Product Description
Follow the re-election of President Bartlet to his second term and witness the gripping personal crisis that forces him to chose between the best interests of the country and those of his family. Compelling and clever storylines reveal the inner workings of the White House in this innovative, multiple Emmy-Award-winning drama series from producers John Wells ("ER," "China Beach"), Aaron Sorkin ("Sports Night") and Thomas Schlamme ("Sports Night"). The West Wing's fourth season received 15 Emmy nominations and 2 wins including, Best Drama Series and Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.]]>
Lowe's Sam Seaborn picks a new fate at the spur of the moment and is eventually replaced by the very person whose verve he was swept up by--a harried, vastly intelligent campaign manager, Will Bailey (Josh Malina, best known for his work in creator Aaron Sorkin's previous show, Sports Night). He's an excellent fit for the West Wing, both fictionally and for the series. Part of the show's success belongs to the continuity, helped immensely by high-caliber guest stars continuing long runs on the show, including Mary-Louise Parker, John Amos, Marlee Matlin, Tim Matheson, Timothy Busfield, Lily Tomlin, Anna Deavere Smith, and Ron Silver (hey, that's a pretty good cast for their own show). One-time guest stars are also used to the fullest. Notice how a single-episoe appearance by Christian Slater (as a naval attaché who strikes Donna's fancy) turns into a three-episode arc. Matthew Perry delivers an Emmy-nominated performance in a key role in the season's final arc. This fourth season was capped by the departure of creator-writer Sorkin and producer-director Thomas Schlamme, plus another Emmy win for Best Drama, its fourth straight. Many were surprised or even angered that the series kept up the winning streak. Perhaps the series was not as relevant to the times as four years earlier, but the proof is in the pudding--the series was still in rarefied air by the end of this season.
Luckily, Sorkin and Schlamme were invited to air the commentaries for the DVDs, here on three episodes. It allows them to talk about their departure, a subject barely mentioned in the two making-of featurettes. One deals with speechwriters and other with Stockard Channing's role on the show. Note: the documentaries and deleted scenes are hard to find. Look for the pointer (>) at the bottom right of the special features menu of the sixth disc. --Doug Thomas

Epson R880 media handling problems?
Apr 1, 2012
I am in the market for an Epson printer and between the R3000 and the R2880. I can get a used R2880 printer for a reasonable price but I read that this printer has media handling problems.. I want to use this printer with Hahnemuhle photo rag 310 gsm fine art paper. Will this be a problem with the R2880?

Jane Bowron
I confess to having a trannie, as in radio, next to the bed. Rather than switch on the squint-making light to find out the time, I tune into the wireless to discover the hour.
OPINION: For the past few years I've been in the habit of waking at four in the morning to cop the interminable long range forecast on Radio New Zealand National and wonder where or what Puysegur was and is.
If you're interested Puysegur is a 6300-metre trench in the south Tasman Sea formed by the Indo-Australian plate, and by the time radio announcer, Lloyd Scott, in his long-winded inimitable style gets to Puysegur, I am usually well on the way back to the elusive land of Nod.
I did this on Saturday morning and woke up again a while later, horrified to hear the early morning news and learn that the British nurse, Jacintha Saldanha, who worked at London's King Edward VII Hospital and had taken the infamous hoax call made by two Australian DJs pretending to be the Queen and Prince Charles, had been found dead and there were no suspicious circumstances.
"That's awful, awful, awful," I groaned, rolling out of bed to switch on the television and see how the BBC were reporting it, as they waited for Australia to wake up and give a reaction.
Throughout the day I kept encountering the same conversation from outraged people fuming and blaming "the media" for the nurse's death.
Sorry, I said, but DJs, shock jocks and hosts of radio stations are not "the media". If they were, in line with the journalistic code of ethics (yes, there is one), they would have to identify themselves, provide their name and organisation, and state, if it wasn't obvious, that the phone conversation was being taped.
None of that happened as the DJs, as they are in the habit of doing, were staging a childish prank, and listening to that prank, appeared to be stunned that their appalling accents had got them through to the duchess' ward where they were given private information about her by another nurse.
Listening to the tape it sounded as if English was not the first language of Saldanha, which was maybe the reason why she was so taken in by the ruse, and so ashamed of being derelict in her goal-keeping duty that she, apparently, took the extreme measure of taking her own life.
What she was doing answering a phone that should have been answered by the switchboard is another question, but I suspect, like most work places these days, workers are mucking in and doing more than they signed on for.
Having a royal at the hospital meant, one would expect, in an era hidebound and rampant with public relations, that it was incumbent on both the hospital and the firm (royalty) to have a system in place so that an incident like this didn't happen.
The only crime the nurse seemed to have been guilty of was trying to be helpful, and according to the hospital and the royals, she was not castigated for her mistake.
Was I the only one who was worrying about the DJs and hoping that a suicidal chain reaction wasn't going to take place from that quarter, as the lynch mob climbed online and tore them to shreds?
For those who bear them ill will, this is a large blight on their careers and will cast a long shadow on their lives, which is a punishment that doesn't really fit the crime.
One news bulletin even tried to rope poor old Prince Charles into the narrative, repeating a conversation he'd had with media about his delight at being a grandfather in his dotage, and joking, added a codicil that he was the real deal rather than an imposter.
The whole thing kept getting more and more hallucinatory as the airwaves trilled with venom, the blame game well and truly in play.
And what is Kate to make of all this? There she is, the beatific expectant mother, apart from terrible morning sickness, the veritable picture of happiness providing a good news story for the tragic royals, not to mention a sad world when suddenly all this wretched noise is circulating and spiralling out of control around her, which has absolutely nothing to do with her.
The young duchess has well and truly learnt in a very harsh way what it is to be a royal and the terrible price to pay that comes with the job.
It's all so unnecessary, so deeply unfair, but the incident and its reaction will eventually wear itself out - hopefully.

THE WORST HOTEL IVE STAYED ATPosted Apr 6, 2016 on Hotels
And I'm a flight attendant, so I've seen my fair share of hotels that could use some fixing up. But this wasn't just a fixer upper. This place needs to be torn down. Black mold all over the ceiling in the bathroom, unsafe room, they said there was free breakfast, but there wasn't, however after seeing cockroaches, no thanks. Long hairs in toilet, no hot water in shower, bed was absolutely horrendous. Magnetic key card swiper didn't work. Will never ever ever stay there again in my life. Absolutely disgusted. Would've left, but I had no other choice, as I had to be at a very important medical appointment early in the morning, and didn't have much money or time, as I got there late in the evening from driving all day.

Shhhh, I've come to see Pocket
Posted 9:20 AM on Wed-3-Aug-2011
Would I be a bad person if I said there was a child I didn't like? Don't get me wrong, of course all kids are lovely, our future, blah blah, yadda yadda, but there is this one kid at Pocket's daycare who I am becoming more and more anti as the weeks roll by.
The little child in question is a good friend of Pocket, but I think they are lacking attention at home. The mother is a career woman, and at face glance is fairly self centered, up with the in crowd, money to burn, talks to you if none of her friends are looking, but snobs you if anyone can see her talking to you.
Now, I don't for a second hold this against the girl, but the problem is, this lack of attention quite clearly being given at home, makes for a very needed child. I'm not sure if it's because I am Pocket's Mum or if she does this to every parent who arrives to collect their child from daycare, but man alive, talk about get swamped! Pocket is busy trying to tell me all about something she's done and here's this other kid butting in, vying for my attention too. If it was only once in a while, it wouldn't be so bad, but every day, it is starting to do my head in. I don't want to dislike her, but come on child, tug on your own mothers leg, it's lovely to see you, but I couldn't give a rats about your scribbly painting, I want to see Pockets artwork!
Maybe I should take it as a compliment that I'm a lovely Mum that some other kid wishes was picking them up. Or maybe it's just because I have given her the time of day in a way that her Mum does not.
A good friend of mine lives in the same street as this family, and while I'm all for everyone parenting in their own way, would you let your three year old cross the road to play over at someone's house for over an hour before you so much as even popped you head out to see what they were up to? Would you just assume that it was ok to let your child play without talking with the parent in question first? My friend has even arrived home to find this little girl playing in her togs on the (my friends) front lawn in the sprinkler! Mother to be seen through bedroom window, sitting on the bed with back facing outwards yapping on the phone.
I guess when I sum it up, I was right to think that this girl is a bit starved of attention, and it's probably a good thing that she's at daycare at least interacting with other kids and teachers who give her the time of day, because by many accounts from my friend, she may well live in a lovely street, and have parents with money who clothe her in the latest gear, but it doesn't seem like she gets much given in the way of attention.

haven't mentioned anything to daycare. This particular child gets picked up later in the day. Who am I to judge right, but we all have little gripes from time to time!
- 11:34 AM on Wed-3-Aug-2011
my daughter can be like that, she loves to talk to everyone and show off all her art and toys etc etc and she is constantly asking questions and its not for lack of attention, she gets lots of one to one time reading, playing games etc she just absolutely realishes lots of attention from everyone and because i'm a quiet and shy person i do tend to avoid putting us in situations where there is lots of people around for my own comfort.

Have you talked to the preschool teachers about this? At our preschool it's always chaos at pickup time, but if the teachers were made aware of this situation, perhaps they would be able to stay more tuned-in to this child's needs, and help to redirect her until her own mum arrives.
We had a kind of similar situation with our older boy a few years ago, where his "best friend" at preschool was a very angry, loud, negative child. Who, of course, glommed on to our sweet, polite, shy (and somewhat passive) little guy. Talk about opposites! I was hopeful that our son might rub off on the grumpy boy, but unfortunately just the opposite happened, and soon our son was roaring at us (or spitting or lashing out) whenever he didn't immediately get his own way. I was friendly with the other mum, and I approached her to see if we could both change our boys session times so they would have time apart during the week, but her schedule wasn't flexible that way. In the end, I changed my boys' sessions for a term but it wasn't enough and they clung to each other even more when they saw one another. We reluctantly made the decision to change to another preschool, even though I was on the committee at the old preschool! It worked a treat though, and both boys have gone on to form new and far more beneficial friendships.
Does it make me incredibly overprotective, that he was only 4 and I was already going to such lengths to keep negative influences at bay???

Interest on new undergraduate student loans will double on Monday
Susan Walsh, AP
SALT LAKE CITY — As it stands now, undergraduates who apply for student loans beginning Monday will have to pay twice as much interest than at least half of Utah's undergraduate students are currently paying.
Interest rates are set to increase Monday to 6.8 percent for all student loan borrowers after the U.S. Senate failed to come to an agreement on the interest rates before heading into a holiday recess.
Currently, 52 percent of undergraduate student loan borrowers at Utah schools — a total of about 84,000 students — qualify for an interest rate of 3.4 percent on federally subsidized student loans, according to David Feitz, executive director of the Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority. But the federal lawmakers' inability to make a decision about whether to continue the discounted interest rates means all new loans issued after July 1 will come with a 6.8 percent interest rate.
Feitz said this change will not affect existing student loans or the students across the country who already pay a rate of 6.8 percent, including all graduate students and undergraduate students with unsubsidized loans or who didn't qualify for the lower rate under financial need standards as set by Congress.
He estimated that one-third of undergraduate students nationally qualified for the lower interest rate.
"The majority of students are already paying the 6.8 percent rate because the 3.4 percent rate applies only to undergraduate students who have financial need," Feitz said. "So it applies to a more narrow population, but it so happens that that population is made up of the most needy students."
He said the difference between the interest rate amounts on a $5,500 loan would only mean an increase of about $9 each month, but would be much more over the life of the loan. At 3.4 percent, interest would add up to $996 over 10 years, but at 6.8 percent, that number jumps to $2,096.
"The life of the loan interest cost is significantly more, but when money is tight and you have a lot of expenses to get established in your career, even $9 can make a lot of difference," Feitz said. "Keeping (interest rates) low are in the best interest of the students."
A report from the Joint Economic Committee showed that student debt rose from $550 billion in late 2007 to about $1 trillion in the first quarter this year. The same report said that without congressional action, the higher Stafford loan interest rates would add $4,500 to the cost of a four-year college degree.
In his 2014 budget proposal for the Department of Education, President Barack Obama proposed restructuring student loan interest rates, linking them to the 10-year Treasury rate with differing surcharges for subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans and PLUS graduate loans.
In May, the House passed legislation along party lines to do the same, though with slightly higher surcharges but an overall cap of 8.5 percent to protect student borrowers in the event of significant rate increases. Another key difference was that Obama's plan would lock in the initial rate for the life of the loan, while the House plan would have rates reset each year.
The Senate this month considered a plan from Senate Republicans that also used a market-based solution, as well as a Democratic plan to extend current rates for one year.
Neither plan achieved the 60-vote threshold to defeat a filibuster. Thursday, Democrats said they would call the one-year extension plan to a vote once again July 10, after the rates have doubled.
Feitz said tying the student loan rate to a market rate is the most fair approach.
"The market mirrors the interest rate in the general economy instead of an artificial rate set by Congress," he said.

Or you can buy a ready-to-use parking sensor for $15. (Or hang a tennis ball from the ceiling.)
Much like crafting in Guild Wars 2, you don't do it to save money but for the experience (points).
You have probably heard the word "Arduino" before, but you might not know what it means. The simple answer is that an Arduino is a small circuit board that costs about $20 - $30 and can be used to add interactivity to projects.
Say for instance, you'd like to create a gadget that warns you when your car gets too close to the back wall when you are driving it into the garage. You can attach a $10 proximity sensor, a $1 buzzer, and a $.01 LED to the Arduino and mount it to the back wall of the garage. Next, write a small program that tells the buzzer and LED to activate when the sensor detects that the car is getting too close to the wall.
Arduinos are easy to program -- in fact they were made for artists and designers, not engineers (although plenty of engineers use and love Arduino).
In this short video MAKE magazine's Matt Richardson provides an excellent introduction to the Arduino and shows a number of cool things you can do with it.
If you have kids that show an interest in making things, I highly recommend that you buy an Arduino and the book, Getting Started with Arduino, by Arduino co-foudner Massimo Banzi.
This video shows how to turn hard boiled eggs into cute animals with plastic molds, and what I'm guess is soy sauce. Amazon sells the pair for $2, including shipping.

To me the Arduino kits really have replaced the old Radio Shack 200-in-1 electronic project kits. You can easily follow along and build a working project without much worries of failing. But I think they have some of the similar problems the old electronic kits had, lack of in depth knowledge. They give great exposure and do teach people things, but at a certain point you either have to bury down and learn the real ends and outs of electronics (and depending how far you want to go the math and theory behind it all), or you can just stay content with building projects. And in reality that is a fairly big step that can be frustrating at times.
So, if I attach an shoulder mounted death ray and a stress monitor, I can create something that will automatically destroy all who displease me?
Next step, building a shoulder mounted death ray.
and interestingly… i found a stack full of arduino boards, shields & random sensors and bits at the local radio shack. and while i think you should DEFINITELY support the MAKE shop, having an assortment down at the shack makes it a little easier for me to tell my mom what to get for my child. also… there's just something really cool about going into a retail location, asking "can you help me find the surface mount accelerometers?" and having them not give you a dumb look.
Yeah, but even in my local Radio Shacks in Cambridge, near MIT etc, they'll mostly just shrug and point you to the chest of electronic parts in the back corner, and when you finally come back with your 25¢ diode they'll ask you if you want to upgrade your phone plan.
I'm not saying that it's useless to shop at Radio shack for parts, but unless you're in a very special shop, don't expect the employees to have any clue what you're talking about.

Frankie Ford
Francis Guzzo, 4 August 1939, Gretna, Louisiana, USA. A rocker from a suburb of New Orleans, Frankie Ford is second cousin to that other New Orleans legend Dr. John. His first major appearance was on Ted Macks Amateur Hour Talent Show, where he sang with Carmen Miranda and Sophie Tucker. After winning a scholarship to South Eastern College, Hammond, he started his first band with school friends. By 1958 he was singing with the Syncopators, when he was asked to audition for Ace Records. Subsequently, he released his first single, Cheatin Woman, as Frankie Ford. Fellow musician Huey Piano Smith (b. 26 January 1934, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA) had previously recorded with his group the Clowns a self-penned song called Sea Cruise, but Ace persuaded him to let Ford record a new vocal over Bobby Marchams original. They also added a few extra effects such as paddle-steamer whistle blows, which altered the song enough...

Ok - I'm second (third and fourth) guessing my reservations at Bellagio. We have a Lakeview room reserved for 2 nights (May31st-June2nd). We seriously considered upgrading to a Bellagio suite mostly because of the description of the bathrooms which sound AMAZING. But we can't convince ourselves to spend that much extra ... especially with an extra charge to make it a Lakeview Bellagio suite. Sooooo ... now we are wondering if a suite at TI or Mirage would be a better choice than the regular Lakeview room at the Bellagio???? I know I know ... I'm overthinking this (and making DH crazy) ... but I'd still love fodorite input!

Bellagio Lakeview or TI or Mirage Suite
Report Abuse
Actually, what you are deciding on is how much more do you want to spend on a bathroom, not a room
The bathrooms in the Bellagio are great, in the ordinary rooms with a Lakeview. How much time do you think you might spend in that bathroom to make it worthwhile to you?
I like showers in the am and a long soak at night in the tub, they have both and I was always content with that.
I would save the extra money and spend it shopping, gambling, eating or on a show.
I also have the snobbish thoughts that a regular room at the Bellagio is better than a suite at the TI or Mirage..but that is just me~
Report Abuse
I've only stayed in a Mirage suite and not at TI or Bellagio but can give you my impression of Mirage. I guess I call myself a bathroom snob since I love my bathroom at home and find it hard to compare when at other places. Well, the Mirage suite's bathroom beats mine. It's actually three rooms, separated from the bedroom by french doors. The main bathroom has a jacuzzi tub and all the fun 'stuff' that goes with it, including bath salts. Separate glassed-in shower. Vanity with double sinks, lighted makeup mirror, vanity stool, etc. Marble marble everywhere. Go down the bathroom 'hallway' and you'll come upon a walk-in closet. Keep going and you reach the bidet/toilet room that's probably the size of most regular bathrooms. At the end of the hallway is a dressing area with a beautiful armoire and floor to ceiling mirrors. The only thing that would have completed the bathroom would have been a tv but other than that, I'd give it a solid 'A.'
Report Abuse
I would definately keep your reservations at the Bellagio. If you are considering upgrading to a suite, wait until you arrive. There are many times when you can get a reduced rate when upgrading at check in, just ask what the fee would be. No matter what you decide, a lakeview room at the Bellagio is still a fantastic room.
Report Abuse
Be sure you're comparing apples to apples when you're talking about Mirage suites. I've stayed in the Penthouse Suite, which is what Tess seems to be describing, and it is ideed a very nice room (rooms, actually). The bathroom is almost as big as a Bellagio Penthouse Suite bathroom. The thing I like best about Bellagio's baths is the large marble steam shower (not available at TI or Mirage to my knowledge).
A petite suite at Mirage has an average size bathroom, and would not be a worthwhile trade vs. Bellagio IMO.
Since I don't mind spending extra $$$ on a great room, I'm not a good person to ask about what YOU should do. (I'd take the Bellagio suite).
Could you get a Salone Suite (not quite as large, but still very nice)?
Report Abuse
I've stayed at TI recently and booked a Tower Suite over looking the strip & Siren show. The bathrooms, there are two of them, were fantastic! I know this isn't a 5 star hotel but it's very very nice. The "female" bathroom was HUGE! it had a full walk-in closet, vanity table with chair and magnifing mirror, huge jacuzzi tub, and large area sink. The "mens" bathroom had a shower, closet, and larger sink. We both got so spoiled by this, TI isn't as luxurious as Bellagio but it sure was nice and we got a suite that was more than enough room (over 900 sqft) for $159 per nite. I am also a bathroom person and was so impressed with this room. You won't be disappointed at all if you stay in a 2-bathroom suite.
Report Abuse
Thanks for all the responses! I'm still thinking it over. Bellagio Suite is first choice (would love to try the steam shower) but I would need to wait until check in and see if we could upgrade for less so ... its take a chance on not being able to do that OR book a suite at Mirage or TI now ... price for even the nicest 1 bedrooom suite at either is less than the price of the Bellagio suite so I could book that now. hmmmmmmm
Has anyone stayed in both TI and Mirage suites and can compare?
Report Abuse
Topping to see if anyone else has comments. I am leaning heavily toward booking a TI or Mirage suite at this point rather than taking a chance on an upgrade at Bellagio so if anyone has stayed at or seen the Mirage suites AND the TI suites that would really help. If you do comment and you know the name of the suite you are refering to (tower or penthouse or whatever) that would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hi there
My husband and I are traveling to Las Vegas in September and we are also considering Bellagio rooms and suits. On their website they list the following rooms:
Partial Lake View Deluxe
Tower Deluxe King
Salone Lakeview Suite
Bellagio Lakeview Suite
I don't see a lake view standard room listed, am I missing something or is it the Partial Lakeview Room you are referring to?
Report Abuse
Bellagio is not about the "Lakeview" - but rather watching the incredible fountains do their magic at night - and listenoing to the great music, etc.
Staying at the Bellagio is a huge upgrade over the Mirage (which is nice) and even moreso over TI - which is middle of the road. No comparison as to these hotels/resorts, and the bathrooms in the Bellagio were the first bathroom upgrades along the strip (Steve Wynn was always pushing the envelope) - and are very nice in the "standard" room. If you want steam - go to their great spa.

As you gain more and more followers on Twitter you'll might start to think if you should follow them all back. If you are a celebrity, you don't think about it for a sec. Nor if you have a huge ego and believe you are the center of the world. Otherwise, the thought may cross your mind.
Following back is considered as the norm and the polite thing to do amongst some Twitter users. Many of them have also noticed it's a great way to get more followers. It is. Often (non-celebrity) Twitter users have many followers mainly because they follow everyone, except perhaps the obvious spam accounts, back. It's a way to go, if it feels right to you.
The main advantage of following everyone back is gaining more followers, possible ReTweets and mentions. Because Twitter users are mostly pretty narcissistic, gaining more followers by following others may be a big thing for some. Yes I had to check how to write the word narcissistic from a dictionary.
If you decide to follow everyone back, be sure to check if they are a spam account or not. Following a spam account will make you seem like an idiot, but it will also enhance to possibility your account or computer will get a virus of some sort. So, be careful with it.
Now this is what I do. So my opinion may be, should I say, biased. Anyways, there are disadvantages of following all and everyone back.
The reason why I don't follow everyone back right away is because I like to keep my Twitter stream manageable. For instance, before I go to sleep I check the latest Tweets and sometime when I'm up again I skim through all the Tweets that happened during my sleep. If I'd go with the following everyone back bandwagon, I wouldn't be able to do this.
Basically following everyone back means you will eventually follow so many people you won't in any way be able to keep up with even close to everything they Tweet. You WILL end up with a loud and messy Twitter stream and miss lots of good stuff.

Saadessasi enemmän ja enemmän seuraajia (follower) Twitterissä, saattaa mieleesi tulla kysymys siitä pitäisikö sinun seurata kaikkia takaisin. Takaisin seuraaminen (saattaa olla yhdys sana) on eräs keino saada lisää seuraajia ja sitä pidetään joissakin piireissä myös kohteliaana normina. Suurin hyöty siitä, että seuraa kaikkia takaisin on juuri satojen, jollei tuhansien seuraajien saaminen sekä ReTweettien ja mainintojen (mentions) määrän lisääntyminen. Jos tämä kuulostaa hyvältä, muista kuitenkin varoa spämmitilejä. Niiden seuraaminen voi altistaa tilisi ja koneesi erilaisille haittaohjelmille. Toisaalta kaikkien seuraaminen aiheuttaa myös sen, että Twitter virran hallitseminen ja viestien todellinen seuraaminen muuttuu mahdottomaksi. Seuratessasi kaikkia jää sinulta huomaamatta monia hyviä juttuja.

Ben Quayle Picks Up Endorsement From Indiana Congressman Mike Pence
Congressional candidate Ben Quayle
James King
Ben Quayle, son of former Vice President Dan Quayle, and Congressional candidate for the House seat getting vacated by Congressman John Shadegg, picked up the endorsement of Indiana Congressman Mike Pence, the campaign announced last night.
Quayle is one of nearly 10 Congressional hopefuls in a crowded field of GOPers seeking the seat, but according to the latest polls, he is in a three-way, statistical dead heat with Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker and former state Senator Jim Waring.
"I am excited to support Ben's candidacy for the Third Congressional District of Arizona. He is clearly a conservative who can lead the next generation in Washington," Pence says of Quayle.
We're not sure what's so clear -- Quayle has never held elected office and said a few weeks ago that the reason he stands out from the other candidates is because his last name provides him with a "bigger microphone."

Back in the Hoosier State, Pence was considering running against Senator Evan Bayh for the U.S. Senate. Despite leading Bayh by three points in the polls, Pence declined to run, citing his role in the Republican leadership as his reason to stay in the House.
Pence is also on a long list of possible 2012 presidential candidates.
It's a kind of so-what endorsement, since the well-heeled Quayle family hails from Indiana, where daddy Dan was a U.S. senator before becoming fice president under the first George Bush. Pence and the Quayles, no doubt, travel in the same circles.
Pence will be stumping for Quayle in Phoenix this afternoon. For more information click here.

Fiza strikes back: Chand trapped, used, dumped me

Less than a week after her second husband Chand Mohammad abandoned her dramatically, 37-year-old Fiza on Monday launched a no-holds-barred attack on the former deputy CM of Haryana, accusing him of betraying, ditching, using and intimidating her.
Fiza's outburst came a day after the 43-year-old Chand told the electronic media in Gurgaon where he is believed to be staying since he left Fiza five days ago that he still loved his first wife Seema and children, with whom he wanted to reunite. Denying the possibility of returning to Fiza, Chand had termed her as "badhiya cheez (good thing)". It was enough for Fiza to "expose" Chand, who like her had converted to Islam and got married two months ago.
"Am I a vegetable, cold drink or lassi that he said so?" an angry Fiza said, reacting to Chand's "badhiya cheez" comment at a crowded press conference at her flat.
"He trapped me through constant SMSes, which he used to send me since 2006," Fiza said. The messages, which she read out from a mobile phone, pertained to Chand a.k.a. Chander Mohan expressing love for Anuradha (Fiza's name before she converted), hatred for his family and proposing marriage.
"When I avoided talking to him ..., he threatened to kill himself if I did not marry him," Fiza claimed, adding that this made her relent. "It was not me but he, who was after me for all these three years."
"Today, I don't know what I am. Also, I don't know whether he is still Chand Mohammad or Chander Mohan," Fiza said. She said as soon as she comes to know of Chand's actual status, she will act against him. But the former Haryana Assistant Advocate General did not specify what legal action she would take. "All options remain open."

A look at Trunk Animation's widely-praised Buckingham Palace projections
Forced to follow the Diamond Jubilee concert on Twitter (because of a competitive quiz-based game during an otherwise lovely Bank Holiday barbecue) it was striking that along with the flag-waving patriotism, snide cynicism and unceasing efforts of people trying to be funny, there was a lot of admiration for the animations projected onto Buckingham Palace during Madness' short set. The work of London-based studio Trunk Animation, they used the grandiose canvas to full effect and brought an interesting visual element to a show not short of big set-pieces. On such a big stage in front of such a huge worldwide audience it would be churlish to complain that the animation wasn't hugely groundbreaking, this was crowd-pleasing at its very best,
