Aspen, Colo. (AP) A group of restaurants is planning to sue the estate of the man who killed himself after leaving homemade bombs around Aspen on New Year's Eve.
They hope to recoup the losses they suffered when the bomb scare brought celebrations to a halt.
Ten restaurants have retained the Aspen law firm of Garfield & Hecht, which plans to file suit this week against the estate of 72-year-old James Chester Blanning.
Blanning shot himself in his car a few hours after leaving two gift-wrapped, gasoline bombs at two banks and two more bombs in an alley. In notes left at two banks, Blanning demanded $60,000.
New Year's festivities were canceled across the mountain resort as police cleared downtown to find the bombs. No one was injured, and the bombs did not explode.

This is quite unisex to begin with. It may not be listed in the notes or on the box but there appears to be vetiver up front. It's very fresh,smooth and creamy and warms into vanilla/sandalwood. It gets more feminine as it goes along, but still a unisex overall I think. Reminds me of Ghost Serenity at times, and an Avon one whose name escapes me.
I was tempted to buy this blind after reading these reviews. Wow. . . a very boyish scent in my view. Reminds me of the old Avon aftershaves I'm afraid! Of course it all depends on your skin. Have put it on Ebay.
After a long hiatus from reviews I have found the scent to break my silence. After the Rain is evocative of a deep forest of wet mossy trees and florals. It is a fresh and beautiful composition.
I could write a sonnet about the essential oils of lime and mandarin, sensual musk and precious woods but my honest recommendation is that you simply take a chance and buy it.
As a great fan of nearly all AA fragrances,I was surprised that Am Byth made by AA for Clogau (the Welsh gold company) is not listed.
Any fan of After the Rain would love it,I managed to find a couple of bottles on Ebay.Well worth seeking out.
Gorgeous Creation from Arran Aromatics in Scotland!
The scent is a well acomplished symphony of citrus, woods and long lasting musk.
Suitable for all year round wearing and with good longevity and sillage.
Excellent complementary bathing and pampering products; the candle is also to die for...
Double Thumbs up!
I can't believe this is a scent meant only for ladies! I found that out AFTER I bought a small bottle during my trip to Edinburgh. At the very least, it should be unisex.
But after asking around with colleagues, it seems I'm the only one who found this a masculine scent ... Oh well :) At least the other Fragrantica reviewers thought so as well!
It's a nice floral perfume that smells fresh and clean due to the added citrus. I'm having a really hard time telling the different notes apart, but what I THINK I'm smelling the most is the florals and the precious woods. And because it smells fresh and clean I obviously get the citruses as well, but they don't dominate the perfume.
I agree with Kaleide that Rianna's review describes this scent perfectly. However, I do find it has an aftershave-y vibe ... but in a good way!
Rianna's review describes this scent perfectly. Smells fresh and clean like shower gel, not like flowers. Wasn't very impressed until the drydown, which is lovely and slightly masculine.
I love this smell. It's really unique and clean. I don't always want to smell too sweet and flowery and this is just the perfume you should have in your collection to make the difference. When you want to smell fresh and clean without an overwhelming waft of flowers this is the one. I don't think it smells like aftershave, it's light and refreshing, as it says 'After the Rain', it smells fresh, attractive, clean, and when you wear it people will ask "What have you got on" It's different in a nice way. I love it and am always buying a new bottle when the old one runs out because I miss it. My boyfriend loves it too and always asks what I'm wearing because it smells so nice. I love Arran Aromatics they're soooo underrated. It would be great to see them in the bigger department stores because their scents would really sell.
Juniper, lavandin and probably cardamom is missing from the notes - and juniper is the note that makes this unwearable for me, as it smells like a man's cologne on me. I read some raving reviews about this, but was so disappointed when it arrived. NOT a feminine scent, at least not on me.

Wall Street and the Fed flying blind, and worried
Published: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 5:17 p.m.
On the first Friday morning of almost any other month, from the trading floors of Wall Street to the hushed hallways of the Federal Reserve, all the attention would be focused on two numbers: the latest government estimates for unemployment and job creation.
Note that government reports might not occur, due to the
Federal Reserve releases consumer credit data for August, 3 p.m.
Federal Reserve releases minutes from its September interest-rate
Labor Department releases weekly jobless claims, 8:30 a.m.; Freddie
Mac releases weekly mortgage rates, 10 a.m.; Treasury releases federal
budget for fiscal year 2012, 2 p.m.
Last Friday, much of the government was closed. As a result, the economists and statisticians at the Bureau of Labor Statistics will be at home, and everyone from Ben Bernanke, the Fed's chairman, to thousands of traders glued to their Bloomberg screens, will be left without one of the most important clues to the state of the economy.
The mystery is heightened by the question of just how much of an impact the shutdown itself will have. And while the job numbers from last month cannot answer that question, economists almost universally agree that the cost to the economy depends on how long the standoff lasts, and whether the much larger danger of a debt default can be averted.
"If it's short, it's barely a blip on the radar," said Ellen Zentner, senior U.S. economist at Morgan Stanley. "If a shutdown is prolonged, it's a whole different story."
Like many Wall Street economists, Zentner estimates that each week of the shutdown will shave one-tenth to two-tenths of a percentage point off economic growth in the final quarter of 2013.
That may not sound like much, especially in a $16 trillion economy. And during the last extended shutdown in the mid-1990s under President Bill Clinton, the booming economy barely paused. This time, though, growth is weaker, job creation is much more modest, and the economy is more prone to self-inflicted wounds from Washington.
Many experts on Wall Street and elsewhere estimate the economy will grow at an annual rate of 1.5 to 2.5 percent in the second half of 2013, well below the 3.5 percent pace recorded in the third quarter of 1995 and the 2.9 percent rate in the fourth quarter of that year, when the last shutdown began. Unemployment in August 2013 stood at 7.3 percent, compared with 5.6 percent at the end of 1995.
"Every tenth of a percent of growth matters much more now," said Dean Maki, chief U.S. economist at Barclays.
As those percentages indicate, the human toll is also much greater -- there are now 11.3 million jobless Americans, compared with 7.4 million in December 1995.
Early last week, the conventional wisdom on Wall Street was that the shutdown will last about a week, or maybe just a bit more, which is why the stock market was relatively buoyant. And that is in line with the average length of the 17 shutdowns the country has endured since 1976. But pessimistic observers note that the last shutdown stretched on much longer, from Dec. 15, 1995, to Jan. 6, 1996, and they say the current standoff more closely resembles that imbroglio than the one- and two-day shutdowns of the 1980s.
If the pessimists are right, the economic damage could be much worse, even if the federal borrowing limit is eventually raised and the default risk is taken off the table. At Bank of America Merrill Lynch, economists Ethan Harris and Michael Hanson estimate that a monthlong shutdown could cut growth by as much as two full percentage points, bringing the economy close to an outright stall.
The government shutdown -- and the ensuing lack of data -- will also extend another drama in Washington: the question of just when the Federal Reserve will begin to taper its stimulus efforts.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis, the main record gatherers, are ghost towns, Zentner noted, with just three out of 2,400 employees at the former classified as essential, while five out of 460 are on the job at the latter.
"They're flying blind at this point," said Augustine D. Faucher, senior economist at PNC in Pittsburgh. Moreover, he said, Bernanke and the Fed looked smart for having kept the stimulus in place last month, given the ultimate fallout from the shutdown, however long it lasts.

Citation: Zavarez, L.B., Utsunomiya, Y.T., Sonstegard, T.S., Garcia, J.F. 2014. Assessment of inbreeding depression in Nellore cows (Bos indicus) through high-density SNP genotypes. BARC Poster Day, Poster 59, pp. 71. Technical Abstract: Inbreeding has been incriminated as a cause of decrease in reproductive performance in cattle. This negative correlation is known as 'inbreeding depression', and evidence supporting this hypothesis was generated from association studies between reproductive traits and estimates of inbreeding coefficients (F). Traditionally, inbreeding coefficients are calculated from pedigree data (FPED), but this source of information is susceptible to errors and is often incomplete. The use of high density SNP genotypes to scan individual genomes for contiguous homozygous chromosome fragments has been proposed as a proxy for the identification of genome-wide identical by descent haplotypes (i.e., autozygous chromosome fragments). We applied a Runs of Homozygosity (ROH) method to estimate genomic inbreeding coefficients in 1278 Nellore cows (Bos indicus) genotyped for over 777,000 SNPs, and assessed their association birth weight, pre-weaning gain, post-weaning gain, navel, muscling, precocity and conformation at weaning and at yearling, gestation length and age at first calving. We identified ROH using the algorithm implemented in SVS 7 and F_ROH was calculated based on ROH of different minimum lengths (> 1, > 2, > 4, > 8 or > 16 Mb). Chromosome segments presenting ROH for a minimum of 60 individuals (approximately 5% of the samples) were declared common ROH. In order to assess the putative effect of inbreeding levels on performance, all phenotypic traits were regressed against the measures of inbreeding via ordinary least squares. In order to evaluate phenotypic differences among individuals according to their homozygous state in common ROH regions, t-tests were applied to investigate phenotypic mean difference. Over 600 animals presented homozygous fragments larger than 16 Mb, indicating recent inbreeding. This may be due to increased use of artificial insemination and dissemination of the germplasm of one important bull implicated in transmitting offspring with early puberty. ROH was detected in 76 genomic regions, and this included detection of an extended ROH region on chromosome 14 (fragment from 22.4 Mb to 27.5 Mb), which contains PLAG1. This gene has a known variant affecting birth weight and scrotal circumference in all cattle, and overlaps perfectly with the strong linkage disequilibrium in this region.

When you live on a diet of canned food and dried biscuits, who could blame you for yearning for a little variety?
So don't think too harshly of Honey, the crafty suburban pet who decided to swap her dog's dinner for a bear's bite to eat.
After a suburban street near Seattle, Washington, was flooded earlier this week, a swollen nearby river spilled out over the road.
Carried with the raging water were some very tasty salmon, which were merely trying to get to the other side of the road and continue on their way.
Unfortunately for them, local pooch Honey decided to do a little fishing.
In video showing large salmon zooming across the street, Honey playfully sprints after them in a bid to grab a fish supper.
She fails in her first attempts but her perseverance finally pays off, as she lands a real beauty. With the swagger of a fisherman who has just caught something to really brag about, she then slowly saunters off with her prize.
The Skokomish River spilled over its banks in Mason County on Monday, sending water over roadways and flooding some fields.
While most people found it annoying and damaging, Honey was clearly having a ball.
The Washington district received record-breaking downpours in the first days of Novembe,r which lead to Honey's lucky catch.
The river was running high and fast and overflowing into surrounding roads.
Local resident Randy Deivert said: 'If you live here, you better be prepared for it'.
That dog looks like it's been living on Big Macs and French Fries. The fish will do it good.

As the holidays approach, people start to ask me more and more about making something delicious and inventive for their vegetarian dinner guests. Nowadays, vegan and gluten-free guests are also becoming common! I'm always up for the challenge of diet-restricted guests. This is just one of the many items I have had fun creating for the Skirball's unique catering menu. I work hard to make every dish look as good as it tastes, and this very elegant-looking (if I don't say so myself) vegetable tower is a creative and hearty alternative to the simple salad and is easy to make. Even the non-vegetarians will enjoy it!
Tower of Butternut Squash, Beets, and Arugula
1 butternut squash (select one with long stem neck)
1 large red beet
1 large Hass avocado, cut into cubes
Cherry balsamic vinaigrette (Alternative: regular balsamic vinegar that has been reduced to syrup)
Salt and pepper
Basil Oil:
1 bunch basil
1 bunch Italian parsley
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
- Peel butternut squash and cut into half-inch thick rounds. Coat with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar on both sides. Bake at 350 degrees until soft, for approximately 20 minutes.
- Coat the beet with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and wrap it in foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
- Roughly chop 1 bunch of basil to make a half-cup. Set aside. Chop the Italian parsley and blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds. Shock in a bowl of ice water. Then place parsley and the chopped basil in a blender, add half-cup of olive oil, and blend until smooth. Pour into a very fine mesh strainer, and let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Take the beet out of oven, and rub with paper towel until skin comes off. Cut the beet into 6 half-inch wide disks, and cut the remainder into small cubes.
- Cut the squash and beets into disks with a round cookie cutter, and season with balsamic and salt and pepper. Assemble two layers in a ring mold as follows: 1 beet disk, 1 inch in height of arugula, diced avocados, 1 squash disk. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove from molds and place in serving plate. Sprinkle the diced beet cubes on top, drizzle with cherry balsamic vinegar, and then basil oil.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaf, and enjoy!

Rifles, automatic weapons, handguns and plenty of ammunition to boot. It's just some of what Waterloo Township Police found at this residence after a major bust Friday night.
"We went in with a search warrant and found about 18 different weapons around the house," said Waterloo Police Chief Tom Cottrell.
Many of which authorities say are illegal.
Police say the bust began when a woman used the suspect's driveway to turn around. She told police the suspect then came at her with an automatic weapon and threatened her.
That woman then left and called police. Chief Cottrell says she was distraught and extremely frightened. He says they used her statement to get a warrant signed.
"As we began to investigate that complaint and interview some neighbors, we found out there may be some automatic weapons in the house."
Police, along with the Michigan State Police Swat Team, raided the home and immediately seized the guns and arrested the suspect.
We went to his home on Saturday to talk to his family, where we found his wife. She kicked us off the property.... and says she supports her husband, and is pointing the finger at the alleged victim.
"Some strange idiot drove up in our driveway," she shouted.
The suspect now faces two felony charges including felonious assault and a felony firearms violation. Police believe there will be additional charges next week once the Department of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms investigates the case.
The suspect is currently lodged in the Jackson County jail and will be arraigned on Monday.

So let's take a closer look at what makes it so special.
Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of a tropical ever green tree. It takes a highly specialized artisan to strip the inner bark. First you need to remove the outer bark. Then through a process of steam distillation, the oil is extracted from this bark. The bark oil is of perfume quality. All you need is just a drop of this potent oil. Most people are quite shocked at how little is needed for any application. It is that powerful. Extremely refined and sophisticated. But far too expensive for everyday use. Which is why it is mostly used for food products like chocolates and a variety of manufactured food products.
What you need for everyday use is Cinnamon leaf oil. It has most of the properties of Cinnamon bark oil without the extreme cost. Cinnamon leaf oil is a germicidal, antiseptic, and antifungal. anthelmintic, antidiarrheal, antidote, antimicrobal, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antiputrescent, aphrodisiac, astingent, carminative, digestive, emmenagogue, hemostatic, orexigenic, parasticide, refrigerant, spasmolytic, stimulant, stomachic, and vermifuge. Wow what a long list right? I bet you can't find another spice with a list like that.
3. Natural Denture Cleaner – Mix 2 drops Cinnamon leaf oil.with 10oz of hydrogen peroxide and for sparkling clean dentures, many dentists recommend soaking them in hydrogen peroxide. Adding cinnamon leaf oil addresses any bacteria issues. You may want to adjust the mixture ratio if two drops are not enough but make sure you rinse it with water after you soak it overnight. Increasing the ratio may irritate your skin so you need to adjust to suit your own preferences and to get the right blend without losing the germ killing effects.
Tips and Warning
Wear gloves when you mix Cinnamon leaf oil as direct contact with dlution may irritate skin. It won't kill ya but touch your genitals or rub your eyes after direct contact with cinnamon leaf oil and you are going to be hopping around quite a bit. Good quality ultra pure Cinnamo leaf oil is very potent so you only need to add only a drop. Many people including ourselves were tempted to add more Cinnamon leaf oil. Don't! All you need is just a drop or two for most applications for very effective results.

Civil Rights Movement: "Black Power" Era
Huey P. Newton in Civil Rights Movement: "Black Power" Era
Huey P. Newton (1942 - 1989) was one of the founders of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense.
Newton was the child of black migrants who had left the Jim Crow South in the early 1950s in search of a better life in California. He grew up in Oakland, in a hardworking, disciplined, religious household, which stressed education and dignity. While attending Oakland City College in the early 1960s, Newton read the works of radical, nationalist leaders such as Frantz Fanon, Che Guevara, Mao Zedong, and Malcolm X. In 1966, with friend Bobby Seale, Newton formed the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in response to police brutality and economic strife in the black community.

This soup is surprisingly simple to make, and perhaps the hardest thing to do is to make the crepes. I am lucky, however, and crepes are Bruno's absolute specialty. They are perfect every time! Check them out here.
German pancake soup
Servings: 4
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 1 hour
1 lb beef for stew
1 whole clove
1/4 tsp fennel seeds
12 cups of water
salt and pepper to taste
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 thin carrots, chopped
1 1/2 beef bouillon cubes
1/8 cup chopped green onion
1/8 cup chopped curly parsley
3 crepes (recipe here).
In a big pot, combine the first 6 ingredients. When you add the salt, try to add less than you normally would since we will be adding bouillon cubes later. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. When it begins to boil, remove the beef residue that will float to the top. Lower the heat to medium and let cook for 20 minutes.
While the beef is cooking, you can prepare the crepes and chop your veggies. When the 20 minutes have passed, add the carrots, mushroom, celery and bouillon cubes to the pot. Crumble the cubes with your fingers as you add them, and stir in well to combine the flavors. Let everything for an additional 25 minutes. If you prefer your veggies to be crunchier, add them in a bit later.
Roll the crepes into tight cylinders and slice them to create long strips. Serve the soup with green onions, parsley and crepe strips on top. Try to get a bit of everything in each spoonful, the combination is amazing!
And the crepe master gives it a:

Play production of future Christmas film coming to Houma
Published: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:45 a.m.
A holiday play performed by an all-star cast is coming Friday to Houma.
"The Forgotten Carols," a traditional Christmas story with a contemporary twist, is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, 346 Civic Center Blvd.
Tickets cost $20 per person at the Civic Center Box Office or ticketmaster.com.
The play tells the story of Constance, a young nurse who sees the holidays as a "meaningless distraction" until she is assigned to care for an elderly man who believes he has been alive for 2000 years. He says he's met forgotten characters from classic Christmas stories, such as the innkeeper who turned away Joseph and Mary in the biblical story of Jesus' birth. As he chronicles his encounters with his "forgotten carol," he reaches Constance with the spirit of the holidays she had long ago forgotten.
Emmy Award-winning TV producer and host Michael Young said he decided to bring "The Forgotten Carols" to the area, citing the growing entertainment industry in the South, especially New Orleans.
"The industry is changing to where Hollywood, from now on, is just going to do those blockbuster movies that cost $100 million and are going to make $200 million or $1 billion in the box office. But the rest of the country is going to do those programs that can be done affordably locally and are going to go into your community and reach the specific audience that you want them to reach," Young said.
It's called "runaway production," meaning production has left Los Angeles and New York and gone somewhere else.
"In Los Angeles," Young said, "the two places that are talked about the most are the New Orleans and Atlanta areas."
The play is sponsored by several local businesses and groups, including Buquet Distributing, Town and Country Real Estate, The Salon Rubicon and the Kiwanis Club of Houma.
Kiwanis Club board member Rosie Vassallo was active in forging the partnership between Young and the Civic Center. For her involvement in this project and others, she was recently honored as the Kiwanian of the Year.
"When I found out about the play and met the producer, I contacted the Civic Center because I thought it'd be great for Houma. I'm just so excited that we're able to bring such wonderful productions like this here," Vassallo said. "It's not just another play. It's a community booster. For example, it's allowing young students to partner with Broadway professionals, which is a wonderful opportunity for them."
The Forgotten Carols will immediately follow a 6 p.m. Christmas concert by the Mulberry Baptist Church Choir of Houma. The Vandebilt Catholic High School Choir will be featured during the play.
A few of the play's main characters are professional actors, including Tony Blake from major TV shows such as "Lois & Clark" and "Charmed," and Will North, who has worked on numerous stage productions and TV shows including "Westside Story," "CATS," "All My Children," "As the World Turns" and "Guiding Light."

What was supposed to be a happy family vacation on Alaska, turned out to be a family nightmare for Karen Clyde, her husband and children. Mazzy Star was a 15 year old husky that went missing on this family trip. The biggest problem in this whole story is that the husky was deaf and very old and had only three legs. What Karen feared most about is that the dog might have been attacked or even eaten by bears.
After one week of holidays, Mazzy unfortunately wondered away from the camp, and he search for her begun. Lost dog posters have been put everywhere for people to see. A lot of people joined in the search for Mazzy, but without any success.
The family had to go back home because the kids were starting their school year, and Karen had to take care of her 3 month old baby. The search for Mazzy stopped, and the whole family went back home heartbroken.
One day after they got back home, Clyde, Karen's husband got a call. When he answered, from the other side was a guy named Wally with a thick Mississippi accent. He called to tell them good news – Mazzy had been found.
Mazzy was found eight days after she went missing. She was tired, dirty, had burrs in her fur, was missing fur on her tail, and had lost a lot of weight.
In the moment she saw Karen and the children, she became happy. She started to drink and eat and a couple of days later she got back to shape. They say that she probably had been using her nose to find her way home.
Karen's and Clyde's 13-year-old son said: "You know, Mom, I don't know why you worried because I knew she would come back."
The entire story about Mazzy and her way back home, you can read on the following link: http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/lost-then-found-old-dogs-misadventure-alaskas-bear-country

About John
John Roe joined the Hopkins laboratory as a research technician after completing his undergraduate degree at Davidson College. After working with us for 2 years, he left for Indiana University Purdue to obtain his MS degree. He then rejoined the Hopkins laboratory for more than a year before heading to Australia to pursue a Ph.D.
John completed his Ph.D. in 2008 from the University of Canberra. Currently, Dr. Roe is an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
John is interested in how an organism's physiology, behavior and life history traits relate to their ecology, evolution and ultimately, to their conservation. By examining these types of questions, John hopes to gain a better understanding of how organisms have adapted to their environments, and how they continue to interact with the continually changing environments. In particular, he is interested in investigating the biology of aquatic and semi-aquatic reptiles and amphibians to address these questions, because these organisms have an especially dynamic interaction with their habitat. The fact that wetlands are being drained, polluted or otherwise altered from a natural state at an increasing rate puts the organisms that rely on such habitats in danger.
While a technician in the Hopkins laboratory, John worked on a variety of projects pertaining to amphibian and reptile physiology and conservation.

SOSUS- The "Secret Weapon" of Undersea Surveillance
By Edward C. Whitman
Born of a three-way marriage of early Cold War strategic necessity, World War II progress in underwater acoustics, and an extraordinary engineering effort, the Navys pioneering Sound Surveillance System SOSUS became a key, long-range early-warning asset for protecting the United States against the threat of Soviet ballistic missile submarines and in providing vital cueing information for tactical, deep-ocean, anti-submarine warfare. And although subsequent events most notably the end of the Cold War robbed SOSUS of much of its mission, its history remains an object lesson in how inspired, science-based engineering development can lead to extraordinary operational effectiveness.

Cannes 2010: Queen Noor and Valerie Plame Wilson on Nukes
Queen Noor of Jordan and former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson were among the luminaries who gathered at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday to support "Countdown to Zero," a new film about nuclear proliferation. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of "An Inconvenient Truth," the film was backed by Jeff Skoll's Participant Media and producer Lawrence Bender, who also came to Cannes in 2006 with the Al Gore environmental documentary.
"With 'An Inconvenient Truth,' we learned firsthand the power of what a movie could do," said Bender, who told a room of journalists at a press conference that the idea for the project came to him and Skoll when Gore was receiving the Nobel Peace prize in Oslo. "It was here in Cannes that we brought 'An Inconvenient Truth' to the world, and it's our desire and hope that the same thing happens with this movie," he said.
"Countdown to Zero" features interviews with Mikhail Gorbachev, Tony Blair and Pervez Musharraf and Oleg Khintsagov, a Russian nuclear smuggler who was caught trying to sell enriched uranium to someone he thought was an Al Qaeda operative. "It was the most chilling moment of my life," director Lucy Walker said of her meeting with the convicted arms dealer. "Nine grams can bring down the elephant," she said, quoting the criminal. "He was describing how a very small amount of nuclear material can cause so much destruction."
"I truly believe this is the most urgent threat we face as human beings," Walker added. "And that's why I chose to make this movie."
According to Skoll, the eBay founder-turned-philanthropist, the movie is part of a coordinated effort of more than 50 organizations, including faith-based groups, liberal groups and college tours to get the word out about the nuclear issue and help put pressure on the Senate to ratify the Start nuclear reduction treaty. "I started the company six years ago because we believe film could get people involved in the big issues that affects us all, whether climate change or nuclear weapons," he said.
Queer Noor added, "I believe this film needs to be seen throughout the world, and help those populations mobilize to put pressure on political leaders or support political leaders who support the elimination of nuclear weapons."
Plame, whose memoirs have been adapted into the movie "Fair Game," which plays in Cannes later in the week, explained her reasons for participating in "Countdown to Zero." "I know about the possibilities of terrorists getting nuclear weapons and if I can do anything to raise the urgency, I will."

since moving to a host using LiteSpeed, we've started having a problem with W3TC, with a blank page showing instead of our site (it's not the "blank page at dashboard" issue).
After disabling and enabling plugins and features, I've noticed that the problem was with CDN at W3TC: if disabled, the site loaded ok; if enabled, we had a blank screen.
With the help of our host, we've concluded that the problem was with eAccelerator (v. 0.9.5.3), and we've had to add the below to our .htaccess:
php_flag eaccelerator.enable 0
php_flag eaccelerator.optimizer 0
With this, the site loads perfectly and we can use the CDN feature on W3TC (Rackspace).
I had the hope that this would be unnecessary with the latest update of W3TC, but I've noticed that it's still there.
Is there any different workaround for this?

Carlisle council throws out Talkin Tarn housing plan!
From The Cumberland News:
Councillors meeting today refused planning consent for the conversion of the former Tarn End House Hotel.
Developer Citadel Estates wanted to extend the building to provide 15 homes and in return promised to build a new boathouse for Talkin Tarn Amateur Rowing Club.
The council received 150 objections from members of the public, while 23 wrote in support of the scheme.
But planning office Angus Hutchinson recommended that councillors refuse the application saying that housing in open countryside was against council policy.
He also said the extension would be "detrimental to the character of the building and the area".
There were also safety concerns about vehicle access to the site.
Andrew Willison-Holt, on behalf of Citadel Estates, said the company would not appeal against the decision.
He said: "My client will pursue that which he intended when he bought the site but without the boathouse."
Councillors approved plans for the new boathouse in principle, but the rowing club lacks the funding to make them a reality.
Heated discussion in Save Talkin Tarn Facebook group
Well, Save Talkin Tarn has been a very busy group recently, as the 768 members (so far) discuss the problems with the proposed mini housing estate.
If you're looking for more reading material, this page on the Carlisle City Council website showcases some of the diverse wildlife that can be found at the tarn….
Is Talkin Tarn boathouse bribery?
A letter in the Opinion section of the News & Star:
If I, or any other member of the public, were to submit an application to the planning office to build a house, and included with the application a brown envelope stuffed with money to smooth the way and get it passed, I'm sure it would not be long before the police were knocking on the door wanting to question me about the attempted bribery of council officials.
How is it then that the development company wanting to convert the Tarn hotel can offer £350,000 to get their plans passed and nobody says a word?
A bribe is a bribe no matter how it is dressed up and the application should be judged on its merits and nothing else.
That is of course unless I have misunderstood the development company's intentions and they will build the new boathouse even if their application is turned down.
Kentmere Grove
Just how big is that boathouse?
As part of the effort to develop the old Tarn House hotel into a mini housing estate, the developers have proposed building a wonderful new boathouse for the Talkin Tarn Amateur Rowing Club. But questions have been raised about the size of the new boathouse!
The proposed new boathouse has an internal area of 728m2, with a boat storage area of 484m2, enough to store 54 boats. There's also a nice private gym, a meeting room, more storage space, etc.
Now, most people won't have any way of gauging that. Is it a lot?
Well, exact figures for the number of active members in the club seem hard to come by, but they range from 25 to 75. Most rowing focusses on boats with two, four or eight rowers, some with a extra person to steer (the cox). So 54 boats for 75 people seems quite generous!
But the expansion of an athletic club, in this supersized society, is to be encouraged. So let us assume that if they build it, new members will come, and maybe they'll have enough members to crew at least some of those 54 boats.
So here's an interesting article: London Rowing Club Boathouse. It's about the boathouse of the London Rowing Club, in the heart of Rowing Country on the River Thames in London — possibly the largest concentration of rowers in Britain.
In it, you'll notice that the external floor area is a misely 466m2. Now, granted, they have two stories, and the changing rooms and showers are on the first floor, you can easily see that not more than about 500m2 are used for the business of rowing, with the rest devoted to a bar, kitchen, club rooms, and an office.
So why does TTARC need one and half times as much space as the London Rowing Club?
Maybe they're training to be the transport of choice when the next Eden floods Carlisle?
Housing for regular people "not worth contemplating", apparently!
In a recently posted "response" to Carlisle's planning people's objections to their gandiose plans, the developer's planners have rather revealed their bias!
They wrote:
The idea of providing affordable housing in this location is not worth even contemplating.
So, let's get this straight: affordable housing for regular people to live in is "not worth contemplating"? Why not? Could it be that it would eat into the developer's profits?
Any ideas, anyone?
1 Boathouse for 5 (or so) Houses?
The company that wants to turn the Tarn House Hotel into a terrace of 15 houses claims that "5 or so" of the new houses are needed to pay for the new boathouse they are offering as an "incentive" to gain support their new housing estate.
Now, the new boathouse is 4 times the size of the old one, so inquiring minds want to know quite how much boathouse you could get for, say, one extra house?
Wikipedia entry for Talkin Tarn
The Wikipedia entry for Talkin Tarn is a bit sparse:
Talkin Tarn is a glacial lake and country park in Cumbria, England. This lake was formed approximately 10,000 years ago by glacial action which formed this kettle hole lake and associated sand drumlins. Rowing and certain other water recreation are popular activities at Talkin Tarn. The rowing club, http://www.talkintarnarc.com (Talkin Tarn Armature Rowing Club) are celebrating their 150th anniversary, in 2009.
If a local expert would like to write up a new and improved version, I just happen to be a Wikipedia editor, and would gladly update the page for you!

Objectors take Talkin Tarn fight on to internet
A group of objectors hitting out against plans to turn one of the oldest hotels in Cumbria into a housing development have taken their protest to the web.
Save Talkin Tarn has was launched on social networking site Facebook on Friday and has already gained 130 supporters.
Fans of the beauty spot from as far afield as the USA, Spain and Edinburgh have thrown their weight behind the campaign.
Developer Dean Montgomery has tabled plans for 15 homes at the former Tarn End House Hotel at Talkin Tarn near Brampton.
Planning policies rule out housing in open countryside.
But Mr Montgomery's company, Citadel Estates, says the scheme is in the public interest because it is offering to replace Talkin Tarn Amateur Rowing Club's inadequate boathouse if the proposals are approved.
Alan Sykes of Talkin Head, who has officially objected to the plans, because they would see the beauty spot "utterly ruined" decided to set up the page. He said: "I wanted to get our message to as many people as possible and Facebook seemed like a good way to do this."
He added: "If these plans get the go ahead it would be like building a small village in the countryside.
"There are some hamlets that are smaller than 15 houses."
Mr Sykes also said he was concerned about increased volumes of traffic on the rural, single track roads surrounding the tarn.
There is a link on the web page directing people to the city council website where they can make objections.
Talkin Tarn Estate is managed by Carlisle City Council. But Tarn End House belonged to Cumbria County Council, which sold the 19th-century building to Mr Montgomery for £450,000 in April. It had first obtained planning consent for holiday flats.
Citadel Estates describes those plans as "crude and simplistic" and argues Tarn End is not viable as a hotel either.
Instead, it wants to build one three-bedroom and 14 two-bedroom houses for sale as private homes.
Most would have private terraces overlooking Talkin Tarn and all would have access to communal gardens.
The plans should go before the council's development control committee on Friday October 2.
Dean Montgomery of Citadel Estates said: "Saving Talkin Tarn is exactly what we aim to do.
"Social media sites such as Facebook are a fast way to whip up a frenzy of emotion in a very short space of time.
"To our knowledge the views expressed there have not been communicated as official objections.
"I'm sure we could easily find just as many supporters of the scheme by using similar methods."
From News & Star
From BBC News: Hotel scheme protest goes online
Now on the BBC news page!
More than 250 people have joined an online campaign against plans to turn a former hotel beside a Cumbrian beauty spot into 15 luxury homes.
Citadel Estates wants to convert and extend the former Tarn End House Hotel at Talkin Tarn near Brampton.
The Save Talkin Tarn group, created on social networking site Facebook, said the plans would "ruin" the area.
The developer said the scheme was in the public interest as a new boat house for a local rowing club would be built.
Alan Sykes, who created the Facebook group, said the plans would "destroy" the area's beauty and ambiance.
He said: "It is essentially planting a small village in open countryside.
"This is 15 houses on less than half an acre of land in the middle of a beauty spot and it is bound to cause disruption and disturbance to an otherwise lovely and tranquil place."
The site, which overlooks the Talkin Tarn country park, was been sold to the developer by Carlisle City Council for £450,000 earlier this year.
The plans are expected to go before the council's planning committee on 2 October.
Objections from across the world to Talkin Tarn housing plan
Plans to turn a historic building on the edge of Talkin Tarn into 15 homes has raised objections from around the world.
International supporters of the Brampton beauty spot from California and Spain, alongside objectors from across the UK, have contacted Carlisle City Council about their fears for the tarn if the plans go ahead.
They feel that the unspoilt nature of the popular country park will be jeopardised if developer Dean Montgomery is allowed to extend and convert the landmark 19th-century Tarn End House Hotel into houses.
Since plans were revealed 26 people have lodged formal objections and almost 300 people have joined online protest page 'Save Talkin Tarn' on social network site Facebook.
There have been no official responses in favour of the development.
But Dean Montgomery of Citadel Estates argues that the scheme is in the public interest because it is offering to replace Talkin Tarn Amateur Rowing Club's dilapidated boathouse, if the proposals are approved.
The club says it has raised £20,000 but needs £350,000 and that Mr Montgomery's offer is its only hope.
The developer has also dismissed the Facebook protest and says that saving Talkin Tarn is exactly what he wants to do.
But one objector from Solvang in California, said that the plans would "deface" the tarn's landscape.
The woman emailed Carlisle City Council to say: "Being able to immerse oneself such a natural setting has everything to do with beneficial human psychology, and therefore it would be a bane to the countryside's people to deface Talkin Tarn in this way."
Mary Hughes from Ardales in Malaga, Spain, added: "I am appalled at this application. I visited Talkin Tarn first with my children and now with my grandchildren. The thought of a view of new houses instead of the old hotel I have visited many times in the past horrifies me."
Alan Sykes of Talkin Head, who is behind the online 'Save Talkin Tarn' campaign, said: "This is too dense a development which would adversely affect Talkin Tarn and the road to Talkin village and would also ruin an attractive Victorian farmhouse."
Edwards Scott from Banks House in Brampton fears this could set a precedent for other housing developments in beauty spots.
He said: "The proposal is contrary to the council's rural area policy, outside a built-up area and not within a village envelope, therefore it would create a planning precedent which could lead to further developments and be detrimental to the visual amenity."
Council officials are to release recommendations next week on whether or not councillors should approve the application.

There they interviewed several high-latitude voyagers, prepared the narrative, and shot further detailed footage to complete the Storm Tactics video, a project Lin and Larry conceived almost ten years ago.
"Too many people see their cruising dreams derailed because of their fear of storms. We wanted to product a program that encouraged people by giving them a plan of action-one that showed storm sails working and a small boat coming through some major blows without drama or damage. Even more important, I wanted to show how the sailor's safety valve—heaving-to-works, and the slick it creates. It's hard for people to imagine the almost magic effect of a slick as it saps the power of breaking waves," Larry says. "Now I have video to show it."

Did A Swedish Prince Lie About His Design Work?
A royal scandal is brewing in the Swedish design world, after claims that Prince Carl Philip Bernadotte, son of the current King of Sweden, has signed off on objects he may not have designed himself.
Since his design studies in Sweden and at the Rhode Island School of Design, the Prince has launched a series of design projects, some of which have been criticized for plagiarism. Now it turns out that he may not even have designed the objects himself.
Designer and author Eric Ericson told Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet Wednesday that he is the designer behind a fireplace screen sold by prestigious Swedish design firm Svenskt Tenn with the Prince's signature. "I thought I would supervise him, but it turned out that I was supposed to do his work for him," Mr. Ericson said.
The contentious piece is a cast-iron fireplace screen designed as the facade of a historic Swedish royal palace, Tre Kronor. When a fire is lit behind the screen, it rather cleverly becomes a reenactment of the 1697 fire that destroyed the castle. However, if Mr. Ericson's claims are true, it may be the Prince's design career that is going up in smoke.
The Prince himself has not commented on the claims, but the Chairman of his design company, Axel Calissendorff, told The Wall Street Journal that while the final design of the screen was in fact penned by Eric Ericson, Carl Philip Bernadotte was active in developing the concept, and remained part of the process until the fire screen was launched.
This is not unusual in design processes, Mr. Calissendorff maintained, and added that the Prince had wanted Mr. Ericson to co-sign the object, but Mr. Ericson requested anonymity.
In an emailed response to The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Ericson said he was too exhausted by the matter to give any further comments.
The story broke after the Swedish design magazine Form's editor in chief Bo Madestrand said several independent sources had told the magazine that the prince "has simply not done much design work himself." Carl Philip's great uncle, Sigvard Bernadotte, was an accomplished designer, and Madestrand argued that the Prince has been pushed into the role of "design prince" following in Bernadotte's footsteps. "Like his father, the King, the Prince is not permitted to be the carefree lad he is, and is instead playing a role someone else has written for him," Madestrand said.
Mr. Ericson told Svenska Dagbladet that Carl Philip may not have the drive necessary to be a designer. "He can become one, but it takes a lot of hard work to get there," Mr. Ericson said.
Mr. Calissendorff strongly rejected claims that the Prince lacks artistic ambition. "He has a genuine interest and a solid education in design," Mr. Calissendorff said. "He intends to continue and devote more time and energy to design."
Svenskt Tenn has now removed the Prince's name from the description of the item, which retails for 14,500 Swedish kronor ($2,230). About 100 customers have bought the screen; Mr. Calissendorff claims to be one of them. "I have no intention of returning it," he said.

Equities, Investment Banking Gains Fail to Cushion Barclays' FICC Fall
Analysts hailed Barclays' third-quarter performance in equities and investment banking, although revenue growth in those business was not enough to offset the expected steep drop-off in fixed income, currencies and commodities, which ensured the investment bank's pretax profits hit their lowest quarterly level since 2011.
Pretax profits at Barclays' investment bank fell to £463 million ($741 million) in the third quarter, down 53% from the £988 million level a year earlier, marking the worst quarter for the division since it posted a £32 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2011, according to the UK banking group's third-quarter interim results published today.
Net operating revenues, at £2.1 billion, also hit their lowest level since the final three months of 2011, and were 23% below the £2.7 billion in revenues earned in the third-quarter last year.
Barclays had laid the ground for the third-quarter numbers when it warned in its rights issue prospectus last month that revenues from FICC – a business where revenues plunged for most of its U.S. and European rivals in the third quarter – had been on a downward trajectory since July.
So it proved today, as Barclays revealed a 44% year-on-year decline in third-quarter FICC revenues, which totaled £940 million. Excluding assets that were earlier this year designated among those that the bank is exiting under its Transform project, FICC revenues were 34% down over the same period.
