I wasn't intending to post a haul today, although yesterday I went into town to pick up a few essentials I forgot to pack in my suitcase and this was the result. Firstly I'll tell you about the things I actually meant to pick up.. I some how forgot to pack the majority of my skincare along with some heat protection so my first stop was Boots were I finally decided to try one of the Una Brennan products everyone's been raving about! I picked up the Superfacialist Rose Hydrate Cleanser (£5.33/150ml) which I've heard amazing things about and look forward to trying it out. Next I went to Superdrug where the majority of hauling started! I picked up this Naturally Radiant Brightening Micro Polish (£2.48/75ml) and this Style Expert Styling Straightening Spray (£1.99/100ml) which I cant find online but according to my receipt it was £1.99, It's also from a brand I haven't heard of before which is always exciting! Finally for essential items I finally picked up another night cream after my Origins one sadly run out, instead I went for a cheaper choice in the form of this Nivea night cream (£2.86/50ml).
I didnt go too crazy with make up in Superdrug, although there were a few bits which caught my eye! The thing I'm happiest with is this Rimmel wake me up foundation (£8.99/30ml) in the new shade, light porcelain. I owned this previously although found that the lightest shade was too orange on my skintone so I was really pleased to hear that Rimmel were making a lighter shade since this stuff gets amazing reviews! As this was on a buy one get one half price offer I also picked up a colour rush lip crayon in the shade make me blush (£5.99/2.5g). Next I finally manged to track down an MUA lip Lacquer in the shade Funk (£3.00), and am bloody impressed with it so far so expect a review to come! Finally I spotted these work the colour palettes (£3.99) on the Collection stand and picked up the nude one to try out, I also got a polish free for spending a certain amount!
Ionic 3 palette (£4.00) I knew I had to have it along side my other dupes! I also loved the look of the vivid blush lacquer's (£3.00) so popped desire into my basket. Finally I picked up two lip products, the amazing care lipstick in love a hug (£3.00) and rebel with cause (£1.00)
As always I want to hear what you've been buying lately! Also if you want to see a review on any of the products mentioned just let me know in the comments below!

Title: Me Before You
Author: Jojo Moyes
Published: December 31st, 2012
Length: 369 pages (paperback)
Genre: Romance
Source: Purchased at Barnes and Noble
My Rating: ❤❤❤❤❤
(from Goodreads)
Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex–Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he's pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.
Obviously, this is a pretty popular book. I have wanted to read it for awhile now. Then the movie came out, and I wanted to read it even more. Then, I fell in love with the song "Unsteady" by X Ambassadors and their music video that included movie scenes. So, I was forced to buy the book, which I did months ago. And it has been sitting on my bookshelf, staring at me. So, I finally picked it up.
I'll be honest. When I first read about this book, I thought to myself, "This guy dies! Why would I want to read a book where the guy clearly dies. I'm just gonna be sad!" That may have been the reason I waited so long to read it. But all the hype and constantly hearing about it just made me HAVE to read it. And I'm so glad I did 🙂
Gave me all the feels. I always said to myself, if a book can make me cry, it's a good book. And boy did I cry. I was crying like a baby last night. You can try to prepare yourself all you want for this book, like I thought I did, but the end will still hit you like a ton of bricks and make you feel things you didn't think you would feel. It was heartbreaking. But I love that it affected me so much. That just means it is brilliantly written.
Lou and Will. I loved these two characters as individuals. I loved their relationship. They met under unconventional, extraordinary circumstances, and they probably never would have met otherwise. They are so different. Will is so adventurous, and Lou likes to just sit back and read a book, which is why Will gets frustrated; he can't do the things he used to love to do, and Lou can but she won't. I think they both end up teaching each other another way to live. And I absolutely love that.
The pace. It started out a little slow, but I ended up liking that. I liked how it took awhile for Lou and Will to actually like each other. They got so irritated with one another at first, and then they grew on each other. I liked the buildup. I like how it just instantly hit me three-quarters of the way in. I was getting to know the characters, and then I realized how much I adored them.
The issues. Assisted suicide has definitely been debated. Personally, I don't get why there is a debate. If people are suffering, and they are choosing to end their lives, who are we to judge? Can you say you wouldn't think about doing the same thing if you were in their shoes? Hopefully, you'll never have to make that decision. Anyway, I really liked how Moyes addressed it. I like how it was the center of the story in a way. There were different viewpoints presented by each character, but I really like no matter what side of the debate you are on, you, as a reader, really understand why Will is making the decision he feels he needs to make.
The supporting characters bugged me a little at times, but that didn't take anything away from the book. We are not meant to like every character from every book we read. That would be weird. So, overall, there really wasn't anything I didn't like. It was amazing.
I loved it. I absolutely loved it. I don't even know how to move on from this book. I cried and cried and cried, until I fell asleep. Then, I woke up sad. So, how am I supposed to just start reading another book? Oh the struggle…Thank you, Jojo Moyes for writing such an incredible book.
5 out of 5 Hearts!

Spinners win back-to-back MABL ChampionshipsPosted: October 03, 2016 | View Comments
2016 MABL Champs - Cambridge Spinners
For the first time since 2010, the #1 seeded teams in their respective divisions faced off in the MABL Championship finals. Both the Cambridge Spinners and the Boston Athletics finished atop their division in the regular season with a 17-7 record, once again earning themselves a first round bye in the playoffs.
After a gritty championship series, the Spinners would go on to successfully defend their MABL title, defeating the Athletics in four games and earning themselves back-to back championships. They did it on the back of Cy Young award winner Luc Kocher who posted a 3-0 record and a 1.67 ERA in the postseason to go along with 17 K's. Equally impressive was the Athletics pitching staff and their 1.04 postseason ERA but great defense and timely hitting would be the difference in the series.
Congratulations to the Cambridge Spinners and to the runner-up Athletics on a great season.

Not a cake made from cheese unfortunately! Cheesecake is popular all around the world & each country has it's own variations..all very lovely!!!
Almost all modern cheesecakes in the United States and Canada use cream cheese; in Italy, cheesecakes use ricotta; Germany and Poland use quark. Cheesecakes are most easily baked in a leak-proof springform pan, often paired with a water bath to more evenly distribute the heat. Because of the high density of most cheesecakes, they continue baking for some time after removal from an oven.
Whether cheesecake should be classified as a cake, a custard, a torte, or something else is a matter of debate.

Flute stolen after owner hit on head with hammer during burglary in Toowong, Brisbane
A flute was stolen and a man hospitalised after being hit on the head with a hammer as he attempted to stop two men from breaking into his Toowong unit last night.
Queensland police said the 26-year-old male occupant confronted two men attempting to break into the Horrocks Street property about 9:15pm Tuesday.
Police said the resident managed to hit one of the men with a shovel before one of them hit him on the head with a hammer, stole a bag containing a flute and fled the scene.
The man sustained a laceration to his head and was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital for treatment.
The bag containing the flute was found in the street a short time later by a neighbour.
The first man is described as being Caucasian in appearance, aged in his 30s, about 178 centimetres tall with a tanned complexion.
The second man is described as being about 178 centimetres tall and younger than the first man.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.

Lawrence "Larry" Martyn (22 March 1934 - 7 August 1994) was an English actor known for his comedy performances.
Martyn was born in London and was a former member of the Parachute Regiment. He was famous as Mr. Mash in the BBC comedy series Are You Being Served?, appearing in the first three series before being replaced by Arthur English. He was unable to continue in this role because he was committed to the television series Spring and Autumn with Jimmy Jewel. Other TV appearances included Dad's Army, On the Buses, Look - Mike Yarwood!, Rising Damp and The Detectives. He also played alongside Frankie Howerd in two of his BBC shows, Up Pompeii! and Whoops Baghdad.
Martyn played the role of the lovable spiv Private Walker in the radio version of Dad's Army after the death of James Beck. His film roles included Carry On at Your Convenience where he had a small part as the pier rifle-range owner, and Carry On Behind, where he played an inept electrician who helps wire up the public address system at the campsite the film was set in.
Martyn died on August 7, 1994 at home in St Mary's Bay, Kent, and was survived by his wife Hilary and their two daughters.[1]

Aussie media boxes itself into a racist Corner over Katie Taylor
NOT only did the Daily Telegraph (Aus) claim Irishboxing star Katie Taylor as one of their very own (see left) but journalist Peter Hanlon of Australian media group Fairfax produced a stunningly stereotypical piece on the success of the Olympian in the aftermath of her victory over Team GB's Natasha Jones on Monday.
Hanlon's article, which was run in the Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Brisbane Times, practically jumped out at the reader dressed in a leprechaun's outfit shouting "Bejaysus".
Take the headline itself, which successfully covers the old drunken Irish stereotype –
"Punch Drunk: Ireland intoxicated as Taylor swings towards boxing gold"
However, Hanlon's not done with the drunken angle yet. He then adds a few individual drinks into the mix for good measure.
"For centuries, Guinness and whiskey have sent the Irish off their heads. Now all it takes is a petite 26-year-old from Wicklow."
Not satisfied with painting the Irish as a nation of feckless drunks, Hanlon then hits us with a one-two combination of a) fighting and b)

Mobile News Apps
With just a few months to go before launching the Windows Marketplace for mobile applications , Microsoft has published details on porting iPhone apps to its Windows Mobile platform. They found apps for smartphones were in high demand around the world, with more than 700,000 such apps downloaded every month for Android phones alone. Be aware that eastern toilets are little more than wholes in the ground surrounded by ceramic and involve water, not paper, for cleaning. The free app gets users quick access to more than 25,000 last minute deals, more than 2 million user-entered reviews of places to stay and lots of great last minute bookings for specific locations. In the following days, other technology bloggers discovered that iPhone apps like Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and Foodspotting similarly uploaded user data – without permission, in some cases. This great business news site offers one of the best business apps for free on the iPhone. By downloading this app, you can get access to all the interesting and mind-blowing lectures by these people.
Unfortunately the app is all about the upsell, sometimes throttling free creations to just one per day, while including only five free pro renders. The combination of Apple's current-gen A9 chipset with 2GB of RAM is enough to keep things running smoothly, from swiping through home screens to switching between apps to firing up graphically intensive games. For example, participants were only able to complete 51 percent of data-entry tasks across all apps. As their own gig, the app stores provide their own web interface or client app to browse and download the apps from their servers. Instashare In spite of my reliance on iCloud and Dropbox to keep my data and documents in sync across devices, I often want to move bits of text and images between my iPhone and iPad quickly and without uploading them to a web service first. The only benefit you miss out on when you are no longer in the program is the free minutes.
This allows readers to sign up on an FT website and then sign on any device, including the iPad and iPhone through Apple's Safari browser. Then, once the app is created, give it away for free so you can get thousands of influential people using your app and seeing your company name. Your screen will flash briefly and you will return to the main iOS 4 Springboard home page with its icons. Recently, the major of developers started to offer the mobile apps on Android smartphones. On the next page we look at numbers 8 to 14 of the best iPhone and iPad apps that make you money as well as a list of other money making apps you might want to consider. The iPad lacks three of the top 20 Android apps: Advanced Task Killer, the Amazon Appstore, and Google+. You dont know anything about ipad apps development and here you are, preparing to make the first step.
With Assistant Unrestrictor however, the Siri not available message will be replaced with the Voice Control prompt which was originally available in iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. As iPhone sales level off, Apple can utilize its existing base of users to wring more money out of its higher-margin services business, several analysts said. Nokia's Symbian mobile operating system is the global market leader and RIM's platform is No. 2, but both are losing market share, according to Gartner data. Facebook Messenger – This app is the way that I keep in touch with many friends, and it is a must have on the iPhone 6s. Breaking with tradition, the company will not release first-weekend sales of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, saying the figure is more a reflection of supply than demand. For its second-quarter, Apple said its iTunes Store revenue increased by more than a third to almost $1.9 billion.
Sales data is not widely reported so it's not yet clear whether patients and their doctors are embracing them. Described as 'the most fun you can have with your finger', Doodle Buddy is a free doodling app, which comes complete with various playful backgrounds and stamps. Apple's iPhone is undoubtedly the most successful smartphone making new dominance in the social networking apps. So if your spouse is working late (again) or has changed their behavioral patterns recently, knowing where their iPhone is located might just be a good thing. Actually, it's better than the 6s's camera in one subtle way: Since the iPhone SE is a slightly thicker phone, it doesn't have the awkward camera nub seen on members of the iPhone 6 family. You have to enable a pass-code in your iPhone, so that the log-in screen can show both pass code and GuestMode access.
In addition to getting a beautiful new iPhone, the stores are like a playground; allowing you to play with the iPhones and the several thousand apps and other Apple devices like the iPad or iPod Touch and talk to the super friendly staff. HBO Go – Watch HBO on your iPhone using your cable login, or use HBO Now to watch with a subscription direct to HBO. It is also important to note that power and data hungry apps are the ones you use most often, and interestingly the ones you are tempted to leave running, for quick and repeated access. There's a tendency for weather apps to either bombard you with facts or try to be too clever with design. The number of incidents with iPhone 4 is 70 percent bigger than the one with iPhone 3GS.
The app's release comes at a time when the technology industry has faced criticism for being too focused on making what some deem frivolous products such as apps for sharing photos and video games, as well as for intruding into people's personal privacy. Although the form factor has changed somewhat (the iPhone 5 is larger and lighter than its predecessor), other enhancements and changes are lurking under the hood. This also explains why Apple houses the largest app repository, bustling with apps and games. Of course, we have also taken into consideration the fact that the back of the new iPhone is made of glass, which can explain the high percent of the broken devices.
Koubachi, a plant sensor placed in the soil of a potted plant, connects to an iPhone app to send notifications when it needs watering, misting, sun or shade. Although both scanners allow you to save scans to your scan history, the organizing and sharing options are better in the QR Reader for iPhone app. Interactive participation: With the growing popularity of iPhone Application development, there are numerous site dedicated and invites comments & views. IPhone and Android… both of them are by far the most sought after smartphones of the iteration. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not delete the LIVESTRONG Calorie Tracker app you've been using until you've confirmed your data has been successfully transferred.
A number of iPhone case suppliers have announced that they will be modifying their iPhone 4 case designs to take into account the subtle changes. Just as the super-success of iPhone and other Smartphones fuelled the demand for new applications, the popularity of iPad has created a huge market for iPad apps. The existence of thousands of apps accessible in the App Store, and leaving out some of the following apps like ABC, Pandora and Netflix, some of the apps are already active and operative internationally.
Once the iPhone app workflow is complete then you and your designer know exactly how the app should work. But if you just want an app to read the Bible on your iPhone this will do the job. For instance, to download printable images at 10- or 20-inch sizes (an option competing apps don't provide), plan on spending more. Various applications can be created using tab bar controllers and is must for iPhone programming. Search tool apps, new apps, travel apps, sports apps, weather apps, productive apps of different kinds add spice and value to the life of iPad users. You're also able to get file system access to data contained within the apps or other directories on your device. Hey, I'm Chris and this is where I teach people how to build iOS apps even if they don't have any programming experience. Thousands of users have given this app five-star reviews, as can be seen in the review section of the App Store.
Others allow developers familiar with HTML and javascript to write Apps using their existing program knowledge to write the code, and then will transform that code into a native iPhone Application which can be submitted to the iTunes Store. These apps are so powerful that it would not have been necessary to pay a single penny for any other GPS apps. Even if you don't have a background in programming, you shall have the capability to generate an iPhone app as long as you are good at following instructions. As a result, Apple's iOS platform remains far and away the most popular platform for autism families and developers of apps for people with special needs. Along with the demand for more and more apps, there are more and more companies offering to develop iPad apps.
Also raising the stakes for its services business has been Apple's decision to release in March the smaller, much cheaper iPhone SE – a move that is seen as trading revenue per device for broader adoption of its phones. Even better, you can listen to Spotify's huge catalogue entirely for free on your iPhone, although there are some caveats: album tracks are shuffled, ads periodically play, and there's no offline listening. A next watershed would be a deal to sign up China Mobile to a carrier deal on the iPhone 5, expected to be released to the market in the third quarter.
We left out a lot of great apps from this list – particularly if you're in the US, there are several amazing apps out there that we didn't cover here. Songkick has a useful Concerts view to see the full schedule of upcoming concerts by artists I'm tracking, it integrates with apps like Sunrise to insert events in the calendar, and it even recommends artists I may want to check out based on my tastes. It was launched on October 10, World Mental Health Day, but has already had early success, with more than 1,500 downloads, a #3 ranking among free Health & Fitness apps, and Twitter recognition by Alistair Campbell, Tony Blair's former spokesman who now campaigns on mental health. As an alternative to OpenAppMkt, you can also browse by category or search for apps for purchase and download through the Give Me Apps store.
As well as programming skills and understanding of the iPhone system you may also need to play the roles of Researcher, Creator and Idea Developer, Entrepreneur, Project Manager, Information Architect, User Information Designer, Accountant, Developer, Marketer and Advertiser. Apps that you download carry with them a currency used in a handful of apps and hundreds of themes in lieu of paying real money called GetJar Gold. NFL Mobile – With my Verizon iPhone 6s I can watch the Sunday Night, Monday Night and Thursday Night Football games live on the iPhone. Scans were read by two neuro-radiologists, on a medical diagnostic workstation and on an iPhone The research is published in the May 6th edition of Journal of Medical Internet Research. With this iPad apps you can move items through your fingers and change their sizes with a pinch of your fingers.
The iPhone industry is also working on integrating major social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc so that it can truly become a multi-operational device. In March, Apple released the iPhone SE, a smaller, 4-inch-screen phone featuring much of the company's latest technology. With iPhone app you preserve better your client correlation for long duration and it must be important to have long business relationship. Soon, there is growing concern that this contract between the two giant companies may affect the sales of iPhone. Continue positioning your app against the far right edge of the screen until it is on a page by itself.

#Be More: 77 Secrets to Your Powerful Life
by Sandi Krakowski
Sandi Krakowski is a social media giant and her book, Be More, is a continuation of that impact. With over 1 million followers, she uses her platform to encourage others to pursue their purpose and calling.
Her book offers 77 secrets to a powerful life, focusing on how to stop Doing More and start Being More in 5 specific areas: Be More connected to God, Be More in tune with yourself, Be More attentive to your relationships, Be More engaged with your community, Be More mindful of your world.
Sandi's personality shines through. She sounds wacky and wild, daring and upbeat. With just snippets of her own story spread throughout the book it's clear she's an overcomer.
This would make a great gift book for a graduate or someone starting off in ministry or beginning a new business. Most people who pick it up are going to love the extremely short lessons that sound like pep talks or cheerleading sessions. Essentially they could be Facebook posts combined with a tiny Twitter message at the end. Taken out of context, any number of her comments could sound like 'prosperity gospel' teaching, something along the lines that we should all be happy all the time. She doesn't really say that and actually talks about how to deal with difficult times (and that fact we will face them). Nevertheless, the entirety of the book can probably be summed up like this: Be yourself. Learn from Your Mistakes. Think positive. Take risks.
My personal preference is for books with a great deal of depth and theological weight to them. That isn't this book, so it wasn't my favorite. I read the whole book, but forced myself to do so. Even so, I fully realize that the majority of people are actually looking for the kind of positive-message, motivational-speaker-style, self-help encouragement that this book offers. She has over 1 million followers for a reason—people are looking for hope. If that's you, then you'll love it. If you're looking for something that goes deeper, you'll need to look elsewhere.
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255 : "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

Editor's Letter Facts are facts whether or not you believe in them, including those having to do with climate change
Happy Holidays!
Every year, more and bigger climate events seem to be happening. Last month, it was the Super Typhoon Haiyan, which slammed into the Philippines on Friday November 8th, one of the strongest storms ever recorded on the planet. Here are some facts about the storm, from USA Today: • Super Typhoon Haiyan had winds of 195 mph and gusts of 235 mph. This is one of the highest wind speeds ever recorded in a storm in world history. • It made landfall as the most powerful typhoon or hurricane in recorded history, as based on wind speed measurements from satellites. • The strength of Haiyan is equal to that of an extremely powerful Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic. (Typhoons are the same type of storms as hurricanes). • No hurricane in the Atlantic has ever been this strong; Hurricane Camille hit the U.S. Gulf Coast with an estimated wind speed of 190 mph. • The storm was over 300 miles wide. • Haiyan is the fourth typhoon to hit the Philippines in 2013. • Sea level rise from global warming is escalating the risk posed by storm surges across the globe, including in low-lying areas of the Philippines. Ah, but global climate change? Don't worry your little head about it, say deniers at Fox "news" and brilliant minds like Rush Limbaugh, who says, "If you believe in God, then intellectually you cannot believe in manmade global warming." After all, according to the bible, God gave man dominion over all the earth. So, how could we possibly screw up? Which is like saying no babysitter ever made a mistake or harmed a child in their care. If we don't act, and soon, we are leaving a future wasteland to the next generation. That simply is not an option. – James Israel, Publisher/editor

but it turned out to be more complicated than that.

it was indeed pretty frightening.

Blown, Burnt and Compromised: Spy vs Spy In here. Pssst. Don't look. Okay. Sit down. Pretend you're reading the International Herald Tribune. Order a coffee. Make it a decaf. Two Sweet and Lows. Pass them to me. Take this Splenda. Pay no attention to the man with the hearing aid. Give the waiter a five and leave through the kitchen. Don't forget an extra twenty for me. Talking about spying. Apparently, we're doing quite a bit of it. And not just to ourselves, we're spying on foreigners as well. And like us, the foreigners are none too happy about it. Not because they don't spy on us, of course they do. Everybody spies on everybody. They're not happy because we do it so much better than they do. Hey. We're No. 1. USA! USA! Sure, they're jealous. Because we're such superior spyers. Longer cloaks. Sharper daggers. Bugging the Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel's cell phone. Are you kidding me? That's genius. Who does that? We do, that's who. The Vatican? No. No. No. THE VATICAN. But seriously, how's that supposed to help? Must be a training exercise. What kind of intel are you going to mine out of 125 gossipy old men prancing around in red dresses? It's a fact we have the best technology and the most money.

Whoever hired him has to be sweating bullets. Looking to experience extraordinary rendition up close and personal. Headed straight for the Oppenheim Memorial Park water board slide. Or… this whole thing… is a ruse. Because in espionage, fog and smoke and mirrors are assets. These revelations could be part of a complicated disinformation campaign. Yeah. Sure. It's an old Gestapo trick. You sacrifice one of your own to gain the trust of the enemy. All's fair when rooting out the tangos. Down the rabbit hole, maybe Snowden is in deep cover play-
ing some counter-counter-intelligence game. And that alleged activity of his: bona fides to build up the legend. A provocative provocateur. Defective defector. Sanitized sleeper. Mole boy.

Folks have been known to sleep in the garage. It's the Democrats sleeping in the garage these days, because they cannot make eye contact with the leader of their own party. The liberal exodus off the presidential bandwagon has become so monumental, we're approaching klaxon fire-drill evacuation levels. AAUUUGUAH! "Not really sure." "Didn't know." "So sorry." The last couple months witnessed a bout of administration policy blunders that made the rounds of disastrous to calamitous with a side trip to fiasco. To his compatriots, the phrase Barack Obama Leadership Skills, is similar to saying Paula Deen Apollo Theater bookings. The situation has pretty much distilled down into three camps. The portion of the party a little to the left of Fidel that will never be happy until Barry twitches his nose and world peace and an end to planetary hunger simultaneously fall out. The centrists who don't quite understand what all the hubbub is about or why everyone is so mad at the president. After all, he hasn't done anything. And Joe Biden. Not all the fault should be laid at the president's feet. He was hailed by progressives as a savior who would part the heavens and cause yoga pants to rain down on them like snowflakes. Which was understandable, because after all, he was, ostensibly a Democrat, and following eight years of George W. Bush, Cardinal Richelieu would have seemed progressive. But in truth, Barack was always a middle-of-the-road kind of guy. A facilitator who brought people together. Of course, the only way to bring the squabbling children inside today's Beltway together is through the use of a wind tunnel, fire hose and 55-gallon drum of industrial-strength glue. Obama's strengths are inspiration, vision and focus. Turning him into a bipartisan baby sitter is like throwing a saddle on a fish. You don't send a constitutional lawyer into the Wrangler National Rodeo Finals and expect him to end the night wearing a Champion Bullrider trophy buckle. But with confused dithering on Syria, followed by a government shutdown and then an Affordable Care Act rollout less nimble than a giraffe in a disco, Democrats are falling off the Presidential bus faster than milk sours in Mexico on an August afternoon. Fall off? Jumping off. Like Maui sunbath ers at a stop sign next to a com pli men tary sand-out-of-your-butt plastic spatula stand. Of course, this is the moment in a second term where this sort of thing goes down. Reagan had the Contras. Clinton had Monica. Bush had Katrina. And now Obama has miasma. But don't count him out. No matter what you think of Obama's policies, you got to admire his ability not to get involved in them. He's the opposite of a super hero. He's a Zero Hero. And if you're looking for a silver lining, we can all agree he's starting to make Joe Biden look presidential. Maybe that's the plan, man.

that can make you cringe.
The Hightower Lowdown Monsanto Buys a Food Prize As Lily Tomlin has noted, "No matter how cynical you get, it's almost impossible to keep up." For example, imagine if a prestigious group announced that this year's "World Environmental Prize" is being awarded to BP, for its unique contribution to the ecology of the Gulf of Mexico. No way, you say? Too absurd? Right, but try this one: Imagine that an Iowa group announces that its "World Food Prize" will go to Monsanto for pushing its patented, pricey, genetically-tampered Frankenseeds on impoverished lands as an "answer" to global hunger. This would be so morally perverse that the "cyn" in cynical would be spelled s.i.n. Yet, it has actually happened. Rather than encouraging sustainable farming and self-sufficiency in impoverished communities as a way to alleviate poverty and malnutrition around the world, this year's World Food Prize has been "won" by a profiteering, biotech, seed-and-chemical monopolist that's the freakish opposite of sustainability. Monsanto, which owns 90 percent of the world's genetically modified seeds, is globally infamous for bullying
family farmers, bribing and corrupting governments, stiffing independent scientific inquiries into its hokum, running false ads and fraudulent PR campaigns, and going all out to keep consumers from knowing that the crops produced by its seeds contain alien, bio-engineered DNA and have not been tested for long-term health and environmental problems. Why would this avaricious outfit get any sort of award, much less one that can give it a false le git i macy as a cor po rate "sav ior" for the world's poor? Perhaps because Monsanto is a major funder of the World Food Prize. Indeed, the foundation that hands out the award is headquartered in downtown Des Moines in a historic building that recently got a spiffy remodeling, thanks to a $5 million donation from — you guessed it — Monsanto. The corporate honoree has also been a steady donor to the food prize foundation, giving some $400,000 to its promotion of industrial agribusiness in the last dozen years. How cynical is that? Even Lily Tomlin wouldn't have imagined it. It was my privilege to go to Des Moines last week for Monsanto's World Food Prize extrava-
ganza. Well, I didn't exactly get into the ceremony where the halo was being fitted on this predatory proliferator of proprietary GMO seeds. In fact, I wasn't even allowed to enter the Monsanto-financed edifice, wasn't invited to sip sauvignon blanc at the Rockefeller reception on the patio, and didn't get to mingle with the cor po rate, po lit i cal, and foun da tion backscratchers at the official hullabaloo. Rather, I was down the street at the graceful First United Methodist Church, where more than 500 of us scruffy "outsiders" gathered in pro test of the Monsanto ab sur dity. There, real-life Iowa farmers spoke plainly about the myriad of abuses they have endured at the hands of the genetic manipulator. One pointed out that if the corporation genuinely gave even one damn about hunger, it could've used its immense lobbying clout in Washington this year to stop Congress from stripping the entire food stamp program from the farm bill. Instead, Monsanto didn't lift a finger to help fend off hunger in our own country. It doesn't care at all about feeding the world, he said with disgust, it cares about profits, period. Indeed, Monsanto is a pitch-perfect example of what Pope Francis was referring to in May, when he declared: "The worship of the golden calf of old has found a new and heartless image
JIM HIGHTOWER in the cult of money and the dictatorship of an economy which is faceless and lacking any truly humane goal." How ironic, then, that Monsanto bought this food prize for itself in order to masquerade as a world hunger fighter, hoping to persuade the Vatican to bless its demonic effort to force the world's poor farmers to buy and become dependent on its altered seed. The World Food Prize Foun da tion has grandly dubbed its award "The Nobel Prize for Agriculture." But Monsanto has zero to do with agri-Culture. It is the agri-Business face of the cult of money that Francis warned about — and it has turned this award into the "Ignoble Prize." "We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." – Franklin D. Roosevelt, in an address at Madison Square Garden, New York City, October 31, 1936

"We Report, You Decry!" In Sports
Bengals Hire Incognito to Bully Andy Dalton CINCINNATI, OH – Fol low ing two straight losses and some inconsistent play by quarterback Andy Dalton, the Cincinnati Bengals have enlisted the help of former Miami Dolphins line man Richie Incognito. Incognito has been hired to bully Andy Dal ton in hopes of improving his per formance. " I ' m d i s a ppointed in the team's execution," said head coach Marvin Lewis. "There's a sense of direction and discipline that I've been unable to instill. My voice is shot and my forearms hurt from shaking guys by their face masks. I think this is an excellent time to bring in that fat, hillbilly bully and see what he can do." Incognito was quick to take the job, feeling that his suspension from the Dolphins will permanent. "I'm not exactly what you would call super employable," he explained. "There's not much out there for a hulking bully with a low IQ who has been accused of racism. Back in the day, I woulda made a great busboy at Denny's, but we all know that Mexicans are stealing those jobs now." Having secured the position, Incognito says he is looking forward to getting down to work. "First, I'm gonna have to get the red-haired fairy's phone number," Incognito explains. "Then I'm gonna let that potato eating ginger freak know that wherever he turns, I'll be there. I'll also have to think up all kind of other bad names to call him. Maybe I should do some research by listening to sports talk radio. Then, once I get Dalton straightened out, I'm hoping Mike Brown hires me as a life-coach." Reported by DerfMagazine.com
Headline News Section Aspiring to the High Standards Set by Cable News
Revealed: Bernie Madoff Almost Opted for Less Criminal 'Fonzie Scheme' NEW YORK – In a surprising series of revelations yesterday, former investment tycoon and cur rent res i dent of Butner Prison, Bernie Madoff, admitted to the press that he came very close to not going through with his infamous Ponzi scheme back in the late 1970?s. We flew to North Carolina and spoke with him in person. "It was 1975," Madoff said. "Gerald Ford was president. The Reds had just won the World Series. And I was in love with two things: money and Arthur Fonzerelli. You might say I had a choice to make. But I guess you already know which one won out." Apparently, Bernie Madoff, the man with high aspirations for even higher finance, was ready to give it all up and go on the road as an impersonator of the Fonze. "It was the perfect scheme. I called it the 'Fonzie Scheme'."
Even a cursory glance from the unobservant is enough to reveal the uncanny resemblance be-

tween Mr. Money and Mr. Cool. Bernie, sitting on the edge of his cot, glazed over for a moment and spoke as if he were alone with his thoughts.
White House: "ObamaScare" Website Was Just a Halloween Stunt A Humor Times exclusive report Amongst rising criticism, the administration now says the ACA website troubles were all a "harmless Halloween prank." "The problems were created intentionally, as a Halloween prank to scare the bejesus out of people," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney at a press conference today. "In-house, we called it 'ObamaScare,' and had a lot of good laughs. We especially enjoyed watching those TV pundits get their panties all in a bunch!" The president released a statement on the matter, saying, "We thought we'd have a bit of Halloween fun is all. Lighten up, America! You'll get your health care. We'll put the real website up as a Christmas present on December 25th, it works like a charm." After reading the statement, Carney put down his prepared notes and said, "We just found out about all the hubbub the website roll-out has

"Anyway, hell," he went on, "we had the best internet brains in the country on the president's re-elec tion committee. Did you all re ally think we couldn't handle a little ol' website?" Re ac ti on has been swift. CNN's Wolf Blitzer was in New ObamaScare website model. Image by Dennis the "Situation Burger, flickr.com. Room" and said, "This is a bad situation. Really bad."
"We chose the U.S. for 2013," he continued, "not so much for one area in particular but because it's animus is rich with diversity. There are innumerable groups (and extreme members within groups) who subsist almost entirely on their animosity toward others." People all around the country, after learning the news, took to the streets to celebrate, embracing their anger and turning a negative into a positive-neg ative (don't worry, we did the math). With signs and banners that read, "U.S. Hatorade Tastes the Best!" and "We Love to Hate," America appears to be a country reborn. Like a beautiful angry rainbow, hordes of atheists, fundamentalists, democrats, republicans, libertarians, members of the Tea Party and Occupy, dentists, LGBT, KKK, Black Panthers, skinheads and much, much more, all came to-
Blitzer added a rhetorical question for the president: "Do you realize you made us look like fools? We spent HOURS trying to log on, wasting our viewers' time, when we could have been screwing up so many more relevant stories, CNN-style." Over at Fox, Gretchen Carlson nearly fainted on live television when she heard the news from a reporter on the scene. "What? What did you say? Unbelievable! We finally get a story right, and find out it was all a joke?! I'm going back to the Fox & Friends couch — I need some therapy." On the website, which is still the "scary" version (until Christmas), some changes were visible. The name was changed to "ObamaScare" and the smiling woman on the home page was replaced with an image of a Halloween witch, who just hap pened to look a lot like Gretchen Carlson.
Man Responds to 'Use This Weird Trick' Ad; Gets Rich, Famous, Laid A Humor Times Special Report Jed Jackman, age 34, of Buffalo, New York, answered one of those "weird trick" ads online recently, and was pleasantly surprised. "I really didn't expect any thing groundbreaking, I was just bored," Jackman said, "so I clicked on it. Now my life is forever changed!" "Weird trick" ads have been proliferating on the internet recently, luring viewers in who are looking for "secret" methods to success, be it picking up dates, making lots of money, obtaining great abs, or just getting healthy. Experts say the ads have been successful because people like the idea of shortcuts. "Rather than having to put lots of time and effort doing real work to attain a goal, what if there were one little weird trick that could get you there?" asks Professor Samuel Urnsky of the University of Long Island School of Business. "It only takes a few seconds to find out, they figure, so why not try? Hmm, that sounds good. I think I'll click on this one!" However, as many have discovered to their dismay, clicking on those ads usually leads to a long video or a page that scrolls on forever, as the advertiser tries to soften up a potential buyer before making the final sales pitch. But Jackman says he got lucky, and found
Americans Find Common Ground with Irreconcilable Divisions Hate really is a powerful thing. Powerful enough to divide a house, but apparently, under the right circumstances, strong enough to bring it back together too. The annual World Hate Awards Tour Extravaganza (or World HATE for short), which celebrates some of the greatest examples of enmity on our planet, recently announced this year's winner: The United States. "Of course, it's difficult to choose," said Ima Gin, one of the organization's council members. "There is so much hatred in our world that it would take a million organizations like us to highlight all of it. Africans hating Africans, Chinese hating Japanese, Russians hating Poles, Arabs hating Jews and vice-versa, North Koreans hating almost everyone, and on and on and on."
"It was perfect, I tell you. No one could get hurt (well, except for a few lonely hearts)." Then, turning back to the camera and becoming increasingly animated, he said, "Is it too much to think that I could snap my fingers and happiness would appear? Or that maybe I could hit my hand on the hood of life and the world would turn on for me? Just like it did for him?! Maybe that's exactly what I was doing all that time! Yeah, that's right! I became him! I was the Fonze!" At this point, Bernie Madoff became silent for a few minutes and gazed out of the bars of his one room cell.

The Curiosity has found no signs of football, beer, or porn – destroying the theory that Men are from Mars. Bill Clinton said President Obama should keep his promise and let people keep their health plans. That is beyond parody. Next Toronto's mayor will ask President Obama two questions, what was he smoking when he made that promise and does he have any left. WalMart announced it'll open at six o'clock on Thanksgiving Day. It breaks up family time. It's an American tradition to put two gallons of wine and a carving knife on a dinner table within reach of relatives who haven't seen each other for one year, and watch the fun. Toronto mayor Rob Ford hinted Monday he may check into alcohol and drug rehab after videos revealed his Boogie Nights lifestyle. He's up for re-election next year. Mayor Ford plans to run on his successful record of taking crack off the streets of Toronto.

At the time of his slaying, The CIA, Castro. the Mafia, the NAACP, the Teamsters and the South were furious at him, plus he had six mistresses. In fifty years we have gone from wondering who killed Kennedy to realizing that everybody killed him. President Obama saluted the oldest World War II veteran Rich Overton Monday who is one hundred and seven. He said his secret is whiskey in his coffee and twelve cigars a day. The moment the first lady turned her back, he slipped President Obama a candy bar. Miley Cyrus smoked a joint while accepting an award at the MTV Awards Monday in Amsterdam immediately after Miley had twerked with a dwarf during a musical number. It had everybody talking. Until then, nobody thought that a dwarf could ever stoop so low. Jenna Jameson ended her porn retirement to be a webcam model who performs sex acts online for tips.

"I can only say: I'm sorry, America. As a former Federal Reserve official, I was responsible for executing the centerpiece program of the Fed's first plunge into the bond-buying experiment known as quantitative easing. The central bank continues to spin QE as a tool for helping Main Street. But I've come to recognize the program for what it really is: the greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time." – Andrew Huszar, who managed the Federal Reserve's $1.25 trillion mortgage-backed security purchase program, and wrote this in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal 11/11/13.
