Not everyone is a pick up artist and this star is still in the paint by numbers stage. |
Caitlyn Jenner is left feeling out of her depth as she is pushed into chatting to men in a sneak peak of I Am Cait released Friday. |
The 66-year-old only recently opened up about the possibility of dating men but in an upcoming episode she is thrown into the deep end of the pool - and she seems to sink far more than she swims. |
In the clip, Caitlyn and her crew head to a bar in Chicago where Candis Cayne and Zachary Drucker spy a group of men but Caitlyn is far from happy. |
Somehow persuaded to at least talk to a man, Cait strikes up a conversation with Joe at the hotel bar and it certainly does not come close to flirting. |
Reduced to £301 at Stylebop! |
I am Cait is back for a second series, and if this sneak peak is anything to go by, it's set to be a good one! |
In this scene, Caitlyn is looking more stylish than ever rocking a Moschino tape print jumper dress. |
Tape measures featured heavily in Moschino's Pre-Fall 2015 collection, which this dress is part of. We love the statement fun motif which is a signature of creative director Jeremy Scott. |
And the good news is this dress is now in the sale at Stylebop, reduced to $570! Click right to nab yourself a designer discount now. |
Or for more choice, check out our edit of black and yellow dresses in the carousel below, including picks from Vesper, WOW Couture, Alice + Olivia and another pick from Moschino. |
The clearly uncomfortable Caitlyn proceeds to eat through their awkward interaction where she shakes his hand and only asks him how he makes a buck. |
Deciding that the whole thing is too much too soon, Caitlyn leaves without saying goodbye leaving Joe sitting at the table with the other ladies. |
Candis - who Cait once seemed to get a little flirtatious with - says that Cait needs to learn the game a bit better. |
Caitlyn, despite having been married three times to women, has previously said she would consider the idea of dating men. |
I Am Cait airs on E! on Sunday nights at 9pm. |

In the News and On the Air: A Time for Patience Today on Morning E-dition: Impatience on Afghanistan; "arrogance" and "stupidity" in Iraq? What Obama is thinking. |
U.S. Ambassador Ronald Neumann was in Kabul, speaking about the reconstruction of Afghanistan and the long-running war against the Taliban. |
He told Morning Edition's Renee Montagne, "We've achieved a lot because we're impatient, but impatience is also what leads a child to walk away from a complicated project and leave it half-done. We've got to choose maturing patience." |
Five years after the start of the fighting, Americans may not be the only ones "impatient" over Afghanistan. |
A former top British soldier, Field Marshal Sir Peter Inge, was quoted by the Observer newspaper saying, "I don't believe we have a clear strategy in either Afghanistan or Iraq." |
An American diplomat sounded impatient over Iraq when he declared that the United States has acted with "arrogance and stupidity." |
Alberto Fernandez now says he "seriously misspoke." |
He was speaking in Arabic on the news channel al-Jazeera, which is part of his job: he's involved in public diplomacy, improving the U.S. image abroad. |
When his comments were translated back into English, officials first suggested there had been a mistake. |
But viewers in Baghdad included NPR's Jamie Tarabay, an Arabic speaker who tells us that Ambassador Fernandez' comment was not scrambled. He really said it. |
The debate over Iraq has scrambled American politics, according to NPR's Cokie Roberts. |
Democrats have a chance to win Congress this fall largely because of discontent over Iraq, but if they win, it will be "impossible" for them to govern effectively, because "they will not have won on something that is party-building." |
Republicans, she says, also blew their opportunity to campaign on something positive. |
In this midst of this campaign, Sen. Barack Obama sent a signal about the next campaign -- for the Presidency in 2008. |
"I have thought about it." |
The Illinois Democrat was speaking to NBC about running for President. |
In an interview with NPR's Michele Norris last week, Obama said he is "constantly asking" himself if he could "be useful" in higher office. |
The political celebrity added that he has been at "serious risk of overexposure for the last two years." |
If he thinks he was overexposed before, just wait. |
Peter Klett used his guitar talent to climb to the top of the 90’s music scene with the band Candlebox. With a multi-platinum debut album and five top-ten hits, he was living his dream. |
“I craved that thrill of playing the songs live and loud and it sounds good and there’s people there and the interaction from your guys and the people. It’s cool. It’s a really, really thrilling, exciting thing to do,” says Pete. |
Although he came from a Christian home and even made a profession of faith as a young man, the trappings of the rock n’ roll lifestyle proved overpowering. |
“Most of my career I was usually stoned or at least drinking, buzzed and pot was an integral part of my guitar,” says Pete. |
The 700 Club’s Andrew Knox recently sat down to talk with Pete about his faith journey. |
“God ’s always been in the process of everything all the time. It’s just a matter of how much I listen or gave in and let him control the situation,” says Pete. |
In the fall of 2001 Pete got sober and the rewards of a new life pursuing God have been far beyond his expectations. |
A major part of Pete’s new life includes his two biggest fans, his wife Jessica and their daughter Averi. |
Today Pete is busy performing with two bands and has launched a solo career. When he’s not playing guitar he enjoys producing and being behind the scenes in the music business. He is thankful for the transformative work God has done in his life and he is quick to encourage others to give God a chance. |
If I Sin, Will I Lose My Salvation? |
TORONTO — BlackBerry shares closed below $10 for the first time since last year on Wednesday, a day after the smartphone maker’s chief executive encouraged investors to remain patient while the company navigates its recovery plan. |
The Waterloo, Ont.-based company’s stock ended the session down nearly four per cent, or 40 cents, to $9.80 at the Toronto Stock Exchange. |
The stock last closed below $10 on Nov. 20 and reached a 52-week high of $17.80 in January, around the time that its new smartphones were unveiled. |
BlackBerry has faced a heightened level of scrutiny since it posted quarterly results last month that fell short of analysts’ largely optimistic expectations. |
A growing sentiment between analysts has focused on whether BlackBerry will be able to successfully recover from its past blunders any time soon, particularly because even some of the industry’s most popular smartphone developers are running into headwinds. Both Samsung and HTC recently posted quarterly sales reports t... |
While Heins has hinted at products that could hit stores before the end of this year, the company hasn’t announced anything specific. It’s widely expected that the company will unveil a phablet — a smaller-sized tablet device — designed to fill the void left by its decision to no longer update the PlayBook. |
“They are wanting to launch products at a measured pace, but time is of the essence and we believe the company would be better served with shorter product cycles,” said Bill Kreher, a technology analyst with financial services firm Edward Jones in an interview. |
Pacific Crest analyst James Faucette said the high-end smartphone market is facing a point of “general saturation” that could weigh on BlackBerry’s attempt to gain a stronger position. |
The launch of the lower-priced BlackBerry Q5 smartphone in the UK has fallen short of expectations with sales of roughly 5,000 devices, according to Faucette’s checks with retailers. |
The numbers are not official and BlackBerry does not release specific sales figures for its devices. |
Faucette also said U.K. retailer Phones 4U has sent back their stock of Blackberry Z10 phones from “as many as a third” of its locations and doesn’t plan to stock it any longer. |
“We believe BlackBerry is at risk of similar behaviour from other retailers and in other regions in the coming quarters, which we believe would impede the company’s ability to regain scale,” he said in a note, with an underperform rating on the company. |
Emails to UK.. representatives of Phones 4U were not answered on Wednesday and a BlackBerry spokeswoman declined to comment on the matter. |
On Tuesday, Heins outlined BlackBerry’s strategy to become profitable once again at the company’s annual meeting. |
The three-stage plan included pushing ahead with new products yet to be unveiled, focusing more on corporate customers, and opening the BlackBerry Messenger service to competing devices like Apple’s iPhone and smartphones on the Android operating system later this summer. |
From there, Heins said the company aims to return to profitability, which he called the third stage of the plan, but he stopped short of predicting when that would happen. |
Sales of BlackBerry’s new smartphones in the United States have been considered underwhelming by analysts, and shareholders expressed their concerns on Tuesday about the company’s position in the highly-competitive U.S. market at the annual meeting. |
Last month, BlackBerry parted ways with Richard Piasentin, who was responsible for the management of its sales in the United States. The company is also working to save further costs throughout its operations. |

A little over one month ago, Jewish Twitter received a conspicuous new member: Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren (@AmbassadorOren). On his feed (which, he told me, he mostly writes himself), Oren shies from controversy, instead thanking various U.S. dignitaries for visiting or hosting him, linking to op-eds he’s publishe... |
Whether or not the question of Israeli diplomacy ought to be a particularly touchy subject, it is. So Oren’s joining Twitter—an unusually unmediated medium, if that makes sense—seemed a good time to ask him about the extent to which he sees conducting public diplomacy as his job; he responded in part with a history of ... |
Why did you join Twitter? I’m interested in the public diplomacy aspect of your job. |
I come to this job at a crucial juncture in the relationship between Israel and the United States. We face great challenges in getting our message across. Today there are few alternatives as far-reachng and effective, with very wide audiences and young audiences, as Twitter. Twitter is another tool that enables me to c... |
It’s also about listening. It’s a way that I learn what’s out there. And I get feedback, and that’s important. |
Can you think of any feedback that has made an impact on you? |
I’m following other people, like [U.N.] Ambassador [Susan] Rice. And Condoleeza Rice! Susan—her tweets are very illuminating. She’s handling some complicated issues, some of which impact Israel. |
My counterpart in Israel, Dan Shapiro—he’s used Twitter very effectively in getting a message across about the U.S.-Israel relationship across in all its multiple facets. |
Don’t take this the wrong way but … who writes your feed? |
Mostly me. I’m blessed with a very young staff, who are very adept at this. I had to come in and learn this. Being a person who writes 800-page books to one who writes 140-character tweets, it’s like going from the Iliad to a fortune cookie. |
Some people mix it up on Twitter. One example who comes to mind is your colleague, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, who has gotten into spats with U.S. journalists. Is this the type of thing you could see yourself doing? |
Being ambassador isn’t your first foray into representing the Israeli government. Didn’t you serve in the IDF in a similar capacity? |
Well I was a paratrooper for many years. When I reached my dottage in IDF terms, they offered—I’d already been doing television and writing, so I was familiar with American media. They offered me to be spokesman for the IDF in reserve duty. During the Second Lebanon War and during the Gaza operation in 2008, I served a... |
Is your experience as IDF spokesman something you draw on in this job? |
The major difference is, when you’re in the army you’re talking about one issue, and that’s a military issue. In this job, you’re dealing with strategic and military aspects but also commercial, diplomatic, spiritual, inter-communal facets of the U.S.-Israel relationship. Both the opportunities and challenges are immen... |
One thing that highlighted for me the fact that your job has different aspects—both as emissary of one government to another and as a public diplomat—was the recent 60 Minutes to-do, in which you requested to air the Israeli government’s position on a segment about Israel’s treatment of Christians in the West Bank. |
For close to half a century, the job of ambassador has also been to engage in the media—going back to the Sixties. The great change in the role of ambassador probably occurred in World War II. |
Well, you’re a historian, tell me what brought about the change. |
My official title is ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary—great word. That goes back to the Renaissance, when you’d get on a boat for two months and arrive. ‘Extraordinary’ meant there was only one of them, ‘plenipotentiary’ meant he made the decisions for the government. |
But the ambassadorial role changed, in very interesting and dynamic ways. He remained extraordinary, but the plenipotentiary role changed—because now the two governments can pick up the phone and talk to each other. In addition to his or her other diplomatic duties, the ambassador was now in charge of reaching out to v... |
What’s Ambassador Oren doing to prevent his witless boss from completely torching the relationship with the United States? |
Hi Marc, Great article. If public diplomacy is of particular interest to you, here at the USC Center on Public Diplomacy we’d love to have you write or take a look at our blog. Some of my particular interests are in public diplomacy as it relates to Israel and the Middle East. Hope you’ll check it out! http://www.uscpu... |
An aerial shot of Dunluce Castle from Tarquin Blake's latest book, 'Exploring Ireland's Castles' by the Collins Press. |
AX breaks for building? Pshaw. Nothing new under the sun. |
We’ve been doing it for years, centuries even, in Ireland. Five hundred years ago, a statute issued by Henry VI allowed £10 for every fortified tower built here, as he tried to keep the quarrelsome Irish at bay. |
That £10 back then equates to €60,000 today, and as a result of this subsidy, up to 7,000 tower houses were built. The countryside was all but littered in them. |
We became the most castellated country in Europe, by the 16th century, even if most were squat structures, and almost windowless, (clearly, there was no grant for aluminium windows in the 12th century). That fascinating historical snippet is offered up in writer, historian and photographer Tarquin Blake’s latest, lush ... |
Now, a photo book on Irish castles might be expected to be of variable quality, and the less-successful example might quickly stack the shelves of visitor centres up and down the country, at knock-down prices. It’s an obvious market, right? |
But, with Tarquin Blake, and in this 220-page book we’re in good hands. As the author and snapper of Abandoned Mansions of Ireland 1 and 2, (as well as the creator/curator of the moody archive that is www.abandonedireland.com) he’s as sharp with a camera as he is with a pithy observation, historical oversight or the co... |
If you were to visit any of the 36 Irish castles he features in this fresh and informative book, Blake is the guy you’d want along to dish the dirt and the scandal (or the praise), of the people who commissioned, created and celebrated Irish castles and endured lives and turbulent times within their ancient stone walls... |
