Today we, like other papers, are able to tell the full story. It is no longer the case, as it had been throughout the Christmas holiday season, that the political and journalistic establishment knew the identity of the minister but the rest of Britain didn't. A week ago, we said that the story told us nothing essential or new about the drugs debate. A week on, we haven't changed our minds. But in the meantime, we have all been caught up in days of collective twisted-knickerism about power, secrecy, hypocrisy, the press, the Attorney-General, politicians generally, and ''the right to know''. It is well worth a few minutes' disentangling.
First, is the law an ass generally to prevent newspapers publishing the identities of youngsters in court cases? No. Despite the numbers of people in their mid-teens who commit unpleasant and sometimes violent crimes that would disgrace any adult, the law is wise. Helping people to grow up, and grow away from crime, means avoiding branding them early in their lives.
Second, though, is the law excessively inflexible in this regard? Probably, it is. Like it or not, where the 17-year-old involved is the son of the Home Secretary, at a time when the Home Secretary is trying to remoralise the country's attitude to youth and drugs, that person is in a different category from any other teenager. Given that his offence was a common one, and doesn't affect the wider issues, that is his bad luck. But the story was just too interesting, too piquant, to stay for long at the level of north London dinner-party gossip. The politicians were ill-advised to try to keep the lid on it. Given that Mr Straw wanted to speak out, the Attorney General, in particular, has made a fool of himself in effectively gagging his colleague.
Yesterday, he was forced to change direction. Why? Because in the modern world, if a secret is sufficiently interesting, it simply cannot be kept from one group of people, in this case those living in England and Wales.
Scotland has her own legal system. Yesterday, facing no legal threat themselves, three Scottish papers published Mr Straw's name. The Republics of Ireland and France have papers that are quite widely read in England. They did the same. Millions of people cross to and from Britain all the time, carrying information as well as wine and suntan oil. And for anyone with a thousand pounds' worth or so of computer kit in the back bedroom, all the facts were anyway available on the Internet.
We live in a highly porous world, where news and gossip sloshes around, blithely ignoring traditional jurisdictions: whether it be satellite broadcasting, the Net or cheap flights to Paris, technology trumps censorship, time after time after time. New Labour, as people still freshly in power and therefore presumably still reasonably in touch with realities, ought to have realised that from the start.
So it follows, then, that all government should stop trying to censor anything, and that we should know everything about everyone? Some editors who should know better have been quick to say that the Straw saga demonstrates the impossibility of a privacy law ever working. That, too, shows a lack of proportion. This was a highly unusual case, with a strong political flavouring.
A privacy law which protected ordinary citizens from prying into their private sexual lives, for instance, would not be affected by the availability of foreign newspapers in London, or by the Internet. Similarly, the classification and occasional censorship of films can be defended even when ''everybody knows'' you can get the stuff in Belgium or Soho. Everybody knows, but everybody doesn't go. Most people can't be bothered. Meanwhile, protecting young minds from images of extreme and sadistic violence remains a valid thing for governments to try to do.
What, finally, about the position of Mr Straw himself? It is undeniably embarrassing. He will be laughed at by some, the next time he speaks about drugs or about young people generally. The professional sneerers will find some easy copy in the weeks ahead. It would have been much easier for him had his name been published immediately, and the week of innuendo, nudge-nudging and press pontification been avoided. But we don't believe there is a single fair-minded person who thinks worse of him for what happened. It is the kind of thing that can happen, and in many cases has happened, to families up and down the country. He dealt with it briskly and is at last talking about it openly. How can he be less qualified to do his job now he is revealed as a normal member of an ordinary family, than he was before?
The only lesson for the whole Government to remember is that you can't keep a good story down. For a few days, as we digested smears and leaks from the police, injunctions from the Attorney General and the arrest of the reporter concerned, and noted a rising bubble of mockery from all sides, they looked like a flat-footed, out of touch Tories at their worst. We only hope they noticed.

We've been begging for a play with a decleater block. And we've gotten a couple in recent weeks, but this one tops the charts.
In Pacific's first homecoming since 1991, quarterback Trevor Okamoto is flushed out of the pocket on a blitz on fourth-and-12 from the Whitworth 13 yard line. After a huge block by tight end Will Marchbanks, Okamoto throws under more pressure to wide receiver Jordan Fukumoto.

Looking for lasting love? It's not all looks and laughs
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Singles looking for love put too much emphasis on looks and passion in trying to find their perfect match, according to research released ahead of Valentine's Day.
An analysis by online dating website eHarmony shows what people find attractive in a possible partner may not be the same qualities that will make the relationship successful, which is a lesson learned by those who have been married.
For example single women aged under 45 were 13 times more likely than married women under 45 to stress the importance of feeling passion and desire toward their partners.
Single women aged over 45 were nearly twice as likely to stress the importance of love, compared to their married peers who were more likely to cite companionship.
"We know what we are attracted to. It is very easy to see. But the challenges of finding someone attractive can cloud over what is very important across the long haul," said Gian Gonzaga, a senior director of research and development at the California-based company.
eHarmony compared the responses of 598,000 users registered on its website, some who had been previously married and some never married, about the qualities sought in a potential partner.
Never-married singles tended to put more emphasis on physical appearance, passion and personality in a partner, while formerly married singles focused on a person's beliefs, values, emotional intimacy and skills at resolving conflict, as well as sexual compatibility.
"The study showed that singles tend to focus on the emotional aspects of a relationship and don't focus as much on the skills and requirements that are necessary to make a long-term relationship stronger," said Gonzaga.
An accompanying survey of 2,020 adults in the United States by Opinion Research Corporation for eHarmony, which was founded in 2000 and is available in Canada, Australia and Britain, supported the findings, according to Gonzaga. Continued...

Medications for Urinary Incontinence
The information provided below is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Prescription Medications
Common names include:
- Darifenacin
- Flavoxate
- Oxybutynin
- Solifenacin
- Tolterodine
- Trospium
- Fesoterodine
These drugs act on the automatic nervous system to alter the balance between bladder pressure and sphincter tone. They specifically weaken the bladder emptying muscle, relieving incontinence that is caused by sudden urges to void due to a full or irritated bladder. Possible side effects include:
- Urine retention
- Dry mouth
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Nausea
- Lightheadedness
- Sleepiness
- Blurred vision
Muscle Relaxants
- Mirabegron
This drug relaxes the smooth muscles associated with urination. Possible side effects include:
- High blood pressure
- Cold symptoms
- Urinary tract infection
- Headache
Common names of topical estrogens include:
- Ogen
- Premarin
- Estrace
- Estring
Estrogen can also be given in oral, injectable, or transdermal forms, but topical is best for this condition.
Estrogen is the hormone that stimulates and maintains the breasts, ovaries, uterus, and vagina. At menopause, estrogen levels drop dramatically and these organs begin to age. The tissue that supports the bladder is the anterior wall of the vagina. If this becomes weakened and stretched out, the bladder drops, and stress incontinence may result. Replacing estrogen in your body rejuvenates the vaginal wall and may cure the leaking.
Estrogen has both positive and negative effects. To avoid most of the side effects, estrogen for urinary stress incontinence can be given topically as a vaginal cream.
Possible side effects include:
- More rapid growth of other female cancers, such as breast and uterine cancers
- Gallbladder disease
- Blood clots
- High blood pressure
Botulinum Toxin Injections
Botulinum toxin type A can be injected directly into bladder muscles during an outpatient procedure. For people with urge incontinence, botox may be able to relax the bladder muscle.
Possible side effects include:
- Pain
- Infection
- Inflammation
Special Considerations
When using estrogen other than the topical creams, ask your doctor to discuss the pros and cons. Also, having a medical condition may mean that you cannot take certain medications. For example, some people who have glaucoma cannot use anticholinergics.
If you have bladder trouble, check with your doctor before using any other medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. Many have urinary side effects.
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:
- Take the medication as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Ask what side effects could occur. Report them to your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor before you stop taking any prescription medication.
- Plan ahead for refills if you need them.
- Do not share your prescription medication with anyone.
- Medications can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to your doctor if you are taking more than one medication, including over-the-counter products and supplements.
When to Contact Your Doctor
Call your doctor if:
- You have concerns about estrogen treatment
- Side effects are causing significant problems

By Sportsmail Reporter
PUBLISHED: 14:44 EST, 26 May 2012 | UPDATED: 14:47 EST, 26 May 2012
Luke Donald is on course to retain his BMW PGA Championship title - and to return to world number one - after a nightmare day for overnight leader James Morrison in front of family and friends at Wentworth.
Four clear after a sparkling second round 64, the world number 236 crashed to an 81 and will go into the closing 18 holes an amazing eight strokes behind.
While local man Morrison had a quadruple bogey eight, a triple bogey eight and three bogeys on his card, Donald showed his class with a 69 - the joint best round of the day in the windy conditions.
Leading the way: Donald
Needing only a top eight finish to take the number one spot back off Rory McIlroy, who opened the door by missing a second successive cut, the 34-year-old is now 11 under par and two ahead of Justin Rose.
Donald is trying to follow Sir Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie as the only players to make a successful defence of the European Tour's flagship event.
Faldo did it in 1980 and 1981, while Montgomerie had three wins in a row from 1998 to 2000.
Former England Youth cricketer Morrison, whose only win on the circuit was in the relatively minor Madeira Islands Open in his rookie season two years ago, knew it was going to be a test for him.
'I desperately, desperately, desperately want to keep going forward,' he had said. 'I expect a lot, but if I shoot 80 or 65 I'll take what I can from it.'
He could never have expected things to unravel as they did, however.
Falling apart: Morrison had a terrible day
After a bogey on the first, where he bunkered his approach, he went out of bounds with his second on the long fourth and ran up his first eight.
That alone was enough to take him out of the lead, but the collapse continued.
He bogeyed the next and on the 391-yard eighth went from trees to water for a quadruple bogey that was matched by playing partner David Drysdale, himself twice in the lake.
The Scot had been joint leader at that point, but that was the start of a horrible slide for him too. He finished with a 78.
Donald plotted his way around like the expert he now is, gathering birdies at the first two par fives and then going two clear at the 13th.
Peter Lawrie was the man out in front with them by then, but as the Dubliner hit into the trees and bogeyed Donald fired in an iron to six feet and picked up another shot.
He did bogey the 15th after driving into a ditch, but salvaged a par on the long 17th after going in the trees and hitting an on-course television reporter with his next shot.
Losing his way: Lawrie
Then, to nobody's surprise, he laid up short of the water on the last, pitched to 18 feet and made it.
Rose, who played with Donald the first two days and admired his ability to bounce straight back from trouble, and Ian Poulter were the only others to break 70.
Lawrie is in third spot on seven under after a 72, while joint fourth are former Open champion Paul Lawrie and South African trio Branden Grace, Richard Sterne and Ernie Els - the latter livid with the lack of watering on the course he re-designed.
Donald said: 'The tougher the better. The good players that can be patient and deal with it are always going to rise to the top usually.'
The US Open is generally regarded as the hardest of all the majors and with it coming up in just over a fortnight Donald said this week was "good prep.
'That was by far my best round of the three. The swing was swirling and I hit a lot of solid shots.
'There were a couple of loose ones coming down the stretch, but I'm very pleased with that finish - it was hugely important for me.
'Physically and mentally it was tough and it's going to be a grind tomorrow.'
Rose, who could move to a career-high fifth in the world by winning, commented: 'I'm delighted. It was one of those where I realise how good a round it was until I saw that the course had taken its toll.
'There were some borderline holes, as there are at US Opens and on Sundays, but I sort of relished the challenge. It takes all your experience and patience and it certainly tested me.'

As is usual for you, you're missing the whole point. You and mafiacustomz are taking an irresponsible and childish view of what I'm trying to get across.
Most of those on this board, including you, were not alive in 1970. So you have not lived through the horror of breathing air from Los Angeles or any other population center in America back then. People died from breathing it. People got sick from breathing it. Something had to be done, so the Congress began to inact laws and regulations to clean up the air. It's not like it was done for some special interest group or groups, everyone had to breathe the same air. These photos will give you an idea of what we had to deal with.....
Here's a summary of the Clean Air Act of 1970, the first of many changes to the law to help clean the air that all of us must breathe.....
Summary of the Clean Air Act | Laws and Regulations | US EPA
Now, along comes AP72 and mafiacustomz with their pizzy little attitudes, thinking that these laws don't apply to them. Well, they do apply to you the same as they apply to every other person who lives in this country.
What I'm trying to get across is that if EVERYONE obeyed all the laws, we would have no need for police, courts, jails, prisons and all those God-awful attorneys suckin' the money out of our wallets and life would be wonderful, just like God intended it to be in the first place.
You need look no further than the 10 Commandments. It's all right there, how to conduct yourself without making waves for others. But you two pick and choose which laws you think you should obey.
And that's what's wrong with America.

Brown ruptured his right biceps muscle in the Atlanta game Aug. 9.
Brown played the first quarter and was a integral part of the Packers' goal line stand in which they stuffed Panthers' Stephen Davis four times.
Sherman pointed out that Brown did not need to reach out with his injured arm Saturday, thus avoiding exposing it. Due to to the short turn-around this week with the Thursday night preseason finale, Sherman may hold Brown out as a precaution.
"He did remarkable well for having gotten back so quickly," Sherman said.
Brown's return to the lineup and courageous play has prompted a flood of praise from his teammates.
"I don't want to sound like a sissy or anything, but I love these guys in here," Brown said. "and I'm sure they love me. It's a special place."

She's no stranger to partying into the wee hours, and last night (February 18) Lady GaGa was spotted enjoying a late evening at Claridge's.
The "Just Dance" songstress looked a little out of it as she attended a post-Brit Awards party hosted by Universal in downtown London, England.
Acting as one of the night's hosts, Kylie Minogue was looking lovely at the 2009 Brit Awards in London on Wednesday night (February 18).
Held at Earls Court, the 40-year-old Australian pop singer-songwriter joined forces with "Gavin And Stacey" stars James Corden and Mathew Horne to helm the night's festivities.
Not letting the rainy weather put a damper on the evening, the stars were out in full force for the 2009 Orange British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Opera House in London on Sunday (February 8).
Among the big winners were top film "Slumdog Millionaire", along with individual awards going to Mickey Rourke, Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz and Heath Ledger.
She's nearing the end of her super successful run on Broadway, and earlier today Katie Holmes was spotted leaving her SoHo apartment, heading into work.
The "Mad Money" mommy looked to be in a good mood as she passed the paparazzi, sporting a shimmery blue dress with a black jacket, black stretch pants, and a pair of black flats.
Continuing their assault on Los Angeles nightlife, Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne were spotted out and about last night, partying at club Bardot.
With such international appeal, it's no wonder Kylie Minogue is one of the featured performers at the grand opening of the new Atlantis hotel in Dubai.
The awesome Aussie songstress arrived this evening to a flurry of paparazzi, looking simply stunning in a black and pink floral print dress with matching black heels.
When it comes to international superstars, few women can compete with the worldwide appeal of Kylie Minogue. And the "Locomotion" singer was in Paris France this past weekend getting ready for a world tour (the first gig is tomorrow in Paris).
Yesterday, Miss Minogue was spotted at a press conference to endorse Spanish jewelry brand TOUS. She looked stunning in an all-black ensemble as she held a bouquet of flowers and smiled for the cameras.
It's a big night in London, England. And if you're anywhere near Earl's Court you may want to stop by, as there's sure to be plenty of celebrity sightings at this evening's Brit Awards.
Among the bevy of famous and beautiful people in the house was none other than Kylie Minogue. The awesome Aussie singer showed up in a gorgeous black knee-length dress and plenty of bling on her neck and ears.

Despite missing the MLS playoffs, D.C. will compete in the 2009-10 CCL competition as U.S. Open Cup winner. A 4-2 loss to Honduran club Marathon Wednesday night at RFK Stadium left the four-time MLS champion with just one point from its six Concacaf Champions' League matches and a goal difference of minus-9 (four scored, 13 conceded).
Injured regulars Jaime Moreno and Bryan Namoff were among the players absent, and midfielder Santino Quaranta's expulsion left United shorthanded for the entire second half, triggering waves of attacks on the United goal manned by Zach Wells in place of the suspended Louis Crayton.
Striker Francis Doe (10th minute) and defender Greg Janicki (61st) scored for United, but in-between Marathon scored three goals, including one by former Miami Fusion forward Saul Martinez, and knocked in a fourth midway through the second half. Mario Berrios, Martin Chavez, and former Honduran international Milton "Tyson" Nunez all scored, and Nunez picked up two assists more than seven years after scoring twice at RFK in a 3-2 victory for his country against the USA in a World Cup qualifier.
Fred played in central midfield with Quaranta and Ivan Guerrero on the flanks in support of Doe and Boyzzz Khumalo up top. Quaranta set up the first goal with a cross that was deflected onto the goalpost and fell nicely for Doe smack it into the net.
Marathon began the match with solid hopes of clinching a quarterfinal place and more than 20 minutes of intermittent pressure paid off when Nunez chipped a ball that Martinez steered past Wells.
A Doe shot hit the outside of the post a few minutes later and both teams stepped up the tempo, and the foul count, rather than settle for a 1-1 deadlock at halftime. Doe and Oscar Bonilla squabbled and were cautioned by referee Benito Archundia, who then sanctioned Quaranta for fouling Berrios in the United half of the field. Quaranta's protest prompted a second yellow and dismissal.
Marathon needed the briefest of periods to exploit the man advantage. Berrios intercepted a United half-clearance and hit a dipping shot into the top corner. Time elapsed since kick-off: 24 seconds.
Nunez tapped home the rebound of a saved Martinez shot eight minutes later. Janicki netted his first goal for D.C. by collecting a flicked free kick under pressure and driving it into the net.
Minutes after coming on as a sub, Luciano Emilio combined with Doe and Fred to open up the Marathon defense again, but no shot resulted and Marathon launched a counterattack. Nunez's pass beat the retreating United defenders and Chavez shot low to score.
A final United chance fell to Doe and keeper Juan Angel Gutierrez stymied him stylishly. Perhaps frustrated by that save, and certainly irritated at Marathon's success in keeping possession despite heavy D.C. challenges, a high kick by Doe caused Archundia to issue his second red card of the evening for serious foul play.
Marathon's victory assured it of a quarterfinal slot, as it sits in a three-way tie atop Group A with 10 points, the same total accrued by Deportivo Saprissa and Cruz Azul. It holds the head-to-head tiebreaker advantage over Cruz Azul, which concluded its schedule by losing 1-0 to Deportivo Saprissa. Marathon and Saprissa conclude group play next week; Saprissa will advance with a tie.

Taylor Swift has revealed that she drives herself crazy when she's working on writing a new album.
The US star is well known for being the queen of a good breakup song and she's previously admitted that she bases a lot of her tunes on past experiences, relationships and heartbreak.
After she concludes her Red tour, Swift is starting work on her fifth album and as her last boyfriend was One Direction star Harry Styles, we have to wonder if he's getting worried about now.
The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' hitmaker admitted that she gets very intense and crazed when she's working on new tracks, so much so that she often needs a long time off afterwards to recover.
Swift isn't quite ready to begin the challenging process just yet and told MTV news:
"I'm getting ready to start thinking about it. Because my record, it just came out and I'm trying to give my mind a second to like, 'OK,' because when I write a record, I write until I cannot write anymore, I drive myself crazy and then finally the album comes out and I give myself a few months off so I'm still in that time."
As well as a new album, Taylor is also set to release her third fragrance and she claimed that the perfume will very much embody who she is as an artist.
The 'Everything Changes' singer was speaking at the Fragrance Foundation Awards in New York earlier this week and said that her third fragrance, Taylor by Taylor Swift, very much reflects her personality. She said:
"For me, it's sort of who I am and embodies my personality and my style."
Swift revealed that each of her scents have been based on where her music career stands and explained:
"There's been a sort of progression between fantasy and reality, and I think this perfume just follows that progression. It would take place in my day-to-day life if that makes sense."

NOTE: Article has been updated to reflect statistics accumulated as of October 21.
Defining value can be a tricky proposition. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines valuable as "having desirable or esteemed characteristics or qualities" and "of great use or service." But what does that mean when applied to specific examples? Value is very much situational, and often quite subjective.
The MLS Most Valuable Player award is no different, and for Sebastien Le Toux, the definition of value may determine whether or not he receives the league's highest individual honor. The largest strike against him has nothing to do with performance, but it's a legitimate consideration. You know the age-old debate: Should a player on a non-playoff team even have a chance to be deemed the most valuable in the league? The opposing logic is that Player X's team wouldn't have made the playoffs without him and they didn't with him, so where's the value added?
That's where defining value comes into play. Should the award determine the player who has contributed most to a playoff team, or rather most to any team in the league, period, regardless of position in the standings? For instance, say Landon Donovan single-handedly makes the playoff-bound LA Galaxy 10 points better, yet Le Toux makes the Union 11 points better. Is Donovan still more valuable? What if it's a larger discrepancy than just one point?
Ignoring the playoffs element for a moment, does Le Toux deserve it? Absolutely. The expansion draft selection has done everything humanly possible to help his club win, and then some. With one match left, the Frenchman has 13 goals, adding 11 assists for the highest combined mark in the league.
And the two most commonly cited offensive statistics only begin to tell the story.
Le Toux is the heart and soul of the Union, beloved by the fan base for being everything a professional athlete should be. Here's a challenge: Find a single bad thing anyone has said about him this year. Won't be easy.
There's a reason. The guy flat-out leaves his heart and soul on the field every single match. And then he stays long after the final whistle signing autographs, taking pictures and talking with fans, to the point where members of the media have commented that it can be tough getting ahold of him for post-game interviews in a timely manner because he spends so long with the fans. Now that's the kind of player (and person) any club wants as the face of their franchise.
[inline_node:287672]But being a good person doesn't help win MVP awards (although maybe it should be a factor when you consider the impact it has on cultivating fan loyalty, which in turn translates to increased home support), so why does Le Toux deserve the nod when no other player from a non-playoff team has won the distinction in MLS history?
Simply put, his value -- more specifically, his percentage involvement in the Union's total number of goals this season (34) -- has also been unprecedented. The MLS record for a single player's percentage involvement in his club's goal is 61.1 percent, set in 1999 when current Real Salt Lake head coach Jason Kreis accumulated 18 goals and 15 assists out of 54 total goals (Kreis won the MVP that year with the Dallas Burn).
Le Toux currently sits at 70.6 percent.
When compared to some of the other top offensive MVP candidates on playoff-bound clubs, it's clear why Le Toux deserves to be in the thick of the conversation despite missing an important ingredient.
Sebastien Le Toux: 70.6%
Chris Wondolowski: 54.5%
Fredy Montero: 52.6%
Landon Donovan: 52.4%
David Ferreira: 51.2%
Edson Buddle: 45.2%
Juan Pablo Ángel: 44.4%
Javier Morales: 39.0%
Omar Cummings: 38.1%
Staggering, isn't it? This statistical-driven metric doesn't even consider the fact that Le Toux's work-ethic is second to none. He's regularly seen tracking back to help the Union on the defensive side of the ball and applying pressure when the opposing defense or goalkeeper has possession. Then there's his versatility to play multiple attacking positions as needed to compensate for injuries or lineup adjustments. Not to mention his reputation as the consummate teammate.
One of only two players with double-digit goals and assists this season (Fredy Montero has 10 goals and 10 assists, with Jaime Moreno the last to accomplish the feat prior to this season when he had 10 goals and 10 assists in 2008), Le Toux's 2010 campaign has been nothing short of historic. Yes, there is still one match left, which could help certain players distinguish themselves. But with media voting already underway, should Le Toux be strongly considered for the league's MVP award?
The simple answer is an emphatic yes, unless of course too many decide to rule him out by definition.

Two Little Boys (MA15+)
Hoyts Belconnen
Reviewer: CRIS KENNEDY
There is more than meets the eye going on in Robert Sarkies' quirky Kiwi film. What the eye meets is a film starring two moderately well-known comedians - Hamish Blake of Australia's radio and sometime television pair Hamish and Andy and Bret McKenzie of the Kiwi musical comedy outfit Flight of the Conchords.
Their presence implies that this is going to be a laugh riot, but that's not the case.
Sarkies has adapted his own brother's 2008 novel, with a dark and complex screenplay about two men whose lifelong friendship is difficult to shake. Poor Nige (McKenzie) is doing laps of the main street of Invercargill late in the night, pondering his life. His best pal Deano (Blake) has kicked him out of their flat, jealous of the time Nige is spending with new friend Gav (Maaka Pohatu). Nige doesn't notice that he has run over Norwegian backpacker Jeurgen (Filip Berg) until it's too late, and he runs to Deano's door to beg him to help with the body. A little over-enthusiastic with most things, Deano's assistance leads to an escalating set of problems. Blake comes across as comfortable onscreen, with delivery that feels improvised and natural, much like a big-screen version of his on-air persona.
McKenzie is going for something deeper with his mildly autistic Nige, and it would be great to see him given the chance to perform with a more likeable character who doesn't choke on his own words and emotion. McKenzie won an Oscar earlier this year, thoroughly deserved, for a song he wrote for The Muppets, so I'm guessing the world is his oyster right now.
The film's production design and costuming are well put together, with a Kodachrome aesthetic and a grainy quality that works for the story though not necessarily for the mid-'90s setting.
There is a series of realistic dream sequences set in World War I where Aussie Deano takes a bullet for Nige, drawing on the Anzac concept of mateship, that is well staged but seems a little over-the-top for a throwaway moment.
Sarkies has misjudged the tone of this film, which is more sad than it is amusing, though Blake does score a few good laughs.
I did have to roll my eyes when the soundtrack pumped Dave Dobbyn and Herbs' Slice of Heaven, New Zealand's most overexposed piece of pop.

This year five state parks find themselves with these special circumstances and a rare opportunity for hunters. The deer population has exploded, and is wreaking havoc on the ecosystem of the park.
For one weekend in November and in December the state parks will close to all other visitors, allowing only deer hunters into the parks. The deer hunters were selected through a random computer draw and already have their permits. They are the hunters that applied this summer for the annual special managed hunts, and only those hunters with these permits will be allowed to partake in the hunts.
Special hunts will be conducted at the following parks on the following weekends:
Nov. 19-20 - Pomme de Terre State Park near Pittsburg, including the campground and state park marina (the Hermitage area of the park will remain open).
Dec. 10-11 - Ha Ha Tonka State Park near Camdenton. Knob Noster State Park near Knob Noster. Rock Bridge Memorial State Park near Columbia. And Watkins Woolen Mill State Park and Historic Site near Lawson. From KSPRabc33.com.

Great idea and glad Missouri

Great idea and glad Missouri has the sense to use hunters to help control the deer population, a win-win for everybody. Kudos to Missouri.
It looks like we were all

It looks like we were all temporarily confused by the title on this one. Now that we have it straightened out though it appears like a great opportunity for the lucky tag holders. I would assume this is an antlerless hunt as it's goal is to reduce the herd and probably leavea lot of good wildlife viewing for others later. The great thing os that this does not reduce you normal tag count for your regular hunts. MOre opportunity to hunt and if needed a lot more meat to fill the freezer or donate to others. good luck to nay of the guys that drew this limited tag. I have a cousin over there but don't think he hunts much. Maybe I need to give him akick to get him going again.lol
That's great to hear. But,

That's great to hear. But, from the title of the article, i misunderstood. I thought they were closing the state parks in Missouri FOR hunting. I was going to say that's a bummer.
Very cool to see the hunters there have an opportunity to harvest some good venison. It goes to show what can happen if you allow animals like that to be de facto protected, but with proper nutrition to reproduce. They will grow beyond the carrying capacity of the land. A controlled herd is a healthy herd. The animal rights people do not see that, they just think things will go on as normal if you stop killing them. The 20 Million whitetails in the US would become 40 Million in a heartbeat if nobody hunted them.
Hopefully all the hunters will be successful, and have a safe weekend of hunting!
Yet another very positive

Yet another very positive article on Missouri hunting. Over the past two to three months we have read many positive articles on Missouri. They obviously have a well managed hunting program.
This is a great additional opportunity for the hunters of Missouri. The ability to cull an over-populated deer herd within the state's park system allows for additional hunting for the computer picked and lucky hunters. It also provides additional venison meals for the hunters and possibly the needy. And also an opportunity at a very nice buck that has been using the park wildlife refuge to grow into a trophy.
I also very much agree with closing the parks off to non-hunters during these special circumstance hunts. Closing the parks maximizes the safety scenario and lowers the odds of having an accident. I understand these are state parks and open to the general public and maybe even tax-payer funded but closing them for two days to manage the deer herds that are currently destroying the ecosystem is the right decision. There are many states that have these same park hunts but do not close the parks off to non-hunters. Their reasoning may be due to the hunting opportunities being far enough away from where the general public would be. This does not guarantee a hiker or others with animal interests do not accidentally or intentionally wander into the hunt area.
I cannot find what these permits allow for harvest but found on their web site that each permit may allow 1 or 2 deer. And that the deer harvested from these special managed hunts do not apply to the regular harvest allowances for the regular season. Good for Missouri hunters!
I thought from the headline that this article would be opposite
Submitted by groovy mike on Wed, 2011-11-16 08:49.
Now this is cool. I thought from the headline that this article would be telling exactly the opposite story – that parks were closed to hunting due to special circumstance. I am glad to see that it is the other way around! And that Missouri state parks are open for hunters to do what hunters do best – control the deer population when it has exploded due to artificial restrictions within the ecosystem of the park.
It makes sense for safety's sake to close the parks to all other non-hunting visitors and to allow only deer hunters into them. I know that I have encountered hikers and dogs on public land who had no idea that it was opening day and what danger they were putting themselves and their unleashed pets in by roaming through the woods without safety orange or other precautions during hunting season.

New Pics of Tsarnaev Released, Police Sgt. Relieved of Duty
A police photographer, furious with a Rolling Stone cover photo releases his own pictures.
Boston, MA - A police photographer, furious with a Rolling Stone cover photo he says glamorizes the surviving Boston Marathon suspect, has released gritty images from the day he was captured.
The photos released to Boston Magazine on Thursday by Massachusetts State Police tactical photographer Sgt. Sean Murphy show a downcast, disheveled Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with the red dot of sniper's rifle laser sight on his forehead.
He says his photos show the "real Boston bomber, not someone fluffed and buffed for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine." The pictures were taken when Tsarnaev was captured April 19, bleeding and hiding in a dry-docked boat in a Watertown backyard.
A state police spokesman said the agency didn't authorize release of the photos to Boston Magazine and will not release them to other media.
The pictures appear in the Boston Magazine.
Sgt. Sean Murphy says he now has been relieved of duty, pending a hearing next week.

I am interested in general opinion on how to rotate the tires. Of course the dealer and manual are not on the same page.
A couple of years ago I bot Snow Tires (from Costco) and found out last spring they were ROTATIONAL tires - hence they could only move from front to back and not cross over. I was bothered by that knowing that common "theory" is that you do more right turns than left and that wear and tear happens more on the right side.
When I suggested that I could (during the off season) have the snows unmounted and remounted (in reverse) the dealer stated that would not be wise. Ditto Costco employees.
Both stated generally that it is best to keep LEFTS and RIGHTS separate. The theory, they stated, was that:
1) Say there is a problem with the car alignment and that the lefts are wearing more than the right.
2) By crossing the tires from left to right, now the "poorer" left tires will now affect the alignment on the right. (ie a bad left tire will now "infect" the right side).
3) Tires "nowadays" are built better and it makes more sense to not cross them (the "sales job" IMO)
|My understanding was that with the advent of radial tires you could not rotate from side to side because if you changed the tire rotation direction it would start to separate the belts in the tires.
Myth: Never rotate tires from side to side, only front to back.
Fact: Radial tires can be crossed from side to side in the rotation pattern. The old front-to-back rule applied to bias ply tires. Regular tire rotation--every 6000 to 8000 miles--promotes more uniform wear for all tires on a vehicle.

|my model is AWD but as it is not FULL time AWD I assume that I would follow the book and/or any "FWD" rotation pattern?

Soulful Atria and Whitlock team up in new band The Slims
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 11:39 a.m.
The Slims are the best band you've never heard nor heard of; but they're no strangers to the Gainesville scene, by any means. Lead vocalists Travis Atria and Collin Whitlock (of Morningbell and Shoddy Beatles fame, respectively) have been making sweet tunes in this town for the better part of a decade, and their newest effort is arguably their best.
Their full-length album, "Killa Dilla," hit the Internet in May, 2011, to massive friendly acclaim, and calls for a live performance have been circulating ever since.
Soulful, rocking, sweet and wistful, The Slims' album stands out not only locally but internationally, honestly. One would defy you to come up with a better album that was released in the past decade. Seriously. Some stand-out tracks include, but are not limited to, "Lovey Dovey (Snooky Falls in Love)," "Everybody Knows I'm Here (Introducing The Tamborines)" and "I'm in Love (Too Good to Be True)." The best part of The Slims is the fact that they're playing these songs in public, finally.
Go see these gentlemen play; this is definitely the best show this week and probably this year. You can catch their set at The Atlantic on Saturday, along with local dance-rock party prodigies, Bang Bang Boom, The Savants of Soul and The Mud Flappers, starting at 9 p.m.
■ ■ ■
On Friday, the Ex Boogeymen performs with Moonbeard, Squeaky and local awesome-rockers Snakehealers at The Atlantic, starting at 10 p.m.
■ ■ ■
Tampa Indie rockers The Groves perform with Pilly Wete and Benny Cannon & Friends on Friday at High Dive, starting at 9 p.m.
■ ■ ■
Former Neutral Milk Hotel singer/songwriter Jeff Mangum performs Friday at the Florida Theater of Gainesville, starting at 8 p.m.
■ ■ ■
Local New Order fanatics Ars Phoenix performs at Mars Pub and Arcade, along with Astari Night, Attention System, Ferals and Analogue Ghost on Friday, starting at 9 p.m.
■ ■ ■
Local prog-rockers Fick perform with local indie-dance rockers Far Away Planes and local folk-humorists Adult Boys Thunderband on Saturday at High Dive, starting at 9 p.m.
■ ■ ■
For fans of Brit-pop, take note of this tasty little show on Sunday because, let's face it, you've got nothing better to do on a Sunday: Go see A Silent Film, all the way from England, playing with Brooklyn synth-poppers Carousel and locals Xylitone at High Dive, starting at 8 p.m.

Small Appliance
Small Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician ASAP
Hi, Sorry to hear about that,
Let me ask you a couple of things.
First how old is the coffee maker?
Also does the water in your area contain alot of minerals such as iron or calcium?
One final Question, does the display change cycles or is that stuck as well?
This will help you to determine the best course of action for you to resolve this issue.
Thank you
Tech Michael
Hi Thank you for that.
What you will need unfortunately is a new contro board for that unit.
To get that fixed, the only way is to send it to a local Miele dealer near you for repair because they dont sell that part, but they will replace it for you.
They usually arent very expensive but since it is that old, you might want to consider a replacement because they will charge labor for this as well as the part.
But try a web search in Norway for Miele and give them a call, or yu can look locally in the phone directory for coffee machine repaire service for a tech to come to you and do this for less:-)
Thank you and please dont forget to rate positively, I will then be able to scedule free follow ups for you in case you need me further on this.

Here are just a few trusty items that you can't go wrong with when popping the question.
Battery Operated Candles
We recommend these quite often in replacement of open flame votives and/or hurricanes. If you are indoors and the venue allows you to have burning candles then go for it! However, if you are proposing outdoors near the beach, snow, gardens, fields, etc. then battery operated candles are your new best friend. If the are placed in mason jars or glass votives you can't even tell they're flameless. You can buy these in bulk so you have plenty to enhance the romantic ambiance. There is nothing quite like a glowing setting.
Where To Buy: BatteryOperatedCandles.net, Bed Bath Beyond, Ambiance Home Comfort, Pier 1, Target
You can never go wrong with a mix of her favorite songs playing in the background. Nowadays, you or someone close to you has an ipod and ipod speakers, so use what you already have to set a sweet melody to your proposal.
Picture Frames
If you are struggling with ways to add more personalized touches to your proposal setting, add your photos! It does wonders and it's free! Use frames from your house and fill them with photos from your favorite places, events and moments together. It's like walking down memory lane with only the joyful memories.
Beverages and Dessert
Let's just be frank. You can't go wrong with getting a girl her favorite dessert and a glass of her favorite beverage. It's worth having these delicious goodies waiting to celebrate her "yes!" Plus, chocolate cake and a glass of champagne just look amazing together, so really you're also beautifying your proposal location.
Want to create her dream marriage proposal? We have the perfect way. Contact The Yes Girls to get started on your personalized marriage proposal, wedding plan, vow renewal, anniversary or date night today! We're so excited to work with you!

High Street mergers are like hen's teeth, but such has been consumer appetite over the last decade that mobile phone sellers have proved they are not like any other retailer.
These two chains began to look like one another a while ago, with laptops on sale in Carphone and a decent selection of mobiles in Currys. How bigger means better can be explained through a lessening of competition, huge savings from store closures and the creation of a European giant with more clout to deal with key suppliers Apple and Samsung.
As well as setting up phenomenally successful companies, Sir Charles Dunstone has rather a good record in trading his assets. Four years on from the demerger of Carphone Warehouse and TalkTalk, both sides are flourishing. A half share in Carphone's stores estate was bought back from Best Buy for a song.
Just when speculation was mounting that he might sell TalkTalk to any of the hungry telecoms groups on the prowl, such a counter-intuitive move — if consummated — explains why he earns the big bucks. Who'd want to be in Phones4u's shoes today?Reuse content

Eurozone economic growth is close to a standstill, with Germany's prospects deteriorating further this month, according to a closely watched survey.
Economic activity barely increased in August, purchasing managers' indices for the 17-country region indicated on Tuesday - and the manufacturing sector went into reverse for the first time in two years.
With evidence building that the euro zone debt crisis is increasingly undermining business confidence, the latest readings suggested growth would remain weak in the coming months, adding to the difficulties facing the region's leaders as they seek to restore confidence in Europe's monetary union.
"Most worrying is the near-stagnation in Germany, which suggests that the region's main engine of growth has stalled," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, which produces the indices. German service sector expectations about the business outlook registered the biggest drop since the survey began in mid-1997, Markit said.
France, however, reported a surprise - although slight - recovery in private-sector activity in August, and overall, the euro zone purchasing managers' indices were not as bleak as economists had feared, boosting hopes the region would escape a double-dip contraction.
"The PMIs continue to point to very modest growth, but no recession," said Marco Valli at Unicredit in Milan.
Led by Germany, the euro zone economy grew strongly in the first three months of this year. But since then, continental Europe's largest economies have been affected by the slowdown elsewhere in the world. This has dampened exports, with domestic fiscal austerity measures acting as a further brake on activity. Data last week showed German gross domestic product expanded by just 0.1 per cent in the second quarter compared with the first. Euro zone GDP increased by 0.2 per cent over the same period.
The latest purchasing managers' indices, regarded as up-to-date indicators of growth trends, suggested growth in the third quarter could prove even weaker.
The "composite" index, covering services and manufacturing, remained at 51.1 in August, unchanged from July's level, but otherwise the lowest for almost two years.
The manufacturing index dropped from 50.4 to 49.7 in August - falling below the 50 level, which marks the boundary between expansion and contraction for the first time since September 2009.
For Germany, the composite index fell from 52.5 to 51.3, the lowest for more than two years. The country's manufacturing index remain unchanged at 52 but its service sector index dropped sharply, from 52.9 to 50.4 - perhaps an indication that domestic-orientated companies were suffering the worst decline in confidence as a result of the euro zone debt crisis.
Highlighting worries about Germany's economy, the Mannheim-based ZEW institute's index of German investor sentiment fell sharply in August to minus 37.6 points - the lowest since December 2008. It blamed the U.S. credit downgrade, euro zone woes and weak German growth data.
Earlier this week, the Germany's Bundesbank central bank forecast that the country's economy would continue to grow in the second half of 2011 - although "somewhat more slowly" than before. But it also foresaw a "range of global risk factors" - including worries about the US economy, a slowdown in emerging markets, and financial market nervousness.
In the latest indication of financial market nervousness over the euro zone, the European Central Bank reported a further increase to almost €130-billion in the amount parked overnight by banks in its deposit facility rather than lent to other banks - taking the level back towards the €145-billion peak seen earlier this month.Report Typo/Error
