A human corpse is on the receiving end of much of the so-called humor in "God's Pocket," but it's the movie that feels dead on arrival, a strained pileup of small-town stupidity that might more honestly have been titled "Sad Sacks 'R' Us."
Showing none of the sparkle of the five "Mad Men" episodes he's directed, actor John Slattery makes a wobbly transition into feature filmmaking with this drab and uninvolving dark comedy about two parents reacting to their son's suspicious death in increasingly hapless and hazardous ways. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Richard Jenkins and Christina Hendricks lead a strong cast left flailing by a gallery of underdeveloped characters, all of them stranded in a muddled indictment of provincial American life. This "Pocket" should be tucked away in short order.
It begins with the funeral of 22-year-old Leon (Caleb Landry Jones), accompanied by the voice of a narrator (Jenkins) who flatly describes the nature of life in the South Philly neighborhood of God's Pocket, a boozy, blue-collar community where everyone knows everyone else's business and nobody trusts an outsider. It'shomespun hokum-masquerading-as-wisdom though it does establish an air of pessimism that has its roots in Pete Dexter's 1983 novel (adapted here by Slattery and Alex Metcalf).
The film takes us back to three days before the funeral, with Leon still alive and kicking, though not for long. A volatile, sociopathic troublemaker who works, if that's the word, at a construction site, Leon makes the mistake of addressing an older black worker with a racist epithet that was probably more commonly in circulation in the '70s, when the story is vaguely set. A retaliatory blow to the head leaves Leon dead; his boss and the various onlookers are quick to lie the cops, citing a simple workplace accident, though everyone else has suspicions to the contrary, wouldn't you know.
While Leon's nameless mother (Hendricks) retreats into an inconsolable cocoon, her husband, a hard-drinking lowlife named Mickey Scarpato (Hoffman), barely musters so much as show of grief, though he does go about making the funeral arrangements in the booziest, most idiotic way possible. At the time of his stepson's death, Mickey was busy stealing a refrigerated truck with his buddies (John Turturro, Domenick Lombardozzi) to use in their illegal meat-hocking business, setting up the inevitable gag in which Leon's corpse — jettisoned by the town's unaccountably belligerant funeral-home director (Eddie Marsan) when Mickey admits he can't afford the burial — will have to be placed in cold storage along with several sides of beef.
A third central character emerges in the form of Richard Shelburn (Jenkins, source of the opening narration), a newspaper columnist famed for his beautifully observed stories about the people of God's Pocket. For all his local celebrity, however, he's long since gone to seed, hooking up with random jailbait and drinking constantly. (He's also, like Mickey, one of those untrustworthy outsiders mentioned at the outset.) His latest assignment involves looking into rumors that Leon's death was no accident, though Shelburn is more interested in taking Mickey's wife out on a romantic picnic. Their moment of sexual ecstasy, juxtaposed with the climax of Mickey's cadaverous hijinks, represents the film's nadir.
Flirting with outright nastiness but too toothless to follow through, "God's Pocket" stirs to life at exactly two moments, both of them involving bloody spasms of violence that temporarily goose the picture out of its humdrum groove. With the possible exception of an Irish barkeep (well played by Peter Gerety), every character here is so sketchily written that even reliably great actors like Hoffman and Jenkins come off as nonentities; Slattery's "Mad Men" co-star Hendricks emotes valiantly but similarly has nothing to work with.
In their choice of scrappy locations and understated '70s furnishings (courtesy of production designer Roshelle Berliner), director and crew do a solid job of evoking an atmosphere of waste and ugliness, though the latter quality extends rather too literally to the film's deliberately murky imagery — an uncharacteristic lapse for Lance Acord, the brilliant cinematographer behind films like "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Lost in Translation" (he's also credited as a producer here).

With millions of title reports processed since the company's founding in 2003, NextAce is the technology leader in providing automated real property intelligence for the title insurance, mortgage lending, foreclosure, real estate, and investment markets. The patented NextAce technology has evolved into a powerful production and workflow platform that connects and automates all major functions of the title search and production process, making NextAce the fastest, smartest, and most affordable solution for real property intelligence today.
The original concept for Title EDGE® continues to this day; automate as much of the search and examination process as possible and deliver accurate results in a fraction of the time historically required to complete the process.
In 2004, NextAce took the first step in perfecting this process when Title EDGE automated title search and examination was introduced to title companies serving five Southern California counties. The fundamental abilities of this innovative approach challenged industry standards and practices that had been in place for years.
While the objective hasn't changed since then, the specific details have changed dramatically. Today, NextAce processes reports for virtually every type of search reaching nearly 90 percent of the country's population. NextAce is integrated with nearly 1,000 different sources for data, taxes, starters, court records, images, and more to facilitate the array of products produced on the platform.
In 2012, NextAce made the commitment to enhance Title EDGE to operate in a parallel environment, in its entirety. This significant advancement allowed many functions to operate simultaneously while at the same time reducing the amount of time required to process a report. Today, even very complex reports with an automated search and exam now complete in less than five minutes. Parallel Processing includes concurrent data capabilities that allow simultaneous queries from multiple data sources. In a matter of seconds, NextAce accesses and interprets data from multiple providers validating and combining the results to ensure the most complete and accurate view of information related to a specific property or transaction.
NextAce provides title companies with a comprehensive solution that leverages prior experience, enforces consistency and underwriting guidelines, reduces turn times, and dramatically reduces the costs of title production.

Excerpts from article:
According to AAA (American Automobile Association)
AAA notes the following as signs of diminished capacity for driving safety:
• Having a series of minor accidents or near misses.
• Having wandering thoughts or being unable to concentrate.
• Being unable to read ordinary road signs.
• Getting lost on familiar roads.
• Having other drivers honk at you frequently.
• Being spoken to about your driving by police, family, and friends.
If a senior loved one in your life is at the point where it may be unsafe to be behind the wheel, be sensitive. Having a driver's license is more than just the ability to drive a car; it is also a symbol of freedom and self-sufficiency. Most people do not give up the right to drive willingly, even if he or she would agree that driving has become more difficult.

If I were Theresa Spence, I'd be hanging my head in shame. Or hiding under my bed.
As everyone in Canada surely knows, the chief of the Attawapiskat First Nation has been on a hunger strike the past four weeks. She is taking liquids but has vowed not to eat again until she gets a meeting with — not Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan, who offered and was blown off — but with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Gov. Gen. David Johnston themselves, to discuss aboriginal treaty rights.
In parallel moves, sympathizers with the aboriginal rights cause have held up railway lines and bridges as part of the vaguely defined Idle No More Movement.
Spence has been front-page news for weeks, as she positioned herself in a teepee on an island near Parliament Hill and received celebrity visitors like Justin Trudeau.
With predictable Liberal knee-jerk guilt, Trudeau tweeted 10 days ago that it had been "deeply moving" to meet Spence, and described her as "willing to sacrifice everything for her people. She shouldn't have to." Meanwhile former prime minister Paul Martin described her as "an inspiration."
Too bad these two didn't check on the facts first.
Because while Spence has been portraying herself on the news as a martyr willing to die for her people, documents have been released that clearly indicate she and her partner are at the centre of breathtaking mismanagement at the Attawapiskat First Nation.
More than $100 million of Canadians' tax dollars have been sent there by the federal government since 2005. But an audit by Deloitte and Touche showed that the band could supply no documentation for eight of every 10 transactions — including some worth more than $1 million. Administration failed to set yearly budgets. Minutes were not kept of meetings and decisions. Signed agreements to keep reserve funds for housing renewal were ignored.
The lack of accountability to her own people and to the government is simply disgraceful. But instead of apologizing, Spence has arrogantly brushed off this damning evidence as "no more than a distraction."
It's deeply troubling, not only for the people of Attawapiskat who have suffered in terrible and needless poverty thanks to this incompetent leadership, but also because Spence now threatens to undermine the whole aboriginal cause.
She has become the face of indigenous indignation. But with her record of poor management at Attawapiskat, she was not the right person to take on this role. By putting herself into the spotlight, she has actually done aboriginal people a terrible disservice. Think of the negative stereotype she has created; and the easy target she makes for racists who don't care to solve the problems.
Later this week, Harper will gather with chiefs in a meeting co-ordinated by Assembly of First Nations head Shawn Atleo. Spence will be there. One expects that Harper will have the good sense not to allow her antics to dominate the conversation.
Aboriginal issues are perhaps the most difficult, complex and painful in the whole country. There's a lot for Harper and the chiefs to talk about. That includes the future of reserves themselves. Can they be sustainable the way they are set up now? How do aboriginal rights over the environment impact government moves to expand our resources sector? How will the government be able to bring off-reserve aboriginal people, status and non-status, into the larger mainstream economy so that they get the same chance of creating wealth as everyone else?
These are all topics for a serious discussion. But it will only have real integrity if Spence takes a back seat. The best thing she could do right now is stay away from those talks completely. Go home to Attawapiskat, Chief Spence. Resign as leader. Apologize to your people. Then spend the rest of your time trying to make it right to them.

This article was previously published under Q318738
Programs that are developed by using the Microsoft .NET Framework are slow to load when you run the programs on a computer that is part of a domain.
When you double-click the executable file to start a .NET program, several seconds (sometimes as long as 30 seconds) may pass before the first form appears. This delay occurs with any .NET program, including console applications.
This behavior is caused by a bug in the .NET Framework runtime because some of the initialization code in the common language runtime requires the presence of an ASP.NET account. This problem occurs only on computers that are part of a domain.
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Microsoft .NET Framework Service Pack 2 (SP2).
Programs can be slow to load for other reasons, such as program size and complexity. If you experience long loading time for only one specific program, then the cause probably is related to that program.

BOISE -- You won't have to paddle or play in the whitewater to appreciate the new expansion planned for the Boise River Park.
City leaders say the proposed changes are designed to appeal for recreational users who bike, walk and swim too. They'll host a public forum Wednesday night to introduce what's known as Phase IIof the Boise River Park and accept feedback from the public.
Want to hang out on a lush lawn and watch a world-class kayak race while your kids picnic and swim?
More kayaking obstacles, public seating platforms, picnic areas, modern bathrooms, and parking options are all part of the design currently under development for the park.
So is the completion of nearby Esther Simplot Park and its own nature trails, picnic areas, walking paths and other attractions.
Boise Parks and Recreation spokesperson Amy Stahl says the complex is being designed to bring recreationists of all types together on the river.
It's going to create this incredible recreational space utilizing the river, the ponds, and the park for many uses including, picnics, swimming, as well as boaters, stand-up paddle boarders, Stahl told KTVB.
As for the direct construction to portions of the river and the installation of man-made obstacles, Stahl says this stretch of the river will be much different.
The idea is to give less experienced boaters a safe place practice their skills. That includes playful new features, new rapids, boat ramps -- even an island.
The new plan will also include re-routing the entire greenbelt, to make places for more room for people to watch kayaking, and bring bikers out of the way of spectators.
As good as it all sounds, it's important to remember that we're still talking about a plan. City leaders will gather at 1649 West Shoreline Drive Wednesday at 6 p.m. to pitch the proposal. If approved, they'll pay a team of designers $250,000 to go forward with the design.
This is a preliminary concept, Stahl told KTVB. So the public will be allowed to provide feedback to a design team about what they see here and make suggestions and improvements.
They'll still need a successful permitting process and generous donors to provide the influx of cash needed for construction before the park goes from idea to reality.
There's no firm time line on construction. Stahl says it could be several years before construction begins.

The Coronation of King Gustav III of Sweden
"The Coronation of King Gustav III of Sweeden"
Oil on Canvas - 1782
Carl Gustav Pilo
A few weeks after we returned from the wonderful trip, I was notified that I had been awarded the Nobel Prize of that year for Literature. It was a very great honour, in all ways unexpected.
It was necessary to go to Stockholm. Even while we were on the sea, the old King of Sweden died. We reached the city, snow-white under sun, to find all the world in evening dress, the official mourning, which is curiously impressive. Next afternoon, the prize-winners were taken to be presented to the new King [Gustav V]. Winter darkness in those latitudes falls at three o'clock, and it was snowing. One half of the vast acreage of the Palace sat in darkness, for there lay the dead King's body. We were conveyed along interminable corridors looking out into black quadrangles, where snow whitened the cloaks of the sentries, the breeches of old-time cannon, and the shotpiles alongside of them. Presently, we reached a living world of more corridors and suites all lighted up, but wrapped in that Court hush which is like no other silence on earth. Then, in a great lit room, the weary-eyed, overworked, new King, saying to each the words appropriate to the occasion. Next, the Queen, in marvellous Mary Queen of Scots mourning, a few words, and the return piloted by soft-footed Court officials through a stillness so deep that one heard the click of the decorations on their uniforms. They said that the last words of the old King had been 'Don't let them shut the theatres for me.' So Stockholm that night went soberly about her pleasures, all dumbed down under the snow.
--Rudyard Kipling, Something of Myself

University Communications
By Kelli Hoff
OCT. 28, 2005--The Theta Chi Fraternity at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls raised more than $600 for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). Members of the fraternity raise money by participating in a charity walk, held at the Mall of America, on Oct. 9.
Crohn's disease and colitis are more commonly known as Irritable Bowel Disease, which affects hundreds of thousands of people in the United States. Each year CCFA holds the walk to raise money to put toward finding a cure for Crohn's and ulcerative colitis.
Theta Chi participated in the walk last year as well, and had excellent member turnouts both years. Members of the fraternity raised money for the miles they circled while walking around the mall.
Cory Lanoux, of River Falls, Wis., and Oakdale, Minn., is chair of Theta Chi's philanthropy board. Lanoux said 22 brothers participated this year and those would didn't walk sponsored to those who did.
"Most of the money comes from the guys themselves or from other [UW-RF] students," Lanoux said.
Theta Chi's involvement with the walk started because Lanoux's sister Ruby, also a student at UW-RF, has Crohn's disease. She is also a "Theta Chi Dream Girl." She and Cory are both counselors at Camp Oasis, which is a camp for children with the disease.
UW-RF Sorority Alpha Sigma Alpha also joined in the walk this year, after discovering one of its members also has the disease.
It made the event "all the more meaningful for everyone," said Lanoux, "It is a really great thing to see so many people supporting this cause on behalf of people you know."
For more information about Crohn's disease, or to make a donation, visit CCFA's Website at www.ccfa.org .

Seems to me that everyone refers to the ship as the HMS Bounty. As far as I know she was never part of the Royal Navy (or any other navy for that matter). Just a quibble but I find it annoying
You are right. The original was the HMS Bounty because it was a Navy boat even if it was not designed to be one. The replica, as you said, was just a bad replica and makes not any sense to call her "Her (or His) Majesty Ship", specially in Republican America
Regarding seaworthiness given all things equal, a bigger ship is a more seaworthy ship. Regarding the Bounty it all depends of how it was made bigger: It was made bigger according the designs of a Naval Architect? and even so it would have to be one experienced in the designs of that type of ships, I mean old wooden ships. I guess that it would not be anyone that would be confident in what regards scantlings on a wood XVIII century ship design.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The Broadway show within a show on NBC's "Smash" is getting its own cast album.
NBC and Columbia Records said Sunday that a 22-song cast album for "Bombshell," the mythical Broadway play at the center of the television show "Smash," will be released on Feb. 12. Katherine McPhee, Megan Hilty and other "Smash" cast members perform the songs on the disc. NBC premieres the drama's second season a week before the album comes out.
Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said they'd often talked about launching "Bombshell" as an actual Broadway show but haven't taken any steps to make that a reality. Zadan said he believed the cast recording for "Bombshell" could stand up with the music on any current Broadway show.
The soundtrack has music from both seasons.

Intellectual origins
Mussolini and Hitler did not invent fascist ideology. Indeed, fascism was neither a 20th-century creation nor a peculiarly Italian or German one. Originating in the 19th century, fascist ideas appeared in the works of writers from France as well as Austria, Germany, and Italy, including political theorists such as Theodor Fritsch, Paul Anton de Lagarde, Julius Langbehn, Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels, Joseph de Maistre, Charles Maurras, and Georges Sorel; scientists and philosophers such as Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Giovanni Gentile, Gustave Le Bon, Friedrich Nietzsche, Vilfredo Pareto, Karl Vogt, and Ernst Haeckel; historians and social thinkers such as Joseph-Arthur, comte de Gobineau, Hippolyte Taine, and Heinrich von Treitschke; artists, writers, and journalists such as Gabriele D'Annunzio, Richard Wagner, Édouard Drumont, Maurice Barrès, and Guido von List; and conservative politicians such as Otto Böckel and Adolf Stoecker.
Many fascist ideas derived from the reactionary backlash to the progressive revolutions of 1789, 1830, 1848, and 1871 and to the secular liberalism and social radicalism that accompanied these upheavals. De Maistre condemned the 18th-century Enlightenment for having subverted the dominance of traditional religion and traditional elites and paid homage to the public executioner as the protector of a divinely sanctioned social hierarchy. Taine lamented the rise to power of the masses, whom he suggested were at a lower stage of biological evolution than aristocrats. Le Bon wrote a primer on how to divert the barbarism of the masses from revolution to reaction. Barrès fused ethnic rootedness with authoritarian nationalism and contended that too much civilization led to decadence and that hatred and violence were energizing remedies.
German populist politicians and writers such as Stoecker, Böckel, and Fritsch extolled the idea of racially pure peasants close to the soil who would one day follow a charismatic leader able to intuit the Volk soul without benefit of elections. Anti-Semitism was a staple in the work of Drumont, Maurras, Lagarde, Langbehn, and a host of other best-selling authors. Britain's Houston Stewart Chamberlain preached Aryan racism, and many of the anti-Semitic ideas espoused by Carl Lueger's Christian Social Party and Georg von Schönerer's Pan-German movement in Austria were later adopted by Hitler.
Racial Darwinists such as Vogt, Haeckel, Treitschke, Langbehn, Lagarde, and Chamberlain glorified the survival of the fittest, scolded humanitarians for attempting to protect the racially unfit, and rejected the idea of social equality ("Equality is death, hierarchy is life," wrote Langbehn). Chamberlain saw no reason to give inferior races equal rights. Treitschke raged against democracy, socialism, and feminism (all of which he attributed to Jews), insisted that might made right, and praised warrior imperialism ("Brave peoples expand, cowardly peoples perish"). Lagarde said of the Slavs that "the sooner they perish the better it will be for us and them," and he called for the extermination of the Jews—a sentiment that was shared by his contemporary Langbehn. As John Weiss remarked of Lagarde and Langbehn, "The two most influential and popular intellectuals of late nineteenth century Germany were indistinguishable from Nazi ideologists." Weiss also noted that "the press and popular magazines of Germany and Central Europe had fed a steady diet of racial nationalism to the public since the last quarter of the nineteenth century, and anti-Semitic stereotypes were nothing if not commonplace in German mass culture."
In the late 19th century many conservative nationalists were philosophical idealists who accused liberals and socialists of materialism and thereby portrayed their own politics as more spiritual. Other 19th-century thinkers propagated some protofascist ideas while rejecting others. Nietzsche rhapsodized about the heroic vitality of elite souls who were uninhibited by Christian ethics or liberal humanitarianism, but he was appalled by völkisch nationalism and anti-Semitism. Similarly, Sorel preached violence as an antidote for decadence—an idea that Mussolini admired—but his economic thought was too socialistic for most fascists.
Social bases of fascist movements
Despite their long history in European thought, fascist ideas prospered politically only when perceived economic threats increased their appeal to members of certain social groups. In 1928, before the onset of the Great Depression in Germany, Hitler received less than 3 percent of the vote; after 1930, however, far more voters—many of them middle and lower-middle class individuals fearful of "proletarianization"—gave him their support. The economic anxiety underlying the success of Nazism was reflected to some extent in party membership, which was drawn disproportionately from economic elites and other high-status groups—especially for leadership positions. These posts also contained large numbers of university professors, high school teachers, higher civil servants, former military officers, doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and landed aristocrats. In the lower ranks of the party, white-collar workers were overrepresented and blue-collar workers were underrepresented. Similarly, in Italy, as historian Charles Maier has shown, fascism originally received most of its support from large and small landowners who felt beleaguered by landless farm workers and from businessmen and white-collar workers who felt a similar threat from industrial workers. In 1927, 75 percent of the membership of Mussolini's party came from the middle and lower-middle classes and only 15 percent from the working class. Nearly 10 percent came from Italy's economic elites, who represented a much smaller portion of the general population.
The Nazis drew more support from small towns than they did from large cities. In rural areas, Protestants were overrepresented in the party, and Catholics were underrepresented. In less-industrialized countries—such as Spain, Portugal, Poland, Romania, and Hungary—fascists relied more heavily on rural support. In Japan many fascist activists were originally young army officers, low-level civil servants, small landowners, small factory owners, masters of small workshops, primary school teachers, and Shintō and Buddhist priests.

Program Incentive Policy for Faculty and Program Directors
Gustavus created a Program Incentive Policy to encourage faculty and program directors to seek external funding by providing them with additional support. Its purpose is to provide incentives to those individuals who have helped generate indirect costs (facilities and administrative costs) for the College. Faculty receive 25% of the recovered indirect cost amount. Funds can be used to enhance teaching, research and scholarship, or program. More information regarding this policy is available online.

Hamilton gets 30 in Pistons' 101-89 win over Kings
By AP
SACRAMENTO, CA – Richard Hamilton scored 30 points and the Detroit Pistons pulled away in the third quarter to defeat the struggling Sacramento Kings 101-89 on Tuesday night.
After taking a 12-point lead in halftime, Hamilton keyed a third-quarter effort that hiked the Pistons' advantage to 30 at one point. Hamilton scored the first eight points of the quarter and finished the period with 14 as the Pistons took an 83-58 lead into the fourth.
Tyreke Evans had 28 points and a career-high 13 assists for the Kings, who have dropped five straight since beating the Pistons in their final game before the All-Star break. Carl Landry scored 18 points in his Sacramento debut after being acquired last week from Houston.

Maintain buildings without more taxes
I have hoped to see a "for sale" sign on the vacated administration property, with the money going toward schools — no tax increase. Today's deductions are tomorrow's taxpayers.

(a) Palmitic acid has a higher melting point than myristic acid as palmitic acid has longer fatty acid chain, which results in increase dispersion force due to increased surface area. Therefore, palmitic acid has higher melting point than myristic acid.
(b) Oleic acid has lower melting point than stearic acid. Oleic acid and stearic acid are unsaturated fatty acid and saturated fatty acid, respectively. Breaking intermolecular forces between molecules of unsaturated fatty acid is easier than forces between saturated fatty acid. Therefore, less amount of energy is enough to break the intermolecular forces in oleic acid and it has lower melting point than stearic acid.

"It is like grappa," says Amy Besa, owner of Cendrillon, a Filipino fusion restaurant in Soho and the first to carry pure lambanog in the city. For centuries, grappa was created and imbibed by Italian peasants from what was left after making winethe pressed stems, pulp, and seeds of grapes. A finely distilled grappa can now fetch as much as $600. Can the same thing happen for lambanog?
Like grappa, lambanog is harvested from the stem of the fruit instead of the fruit itself (the stem is cut before the flower even develops). Once the sap is collected, it is allowed to ferment into a toddy called tuba, which is then distilled. Tastewise, the drink bears little resemblance to grappait's much sweeter, more akin to a potent vodka (lambanog runs 80 to 90 proof). Unlike most of the lambanog drunk in the Philippines, the brand Besa imports is 100% pure. Because of the difficulty in collecting the sap, the local lambanog is often watered down with another cheaper neutral grain, explains Besa. "You can tell the difference."
Cendrillon offers straight shots of lambanog, but the strong alcohol really works best as a base for cocktailsmellowed with a little buko (young coconut juice) over ice, or added to a tropical martini with buko and a passion fruit or mango sorbet. Come summer, Cendrillon will be combining it with fresh-squeezed coconut milk for their own tempting take on Coco Loco.
Personally, we'd like to see it featured on more bar menus in Manhattanif only for a reprieve from the toxic waste-colored sour apple martini and, more recently, drinks featuring the trendy but ultimately underwhelming addition of black tea. Is lambanog the new grappa?

a starry
(sorry, but I wanted to add more just "a")
a princess looked out of her window.
Suddenly she jumped back, unprepared for what she saw.
She ran to her father, King Random, to see if he knew what was going on.
He assured her... "Don't worry sweet daughter. It must have been the falcon trainer. He has some beautiful animals."
(P.S. I don't know the english word for this person, we call him a 'valkenier' a 'falcon trainer')
The princess got curious and ask: "What's he training the birds for father...?"
The Princess decided to go outside to get a better view.
Just then, the large eagle swooped down on top of her, grabbed the back of her dress with his talons, and carried her off.
The princess whistled and out of nowhere, Moose - her flying pet squirrel, flew to her side.

Yash Raj Films and Ajay Devgn Films lock horns over the former's alleged monopoly of single screens
It claims to be one big happy family, but as in all family dramas replete with dirty politics, open challenges and verbal volleys, Bollywood witnessed its nastiest this week.
Yash Raj Films (YRF) and Ajay Devgn Films (ADF)'s movies — Jab Tak Hai Jaan (SRK-Katrina-Anushka) and Son Of Sardaar (Ajay Devgn-Sanjay Dutt-Sonakshi) — are clashing at the box-office coming Tuesday (i.e. Diwali, November 13).
Ajay Devgn, who filed a plea with the Competition Commission of India (CCI), against Yash Raj Films' alleged monopoly of single-screen theatres, is an angry man.
The actor's production house ADF's plea is that YRF entered into a tie-in arrangement with the exhibitors during the Eid release of its film Ek Tha Tiger (Salman Khan's pre-guaranteed super-hit) that made it compulsory for the exhibitors to screen Jab Tak Hai Jaan (JTHJ) on Deepavali day and two weeks thereafter with all four shows. ADF's claim is that this violates the provisions of the Competition Act, 2002, more particularly, Section 3.
"Why wasn't it raised earlier? Why wait till now when both films are nearing release," asked YRF in a press statement, adding that that JTHJ would be a 2012 Deepavali release was announced in June 2011 itself. When asked why he delayed the petition, Ajay says, "We had been fighting it out with the distributors and exhibitors for the last three months. I have had to take this step as a last resort," says Ajay. "Single screens are obviously very important. We have ended up getting only 600 whereas, we should have got double the amount," says Ajay.
"In Mumbai, just the Dadar area has seven single-screen cinemas, out of which we have only one and they have six. In Hyderabad city, out of 17 single-screen (Hindi-playing) cinemas, we have just two and they have the rest." YRF's press statement said, "Worldwide, as well as in India, distributors often sign deals for their complete annual slate of films to simplify the process. We trust the Competition Commission will also see it as universally acceptable fair business practiceji."
YRF claims to have booked less than 1,500 single screens out of the 10,500-plus available across India. ADF counters this by saying that most of the 'available' theatres are either in the Southern belt or are not functional.
The timing of the plea may have gone awry for Ajay Devgn as Yash Chopra, YRF's founder and director of JTHJ, passed away recently, and a few industry people were trying to talk Ajay into postponing his film.
"How can I do that? I can't release it the succeeding week as they have pre-booked for two weeks. My response is, if I push my film back by a fortnight will everyone else too? There is Aamir waiting in line (Talaash), followed by Akshay (Khiladi 786) and then Salman (Dabangg 2). Yes, with Mr. Yash Chopra passing away, the timing is sad, but my petition was filed before that. I don't want any compensation. I'm doing this to ensure my film gets an equal and fair opportunity for business."
NOTE: As we were going to Press, Ajay Devgn Films' plea had been rejected by the Competition Commission of India. When contacted, the official spokesperson of ADF said, "We are shocked by the rejection of our legitimate case by the CCI. We have approached the Appellate Tribunal against the order."

Q. We have a number of parts that require rework. Can you recommend a method for stripping nickel chrome from steel? We have attempted to use a sodium nitrate solution using six volts, but have not had good results. P.C.
A. You did not mention in your e-mail whether you are just attempting to strip the chrome or strip both the chrome and the underlying bright nickel. Chrome can be stripped in a number of ways, none of which are perfect.
A non-electrical method is to use a hydrochloric acid solution. The recommended concentration is usually 16 fl oz/gal at 110–130°F. another method involves using electrical current and either sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate. Sodium hydroxide is used at a concentration of 7 oz/gal and sodium carbonate is used at approximately 9 oz/gal. The work is made anodic with 6 V at room temperature. This procedure works reasonably well but does cause smutting of the surface.
If you are trying to strip nickel from steel, sulfuric acid is recommended. A typical concentration is approximately 80 fl oz/gal at 6 V. Lead cathodes are usually used and the work is made anodic. This process must be used with care, since there is a tendency of the steel substrate to pit.

Groundbreaking Set For New Orleans East Hospital
A groundbreaking will be held at 2 p.m., marking the start of a new full-service hospital for New Orleans East. It's a major step forward in Hurricane Katrina recovery.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu is inviting the public to attend the ceremony at the former Pendleton Memorial Methodist Hospital. Archbishop Gregory Aymond is scheduled to take part, along with city officials and elected representatives.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is insuring a loan of nearly $98 million for the facility, and FEMA is contributing $48 million.

Senate asked: Probe release of Sayyaf men by DOJ group
ILIGAN CITY—More than 70 civil society organizations and individuals engaged in human rights and peace advocacy work in Mindanao have called on the Senate to investigate what they said was the suspicious release of suspected Abu Sayyaf members as ordered by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
In February, the Anti-Terrorism Task Force of the DOJ ordered the release of 18 suspects in the Aug. 20, 2002, kidnapping and beheading of Jehovah's Witness members in Patikul, Sulu.
A 12-page report of the task force said that of the 18, 13 were victims of mistaken identity while there was a lack of probable cause to indict five others.
Of those released on Feb. 15, three—Muhammad Sali Said, Robin Sahiyal and Julhamad Ahadi—appeared as prosecution witness in the bail hearing of Sulu human rights activist Temogen "Cocoy" Tulawie at a Manila court, according to Maria Arnold Noel, a nun who is among the signatories to a petition asking the Senate to investigate the suspects' release.
Tulawie is facing two criminal charges in connection with the May 13, 2009, bombing in Patikul, Sulu, supposedly aimed at a convoy of former governor and now Vice Gov. Abdusakur Tan.
Noel said the release of Said, Sahiyal and Ahadi "was highly likely timed for their court appearance." She added that it was learned that the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos was instrumental in the release of the suspects.
Said admitted in court that he was released from prison with the help of the lawyer of Tan, who offered to help him on condition that his group agreed to stand as witnesses against Tulawie.
"In open court, these men have admitted that they are bombers, kidnappers and proud active members of the Abu Sayyaf group," the petition of Noel's group said.
According to Noel, Said executed an affidavit and later testified in court that he is an active Abu Sayyaf member and was one of those who planned and executed the 2009 Patikul bombing of Tan's convoy.
Noel said that during a court hearing in March, Said also admitted taking part in the kidnapping of broadcaster Ces Drilon and Mindanao State University professor Octavio Dinampo in 2008.
"He even stated proudly that for that crime, he has not been charged at all," said Noel.
"Who repackaged these highly dangerous terrorists to fall under the legal assistance program and make them appear as innocent Muslims wrongly arrested due to mistaken identity?" Noel's group said.
A spate of bomb attacks has hit Cagayan de Oro City and Cotabato City, but authorities are reluctant to quickly link these to terror groups. Ryan Rosario, Inquirer Mindanao
