The Way Most People Teach Lightroom
(and why it's wrong)
I hate to say this but I'm going to anyway… The way most people teach Lightroom (to me at least) is wrong. For starters, I've seen a lot of really complicated organizational systems. To a pro, Lightroom's database and catalog system makes perfect sense. As a result, so many people glaze over the most important part of learning Lightroom – organizing, importing and catalogs.
That's exactly where I changed my course. Instead of speeding past those topics, I spend a ton of time on them.
I feel that before you're really going to get comfortable with editing your photos, you've got to be comfortable with finding them and organizing them in a way that makes sense. If you don't "trust" Lightroom, you're never going to get all of the benefits from it.
The other thing I've noticed is that a lot of photographers teaching Lightroom are (or used to be) working professionals. As a result, much of the workflow they teach is meant for, well… professionals just like themselves.
And I totally get it! I think that works for a lot pro photographers. But, I think most photographers need something different.
I'm not a working pro. I'll even admit that I never really was. I've had many paid shooting gigs, but it was never my job. I'm an educator first and foremost, and a guy that loves to shoot. Because of that, I don't complicate the workflow. At the same time, I understand that you still want professional results. That's why, in this course, I show you just about every tool there is in Lightroom. But at the same time, I let you know which ones I think are important, and which ones I think you can skip.

"I Love You"
Let's be honest, every person we lay down with isn't someone we're in love with—sometimes sh*t happens. So unless we've spoken those three words before don't choose your first time to pour your heart out to a girl during sex. We won't believe you anyway.

So after coming back from SES I had some interesting conversations, looked at some interesting things and came up with a few ideas. One of the things I'd like to try but have never seen is a recently updated function/plugin. How would a recently updated plugin differ from a recently published function … well I'm glad you asked …
Recently updated would be used when you are using pages or posts in a more traditional CMS environment instead of a blog one. For example say you have a library or article database of keystone or flagship content. After the site is 3-4 years old the content may be come outdated. Rather than put up a new page/post with a new URL you decide to use the existing one and update or refresh the content. It would be nice if you could have a list of the ten most recently updated articles or even a page of the 50 or 100 most recently updated pages/posts. Sure you could hack the functionality by changing the publish date but that introduces other complexities.
Thanks to Corey Salzano who cooked up some quick code, thanks.
< ?php
$today = current_time('mysql', 1);
if ( $recentposts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_modified_gmt < '$today' ORDER BY post_modified_gmt DESC LIMIT 18")):

< ?php _e("Recent Posts"); ?>

foreach ($recentposts as $post) {
if ($post->post_title == '') $post->post_title = sprintf(__('Post #%s'), $post->ID);
echo "
ID)."'>";
echo '
';
< ?php endif; ?>

I guess I prefer analog to digital; bikes are entirely mechanical if done right(not enthused about Di2/Etap...). I even prefer bio/nanotechnology to electronic tech, because they are basically just making little machines.
Also, remaining calm when I am injured. One time I was riding my motorcycle on 24th Street, hit a patch of oil with my front wheel while braking for a stop, and went down. After I righted the bike, I realized something in my hand was going crunch-crunch-crunch when I actuated the clutch, so since I was near SF General I rode myself over there, parked my bike, and then lost consciousness because of the pain. Woke up and walked myself in, but never panicked.
Same kind of thing when recently a folding knife closed on my thumb and cut my finger in half lengthwise. Not pleasant, but never felt panic.
The Word For World Is Forest,Ursula K. LeGuin The way she makes you inhabit the over-the-top-macho villain's head is both enlightening and unsettling.
A Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood If the GOP had it's way...
Star Maker, Olaf Stapledon; If you have ever looked up at a starry sky and wondered what it is all for, please, please, please, read this book. Bundled with it in the Dover edition is his Last And First Men, a future history of the human race, from the First Men(Us), to the Seventeenth Men, living on Neptune with both they and the planet adapted, billions of years in the future, and facing the certain destruction of mankind. Told as if a member of the 17th Men was reaching back through time to tell one of us the story.
Wicked, Gregory Maguire; The Wizard
of Oz from the Wicked Witch's perspective; if you believe
that history is written by the victors in their favor, this
is for you.
Immortality, Milan Kundera; amazing.
Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson; great Swiftian extrapolation.
Anything by Tim O'Brien
Idoru, William Gibson
Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, Hunter S. Ok, Ok, Must stop, must stop. I like to read, can you tell? I get the shakes every time I walk in a book store. But one last quote before I quit(last great book YOU read: this profile):
"I look in the paper for a good comic strip to bring Ruth. All of them today would only hurt her feelings. Try this sometime: read the comics as though time were awfully short. You will be hard pressed to find anything funny. You will understand irony. You will put down the paper and look at the way the sun happens to be lighting the sky, and you will be thinking one word: please." Elizabeth Berg , Talk Before Sleep(About a woman whose friend is dying of cancer).
Currently reading: A Canticle For Leibowitz, Walter M. Miller Jr.
First edit in a LONG time: When my daughter was born, my dad sent me a copy of The Hobbit, the 50th Anniversary edition, hardbound faux gold leaf with the slip cover, inscribed "For Stella, when she is old enough, Grampa Ron". Well after years of playing with that neat gold book, she was recently old enough. It became our bedtime story, a bit of a chapter each night. She was sad when it ended, so can you imagine her excitement when I told her there were THREE more books? We just started The Two Towers, and she is giddy because it is now apparent that Gollum will be joining the story again. Her thing right now is to jump down from trees and other things onto all fours, and say in her best Smeagol voice (which is actually pretty good IMHO) "What has it got, in it's nasty little pocketses?" :) I'm so happy to be reading again, and in these circumstances...
Wings of Desire,Fight Club, Brazil, Blade Runner,Shawshank Redemption.Se7en, Usual Suspects
As for television, I did like Six Feet Under, the bits of Battlestar Galactica I've caught have been good, considering the cheesy 70's show it's based on, but if I have the time, I'd rather read, or see a movie.
On the ole iTunes playlist: 120 Minutes,

Also, I just discovered I have a form of Tourette's, triggered by idiots driving too fast in the rain and slamming into my rearend on the freeway. I'm told no one else curses when that happens.
Just recently I had a dialogue here that really helped gel it for me. It essentially went like this:
Me:So, you know, I feel in the past I've made the mistake of latching on to one person far too soon, and this go I've decided I want to make a decision in a more balanced way. I am not a player, I just want to be sure when the time comes.
Them:I think I understand. I'm not exactly worried about relationship choices right now. I know what you are describing though, from both ends. Human connection is desired but difficult in the modern world.
Me:Yes, finding "The One" would be wonderful, but I also know I've thought I found them many times before. Perhaps a little perspective is in order? Human connection is a necessity, but often bundled with much baggage and caveats; it would be wonderful to have shared experiences that are not concerned with tomorrow, or ten years hence. I really want to have fun and play, be playful without being sleazy, get away to a different reality for a short while.
Partnership is appealing, with the right person. The right kind of mix of "I get you!" and mystery unfolding. I wish for it, but am patient.

While many NBAA members were in Atlanta partaking of the association's recent convention, senior vice president of operations Steve Brown was in Washington on Capitol Hill defending business aviation against assertions by the airlines that GA was partly responsible for record-setting flight delays.
He told the House aviation subcommittee it "should not lose sight of one central point: that airline delays are basically a self-inflicted wound that is a byproduct of their business practices at major hub airports.
"The U.S. Department of Transportation's own reports contradict the numerous, erroneous allegations from the nation's big airlines over the past several months attempting to blame record delays and increasing congestion on the business aviation community," he told the House aviation subcommittee.
In his appearance before Congress, Brown argued that the airlines' own scheduling practices are second only to adverse weather as a cause of delays. He pointed out that the GA community remains focused on the real issue: expanding system capacity because "when capacity becomes constrained, general aviation is usually the first segment to be pushed out."
General aviation, he pointed out, has embraced new technologies that help increase system capacity and it supports legislation to modernize the ATC system.
Brown is well qualified to speak on such topics. Before joining NBAA, he was associate administrator for the FAA's Air Traffic Services. "Based on my years managing the airspace, when there are capacity issues in the air, it's usually because of the problems being caused by airline hub operation on the ground at congested airports," he said.
Throughout the summer, the Air Transport Association (ATA), which represents the airlines, blamed a surge in corporate jet and small general aviation traffic for bottlenecks throughout the National Airspace System. The ATA and the Bush Administration want Congress to finance the FAA and ATC modernization through a series of user fees.
The House of Representatives sent a resounding "no" to both the airlines and the White House when it passed its FAA reauthorization bill (H.R.2881) on September 20. The bill contains no user fees and no concessions to the airlines, but it does modestly increase the taxes on jet-A and avgas.
With the Senate dragging its feet on its version of an FAA funding bill, and faced with an expiration of the current agency funding on September 30, the House passed an extension until November 16 to provide a little breathing room so that aviation taxes can continue to be collected and the FAA can continue spend the money it needs to operate. Shortly before the Columbus Day recess, the Senate did the same.
Although the Senate Finance Committee has approved its FAA reauthorization bill (S.1300) tax provisions, which more closely mirror those of the House, a $25-per-flight user fee on turbine-powered aircraft remains. Assuming that the bill finally passes the Senate in its current form, a House/Senate conference committee would attempt to reconcile the differences.
Other uncertainties remain as the FAA reauthorization legislation continues circling in a holding pattern. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters appeared at the NBAA Convention's opening ceremonies in Atlanta and voiced disapproval of the House bill. After the gathering, NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen said it is unclear whether President Bush would veto a final version of FAA reauthorization if it failed to incorporate some form of user fees.
Also threatening to draw a Bush veto is a provision in the House bill that would force the FAA and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association to reopen their disputed contract, which then-FAA Administrator Marion Blakey put into force last summer.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/11/2012 (1741 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Swan River says it is unable to keep up with the costs of RCMP services in its community and will vote later this month, at a council meeting, on slapping a three per cent tax on alcohol bought within its limits. But first it has to get past the NDP government, which oddly insists on a uniform price for alcohol in Manitoba.
What public policy purpose is served by the odd rule -- especially given the wildly varying cost of milk in Manitoba -- only the NDP may know. More bizarre is the fact the Municipal Taxation and Funding Act permits, with provincial approval, towns and cities to pass bylaws to tax hotel rooms, restaurant meals and alcohol.
Swan River says provincial transfers are insufficient to pay for policing, which eats up the largest chunk of its budget. Rather than raise property taxes, the struggling town wants to connect the dots between policing and drinking with a dedicated tax. That makes sense.
In 2008, the province gave Thompson the green light to tax hotel rooms, but nixed a proposed liquor levy. That approach won't help a struggling town of fewer than 4,000 people. Having recognized the sense of a dedicated growth tax on hotels -- allowed in Winnipeg, too -- the NDP should now get over its bizarre aversion to a municipal taxes on alcohol.

Colorado's ESSA State Plan
In December of 2015, the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was signed into law. The title of the reauthorized legislation, which replaces the No Child Left Behind Act, is the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The passage of ESSA provides a much anticipated opportunity to improve outcomes for all students and gives states more flexibility and decision-making power at the local level. This law also requires states to develop plans that address standards, assessments, school and district accountability and special help for struggling schools. You can read the Every Student Succeeds Act here.
As part of ESSA, each state had to conduct significant outreach to collect input for their plans. The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) engaged with thousands of Coloradans in the development of the plan through 2016 and the early part of 2017. This process provided Coloradans a chance to closely examine the state's education system, adjust some priorities and gather feedback about what is working and what should be changed. Please visit our Hub and Spoke Committees pages and the ESSA Feedback page to read about the process and comments received throughout stakeholder engagement. CDE also releases an overview of Colorado's ESSA state plan. This ESSA summary report is intended to provide a clear explanation of the issues addressed in Colorado's plan.
CDE received approval and signatures from the State Board of Education, the Governor, Commissioner, and State Board Chair to submit Colorado's final ESSA State Plan in early May, and was considered as part of the U.S Department of Education's (USDE) early review window. CDE received feedback from the USDE as well as peer reviewer notes on August 11, 2017. CDE has until August 24th to submit a redlined version of Colorado's ESSA plan that addresses the issues raised by the USDE in order for the USDE to meet the 120 day timeline for plan approval.

1. Re: NEED TO TALK TO A REP ASAPjroeder Jan 22, 2014 10:13 AM (in response to MBANKS)
MBANKS, this is a customer-to-customer forum. Rarely will Verizon reps respond and even if they do, they will not be able to call you about your issue.
Customer Service - Prepaid
(888) 294-6804
or dial *611 from your mobile phone
24 hours a day, 7 days a week
I'm not 100% sure if it works the same as post-paid but I know for the post-paid customer service # you can press option 4 and say "Agent" and get to a rep within minutes.
2. Re: NEED TO TALK TO A REP ASAPMBANKS Jan 22, 2014 10:17 AM (in response to jroeder)
THAT # is a JOKE, been there done that!
3. Re: NEED TO TALK TO A REP ASAPjroeder Jan 22, 2014 10:46 AM (in response to MBANKS)
Well, again being a customer-to-customer forum there is not much we can do to help.
It's possible us consumers can advise you, what issues are you having?
4. Re: NEED TO TALK TO A REP ASAPVerizon Wireless Customer Support Jan 24, 2014 10:40 AM (in response to MBANKS)
No need to wait any longer, help is here! I can understand your frustration not being able to get assistance and I apologize for the inconvenience.
I do not have access to prepaid accounts, but I can definitely advise how to reach a prepaid customer service representative. Call 888-294-6804 and when prompted, enter the prepaid phone number. Then press 4, 5, 2 and then enter your pass code for your account. If you do not know the pass code enter in four zeros. Then the system will transfer you to a prepaid representative.
They will be more than happy to assist.
Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport

FAQs - Auto Enrollment - What happens when an employee elects not to participate in the retirement plan's automatic contribution arrangement?
If an employee opts out, the employer must not deduct automatic enrollment contributions from the employee's wages. If the employee chooses to contribute a different amount, the employer will deduct the different amount from the employee's wages and contribute that amount to the plan for that employee.

Every once in awhile, the Times publishes photos that appear innocuous at first glance, simple illustrations of small facts. But if you stop for a second, other things reveal themselves.
What I learn from these photos is that there are some sharp shooters (and editors) on beats that could be seen as boring. In fact, I'd hazard to say that a photo like this is more potent than what the journalists in the White House press pool have been writing for the past six years.
This photo proves that you can do a lot with very little.]]>
but yeah i think you raise the always interesting point about what the photographer was seeing and what people bring into the viewing of a photo.
Does this make the subjects look decisive, ready, and on the move? In the middle of some action? Or does it make them look disparate? Looking at each other unsure or confused… without a single-mindedness or direction? Following each other… following no one. What does their environment add? Does Abe watching them cast an approving note or a shameful one on the subjects?
Or does it make them look like they're playing musical sofa? Perhaps.
I'm sure some of that comes from what one brings to the image in the first place… but still, there's power in the photography itself… including the cropping and editing. Thinking about that sort of thing is endlessly interesting to me.]]>

The Little Flames were an indie rock band from Hoylake, England. The band consisted of Eva Petersen (Vocals), Greg Mighall (Drums), Joe Edwards (Bass), Miles Kane (Guitar) and Mat Gregory (Guitar). Their music can best be described as indie rock with some 1960s inspiration, slightly similar to The Coral. Fans of the band include Arctic Monkeys, who could be seen wearing Little Flames T-shirts at concerts at the Astoria in London. The band has played shows with bands such as the Arctic Monkeys, The Coral, The Dead 60s and The Zutons.
The band's song "Put Your Dukes Up John" was covered by the Arctic Monkeys for the B-side of their single, "Leave Before the Lights Come On".[1]
The Little Flames formed in December 2004, after members of the band were introduced to each other by dub and punk DJ Babylon Fox.[2] The band's run was short lived, and split up on 15 May 2007 prior to the release of their debut album, which remains unreleased. Miles Kane, Joe Edwards and Greg Mighall went on to form The Rascals, whilst Eva Petersen is pursuing a solo career.[3] Mat Gregory, who was the main songwriter for The Little Flames, is an artist, writer and musician currently living in the north of England. He is continuing to work on a number of on-going research and music projects. Miles Kane has since left The Rascals to pursue a solo career.

Blackjack Surrender
In short, the surrender rule in blackjack gives the player the option to give up half the bet and forfeit the hand.
Early and Late Surrender Rules
Sometimes you hear of 'early' and 'late' surrender - the difference between the two variations is that the first one lets you make your decision whether or not to surrender your hand before the dealer has checked her hand for a natural. The second one, late surrender, only allows you to surrender the hand after the dealer has made sure she's not holding a blackjack.
The early surrender rule is rarely offered at casinos these days. It was highly disadvantageous for the House and therefore soon removed from most casinos. However, the late surrender is still allowed and is, if used properly, profitable for the player. Therefore, you sould study the surender rules and strategy in this article and look for a Online Blackjack casinos that offers the game.
From now on, when we discuss the surrender rule, we will be referring to late surrender.
No retreat baby, no surrender?
Some casinos that apply the surrender rule choose to lower the payouts for players' blackjacks, or in other ways adjust the house edge so that the game will still be beneficial for the casino in the long run. If you are looking for a blackjack surrender game, make sure you get the same conditions as at the regular blackjack tables.
Blackjack Surrender Strategy
The surrender rule applied at most casinos today are still advantageous for the player, but if you study our strategy chart you will see that there are only four different situations when it is mathematically correct to forfeit your hand: When player's hard 15 or 16 is up against the dealer's 9, 10 or Ace.
Blackjack Surrender and Card Counting
In all other situations, drawing another card or standing are more profitable plays in the long run. With one exception. Our strategy chart does not take card counting into consideration. If you are keeping track of all the cards that have been dealt from the shoe, you will know whether the deck is 'hot' or not. If the deck is packed with 10s, it might be profitable to expand your range of "surrenderable" hands.
If you estimate the deck to contain a lot of 10s, it might be a good idea to surrender hands like hard 15, 16 and 17 against dealer's 7, 8, 9, 10. Conversely, if your count is telling you that there are a lot of low value cards left in the deck, you might want to pass on the surrender opportunity, although the strategy chart advices you to do so, and draw another card instead.
There are no exact charts for how to play in situations like these, your gut feeling will guide you in the right direction.
However, if you are confident in your card counting strategy, it is probably a correct move to follow your feel of the game here.
Notes on Surrender
The only reason why it's profitable in the long run to give up half your bet without even trying to win the hand is because the hands we are talking about here have really small chances of winning in the first place.
If you play by basic blackjack strategy you should continue following your chart, only surrendering when your chart tells you to do so. If you already went beyond this point and added card counting on top of your basic strategy, combining the surrender opportunity and the balance between high- and low-value cards left in the deck can add to your chances of winning. We really wish we had another chart to show for in these situations, but you really have to go with your gut here.
Notable however, is that as long as the casinos don't modify the payouts to gain a greater edge over the player, the surrender rule is beneficial for the player - if you know when and how to exploit it.

Bob Ney, post-prison
Bob Ney had it all: a wife, two kids and a rising career in the U.S. House of Representatives.
But the Ohio Republican became the first member of Congress to plead guilty to charges in connection with the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. Ney resigned his seat in 2006 and served 17 months of a 30-month sentence in a federal pokey in Morgantown, W.Va. He and his wife divorced in 2008.
Today Ney is executive director of Mending Minds, a foundation that teaches people with post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse to cope by using meditation and breathing.
We spoke by telephone on Tuesday, his 57th birthday.
Q: You wrote an open letter to (former congressman and Illinois Gov.) Rod Blagojevich in which you say, "We live in a country of second chances." Why did you write the letter?
A: I first thought about writing it and ran it by my friend and boss, Ellen Ratner. ... She hates for me to call her boss. I said I'm really hesitant to write this because when you write something like that, you're going to get some static in the sense of, "Well, what did you write that for• Publicity?" I am far beyond the publicity days, trust me.
I wrote if for three reasons. One, I know Rod Blagojevich and served with him and got along with Rod. He was a nice guy. And pretty practical.
Number two, I can sympathize with him. He got it worse than I did. He's ... going to get a longer sentence. But he's got a family, and I know what this does to families.
But third is a little bit different. It's for somebody who is aspiring to public life of any level or any type. Maybe they see this and hope that they don't get such a letter one day from somebody.
Q: Tell us how your life is these days.
A: The congressional schedule was horrific. Almost any Congress member's schedule is horrific. So I had to readjust over 2006, 2007, really to a completely different way of life.
I work for Talk Radio News Service, Ellen Ratner. I call her the Queen of the Left because she is way, way, way to the left. She's a White House news correspondent.
Q: How do you guys get along?
A: Well, good. I've known Ellen a long time. We met through a radio station -- Howard Monroe down in Wheeling (W.Va.) has WVLY. One morning I called in while Ellen was calling in her news report. This was back in the early '90s, and it ended up we both got clicked in at the same time. ...
So anyway, we got on the radio at the same time and after that we used to do a little bit of the shtick of "Ellen, you evil lefty," and "You conservative monster Republican." And we became friends.
Later on, due to a strange twist ... on her 50th birthday, she really wanted me at her party, and it would have involved two weekends in Washington and because of the family I never did that.
So I rearranged a visit to open the NASDAQ and to close the New York Stock Exchange. The (way the) visit was scheduled, I would have opened NASDAQ at 7:30 in the morning, then go up to the top of the (World Trade Center) towers and have a little reception; there's a restaurant up there. There was. And then come down around 10-ish (and) do a noon fundraiser. Of course, you're in New York (so) you're going to do a fundraiser. And then eventually close the exchange.
That was Sept. 11 ( 2001). Due to not wanting two weekends, they rearranged it and I went one week earlier ... .
Q: Oh my goodness ...
A: Yup. Ellen turns 60 this year. That was her 50th birthday.
Q: That's some kind of karma there, Bob.
A: I thought so. Anyway, she came up to prison offering me a job, which I declined at first, and then I thought, "Oh, whatever Ellen tells you to do, you better do." So I do talk radio news for Ellen and it's an interesting gig. ... I'll call stations, and if they bring up Fannie and Freddie or the debt ceiling, I can revert back to what happened when I was there.
In April of 2009, I started my own radio show with Howard Monroe. I did that until April of 2010. We were doing good. We were going to try to syndicate the show, and I'll just be frank with you -- I just got tired of doing a daily show.
So Ellen and I formed Mending Minds.
Q: You call yourself a recovering Republican ...
A: When I went to prison, I didn't totally morph on my positions on Second Amendment rights. ... But when it came to the whole world of incarceration and crime, I have morphed to where I would call myself a recovering Republican. It's kind of an inside joke.
I just think, "Lock them up, throw the key away," is not the way. I'm not talking about white-collar criminals. I'm talking about the 70 percent of the drug offenders whom I lived among for a year. It opened my eyes.
Q: What is your advice to younger people who might be thinking about running for office?
A: These are high-pressure jobs. You're going to get stressed, no question about it. And they need at times to remain in balance.
Politically, you know, all politics is local -- check back where the people are.
The second thing, don't get into ... "Oh well, it's minor infractions, nothing will happen, you won't get caught," blah, blah, blah.
Combine that with a lot of pressure and bad judgment and you end up where I ended up.
My advice is stay balanced and when you think you're balanced, check it with somebody else. And get yourself a good attorney, a good accountant and a good bail bondsman.

I thought Roxanne was a good choice. She is definately a team player and a hard worker.
I thought Roxanne was a good choice. She is definately a team player and a hard worker.
Remember the task when Tammy was PM and Roxanne just practically checked out of that task?! I don't recall Leslie being that disloyal.
Leslie, I thought, was talented as the "nurture" instinct of the group. She seemed to be hard-working and solid and provided encouragement and perspective to the general task and to the team relationships. She simply wasn't cut out to make the final decisions as PM, but I think she would have done much better on this team than Pepi; in fact, she would probably be doing most of the work right now, until everyone finally got a clue as to what specifically they were going to do.
I e-mailed Season 5 candidate Leslie and she seems to be a very nice person. Here's what I emailed her.
Surprisingly, Leslie was relatively prompt in replying to the e-mail I had sent her not long ago. Here's what she wrote.Hello. I was surprised that neither one of the Final
2 candidates picked you at all. I felt that you were
a generally strong candidate so I'm unsure as to why
you weren't picked at all. From what I saw on the
show, Lee didn't seem to have any problems suggesting
on the idea of picking you until Lenny went against
that idea. I don't know what Lenny has against you
because you didn't seem to be the type of candidate
who offended other candidates. When I went to Lenny's
forum, he's saying that you weren't an option because
according to Lenny, you have went out of your way to
try and get both him and Lee fired. Now I have a hard
time believing that because from watching the show,
you didn't go after either candidate in BR unless
either one of them was responsible for the loss. You
were playing it fair. As far as I'm concerned, Lenny
seems to be taking it personally that you took Lee to
BR back on the 8th Task and that Lee almost got fired.
Frankly, I don't know why Lenny seems to be so bitter
because he didn't consider any of the original Gold
Rush members at all. Now that bothers me when a
candidate takes things personally on the show. If I
were in Lee's place in choosing teammates, you
would've been my first pick for a teammate because
you're a hard worker and a solid candidate.
On the Yahoo! Fantasy Game, you were my choice for
winning this season and I was pretty disappointed when
you got fired. In fact, a lot of the high-ranking
game players had you as their first choice for winning
this season so I wasn't the only one who was let down
when you were fired. Regardless, I don't regret
picking you in the first place because I still think
you were a solid candidate. Of all the seasons of
this show I've watched, this season was the most
difficult to predict the Final 2. Anyways, I wish you
the best of success in whatever direction you choose
to follow from here on. Good luck!
Leon, a huge Kendra fan
Leslie was very nice here and she talked about Lenny being unable to separate business from friendship without attacking his character. I liked Leslie's response better than Lenny's because Leslie doesn't seem to be bitter here. If you're interested in e-mailing Leslie, you can get her e-mail addy off of her web site.Hi Leon,
Thank you for being a fan of the show and me! I really appreciate your
support. Your insight is brilliant! I am a fair person in real life
was also on the show. Unfortualtely Lenny took my decisions on who to
blame on in the boardroom after a task, which were not based on
personally. Lenny is a good person he just cannot seperate business
friendship. Charmaine and I were and still are very close friends but
made a pact to call each other out in the boardroom if warranted and we
would not take it personally. I think true friendship is being able to
your friends out on things and moving on after.
Once again thanks for being a fan and good luck to you also!! Leslie
Leslie would've been a better teammate than Lenny if Lee had picked her. It's a shame that he didn't and now Lee is probably regretting that.

Solodox, which launched in alpha last month, is a free web-based word processor and project management application. It allows users to create and store documents online and collaborate with others in real-time. The word processor is similar to its competitors, but where I feel Solodox stands out is in its project management. Solodox users can create project documents and work on them in an interface much like Microsoft Project. It's not an exact replica of Microsoft Project, but it has the main functionality where users add tasks in an Excel like interface and view progress in a calendar view.
Unfortunately, if you use anything other than Internet Explorer, you cannot use Solodox (except for registering – of course). But, I have read there will be additional browser support once the alpha stage has passed. I also found the application to be a bit sluggish at times and sometimes taking as much as a minute to load.
The Solodox interface has a similar look and feel to Microsoft Explorer. You can find a navigation bar at the top, folders and tags on the left, and documents on the right. Each document also gets associated with an icon so you can easily tell what kind of file it is (word document, project, or template). Users will also find that they can use the application and edit documents in Engish, Japanese, and Chinese. Google Docs, Zoho Writer, and AjaxWrite have yet to accomplish this, although they do provide multilingual support when editing a document.
The word processor makes for a decent alternative to Google Docs and Zoho Writer, but still has some quirks to work out. Registered users can save and export documents online, collaborate with other users in real-time, and publish documents to the web or to their own blog. I particularly like its collaborative features where it allows users to select a pen icon (different colors) for themselves that will appear next to the paragraph they are working on. Solodox also has version control for each document, but it is poorly implemented in my opinion. Users can only select and view a past version of a document, but cannot edit or compare it to other saved versions.
Perhaps my favorite part of Solodox is working with project documents. Solodox offers users a web-based alternative to Microsoft Project, a desktop application used for task management, scheduling, and scope changes. Its interface is very similar, but lacks in functionality. On the left of a project document, users add tasks and change the formatting of a task. On the right of a project document is a calendar view that shows each task as a bar spanning its duration. In the calendar view, users can click and drag on the tasks to lengthen the duration and move the task to a different date. And if you click on the left of a bar and drag your mouse to the right, it will increase the percentage completed for that task (black bar), just like in Microsoft Project.
Solodox also allows users to work on a project documents collaboratively, though I have not had a chance to test this out myself. Project documents can be printed and saved to Excel, which comes out surprisingly well, but I do not believe you can upload or import back to Microsoft Project.
Solodox seems to be off to a good start, but until it can get past browser compatibility issues and sluggish loading times, I'll be sticking with Google Docs. The project management was the real winner for me. Good news is that I've already seen changes made to the Solodox interface since first registering. It will be interesting to watch – already seems to be buzzing around Japanese sites.

COLUMBUS (AP) Two sheriffs deputies guarded shipments of cocaine for men they thought were drug dealers in an FBI sting, investigators said in federal court.
Robert A. Sears and Ronald D. Dyson, deputies in Belmont County in eastern Ohio, appeared in U.S. District Court on Friday for a detention hearing. They are charged with extortion and drug conspiracy.
Undercover agents posed as members of a Miami drug cartel and buyers from southern Ohio and hired the two to stand guard during a drug deal, testified Matthew P. Campe, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent based in Cambridge.
These gentlemen were sworn law officers taking money from people they thought were drug dealers in a community they were supposed to protect, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Burns said.
Asked what would happen if someone tried to steal the shipment of 10 kilograms of cocaine, Mr. Sears response was Theyd be shot, Campe said.
An undercover agent recruited Sears, a 12-year deputy, who then recruited Dyson, with the department two years, investigators said. The agents were from the FBI and Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation.
Sears, 49, of Bridgeport, and Dyson, 53, of St. Clairsville, remain jailed because prosecutors asked a judge to overturn Fridays order by U.S. Magistrate Terence P. Kemp to release them pending trial. Judge John D. Holschuh is expected to rule this week.
The FBI approached state and county officials about Sears more than a year ago, Campe said, but would not say why.
At a videotaped meeting with an undercover FBI agent, Sears agreed to provide security for a drug shipment from Miami to the county and was paid $2,500.
On the appointed day in November, Sears arrived armed and out of uniform, at a business garage, where he was videotaped as the agents enacted the fake deal. Sears was paid $1,000.
The following month, Sears and Dyson were videotaped during another fake deal involving 10 kilograms of cocaine. Sears was paid $2,500 and Dyson $1,000.
Dysons attitude appeared to be that drugs were entering the region anyway, Campe said.

New In The Loop Character Posters
Hope. B#ll~cks more like...
Alastair Campbell may hate it, but everyone else is waiting for In The Loop with something approaching giddy excitement, as the prospect of an colossal Gandolfini/Capaldi swear-off draws ever closer.
To pass the time, here are a couple of new characters posters giving the Obama treatment to Tom Hollander's befuddled Development Minister and James Gandolfini's surprisingly dove-like General Miller. Along with Peter Capaldi's sweary spin doctor Malcolm Tucker, the film sees the two embroiled in the UK and American governments' build-up to war in the Middle East.
In The Loop is released in the UK on April 17.

It's perfectly normal to jump off buildings, planes, canyons and bridges in New Zealand. Take the following conversation:
"Did you Skyjump?"
"No, I did the bungee jump at Nevis Bungee."
"Look, nothing beats the rush of the Canyon Swing."
My table of backpackers were engaged in a similar discussion, but the fact that two middle-aged couples were discussing adrenalin sports proves a point: Kiwis take great pride in their soft adventures, building a polished tourism industry specifically around them. No other country compels visitors - of all ages - to push their limits.
Most activities are focused around the adrenalin capitals of Rotorua on the North Island, and Queenstown on the South Island; consider them the Republic of Waiver Forms. Sign the dotted line, and let's go.
Bungee Jump - fear rating: 8/10
A Kiwi named A.J. Hackett invented the commercial bungee jump in 1988. In the realm of get-rich quick schemes, nobody predicted that tourists would pay good money to fling themselves off a bridge, attached to a heavy elastic band. Kawarau Bridge outside Queenstown is not the highest bungee in the world (I did that in Macao), or even the highest in New Zealand (that's the Nevis), but it is the home of the world's first commercial bungee operation. Here, I could plummet 43 metres into a river, literally dunking my head in the water below, with a margin for error I really didn't want to think about. I've bungee jumped four times on four continents and trust me, you never get used to that feeling of imminent death, rescued at the last moment by the eye-popping recoil. Ajhackett.com/nz; $133
Canyon Swing - fear rating: 9/10
While the bungee folks are trained to get you off the bridge before any second thoughts kick in, the folks at Queenstown's Canyon Swing have turned their leap of faith into a performance. Numbers are purposely kept small, and the crew are expertly trained to ensure that your confidence is utterly shattered, your nerves shot and that you're quadruple-guessing yourself before they facilitate your 60-metre freefall into a 200-metre arc at 150 kilometres an hour. Jumpers can choose from a variety of styles, including upside down, somersaulting, wearing a bucket, or pin dropping off the edge. I chose the Upside Down Gimp, rated 5 out of 5 on their soiled underwear scale. Hanging upside down with a teddy bear between my legs, they started the countdown. 5, 4, 3…the bastards let me drop before the countdown ended. They enjoy having fun with fear, which incidentally, tastes not unlike rust at the back of the mouth. With a huge discount on a second attempt, one good leap deserves another. canyonswing.co.nz; $148, then $28 for each additional jump; $15 for spectators.
Skyjump - fear rating: 7/10
The capital of Auckland was feeling a little left out, so they called A.J. Hackett, who promptly figured out a way for tourists to hurl themselves off the landmark 328-metre Skytower. Skytower's base-jump-by-wire system was designed for Hollywood stunts. Once I managed to persuade my shaking knees to leave the platform, the descent was surprisingly gentle. Unlike a bungee jump, the Skyjump slows down your descent, much like being on the outside of an elevator. Landing on my feet, in my bright yellow and blue overalls, it was the closest I'll ever be to a superhero, swooping in to save the day. skyjump.co.nz; $167
Swoop - fear rating: 8/10
Speaking of swooping, Agrodome Adventures outside Rotorua offers the Swoop, a flying terror machine. It hoisted me up by crane to 40 metres, wrapped in a hang-gliding cocoon. All I had to do was pull a little red piece of plastic, and the cable pops, sending the cocoon swooping at 130 km/h with the G-force of a fighter pilot. It's quite peaceful up at the top. I could see the surrounding green countryside, some cows in a nearby field. Every cell in my body went on strike, protesting against the fact that I'd be the one to pull the rip cord and trigger the rush. I was practically chewing on my aorta. Well, you can't hang off a crane forever. Life stopped for the split second between my pull and the drop. Then it slammed me in the face, leaving my breath, mind and soul somewhere up above. agroventures.co.nz; $36

Photo countdown: 12 days to the Fiesta Bowl
It's only 13 days until the 2013 Fiesta Bowl where the Oregon Ducks will face the Kansas State Wildcats. Every day we'll post a meaningful photo from the year to recap the eventful season and get fans prepped for Oregon's fourth consecutive BCS game. Be sure to check out the rest of The Emerald's football coverage leading up to the game.
Kenjon Barner broke off many long runs during the season for the Ducks. But his 71-yard touchdown run against Arizona State may have been the biggest. After the Sun Devils scored on its opening drive, Barner and the rest of Oregon's offense put any hopes of an upset to rest by scoring quickly on consecutive drives.

WASHINGTON (JTA) – The former IDF soldier currently indicted for espionage told an Israeli court that she took classified documents to expose war crimes, Ha'aretz reported.
Anat Kamm, an Israeli journalist and former soldier, allegedly passed off classified documents she had access to during her military service in the office of the GOC Central Command, to Ha'aretz reporter Uri Blau.
According to police documents obtained by Ha'aretz, Kamm told police that the Israel Defense Forces committed war crimes and that she appropriated the documents to expose them.
"I didn't have the chance to change some of the things that I found it important to change during my military service, and I thought that by exposing these [materials] I would make a change," Kamm is quoted as saying in the police documents. "It was important for me to bring the IDF's policy to public knowledge."
Separately, Kamm's attorney, Avigdor Feldman, staid she is ready to relinquish her journalistic immunity as Blau's source and is calling on him to return to Israel from London with all of the documents she provided him.
"I think that he did not reveal the documents because he wants to protect her," Feldman said. "Now she gave up her immunity as a source, and I am asking that he return, and his return, as far as I understand, will minimize the affair."
Kamm may be prosecuted on the most serious espionage charge: passing on classified information with intent of harming state security. A guilty conviction carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. She also faces a lesser charge of gathering and possessing classified materials with intent to harm state security, which carries a 15-year maximum sentence.

A good compromise
I thank the entire Pennsylvania congressional delegation – both Senate and House members – for supporting a compromise regarding the fiscal cliff that benefits our commonwealth's seniors.
The Pennsylvania Health Care Association and Center for Assisted Living Management is grateful that the compromise steered away from cuts to Medicare. I hope they remain pointed in that direction. Pennsylvania's skilled nursing centers stand at the brink of our own cliff. We're already reeling from severe Medicaid shortfalls and deep Medicare cuts over the past two years.
As Congress prepares for legislation to raise the debt ceiling, we stand ready to work with lawmakers to avoid further cuts to the long-term care profession. Our compass is set for 2013. We have rededicated ourselves individually, and as a profession, to enhancing the quality of care and improving the quality of life for all residents each and every day."

When leaving 'Britain's Next Top Model' series 6 launch party in London on June 30, the model's loose fitting shirt slipped down and exposed her boob.
Elle MacPherson has shown media the unexpected at "Britain's Next Top Model" series 6 launch party in London, England on Wednesday, June 30. The 46-year-old beauty accidentally exposed her nipple.
MacPherson, who hit the event in black shiny PVC pants and Louboutins, was blissfully unaware that her white loose fitting shirt slipped down, exposing her nipple. The shocking view was captured when the "Batman & Robin" actress, who went braless, was about to leave the bash.
Also making appearance at the series 6 launch party were supermodel and actor Charley Speed and fashion stylist Grace Woodward. Speed, who sported a black suit paired with white sneakers, posed along with Woodward, who looked lovely in her low v-neck dress and black shoes, matched with a couple of accessories.
Elle MacPherson has been tapped the new host and executive producer of "Britain's Next Top Model". On her role, she said as quoted by ABC News Online, "It takes one to know one. It has been the most amazing experience. I'm actually feeling quite sentimental about it. I've done a lot in my 30-year career and I'd have to say this really is one of the best experiences."

Digital Document Management
Buy Now...
PaperPort has a long and varied history as its version number 11 will testify. In the past I have used several versions of this software and have generally been impressed with the product's ease-of-use and functionality. Version 11 of the software brings a number of enhancement and new features into the field of document management to justify its claim of making it easier and faster to win the battle over paper. I just wish that "easier and faster" could also have been applied to the product's installation.
Initially I installed the base product on a 2.6GHz machine with approximately 160GB of hard disk storage. This took just under 14 minutes, with a long pause in the middle when the progress bar appeared stuck, before the process was completed and offers were made for online registration and product activation. I declined both offers and decided to check out the installation on a second, slower but with only 40GB of disk space, machine. This was decidedly faster taking under 10 minutes and this included online registration requiring several fields to be filled in by the user.
Now I have nothing against registering a product by whatever means but Nuance, that the new name of ScanSoft, also includes a copy of PDF Creator 3.0 with PaperPort and this also requires you to fill in exactly the same fields with its online registration. Surely Nuance should be able to program a system whereby the details only need to be entered once. Compared to the registration, product activation is a one-off process and is quick and painless.
Also included with PaperPort Professional, the subject of this review, is a copy of PaperPort Watson. This provides a single search solution covering the Web, email and desktop search indexes. While fairly quick to install, you might discovered, as I did, that there is already a fairly sizeable upgrade ready for downloading. I did notice that this search feature was extremely reluctant to give up its portion of the desktop, even when relegated to the task bar, so blocking other applications from using the full screen area.
PaperPort provides a desktop view of your documents of whatever type, using thumbnails of a user-defined size, along with a hierarchical tree structure view of your system's storage capability. You also have access to a range of features and relevant applications shown as icons on a Send-To bar. Individual items can be grouped together in a stack to free up screen area and categorised under different heading. There are also editing features with tools appropriate to the content built into the program or you can drag and drop a document onto the icon of a relevant application and have it appear ready for further work.
To help you get started, PaperPort comes with a series of How-to-Guides. By default, a list of these guides, covering tasks such as scanning, editing, enhancing, organising and searching for items, appears whenever you start the program. As with other aspects of PaperPort, you can customise the start-up by turning off this list.
Users of previous versions of PaperPort should immediately notice a speeding up in its launch and navigation between folders - this is due entirely to enhancements made to the software although I am sure assistance from faster processors will also have a part to play. Scanning is another area in which this latest version of PaperPort shows improvement. PaperPort has always had the ability to scan documents, often the software was bundled with a scanner, but now it brings greater control and increased compression especially when scanning to PDF.
Nuance has tidied up scanner selection and allows you to make use of any buttons on the scanner for direct access to PaperPort. You also have more control over image quality with scans as you can set black and white points for auto-enhancement plus use the software's de-skewing ability to straighten crooked documents. As you would expect from a company seeped in OCR technology with its flagship OmniPage product, PaperPort offer improved accuracy with regard to converting a scanned document into editable text.
PaperPort Professional 11 is an excellent product that continues to impress me. It is aimed at those who have a pressing need to convert paper-based media to digital format and then organise these documents in an easy-to use manner. PaperPort Professional 11 certainly fits the bill. However not everybody will need its full functionality and feature set. For those, Nuance has a standard version aimed at home and small office users. Professional is priced at £99 while the standard version comes in at £49. In either case you will need Windows 2000 or later with a Pentium processor or equivalent, 128MB RAM and 250MB of hard disk space plus Internet access for that all-important activation process.

Profiling on SuperStar Virgo Cruise: SuperStar Virgo Cruise Review by pbhugra
Overall Member Rating
Profiling on SuperStar Virgo Cruise
Destination: Asia
Embarkation: Singapore
My family had high rather very high hopes from Star cruise however the experience was hopeless and pathetic. Couple of reason, however the primary one was due to profiling done on board with us. Many experiences that we captured and would like to share with fellow people who are planning to go on this cruise.
1. Profiling - We all went for breakfast and upon requesting to be seated next to window, I was told that those seats are given if we had reservation only, which a fair comment and I went ahead. My wife was little late, and when I was inside asking the staff about the table allocated to me, she said if possible please allocate us window, not knowing that those seats are on reservation only. And the response was shocking and totally different than what was told me outside…the staff told us that's for "western only". I asked many times what do you More means and this person was only calling out one fact "it's for western only". When I said are you profiling, she immediately changed to "its only allocated when you are having western breakfast and not Indian, as Indian buffet is far form those seats." I told that staff person that if it's far, then it's a problem for me/family, and we can mange as I could see my kids wanted to sit by the window…..but she was adamant on the fact that I can't.
2. Bedsheets - They were stinking and had stains on it, infact a 2 star hotel cleans better than that. Just wondering this is the standard in rooms with balcony, what's would have happened to inside rooms.
3. Checkout - This was the most horrifying experience for me as we were told all nationalities will checkout before 12.30 or so, and Indians will check out after that. I want to ask why? No ans, isn't that profiling again?
4. Language Barrier - More than 50% of staff doesn't know how to speak most common language in the world that's english and then they claim it to be the multicultural experience.
5. Show Cancellation - Post the magic show, there was a paid class announced for kids, which my son enrolled for. The show was for 10 AM, and in excitement my son was so happy that he wanted to reach their early. We left our cabin around 9 to have breakfast and then drop my son to the magic class. we reached there by 9.45 and there were many other kids waiting. we waited till 10.10 am and no one showed up. When we called the activity centre, they told us, due to lack of min number of enrolments they cancelled it. When I asked them why no information was passed about cancellation, the only ans they had it was that they tried calling our cabin but to no response. When I asked when did you called, they said at 10. I asked that lady, why on this earth will someone be in his cabin at 10 am when they have to be in the class….no ans. then I asked why nobody showed up in the class, announcing that class is cancelled, no ans….
I'm sorry to say, this is total waste of time and money, if you like to stay and enjoy in cruise, then this is the last cruise you would want to stay in. Less

Cabin rooms have bad stinking sheets with stains on it.

THERE are times when you do something knowing deep down you may regret it.
The meal to celebrate my 70th birthday was such an occasion. We decided to heed the advice of Coun Dave Merrett and take the bus into town, rather than using the car.
Going into town was fine, but despite checking the timetable and being at the stop in Ousegate in good time for the return trip, the number 4 to Acomb, which we expected at 22.15pm did not appear. The rain was pouring and our enjoyment of a good night out was severely dampened. A bus finally arrived at 22.53pm and took us home: this was on February 6.
You would think we would have learned our lesson, but on March 20, we tried again using the bus into town. Same restaurant in High Ousegate, a lovely meal, bus timetable at the ready as we came to the end.
We were at the bus stop in Ousegate at 20.30pm: the electronic board told us a bus was due at 20.48pm.
At 20.50, the board changed, telling us No.4 was due at 21.18pm.The first one did not appear at 20.48pm.We finally boarded a No.12 and after a long detour and a walk we arrived home at 21.55pm– almost 90 minutes for a 15-minute journey.
I will not be using the bus on a night out again.

Tradition and hoopla for Obama's big day
WASHINGTON DC is in the grip of inauguration fever as it prepares to formally usher into office the 44th president of the United States.
At 6am on Wednesday, New Zealand time, Barack Hussein Obama, the US's first black president, will be sworn in amid a day of formality, fun and tradition that is expected to see four million people flock to the nation's capital to be part of the celebrations.
Inauguration Day begins with attendance by the president-elect at a church service, a tradition that began with Franklin D Roosevelt in 1933.
Obama will then meet George W Bush at the White House before the pair set out together on their procession to the Capitol. Strict protocol is observed on the procession the president and president-elect are followed by the vice-president and vice-president-elect, family members and the cabinet. The inaugural parade follows and the festivities continue in front of the Capitol. Among Wednesday's performers are singer Aretha Franklin and violinist Itzhak Perlman.
At 11.30am it's the swearing-in ceremony for vice-president elect Joe Biden. Then it's on to the main event.
Obama takes the oath of office at midday, using Abraham Lincoln's bible. In front of the Capitol he will say: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
The oath is enshrined in the US Constitution and will be the 56th time a US president has taken it. The first inauguration, of George Washington, was in 1789, in front of New York's Federal Hall on a balcony overlooking Wall St. With the ceremony complete, the crowd let out three cheers and Washington returned to the senate chamber to deliver his inaugural address. His remains the shortest inaugural address in history at just 135 words.
Inaugural addresses have a tradition of producing some of the US's most memorable political phrases. It was where Roosevelt said: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," and John F Kennedy said: "Ask not what your country can do for you..." Expectations are high that Obama, with a reputation as an accomplished orator, will enhance that tradition.
The pomp and ceremony continues after the inaugural address when Obama escorts outgoing president George Bush to his departure ceremony and through a military cordon. Bush and his wife Laura will then most likely follow recent tradition and leave the Capitol by helicopter weather permitting.
Then comes the inaugural lunch and the 56th inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Ave to the White House. The parade one of the most popular events of the inauguration lasts for more than two hours and includes 15,000 participants and more than 240 horses. It is largely a procession of ceremonial military regiments, citizens' groups, marching bands and floats. Obama and Biden will watch from a special stand.
But the day is far from over, with the highly anticipated inaugural balls still to take place. Obama and his wife Michelle will attend all 10 balls to be held in Washington. The first inaugural ball was held for George Washington and quickly became a highlight on the political capital's calendar. The venues, however, have improved since the second inauguration of Ulysses Grant in 1873, when a temporary building, built especially for the revellers, had no heat or insulation and guests danced in coats, the food was cold and even the caged decorative canaries froze.
Security for the day will be undertaken by 4000 Washington police officers, and 4000 more from across the US. About 7500 military and 10,000 National Guard personnel will also be on duty along with Secret Service, FBI and Capitol Police. All 240,000 ticket holders attending the swearing-in ceremony will be screened by metal detectors.
Life has already changed forever for Obama and his family. He is now the most guarded man on the planet. When travelling in a motorcade there are 12 identical cars to foil potential assassins. Each time the new president has a drink outside the White House he will need to hand his glass to a Secret Service agent who will put it in a bag and destroy it to ensure no one unauthorised has access to his DNA.
Obama also has a set of credit card-sized panic buttons that are squeezed to summons agents one for his pocket, one for his desk and one for beside his bed.

Walmart Is The Latest Retailer To Unveil Black Friday Deals On Thanksgiving 2013
Competition among retailers is fierce, especially when it involves the holidays. Walmart is the latest retailer to unveil Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving. Once you're done with your Thanksgiving dinner, Walmart is hoping you'll hop in your car and head to one of their stores to get a jump on those Black Friday sales. According to usatoday.com, Walmart will be holding special sales on Thanksgiving evening. One at 6pm and the other at 8pm. That's two hours earlier than Walmart's sales last Thanksgiving.
Online shoppers can expect to find good deals on Thanksgiving morning. But for those who refuse to do any sort of shopping on Thanksgiving, Walmart promises to still have great deals on Black Friday.
Walmart isn't the only large retailer trying to get a jump on the shorter holiday shopping season this year. Macy's, Target, Kohl's, JCPenney,Toy R Us, Sears and The Gap have all jumped on the Thanksgiving day shopping bandwagon.
Will you shopping at Walmart Thanksgiving evening? Not me. I'll be home enjoying Thanksgiving with family. Shopping can wait.
