Parisian night life was characterized by personal freedom, a revolution of fashion, luxurious parties, theater shows, and jazz music – people lived luminous lives and knew how to have fun. The 2014 Suenos de Dali leveraged the defining elements of Parisian night life in the 1920’s with a modern twist. The soiree entertained the combined identities of two extraordinary cultures as guests revel in the décor and fashion that defined the Spanish and Parisian night life from different eras.
The University of Kentucky public relations office sent a care pacakge to the 401st. Thanks, Widlcats!
About the 401st:
The 401st Army field Support Brigade provides Soldiers, Sailors, Airman, and Marines, the tools and resources necessary to complete the mission. If they shoot, drive it, fly it, wear it, eat it or communicate with it, the 401st helps provide it. The brigade assists coalition partners with many of their logistical and sustainment needs. The brigade also handles the responsible disposition of equipment in Afghanistan to support evolving missions. We are the single link between Warfighters in the field, and working through Army Sustainment Command, we leverage Army Materiel Command’s worldwide Materiel Enterprise to develop, deliver, and sustain materiel to ensure a dominant joint force for the U.S. and our Allies.

The risers for the stage in the Hilton just weren't tall enough. But the panel was GREAT fun.
Wil Wheaton is going to return as Chaos in "The Ho Ho Ho Job", and they told us that John Rogers has written a Rashomon-like episode where it turns out that the gang has met before (they were all after the same thing at the same time... they just didn't know it).

Paula Broadwell & Peter Jesella May 9th 2012, at Marine Memorial Association San Francisco book event. Paula Broadwell accepted 30-pages of info about my 30-year advocacy of former House of Representatives bill that would have leveraged the registration requirement of the Selective Service System into a more positive than negative feedback loop. Shown is cover page photos of me with various leaders from the Pentagon –when taken-, included was letters from Leon Panetta from Oct 27, 1982 and Oct 12, 1993 on benefits of this comprehensive designed House bill towards balancing the Federal budget, the future cost-effective impact of the internet creating even greater efficiencies for the Corporation for National and Community Service.
From: “Official: Harassing emails led to FBI probe” By KIMBERLY DOZIER and PETE YOST | Associated Press – news.yahoo.com/official-harassing-emails-led-fbi-probe-21...
Selected quotes:
“As a military intelligence officer in the Army Reserve, Broadwell had a high security clearance, which she mentioned at public events as one of the reasons she was well suited to write Petraeus's story.” --
“Her best-selling biography, "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus," was written with Vernon Loeb, a Washington Post editor, and published in January. Since Petraeus's resignation on Friday, the book jumped from a ranking on Amazon of 76,792 on Friday to 111 by mid-Saturday.” --
“In the preface to her book, Broadwell said she first met Petraeus in the spring of 2006. She was a graduate student at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard; he was visiting the university to discuss his experiences in Iraq and a new counterinsurgency manual he was working on.
She had graduated from West Point with academic, fitness, and leadership honors, according to a biography posted on her publisher's website that lists authors available for speaking engagements.
Harvard invited some students to meet with Petraeus, and Broadwell was among them because of her military background, which she wrote included being recalled to active duty three times to work on counterterrorism issues after the Sept. 11 attacks.
After Obama put Petraeus in charge in Afghanistan in 2010, Broadwell decided to expand her research into an authorized biography.” –
“CIA officers long had expressed concern about Broadwell's unprecedented access to the director. She frequently visited the spy agency's headquarters in Langley, Va., to meet Petraeus in his office, accompanied him on his punishing morning runs around the CIA grounds and often attended public functions as his guest, according to two former intelligence officials. --
In one incident that caught CIA staff by surprise, Broadwell posted a photograph on her Facebook page of Petraeus with actress Angelina Jolie, taken in his 7th floor office where only the official CIA photographer is permitted to take photos. Petraeus had apparently given Broadwell the photo just hours after it was taken.” --
“Broadwell has deep ties and friendships throughout the Washington media sphere and often was sought for comment on Petraeus' viewpoints as he proved harder and harder to reach.” --
Wow I wonder if this event might be used by me Peter Jesella to leverage a little attention towards my 30-year dream summarized into a 12 word, three part theme of : National {economic-individual} Security, Educational {decision-making} Democracy, and Constructive {sweat-equity} Citizenship. Now that would be a strange twist of events.
