(Re: Nov. 16 letter, "Don't blame oil firms," by Ruth Elizabeth Earp.)
I would like to relate who really destroyed the Iraqi oil fields and statistics, from online sources, about U.S. oil imports, in rebuttal to Earp's letter blaming President Bush for Iraq's destroyed oil fields and saying that we get "zero" oil from Iraq.
Neither Bush nor the U.S. military attacked or destroyed any oil fields in Iraq. They were destroyed by post-Iraq invasion terrorists. In 2003, they mainly comprised the remnants of Saddam Hussein's army and Iraqi oil field engineers.
Saddam directed that all wells in Iraq be rigged with explosives. The fields in southern Iraq around Basra were the only ones destroyed. The assumption that we destroyed them is totally false.
According to the latest Energy Information Administration figures, the U.S. imported 10.3 million barrels of crude oil per day in September 2007. Of that amount, Canada was the No. 1 import nation with 1.956 million barrels per day. Iraq came in at No. 6 with 603,000 barrels per day, roughly 6 percent of the total amount imported.
I suggest Earp do some research before writing a letter blaming anything on the president. But this is the typical rhetoric spewed by all Bush-haters.

Defense and consistency is the name of the game for Northridge.
The Grizzlies defense was all over the Valley boys basketball team like white on rice, and Northridge's players seamlessly subbed in without missing a beat.
A combination like that can be lethal and the Vikings got the full experience Thursday night.
On its home court, Northridge claimed its fourth straight win with a 46-38 victory against Valley, three of which have been played in one week. And, Northridge still has one more to go before it gets a few days off: The Grizzlies will play a Class 4A Tri-Valley home game against Frederick at 6:30 tonight.
Acting head coach Ray Vasquez said the Grizzlies (6-3) are feeling a lot better about their play after the past three games.
"We always try to stay consistent when you have three games in a week so it's all about being consistent and that's what we've been preaching to the young gentlemen is that's very, very important, especially at home," he said. "You have to play extremely well and just play consistent four quarters of basketball. It's all about defense."
Northridge head coach Terry Anderson was absent once again, taking care of his newborn at home, so Vasquez has taken over coaching duties for him for the last two games.
The Grizzlies smothered Valley (4-4), only allowing the Vikings 14 total field goals. Valley had one basket in the first quarter and four total points and three baskets in the fourth quarter. Northridge also had five steals and four blocks in the second half.
Vasquez said the Northridge players stepped up on defense, which is what the team falls back on.
"We want to hold teams to single-digits quarters if all possible. That's one of our goals," Vasquez said. "And, to do it in two quarters, the first quarter and the fourth quarter, which the fourth quarter is more important. But to get those stops are very, very important. … That helps with their confidence."
On the other sideline, the Vikings were struggling offensively, shooting 14 of 40 field goals. Coach Ryan Voehringer said his team isn't going to win road games with that kind of shooting.
However, he said Valley played well on the other side of the ball.
"I thought for the most part, we played pretty well defensively," Voehringer said.
After falling into a nine-point deficit at the end of the first, the Vikings answered well and outscored Northridge 15-7. They allowed only two field goals.
However, Voehringer said turnovers and missed 3-pointers got Valley in trouble toward the end of the game.
"We have to get better late in games and score the basketball," he said.
Another issue for the Vikings was Northridge senior Jason Barraza-Lucero, who scored a game-high 17 points and added two steals and a block in the second half.
"Jason has definitely come into his own and it's very good to see with (it) being his senior year," Vasquez said. "It's good to see him play at the level that he is 'cause he is a good, solid kid for us. And again, he's gotta be consistent every game and even at practices. He's definitely stepped up to the challenge."
Barraza-Lucero, who has been dealing with a leg injury, said he feels like Northridge is getting on a roll.
"It's just our defense," he said. "Every time you come to Northridge, you're practically 10 points down right now 'cause that's just how we wanna play defense every single time."
Vasquez said almost the whole team was consistent Thursday night, which he was happy to see.
"The subs that we had … we didn't really skip a beat and that's very important when you sub your starters that there's no slippage in play," he said, "and those guys that do come off the bench gave us important minutes."
He added that it's nice to add a W to Northridge's record, "but it's about just trying to develop this young team we have."
"(It's) definitely a confidence booster to win tonight and going into our second conference game with a win is important," Vasquez said.

Occupation Evicted? Occupy the Place Responsible: DC
Has the First Amendment expired in your public square? Has your local park prioritized empty vistas over the right to petition your government for a redress of grievances, thereby adding one more grievance to the list?
Here's a proposal. Pack up all of your grievances in a bag and bring them to where the government responsible is located. Move your protest and yourself and as much of your Occupy community as you can bring with you to Freedom Plaza — http://occupywashingtondc.org — or McPherson Square — http://occupydc.org — in Washington, D.C. You need not bring anything else. Together we can keep the DC occupations sheltered and fed and supplied with resources.

Occupy Wall Street is promising a "big day of action" Dec. 6 that will focus on the foreclosure crisis and protest "fraudulent lending practices," "corrupt securitization," and illegal evictions by banks.
The day will mark the beginning of an Occupy Our Homes campaign that organizers hope will energize the movement as it moves indoors as well as bring the injustices of the economic crisis into sharp relief.

Scott Kennedy, Former Mayor and Nonviolence Center Founder, Died Saturday
Scott Kennedy, who served 14 years on the Santa Cruz City Council, including two terms as mayor, died at home Saturday of an apparent heart attack.
Kennedy, 63, served on the city council from 1990-2004. He was mayor in 1993-1994 and again in 2003-2004.
"He was a leading advocate for affordable housing and for city funding for meeting human needs," said Vice Mayor Don Lane, who was shocked over the news. Friday Lane had made a date for lunch with Kennedy for next week.
Kennedy was a rare local politician who was also heralded on the international scene – not without controversy.
Supporters of Israel were critical of his support for Palestinians and his criticism of the Israeli government.
"I'm still not totally believing it," said Lane. "Our relationship was based on work in the community but we really were personal friends."
"It's a terrible blow to me and so many people," said Peter Klotz-Chamberlin, a co-founder of the Resource Center for Nonviolence.
"He really engaged in lots of issues. I think contributing to bringing Palestinian people into the American political awareness and discussion and policy was his biggest accomplishment.
"The way he went to Palestine some 40 times, established strong friendships with Palestinians and brought many of them here to tell of their life experience. It was important for Palestians and Americans trying to understand our relationship with the Palestinian struggle."
They started the Resource Center for Nonviolence in Santa Cruz in 1976 and Kennedy won the 2010 Pfeffer Peace Prize, an honor for international human rights, justice, and peace work by the Fellowship of Reconciliation.

National Lawyers Guild Files FOIA Requests Seeking Evidence of Federal Role in Occupy Crackdown

With Congress no longer performing its sworn role of defending the US Constitution, the National Lawyers Guild Mass Defense Committee and the Partnership for Civil Justice today filed requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) asking the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA and the National Parks Service to release "all their information on the planning of the coordinated law enforcement crackdown on Occupy protest encampments in multiple cities over the course of recent days and weeks."
Trade Unions Give Occupy Philly An Offer They Can't Refuse
By John Grant
With a $55 million construction contract "imminent" for Dilworth Plaza -- home since early October for Occupy Philadelphia – the city trade unions and those in Occupy Philly determined to hold-out in the Plaza have come to a showdown.
Everything in life is a dialogue with something, and that goes for the bottom-up/top-down dialogue known as the Occupy Movement. The Philadelphia Police are the well-armed arbiter in the middle of this dialogue with the city. The dialogue, however, just got more complicated with the entrance of the job-hungry trades union.
Rebellion in the Air: Quan's Quackery and Bloomberg's Bullshit
By Dave Lindorff
The scripted excuses provided by mayors around the country to justify their police-state tactics in rousting peaceful occupation movement activists from their park-based demonstrations now stand exposed as utter nonsense, and, given their uncanny similarity in wording, can be clearly seen as having been drawn up for them by some hidden hands in Washington. the same can be said of the brutal tactics used.
Eviction and Enlarged Freedom
By Charles M. Young
After watching the Packers beat the Vikings on Monday Night Football, I had insomnia, so it was kind of an accident that I checked my email at 2 a.m. and discovered the police were clearing Zuccotti Park. Everyone had been expecting an eviction since it all started on September 17, but not expecting it at that particular moment. On my cell phone, there were several frantic texts from Occupy Wall Street begging for community support. So I hopped on a slow subway and arrived at Chambers Street about 3 a.m.
Police State Tactics: Signs Point to a Coordinated National Program to Try and Unoccupy Wall Street and Other Cities
By Dave Lindorff
The ugly hand of the federal government is becoming increasingly suspected behind what appears to be a nationwide attempt to repress and evict the Occupation Movement.
Across the country in recent days, ultimatums have been issues to groups occupying Portland, OR, Chicago, IL, San Francisco, Dallas, TX, Atlanta, GA, and most recently New York, NY, where the Occupation Movement began on September 17. The two most recent eviction efforts, in Oakland and New York, have been the worst.

Including Non-Occupiers and Strengthening a Movement
You meet simply wonderful and incredibly smart people at nonviolent occupations. At least I do. I just met someone who knows exactly what they are talking about but does not want to be identified in any way other than by the name "Prof." Prof has been thinking about how to strengthen the Occupy movement, how to build a structure for it -- or rather how to allow it to build one itself, from the ground up, with ideas moving up levels of representation, not down as we're all so used to, and with people who cannot or will not or anyway do not sleep in public squares able to take part in a lasting and effective way. I cannot recommend too strongly that every Occupation look into this and click the links, hold trainings, and get this rolling. --David Swanson
Bradley Manning supporters face judge for attempting to lay flowers outside Quantico marine base
Four supporters of accused WikiLeaks whistle-blower PFC Bradley Manning appeared today before a judge in Manassas, Virginia, to face charges stemming from their arrests in March outside of a Marine military brig in Quantico, Virginia. These supporters were arrested along with many others who are outraged at the abusive confinement conditions to which PFC Manning was subjected during the eight months he was held at the Quantico Pre-Trial Confinement Facility. They were detained after military officials reneged on their offer to allow flowers to be placed at an Iwo Jima Memorial located at the entrance to the base.
Among those arrested attempting to lay flowers were veterans and family members of veterans, including Daniel Ellsberg, the "Pentagon Papers" whistle-blower. Instead of accepting their charges and paying fines, these four supporters pleaded not-guilty and chose to assert their First Amendment rights inside the courtroom.
Bradley Manning's Supporters Go on Trial
Baltimore Nonviolence Center
WHO: On March 20, 2011, thirty three activists, including Daniel Ellsberg who released the Pentagon Papers, were arrested outside the entrance to the Quantico Marine Base in Triangle, Virginia. The arrests took place on Route 1 after a rally condemning the torture of Pfc. Bradley Manning, an alleged whistleblower, then imprisoned in the Quantico brig. He was kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day at that time for a period of eight months and suffered other indignities. There was no conceivable justification for such degrading treatment, which brought back memories of the abuses committed in Abu-Ghraib.
Israeli Hijacking of Gaza Freedom Waves Boats "Violent and Dangerous"
Activists Badly Treated by Israeli Authorities
By Ann Wright
A press release from Irish Ship to Gaza (www.irishshiptogaza.org) reported that National Coordinator Fintan Lane was able to make a phone call Sunday afternoon, November 6, 2011, from the Israeli prison in which he and 13 other Irish citizens are being held.
Israeli attack on freedom waves ships "violent and dangerous"
Lane told the Irish Ship to Gaza team in Dublin that "the takeover of the MV Saoirse was violent and dangerous. Despite very clear protests from the occupants of the two boats that they did not want to be taken to Israel, they were forcibly removed from the boats in a violent manner. The whole takeover took about three hours."
Fatalities All Too Common: British Prime Minister Ignores Problem of Rampant Police Brutality
By Linn Washington Jr.
London -- For a dozen years they had marched peacefully to the street containing the residence of Britain's prime minister, asking the current occupant of #10 Downing Street to investigate the scourge ripping at the soul of this nation.
That scourge is the thousands of suspicious deaths occurring while in the custody of British police, in British prisons and in British mental health facilities.
Eight persons died in police custody just during the first nine months of 2011, according to official British government statistics. That's more than double the custody deaths last year.

These parents need to reassert control
A parent asks: What should I do when my 9-year-old daughter loses all of her privileges because of her misbehavior but refuses to go to her room? I tried to physically force her, but she put up too much of a fight. I feel like she's in complete control of our family. I'd have never disobeyed or disrespected my parents. What have I done wrong?
This parent -- just like a lot of other parents -- is beginning to realize that with rare exception, the advice dispensed by many so-called parenting experts over the past 50 years has been useless, counterproductive and even harmful. During that time, parenting has mutated from something people went about casually and confidently into a highly stressful endeavor (especially for women), and the mental health of America's kids has plummeted. To top it off, today's kids are misbehaving in ways that would have been unimaginable to a parent who raised children in the 1950s and before.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, America took the parenting road never traveled. The results have been disastrous. It's time we found our way back to the road well-traveled and realize that while times may change, fundamental principles should not.
Your daughter's behavior is not an indication that you're a bad parent. You're describing problems that are the logical consequence of treating a child as if the world revolves around her.
The good news is you're asking for help, which is step one in the right direction. The further good news is that this problem actually presents you with an opportunity to begin putting your daughter in her proper place and keeping her there. She won't like it at first, but restoring her childhood and teaching her that obedience is not just an option will do her a world of good in the long run.
While she's at school one day, confiscate all of her favorite things and put them somewhere she can't get to them. I recommend a rented storage closet or someone else's attic. Favorite things include not only electronics, favorite clothing, and favorite playthings, but also privileges such as sleepovers.
When her shock and outrage has calmed sufficiently, tell her that if she wants her things back, she has to do everything you tell her to do, without argument or any other form of pushback, for a month.
That includes going to her room if that's what you instruct. If she disobeys, the month begins anew the next day.

Shrimp Toast
I haven't had shrimp toast since I was a kid. And even then, I've only ever had it at restaurants.
A few weeks ago when I was watching The Taste, one of the contestants made shrimp toast and I was suddenly reminded of this dish I hadn't thought of in years, which made me want to try making it.
The recipe starts with a shrimp mousse which is actually just a few ingredients ground up in a food processor. Then you place spread it on the toast, dip it in breadcrumbs and fry it. And you're done. Easy!
I remember loving these as a kid but I was afraid it was one of those dishes I might have grown out of. But it turns out, I still really enjoy it! The exterior is crunchy, the inside is filled with a soft shrimp mix. I can't believe I hadn't thought to make this sooner. I'll definitely be making them again.
I love the toast side of these. They are so perfectly golden!
For this recipe, I adapted recipes found on Use Real Butter and The Way to His Heart, along with incorporating memories of the ones I ate as a child.
Shrimp Toast
1/2 lb shrimp, unpeeled and de-veined
1 egg
pinch of salt
2 scallions, finely chopped
5 slices of white bread, crusts removed, cut into triangles (4 triangles per slice of bread)
1 cup bread crumbs
oil for frying
1. Pulse shrimp, egg and salt in food processor until mostly smooth though some lumps in the shrimp mousse is fine. Add in scallions and pulse again just until the scallions are incorporated.
2. Spread shrimp mousse on top of each triangle, making sure to spread evenly across.
3. Add oil to pot being used for frying, about 1 inch deep. Bring oil to a medium high heat. Dip shrimp mousse side of toast into breadcrumbs, so that it covers the shrimp mousse. Place toast into hot oil, frying the shrimp side first. When it turns golden, turn it to the other side and fry until toast side is also golden. You can cook a few at a time. Serve warm. You can garnish with fresh herbs like scallions or parsley.
Adapted from The Way to His Heart and Use Real Butter

I haven't made shrimp toast in forever! Thanks for the reminder – it really is easy to make.
Huh, I have never heard of or had shrimp toast before. Looks really easy and sounds really tasty! I like how golden brown these look.
I've heard of shrimp toast but it seems I've never had it in my life. Your version looks great! I'll have to remedy it and try your recipe soon.
i have never had these / they look enticing / i just happen to have some shrimp, some green onions, and some panko crumbs / watch out, Kitchen, here i come!
I've never made shrimp toast, but I sure remember the first time I ate it. I loved it. Now I have a recipe. Thanks!
I love shrimp toast and have been looking for a recipe for a while now. I used to get it when my family would order the Pu Pu Platter. The Chinese restaurant that had this went out of business and I wasn't able to get it like I had in the past. I found it at one place ordered it and it was bad little golden hockey pucks…not the shrimp toast I had known and come to love. I recently found two restaurants that have it and I have reestablished my love of Shrimp Toast.

Pros: It wasnt DOA. Driver installation worked without an issue.
Cons: Very slow performance in Lenovo R500 laptop using the latest Intel drivers. Wireless N negotiated the full 300Mbps connection, but performance was sub-30Mbps (2-3MBs) within 10' of the access point. Product was slower than the Intel 5300 wireless card that it replaced (8-10 MBs consistently).

Another part in the PS is causing a short/overload. Not worth the time and money to desolder/replace more parts. Swapped with a PC Power and Cooling 400W.

LONDON (AFP) - Chelsea have been given permission to approach Newcastle United striker Demba Ba after making an offer that triggered a release clause in his contract, Newcastle confirmed on Wednesday.
Chelsea can now open talks with the 27-year-old Senegal striker after meeting the £7 million (S$14 million) asking price stipulated in his contract.
Ba, who joined Newcastle in 2011, was subsequently withdrawn from manager Alan Pardew's squad for the Premier League fixture at home to Everton on Wednesday evening.
"Newcastle United can confirm that Chelsea Football Club has made an official offer for Demba Ba which has triggered the release clause in the player's contract," Newcastle said in a statement.
"The club has given the player permission to speak to Chelsea FC and therefore he will not be included in the squad for tonight's (Wednesday's) game against Everton." Although Chelsea are yet to conclude a deal for Ba, Pardew expects the transfer to be completed shortly.
"It's done. He will go to Chelsea with our blessing," Pardew told Sky Sports, shortly before kick-off in the game against Everton.
"He has done fantastic for us and it's not a bad thing, all the uncertainty is now done and we can move on.
"This club is bigger than any player for sure." Ba has been a major success at St James' Park, scoring 16 league goals in his debut season and taking his total for the current campaign to 13 with a brace in the 7-3 loss at Arsenal on Saturday.
The Senegalese frontman made his name during a prolific four-year spell with German club Hoffenheim and joined English side West Ham United in January 2011 after a proposed move to Stoke City collapsed due to a failed medical examination.
He scored seven goals in 12 games for West Ham but left to join Newcastle after the London club were relegated at the end of the 2010-11 season.
Meanwhile, French right-back Mathieu Debuchy arrived in Newcastle on Wednesday to begin talks over a move to the club.
The 27-year-old Lille defender travelled to Newcastle after the two clubs reportedly agreed a fee for his transfer over the weekend.

Two live-action films based on the ''Franchise/TombRaider'' video game franchise, starring Creator/AngelinaJolie as Lara Croft.
The first film, ''Lara Croft: Tomb Raider'', was released in 2001. Lara is off looking for the Triangle of Light, which TheIlluminati seek in order to control time. She has until the planetary alignment to do so, and has rival/love interest Alex West (Creator/DanielCraig) in her way.
The second film, ''Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life'', has Lara in search of PandorasBox. Evil scientist Jonathan Reiss ([[Creator/CiaranHinds Ciarán Hinds]]) seeks to weaponise the contents of Pandora's Box for biological warfare. Lara is paired with mercenary and former love interest Terry Sheridan (Creator/GerardButler), an ex-SAS man who betrayed the country and gets his chance to pay penance. While the first movie embraced its video game roots, the second attempts to insert a little actual drama and tries to take itself seriously as an action-adventure flick -- so seriously that some considered it not fun enough. It was also considerably more violent than the first film (which as noted above had actually received a family-friendly seal of approval).
!!Both films provide examples of:
%%* ActionGirl
* AlternateContinuity: To the games, of course. (Of course, the games themselves have no less than [[ContinuityReboot three different continuities]], just to add to the confusion.)
* BadassBookworm: Lara Croft, full stop. She actually does some of her fight training in her library.
* BambooTechnology: Most of mechanisms are this or [[{{Magitek}} magic]].
* BigBraToFill: Angelina Jolie wore padding in the first film to appear more like the famously busty character, but didn't in the second film.
%%* BraidsOfAction: Lara.
* CaliforniaDoubling:
** Iceland as Siberia in first film.
** Scotland as China for the Great Wall sequence in the second.
* CombatPragmatism: ZigZagged with RuleOfCool. Especially obvious in first film during the fight with some animated statues in collecting the first half of the Triangle.
* GunsAkimbo: Lara is duel wielding pistols. It's ''Franchise/TombRaider'', what did you expect?
%%* HollywoodActionHero
%%* MaleGaze: TheMovie.
%%* MrFanservice: Alex West and Terry Sheridan.
%%* MsFanservice: Lara Croft, naturally.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** Real Life Designs the Costumes: The second film puts Lara in more outfits with longer sleeves. This was done because the makeup used to conceal Angelina Jolie's tattoos during the filming of the first film was not as effective as it was supposed to be.
** The scene in the first film where there is a large procession of Buddhist monks was not originally in the script. Simon West decided to shoot it because the monks just happened to be having their procession, and agreed to be filmed for the movie.
** The "duck boat" transports at the end of the first film were spotted on location, and the filmmakers requested to borrow them because they looked cool.
* RetCanon:
** The success of the first movie led to certain elements to appear in the Crystal Dynamics [[ContinuityReboot reboot]] of the game series. The most notable is Lara's dad being an archaeologist named Richard. The main hall of Croft Manor in those games also has a very similar layout to the version in the films.
** Appears to carry over into the [[VideoGame/TombRaider2013 2013 reboot]] as well, when Grim mentions Lara's father "Dicky Croft." VideoGame/RiseOfTheTombRaider also seems to reference the first film with Lara continuing one of her father's expeditions after he was killed by the antagonists.
%%* RoleCalled
%%* RuleOfCool: TheMovie.
%%* ScaryBlackMan
!!The first film provides examples of:
* ActionPrologue: The film opens with Lara fighting a giant robot. This has no bearing on the rest of the plot, and is markedly different in tone from the rest of the film. Of course, it ''was'' just a training simulation.
* AGodAmI: That's how Illuminati sees the power of time travel in the first film.
* AmmunitionBackpack: Lara could reload her pistols using a [[http://i.imgur.com/FKsrRhA.gif mechanism in her backpack]] called "bandolier tree" in the {{Novelization}}.
* AncientConspiracy: The Illuminati are seeking the Triangle of Light, and the power it grants to control time. The film hints they've been seeking it for generations, with the artifact itself resembling the all-seeing eye that is part of the film Illuminati's symbology.
* AncientArtifact: The Triangle of Light, an ancient artifact granting its bearer the power to control time.
* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Pretty much everything to do with the planetary alignment in the first movie.
* BattleButler: When Lara's mansion is being invaded by Manfred's men in the first film, Hillary dons a bulletproof vest and wields a shotgun. [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome Too bad we never get to see him do anything.]] He shoots from the upper level at the mercenaries breaking into the vault. Unfortunately, he's outgunned.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Lara and Alex in ''spades''. Dialogue between them when they first meet at the auction suggests they once had a history together, and Alex doesn't like that they're always fighting.
* BetweenMyLegs: During the fight between Lara and the robot.
* BookEnds: The film starts and ends with Lara fighting her [[DeadlyTrainingArea training robot SIMON]].
* BulletproofHumanShield: [[TheDragon Powell]] grabs one of his Mooks to [[KickTheDog block a thrown spear]]. One he could've easily dodged.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The poster for the first film featured Lara in her trademark short shorts and tank top. In the actual film, she doesn't wear this clothes combo at any point; in the first action sequence, she's wearing the short shorts but has a t-shirt, and later in the film, she's wearing her sleeveless shirt but wears long pants with it.
* CasualDangerDialogue: "Julius, make a mental note. Kill Miss Croft if she attempts any such thing."
* DismantledMacguffin: The Triangle of Light is split into two pieces that were "hidden at the ends of the earth". [[spoiler: Then it turns out that the actual number is three]].
%%* DungeonCrawling: Rather self-explanationary.
* FacelessGoons: During the attack on the mansion the {{Mooks}} are wearing either noctovisors or balaclavas. Or both.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Manfred Powell, with bits of AmbitionIsEvil. He works for Illuminati, sure. He ''is'' Illuminati. But he don't give a damn about their schemes [[spoiler: so he kills the leader in order to take the Triangle of Light for himself and no-one else.]]
* KlingonPromotion: How [[spoiler: Powell]] seized control.
* LandmarkOfLore: Probably the most obvious one - Angkor Wat.
* LivingStatue: Available both in human and huge sizes.
* MissingTrailerScene: "This is where I start to have fun."
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Happens just in the opening with SIMON. And then there is a huge statue, which is also assembling swords for [[DualWielding quadruple wielding]], and is a nod to the franchise's video game roots, specifically ''[[VideoGame/TombRaiderIII Tomb Raider III]]''.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Both Alex and Powell. Lara also counts, since [[spoiler:when she teams up with the bad guys, she does that only to get the artifact for herself.]]
* NotSoDifferent: Alex takes this position in regards to himself at Lara. When Lara accuses him of theft, Alex retorts that ''she's'' the tomb raider.
* NoodleIncident: Between Lara and Alex. At some point Alex stole a prayer wheel from her, which seems to be the source of Lara's antagonism towards her. Alex at first denies it, before changes tack and says it's not like she ''actually'' owned it.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Daniel Craig does a good job as an American, but slips up a bit on certain words/phrases.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney:
** Alex is a [[PunchClockVillain tomb raider]] [[HiredGuns for hire]] and doesn't really care about whole Illuminati scheme to TakeOverTheWorld.
** The [[HiredGuns mercenaries]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere just walk away]] once [[spoiler: Powell dies]] and they won't get any more money.
* OurTimeMachineIsDifferent: The Triangle of Light. It's never explained how it's actually working, so it can be also OurTimeTravelIsDifferent.
%%* {{Overcrank}}: Utilized in the finale.
* SceneryCensor: Daniel Craig's privates are blocked by a conveniently placed chair when Lara interrupts him in the shower.
%%* SceneryPorn: Cambodian part.
* ScrewDestiny: Thanks to TimeTravel, Alex survives, and Powell [[AttackBackfire is badly wounded with his own knife]], but Lara's father is still dead, so it's ZigZagged with YouCantFightFate.
* ShoutOut:
** To ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' just watch carefully how Lara deals with a stone statue that is showboating with its sword.
** The first film includes two to director Simon West: the last name of the main male character Alex West, and the training robot [[RobotNames S.I.M.O.N.]].
* ShowerScene: Male and female shower scenes. Lara has one at the beginning of the film after her training sequence. Alex later has one in Cambodia which is interrupted by Lara.
%%* SmugSnake: Manfred Powell.
%%* {{Stripperiffic}}: Some of Lara's outfits.
%%* TempleOfDoom: The final site in Siberia.
* TimeStandsStill: One of the functions of the Triangle of Light.
* UnderwaterKiss: Lara Croft does this on her rival Alex West after he got shot.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Powell tried to pull it on Lara. Twice. [[spoiler: Not that it worked]].
%%* WhenThingsSpinScienceHappens: The Triangle of Light.
* WickedCultured: Powell again. He speaks with a cultured British accent, has a ''massage'' in his camp in Cambodia, among other things.
* YouCantThwartStageOne: The movie would have ended a lot sooner if Lara Croft had followed her father's instructions and destroyed her half of the Triangle of Light. Or her father could smash it instead of leaving it to her with instruction to destroy. Or 5000 years ago, if one considers that the individuals that had separated the Triangle could have [[NoManShouldHaveThisPower simply destroyed the pieces]], instead of [[ForgottenSuperweapon hiding them]] at the corners of the Earth.
* YouKilledMyFather: Powell reveals he killed Lara's father just before the two fight at the end of the first film.
!!The second film provides examples of:
%%* ArtifactOfDeath: PandorasBox in the second film.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The roaring (and whimpering) shark.
* BattleButler: Hillary acts as a sparring partner for Lara and handles himself quite well... until he makes Lara angry at him (as she was angry at the villains already.)
* BelligerentSexualTension: Lara and Sheridan. Sheridan is a former lover that Lara openly distrusts, and they share a steamy makeout session partway through the film. [[spoiler: And then they come into conflict over the disposition of Pandora's Box at the end of the film. Lara is forced to kill him to prevent him from taking it.]]
* BoxedCrook: How Lara acquires the services of her old lover Terry Sheridan.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Jonathan Reiss [[spoiler: is thrown into the acid that surrounds the cradle and is melted alive, screaming all the while.]]
%%* DramaticLandfallShot
* DoubleEntendre: When a [[{{Fanservice}} bikini-clad]] Lara gets in the boat after having splashed some men while riding her jetski:
--> '''Lara''': Hello, boys. You're all wet.
* DurableDeathtrap: Present in both films, but taken UpToEleven in the second.
* HollywoodGeography: If the establishing shots of Croft's travels in China were to be taken literally, it means that she landed somewhere in the Yangtze River Valley in Hubei (in south central China), rode a motorcycle all the way to the Great Wall in northern China, then turned around and went back south to Xi'an for the fight in the Terracotta Tomb, and then went to Shanghai as she originally intended--that's about 4000 kilometers in rough terrain and she covered it all in a single afternoon.
* MadScientist: Jonathan Reiss is a cross between this and CorruptCorporateExecutive.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: The establishing character moment for the bioterrorist/scientist villain of the second movie, [[LargeHam Jonathan Reiss]], is him in a private jet with his clients. He [[BloodFromTheMouth poisons]] one who snitched on him to Interpol, intoning "this is the sound of a traitor dying" as he gurgles his last.
* SealedEvilInACan: PandorasBox - MeaningfulName, isn't it?
* TookALevelInBadass: Although she kicked ass and knocked off a few mooks in the first time, in this second movie, Lara acts more like a female James Bond with a licence to kill, leaving behind a high body count and outright [[ChekovsGun warning]] Sheridan that she is perfectly capable and willing to kill him if necessary.

Just hours remain until the start of the 2011 MLB draft, and for the first time in three years, there's no overwhelming favorite for the No. 1 overall pick. Although UCLA righty Gerrit Cole is the likely choice for the Pittsburgh Pirates' top selection, it wouldn't be implausible for Pittsburgh to go with Rice's Anthony Rendon or Virginia's Danny Hultzen instead.
We'll find out for certain what the Pirates are doing when the draft begins at 7 P.M. Eastern time, when it will stream live on MLB.com. After tonight's first-round and supplemental-round picks, the remaining 49 rounds will take place over the next two days (starting at noon Eastern each day).
As often, pitching is likely to be the story of the first round. In addition to Cole and the left-handed Hultzen, Cole's UCLA teammate Trevor Bauer and high-schooler Archie Bradley are among the likely top selections.
The deep crop of pitchers could be especially good news for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who boast two picks in the top 10. Arizona's own No. 3 pick is supplemented by a No. 7 compensatory selection after the club was unable to sign 2010 first-rounder Barret Loux.
Read on for all the latest buzz on which prospects are heading where as the draft approaches.

I used to work at Best Buy, so I've still got a couple ins there, and can find out the next shipment of Wiis, and possibly have a buddy back in the warehouse set one aside. So if all goes well, sometime this next week I'll be playin my new Wii.

Writing as B.B. Pelletier
This report covers:
- Airguns are easy to use
- Airguns are quiet
- Airguns cock easily
- Airguns are accurate
- Airguns have good sights
- What about plastic?
- Triggers
- What have I missed?
- Why is this in the history section?
I celebrate my victories quietly. One of them has been to expose the elements of classic airgun design, so people who need to know can understand what it takes to make something timeless and enduring. We all know that the airgun manufacturers are silent readers of this blog and its comments. Today I am dedicating this report to them — a compilation of design aspects that will ensure a classic airgun. I'll tell you why at the end of the report.
Airguns are easy to use
Yes, there are people who only shoot airguns. Before I wrote this blog I had no idea there were so many of them, but there are. They are a sizable element of the shooting population and designers need to be aware of them. But their numbers are overwhelmed by the number of firearms shooters who also shoot airguns from time to time. And why do they do it? Because airguns are easy to shoot. I can pick up a Diana 27 and snap off 5 shots at targets of opportunity before you can pack your AR-15 with bipod and sniper scope into that oversized black tactical bag! And we both know the rifle isn't all you need to go to the range. You load the car with stuff, while I carry my 6-pound breakbarrel in one hand, and a tin of pellets in my pocket.

BEIJING - It is beautiful, the tale of 23-year-old Sudanese immigrant Lopez Lomong, his 17-year journey from Lost Boy to flag bearer for the United States Olympic team.
"His story is the epitome of the American dream," said Mark Lopez, a taekwondo contender and first-generation Nicaraguan-American.
It is significant, too; cleverly, and wonderfully.
As atrocities in Darfur and China's cozy relationship with Sudan shadow these Olympics, Lomong yesterday retold his story to an assembled international media audience. He told of his kidnapping, his escape, his 10 years in a refugee camp from ages 6 to 16, his attainment of an unimaginable dream - moving to America to emulate his hero, U.S. track star Michael Johnson.
