Helper City has received an $11,000 payment from the former director of its Western Mining and Railroad Museum and a contractor as part of an out-of-court settlement on financial issues raised in a state audit almost four years ago.
SueAnn Martell resigned the museum directorship in December 2008 during the audit requested by Mayor Mike Dalpiaz. Since that time, the city has been seeking restitution for what it claims were improprieties involving payments to Darrin Teply, a contractor retained to provide various services to the museum.
The payment closes out a long-standing issue between the parties, said Councilman Kirk Mascaro.

Justin Upton will clearly cost a SS
According to this post on MLB Trade Rumors, the Rangers were willing to trade top 3B prospect Mike Olt to get Braves SS Andrelton Simmons, who Texas then planned to trade for D-Backs OF Justin Upton.
Multiple reports this off-season suggest Arizona is seeking a young shortstop, plus pitching, in a deal for Upton.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Last summer, I was told Upton would cost the Mets at least Jon Niese. I see reports linking Tampa to Arizona with names like James Shields and infield prospect Hak-Ju Lee. The Rangers seem unwilling to deal Elvis Andrus or Jurickson Profar, as they should be. If this is the case, if this the range, I'm not sure what the Mets would need to do to compete with these packages, assuming they're even interested Frankly, at least so far, I have not hear any rumblings that the Mets and D-Backs have talked about Upton, though I do think the two sides have talked outfielders in some capacity. Ruben Tejada and Niese would be way too much. The Mets do have Wilmer Flores, but most experts know his future is not at shortstop, even though he's played there most of his young career. Plus, he's not ready, and it seems Arizona is looking for immediate help and more of a sure thing. Right now, I don't see a match, do you?

I'm a total newbie--OK, I did spin on a spindle many years ago, and I've forgotten everything I learned then--and I'm wondering if it's possible to learn how to spindle spin on one's own, without a teacher. (I'm looking for a teacher but haven't found one yet.) I've heard that there are many Youtube videos on how to spindle spin. Does anyone have any recommendations on what videos to watch or what methods to use? Or are there some DVDs to buy that a beginner can't live without?
FWIW, I'm left-handed. I remember that, when I used to try to spin in the past, I spun "backward." Is this a problem in my learning to spin?
Thanks for your help!
Absolutely you can learn to spin without a teacher. I had a bit of help with a bicycle looking wheel and am now learning to spin by hand with a book. I've also had two DVD's to watch on spindles and you can do it. For me the best thing was hearing others say, "That's all right, I did that too, just unwind and get your fibers apart . . .:" , and off I'd go again and then they'd say, just fluff up the ends and start again and I went on from there. I wouldn't start with quivet as a first time fleece. It has to be de-haired and combed to work well and be soft and with a long staple (How long the fiber is between your hands as you test pulling it apart.) it takes less twist. All of this is in books and DVD's and available to you. I'm sure there are tutorials in "Spin-Off" and else where on this website too. Just keep on. If you haven't spun before you'll feel like all thumbs and it may help to watch someone else at a wheel or spindle. They make it seem easy, but it is all muscle memory and practice. Just keep going.
I forgot to mention that the I like Respect the Spindle and anything by Maggie Casey for DVD's.
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence! I've ordered a Spindolyn, and I'm waiting for that to come in. Keep your fingers crossed that I can figure out how to use it! (It does come with instructions and with an online video.)
I learned without a teacher. Since back then the internet was much more limited, I had to make do with a spindle I bought from a catalog and the writen instructions that came with it. No YouTube video's then!
I realize that this is a little late in the posting, but yes, you can learn without a teacher. Granted, learning from a teacher is ALWAYS the best, having someone there to guide you and answer questions would make it easier and probably more fun, but.....
I had no one to guide me at all, so after giving it some thought I learned as much as I could watching as many videos on youtube as I could find, there is a wealth of information there. I also bought a DVD from Abby Franquemont, that was a worthy purchase, and then I went to work.
The one big thing to remember is there is a learning curve, DO NOT be discouraged, the fleece will separate on you, the wheel will backspin if your timing is off and other little things. Ignore these other than learning what went wrong.
The very best advise I can give is this, practice just sitting at the wheel and getting it to spin with an easy motion. I sat in front of the tv and just let my foot do it's thing, I still do at times.
If you have any questions, ask.
The ONLY difference between an accomplished spinner and a new one who feels they don't have "the touch for it", is practice and not quitting.
Remember too that YouTube is your friend. Enter the subject you want (in this case Spindolyn or spindle spinning and find LOTS of people who will be glad to show you how.
I bought The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook thinking it was a tutorial on knitting socks. They are tricky; they start with dyeing, then spinning, then knitting. So, I ordered a spindle and some roving from eBay and taught myself to spin. At the time I did not have access to You Tube, so I just kept trying until I made semi-decent yarn. After a year or so of spindle spinning I bought a wheel, and I've never looked back.
Now I've been fortunate to find a teacher, or, rather, several teachers. That's been an enormous help. And I'm on a knitting, crocheting, and spinning list, "Knitters' Paradise," where I've asked questions about spindle spinning. My yarn looks much better than it used to, that's for sure! And my Spindolyns have been unsurpassed in helping me to become a better spinner.
I've wondered about a wheel. I think I'd like to have a charkha, to spin cotton on, but I don't know if I want a spinning wheel per se. How did you decide that you wanted a spinning wheel? How did you pick out the one you wanted? Do you still spindle spin?
The wheel I picked was by price, it's a single treadle Lendrum. It was a good choice to me as it's a very basic, uncomplicated wheel and it's easily portable. It also has a very small footprint if space is an issue. One suggestion I would make is to research if there is a spinning guild that meets near enough for you to attend. I recently attended one and intend to join. These are great people who will tell you the good and bad about their wheels (be ready they will all be positive about their wheels) and let you try them to see how you like it. I was surprised by how many Lendrums I saw there.
The reason I went to the wheel is because I'm not a knitter, no interest, but the wheel intrigued me and my fiancee knits. So she keeps me well supplied in what she wants to knit. Bear in mind that once you learn to spin, you are not at the mercy of yarn companies for what you can spin. You will be able to choose what types of fibers, what colors you want as well as what colors you like plied. It really does open up your knitting choices. And you can then see your final product knowing that you you knitted it, but you created the yarn to do it with.
That you have already been spinning on a spindle will give you a big advantage on the wheel, you already have the concept of drafting and trusting the spin to hold.
I do still use the drop spindle, especially if I'm working with silk, to me silk is fin on the spindle, in fact I'm looking getting one of the supported drop spindles to learn on.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful response! I hope, at some point, to take a spinning wheel class, and I hope I get to try out a lot of wheels. Like you, I'd want a wheel that was portable and didn't take up a lot of space. And price would be a major consideration; I know that there are some VERY expensive wheels out there, but they're definitely not for me!
Again, thanks so much for your response. You've givenn me a lot to think about. Right now, I'm so thrilled with being able to spindle spin better that I can hardly tell you!
Hazel in Tallahassee, Florida
YAY! that you can spin better all the time! Some people never get past spindle--our ancestors didn't! But don't discount that you NEVER will. Wheels can be expensive and a cheaper wheel (not that they are ever really that cheap!) is not necessarily a bad wheel. But there are marketplace sites where you can sometimes buy used (er, pre-owned) spinning supplies (even wheels) cheaper, just be careful. Check out yahoo groups and ask around.
For myself, I desired a Schacht wheel from the time it came out, 25 years ago. At that time, I felt I could not afford the $550 they cost and resigned myself to working with my Clemes Modern that a friend had GIVEN to me when she bought something better. This last year, as I started a Master Spinning program, I drooled over the Schacht Matchless (as it is now called) in a catalog and STILL felt that at $1100 I couldn't afford it. Then someone came to class complaining that she had a Schacht and didn't like it, it didn't work well for her and she wanted to resell it. (She had bought it used.) I bought it off her for $350, spent $75 to have it reconditioned...and now I have the Schacht original wheel I thought I couldn't ever afford....for $425!
It was wonderful to hear about your "adventures" with spinning wheels! Maybe some day I'll learn how to spin on one. And then, of course, I'll want to buy one. ;-)
Right now, I'm pretty sure I'd like to buy a charkha to spin cotton on. But I think I'll wait until I can take a class on charkha spinning. I'm planning on going to the Southeastern Area Fiber Fest (I hope that's the correct wording) in Asheville, NC, in October, and they usually have a charkha spinning class there.
I'm thrilled to be able to spin and to ply on my hand spindles! It's so exciting that it's gone from frustrating to fun!
I'll keep my eyes open for wheel deals, though. Thanks for telling me about yours.
My first wheel was an Ashford Traditional. They are plentiful and inexpensive. I bought mine for $150, and I've seen them for less. It is a great wheel to start with, and I happily put hours on mine and invested in a jumbo flyer and bobbins while I discovered what I wanted to spin.
I have gotten some really pretty spindles on Etsy - nothing renews your enthusiasm like getting a new spindle in the mail! - and often the sellers will send you a fiber sample. That's how I got into silk hankies. I highly reccommend silk hankies. Try just pulling the fiber from the corner. You can get a superfine shiny thread that hardly ever breaks, in gorgeous colors!
Have fun, and good luck!

I am currently an active duty SGT serving as a 15E but would like to join the guard as a 12M. The in/out roster shows no outs for 15E and no ins for 12M at my level, I'm unsure if the applies to soldiers switching from active to guard. So basically my questions are: can I change my MOS from 15E to 12M during a transition to the guard, even with 15E being short, and can I retain my rank? I understand that few states hold 12M positions so I was intrested in the Connecticut though I would rather be in Maryland/Virginia.

Lessons In Risk, Reward, And Failure From 7 Brand Disasters
A changed font, different colors, and even an additional service can erupt into public relations nightmares for brands. The strong ones might even try to ride out the initial hate. Some backpedal like mad. Here are seven examples of rebranding gone wrong—and the circumstances surrounding the companies' decisions to weather the storm of controversy and boldly plow ahead or return to their safe and sturdy old images.

About Last Night: Santana felt good, wanted to pitch more
Johan Santana tossed 84 pitches against 19 hitters and let up no runs and two hits during five innings against the Braves yesterday in first big-league start since September, 2010.
[jbox color="gray"]"I'm happy. Finally I had an opportunity to go out there in a game that counts and get it out the way. It was very important and it was good. … We went through tough times, good days, bad days, but we learned a lot and all we wanted to do is come back and help this team somehow. Everything is paying off. All the hard work we did together, the trainers, the coaches, doctors, everybody from Port St. Lucie to here, it was huge. I'm very happy, but we're still working and I'm not done yet.[/jbox]
Terry Collins told reporters that Santana asked to keep pitching beyond the fifth inning, but at 84 pitches Collins decided to pull his ace from the game.
Santana said this is true, adding, "I felt I could out there for one more, but that wasn't the case, and I think it was a great decision, we won the game, that's most important."

I have a mysql database that allows a customer to view an order they have made. The usernames and passwords only allow a customer to view but not change anything.
At the moment the passwords are stored as plain text. I have seen many security articles saying this is bad and that should someone crack into your database they can steal all your passwords. My problem is I'm confused, but it seems and correct me if I'm wrong (which is why I'm asking ) :
If someone breaks into my database then the only use of a password is to log into the system and see a users information. However if they have access to the database they already have access to the users information.
1) Text passwords + Cracker gains access to database = user data stolen
2) Encrypted passwords + Cracker gains access to database = user data stolen
Is there any point hashing the passwords?

Even if the Os had made that offer I have doubts that Garza would have taken it. By signing with the Brewers for what APPEARS to be the most money he has shown that winning is not his priority. The NL has enough very good teams that Milwaukee would probably have to win their division to make the post season. I'm not sure they're better than the Pirates, much less the Cards.
I'm assuming your comment is based on what you have posted as a reasonable offer and not what he signed for.

They just dismissed the possibility from the beginning of the off-season. It's not like he is out of the price range. Not sure why Baltimore wasn't in the sweepstakes for him, and then dropped out if his price was too high.

Indoor Bicycle Parking at Bar

Indoor parking would be lovely today. But I did have a saddle-protecting bag with me, so I don't ride home later with a wet bum. All good.

Back in the day - and I do mean the day - my buddy Gypsy and I tried to take our horses into a saloon. The owner Buckhead pointed his shotgun at us "What in the hell..." We said we heard that this town was full of horse thieves. Everyone in the saloon laughed and sang out in Danish "Ha ha silly Americans, you need proper horse parking. This - unless you wish to impose an equestrian aesthetic - is an indicator of poor public parking though of course bikes do not piss and shit".

- Zvi Leve (Montreal, QC, Canada) said...
I think that Todd has a point - this is likely an indicator of poor public bicycle parking facilities. Here is a similar indoor bike parking facility from the Spirit of 77 bar in Portland Oregon:
And here is another picture of the local street-scape, just around the corner:
Note the distinct lack of bicycle parking options! And this is at Portland Metro (the regional planning agency), where there are many other big trip generators too....

from an architectural perspective, what I like here is the innovative method of hitching ones bike. I can see why you're all making those references to cowboys.

I am so much impressed with this blog. I was always fond of biking (I am originally from Argentina, a non-friendly place for bicycle users)and I am biking more since I moved to Canada. I have taken on myself the challenge of commuting by bike and leave my big car parked on the garage. I have been doing everything by bike: practice (I am a psychiatrist), shopping, socializing). I am so happy to do that. Your site is a great encouragement for me, and I feel re-energized and inspired and motivated to continue biking. Thanks for that and for the great material you post. Winnipeg, my city is not at Copenhagen level but is rather bike friendly. From Winnipeg with love,

Sabia L.United StatesOrdered All The Sizes From Folica, And They Work Amazing!Any size of these flexi rods would work great! I have mid back length hair, and I was looking for alternatives to applying heat, I ordered these and no matter which size I used, they all worked, Use them as you would a curling iron, for bigger culrls go for bigger rods, for tighter more spiral go for smaller ones. More hair makes looser wavier curls, less hair for more defined curls.2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

By KEN LARSONSun Advocate Publisher
Last April I wrote an editorial talking about Miss Utah 2001, Jackie Hunt and her efforts promoting awareness of organ and tissue donations.
Over time, I have heard from many people in Price who were unaware of how to sign up to be an organ donor. Since the campaign's launch in April of 2002 the Utah Donor Registry (www.yesutah.org or 1-866-YES-UTAH) now has recorded more than one million potential organ, eye and tissue donors.
Krista Aller, a middle aged, female social worker from Logan, was the one-millionth person to sign-up on the registry.
This remarkable milestone was celebrated with a commemorative billboard campaign in Salt Lake City. The new billboard reads, "One million Utahns have said 'yes' to organ donation. Have you?"
"It amazed me when I learned that I was the one-millionth person to register to become an organ and tissue donor," said Aller. "I was just doing my part to help others. Plus, if you don't sign-up on the registry, your family must decide whether or not you wanted to be a donor. That can make the death more difficult for them."
Aller knows well the pain families must endure when faced with the death of a loved one and the confusion about donation, because she works as a social worker for Logan Regional Medical Center. She explained that registering as a donor makes it easier for families, since they can fulfill their loved one's wish, instead of guessing one's wish.
Alex McDonald, Chairperson of the Utah Coalition for Organ, Eye & Tissue Donation, remarked on the phenomenal success of the new Utah Donor Registry.
"Consider this fact," said McDonald, "Among Utahns between the ages of 16 and 74, over 74 percent of them have joined the Utah Donor Registry. That means over one million Utahns have decided to save lives through donation. That means that more daughters, husbands, wives and children will have better lives, because of the kindness of strangers."
Robyn Luke, whose sister, Laura, died waiting for a lung transplant, is a community advocate for organ, eye and tissue donation.
"The only way to save more lives is to have more donors," she said. "It's so distressing to wait by the phone, waiting for that call when you need a lifesaving transplant. But it's even more distressing when donors are lost, because no one knew that this person wanted to be a donor."
When Governor Mike Leavitt, Utah State Senator Karen Hale and the Utah Coalition for Organ, Eye, and Tissue Donation launched a $1.06 million, first-time federally-funded, on-line database, the driver license division provided approximately 900,000 names of people who designated 'yes' on their licenses for donation.
Since then, through the pages of community newspapers, a comprehensive marketing and community outreach campaign to educate and register Utahns as organ, eye and tissue donors, has increased the donor registry to over a million.
A survey performed last year indicates that 91 percent of Utahns favor donation, while currently only 65 percent of families consent for donation when a loved one dies.
The discrepancy is due in large part to family grief and confusion about a potential donor's wishes at the time of death. Now, families will be notified if their deceased member was on the registry, relieving them of having to guess what their loved one wanted.

Cook and his wife, Julee Cook, have just returned from their 12th Volunteer Optometric Service to Humanity, Utah Chapter, mercy mission. The mission was in Guatamala this year. The volunteer group consisted of six optometric physicians, dispensing opticians, office staff members and translators who provided free vision care services to the poverty stricken citizens of a small village outside of Guatamala City named Palencia. The team was able to remove foreign bodies from the eyes of several migrant workers as well as provide eye evaluations and donated glasses from Utah. Cook has worked with several local prospective eagle scouts who were working on their Eagle projects.

Since I am doing some work on my front leaf spring suspension, I shall probably be going from four leaf to six leaf like I have in the back. The sway bar links are shot as well, and I have heard that if I go to the stiff six leaf all around, I might not need the sway bar up front. I would like to keep the vehicle as stable as possible, as there are some nasty curves that are not banked very well in the area. Should I just keep it as stock as possible? Any input would be greatly appreciated...Pete H.

Welcome to this community forum, Pete! Your hint about wanting the Jeep to handle has me jumping in here. The stabilizer bar helps level the frame/body on corners. For the highway, this helps improve handling on the YJ Wrangler. Jeep recognized that cornering is important—especially on a vehicle with a higher center-of-gravity than a passenger car!
If you want the added cornering stability on-highway, consider sway bar disconnects for off-pavement use. Match up the height increase from your springs and make sure the disconnects compensate for any chassis/spring lift. This will provide the best of both worlds: You can use the sway bar on-highway and disconnect when going off-pavement to provide improved axle articulation for rough trails!
When off-pavement, make sure you tie up the disconnects to keep them out of the way. Swinging loose, these parts can snag a brake hose or interfere with the steering linkage!
In terms of stiffness, the stiffer stacks of leaf springs will, to a degree, offset the need for a sway bar. You might experiment here, very carefully of course, and see whether you find the handling acceptable without the sway bar. (The YJ Wrangler does have a wider track and spring width than earlier Jeep CJs, with the same wheelbase length as a CJ-7.) You may find, however, that the amount of spring thickness necessary to eliminate the sway bar completely could also cause too harsh a ride on-highway...
Trust this helps, Pete...Others might add their experiences!

You were right on the money there. As it is a mild wheeler at best (constant work in progress is more like it), road handling is a little more important at this juncture. Went with a five leaf setup up front and kept the stock sway bar. It is a little bit stiffer in ride characteristics, but then, I drive like an old man, so I have found the difference to be negligible. Oh, I would like to add how much of a difference that sway bar link makes when going around an unbanked turn....We have those kind of turns around here all too often (where the road curves sharply but has a flat grade), and the difference pre- and post- fix was noticeable!
Thanks for the help...Pete H.

Good to hear, Pete...Most who drive a vehicle with a sway/stabilizer bar notice an immediate difference when the bar is disconnected. This is why we always caution to connect the sway bar disconnects before hitting the pavement after being off-road!
Along with holding the vehicle more level, a sway bar actually causes a slight "squat" on cornering, as the outside cornering force compresses the outer wheel, which brings the inside wheel upward by way of the sway bar. This makes the vehicle drop slightly, which lowers the center-of-gravity slightly. The combination of less frame/body roll plus squatting improves handling and safety even more!—Moses

The title of episode is "Sometimes a Great Notion," which is a direct reference to Ken Kesey's second novel, the one you probably haven't read, but it's really a reference for Kesey's source for that phrase, Lead Belly's version of Goodnight Irene: Sometimes I have a great notion / jumpin into the river and drown.What happens when the dream you've based your entire life upon turns out to be a cruel, cruel lie? Sometimes you give up. You jump into the river, let it take you where it will.
There's nothing more you could you ask for in a movie that has blood, boobs, and psychopathic killers–in 3D!!! My Bloody Valentine isn't going to be a critic favorite, it's just going to be freakin' fun as hell. Also this weekend– Paul Blart drives his segway around a mall, and Biggie Smalls comes back to cinematic life. But 3D Boobs always prevail. Always.
I've always wondered where all that stuff goes.
Pity poor Felix Gaeta. First, he followed his long-time unrequited (probably) crush on Gaius Baltar right into Baltar's decadent and ultimately disastrous reign as President on New Caprica. Then, despite the fact that he was a key figure in giving the Resistance crucial information, he is nearly airlocked by a Tigh-led outlaw tribunal for being a traitor. Finally, in the midst of an unsuccessful mutiny against a seemingly crazy Starbuck, who is leading a fat-chance recon mission to find a clue to Earth, he is shot in the leg by Samuel T. Anders, and eventually gets it amputated.

Dear Mr. President, My Name is Max Powers. I watch a lot of TV. Tonight you are going to be on TV. This is the last time that you are going to be on the TV (like all official as the president) and you will be giving your farewell goodbye-bye talk. I hope nobody throws shoes. They probably will not because you are giving the talk in America and not Durka-Durakastan. Do you ever watch The Office? Now that is a funny show. So is 30 Rock. They will also be on TV with you. Not with you, but like also on tonight. Sincerely, Max Powers. PS, Don't let the door hit you in your ass on the way out.
Dear Mr. President,
FROM CAGE POTATO: We open with the hair-raising voice of punk-legend/TV host Henry Rollins: "They are bitter rivals from different worlds. A stone-cold champion from the frigid streets of Montreal, and a hot-blooded challenger from the black sands of Hilo Bay…" So begins the first episode of UFC Primetime, the "St Pierre vs. Penn 2" promotional mini-series that reportedly cost $1.7 million to produce, with each episode being completed just hours before it airs. Check out the full recap at Cage Potato.
In 1996 RDJ was arrested in LA for possession of 97 different types of drugs and a handgun. The cops nailed him driving down Sunset, totally hammered, and totally naked. The man has done 16 months in jail and plenty of time in rehab. In 1999 he told a judge "It's like I have a loaded gun in my mouth and my finger's on the trigger, and I like the taste of the gunmetal." It is because of quotes like that and his incredible ability as an actor that we think he's the shit. In celebration of his recent comeback here is a look at some of the craziest Robert Downey Jr. moments.

Take a breather, there's nothin' new tonight (except Knight Rider, where a bomb placed inside KITT will explode if he goes under a certain speed–Dennis Hopper's prob behind it).

Dont worry, there's an eruption of TV premieres coming up (The Office, Battlestar Galactica, Friday Night Lights, House, Lost).

Welcome to Earth. Please ignore the radiation. Please ignore the fact that you are standing amongst the ruins of a great civilization. Please ignore the fact that getting to Earth was your goal since the fleet was cobbled together in the wake of the Cylon sneak attack. Please ignore the fact that Earth was a made-up lie by one William Adama just to give you some kind of hope until, suddenly, it wasn't a lie any more. Welcome to Earth, the legendary Thirteenth Colony. How was your journey?
Tonight we have another full hour of new Scrubs on its new network, the most enjoyable aspect of Amerian Idol (the tryouts) and some Will Smith in I, Robot. Here's your daily digest of what's worth watching.
Will Smith, Mark Wahlberg and Queen Latifah are just a few of the rappers who have spun gold records into box office gold. But what about those emcees that haven't had the same opportunities? Here are a few hip-hop stars that never made the leap to the silver screen and the roles that they were born to play.
Agent Walker is pissed that she got played Bauer, and promises Larry Moss that she'll find him and bring him in. Tanner, the sniper, is about to wake, and will be interrogated for more answers. President Taylor gets on the phone with Larry Moss, and she's not happy that they let Bauer and Almeida out. But theres still a decision to be made about whether or not to pull out of Sangala.Bill leas Tony and Bauer into the CTU batcave. There's some explaining to do. Tony was injected by Emerson with a compound that kills you, but makes you able to recusitate. He was employed Emerson because of grievance aginst the U.S. gov't. And now he has to be put back undercover to investigate the 'pervasive' corruption thats exists. The team is back together, and Bauer insists they are his only trusted friends. Tony calls up Emerson, and they agree to meet up with him and Bauer.Back to the white house. Henry convinces his unwilling Secret Service agent to secretly drive him to the meeting with Samantha.Sean gets a phone call from his wife who's on the airplane. She's worried as hell and it makes Sean even more on edge.
The 3rd hour begins with Ike Dubaku sending a personal threat to the President Taylor. He threatens Madame President with thousands of innocent lives, while he wants the President to hold back on invading his country.Meanwhile, an angry Larry Moss, Renee Walker and an aviator clad Bauer take Almeida into custody, and agree there's a traitor amongst them. "From now on, keep me in the loop!" a jealous Moss proclaims. Janeane G. awkwardly asks to lift up Almeida's shirt while she affixes nodes to his chest to prepare for the interrogation. A stone-faced Almeida looks ready for anything Bauer brings at him.Back with Dubaku and Emerson in their high-tech hideout. Ike is getting antsy to stretch his terroist muscles against the Americans, for the invasion is still on.
The 24 premier-a-thon continues with 2 more hours of Jack Bauer tonight. The people over at FOX have also started a Terminator:TSCC blog that will be releasing weekly video podcasts about production of the show (and tons of other nerdy crap for us to chew on before the show premieres Feb 13th). Man vs. Wild premieres tonight, or poop your pants to a screening of the The Shining. 24 2 Hours starting 8/7c on FOX Jack Bauer (24) kills a terrorist vampire style on – Watch more Movie Trailer
After Schechter was blown awa, Bauer gets his gun taken away by Renee before he can organize a team to take down the sniper in the Columbia Building. Meanwhile, Tony gets on the phone with the head of Air Traffic Control. Almeida asks him to watch the runways at JFK as he coordinates two planes to land on a collision course with eachother. As they are about to ram into eachother, Tony tells the pilot in GSA 117 to pull up. "This was only a warning shot," he says. Close call.A sleek man in sunglasses named Emerson exits his car with an entourage to enter Tony's hideout, a boat! Tony shows him the module for controlling airplanes, and lets him take away Latham. He asks Emerson what the hell is going on, but Emerson leaves him the dark, saying that he doesn't need any more information than necessary, yet he assures him that after it's done, they won't ever need to worry about money again. Oh yeah, and they both agree that having Bauer on their ass isn't good.
Finally, after seemingly 24 years of not having a new Episode of 24, Jack Bauer is back in action saving the the world from emminent destruction one day at a time.The episode begins with a father and daughter in a car heading towards school in Washington D.C. After a bit of squabbling about cell phone texting, the father gets a cell phone call with no one on the other end. Then, as he drives through an intersection, a black mini-van t-bones the car, leaving Mr. Latham and his daughter shaken, but not seriously injured. 5 seconds later, another black van crashes into the back of the car, propelling it up and over another car. Masked men with assualt rifles cut Mr. Latham's seat belt and drag them into their van, and speed away from the scene. "I've got money" Latham wimpers, with a masked man retorting "we don't want your money, we want you to do something for us."
I didn't get the point of Gran Torino. I also don't get the point when racist old people ramble about how discontent they are with what the world has become. But much like Gran Torino, I enjoy the every-loving hell out of watching them do it.

(Kevin Connolly is 2.5ft tall) Awards shows are pointless. They are for gay dudes, lonely women, and people who work in the entertainment business. The Golden Globes last night showed just how utterly predictable most of them can be. Do you really need to have a panel of judges tell you that Heath Ledger deserved to win for The Dark Knight? No. You saw the movie and made your own decision, and it wasn't hard. But for some reason I still get a surge of pride when my predictions come true. It's basically like a long, drawn out game of Jeopardy. With that said, here's the breakdown from last nights Globes, and a few pictures of hot women.
I missed my screener for Gran Tornio, so I can't give you my personal opinion of the flick. But word on the street is that it's a solid film, so it leads our list of recommendations for the weekend. There are also a few more worth checking out that do NOT involve Clint Eastwood growling racial slurs at minorities.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
Helper city council approved a pay raise last week for all regular full time employees in the city's police department.
Councilmember Bob Farrell added the item to the council's April 19 agenda after a decision two weeks earlier to increase the wage of one of the city's public works employees.
"I felt a little ashamed that we have someone who's been here for seven months that was on top of our officers," said Farrell. He explained the increase approved earlier in April had increased the public works employee's wage to the point of being higher than some individuals on the police force.
The councilmember said he wanted to see an increase for police officers before the city enters a new budget cycle in July.
"I think [the officers] are no less deserving than the other person that two weeks ago got a $1 per hour raise," he said before making a motion to increase wages for the entire department.
Helper's police department is comprised of four regular officers, a sergeant and a chief. Councilmember Dean Armstrong noted that there is only a few cents difference between the wage of the officers and the wage for the sergeant.
"I see you have a very flat pay scale here," he said. Armstrong said regardless of whether Farrell's motion to increase the police department's wages passed, he would like to revisit the matter at a later date to provide more incentive to higher ranking or more qualified officers.
A raise in the police department is not as simple as a pay raise for a few individuals. Officers routinely accrue overtime, which equates to higher payroll costs for the city.
Further, when an officer takes sick time or vacation pay, the department calls on reserve officers to fill shifts. Reserve officers are trained police officers who only work for the city when necessary and are paid a lower wage. So when an officer takes paid time off, the city is paying both the officer on leave and the replacement reserve officer.
Other concerns about Farrell's motion to raise police wages centered around the budget.
Mayor Mike Dalpiaz pointed out the police department is already over-budget, as are a number of other departments in the city.
"Everybody is deserving. They deserve a hell of a lot more than $1 an hour or $5 an hour. So does the streets [department]. So does the museum," said the mayor. "But we've got to find the money before we go sprinkling money out."
Armstrong estimated that the cost of covering the pay increase in the current budget year, which ends on June 30, could be covered by a surplus collected by the city in fines and citations.
He said when the city collects more than what in anticipated for fines, the police department should be the first to benefit from the surplus.
Farrell's motion passed with a 3-1 vote. Councilmember Kirk Mascaro opposed the wage increase and Councilmember Chuck Buchanan was absent.
