HERNANDO BEACH — An audience dressed in red, white and blue shifted in the stifling midmorning heat as the Armed Services Medley drifted across the parking lot.
"If you've served your country," said Russ Moore, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9236, "then stand when you hear your service's song."
And one by one, men and women of all ages rose from their chairs.
An 85-year-old old man who flew 30 missions in Germany during World War II.
A father who just came back from his fourth tour of Afghanistan.
It's for the sake of these veterans that civilians should strive to educate themselves about how the military works, at home and abroad, Hernando County Sheriff Richard Nugent said in the keynote address during Monday's Memorial Day ceremony at the VFW post.
"The troops take an oath to protect and support the United States," Nugent said. "There is no such oath for you and I."
Nugent said awareness for issues such as veterans benefits is becoming increasingly important as soldiers return from Afghanistan and Iraq, especially because a smaller percentage of the country is now involved in the military.
Less than 1 percent is now active, compared to 11.5 percent during World War II, said Nugent, a Republican candidate for Congress.
Moore said the crowd was the largest he could remember in 18 years of Memorial Day ceremonies.
Members of the audience hummed along or put their hands on their hearts as the Nature Coast Children's Chorale sang God Bless the U.S.A. and America the Beautiful.
An honor guard of six former Marines fired a three-shot salute as taps played in the background, and two more performed a flag-folding ceremony.
The ceremony finished in less than an hour, with a blessing from women's auxiliary chaplain Marcia McKillop.
District Commander Kenneth Greenlee, who oversees 11 VFW posts, said he agrees that people should become better educated about military affairs.
But Greenlee said he also has noticed an uptick in interest from younger generations.
"Terrorism, the Trade Towers, bombing attempts," Greenlee said. "Younger people are seeing all that happen, and understand that what's happening in the world today is important."

Hi there!It is likley the IAC valve.Sometimes it gets covered with carbon and the pintal inside cannot move to make the adjustments.You can usually take it off and clean everything up with carb cleaner and that will allow the pintal to move properly.Here is some info.Hope it helps!Thanks
See Figure 1
Fig. 1: IAC valve assembly
The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve adjusts the engine idle speed. The valve is located on the side of the throttle body. The valve is controlled by a duty cycle signal from the PCM and allows air to bypass the throttle plate in order to maintain the proper idle speed.
Do not attempt to clean the IAC valve. Carburetor tune-up cleaners or any type of solvent cleaners will damage the internal components of the valve.
See Figure 2
Fig. 2: The IAC can be monitored with an appropriate and Data-stream capable scan tool
Due to the diode in the solenoid, place the ohmmeter positive lead on the VPWR terminal and the negative lead on the ISC terminal.
See Figures 3 through 9

Premier League: Mark Hughes says Stoke should have beaten Cardiff City
Mark Hughes believes Stoke City were unlucky to not beat Cardiff following their goalless draw at the Britannia Stadium.
Last Updated: 05/12/13 6:28am
The Potters had several chances to break the deadlock, but were thwarted by poor finishing and good saves from Cardiff goalkeeper David Marshall.
The result means Stoke have won just one of their last 11 Premier League games, but Hughes reckons there is no cause for concern.
"In terms of controlling the game, I thought we were very comfortable," he told Sky Sports.
"Cardiff didn't really cause us any problems throughout the 90 minutes. But credit to them, they worked hard to deny us space.
"But I felt we were the only team that looked likely to win the game. We needed something to just drop in the box. We had situations where things didn't quite fall for us and that's the luck you need to take games away from the opposition."
The Stoke boss reserved special praise for striker Peter Crouch, who caused the Cardiff defence numerous problems with his aerial dominance.
"I thought Peter did really well, he's been playing well for us and he led the line," he added.
"It's a shame he couldn't take the game away from them because he had a couple of good opportunities.
"All in all, it was a decent enough performance and we've taken a point which has moved us up a few places."

Double vision of love!
Nearly six months after their birth, Moroccan and Monroe -- Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's twin son and daughter -- are ready for their primetime debut.
As previously reported, Carey and hubby Cannon introduced their bundles of joy to Barbara Walters during an intimate visit to their lavish NYC apartment for a 20/20 interview airing this Friday.
In a just-released new shot from ABC, Walters bonds with the sweet little boy and girl, born April 30, held by their beaming parents.
The kids already have nicknames, naturally: "Roc and Roe," according to ABC. In a short clip from the upcoming special, Walters asked Carey, 41, whether she trusts husband of three years Cannon, 31.
"Sometimes!" Carey teased.
"My son is laid back like me," Cannon, told Us Weekly back in June. "My daughter's a diva like her mom!"
The special airs on ABC this Friday at 10 p.m.

The month of May is all about local cherries, but as they start to slow down in the middle of June, crops like peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, and pluots start to taste really good. Bi-Rite's selection of stone fruit during the summertime is a showcase of the many different local varieties and the world-class farmers who grow them. There's truly nothing better than sinking your teeth into a peach that was picked at the perfect ripeness so that sugars have developed into the sweet juicy goodness that makes us nostalgic for summers from childhood.
This spring the Bi-Rite Produce and Marketing teams took a field trip into the heart of Central Valley to visit a few of our favorite organic farms, and learn more about what it takes to grow amazing organic fruit!
Located just over 200 miles south of San Francisco in the heart of California's conventional, industrial agriculture there are three family farms doing their best to keep organic stone fruit alive. Masumoto Family Farm in Del Rey, CA is a beautiful, 80-acre orchard of land purchased by the Masumoto family in 1948. A third-generation farmer and celebrated author, Mas Masumoto has mastered the art of building soil to support the growth of his trees. The Masumoto family is in love with the tang of the yellow flesh fruit and seeks a sugar and acid balance that screams WOW! They're just about to start harvesting the Flavorcrest Peach, a popular variety for conventional growers who like a firm piece of fruit that can ship. Next up is everyone's favorite, the freestone Sun Crest Yellow Peach, a large peach with a red blushed skin and juicy texture – this is the peach that put the Masumoto Family Farm on the map. The last variety of stone fruit we will see from the Masumoto is the clingstone Le Grand Yellow Nectarine. The Le Grand is a large piece of fruit with a rich sweet flavor and firm flesh which makes it awesome for making nectarine ice cream.
Peaches and nectarines are categorized in two ways, freestone and clingstone. When the flesh of the fruit is attached to the pit you have a clingstone variety. They can be the best to eat but are harder to work with in the kitchen. The meat (flesh) freestone varieties are completely detached from the pit which makes them easier to work with for canning, freezing, and cooking.
Stella Balakian moved to Reedley from Boston almost 50 years ago, and she is the heart and soul of the fourth generation Balakian Farms. For the past 15 years the Balakian family has been driving 3 ½ hours one-way to deliver fresh-picked stone fruit to the doors of Bi-Rite Market. The Balakian's farm sits on just over 40 acres. They have diversified to grow one of the best pomegranates, which we celebrate in the Markets every fall. As far as stone fruit goes, Balakian focuses largely on early season stone fruit , but keep an eye out for the Flavor Grenade Pluot.
One of the biggest challenges facing these organic stone fruit grower in Central Valley is the limited local market for them to sell their premium organic fruit. These farms rely heavily on the markets in the Bay Area to bring them the financial return needed to survive as a small farm and pay their workers a living wage. Most of the farms that grow us all these amazing fruits and veggies that we see at Bi-Rite are in low-income communities that can't afford the prices for specialty organic fruits and vegetables.
Blossom Bluff Orchards is located on a "bluff" overlooking the King River in Reedley, CA, and it's one of the most stunning landscapes in the area. As we walked the orchard it was so good to see all the wildlife taking advantage of the diversity on the farm. The Loewen family farms on about 80 acres and grow a wide variety of stone fruit, citrus, and persimmons. Bryce and his father, Ted, operate the farm together and they have so many different fruit varieties that Ted has to keep a little black book just to remember the locations of the each varietal. Two of the crops the Loewen's have mastered is plums and pluots, which are just getting underway. We are finishing up the last of the unique Black Splendor Plum with its dark purple/red skin and meaty flesh, which will be followed shortly by the Yellow Dolly Plum with perfect, yellow skin and juicy flesh. Soon after the Dolly, the Catalina Plum will be harvested, with its dark amber skin – it is one of the sweetest plums of the season and just a taste of what you'll see at Bi-Rite from Blossom Bluff Orchards this summer.
If biting into a sweet and juicy piece of stone fruit doesn't get your taste buds fired up, we have a terrific recipe for Peach Cobbler from our Pastry Chef Keri, and of course Bi-Rite Creamery & Bakeshop is taking advantage of all of the amazing stone fruit to create all sorts of summer treats like Masumoto Peach Ice Cream and Peach Frangipane Galettes.

The diversity of styles offered by the signature grapes of Spain is well illustrated in this Saturday's Vintages release. Find these picks via
Leira Albariño 2010
LCBO No. 115816; $16.95 (90 Points)
Spain's albariño grape hails mostly from the verdant, cool climate Rias Baixas area. This stylish version has a terrific forward bouquet. Medium bodied with a nice grip, it has good minerality and refreshing acidity. Flavours of pear, nettles and lime come through with verve. One of my favourite varietals for fish and oysters.
Baron de Ley Gran Reserva 2001
LCBO No. 642496; $29.95 (91 Points)
This gold medal winner from the Rioja region is 90% tempranillo. It has a fascinating earthy, oak and barnyard nose. Aged more than two years in new French and American barrels, it has good structure, interesting complexity and silky tannins. Notes of incense, spices and lingering savoury, fruity flavours grace the palate. Classic traditional old-style Rioja.
Taja Reserva 2006
LCBO No. 243329; $14.95 (88 Points)
Half monastrell (a.k.a. mourvèdre in France), the third most widely planted grape in Spain, this value-priced red from the southern Jumilla Denominación de Origen is easy to enjoy. Aged a year in oak, it's smooth and quite rich. Fairly intense, it has flavours of blueberry pie and sun-baked cherries with hints of savoury game. Have with pizza, burgers or chili.

Unworthy servants…
I have always been challenged by Luke 17:5-10 –
The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down at table'? Will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink'? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'" (Luke 17:5-10 ESV)
I don't like to think of myself as an "unworthy servant" (or "unprofitable").
The phrase "unworthy servant" reminds me that I am a servant. Regardless of my vocation, education, or affiliation, I am a servant. I never have the option of responding, "I am no man's servant" (as Aussie John recently recounted in this comment). There is no place for pride nor for demanding my own desires. I am a servant.
The phrase "unworthy servant" also reminds me that I am unworthy in the sense that I am not worthy to be a servant. I deserve rejection, exclusion, and death, but I do not deserve to be a servant.
The phrase "unworthy servant" reminds me that I am unworthy in the sense that I do not add worth to my Master's household. Nothing that I do increases his wealth or ability. Nothing that I say increases his honor. If I were removed from my Master's household, his worth would not diminish.
The phrase "unworthy servant" reminds me most of all that I have a Master. My Master deserves my allegiance, my respect, and my obedience. My Master owes me nothing, yet offers me everything. My Master does not need me, but loves me completely. My Master can do everything, yet he chooses to work through me.
I am an "unworthy servant". But, for some reason known only to my Master, he places his ring on my finger and his cloak on my shoulders. He calls me brother.
I am an "unworthy servant". The more I recognize this and accept this, the more I will grow in faith… and the more I will understand grace.

Schedule: The Crimson Tide will open spring practice on Saturday and conclude the spring with their annual A-Day spring game on April 20 at 3 p.m. ET in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
What's new: Former Florida International head coach Mario Cristobal will coach the Alabama offensive line. He replaces Jeff Stoutland, who left to become the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive line coach. Billy Napier is the Crimson Tide's new receivers coach and replaces Mike Groh, who left to take a job with the Chicago Bears. Also, Greg Brown will replace Jeremy Pruitt as secondary coach. Pruitt left to take the Florida State defensive coordinator's job.
On the mend: Senior cornerback John Fulton (toe) and senior receiver Kevin Norwood (toe) will be limited this spring. Fulton is recovering from toe surgery.
On the move: Alabama's deep enough at receiver that receivers Christion Jones and/or Cyrus Jones could get a look at cornerback this spring.
New faces: The Crimson Tide have nine early enrollees who will go through spring practice. Included are two of their most highly rated true freshmen in the 2013 class – running back Derrick Henry and tight end O.J. Howard. Alabama would like to get the 6-6, 235-pound Howard involved in the passing game right away. Junior college newcomer Leon Brown will get a long look at right tackle on the offensive line.
Key battle: With three starters gone in the offensive line, the battle for the right tackle job could be a closely contested one. Junior Austin Shepherd probably enters the spring as the guy to beat, but don't count out Brown.
Breaking out: There hasn't been any shortage of marquee cornerback talent to come through Alabama over the last few years, and sophomore Geno Smith looks like he could be the next great one. He's poised to take Dee Milliner's spot and saw his role expand as last season progressed. By the end of the season, he was the Tide's third defensive back on passing downs. Staying in the secondary, look for talented sophomore Landon Collins to make his presence felt at safety. And on offense, sophomore center Ryan Kelly was impressive during pre-bowl practices last December while filling in for the injured Barrett Jones and working with the first unit.
Don't forget about: Alabama should be as deep and talented at receiver as it's been under Nick Saban. Sophomore Amari Cooper returns as one of the premier playmakers in the league. But the Tide will also add redshirt freshman Chris Black to the mix, and Black would have played a lot last season had he not injured his shoulder during the preseason. He's the one who turned heads during the spring game. Norwood isn't expected to be out there much this spring, but senior Kenny Bell should be back from a broken leg. And there's also junior DeAndrew White, who missed most of last season with a knee injury.
All eyes on: T.J. Yeldon was sensational last season while sharing time in the Alabama backfield with Eddie Lacy. They became the first two players in Alabama history to both rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. With Lacy leaving early for the NFL draft, Yeldon gets his shot to be the feature back, although Alabama has played multiple backs under Saban. Everybody will be watching the 6-3, 242-pound Henry this spring after he racked up an incredible 4,261 rushing yards as a high school senior. Don't sleep on junior Jalston Fowler and sophomore Kenyan Drake. How healthy is sophomore Dee Hart after a couple of knee injuries? There's also more talent on the way this summer when true freshmen Altee Tenpenny, Alvin Kamara and Alvin Jones arrive. The Tide just seem to breed great running backs.

This year's event raised nearly $140,000.

Foil Pie Ring
Most pie recipes instruct you to cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil when they begin to brown. I save myself a lot of trouble by fitting a foil ring around the pie while it's still cold…before I begin baking it. Once my foil ring is formed, I remove it from the pie and put the pie in the oven. When the pie's edges begin to brown, I just set the foil ring in place and continue baking. —Faye Hogenson, Gresham, Oregon

Yesterday, I ate hummus with a piece of bread so stale it was dangerously close to no longer being bread at all.
I had gotten this beautiful multigrain baguette from a bakery down the street. The first day, out of unbreakable, ritualistic habit, I ripped straight from the top of it on the way home; its soft, freshly-baked self was perfect just on its own. The second day, it was toast for over-easy eggs and avocado. The third, it was getting hard. On the fourth, I ate hummus with a piece that closely resembled a slightly more flavorful, seeded crouton of cement. It seemed wrong, but my teeth and I perservered because I had bought the whole loaf, and there was still half left, lonely and unused in its sleeve.
In their column Cooking for One, The Kitchn has instructed us how to prepare meals ahead of time, and they've given us tips on last-minute meals alone. Today, we learn how to cope with a big loaf of bread, if you've got no one to break it with (and you'd rather not break your teeth). For me, that means no more air-staled crostini. For you, assuming you haven't made my same mistake, it means the end of wasted bread. It's a win-win.

In other "former Cardinal ladies men" news, Chris Duncan signs with the Washington Nationals (Wershington, if Mike Shannon is reading). Seems like just yesterday that Chris was a responsible youngster with a good head on his shoulders, donating his time to soup kitchens and animal shelters all around town.
Oops, I misspelled "snagging fat chicks at Hrabosky's." My bad.
(Even better – this happened January 19th, but nobody, including Washington, mentioned anything until six days later. We don't blame them.)

I've heard of Gore-tex , Advanta , Evera and Surgisil PermaLip. What are the differences between all of them?
What is the Best Lip Implant Brand?
Doctor Answers 5
Best Lip Implant -- Perma Facial Implant
I have used 3 of the 4 implants you list. Both Gore-tex and Advanta are ePTFE implants and I did not have problems with them. But I have achieved greater patient satisfaction with the Perma Facial Implant (to the best of my knowledge PermaLip is not approved for use in the U.S.) by Surgisil and that would be my recommendation. Unlike others, SurgiSil requires special training in order to use their implants.
Goretex implants, Evera and Permalip implants are all options for lip augmentation

When the Baltimore Ravens last went to the Super Bowl, Art Modell was the owner, Brian Billick served as head coach and Trent Dilfer was the starting quarterback.
Now, 12 years later, they're back with owner Steve Bisciotti, Coach John Harbaugh, QB Joe Flacco and one significant link to both teams: Ray Lewis.
Drawing inspiration from Lewis, their long-time middle linebacker, the Baltimore Ravens bullied their way past New England Patriots 28-13 Sunday night to win the AFC championship and set up a matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. The victory finished a long dry spell for a franchise with one Super Bowl appearance in its 17 years of existence.
Lewis was voted Super Bowl MVP after the Ravens beat the New York Giants 34-7 on Jan. 28, 2001. He announced earlier in the month that he would step into retirement after Baltimore completes its current playoff run, and his teammates were determined to make certain that didn't happen before the Super Bowl.
"Ray is a fellow who's been here since the start of this franchise," strong safety Bernard Pollard said. "He's a guy who is The Raven. We respect him when he speaks. Everybody stops and everybody hears him. He's kept this team together, he's kept this organization together in so many ways."
Lewis knows what is needed to win. He knows about playing in the Super Bowl. Most of all, he knows how it is possible to get his teammates ready to play with unyielding intensity. Baseball lines
"Everybody knows what kind of player he is and what he's intended to this team and this organization," center Matt Birk claimed.
"There's probably not another leader like him. There is not any one like him, somebody that means as much as he does to this team.
Just everything he's been through, being here since Day One, and the way that he plays and the emotion and the passion that he plays with. I've been his teammate for 4 years, and that is how it is always been."
Lewis got to the Super Bowl in his 5th season, and then had to delay until his 17th to get back. In between, Modell sold majority ownership of the team to Bisciotti in 2004 and Harbaugh replaced Billick, who was fired after the 2007 season.
Harbaugh on Monday paid homage to Modell, who passed away in September, and voiced praise for the current owner.
"Art Modell is the foundation, the bulwark of this organization," Harbaugh expounded. "He and Steve come from the same place, kind of how they see things."
Dilfer, in the meantime, was released within months of his solid performance in the Super Bowl. He was replaced by Elvis Grbac, who played one season before retiring. The Baltimore then went thru 6 starting quarterbacks, including Anthony Wright, Chris Redman, Kyle Boller and Steve McNair, before drafting Flacco in the first round of the 2008 draft.
Flacco took over as a rookie in the season opener and has started every game since.
One day after throwing three touchdown passes and outplaying New England quarterback Tom Brady, Flacco couldn't fully comprehend the enormity size of going to the Super Bowl.

Somali pirates may be sentenced to life in prison
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - A jury has recommended that three Somali pirates be sentenced to life in prison in the slayings of four Americans killed aboard their yacht off the coast of Africa.
Prosecutors had sought the death penalty. But a federal jury in Norfolk, Va., recommended the only other possible sentence Friday for Ahmed Muse Salad, Abukar Osman Beyle and Shani Nurani Shiekh Abrar. Formal sentencing will be this fall.
The three men were among 19 who boarded the yacht Quest in February 2011 in hopes of taking the Americans back to Somalia and ransoming them for millions of dollars.
The plan fell apart when the U.S. Navy began shadowing the sailing vessel. The yacht's owners, Jean and Scott Adam of Marina del Rey, Calif., and their friends, Bob Riggle and Phyllis Macay of Seattle, were shot to death several days after they were taken hostage at sea.

Keegan Bradley maintained his three-shot lead at the HP Byron Nelson Championship by following up his stunning opening round of 60 with a one-under-par 69 in Texas on Friday.
The American Ryder Cup star, who had four birdies and three bogeys in his second round at TPC Four Seasons Resort, will head into the weekend with compatriot Tom Gillis (63) and South Korea's Bae Sang-moon (66) as his closest challengers.
"I'm almost more proud of this round than yesterday because I didn't feel comfortable all day," Bradley said on www.pgatour.com.
"I don't know what it was. I can't put my finger on it...I was a little uncomfortable and then I settled it and hit some really good shots.
"It was hot, the wind was blowing a little bit... it was difficult out there. It was actually a tough round, mentally, to play. I wanted to stay in there - it was just a weird spot I've never been in."
"I'm in a good position and I've been here and done it before, so it's a good omen to have" - Keegan Bradley
The 26-year-old, who won this tournament in 2011, continued: "I'm happy with the way I played.
"I'm giving myself really good chances here. All my putts are going down my line, which is a really good sign for the weekend.
"I'm excited to play. I love this course. I'm focusing on winning this tournament now. I'm in a good position and I've been here and done it before, so it's a good omen to have."
Bradley leads the way on 11 under - despite having twice bogeyed the par-four first hole - and acknowledged his 36-hole total could have been even lower.
"The first hole is probably the easiest hole out here," he said. "I don't know why I keep making bogey on that hole."
Gillis' seven-under 63 put him in contention to challenge for his first PGA Tour title, but the 44-year-old was not getting carried away.
"As of right now, (my score) hasn't done anything yet, other than give me a chance," he said.
The 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel was a further stroke adrift after signing for a second-round 70, tied for fourth along with American pair John Huh (64) and Ryan Palmer (68).

Investing in property takes good business sense and the know-how of how to make good financial decisions. If you want to make a profit off of investing in property, you should do these things to do so.
- Calculate your cash flows
Calculating your cash flows properly is essential for property investors. This is because regular payments have to be made on your mortgage for your properties. And properly investing in those properties, will require you to know how much you would be paying. Your cash flows, when calculated can tell you just how much you can afford.
- Hire a competent manager
A competent manager of your property can make your life, as a property investor, so much easier. You have to hire a property manager who can do all sorts of tasks that will keep the property well maintained. Look into the skillsets a potential property manager will have. If you plan to rent out your property to tenants, you must hire a good property manager to keep your tenants happy.
- Research into the property market
Do not go into a property market blind, do your research first before investing in a property market. This involves looking at the prices of the housing in an area, both the cost of rent and the cost of the property itself. You should also check and see whether that area is a desirable place to live. If it is not, it could be the wrong area to invest in. You have to be sure that you know the market you are entering to reduce the risks involved when investing in property.
- Negotiate a good mortgage deal
You have to settle for a good mortgage deal to make investing in property investment australia. You will have to find a deal that is favourable, and that is something you can afford. A good property investor should also know how to negotiate a property deal to be favourable on their behalf.
- Regularly inspect properties
You have to go to the properties themselves and inspect their current state. As an investor, you also have to be intimately involved with your property to gauge whether or not everything is going well.
- Be prepared to commit to the long-term
Property investment is never a short-term money making the venture. It takes some time to earn profits from properties. So you have to be committed to investing in your property for the long term and have a long-term plan in place too.

The Other Side of the Coinon May 16, 2013 at 10:12 pm
The other day, I noted the Justice Department's monitoring of phone contacts in the AP, and expressed my reservations about what was being done. I, like a lot of other people, wondered why the Government embarked on what was essentially a due process-less fishing expedition for leakers. What was it that had them (by all appearances at least) so pissed off?
The Government has responded, at least partially, with what had them irked. I'm not sure I buy into the response totally, but it does give some food for thought as to a free press vs. responsibility. In the WWII era, how would something like this have been dealt with? And should we apply those same concepts to what is going on today?
Disclosure of a highly classified intelligence operation in Yemen last year compromised an exceedingly rare and valuable espionage achievement: an informant who had earned the trust of hardened terrorists, according to U.S. officials.
The operation received new scrutiny this week after the Justice Department disclosed it had obtained telephone records for calls to and from more than 20 lines belonging to the Associated Press news service and its journalists in April and May 2012 in a high-level investigation of the alleged leak of classified information.
The informant, a British citizen born in Saudi Arabia, had been recruited by British intelligence to operate as a double agent within the group Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, one of the most dangerous franchises of the Al Qaeda terrorist network.
His access led to the U.S. drone strike that killed a senior Al Qaeda leader, Fahd Mohammed Ahmed Quso, on May 6, 2012. U.S. officials say Quso helped direct the terrorist attack that killed 17 sailors aboard the U.S. guided-missile destroyer Cole in a Yemeni harbor in October 2000.
The informant also convinced members of the Yemeni group that he wanted to blow up a U.S. passenger jet on the first anniversary of the U.S. attack that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. They outfitted him with the latest version of an underwear bomb designed to pass metal detectors and other airport safeguards, officials say.
The informant left Yemen and delivered the device to his handlers, and it ultimately went to the FBI's laboratory in Quantico, Va. Intelligence officials hoped to send him back to Yemen to help track more bomb makers and planners, but the leak made that impossible, and sent Al Qaeda scrambling to cover its tracks, officials said.
The Associated Press distributed a wire story on May 7, 2012, that disclosed some details of the passenger jet plot. The news agency had held the story for five days at the CIA's request.
The Associated Press did not mention the informant in its report. But White House counter-terrorism advisor John Brennan, who is now CIA director, briefed several former senior government officials who would be appearing on TV. Brennan told them, he later told Congress, that U.S. authorities had "inside control" of the plot.
Other media, including the Los Angeles Times, subsequently reported the use of a double agent.
British intelligence officials were furious at the disclosures, a British diplomat said. Saudi intelligence officials also were dismayed, U.S. officials said. And U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials were aghast.
"I have to say that this is among, if not the most serious, in the top two or three most serious leaks that I've ever seen," Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. told reporters this week. "It put the American people at risk — and that is not hyperbole."
A former CIA lawyer, who asked not to be identified so he could speak candidly, called that an exaggeration.
"Any time you've got a human being involved who was compromised, it's serious," he said. "But it certainly wasn't one of the top two or three that I would have picked. And I never heard of a leak investigation throwing out a dragnet over this many reporters."
Holder's claims are hardly surprising, or new: Government extrapolates, as we should be all too painfully aware is the case, considering what the Reign of Error did to get us into Iraq. But when has the press gone too far with something? How do we draw the line?
I'd love to see a spirited discussion of this in Washington, but the Rushpubliscums (now known to have altered Benghazi emails that they then leaked to the press) aren't interested in the truth. Their interest was, and is, to destroy the Obama Presidency. Color me pessimistic about actually deciding anything here.

Tough fight expected in central Victorian seats
A long federal election campaign has begun and the contest for the Labor-held seats in central Victoria is expected to be fierce.
The Prime Minister's announcement that the poll will be held on September 14 focuses attention on the contests already taking shape across the region.
The Coalition has a strong grip on the seats of Mallee, Murray and Wannon in Victoria and Farrer in south-west New South Wales.
However, Labor's hold on Bendigo and McEwen is more uncertain.
The veteran MP Steve Gibbons is retiring, leaving union official Lisa Chesters to try to retain Bendigo for the ALP.
Her main opponent is the Liberals' Greg Bickley and each of them has been talking up their local credentials.
Labor's margin is 9 per cent.
The ALP's Rob Mitchell has a 5 per cent buffer to defend in McEwen.
The Liberal Party has preselected Sunbury businessman Ben Collier to contest the seat.

A new person to talk to at the FDOE
The Florida Department of Education has a new leader in its communications department, nearly six months after Jennifer Fennell left that role for life in the private sector.
Now heading the PR charge is Erin Geraghty, who has been spokeswoman for the state's beleaguered Department of Children and Families for two or so years. Before that, the 2002 UNF grad served as a voice for the Departments of Elder Affairs and Community Affairs.
In other words, she's well versed in government speak, Tallahassee style.
In an e-mail to reporters, Geraghty promised to "continue to push openness, transparency and accountability in government." We sure hope so.

Do you practice sustainability as a family?
Are you teaching your child that it's important to look out, not just for ourselves, but for the wellbeing of others, the Earth, and future generations?
Our friends at Oak Meadow have dedicated their latest issue of Living Education to Sustainable Living and Learning. When it comes to teaching our children to step lightly and lovingly on this earth, this comprehensive collection of articles, stories, activities, and resources will motivate, inform, and inspire. Happy reading!
We use cloth napkins, cloth bags, and cleaning cloths... also cloth diapers and wipes!
I love all of these ideas on simple living! We have incorporated most of them into our family, but we are always striving to do more. The one that I am trying to focus on right now is integrating art and creativity into our learning. I used to be really good about this - having special art projects to explore or enhance learning. As we have gotten busier, this has slipped some and I would like to bring it back. Thank you for the reminder!
Hi, I shared your giveaway on my Twitter page. As a family, we do many of the activities listed considered simple and sustainable. For example, we grow our own food in the summer in a raised bed garden in front of our 2 flat, we use cloth for napkins and for grocery bags, we try to get out for a walk as much as possible, even if we don't have a destination planned (luckily we live in a pretty walkable city) and we always feel better after for it. This is a great list of ideas, I'm hoping to get back to doing more of the making our own type of activities like sewing (I love to knit, sew a little) and hope to try canning our food for the first time this year.
We have taken to replacing disposable items with cloth, such as paper towels, disposable baby wipes, etc. Also this year we are expanding our garden by at least double and I am going to try to save seeds for the first time!
Shared with my friends via email and a facebook post.
We use cloth napkins, cloth bags, and dry the wash on the clothesline. When the children were in diapers we used cloth. Now that all of the children are school aged, our favorite activity is getting outside to wander. Ponds, streams and the ocean are the current favorite spots to play and explore. On rainy days and in the evenings we all pile on to one couch to read aloud. With 5 readers in the house we can pass a book around for a long time!
Shared via e-mail and Facebook.
I do so many of the things on your list! What really inspired me, though, was more handwritten letters. I really want to do that and have my kids do that. Thanks!
I shared on facebook!!
I shared this with my like minded friends too!
I use cleaning cloths, compost, garden, and use cloth diapers and cloth wipes on my little one.
Wow! I love reading through the responses! Like some others, we use cloth diapers, cloth wipes and hand me down clothes. I'd love to use family cloth, but it is taking some convincing of my DH! LOL! We also grow a lot of our own food in the garden, hang our clothes to dry, I make natural toys and am a natural dyer (I am building a dye garden). We spend time outside instead of going places that involve driving and spending money. Recently we just built a treehouse out of salvaged materials. We're bartering with a carpenter friend of ours who is helping with the structural part. I'm really excited about getting chickens this year to give us eggs and fertilizer for the gardens. We visit with our neighbours regularly, and a favourite excursion is to walk down the street to the marina and talk to all the boat builders.
My DH and I are working through "Organized Simplicity" and creating our family purpose statement was very inspiring... I highly recommend the exercise!
We just got cloth napkins, air dry everything, compost, garden, buy used clothes/toys, eat good wholesome food, belong to a CSA.. and many more. Loved your list!
We expanded our garden this year, use cloth diapers, make our own laundry soap & household cleaners.
Our two boys are always wearing out the knees on their pants, so I sew on patches, or they wouldn't have any pants! They like it because the contrasting fabrics look cool. This year we are growing a garden, so far we have planted: sugar snap peas, bush beans, pickling cucumbers, carrots, spinach, parsley, thai cilantro, thyme, and zucchini. I hope to pickle cucumbers and have extra green beans for freezing. I love to write handwritten letters and I help our kids to write to their grandparents and their great grandmother. When the weather is good we do lots of hiking, swimming, and outdoor learning. We shop with reusable bags. We only own one car and sometimes take the bus instead of driving.
Beautiful Day in Paradise @BeautifulDayMom facebook.com/beautifuldaymama
Such a great list! I love to repair old things and make them new again. My problem is finding time to make this happen. I always have a pile of things to "up-cycle," but I'm working to live more in the moment and make time for the "little things." I also love the idea of creating a sanctuary spot to retreat to. Off to work on that now...!
It is important to our family to make meaningful connections between academics and our personal life. Oak Meadow helps us to integrate the pursuit of knowledge very naturally into our daily lives. I also hope that I am modeling a zest for education to my children as I have returned to school to pursue my passion (a degree in new media and a minor in dance).
I surely do love the idea of a "wonder board"! I don't even know how many times a day I hear "I wonder....?". A board like this will help us pursue our "wonderings"!
I shared this giveaway with my Facebook friends!
I shared this with all my friends. :)
I like the tip on getting at eye level with your kids.
We do a lot of these, cloth napkins, cloth diapers, cloth grocery bags, picnics,walks, sewing, making our own toys, reusing anything and everything I can. Freecycling when things need to go, I would like to incorporate more game nights, unstructured nature learning time as well.
Shared on Facebook
I love mothering magazine
I love Oak Meadows ideas
We would love to win the homeschool kit for my daughter going into second grade material!
Thank you!!!!
I shared on Facebook!
We upcycle a lot, use as many sustainable products as possible, and we are growing more of our own food than ever this year. My daughter is learning so much about what really matters in this world and how to live a more sustainable lifestyle. As we build a coop for our new spring flock of chickens we are studying life science, math, and other skills at her level (kindergarten/preK). As we plant our garden we are talking about compost, good and bad bacteria, nutrition, sunshine, and so many other concepts.

To start off, i'm new to the forums, and i turn 16 in december. I just sold my quad to buy a car and now i have about $3500 to play with. I'm leaning twards a grand cherokee because i want something that i can drive to the mountains or dunes, and have plenty room for people or other things. I don't want a v8 because i can't cover that much in gas/insurance. My brother had two early/late 80's jeep cherokees (i'm not sure if thats exactly what they were) but he had problems with one. And my father figure guy had an 02 or 01 And he had to sell it because something happened where it was more expensive to fix than it's worth. I would like to look at this 97 up in portland for $3000, but i've been hearing the 90's jgc's are problematic and expensive to fix. Any insight or tips. I want a reliable and inexpensive rig.
That seems a little expensive to me....older jgcs in Chicagoland are half that price for a Laredo with over 100,000 miles... I would keep looking.
If you're stuck on getting one with a 4.0 I would get an xj cherokee. Lots of info on them here. I would opt for a 97-01 preferably a 97-99.
On a side note having a suv and being in high school you'll be stuck driving most of the time cause everyone can pile in it. Although you can put the back seats down and sleep in it as well. I had an 87 4runner in high school and can speak from experience.

text: Unstable Wireless Connection Hey everyone, here is a bit of information before I start: Dell Inspiron 5150 P4 3.06GHz 512MB RAM Dell Wireless WLAN 1350 Adapter and wireless router: Linksys WRT54G (802.11b/g router) My wireless connection to my laptop was perfectly fine, but then I reformatted my hard drive and have been having problems ever since. It's quite strange because either the connection is really good/fast or it's really bad. There's no mid-range. For example; downloads are fast, games ping low but sometimes ping super-high, and also I can't ping most sites using 'ping x' on ms-dos. I was just wondering if anyone had any insights as to why this was happening? Edit: Some more information - packet loss in games - can't ping sites outside of ISP - fast but unstable, high ping spikes - downloads can go very fast (like normal) but is unstable sometimes making it go slow, but then picking up again (very unstable) Anyone have any ideas?

How to mount a USB flash drive?
I got a 64MB Lexar USB flash drive. I want to mount it on my pc. I use Debian 3.1 with 2.4 kernel.
When I look in /etc/fstab I get:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb3 / reiserfs notail 0 1
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
Use the command dmesg | more and verify that your system "sees" it. They usually show up as /dev/sda so you might look for a reference to Lexar and /dev/sda paired up in dmesg.
When I dmesg | more I get a whole lot of messages about the hardware devices....but at the bottom of the messages I can see these:
hub.c: new USB device 00:1f.2-2, assigned address 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x5dc/0x80) is not claimed by any active driver.
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: LEXAR Model: JUMPDRIVE Rev: 1.11
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
USB Mass Storage device found at 2
USB Mass Storage support registered. <<<<<<------IS IT ALREADY MOUNTED?????
I can see the Lexar Jumpdrive listing but how to mount it?
View the contents of /etc/mtab to see if it's already mounted. Probably not mounted though.
Flash drives usually come formatted with at least one partition. You can use fdisk /dev/sda to verify if it has partitions already. To mount it, you'll need somewhere to mount it too so mkdir /mnt/sda1 where sda1 can be whatever you want.
Then mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
Open a terminal or console, su to root, and:
# ls -l /var/tail/messages
Then plug in your USB drive.
You should see (after a slight delay) some messages like this:
Nov 6 18:19:41 venice kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
Nov 6 18:19:41 venice kernel: scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Nov 6 18:19:44 venice usb.agent[22682]: usb-storage: already loaded
Nov 6 18:19:46 venice kernel: Vendor: Generic Model: USB SD Reader Rev: 2.00

Nov 6 18:19:46 venice kernel: SCSI device sda: 31360 512-byte hdwr sectors (16 MB)
Nov 6 18:19:46 venice kernel: sda: Write Protect is off
Nov 6 18:19:46 venice kernel: SCSI device sda: 31360 512-byte hdwr sectors (16 MB)
Nov 6 18:19:46 venice kernel: sda: Write Protect is off
Nov 6 18:19:46 venice kernel: /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
Nov 6 18:19:46 venice kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Nov 6 18:19:47 venice scsi.agent[22727]: sd_mod: loaded successfully (for disk)
So, you can see here that the flash drive is sda.
Assuming you only have one partition on the drive (most likely)
you will be interested in partition #1.
Make somewhere to mount it:
# mkdir /media/USBflash
Mount it manually:
# mount /dev/sda1 /media/USBflash
All things being equal, the partition type will be automatically
detected, and the contents of the partition will be available at /media/USBflash.
I suspect that you'll find the flash is a fat(16) partition formatted
as vfat (long filenames).
So to be able to write to the flash drive as a user (rather than root)
you will need to add a umask to the mount option:
# mount -o umask=002 /dev/sda1 /media/USBflash
To unmount it (make sure you wait for it!!!!)
# umount /media/USBflash
to make this as easy as "$ mount /media/USBflash"
# echo " /dev/sda1 /media/USBflash vfat user,umask=002 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
Sorry mates I am bit a late in posting....it worked...and thank you for your help...:)

A tribe of Zythu who—after a being defeated by the Oma'razef tribe—have taken the unusual path of a life at sea. The Zythu's nomadic way of life adapted well to the sea for a time, until they were defeated by the Company of the Iron Wolf.
Many of their numbers were imprisoned by the Iron Wolf until they were freed on the orders of Chalazias, after it was demonstrated to him that the Zythu did not deserve the same ire he directed to the Orcs of Rastahl. They were remanded to the company of Sehera Tarzi.
The current status of the tribe outside of these individuals is unknown.

Sorry for digging up such an old post, but I think the linked page from the OP deserves a little more love. It brought to mind one of the aspects of "reading" that I didn't realize how much I missed: just seeing a physical book sitting on a shelf.
When I finally switched to ebooks, I remember gleefully donating all my paper books to a local non-profit, thinking that I'd never need to hold a real book ever again. I took down all my shelves and painted the wall with satisfaction. I was happy that I had so much extra room, and would never again have to shift around hundreds of books when rearranging furniture.
But you know, I miss them.
I miss seeing that tangible aspect of my collection. I miss seeing the familiar, well-worn covers. I miss laughing at the books that were literally falling apart from having been read so often over the years. I miss seeing the ridiculous hardbacks that had dozens of little strips of tissue sticking out of the tops because I ran out of paper bookmarks during quote collecting or research projects. I miss just looking at them and feeling a sudden urge to read one simply based on the cover art.
Don't get me wrong, I love the convinience of ebooks -- but I wish I hadn't been so gung-ho in getting rid of the hard copies of them.

Like Katy Perry's beau in her 2008 single, we're hot and we're cold to start off June.
Meteorologists expect June to get going with some "roller coaster" temperatures, according to a report released Sunday. Highs across the state will fluctuate for the first half of the week, especially in northern Utah, before leveling out by the end of the week, according to the National Weather Service.
It's forecasted to be a cool Sunday in Salt Lake City, with a high of 77 degrees. But come Monday, high temperatures will hit almost 90 degrees along the Wasatch Front, before dipping to around 60 at night, then back up to the mid 80s for Tuesday.

I have just spent a full three hours of my workday reading Literally Unbelievable, the website that tracks the wacky antics of the good people who believe The Onion reports actual, true news stories, so let's just say I'm more than a little surprised that the headline "T-Pain Sues Auto-Tune Inventor" on Billboard.com is NOT an article from The Onion. ONLY IN T-PAIN'S AMERICA, SHEEPLE.
So, this is a real story. It's 100% true and it's totally happening. T-Pain, known in R&B and pop music circles as the Lord of the Auto-Tune, is suing Antares Technologies, the company that developed it back in 1997. What could bring about the tragic dissolution of this seeming match made in heaven, you ask? Was Auto-Tune cheating on T-Pain with Cher? Is T-Pain going to use his ACTUAL VOICE on a recording? Ha ha ha NO DON'T BE RIDICULOUS. It's all about the benjamins, baby.
Recently T-Pain partnered with Izotope, a new company, to rep his very own voice-manipulation technology, called — wait for it — The T-Pain Effect. THE T-PAIN EFFECT. And therefore, Señor Pain is trying to distance himself from Antares by bringing an injunction against the company. On Monday, T-Pain and associates filed a complaint in the US District Court in California alleging that Antares is still using his likeness in marketing materials, packaging, and advertisements, and that this continued endorsement "will confuse and mislead the public and damage sales for his own new technologies, including the 'I Am T-Pain Mic.'" Yes, that is a real, purchasable product. The I Am T-Pain Mic. No word yet on whether the I Am T-Pain Mic allows the user to conceive of and spit shitty lyrics like "Oh she made us drinks, to drink/We drunk 'em, got drunk" or not.

text: The cool new Quirky Glide is an absolutely genius invention. Rather than swiping your finger down a super sharp knife to clear the blade of chopping debris and coating yourself in a practically permanent garlic essence, the sinister burning oils of a hot chili pepper, or something else that's probably best to avoid, just slide this handy grip to do it for you. Just attach this ergonomic grip to a knife blade before slicing, dicing, and chopping and when it's time to remove any accumulation, just slide it effortlessly with a single motion to clean. It's beyond simple and a slap yourself upside the head obvious solution.

Talk about time and patience! The results are fantastic and we here at The Feed did enjoy every second of the film, so a big bravo goes out to you, NXTManiac94!

The Latest Competition: Your Brand Agency
February 25, 2011
It used to be that design firms were responsible for one thing-helping to develop and design your brand. But today, those same agencies are using their expertise to create their own brands. Case in point: THEY. In 2009, the Amsterdam-based brand agency launched Zarb Champagne, which means "bizarre" in French slang. Produced by the Baron family, who has been making champagne for over 300 years, Zarb features eccentric bottles designed by in-house creative directors and executed by international photographers and artists. The brand's latest collection, Deep Black: The Underwater Exploration, showcases the work of deep sea photographer David Shale, underwater photographer Zena Holloway and costume designer Vin Burnham on glossy, black backgrounds.

The Portland Timbers had their final training session today prior to tomorrow's departure for the Bay Area to take on the San Jose Earthquakes in their final preseason match. With the season opener looming on March 19, the team is looking at this game as a final tune up before the 2011 regular season gets underway. With little room for experimentation, head coach John Spencer is looking to finalize his starting XI.
"I think a week before the season, we've got to be looking to putting out what we feel is the best team leading up to that game," he said.
It's going to be no different than the team that started against Seattle unless there's any injuries. We'll be looking to start what we feel is a team that played very well against Seattle [last week] and give them another chance to have a go at San Jose."
New Timbers midfielder Jack Jewsbury—a starter against Seattle—has quickly gelled with the team and has a strong idea of what the coaching staff's expectations are against the Earthquakes.
"I think it's just a matter of us continuing to work on the things that [the coaches have] been stressing all preseason. With me being here only a week, I've still gotten a good feel for what they're wanting to do and for us to stay solid and compact as a team," he said.
It's something that's going to be very important moving forward through the season. There's definitely a good base that they've set, now it's a matter of us stepping it up and up as we move towards the first game."
While fans are eagerly awaiting the Colorado game and reports of hundreds of Timbers Army supporters expecting to travel to Denver, Timbers players are still staying focused on the task at hand.
"I think guys understand what's important. It's not necessarily us looking past [San Jose]," said Jewsbury.
Obviously, we know what we're working towards in the first game of the year. But still there's work to be done."
Spencer, who utilized split squad formats in last weekend's two games at the Cascadia Summit, has been very happy with the direction and commitment of the team so far.
"We've picked all our players, we should be ready to go now. I think the preparation has been excellent and myself and the rest of the staff are very happy with the guys," he said.
With the preseason unbeaten record on the line in San Jose and a last chance to get the starting XI locked in, Spencer also has a very direct goal for what he hopes to accomplish on Saturday.
"Good performance, clean sheet, good possession in the game, and hopefully walk away with a win."
- MLSsoccer.com was in attendance today at training as part of their Road Trip to First Kick.
- Portland goalkeeper Jake Gleeson was named to a 30-man, extended squad for the New Zealand National Team's two-game tour of Asia. New Zealand head coach Ricki Herbert will trim the pool of 30 players down to 22 before the team's matches against China and Japan at the end of the month. The All Whites play the Chinese National Team on March 25, in Wuhan, China, before taking on newly-crowned Asian champion Japan on March 29 in Tokyo.
- Not training with the group is midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe, who has returned to Portland following successful surgery to repair a sports hernia late last week. He is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with his recovery.
- Head coach John Spencer has slimmed down his training group in Week 7, as defenders Quavas Kirk and Taylor Mueller are no longer training with the team.

Trisha Yearwood Admits She Was 'Kind of a Nerd' in School
Trisha Yearwood has sold more than 15 million albums and won dozens of awards, including three Grammys, throughout her career, which has already spanned almost 25 years. And according to the singer, success was something that she required of herself, even at an early age.
"I was kind of a nerd, so I was very much an overachiever," Yearwood revealed during a recent Q&A at the Country Music Hall of Fame. "If you believe in astrology, I'm a Virgo, so I'm very controlling, I'm very neat, and I'm very organized.
"It's a nightmare for everyone who knows me," she adds with a laugh. "But even as a kid I was like that …"
Still, Yearwood knew from an early age that she wanted to focus on music.
"Music, from the time I was probably about five years old, was my obsession," she acknowledges. "I was going to say passion, but I really was obsessed; I really didn't want to do anything else. Education was a given, only because of the way I was raised. Truth be told, I thought, at 15 years old, I should go and get a record deal and drop out of school, and my parents would have had none of that. I'm grateful now that my parents were pushing me in that way, because I wasn't mature enough on so many levels to do that."
Instead, the Georgia native, who was raised in the small town of Monticello (population: 2,000), took every musical opportunity she could, including performing at piano recitals and singing in choirs, while dreaming of stardom.
"I was very dramatic — very, like, 'It's never going to happen,'" Yearwood recalls. "'My life is over at 16 because I'm not already famous. I'm not going to get my record deal. I'm not going to be able to sing for a living.'"
Yearwood started out attending a local college before her dreams propelled her to move to Nashville at 19.
"I was really close to my family, and I was scared. It was a long way away from the middle of Georgia to come up here, [so] I started out at the University of Georgia. I was a business major because I'm very practical, and I was miserable," she admits. "And so I transferred to Belmont University [in Nashville] in my junior year, because I really just wanted to be in Nashville. I felt like this was the place where the music I wanted to make was being made. So it was my kind of making a deal with my parents that I would finish college if I could move to Nashville."
The aspiring singer graduated with a degree in business administration and landed a job at MTM Records, then became a demo singer before earning her own record deal.
"I got a real job, as a receptionist at a record label, and I started figuring out that if I didn't get aggressive about it, I'd get to be the receptionist forever," Yearwood says. "So I started to network a bit, called some writers that I knew. I got work based on the fact that I showed up on time, I worked cheap, I knew the songs when I got there, and I sounded good, and I did my own harmonies for free. So I was pretty good, cheap labor, and reliable. People would hire you because of those things."
Yearwood's self-titled freshman album was released in 1991 on MCA. Her debut single, "She's in Love With the Boy," stayed at the top of the charts for two weeks.

It's Mother's Day tomorrow in the UK, just a gentle reminder for those of you who still need to buy a card! This week my mum and I has a pre-mother's day packed full of lots of treats… she deserves it putting up with me!
Our day started with a visit to the Jo Malone boutique on Sloane Square, which is one of my favourite brands that I was introduced to by my mum many years ago. We had a fragrance consultation which everyone is offered for free in store where they help you decide on your favourite scents and which ones mix well together. We were then treated to a gorgeous hand and arm scrub followed by a spritz of our favourite scent combinations. Mine was Wild Fig & Cassis and Blackberry & Bay – yum! If you're still stuck for ideas on a Mother's day gift, the Sloane Square boutique are doing limited edition gifts where a 100ml perfume of your choice can be placed into a beautiful box of blooms. The flowers are gorgeous and will last for weeks. I think it's a really special gift for a mum!
Next up was a visit to the Daniel Hersheson salon in Harvey Nichols. Whilst I had the most relaxing, perfect pedicure my mum was in a private room having "the best facial she's ever had" by Nita. My mum gets facial a lot so for her to say this was the best is a big deal. She came out makeup free but completely glowing from the 'Alexandra Soveral' treatment. We then both had blow dries, but this time it was me saying "this is the best blow dry I've ever had". It usually takes about an hour to tackle my hair, but Roi blow dried and added waves in about 15 minutes, insane. You can see the final result properly in this video where 95% of the comments are on how nice my hair is. I'd definitely recommend the Hersheson salon for spa treatments and blow dries, we had a great experience and I'm sure I'll be going back very soon.
With our hair perfectly waved, we headed up to the 5th floor of Harvey Nichols for afternoon tea in Season. We had the chocolate tea, which came with a ridiculous amount of chocolate, a chocolate martini, finger sandwiches and scones. To say at the end we were full would be an understatement.
I hope you all enjoy Mother's Day tomorrow. Give her a big hug and a big thank you because mums are the best!

A hospitality industry association supported by USAID is now functioning independently and has emerged as a major promoter of Kosovo as a tourist destination. The Kosovo Alternative Tourism Association (KATA) was founded in 2010 by a small group of hotel and travel agency owners as an alternative to the country's national tourism association. USAID through its Kosovo Private Enterprise program assisted the nascent organization by sending the group to neighboring countries to learn more about best practices in alternative tourism. Inspired by what they had learned, the participants contacted others in the tourism industry to form what has become a strictly voluntary, but highly effective, association. KATA and its 105 members have worked diligently to promote Kosovo tourism at travel fairs in Albania, Turkey, Austria and the UK, as well as domestically. KATA also is active in sponsoring job fair events, and lobbying for industry relevant legislation. Most recently, KATA in cooperation with the Ministry of Trade and Industry very successfully represented Kosovo at the ITB Berlin Tourism Fair, March 6-10.
