federal judge in Louisiana has taken control of an accident case involving his car and issued an order transferring evidence about his medical condition to a sealed federal court file.
The medical evidence is being sought by lawyers for former Gov. Edwin W. Edwards of Louisiana. Mr. Edwards is serving a 10-year sentence for extorting payoffs for casino riverboat licenses.
The former governor contends that the judge, Frank J. Polozola, should not have heard his criminal case in 1999 and 2000 because the judge admitted in his accident suit to being impaired and to using Oxy-Contin, a pain medication, in that period.
A lawyer for Mr. Edwards, Nathan Z. Dershowitz, called the intervention in the accident case outrageous.
"The notion that a federal judge can take over and enter orders in his own state case, in which he is a party, is to my knowledge unprecedented and shocking," Mr. Dershowitz said.
Experts in judicial ethics echoed that view. "This is really astonishing," Stephen Gillers, a law professor at New York University, said. "Polozola cannot be the judge of his own case. That's the first commandment of judicial ethics."
Through a judicial assistant, Judge Polozola, the chief judge of Federal District Court in Baton Rouge, declined to comment.
"He has a policy of not speaking to the media in any case pending before him," the aide, Jackie Gaudin, said.
Mr. Dershowitz said Mr. Edwards would appeal the judge's ruling.
In the accident case, filed in 1998, Judge Polozola, 62, sought compensation for a "serious physical injury" that caused him mental anguish and "impairment of function." In the trial in 2000, Mr. Edwards's lawyers wrote in filings, the judge engaged in "erratic, even paranoid" behavior. The accident case was settled in 2001, and testimony from the judge, his psychiatrist and his psychologist was sealed.
Mr. Edwards's lawyers, in challenging his conviction, recently sought to unseal those records. That led to a request from federal prosecutors last week that Judge Polozola take control of the state court case to avoid "irreparable injury to a national interest."
Twenty minutes after prosecutors filed that request, Judge Polozola ordered the evidence in his accident case transferred to federal court and sealed.
The United States attorney in New Orleans, James Letten, declined to comment, citing the pending federal case. ....

UNEMPLOYMENT has fallen across Dorset, according to new figures.
Data from the Office of National Statistics has shown a drop in the number of claimants in July.
Comparing figures from last year, there was a 35.8 per cent drop in Dorset from 8,420 to 5,403.
In West Dorset there was a 36 per cent drop, from 555 claimants to 355.
In Weymouth the number of claimants for July fell from 932 to 629 – a 32.5 per cent reduction.
South Dorset MP Richard Drax said he was pleased with the news.
He said: "I'm delighted. Any fall in unemployment must be welcomed because clearly the aim of any government is to get people back into work so they can create a life of opportunities and aspiration for them and their families.
"This news is of on the back of some of one of the worst economic recessions the country has ever been through.
"The fact that the ship is at last beginning to turn is a huge relief and very good news for the future."
Weymouth and Portland Borough Council's economic development spokesman Ray Nowak said: "That's good news for people in the borough in terms of more people having more cash in their pockets."
Cllr Nowak said the announcement tied in well the council's masterplan for Weymouth town centre. He added: "The town and the borough have a lot going for it at the moment. "That's why we are putting forward a plan much further ahead than normal."
In North Dorset, the number of claimants fell from 481 to 245, representing a 49.1 per cent drop.
North Dorset MP Robert Walter said he was heartened by the fall in unemployment.
Bouncing back into work
Paul Clarke, 45, from Westham, found himself unemployed at the end of April last year. He had worked as a machine operator at Kemet Electronics for 24 years.
By the beginning of July, Mr Clarke had a new job, which he remains happy with. He said: "I took a couple of months off. Then I applied at Asda, got it and I'm still there."

Product Information
Use the size chart! We ended up purchasing these in both Medium and Small. I thought there was no way our 60lb pittie would be a small, but turns out he is. These booties run large. They seem well made and hopefully sturdy enough to stay on this winter!
We love the Guardian Gear Fleece dog boots! They are bright red...very stylish!...and they are so easy to put on & take off. Gotta love velcro! And your shipping was amazingly fast. Thanks so much!
We have a Min-Pin who is very sensitive to the cold, down to & including the pads of his feet. We got him the xxx-small fleece dog boots & they fit him perfectly. They even have a rubber pad on the bottom of the boot that protect the pads on his feet from the cold. He now stays out long enough to do his duty without being in pain from the cold. Thanks Guardian Gear Weatherized Fleece Dog Boots!!!
Finally, a boot with a rubber bottom which is not too clunky and fits. Time will tell how well it stays on. Medium fit my small GSD girl, and also my SP male.
My 65 lb Shepard mix was in need of new boots and I searched high & low looking for some that were durable but also wouldn't break the bank. I found them at Baxterboo. I wasn't sure about the size (small) even though his feet are not big, but I measured and followed the guidelines and they fit perfectly. I love that the cuff sits higher on the leg giving him more protection against snow getting in and the Velcro closure is below the cuff. The rubber bottom is great too, to protect the bottom of his feet, give him traction and keep his feet dry and warm. It hasn't snowed here yet, but I tried them on him and he likes them. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Baxterboo
I got these boots for my doberman as we live in New England and I am very pleased with them! She goes on walks alot through the woods and once the snow gets crunchy, it tends to irritate her paws. These boots stop that from happening, plus they give her better traction on the slippery surfaces. They are a GREAT buy if you have a dog that loves walks, but you hate the cold and cut up feet they come back with sometimes.

Hallett Materials
Sentinels of Safety Awards Banquet
Houston, Texas
December 10, 2003
Good evening everyone.
Thank you for that kind introduction.
First of all, I'd like to thank Frank Johnson and his colleagues for arranging the tour this morning at the Porter Plant and Pit. I enjoyed meeting with the miners and seeing for myself why this is such a stellar operation.
Secondly, I appreciate the opportunity to join in this evening's celebration. I know that all of you must be extremely proud of your accomplishments, and I want you to know that we at MSHA share in your pride.
And I would like to thank Montgomery Chamber of Commerce for recognizing this outstanding accomplishment of Hallett Materials, by hosting this event.
Hallett Materials is one of eight mining operations to receive the 2002 Sentinels of Safety Award. Think about this. You are one of the eight out of 14,000 mines in the U.S.
You may not be aware, but collectively, these eight companies worked nearly two million employee hours without a lost-time injury last year. And your record of 90,595 injury-free hours stands out among all dredge operations as the best.
That is an incredible accomplishment.
The Sentinels of Safety winners effectively demonstrate what it takes to achieve an injury-free work record. They have done so for 77 years, since the inception of the award in 1925.
In many people's minds, it is the World Series of safety awards. Or if you'd prefer, the Super Bowl of safety awards. Either way, it is the most prestigious award of its kind.
This year, at MSHA, we did some celebrating of our own. We marked the 25th anniversary of the Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, legislation which created our Agency.
This Act set the basic framework for all that we do in the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
We've certainly made a great deal of progress - 72 percent fewer fatals, and injury rates are down by 49 percent.
As we near the end of the calendar year, we stand to break records yet again with regard to the number that will be returning home to their families in a healthy and safe condition.
We are very proud.
The industry should be proud.
You should be proud, and your families should be proud. And I know that Jim Rasmussen, the person who set the standard for safety excellence at Hallett, would be extremely proud.
As a recipient of a Sentinels of Safety award, you truly are champions of safety in the mining industry, and whether you know it or not, have played a significant role in the achievements this industry has made.
You have demonstrated that, in such a dynamic field, it is indeed possible to work safely, and to return home to your families at the end of every shift in a healthy and safe condition.
You, the winners, are the role models. You set the bar, and often you raise that bar.
Since I've been with MSHA, I have made it a priority to get out and meet with our stakeholders in the mining industry. I've had the pleasure of visiting a number of this year's Sentinels of Safety winners.
I've talked one-on-one with dozens of miners at these operations.
Each time, just as I was today, I'm struck by the level of commitment miners and mine operators demonstrate to maintain a safe and healthy work environment.
In each case, they have recognized the planning, knowledge, experience and skill required to maintain such a level of safety and health, along with teamwork from all levels of the organization.
And they make safety a core value in their operations. Just as Hallett has.
The Sentinels of Safety winners also demonstrate a willingness to improve -- by constantly focusing on the task at hand and on potential hazards. Ours is an industry with no room for complacency.
And I want to emphasize that we in the Mine Safety and Health Administration are committed to providing you with all the assistance you may need to maintain your sterling records.
One of our goals is to see that the number of mines achieving such high standards grows each year.
In fact, MSHA and the National Mining Association have agreed to jointly conduct a review of the current eligibility criteria, including possible expansion of the Sentinels program in 2004.
I would also like to commend Hallett Materials for becoming a willing partner in our "Best Practices" initiative that had its pilot program last spring - we call it the Stakeholders' Best Practices Initiative.
Each member of the team - which represented companies with excellent safety and health records - was charged with developing one safety best practice and one health best practice.
We encouraged the teams to use the practices they had adopted at their own operations, and then to share this information with mines throughout the country.
The pilot project was a great success. Three best practices, which were finalized by MSHA's Technical Support staff, are on view on our web site.
In 2004, we will expand this initiative to include all the Sentinels of Safety winners.
So Hallett Materials will be an integral part of this initiative.
Through your example, other companies will be able to improve upon their own health and safety records.
Who knows? Maybe one of them will be a Sentinels of Safety winner in the near future.
Once again, my deep congratulations to each one of you here today.
As I said earlier, we value this award as much as you do, and I am so very honored to be able to be here to celebrate your success with you.
Let's continue to send more miners home safely in the coming months.
And so, it is with pride that I now present, on behalf of the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the prestigious Sentinels of Safety to Hallett Materials Porter Plant for working 90,595 injury-free hours.
God bless America and God bless our nation's miners.

Gripe Water For Babies
Congratulations! If you are on this Gripe Water For Babies site, then you probably have just had a lovely new baby. Does your baby suffer from colic, indigestion or wind?
Heard about the wonders of gripe water? Want to know the facts and truth behind this remedy? You have come to the right place!
The aim of our site is to provide with all the information you need, unbiased information, for you to be able to make the best decision for your baby.
What is Gripe Water?
Gripe water has been around for years. It was first formulated as a home remedy in London, England in the 1800's.
Having been founded in England, its popularity spread throughout Europe and so is found most commonly in pharmacies or medical stores in Europe. However, it is now gaining popularity througout the world.
Gripe water is known as a herbal concoction for treating colic in babies. The phrase or name gripe water covers every liquid or solution that is formulated using purely herbal products. There is not just one gripe water available although the original gripe water is said to have contained alcohol, dill oil and fennel. These days every manufacturer has a different version of gripe water for babies.
It is very easy to be confused as a consumer and to assume that gripe water describes a certain specific concoction of herbs. It is much easier to think of it as an umbrella term for example cough syrup. There are many different kinds with many different ingredients. The one thing that every gripe water should be is purely herbal.
Does Gripe Water Work?
I am sure this is the main question you want answered! Well, first, you need to understand what the cause of colic is.
And NO! Colic is not caused by wind, indigestion, gas or reflux! These are just the symptoms! To truly treat colic, you need to treat the cause.
Grab this FREE Report on The Truth About Colic and learn all you need to know about colic and how to treat it safely and effectively.


text: by Carolyn Mckerracher on 6th August 2013 Behind every missing person, there is a story. Indeed, there are multiple stories, told by different observers, all of whom have been touched by the unexpected departure of someone they knew. The Engineer Theatre Collective investigated, developed and performed this piece, which is based on their own interviews with the people involved in several real missing persons' cases. The combination of monologue, dialogue, lecture and movement results in a dramatic production which tugs at the heart, frightens and informs.The performance opens with the media frenzy surrounding the Madeleine McCann case, but the audience is soon taken on a journey through the disappearances of Moira Anderson from Coatbridge, Luke Durbin from Ipswich and Nicola Payne from Coventry. Their friends and families talk about what happened then and what life is like now without them. A police investigator explains the procedure when someone first goes missing, how they assess the risk and decide on a course of action. An MP describes a new act to help families of missing persons deal with their estates. Even the son of a perpetrator has his voice heard. The fact that each character is based on a real person makes this production all the more eerie.The set is simple and effective. Boxes and scrolls are used to evoke the passage of time and, most poignantly, a journey down an ordinary street. No additional props or costume changes are used to signify that an actor has changed character, each simply uses their own voice to indicate a different story. As such, the acting is very good and the timing spot on, particularly when a group of friends are talking casually about Luke.The production flags a little in the middle with too much of an emphasis on monologues, needing something more visual to happen throughout. However, it is still a production which deserves to be found. Venue Number 61. Underbelly, Cowgate, 56 Cowgate (entrances on Cowgate and Victoria Street), EH1 1EG. 1-25 August 20:05 (1 hour). Suitability: U. The Blurb In Britain, one person goes missing every two minutes. What does it mean for those left behind? How does a person disappear forever? And most of all, why?

Each week Screen Play gives you the chance to test your gaming knowledge.
All you have to do is name the game.
The review below has been excavated from the archives, and could have been published anytime between 1992 and 2011.
The tricky part is you won't get the full review straight away. Instead, only parts of the review will be initially published, with more details following throughout the day.
Here is today's challenge...
Creepy, cooky, mysterious and ooky. This game must have been designed by a member of the Addams Family, it's disgusting.
You are a cockroach trying to stay alive in a putrid house filled with dead rats, rotting fish, festering meat filled with maggots, and insects galore. There are all sorts of pitfalls to face, including traps and a killer cat.
The locations have been all photographed then digitised, looking so extremely realistic that those who are squeamish might lose their lunch after the first few games. Your cockroach also looks fantastic, scurrying over filthy ashtrays, across kitchen tables and through oil heaters.
Controls are extremely limited: you simply use the four arrow keys to move your cockroach, but I guess it reflects the fact that cockroaches aren't really skilled in the art of piano playing or nuclear science. All of the puzzles therefore involve pushing razor blades off shelves to kill rats, or burning spiders with a deft flick of a cigarette butt.
Despite a wonderfully stylish gaming arena, the game is a little slow. The puzzles are limited and you can often get stuck wandering around not knowing what to do or where to go.
Some excellent video clips which offer clues and advance the "plot" help liven the game up, but the action is never exciting. To add to your frustration, you often die without warning.
But despite all its problems, there's something compelling and intriguing about the game. The atmosphere is brilliant and you find yourself trying to think and act like a cockroach.
It's one of the few truly unique games around. Check it out if you have a strong stomach and a taste for the bizarre.

What do beer and pot have common? Everything on 4/20
What do beer and pot have in common? Not much. In fact, there are plenty of smokers who hate beer drinkers and plenty of imbibers who scorn pot heads.
But on 4/20, maybe we can all just get a long.
Craft breweries seem to think it can work, and a number of them are holding special events or offering beers on tap designed to celebrate along with marijuana advocates.
We outlined two earlier today: Vine Street Pub's 4/20 birthday celebration and the Satchel's Market event with California's Stone Brewing Company.
But you'll also find beer made with hemp seeds on tap.
Twisted Pine Brewing in Boulder releases Hemp IPA today, a 9 percent abv beer made with roasted hemp seeds; even better, free beer shots at the tap house at 4:20 p.m.
And in Colorado Springs, Trinity Brewing Company will tap The Emperor Wears No Clothes, also made with hemp seeds, a 5.5 percent abv Belgian saison.
Meanwhile, back in Boulder, you can "get Hazed" with Boulder Beer Company at the Sink restaurant from 4:20 to 6:20 p.m. Beer from the first keg of the brewery's Hazed & Infused is free.
The brewpub itself will feature pot stickers, twice-baked potato skins and Boulder Beer brownies.
If I hear about other beer- and pot-related events today, I'll update this blog.

APOLLO BEACH – Jesuit senior Michael Conlon had completely forgotten about the Alvarez awards for Hillsborough County's top high school soccer players, so it took him a few minutes after entering the Alvarez Company CPA office Thursday night to figure out why he was there.
Conlon earned the Jose A. Alvarez Award for the top boys player, and Steinbrenner's Dani Eule took home the Janet Alvarez Award for the top girl in the county.
"I was so shocked," Conlon said. "I'm still blown away by it."
Conlon became the third Tiger to win the award in the last four years, after Tyler Hartlage (2011) and Brett Durrance (2012). The center back scored seven goals and had three assists in 20 games but made his mark on defense, where Jesuit coach Eric Sims calls him one of the best he's ever coached.
The team captain also scored the first goal in the district championship game and took the Tigers to the Class 3A region final. He will continue playing club soccer at Ole Miss, where he plans to study business.
Hillsborough's Daniel Lorenzo was the runnerup for the award, which is decided by county coaches.
Eule became Steinbrenner's second female recipient of the honor, edging runnerup Alex Schweitzer of Carrollwood Day.
The center midfielder and two-year captain was one of the county's most technical players and was the Warriors' top playmaker. Some of her biggest contributions came with leadership on a young team in a rebuilding year.
"I enjoyed being that type of person on the field," Eule said.
Eule has signed with East Carolina, where she intends to study psychology with hopes of becoming a psychologist.

Prime Minister: Abdi Farrah Shirdon Said (2012)
Land area: 242,216 sq mi (627,339 sq km); total area: 246,199 sq mi (637,657 sq km)
Population (July 2014 est.): 10,428,043 (growth rate: 1.75%); birth rate: 40.87/1000; infant mortality rate: 100.14/1000; life expectancy: 51.58

Somalia, situated in the Horn of Africa, lies along the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. It is bounded by Djibouti in the northwest, Ethiopia in the west, and Kenya in the southwest. In area it is slightly smaller than Texas. Generally arid and barren, Somalia has two chief rivers, the Shebelle and the Juba.
Between Jan. 1991 and Aug. 2000, Somalia had no working government. A fragile parliamentary government was formed in 2000, but it expired in 2003 without establishing control of the country. In 2004, a new transitional parliament was instituted and elected a president.
From the 7th to the 10th century, Arab and Persian trading posts were established along the coast of present-day Somalia. Nomadic tribes occupied the interior, occasionally pushing into Ethiopian territory. In the 16th century, Turkish rule extended to the northern coast, and the sultans of Zanzibar gained control in the south.
After British occupation of Aden in 1839, the Somali coast became its source of food. The French established a coal-mining station in 1862 at the site of Djibouti, and the Italians planted a settlement in Eritrea. Egypt, which for a time claimed Turkish rights in the area, was succeeded by Britain. By 1920, a British and an Italian protectorate occupied what is now Somalia. The British ruled the entire area after 1941, with Italy returning in 1950 to serve as United Nations trustee for its former territory.
By 1960, Britain and Italy granted independence to their respective sectors, enabling the two to join as the Republic of Somalia on July 1, 1960. Somalia broke diplomatic relations with Britain in 1963 when the British granted the Somali-populated Northern Frontier District of Kenya to the Republic of Kenya.
On Oct. 15, 1969, President Abdi Rashid Ali Shermarke was assassinated and the army seized power. Maj. Gen. Mohamed Siad Barre, as president of a renamed Somali Democratic Republic, leaned heavily toward the USSR. In 1977, Somalia openly backed rebels in the easternmost area of Ethiopia, the Ogaden Desert, which had been seized by Ethiopia at the turn of the century. Somalia acknowledged defeat in an eight-month war against the Ethiopians that year, having lost much of its 32,000-man army and most of its tanks and planes. President Siad Barre fled the country in late Jan. 1991. His departure left Somalia in the hands of a number of clan-based guerrilla groups, none of which trusted each other.
Salient Links UK Limited launched the Diplomat Link in October 2011 with an objective to provide a platform to diplomatic community to share and exchange their experiences while working in different cultures and countries.

The sale marks the final exit of BlackRock's local property operation which included a portfolio worth about $220 million.
The group began the exit with the sale of its industrial holdings to a
The group then proceeded with the sale of four office towers in Sydney and Melbourne to foreign and local investors. Assets included a 13-storey tower at 555 Lonsdale Street in the heart of Melbourne's legal and financial district.
The 9800-square metre Foxtel building at 35 Robina Town Centre Drive was the last and possibly most challenging asset for BlackRock to offload.
The building is fully leased to Foxtel subsidiary
BlackRock developed the building in 2001 after land was purchased from the Queensland Investment Corporation.
"With only a handful of commercial assets of this size, quality and value available on the Gold Coast, we anticipate strong interest from all over the country and internationally when more opportunities of this nature come to the market," Mr Sandstrom said.
He said that despite the high vacancy rate on the Gold Coast the office market was in "revival mode" due to the investment in public infrastructure in the lead up to the Commonwealth Games.

La Piscine is one of those wonderful French films that often gets kind of swept under the rug when we think of 60s French cinema. The cast alone is includes Alain Delon, Romy Schneider and Jane Birkin, all at the prime of their cinematic fame. Released in 1969, it was the fourth most popular movie at the French box offices that year. The story is set in the south of France during a particularly steamy summer––Marianne (Schneider) and Jean-Paul (Delon) are vacationing at their friend's summer home when Harry (Maurice Ronet), friend of Jean-Paul and former fling of Marianne, stops by unexpectedly with his daughter Penelope (Birkin). The luxuriously relaxed Côte d'Azur villa setting sits in sharp contrast to the slow simmering drama of sexual tension and jealousy that subtly builds over several days.
The setting is stunning, very old school Mediterranean villa with mid-century modern furnishings, and the cast boast's some of French cinema's most beautiful people dressed in the designs of the movie's costume designer and tastemaker of French fashion, André Courrèges. The look is relaxed French cool––bathing suits abound as well as crisp white dresses, t-shirts and blouses. Marianne, the older of the two girls, favors dresses and bathing suits of the haltered variety. When going grocery shopping, she sports a pale blue blouse with crisp navy slacks that's smart and feels very Courrèges. She exudes the kind of confidence that you would expect from an intelligent woman as beautiful as Romy Schneider. Penelope, the doe eyed teenager, dresses in a very girlish mod fashion. Mini skirts, high waister trousers, and crocheted coverups flaunt Jane Birkin's infamous legs. The wicker basket she was notoriously always carrying is seen throughout the film too (this is the very bag whose malfunction would go on to inspire Hermes CEO Jean-Louis Dumas to create the Birkin bag). Between the two of them, they have the kind of classic casual French wardrobe that's equal parts preppy and flirtatious that we all wish we could have.

This is Spinal Tap
1984 (1998) New Line/Embassy Pictures (Criterion)
review by Todd Doogan of
The Digital Bits
Film Rating: "11" (see review)
Disc Rating (Video/Audio/Extras): B+/A/A
Specs and Features
82 mins, NR, letterboxed widescreen (1.70:1), dual-sided, single-layered, Amaray keep case packaging, theatrical trailers, two audio commentary tracks (one with director Rob Reiner, producer Karen Murphy and editors Robert Leighton and Kent Beyda, and another with stars Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer), 20 minute demo reel
Spinal Tap: The Final Tour
, fake commercial for their album
Heavy Metal Memories
, video for
Hell Hole
, deleted scenes, abandoned subplots, alternate takes, animated film themed menus with sound, scene access (32 chapters per side), languages: English (DD 2.0), subtitles: none
As you can see, the only way to rate this film properly is by giving it an "11". This is the all-time mother of all rockumentaries. Forget
Behind The Music
or Lifetime's
Intimate Portrait
- this is what it's all about.
This Is Spinal Tap
made a minor dent in the Heavy Metal armor of the youth culture when it hit theaters in 1984. Over the years, that dent has become bigger and bigger, as
Spinal Tap
has gone on to become a major cult phenomenon on video - metal might be dead, but
lives forever.
The film amusingly tracks the fall of England's least important metal band, Spinal Tap. I have to say, with much hindsight, this film is one of comedy's greatest entries. It truly is a laugh riot, and I can't think of a better way to enjoy this film than on DVD. Rob Reiner makes his directorial debut, while also playing documentary filmmaker Marty DiBergi. DiBergi is following the eponymous English metal band as they try to claw their way through the Americas in pursuit of money and success.
The Criterion Collection furthers its high standard of DVD production to new heights with each disc it releases, and they didn't disappoint with this one. Even the animated menu screens are well thought out - we get hellfire lying at the bottom of the screen, licking and spitting at the onscreen options. The disc looks wonderful for a non-RSDL, non-anamorphic transfer. The film fits nicely at 82 minutes on one side. The supplemental side isn't as stellar, but overall it looks fine. The amount of supplemental material makes up for it - more on that in a second. The sound is the original 2.0 stereo (Dolby Digital on DVD) and it works fine. Some might have liked a remastered DD 5.1 track, just to open up the "live" portions a little more, but then that might have screwed with the idea that this is a "documentary". In its original stereo, it is just about perfect. Audio and video-wise, this is a well-rounded disc.
As for the features, let me just list them off for you: you get two separate audio tracks (one with the boys of Spinal Tap showcasing the comedic genius of this team, and another track, almost equally funny, featuring Rob Reiner and some key talent behind the camera). These both run the length of the film, and can be found on the movie side. The highlight of this disc, though, is the supplemental section. Can you believe that there are so many extras, you actually have to flip the disc over just to see them all? There are the hilarious promotional trailers showing an Octoberfest celebration that has absolutely nothing to do with the movie. There's also the original 20-minute demo reel that features some of the better bits of the film, shot with different supporting actors, and some scenes that didn't even make the theatrical release. This was put together to raise money for the production, and it gives a completely different look to some of the characters. They also throw in a fake commercial for a best-of album
Heavy Metal Memories
and the video for
Hell Hole
. Both look real, real funny. Last, but certainly not least, we have about an hour of scenes that didn't make it. Did you hear that? A whole hour of material that didn't make the final cut! Can you believe it? It's all really funny, but some of the funnier bits are the more in-depth scenes with Billy Crystal's ranting mime, and some great character work by Bruno Kirby as a chauffeur that can't get enough of Frank Sinatra.

I'm not sure, but I think I've come across a static route configuration
problem. I am trying to point a static route that goes from my Opt1
interface, to my LAN interface. My Opt1 interface is on a seperate
subnet than my LAN. So, I set up a route that pertains to Opt1
interface, along with the destination network, and the IP of my LAN
interface as the gateway. Now, I realize that this is not an entirely
correct way to make a static route (the gateway should be another router
connected to the m0n0wall), however, when I do a tracert to the
destination, my LAN IP never comes up. It times out right after the
Opt1 interface. Also, if I do a tracert to the network from a machine
hooked to the LAN subnet, I get a double hop at the LAN interface. I
wouldn't expect that since the rule was entered to pertain to the Opt1
interface, so I assumed it wouldn't affect the LAN interface at all.
Also, when looking at the status.php page, the routing table shows xl0
under the netif column. xl0 is my LAN interface, while an0 is my Opt1
interface. Shouldn't it show an0 under netif? Have I found a bug?
BTW, I am running version pb23r570.

The media's main interest in Ayn Rand, unsurprisingly, is her work as a political thinker, and her influence on modern politics. Often this translates into treating it as though that had been Ayn Rand's main interest as well. Journalists will matter-of-factly refer to Ayn Rand as a "political philosopher." Others will go so far as to claim, falsely, that her novels are mere vehicles for her political views. But Ayn Rand, judging both by her stated intentions and her body of work, was above all a novelist and a philosopher, not a political activist.
That her political writing is so original and expansive likely makes it easier for many to believe this myth. But that merely goes to show how much more original and expansive her writing is as a whole. A simple survey of her body of work makes it clear enough that politics was only a fraction of it. Of her two longest and most famous novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, the first is the story of a man's career and romantic life, with themes of character and morality, that hardly references politics at all. The second, while more political than the first, has a moral theme that is equally or more prominent. Indeed, on one level, the actual theme of Atlas Shrugged is neither political nor moral but metaphysical: "the role of man's mind in existence."
Surveying Rand's nonfiction indicates the same. Of the seven anthologies that make up her prominent non-fiction work, only two are about politics. Two are about philosophy in general, one is about ethics, and one is about epistemology (the branch of philosophy regarding how knowledge is obtained, verified, etc.) And of the 12 chapters that make up the summary of Objectivism written by Ayn Rand's intellectual heir, only two of them are about politics.
One reason for this is that Ayn Rand considered politics, as a subject, a secondary consequence of more fundamental philosophy. Rand's arguments for her distinctive political views are rooted in her distinctive views in ethics and epistemology. As she put it: "I am not primarily an advocate of capitalism, but of egoism; and I am not primarily an advocate of egoism, but of reason. If one recognizes the supremacy of reason and applies it consistently, all the rest follows." And Rand argued that changes in, and battles for, cultural philosophy ultimately had far more consequence, that "A political battle is merely a skirmish fought with muskets; a philosophical battle is a nuclear war." [pg. 201]
Just as Rand's primary interest in philosophy was not politics, her primary interest as a novelist was not to argue for her philosophy.
The motive and purpose of my writing is the projection of an ideal man. The portrayal of a moral ideal, as my ultimate literary goal, as an end in itself - to which any didactic, intellectual, or philosophical values contained in a novel are only the means.
Let me stress this: my purpose is not the philosophical enlightenment of my readers, it is not the beneficial influence which my novels may have on people, it is not the fact that my novels may help a reader's intellectual development. All these matters are important, but they are secondary considerations...
My basic test for any story is: Would I want to meet these characters and observe these event in real life? Is this story an experience worth living through for its own sake? Is the pleasure of contemplating these characters an end in itself? [pg. 162]It has been used as proof that Ayn Rand's work is political and polemical, or even that her fiction are "not even novels," that they feature definite themes about real life and include sometimes-lengthy character speeches on those themes. Such accusations make little sense. Philosophically and morally relevant themes are an essential part of fiction writing, not contrary to it. Writers such as George Orwell and Robert Heinlein, for instance, often included long non-fiction-like inserts, and their work is never accused of "not being novels" for it. And Ayn Rand, in my view at least, does a much better job than writers such as those at integrating the direct statements of ideas into the actual plot.
So not only is Ayn Rand much more an artist and philosopher than political writer, her art and philosophy are intrinsic parts of understanding her political views. The trait that perhaps most distinguishes Rand from other political writers is that she explicitly and consistently rooted her political ideas in a basic philosophy. Not nearly as many people would be intrigued by her unique and radical political views if she didn't also challenge the cultural philosophy that underlies mainstream political thought. Indeed, this is most likely why her critics spread this myth. Don't make the mistake of buying it.

Adbusters may offend slightly fewer people than The Door Magazine, which is subtitled "The World's Pretty Much Only Religious Satire Magazine". The May/June issue lists, for example, a series of corrections which have been demanded by the Church of Scientology: "In yesterday's edition we reported that Kirstie Alley hasn't felt good about herself since Cheers. We have since learned that she wakes up every morning grateful for a new beginning and for her daily counselling session at the Scientology Celebrity Center ... We would like to retract last month's report that Priscilla Presley believes her first husband is still alive. She doesn't, not anymore at least."
It also suggests "Practical jokes God might play: Bring Elvis back from the dead. Send Charlton Heston to Mount Rushmore with additional commandments. Get Michael Jackson to moonwalk on water in Holy Cola commercials. Allow Hell to freeze over. Create an honest French figure-skating judge."
But not even The Door Magazine would publish a regular comic strip entitled "So I was smokin' crack with God the other day ..." That sort of shock value is the specialty of toomuchcoffeeman, which opens with this message from the publisher: "Letters from the publishers that talk about the hard work of putting out a magazine and how they hope you'll enjoy it suck. So I'm not going to do that."
Instead, toomuchcoffeeman publishes learned articles on "Why patriotism makes you stupid", "Beer Lover's Guide To Coffee", why modern babies don't crawl, and why humans probably evolved from frogs.
Toomuchcoffeeman seems to attract a great deal of advertising, which suggests it might last a while. Most of the ads look genuine, though we had our doubts about this one: "Experience the future of toilet paper! Pillowsoft Shitbegone".
If you go to a Web site called www.shitbegone.com, you may be surprised.
And that, after all, is what you buy magazines for.

Teenager Ben Davies is ready to test himself in the Premier League following Neil Taylor's season-ending injury for Swansea City.
Davies, 19, was thrown into first-team action in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Sunderland when Taylor suffered a dislocation and triple fracture of his left ankle in a first half challenge with Craig Gardner.
With Taylor set to miss the rest of the season, Neath-born Davies is likely to fill the void unless Swansea boss Michael Laudrup can find a suitable replacement who is currently out of contract and available outside the transfer window.
In the meantime Davies appears to be first choice to replace Taylor having been used ahead of veteran defender Alan Tate so far this season.
Davies came on as a late substitute against West Ham in Swansea's first home game before playing 70 minutes against Sunderland.
He said: "At the moment everyone's thoughts are with Neil.
"We hope he has a speedy recovery because it's a nasty injury.
"I was just hoping to be involved with the squad, so to play two games out of the first three is unbelievable.
"Now there's an opportunity for me to test myself against the best.
"I turned up for pre-season hoping to push my way into Michael Laudrup's plans, but to do as well as I have is a bit overwhelming."
Davies' assured performance in front of Wales boss Chris Coleman at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday has seen him drafted into the national senior squad for the opening World Cup qualifiers against Belgium and Serbia.
Coleman is without Taylor and occasional left-back Danny Collins, who has retired from international football at the age of 32 to concentrate on his league career at Nottingham Forest.
Despite admitting he didn't feel "anywhere near" the Wales first team at the moment, Davies said he was happy with his display in the action-packed draw with Sunderland.
He said: "It was a good test for me to come on for that amount of time when the game was still competitive.
"I came on against West Ham when we were 3-0 up and cruising.
"It was a totally different test on Saturday and I thought I did okay.
"I kept the ball simple and got through the game.
"There were a few butterflies before I came on, especially coming up against an expensive new signing like Adam Johnson. But Alan Curtis told me to be confident and to just keep doing the things that have got me into the squad.
"I got an early tackle on him and that settled me down."
Davies signed a new two-year deal this summer having joined the club's youth ranks at the age of eight.
He made his first senior start in the first round of the Capital One Cup and says it's been a dream come true to play for his hometown club.
Both his parents are season ticket holders at the Liberty and, despite his meteoric rise from youth to first team at Swansea, he is not being allowed to get carried away.
Davies added: "They were very happy but they're keeping me level headed and I'm not getting ahead of myself.
"I've got a long way to go in my career and a lot of work ahead of me.
"It's all been a bit of a shock, but I've got to take it in my stride and keep going."

The Desert Tech (Desert Tactical Arms) SRS-A1 is a multi-role bullpup rifle system. This rifle features a 22 inch match grade fluted threaded barrel with a 1x11 twist. This packages comes with the .308 Win caliber kit but can also be ordered with additional caliber kits. This configuration features a complete Flat Dark Earth chassis with a integrated monopod and comes with one 6 round magazine.
The Stealth Recon Scout A1 (SRS-A1) is the most versatile Sniper Rifle system in the world. It is nearly a foot shorter than conventional sniper rifles, maintains 1/2 MOA or better accuracy with DTM Ammunition, and can be easily adapted to individual mission requirements by changing the weapon's caliber and length. Whether a police sniper is shooting 50 yards or a military sniper is shooting a mile the SRS offers unrivaled flexibility in a package shorter than the M16 battle rifle.
Innovative Design:
The SRS A1 was designed around the core components of accuracy with aircraft grade materials to minimize size and weight. The A1 design has been refined with enhancements in reliability and durability with its improved firing and extraction mechanisms. It also utilizes new technology polymer that increases strength more than 150% for the same weight.
The SRS achieves superb accuracy and maintains 1/2 MOA in all calibers because it's built around core accuracy components:
1. Match grade (free-floated) barrels, chambers, and crowns
2. High quality match trigger
3. Solid, repeating return-to-zero barrel mounting system (the receiver securely clamps around the first six inches of barrel)
Effective Range: .308 Win: 800 yd (731 meters)
The SRS-A1 is the shortest sniper rifle in the world. With its telecoping bolt and bullpup configuration it is almost a foot shorter than the conventional sniper rifles.
The SRS was designed to operate under the harshest conditions and abuse. It is built of high-impact polymers; aircraft grade aluminum (ANSI 7075-T6); ultra high-strength steels; and some of the most durable coatings known to man. The monolithic receiver serves as a full length mounting chassis, eliminating the need for any sort of receiver-to-stock bedding interface. Ergonomic stock panels attach directly to the receiver.
The SRS maintains its accuracy and reliability in virtually any environment, including subzero arctic temperatures, extreme desert heat and dust, and wet jungle environments.
Quick Caliber Conversion:
The SRS-A1 is the most versatile sniper rifle system in the world. With tha ability to quickly switch between seven different calibers, operators can change rifle length, penetration, and distance capabilities based on mission requirements.
The SRS is quickly convertible between the following calibers: .308 Winchester (22" and 26" barrels), .260 Remington, 6.5x47 Lapua, 7mm Winchester Short Mag, .300 Winchester Magnum, .338 Norma Magnum, and .338 Lapua Magnum. The caliber conversion and return to zero is simple and takes less than 60 seconds.
1. Operators can change rifle length, penetration, and distance capabilities.
2. Snipers can shoot various ammo calibers and types depending on METT-T.
3. Snipers can progressively train on more powerful ammo.
4. Reduced training costs (train and practice with .308 WIN)
5. Reduced system down-times (the operator can change his own barrels).
Desert Tech, formerly known as Desert Tactical Arms was founded in 2007. Over the last seven years they have established a strong reputation of creating the most accuraate and compact rifle systems in the world. Designing is an art that they take very serious, they are the experts at creating designs that optimize the necessary and eliminate the unnecessary. Their products are simple, attractive, and provide more versatility than the competition.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The chemical plant emitting a constant foul smell approx. half a mile from the hotel. Very Very expensive for a no star hostel. We moved to a Parador Hotel for the same price. No reviews were available.
Staff and cleanliness of room Compared with hotel booked at olite,which was a similar price this hotel was not as good value -no air conditioning
I have stayed at many Hostals in Spain and this has to be the best yet. The manager is frendly but professional. The accommodation is very stylish and comfortable. The location just a five miute walk from the centre of this attractive and historic town is excellent.
Friendly helpful Staff. Good sized room and good quality bathroom and toilet facilities with lots of little extras. Not you run of the mill plastic bulk standard. Should extend WiFi from common areas to rooms. Adsl available in rooms but who carries a lan lead these days? Breakfast available from 8 am not much good for business travellers or early risers or those wanting an early start.
Excellent hotel in the town centre, ample parking. Breakfast is fairly expensive, and there are not too many alternatives nearby.
Professional staff and comfortable accomodation.
The amazing location and views.
The location was beautiful. The Terrace was lovely. The room had an LCD tv. After a room change, we had a lovely view to the rear of the Parador over the countryside behind. Huge bathroom. Our first room we were given had a view onto a wall (302) but we got a change. Noise travels in the rooms. The people above us made so much noise that we thought the games room was above us but it wasn't. Noise continued until 12.30am every night. The restaurant is very pricey for what you get and the service would have been better if it came with a smile. After staying at Parador in Cardona, this was a bit of a let down.
The facilities were excellent, parking easy and pleasant surroundings Food was good but the menu a little limited.
The way the hotel design integrated with the medieval city ..Food and service was excellent
The quality. Nothing was disliked.
Location is awe inspiring. The Parador itself is perfect in almost every way with the luxury that we AMIGOS have come to expect to enjoy at reasonable rates. A common flaw in Paradors seems to be the the rather brusque attitude of the senior reception desk staff where " please" is the hardest word.
We liked very much the atmosphere and the restaurant where we had a wanderfull meal no comments
A Great place to relax for a few days well worth a look
Amazing location at the edge of a castle type town. Very friendly and helpful staff, very clean. A renovated old house built into the rock. Facilities quite basic in the bedroom but a huge bathroom and spa shower. You walk out into the old castle area with superb views. Lots of walking on cobbles. We took at least 50 photos!! Lovely toiletries! Plenty to eat for breakfast but no eggs.
The staff were very helpful. The location couldn't be better and the facilities were very comfortable. They gave me a lead to connect to their system when the wifi didn't work and there was also a guests' computer in the lobby. We had breakfast at a nearby cafe on the first day and in the hotel on the second. Cafe was far better value and choice.
Hotel was built recently - perfect combination of new facilites in a beautifully restored old building in a quiet pedestrian street in the old town
Sos Del Rey is an amazing little town and our 2-night stay at El Peiron was perfect. The staff were all lovely and our room beautifully appointed.
The hotel itself was beautiful as was this village. nothing..everything was perfect
A gem of a hotel in the historic part of a traditional Spanish village, beautifully renovated and furnished to a very high standard. The staff were very welcoming and informative. The best hotel of our holiday!
Mostly sightseeing and walking When we checked out the proprietor asked why there were only 3 towels in our bathroom -there were only 3 when we arrived
Lovely setting, wonderful breakfasts, friendly staff, excellent location. no
Wonderful hotel fantastic service amazing breakfasts, fascinating walking around the village It was like a dream come true and all 7 of us would have stayed longer if we could have. Would rave about the hotel and place to everyone we know.
Location. View of church/castle and surrounding countryside.Friendly staff. We attended the church service on the Sunday morning. A real step back in time with the nuns completly seperated from view. If you like choral singing this was an unexpected bonus in a very atmospheric setting-even if you are not particularly religious. Very thin walls. Sounded like the person next door was in our room. Wedding party on the Saturday night that we stayed. However music did stop at midnight as promised!
A beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting.
Big room, very quiet
easy parking. quiet at night.helpful staff. excellent food. hard bed and not enough pillows
We had a pleasant stay and found the staff extremely helpful which was highlighted because unfortunately we do not speak Spanish and were extremely grateful for their knowledge of our language, English.
Set in the grounds of a Monastery. Access roads to Hotel slightly confusing.Equivalent to our no access unless on business.Side roads have metal posts baring access.
The receptionist was lovely, she also served in the bar and took food orders. Dinner was excellent value and extremely good food Difficult to find from your details given
Meals times earlier would be appreciated.
It was a very good tourist attraction. A small village. Quiet, peaceful, and private.Particularly for church followers interested in the Pilgrim route over the Pyrenees from France to Spain.An excellent Castle free entry for Hotel quests plus other free offers.
In a beautiful tranquil setting overlooking the castle. We had an excellent 5 days there. The food was very good and the staff very efficient, friendly and helpful. I would go there again any time.
Lovely modern hotel set in fantastic contryside on the edge of a facinating old hill village. Any one of these is a reason for visiting. The manager and his wife were very friendly and helpful.
The view was amazing, and the hotel was very close to town, which is quaint. The food at the restaurant could have been better. It wasnt awful, but they have gone to a lot of effort with the table settings, views etc, so the food was a bit of a let down.
The views from the rooms are amazing - ask for one on the 3rd floor. Basic, very few extras - no iron, minibar, etc. but expected for the price.
perfect location, very clean spacious rooms, good parking, easy to find staff seemed surprised by our arrival and were unable to translate the booking.com confirmation that we presented, hotel appeared short staffed and there was no food available
Friendly well ran hotel. Rooms of a decent size and very clean. Nice balcony but unfortunetly since the pics on the website were taken a small housing estate has been built which is what we were looking at.
It was a good location from which to visit Pamplona and the surrounding countryside. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
We were delighted with all aspects of the hotel and restaurant. Staff were fiendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable, and the food in the restaurant was excellent value for money with good service. We definitely recommend this hotel.
Very helpful friendly staff, good location to be based for a birding trip, free wifi, good restaurant, very good breakfast
A fantastic Hotel, Friendly helpful staff, Good value for money, Highly reccommended. None
Very pleasant staff, rooms spacious and very clean, good WIFI connection in room; excellent food quality in restaurant.
Very clean and tody modern hotel with good room facilities. Good location. For travelling None
Very helpful staff in all departments - nothing was too much trouble. Personal attention from everyone and excellent advice on local places of interest. Well presented room - good restaurant - quiet village location.
The helpfulness of management was excellent. Nothing was a problem and information given to assist our stay in the area was great. The hotel is far enough away from Pamplona to be in a peaceful environment.
Everything. A very well-run establishment to be highly recommended.
Quiet atmosphere - great view Difficult to find - very narrow streets
Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Rooms were beautiful and hotel faciliities very nice. Parking and access to the hotel was very, very difficult. Hill town streets were very narrow,. directions to the hotel were poor. in town construction limited egress and access thier small covered parking ssuch that we did not use it on our second day of the stay.
Great location though you need to choose your route to it with care as the town has incredibly narrow roads, some of which are no through - reversing between close walls on steep slopes is not for the faint hearted. The weather was cold and the hotel didn't seem to have any heating on. Our room was freezing. The hotel looks very impressive and is very cutting edge in terms of design and technology. However, it doesn't actually work that well. There were problems with the digital TV box, the stair lighting is movement activated but only comes on when you are on the stairs - a bit dangerous potentially!
Location was excellent, just a few hundred yards from Sos's centre. Lovely view from the bedroom. We stayed out of season (just!) and there appeared to be no breakfast facilities at the hotel, indeed there didn't appear to be a restaurant. When we asked staff they beckoned down the road so may be there's a shared facility?
Modern, clean, comfortable; a few blocks from the old town. Nice views of the surrounding hills (but not of town, alas). Very friendly and helpful young woman at the desk (who was only there periodically, since she had duties at the hotel's bar/restaurant 2 blocks away). Free en suite Wi-Fi didn't work (but it 'sort of' worked in the lobby); couldn't figure out how to work the AC for the life of me.

Magicseaweed states that on monday 8/29 it will be 15.5ft at 6am then 2ft at 10 seconds at 12pm...a drop of 13.5 feet in 6 hours? silly magicseaweed...:p
hahaha that website is so ****ty. here or surfline are usually on point about the waves and swells.
cool, well I'm gonna stand on the beach at 6 am and whine about how it's too big to paddle out and then paddle out at 12 and complain that it's too small.
MSW is a very popular site. It must be spot on in Europe or something because it sure isn't here. They use the same data that other sites develop forecasts with, the swell model is sh*t though. At least for our neck of the woods
Very very silly. I usually use msw for the wind not size or anythingg
yeah, the only reason i ever use that site is to check all the historical swell data... although the data isnt 100% accurate, its pretty close and its cool to compare your beach to all the others in the nation/world to see how much swell other guys get (or dont get) each month etc over a 10 year period.... Some places will shock you!
that site has lots of cool pictures too. thanks to magicseaweed i know what waves look like in a lot of places around the world
Look at Saturday for Southern NC, SC and GA 37 foot on SwellInfo. :)
i think it would make more sense for south beach cause it is on the bottom tip of florida, this having a weird angle as the storm moves rather quickly up the coast. And plus, it looks like the bahamas are blocking most of it.

Last week, for "Thought You Should Know" Thursday, Keystone was the biggest news in climate change and the environment. This Thursday, it still is.
While important scientific studies on climate change have been published, Keystone is stealing the limelight and generating a lot of political heat. Opposing camps are digging in, drawing lines and strategically maneuvering. Whether it deserves all this attention or not , here's the latest on those maneuvers:
"It's got us very freaked out" said Ross Eisenburg, vice president of the National Association of Manufacturers, a Washington-based group that represents 11,000 companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp. and Southern Co.
Why the freak out? Obama may expand upon a Nixon-era law, called NEPA. Originally this law was designed to force government agencies to assess the impact of construction projects on the environment. You know- clean air, clean water, all that good stuff. But now, in updating the law, Obama would require that global warming and carbon emissions be considered before approving major projects. Yup, that would include Keystone XL (here's Keystone 101, if you need it) According to this Nixonian law, even if these projects, like Keystone, are approved by the government, citizens and environmental groups can sue and substantially delay things with lawsuits.
The move produced great glee among team Kill XL folks (the hold your breath and cross your fingers kind) as well as headlines questioning what it all means. The National Review asked "Did Obama Just Block Keystone?" and went on to explain the trick:
Obama can publicly "approve" Keystone, while simultaneously handing the left the tool they need to put the project on semi-permanent hold. Environmentalists would take the political heat, while Obama would get off scot-free. Pretty clever.
Perhaps in response to that move, the House of Representatives introduced a bill…oh and the Senate introduced a bill too…a different one. Both bills include language that attempts to offer congressional approval to the Keystone XL pipeline without Obama's blessing (and before NEPA can be put into effect).
The bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Lee Terry (R-NE) last week, H.R. 3, had this language:
…no presidential permit shall be required for the pipeline described 21 in the application filed on May 4, 2012, by TransCanada 22 Keystone Pipeline
Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA) considers this move more of a "political statement" than anything else- Obama would ultimately have to sign H.R. 3 into law if it successfully passes both the House and Senate. It's hard to image him signing that, unless it's somehow added to must-pass legislation. Long shot.
Meanwhile over in the Senate, John Hoeven, (R-ND) and Max Baucus, (D-MT) introduced a bill last Thursday. Hoeven apparently believes he has enough votes to overturn an Obama veto, should it reach that point.
Then, on Monday, in an alarming press release, 350.org, an organization fighting to kill the pipeline, seemed to have its own freak out.
This week the Senate is expected to vote on measures that would undermine President Obama's authority to review the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) nor Harry Reid's (D-NV) office had any knowledge of a vote in the senate when I spoke with their press offices. The Hoeven bill had just been introduced, so it seemed unlikely they were voting on that so soon. In private emails between 350.org's media campaigner and me, I asked what the senate might be voting on and he responded, "The answer is no one knows." He thought it could be a budget amendment. A source I spoke to yesterday at the Environmental & Public Works committee, which Boxer chairs, said nothing had been filed. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
There will probably be a few more freak outs and a great deal of parsing for Keystone clues before the final fate of Keystone is determined.

WASHINGTON (Feb. 23)
Undersecretary of State W. Averell Harriman left today for Israel on an emergency mission to urge restraint on Israel over the West German arms shipment cancelation. Officials here said the mission did not include any initiation of an American arms supply program for Israel. Mr. Harriman will arrive in Israel tomorrow and will remain there for a few days.
Mr. Harriman left West Palm Beach, Florida, on a military jet, accompanied by Robert Comer of the White House staff. Mr. Comer is an aide to Presidential adviser McGeoge Bundy. President Johnson, described by officials as concerned about West Germany's problems in the wake of both Arab and Israeli reactions to Bonn policies consented quickly to State Department suggestions that Mr. Harriman be dispatched to "calm down" Israel.
The mission is described as at the personal direction of President Johnson. This, it was believed, will strengthen Mr. Harriman's status in meeting with Prime Minister Levi Eshkol and other Israeli leaders, Officials here stressed–in an obvious effort to avoid criticism from Egyptian President Nasser–that Mr. Harriman will not convey any commitment for a United States arms programs to substitute for the canceled West German shipments.
The main purpose of the visit, according to high State Department sources, is to meet urgent West German appeals for United States help to dampen the furor stemming from the disclosure of the Bonn-Jerusalem arms agreement and its abrupt cancelation two weeks ago.
State Department spokesman Robert McCloskey announced today that Mr. Harriman would visit a number of other capitals after his Israel mission. He added that the State Department could not yet specify whether Bonn, Cairo or other capitals are on Mr. Harriman's itinerary. He indicated that the Harriman visit to Israel was linked with West German Ambassador Heinrich Knappstein's request that the State Department intercede with Israel to restore calm.
Ambassador Knappstein made his request for United States intercession with both Israel and the Arab states during a meeting with Secretary of State Dean Rusk, The State Department issued a statement, requested by West Germany, expressing disapproval of informal boycott moves by American businessmen against West German products.

'Lego Movie' Tops Box Office With $69M, 'Monuments Men' Follows With $22M
"The Lego Movie" makes an awesome debut on North American box office. Boasted with positive reviews and a rare A grade from CinemaScore, the Warner Bros. animated movie from Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the director duo of "21 Jump Street" and "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" movie franchises, opens with a solid $69.1 million over the weekend.
The movie has a wide array of A-listers like Will Arnett, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill to voice some of fans' favorite heroes such as Batman, Superman and Green Lantern. They team up to help an ordinary construction worker Emmet (Chris Pratt) who is mistaken for the one destined to save the Lego universe from the evil Lord Business (Will Ferrell).
"Lego Movie" posts the biggest opening of the year so far, and the second largest February opening ever after Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" which debuted to $83.8 million in late February a decade ago. Costing $60 million to produce, the 3D pic adds $18.1 million overseas to rake in a total of an estimated $87.2 million. 60% of the ticket buyers was over 18 years old.
"The Monuments Men", a true-story film from George Clooney, also makes a promising debut over the weekend. Initially set to be released late last year, the flick that follows a team who is on a mission to recover art from the Nazis starts at the second place with $22.7 million against a budget of $70 million. It stars Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, and Cate Blanchett.
Getting a B+ from CinemaScore, the World War II movie marks the biggest debut for a film directed by Clooney after "The Ides of March" which opened at $10.5 million in 2011 and "Leatherheads" which started at $12.7 million in 2008. While "Lego Movie" attracted both adults and children, this film seemed to appeal to older audience with 75% of attendees over 35 years old.
Last week's No. 1 "Ride Along" has to relinquish the throne after holding it for three straight weeks to settle at No. 3 now with additional $9.4 million (21.9% decrease). The Universal cop comedy starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube crossed $100 million mark in domestic total. Hart's comedy "Think Like a Man" collected $91.5 million in 2012.
The third and only biggest debut on the top 10 after "The Lego Movie" and "Monuments Men" is "Vampire Academy" which was adapted from Richelle Mead's young-adult best-selling novel. After its midnight screening gaffe, it could only debut at the seventh place with a mere $4.1 million. Directed by "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls" helmer Mark Waters, it actually gets a B- grade from CinemaScore.

I don't get this test... I don't see an array defined anywhere.... ("defined in the array "product_features"....)
(also: how do you move elements in jQuery from one element to another? I have done lots of things in jQuery, but never have had to move elements from one container to another...)
in the end I didn't have to do this test, because they said the position was filled after they had sent me the test, but I still would like to tackle it...
thank you...
You are expected to create the array, and populate it with strings that would be matched against class names.
That would be with the appendChild method.
so it turns out there is an array there, hadn't seen it..
var product_features = ['draggable','trackable','colorable'];
so I did:
var prod_features = $('.draggable,.trackable,.colorable');
which did exactly what they wanted... but they probably want me to do it using the array.. how would I do this using the array??
also, found something very interesting...
I thought I would have to first remove the elements I need to move to the other div (there is a .remove() method), but it turns out that .append moves them, i.e., it removes elements from where they are, meaning it moves the elements, it doesn't copy them.. that's cool.. (so what if you want to copy them??)
thank you....
If you want to copy elements then use cloneNode to create a copy first and then append the copy.

Milbank highlights Sotomayor's "blink rate"

From Milbank's July 15 column, "Grasping at Nunchucks in the Hearing Room":
One slip of the tongue could doom her otherwise secure appointment -- and the pressure to avoid error was evident in her eyelids. When Leahy asked her to explain her controversial remark about the superior judgment of a wise Latina woman, she blinked no fewer than 247 times during her answer. When Sessions asked her about the same remark, she blinked an additional 146 times. Her overall blink rate appeared to be between 90 and 100 per minute in the morning, calming to about 50 in the afternoon.
