LONDON (Reuters) - Telecom operator Swisscom is considering a possible sale of its Italian broadband firm Fastweb, which is worth up to 5 billion euros ($6.3 billion) and has been a target for Vodafone, sources familiar with the situation said.
The Swiss majority state-owned firm, which has already rebuffed several takeover approaches from Vodafone for Fastweb, is now working with UBS, Vodafone's long-term adviser, to facilitate a deal, said the sources who could not be named because the matter is private.
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Ericsson, the world's top mobile network equipment market, will stop developing modems, it said on Thursday, shutting a loss-making unit it took on after joint venture partner STMicroelectronics pulled out a year ago.
Europe's semiconductor firms are struggling to compete with bigger U.S. and Asian rivals, which have largely outsourced chip manufacturing to cope with volatility in demand and prices.
"Since integration, the modems market has developed in a direction that has reduced the addressable market for thin modems," Ericsson said in a statement.
PARIS/MADRID (Reuters) - Orange has offered buy Spanish telecoms operator Jazztel for around 3.4 billion euros (4.40 billion US dollar), a deal that could help the French company jump ahead of rival Vodafone in the country's mobile market.
Orange's offer for Jazztel is at 13 euros per share in cash, valuing it at 3.4 billion euros. The French company will pay for the acquisition with hybrid bonds and a capital increase of up to 2 billion euros.
Jazztel Chairman Leopoldo Fernandez Pujals has agreed to sell his 14.5 percent stake.
(Reuters) - AT&T Inc <T.N> on Monday said Spain's Telefonica SA <TEF.MC> will license its home security technology for limited trials in Europe as the U.S. carrier hopes it has found a new way to profit from its nascent connected-home business.
Telefonica will offer European customers a version of Digital Life, AT&T's home monitoring and automation system, for three to six months before evaluating results of the trial, said Steven Bartholomew, a Telefonica spokesman.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank (ECB) has no plans to end its business relations with U.S. telecoms firm Verizon Communications Inc, ECB President Mario Draghi said in response to a query from a member of the European parliament on Thursday.
The German government said in June it had canceled a contract with Verizon as part of an overhaul of its internal communications, prompted by revelations last year of U.S. government spying.
In the letter to Fabio De Masi, Draghi wrote that the ECB "takes the threat of economic espionage very seriously".
United Kingdom:
Delegates at this conference will assess latest developments in the links between broadcasting and the second screen.
They will consider challenges and opportunities as broadcasting and social media integrate in editorial and production processes - as well as the implications of the changing commercial relationships between content producers, distributors and ISPs, particularly for investment, innovation and competition.
PARIS (Reuters) - Telecoms operator Orange's investment in faster fiber and mobile broadband networks in its French home market has started to pay off, as its high-end focus insulates it from cut- price fixed plans offered by rival Bouygues.
As France's largest carrier reported second-quarter results in line with forecasts on Tuesday, it said that some 60 percent of new mobile customers were signing up for high-end plans that include 4G and that 50,000 new customers had signed up to its fiber broadband offers, taking the total to 415,000.
LONDON (Reuters) - Vodafone reported another big quarterly drop in its main revenue measure, as weakness in South Africa and Spain offset stabilization elsewhere in Europe, and said a broader improvement is not expected until later in the year.
The world's second-biggest mobile operator is ramping up spending on new, faster 4G networks to satisfy customers' growing appetite for data.
HELSINKI (Reuters) - Nokia surprised investors with strong quarterly earnings and raised its full-year profit margin forecast as network operators install more powerful systems to cope with surging mobile data traffic.
The Finnish company sold its once-dominant phone business to Microsoft in April, leaving it more reliant on a mobile network equipment business that shrank by 8 percent in the April-to-June quarter.
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A recovery in Ericsson's <ERICb.ST> network equipment business pointed to strong results for the rest of the year, propelling its shares toward their biggest daily gain in more than three years.
In China, Ericsson is selling equipment for a massive rollout of fourth-generation mobile networks. In developed markets, it is benefiting from capacity upgrades as network operators cope with a surge in mobile data traffic.
Ericsson expects recent contract wins to boost revenue during the second half of the year.

The post Where to go during hurricane season? Curacao is the answer appeared first on The Wedding Specialists.]]>
The Caribbean is a favorite honeymoon destination, however, the hurricanes specific to this area raise a lot of doubt amongst the newlyweds that would like to go here, but are afraid of being stuck inside their hotel during their entire vacation. Being safe from the hurricane belt, Curacao has become one of the leading destinations of the area because it provides a little something to do for every honeymooner: from exciting exotic restaurants to beautiful landscapes and a chance to soak in the sun.
How to get there
Those of you looking to travel to Curacao by plane, need to book a flight to the Curacao Airport: Hato International Airport (CUR). The airport is located on the northern side of the island, close the capital named Willemstad. You can also take a cruise ship to the island. Such ships arrive either at the Curacao Cruise Terminal or at Curacao Mega Pier. The latter is generally reserved for larger cruise ships.

Where to stay
There are plenty of hotels available for all honeymooners that plan on travelling to Curacao. For example, the Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort, Curacao, provides everything from parking spaces to a gym. The Royal Sea Aquarium Resort is the perfect place for relaxation. You can book your spot in one of the suits with ocean view, to have a beautiful scenery straight from your hotel room.

What to do
Water activities are probably the number one attraction for all those visiting Curacao. In fact, if you are not a fan of water, this may not be the right honeymoon destination for you. This place has no less than 38 beaches, each one more beautiful than the last. Cas Abou Beach is one of the most beautiful places to visit and you can get there by cab or by renting a car. Playa Jeremi is also a local attraction because of its natural beauty. You can enjoy a wonderful snorkeling experience from either beach or dive to see some of the underwater wonder that lie below the sea level. Klein Curacao should also be on your sightseeing list. It's a volcanic rock islet, surrounded by beautiful white-sand beaches.
True nature lovers must visit the Christoffel National Park. This wildlife preserve stretches over 4.450 acres and is located at the west end of the island. For only $10 entrance fee, you get to admire desert and garden landscape and go on one of the various hiking trails. Mt. Christoffel is a 1.240-foot peak that you can also climb, the highest point on the island. Not a hiking fan? Enjoy a relaxing horse-back ride!

The post A Manifest for an Unplugged Wedding appeared first on The Wedding Specialists.]]>
Imagine this is your big wedding day. As you are driving to the church, your heart is filled with excitement. What will all those people think when they see you walking down the aisle? Will they think you're beautiful? How will they feel when they hear your wedding vows? So much excitement!
But as you turn up at the wedding ceremony, people are more preoccupied with seeing you through their lens – taking pictures of your dress, taking selfies with you and posting them on Instagram, filming you to post a new check-in on Facebook. Instead of seeing smiles and tears in people's eyes, you see a bunch of smartphones pointed at you, basically covering everyone's faces. And as you are standing at the altar, making a commitment to the person you most love in the world, people are not listening. Or they are half listening. You just know they're tweeting something instead of being 100% committed to the wedding reception. Oh, if only you had opted for an unplugged wedding…
Well, perhaps you can do something about it.
Before the wedding ceremony begins, or even before the wedding day itself, why not send out a note to everyone to turn down their cell phones and cameras? After all, you spend hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars on a good photographer to capture all these important moments. Cell phones are definitely not needed. But how you can you actually control an unplugged wedding to turn it into the day you have always dreamed of?
Well, talk to your closest friends, maybe your wedding planner or someone from the bridal party and ask them to make sure people are not using any gadgets during the ceremony. Of course, this needs to be done carefully as not to offend any of the guests. Something like "I'm sorry Sir, but the bride would love it if you could put away your cell phone and live this moment together with her" should do the trick.
Next, talk to your photographer and make sure he takes at least one picture of everyone attending the ceremony. All people truly want is to have something to remember this day by. Your photographer can then provide a selection of photos which he can post somewhere online for all your guests to see. This way, you can actually tell people "I really hope you guys can enjoy this moment with us. You really don't have to take any pictures. I promise that our photographer will remember to take beautiful shots of each and every one of you."

The post Europe's Leading Island Destination in 2014: Madeira appeared first on The Wedding Specialists.]]>

Back in 2013 and also in 2014, World Travel Awards has selected Madeira as the top "Europe's Leading Island Destination", becoming the center of attention of most honeymooners all over the world. But what makes Madeira so special?
[photo source]

What to visit
The natural resources and the flora and fauna of the island are its key attraction elements. The rocky cliffs that seem to dive into the sea, the green woods, the waterfalls, the volcano remains are just some examples of what makes Madeira such a beautiful and romantic place. ⅔ of its entire surface is actually a UNESCO heritage. It makes the perfect choice for honeymooners from all around the world, people that want to practice surfing, yachting, mountain bike rides, mountain climbing, deltaplan rides and many more.
If you are not into these activities, Madeira is also the perfect holiday resort. In the past few years, the hotel infrastructure has developed rapidly, so you can find a perfect vacant spot with services that suit your needs. You will also discover restaurant with international cuisine and get to experiment some of the tastiest dishes in the world. The high number of botanical garden will provide amazing strolls and relaxation for all those who love being in the middle of nature.

Companies that provide flights to Madeira for Europeans mostly are TAP Portugal, Air Berlin or Austrian Airline.

Weddings. What can be there the most exciting event to come in a life of a couple if not the event of getting married? Setting out for the most important day of your life is a step that wedding couple needs to take with at least 4 months previous to the established wedding day. This day is the more important as it marks the beginning of a new life that sets the single life in the hands of the past and sets the couple life in the hands of the future. For this day you, as a couple, need to settle first the wedding budget for after that to decide what is further to be done. Should you own enough amount of money to hire a wedding planner? You have to follow the directories and find out wedding planners access telephone, to fix an appointment and discuss about the detail that concerns you most: payment for wedding planner's services. Then you reach home and realize that actually your money is not enough to allow you hiring the single person in the world that could professionally help you in this matter.
So, you are aware of the fact that the decisions are up to you and these decisions have to be confined between the limits of a low budget. From this moment on, everything you plan has to stick to that amount you have available. Plenty of websites will help you find affordable ways to organize your wedding ceremony and although it requires a lot of time and research you need to stay put in order to be sure that everything you have written on the list isn't left aside.
You get hold first on the main things that are comprised in a wedding planning: the invitations, the gowns, the theme (if money allows you to choose such an option as selecting a theme that normally requires styles highly paid to match the theme), leaving aside the other elements that do not require emergency in solving. This is the case for the flowers; since you have decided to buy cheap flowers for your wedding you have to be sure that the flowers you choose count among the last elements to cover while planning your wedding and thus getting them fresh directly from the vendor 3-4 days before your wedding day. The closer the date of their delivery the fresher you will be sure that they will look on your special event.
Another element that you would like to keep at the bottom of your planning list is the inexpensive wedding cake. Of course that you will need meanwhile to decide which wedding cake you would like to order so you start AGAIN browsing the websites and find a bakery to order from. Next you'd have to call the baker and in case that the wedding cake you have found can suffer some personalized features you have to ask first what would be the cost when it comes to customize. If the cost is not too high you can choose to have the inexpensive wedding cake made according to your wishes and in this way to get the effect that you expect at the moments of cake entrance and cutting. If the costs are actually too unaffordable for you, than you need to find a cake recipe and start baking the cake by yourself, decorating it in your own style, thus getting what you wanted at a lower price.11

The post 1940's Wedding Dresses appeared first on The Wedding Specialists.]]>
The 20th Century Fashions during the 40s was predominantly influenced by the Big Band era; swing music reflected the way people dressed. But at the same time there was the influence of the World War II. The times revealed a certain difficulty in creation as shortages both economically and socially were present all over the place. Somehow the designers managed to combine style and practicality to reach the status of elegance and classy.
One can divide the 1940s fashion in two distinguished parts: during the war and after the war.
These distinctive styles are reflected also in the 1940s wedding dresses. In the first period, during the war the style of the dresses was simpler as clothing was rationed across the UK and US. That is why many brides of modest means chose to wear practical dresses. Homemade accessories and curly hairstyle allowed the brides to show their elegance without too much expense or waste. The grooms limited themselves to simply wear the uniform.
The second period with the war over and materials available again, the French couturiers, gained again suveranity in the fashion realm. Christian Dior was the promoter of the New Look, that featured a nipped waist, fuller skirts with plenty of fabric and a more classical feminine image. His New Look became more popular across the ocean where designers combined several elements in order to get the effects of elegance and stylish. Long sleeves with a point at the end -that made the hands look elongated and brought the wedding ring into attention-, emphasis on waist, often with a "V" shape, made of rayon and sometimes silk, these are few of the elements introduced in the New Look of 1940's wedding dresses.
Another element not less important is the usange of veil which in time became a trend in wearing it longer and richer reaching almost the fullness of a rich trail.
The 1940's bride's hairstyle is still actual and perfect for a formal wedding. The curly style confers a classical and elegant look underlining the features of the face in a delicate manner. Many elements of 1940's wedding dresses are preserved in nowadays wedding fashion. Designers take interest in creating new looks based on the "old looks" of the 40s.11

The post A simple guide for your wedding guest list appeared first on The Wedding Specialists.]]>
On the most special day of your life, you most likely want everyone to be present. But there are certain things that won't actually allow you to invite every person you can think of. You could be on a budget, the restaurant you chose could be too small, and you may have people you haven't spoken with in a long time. You have a colleague from work you wish you could invite, but he has quite a reputation for being obnoxious at parties. So how do you cut down that wedding guest list?
The first step is to consider if the venue you had in mind is more important than the guest list. If you have your heart set on a small restaurant or a place which can't support many people, you need to cut down your wedding guest list considerably. So, what's more important?
Next you have to make a list of the people that are important in your life right now. It's of no use to anyone if you invite a childhood friend that you haven't spoken with in 10 years. Weddings may be huge events, but they still need to be celebrated with the people that matter.
[photo source]
Then you have to consider who is paying for the wedding. You should find a way to make a guest list with 50% guests on behalf of the bride and the other 50% on behalf of the groom.
Another useful tip is to divide guests into categories, like relatives, close friends, co-workers, family friends etc. Then, agree to invite a specific number of people from each category.
You need to consider inviting the people that have also invited you to their own wedding. Even if you haven't attended, consider the following: did they invite you because they really cared about your presence or were you invited simply because they had a huge wedding and could afford to invite pretty much everyone they know? Based on that answer, think things through and determine if they should be there on your wedding day or not.
Each time you are considering to invite someone to your wedding, you have to carefully think about the fact that some people may bring another person with them. Some bring dates to a wedding, while families may be tempted to bring their children along. Be prepared for such possibilities when you're putting together your wedding guest list.
You can also rate people. While that might sound inhumane, it is actually an excellent way to determine if you should invite someone to your wedding or not. You can rank people with a system like:
A = I can't imagine my wedding day without them there.
B = They won't make or break the day, but if they are not there, they will be missed.
C = I probably won't miss them if they aren't there, but they will add to the fun of the day if they are.
You will be amazed to see how fast that wedding guest list is now shrinking.
And, as selfish as it may sound, don't invite people to your wedding out of pure obligation. Invite the people that you share important moments with, that are always there for you, that are fun to be around and can turn your wedding reception into a hell of a party.

The post Asking Friend To Do Flowers For Wedding appeared first on The Wedding Specialists.]]>
The wedding day was almost there. We had it planned till the smallest detail, but the flower element we have left it aside on purpose. Partly because we have decided to have them in their fresh shape, and partly because a friend of mine dealing with a florist business was out of town. Of course, there were other options we could have taken into account, since there are so many vendors in this department, all willing to help and advice on your wedding floral decorations. But I took my chances in asking my friend to do flowers for wedding, because I feel quite at my ease in her presence, and besides there is this long friendship that ties us in a way that makes us open ourselves to each other.
Frankly, it comforted me the most the thought of sharing my ideas to a good friend of mine, especially that she for some time into the florist business. And anyway, since this detail is better to be fixed closer to the wedding day we couldn't say that we were in such a hurry. So we waited till her arrival, five days prior to our wedding day and I approached her in this matter. I was surprised to see how many new things were there to know about the flowers meant for a wedding ceremony. My friend was well informed on this subject, since she had experience in assisting many weddings in this problem, so I let myself confidently into her hands.
She knew that I was a fan for roses and together we tried different approaches of these flowers regarding my bridal bouquet, the table decoration and the room decoration as well. As my wedding didn't have a specific theme, due to the small budget available, it was simpler to find variations both for the roses' color and their arrangements. She told me that for my classic wedding my choice for roses was the best because they symbolized innocence, love and passion, all these symbols being related, of course to the color. She has shown me some photos of her best floral arrangements and told me that if I had other ideas she was more than glad to listen to them.
The photos I have seen contained not merely roses, but combination of roses with other flowers or plants that took the ubiquitous aspect of roses out of the ordinary. After deciding on the combination of flowers she told me that I should better have a bouquet that complement the design of my wedding dress and we browsed again the photos that referred to the style of the bouquet and the length of it. The one we agreed upon was a small, stunning one that had a fresh and brilliant aspect. It was perfect for the moment when I was supposed to walk along the aisle.
Next step was the floral decorations meant to ornate the wedding reception table. We agreed on a combination of white and yellow roses and the style she chose fit exactly the width and the length of the table. I was very satisfied with her service and considering that all her assistance was also her gift for my wedding day, it turned out to be even better!11

The post Tracking tradition: Not Seeing Each Other Pre-Ceremony appeared first on The Wedding Specialists.]]>
Even when trying to organize a modern wedding, tradition is something that brides have to take into consideration. While some brides are more non-conventional, some still like to have several aspects of their wedding done the old and traditional way. Aside from having to wear something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue, probably the most common wedding tradition requires that the groom does not see the bride right before the wedding, in her wedding dress.
Back in the days when marriages were arranged, tradition didn't allow for the bride and groom to meet at all before the wedding. Yes, you could call it a blind wedding. The newlywed couple was more like a sign of agreement between 2 families carrying their own best interest at heart. The bride and groom were not allowed to meet because fathers of the brides were worried that if the grooms did not find their daughters attractive, that could make them call off the wedding. In fact, it is believed that the veil was used for the very same purpose: to hide the face of the bride for as long as possible.

Today, the brides that refuse to see their groom on the day of the wedding, until they meet at the altar, is not a habit carried out for the same reason as they did back in the old day. Brides believe that this makes the encounter more exciting and the wedding day becomes truly memorable.
Truth be told, not every religion carries out this habit. Christian-orthodoxies have a different way of doing thing. Right before heading to the church for the ceremony, the groom has to first stop by at the godparents' house and pick them up and then they all go over to the bride's house and that's the first moment of the day when the two shall meet. Some couples can't avoid seeing each other before the wedding because they live together and neither of them wants to book a room at a hotel on the night before the wedding.

The post Inspiration for Halloween Wedding Centerpieces appeared first on The Wedding Specialists.]]>
Halloween is just knocking at our door and we have a beautiful collection of centerpieces for all the brides planning to get married on the spookiest day of the year. Leaving all ghouls aside, are you ready to create a unique Halloween wedding setting?
[photo source]
If you're ready to recreate the creepy Halloween feeling, the situation definitely calls for spiders. Whether you scatter them around on the table or have them crawling over your table flowers, the effect is guaranteed!
[photo credit]
Since pumpkins are Halloween's ultimate mascot, who says they all have to be orange? You can dye your pumpkins in black and white for a more dramatic effect. Just make sure you choose pumpkins that are of the right size, you don't want them occupying the entire table. If you do opt for traditional pumpkins, how about going with some nice carvings?
[photo credit]
[photo credit]
We know that most brides will never give up the idea of having flowers on the their wedding tables. So just to save the Halloween spirit, how about opting for some flowers that are truly halloweenish? Black, maybe?
What if we replace the chocolate fountain with something just as delicious, but which resembles something like… blood…
[photo credit]
Candies on the tables? Sweets? Cupcakes? You can always opt for the creepiest of frosting, for candy shaped like spider or ghouls or something that tastes delicious, but looks pretty much alive…

In the spirit of a Halloween wedding, remember how ghouls come back to life? The summoning ritual generally revolves around lighting some candles. Oh, and speaking of candles…

FTC goes after bogus foreclosure rescue services
Published: February 5,2010
Tags: consumer protection, federal agency, housing, mortgage, real estate, scam
WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has moved to protect distressed homeowners from the promoters of bogus foreclosure rescue and mortgage modification services by proposing a new rule that would forbid companies to charge up-front for these services. Instead, companies could only collect payment after providing services.
According to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking announced today, historic levels of consumer debt, increased unemployment and an unprecedented downturn in the housing and mortgage markets have contributed to high rates of mortgage loan delinquency and foreclosure. This mortgage crisis has launched an industry of companies purporting, for a fee, to obtain mortgage loan modifications or other relief for consumers facing foreclosure. The FTC has brought 28 cases in this area, and state and federal law enforcement partners have brought hundreds more. Generally these cases charged that companies do not provide the services they promise and that they misrepresent their affiliation with the government and government housing assistance programs, including the Making Home Affordable Program.
The FTC notice seeks public input, particularly from attorneys and other professionals, on a proposed rule that would require mortgage relief companies to make good on their promised results before charging or accepting payment from consumers. Under the proposed rule, companies could not be paid until they had a documented offer from a mortgage lender or servicer that lives up to the promises they have made.
The proposed rule also would bar providers from telling consumers to stop communicating with their lenders or mortgage servicers, and from misleading them about key facts such as: the likelihood of getting the results they want, and how long it will take; their affiliation with public or private entities; payment and other existing mortgage obligations; and, refund and cancellation policies.
In addition, the proposed rule would require providers to tell consumers that they are for-profit businesses, the total amount consumers will have to pay, that neither the government nor the consumer's lender has approved their services, and that there is no guarantee that the lender will agree to change their loan.
The proposed rules would apply to for-profit companies that, in exchange for a fee, offer to work with lenders and servicers on behalf of consumers to modify the terms of mortgage loans or to take other steps to avoid foreclosure on those loans. The proposed rules generally exempt entities that own or service mortgage loans. Attorneys would have a limited exemption from the proposed advance fee ban if they represent consumers in a bankruptcy or other legal proceeding.

As Gas Tax Increase Looms, Highway Employees Party
Updated: Friday, August 2 2013, 09:22 PM EDT
As state leaders ponder raising the gas tax, Fox 45 has learned the agency which would spend the money shelled out thousands of taxpayer dollars for employees to attend a downtown conference.
The State Department of Transportation shelled out $60,000 last month for roughly 250 employees to attend a training conference at the Baltimore Hilton which included meals, an open bar party, and a Pinewood Derby competition.
State whistleblowers say the tab could be thousands of dollars higher if hotel stays and salaries are added.
The State Highway Administration, which sent dozens of employees to the conference, has been the subject of scathing audits. State investigators found waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars inside the agency.
Still, state leaders say more money is needed to fix ailing bridges and roads.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – The sale, application and disposal of waste from hydraulic fracturing, which includes radioactive materials, is now banned in Westchester County and punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 or imprisonment up to 30 days.
County legislators voted unanimously on the ban, which will send a message to natural gas extractors that Westchester will not be a "dumping site for this hazardous waste," said Legislator William Ryan (D-White Plains).
Hydraulic fracturing, called "fracking" by opponents of the drilling technique, is the process of extracting natural gas by injecting mass quantities of water mixed with sand and chemicals deep underground to create pressure to shatter rock layers. This requires a chemical that turns the fluid poisonous, Albert Appleton, former commissioner of the New York City Department of Environmental Preservation, has said.
Some local governments in the United States use waste from hydraulic fracturing to control ice and dust and maintain or construct roads.
"The toxins involved in hydrofracking waste, including radioactive materials, are among the most harmful known to humankind," said Legislator Catherine Borgia (D-Ossining). "We must be hyper-vigilant about keeping these toxins out of the water supply and off our roadways, and I'm very pleased that all of my colleagues on the board supported these protections."
The legislation, passed Monday, specifically prohibits disposing of the waste into the county's wastewater treatment and sewage facilities.
"This waste doesn't belong in our waste water treatment plants, and it certainly doesn't belong on the streets and roads that drain into our fragile drinking water supplies," Majority Leader Peter Harckham (D-Katonah) said in a statement.

Benghazi - Liar and Chief : Obama Fires 4 Star General for Refusing To 'Stand Down'Submitted by emalvini on Tue, 11/20/2012 - 22:08
Benghazi - Liar and Chief : Obama Fires 4 Star General for Refusing To 'Stand Down'

General Carter Ham relieved of duty as Commander of AFRICOM
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced on Sunday that General Carter Ham Commander of GOC Africa Command (Africom), headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany has been relieved of his assignment for refusing to obey orders not to assist the US personnel in Benghazi on the night of September 11. Army General David Rodriguez has been appointed by President Obama to replace him. U.S. Africa Command is one of six unified geographic commands within the Department of Defense unified command structure.
Gen. Ham refused to take responsibility for the decision not to provide essential air coverage and other support for the beleaguered personnel at the Consulate. After the information was leaked last week that three urgent requests for support were denied to the Americans trapped in the Consulate and the Annex, President Barack Obama said on Sunday, "The minute I found out what was going on, I gave three very clear directives – Number 1, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to." According to the highly decorated, four-star General, Carter Ham, the President is lying.
The Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, another official, and two CIA assets and former NAVY SEALS disregarded repeated orders to stand down, and rescued several people from the burning Consulate under heavy fire. They requested assistance at least three times and were summarily denied each time. They had AQ mortars painted with laser pointers and requested a C130 attack on the target or a missile strike with a F-22 or F-35. They had laid the groundwork for a military response that would create minimum collateral damage. In return for their heroism, their urgent requests were denied and they died defending America.
On Saturday, October 27, Panetta confirmed that General Ham had been relieved of his assignment.

Re Benghazi ~ Gimme Some Truth
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.
~ John Muir
I think all the Generals & Admirals are falling by the wayside
because Obama found out about the mutiny---or thought there was a plan of mutiny.
Look up Kay Griggs
There are two different kinds of military officers...the insiders and the real ones...good luck figurin' which is which.

Dylan Farrow vs. Woody Allen: Who Do You Believe?by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
For a scandal in which there are no legal consequences, now or ever, the Dylan Farrow-Woody Allen saga is dominating headlines this month.
Farrow, 28, was jointly adopted by Allen, 78, and former partner Mia Farrow, 69. She says Allen molested her in the early '90s, when she was 7.
Allen denied the allegations then, but they resurfaced this winter after Farrow penned open letter to the N.Y. Times recounting her father's molestation of her.
The famed director has reiterated his denials, blaming Mia for coaching Dylan, making up untrue stories and fostering a lingering resentment of him.
Dylan immediately countered that Woody Allen is a child molester and he can say whatever he wants, but the truth is on her side and she won't be silenced.
Which seems to be her endgame. Allen wasn't prosecuted in 1992, though Farrow claims there was probable cause, and he will not be in 2014.
The widespread acclaim of Blue Jasmine and his iconic career in general seems to be the impetus for Dylan, who feels her story mustn't be forgotten.
Who to believe? We'll likely never know for sure, as both sides are adamant and unyielding in their positions in this decades-long blame game.
Hit the comments below to share your opinion at length, and vote in our poll: Who do you think is telling the truth, Dylan Farrow or Woody Allen?
I'm not a fan of this guy at all... I did note that he passed a lie detector test in the period of time this accusation took place, and his challenge to Mia Farrow to also take the test was refused by Mia. Whatever one may think of Allen, Farrow is not entitled to any halos.
Woody Allen has no credibility with me based on his history.
This is a difficult one because how can we decide who we believe, when we don't actually know the truth? It would help if the girl had nothing to gain in all of this, but unsurprisingly, she's calling herself "an actress." So that's where it gets difficult to believe her story. If she just came out, told her story and wasn't playing the fame game it would be a little more believable.
I have doubts about the mentality or perversion of Soon Yi. She grew up w/farrow as her mom. She slept w/her mothers man, her father. It's not like he's to handsome to resist. Knowing what he is, she adopted 2 little girls. How perverted is she. He might have married her to keep her mouth shut about what really went on between them.
Good point.
Vanity Fair stated several known facts about the case that are not disputable and one of them is the fact that Woody, prior to Mia tossing him out for taking those nude pictures of Soon-yi, had been in therapy to address his weird obsession with Dylan. Knowing that, you would pretty much have to have that disturbing Hollywood mindset, that overlooks any sort of deviancy if you are part of the A-list crowd.
I just got paid $7500 working off my computer this month. And if you think that's cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $8k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do, >>>>>>>> YELLWORK.ℭOℳ
I can't say or believe what I don't know, my mum says it is pointless... But I love u kourt kardashian you are really a grown and wise woman am happy 4 ur success...
Why would she lie? And, her mother's age is 69 (as much as you want to not admit you know about the perverted number, you do and have been on the internet) so it wouldn't be odd she'd marry a pedophile. YOU KNOW WHAT, WOODY POODY? I NEVER WATCHED ANY OF YOUR MOVIES! I HATE YOU! YOU ARE F LIST!
What's in it for Dylan to lie? Nothing. Even though he may not have molested his long time lovers daughter, he is at the very least, an immoral fuck, to marry her. This pervert destroyed so many kids lives with his fantasies, that he should go straight to hell. I don't give a damn how "talented" he may be. I have not spent one dime to see his movies and NEVER will! There are too many other talents to watch. What the hell is wrong with Hollywood? What a morally corrupt society. That they constantly look the other way for these freaks is dispicable. What a bunch of hypocrites. Oh, and another thing....we really don't need to see your gross love fest of the awards "season".....every weekend. Ego season is more like it. Diane Keaton singing "Make New Friends" had me running to throw up.
There's no possible way for me or anyone commenting to actually know what happened on August 4th 1992, however I'm a firm believer in innocent until proven guilty. On the other hand if it is shown that Dylan's story is what happened, I will be the first one to come out and say that I was wrong and that Allen should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

THURSDAY, July 26 (HealthDay News) -- Compared with periprostatic nerve block (PNB), pelvic plexus block (PPB), performed under Doppler ultrasound guidance, provides better pain relief for men during office-based transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, according to research published in the August issue of The Journal of Urology.
Francesco Cantiello, M.D., of Magna Graecia University of Catanzaro in Italy, and colleagues conducted a single-center, prospective study involving 180 patients who were randomized to receive intrarectal local anesthesia plus either PPB or PNB prior to undergoing office-based transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. Local anesthesia consisted of lidocaine 1.5 percent plus nifedipine 0.3 percent cream. PPB consisted of 2.5 mL lidocaine 1 percent plus naropine 0.75 percent injected on each side of the pelvic neurovascular plexus lateral to the seminal vesicle tip. Periprostatic nerve block consisted of the same mixture but was injected on each side of the neurovascular bundles at the prostate-bladder-seminal vesicle. Patients rated the level of pain/discomfort after the procedure.
The researchers found that there was no difference in pain perception noted by patients during probe introduction or administration of either the PPB or PNB. However, during the biopsy, pain was statistically significantly lower for patients who received the PPB, and this trend continued until 30 minutes following biopsy completion. No major complications were experienced.
"In conclusion, PPB under Doppler ultrasound guidance provides better analgesia than PNB during office-based transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy," the authors write.

Okay, I just purchased this at the mall (and got ripped off compared to how much cheaper it is online), and I'm 50/50. It smells GORGEOUS in my opinion, but it's very intense and definitely not for the faint-of-heart. After about 2 hours I started getting a head ache, so I took a shower. I can STILL smell it on my wrists. If you're looking for longevity, this stuff delivers! But just be warned, it's pretty strong. One spritz is plenty.
I am already on my 2nd botte of this! I love this. I was told this my signature scent. I love that sweet smell! Sometimes it can be a bit too much but those are usually the days that I want to wear a different scent. I've gotten SO many compliments when I wear this!
When i first smelled this i loved it, but after wearing it for a while its really annoyingly strong/ chemically smell. Ugh i'll still wear it, but its definetely not the best. The original is 10 million times better! <3 oh and the packaging SUCKS for the mini one....
I just don't get it. This is the most horrible perfume I've ever wasted my money on. I purchased from Macy's based on the reviews on here that it smelt sweet like candy, but it smelt like bug spray or something to me. The first perfume in a long time that I just hate. The bottle was pretty boreing too. I threw my bottle away after wearing it just one time because it made me sick. I wouldn't recommend this one to anyone who likes to smell good.
i think this smells good. it's sweet like cotton candy, and is comparable to jessica simpson's fragrance, fancy! i would buy again.

wow wow wow!!! i really love this fruity smell. This is really adorable..i feel so great and sexy when i,m wearing this. And seriously i get so many compliments too, when i,m wearing this fragrance. SERIOUSLY!!! And i love this bottle too, because it,s so simple and simplicity is always beautiful. I have had so many perfumes with a super shiny and a colorful bottle, but inside of this bottle is a really bad fragrance. So, for those who want a shiny and a colorful bottle, then it,s not for you. Anyways I simply like how simple and cute it is and it,s not about a bottle anyway:D:D:D:D I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PERFUME TO EVERYONE WHO LIKE SWEET AND JUICY PERFUMES. IT WORKS WELL AND STAYS ON LOOOONG!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the most disgusting, repulsive, saccharine-sweet, synthetic-scented, chemical-laden, olfactorally-offensive excuse for a perfume. Every time my sister puts it on, something inside my nose dies a little. Does anybody expect this to be a classy fragrance coming from Paris Hilton? It is completely cheap, vile, and vulgar.
On initial smell of this I LOVED it and thought it could beat out the original Paris perfume. However, it really is a bit too sweet. Don't get me wrong I still love it but if it had musk or citrus to it, it would really be more of an all-rounder. I still think this is a unique and wonderful scent but the original is my HG and i'm sticking to it. I would still buy another for a change of pace though.
I got this in a swap and I was really excited to try it. However, on me it was FAR too sweet... It kind of gave me a stomach ache! I prefer Just Me and Paris over this... Something about Can-Can just doesn't flow with me
I just don't get it. This stuff is terrible! I've read so many reviews and heard so many people saying how candy-like and sweet this smells .. But no, not on me - or TO me! To me this smells like cheap chemicals, and ON me the same way. Terrible, terrible, terrible. I would definitely not buy this again, and I can't imagine I'll ever use up the bottle (since I'm never gonna wear it). What a waste of money!
