Re: Would Nemesis have been better if Jonathan Frakes had directed?
Sirtis at times is nothing more than a little gossip queen in regards to Trek. I suppose that is what her career has come down to. Unfortunately she gets stuff wrong way too often. Always has. And she has always been one to take shots (some subtle, some not) at DS9 or place blame at the feet of DS9 for something she thinks went wrong. She has been doing this since the early to mid 90s.
Very, very "This".
Sirtis has often been quite unkind about "Deep Sleep Nine" (her pet-name for the series at a few conventions in the 1990s), and has always been a bit bitter at the end of TNG.

Do you need to change the content shown in the results of the Drupal search? It is imperative to do this in the Drupal way, and it is most helpful to understand the thought
Inside the search module you will find the standard t would be located in your /sites/all/themes/zen folder. Here is the theme_search_page which is nicely commented so you can see the parameters, and purpose of this function.
* @param $type
* The type of item found, such as "user" or "node".
* @ingroup themeable
function theme_search_page($results, $type) {
$output = '
- ';
foreach ($results as $entry) {
$output .= theme('search_item', $entry, $type);
$output .= '
$output .= theme('pager', NULL, 10, 0);
return $output;
After looking more closely you will notice that this function calls the theme_search_item function by way of theme('search_item', $entry, $type) so you now see that this is actually the function that you want to manipulate. This function looks like the following:
function theme_search_item($item, $type) {
$output = '
'. check_plain($item['title']) .'
';
$info = array();
if ($item['type']) {
$info[] = check_plain($item['type']);
if ($item['user']) {
$info[] = $item['user'];
if ($item['date']) {
$info[] = format_date($item['date'], 'small');
if (is_array($item['extra'])) {
$info = array_merge($info, $item['extra']);
$output .= '
'. ($item['snippet'] ? '
'. $item['snippet'] .'
' : '') .'
'. implode(' - ', $info) .'

';
return $output;
So what you will do next is to copy all of the above function directly into my template.php file that is found in the /sites/all/themes/zen folder. The template.php file is what you can use in order to indirectly manipulate core Drupal. Not just for search, but for all core modules. Then change the name of the theme_search_item($item, $type) function to zen_search_item($item, $type). After saving the file, Drupal no longer calls search modules function but now calls your newly created theme zen_search_item function. Simply awsome, and now when you have to do a core drupal update, your changes in the theme will not be over written when a core search module update is performed.
Don't forget to change the name of your template.php function or you may get the following error. "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare theme_search_item() (previously declared in....)" I'm just saying ... this didn't happen to me ;)
Now, lets get to the really good stuff. Because this new zen_search_item() function is in your theme, you are pretty free to do whatever you need in order to get the results you desire. So, my quick change of removing the extra info mentioned previously can be accomplished by removing the code that contains the extra data that you don't need. Your new function in your template.php file now becomes:
function zen_search_item($item, $type) {
$output = '
'. check_plain($item['title']) .'
';
$output .= '
'. ($item['snippet'] ? '
'. $item['snippet'] .'
' : '');
return $output;
So, you can see that you removed a lot of info but at this point you can go both ways. You can add content, change the elements or do whatever you desire, without editing core Drupal!

Showing Result Count and Result Range in Drupal 5
We wanted Google-like search results, e.g. "1-10 of about 100 for 'foo'". Here's what I did:
What was helpful was when I realized that search doesn't return the entire found set, instead it returns: the number of pages in the found set ($pager_total); the page number that you're on ($pager_page_array); and the actual results for that search page ($results). Given those numbers, we can calculate how many search results we have based on the number of returned pages. For result pages that have less then a whole page, like a search with just a few hits, or the last page of a found set of results, we count the $results array for more accurate reporting.
function theme_search_page($results, $type) {
global $pager_page_array, $pager_total;
$output = '';
//establish page variables
$total_pages = $pager_total['0'];
$total_page_count = $total_pages - 1;
//approx number of results based on page count
$approx_results = $total_pages * 10;
//calculate range
$page_number = $pager_page_array['0'];
$start_result = $page_number * 10 + 1;
$end_result = $page_number * 10 + 10;
//get search term
$search_term = arg(2);
//remove page numbers and plus signs
$search_term = explode('?', $search_term);
$search_words = $search_term['0'];
//check for a single page of results and count array
if($total_pages == '1') {
$found_set = count($results);
$output .= '
';
$output .= ': '. $start_result .' - '. $found_set .' of '. $found_set .' for "'. $search_words .'"';
$output .= '
';
elseif ($page_number == $total_page_count) {
$found_set = count($results);
$adjusted_end = $total_page_count * 10 + $found_set;
$output .= '
';
$output .= ': '. $start_result .' - '. $adjusted_end .' of '. $adjusted_end .' for "'. $search_words.'"';
$output .= '
';
else {
$output .= '
';
$output .= ': '. $start_result .' - '. $end_result .' of about '. $approx_results .' for "'. $search_words .'"';
$output .= '
';
$output .= '
';
$output .= '
';
foreach ($results as $entry) {
$output .= theme('search_item', $entry, $type);
$output .= '
';
$output .= theme('pager', NULL, 10, 0);
$output .= '
';
return $output;
Hope that helps!
Here's one that may be a
Here's one that may be a little simpler:
function blueprint_search_page($results, $type) {
global $pager_page_array, $pager_total;
$default_results = 10;
$count = (count($results) == $default_results)? $default_results: count($results);
$first_result = $pager_page_array[0] * $default_results;
$output = '';
if(($pager_total[0] > 1) && ($pager_page_array[0] == $pager_total[0])) {
$count_total = sprintf(' of about %d', $default_results * $pager_total[0]);
$output .= '
'.sprintf('Showing results %d to %d%s', $first_result + 1, $first_result + $count, $count_total).'
';
$output .= '
';
foreach ($results as $entry) {
$output .= theme('search_item', $entry, $type);
$output .= '
';
$output .= theme('pager', NULL, 10, 0);
return $output;
It would be awesome if
It would be awesome if someone could give these instructions for Drupal 6. It seems that there are a lot of use here that need because it has been addressed several times with no solution given. Thanks
Total number of search results in Drupal 6
Similar to the Drupal 5 solutions, this taps into the pager to find the count. However, it looks to me like D6 has a new global $pager_total_items which makes this simple. In my search-results.tpl.php I add:
global $pager_total_items;
and then use:
Your search returned <?php print format_plural($pager_total_items[0], '1 result', '@count results'); ?>.
I didn't need, and didn't figure out, how to show text like "Viewing results 11 to 20 of 99 total." This could be calculated using $pager_page_array and $pager_total like in the Drupal 5 examples, but you'll still have to provide the number of results per page.
More on the global variables here: http://api.drupal.org/api/globals
an error?
I tested this snippet for a site.
Your search returned <?php print format_plural($pager_total_items[0], '1 result', '@count results'); ?>.
I added it to a custom search-result.tpl.php, though no value is returned for the number of results (@count). A search with multiple results and a search with a single results yielded 'Your search returned results'
avolve designs | ethical by design
Did you make sure to add the global $pager_total_items somewhere before the PHP code? It's the first snippet of code in my earlier post.
I had made a error in the code (your snippet works fine). I had not yet posted a follow-up/correction.
Inserting the snippet into the search-result.tpl.php file has the snippet repeated for every search result rather than just at the top.
avolve designs | ethical by design
Oh ok. Yes,
Oh ok. Yes, search-results.tpl.php is for the entire search results page. search-result.tpl.php is for each search result.
Google-like search results "Displaying 1-10 of 10" for Drupal 6
Just want to add that you can show the number of results displayed on the page like Displaying 1-10 of 249", adding the following code at the top of your search-results.tpl.php (yes, search-results with a "s").
The $results_per_page has to be set manually according to your settings.
global $pager_page_array, $pager_total, $pager_total_items;
if ($pager_total_items <> 0){
$from = 1+(($pager_page_array[0])*$results_per_page);
if ( ($pager_page_array[0]+1) == $pager_total[0]){
// we are on the last page
$to = $pager_total_items[0];
else {
$to = 1+(($pager_page_array[0])*$results_per_page)+$results_per_page-1;
print "Displaying $from - $to of ".format_plural($pager_total_items[0], '1 result', '@count results');
Hope this help.
Works in D7 too
For Translation (local -> i18n)
For a multi-language site, substitute the following snippet for the "print" line:
$output = t('Displaying %from - %to of %number', array('%from' => $from,
'%to' => $to,
'%number' => format_plural($pager_total_items[0], '1 result', '@count results')
print $output;
Extra Search Form Found with Search Results Page
Hi all,
I have a site that contains the search block in the upper right-hand corner of the page. When search results are displayed, there is an extra search form within the results node beginning with "Enter your Keywords" and another search box to do yet another search. The box seems to be coming from the core search module function search_form. I haven't been able to find anything on hiding that extra box. It seems redundant when you have the search block already in place. Is there any way to hide this extra search form from view in the results page? Thanks!
don't think you can get rid of it beyond using style
From what I remember when I dug around, the Search module prints the form directly, between the title and content elements of the page, so unless you hack the core module yourself, there's no way to stop this extra form from printing (could be wrong about this, but that's the conclusion I came to after looking at the search.module code).
But, if you don't mind knowing that the extraneous code is there, you could find a way to hide it with CSS. The form has an id="search-form". Your block level search form should have a different one (I think "search-block-form"). In style.css, add this:
That would hide the search form EVERY time it appeared in the body of your site. If you wanted to only hit the search page, you should be able to target it specfically by employing the page class that gets written to it by drupal: .page-search. So:
.page-search #search-form{
Personally, whether it's due to a meaningful attachment to elegant markup, or whether it's because I'm neurotic, I can't stand knowing that <form> is sitting there in the page and just "not" being displayed. ;)
...neurotic, i'm pretty sure.
Addendum: I haven't tried this myself, but I've done similar things to move the comment form around (which suffers from the same sort of issue). Anyone who knows this is a bad idea, please say so! ;)
It worked
That was a simple fix to the problem. Thanks! As long as Drupal doesn't break its back calling the form function, I'm happy with hiding it.
There has to be a better way
There has to be a better way to fix this. Hiding things with CSS doesn't seem sustainable. Maybe a preprocess function somewhere?
A mediocre alternative
This is just as vulgar conceptually, but at least it stops the HTML before it leaves the server. Drop it into your theme's template_preprocess_page function:
if (arg(0) == 'search') {
$vars['content'] = preg_replace('/<form action="\/search\/node".*<\/form>/s', '', $vars['content']);
Still looking for a more 'drupal' way to do this...
Drupal 6 Solution
Hey guys, a Drupal 6 solution is to override the default 'views-view' template file. Copy the 'sites/all/modules/views/theme/views-view.tpl.php' file to your theme folder (changing the filename to: 'views-view--.tpl.php') and delete the following lines (approx. lines 35-39):
<?php if ($exposed): ?>

<?php print $exposed; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Clear your cache, and refresh!
it's a good solution for views
It don't work for the build in search result page, because it's not using views.
It's easy and follows Drupal standards
This gets rid of the content of the form, but not of the

 containing some hidden fields. Hope this will help.
* Implementation of hook_form_alter() for the Search Block
function yourmodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
switch ($form_id) {
// Hide Search form on Search Result page
case 'search_form':
where this code go? on the
where this code go? on the template? or do i have to create a *.module?
Since the function is
Since the function is referring to
yourmodule, this snippet is probaly intended to go into a custom module. However, I'd like to put this function into template.php, but that doesn't seem to work :-(
I was able to get it working
I was able to get it working in template.php :
function template_form_search_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
I'm not quite satisfied with this either, though. There should be a way to remove the entire form, instead of just the visible parts. I don't want users with assistive technologies getting lost when they find this search form without any useful input fields.
Any ideas?
In drupal 7, just deny access:
function YOURTHEME_form_search_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
// Remove the search form from search result
// page if there are results
if (arg(1) == 'node' && arg(2) != NULL) {
$form['#access'] = FALSE;
Needs update for Drupal 7
The format_date() function has changed in Drupal 7 and this page needs an update. See #221006: Handbook is not up to date on format_date for details.
Has anyone mentioned just using the .tpl.php files?
You can just use the templates that come with the search module located in /modules/search/
Copy those files into your theme folder and change the markup.
For more on using template suggestions, see:
Drupal 6 Template Suggestions ( http://drupal.org/node/1089642 )
Drupal 7 Template Suggestions ( http://drupal.org/node/1089656 )
You can use hook_page_alter: http://drupalcontrib.org/api/drupal/drupal%21modules%21system%21system.a...
* implements hook_page_alter()
* Alter the page output before render.
function NAME_OF_YOUR_THEME_page_alter(&$page) {
// kpr($page); //use this to find the item you want to remove - you need the devel running.
// Remove the search form from the search results page.
if (arg(0) == 'search') {
if (!empty($page['content']['system_main']['search_form'])) {
This should be placed in the template.php file of your theme.
in that module no such
in that module no such functtion (theme_search_page)! at least in d7 i can't see it.

Short answer: Yes!
It's not all that hard either. This post will serve as a resource center for anyone who wants to start printing their own FedEx® shipping labels. Below is everything from shipping label supplies to why you shouldn't print bar codes on colored paper.
These tips can be applied to most major shipping carriers, such as:
- FedEx®
- ShipRush®
- Ebay®
- PayPal®
Why can't I tape over the bar code on my shipping label?
Placing tape over shipping label bar codes can interfere with the bar code's ability to be scanned. If the tape gets wrinkled over the bar code, that can cause problems when scanning. Even if you get the tape to lay perfectly flat the light reflections off the tape can also make it impossible to be scanned.
Do I have to use white paper for my shipping label?
White paper is the preferred color to use so that you get the greatest amount of contrast between the printed bar code and the paper behind it. The greater the contrast between the bar code and its background, the easier it will be for bar code scanners to read. If necessary, you can get away with using lighter colors like yellow and pink for shipping labels, but it's still better to use white.
Is it better to use roll labels or sheet labels for shipping labels?
Some think it's better to use roll labels because they think they're faster to print out, which may be true for just the shipping label, but roll labels can actually make your order fulfillment time longer. When you fill an order not only are you printing a shipping label, you're also printing a packing slip and/or invoice. Using sheet labels allows you to collate all of your shipping forms onto one sheet, which is a lot faster than printing out a shipping label from one printer and a packing slip from another printer.
How can I keep track of packages in a multi-part shipping system?
Just add bar codes! If your order fulfillment system requires the package to be tracked through a system of picking and packing before the shipping label is printed you can just use a series of smaller bar codes to help keep everything in order. Doing this can help you decrease the number of shipping errors your company runs into and speed your order fulfillment.
Need shipping label sheets?
We have several layouts that would work with various shipping labels from major carriers.
- LS-6x4BL
- LS-6x4BR
- LS-6x4B2
- LS-2x1B4 (For multi-part shipping.)
- LS-2x1B8 (For multi-part shipping.)
Examples of Printed Packing Slip/Shipping Label Combinations:
Need an eCommerce, Shipping, or Order Fulfillment program?
You can check out our resource page that lists many eCommerce, Order Fulfillment, and Shipping programs for you to choose from. Check out our eCommerce, Shipping, and Order Fulfillment resource page!
Do you have any other questions about shipping label sheets?

Of course, the NICU did a consult yesterday and here is the funny slice of our convo that I posted about on my blog:
she was all: what are you having?
ali: a boy
She: well, little white boys don't fare as well as, say little black girls.
Ali: if I am having a little black girl, we have bigger problems than preterm delivery.
But why would they tell you that???? It's not like you could change his race or gender, even if you wanted to? Sounds like a really stupid comment that they should be keeping to themselves at this point. But, I wonder if it has anything to do with circumcision...
What would it have to do with circ? The impression I got from my OB when he was talking about it was that it had more to do with lung development...

she was all: what are you having?

She: well, little white boys don't fare as well as, say little black girls.

WTF-ity f f f?! That is so racist! Wouldn't it just be girls fare better? I don't know. Nuts.
Anyways, relax. Baby, G-d Willing, is in a good place and RIGHT where he should be and you are exactly where you should be and all is well. Just relax and enjoy.
Sending you love and health.
I don't know about the race card, but I can speak towards the gender thing: female fetuses actually develop faster (although not hugely) than male fetuses. It is a protective measure: females are more important to continue the species.
You see it in times of stress as well: in a stressful environment, you will see an increase in female births compared to male births. I would see it occasionally at work (I do research in a pharma company with rodents)...if the mouse colony was specifically stressed we would have far more female babies compared to male babies. It was a big sign that something was wrong in the colony.

text: I don't suppose you have given any thought as to how you might focus a UV image. If you use an optical grain focuser, you will run the risk of permanently damaging the retina in your eye, as UV light is extremely dangerous to sensitive tissue (I don't think an SPF ointment splashed in your eyes would be advisable). Of course you could try to assemble a closed circuit video camera, with monitor, to the eyepiece of the focuser, to which I would say have fun.

Yes I did, but it's totally crap. I expected very much from this title, you could say I was waiting for this one the most. But the graphics aren't as good as they made believe us, but they aren't bad either. There is one thing that's screws up this title, the AI. It's really terrible. Cars are crashing in at the start and in 40% of the races you will loose your wings immidiatly, which are so important to have in this game. Also they crash in eachother, most races you start the wings are flying everywhere at the first corner. It's so bad, that you actually cannot finish a race undamaged if you want to stay in front. Besides, I completed the full story mode in 7 hours. The races are short, most of the times just 3 laps, the AI is as mentioned very poor and the story line is not as good as they've told us. Not that I'm very interested in a story line either. I won't buy this game if I where you, it's a good rental, but nothing more. The thing I can't get right now is why they screwed up the AI that big... If they did it right, it was surely the best racing experience for touring cars out there. A pro is that there are so much cars and so much circuits. And the circuits are very well done.

Who is making these games lately? 40 year old men? I havent gotten a cool game lately except for soul calibur 2. Out of like twenty games....I hate Apex, UFC 2(huge dissapointment although graffix are sweet, but it takes more than that), Every rally game after Rallisport...list goes on. To have this system with all it can do and then have these shitty titles. Good thing I have the earlier games that still kick ass but dont it seem to you guys that lately they have just sucked ass?
Posted 02 April 2003 - 08:21 PM
I totally agree man, I actually did like Apex, but other than that nothing cool has came out lately, not after Splinter Cell and Panzer Dragoon, everything else has sucked. No wonder PS2 is crushing Xbox in sales, MS will never have a number one system if this keeps up, it will be another Neo Geo if they dont start getting some good games to the Xbox. Seriously I know alot of you guys dont like Console style RPG's but regardless every system needs atleast one good one, ATLEAST one, Xbox has zero. Games like Final Fantasy and Xenosaga are system sellers for millions of people, must haves, the only *MUST HAVE* xbox has is Halo. One game is not enough, There are plenty of other cool games for Xbox, but they are so few and far and they are not system sellers. In the past six months the only really good games I liked alot were Panzer Dragoon and Splinter Cell, that is Pathetic. Most of the games that come out for Xbox are garbage, and it's a shame, it's such a cool system.

Diana Olick is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, currently serving as CNBC's real estate correspondent as well as the author of the Realty Check section on CNBC.com, which won the Gracie Award for "Outstanding Blog" in 2015. She also contributes her real estate expertise to NBC's "Today" and "NBC Nightly News."
Prior to joining CNBC in 2002, Olick spent seven years as a correspondent for CBS News.
Olick began her career as a local news reporter at WABI-TV in Bangor, Maine; WZZM-TV in Grand Rapids, Mich.; and KIRO-TV in Seattle. She joined CBS in 1994 as a New York-based correspondent for the "CBS Evening News with Dan Rather" and "The Early Show." She also contributed pieces to "48 Hours" and "Sunday Morning." During that time, she covered such stories as the World Trade Center conspiracy trial and the Boston abortion clinic shooting.
In 1995, Olick was assigned to cover the Midwest as a Dallas bureau correspondent. In the three years she was there, she covered all forms of natural disaster, including the crash of TWA Flight 800, the JonBenet Ramsey murder mystery and was the exclusive correspondent for the trial of Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols. During that time, she also took a temporary assignment in CBS' Moscow bureau, where she chronicled the brief presidential campaign of Mikhail Gorbachev.
In 1998, Olick was reassigned to the New York bureau and then immediately posted to Bahrain for the buildup to a possible second Gulf War. A year later, she went to Albania to cover the U.S. military buildup during the conflict in Kosovo.
Upon her return, Olick was reassigned to CBS' Washington bureau and the Capitol Hill beat. During Campaign 2000, Olick covered the Senate campaign of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and later joined the Bush campaign as a special correspondent for "The Early Show." That fall, she was named Supreme Court correspondent; her first case was Bush v. Gore.
Olick has a B.A. in comparative literature with a minor in soviet studies from Columbia College in New York and a master's degree in journalism from Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism.

I'm always asking myself the same question as I cover this seemingly endless housing crisis: if so many programs with so many lenders are working their darndest to save troubled borrowers, then why do we even have a foreclosure crisis?
Update: Oops..seems this isn't real after all. The email that got sent around has been exposed as a fraud according to an article in the New York Daily News. This house is in Toronto and NOT for sale.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments, I always say (ok, you know I didn't say it), but this one boggles the mind. As House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank was launching unveiled threats to lenders today that they'd better write down the value of troubled loans or face stiff regulation in the future...
I realize you're all going to get on my case again for saying something nice about a home builder, but here's the thing: After reporting the obscene amount of money a certain CEO of a certain mega-mortgage company raked in last year (Mozilo of Countrywide), I simply have to give a shout-out to Lennar for their no-performance, no-pay policy.
Not since the defenestration of Prague has anyone landed in a bigger pile of doo-doo than I did last week, when I defended a tax break for the nation's home builders. The Senate finished up its version of a bill to save troubled homeowners, and it included a provision that would allow home builders to carry losses back several years to profitable years.
The Mortgage Bankers didn't like my post today, even though I cited the Washington Post as my source. They claim the Post story was not right. I'm not taking sides, I just want all the sides to have their say, so here's the MBA:
I'm sure there are plenty of troubled borrowers around the country who will do a bit more than chortle when they hear the story of how the Mortgage Bankers Association is having trouble paying the mortgage on its new building in downtown DC.
Late yesterday, after much hashing and re-hashing behind closed doors, a bipartisan team of Senators emerged with the beginnings of a bill to help troubled borrowers, local communities and the nation's home builders. The home builder provision is, I believe, necessary and huge for the industry.
According to the latest quarterly report from Halstead Property, the first quarter of 2008 saw property values continue their outlandish surge on the isle of Manhattan. The report touts "new records" in median sale prices and average apartment sale prices.
Centex wouldn't comment on Stephen East's estimate that the company got 18 cents on the dollar for the land it sold--an estimate based on his calculation that the land was originally valued around $900 million.

Until recently, General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards "Quds" Force, was still being hailed as a military hero and man for the future. But more and more details are emerging concerning his destructive role in Iraq. By Ali SadrzadehMore
The Shia faith has always been a defining aspect of Iranian nationhood. In the twentieth century, the pro-Western regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi silenced critics and was eventually toppled by a popular revolution with strong religious dimensions in 1979. Tehran's stance has since been basically anti-Western, but that may now be changing. Maysam Behravesh, a political analyst with Tehran Bureau, assessed the nature of the Shia regime in an interview with Hans DembowskiMore
In his new book, "Terror vor Europas Toren" (Terror at the Gates of Europe), Wilfried Buchta analyses the reasons for the rise of the jihadist militia of the self-styled "Islamic State" and the disintegration of the Iraqi state. Ulrich von Schwerin spoke to Buchta, a scholar of Islam, who worked as a UN analyst in Baghdad for many years about the future of the nationMore
At present, IS is the most dangerous terrorist militia in the world. It controls a territory that stretches from north-eastern Syria to western Iraq, including almost all Syrian oil and gas fields.

It is not clear what Saudi Arabia hopes to achieve with the war in Yemen. In any case, the ongoing airstrikes are not going to solve any problems. On the contrary: many new ones are emerging, such as the strengthening of the al-Qaida network or a dangerous confrontation between Iran and Saudi Arabia. By Ali SadrzadehMore
If new Arab military alliances want to avoid the mistakes of past interventions, their members will have to re-assess their approach and address the structural deficits that led to previous failures. By Omar AshourMore
Violent conflicts are spreading throughout the Middle East. The German government is extending a hand to the Egyptian president, siding with Saudi Arabia in the Yemen conflict and delivering weapons to the Peshmerga. But there is criticism from the opposition and scepticism within the ruling coalition. By Bettina MarxMore
In his impressive 3D documentary "Iraqi Odyssey", the Iraqi-born Swiss filmmaker Samir combines the personal stories of some of his relatives with archive footage of events in Iraq from the Ottoman Empire to the era of Saddam Hussein. Igal Avidan spoke to him in BerlinMore
Saudi Arabia bears the greatest responsibility for the triumphant advance of the Houthi militia in Yemen, says Birgit Svensson: the leading Sunni power in the Gulf simply stood by while a Shia counterbalance emerged virtually on its doorstep, thereby creating an opportunity for TehranMore

Just to clarify, though the Dallas Cowboys honor their all-time greats in their Ring of Honor, the club does not officially retire numbers. Bob Lilly is the only player in franchise history to wear No. 74 and nobody has worn Troy Aikman's No. 8, Roger Staubach's No. 12 or Emmitt Smith's No. 22 since since those Cowboys legends hung 'em up.

Grant Morrison thinks Batman is gay!

Re: Grant Morrison thinks Batman is gay!
What he actually said was
"I got interested in the class element of Batman: He's a rich man who beats up poor people. It's quite a bizarre mission to go out at night dressed as a bat and punch the hell out of junkies. And then he goes home and lives in this mansion. There's an aspirational quality to him—he's an outlaw and he can buy anything. He has a new Batmobile every movie. He's very plutonian in the sense that he's wealthy and also in the sense that he's sexually deviant.
Gayness is built into Batman. I'm not using gay in the pejorative sense, but Batman is very, very gay. There's just no denying it. Obviously as a fictional character he's intended to be heterosexual, but the basis of the whole concept is utterly gay. I think that's why people like it. All these women fancy him and they all wear fetish clothes and jump around rooftops to get to him. He doesn't care—he's more interested in hanging out with the old guy and the kid."
which is a bit more nuanced than "Batman is a homosexual!!!!"
The class aspects of his statement are more interesting to me.

The Argyll and Bute region
The sheer variety of interesting locations in the Highlands make touring around worthwhile - while the views and vistas on the way are a further bonus. Some attractions reflect the wealth of the area's heritage, from prehistoric cairns to stately homes and castles.
Others are specific natural features, impressive on their own account - for example, the Corrieshalloch Gorge near Ullapool or the Quirang on Skye. Then there are the wildlife attractions, which range from TV close-ups of nesting eagles to wildlife parks and rare breed farms. Whatever your preferences, variety is guaranteed.
Oban is just over 3 hours by train from Glasgow and approx 2.5 hours drive from Glasgow. It is an extremely popular destination as it is a gateway to the Isle of Mull.
Oban is justifiably known as the Gateway to the Isles. The town's south pier is the embarkation point for car ferries to Mull, Coll, Tiree, Barra, South Uist, Colonsay, Lismore and Islay. From these islands you can travel further afield to Iona, Staffa and to many of the smaller less well known isles.
And it doesn't stop there. A short distance from the south pier along the Gallanach Road is the slipway for the Kerrera ferry, and a pleasant drive south allows you to take your car, or bike, over the Atlantic by bridge to the Island of Seil.

Just as advertised. The home is extremely well located and fit our family of 6 adults and 6 children quite comfortably. Could not find anything that would prevent us from coming back.
Dear John, Thank you for writing a review, I am glad you enjoyed your stay at Blaven and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards Helen

"This house is WONDERFUL. No detail overlooked. Great base for Mull and Iona and lots in the area too"
.This is a great house, high on a hill overlooking Oban. The town has terrific restaurants - from the little seafood shack on the dock to Ee'usk for excellent food and service. The house has panoramic views looking out over Mull. Lots to do and see in the area (and the house is well-supplied w/ iniformation about the area). Highly recommend.

BOSS Aims to Make Army Life Easier
April 2, 2007
By Tim Hipps
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Army News Service, April 2, 2007) - Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers program leaders are determined to make Army life easier for everyone - regardless of Soldiers' ages or marital status.
"We are becoming the bridge we have not been in the past few years," said Staff Sgt. Toprane Coatney, a BOSS representative at the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command here. "We have refocused our attention, the same way the Army has, to take care of the single warfighter and all of our warfighters.
The BOSS program's mission is to enhance the morale and welfare of single Soldiers, increase retention and sustain combat readiness through community services, recreation and leisure events, and to identify well-being issues for resolution.
Launched in 1989, BOSS has 82 programs scattered throughout the continental United States, Europe, Korea and the Pacific region.
"We are now looking at how the BOSS program fits when it comes to mission support," Coatney said. "What is the Army's mission and where does BOSS fit into it' We talk about pre-deployment, deployment and re-deployment, and where we fit into that. We look at the mission side and we know they're busy; we know they're focused. We know that the most important thing is for them to train Soldiers to go and fight the war on terror.
"At the same time, we know a low-morale Soldier or a Soldier who is not taken care of will be more susceptible to doing the wrong thing or will not be at his peak," Coatney added. "Our job is to be the bridge and the assistance to the command to take care of those Soldiers when they're preparing to deploy, while they're deployed and when they come back from deployment."
BOSS covers issues that can directly or indirectly influence or enhance morale, living environment, personal growth and development of Soldiers. Issues discussed during BOSS meetings eventually are directed to the appropriate command or staff agency for resolution. Armywide concerns are forwarded to the Army family action plan's biannual conferences for possible resolution by the Department of the Army.
There are seven region program managers and each installation has a BOSS president, an MWR advisor and a command sergeant major to help supervise the program's activities. A vice president, secretary and treasurer also serve on installation BOSS councils.
"The councils' responsibility is to plan and execute recreation and leisure activities relevant to the needs and requirements of single Soldiers on their installations, as well as facilitate community-service activities and look out for the Soldiers' well-being by being a bridge between the Soldier and the installation chain of command," Coatney said.
"We want to get away from the BOSS program being only about barracks," Martin added. "The BOSS program is the vehicle by which any issues brought up by Soldiers are surfaced to the command. We take the issues from the Soldier to the commander to get things done."
BOSS leaders also want to correct the misperception that BOSS exists only for single, lower-enlisted Soldiers.
"That is our focus. That is our target. That is our demographic," Coatney said. "However, we're open to all branches of the military. We're open to married and single Soldiers. We're open to lower enlisted, junior officers, senior noncommissioned officers - we're all inclusive."
In recent years, BOSS has also begun to embrace family members.
Senior Soldiers or dual military families can become "single" or geographical bachelors through deployment or permanent change of station. They benefit greatly from BOSS support.
"Whether providing a party for kids of deployed parents or arranging a way to give spouses a day off so they can have fun, we program for all," said Coatney, who added that most misperceptions about BOSS stem from a lack of understanding.
"If a person wants more information about the BOSS program or wants to get educated about what programs are available locally, I would highly suggest they attend a BOSS meeting or talk to their unit BOSS representative," he said.
The biggest BOSS meeting of the year, the annual BOSS Conference themed "BOSS Strong, Supporting the Mission," is scheduled for April 30 through May 4 at the National Conference Center in Landsdowne, Va.
"We're relevant, no matter where you are in life," Coatney said. "No matter what you've got going on; no matter what your needs or wants are, we're there. We can fit, and we do fit."

Democratic nominee: Al Riley
Making his retirement from the New York State Police official as of Sept. 25, Al Riley, 49, has been named the Democratic candidate to run for Madison County Sheriff. Riley, a lifelong county resident and an 18-year resident of the town of Lebanon, served in the NYS Police Force for 27 years.
Riley was born in the city of Oneida where he grew up with his five sisters and three brothers. He attended schools in Oneida and Canastota and graduated from Canastota High School in 1981. He then entered the academy for the NYS Police in 1982. His service began in canine handing in the town of Morrisville. Since there are very few canine divisions in the state, Riley was transferred to Oneida to provide his services in the city. He also served in the canine unit in the town of Sullivan and Cazenovia.
"I have worked all over the county," Riley said. "I have a good working relationship with everyone I have met in every town and village in the county."
Recognizing Riley's honest and ethical character, town of Lebanon Supervisor Jim Goldstein said the candidate has a unique perspective on law enforcement because he has served throughout the county.
"It's amazing how many people he knows," Goldstein said. "He is well-known and regarded."
Goldstein said that he is not only proud to have a constituent from the town of Lebanon running for county sheriff, but that Riley's nomination is a "historic candidacy," because he brings so much to the table.
"Voters will take a look at the candidate's expertise and experience and decide who will serve the community best," Goldstein said when asked about former Madison County Sheriff Ronald I. Cary's appeal to both the Republican and Democratic parties.
Riley stayed in Cazenovia for some time as it was close to his family. This department was also the newest troopers' station, and it was in need of a canine unit. Training in narcotics, tracking and search and rescue, Riley worked with his German Shepherd Burnie until he was retired. Riley began training another German Shepherd Wheeler in search and rescue, tracking for homicide victims and several areas of explosives.

A [[TheEighties 1980]] [[GenreBusting dystopian, sci-fi, biblical-allegory showbiz disco-rock opera]] about an [[CorruptCorporateExecutive evil, all-powerful media mogul]] and his powerful Boogaloo International Music (BIM) MegaCorp, the [[TheIngenue young starlet]] fallen under his [[CorruptTheCutie corrupting influence]] and the [[AllAmericanFace all-Canadian baby-faced hero]] determined to get her back out of his evil clutches. One of [[Creator/TheCannonGroup Cannon Films]]' first English-language efforts, in trying to [[FollowTheLeader follow the success]] of ''Film/SaturdayNightFever'' and ''Film/{{Grease}}'' its outlandish premise winds up having more in common with ''Literature/BraveNewWorld'', ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'', ''Film/AllThatJazz'' and ''Film/{{Xanadu}}'', with a little ''{{Theatre/Godspell}}'' thrown in hastily at the last minute. It proved a major flop, concurrent with [[DeaderThanDisco the sharp decline of Disco]].
Despite some rather heart-pumping music and dance numbers, the prosaic lyrics, [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs trippy aesthetic]], and off-the-wall script place it squarely in {{Camp}} territory. However, starting with its DVD release in 2004, it began to gather a small but dedicated cult following and started appearing on the midnight movie circuit.
Now available as a Podcast/RiffTrax video on demand download.
!!This film contains examples of:
* AerithAndBob: Subverted with Bibi and Alphie, Alphie being a variation on the perfectly common name Alfie, a derivation of Alfred.
* [[AllAmericanFace All-Canadian Face]] / CanadaEh: Alphie and Bibi, who are revealed to be originally from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
* TheBadGuyWins: A likely unintentional implication of the ending. All the people who've managed to resist Boogalow's control are [[spoiler:raptured away to a new world]], leaving no-one left on Earth to oppose him.
* BigBad: Mr. Boogalow.
* BigGood: Mr. Topps.
* {{Camp}}
* CorruptTheCutie: BIM's efforts to control Bibi.
* DepravedBisexual: Shakes, implicitly Mr. Boogalow as well.
* DeusExMachina: A-near literal example with Mr. Topps, who is not only a seemingly all-powerful MessianicArchetype, but is never mentioned until moments before he arrives to rescue the heroes.
* TheDragon: Shakes.
* EvilBrit: Bibi's bodyguards/captors are the thuggish, Cockney-esque type, right down to being played by British actors.
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: An entire (imagined) musical number takes place there. Compared to the hippy commune of Paradise, it seems quite pleasant.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: Bibi [[spoiler: and later Pandi]].
* IntercourseWithYou: Pandi's "I'm Coming" manages to make "Love To Love You Baby" seem subtle. even without the choreography.
* JewishMother: Alphie's landlady.
* LouisCypher: Mr. Boogalow.
* LyricalShoehorn:
--> [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment "Meet an actual actual actual vampire!"]]
* MarkOfTheBeast: The BIM mark, which is a holographic sticker of the company's logo that Mr. Boogalow mandates all people wear on their face, to the point that violators will be threatened with fines or arrest.
* MegaCorp: BIM. Eventually they become so powerful, the government requires everyone to wear their logo (referred to as "the BIM Mark") and stop all activity to listen to their music for an hour each day.
* MindScrew
* NewAgeRetroHippie
* ProducePelting: A RealLife variation. According to legend, the audience at the premiere were so horrified that they chucked the film's ''merchandise'' at the screen.
* RapePortrayedAsRedemption: [[InvertedTrope Bizarrely inverted]]. [[spoiler: At one of the party scenes Pandi orders two (presumably drugged) drinks for her and Alphie, but he drinks down both of them while she smiles sheepishly. Later she has sex with him while he's under the influence. The next day, she, the possible rapist, is the one who is redeemed, and finally decides to help Bibi escape.]]
* SeriousBusiness: The BIM Hour, where everyone, regardless of whatever they're doing, breaks into choreographed dance numbers.
** Believe it or not, The director Menahem Golan took the failure of the film at an early screening in Montreal so personally that he tried [[DrivenToSuicide throwing himself off of a bridge.]]
* SissyVillain: A huge portion of Shake / Boogalow's inner circle fits one overblown CampGay stereotype or another.
* SlippingAMickey: Happens at least once.
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Made in 1980, set in the future {{dystopia}} of 1994.
* WorldOfHam: Clearly, subtlety was dead by 1994.

Another gem of a barn find: the Rickman Honda CR750
By Greg Williams January/February 2012
Paraphrased from motorcycleclassics.com
Some folks are lucky enough to have an American Pickers moment of their own. In 2008, Keith Lee of La Crosse, Wis., had his. That summer, Keith heard about a barn in eastern Wisconsin filled with junk — the good, dusty mechanical kind of junk we'd all like to find. A friend of his had already been in the barn and rescued a couple of Puchs, and a trio of Ducatis and a couple of Moto Morinis had been unearthed and already sold. But word was there was still another motorcycle lurking in the barn; a never completed 1975 Rickman Honda CR750 kit. Keith was intrigued.
Getting the scoop
Keith knew enough to know the unfinished Rickman was likely a special machine, but he didn't know much about the British manufacturer. Before calling the seller about the kit, Keith conducted some research on Rickman Bros. Ltd.
As he discovered, Rickman Bros. was started by brothers Don and Derek Rickman, whose motorcycle roots go back to the late 1950s when the pair was successful in scrambles-type offroad events. Always looking for a competitive edge, the Rickmans began piecing together their own machines using engines, frames and forks from different British bike makers. As early as 1961, they built their own special, the Metisse, with a Rickman Bros. designed and manufactured frame. The name is French, and roughly translates to mongrel, or anything of mixed ancestry.
Constructed using 531 Reynolds manganese-molybdenum steel tubes, the frames were lightweight yet ruggedly built, and wore a coating of bright nickel plating, the latter becoming a hallmark for the company.
Rickman frames were sold in kits, and in order to complete the machine an owner had to have either a sacrificial motorcycle or an extra engine and plenty of parts. Power plants commonly used in Rickman frames included B.S.A., Matchless and Triumph. Included with the scrambles frame was a fiberglass gas tank, seat base, tail unit and side panels.
Branching out
In the mid-1960s, the Rickmans branched out into the world of road racing, constructing frames for the highly successful AJS 7R and Matchless G50 singles. Finding great success with their competition road frames, the Rickmans turned their attention to the new crop of multi-cylinder Japanese motorcycles appearing on the scene in the early 1970s, including the Honda CB750 and the Kawasaki Z1. To their benefit, Honda and Kawasaki built extremely strong and reliable engines, but truly sport-oriented enthusiasts felt chassis development in the Japanese products was left wanting.
The universal nature of that sentiment was underscored in a July 1974 article in Cycle World magazine, in which the editors said, "Don't sell that monstrous four-banger just because it wiggles like a wounded snake every time you even think about tilting it from a vertical plane. What you need," the editors continued, "is a new chassis to put around that mill. One that isn't designed to be the best for a given price, but one that is designed to be the best. Period."
Enter the Rickmans' chassis kits, which by the mid-1970s had become the hot setup for both street and track when fitted with either Honda or Kawasaki engines. Craig Vetter was the U.S. distributor for Rickman products, and the kits he sold included the bright nickel-plated frame and swingarm sprung with British Girling shock absorbers and fitted with a Borrani 18-inch alloy rim at the rear. A Spanish Betor fork anchored another 18-inch Borrani rim up front, and both were shod in Dunlop TT100 tires. British Lockheed disc brakes were included in the package, but what really set the Rickman apart was its brilliant orange, 4.2-gallon fiberglass gas tank, seat and tail section, fairing and front fender. In a word, gorgeous.
Putting all this to use, however, required a donor motorcycle. In the case of the CB750, the machine yielded its engine, complete with carburetors and exhaust, handlebar controls, speedometer, tachometer, side covers, and side and center stands. About the only thing you didn't need off your old Honda was its flexy frame.
After doing his due diligence, Keith realized the Rickman CR750 he'd found, one of an estimated 300 built, with an unknown number of those coming to the U.S., was indeed a special machine. Although he'd yet to actually see the bike, Keith called and talked to the owner — who wasn't really sure he wanted to sell it — for more than an hour to get a description of the Rickman Honda. Keith persisted, and in the parlance of the American Pickers, he verbally "pulled the trigger" on the deal...

Honda SuperHawk
What a fantastic cafe racer this is! Hard to know where the old Honda SuperHawk ends and the cafe conversion begins. The paint work is exquisite, the cafe seat and tailpiece perfectly complimentary, and all that chrome and polished steel combine to make this little Honda an absolute eye-catcher!
1975 Honda XL350
Love to take this super-light little Honda 350 cafe racer on the track to wind it out. It certainely looks the business. In fact, other than the classic eye-friendly paint scheme, road-going lighting and plate holder, it looks ALL business!
Honda CB450 Cafe racer
Found this little gem on BIKEEFIX.com, a great spot for unusual and nicely described motorbikes, among many other things. Says BIKEEFIX...
"Honda's CB450 never quite met its sales expectations, despite being one of the few 1960s motorcycles to hit the magic 100bhp/liter mark. Honda claimed it was a 450 with the power of a 650—and yes, it was a technological step forward from the British twins of the time. Buyers got greater reliability, an electric starter and more advanced engineering inside the DOHC parallel twin, which included unusual torsion valve springs.
This elegant CB450 is a 1969 model that was rebuilt as a cafe racer by Shaun Stewart of Slingshot Cycles, [oops, the website has now crashed] a Virginia-based outfit that specializes in manufacturing brake hoses for classic motorcycles. The rear seat is actually part of a Yamaha XS650 fuel tank, while the front end is a hybrid mix of CB550/CB750F components strengthened by a homemade fork brace.
The stainless steel exhaust system is also homemade, and the headlight bucket has a built in tachometer. Shaun likes to customize a couple of bikes a year as a sideline, and he's done a great job with his cafe racer: it's the perfect machine for blasting around the Appalachian mountains and Shenandoah Valley."
Honda Evo concept
Is this what you'd like to see Honda bring to the showroom? A GoldWing engined cafe brute, it's something of an oddity but judging from some of the GoldWing based power cruiser/streetfighters we've seen, it would certainely add some spice to Hondas' lineup. Probably never happen, owing to the current economic drop-off, but we can dream, or you master builders out there can use it as inspiration!
Very classy Honda CB160
What a beauty! Everything looks perfect and right out of the box factory custom. But you can bet Honda never made such eye candy at the factory. Some evil genius has put together this CB160 with taste and skill that renders this bike a work of art.
I'll bet she sounds as sweet as she looks with that open pipe too.
Scott Biscotti from Milwaukee, the builder of this bike has contacted me and sent these details:
"The bike was a marriage of 2 seperate cbs I purchased off eBAY. One was a enduro and the other an actual early AHRMA racer. Im a huge fan of Nortons and love the look of the featherbed Manx but couldn't afford one.
So, I thought it would be cool to make a smaller cheaper version, aka the mini Manx. I approached it as a typical restoration by completely dismantling both bikes and using the best parts.
I purchased Akront rims and painted the hubs black krinklecoat. I also had stainless spokes and the rear wheel built to suit a wider tire in the back. The engine was basically stock. The AHRMA motor was toast.
Now for the best part. The tank was an idea I had to use 2 stock cb160 tanks and have one cross sectioned and add 6" to it to create that classic CR look the early Honda factory bikes had. My close friend Jeff Stephens did all the welding and custom work on the tank. You can check out some of his stuff on the MilVinMoto website under the name Godffrey's Garage. He does amazing detailed work and is a superb craftsman. He also incorporated the tank to be attached to the mounts the original tanks used.
I wish I would have taken close up photos of that but it was years ago. The seat was from the racer but it was too wide almost as though it was made for a larger racebike. So I had to split it down the middle and customize it to fit just over the frame tubes.
The paint scheme was something I thought up out of respect for the old racers. The old racebikes sometimes used other parts if needed after crashes and sometimes had to improvise by using different colored bodywork. And if you wonder how it sounded, it was ear-piercingly loud!
Unfortunately it didn't have the horsepower to back up the look and sound. I think I used the enduro sprocket by accident so it only would top out at about 60mph. I didn't really need 1st gear. As soon as the clutch opened it had to be shifted into 2nd right away. Performance wise I would rate it as a glorified moped. but like I said, I had limited funds at the time and couldnt get the things done that I would have liked, like porting the heads etc...
It only cost me about $1000 American to build this and only because of Jeffs' friendship. He told me if I had been some stranger who wanted the tank done like that, he would have charged at least $800. He only charged me $200.
After riding it around Milwaukee one season I ended up selling it on eBay to some guy down south. I totally regret selling it but I used the money from the sale to buy a wideline featherbed frame which now is a current project of mine."
Supercharged Honda GoldWing cafe
Found this incredible supercharged Honda GoldWing cafe racer on the very entertaining Naked GoldWings website. It was built by the obviously talented and inspired designers/mechanics at Randakks' Cycle Shakk and is featured as the November,2010 Bike of the Month and no wonder!
If your into this stuff you should check them out. There's much more detail and photos on this red rocket available there.
