Product description
The Scottish poet Robert Burns has been idolised and eulogised. He has been sainted, painted, tarted up and toasted. He is famous as the author of "Auld Lang Syne", and he has long since become the patron saint of the heart-sore and the hung-over. But what about the poems? Beneath the cult of Burns' Nights and patriotic yawps, there is the work itself, among the purest and most truthful created in any age.This is a Burns collection like no other: a reader's edition, made for the pleasure of reading. Novelist and Scottish essayist Andrew O'Hagan comes into company with the poet who has mattered most to him in his writing life. He selects the poems for the reader, and converses with the work, offering fragments and distilled commentary of his own.The effect is explosive, giving us Robert Burns at his very best - a political Burns, a poet who can name hypocrisy and intolerance, and point directly to the human heart.

Review quote
"'Save this collection a place at your Burn's table.'- Guardian * 'People who find it hard to get into Robert Burns have the answer to their prayers with this book. Here are The Greatest Poems presented in a way that Burns himself would have enjoyed -- letting the poems chime and rhyme with the debates that surround us in the world today. Somebody clever once said that poetry helps you to live your life, and here is Burns at his most helpful, in conversation with a Scottish writer who loves him, Andrew O'Hagan. I think the book will change a lot of people's attitude to poetry.' - Ewan McGregor * 'The way Burns sounded, his choice of words, his rhymes and metaphors, all that collapsed the distance I expected to feel between myself and the schoolbook poetry I encountered first at Anahorish Elementary School...He did not fail the Muse or us or himself as one of poetry's chosen instruments.' - Seamus Heaney * 'O'Hagan strips away the sentimentality which continues to cling to Burn's coat-tails and offers him to us at his very best - political, passionate, incisive and expressive - with biographical and textual notes that greatly enrich the reader's experience.' - The Guardian * 'Picking out his favourite Burns poems, [O'Hagan] explains why each of them still matters, either personally or politically, with the lucidity one has come to expect from one of the leading Scottish essayists and novelists of his generation.' - The Scotsman"

The Justice Department says it supports a multi-agency effort to create an online portal for Freedom of Information Act requests.
A department spokeswoman issued a statement on March 27 in response to a story published the previous day which reported on allegations from watchdog groups that the department was hindering the effort. The groups said DOJ was suspected of discouraging other agencies from participating in the FOIA Web portal development project led by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Justice officials tried to steer agencies toward the department's own FOIA.gov website, the watchdogs also charged. FOIA.gov primarily compiles multiple agency performance statistics on FOIA requests.
Melanie Ann Pustay, director of Justice's Office of Information Policy, said in the statement that her office "supports" all other agency efforts to improve the administration of FOIA.
"In the Attorney General's FOIA Guidelines all agencies were directed to look for ways to increase efficiencies and to explore greater use of technology to improve the FOIA process. The Office of Information Policy supports all agencies' efforts to further that directive," Pustay said in the statement.
Her office "is also working individually with EPA as it is developing its FOIA module and looks forward to seeing the project develop. All innovations in FOIA administration are welcome," Pustay said in the emailed statement.
Asked about the allegations that DOJ officials may have urged other agencies not to participate in the multi-agency FOIA Web portal, Gina Talamona, a spokeswoman for Pustay, said those claims were "wrong." Talamona declined to provide a more detailed response, other than what was contained in the e-mailed statement.
Pustay also said in the statement she has convened an inter-agency working group to serve as a forum for a discussion on how technology can be used for FOIA.
The watchdog groups making the allegations included the Project on Government Oversight, OMB Watch and OpentheGovernment.org.
They noted in a letter to the White House on March 19 that DOJ's FOIA.gov and the EPA-led upcoming FOIA Web portal serve different functions. While the Justice website serves mostly to highlight mass performance data, the EPA-designed website offers users a central location to submit and track FOIA requests for multiple agencies.
Ideally, the EPA-designed FOIA Web portal would be supported and utilized by all federal agencies because that would make it most effective and efficient, the watchdog groups said.
Justice officials did not immediately respond when asked if the department would participate in the EPA-led FOIA Web portal and allow users to submit and track FOIA requests through that portal.
However, Talamona said that Justice recently developed a similar submission and tracking capability on the department's own FOIA.gov website.
"OIP just launched an online request portal which can be used to make requests to the senior management offices of the Department of Justice, as well as to make administrative appeals. Through this online portal requesters can also track the status of their requests anytime, using their personalized account, and can receive their responsive documents through the portal," Talamona said.

Fabulous smell, delicious even. And so rich. I keep a tube in the car and will put one in my office and at home when I run out of the garbage currently using. I love that it's all natural and it truly works.

A friend and I were up visiting friends for a family party so we chose to stay at The Craftsman. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Although the rooms were somewhat outdated, the beds were VERY comfortable and the bathrooms were clean (two of my "must haves"). We were given a coupon for breakfast at the restaurant next door. It was delicious. We have friends in the area so we'll be back for sure!
The Craftsman looks like it hasn't been updated in a while. Everything was clean but bathrooms were outdated. Shower pressure was awful. Restaurant was next door. It would've been nice to have a free continental breakfast IN the hotel.
Enjoyed swimming laps in their clean pool
Nice assortment of foods for breakfast
Clean, quiet rooms
Great customer service from Heather at front desk. Fixed a reservation problem quickly and pleasently.
Location was central to where I needed to be. Staff nice.
Really run down! Not updated over the years. Pillows, sheets & towels all yellowing & stained. TV stations limited. Not a place where business travelers stay; appeared to be a place where poor families live.
Able to have late dinner and a ber
1st room broken AC
2nd room broken toilet
3rd room dirty bathroom with hair everywhere
Very clean rooms.
nice staff.
Parts of the hotel are out dated and a little run down like the bathrooms and the stairwells.
The rooms where dirty, sheets not clean, smelled old. Very uncomfortable.
location, friendly service, room layout
I would add more to the breakfast choices, fruit/vegetables.
breakfast selection was good.
Very nice breakfast , waffles, eggs,fruit and danishes
Historic hotel in great location. Decent room size, friendly staff.
Public spaces, breakfast area was kind of dark.
Clean well appointed rooms, modern amenities, comfortable beds- very luxurious. Very centrally located, walking distance to several good restaurants. What an incredible treat to stay in such a historic, posh hotel. A great stay!
Elevator a bit slow.
The hotel was clean and had a convienent location, The rooms are spacious and the staff were friendly.
The staff here was extremely helpfull.
The hotel lobby has a home cottage look and feel that appealed to my personality.
The beds were second to none and I've stayed at 5 stars that had worse beds.
The breakfast was excellent especially since i had a 8 hour drive to my next destination.
the hotel was comfortable and was in the process of finishing a remodelling so it was all new and looked great!
The odor from the carpet glue was strong in the elevators but other then that (was to be expected with all new carpets and walls) the hotel would and will be on my remember list of places to stay in Syracuse NY
Noisy heating system... Old and warn out
The room reaked of smoke. Asked for another room and was rudely helped
It was clean and comfortable
The service was very good. Everyone at the front desk was cheerful and helpful. The breakfast was very good. Everywhere I went in the hotel was clean and neat.
The pool was wonderful!
Professional & courteous staff, modern & clean rooms, convenient location
The room itself was great - big comfy bed, mini kitchen which included a toaster, microwave, fridge, pots and pans, and utensils. The double head shower was also very clean.
They have a shuttle service that picks you up and takes you places within a 2mile radius which is great except it takes 30 min to come get you and then sometimes if it already has passengers it takes you all the way out to the airport when you just had to walk 10min. The breakfast wasn't anything great.. They had lots of options but everything was very bland, typical hotel food. I was sick for a full day because the milk I had was bad even though it hadn't expired. I think it might have been left out to spoil just a little too long.
Value. Staff was very friendly. Good location close to dining, shopping, etc.
We arrived late just before 10PM and checked the website before we got there to make sure the restaurant would be open. The website said their hours that night were until 11PM but they refused to prepare any food for us saying they closed at 10.
Staff,spa,room were all excellent
Not a thing
Room cleanliness was great
Love their chocolate cookie gift upon check in and the candy bar in the room
Very convenient off 90 thruway
Cost was great for location and overall hotel quality
Thank you for complimentary breakfast buffet
Mattress comfort & quality was Just OK
The restaurant is to the left of the front hotel entrance and there was loudness
I stayed on the Hilton Honors level and noticed the noise level adjacent to my room and one level below. More sound-proofing needed
The rate we booked at was great.
But NO reminders close to the booking, so booking.com, or Best Western let us know about an upcoming stay, say a week prior, so gives us an opportunity to cancel, if we need to. any no flexibility by local management. I could not negotiate an extended stay or anything, with bookings.com or local mgmt. They just too my penalty. I'll NEVER book with bookings.com or Best Western again!
Good value and convenient to our destination. Staff was pleasant and accommodations were as pictured from website.
NOISE LEVEL: The fixtures in our room were noisy. (Whenever the toilet was flushed or water run in the bathroom, there was a high pitched screech. Also, the mini-fridge and the air conditioning unit were unusually loud when they cycled.) Also found sounds traveled as guests moved around upstairs or in adjoining rooms.
Here's why:

Mercury turns stationary direct Friday, 3 p.m. (West Coast) at 19 degrees Leo. The new moon, 16 degrees Virgo, is Sunday night (8:04 p.m.). Join the New Group of World Servers for the new moon festival by reciting the Great Invocation.
Burning Man has presciently (French: foreknowledge) named their theme this year "Rites of Passage." Providing a link or bridge between the death of one reality and the birth of another, the idea of Rites of Passage can also be applied to what is occurring to humanity and our economy in our present world situation. Esoterically, as the economic system seems to be floundering with erratic ups and downs, we can understand this as the withdrawal of Ray 6 (competitive age of values) and the emergence of Ray 7 (new Aquarian values of sharing). Change creates a disturbance in the fabric of accepted reality for society and individuals.

Remember the night when James Durbin got booted off of American Idol? Remember that feeling of shock, perhaps anger. Really? The Durb was being passed over for two other singers—can't recall their names?—who apparently captured more votes. But here's the thing about voting—inasmuch as it's truly a cool thing, oftentimes one has to take into consideration how educated, informed and, well, empathic the voters actually are. (See George W. Bush elections 2000 and 2004.) Which brings us to the folks on the Coastal Commission who voted down the proposed La Bahia project last week (6-4 with two members absent). Most the heat is being directed to supervisor Mark Stone, who's also shown a lack of support for the Arana Gulch project, and was thought to have influenced the board of the Coastal Commission, which consists of 12 members. (Stone is the current vice chairman.)
I feel like not only do I not understand what the Federal Reserve is doing. I have doubts whether they understand what they're doing.

We are seeing in our world today the "withering of the law," the old ways falling away, having completed their usefulness. However, as this is occurring (allowing Ray 7, the new culture and civilization to form), great retrogressive forces are also at play (Ray 6, old regime of power, corruption, money and politics), attempting, with great cleverness and cunning, to hinder humanity's forward movement into a new evolutionary field.
Each of us has a level of service to bring forth so the evolutionary movement can be accomplished. We have a "note" that "sounds" our highest values that bring about transformation. The Tibetan, in his blue books, tells us we must realize our identity as Divine, as World Servers and World Saviors.

It's the middle of August and summer is rolling along. On our radar: The fate of La Bahia, the proposed overhaul of the existing property in Beach Flats into a top-notch hotel. Things come to a head on the issue of whether it's a go or not this week (Thursday). We keep up to date on the matter online, so be sure to head to goodtimessantacruz.com and learn more. Comment on the matter, too. At a time when the City of Santa Cruz could use a wonderful new revenue stream, La Bahia could be a saving grace. It would also make a positive difference in the local community.
Speaking of making a positive difference, we are inspired by several enterprising teens—one from Beach Flats, actually—who are doing just that.
Let's start making things in America again, and let's shop local.

The full moon, Leo solar festival, is Saturday around noon (Pacific time). Leo calls us to a self-identity, which then allows us to choose, in this worldwide critical time, which side we support, the side of the retrogressive forces (dark) or the side of evolution (Light). It's been a difficult astrological few weeks. The United States is experiencing Saturn return (Saturn in Libra). Saturn, Dweller on the Threshold, points out personality hindrances (materialism) obstructing Spiritual work. This is occurring to everyone as well as to the United States. We (individuals, citizens, the U.S.) must address the Dweller in order to safeguard our future.
The U.S. (transits/natal chart) is experiencing extreme instability, positioned precariously between dark and light, with great opportunities ahead should the Dweller be addressed.

Hopefully, we can give you a helping hand. In our annual fashion issue, fashion maven/Features Editor Christa Martin spotlights the creative movers and shakers on the local design scene, a fun endeavor. But be sure to check out what's happening online, too—a great deal of fashion giveaways await. (See this page.) Embrace it all beginning.

SparkFun Electronics will be closed on July 3rd, 2015 in observance of Independence Day. Any orders placed after 2:00pm MT on July 2nd will be shipped out after the weekend. Thanks!
Description: Have you ever needed a cheap way to activate something from across the room? Infrared remotes are still the cheapest way to wirelessly control a device. We have designed the remote to be small, very simple, and low-cost. For the majority of the projects we build, we don't need 34 buttons, we need one or two. It makes more sense to provide you with a cheap and easy to use remote.
Our infrared remote control offers buttons for four directions, power, select, and three optional use buttons (labled "A," "B," and "C"). Unfortunately we can't guarantee that it will work with your Stuart Hughes' PrestigeHD Supreme Rose Edition though. Rather, we are carrying this remote to work with many of the more common IR receiver ICs.
This kit includes an infrared remote control, a couple infrared receivers, some resistors, and even some IR LEDs. Using this kit, you can control your Arduino with the included remote control, or use the receiver and LEDs to communicate from one board to another. You can even use your own remote control, or use the kit to control your TV or stereo!

Events vary in nature, but always bring high school-age youth closer to one another, to their Judaism, and to the greater community. The relationships built in BESSY go beyond the strictly social to encourage and build the leaders not just of tomorrow but of today.
BESSY is NFTY (National Federation of Temple Youth, a program of the URJ) affiliated. Teens are encouraged to participate in regional NFTY events throughout the year!

GREENFIELD — All it took was one influential teacher for Della Benefiel to know what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
She was in high school at the time, playing cornet in the school band.
"I had a fantastic music teacher," she said. "It was then I decided."

Yasuhito Doi From Komfie Manalo, Opalesque Asia:
The continued depreciation of the Japanese yen and the impact of international investors buying Japanese equity will contribute to the upward trend of the equity market, said Yasuhito Doi, a hedge fund manager working for Japan-focused fund management firm ASTMAX Asset Management.
Speaking during the latest 2013 Opalesque Japan Roundtable, Doi said, "I think that the Japanese equity market will continue to go up for a while. I can't say how long, but intuitively I think that a continued depreciation of the Japanese Yen will contribute to the upward trend of the equity
market, together with the impact of international investors buying Japanese equity, as Koshiba [Masahiro] san already mentioned."
The 2013 Opalesque Japan Roundtable was sponsored by Eurex and Taussig Capital and took place on April 24th in Tokyo.
Doi was referring to an earlier statement given by Koshiba of hedge fund incubation firm United Managers Japan who pointed out that the so-called "Abenomics" introduced by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe saw big money flows entering into Japan.

From Genesis to Revelation, the Power Bible will show who God is and how Jesus came to save us from our sins.

I know it goes against the general tide to praise this film (the only
place I've ever read a really positive review of it being the back of its
own video cover), but I'm going to do it--and I'll even attach my name!
in my opinion, this musical adaptation by Leslie Bricusse of Hugh
delightful "Doctor Dolittle" series succeeds in a great many respects. I
enchanted as a child when I saw it in the cinema, and I still enjoy
it on video with my own children.
The admittedly meandering plot combines elements from various of the Dolittle books, but it essentially concerns the Victorian veterinarian's quest for the Great Pink Sea Snail, an animal whose language he hopes to add to the thousands he has already learned. Thus the first part of the movie takes Dolittle and his friends through several adventures on their way to earning the money to make the journey, while the second finds the entourage actually setting sail (on the aptly-named "Flounder") for Sea Star Island and their goal. And, even if the musical *is* so front-end-loaded with big numbers that the second half seems anticlimactic, and even if the resolution of the plot's final conflict *is* jarringly abrupt, and even if the film's direction *is* a tad slow, it is *also* the case that I find more than enough pleasures along the way to compensate for these shortcomings.
One is Bricusse's marvelous score. Besides the Academy Award-winning "Talk to the Animals," he includes two other showcase pieces for star Rex Harrison's trademark "powerful patter" delivery, the humorous "Vegetarian" and the impassioned "Like Animals." Other up-tempo winners are "I've Never Seen Anything Like It" (brilliantly put across by Richard Attenborough--the twinkle never leaves his eye!--in what amounts to an extended cameo as wily circus-master Albert Blossom) and "Faraway Places," while tender ballads "When I look in Your Eyes" and "Beautiful Things" are very affecting. And if "After Today" seems to have been pulled from the trunk of another show by mistake, the other Anthony Newly numbers--including "My Friend the Doctor" and "This is the World of Doctor Dolittle" (as well as the lovely "Where are the Words," which is on my soundtrack album but not in the video)--are spot on.
Another pleasure is the cast. As the Doctor, Harrison is wonderful, of course. The film was originally conceived as a reunion project for him and composing team Lerner & Lowe, who'd written "My Fair Lady," and it's clear that the part was written for the star. But I'm impressed that eventual Lerner & Lowe stand-in Bricusse, though he was obviously influenced by "My Fair Lady," resisted what had to be the temptation to turn the main character into Henry Higgins--and that Harrison also didn't see the gig as a mere Higgins reprise. The charming Doctor--kind to animals, children, and people from all walks of life; educated and capable but somehow sweetly clueless at the same time; gentle but rousable to anger on behalf of his charges--is a different character, and Harrison gets him right.
As for the other leads, Anthony Newly, for once, is perfect as the elfin Matthew Mugg, while child actor and "whatever-happened-to" candidate William Dix is a fine if underused Tommy Stubbins. Even Samantha Eggar, in the mis-conceived role of a tentative love-interest for Dolittle, does well with the part she's been given. And strong support is provided by the aforementioned Attenborough, Peter Bull as the beefy English squire who is the closest thing to a villain in this piece, and Geoffrey Holder as Willie Shakespeare, head of a quirkily-PC group of island natives encountered during the voyage.
Finally, there's the appearance of the film: it's beautiful. If you find you can't enjoy a musical unless it's shot on a soundstage, the wide-open spaces won't work for you, but I loved all the wonderful locations.
This is a big movie, long and theatrically-structured (Overture, Act I, Entr'acte, Act II, and even Exit Music!). They don't make them like this anymore--which sounds like a straight line, but I mean it in a regretful way. :-) I recommend "Doctor Dolittle" heartily, and I think the family will enjoy it even more if, before you watch it, you read a couple of the original Dolittle books together first!
[P.S.-- don't be put off this film if you didn't happen to like the similarly-titled 1998 Eddie Murphy vehicle which billed itself as a remake. They're completely different!]
My childhood favorite still holds up! In 1967 I remember sitting in the
theater in awe of this tall Englishman that could sing & talk to
As an adult I can sit and enjoy another brilliant performance by the Late Great Sir Rex Harrison (God bless him!), this time as the Good Doctor Dolittle.
Leslie Bricusse has done a wonderful job combining some of the Hugh Lofting tales into a Big Hollywood Musical! I only wish that all the songs made it to the screen. Two were cut, I guess for time (Where are the words?, Something in your smile) but show up on the soundtrack record & CD. Robert Surtee's photography is gorgeous! It really should have walked away with an Oscar that year.
Richard Fleischer brings it altogether beautifully. His direction is just the right pace, letting us enjoy all the fantasy that is set in front of us. No quick cuts, loud noises - Hell, everything that audiences today never see. There is nothing wrong with taking time telling a story - I wish the new Hollywood understood that.
The circus number with Sir Richard Attenborough is just as entertaining today as it was in 1967. The Pushmi-Pullyu may not hold up to the digital effects of today but it's still just as lovable.
This family film is a treasure and it certainly is more to what Hugh Lofting envisioned compared to the recent Eddie Murphy films.
If you ever have a chance to see this in a Theater - GO!
The DVD has a beautiful transfer - I do wish the DVD had more extras, such as the two songs they cut for the final release. But it should be in the family collection.
Remember it has Rex Harrison in the title role. That alone should give you a reason to see it - If you haven't already
Highly atmospheric and splendidly acted this film is a pure joy to watch. Legendary actor Rex Harrison give one of his best screen performances as the eracable,lovable Doctor. Anthony Newley gets one of his rare screen appearances and shows just what a talented performer he was.And of course Lord Attenbourgh's comic turn as Albert Blossom gives him rare comic opportunity.the score is well done by Leslie Bricusse (Newley's long time collaborator.)And the dialogue is sharp and witty. the performance are extremely real for a childeren's fantasy film. Its a shame that the Eddie Murphy misfire has taken recognition away from this charming film.
This has got to be one of the best movies ever made. The many wonderful and most importantly, memorable songs and lively characters contribute to the exciting and magical nature of the storyline. Anyone who can not see the inherent brilliance of this movie within the constraints placed upon films from this era is clearly missing the point. The delightful characters each add their own individual ideas to a film which has touched the hearts of children and adults alike. Rex Harrison plays a wonderful Doctor, forever entertaining and much more convincing than Eddie Murphy in the tragic American remake. This film is brilliant in its own right, and is definitely one for the books.
If the only "Dr. Dolittle" you've ever known is Eddie Murphy's rendition, you need to see Rex Harrison's original performance! The first "Dolittle" has the remake and its sequel beat by a mile! Sure, it has the look and feel of those campy 1960's movies, like "Mary Poppins" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." But it also has the same comfy and family-friendly appeal. The original movie best captures the image of Hugh Lofting's famous veterinarian, in 19th-century England, just as he should be! So never mind Eddie Murphy, and enjoy the real Dr. Dolittle!
I was taken as a child to see this movie in 1967 and loved it. I ended up buying the soundtrack, coloring books, puzzles, etc. It charmed me that much. Today, I still find it to be a great yet under-rated film. The DVD is nice, but this is a movie that is really meant to be seen on the big screen. That is why I also own a copy on 16mm film. What a difference it makes seeing it in this format. Regardless of how you watch it, this movie is entertaining for kids and adults of all ages. Those who might get bored with it are those who prefer the newer version with Eddie Murphey over this classic from 1967. Which, by the way, got nominated for Best Picture and won the Oscar for Best Song (Talk to the Animals). Rex Harrison's performance is outstanding as the wonderful Doctor Dolittle. I give this timeless film an 8 out of 10.
So attached am I to Rex Harrison's personage to the character of Doctor Dolittle, when I see copies of Hugh Lofting's books without the movie tie-in shots I actually feel cheated. There is no other Doctor Dolittle for me. Harrison is wonderful and regal amongst his animals and I love many of his lines (the spin he gives to his dialogue makes the words his own). My favorite: "When you say 'He can speak crab and pelican', they'll say 'Like hell he can!'" (cue parrot's ruffled reaction). Admittedly, "Doctor Dolittle" gets off to a clunky start with Anthony Newley telling of Dolittle's beginnings...and the film goes into stillborn flashback mode. I get defensive if a movie foists a flashback on me in the first 15 minutes (and this flashback is a long one, laden with silly slapstick). Why not start the story with Dolittle finding his voice, cut the introduction with Newley, and then get on with the plot? After this tiresome, talky opening, the pacing does pick up (right about the time Richard Attenborough enters as circus-owner Blossom). Harrison is on-target throughout but, story-wise, momentum doesn't build until the second hour, when Dolittle and his companions hit the South Seas in search of the Great Pink Sea Snail. Overall, the film simply LOOKS smashing, with marvelous locations in England's most beautiful city, Castle Combe. It is flawed (with that bad opening), but stick with it and see if you find Rex Harrison as charming as I did. **1/2 from ****
If you don't appreciate wonderfully made movies that make people happy, go
find a small island to keep away from the rest of the world.
Once again, movies like this prove 'a well thought out and developed plot and storyline' makes the movie a success at its foundation. The 'allstar cast' is just the beautifying of the cake with icing.
The writers seemed to realize that you can't always or do not have to force the plot lines to make a certain length of movie. They allowed the musical numbers to fill it up. On top of that, they didn't try to constrain the timeframe and edit out important details that allow a movie to flow. This is geared towards the family to make people feel good about anything and everything. Many writers these days are leaving films like this up to cartoon animators as cartoons seem to thought of hollywood as the "Childrens' Medium". This is a film that people of any age can feel good about and laugh together with.
Dr. Dolittle brings imagination to life by speaking to animals in a more realistic way. He's studied them and learned from experience how they communicate. He then takes his intelligence, almost by force, out to the world to find rare and unique animals and help out the world with the help of nature. This tale is often inspiring to many children to take care of animals. For those that have grown may remember some of the tunes and find yourself singing along.
The is truly a masterfully done marvel that any treasured classic video collection should have.
Yes the movie has the world is a wonderful beautiful magical place
feel, yes the premise is pretentious at best, yes, yes, yes, but I love
it. I have bought it many times as a gift. I will continue to do so.
Not only is this movie suitable for all the family even when the minister is in the room, but it is fun. The songs like Talk with the Animals and the song about the Pushme-Pullyou are sure to have your children singing and dancing, while other songs like Beautiful People (not the song by Melanie) will draw in even the most adult audience.
This movies comes from a time when people hoped to be able to look to a future without the problems that plagued our past. To all the cynics out there, if you ever get tired of only looking at the bad side of life I strongly recommend this movie, it is food for the soul.
Having grown up loving the music, storyline and animal interactions in the
origional Doctor Dolittle, it was a jarring shock to watch the
scatological-joke loaded remake.
Doctor Dolittle is a wonderful clean family film, with plenty of adult jokes to keep the parents chuckling and visual slapstick to tickle the young ones' funnybones. The music is top rate with the Oscar winning "Walk With the Animals" leading the way as the good Doctor searches for the Great Pink Sea Snail, encountering a number of wacky adventures along the way.
Doctor Dolittle would make a great companion to "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" for an evening of old fashioned family entertainment. Suspend you disbelief for a few hours and watch this one with your kids and toss the remake in the garbage disposal.

Good day, I am currently a noob in Google Drive SDK and I am planning to integrate it in my webapp. I checked out google-api-php-client from their svn and I noticed it's a bit large to include it all in my project (it's 5.6 mb). Excluding all but the src folder, it's still large for me (3.9 mb). I want to include only the files needed for the Google Drive integration to work. But I do not know what files do these two (Google_Client.php and Google_DriveService.php as in Google Developers' sample) depend on.
Can you guys pinpoint what files (that are not related to Drive) I can safely delete? I really want the total file size to be as small as possible 'cause I believe that it can affect the project's loading time.
Thanks(and pardon my English)! :)

Apollo 15 Large Color Mission Photo Signed by Al Worden, Directly from the Jim Rathmann Collection. A 13.75" x 10.75" color photo mounted to a 20" x 16" matboard. A great image of the CM Endeavour as viewed from the LM Falcon (AS15-88-11972) before the docking and return to earth. Worden has boldly signed: "To Jim & Kay--/ Here is a Picture/ of the 75 Lapper I Won./ Had a Good Sponsor Too./ Al Worden". He refers to his seventy-five orbits of the moon in car-racing terms. It has long been speculated that some of the Apollo missions had stickers from Rathmann's car dealership on the equipment. A great and unique item. Mildly faded to a greenish tint, otherwise excellent and ready to frame.

Abbas is not interested in reaching any deal with Israel: he knows that such a move would require him to make concessions. Abbas knows that Israel will never give him 100% of his demands; that is enough for him to refuse to sign any historic agreement.

Finally, after many years of effective disregard, a core irony in the matter of Iranian nuclearization can be acknowledged: For President Ahmadinejad, and also his clerical superiors, any prospect of hastening the Shiite apocalypse – a decidedly "sacred" prospect linked to war with Israel and/or the United States – could be welcomed. Naturally, this religion-driven view of a "terrible beauty" would contrast starkly with senior leadership attitudes in both Jerusalem and Washington. In these plainly more secular circles, of course, any thought of a conscious encouragement for Final Battle must always be rejected.

Marcius D. Raymond
Marcius D. Raymond (April 8, 1833 – December 15, 1911) was an American publisher, writer, genealogist, editor and historian. A gifted speaker and historian, he also contributed frequently to a number of historical societies in New York and Connecticut.
Early life and ancestors[edit]
Marcius Dension Raymond was born on April 8, 1833 at Sherburne, Chenango County, New York and died on December 15, 1911 in Tarrytown, Westchester County, New York. Both he and his wife are buried in West Hill Cemetery in Sherburne, New York. He was the son of Alfred Raymond, Sr. and Sarah Gardiner.[1][2][3][4]
He was a grandson of Mabel Gray, the daughter of John Gray and Elizabeth Skeel;[5] and Newcomb Raymond,[6] the son of David Raymond and Bethia Newcomb-Gray. He was one of the Proprietors and Pioneers of Sherburne, New York and had served in the American Revolutionary War as a private from Connecticut. He was at the Battle of Brandywine, Valley Forge and at the Siege of Yorktown. Mabel and Newcomb were the parents of ten children.
Marcius wrote the following about his father: In his early manhood he taught school several winters, and with a good degree of success. He had marked literary taste, was fond of music, a lover of nature and of art, was possessed of fine feeling, and many engaging manly qualities. He held the offices of Town School Commissioner, and Justice of the Peace, for one term each; was an earnest patriot, a Whig, a Republican, and an upright, honored citizen.[2]
He was an 8th generation direct lineal descendant of Captain Richard Raymond, (1602–1692), and his wife, Julia (or Judith). He was born probably in Essex County, England and arrived in Salem, Massachusetts about 1629, possibly with a contingent led by the Rev. Francis Higginson. The first actual date given for Richard is on August 6, 1629 when he is on the list of the 30 founding members of the First Church (Congregational) of Salem. He was about 27 years old. He removed to Norwalk, October 20, 1662, and from there to Saybrook, 1664. He was later a founder of Norwich, Connecticut, and an "honored fore-father of Saybrook". He was a mariner and owner and captain of the ships "Black Eagle" and "Hopewell." He "did a coasting trade along Long Island sound from Saybrook, Connecticut as far south as Manhattan Island."[7]
Through his mother, he was a descendant of Lion Gardiner (1599–1663),[8] an early English settler and soldier in the New World, who founded the first English settlement in what became the state of New York. His legacy includes Gardiners Island which remains in the family and is the largest privately owned island in the United States.
Marriage and family[edit]
