What sort of rights are entailed in the ownership of private property? The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that "private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation"; this has been read to imply that the government may take private property if it provides "just compensation." This provision has been used by the government to compel citizens to sell their property in order to clear space to build public roads, parks, or even commercial spaces. But these public benefits come at a cost and, now, those who have lost land or the physical or economic use of their land are fighting back. This debate is explored in Private Property Rights, an objective guide that will enhance readers' understanding of this pivotal issue.

To the Editor: To my mind, the best memorials have the ability to represent the enormity of a loss, breaking it down into its component parts: the actual people. Maya Lin's Vietnam memorial is a great example of this. When I first came upon it, it was as though I'd had the breath kicked out of...

@3 - Well it's WoW Insider, so I imagine the content will be varied, and detailed. Expect some varied viewpoints. We've got 8 or so hosts signed up for the rotation, with varying degrees of raid experience, but every single one of them has been playing the game since launch, has raided, has 70s, and knows what they're doing. I think sometimes podcasters forget that they need to know a hell of a lot about the game for people to give their views any credence. Fortunately I can't really see WoW Insider and WoW Radio having that problem :)

Along with my colleagues at the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine, and more importantly the Palestinian CampaIgn for an Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, I applaud the courageous and principled vote by Natfhe at its conference yesterday inviting its members to consider their own responsibility for ensuring equity and non-discrimination in contacts with Israeli educational institutions or individuals, and to consider the appropriateness of a boycott of those that do not publicly dissociate themselves from Israel's apartheid policies.
We recognise that this has not been an easy decision faced with the extreme pressure put upon the union by outside forces, including the Israeli government and the organised Israel lobby. The vote is a historic step forward both in expressing our solidarity with our Palestinian academic colleagues and also in helping persuade our Israeli academic colleagues that it is time to cease silent complicity with the illegal acts of the Israeli state but to stand up for peace and justice in both Israel and Palestine.
It is also a firm rebuke to those who think that abusive emails and slanderous assertions can substitute for reasoned argument about a contentious political and moral question. And if any of the commentators on earlier discussion of the boycott issue on this blog who work in academic institutions want to organise a debate on the case for boycott, they are welcome to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I used it for three weeks and saw a good increase in strength, libido, and size. However, i did notice a mild increase in estrogen along with the test increase. Might wanna look into an OTC AI IMO.
Alright guys I've been getting some pms about this and wanted to get some feedback. I've used TCF-1 off cycle (most other DAA products were during PCT or on-cycle) and have noticed a decent affect from it in terms of both libido and pumps.
I've seen a lot of guys who have used DAA for PCT, but I'd like a bit of feedback on guys who have used it off-cycle/not on PCT. Thanks for any help guys.

I have used DAA twice. First time was with the asteroid stack (USP labs) and the second time during a havoc pulse.
Cant really comment on the effectiveness of those situation because there were other factors involved but what I can say is if you use DAA it stacks nicely with powerfull or something to help combat the possible raised prolactin levels

the only DAA i have taken is Lit Up. Its a pre workout but it contains DAA. I am stacking it with IGF 2 and Free Test and I am loving it. no sides, just awesome workouts and gains
I think its a great idea...run some ResV as a natural estrogen blocker.
Have used standalone...My L.I.T. UP log was after PCT and many of my gains continued...
I used Nutras Bulk Powder a bunch of times. Didn't stack it with anything else. Worked great at improving libido and strength in the gym. Best natural product I have used for a test boost. Beats the hell out of prop blend test boosters!.
I have had nothing but outstanding results from DAA, and it remains the best test-boosting ingredient I have ever used.

The above is my own opinion and does not reflect the opinion of PES
I was dosing 3 grams a day. You can go up to six though. 3 grams in the morning and 3 in the evening.

( at heart )
I'm running SNS DAA, Titanium, and Erase. 2 1/2 weeks in and strength and libido are off the charts. I've tried many test boosters, but this is hands down the best stack to date.
DAA gives me such an alpha feeling in the gym, and outside of it...just makes me feel good. I should have 150g of it arriving today.
The last time I ran it, I mixed bulk DAA with a tub of testforce, figured I'd cover my bases.

Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN A Lens Review - Gary Wolstenholme reviews the new compact Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN lens for Micro Four Thirds and NEX systems.
Sigma 30mm Micro Four Thirds Lens
This 30mm lens is currently available to fit both Micro Four Thirds and Sony NEX cameras and costs around £170. It sports a bright f/2.8 aperture and a newly developed linear focus motor.
On Micro Four Thirds bodies, this lens provides an angle of view equivalent to a 60mm lens on a 35mm camera. There isn't a current direct equivalent to this lens available for Micro Four Thirds with this lens plugging the gap between 25mm and 45mm lenses in the range.
On Sony NEX cameras, this lens provides a moderate wide angle view equivalent to a 45mm lens used on a 35mm camera. Sony's 30mm f/3.5 Macro lens is the current closest equivalent. This lens costs around £190 and although the maximum aperture is a little slower it provides extra close focusing and life size magnification.
Sigma 30mm Micro Four Thirds Lens Front
Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN Handling and Features
Metal has been used for the lens mount and high quality plastics with a matte finish have been used for the lens barrel construction. Weighing only 130g, this lens is the perfect companion to smaller camera bodies, just like the Panasonic Lumix GF3 used for testing.As focusing is performed internally the 46mm filter thread does not rotate during use and the lens does not extend, making this lens ideal for use with graduated and polarising filters. Focus speeds are quick and the wide manual focus ring offers just enough resistance to make applying fine adjustments trouble-free. the linear focusing system employed does not hold the focusing group in place there is no power to the lens, so a disconcerting rattle can be heard when the lens is tilted, either off the camera, or with the lens removed. This is perfectly normal for the type of focusing system used.
An updated version of this lens, the Sigma 30mm f/2.8 DN A (Art) version is now available, with the same optical performance as the original, however it is now available in black, shown above), or silver versions.
The minimum focus distance of 30cm is great for shooting in claustrophobic environments and for taking close up images. 1:8.1 is the maximum magnification possible, which is a fair way off what could be considered macro, but is fairly typical for a lens of this type.
Sigma 30mm Micro Four Thirds Lens Rear
Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN Performance
At maximum aperture, sharpness is already outstanding in the centre of the image, and very good towards the edges. Stopping down the lens improves sharpness across the frame as far as f/5.6, where the clarity is outstanding across the frame.
Sigma 30mm DN MTF |
How to read our chartsThe blue column represents readings from the centre of the picture frame at the various apertures and the green is from the edges. Averaging them out gives the red weighted column.The scale on the left side is an indication of actual image resolution. The taller the column, the better the lens performance. Simple. For this review, the lens was tested on a Panasonic Lumix GF3 using Imatest. |
Chromatic aberrations are kept low at all aperture, peaking at just over 0.75 pixel widths at f/16 and f/22. This low level should pose few issues, even with large prints and harsh crops from near the edges of the frame.
Sigma 30mm DN CA |
How to read our chartsChromatic aberration is the lens' inability to focus on the sensor or film all colours of visible light at the same point. Severe chromatic aberration gives a noticeable fringing or a halo effect around sharp edges within the picture. It can be cured in software.Apochromatic lenses have special lens elements (aspheric, extra-low dispersion etc) to minimize the problem, hence they usually cost more. For this review, the lens was tested on a Panasonic Lumix GF3 using Imatest. |
Falloff of illumination towards the corners of the frame is well controlled. At f/2.8 the corners are only 0.9 stops darker than the image centre and visually uniform illumination is achieved by f/5.6. Mild barrel distortion of 0.821% is present, which shouldn't pose issues in normal shooting. If absolutely straight lines are required, the distortion is quite simple to correct as it is uniform across the frame.

Sharpness is outstanding across the frame when stopped down a little | 1/500 sec | f/6.3 | 30.0 mm | ISO 160 | At f/2.8 sharpness is already very good in the centre | 1/2000 sec | f/2.8 | 30.0 mm | ISO 160 |
A circular hood is provided and the lens is quite resistant to flare | 1/400 sec | f/8.0 | 30.0 mm | ISO 160 | 30mm on a MFT body provides an angle of view equivalent to a 60mm lens on a 35mm camera | 1/250 sec | f/8.0 | 30.0 mm | ISO 160 |

1/160 sec | f/8.0 | 30.0 mm | ISO 160 | 1/400 sec | f/5.6 | 30.0 mm | ISO 160 |
A lens hood is not supplied with the original version, but is provided with the new DN A (Art) version), although this lens proved itself pretty resistant to flare in testing. When shooting into the light, some flare may appear, but only in extreme circumstances.
Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN Verdict
During testing this lens proved itself capable of producing excellent results, even at maximum aperture. The light weight, fast autofocus and excellent build should win this lens many fans, especially with the price being so competitive.The Sigma 30mm f/2.8 EX DN is an excellent lens offered at an extremely competitive price. |

Simple observers and notifiers for your code.
The library aims to provide the simplest implementation possible. You get beacons, which are always global and can be "lit up". Whenever you light a beacon up, everyone watching will act as instructed.
How to use this?
Whenever you want to fire an event from your code, call Beacon.fire:
def do_something
# do your thing
In order to register listeners for that event, call Beacon.watch:
Beacon.watch :before_doing_something do
logger.info "I'm about to do something"
Each time you call watch with a given name, you register a different handler for that name. Each time you call fire all handlers for that event are run, in the order they were registered.
You can use on as an alias of watch, and trigger as an alias of fire, since those seem to be popular choices among event observing libraries.
Passing arguments
If you want to pass arguments to the watchers, just pass them along in Beacon.fire:
Beacon.fire(:an_event, "cuack", 3)
And you'll get them as arguments on the block that handles the message:
Beacon.watch :an_event do |object, index|
# here object == "cuack", index == 3
Advanced handlers
Instead of blocks, Beacon.watch can receive any object that responds to call, so if you need any advanced logic in your handlers, you can declare them like this:
class MyHandler
def call(foo, =0)
puts foo.inspect,
Beacon.watch :an_event, MyHandler.new
Isolated events
You can include Beacon into your objects to have isolated events on a per-object basis if you need that:
class MyObservable
include Beacon
obj = MyObservable.new
obj.watch(:an_event) { |object, *args| puts *args }
obj.trigger(:an_event, "foo")
Installing with rubygems
gem install beacon
Clone our git repo from git://github.com/foca/beacon.git. The preffered way to send a patch is to push to a clone of the repo on github but if you want to mail me a patch or point me to a diff I won't complain. Though I'll probably take more to apply it :)

Damage Assessment of the Annual White Grub, Cyclocephala lurida (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), in Com and Soybean
Author: RICE, MARLIN E.
Source: Journal of Economic Entomology, Volume 87, Number 1, February 1994 , pp. 220-222(3)
Publisher: Entomological Society of America
Relative damage to com and soybean seedlings caused by feeding larvae of Cyclocephala lunda Bland was assessed with plants grown in a greenhouse. Single com or soybean plants were grown for 27 d under three densities of larvae (three, six, or nine per plant) and an uninfested check. Soybean seedling emergence, dry root weights, total dry weights, or leaf areas were not different among any of the treatments. Com seedling emergence, dry root weights, total dry weights, or leaf areas were not different among any larval densities except for 1 yr when nine larvae per plant resulted in smaller plants relative to the uninfested plants. This density, however, is several times larger than any that have been observed under field conditions. Results of this 2-yr study strongly suggest that a soil insecticide would not be necessary to protect seedling com or soybean plants from damage by this insect.Document Type: Research Article

a new breed of fifa
Member Name: ajbluestar
Date: 11/11/11
Advantages: More realistic game with wide range of offline and online game modes
Disadvantages: Hard to get used to new defending system, server problem sometimes for online play
Another year and football season brings another Fifa game. The PS3 version this year on the surface remains pretty much the same as the past few years but there are some quite major changes in terms of how the game is played. Fifa has been crowned king of the football gaming arena for the past few years with the competition from Pro Evolution soccer not really having a big impact on its dominance. Will this continue this year?
The game itself: not many changes to game modes
On the surface the game remains the same. You have all the authenticity of previous versions with the wide range of teams and kits. There are all the same modes from last year with a few new extra online and offline modes. There is also the ultimate team online game mode which comes with the game already installed unlike previous versions. The ultimate team mode harks back to the old days of collecting football stickers or cards as you try to build a top team from scratch and swap and trade to get that team.
The offline modes include the usual which are to play a single exhibition match between any two teams. There is also be a pro mode where you take control of one player and develop them gaining experience. There is also the be a goalkeeper mode like last year's version. There is also the career mode where you can go through a career as a player or manager. You can also play a number of tournaments and cup competitions such as the FA Cup.
There are a range of online modes also which include a new way of playing the game. The new mode is where you play a set of 10 matches which are a season and then if you get above a certain number of points you get promoted to the league above. You start at league 10 and the aim is to get to 1. There is also relegation as well as promotion just like in leagues in real life. As you move through the leagues, the standard of play will obviously be higher. There is also a new challenge mode which aims to recreate recent games happening in real life and you can try to change the result. There are the usual online gaming modes also including ultimate team.
Playing all these game modes gets you xps or experience points and increases the level of your play.
What are the changes?
On the surface there are not many changes which you could notice but there a number of key new features which have been developed and makes the game play totally differently. These include the player impact engine which puts the physicality of playing the game into context with the fight for possession and the ball being incorporated into the game. Pro player intelligence means the ability of some players is illustrated more clearly with top midfield players for example being more able to pick out more difficult passes.
The main difference though is the new tactical defending system which means defending in the game is very different to previous versions. Previously you just pretty much pressed one button to press the opposition and then use the tackle buttons. Now positioning is more important and intercepting passes and tackling at the right moment are the main aim. Tactics and timing are more important than in previous versions. It is quite hard to get used to as it is something quite new but it seems to make the game more realistic. Unless you are playing football at a very amateur level or when you are really young, everyone doesn't always go and chase after the the ball when defending and this is the concept this new feature has. I did find this hard at first and still do but more practice may be required to get used to this new concept. The idea is more into containing the attacking player and not always going in for the tackles. You now have the option of jostling where you can pull on the opposition players shirt or use your player's arm to hold the opposition player back. This adds to the realism in the game also.
Precision dribbling is another new feature which allows better close control of the ball especially with wingers and wide players.
The presentation of the game also seems slicker and more pleasing to the eye. It has a broadcast feel to it with the cut sequences and various player animations. This all adds to the realism also.
This is a top game but at first it is very difficult to get used to the new defending system. This is what has been discussed as a problem for many. It is hard but it is a better game if you can get used to it. There is though the option to go back to the old defending system if you so choose if things are a bit too hard but I believe you have to play with the new system if playing online. I have tried to persevere with it and have been improving so practice may be needed with this. The online game modes are also good but there are some server issues at times which are a slight problem. Overall though this is a top game and seems deserving of 5 stars. I think this is the best football game out there and captures the realism of the game itself really well.
Summary: great game but takes a bit of getting used to

Travel Blogs from Helsinki
Last city before my tour.
... was ******* Indian, it wasn't! Oh well.
So what I'm really looking forward to is the Intrepid trip I start on the 14th, tonight actually. I've just met my room mate for most of the two week trip and her name is Ashley. She seems like a down to earth chick, a bit precious but we should get along fine. I'm just glad she's not old, lame or weird... Well weirder than me. Haha.
See you in ...
Helsinki - where everything works
... clean, train for Helsinki. It proved to be fast (200+ kmh), quiet and comfortable for the 3.5 hour trip. Even the efficient money changer did not rip us off.
First impressions on a drizzly Sunday afternoon were not too exciting. Seemed very uneventful and uninspiring.
But the next day after touring the city ...
We started the day by visiting the rock church, this church is actually built out of rocks! A very unique place, surrounded by rocks all around you and a beautiful rounded roof. We continued to Senate square and the Helsinki Lutheran Cathedral. What a beautiful white church, high on top of the square, as we admired the place, we enjoyed ...
Quiet day before catching the ferry to Finland
... and half concrete....
The hotel now run a tour of the 23rd floor so that's how I spent my afternoon.
Headed off to the port for the 1630 sailing, it's a two hour crossing, boarding was quite quick. I did notice that all the Finnish cars were loaded up with booze, I went to the hotel bar last night and had 3 beers...25 Euros later I now know why!!!
One Really Full Day in Helsinki
... restaurant at 11.45 but the kitchen only opens at 12. Good thing I didn't arrive here any earlier. I ordered the fried herring which costs €16.50. Plus the tip, I paid €18. It was good and filling! I love beetroot!
Of course, due to the flexibility and since I got the transportation map from the tourist information centre, I realised then that bus 24 is just outside the Sea Horse restaurant. How convenient! I took it and went to the ...

Absolutely great eye cream!
This is the best eye cream I have ever tried, and I have tried a lot. It leaves my skin soft and diminishes wrinkles, without feeling heavy.
Moisturize, calm, and treat the sensitive eye area while minimizing signs of aging.

How do solar photovoltaic feed-in tariffs interact with solar panel and silicon prices? An empirical study
Preferential feed-in tariffs (FITs) for solar generated electricity increases the demand for solar photovoltaic systems. They can thus induce price to increase, creating the potential for PV systems producers to collect rents. This paper analyses the interactions between feed-in tariffs, silicon prices and module prices, using weekly price data and FIT values in Germany, Italy, Spain, and France from January 2005 to May 2012. Relying methodologically on the Granger causality tests applied to vector autoregressive models, we show that since the end of the period of silicon shortage in 2009, module price variations cause changes in FITs, and not the reverse. This is good news as it suggests that the regulators have been able to prevent FITs to inflate module prices.Download Info

I noticed that Amana is listed as having no energy holdings although Nobel is listed in its top 25 holdings. The quick blurb for Pax World Balance cites it for having Nobel (an off-shore drilling company) in its top 25 holdings. Why the different treatment for Amana? Am I missing something?

Tunisia out..Sardinia in
... found, build in the 12th century ....church of Santa Maria.....then we found this look out tower over the whole town.....was a few floors up...and was windy as hell and the stairs and platforms were all made of wood which freaked me out a bit....one Italian lady saw how concerned I was going down the wooden steps and said to me in broken English ' don't worry be happy'.....I was much happier when on solid ground I can ...
Goodbye Sardinia, you will be missed
... first time since arriving in Sardinia that we heard English, but it's not really surprising considering it is the biggest city on the island.
The plan for tomorrow is a short flight to Milan, followed by a train ride to Trieste in northeastern Italy. Let's hope this train journey works out better than the last one.
As for Sardinia, it will definitely be missed. ...
Our last Sardinian stop
Last night we stopped in Nuoro, not the most interesting or exciting of places but it worked out well itinerary-wise.
It's a town a bit smaller than Bundaberg with around 35,000 people and only one taxi. Luckily we don't mind taking off on foot when we have stopped for the night. Wherever we have been we have also been used to seeing 'ristorante pizzeria' signs absolutely everywhere. And usually when we only wanted a cafe to get a coffee or a cold drink. In fact, ...
A change of pace
... his golf clubs. Losing his clubs would have been a far worse deal he said.
When we picked up our hire car we got a very pleasant surprise - a 200 C class Mercedes (almost new with only 3000 km on the clock) - and yes it's black! That is surely worth a photo or two. And I'm quite sure it won't encourage Paul to drive as a Montenegrin.
Our first stop in Sardinia is Porto Pinto, just over 80 kms from the airport ...
A Place to Return One Day
Cagliari, Sardinia. The morning greeted us with bright sunshine and pleasant temperatures, which made our approach to Cagliari even more beautiful due to the weather we had encountered in �previous days. We stood out on deck marvelling at this Sardinian capital and bustling port city whose monuments date back to Phoenician and Roman beginnings.� As we are eager to explore this new port we hit the gangplank as soon as we had clearance to leave the ...

Food Bookstore in SF, Marin, or East Bay?
Mo's on Telegraph had a huge section last time I was there trading in cookbooks for store credit.
They're mainly used books, but many are in perfect shape. They've always had a very wide and eclectic selection of cookbooks.
The most interesting thing was that I tried to trade in the French Laundry Cookbook and they wouldn't take it. They said they already had more copies than they knew what to do with. They said they'd take it in their charity donation box.

Lovely fabric/ well made
By Lorna
from Winnipeg
What a beautiful blouse, but will have to return it because the sleeves are very long. Also arrived today with no tags. I will be phoning customer service to inform them of this. Top notch fabric.
Perfect for X-mas
By CHRIS
from SAANICHTON
I purchased the red and it is beautiful! Will be wearing it to many parties. Hope it will wash up OK in a net bag on the delicate cycle as the sequins are only sewed on with one piece of thread. I didn't receive any tags or info with Cojos' name or anything! Just the very brief message about washing with like colors on a tag that was sewn on the inside of the garment.. Usually you get some tags! Was this sold and returned? But it appears well made.

ADAIR, JOHN GEORGE (?–1885). John George Adair, Panhandle cattleman, was an English aristocrat of Scots-Irish descent who owned vast estates in England and Ireland. He was educated and trained for the diplomatic service but entered the world of finance instead. In 1866 he made his first visit to the United States and established a brokerage firm in New York City for the purpose of placing British loans in America at higher interest rates than those in Britain. The following year, at a ball given in honor of Congressman J. C. Hughes, he met Mrs. Cornelia Wadsworth Ritchie, whom he married in 1869 (see ADAIR, CORNELIA W.).
Over the next several years the couple divided their time between Ireland and America. In the fall of 1874 they went on a buffalo hunt along the South Platte River in Nebraska and northeastern Colorado, accompanied by a military escort from Sydney Barracks under Col. Richard Irving Dodge. Adair killed no buffalo but accidentally shot his horse and almost killed himself. Nevertheless, he liked the opportunities the West had to offer and in 1875 moved his brokerage business to Denver, Colorado. The firm made a loan to Charles Goodnight in March 1876, and Adair sought him out when he decided to enter the cattle business. They entered into a partnership on June 18, 1877, in which Adair furnished the money and Goodnight the herd for the JA Ranch in Palo Duro Canyon. The Adairs accompanied the Goodnight party from Pueblo, Colorado, to the ranch headquarters in Armstrong County and stayed just long enough to inspect the range, help tally the cattle, and hunt game before departing for their estate near Rathdair. Adair's conventional, and sometimes arrogant, British mannerisms were received poorly by the cowboys; even Goodnight later admitted that his partner's overbearing attitude was irritating. However, when the original agreement expired in 1882, the ranch showed a profit of $512,000, and the owners renewed the partnership for five more years.
In the spring of 1885 Adair made his third and final trip to the JA, accompanied by his personal valet. He died on his return trip at St. Louis, on May 14, 1885. His body was shipped to Rathdair for burial on his estate. His wife maintained the partnership with Goodnight until it expired in 1887.

Czech it Out!
Karel Gott started me off on a whole tangent and now I can't stop! Sound familiar?
That's right - it's the Small Faces' Sha La La La Lee. Wowsa.
Dig those "Papa Ooo Mow Mow" background vocals. And a Giorgio Moroder composition, but I'm clueless on this.
And in the interest of all things beautiful and ugly, I bring you what is possibly the world's most unattractive band:
is that John Cazale on keyboards?

Tura Says:
MJ:Tell her we LOVE her!
A: Thank you!
6 said...
Ask TURA : "Just do it!" is her motto, what was the first thing she's done with that in mind?
A: Let's see. I got married. I married a cop (laughs.) Basically just about anything I do is what I want to do. Who can tell me no?
Mavis Martini said...
I'd like to know who HER idols are! Who does she look to for guidance?
A. My father and as far as a female idol, I don't have one. I made my own (laughs.)
6 said...
My second "ask Tura" is, to match more the DL Trade Mark : when she was a lil' girl, what was the first woman artifact she remember using to play a woman?
A. Being a Jehovah's Witness, my mother wouldn't let me wear makeup. So it was a cigarette.
My Third "Ask Tura"is, what is her first personal physical LA/Hollywood male souvenir?
A. He wants to know who was the first star I ever screwed? Tony Bennett.
Muscato said ... Ask her for some good Ted "Astrozombies" Mikels dish!
A. It depends on how high my heels were when I stepped on him.
Me: do you want to want put that on there? Tura: yes.
The Stewardess asks: What do you wear to bed?
A pair of lace panties. Even on cold nights.
Anonymous: What was the first club you worked at?
A. The first club I worked at was the Club Rendezvous, in Calumet, Illinois. The first club I ever danced in, not as a stripper, was the Tropicana, on Sunset Boulevard, in Hollywood.
DL: What was it like working with Dean Martin?
A. Great. He was a fun person to work with, and he was very easily surprised, especially when I did a backbend and was twirling my tassels without a bra on (laughs.) He got the biggest kick out of that. I told if I could rev 'em up fast enough I could fly! That day on the set - we had a closed set where supposedly nobody was supposed to come on because I was doing my strip routine - well, we had a huge audience of everyone from all the different offices! They found out when I was going to do it, and they were there!
What lot was that on?
A. That was on the main lot at Paramount Studios, Stage 3 or Stage ... not sure, but it was a huge stage. They had the Tijuana nightclub set in there. And I really would like to know who told all those people! For a closed set, we had Robert Mitchum, of course Billy Wilder (laughs) and (director) William Wyler and a lot of the different stars that were working at Paramount then. Everybody was there. I told the director Danny Mann I should have collected a fee for this and he said, "No, I oughtta!"
You were in "Our Man Flint," too, right?
A. I actually played both the dancers in the nightclub. I played the first and second one in the Marseilles nightclub. James Coburn was very funny - he was a hilarious person. He's the one who went around 20th Century Fox telling everyone that I was going to be doing the routine. Daniel Mann was also the director on that film! It seemed like every place I ever worked Danny Mann was around. He was a sweetheart. He was afraid to make love to me. We used to sleep together. But we didn't ever make love. There's a lot of weird people in Hollywood!
And on that note, folks ...
Enjoy more fabulous stripper images from phewww's collection. Oh no! His account no longer exists. Phewww, if you are still out there please get in touch.

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?
That's right - Tura! Remember, readers, this is your chance to ask Tura any question you want. She'll be at Chez Lethal all weekend, in town promoting her new movie, Sugar Boxx.
Wednesday, September 02, 2009
Look at my newest ebay score! I'm having the one and only Tura Satana as my houseguest this weekend, so I'm going to ask her all about the Pink Pussycat and The Losers, where she worked. Maybe I should do an "Ask Tura" feature - what do you think? If you had all your questions in by Friday, we could answer them over the weekend. When I told my dad she was coming, he made a little choking sound. In a good way.

Audio: Congressional Hearing on Elk River Chemical Spill
By Associated Press and Dave Mistich
The U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee held a hearing Monday morning in Charleston to learn more about the Jan. 9 chemical spill into the Elk River that left 300,000 people banned from using tap water for up to 10 days.
The witness list included the president of West Virginia American Water, state health, homeland security and environmental officials, the chairman of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board and county emergency and homeland security officials.
Freedom Industries President Gary Southern was invited but did not attend.
Two W.Va. members sit on the committee —Nick Rahall, the committee's top Democrat, and Republican Shelley Moore Capito.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -- Ajax won its third straight Dutch league championship in style on Sunday, trouncing Willem II Tilburg 5-0 on goals from five different players.
It is Ajax's 32nd Eredivisie title and guarantees the Amsterdam club a spot in the Champions League next season. Kolbeinn Sigthorsson headed in the first goal in the 12th minute and, when Christian Eriksen scored the second before halftime, fans began to celebrate in the stands, singing "stand for the champion."
The onslaught continued in the second half, with goals from Viktor Fischer, captain Siem de Jong and Danny Hoesen to finish the rout.
"We felt the pressure of the championship today, we played very nervously in the beginning," De Jong said. "I'm glad we finished the game the way we did."
The loss means Tilburg will be relegated.
"We deserve to be champion," Ajax coach Frank de Boer said. "I think that we were the most consistent and showed we play the best football."
With three straight titles in his first three years, De Boer has tied the record for successive wins set by Louis van Gaal in 1994-96 and Rinus Michels in 1966-68. Since World War II, only Guus Hiddink has accomplished the same feat, with PSV in 1987-89.
"That's a really nice list," said De Boer, who has built a winning squad without over-reliance on any one player. Midfielder De Jong was the club's top scorer with 12.
By comparison, Vitesse's Wilfried Bony has 31 goals -- but Vitesse has struggled whenever Bony hasn't played and is in fourth place. It lost 3-2 at RKC Waalwijk on Sunday.
In other matches Sunday, second-place PSV beat NEC Nijmegen 4-2 in Eindhoven and third-place Feyenoord lost 2-0 at ADO Den Haag.
With a three-point lead on Feyenoord and a massively better goal difference, PSV is virtually assured of a spot in Champions League qualifying, while Feyenoord and Vitesse are headed for the Europa Cup next season.

How We Determine Our Grades |
After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.
In what ways do Father Flynn and Sister Aloysius differ in their dealings with the students in the school? How do they feel about each other's approach?
Is there a balance between faith in the unseen and reliance on fact? Can evidence be misconstrued or biased? Are there times when individuals need to rely on intuition or a "gut-feeling" when dealing with others?
Does Hollywood's depiction of religious leaders influence the way you perceive these men and women of faith?

There was a lot of feedback from my last article, which discussed how major search engines have been forced toward alternative revenue sources. Many of them have found success in offering paid search results to advertisers, a service that has created great demand from advertisers and profits for publishers.
In the eyes of many users, search engines are providing biased search results and misleading users by guiding them to the marketers' sites rather than to those providing the content they are looking for.
This is an ethical dilemma that has stirred interest even among consumer groups and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Many are against the service altogether, but the majority argue that sponsored links can play a role with search engines so long as they are clearly designated as being advertisements rather than natural content.
Clearly, in the radically changed world of Internet publishing, profits are scarce and aggressively sought. It has become apparent that sponsored search is a lucrative business, as advertisers generally see excellent returns on dollars being spent and publishers are selling them more easily than most online media. The ethical issues, therefore, often become secondary.
Now suppose that all sponsored listings were all clearly specified (as will likely end up being the case). Is there really a conflict of interest here? Users do not pay for the search service (which is a valuable service to users), and these sites have fairly high overheads to cover. If traditional online ad formats and placements aren't creating enough demand from advertisers, then these sites have to react in one of two ways. They can either begin charging a small fee to users for the search service or start offering advertisers what they want. Most have opted for the latter thus far, and it should just be a matter of time before all sponsored content is clearly designated from the unbiased search and becomes the norm.
This issue also applies to regular ad-supported content sites that have, in the last six to eight months, been forced to offer new, more intrusive ad options that take up more and more space on Web pages, taking away from the content (a good recent example is the X10 ads). I recently read an editorial that discussed how online ads were continuously getting bigger and more annoying and that the trend did not appear to be changing for the better. The writer was critical of where the industry was headed, essentially saying that ads created too much clutter and were far too intrusive.
But if advertisers do not support content sites, the sites would have to charge users for content and services. Therefore, if sites are not able to accommodate advertisers' demands for new, more sophisticated ads, the dollars will be spent elsewhere. To a certain extent, it is a traditional supply-and-demand issue, where there is a huge surplus of media space available with a smaller demand for media buying, regardless of the formats.
Market conditions have also led to a declining demand for media spending, both interactive and traditional. Current conditions have forced publishers to accommodate their advertisers' demands more and more by getting more creative with their offerings and often giving up more of their site's real estate. With such a growing surplus of online media, buyers looking for bigger and better formats have many alternatives.
Considering that most major print publications are supported via subscriptions and advertising, it is surprising that there are not more paid content sites already. It might seem that the industry would naturally be headed in that direction -- there is so much free content and so many free services available online that need to generate revenue in some way. Aside from a few online ad strategies that are somewhat unethical or misleading (e.g., unlabeled paid search results), users do need to understand that nothing is entirely free; they will either have to pay with eyeballs or wallets, and most users prefer the former.
The issue with misleading search links will likely be settled soon with some new regulation in place forcing publishers to clearly mark sponsored content. Aside from this, it seems almost unfair to criticise the advertisements that pay the bills. This is a market, after all, where supply and demand will be bouncing up and down until a natural equilibrium is reached.
If forced to pay, users would be less likely to check stock quotes, catch up on sports and leisure, read industry news, or simply conduct online research via search engines. Someone has to foot the bill -- and if it continues to be the advertiser, then users need to accept publishers' needs to offer bigger, sexier placements.
