An accommodation beneath contempt . Dirty , leaky shower stall , broken lamps and contacts that did not work . Wifi only worked if you sat out in the yard . We had ants in the kitchen and bathroom.
Fee for cleaning, towels and sheets.
To pay for cleaning when the apartment was so dirty known very irritant . Smaller service oriented staff made it known not worthwhile to go and complain. Would never recommend this accommodation !
Very nice, pieceful and relaxing house.
We really enjoyed the large rooms and terasses outdoor. It is great to have realy furniture inside and outside.
The house is big and especially with a great view but:
- There're no curtains or shutters on the windows
- The sheets are minimal (and not optional)
- The house was quite dirty despite the payment for the cleaning
- The manager of the property accused me to stole one (1) pillowcase the day after we left. The pillowcase has been obviously found after a while, it was left behind during the collecting.
I've enjoyed my stay in Stintino for the sea, the nature, the landscape, but, for a short stay of 4 days, too many thing that didn't work out with the house.
Nice place and great pool. BUT too expensive! Bad kitchenequipments. Expensive sheets and towels. Not value with the money!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 6 nights and it was absolutely wonderful! Exactly what you see in pictures, except there isn't actually a balcony. Just a glass door with railings right behind it. The area was by far our favourite in Barcelona. Truly unique and enjoyable to just walk around at any time of the day. The stairs are a frightening first impression, 57 in a small spiral staircase, but still definitely worth the mission. But yes, pack light!
Thank you Maria for your kind hospitality, suggestions and being readily available for anything we needed.
I definitely recommend :)
Very disappointed at the standard of the apartment and the arrival and departure procedure! This apartment was let through Wimdu by Interhome. I will never book anything let by Interhome again. Having made the booking and paid for it we were totally unaware until one week before departure that bed linen and towels were not included and an extra charge was levied (Euro 28 for sheets and 12 for towels). When I challenged Interhome on non disclosure of information they told me it was in the small print: having trawled though every last word I found it in tiny print under Cancellation Policy! Again I challenged Interhome about deliberately placing this important piece of information where nobody will think to look. It should be clearly displayed on the webpage under Amenities where a note can be posted in the relevant area for all to see.
Arrival procedure - what a nonsense. Having paid for the sheets you have to collect them in person from the office. We made it by the skin of our teeth before the office closed for the weekend. Because our flight was delayed we arrived in Chamonix later than expected and had the office been closed we would have had no sheets at all! They are bulky to carry and I have photos of my husband looking like Santa Clause with a big white sack over his shoulder. It's the height of nonsense to expect arrivals to lug luggage and carry this bulky bad around Chamonix. On departure we had to return the sheets to the office again in said bag!
End cleaning - the previous tenant had presumably paid therefore we expected a clean apartment. The hard surfaces were clean but the living room carpet was disgusting with stains and grime and dirty black marks (photographed). It needs either professionally deep cleaned or dumped. Personally I would replace it. My bed sheet had a dirty brown mark on it (photographed) and the "white" patio furniture was grey with grime. I don't think it had been cleaned in years. Before I would set as much as a mug on it I scrubbed it with the dish scrubber (which I then couldn't use on the dishes!). Again we have photographic evidence. The best feature of the apartment is the wonderful view of Mont Blanc from the balcony. I don't know who is employed to clean this apartment but they could do with a lesson or two. I will never use Interhome again and I recommend that you steer clear of it too. I've used Wimdu many times and always been satisfied but not on this occasion.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

A good new series.
Five scenes with the gimmick that the girl is kind of dorky and wears glasses. Solid sex, if not outstanding. Highlights include stunning Tiffany Mason as con artist Jack Hammer's lawyer. Hammer emotes heavily before getting her into a multi-positional and facial. Also worth a look is Violet Blue as a wacky artist chick who's irritated with Jay Ashley's affinity for cheerleaders; she manages to convince him to give her a try because she has "a brain and a nicer butt" than his cheerleading chicks, putting the butt to good use in an anal scene. Gauge and Mark Davis also have worthwhile anal moments together in the gape-inclusive closer.

Athens Christian boys basketball coach Ron Link wanted to give his team an idea of what it will be like Wednesday , when the No. 4 Eagles face No. 8 Turner County in the GHSA Class A semifinals at the Macon Centreplex.
Looking for an expansive spot to get the feeling of playing in a big venue, he couldn't find a place any beter than Georgia's Stegeman Coliseum.

Turns out the Athens Christian boys basketball team is pretty good at winning games in the final seconds.
Real good, as it proved again Wednesday in the GHSA Class A semifinals, defeated No. 8 Turner County 46-44 on a pair of DeMarcus Evans free throws with half a second left in the game.

It's been three years since Zach Lillie was a freshman starter on an Athens Christian boys basketball team that fell to Turner County in the Class A semifinals.
That's a long time, Lillie said, and he knows that Saturday's Class A state championship game will be his last game as a high school basketball player and his last shot at a state title. He doesn't want to waste this one.

Maybe covering sports has made me a little jaded, but I hardly batted an eye today when I was reminded today that Mark Richt already makes $2.8 million annually, and there's no telling just how much of a bump he'll get when the financial details of his new three-year extension are finalized.

It's time for a good Sunday read.
The Banner-Herald sports section has drifted away from giving you something special every Sunday, but today's edition is a little different.
If you can pry yourself from the Gym Dogs and spring football coverage, you'll notice a two-story series - with some fancy, schmancy charts - that detail some of the changes, obvious and more subtle, that have come about since college and high school teams have begun using BBCOR-certified bats.

AUGUSTA - Is it Masters week already?
The big boys are out at Augusta National Golf Club today, and there are no shortages of ways to watch it and follow it, from television to the Internet and old-fashioned newspapers.

You've probably read the stories and photos already, but something pretty cool happened on Sunday, if you hadn't heard.
Another golfer shot a course record at the UGA Golf Course, marking the third record in four days. He did it in the final round of the Stadion Classic. He holed a bunker shot off the pin and into the final hole for a birdie. And he's the second UGA golfer in as many years to win the Nationwide Tour event.

Metro Briefing | New York: Plainview: Workers Paid In Union Dispute
By Steven Greenhouse (NYT) (Compiled by Anthony Ramirez)
Published: August 28, 2002
The Marriott Corporation has agreed to pay $37,500 to five immigrants from El Salvador who asserted that a manager at a Residence Inn, a Marriott hotel, had fired them illegally because they wanted to organize a union. The National Labor Relations Board helped arrange the settlement after it filed a complaint charging that the hotel's manager had called the workers into his office on Oct. 1 and dismissed them. Under the settlement, Marriott must post large notices telling the hotel's employees that they have the right to form a union without fear of reprisal. Steven Greenhouse (NYT)

Over the past year, the Obama administration has rapidly repaired diplomatic and economic ties with Cuba. Last month, in the latest of many agreements, Washington and Havana signed a deal restoring commercial flights between the two countries for the first time in more than 50 years, just as the White House approved construction of the first U.S. factory in Cuba since the 1960 embargo.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Ear Problems and Injuries, Age 12 and Older
Topic Overview
Ear problems may be caused by many different health problems. In children, ear pain is more likely to be a symptom of an inflammation, infection, or fluid buildup in the external or middle ear. But ear pain at any age may be a symptom of:
- Infection of the middle ear (acute otitis media).
- Inflammation or infection of the ear canal (otitis externa).
- Buildup of fluid behind the eardrum (otitis media with effusion), without infection.
Ear problems caused by an injury to the ear can occur at any age. Common injuries include the following:
- A fall or a forceful, direct blow to the side of the head can burst the eardrum or damage the tiny bones in the inner ear that send sound to the brain.
- An injury during contact sports can cause an injury, such as "cauliflower" ear from wrestling.
- Loud noises or explosions can damage the eardrum (acoustic trauma).
- Atmospheric pressure changes (barotrauma) can cause problems with the eustachian tube and trap air in or keep air out of the middle ear. Middle ear problems can be severe (for example, the eardrum can burst or the middle ear can fill with blood or pus) or mild and only be felt as changes in pressure.
- Cuts or scrapes may injure the outside of the ear or ear canal. For more information, see the topic Ear Canal Problems (Swimmer's Ear).
- Cleaning the ear canal too often, too forcefully, or with a cotton swab, bobby pin, or sharp fingernail can cause irritation or injury.
- Burns or frostbite can cause ear injuries (thermal injuries).
- Objects placed in the ear can cause injury to the ear canal or the eardrum (tympanic membrane).
Hearing loss often comes with age. As people get older, ear problems are more likely to be related to:
- Heredity. The age of onset and how quickly the hearing loss progresses can often be determined by studying family members with hearing loss.
- The buildup of earwax. For more information, see the topic Earwax.
- Exposure to loud noises, such as setting off an air bag during a car crash, machines at work, power tools, gunshots, or loud music.
- Other serious medical problems, such as Ménière's disease or an acoustic neuroma.
- Skin reaction (dermatitis) on the outside of the ear or in the ear canal from perfume, hair dye, or wearing hearing aids.

Historical Traveler Reviews Riad Amssaffah Marrakech
One of the best hotels I have stayed at
I have travelled a lot and this is the first time I have bothered to write a review- this hotel is most definitely one of the best I have stayed at.
The staff were amazing- they really went out of their way to help.
The decor incredible- amazing detail throughout, and also fantastic areas which just encouraged you to relax
The location perfect- just outside the hotel are the souks, and everything is walking distance. And the shops in the souks nearest the hotel were the best for bartering.
Great air con and shutters in rooms, freely available and good drinks/food if needed (more difficult to find outside hotel)
And did I mention fantastic and friendly staff?
This is your living room
When we arrived to stay in Marrakech for two weeks, the woman who welcomed us to this riad said, "This is your living room for the time you are here." And it was! It felt like home away from home. Our suite was comfortable and cool in the heat. We splashed about in the little pool a couple of times every day. On the evenings that we ate in the riad, the food and wine was very good, cheap and plentiful. Some other great restaurants are nearby.
We soon learned how to navigate our way around the old medina and were glad we had chosen to stay where we did when we saw the modern concrete blocks out beyond the old city walls. The main joy of the place was the great friendliness and helpfulness of the family who run the riad.
The building work that's mentioned on their website, we barely noticed. Would love to go back when the other courtyard is finished, although I expect the prices will have gone up by then too!
Friendly, helpful but rather basic facilities.
We booked a week long package through travelocity. The riad is on the northern edge of the souk, a fab location for shopping and a great walk through the market to get to the square. The two sisters who run the riad are very approachable and incredibly helpful. We got assistance with taxis, booking restaurants and a day trip.
We paid around �30 per person per night with our package, and frankly compared to what else is available for that price range and slightly above, riad amssaffah did not represent good value for money - particularly as travelocity were promoting it as a four star hotel. The double rooms are tiny and the suites are much more practical if two of you are going to share. The rooms are generally clean and each has its own bathroom. Be warned that the quality of the finish and presentation in each room seems to vary wildly - if you are not happy with the first room your shown, ask to see another. Also be aware that when it rains some of the rooms have leaks and can smell musty for days afterwards.
The building works on site are quite extensive - they are building two new floors of accommodation on top of the dining room - but localised to one corner of the riad, and whilst we were there the level of activity and noise levels were variable, although generally speaking we weren't particularly disturbed by the works as they started late and finished early so mostly occurred whilst we were out.
If you are looking for a warm morroccan welcome in a basic but traditional riad then amssaffah could be for you - be sure to book through their own website however to get a reasonable price. Be sure to check out the Cafe arabe, its ten minutes walk away and has fabulous food - including a good selection for veggies.
Friendliest riad owners in town
We stayed here for 5 nights arriving late into the night. Had we known before we would have arranged to get us to pick us at the airport before hand. On arrival they were almost waiting for us outside, which was great because the medina did look a bit worrying so late at night. The first night we were taken out of the riad in an adjoining smaller riad. We were told that the we were going to receive our own room in the riad with ensuite facilities as booked on the following day. We were given a tiny room with a double bed (we needed twin beds) and not toilet, only shower and sink. The shower did not drain very well so you really needed a pair of flip flops to avoid the stagnating water. There was very little furniture in it but the room was really nicely decorated in traditional Maroccan style. The room was overlooking a balcony which led to other rooms and an outside toilet. We were woken up around 4.30 by the call to prayer to the nearest mosque, so the first night wasn't exactly briliant. At breakfast in the main riad we were told that we would receive the room later in the day. When we came back we were told that they didn't have it yet and that the following day they would give us a suite (which they did the following day). Our suite was much better of course but we did miss our smaller room because the bed was more confortable and had much more light than the suite. However, we did sleep through the call to prayer during the following nights as it was more sound insulated!!
The owners are Fatima and Karima (I think) two delightful sisters who couldn't have been nicer or friendlier. They both speak a bit of English (and French and Arabic of course). They were always so eager to help without being obtrusive and in general very very friendly and courteous. I had forgotten a convertor for my hairdryer and they swiftly lend me one for the duration of my staying. We were looking for a riad where to have dinner one night and although it was nearby it wasn't easy to find. They quickly asked one of their staff to escort us for half of the way. On the final day they took us to the airport (150 dirhams) and wished us goodbye, only to receive a phone call from us from check-in letting them know that we left a bag in the car with all our Moroccan presents in it!!! Well guess what, with only 20 minutes to go before our plane departed they sent another member of staff on a moped to deliver the forgotten bag.
What else to say about this place? There were some construction works on the top of the riad but it wasn't very annoying and the location is fantastic. You are close to so many interesting sites (Museum of Marrakesh, old muslim school, souks, etc.) and although the medina does look scary at times we always felt very safe. Some of the best restaurants you will find in Marrakesh are tucked in in the medina and although they look pretty dismal from the outside once inside you would not believe your eyes: splending Moroccan modern architecture with excellent service and great food. We visited at least three of them there and they are all close to the riad.
Marrakesh people are extremely hospitable and the people in this riad were no exception!
A wonderful unique exerience
The plane was very delayed and it was nearly midnight when we arrived. But we were still met by the riad car at the airport - smiling faces and friendly concern at our tiredness. That was the beginning of a remarkably friendly stay of 5 days. The riad had a great Moroccan atmosphere and the suite was comfortable, very clean, very generous in terms of space (including the exceedingly comfortable bed) and very atmospheric - all more than we had hoped for. The staff are so friendly - breakfast with a beaming smile every day was as good as the sunshine. Advice on shopping, places to visit, etc was always there when requested. Our room was right next to where some small renovations are taking place and there was no noise until after 8am, and then only in a limited way. It took absolutely nothing away from the pleasure of staying there. It was great fun heading off through the bustling narrow streets outside each day - with absolutely no sense of anxiety over security - discovering what was going on in all the corners. We couldn't get enough. We did make one mistake - we went out most nights for our evening meals to some very special dining riads - they were good (and walked through the alleyways at 11pm with ease). But on the last night we stayed in to eat and realised that we had been missing a treat - the food was great. If you want a western hotel's ambiance and pandering, don't go here. But for what's best in Moroccan friendliness, hospitality and style, this is a must.
We had a great time!
We've just come back from there and had a fabulous time.
There is some building work in one corner of the hotel (almost completed) but it didn't inconvenience us at all - although they decided to upgrade us to a suite (we didn't complain)
Standard rooms are basic but cleaned every day and provided with fresh towels. Hot water took a little time to come, but always arrived and was unrestricted. There was a TV with BBC news, and a fridge in the suite.
No problems with the food, and beer and a decent wine are served. The two sisters are very helpful and can organise pretty much anything.
E-mail in advance for collection from the airport as it is in the heart of the medina and the alleys look dodgy, but are safe. We had fun getting the hired 4x4 in and out!
Location is great - 10 minutes from the souks, 20 minutes from the main square, and you really are in the thick of it.

Amazing Moroccan Hospitality
I booked a last minute deal with Ebookers for my husband and neighbours. I have been travelling to Morocco for the last ten years but normally stay in a hotel.
When we arrived the riad staff were incredibly friendly and spoke english, although not a problem for my husband and I, as we speak fluent arabic and french.
My neighbours their first visit to Marrakech loved the riad and although they were renovating it was only in the day and as we were in the Medina we never noticed.
Attached to the riad is a shop selling beautiful rugs and mats and they offer you a discount if staying in their riad.
The riad is situated near to the Marrakech Museum and a historic School.
On our last afternoon we decided to lunch at the riad and their kofta kebabs were amazing.
If you go to Marrakech and really want the best Moroccan hospitality stay in this beautiful Moroccan owned riad.
After staying in the riad no more hotels for us.
Avoid this hotel until building work is over !
We booked Riad Amsaffah with lastminute. The Riad is in a very poor and run down part of the Medina, a good 10 min walk to the main square Jemaa El Fna, through very narrow, crowded and often dirty streets. Not for the faint hearted. Donkeys, motorbikes, bicycles and all sorts of humanity are all around you - not easy to move sometimes!
The Riad itself is very pretty with little pool in the courtyard and smallish but attractive rooms - we had a "suite". Plumbing was hit and miss - hot water not guaranteed. Their dining room ceiling was being reconstructed very noisily most of the time - work started before 8am and went on until 7pm. We had to move hotels after one night as it was just too much.
We found Hotel Islane - right opposite the famous Koutubia Mosque and less than 5 mins from Jemaa El Fna. Rooms were just �27 per room per night incl a basic but lovely breakfast on their roof terrace. Rooms were comfortable with ensuite bathroom (no bath only shower). There was an electricity cut during the stay but it was quite romantic going to bed by candlelight. The location was just great.
My advice if you want to stay in a Riad is to do a lot of research to make sure you are getting a good one. There are hundreds but often they are really basic.
Marrakech was amazing, and Hotel Islane is a great budget place to stay for all the sights.
A great traditional Moroccan B & B
Not quite La Maison Arabe but if you're looking for a small, traditionally decorated, riad with definite charm moments from the souks and less than 10 minutes (once you've sussed the best route!) from the Jemaa el Fna with friendly, hospitable staff, then you shouldn't be disappointed.
The rooms are certainly not spacious - try to book a 'suite' as these are slightly larger and the furnishings and the plumbing rather basic but both are perfectly adequate - so too are the breakfasts.
The Amssaffah's real pluses are its location and the friendliness of its staff, some of whom speak good English. Do, however, be prepared for a culture shock - the Amssaffah is an oasis of peace and calm, however on the streets directly outside you will face a thronging mass of Morrocan humanity and sights, sounds and smells which have changed little in hundreds of years.
Enjoy your stay.
If you want something different from your normal 5 or 4 star hotel, come to the Riad Amssafah.
It is really traditional,interior design is so Moroccan, rooms are great, staff are so helpfull, It is right in the middle of the Medina,I MEAN right in the middle.
Getting there is like going way back in time, I even took a map out that the Riad gave me, just so I could show the taxi's and hopefully they would find it !
just get lost in the streets and you should end up in the Souks or the square.
Taxi's always seem to be 20 where ever you go but always get a price.
The trip to the Riad is freaky and a bit like Charles Dickens London, but don't worry, all the people seem friendly, but it is a culture shock. Have fun

Chicken Tonight
... the chook's feathers had landed demolished it with a chopper. Richard, obviously not used to such brutal, nasty business when buying a chicken went very pale and so sitting him down the poulterer and son poured him a glass of mint tea. Dinner was a very solemn affair that evening and judging by what we'd nibbled it was clear the poor old chook didn't have long left and probably would've keeled over from old age any day.
Camel riding
We went to the gardens of Majorelle. I liked all the different types of cacti, we also went into the museum to look at the Berber jewellery and costumes. After lunch we took a horse and carriage to the Palmerie where we rode some camels. The camels were really big and had 2 babies with them. I found them uncomfortable to ride because the rug we were sat on rubbed my legs. Getting off the camel felt like a roller coaster because they rocked ...
Train to Marrakech
... small and tastefully decorated and several built in shelves. Toilet separate enclosure from shower, always a nice touch! We relaxed a bit and showered. After the sun was lower in the sky we ventured out. Still plenty hot. Unseasonably hot we were told, this is June weather.
In spite of the heat it was exiting ...
Day 1 - Marrakech
... in 7 hours time I'll be meeting the other people on the tour and sitting down to some Marrocan cuisine (can't wait for the food!). I really do love airports - full of different people going to different places doing different things. Not sure if any of them have it as good as me though ;) these 4 months are going to be a once in a lifetime trip, haven't even left the country and I am so glad I made the decision to travel and take a gap year.

Early evening, Tony came back from Marrakesh with tales of tanneries and his adventures there.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Poo in a Pill to Treat Gut Infection?
The researchers provided the pills to 27 patients with C. difficile and reported a 100 percent success rate. None of the patients had a recurrence of the infection, even though all of them previously had had repeat bouts with the germ. Patients ingested between 24 and 34 capsules containing fecal bacteria, often donated by family members.
Moore compared fighting C. difficile with fecal bacteria to restoring a lawn that has become infested with weeds.
C. difficile can be destroyed using antibiotics, much like using herbicides to get rid of the weeds, but that does nothing to restore the "lawn" within the gut to proper balance.
Alternatively, one can choose to reseed the lawn with fresh grass seed and hope the new grass crowds out the weeds. In the case of C. difficile, probiotics can sometimes boost healthy intestinal flora that crowd out the bad bug, Moore explained.
Fecal transplantation is more akin to planting fresh sod across the entire lawn, he suggested.
"This study confirms what has been suspected for quite some time, that fecal transplants are the most effective and most efficient way to restore gut health in patients with recurrent C. diff," Moore said.
Further, he believes using capsules will make the process much easier for people.
Moore said he sees no reason why doctors can't begin using handmade fecal bacteria capsules to treat C. difficile, particularly since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has lifted a moratorium it had placed on the practice.
"I think the gelatin capsule idea could be enacted without regulatory difficulty," Moore said. "The trick is to get the gelatin capsules and actually stuff them with the stool. Certainly, there's no glamor in it."
The data and conclusions of research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

How do I configure Ubuntu to input Chinese?
hopefully it helps
My system had a similar problem: I was able to choose "Chinese", but it didn't really input any Chinese. The key step missing was to install a specific Chinese input method/package. E.g.:
After installing Pinyin in this example, go to System Settings → Language Support → Chinese (Pinyin).
Now it works as expected.
This thread helped me to figure out this solution. It also suggests another input method:
After either of those commands do not forget to restart the IBus daemon
This method is through command line. It relies on installing
First install
Then, run the following command:
The command above takes output of
Alternatively the two lines can be combined into a simple script:
Hope that helps other users! Chinese language by itself is great for web-surfing Chinese internet, but one of the most desired app for Chinese users of Linux is QQ, which of course isn't available, however check out my other answer on how to install Android version of QQ in Ubuntu.

Nora Stoelting
Garden Coordinator
Nora grew up in Brooklyn, NY where her exposure to outdoor pursuits was minimal until high school. During her high school years, Nora became enthralled by the woods as she spent three summers in a row participating in wilderness trips in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. These trips opened many doors and led to deeper thinking of her role in the environment and how strong leadership could create change. Nora went on to create the first environmental club in her lower Manhattan high school and facilitate and environmental committee of student government. As these passions deepened, Nora also became intrigued by the intersection of environmental issues and social justice.
Nora carried this environmental leadership with her to St. Michael's College in Vermont where she majored in Environmental Studies with a double minor in Peace and Justice and Political Science. Nora self-designed her own concentration within the major called Community Food Systems. Nora's interest in food systems and community development deepened after she spent three weeks at Navdanya, an educational farm in Dehradun, India as part of a sustainable agriculture class through her college. While Nora studied abroad in Zanzibar, Tanzania for a semester, she implemented a month-long research project on student-led environmental groups through which she participated in the starting stages of a community garden. Throughout college Nora remained active in various environmental groups on campus taking the lead on multiple campaigns and helped to start a Food Justice Club. Nora also interned for 350Vermont during her senior year, which strengthened her role as an environmental activist working on climate related issues. Additionally, throughout college Nora has worked with teens in an outdoor leadership program in Maine for two consecutive summers and coordinated environmental education programs for 4-8 year olds the following summer. She completed her senior college thesis on permaculture, which revealed to her the need for whole-systems thinking in solving environmental problems.
Nora is a strong believer in the power of growing your own food to cultivate strong healthy communities. This is Nora's second year as the AmeriCorps garden coordinator. She is continually inspired by what children are capable of and is excited to spend time learning experientially with them in the garden!

Festival celebrates Latin culture
Published: Thursday, October 9, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 8, 2008 at 8:45 p.m.
FLETCHER This Saturday, a festival celebrating Latin culture will take place at the Western North Carolina Agricultural Center.
Its an opportunity to share in Latin culture, our music, our dance, our art, said Edna Campos, one of the organizers of Fiesta Latina.
Its great we can gather in a safe place, recognizing one another and educating people with whats important to the Latino community, added Yolanda Bopp, chair of the Asheville Latin Americans for Advancement Society, which helps organize the event.
The festival will include activities for all members of the family. The gates are open from noon to 8 p.m. There will be a kids area with face painting, inflatables, pinatas and a clown. Campos added it is a free event: Admission-free, alcohol-free and pet-free. There will be a variety of Latin foods including Salvadorian, Central American and Mexican.
I think the most important thing is it gives a chance for people to share with other people who dont know about their culture, Campos said. The best part of it is bringing together the cultures.
The festival started in 1997 with a Mayan weaver who visited Asheville with help from the Catholic Social Services and Asheville Arts Museum. Volunteers, nonprofits, dancers and musicians created a half-day event of activities to add to her arrival.
They ended up creating a small gathering around her visit, said Campos.
We just want to celebrate our culture and traditions and invite people of all ages and races to come party with us, said Bopp.
It first started with a few hundred people. This is the second year the festival will be held at the Ag Center. They are expecting at least 8,000 people to experience the variety of cultural dances, foods, music and art offered. They also have a record number of volunteers, with 60 people coming out to help set up.
It was very successful last year, said Bopp. (Moving to the Ag Center) gave us an opportunity to reach out to people in Hendersonville. Having it at the Ag Center allows us to pull in Henderson County as well as Buncombe.
It used to be just a festival in Asheville, said Campos. Its now become a regional event.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
In a small suburban town, a group of college students visit a
mysterious wax museum, where they encounter several morbid displays,
all of which contain stock characters from the horror genre.
"Can't a girl get laid around here without being burned at the stake?" Let me start by saying Anthony Hickox is a brilliant man. This movie was his first time as a writer and director and he did it perfectly. Going on to make a Warlock movie and a Hellraiser film, he has established himself (though still remains under-appreciated).
The film stars the kid from "Gremlins" and his group of friends who encounter the guy from "The Omen", who along with a midget and a Lurch-like butler manage a wax museum full of horrible characters. Dracula, the Marquis de Sade, a werewolf, the mummy, and nine other nasties. Well, the museum offers a portal to each of these horrible worlds -- but if you die in the portal, you die in real life and become part of the museum.
This film is brilliant because of the perfect combination of horror and comedy. You will get spraying blood, mutilated flesh, and a dismembered hand that lives on its own (see "Waxwork II" for more on this and its connection to "Evil Dead II"). You will get a girl sexually aroused by being flogged (sado-masochism goes hand in hand with horror). But yet, it is funny. The midget is cute, one of the kids is just weird and you should hear the way Dracula says "steak tartar" or the scene where the AARP (old people) raid the place.
I could complain about the really odd plot and lack of sense. I mean, there is a part where the origin of the museum is explained. Not only does this make little sense, but there is no reason the man telling the story should know anything about it. Then there is the bit about the sculptures needing relics from their real-life bodies to become alive. Yet, there are sculptures of The Fly, the Invisible Man, and a scene from a zombie film. These things never happened, so how can they have real relics?
But you know what? It is so much fun, you just ignore things like this (especially compared to the complete nonsense plot of the sequel or "House II"...) Recommended? Heck yeah. Great comedy, great horror, great 80s film. Dana Ashbrook appears before the day of "Twin Peaks". Oh, and the professor from "Sliders" is in it, too.
My only concern is that allegedly the film was cut by the MPAA due to gore in the vampire sequence. I would love for that sequence to be put back together (and a director's commentary never hurts). This film would be even better with more blood.
There is something about episodic horror movies that I love. Maybe it harkens back to my youth, when I devoured the EC Horror Comics reprints. Something about each individual character having his or her own interesting death always has been a kick ass idea to me. This movie is great. Each character faces his/her own nasty (extremely gory) death scene in different "exhibits" in the wax museum. A darn good time and some seriously great gore FX! Loved it. 8/10
The Eighties...what a great, fertile, inventive time that was for
horror. When the major studios discovered back in the late Seventies
that indie horror flicks were cheap to make or just buy outright and
distribute, they started crankin' 'em out...by the DOZENS. Way back
when, THE EXORCIST turned the faucet on. The movies that would launch
long-term franchises filled the tub. HALLOWEEN. Friday THE 13th. A
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. And then the tub started spilling over.
Every company, great and small, started looking for the next EXORCIST, ALIEN, JAWS...the next big thing that would make millions. Enter Vestron Video. Vestron had started out doing some of the first direct-to-video pictures ever made, discovering that the market was HUGE. So big, in fact, that they started a movie division, Vestron Pictures. Their strategy was simple: make good (if not great) genre pics that would put asses in the seats, that they could then distribute through the video arm later on.
One of Vestron Pictures' first releases was a little number called WAXWORK. The plot of the old horror classic MYSTERY IN THE WAX MUSEUM was such a tried and true staple, the studios kept falling back on it again and again, finding fresh ways to retell the story.
WAXWORK took a little different approach from the straight-ahead versions, with a cast and a sensibility for horror that still screams "Me Decade" even today. Check out the victim's list: Zach Galligan (GREMLINS.) Michelle Johnson (BLAME IT ON RIO.) Deborah Foreman (VALLEY GIRL). Dana Ashbrook (TWIN PEAKS). Miles O' Keefe (TARZAN THE APE MAN). Then you throw in vets like David Warner, Patrick McNee, J. Kenneth Campbell, John Rhys-Davies, tap Bob Keen (HELLRAISER) to do make up effects, and you have yourself an Eighties' classic!
Like most films of the period, it starts off with a group of bored, young slacker-types looking for thrills, something...ANYTHING that would be a little more exciting than getting high, getting drunk, getting laid (well, ALMOST more exciting than that), and definitely more of a kick than going to college classes!
They find it, alright - in the form of an invitation to a brand new kind of museum. And this one is not your garden-variety, Madame Tussaud's-wannabe. The wax figurines are so lifelike that the displays seem to draw you in...
Well, okay, they DO draw you in. Here's the kicker: the displays are dedicated to some of the most well-known figures in the history of horror: Dracula. The Wolfman. The Mummy. The Marquis de Sade. Reenactments of their most horrible deeds as they drained blood, hacked and tore off limbs or crushed their helpless victims to death. Seeing the scenes gives patrons the feeling of being in the moment...but if they give in to the compulsion of stepping across the velvet rope around each display, they will find themselves living in that moment...FOR REAL.
And here's the REALLY bad news...if the monsters in each display kill you in the 'waxwork dimension', you become a permanent part of the display...FOREVER. So once that happens, the situation couldn't get worse...could it?
Oh, yeah! The proprietor of the museum has a darker agenda than just dispatching troublesome teens, as our heroes and victims discover with each person who 'disappears' into the museum. And seeing how that plan gets foiled is only part of the giggly, gory fun.
Remember that I mentioned that Bob Keen was the effects guy on this? He got his start as a modeler for movies like STAR WARS, SUPERMAN and ALIEN, cutting his teeth as he worked up to projects like HELLRAISER and THE UNHOLY. But he really served up his calling card with HELLRAISER and with this movie. Gore-wise, this is where the retelling of the Wax Museum story gets more interesting...because thanks to Bob, the visuals go where they never had before.
In a manner that would've made the suits at Universal flinch back in the Thirties, Keen and writer/director Anthony Hickox do away with the "quaint violence" that Famous Monsters used to wreak upon their poor victims. No camera pull-aways here, folks. Where somebody might only threaten to "rip off your head and crap down your neck", these boogeymen take that threat to its most intense extremes. No CGI fakery, either. This was back-in-the-day where almost all the effects were practical, live and in-ya-face...the way we like it!
Okay, so the clothes, the music, the casting and even the acting squarely establish this as what could be considered a "period piece" for horror, I guess. But like his colleagues David Schmoeller, Ted Nicolaou, Stuart Gordon and on occasion Charles Band himself, Hickox knows how to get the action going and keep it that way.
This is one of those gems that might've slipped under your radar, but definitely worth seeking out, hunting down and dragging back home to mount in your DVD library.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
ANTHONY HICKOX made his directorial debut, with this really fun,
classic monster movie that should please all horror fans, with it's
originality & wild ideas. Four friends enter a wax exhibit that
seemingly just popped up over night in their neighbourhood, amidst a
rash of disappearances of many of the townsfolk. ZACK GHALLIGAN heads
off the cast as MARK, a rich boy who doesn't treat others as something
he just stepped in (sadly his mother who treats him like a little kid,
doesn't feel the same). Entering the museum with his friends, TONY,
SARA, & snobby ex-girlfriend CHYNA for a midnight showing (although
they are the only ones there). Upon arrival, they are greeted by an odd
ball midget butler & a LURCH (From THE ADDAMS FAMILY) like servant & a
charismatic English gentlemen named MR. LINCOLN (A wonderful
performance by David WARNER). As each kid discovers, the wax exhibits
are that of famous literary monsters. Some of which have victims in
their throes of death & some that don't. Those that don't, can be
accessed by a person who steps over the belt separating them from the
exhibit, only for said person to wind up in whatever horror tale, the
exhibit is depicting. When Tony & Chyna go missing & never return home,
Mark & Sara contact the police. The detective on the case scoffs at
Marks explanation that they may have been killed & turned into wax
figures at the museum, but soon changes his mind, when he realizes that
a lot of the victims in the missing persons photos, bear a striking
resemblance to the victims in the wax exhibits. When both he & his
partner then go missing, Mark & Sara then visit his wheel chair bound
Uncle (Played wonderfully by PATRICK MACNEE) a former hunter of the
supernatural, who has a chilling explanation about the history of the
museum's owner & what may happen, if each exhibit is soon fitted with a
victim, unless Mark & Sara can burn down the WaxWorks museum. They then
try to prevent an eventual apocalypse by breaking in & doing so, but as
they soon find out, getting into the museum after closing hours to
perform such a deed is easy, pulling it off will be impossible. When
the creatures & their now evil victims rise out of their worlds, the
war between good & evil is truly on, but only one side can walk out.
I loved WAXWORK! it's easily one of my all time favourite horror movies! Even when I was a little kid, I rented this movie quiet a lot & it still never bores me, even though I've seen it countless times. WAXWORK is a film made with heart & it shows. It's a horror film for horror fans, by horror fans & really that's the best kind of horror film any fan can ask for. It's a very imaginative & fun piece of work. The performances are great & the special effects are tremendous (Courtesy of HELLRAISER'S own BOB KEEN!). Director ANTHONY HICKOX turned out to be a really good director & the film is a very impressive debut. Hickox manages to mount a considerable amount of tension, suspense & even some creepy atmosphere throughout the film. The kills are disgusting, with plenty of blood shot all over the place, squashed & pulled off heads etc. Hickox clearly had a ball writing the script & it shows! The film is littered with various pokes at famous horror films & famous movie monsters, such as: THE MUTATED BABY (IT'S ALIVE) AUBREY (LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS) FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER, THE MUMMY (This mummy is no skinny mummy either! he's massive & very scary!) THE WOLFMAN (You have to see this thing, it's scary & make the werewolves in THE HOWLING look like poodles!) Dracula & his BRIDES, an AXE MURDER, THE INVISIBLE MAN, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, The GOLEM, A WITCH, JACK THE RIPPER, a VOODDOO PRIEST, the MARQUIS DE SADE, CIRCUS FREAK, even DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE! The set designs are really good & well captured. Amazingly accurate & professional looking, considering the films low budget & the score changes depending on which monster or era were in & is done in the classical scores of the famous UNIVERSAL horror movie scores of the 30's/40's. Despite it's subject matter, WAXWORK also has some laugh out loud moments & dialogue. My favourite being the one where Mr. Lincoln is showing a jealous football jock (who has come in to look for his missing girlfriend) a sculpture of the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, with the Jock saying how much he loved the movie. Mr. Lincoln looks at him bewildered & says: "They made a movie about the Phantom Of The Opera?" & after they chat a bit more, Lincoln pushes him through into the Phantoms world, where he then re-appears as a wax victims. Lincoln then walks away & says: They'll make a movie about anything these days! Hysterical!
Look at the top window in Dracula's castle as the heroine is coming down for dinner, it's in the shape of a pentagram. All in all, I highly recommend WAXWORK to any genre fan, it's the perfect type of horror film, that you can gather a bunch of friends together & watch. As the original VHS box art stated: WAXWORK is more fun than a barrel of mummies! Followed by WAXWORK II: LOST IN TIME
**** stars

The teen comedy horror genre isn't exactly popular with the critics.
But people watch them because, well, they can be fun. And that's just
what this is. Nice, neat fun.
It's especially impressive considering it's from a first-time writer/director, Anthony Hickox, who later went on to make decent werewolf TV movie "Full Eclipse" in 1993. Here he gives his own homage to a wide variety of horror movies. You've got your werewolf movie (the very first waxwork, incidentally), your vampire movie, mummies, zombies and an trashy period piece about the Marquis de Sade ... all of these are in waxwork museum along with brief appearances from aliens, Jack the Ripper and more.
At first I expected it just to be a "Dr Terror's House of Horror" style piece with six different stories involved, but it turns out the film has more than enough original ideas to keep itself going. It all ends with every waxwork piece in the place coming to life for a final battle. Which is nice. The actors playing the teenagers all give fairly decent, entertaining performances and you have notable cameos from the likes of Miles O'Keeffe, John Rhys-Davies (as the werewolf), David Warner and Patrick Macnee (who was in "The Howling"). The script is pretty well structured and very little about the storyline is disappointing.
All in all, this is among the most entertaining movies I've seen in a while, and I'd recommend it if you're after an ninety minutes of light-hearted, slightly twisted enjoyment.

Six souls must be gotten and given to various monsters in a magical/mystical waxwork museum in order for anarchy and evil to swallow the world. Well, that is the premise of the film, but don't let it deter you from some good solid fun. The plot is at best swiss cheese-like, but the film has style and creativity to make up for its shortcomings. Most importantly the film is loaded with generous doses of humour throughout. David Warner plays the owner of the museum and, like almost all of his performances, is a joy to watch as he slightly hams his way through this film. Some of his lines are the most memorable, particularly as he talks to a jock about his wax creations, staring at a representation of The Phantom of the Opera saying, "They will make a movie out of anything," having just heard that it had been filmed multiple times. The rest of the cast is adequate. Zach Galligan gives his mediocre best in the male lead, but two stunning beauties supply something to visually feast on despite their lack of acting breadth. Michelle Johnson and Deborah Foreman do their level best to entertain. The film is an obvious homage to the horror genre with all kinds of visual allusions to former horror films. Anthony Hickox, the director, creates a fun horror film that I think his father Douglas Hickox, the director of my personal favorite horror film Theater of Blood with Vincent Price, would certainly have been proud of for its ability to mix chills with fun. The film also has a nice cameo by Patrick Macnee, the old avenger himself. Two minor flaws for me are the ending, which is somewhat too forced, and the bloodletting which may be a tad overdone at times. Notwithstanding this criticism, one of my favorite scenes in the film is the one where the man who came to Dracula's dinner table(albeit minus much of his leg)agonizes in pain as he is prodded, poked, chewed, etc.. whilst a fight is going on around him. A fun, fun film.
If you can get through the first half hour of this film, which features
bad dialogue and stiff performances, you may just enjoy it.
A small group of spoiled teens (and one nice girl) go into a mysterious wax museum after hours and each succumb to a different, and dangerous, display. John Rhys Davies (long before his now famous "Gimli the Dwarf" days) is here as a tortured, dramatic werewolf. Miles O'Keefe (whom hardcore MST3K fans will have no trouble recognizing) is a hair product dependent Count Dracula, who seduces the rich-bitch of the group into a nasty, bloody, gross-out dinner party. The Nice Girl (Deborah Foreman) is drawn into the S&M world of The Marquis De Sade (as played by the too seldom seen J. Kenneth Campbell) and it is up to the rich boy turned nice guy to save her before she is whipped to death. Once all of the displays are filled, the characters within are unleashed, and it becomes a war within the wax museum as the remaining heroes must now battle the wax monsters and their transformed friends.
All in all, this plays more like a comedy than a horror film, but the violence, when it appears, is so over-the-top that splatter fans won't be too disappointed.
Followed by a pretty good sequel filled with numerous references to classic horror. Worth checking out at least once.
This one is really enjoyable and fun to watch.I don't care that the story is a little bit silly;horror films are not supposed to be an art movies.What do we have here is a great galore of the famous monsters:werewolf,vampires(their leader Count Dracula is played by Miles"Silent Hunter"O'Keefe),mummy,Marquis De Sade,zombies,Jack the Ripper and even living hand(just like in "Evil dead 2").Special effects(Bob Keen)are good and there are also some nifty gore scenes.This flick isn't scary at all,there are only a few creepy scenes but it doesn't matter.Take your bowl of popcorn,invite your friends and enjoy.
While walking to the high-school, the teenagers Sarah (Deborah Foreman)
and China (Michelle Johnson) are invited by the owner of a wax museum,
David Lincoln (David Warner), to a private exhibition at midnight and
he tells that they may invite four other friends to come with them.
China invites her former boyfriend, the wealth Mark (Zach Galligan),
their friend Tony (Dana Ashbrook) and two other schoolmates to come to
the museum, but the two last ones give-up.
Mark, China, Sarah and Tony are welcome by a dwarf and they separate in the room during the tour. Soon Tony crosses the security rope of the display and he finds in a cabin trapped with a werewolf. China also crosses the security rope of another display and she finds in a castle with several vampires. Tony and China are killed and become part of the exhibition. Mark and Sarah leave the museum and soon they find that their friends are going missing. Mark goes to the police but Inspector Roberts (Charles McCaughan) does not believe in his words. Mark and Sarah find in the attic of his mansion an old newspaper and they learn a dark secret about David Lincoln. They visit Sir Wilfred (Patrick Macnee), who is a friend of Mark's family, and they learn that David is near to unleash evil on Earth.
"Waxwork" is a funny and gore movie with an absurd story, silly dialogs, but also a cult movie. The Waxwork Museum mysteriously appears in town and soon teenagers, the police inspector and several people disappear in the wax museum, but nobody in the town seems to care. The 80's is a fertile period of horror movies and "Waxwork" is among my favorites. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "A Passagem" ("The Passage")
Pretty fun horror movie! It's not the newest idea in the world: there'd
been a German silent horror anthology movie set in a Waxwork. In that,
a man is hired to write stories about some of the characters in the wax
museum. In each segment, we see the story played out, and the author,
the owner and his daughter appear in the segments as well. In the last
segment, they're menaced by Springheel Jack.
In this film, a Waxwork appears in what seems to be a residential neighborhood - strange place to try to do business. It is filled with various death scenes involving werewolves, vampires, zombies, mummies, and so on. Some characters we don't see too much of seem to include the Invisible Man, Jack the Ripper. A group of young people are invited to a party at the Waxwork, and some of them step onto the displays, and find themselves transported into a live action scene where their lives are in danger.
I had a good time watching it. Some of the effects in it are good, as in the vampire one, but the werewolf is one of the worst I've seen. I liked it enough I'll definitely check out the sequel.

Danielle Lugo attended some Sacred Heart of Vineland softball games as an eighth grader.
"Sacred Heart was 'me,' " said Lugo, a Vineland resident. "I knew this was where I wanted to go."
Rosie LaGrotta felt the same way.
"I looked at a lot of schools," said LaGrotta, who lives in Franklinville. "I liked this school the best."
The junior softball stars made a decision three years ago: They wanted to be Lions.
But they won't be able to finish what they started. They won't attend the little school on North East Avenue as 12th graders, won't play their senior season, won't graduate in Sacred Heart's Class of 2014.

Hi all,
Will be spending a week in and around Banff NP next week. Hoping to backpack from Sunshine Meadows to Mt. Assiniboine and hike out through Mt. Shark trailhead, but are trying to avoid having to book a rental car and leave it at the trailhead. Is anyone aware of any shuttle services that might take us from the trailhead into Canmore? It sounds like its a fairly busy trail; would it be unreasonable to hope to catch a ride with other hikers? I can't seem to find out how far the trailhead…

Skip to comments.NYC judge wants to see CBS panel's Rather papers
Posted on 11/05/2008 5:21:19 PM PST by My Favorite Headache
NEW YORK - A New York City judge says he wants to see documents that passed between a law firm and a panel CBS hired to investigate a Dan Rather story on President Bush.
Judicial Hearing Officer Ira Gammerman told attorney David Versfelt on Wednesday to let him examine the papers so he can decide whether Rather's lawyers may see them.
Versfelt's law firm was hired to advise the panel. Versfelt says the papers are protected by attorney-client privilege.
(Excerpt) Read more at omg.yahoo.com ...
Hurray!!! Bush is gone!!! Bring back Rather!!!
Congressman Billybob
Latest article, "President Obama: How Bad Will It Be?"
The Declaration, the Constitution, parts of the Federalist, and America's Owner's Manual, here.
How can we lose?
Judges wear robes not pajamas......Too high falootin.
Better check the font!
They're still looking for Rather's missing credibility.
I'm not sure of Gammerman's political persuasion, though he lives in Manhattan so that is a giveaway- but he is one of the hardest working judges in NYC, and has been so for many years.
Hey judge, why don't you do something productive and insist on being shown Obama's birth certificate!
They can exonerate each other all they like......I won't ever watch em again.
... I haven't watched CBS, NBC or ABC since 98 when I got Direct TV dish. I lived just far enough from big city where an antenna got poor reception and just close enough where Sat TV company wouldn't allow a sat link to local stations.
So I decided ....who cares. The programming sucked and I had the NFL /MLB package for my favorite games. If I wanted sedition slant on an issue I watched PBS, MSMBC or CNN or some of FOX shows.
MSM may get a portion of my Direct TV subscription fee yet ....I don't "watch" CBS/NBC/ABC at all ...... nor do I support those that sponser such if at all possible !
I'd ""rather"" they rot on the vine !
Stay safe !!
CBS will always be "See B.S." to me, with reporting on a par with Comedy Central.
Agree....... looking at all ways to keep our cash support from MSM and their sponsors that doesn't report news anymore. Albeit not a fan of Shep the Shlep Smith on Fox I enjoyed their around the world in 80 second news and the NEWS hour albeit his version of humor added to that news.
I do not want to censor MSM I want it known to viewers that OPINION IS NOT THE FACT's ! Too many elderly including my family were quoting so much BS that it took me days to fix what MSM spewed to them in (form of) opinion fear mongering to these people. Old folks who still TRUST these talking heads and can't believe that someone on the TV would even be ALLOWED to lie to them !!!
To do such, quote out of contex, diversion of facts etc is nothing less than propaganda versus the news. I don't educate with propaganda in my pro or con efforts to help people make smart decisions best for them and them.
MSM needs to overhaul their presentation or go the way of the newspaper ......
I want to see his papers too. If he don't have them deport him!
You think you got it bad? Listen, I've got people who get their political information from "The View" and NOWHERE else.
Beacuse they're family, I resist the impulse to grab them by the neck and slowly squeeze the life from them.
Beldar Conehead, from the movie Coneheads
"Somewhere in these papers, according to Dan Rather at least, is the smoking gun that proves McCain was not in the Navy during his five years of POW captivity...while Obama was a Top Gun in the Chicago Air National Guard..."
LOL! This will help give the Dems a leg-up when McCain saddles up his walker to shuffle out for another try in 2012.
That's a really nasty thing to say about Comedy Central.
Same here. Once we got satellite, it was curtains for them.
I immediately called one of my sisters when the word first came out that Palin was to be interviewed by Charlie Gibson. Both of us, as huge Palin fans, were willing to tune in to the network.
We had a good laugh back then when we realized that 1) we didn't know which network he was on, and 2) we thought he was still on in the morning.
Of course, I was able to get the info in time, and we each watched the supercilious inquisition. We each concluded, as well, that we will never again watch that hideous toad Gibson, though.
"CBS vs. Rather
How can we lose?"
C?BS! can 'vindicate' Rather.
I was interviewed by these guys. I expounded on how the documents were obviously, undeniably, irrefutably fake. Referred him to Joseph Newcomer's analysis, among others.
And I also explained how I was a storm trooper in Rove's clone army, and received orders by satellite through my fillings.
Please take my deposition!
John / Billybob
A lot of people were interviewed by this panel whose testimony did not make it into the report.
Rather doen't know what he is getting into here with this deposition request. When these papers between CBS and the Thornburgh panel are reviewed, if attorney/client privilege does not prevent it, they will show that the panel had proof that that these documents were fake. But that finding would then expose CBS to civil and criminal liabilities. So Thornburgh, like a good attorney protecting his client, made sure that the panel conclusions "could not prove or disprove the authenticity of the documents", disregarding the findings of its lawyers.
Rather, in his ignorance, is not aware of what he is asking for. If they are released to Rather's attorneys, Rather will be in possession of proof that the memos are fakes. He will have proven his own theory and defense that the memos were real.
Nice going Dan, you moron.
Correction to next to last sentence -
He will have proven that they are NOT real.
I have always felt exactly that way - that to protect the client Thornburgh and the law firm stayed their hand in concluding the documents were fake. The erected a standard of proof that exceeds metaphysical certitude and said it was not met. But in fact, there is not a scintilla of evidence they are authentic. The Report totally, systematically and comprehensively demolishes every argument put forth by Mapes, and proves her to be a prolific liar in dozens of crucial particulars. The "meshing analysis" - an insane delusion or fancy lie, take your pick. The content - all wrong and definitively probative of forgery as well. Fake and inaccurate. The forensic analysis of the document by Peter Tytell is an unqualified opinion of forgery. They never referenced Joseph Newcomer - whose opinion was also definitive and conclusive.
I think there was a fear of legal jeopardy if they concluded it was fake, so they tried to thread the needle.
But all they have succeeded in doing is giving the delusional lefty nuts of the world - including Dan Rather - a crutch upon which to carry on their Ahab obsession, insisting always, "the documents have never been proven fake."
They are getting what they deserve for tying to shade the truth when the truth was demanded.
