I have a variable that I'm pulling into a table that sometimes is a date and sometimes is a string. If the variable is a date, I want to change the formatting:
{{ action.extra_column|date:"M d" }}
But if it is a string, I just want to display it as is:
{{ action.extra_column }}
If I try to format it and it is a string, I get no output for the variable.
How can I determine the type so that I can adjust my rendering based on type.

The Making of a Conspiracy Theory: Michael Jackson Environmentalist and Smear Campaigns
Michael Jackson was feared by some because he was a star and the power that he had.
I believe the accusations of molestation and pedophilia were part of a smear campaign against him by organized crime who wanted to control him, subjugate him, and I believe it is linked to the oil industry and former U.S. administration.
Note: with discussions on facebook and strong attacks by what are referred to as "trolls" in regards to Michael Jackson being a pedophile strengthens my believe that he was the victim of a smear campaign.
Michael Jackson and the FBI - June 25, 2009 rest in peace Michael
Michael Jackson's life was surrounded by people who wanted to control him, that pretended to be friends in attempts to control him and his money, that wanted his money or that wanted to find ways, conspirer, to get or take his money from him. Some people would call these kinds of people "snakes"."
Mobbing in Modern Society: Michael Jackson, Organized Crime, Mob "ice pick"
"The criminal psychological harassment network that I've been documenting uses workplace psychological harassment to eliminate a person's means of subsistence, the homelessness weapon, and advanced technology such as sound technology in attempts to subjugate a victim or kill them through sleep deprivation aka heart disease and stroke. -- I believe something similar was done to Michael Jackson who was using powerful drugs to "put him out"."
"Mobbing in Modern Society: Michael Jackson and the Pedophilia Weapon
What could be used to try to bring down a popular star or threat that is loved worldwide like Michael Jackson, the pedophilia weapon and this weapon is part of a toolset in Mobbing in Modern Society.
I believe Michael Jackson was assassinated by this type of advanced technology weapon aka sleep deprivation and what happened to him had many components of Mobbing in Modern Society such as a degrading themes, the pedophilia weapon, a smear campaign, false accusations, and people who feared him, wanted to control him, subjugate him, or make an example of him linked to the mob or organized crime.
- One possible link is one of his last songs "Look What They've Done to the World", which is linked to the environment, something the oil industry or the Bush oil and Cheney Halliburton oil industry may not have liked.
- And I also believe the gulf oil spill was an attack on the current Obama administration and linked to attempts to hide the acidification of the oceans due to fossil fuel burning.
- Do you believe the oil industry would appreciate a powerful environmental activist like Michael Jackson?
- Are global warming and the acidification of the oceans due to fossil fuel burning a hoax?
I still find it strange how it was all about the drugs and the doctor and nothing as to why or the high levels of sleep deprivation.
June 25 R.I.P. Michael Jackson"
Note: the song is called "The Earth Song"
Mobbing in Modern Society: WikiLeaks Julian Assange Claims Pentagon Behind Smear Campaign
Julian Assange the founder of WikiLeaks claims he is the victim of a smear campaign, rape and molestation, in Sweden and believes the Pentagon may be behind it.

One great to convey/share information is in a video, people seem to remember things better when they see them rather than just reading about it. Traditionally within Microsoft this is done by producing the videos and having a Microsoft microsite created around them, something along the lines of www.microsoft.com/bpio/ucg/tdm/bmo/media/videos/list.aspx or something equally as lengthy.
Well I am pleased to say that in a similar way to how a number of Microsoft employees are using blogs to get the message out (its much quicker than trying to get a website updated), the UC team in the US are using YouTube as a means to get the videos out there.
Pop along to http://uk.youtube.com/user/OCSR2Launch for the full list of videos and subscribe if you want to know when they post more. I have however included a few links below of my favourites, all of which show that people at Microsoft have a sensor of humour too …. although acting skills vary (not sure I could do better myself)
Question I ask myself, is it a good thing that I can make a blog post or upload a video representing my company so easily a good thing or a bad thing?

Review: 'Paul Williams Still Alive' offers affectionate, insightful look at '70s icon
Paul Williams was at his most famous when I was still a little kid. I remember seeing him on variety shows, in "Smokey & The Bandit," as an orangutan in one of the "Planet Of The Apes" sequels, and above all, I remember his omnipresence as a singer/songwriter. Even if I didn't know those were his songs at the time, my childhood was largely underscored by the work of Paul Williams.
As I've gotten older, I've learned a great appreciation for his body of work, and there are some high points that mean quite a bit to me. I think "Phantom Of The Paradise" is fantastic, and the songs in that film are almost always on my iPod when I travel. His song for the original "Muppet Movie," the heartbreaking "The Rainbow Connection," is one of the first songs I learned to play on the piano as a kid. And well before its critical rehabilitation began, I was a huge fan of the work he did for "Ishtar," a hilarious goof on the very art of songwriting.
Beyond that, though, I find that a love of his work has been a common thread that has been part of many of my friendships. The first time I met Guillermo Del Toro was at the very first Butt-Numb-A-Thon, when he brought his personal 35mm print of "Phantom" and informed me as he sat down next to me that I was expected to sing along to all the songs with him. How could I not end up loving this guy? Edgar Wright was the first person to tell me how much of a tradition "Bugsy Malone" was for kids growing up in the UK, and his love of Williams and his work couldn't be more palpable in conversation. When I met Nic Cage the first time on the set of "Kick-Ass," I had been warned that he probably wouldn't talk to me since I was press, but as soon as I mentioned how much his Big Daddy mask looked like the one from "Phantom Of The Paradise," he lit up and told me it's his favorite film, the movie that made him want to make movies, and right away, there was an easy line of communication opened.
So when I was going through all of my pre-Toronto e-mails and I noticed one that was offering up an interview with Williams, I wrote back immediately to say yes. I didn't even care what film the interview was for. I was willing to talk to him on general principle. It is with enormous relief that I can now say that the movie, a documentary by director Steven Kessler, is great fun and a sometimes deeply touching portrait of a man who has survived his own worst instincts to find a kind of post-fame peace. What I'm curious about is how many younger people even know who Williams is, and a film like this could serve just as a strong primer on his work and his impact on pop culture, but Kessler seems to have something else in mind, and the result is both more personal and more effective at making a case for the greatness of Williams and his work.
Kessler has made a few features in the past, including "The Independent" and "National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation," but in this film, he's actually part of the story. I think it's dangerous to make a documentary where you are as much as part of the film as whatever your subject is, and there are many cases where I think that can be insufferable. Here, though, the film actually arose from Kessler's mistaken assumption that Williams had died after or during his well-publicized battle with drugs and alcohol. Considering the low profile Williams has had for many years, that's not a bad assumption, but when Kessler learned that Williams was not only alive but planning to perform at a Winnipeg event called "Phantompalooza," he grabbed a camera and headed out to record some footage of the man he once idolized. That sparks a conversation with Williams, and that sparks the idea of following him around to see what his life is like today. That's pretty much all the explanation you need of the film, but of course, what makes it work is the wealth of details, and Kessler's two-year shoot netted him some remarkable material. He's shaped it into a film that is both very funny and occasionally very moving. That's fitting, since the public persona Williams was known for on his 50 appearances on "The Tonight Show" and all of his game show and talk show appearances over the years. He could crack a joke with the best of them, but his music was all shot through with melancholy and sorrow.
Kessler's film traces Williams and his career for a while, intercutting that with Kessler's attempts to win Williams over to the idea of a documentary about himself. It's Williams who seems uncomfortable being the only one onscreen, and he basically order Kessler to step in front of the camera with him so that it feels more like a conversation. Once that happens, the natural defenses that Williams has developed over his 40 or so years in show business start to crumble, and the real person underneath the image begins to emerge. While the Williams I remember from '70s pop culture was bold, brash, given to a sort of non-stop celebration of his own awesomeness, there is a humble, centered quality to who he is now that seems far more self-aware. When he speaks about his early failed marriages, or when he looks back at his own behavior, it's obvious that he's not thinking of the professional landmarks he accomplished, but rather the personal landmarks where he stumbled.
Because Kessler comes to Williams as a fan first and a filmmaker second, there is a reverence that keeps him at arm's length from his subject for a while, but the more time they spend together, the more they loosen up. You can also see how protective Williams's wife is and how she wants to be sure that Williams isn't exploited. One of the things I found most moving about the film is how blunt Williams is about his own recovery, and how much it means to him to help others find their way to sobriety. There's a song he wrote and recorded for the end of the film called "Still Alive," and while the years have taken a toll on his singing voice, there's something appropriate about the somewhat ragged, raw delivery of the tune. And like his best work, it combines a wry sense of lyrical play with a direct emotional honesty that cuts through presentation and style completely.
The film is very funny, but never at the expense of its subject, and never at the expense of the moment. It's just that Williams still has a lovely, sharp sense of humor, and Kessler is able to acknowledge the absurdity of his own discovery process on the film. What could have easily been a dry recitation of a public history or a fawning love letter to an idol avoids all of the easy pitfalls to discover a stirring and sweet story of survival and the way art can connect and affect us even decades after its creation.
"Paul Williams Still Alive" is currently seeking US distribution.

Rituxan Might Help Treat RA When Anti-TNF Fails
A study weighs various biologics as treatment for RA.
Even though biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, or biologic DMARDs, have been around for more than a decade, rheumatologists are still trying to understand how to target the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. And while biologics have been game changers for many people with rheumatoid arthritis, or RA, the success has not been uniform – some patients don't respond completely or at all, some stop responding after a while, and some can't tolerate them.
That issue is a priority for rheumatologists as the gap in outcomes between responders and non-responders grows. Should a patient who doesn't improve or respond well to a type of biologic called an anti-tumor necrosis factor drug, or anti-TNF, try a second anti-TNF or another type of biologic altogether?
One study, published in Arthritis Care & Research in 2012, suggests that RA patients who don't respond to an anti-TNF may get better results if they try a biologic called rituximab (Rituxan) instead of a second anti-TNF.
The treatment options for new RA patients are relatively well understood up to a point. Typically, a patient newly diagnosed with RA is put on one or a combination of traditional DMARDs, such as methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), or leflunomide (Arava). If the patient can't tolerate or doesn't respond to traditional DMARDs, he or she is stepped up to a biologic. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) guidelines for DMARD therapies, revised in 2012, lists anti-TNFs as the first-line choice among biologics.
Anti-TNFs – also called TNF inhibitors or TNF blockers – work by blocking tumor necrosis factor, a cytokine, or protein, that promotes an inflammatory response. The five anti-TNFs on the market are adalimumab (Humira), certolizumab pegol (Cimzia), etanercept (Enbrel), golimumab (Simponi), and infliximab (Remicade).
When an anti-TNF works, it works well, but when it doesn't, the alternatives are other anti-TNFs or other biologic DMARDs that work via different mechanisms. Rituximab is a selective B-cell inhibitor; anakinra (Kineret) is an interleukin-1 inhibitor; tocilizumab (Actemra) is an interleukin-6 inhibitor; and abatacept (Orencia) is a selective costimulation modulator.
"Our study showed that, overall, the response was slightly better in patients who were switched to rituximab," says study author Kimme Hyrich, MD, PhD, from the Arthritis Research Epidemiology Unit at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom.
In the study, researchers analyzed information from a database called the British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register. They looked at two different subgroups of patients who had "failed" a first anti-TNF treatment (for any reason – either inadequate or no response, loss of response or inability to tolerate) and then switched to either rituximab or another anti-TNF. Because this was a retrospective analysis of existing data, the patients were not randomly assigned to receive a particular second biologic.
Both groups were evaluated when they started the second therapy and again six months later. Improvements in one subgroup were measured using the Disease Activity Score (DAS28), an assessment based on 28 tender and swollen joints. Improvements in the second subgroup were measured using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), a patient-reported measure of physical function and disability levels.
In the group with DAS28 scores, 54.8% of those who took rituximab reported a "good" or "moderate" response (according to the European League Against Rheumatism criteria) six months after they had switched, compared to 47.3% of those who took a second anti-TNF. In the group with HAQ scores, 38.4% on rituximab reported they experienced a clinically important improvement compared to 29.6% in the anti-TNF group. In both subgroups, the differences in improvement between the rituximab and the anti-TNF groups were considered statistically significant.
But there is still much to learn. Dr. Hyrich says researchers are still trying to understand why some patients respond better to one drug than another. "I don't think we fully understand the way in which rituximab is controlling symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis. There is some evidence that patients who are positive for rheumatoid factor or anti-CCP antibodies will respond better to rituximab compared to those who are negative for these antibodies," she says. "In other patients, TNF may be less important in their inflammation and other proteins or cells more important."
Dr. Hyrich says the most important thing patients should do is discuss their individual treatment options with their rheumatologist.
Daniel E. Furst, MD, the Carl M. Pearson Professor of Rheumatology at UCLA Medical Center, believes some imbalances may exist in the patient groups in this study because patients were not randomly assigned a second biologic. That could have biased the results to favor rituximab, he says. For example, among the DAS28 group, nearly 60% of patients who switched to a second anti-TNF stopped the first one because of inefficacy. "If that group stopped because of primary inefficacy – rather than for loss of response or adverse event – one wouldn't expect the second [anti-TNF] to work, but they switched to the [anti-TNF] anyway," Dr. Furst explains. "There's a chance these [results] were biased because of the reasons patients switched."
Dr. Furst, who was one of the lead authors of the ACR's revised guidelines for DMARD therapy, believes one must understand why a patient failed the first anti-TNF to get a sense of how well he or she will do with the medication they try next. That's what he and his colleagues tried to keep in mind when they were revising the guidelines, thus allowing for greater flexibility and choice, he says.
The updated guidelines recommend that patients who have no response or an inadequate response to an anti-TNF after three months try either a second anti-TNF or a different type of biologic. If a patient experienced a serious adverse event, the guidelines recommend switching to a biologic that isn't an anti-TNF.
"If the patient 'failed' because they had absolutely no response, it makes good sense to try a drug like Rituxan or another non-TNF biologic," Dr. Furst says. "This approach is supported by the medical literature."
Robert Katz, MD, professor of medicine at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, says patients should also keep in mind practical considerations when making a switch to a second biologic. "There could be problems regarding insurance, method of administration [infusion vs. injection], and doctor preference and the location of infusion facilities that could also influence this decision," he says.
Dr. Hyrich says the British Society for Rheumatology receives funding from a number of pharmaceutical companies including Abbott, Amgen, Roche, Schering-Plough, and Wyeth. But she says all decisions regarding analysis and publication were independent from pharmaceutical funding.

South Korea's Park In-Bee, the world number one bidding for an LPGA Grand Slam, tunes up this week at the Marathon Classic ahead of next month's Women's British Open.
Park has won the year's first three major titles among six victories in 2013, becoming the first woman since Babe Zaharias in 1950 to capture the first three majors in a season.
"This is the time that I really need to keep my game going and sharpen it up," Park said. "Now is not the time to relax. I really want to keep it going for maybe a month, and then I could have as much time as I want."
This week's $1.3 million event in suburban Toledo is the final LPGA tournament before Park's next major test, the Women's British Open at legendary St. Andrews.
"I am so happy to go to the home of golf. That's every golfer's dream, going there and playing," Park said. "That's a golf course where you want to go and play well, and hopefully you can hold the trophy. It's a historic golf course. It's unique."
Should Park win there, she could complete a sweep of all five of this year's LPGA majors by defending her title in France in September at the Evian Championship, an event promoted to major status for this season.
Every new major title has added to the pressure upon Park, who captured the Kraft Nabisco crown in April, the LPGA Championship and US Women's Open in June and non-major crowns in Thailand, Texas and Arkansas.
"First major, I didn't really think about any kind of history or anything," Park said.
"After winning the second one, they just told me I was the third player to win two major tournaments in a row. So now I start to think a little bit about a row of major championships."
With men's golf typically having four events in a Grand Slam, there is a sense that Park will complete a Slam sweep by winning at St. Andrews.
"I think I can treat it like a Grand Slam," Park said. "It's four out of five and I've won the Evian before. So truly, if I win the British Open, I will have put my name on every major trophy."
Saying that, however, Park does not diminish the status of the French event, saying that for her, the $3.2 million event has always been a major.
"Evian, this year it became a major, but the last 10, 20 years that we had the Evian we always treated it like major tournament anyway, so there is no change to us," Park said. "I've always treated Evian as a major."
South Korea's Ryu So-Yeon will try to defend her title this week. Ryu was second to Park at the Kraft Nabisco and Northwest Arkansas Championships and admires what her compatriot has done this season.
"In-Bee is probably a really good role model for all the junior golfers," Ryu said. "She's a really great inspiration to a lot of golfers. She's really famous in Korea right now and really popular worldwide. She has inspired really good things."

Trump is a bully
Say goodbye to everything that makes America great and keeps our democracy working if Trump is elected. I refuse to believe that a majority of Americans could be fooled by a con artist, bully and a fascist. Oh, and Trump is unqualified to be president of anything. He's filed bankruptcy many times and exploited his employees and committed fraud via Trump "University." He's an ugly, hateful American who will destroy what's left of middle class and democracy.

I took a test for ajob I forgot that I had taken 10 mg a couple of nites before is this going to give me a dirty urine.

Zolpidem interacts w/GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complexes which could make Zolpidem show up as a benzodiazepine. Before taking any Urinalysis take your prescriptions with you and show them to the person doing the UA, therefore proving you have a valid prescription and can be taking that medication. They will accept it and notify your boss or whoever they report the test results to and it will all be good. No worries. Hope this helps. Good Luck
p.s. I doubt it will show up in a drug test just so you know.

Gross's Pimco Total Return Fund Drew $231 Million in January
Bill Gross's Pimco Total Return Fund, the world's biggest mutual fund, attracted $231 million in investor deposits in January as performance rebounded.
The new money ended three straight months of redemptions from Pimco Total Return, according to data compiled by Chicago-based Morningstar Inc. Investors pulled about $3 billion from the fund in the three months ended Dec. 31, bringing withdrawals last year to $5 billion, the research firm said.
The $250.5 billion Pimco Total Return has advanced 2.4 percent this year, beating 99 percent of similarly managed funds, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The fund last year rose 4.2 percent, lagging behind 69 percent of its peers, after Gross missed a rally in U.S. Treasuries and put money into riskier assets.
Gross, who eliminated Treasuries from the fund a year ago, reversed his position and boosted the proportion of U.S. government debt to 30 percent as of the end of December, according to data on Pimco's website. Investor deposits into the fund were reported earlier by the Wall Street Journal.

This heart-warming novella, set in the 1940s, is a prequel to Rachael Herron's bestselling novel, Eliza's Gift. Home isn't always a place…
It's 1945, the war is over, the GIs are returning . . . and Eliza Masterson is on the run from her unhappy marriage. At least she would be if her truck hadn't broken down in the middle of nowhere and her money hadn't, quite literally, flown out the window.
So when Joshua Carpenter, a cowboy with the most brilliant blue eyes she has ever seen, stops to offer her help, Eliza can't afford to say no . . .
Joshua, it seems, is single-handedly building a home for himself on farmland just outside the town of Cypress Hollow. And even though Eliza is determined to keep running, she is about to discover that sometimes running away is the only way to come home…
Telling the story of one of her most loved characters, Eliza's Home is an absolute treat for Rachael Herron fans, and anyone who can't resist a captivating tale of love…

Oh, what a wonderfully written story. I will confess upfront that I love Rachael Herron – I am a massive fan of her books and the characters contained within. So it was with much happiness that I read this novella about Eliza – someone you read about in other books but don't really know. It is very sweet, and as I have already said, wonderfully written. It is too short – I was warned that it was a novella and it is a complete story, but I still want more! I think that's because Rachael Herron writes in such a masterful way that you fall in love with her characters and want to know more about them. You become invested in them and want to know what happens in their lives. Anyway, for a novella, it is a great story with wonderful characters living a hard but fruitful life. This book was even better upon a second read. I'm chanting from the cheering section 'We want more, Rachel, we want more!'

The Alabama Department of Public Health partnered with the U.S. Department of Health to celebrate Men's Health Month.
This is the first national celebration for the state.
The purpose is to heighten awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection.
Health officials say men are at a higher risk of diseases because many don't have health coverage.
"Heart disease, cancer, and accidents are many times preventable by changes in lifestyles," says Dr. Nelson Gwinn, Cardiologist- Southeast Alabama Medical Center.
The Southeast Alabama Medical Center will host Men's Health Day Saturday, August 7th at Northview High School.

Skip to comments.Michael Moore Tops List of Least-Intriguing Stars
Posted on 11/22/2004 6:15:21 PM PST by AmericanMade1776
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Director Michael Moore, whose anti-Iraq (news - web sites) war film "Fahrenheit 9/11" sparked a firestorm of controversy before becoming a post-election footnote, topped an annual list on Monday of Hollywood's "coldest" celebrities.
The outspoken documentarian, who seemed to be everywhere during the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign, urging defeat of President Bush (news - web sites), ranks No. 1 on this year's "Frigid 50" roster of lackluster stars published by online movie magazine FilmThreat.com.
The Web site, known for an anti-establishment take on the entertainment industry, said its list names the stars it found to be the "the polar opposite of the hottest celebrities: these are the least powerful, least-inspiring, least-intriguing people in Hollywood."
Ranked No. 2 was actress Halle Berry (news), who followed up her Oscar-winning turn in "Monster's Ball" with less critically lauded roles in such films as "Gothica" and "Catwoman."
(Excerpt) Read more at story.news.yahoo.com ...
Michael who?
Film Threat Site http://www.filmthreat.com/
thread already discussing ...
Feh. Can we try not to give this lardy blowhard more than his freakin 15 minutes?
Ironically, he tops the list of stars in gravitational force.
One thru ten did not work.. for me
Walt Disney Co. chief executive Michael Eisner was ranked No. 3 on the list, which cited this year's revolt by dissident shareholders, a hostile takeover bid by Comcast, public spats with Pixar and Miramax and a string of such flops as "Home on the Range, "The Alamo" and "Hidalgo."
He was followed at No. 4 by director M. Night Shyamalan whose latest thriller, "The Village" and its "surprise ending" were widely seen as falling far short of the pre-release hype.
Comic actors and frequent co-stars Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson were jointly listed at No. 5 for their appearances in a recent string of "mass-produced mediocrity."
Rounding out the top 10 were: Reese Witherspoon (a "Little Miss Cutesy-Wutesy" whose recent "Vanity Fair" role offered a "disastrous full view of her limitations as an actress"); Jimmy Fallon (news) ("The guy most notorious for blowing his lines on 'Saturday Night Live' crossed over to the big screen in 'Taxi' -- and nobody cared"); Paris Hilton ("She's like a computer virus out of control and she must be stopped") and Ben Affleck (news) ("He's been cursed with the incredible shrinking career").
He had a cameo role in America's Team as a suicide bomber.
Sorry to see Mell and W on the list...
WOW! I have a 1975 Guinness Book of Records that has that picture. I haven't seen that since I was a kid!
I know...saw that too....
Julia Roberts should be on the list IMHO.
"FahrenBLIGHT 9/11" gives new meaning to the word disengenuous, and sets a new record for continuing 'disingenuousness' in a CRAP-umentary. Is there a Golden Globes category for that?
If you think "FahrenBLIGHT 9/11 was a 'disingenuousness' in a CRAP-umentary, wait for the sequel Moore is making..."FahrenBLIGHT 9/11 Returns"
And the worthless Democrats wonder what the American people mean by "moral values"!
Ha! Funny. I looked at that picture and for some reason thought and remembered the same thing. It looks like a picture from the Guinness record book that I had as a kid.
michael moore helped to re-elect bush. by being a scruffy incarnation of the corn-cobbing left, moore represented satan's political wing and got the christian right to go to the polls in droves. thank you michael moore.
Michael Moore did not help to re elect Bush, but what Michael Moore did, is hurt John Kerry's chances of winning.
Of course John Kerry did not have much of a chance of winning anyway.
Ben Afflek? Isn't he the guy who does those duck commercials on TV? I think he's HILARIOUS!
Yes..that is him, if he walks like a duck and talks like a duck then it must be Ben Afflek.
I see that he dropped a few pounds...
"And now Michaels alleged limousine liberal ways are being exposed in a new documentary entitled Michael Moore Hates America. "
I saw this movie at a film festival in Dallas. Go see it if you get a chance. It does have quite a bit of profanity, but if that doesn't bother you it is something I think freepers would like. Most of the profanity is spoken by Penn, or Teller, whichever one of them that talks. I met the filmaker, Michael Wilson, at the festival and he is a nice young man with a family to support. Go see his movie.
I think that would be obvious.
That is a great site!! The whole list is hysterical, along with the bad movies of 2004. PS I think the W comment is more about him being in any "movies".
The irony of them sitting together is that jimmy carter ONLY got the Peace Prize because the Nobel Prize committed wanted to throw it in the face of supporters of George Bush (well documented).
Mikhail Moor-onski may well get an Oscar for Best Picture for exactly the same reason.
Now if only Cat Stevens (excuse me, I mean Yusuf Islam) could have been with them (in case you missed it, he got a "Man of Peace" award from Gorbachev in france just a few weeks after he was denied entry into the U.S.
One of the funniest jokes is Gunnar Berge, who, you will remember, said that the "Nobel Peace Prize"--it's hard to say that without laughing--was given to Jimmy Carter as a "kick in the leg" to George Bush. Since then, Berge's been kicked in the leg so many times it hasn't gotten out of a cast yet! The most recent kick was Nov. 2, when the American people sent him back into traction.
Poor Gunnar would be pitiable if he weren't such a hoot!
The same is true of Jimmy Carter and the rest of them.
Here's another knee slapper: Michael Moore and Larry Flynt are semi-official spokespersons for the Democrat Party! Maybe they'll get the "Nobel Peace Prize" next!

I stayed 5 nights and it was like being at home but better. Million dollar views, hiking and beautiful property close to town, yet quiet enough to hear the tree frogs off your own private deck overlooking the valley. Debbie the owner is such a warm caring person and I'm coming back.

I hadn't planned to spend the night in the Calistoga area but I was too tired to make it home. I tried a couple of numbers and was referred to the Hillcrest Inn. Arriving around 8:oo in the evening I was delighted as I stepped into the entry way surrounded by antiques. As I crossed throught the dining room I saw that the beautiful long table was gloriously set for 20 people, silver sugar and creamers on trays, goblets and beautiful plates, silver napkin rings, I thought to myself this looks fit for a queen. I was warmly greeted by Debi, who gave me a robe and showed me the jacuzzi and pool and directed me to my cabin. The furniture was a bit scarce, but the shower was hot, the towels clean and the bed which had a lovely canopy was comfortable. It was quiet and the air was clean. In the morning I saw that the property needed some cleaning up, but the view of the valley, the delicious breakfast and the sweetness of our hostess made me feel I'd like to come back for a week when I can.

We Just stayed there this last weekend and I have to tell you, the view alone is worth the price. It was simply breathtaking. The house is old and filled with family antiques which we enjoyed talking with the owner Debbie about the history of the house and her family. The house is a family heritage and was very apparent that the house was a part of Debbie. We also have 2 boxers that were able to run around the property at ease. This made us very happy and relaxed. It is often very hard to find places that are able to have dogs and be very happy to have them. The breakfast was wonderful, our room was clean and had a view for us to enjoy that was outstanding. Although the house did seem to be of need of repairs it did not take away from the warm hospitable presence that Debbie provided for us. We will be back to this special place that just transports you back in time filled with family legacy.

I just returned from my stay in Calisoga and I MISS Hillcrest. If you want an over priced, fussy, pristine, unfriendly place to stay... this B&B is not for you. Its kind of quirky and its got TONS of character, Debbie and her husband are warm and kind...their 2 dogs always greeted me and you can totally kick back or walk around the gorgeous propery overlooking the valley. I traveled there alone and felt really comfortable. good sleep, hot shower and hot coffee. fine with me.

My husband and I stayed in the Shangra-La room for 3 nights. We thought it was great. True, the floor slopes, but that didn't ruin our stay in the least. The property was great for the dogs, they loved the pond and even warmed up to Debbie's dogs, Debo and Arthur. The place was charming and quirky. I knew what we were getting in to when I made the reservations. The breakfast in the mornings was good and we were able to meet and talk to people that were very very friendly. If we ever do another trip like this, we will definitely stay here.

My wife and I just visited the Hillcrest B&B on hwy 29. I believe that this B&B is giving the city of Calistoga a bad name. We have been to many B&B's over the years but we have never seen anything like this! We drive in the entrance on a paved road which quickly turned into a dirt road, the next thing we see are old excavating equipment, broken down cars, piled up soils with broken up concrete mixed in it, a place in much need of repair. It is a self register place so we go to our "cabin" which has paint peeling and flaking off the eve's, roof rafters that are falling off, half the room feels like it is falling down the rear slope, The spa tub tile is not complete, the rear deck is loose and falling apart. In the shower there is some shampoo not in separate containers but in a pump jug from Costco, the type you would find in a home bathroom (not for the public). The coffee is also not in individual containers, it is in a big tub like at home, again not for the public. The coffee filters are in a box on the floor with the coffee tub! The next morning we go to the main house for breakfast, we go into the kitchen door to find junk piled everywhere, the counters are totally full, not 1 square inch is clear, three dogs running around inside and out, the flooring is coming up at the rear door. For this kind of ambiances you would go to a run down trailer park. I can't believe we spent this much money for this! We could have gone to motel 6 and had better accommodations! I think that the city building dept. and the health dept. needs to make a visit to this establishment quickly! This B & B was very disturbing, and we were very disappointed that we could do nothing about it since there is a two week notice to cancel reservations. We think something should be done to this place to bring it up to standard. It is our sincere hope that something can be done.

My husband and I spent last weekend in the Napa Valley to celebrate his birthday. We were accompanied by our Great Dane, Shasta. We were immediately made welcome when we arrived. Debi, the owner, is a gracious and down-to-earth hostess who makes you feel a part of her family. There are no complicated rules about your dog like so many supposed "dog friendly" hotels. Yes, the house is cluttered and there are a couple of junk piles on the 36 acres of property, but the view is spectacular, the stars at night are magical and we were happy to trade a bit of clutter for those things. We enjoyed our early morning walk on the road going around the property. The person who complained in a review about the dirtiness must have come on a bad day. Our room, while eccentric and quirky was very clean as was the bathroom and Jacuzzi tub. I appreciate that when our dog woke us up at 3:00 AM barking at some critter that had wandered across the balcony no one yelled be quiet and when I apologized the next morning I was told not to worry, it was nothing. The breakfasts were excellent and you are free to use the kitchen if you want to cook your own meal. The best part is being trusted by the owner. She really does mean "My house is your house."

This is a place where you truley feel like you are home. Very warm breathtaking views and the price was right. I am going to be visiting again very soon.

One of the most interesting B&B's we have stayed at. You must walk the property to fully appreciate. Debbie is a charming hostess and very warm and sincere. Fabulous antiques, glad to see they are being preserved.

Its hard for me and my partner to go anywhere because we have 2 dogs. Finally, finally, I feel theres a beautiful place where I can go with my dogs and feel comfortable. Also, the hospitality was fantastic! The woman who I think either owns or runs the place was so sweet and basically let us have the run of the place. The rooms are sort of "dog proof" meaning that I didnt have to worry about them getting hair on things. The grounds are exquisite and the view is ...well...........I felt like I was back in Italy. This is definitely a place where you can feel free and cozy. Its got alot of charm. You have to know that this is a sort of rustic setting, very very clean and tidy, but its not Hyatt Regency elegance. If you want a beautiful place to get away thats cozy and comfy and where your dogs can have fun too, then I highly reccomend this place.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A man and woman from Sperry have been killed in a two-car crash in northern Tulsa County.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 28-year-old Lee Yeng and 21-year-old Pang Kou Yang died in the collision on U.S. Highway 75 about 6:30 p.m. Sunday.

Well, Since You Asked…
As some of you may have heard, this guy named Michael Jackson, who used to be a singer or something, will soon receive a verdict in his criminal trial for sexual molestation.
With the charges finallyFINALLY!in the hands of a jury, I've tried to disengage from the sort of (peerlessly intoxicating) speculation that swarms around such trials in advance of their verdicts.
However, this morning, Miss Kelly O asked me, "Come onwhat do you think's gonna happen???"
My reply:
Before closing arguments, I would've put my money on a hung jury and a mistrial.
But after hearing the prosecution's amazing closing argumentwhich elegantly hammered home how a middle-aged man sharing a bed with a 13-year-old boy for one night is one thing, but to do it for 300 nights in a row is something else entirelyI'm beginning to think a conviction is possible.
Added ammunition to the conviction theory: Jackson's defense was left to resort to the worst tactics possible, basically beating the shit out of a 13-year-old cancer patient, whom they characterized as a drunk, horny, devious grifter, despite, of course, his stage-four cancer.
Uh, isn't Michael Jackson the guy who LOVES sick children? That he's left to defend himself by beating up the reputation of one of his beloved kids speaks volumes.
Plus, Jacko's gotten so damn frailtwo hospital visits in the past two days, reports of not eating and a weight of 90 lbs....I think he's trying to Schiavo himself, and am considering asking Congress to demand the insertion of a feeding tube.

You should read that article and tell me what is wrong with it. Their are alot of reasons to sell or buy a company's stock, but these reasons are something you would get out of a high school report from an 11th grader. Geez, do a better job for pete's sake, where's the research and the thoughfulness? "Acts of god," I thought that was humorous. Possible "seimic problems" as well was very humorous. I have thoughts on this high school report, but please like to know what the board thinks.
Also, I have no problem in selling GG, whatever you want to do, whether GG hasn't moved that much, you got a better stock(s) to invest in, etc..., but these reasons just killed me.
the whole sector is being manipulated.These nonsensical emotional articles are common place. When the miners start to refine the higher grade stuff the costs will come down and the shares will soar.Hang in there and buy more if you have the means, IMHHO
Good post. Bad article.
A GG mine could collapses! oh no! Better sell now. lol
Another author with the world's most shallow analysis.
Of all the miners, GG has smaller than normal exposure to third world risk.
Sentiment: Buy
good news is there have been some huge block trades the lasy several days which is indicative of the hedgies covering out.
GG has smaller than normal exposure to third world risk.
and 0% exposure to a rising gold price and 100% exposure to a declining gold price
Sentiment: Strong Sell

Two-woman comedy in Asheville
Published: Sunday, January 27, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 25, 2008 at 1:36 p.m.
Lisa Mende and Stephanie Astalos-Jones will bring their hilarious two woman show, It Was Open Mic Nite At Ye Olde Rustic Inn, at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the BeBe Theatre, 20 Commerce St., Asheville.
The pair will play five different comedy teams braving an open mic nite. The teams include an over-the-hill pair of Yiddish Borscht-belt sisters, a right-wing pair of college age Christian joke writers, two housewives from Michigan, a pair of gay sketch writers who perform their sketch, "Queen Cuisine," a lesbian mime troupe, "Venus de Mimo" whose members are so bad they require a sound track. The two have been playing to sold out crowds and high praise and are thrilled to bring their show to Asheville.
Astalos-Jones was in Croatia in October working on the film, White Lightnin', based on the life of Jesco White, the dancin' outlaw. Mende has made many TV appearances in shows such as "Friends," "Sex and the City" and "Seinfeld." On "Seinfeld" she was Carol, the mother of the ugly baby.
Tickets are $15 and will be available at the door.

Skip to comments.(Emily) MILLER: Choosing a gun
Posted on 12/16/2011 10:03:54 AM PST by aimhigh
In my quest to obtain a legal gun in Washington, D.C., I've gone to the registry office, taken a 5-hour course, filled out paperwork and met with the citys only dealer. Ive now fulfilled any requirements that can be done before giving the city the serial number of my new gun, so it is time to decide what to buy.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
This thread will be fun.
That's a large frame revolver. It may not fit her hand. The best general purpose handgun for a non "gun person" is something K-frame size and chambered in 357 Magnum, but loaded with 38 Special +Ps.
Too many variables. It's not like asking what's the best LCD TV for the money.
She needs to go to a range, try quite a few and see what appeals to her.
I've been looking at the Ruger LC9 and the beretta PX4 Storm. Good luck!
They're easy to use, but for real stopping power nothing beats a howitzer.
Anything shorter and you can shoot your own fingers off. In a panic situation it's easy to put your fingers over the end of the barrel if it's only 2".
I hope this was toung in cheek. If that is your "expert" opinion, you hardly have the experience or stability to handle firearms or give advice on them.
toung = tongue
If weapons are that difficult to legally get in DC, why not just go over to the nearest public housing area and buy one from the locals?
Haven't followed her series of articles but if she travels she should look into the Utah concealed permit.
That permit would give her 31 states in which to legally carry.
In which case she would be in the market for her second handgun! (Although it is not immediately clear whether she would have a problem getting that weapon into a DC airport.)
If you don't, get a Glock in 45ACP.
You are correct; bigger holes are better! If Emily wants something traditional and useful, she should get a Commander sized .45ACP. It is the 100th anniversary of the 1911 after all. Next best choice would be a .40S&W Springfield Compact XP. Otherwise, go for the gusto and see about an MP5. Don't mess with Emily, she's got a gun.
I believe only Reagan National is technically within the district. After the district was laid out, Virginia took back all of it coming from within Virginia up to the western/southern bank of the Potomac. As I heard it when I lived in Arlington, Reagan National is built on fill extending out into the Potomac, and so is part of the District of Columbia. Dulles or BWI are usually better choices anyway.
I've actually met someone that shot their own finger off with a snub nose .38.
He was a dealer at a gun show and wouldn't sell a 2" for that very reason.
He knew how to handle a gun. When a guy pulled a gun on him in his shop and tried to rob him, he pulled his gun and shot. His finger was over the end of the barrel.
He didn't even know he'd shot his own finger off until it was all over.
Exactamundo. S&W 340 PD Airlite in 357 loaded with 38+p
Sig Sauer P229...
I've got a rifle and a gun!
The runways, terminals and parking lots and roads at Reagan National are in Virginia. Some of the land by the river's edge (up to the high water mark?) is DC.
I agree.
The plastic stuff in .40 has uncomfortable felt recoil for most people. If you don't take a class, learn how to "run the gun," and practice, then it doesn't matter.
I carry a Sig Sauer P229ST (stainless steel slide and frame) in 9mm and one spare mag.
(training and gaming rig)
Wifey carries an HK P2000 in 9mm and one spare mag.
Look at the bright side, they could have said "MBA Gyrojet".
Thank you for that info.
It would seem perhaps her only concern then is the manner in which she would transport the weapon in DC after leaving her home.
Of course, since Maryland is not one of the Utah reciprocal states unless she can transport in the same manner she may be required to fly out of VA. And regrettably, she would be limited to 28 jurisdictions (3 of the 31 I posted upthread require Utah residency).
Sad state of affairs for adult, taxpaying Americans.
Have you run a box or two of that ammo through an Airlite in one practice session?
The runways are all built on the fill area. You're right about the terminals-I forgot about that. I almost always flew out of Dulles even when I lived in Crystal City, so I never really had to worry about it.
Whenever I tutor liberals on handgun selection, I always suggest this moodel:
I tell 'em I had one for quite some time...
He shot it one time.
Changed his mind real fast.
He shoots my .41 mag all the time with no problem.
That .357 ate his lunch.
Now we're talking.
Take out the entire gang with one pull of the trigger.
Last Spring, I took a three day Advanced Pistol Operator class and shot my 226ST in 9mm and consumed ~1,700 rounds. This one couple were shooting a G22 and G23. At the end of the first day, their fingers were taped up. They've since moved on to 1911s and Glock 17s and 19s.
I can see taping the web of your dominant hand between thumb and forefinger - the glock frame rubs me bad there after 500 rounds or so. But I've done courses with my glock 29 10mm with no more significant soreness than my glock 26, glock 23, glock 21, or glock 34. And the 1911 can wear on the skin just as easily.
First he said there was something wrong with the gun, then there was something wrong with the mags, then there was something wrong with the ammo.
I shot it, no problem.
Didn't matter what ammo I used everything from 230gr hardball to 155SWC.
Didn't matter if I used his $35 mags or my $5 mags, no problem.
He was scared of the .45 so he limp wristed. Jam every time.
If that wasn't bad enough, should have seen his group with the 7mm mag he bought as a FIRST gun.
60 rounds and I don't think he hit the target with half after the first three.
In the article, she relates her love affair with the Taurus .454 Casull. She also says she's not going to carry and wants a full-size. If she goes the revolver route, any k-frame in .38+P or .357mag would better fit her needs. Or even one bigger in .45LC or .44 special. The .38 special (normal load) has about the same recoil on a steel k-frame than the .22 does on the 317 with its light aluminum frame. For even more kicks & giggles, a 3" Ruger GP-100 or similar N-frame s&w would sit totally rock solid in her hand and shoot .38's with the same recoil as me spitting watermelon seeds. Ok, maybe a little more, but you get what I mean.
I'm with you - now.
I never was much of a Glock fan until a laid-off stressed-out co-worker offered me his Glock Model 30, a Kydex holster with both a two-gang and single magazine holder, 5 magazines and 90 rounds of .45 ACP for $350 cash.
I took him up on it, got used to it, and it has since become my go-to handgun.
I did have El Paso Saddlery build me a leather holster that works both strong-side and cross-draw and a similar magazine holder setup in leather.
I am a happy camper. Little-bitty short barrel, but surprisingly accurate, fits my hand, goes off every time I ask it to and easy to field-strip and clean.
I always hated that no external safety thing, but I adapted easily. Already had a Dillon press and dies to reload the .45 ACP, but I was continually annoyed that the spent casings from my 1911 squirted everywhere and I never could find them. I got to where I would shoot standing in the middle of a 30'square tarp and still never found more than 2/3 of them. The Glock piles them up for you in the same spot.
Revolver is very forgiving of dirt.
Read the article, she's doing just that. This is actually the second range she's visited, and tried renting all their handguns... And this time, she proudly fired a cylinder full of .454 Casull rounds out of a Ruger revolver.
See, he's got a point. You got in a hurry, panicked and shot your 'e' clean off. On top of that you knocked your 'u' clear up to the middle.
I liek thigh rigs and use the Blackhawk serpa thig rig holster. I wear it all the time around town, even when riding dirt bikes.
This one...
Produced these results...
Interesting. These folks' fingers were rubbed raw with their 22 and 23 on their strong hand middle finger. I've since shot with them and I don't get through a mag or two and continue with one of my 1911s.
It's interesting how folks prefer certain calibers over others. Over the years, I've finally settled on 9mm, .45 auto, and more recently .38 Super.
