I love, love, love "Precious'" Gabourey Sidibe and it's fun to see her in another acting vehicle. I don't know about "Tower Heist" though, it's from Brett Ratner (!!!) who really hasn't done a good movie in my book unless you call "Rush Hour 3" and "X-Men: The Last Stand" visionary!
But the plot seems fun enough, it's a revenge heist kind of thing, here's the official synopsis:
After the workers at a luxury Central Park condominium discover the penthouse billionaire has stolen their retirement, they plot the ultimate revenge: a heist to reclaim what he took from them.
Okay, so the workers unite against Bernie Madoff (HA!). That should be fun no?
This one's from Universal Pictures and they're releasing "Tower Heist" on November 4th. Here's the full cast info from Yahoo:
Ben Stiller ....... Josh Kovacs
Eddie Murphy ...... Slide
Casey Affleck ..... Cole Howard
Alan Alda ......... Arthur Shaw
Matthew Broderick . Chase Fitzhugh
Téa Leoni ......... Gertie Fiansen
Michael Peña ...... Rick Malloy
Gabourey Sidibe ....Odessa Montero

2011 is Ryan Gosling's Year! See Him Duke it Out With George Clooney in New "The Ides of March" Trailer!
I can't wait for this movie! I don't know about you, but I'm really getting tired of summer blockbusters! My heart and mind are longing for great films, and thank God the Oscar season is almost here!
"The Ides of March" is one of those Oscar-bait films that George Clooney instinctively knows how to make. This time, Clooney serves as a triple-threat for he wrote, directed, and starred in the film. Impressive!
Based on the play by Beau Willimon, Clooney plays a newbie presidential candidate and Ryan Gosling (this dude's starmeter is rising every second -- he's in the upcoming "Crazy, Stupid, Love" which I love, and "Drive") plays his idealistic staffer. Paul Giamatti (Oscar-bait), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Oscar-bait), and Evan Rachel Wood (not yet Oscar-bait but should!) co-star.
"The Ides of March" opens October 7th and I'm sooooo there!
P.S. Do you know that everytime someone asks me who is my favorite star to interview I always say George Clooney? That is so true! I sat down with the actor for "Leatherheads" and he was a genuine, down-to-earth person, and very, very real! I adore him! Here, take a trip back to 2008 and check out my interview with Clooney for the Universal film. Oh, click here to see that!

"Transformers" redux anyone? The trailer presents the movie with the same shimmering sheen as the Michael Bay Paramount extravaganza right? After all, both "Transformers" and "Battleship" came from Hasbro although the latter's origin was a board game.
But this one's from Universal, and it's from respectable actor/director Peter Berg. And even Liam Neeson is in it! But already, many are calling the film cheesy, crappy, and someone even asks, "does no one care about content anymore?"
See, when you guys keep on watching films like "Transformers 1, 2, and 3," Hollywood will continue to give us cheesy, crappy, content-free movies!
Suffice it to say, not everyone is saying "All Hail 'Battleship." Me? I'm saving my energy until I see the film when it opens May 18th of next year.
Plus, aren't you guys excited to see Rihanna on the big screen?
Here's more info on "Battleship" from Yahoo:
GENRES: Action/Adventure, Science Fiction, War and Adaptation
IN THEATERS: May 18th, 2012 (wide)
MPAA: Not yet rated.
'Battleship,' an epic action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force.
Cast & Crew
Taylor Kitsch ........................... Alex Hopper
Alexander Skarsgard ...................... Stone Hopper
Liam Neeson ............................. Admiral Shane
Brooklyn Decker .......................... Sam
Rihanna ................................. Raikes
Josh Pence ............................... Chief Moore
Jesse Plemons ............................ Ordy
Peter MacNicol ........................... Secretary of Defense

When you are presented with a movie named "Cowboys & Aliens" you know exactly what you are going to get. Instead of Indians being the bad guys, the extraterrestrials are the ones terrorizing the wild, wild West.
It's a clever concept but when you are mixing genres you are entering a very treacherous terrain. In "Cowboys & Aliens," the western genre elopes with sci-fi and the filmmakers tried their best to find the perfect balance. Predictably, the western elements overshadow the sci-fi aspects.

Today is my one-year anniversary at Microsoft. There have been a lot of changes for me in the last year and I've learned a lot. So I thought I would be reflective and share some my experiences, observations, and thoughts of the past year here.
Okay, it's true, there are a lot of guys here - slightly more men than women from what I've observed. But all in all, Microsoft is a very diverse place. As you walk through the halls or cafeteria, you'll hear several different languages being spoken and see such a wide range of types of people. It's kind of like being at a gathering of the Galatic Senate in Star Wars (or Starfleet for you Trekkies.) It is both amazing and humbling to work at a place that attracts some of the smartest people from all over the world.
Microsofies (that's what we're called, apparently) use our competitors' products - openly and proudly. I know a bunch of people who have iPhones - and all the internets that go along with it. People here use FireFox and Macs. And, to be honest, Google seems to index this blog a heck of a lot faster than Live Search does. And, it turns out it's more than okay to use and like our competitors' products. The attitude seems to be that "I'll use the Microsoft version when Microsoft makes the better version."
Of course, we do use our own products - and complain loudly about them when they don't work like we want them to. Last night I had dinner with friends and we tried to come up with a Microsoft product that didn't get picked on internally. The winners were OneNote and Notepad. Those of my friends who don't have an iPhone have smart phones running Windows Mobile. And, for all the great features of the phone that make me more productive and on-schedule, the thing that sticks out most in my head is that phantom alarm bug! (largely because it has woken me up early the past two days). I really love the new Zune hardware and firmware, but internally users are up in arms at the fact that it lacks clock. (And, no, it isn't going to get one any time soon).
The complaining is largely because we want Microsoft to have the best products. There distribution lists (DLs) that we can join for just about every product available and discuss what works and what doesn't work - even (or especially) if you aren't on that product team. Also, there's this term here called "dogfooding" which means using our own products before they are released to the world as a beta or CTP (community technology preview). Of course, sometimes dogfooding is just as good as it sounds (I'm talking about you, IE8!). The whole point of this of course is to release the best products that we can.
Yes, I have managed to get outside the walls of Microsoft since I moved here a year ago and I think I might be becoming an actual Seattleite. I've made some really great friends here, despite the famed Seattle Freeze. I've learned to snowboard and love it. I've learned to appreciate beer. I can drink lattes without sugar now. I'm now an REI member. I have played Xbox and have my very own gamertag. And, it took a really long time, but eventually I did obtain both a Washington license plate and driver's license.
When I started this blog a year ago, I had no readers. Last month, it got more than 49,000 hits (okay, usually it averages somewhere around 20,000 but then I went and mentioned the great emulator give-away of 2008). It's been an interesting year. Thanks for reading. Stay tuned - maybe for more code examples, maybe for more musings. Who knows.

Guano, sand dunes, sand-boarding and Pisco
Huacachina Travel Blog› entry 29 of 107 › view all entries
ANDREI - A cracking start to the tour with a spot of frolicking amongst the sand dunes at Huacachina. First, we had a little trip to the Ballestas Islands - the poor-man's Galapagos Islands. As veterans of Darwin's source of inspiration, we can confirm that, but it was pretty good value for money as it only cost us $10 each! We saw more penguins here but there was no way of getting as near the wildlife, which includes gulls boobies and sealions. There was also the little matter of guano - bird excrement - which coats the islands and is harvested every 7 years or so and exported. Not as smelly as expected, but the good news was that none of our clothes collected any of the fresh stuff as we sped around in a motor-boat!
On to Huacachina and the dunes, including the tallest one in the world (which I somehow managed to miss.
To round off things, there was a big barbecue amongst the dunes with too much free Pisco. Your's truly indulged in this heavily (along with driver Steve-o) and I soon crashed into a mess of vomit and annoying (to Kerry) half-sentences, etc! Before the fall, there was much banter and a drunken game of limbo. Those dune-buggy guys and their brethen seemed to delight in "getting close" to the drunken ladies in our group... Nothing bad to report, though. Only the edited photos for this blog seem to imply something different!
This was all rounded off by some sweet slumber under the beautiful starry sky. If only I could remember that part...!

In a blog posting "The VoIP Industry ReBoot Continues," Jeff Pulver summarizes his thoughts on last week's proceedings. We present it here so you don't have to click over…
September 17, 2009
The VoIP Industry ReBoot Continues
On Tuesday, September 15th, the second HD Communications Summit took place in New York City. This conference brought together the emerging HD Communications Industry and took place on the heals of the announcement of Orange enabling HD Voice in Moldova. (see New York Times, Sound of Mobile Calls Gets an Upgrade).
Back in December 2008 I had a feeling that HD Voice was going to happen and happen big in 2009 and thanks to the pioneering work of France Telecom / Orange, their efforts are helping to keep me a person of my word.
Since the first HD Communications Summit back in May, "HD Voice" has become the shiny new buzzword in the communications industry. I have enjoyed seeing HD Voice getting attention at a variety of trade shows and conferences since then.
Special thanks goes to Daniel Berninger who helped organize the event and the support our sponsors: AudioCodes, Broadcom, Global IP Sound, Gigaset, Polycom, Snom, voxbone and Wyde Voice. Thanks also to all the speakers who took the time to come to NYC and have their voices heard. And a super special thanks goes to my friend Jake MacLeod, Principal Vice Present and CTO of Bechtel, who made it a point to take notes during each of the presentations and shared his notes and his take aways at the end fo the event.
Personally, I enjoyed seeing a growing number of familiar faces in the audience and on stage. While some of my friend's titles and companies have changed, their commitment to challenge the status quo continues on. It was great seeing the industry get together, compare notes and take the steps needed to move their efforts forward. I believe Tuesday's gathering will have a positive effect for the future of the industry as a whole. We are now living in an era of coopitition in the HD Voice space, a time where competitors realize it is time to work together to promote a common goal. Together we have forged a bond which us take us forward as HD Voice gains widespread adoption.
I opened the day by sharing some of my thoughts about "Accelerating the conversion to HD"
Some of the points that I made during my talk were:
– – –
– Moldova/Orange 2M on line with HD. Incubator. Most of Eastern Europe will go HD in the years ahead.
– Change will happen – encourage market disruption and accelerate change to HD.
– Back in 1995 we were hobbyists – now it is a serious technology and business
– Hyper-communications – Overloaded / overwhelming – hyper-connectedness; what will it be like 5 years from now?
– Embassies, Nuclear Risk Reduction, State Department, all are interested in HD voice.
– The existing carriers are investigating the technology as well as the cable companies.
– Introduction of VoIP = Lower costs, wider distribution, lower profits, more competition
– Creation of HD Connect Now – consortium of 12 companies; Working on interoperability among the chip vendors
– Need to continue building global awareness and promotion
– Need to continue to assemble a cohesive ecosystem
– – –
Look for HD Voice to continue to be in the the news in 2009 as more service providers announce their commitment to redefining the sound of communications.

People SHOCKED At What's Spotted On The Back Of SUV Driving Down Major U.S. Highway
Drivers heading going about their weekend on an otherwise average afternoon were headed down a major U.S. highway when their path crossed with an SUV's. While the rig was minding the rules of the road, it's what was spotted on the back that made several horrified onlookers hit the brakes in disbelief and outrage of what they witnessed.
Other drivers on the road began honking incessantly at the scene, which only made angry people more furious at what was in front of them. Apparently, a frustrated patriot had something to get off his chest and put his loud and proud message across the back of his ride. Although it was well-received by fellow conservatives honking in approval, liberal motorists weren't too impressed with what this blunt badass had to say.
As a reminder to too many citizens who seemed to have forgotten, this driver set out to inform them of the obvious, and also let welcome them to the new America under President Trump. "This is America…We DON'T redistribute Wealth…we EARN it!" the Trump-supporter had emblazoned his back window with, in big, easy to read white lettering that was apparently a difficult concept for the left to grasp.
"Saw this patriot while driving," the poster wrote on Reddit with the photo snapped while behind this unapologetic patriot. Despite the support for this message from hardworking Americans on the right side of politics, liberals are furious that the handouts that they feel entitled to aren't going to keep flowing in their direction unless they work for it. It's hard to hear, but someone needed to say it and this car owner decided to be the one to do it.

Trump Just Got Last Laugh, Kathy Griffin Just Denounced U.S. & Leaves The Country – Here's Where She's Heading
We are laughing & so will you!
Now, this is what I call the trash taking itself out!
In what every red-blooded Patriotic American can consider a huge Thanksgiving gift, Kathy Griffin has just announced she will be leaving the United States for at least four years. And the reason is that, of course, she hates President Donald Trump.
After Griffin participated in a gruesome photo shoot which featured the so-called comedienne holding a bloody, decapitated fake head resembling President Donald Trump, not unlike her Isis counterparts. Celebrities, and prominent media figures expressed a range of responses on social media, with many criticizing the image as being in bad taste. Although Kathy Griffin has "apologized" for the gory image she created with photographer Tyler Shields, it seems both sides of the political aisle weren't impressed by it and she has managed to bring her career to an abrupt end.
Obviously, she has wasted no time in playing the victim card and declared that at age 57 she doesn't have a lot of time to be patient. Griffin begged people not to be "too hard" on her after claiming to be in the middle of a Hollywood blacklist and added that when she gets back home she doesn't have one single day of paid work in front of her. Awww. poor little liberal. She pulls an awful stunt like she did and she is the poor victim. Maybe in her book, but not in the book of Americans, both on the left and right sides of the aisle.
The Huffington Post Reports:
Kathy Griffin Referred To Anderson Cooper As A 'Spineless Heiress'
The comedian made the comment to the Daily Beast during an interview about Lisa Bloom.
Kathy Griffin isn't pulling any punches.
On Sunday, the Daily Beast published an article in which the comedian referred to Anderson Cooper as "the Spineless Heiress."
Griffin's comment was part of an article about her public dispute with former attorney Lisa Bloom, who represented her after photos of Griffin posing with President Donald Trump's "severed head" surfaced online in May.
The controversial pictures not only cost Griffin her CNN New Year's Eve hosting gig, but also spurred Cooper, who was Griffin's co-host and longtime friend, to condemn them on Twitter.
For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate.
— Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) May 31, 2017
Cooper didn't reach out to give Griffin a heads up about his tweet before he posted it and didn't initially check in on Griffin after she received backlash for the photos, which hurt her feelings, New York Magazine reported.
Adding insult to injury, Cooper went on "Watch What Happens Live" in July and told host Andy Cohen that he and Griffin were "still friends." When Cooper finally reached out to Griffin in a series of texts in August, she ended their friendship.
Cooper is the son of clothing designer Gloria Vanderbilt, who is a descendent of shipping and railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt.
He told People in 2016 that he will not inherit any of the Vanderbilt fortune, and acknowledged that he was very lucky to grow up with "great privilege."
During Griffin's interview with the Daily Beast, she expressed her disappointment with Bloom.
Griffin estimated that she paid the celebrity attorney $40,000 for two days of legal representation, and said that Bloom tried to pressure her into a press tour. Griffin added that a press conference she did with Bloom in June was a mess.
The comedian also tweeted at Bloom on Sunday, telling her, "Stop calling me. If you'd like to refund me the tens of thousands of $$ I wasted on your services maybe I'll talk to you."
Dear @LisaBloom pls stop calling me. If you'd like to refund me the tens of thousands of $$ I wasted on your services maybe I'll talk to you
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) October 22, 2017
Bloom — who also represented Harvey Weinstein before cutting ties with him earlier this month — told the Daily Beast that the press conference was a disaster because Griffin spoke off the cuff and did not use notes the two had worked on together. She also said she had only texted Griffin once in the past three months.
"The last time I spoke to Kathy, at a group dinner recently, she gave me a big hug, was very friendly and said everything was great between us," Bloom said. "I had no idea there was a problem until a reporter reached out to me about this a few days ago."
The announcement that she's leaving the US came a few days after the has-been entertainer fainted on stage in Dublin. Because being an extreme left-wing hack must be draining work.
Thank you for an amazing night Dublin! pic.twitter.com/SBRmkjgmHB
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) November 8, 2017
Glad to see both sides of the political spectrum coming together and saying she went too far. And at the age of 57, she should have known better and there is no excuse imaginable. This wasn't just a tweet that came out in the heat of the moment. This was planned out and she had weeks, if not months, to think about what repercussions she would face for putting this picture out there.
Please share if you are happy to see her go for the at least the next 8 YEARS….

BREAKING SCANDAL: Major Democrat Lawmakers Going Down After What They Did To Women On Secret DC Flights
This is bad!
The reports of scandals in Washington seem to be growing in number by the day, and as far as most conservatives are concerned, that's a really good thing. The lack of outrage on the part of Republicans when icons like Harvey Weinstein was probably extremely confusing for many on the left. Becuase while conservatives promote a scandal-free lifestyle, we don't live with our heads in the sand.
Most of us just assumed that this madness was happening in Hollywood and Washington, but that the deep pockets doing the dirty deeds were keeping it quiet. As it turns out, we were right, and the recent flood of reports of abuse of power and outright criminal aggression only further confirms our suspicion that the PC utopia that the left wants to push off as the end result of the nation giving in the liberalism is no more than a sham.
If there were any more proof needed that the misconduct in Washington is completely out of control, The Gateway Pundit reports that a new Democrat might be taking the prize for most willing to spend taxpayer dollars on his abuse of power. Representative John Conyers is being accused of not only harassing more than one woman but flying them around, on our dime:
"As TGP previously reported, according to Axios reporter Jonathan Swan, claims against Democrat Al Franken are the 'very tip of the congressional iceberg.'
The 'next wave,' is coming, says Swan.
Congress has a rampant sexual harassment problem. In fact, the problem is so bad that female lawmakers and aides keep a 'creep list' of men who are notorious for lewd behavior.
It was revealed Monday evening that one Congressman who settled a harassment suit in 2015 was Democrat Rep John Conyers. According to affidavits, Conyers used taxpayer money to fly women into D.C. to meet with him in hotel rooms!
The documents were first provided to BuzzFeed News by Mike Cernovich.
Independent journalist Mike Cernovich teased from his Twitter account Sunday evening following the Axios report. 'Ranking Democrat on major committee accused of several harassment by multiple women. Huge scandal. Developing…' Cernovich tweeted.
On Monday Cernovich tweeted 'Tonight' over his Sunday night teaser."
Ranking Democrat on major committee accused of several harassment by multiple women. Huge scandal. Developing…
— Mike Cernovich 🇺🇸 (@Cernovich) November 20, 2017
It's become increasingly evident that media bias keeps some of these reports from us, but you know that things have gotten very bad when even an ultra-liberal outlet, like Buzzfeed, is ready to spill the dirt on the Dems and their shady deals.
"Buzzfeed reports:
'Michigan Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not "succumb to [his] sexual advances."
Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.
Buzzfeed also reported that staffers were tasked with flying women in for Conyers using Congressional resources!
'One affidavit from a former female employee states that she was tasked with flying in women for the congressman. "One of my duties while working for Rep. Conyers was to keep a list of women that I assumed he was having affairs with and call them at his request and, if necessary, have them flown in using Congressional resources," said her affidavit. (A second staffer alleged in an interview that Conyers used taxpayer resources to fly women to him.)'
Former employees also said that Conyers made it very clear that if they performed 'personal favors' it would lead to salary increases and promotions. It was well known Conyers was having affairs with multiple female staffers. He often made sexual advances towards women and grew angry if they brought their husbands around.
Even more egregious, Conyers' victims were paid a settlement in exchange for their silence out of taxpayer money after a long, daunting process.
John Boehner was House Speaker when these settlements were made. Buzzfeed reached out to his spox and they have not responded with [a] comment.
Conyers' wife is also a crook. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, former Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers was sentenced to 37 months in prison for bribery charges in March of 2010.
Read the full report by Buzzfeed here."
If ever there were a time for a full inquiry and swamp draining, now is the time. We're at a point where no one is able to trust their representatives because of who might be covering for whom. According to Representative Jackie Speier, a Democrat from California, you and I, the taxpayers, have paid upwards of $15million in sexual harassment lawsuits against members of Congress. And that's just the funds we know of, not counting what is being covered up elsewhere.
Washington has been run by dirty politicians for far too long, it's time to take back our representation and send congressmen and women with integrity.

BREAKING: Top Clinton Donor Just Found Dead Days Before Indictments Due
Hillary should be in prison!
The number of deaths close to the Clintons is climbing by the day. What might have once been brushed off as coincidences are fast becoming an epidemic that won't be ignored for much longer. Even if there are politicians who consider themselves to be above the law, the American people don't feel the same way, and it's getting very easy to connect the dots.
Donors to the Clinton Foundation are numerous, but few have raised seven figures for the former presidential candidate. Those who have were no doubt on the short list for the would be Clinton administration's cabinet. However, all of that was derailed when President Trump took the victory and Hillary was left with nothing but two failed campaigns and a big mess to clean up.
Cleaning up that mess would have been a lot easier if she had actually won and been in charge of the White House, but since she isn't, she's apparently making due. The long list of criminal activity that many suspect the Clintons to have been involved in is only as good as the proof that can be brought, and those who hold that proof just keep waking up dead. Case in point, Houston Lawyer Steve Mostyn who just days ago lost his life to sudden onset mental illness.
Your News Wire reports that Mostyn was found dead barely before indictments were to come down:
"Top Hillary Clinton donor and Democratic Party operative Steve Mostyn was found dead on Wednesday, just days before the sealed indictments are expected to be handed out. He was 46.
His wife, Amber Mostyn, who also served as an aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton, told The Texas Tribune that her husband died after 'a sudden onset and battle with a mental health issue.'
A prominent lawyer and dirty tricks political operative, Steve Mostyn was one of Hillary Clinton's top campaign donors, raising over $1 million and working closely with the Clinton team in Texas."
It was common knowledge that the Clinton foundation had some pretty shady business partners, but since everyone was so sure that Hillary was going to win, the ends were just going to have to justify the means. That didn't end up being the case though, and now all their eggs being in that one basket is making for a pretty scary looking future if you're a member of the DNC.
"The sudden and unexpected death of the elite Democratic operative has sparked fears the Clinton camp is "cleaning house" before the indictments are unsealed and legal cases begin. There are 10 sealed indictments in Houston. Let's see if it now drops to nine.
Sad confirmation: Powerhouse Houston lawyer and Democratic donor Steve Mostyn has died pic.twitter.com/gP6fLhKweF
— Evan Smith (@evanasmith) November 16, 2017
The news of Steve Mostyn's sudden death comes after William D. Campbell, a Russian insider who was due to testify to a Senate committee on Monday that Hillary Clinton accepted bribes in the uranium scandal, went into hiding, telling close friends that he survived an attempt on his life."
World Net Daily initially reported the details of Mostyn's untimely death"
A wealthy Democratic mega-donor who co-founded the Ready for Hillary PAC, which helped launch Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign for the White House, has died of a gunshot wound to the head after "a sudden onset and battle with a mental health issue," his family says.
Steve Mostyn, a 46-year-old Texas trial lawyer who reportedly contributed millions to pro-Clinton super PACs, was found dead in his Houston home on Nov. 15.
Mostyn's death was ruled a suicide by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences. According to the New York Times, Mostyn's wife, Amber, said her husband died after a "sudden onset and battle with a mental health issue."
The Mostyns were major Democratic donors, giving $5.2 million to PACs supporting then-President Obama and Democrats in Congress in 2012. They contributed nearly $10 million to state races in Texas in 2014. During the 2016 election, they also gifted nearly $3.5 million to candidates for federal offices.
In 2016, Mostyn, founder of Mostyn Law in Houston, which focused on hurricane and hailstorm lawsuits, also contributed two separate donations of $1 million each to the pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC Priorities USA Action, the Times reported. Clinton allies ran Priorities USA Action and spent more than $126 million on political ads attacking then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Clinton campaign top lawyer Marc Elias, who is chairman of Perkins Coie's Political Law practice, is now on the board of Priorities USA Action. Elias reportedly hired private research firm Fusion GPS to investigate Trump. Fusion GPS compiled the so-called Trump dossier.
In 2015, the government watchdog Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, or FACT, urged the Federal Election Commission to investigate possibly illegal coordination between the Clinton campaign and Mostyn's Ready for Hillary PAC. According to a report by the Daily Caller, FACT asked the commission to determine whether the campaign illegally accessed an email list of 4 million names from the super PAC.
"FACT asserts that the list swap should be considered an in-kind donation – which would constitute illegal coordination between the campaign and PAC," the Daily Caller reported at the time.

This consultation ran from
Consultation description
In 2011, Professor Hargreaves highlighted the need to focus on designs in the UK. Intellectual property law needed to adapt to our changing world, particularly to reflect digital developments.
The government has consulted with the design community. You shared your views on what would make the system better for registered designs. Making sure it meets the needs of the designers now and in the future in the UK.
The government is developing a new digital service for design customers. This will streamline the registration and renewal process and make it easier for businesses to use.
The introduction of the new online registration will lead to a reduction in our costs. The government needs to pass on these cost savings to our customers.

After a couple of people (whose opinions I greatly respect @fidalgo_vapes @LordVapor) mentioned it to me I decided to get off my ass and build me a flavour fridge. The actual fridge was a bargain it cost me 200ml of juice from a mate.
I built an insert out of black perspex (they didnt have 4.5mm clear in stock it was a bit of a mission because who would have thought the inside of a fridge wasn't square it tapered to the back.
4 sets of drawer runners and a bit of cutting, riveting and gluing later I had a working flavour fridge.
I came out pretty good I think. I made it so I could fit 2 more drawers in if required the tray (I did a cut and shut on a couple of the display stands) in each drawer is removable for cleaning resorting etc.
I have 4oz and Real Flavors VG in the door and RF SC on the top drawer (I so wanted to say shelf lol) the bottom crisper bin is where I store doubles (sometimes I buy a couple of the same flavour if they dont have bigger bottles)
There is a little room to grow but not much (I still have to do a flavour cull)
Here are a few pictures
The frame for the tray
Frame and the tray
All done (i should have cleaned up a bit lol)
Hope that gives you some ideas if you ever decide to do something similar.
the snom man, i love it. i have a mini fridge and have a ton of room left lol. gotta start somewhere I guess. only been at diy a little while now and love it. so glad i found elr its great..
that is awesome, way to make it fit your bottles , btw ty for the compliment you really took it to another level and you could store your nic and pg in the freezer above
It look really good bro, well done.
Holy shiz.. that's alot of juice. Wow NICE!!
jealous of all those RF SC bottles.
That's a thing of beauty!
I feel like going on a pilgrimage to this shrine of yours
That is AWESOME @woftam. Very well done!
I'll come with! Road trip!!
I got a picture of Thelma and Louise in my head now and i can't shake it.Theres gonna be so much crazy stuff done on that road trip. You guys need a photographer to document everything?
Damn right!
Not so sure you could handle what you would see…
All i can say to that is what happens on a road trip stay on a road trip and it isn't my first rodeo if you get my drift... I've seen crazy before and i'm sure i will see crazy again
Ok ok, you can come.
Woohooo Road Trip
Leave the camera at home
No frigging way, we need to share this with the ELR family for sure, i mean if they haven't seen crazy before it's time for them to see it now.
Hey hey hey, you just said 'what happens on a road trip...' These poor souls here, they'll probably have a heart attack and we will be banned for all eternity

I have been using the (prebuilt) H.264 encoder and H.264 multiplexor from the 2012 SDK in a DirectShow graph which has worked fine on Win7 and Win8. I'm now attempting to upgrade to the 2013 SDK and find that the graph fails to encode video after a few frames on Win7 but seems to work fine on Win8. I am certain that nothing else has changed other than installing Media SDK 2013. Before diving deeply into the possible causes, I have a few questions:
- Should the 2013 SDK install cleanly over the 2012 SDK? Is an uninstall of the 2012 SDK required? Are any registry values potentally left behind which might adversely affect the 2013 components?
- My app is written in C# and uses the C# implementation of IConfigureVideoEncoder from this post: http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/311827 . Is an updated definition of Params required for the 2013 SDK (i.e. did the binary interface change in 2013 for IConfigureVideoEncoder.SetParams() and hence my program will require a recompile?)
- I'm using the PRESET_BALANCED preset, and changing nothing else from the defaults except p.frame_control.width and p.frame_control.height. Any known problems here?
Thanks, Jay

Ideologies of sustainable development, sustainable tourism and eco-tourism. "Development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Gro Harlem Brundtland (1987).

"Development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Gro Harlem Brundtland (1987)
"Sustainable tourism is a 'positive approach intended to reduce the tension and frictions created by the complex interactions between the tourist industry, visitors, the environment and communities which are host to holidaymakers."
Bramwell et al 1996; Butler 1990; Wheeller 1991
"Eco-tourism is responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people."
The Ecotourism Society 1991
"Eco-tourism is travel to fragile, pristine and usually protected areas to be low and (usually) small scale. It helps educate the traveler; provides funds for conservation; directly benefits the economic development and political empowerment of local communities; and fosters respect for different cultures and for human rights."
Martha Honey
"…the environment, which, if not adequately safeguarded, will compromise…tourism. Tourists, present and future, will be denied the opportunity of visiting and experiencing environments different to those at home."
"A completely sustainable outcome is likely to remain more of an ideal than reality."
The Win-Win Scenario
"…sustainable eco-tourism development might be defined by the people themselves; they need to be both architects and engineers of the concept.
"Tourism is the new world religion."
"Tourism is in essence a fashion industry."
The 'product cycle', adapted from Butler's original formulation (1980).
The 'pleasure periphery' extends…
Doxey's index of tourist irritation model
"…the ultimate protectors [of eco-systems] must be the local human communities…"
"The first step towards [preservation of eco-systems] is education."
"A crucial issue for eco-tourism is to control any development within the adaptation thresholds of the local environment."
Shaw and Williams
"Tourism and environment is fundamental, with a strong element of mutual dependency."
"In essence there are two broad considerations that help unravel the complexities of tourism-environmental impacts, these being: the type of tourism; and the characteristics of the environment."
Sustainable tourism versus mass tourist is:
Knowles, Diamantis & El-Mourhabi (pg. 125)
"Mass tourism need not be uncontrolled, unplanned, short-term, or unstable."
"It has yet to be proven that all examples of mass tourism are unsustainable" and that such unproven assumptions "have led researchers away from the difficult but much more important task of resolving how mass tourism can be made more sustainable."
Butler 1992

Skip to comments.Finally: Gadhafi Asking NYC, London PR Firms For Help
Posted on 07/31/2011 11:01:05 AM PDT by Jet Jaguar
Sure, the economy is hurting so a job's a job... but will any public relations firms agree to take on Moammer Gadhafi and the Libyan government as a client? The NY Post reports, "The Libyan strongman...is looking to hire a New York public-relations rep to scrub his homicidal image, asking for help to counter the fallout of a civil war that threatens to topple his brutal regime." Some of the duties would include "head[ing] daily press briefings and spread[ing] the good word on the tyrant's 'moral' and 'legal' claims to power -- all while rebel forces battle to end Khadafy's 42 years of terror." Wow, we can see the Happy Friday email pitches now!
A government official in Tripoli, Ali Darwish, contacted PR agencies in New York and London, asking for someone to "present our just and fair case to the world... We have good moral, political and legal logic supporting our position as the legitimate, sovereign and popular government of Libya. We also have proofs [sic] in written, audio and video forms to take our case forward... Libya has been under an unjustified media and p.r. attack which led to NATO's military involvement." Gadhafi's own personal efforts in getting his country's message out has included calling the allies the "new Nazis" and "crazed fascists" and deeming protesters "cockroaches."
Public relations firm owner Ronn Torossian tells the Post, "I highly doubt any p.r. firm will positively respond to this request." Yeah, trying to explain why the Lockerbie bomber is free and still kicking is kind of a pain to deal with.
Hire a PR firm or just register as a Democrat.
If only Naomi Wolf could get him into a nice earth-toned suit.....
The man's seen on a video raising money and support for Obama's 2008 campaign, what else more could he have done?
That's the ticket,
a public relations problem.
Nothing to do with him being a murdering loon now does it?
Moammer Gadhafi has just had bad press.
What, the British royals were busy?
Well, a few months ago, some ad agency made some "humorous" commercials about blowing up people's heads if they wouldn't toe the envirowhacko line, starting with the murder of a small child in a classroom. Given that, I somehow don't think Qaddafi is going to find it all that difficult to hire a PR firm.

David Robbins: The missing years, spent with Poirot on a Nile riverboat
I would hear the door creak open first. Then there was the heavy padding across the landing. This would be followed by snatches from 'Some Enchanted Evening' or 'Strangers in Paradise'. My father was up and about.
The smell was of talcum powder, shaving soap and Brylcreem, for my dad grew up before the age of the day spa, exfoliation and the modern mantra of "cleanse, tone and moisturise".
I would sneak into my parents room and wait for him. I wanted to have a chat, and to see what he was reading. His night-stand was like a time-capsule of his life: a pair of specs, a set of dentures, Andrew's Liver Salts if it had been a hard one the night before, and a detective book.

Carissa from Carissa Miss updated this table with Vanilla Frosting to modernize Heidi's dining room space. We love the new clean, fresh look!
One of my favorite parts about being a designer is seeing the projects through until the end. Heidi contacted me about helping her re-finish her ancient dining table. She just moved into a brand new house and the old table wasn't doing the room justice.
Heidi's table looked like it was wanting to be mid-century modern, but didn't quite make it. I thought the two-toned white/wood would be a nod to the table's roots.
I like to think I made the decision for the table and it's not in that in-between stage anymore. It's decidedly traditional!
I painted it with my Home Right Finish Max Pro in Country Chic's Vanilla Frosting, roughed up the edges and gave it a polyurethane top coat.
I think this is my first distressed project I've yet to do with the chalk-based paint! Just goes to show how versatile and transitional this paint is.
Those puke-pink chairs just weren't doing it for me and I couldn't wait to re-upholster them.
Navy is definitely my go-to color right now and I knew it would look great it on these chairs in THIS print.
Upholstering them was a cinch--we were able to bust them out in less than an hour! The 18-Volt ONE+ AirStrike 18GA Cordless Narrow Crown Stapler is the bom.dot.com. Seriously though, I love that I get a professional job done without the bulk of the air compressor. No, really. I upholstered 2 valences and these 4 chairs this weekend all on ONE battery charge. And my DIY Upholstered Bed? Yep. All on one battery charge too!
The best part? This little makeover cost about $20 for the fabric to recover the chairs.
Soooo doable. Please, don't live with those less-than-stellar cushions anymore. For $5 a chair it is in EVERYONE'S budget. And just because I love that white on wood...
I'm Carissa from Carissa Miss. I love all things DIY, especially trying to make my own versions of pricey designer items. Like my DIY farmhouse table, this Ikea RAST hack, or these vertical stripe curtains. I love working with e-design clients to transform a space from blah to wow! Here's a gallery of some of the inspiration boards I've created.
Make sure to follow Carissa on her blog Carissa Miss, as well as on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram!

LoL matchmaking is so bad...
I'm playing in a 4 man premade and we always seem to get the worst 5th players ever. Take this Renekton. He was never in a team fight, ran away from at least 6 ganks that were so easy it wasn't even funny and somehow he gets placed with a 4 man premade that has a history of doing relatively well. In other games, I often find one team wins almost from the start. The other team gets so badly outplayed, regardless of whether the match goes beyond 20 minutes, there is no way they could win. Normal games are especially bad.

|A tribological assessment of the porous coated anatomic total hip replacement

The tribological performance of internal joint prostheses is a fundamental influence on their longevity. The aim of this study is to characterise the tribological performance of the Porous Coated Anatomic total hip replacement by the analysis of 119 explanted prostheses. Investigations of the friction, wear, surface topography and wear debris were made and related to the joint's clinical performance. The friction of the joints at explant was similar to that of new prostheses. The median total wear volume (419mm(^3)) was found to agree with previous wear studies suggesting the existence of a threshold wear volume which promotes osteolysis. Clinical wear factor for the whole cohort matched that of alternative joint designs. The femoral head finish was shown to degrade but not in proportion to implant duration. The roughness of the UHMWPE liner was shown to fall but no relationship with any head roughness, or temporal, parameter could be distinguished. Simulator studies confirmed that the wear factor of a joint is likely to change over its lifespan. Wear models published previously describing the influence of femoral head roughness on wear could not predict the performance of explanted prostheses. An alternative relationship was observed indicating that head roughness is not as powerful a predictor of wear as previously held. A novel technique for the characterisation of the size distribution of ex vivo and in vitro wear debris was developed. A Low-Angle Laser Light Scattering Particle Analyser was used to size particles continuously over a range from 0.5 to 1000μm. This technique offers considerable unprovement over existing microscope-based methods in terms of the detail of the information and does so with less experimental effort. It was shown to be highly accurate and repeatable in preliminary investigations. Case studies of five tissue samples revealed the potential of this method.

text: Hi. If you're on a tight un-stretchable budget, go for it. With the discounts you'll surely get, it'll be a steal: just for that design classic-ism, build, safety, ride-handling, reliable efficient engine etc. But, really: are you sure you want/need a three-box car? The Evo or Avventura have decent space, decent-sized luggage space too, and tons of 'presence'. You could look at a Tata Zest,as well? With the Fiat diesel. regards

Hello Kathleen:Thank you for answering my post and the information you sent my way, I appreciate it.
Here's another question if you are able to help me out once again.
On my relatives death cert. it states she was buried in Coquitlam Cemetery - District Lot # - Robinson Street.
Would I assume that the actual name of the cemetery would be "Port" Coquitlam Cemetery?
Thanks so much.

I can't see a doctor in Sweden to confirm my pregnancy! I need someone to talk to :(

I'm Katt 24, from England, UK, but live in Sweden with a Swedish husband. First time mom to be!
RANT [I'm completely lost here in Sweden, their medical practice seems totally backwards to me in my opinion. I have meds that I take for my panic attacks and anxiety as well as IBS. The only difference now is I can't get my meds any more because one doesn't exist here in Sweden for my IBS and the other, well I can't be bothered and as I'm pregnant I guess it's safer to not take any meds, BUT I WOULDN'T KNOW!
Here in Sweden you only go to a midwife when you find out you're pregnant. I've been REALLY lucky and got an appointment for next week when they first said it could be 6 weeks time! They really don't bother or care to check on you in the first trimester as so much can go wrong anyway right? Useless!
They say the only real confirmation you get is with the pregnancy test you do at home. They don't check your HGC levels to see if the embryo is developing as it should - so no warnings or being prepared if the worst should happen. Nothing.]RANT OVER
-- I am to have a blood pressure check and test for possible diabetes at my first midwife appointment next week. I have to answer questions on whether I smoke or drink excessively which I abstain from both completely due to lifestyle and they will have me fill in a form to see if I'm depressed. That's it. Who knows when I will be back for any kind of "check up". I was told by my mother in law you get an ultrasound at around 12 weeks to check for Downs Syndrome if you want to otherwise the only scan you get is at 18 weeks.
My question is I have no idea when I conceived as I've had some crazy periods during and after I stopped taking Cerazette for 1.5 months up until July 11th. I could be 6 weeks pregnant if I count from the first day that I last bled... which was for 4 days and bright bright red, but not heavy at all. My husband and I have a lot of sex, pretty much everyday since July 13th (our wedding day), skipping a few days here and there. CBD said I was 3+ when I tested this weekend Sept 21st.
I don't know where to get proper professional advice about medication do's and don't's etc. as you don't see a doctor here for pregnancy at all and the midwife doesn't tell you much either. You are supposed to look online for information - no joke!
So here goes, where's the best advice?

TAMPA, Fla. -- These uncertain days for the NFL Players Association were underlined Thursday by the fact it has no executive director and the team owners are opting out of the collective bargaining agreement.
In the union's first news conference since leader Gene Upshaw died in August, there was more posturing than news. But NFLPA president Kevin Mawae and acting executive director Richard Berthelsen insisted the process for finding Upshaw's replacement is progressing on schedule and that the league's cutting off the CBA after the 2010 season made little sense.
"What Gene would have wanted most was for us to carry on with the business of the union," said Berthelsen, the players' longtime counsel, who is not one of five finalists to replace Upshaw. "Our mission is to not only retain the partnership we have with NFL owners but improve on it.
"We have seen unprecedented labor peace in our sport and unprecedented prosperity together with the owners. We think have a pretty good thing going," he said.
A thing that will end after an uncapped 2010 season if the two sides don't negotiate a new CBA. So Berthelsen presented evidence the union believes confirms just how prosperous the 32 teams are.
A union-commissioned study showed the average value of the teams has grown from $288 million to $1.04 billion over 10 years, an increase of about 14 percent a year. Berthelsen said the average gain in the last year alone was $82.6 million, and he defied anyone to find an industry "with similar numbers in this economy."
Noting that 95 percent of the Miami Dolphins sold for $1.1 billion earlier this month -- "pretty amazing," he said -- Berthelsen added that the average profit was $24.7 million in the last year. That would make for $107 million in average annual return, "a very good return for anybody in any economy."
With those numbers, the union questions why the owners would be dissatisfied with the CBA -- let alone venture toward the elimination of a salary cap. Mawae said the cap has worked well for all concerned but that the players won't ever accept again if it disappears in 2010.
Many NFL owners, however, believe the current agreement is too favorable for the players, who get about 60 percent of applicable revenues. Some owners whose franchises can't compete with the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins and other richer teams for outside revenues (naming rights, sponsorship deals, ancillary income) are aggressively seeking relief, and it only took nine negative votes last year to opt out of the CBA.
Berthelsen said the salary cap for 2009 will be $123 million, up from $116 million. The minimum salary for a 10-year veteran will be $845,000, while the rookie minimum will be $310,000.
The five finalists to replace Upshaw, as reported last week by The Associated Press, are former NFLPA presidents Troy Vincent and Trace Armstrong; former Bears tackle Jim Covert; Ben Utt, who played for Baltimore and Indianapolis; and Washington-based attorney DeMaurice Smith.
Mawae said three candidates will be presented to the union's executive board at its annual meeting in Hawaii in March. An election is scheduled to follow, and serious negotiating with the league won't take place before then.

heck yeah, 1 weeeeeeek to go!!!!
Machine Politics vs L'Équipe, August 2010. Photo by Steph Simcox
The Australasian Championships is the largest and most significant hardcourt bike polo tournament in our region, attracting the best players from around Australia, New Zealand, and guests from Southeast Asia, Japan, USA and Europe. Sydney will be hosting the 2014 Australasian Championships (AHBPC 2014) in March. This will be the sixth time the event has been held and the first time Sydney will be hosting it. This event is the recognised method for our region to qualify for WHBPC14.
The tournament will begin on the morning of Friday the 28th of March and finish at sundown on Sunday the 30th March. The grand final will be played at 5pm Sunday evening.
We recommend coming a day or two early as we've got a few extra events planned in the lead up. Court building will begin from Wednesday morning until Thursday afternoon with food and drinks provided for those helping out as well as preferential accommodation for the inter-state travelers that can assist.
Wednesday 26th March 2014
9am-6pm – Court construction

Monday 31st March
9am-6pm : Court deconstruction and recovery breakfast/brunch/lunch/afternoon tea
After courts are down, pickup at pick-up court @ Alexandria Park court
Please Note: Anyone can register and your team can consist of players from outside Australia and New Zealand. However, to qualify for the World Championships 2014 your team must have at least 2 players that are considered to be from this region. That is, they currently live, have lived or will be living in the region up until WHBPC 2014.
Tempe Recreation Reserve in the suburb of Tempe, Sydney.
Next to a separated bike path. Riding times below:
Sydney Airport Terminal: 15 mins (3.8kms)
Alexandria Park, our pickup court: 23 mins (6.2kms)
Newtown, hub of our club for food, drinks, homes and backpackers: 15minutes (5kms)
Tempe train station: 5 mins (1.2kms)
Three full sized courts that are 35m long and 20m wide. Surface is relatively smooth, not too far off courts in Timaru. All courts will have 1.2m plywood lining. Standard pallet construction similar to that of Worlds in Geneva, EHBPC and Champs in Timaru. Map search for "LOT 7022 Holbeach Ave, Tempe NSW 2044".
Public toilets
BBQ's with gazebos next to courts
Bike tools and stands on site for mechanical assistance
Food supplied during court construction and deconstruction. Food trucks will be present for the three days of the tournament
Supermarket & Bottleshop 10 minute ride away
A sports club and a pub within 5 minutes
Number of teams is set at 40.
1st day: Random seeding into two equal numbered groups. Swiss Rounds used to achieve a rank (4 rounds)
2nd day: Rankings from first day used to seed teams into two separate groups. Points reset. Swiss rounds to achieve final ranking (4 rounds).
3rd day: Top 32 teams taken from final rankings after second day (top 16 of each group). Double Elimination format to determine the champions.
The current AHBPA rules will be used at AHBPC 2014. These are the rules that have been in place prior to Timaru. Visit the Sydney Bike Polo website for the link.
If you wish to stay near the courts, there are a number of hotels available as it is very close to the Airport. Hotels in Tempe or that advertise as being at the Airport will be within 10 minutes riding.
The pre and after parties, as well as the after game dinner locations we're organizing will be located around our pick-up court in Alexandria, Newtown, Redfern, Enmore and Erskinville. There is a separated bike lane from our pickup court that goes all the way to the AHBPC location and it takes 25 minutes to ride on a polo bike. Most of our players are located within these suburbs.
If you find a place and would like a second opinion, please comment below or email us at email@example.com

Device Object Example for a USB Mass Storage Device
The following figure shows the device objects that are created for a composite USB mass storage device containing both a Smart Media slot and a Compact Flash slot.
Device Object Tree for a Composite USB Mass Storage Device
Starting from the bottom of the figure, the following list describes each device object or device object stack and its associated driver:
The PCI bus driver enumerates the USB host controller. The system loads the port driver, usbport.sys, and its accompanying miniports (not shown in the figure). Then, usbport.sys creates an FDO for the host controller.
The port driver enumerates the USB hubs in the system, starting with the root hub. The usbhub.sys driver manages all USB hubs. The figure only shows one level of hub device objects, but USB allows daisy-chaining of hub devices, so there could potentially be many more hub device objects in the tree. The hub driver detects and enumerates the USB mass storage device and creates a PDO for it.
Windows supplies a USB storage port driver, usbstor.sys, that serves as an interface between the USB stack and the native Windows storage class drivers. The USB storage port driver creates its own functional device object (FDO). The USB storage port driver can divide the physical storage device into as many as 16 logical units. In the example depicted in the figure, the USB storage device contains separate slots for a Compact Flash device and a Smart Media device. Therefore, in this example, the USB storage port driver creates two separate PDOs, one for the Compact Flash device and another for the Smart Media device.
The stack above the USB storage port driver is managed in the usual way by the native disk class driver. The disk class driver creates a PDO and an FDO for the disk as a whole (partition zero), and PDOs for each partition on the disk.
The partition manager creates an FDO for each disk partition.

A handmade frame with traditional styling and closed corners, the Blick Museo wood frame features a ribbed molding with a scoop liner.
Note — Hanging hardware not included.
Frame Depth — The depth of a frame refers to the depth of the frame's rabbet (the cut-out area behind the frame's molding that holds your artwork in place). To find a frame that will accommodate your artwork, measure the depth of the artwork, including any matting or mounting materials, and order a frame with a depth that is, at a minimum, the same as that measured depth.
Frame Dimensions — Frames are sized by the opening, not by the outside of the molding. To determine the size of frame to order, measure the outside of your artwork, including mat, and order that size frame. The frame will overlap your artwork ¼" all the way around, so your artwork will fit nicely behind the frame's molding.
Open Back Frames — These frames are meant to be hung on the wall and are sold as just the frame face. They are not shipped with backing material, glazing material, or hanging hardware. The open back frames are commonly used for traditional profile stretched canvases.

Love these frames.
By Angel
from Saratoga Springs, NY
I am using them for my oil paintings and love how they enhance the art.
I am Fussy!
By Sally
from Albany, NY
I am very fussy about my frames. As a matter of fact, I was desperate for one for an upcoming exhibit. Because you sent me a catalog recently, I just happened to breeze through it and there I saw that you had frames for sale. I was surprised; never thought! Thank you for making the exhibit complete.

Good for the price
By Peter
from Arizona
I buy a lot of the black with black crackle and if you're looking for a dark frame, this is a good choice. It's about 25% less expensive than the Concerto frame. I wouldn't go larger than 16x20 with the Museo as it gets a little weak width-wise even at that size. A better choice at 16x20 and definitely at 18x24 is the Concerto, which can handle that size but probably not much more.
Nice frame reasonable price
By Madavisart
from Indpls
Only negative is a small rabit
Nice solid and beautiful frame.
By Nuchee
from Worcester, MA
Works well with most oil paintings of similar colors.
Plain but elegant looking frame. Good for plein air.
By Ralph
from Walnut, CA
I bought the 16x20 gold. The gold looks really nice, though it may not be the gold leaf. The less than 3" edges seem to be a bit narrow compare to the size of my frame, but is OK. The molding is quite simple, but more than enough for framing plein air painting.
This is my second purchase of the Pewter Museo Frame
By Cathy Painter
from Kimberton,PA
Love this pewter color - less formal than gold of plein air frames, but warmer than silver. Fits a gesso board nicely. The rabbit is smaller than the depth of a 3/4 canvas.
Nice and Fancy - But Not Too Fancy
By Keystoneart
from Abilene, Texas
This is a great frame for showing off a painting you want to dress up or that requires a little more spiff to your presentation.
I will buy this frame again.
By Daylily
from Kathleen, GA
This is a beautifuI frame I purchased for a painting I did. I would definitely recommend it. They have a good selection of frames to purchase from.

National Geographic Expeditions and G Adventures have announced the release of the new 2018 National Geographic Journeys line-up, featuring 83 tours. New destinations include Borneo and Mongolia, in addition to wildlife parks in Tanzania and Botswana.
National Geographic Journeys' African safaris now include lesser-known parks of southern Tanzania, where travellers can hear expert guides discuss wildlife conservation in areas such as Ruaha National Park and Selous Game Reserve.
"These tours combine travelling for fun with travelling for good, and they have a strong appeal as travellers become increasingly conscious about the impact of their vacation decisions," said Nancy Schumacher, head of travel and tour operations and National Geographic.
"We've collaborated closely with G Adventures to design enhanced hands-on experiences and capture National Geographic's long history of exploration and discovery. When travellers go on our trips, they help support the work of our explorers and scientists, as a portion of our proceeds go directly to the nonprofit Geographic Society."
Experiences included in the expeditions include the chance to spend time with a nomadic family in Mongolia's Gobi Desert and try traditional archery, as well as meet with Buddhist monks and yak farmers and learn from park rangers about efforts to reintroduce native Takhi horses to the wild.
New tours for 2018 include:
- Best of Borneo (12 days, from $4,599)
- Discover Mongolia (14 days, from $5,599)
- Southern Tanzania Safari (six days, from $4,499)
- Botswana & Zimbabwe Safari (10 days, from $6,499)
"Travel agents and customers alike have been so enthusiastic about our National Geographic Journeys trips this past year, using words like 'amazing,' 'organized,' 'knowledgeable,' and 'fun' to describe their adventures," said Bruce Poon Tip, founder, G Adventures.
"That positive feedback, along with encouraging growth in our sales, are what inspired us to expand our offerings to these new destinations. We cannot wait to introduce travellers to even more life-changing experiences together in 2018."
