A year after Frontier Airlines unveiled an "ultra-low-cost" fare structure including new fees for bags, the airline is once again revising those costs. [More]
Frontier Increasing Checked Baggage Fees By $5 To $10 Starting May 1
State Lawmaker Says Cable Company Blocking Broadband Legislation
While we all know that companies don't spend piles of cash on campaign contributions and lobbying just to support candidates they believe in, it's rare to hear an in-office politician openly calling out his colleagues for bending to the will of a corporate backer. [More]
Is Consolidation On The Horizon For Budget Airlines?
In recent years, the airline industry has undergone a rather stark transformation through a series of mega-mergers between legacy carriers. Still, one group has been left relatively untouched: budget carriers. But the Chairman of the Board for Frontier Airlines sees a future with fewer bottom-dollar airline brands. [More]
Frontier's "Ultra-Low-Cost" Fare Structure Includes Fees To Use Overhead Bins, Reserve Seats
Is Frontier Airlines the newest Spirit Airlines? Minus the always entertaining missives of Spirit CEO Ben Baldanza, the Denver-based carrier is taking a page from its cheapo fellow airline and changing up its price structure to include, among other things, a fee for carry-on baggage and a reserved seat.

Frontier Bills For Phantom Phone Line For 5 Months
Back in the cold days of January, reader Chris moved away from FiOS territory. It was very sad for everyone involved, but he and his household moved on, subscribing to DSL service from Frontier. One DSL line just wasn't enough Internet tubes for his household, so they looked into getting a second line and modem, but they couldn't have a second "dry loop" DSL line. They had to get a phone package along with it. Chris was happy to hand over his money for this service, but Frontier was not so happy to hand over his modem so he can actually start the service. They never sent it, but keep billing him for the service and equipment anyway. [More]
An Airline Actually Reduced A Fee
Airlines have tacked on more and more fees over the years as a way to recoup costs without having to raise their base fares as much, but Frontier has broke with these seemingly relentless upward tradition and actually reduced some fees this week. Thunderclap! [More]
Hawaiian Airlines Tops Quality Study, American Eagle Falls Flat
For the second year in a row, Hawaiian Airlines has topped a study that ranks 18 commercial carriers according to a formula that accounts for everything from on-time arrivals/departures to baggage handling to customer complaints. On the bottom end of the rankings was American Eagle. [More]
Midwest Airlines To Take Frontier Name, Still Offer Cookies
Since they both were acquired by the same holding company last year, it's been an inevitability that both Midwest Airlines and Frontier would eventually end up flying under the same brand, but it remained to be seen whether one would fold into the other or there would be a completely new name. That mystery ended this morning with Republic announcing that, as of today, Midwest will now be part of the Frontier family. [More]
What's The Best Airline For Bringing My Bike?

Frontier Communications Has To Pay Back Early Termination Fees
If you signed up for Frontier Communications' Price Protection Plan—a combo phone and broadband package—between January 2007 and September 2008, and you canceled the agreement and were charged an early termination fee (ETF), you may be getting some cash back.
Frontier's Computer System Lands Unaccompanied Minor In Security Room For An Hour
Ok, here's a crazy idea: if you're an airline, and you have a form with room to list two adults who are authorized to pick up an unaccompanied minor, wouldn't it make sense to have room for both names in your computer system? Because whoever is running Frontier Airline's system doesn't seem to think so! Kayla's mother spent a frantic hour, IDs in hand, trying to prove that she was authorized to meet her 13-year-old daughter at the gate. The form accompanying her daughter clearly had both her and Kayla's father listed, but the computer listed only the father's name. While Frontier sorted out the confusion, Kayla spent an hour waiting in Denver Airport's security room.
Frontier Charges Up To $10.80 Per Gigabyte For High Speed Internet
Frontier Communications, a Rochester, NY based DSL provider, has recently added language in their acceptable use policy that caps "reasonable" high speed internet usage at 5GB per month, after which they may "suspend, terminate or apply additional charges to the Service." Metered-internet-hating blog "Stop the Cap" calculated that at Frontier's most expensive price (for those who do not accept a multi-year contract) the ISP is charging a whopping $10.80 per gigabyte.
The Ultimate "Rule 240" List
Some airlines still call it "Rule 240″ and others a "contract of carriage" but no matter what the name, it still means the same thing: power to the traveler. But which airlines still use it and how much does it protect a traveler?
Frontier Airlines has increased the fee for transporting antlers, yes, antlers, from $75 to $100. [Frontier via Rick Seaney]
Dealing With Frontier's Bankruptcy
Now that the airline with the fuzzy animals on their planes has also declared bankruptcy, you might be in the same position as reader Scott. Scott had Frontier cancel his flight and send him an email with a link to get a refund. While it's nice that Frontier made the refund option easy, a refund doesn't get Scott any closer to his destination, and a second ticket would cost Scott a bit more than he initially paid. Thanks to a little bit of research and 35 minutes on the phone, Scott was able to get Frontier to rebook him on a different airline. Find out how, inside.
Frontier Airlines Insists Man Who Missed Flight Was On Plane
Matthew is the center of a Hitchcockian mystery over at Frontier Airlines. He missed his flight from New Mexico to Texas with a connection through Denver (there was a total of 4 segments to the flight), and when he tried to rebook the flight and pay the change fee, Frontier told him he'd already flown to Denver. So who took the flight? One of the flight crew's friends? A woman too pretty for Southwest? A killer? There's probably a killer roaming the streets of Denver now.
Mary at Frontier keeps promising Matthew she'll look into it, but "after weeks and several calls," nothing's been fixed, and Matthew still can't rebook the flight he already purchased.

You can also do "knoppix 2" to get to text mode, and then "X -query server" to make it thinner. ALT-consoles still available, and a full toolset on the client. Perhaps easier to do things like sound, CDROM, floppy, USB, all that stuff. There are scripts that control the boot - by default it mounts that monster KNOPPIX file as cloop, but you can unpack KNOPPIX and add stuff like nvidia drivers. There are discussions on the knoppix forums how to do this. Disclaimer - still have not done it myself, but am looking over the shoulder of someone who is trying it out. Will keep you posted. Cheers, Andy!

- The Hedgehog
- Production year: 2009
- Country: Rest of the world
- Cert (UK): 12A
- Runtime: 99 mins
- Directors: Mona Achache
- Cast: Anne Brochet, Ariane Ascaride, Garance Le Guillermic, Josiane Balasko, Togo Igawa
Based on a bestselling novel by the Moroccan-born French novelist Muriel Barbery, Mona Achache's debut as writer-director looks at a hypocritical adult world through the eyes of the lonely, precocious 11-year-old Paloma (Garance Le Guillermic). She's making a testamentary documentary about her haut-bourgeois family whom she despises and about the neighbours in their smart Parisian apartment block, as she plans to commit suicide on her 12th birthday. It's a brisk, touching comedy with a deliberately shocking climax and attractive performances from Josiane Balasko and Togo Igawa as the two people who change Paloma's understanding of life. The former is a self-taught concierge, who deliberately conceals her great intelligence and sensitivity to literature and the arts, the latter a kindly Japanese businessman, happily named Ozu, who appreciates the concierge's worth.

4 accused in mayor's killing arraigned, plead not guilty
More News from Jeannette I. Andrade
The four suspects in last month's killing of Maconacon town Mayor Erlinda Domingo of Isabela and the wounding of her bodyguard pleaded not guilty during their arraignment Monday.
During the proceedings at the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 220 before Judge Jose Paneda, murder and attempted murder charges were read against Marsibal Abduhadi, the alleged gunman; his wife Mary Grace; and coaccused Christian Pajenado and Michael Domingo.
Mary Grace and Pajenado also pleaded not guilty in connection with the separate cases of gun ban violation and illegal possession of firearms filed against them.
Mary Grace was charged after she was allegedly caught with cal. .45 and .25 pistols and ammunition, including a box containing 50 bullets for a 9 mm pistol.
Pajenado, on the other hand, was charged after a cal. .45 pistol was found in his possession following his arrest in Barangay Commonwealth.
The judge, meanwhile, ordered that all six cases be consolidated since they were all connected to the killing of Domingo and the wounding of her driver-bodyguard Bernard Plasos.
The mayor was gunned down on Jan. 22 as she was alighting from her sport utility vehicle outside the Park Villa Apartelle at the corner of Examiner Road and Quezon Avenue in Quezon City. Plasos was shot and wounded in the thigh as he was running back to the inn to ask for help.
Mary Grace, Pajenado and Domingo were arrested by members of the Quezon City Police District's Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit shortly after the killing while Abduhadi was arrested three days after the incident at the Salaam Mosque Compound in Barangay Culiat.

text: The Natasha Irons wiki last edited by Deadknight on 08/20/14 05:42PM View full history OriginNatasha moved to Metropolis with her uncle to a place called the Steelworks. She knew her uncle was none other than Steel and she even knew Superman when he visited the Steelworks when they moved in. Before that she used to work for the U.S Senator and was kidnapped a number of times, and had to be rescued by Steel from villains such as Hazard, Plasmus and Skorpio.Ironically, Steel was later captured by Darkseid and saved by Natasha, but John was badly injured so Natasha had to carry on the legacy of Steel. John designed a very powerful suit for Nat. She also found out that Superman was injured by a ghost ninja so she teamed up with Cir-El and Traci Thirteen, as Steel, to stop it. She teamed up with Cir-el again, along with Superboy, to save Superman from Luthor.FamilyNat has a large family consisting of her reckless brother Jemahl, her uncle John, her grandmother Bess, and her father, the super villain known as Crash. When Natasha was poisoned by another villain known as Skorpio, he had to turn himself in to save her life by giving blood.52In the comic 52, Nat and John get into an argument and John takes away Natasha's 'Steel' armour. He took it away because she wanted to join the Teen Titans but John forbid it and the fierce argument broke out. Natasha, now powerless, tried to build a power suit of her own but failed and lashed out at John. Natasha found one of Luthor's Everyman flyers and decided to try it. John found out and told her not to because he was beginning to get a steel skin. Natasha called him a hypocrite because she thought Luthor gave him this new skin. This caused Nat to go see Luthor where she was treated immediately. Once she got her new powers she went by the name Starlight and became a member of Luthor's version of Infinity, Inc. She became immediate friends with the team and good friends with teammate Eliza Harmon, also known as Trajectory. During Natasha's time on Luthor's team, John was constantly trying to warn her that Luthor was no good and her powers would be taken away if she angered Luthor, which is what had happened to Trajectory, and ultimately led to her death. Natasha continued on with the team and nothing really happened except it was revealed that she had a secret relationship with another teammate Jacob Colby, Skyman. Nat continued to ignore John's warning texts, but when John found a way to meet up with her he told her that the steel skin went away on its own and her powers would too. He also asked her "How could a slug like Blockbuster manage to grab someone who could move so fast?", meaning Trajectory. He left her to look at the facts and decide for herself. Eventually she did decide that it was plain and clear that Luthor wasn't to be trusted. She told Skyman and the two went to investigate. They followed a scientist who was secretly against Luthor and blew up the lab; they were undetected. In week 39 Skyman said he wanted to take Natasha somewhere, he said it would explain a lot. She was taken to see the corpse of Jacob Colby, the living Skyman she was talking to was yet another teammate; Everyman. He'd been working with Luthor to check up on the other teamates. Natasha was revealed to be against them and Luthor took her powers away. After 52, she develops the power to transform her body into a vaporous substance and called herself Vaporlock.Ame-Comi GirlsNatasha (Steel) can be seen on the new DC Comics digital series Ame-Comi Girls as one of the main characters.

First of all, I'm surprised as to how many read my first post. I think I'll keep this up but I'll keep them shorter (if possible and i'm not fired up about something). So far it seems like things are working the way we had hoped. It was great getting people involved in things and to have other voices to discuss who raids and all issues in reguards to our raids as a guild. I'm thinking that (if no one objects), I will moderate the meetings and put issues and discussions on time tables so we aren't in a vent room for hours and hours talking about the same thing. While I know we (or at least most of us) are all friends in game and in real life, I think to keep things from getting out of control it's almost a neccessity. I think this shows promise as long as we keep it controlled and organized.

Mordecai Peter Centennial Brown (October 19, 1876 – February 14, 1948), nicknamed "Three Finger" or "Miner", was an American Major League Baseball pitcher at the turn of the 20th century. Due to a farm-machinery accident in his youth, Brown lost parts of two fingers on his right hand[1] and eventually acquired his nickname as a result. Overcoming this handicap and turning it to his advantage, he became one of the elite pitchers of his era. He was known primarily for his exceptional curveball, which broke radically before reaching the plate.
Brown was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1949.
Brown was born in Nyesville, Indiana. He was also known as "Miner", having worked in western Indiana coal mines for a while before beginning his professional baseball career. Nicknames like "Miner" (or misspelled as "Minor"[2]) and "Three Finger" (or sometimes "Three-Fingered") were headline writers' inventions. To fans and friends he was probably best known as "Brownie". To his relatives and close friends, he was also known as "Mort".
His three-part given name came from the names of his uncle, his father, and the United States Centennial year of his birth, respectively.
According to his biography, he suffered two separate injuries to his right hand. The first and most famous trauma came when he was feeding material into the farm's feed chopper. He slipped and his hand was mangled by the knives, severing much of his index finger and damaging the others. A doctor repaired the rest of his hand as best he could. While it was still healing, the injury was further aggravated by a fall he took, which broke several finger bones. They were not re-set properly, especially the middle finger (see photo), and he kept quiet about this clumsy accident until he was well into adulthood.
He learned to pitch, as many children did, by aiming rocks at knotholes on the barn wall and other wooden surfaces. Over time, with constant practice, he developed great control. As a "bonus", the manner in which he had to grip the ball (see photo) resulted in an unusual amount of spin. This allowed him to throw an effective curve ball, and a deceptive fast ball and change-up. The extra topspin made it difficult for batters to connect solidly. In short, he "threw ground balls", and was exceptionally effective.
After a spectacular minor league career commencing in Terre Haute of the Three-I League in 1901, Brown came to the majors rather late, at age 26, in 1903, and lasted until 1916 when he was close to 40.
Brown's most productive period was when he played for the Chicago Cubs from 1904 until 1912. During this stretch, he won 20 or more games six times and was part of two World Series championships. New York Giants manager John McGraw regarded his own Christy Mathewson and Brown as the two best pitchers in the National League. In fact, Brown often defeated Mathewson in competition, most significantly in the final regular season game of the 1908 season. Brown had a slim career 13-11 edge on Mathewson, with one no-decision in their 25 classic pitching matchups.[3]
Brown's most important single game effort was the pennant-deciding contest between the Cubs and the New York Giants on October 8, 1908, at New York. With the great Mathewson starting for the Giants, Cubs starter Jack Pfiester got off to a weak start and was quickly relieved by Brown, who held the Giants in check the rest of the way as the Cubs prevailed 4-2, to win the pennant. The Cubs then went on to win their second consecutive World Series championship, their last to date.
Brown also played in the Federal League with the St. Louis Terriers (where he also briefly managed), the Brooklyn Tip-Tops and the Chicago Whales.
Brown was a switch-hitter, which was and is unusual for a pitcher. He took some pride in his hitting, and had a fair batting average for a pitcher, consistently near .200 in the major leagues.
Brown and Mathewson wrapped their respective careers by squaring off on September 4, 1916. The game was billed as the final meeting between the two old baseball warriors. The high-scoring game was a win for Mathewson's Reds over Brown's Cubs.
Brown finished his major league career with a 239-130 record, 1375 strikeouts, and a 2.06 ERA, the third best ERA in Major League Baseball history amongst players inducted into the Hall of Fame, after Ed Walsh and Addie Joss. His 2.06 ERA is the best in MLB history for any pitcher with more than 200 wins.
Following his retirement from the majors, he returned to his home in Terre Haute, where he continued to pitch in the minor leagues and in exhibition games for more than a decade, as well as coaching and managing. According to his biography, in an exhibition game against the famous House of David touring team in 1928, at the age of 51, he pitched three innings as a favor to the local team, and struck out all nine batters he faced.
From 1920 to 1945, Brown ran a filling station in Terre Haute, that also served as a town gathering place and an unofficial museum. He was also a frequent guest at Old-Timers' games in Chicago.
In his later years, Brown was plagued by diabetes and then by the effects of a stroke. He died in 1948, and news of his passing reminded sportswriters of his past achievements.
In 1999, 83 years after his last game and 51 years after his death, he was named as a finalist to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
Between Brown and Antonio Alfonseca, the Cubs have featured both a "three-fingered" pitcher and a six-fingered pitcher on their all-time roster (Brown technically had four, including the thumb).

Sonera Sold 1.1 Million Powertel Shares for EUR 75 Million.
HELSINKI, Finland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 22, 2001
In compliance with terms of the agreement of August 28, 2000 on the sale of Powertel, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTEL) shares to Deutsche Telekom AG, Sonera (HEX: SRA, NASDAQ: SNRA) has utilized the right to sell up to 17.5% of its existing Powertel shares within the period extending from the shareholders' meeting of Powertel to the completion of the transaction. The shares sold today represent approximately 17.1 % of Sonera's Powertel shares. The shares were placed with Deutsche Bank.
The overall consideration of the transaction was approximately EUR 75 million. As previously announced, the proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce Sonera's debt. Sonera will record a gain of approximately EUR 30 million from the transaction in the second quarter of the year.
In the summer of 2000, Sonera signed an agreement on selling its shares in two U.S. GSM operators, VoiceStream Wireless Corporation (NASDAQ: VSTR) and Powertel, Inc., to Deutsche Telekom. After the present sale, the overall value of Sonera's remaining VoiceStream and Powertel shares, based on the closing price of May 21, 2001, totals about EUR 2.2 billion, of which the amount to be paid in cash is about EUR 310 million. The rest of the Sonera's VoiceStream shares will be paid in the form of Deutsche Telekom shares.
Both the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the justice department have cleared the transaction. Sonera estimates that the transaction will be completed as originally scheduled, i.e. by the end of June.

Qui tam claims by whistleblowers or relators are most commonly brought under the federal False Claims Act for 15-30% of whatever funds the Government recoups from Medicare fraud as an example. Yet, some states have legislated their own False Claims Act (FCA) such as New Jersey.Therefore, if New Jersey issues healthcare payments solely with state funds, then qui tam claims are only actionable under the New Jersey False Claims Act. Unlike New York and California, New jersey's FCA is never retroactive. Therefore, the arm's reach of NJ's FCA is not very deep in terms of penalizing healthcare or nursing home fraud that occurred prior to the enactment of New Jersey's FCA.

Anyone else dislike Section 31?
Lots of people seem to think this, but Ive never seen anyone say anything bad about Section 31. I just found the whole thing kind of ridiculous, we only ever really see Sloan, but apparently it controls the entire federation?! As with so much in later DS9, it just seems crammed into the storyline, maybe because the fans liked it for being 'dark', or something.
Its like if years of DS9 had been devoted to this story about a dark and secret part of the federation which DS9 discovers and tries to bring down, then in the last two seasons theres a couple of episodes about a huge, HUGE war that Bashir and O'Brien somehow go off and win together.
Yes: exaggeration. But did anyone else feel like this?

Re: Anyone else dislike Section 31?
More care should have been taken in portraying them. The Changeling virus, for instance, was a very dangerous stratagem. Given Founder psychology, it would have stood a very good chance of backfiring.
The way to do it is to deliver a knockout blow - kill them all at once - but if that's the plan, why create a cure? Negotiating with the Founders to give them the cure requires revealing who created the virus in the first place, and then if the Founders are true to form, they will react with homicidal vengeance.
I liked S31 better in ENT. The concept of S31 seems to fit better into an era where the Federation was only just beginning and it was the Wild West in terms of how it would turn out (or at least, from the character's perspective at the time, if not the audience's).

Re: Anyone else dislike Section 31?
Anyway, I get the feeling that Section 31 was purposely created to be unlikable. After all, the viewer is supposed to side with Bashir, who in each and every episode *hates* doing Section 31's dirty work, and even summons his friends for help (so odds are, your favorite main character is going to lend Bashir a hand). You don't approve of them? Great, that's one more thing that connects you the viewer to Bashir.
As a concept though, it might have been a tad extreme if DS9 was to question -- and then ultimately answer -- how the Federation got to be so utopic. Every nation has their skeletons in the closet. But you're not supposed to like those secrets either, that's why they're tucked away. They're a kind of villain/anti-hero that lives in the gray and forces the viewer to have discussions like this very thread.

Re: Anyone else dislike Section 31?
I also get how its nice to look at the darker side of the federation, but how much darker can it get. The negative aspects of the federation had been a huge theme throughout the series, with many episodes devoted to the idea.
Dark looks darkest against a white background, and by the time Section 31 showed up the federations flag was already plenty stained. If anything it just made me take the federation less seriously as a real entity.

Re: Anyone else dislike Section 31?
I appreciate that the DS9 writers took the risk in creating Section 31, and I'm glad Enterprise took the ball and ran with it in their own way. But even removing the debate about their place or function, and in my honest opinion several of the Section 31 episodes were rather average. If they were better episodes or more philosophical (TOS would've been a great vehicle for them), then I imagine they'd be better received.

Re: Anyone else dislike Section 31?
I watched Redlettermedia's review of Abrams trek, and he made a point about the Dominion war just giving the audience everything too quickly, whereas TOS and TNG had only ever hinted at war. I cant help thinking he was right.

Re: Anyone else dislike Section 31?
Also, the literary/TV critic in me says the quality of writing wasn't the same. Fairly consistent but with some stinkers here and there during the Dominion arc. But again, that's me.
Now, whether there's rhyme and reason to explain those special effects is something else entirely, and if you don't think they help cement the union between the Feds/Klingons/Romulans, that's okay. I'd even agree with you in a sense that that's not what the battle scenes were intended for as well. But DS9 had those battles primarily to show that they *could* do it. As it was, even then they only showed fractions of those battles (we never really saw all 600 Starfleet ships vs. 1200 enemy vessels, for one thing). Thus, I wouldn't use the battles as the best evidence of the three powers coming together -- we get more than enough of that from dialogue and reports from offscreen battles (but it would be odd to not show their ships together at least a couple times). And even if DS9 didn't have the tech to show those big battles, I'm willing to bet they'd still have the war because of the show's trajectory. The majority of the war, in terms of what we saw on screen, was still fought in the usual TOS/TNG sense, in that battles were either fought offscreen, or between only a couple ships in dogfight, or merely hinted at, esp. when it came to one side suffering considerable losses.

Re: Anyone else dislike Section 31?
I'll agree with what others have said, I like the Idea of S31, but thought it could have been executed better. They say you can't appreciate the light without acknowledging the darkness. And the brighter the light, the darker the shadow. S31 is supposed to be that shadow I think.

Reject & SMS

+ By Berna4488
In certain circumstances it's necessary to reject an incoming call and send a message to the caller, warning him of the impossibility to respond. Situations like this occur for example during a business meeting, during university's lessons, when you drive the car...
With Reject & SMS, when you reject an incoming call and you can quickly choose the message to be sent to the caller; the messages are preset by the user and are completely customizable. You can save any number of messages, in addition, if in some circumstances none of the preset messages is suitable to the situation, you can quickly enter a new text message to send.
Each time you reject a call is not required to send a message to the caller, you can quickly cancel reply.
Reject & SMS will be triggered in the event of a missed call, but it will terminate automatically if within a few seconds you don't interact with it.

White House Shooter Fan of Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones
The 21-year-old Idaho man who shot at the White House earlier this month was a fan of antigovernment conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, The New York Times reports today.
Oscar Ortega, the Mexican-American waiter from Idaho Falls who on Nov. 11 fired a semiautomatic rifle out of his car window while driving by the president's residence, allegedly believes that he is the "modern day Jesus Christ" and that Obama is the antichrist. His friend Jake Chapman, who sold Ortega the AK-47 used in the shooting, told the Times that about a year ago, he and Ortega watched Jones' 2009 "The Obama Deception," a feature-length film promulgating the theory that the president is the puppet of shadowy agents of the New World Order who plan to transform America into a totalitarian state resembling Nazi Germany.

Manhattan Man Charged With Plotting to Detonate Bombs Was Inspired by Al-Awlaki
A Manhattan man arrested on charges of plotting to build and detonate bombs in New York had become fascinated by the American-born militant Anwar al-Awlaki during the course of his radicalization, The New York Times is reporting.
The Southern Poverty Law Center profiled al-Awlaki in the Fall 2011 issue of the Intelligence Report, which noted that, "many homegrown extremists arrested on terrorism charges are known to have frequented extremist websites early in the radicalization process." ( continue to full post… )
White Supremacist Faces Additional Charges for Domestic Terrorism Plot
A man who was planning "the worst kind" of domestic terrorism act faces six new federal felony charges less than a month after being convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm in the state of Washington.
Wayde Lynn Kurt, once a member of an Odinist, white supremacist gang called "Vangard Kindred,'' was in jail awaiting sentencing when a grand jury in Spokane returned the new indictment against him last week. Its six counts allege aggravated identity theft; two counts of unlawful production of an identification card, two counts of unlawful possession of an identification card and making a false statement.

What Occupy Wall Street Was Not
As the Occupy Wall Street protesters are swept out of their encampments around the nation, many are asking what the movement's next step will be and if the police actions might actually help the two-month-old populist outburst grow.
But even for those seeking to discern the future of the OWS movement, a more instructive question might be: What was OWS, anyway?
To hear the denizens of the far right tell it, the protesters who filled public spaces in cities around the country and even abroad were unwashed hippies, lazy potheads incapable of holding a job, homeless opportunists scarfing up free food and shelter. They were Nazis. They were Marxists. They were anarchists. ( continue to full post… )
Oklahoma Pastor: Gay People Behind Half of Urban Murders
Pastor Tom Vineyard of Windsor Hills Baptist Church in Oklahoma must be bummed. Though onlookers reportedly gave him standing ovation for his impassioned speech against adding sexual orientation to the protected classes named in Oklahoma City's employment nondiscrimination policy, City Council members on Tuesday voted 7-2 in favor of the measure.
Making his case that adding explicit protection against discrimination would "bring down God's judgment on [the] city," Vineyard cited a New York City judge named John Martaugh, who allegedly said that over half the murders in large cities are committed by LGBT people. ( continue to full post… )
Israeli Prime Minister To Address Liberty Counsel's 'The Awakening'
The Liberty Counsel has announced the lineup of speakers for next year's national conference, and it's a marquee of far-right luminaries. Prominent figures of the anti-Muslim movement will rub shoulders with the anti-gay religious right. Christian dominionists will hang out with hard-line constitutionalists. And, of course, the prime minister of Israel will speak, too.
That's right. The website for The Awakening 2012 lists Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as one of the confirmed speakers for the event scheduled for next April in Orlando, Fla. "As our nation's honor is deteriorating, now is the time to take a stand and restore our country's strength and dignity," one conference flyer proclaims. ( continue to full post… )
New Intelligence Report Released Today
The Southern Poverty Law Center today released the latest issue of its quarterly investigative magazine on the radical right, Intelligence Report. Overall, the issue covers the extreme right's increasingly heated rhetoric, laced with talk of war and weaponry, as it faces the possibility of four more years under a black president.
The issue's cover story focuses on Montana, where white supremacists and antigovernment "Patriots" are gathering for a last stand against the greater society that one leader likens to the Battle of the Alamo. Another story, also focusing on increasingly belligerent rhetoric and actions, examines the continuing radicalization of the neo-secessionist League of the South. A third examines the unbelievable vicious rhetoric and background of Bryan Fischer, who has become the main spokesman for the gay-bashing American Family Association. My own editorial discusses all three stories as part of a trend toward radicalization. ( continue to full post… )
Corrupt Lobbyist's Tell-All Published by Conspiracy-Mongering WND
Given his reputation as a corrupt master of manipulation, disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff has been given a surprisingly credulous welcome by the media following the Nov. 1 release of his book Capitol Punishment: The Hard Truth about Washington Corruption from America's Most Notorious Lobbyist.
Described by its publisher as "an engrossing, informative work" that will "serve as a corrective" to Abraham's "wildly misunderstood" story, the book and its author have in the past week been portrayed with relative sympathy by at least two important mainstream outlets, CBS's "60 Minutes" and The New York Times. Neither lets him off the hook entirely; the Times, for example, notes that his book tour is "classic Abramoff" and "reflects his latest and most personal lobbying effort yet: the one on which he lobbies for himself." But (ironically, given the subject matter) neither do the two reports look at who is behind this effort to redeem "Casino Jack," and who stands to benefit from it. ( continue to full post… )
FBI Reports Dramatic Spike in Anti-Muslim Hate Violence
Anti-Muslim hate crimes soared by an astounding 50% last year, skyrocketing over 2009 levels in a year marked by the vicious rhetoric of Islam-bashing politicians and activists, especially over the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque" in New York City.
Although the national statistics compiled by the FBI each year are known to dramatically understate the real level of reported and unreported hate crimes, they do offer telling indications of some trends. The latest statistics, showing a jump from 107 anti-Muslim hate crimes in 2009 to 160 in 2010, seem to reflect a clear rise in anti-Muslim rhetoric from groups like Stop Islamization of America. Much of that rhetoric was aimed at stopping an Islamic center in lower Manhattan.
Facing Controversy, Anti-Muslim Preacher Tones Down Criticism
DETROIT — The only thing more noticeable than Lou Engle saying he was going to pray that Muslims would have "dreams of Jesus" during his marathon 24-hour prayer gathering over the weekend in Detroit were the efforts he undertook to show that he was all about sensitivity to minorities.
From the American Indians dancing in full-feathered dress to his proclamation a few hours later that he chose Detroit in a nod to black Americans' sufferings, Engle carefully avoided the anti-Muslim rhetoric for which he is known and emphasized his affinity with minorities instead. Indeed, he described Detroit as the final stop on the underground railroad, the end of "black America's trail of tears," in explaining why he chose the city for the interfaith event that began Friday.
This was the same man who earlier had said that Muslims are "fueling the demonic realm" and in the thrall of "spiritual dark powers." But after widespread criticism of the event — Engle seemed at pains to avoid any semblance of intolerance. ( continue to full post… )

Sandwiches are o.k. for the most part but all the hot options are virtually inedible when delivered because they always arrive soggy, drenched, and falling apart. Also, this place used to include really great, soft, fresh-baked cookies but now the cookies are small, hard, and flavorless.

Distinctive meat dishes with earthy or nutty flavor components are a perfect accompaniment to the luscious flavors in this wine. Try it with grilled lamb and a porcini sauce, beef tenderloin with winter vegetables and a red wine reduction sauce, or a New York steak with gorgonzola walnut butter. For cheese pairings, try Camembert, aged Jack or Parmesan cheese.
Chardonnay needs chalky or loamy soil in a cooler region. Newton owns an old vineyard in Carneros and also has long-term grape contracts for several hillside vineyards verging on that region. Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay, introduced in 1990, is said to be the first unfiltered wine produced and sold in California, and is now regarded as an industry benchmark.
Su Hua insists on picking only ripe grapes from the vine. Her method of quality control is to be involved in every aspect of the harvest, during which time she can be found every day among the pickers. To ensure that only ripe grapes are harvested, there can be up to four separate pickings in a single vineyard - very difficult to do but, she believes, there is no other way to produce a great wine.

Today a question in the newsgroup reminded me that I never created an HttpModule on my own.I have heard about several samples for HttpModules - mainly to allow custom authentication or to provide an enhanced workflow engine but I have never written one.
So I decided that it is time for me to fill this "black hole" of missing knowledge.
A question came in my mind which came up multiple times in the newsgroup: how to enforce SSL protection for a channel?There are several different approachs that have been given - even from myself:1) create a virtual directory in IIS with the same name as the channel and set the "Require SSL" flag2) modify the template code to include a check if the channel needs to be protected and do a Response.Redirect if required.
None of these two is really perfect. The first has the caveat that it does not cover the unpublished URLs and that navigation controls need to know which items to render with https links and which with http. The seconds requires additional coding in every template.
So I decided to solve this problem using a custom http module.
This has the benefit that I can exactly decide which channels should be protected and which not, without any further modification of the template code.
My code only requires a "RequireSSL" custom channel property to be set to "yes" for the channels which should be SSL protected. Anything else is done by the module - including switching back to non-ssl for other channels.
But one caveat has also this solution: Switching between SSL and http is being done using a Response.Redirect. As the protocol needs to be changed the Location header needs to contain the complete URL including the host name.This hostname is extracted from the incoming http request. In a web publishing scenario this request might have been redirected by a proxy server to a different name. As my HttpModule now sends the name back to the client the web pubishing server needs to be able to rewrite the location header to the correct name. Microsoft ISA server and other 3rd party servers are able to do this but not all.
But in typical publishing scenarios is the firewall the SSL endpoint and not the CMS server - so the problem would not come up here.
Enough words. Here is the ready-to-use solution:
To create this HttpModule create a new C# class library project and replace the code in the class1.css file with the code above. Add a System.Web reference and the necessary CMS references to the project and build the solution.
To install the http module copy the resulting DLL into the bin directory of your template project and add the following entry to the httpModules section of your web.config:
<add type="StefanG.HttpModules.CmsSslHttpModule, dllname" name="CmsSslHttpModule" />
dllname needs to be replaced with the name of your dll without the ".dll" part. If your dll is e.g. named CmsSslHttpModule.dll the line would read as follows:
<add type="StefanG.HttpModules.CmsSslHttpModule, CmsSslHttpModule" name="CmsSslHttpModule" />
The final step to activate the new http module is to add the RequireSSL custom property to the appropriate channels. Whenever a posting or a channel rendering script of the current project is included in these channel the module will automatically ensure that the request is being done using SSL.
Oh! Btw: the redirect will create these ugly URL's we love when postbacks and CMS come together. To address these please check out the solution in my other blog which covers this problem (you need to implement Solution for problem 2).
We also chose to go with a custom property on the channel that needed protection. Only thing different was we use a base page for all of our templates and we put the code to handle the redirect there.
Hi Rob,
this is also a possibility.
But it would require to ensure that all templates and channel rendering scripts are based on this new base class.
My solution is transparent and works without any modification of the template files.
Just install the module and you are done.
Ever thought about protecting parts of your MCMS site with SSL?In IIS you can enforce this for virtual...

I certainly think family allowance, or whatever it is called now, should not be given for more than 3 children.

Blackburn chairman John Williams has revealed that Rovers will extend veteran defender Andre Ooijer's contract by a further 12 months.
The Dutchman's current deal is set to run out at the end of the season but Rovers had the right to exercise an option of another year.
The Holland international, 33, has been linked with a return to his homeland this term with Feyenoord and Ajax reportedly monitoring the situation closely but he will now remain at Ewood Park for the foreseeable future.
Rovers manager Mark Hughes has been impressed with Ooijer's performances for Blackburn this season and has no intention of letting him go.
"We had until March 31 to exercise the option but we have decided to do it now because Andre has been brilliant for us," Williams told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
"When we negotiated the original deal, we always felt that was something that we'd want to do and who is to say Andre won't be with us for many more years to come?"

WASHINGTON Wildfires are flaring bigger and hotter in Alaska, the northern Rockies and the Sierra Nevada. Bighorn sheep, mountain goats and grizzly bears in Glacier National Park, along with deer and marsh rabbits in the Florida Keys, face a housing crisis.
Glacier's alpine meadows are disappearing, sea levels are rising in the Florida Keys and other federal lands are feeling the heat from global warming - and the government is not doing much about it, congressional investigators said in a report Thursday.
Climate change, however, does have things looking up for heat-loving pests like beetles, grasshoppers and fungi. Spruce bark beetles are chewing their way through 1,560 sq
uare miles of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, including 620 square miles of spruce trees in Chugach National Forest. Southern pine beetles are on the march in red spruce forests of the Southeast.
Non-native grasses are fast replacing native shrubs in the Mojave Desert, where the grasses also are fueling hotter and longer-lasting wildfires. Even pinyon pines hundreds of years old that have survived droughts before in the Southwest are dying off.
After more than three years of study, the Government Accountability Office, an arm of Congress, harshly faulted the Bush administration for doing little to deal with the far-reaching effects of climate change rapidly taking place in national parks, forests, marine sanctuaries and other federal lands and waters - almost 30 percent of the United States.
The GAO said the Interior, Agriculture and Commerce departments have failed to give their resource managers the guidance and tools they need - computer models, temperature and precipitation data, climate projects and detailed inventories of plant and animal species - to cope with all the biological and physical effects from the warming.
"Without such guidance, their ability to address climate change and effectively manage resources is constrained," the report says.
The White House disagreed.
"President Bush is committed to addressing climate and providing the agencies with the tools they need to address this important issue," said Kristen Hellmer, a spokeswoman for the White House Council on Environmental Quality. "The president has provided unparalleled financial investments for dozens of federal climate change programs, many of which are directed at adaptation and developing and deploying cleaner, more efficient energy technologies."
The GAO investigators looked at four representative areas:
-The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
-Alaska's Chugach National Forest.
-Montana's Glacier National Park.
-Grasslands and shrubs managed by Interior's Bureau of Land Management in northwestern Arizona.

A mother in California is breastfeeding her 9-year-old's dog.
So I had to take a trip over the weekend, and this morning, in the Atlanta airport, I was behind this woman (who was having what one might call a 'wardrobe malfunction') on the escalator:
Naked photos of Prince Harry have surfaced online. Seems as though what happened in Vegas, didn't stay in Vegas.
My niece got married over the weekend (it was a great wedding: Ramsey was beautiful, John was as handsome as all get-out) and my nephew, Lil John, was part of the ceremony.
Before the ceremony began, we were backstage (oops!! I mean, in the 'foyer') and they were getting Lil John dressed.
We hear stories about the dangers of humans interacting with bears, but this story must be the 'exception to the rule'.
In short, a bear 'expert' found two cubs with a dead mum, so he tried to nurse them to health and maturity.
Alicia Keys has always been independent and done her own thing, but now she's asking fans to help with her campaign for 'A New Day.' (We thought it was just 'New Day,' but she says 'A New Day' — and she's the one who wrote it!) The singer is launching an interactive Instagram campaign for a special video for the new track.
In 1982, John Wardlaw was joined by four of his high school buddies at his family's cabin in Copco Lake, California. During their retreat the five friends, who were all about 19, shot a group photo using a self-timing camera.
They didn't think much of it at the time, but when they all found themselves at the cabin again five years later they decided to recreate the photo. Thus began a tradition that has been repeated every five years since.
It's time once again for the best photos of the week. We have some intense competition photos (horse racing and dog surfing), some crazy fashions to wear to those competitions (though a feather hat may not be the best choice for the dog surfing) and some pics of celebrities, though epic, we never really wanted to see. Plus, the muscular alien from 'Prometheus' without his make-up on. Check out the photos below.
The key to the Ridiculously Photogenic Guy meme wasn't just that Zeddie Little is a very handsome man. What made it all so "ridiculous" was that Zeddie's good looks shined through while he was running a half-marathon, which would be a time most people's mugs would be rendered heinous by sweat and facial contortions caused by heavy breathing.
But Zeddie has nothing on Rachel, a 28-year-old who recently had surgery to remove 60% of her lung at the Cleveland Clinic.

"The Port is Near, the Bells I Hear, the People all Exulting"
The sound of bells in the city of Charleston announced secession in December 1860. The tolling of bells served as a rallying point for Americans throughout the war. Soldiers marched off from their homes and some returned for final burial to the sound of bells. Bells marked important victories and the arrival of a slain president on his journey home.
Now the National Park Service wants to mark the end of the Civil War sesquicentennial with the ringing of bells throughout the nation.
In conjunction with a major event at Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, the National Park Service and its partners invite communities across the nation to join in this commemoration. The bells will ring first at Appomattox at 3:00 p.m. on April 9, 2015. The ringing will coincide with the moment the historic meeting between Grant and Lee in the McLean House at Appomattox Court House ended. While Lee's surrender did not end the Civil War, the act is seen by most Americans as the symbolic end of four years of bloodshed.
I can't think of a more appropriate way to mark the 150th anniversary of Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox (which all but assured that our Union would be preserved) and the end of the sesquicentennial. Continue reading →

Sony still losing money on each PlayStation 3 console
Article Summary
According to iSupply, in November 2006 the entry-level US$499 PlayStation 3 console was made up of over 4,048 different components at a cost to Sony of $805. Two years on, they've ripped open a current revision of the game console and while there's 30% fewer parts, Sony is still making a loss of just under $50 per console - making it clear why there was no aggressive price cuts this holiday season.

Rick Steves' travel buddy
I have traveled Europe three times now and am about to go for a fourth round this summer. So trust me when I say that if my family didn't have Rick Steves that first time around we wouldn't have gone back probably. He is at once a travel agent, tour guide and local. He doesn't feel the need to throw big complex words at his reader in order to get them to enjoy his book. He also expects nothing from them, he is colloquial and wants you to enjoy your time in Europe. Venice specifically is a tourist mecca so listen to him when he tells you to eat at a certain place.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Haselfrom Basel Bags: Made From Rugs?
I love the look of these thickly woven bags from Haselfrom Basel. The zig zag one reminds me almost exactly of the rug we have in our living room. So much so that I'm starting to wonder if rugs turned bags are a new DIY trend on the horizon?
A great price too, if you're not up for trying to DIY one yourself! Keep reading to see where to get them and how much.
Find the zig zag bag here and the polka dot bag here. Both are $32.

I've had a good listen to all 3 discs.
It's really good but I don't think it can top London; London just has such a great flow to it from start to finish whereas Toronto tends to lose it towards disc 3 and never really finishes.
I would say it's on par with Argentina.
Slovenia was the weakest for me followed by Cordoba.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 7 nights
Are you looking for respite from the world? Stay a million miles away but just down the road from Glen Arbor in this beautiful new log home. 'Cabin on the Creek' is a great up-north retreat! Tucked in the woods on Shetland Creek, this 4 bedroom 3 bath log home will sleep 10 people with 1 Queen, 2 Full, 2 Twins, and 1 Queen sofa-bed.
Relax by 1500 feet of creek side waterfront and enjoy the peace and quiet of 20 acres of woodland. You may just see the trout make their spawning runs in the spring and the salmon in the fall. Deer and squirrels visit almost daily.
Decks off of upper and lower level of house overlooking the creek. Only a few miles to Lime Lake, Little Traverse Lake, Sleeping Bear National Lake shore or Lake Michigan. A/C, washer/dryer, gas fireplace, fire pit, charcoal grill, cable TV/DVD/VCR, WIFI, linens provided. Will consider your well-mannered dog. No smoking.
We had a wonderful, winter,siblings weekend with the six of us adults. The cabin was delightful, cozy, clean, and especially well furnished and equipped. We had lots of fun hiking in the snow near Pyramid Point, and Good Harbor Bay.We cooked most of our meals in, in the beautiful ,well equipped kitchen. We saw deer come down to the creek to drink each day. We will certainly come back, this is the nicest place we have ever stayed!
What a wonderful place to bring on a new year! Our family of 9 spent a great new year holiday at this spacious and well equipped cabin. We could not have asked for anything more. This cabin would be a gem at any time of the year. There are so many activities all around the area to keep you busy, and if you choose to stay back and relax they have beautiful decks to listen to the stream right in your own backyard. Our family will definitely be back often, so if you are planning a visit make your reservation quick!
We stayed the weekend only,but this place is the nicest place ive ever stayed in.Everything was clean,the décor was incredible,the atmosphere was great.The weather was horrible but we stayed in and had a wonderful siblings weekend.Definatly want to stay a week this summer with family again.Thankyou for a very nice place to stay!
It is indicative that almost every review of this cabin has earned a five-star rating. Ours does, too. The bedroom and bathroom layout was perfect for our party of three couples. One couple was from Australia, and they were especially enchanted by it, never having seen an "Up North" cottage. The craftsmanship that went into interior and exterior construction is obvious. The beds were comfortable. The entire cabin was immaculate. The location is perfect for those who want a place close to scenic attractions---but not too close. We had a great time at Pierce Stocking Drive, the Lake Michigan Overlook, the Maritime Museum (even though closed for the season), Fishtown in Leland, the Black Start Winery near Suttons Bay, and shopping in Glen Arbor. Cabin on the Creek is just outstanding.
I rented this cabin for 2 weeks and could have stayed forever. My family: young adult children, elderly parent, aunt, all came north to stay for various times while I was there. Everyone loved the beautiful log cabin's welcoming furnishings. The beds are comfortable, the living areas warm and beautiful, the towels plentiful, the extra blankets abundant, the water hot for multiple showers and laundry, the air conditioning great on hot damp summer days. The cabin is supplied with anything you could possibly need: puzzles, an excellent book and magazine collection, games, fireplace, fire pit, grill and tools, a couple bikes, kids gate, port a crib, fan, dishwasher, indoor and outdoor dining tables and placemats for all, crock pot, blender, even a salad spinner! I loved sitting on the third floor deck listening to the creek burble and watching the blue heron in the early morning. A TV with DVD player on every level meant some people could have peace and quiet while others watched a movie.
We Kayaked the Crystal river, SUPed the South Bar and Lake Mi from Empire, Hiked the lovely trails around the cabin and in the National Lakeshore, and shopped in Suttons Bay, Glen Arbor and Traverse City. We enjoyed the local galleries and antique stores. Local produce was available at a stand walking distance from the cabin. Beaches on Lake Michigan and small lakes are a short drive away , many dog-friendly. Glen Lake offered boat rentals. Glen Haven museums were interesting. We climbed the Great Sleeping Bear and loved running down in great leaping strides.
Favorite restaurants: Blue Bird in Leland (get the Whitefish Bluebird style), Joes Friendly in Empire (Best burgers in the North), Little Traverse Inn, walking distance, (Music on Thurs and Sun), Pegtown Station, Maple City, (great Breakfast), Foothills Café, (loved the cherry pancakes), Cherry Republic, Glen Arbor, (Barbeque sandwich is delicious), and La Becasse, if you need a fancy French date night. The Cherry Hut in Benzonia is wonderful for a home cooked inexpensive dinner. Get the dinner that includes soup, salad, beverage, main course, potatoes, vegetable, and dessert. Then head to the Cherry Bowl for a double feature drive-in experience.
The best thing about the cabin was that I was able to bring my well behaved best friend with me. She loved playing in the creek and taking long walks on the trails. A perfect up north experience.
It was only a long weekend but it was a great visit. The house was so perfect for 3 couples to share. Each couple had their privacy and yet could gather in the main area for food, fun, cocktails and games. Meeting the owner made this visit even more special. The men had been impressed with the craftmanship and found that the owner built the house himself. The men had a chance to try their luck fishing and the ladies got a chance to shop in Glen Arbor. One of our guys is a metal detector hunter and had a great time walking the paths. Even though it rained most of the time the peace and quiet of the home made for a splendid visit. We will try and return in the spring.
