LONDON Two former Guantanamo detainees on Thursday condemned Zero Dark Thirty, a film about the hunt for Osama bin Laden whose brutal interrogation scenes have sparked a discussion over the use of extreme methods in the U.S. campaign against terror.
Speaking at an event in London on the eve of the 11th anniversary of the opening of the U.S. prison camp in eastern Cuba, the pair said the film was an attempt to rehabilitate those guilty of human rights abuses.
"These people are getting away not only with committing the torture ... they're justifying it," said one of the ex-detainees, Libyan-born Omar Deghayes, who was left partially blind after what he said was an American guard's attempt to gouge his eyes out.
The other ex-detainee, Iraqi-born Bisher al-Rawi, said Hollywood films he used to watch portrayed torturers as the bad guys.
Casting heroes as torturers "will justify a very, very different mindset," he said. "I think that's very dangerous."
More than 900 people have been imprisoned at Guantanamo, most of them held for years without charge. Deghayes and al-Rawi were released in 2007, part of a group of British residents who were returned to the United Kingdom following a lobbying campaign by family members and British human rights organizations.
Neither Deghayes nor al-Rawi had seen the movie — the Academy Award-nominated film has not yet opened in Britain — but the graphic scenes have been widely discussed.
The movie's suggestion that techniques such as simulated drowning, sleep deprivation, and sexual humiliation were critical to helping the CIA find and kill bin Laden is particularly controversial because there has never been a public accounting for the brutalization of detainees in U.S. custody. CIA interrogation videos were destroyed, a wide-ranging investigation into the agency's practices ended last year without charges and a report into the CIA approved by the Senate's intelligence committee last month remains classified.
Some have dismissed the controversy over the film by noting that it's a work of fiction, but Karen Greenberg, the director of Fordham Law School's Center on National Security, said the movie aggressively markets itself as being based on the real-life hunt for bin Laden, who was shot dead by U.S. commandos in a raid on his Pakistani compound on May 2, 2011.
The movie "is impassioned in its belief that torture was an important tool in the war on terror and that it led to the death of Osama bin Laden," she said. "It's a polemic dressed up as fiction."
Back in London, Deghayes noted that the film would go on general release in the United States on the anniversary of the camp's opening.
"The timing is so sad," he said.

I mean, it's not like Games Workshop actually sells games. They sell miniatures.
Except for Blood Bowl, of course. That game is two shots of high-proof awesome.
They were once a separate company (in theory) but now they're not even a wholly owned subsidiary. More like a department.First of all, Games Workshop does *not* produce miniatures of any sort. The miniature models come from Citadel Miniatures.

Doctor Who
Doctor Who memorabilia set to hit the auction block
With the 50th anniversary of the "timeless" TV series Doctor Who taking place this weekend, Bonhams auction house in the UK has announced its upcoming sale of memorabilia from all five decades of the program. On December 18th, participants in the Entertainment Memorabilia sale will be able to bid on items such as a destroyed Dalek, a Cyberman costume, and scripts from various episodes. Read More
Fans of Doctor Who will be very familiar with the stupefied phrase uttered by all new visitors to his Tardis: "It's...bigger...on the inside." As it turns out, this apparently irrational idea may have something to contribute to our understanding of the universe. A team of cosmologists in Finland and Poland propose that the observed acceleration of the expansion of the universe, usually explained by dark energy or modified laws of gravity, may actually be the result of regions of spacetime that are larger on the inside than they appear from the outside. The researchers have dubbed these "Tardis regions." Read More
Doctor Who. He'd be nothing but an incredibly brainy (if strangely dressed) bloke with two hearts and an attitude if not for his TARDIS. The TARDIS is a combination time machine and spacecraft that can poke into virtually any nook or cranny in the entire history of the Universe. Aside from the marvelous transport capabilities, the most notable thing about the TARDIS is that "It's bigger on the inside!" – a running gag throughout the show. Now, Greg Kumparak has produced an augmented reality model of the TARDIS that produces a remarkable illusion, making the TARDIS indeed appear to be bigger on the inside. Read More

The Ghauri–I (Urdu: غوری-ا; official designation: Hatf–5 Ghauri–I) is a medium-range ballistic missile developed by Khan Research Laboratories of Pakistan. The missile uses a single stage liquid fuel rocket motor to carry a payload of 700 kg to a range of 1,500 km.[1][2] Two variants of the Ghauri were produced under the secretive missile research programme started in 1987[3] and the development of a third was cancelled. The Ghauri-II uses increased motor assembly length and improved propellants for an increased range of 2,300 km (1,400 mi).[4]
The missile is named after Shahabuddin Muhammad Ghauri, while the "Hatf" designation originates from the name of the sword or lance of Muhammad.[5]
Upon its development, the missile's name is traced in the remembrance of the 12th century Afghan King Shahabuddin Ghauri, by a senior scientist who worked on the program with a keen interests in medieval history.[6] Afghan King Ghauri successfully campaigned for the northwestern region of India between 1176 and 1182, but was defeated in his first battle for northern India by Indian King Prithviraj Chauhan.[6]
However, the JS HQ officially has the codename for the missile as "Hatf–5 (Ghauri–I); the Hatf codename originated from the name of the sword or lance of Muhammad.[5]
Design and development[edit]
According to the American intelligence estimates in 1999, the Ghauri–I is influenced and its design development is based on the Rodong-1 missile of North Korea.[7] According to the American Federation of Atomic Scientists, the Ghauri–I is believed to inherit a warhead spin-up mechanism from the Rodong 1 and it is stated that this feature could improve accuracy up to 190m CEP— although this is still debatable.[8] The mechanism involved using steering vanes to spin the missile after 100 seconds of flight time.[8] After 110 seconds, the rocket motor stops and the warhead separates from the rocket motor.[8] The warhead then enters a more stable re-entry trajectory due to the spinning motion.[8] Warhead accuracy would be further enhanced if the Ghauri's inertial navigation system is capable of being updated by GPS satellite signals.[8]
On Pakistan's own unofficial admission, the technology transfer took place in 1990s in return of the instructions on the enrichment methods of uranium[9] Not much has been publicized as controversy surrounds on the fact when it was claimed that North Korean nuclear efforts were well advance from before the instructions on the enrichment methods of uranium were provided.[10]
According to the Pakistani military reports, the original design of the missile was flawed and the missile burned up on re-entry during its first test flight in 1998.[11] Its aging electronic systems, engine system, and propellent had to be replace and design of the warhead to be re-design.[11] The KRL, assistance from the NESCOM, DESTO, and NDC, engaged in heavy reengineering and reverse engineered much of the missile system.[11]
The liquid fuel systems are incapable of storing fuel for any long period of time.[11] The Ghauri– I requires refuelling for several hours before launch and this makes it vulnerable to a first strike.[11] It is believed that this is why Pakistan has not pursued liquid fuel system other than the Ghauri–I and Ghauri-II.[11] It also makes it less likely that the Ghaur-I would be armed with a nuclear warheads.[12] Although it has been stated that it is capable of being loaded with "all types" of warheads.[13]
Pakistan's latest solid-fueled Shaheen–IA is believed to be an alternate missile system for the Ghauri–I.[11] However, it has been stated that the Ghauri–I has advantages in lower cost than solid-fueled systems.[11] This is advantageous when testing launch and control systems. It has been speculated that the Ghauri–I design may serve as a starting point for a Pakistan's space launch vehicle.[12]
Operational history and tests[edit]
The Ghauri–I was first test fired at 7:25hrs on 6 April 1998 from the Tilla Test Range near Malute, Jhelum Cantt which is about 76mi (122.31km) south of the Islamabad.[14] It was fired from a transporter erector launcher and traveled 1,100 km (680 mi) in a flight lasting 9 minutes and 58 seconds.[15] It climbed to a height of 350km before taking the direction to its planned impact area in the desert of Balochistan where it hit the designated target at 7:33hrs.[15] At the time, Pakistani military's information source, the ISPR stated that the missile hit its designated target in the desert of Balochistan.[15] It has since been revealed that this first test was not a success because the missile burned up during the re-entry phase of its flight.[12]
After reengineering and subsequent reverse engineering of the system, Ghauri–I was successfully test fired for second time as then-Prime Minister Zafarullah Jamali witnessed the test.[16][17][18] On 21 December 2010, the Ghauri–I was again successfully test fired for a third time.[19][20] On 12 November 2012, the Ghauri–I was successfully test fired for a fourth occasion by the Strategic Missile Group of the Army Strategic Force Command.[21] The test-flight was monitored by the new Strategic Command and Control Support System (SCCSS) and is believed to have been geared towards testing the SCCSS rather than the missile itself.[11]

What's Living in my Garden?
So my garden has been neglected and everything is overgrown. Today was my day to go clean it up. I get to the bed that has my lettuce that is way past due to be pulled out, so I start yanking. As I pull it up, I see a clump of pinestraw and thought "what's that doing there?" and pull it out. Then there's more and without thinking I grab it. Then I see it....a small brown fuzzy creature curled up. Freaked out, I exit the garden. After all, it must be a rat's nest (Lord knows I've had my fair share of those critters around). And I've seen far too many movies where disturbed creatures jump out and attack your face, so no way was I doing anything else by myself.
I go get my neighbor to help me. I'll dig it out, but I want someone there to call the ambulance when the rabid rat attacks me. We start pulling back the rest of the nest and sure enough, he's still in there. Along with a few of his siblings.
But it wasn't a rat at all. It was baby bunnies!!!! Mama rabbit made her nest in the grocery store. Quite convenient for her. Quite inconvenient for me. :)
Oh well, I guess I'll plant around the nest. And certainly, I'll have to plant extra as there are now more mouths to feed. :)

if at first i don't succeed, can i recan?
i've been having one (out of 5 - 8) cans not seal properly fairly frequently (b&b pickles and "spaghetti sauce without meat" mostly). is it okay to refrigerate the failed jar and then add it to the next batch (and cook it well while reducing the new batch) and can?
thanks in advance for your informed advice!
First you will have to determine why your jars aren't sealing properly. Are the rims of the jars impeccably clean and nick free? Are you heating the lids to a boil and keeping them hot before placing on the jars? Are you overfilling the jars? Are you not tightening the rings tight enough or too tight? These are only a few of the things I can think of why your jars aren't sealing.
I don't think you can reprocess pickles but I can't see why you shouldn't have a problem reprocessing the sauce.
i think it probably has to do with the correct tightening of the rings (i'm not sure i always tighten and then loosen back a little to the correct point). most of them are fine (a tight enough seal to lift the jar by the lid once the ring is removed and the jar wiped down). it's just one jar per every other batch or so that has a flexing lid after sitting overnight. my instinct was correct, then! i tossed the jar of pickles (kept the jar), but thought that i might be able to redo the sauce.
You can only safely reprocess within 24 hours of the intial canning. Otherwise enough bacteria will have grown that you cannot insure it will all be destroyed during the next processing. So, either reprocess within that amount of time or refrigerate and use within a day or two. That, or freeze those jars.
Why would you pitch the pickles? If I ever have leftovers or a no sealer, I put in the refrig and use. About the only reason I can think of not to reseal pickles would be they might get mushy.
I am extremely anal about wiping my jar rims and threads, fill to proper head space. Rings I screw on, then one more twist to get that nice convex lid in the canner and when cool hear the "ping" of the lids. It's a great sound, lol.
I won't even answer the phone if I am filling and lidding up. My daughter, (14) who doesn't not care to learn canning knows no one bothers Mom when canning.
Sure, add in the failed refrigerated jar when making another batch, waiting no longer than a week.
This past weekend I added whole plum maters in the sauce that were previously canned and I didn't use up.
Makes for a thicker sauce, I put in the whole plum, then about the end time of reduction when I am adding my herbs I use a potato masher and mash the plum maters in the sauce.
i think i like your reply best! i've already begun the comingled batch of sauce (one day old pint jar's worth into 6 quarts of purée all to be reduced to about 4 quarts of thick goodness with some additions per the recipe).
worst case scenario... nearly my entire extended family is wiped out just after christmas (those who don't fly in will be responsible for keeping the gene pool going, i guess).
As already mentioned - you have a sealing problem you need to solve first. Once that is resolved, then please follow Linda Lou's advice and restrict yourself to the 24 hours period for reprocessing. That is the safe, tested and approved guideline. Longer than that the risk of contamination increases 10 fold even if refrigerated so why contaminate the new batch with the old?

About the Designer
Sandy Chilewich
Sandy Chilewich is the founder and creative director of Chilewich / Sultan LLC in the United States. Chilewich has reinterpreted underutilized and overlooked manufacturing practices, producing designs marked by ingenuity and elegance for the last three decades with two distinct businesses. In 1978, Chilewich co-founded the hosiery company HUE with Kathy Moska; by 1997 the company was credited with revolutionizing the leg wear market with its innovations in design, packaging and merchandising. In years after the sale of the still-thriving HUE, Chilewich continued to explore her fascination with materials and textiles. In 1997, she introduced the highly successful Ray Bowl, which was acclaimed with utility patents and numerous awards. In a quest for other fabrics to incorporate into the Ray Bowl, she stumbled upon woven vinyl and fell in love with what she believed was a completely underutilized textile. Hence the launch, in 2000, of Chilewich's current distinctive product line of vinyl textiles. Chilewich went on to design and manufacture a number of successful applications for her growing collection of textiles. Her tablemats and floor mats can be seen in homes and better restaurants around the world. Chilewich bags, totes and cosmetic bags are modern and functional, perfect for travel and everyday use. In 2001 Chilewich, together with her architect husband, Joe Sultan, launched their first product for contract use. The two have changed the firm's corporate name to Chilewich / Sultan LLC to reflect their emergent business partnership. The award-winning Chilewich / Sultan LLC products are sold around the world.
About the ManufacturerUsing both traditional and modern manufacturing techniques, Sandy Chilewich's use of yarn fuses style and sophistication to create innovative textiles and original designs for modern use. Since 1997, Sandy has worked from her New York based studio applying her interest in color and experimentation with fibers to create the company's signature vinyl textiles. The durability of the yarn, its tremendous design versatility and the fact that it is stain resistant and truly washable continues to inspire her. Plynyl, the commercial grade wall-to-wall and tile application, was developed by Sandy's architect husband, Joe Sultan. They are now partners, with a corporate name change to Chilewich Sultan, and manage all aspects of the business together.

skull quilt ideas?
I finally found the right forum... I accidentally posted this on the sewing forum by mistake and couldn't figure out why it wasn't showing up here!
I have a dear friend that I met at community college (during the part of a year that I went :o) and I've known her for about 7 years now.... she has since moved back to Arkansas to be with her family, but we still keep in touch... anyway, she just got married and got her first home and I'd like to send her a quilt or wall hanging as a housewarming gift... She's a biker chick, so her tastes are eclectic to say the least, but the house is themed with skulls and the color scheme is red, silver/gray and black... I think something homemade would mean a lot to her and it would be a fun project for me to do (I don't seem to finish things I do for myself, but if it's for someone else, there's more encouragement to see it through)....
Anyway, I had two ideas, but I'm not entirely sure how to execute them. I was looking for ideas online and came across a pieced wall hanging that looked like a skull, and it turned out to be from a book called Whip Up Mini Quilts by Kathreen Ricketson... I didn't want to wait for a book to arrive, so I bought the E-book from Amazon, but the instructions about how to piece and assemble are so vague, I can't understand them. This looked really neat and I figured two wall hangings would be both easier and faster than 1 queen sized quilt, but because of how badly the book is written, I can't follow this to completion.
My other thought was to buy a variety of fabric that had skull prints and just piece a quilt together. I would do something simple, but I would like to frame each fabric square individually with a border rather than sew blocks together, but I've never framed fabric squares or blocks in on the body of a quilt before and can't find any patterns or information online.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Here's the picture from the book that I bought, but again, I can't understand the instructions.... the cutting instructions are clear and precise, but the piecing ones aren't at all...
This is my first time using the new picture feature, but I actually prefer Photobucket.... this is easier, but if you proofread and edit, you lose the picture have to upload it all over again.... plus you can't decide where in the post you want the picture or put more than one picture in a post!
It would take some organization, but that doesn't look too terrible.
I'm not sure how they told you to cut things, but to me, it looks like strip sets would work.
I'm looking at the lower right corner of the right-hand quilt. It looks like a strip of grey was sewn to a strip of pink, then subcut (across the strip) to create that 'block', then turned up and down. [This is similar to a rail fence quilt block, only done with 2 strips instead of 3 or 4] The next block to the left is a strip of pink sewn to a strip of orange and subcut, place horizontally.
It it were me, with poor instructions, I'd take out graph paper and re-color it for myself.
Then I'd make a list of all the strip combinations I can find (grey/pink, pink/orange, orange/grey, etc.)
Then I'd count how many of each combination I need.
Then I'd figure the width of strips and the length for each 'block', and so some math to determine how many strips I'd need.
Then I'd start sewing strip sets.
After the grid drawing, you can determine how best to piece the skull, working it into the 'block' around it. I can't tell from the picture if it's mostly large pieces of white, or all smaller strips/sections pieced together. But with the black areas, I'd create 'blocks' using the black & white around it, then add from there out.
Does that make any sense? Hope it works out in some way for you, this is a neat little project that seems like it'd fit your friend well.
If you want to keep it simple do as already suggested and draw/color it out on 1/4" grid paper. You don't have to do strips with this quilt. If you want to keep it simple for example the top of the skull would be six 1" x 1" finished squares or six 1.5" x 1.5" unfinished squares (this is the size you would cut). When you draw it out on large 1/4" gridded paper, let each square be a 1" x 1" finished square. If you do it like that with 1/4" seams you can cut everything out with your rotary cutter and it should go pretty fast. That's what I would do rather than trying to piece a bunch of multi-sized strips, just use 1" x 1" finished or 1.5" x 1.5" unfinished squares of fabric for the whole thing. And when you draw your gridded picture pattern, make a copy of it and use a highlighter or marker to mark the squares on the gridded paper copy as you go along sewing, sewing it row by row horizontally. Not counting the border, the overall quilt, if you use 1" x 1" finished squares, would measure 18" vertically x 20" horizontally when finished. So on your grid paper color 20 squares across and 18 down. So for example you would cut 87 1.5" squares of grey fabric, 48 black squares of fabric, 44 brown squares, 43 orange squares, 8 black plaid squares, 40 pink squares, and 89white squares --- and all of this is for the skull quilt on the right in the photos above. And your rows with white which are the hardest to count are as follows:
first row of white at top will be 6 1.5" x 1.5" fabric squares
next row of white fabric squares, etc as follows
8 1.5" x 1.5" white fabric squares
10 (same as above)
10 (same as above)
9 (same as above)
11 (same as above)
7 (same as above)
9 (same as above)
4 (same as above)
3 (same as above)
7 (same as above)
5 (same as above.
That's how I would do it. Hope that is not too much information - I was bored and needed a small break from my Lotto blocks. Hope that helps.
best to you,
Wow Sandra, just Wow!
Vacuumfreak, I don't think anyone can help you more with that first idea, it looks like Sandra did all the counting necessary...lol.
As far as your 2nd idea, if you'd like to frame some skulls, you could applique skulls to a plain block, and then frame it with an outside border of whatever width you prefer. If you made more than one block per wallhanging, you could mix up the colors a little to reflect how eclectic your friend is, and maybe even do the skulls out of different fabrics... some white, some fabrics with skulls, etc.
Please let us know what you do, and post pictures! You've got a great idea, and I'd like to see where it takes you! HAVE FUN!!!
Thanks for the tips!
Wow Sandra, you did a lot of thinking/work on that! I think I am going to follow your advice... I went to Wal-mart and bought some cheap material to make a practice project with so I can see how it turns out. I've found it's best to waste cheap material on a practice project first, you learn so much that way! I'll post a picture if it even resembles the picture :o)
Thank you again Sandra... as I'm cutting I keep referring back to your post and I really am using it as the guideline, so I really do appreciate the time and effort you put into figuring all that out...
I've got the gray, brown, and orange cut... I'm using red instead of pink so I'm on that now, and then I just have the white to go. I've been cutting since I got up today and my neck is killing me from looking down so much. I just took a break because I started to get frustrated... the ruler kept slipping and I was slicing too deeply into the fabric with the rotary cutter, so I figured it was time to take a breather for a little while. I'm standing in fabric scraps an inch thick, but I feel like I'm really getting something done! It will be a while before I get to the sewing, as I still have to finish cutting and lay the pieces out, but I can't wait, that will be my favorite part. I'm going to use my new quarter inch foot with the guide so my seams will be as straight as possible.
I decided to cut 2 inch squares, so the finished project will be a little bigger...

Product Description
Through the wide eyes of ten-year-old Alexander (Bertil Guve), we witness the great delights and conflicts of the Ekdahl familya sprawling, convivial bourgeois clan living in turn-of-the-century Sweden. Intended as Ingmar Bergmans swan song, Fanny and Alexander (Fanny och Alexander) is the legendary filmmakers warmest and most autobiographical film, a triumph that combines his trademark melancholy and emotional rigor with immense joyfulness and sensuality. The Criterion Collection is proud to present not only the theatrical versionwinner of the 1984 Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Filmbut also, for the first time on home video in the U.S., the original five-hour television version, together in a single boxed set. Also included is Bergmans own feature-length documentary The Making of Fanny and Alexander (Dokument Fanny och Alexander), offering a unique glimpse into his creative process and a candid behind-the-scenes look at a monumental film in the making. INCLUDED WITH FANNY AND ALEXANDER, FOR THE FIRST TIME ON DVD: THE MAKING OF FANNY AND ALEXANDER The Making of Fanny and Alexander is a fascinating look at the creation of a masterpiece. Directed by Ingmar Bergman himself, this feature-length documentary chronicles the methods of one of cinemas true luminaries as he labors to realize his crowning production. Featuring Bergman at work with many of his longtime collaboratorsincluding cinematographer Sven Nykvist and actors Erland Josephson, Gunnar Björnstrand, and Harriet AnderssonThe Making of Fanny and Alexander is a witty and revealing portrait of a virtuoso filmmaker.
It was instantly acclaimed the crowning masterwork of Ingmar Bergman's career, and time has not dimmed the Olympian status of Fanny and Alexander. Bergman drew upon memories of his own childhood for this portrait of the Ekdahls, the upper-class Swedish family whose celebrations and tribulations are seen through the eyes of 10-year-old Alexander (Bertil Guve). The world of the theater, of puppet shows and magic lanterns, does battle in this scenario with the cold realities of the palace of the bishop--a man whose influence over Alexander's mother gives the movie the stark outlines of a fairy tale.
As for the Criterion five-disc DVD: This may be the most beautiful DVD release ever devoted to a single film. The original 188-minute international release is here, of course, in all its original glory. (It won four Oscars: foreign language film, costumes, art direction/set decoration, and cinematography--the last to longtime Bergman collaborator Sven Nykvist.) An audio commentary by Peter Cowie gives useful background.
That film was carved out of Bergman's preferred 312-minute version, telecast on Swedish TV and included here. While the shorter cut remains a wonderful movie, and complete unto itself, the five-hour film is a deep, luxurious expansion. There is more of the Christmas Eve party that begins the film, more of the theater, more of Alexander's imagination. Especially meaningful is a long sequence between Fanny and Alexander and their doomed father, as he demonstrates the nature of storytelling with a simple chair.
Also here is The Making of Fanny and Alexander, Bergman's feature-length self-portrait, and a fascinating look at the rapt attention he bestows on actors and camera. DVD extras include a penetrating hourlong TV interview Bergman gave in 1984, and a 40-minute documentary shot in 2004 with reminiscences from cast and crew (including actors Guve, Pernilla August, and Erland Josephson). A handsome booklet includes essays by Rick Moody and Paul Arthur, and one disc is made up of pithy introductions shot by Bergman in 2003, for 11 of his classics, plus a sampling of trailers.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Cowboys coach Jason Garrett talked about some good things that happened for Dallas in its last game. And owner Jerry Jones said during his weekly radio show that his team could be evolving into one that can compete for a championship this season.
Cowboys coach, owner not talking desperately
Wait, aren't these the same Cowboys who have lost three of their last four games and are at the bottom of the NFC East?
"There were a lot of things to feel good about. There are no moral victories as we know," Garrett said Wednesday. "But there were some positive things we can build on and there were certainly a lot to correct as well."
The Cowboys (2-3) did pile up 481 total yards, their most in two years, and matched a franchise record with 79 offensive plays while holding the ball for 40 minutes at Baltimore. They had an 18-play drive of 110 yards, overcoming 30 yards in penalties, for a touchdown in the final minute. After missing a tying 2-point conversion try, they recovered an onside kick and had a chance at a winning field goal.
The bottom line, though, is Dallas lost to the Ravens and now has the same record it had at this point last season, when the Cowboys finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.
"We need a victory, bad," fullback Lawrence Vickers said. "This is very critical to get this win."
Dallas plays Sunday at Carolina (1-4), the only NFC team other than the Cowboys that hasn't yet scored 100 points this season.
That 31-29 loss at Baltimore is eerily similar to what happened last October. Like this year, the Cowboys were coming off their bye week when they lost a close road game against one of the AFC's best teams (20-16 at New England) and then played a struggling team the next week.
After Carolina, the Cowboys play their only home game in a six-week stretch — a rematch against the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants, who have won four of five since losing the season opener to Dallas.
During his appearance Tuesday on KRLD-FM, Jones said the Cowboys played physical at Baltimore and "did things that we can win with in the future."
The owner, who turned 70 on Saturday, also reiterated what he has said all year about the Giants becoming Super Bowl champions after winning only nine games in the regular season.

State, tech companies forge alliances to combat sex trafficking
Last year, California Attorney General Kamala Harris joined attorneys general across the country in declaring war against Backpage.com, a free classified website run by Village Voice Media. The officials threatened legal action if the site didn't stop running ads for adult services, some of which have been linked to underage sex trafficking.
But while Harris took a confrontational tone with Backpage – which has since balked at shutting down its adult pages – a more cooperative dynamic has emerged this year between the attorney general and online companies.
Harris recently announced an agreement with mobile and tech companies that requires their apps to better display their privacy policies. While Harris said she will not rule out legal action against sites such as Backpage, her office has begun to build more alliances with online firms. And as companies such as Facebook have matured, they have become more willing to cooperate with government leaders and law enforcement.

I. The investor has paid taxes on a total accretion of $50
II. The investor will have a $50 capital gain
III. The investor has accreted the bond, but has paid no taxes on the accretion
IV. The investor will realize no gain; no loss
b) I, II
c) II, III
d) III, IV
correct answer is d.
There are two problems in this question. The first is to recognize the fact that this bond is an Original Issue Discount Bond (OID). All discount bonds, including OID municipals, must be accreted, but the tax rules allow the accretion to be treated as municipal interest—tax exempt. The amount of accretion is $50 ($100 discount ÷20 years = $5/year × 10 years = $50). The original basis of the bond, $900 is accreted by $50 to $950, so when the bond is sold for $950 there is no capital gain or loss.

Shared Round-Trip Transfer: Maui International Airport to Hotel
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Shared Round-Trip Transfer: Maui International Airport to Hotel. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
They were right there at the airport and the driver was very friendly.
Easy to find them at the airport to catch the ride to my hotel and after calling to confirm a time to pick up, I made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Easy!
On time, and smooth
I have used Viator all over the world for my transfers and they have never let me down. We arrived in Maui early in the morning and even though we booked a shared transfer we were the only ones to be picked up. Our driver was awesome and gave us the local tips on the way.
Could not fault the service. They were waiting at the airport for us to be driven to our destination and were punctual with the pickup back to the airport on the day we were leaving Maui. Thankyou
Service was excellent! Was met as advertised at the airport and ended up having the whole van to myself for the ride to my hotel. The hotel pickup was equally reliable, on time, and efficient. Will definitely book this again the next time I'm in Maui!!
Very professional and very prompt. Thanks for the great time.
Over the top service from your staff ... thanks!
Great servicE and a fun driver
Excellent service. The shuttle was on time both from the airport to our hotel and for the return trip. Both drivers were friendly and experienced.
On time and very convenient as usual
Pick up on time, friendly driver, clean car.
Good job. No incidents and everyone at the airport was very helpful.
Very helpful. No incidents
Reliable shuttle from the airport to our hotel. Courtesy phone call day before pick up for the return journey :)

The shrooms can eventually do 800-1000 dmg so I think they more then negate the health pack. He is a pain if you know how to build him and the game can go long enough for you to get enough damage for the shrooms to really hurt. It is a bit op but he is ultra squishy and he mostly pokes for a while before getting enough atk spd and dmg for him to have more sustained dmg to contribute in team fights better.
Teemo is not OP, but he's annoying as **** to play against and just drains any fun you might have had out of the game just by being the most irritating SOB ever.
Shaco also ranks up there with Teemo.
Now put Shaco and Teemo on the enemy team together.
Having fun yet?
I never said he's OP, read the topic/post. I just said he makes it less fun because he takes away health packs from one team among other things. Him being squishy has nothing to do with that since his shrooms remain when he dies...
I have to kinda agree with everyone here. It's really fun splatting Teemo in Dominion, but the shrooms-on-health-packs shtick has got to stop.
Really? Teemo? We are *****ing about Teemo? Putting shrooms in annoying places is the only reason to pick Teemo. If you just wanted a hard to catch on-hit/AP/AD auto attacker, you would pick Kayle all day.
You know what I find annoying are threads that are formatted as such.
"I don't think X character is OP, but 1 specific aspect of X champion is annoying so we should get rid of whichever aspect about this champion is that sets him apart from other champions."
From now on, all champs will be white cubes on screen, their abilities Q>W>E>R will just do increasing amounts of damage with increasing CD's and mana costs.
If you don't think it is OP then when you say "I find this annoying to play against" you are just admitting to a failure on your own personality. It is not evidence that a champion should be changed in some way.
Hold on there, Panwar!
While I *did* say I think Teemo is one of the most annoying SoB's to play against ever, I never said Teemos shrooms should be removed, OR that any aspect of his play should be changed.
All I did was whine and complain about how Teemo and Shaco are super annoying, and left it at that.
Everyone needs to rant sometimes, ya know? >.>
I think everyone should be forced to play against Zaberz Teemo a minimum of 20 times before coming in and talking about his balance.
Maybe he isn't OP. But by God Almighty, **** this hero. **** into the ****ing stratosphere.
DG Denz Brujah
Personally I feel his shrooms are annoying but I feel the real issue is ATK SPD ... machine gunning AA's ... combined with blind/poison is a tad on the OP side

The floor rails are no longer supported by the superstructure, but by the stautions (in the stream). As you said, this bridge is under repair and hopefully someday, the floor will be tied again to the superstructure.
This style of bridge construction is old. I'm betting this bridge is over 100 years old. Several bridges of this style with I-Bar tension members have failed in Ohio, thus are being phased out or refurbished.
The main box members of the superstructure are made of flat plates and channel iron hot riveted together. This is the hallmark of this type of bridge, and is not seen in today's bridges. Also, if you examine the truss structure, there should be adjustable tension members with turn-buckles in the center of the tension rods. In the days when this style of construction was popular, there was a professional occupation called a "bridge tuner". After the bridge was roguhed in, it was his job to adjust the tension members so that each part of the bridge was carrying equalized loads. He 'tuned' the bridge much as one would tune a piano. By adjsuting the tension members, then striking them to make them ring, he could compare one memeber to another for tension. The frequency of ringing was a function of the amount of tension in the rods.
After the bridge had seen some use and settled a bit, he would return to touch up the "tune" of the bridge.
