== Dems- Look, over there, a messy budget fight ==

<html>Pitched debates loom on the government's budget and its debt -- never flattering endeavors that in recent years have sunk the nation's credit rating and Congress' popularity.
 At least those debacles made both parties look bad. For Democrats,[http://www.juquu.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=383542 Beauty Test Drive- Mor Lip Macaron Lip Balm], that's a reprieve from the political turmoil President Barack Obama stirred with his on-off bid to get Congress to get behind the missile strike he wanted to launch against Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons in a civil war.
 As Obama looked to the United Nations to save him from a rejection by Congress,[http://www.bjtwxh.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=294755 ], Democrats urged Americans to look instead at Republican infighting.
 One issue is whether to use the threat of a government shutdown to torpedo Obama's health care law just as its biggest impacts are about to be felt. Another point of contention is whether to raise the nation's debt ceiling, a reminder of the 2011 standoff that brought the nation to the brink of default.
 And then there are the automatic spending cuts and their burden on key Democratic constituencies -- women, minorities and young people -- in addition to the military's budget.
 On all of those subjects roiling Republicans, Democrats see a political gain in blaming the GOP. Not so Obama's muddled Syria policy.
 The president pulled back from what many believed were imminent retaliatory strikes to give Congress exactly the approval power lawmakers claimed after the White House's hard sell failed to attract support from the public or even a majority of his own party's House members. Only 16 Democratic senators and 14 Democratic House members were solidly in favor of his plan for limited strikes.
 Russia's proposal for Syria to surrender its chemical weapons and avoid a U.S. military strike offered Obama a way out. Democrats eagerly pivoted back to their agenda. In public and private,[http://wiki.studiebyen.no/Bruker:Usvjvigx3#Congress_to_take_federal_budget_conversation_behind_closed_d Congress to take federal budget conversation behind closed d], they reminded Americans and themselves of the party's economic and educational agenda.
 "If the Russia deal is a real deal,[http://rdled.54it.cn/blog/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=953571 Washington résumé ‘enhancement’ habits strike again], I think this evaporates very quickly" as an election issue, Rep. Steve Israel,[http://patapon.tyz.ru/patapedia/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Rnjzfozvv5#High_school_majorette_Audra_Lewis_doubles_as_kicker_for_foot High school majorette Audra Lewis doubles as kicker for foot], a New York Democrat who chairs his party's campaign arm in the House, said Tuesday at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast.</html>

== Stork detained by Egyptian authorities for spying found dead ==

<html>CAIRO // A stork once detained by Egyptian authorities on suspicion of being a winged spy has been found dead.
Mahmoud Hassib,[http://www.dlxlc.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=150584 ], the head of Egypt's southern protected areas,[http://www.dlxlc.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=150584 ], said Saturday that residents found the dead bird on an island in the Nile, south of the ancient city of Aswan.
In August,[http://www.dlxlc.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=150584 ], a resident found the stork in Egypt's Qena governorate,[http://www.npdx.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=774305&fromuid=74835 Photos- Making of Harry Potter studio tour in England], some 450 kilometres southeast of Cairo. Both he and police were suspicious of the European wildlife tracker found on it. Authorities later let the bird go.
However, controversy trails the bird into death. An Egyptian wildlife organisation claimed on its Facebook page the bird was "eaten by local villagers". Hassib denied that the bird had been eaten,[http://bht.d-concept-online.de/se/index.php/Benutzer:Sffhgeait3#.27Duck_Dynasty.27_Star_Sadie_Says_Dresses_Should_Be_.27Daddy 'Duck Dynasty' Star Sadie Says Dresses Should Be 'Daddy], though he didn't know an exact cause of death.</html>

== Jimmy Fallon ‘|Joking Bad’| Sketch Features Bryan ==

<html>and it looks like Fallon is working overtime to pay tribute to the show before it goes off the air.
The Joking Bad sketch clocked in at around 13 minutes last night and contained several classic moments from the hit AMC series.
Check out the sketch above before you read some of the best moments of Joking Bad.
Jimmy Fallon breaks bad after he s told that he only has 6 months left on the Late Show.
Steve Higgins plays Aaron Paul s character Jesse and clearly enjoys that he gets to call everyone he sees a bitch.
The sketch also features the first funny thing that Jay Leno has done in years. His performance as Hector Salamanca is amazing. Seriously, look at Jay s face. He absolutely nails that comedic murderous revenge look.
The best part of the sketch has to be Bryan Cranston throwing a pizza at Jimmy Fallon. If you didn t know, there s a famous scene where Walter White throws a pizza out of frustration. It s famous because it s hilarious and because Cranston managed to get the entire pizza up onto the roof of the house in one take. His pizza tossing abilities weren t at full force on Joking Bad but it was still a great moment.
What was your favorite part of Joking Bad? Breaking Bad will be coming to end this summer but some of the characters will live on in a new show .</html>

== ‘My future is here’ says Gary Rhodes after suc ==

<html>One of the UK s most celebrated chefs, Gary Rhodes, has quietly spent the last three weeks in the kitchen at Rhodes 44, the latest restaurant to bear his name at the newly opened St Regis Abu Dhabi. With a checked tea cloth tucked into his waistband and his sleeves rolled up, Rhodes, who has six Michelin stars to his name and won his first at the age of 26, is evidently busy but relaxed. The chef s chef has set up home in the UAE as he launches his third restaurant here in six years.  I d like to think that my future is here. I love it, he says, comparing the buzz of Abu Dhabi and Dubai with the more depressed economic mood in London where Rhodes first made his name. The menu at Rhodes 44 reflects his talent for re-imagining classic British food; here that means using Arabic seasonings to spice up more traditional fare. Dishes for dinner at Rhodes 44, which is also open for breakfast and lunch, include parsnip and date soup, homemade steak and kidney dumplings,[http://tiewoba.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=20039 ], seared sumac and pistachio king prawns with tahini sauce, a popular mixed grill and sticky toffee pudding. I have collected endless cookery books of Arabic cuisine, he says. I try to add my personality. There is not a more passionate advocate of British food, which is perhaps why he has cooked for Diana, princess of Wales,[http://www.50g.cc/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=307970&fromuid=29930 Chicago Bears- Better tackling will be key against Adrian Peterson and Minnesota], prime ministers and presidents,[http://dabao1989.web.17.shhuanli.com/upload2.5/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=127531 March honoring late rapper broken up with pepper spray], and will fly to Kuala Lumpur next month at the invitation of the British embassy to cook for up to 1,000 dignitaries.  I love the pressure ... You have to cook like an idiot all night, he says of the exhausting 48-hour long process. His reward? I like screaming and shouting about British cooking. Rhodes 44 is set to launch a British dish of the day and shepherd s pie will be on the menu. How do you make the familiar special? With love and affection, he jokes,[http://wiki.filmomania.biz/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Ykijpbxk4#Delivery_of_cannabis_by_mail_leads_to_three_arrests Delivery of cannabis by mail leads to three arrests], before adding that the lamb will be braised very, very slowly . Forget mince and a dash of Worcester Sauce. Now in his 50s, with greying hair neatly shorn of its once-distinctive spikes, he chats happily and with great enthusiasm about food but says that he has mellowed with age. He s no longer a fierce critic when he goes out to eat something that he does a lot to unwind, he tells me: The food has to be really bad for me not to enjoy my evening. I go out to enjoy the people I am with. He won t be pressed into revealing his favourite local restaurants but admits he is yet to find a really good Italian . When at home,[http://tiewoba.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=20039 ], though, it is his wife who does most of the cooking. I can t beat her roasts, he says.</html>

== Facebook draws FTC scrutiny over latest changes to privacy p ==

<html>latest effort to revise its privacy policy has drawn the scrutiny of federal regulators,[http://www.reuthernet.de/wiki/index.php/Benutzer:Ieyeexfkn9#Jim_Furyk_Shoots_6th Jim Furyk Shoots 6th], who are reviewing the proposed changes to see if they comply with a 2011 legal settlement that resulted from an earlier government investigation.The social networking company says it hasn't changed the meaning of its policy, but only wants to revise some of the language to explain more clearly how it uses members' information for such purposes as targeted advertising.Privacy watchdogs have blasted the new language, which the company released Aug. 29, by saying it appears to give Facebook more leeway to use individual members' names, profile pictures and other information in the ads that it shows to other people on the social network.After a U.S. senator, Massachusetts Democrat Edward Markey, voiced those concerns in a letter to the Federal Trade Commission this week, an FTC spokesman confirmed Thursday that his agency is looking into the matter, although it has not opened a formal investigation.A key element of the controversy centers on Facebook's proposal to eliminate a section of its member "rights and responsibilities" document that now says: "You can use your privacy settings to limit how your name and profile picture may be associated with commercial, sponsored or related content."Facebook is proposing to start that section by saying: "You give us permission" to use a variety of information in advertising or other messages. It adds: "If you have selected a specific audience for your content or information, we will respect your choice when we use it."Critics say the new language lets Facebook assume that members have given their permission by default,[http://patapon.tyz.ru/patapedia/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Kdbgivyz0#Life_Inside_Somalia.27s_Refugee_Camps Life Inside Somalia's Refugee Camps], unless they change their privacy settings. The new document also eliminates a direct link to the privacy settings page on Facebook's website.In addition, privacy groups complain the new policy tells minors that if they're on Facebook,[http://www.feue.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=9726 Oberholtzer slips, Astros beaten by Angels 6], the company assumes a parent or guardian has approved letting Facebook use the minor's name, photo or other information.Some critics have raised concerns about a third change that says Facebook can apply its facial recognition software to a member's profile photo, so the software can identify the person in other pictures and suggest a caption or "tag" with the member's name.Facebook says the new language is partly aimed at complying with a legal settlement in a recent class-action lawsuit, in which members complained that Facebook used their names or photos in ads without their consent. Without admitting wrongdoing in that case,[http://www.pjqsnhdzx.com/plus/view.php?aid=876467 Nasty Gal Founder Sophia Amoruso To Pen Awesome Bu], Facebook agreed to pay $20 million and more clearly explain to members how it uses their information.But Markey and other critics say the changes may violate the company's 2011 agreement with the FTC, which requires Facebook to obtain members' permission before changing how it uses their information.In a statement Thursday, Facebook said: "We take these issues very seriously and are confident that our policies are fully compliant with our agreement with the FTC."Contact Brandon Bailey at 408-920-5022; follow him at Twitter.com/BrandonBailey.<br><br><br>&nbsp,[http://chngmo.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=188069 Bid for R.G.
