats had to debate it. Mr. Bush, meanwhile, arriving in Europe tonight for this weekend's G-8 Summit, and possibly fomenting yet another war in the process, a new Cold War with Russia, possibly to obscure the unending nightmare in Iraq, where, if the present rate continues, 140 American service personnel will have died by the first of July.
OLBERMANN, BEFORE COMMERCIAL BREAK AT 8:12 PM: Law enforcement calls it, quote, 'one of the most chilling plots imaginable.' But even if the suspects had the support, the money, and the wherewithall they needed, is it even possible to ignite JFK Airport by igniting the jet fuel pipeline that leads to it?
OLBERMANN: And the President has renewed his attempts to link our security here with the war in Iraq. Are the arrests in this case and the equally impractical Fort Dix plan politically timed or just politically coincidental? We will revisit the "Nexus of Politics and Terror." You're watching Countdown on MSNBC.
OLBERMANN, BEFORE COMMERCIAL BREAK AT 8:20 PM: Details of another plot more pipe dream than pipe line, emerging just as the White House redoubles efforts to equate the war in Iraq with our security at home. We will update our look at the history of these kinds of dubious coincidences in a revised edition of the "Nexus of Politics and Terror."
OLBERMANN, BEFORE COMMERCIAL BREAK AT 8:26 PM: The "Nexus of Politics and Terror": Why was the JFK Airport plot revealed by a U.S. attorney in the middle of a U.S. attorneys scandal and by the father of a Fox News reporter? And why, on this Saturday, the coincidences have begun again. We will review that.
OLBERMANN, AT 8:29 PM: Since last August, there had been a period of calm, the screaming, hair-on-fire pronouncements about terror plots, that may have had real plotters but no real conceivable chance of actually happening, had ceased. That period spanned between the 2006 midterm elections and the week we reached exactly 18 months until the 2008 presidential election -- just a coincidence. Our third story in the Countdown, from the mindbending idea that four guys dressed as pizza delivery men were going to outgun all the soldiers at Fort Dix, to the not-too-thought-out plan to blow up JFK Airport by lighting a match 40 miles away, here we go again. Time for an update of our segment, the "Nexus of Politics and Terror," instances now 13 in number when those two worlds have overlapped and we are reminded by our government, with or without justification, that we should always fear "fear itself." We offer two prefaces tonight. One, the words of Dennis Milligan, the new state chairman of the Republican Party in Arkansas, who says about Iraq to the newspaper the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, quote, "At the end of the day, I believe fully the President is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [September 11, 2001], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country."
OLBERMANN: "All we need is some attacks on American soil," said the Republican Party chairman in Arkansas, Arkansas, in the United States, that Arkansas. The other preamble, we remind you again that coincidences can happen, that the logical fallacy insists that just because event A occurs and then event B occurs, that does not automatically mean that event A caused event B. But neither does it say the opposite. The "Nexus of Politics and Terror" updated through today. Please judge for yourself.
OLBERMANN: Number one. May 18, 2002. The first details of the President's daily briefing of August 6, 2001, are revealed, including its title: "Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S." The same day another memo is discovered revealing the FBI knew of men with links to al-Qaeda training at an Arizona flight school. The memo was never acted upon. Questions about 9/11 intelligence failures are swirling. May 20, 2002.
TOM BROKAW, NBC NIGHTLY NEWS ANCHOR: The terror warnings from the highest levels of the federal government tonight are just-
OLBERMANN: Two days later, FBI director Mueller declares that another terrorist attack is "inevitable."
BROKAW: Tonight, there are even more warnings of possible terrorist attacks in America-
OLBERMANN: The next day, the Department of Homeland Security issues warnings of attacks against railroads nationwide, and against New York City landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. Number two. Thursday, June 6, 2002.
COLEEN ROWLEY, FBI AGENT: I never really anticipated this kind of impact.
OLBERMANN: Coleen Rowley, the FBI agent who tried to alert her superiors to the specialized flight training taken by Zacarias Moussaoui, whose information suggests the government missed a chance to break up the 9/11 plot, testifies before Congress. Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Graham says Rowley's testimony has inspired similar pre-9/11 whistle-blowers. Monday, June 10, 2002. Four days later:
JOHN ASHCROFT, FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL: We have disrupted an unfolding terrorist plot-
OLBERMANN: Speaking from Russia, Attorney General John Ashcroft reveals that an American named Jose Padilla is under arrest, accused of plotting a radiation bomb attack in this country. In fact, Padilla had, by this time, already been detained for more than one month. Number three. February 5, 2003. Secretary of State Powell tells the United Nations Security Council of Iraq's concealment of weapons, including 18 mobile biological weapons laboratories, justifying a U.N. or U.S. first strike. Many in the U.N. are doubtful. Months later, much of the information proves untrue. February 7, 2003. Two days later, as anti-war demonstrations continue to take place around the globe:
TOM RIDGE, FORMER HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY: Take some time to prepare for an emergency.
OLBERMANN: Homeland Security Secretary Ridge cites credible threats by al-Qaeda and raises the terror alert level to orange. Three days after that, Fire Administrator David Paulison, who would become the acting head of FEMA after the Hurricane Katrina disaster, advises Americans to stock up on plastic sheeting and duct tape to protect themselves against radiological or biological attack. Number four. July 23, 2003. The White House admits that the CIA, months before the President's State of the Union Address, expressed strong doubts about the claim that Iraq had attempted to buy uranium from Niger. On the 24th, the Congressional report on the 9/11 attacks is issued. It criticizes government at all levels. It reveals an FBI informant had been living with two of the future hijackers. It concludes that Iraq had no link to al-Qaeda. Twenty-eight pages of the report are redacted. On the 26th, American troops are accused of beating Iraqi prisoners. July 29, 2003. Three days later, amid all of the negative headlines:
BROKAW: Word of a possible new al-Qaeda attack.
OLBERMANN: Homeland Security issues warnings of further terrorist attempts to use airplanes for suicide attacks. Number five. December 17, 2003. 9/11 Commission co-chair Thomas Keane says the attacks were preventable. The next day, a federal appeals court says the government cannot detain suspected radiation bomber Jose Padilla indefinitely without charges. And the chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq, Dr. David Kay, who has previously announced he has found no weapons of mass destruction there, announces he will resign his post. December 21, 2003. Four days later, the Sunday before Christmas:
RIDGE: Today the United States government raised the national threat level.
OLBERMANN: Homeland Security again raises the threat level to orange, claiming credible intelligence of further plots to crash airliners into U.S. cities. Subsequently, six international flights into this country are canceled after some passenger names purportedly produce matches on government no-fly lists. The French later identify those matched names. One belongs to an insurance salesman from Wales, another to an elderly Chinese woman, a third to a five-year-old boy. Number six. March 30, 2004. The new chief weapons inspector in Iraq, Charles Duelfer, tells Congress, 'We have still not found any WMD in that country.' And after weeks of having refused to appear before the 9/11 Commission, Condoleezza Rice relents and agrees to testify. On the 31st, four Blackwater USA contractors working in Iraq are murdered. Their mutilated bodies dragged through the streets and left on public display in Fallujah. The role of civilian contractors in Iraq is now widely questioned. April 2, 2004:
BRIAN WILLIAMS, NBC NIGHTLY NEWS ANCHOR: The FBI has issued a new warning tonight.
OLBERMANN: Homeland Security issues a bulletin warning that terrorists may try to blow up buses and trains using fertilizer and fuel bombs like the one detonated in Oklahoma City, bombs stuffed into satchels or duffle bags. Number seven. May 16, 2004. Secretary of State Powell appears on Meet the Press. Moderator Tim Russert closes by asking him about the enormous personal credibility Powell had placed before the U.N. in laying out a case against Saddam Hussein. An aide to Powell interrupts the question, saying the interview is over.
TIM RUSSERT, MEET THE PRESS HOST: I think that was one of your staff, Mr. Secretary. I don't think that's appropriate.
COLIN POWELL: Get, Emily, get out of the way.
OLBERMANN: Powell finishes his answer, admitting that much of the information he had been given about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was-
POWELL: -inaccurate and wrong and, in some cases, deliberately misleading.
OLBERMANN: On the 21st, new photos showing mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison are released. On the 24th, Associated Press video from Iraq confirms U.S. forces mistakenly bombed a wedding party. killing more than 40. Wednesday, May 26, 2004. Two days later.
ASHCROFT: Good afternoon.
OLBERMANN: Attorney General Ashcroft and FBI director Mueller warned that intelligence from multiple sources-
ASHCROFT: -indicates al-Qaeda's specific intention to hit the United States hard.
OLBERMANN: -and that 90 percent of the arrangements for an attack on the United States were complete. The color-coded warning system is not raised. The Homeland Security secretary, Tom Ridge, does not attend the announcement. Number eight. July 6, 2004. Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry selects Senator John Edwards as his vice presidential running mate, producing a small bump in the election opinion polls and producing a huge swing in media attention towards the Democratic campaign. July 8, 2004. Two days later.
RIDGE: Credible reporting now indicates that al-Qaeda is moving forward with its plans to carry out a large-scale attack in the United States.
OLBERMANN: Homeland Secretary Ridge warns of information about al-Qaeda attacks during the summer or autumn. Four days after that, the head of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, Deforest B. Soaries Jr., confirms he has written to Ridge about the prospect of postponing the upcoming presidential election in the event it is interrupted by terrorist acts. Number nine. July 29, 2004. At their party convention in Boston, the Democrats formally nominate John Kerry as their candidate for President. As in the wake of any convention, the Democrats now dominate the media attention over the subsequent weekend. August 1, 2004, Monday morning. Three days later.
RIDGE: It is as reliable a source, group of sources that we've ever seen before.
OLBERMANN: The Department of Homeland Security raises the alert status for financial centers in New York, New Jersey, and Washington to orange. The evidence supporting the warning, reconnaissance data left in a home in Iraq, later proves to be roughly four years old and largely out of date. Number 10. October 6, 2005, the President addresses the National Endowment for Democracy, once again emphasizing the importance of the war on terror, and insisting his government has broken up at least 10 terrorist plots since 9/11. At 3 p.m. Eastern time, five hours after the President's speech has begun, the Associated Press reports that Karl Rove will testify again to the CIA leak grand jury, and that special prosecutor Fitzgerald has told Rove he cannot guarantee that he will not be indicted.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: We're awaiting a news conference at the bottom of the hour. New York City Police-
OLBERMANN: At 5:17 p.m. Eastern time, seven hours after the President's speech has begun, New York officials disclose a bomb threat to the city's subway system based on information supplied by the federal government. A Homeland Security spokesman says the intelligence upon which the disclosure is based is of doubtful credibility. And it later proves that New York City had known of the threat for at least three days and had increased police presence in the subways long before making the announcement at that particular time. Local New York television station WNBC reports it had the story of the threats days in advance of the announcement but was asked by high-ranking federal officials in New York and Washington to hold off on its story. Less than four days after having revealed the threat, Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York says, "Since the period of the threat now seems to be passing, I think over the immediate future we'll slowly be winding down the enhanced security." While news organizations ranging from the New York Post to NBC News quotes sources who say there was reason to believe the informant who triggered the warning simply made it up, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official tells the New York Times, quote, "there was no there there."
OLBERMANN: Number 11, a sequence of events in August 2006 best understood now in chronological order. As the month begins, the controversy over domestic surveillance without legal warrants in this country crashes. Then, on August 9th, the day after the Connecticut Democratic Senatorial primary, Vice President Cheney says the victory of challenger Ned LaMont over incumbent Joe Lieberman is a positive for the, quote, "al-Qaeda types," who he says, quote, "clearly are betting on the proposition that utlimately they break the will of the American pople in terms of our ability to stay in the fight." The next day, British authorities arrest 24 suspects in an alleged imminent plot to blow up U.S.-bound aircraft using liquid explosives smuggled on board in sports drink bottles. Domestic air travel is thrown into chaos as carry-on liquids are suddenly banned. On August 14th, British intelligence reveals it did not think the plot was imminent, only the U.S. did, and our authorities pressed to make the arrests. Eleven of the 24 suspects are later released. And in the months to come, the carry-on liquids ban is repeatedly relaxed. Number 12. May 7, 2007. Greensburg, Kansas, leveled by a tornado, and the state's governor notes more in sorrow than in anger that the redeployment of so much of the Kansas National Guard and its equipment to Iraq might now cripple the soldiers' ability to respond if another disaster hits Kansas.
GOVERNOR KATHLEEN SEBELIUS (D-KS): What we're really missing is equipment, and that is putting a strain on recoveries like this one.
OLBERMANN: The next day, the authorities announce arrests in a far-fetched plan to attack soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey. The so-called terrorists plan to gain access to the base by posing as pizza delivery men. It is not a suicide mission. They state clearly they intend to kill personnel and then retreat to safety, even though they were going to attack a closed compound full of trained soldiers with weapons. And though the plan is branded sophisticated, its perpetrators are not sophisticated enough to have not handed over the videotape of themselves training with weapons to a Circuit City store in order to be transferred to DVD. The Fort Dix plot not only erases from most news coverage the issue of disaster readiness in Kansas, but it also obscures the next day's story that, in anticipation of his testimony to a House panel, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has submitted opening remarks that match virtually word for word the remarks he had given the previous month to a Senate committee.
ALBERTO GONZALES, ATTORNEY GENERAL: Recognizing my limited involvement in the process, a mistake that I freely acknowledge, I have soberly questioned my prior decisions.
OLBERMANN: And number 13. June 2007. The JFK plot to blow up the jet fuel pipeline feeding John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, thus causing the entire airport to be consumed in a horrific conflagration. One of the men arrested has, as a past employee, access to the sprawling complex, but little knowledge of the reality of the pipeline system. The manager of that system tells the New York Times that the pipeline is not some kind of fuse. Shut off valves throughout would have easily contained any damage, just as a leak in a tunnel in any city would not flood everything in that city below ground. The so-called plot happens to be revealed the day before the second Democratic presidential debate and, as the scandal continues to unfold over the firings of U.S. attorneys and their replacements by political hacks. The so-called plot is announced by the Bush-appointed U.S. attorney for Brooklyn, New York, and by the police chief of New York City, the father of a correspondent for Fox News Channel.
OLBERMANN: In all fairness, we could probably contruct a similar timeline of terror events and their relationship to the haircuts of popular politicians, but if merely a reasonable case can be made that any of these juxtapositions of events are more than just coincidences, if that case can be made on this, the very day that a military judge at Guantanamo day, dismissed all terror charges that have kept Salim Hamdan jailed there for five years, it underscores the need for questions to be asked, and asked continually in this country, questions about what is prudence and what is just fearmongering.

GMAC to stop subsidized auto leasing in Canada
BANGALORE (Reuters) - Finance company GMAC LLC said it had informed dealers it would suspend subsidized leasing of automobiles in Canada from August 1.
GMAC, which provides automotive, real estate, insurance and other financial services, has suffered mortgage-related losses. The company faces "funding challenges" for lease assets in Canada, spokeswoman Gina Proia said, according to a story published in the Wall Street Journal.
"GMAC did inform dealers that as of August 1 it would suspend incentivized leasing in Canada," Proia said in an e-mail to Reuters, confirming the report.
Proia said GMAC has not announced a similar move for the U.S. as of Monday, according to the Journal.
GMAC is 51 percent owned by private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP, which bought the interest from General Motors Corp in 2006. The automaker owns the rest.

AZ Talks Rock the Bells, Working With Nas and New Music
Speaking of magic, how's the process been so far regarding the producers and label situation?
We're still working on the producers and I'm not even worried about the home because I know once the album is done, I'm definitely getting a home. That's my last worry right there because that independent lane is always open to get a distributor. As far as if I want to get back on the major, that door's open as well. My whole focus is getting the album done and creating that spark and magic again, get everybody riled up and show my worthiness of being in the position I'm in. That's my whole focus now.
Will it have the same mafioso vibe as the first?
Nah, [because] that was for that time. This one is gonna be from a wiser, hustler's perspective. Just a hustler and making power moves and making money. That's what all the focus is on, Doe Or Die II.
Could Nas possibly be making an appearance?
Everything is possible. You got a lot of goodies like we're trying to bring a whole lot of things to the table. For that question, imma say guaranteed he'll be on that. For a song on Doe Or Die II, I could guarantee that.
There was a rumor a couple months ago about you and Statik Selektah doing an album together. Is that true?
Nah, but I definitely want Statik on [Doe Or Die II]. I love Statik's music; he got that hip-hop sound. When I'm coming under that umbrella of Premier, he got that sound and I definitely want him on the album.
How do you feel about what all these new artists are bringing to the table?
The new ones are the future so I appreciate it. Big up to Wale, I like what he doing and he loves the culture. We need the young cats to preserve the culture and keep it going. This is our voice for the streets, our voice for the youth. All the artists that's coming up doing their thing, man, just stay doing it, stay sharp, and just preserve this culture right here.
How do you feel about the current state of lyricism?
It's coming back and a couple cats is bringing it back. For the last couple of years it was about getting your hustle on and making moves, it wasn't really about the art of it. Which I can't be mad at because this is a business. But, it is a culture and this is what we do so, it's a good thing that a lot of cats are bringing lyrics back to the table. Everybody gotta get their sword sharp again so, I appreciate it.
A couple months ago Fabolous released his own version to "Mo Money, Mo Murder, Mo Homicide," alongside Vado and Lloyd Banks titled "Mo Brooklyn, Mo Harlem, Mo Southside." Did you hear it?
Yeah, it was nice.
How'd you feel about it?
They definitely was showing homage and I appreciate it. All three of them lyricists, being from New York City, I was like, "Yeah!" I was waiting to hear that. Like I said, they preserving the culture and that's what its all about. Big up to all three of them.
Whatever happened to that "Hey AZ" record you dropped for your 1998 sophomore album, Pieces of A Man?
When we was getting ready to put it out and shooting the video, that's when EMI closed. They were going through financial difficulties and had to shut down. So, that record was out there and it didn't really get the push that we wanted and it was right in the middle of us shooting the video so, we just threw that out there. In the process of EMI going through that, that's when Puff and 'em came out with the Mariah remix so, it was like you know what we not even gonna throw our energy into that. Let's keep it movin'. So, that's what happened.
Wow, things got real complicated.
[Yeah] that was like a crazy time in my career 'cause me just getting in the game and witnessing how the music business shift and shake, you know what I'm sayin', a lot of people fall and it kind of hurt a lot of people . But, the strong survive through them times. That's just like with life itself. When you move and certain things hit you from left field, it's how you maintain and get up from that and keep it moving shows the true quality of a person. So, it is what it is at the end of the day.
With Doe Or Die II dropping soon, are you going to release any singles to hold the fans down?
I'm just moving accordingly, man. I have nothing planned but, if push come to shove I should be dropping something just before the year is out to let them know its coming. The calm before the storm.
Besides the album, anything else we can expect within the next couple of months?
Well, right now its just working with my boy [Nas], working with my joint, and I got a few artists waiting for me to kick the door in and then we're gonna bring everything to life.
It's still Quiet Money Records right?
Quiet Money for life. I aint going nowhere with it. I started it and imma end it, Quiet Money!

You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

Today we can collect lots and lots of performance data. We build beautiful dashboards and even have fancy query languages to access and transform the data. Still performance data is a secret language only a couple of people understand. The more business becomes digital the more stakeholders are interested in this data including how it relates to business. Some of these people have never used a monitoring tool before. They have a question on their mind like "How is my application doing" but no id...

Opera software has released Opera 10.52 for Mac OS X. The latest version of Opera's flagship browser brings some speed boosts, more HTML5 support and much tighter integration with the Mac platform.
Mac users can grab the latest release from the Opera website.
While the Opera web browser may not have the largest market share, it is the source off many browser innovations. Tabbed browsing got its start in Opera, and the browser was one of the first to broadly support emerging standards like HTML5 and CSS 3.
The new Mac version features a revamped interface that makes Opera look and feel almost like something Apple would have created. In fact, aside from Apple's Safari, Opera 10.52 is the most Mac-like of the web browsers available on OS X.
The changes — which include using the Cocoa and Core Text frameworks — also offer some performance improvements. Opera 10.5 was already one of the fastest browsers available and the new update continues to best both Firefox 3.6 and Google Chrome in our informal page load tests.
This update is also notable for supporting the multi-touch trackpad gestures available in Apple's more recent laptops. In Opera 10.52 you can use gestures like pinch to zoom and three finger swipes to navigate back and forth in your browser history (both Safari and Firefox support the same gestures).
Opera 10.52 for Mac features a number of smaller enhancements that make day-to-day browsing a bit nicer. The URL bar's search capabilities have been improved and you can now search your bookmarks and history page as you type — much like the Firefox "awesome bar," and Opera's page dialogs and alerts are now considerably less intrusive.
While Opera 10.52 is relatively minor update, it's worth the upgrade for Mac fans — particularly those looking for a more "Mac-like" experience. To get Opera 10.52, head over to the Opera downloads page.

OK, I've recently replaced all four shocks with OME firm shocks and 929 springs in the rear. I will be doing Indy4x torsion bars in front soon.
The 929's gave me about 2 1/4 inch lift in the rear.
When my stock 275/70-16's wear down I'm going to replace them with one of the sizes above in my subject line.
A couple of questions....
1) Do the 265/75-16's create a noticeable loss in power? The Trooper is no powerhouse to start with and with the automatic I'm wondering if I'll be disappointed with a larger tire.
2) Does anyone have pics of 265/75-16' or 245/75-16's on a '98+ on STOCK wheels that you can post up?
I'd like to see if the 265's stick out much (don't want rockssand flying up on the flares and side of the truck all the time)
Any issues with the 265's hitting/rubbing (keep in mind I do have a slight lift now).

STEVE WOLFE'S SEEDS OF WELLNESS: Time for your checkup
Even though it has taken much longer than most of us would like, spring is finally here.
We've all been anxious to get outside, enjoy some sunshine, and take stock of winter's wrath on our house and yard.
This annual checkup of our properties is how we assess what needs to be done to either get us back to the status quo or to begin some much-needed and wanted improvements.
It's often ironic that we take so much pride in our yards and yet we rarely do the same evaluations or assessments of our own bodies and health.
A few years ago, we ran commercials that encouraged you to take care of yourself as well as you do the things around you — including your yard and house. But it's much easier to see the brown spot in the yard than it is to see a cholesterol level that's dangerously high or the fact that your poor sleeping habits could be affecting your heart.
We understand the importance of regular assessments and screenings, and that's why we even have basic health assessments on our website.
The HealthAware risk assessments can tell you if you need to seek further treatment for any number of abnormalities.
The assessments include: diabetes, heart, sleep, lung, vascular, spine, joint and weight.
Each topic contains seven to 10 questions, takes less than five minutes to complete, and answers are completely confidential.
You can also elect to have a health care professional contact you if you like. You can do as many of the assessments as you like, and as often as you like from the privacy of your own home — or even on your phone.
And speaking of phones, we also have started a new app that allows you to let us know that you're coming to UrgiCare.
It doesn't make your appointment, but it does alert our staff of your arrival and allows them to be better prepared.
The app is called iTriage, and it's available for free.
It also tells you directions and the average wait times for urgent care centers and ERs no matter where you are in the country.
Just imagine if our yards told us when they needed fertilizer or when they didn't. We trust our regular habits and weather patterns to tell us what to do. Our bodies are much more complex. They don't always have screaming warning signals, and oftentimes we don't listen to them anyway.
Take a few minutes this spring and do some annual maintenance and assessment of yourself.
You are worth it.
Steve Wolfe, the President and CEO of Indiana Regional Medical Center, writes the periodic Seeds of Wellness column in The Indiana Gazette. His columns appear Tuesdays on the Health Page in the paper and in the Community News on The Indiana Gazette Online.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
I assume that you are asking about tax withholding during the year and not end of year tax liability. What is taken out depends upon what is on your W4 and what the pay period is. Do you claim married or single on your W4 and how many exemptions? Also what state are you working in, and how often are you paid?

About Me
Thanks for viewing my port! [/b]
My last bio was very impersonal, so I guess I'll give this another try. My name is Faith Gonzales, and I was raised in Southern California. I grew up in a household with a beautiful Mother as a model, and a Barbazon Instructor as well (no pressure)! Through my childhood I was always performing, it ranged from Ballet to Beauty Pageants. Though my performing was extremely fun and entertaining, my mother quickly noticed that I won every Photogenic Award in each one of my pageants.
At the age of Fourteen, I was finally convinced by my mother (who else) that modeling was something that came easy to me. It was my first casting call in San Diego, California and it entailed reading a cheerio script. I thought it was more fun than I've had since my last pageant, but my mother looked like she was going to hurl the whole time. At every moment she kept this huge grin on her face like she had the winning prize. At the end of the day I got a call back from a popular Acting/Modeling school in Hollywood.
This was supposed to have been the most exciting time in any teenager's life. My mother was diagnosed after delivering me, that she had an Auto Immune Disease that would eventually end her life. So it was about 2 month's into my schooling that my mother became too ill to drive me to Hollywood every weekend. It devastated her, but I promised that if I quit now I'll return one day soon.
So I was 18 years old, when my mother passed away in March of 2001. Ok, you must have already guessed it was the worst day of my life. So here I am 4 years later, and wanting to finish where I left off. As you read above now we're off to Italy in November. This has been my dream, and I'm here to full fill it to the best I can.
"I am doing what I promised you Mom, and I'll make you proud, love you!"

Playing the role of the adoring spouse, Nicole Kidman served as some serious arm candy as her husband Keith Urban made his rounds at the 62nd Annual BMI Country Awards on Tuesday night (November 4).
The "Moulin Rouge" actress was lovely and leggy in a short mini split front dress featuring a floral pattern as she posed with her "Cop Car" crooning hubby.
It's never easy to lose a loved one and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have been in mourning since the death of Nic's father Antony Kidman earlier this month.
While the "Moulin Rouge" actress and the "Stupid Boy" crooner have been lying low as of late, they surfaced to share a statement via social media on Monday (September 29).
Last week Dr. Antony Kidman passed away in Singapore and this morning (September 15) Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban jetted into Sydney, Australia to meet with family and make funeral arrangements.
Men are notorious for coming up short in the romance department, but Keith Urban bucked the trend while performing in Melbourne, Australia on his 8th wedding anniversary.
While his wife Nicole Kidman watched from the crowd, the "Cop Car" crooner explained the story behind his 2006 hit "Once in a Lifetime."
Ready to give a round of singers another chance at the title, Fox announced on Monday (June 23) that Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr are all set to return for the 14th season of "American Idol."
Having a blast in their homeland, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban showed up at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne in Melbourne, Australia on Friday (June 13) for a great cause.
The "Kiss a Girl" crooner and his "Moulin Rouge" actress were in the house to help raise money for the Swisse Celebrate Life Ball and they looked plenty cozy as the posed for the paparazzi.
It's one of country music's biggest nights and 2014 CMT Awards
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman certainly weren't about to be left out of the 2014 CMT Awards tonight (June 4).
The men and women of America's armed forces were given quite the honor on Monday night (April 7) as some of Country Music's biggest stars gathered for a touching tribute in Las Vegas.

Clean clean clean Booked for a second night by mistake and not refundable.
Great location Aging infrastructure
Staff was Very friendly...Location was great,walked to Hardrock cafe and falls..Our room was upgraded to 6th floor as we were newlywedsThe view was Fantastic!! Would have been great if there was a jacuzzi tub in rooms!
My husband and I enjoyed a very nice overnight stay at the beautiful Red Coach Inn. The dinner and breakfast were both excellent. The chilled champagne, cheese and crackers were a very nice surprise. The room was clean and neat. The staff was friendly but could of been a little more helpful with directing us to the area sightseeing attractions or the visitor information center just around the corner. The location was just perfect.

Former president Jimmy Carter is reviled by conservative talk show hosts, supporters of Israel and any night on Fox News as someone who hates Israel. Of course, Jimmy Carter is the ONLY AMERICAN PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY HELPED NEGOTIATE A PEACE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND AN ARAB NATION. I do not always agree with the ideas of Jimmy Carter, but his motives derive from a genuine desire to foster peace in the Middle East. He currently is talking with Hamas leaders who told him they were willing to accept the 1967 borders which, in effect, is recognizing the existence of the state of Israel. Ismail Haniyeh also told Carter he was willing to exchange captured Israel soldier Gilad Schalit for Palestinian prisoners.
Ironically, there are reports that al-Qaeda attempted to assassinate Carter by placing road side bombs on the route he was traveling. Ironically, the Shin Bet passed on information to Palestinian sources about the potential attack. The reality most Israelis do not wish to accept is they can have peace– based on 1967 borders if that is their desire. But, insisting that Israel can retain the West Bank is a killer in any attempt to secure peace. Accept the 1967 borders, be recognized by Arab nations and create a Middle Eastern version of the European Union– that is the road to peace.

key in the lock on the inside and now can't open from outside
left the key in the lock on the inside of the door to my flat and now can't open the lock from the outside, as the key wont enter the lock fully from the outside. Is there any way I can solve this without calling a lock smith?
the lock is one of these barrel locks. http://www.google.co.uk/products/cat...d=0CNIBEPICMAE
thanks for your time
Look at the key and see if the key has broken off at the tip and is still in side the lock.
If not, a spray of grafite or silicone my loosen up the stuck pin inside the lock.

Omega Welcomes Veterans for Unique Retreat to Help with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Omega Welcomes Veterans for Unique Retreat to Help with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Free Public Program to Be Held Saturday Night
RHINEBECK, New York - According to the New York Times, the Veterans Affairs Department has reported an estimated 134,000 veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, have sought help at a VA facility for possible Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In response to the growing number of returning veterans in need of support, Omega Institute is hosting a helpful retreat for the third consecutive year. Omega today welcomed 80 veterans, who were sponsored to take a 5-day meditation retreat aimed at providing tools for dealing with symptoms of PTSD. The retreat, taught by Zen Buddhist monk, Vietnam veteran, and author Claude Anshin Thomas, is taking place on Omega's Rhinebeck, New York campus, October 21-25, 2009, and will also include a free public program led by Thomas on Saturday evening, October 24th from 8:00 p.m.-9:30 p.m.
The veterans retreat at Omega has grown in enrollment from 12 participants in 2007, to 80 this year. Thanks to generous donations Omega received to its scholarship fund, the program has been underwritten since 2008, allowing increased access to veterans of any war, and their family members and friends. Scholarships substantially cover the cost of tuition, accommodations and meals on campus, and up to $100 in travel expenses. Thomas does not accept payment for his teachings. As a result, Omega Institute is donating a portion of the retreat's proceeds to the Zaltho Foundation, zaltho.org.
"We who have fought in war know intimately about life and death," says Claude Anshin Thomas. "We who have been wounded by war-physically, psychologically, and spiritually-need to come together in order to support each other."
Thomas, a Vietnam veteran, is author of At Hell's Gate and the founder of Zaltho Foundation, a nonprofit organization that promotes peace and nonviolence. Thomas received numerous awards, including the Purple Heart, for his service in the Vietnam War. After struggling with his re-entry into life at home, he studied mindfulness meditation with Thich Nhat Hanh. During the retreat, Thomas will share his inspiring story from combat to Buddhism as a road map for those who might feel trapped in cyclical patterns of response related to a traumatic experience.
While the retreat is sold out, space is available for the free public program with Thomas, titled, "The Hidden Cost of War." This free evening program will include a lecture, question-and-answer session, and book signing. No registration is required. Attendees should arrive at Omega's Rhinebeck campus 30 minutes prior to the event and look for directions to the program location at the Administration building. Thomas's talk will begin promptly at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 24th.
