PHILADELPHIA Ś Philadelphia-area residents are enjoying a relatively mild summer, perhaps a gift for the harsh winter they endured.
Officials have yet to activate a heat warning, or record a single heat-related death.
The Philadelphia Inquirer (http://goo.gl/74X4ak) reports Saturday that thereÆs been just one three-day stretch with temperatures in the 90s.
The summer has brought several strong storms to the region, however, and more are possible early next week.
But meteorologists expect highs in the low 80s afterward, as a wave of comfortable weather sets in.
Meteorologist Michael Musher of the federal Weather Prediction Center says weather patterns are running a month or two behind schedule.
ThatÆs why people were shoveling snow this spring Ś and havenÆt yet faced a sticky summer.
Musher expects the coming week to be ōquite refreshing.ö

They are fat rats
Submitted by Guest in this town (not verified) on Fri, 10/12/2007 - 10:21pm.
What about the NAACP remarks makes these comments unplatable? They are fat rats that feed off the unfortunate results of others. They work to develope home sites obscuring grves until they become an issue... They make an issue out of something they can profit from. They will cast no glance to their own when they can enlight us all to a case of white-on-black violence that puts their cause to the for-frount. I want my children brought up better! They disgust me.

KillSmiley commented on the blog post The Return Of The Daughter Of The Bride Of McMegan McMath
If you know absolutely nothing about her work and go just off her CV, McArdle has an impressive background. Also, she seems to have actual fans. I have no clue who these people are, but I assume they all come from Middle Earth because they're clearly beasts of fantasy.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Must Credit Jesus. Then Go Take A Leak Against A Wall.
Man, I don't know what you guys have done to merit such spot-on tracking. I went over to that site and it missed me by several states.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Knee. Jerk Response.
Whoops! I see you actually understand that.
Pretend that my remark was directed towards someone else while I make a hasty egress.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Knee. Jerk Response.
He's a humorist.
I realize that everyone else on this network is convinced that his/her half-informed, conspiracy-laden missives are changing the world. But I've been following TBogg for years, and he's really never had pretenses towards anything but fucking around with the chronically humorless for our amusement.
Don't like it? Don't think it's funny? The URL prompt is just a few inches up. You'd be ruining our fun, too – I guarantee that TBogg would stop writing these kind of posts if you guys would stop showing up.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Pigford Party A Go Go
Meanwhile, over at Twitchy, the Malkinites are celebrating a day of a dozen people linking to each other on Twitter.
Just a little reminder of how simultaneously sad and hilarious that corner of the Web is.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post One Little Hitler Does The Other One's Will
I, too, am opposed to "socialization" through socializing. That's why my offspring will be raised in Skinner boxes.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Anhedonia
Hell, I get why everyone's so upset. I mean, all we got was an estate tax increase, a permanent capital gains tax, a fix on the Alternative Minimum Tax to stop hikes on the middle class, unemployment insurance extension, extension on every business tax including those for alternative energy development, and a temporary freeze on Medicare cuts. See? Nothing.
You don't understand the True Progressive technique for negotiations. If you only get 90% of what you want, you don't take it. You flip over the bargaining table, stamp your little feet and yell at the top of your lungs until people take you seriously!
KillSmiley commented on the blog post An MBA In The House Of Love
Clearly, God is laughing at us. You know those videos of dogs and cats doing silly things that get millions of views? That's us, just so many stupid clips on the celestial video host.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post An MBA In The House Of Love
You do this time consuming task of finding gifts which often aren't right, and then pretending to like and use the wrong things others have gotten you . . . and why bother if you could each buy yourself better stuff?
Yeah, and why bother with this whole friends thing? What's the point of spending all this time talking to people who aren't me? Or you go for a drive with one of them, and he's not listening to the exact type of music I wanted to listen to, and you have to pretend you're not revolted…why bother, right?
It's not on her list, but I think I know what McArdle needs – a programmable soundboard, so she could have long conversations with the only person who really understands her. We could make an app for whatever trendy device she buys next, thereby completing her transition into complete blind egotism.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Red Dawn Of The Dead
Hell, I say let him keep the name so long as he keeps his high school Marxism off this site.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Red Dawn Of The Dead
Well, let's take a look at Darby's allegation:
In an apparent effort to restrict information to their populace, the Chinese government wrote of a number of US mass shootings but failed to mention they were either stopped by a citizen legally carrying a firearm or otherwise only occurred in the controversial gun-free zones that critics say make prime targets for madmen.
The article he cites mentions two mass shootings: the recent mall shooting (ended in a suicide) and the Aurora shooting (shooter detained by police). That's how most of these things end, so that statement's not true. Historically? The only incident that even comes close was the 1966 U of T tower shooting, which was stopped by an off-duty patrolman (an "LEO," to quote our overcompensating friend from yesterday), but that's hardly a "citizen."
So Darby is a degenerate lying scumbag, which isn't really news.
Also, it's interesting that the "Obamacare is tyranny" crowd are now seeking to give the government the right to forcibly drug people.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post When I'm Called Off, I Got A Sawed Off
And there it is, the old "Why don't libs want to ban cars hurr." Never heard that one before. That argument gets dragged out all the time, but it occurs to me that it's kind of an apples to hand grenades comparison. After all, unlike a car, a gun is not a device used by millions of people on a daily basis, sometimes for hours on end. Rather than using absolute numbers, a more accurate comparison would be a statistical rate like deaths per mile driven. Incidentally, according to the site you linked to, the 2010 rate of automotive accidents in the United States was 1.11 per 100 million miles. I wonder how many people die for every 100 million times a gun is drawn? Think it's higher than one?
Oh, and in regard to your comment at #65 regarding your presumed skill – have you ever actually been shot at? I ask that because my late grandfather was an Army scout during the Second World War and a county sheriff for years after. People had shot at him many, many times. You know what was the last straw that made him break with the NRA? The assault weapon shit. I tend to place his experience with firearms over some anonymous commenter.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post When I'm Called Off, I Got A Sawed Off
A popular conspiracy theory on the right side of the aisle is that the Fast and Furious operation was botched on purpose to turn public opinion against guns.
Because guns are the Jews of liberal fascism. Right, Insty?
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Abattoir Cadabra
Shaming the tobacco industry was a two-pronged movement – depicting the product as deadly and casting the execs as predators. With the gun lobby, the first is easy but the second is tricky. They've done a good job of muddying the waters with their "responsible gun owner" talk. The clearest sign is the availability of semi-automatic rifles that have no legitimate non-homicidal use. The gun lobby has 20 years of arguments on behalf of assault weapons, but most of it was based upon the scarcity of crimes committed with rifles. Making that argument now is going to be downright sociopathic – not that someone won't try it anyway.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Abattoir Cadabra
These people have Rambo fantasies that they can no longer distinguish from reality. Everyone who makes this argument has this image in his head of coolly drawing his 9mm and putting two rounds clean through the gunman's heart. In our reality, the first thing they teach to people who carry guns for a living is that this sort of competence in the face of mortal danger is not going to happen. My grandfather was an Army scout and a sheriff, and he parted company with the NRA over just this sort of nonsense. He'd been shot at; he knew.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Victory Dance On The Killing Floor
Okay, to Knut and ADC14 and the anti-drone people above, could you maybe not drag your fucking politics to the table for once? Possibly wait a few days before you make this about you and your pet issues? Yes, I know that Pope Greenwald believes that Obama supporters enjoy killing children, but that doesn't excuse you from acting like a pack of goddamn ghouls.
KillSmiley commented on the blog post Some Asians All Look Alike
I'm going to steal someone else's comment. Here's "joe from Lowell":
You're drinking your own Kool-Aid about "makers and takers" and "industrious strivers vs. lazy parasites."
That is a bogus rubric that fails utterly to describe how the world works, and its failure to predict the political preferences of Asians and Jews should strike you as powerful evidence for its uselessness, but you are so emotionally attached to this self-serving bit of propaganda that you'd rather go through life confused that admit that "your sort of people" are not, in fact, superior to "those people."
You are aware that TBogg is only writing these posts because it gets this reaction out of folks like you, right? There's truly nothing more amusing than the war dance of the permanently aggrieved.
The PRC, for example, where the social safety net might as well be made of good intentions for as much good as it does.
The modern conservative position is that health is a luxury, and no one is owed luxuries. A sad statement on the modern world.

Wilbert Brockhouse Smith is not a name which normally comes to mind for most people when they are discussing the evidence pertaining to UFO's and extra-terrestrial intelligence. Indeed, most people tend to confuse Wilbert Smith with Wilbur Smith - the author of numerous historical fiction novels. Wilbert Brockhouse Smith was himself a writer, though his main work "A New Science" was never finished nor widely published.
Wilbert Smith was a rare individual indeed - naturally inquisitive, kind-hearted, methodical, analytical, thorough, resourceful - yet open-minded. Some of his writings read like those of a spiritual leader, whilst remaining grounded, straightforward and accessible. Unusually, for someone like Smith, through the 1940's and 1950's, he rose to a high position in the Canadian Government and eventually became the Superintendent of Radio Regulations. In 1950, his interest in "flying saucers" (as they were called then) was triggered by a magazine article and he began to investigate "saucer" cases himself, developing questionnaires for witnesses and contactees. He was a contemporary of people such as Major Donald Keyhoe, George Adamski and the legendary Frank Edwards, who all played a significant role in developing our knowledge of "The Boys Topside", as Wilbert Smith came to call them.
Smith took his research very seriously and he realised and expressed the implications of what he discovered. He made repeated and strenuous efforts to obtain the support of the Canadian Government in specific research projects that he and a small team of associates undertook. These projects were not without success, although in later years, government officials disavowed their involvement with them and withdrew support.
In 10 years of research, Smith's understanding developed and he began to see "the bigger picture". He realised the key role that awareness and consciousness played in the phenomena that he was investigating.
When I first came across Wilbert Smith, I strongly identified with his writings and conclusions - partly because we have both worked in engineering disciplines - which are all about solving problems.
This presentation is made possible by the work - spanning a quarter of a century - of Canadian Researcher Grant Cameron (www.presidentialufo.com). Other researchers have also collected and preserved Smith materials and prevented their untimely removal by government employees. However, it was Grant Cameron that collated (and placed in the public domain) thousands of pages of WB Smith-related documents, including the famous "Top Secret Memo" written to the Canadian Dept. of Transport in 1950. In that document, Smith discloses the secrecy classification on the study of the "saucer" phenomenon. Cameron and others have also preserved several hours of compelling audio recordings of Smith and his associates. These recordings, even today, jolt our grey matter in surprising directions.

Spiral Dance, The - 20th Anniversary: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Goddess: 20th Anniversary Edition (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
The twentieth anniversary edition of The Spiral Dance celebrates the pivotal role the book has had in bringing Goddess worship to the religious forefront. This bestselling classic is both an unparalleled reference on the practices and philosophies of Witchcraft and a guide to the life-affirming ways in which readers can turn to the Goddess to deepen their sense of personal pride, develop their inner power, and integrate mind, body, and spirit. Starhawk's brilliant, comprehensive overview of the growth, suppression, and modern-day re-emergence of Wicca as a Goddess-worshipping religion has left an indelible mark on the feminist spiritual consciousness.
In a new introduction, Starhawk reveals the ways in which Goddess religion and the practice of ritual have adapted and developed over the last twenty years, and she reflects on the ways in which these changes have influenced and enhanced her original ideas. In the face of an ever-changing world, this invaluable spiritual guidebook is more relevant than ever.
About the Author
Starhawk is the author of nine books, including her bestselling The Spiral Dance, The Pagan Book of Living and Dying, and Webs of Power, winner of the 2003 Nautilus Award for social change. She has an international reputation, and her works have been translated into many different languages. Starhawk is also a columnist for beliefnet.com and ZNet. A veteran of progressive movements who is deeply committed to bringing the techniques and creative power of spirituality to political activism, she travels internationally, teaching magic, the tools of ritual, and the skills of activism. Starhawk lives part-time in San Francisco, in a collective house with her partner and friends, and part-time in a little hut in the woods in western Sonoma County, where she practices permaculture in her extensive gardens and writes.

On any given weekday in the summer, you will find me walking through fields counting bugs. In fact, it's my job: I'm an ecologist studying the communities of insects that live in agricultural landscapes. Most days between early June and early September I drive between farms to scout crop pests and the beneficial insects that eat them, changing sticky yellow glue traps and sweeping vegetation with a canvas net.
But a single afternoon in August 2006 stands out in memory. Along one of the transects my colleague and I had set up in a cornfield, we noticed that several plants around one of our traps were missing. Strong winds or hail can knock down whole corn plants but what made this remarkable was what stood in their place: marijuana. Specifically, there were five plants, each standing about eight feet tall, in the middle of our survey plot and bursting with buds ready to harvest. While we were deciding how to proceed and what to tell the landowners, we received our next surprise; someone else was rustling through the field towards us.
It's rare to happen upon someone strolling through a cornfield—and for good reason. If you've never walked through one, it is not a pleasant experience. Tightly packed rows of stalks almost 10 feet tall create an almost full canopy overhead. Underneath, row widths much narrower than your hips include sharp, jutting corn-leaf edges that inflict papercut-like nicks to any exposed skin as you brush past. And if you're there during the tasseling and silking stages, your skin may break out in a rash from the falling pollen. Appropriate attire for field scientists in cornfields includes boots, long pants, and sleeves, a sturdy hat, and glasses to protect your eyes from being cut by the leaves. In other words, anyone making the trek into a cornfield is going with purpose, whether to sample insects or surreptitiously grow marijuana.
When the person approaching saw us, our field gear, and our surprise, they quickly disappeared back into the dense sea of green stalks. While we never saw them (or their marijuana) again, it became clear that this was not an isolated incident. Almost every corn grower I spoke to that summer had a tale of discovering marijuana in their cornfields at harvest time. Which led me to ask: What is it about the nation's largest crop that has made it so attractive to marijuana growers in recent years?
The answer: Growing marijuana has become possible and desirable, not to mention nearly untraceable, thanks to the very innovations that created industrial-scale, precision agriculture in the first place.
* * *
In an arms race to grow more food for a ballooning world population while still turning a profit, commodity farmers are turning to quantification. By carefully monitoring their inputs and outputs, growers turn usage information into optimized and personalized plans for each of their fields. They map their field perimeters using GPS technology. They plant crops in laser-fine straight lines while streaming Netflix over wifi in their air-conditioned tractors, which count the seeds planted in real time. They precisely apply pesticides with helicopters, which are safer and more effective than crop dusters, reducing the amount of chemical needed. At the end of the growing season, they measure crop yield on a plant-by-plant basis as the combine harvests, revealing within-field patterns of variability never known before. Recently, agribusiness corporations have even proposed tracking that yield data at continental scales during harvest, which would be used to alter grain market prices into the next year. And while the Federal Aviation Administration has not yet legalized the use of drones for commercial purposes in agriculture, researchers have already started flying them over fields to record plant health and track pests, disease outbreaks, nutrient deficiencies, and drought stress at landscape scales.
The truth is that they don't.
Once a corn field is planted and herbicide applied, many farmers don't return to a given field until harvest time. The biotechnological and labor-saving innovations that have reduced costs for corn farmers mean that literally no one walks into the average corn field during the growing season. Which presents a major opportunity for marijuana growers. Indeed, entire Internet forums devoted to sharing tips for growing marijuana in other people's corn fields have sprouted.

The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.
Financial information
Deciding to do postgraduate study isnt just about finding the right university and the right course for you. Many students need to think about how theyre going to fund their studies and meet their living costs while working towards another degree.
It is important to be aware that postgraduate study is a huge financial commitment so it is crucial that you start to think about funding arrangements as soon as possible (ideally up to a year before your programme starts). Funding is notoriously competitive so dont be surprised if you have to rely on more than one source of funding as this is becoming increasingly common.
Film, Media & Journalism had 70 percent of its research rated as either World-leading or Internationally Excellent in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).

ATP hires Kermode as executive chair
The ATP has hired Chris Kermode to be its executive chairman and president.

How It Showed His Love For His Favorite Color: Maybe this was purely coincidence. In fact, we're pretty sure it was. But Jay had the lead single from a movie with "Blue" in the title in one of his first really big commercial looks. As a result, we hope he gave the producers a discount.

i like the holster it seems durable and was very inexpensive i am using it for my springfield xd9 9mm pistol and it fits great, i just dont like that there is no option to use a belt/pants clip. because when i am carrying it on on hiks im not always wearing a belt and it would be nice to clip it on my pocket or my jacket. or even wear it on the inside of my pants to conceal it since i have my CPL

Rep. Michael Grimm meets with Staten Island residents affected by Hurricane Sandy to call for more relief for homeowners.
Grimm says he wants the state and federal governments to expand a home buyback program that turns whole neighborhoods into parks or other open spaces.
He's also asking for the state to provide more grants for home elevation and construction, an alternative to a buyout.
"I think we're thinking small. I really think we're missing the big picture and missing an opportunity to completely revitalize these areas in a way that we work with Mother Nature and we live with the water instead of just trying to keep it out," Grimm said.
Grimm also wants a city planner who specializes in waterfront communities to assess which areas should be kept as open space and which are safe enough to remain residential.

I was afraid you´d ask that.. lol
As a matter of fact in the end, i didn´t even need the transistors. But i gave up on trying not to use the external XTAL.
SadSack´s third hex file got it right. After i soldered it all neatly on a board and added a couple of caps, the signal was nice and clean, but i´m quite embarassed to admit what was really preventing the software from being able to detect the signal.
It turns out that at some point i commented the line #define SERIAL_SUM_PPM for testing and forgot to uncomment it .
After that it worked.
I still have to figure out how to solve that AUX1 problem now though.

Does your TX have a monitor screen where you can see each channel? If so check that the AUX 1 switch is actually doing what you expect. Are the end point settings for each channel the same? Does the AUX1 channel have to be set as a 3 position switch? If so, I know the DX6i does not easily allow this (I assume your 5 channel tx also does not) although you can get around it by programming it a via a mixer on the TX.
|Jan 26, 2011, 01:52 PM
@ SadSack, Helidave1 and everyone else who helped me so far, here´s a link the the MultiWii thread where i´ve posted 2 videos showing the AUX1 thing. Maybe it can help.
|Jan 27, 2011, 02:25 PM
"on your video, we can see there is only 5 rising edges on the stream.
channel 1= time difference between rising egde 1 and 2
channel 2= time difference between rising egde 2 and 3
channel 3= time difference between rising egde 3 and 4
channel 4= time difference between rising egde 4 and 5
no way to distinguish a channel 5
The soft works like this.
You can maybe double the last channel to have another rising edge on the stream."
It makes sense! So if others encounter the same problem, this is probably the answer.
I´m still trying to disassemble your hex file to try to double the last pulse, but i think i don´t know how to use AVR Studio very well.

AVRStudio wasn't used to re-make source http://acholic.turningaway.net
ps can i suggest that you move AUX inut to one other pins and change code to suit. If only to see if channel can be seen in software.

Tt rec-enc
I have been using the above unit for some time to get a PPM and it works very well. I have been comparing it's operation with the code listed here and used it an ATTiny 2313. The 2313 gives a good solid output signal but when I use it on a tricopter I get a "glitch" of some sort. I noted the comment in the above post and wondered if this could be the cause as the TT REC ENC unit works flawlessly when I swap it over. I cannot see a problem on the scope. I realise that the above description is vague but it's the best I can describe it.
I wondered if anybody has any ideas - assembly code is beyond me !
|Jan 31, 2011, 12:13 AM
Yes, by the way, even though SadSack kindly posted the code above, i´m still strugling to modify it to double the last pulse or at least insert another "clear bit, set bit" so the MultiWii software will see the 5 "rising edges" and sense all 5 channels correctly.
As a matter of fact, i decided to google and try to study a little bit of avr assembly just to try to understand and modify the code..
Just a note on the coment about the binary count above. If you open Windows "programmer´s calculator" and type "00010000" binary and click hex, it will output "10" . If you type "00100000" it will output "20" ...

Hi Guys,
Anyone seen this yet, http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-g3-...r-dongle-65233 ?
I will dump the disk that comes with the dongle as i do not support piracy, however for $25 i seems crazy for me to build up an AVR programmer (Although i bought all the components to make it) and make up my own wireless sim dongle. I own a legit version of Reflex XTR and will only be using that, however for those with legit versions of Aerofly, etc this may be a good solution, :-).

I don't think it's going to come with a full version on realflight. It'll will probably have a emulater program to get it started without their usb dongle. This is how I do it.

FALCONER, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say four teenagers were apparently partying in a former law office in western New York when they got trapped for several hours in a walk-in vault.
Police say they received a call around 1 a.m. Friday from a person reporting that four people were stuck inside the vault in the village of Falconer, 60 miles south of Buffalo.
Rescue crews and a locksmith went to the building. The locksmith freed the teens, ages 18 and 19, after about four hours. Police say all four were checked out at a hospital.
Officials say the teens had permission to be inside the building. Authorities say they found a large quantity of alcohol and some marijuana on the premises, and charges are pending against the four.

Incendies is a 2010 Canadian mystery drama film written and directed by Denis Villeneuve. Adapted from Wajdi Mouawad's play of the same name, Incendies follows the journey of twin brother and sister as they attempt to unravel the mystery of their mother's life. The film premiered at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals in September 2010 and was released in Quebec on 17 September 2010. In 2011, it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. And it won the UPC Audience Award at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2011.
The film won eight awards at the 31st Genie Awards, including Best Motion Picture, Best Actress (Lubna Azabal), Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Overall Sound and Sound Editing.[4] Incendies was named by the New York Times as one of the 10 best films of 2011.[5]
Nawal Marwan, an immigrant to Canada, succumbs to a stroke she suffers at a community swimming pool, and her two children, a brother and sister, receive her final requests in her will. To fulfill her wishes, they must journey to her birthplace in an unnamed Middle-Eastern country (based on Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War[6][7]).
The movie contains a series of flashbacks to the mother's life. Nawal, a Middle-Eastern Christian is impregnated by a refugee (likely a Palestine refugee in Lebanon). Nawal's infuriated brothers kill her lover as he and Nawal try to escape. She reveals to her grandmother that she is pregnant. They keep the pregnancy secret in order to save face. Upon the baby's birth, the grandmother tattoos the infant's heel, and they give the baby boy away. Nawal follows her promise to her grandmother to study in Daresh (a fictional city) during which a civil war breaks out. Under threat of war, Nawal returns to find her lost son. War has preceded her arrival as she discovers her son's orphanage at Kfar Khout has been destroyed. She then pretends to be a Muslim to board a bus with other Muslims fleeing to get to the camp where her son has been moved.
On the way to the camp her bus is attacked by armed Christians. She and a Muslim woman and her daughter survive, only to have the bus covered in gas to be burnt. Nawal escapes by showing her cross. They would not spare the woman, so Nawal claims the other woman's daughter as her own. However, the daughter runs back to the bus and is shot.
Nawal recognizes the face of a man she sees on a political poster as the same man whose face was on the t-shirts of some of the men in the Christian militia who killed the people during the bus attack she survived. She joins a radical group and is planted as a French tutor for this prominent Christian leader, and then assassinates him. She is sent to Kfar Ryat prison for 15 years, and as prisoner number 72, despite all efforts of her captors, she remains resolute and becomes known as "The Woman Who Sings". Before her release, her enraged captors call upon the torture specialist Abou Tareq to break her spirit and stop her singing. He rapes her repeatedly and she gives birth to twins in the jail. A nurse secretly saves the babies and returns them to Nawal after her release. Nawal emigrates to Canada with the twins.
Upon her death, Nawal leaves a will requesting that her children, Simon and Jeanne, find their father and lost brother. Simon refuses, but Jeanne continues on her own, following in her mother's footsteps. She finds her extended family. They refuse to speak to Jeanne because of the shame her mother brought on the family. She then finds the prison and learns from a former employee that her mother was tortured and gave birth in prison. He gives her the name of the nurse who assisted Nawal during childbirth.
Distraught, she calls Simon to join her. He arrives with their mother's former employer from Canada. They find the nurse and ask about the baby who was born in prison. The nurse reveals their mother gave birth to twins, Janaan and Sarwan whom she safeguarded.
A local notary identifies the name of their lost half-brother as Nihab of May. They trace the warlord who conducted the revenge attack on Kfar Khout and destroyed the orphanage. Simon learns that the warlord had spared the children and took them in and trained them to fight alongside them. Nihad becomes a sniper and searches for his mother. He becomes crazed with war but is refused the chance to become a martyr by the warlord. He returns to Daresh as a sniper and is eventually captured by the enemy. They turn him to their side and train him to be a prison torturer. He is sent to the Kfar Ryat prison where Simon's mother was held. The warlord reveals that Nihad adopts the name Abou Tareq.
Having discovered that their father is their half-brother, they find out that he too had moved to Canada. They find him, and deliver the letters from their mother—one for the father and one for the son. We learn that after many years living in Canada, while swimming in a pool, Nawal had spotted a man with a tattooed heel. She approaches him and although he does not recognise her, she realises upon seeing his face that he was her rapist in prison, and also her long lost son. She suffers a stroke from the shock and eventually dies, giving instructions to her employer, a notary, about the letters and instructions for her children. Their task fulfilled, the children are now allowed to leave an engraved headstone at her grave.
Her first son, Nihad, having read the letters, realises what he had done to his own mother, and visits her grave.

Incendies received extremely positive reviews from critics. Kevin N. Laforest of the Montreal Film Journal gave it 3.5 stars out of 4 and wrote, "Villeneuve has done his best work yet here."[12] The Gazette 's Brendan Kelly gave the film a rare 5 out of 5 stars and called it a "masterpiece." The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports 92% positive reviews based on 118 reviews with an average score of 7.9/10.[13] The film also has a score of 82 on metacritic based on 34 reviews[14]
Both Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper picked the film as their favorites to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.[15][16] However, it lost to In a Better World from Denmark.
On 22 September 2010, Incendies was chosen to represent Canada at the 83rd Academy Awards in the category of Best Foreign Language Film.[17] It made the shortlist on 19 January 2011, one of nine films and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film on 25 January 2011.[18][19]

Thanks for sharing, it's very interesting.
|dianalo, I think both the granite and stainless rollls can be ordered through that website. I didn't see it at first, you have to scroll down toward the bottom.

|Imagine this in an Airstream trailer!
Looks like there are at least two "stone" patterns, one with very large grain. The smaller grain might work for rehab for lake cabins, etc. where the scale of the countertops could not tolerate the big pattern. Or just go for the "stainless."
We have a beat-up section in our camper trailer where the "wood" is peeling off. I could just turn it into a different faux substance instead of trying to reglue parts and fill in the gaps with Old English polish.
I wonder if it would stick to the weathered wooden wings on an outdoor grill. For $20 or so I could have a good time finding out.

Vinyl siding is durable and easily cleaned. It just takes some elbow grease, or a high-powered pressure washer! Either way, read up on how to best clean vinyl.
Contractors say homeowners with this trait are the most satisfied with home improvement projects.
Want your home's cedar shake siding to last as long as possible? Make sure it's properly treated, stained or painted. And follow these expert suggestions.
Angie's Answers
Call and ask your contractors these questions. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It is your money and home. I would ask for references and take a look at samples of their work (especially the low bidder). Make sure all are licensed and carry the required insurance. You don't want to get a bad stucco job, so do your homework first before selecting a contractor; which may not be one of these. Check with your local building department and local building exchange for more references on these and other contractors. Good luck.
Both choices have plusses and minuses.
I am partial to vinyl siding myself if it is put on by a contractor that pays attention to details in sealing against water intrusion. The better grades of vinyl stand up to the weater very well. The siding on my own home is over 15 years old and shows no signs of fading or any changes due to sun exposure and have had no problems with water entry around windows or doors. It does not dent like the old aluminum siding did or break if hit by a ball or a rock thrown by a lawnmower. As long as you save a few extra panels even if a rock was to be broken by something like a rock it is easier to repair. I will add that the earlier vinyl sidings did tend to fade but I have seen homes I sided after putting additions on that were done 20+ years ago and they look fine. Those closer to the 30 year mark not as good on the fading though. I gennerally never use the cheaper panels though so I can not vouch for them but I think that as long as it is one of the better manufaturers it seems to be just panel thickness. Just a personal opinion but if you are looking for added insulation I would use one of the 4X8 or 2X8 panels rather than the insulated siding. I can not see how insulation on the back of each panel with all the joints can do much more than stiffen the panels and I would think it would hamper the movement of the panels with changes in temperature.
As for Hardi or any of the other fibre cement sidings it is way more costly and relys on caulk or tar paper strips between the panels to seal out water. It is not very forgiving on install mistakes and must be done perfectly to get the full Hardi warranty. I was just involved with a job where the contractor did not put a few pieces of flashing in properly and his guys lapped a corner board incorrectly and the Hardi lifetime warranty was void. Another thing I did not like is that it is put in with a blind nailing method and even though this house was done to specs in this area of the install the bottom of the siding was not tight to the lower courses in many spots. They did install it to the maximum exposure and I believe if they had gone to a larger panel or even lessened the exposure by 1/2" it probably would have been fine. The other thing I saw was the paint seems to be prone to scratching durring install and to me the house looked like it needed a paint job even though siding was new. I do think that if painted after install a paint job would last many years as the product is very stable and does not expand and contract much. The one big plus I see is it tend to HELP in and area prone to fires such as some ares out West. I put the word help in capitals because it will not fireproof the home but may stop ignition from sparks and moderate heat exposure.
Alside is the far superior siding. Another option with the Alside is the Center Lock panel. It locks in the center of the panel, eliminating wind blow-offs,has a 3/4 inch profile, and carries the same warranty as the Charter Oak

Siding reviews in Chadbourn
Apex was quick to send out a field supervisor to assess the damage to give me a quote. The field supervisor made sure that he was present to assist my insurance adjuster and made sure that the adjuster did not overlook any damage.
Once my insurance company cleared the paperwork, Apex had their roofing crew there within a week. The roofing crew made sure to put tarps over my shrubbery and flower gardens. they were quick tearing off the damaged shingles and they managed to get all of the old material into a dump trailer without making a huge mess in the yard. Once the roof was re-shingled, they used leaf blowers to clear the roof and gutters, they rolled up their tarps, picked up any debris left behind and then ran a magnetic sweeper through the entire yard to ensure that there were no nails left behind.
The siding crew arrived on schedule in June and completed their work quickly. There were a couple of mistakes made by the siding crew that was resolved quickly by the field supervisor.
I got to watch my entire subdivision get repaired and I was able to compare the work done by
One of the company's owners came to do an estimate of the work, in advance of sending the workers. He indicated that it would likely take two workers all day to remove the window, do the restoration, then replace the window, and repaint all the new siding. Then he gave me what I took as a worst case scenario price, that I thought looked very fair for all that work, which I assumed would require scaffolding, etc. To have that maximum, worst case price gave me great comfort, and I really looked forward to the guys coming.
A few weeks passed, and with every rain, I started worrying again. With their half-off special, I figured they must have gotten fairly backed up. I finally called them again, and the office worker who answered indicated that they would be coming in the next couple of days. Then one morning,
I was thrilled. I figured the package I purchased for up to four hours for one worker would cover ALL the labor. We had enjoyed a BEST CASE scenario. I figured we'd need to pay for the materials of course, but that had been estimated to be around $100, so I thought we had really lucked out.
Then the price tag was presented.
It was not a pleasant conversation, though I was - on my end. It made me feel that the whole half-off deal was just nonsense. His "estimate" made sure that they would charge much more than even their "normal" rates. If the job had taken the two guys, the scaffold, and most of the day, I would have been very happy to pay even their normal prices - never mind the "deal" I had pre-paid. After a long unhappy conversation, I finally persuaded the owner to allow me, based on their supposed regular prices, to have me pay him for two hours of his own travel time to come to do the estimate, PLUS two hours travel AND actual work time for the worker, plus materials. Not such a great deal - based on what I had thought was the proposition. But it was worth it - given
I will gladly hire the company again - assuming
of the job-site which I provided via email. He never provided a
quote. If someone is not interested in a job, at the minimum, they
should be courteous enough to let you know that they are not interested."
