All framed art prints include wall hanging hardware.
At one point, you are backed up at the corner so bad that all you can do, to hide away from the big bad monsters in this world, is to sit and hopefully awaiting for a bright light to shine at the end the tunnel. You get so caught up with the situation that you loose yourself and you can't find that light ... but you can never see the light by waiting, why, because you ARE the light.
Here's a helping hand, two helping hands, to help you see the light.
Thanks for the support buddy! :D

Nowhere near enough people saw Jess Feast's hour-long 2008 documentary Cowboys and Communists, which anatomised the problematic relationship between a heavy-metal bar and its unreconstructed communist neighbour in the former East Berlin.
This less left-field offering is certain to find a wider audience: it's a portrait of super-gardener Sister Loyola Galvin of the Home of Compassion in Island Bay, Wellington. A 90-year-old who could easily pass for 75, she gets about the expansive grounds of the order's headquarters, tending plots, raising seedlings, making compost. All the best documentaries have a strong lead character and Sister Loyola is a cracker. A precise and unfussy worker, she sprinkles the footage of her husbandry with her plain-spoken observations about life: kids are like seedlings, she says; if they don't get a good start they will struggle to thrive. She also talks about the importance of separating wants and needs and, never immodestly, about her life of service and the meaning of love.
Dividing the film into chapters corresponding to the four seasons - it opens, strikingly, with snow flurries - Feast (thanks to photographers Gareth Moon, Ari Wegner and Hamish Waterhouse) has created a beautiful portrait of the contemplative life and drawn out her subject's quirky and self-effacing charm.
But stretched out to feature length, the film loses focus at times; a sterner hand in the editing room might have paid dividends. It is also hampered by Feast's intrusive presence as a voice posing questions, many of which should have been edited out and some of which, such as the one about whether Sister Loyola had "ever had an epiphany" are clumsy, even embarrassing. Still, it's not enough to mar a very pleasant 90 minutes in the presence of a wise and inspiring woman.
Stars: 3.5/5
Director: Jess Feast
Running time: 96 mins
Rating: G
Verdict: Charming portrait of a 90-year-old gardening nun

M&S wine buyer moves to Harrods
Marks & Spencer wine buyer Jo Ahearne MW is to leave the supermarket to become Harrods' wine and spirits buyer in mid-November.
Ahearne has worked for M&S since 2004 and will replace Alistair Viner, who left the famous London department store in June this year after 16 years service.
Viner is currently working on a new London retail concept called Blackdown Wines, which has offices in Belgravia.
Viner said that news of the shop's location will be revealed in "two to three months", along with further information such as the wine range and positioning.
Meanwhile, Ahearne, who gained her Master of Wine qualification in 2008, is currently responsible for Spain, Italy, Australia and New Zealand at M&S.
She was formerly a consultant winemaker, working in Spain and France, as well as Australia, where she made Jacob's Creek.
Ahearne began her career over 20 years ago stacking crates in Oddbins.

I've done this same swap to a '76 so I can give you some pointers. The motor mounts on the frame remain in the same place, you will just need the metal "shell" engine bracket(motor mount cup) for a '75-87 SBC car. Truck mount cups are taller and won't fit correctly. Trans behind the six is more likely to be a TH250 (mine was) so look at it close. A TH350 will bolt in its place with no trouble. The six cars frequently came with the spindly 7.5" rear(mine did), but the V8 Nova or Camaro/Firebird 8.5" rear is a bolt in. The 7.5 is easy to identify by the two 3/8" long "fangs" that stick down from the casting below the rear cover at about the 4 and 8 o'clock position. The 8.5" will have a 1", square cornered 1/2 block at the same spots. Distributor and alternator wiring will need to be re-routed, and the power steering pump will need to have it's brackets changed to V8 type. Alternator and starter can be re-used, you might have to change the throttle cable. I was building a street/strip car so I left the sixer front springs in, and it did sit low with a V8. Sway bar was the same as a V8 car, if you want a bigger one look to the '70-81 Camaro/Firebird. The rest (belts. hoses, etc.) is stock V8 Nova. It is a pretty easy swap, done in a day if you have all the parts.

Cat problems
I need some advice. I have been really working with my 3.5 month old pup to get him to stop play fighting with my cat, but I'm running into an issue.
Whenever I try and work with my dog on behaving around the cat, he's perfectly fine. If he is leashed to me he doesn't even attempt to bother the cat. If treats are out he won't even look at the cat. But, as soon as he isn't leashed to me or there isn't food around he goes totally bonkers and starts play fighting with the cat. The cat is absolutely NO help as he instigates the dog and will start play fights with them. I would say it is 50/50 between who starts the play fighting.
It's like it isn't sticking with him that he's supposed to behave around the cat all the time. As soon as he realizes there's no reward for being nice to the cat, he just goes for it.
I keep him blocked off in my living room with baby gates, but the cat likes to jump the gates and come in. I have lots of toys for him available, but literally as soon as I turn my back they're at it. It's driving me nuts. He won't even respond to commands when he is focused on the cat.
My female was like that with the cats. The cats were not afraid of her and would start with her all the time. I taught her leave it and it worked sometimes. She completely grew out of it as she got older and now she sleeps with them. My male wants to play with them but he is to big and to vocal, just overbearing, he is a work in progress.

I suspect almost all of these were added into EPEL because RHEL did not ship them on all arches. The current guidelines for this have us requiring a _lower_ version, but in the past before we had this hashed out the advise was 'the same version'. I'm not really sure how to fix these now. We could unpush them and push out older versions, but then anyone who had the others installed would never ever see updates. > HIGHER VERSION IN EPEL ...snip... > Some of these have been corrected and the rest now have bugs filed > against them.

Likely they are from when something was in EPEL only and was added later in a newer RHEL minor release. It would be good to clean them up. kevin

But court records of eyewitness testimony also show frailty in those accounts. The victim testified that Carl Salisbury came to her aid for no more than a few minutes. Salisbury himself testified that this confrontation was 10 to 15 minutes long. Each disagreed as to where the suspect was holding the knife.
Moreover, Spivey testified that Salisbury saw him in his jail cell on the Saturday evening before he identified him the next day, an assertion that the prosecution did not dispute. The victim identified Spivey out of a set of photographs two days after the attack, after he'd already been reported as her likely assailant.
In recent years, eyewitness identification procedures have become a sensitive subject. "It is a problem if the eyewitness has seen the suspect before, either in jail or in the media," says Bill Brooks, deputy chief of the Wellesley Police Department in Massachusetts and a nationally recognized expert on eyewitness identification policy. "The witness can think they're recognizing the person from a scene, but it actually comes from a different place."
Salisbury identified Spivey in a line up. Brooks says line-ups are effective, provided that the fillers are as identical to the alleged offender as possible. However, Spivey was identified in a line up alongside three others, he told the court. The ages ranged from 19 to 45, the heights varied from five-feet nine-inches to six-foot three. One man was a "drunk" who had on "raggedy" clothes, Spivey said.
Spivey's defense got a boost when Michael Steven Garcia, a recreational supervisor for the city of Providence, came forward. He was involved in a card game on the second floor of a building on Taylor Street on the evening of the incident, about 30 yards from where Spivey was arrested.
Garcia testified that at some point in the evening he heard several gunshots, and looked out of his window. He saw Spivey alone, walking down the road, with nobody in pursuit of him, before he was approached by police from behind and assaulted by a group of a dozen officers.
The victim testified that her attacker was fully clothed throughout the attack, removing only his genitals from the zipper of his pants. She told the court that he punched her repeatedly in the face when she refused to undress, knocking her unconscious. He strangled her to the point of suffocation to prevent her screaming and beat her again after she bit him. Dr. Nabil Y. Khoury, who treated the victim in the emergency room, told the court that she had suffered extensive bruising to her face and body, as well as multiple scratches and what appeared to be bite marks on her body.
But despite the long period they allegedly spent in violent proximity, there was little to tie Spivey to the victim.
Forensic tests showed that there had been no transfer in textile fibers between victim and suspect. No remnants of skin or flesh were found under Spivey's fingernails. According to testimony, the victim's underpants, panty hose, pants, and scarf were all significantly bloodied; Spivey had a very small amount of blood on his underpants, that was reported by the FBI examiner to be too insignificant in size to test, and there was some blood on the green pants that were in his possession — the pants, Spivey claimed, that he'd borrowed from his brother.
FBI Special Agent Thomas Curran took the stand on October 27, a week after the trial had opened. He testified that a small amount of type O blood was found on the green pants in Spivey's possession, and that the victim had type O blood on her clothes. The blood found on the green pants "tended to implicate" Spivey, media would later report.
No blood samples were taken from either victim or suspect. Prison medical records confirm that Spivey has type O blood, a trait he shares with more than 40 percent of the general population and half of all African Americans.

Record of Telephone Conversation - GLASSIA, May 20, 2010
Submission Type: BLA
Submission ID: 125325/0
Office: OBRR
Product: Alpha-1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human)
Applicant: Kamada Ltd.
Telecon Date/Time: 20-May-2010 09:30 AM
Initiated by FDA? Yes
Telephone Number: Communication Categorie(s): 1. Information Request
Author: CHERIE WARD-PERALTA
Telecon Summary: Request for updated PMR/PMC Letter
FDA Participants: L. Ross Pierce, Ewa Marszal, Jennifer Reed, Dorothy Scott, and Cherie Ward-Peralta
Non-FDA Participants: None
Trans-BLA Group: No
Related STNs: None
Related PMCs: None
Telecon Body: FDA requested a telecon with Kamada to discuss clinical post-marketing requirements (PMR) and commitments (PMC) for Alpha-1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human).
Before the meeting began, FDA asked if Kamada performs -(b)(4)- visual inspections of the product during the packaging of the product and if this is a limited inspection.
Kamada confirmed visual inspections are done on the vials, and a filament inspection as stated in our responses within the recent amendments submitted to the BLA.
FDA requested Kamada to convert the requested Phase IV study in which they will measure viral PCR and anti-Alpha1-PI antibodies to a Post-Marketing Requirement, and to provide absolute (not relative to the date FDA accepts the protocol) calendar dates corresponding to estimated milestones for submission of a final protocol, start of the trial, completion of enrollment, completion of the study, and submission of the final study report to the BLA for all PMR/PMC.
The PMR study should also include design features which will permit the detection of possible adverse events (AEs) due to the presence of particulates in the product. The 5-week washout period needs to be justified or omitted and FDA recommends using a single licensed comparator rather than multiple comparators. The protocol needs to indicate which specific viral safety tests are to be performed at which time points. FDA requested Kamada to provide clarification regarding their statement in the protocol outline that each subject is to participate for 64 weeks since the treatment duration for the study is listed as 12 weeks.
Regarding the clinically meaningful endpoint stage 1 study, FDA requested to include the study duration, and power calculations used to determine the proposed sample size for the study. The first study needs a reasonable sample size to be able to estimate the magnitude of the treatment effect in order to determine the sample size needed for the for the adequately powered stage 2 efficacy study. Other sponsors are conducting a fully powered stage 1 study, but this is for you to choose, i.e., whether to try to obtain a conclusive result from your initial study.
FDA requested the sponsor to provide a justification for the schedule of the CT exams.
Kamada stated this information will be updated and provided to FDA. The dates could not be provided earlier as we are negotiating a collaborative study as suggested for the stage 2 clinical study.
FDA stated the option to consider a collaborative study (factorial design) was made only in regards to the Fully Powered Stage 2 study, since the latter may require substantial investment in time for recruiting. Also, each product is unique; FDA does not allow the efficacy results of one product to be included in the labeling of another product.
Kamada asked if FDA would accept the Stage 1, fully powered study, as a collaborative study.
FDA has not discussed this option as we originally expected the sponsor to have the resources to perform this with their own product. The number of subjects proposed should be used with your product at a minimum, but further discussion would be needed within the division if Kamada wishes to pursue a stage 1 collaborative study.
Kamada will provide a revised letter of commitment shortly and consider additional suggestions regarding study design after the approval.
FDA also recommended for the BAL Phase IV clinical study to include a small control group to allow detection of a problem with sample handling versus a problem with their product.
Kamada informed FDA that it may be difficult to recruit subjects for a BAL comparative study as the subjects may be participating in another study.
FDA recommended including naïve subjects or someone previously using Kamada Alpha1-PI in the BAL study with a perhaps a 3:1 or 4:1 randomization over the comparator. Kamada can also enroll anyone with previous Alpha1-PI products with a month washout period.
Kamada agreed including a comparator arm in the BAL study, but their original suggestion of utilizing one arm was due to recruitment difficulties, especially with an age criteria and meeting the timelines of the study.
FDA agrees to the proposal of enrolling a total of 16 subjects in the BAL study, if Kamada ensures in enrolling evaluable subjects.
Kamada will contact FDA if there is a delay in recruiting subjects.
FDA suggested the possible use of previously frozen samples from the pivotal study to perform NAT testing for viruses, but should include data on how the analytes maintain in those storage conditions. The BAL study primary endpoint should be both antigenic and functional A1-PI levels in ELF after 10-12 weeks of treatment, not antigenic or functional A1-PI levels. Depending on the size of the comparator group, in addition to changes in ELF analytes from baseline to 10-12 weeks, we recommend you analyze as an exploratory analysis the difference between treatment groups in 10-12 week values using the baseline value as a co-variate.
FDA informed Kamada the revised letter of commitment should enumerate the three goals of the Phase IV PMR study, and the revision of your table of the PMR/PMCs with calendar milestone dates. A written information request will be provided with all the requested and recommended information for the PMR and PMC. We request a response to be provided by May 28, and the more detailed recommended changes to the clinical protocols may be provided on the date written in the information request. FDA informed Kamada the possibility that the validation report for antibody testing may be converted to a PMR after discussions with the Safety Working Group, and CMC PMCs will be requested in the near future.
End of Meeting

Stocks drilled lower in weak trade early Friday, with tech issues leading the retreat.
The Nasdaq dropped 1%. The Dow Jones industrial average shed 0.7% and the S&P 500 downshifted 0.5%. Volume was down 27% on the Nasdaq and a fraction lower on the NYSE.
The stock market today felt some pressure, alongside other global markets, from continuing conflict in Ukraine. Earnings news drove the bulk of the week's most dramatic action. The influence of economic news was basically a wash.
Consumer sentiment ended the week's calendar on a positive note, with the University of Michigan putting its final April Consumer Sentiment Index reading at 84.1. That was well above expectations for 82.1 and the gauge's best performance in at least five months.
In stocks, chipmakers buzzed in early action. Broadcom (BRCM) swooned 5% in heavy trade. Cirrus LogicCRUS powered up 5% in equally busy volume.
Leading stocks moldered, with only a few IBD 50 stocks rising at the start of trade.
Synaptics (SYNA), which beat quarterly expectations late Thursday, surged 6%, seizing the high ground among IBD 50 stocks.
A Needham report upgraded the maker of touchscreen and fingerprint recognition technologies to strong buy from buy, and raised its price target to 100 from 70. The report cited powerful acceptance of fingerprint recognition technologies on top of continued strength in Synaptics' core touchscreen markets.
The stock is just above a cup-base buy point of 67.21.
On the downside, Alliance Fiber Optic (AFOP) tumbled 8%, despite a healthy first-quarter earnings beat. Revenue edged above consensus projections, and management's Q2 revenue guidance topped forecasts. The stock reversed the week's 12% gain to a 2% loss.
The dollar was flat vs. the euro and slightly lower against the yen. Gold climbed 1% to clear the $1,300 mark. Oil fell more than 1%, dropping below $101 a barrel.

Mill Creek Fire blows up to more than 720 acres outside Frenchtown
MISSOULA, Mont. - The Mill Creek Fire, which sparked Thursday afternoon just northeast of Frenchtown, has now burned more than 720 acres.
Fire officials tell NBC Montana they are making progress on the blaze and currently have more than 175 crewmembers on the scene.
No injuries have been reported, and so far all the homes and structures in the area are safe.
The fire, which started just after 2 p.m. Thursday, forced fire officials to give voluntary evacuation notices to residents living on Mill Creek Road, Fred Lane, Bunchgrass Court and Grooms Road.
Fire officials say the cause of the fire is still under investigation but they believe a lawnmower may have started the blaze.
Officials say weather is a concern with predicted winds and possible thunderstorm activity.
A fire information hotline is available for residents. You can call (406) 258-4636.
The Missoula County Sheriff's Office released maps of the evacuation areas Thursday evening. While the notices are voluntary, officials say they are strongly encouraged. To look at the Frenchtown area map click here. For the Evaro area click here.
Officials and evacuees are meeting at the church at the bottom of Mill Creek Road. We are told large animals can be evacuated to the Western Montana Fairgrounds and small animals can be evacuated to the Missoula Animal Control Shelter.
Missoula Animal Control is coordinating care for evacuated animals and working with Missoula County Fairgrounds on plans to board large animals if needed. Call 541-7387 for information.
Firefighters will work through the night on the Mill Creek Fire, hoping to take advantage of cooler temperatures and humidity overnight.

My Dog Deserves an MFA. No, Seriously.
I first noticed that my dog, Roxy Hess, had artistic intentions when she left a forceful and unmistakable message on the floor of the studio we share. Slow human that I am, I hadn't realized that Roxy was not only on top of the latest developments in the artworld, she was running amongst the pack leaders.

The business of scouting is the business of trying to predict the future.
When in the business of predicting the future, especially a future as wrought
with potential pitfalls athletes face, scouts are going to have hits and
misses. If there were no variables involved, every top-five pick would be a
superstar and there would be no way an undrafted free agent becomes a two-time NFL
That being said, a combination of elite physical ability, work ethic and character can make the most coveted of high school recruits stay the course to become superstars on the game's highest level. Here is a look at five players who were ranked among the Top 10 high school prospects in the country in 2008 and are likely to be first-round draft picks in April's NFL Draft.
Wide receivers A.J. Green and Julio Jones
Then: No. 2 and No. 1 receivers '08
Now: No. 1 and No. 2 receivers '11
It seems apropos to list Georgia's A.J. Green (6-foot-4, 190 pounds) and Alabama's Julio Jones (6-4, 220) together as the two have been linked since their sophomore year in high school as the South's next great receiver. They were the top members of the great receiver class of 2008. College scouts speak of that receiving class the way pro scouts refer to the quarterback class of 1983.
An attribute more important than size, speed and hands combined is one that has stuck with Green and Jones while setting back several of their classmates: health. Green and Jones have managed to avoid the injury bug that set back the careers of two other can't-miss receivers, Southern Miss' DeAndre Brown and Notre Dame's Michael Floyd.
While having similar size, Green and Jones have always played a different game. Green is a lean, graceful receiver who has effortless body control. Like a cat able to always land on its feet, Green can always get two hands on the ball by contorting his body in the air. Generously listed at 190 pounds coming out of high school, Green has become a much stronger player at Georgia, but he was still wiry strong with that same size and grace on the prep level.
Jones was the power forward of the two. A rock-solid 200-plus pounds, Jones had the speed to run past defenders and the power to plow through them. Jones stepped on campus at Alabama capable of pushing around defensive backs. Jones had the skill to play a finesse game but seemed to enjoy the rough-and-tumble aspects of football, which he also displayed while playing defense for his Foley team.
The 2008 rankings concluded with Jones being ranked ahead of Green, because he possessed a similar skill set and he already had the college-ready body. Heading into the NFL Draft, Green is ranked ahead of Jones because he has made up ground in the size and strength departments while possessing more explosion and big-play capability.
The Green and Jones debate, which began in 2005, is likely to continue for another 10 years, as both players possess the physical ability and work ethic to be stars on the next level.
Green High School Highlights:
Jones High School Highlights:
Cornerback Patrick Peterson (6-1, 222) - LSU
Then: No. 1 cornerback '08
Now: No. 1 cornerback '11
Peterson had a safety frame at 6-1 and 193 pounds, but he had the agility of a cornerback. Unafraid of competition, Peterson would travel from camp to camp, combine to combine to challenge the nation's top receivers, a challenge he typically won.
Peterson didn't give up the ball completely, though, as he became an All-American return man in addition to his work at cornerback for LSU. Peterson filled out his frame in his time at college and is listed at 222 pounds on LSU's roster. He has been a jumbo corner for his entire career, and he always has been physical enough to see time at safety.
Peterson was the rare skill player who excelled on both sides of the ball but preferred playing defense from the beginning. When it came to picking a No. 1 corner in 2008, there was only one choice. He should be the first corner off the board in 2011, as well.
Peterson High School Highlights:
Defensive end Da'Quan Bowers (6-4, 275) - Clemson
Then: No. 1 defensive end '08
Now: No. 1 defensive end '11
Bowers was a grown man when he arrived on campus at a listed 6-4, 265 pounds. Many high school defensive ends with that size end up at tackle by the time their careers are over, offensive or defensive. Bowers was different. Bowers was what strength and conditioning coaches refer to as a finished product. Of course he had room to improve, but his gains at Clemson weren't going to be meteoric, and they didn't need to be for him to be an elite athlete.
Bowers led Clemson's defensive linemen in tackles as a freshman, but he battled the injury bug as a sophomore before it all came together for him as a junior with 15.5 sacks. His burst off the ball and leverage needed to be harnessed and refined at Clemson, but in high school he was literally a man among boys. He played running back, returned kicks, and he was unblockable at defensive end.
Bowers has few peers athletically, but his passion for the game and desire to win are also unmatched. He was Scout's No. 2 player behind Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor, and it's likely he won't have to wait beyond the second spot in the draft to hear his name called.
Bowers High School Highlights:
Offensive tackle Tyron Smith (6-5,280) - USC
Then: No. 1 offensive tackle '08
Now: No. 3 offensive tackle '11
Offensive linemen are, by far, the hardest players to project from high school to the NFL. Baylor's Jason Smith was drafted No. 2 overall by the St. Louis Rams in 2009 after having checked in to Baylor at 6-5 and 225 pounds. When the players are introducing themselves on "Monday Night Football," the linemen are the players from schools most people have never watched. Scouts have.
The key questions to be answered when scouting potential offensive linemen are: Does he have the frame to carry enough weight? Can he move his feet? Does he have a mean streak?
In the case of Smith, the answer to all three questions, and many more, was a definitive yes. Smith played defensive end as well as offensive tackle and played at a defensive end's weight of roughly 255 pounds, but he was a natural on the offensive line. His slide step and drop step were effortless and he kept a strong base with his feet underneath him, enabling him to play with natural leverage and strength.
Smith was Scout's No. 1 offensive tackle in the class of 2008, not because where he was at the time, but because of where we thought he could be. Smith was going to need time to gain the size and strength to play at a solid 285 pounds or more. His best days were going to be years three, four and five at USC. He decided to turn pro after his third year, and he's only beginning to scratch the surface of the potential he showed that led him being the No. 1 offensive tackle prospect in 2008.
Smith High School Highlights:
The class of 2008 was a special class in which its top players were so special that a high percentage of them have fulfilled their potential and are moving on to be first-round draft picks. The class of 2009 will be up next year, and USC quarterback Matt Barkley was a player who met this criteria coming up through the prep ranks. With a strong year at USC he could join the ranks of Green, Jones, Peterson, Bowers and Smith as can't-miss prospect who didn't.

The Can't Miss Prospects
The business of scouting is the business of trying to predict the future.
When in the business of predicting the future, especially a future as wrought
with potential pitfalls athletes face, scouts are going to have hits and
misses. If there were no variables involved, every top-five pick would be a
superstar and there would be no way an undrafted free agent becomes a two-time NFL


text: Outstanding info! Thanks for posting. I've toyed with the idea of a dedicated 22 or 22 conversion, but just never pulled the trigger. I'll probably not get back to it for awhile, but good points to consider. Truth be told, for as little trigger time as I really get with the Colt, 'cheap' .223 is fine for now, but like you said, we gotta accessorize. Looking forward to the final range report, and more pics, of course.

The first mortifying moment in Your Sister's Sister is the opening scene. At a get-together marking the first anniversary of his brother's death, Jack (Mark Duplass), a shaggy-haired junior academic type, fumbles the eulogies badly by reminding the assembled group about all the hidden jerky sides of his brother. Iris (Emily Blunt), an old friend and the dead brother's one-time girlfriend, decides it's time for an intervention. Jack, who has been over-drinking, underworking and generally messing up, has just made a career faux pas and obviously needs help. She suggests Jack take his red 10-speed bike, cycle to the ferry and go to an island on Seattle's Puget Sound, where her family has a cottage. "No TV, no Internet," she says. "Just you."
Well, not quite. The cabin turns out to be inhabited by Iris's sister, Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), who has just got out of a seven-year relationship with her two-timing lesbian lover, and is nursing her wounds with a bottle of tequila. After the first awkward encounter, Jack and Hannah become drinking buddies, and you get the sense that Jack, though not a conventional hunk, has a self-deprecating seductive charm, which leads to another embarrassing moment. The next morning, when Iris unexpectedly shows up with groceries for Jack, a whole new set of embarrassing moments is set in motion, with whispers, secrets and complicating developments. It's like a Marivaux farce, with a Pacific Northwest alt-rock sensibility, where people dress in vintage T-shirts and talk about finding some "headspace."
Seattle-based director Lynn Shelton is highly skillful at placing attractive characters in really awkward social situations, as she proved in her breakthrough Humpday, which is about a couple of straight buddies who do a gay porno "art project" together on a macho dare. Comparatively, Your Sister's Sister is more conventional, though most of it feels fresh. Shelton uses a structured improvisation method that allows the actors, on a moment-by-moment basis, to talk as if they're thinking aloud.
The script explains why one sister (Blunt) has an English accent, while the other (DeWitt) is American (same dad, different mothers in different cities) though gets a little fuzzy on their unusually tight bond. But apparently they're close enough for some sisterly passive-aggression, such as when Hannah brings up a humiliating story about one of Iris's offensive former boyfriends, or Iris slips butter into the vegan Hannah's mashed potatoes. As long as everyone is making meals and sharing walks, keeping secrets or spilling late-night confessions, the film's tone is affectionate and often funny.
On the downside, the characters can also sound as though they are issuing updates on their emotional weather.
"I'm a really bad person" declares Hannah, around the point that Your Sister's Sister begins to lose its way.
DeWitt (who played Rachel in Rachel Getting Married) offers the most affecting performance here, with a brittle vulnerability that is more complex than either Duplass's good-natured Jack or the ever-bubbly Iris. Unfortunately, her performance has to transcend a clichéd character (a vegan, lesbian, frustrated painter) whose behaviour pushes the second act into a preposterous turn. Where the film's best scenes are all about talk, the final third degenerates into soul-searching montages with sensitive music. Where many of the film's best scenes are memorably squirm-inducing, the ending feels simply squishy and familiar.Report Typo/Error

U.S. Senate Voting on $230 Monthly Commuter Tax Benefit
(New York--Jim O'Grady, WNYC) The U.S. Senate is voting today on a tax cut compromise that includes a provision allowing transit riders to deduct up to $230 per month for the cost of their commute.
The move would be a big step toward extending a benefit that began last year as part of the Obama administration's federal stimulus package. Before then, a transit commuter's monthly pre-tax benefit was capped at $120. Raising the cap to $230 put bus and train riders--and van poolers--on par with those who drive to work and pay for parking.
Tri-State Transportation Campaign, an advocacy group that works in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York, has been pushing the provision. Spokeswoman Ya-Ting Liu said, "At the end of the day, given the growing need for affordable transportation options, and the growing economic cost of traffic congestion, fed policy should reward transit use. And that's exactly what this does."
After the Senate vote, the tax package compromise will be taken up by the House. Should it pass there, the House and Senate would need to come up with a reconciled bill and then pass that bill before the end of the year.
Liu said the yearly suspense over the $230 benefit for transit riders could be avoided if the provision were to be written into the tax code, as it has been for drivers.
"The underlying issue is parity between transit and parking," she said. "Right now, this is a permanent benefit that only drivers enjoy."
For more on the issue and its economic ramifications, see this Marketplace report.

6 Steps to the Perfect Smoky Eyes
There are tons of makeup secrets, tips, and tricks out there but for prom, there are three little beauty words that stand out the most: The Smoky Eye! Prom-goers all want to know how to create the most perfect smoky eye, especially if you'll be doing your own makeup! Follow these really simple steps and with a bit of practice you'll definitely have this sultry makeup trend down by Prom!!
Step 1: Blend, Blend, and Blend! This type of eye shadow technique is all about blending and mixing different colors together to achieve a beautiful multi-toned lid, so don't be afraid of using multiple colors. This first step just requires you to take a lightly-colored neutral eye shadow and swipe it all over the lid from lashes to brow for an even base. Try these great neutral hues: Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, $27
Step 2: Highlight. Right over that initial layer of shadow apply a shimmering (not sparkling) soft bone color shadow right underneath the eyebrow and also in the corner tear duct area. This step just simply highlights and brings light to the eyes, keeping them the focal point of your pretty face! Try this shadow: Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow in Bone, $21
Step 3: Here Comes Color! For this smoky eye we have chosen lavender and purple shades to play with. (You can choose any colors you'd like, just have a light, medium, and dark version of the shadow color). For this step, all you have to do is take the lightest shade, lavender, and apply it close to the lash line and blend upward towards the brow bone with a larger and more fluffy eye shadow brush. Create a range of multi-hued smoky eyes with this useful palette: Sephora Collection Color Anthology Eyeshadow Palette, $35
Step 4: Lash Line Focus. Here's where you need a smaller stronger brush to apply a darker plum shadow along the lash line to really make your eyes pop. Start with a smaller line along the lashes that you gradually blend into the outer corner of your eye. From there, blend the plum shadow into the crease of the lower and upper lids. Just make sure everything is blended smoothly together so your shadow doesn't look too harsh, one way of doing this is to apply the darker shadow in small circular motions! Try this awesome brush: Smashbox Double-ended Smudger Brush #20, $24
Step 5: Liner. Use any black or dark brown eyeliner for this simple step. In small dash motions apply a thin (or thick depending on how adventurous you are) line of eyeliner along the lashes to bring the drama to the eyes, which is what this beautiful makeup look is all about! Start from the outer corner and work your way in creating a smooth even line. Try: NYX Cosmetics Super Skinny Eye Marker, $9
Step 6: Mascara Time! This is it, the last step; see we told you this smoky eye thing would be easy! To complete this look, lightly curl your lashes with an eyelash curler and generously apply two coats of black mascara to your upper and lower lashes. This finishes your smoky eye perfectly. Repeat each step on your other eye and you'll be 100% ready for Prom! Try this top-rated mascara: Maybelline Volum' Express Colossal Cat Eyes, $7

It has been 14 years since the Kargil war, but the acts of valour and sacrifices continue to inspire even today. A group of 46 people from Gurgaon left for a bike and car expedition to Kargil on Friday to pay homage to the martyrs of the war.
The group, comprising 20 motorcycles and three cars, will reach Srinagar on July 26 — observed as Kargil Day — and will be received by the Army commander of the battalion concerned.
On their way to Kargil, the group members will be interacting with students at Kurukshetra and Manali.
"I am proud to be associated with the event. I am sure it is going to be an experience of a lifetime. We want to pay homage to our martyrs," said a member of the expedition group.
The group leader of the expedition, Naveen Gulia, has an inspiring story of his own to share.
He was training to be an army officer and wanted to become a paracommando. After three years of training at the National Defence Academy and six months at the Indian Military Academy, Gulia met with an accident and has been confined to a wheelchair for the past 18 years.
"The group leader can be an inspiration to many. We flagged off the expedition from Rezang La war memorial here. We have been working to help war martyrs get their due recognition," said TC Rao, convenor, Rezang La Martyrs' Foundation, the group that has organised the trip.
The chief guests at the flagging-off ceremony were former air chief marshal P Tipnis and former lieutenant general R Lochav.
The ceremony was also attended by several other retired military officials.

Dumfries And Galloway
Fantastic weekend. Lovely hotel in a spectacular location. Sea and harbour view from room was amazing and we will be returning.
Mrs M McGinty, Glasgow

While away lazy summer afternoons in the beautiful Scottish fishing village of Portpatrick, where boats go to and fro as villagers go about their days running the local pubs and gift shops. Portpatrick's beautiful beaches are ideal for a romantic evening stroll, and a little further away you'll find the Galloway Forest Park famed for night skies so clear that you can see the Milky Way.
Portpatrick is a golfer's paradise, with a nine-hole pitch and putt golf course within the grounds of the Portpatrick Hotel for use by guests of both the hotel and the Portpatrick Apartments. The village also includes the Dunskey Golf Club, which occupies a prime spot right on the coast with both 9-hole and 18-hole courses.
Few places are more restful or more relaxing. You can sit by the harbour and enjoy the fresh air and the calls of sea birds, or go walking through the surrounding countryside where you'll find places to fish and some wonderful woodland tracks. Portpatrick's also at the start of the Southern Upland Way, which covers a total distance of 212 miles. Sunrises and sunsets from the Portpatrick coastline are breathtakingly beautiful, lighting the sky in rich reds, oranges, pinks and purples. Wake early, take in the views and look out towards Ireland and the Isle of Man as the sun creeps over the horizon, or enjoy a long morning in bed before a delicious meal at a local pub or at your hotel's restaurant.
Why stop at looking over the sea to distant Ireland? Why not hop on a boat for a day trip to Belfast? You can spend the day shopping, visiting the city's attractions and enjoying the friendly atmosphere of Northern Ireland's largest city.
Portpatrick's surroundings include some colourful gardens, open to the public throughout the summer months, and some grand historic castles that give an insight into Scotland's magnificent past. From sporting weekends to walking holidays, and from romantic breaks to shopping trips, Portpatrick has all that you need to fill every day of your visit.

TORONTO — Jose Bautista still feels some soreness in his back, but the tightness that kept him out of the lineup for four games against the Chicago White Sox has lessened to the point that he's ready to play.
The Toronto Blue Jays outfielder said before the game that the back spasms he experienced earlier in the week were primarily an inconvenience.
"It's more frustrating than scary," he said. "I knew that I wasn't going to be hurt for a long time."
Bautista will be the Blue Jays' designated hitter Friday when they welcome Andy Pettitte and the New York Yankees to Toronto. Manager John Gibbons said he expects Bautista will continue to DH for the entire three-game series in order to protect his back from the artificial playing surface at Rogers Centre.
"If we thought there was any risk he might aggravate it more, he wouldn't be in there," Gibbons said. "He felt much better."
Bautista took batting practice Friday, drilling home runs into the left field seats at Rogers Centre. He said that he's feeling better than he did earlier in the week -- pretty close to 100 per cent.
"The pain hasn't subsided completely, but the tightness has," he explained.
The 32-year-old has appeared in just nine games this season due to the recent back spasms and an ankle injury sustained during the Blue Jays' first homestand.
With Bautista sidelined, the Blue Jays split their four-game series with Chicago. Bautista said sitting on the bench was less frustrating than it could have been.
"We're playing good baseball and we've gotten a couple of wins, so it wasn't that difficult," he said. "I knew I couldn't play anyways, so there's not much I could do."
Gibbons said R.A. Dickey was feeling a bit better Friday after leaving Thursday's start with neck and back tightness. The manager noted that the act of throwing a baseball repeatedly has the potential to create discomfort at times.
"There's a lot of throwing going on. It doesn't take much to throw you out of whack," Gibbons explained. "But shoot he looked so good (Thursday) night, maybe he ought to keep it."
The team will have a better sense of Dickey's health after he throws a side session Saturday. The knuckleballer experienced some soreness while facing the Royals in Kansas City, then left Thursday's game after six innings with spasms between his neck and his shoulder blade.
Back in Toronto for the first time since his trade to New York, former Blue Jays outfielder Vernon Wells was a jarring sight in Yankees pinstripes.
"This is different, that's for sure," said Wells, who was anticipating a steady stream of boos. "I don't really think it matters what uniform you're wearing, when you go out to left field, it's a barrage from pitch one to the last out. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of people's mouths."
Wells, dealt by the Blue Jays to the Los Angeles Angels in January 2011, was greeted warmly in his first game back Aug. 12, but a homer against Brandon Morrow in his first at-bat changed the tenor.
"That turned it pretty sour in a heartbeat," he said. "They got that out of their system and it was game on from that point."
Wells was traded from the Angels to the Yankees last month.
Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie said he feels great after returning from a rib cage injury to the active roster. The 23-year-old said he's relieved to be back with the team in Toronto, and glad he didn't rush his return.
"I feel like if I had come back a little bit earlier than I was supposed to we would have had problems, but fortunately enough I took the time that I needed and got back where I need to be," he said.
Gibbons said he expects Lawrie to start contributing on offence soon. The Blue Jays brought him back from the minor leagues after just two games with the organization's Florida State League affiliate.
"That's not enough, but we needed him," Gibbons said. "He's healthy and he's played great defence. The hitting's going to come."
Now that Bautista and Lawrie have returned, the lineup continues to take shape. With Lawrie playing third base, Maicer Izturis returns to second base -- his natural position in Gibbons' view.
While the Blue Jays could ask Izturis to play elsewhere at various points during the season, he projects as the regular second baseman for now.
Once Bautista returns to his regular position in right field, Adam Lind and Rajai Davis will take over at DH, with Lind facing right-handers and Davis facing left-handers. Lind and Davis had been set to form a platoon earlier in the month, before injuries led to new alignments.
Emilio Bonifacio has been getting regular playing time so far, but would shift to a super-utility role if the club's starters are all healthy. Shortstop is settled for the time being with the strong play of Munenori Kawasaki, a development which helped the Blue Jays avoid a hostile trade market.
"Everyone knows when [Jose] Reyes goes down they've got you," Gibbons said. "Every team in baseball's got you where they want you. You really want one of our guys that bad, you're probably going to have to overpay. And that's why Kawasaki has been big."

Forty years on, the 1972 Summit Series remains an irresistible part of our collective consciousness.
Most of the stories we read about the series or come across on television focus on the Canadian team and its members. Years after the fact, we can digest detailed accounts of games and still learn things we didn't know before. Many of the Canadian players remain our hockey heroes – athletes whose careers will forever be linked to an event that has a deep and abiding cultural significance in our country.
Almost all of the players still enjoy a celebrity status as a result of their connection to the hockey showdown. Most have settled into a comfortable retirement as well.
The story in Russia is not so sweet and sunny.
Ten years ago this month, I visited Moscow to try to track down as many members of the '72 Soviet team as I could. During my time there, I found most of them. What I discovered couldn't have been more different than the post-series experience of the Canadian players.
Life for many of the Soviet team members had taken a dispiriting turn. "We are the forgotten ones," Evgeny Mishakov told me at his rundown Moscow apartment one afternoon. "We are forgotten by our own people and by our own government."
Mr. Mishakov had been a big, rugged forward on the Soviet Red Machine. His participation in the series was notable for the fight he had with Canada's Rod Gilbert – the only fisticuffs in the eight games. Thirty years on, he had ballooned to nearly twice his playing weight.
Bad knees made walking to the refrigerator an ordeal – he hadn't the money to afford the operation needed to fix them. Consequently, he mostly spent his days in a blue housecoat, sitting in a chair, watching TV in a room adorned with medals from the past, existing on a meagre pension and the fading memories of better times.
Mr. Mishakov died in 2007, at 66.
Sadly, his circumstances were not unusual. The transition from communism to capitalism was costly for many on the Soviet team. When the Russian economy collapsed in August of 1998, more than a few saw their life savings disappear in a single day. And when the pension system was overhauled, the monthly stipends of many of the Red Army players were drastically reduced.
Most of the Soviet players had a difficult time shifting to a post-hockey life. Few had practical job skills to fall back on. The big stars on the team were offered high-profile coaching jobs that paid well. But most ended up taking what they could get, many teaching at children's hockey schools for a pittance.
Their service to their country appeared to have meant nothing.
That's certainly how Yevgeny Paladiev felt when I found him in a Moscow tenement where a pack of wild dogs served as a yelping, menacing, welcoming party to anyone who drove up.
Like Mr. Mishakov, Mr. Paladiev spent his days mostly indoors, drinking and watching a 10-inch black-and-white TV with rabbit ears. His fridge was full of vodka. He insisted I drink some with him, straight up in wine glasses filled to the rim. Once movie-star handsome, Mr. Paladiev's skin was now red and blotchy. His knees wrecked, he could only hobble about with the aid of a cane.
"This is just the way it is," Mr. Paladiev told me. "The guys who weren't the stars were totally forgotten."
He died in 2010, at 61.
Yuri Blinov was another of those Soviet players who wasn't a star and who, like many of the other role players, was living on next to nothing. He benignly accepted his fate. "The fact is, we [members of the Soviet team] are more famous in Canada than we are here. That's just the way it is."
To be sure, some of the Russian players, such as Alexander Yakushev, Boris Mikhailov and Vladislav Tretiak, were doing just fine, living comfortable, middle-class existences. (And they continue to.) But for most of the team, life after the series was not so good. And for a few, there was lingering bitterness.
"We opened the world's eyes to the wonder of Soviet hockey," Mr. Mishakov had told me. "We paved the way for Russians to play in the NHL … but it means nothing now."
He took a long drag on his cigarette.
"The Canadians won in 1972 and the Canadians are still winning today. That's the story of the series."Report Typo/Error

The Little Blue Book (TLBB), our 22-year-old flagship brand, has developed a passionate and loyal following of over 300,000 physicians.How did TLBB build such a devoted fan base? Because it made their practices easier, faster and more profitable. TLBB is rated the #1 most valued and frequently-used resource in a physician's practice (more than double the usage of leading drug reference guides). Physicians love it so much, they pay for over 50% of its circulation.
Our company's guiding principle is simple: ask physicians what they need, and then give it to them where, when and how they want it.
The Physician's Essential Resource Goes Digital
We asked our doctors what more we could do for them. They responded. Half of our physicians told us they wanted a mobile app that captures all the features they love in TLBB, but with added functionalities made possible by a digital platform. We collaborated to create a fast and intuitive interface married to the highest quality data.
Unprecedented Measurability for Marketers
We asked pharmaceutical brand managers and media agency executives what they wanted, that they weren't getting. What we heard: "metrics," "reporting," and "more frequently refreshed creative." So, we delivered. We embedded the most powerful analytical and tracking capabilities available in The Little Blue Book Mobile.

Jonesboro Gets First Audit Opinion in Five Years
JONESBORO (KTVE/KARD) -- The town of Jonesboro get its first audit opinion in five years.
The report covers the fiscal year ending in June 2013. It was prepared by J. Walker & Company out of Lake Charles.
The audit lists several non-compliance and accounting discrepancies, but town fiscal administrator Kenneth Folden said in a phone call with KTVE that the discrepancies came during the term of former mayor Leslie Thompson.
Thompson was convicted for three counts of malfeasance in office in September. He's serving a six-year prison sentence.
Now that the town has no mayor, Folden says the $70,000 salary that is not being paid will helping to get finances in order. There is a mayoral election this November.
One issue highlighted in past audits was the misuse of the town vehicle by the mayor. Folden said employees are using the vehicles for errands only now.
Folden said the town is now off the non-compliance list, which means grant and state money is flowing again can be used for airport, streets and sewer projects over the next year.
"Infrastructure has been ignored for about five years," said Folden. "That will be the biggest issue and challenge that we face."
Folden says he's thankful for all the staff members at city hall helping in the progress of Jonesboro's finances.

In real need of some TLC
We had a lovely week, the location was superb with direct access onto the beach from the back garden. We were very lucky with the weather. The price reflects what the accommodation is like, so if you go not expecting anything other than just about adequate you will be fine, it has all the basics you need and children of the ages my grandchildren were you do not notice these things, but really without some serious updating, which will then no doubt add to the rental cost, I doubt that we would go back. There are plug in fresheners in all rooms and above cupboards, and a 'drainy' smell when I had to unplug them as I really don't like air fresheners.
There is a building project going on in the plot next door, but there was no problem with that.
The owner was quick to respond to e.mails during the booking process with good customer service.
Excellent location ,Very clean and quirky Accomodation.
We all had a very enjoyable stay, the Carriage is ideally located , great for kids being on the beach.Local shops ect very handy......The only disappointment is the gardens , needs a good tidy up, as would make it more welcoming on arrival for guests.But overall well pleased.
Charming, quirky & fun
We loved the property. It was as described, right on the beach, well equipped, clean and welcoming. Maybe a bit of TLC needed in terms of outside decoration, but definitely worth the price. Great walks, excellant fish & chips - be nice if renting the property included membership of the beach clubhouse.
beach side holiday
We had a great time in this cute little converted railway carriage. It was basic but had everything you needed. It was clean, warm and had real character. A relaxing break on the beach front. Will return with my Grandchildren. The front of the home is a little scruffy at first sight but once inside it is cute and quirky
great location
property was clean and the location was excellent, but disappointed with the property. I would recommend some updating, new fridge, the security of the property front doors was poor and the gardens need to be better maintained. would not recommend to anyone
Quirky cosy property with direct beach access
Great quirky property with all the amenities you could need. Lovely views from the sitting room through patio doors, making the room light and lovely to sit in. The railway carriage features make the cottage wonderfully different. Great location for visiting Goodwood and local attractions. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Sixty percent of Roman Catholics living
in the United States support gay marriage.
According to a
Quinnipiac University poll released Friday, 68 percent of
American Catholics agree with Pope Francis' recent comments on the
church's obsession with moral issues.
Francis said in an interview published
last month in the Jesuit magazine Civilta Cattolica that the church
had "locked itself up in small things" by obsessing over
abortion, contraception and homosexuality.
Eighty-nine percent of respondents also
said that they have a "favorable" or "very favorable" opinion
of their new pope.
"Maybe they were just waiting for a
Jesuit," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac
University Polling Institute, a reference to Francis being the
church's first Jesuit pope. "Overwhelmingly, across the
demographic board, Catholics – men and women, regular or
not-so-regular church-goers, young and old – have a favorable
opinion of Pope Francis."
American Catholics also support
marriage equality 60-31 percent, a higher percentage than found among
all U.S. adults. Current polls peg support in the low-to-mid 50s.

NAPOLEON PERDIS Luminous Lip Veils – Melon Mania
Brand: Napoleon Perdis
Range: Luminous Lip Veils
Shade: Melon Mania
Swatched by yours truly: akisa
- Melon Mania is a sheer peach gloss that can be worn alone or on top of peach/coral lipstick.
- With Napoleon Perdis lipglosses, when they say its enriched with Aloe Vera for hydration, they really mean it. My lips stayed hydrated for up to 3 hours in the office, even after the gloss wore off.
- Lychee flavour with subtle shimmers.
- Non-sticky, but it can feel heavy on lips if you get carried away with applying – a little goes a long way.
- Verdict: There's 20 lychee-flavoured shades to choose from, costs $25 AUD and has long lasting hydration. What are you waiting for?
My favourite wand for lipglosses is actually these slim-brush ones. It's gives the most precise application for sheer glosses.
I applied a decent amount for a swatch, but it feels a bit heavy with this much gloss on. This gloss really enhances your pout~
Available at Napoleon counters, selected pharmacies and online.
This product was sent to me for consideration.
