A triumph of psychological drama, owing as much to Ms. Bier's sensitive style as to Anders Thomas Jensen's smart screenplay, based on Bier's own story idea.
Brothers takes a scenario as old as Genesis – two jealous siblings spar over the affections of the same woman – and renders it fresh and immediate, by virtue of the warm, almost maternal, generosity director Susanne Bier shows her characters.
We do live in a fraught world of interconnections, Bier makes clear, and what happens far away matters, in unexpected ways, close to home.
Everyone involved -- actors, crew, director Susanne Bier and screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen in their second collaboration -- are in peak form in this unflinching look at repressed feelings and emotional devastation.
A drama of uncommon moral complexity, unexpected humor, convincing transformations (for good and bad) and, best of all, vibrant, unpredictable energy. In a movie landscape littered with dead souls, here's a live one.
The central performance in Brothers is by Connie Nielsen, who is strong, deep and true.
The two male leads, bulwarks of the Danish film industry for more than a decade, play off each other like the veterans they are.
Brothers is about how people change, how they can rise to an occasion, or sink to one. It's a tale of love and allegiance, of truth and the cruelties that men can bring to bear on one another.
It's a quiet anti-war film full of lovely, heartbreakingly assured performances and real situations and responses.
These three central performances, and a solid script by Anders Thomas Jensen and director Susanne Bier, ground a potentially overwrought story in genuine feeling.
The second collaboration between helmer Susanne Bier and scriptwriter Anders Thomas Jensen once again shows what skilled artists can do with a story that might have ended up filled with cliches.
The end result was that the performances reached a remarkable level of intimacy and intensity.
A beautifully acted, graceful, and intelligent film that usefully dramatizes the gulf between Fortress Bush and the relativist politics of Western Europe.
There's such a sense of overall intensity, you know you have been though something powerful.
While the film's strength lies in an ensemble effort, it's really Sarah and Jannik who provide the film with its most compelling characters, its momentum and, ultimately, its heart.
Director Susanne Bier is helped by a well-chosen cast, especially the glowing Nielsen, a Danish-born actress best known for American films like "Gladiator."
Tapping into the basest fears of war while subverting all expectations, director Susanne Bier deftly reads between the headlines.
Piercingly co-written and directed by Susanne Bier, the movie dramatizes one man's collapse and the other's surprising maturation.
At its core, Susanne Bier's wrenching portrayal of the shifting dynamics within a Danish family is really about survival, about how we cope in the face of shattering grief and what we'll do -- anything, really -- to save ourselves.
What sets Bier's film apart from similar fare are the consistently fine performances and powerful scenes of surprising ferocity.
A movie so nice she made it twice, Susanne Bier's Dogme-certified feature "Open Hearts" gets a slight makeover in her follow-up Brothers, another raw melodrama about three lives recalibrated by sudden tragedy.
Danish director Susanne Bier elicits wonderfully intimate performances from her actors, and this 2004 drama has so many genuine, low-key encounters it manages to overcome a contrived and familiar plot.

DawnJ.Mar 4, 2006The strengths of the movie lie in its unflinching portrayal of the very personal complexities of war. Two families are The strengths of the movie lie in its unflinching portrayal of the very personal complexities of war. Two families are impacted-Michael's own wife and daughters and the wife and son of Niels Peter, a townsman and fellow soldier who shares his prison cave. It is in the comparison of these two families in which the film's conflict lies. We get a brief snapshot of Neils Peter's family when Michael visits her upon his return. The cropping is close; the camera closes in on a spare white kitchen table. Niels Peter's wife Ditte sit at the table, alone in her grief and longing. The film spends much more time on Sophia's family of two roustabout girls and the constantly present brother Jannik. The scope is expansive, dynamic. The range of laughter and tears is photographed in a medley of shots against a background of colors, textures, hammers, saws, and bustle. Clearly, progress is being made, particularly before Michael's return. There is no sugar coating of post-trauma life, no sentimentalized view of family. The performances are uniformly strong, the photography intense, the music good. The story leaves us with questions: Why do Jannik and Sophia not consummate their desire? Why do the brothers' parents drop out of the story once the elder son has returned? The complexities of the film provoke questions we want to see answered. Even though the film presents nothing startlingly new about PTSD, it at least offers no easy answers and is always absorbing to watch.… Full Review »
BryanG.Feb 23, 2006Subtle differences in familiar plot lines make the reality of emotion stand out as the crowning execution in this film. It is wonderfully atypical.

- He's very tired.
- Hans looks outside to make sure nobody has seen.
- It's seems crazy to Max that he's safe, but it seems to be the case.

- When he looks up he sees Liesel watching them.
- She calls out to Hans.
- He tells her that everything is okay and sends her back to bed.

Ten reasons Paul Ryan could end up a liability to GOP ticket
By Richard Dunham on August 13, 2012 at 5:33 PM
Ryan's high-profile budget proposals transform the debate from a referendum on Obama to a choice of plans for the future. Democrats say the Romney-Ryan approach would hurt middle-class Americans and the elderly while benefiting the rich people like Romney. Democrats would much rather take their chances with a "choice" election than a "referendum" election. …

ESPN said it would remove Stephen A. Smith from programming for about a week in the wake of controversial remarks the popular host made about women and domestic violence.
Smith, who co-hosts "First Take" on ESPN2, drew notice last Friday when, during a discussion of the NFL's two-game suspension of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice over allegations he beat his fiancée. Smith suggested that victims of abuse might also be responsible for provoking it. "In Ray Rice's case, he probably deserves more than a two-game suspension, which we both acknowledged," he said. "But at the same time, we also have to make sure that we learn as much as we can about elements of provocation. Not that there's real provocation, but the elements of provocation."
The remarks drew the ire of ESPN personality and host Michelle Beadle, who took to Twitter to voice her concern about what Smith had said…

City Attorney Moves Against 'Supergraphic' Signs
The City Attorney's office on Tuesday announced it filed civil injunctions against 27 sign companies, sign installers and property owners for illegally putting up super-sized advertisements known as "supergraphic" signs in Los Angeles. It declared that the displays are public nuisances and seeks their removal as well as $10 million in penalties and fines and millions in "gross revenue generated by the erection of these signs," according to an office statement.
The office cited the city's "permanent ban on supergraphic and off-site signs" enacted in August, which applies to mega-sized advertisements that are often draped down high-profile, high-rise buildings. Defendants include World Wide Mediacom, World Wide Rush, Yamit Enterprises, Citywide Pete, Mediacom Inc., Barry L. Rush, Leslye M. Rush, Paul Fisher, Peter Zachery and Scott Krantz.
The office states that "companies and individuals engaged in the outdoor advertising business" have "erected these supergraphic signs in violation of that ban, as well as [in violation of] California's Outdoor Advertising Act, Unfair Competition Law and public nuisance laws, in addition to numerous other state laws and local ordinances."
The signs in question advertise movies, TV shows, and products from Nike, Honda, Tropicana, Pepsi and Coors, the City Attorney's office states. Twelve locations were targeted, including Howard Hughes Center, the Sherman Oaks Galleria and seven freeway-adjacent locales.
The City Attorney's office is seeking $5,000 for each day a sign was illegally in place as well as an additional $10,000 flat penalty for each freeway-adjacent sign and $100 for each day the defendants don't take down a sign from here on out.

You can prevent ID theft by shredding documents
Published: Sunday, October 28, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 27, 2007 at 10:38 p.m.
HOUMA -- When it comes to stealing information for identity theft and business competition, nothing is sacred -- not even your garbage.
"People will do things you wouldnt believe to get your information," said Cathy Laliberte, owner of Cross Cut Shredders in Houma, a document-destruction company that opened in May. "You wouldnt realize how many people are digging in your garbage, or how many employees are copying and stealing information that are supposed to be destroying it."
Laliberte said many people may not realize one of the No. 1 means of identity theft is dumpster diving, and the best way to protect yourself is to make sure that any mail or documents containing personal information are not only thrown out, but completely destroyed.
Cross Cut Shredders offers commercial and residential shredding services for confidential material, Laliberte said.
"We have a big mobile unit that we can come on site with," she said. "We encourage our customers to witness the shredding of their personal documents."
In addition, all shredded materials are recycled.
But the reasoning behind that isnt only environmental, Laliberte said.
"We shred quite a bit of material, and you dont want this in a landfall," she said.
Normally when something is shredded with a personal shredder, the materials will go into a bag, which then goes into a garbage can that becomes public property.
When material is recycled, it ensures that no one will ever be able to pull it out of your garbage and piece it back together, Laliberte said.
"Theres no way (the information we are shredding) can get into the hands of anyone," she said. "Confidentiality is very important in this field of work."
The average person should shred legal documents, medical records, canceled checks, insurance records, bank statements, legal documents and even junk mail.
"Anything you get that gives information about you," Laliberte said. "Your name, address, phone numbers."
Businesses should consider shredding log books, bid sheets and old invoices, anything that could give valuable information about your business to the competition.
Assigning an employee to shred documents takes time away from work, and you never know if an employee is copying information to steal from you, Laliberte said.
"The most-important thing for customers to realize is that by shredding and recycling these documents, they are protecting themselves and protecting their customers," she said.
You can get more information about Cross Cut Shredders by visiting their Web site at www.ccshred.net or by calling their offices at 851-1896.

Loved this! I used rooibos tea, since I don't drink normal tea, and otherwise as directed. For my personal taste it was a little sweet, as a hot drink, so I'll decrease/omit the sugar next time, I really don't have a sweet tooth. However, as a cold beverage this is to die for, just as is! I preferred it like that, to be honest, wonderfully refreshing on a hot afternoon! Once I'd finished with the teabags, I cut them open and sprinkled the leaves around my roses.. old wives tip, roses like tea leaves!
This was warm and soothing; lightly fruity with just the right amount of spice. I found more of the flavor came through as it cooled off a bit. I skipped the brown sugar. Made for the Comfort Cafe- Snow Queen Round Winter 2010
I admit that I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't like such a strong tea being used to make this. I never steep tea for 10 minutes let alone using 2 tea bags per 1 cup of water. None the less I followed the recipe and I'm glad I did. The combination of flavors was delicious. The only change I made was to omit the sugar because I prefer a less sweet drink. Made for the Comfort Cafe- Snow Queen Round 01/10.
This might be a great drink for cold weather, but it's also a great one for just about anytime, in my book, hot or cold! I really enjoyed the combo of the cranberry juice & tea (as well as the cider, which is always wonderful) & I'll be making this (as a cold drink) especially as the weather get HOT! Thanks for a great drink recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Beverage Tag]
SO good! I haven't even finished sipping my first cup of this great brew, but I just had to come here and rave about it! I used green tea -- I'm allergic to black tea :( -- so I didn't let the water come to a full boil, since that would have made that more delicate tea bitter. The flavor was still wonderful, but I know that using black tea would make this even tastier, since the tea flavor would be more pronounced. I put the cloves and the cinnamon in a tea ball so it would be easier to remove, and may next time use a small piece of fresh ginger instead of the ground. If I do, I'll add that to the tea ball... and maybe throw in some orange peel, too, which I think would really add a nice touch. Just the right balance of tart and sweet to this tea, so I wouldn't change anything else at all. LOVELY drink! Thanks for sharing.
TOTAL COMFORT DRINK! Warming and relaxing. So Autummy. Thanks
A very warm, soothing drink which I much enjoyed! I halved the recipe and will be making more. Thanks!
VERY tasty! Tart with a lovely complexity from the spices. I used fresh new cider and "pure unsweetened" cranberry juice this time; I may use cranberry juice cocktail the next time (and there will be one), or add a bit more brown sugar. I will keep this handy this winter.

What are the prospects for climate legislation in the House?
I think Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Waxman (D-CA) may be making both a strategic and a tactical mistake in pushing to get a climate bill out of committee by Memorial Day. I say this as someone who was delighted Waxman defeated Dingell for the chairmanship.
Strategically, as an extended must-read analysis in E&E Daily (subs. req'd, reprinted below) explains:
… in the Energy and Commerce Committee, it is often stated that a legislative victory there foretells success when the bill reaches the entire House. "If you do it in committee, I think you do a huge amount of what you need to do for the floor," said Manik Roy, vice president of federal outreach at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.
Obama isn't going to see a climate bill on his desk this year (see "Sen. Boxer makes clear U.S. won't pass a climate bill this year"). Even Speaker Pelosi was originally skeptical the House would pass cap and trade this year.
Obama certainly isn't going to devote a lot of time and political effort to raising the issue's profile in the next three months — nor should he ("Obama can get a better climate bill in 2010. Here's how").
So why push such an important and difficult vote before the ground has been laid for it, when you will be operating with one hand tied behind your back — at a time when the Administration, public, and media are focused squarely on the greatest economic mess since the Depresssion? Even if Waxman succeeds under such circumstances, he may be stuck with a weaker bill than he otherwise could have gotten.
I will explore what I see as Waxman's tactical mistake — trying to put energy legislation into his climate bill — in a later post.
Here is the full E&E Daily story:
The House has long been quiet on global warming. But that's about to change.
Democratic leaders envision a fast-paced year of debate on curtailing greenhouse gas emissions, starting with dozens of hearings and a markup before the Memorial Day recess on a comprehensive climate and energy policy bill in the Energy and Commerce Committee, led by new Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.).
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — after an outcry from environmentalists — has promised a first-ever floor vote in 2009 on cap-and-trade legislation. Pelosi cited Waxman's commitment to establish a price on carbon-based fossil fuels despite the otherwise heavy legislative agenda focused on the U.S. economic recovery.
More important, Democrats now have White House support for action on climate change. President Obama supports cap and trade as a principle ingredient to a new U.S. climate policy that he hopes to hold up during U.N.-led climate negotiations scheduled for December in Copenhagen.
Yet even with their eyes on a historic floor debate later this year, Pelosi and Waxman are largely working from a blank slate, a big contrast from their Senate colleagues who have taken three floor votes on cap and trade over the last seven years. Advocates in the House have some serious educating — and negotiating — to do to get their fellow lawmakers ready for a full-fledged climate and energy battle. And it will not be easy.
Looking down the road, cap-and-trade advocates would appear to have the inside track on passing a bill given the size of the Democratic majority (253-178, with two vacancies). Across the aisle, a few Republicans have already sized up the political landscape and see Obama and the Democrats eventually pulling it off.
"If Barack Obama is pushing for it, and Nancy Pelosi is pushing for it, and [Senate Environment and Public Works Chairwoman] Barbara Boxer is pushing for it and Henry Waxman is pushing for it, it probably happens," said Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), the former majority whip. "But that doesn't mean it happens in the right way, or the right time frame."
Environmentalists have been preparing for this moment for years. Several green groups consult their own private whip charts that break members up into different shades of "yes," "maybe" and "no." The Environmental Defense Fund has lobbied between 200 and 300 Democratic and Republican House members on the cap-and-trade debate.
E&E Daily also has projections on how a cap-and-trade bill will fare in the House, an analysis based on interviews with dozens of Democratic and GOP sources, as well as past environmental votes and cosponsorships of several previous cap-and-trade proposals written by Waxman, and Reps. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), John Olver (D-Mass.), Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), Thomas Petri (R-Wis.) and former Rep. — now Sen. — Tom Udall (D-N.M.).
To start, E&E's analysis shows supporters can count on a core group of 163 lawmakers in the "yes" column. This is a group made up almost entirely of Democrats who think a climate bill must adhere to some key fundamentals, including that it measure up to the scientific warnings about global warming. Members include Waxman, Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland, Reps. George Miller of California and Earl Blumenauer of Oregon.
Next comes the fence sitters, a group of 126 lawmakers with a significant number of concerns about how the bill will affect the U.S. economy and keep energy and fuel prices at sustainable levels. Reps. John Dingell (D-Mich.) and Rick Boucher (D-Va.), the former leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, stand out as the most prominent members of this group, which includes large voting blocs from the electoral battleground states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Michigan.
It is members from this group whom Pelosi, Waxman and other climate advocates must work if they want to pass climate legislation. In an interview last week, Waxman acknowledged as much. "We're going to reach out to Republicans and Democrats from all over the country to deal with this national and international problem," he said. "I don't think it's a partisan issue. We're hoping to develop as broad a consensus as possible, both in the committee and in the House."
As they woo the fence sitters, Pelosi and her whip team can reach the all-important 218 threshold by following any number of strategies. For one, they could choose just to lobby their own. Most of the maybes are Democrats (97). And they also are largely from states that Obama won in last November's election (91).
But the fence sitters are not likely to swing to the "yes" column without some concessions. Depending on how it is written, a climate bill could be costly, which does not bode well for the 32 members in the fence sitter column who also are part of the Democratic Blue Dog coalition, a group of fiscal conservatives.
The fence sitter category also includes a sizable number of lawmakers (56) who won their 2008 races with less than 60 percent of the vote — making their position on a controversial issue like climate change all the more important as they face voters again in less than two years. The fence sitters also include 34 first-term Democrats and Republicans, a disproportionate share of the 56-member freshman class in the 111th Congress.
Both book ends to the climate debate deserve scrutiny as well, including Democrats who support aggressive greenhouse gas targets but could get turned off by their own leadership's compromises, as well as rank-and-file Republicans who wince at the prospect of the Obama administration writing climate regulations under Supreme Court precedent from Massachusetts v. EPA.
Considering those dynamics, most vote counters say Pelosi and Boxer will have plenty of work to do before they can start planning for a White House signing ceremony.
"That last little bit to accomplish your goal is hardest," said David Goldston, former Republican staff director for the House Science Committee. "To be 40 or 50 short on an issue like this, no matter the pool, that's a heavy lift."
Rep. Darrel Issa (R-Calif.) said he questions whether cap-and-trade sponsors will be successful considering there are almost 100 House Democrats who do not begin the year in the "yes" column. "As soon as you've lost that many of the majority in lock step, you have a problem," Issa said.
Waxman does have the experience factor on his side. The 18-term congressman is likely to quarterback the climate bill when it hits the floor. And he will bring with him legislative skills renown on Capitol Hill, plus a staff led by longtime adviser Phil Barnett, and counselors Greg Dotson, Alexandra Teitz and Lorie Schmidt. Also working on Waxman's side is Phil Schiliro, the congressman's former chief of staff who is now serving as Obama's top congressional liaison.
"There are few people as astute as those guys," said Goldston, a visiting lecturer at Harvard University's Center for the Environment. "They'll know what they're getting into."
Trying to make Waxman look like a moderate
The climate bill's first test will come in Waxman's Energy and Commerce Committee.
Democrats hold a 36-23 ratio advantage there. But those numbers are deceptive considering at least a dozen of the majority party's members represent heavy industrial districts, with perspectives on environmental issues that do not typically line up with their new chairman (E&E Daily, Feb. 9, 2007).
Waxman has pledged to move his climate and energy bill through regular order, which means Rep. Ed Markey's (D-Mass.) newly created Energy and Environment Subcommittee will be the starting point for legislation. "We'll ask them to do that before, to the extent they can get all those issues resolved," Waxman said last week. "And what they can't get resolved in subcommittee, we'll deal with in full committee."
Markey started laughing when reporters asked him last week about his subcommittee markup plans, pointing out that there are several holidays still to come before reaching Waxman's Memorial Day goal. "Excuse me?" Markey said. "Have we hit Valentine's Day yet? Have we hit St. Patrick's Day yet? Have we hit Easter? Passover? May Day?"
Markey's panel holds its inaugural hearing Thursday (see related story).
It is no doubt that Markey's subcommittee will not be a very easy place to legislate. Boucher, the panel's former chairman, was repeatedly forced to lower his expectations on a climate bill because of GOP resistance, led in part by the Bush administration. To this day, nearly all of the Republicans on Markey's panel are skeptical of the type of climate bill its chairman envisions. And of the subcommittee's 21 Democrats, 11 also have pointed concerns about cap and trade.
"You may not have a majority for anything," said a former Democratic aide from the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Instead, Markey's most important role is a political one. "He's going to try to make Henry Waxman look like a moderate," the former Democratic aide said, before adding with a note of skepticism, "But that'll take some doing."
Another looming question is what Waxman actually has in mind for his "comprehensive climate and energy legislation." He is likely to pull from previous versions of cap-and-trade legislation, including his and Markey's proposals. There is also a Dingell-Boucher draft unveiled last fall that takes many of its core concepts from earlier global warming bills. As Waxman picks and chooses, he will need to resolve a series of complicated debates involving cost containment, emission allocations, greenhouse gas targets, offsets, technological availability, international competition and so much more.
On the energy side, a guessing game has broken out about what Waxman intends to include. Ideas on the table include Markey's bill establishing a national renewable energy portfolio, Boucher's proposal for a $1 billion fund to promote deployment of carbon capture and sequestration at power plants, an even more aggressive automobile fuel economy standard, incentives to promote development of a smart grid and a low carbon fuel standard akin to what California officials have implemented.
Waxman's silence is a smart strategy, according to the former House Democratic committee aide. "That's what a chairman is supposed to do," the former staffer said. "That's what Dingell would do. Why decide before you have to? Deciding means saying 'no.'"
As he proceeds, the House chairman also must take into account the evolving debate in the Senate, where vote counting will be critical if a climate/energy bill is going to win 60 votes and overcome a filibuster. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) supports cap-and-trade legislation but for now his focus is on a renewable portfolio standard and other items left out of previous energy legislative packages. Boxer has also vowed to mark up her own "simplified" version of cap and trade, the first step in a lengthy process that will not be successful unless Senate Democratic leaders can convince their own fiscal conservatives and moderates — known as the "Gang of 15" — to come along.
Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) said he welcomes Waxman's entry into a global warming debate that the Senate has been waging since the start of the Bush administration. "It might be good for the House if they want to do something," he said. "You get a chance to see the whites of their eyes. To see what they have and then figure out how does that fit in with some of the stuff we're thinking about."
Back in the Energy and Commerce Committee, it is often stated that a legislative victory there foretells success when the bill reaches the entire House. "If you do it in committee, I think you do a huge amount of what you need to do for the floor," said Manik Roy, vice president of federal outreach at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.
Where are the Republicans?
Republicans make up the other big element to the climate debate. While Arizona Sen. John McCain, the party's presidential nominee in 2008, supported cap-and-trade legislation, only a few other members of his party's congressional conference do too.
Gone are Reps. Sherwood Boehlert of New York, Christopher Shays of Connecticut and Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland, who is credited with bringing a handful of moderate Republicans along as cosponsors of cap-and-trade legislation.
In fact, E&E's analysis shows that only three House Republicans belong in the "yes" column at the moment: Delaware's Mike Castle and New Jersey's Frank LoBiondo and Christopher Smith. By contrast, at least 147 House Republicans have records on the issue that place them in the "no" camp.
Several Republicans interviewed in recent weeks said they doubt they will support global warming legislation because of the current state of the U.S. economy. "Once we get our legs back under us economically, then I want to go with this full force and I'll be a strong supporter," said Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.). "But I'm in no hurry right now."
"Right now the American people are focused on jobs and they know the best economic stimulus is a job," added Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). "I'd suggest this is not the time for that type of debate."
John Mimikakis, a former House Republican staffer on the Science Committee now working for the Environmental Defense Fund, said the GOP opposition also stems from Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), the ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Committee and an outspoken skeptic on climate science. "Because he's a prominent and respected member of the conference, it makes it challenging for someone to step up and be an alternative voice on the committee or even off the committee," Mimikakis said.
Yet according to E&E's analysis, Democrats will have a small group of about 29 Republican fence sitters to work with, lawmakers who come primarily from the mid-Atlantic states, Florida, Illinois and Ohio. "It's the moderate Republicans," said Rep. Stephen LaTourette (R-Ohio). "There aren't very many of us left."
LaTourette, who cosponsored Olver's cap-and-trade bill in 2007, said he probably will be there again when the climate debate reaches the floor. "I'm going to be consistent," he said. "But they can't change it in a way that moves too far, too fast."
Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) describes himself as the leader of the Republican House moderates. But Kirk said he has not been contacted yet by Democratic leaders on global warming, a complaint he has also been making along with other GOP members about the Obama-led push early this year to quick pass economic recovery legislation.
"You hope we act on climate change," said Kirk, who is considering a run for Obama's former Senate seat in November 2010. "If I was in a room with them, I'd say my advice is a bill which establishes a cap-and-trade system, which is more on the regulatory side, could achieve bipartisan support. A bill which put in carbon fees would collapse almost immediately in this environment."
Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) signed up in 2007 as a cosponsor to Olver's cap-and-trade bill at the encouragement of Gilchrest, the Maryland congressman who was defeated last year in the Republican primary by a more conservative opponent. In an interview last month, Bartlett said he is not so sure he will support a climate bill.
"Who's the Solomon who's going to ascribe the permissible CO2 levels for the different industries?" Bartlett said. Isn't that going to be Congress' responsibility? "That's incredible," Bartlett replied. "We are probably the least likely people to do it right."
With McCain at the top of their presidential ticket, even some of the most conservative members of the Republican Party seemed open to the idea of cap-and-trade legislation. "I think McCain is moving in a responsible direction," House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said in May 2008. "Clearly the issue of climate change is on the minds of a lot of people. Humans clearly contribute to this. It just really depends on what kind of a cap-and-trade system, what kind of safety valves are in there."
Other House Republicans also expressed interest in climate legislation last year, though their comments were sufficiently vague and later followed by an equal amount of skepticism about the overall idea. Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.), for example, told E&E Daily last May that there were about 10 coal-state Republicans willing to work on cap-and-trade legislation so long as it took industry concerns into account (E&E Daily, May 15, 2008).
With McCain back in the Senate and Democrats leading the debate, Republicans remain a difficult group to gauge. According to Goldston, GOP members are likely to peel off like layers of an onion. "The first ones are committed personally on environmental issues, you can get them unless there's some real concerns about some local interest," he said. "I can imagine a level of political pressure because their districts want them to be good on this."
Another group of Republicans could follow as the scientific warnings grow, and depending on public perception of climate and energy. A shift in GOP leadership could also free up the rank-and-file members to vote for a global warming bill, especially if the party takes a moderate shift in image makeover following sweeping electoral defeats in 2006 and 2008.
All things considered, Goldston said the process is still shaping up to be a long one. "Most of these bills take several cycles," he said. "It's a huge lift to try to do this without either the public or members having to get their teeth sunk into it before."
Well, I don't think this is going to take several cycles, even if you can't last year's Boxer- Lieberman-Warner bill as the first cycle. This needs to be done by the end of 2010, and Obama can get this done if he makes it a priority — and if Congressional leaders think both strategically and tactically.

"If I was in a room with them, I'd say my advice is a bill which establishes a cap-and-trade system, which is more on the regulatory side, could achieve bipartisan support. A bill which put in carbon fees would collapse almost immediately in this environment."
What is Rep. Kirk talking about? Does he understand that Cap and Trade will raise the price of carbon-intensive energy too?
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the conclusion that it will take several cycles, even though I will do everything I can to make myself a liar. As long as the West Virginia Congressional delegation is in the position to wield such power, we will not have meaningful action against coal. That may start with Robert "I know how to do a filibuster" Byrd and includes the Chair of the
House Committee on Natural Resources, Nick Rahall… a good man unless you are talking coal.
I will encourage as many other Californian's as I can to pressure Boxer to do more than issue platitudinous framework statements and actually get to work to move along legislation to do something.
I have contributed time and a small amount of money to remove the likes of Sen. Infofe… we should apply for a permit to put a wind turbine in front of his offices to make some good use of the hot air that flows from there… but I won't win that one either. Having lived in Tulsa, I know that the yellow dogs are now all Republicans.
The real problem is the fact that, if we don't get this right, all of the stimulus package machinations will only help us maintain a bad situation since the costs (insurance industry, relocation of populations, etc.) of non-action will wipe out whatever good the stimulus accomplishes and that won't be much if we waste it on tax cuts.
The final line tells the entire story. Congressional leaders will "think both stratecially and tactically" but their battle field is that of getting re-elected, not solving the climate change problem. Show me the "Congressional Leader" who is willing to put their seat on the line to do the right thing on climate change and I will be their number 1 supporter. The last person I knew willing to do that was Pete McCloskey.

Is a cap and trade system really a fait accompli? This country needs a full and open debate about meaningful and lasting climate change legislation and that discussion must include a revenue-neutral carbon tax. And while I understand the urgency to get a bill passed, I think it's possible that a fundamentally-flawed cap and trade system could do more harm than good in the long term. A carbon tax both avoids the evasion and market manipulation inherent to cap and trade and incentivizes the creation of new, climate-friendly technologies. In any case, we need a full and open debate before we jump headlong into one or the other. http://www.climatetaskforce.org

The intelligence community's advanced research organization wants to find live, real-world cyberattack data to test incursion detection techniques used by large organizations.
In a request for information posted March 4 on the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity web site, the group said it wants to find a better way to evaluate detection techniques as cyberattacks proliferate from different types of assailants and from varied geographical locations using multiple technologies.
ARPA said it is particularly interested in talking to vendors about structured databases used to document and report cyberattacks, with an eye toward minimal latency between report and the event. It also wants real-time enterprise data, such as host logs, security application logs and alerts, and help desk ticket details that cover the period of a cyber event.
The RFI said IARPA wants to get a better handle on which existing structured databases consistently document and report cyberattacks and how complete their global, regional or industry-specific reach is.
Additionally, it wants to find out what cyberattack attributes – including source and target IP ranges, time, intent, indicators of compromise, attacker attribution, victim details and magnitude -- are documented in the databases.
The agency also inquired about the possibility of partnering with a large organization with more than 5,000 users in a sponsored research program as a test bed.

Saints and fans are enthusiastic
Published: Monday, August 1, 2011 at 10:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 1, 2011 at 10:47 a.m.
As the New Orleans Saints took to the practice field late last week, their fans looked forward to the season to come with an excitement they have built over the past few years.
After an extended labor dispute between the NFL's owners and players was resolved, the teams were free to open their training camps.
For the Saints, that meant welcoming back to the fold most of the old, familiar faces — and some new ones as well.
Gone, for instance, is star running back Reggie Bush. Bush, who was so highly regarded coming out of college, dazzled fans and opponents at times, but struggled to stay healthy and on the field.
Though his loss is a big one, his replacement should bring his own share of highlights. Veteran running back Darren Sproles has been a steady player for the San Diego Chargers, running the ball, catching passes and returning kicks — much like the man he will be replacing. And Sproles has a history of staying healthy even as he stepped in at times in San Diego to be an every-down running back.
He played in all but two games over his five-year career with the Chargers. In contrast, Bush missed 20 games over the same five-year period. While Bush had moments of greatness, Sproles has been much more consistent.
The Saints and their fans are looking forward to a similar contribution in New Orleans.
Sproles, of course, will not be the only running back on the Saints' roster. They will also enter the season with their first-round draft pick Mark Ingram, proven veteran Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory, who had his own moments of greatness last year.
Along with the workhorses, the Saints boast one of the best, if not the best, quarterback in the NFL. Drew Brees has been a steady mark of excellence throughout his time in New Orleans, and there is every reason to think he will continue that streak.
In Brees' time in the Black and Gold, he has made the Saints into one of the top offenses every year. And his great weapons are with him yet again. Wide receivers Lance Moore and Marques Colston will be menacing opposing defenses just as they have for years.
Defensively, too, there is reason for optimism.
The Saints have signed most of their free agents and improved themselves with some signings from other teams.
Altogether, the Saints and their fans are looking forward to another successful season.
They might just be a few days into training camp, but the regular season can't get here soon enough for local fans.

Pliosaurs were a long-lived, ubiquitous group of Mesozoic marine predators attaining large body sizes (up to 12 m). Despite much being known about their ecology and behaviour, the mechanisms they adopted for prey detection have been poorly investigated and represent a mystery to date. Complex neurovascular systems in many vertebrate rostra have evolved for prey detection. However, information on the occurrence of such systems in fossil taxa is extremely limited because of poor preservation potential. The neurovascular complex from the snout of an exceptionally well-preserved pliosaur from the Kimmeridgian (Late Jurassic, c. 170 Myr ago) of Weymouth Bay (Dorset, UK) is described here for the first time. Using computed tomography (CT) scans, the extensive bifurcating neurovascular channels could be traced through the rostrum to both the teeth and the foramina on the dorsal and lateral surface of the snout. The structures on the surface of the skull and the high concentrations of peripheral rami suggest that this could be a sensory system, perhaps similar to crocodile pressure receptors or shark electroreceptors.

I leave them at home. To me they are much more fiddly than threading my suspension strap through the loop.

I leave them at home. To me they are much more fiddly than threading my suspension strap through the loop.
A becket hitch using webbing, mule tape or even amsteel, is lighter, cheaper and easier to use than any of the shiny hardware options available.
I've done the very same set up but found no need for any titanium hooks or a specific spreader bar.. I just inserted a hiking pole into the continuous loops on the head end of our two hammocks. It...
Over the years I've been hammock camping I've found, to my cost, that the knick knacks that generate so much hysteria on this forum have often proved a disappointment once they've made the expensive,...
Nice work.
Have you seen Tendertoe's ultralight hiker pole mod?
But don't you have to thread the cinch buckles each time?
You are welcome. I love the simple solutions. Especially when it means that you don't need to buy or carry extra gear. :)
So Tumbleweed, now you see why I was looking for some Muletape. :)
Turns out my version of this set up, using 2x14ft 1inch straps is lighter than my amsteel whoopies with whoopie hooks and tree straps with Dutch clips. It's also considerably easier to use, can be...
You are welcome. I can't take credit for the idea but it's a great pleasure to share it.
You could try a large pad like this one which is wide enough for hammock use and will mould around your body shape.
Tarp. Without doubt.
I use long webbing straps tied with a slippery sheet bend to the continous loops on my hammock. I has all the flexibilty and ease of use and because there's no hardware it's still one of the lightest...
But no hardware is needed if you have loops. I find tieing a slippery sheet bend even easier than speed hooks. (which I understand use the same idea as Hammock Anchors)
I've got TQ and UQ from http://ukhammocks.co.uk. Both are excellent.
I can't vouch for the quality of anything from DD.
I might be wrong but I think this is quite different from a tarp hook.
If the wind was high I'd just put a slippery half hitch on it.
I think these might be lighter than titanium. They are definitely cheaper.
You can use the Muletape with tree straps. Personally I run webbing all the way to amsteel continuous loops at the hammock ends for a cheap, reliable, hardware free suspension that can be adjusted...
A suspension set up like this including tree straps is lighter, cheaper and easier to use than any whoopie set up. But don't buy it. People throw this stuff away. You can get it for free.
Yes sorry I made an error calculating the OPs hammock weight. Should have read 617g.
I find webbing to amsteel is totally secure but whatever you choose be sure to test it before you rely on it.
I believe so. I think the only thing to avoid is amsteel to amsteel or dyneema to dyneema. They are too slippery.
I use it with webbing and amsteel loops. It is the best suspension system I've ever used and actually lighter and cheaper and more reliable and more adjustable.....
I see your hammock weighs 21.75oz. That converts to 786.70g.
My DIY hammock weighs less than 350g including suspension and together they cost less than £15 (that's 22.8811 of your funny money) :)
If you have continuous loops this method allows you to go as short as you like. No hardware needed.
I've been using this method to tie up my tarp since I read the original post. It is excellent. By far the best I've used to date. Better than the other hardware I've tried.
It's cheaper, lighter,...
The simple knot end is great way to make a hammock. Very secure and no sewing required. (I don't bother hemming the fabric either). Just be sure to use a longer piece as the knot reduces the length...
I can totally see it working with a kid on top but not so practical with two adults.
Love your idea with 3 trees, two tarps with porch mode facing each other. Must give that a try.
I'm also planning to use Tendertoe's amazing pole mod idea to open up the tarp at the head end.
So would you do it that way if you didn't have to? I'm planning a week long trip with my wife and it will be her first time sleeping in a hammock so I'm looking for a practical method that she will...
Is that a practical way to do it? The idea makes me a little nervous.
I just tried out this method using just one hiking pole at the head end of the two hammocks. It was a great success and surprising how short you can go with the pole.
I only extended the fatter...
It is such a great idea. It would be a shame if ideas like this got swamped beneath the what-to-buy-next posts.
Thanks to Tendertoe's genius idea, originally posted in 2012, I've just completed my sub 10 gram, pole mod using some masons line and my hiking poles.
Personally I would never have considered a...
Why is it tapered? Doesn't that mean you can only ever draw back one end?
Are you on commission?
I've got 2 projects brewing. A winter sock and a detachable bug net.
I want to put some mesh into my winter sock to prevent condensation but, as I'm planning it, it's beginning to resemble a bug...
If I were in your position I would not trust the Atlas straps even if ENO replaced them. Why not just buy some polyester webbing and tie a loop in one end like this:
Great. Thanks for your reply.
That's just what I was thinking of doing but I was surprised not to find it discussed here already.
I'll save it
I looked at the detail in the link. This so called 'Irish Wilderness' isn't even in Ireland!!!
Hi O&B
We're heading to Sweden for this trip. There are trees aplenty. Not too many really fat ones but with so many to choose from we should find something suitable.
The area looks like this....
Thanks Fronkey. It's great to see that the HG CF tarp is plenty big enough for two if pitch very low.
Do you find it's sometimes a chore to find three trees in just the right place?
Fatter trees... What could be simpler! I love this idea.
And as you say, if the" perfect trees" don't exist where I want them, then I think one of my trekking poles might work as a spreader. I'll...
I was thinking something like the way Detail Man does it in this video.
I'm planning a trip with my wife and hoping that we can both hang under my HG CF 4D tarp.
My current thinking is to hang the two hammocks from the same two trees and improvise a spreader bar at...
Have you seen this thread?
I made lots of expensive mistakes in my early hammocking days. If you can resist these urges it is very easy to DIY a hammock (even without sewing) and excellent suspension system for even less than...

I've decided to buy a Burley d'lite for my twins. I'm trying to decide between a 2009 that's been used less than 5 times for $200, a new 2012 close-out for $400, or a new 2013 model. I don't know much about the 2009 model, but it's practically brand new. I'm not crazy about the 2013 price, but I'm drawn to the new features below. Any advice on which year/model to choose? Is it worth the extra money for the features below? Would the 2009 be just as good? Or would you go the middle of the road?
- Easy fold frame latches
- Wheel Activated Suspension
- Seat clips for easy removal of the seat
- Adjustable active suspension
- Retractable sunshade

They weren't?
Especially when the House Committee on Assassinations admitted years after the Warren Report that it was a conspiracy.
Do you have the same suspicions that if you just believe hard enough that Tinkerbell will live?
To refute everything in it.
Everyone involved was a friend of Lyndon, even the owner of the Depository, who got out of Dodge for that day and went to Africa. He didn't want to be around if the coup failed. lol
I can duplicate the shots! On the ABC special they had a 75-year (or so) old man duplicate the shots and he didn't even try hard. It's easy.
King a communist conspirator? No way.
Admissions tend to be believable. No one has an incentive to say "I lied" if they didn't lie.
Bumped into a website which has some interesting tidbits. Plug in Jack Ruby in the search function on the main page and check it out. Connect more dots from Chuck and Sam Giancana's book, "Double Cross."
You're full of it! 45 degrees down from the back is the stomach!
Huh? Stop repeating stuff from Oliver Stone movies. The picture from the autopsy is in number 37. It looks like it was about an inch to an inch and a half below the collar line. Have you looked at the photo in number 37? It even has a ruler there.
Would you believe me if I did or would you just make up some other excuse? I'm convinced that nothing I do or say will convince you otherwise from you present beliefs. I've posted three photos. Where's your evidence*?
*You ain't got none.
What was Specter's role? I thought he was on the Commission when he first put forth the "magic bullet" theory? Or was he just counsel?
However, I'm also aware of four simple facts.
First, it is possible that Oswald acted alone. I don't think it's likely, particularly when he gets knocked off by a guy that runs a topless bar and has known mob connections. I have several other problems with this scenario, but the Ruby hit on Oswald is the biggest indicator to me that something bigger was going on.
Second, LBJ, even in his biography, was more interested in getting the Kennedy assassination investigation finished than in an actual investigation (in his book, he phrases it more like putting the American people's mind at ease or something. It's been years since I read it).
Third, so many people have traipsed over the evidence that it's impossible to clearly determine what is fact, wishful thinking, planted evidence, lost evidence, etc. Trying to discover the truth now is like trying to use a bloodhound to track someone who walked through Grand Central Station in 1963.
Fourth, a series of events took place that made the Kennedy assassination the most tantalizing mystery in US history. It happened in front of millions of people; there were videos and photos of it; the murderer wasn't seen by anyone at the time of the assassination; he got murdered a couple of days later by a guy who later died of cancer. It's a cottage industry that probably brings in more money than Roswell, the Loch Ness monster and Harry Potter combined. There will always be another theory, as long as there's a buck to be made.
And a sucker willing to part with his money.
That's like going to the Clinton library to prove that Clinton never committed treason. lol You're seeing what Hoover et al wanted you to see.
Are you aware that 45 degrees is perfectly diagonal? Stand with your back against a wall in front of a mirror that's sideways to you, go perfectly diagonal from the back and you'll see the exit is at the stomach. Even starting at the very top of the back the exit is still at the bottom of the ribcage. Back-to-throat is upwards!
So then what are you saying? The autopsy photo is a fake? The car's seats were not in the same position as depicted in the photo? And that is not Kennedy's shirt? It's all fake? As opposed to what? The evidence consisting here so far in this thread of a single hand-drawn illustraion that is wrong based on every photo taken that day? How many people were in on your "conspiracy"? Everybody with a camera in Dealy Plaza that day? You'll need a triple-layer of tinfoil to deflect that amount of bunkum.
The pro-Warren Report book writers know that for sure.
Are you aware that your collarbone is much lower than the back of your collar?
I've borrowed this photo of this fine gentleman and tracing a 45-degree angle from the bottom of the knot on his tie upwards ends up at a position where the photo in 37 shows the other wound to be. Try it. Get out a protractor and use the image on your screen. Right now. Go do it.
Kennedy didn't have earlobes and the back of his head was gone. Those photos are of someone else. Earlobes just don't magically appear.
The car's seats were not in the same position as depicted in the photo?
Doesn't matter with a 45 degree entrance angle. The bullet would've hit the floorboard.
And that is not Kennedy's shirt?
Yes, that's his shirt. Think about who else was killed that day while Oswald was already in the theater by the way. There were two bodies in the morgue at the same time that looked a lot alike. How convenient.
It's all fake? As opposed to what? The evidence consisting here so far in this thread of a single hand-drawn illustraion that is wrong based on every photo taken that day?
With a 45 degree entrance wound it doesn't matter anyway.
How many people were in on your "conspiracy"?
Hoover, Johnson, and the police chief at least.
Everybody with a camera in Dealy Plaza that day?
Most of the footage wasn't realeased for years. Who knows what is real.
You'll need a triple-layer of tinfoil to deflect that amount of bunkum.
Was the Henry Marshall "suicide" really a suicide? Explain how a guy commits suicide with a bolt-action rifle and shoots himself 5 times in the head with it.
No, I went out and did it! I used a Mosin-Nagant instead of a Mannlicher-Carcano since that was all I had, but it was simple even with the more difficult to use Nagant bolt. I did not have to rush at all. Have you tried it?
Now you've got the entrance wound clear up at the base of the skull? Come on now, you're changing the evidence.
There was a bullet hole in the windshield.
I might as well argue with a stump. Good bye.
That would make the entance wound in the base of the skull. The magic bullet entrance wound was in the back.
There a zoo full of books on the American Revolution too, that doesn't mean the Revolution didn't happen.

Props To 50 Cent
I must give props to 50 Cent for the new remix of "Outta Control," which features the original gun clappers Mobb Deep. What makes the song great is its beat. It is slow, spaced widely, with a spare piano loop and guitar lick. I heard it for the first time two nights ago at the Bada Lounge. The DJ closed his set with it, and everyone cleared the dance floor because "Outta Control" is not a dance song. As I have said many times before, real hiphop is not dance music. It is music for, at the very most, nodding your head. And this is hiphop's the great achievement. Its beatwhich is hard, gritty, and spaced like city blocksmade dancing look ridiculous, and this ridiculousness liberated men from the tedium (and pressure) of, when in clubs, having to ask girls to dance. Before the invention of the hiphop beat, men had to walk around the club asking girls if they would dance with them because men couldn't dance by themselves without ridicule. After the invention of the hiphop beat, men could finally dance by themselves, beer in hand, head nodding somewhat somberly. Indeed, it is this liberation that, in the late 90s, caused the music industry to inject hiphop with heavy doses of R&B (The Neptunes, for example), so that men would be forced to ask women to dance again and again and again (finally one says yes, and then you get aroused, and then she leaves you in that state when the song is overwhat a waste of bloody time and energy). 50 Cent's "Outta Control" is an admirable attempt to restore the proper hiphop order of the dance-liberated dance floor.

The night before we left, on Sunday, he was already down to 8 lb 4 oz. doctors weren't worried, he was wetting enough diapers. Yesterday at our doctors appointment he was 7 lbs 13 oz. Doctor was concerned as there were crystals in his urine indicating he was dehydrated. She sent me home with formula to supplement, she said 1-2 oz after each BF session, and told me to only supplement for two days. I also talked to her about using a pacifier because he was constantly using me to soothe and I was feeling lost. She told me it would be fine. And he was visibly and clearly happier after we began using a pacifier.
Since he was born he has refused to sleep on his back in the cradle at the hospital or in his pack n play bassinet. I have had him sleep on me with a Snuza Hero monitor on his diaper for peace of mind. He wails if we put him on his back. During the day he will sleep in his bouncer, but not any other time.
When I'm nursing he frequently detaches or will not latch (before and after starting supplementing). He is often asleep when I am trying to nurse and despite my best efforts almost never fully wakes up (had blood drawn for jaundice yesterday). When he does nurse he sucks for a couple seconds, stops for a couple and starts and so on. When we left the hospital he was wetting less and hadn't had a dirty diaper, but after supplementing he has had a wet or dirty after every feeding.
I know there aren't questions in there, but I'm so lost. He is now fighting to even latch, still will only sleep on me. I pumped last night and got an ounce per breast, so I know my milk came in. I'm just a FTM with no friends that successfully BF and I am beyond lost and so sad that I feel like I'm failing. I know this is long but any help is appreciated.

Released: Feb 01st, 1995
Running Time: 68
Director: Taylor Hudson
Company: Catalina Video
Cast: Brandon Wells, Joe Spears, Steven Marks, Paul Bain, Rod Majors, Hunter Scott, Josh Powell, Tony Hampton, Rob Cryston, J.T. Sloan, Jeff Mitchell
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
A nice fake background sets the stage for an "outdoor" camping trip that becomes sex around the campfire. The double entendres fly with clever lines like "I thought you might need help getting it up – the tent." Edited by award-winning director Tab Lloyd, there's some great sex shots like Hunter Scott giving head through the mirror of a motorcycle (reminiscent of Jim Steel's brilliant Crossroads.) The best duo in the whole thing sis between Rob and Rod, and their voraciously juicy appetites for each other's cocks. Their oral scene is mouthwatering, as is the scene with Paul Bain. But the oral talking is a bit tiring; boyfriends talking about boyfriends who are at home – and you really don't care anymore.
Where it falls short is the thin storyline, obviously fake set and fairly boring musical score. The boxcover isn't at all interesting and says nothing about what's inside.

More Royal Wedding News! Kate Middleton has commissioned Irish hat designer-to-the-stars Philip Treacy to create the head-toppers for the wedding party at her spring nups to Britain's Prince William.
"There are going to be some flamboyant creations…Kate is keen on wearing something fabulous in the evening as well," says a source.
If Treacy's name sounds familiar, it should. The fashionisto is the man behind a bevy of bizarre hats made popular by quirky style star Lady Gaga. Does Ms. Germanotta's telephone-shaped topper ring a bell? He's also a favorite of Sex and the City actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
Kate and Wills are set to tie the knot at Westminster Abbey in London on April 29.
