Lomography Day Trips: Get Some Rest in Tavira, Portugal2014-04-06 2 Share Tweet
Looking for a place for a few days of rest? The little city in Tavira has great beaches, amazing nature and a Mediterranean climate: the same features as the rest of the Algarve region, but less touristy.
The Algarve is the southernmost region of mainland Portugal. Its offers great beaches, a Mediterranean climate, and it's relatively affordable, which makes it a great tourist destination. Unfortunately, it has become a victim of its own success; the whole region is super touristy and isn't exactly authentic anymore. But luckily, there is a little city that offers the same great beaches and nature as the rest of the region, but isn't as crowded: Tavira.
Tavira is situated 30 kilometers (19 miles) east of Faro and 160 kilometers (99 miles) west of Seville in Spain. It has some picturesque streets, colorful façades, beautiful nature, it's the perfect place for wandering around, which is exactly what I did there:
Most people go to Tavira for the ocean and the beach, and they can't be proved wrong. From the city center, you can take a boat to some kind of island drifting in the ocean, with nice beaches. If you're willing to walk a little further, it is perfectly possible to find a quiet place for yourself, to lay down, read that book you always wanted to, take a dive in the ocean, sunbath or just sleep.
But there's more! In season, you can go flamingo spotting in the salt panes of Tavira. Get up early to spot them: it's worth the effort. And even if you can't find any flamingos, you won't be too disappointed, because the salt panes are already beautiful. We were lucky enough to see a few flamingos, if you look very, very, very carefully, you can see them on my pictures:
Don't go there and think you'll have Tavira to yourself though; the city is still pretty touristy, but far less crowded than the rest of the region. You won't be the only tourist, but the city is still very enjoyable and definitely worth a visit!

/// Yahoo to Shutter Cairo Office to "Streamline Operations" Globally
Yahoo told employees today that it planned to close its office in Cairo, Egypt at the end of this year. There are about 40 staffers working there. Yahoo continues to operate in Amman, Jordan and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in the Middle East and Africa region, serving users of its Arabic Maktoob site. A spokesperson for the Silicon Valley Internet service said: "This decision is part of Yahoo's global effort to streamline operations, encourage collaboration by bringing more Yahoos together in fewer locations, and build a strong global business that is set up for long-term growth." Yahoo closed its operations in South Korea at the end of last year.

Two Palm devices for AT&T targeted for the first half of the year
This article contains unofficial information.
Good news coming out of AT&T's Developers Summit that's being held right now in Las Vegas! Ralph de la Vega has just announced that two webOS handsets are expected to land on AT&T sometime within the first half of 2010. With the Palm Pre's debut quickly approaching the one year mark, it's been a long wait to see a GSM version come out for AT&T. So far there is no concrete information if it's going to be either of the existing current Palm smartphones, the Pre and Pixi, that'll make its way to AT&T. Frankly though, customers from the number two wireless carrier in the country have been on the back seat during this mobile platform war going all out. Not only is this considered a victory for AT&T, but Palm will be getting more face time in between customer now that they're on-board with three out of the four major providers.

Who cares really? I guess this is a victory for those middle-aged real estate cougars who still carry a Palm Pilot...now that Palm has beefed up their OS...now its time to bring in a fashion consultant so they can address their hideous form-factor issues. Just thought I'd be the first to post....haha

To be honest, I very much like the vertical qwerty slider...I personally dislike, not hate, landscape slider. It's just awkward for me and very cumbersome. You first have to read it, turn, slide, type, slide again and turn back into your pocket....just too much work for me, haha. I wish more manufacture utilizes the vertical form factor(only Samsung propel pro and the Palm pre came to mind smartphone wise).

A federal judge in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois has upheld a jury ruling last August that Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser infringed a patent and ordered the company to pay more than $US520 million ($A792 million) in damages to Chicago-based software firm, Eolas, and the University of California.
Judge James Zagel also said he was denying a motion by Microsoft to hold off on a decision until the US Patent and Trademark Office finished re-examining the patent (No. 5,838,906).
The re-examination was begun last November.
"Despite Microsoft's best arguments, I adhere to my prior evidentiary rulings and my decisions excluding certain defenses from the case submitted to the jury, and I find there has been no material change in the law that would support another outcome in this case," he said in his judgement.
The software giant said it would appeal the case and is expected to do within a month.
The judge has barred Microsoft from distributing copies of IE which contain the infringing technology but said the injunction would take effect only after an appeal had run its course.
Eolas was launched in 1994 to market technology that allows users to access interactive programs embedded in Web pages. Eolas chairman Michael Doyle along with two others developed the technology while at the University of California at San Francisco.
The jury made the award based on calculation that $US1.47 ($A2.24) per unit represented reasonable royalties for the 354 million copies of Windows sold from the time the patent was granted in November 1998 until September 2001.
Eolas and the university had been asking for $US3.50 ($A5.33) for each unit. The average price of Windows during the period was $US61 ($A93)
(The full judgement can be seen by searching for Case No: 1:99-cv-626 Doc. No. 9999 at the court's website.)

Are you a fan of a particularly popular game featuring a group of agitated birds and noisy green pigs? Well, in this week's installment of Deke's Techniques, Deke McClelland shows you how to create your very own "grumpy bird" with Adobe Illustrator. Let's get started.
Follow along with Deke in this week's free video and use the companion text below to help with each step.
Change the fill color of all the objects in your group to an appropriately "angry" color and then turn on the layer named rear. Click the meatball for rear.
Tip: The "meatball" is what Illustrator fans have termed the little circle to the right of the layer name. Among other things, it allows you to select everything on a layer.
In this step, you're basically combining Multiply and Screen to create a custom effect.
Now we'll add the corresponding highlights. Return to the Layers panel, select the high layer, click the meatball, and press Ctrl+Shift+G (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+G (Mac) to ungroup them.
Open the Pathfinder panel. Hold down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key and click Minus Front to create another compound shape.
Change the fill of these objects (the two ellipses) to the same color as the body and feathers of the bird. Change the blend mode of the entire layer to Screen.
This pastes the ellipse—and all of its dynamic effects—into this compound shape.
Return to the Pathfinder panel. Once again, hold down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key and click Minus Front to create a compound shape.
Switch to the Pen tool and draw a path outline around the extra triangular highlight on the left side of the bird. The path doesn't have to be exact; just make sure you cover the highlight.
Twirl the compound shape layer closed and then target the bottommost sublayer of the bird layer by clicking on its meatball. Choose Edit > Copy. Now target the topmost sublayer of the bird layer and choose Edit > Paste in Front.
With the current layer still targeted, choose Object > Expand Appearance to transform these dynamic effects into static path outlines.
Return to the Pathfinder panel and choose Unite to fuse the outlines together.
Now choose Edit > Cut and click the meatball for the bird layer itself.
Open the Transparency panel and click Make Mask. This creates a black opacity mask thumbnail that indicates everything on the layer is now transparent.
Change the bird's fill in the opacity mask to white using the Fill option in the Control panel.
Target the top sublayer of the bird layer again and choose Edit > Paste in Front. Change its Fill to None, change the Stroke to black, and increase the Line Weight to 6 points.
p style="text-align: center;">
And that completes this week's technique. The result is a volumetric cartoon body for your very own grumpy bird, complete with shadows and highlights, as built in Illustrator.
If you're a member of the lynda.com library, check out the two follow-up videos where Deke shows you how to create the character's tail and then draw your bird's snarling face.
Next week, Deke shows how to create a sunny and rather pastoral setting for your character. Stay tuned!

Some pet parents believe that the Trupanion Insurance premiums do not increase over time and so they ask us what Embrace Pet Insurance premiums will do in comparison. It's a good and valid question.
Trupanion states on their website and marketing materials that Trupanion policies will not increase Trupanion policy premiums due to the pet aging, which makes people think that the premium does not increase over time; however, there are many other reasons that Trupanion's premiums will go up as a pet ages - Trupanion premiums will increase over time.
For example, Trupanion was approved for a 51.77% for premium increase in California and a 32.7% increase in Florida plus they filed for an automatic 15% veterinary inflation increase every year thereafter (the automatic increases were not approved in either state). So even Trupanion says their premiums should increase over time.

One of the most affluent areas of London, yet Clapham High Street has had empty retail units for months in prime locations – why? Discuss >>
One of the most affluent areas of London, yet Clapham High Street has had empty retail units for months in prime locations – why? Discuss >>
Local Clapper asks: Does anyone know what's happening with the Old Belgo site on the corner of Edgeley Road? Hoping its a restaurant rather than another supermarket!
Live Nation's large live concerts look to be moving from Hyde Park to Clapham Common from summer 2014.
We were first alerted over the weekend on our Twitter account by a fellow Clapper and this morning the report looks to be confirmed by a press release from our local community group, the Friends of Clapham Common.
Friends of Clapham Common are very clear on their position: "We are objecting in the strongest possible terms to Lambeth Council's proposal to permit an events company to put on large-scale events on Clapham Common that could see 45,000 people a day descending on the area."
Their Chairman, Melanie Oxley, went on to say "The commercialisation of Clapham Common has reached new heights. Lambeth Council risks converting our heritage landscape into an enterprise platform. Despite clear objections from ourselves and others, Lambeth is welcoming all kinds of unsuitable events."
How do you feel? Will the cultural benefits of concerts from major music artists like Lady Gaga and Coldplay improve our area? Or will yet another influx of revellers destroy what makes Clapham Common so special already?
Bored Clappers. WE HAVE BEEN BORED. With a lack of things to do in the evening in Clapham, us Clappers have had to turn to either binge drinking, paying extortionate prices for meals or jogging around the common. All of which sound good in principle but leave you with an empty, soul destroying feeling afterwards in their own unique ways. So it's with a massive sigh of relief and a cheer that Love Clapham can announce that The Funny Side… of Clapham Common comedy nights are now every blinkin' Thursday at the Alexandra on Clapham Common south side (by the bus stops!) Check it out, it's a bargainous £12.50 and you can still binge drink, eat and perhaps jog home. Wonderful.
After a successful opening in 2009, Aquum has quickly established itself as the place to see and be seen in SW4. Offering a cool and chic feel, this interchangeable South London haunt is spread over three floors, spoiling you with plenty of room to relax throughout the week over a bite to eat with friends, and ample space to get your groove on at the weekends with resident sounds from Stereo Sushi and Bargrooves.

Phone: 0208 772 0303
The Abbeville pub is an institution for Abbeville villagers. With great food, an unusual layout and a calmer atmosphere than the thumping music of Clapham High Street, no wonder it's always jam-packed!

Phone: 0208 673 9162
The White House is Clapham's most famous night spot. It used to be fairly exclusive, but now it's a bar come club with a fantastic roof terrace for the summer. Be prepared to queue if you turn up at the weekend.

WAILUKU >> Maui County Mayor Alan Arakawa issued eight line-item vetoes to the budget the county council passed this month.
Monday's vetoes trim nearly $30 million in capital-improvement projects from the $600 million budget, The Maui News reported.
The council has 10 days to act or the vetoes will become law, Budget Director Sandy Baz said.
Among the eliminated items is money for a new Kahului community center. Arakawa said funding would be premature because it still could take years to identify a site for the center.
Most cuts stem from the mayor's objections to the way bond items appear in the budget bills package.
For example, a bond-authorization measure didn't specifically mention a gym in south Maui. Without that authorization, the county wouldn't be able to fund the project.
Mike White, the council's Budget and Finance Committee chairman, said he was reviewing the vetoes and analyzing the mayor's objections.
He noted that the budget was reviewed and approved by the Department of Corporation Counsel, the county's attorneys, and passed unanimously by his committee and the full council. "I have confidence in the budget passed by the council," White said.
Separately, Arakawa said Monday county general obligation bonds had newly confirmed credit ratings. Moody's gave the county an Aa1 rating, the second-highest bond rating. Standard & Poors and Fitch gave the county AA+ ratings, a step below a top AAA rating.

Looks like the Northland Rugby Union has a reticent rebel on its hands.
Murray Potts runs KerikeriRugby.com and is the rugby fan accused of being, essentially, a sexist boofhead.
Murray had "pinched" some pictures off the personal Facebook page of the NRU's new referee administrator, Alanna Clare, and placed them on KerikeriRugby.com
The photos of Alanna in a bikini caused a rush of blood to Murray's brain, and he posted them with a caption Benny Hill would have been proud of writing. This caption, which we won't go into here, was later replaced with a simple "Welcome to the Alanna Clare fan club" heading.
Benny Hill was a UK comedian in the 1970s and'80s, fond of running about with scantily clad models, for comedic gratification. Feminists hated him. Millions loved his cheeky humour, though.
Murray is a Kerikeri rugby fan who, under the misguided belief that no one would mind, has incurred the wrath of feminists, ordinary folk and rugby officials keen to bring attitudes associated with the game out of the 1970s.
Murray clearly loves the game of rugby and, having thought about it, has now eaten several large slices of humble pie and apologised to all and sundry for his actions.
It should be noted that he didn't do anything illegal when he downloaded the photographs from Ms Clare's Facebook page.
But the context in which he used them was questionable.
So was the placement of the photos alongside a Northland Rugby Union logo on the webpage.
The logo implied the NRU sanctioned the site - no wonder, Murray, that the NRU were unhappy with the photos.
All in all, no harm done, lesson learned, and everyone moves on.
Although as editor, I am slightly curious as to how Murray - who appears to be something of a social media magpie - got his hands on the Northern Advocate story on his website.
I am sure he went through the correct copyright channels.
To be safe though, I'll be taking the holiday pics of me in my budgie smugglers off my Facebook page tonight.

Ginger-Braised Red Cabbage
This healthy side dish gets tons of flavor from ginger, shallot, vinegar, and brown sugar.
- Servings: 6
Source: Whole Living, March 2011
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 3 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 2 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 head red cabbage (about 2 1/2 lb.), cut into 8 wedges, core intact
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a heavy ovenproof saucepan, heat oil. Cook shallot and ginger over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar and brown sugar. Stir in chicken stock, water, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Add cabbage.
Bring to a boil. Cover; transfer to oven and braise until cabbage is tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
Remove cabbage with a slotted spoon and place on a serving platter; discard bay leaf. Simmer remaining liquid over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Spoon sauce over cabbage.

Apple is still thrashing out details, according to reports, meaning that iRadio is unlikely to appear at WWDC in June.
Google's Play Music All Access app, which was launched at Google I/O on Wednesday, may enjoy a longer grace period before an Apple rival arrives on the scene according to reports on Friday.
The Verge's sources claim that Apple's long-rumoured iRadio streaming service will be absent from the WWDC conference next month as Cupertino is yet to make deals with the major music publishers.
The sources say that Sony/ATV and BGM Rights Management have both rejected the terms that Apple has offered so far and is holding out for more cash for their artists.
All this, the report claims, is despite the "market momentum" behind Apple's forthcoming service, which suggests the record labels themselves are keen for the service to roll out as soon as possible.
Universal, The Verge claims, was the first label to jump on board. and want to see it launch this summer.
The sources said Google's service may have been able to reach market sooner due to Apple's dominant position in the industry, which led to the labels and publishers driving a harder bargain.
One source told the site: "Of course [Apple's] negotiations were going to take longer."
Google, on the other hand, didn't struggle when obtaining licenses because copyright owners will receive advance payments. The report claims Apple refuses to do so.
Google Play Music All Access' similarity to existing services like Spotify, Rdio and Pandora also made it easier for the company to beat Apple to the punch, the site claimed.
Apple, on the other hand, is planning a "hybrid" service that combines those already on offer, meaning new agreement perimeters had to be created.
Should Apple fail to launch iRadio at WWDC it would give Google more time to establish its service before the Apple juggernaut muddies the waters.
It may also limit Apple's ability to show off iOS 7 in full, as one can only assume that such a service would be a centrepiece of a new mobile operating system.

The Bentley GTC has only been out for two years and a bit, but you might not know that; the car is so popular in some parts that it has become something like Ugg Boots for the monied-up automotive fashionista. Like its other Continental stablemates, Bentley has finally taken the drophead into their Speed garage for the transformation from really fast to "Egads!" fast.
It emerges from said garage with its twin-turbo W12 producing 553 lb-ft. of torque and 600 horsepower - 100 ponies more than the Azure T, making it the most powerful convertible Bentley has ever made. The Speed treatment alters the front end, with a more upright, dark-tinted matrix grille flanked by chrome bezels around the headlights, and the face is framed by firmer lines sweeping up from the lower air dam.
While it is still not - and isn't mean to be - a sports car, the handling ante is upped by a lowered ride height, low-friction dampers, stiffer rear axle bushings, wider tires, and retuned steering. When it's time to stop, newly available carbon-ceramic brakes, at 16.5 inches up front and 14 inches in back, are the largest factory-fitted brakes on a passenger car today.
When it's time to get on it, you'll reach 60 in 4.5 seconds, and with the top up you'll find terminal velocity is 200 miles-per-hour with the lid up. Should you not wish to go easy on your follicles, the GTC will still reach 195 mph with the top down - just make sure to lather up your 'do with plenty of product.
There are two new official exterior paint choices from the factory: Aquamarine and Blue Crystal, and you can get the interior done in Aquamarine as well. However, since Bentley's bespoke department will make your GTC any color you want, that's probably of little concern to most buyers. Even so, we must ask: who's been requesting an Aquamarine interior? Check out the full GTC Speed press release after the jump, and the gallery of high-res photos below.

To New Zealand and back: Dawn Princess Cruise Review by mycher
Overall Member Rating
To New Zealand and back
Destination: Australia & New Zealand
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
My cabin was inside, clean and perfect for one person. Just a shame it was over the anchor, but only had two off shore landings, so not so bad. My previous cruise on Princess was a total disappointment finding it totally for for the US market. But this was more geared to Australian travellers, Vegemite included. Lots of trivia competitions, daily Bingo. The nights entertainment went from good quality to really bad. Best show of the cruise was the staff show on the last night. The quality of the food in the dining rooms was excellent, except for one sitting. Had a bathrobe in my cabin, but I think they are all size 8.. didnt bother to ask for another.
Had lots of issues with my card, kept locking me out of my room and the water in the shower was never hot, but just comfortable enough not to be a cold shower. I dont do any Princess shore More excursions, as NZ is easy to research and make your own tours. As per normal, the staff were excellent, but was annoyed by the constant 'on selling' of spa products, photos, CDs of the entertainers. Overall, I enjoyed this cruise travelling solo for the first time and met some fantastic people or was that because they were fellow Aussies... Less
Published 01/12/13
Cabin review: ND203
Small cabin, really comfortable for one, but would have been crowded and tripping over each other for two. Noisy when arriving at destinations as the anchor and mooring ropes were under my cabin. The two beds I requested to become a Queen size need to be somehow tied together. In rough seas I fell inbetween them as the beds moved with the roll of the ship.

In May of this year, Eric Holder testified before a Congressional committee that he first heard about operation Fast and Furious just a few weeks previous to his testimony. At first he said he wasn't sure when he heard about it then, upon being pressed told the committee it was just a few weeks ago.
Eric Holder lied.
Documents and emails now show that Holder was aware of the operation which allowed weapons from the U.S. to "walk" into the hands of Mexican drug cartels 10 months before his testimony.
Holder's exact quote, when pressed was that he had "probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."
In fact, a memo from the Director of the National Drug Intelligence Center, Michael Walther, informed Holder that straw buyers in Operation Fast and Furious "are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to the Mexican drug trafficking cartels."
Wow. That seems pretty clear doesn't it? That memo was dated in July 2010…That's 10 months before Holder said that he, "probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."
Lanny Breuer's name comes up more than once in memos as well. Breuer is the Chief of the Criminal Division of the DOJ and in mid October 2010, Breuer sent a memo to Holder informing him that prosecutors were about to file indictments in the Fast and Furious case.
October 18th, the date of that memo was 7 months before Holder's testimony that he, "probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."
This is interesting…By the time of the October 18th memo from Breuer to Holder, the cover spin was already taking place.
One day ahead of the Breuer to Holder Memo, on October 17th, Jason Weinstein, Deputy Attorney General, fired off a memo to another attorney in the Criminal Division where Breuer worked asking about the possibility of having Breuer hold a press conference as soon as Operation Fast and Furious became public. Weinstein, in that memo stated that, "It's a tricky case, given the number of guns that have walked."
So, Holder knew, the Criminal Division of the DOJ knew, the Deputy Attorney General knew…Who else knew?
Fox News broke this memo story yesterday but seem reluctant to state what is clear.
Eric Holder lied under oath. Holder committed perjury.
Fox got this statement from the DOJ.
"Holder's response referred to when he first learned of the "troubling tactics" of the program, not the name of it."
If we are now, to believe the DOJ, and Holder himself, we must believe that while he knew the NAME of the program, Fast and Furious, he had no idea of what it was or how it operated. We are being asked to believe that this was going on for up to 9 months before Eric Holder had any idea of the "troubling tactics" being employed.
Somehow, the DOJ is trying to tell us that incompetence excuses Eric Holder and that he simply just didn't understand the question as it was posed back in May by the Judicial Committee.
The question from Congressman Issa seems pretty clear and you can watch that part of the Judiciary Committee hearing and further comments by Congressman Issa by clicking here.
Holder didn't understand the question?
Holder thought he was only being asked when he first heard about the tactics employed?
The statement given to Fox News by the DOJ goes a step farther saying, "that the "gun walking" referred to in the October 2010 email exchange is about another case initiated before Operation Fast and Furious."
So…Fast and Furious was not the first time weapons were allowed to "walk" across the border and into the hands of Mexican drug cartels?
Standard procedure would be to allow the bad guys to purchase the weapons then, arrest them on the spot, NOT allowing those guns to "walk" out of the country. Fast and Furious, and maybe another operation, DID allow those weapons to "walk" while ATF and DOJ officials stood there doing nothing.
Those guns, bought with taxpayer dollars were then sold to gun runners and allowed to "walk" into the hands of Mexican drug cartels and we now know some of them have been used in murders on BOTH sides of the border including the murders of U.S. Border Agents.
We are being asked to believe the Attorney General of the United States simply didn't know about this until he read about it in the news just a few weeks before being asked, under oath, by the Judiciary Committee about it?
IF we are to believe that, we must ALSO believe that upon FINALLY hearing of it, over those "few weeks" before providing his testimony, the Attorney General, Eric Holder, didn't bother to ask anyone for details…KNOWING he was going to subpoenaed?
So, when did Eric Holder REALLY know of this program? Who else knew of this program? Well, knowing what WE know now, one has to wonder just how deep this goes and the answer to THAT question might be found in a different video, from March 24th, 2009, you can see by clicking here.
It's impossible to believe, that Holder was out of the loop after seeing THAT video and even if, in that video, the program being described is a different "gun walking" operation, how could Holder NOT be aware that any of this was happening?
The Fast and Furious case is not the only problem Holder and Obama face together either. Remember the voter intimidation case which Holder refused to prosecute involving the New Black Panther party in Philly?
Big Government and Andrew Breitbart over the weekend uncovered a good possible explanation
for THAT.
Breitbart discovered photos of Obama, during the presidential campaign, speaking at a New Black Panther party event with the very head of that group who organized the intimidation in Philly.
Obama finds himself in a rather tight spot here. If he fires Holder he looks as though he's covering for himself and Holder could implicate him in both these cases. If he accepts Holder's resignation, it would seem likely that Holder wouldn't be held accountable for perjury in which case Holder most likely wouldn't implicate Obama in either case which looks bad but not quite as bad.
It's very unlikely Obama will be scathed by Fast and Furious even if he should be unless he can be directly tied to the cover up in the deaths of the border agents or other Americans because of these weapons placed into the hands of the Mexican cartels.
It's much MORE likely that Holder will resign and other heads will roll in the DOJ, the ATF and DHS.
While it's tempting to conclude that Obama is as deep into the Fast and Furious disaster as is Holder, so far, the evidence isn't there…So far…Solyndra on the other hand, has Obama's fingerprints all over it.
What world are we living in when an administration can allow guns to be sold to Mexican Drug Cartels and used to kill Americans and it doesn't affect the oval office but misappropriation of tax payers money on a venture capital investment can?
Fast and Furious won't bring Obama down but Fast and Loose just might.

I am, however, in dire need of white and white on white fabric, so I might have to buy some in April. I need it to do blocks for my bee month coming up! Eek! It kills me that I will have to buy fabric, but...what must be done must be done ;)
So far I am happy with my lack of purchases. Makes me happy to use up stuff in my stash. Then, after my fast, I can purchase a whole new stash!!!

It's probably been a while since many of you have played Tekken 6. After all, with the more recent release of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 now out and about, it's possible that after playing through the game with every chracter and mastering arcade mode, you probably haven't really picked up the game again. In the past, a coder known as Osmund Neuron released what was called the Tekken 6 Rebirth Mod for PSP which allowed users to play as NPCs Azazel as as well as Nancy. That same hacker under the nem White Lord is now working to bring you those same cool luxuries.
If you haven't played Tekken 6 before, Azazel and Nancy are two larger than life boss characters that could be found in the game but were never actually playable as full fighters. Once you install this mod however, both huge statures will be unlocked for your fighting leiisure. Other than a few proof screenshots, other details on the mod are somewhat scarce, but we can at least tell you it's coming. There are many more possible features to be added according to the developer, but you'll just have to stay tuned to DashHacks to find out what those add-ons are!

Captain America has never been able to match it with Iron Man, Thor or even The Hulk in the popularity stakes. Physically, maybe, but he was a bit of a goody-goody when it came to fighting the baddies.
But you can safely bury those thoughts as he fights to save thousands of lives in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Although he doesn't abandon his morals of honesty and integrity, he is willing to do what needs to be done to fulfil his mission. Captain America's latest mission is over two hours of non-stop action and intrigue, with a plot that keeps you guessing long into the movie.
Captain America/Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is the only man S.H.I.E.L.D. boss Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) can trust when the organisation is infiltrated from the inside.
When an assassination attempt is made on his life, Fury takes Rogers into his confidence and tasks him with stopping the mysterious Hydra programme from taking hold.
Relying on the help of the Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), Rogers must go back to the beginning to discover who is behind Hydra.
He is forced to go back to his World War II days and the people he fought with and against. And while he is searching for answers, a fearsome foe - the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) - is hunting him down.
The Winter Soldier also harbours an incredible secret from Steve's past, a secret that will have enormous influence on his future.

If you have ever been to Pettigrew-Green Arena in Taradale, you will have noticed one thing - it is always busy.
There's either a conference on, or someone playing squash or someone working out in the fitness centre. Upstairs there are people working away in offices. It is a good example of a sporting complex well used.
So often local councils around the world have had glorious ideas to build big complexes which they promise will be well used. What happens? They end up as white elephants.
Not so Pettigrew-Green Arena - it has just gone from strength to strength. Many people express surprise when they realise it has been around for a decade - today is the 10-year anniversary since it officially opened its doors.
Since then it has become, quite simply, part of Hawke's Bay sporting life. A number of sporting codes have their headquarters there as does Sport Hawke's Bay and it is also the home of our Hawks basketball team. When it opened, the arena's then chief executive, Roger Coleman, said he hoped it would be more than just a sports stadium. That has certainly been the case with a number of concerts, events and conferences being held there.
But its primary usage is as a sporting hub. It is well used by students at EIT across the road, but the great thing about it is that you don't have to be a top sportsman or sportswoman to enjoy the facilities. It has it all - a gym, squash courts, aerobics/dance studio, a fitness centre, a sports science lab, consultancy rooms and conference facilities.
It is also going to be the venue for the world famous Harlem Globetrotters to show their skills. They will put on a display on May 31.
So, happy birthday Pettigrew-Green Arena. Let's hope you are around for many more years.

Typical supremacist GOP, trying to put a noose around a Negro's neck...<quoted text>What the hell did Romney lie about? Are you completely nuts or something?
Benghazi hangs like a millstone around Obama's neck. Along with Solyndra, Fast and Furious and a host of other failures involving lying to the American public. Obama must think we are all stupid sheep like the soviets that eat all the gubmint propaganda right up. He has another thing coming today.
. All we know is Issa and his fellow crooks trying to benefit from the death of a few white males.
. The pattern is clear: Like they did with Fast & Furious, Fox claim that Obama "hates white people and Romney's new lie that Negro Obama calls for revenge on white men....
typical Race-baiting $h1t...
. CIA had agents in Benghazi under cover around the Consulate, working on locating missing missiles Libyan officials believed might be used to down airliners flying over Libya
. Thanks to Romney and GOP crooks, Gaddafi's supporters are made aware of that CIA operation to locate those dangerous weapons
. Next time an Airliner is shot down in that area, we should all thank Romney and Fox News!

Seeing It All
If you live in New England, like I do, you are never without a towel and tube of sunscreen in the trunk of your car. Call us optimists—we're ready for a beach day year-round.
But I am an active beach guy. An explorer, not a lounger. And when I set off on a stroll I'm often pulled up short. Stretches of sand end much too quickly. I find myself in rocky shallows where my flip-flops get stuck, and I end up wondering about mystery coves deep in the distance.
So I started dreaming. What if I packed up my knapsack and hiked an entire chunk of America's shore? People walk the Appalachian Trail. I could do this! Poring over my maps, I pick New Hampshire. (It has the shortest coastline in the country.) I won't see just a piece of where land meets water; I'll see it all.

Smallville (2001)
486 mistakes
Starring: Allison Mack, Anette O'Toole, John Glover, John Schneider, Kristin Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum, Tom Welling
Vote on more TV shows at The Big Fat List
Continuity mistake: When Lana and Clark are sitting on top of the windmill, Clark's jacket changes from opened to closed to opened.
Continuity mistake: As Harry goes into the pond the second time the pylons are connected now with yellow crime scene tape when the camera is out over the water looking at Harry on the walkway. As the camera is in the water, watching Harry fall in, the pylons are gone, even though they should be in the shot, and are connected by a wire instead of crime scene tape.
Visible crew/equipment: When Clark and Chloe begin their investigation on the deer, when Clark pulls the blinds, you can see the shadow of the crew equipment on the left side of the blinds.
Continuity mistake: As Clark stands outside the room where Lex has just got his shock treatment the blood on his cheek is back even though his cheek wound was healed and he wiped any residual blood off in the previous scene at the power generator.
Continuity mistake: When Lex first tries to break out of Belle Reve, he stabs a security guard in the leg with a pencil deep enough to draw a large amount of blood on the guy's pants leg. But when Lex is trying to incapacitate the man you can see the pencil flopping around on the guards leg and not sticking inside the guy's leg.
Audio problem: When Lex gets outside and makes a run for the gate you hear the sound of Lex running on a gravel or small stone covered walkway. However, several time we are shown his feet and he is actually running on a regular concrete walkway.
Continuity mistake: When Chloe and Lionel finish their discussion in the cave the shot focuses on the Naman/Segeth glyph and focuses through the glyph to a transition shot of an island that Lex is on. When we first see this island it is flat and covered with trees. The next time the island is shown there is now a large volcano/mountain that was not their when we first see the island.
Skinwalker - S2-E10
Visible crew/equipment: After Kyla dies the scene goes to the construction site as Martha and Lionel get out of a SUV. As Martha gets out you can see the camera and film crew reflected in the window of the SUV.
Continuity mistake: When there is a flashback of the shooting, the police officer is heard to fire 3 shots, yet in each other flashbacks it's 2 shots and there are only 2 wounds in the victim.
Revealing mistake: Clark tries to stop the three guys who are inhaling refined kryptonite. As Clark gets tossed through a window, you can see the explosion of a small charge in the bottom left of the widow. Highly noticeable since Clark hits nowhere near where this charge goes off.
Exodus (2) - S2-E23
Continuity mistake: As Jor-El is first burning the mark on Clark's chest the mark moves to the upper right part of his chest. In the next shot, closer in on Clark, you can see the same area again but now there is no mark where there was one before.
Vortex (2) - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Clark, Pete and Chloe were searching for Clark's father in the woods, they stumble upon a motor home dropped by the tornado. Chloe then picks up a Nixon's camera and looks at it. Cut to Nixon and Jonathan Kent then back to a wide shot as we see Chloe throwing the camera down onto the ground. Clark then uses his X-ray vision once again. Cut back to a wider angle (as they walk away) yet we see Chloe throw down the camera once again.
Revealing mistake: In the sheriff's office, the door to the jail area has no lock plate on the wall.
Continuity mistake: Gabe Sullivan's headstone is on the right side (if you are looking at the headstones) of Chloe's in the previous episode. In this one it's on the other side.
Continuity mistake: Chloe makes an $80 bet with Mxyzptlk at the beginning of the episode. When he pays her in the Torch office, he peels off seven 20-dollar bills for a total of $140 instead of the $160 it should be.
Insurgence - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: When Lex speaks with the Lieutenant, watch Clark and Jonathan in the background. They are seen standing by a News Now van and looking up at the Daily Planet. When the camera cuts to them, they are shown walking past the News Now van again.
Audio problem: In the scene where Jason and Isabelle/Lana are talking and he is about to burn the book with the lighter, she quickly grabs the book with her magic. Isabelle then says some sort of spell flinging Jason against the wall to the right. In the shot where you see him thrown against the wall, Isabelle has already said the spell, but you can see her mouth moving saying the same thing (though nothing is heard).
Continuity mistake: Chloe's mouth changes from open when she hits the ground struggling with Ian to closed when he is moving her unconscious body.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene where Clark discusses Desiree with his parents, his hand shift from brushing over his glass to gripped around it.
Continuity mistake: After Clark cleans up the house, the amount and kinds of fruit in the basket on the table changes between the pan shot to his parents and the shot of the three of them at the table.
