PS 54IS/UEA5Y1 Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. The PS 54IS is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Prada Sport collections 2015 and 2016.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. Rectangular models are particularly suitable for round and oval faces. The rectangular shape also builds a bridge to corners and edges from an image aspect. The metal frame is very light and comfortable to wear. It is both robust and classy. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive. Brown is the dominant colour for sunglass lenses. They radiate warmth and look very soft. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection. Whether driving or out on the slopes, your own safety sometimes depends on your angle of vision. The polarizing lenses in this model block the glare from reflecting surfaces, such as water, glass or snow and best sight is guaranteed.
And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

Do any of you just use all cash?
I have a problem with my DH freaking out with me carrying cash. Also even though DR says he gets by with just his debit we have friends 2 couples that were travelling to Florida on an airline that just folded. The one who charged got their money back but it took a while. The one that used their debit were out of luck.
We do travel once a year and I use a CC. DH will not allow me to use my debit.
How are things working out for you?
I watch every cent and do not have any CC debt except for a generator on a 12 month plan with no interest! That would be paid off except I have a lot of medical bills. My co pays after insurance.

Smart DH. Credit cards have more protection than debit cards do.
We use our CC every chance we get because we get cash back from it. We're not going to give up free money. Well, almost free, because the card does have a small annual fee, but we get back way more than it costs us. The CC is paid in full every month, so we don't pay interest.
We do carry large sums of well-hidden cash when we travel. We seem to accumulate cash here and there throughout the year, and any cash we get, we put towards gas money for travel and use it then. We don't carry it all in one place and don't flash our wallets around. Cash in our wallets at any given time is usually small amounts, just enough to fill the gas tank so around $100 at a time.
In our daily lives, we do not carry much cash. If we lose our CC, we can replace it and contest any fraudulent charges. With cash, it's just gone.05-04-2012, 10:00 AM #3
If you are out of debt and can use your card responsibly, I don't see an issue with using it to make purchases you want that extra protection on, provided you can pay it off right away. one good rule of thumb I use- it doesn't go my cc unless I have $ sitting in the bank to cover it, no 'I'll put it on my cc right now, I can pay it off when I get paid next week'. Nope, cash has to be sitting there at time of purchase.
We plan to take a major vacation in the next year or two and we'll be putting it on the cc- but not unitl we have the $, in full, to pay for it. I would also do this for major purchases like appliances or such, for the extra consumer protection.

I typically use my debit card instead of cash. I just HATE having small change; it really annoys me. But I would never use anything other than a credit card for travel related expenses. I usually use my credit card for large purchases as well. I pay off the balance instantly if I use the CC, but want the extra layer of protection... especially when travelling.05-04-2012, 10:54 AM #5
I don't carry cash, partly b/c I don't like to have that much cash on me at a time. I do use my debit card all the time. I know myself better than to think I'd actually pay off a CC every month when the bill comes! lol05-04-2012, 11:19 AM #6

We used to use cash, and it became a big hassle. Going to the bank, trying to break 20's to have the right amount in a certain category. Carrying around large amounts of toonies and loonies ($2 and $1 coins in Canada) for stuff like food. Very annoying to have a wallet full of 30 coins because that was the change from our cash budget. We are debit users now. I track everything daily, nothing is spent unless its on our written budget. With dh on board, it has been much easier than cash. We also have "bank the rest" set up through our bank, every debit purchase is rounded up, the extra change is placed automatically in our savings account. Now I don't have a jar full of pennies.
Trips are done with a cc, after it is saved for in the savings account.05-04-2012, 03:42 PM #7
we did only cash for many many yrs....worked great! i just used to keep a change cup in my car for the coins and when it got full i would go to coinstar...
we do use debit also. we have not had CC's in about eight yrs now....we just both got 2 seperate cc's to help riase our scores. although i must say, i have a really hard time using it after being only cash for so long05-04-2012, 03:45 PM #8

I use all cash around my local area....seldom charge anything......other than gas, and charge gas just because it is faster than pre-pay and less hassle with lines.
I would not use cash for travel, buying an appliance or other large item- furniture, etc......just because of what you said. Easier to get your money back with cc............I don't use a debit at all....don't have one.05-05-2012, 10:55 AM #9

We do cash only. I pay rent, electricity, phone/internet, water, groceries, doctors, etc in cash. Yesterday we spent over €1500 to convert our car to LPG and I paid in cash. I have no problems with it. It works for me.
I'm not sure why someone would freak out about carrying cash. Of course, if you lose it, it's gone.05-06-2012, 09:28 AM #10
I always use cash. Dave talks a lot in his books about the benefits of doing this. The main one is that you may spend less. He tells how McDonalds average order jumped from $7 to $12 when they started accepting credit cards. I know I am more conscious of price when I have to count out the money vs swipe the card.
If I chose to use my debit card (for online purchases or safety at the gas station) I just move the cash to a "to be deposited" envelope.
It's not a bad idea to use a cc just for security on travel purchases but I'd limit it to situations like that.
Also I figure if I loose my full wallet of cash twice a year, I'm still losing less than I was on interest when I got into credit card trouble05-06-2012, 12:56 PM #11

IN every day life i usually use cash (about 75% of the time). When i empty my pockets at the end of the day i put my change in a coffee can and most of my $1's in a little stash box. When i get airline tickets and what not i always use my credit card. I get cash back on my discover card, so i use it when i can. I just hate to use it too much !....lol05-06-2012, 02:08 PM #12

I use cash only for my day to day spending, such as buying food or trips to Target to get cleaning supplies and things.
I use my CC for gas purchases. I have twin 3 year olds and it is a pain in the butt to get them out of their carseats, walk in to pay cash, bring them back outside, put them back in the car, pump the gas and if we go under the amount I paid, I have to drag them back into the store again to get my extra money refunded, then back out to the car and put them back in their carseats. Just too much stress. I don't use my debit card for gas because we have had major CC theft off prepay gas pumps in my area. They are putting "skimmers" on the machines and then clearing out bank accounts. If they get my CC number they can only charge so much and it will all be refunded by the CC company. If they clean out my checking account it could take a week to get that money back and in the mean time I am bouncing checks all over town.
I use my CC for buying airline tickets and hotel stays if we are traveling, doesn't happen all that often. Other than that I don't use my CC because I am trying to get the balance paid off.

About Us
We are a family owned and operated business serving the residents and businesses of Montgomery County since 1984. We are three brothers who were born and raised in Montgomery County, and we still reside here as well. We are committed to providing the most reliable and dependable service at the most competitive rates while at the same time doing our part to protect our environment.
Our Philosophy
Recycling and refuse removal are an important part of our everyday life. Keeping our environment clean and sustainable is of the utmost importance. However, you shouldn't have to worry or be concerned about your recycling or refuse service. We feel our customers have enough to worry about as it is. We strive to make our services dependable, reliable, affordable, and worry free.
Our Green Mission
Every year Potomac Disposal recycles thousands of tons of glass, aluminum, plastic, tin, cardboard, mixed paper, newspaper, metal, and yard waste generated by Montgomery County residents and businesses.
At Potomac Disposal we equip our vehicles with the OPS Oil Purification System, providing many environmental benefits. For example:
OPS eliminates the need for oil drains, reduces oil consumption, and reduces waste oil generation. Because the OPS keeps the engine oil soot-free, the engine burns CLEANER!
Installing the system on the trucks is costly to us, but the benefits to the environment far outweigh the cost.
Our trucks run on ultra low-sulfur diesel. This is the cleanest burning fuel on the market!
For front end containers requiring locks, we use the Serious Lock Gravity Lock-Bar System. This system does not require the driver to repeatedly get in and out of the truck to unlock the can, dump it, and re-lock. With this system the driver pulls up to the can and simply dumps it and moves on. This significantly reduces idling time, which in turn reduces air emissions!
Reducing our carbon footprint, improving air quality, and recycling thousands of tons of waste every year . . . This is Potomac Disposal's Green Mission.
Did you know?
Recycling one ton of paper saves an estimated 17 trees!
In Your Community
Helping to Serve Montgomery County's Needs
We are actively involved in the issues and concerns regarding Montgomery County's recycling goals and refuse removal needs as our President Lee Levine has been serving on the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protections Solid Waste Advisory Committee since 2004, with his late father Irvin serving ten years prior.
Giving Back to the Community
Since our inception, we have given back to the community through sponsorships and donations. Some of the organizations we have contributed to are the Olney Boys & Girls Clubs, the Central Union Mission, Clarksburg High School Boosters, Rebuilding Together, Blake High School, Farquhar Middle School, Magruder High School, the Montgomery County Community Foundation, the American Heart Association, and many more.
About Our Trucks
Driving around Montgomery County, you no doubt have seen one of our residential trash or recycle trucks. We are often asked, "What are those funny looking trucks"?
The funny looking trucks are called the EVO (trash) and ECO (recycling). The trucks are made by LoDal Incorporated, which is located in Iron Mountain, Michigan.
These vehicles are specifically designed for residential trash and recycling hauling. The vehicle weight is evenly distributed, which puts less stress on our community streets. The EVO and ECO also use large balloon-like tires to further displace weight. Other companies use a standard truck cab with a packer body connected to the back. This puts all of the weight of the vehicle load to the rear tires, which puts enormous pressure on our streets.
The design of the cab and windshield enables our drivers to have a larger field of vision than a standard truck allows. This is an important safety feature when working in residential areas as well as when driving down busy thoroughfares throughout our county.
We are the only company in the state of Maryland to utilize these specialty vehicles.
The EVO and ECO cost more than a regular trash or recycling truck, but the benefits to our community as well as to our level of service far outweigh the cost.

Contributor BLT posted this elsewhere, and it's worth the laugh.
PSA from BLT about the dangers of dry, cold weather and static electricity:
"So it's been damned cold here for weeks. The furnace is running more often than not. I'm making generous use of my new warm house-shoes.
I discovered they're pretty good electrical insulators as well.
The furnace and the cold weather is keeping things rather dry. I went to the restroom to take care of "all my business"
The act of pulling down my sweatpants and undies builds up quite a nice charge. I can tell because all the hairs on my leg are standing straight out. I sit on the toilet seat. I begin to urinate. The moment the stream makes contact with the toilet water, all the static electricity in me discharges through my…junk.
There is a loud "CRACK" that echoes forth from INSIDE THE BOWL.
All the hairs on my leg immediately fall back down into place.
I did not scream. The human body just isn't prepared to scream in such a situation. I just sat their in mild horror after experiencing one of the the most unique sensations of my entire life.
And for the rest of my years on this earth, I will ALWAYS kick off my house shoes and touch my finger to the mounting hardware on the light switch before taking care of "all my business."
I still laugh about this.

545 Internal balance
Hi all, long time observer really respect all your advice. Well this is my problem, the guy who built my engine drilled the counter weight closest to the flex plate. From what I read on here everyone adds metal to the crank. So is my crank toast or is there some chance of making it work. Thanks for any and all advice.
Why would the crank be "toast"? With a typical bob weight of around 2300 grams the Scat forged crank will internally balance with some weight removal most of the time.
I Just didn't see anyone on here that drilled there crank. Thank you for your reply.

2013 U-M Women's Soccer Schedule | Buy Tickets
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan women's soccer team released Friday (May 10) its schedule for the upcoming 2013 season, which features 12 total contests at the U-M Soccer Stadium and eight matches against teams that qualified for the 2012 NCAA Championship. Michigan is coming off one of the most successful seasons in program history, as the Wolverines compiled a 16-5-3 record last fall and reached the NCAA Sweet 16.
Michigan will open the season with six straight home matches, beginning Friday, Aug. 23, against UW-Milwaukee at 7:30 p.m. The premier match of the non-conference schedule will come on Sunday, Sept. 1, as the Wolverines welcomes San Diego State to the U-M Soccer Stadium. The Aztecs finished the 2012 season ranked No. 7 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire rankings and reached the NCAA Sweet 16. The Wolverines will also face Pepperdine, another NCAA Championship team, the following week (Sept. 6) and three in-state foes: Oakland (Aug. 25), Eastern Michigan (Aug. 30) and Detroit (Sept. 12).
Michigan will open the Big Ten Conference slate with a road match against Iowa on Sunday, Sept. 22. The Wolverines will play five Big Ten teams at the U-M Soccer Stadium this season, hosting Wisconsin (Sept. 27), Minnesota (Sept. 29), Indiana (Oct. 18) and Purdue (Oct. 20) before closing out the regular season with rival Ohio State on Senior Night (Nov. 2).
Two other Big Ten matches of note include Michigan's annual in-state clash with Michigan State on Thursday, Oct. 3, in East Lansing and a rematch with defending Big Ten champion Penn State on Sunday, Oct. 13, in State College, Pa. The Wolverines played Penn State to two draws last season -- both on the road -- but were eliminated on penalty kicks by the Nittany Lions in the NCAA Sweet 16.
The top eight teams in the conference will qualify for the Big Ten Tournament, to be held Nov. 6-10 at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Ill. The first round of the NCAA Championship will begin the following week (Nov. 15-17), with all matches taking place at host sites. The 2013 College Cup will be held Dec. 6-8 in Cary, N.C., hosted by Campbell University.
The Wolverines, who set eight new program records during the 2012 campaign, placed third in the Big Ten with a 7-2-2 mark, finishing in the top three for the first time since 2004. They earned their second NCAA Tournament bid in the last three seasons and reached the NCAA Sweet 16 for the third time in program history. Michigan returns nine starters off last year's squad, including senior striker Nkem Ezurike (Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia/Sackville) and a pair of All-Big Ten first team defenders in fifth-year senior Holly Hein (Castaic, Calif./West Ranch) and senior Shelina Zadorsky (London, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas).
Ticket Information: Season tickets are on sale today. Reserved chairback seats are $60, while general admission tickets are either $40 (adult) or $25 (youth/senior). Some of the benefits of becoming a season ticket holder include four complimentary general admission ticket vouchers for any men's or women's soccer match, an autographed 2013 team picture (or poster), priority access to purchase NCAA Tournament tickets, and an invitation to attend a training session and tour of the U-M Soccer Complex. Tickets can be purchased online at MGoBlue.com/tickets or through the Michigan Athletics Ticket Office at 1-866-296-MTIX. Fans that were season ticket holders last season will have the option to renew in early July, while individual match tickets will go on sale in August.
Summer Camps: The Michigan women's soccer team will hold four camps this summer: two commuter camps (June 17-21, June 24-28), a one-day elite recruiting camp (June 30) and two overnight recruiting camps (July 7-10, July 14-17). For more information and to register online, visit MGoBlue.com/camps.

- Patient Comments: Bocavirus - Symptoms
- Find a local Doctor in your town
What is the prognosis of bocavirus infection?
The prognosis of patients with bocavirus detected is unclear because it is not known if bocavirus is responsible, alone or in part, for any disease or infection. However, when bocavirus strains are detected, they are frequently found associated (from about 45%-93% of patients tested by experienced investigators) with other viruses known to cause infections. The viruses that are identified in association with bocavirus are of several different types:
- RSV (respiratory syncytial virus)
- Adenovirus
- Parainfluenza virus
- Enterovirus
- Herpes simplex virus
As research on bocavirus progresses, other types of associated viruses are likely to be found. The prognosis for patients with these viruses is usually good, especially if patients are seen and treated by a medical caregiver early in the infection. However, for a few patients who develop severe symptoms with these viral infections, the prognosis may range from fair to poor.
Can bocavirus infection be prevented?
Bocavirus strains have not yet been shown definitively to cause infection; prevention methods await development and are likely to be investigated if these viruses are shown to participate in causing infection. Currently, there is no vaccine in development for human use.

Really excited to have Martin Buschkamp on the show. Unbeaten at 6-0 with 1 no-contest he is one to watch in the European Featherweight scene. But this is toughest test to date against the experienced Finnish fighter Matteus Lahdesmaki (12-8-3)
Buschkamp in action
Plus Brum/Pastor is a bout that should of happened ages ago both guys impressed last year in CWFC action and i can't wait to see what happens when they meet
Really looking forward to this fight, Pastor poses some serious problems with his heavy hands and nasty guillotine.
It should be a cracking scrap.
If Brum gets the job done here surely he deserves a title shot?
So is Brum ;)
Pastor is a very awkward and unpredictable opponent and James is one of the most improved fighters in the UK in my opinion. It's a hard one to call this one. Good luck to both guys.

Big Bangs Theory
Flattering thick fringe, à la Zooey Deschanel, played a starring role on the spring runways. Here's how to get the look, according to Mark Townsend, a celebrity hairstylist based in Los Angeles.
What to tell your stylist: Ask for bangs that start one to three inches back from the hairline, with jagged ends that hit right between the brows and the lashes. Trim every two weeks or so. (Yes, they're a commitment.)
How to style them: Work volumizing mousse (Townsend likes Dove Style+Care Nourishing Amplifier Mousse; $4, walmart.com) through damp hair. Holding a blow-dryer set to medium above your head, dry bangs to the left, then switch to the right. By the time they're dry, the bangs will hang straight down. Apply hair spray to a small brush, then run through bangs to set.

If at First You Don't Succeed: An Experimental Investigation of the Impact of Repitition Options on Corporate Takeovers
Ann B. Gillette and Thomas H. Noe
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
Working Paper 2000-9
August 2000
Download the full text of this paper in PDF format - (223 KB)
This paper models, and experimentally simulates, the free-rider problem in a takeover when the raider has the option to "resolicit," that is, to make a new offer after an offer has been rejected. In theory, the option to resolicit, by lowering offer credibility, increases the dissipative losses associated with free riding. In practice, the outcomes of our experiment, while quite closely tracking theory in the effective absence of an option to resolicit, differed dramatically from theory when a significant probability of resolicitation was introduced: The option to resolicit reduced the costs of free riding fairly substantially. Both the raider offers and the shareholder tendering responses generally exceeded equilibrium predictions.
JEL classification: G3, C7
Key words: corporate takeovers, experimental economics, resolicit

Yet another journalist
This time brown girl, tells me
That my sauce is unreliable
The epistemic politics of which
I do not care to unwind
Because in this business
There is no humanity
Just secular commodity
We know
That its code
For not caring
Enough to risk failure
And marginalisation
Such moral capitulation
What did I hear you say?
"Lets get more Muslims in the media"
May the martyrs of Motijheel
Be granted high station
And spared the indignity
Of being whitened up
For the anglo-liberal gaze
Only to shift
When someone strips.
May they be spared
Political exploitation from home and abroad
From the frames of foolish friends and enemies.
Selling "Talibanisation or Secularization"
"We are the bulwarks against fundamentalism", or
Some teenager's notion of "Bangla Spring"
May the terrified
Reach safety
Wise counsel
And witness the facts
If they wish
Without intimidation, or
Fear of recrimination
As for those
Who cover up or dismiss
There is a word, in Arabic
Whose literal meaning
Has you down to a kaaf

We've found this to be incredibly confusing to explain to the end users, even though clicking the "Left Justify" button restores the proper left alignment. Our application relies on a lot of buttons, so this becomes an issue for us more than normal.

I've updated patch and now it seems to work pretty good. Also, it works ok and makes deletion better for FireFox and Opera (especially - <button> tag), just change condition to .IsGekoLike instead of .IsSafari. Fix code marked with comment: fix for webkit-based browsers (http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2606) - deletes button

@dmitryx, I haven't looked at your code throughly, but it looks like a good solution.
In any case, this bug impacts on quite a few users (Safari users + users that use form elements). It makes me think that maybe we can wait for V3 to implement it, so we avoid getting the current code (more) bloated. In V3, the fix could be part of the "forms" plugin, isolating it to those who really need it (V3 will be strongly plugin based).

FCKeditor was retired and is no longer supported. All active development was moved to its successor, CKEditor 3.x, that is a fully mature and far superior product. We recommend you upgrade as soon as possible since this issue is no longer a problem in current code base.
Works in CKEditor.

Loserific Commissions/Ashli Pingry
Name of Commissioner: Loserific Commissions aka Ashli Pingry aka prettypleasecostumes.
ALTHOUGH, she's attempting to change her website/business name.
Website/C.com gallery:
Character commissioned and series/video game (please include if this was the entire costume, just a jacket, prop, accessory, wig, etc.): Two costumes: Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter, two full costumes.
Links to picture(s) of your commissioned item-
never received
Timeline (how long your order took to process): Started order in late March for Akon Dallas, costumes were to be done by May 31st.
Never received!!!
Describe your Experience. Pros, Cons, Comments.
Pros-None really. Like other postings about Ashil, in the beginning, she seemed nice and corresponded well. Then...all down hill.
Cons-Never received costumes. Bad communication. She lied numerous times saying the costumes were in the mail. She had pathetic excuses-family emergency, boyfriend lost his job, etc...all excuses made long after the costumes should have arrived. I did receive a partial refund from Paypal when Paypal ruled against her, but I'm still waiting to receive more than $200. Paid Ashli $430. In her last correspondence to me, she stated she felt she was entitled to keep the money since she worked on the costumes. So, I'm out over $200 and no costumes.
It seems she conned a bunch of people in recent months. I know she attended some Convention in early July. What I believe she did was take money from me and others, use it to make costumes that she sold at the Convention.
She needs to refund me the remaining amount or at least send me one of the two costumes I ordered and paid for.
I see she's getting trashed all over the internet. She needs to make an attempt to repay those she stole from to attempt to save her image.
What's really sad about this, these costumes were for my young teens who saved and did chores and babysitting to raise the $430 needed. So, she lied to my kids and stole from them.
Final Grade: F. I wish there was a lower grade. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PERSON. She lies and she steals and she feels entitled to do so.

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Pittsburgh Latrobe
Top Business Hotel
Airport shuttle
Friendly staff. Fire pit and outdoor water feature and seating were relaxing. Long black hair hanging down from curtain onto the heating/cooling unit. Long black hair on my pillowcase. Pubic hair on the zipped up linens used for the pull-out sofa. Steve did replace linens and vacuumed curtain. No one ever came to fix shower door. It made a loud cracking noise every time it opened. They stocked soy and skim milk for breakfast. When I complained to Natalie, the housekeeping manager went out and purchased a gallon of 2% milk the next morning.
Hi def large flat screen. Clean clean rooms Shower and toilet not together
Everything was very clean and well kept. Rooms were very nice Fitness center was much smaller than expected for how expensive the room was.
It's near Latrobe Airport. It's difficult to find good rates for this hotel.
Room was large, bed was comfortable, staff was friendly. Shower had some mildew, water from shower upstairs was very loud. The whirlpool was too hot and the water jets weren't set properly, so water was going all over the floor. Overall, the price was pretty high for a 3-star room.

This two pound laptop will run only Microsofts Windows XP (for now) on an 8.9-inch or 10-inch wide LCD display with a 1024 x 600 resolution, with 1GB of RAM, a traditional 2.5-inch 80GB hard disk, 1.3-megapixel webcam and Bluetooth 2.0. The company also claims to have a superior keyboard than its competitors' and battery life good for seven hours of use though well believe that when we see it.
The notebook is expected to be available this June in Europe at between 299 and 699 ($471 - $1100). Though MSI has yet to confirm which processor will power the Wind, the June release window means its almost certainly going to be powered by Intels upcoming Atom processors.

RPT-BAY STREET-Steel slump puts crimp in Labrador Trough
* Iron ore price slump hurts development in region
* Shares of junior producers active in Trough struggle
* Resource analysts see value in shares of some players
By Julie Gordon
TORONTO, Dec 2 (Reuters) - "Strike while the iron is hot," the old saying goes, and a legion of iron ore miners setting up in Canada's remote Labrador Trough want to do just that. But, for now, they have to wait.
Iron ore, the main component of steel, has turned ice cold in recent months, with the benchmark price plunging to $86.70 a tonne in September from $149.40 in April. It has since recovered to about $116 a tonne.
The downward spiral has jeopardized the viability of the sub-Arctic region's vast iron ore deposits just as the first new mines in decades were opening. Some projects are being put on hold.
As a consequence, shares of junior miners such as Alderon Iron Ore Corp, Champion Iron Mines Ltd and Century Iron Mines Corp, have tumbled as projects that looked rich at $150 a tonne suddenly lost their luster. Continued...

The one that looks like a T. anybody got one?
It may be worth your while to call up Apple and see if they will send you a replacement. I called them up and asked if I could buy one, since I lost mine, and they just ended up shipping me one free of charge. My computer was under the 1-year original warranty, and perhaps that made a difference, but perhaps not. They didn't seem too concerned with trying to "sell" one to me, which is what I called up for.
EDIT: Oh, and if you do this, you will have to mention 80,000 times that you're using a Power Mac, as they stop listening after you say "Airport" and assume you're on a portable.
LimeiBook86 on the forums here has some, shoot him a PM.
I can send you one. send me a PM if you still need one.
Thanks, guys. I found one.
Anyone have an extra one? I think I lost mine
Check eBay. They're pretty cheap on there. I was looking on eBay for one because I thought I had lost it in my move from college to home and ripped apart my entire room looking for it since I'd need it next year. Turns out, it was attached to my G5 the entire time like it should be

Our 50 favorite film fools
Get stupefied by TONY's extremely smart list of dumb.
Film fools
Click to the next image to see our 50 favorite film fools
50. Ron Burgundy, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
Will Ferrell's parody of ripe '70s machismo isn't quite the biggest idiot in this hilarious comedy (brace yourself for No. 26). But the manly TV-news anchor set the template for Ferrell's signature blustery buffoonery; and anyone who declares with utmost certainty that San Diego is a German phrase meaning "a whale's vagina" deserves a spot on this list.—David Fear
49. Otis, Superman (1978)
Who knows why a mastermind like Lex Luthor keeps this bumbling henchman around to send his nuclear missiles to the wrong coordinates and ask a bunch of asinine questions? ("Are we going to Addis Ababa, Mistuh Loo-tor?") As embodied by a pudgy Ned Beatty—and supported by his own dopey theme music—he's a nincompoop we love.—Joshua Rothkopf
48. Romy White and Michele Weinberger, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997)
Adorably vacant, these blond L.A. dim bulbs have little to show for their post-high-school lives except for drawers of babydoll tees and dreams deferred. Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow play this clique of two with ferocity.—Joshua Rothkopf
47. Zed, Police Academy 2, 3 and 4 (1985–87)
The comic cop series got a Dadaist jolt with the introduction of Bobcat Goldthwait's caterwauling thug-turned-cadet. He's a lovably deranged lunatic who garbles his words, breaks down doors with screams and has an unhealthy obsession with Family Affair. In a formulaic franchise, he's the constantly surprising and gut-busting wild card.—Keith Uhlich
46. Jeff Spicoli, Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
"That was my skull!" the surfing stoner says, whapping his head with the sole of a sneaker. Other resonant aspects to Sean Penn's legendary character: He prefers his pizza delivered to the classroom, his old man's got "this ultimate set of tools" (he can fix it) and he looks at waves with the attitude of: Hey, bud, let's party.—Joshua Rothkopf
45. Dr. Gonzo, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
Never take advice from a fool, unless he's your lawyer: In Terry Gilliam's beyond-trippy adaptation of reporter Hunter S. Thompson's unconventional roman à clef, Benicio Del Toro plays the whacked-out sidekick to Johnny Depp. He's like Daffy Duck infused with a constant stream of uppers, downers and who knows what else.—Keith Uhlich
44. Jerry Lundegaard, Fargo (1996)
He just wants his wife kidnapped ("For chris'sake here!"). William H. Macy's timid Minnesotan auto salesman has an extortion plan that goes spectacularly awry in the Coen brothers' beloved crime comedy. Rarely has it been so pleasurable watching a dunderhead squirm and stutter his way into trouble.—Keith Uhlich
43. Shelley Darlingson, The House Bunny (2008)
Evicted from her Eden of carefree nudity (Hef's Playboy Mansion), this bimbette has nowhere to wobble except to the lame sorority across town, where she just might find a purpose. Comedy treasure Anna Faris modulates Shelley's awakening with just the right amount of dimness.—Joshua Rothkopf
42. Roger Rabbit, Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
The cartoon star of Robert Zemeckis's live-action–animation blockbuster is wrongly accused of murder, but that doesn't stop him from driving everyone Looney Tunes with his dopey voice and frenzy of Acme explosive antics. The batty bunny is ultimately endearing; just don't give him liquor. P-b-b-b-b-blease!—Keith Uhlich
41. Olive Neal, Bullets Over Broadway (1994)
One of Woody Allen's many memorable female inventions, this wanna-be stage actress is a hazardous combination of utter ineptitude and obnoxious entitlement (her boyfriend is the mobster producing the show). The role required a blazing mind—and got one in Jennifer Tilly, who roots out all of Olive's delicious denseness.—Joshua Rothkopf
40. Garth Algar, Wayne's World (1992)
He taught us how to schwing with the best of them. Whether romancing his dream girl to Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" or pontificating on the sexiness of Bugs Bunny in drag, Dana Carvey's goofball metalhead makes idiocy seem almost cool. He plays a mean drum solo, too—we're not worthy!—Keith Uhlich
39. Aldous Snow, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)
Less a modern Jim Morrison than a shaggy-headed hood ornament, Russell Brand completely owns this comedy in a handful of scenes, gyrating to his hit song "Inside of You" and embarrassing all within earshot. The character demanded a sequel, Get Him to the Greek, that jettisoned Jason Segel completely.—Joshua Rothkopf
38. Alan Garner, The Hangover (2009)
The omega male of the Wolf Pack, Zach Galifianakis's bearded manchild ping-pongs between blissful stupidity ("I didn't know they gave out rings at the Holocaust!") and shockingly stunted maturity. (Seriously, what adult would make a baby mime masturbation?) Alan is the heart and soul of the group; just don't mistake him for the brains.—David Fear
37. Ulysses Everett McGill, O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
In the Coen brothers' Southern gothic comedy, George Clooney adopts a backwoods accent and a full-hick gait as the leader of three chain-gang escapees. But between the seductive sirens and vengeful Klan members they encounter, this boob and his boys just can't seem to stay on track—except when they're singing bluegrass.—Keith Uhlich
36. Brigadier General Jack Ripper, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
"Our precious bodily fluids" found no more ardent defender than this deranged officer who, with the merest nudge into Commie paranoia, sends the world tumbling toward nuclear apocalypse. If Stanley Kubrick's genius satire had a lesser actor than Sterling Hayden in the role, it would barely register as a comedy.—Joshua Rothkopf
35. Anthony "Man" Stoner, Up in Smoke (1978)
Tommy Chong had already perfected his spaced-out persona on Cheech and Chong's comedy albums, but it was the duo's film debut that established him as the Rosetta atoner of the movies. Every screen pothead owes him a debt, though Chong's fully baked burnout makes his fellow cinematic tokers seem like Rhodes Scholars by comparison.—David Fear
34. Bruce Baldwin, His Girl Friday (1940)
Ralph Bellamy's definitive straight man personifies everything this zany screwball comedy despises: a boring job and a bland married life in Albany. No wonder Rosalind Russell is drawn back to the urbane embrace of Cary Grant. Bellamy's acting is no less impressive, even as the butt of the jokes.—Joshua Rothkopf
33. Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump (1994)
Tom Hanks's Candide-like dunce—he of the scatterbrained stare and slow-witted drawl—survives all the tumultuous events of 20th-century American history in Robert Zemeckis's award-winning, decades-spanning farce. Plus, he's probably the most quoted movie imbecile ever—we'd bet a box of chocolates on that.—Keith Uhlich
32. Stan, Sons of the Desert (1933)
In what's considered the best of Laurel and Hardy's features, our man Stan's "bright" idea for attending a Shriners-like convention hinges on a head-slappingly dense item: a doctor's note written by a veterinarian. A fine mess, naturally, ensues. Memo to self: Never rely on a naive goof to keep your story straight to an angry spouse. It'll end in broken houseware.—David Fear
31. Mongo, Blazing Saddles (1974)
Former NFL star Alex Karras's frontier lunkhead can knock out a horse in one punch, but he's dumb enough to fall for the old bomb-inside-a-fake-Candygram trick. "Mongo only pawn in game of life," the henchman muses philosophically in Mel Brooks's parody Western—the main takeaway being, Mongo no like impersonal pronouns.—David Fear
30. George W. Bush, W. (2008)
Josh Brolin plays our 43rd President with fratboy petulance in Oliver Stone's satiric biopic. From his grotesquely posturing strut to his perpetually pouty expression, he's the commander-in-chief as self-righteous numskull. If this guy can hold the highest office in the land, then anyone can.—Keith Uhlich
29. Leo Bloom, The Producers (1968)
No one did unhinged hysteria better than Gene Wilder in Mel Brooks's showbiz satire, the launching pad for the Broadway smash decades later. Bloom, an accountant, is exactly the dupe required for the plot's ridiculous share-selling scam; he's also very close to a frightened child in need of a hug.—Joshua Rothkopf
28. Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, Dumb & Dumber (1994)
They ask someone from Austria about "put[ting] another shrimp on the barbie, mate!" and ought to be kept as far away from icy, tongue-attracting poles as possible. The question isn't whether Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels's road-tripping knuckleheads earn the titular descriptors; it's which of these morons is merely the "dumb" one.—David Fear
27. Professor Julius Kelp, The Nutty Professor (1963)
Jerry Lewis may have played both sides of this Jekyll-and-Hyde story, but it's Kelp—the bucktoothed loser who's equally hopeless in the classroom and the weight room—that gives Lewis license to go all-out on the geekishness. It's the apex of a career devoted to playing manic manchildren.—David Fear
26. Brick Tamland, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
All the elements come together for Steve Carell's legendary, career-defining performance: the plastic grin, the weatherman's comb-over, the 48 IQ, the random asides ("I ate a big red candle!"). In his own serene way, Brick is the movie's ultimate vortex of stupidity.—Joshua Rothkopf
25. Floyd, True Romance (1993)
Who's that pretty face on the couch? Why, it's Brad Pitt, making the most of his cameo as a cheerfully carefree stoner ("You wanna watch some TV or omething'?") in this Quentin Tarantino–penned crime thriller. Even when the room's filled with gun-toting mobsters, this jovial pothead never loses his high.—Keith Uhlich
24. Homer Simpson, The Simpsons Movie (2007)
True, everyone's favorite golden-hued doofus is better known for putting the boob in boob tube. But given the sheer idiocy Homer displays in this feature (e.g., inadvertently turning Springfield into a toxic-waste Thunderdome), his big-screen incarnation deserves a mention. That "Spider-Pig" theme song is Homerfoolery at its best.—David Fear
23. Borat, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
Sacha Baron Cohen's faux-Kazakh journalist is not only a triumph of Method immersion; he's a prime example of using cultural cluelessness as a form of comedic jujitsu. All of which is a fancy way of saying that his derailing of a dinner party via a plastic bag of feces will make you lose control of your bladder.—David Fear
22. Frito Pendejo, Idiocracy (2006)
He's a slack-jawed dope who got his law degree at a Costco ("Luckily, my dad was an alumnus and pulled some strings")—a guy who likes money and masturbating. But in the nightmarish future of Mike Judge's prophetic comedy, Dax Shepard is also one of the smarter folks.—Joshua Rothkopf
21. Emma "Billie" Dawn, Born Yesterday (1950)
Judy Holliday had already become famous for playing this bubbleheaded moll on Broadway, so it was a no-brainer to have her reprise the role in George Cukor's screen adaptation. The result not only turned Holliday into a star; it set the template for every dumb-blond type from Marilyn Monroe onward.—David Fear
20. Chad Feldheimer, Burn After Reading (2008)
Already on this list, Brad Pitt is back—older and, if possible, stupider—in the Coen brothers' CIA comedy. Pitt's gym-bunny-turned-amateur-blackmailer shows that the term dumb blond is hardly limited to females. Worried about the "security of your shit"? You should be when Chad's around.—Keith Uhlich
19. Buck Laughlin, Best in Show (2000)
To many eyes the most consistently hilarious member of the Christopher Guest troupe, Fred Willard eclipses all his other efforts with this dim-witted color commentator. Bored out of his skull at a dog show, Buck resorts to inappropriate notes about bench-pressing and—jaw-droppingly—the foreign inclination to eat canine contestants.—Joshua Rothkopf
18. Billy Madison, Billy Madison (1995)
Before he became an ambassador for enraged frat-dudes, Adam Sandler gave the world the ultimate arrested adolescent with this character, who must repeat and pass grades one through 12. Not that this makes Billy any smarter: His answer during a climactic academic decathlon prompts the quizmaster to declare, "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it."—David Fear
17. Osgood Fielding III, Some Like It Hot (1959)
Chief among the many pleasures in Billy Wilder's masterful cross-dressing burlesque is Joe E. Brown's millionaire retiree, a smitten idiot who falls for on-the-run musician Jack Lemmon's female alter ego. After a whirlwind romance of nighttime tangoing, the blissed-out moron gets the movie's groundbreaking last laugh: "Well, nobody's perfect!"—Keith Uhlich
16. Charles Pike, The Lady Eve (1941)
Henry Fonda's woman-shy ophiologist would rather spend his time with snakes than ladies, aw-shucksing his way out of every proposal. But even he can't hiss away the attentions of Barbara Stanwyck's seductive con artist, who makes this introverted, klutzy milquetoast literally fall head over heels.—Keith Uhlich
15. Dory, Finding Nemo (2003)
We're no ichthyologists, but we're pretty sure that Ellen DeGeneres's daffy Dory is the dimmest bulb in the deep blue sea. Afflicted with short-term memory loss and blissfully unaware of danger (her pet, "Squishy," is a poisonous jellyfish), she drives Albert Brooks's clown fish crazy. It's not her loyalty that's questionable—only her cognitive powers.—David Fear
14. Derek Zoolander, Zoolander (2001)
Ben Stiller's brainless male model joyfully splashes Diet Coke on his hair, seethes at the competition and desperately tries to unleash his signature look, the Magnum. But what if there's more to life than being "really, really, really ridiculously good-looking"? Then he'll open the Derek Zoolander Center for Children Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.—Joshua Rothkopf
13. May, Small Time Crooks (2000)
Though Woody Allen cast Elaine May as this farce's intellectual weak link, she's the film's ace in the hole. Anyone can play dumb; only a comedic dynamo like May can make you believe the character is actually dumb while still turning lines like, "I hate anything with a toothpick. They lodge in your throat" into deadpan zingers.—David Fear
12. Edward D. Wood Jr., Ed Wood (1994)
It takes a certain kind of talent to be the worst at something. In Tim Burton's b&w biopic, Johnny Depp plays the god-awful auteur behind Plan 9 from Outer Space with insinuating charm. Moronic though his ideas may be (UFOs made out of paper plates!), you'd follow him anywhere—even into the tentacles of a rubber octopus.—Keith Uhlich
11. H.I. McDunnough, Raising Arizona (1987)
"It ain't armed robbery if the gun ain't loaded!" That's the kind of twisted logic that makes this frenetic slapstick comedy so exhilarating, and Nicolas Cage's softheaded criminal turned devoted family man (who'll risk life and limb for a package of Huggies) a quintessential buffoon.—Keith Uhlich
10. Inspector Clouseau, the Pink Panther movies (1963–78)
Many actors have portrayed France's No. 1 law officer—Alan Arkin, Steve Martin, Roger Moore (really?)—but Peter Sellers owns the role. Introduced as a supporting character in the first Pink Panther movie, this clumsy, thoroughly incompetent and impenetrably accented detective eventually went from foil to front-and-center hero. Over the course of five films (six if you count the Sellers outtakes used in 1982's Trail of the Pink Panther), the British star displayed a peerless talent for physical comedy. No other recurring protagonist has shown such a facility for accidentally inciting mayhem; whether he's being ambushed by his loyal servant, Cato, or simply investigating a crime scene, Clouseau inevitably left chaos and wrecked furniture in his wake.—David Fear
9. Nigel Tufnel, This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
Has another comic creation infiltrated the backstage rock world as thoroughly as Christopher Guest's hapless axman? (The movie is so quotable, its stars were able to reunite as an actual touring band in front of capacity crowds.) Throw the film on for the millionth time, and it won't even take the now-iconic bits of metal lore to start you cry-laughing; all you'll need is a mere look at Nigel's face, gap-mouthed, debauched, ready to party. When he speculates about what he'd be doing were it not for heavy metal—"A salesman, like maybe in a, uh, haberdasher?"—the sincerity slays you. Nigel may be the composer of "Lick My Love Pump," but he's basically a simp who wants a job. Years before Behind the Music, director Rob Reiner's skewering of Zeppelinesque bombast amped up the gags to, you guessed it, 11.—Joshua Rothkopf
8. Monsieur Hulot, Mr. Hulot's Holiday
The great French mime Jacques Tati introduced his pipe-smoking, endlessly blundering alter ego in this b&w confection—a loosely connected series of vignettes set during one summer at the seashore. Hulot's a halfwit who can no more change a tire (the car rolls away) than he can sail a kayak (the vessel collapses in the middle, swallowing him like a ravenous sea creature). Yet no matter the obstacle, the character's fortitude somehow carries him through: Witness the hilarious tennis match in which his ridiculous serving pose actually gives him the upper hand.—Keith Uhlich
7. Lieutenant Frank Drebin, The Naked Gun (1988)
Leslie Nielsen had already spoofed his stoic performing style in Airplane!, but he'll be best remembered as oafish policeman Frank Drebin (who first appeared in short-lived 1982 sitcom Police Squad!). The incompetent flatfoot is tasked with protecting the Queen of England, which leads to everything from a car chase in a driver's-ed vehicle to concrete-dildo molestation. (Drebin even tackles Her Royal Highness missionary-style.) Our protagonist's cool-as-a-cucumber attitude is uproarious, even more so when it's interrupted by poisonous fighting fishes, pillows thrown in self-defense and the presence of a vivacious secretary with a "nice beaver" (an actual beaver, mind you). All this, and he practices safe sex.—Keith Uhlich
6. Bill S. Preston, Esq., and Theodore "Ted" Logan, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)
Most schools are lucky if they get one "whoa"-dacious dude, like Ridgemont High's resident surfing champ, Jeff Spicoli. San Dimas High, however, is blessed with two totally awesome space cadets. The future metalhead superstars of Wyld Stallyns don't know much about history ("Who's Joan of Arc?" "Uh…Noah's wife?"), but they do know how to show such visiting historical figures as Beethoven, Abe Lincoln and "So-craytes" a kick-ass time in the modern world. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves wisely add a dose of gosh-all wonderment to these goofy airheads, making their simplemindedness into something like a Zen philosophy: Just be nice instead of bogus, and everything will turn out most triumphantly.—David Fear
5. Navin R. Johnson, The Jerk (1979)
Allow us to get serious for moment—about a very unserious movie—and say that Steve Martin's first starring vehicle was as seismic a moment for comedy as Marlon Brando's On the Waterfront was for drama. (The two eras ought to be divided into "Before Jerk" and "After Jerk," though those initials might cause problems.) In stand-up circles, Martin's brand of arrow-through-the-head silliness already flew in the face of cerebral wisecrackers like Woody Allen. Yet his vibe would become the dominant one, no doubt because of The Jerk, which was a monster hit. Born—he tells us—a poor black child, Navin yearns to make his mark, to be listed in the phone book ("Things are going to start happening to me now!"), to meet beautiful ditz Bernadette Peters. But it's the way the movie functions as a cracked version of the American Dream that makes Navin feel more relatable than he ought to be.—Joshua Rothkopf
4. Carl Spackler, Caddyshack (1980)
"It's the snobs versus the slobs," proclaimed the poster for the world's greatest golfing comedy. But only one man mystified both camps: Bill Murray's demented gardener. A lecherous yahoo who hates his boss almost as much as he hates vermin, Carl Spackler gets most of the good lines in this gross-out classic ("On your deathbed, you receive total consciousness…so I got that going for me, which is nice"). He can even make a nonsense phrase like "gunga-galunga" side-splittingly funny. Who knows why Murray chose to make Carl slightly cross-eyed and mumble out of the side of mouth, but it works: Spackler's slightly brain-damaged look only makes his attempts at being a stone-cold gofer killer that much more inept. Watch how he guiltily lopes away after blowing up the course; it's the walk of an idiot as interpreted by a genius.—David Fear
3. Chance, Being There (1979)
Peter Sellers was no stranger to playing buffoons (see our No. 10 pick), but his ultimate dolt is surely the gentle, TV-obsessed gardener (who's a few episodes short of a full series) in Hal Ashby's boisterous and scathing political satire. After his elderly benefactor dies, shut-in Chance is evicted from his home for the first time in his life (a disco remix of 2001's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" suggests that it's a big deal). Then fate puts him in the path of Shirley MacLaine's socialite, Eve Rand, who mistakes the idiot for a savant. Soon, Chance is making a splash on talk shows with his homespun "wisdom" and being talked about as a possible presidential contender. Sellers is scarily committed to his role as a blank-faced media celeb on whom an agitated populace projects its hopes and dreams. An ignoramus's brain farts taken as holy writ? Only in the U.S. of A.—Keith Uhlich
2. Otto West, A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
"Don't call me stupid," says this stupidest of men, repeatedly, in a movie that aches to contain his sheer wrongheadedness. Ex-CIA (though not out of the habit of inflicting pain), Otto is an Anglophobe surrounded by Brits driving on the wrong side of the road, an uncomprehending student of philosophy ("Aristotle was not Belgian!" his sister shrieks) and a truly inept criminal. Kevin Kline, tapping the fury and speed of his theater background, creates a confidently clueless character: the essence of half-smart. Monty Python fans queued up for a nostalgic taste of their favorite clowns, but left theaters knocked out by the witless American who outpaced them all. For his undeniably brilliant performance, Kline beat out heavy-hitters like Alec Guinness and Martin Landau to win an Oscar—less a credit to the Academy getting it right than to an actor pushing comedy into a respected realm it rarely enjoys.—Joshua Rothkopf
1. Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, The Big Lebowski (1998)
The Coen brothers have long had a weakness for dimwits, dupes and dopes with delusions of grandeur (five of their characters show up on this list). But no other Coen creation has so memorably exemplified the filmmakers' view of what fools these mortals be than Jeff Bridges's SoCal stoner, an amiable '60s casualty concerned only with bowling and burning one in his bathrobe. Fate has other plans in store for the Dude when he's thrust into a shady world of kidnappers, extortionists, Malibu porn moguls and German nihilists—all of whom become increasingly exasperated by Lebowski's incomprehension and nonsensical blathering. Though the Coens conceived him as a smart-ass riposte to Bogart's savvy sleuths, their perplexed white knight ends up as an emblem of West Coast flakiness—the kind of Angeleno for whom ambitions or smarts are less important than a peaceful, easy feeling (even though he hates the Eagles). Lebowski may barely understand what's going on in this parody of noir L.A., but frankly, he's happier to breeze through life without getting bummed out by the modern world. And if you're not cool with that, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.—David Fear
Maybe you're busy preparing your April Fool's Day pranks—be careful with any machines or moving parts. Beforehand, we suggest you study up on the masters of sheer stupidity: Time Out New York's authoritative ranking of big-screen dopes.

Kikuchiyo (Toshirô Mifune) in Seven Samurai?
This is actually a fairly comprehensive list. I just really wished for one addition (and I don't think I saw it listed). James Franco's character in Pineapple Express. To me, that was one of the funniest performances in years of an 'idiot'.
Concerning your comment about Bush, the same can be said of the current occupant of the White House. He is all arrogance, and little substance.
How on earth is Napoleon Dynamite not in there??? Or his brother or Uncle? Each one a complete fool.
Harpo Marx should so be up there in the top 10....Any of the marx bros...maybe not Zeppo
Harry and Marv from Home Alone?
The list is mostly recent films and neglects older ones. A bad omission is Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson in the Basil Rathbone series of Sherlock Holmes films in the 1940s.
What about The Fool from La Strada???
I think John Astin as Evil Roy Slade is definitely Top 10 material. A natural as playing the daft leader of a pack of outlaws. More classic lines and great characters than most comedies put together.
You have completely misunderstood The Big Lebowski if you think The Dude is a fool. I have a magnificent proof for this theorem, but this margin is too narrow to contain it.
Some classics in there. What about Admiral Tug Benson from Hot Shots!/Hot Shots! Part Deux?!
No Rowan Atkinson? Whose slip-up is that?
What about the Monty Python cast in Holy Grail? Or another popular Brit, Mr. Bean?
The man who knew too little?
Really funny list, I love the Big Lebowski. I can't believe that Forest Gump didn't rank higher.

Tiananmen mothers say government hints at payment, no apology
BEIJING (Reuters) - Mothers of people killed during pro-democracy protests near Beijing's Tiananmen Square more than two decades ago said on Tuesday authorities had raised the issue of compensation but offered no apologies or public account of the crackdown.
A group of 127 mothers signed a letter, drafted ahead of Saturday's 22nd anniversary of the military sweep of protesters in China's capital, saying public security officials had approached one unidentified victim's family twice since February about payment.
"The visitors did not speak of making the truth public, carrying out judicial investigations, or providing an explanation for the case of each victim. Instead, they only raised the question of how much to pay," the mothers said in the letter.
On June 4, 1989, after weeks of protests in Tiananmen Square, troops backed by tanks crushed the demonstrations, prompting global condemnation.
The government has never released an official casualty count, but estimates from human rights groups and witnesses range from several hundred to several thousand dead.
Yang Dongquan, head of China's State Archives Administration, told reporters on Tuesday that the government had put a 30-year lock on documents from the period.
"We're still in a waiting period," he said, on a rare official trip for foreign media to his department, down an unassuming back ally in central Beijing.
"We've not yet reached the time to open them up," Yang added. "The rules state 30 years, at least. It can still be delayed even after 30 years, if the archive authorities decide it. It's the same rule for every country."
After the crackdown, the government called the movement a "counter revolutionary" plot, but has more recently referred to it as a "political disturbance." Continued...

LECTR1, A TOMATO CTR1-LIKE GENE, DEMONSTRATES ETHYLENE SIGNALING ABILITY IN ARABIDOPSIS AND NOVEL EXPRESSION PATTERNS IN TOMATO. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY. 2002. V. 13. P. 1132-1142. Interpretive Summary: The plant hormone ethylene is involved in a variety of developmental and physiological processes in plants, including senescence and fruit ripening. It also plays an important role in physiological responses to environmental stresses such as water deficit, mechanical wounding and pathogen attack. The unraveling of the molecular basis of the ethylene perception and signal transduction pathway has been enhanced by the use of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants altered in the seedling triple response. The triple-response is exhibited by seedlings treated with ethylene and results in: (i) inhibition of root elongation, (ii) shortening and radial swelling of the hypocotyl and, (iii) exaggerated curvature of the apical hook. Numerous loci have been identified and many corresponding genes cloned, representing various steps in ethylene signaling from receptors through transcription factors. LeCTR1 was initially isolated by both DDRT-PCR screening for tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruit ethylene-inducible genes and through homology with the Arabidopsis thaliana CTR1 cDNA. Here we show LeCTR1 encodes a functional ethylene signal transduction component induced during fruit ripening.
Technical Abstract: LeCTR1 shares strong nucleotide sequence homology with Arabidopsis CTR1, a gene acting downstream of the ethylene receptor and showing similarity to the Raf family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The length of the LeCTR1 transcribed region from ATG to stop codon (12000 bp) is more than twice that of Arabidopsis CTR1 (4700 bp). Structural analysis reveals perfect conservation of both the number and position of introns and exons in LeCTR1 and Arabidopsis CTR1. The introns in LeCTR1 are much longer, however. To address whether this structural conservation is indicative of functional conservation of the corresponding proteins, we expressed LeCTR1 in the Arabidopsis constitutive ethylene response 1 (ctr1-1) mutant under the direction of the 35S promoter. Our data clearly show that ectopic expression of LeCTR1 in the Arabidopsis ctr1-1 mutant can restore normal ethylene signaling. The recovery of normal ethylene sensitivity upon heterologous expression of LeCTR1 was also confirmed by restored glucose sensitivity absent in the Arabidopsis ctr1-1 mutant. Expression studies confirm ethylene responsiveness of LeCTR1 in various tissues including ripening fruit and may suggest the evolution of alternate regulatory mechanisms in tomato versus Arabidopsis.

Yes, things are getting worse even out here in the corn... and I have increased my vigilance as a result... But even the criminals here are "laid back"... they talk first... they "axe" you for your money/wallet/phone... they don't club you from behind and run off with it... They think that all the folks here are sheep... and will give 'em what they want out of fear. They'd be wrong.
But I ain't so confident as to carry condition 3, ever...
And, if I lived in Chicago (no, I couldn't even have a handgun in Chicago, I know... So let's say it was a more lenient suburb), I'd have to carry condition 4... NO WAY JOSE!
It could be worse!
I suppose
oakchas, this part of your post worries me,While what you say may all be true. Are you not falling into what the OP was and is all about. From the article in the first post, "The problem comes in when we make assumptions about My Gunfight. Assumptions are awesome when they're actually right, but they sure can hurt when you're wrong."If they come upon me, in my area... I am better than them... I am smarter. And they are not prepared for resistance. And, depending entirely on the situation, they may think they're getting cow-towed submission... They underestimate.
Your assumption before the fight ever start or appears is firmly in your mind. What if those assumptions turn out not to be true? You have placed yourself behind the 8 ball even more. While I have never been in a real life gunfight, in my FOF scenarios I try to go into them knowing there is going to be trouble but with an open mind. No pre-set thoughts as to how its going to happen or what will happen once it starts. My assumption to a fight is that once I feel threatened and the line I've set already in my mind has been reached I will destroy the BG. The hows and what fores just happen, this is where training comes into play.
This line comes from Roger Phillips but I think it covers the subject well---"SITUATIONS DICTATE STRATEGIES, STRATEGIES DICTATE TACTICS, AND TACTICS DICTATE TECHNIQUES." Train, then make it you and if needed it will be there to happen and appear.
It's gotta be who you are, not a hobby. reinman45
"Is this persons bad behavior worth me having to kill them over?" Guantes
Then the fallacy of C3 carry would become immediately apparent. Especially if there is a Force-on-Force training block.
But reality is there is no way to maximize mediocrity.
BTW, anyone who hasn't needs to try 'their gunfight' in an FOF setting and see how it really turns out. Or at the least, read this currently running thread:
Is there a good reason for FOF training?
Everything we practice should be occassionally tested in the FOF arena. Until we test it, it's just theory.
Some people are so resistant to FOF they become angry, I've never understood that. Why would they not want to know their strength's and weaknesses?
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,

Are there any new pieces available for the areas of the trunk floor around the gas tank. I pulled the tank out of my '68 today and found that the area across the front of the tank is no longer watertight. It is not real bad but is rusted through in a couple of spots.
If there are not any new pieces available, I do have a shell of a '68 that is not repairable that I could probably cut the pieces from, although they would require some work.

The eight-day-old female cub was born to proud parents Masha and Wambo, bringing the zoo's number up to eleven.
The zoo debuted the tiny cub and allowed press to film her, playing in her pen and purring as zookeepers looked on.
Sadly, white lions are extinct in the wild and are now found only in zoos and reservations. It is estimated that there are only around 500 living in captivity across the world.
The zoo have yet to name the adorable lion cub, but she's bound to prove a hit with visitors over the coming months.

A traditional Vizio quest used to involve spending many days in the wilderness fasting. One remained alone there until receiving a vision informing the recipient which model of Vizio TV to buy. That's still an option, but the easier way is just to compare relevant features and prices.
Vizio official site
Anybody know about the quality of the 22in 1080p in use as a monitor?
bjfaber wrote:Anybody know about the quality of the 22in 1080p in use as a monitor?
Specs-wise it should work pretty well. I don't know how you will mount it, but be aware that it will sit pretty low on the desk and there is no "stand" to speak of. That speakerbar thing is the full width of the TV, so you won't be able to slide anything under the screen. (like if your keyboard would need to be scooted back when not in use for space saving purposes) Basically, you can't adjust it like a typical monitor, so keep that in mind if it's a concern.
I believe that's the same Vizio model I picked up from Woot to use as a mixed TV/monitor.
It came with a 3 month warranty, and something failed after about 2.5 months, so I spent $30 or so sending it in to be fixed and it has been fine since then (which has been another 6 or 7 months). (mine was through the purrfect refurbs thing though, this sale is Vizio factory refurbs. That's probably better)
It works fine as a monitor. I have it hooked up with a DVI-to-HDMI cable instead of the RGP cable on my primary computer. My resolution is set at 1920x1080. I also have a 2nd computer hooked up with the RGP for the odd occasions when I want to use that one.
Prior to when I got a bigger TV and started using this primarily as a monitor, I was using it as a television and for minor console gaming with the computers also occasionally hooked up when I wanted an extra screen.
As the other person mentioned, it does sit very low if you're going to have it on a desk. I actually just grabbed a thick reference book and stuck it underneath to make the height more comfortable. If you use a monitor riser or you mount yours on the wall, obviously that's really not a problem.
I have a Vizio Razor 22" TV in my office. I don't mind using it as a SECOND PC display, but it is not good enough to replace my DELL 2405FPW monitor. That monitor is from 2005, the TV from 2011.
It does not have the color range, nor the brightness, nor the clarity and it ghosts. Plus that little bit of difference between x1200 and x1080 makes a huge difference in what you can fit on the screen.
Even when I play my 360 in my office, I connect it via VGA to my 2405 instead of my Vizio Razor.
It was bought as a TV and it'll stay as a TV.
