Pitched midway between Syriana and Speed, Traitor attempts to combine the high-octane thrills of a Bourne-esque conspiracy thriller with a treatise on the complexities of covert counter-espionage.
That's a difficult balancing act to pull off, as Ridley Scott discovered last year with Body Of Lies. And while you have to applaud writer-director Jeffrey Nachmanoff for trying, you can't help feeling slick entertainments like this aren't really the best way to probe thorny geopolitical realities.
Constructed around a couple of fairly foreseeable twists, Nachmanoff's movie tells of former US operative Samir (Don Cheadle, driven and intense), who appears to have gone dangerously renegade. When we first meet Samir – a Muslim from Senegal who saw his dad blown up when he was a kid – he is trying to flog second-hand Semtex to some Yemeni extremists.
Before he can do so, the buy is raided and he winds up behind bars with charismatic Jihadist Omar (Saïd Taghmaoui). Before long they've become firm friends, Samir happily signing up to a future of globe-trotting anti-Americanism. Things are rarely that simple, of course, as thoughtful FBI guy Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce, sporting a pitch-perfect Southern accent) discovers when he delves into Cheadle's shady motivations…
With Samir's estranged girlfriend (Archie Panjabi), a sleek, Osama-style mastermind and a CIA agent (Jeff Daniels) also thrown into the mix, not to mention an extended sequence in the slammer that plays like an Arab version of The Shawshank Redemption, there's a lot of treachery and double-cross to cram into a fast-paced two hours. But it's all just a front – this is actually a rather simplistic yarn that requires its villains to be as gullible and incompetent as its protagonist is devious and morally conflicted. If al-Qaeda really was as shambolic as this shower, we'd have had them licked a decade ago.
Neil Smith
Strong turns from Cheadle and Pearce elevate an ambitious suspenser with a keen eye for the duplicities that propel the War On Terror. The risible ending, alas, is pure wish-fulfillment hokum, while the solitary female character is barely a cipher.

Junior defensive tackle Derrell Hand was suspended indefinitely on Friday according to Michael Rothstein of the Fort Wayne Journal.
Notre Dame junior defensive lineman Derrell Hand has been suspended indefinitely from the Irish football team for an undisclosed violation of team rules, Irish coach Charlie Weis announced Friday afternoon. (Irish Insights)
No reason was given by the University for the suspension and it's likely that one will never be disclosed unless Hand himself reveals it publicly. There were some rumors floating around Friday night about the situation, but until something is officially reported, I'll refrain from posting them here out of respect for Hand and the University.
I'll have some more insight into what this means in an article I'm writing for the main site which will be posted in a little while, but its suffice to that this news is really not the way Notre Dame needed to start fall camp. Defensive line is already a very thin position this year and if Hand were to miss the 2007 season, or worse, an already thin position just got thinner.
Update: The rumors floating around last night have proven to be true as the South Bend Tribune reported Saturday that Hand was arrested for soliciting a prostitute. Based on this news, its hard to imagine Hand suiting up for Notre Dame this season, if ever. Obviously this is not a good situation for anyone involved and as I said yesterday, this puts Notre Dame is a precarious situation along the defensive line.

1. as a great admirer of notre dame and of almost everything that notre dame strives to do, i will be rooting for hand.
2. this young man came from a family that is not wealthy and from a high school football program that was not that great.
3. hand worked very hard in the classroom to become a real student at notre dame and in the weight room and on the practice field to become a real football player.
4. with all of the fine things that notre dame has done and strives to do, that grand inquisitorial student discliplinary system which suspends from nd anyone accused of anything whatsoever is the one remaining cancer that keeps students and recruits away from notre dame and keeps nd away from true greatness.
5. after all, in the current nd system, unless it has been changed since it suspendedkyle mcalarney and nearly drove him away from notre dame, everyone accused is presumed guilty just because they are accused and are burned at the stake for trivial mistakes that almost everyone makes in the process of growing up.
6. if you look at the names from the past, you will find rossbrowner and many others among the victims of the grand inquisitors.
7. virtually every victim comes from a poor family and the victims are severelyracially and economically scewed.
7. on the otherside, you have the usc type systems, in which the recruits and students know coming in that they have get out of jail for free cards. after all, usc has traditionnally controlled the la county da's office which always decides not to prosecute even those who nearly beat fellow students to death.
8. looking at notre dame from the point of view of a student or student athlete picking a school, we can understand why many would reject notre dame in favor of boston college and stanford and other schools which have disciplinary systems that operate on the principles that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. that everyone is entitled to due process of law, and that every young person makes some mistakes on the road to becoming mature and should not be burned at the stake for a victimless crime such as the one that hand is accused of.
9. one of the recruits who chose illinois over notre dame in 2007 put it this way" notre dame is a school for rich kids."
10. let's face it, if hand were from a well to do family, he would have a car, money to go out on dates, and other amentitiesand he never would have been out on the streets.
11. until notre dame pulls its disciplinary system out of the inquisition and into something fair, i am afraid that the jesuit schools and others that have disciplinary systems consistent with due process of law and giving a young person a second chance if that personmakes a victimless mistake are simply a betteroption for most fine students and fine student athletes.
12. i will be praying for hand and for notre dame.keep up the great work,
bob gilleran[Reply]

Wasps and Cold
Name: Bill Status: other Grade: other Location: Outside U.S. Country: USA Date: Fall 2011
Why are wasps so active in late Oct. They seem to be looking to find a place to hide. Also, what happens to wasps over the winter? Do they die from cold?
Yellow jacket and bald faced hornets, the most common social wasps, build up numbers in their colonies through the summer, and peak in fall, so more of them may be seen. All except the queen will die over winter. Queens hibernate in some sheltered place to start a new colony in the spring. Many other species of wasps are mostly solitary, some females hibernate over winter, most males die.

Selena admits in a brand-new cover interview for 'Elle' that Justin is a hopeless romantic! Find out how he keeps their relationship hot and spicy — and see Selena's sexy new photos!
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez may be separated by an ocean right now, but Selena admits to the July 2012 issue of Elle that Justin's romantic side is what keeps her coming back for more!
Justin once rented out Los Angeles' Staples Center on Sept. 23 for a private screening of Titanic! Selena and Justin had the arena all to themselves as they cuddled and watched the nearly three-hour movie!
When asked of the screening, Selena couldn't help but gush how romantic Justin really is! "If I'll share anything with you, it's that he really is a hopeless romantic. I had just mentioned it in the car – all I said is that I really want to see Titanic again, and then."
Let's not forget that Miley Cyrus tweeted a photo of herself wearing a random engagement ring back in March, and now she's REALLY engaged! So girls, guys do listen and take hints!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you a fan of Justin renting out an entire arena for a romantic date?

Love how justin and Selena are good together. love how justin is very hopeless romantic with Selena. he really does love her. I love how Justin is very protective of her. I love how Justin always think of Selena. He's very sweet to her. I hope they last a long time. they belong together. I love how Justin and Selena are a such a cute couple. I can't see them with another else. Love how jJustin and Selena are good to each other. Always holding hand Just stare at her. she's his everything to him. Stalkrazzi go way overboard with celebs. They need to atleast stand far way from celebs. Fans to ask the most personal and dumbest questions to celeb. I don't think celebs want to be ask the same question over and over. I think fans should ask about there upcoming projects and music. and not about there personal lives I swear media go way overboard with what celebs said. they didn't even say that. I would think celebs want to be treated normal as possible and not bomboard them with questions from the stalkrazzi and Fans. especially the Stalkrazzi they scuritze evberything and no wonder celebs can't stand them. they are to in your face. and ask the most dumbest question. IF i was them. I would ask Stalkrazzi about there lives. and ask them the most intimate questions. see how they like it. asking dumbest questions.

Do you remember when the idea of making movies seemed like a far away dream? Do you remember when you first got the idea for your movie? Do you remember Your first day of production? Do you remember your first screening and how well everyone loved your work?
Movie Distribution Company Pipe Dream
With DVD sales down, the traditional utilization of middle-men like sales agents and distribution companies is changing. The ripple effect of this is less traditional distribution deals for filmmakers. Take a look at the music industry, and you'll soon see that it is a matter of time until all movies will be available for download or viewing at the push of a button.
Filmmaker David Allen Talks Modern Moviemaking and VOD Distribution
Earlier this week, I caught wind of an indie production company based in Australia called Rapidfire Productions. This is a production company that operates as a self sustaining modern moviemaking business. They develop movies, get money, make their movies and through their own distribution arm, the company reaches the masses.
7 Step Filmmaking Formula For Selling Your Movie Online
As a feature filmmaker, one of the biggest problems YOU have is finding a traditional distribution deal (that actually makes sense) for your movie. With each passing day, we get closer and closer to a world where DVD sales channels are being replaced by video on demand. And while we are not there yet, after spending the greater part of last weekend watching streaming content on NetFlix and Hulu, I am now of the opinion that the days of DVD distribution are numbered.
Refine Your Trailer
Take a look at your trailer. Is your trailer congruent with your hook and the marketing elements we covered earlier? If not, I suggest you recut and refine your trailer to make sure your marketing message is consistent. In doing this you will have to find the balance between showing enough to sell your movie and giving away so much that you spoil the story. And since your movie trailer will be posted on various websites, you should also add a title card with a link to your movie website.
Writing a screenplay-hold that template!
Or it may be that in the middle of my script things drag along too slowly–a common problem of first drafts. In that case, reminding myself that the traditional story model calls for escalating conflict can lead to better consideration of how I can add incidents that ramp up the tension and drama.
Filmmaking Is Just Like Making Widgets
If we think about it, widgets run our moviemaking; Think about our cameras and our equipment and the computer (or mobile device) the enables us to read these words. Now think of the companies and factories that produce these widgets, and the widgets that create the cars that drive the widget production team to work.
New Filmmaking Service For Video On Demand Movie Distribution
For those of you visiting Filmmaking Stuff for the first time, my name is Jason Brubaker. I'm an LA based indie producer and an expert in modern VOD distribution. In a nut-shell, I help filmmakers get their movies listed, seen (and selling) through popular VOD outlets, like iTunes.

Balancing the need to produce clean domestic energy and protecting lands that are home to critical water sources, wildlands, wildlife and many other values requires a thoughtful approach.
A new rule will protect proposed renewable energy sites from conflicting mining development on public lands in the Western states, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) said at the end of April.
Righting the Ship: Renewable Energy on Public Lands
The Public Lands and Renewable Energy Act of 2011 creates a framework for developing renewable energy on public lands in an environmentally‐sound and efficient way.
It's pretty clear that climate change will have a host of victims, from coastal communities and cities, to drought-stricken plains states.
Already it is affecting the breakfast table, harming production of maple syrup and coffee.
Statement from Chase Huntley, director of renewable energy policy, The Wilderness Society on the House-passed Continuing Resolution:
This week, National Journal has a very interesting topic for its Energy & Environment blog series: Where does energy fit into President Obama's jobs plan?

If you need some ideas for what toys to get the kids on your list this year, the 2013 Toy of the Year nominees is a pretty good place to start. Picked by the Toy Industry Association, these are some of the hottest, fun and most innovative toys on the shelves this holiday shopping season.
The industry picked 84 different toys in 12 different categories. That's a lot of toys to go through, so I went ahead and made a virtual "toy chest" of what I think are the best of the best, based on some clear biases I have as a 30-year-old nerdy new father of a one-month old. I haven't played with any of these toys and my ideas are not reinforced by experience; my kid can barely grab a giraffe ring, let alone choose between a "4-D puzzle" and the Playmobil E-Rangers Headquarters.
But I like toys that encourage kids to move around. I like toys that are intellectually fun and make you get creative.
I'm skeptical of toys with a long list of all the discrete skills they supposedly teach, and toys that replace imagination with electronics for no good reason. I also looked for that "wow" factor that will light up a kids eye's when they open up the package.
You can see the full list over at toyawards.org and vote for which ones you think are the best. The toy with the most reader votes will receive "The People's Choice Award." As an incentive, when you vote, you also enter for a chance to win every single toy in one of the voting categories. That'll take care of your holiday shopping pretty quick!
Here are my picks for each category:
Crayola Digital Light Designer
It's a LITE-BRITE on a cone! Draw the lights on the surface with a special electronic pen and animate your creation.
HEXBUG® Warriors Battling Robots Battle Stadium
Whirring battlebots clang and bang against each other in this curvy stadium, using vibrations to knock each other from green to red. Because it's never too early to start learning chaos theory.
A robot ball you control with your smartphone or tablet and when you look at it on your device, appears to be a beaver hungry for cupcakes. You toss the cupcakes to him on the device and then move the real ball in real life, by tilting and turning your device, to catch them.
The followup to last year's smash hit LeapPad. Like the iPad it's modeled after, the second generation of the device adds a camera and more power. It's a book-sized all-encompassing child entrancement device. Sure to save many a car ride from an epic meltdown.
A 3-D maze puzzle inside a sphere. Literally mind-bending.
Disney Princess Cinderella Magic Lights Dress
Motion-activated lights on this princess dress encourage the child wearing it to dance, spin, and jump around. Princesses aren't static sleeping beauties or demure ladies in waiting anymore, they go on adventures! Accessorize with a pair of light-up sneakers.
Kind of like training wheels for Duplos, this set features pre-cut animal shapes that help little ones assemble their first block creations. The colors are bright and awesome, too, and I love the big eyes.
Nerf Firevision Sports Football
It always stunk, or stung, when it got too dark outside to continue tossing the football in the backyard. But with the NERF Sports FIREVISION Football, just put on the special glasses and it lights up with a 100-foot range glow.
A 3-wheeled Go-Kart with big wheels for sturdy riding. Kind of a souped up Big Wheel for the 21st century, with more precise handling, and handles. Speaking of Big Wheels, if the $199.99 price tag for the YBIKE is too "off the road" for your budget, you can't go wrong with the reintroduction of the classic Big Wheel for $59.99, also in this product category.
Doc McStuffins "Time For Your Check-Up" Doll
If the kid on your list is a fan of this Disney Junior animated series, which is laudable for featuring female ethnic doctor (who's 6 and heals stuffed animals and toys), this is a sweet and cool interactive toy. With her bedazzled stethoscope and tools, Doc McStuffins listens to her friend Lambie's heart and her magical toys make Lambie talk. This toy also has the added benefit of hopefully making the kid more compliant and less freaked-out the next time they see the doctor.
After a long hiatus, the heroes in a half-shell are in a new reboot, and it actually looks cool. As a fan of the Turtles, even more so after I discovered the edgy underground comics that were their origin, all I can say is...TURTLE POWER!
Duct-tape wallets seem to get rediscovered by each generation of kids. Here's a kit for making them, along with headbands, belts, and more out of neon duct-tape. How cool is that?
Check out the other finalists at toyawards.org and sound off in the comments which ones you think should be the winners.

Sorry for digging up an old thread but i will be attempting to fit the DRL myself one i get them, that guide on ebay with american english is terrible. WTF is a parking light? i will have to go through the FOC guide in details once i have the DRL but both guides look very different. i will also purchase the Splitter, it looks sick!
I have always thought that zetec S front lower skirt looked a little bit out of place, the front splitter completes it.
I am a noob with any sort of car painting spraying and this may be a daft question but how does one paint the grills gloss black? I can't seem to get my head around how such a rough surface can become so well glossed. I am even considering investing in some sort of painting kit to do my mods to my satisfaction. All in the future planning i will start a build thread once i get a hold of my parts with some pics etc
Like yourself kurt i am thinking of doing the same with the fog surrounds and top and bottom grills no expert on spraying by a long shot have done bits and pieces in the past which are well within the scope of ametures like us i do know if your spraying platics you have to coat them in plasticoat first this stops the paint peeling straight off gives it a base to adhere to the part i find hard is getting the gloss affect with the laquer top coats .

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Wild ride continues for resilient Wildcats
Monday, December 9, 2013
ORONO, Maine – The performance wasn't as impressive as the previous two weeks, but it was good enough.
UNH also had three sacks to make it 18 in the last three games. "They're a really, really good third-down team," Wasilewski said. "You look at the stats and that's when teams struggle with them." The Wildcats have been good recently on money downs on both sides of the ball. They went 7 for 14 on third down Saturday, and a combined 13 for 29 the previous two games. The defense essentially gave up 13 points on one touchdown and two field goals Saturday. The first TD came on a kick return and the last with less than a minute left was window dressing. "We just knew that we had to run around and try to get 11 hats to the ball and stay gap sound and stay on our assignments," Anderson said. Corners Casey DeAndrade and Steven Thames had interceptions for UNH. They also had a game-high two pass break-ups apiece. DeAndrade leads the CAA in that category and is ranked second nationally. Sean McCann and Jullian Turner had sacks. Anderson and Shane McNeely combined for the other.
"You're seeing it in practice and in games," said coach Sean McDonnell. "That's important. Our young kids are growing up. That's been a big plus for us."
"These are the games we look forward to," Anderson said. "They give us another chance to prove who we are. We embrace hostile situations."

BlackBerry maker unveiled a new apple iphones 4 operating system and a new line of phones Wednesday, along with a new corporate name, with the hope of restoring its products status as a symbol of executive cool.
Analysts, technology reviewers and app developers with advance access to the BlackBerry Z10 and the BlackBerry 10 operating system have said it is the company first competitive touchscreen phone. But BlackBerry 10 arrives long after Apple iPhone and phones using Google Android operating system have come to dominate the smartphone market that the BlackBerry effectively created. According to IDC, BlackBerry now holds just 4.6 percent of that market, about onetenth of its historic peak.
To emphasize the changes brought by apple iphones 4 the new operating system, Thorsten Heins, who took over as chief executive a year ago, said the company, known until now as Research in Motion, had adopted BlackBerry as its corporate name. Its Nasdaq trading symbol will become BBRY, and it will trade as BB in Toronto.
In addition to the BlackBerry Z10 phone, there will be a second model, the Q10, that includes one of the line signature physical keyboards.
Verizon Wireless announced that it would apple iphones 4 price the Z10 at $200 with a twoyear contract. It will also be carried by AT Sprint and TMobile.
"Today represents a new day in the history of BlackBerry, Heins said. BlackBerry 10 devices are absolutely the best typing experiences in the industry. said the Z10 would be available in the United States in March and in Canada on Feb. 5.
There were few surprises in the initial portion of Heins presentation at an event in New York. The company began demonstrating the touchscreen phone and operating system in May and also made prototypes available to app developers at the time. and European technology websites.
Physically, the Z10 resembles an iPhone 5 with its corners snipped off.
But unlike its competitors, the Z10 lacks a button to take users back to a home page and relies entirely on users swiping their fingers across the 4.2inch screen from different directions to summon features or menus.
While the Z10 lacks a physical keyboard, the main attraction of BlackBerrys for many current users, the company said that it had developed software which should alleviate some of the inadequacies of onscreen typing. According to BlackBerry, its software studies users common typing mistakes over time and then starts automatically correcting them. It will also build up a list of commonly used words and offer them as suggestions that can be selected with a flick of a finger.
While developing the new operating system, the company took great pains to improve its strained relationship with app developers. The operating system was also designed in a way that allows them to adapt Android apps for BlackBerry 10 by making some relatively minor modifications.
BlackBerry said Wednesday that more than 70,000 BlackBerry 10 apps were now available.
For corporate and government users, BlackBerry apple iphones 4 10 server software will allow them to divide employees BlackBerry 10 phones into separate work and personal spheres and give IT managers complete control over the former.

This will be used as yet another reason to ban evil assault weapons, though none were used...
This is a discussion on Oh boy, here we go... within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; This will be used as yet another reason to ban evil assault weapons, though none were used... http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013...n-chicago?lite...
This will be used as yet another reason to ban evil assault weapons, though none were used...
It could be worse!
I suppose
Oh, for sure this will make the main stream for days. It fits right in to their narrative.
Poor girl, she sounds like a sweetheart. Chicago better get a handle on it's thugs. Instead it works on getting a handle on law abiding citizens.
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
That's really sad. Hope they will eventually realize gun control isn't the issue.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable- JFK
I am obviously not endorsing this, but this story should actually be used by the antis as justification for banning handguns and not "assault weapons." Obummer admitted it in one of the Presidential debates that the problem in Chicago is not AK-47s, but handguns. If the antis were really serious about cutting down on gun violence they should be going after everything thing but the "assault weapons" but an AWB creates such emotionalism that plays well on TV and really looks like the gun banners are trying to do some noble thing. It's the low hanging fruit argument. We all know that is a bunch of bunk because a very small percentage of gun crime is committed with long guns much less "assault weapons."
They need gun control in Chicago.

ICAC probe claims Sinodinos
PUBLISHED: 19 Mar 2014 08:15:00 | UPDATED: 20 Mar 2014 05:57:43PUBLISHED: 20 Mar 2014 PRINT EDITION: 19 Mar 2014Phillip Coorey Chief political correspondent
Prime Minister Tony Abbott declared Arthur Sinodinos will return to the ministry after the senator stood down as assistant treasurer in the face of a corruption inquiry, disrupting the government's budget plans in the process.
Following the first ministerial scalp of the Abbott government, Labor switched its pursuit to Mr Abbott's judgement and handling of the matter.
It questioned why Senator Sinodinos was appointed to the ministry when the government knew he would be called to give evidence to an Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry into a company of which he was once chairman and which was part-owned by notorious Labor figure Eddie Obeid.
Some Liberals, who warned Mr Abbott when he assembled his first ministry there could be problems for the government once the corruption inquiry began, were also asking questions.
Senator Sinodinos, one of the Coalition's leading economic and political brains, maintained his innocence and said he was stepping aside for the good of the government.
"I do not want this sideshow to be an unnecessary distraction to the important work of the government which I am proud to serve," he said.
"While this process is under way I will therefore be standing aside as assistant treasurer.
"I thank my colleagues for their strong support and for their ongoing faith in my integrity."
The Nationals were starting to exploit the issue ahead of the April 5 Senate re-election in Western Australia by appealing to conservative voters wary about problems with the Liberal Party to vote Nationals.
On Tuesday, Mr Abbott declared he had full faith in Senator Sinodinos. On Wednesday, he indicated he believed the senator would be cleared for a return to the frontbench.
"The important thing is that Senator Sinodinos has done the right and decent thing," Mr Abbott said. "I'm proud of him and I'm looking forward to his restoration to the ministry."
Senator Sinodinos has twice made statements to Parliament defending himself against any wrongdoing when he simultaneously was NSW Liberal Party president and shareholder and chairman of Australian Water Holdings, the company part-owned by Mr Obeid and the subject of an ICAC inquiry.
'Fully answer questions'
When pressed by Opposition Leader Bill Shorten over whether Senator Sinodinos had given "a full and accurate account" to the Parliament, Mr Abbott declined to answer.
He said Senator Sinodinos would "fully answer questions" when called before ICAC as a witness.
Liberal sources said it could be weeks or months before he returned to the frontbench.
Senator Sinodinos visited Mr Abbott in his office at about 11.30am, where it was agreed his presence in the ministry would create a distraction and it was best he step aside until the ICAC hearings were finished and he was presumably cleared.
His ministerial colleagues, Treasurer Joe Hockey and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann, were told about an hour before Senator Sinodinos announced his decision to the Senate at 2pm.
A former Treasury economist and chief of staff to John Howard when he was prime minister, Senator Sinodinos was Mr Abbott's assistant treasurer.
His stepping aside means he has to relinquish his role as a member of the budget razor gang, or the Expenditure Review Committee of Cabinet, which makes key budget decisions.
With the government preparing its first budget for delivery on May 13, Coalition sources said the process would be inconvenienced and everyone's workload would increase.
As a sign of faith, Mr Abbott is keeping the ministerial spot vacant. In the interim Senator Cormann will absorb most of Mr Sinodinos's responsibilities.
These duties include trying to usher through the Senate the Future of Financial Advice legislation which was introduced to the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
ICAC has heard that in 2008, when Senator Sinodinos was a board member at Australian Water Holdings, he stood to gain up to $20 million if a deal between AWH, which was part-owned by Mr Obeid, and state-owned Sydney Water was approved.
He never did. He resigned from Australian Water Holding in 2011 and the next year AWH signed a $100 million deal with Sydney Water.
Unaware of Obeid link
At the same time Senator Sinodinos was on the board, he was president of the NSW Liberal Party.
He said he was unaware that Mr Obeid was linked to AWH or aware of a $75,000 donation AWH made to the NSW Liberal party or any other individual donations.
The NSW Liberal Party said this week it was refunding the "tainted" donation.
Mr Shorten said Mr Abbott had failed in Parliament to answer why he stood by Senator Sinodinos on Tuesday but not Wednesday. Nor would Mr Abbott answer questions about what discussions he had had with Senator Sinodinos and his role with AWH.
"It's not my job to provide a running commentary on private conversations," Mr Abbott said.
Mr Shorten said the Prime Minister "has consistently dodged questions about what he knew about this affair and when he knew it".
"The Prime Minister knows more about this affair than he's telling Australians," he said.
"He is shirking his own responsibilities as leader and the tests he has set for himself about accountability."
Labor does not believe Senator Sinodinos did not know the company of which he was chairman was donating to a political party of which he was the president.
"The Independent Commission Against Corruption has made a number of statements that fly in the face of assertions made by Senator Sinodinos in this chamber," Labor Senate leader Penny Wong said.
Just before Senator Sinodinos stood down, Mr Howard vouched for the character of his former chief of staff.
"Arthur Sinodinos is a man of great integrity and ability," he said.

18-year-old photographer Olivia Bee's works—youthful and utopian, yet bravely intimate with a lovely gossamer effect—are what we imagine might result if Nan Goldin and Ryan McGinley's film cross-developed. This gorgeous and distinctive aesthetic has brands like Hermès, Subaru, Levi's, and Converse commissioning her to shoot campaigns, which means Bee is on the road a lot. We asked her to document her travels in the form of a photo diary and, yes, her life is as just dreamy as you might expect.
"I think we all want to be someone's angel."
"Sometimes in the mornings [my boyfriend] Cooper doesn't want to get out of bed and tugs on my robe, using it as a little tent to capture me and to lure me back to our blankets. When we first started spending time together, we climbed into a duvet cover and there was pink light outside. Whenever we make a tent out of anything, it reminds me of those moments spent inside that duvet cover."
LEFT: "Me and Cooper in the morning, all curled up."
RIGHT: "This is my view out the window on my flight home from L.A. last week. I woke up and the sky was full of Technicolor pastels."
"Me staring into my camera after I had awoken amongst blankets and skin. Dreaming with my eyes open, maybe."
"Me and Cooper in New York. We matched that day, baseball caps and all."
LEFT: "On the way to New York. Reminds me of a common home."
RIGHT: "I took this photograph in New York and originally thought it was completely white. Later, I looked at it closer and it turned out that a light rendition of Cooper with speckles had been there all along. You can't tell who it is a photograph of, but you can tell that it was taken with love."

Its Banned Books Week, a celebration of the freedom to read and first amendment rights.
In Marietta, Barking Dog Books and Art co-owner Marianne Monaghan says its an important event in the literary world.
This year weve got a big front window with a banned books display and we always mention it in our newsletters we just try to draw attention to it in whatever way we can, says Monaghan.
So, what is a banned book? She says they include books that have been banned from school or public libraries due to objections over their content.
There are also some that dont actually get banned, they get challenged, but its the same kind of idea there are objections to its content, explains Monaghan. Its not necessarily an attempt by the government, but an attempt by individuals who object to the books.
We asked Monaghan whether she believes books should ever be banned.
Part of living in a free society is learning how to make decisions based on as much information as possible and as wide as experience as possible in whats to be read, says Monaghan.
She does note she would personally object to selling or making available books that would cause others physical harm, such as a book instructing how to make a bomb. I would draw the line at something that might be dangerous.
Marianne Monaghan encourages everyone to read a banned book
this week. For a list of famous banned
novels, click the following link: American Literary Association's Top 100 Challenged and/or Banned Novels of the 20th Century.

Federal agents found that the four spent shell casings matched a box of ammunition Zarabozo had bought in February 2007. They also found an empty handcuff box at his mother's house, and authorities assumed that a small key found aboard the Joe Cool fit a pair of handcuffs.
Local and national reporters swarmed Zarabozo's mother's house. She spoke briefly to America TeVe about how her son met Archer in Cuba. Neighbors told newspaper reporters that Zarabozo was a quiet kid who would never harm anyone.
In Miami, Jake's family began to learn of the horror aboard the Joe Cool. So did Kelley's: In Kalamazoo, Donna Van Laar was making a batch of peanut butter cookies when her husband, David, came up from the basement saying, "I just saw Kelley's picture on TV."
The Coast Guard, they would all soon learn, had abandoned the search for bodies after just three days.
U.S. District Judge Paul Huck's court, on the tenth floor of the federal building in downtown Miami, has dark mahogany walls, heavy curtains, rust-colored carpet, and seven round art deco chandeliers. It's an uncomfortably cold room. Huck is best-known for overseeing the trial of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, whom he sentenced to five years in prison in the SunCruz casino fraud case in 2006. Global media attention returned to his courtroom when Archer and Zarabozo were charged with murdering the Joe Cool's crew.
When the two men file in for a December hearing, Huck doesn't look up.
Five lawyers represent the two men — three for Zarabozo and two for Archer. Federal lockup has not been kind to Archer: His spine looks like it's been bent into a c shape, and his eyes are narrowed to slits. His once-frosted hair has returned to its natural dull brown. He still has the goatee. He appears to be smirking. Zarabozo looks fresh, tall, and strapping, with latte-colored skin and a neatly trimmed buzz cut. He smiles at his lawyers and at his mother and sister and seems both eager and naive.
Huck and the lawyers debate the admissibility of the snitch's account. Zarabozo and the snitch are both represented by the federal public defender's office, which poses a conflict of interests, prosecutors contend. Greater snags are anticipated as the state attempts to try murder cases without any bodies (although it does have DNA from the blood found on the boat). The trial most likely is still months away. When the hearing ends, Archer is led from the courtroom by federal agents. He passes within a few feet of the Zarabozo family but does not look at them. Guillermo Zarabozo grins, however, and gives his mom a thumb's-up.
A week later and not far away, on the 23rd floor of the county courthouse, Judge Sandy Karlan tries to determine where Taylor and Morgan Branam will live now that their parents have been murdered. There are more lawyers involved here and even more complexities than in the federal murder case. That's partly because Kelley's mom, Leanne, has asked for custody of the little girl and boy, along with Kelley's sister Genny Van Laar. So has their great-grandmother, Jeannette Branam, and her son Jeff. And their great-grandfather, Jeannette's ex, Harry Branam, is also seeking custody.
Currently, Taylor and Morgan are shuttled every four days between Star Island, where Jeannette lives, and Harry's Venetian Isle condo. Leanne and Genny fly in from out of state each month to visit.
The discussion winds in circles, spurred by questions from the judge and six lawyers: Has Leanne filed the proper motions? Will there be a background check of Harry Branam Sr.'s girlfriend, Maria? Is Jeannette too old to care for kids? Should they spend more time on Star Island?
Morgan isn't old enough to know what's going on, reports a court-appointed guardian, but Taylor's full of questions.
"She just turned 3," Karlan says, looking at a file. "I don't know what she understands about 'never again.' "
There are still other issues: Harry and Jeannette Branam have each filed motions containing nasty allegations of past substance abuse as well as bad behavior during their divorce.
"I don't intend to retry the divorce between Harry and Jeannette. Is everybody clear on that?" Karlan says sharply.
At the end of the hearing, Karlan orders psychological evaluations for everyone in the family. Taylor must see a therapist regularly as well; the little girl keeps telling everyone that she needs to return to Star Island "because Mommy and Daddy are coming home."
Leanne, meanwhile, is still trying to find her daughter — somewhere beneath the waves. She has contacted Texas Equusearch, the search-and-recovery outfit that looked for missing U.S. teen Natalee Holloway near Aruba for no charge in 2006 and 2007. Equusearch needs a boat for its equipment, however, and no one has donated a big enough vessel so far, which is making Leanne crazy. "Isn't my daughter as important as Natalee Holloway?" she asks.

[Windows] Easily and quickly make an open window be always-on-top with Window On Top
Posted By Briley Kenney On July 1, 2013 @ 4:53 AM In Windows | 6 Comments
[1]Some time ago I covered a handy little program called Preme [2], that offers several unique functions that alter the way you work with active windows. You can do things like open a stylized window preview, snap windows off-screen so they appear when you hover, and more. The most useful feature, allows you to long press on a window frame to keep a window always on top of others. Although Preme is a fairly lightweight application, what if you only want to use the 'always-on-top' feature? There's almost no point in downloading the app, which takes up system resources, if you only need one feature. Window On Top is a free Windows application that allows you to get that same functionality in a simple lightweight program.
Main Functionality
Window On Top is a portable and lightweight (using less than 2MB of RAM) application that allows you to quickly adjust a window to stay on top of all others through a hotkey. There is no GUI to the app, instead it runs quietly in the background waiting for your command. There is one drawback that might turn some folks off, in order to download the package from the Compzets homepage you must be logged in- you can sign in using your Facebook or Google account if you don't want to sign up for a proprietary account.
[4]As I've mentioned above, you have to sign-in at the developers homepage in order to download the application. For some this may be unacceptable, and that's why I'm stating it now before we get started. When signing in with a social media account, the website will ask permission to access basic information about your account and your email address. This is so that the proper information can be related to your account, like display name, sex, email address and more. As far as I can tell, it does not specifically access your content nor does it make an attempt to post on your behalf. That being said, always be cautious about what sites and apps you give access to your social accounts. You should also know that you can revoke access through admin settings at the various networks anytime.
You do not have to login to use the application once it's downloaded.
[5]Once downloaded, the files will come in a compressed archive. To extract the files you will need a program like WinRAR, WinZip or 7Zip. After the executable has been extracted, you can run it from any directory including an external or portable drive.
It's very simple, and there's no GUI to bother with. The application automatically runs in the background awaiting a user prompt. When you'd like to keep a window on top of all others, all you have to do is press the designated hotkey. By default, the "Ctrl+T" keys will enable and disable the on-top function. Unfortunately, you cannot customize the hotkey so you're stuck with the default.
It adds a shortcut to the system tray, which provides access to a couple pretty basic functions. By right clicking on the system tray icon you gain access to a context menu which allows you to suspend hotkeys, pause script or exit the application altogether. The suspend hotkeys action will temporarily disable the hotkey shortcut, while the pause script function will turn off any 'always-on-top' actions returning everything to normal.
The application works with all types of windows, applications or programs. I tried it with the Windows task manager, Microsoft Office apps, web browsers, properties windows, the calculator and more. If you need a window to stay on top, this application will certainly do it.
While running, Window On Top uses nearly 1200KB of RAM which is a little over 1MB. To translate, that means it is pretty light on system resources.
[6]Window On Top is a simple and tiny application that allows you to enable the 'always-on-top' behavior for windows. It's free and it's also extremely light on system resources while running (less than 2MB of RAM usage). The necessary action is enabled or disabled through a quick hotkey shortcut, making the program very easy to use. Even better, it's portable so you can store it on any type of external drive and can run it without having to install. Unfortunately, you will need to sign-in to the developer's website to download the app, but it's a one-time deal — once you have the application downloaded you do not need to login at all in order to use it.
Overall, if you're looking for a quick and easy way to enable always-on-top functionality for windows, Window On Top is a viable option to do that.

Sustainable Health Nutshell: use Unrefined Local-as-possible Organic-as-possible olive oil or ghee (clarified butter) for cooking, and add water to your cooking- especially roasting or sauteeing, so the oil you use and the food itself stays below 250 degrees and is therefore less likely to become oxidized and contribute to artery damage and cholesterol plaque buildup (cooking tip: let the 1/4 c or so of water boil off and remove from heat just after to retain the good flavors from the oil and spices you used too!). Avoiding refined and non-organic oils and high temperature cooking (including most processed food) helps save your health and the planet's at the same time! Read on for the details!
Here's a quick review of the basic info western medicine has to offer. Cholesterol is necessary for life (brain cell development, hormone construction, bile acids, cell walls, etc), but in above-average amounts cholesterol is correlated with heart disease, 'fatty liver' disease, and more. Stiff plaques are found in arteries of patients with heart disease and angina, strokes, claudication and certain types of kidney disease. Then there's the breakdown of 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol and triglycerides… We are taught by doctors, the government health agencies, and pharmaceutical companies that if we just lower the bad numbers and increase the good numbers with 'lifestyle modification' or drugs (like aspirin and simvastatin), we won't get those diseases listed above. Well, we might not get them. Well, we might be less likely to get them. Sometimes. Depending on other risk factors. So, no, it's not a sure thing. Not at all, actually.
Aspirin and Statins both help decrease inflammation in vessel walls that is the main cause of cholesterol plaques first sticking, then growing, then breaking off and clogging a downstream artery with blood clots that tried to repair the damage, thus killing the downstream tissue (this is what's known as a heart attack). But what causes the inflammation in the first place? Tissue damage (from wear and tear, stress, infection, free radicals, etc) causes the blood vessel wall to send out inflammatory markers, which causes immune cells to come repair the damage. The cholesterol there gets eaten like the rest of the debris from the damage in a regulated manner by the white blood cells. However, if the cholesterol is oxidized the macrophages can't regulate their uptake, become over-stuffed "foam cells," and die, leaving an icky yellow streak on the wall of the damaged vessel, and releasing their insides that further break down the vessel wall, causing a thicker scar or 'atheroma.' The picture on the previous link gives you an idea of how this can block flow and you can imagine what happens if it gets too big or a piece breaks off and flows down to a thinner part of the artery. Yuck.
Oxidization and free radicals seem to be big keys in all kinds of inflammation (stress-induced, infection, auto-immune, etc). Free radicals are caused by many many things (including our own normally functioning cells), and are typically taken care of by our bodies and are not an issue unless the amount overwhelms our normal processes. Leaving infection and stress aside for the moment, what are our biggest sources of oxidized cholesterol we put into our bodies? Refined foods (that contain oils including trans fats, dairy, or other animal protein processed at high temperatures), charred food (yes, grilled meat… it's burnt, and the carbohydrates turn to burnt sugar + fat = caramel= yum!= ama/toxins), and oils/fats cooked to high temperature. So what to do? The simplest thing is to stop intaking so much oxidized cholesterol- your body has enough free radicals all by itself to deal with without you overwhelming it. Then there is eating more vegetables, stress-reduction, exercise… today's post is focusing on oil, though, so here's the last puzzle piece for making real changes: Cook with water! Anti-climactic, I realize. But by simply adding water to cooking, for example in roasting pans, eggs (poaching), and to stir-fry cooking, you can help prevent the food and oil from overheating and oxidizing and overloading your immune system with extra free radicals.
Yay! But we're not done. There is actually another piece. This blog is about the environment as well (and yes, you can use used cooking oil for biodiesel, but really we shouldn't be frying often for the above reasons…), so the type of oil you choose to use, and the type of fats you eat in general are as important as how you use them. Fat is amazing stuff. It holds onto fat-soluble things- like hormones (PCOS and type 2 diabetes), and vitamins, but also things like pesticides. It also tends to concentrate and hold on to those things for a very long time.
So first, imagine a large animal (like a cow) eating a huge amount of non-organic corn, storing all that pesticide residue in its fat (which is mostly of the less healthy types Omega-6 and -9, and which it has more of than normal since cows weren't built to eat so much carbohydrate at a time, much like people!)… and if you eat a piece of that well-marbled cow's muscle, including the fat that's been further oxidized and likely charred on that grill… It's not so great for your arteries. Food for thought. But what about vegetable oils? Aren't those "good for you?"
Imagine a field of, say, rapeseed (which originally was too toxic for human consumption until bred out to be lower in acid), even possibly "M" company's Canadian GMO rapeseed (called 'canola' which rhymes with granola, and sounds quite healthy!). Maybe the field was sprayed with pesticides. The seeds were harvested, cooked to crack the seeds, then pressed, creating more heat, to squeeze more oil out. If it was to be "refined," then gasoline (hexane or heptane) was put on it to get the rest of the oil out of the seeds. It was then heated again to boil off the gasoline, then heated with phosphoric acid and water to 'de-gum' it, and then it was refined with sodium hydroxide (yep, drain cleaner!). Wow. Ok, still not done- in order to bleach it, it was passed through acid which creates peroxides, and finally to deodorize all the oxidization, it was steam distilled up to 518 degrees. Talk about high temperatures. Ew.
So, no, all vegetable oils aren't necessarily good for you. Basically I'd like you to think about this when you're choosing what to put in your body- think about not only the potential damage to arteries, but also the pesticides and potential GMO issues in crops used for both animal feed and cooking oil production (corn, soy, and other vegetable oils), and, of course, the petroleum used to bring that oil to you (in the fertilizer of non-organic crops, moving animals around and processing them, and flying the oil to you,… even EVOO from Italy. Jet fuel isn't so good for the environment either and we have delicious olives right here in California! Arguably still far from, say, Maine… but I'm sure you have cows for making butter and ghee closer! ).
Slow down, think, and allow yourself and the planet better health with your choices.

Dude needs to invest in a stylist, ASAP. Those jeans put Jnco's to shame. But, to his credit, that picture with the white girls clubbing is the greatest picture I've ever seen him in.
Michael Jordan's Style Fail
As usual, Style Engine is going overboard. Yes sometimes Jordan's fashion style isn't what's popular, but it's not bad. Some of these pics are 20 years old and you have to think about what was being worn at that time. Also he's 50+ so you're not going to see him in skinny jeans sagging.
@Official_LMD even his golf bag is hideous. However, I can't front on that shirt in number 4.
4 and 8 are fails! its like someone put an M80 n a parrots ass n wrapped it n a shirt lol
mj doesnt care, what did style engine think he was gonna dress like a 2012 kid from the dmv
Well he is in that awkward "old man who still thinks he's cool stage" in life. But i'm not hating on the G.O.A.T., just stating facts that i'm sure his kids point out on a daily basis.
You'd think he has enough money to afford a stylist. Guess Juanita got that in the divorce...
YA but I admit all his outfits remind me of the two main characters from the movie Malcolm X
Right, I don't he pays for any clothes or shoes. He was more into b-ball then style. He's old school. He never was a show off. I think thats why people like him so much. He may not have been perfect but he wasnt a media harlott. He didn't need Nike, Nike needed him.
