When more alkaline, the cervical fluid will be more conducive for the sperm that carry the Y chromosomes that are needed to fuse with the eggs to conceive a baby boy. The midwives of olden times emphasized the ability of the diet to affect the gender of the baby. These sayings have recently received scientific backing after a study was conducted in 2008 by a team of researchers headed by Dr. Fiona Mathews of Exeter University.

Hostel Posty BremenBremen, Germany
The hostel was great for what we needed (a couple of nights). The staff were very polite and helpful but it did lack in atmosphere, we were lucky we were in a group. Was very clean and comfortable. The BEST (disco) shower!
Samesun Venice BeachLos Angeles, USA
I on,y stayed one night but will definitely return if I go back to Venice. The location is perfect, the 4 bed female dorm I stayed in was very clean, comfy beds, great wireless and a great common area that looks out over the beach.
Green Tortoise BackpackersSan Francisco, USA
This hostel was brilliant. I stayed 3 nights and really have no complaints. Fantastic atmosphere at night so if you are a solo traveler (which I was) then it's perfect, lots of well organised events, activities and dinners. Well worth the money with the free breakfast (fruit and bagels!) and free dinners 3 times a week :)

Kuoni to debut first TV work in post-Christmas 'occasions' push
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 17 December 2012 09:33AM
Kuoni, the luxury tour operator, is launching its first ever TV campaign on Boxing Day, to encourage people to celebrate on holidays abroad.
The campaign, created by Brighton-based agency Designate, will run until 9 January, with media buying handled by MediaEdge CIA.
Two 30-second creatives will air. The first features a couple on their honeymoon in the Maldives, while the second encourages people to celebrate special occasions, such as birthdays, abroad.
Kuoni, which has traditionally used direct mail, press, email, digital, retail and trade marketing activity, said it is one of the largest travel brands to not currently use TV.
A spokesperson for Kuoni described TV as the "best medium to convey the emotion of taking holidays around special occasions" and said the company hopes to capitalise on the brand's growing awareness among consumers as it expands its retail network.
Kuoni has opened 20 new shops on the high street in the past four years. In May the tour operator partnered with John Lewis to launch the first "shop within a shop", which offered Kuoni's services as a concession within the retailer's department stores.
Derek Jones, managing director, Kuoni, said: "Time away with our loved ones is so precious, to many it could be the true meaning of luxury and for others it's the stuff family memories are made from.
"Television helps us to portray those heart-stirring emotions we feel when in an amazing location overseas, be it celebrating the start of married life together or any special occasion in your life. We can't wait for audiences up and down the country to tune in and be moved to travel."Follow @loullamae_es

"A quick, easy and yummy lunch or snack!!"
Serving Size: 1 (332 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"Juicy, tangy and sweet - winner. Sausages were very juicy from the roasting, better than frying. We used thick pork sausages, no Cumberland at our butcher! The boys of the house turned their noses up at the onion but I thought it was divine. Served with salad for a lovely quick dinner."
"We thought this was a very nice combination of flavors. Loved the honey over the sausages. I didn't have the demerara sugar so used a little brown sugar and that worked well for us. Thanks for sharing Noo. Made for PRMR :)"
"We really enjoyed these. The type of sausages you use will really make a difference- go for big flavour! I added a little more sugar with the onions- I like them sweet! Such a simple recipe and yet so yummy! Thanks again for yet another great Noo recipe!! Made for 123 Hit Wonders."
"WOW! :) Totally delicious and so little preparation. This recipe is so worth the forward planning ahead for those nights when you know you are going to be arriving home tired, and would also be very easy to cook for an informal meal for a crowd. I used beef sausages and shall be trying this with other sausages on future occasions. Just l-o-v-e-d the honey drizzled over the sausages: such a simple concept for such brilliantly yummy results. And the caramelised onions - to which I just couldn't resist adding some minced garlic - were the perfect accompaniment. These would be great served in baguettes but, on this occasion, we enjoyed these with ~Rita~'s Recipe #159836. Thanks for sharing yet another super recipe, Noo! made for Newest Zaar Tag."

A LOT of work to do, you have to real read the Directions very will, as have to do it over to get right. It is one for the PRO. to do to get it right way. I did it for the fun to see if I can. I loved the ricotta filling, but I added a small amount of vanilla, 1 teaspoon. And By the way, trying to make this by yourself would be a nightmare. You need an assembly line... people will work for food! I call this the Italian version of the Tamale because the whole family has to help in this process. My Pastry baking skills to me are way below the standard. But thank You for the fun we had over the days. Itis a keeper. PRMR 2013....Grpaperson found this review Helpful.

These turned out really tasty, though I admit to not going through all of the waiting time.. I mean geez I was 9 months preggers when I made these, I couldn't wait. I halved the recipe, used butter instead of crisco and doubled the amount of chocolate. I drained the ricotta for about 4 hours and didn't let the cannoli shells rest overnight. Also I totally must have botched the cannoli shells because they came out too hard. This may be because instead of cannoli metal rings, I tried to use my rolling pin, and later the end of my metal whisk (which worked better) for shaping the cannoli shells. Because my shells were so hard, I went ahead and stuffed them all with the ricotta mixture and by the next day the cannolis were pretty perfect. The ricotta a bit more firm and the cannoli shells a bit softer. I'll definitely try this again and try to do it right next time. Thanks for posting this extensive and awesome recipe. It was perfect for satisfying that cannoli craving I had in the last weeks of my pregnancy.person found this review Helpful. You can only vote others' reviews helpful or not helpful...

|Massa Stays In Ferrari
| Maranello, 16 October - Scuderia Ferrari announces that it has renewed its contract with the driver Felipe Massa to the end of the 2013 race season.
The Scuderia's driver line-up for next year is therefore made up of Fernando Alonso and the aforementioned Felipe Massa.
The announcement should have been made next week, but then the two parties involved decided it was time to take the bull by the horns (no pun intended) and do it now: Felipe Massa will stay at Ferrari, at least until the end of 2013.

Impressive museum with great mosaics. A nice building which is operated nicely. Staff is helpful and it is very close to city center.
A must in Gaziantep. This museum hosts one of the largest collections of mosaics in the world. Very impressive.
There are museums and then there's Zeugma Mosaic Museum. The museography is fantastic. The information is well delivered, well organized and clear even for non museum or antique art enthusiasts. A must for every visitor to Gaziantep or even those visiting eastern Turkey.
Extensive collection of amazing mosaics attractively displayed. In many case the explanations (English and Turkish) give captivating back stories for specific mosaics. Even if you're museum-weary, you should seek out this museum across the railroad tracks.
Amazing museum - certainly one of the really high spots of my whole tour of Turkey. Please don't think that this is just "another boring museum" - it's not. Could have spent hours there. Incredible mosaics, beautifully displayed.

This museum not only has an extraordinary collection of mosaics, it displays them in a way that one can imagine looking at them rooms of Roman villas in the 2nd and 3rd centuries.

This was one of the best museums I've been so far. Well at least one of my favorites. Mosaics are beautiful.

Unless you absolutely have a need to watch the same recorded program in another room or absolutely need to record more than a couple of programs at once on the same DVR stay away from Optimum's multi-room (DVR+). IT BLOWS!!!!I'm sure there are some Optimum lemmings that will speak of how great it is and how great it works for them, but don't believe them. I complain quite often to Optimum about problems I'm having and they tell me that my complaints are common complaints that they are "working to resolve" with the system.I was also told by the sales guy (should have known better than to believe his crap) that the package I was getting would give me the same thing I had with FiOS. NOT TRUE! In fact, pretty much nothing he told me was true with the exception that my bill would be less than FiOS. Well, that part was true, but once I found out what I had to do to truly get the same package as FiOS it's going to cost me the same, maybe slightly more for Optimum.Sales guy told me that Optimum bandwidth is no longer shared. Yea, right. Told me the picture quality was as good as FiOS. Yea, right. Told me a lot of things. And, of course he was no where to be found after the install. Was more than eager to call back and respond to my emails before the Optimum truck left my driveway.It's really a shame that Optimum didn't do better with DVR+ because it's a great idea that has been poorly implemented. I don't mind a system that has flaws that are being worked out as long as I'm not paying the same as I would for a system that has far fewer flaws.Oh, and don't forget that you can't rewind live programming with DVR+, which is one of the biggest problems of all. I've heard there is a legal reason behind it. Yea, whatever.
I'm sure there are some Optimum lemmings that will speak of how great it is and how great it works for them, but don't believe them

Please click HERE for complete time, date and location information for the 2010 Santa Fe Ski Swap and Ski Movie.
In celebration of our upcoming anniversary, my wife and I visited Rocky Mountain National Park this fall. We love camping and neither of us had seen this great example of accessible wildness. Our trip turned out to be much more educational and exciting than expected. We had close encounters with wildlife, a tour of a lodgepole forest ravaged by pine beetles and a brush with wildfire all while surrounded by a gorgeous landscape.
Are you ready for the start of ski season? Stock up on excitement and gear over the next two weekends in Santa Fe. Watch 'In Deep' Nov. 6th and 'Flakes' on Nov. 15 at the Jean Cocteau Theater for deep powder fun and big mountain thrills. Pick up new boots, boards and bindings, clothes and assorted snow sports gear at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center during the Santa Fe Ski Team Swap from Nov. 13 through 15. Read below for dates, times and locations and mark your calendar for some pre-season stimulation. Until then, Think Snow!
What: Tony Forrest Telemark Workshop
When: January 31 and Feb 1, 2009
Where: Ski Santa Fe
This amazing Telemark Workshop is now in its 22nd year. We hope you will come and join Tony Forrest and a host of other fantastic instructors to learn the latest in telemark technique. New tele skiers are welcome, however the workshop is not for someone who has never skied downhill (alpine or tele) before.
The Tony Forrest Telemark Workshop includes four hours of lessons each day.
Class: Saturday and Sunday, January 31 and Feb 1, 2009
Time: 10 am - 3pm
Adventurers in the 1800's saw the Arctic and Antarctic as remote and harsh, though beautiful places. The South and North Poles were the furthest frontiers of the day and were sought by scores of early explorers. Among those early explorers were artists who preserved the rugged beauty of the poles. Fortunately, we have their images as an artistic record from the days before Climate Change.

Dec 18, 2011A vast improvement and by far the closest recreation of the PC version on handheld. [Christmas 2011, p.79]
Nov 14, 2011I think the biggest compliment I can give this game is that I have a hard time putting it down. It does a great job of adapting the PC formula to the 3DS hardware, and it's just as addictive as it ever was. If you're a fan of the PC game, this is a great way to take it on the go.
Oct 18, 2011On the 3DS, The Sims 3: Pets has some improvements over the original. The biggest one: the 2D-map was replaced by a wish and craving list – a pretty cool improvment. An of course, you can now play cats and dogs and customize them in many ways. There are still some weak points like the controls or the three Sims cap, but all in all, it's a nice game on the 3DS.
Nov 8, 2011If you've ever played a Sims game, you should feel right at home with The Sims 3 Pets--you create and manipulate a group of Sims, this time with cats and dogs included. [Nov 2011, p.85]
Nov 23, 2011While EA released its predecessor only half-baked, it's come through with The Sims 3 Pets and created a quality life simulator that's still mystifyingly amusing and addictive, now with the added cuteness of playing as dogs and cats, though it might not grab you like it did ten years ago.

Dec 30, 2011Sim 3 Pets has turnned out to be quite a enjoyable game! and very addictive one! that i find hard put down.
its huge improvement over first one and now it has pets it make's experience more cooler!
To create a sim is easy and designing your own type dog or cat is really easy with wealth option play with.
There are quite few breeds of dog and cat to pick from! but sadly NO horses which are only present in console versions.
However in back of the book it mentions about DLC which the way Nintendo are talking we mite see some sort of an update or extra content in future (fingers crossed)
Game-play is fun and addictive as ever and creating your own house and buying stuff to fill it is great fun. Ive spent countless hours designing my perfect home and building relationships with other sims:) Only one real problem is there are no children in game? But there are puppies and kittens which is plus i guest.
and there is sum slowdown that only seem happen when your in dog park which is odd?
But apart from that game looks pretty good
The way the sim's speak to each other is funny as ever! and how they interacted with environment around them.
and graphics and animation are nice smooth to,
while 3D doesn't add much does give it nice sense of depth!
this is must have portable sim's game for 3DS:) and with sales on i got it for £19 which is bargain:D… Expand
Sep 11, 2014A fun game and something that feels almost like the full experience on the go, but with the amount of bugs and some of the missing features, it does feel a bit baron and typical EA. However for what it does it's not bad and you're at least getting a better experience than The Sims 3 launch title.
Also here's an interesting thing, same sex romance and woohoo, which was missing in previous hand held Nintendo Sims titles is an option in this game.… Expand

INDIANAPOLIS – A move to allow guns in school parking lots drew testy exchanges Monday between citizens opposing the bill and Republican lawmakers defending it.
The meeting got so heated that one Democratic legislator called it bullying.
I think the behavior of some of the committee members was a little over the top, said Rep. Terri Austin, D-Anderson. They were disrespectful to those expressing concerns. Bullying doesn't just occur in schools.
But Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour – one of the more vocal members – said he was just refuting misinformation.
We have to make sure people have the facts, he said. It's imperative that we respect the rights of the individual.
The meeting was the first to hash out differences on Senate Bill 229.
No final compromises were reached.
The legislation originally dealt with law enforcement gun buyback programs. But the House added language that would allow Hoosiers with firearm permits to have a gun in their locked vehicle parked at a school if it is out of sight.
Under current law, it is a felony to have a gun on any school property. It still would be a felony to take a firearm into a school.
Supporters contend people – such as teachers and parents – deserve the right to self-protection that having a gun affords when driving to and from school.
And Sen. Jim Tomes, R-Wadesville, kept saying the bill was about protecting legitimate, proper citizens – not criminals.
Rep. Linda Lawson, D-Hammond, who was a police officer for decades, took exception to the notion that no one with a carry permit can be irrational or have a problem with anger or rage.
A coalition of groups against that provision has grown in recent weeks, including a number of school organizations and children's groups.
Having guns on school property that are very accessible adds potential for what may occur, said Todd Bess, executive director of the Indiana Association of School Principals.
And Stephen Dunlop, of Hoosiers Concerned About Gun Violence, said, There are certain areas where it is simply inappropriate to bring a gun. He noted people aren't allowed to bring guns to courthouses or even to the Statehouse.
It got especially heated when Zionsville mother Shannon Watts, of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, testified.
For every statistic she used, Lucas countered from a book he carried. For every statement she made on mass shootings, another lawmaker would rebut it.
Lucas even pointed out Watts' maiden name and read a list of her previous jobs to point out her expertise in media and marketing.
And Rep. Jud McMillin, R-Brookville, called Watts disingenuous for supporting background checks and other gun regulations but claiming to be a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.
A representative from the National Rifle Association spoke in support of the bill but no private citizens did.

Clearing the air around e-cigarette facts and fictionJune 15,2014Parents have been lighting up with questions about e-cigarettes and whether they are really a safe alternative to regular cigarette smoking. Let me take a deep breath and cough out some information on this topic.
E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices designed to look and feel like regular cigarettes. E-cigarettes contain cartridges filled with a liquid that contains nicotine, as well as other chemicals that may be cancer-causing, and thus have the same addictive potential as a real cigarette.
In fact, some e-cigarettes can have as much nicotine as a whole pack of cigarettes. The heating device in the e-cigarette converts the liquid in the cartridge into vapor, which the user inhales. The process is referred to not as smoking but as vaping.
Nicotine through vaping can get into the bloodstream via the lungs and in turn can affect the brain, nervous system and heart. It can raise blood pressure and heart rate, and the higher the dose of nicotine, the higher the blood pressure and heart rate. This can result in abnormal heart rhythms, which could even cause heart failure and death.
Use of e-cigarettes has doubled, with one in 10 high school students recently reporting having tried an e-cigarette. These are not regulated by the FDA and thus do not have to follow the same rules as other regulated nicotine products, which makes their purchase easier for children and teens, especially online.
Thus the name of the game is to educate your children and teens about these devices so they do not use them, let alone become addicted. If you or your teen smokes and wants to use e-cigarettes to quit, remind him or her that this is not a great idea, since e-cigarettes mimic smoking too closely to change the smoking behavior. You and your child are better off trying nicotine gum or a patch to prevent nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
Of course, if you do smoke or vape, your kids may want to do it as well. So consider quitting smoking or not vaping for their health as well as for your own.
Hopefully tips like these will smoke out what you need to know when it comes to discouraging the use of e-cigarettes just as much as regular ones by your teens and you.

Justice Integrity Project
JFK, Nov. 22 and the Continuing Cover-Up
The fifty-first anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination on Nov. 22 underscored a threat that the murder has intimidated JFK successors in both parties.
New historical books and ongoing headlines on current affairs paint a grim portrait of an unpunished assassination by a cabal so powerful that its successors decisively influenced the Johnson, Nixon and Ford presidencies and, arguably, Washington policymaking as recent as this month.
Meanwhile, a complacent mainstream media and academic community gloss over key facts pointing to a CIA-implemented coup d'etat against JFK likely involving as CIA-orchestrated Cuban exiles, Mafia and selected other government personnel or assets, including Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby.
The larger import? The JFK murder anniversary shows that the cover-up hurts public confidence in government. Whatever the actual facts behind the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, for example, the obvious irregularities in the JFK murder probe create understandable distrust about other investigations and policies extending to present times.
The cover-up's impact on current policy is illustrated by many current news items, domestic and foreign. Among them besides the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson are: the Nov. 21 House report denying irregularities in the 2012 Benghazi massacre; repeated threats to presidential security; the Obama administration's reluctance to release a Senate report on CIA misconduct; and a Nov. 15 report the U.S. states is planning to ramp up CIA paramilitary activities in Syria and Iraq.
Today's column begins a two-part examination of the CIA's unaccountable power over decades. The topic comprises the twentieth installment of the Justice Integrity Project's "JFK Assassination Readers Guide," whose previous segments are listed below.
The JFK Murder Cover-up Still Matters -- As Does C-SPAN's Coverage
Why does the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy remain important?
That was the question I posed to help open this year's major conference about the 50th anniversary of the murder investigation's findings. C-SPAN's American History TV cablecast my talk this month, along with other event lectures linked below.
My answer to the question:
Our major institutions and their leaders, to their shame, still support the murder investigation's official findings in the Warren Commission report issued in the fall of 1964.
Yet that report stands discredited. Revelations by courageous witnesses and four million pages of once-secret documents are now summarized in two thousand books and many prominent documentaries and news columns. Inspired in part by the dramatized version in Oliver Stone's JFK, the general public has moved from acceptance of the official findings, to questions, and now to legitimate disbelief. Gallup Polls have shown well over 70 percent in the public do not believe the key Warren Commission findings about accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. One of most recent and through polls in late 2013 showed public disbelief by a 2:1 margin.
That result regarding the crime of the century taints our current government and watchdog institutions.
Congress, for example, has failed to enforce its own JFK Act of 1992, which required that all relevant documents be declassified. The CIA and National Archives are withholding documents, supposedly until 2017. But no guarantee exists that documents would be released even then.
Most news outlets have stubbornly failed to pursue logical follow-up investigations probing the suspects and their institutions.
These failures inspire cynicism, apathy, fear or greed in ways that undermine democracy and sound public policies. The economy, elections, law enforcement, war and taxes are each affected by the cover-up, as readily shown by serious researchers.
That was the gist of my remarks helping open a research conference about the 50th anniversary of the Warren Commission report. The commission led by Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren pinned the murder's blame exclusively on Oswald as a lone gunman who fired at the presidential motorcade from the rear.
Rare among mainstream news organizations, C-SPAN has covered recent developments in-depth. C-SPAN, for example, this month cablecast my remarks and those of more than a half-dozen other speakers at the conference organized by the Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC), a non-partisan non-profit founded in 1984. A photo above shows the opening.
The C-SPAN videos are below, along with links to 18 previous segments in our Justice Integrity Project "Readers Guide to the JFK Assassination." Our guide lists the most significant research materials in books, videos, documents, reports, events and research archives. The catalogs display substantial work regardless of viewpoint, and thus includes that of the Warren Commission and such defenders as Vincent Bugliosi, Howard Willens, Philip Shenon, James Swanson, and Gerald Posner during recent years. Included also are works by such authors as Fletcher Prouty, James Douglass, Jerome Corsi and Roger Stone alleging murder cover-up conspiracy reaching the highest levels both parties and agencies.
Other columns by our Project offer interpretation and extensive sourcing. My own recent book, Presidential Puppetry: Obama, Romney and Their Masters, documents that high-level elected officials are often groomed by intelligence and law enforcement agencies before entering politics, and thus know and fear their power more than the average citizen.
In a similar serious manner, AARC organized its event around the theme: "The Warren Report and the JFK Assassination: A Half Century of Significant Disclosures."
Nearly 50 speakers and more than 200 attendees convened at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda, MD from Sept. 26-28, 2014. Following editing, C-SPAN has begun cablecasting highlights during recent Sundays, with materials archived for view on demand for free as part of the cable industry-funded network's ongoing public service.
The speakers at the AARC conference drew on their expertise in such varied fields as military intelligence, national security, history, medicine, and acoustical engineering.
These experts, most with decades of research experience and advanced degrees, cited evidence that the Warren report could not have been correct in casting all blame on Oswald because, among many other reasons, Kennedy was killed by a shot from the front.
Speakers focused heavily on motives for killers and their oft-unwitting accomplices. As a result, major security lapses occurred at the crucial time and place in Dallas, with no Secret Service, city or county police deployed in the killing zone of downtown Dealey Plaza.
Kennedy's approximate location at his death is shown on Elm Street in Dealey Plaza with an "X" in my photo last fall. Oswald's alleged "sniper's nest" described by the Warren Commission was near the top of the Texas Book Depository at JFK's rear.
But the book building's sixth floor was nearly three times the distance from the "X" as the picket fence visible on the so-called Grassy Knoll. Most witnesses identified the knoll or fence area as a source of gunfire -- evidence the commission ignored or simply dismissed as "not credible" for the most part.
The commission led by Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren ostensibly conducted a thorough and unbiased investigation. Revelations since then have indicated its major purpose from the outset was to blame Oswald with merely a superficial look at contrary evidence and additional suspects.
Neglected on purpose, we now know, were investigative leads linking Oswald to military intelligence, the CIA, the FBI, organized crime and Cuban exiles in web that potentially led to the highest levels of government involving both parties and important private sector supporters.
Space does not permit treatment right here of those allegations and their evidence. This column's main focus is to recap why our Project's ongoing investigations of current corruption in Washington leads directly back to the JFK killing and its aftermath as a turning point in the nation's history.
Former House JFK Murder Prober Alleges CIA 'Lied,' Seeks Hidden Records
Did the CIA try to thwart the nation's last investigation of President Kennedy's assassination?
"The CIA not only lied, it actively subverted the investigation," says G. Robert Blakey, the former general counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), which issued its report in 1979.
"It is time that either Congress or the Justice Department conducts a real investigation of the CIA," Blakey said at a conference last month. "Indeed, in my opinion, it is long past time."
Blakey, shown at left, urged the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to comply promptly with a federal law unanimously passed by congress in 1992 requiring release of JFK records.
Archives leadership refuses to release the documents until 2017 without CIA or presidential approval. The CIA has said it lacks the personnel to process the documents sooner in ways that protect national security.
But at what point does refusal to cooperate with a murder investigation signify a broken system?
As part of our ongoing Justice Integrity Project Readers Guide to the JFK murder, today's column examines Blakey's allegations. They exemplify the intelligence community's ongoing resistance to congressional oversight. A future column here will examine evidence that accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald had secret working relationships with the CIA and FBI.
Today, we focus on the late CIA officer George Joannides, at right, the agency's liaison to Blakey's congressional staff as they reexamined the validity of the 1964 Warren Commission report on JFK's murder.
Blakey's written statement here attacked Joannides for obstructing the congressional probe under the pretense of help. Blakey announced his views Sept. 26, 2014 at a three-day conference in Bethesda, MD organized by the non-profit Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC).
The AARC conference title was "The Warren Report and the JFK Assassination: Five Decades of Significant Disclosures." Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren had led the seven-member commission, which included former CIA Director Allen Dulles among its membership of high-ranking federal officials and former officials.
The commission announced that Lee Harvey Oswald, 24, had acted alone in killing Kennedy with three shots from behind.
Blakey and two fellow congressional researchers, Edwin Lopez and Dan Hardway, said at the AARC conference they will seek missing CIA records about JFK later this fall — unless the Archives complies with their recent request.
JFK Readers Guide: Assassination Books, Reports
The Justice Integrity Project announced a Readers Guide to illustrate the full range of books about President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963 without censorship.
The guide is being continuously updated, with special attention to the unique historical event of the 50th anniversary of the Warren Commission published in the fall of 1964.
The Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC) convened a major conference on the Warren Commission anniversary from Sept. 26 to 28, 2014 at the Bethesda Hyatt Regency Hotel. This editor spoke at the conference during three segments, including opening comments on the continuing importance of the JFK murder in understanding current events. The talks drew on my book, Presidential Puppetry, which revealed that President Obama's advisors feared a "revolt" if he dared prosecute CIA officials for lawbreaking during the Bush administration.
A separate group, the JFK Historical Group, convened a conference also on the topic and on the same dates from Sept. 26 to 28, 2014 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Alexandria, VA.
More than two thousand books are estimated to have been published in whole or part on the Kennedy assassination, according to AARC President James H. Lesar, who co-founded the non-profit in 1984.
The most significant of those books as measured by such factors as sales and expert citations are listed below in an appendix, regardless of whether the authors' point of view criticizes or defends such conventional interpretations as the Warren Commission report. This format follows the original goal of this Readers Guide, which was to provide at the outset a catalog of relevant materials.
This installment below is not meant for casual reading. Instead, it is best regarded as a reference source for readers looking for something specific in terms of a book or major report. Other installments of the Readers Guide cover the most relevant films and other videos, researcher centers, and events. Other installments provide interpretative columns. The guide also contains a listing of major official reports on the death.
Cuban Exile Militant Claims CIA Meeting With Oswald Before JFK Killing
A former Cuban exile anti-Castro militant told a conference audience Sept. 26 in a blockbuster revelation that he saw accused presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald with their mutual CIA handler six weeks before the killing and there would have been no anti-Castro movement in Cuba without the CIA funding.
Antonio Veciana, the acknowledged leader of the Alpha 66 assassination squad of Cuban exiles in the early 1960s, made the statements in a dignified but emotion-laden manner at this year's major conference analyzing the Warren Commission report on murder of President John F. Kennedy Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas. Alpha 66 is alleged to have tried to kill Cuban leader Fidel Castro on two occasions, but Veciana, a onetime certified public accountant for a wealthy Cuban in the years before the revolution, has never been been charged with an attempt.
Separately, the general counsel of the last major government investigation into the killing issued a statement saying the CIA had deceived him and the rest of the public during the late 1970s inquiry into the validity of the Warren report. Former House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) General Counsel G. Robert Blakey issued the statement during the conference Sept. 26-28 organized at the Bethesda Hyatt Regency Hotel in Bethesda, MD by the Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC).
Veciana said he is convinced the CIA organized the president's murder and that he saw Oswald meeting with a CIA official in Dallas because Veciana arrived at his meeting fifteen minutes too early. Veciana said he believes Oswald was a CIA operative whom the agency decided to blame for a killing it organized in a complex plot.
Veciana said his CIA handler was the late David Atlee Phillips, shown in a file photo above at right. Phillips was a high-ranking CIA official who used the cover named "Maurice Bishop" during his many meetings with Veciana. Earlier this year, Veciana confirmed to researcher Marie Fonzi, widow of his friend the author Gaeton Fonzi, that "Bishop" was "Phillips." But Veciana has never previously answered questions in a public forum.
The CIA placed Phillips in charge of the CIA's Cuba operations after the newly created agency recruited him from newspaper work in 1950s. According to biographers, Phillips, a former actor born in Texas, used hundreds of aliases in his CIA work, which included a role in the CIA's covert overthrow in 1954 of the left-wing government of Guatemalan leader Jacobo Arbenz Guzman. After retirement from the CIA Phillips organized thousands of fellow intelligence officers into the politically influential Association of Former Intelligence Officers. The group quietly helped support the political career of former CIA Director George H.W. Bush and Bush allies, among other endeavors.
Veciana, 85, spoke through a translator and with a son by his side. He said he was trained as a CPA and admired "Bishop" and the CIA deeply for many years.
Now, however, he said he wanted to set the record straight because he has come to admire also Kennedy, whom and he and Phillips once regarded as a "traitor" for allowing communist Cuban leader Fidel Castro to remain in power.
JFK Experts To Explode Myths, Sign Books In DC Sept. 26-28
Seventeen authors and film makers who have researched the 1963 murder of the President Kennedy are scheduled for meet-the-author book signings as part of a major conference on the 50th anniversary of the Warren Commission report.
The lead off author is Dr. John M. Newman, at right, a professor, former National Security Agency official, and one of the opening featured speakers opening on Friday "The Warren Report and the JFK Assassination: A Half Century of Significant Disclosures."
The Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC) organized the event from Sept. 26 to 28 at the Bethesda Hyatt Regency Hotel, which is near the District of Columbia border at the Metro stop in Bethesda, MD. The public can attend the author signings in the Embassy Suite without paying the conference admission fee.
Newman, shown at right, has been an adjunct political science professor at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA since January 2013. The retired major in the U.S. Army holds a doctorate, worked in Army intelligence from 1974 to 1994, and served as Assistant to the Director at the NSA from 1988 to 1990. His books include "JFK and Vietnam: Deception, Intrigue, and the Struggle for Power" and "Oswald and the CIA."
He plans to preview his next book, in which he alleges significant new information about official involvement in the president's murder and a cover-up.
Among the other authors signing books in a schedule listed below are best-selling investigative reporter Anthony Summers, shown at left.
Summers is a former senior BBC journalist based in Ireland and the author of nine major non-fiction books, including the just-republished Not In Your Lifetime that he will sign. His investigative work has ranged from the fate of the last Russian Tsar in 1918 to Britain's Profumo sex/spy scandal, to the John F. Kennedy assassination, to the September 9/11 attacks.
Another long-distance traveler will be Dr. Ernst Titovets, at right, who journeys from his native Belarus. As a student, Titovets became the best friend in Minsk of accused JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, who defected to the Soviet Union from 1959 until his return to the United States 1962. As a U.S. Marine, Oswald had learned fluent Russian and held a higher-than-normal security clearance. Some researchers believe Oswald participated in a false defector program. They say this pose enabled Oswald to penetrate the Iron Curtain during the Cold War albeit with a keen eye from the Soviets on his behavior, and then continue intelligence/law enforcement work back in the United States as a supposed pro-Castro advocate.
Titovets is a medical school professor who holds both doctoral research and medical doctor degrees. He will launch the 2014 updated edition of his 2010 memoir Oswald: Russian Episode. Tiitovets, whose medical specialty is neurology, argues that the Lee Harvey Oswald he knew was a friendly and relatively normal young man and not the angry, prospective killer widely portrayed by the Warren Commission and the commission's supporters.
Among U.S. best-selling authors are Russ Baker, author of Family of Secrets about the Bush Dynasty, and Dr. Joan Mellen, a Temple University professor who has authored 22 books.
The authors and film makers will sign copies of their work in the hotel's Embassy Suite, which is open to the public without admission charge.
Overall, some 45 expert speakers will reveal or discuss recent findings differing from the Warren Commission's 1964 report ascribing President Kennedy's murder to Oswald as a sole assassin firing from the rear. Other authors include Jim DiEugenio (whose collaborator Lisa Pease will also speak), Marie Fonzi (widow of noted JFK investigator Gaeton Fonzi), Robert Groden, Eric Hamburg, Dr. David Kaiser, Jonathan Morley, Andy Thibault, Dr. Donald Thomas, and Prof. Lamar Waldron, plus film maker Patrick Speer.
In another no-cost dimension of the conference, Los Angeles-based actor Brian Connors and a group of fellow actors will dramatize the long-secret Jan. 22, 1964 Warren Commission Executive Session where Allen Dulles told his fellow commissioners that the CIA and FBI would lie to them to protect their perceived self-interests.
A long-suppressed transcript of the meeting shows how the commissioners led by then-Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren dealt with the 1964 threat at the beginning of the commission's work that two newspaper reporters would reveal that Oswald had been paid $200 a week by the FBI before the killing.
Revelation of Oswald's FBI relationship threatened to thwart conventional wisdom promulgated by authorities immediately after JFK's murder Oswald, a former Marine, was a misfit, murderer and "lone nut" -- instead of the "patsy" Oswald claimed to be before he was murdered in police custody two days after his arrest.
The dramatization shows how Dulles, whom Kennedy had forced out of the agency in 1961 as part of shake-up the president intended, advised his fellow commissioners to deny any relationships that might have existed between the FBI, CIA and Oswald.
This no-cost reading is scheduled at 5:45 p.m. on Sept. 27, shortly before a separate banquet featuring a filmed message from the convention audience from director Oliver Stone and then remarks by his collaborator, Dr. Peter Kuznick of American University following a display of the JFK segment of their 2012 Showtime documentary, "The Untold Story of the United States."
Kuznick will comment on their work in his keynote remarks, and then sign books and video, beginning approximately 9:15 p.m. Stone, producer and director of the iconic film JFK, has been working in Germany on his next movie, "The Snowden Files." It portrays whistleblower and former NSA and CIA employee Edward Snowden.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Jimmy Chamberlin: Jimmy Chamberlin (drums); Sean Woolstenhulme (guitar); Adam Benjamin (Fender Rhodes piano); Billy Mohler (bass guitar).
|Additional personnel: Rob Dickinson, Bill Medley, Billy Corgan (vocals); Corey Wilton (guitar); Paul Chamberlin (drums); Linda Strawberry (background vocals).
|Fans of the Smashing Pumpkins are already familiar with Jimmy Chamberlin's formidable skills, and those who've listened closely know the drummer's arsenal of tricks contains much more than average hard-rock chops. In fact, Chamberlin was trained as a jazz drummer, a foundation that shows in the inventiveness and facility of his stickwork. LIFE BEGINS AGAIN is the debut by the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, a style-synthesizing collective that, like the leader's drumming, combines jazz, pop, experimental, and hard rock into an appealing, muscular fusion.
|Multi-instrumentalist Billy Mohler, guitarist Sean Woolstenhulme, and keyboardist Adam Benjamin lend distinctive textures to these varied compositions. Highlights include the post-rock-tinged instrumental opener "Streetcrawler, and the rolling, dreamy "Loki Cat" (featuring a guest vocal from Chamberlin's former bandmate Billy Corgan). These songs contrast with the post-bop workout "Owed to Darryl" and the shoegazer sheen of "Newerwaves." Other guest vocalists, including Catherine Wheel frontman Rob Dickinson and Righteous Brother Bill Medley, flesh out the heavy-yet-nuanced sonic melange here. Chamberlin's busy, progressive drumming is front and center throughout, so that LIFE BEGINS AGAIN is a treat for drum fiends as well as experimental-rock enthusiasts.

Grand Dame of Drag Charles Busch Discusses Thirty Years of Performing
Playwright, actor and "grand dame" Charles Busch has been commanding the stage for more than thirty years. A last-minute campy show he wrote and performed in the East Village of New York City in 1984 catapulted him to fame, and since then Busch's plays have been performed on Broadway and turned into movies. Busch is best known as a female impersonator, though, and next week he'll perform Hit the Lights, his cabaret show, at the Dusty Loo Bon Vivant Theater in Colorado Springs, which is also showing his Psycho Beach Party movie. Busch will be speaking at the theater on Sunday, October 26; in advance of his visit to Colorado, Westword caught up with Busch to discuss dressing in drag, cult classics and his cabaret show.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Black Friday, Cyber Monday set to surpass Boxing Day
TORONTO -- As hype surrounding Cyber Monday and Black Friday spreads north of the border, experts say the burgeoning weekend-long holiday sales event could soon surpass Boxing Day as the busiest shopping period of the year.
With the frenzy of what could be Canada's biggest-ever Black Friday over, deal-seekers are turning their focus to Cyber Monday, a day of deep online discounts held the Monday after the busiest shopping day of the year in the U.S.
For years, both events were largely U.S. phenomena that had Canadians who wanted to participate visiting American websites or making cross-border trips the day after U.S. Thanksgiving, which marks the start of the crucial holiday shopping season when retailers turn profits, or go "into the black."
But a combination of factors -- U.S. competitors setting up shop in Canada, Canadian retailers trying to keep sales local, Canadians' shifting shopping habits and tight-fisted consumers with shaky confidence in the economy -- are helping to establish the events on Canadian soil.
Willy Kruh, global chairman in retail markets at KPMG, said he wouldn't be surprised if the four days from Black Friday to Cyber Monday soon overtake Boxing Day, now expanded to Boxing Week, as the best period for retailers in Canada.
"On Boxing Day, Christmas is over and they've got to deep discount (merchandise), now you're selling to those who are looking for Christmas presents for deals," he said.
"I'd much rather kick-start the season with significant sales this early and I know where my inventory's going to end up, I know where my margins are, I can calculate it more, I can create a greater excitement for the retail season doing it in November than when the season's over."
He said Cyber Monday -- which cropped up in Canada just three years ago -- is growing at an even faster pace in Canada than Black Friday, as retailers look for new ways to fight back against U.S. competitors eating into their profits.
Last year, Canadian Black Friday sales were up 8.5 per cent from 2010, while Cyber Monday sales grew at 15.4 per cent, according to KPMG research.
Cyber Monday emerged with the advent of online shopping in the 1990s as shoppers wanting to continue their Black Friday spree logged in at home, as well as at work on the following Monday. Retailers began to notice a spike in traffic on the day, which is now the busiest online shopping day in the U.S.
Experts and retailers expect this Cyber Monday to be the biggest Canada has ever seen.
"The level of awareness around Cyber Monday last year was fairly limited, savvy web shoppers would know about it, but in terms of mass appeal in the Canadian population... it was nowhere near where we expect it to be this year," said Thierry Hay-Sabourin, director of e-commerce for Future Shop and Best Buy Canada.
Cyber Monday is becoming nearly as popular in Canada as Black Friday, said Kelly Askew, managing director of retail management consulting at Accenture in Canada.
And while e-commerce penetration is lower in Canada than in the U.S., "we're seeing a bit of a tidal change in how Canadians regard Internet shopping now," he said, adding selection, security and shipping at Canadian retailers are improving.
And Canadian chains are seizing opportunities to pull some of their sales forward, he said.
"I suspect we may start to see some declines in the heavy reliance that Canadian retailers have traditionally had on Boxing Day to make their annual numbers."
Kruh pointed out online shopping makes up just 10 per cent of total retail sales in Canada, but he sees it growing at a much more rapid pace this year and over the next few years.
Canadian consumers are adopting the trend, in part by shopping at sites south of the border that ship across the border, and a growing number of Canadian retailers are realizing they need to offer similar promotions to keep their customers.
This year marks the first time Toys 'R' Us Canada is putting a big emphasis on Cyber Monday, as the company strives to be one of the first in Canada to jump on board in an effort to keep spending local.
"For the past three to four years, Toys 'R' Us, and Canadian retailers in general, have been upping the ante every year ... to entice Canadian consumers to stay local and make purchases on .ca and not .com," explained Toys 'R' Us Canada spokeswoman Victoria Spada.
As both Canadians' shopping habits and retailers' online offerings evolve, e-commerce is becoming a real force that could threaten bricks and mortar shops that don't adapt.
A recent American Express poll found 56 per cent of Canadians plan to shop online for at least some of their gifts this season, up five per cent from 2011. And 23 per cent of those surveyed appeared so averse to crowded malls, long lineups and busy parking lots they would rather clean their toilets than visit a mall the week before Christmas.
"I think it's indicative of the fact that Canadians are becoming more comfortable shopping online," says consumer technology expert Marc Saltzman.
