Whenever you are making a roast chicken dinner make sure that you keep enough of the cooked chicken meat back for this gorgeous recipe for homemade chicken soup. In fact, you can 'kill two birds with one stone' by making your own stock too and adding it to this very recipe.
So, just how do you make chicken soup?
55 g/2 oz butter
2 onions, peeled and sliced
2 sticks celery, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely diced
25 g/2 oz plain flour
1.2 litres/2 pints of chicken stock
450g/1 lb cooked chicken, skinned and shredded
1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
salt and freshly ground black pepper
How to make chicken soup
To begin with, melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat then gently fry the onions, celery and carrots until they begin to soften.
Now stir in the flour and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to the boil, stirring as you do so, then reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering. Now simmer for another 10 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the cooked, shredded chicken and carry on cooking until it is heated through. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour into warm bowls then stir in the parsley and serve with a couple of oven-warmed, homemade bread rolls filled with a generous spread of butter and grated mature cheese.

Good grief. I'm ashamed. I almost forgot something that should never, ever, be forgotten. The day that just concluded, 6 June, was the anniversary of D-Day.
A great way to reflect on it, if you have time — it's only about 13.5 minutes, and you and I really should take the time — is to listen to this speech, delivered by President Ronald Reagan at Normandy, on the fortieth anniversary of that "longest day," 6 June 1944.
In 1984, 6 June was a difficult day to speak. President Reagan had no teleprompter. The wind whipped his written text. He later said that he had to practice giving the speech many times before he could deliver it without being overcome by emotion. He felt it would be inappropriate, and disrespectful to the aging veterans gathered there before him, if he were to lose control and, thus, draw attention to himself rather than to the men he intended to honor.
And, please, take time to read this prayer, delivered by President Franklin Roosevelt on D-Day in 1944. He was scheduled to give a radio address to the nation, which was already beginning to hear reports about a daring and unprecedentedly massive invasion of the European mainland, the outcome of which was still very much in doubt. But he didn't give a news report or offer a mere update. He rallied Americans to renewed faith:
"My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.
"And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
"Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
"Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.
"They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.
"They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest — until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.
"For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.
"Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.
"And for us at home — fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas — whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them — help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.
"Many people have urged that I call the Nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.
"Give us strength, too — strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and material support of our armed forces.
"And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.
"And, O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee; Faith in our sons; Faith in each other; Faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment, let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.
"With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and, with our sister Nations, into a world unity that will spell a sure peace, a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.
"Thy will be done, Almighty God.
I'm afraid that I can't help but wonder whether an American president could do such a thing today. Would our current president do it? Is that even thinkable? And, if so, isn't it a virtual certainty that the American Civil Liberties Union would be joining with American Atheists and with Americans United for Separation of Church and State to file a massive law suit? What does this say about the direction America has taken since June 1944, sixty-eight years ago?

Follow the moneyApril 03,2014If you follow the debates about Ukraine, you can see three trends: those who use the crisis for humor, those who use it to reinforce preconceived views and those trying to figure out if its telling us something new about todays world.
For humor, I like Seth Meyers line: Despite the fact that the Ukraine has been all over the news for the past few weeks, a survey found that 64 percent of U.S. students still couldnt find Ukraine on a map. Said Vladimir Putin, Soon nobody will.
For self-reinforcement, the op-ed pages are full of the argument that Putins seizure of Crimea signals a return of either traditional 19th-century power politics or the Cold War and anyone who thought globalization had trumped such geopolitics is naïve.
For new thinking, Im intrigued by an argument made by Masha Gessen, a Russian-American journalist, and Nader Mousavizadeh, a geopolitical consultant and Reuters columnist, in different ways: That Putin represents a new hybrid leaders who are using the tools, and profits, from globalization to promote, as Mousavizadeh put it, strategic choices in direct opposition to Western values and interests. Or as Gessen said in The Washington Post: Russia is remaking itself as the leader of the anti-Western world. ... This is exactly how Russians see the events in Ukraine: The West is literally taking over, and only Russian troops can stand between the Slavic countrys unsuspecting citizens and the homosexuals marching in from Brussels.
My own view is that todays global economic and technological interdependence cant, of course, make war obsolete human beings will always surprise you but globalization does impose real restraints that shape geopolitics today more than you think. The Associated Press reported from Moscow last week that recent figures suggest that Russia suffered roughly $70 billion of capital outflow in the first three months of the year, which is more than in all of 2013. Putin didnt miss that.
For reinforcement, Id point to the very original take on this story offered by Michael Mandelbaum, the Johns Hopkins foreign policy expert whose new book, The Road to Global Prosperity, argues that while global economics does not eliminate geopolitics, it does indeed trump global geopolitics today. Its the key to trumping Putin, too.
As Mandelbaum (my co-author on a previous work) explains in his book, it is not either-or. Geopolitics never went away, even as globalization has become more important. For globalization to thrive, it needs a marketplace stabilized by power. Britain provided that in the 19th century. America does so today and will have to continue to do so even if Putin becomes a vegetarian pacifist.
But get a grip, Mandelbaum said in an interview: Putin is not some strange creature from the past. He is as much a product of globalization as Davos Man.
Putin runs a petro state. If it were not for the growth in the global market that globalization created and the energy revenues that it produces for Russia, Putin and the oligarchs who form his power base would be living off exports of vodka and caviar. Putin cant survive without the revenues globalization provides him to buy off his people and former Soviet republics.
And that tells us how to end Putinism, says Mandelbaum, which would be good not only for the world, but also, and especially, for Russia. The tools are primarily economic: denying Russian oligarchs access to the Western financial system and reducing the energy revenues flowing into Putins coffers.
It is a new kind of containment. When containment was primarily military in the Cold War, America bore a disproportionate share of the Western burden. Now that its economic, the Europeans will have to contribute much more, argues Mandelbaum. The Germans will have to be willing to forgo their sales of machine tools and cars to Russia, the French will have to cut back or give up arms sales to the Putin regime, and the British will have to stop the Russian oligarchs from using London as a playground and money-laundering site. Most importantly, the Europeans will have to wean themselves from Russian gas.
As for Americans, well need to pay higher energy taxes to promote conservation, and safely expand natural gas and renewable energy, which together will lower the demand for oil worldwide and reduce the money Putin has to play with. We can deflate this guy tomorrow without firing a shot if were all ready to do something rather than asking the 1 percent in the military to do everything. That is what Putin thinks we dont have the guts to do.
In the age of globalization, when the tools of geopolitics are more economic, everyone needs to sacrifice a little rather than just a few of us giving up a lot to sustain a global order where our values predominate, said Mandelbaum. Crimea is not a test of whether globalization is still enormously powerful in shaping todays world, he added, that is already clear. It is a test of the West and whether we will use this system to shape events our way.

- " Good location, close to underground and bars, friendly staff. The hostel however was very tiny and not very clean. The kitchen and common area were not super either, a little claustrophobic, no windows, very small etc. "
- 03 Apr 2015 Annie Sweden
- " I stayed at the hostel for 4 nights in a 3 bed dorm. The good things about the hostel are especially the location close to underground, busses, supermarket and restaurants. The breakfast included in the prices was a nice bonus. The staff was kind and helpfull. There was no waiting in the girls bathroom and there was always hot water to shower. The downsides about the hostel were all the noise at night. It was very hard to sleep. The rooms in the hostel are VERY tiny and there are no lockers. "
- 19 Jan 2015 Deborah Denmark
- " I won't be so dramatic as to say avoid at all costs... but avoid if at all possible. This hostel is a labyrinth of tiny stairways and windowless doors. Good luck finding your way that first night! And the magic continues, with nasty, half-functional showers and a charge of £2 a day for a locker not even big enough for your pack! Not to mention a bunk too small to sit up in. Good location, I suppose, but go elsewhere. "

- " Location is so nice. But too much small spaces in the room. It was do hard to step for every guests. And.. I think the cleaning time for bathroom is too long. when I woke up late, I couldnt take a shower. Also, bathroom for women was so bad. I need to take a shower with HOT water!!!!! "

A situation...
Picture this :
You have just upgraded from a GeForce 4 MX 64meg card, to an FX5700 LE. You only have a television which works wonders with your old card, and seems to do the job just nicely atm, because your system is formatted. Windows is on, updates are in place and you still have a picture on your telly via your new card.
Now you decide to go and download the latest drivers for your card. They install fine, so you reboot. Something different now happens. You see the splash screen, "Windows XP Professional" but it changes for a split second, from colour to b&w then you loose the signal all together. You can still hear the Windows intro music start up, so now what do you do. ?
This happened to a friend of mine, and the obvious thing is to get hold of a monitor, plug that in for a moment to tell the drivers to use the telly as a main monitor, but what if this is not possibly as in this case ?
I bought his card round to my house, and the moment I installed the drivers, I got a picture. It was ghosting in places, but I put that down to the rig it was in. (its a little old to say the least)
The picture on his telly is perfect, untill he installs the drivers which are basically saying "get a proper display m8" Which for money, room, and princaple reasons, is not going to happen.
So any ideas ?
I thought, maybe I could change a reg key in safe mode ? but unsure what I would have to change if anything.
Re: A situation...
Re: A situation...
Nevermind, we fixed it.
We pluged it into a Sony widescreen TV via s-video and it worked perfectly, so my friend got hold of one of these for £3.99 from a local shop.
All is well,
Thanks anyways.

The looks come from watching the very nice ladies try desparately to lift their little fat legs over the seat, dragging their shoes across the upholstery, and tipping the bike over to the right. It's a good thing I'm as big as I am or else one of them woulda worn the damned thing like a hat.
I'll work on this report this weekend. Work (sucks) has been busy, and the Airhead had a nice little mechanical issue on the way home one night last week.

We left YNP on a nice, partly-cloudy morning. Our destination for the day was somewhere on the Eastern side of Beartooth Pass. We were just playing things by ear at this point.
Sitting in more construction:
The ride through Lamarr Valley was one of the most beautiful that we've ever been on. The plan originally was to be in the valley one of the mornings that we were in YNP, so that we could have a chance to see wolves. There are two or three packs that have been frequenting Lamarr, and there's a den above the valley to the South. The rub was that we'd have had to be up before dawn, in the rain, and ridden the 45 miles through road work to get there. Vacations are supposed to be fun, and that didn't wound like much fun to me at all.
The road gained elevation as we headed into Cooke City, and the clouds started tho thicken up as well.
The rain started to fall on a set of steep switchbacks, so we pulled over and geared up.
The temps were falling quickly, and at one point I thought that we might get some snow, or at least a little hail. There was yet another construction zone at the top of the switchbacks, about 2 miles West of Beartooth Lake. Traffic stopped and a guy in a pickup came down the line with a big grin on his face, telling all of the motorcyclists in the queue that it was going to be about a 30 minute wait, and that the rain was heavy at times. A couple from Quebec was in front of us, riding a Harley. They were in jeans, sweatshirts, and athletic shoes. The spent the delay scrambling to get what rain gear they had on and situated. The woman was not amused at all at what was going on, and she was giving the guy some nasty looks.
There were some close lightning strikes, too, which caused more than one concerned comment from other riders.
The delay wasn't bad at all, and the worst part afterwards was being in a Conga line of slow traffic as we approached the pass. Cars ahead of us pulled away despite the rains, but there was one guy from Kansas in a full-sized American car who was bound and determined not to ever once even come within 10 MPH of the 25 MPH speed limit. I'm also guessing that being from Kansas, he'd never seen a curvy road before, and was having a tough time adapting to his steering wheel going more than 15 degrees to either side of center. He was going to take it nice and slow, by God, and he was having none of the dozens of turnouts conveniently placed by the nice engineers. At one point, I think his brake lights were on for a full 5 minutes.
Okay, I've gotta be honest here: everyone that we met along the way told us that going over Beartooth Pass was an absolute "must-do", and that it was the single greatest motorcycle road in North America. Our expectations were high, and I knew that the traffic would dampen things a bit, but both Holly and I were kind of blase about the road. Sure, the views were incredible in some sections, and on a clear day the twisties might have proven to be more fun, but on this day it was just work to get over the pass. Maybe we'll have to go back and give it another go, just to be sure.
By the time we got to Red Lodge, MT, we'd been on the road for about 4 hours, and it was time to stop, stretch, and eat. Red Lodge is a nice little tourist town that has a main street full of businesses that cater to the traveling hordes, of which we were a part. There were a ton of bikes in town, most of which were Harleys, and as a result, mot of the eateries were packed. We spotted a place called Bogart's, and decided that was the place to go. Bogart's offers up pizza and Mexican, and to this day I do not know what possessed us to order Mexican food so far away from Mexico, but that's what we did. It was beautifully presented, freshly prepared, and simply awful. We in California are spoiled when it comes to food from South of the Border. I'm guessing that the pizza is better, so if you ever find yourself in Red Lodge, MT, and decide to eat at Bogart's, try that.
Our server was a very nice young lady, and we chatted her up about routes out of town to Cody, which was the next major town. She knew al about Cody, but when asked about potential places to stop for the night South of there, she had no idea. She'd never been South of Cody.
We rode out of Red Lodge, headed to........................we didn't really know.

The pic of Holly grinning like crazy in her helmet is priceless,happy girl!
You guys got the short end of the stick on Beartooth,I rode it with no traffic,decent weather only drizzling on top,it was fun and scenic.
Now coming back from the Mile last weekend in dark/windy/foggy/rainy with an endless pack of scared cage drivers on a twisty road with leaves blowing,that was sketchy.
More food and rainy cold weather shots please!
(I always,always, pass any and all cars while they are stopped for roadwork,Ive given up caring about their tender feelings,left/right it doesnt matter,they exist to be passed might as well do it then)

Great report! Nice shots. I enjoy seeing places I've been so many times. Thousands of us no doubt have the very same photos.

Thanks to those who've stuck with this thing. My job beats the hell outta me, which makes sitting in front of a keyboard in the evenings a tough deal. I'm not very creative at that point.
We stopped in Cody, WY for gas and a stretch, and decided that Thermopolis, WY would make a good destination for the night.
See the rain off to the right? We did too. The roads were soaked in spots, and the showers were pounding the bluffs hard enough to throw up dust clouds. It was gorgeous! We timed things luckily enough to get in between cells, and ended up dodging drops for about 60 miles.
For most of the trip, I rode along in front, my wife a couple hundred yards behind, but occasionally she'd get bored and wick up the speed. This was one of those "What the........." moments when she caught me off guard. I tried to check the mirrors periodically to make sure that she was still back there, and when I didn't see the headlight, I kinda panicked. Seeing her on the other side was a surprise.
We got the last room at the Super 8 in Thermopolis, which seems like a neat place to stop for a day or two. There's some good touristy stuff there, but we were just passing through.
The only pic we got was of a bird's nest outside of our window.
Our bikes ran perfectly for the entire trip. We had zero issues, which is nice when so far from home. The morning in Thermopolis seemed to me a good time to give them a washing and lube the chains. Good thing I did, as I found the master link clip missing from Holly's chain. Considering that we'd been running in the 70's and 80's for days, things could have been disastrous, but this thing held together. I have no idea how long it went like that. Being an anal-retentive middle-aged guy, I carry a tool kit with spares that would allow roadside fixes for damned near anything. I safety wired the link, lubed the chains, and we blew outta town.
Our planned destination for the day was Steamboat Springs, CO, via Rawlins, WY and Craig, CO. It looked like a whole lotta empty space for the ride, and that's exactly what it was. The first 25 miles were pretty, weaving through a canyon along the Bighorn River and passing Boysen Reservoir.
The rest of the ride to Rawlins was in some bleak territory. The winds came up about 20 miles South of Riverton, and it was a really tough trip for about an hour. At one point we were getting a right quartering crosswind that was howling along at 25-30 MPH. There was a section of highway that went up and over a bluff, up a steep section, and the winds really played hell once on top. That kind of stuff can wear you out in a big hurry. We were having trouble holding lane position, and any attempt to move to the RH side of the lane was futile. Good fun!!
We stopped at a rest area at Sweetwater Station, WY and snapped a pic of the flags snapping in the breeze.
We hadn't eaten breakfast, so we found a nice grassy area on the lee side of the building for lunch.
The rest of the ride in Wyoming was long, tedious, open country. South of Rawlins is oil field country, and wells were everywhere. The winds died down a bit once we left that town, and that was a big relief.
Obligatory state line crossing shot:
Indeed, Colorado proved to be colorful. This was a great spot for a panorama. I was amazed by the fact that the topography changed immediately once we crossed the state line, going from tans and grays in Wyoming to Greens and blues in Colorado.
Okay, I'll admit right up front that I'm occasionally a dimwitted, sophomoric, never-developed-past-age-15 kinda guy. For proof I give you this, from Craig, CO:
It still makes me snicker.
Truth be told, these stations were always clean, well-stocked, and had some decent lunch food.
Another bit of evidence that I am a dumbass of the highest order; we were headed to Steamboat Springs, a touristy Mecca, in the middle of Summer, on a Friday evening, with no reservations or any idea where we were going to stay the night.
We rode into town at about 6:30 and began the hunt. There was nothing. Nada. Zilch. No big surprise.
Holly waved me over to the side of the road and mentioned that she had seen a sign at the end of town for Steamboat Lake State Park, and that there was a tent symbol that meant that they had camping available. With no other choice, we rode off, and up, towards the park. The country outside of Steamboat is incredibly beautiful, with green, rolling grasses, high mountain peaks, and some of the nicest ranches I've ever seen. It's no wonder that the Hollywood glitterati flock to this place year-round.
The sun was going down, it was getting cold, and we were climbing above 8,000 feet to find that.....................all of the campgrounds were full.
I'd worked up a pretty good lather by this point. It'd been a very long day, fatigue was heavy, and it was time to grab some dinner. We backtracked to Steamboat, and I decided to work back west to Craig to try our luck there. It's 45 miles between the two, and I thought that I'd seen another state park sign along the way. Luckily, I was right.
We ended up setting up at Yampa River SP, which was actually a pretty nice place. Dinner by Mountain House, and off to bed.

Brandy gives surprise performance in South Africa to tiny crowd, leaves early
R&B singer Brandy gave a surprise performance at a festival in South Africa on Saturday, Aug. 17. In fact, her appearance was so surprising that barely anybody stuck around to see it.
Brandy was the surprise finale at the Nelson Mandela Sport and Culture Day at FNB stadium in Johannesburg. According to The Guardian, the singer came on stage to a crowd of no more than 40 people -- in a stadium that holds nearly 90,000.
Although tens of thousands of people filled the arena for football and rugby matches, including a game pitting South African football legends against Italian masters such as Emiliano Salvetti and Marco Ballota, the audience trickled out during the music segment. After performances by David Jenkins, Elvis Blue, Salif Keita and D'Banj, there was almost no one left for Brandy.
The 34-year-old reportedly sang two songs then stormed off stage, "sulking," according to one tweet. To add insult to injury, the country's national TV channel, SABC, even cut off its broadcast of the festival before she got on stage.
Neither Brandy nor the concert promoters have commented on the gig. By most accounts, it wasn't Brandy's fault -- her fans simply didn't know she was playing. Brandy is popular in Africa and has performed there before, much like in the UK, where she is due to return on 24 September. Although the singer's newest record, Two Eleven, reached only No 87 on the UK album charts, 1998's Never Say Never remains an R&B classic: It has sold more than 16 million copies worldwide.

text: hermes mp....waste of money IMO. in fact, if i were you i would stay away from a film leica altogether. you're only going to realise how much money you just blew on an m9 that takes inferior images to even that of a 50 year old m3. sorry don't mean to be rude, but that is my honest opinion. only you can decide whether to go for the leica film cameras, because only you know which type of camera you will work best with. atm, i'm considering selling one of my m's to get a rolleiflex. and i had an f4 which i wish i still had. so don't rush into anything, try the m9 and then upgrade to a film m if the rangefinder's are for you.

Trailer brake control?
Heard loud screeching noise coming from back of trailer while driving and noise goes away upon braking *Looked down at break controller (factory mopar part on Dodge) and noticed it was on 3 (usually we set it at 5) tried bringing it up but it didn't want to change but then it finally did after a few tries. The noise stopped after twe brought it up to 8 but on braking, numbers would fluctuate all over the place and when releasing breaks, it would go back up to 8.
We then were able to dial it back down to 5.5 where we like it and it seems good now.
Of course, it's friday and the one and only "mobile RV" service tech says he doesn't do mobile service.*
On my way to Dodge see if it's brake controller problem.
Never really looked at it while towing, is flucruation normal??
What to do?

I like how you rendered the petals for the most part. My primary concern is the lack of time spent on the leaves (when compared to the petals of course). Given the type of image, typically blurred edges won't be in order, unless executed perfectly. Here you have blurred in a manner that a camera lens would, which is contrary to the painterly approach that one would expect (crisp edges in light, blurred edges in shadow, etc.)
The stigma and stamen of the flower appear to be painted onto the petals. Try to work more on their individual highlights and shadows, as well as cast shadows onto the petals. In fact, try to take better care of the cast shadows from one petal onto the next. Additionally, the piece could also use more texture overall.
Like what you've done. Keep it up and best of luck

Update: New Bose SoundDock for iPod features wireless remote
Christian Hieber of iPodFun.de, a German language iPod website, has learned more about the Bose SoundDock while attending Apple Expo Paris. The SoundDock dock acts as a charging station and features an IR (infrared) port for use with an included wireless remote control for the iPod. Pricing is set at $299 and is expected to ship October 15. Christian had a chance to demo the SoundDock and said, "It looks like a fine, well designed and powerful living room item. The sound is amazing, although there is no subwoofer, it's okay with the bass. But it's pricey. It works with 3G/4G iPods and mini iPods."
While on stage at the Keynote address at Apple Expo Paris, Vice President of WorldWide Marketing, Phil Schiller revealed that Bose has developed a speaker system for iPod named the SoundDock. The photo to the right depicts a large rectangular speaker grill with an integrated dock for the iPod. Details about the new Bose unit have yet to be released.

This is one of the most interesting films in a long time. Morgan goes to several Middle East countries, including Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan to interview the average person on the street mostly to get their views on Osama Bin Laden. We get a glimpse of people in these countries to get their views on Osama including all ages, young and old. Some westerners may be surprised at the views of most people in these countries which is quite different than many people believe There is also a look at the topography and landmarks of some of the countries. If you want to see what people are like in these countries this film is hard to beat. This is a 10 star film.

Morgan Spurlock does a great job bringing the Middle East to light by touring through the area, talking to average people that live there and finding out their opinions on the war and Osama Bin Laden. He goes to great lengths to show what the people there are really like and how they really view westerners.This movie was both fun and enlightening, it's something everyone should go see.

The Winner of the Slow Bicycle Race collects both Krassner's later stories, as well as his most famous satirical pieces from past years. Swiftian in intention and contemporary in subject matter, the book reveals Krassner to have the heart of a muckraker and the spirituality of a seeker after truth. In Krassner's world, Lyndon Johnson chuckles over the dead corpse of J.F.K., a psychiatrist hypnotically regresses a woman who shot her television set, and Nancy Reagan's "Just say no to drugs" becomes "If anybody tries to sell you an ounce of marijuana for $500, that's way too expensive, so just say no." Kneading fantasy into reality, Krassner ferrets out the higher truths that spotlight the absurdity all around.

Down but Not Out
The Supreme Court doesn't quite kill off racial preferences.
Jul 23, 2007, Vol. 12, No. 42 • By ERIN SHELEY
In March 1999, Samantha Comfort of Lynn, Massachusetts, tried to enroll her daughter Elizabeth at the only Lynn public school close enough to her job that she could pick the kindergartner up on time each day. The school refused to take Elizabeth--not because it didn't have space for another child, but because it didn't have space for another white child. Enraged, Comfort and a group of other parents brought a constitutional equal protection claim against the Lynn School Committee, which prohibits "segregative" transfers of students between schools (i.e., transfers that would bring the percentage of "nonwhite" students in each school outside the targeted range of 43 percent to 73 percent). In 2005, a federal appeals court rejected their claim and upheld the school district's racial plan. Two weeks ago, the parents went to court again, filing what could be the first of many challenges to similar court rulings in light of the Supreme Court's recent rejection of race-based student assignment plans in Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 et al.
Because the Seattle and Louisville school districts considered by the Court also used rigid percentage systems, it's a safe bet that Parents Involved will indeed bring an end to overtly race-based policies like those in Lynn. Yet the case cannot be read as mandating the absolute race neutrality sought by Fourteenth Amendment literalists (much less has it, as the NAACP homepage wails mixed-metaphorically, "condemned minority children to a back seat in the race for life's chances"). The extent to which school districts may racially classify their students going forward depends, first, on the manipulation of loopholes left open by the Court's opinion and, second, on the deciding vote of Justice Kennedy, who stated separately that he believes it "cannot be a universal constitutional principle" that "our Constitution is color-blind."
Any use of racial classification by a governmental body is subject to "strict scrutiny" by courts under the Fourteenth Amendment--it must be "narrowly tailored" to serve a "compelling state interest." Chief Justice John Roberts was joined by Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito in holding that the goal of racial balancing in and of itself, even under the warm, fuzzy name of "diversity," can never constitute such a compelling state interest. Yet, critically, Roberts's opinion defined "racial balancing" against the backdrop of the Court's 2003 decision in Grutter v. Bollinger, which upheld the University of Michigan Law School's use of race as a factor in admissions. Grutter, written by now-retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, turned on the fact that the law school--rather than employing specific racial quotas--evaluated each applicant with an eye to "producing classes both diverse and academically outstanding," taking into account the school's commitment to racial diversity as one of a number of factors affecting each admissions decision.
While the Court noted that the compelling state interest at issue in Grutter was student body diversity specifically in the context of higher education, Roberts's opinion does not foreclose the possibility that a University of Michigan-style balancing test could be acceptable at an elementary or secondary school level. He noted, "The point of the narrow tailoring analysis in which the Grutter Court engaged was to ensure that the use of racial classifications was indeed part of a broader assessment of diversity." In contrast, in the Seattle and Louisville plans, race was, for certain students, "determinative standing alone." It is therefore an open question whether a school district could make use of nondeterminative racial classifications without running afoul of Parents Involved.
Furthermore, Justice Kennedy, whose concurring vote was critical to the 5-4 majority, made it clear that he disagreed with Roberts that targeted racial composition could never be a sufficiently compelling state interest to pass Fourteenth Amendment muster. Specifically, he endorsed "a more nuanced, individual evaluation of school needs and student characteristics that might include race as a component," in a manner "informed by Grutter."
What does this mean? School districts wishing to avoid running afoul of Parents Involved have a wide range of options. The first--and worst--is simply to accept the invitation of Justice Kennedy to promulgate a formal, individuated policy for making student transfer decisions and, behind that smokescreen, to proceed on racial grounds exactly as before.

Really enjoyed our stay here as a couple, our first visit to Mexico City. The hotel were really polite, friendly and helpful. Our double bed en-suite bathroom was very spacious and very comfortable and very clean! We were so pleased after a long flight from the UK. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone single or in a couple. There is a lovely walled courtyard garden with flowers and the breakfast was amazing and really good value for money. We appreciated the safe box in the room too.

Very bad internet connetion. We have requested a quiet room away from the road, it didn't happen. The waiter in the restautant would like to pick up my plate before I was done with breakfast. Other then the above it's a nice place close to the nice neighbours Condensa and Roma.

Pentagon contracts plunged 67 percent last month, a sign the military is reining in spending before automatic budget cuts set to begin in March.
The awards tumbled to $12.1 billion in January from $36.3 billion announced in December, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. These reductions follow a drop in fourth-quarter defense spending that contributed to the first reported decline in the nation's economy since 2009.
The slowdown coincides with the military winding down two wars and preparing to absorb $487 billion in reductions over a decade. Washington's deadlock over the automatic cuts, which would further slice the budget, has forced defense officials to postpone routine spending, said Dan Jacobs, chief executive officer of the Federal Market Group, a Warrenton, Virginia-based consulting firm.
"Everybody is in limbo," Jacobs said in a phone interview. "They're holding off until there's some decision made by Congress and the administration."
U.S. lawmakers and the administration of President Barack Obama face a March 1 deadline to avoid the start of about $1.2 trillion in decade-long automatic budget cuts known as sequestration, with half coming from national-security programs. The reductions would reduce defense spending by $45 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, according to Pentagon officials.
Budget Deadline
The January decline followed a surge of contracting in the last days of 2012. Defense Department awards in December rose 73 percent from November, a boost that may have stemmed from the year-end deadline to avoid the effects of sequestration, said Brian Friel, an analyst at Bloomberg Government. In a last- minute deal between the White House and Congress, the reductions were delayed for two months.
Awards announced in January were also 44 percent less than the $21.6 billion in contracts issued in the year-earlier period, and 42 percent below November's $21 billion total, according to the data.
A group of seven closely held companies, including Bethesda, Maryland-based Digital Management Inc., won the biggest contract last month, a $1.42 billion award to help manage a communications network called the Global Information Grid.
Nine closely held firms, including Huntsville, Alabama- based Analytical Services Inc., received the second-largest contract, a $997 million deal to provide engineering services to the Army's Space and Missile Defense Command.
Lockheed Missiles
Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT:US), the world's biggest defense company, landed the third-largest contract, a $755 million award for Patriot Advanced Capability-3 missiles.
By comparison, Lockheed in late December won a contract for 31 F-35 fighter jets valued as high as $3.68 billion, the biggest Pentagon deal that month.
The government's stopgap funding measure "could cause funds to run short in some accounts and adversely impact programs that are otherwise executing efficiently," said Jennifer Allen, a spokeswoman for Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed.
The risk of automatic cuts is also an area of budget uncertainty, Allen said in an e-mail.
The slump in contracts last month followed a 22 percent decline in the annualized rate of defense spending in the fourth quarter that was the biggest drop since 1972, according to Commerce Department statistics.
Defense Outlays
That figure overstates the actual decline in part because of a third-quarter jump in defense outlays, according to Robert Levinson, an analyst at Bloomberg Government.
Defense spending in the fourth quarter declined just 3.4 percent from the same period in 2011, U.S. Treasury Department figures show.
The Pentagon wants to reduce commitments to better prepare for the possibility of automatic cuts, which would require making steep reductions to the annual budget over just six months, according to Larry Allen, president of Allen Federal Business Partners, a consulting firm in McLean, Virginia.
"Slowing spending on anything other than what is absolutely essential saves on contract cancellation costs," he said in an e-mail.
The Defense Department has approved cost-cutting measures such as canceling scheduled maintenance for ships and planes, and added an extra layer of review for large contracts. Frank Kendall, the Pentagon's top weapons buyer, in a Jan. 15 memo said he will personally clear all awards of more than $500 million.
Job Cuts
The step is being taken in part "to mitigate the impacts" of sequestration, as well as a stopgap budget measure that funds the government through March 27, Kendall wrote.
The department will be forced by mid-February to start dismissing some or all of its 46,000 temporary workers, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has said. It's also likely to begin notifying its 800,000 civilian employees that they face mandatory unpaid leave one day a week starting in April unless sequestration is averted, he said.
The plans are probably weighing on the workforce, and may have contributed to the reduction in announced awards last month, according to Allen.
"With so much talk about possible furloughs, you have to figure that morale" at the Pentagon is low, especially among civilian workers, he said. "People worried about their jobs tend not to do their jobs."
