It's not every day you run across a Volvo C70 amongst the plethora of compact European sedans in Barcelona , Spain ; however that's exactly the idea Kian Luque Callaghan and his father Carlos had on their minds. �Something unique�, �not your typical Fast & Furious show car participant� was only the beginning. A completely redesigned exterior from scratch that looks to be best suited blasting past a DTM style Audi on the racetrack, in addition to by far the largest wheels most of the Volvo tuning community has seen on a C70 catches your eye and keeps you starring as drool drips from your chin.
This particular 1998 C70 T5 was picked from the patch with only the notion that Volvos were known for �being extremely safe and durable�. It wasn't until the test drive (and being the first time in a Volvo) that Kian realized not only was the car comfortable and smooth, it happens to be a blast to drive! Being the vehicle Volvo provides to its executives, the car is obviously packed with all the amenities one could want; leather interior, 3 disc CD changer, moonroof, power everything, and even including some that you may not want, like heated seats in a mostly tropical climate. At the time the stock 240hp B5234T pumped out more than adequate power to toss it about the back country roads. After getting acclimated with the seemingly perfect combination of styling and grace, the nit-picking and perfection began. Kian Luque realized the hood just didn't look right, just doesn't feel it's the right shape and size compared to the rest of the car. It could have been the fact the C70 is longer than anything he was used to, but one thing was for sure� it needed a �subtle change, nothing too obvious�.
After many months of searching the internet for a body kit supplier that met his needs, Callaghan decided he would have better luck designing it himself and have it built to specification. The car was stripped down and prepped to forgo the concept Kian had worked in his head. Adding approximately 4.5� to each fender's wheel well is a project in itself, but forming a complete aero body kit that flows flawlessly with the lines of the car gives it that exotic supercar look is astounding. The task of creating this piece of art was handled by Manauto in Castellar del Valles. Sculpting the fenders, the running boards, and morphing the Mazda RX8 diffuser into the cars rear bumper in addition to creating a unique front air dam all from fiberglass took them about 6 weeks to complete. The color of choice was the original Nautical Blue color code from the factory. The headlights were swapped out for late model 2004 C70 lamps, and the chrome luxury grille was tossed and swapped for the more sporty looking XC70 style.
Once the body was complete and repainted, it had an obvious need for a more aggressive stance. In a quest to find wheels to match a 5x108 bolt pattern, Kian originally mounted a set of 19� Tecnomagnesio alloy wheels only to find that they just didn't fill the new humongous fenders quite well enough. After heading back to the drawing board he had a custom set of 3 piece 20� wheels fitted from Braid, a local company in Spain . 20x8.5� with 255/30 series tires mounted up front and massive 305/25 series tires on 20x11� rims for the rear. The springs were swapped out for Eibach coils dropping the car 2cm all around and shocks and struts from Bilstein were installed.
From car shows to internet photo galleries, the response to this radical and very unique C70 has been plentiful to say the least. Although Kian is just beginning the process of upgrading the rest of the car with Lamborghini style doors, reupholstering the interior paneling in leather to match the seats, and a Rica chipped ECU, the requests for where one might find his body kit have enticed such Volvo aftermarket companies as EuroSport Tuning (www.eurosporttuning.ca) in Canada to consider supplying this kit. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but if anyone in North America has been known for building radical body kits for Volvos it's the Derks. Hopefully we should be seeing something like this on the market shortly. With only a personal goal to create �an innovative and radical way of life at a new level� its apparent that Kian and Carlos have managed to raise the bar by a few notches in regards to Volvo styling. A one of a kind classy but aggressive looking C70 that still pumps out enough power to embarrass the local ricers, what more could you want?
Motor: Volvo original 240hp B5234T 5cyl white block mounted with a 16T Mitsubishi turbo pumping exhaust through a dual exit exhaust still provides the horses to push past most cars on the streets of Barcelona.
Transmission: Stock automatic AW50-42 transmission keeps things smooth.
Suspension: Eibach lowering springs packed with Bilstein shocks and struts give the car the extra stability it needs.
Wheels & Brakes: Custom 20" wheels manufactured by Braid in Spain, fronts measuring 20x8.5" followed by the enormous 20x11" rear wheels. Tires from Continental Sport rolling in at 255/30-20 in the front and 305/25-20 for the rear allow for little deviation from a perfectly flat road but provide more grip than one could need on the asphalt.
Cosmetic: Completely custom body kit created by Mr. Callaghan himself and constructed by Manauto in Castellar del Valles. The design incorporates 4.5" flared fender lips, an RX8 bumper, and enough fiberglass to build a boat. Headlights are from a 2004 C70, the "large mouth" grille from an XC70 Cross country both giving it some unique flavor.

American Curriculum (20% of school time)
Literature (five hours per week): The Terminale year adheres to the guidelines for the Option Internationale au Baccalauréat (OIB). By this year, students are expected to study literary works at a very sophisticated level, most significantly, as a culmination of their study of language and literature in the American Section. They will be prepared to take the year-end four-hour written examination and a half-hour oral examination on the literary texts studied over the past two years. Students may choose between writing two two-hour essays, or one two-hour essay and one prose or poetry commentary on a passage from an unknown literary work, testing how they apply skills of close reading and analysis to a piece of literature. The oral examination includes close analysis of a passage or poem chosen from texts that the students have studied in depth, followed by a question-and-answer session about the literary works studied during the two-year program.
According to OIB guidelines and in coordination with other OIB schools, by the end of Terminale, students will have studied the following texts: one play by Shakespeare, two nineteenth- or twentieth-century English-language novels, two English-language plays, a selection of works by two English-language poets, one English-language nonfiction text or selections of nonfiction writing, and four non-English-language works of literature in translation.
History (three hours a week): Designed by the French Ministry of Education, the Terminale history/geography curriculum is a well-defined program that has students focusing on five to six major themes in history and geography. In history, those themes include the relationships of societies to their past, the role of the media in forming public opinion, the rise of China since 1911, American foreign policy from 1919 to the present, regions of conflict focusing on the Middle East, international governance since 1945, and US domestic history from World War II to the present. This grand historical survey constitutes half of the program.
In geography, students study different aspects of globalization (including an in-depth look at a global product or service), the Americas (comparing the superpower of the United States with the rise of Brazil, representing a BRIC nation), the challenges of development in Africa, and issues relating to the economic growth of Asia. The breadth of this program, with each theme resembling a semester-long course in university, is coupled with the demand for students to effectively synthesize and analyze the information on their year-end OIB exam. Two weeks after the four-hour written bac in June, all OIB students also have a 15-minute oral exam. It is normally the last épreuve of the Terminale year.
French Curriculum (80% of school time)
In Terminale, students continue following the French national curriculum with the additional eight hours of class in their international sections.
Terminale students must choose two out of their three spécialités. The Lycée International offers eight different choices:
Langues-Littérature-Cultures Etrangères (LLCE)
Histoire-Géographie-Géopolitique et Sciences Politiques (HGGSP)
Humanités-Littérature-Philosophie (HLP)
Science Numérique et Science Informatiques (NSI)
Science de la Vie et de la Terre (SVT)
Physique/Chimie
Science Economiques et Sociales (SES)

Today's Bad Idea
THE INDIAN WITH ONE TESTICLE
csiadmin - 10 July 2013, 07:07
There once was an Indian who had only one testicle
and whose given name was 'Onestone'.
He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone.
After years and years of torment,
Onestone finally cracked and said,'
If anyone calls me Onestoneagain I will kill them!'
The word got around and nobody called him that any more.
Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said,
'Good morning, Onestone.'
He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into the forest where he made love to her all day and all night.
He made love to her all the next day,
until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.
The word got around that Onestone meant what he promised he would do.
Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until
a woman named Yellow Birdreturned to the village after being away.
Yellow Bird, who was BlueBird's cousin,
was overjoyed when she saw Onestone.
She hugged him and said, 'Good to see you, Onestone.'
Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest,
then he made love to her all day,
made love to her all night,
made love to her all the next day,
made love to her all the next night, but Yellow Birdwouldn't die!
Why ???
OH, come on… take a guess !!!
Think about it !!!
You're going to love this !!!
Everyone knows…
You can't kill Two Birds
withOneStone!!!
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This has officially been the looongest week ever. Thank goodness it's Friday! On a happy note, I received a belated Valentine in the mail a few days ago. Thanks, Mom! It brightened up my day, and made me remember why I love snail mail so much. My Mom included the note below and had to apply some "DIY" work to the greeting card. I absolutely love the stamp, which I will be purchasing here. It would look amazing on Sarah & Pat's save the dates or invitations!
I'm trying to catch up on my blogging this week... I'm taking inspiration from my trip to Scottsdale, and sharing some southwest-inspired wedding ideas. Please feel free to add to the list. If you recently had a "southwest" wedding, I'd absolutely love to feature some of your photos on Keg Design. Send images to kelly@kegdesign.com. Thanks!

We stayed at Camelback Inn Resort & Spa. We found a great deal on Lastminute.com. I would HIGHLY recommend the resort to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay in AZ or even a honeymoon. The grounds were beautiful, the service was top-notch, the food was delicious and the spa was to die for! Here are a few picturesque shots from the resort's website. You know when a website over promises with their words and pictures? This was not the case. These photos are NOT embellished or overly retouched...Camelback REALLY was this beautiful! They have a sister resort in Tucson...Starr Pass Tuscon Resort & Spa. I've heard great things about it too!

New Orleans has a lot to celebrate this weekend! The Saints are Superbowl Champions and Mardi Gras officially kicks off this afternoon in the French Quarter. Fat Tuesday is next week. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend...I'm heading out west with my husband for some much needed R&R. Check out more photos from this elegant Mardi Gras themed wedding here and here.
This bride is rocking the short wedding dress...and I love it. She's got class plus sass! I wish more brides would take the risk and go the short route (although I was afraid to do it). There are so many beautiful short and tea-length gowns out there. Image source here.
I'm currently working on a celtic-inspired save the date design. I put together these monogram letters for the couple to choose from. Who knew the letter "D" could look so pretty! Which one do you like?

Sequences homologous to Tc(s) transposable elements of Caenorhabditis elegans are widely distributed in the phylum nematoda

To have a better understanding of the evolutionary history of mobile elements within the nematodes, we examined the distribution and the conservation of homologues to transposable elements from Caenorhabditis elegans (Tc1, Tc2, Tc3, Tc4, Tc5, and FB1) in 19 nematode species belonging to the class Secernentea. Our results show that Tc1 elements display a distribution restricted to the family Rhabditidae with poor conservation. The Tc2 and FB1 homologous elements have the same patchy distribution within the Rhabditidae. They were only found in Caenorhabditis and in Teratorhabditis. The Tc3 element is widely distributed among nematode species. Tc3 homologous elements are present in the majority of the Rhabditidae but also in two genera within the family Panagrolaimidae, and in Bursaphelenchus, which belongs to the order Aphelenchida. Tc4 and Tc5 homologues show the most limited distribution of all tested elements, being strictly limited to C. elegans. These data indicate that in some cases, the distribution of transposable elements in the nematode cannot be explained by strict vertical transmission. The distribution of Tc3, Tc4, and Tc5 suggests that horizontal transmission may have occurred between reproductively isolated species during their evolutionary history.

Although the United States and the United Kingdom share the same language, American Studies majors need to understand and come to terms with the 'foreign-ness' of American life as well as to have an opportunity to study their subject on its home territory and acquire a closer knowledge of American society and its culture.
For these reasons, all American Studies majors, and joint-degree majors, spend their third year at a North American university that has been carefully selected for academic standard, levels of pastoral and administrative support, and cultural and geographical environment. Your journey will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn first-hand about the place you are studying and, perhaps more importantly, also the beginning of lifelong professional and personal attachments in America.
As an American Studies major, you will study at one of our US or Canadian partners' campuses that together represent every facet of the American experience from the Atlantic coast to the shores of the Pacific. Some of our students study at one of the University of California campuses, including UC Berkeley and UCLA. Those interested in the American South can study at Tulane University in New Orleans or the University of North Carolina, while politics specialists might choose Georgetown University or George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Whether you are interested in Native American culture, environmental history, or American modernist poetry, Sussex offers you a unique and unsurpassed experience while studying in North America that will, as returning students perennially attest, 'change your life'.
Follow Sussex American Studies Abroad on Instagram on @sussexamstudsabroad, or check out our students' North American adventures on #sussexamstuds.
Sussex Degrees in American Studies include a year abroad at a university or college in the USA or Canada with which we have an exchange agreement. You can use this page to find out more about the different institutions. Students will be advised on which universities are best for different major subjects.

Watch what happens when 20 Republicans are given the chance to help Trump
By Dan Tracer May 17, 2017 at 11:05am · 46 comments
It sounds like the setup to a bad joke: 20 Republican senators and representatives walk into a bar. The bartender, Charlie Rose, asks the politicians, "So what are you having?"
They answer in unison: "Absolutely none of it." Then they all turn white as sheets and make a break for the exit. It's a bit of a disaster, as the doorframe is rather small and only one person can leave at a time. It looks a little something like this:
Except this analogy doesn't even really work, since none of them would have shown up to the bar to begin with.
Charlie Rose invited 20 Republican senators and representatives to discuss former FBI directer James Comey's recently reported-on memo that Trump tried to obstruct justice. It was the perfect opportunity for a rising GOP leader to score brownie points by offering some Orwellian spin on the president's actions. They wouldn't even have to really make sense, as Kellyanne Conway and other mouthpieces have shown time and time agin.
But Charlie got 20 resounding "no's." The White House also declined to appear.
Here's yet further proof that we're living in strange days indeed:
.@CBSThisMorning reached out to 20 republican senators and representatives as well as to the White House to appear today — all declined pic.twitter.com/vIMMALxPXT
More on the memo, via The New York Times:
President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump's former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.
"I hope you can let this go," the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.
The documentation of Mr. Trump's request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump's associates and Russia.

Ha. Just like rats jumping off the sinking ship.

And meanwhile, that promulgation of Goldman Sacks investors that Trump ushered in are invoking the spirit of Wall Street again. The top echelon wins. If Trump is caught with his pants down (Sorry, boys. Wipe this image. Scrub your mind of it. Think of the beach, whales, dolphins, ambergris. Fool those mirror neurons; they don't know the difference. A little memory reconsolidation can't hurt for a little while.) will Trump's Supreme Court pick, Justice Neil Gorsuch, have to step down? Were it proven that Trump colluded with Russia, would Neil Gorsuch be deemed moot.
"Think of the beach, whales, dolphins, ambergris."
Ambergris? Really?! It's whale vomit, it's hideously ugly and it stinks of shit.
and one sizable chunk of it can run 60K.

No matter how much you hate on Trump, no matter what "dirt" you dig up on him, no matter what you think, say, or do about his conduct or that of the Republican party . . . he'll still be your president. Isn't it time to accept that and work at uniting the country rather than further dividing it?
DCguy
Mo Bro, Please specifically respond to the recent issues dealing with Russia and Comey. Otherwise your comment is meaningless.
Just another Paid Troll (Probably Russian) whose job is to leave pro-Trump postings, or at worst, try to change the topic.
whatevz
@DCguy – self-loathing Mo sounds more like Trig Palin
@Mo Bro–how can people "accept that and work at uniting the country" with a person that is so divisive in the first place. To date, Trump has barely shown an ounce of inspiration (at least Obama was inspirational and hope for something greater) or that he wants unite the country or the people. He's shown that is he's unwillingly to compromise, and that's it's his way or high road. He's been acting like a child, and guilty of extreme nepotism. He thinks that controversy is going to go away with time, but people remember. Just because he is the president doesn't mean that he is above others–or that people have to follow him blindly. I feel very sorry for you if you think that people should support him despite his or the republican actions, a party that is well known to oppress the right of other marginalized groups…Trump has definitely lowered the bar when it comes to morality and American standards. Until Trump comes to his senses and does what's best for the majority of the American people and his own personal interest, he doesn't deserved to be accepted as a leader.
MikeE
And I am sure you were the first person o be yelling the same thing from the rooftops when Obama was elected? Show respect? He's our president? Unite the country?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
Bob LaBlah
Mo Bro/Allistair/Neon…../MHoffman……………A country is united based on its leadership. What we are seeing is the destruction of democracy. No faith is currently in any of the institutions and it won't be reestablished anytime soon. The LAST institutions you, as a leader, publicly call into question are the intelligence agencies just because they wont go along with you and your shit. He picked a fight with the WRONG people. Already people are calling into question if Trump was the only GOP candidate the Russians help "sweep" into office and now those doubts seem to have legitimacy. Why would a flag waving, white christian Mormon country born and bred senator from Utah suggest appointing an Obama supreme court nominee that didnt even get a hearing (Merrick) to be FBI director if not for the purpose of furthering the investigation that will surely lead to getting rid of Trump? He claimed he suggested it for the sake of reaching across the aisle to the democrats. B/S, if you asked me.
It would not shock me at all if the Joint Chiefs of Staff have told all its commanders not to obey any orders coming from the white house until further notice. It happened during the last week of Nixon's administration and its beginning to sound like thats what is happening now.
When Mr Trump respects the presidency we might respect him. Barrington
Paw Paw Neo Blowtorch ought to be here soon, extolling his golden trailblazer. Pence lied and should not replace Trump. Ryan? The serf? He'll need a high chair for the Resolute desk in the Oval. One thing good that comes out of this is that the rest of the world sees that we have civil rectification, no, no…no need for that…put your Polonium 210 back in your umbrella tip, we have checks and balances that are adequate, thanks. What a colossal waste of time this administration was.
Yes MO BRO. We'll do exactly what the rethugs did to Obama for 8 years. An eye for an eye right? In this situation there is credible evidence that tRump is only out for himself and his business dealings and doesn't give a shit about you (no matter how much you think you're going to get while supporting him). If we accept this brand of collusion with the Russians does that not speak of how easily we can sell out our democracy? If the rethugs are such patriots and are all about their Constitutional rights then why are you so OK with #45 admitting he wants to scrap the very Constitution his party claims to be in love with yet wants to change it. Only a fool could not see what articles would be changed in favor of oppressing any opposition to a tRump brand of oligarchy. So dial back on that BS about accepting the current establishment and working to unite the country. We tried that for 8 years but the rethugs weren't about to let a black man claim any accomplishments.
crowebobby
No, it's time to expose him for what he is and dispose of him, just like the Germans should have done to Hitler before he was able to drag the whole country down with him.
@DCguy; @whatevz; @Alexis; @t; @MikeE; @Bob LaBlah . . .
@1EqualityUSA; @crowebobby; @barry, etc etc:
In other words . . . no, you're more interested in your own impotent fury than you are in the welfare of the nation.
Fine, so you'll choose to completely screw over the country you live in because you're still stunned and embarrassed that your vile candidate lost an "unlosable" election to an "unwinnable" candidate.
Congratulations. Just as long as you're aware that the perception of the general public is that LGBT is steadily morphing into Little Griping Butt-hurt Traitors.
baggins435
You can't be serious. The GOP went on record that they would do everything they could to block Obama after he was elected. They spent the next 8 years dividing the country and fighting tooth and nail to restrict the rights of women, minorities, and LGBT people. And now you expect us to forget all of that and "play nice" with the very people who have no concept of equality and fairness and only care about every little scrap of power they can control? Isn't going to happen. The "president" acts more like a 12 y.o. girl with his twitter wars over petty perceived slights, than the adult who is supposed to be leading the most powerful nation on this planet. He deserves no respect at all.
OzJosh
No, it's time to finally confront what has been self-evident for some time: that voting for an amoral, egomaniacal, self-interested simpleton really is deplorable. HRC got slammed for branding Trump's followers with that word, but history is already proving that she nailed it.
@Mo Bro;
"so you'll choose to completely screw over the country you live in because you're still stunned and embarrassed that your vile candidate lost."
Wrong (at least in my case). I started going into high gear around this time last year shouting from the mountain tops that no matter who won, we would ALL lose. And so far your boy Trump has proven me correct. No, I am not screwing over the the country that allows me to march down the street the last Sunday in June of every year wearing whatever I chose not to wear or reveal just about whatever part of my anatomy I choose to flash. I am simply stating it is time for this loser with the sixth grade vocabulary and on the same level as a third world dictator in mannerism to pack up his shit and leave.
Its not if its when there will be the next terrorist attack and when it does happen I do not want Trump in charge. Its just that simple. What is alarming is how the GOP couldn't find a candidate with strong message that didn't revert every other sentence back to Obama. Remember that little Energizer Bunny from Florida whom Christy nearly brought to tears when he told he how ridiculous he sounded? A loud mouth (Trump) exposed them for what they all were. Only problem the loud mouth was even worse, but no one wanted to say it. They ALL knew it but said nothing. The chickens have come home to roost and they are roosting loudly, aren't they?
@Mo Bro–Screw the country? Please, I think that Trump is managing to do that on his own. All that I am doing pointing his faults as the tweeting commander-in-chief so that the people don't stoop low (like you…maybe you need to raise the bar a bit). Had he stayed in the real estate business and away from governing the country, I wouldn't have given two shits about him. But as literate and participating citizen of the US, I care about how the country is heading. Turning a blind eye (like you're doing) to what he's doing and saying makes the US looks extremely incompetent…especially for a country that prides in being number 1 in the world. The election is over now, and there isn't any point in bringing it back (you live too much in the past). I assess Trump for his actions and character, which we all know are pretty despicable to date. Trump doesn't care about unifying the country, but only himself and his brand. Stop being denial MoBro!!! BTW, the LGBTQ community is stronger and more intelligent than you think. You're just an outlier!

I didn't vote for the fascist pig.
Uniting the country behind a person whose associates may have actively worked with a hostile foreign government to install him the White House? Are you out of your mind??? Wake up and smell the coffee! The man is total disaster! He can't even keep his damned lies straight, which is something W Bush at least could do. He is careening off the track. We should unite behind the Democrats, Republicans and Independents in Congress who are willing to do the right thing and impeach this corrupt liar before he can do any further damage!

Ah, Fake Biracial Bisexual…I mean Mo…is speaking for the general public. How cute.
So Republicans are basically admitting that they can't defend Trump and don't want to lose their reputations by getting involved in his collusion, or Treason, etc…
But they also still are doing their best to avoid it, protect his Russia ties, and hope it goes away so they can continue looting the Treasury to give handouts to their donors.
They are quiet, shamefully so. It will hurt Republicans, politically. This dry rot needs to be excised and replaced; they're beyond Cuprinol. Snip, snip, chop, chop, before it spreads.
Doesn't it strike any as odd that Rudy Gullianni hasn't had a word to say in Trumps defense in over a month? Nor has ol' Newt Gingrich? Those two WERE fire breathing supporters of Trump but now, as we say down here "you can't hit either one of them in the ass with a red apple". They are no where to be found. Not even ol' Sarah Palin has come to his defense. Jeannine Piro looked so disgusted I'm surprised she aired that interview segment.
He'll be gone before Halloween.
Road apple vs. red apple? Love this saying! Eighteen months is a lifetime; Trump's fair-weather friends are 'neath the taro fronds with a wet finger in the air. Now all Trump needs are two steel ball bearings to roll around in his clenched fist to complete the picture. "Who stole the strawberries?"

It's hard for anyone to actually comment on a story which they do not know the details about.
Are we supposed to just blindly believe the New York Times and take their word for it?
The New York Times says they haven't seen the Comey memo (which isn't even a memo, they said it's notes from an alleged chat) from January but a "source" seen it and told them what it says and we're supposed to believe that without more evidence. If Comey felt this was so troubling, why didn't he bring it to the DOJ at the time? Why only after being fired is this Comey memo being talked about in the MSM?
It's just like Trump's meeting with the Russian diplomats. The MSM runs a story and we're supposed to eat it up as 100% factual and anyone who even raises questions to learn more information is demonized. The MSM uses fear mongering that Trump may have shared classified info because their unnamed source says so, which is even more frightening considering that an unnamed source may actually be sharing classified information with random newspapers to disseminate to the public, if we're supposed to believe them OR that source is exaggerating info which could lead to potential international conflict since no news organization is even doing additional digging regarding these stories before running them.
The MSM will do whatever they can to attack Trump. They have bias and will even make up or exaggerate stories at times because the majority of news organizations are left leaning and can't accept the fact that Trump is President. The left don't want Trump to do his job properly and will generate any type of nonsense or rubbish story they can to tarnish his presidency, case in point – the 2 scoops of ice cream story – total nonsense. The left don't understand the damage they are doing to this country with all of the anti-Trump rhetoric and the damage they are doing globally with all of this anti-Russia stuff
It has been confirmed that the information he relayed to the Russians was gathered by the jews. Jews do not play that b/s because their survival is based on secrecy and intelligence gathering. He has pissed off the WRONG group this time and the jews will be unforgiving, trust me.
@BobLaBlah
General McMaster, who was at the meeting, said that sources of the information were not revealed and stated that Trump wasn't given the sources of the information. So according to you, who confirmed Trump knew this and gave it out versus the unnamed source knew this information (which would denote that the leaker is someone in the intelligence community) and told a newspaper? Rather than jumping to conclusions, we should be vetting these news sources first.
Also, what's with your constant anti-Semitic rants?
Correct me if I am wrong but being a military man would it be embedded in the mind of General McMaster to protect the commander-in-chief and his lies no matter what?
Its always an anti-Semitic rant when it involves the truth. I guess it was anti-Semitic when the press reported on the Mordecai Vanunu incident too, huh? As I said, the Jews do not play around with their security and revealing the work of a deeply planted spy is an incident that can incite them into action by revealing what Trump would prefer to keep secret, his taxes. You don't know YOUR people very well, do you?
McMaster said the sources and the methods weren't revealed, but he did not address or deny the substance of the Washington Post and New York Times reports that clearly stated Trump had revealed classified information, despite our intel ally's desire that it NOT BE REVEALED. You're diverting from the substance of what happened. Why? Oh, and then after his minions lied on his behalf, Trump admitted that he HAD revealed the classified, secret info to Russia. Not only that, but he barred US media from the meeting but DID invite Russian state media to film it. Indefensible behavior, and he only keeps getting worse and worse.
dwes09
No offense "La Blah" (well actually offense intended), but you are a scum sucking asshole. this progressive Jew is sick of your antisemitism and given the chance would kick your face in.
The Gay community does not need scum like you, and does not want scum like you. Willing to be that Hoffman is not Jewish, and in any case The political entity of Israel is not "the Jews" except to the stupidest and most hate addled of people.
You are no better than hoffman, mo bro, and the rest of them as you are just as removed from reality, just as mean spirited and intellectually deficient. Crawl back under your rock with your copy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, its pages stuck together from you masturbating to images of Dachau.
@djews09………I know for you and your kind the truth is a bitter pill to swallow. But it is what it is.

"Crawl back under your rock with your copy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, its pages stuck together from you masturbating to images of Dachau."
You know, after really giving it some thought and coming from an old gas passer like you, I must say that I thank you kindly for that suggestion. But considering the amount of RENT that YOU would now charge me for the space under that rock that YOU no doubt own I'll have to wait until I qualify for subsidized housing, which won't be no time soon. I had been hearing about that book for years but always thought it a bit too extreme even for my tastes but I shall now put that belief on the side and check for the truths that it exposes. And for those of you with inquiring minds as to why he didn't include the link you too can read it for yourselves and come to the obvious conclusion. I won't list the link to the Turner Diaries because of the violence but it too is available for those of you who have the time and curiosity about what it too is about.

It's sad you don't know how full of shit you are.

I doubt it but maybe congress was just being professional for once by not commenting on an ongoing investigations.
May……BE! Maybe. Maybe, baby. They were so gracious to Clinton, why, now I can see it, outstanding bastions of integrity. How refined. Thank you for your keen perspective about the GOP.
This is the fodder of the "face of gov't" keeping us all focused on the circus, makes me curious as to what the "real" gov't is doing while we aren't looking. Gov't to the public is smoke and mirrors compared to what is going on that we don't know or see.
I believe this. Twelve men in a smoky room run the world.
Neonegro
Well done by the republicans.
They should not speak to the liberal media at all.
Trump should move the press room out of the white house to the executive building.
They should change the daily briefings to weekly briefings.
Keep them out of the loop as much as possible and release important information to conservative media first.
This is a war and Trump better understand that.
The Grand Wizard will have his minions and dark passengers after he gets pardoned by Ryan. If the Mormons create a militia after splitting from the Boy Scouts, he may even have a creepy, little army. Golden Op's, of course. It will be easier to whip up his followers without the constraints of Office. Shadow Boxers such as Joey T or Neo will find brothers. What's that? Over there, under the sun? Nothing new.
Why am i not surprised that a fascist sympathizer has no understanding of the importance of the media in a democracy or democratic republic? You (and Trump) would prefer they be complacent sycophants…that is the road to autocracy. Are you really that stupid?
If it is a war, it is a war against the lies of an undeniably corrupt or impaired chief executive and his cabinet. And as always the press is at the front lines for democracy. As for your lame notion of the "liberal media", pretty much all the media are n=owned by centrists or right leaning folks. The NYT and the WSJ are in no way bastions of progressive ideas. The WP is, but is hardly slinging lies like Fox and Breitbart. All three of these papers have won awards for their objectivity, and are the apotheosis of responsible journalism. Not perfect, but head and shoulders above the crap the right cites.
dwes09,
If as you claim I am a fascist sympathizer, why then would I care about a free press?
See how stupid and dumb and lacking in logic your old brain is.
GayEGO
After the way Trump treated his GOP opponents I always suspected that some of them would wait for a way to get back at Trump. Now, I see impeachment proceedings on the news. Bye Bye Donnie!
Bye Bye Donnie……WELCOME PENCE. Still good
girl bye!

Windows 10 features revealed - Cortana and universal apps are here
By Michelle Fitzsimmons 2015-01-21T17:51:00.2Z
Microsoft outlines what its next OS can do for you
What Windows 10 means for consumers
Microsoft has revealed more about Windows 10, this time focusing on the consumer version of its next-gen OS. Details were outlined during a two-hour Redmond event, though the features won't release for at least three or five months - or more - down the road.
The first new feature detailed was Cortana on the PC. That's right, Microsoft's personal assistant is coming to your computer thanks to Windows 10, delivering what Microsoft calls a more natural way of interacting with the hardware.
Everything you need to know about Windows 10
The voice-powered search assistant works much like the Chrome OS browser; ask her who's playing in the Super Bowl, and it will relay the answer audibly. The assistant has an integrated search capability so it can pull up things unique to the PC, such as computer files.
Microsoft's Joe Belfiore reiterated Cortana's role as a personal assistant, so in addition to asking her general search-related questions, users can get details about their own lives, including calendar events, flight information and items related to personal interests. Belfiore noted the information is whatever a user lets Cortana know, a reassurance that it won't collect information you don't want it privy to.
Cortana is also headed to Windows 10 tablets.
Universal apps
Belfiore also detailed a number of universal apps, what he called "a family of apps to give customers everything they need for modern productivity for phone and PC."
Office apps were the first to be outlined, and the new suite essentially offers a device size-optimized experience across phone, tablet and PC. New versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook feature this universal design and function principle.
Word is fully functional on a any-size device, and PowerPoints don't lose any of their panache on a smaller screen. Users can continue working on a shared document from phone to PC without loosing functionality (ahem, Google Drive).
More universal apps will ship with Windows 10. Photos, for example, will be universal and can aggregate images from all a user's devices to give them a full view of their collection. Videos, Music, People & Messaging and Mail & Calendar will be built into Windows 10 and offer a consistent experience across devices. Data will be stored and synced in OneDrive, so users can pick up any Windows 10 device and continue where they left off.
The new Office desktop suite is under development, with further details due in the coming months.
A new build of Windows 10 is headed to Windows insiders in the next week.
This is the cheapest 256GB smartphone that comes with 8GB RAM
Xiaomi POCO X2 with 8GB RAM and Android 10 spotted on Geekbench
AMD could have a record-breaking 2020 with Ryzen 4000 desktop CPUs and new laptop chips
We found the cheapest 16GB RAM laptop with a 1TB SSD
Stream music in higher fidelity with TIDAL's holiday sale - only $1/month!

Microsoft releases critical Windows 10 security update – which doesn't work


But the Internet has recaptioned this image to give it a more amusing story. This theme park features miniature models of many famous attractions from around the world. Camel Spiders in Iraq It's true that camel spiders are very large, but much of the information about these creatures that accompanied this picture as it went around the internet was false. But the image was later criticized for being misleadingly captioned, because newspapers failed to mention that Bush was holding a decorative centerpiece not intended for consumption. The children had been playing in the waves and raised their arms in order to make a better picture.

Universal // R // May 23, 2017
Review by Randy Miller III | posted May 22, 2017 | E-mail the Author
WARNING: Mild spoilers below.
A rare hybrid of socially-charged drama and horror that scored well with audiences and critics alike? Not bad for a first-time director known mostly for sketch comedy. Jordan Peele's Get Out (2017) skillfully combines several genres with energy to spare, offering a one-two punch of great characters trapped in a subversive and unpredictable story. Our protagonist is Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya, in his first starring role), a photographer who's nervous about meeting the parents of his white girlfriend Rose Armitage (Allison Williams). It goes pretty much as expected: neurosurgeon father Dean (Bradley Whitford) tries waay too hard to seem cool, while psychiatrist mother Missy (Catherine Keener) suggests hypnotherapy to curb Chris' smoking habit. To make matters worse, all of the hired help is black and there's a huge party with their liberal elite friends booked the same weekend.
Naturally, things get worse in a hurry. After a humiliating exchange with Rose's brother Jeremy (Caleb Landry Jones), Chris' late-night walk turns into a revealing chat with Missy about his own past---specifically, the death of his mother when he was 11---which feels so surreal that he almost dismisses it as a nightmare the next morning. Soon enough, guests arrive and the party dials his comfort level down even further...but not before Chris recognizes the face of a black guest who disappeared from the area several months earlier. Aside from supportive Rose---who eventually suggests they bail for the weekend---Chris' only other lifeline is pal Rod Williams (Lil Rel Howery), a TSA employee with plenty of free time for texting. Otherwise, he might as well be on Mars.
The true core of Get Out doesn't seem to be plot-related, as surprisingly dense as its story eventually proves to be: it's the emotional relationship between its characters, a subversive blend of horror and social clichés brazenly turned upside-down for maximum discomfort and unpredictability. Call it what you want---even Guess Who's Coming To Get Lobotomized After Dinner?---but Peele's expertly crafted story is both refreshingly different and treats its audience with the utmost respect. Perhaps Get Out's only slight drawback is the somewhat overcooked mythology of the Armitage family tree, which goes at least one or two layers deeper than necessary. But when a first-time director pulls off a debut this satisfying in a genre polluted by near-constant disappointment, that's cause for celebration. Featuring plenty of great performances, finely-tuned pacing, and a truly memorable score by Michael Abels, it's the kind of film that gets under your skin immediately and should hold up perfectly well to repeat viewings.
Shot in just 23 days on a budget of less than $5M, Get Out's massive success all but guaranteed a quick ride to home video. Luckily, Universal's Blu-ray/DVD package offers plenty of support with an outstanding A/V presentation and several enjoyable and informative extras (highlighted by a feature-length audio commentary by Peele, plus a handful of deleted scenes and an alternate ending also with optional commentary). Overall, it's an attractive package for established fans and curious newcomers.
Presented in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio, Get Out looks as good as you'd think for a big studio film still playing in a handful of theaters nationwide. As expected for a film that changes emotional tone abruptly at times, the visuals follow suit with several different color palettes and light levels that range from attractive outdoor locales to dimly-lit and intimidating quarters. The good news is that Universal's Blu-ray handles everything quite well with strong image detail, texture, and black levels that feel deep without swallowing up everything else. Digital imperfections such as edge enhancement, noise, and excessive DNR could not be spotted along the way. Aside from the possibility of a future 4K release, Get Out won't look better on disc anytime soon.
DISCLAIMER: The still images and screen captures on this page are decorative and do not represent the Blu-ray under review.
Likewise, the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix has a great presence but is dialed back quite a bit during many stretches, which gives the film a wonderfully unpredictable sonic presence the first or second time through. Dialogue remains exceptionally crisp and clear from start to finish, with several well-placed uses of strong channel separation and low-frequency effects to amplify much of the suspense. Overall, it's an effective and crisp mix that, aside from a bump to Atmos or 7.1, is not likely to be improved in the near future. Optional English (SDH), French, and Spanish subtitles are included during the film and most of the bonus features.
Presented in Universal's typical no-frills style, the interface is smooth and well organized with separate options for chapter selection, audio/subtitle setup, and bonus features. This two-disc release (one Blu-ray, one DVD) is packaged in a dual-hubbed keepcase with a Digital Copy redemption code and a matching slipcover that's very similar to the original poster seen below.
While the lack of cast input is disappointing, a feature-length Audio Commentary with writer/director Jordan Peele delivers plenty of information and rarely lags along the way. Among other topics, Peele discusses motifs and background details, subverting horror clichés, foreshadowing and symbolism (ad nauseum), shooting the film in 23 days, the cast and their performances, CGI, viewing the film a second time, assembling the cast and crew, the liberal elite, Knights Templar, the red Alchemist Society, favorite characters and performances, practical effects, James Taylor, the Dharma Initiative, and much more. There's some great information here and very few lapses into silence, but a second participant would have definitely spiced things up a little bit.
Also included are 11 Deleted and Extended Scenes ("Rose Hypnosis", "Rutherford", "Badminton", "Sunken Place Deer" (seen below), "Detective Latoya", "Rod Arrival 1 - Sex Slave", "Rod Arrival 2 - Don't Give Up on Love", "Rod Arrival 3 - White Girls", "Rod Arrival 4 - Cousin Single", "Rod Arrival 5 - Bathroom", and "Rod Arrival 6 - Rose's Vote", 23 minutes total) and a substantially different Alternate Ending (4 minutes) that's more realistic but much less satisfying. Each includes optional commentary by Peele.
Finally, "Unveiling the Horror of Get Out" (9 minutes) offers a surface-level but enjoyable overview of the film's themes, structure, overall style, as well as comparisons to earlier films, while an all-too-brief Q&A Session (5 minutes) gives Peele and cast members Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, and Lil Rel Howery a short time to speak more about their contributions.
Densely layered and wildly unpredictable, Jordan Peele's debut film Get Out is subversive slice of contemporary horror that dares its audience to connect every dot along the way. It's enjoyable for all the right reasons, serving up no shortage of twists and turns with strong performances that anchor a clever and often surreal story. While portions of the third act do manage to go a bit too far over the top, this is a minor strike against what's otherwise a supremely confident effort from first-time director known more for his comedy. Well received commercially and critically, Get Out makes a solid splash on Blu-ray as well, with a top-tier A/V presentation and a handful of mostly light but informative bonus features. Highly Recommended to fans and first-timers alike.

Blake Shelton Knows What to Do "When the Wine Wears Off"
https://www.blakeshelton.com/news/blake-shelton-knows-what-do-when-wine-wears-2671
Adam Levine, Luke Bryan, Brett Eldredge and More Share Congratulations on Texoma Shore
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (November 9, 2017) – Blake Shelton wrote and recorded Texoma Shore in his home state of Oklahoma alongside one of his favorite lakes. The album, which currently has a record-breaking six singles positioned on the Mediabase chart, arrived last week to the congratulations of Shelton's noteworthy friends including fellow The Voice coach Adam Levine as well as Luke Bryan, Brett Eldredge, RaeLynn and more. The first artist to have six singles on the airplay chart in County Aircheck history, Shelton's "I'll Name The Dogs" leads the pack as it climbs through the Top 10 this week.
Shelton explores the album as a whole, sharing: "You know when you put on Texoma Shore and start playing it, I think the first thing you notice after the first two, three, four songs is wow, this album, this guy singing these songs must be in a good place. I am, and I wanted my album to reflect where I am right now. I just felt like, coming out of the last album, I wanted to come out of that dark place and be happy again and be, you know, the guy that people know to be laughing all the time and having fun and cutting up.I think this album is a reflection of that and where I am right now and how good I feel and how confident I feel about where I am in my life."
His new song "When The Wine Wears Off" has Shelton, like many of his Texoma Shore tracks, at home with someone he loves. The twist on this Ashley Gorley, Rhett Akins, Ross Copperman-penned tune is that this time Shelton doesn't know if she loves him back.
"I love 'When The Wine Wears Off,'" explained Shelton. "It's one of those songs that I think we've probably at some point all been there, whether we were drinking or not, where you got wrapped up in the moment the night before and had something that you thought was incredible. There's always that thing in the back of my mind thinking, I wonder if this other person feels the same way I do about it. I just love it because it's so real."
"When The Wine Wears Off" pairs well with Texoma Shore's "At The House," "I Lived It," "Turnin' Me On," Money" and "Why Me," each of which made their world premieres with iHeartRadio other country stations last week. Shelton brought these songs and others to television leading up to album launch on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, TODAY, Late Night With Seth Meyers and LIVE with Kelly and Ryan. He performed select tracks from the album on release day in Nashville as part of his Pandora "Sounds Like Country" show.
The first country artist to win the all-genre Favorite Album category at the People's Choice Awards, Shelton earned a plethora of awards including People's Choice Award for Favorite Male Country Artist and Billboard Music Awards' Top Country Artist since the release of his last album, If I'm Honest. The project became the best-selling country album release in 2016 and provided multiple staples in Shelton's live show. Taking his multi-Platinum selling catalogue on the road, Shelton will kick off the "Country Music Freaks" tour in 2018 with a setlist chock-full of Texoma Shore alongside Brett Eldredge, Carly Pearce and special guest Trace Adkins.
