You want a clear picture of just how in the tank America's media are for Barack Obama?
On Sunday, Chris Matthews revealed that eleven out of twelve regulars on the syndicated program bearing his name say Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney won't take control and drive the political debate in the next six months leading to Election Day (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: We put it to the Matthews Meter, our regulars including Katty, Kelly and Joe. In these next six months, will Mitt Romney take control and drive this political debate as we've been talking about? Well, ironically, eleven say, "No" – he will not grab control of this debate. And three of you guys are involved in this. Kelly, you first. If Romney has the issue – jobs, a businessman - why can't he grab the wheel and say, "I'm going to talk about my expertise and Obama's going have to listen?"
That's a pretty absurd question coming from a member of the media that controls the political debate far more than the candidates do. If these folks want Obama's hands on the steering wheel, they'll just give him better coverage and trash his opponent like they did in 2008.
Not surprisingly, NBC's Kelly O'Donnell didn't see it that way:
KELLY O'DONNELL, NBC NEWS CAPITOL HILL CORRESPONDENT: He'll be talking about it, but I think when you have an incumbent president, that person has so much control over the news cycle and all of the trappings of the presidency he can use effectively to be the bigger voice in the room. That's my take.
Especially if everyone in the media allows Obama to say whatever he wants with not just total impunity but also fawning praise.
Yet there was a surprise in this segment because Time magazine's Joe Klein pointed out how stupid this question was:
MATTHEWS: Who runs the show?
JOE KLEIN, TIME MAGAZINE: Both do. I mean, that's the problem with this question is that we're going to have…
MATTHEWS: Well, I like tough questions.
KLEIN: It's not a tough question. I mean, you just didn't give us the third option.
MATTHEWS: What is this third option?
KLEIN: The third option is that sometimes Obama will, sometimes Reagan, Romney - did I almost say Reagan? - Romney will.
Not if Matthews, O'Donnell, and all the other Obama-lovers in the media have their way.
For the record, assuming Klein was the one dissenter as it appeared, those that said Romney won't control the debate are:
- David Brooks, New York Times
- Gloria Borger, CNN
- Helene Cooper, New York Times (not pictured)
- Andrea Mitchell, NBC News
- Kelly O'Donnell, NBC News
- Howard Fineman, Huffington Post
- Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal (not pictured)
- Clarence Page, Chicago Tribune
- Andrew Sullivan, The Atlantic
- Katty Kay, BBC
- John Heilemann, New York magazine
Isn't that special?

National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) Questions and Answers Outcome of applications for incentives through NRAS Round 5
National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) Questions and Answers Outcome of applications for incentives through NRAS Round 5
Please refer to the following Question and Answers (Q&As) on the Round 5 decision before calling the Helpline. Most general queries on the decision will be answered by this Q&A.
All other website content is currently being reviewed in line with the Round 5 decision.
General Information
What was the outcome of Round 5 applications?
The Government announced in the Budget on 13 May 2014 that it is not proceeding with Round 5 of NRAS. This means that no incentives will be allocated for Round 5.
Will there be any future rounds?
There are no funds for future rounds at this time. Any decision regarding future funding rounds is a decision for Government.
What will happen to the money that was set aside for Round 5?
The money that was set aside for Round 5 will be returned to the Budget and contribute to Australia's savings.
Does this mean that affordable housing is not a priority for Government?
The Government remains committed to addressing the undersupply of affordable housing. NRAS will continue to contribute over $1 billion to housing supply and affordability over the next 4 years until 30 June 2018.
The Government continues to invest $1.3 billion each year through the National Affordable Housing Agreement. We expect to spend around $4.3 billion in Commonwealth Rent Assistance in 2014-15. It has also recently committed $115 million, to be matched by the states and territories, to renew the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness, which will enable critical homelessness initiatives to continue.
Why couldn't the scheme be fixed and incentives offered?
The scheme has been slow in delivering affordable homes and has failed to achieve its delivery targets despite ongoing Government funding. The Government remains committed to improving the administration of the scheme for incentives already allocated.
Approved Participants
How does this impact the incentives I already have as an Approved Participant?
Incentives already allocated through the scheme will continue to be paid for up to ten years as long as eligibility requirements are met and homes in the construction pipeline are built according to agreed timeframes and in agreed locations.
The Government will be improving the administration of the scheme by imposing tighter conditions on the delivery of dwellings within agreed timeframes. Participants will be notified of any changes to delivery conditions.
What does this mean for me as a current investor in the scheme?
If you are an investor in dwellings that are currently rented as part of the scheme, this decision will not impact your existing investment in the scheme. For dwellings not yet delivered, you should discuss the progress of the project with your Approved Participant.
In the past, many dwellings have been delivered long after the agreed date and the Department will be withdrawing incentives where insufficient progress has been made. The Australian Government cannot become involved in private commercial arrangements between Approved Participants and Investors.
What does this mean for me as a potential investor in the scheme?
Investors can continue to invest in the scheme as there are still a number of dwellings to be delivered through the scheme (around 18,000 dwellings are currently in the construction pipeline).
For more information please read through the information for private investors.
What does this mean for me as a current NRAS tenant?
Current NRAS tenants and existing tenancy agreements will not be impacted by the decision not to offer any incentives under Round 5. Homes currently rented through the scheme will continue to be paid NRAS incentives, subject to the requirements of the scheme continuing to be met.
What does this mean for me as a potential tenant?
You will still be able to register your interest in becoming an NRAS tenant. Homes are still available for rent through the scheme, with many more homes to be delivered. If you are interested in tenanting a NRAS home, please contact a NRAS tenancy manager directly to register your interest. See list of current tenancy managers.
Round 5 applicants
The Round closed in August last year, why has it taken so long to get an answer about Round 5?
The Round was advertised by the former Government. The future of the scheme was carefully considered in the context of other Budget priorities by the new Government.
What will happen to my application?
The assessment process was not finished and no further work will be undertaken.
Applicants were advised that submitting an application for Round 5 did not guarantee they would receive any incentives. The Round 5 application guidelines indicated that the department could terminate any part of the assessment process, including not making any offers.

MSC Software Corporation, the leader in multidiscipline simulation solutions that accelerate product innovation, today announced that Sigmadyne, a finite element analysis consulting and software development company, has released extended capabilities for the analysis of optical systems using MSC Nastran as their primary simulation software.
Sigmadyne's latest release of SigFit™, an optical pre & post processor for MSC Nastran, allows optical response quantities to be written in MSC Nastran input format. This allows MSC Nastran's optimization capability to utilize optical behavior in the structural optimization of optical systems.
Optical performance is degraded by the distortion of reflective and refractive surfaces, and the characterization of such deformations is essential to performing optical performance evaluation. The best-fit polynomial characterizations of the predicted distortions of such optical surfaces can be generated by SigFit in the form of MSC Nastran multipoint constraint (MPC) equations. This feature allows engineers to characterize deformed optical surfaces within MSC Nastran using polynomial types commonly used in optical design. These equations now include enhancements to expand their usability to a wider array of applications involving significant lateral surface growth making them accurate for thermo-elastic load conditions.
Many modern telescopes include deformable mirrors to correct for unwanted optical surface figure errors induced by thermal or structural loading. A common design problem is to determine the optimum number and locations of the actuators required to correct these figure errors. MSC Nastran can be used to determine predictions of the disturbed optical surfaces and the influence functions for a large set of candidate actuator locations.
SigFit also provides many other options to use MSC Nastran in the analysis of optical systems. SigFit takes MSC Nastran analysis results and writes their effect in native formats for direct input to a variety of optical design programs. Examples include the temperature and stress changes in the index of refraction, including stress birefringence. The combination of MSC Nastran and SigFit provide a useful combination for the design of precision optical systems.
Dr. Victor Genberg, PE, President of Sigmadyne, stressed the key capabilities of MSC Nastran as instrumental in his business, "MSC Nastran is a great tool for multidisciplinary analysis because the analysis inputs and outputs are easily accessed. Execution of SigFit requires model geometry, displacements, temperatures and stresses for employment of its full array of optomechanical analysis types, and the simplicity in accessing this data from MSC Nastran streamlines the process of combining it with the power of SigFit."

Schwartzman On For Pictures Of Fidelman
He's adapting a book with Jonathan Ames
Joy was unconfined among fans of cancelled HBO neo-noir sitcom Bored To Death last week when it was revealed that creator Jonathan Ames and star Jason Schwartzman had landed the chance to make a film based on the show. It would seem that that's not the only project the pair are cooking up as they're also working to adapt Bernard Malamud's short story collection Pictures Of Fidelman.
Malamud's stories follow Arthur Fidelman, a hapless art student who heads to Rome sometime in the middle of the 20th century. While there are several tales in the book, the filmmakers are looking at Still Life and Naked Nude in particular, but according to the Hollywood Reporter other entries may end up feeding into the script.
It's early days for the project, which doesn't yet have any financial backing, but Schwartzman wants to star and Ames wants to produce the film in Rome.
Any movie also have to wait for Schwartzman to finish work on Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, but Ames is keeping himself busy while his friend plays with his other pals: he's adapting several books, including Donald Westlake's 361, and his own novel Wake Up, Sir! which hit shelves in 2005.
Ames has also clarified that the Bored To Death film, which he's figuring out on top of everything else, won't be for cinematic release, but instead shown on the series' old stomping ground of HBO. "HBO has always been very good to me," he tells the Hollywood Reporter, "and I had a meeting with them and said: 'I think this would be a fun thing to try. I had so many ideas for season four, so many interesting images, can I have a shot at maybe making a movie or writing a movie?' And they've always been good to me, and they said yes."

This toy is very well made, and is a constant source of fun in a Facebook group Molly Beth and I are a part of. Crazy Yorky Ladies (and yes, it is spelled Yorky) The Yorkies iBone each other. When Molly Beth got her iBone I signed her up for unlimited chew texts, unlimited yap minutes and 2 gigs monthly bark data on the CYL network. The only negative I would have relevant to this toy is that they should make a smaller one for small dogs. It is difficult for Molly Beth to carry in her mouth and they should also make it in pink.
Thank you so much for making our little furbaby's first birthday so special. She loves the pretty toys.
Very cute but more to lounge on than play with for a 2-1/2 lb. Mi-Ki. However, when energized, she is fully capable of fetching it back to me.

A psychoeducational evaluation consists of a variety of individually administered assessment tools used to identify specific learning disabilities, attention deficit (ADHD), intellectual giftedness and learning strengths and weaknesses. A psychoeducational evaluation includes standardized tests of intelligence, academic achievement, and information processing skills. Parent and teacher observations of social and and emotional functioning are included in the process as well as interviews with the parents and with the student.
The psychoeducational evaluation identifies the student's learning style, learning strengths and areas in need of improvement. Evaluation is designed to identify and diagnose learning difficulties related to:
- Attention deficit disorder
- Dyslexia and other reading disabilities
- Learning disabilities in reading, math and written language
- Language processing
- Visual/perceptual and visual-motor skills
- Memory
At the evaluation's completion, should a learning weakness be identified, the assessment provides information which can be used in developing an individualized plan at the student's school . The evaluation results may be utilized to assist students, families and teachers to better understand the student's learning strengths and challenges, and to assist in the planning of strategies targeted at improving both personal and academic success at home and in the classroom.
Evaluation results are subject to the highest level of confidentiality. A release of information by the student's parents is obtained before information is discussed with any other party.
The process begins with a telephone interview designed to determine whether or not an evaluation is appropriate to answer your questions and address your needs. If you choose to proceed with an evaluation, Steve Chandler, school psychologist, will work with you to establish a timeline of sessions that fits your schedule. The entire evaluation process spans approximately two weeks and involves approximately six hours of personal contact with Mr. Chandler.
A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation typically includes:
Specific Psychoeducational Evaluation Services for High School and College-Bound students
The feedback session is scheduled within 1 and 1/2 to 2 weeks after testing is completed. Most evaluations take place in our offices; however, in some instances assessments may be scheduled at the student's school.
- One or two testing sessions with a school psychologist.
- Parent and student interview.
- Parent and teacher observations and rating scales.
- A feedback session to review evaluation results and determine recommendations to enhance academic functioning.
- A school visit to review test results with school personnel (available upon request; additional charges may apply).
Many students who have been eligible for an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or have had a history of learning difficulties in elementary, middle or high school, may be eligible for appropriate program modifications and accomodations, such as extended time (or others), on college entrance examinations, such as the ACT and SAT. These students will require a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation to be conducted within three years of application to take the college entrance exams. This procedure also applies to other standardized tests such as the Praxis, GRE, the ISEE, etc.
In addition, these students, through application with the Students with Disabilities office at most universities, can be eligible for appropriate program accomodations to assist them in their college curriculum. These modifications also require a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation within three years in order to be eligible for these college services.
School Consultation
School consultation services consist of assisting the school personnel with curriculum planning and implementation of the recommended modifications and accommodations. The goals are to facilitate the student's academic success and thereby enhance self esteem.
Career Planning
Interest and Aptitude inventories may be administered and can be used in addition to personal interviews. The information gathered is utilized to facilitate optimal decision-making relevant to college choices and/or career direction.
Individual and Family Counseling
Individual or family couseling may be helpful to address issues which affect personal growth of the student and his/her academic career and life successes. Common difficulties include Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD), poor organization, low self-esteem, test anxiety and low academic motivation. Counseling can provide the necessary tools to overcome obstacles to life, career and academic progress.

E-Mail Debate: How Many Awards Will Suns Win?
Thanks to the recent American pastime of work e-mail chains, the Suns.com staff is a constant threat to debate something to death while on the job.
There's been a lot to discuss, too, whether it's the stretch run, the latest win, the team's stash of draft picks or a recent development on the court.
The dot com crew's latest hot topic concerned postseason awards, and how many the Suns could possibly win after a feel-good season like this year.
Matt: The NBA boasts 10 regular season awards, ranging from Most Valuable Player to Most Improved to Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year (initiated last season). That's not including All-NBA or All-Defensive teams. It's not ridiculous to think the Suns could snag at least four awards (Coach, Most Improved, Sixth Man, Executive) and a couple of those team spots, right?
Brad: First of all, can we acknowledge the greatest travesty in all of this – the league no longer recognizes a Comeback Player of the Year recipient. Channing Frye would take home that award this season hands down.
Of those you mentioned, Matt, we're definitely in the running for each though. People acknowledge Jeff Hornacek as a Coach of the Year candidate, but many do so without remembering that a number of Suns wins this season came without the services of Eric Bledsoe. Even with a healthy Bledsoe playing through the entire 2013-14 season, the "experts" still didn't have us winning more than 20 games.
We've more than doubled that number and there's no question that has a ton to do with the work of Coach Hornacek.
Greg: The Comeback Player of the Year thing is a true disservice this year. It's time to start a movement to get Commissioner Adam Silver to rectify this injustice. As a matter of fact, it's time to start a petition to get the award back and named after Frye. If Americans can start one for getting Justin Bieber deported back to Canada and get enough signatures to force the President to address it, we certainly can get enough signatures to get the Commish to acknowledge it.
As for the other awards, it seems more than logical that it Coach of the Year goes to Hornacek. No one has done more with a team that the media thought less of than him.
One no one has mentioned yet is Gerald Green as Most Improved. He went from a bit player on the end of the Pacers' bench struggling to keep his career alive to being the igniter for the Suns offense both off the bench and when forced into a starters role. No telling where this team would be without him.
Brad: They would probably be a lot closer to the 17-win total that many had us slated for.
Ben: In my mind, Markieff Morris has the Sixth Man of the Year Award locked up. He's obviously been huge off the bench for the Suns both offensively and defensively. Keef has reached or surpassed his career-high entering the season (23 points) 12 times this season and tallied 10+ points in 31 of his last 33 games off the bench, the most in a stretch that long by a Sun since Leandro Barbosa in 2006-07 (35 of 37).
But more importantly, the play of Keef and his brother Marcus have translated into wins -- the Suns are 19-8 this season when both Marcus and Markieff Morris each score 10+ points in the same game and 13-4 when either scores 20+.
Matt: The truly scary thing about Most Improved is Phoenix has at least five candidates to win it. Check the before (last season) and after (this season) picture from these guys:
Before: 14.7 ppg, 44.3 FG%, 31.9 3FG%
After: 20.3 ppg, 51.0 FG%, 41.9 3FG%
Before: 8.5 ppg, 3.1 apg, 3.0 rpg, 44.5 FG%
After: 17.4 ppg, 5.7 apg, 4.5 rpg, 47.0 FG%
Before: 0.9 ppg, 1.6 rpg, 0.2 bpg, 23.8 FG%
After: 8.4 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 1.3 bpg, 50.5 FG%
Before: 8.2 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 40.7 FG%
After: 13.8 ppg, 5.9rpg, 48.6 FG%
Before: 7.0 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 0.3 spg, 36.6 FG%, 31.4 3FG%
After: 15.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 0.9 spg, 44.0 FG%, 39.0 3FG%
By the way, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE STATS are career-highs except for Green's three-point shooting (exceeded only by a pair of 30-game seasons). Detractors would say it's because they've never had opportunities like this before. Isn't it even more impressive, though, when opportunities are cashed in?
Greg: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's keep the stats out of this. No one told me this was an analytics conference.
Based on the eye test, can the NBA just name the entire Suns organization – minus the digital department, of course – as the Most Improved? That's just how impressive this season has been. Regardless of what happens the rest of the way, this has been a massive success from every angle.
Brad: Can we stop for a second to discuss the guy responsible for bringing guys like Eric Bledsoe, Miles Plumlee and Gerald Green to Phoenix in the first place? All due respect to Luis Scola, but Ryan McDonough not only acquired a first-round pick for the veteran, but also Green and Plumlee. That means the trade still has yet to pay off as well as it ultimately will.
The Suns also came out of nowhere to swoop in on the services of Eric Bledsoe, a player many already had tabbed as a future guard for the Orlando Magic.
Shawn: The unsung hero of this argument/season has to be one Ryan McDonough, who has to be lock as an Executive of the Year finalist. When you look back at the off-season and the way McDonough came in and "cleaned house" all while stockpiling numerous draft picks for the future.
And while he'd be the first to admit he didn't expect the immediate success that this team has had, he has expedited the rebuilding process all while gaining assets to set this team up for even further success down the road.
Matt: The best part about the Indy trade? McDonough grew up in Boston, raised by a Boston sportswriter. I mean, it's safe to assume Larry Bird is more than just a name to him, right? AND HE FLEECED BIRD IN THAT TRADE. Stuff like that should matter.
Greg: Has there ever been a guy to school Bird so bad one-on-one ever before in NBA history? I think not. Forget Bird Vs. Magic, it's now Bird Vs. McD… OK, so maybe that went slightly overboard. But McDonough definitely could reenact the scene from Good Will Hunting and ask Bird how he likes them apples (typed in a Boston accent).
Shawn: Or a perhaps the league should create an "Most Severely Underrated" award?
Matt: I'll backtrack to Ben's point and lump Markieff Morris along with McDonough under the "unsung" label. Barbosa was the runaway winner in '07, so any legit comparison to him is a strong argument to take Sixth Man.
But he's not on the highlight reels like Green. He's not in the headlines as much as Dragic or Bledsoe. And he didn't come from nowhere quite like Plumlee. Hornacek, however, has been able to count on him unwaveringly, especially over the last two months.
Ben: Markieff has definitely expanded his game more in the past year than the other candidates. Green and Plumlee were similar players this year to last year, but are just receiving more opportunities this year.Markieff looks like a totally different player out there than he did in the past. The three players, however, have all been better this year in large part because of Hornacek. He's showing the ability not only to give players opportunity, but to help develop their games.
Greg: I feel like if Markieff wins 6th Man of the Year we need a 7th Man of the Year award for Marcus. Not only do they like to do everything together and we don't want to ruin that chemistry, but he also has had a major impact on the team and his brother.
Markieff has been a beast scoring in double-digits off the bench in 20 of the last 21 games but at least part of that is due to the connection the two have on the court.
Shawn: And since we're backtracking I'll throw my hat into the Most Improved debate. As much as I love Gerald Green's resurgence from NBA journey-man to the scary scoring threat he has become, I still have to give the nod to Goran Dragic.
Keep in mind this was a guy who came into the season in the shadow of the Eric Bledsoe signing. While we all knew the type of talent Goran possessed, no one saw this kind of season coming from the Dragon. His career season has raised his into the star ranks of the NBA.
Greg: Great call on Goran, Shawn. Just remember, this is a guy John Hollinger once called "the worst player in the league." Now he's a second tier MVP candidate. I'd say that is a bit improved.
Brad: Hollinger said that?! Can somebody provide evidence of this please?
Matt: Which begs the question: hasn't Dragic pushed his way onto an All-NBA team? Even considering his competition (Chris Paul, Stephen Curry, James Harden, Damian Lillard), Third-Team is the least he can expect at this point, right?
Greg: Since this is going long, I think we need a musical interlude courtesy of Eddie Johnson rapping. Best part, he tweeted it out so I didn't even have to search for it to make fun of him.
Ben: That video of EJ is terrifyingly amazing.
The bottom line is this: the 2013-14 Suns are amazing whether or not they make the postseason and regardless of any awards they win or don't win. There's just something about them that draws fans in. Maybe it's the underdog in all of us that can't help rooting for the Suns after so many people completely wrote them off before the season even started.
Whatever "it" is, the Suns have it.

With a population of about 500,000, Oslo, Norway, is one of the smaller capitals in the world, but still offers a beautiful setting with much to see and do, ensuring that not one visitor will ever be disappointed.
Founded more than 1,000 years ago, the city is relatively compact and easily accessible, with its beauty actually three-fold: The scenic approach from the sea; the center-city docking location; and the charm of its parks, waterfront, tree-lined boulevards and urban architecture.
But it wasn't always so. Oslo lost much of its luster during World War II, when some 760 Jews were eventually deported to Germany. Most were lost, while 925 were saved as they fled to Sweden and other countries. Of those, 559 came back, and found, miraculously, that their synagogue was unharmed. Even the Torah Scrolls had survived, and the Jewish community was re-established.
Today, there are some 1,500 Jews in Norway, enjoying all kinds of Jewish activities organized mainly by the communities in Oslo.
Fittingly, Oslo has established itself as a city of peace with the building of the Nobel Peace Center. Opened in June 2005 — and housed in the historic railway station close to Oslo's harbor and city hall — the center's mission is to create peace and to reflect humanity's best efforts to achieve it. It is a must-see for any visitor to this beautiful city.
For the intense sightseer, an Oslo "Pass" provides great convenience because it includes one-, two- or three-day use of all city transit and entry to the most popular attractions.
After a visit to the Nobel Peace Center, the Akershus Castle, looming above the docks, is probably a good place to go. Now a museum, it is filled with fabulous history, as well as documents detailing military stories from the Vikings through World War II.
Close to the castle is the city's principle shopping district. Restaurants, cafes and some of the smarter hotels line the wide boulevards and adjacent streets. The flower market on the main square is worth the trip. And although prices in Scandinavia are generally high, so, too, is the quality of Norwegian knitwear and arts-and-crafts.
For something different, be sure to take a walk through Vigeland Park to view the world's largest collection of sculptures executed by one single artist — Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943). The park contains 192 sculptures with more than 600 figures, all modeled in full size. Vigeland also designed the architectural setting and the layout of the grounds.
"The Monolith," some 46 feet high, is carved out of a single block of stone, consisting of 121 figures. Surrounding it are 36 groups in granite depicting the cycle of life. Wrought-iron gates surround the Monolith Plateau and the park.
Next, visit the Viking Ship Museum, where spectacular exhibits will draw you back into a glorious chapter in Norwegian history. Centuries-old wooden vessels, which were discovered by archaeologists, have been carefully restored.
Then, take off to the museum that houses the Kon Tiki, Thor Heyerdahl's balsa raft, which became famous for its historic 101-day crossing of 4,970 miles from Peru to Raroia in Polynesia.
No trip to Oslo would be complete without a visit to the open-air Norsk Folke Museum, spread over 3,500 acres with more than 140 rustic buildings. It depicts how people from every walk of life lived in this beautiful country from the 16th-century Reformation to the present day.
And no one should ever leave Oslo without trying to catch a glimpse of one of Norway's most famous inhabitants — the trolls. Learn as much as you can about the trolls — Norway's national symbol — and Norwegian mythology, which is full of them.
The legend of trolls was born in Norway's dark forests and mountainsides. The creatures are said to emerge from their hiding places only after sunset, and to have the ability to transform themselves at will and, when provoked, are notoriously quick to anger.
So stay on their good side — and before you leave this beautiful city, be sure to check your luggage carefully for trolls who would prefer traveling along with you to your next destination!

In its purest form, this Concours Gold GTX is an unabashedly ruthless street fighter. Free from all the nonsense add-ons that have increasingly clouded our driving experience for the better part of five decades, the car was tailor-made to be some of the most uninhibited muscle on American roads. And in addition to highly desirable aesthetics that are the direct result of a detailed rotisserie restoration, it features correct Super Commando power that's backed by a correct A833 4-speed. If you're in the market for a proven classic that's poised to rise in value, here's your next prospect!
The beneficiary of a detailed, rotisserie restoration that was documented here this fully sorted Plymouth mixes killer street presence with classic MoPar attitude. That reboot began when the car was completely disassembled, professionally dipped and thoroughly pressure washed. Unfortunately, that process revealed a weathered fuselage that needed quite a bit of hardcore metalwork. The good: the car's trunk was pretty solid, its floorpan had isolated rust and the fenders needed only a few patches. The bad: the car's rockers needed quite a bit of work, a rust-eliminating crusade that, unfortunately, had to be extended to its doors. And the ugly: the car's quarters had to be completely replaced and, interestingly, it also required an entirely new trunk lid. With all that metal united on a rotisserie, a solid coat of epoxy followed a thorough coat of etching primer, both of which were massaged and block-sanded into a collection of virtually flawless surfaces. Once those surfaces were completely prepped and fully sealed, Island Lake, Illinois' Nostalgic Auto Body reanimated their all-business demeanor in smooth 2-stage that reflects correct Scorch Red pigment. And in 2009, this lust worthy classic scored 95 out of 100 points on its way to winning Concours Gold honors at the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals!
Every bit of this B-Body's bright ornamentation appears straight and presents well. And while it's hard to determine whether all those baubles and bolt-ons are original, they certainly look nice! At the front of the car's broad shouldered body, a red-trimmed grille hangs a prominent "GTX" emblem between clean headlights, simple parking lamps and a heavy chrome bumper. At the top of that grille, a correct Air Grabber Hood anchors vertical "440" scripts between straight stainless, like-new glass and a subtle "PLYMOUTH" header script. At the sides of that hood, a stainless-trimmed profile centers factory door handles and a correct driver's mirror amid standard marker lamps, black rockers and large "GTX" emblems. And at the back of the car, a second polished bumper, complete with small reverse lamps, frames bright taillights, polished exhaust tips, correct GTX trunk trim and a second "PLYMOUTH" script.
Fully detailed, covered in MoPaint high-temp orange and wearing mere weekend miles since its professional rebuild, this slick Plymouth's 440 cubic inch, date-correct Super Commando is spectacular in every measurable way! At the top of the block, a big Carter carburetor sips fuel through fresh stainless fluid lines while sucking oxygen through an Organisol-coated air cleaner. At the base of that carb, a vintage intake hosts a correct points distributor, which sequences fire through Chrysler Electronic Suppression cables. At the sides of that intake, ported and polished heads hang port-matched intake and exhaust runners under stamped and painted valve covers. Those hopped-up heads cap a .030 overbored block that marries a 440 Source stroker kit with a reasonably radical cam. That balanced kit founds a .5-inch stroker crank under H-beam rods and 10.75 to 1 pistons. Those pistons push charred dinosaurs through restored exhaust manifolds, which wear an enduring layer of POR-15 hi-temp coating. Cooling for the big engine is provided by an old school Chrysler radiator. Mechanically, not a detail was missed, as items like Federal-Mogul bearings, Total Seal rings and quality ARP fasteners ensure years of strong motoring. And, like the motor itself, the car's fully decaled engine bay is clean and highly detailed, from its rebuilt wiper motor and MoPar red cap battery to its polished breather, correct clamps and familiar Chrysler washer tank.
This GTX definitely has the performance to back up its good looks. Behind the big-bore engine, a correct A833 4-speed utilizes a tough RAM clutch to twist a correct Dana 60 axle. Naturally, the car's front torsion bar and rear leaf suspension has been completely restored to include correct manual steering. 2.5-inch, aluminized exhaust pipes spent gases through an H-shaped crossover, requisite turbo mufflers and traditional stainless tips. At the corners of the chassis, factory drums spin behind chrome Magnum 500s, two 245/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As and two 275/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As. The car's over-restored floors present almost as nice as its first class façade. And everything, from this Plymouth's clean stainless fuel tank to its fresh stainless chassis bolts, presents almost as well as when it rolled out of restoration.
Swivel this Plymouth's level doors and you'll find a correct Pewter and Black interior that's functional, straightforward and very livable. Correct bench and bucket seats are wrapped in pliable vinyl covers that display hardly any signs of wear. Between those seats, a correct, wood-trimmed console, complete with a side-stepped Hurst shifter, surfs fade-free carpet that's protected by monochromatic floor mats. At the sides of that carpet, Pewter door panels look sublime behind factory-spec trim and correct Silver Metallic frames. In front of those panels, a modernist dash seats sweeping telemetry and a familiar Chrysler Solid State above a modern Auto Meter oil pressure gauge. In front of the driver, a wood-rimmed steering wheel laps a large Auto Meter tach that's complete with a shift light. And behind the passengers, a nicely finished trunk hides a correct jack and spare tire between a plaid mat and new decklid decal.

The youngest of 4 brothers, Ian's oldest brother was his main influence, teaching him to DJ as young as 8 years old. Seeing his brother perform motivated him to aspire to become a working DJ as his brother had always done. It was upon reaching opportunities to be thrown in at the deep end through his brothers industry contacts that he began to make a name for himself in clubs like; Ministry of sound, Pacha London, SE-ONE, Plan B (Brixton), Inigo, in particular Turnmills where Ian's playing abilities were recognized by high profile promotors leading on to him playing sets in Ibiza and many more high profile London events.Ian Tucker's biography Ian Tucker Musician

A Forum for Public Feedback on Regional Transportation Decisions is Needed
NOACA is Cleveland's regional planning agency, responsible for dispersing millions in federal transportation dollars that shape our region for better or worse. But they engage in almost zero formal public outreach with the NE Ohio public in order to gain feedback. So I wanted to create a place where people could send feedback to this agency. If you have thoughts or suggestions about how NOACA works, post them below. I have quite a few :)

Jerry Sandusky's conviction will not take away the pain felt by his victims, but many took solace in knowing the the former Penn State assistant coach is now in jail following his conviction on 45 counts of child sex abuse.
A lawyer for one of the young men who testified against Sandusky said his client was "elated", and felt "empowered" by the jury's verdict.
Meanwhile, anger greeted Sandusky as he was taken from the courthouse to a waiting police car. "Rot in hell," someone shouted, as Sandusky made the short walk to the car, flanked by officials and shackled in handcuffs.
Feelings ran understandably high given the nature of the crimes and the impact it has had on the college and the local community in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.
Lisa Shirk, a former neighbour of Sandusky who went to school with his children, was among those gathered outside the courthouse. "I can't be any more happier. Justice has been done to this man. He needs the death penalty for what he did to those kids," she said.
Among the victims themselves, emotions ran from relief to acknowledgment that no matter what the verdict was, the damage had already been done.
"Nobody wins. We've all lost," the mother of one child abused by Sandusky said.
For others, it was vindication for speaking out against the crimes inflicted on them as vulnerable children.
Michael Boni, attorney for a man referred throughout the trial as Victim No 1, told CNN: "He is feeling elated. He is elated as is his mother, who was crying. They feel very, very empowered right now by this decision."
Justine Andronici, a lawyer for two other victims of Sandusky, said: "Thank God he is in jail … it was a long time coming."
Victim No 5's lawyer said his client was relieved. "This has been one difficult ordeal," Tom Kline told CBS.
Kline added: "He didn't want to be involved, but he decided, of course, that he was going to tell the truth. He viewed this as an obligation of citizenship, and an obligation of citizenship that is now completed."
Scott Berkowitz, president of the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (Rainn) described the jury's decision as a "landmark day for survivors of sexual violence".
He added: "This verdict shows the country that when allegations of such abuse are brought to light, they will be taken seriously and that a just outcome is possible."
For others it marked the end of a sorry chapter that has ripped apart a community.
Outside the courthouse, Bellefonte resident Grace Gordon welcomed the verdict, but added: "It's hard, it really is, to see a small town torn apart like this."

Via Bill Kristol's and Liz Cheney's outfit Keep America Safe, a few more people for Pelosi to investigate. I'm really, really not looking forward to an ad war over the mosque: This one is about as restrained as you can get, restricting itself to in-their-own-words statements from the victims' families and even featuring an acknowledgment that the property owners have the right to build if they want. But (a) the pro-mosque side can and will respond with the same sort of ad (there are mosque supporters among the victims' families, including Ted Olson) and (b) the natural progression in any ad war is to get nastier and more demagogic as it goes along. If the online "debate" over the mosque is any indication, soon we'll have anti-mosque 527 ads showing Bin Laden doing a victory jig in the pit at Ground Zero and pro-mosque 527 ads showing mosque opponents in Klan hoods and sheets. Don't forget to include Harry Reid and Howard Dean!

First thing:
As you all notice, many users have been adding pages like Recon and Dimension Expedition, which we can know if it's true or false, because they don't have any proofs or it's not confirmed officially by Club Penguin.

So, I hope users that makes these things to have some good proofs or it's officially confirmed by Club Penguin.
Second thing:
I noticed that many arguments tool place in the past months, which are a source of an silly or small thing.

TEL AVIV (May. 8)
Foreign Minister Abba Eban left for the United States today on a visit in behalf of the Israel Bond drive. He will also meet with high U.S. government officials for discussions of "matters of mutual interest" to Israel and the U.S., it was learned today. Eban told reporters at Lod Airport that he would discuss the problem of Arab terrorism among other topics in the framework of Israeli-U.S. relations.
Replying to questions, Eban said he would categorically oppose suggestions to establish committees of the United Nations to deal with the Middle East conflict. The Foreign Minister appeared to be alluding to last year's fruitless UN debate, on international terrorism which ended with the appointment of a committee to study the matter. Reliable sources in Jerusalem told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that Eban would discuss the forthcoming Security Council debate on the Middle East with U.S. Secretary of State William P. Rogers.
According to the sources, Israel does not expect the Council to alter its Resolution 242 but is concerned that a sufficient number of speakers will accept the Arab interpretation of that document in order to build up an authoritative body of interpretation unfavorable to Israel's position. The Arab interpretation, which Israel rejects, is that the resolution calls for total withdrawal of Israeli forces from the administered Arab territories as a prerequisite for peace. Israel maintains that the resolution upholds the primacy of a peace settlement over territorial matters.
It was learned today that contacts have been made with Washington to determine exactly how far the U.S. would permit the Security Council to go before exercising its veto right. Jerusalem hopes that any one-sided condemnation of Israel or a move for sanctions would be promptly killed by an American veto.
Eban is also expected to discuss U.S. arms supplies to Israel. Sources in Jerusalem said they were generally satisfied with the situation following President Nixon's commitment to Premier Golda Meir at their meeting last March in Washington that military supplies would continue to flow. Details are still being worked out by experts on both sides and Eban is expected to relate to these in his Washington talks.
Observers here differ over the effect of the ongoing Watergate scandal on U.S. involvement in the Middle East. Some circles feel that Watergate must necessarily overshadow any other business on the Nixon Administration's agenda. But others believe that the Administration will deliberately concentrate on foreign affairs issues such as Middle East diplomacy in order to focus the public spotlight on issues other than Watergate.

Cis' Easter Egg — Which Book of Bible Are You?
Cis Gors/Kootenai is always coming up with interesting quizzes and sites for Huckleberries Online commenters and blurkers. She has done it again with a TGIF "Easter Egg." In this one, you can find out which book of the Bible most closely resembles you. (For agnostics and atheists who are inclined to make a wise crack about religion here, resist temptation or save it for another time. Most of HBOers should find this fun.) For those keeping score at home, Psalms captures Cis best, while Romans is what I'm all about. Enjoy here.

Gwen Stefani: Photo Shoot Stylish
Stepping out to greet photographers after a photo shoot, Gwen Stefani was spotted leaving a local studio in Los Angeles on Wednesday (March 21).
The No Doubt singer/fashion designer looked rocker chic in a white biker jacket, grey trousers and yellow heels as she made her way out while offering up a friendly wave to paparazzi.
The photo shoot comes just after Miss Stefani spoke openly with British magazine Closer about trying to juggle her hectic lifestyle.
Though the 42-year-old hasn't been as busy in the music business lately, she has been working on a new album with her bandmates, of which she told, "I've never been able to balance being a mom and my singing career - it's a nightmare!"
Gwen, who is a mother to two sons, Kingston, 5, and Zuma, 3, added that - even though she may have a full plate - family always come first, explaining, "I love my boys, so if there's a decision to make, they come first."
Stefani also dished about bringing No Doubt back together after such a long hiatus, saying, "We have already got ten songs and want to do a bit more. Our last album came out 11 years ago, we've changed. That's important to our musical process but at the same time it's a lot of hard work if you want to come together again,"
Enjoy the pictures of Gwen Stefani at a photo shoot in LA (March 21).

"What the president basically said is if you are church that does not believe in this — and the Catholic Church has problems with, the official Catholic Church, amongst other institutions, have problems with paying for contraceptives," the Kansas governor explained. "You have a number of religious groups who saying, 'We don't want to pay for so-called abortifacients, these have morning after pill-type effects. And this is against our religious beliefs.' And the president was saying, 'You got to pay for it.' And they were saying, 'This is against our view life is sacred.'"
"That's not denying women's rights," he insisted. "If a woman then wants birth control, go work somewhere else."

In response to consumer demand for sweet fruit, California growers have increased plantings of new varieties of what are being marketed this season as Summerwhite peaches and nectarines.
Summerwhite peaches and nectarines may be the sweetest items consumers take home from their grocery stores this summer. Though they typically are paler by comparison, Summerwhite peaches and nectarines are often sweeter than their yellow counterparts and provide extraordinary flavor for desserts and other recipes.
Summerwhite peaches and nectarines have been available for more than 30 years; however, it was not until the past few years that American consumers began to embrace their unique flavor.
The reason these summer sensations often taste sweeter than traditional yellow nectarines and peaches all boils down to sugar and acid levels. The overall acid content of Summershite peaches and nectarines tends to be lower than yellow varieties with some having very little acid at all. Because there is little acid to get in the way of sugars, the fruit tastes sweeter.
Yellow peaches and nectarines gradually sweeten as the acid level drops, but Summerwhite fruit tastes just as sweet right after it is harvested as it does when it has softened.
On the inside, Summerwhite peaches and nectarines are light pink or whitish with bright pink radiating from the center or pit, rather than the orangish-yellow color found on traditional varieties. Splashes of florescent pink accent the fair skin of Summerwhite fruit; while typically, red and yellow tones are found on outside of most other peaches and nectarines.
When selecting ripe Summerwhite peaches and nectarines, look for skin with a creamy white background and no hint of green. Like traditional peaches and nectarines, the amount of red or pink will differ with each variety, but has no bearing on the ripeness.
Sumerwhite peaches and nectarines ripen much quicker than yellow varieties. If placed in a paper bag, Summerwhite peaches and nectarines ripen twice as fast - in about a day. Therefore, they should be checked often for softness.
Cooking with Summerwhite fruit can be a bit tricky if a consumer is not familiar with its high sugar levels. When preparing dishes that call for uncooked fruit, Summerwhite peaches and nectarines can be treated in the same manner as yellow, although they provide a uniquely sweet burst of fruit flavor and aroma. They work equally well cut and tossed in a salad or sliced over ice cream. However, if a recipe calls for cooking, be careful, because Summerwhite fruit has a tendency to fall apart when heated. They also become softer during baking, but still can be used to bake pies or cobblers. When a recipe requires poaching, all Summerwhite peaches and nectarines need are moistening in warm liquid. Rather than saut or stew, Summerwhite fruit only requires a gentle toss in the pan over low to medium that to add a zesty sweetness to vegetables, meat or a rich, warm dessert.
Although Summerwhite peaches and nectarines have been available for more than 30 years, renewed interest among consumers and growers will mean increased production in future years. In 1996, the white peach category represented 5.5 percent of the total California peach crop and white nectarine varieties accounted for 2.5 percent of the total crop. Currently, most of the production is sold to overseas markets, particularly the Pacific rim, where consumers favor a sweeter piece of fruit. Still, with more varieties being planted each year in California, Summerwhite peaches and nectarines will become more prevalent in the U.S.

Theo Walcott: 'I got a lot of abuse from the fans that wasn't fair'
Smart black shirt, grey strides, expensive-looking shoes and Zorro-beard neatly trimmed, Theo Walcott looks sharper than a carving knife when he walks into the Arsenal training complex. But, football dressing rooms being what they are, he has taken grief that morning for the crime of dressing up for photographs.
"I'm normally a jeans man, but actually I like looking smart," he says. "There's talk of compulsory suits next season on match days, which I think is great. More grown up."
Ah, growing up. It is a theme that comes up lots in conversation with Walcott, who, you almost have to remind yourself, is 24. He is no longer the kid so impossibly young that he looks like a mascot in Arsenal team photographs.
He speaks…

Habetrot is the Celtic Goddess of spinning and healing. She is able to spin wool into garments in an instant, and the clothes that she makes give the wearer immunity from all disease. In fairy tales, she is depicted with an extended lower lip, which she got from wetting the wool as she spun it.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Let Midtown get as gentrified as it can, certainly not a problem these days, but walking into the Big Top ("No phone, no pool, no pets") will always feel like being transported back to 1976. A toy store once upon a time — supposedly the place that provided the inspiration for Toys "R" Us mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe, no less — the Big Top retains its playtime theme in everything from the circus-themed paintings on the walls, leftover toys behind the bar and the circus-parade grillwork and elephant-trunk door handles out front. It's easily one of the darkest bars in town and, whether you're bellied up to the bar on one of the plush barstools or sunk into one of the booths, one of the most comfortable. The satellite radio is stuck on Sirius's '70s station, and frequent musical guests such as Peter & James (soft-rock piano/guitar request kings), the Light Rock Express (famous for their "Takin' It to the Streets" processional) and the Allison Fisher Band (vintage Gulf Coast R&B) keep the retro vibe intact without ever needing to fall back on the crutch of kitsch.
Curious who might be on the Warped Tour next year? Chances are they'll play this nearly 4,000-square-foot, all-ages room way up in Spring first — or that they already have. Since JavaJazz relocated from Old Town Spring to its much more spacious FM 1960 quarters in 2006, several of the fastest-rising names in emo and punk-pop — Paramore, Plain White T's, Say Anything, From First to Last — have stopped by. Credit owner and booking agent Michael Kelley's perceptive ears for keeping JavaJazz just ahead of the ever-changing musical curve, and his partner Linda Sporkin for fostering an environment that's half after-school clubhouse, half CBGBs (and thus a frequent stop on the fire marshal's rounds). But mostly credit JavaJazz's clientele, whose ravenous appetite for music keeps them coming back again and again and again. Just remember, no booze; but rest assured there'll be plenty of water on hand since a mosh pit is almost sure to erupt.
With works including everything from square-dance dresses to Pilgrim mannequins to shadow puppets committing antebellum sodomy, "The Old Weird America" presented a weirdly insightful take on America. CAMH senior curator Toby Kamps honed in on bizarre strains of American folk culture in contemporary art and came up with a provocative collection of works that made viewers take a long, hard look at their cultural assumptions. Among the highlights was Cynthia Norton's Dancing Squared (2004), a sculpture that uses hidden motors to turn bouffant square-dance dresses into hypnotic hillbilly whirling dervishes. Meanwhile, Sam Durant salvaged hokey museum wax figures to present a revisionist history of the first Thanksgiving, an event that was more about genocide than intercultural potluck suppers. Even more unsettling, Kara Walker presented a video using vintage music and master-and-slave shadow puppets to create a disturbing and darkly satiric vision of the dark and disturbing Old South. Perhaps as an antidote to the imagery of Walker's work, Greta Pratt found and photographed contemporary Lincoln impersonators who come across as history-geek versions of a superhero.
There are no better artistic agents provocateurs than Jim and Ann Harithas and the Station Museum of Contemporary Art. The Station is privately funded and directed by the Harithases, which allows them to essentially do whatever the hell they want. A former director of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston as well as the Corcoran Museum of Art, Jim Harithas has the brains and the art savvy as well as the social and political convictions to make the most of the situation. In past shows, the Station has presented highly charged contemporary art from Palestine as well as an exhibition of work addressing the missing and murdered women of Juárez. The Station's achievements over the past year include the American debut of the Russian art collective AES+F's dramatically apocalyptic video Last Riot and the FotoFest exhibition "Apertura/Colombia," a showing of politically fearless and often poignant Colombian contemporary art that blew away everything else in the photography biennial.
Houston's self-proclaimed "Misfit of R&B" is equal parts sex, soul and hilarity. You(genious) is known on the local music scene for his ability to lay down sultry vocals while busting plenty of moves with his well-dressed, more-to-love torso. For him, every show is a chance to woo unsuspecting female audience members with tunes like "3 Minute Romance," "Is Your Mind Right?" and "Sex on a Spoon" — a fan favorite that includes the line "Make you howl at the moon — Woo!" You(genious) always manages to captivate a crowd of hipsters, and we're guessing he'd do just as well in front of a group of drunken Betties donning veils and various penis paraphernalia.
Poor little Aurora. In Dominic Walsh Dance Theater's version of Sleeping Beauty, she was a rebellious teen suffering from narcolepsy, drug abuse and, well, general sluttiness. Walsh turned the fairy tale on its head and created a splendid fast-footed, semi-comical, quasi-tragic tail of love, lust, teen angst and fantasy. The princess was a pain and the prince a geek, but it all worked out in the end. Walsh gave himself a star turn as Dr. Lyle Lac, who saved the day, sort of, with flying leaps and sci-fi-lit mime scenes. The company dazzled, the choreography sizzled, and the overall concept was fun and thought-provoking. For fans of DWDT, this was a pure gem of genius.

Kelly wants Irish to enjoy success, stay focused
SOUTH BEND, Ind.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly says he doesn't mind his players enjoying the excitement surrounding their best start in a decade, so long as they stay focused on what it's taken to get them there.
Kelly said Tuesday that the ninth-ranked Irish (4-0) have been depending too much on their defense. He says the offense needs to score more, starting Saturday against Miami (4-1), which is averaging 473 yards and 35.6 points a game. Notre Dame hasn't scored more than 20 points in its past three games.
Kelly also says a "clicking" quarterback Everett Golson was feeling in his right shoulder has cleared up.
