Ripping off 250 million bucks is almost never an easy task, but stealing it from an airborne jetliner is seemingly impossible. Evidently no one ever told that to the band of crooks in Rapid Exchange. With the tension high and the odds stacked against them, the just might pull it off. Aviva Gale and Matt O'Toole also star. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

The McCain-Palin campaign on Friday released its latest radio ad, titled "Cuts," which warns that if Barack Obama is elected president, nothing will stop congressional Democrats from cutting defense spending, which will mean many lost jobs in Virginia.
The ad, released only in Virginia, features Sen. John Warner, R-Va., the former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, zeroing in on the proposal by Barack Obama's Congressional allies to cut defense spending by 25 percent.
Virginia Business magazine has reported that the Old Dominion has the second-largest number of Department of Defense employees and military personnel in the country. The Department of Defense employs 245,000 civilians, active-duty personnel, reserves and National Guard in Virginia. Only California boasts more.
Rep. Barney Frank, the Democrat from Massachusetts and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, is so confident of an Obama victory on Nov. 4 that he is already busily setting the legislative table for drastic cuts in defense spending.
A recent Standard-Times report quotes Frank: "I was teasing [U.S. Rep.] Jack Murtha [a key supporter of military budgets] and I said to him, 'For the first time, somebody else has got a bill that's almost as big as yours.' We don't need all these fancy new weapons. I think there needs to be additional review.'"
A script of the ad that will air in Virginia starts with the voice of Warner.
Sen. John Warner: Hello, this is Senator John Warner. Hampton Roads is home to the world's largest military facilities. Barack Obama's liberal colleagues in Congress announced they will cut defense spending by 25 percent.
Fellow Virginians, cuts in the defense budget will weaken Virginia's economy and weaken national defense. John McCain is a true fighter. He'll champion Tidewater's leading role in our nation's defense.
Announcer: Newspapers document Congressional liberals have announced a plan to cut defense spending by 25 percent after the election. It would mean huge job losses right here in Tidewater. Independent studies prove it will mean fewer jobs. Fewer benefits for more communities in the middle of a recession. That's the Congressional liberals' plan if you give them your vote.
Up for grabs are Virginia's 13 electoral votes. President Bush prevailed in Virginia in both the 2000 and 2004 races.
Obama held a rally in Virginia Beach on Thursday, and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin made three visits to Virginia on Monday. McCain will hold a final Virginia rally in Springfield on Saturday.
The latest Virginia poll Released by Rasmussen Reports shows Barack Obama at 51 percent, John McCain 47 percent.

Truth and Propaganda in Politically Correct America
Recorded: Tuesday, August 14, 2001
Although comedian George Carlin's infamous routine, "Seven Words You Can't Say on TV," has become outdated, today many ideas are considered too 'politically incorrect' to discuss in polite society. According to popular Los Angeles talk-radio host Larry Elder, many sacred cows- about racism and sexism, health care, welfare, education, the family, drug laws, the media, crime, gun control, and more- are soft-headed distortions that have worsened America's social problems. If "the truth shall make you free," then, says Elder, these myths need a serious reality check- before we forget what truth and freedom look like. Larry Elder discussed what's really wrong with America and how a free people, rather than an intrusive government, can fix it.

Tiananmen Square: 10 Years Later
Recorded: Wednesday, June 16, 1999
In 1989, during a large peaceful student demonstration in Beijings Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government deployed its military to massacre hundreds of unarmed students and other civilians in order to stop a growing movement for democratization and individual freedom. Since then, tens of thousands who have spoken out have been imprisoned, tortured and killed, and the government has refused to even admit that such atrocities have occurred. This special Independent Policy Forum will feature three outstanding experts, including two of the leaders of the original Chinese student movement. They will discuss the events then and since, the current movement in china for freedom, and the implications of current Chinese government policies for Americans.

My baby boy and are I dying of boredom! We need help!
I'm a first time, SAHM to a beautiful 5 month old boy. I used to work from home so I'm used to being a home body... but now that baby is here, I found it's impossible to keep working. He whines, cries, and fusses ALL DAY LONG. If we go out on an errand, he is calm and happy, but if we are at home (like right now), I am doomed to listen to him fuss and cry and there is absolutely nothing I can do to comfort or distract him.
Every day is the same for me now. Wake up in the morning and pray he'll sleep a little longer. Scramble to eat breakfast before he wakes up. Laundry, dishes, cleaning, and remember to brush my teeth because I realize it's been 3 days since the last time I did. Beg and plead with him to take even just a 30 minute nap so I can stop panicking. Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't, but he still wakes up crying.
I'm not a single parent. My husband works a regular day shift and is home every evening. I also have a 9 year old stepson who is here half the time. I do occasionally get small amounts of time to myself in the evening, but that usually gets spent cleaning the cat litter box, cooking dinner, taking a shower, or some other chore. There is nothing wrong with my baby medically. He is healthy and strong. We cosleep, EBF, babywear, and he is an absolutely charmer every time we step out of the front door. But there aren't enough "errands" to keep us busy outside the house all day every day, and it's still very cold so "going for a walk" is not an option, at least not for the next several weeks. And I feel like I won't make it that long without coming completely unglued. I feel unglued already.
What can I do? Each new day that looks like the last makes me want to tear out my hair even more. I'm starting to resent my son. I love him so much but he is such a source of stress for me. I really don't know what else to do right now.
Hugs to you mama!!!
Married to a wonderful woman since 2010. Baby boy C arrived in June 2013!
Check out our User Agreement.
I am a SAHM to my first, as well. He is 8.5 months. We go to "mommy and me" once a week, which really breaks up the week. He loves it! It is a little pricey, but I have finally convinced myself that it's worth it. It then motivates me to get out even more.
Babies can sense when you are bored. So that is probably adding fuel to the fire. If you are bored, they can read it on your face, because they are very good at reading facial expressions!!! (ever seen how good they are at mimicing them?) Have you ever hung out with someone who is bored? It's boring! :) So my advice, above all, is to find things that YOU enjoy. Don't go to a baby class that bores YOU. Don't listen to baby CD's that bore YOU. Don't play with baby toys that bore YOU. Find ones you like to play with.
Babies get stir crazy, just like adults. They need to get out. I would say, get out as much as you can. I like taking DS to the grocery store, one that has fun things like a coffee shop inside. Some Targets have this too. Our cart cover has opened up a whole new world to me! So work on those "sitting up" skills, to make that happen. :) Ours is just a cheap Infantino brand one. I thought he would squirm, but he LOVED being in the cart. There were so many people to look at, and the produce section...the aisles....he was in heaven. It may be another month before you can really embrace that phase, but get ready for it! :)
Aside from that, join a Mommy and Me class. :) Forget meetup....it's too incosistent, my opinion.
Things will get better soon. This phase is a lot easier, once they move more.
The other thing, once spring comes, put them in an outward facing carrier like the Beco to touch plants and such in the yard or sidewalk. Take them outside on a blanket. Don't watch the clock for naps.......it's hard, but just embrace it. Lay on the floor and let them crawl all over you.....just sit back and observe them as they tinker. It gets a lot better.....
When my LO was that old meetup.com saved my life ha! I found a group of mamas with similar parenting style and went on playdates, hikes, story time at the library ect. My daughter tended to be happier when we were out and lets be honest I was happier when I had some adult interaction. Having a supportive mama network makes being a SAHM so much nicer. I have since moved out of state and I haven't found the same level of connection, and it totally bums me out.
My DD is older but we sign up for free programs at the library. Actually they have cool things for the under-12-months crowd that I hope I can take with the new baby like "musical babies" and "storytime social" (part storytime, part playtime and socializing with other parents). Another thing we did previously (that frankly was more fun with a baby than with a toddler) is swimming class. DD was your son's age when it was summertime so I used to wear her in the sling and go to the library, pick up a book or magazine, and walk home. She'd often fall asleep on the way home and I'd either try taking her out so I could nap too or just sit with her still in the sling in the glider and read my book. Many libraries have comfy chairs you can read in so you could drive there, walk him around till he snoozes, and plop yourself in a chair with some reading material. For that matter you could do this in a bookstore or at a mall too.
Thanks for all the suggestions and support, mamas!
I am definitely working to connect with other parents of littles in my area. I know it'll help me a lot to spend some time with other adults, and my son needs to spend more time around other small people too. :) We haven't had much luck finding an organized group or class but I know it'll get easier as the weather gets warmer!
I'm really looking forward to taking him on walks, to the pool, the park, etc just as soon as we can go outside without getting frozen toes. :) As for finding more ways to entertain him at home, I'm still pretty stumped. I've tried most of the things you all have suggested and my poor little guy just doesn't bite. He is often tired/overtired from not sleeping enough at night or not napping enough, so I'm working on little ways to help him relax and get more rest, so he can be bright and cheery in his awake time... but I think he is still recovering from that 4 month sleep regression a bit, so I don't really expect the sleep thing to improve drastically for another couple of months. (We have the No Cry sleep books and the Happiest Baby sleep guide, etc.)
Again, thank you so much! Sometimes it just helps a lot to be reminded that we are not the only ones dealing with this cabin fever boredom!!
Ladies - this is a great thread. I will have a 5 month old at this time next year (1st time mom, 40yo). I myself am going bonkers with the unrelenting winter so I can only imagine that compounded by trying to entertain a LO. The info about having a routine, and all the mommy & me stuff is a huge relief to find. I was really worried about cabin fever with a newborn. THANK YOU.
If your baby likes going out, go out! I live in northern Ontario so I know all about it being cold.
Things to do with your 5-month-old indoors:
--go to a coffee shop and order a latte and some cake. Sit and read as long as your baby feels like hanging out and making faces at people
--sign up for baby classes. Music with your baby, salsa babies, yoga with your baby, all sorts of crap for babies happens during the day
--go to libraries and museums. Chill out.
--local symphonies often have family or kid matinees! Babies love classical music!
You don't actually need friends with little kids the same age. I tried to make mom friends when I had a baby, but I didn't like anyone. I wanted my old, childless friends. So invite them along. Do you have any friends who are artists and have nothing to do all day? My musician friends were key in this stage. I would go to restaurants with them and have long lunches, ordering a good two glasses of wine. We would gossip and my son would nurse, chill out, fuss, be walked up and down the restaurant, etc. Restaurants are often pretty empty at, say 2 pm, and don't really care if you bring your kid and stay for hours.
I miss the baby stage, actually. While your son is still nursing, he's so damn portable, so go port him around! Obviously he is a social creature who does not like being at home.
I will also admit that I visited my workplace at least a few times a week while I was on mat leave, brought my baby, and watched everyone work. This may not be feasible for all workplaces.
If you have a Y near you, they often provide a few hours of childcare a day while you can focus on yourself. Also it's a good place to meet moms, read a book, work out... we make going there a part of our daily routine, it keeps me sane. When babes is a bit older you can also probably swim with them there too, that's kind of fun.
All of these are good ideas!
I'm also going a bit crazy staying home with my 6 month old. I can't wait for it to be warmer outside (also in Canada, ).
I know someone who is training to become a post-pardom dula. Helping moms with this sort of thing! She has offered to come over to play with/care for baby so that I can get things done. I may take her up on that someday. Anyway, perhaps there is something like that near you that you can get connected with?

11 Bruins.... Thornton... healthy scratch for 7 playoff games.
10 Blackhawks.... have no enforcer according to your Eager is not an enforcer statements.
09 Penguins... Godard 71/82 RS games... 0 playoff games.
08 RedWings... Downey 56 RS games.... 0 playoff games..
07 Ducks... Shane Obrien 62 RS games... 0 playoff games... George Parros... 0 playoff games.
06 Canes.... no enforcer... even traded Jesse Boulerice away during the season.
You are dodging a lot of my points and it shows.
I already told you that you don't need of an enforcer once you are in the playoffs simply because the other teams stopped carrying an enforcer.
Playoff games are not the same. The Bruins could've goon up against the Habs, the Flyers, the Lightnings and the Canucks like they normally do during the regular season but almost nothing happened. Those are the playoffs, not the regular season.

There quite simply is no good reason why a pure goon who is a liability n the ice is needed.
A goon is, first, a player that enforces, whatever are his hockey skills. A goon is an enforcer. The days where all the teams carried a player that didn't follow the game are over. Colton Orr, Eric Godard, Donald Brashear, DJ King, Raitis Ivanans or Pierre-Luc Létourneau-Leblond are all playing in the minors now (even Brashear is playing in the LNAH). Kevin Westgarth, Paul Bissonnette, Steve MacIntyre all are scratches now. But there are plenty of goons that can follow the game, take a 5-7 minutes a game shift and not hurt their teams.
Chris Neil easily is a 3rd liner and a good player around the net on the PP.
Mike Rupp easily is a good 4th liner that doesn't bring much offense but that follows the game.
George Parros takes 7 minutes without hurting his team.
Shawn Thornton takes a good 9 minutes per game and is an okay 4th liner.
Krys Barch takes a 4th line shift without hurting his team.
Jared Boll isn't good with the puck but he is a good player on Blue Jackets' penalty killing unit.
Jim Vandermeer is a proven good shutdown/stay at home defenseman.
Same for Matt Carkner.
Deryk Engelland takes a regular shift (12-15 minutes) with the Penguins as their 6th defenseman.
Milan Lucic is one of the best powerforwards in the game.
Cody McCormick is a 4th line centerman that puts up 20pts a year.
Ryane Clowe is one of the best powerforwards in the league also.
John Erskine became over the years a regular 6th or 7th defenseman.
I mean who would you take first? Michael Blunden or Jared Boll? Mathieu Darche or Shawn Thornton?
We in Montreal put 4th liners on the ice that are not going to represent a normal checking line. Is Jared Boll a worst hockey player than Petteri Nokelainen? Is George Parros a worst hockey player than Mathieu Darche? Last year, we signed Alexandre Picard to a contract to be our 7th defenseman, but seriously, would Jim Vandermeer, Deryk Engelland or Matt Carkner have been worst than Picard? Not sure.
After those enforcers, you have another bunch of scrappers that can play the game and that solidify your team's team toughness. Arron Asham, Brandon Prust, Travis Moen, Jamal Mayers, Dan Carcillo, Gregory Campbell, Adam McQuaid, Johnny Boychuk, Zac Rinaldo, Derek Dorsett, Paul Gaustad, Zenon Konopka, etc... after signing one of the enforces above in the post, you sign a couple of the names amongst Ashams and Prusts, and here you have your team toughness.

A showcase of Muslim fashion was one of the highlights at the recent Eid'l Fitr Festival at The Block in SM City North Edsa.
The Festival of the Breaking of the Fast is a worldwide celebration that marks the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan. It is an important event that usually falls on the first day of Shawwal, the 10th month of the Islamic calendar. More than that, it is a time of joy, forgiving and thanksgiving among Muslims as they take the occasion to strengthen ties with family and friends, give gifts and alms, and feast together.
Sultanate fashion
The show, "Habi at Hiyas ng mga Dayang Dayang at Bai," gave mallgoers a rare glimpse of the formal and traditional attire of Muslim nobility. Members of the Sultanates of Sulu-Maguindanao, and Lanao, represented by Bai Aminah Razziah Tamano Lucman, Datu Reza Sinsuat and Dayang Dayang Hadji Rosalyn Rose Bahjin-Swadjaan, wore their resplendent robes designed with intricate embroideries and weaves symbolic to each house.
The fashion show, which featured clothes designed by Amir Sali, Cora Manimbo and Len Cabili, paired with exquisite filigree jewelry by Oskar Atendido, closed the three-day celebration.
Amir Sali Aluk, popularly known as Amir Sali, the Prince of Beads, is the only Filipino in the Middle East Interior Designer's Association and is a favorite designer and couturier of Middle East princesses.
He worked for 17 years in Egypt and Saudi Arabia where royal family members were his prime clients.
Len Cabili is the founder and creative designer of Filip+Inna. As a child growing up in Iligan City, Mindanao, she would remember visits to her home by Maranaos in all their finery. The impression they made on her is the heart of Filip+Inna, which is inspired by the traditional with the contemporary to create timeless and unique pieces.
Filip+Inna brings into each garment ancient techniques of weaving, embroidery and beadwork from different indigenous groups of the Philippines. Its mission is to create while also reviving endangered ancient traditions.
Cora Manimbo started designing Filipiniana dresses only in 1997, yet she has built a prestigious image with clients from as far as Europe, the Middle East and the US. She has made clothes for Muslim nobility in Mindanao and other Asian countries, as well as gowns for Saudi Arabian princesses.
The three-day event also had an exhibit of Muslim attire by Pitoy Moreno and Patis Tesoro.
Spearheaded by the Magbassa Kita Foundation and SM City North Edsa, together with the Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy, the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, and the National Commission of Muslim Filipinos, the affair was a springboard to build better understanding and appreciation among Filipinos of ethnic, racial and religious diversity in the country.

There are many ways to help others this holiday season. For instance, while out buying gifts for friends and family, shoppers can toss a few items in the cart for the many charitable organizations in the Ozarks that assist people in need. Organizations collecting donations include the Kitchen, Crosslines, Ozarks Food Harvest, Toys for Tots, Harmony House and many others.
Almost anything you might buy for your own home and family can be helpful to others somewhere, whether it be toys, cleaning products, sports equipment, winter clothes, hygiene items, bedding and more.
However, for individuals, families or businesses seeking to give, there are more ways to help than shopping.
Salvation Army spokeswoman Audrey Esther said that while they accept a variety of donations, their primary need is time or money.
Monetary donations are always welcome because we are always effective at making sure it is used wisely, Esther said.
Those who have limited cash this time of year can still help by volunteering their time.
A primary way to do that is take part in the 121-year-old tradition as a bell ringer.
We will need hundreds of volunteers, Esther said. Bell ringing is a simple volunteer activity, and its perfect for individuals, organizations and businesses. Its a simple way to help others.
There is also a Cans Film Festival on Saturday at Wehrenberg Campbell 16 Cine in which volunteers will be needed at the Salvation Army to sort and package donated food. Volunteers are needed for the Shopping Buddy program to help families pick out toys for their children as part of the Salvation Armys Christmas Toy Shop, Dec. 20 and 21. The Salvation Army also seeks donations of toys or cash for that event.
Boys & Girls Town of Springfield is another nonprofit looking for holiday donations. According to spokeswoman Andrea Masterson, the organization provides for about 250 children in a crisis shelter, in foster units and in families that are part of the Better Beginnings program.
People can donate in general (see our list of suggested items), or adopt a specific child and fulfill his or her wish list.
She said the donor also has the option of simply giving money and allowing the Boys and Girls Town staff do the shopping.
We recommend about $100 (per child), Masterson said of that program. You get a list of items and clothing sizes. The childs first name appears on the list.

Elton John fills, thrills Germain with solid three-hour show
ESTERO - Did you attend the concert? Send us your photos at naplesnews.com/participate.
Elton John did not play a concert at Germain Arena Tuesday. He immersed the sold-out house in a three-hour, piano-propelled, light-splashed hit intensive.
Even by the standards of its title, "The Definitive Hits," this was mammoth. Its energy and music overwhelmed even the most puckered; by 10:45 dignified men in Topsiders and golf shirts were hopping in circles, shouting "The bitch is back!" along with the band.
Intermission? Those are for wusses. Elton charged straight through, resting his voice only for a few musical interludes in riffed pieces like "Madman Across the Water." The audience didn't have time to think of a request before it came rolling out of his piano, beefed up by a squad of fems, double percussion, synthesizer and two guitars-plus-vocal backups.
For the easily jaded, Elton threw in head fakes, sassing up "Levon" with gospel chords and dropping "Fur Elise" into "Madman." For the devoted fan, there were solid jump-up hits: his overdrive opener "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" and "Honky Cat." Even this reviewer lost control and joined the arm-flailing, swaying crowd on its feet when John dove headlong into "Philadelphia Freedom," his 1976 tribute to the U.S. Bicentennial.
For the romantics, there were "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues," "Sad Songs," "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word," "Daniel" and "Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road." "Candle in the Wind" turned the arena into a starry sky of waving cellphone lights. Still not enough? John tucked in two melodies from his disc with Leon Russell, including "Hey, Ahab" and a poignant Civil War ballad, "Gone to Shiloh." Possibly because of the recent events in Afghanistan, this crowd let it settle over them as a several-minute pause for reflection.
Elton & Co. divined his market well: most of us were benched rockers who were happy to bypass his Disney years in favor of "Benny and the Jets," "Rocket Man" and "Holiday Inn." The packed house mixed biz-casual retirees who had tailgated in the parking lots, younger European visitors in tanks and tight pants and just a few parents with schoolkids baptized in mom's and dad's music.
But they all look alike when they're singing and waving their arms in the air. So infectious was "Crocodile Rock" that when Elton hit the falsetto "laaaah, lala lala laaa" chorus, he simply stopped and the crowd squealed on, furnishing several rounds of backup.
Not that this band needed any help. If there was any complaint, it was that his considerably talented female vocalists were underused. They included two of the famous Stone family, Rose and Lisa, as well as Jean Witherspoon and a longtime L.A. favorite, Tata Vega.
Nigel Olsson, who has been intermittently drumming behind John since he was performing as Reg Dwight with Argosy, was in perfect form. And while some may miss the flamboyant Ray Cooper, Olsson and fellow percussionist John Mahon fit the show like gloves. Synthesizer artist Kim Bullard filled dramatic numbers like "Funeral for a Friend" and Bob Birch carpeted it all with some innovative bass turns. But people were probably more attuned to what Davey Johnstone would be playing next as he took on mandolin, double neck guitar and banjo hooks.
The electronic celli of Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser were the minor stars of the evening. The two played with John's band. But they came out first to warm up the crowd with only their two instruments, setting off stringed fireworks on Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" (see their YouTube version online) and U2's "With or Without You." Mahon joined them to growl and roar through "Highway to Hell," a showy cover under which Elton and the rest of the band crept in for their opener.
While he may be fudging on his vocal range, rejiggering high notes like "sailing" in "Levon," Elton was in clear, strong voice from start to finish. He hopped atop the piano once — the showoff — and at close to 11 p.m. he was still playing bawdyhouse keyboard and grinning at his bandmates. Somewhere in England there is a piano teacher paying dearly for telling little Reginald his fingers were too stubby for him to become a good pianist.
In his few asides to the audience, John talked about his love for baseball. He even gave a shout out to his favorite National and American league teams, the Atlanta Braves (cheers from one corner) and the Minnesota Twins (boos from another corner). The Twins train in Fort Myers.
Three hours weren't quite enough to do justice to all the hits he's produced. Kiki Dee fans may have missed "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and some of us would have added "Elderberry Wine."
Still, everyone was waiting for the zenith hit that brought Elton to these shores in 1970. And after shooing the band off and circling the stage to sign autographs, he thanked the audience: "You have given me so much love and support, I dedicate this one to you, and I wish you all love and peace and health."
And he closed with "Your Song."
Can we do this all over again tonight?
