I learned this when, after the glue boo-boo, I Googled ‘Superglue accidents’ – and could hardly believe how many instances have been recorded of people doing awful things, either accidentally or on purpose, with the substance. |
Medical sites report that the worst accidents occur when people get superglue in their eyes while attempting to open a tube, but there other sites that actually offer ideas of how to use the substance to perform pranks such as putting the substance on toilet seats and door knobs. |
Factoid: Superglue was first marketed by in 1958 a few years after it was invented by an American called Harry Wesley Coover Jr who worked for the Eastman Kodak company. In 2010 he was awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation by the President Barack Obama. He tenaciously stuck to life until 2011, when he... |
Former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry failed a field sobriety test last night after a minor traffic incident, but was later released after passing a breathalyzer test at a police station. |
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said Mr. Barry, 70, was “escorted” to the First District police station in Southeast after failing a field sobriety test. |
“But he passed the breathalyzer test and was released,” said Officer Josh Aldiva, MPD spokesman. |
Mr. Barry had been involved in a traffic accident just after midnight, in which he pulled his Mercedes out of a parking space into the path of an oncoming Jeep Cherokee, according to a report by WRC-TV (Channel 4). |
Mr. Barry’s chief of staff, E. Faye Williams, confirmed that Mr. Barry had been involved in an accident, but was not aware of his failing a field sobriety test. |
“No one was injured. I’ve spoken with Mr. Barry and he’s at home, so he wasn’t arrested,” Ms. Williams said. |
The accident occurred near the 1000 block of 2nd Street SE, Ms. Williams said. |
BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts dry cleaning chain has announced it has filed for bankruptcy — leaving customers in the lurch with clothes still checked in at the chain’s various locations. |
Brockton-based Zoots says plans are being made to return customers’ garments on Friday as it announced it had filed for bankruptcy. An attorney representing the dry cleaner said an appointed trustee will oversee the transition, including returning customer’s property, and that the process is expected to take about a we... |
According to court records, Sort LLC — the chain’s parent company — filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Thursday. |
Zoots’ locations are spread throughout central and eastern Massachusetts, including stores in Worcester, Beverly, Attleboro and two locations in Wellesley. |
CHARLIE ADAM has more reason than most for wanting revenge on Wales next month at Hampden Park. |
A momentary lapse in concentration by the Stoke midfi elder allowed Gareth Bale to streak away from him and lash home the winner in a 2-1 World Cup qualifying defeat in October. |
But following Scotland’s 1-0 friendly victory over Estonia at Pittodrie in Gordon Strachan’s first game as manager, Adam believes they can climb off the bottom of Group A, starting with the Hampden battle on March 22. |
Adam said: “Cardiff still hurts, we should have won the game in Wales. A bad decision went against us. |
“We have only two points and we know it’s not good enough, but in the next couple of games we can put that right. |
A 21-year-old Pennsylvania man has been indicted on terror-related charges for allegedly using the Internet to encourage violence against Americans. |
Emerson Winfield Begolly, of New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was charged on July 14, 2011, with soliciting crimes of violence, including acts of terrorism, and with posting bomb-making materials online. |
Begolly had been arrested on January 4, 2011, and charged the next day with assaulting FBI agents and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence. After two FBI agents approached Begolly, he allegedly reached for a concealed loaded gun in his jacket and bit both FBI officers, drawing blood. |
Begolly had been an active member of several jihadist forums, where he posted comments and various multimedia. He identified himself as a Muslim in his posts and pontificated on a range of issues, often praising acts of violence and expressing his "desire to be a martyr." Many of his messages were explicitly anti-Semit... |
As a moderator on the Ansar al-Mujahideen English Forum (AMEF), a popular jihadist forum where members post and exchange extremist propaganda, media, publications, information and news, Begolly posted comments calling for attacks on U.S. targets, "such as police stations, post offices, synagogues, military facilities, ... |
In another post, he wrote, "Let your voice speak forever, write your autobiography with blood." |
In December 2010, writing under one of his pseudonyms, Begolly posted a 101-page instruction manual on bomb-making. He also posted security and operational warnings, instructing his readers to maintain their anonymity when downloading the manual by not saving it to their computers. |
The government's evidence against Begolly includes photos recovered from his computer, one of which shows him dressed in camouflage, holding a grenade and wearing a Shahada (Islamic declaration of faith) head band. Begolly previously posted several pictures of himself on his MySpace page dressed as a Nazi. |
The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Neil McBride, asserted that the allegations against Begolly "demonstrate how young people in the United States can become influenced by – and eventually participate in – jihadist propaganda that is a serious threat to the safety of us all." |
Begolly faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of the new charges, and life imprisonment if convicted of the earlier charges. |
Begolly, who was active on several jihadist forums, used various aliases online, including Asadullah Alshishani, Abu Nancy, Goat Lee and Goatly. Begolly also communicated with others by instant message. Some of these conversations, which Federal investigators were able to recover, demonstrate Begolly's militancy and bi... |
During the recovered conversations, Begolly said "if america were not at war with islam i would not hate it but i am angry." He said that if he were to "act now," he would "go down like [Oklahoma City bomber Timothy] McVeigh" and asked "have you ever considered shooting up ur schooling and taking revenge on those who w... |
Some of Begolly's forum posts were praised online by other extremists, including Zachary Chesser. Chesser himself had an extensive online history before he was arrested in July 2010 for attempting to travel to Somalia and join the Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group Al Shabaab. |
Many of Begolly's most popular messages took the form of nasheeds (Islamic songs), which were circulated by others on various jihadist forums. For example, a moderator of the Al Shabaab affiliated Al Qimmah forum described Begolly as "The Nasheed Master" and dedicated an English translation of an Urdu language nasheed ... |
A nasheed in honor of Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, an Iraqi man who carried out a suicide attack in Sweden in December 2010, was posted on Al Shumukh, an Al Qaeda-linked message board. The lyrics of the chorus read, "Grab my gun and my ammo, Strap my kamarband onto my chest, Get dressed up in my camo, Martyrdom is wha... |
In a nasheed praising Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Begolly sang to bin Laden, "You fight AmeriKKKa, And terrorize the Jews, You slay the murtadeen [apostates], And blow up the Hindus." |
In response to the Israeli naval operation to stop a flotilla of ships en route to Gaza in May 2010, Begolly wrote and recorded a nasheed in tribute to the "Activists Who were Martyred, Wounded, and Imprisoned at the Hands of the Zionist Pigs." The song, which is entitled "When the Jew's blood reds my knife, then my li... |
A nasheed titled "A Tribute to the Self-Sacrificing Mujahideen" was posted on the official Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades message board. In the nasheed, which discussed the feeling of leaving home to join the mujahideen, Begolly sang "I desire to be a martyr." |
In a nasheed in tribute to Al Qaeda leader Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, Begolly sang "And I pray, For the day, O that day, When I'm killed as a Fidaye [commando]." The nasheed was posted on Al Qimmah, an Al Shabaab-linked message board. |
On the Al Shabaab linked Al-Qimmah forum, Begolly posted an hour-long tape of nasheeds and stories from the "Jihad in Bosnia." |
In a tribute to Abu Umar al-Baghdadi (believed to be Hamid Dawud Muhammad Khalil al-Zawi) and Abu Hamza al-Muhajir (better known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri), both key members of Al Qaeda in Iraq who were killed in 2010, Begolly wrote "Like lions you hunted the kuffar and killed them, and like poachers they slaughtered you B... |
"Peaceful protests do not work. The kuffar [infidels] see war as solution to their problems, so we must see war as the solution to our[s]. No peace. But bullets, bombs and martyrdom operations." |
There is only one life, let it be spend in the service of Allah. And there is only one death, let it be for the sake of Allah." |
"Who are the best targets? Off duty police, off duty soldiers, gang member, family members of soldiers, government agents, workers at ammunition factory, white supremacists or black supremacists. It is best if targeting soldiers or police that they are off duty and out of uniform simply because they investigations will... |
"A successful lone-wolf attack, when even kills 1 or 2 or 3 of the kuffar [infidels] is BETTER THAN an UNSUCCESSFUL massive attack which also results in your own arrest…" |
"Allahs commands us to fight the kuffar as they have fought us. Remember 9/11, 7/7, Madrid and Beslan." |
"Let your voice speak forever, write your autobiography with blood" |
"Why terrorize the average Americans? BECAUSE ALLAH COMMANDS US TO TERRORIZE THEM. They terrorize us. Let the[m] wake up to the horrors of war and the reality of death that they would otherwise not ever know just sitting at home stuffing their fat faces watching TV." |
"Our religion tells us, and example has shown to us, YES to is halal [permissible] to deliberately target civilians in Jihadi operations carried out in Dar-ul-Kuffar [land of the infidels]." |
Begolly pleaded guilty to solicitation of acts of terrorism and weapons charges. |
It is incredibly important for YouTube to publicly explain why their technology continues to allow channels and videos that promote white supremacy. |
ADL and coalition partners encouraged Congressional leaders to help pass a bipartisan resolution opposing the BDS movement and reaffirming support for a two-state solution. |
President Trump wrote on Twitter that Israel should have full sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which Israel seized from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War. Peace talks between Syria and Israel have continued on and off since Israel unilaterally annexed the area in 1981, a move which was not recognized internationally... |
"After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel's Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!" Mr. Trump wrote. The tweet could boost Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, a strong international... |
Netanyahu quickly expressed his thanks for Mr. Trump's tweet. |
"At a time when Iran seeks to use Syria as a platform to destroy Israel, @POTUS Trump boldly recognizes Israeli sovereignty in the Golan Heights. Thank you President Trump!" The official prime minister's Twitter page wrote. |
Netanyahu faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust from Israel's attorney general. He is dining with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo this week. |
The president's tweet represents a departure from U.S. policy, which has for years referred to the territory seized by Israel from Syria over 50 years ago as the "Israeli-occupied Golan Heights." This is the way it was characterized in the State Department's 2017 Human Rights Report. In the recently released 2018 repor... |
While Pompeo said this was "not a change in U.S. policy," he also specified that the language used in the Human Rights Report was used "with great intentionality." |
He told reporters traveling with him in Jerusalem that the language was "there for a reason" and stressed that "it wasn't a mistake; it wasn't an error. It was done knowingly and we believe we have the most factual actual description that was appropriate for the report." |
After Israel first seized the Golan Heights in 1967, Israeli citizens almost immediately began settling in the area. Syria unsuccessfully tried to retake the territory in 1973. The two countries signed an armistice in 1974, and United Nations forces have been in place in the area ever since. |
There are more than 30 Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights, according to the BBC, and roughly 20,000 Syrians still living in the area. |
Mr. Trump has maintained close ties with Israel since taking office. He recognized Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, and the Trump administration moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem in May. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is in charge of brokering a peace deal between Israel and Palestine. |
Former U.S. envoy to Syria Fred Hof told CBS News that this is short term political play that long term hurts the region. |
"A new flurry of reports suggesting Israel may formally annex the occupied Golan Heights is music to the ears of Bashar al-Assad, a mass murderer who would welcome a decisive change of subject from his own criminality to what he will characterize as Israel's theft of Syrian land," Hof said. |
He also argued that the move would not deter Iran, but instead bolster their support of terrorist group Hezbollah. |
"Among the delighted will be Iran and Hezbollah, whose resistance pretensions will be gratuitously elevated above their sewer of transnational terror, drug running, and money laundering," Hof continued. |
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, wrote on Twitter that he supported recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and that he and Sen. Ted Cruz would introduce a proposal to do so in the Senate. |
Mike Pence Refused To Call David Duke “Deplorable.” In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence -- Trump's running mate -- refused to call former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke "deplorable." |
WOLF BLITZER (HOST): There are some supporters of Donald Trump and Mike Pence who -- David Duke, for example, some other white nationalists -- who would fit into that category of deplorables, right? |
GOV. MIKE PENCE: As I’ve told you last time I was on, I'm not really sure why the media keeps dropping David Duke's name. Donald Trump has denounced David Duke repeatedly. We don't want his support and we don't want the support of people who think like him. |
BLITZER: Well, you would call him a deplorable? You would call him deplorable? |
Of course, I'm "deplorable" according to media, Hillary and the rest of the neoCommies and NeoCons, I defend white people from their hate! |
Is Pence a secret shitlord? I dunno. Probably not. |
But you have to salute his obstinate refusal to cuck, here. |
Trump chose a solid guy to back him up, it seems. |
A lot of career politicians would have panicked at this kind of question and reflexively gone full-cuck. He maintained his composure, all things considered. |
Yeah, this comment is semi-cucky, but he’s just reflecting the message established earlier by Trump himself. Basically, he said he doesn’t want Duke’s endorsement. On the other hand when asked if he would support a Democrat running against Duke, Trump said “it would depend on the Democrat.” This enraged the liberals. |
After failing to get Pence to label Duke as “deplorable,” Duke’s name became a trending subject on Twitter lol. |
As of now, Duke is the #7 trending topic on the site. |
Rick Lazio, the New York Senate Republican nominee, was supposed to be the likable candidate. Then this week, at a debate in Buffalo, the Congressman morphed into a political predator. Darth Vader with dimples. A suburban Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Long Island Lex Luthor. Richard Hatch with clothes on. |
We're getting carried away. As did Mr. Lazio. He called Hillary Rodham Clinton ''shameless,'' and invaded her space, stalking across the stage waving a campaign finance pledge. When a question about her husband's affair with Monica Lewinsky left her looking as if she'd had the wind knocked out of her, Mr. Lazio eagerly... |
Mr. Lazio has got to know all this. But perhaps he feels he's so puppy-like, no one will notice he's been gnawing away on Mrs. Clinton's ankle. |
The debate began really well for the Congressman, whose mission was to show that he had some gravitas. He seemed aggressive, but not, you know, crazed. Mrs. Clinton was so much on the defense that at one point she resorted to saying that Mr. Lazio had ''chutzpah,'' a word that Midwestern Methodists should really try to... |
All of us have moments in our lives that we prefer not to recall even while cowering in a darkened closet. Mrs. Clinton's just happens to be stored in the files of every news bureau on the planet. |
After watching Mr. Russert's tape, she looked as if she had been sideswiped by a truck. This is a woman who delivers off-the-cuff remarks in long sentences filled with perfectly conjugated dependent clauses, none of them dangling. Her answer to Mr. Russert's question, however, contained 23 ''um's'' along with several '... |
The Lazio campaign has bought into the Clinton theory that Hillary wins if the race becomes about issues. But the Congressman was actually doing fine when he was attacking her record on health care and education reform in Arkansas. The truth is that Mrs. Clinton wins if the race is about her marriage, and loses if we w... |
But New York is a land of many great traditions, one of which is that our big Senate races should be very, very fierce battles that wind up focusing with laser-like intensity on something utterly meaningless. |

Work experience: After college, Pizitz lived in Boston for four years, working in a training program for retailer Jordan Marsh, which is now Macy's. He then moved back to Birmingham and got involved in his family's business. He has been president of Pizitz Management Group for about 10 years. |
Favorite fashion trend from over the years: The black and gray, contemporary, tailored, monotone looks from designers such as Armani. Sleek, sophisticated and elegant. |
And the trend he hopes to never see again? "The leisure suit was never something I could embrace." |
On his iPod: Pizitz describes himself as "musically inept." But he got an iPod Touch for Christmas and is learning how to download music. "I know I like country music a little," he said. |
It's been about 25 years since the Pizitz name adorned an area department store, but the family is still very much a part of metro Birmingham's retail scene. |
These days, their holdings -- specifically the upscale specialty store Gus Mayer -- are in the spotlight. |
Next month, the local store, known for carrying designer labels such as Isaac Mizrahi, Escada and Jason Wu, is moving from its longtime home at Colonial Brookwood Village to a new location at The Summit Birmingham. |
