This isn't some conspiracy ,it's real.When I was a little boy America was supposed to be the good guy. We didn't torture, we didn't spy on citizens and search them without a warrant. We believed all people were equal under the law it didn't matter if you we're a rich Wall Street banker a politician or a janitor. Back then all people where innocent until proven guilty by s court of law.All that has changed. We are not that country anymore. There is nothing special about America anymore were just like any other corrupt country.The only thing special about us is our military power. international law is meaningless Who will challenge us? Will Australia? We have no transparency we don't even know for sure what our own government is up too. We are slowly becoming another third world nation a country for and by special interest. War on terror,war on drugs war,war,war. And even our press fails us and whistleblowers are the new public enemy and any one who protest and complains about corruption and growing inequality is told to just stop whining. There needs to be some major changes and major social upheaval to get back our civil and constitutional rights with a lawful and transparent government that serves the public interest.

Roger:"The so-called 'legal experts' in this case are probably Tea Party supporters solely concerned with attacking Obama. THAT is politics. "So very wrong Roger. Among many other non Tea Party members...my brother supports Obama, is not a US citizen, IS one of the legal experts , teaching and publishing on such matters in several languages and in charge of the Legal team for another county's armed forced on active duty.....and he vehemently condemns this. In my opinion, you are the one dragging politics into this.
Roger,The US Constitution is very clear on the purpose of out military;"To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions"I don't recall Afghanistan or Iraq invading us. The Constitution does not grant the Government the authority to engage in nation building or going to war at the request of other countries. The Constitution is also explicit on dealing with traitors;"The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.""Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."We created the terrorist problem by interfering with governments. Most of the despots we have killed or supported their killing, we at one time supported with military and/or financial aid -- something not authorized by our Constitution. I was in the military and support a strong US military, but I more strongly support our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Sent with my iPhone - please forgive any spelling or grammar errors.
"To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions"The problem here is that this is a power granted to Congress, but it does not exclude other military action. It is saying that congress has the power "To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions", but it does not say what they don't have the power to do nor that they have exclusive jurisdiction. What I am curious about is when is your right to trial suspended? I assume that imminent danger voids it, but what exactly does that constitute?
Michael,Refer to The Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights for the freedoms that cannot be restricted.
But all of those can be restricted. You cant yell fire in a crowded building with no fire. You can't own certain weapons. If you start shooting at someone, you essentially waive your right to trial. What constitutes an excessive fine? The constitution and the amendments are full of restrictions, regulations, and exceptions.

Drone strikes in Afganistan may qualify as war and thus make senseWhat about Yemen? or other countries that we're not at war with?Drones make it too easy, with no human lives at riskIf we do drone attacks against someone that can't defend themselves, they'll be more likely to retaliate with some terrorist attackI'm not being critical of what they've done so much as we need to move in the direction of having fewer military actions. More effective to build roads and hospitals in Afganistan or wherever. At least we're "out" of Iraq and getting out of Afganistan.
and now for a 16g drone that can fly at 35km/h in bad conditions and transmit video feed for 30mins. Pretty good for a modest...125000 pounds each!http://www.gizmag.com/black-hornet-nano-uav/26118/
I am definitely getting one of those things! At current exchange rates, that's only 195,675 dollars!
"I play video games with my 11 year old son quite a bit. He's good. I mean really good. I know he plays online (I play online with him) but I recently found out he's got a "reputation", even amongst college and adult gamers."Your son is already obsolete.The computer does all the real time stuff. Too much time delay from video camera to satelite to operator back to satelite back to drone.Which takes us to Asimov's laws for robots:A robot will not harm a humanA robot will obey humans unless it violates rule #1
The arguments invoking US citizenship against Roger's premises miss a few points:The US Constition prescribes what creates US citizenship, but not all that may forfeit it. Section 349(a)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act [8 U.S.C. 1481(a)(3)] provides for loss of U.S. nationality if an American voluntarily and with the intention of relinquishing U.S. citizenship enters or serves in foreign armed forces engaged in hostilities against the United States.None of us can have listened to every utterance by Awlaki about his US origins, but it would not be at all surprising if somewhere along the line he took occasion to renunciate his US citizenship. Even without that, a federal lawsuit involving this issue was dismissed by a federal judge (a 'legal expert'?) who found the issue perplexing and declined to act on the basis of "political questions." The whole subject is well covered in a NY Times article at: http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/people/a/anwar_al_awlaki/index.htmlThe article discusses at length the grounds upon which the Obama administration determined to proceed against al-Alwaki as it did. Those who disagree with Roger might learn something from it. In an era where global organizations are becoming increasingly powerful, moreso than many sovereign states, direct military hostilities by such organizations against the USA may be far more threatening than those originating from foreign countries. Sometimes offense is not just the best defense, it is the only means of defense.With respect to Roger's comments about the motives of the salon.com initiative, I also noted that some of the those pushing the citizenship argument had strong Republican Party complections. Sometimes someone a little removed from a situation can see it more clearly than those of us who are directly involved in the midst of it.None of that negates my aforementioned over-riding concern about the slaughter of innocent people from "collateral damage," not to mention provisions in several recent defense authorization acts making provision for the arrest and indefinite detention, incommunicado, of persons, including US citizens, determined by the US military to be terrorists. Shades of the disappeared in countries ruled by fascist regimes.When I wrote to my Republican Senator about this, I got over five single spaced pages of argument that boiled down to, 'We've always been able to do this, so it is OK to codify it in a law.' What puzzles me is how we so often get wound up in the US about some issues, and ignore more serious issues looming over us. Haven't quite figured it out, but maybe it has something to do with the diminution of the quality of communication on the internet, twitter, facebook, talk radio and TV, etc., the dumbing down of our educational system, and mindless fads that seem to rage on in this environment.We can do much better, and must if we want to survive.

I asked the following simple question:'Imagine you are leading a US Army patrol in, say, Afganistan, patrol an area known to be threatened by Al-Quaeda. You come under fire. Are these 'legal experts' demanding that the patrol leader trot up to the enemy combatants to ask them 'Any of you chaps American?''I see Sam has been game to answer this simple question, but so far no-one else has really. Thanks you Sam.So let me up the ante by asking another very simple question - and there is a bonus question with it.Imagine that US armed forces cannot return fire without first checking to see whether any of the hostiles are (or had been) American citizens. US solders in Afghanistan will get killed as a result (how many thousand body bags so far?).Question: how do you explain this command to the parents, wives and children of the dead US soldiers?Bonus question following this one:How many weeks will it be before every US soldier resigns from the US Army as a result?I await lots of really helpful answers to these simple questions (but no avoiding the issue).Cheers
Nick Gatel commented "The Constitution does not grant the Government the authority to engage in nation building or going to war at the request of other countries."Gee Roger, It's a pity the Australian Constitution doesn't contain the same requirement. We wouldn't have been dragged in to supporting the US in Vietnam, Iraq 1 or Iraq 2 or, no doubt other conflicts - or would we!
Wait! I changed my mind. Instead of a drone, I want a rolling iPad holder to hike ahead of me and show me what's coming up! Anybody can have a drone, I'll be the only kid on the block with a Double telepresence robot!From the marketers:Live Vicariously Through Your iPad -- It will probably be some time before the Double telepresence robot from Double Robotics becomes commonplace, but it easily took the prize for the coolest product at Macworld/iWorld. Double consists of a self-balancing driving cylinder with an extensible stalk, topped by an iPad. The idea is that you can use another iPad over the Internet to control where your Double goes and see what its iPad camera sees while displaying your face on its iPad, all in real time. You can even raise and lower the stalk to maintain face-to-face conversation whether the other people are sitting or standing. ... Double weighs only 15 pounds (6.8 kg) and can operate all day on a single charge. It's not cheap though, listing for $2,499 and available for pre-order for $1,999, with an early 2013 ship date..
Or, you could just stay at home and let it do your hike for you
Roger,In my day, resignation was not an option for an enlisted man, and it is even less so now (repeated tours etc.) But I get your point.
Obviously if you have people on the ground you can't make them make a legal case against someone before shooting themSo, it's okay to have drones in Afganistan and maybe across the border into Pakistan (although Pakistan may not agree)But what about other countries in the world - less clearAnd rather than having so much military action we should use peaceful techniques like building roads and hospitals
Roger,I think there is quite a difference between returning hostile fire vs "surgically" removing a single individual with a drone.I can see it now...some pimply kid in on vacation in Kabul with his family jokingly posts on Facebook that he has joined al-Qaeda. A CIA computer picks it up, identifies the ISP, tracks it to his cell phone, satellites in orbit lock onto the cell phone, a drone is launched, poof, no kid.Far fetched? Maybe. But then I am in Colorado Springs, 1000 miles from home, posting with with a phone. Inconceivable to me 4 years ago.What if we had these drones and policies in 1972? Would we have targeted Hanoi Jane? Many government officials thought so. Not saying she was right or wrong, but many called for her to be charged with treason. But today the President and military could be the judge, jury and executioner.Scary. No due process.
I asked the following simple question:'Imagine you are leading a US Army patrol in, say, Afganistan, patrol an area known to be threatened by Al-Quaeda. You come under fire. Are these 'legal experts' demanding that the patrol leader trot up to the enemy combatants to ask them 'Any of you chaps American?''I see Sam has been game to answer this simple question, ..Imagine that US armed forces cannot return fire without first checking to see whether any of the hostiles are (or had been) American citizens. US solders in Afghanistan will get killed as a result (how many thousand body bags so far?).Having been there recently -- If shot at, the military can shoot back. If a European is observed wandering about but not firing a weapon, then that's of interest. Of course, the Taliban will have an interest too and you'd try to identify said non-native. Bonus question following this one:How many weeks will it be before every US soldier resigns from the US Army as a result?FWIW, I can answer this having prepped reserve unit for Iraq deployment. In reality, once activated, there's no real resignations in lieu of deployment for US enlisted or officer anymore, except for some sort of verifiable hardship granted by a general (which may lead to a discharge as deployment is the job). Now the US military will process the resignation or discharge during the deployment, .. it will be waiting upon return from Afghanistan. There's refusal to follow lawful orders but that's a military justice issue. Bottom line: A US troop is allowed lawful self-defense (to put it mildly...). Even with the new sights, if a combatant is putting some out effective fire, it will be returned --.For my prize, can I get one of the foxier BPL girls wrapped in cuben fiber?Add: There's some militarily neat things about "drones" but, IMO, there needs to be a clear-cut case the target is an actual combatant or terrorist. How do we define terrorist? Also, remember the rest of the world is catching up on this technology...

CLEVELAND (WKYC) -- The family of a special needs student says she was left out of her school's kindergarten graduation ceremony.
7-year-old Kealani has mild autism and goes to Clara Westropp
School. Last Tuesday, there was a graduation ceremony for kindergarten
classes, but Kealani's class was not part of it.
"I don't want her to feel that she isn't important," says her mother, Sarah Spino.
The district says a class party -- complete with pizza and caps and
gowns, was held for Kealani's class -- but her family says they were not
aware of it.
The principal has sent a formal apology letter to the family. The
letter assures them that no child should ever feel excluded, and it will
not happen again.

The position of Promoter of Justice at the Congregation is similar to that of prosecutor in civil law and carries responsibility for investigating more serious crimes in the Church such as desecrating the Holy Eucharist, or violating the seal of confession.

(Jun 18, 2012) On April 28, 2012, China's State Council published the Special Provisions on Labor Protection of Female Employees (text in Chinese, Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China website (May 7, 2012)). Aiming to enhance the protection of female employees' well-being in the workplace, the Special Provisions repeal the 1988 Provisions on Labor Protection of Female Employees. They took effect immediately on the day of publication. (Id.)
According to the Special Provisions, female employees are now entitled to 98 days of maternity leave for childbirth, an increase of 8 days from the current 90. Among the 98 days, 15 may be taken before giving birth. In cases of dystocia (difficult delivery), the maternity leave will be extended by 15 days; in cases of multiple births, the maternity leave will be extended by 15 days for each additional newborn. (Id., art. 7.)
During the maternity leave, the female employee will receive a maternity allowance if she is covered by maternity insurance; if she is not insured, the employee will be paid by the employer the same salary she earned before taking the leave. (Id. art. 8.) Similarly, the medical expenses for childbirth, miscarriages, and abortions are paid from the maternity insurance fund, but if the employee is not insured, the medical expenses will be paid by the employer. (Id.) The Social Insurance Law, which took effect on July 1, 2011, requires employers to contribute to the maternity insurance fund so that their employees can be covered by the maternity insurance (Social Insurance Law, art. 53). (Laney Zhang, China: Law on Social Insurance Passed, GLOBAL LEGAL MONITOR (Nov. 4, 2010).) Thus, employers that have not yet contributed to the maternity insurance fund will have to pay the insurance benefits to their uninsured employees in accordance with this rule provided by the Special Provisions.
According to the Special Provisions, pregnant female workers may use their work time to visit a doctor's office for prenatal care. (Id. art. 6.) Employers must also give one hour of work time each day to lactating female employees for breast-feeding. (Id. art. 9.)
The Special Provisions adjust the scope of jobs that employers cannot assign to female employees, by listing the types of jobs that female employees cannot do in general or during menstrual periods, pregnancy, or lactation, respectively. (Id. art. 4 & Appendix.) The Special Provisions also expressly require the employer to prevent and stop sexual harassment of female employees in the work place. (Id. art. 11.)
The Special Provisions apply to employers located within the territory of China, including state organs, enterprises, social groups, and other public and private sector employers. (Id. art. 2.)

HEUVELTON Heuvelton Central School is taking a step back to examine how to encourage internal growth after the Morristown Central School District Board of Education called off a study of the benefits of sending its high school students to study at Heuvelton.
The two schools were considering splitting the cost of a $9,900 study by education consultant Phillip M. Martin that would investigate the advantages and disadvantages of sending Morristown students from grades seven to 10 to Heuvelton under a tuition agreement.
At Wednesdays meeting, the Heuvelton Board of Education unanimously agreed to pursue the study while the Morristown Board of Education, on the same night, voted against it.
Were disappointed that were not following through with this study, but we understand, Heuvelton Superintendent Susan E. Todd said. No hard feelings.
I think were going to pull back and reflect, Mrs. Todd said. Nothing has changed, really; the board is certainly willing and interested in reaching out to neighboring districts.
Mrs. Todd said her district hopes to pursue cost-saving measures such as shared services, tuitioning agreements or mergers with any of the districts it borders, though she said its too soon to say what its next step will be.
Heuvelton Central School board President Michael J. Davis, who expressed surprise at the vote by Morristown, said his goal is to put our time and energy and resources into making Heuvelton a top performing school.
Citing conversations with members of the Morristown Board of Education earlier in the month Mr. Davis said, They seemed pretty confident that it was a good thing.
Wed be more than happy to entertain the thought of tuitioning students from other districts if other districts thought that would benefit their children more, Mr. Davis said.
Mr. Davis, echoing Mrs. Todd, said a merger also could be acceptable. Were not going to turn away a merger if it benefits everyone.
Mrs. Todd said it is difficult, at the high school level, to provide advanced placement and elective courses when not every student will enroll in them. By combining high school student populations, schools are able to offer more courses and to teach them more efficiently.
Looking down the road, we know it is going to be increasingly challenging to provide the type of education we want to for our students, she said. Were going to be fiscally responsible for our taxpayers.

The Motorola DROID camera, although deemed an excellent Smartphone, has had problems since its introduction with owners reporting focusing issues. This seemed to be especially prevalent with the camera's automatic focus feature. This problem, although not experienced by everybody, was the camera's one failing. It was thought that an update that was scheduled to come out on December 11th might be designed to fix the problem. However, the DROID suddenly seemed to improve in its focusing ability overnight, which led to the speculation that the fix was pushed out already, without announcing it.
The Good
The Motorola DROID, in spite of its previous issues, is a really good Smartphone. Its only real problem was that the camera was not able to focus properly, at least for some people. Now that the problem has been corrected, albeit in a somewhat mysterious and controversial fashion, the autofocus works great. The camera feature also offers auto-completion and automatic error correction with the on-screen keyboard, and takes crisp, bright photos. The DROID also offers a barcode scanner, which can be quite handy.
The Bad
Some people have experienced different focusing problems with the Motorola DROID, which seem to be caused by the green signal that is supposed to indicate a "locked" photo not really working properly in all instances, since blurred photos are sometimes still experienced even when the camera claims to be locked. In addition to reports of blurry photos, some DROID owners report that the camera feature is slower than what they would expect. However, some people report that the DROID is actually faster than some other Smartphone cameras that they have used in the past.
The Bottom Line
Although the reported improvement in automatic focusing ability is still somewhat of a mystery, this "fix" was just the thing to make the DROID shine. This is a solid Smartphone with newly improved camera functionality, which makes it a good choice for anybody looking to purchase a Smartphone.

Dear Customer,
Over the past 29 years Ryanair has grown from carrying 200,000 to over 81 million customers annually by offering lower fares, great service and choice to Europe's air travellers. No other airline can match our low fares, our on-time arrivals, our tiny rate of cancellations, or lost bags, or our new fleet of over 300 aircraft.
But we want to keep improving our services, which is where you can help me. Please send me your suggestions as to how Ryanair can further improve our industry leading customer service.
All suggestions will be gratefully acknowledged by me. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks
Michael O' Leary

FLASH: Thursday's Lucky Draw winner was Thomas Bolda! Congratulations, Thomas.
The nefarious mastermind Jaime Grijalba of Exodus 8:2 considers the proliferating similarities between the visuals of Psycho and episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
Speaking of which, Darren at the mOvie blog continues his exploratory reports on episodes of that seminal show, with "A Dip In The Pool", in which the Master collaborated with another hero of a dark and wicked wit, Roald Dahl. And sorry about that last link Darren: html is the devil's work.
Astounding all, the wondrous and waggish Laura attacks from her not-so-secret base at Laura's Miscellaneous Musings to consider Rope, a recent conquest in her efforts to topple the Hitchcock canon.
Not to be outdone, Matthew of The Chiarascuro Coalition sings of the tragedy of poor Margaret, the crofter's wife who makes The 39 Steps an indelibly darker and richer experience...
...whilst W. B. Kelso returns to life just when everyone throught he was dead, with the last of his series showcasing vintage ads and articles, with one of Hitchcock's original obituaries at Scenes From The Morgue, and a commentary on the trailer for Frenzy at Micro-Brewed Reviews...
At Memories of the Future, intrepid voyager through time, space, and mind Jesse Ataide investigates a little case of Suspicion...
...whilst esco 20, aka he who is By Film Possessed, takes a deep, deep dive into Shadow of a Doubt.
The dashingly dextrous disseminator of Dubai, no dubiety, aka Hind Mezaina (see, that's what you get when you encourage me) wraps up a week of wonders at The Cineaste by showcasing a interview with Hitchcock on the television show Monitor, from 1964. A must-watch for Hitch fans.
The indefatigable crew at Limerwrecks come to the end of their journey but not before offering more of what they do best: Jim "Norm Knott" Siergey composes upon a theme of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and Hilary "Surly Hack" Barta sounds off and rounds off.
...and David Cairns contributes his own lines as well as links over at Shadowplay.
The great and all-seeing Ed Howard brings his epic trek through early Hitchcock to an end with the original The Man Who Knew Too Much at Only The Cinema.
Brian Doan at Bubblegum Aesthetics comes through with a piece that boils the Hitchcock touch down to essentials.
Meanwhile, at Hell on Frisco Bay, a whole other Brian speaks of the NFPF, the rise of digitalisation in cinema, and film festivals showing newly restored films he's going to be attending, which I suspect he wrote purely for the purpose of making me feel insanely jealous...
...and at 21 Essays, Lee Price is celebrating concluding an awesome series of posts with a sixth that ties together Hitchcock, Blackmail, the MacGuffin, Michael Powell, and Alma Reville in a great big cinephile slashfic. Seriously, kudos, Lee.
Strictly Vintage Hollywood presents an approximation of Hitchcock's second feature and the only one of his films that is considered lost, the elusive The Mountain Eagle.
The sartorially splendiferous Stacia of She Blogged By Night is another hypnotised by the seductive sway of Rope...
...and Adam Batty at Hope Lies at 24 Frames Per Second joins the ranks peering into the shadows of Shadow of a Doubt; and that site's Hitchcock-a-thon will continue throughout the weekend, like those guests who just won't leave after a party's over, but they're so much fun to have around you just can't kick them out...
...but Marc Edward Heuck of The Projector Has Been Drinking has chosen to celebrate Hitch's showman side, as the master of marketing.
At Silent London, Pamela Hutchinson naturally has the silents of Londoner Hitchcock on her mind, in specific his actual debut as director, The Pleasure Garden.
At U.S. Intellectual History, Ray Hiberski discusses Notorious.
Strictly Vintage Hollywood, not satisfied with rocking our world all week, offers up Mary Mallory's glance at another Graham Cutts and Alfred Hitchcock collaboration, The Passionate Adventure, a project that first brought Hitch into the orbit of the Selznick clan...
...and Sean Gilman brings it home with a glass of Champagne - that is, Hitch's 1928 silent film - at The End of Cinema.
At John McElwee's Greenbriar Picture Shows, part two of a study of the impact made by The 39 Steps in the US upon first release, marking the beginning of Hitchcock's arrival as an international filmmaker...
...and at Cinema Sight, they rage, rage against the dying of the light with two last day posts, as the crew rounds off their top ten of Hitchcock's films with their individual picks for Hitch's absolute best, but you'll have to click to see what they are! And Peter J. Patrick discusses Hitchcock's way with actors, moving beyond that "actors are cattle" jive to study how well he handled stars and got them to play against type. Thanks for all, guys.
KC, not the one with the Sunshine Band but of the far more awesome Classic Movies, has collected together a formidable set of links to pieces on Hitchcock around the web at the moment, including one piece that presents the irresistable what-if notion of Ian Fleming's interest in getting Hitchcock to direct the aborted James Bond film that was later transmuted in Thunderball, and which caused Fleming so much legal heartache.
And in true Hitchcock style, we return to where it all began, as Ferdy on Films hosts guest writer Paroma Chatterjee and her piece on Suspicion.
High Def Digest wraps up that site's buffet of Hitchcock posts for the blogathon with David Krauss' look at Hitch's fondness for one-word titles.
Adam Zanzie of Icebox Movies finally gets his backside around to contributing (I kid 'cause I love, Adam) as he jumps into Hitchcock's visually innovative The Ring, and finds it a mixed experience.
At Shadowplay, David Cairns continues to stun through his dedication in offering a study in Hitchcock's use of vertigo-inducing high and overhead camera angles and aerial shots.
Darren Mooney concludes his survey of the trove of riches that are the episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents at the mOvie blog, with a look at "The Horse Player". All hail Darren!
At Moving Image Achive News, the team there have pitched in to raise consciousness of the blogathon and its purpose, and Caylin Smith takes a look at the film all this fuss is about - The White Shadow. They've also posted a piece on their Facebook page.
At They Live By Night, the mysterious beast whose rampant cinephilia is feared by all bloggers known as Bilge Ebiri writes about perhaps the most atypical and least-known film in Hitchcock's oeuvre, Waltzes From Vienna, and finds the signs of Hitch's grasp on cinematic rhythm glimmering through the costume drama trappings so interesting he wonders if Hitch wasn't a maker of musicals all along...
...and Joe Thompson of The Pneumatic Rolling-Sphere Carrier Delusion hits the end of his drive through Hitchcock-related historical ephemera at 100 MPH, as he takes a leaf through 1933's The World Film Encyclopedia and looks at the entries on Hitchcock, Cutts, and the other neglected heroes of The White Shadow. That's some class scholarship, Joe.
And the charming young Miss Rachel, who is seen so often parading the sunny boulevards holding aloft her cream-coloured light-deflecting mantle that she is now widely referred to by the hoi-polloi as The Girl with the White Parasol, expounds with solicitous delicacy upon the subject of one Miss Ingrid Bergman, who starred in some of those new talking pictures directed by that frightful Mr Hitchcock, and especially one called Notorious, which sounds, well, notorious, but we would not know, as we avoid such vulgar pastimes.
At Kine Artefacts, the eliptically effusive Ellie explores the problems of working with old nitrate film, that delicate, dangerous and endangered material upon which the entire legacy of early movies rests, and celebrates the skill of those who take it upon themselves to save it and store it.
Old salt Buckey Grimm wraps up his series on places where films are stored and restored at Mindless Meanderings with a brief but charming photographic paean to the little workshops where the archivists labour.
And roaring out of times still to come, riding upon a wave of curved space, The Futurist! pauses on adventures only long enough to hurl us his piece on Family Plot, Hitchcock's very last movie, which is darned apt for the last hours of our last day.

SouthPark GOTY. I laughed so many times. And the game is suprisingly very decent.
This is how a REAL guild trades.
Dance parties are a must.
I don't understand the raid requires 50 cr , mine's 64 I know it's not much but more than needed yet almost all raid get one shot by the adds , the boss was easier than the adds mainly cause he was 1 , while adds are many , soon after beating the boss raid ran into a "wall" maybe 9 adds in a bunch ~3 or 4 melee rest ranged and 1 shot any1 getting near it , wiped maybe 10 times till the raid disbanded.... And I'm sure ppl were higher cr than 50 , but why does it let you enter the instance with cr that gets you one shot

Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella
Ready to Help Whenever You Need Us
We know who to talk to, where to find answers, and what steps you need to take. Let us put our 30 years of experience to work for you.
Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella Birth Control Drugs Linked to Life-Threatening Side Effects
The birth control pills Yasmin and Yaz have both been linked to serious, life-threatening injuries including blood clots, stroke, heart attack and death. Yasmin and Yaz are known as combination oral birth control drugs because they contain a combination of the hormones estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progestin (drospirenone). Yasmin was approved for use in the United States in 2001, while Yaz, a lower dose version, was approved for use in 2006. A generic version of Yasmin, marketed as Ocella, has been on the market since 2008. The difference between the two is in the amount of the estrogen component, ethinyl estradiol. Yasmin contains 30mcg ethinyl estradiol, while Yaz contains a lower dose of 20 mcg.
Side Effects Associated with Yasmin and Yaz
Both Yaz and Yasmin have been linked to serious, life-threatening side effects including:
- Blood Clots
- Strokes
- Heart Attacks
- Myocardial Infarction
- Pulmonary Embolism
- Kidney Failure
- Gallbladder Disease
- Liver Disease
- Liver Tumors
- Death

Dr. Paul E. Naftali's Ratings
Doc was walking out this past Sat when I called with a corneal abrasion. (1:30 pm or so) said he'd wait for me and he did. What a WONDERFUL demeanor! Took real great care of me and really got the physical discomfort to subside. I'm pretty sure I have just discovered my new eye doctor. Bless them.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2155165].votes_count ]]
Dr. Naftali is top-notch, friendly and professional- keeps up to date on new methods of testing and eye diseases. Scheduling appointments is also easy and friendly. Questions regarding fees and glasses are not always answered on the spot due to the need of being answered by staff sometimes not present at the time I am there for my appointment. This is a little frustrating but the doctor's excellent care is worth the inconvenience of those issues.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2155164].votes_count ]]
Really good eye doctor. He took his time and explained things to me. He was even more helpful than my family doctor regarding my symptoms. I would highly recommend.

Great doctors and staff. Always very thorough and knowledgeable. Go above and beyond. Really good with kids, too.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2155162].votes_count ]]
A real gem! Dr. Naftali is the consummate professional: knowledgeable, intelligent, caring and involved. His equipment is top-notch and he spends as much time as is necessary to perform a thorough exam. No stone is left unturned. His staff is equally professional. You certainly get what you pay for. And considering an examination of the eyes is one of those things you only get once a year, why would anyone short-change themselves by having it done at a place like Pearle or, worse, Walmart? Strongly recommended.

As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. After another negative experience seeing another eye dr. recommended by my junky insurance plan, working with the entire staff here was both a pleasure and a relief. I was reassured that the muscles in my eyes were in fact functioning at 100% and that I just needed new glasses for working on the computer, not months and months of therapy. As for choosing glasses, Helen made that experience the easiest ever! The whole process from start to finish took maybe 2 hours! Definitely recommended!
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2155160].votes_count ]]
Moving here from the south, I was quite impressed by the warm and helpful demeanor of his whole staff. You feel at ease in his office and during the exam. The exam facilties were state of the art. But at the end of the day, you just don't find enough caring and knowledgable doctors who take the time to sit with you and discuss your questions and concerns. Real class act. Highly recommended.

LOWVILLE After a half-year trial period, Lowville Academy and Central School District Superintendent Cheryl R. Steckly is losing her interim tag.
We believe Mrs. Steckly has proven herself to be an exceptional educational leader with the intellectual and instructional skills to lead our district forward in this time of great educational change, Board of Education President Thomas M. Schneeberger said in a release announcing her permanent appointment.
Since being appointed interim superintendent last fall, Mrs. Steckly has provided an absolutely seamless transition from the leadership of Kenneth J. McAuliffe, who retired at the end of August after 11 years as superintendent, Mr. Schneeberger said.
She is a person of utmost integrity, tireless work ethic and is respected by the entire staff and student body, he said.
Im very honored to be appointed and pleased to be leading such an outstanding school district, said Mrs. Steckly, who had been the elementary school principal since September 2007.
The superintendent said she has enjoyed a satisfying career at the district and was happy that school board members gave her the opportunity to first tackle the job on an interim basis, with the option of moving back to principal.
I just wanted to be sure it was a good fit for me, as well as the board, she said.
After Mr. McAuliffe announced plans to retire, the district in March 2012 received 29 applications for the post.
However, Mrs. Steckly did not apply, citing concerns about losing contact with students, the time commitment required for the job and lack of prior superintendent training.
School board members, after narrowing the field to two finalists, last June decided to extend the application deadline to see whether any other strong candidates would come forward.
After thinking more about the situation and talking with several people, Mrs. Steckly decided to see if board members would be interested in appointing her on a trial basis for the 2012-13 school year.
And they were.
As a skilled communicator devoted to the school and community, we look forward to Mrs. Stecklys presence here for many years, Mr. Schneeberger said.
Mrs. Steckly was hired in 1984 as a teacher aide and was made a teacher the following year. She later taught for four years at East Linn Christian Academy in Lebanon, Oregon, before returning to Lowville Academy.
During the 2005-06 school year, Mrs. Steckly became the districts students with disabilities program director as an intern and was appointed to that job permanently in July 2006, following completion of the education administration graduate program at SUNY Oswego. She served in that capacity until being named elementary principal.
Mrs. Steckly earned a bachelors degree in elementary education from Eastern Mennonite College in Harrisonburg, Va., and a masters degree in education from SUNY Potsdam.
She and her husband, Edward F., a student advocate at LACS who is employed by Mountain View Prevention Services, live in the Croghan area.

So Who's At the 2?
According to D'Antoni, shooting guard is one of the Knicks deepest positions. Wilson Chandler has started there the first three preseason games, but D'Antoni says there's a chance Chandler could be the starting power forward on opening day, which would move Amar'e Stoudemire to center.
"Those are questions we'll try to answer in the next three or four games," D'Antoni said. "But those are questions that can go into January."
Among the others looking for minutes at the two spot are Toney Douglas, Landry Fields and Roger Mason, Jr. D'Antoni expects his shooting guard to be able to make the open perimeter jumper in order to spread the floor for Stoudemire to work the inside. Defensive ability also comes into consideration.
"We are trying to find the perfect combinations, the best defensive team and the best offensive team to open the floor up and give Amar'e the best possibility to run rampant," D'Antoni said. "Obviously, if you could spread the floor more it will lead to Amar'e getting to the rim or getting to the foul line."
All things considered I'd start Chandler or Fields. Walker has excelled in his role thus far, especially from 3. Unless Mason can prove that he is as pure a shooter as he once was. When Az returns that will change, but you can't expect someone coming off that injury to have an impact right away.

YIELD: Makese 6 to 8 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 hr
TOTAL TIME: 3 1/2 hr
- 1/4 ounce dried avocado leaves
- 4 lamb shanks (about 4 pounds total)
- 2 oz dried costeño rojo chiles, wiped clean
- 2 1/4 pounds fresh tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 2 1/2 cups chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- warm corn tortillas
Preheat oven to 300°F with rack in middle.
Put avocado leaves in bottom of a heavy medium pot with a tight-fitting lid. Sprinkle lamb shanks all over with 2 teaspoons salt and arrange in pot (they don't have to be in 1 layer). Roast, covered, until meat is very tender, about 3 hours.
Meanwhile, slit chiles lengthwise, then stem, seed, and devein. Tear chiles into roughly 1-inch pieces (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). Heat a comal or large heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot, then toast chiles, stirring constantly, until more pliable and slightly changed in color, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. (Chiles will crisp as they cool.)
Cover tomatillos with water in a medium saucepan and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well, then purée with chiles, garlic, cilantro, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a blender (in batches if necessary) until chiles are ground to small flecks.
Transfer shanks to a cutting board to cool. Strain lamb juices remaining in pot into a glass measuring cup. Let fat rise to top and skim off. Coarsely shred meat, discarding bones.
Heat oil in a heavy medium pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook one fourth of tomatillo sauce (it will spatter), stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add remaining sauce and lamb juices and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Add lamb. Thin sauce with water if necessary. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 4 minutes.
Cooks' notes:
·Lamb can be roasted and shredded 3 days ahead and chilled. Chill juices separately; discard solidified fat.
·Lamb in sauce can be made 2 days ahead and chilled (covered once cool).

They are also the most comfortable I've tried. They have an even conduction and no stinging or burning even after several uses. The only pads I will buy

If you've ever watched a runway show and wanted to snatch a look right off the catwalk, we're giving you a chance to do just that! We're teaming up with Mulberry-a storied British brand adored by stylish tastemakers like Kate Bosworth and Alexa Chung-to offer a contest exclusively for Who What Wear readers and Mulberry Facebook fans. All you have to do is visit Mulberry's Facebook page and pick your favorite Spring/Summer 2012 look from the six shown above! Each piece in the iconic label's latest array is a little sporty, a little sweet, and entirely suitable for the season's sunshine and occasional showers, which makes your task that much more pleasurable. Peruse these six head-to-toe Mulberry outfits, then tell us which one you like best for a chance to score one of these coveted looks! The last day to enter is 4/25/12.
Look 1
Bomber, Drawstring Short, Evelina Hobo, Woven Character Shoes (Total Outfit: $3665)
This top-and-shorts set looks effortless enough for weekend lounging, yet the textured boucle fabric and versatile cream-colored hue makes it look luxe too. Paired with platform heels and a buttery-soft leather hobo bag, this look is designed for the quintessential Mulberry girl with a playful sense of style.
Click here to win Look 1!
Look 2
Star Sweater Dress, Holiday Bayswater Bag, Woven Sandals (Total Outfit: $3040)
Infused with the brand's signature whimsy, this outfit's funky vibe gets toned down with a sleek, monochromatic navy palette. Mulberry's cozy sweater dress is at once supremely comfortable (thanks to a soft fleecy lining) and delightfully quirky (thanks to scattered acrylic stars), making it an ideal choice for cooler evenings.
Click here to win Look 2!
Look 3
Kagool Jacket, Maxi Skirt, Holiday Bayswater Bag (Total Outfit: $3445)
A dramatic play in contrasts, this fun ensemble pairs a sporty anorak with an elegant maxi skirt. The vibrant yellow topper is on-trend for spring and shields you from rainy weather, combining both function and fashion. Meanwhile, a flowing tulle skirt offers a pretty counterpoint and a striking bright bag gives the look extra fashion-forward flair.
Click here to win Look 3!
Look 4
Shift Dress, Taylor Satchel, Woven Sandals (Total Outfit: $3150)
Mulberry's take on the perfect warm-weather frock is this relaxed olive green shift dress that's easily dressed up or down. Though it comes in a breezy, loose-fitting shape designed to keep you cool in summer, the drawstring toggles cinch in your waist, lending you a subtle peplum effect and a flattering silhouette.
Click here to win Look 4!
Look 5
Long Tube Dress, Hooded Drawstring Jacket, Cookie Lily Bag (Total Outfit: $3615)
A lively animal print-a multicolored tangle of zebras, jaguars, and all manner of safari animals-makes a bold statement on a strapless tube dress. The result is a look that's sophisticated with a slightly flippant attitude, especially when the floor-skimming number is worn with a sporty hooded jacket and petite purse (puppy not included!).
Click here to win Look 5!
Look 6
Rib Long Sleeve Top, Eyelet Short, Long Gathered Mac, Doggy Rain Mac, Woven Sandals (Total Outfit: $3370)
A pop of yellow is an unexpected-and chic!-surprise when cleverly teamed with neutral pieces, like Mulberry's ribbed cashmere-blend shirt and slouchy beige jacket. Sunny yellow shorts and sandals (and, if you're a dog owner, a matching coat for your pooch!) give this taupe-colored getup a cheerful burst of color.

Temps are rising as summer approaches but many skiers aren't ready to store their boards yet. Well, you don't have to. Winter is playing an encore, pounding the western states with fresh powder while several resorts in the Rockies and out East are still powering lifts. Many resorts close this Sunday, April 15 but some are offering discounted or even free lift tickets on their last day. Here's a list of late season deals and resorts that plan to stay open even later into the spring.
SKI Mag's East Coast staff needed to squeeze in a trip to Sugarloaf before the lifts close this spring. Running out of both time and snow, we were nervous, but thanks to an unprecedented initiative by Boyne Resorts' three New England resorts, we're in luck.
Michigan-based Boyne announced last week that it had turned the snow guns back on for a late-season burst that ensures good spring conditions at Sugarloaf, Sunday River and Loon Mountain. Good for them. (See the press release below.)
Is this the start of a banner year or what? Colorado's Arapahoe Basin opened last week, earlier than it ever has, and Loveland had its earliest season opening in 40 years. Even Las Vegas's local hill opened a full seven weeks ahead of schedule.
Here's a new angle on marital bonding. Carry your wife through an obstacle course and win her weight in beer and five times her weight in cash at the 10th annual North American Wife Carrying Championships this weekend. The annual event attracts 2,000 or more spectators to Maine's Sunday River ski resort.
The New England Pass: Sunday River, Sugarloaf, and Loon Mountain
Valid every day of the 2008-09 season. No restrictions, no blackout days. 15% retail discount at Sunday River and Sugarloaf retail stores.

New England skiers and snowboarders will be experiencing a new mode of mountain transport during the 2008-2009 winter season as Sunday River prepares to install the first Chondola in the Northeastern U.S. The $7.2 million hybrid lift is one of four in North America and will transport skiers, snowboarders and summer guests from the South Ridge Base Area to the summit of North Peak, a location from which six of Sunday River's eight peaks are directly accessible.
