text: Last week a Sudanese court charged [JURIST report] two men, including one US resident, with terrorism in connection with anti-government protests in June. In early July Amnesty International (AI) and Human Rights Watch [advocacy websites] jointly urged [JURIST report] the Sudanese government to cease its practice of arbitrarily arresting, detaining and abusing protesters in the country. The rights groups estimated that the country detained more than 2,000 protesters in June alone. In June the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos [official profile] expressed concern [JURIST report] about deteriorating conditions in Sudan due to continued violent conflict resulting in an increase of Sudanese refugees fleeing into neighboring countries. During the same month, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] urged Sudanese authorities [JURIST report] to take measures to prevent violence against protesters in upcoming demonstrations. AI urged Sudanese authorities to cease violence against protesters and journalists [JURIST report] following reports that the country's police in Khartoum used tear gas and batons against civilians who protested over austerity cuts.

Crate Rental for Smooth Office Moves
Business moving is a challenging activity that requires the right support and resources. There'll be pressure to keep downtime to a minimum, to keep staff focused and motivated and to keep the whole project within budget.
All types of businesses - whether a commercial office, a school, university, library, clinic, or museum - at some point will need to undertake some kind of move. Moves are necessary for a variety of reasons. Building repairs, maintenance work or refurbishments often require a temporary internal move. A building's lease may expire and a complete relocation to another site is needed, or there may be a re-organisation of space within a facility.
Regardless of the size of your move or how tight your deadlines, you can rely on Rentacrate, the UK's online crate rental specialists, to supply you with packing crates wherever and whenever you need them, and to collect them when your move is complete. For convenience, you can also rent manual handling equipment such as trolleys and skates at the same time as you order your moving crates, or buy packaging accessories such as bubble wrap, labels and seals.
Rentacrate offers a fast and efficient UK wide service with next day delivery as standard. We provide our customers a self collect option from each of our seven fully stocked depots, which are located in major cities throughout the country. Our rental products can be hired by the week and the hire period can be extended to suit.
Our removals crates are a lot more than just a plastic box. They are robust, specially designed packing crates that can be easily handled and stacked. They are weatherproof and are perfect for moving and storing a wide range of items. Crates may be nested when not in use, making them easy to stack and store when they are ready for collection. Every one of our moving crates arrives with you in tip-top condition, clean and ready to pack.

I know that bass will eat baby bass, and I've had success with perch patterened lures for perch, but what about trout, specifially rainbows? Will they eat a lure that looks like a juvenile 'bow? I've never caught a trout on a rainbow trout colored lure, so am I just fishing it wrong or in the wrong area, or will a trout just never eat a fellow trout?
Woops, double post
Posted By skewl on 02 Sep 2010 08:40 PM I'm fishing a little pond in eastern MA, and there is a little stream that I fish a bit that goes from that pond to a larger lake that I am convinced holds trout. I'm going there tomorrow and I'll report back on what worked. Thanks for all the feedback, btw

In the Maasai community males are to be respected while females are neglected. For Patience, a mother of six girls, the struggle to protect her daughters became too much to bear alone.
With its trees, mountains and beaches, West Sumba Island in Indonesia looks like a lush paradise. Yet severe poverty is a part of everyday life here, and villagers struggle just to find clean water.
At a young age Mafelin was a leader, but her rebellious spirit worked against her.
Compassion-assisted child Riohnel came to the center every day very tired and wearing torn clothes, even after training hygiene from the Child Development Center. A Compassion worker discovered that Riohnel's mother sold his clothes and school supplies to get money. Now, Riohnel lives with his grandfather who takes good care of him.
Poverty had a path ready for Ivoneide. She lived in a shack in a poor community with an abusive father. A sponsor and the Leadership Development Program put her on God's path.
Victoria was different from other children her age. She was often tired and unable to keep up with the normal activities of life. A routine checkup revealed the reason why.
With the absence of his father, Ricardo's family's situation became more desperate. This young boy longed for a sponsor to come alongside him with prayers and encouragement.
The absence of a father and the limitations of poverty should have paved a bleak path for Yuleisy. Instead, she is walking on a path redeemed by God.
Ana and her family had little because of a life of poverty but the little they had was destroyed by hurricane Ida. Recovery and a new beginning seemed impossible.

Bird Brain _________________________________________ tENTATIVELY a cONVENIENCE is a Mad Scientist / d-composer / Sound Thinker / Thought Collector. Whenever he has the energy he devotes himself to "undermining 'reality' maintenance traps"— which naturally made him an ideal contributor for Street With A View! Also a maker of costumes, tENT made an appearance in his Bird Brain persona.
See it in Street View!
Moving Day _________________________________________ A new resident unloads a moving van in front of a house still adorned with a "for sale" sign. It's a simple scene that could be captured coincidently on any street that Google documents, yet this time it was staged. Chris St. Pierre and Tyler Sutton contributed their aesthetic sensibilities and muscle to arranging and performing this moving day tableau. See it in Street View!
Parade Directors _________________________________________ Outfitted authoritatively in "safety yellow" vests, these parade directors ushered the Google documentation car along the "parade route" and kept the street clear of other traffic during the shoot. See it in Street View!
Narrow Escape _________________________________________ Torn bed sheets form a ladder and suggest a narrow escape, but who is escaping? And from what? See it in Street View!
Marching Band _________________________________________ Headed by inspirational director Nancy Addy, the Langley High School Marching Band brought youthful energy and rousing instrumentation to Sampsonia Way. Small but mighty, the Langley High Band made the parade! See it in Street View!
Mattress Factory Fire Escape _________________________________________ The Mattress Factory Museum was incredibly generous in offering space, neighborhood contacts and advice during the planning of Street With A View. Staff members Owen Smith, Lindsay O'Leary, and Jeffrey Inscho helped make the parade a 360-degree experience by filling the air with confetti during the shoot. See it in Street View!
Parade Crowd _________________________________________ Neighbors, friends, and curious passers-by gathered to line the street, cheer on the band and cast their exuberant attention on YOU. Take a walk down Sampsonia Way in Street View (after the images go live of course) and see what we mean… See it in Street View!
Mad Scientist Laboratory (Love Laser) _________________________________________ Ian Charnas was the evil genius behind the creation of this scene. Others struck (or rejected) by his love laser include: Golan Levin, Ashley Brickman, Moxie Marlinspike, Mike O'Toole, Lisa Ramsey, Drew Ratcliff, and Nina Sarnelle. Garage/Laboratory provided courtesy of Tom Little. See it in Street View!
Garage Band _________________________________________ Local musicians Danny Bracken, Daniel Burgun, Phil Johnson, and Phil Jacoby formed this four-piece outfit especially for Street With A View and staged their first rehearsal as an homage to the garage band. Their practice space was provided courtesy of Gregg Bell and Paul Portenlanger. See it in Street View!
Street View Marathon _________________________________________ Runners from around the city formed a pack and took a jog down Sampsonia Way to create the impression of a marathon. See it in Street View!
Doug's Market _________________________________________ The market at the corner of Sampsonia Way and Arch Street, currently Doug's Market, has served Northside residents for generations and has traded hands between only three families in all that time. The old-school, hand-painted signage on Doug's storefront inspired several meat-related tableaux, including an appearance by Doug himself. See it in Street View!
Ham _________________________________________ Artist Michelle Fried donned her ham suit as proof to Doug's claim—Meats here! See it in Street View!
Attention Chicken! _________________________________________ Nicolas Lampert's monumental chicken sculpture made its first interstate road trip for Street With A View. Hailing from Milwaukee, WI, the chicken has impressed and astounded many a Mid-Westerner. Now it's also made its mark in Pittsburgh. See it in Street View!
Fireman Way _________________________________________ A few of Pittsburgh's finest shared their time to good-heartedly enacted the old "firemen rescue cat from tree" scene on Fireman Way. See it in Street View!
Meta-Interventions _________________________________________ Neighbors and passers-by noticed the commotion and got in on the action, devising their own, unplanned scenarios. By intervening in our intervention, these unrehearsed actors helped blur the line between reality and fiction even further!
Sword Fight _________________________________________ Members Askarus and Twolf of the medieval battle society Angaron (Pittsburgh's local chapter of Dagorhir Battle Games) engaged in swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat in a grassy "battle field" at the corner of Sampsonia Way and Federal Street. See it in Street View!

The ubiquity of worlds beyond our Solar System confounds us
Kevin Heng
An area of research that has attracted a lot of attention in the field of astronomy and astrophysics is planet formation: the study of how planets (in our Solar System) and exoplanets (orbiting other stars) form. Astronomers harness the power of telescopes with meter-sized or larger mirrors to search the night sky for exoplanets—and they find loads of them. In the past two years, NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has located nearly 3,000 exoplanet candidates ranging from sub-Earth-sized minions to gas giants that dwarf our own Jupiter. Their densities range from that of styrofoam to iron. Astronomers find them close to their parent or host stars with scorching temperatures of a few thousand degrees; they also find them distant from their stars, more than 10 times farther away than Jupiter is from our Sun. Perhaps most significant, the Kepler results demonstrate that rocky exoplanets are common in our local cosmic neighborhood—and by extension, our universe at large. Nature seems to have a penchant for forming exoplanets.
As astrophysicists, our goal is to construct hypotheses to explain what we see in nature. We create model universes and exoplanetary systems on paper and in our computers. When our hypotheses stand the tests of data and time, they eventually become accepted as theories. Hypotheses of planet formation are usually forged within two accepted paradigms: core accretion and gravitational instability. Core accretion is the "bottom-up" approach: Large objects form from smaller ones, eventually building up to exoplanets. Gravitational instability is the "top-down" method: Exoplanets form directly from larger structures in the primordial disks of gas and dust orbiting young stars. But when astrophysicists zoom in on the physical details, we find ourselves (and our hypotheses) flummoxed and, quite simply, outclassed by nature. Dust grains do not seem to readily stick. Even if rocks form, they then drift into the star much too quickly, fast enough to preclude their coalescence into larger objects. These larger, kilometer-sized objects, known as planetesimals, are in principle the building blocks of planets. For our Solar System, theorists struggle in modeling to form the rocky cores of the gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, before the primordial gas of the natal disk dissipates. Even forming Neptune within the paradigm of core accretion takes too long due to its relative remoteness from the Sun. The devil is in the details and, unfortunately, they do matter when trying to construct synthetic exoplanets.

North Carolina has no online charter schools, but the state is getting ready for them. The state board of education is considering a list of policies to guide these schools. It includes paying them less per student than a regular charter and capping the student to teacher ratio.
Online charters are not your typical schools. For one, there's often no schoolhouse. You can do all your learning from a screen at home. Science, Math, English classes are all online. There are teachers, but usually class sizes are much larger than at a regular brick-and-mortar school.

The Frozen Ground Is DOA
There are a few reasons to be excited about The Frozen Ground, Scott Walker's unfocused and ultimately disappointing debut feature, and they are Nicolas Cage, John Cusack and 50 Cent.
The film, which takes place in and around Anchorage, Alaska, in 1983, makes some amusing casting choices. It stars Mr. Cage as a morally upright state trooper named Jack Halcombe. Just two weeks before he's set to leave the police force for a job with an oil company, he gets hung up on catching a serial killer, Robert Hansen (a stolid Mr. Cusack), who for years has been raping and murdering young women and then burying their bodies in the wilderness. Mr. Cent is also here in a relatively minor role as a loser pimp named Clate Johnson, and Vanessa Hudgens plays a 17-year-old prostitute who manages to escape Hansen's abduction early in the film; she's the only person who can testify against him.
So there you have it: the basic plot and actors that make this movie enticing. But viewers looking for a gritty crime drama or—based on the potent combination of Mr. Cage and Mr. Cent—a kind of parody will not find either here. The Frozen Ground takes itself too seriously for that. Read More

Love…Love…to Hate?
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010There's always a lot of controversy when it comes to sequels, and Fable 3 is no exception. I love Fable, Fable 2, and Fable 3. I have had some of my most enjoyable experiences ever in a console game with the series' odd humor and system of providing me with so many decisions between good and evil. Unfortunately it seems that between Fable 3, Peter Molyneux, and I — one of us doesn't get the others as much as they claim… (more…)

believe it or not new england, it's finally spring. the past few weeks we've had (as noted) pockets of wonderful melty niceness– walking around in a sweatshirt, getting crushes on people, rolling down hills. of course soon after that a bitter wind blows in again and the ground's all hard again and everything's snow dusted and looking like a fried dough. well, officially anyway, spring is here, and with it as always, a modicum of rebirth.
to that end, a few words, and if we're lucky, a song, from the aztec god of spring, "the red smoking mirror", "the night drinker": xipe totec, "the flayed one". he appears here in his traditional aspect– skinless but wrapped in the hides of others. please remember that though sacrifices were definitely made to this princely fellow, it's not entirely fair to say that he "demanded" sacrifice. although at the same time, not to be a creep, but if, sometime between now and 20 days hence, if you were to get into a mindless scuffle or scrape, if blood were to be drawn or a bruise formed, and you opened the bruise up to let some of the bruise blood come out to show them, as maize seeds lose their outer layer before germination and snakes shed their skin, that would be, uh, honorable.

Book of the Month Club
The Book of the Month Club (founded 1926[1]) is a United States mail-order book sales club that offers a new book each month to customers.
The Book of the Month Club is part of a larger company that runs many book clubs in the United States and Canada. It was formerly the flagship club of Book-of-the-Month Club, Inc. In 2000, that company merged with Doubleday Direct, Inc., a company owned by Bertelsmann. The resulting company, Bookspan, was a joint venture between Time Warner and Bertelsmann until 2007 when Bertelsmann took over complete ownership. Approximately six weeks after it acquired complete ownership of Bookspan, Bertelsmann initiated a major overhaul of the book club business, a process that would eliminate 280 positions, or about 15% of its workforce of 1,900. Many of the specialty book clubs such as conservative book club American Compass were eliminated.
In 2008, Bookspan (along with DVD club Columbia House) was sold to the private equity firm Najafi Companies.
Membership terms[edit]
The most common terms of membership involve a "negative response" system whereby a member is shipped the monthly selection on a particular date if the selection is not declined before that date is reached. Customers have the option to respond by declining the selection or opting to order another book or books instead. No response is deemed acceptance of the selection.
Enrolling members usually get a selection of books to pick from at an introductory price (for example, "4 books for $1.00 each"), with the stipulation that once they have accepted and paid for the introductory offer, they agree to purchase a certain number of books within a certain period of time (for example, 2 books within the first year) to complete their membership agreement.
The BOMC2 club format, a web-only sister club, requires one book purchase per month, but customers are allowed to leave the club at any point. The customer can build and manage a book list similar to a mail-order-DVD rental queue. The customer is charged a monthly membership fee and is sent the first available book on his or her list. The membership commitment is fulfilled upon purchasing the required number of books during a specific time period as set forth in the club's terms of service. Other book-of-the-month clubs operate under similar systems.
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2012) |
Harry Scherman was a copywriter for the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency in 1916 when he set out to create the "Little Leather Library". With his partners Max Sackheim, and Charles and Albert Boni, Scherman began a mail order service that offered "30 Great Books For $2.98" (miniature reprints "bound in limp Redcroft") and sold 40,000,000 copies in its first five years.[2] Sackheim and Scherman then founded their own ad agency devoted entirely to marketing books.
The problems of building interest in a new book led Scherman to create, along with Sackheim and Robert Haas, The Book of the Month Club in 1926. As Scherman explained it, the Club itself would be a "standard brand". "It establishes itself as a sound selector of good books and sells by means of its own prestige. Thus, the prestige of each new title need not be built up before becoming acceptable," he explained later,.[3] After starting with 4,000 subscribers, the Club had more than 550,000 within less than twenty years. The size of the club did, in fact, create the Book of the Month Club as a brand. Being a "Book of the Month Club" selection was used to promote books to the general public.

Canadian rock mainstays Barenaked Ladies have a considerably hardcore following, but weâre betting thereâll be an attendee or two at their Ryman show wondering, âHey, whereâs the other dude?â
That would be their former vocalist, Steven Page, who left the band last year to pursue a solo career. This past March, the Ladies released their first album, All In Good Time, since the split.
The disc finds guitarist/vocalist Ed Robertson stepping up his role as a frontman along with songwriting and vocal contributions from his bandmates, as well.
Theyâll be singing your favorites â including Pageâs tunes â at the Ryman (116 Fifth Ave. N., 889-3060) on Monday, May 10, and theyâre bringing along standout pop singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson (âThe Way I Amâ) to open.
The show starts at 7:30 p.m., and tickets run $34.50, $44.50 and $54.50.

Missing Victor Pellerin
Sophie Deraspe (Rechercher Victor Pellerin, Canada 2006)
Victor Pellerin has been missing for 15 years. After a short burst of fame in the Quebec art scene, he reclaimed all of his paintings, set them aflame and disappeared. Or did he? Sophie Deraspe's sprightly genre-busting hybrid follows a group of Montreal artists as they prepare for an anniversary show centered around Pellerin's absent work. Aging at variable rates out of their bohemian pasts, this clique of Pellerin's former friends leads Deraspe on her search for the enigmatic artist. Along the way, friendships suffer under the influence of a strange South American drug, and Deraspe turns the camera on herself and her subjects for a jaw-dropping game of two truths and a lie. Like Orson Welles in his film F for Fake—also a multilayered look at the international art world—Sophie Deraspe calls the truth of her own film and our willingness to trust the documentary form into question, and does so with a cutting sense of humor. Michael Atkinson, in a recent issue of Film Comment, writes that the film's "evasive zigzag around 'reality' serves as a deft backhand slap at the whimsical, emperor's-new-clothes absurdity of the international art world."

Brief Summary | This study will enroll Veterans with chronic pain who have been receiving opioid medications (like methadone, percocet, oxycontin) on a regular basis for at least 3 months to treat their pain. The purpose of this study is to understand if two automated interventions that are delivered by phone can improve the safe and effective use of opioid medications and the physical functioning of Veterans with chronic pain who take opioid medications. One intervention, opioid monitoring, will include monthly automated calls to the enrolled Veteran to ask questions about their use of the opioid medications, pain relief, side effects, effect of pain on physical activity and mood and satisfaction with pain care. The other intervention, skills training, includes learning pain management skills using automated calls and a self-help book with weekly feedback calls from a nurse. Veterans who are enrolled in this study will be randomly assigned (by chance, like a flip of a coin) to receive either opioid monitoring only, self-management only, self-management plus opioid monitoring or a weekly automated phone call with wellness tips. Everyone enrolled in the study will complete questionnaires about their pain and other pain-related information at the beginning of the trial, after the interventions are completed 12 weeks later, and 3 and 6 months after treatment ends. |
Detailed Description | The objectives of the study are to: 1) test the effectiveness of an automated intervention system called COMPACT for improving pain-relevant outcomes including physical functioning and pain intensity; 2) determine whether opioid monitoring promotes guideline concordant care; and 3) examine key components of the intervention process to inform future implementation. This study is a randomized, controlled, multi-site, factorial design trial of a technology supported treatment program called COMPACT relative to enhanced usual care (EUC) in the PACT setting. Participants will include 380 Veterans receiving chronic opioid therapy (COT) and reporting chronic musculoskeletal pain of at least moderate severity. Outcomes of interest include pain-related physical functioning, pain intensity, presence of guideline concordant care practices, and provider satisfaction. Enrolled participants will be randomized to receive COMPACT treatment or EUC. At baseline, 12 weeks (post-treatment), 24 weeks (follow-up) and 36 weeks (follow-up) all participants will undergo an opioid risk evaluation and assessment of all outcome variables. Participants randomized to COMPACT treatment will received interactive voice response (IVR)-based pain self management training and monthly opioid risk monitoring. Throughout treatment COMPACT participants will undergo automated monthly opioid risk monitoring and collection of patient reported opioid use, pain intensity, physical functioning, emotional functioning and quality of life data. Monthly opioid risk monitoring information will be made available to PACT clinicians via automatic entry into CPRS prior to a scheduled opioid renewal appointment. Participants in the EUC condition will undergo assessment of outcome variables and opioid risk assessment at 12-, 24- and 36-weeks post baseline only; they will not receive treatment or opioid monitoring. |

this little el Shaarawy, your greedy to score, understandable, but you dont waive your arm like that to ibra...behave!!
Actually ibra was selfish in 2 shots he could ve pass it to alsharaawy its normal for him to get angry
el Shaarawy can do whatever he wants, who are you? ibra's lawyer? i'm really surprised at the childish way of thinking some people still have
the way he (ibra) kicks the ball similar to technique used by juninho, cristiano ronaldo. with full thrust and almost no spin on air movement. that's what makes it so dangerous
Ibra what a beast assist not to mention the goal. He had goal of the week and assist of the week. Nocerino I must say what a bargain, great transfer for Milan.
There lies the difference between the two teams.......we waste our chances in front of goal, whereas Milan go into games with only one task in mind- score, score, score.....and they do. Ibra is annoyingly efficient and the rest of the team rolls with him.....
simply brilliant nocerino cant stop scoring and cant stop running wee all doubted him and said hes flop now all the world knows him cuz of milan also emauelson is getting better and better i really like him thank u galliani u really r the transfer guru even better than wenger who sells his stars and never win anything
Great game by milan and ibra shows his magic ones again. now 4 point clear, congrats to my milan adn all milan fans

Hello my friend is in need of a team and since I'm a noob at team building I need all of your help. My friend wants a team that is out of the ordinary but can win at least 4 battle in a row against me for the VGC.
If you're looking for a solid vgc team, you can always check out tournament reports and RMTs that proclaim at least decent success if you just want your friend to have a team able to compete. If you'd like to make the team yourself, I'd recommend getting veteran help. You can hop onto #Pokemon for some vague advice or enroll in the next round of VGC Battling 101 on September 27th for a more thorough 1 on 1 learning experience.
TheMantyke pretty much covered it all. For any other simple questions you might have, try the SQSA thread. Good luck to you and your friend! If you'd like some basic help now, hop onto #pokemon and you'll be able to talk to some of the people you see around here and ask for team help. Be mindful of current conversations though!

Painters wrap Forth Bridge job after 121 years
The English language is preparing to mourn the loss of one of its most agreeable similes as painters finally apply the last lick of paint to the Forth Bridge. For well over 100 years, chaps armed with buckets and brushes have scaled the famous structure in a Sisyphean endeavour to keep it spick and span. Now, however, after a …
It's all PR BS I'm afraid. I was told by somebody on the project a few years back that it was a myth that the bridge was constantly being painted. Futhermore he said he could cite periods where no painting was done on the bridge at all for some considerable time.
The whole myth got started because painting the structure is so complex that it obviously takes a very log time and somebody stated that it took so long that by the time the painters reached the far side they would have to start again at the other. There was never any official confirmation of this.
Indeed I remember a few years ago it being a news story (probably in the Scotsman) that the bridge was falling to bits because the painting had been stopped. They can't have it both ways - either the painting was stopped or it has been continuous since the bridge was erected.
They did stop for a while, but I have family in South Queensferry, their house has an excellent view of the bridge and there were people working on it all year round.
Which one
And which Forth bridge are we talking about ? "Network Rail" is the clue. Not the graceful FRB then, but the pleasingly chunky FRB.
There is only one Forth Bridge
There is a Forth Road Bridge too. Please do not confuse them.
That is all.
The rail of course
The rail one is called the Forth Bridge not the Forth Railway Bridge
Only road bridge not with road in its name next to a railway bridge I know of, is the Tamar Bridge as the railway bridge of course is the Royal Albert.
There are two bridges: "The Forth Road Bridge" and simply "The Forth Bridge". The latter doesn't have "Rail" in its name.
Confusion abounds
Evidently we are all having a quiet day. I thought it was "Forth Rail Bridge". So does the Visitors Centre at forthbridges.org.uk. Wikipedia allows both "Forth Bridge" and "Forth Rail Bridge", but what do they know?
Admittedly "FRB" was a step too far.
There are two different bridges, with two different names....
Forth Bridge - Railway Crossing
Forth Road Bridge - A90 Road Crossing
Similar to the situation in Gloucestershire / Wales.....
Severn Bridge - original bridge, now carrying M48
Second Severn Crossing - new bridge, carrying M4
Of course there is only one Forth Bridge....
The others were First, Second and Third.....
3rd Bridge
There is a third bridge, George, which has as usual been unfairly omitted. George IV Bridge, that is.
George IV Bridge does not cross the Firth of Forth. It's an elevated street in Edinburgh. You can't count it just because it's in Scotland you know.
There are two bridges at Queensferry, the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge. Although they are planning another road bridge. Further inland there are two more bridges although I think they cross the river Forth rather than the Firth of Forth. Those are the Kincardine on Forth Bridge and the Clackmananshire Bridge which bypasses Kincardine to the north.
So in short there are still only two bridges over the Firth of Forth.
How about
"Like thinking of a 'get me coat' one liner that hasnt already been done."
"Like finding a previously unused 'paris' gag."
"Like waiting for for an Orlowski Article with comments."
"Like waiting for a Page Article without moaining about Brit-Kit".
I think there was a Page article that didn't slate Brit-Kit last week, wasn't there??
And with a political flavour
for a long and pointless endeavour:
"Like talking to a politician" (add name of current PM to make it topical)
Another (topical) political one:
Like waiting for government to use open source
Like government to complete a computer project on time and budget
Wet Paint
I'm glad to hear it will be finished, I have seen a few TV articles in recent years where the workers talked about the new longer-lasting paints and also commented on the myth that the bridge has needed a "Wet Pain" sign since it was built.
Reminds me of a backup once
Reminds me of my last company, when the tape drive broke on the software production server. Someone decided that we couldn't buy a new one, because the new SAN took all the money and it had an excellent new tape drive in. I was instructed to run a cron job each night to copy the source code repository to the SAN which was in a different building (The backup software couldn't backup to the SAN).
It took just over 25 hours to copy the entire repository over the internal network, so the next night the job started before the first had finished. I can't remember how long this nonesense went on for before they decided to buy a new production server and just connect it directly to the SAN. Whatever, it certainly saved the cost of a tape drive :)
@ Graham Bartlett
Thanks for you post and the clarification. I've been labouring under that misapprehension for years.
X-ing the Y sounds good to me
Let's not get too fussy here, nothing wrong with "X-ing the Y". Maybe except for the potential mispronunciation as "waxing the I" (eye?)
Yes, yes, I was just leaving anyway.
Like X-ing the Y.
I personally like the euphonic sound of that phrase, so I would like to officially submit for your approval: "Like eksing the why."
Edinburgh has a ready-made substitute right on the Forth Bridge's doorstep!
"...like building Edinburgh's tram system!"
P - lease....
This is old news and coupled with this the scaffolding is not down for three months. So it is not finished yet and it is old news that it is finished. The News in this country is tripe with a capital T. Have people forgotten that our government has been engaged in torture! This means if they can do it to them, they can do it to us.
Been a while since I seen a trolling post that went quite so far off topic! But hey, at least the rendition flights will have a nice view on the approach to Edinburgh Airport.
@Marco Mieshio
If I understand your post correctly, we should not be concerned with anything other than just one instance of something that has probably been going on in some form or another for a long time. There is no justification in your mind, for people to indulge in a bit of humour combined with non-political interest.
I'm sorry, you are wrong.
Like X-ing the Y.
To be a true substitute it needs to be some action that once completed needs to be started again .... perhaps
"like making pedantic corrections to the register comments forum postings"
will do.
"Back in the day"(TM) it would, of course, have been "like reading usenet"
In that case...
...Bracknellexile hit the nail on the head with "...like building Edinburgh's tram system" - the tracks in Princes Street requiring repair work only a short time after being put down!
Oil Rigs?
Every one I've been on has been a rusty bucket. Epoxy paint isnt the be all & end all.
Don't think the painters should hang up their brushes just yet.

I Gotta Have More Cowbell Handball
The Market Vectors Russia (RSX) dropped almost 10% this past week. The dollar went up about 3/4 of a ruble, which is a big move, during the same time period.
This will be a great example to learn from. This is a panic caused by what might be a black swan (anyone know if tensions between Georgia and Russia have been an ongoing thing making this conflict inevitable? if so, then no black swan).
This sort of thing has happened countless times before. Some sort of military something or other that catches the market by surprise causing a swift decline followed by the inevitable snapback.
The reason why this is a great example to learn from is the most people are not going to chase heat in Russia. It is not the ideal destination for most volatility tolerances and so as jumping into something that is not right for you as an investment destination is not smart you can pay close attention and watch it unfold.
This sort of thing, albeit with different particulars, has happened countless times and the result seems to always be the same; big, fast decline followed by a snapback. While any single episode could be different, different doesn't happen very often. This kind of event is likely to happen with something that is suitable for you, it has before, and even if chasing it with more money is the wrong trade for you, knowing that you have seen this movie before might prevent you from a panic sale.
If so, mission accomplished.

South Ossetia declared independence from Georgia, and has won a couple of conflicts with Georgia over this. South Ossetia has been bankrolled by Russia, which also gave Russian citizenship to the South Ossetians. Russia wanted to use the example of Kosovo to allow South Ossetia full nationhood. In the meantime, South Ossetia was skirmishing with Georgia.
It seems that Georgia let itself be provoked into attacking (in contravention of an OSCE agreement) and hoped that the US would support it. The problem is that the US needs Russia more than it needs Georgia.
Anyway, as a manager at a hedge fund focussed on Russia, we are feeling all the pain on this one. Russia has been hit by the conflict between the owners of TNK-BP (NOT a state-led attack, but the Russian side is using corrupt bits of the state to help it), the attacks on Mechel, and now this. All of these can be quite easily resolved over time. Mechel should be done this week, TNK-BP is an ongoing story, but the sides are negotiating, and there should be peace in South Ossetia by the end of the week.
All of these could provoke a spike upwards in Russia, so it's best not to be too short. On the other hand, in the past these rebounds occurred against the backdrop of a benign global liquidity and risk environment. When things are less positive, the market can take more time to recover, so I'm more inclined towards a long-short position. - 5:54 AM

I think this downdraft may have happened even without the Georgia conflict (though it certainly didn't help). But any time the Western media starts bad-mouthing Russia, due to ignorance or intent, it usually results in a great buying opportunity. The only thing that keeps me from jumping back into Russia here is the global economic slowdown. So I would agree that caution is prudent. I just hope I don't miss the boat.

i know this is uber conspiracy theory...but might Russia be ruffling the feathers, causing international tension near oil pipelines, trying to boost its' own oil profits amidst the diving oil prices? I mean, $140 barrel oil is so much more delicious than $110 for Russia!?!!

Hey kids, it's the new Ponda Baba and it's really good! He has an extra arm, extra hands, a ton of articulation, and a nearly perfect sculpt. Just go buy it, and if you can't, read on!
This is the new Saesee Tiin from The Clone Wars, which is a very good figure with a very cruddy jetpack.
Last year's Darth Vader was barely a new figure-- it's a tinkered revision of a figure mold that debuted in 2005. It's still really good though-- I almost wish the helmet was not removable, but that's my life. Read on!
There have been many, many versions of Captain Rex and this one, from a 2010 ARC Troopers Battle Pack, is likely the hardest to get. He has a unique helmet and gun, for starters-- so should you get it? Read on!
This Anakin Skywalker was one of the better ones. Lots of joints, a good amount of detail, and yes-- he can fit in your vehicles. This, friends, is what matters! Read on!
It's another Clone Trooper Fives figure! He's got a fancy helmet with neat deco which is a little off-center. I still like it though-- read on!
It looks like a figure you bought, but it's not. The Republic Attack Shuttle Clone Pilot uses a new body style and has unique deco on his shoulders... so he's different! Sort of. The ship is good, at least. Read on!
One of my favorite figures is this concept design-inspired Ki-Adi-Mundi. It's just more fun than the boring ol' Jedi outfit. Should you get one? Aye! Read on!
One good Felucian Warrior deserves another! This is the second figure based on the mold, and he's just as.... uh... whatever he is as ever. How does that sound? Read on!
It's the red version of the female Tusken Raider! How exciting! Well, not really, but it's neat and a nifty way to bring more variety to the desert nomads. Read on!
Oh, this is an exciting one! Pre-blink Wicket the Ewok is a great Vintage 2010 figure, complete with an added cloak resembling the second season of the animated series. Does it get better than this? No, it does not. Read on!
It's another Clone Trooper, this time with some green and some dirt on it. Sexy! Is this particular variant worth your trouble? Read on!
Oh, Darth Vader. Is there any move you can make that won't interest fans? (No. Noooooo!) This 1996 resculpt had a new arm and a new leg, plus looked pretty sweet-- should you get one? Maybe. Read on!

We're eloping! Where should we celebrate, just the two of us.
My fiancé and I have decided to get married, 10 months before our wedding, as a way to celebrate privately before the craziness of the "official" celebration We live in orange county and were going to do it on a Friday afternoon, then have a great dinner and spend the night in a great hotel room. The question is, where should we eat? We're willing to travel for something spectacular, if needed(LA, etc). We love food and were hoping for a place you wouldn't go to on a regular basis. A place with, above all, spectacular, creative, exciting food, but also nice atmosphere suitable for the celebratory mood. I love all types of food, but my fiancé doesn't really eat sushi. Other than that, the sky is the limit. We're willing to spend some cash, but not for a place that's all atmosphere and meh food. Thanks for your help!
How about Fig (delicious food) & the Fairmont Miramar. You can be relaxed and not have to worry about transportation once you get to Santa Monica. Plus, there's something particularly romantic about waking up near the water..
re: foodiemahoodie
I am tempted to recommend FIG in every single post about anything but I left it out of my post about the Fairmont and opted for Michael's instead. The reason is, while I think Ray Garcia does some of the most exciting and interesting food in the city, the decor still labors under the weight of having to be a three-meal a day restaurant in a hotel. I just really don't think it is celebratory in vibe. I'll give one example--the "dish-rag" napkins. Cool and I don't mind them but maybe not the right feel. Instead, go to FIG for brunch on Sunday!!!!!

re: Servorg
Or you could go the other direction If going to the wonderful one of a kind Saddle Peak Lodge:
Saddle Peak Lodge
419 Cold Canyon Rd., Calabasas, CA 91302-
re: wienermobile
Just a note for the OP in regard to Saddle Peak, Malibu Beach Inn and the Four Seasons Westlake.
In the case of each hotel, they are considerably further away from the restaurant, in opposite directions, than any of the previous recommendations. If you fall in love with Saddle Peak (definitely celabratory and romantic and with probably exciting and creative food though maybe not always spectacular imo) then you'll just need to googlize the heck out of your trip and figure out the logistics.
Lastly, getting to Saddle Peak from the O.C. on a Friday night could be so excruciating as to threaten your ability to enjoy your evening.
Thanks for the amazing suggestions! We're going to start calling around and seeing what is available for the day we picked. We are resigned to the fact that our first act as husband and wife will be to sit in Friday traffic en route to our mini-celebration. I think we'll be too happy to care.
re: learningslo
No one said congrats!?
CONGRATS. Doing the right thing. Wish eloping doesn't have that "escaping" denotation assigned to it.
Since you're coming from OC, I'd think RPV is closer? So check out Terranea's mar'sel. Really spectacular food, and you can spend a mini honey moon night there.
Which makes SLS/Bazaar my second choice. So much bling. You never know who you'll run into there.
Your ideal place is The Bazaar at the SLS Hotel.
The whole atmosphere is creative and unique—dizzying Philippe Starck design, bar with fun cocktails, Jose Andres restaurants Rojo y Blanca, and a separate space for dessert. Then you can stroll past vitrines of cool books and tchotchkes to the hotel lobby where you can pause for a nightcap.
Can't think of a better excuse for eloping.-
re: maudies5
true. I still think the dinner part would be perfect, then they can mosey back to the Beverly Hills Hotel and have late breakfast/lunch in the Polo Lounge.
I'm not a fan of the renovated Bel-Air. they've smoothed out all the wonderful old wrinkles and left a bland, trendy (albeit non-Starck) "could be anywhere" hotel in its place. Haven't seen the rooms—the rack rates are astronomical—but we had drinks in the bar, which I used to love for being a dark, cozy hideaway and it's all black and pale wood, expensive so-so cocktails and awkward layout.
Here are some more ideas though I do think Hotel Bel Air would be my first call. Animal and the Andaz Hotel. Hollywood area and a younger crowd and feel at both (don't know how old ya'll are).
Michael's and the Fairmont Miramar. Another Santa Monica possibility and if you throw down for one of the bungalow's...OMG. At Michael's, make sure you get a patio table--there are enough that if you plan ahead it shouldn't be too difficult. As romatic a table as you can get.
For my Beverly Hills ideas you can just mix and match restaurants and hotels at whim as they are all either in the same building or very close to each other. Scarpetta, CUT & Spago with either the Montage, Beverly Wilshire (a Four Seasons property) or the Four Seasons Beverly Hills which is about a 5 min. cab ride away. A note here, the food at CUT is pretty terrific but it is first and foremost a steakhouse.
I can't figure out how to get the food reco right or I'd say you could keep going up the coast to Bacara. Cheers
Shutters/Capo is good, but Melisse and the Bel Air is better. Much better. Shutters can be romantic, but the Hotel Bel Air iswhole 'nuther level of romance - one of the most romantic hotels in the world. Melisse is more formal, more special, more indulgent than Capo - which is solidly good. And if you can't make Melisse, Wolfgang Puck has a restaurant at the Bel Air.
But I'd say rent a limo, go to Melisse, then to the Bel Air, and wake up in paradise.
But I'd do Melisse, Bel Air, and then breakfast at the Terrace at the Bel Air. Please, just check out the website of the Bel Air before you do anything. 12 acres of lush Beverly Hills flora. It's amazingly charming and it just went thru a 100 million dollar renovation. There are swans and ponds and creeks. I'll include a pic.
re: cls
That makes sense, but this is Chowhound, not Hotelhound. I'm assuming dining is a priority and though there is a tremendous likelihood that Wolfgang Puck at The Bel Air will be a solid restaurant, I really don't know anyone I trust who has tried it.
When I travel - I make reservations at restaurants, and then find the best hotel nearby. Get the best of two worlds and a 15 minute drive to the hotel.
Since this is a special night - I'd get a limo so, after we've done the two Carte Blanche menus at Melisse with wine pairings - hop in the limo and use that 15 minute ride to the hotel as warming up for the main event. In fact I'd get to the hotel first, check in, have some champagne as the sun set, then go to dinner. There's only once chance on this special night - and pragmatism over decadence shouldn't be an issue.
If you want to have a lovely evening and stroll back to your room then the Studio at the Montage would be a good bet to cover your evening in romantic glory. Just talking food then Marche Moderne in Costa Mesa would probably rate as number one. First Cabin has gotten some good reviews here at the Balboa Bay Club and Mastro's Ocean Beach and Pascal are contenders as well.
Enjoy your high tech loping (E-loping!) ;-D>

re: Servorg
Note that Tradition by Pascal closes after Valentine's Day (how French!) and Monsieur Olhats will focus on his other restaurants. However, he reported to the Daily Pilot that Tradition will become the new home of Christophe Eme, late of Ortolan, who will be offering a more casual take on French food than he used to prepare. I like the Studio recommendation best, though, considering the OP's comments; however, I agree with you that, if food alone were the consideration, Marche Moderne would be the top choice.

Will $20 glasses, universal standard polish active 3D TV's apple?
LAS VEGAS--Active 3D glasses that come free with the TV, don't cost too much for extra pairs, and work with other brands might help win a few more 3D TV naysayers.
Ami Dror, Chief Strategy Officer for 3D glasses maker XpanD, told CNET that he expects active 3D glasses to cost as little as $20 each before the end of the year. That's $10 less than the current least-expensive such glasses from Samsung, which retail for $30 per pair. Active glasses from Sony and Panasonic currently cost more.
But current active 3D glasses don't work across … Read more

I am taking the Hornets plus the big points. With Kaman back at center for the Hornets they have covered 6 straight in their last 6 games, all of which he has played. I also like going against teams laying a huge number in the NBA right off the All Star break. Yes, Chicago will win, but double digits is huge in the NBA, and NO playing better ball with a low post presence.

There has always been something comforting to me about a new Huckins taking to the water. Through good times and bad, it is the culmination of a process that has continued without interruption since Frank Pembroke Huckins founded the yard in 1928 on Lakeshore Boulevard in Jacksonville, Florida. In recent history, a trendy palette of boating brands has joined the yachting fold. But, for the knowledgeable yachtsman, the Huckins mark remains a historical touchstone and the builder's products a relief from the mainstream. La Belle Hélène, Huckins latest launch, is a perfect example.
I spent time aboard La Belle Hélène with her owners Helen and Frank Morneau and yard owners Cindy and Buddy Purcell. Cindy is the granddaughter of Frank Huckins and has been running the business with her husband Buddy since her late father retired in 1980. The Morneaus hail from Toronto and are experienced boaters and members of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club. They were familiar with the yard because a close relative had owned and enjoyed a Huckins for many years. The Morneaus have had quite a few boats and raised quite a few boaters.
"We had been looking at a 44 Huckins but a bigger boat made more sense, considering our five kids and twelve grandchildren," said Frank Morneau. "The problem was draft, as water levels are down in the Great Lakes." The Morneaus sea trialed a larger Huckins fitted with waterjets and were sold.
There is no mistaking the origins of La Belle Hélène's design. Frank Huckins's vision of building a faster yacht was not revolutionary. While others were challenging the speed envelope by simply adding horsepower, Huckins looked at the design as a whole. He fretted over every detail from scantlings and interior specifications to weight distribution and hydrodynamics. Huckins's boats were built one way-Frank Huckins's way. Those that did not understand this, whether employee or customer, were politely sent elsewhere.
After Huckins's death in 1951, the yard explored new markets by building sportfishing boats as well as conventional and not-so-conventional motoryachts-a 50-foot, outboard-powered cruiser comes to mind. In the 1990s, Purcell recognized the value of the Huckins pedigree and tastefully brought some of the yard's classic designs up to date. These designs are not retro. Instead, they are the real deal.
"At the time we noticed that people were interested in classic design, from cars to clothes," said Purcell. "Our updated designs from the 1950s and 1960s have driven our production ever since." La Belle Hélène is hull number 456 and is based on the Huckins 56 Linwood model, originally introduced in 1950. Her reverse transom masks an integral swim platform, which seems a practical compromise to tradition and accounts for her length overall (60 feet, 3 inches). Her styling has been refined: It's a bit softer and has more curves than Frank Huckins might have liked. Such features were not efficient in wood construction. The gentle rise of her slightly reverse sheer, her proud chine, and the conservative rake of her stem are trademark Huckins. So too is the sensible cut of her deckhouse and the sweep of her rails. Custom-cast deck hardware and hatches that Frank Huckins patented in the 1950s accent these styling cues. But La Belle Hélène's rich dark-blue hull and white house are in tune with the times. In Frank Huckins's day it would have been light gray for the hull and off-white for the superstructure and interior. While Huckins insisted his goal was to reduce eye fatigue, I suspect production efficiency was also a consideration.
When the original Linwood was launched she was the largest offering in the Huckins fleet and larger than most of the yachts on the waterway. Her design was penned in response to demand for a boat with split accommodations-crew forward and owner aft. Boating has changed over the years and is now more hands-on in this size range. La Belle Hélène's layout suits the Morneaus, who prefer to run the boat themselves. Her bridge has a teak and holly sole and is arranged with a lounge area aft and a helm station forward with comfortable Recaro seating. Pantograph doors adjacent to the helm allow convenient access to the side decks for handling lines. The covered exterior cockpit has a gate for access to the swim platform.
