They could not be more different films. But the mind-boggling special effects extravaganza Avatar, the low-key British drama An Education and the gritty Iraq movie The Hurt Locker lead the way in the Bafta shortlists released today.
All three films received eight nominations for awards which will be presented in a month's time at the Royal Opera House. After that, the most nominations – seven – went to the South African sci-fi film District 9, with Inglourious Basterds and Up in the Air receiving six each.
The BBC film An Education, Nick Hornby's adaptation of the journalist Lynn Barber's memoir of how, as a teenager, she was seduced by a well-off predatory scoundrel, is nominated in both the best film and best British film categories. Its star, Carey Mulligan, is up for best actress and Alfred Molina, who plays her buttoned-up father, is shortlisted for best supporting actor. The other nominations are for best director (Lone Scherfig), best adapted screenplay, best costume design, and best makeup and hair.
It will contest the best film slot with Avatar, The Hurt Locker, Up in the Air, and the much-praised account of a young girl's horrible life in Harlem, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire.
In the best British film category, the other nominations are Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank, Sam Taylor-Wood's John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy, Armando Iannucci's In The Loop and Duncan Jones's Moon which last year won the best British independent film award.
The former married couple James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow will contest separately the best director category along with Quentin Tarantino and – wouldn't this be a surprise – the South African Neill Blomkamp for District 9.
In the best actress category, Mulligan will be up against Meryl Streep for Julie & Julia, Audrey Tatou for Coco Before Chanel, 15-year-old Saoirse Ronan for The Lovely Bones, and Gabourey Sidibe, the lead in Precious.
For best actor, Andy Serkis is nominated for his warts-and-all portrayal of Ian Dury in Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll. He is up against Jeremy Renner for The Hurt Locker, George Clooney for Up in the Air, Jeff Bridges – who won a Golden Globe this week – for Crazy Heart and Colin Firth for his portrayal of a gay lecturer in A Single Man.
Kristin Scott Thomas, who played Lennon's aunt in Nowhere Boy, and Anne-Marie Duff, who played the singer's mother, will face each other in the best supporting actress category along with Mo'Nique in Precious and two stars from Up in the Air, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick.
The Bury-born British actor Christian McKay is nominated in the best supporting actor category for his portrayal of Orson Welles in Me and Orson Welles. He is up against Alec Baldwin for It's Complicated, Stanley Tucci for The Lovely Bones and Christoph Waltz for his film-stealing portrayal of an unhinged Nazi in Inglourious Basterds.
The Baftas, now positioned before the Oscars in March, also has a category for an outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer. This year's winner will come from Taylor-Wood, Stuart Hazeldine for Exam, Eran Creevy for Shifty, Duncan Jones – the son of David Bowie – for Moon and the four directors and producers of Mugabe and the White African.
In the foreign film category Michael Haneke's Palme d'Or-winning The White Ribbon competes with Jacques Audiard's A Prophet, Pedro Almodóvar's Broken Embraces, Anne Fontaine's Coco Before Chanel and Swedish vampire movie Let the Right One In, directed by Tomas Alfredson.

I'd like to pose a simple question to the fellow enthusiasts out there – Supercar roadsters. Yay or Nay? While pondering the streets near Harajuku, one of Tokyo's popular fashion districts, the unmistakable roar of an Italian V-12 approaching my direction caused me to quickly grab my camera out and snap a picture of it as it roared past. It also caused me to start thinking about the commonly debated topic.
Chopping off the roof of a car means the engineers need to find different ways to keep the front and rear of the cars from becoming a jumbled mess that simply flops around from the lack of rigidity. Torsion and flexural stiffening can help solve this problem but it normally comes with a weight and added complexity penalty. This penalty usually means the roadster version of a car will be slower than their less complex, coupe counterparts – and who wants to spend that kind of money on a slower version of a Supercar?
The counterargument to this is fairly simple though – who cares? Yes, the roadster version will be slower but if you are buying a roadster Super car such as the Lamborghini Aventador, are you really buying it for the performance figures, or are you buying it for the theatrical experience? The ability to have an open environment around you. With the top removed, you can truly serenaded by the naturally aspirated V-12 which dares you to shriek it all the way to redline. Or perhaps more importantly, you now are on display for the public to see who you are while they ponder who you are, and how did you become so rich. It's like being a rock star and to some, that makes it well worth the money. How about for you?

Vittorio Ghirelli in Bahrain during the group test GP2 Series
GP2 Series
Vittorio Ghirelli is on the running track in the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain during the group test GP2 Series that anticipate the 2014 season.
The Italian pilot has made several laps with the Trident team with excellent results (8th time in the second round), although he won't participate in the league due to lack of budget, which is why in recent months he has not done testing on the track.
Meanwhile, Vittorio has dedicated himself to the study, carrying on his way in the Faculty of Communication Sciences of Rome.

This book review is not about a technical book, it's about a modern science fiction novel: Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez.
Kill Decision is a mix of a cyberpunk, military and actual science stories that come together is a great and frightening view of what it's coming in the very, very near future.
Daniel Suarez makes a compelling point about the automated drones. A team of Special Operations Forces (The Activity) join forces with a University professor to fight a new threat to the United States and the world. The story is fast paced and violent with hints of humoer as well.
Check his talk at TED in the video below.
In any case, it's a fantastic book if you want to get a story that mixes several types of literature and contains a lot of good Red Teams Mindset in it.

The Green Bay Packers will release wide receiver Jordy Nelson, according to Adam Schefter.
Despite the departure of one of the franchise's best receivers, Green Bay won't be desperate for hands, as they are expected to sign tight end Jimmy Graham away from the Seattle Seahawks.
Graham hauled in ten touchdowns on 57 catches with the Seahawks in 2017. Nelson caught six touchdowns, down from previous years. However, he was without Aaron Rodgers for most of the season.

...and to our new website. After a catastrophic failure in our former site (including loss of the exams, much of the database, etc.), we are rebuilding from scratch. It's launching in stages with this initial phase being course registration and the store. More content, both specific and general is coming asap. Unfortunately exams will be much later. It has been frustrating for our customers... and overwhelmingly frustrating for us. Your patience and understanding has been greatly appreciated!
2019 - the year of transition! By April we hope to have all lectures online. So, any time that has historically been spent sitting in the RTS® classroom and not in the gym, will soon be online. This will include the prerequisite Exercise Mechanics and Continuum Training® lectures for RTS2 Practical as well as RTS3 Science 1, Science 2, and the specific musculoskeletal mechanics portion of each practical module. All RTS2 and RTS3 practical modules will remain live and RTS3 will have more hands-on and equipment analysis time due to the pertinent lecture portions being online. See RTS3 details for more information.

Small town. Big idea. Rural setting. Multicultural pride.
Perry, population 7,500, has long been in the middle of Iowa's "corn-hog belt." The drive there, one-half hour northwest of Des Moines, feels like a trip to the middle of nowhere.
Locals will remind you that small towns rule in this state. They are not overshadowed by an annoyingly huge metropolitan area, which makes for clean living, clean politics and a pretty even distribution of wealth. There are exceptions.
One is Perry. The town could have withered as transportation got speedier and work opportunities changed. That's what happened to Angus, a once-vibrant coal-mining town with a 16-saloon "Whiskey Row," just a few miles north. Today Angus is merely a country cemetery name.
Perry thrives because of Roberta Green Ahmanson, a quiet hometown girl who moved away, worked hard, married well. She became a philanthropist, and when she decided to save an old hotel from being demolished, the little town had its chance to be reborn (and, eventually, to be featured in a 2004 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition).
Ahmanson, whose husband founded an asset management company, spent about $12 million in the 1990s to turn the 1913 Hotel Pattee into a four-diamond hotel and restaurant that teaches local history in each of its 40 guest rooms and suites.
This is not the only old hotel in the world to escape the wrecking ball. Nor is it the only high-end lodging property in an unexpected setting.
What makes the Hotel Pattee unique is its décor and mission. Each guest room/suite is remarkable in its furnishings, the attention paid to details, the stories that are shared through photos and text framed on walls. Themes are about immigration, ethnic pride and local heritage.
I asked to stay in the 1913 Farmhouse, one of the most modest accommodations, because I grew up on a farm. What I got was a plush room adorned with modern amenities and homespun handicrafts: a crocheted afghan, quilts, needlepoint pillows, embroidered dish towels, a gingham apron hanging from the hook of a shelf filled with antique kitchen and sewing items.
"No one ever said life on a farm was easy, but it was good," one piece of text declares. Scenes of horse teams plowing, and men working, are not anonymous. My room told the story of brothers Price and Lloyd Smith, third-generation family farmers.
The story and furnishings behind each door is remarkably different. There are Irish, Mexican, American Indian, Swedish, Chinese, Italian, Dutch, Welsh, Japanese, Russian and Southeast Asian rooms. Others are devoted to needlework, quilts, marching bands, woodworking. Native sons and daughters who have done well get to have their stories told, too.
It's not just the hotel that keeps history alive. More than 90 volunteers collect local artifacts and oral histories for Hometown Perry Iowa, which is a museum campus that encompasses the entire community. Thousands of names and lives have been documented.
Another Ahmanson project was the restoration of the 1904 Carnegie Library, which houses evidence and stories about libraries, reading and Midwest authors. The building does not duplicate the Perry Public Library, which has a more traditional function.
The diligence of local residents to preserve the past and respect the voices of average people slowly has turned Perry into a showcase nationwide, a generic example of how small-town life is The Good Life.
The classy Thymes Remembered Tea Room is across the road from the farmers' feedmill. Inventory at the Ray B. Smith Museum Store is as eclectic and classy as the Hotel Pattee's interior design. Merchandise at the nearby Ben Franklin is eclectic, too, but in a more practical way.
Perry is one-half hour northwest of Des Moines. For more: www.perryia.org, www.hometownperryiowa.org, 515-465-2518.
For more about the Hotel Pattee: www.hotelpattee.com, 888-424-4268.
What else is there to do in the neighborhood, which – in this state – means no more than one hour from Perry? There is enough to fill a long weekend, easily.
Covered bridges, some used as filming sites for "The Bridges of Madison County," can be seen on a self-guided auto tour. The annual Covered Bridge Festival is Oct. 14-15 in Winterset.
Also in Winterset is John Wayne's birthplace, which is filled with nostalgic photos of the actor and artifacts from his life.
Fons & Porter, described as "the Martha Stewarts of the quilting world," produce their "Love of Quilting" magazine in Winterset and operate a small quilting supply store downtown.
Garst Farm Resort, Coon Rapids, can be toured (and bedrooms can be rented). Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev, who visited in 1959, made the farm famous.
The Des Moines Metro Opera is based in the small town of Indianola, near Des Moines.

A crossover cable might sound like a thing of the past, but it is still in use today in various capacities. It's a cable used to connect two computers together for the purpose of direct communication. Another name for this type of cable is a null modem.
A computer user might want to test the behavior of one computer by connecting it to another, or to connect two computers to avoid having to buy a hub. Computers can also be connected so that two people can compete against each other in a multiplayer game. In each of these instances, a crossover cable can be used to make the connection.
For the first two instances, the computer user will want to make sure that the two computers are in the same workgroup. If they are not, then they will not be able to "see" each other. Once they are members of the same workgroup, the data transfer or monitoring can begin. This is sometimes a requirement for multiplayer gaming as well, so it's best for the user to check the protocols for both the game and the cable to be sure.
Many network cards have the functions inherent to a crossover cable built in. In this case, the user does not need to connect the computers directly as long as both are on the same network, primarily using the same modem or router. The network card does the work that would normally be done by the cable.
Computer users can buy a crossover cable at most computer stores and online computer equipment vendors, although they can also be made from commonly available materials. A number of do-it-yourself websites explain how they are made. People who want to make their own should remember that the signal pins that receive on one end are connected to the pins that transmit on the other. This is different from straight-through cable, in which the pins are connected like to like.
A crossover cable can also be used to connect two Ethernet devices. These devices can be single computers or networks. The principle is the same, but the connection speed and scheme are different, as is the purpose of the connection. In all cases, however, the data send and receive functions are crossed over at both ends of the cable, enabling full data transfer between computers, routers, and even networks.
Post 7
I disagree. Cross-over cabling is a thing of the past unless you use very old hardware. There is no such requirement anymore as NIC cards will negotiate automatically.
Post 6
I agree with the post above mine. I was researching on the difference between a crossover cable and a straight through. Other explanations are way too technical, this is just about right. I'm not really tech savvy and when I read on other sites I have to read it twice or thrice. With this I just read through it once and understood it easily. good job!
Post 5
That feature is called Auto-MDIX.
Post 4
Second paragraph mentions that some NICs have the same functions as a crossover cable. What is the feature called? Please elaborate. Thanks!
Post 3
Thanks for this, was looking for a 'dummies' explanation and this was great to help wrap my brain around some networking concepts.
Post 1
Short & sweet & understandable & excellent
Moderator's reply: Thanks for the positive feedback! We're always pleased when our users are satisfied!
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Josh Brolin Confirms He Was Considered for Batman in "Man of Steel 2"
Posted: September 8th, 2013 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Before Ben Affleck was announced as Batman in the upcoming "Man of Steel" sequel, it was reported that Josh Brolin was the favorite to get the role. In a new interview with The Huffington Post, the actor confirmed that director Zack Snyder considered him.
I didn't have conversations about it, but Zack, that was part of his idea. It just didn't turn out,
" he said. "
It's OK. It is OK. You know, another scenario might have worked better, but I'm happy for Ben.
Brolin went on to talk about the negative reaction he noticed toward Affleck's casting. "
I've never seen such a global reaction in my life,
" he said. "
I would not want to be him right now. The reaction becomes so personal. It's like, 'F*ck this guy, I wish he was dead.' And you're like, 'What? Dude, seriously? This guy is just working like you are. He's trying to make the best choices he can.' I want [Affleck] to kick ass and I want everyone to love it and eat their words.
Meanwhile, Affleck's wife, Jennifer Garner, also spoke about the casting. "
I'm excited about Batman, of course,
" she told ET Canada. "
Everything we do, we look at it together, and we say, 'Can we handle this? Can we take this?' And this was one where we were like, 'Let's go to Michigan!'

Still would have prefered Josh Brolin instead of Affleck. *shrug* Meh, I'll see how I feel about this casting when I see the trailer.
on September 8th, 2013 at 8:33:13 AM
So, I assume Snyder wanted Brolin, but WB vetoed him with Affleck? If that's the case, then well done WB!
on September 8th, 2013 at 8:53:29 AM
Hmm.. Affleck should play Whip-Boy.
"Everything we do, we look at it together.."?
It's just a proof that he can't do anything without Jennifer "Ugly German Shemale look" Garner's permission..
on September 8th, 2013 at 9:03:06 AM
Both Affleck and Brolin are good choises !!
on September 8th, 2013 at 9:26:46 AM
I'd be willing to bet nobody was into a pretty boy Heath Ledger being cast as the Joker either and we all see how that turned out...

Broken woułdve been the perfect choice. He would probably would have to bulk up a bit but I love broiling as an actor.

On a side note I just want to say Jennifer Garner is a damn perfect wife. LIke really Affleck seems like a great director and a decent guy but that Oscar speech had some seriously bad lines. I'm sure what he meant was that any marriage is hard work to be worth anything but it came out SOOOOO bad! LOL And now you uproot a family of 5 to f*cking Michigan. But see that's what really puzzles me...I thought they said Superman vs. Batman was going to be filmed in Detroit primarily? Well I guess no white woman is going to take her family in the middle of that town. LOL Sorry was that a bad racist joke or just right?

Didn't see your big response on the ridd*ck page. Thanks man lol You're a damn funny drunk ! And Rome was good. Left there, went to the abandoned city of Civiti di bagnoregio, then went to amalfi, then hit up Pisa and I'm now in Venice lol
Lol funny thing, you know how people take funny pics of the leaning tower of Pisa? I took a really good one of the tower looking like my penis while I was laying down and holding it. I'd post it here if I could do it from my phone lol
And Josh brolin would have done a good job. I hope Ben can live up to the hype.

"I'd be willing to bet nobody was into a pretty boy Heath Ledger being cast as the Joker either and we all see how that turned out..."
Because Heath Ledger's appreciable performances were anywhere near Ben Affleck's atrocious, wooden acting abilities, right?
People have different reasons for rejecting a casting, and they're not all equivalent or equally valid.
Try thinking next time.

She's a f*cking hooker, Rambo. A phone number means "I'll f*ck you for a couple bills".
on September 8th, 2013 at 6:32:54 PM
Haven't seen it. Started to watch World War Z the other day, but as I skipped through the film, it looked like a paint-by number thriller, hitting all the appropriate bullet points while throwing in the standard neck-biting zombie schlock seen a million times. That's why I turned it off.
on September 8th, 2013 at 6:32:56 PM
mink can be ornery, but he loves most of us. No homo.
on September 8th, 2013 at 6:36:14 PM
The only person I love is the woman sucking my d*ck, and even that emotion is ephemeral.
on September 8th, 2013 at 6:43:22 PM
That's sad, Rambo, regarding why you read the comments.
I only read this website to interact with the handful of people on here I don't despise. Rambo, Bullit, Pornfly, Deaftone, and a few others like Sleuth and Vincere.
Well, that and to slam Alex "The Jew" Ginzburg and Dustin "Catbreath" Putman.
on September 8th, 2013 at 6:45:28 PM
Dustin says on his Facebook "Going through the car wash while jamming out to Kenny Loggins' "Playing with the Boys.""
Yeah, dunno what's more sad about that one. That he thinks Kenny Loggins is cool, or that the title reflects his likely illicit hobby, outside writing sh*tty reviews trashing movies everyone else likes.
Pretty pathetic.
on September 8th, 2013 at 6:47:38 PM
He also says "The lyric faux pas keep on coming: I was singing along to "Karma Chameleon"..."
Who was Dustin's father? Rick Moranis?
on September 8th, 2013 at 6:56:19 PM
I can agree with that... I really only come for the comments. I could give a f*ck if I'm liked, Which I'd like to believe I am (Considering). I just find you guys funny and your opinions are usually fair.
Crambo- Why don't you like The worlds end?
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:02:54 PM
"Everything we do, we look at it together, and we say, 'Can we handle this? Can we take this?'".
First world problems, apparently. She's wondering if she can handle her husband starring in a potentially huge film he doesn't deserve, making a sh*tload of cash along the way, while people in many countries are wondering if they can handle being eaten alive or having their arms chopped off.
No wonder white people have so much guilt.
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:05:26 PM
I forgot to add Tanman and Boogiel to my list.
My bad, niggas.
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:07:30 PM
Thanks mink lol You're on my list as well. I don't talk to everyone on here, But I do have my everyday people like you, Rambo, Porn and Deaft. I'm PRETTY sure that's the only people I talk to Daily.
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:08:05 PM
I am still pissed at alex cribbing your The Avengers� dildo pic post with no credito to you. You did post it a few months ago. Alex baleeted the pic at the time but reposts it like he is original.
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:08:47 PM
Crambo- I guess I disagree but who really cares lol I really thought it was funny.
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:11:50 PM
@Deaftone: that's Alex. He steals from the people who post here with no credit to them, like he did to Boogiel, which is something that still amazes me.
What else can I say? He's a shameless thief.
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:14:53 PM
I've only read a couple of putf*cks emails, I disagree with most lol
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:34:22 PM
Look, over the years I've come to one revelation, and that's Alex just doesn't give a sh*t. This site is a money farm. That's it. Harry Knowles, for example, cares about movies. His site has few if any ads. This one...has thousands. Harry updates the news every day. Alex, on the other hand, updates the news infrequently, and when he does, it's something he verbatim stole from either other websites, like TMZ, or his own members. Harry has special features and respects and values his members. Alex sees us as a corner commodity that can be deleted on his own immediate demand for whatever reason. Harry is actually someone in the movie community, whereas Alex is the guy stealing your work every single day, while funneling his ad revenue into "movies" no one sees, probably because they don't exist, while calling himself a "producer".
Alex told me that it didn't matter what I wrote for my article, and he didn't even want to publish it after promising people here it was a new WP feature they could get in on as members.
I have zero respect for him, and he's done everything he can to earn it.
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:34:52 PM
Oh, and then there's the constant "DATABASE ERROR!".
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:41:10 PM
Oh man.. Screw Alex I HATE those database errors!
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:48:44 PM
Anyway, the news. Awesome. Brolin was on the list to be Batman. I guess if this was any other website, we'd all be talking about how much we love Batman, Superman, Ben Affleck, Josh Brolin and Zach Snyder, but this being WP, we're not.
So...who do you think should have been Batman? Do you think Bale did a good job as the character? Was he an effective Wayne? Was Wayne given enough screen time? Do you think Batman should have been running around in the daytime? Do you think a grown man in plastic growling at noon on the steps of City Hall is scary? Do you think football players can outrun explosions? How DO you blow up two buildings without explosives? Why was Lucious Fox black, and is a skylit garage as effective a bat cave as the Bat Cave? Why did Gotham City look like Chicago? And so on and so forth.
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:50:17 PM
They should have renamed Lucius Fox to Luscious Fox and then hired a huge black woman for the role.
on September 8th, 2013 at 7:52:42 PM
BOOM, Bruce Willis. Yeah I f*cking went there.
on September 8th, 2013 at 8:32:03 PM
I could see Brolin as a good Bruce Wayne. He can be very serious but caring in his roles like his dad.
Yeah alex is a douchebox. A couple years ago when people, including me gave Harry Knowles untold amounts of sh*t how he was not updating like he should, he rectified it. Harry does listen to his members.
We all know who doesn't.

The values of the regular Tata Hexa start from Rs.11.72 lakh for the XE 4×2 variant and goes up to Rs.17.07 lakh for the XTA 4×2 variant.
Mayank Pareek, President, Passenger Vehicle Business Unit, Tata Motors, said, "In order to offer our customers with an adrenaline pumped driving experience, we are happy to introduce the urban edition of the successful and versatile SUV, Hexa. The Hexa has caught the imagination of the country with its distinctive on-road and off-road abilities. It has completely changed the face of Tata Motors and witnessed a strong traction in the market. The Hexa Downtown, as the name suggests is a vehicle enthused by the city life to match the clients' charged urban lifestyle. With the new edition of the Hexa Downtown, we are sure to take forward our brand promise of offering customers aspirational products along with sheer value. On the lower-spec XE, XM and XMA trims, the Total package adds new tan seat covers, while the Indulge package on the lower variants gets them new 16-inch alloy wheels. The top-spec XT and XTA trims, with the Indulge package, come with two Blaupunkt 10.1-inch infotainment screens for the rear and a dashboard-mounted heads-up display that provides speed limit alerts, battery voltage and tyre pressure information.

Rounding up the list of new features is a heads-up display (HUD), a tyre pressure monitor system and newly designed 16-inch alloy wheels.
The Hexa was already a feature-rich SUV and now with these additions, it sure takes the premium-ness a few notches higher.

The entry-level XE variant of the Hexa Downtown is about Rs.45,000 dearer than the base variant of the standard Hexa, whose range starts at Rs.11.72 lakh and goes up to Rs.17.08 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

President's son, advisers met with Russian lawyer last June
The president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., acknowledged attending a meeting with a Russian lawyer tied to the Kremlin at Trump Tower last June, one of the first confirmed meetings between President Donald Trump's inner circle and a Russian national during the campaign.
In a statement distributed Saturday evening, Trump Jr. confirmed that he had participated in a "short introductory meeting," to which he asked Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law, to attend along with the chair of the Trump presidential campaign, Paul Manafort.
"We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago and was since ended by the Russian government, but it was not a campaign issue at that time and there was no follow-up," Trump Jr. said in the statement. "I was asked to attend the meeting by an acquaintance, but was not told the name of the person I would be meeting with beforehand."
The meeting was reported Saturday by the New York Times.
Kushner's lawyer said in a prepared statement that the president's son-in-law had disclosed the session previously on his security clearance forms. But the new public report adds to the roster of curious private meetings between Trump allies and Russians during and after the campaign.
The meeting between the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, and the president's inner circle became public Saturday, the day after President Trump met in Germany with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time. Trump questioned Putin about Russian meddling during the 2016 election. The Russian leader denied any such interference.
Veselnitskaya is well known to those who have advocated for sanctions against Russia, particularly the Magnitsky Act, which prohibits U.S. interaction with Russians alleged to have committed human rights violations. The law angered Putin when passed by Congress in 2012 and led Putin to retaliate by halting American adoptions of Russian children.
The adoption issue is frequently used as a talking point by opponents of the Magnitsky Act, said William Browder, an American financier who worked in Russia and lobbied for the sanctions, which are named for a former auditor he employed, Sergei Magnitsky. Magnitsky died in a Russian prison under mysterious circumstances in 2009 after exposing a corruption scandal.
The act lists the names of individuals in Russia, including judges and other public officials, effectively blacklisting them from doing business in the United States.
"I can't imagine that she brought up anything during the Trump Tower meeting other than the Magnitsky Act," said Browder, who recalled Veselnitskaya defending three Russian businessmen against U.S. fraud charges connected to the business where Magnitsky worked - Browder's Hermitage Capital. The case was settled in May.
Veselnitskaya also had a major role in a public-relations campaign to repeal the Magnitsky Act that included a documentary film shown in Washington last year, Browder said.
Veselnitskaya could not be reached for comment late Saturday.
Manafort's lawyer declined to comment on the Times report.
An attorney for Kushner, Jamie Gorelick, issued a statement emphasizing that the meeting had been disclosed earlier by Kushner.
"As we have previously stated, Mr. Kushner's SF-86 was prematurely submitted and, among other errors, did not list any contacts with foreign government officials. The next day, Mr. Kushner submitted supplemental information stating that he had had 'numerous contacts with foreign officials' about which he would be happy to provide additional information," the statement said. " . . . Mr. Kushner has submitted additional updates and included, out of an abundance of caution, this meeting with a Russian person, which he briefly attended at the request of his brother-in-law, Donald Trump Jr. As Mr. Kushner has consistently stated, he is eager to cooperate and share what he knows."

One in a zillion
(On recent Amy Winehouse's death)
Some rare stars
-just too bright-
uncontrollable quite,
give away glaring light.
Though unstable by cradle,
-it's a part of their fable-
they can touch and relabel
what the rest are unable.
When they 'd shed all their heart
they will just fall apart.
Not an end, a restart,
each of us getting part.
You can say and it's right,
every time they ignite,
they provide hope to fight
the sad darkness of night.
Remember, a supernova is the only way
that we can get heavy matter.
We need them.
The universe would be just
so boring without them,
possibly without life as we know it...

is listed among the forwards in Warren Gatland's 37-man pool.
Glasgow Warriors backs Stuart Hogg and and Sean Maitland are also included.
Scotland captain Kelly Brown and England counterpart Chris Robshaw did not make the squad, but Gatland hinted they could be brought in as cover.
Wales coach Gatland has picked 15 players from his Six Nations championship-winning squad, with 10 from England, nine from Ireland and only three Scots.
For Hogg, it has been a quick rise up the ranks, having only made his Scotland debut in last season's Six Nations, since when he has won 15 caps.
The 20-year-old told BBC Scotland: "It has been a rollercoaster year and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
"To have this at the end of the year is a dream come true.
"Growing up as a kid, all you want to do is play rugby at the highest level.
"Now to have the opportunity to do so is overwhelming and I am lost for words."
The full-back from Melrose was watching the team announcement on his mobile phone while practising his goal-kicking.
"When my name came up, I screamed like a little girl," said Hogg.
"All the pressure of the last few months, it being a Lions year, has just paid off and I am relieved to see my name there.
"Now it is all about getting the starting jersey. The hard work begins here"
Glasgow team-mate Maitland impressed in this year's Six Nations, running in a score against England on his Scotland debut.
Born in New Zealand, the 24-year-old qualifies for Scotland through his grandparents and said it was one of his major sporting ambitions to play for the national side.
"I'm very honoured and happy," Maitland told BBC Scotland.
"It's definitely the highlight of my rugby career. My main goal was to come over here and try and play for Scotland, and now that has happened - and it was a wonderful experience at the Six Nations.
"I've got them to thank for getting me to where I am now."
The three Tests against the Wallabies will take place across the final two weekends in June and the first in July.
Lions squad for 2013 tour
Backs: Leigh Halfpenny (Wales), Stuart Hogg (Scotland), Rob Kearney (Ireland), Tommy Bowe (Ireland), Alex Cuthbert (Wales), Sean Maitland (Scotland), George North (Wales), Jonathan Davies (Wales), Brian O'Driscoll (Ireland), Jamie Roberts (Wales), Manu Tuilagi (England), Owen Farrell (England), Jonathan Sexton (Ireland), Conor Murray (Ireland), Mike Phillips (Wales), Ben Youngs (England).

Kent Bridge and Florence. I can remember as a child, running to the
Thamesville train station upon hearing the sound of an oncoming train,
hoping to catch a rush of adrenalin as it roared past us by only feet.
Population: 928
Author Robertson Davies born here in August of 1913
Threshing Festival held every July
Battle of the Thames took place here on Oct. 5, 1913
A post office was established at Thamesville in 1834. It was incorporated as a village in 1873.
It's a much simpler life in Thamesville and I've always appreciated the hard work that the farmers in the area of Kent County perform on a daily basis. The drivers are not in a hurry to get anywhere nor are they likely to cut you off. People are friendly in this part of Ontario.
As I grew into an adult the trips to Thamesville became less and less frequent. When my grandmother passed away in 2001, I realized that when the time came that my grandfather eventually passed away, that would end our reason for making the trip at all. Sadly, that day came on November 1, 2007.
While I have no doubt that I will visit Thamesville again, no longer will it be to visit my grandparents, to go for an ice cream with my cousins or to sleep in my grandparent's house. The house that they once lived in was sold almost a decade ago and now memories are all that I have.
Thamesville is certainly not a ghost town, the beauty of this part of Ontario
merits that I place it into this web page so that you may experience the beauty
as well. Remember, if you visit these locations take nothing but photos, leave
nothing but footprints.
arrived in Thamesville at approximately 6:00 AM and proceeded to take some
early morning photos. It began with a beautiful view of a farmer's field
at sunrise. The camera settings were not set properly and I ended up with
a dark orb photo.
Next are two rather eery photos of the stone abutments built in 1874 by stonemasons John and James Tinline. These would be used for a wooden bridge over the Thames River until an iron bridge would replace it.
Next is a marker for a barn which once stood nearby the bridge, followed by a cemetery not far from the bridge. The bridge can be found as you travel from Ridgetown into Thamesville.
The Robert Ferguson home, built in 1885, has always fascinated me for its beauty and appearance. It can be found just off of Sherman Street heading.
The day after the funeral I went out in search of abandoned places. I came across what appeared
to be an old schoolhouse. It stands at the intersection of McKay's Line (a road on which the former hamlet of McKay's Corners was situated) and Kenesserie Road. GPS Coordinates: 42.516 / 81.897 (Google Map)
Along McKay's Line, I happened across the Ogletree Pioneer Cemetery (Google Map). Some of the markers date back to the 1800's while some of the markers belong to children (child mortality rates were high during the 1800's). The 59th image is of Samuel Clark's marker which reads that Clark was "killed by lightning". It is possible that the cemetery originated with the Ogletree family.

CN Station
On April of 1999, two railway engineers, Don Blain and Kevin Lihou were killed when Via Rail 74 derailed in Thamesville. The historic station still stands but is no longer used for pasengers.
V.G. Graves Abandoned House
This property is located in Thamesville and I found it somewhat intriguing if not creepy. Various animal cages and kennels are scattered about the property. I found a storage shed and hand operated water-pump (not working). The burned out remains of an unknown structure sit not far behind the house. The house is locked up and while the padlock on it appeared to be relatively new, the contents of the house are quite older. The only access to the house was through a broken window with makeshift wooden ladder propped against the wall. A sheet of metal had been secured behind the window thus preventing entering the home.

These two fine paintings will be displayed at the Dixie State University Art Show in St. George, Utah from February 14 until March 30th. Each painting measures 24 x 12 and each will sell for $2400. As usual, I do my best to research the clothing and in the case of the Soldier his weapons and gear.
500 men of the Mormon Battalion were conscripted to join in the war against Mexico. They sent their pay and alowances for uniforms back to Winter Quarters (Council Bluffs on the Missouri River) where their friends and families were preparing and starting on their journey west to Utah.

Sometimes, it is good to shut yourself off from the world from for a while and just reflect. We did just that, and came up with this list. Having something in black and white helps tremendously to put things in perspective.

Ooo-la-la! Those look like summery fun! And I like the way you think, getting one in each color - and perhaps wearing one in each color, too. Maybe.
- 06 November, 2007
- Bells said...
oh look at those! You know, first of all I thought they were pink - they definitely look pink on my screen and I thought, hang about, RoseRed wouldn't EVER wear pink....but a closer inspection showed really they are a deeper, richer, more red colour.
So very pretty. This is on instance where I think polka dots are acceptable.
Please tell me where you bought them?
- 06 November, 2007
- Ann said...
A girl can never resist more shoes - they are lovely!
- 06 November, 2007
- amy said...
I TOTALLY would mix and match. Definitely. My brother used to wear Chuck Taylor sneakers, two different colors, in high school. Make people think twice about you, you know? Maybe you ARE a little nuts. Maybe they should just back off. Could be useful!
- 06 November, 2007
- TinkingBell said...
Oh - I know how hard the choosing was - so glad you didn't have to! Aren't they fun! Well done you - getting them on even more sale!

How to choose?? Those shoes--red & black--are absolutely adorable!
- 06 November, 2007
- Donna Lee said...
As I sit here with my warm, handknit socks on, those make my feet cold. But they are so wonderful for spring! I hope it gets warm soon for you to wear them. It's hard to have great, new shoes and have to wait to wear them.

- 08 November, 2007
- Em said...
I have such shoe envy! I think I will live vicariously through you and your summer shoes, as I have been forced to relegate my favorite heels to the closet. New Jersey finally decided, in the span of one full day, that it's definitely autumn, and the weather's acting accordingly for once. The shoes are fabulous, polka dots are so pretty!
- 08 November, 2007
Oh. I love!

Absolutely fabulous! Wow.

WHEN Mitt Romney takes the podium at Ford Field in Detroit today, he's likely to include yet another sharp denunciation of the government's rescue of General Motors and Chrysler.
That Mr. Romney would traverse Michigan trashing a program that saved tens of thousands of jobs at the Detroit-based automakers doesn't necessarily mean he's politically tone-deaf.
After all, an NBC/Marist poll recently found that 50 percent of Michigan Republicans who were likely to vote opposed the government's actions (only 42 percent supported them).
Mr. Romney may have the primary politics right — though with a majority of Michigan voters supporting the rescue, he may want to pivot deftly before the general election in November. But on the substance he's dead wrong.
As a presidential aspirant, Mr. Romney evidently hasn't felt a need to be consistent or specific as to what should have been done to address the collapse of the auto industry starting in late 2008. But the gist is that the government should have stayed on the sidelines and allowed the companies to go through what he calls "managed bankruptcies," financed by private capital.Continue reading the main story
That sounds like a wonderfully sensible approach — except that it's utter fantasy. In late 2008 and early 2009, when G.M. and Chrysler had exhausted their liquidity, every scrap of private capital had fled to the sidelines.
I know this because the administration's auto task force, for which I was the lead adviser, spoke diligently to all conceivable providers of funds, and not one had the slightest interest in financing those companies on any terms. If Mr. Romney disagrees, he should come forward with specific names of willing investors in place of empty rhetoric. I predict that he won't be able to, because there aren't any.
Without government financing — initiated by President George W. Bush in December 2008 — the two companies would not have been able to pursue Chapter 11 reorganization. Instead they would have been forced to cease production, close their doors and lay off virtually all workers once their coffers ran dry.
Those shutdowns would have reverberated through the entire auto sector, causing innumerable suppliers almost immediately to stop operating too.
Despite the relative health of its balance sheet, even Ford would have been forced to close temporarily, because critical parts would have become unavailable. And service providers — trucking companies, restaurants and more — would have been severely affected.
More than a million jobs would have been lost, at least for a time. Michigan and the entire industrial Midwest would have been devastated.
I consider myself an ardent capitalist, and well recognize the risks of government intervention, particularly the "moral hazard" of rewarding failure and the scary prospect of politics' entering private sector decision-making.
But when markets fail, as they did for both autos and banks in 2008, government should have the ability — in fact, the obligation — to step in.
Interestingly, Mr. Romney's current principal Republican opponent, Rick Santorum, has opposed not only the auto rescue but also the help given to the banks, which Mr. Romney supported.
Yet Mr. Romney has become the lightning rod on autos because of the full-throated roar with which he has delivered his views, including an Op-Ed essay in The New York Times in November 2008 and another essay in The Detroit News 10 days ago.
Among Mr. Romney's grievances — and to be fair, those of other opponents of the auto rescue — is that the auto task force trampled on bankruptcy precedents and even the law to effect President Obama's plan of "shared sacrifice" by all stakeholders.
What he conveniently ignores is that the president's plan was litigated throughout the federal court system — all the way to the Supreme Court, in the case of Chrysler — without so much as a nod to the opponents from a single judge.
In retrospect, I recognize the emotions surrounding the decision to give members of the United Auto Workers company stock in exchange for resolving their health care claims. But the courts were emphatic that what we did was legal, because we remained true to a core principle of bankruptcy reorganization: every stakeholder received more from our plan than if the companies had been left to go bankrupt on their own.
Now, less than three years later, G.M. and Chrysler have markedly exceeded our expectations. Just a few days ago, G.M. reported an annual profit of $7.6 billion, and Chrysler is in the black as well. Both companies have increased their sales sharply, in part by making appealing new models.
And they are hiring new workers for the first time in many years. Michigan's unemployment rate has dropped far faster than the national average, though it is still painfully high.
All of this was accomplished at relatively low cost; taxpayers will receive back the vast preponderance of the $82 billion that was invested.
"I'd do it again," Mr. Bush said of the rescue in a recent speech. "Sometimes circumstances get in the way of philosophy." Good thing he and Mr. Obama didn't take Mr. Romney's advice.Continue reading the main story

CARLSBAD — North County residents can ensure a proper retirement of their American flags thanks to the city of Carlsbad's Fire Department and Library.Carlsbad City Library, 1775 Dove Lane, now has a flag drop box supplied by the Fire Department and a second flag drop box will be installed at the Georgina Cole Library, 1250 Carlsbad Village Drive, by the end of March. Per the United States Flag Code, flags that are no longer fitting to display must be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably by burning. The drop boxes, which resemble red mailboxes, provide a convenient and respectful method for flag retirement. At Carlsbad City Library, the drop box is located next to the drive-up book return, and at Cole Library, the drop box will be located next to the book return in front of the library.
"The city of Carlsbad's Fire Department has been accepting worn flags from the public, which we burn in a fire pit," said Fire Captain Skip Clark. "We were looking for the most convenient location to provide a flag drop-off service and decided on the library. Now community members will be able to dispose of their flags and know that their fire department will respectfully and safely take care of the rest. This is just another way that the Carlsbad Fire Department is at your service."
The flag retirement drop boxes will be available 24/7 outside of the libraries.

Marriage is meant to shine. To be the origin of unique passion and aliveness between two lovers and soul-mates. Where individuality is honored and rich togetherness is cultivated. So often this fails to happen and couples eventually turn the corner where hurt, misunderstandings and wounds abound. Clearly the exception to God's design for synergy and joy between two people who inspire one another.
Too many couples who experience marital struggles have fallen well below this experience. And some have sunk into challenges that have become destructive and harmful to the spirit and soul – of both! Not just poor communication or the usual suspects such as disagreement over finances, in-laws, etc. More tragic – problems honoring one another as unique human beings, who need to feel secure, loved and even cherished in the bonds of marriage.
This can happen for many reasons. Needs go unmet over time, attention to growing the marriage doesn't take place and the thought of rocking one another's world fades into a distant memory – often completely forgotten. When hurt and wounded, it gets easier to withhold love, to strike back and attack emotionally. Sometimes affairs grow from this neglected soil and add to the challenges of finding solutions – and moving ahead as lovers united as one.
Three themes (amongst others) often emerge from the rubble and reflect the destructive habits that get created when love suffers or dies.
- Serious fractures in the relationship have produced a one-dimensional way of seeing one another and relating together. We fail to see one another as "whole" individuals who need to be honored, who have inherent value and worth, fills the relationship space and keeps distance and anger alive. Once united lovers now become enemies – convinced the other is "defective." And so both lovers treat the other in 1-dimensional ways, not as complete people. Everything is run through a "filter" that sees the other as limited, hurtful and someone to run from.
- This leads to a second theme permeating the couples' relationship. That with such pain, the natural interpretation is that the other person is the cause of all the problems and woundedness in the marriage. Personal responsibility is often avoided and blames takes the place of a realistic analysis based on the contribution of both.
- And a not uncommon phenomenon relates to potential abuse – mild or overt. When two people fail to meet each other's basic needs, anger results. Individuals have different ways of dealing with anger. Some become abusive – hurtful and critical. Not even necessarily physical.
Abuse also means we dishonor the uniqueness and individuality of our mate, instead vilifying them and seeing them as defective and incapable of loving. And ultimately, we withdraw love. We stop trying to meet each other's needs for belonging, respect, love and acceptance.
How do we turn this around? How do two former lovers restore what they once had or at least dreamed of having? With serious unresolved conflict in the marriage, there needs to be a distinct approach to change, to restoration and to creating hope. These steps need to include at a minimum:
- Willingness to seek professional help. This is usually a must for couples who experience high levels of conflict and have gone down the path of serious, unresolved hurts.
- The need to look in the mirror and ask some vital questions such as "What's my contribution to the escalation and pain we're experiencing?" "Is my partner really evil, the enemy or as limited as I now see him or her?" "In what ways do I withhold compassion, caring and tenderness from my mate?" "In what positive ways could I reach out and try to turn this relationship around?" "Am I capable of forgiveness and am I willing to try?"
- Creating a mutual agreement to soften the tone, bring down defensive walls long enough to start something fresh and spending time to establish some kind of plan to move the relationship forward.
- Developing a personal commitment to bring light into the marriage by your own inner well of love, God's inspiration and belief in the possibilities of change.
Light, love and honor come from someplace deep inside our spirit. We marry because we hope to powerfully love another and expect we will also be deeply cherished. We assume we will be valued for who we are, despite our flaws and weaknesses.
The road of destructiveness changes all that. Love turns to despair and oftentimes even hate. Love fades and dies. Our hurt grows and we need answers.
But love can grow again. Relationships can be restored. For love moves mountains, melts the hardest hearts and dances as a living being within the spirit of a man or woman. Let it dance, let Him dance and trust that within your best intentions, if mutual, you can soar into a new place.
