Latest Q&A
Can I get my money back from a pet store who fails to produce paperwork?Q:
I bought an English bulldog puppy in January of 2013 and now 6 months later the store has still not been able to produce the dog's paper work. Countless visits and phone calls and constantly turned away saying "I have to pull it out". Can I demand my $2800 back??A:
A New Jersey regulation on this subject states that: "If the pet dealer has promised to register your animal or to provide the necessary papers and fails to do so within the 120 days following the date of sale, you are entitled to return the animal and receive a full refund of the purchase price plus sales tax or to keep the animal and receive a refund of 75 percent of the purchase price plus sales tax. In the event you elect to keep the animal and the dealer provides the 75 percent refund, the dealer is no longer obligated to register the animal or to provide the necessary papers to do so." For more information, contact the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs, 973-504-6200 or e-mail the division at email@example.com. If neither of these options is satisfactory to you (for example, if you want to keep the animal and get the papers), I suggest you speak with an attorney in your area regarding a lawsuit to require the pet dealer to give you the papers (if the papers even exist). Under the NJ regulations, the pet dealer who agreed to provide the registration papers can also be charged with deceptive practices for failing to provide the papers. Keep in mind that many puppies from pet stores start their lives at puppy mills, large commercial breeding facilities where animals live in squalor.

Josh has written a very kind review of TNC HERE. What he doesn't confess in the blog is that he read much of the book in the bathtub. If his review is a harbinger, then I recommend reading the book while partially submerged (are you listening, TSK?).

Great Way to spend Thanksgiving: Island Princess Cruise Review by lental
Overall Member Rating
Great Way to spend Thanksgiving
Destination: Panama Canal & Central America
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Positives: The food on Island Princess this time was noticably better than on the Alaska trip. The itinerary was very good (Aruba, Cartegena, Colon, Limon and Ocho Rio). Cabin Steward (Eduardo) was outstanding and responsive. Dining room wait staff were incredible though they always been great on all three Princess cruises. In general, all of the ship's company seemed friendlier and more welcoming than on previous trips. The ship is well maintained with no noticable deterioration in the two years since we last sailed on her. Also, there seemed to be a little less sales pressure than on previous Princess trips.
Negatives: Anytime dining seemed totally disorganized with long More waits for a table if you didn't make reservations. The chaos was even worse on formal nights especially immediately following the end of a show in the Princess Theater.
There apparently was a leak from the aft holding tank into the starboard-most aft elevator which had a foul odor most of the trip. Some days it was so bad that it filled the entire elevator lobby.
Package deals for soft drinks and wines were not clearly explained. I took a soft drink package which was promoted at $45.00 though the steward told me it was $47 and would allow unlimited soft drinks. What wasn't explained was there was a 15% add-on for tips and that you were limited to a max of $4.50 per day in one kind of fountain soft drink...not canned soft drinks. There was no mention of a second package which allowed unlimited soft drinks of any kind up to a max of $7.50 a day for $75.00 plus 15%. I only drink cokes so was surprised when my bill showed an item of $80.00+ which sent me scurrying to Passenger Services for an explanation. The very courteous clerk had to go through every bill from the Lido Bar for that day and still couldn't find the original receipt. He also advised that he could take no action but that his supervisor would review the situation and make a decision. I was credited with the difference between the two packages on my final bill so, in the end, it was handled well. Strangely, once they put a little sticker on my ship's card, I could get a coke at any bar and there was no accounting of how many refills I got during the day...so I don't know how they would even know when I exceeded my limit. Friends had similar problems with a wine package.
One final note: On the second and third nights out winds reached full gale of 40+ mph with seas of 7-12 feet, occasionally reaching 20 feet. Island Princess handled the seas as well as the normal 5-7 foot seas we experienced most of time.
Considering the negative reviews we had heard about some of the ports, especially Ocho Rio, we were very pleasantly surprised at the lack of pushy sales attempts by locals in nearly all of the ports. Ocho Rio had some extremely bad reviews but we encountered no problems with locals harrassing us trying to sell trinkets. We did encounter some problems in Cartagena but our tour guide helped us out there.
Port Review for Limon, Costa Rico: Our fourth port was Limon, Costa Rico where we decided to do another tour on our own. This time we had the recommendation of a friend who had been to Limon the previous year. We didn't make reservations but as soon as we left the ship we encountered a barrage of locals hawking tours. We simply told them we were looking for OkeyDokey Tours operated by Charlie Soto and quickly got directions to their stand which was close by.
There were just two of us and after haggling a bit we got what we thought was a fair price which we agreed on. We were led to a very clean air six-passenger air conditioned van by our guide, Carlos Valladares (email@example.com) and our driver, Jose.
The per person price was about $30 less than we would have paid on the ship and the value was outstanding. It included a trip to a scenic garden where we could hear Howling monkeys roaring in the nearby rain forest; a roadside stop where we handled and photographed a sloth; several roadside stops to look at monkeys; a visit to a banana plantation; a river boat tour to view wildlife and a trip to a beach which we declined because of the weather.
Carlos spoke excellent english and talked non-stop about the culture and the sights we were seeing. We were fascinated with the operation of the banana plantation where the banana stalks were ziplined from the field to the plant. We got to watch the entire process from tree to shipping by truck to a waiting ship in the nearby harbor.
Carlos and Jose dropped us off at a boat operated by Alden whose english was extremely precise and much better than mine. The first thing I noticed about Alden was his extremely sharp eyes. He could see camoflaged birds, secretive sloths hidden in the trees and small but rare lizards in the woods and brush along the river. Once he spotted something, he would then maneuver the boat to make sure I got a good shot with my camera. We spent an hour on the river and I took more than 100 pictures of the birds and wildlife. The only negative was that it rained thoughout most of the trip. Though there was a top on the boat the wind was blown inside. Alden supplied us with heavy plastic ponchos so we stayed pretty dry.
We bypassed the beach to return to the ship to get a hot shower and warm up. The temperature never rose above 76 while we were there and with the dampness and walking we were pretty tired, but it was a good tired after an excellent tour.
OkeyDokey tours has a website at www.okeydokeytours.com.
The one thing that surprised me about Limon was its low standard of living. I had understood that Costa Rico had one of the highest educational levels and standards of living in Central America but it was obvious that poverty is similar to other Caribbean countries. Carlos also made it clear how important tourism and the cruise industry is to Costa Rico to improve the country's standard of living.
This was an outstanding stop and possibly worth considering for a future cruise. Less

Just out of curiousity, how would folks feel if you could "borrow" the professions of other folks in your party? Would you, as a jewelcrafter, have a problem with a miner mining ore in an instance and being able to immediately prospect it, courtesy of your JC skill? How about having a herbalist be able to borrow your inscription skill and get pigments/ink from it after herbing an item? What about anyone in the group having the ability to turn cloth into bolts using a tailor's skillset?
I'm not claiming a position either way, but I'm curious how y'all feel about that. Those seem like a very similar scenario to the D/E option; you have the existing system in place, except your greeded item can now borrow an enchanter's skill without their consent...

They are actually EXTREMELY different from the DE option.
A. Mining and Prospecting
Prospecting's purpose is to increase the amount of gems in the market, so as to keep prices lower. If it did not exist, the price for an uncut gem would be immense, and the cut version ridiculously so. Prospecting ore itself is not a lucrative business (and you need a high level enchanter and alchemist to even make a decent return from it reliably). 20 Saronite can easily come out to be worth less post Prospecting.
Furthermore, gems are already available outside of Prosp. If you mine a Saronite node in an instance, you can get any gem that Prospecting the ore can give you. The latter sacrifices the ore for a guaranteed gem, yes. But the fact remains that the gems are readably available without the profession, even if much more annoying to obtain. Prosp. is meant to supply the JC with gems to use their crafting profession, not to be used as the primary skill.
Most importantly, unless the JC has quite a bit of money flowing in from another source, they NEED to take the Mining sub skill. So, if you are in an instance with another miner, you are already rolling (or letting them have the node) for whoever has the right to it. That miner could just as easily have said "Hey, how about you mine it and we roll for the gems?"
But here we come to the biggest road block--Prospecting requires 5 ore. It isn't a "per item" system like enchanting is. Do you just not have the option if you mine 4 ore? That means anything but a pure node won't offer the possibility. Do you let them prospect lower amounts of ore? Then that is giving an ADVANTAGE to non-JCers in regards to prospecting. You get to do it for smaller amounts than I do.
Also important is the fact that this is a privilege being given ONLY to the miner, where DE is a group option. So now you are giving one specific person the subskill from another profession without them having to take it (when the JC in question DOES need to take mining). But, the only way to make it fair would be for groups to roll on any ore and gems that are mined. But the whole point of that profession is to harvest items, which means you are completely breaking it in a group. And I'd love to see the Miner's reaction when they lose the roll on a TTS node to a non-miner in a Chillmaw group.
2. Herbalism is similar but still different.
A. Inscription is able to produce good glyphs at many skill levels, from a variety of herbs. And many of these glyphs will be used at cap. So prices don't soar like Enchanting prices did, when only top-level gear gives the mats you need.
B. Like Prospecting, it requires a gathering profession. If I want to make pigments, I either have to buy herbs or use a second profession to get the mats in order to make them. That means I cannot take up a second profession unless I have income from another source.
C. Like Prospecting, we have the same problem of it requiring 5 herbs and only being specific to one additional person. Except we have an even bigger problem. I believe herbs cap at 3. So either we just don't offer it for herbalism, or you have to open up the herb rolls to the group. Which, again, destroys the purpose of the profession.
D. Why would you want the pigments instead? They sell super slowly. And the glyphs aren't expensive to begin with.
So, when it comes down to it, if we open up the group-loot option on Milling and Prospecting, we'd still get a huge imbalance in favor of Enchanting. Enchanting doesn't rely on a second profession to produce mats like the others do. Furthermore, they DO regularly get mats for the sub skill where the others do not. Unlike Prospecting, they are the sole source for the mats. Unlike both, they only take one item to use. Unlike Milling, they produce items that are expensive and fast selling.
Really, enchanting was very imbalanced. And it still is, just not as badly as before.
Look at it like this:
Before now, I could get gems in a variety of ways not using players, and just pay the JC to cut it. I can buy them with emblems, with honor buy an Icy Prism CD, or get some from Obyxia. And that's just if I DIDN'T have mining.
With Inscription, I couldn't get Pigments on my own, no. But because it wasn't a huge profit and time difference to mill, it wasn't hard (if you wanted to) to bring them the herbs and have them mill it for mats (usually keeping the remainder). Because none of the items were BoP, and the profit margin was lower to begin with.
Enchanters, on the other hand, used mats that were only obtainable from the AH or from Purple items you could trade them for in a short window of time. This meant that you needed to receive the item whilst with one in your group, and have them be willing to DE it. You couldn't buy the raw materials and have them DE it.
Well, you could, but it was ludicrously more expensive to do so (the price of BoE purples is generally astronomical compared to an Abyss Crystal. And they are few in number).
That meant that Enchanters *completely* owned the mat market, which wasn't the case with the other two.

By Josh Dubow, AP Sports Writer
ALAMEDA, Calif. Colin Branch believes his biggest strength as an NFL safety is his versatility.
He's comfortable playing strong or free safety, in coverage or against the run, and can contribute on special teams. It's those qualities that attracted the Oakland Raiders to Branch.
After signing him as a free agent last week, Branch joined the Raiders on Monday for the start of their voluntary minicamp.
"I'm a veteran guy, been around, been on a winning program out there at Carolina. Hopefully I can bring a little bit of that here," Branch said. "Hopefully I can be a versatile guy who can do a lot of different things for them, which seems to be what they're asking me to do. Hopefully it'll open up my horizons a little bit and hopefully show people I can do more than just one thing."
That versatility is especially important for the Raiders, who are keeping their safeties on the same side of the field instead of switching from strong to weak side.
Branch is currently competing for playing time behind starters Michael Huff and Stuart Schweigert in a secondary that was one of the few bright spots for Oakland last season.
"Obviously last year, they had a great season as far as the total defense and their pass defense is one of the best in the NFL, so it's a great situation to come into," Branch said. "There's lots of veteran leadership out there in the defensive backfield, so it makes it a lot easier for me to come in and contribute."
Branch came into the NFL as a fourth-round pick by Carolina out of Stanford in 2003. His best season came in 2004, when he had 55 tackles and three interceptions while making 15 starts for the Panthers.
He missed all of the following season with a knee injury, before making 19 tackles in one interception in limited duty last season. He made four starts, but played mostly on special teams and in nickel situations.
"He's a guy who can do some things and has played as well," coach Lane Kiffin said. "He played some special teams, started a whole season at Carolina prior to an injury and started some games last year as well. It brings a veteran guy who has played back there to our group to see if he can help us."
Branch, whose brother Calvin is a scout for the Raiders, first visited the team after the draft in April, working out and meeting with the coaching staff. He also visited Cincinnati, Kansas City and Atlanta before getting the offer to sign with the Raiders.

The BeBook Club S is a usable reader, let down by a chunky case and a lack of networking capabilities. Here is our review.
The BeBook Club S is cheaper than its touchscreen-equipped sibling (the Neo), but in many ways it's a superior reader.
For a start, it has a full 2GB of internal memory - enough to hold a decent library. It can be expanded further, thanks to a full-sized SD card slot.
The screen is better, too. A 600 x 800 E Ink Pearl panel gives good clarity and contrast, and redraw rates aren't bad: the Club S doesn't refresh quite as quickly as the latest Kindle or even the Sony Reader Wi-Fi, but it doesn't feel as laggardly as the Neo. Things are helped along by a faster processor - an 800MHz Marvell CPU.
The Club S uses the same software as the Neo, so our gripes about the interface apply here too - more responsive hardware helps, but navigating around the options and settings is tiresome. And since there's no touchscreen, you're left using the little directional pad to step around the menus.
On the bright side, most of your time with the Club S will be spent reading, and this is a fairly pleasant experience. This isn't only down to the screen, but also to the sensibly-located page-turn buttons, which fall naturally under your thumbs. You have plenty of choice when it comes to file formats, with support for the same broad range of formats as the Neo - including reflowable PDF, HTML, DOC and RTF, as well as a range of image formats. You can even play MP3 and WAV files through a 3.5mm headphone socket at the bottom.
Battery life is quoted at an impressive 20,000 page turns; but that's probably helped by the fact that the Club S lacks any sort of networking, which means you must obtain your media via a computer and transfer it manually to the reader. Even the cheaper Kindle and Kobo devices aren't limited this way. And the omission doesn't make the device any smaller or lighter: it's just as bulky as the Neo and, at 278g, almost as heavy.
Although the Club S is a perfectly usable reader - much more so than the Neo - these shortcomings set it a rung below the best of the competition.

tranism's recommendation
If you like the whimsical look of a traditional cuckoo clock but prefer a more modern twist, this one from the moma store is great.
uurk's recommendation
I've been running into so many people who tell of their admiration for cuckoo clocks and the same goes for me. This sleek, black clock was designed in 2006 (described on the MoMA store sight as Black Forest Black). Being a cuckoo clock it already has within an Old World charm but this piece has a touch of modern flare while keeping with the traditional chains and metal weights.

Simple but effective, this large, dark and sometimes lively bar on a quiet Marylebone street provides quality sustenance to diner and drinker alike.
The Temperance's lunchtime menu, which changes daily, moves beyond gastropub clichés to take in the likes of black-eyed pea, chickpea and aubergine stew; after 5pm, it's Brit-style tapas along the lines of mini chipolatas and whitebait with tartare sauce, as well as an appetising cheeseboard.
Beer drinkers will find San Miguel, Sharp's Doom Bar, Ringwood and Beck's Vier on the bar, plus bottles of Moretti and Corona behind it, while some 15 wines come by the glass. There's also a dining room upstairs, and pavement seating for smokers.

We came in on a Friday night for after work drinks, what a great pub!! The staff were really friendly, there was good music and a great atmosphere!! We had yummy mini sausages and home made hummus from the starters menu and they went down a treat with all our drinks!! We will back more regularly!!
came here the other week for a friend's leaving do and had a great time. The drinks were good and the staff were excellent, I agree with 'ellen' below, they really made time to cater for us despite having other things to do. Thanks for a fantastic night guys, we will difinitely be back
Myself and a few friends came to the Temperance on a thursday night, wanting an evening meal and a few drinks to celebrate a birthday. We ended up staying for most of the night because we enjoyed the atmosphere so much! Great food and reasonably priced, great selection of wine and the staff were lovely. It was clearly a busy night but they really made time to cater to our needs with excellent table service, which is rare in pubs these days. All the staff were great fun. Will definitely be returning! Would recommend it to anyone wanting to celebrate an occasion, or just if you fancy a drink after work with friends.
We've been looking for a decent bar to frequent after work. This bar should have ticked all the boxes. I say should have.... Decent location, decent music, decent set up. Lots of spare tables for us to sit round, what more could you want for an after work beer... Well, how about friendly staff and a welcoming attitude? I now know why there were lots of spare tables... Appalling service, made worse by the attitude of the manager. Ok, so she may have only been a bar manager that wanted an early night, but ushering people out of the bar at 10.15pm, locking doors and putting the chairs on the tables, a full 45 minutes before last orders, why?! Even if you don't want more custom, surely look after the custom you already have? I'm not sure why they would shoot themselves in the foot so badly. The bar has potential, but its clearly obvious why it's empty on Friday night. Even the few that managed to get served had all left by 9.30 when the chairs were removed. Such a shame as this area really needs a stand out bar, and the temperance clearly isn't willing to fill that void. Look elsewhere, at least then you might be able to enjoy your beer for the whole night.

After reading about XLB in Vancouver, I have to ask if anyone knows where I can get some in Victoria.
Any recommendations?
I read every Chinese restaurant menu in the Victoria phone book, as well as some fusion ones, and I can't find it on any menu. So maybe it doesn't exist here...
I don't think I ate them in China (although I could merely have been ignorant of what they are, since I just figured it out today), so I won't be spoiled the way I am with Dan Dan Mian. (i.e. won't have a preconceived notion of what it should be only to be disappointed by the inauthentic knock-off.)

Special to the Daily Herald
The National Day of Prayer was officially established as an annual observance in 1952 by Congress, and was signed into law by President Harry Truman.
This law was amended in 1988 under President Ronald Reagan's administration designating the first Thursday in May each year as an official National Day of Prayer.
Year by year since then, millions of people have gathered in a variety of public and private venues for prayer and worship on the first Thursday in May.
It is estimated that more than 2 million people attended some 50,000 prayer events last year in observance of the National Day of Prayer.
Throughout the nation, at state capitols, county court houses, city halls, and in schools, businesses, churches and homes, people stopped their activities and gathered for prayer.
Thursday will be the 59th official observance of The National Day of Prayer, and several prayer-related events are scheduled around the Central Texas area, including a regional program Thursday night at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton.
It will be a day for Americans of all religious traditions to set aside differences and pray - acknowledging dependence upon God, thanking Him for His love and mercy, and inviting His continued intervention in their lives and in the affairs of the nation.
The theme for this year's Day of Prayer is "For such a time as this," reminding us that we are living in a crucial time in history.
The chosen scripture passage for this year is Nahum 1:7, "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him."
There are seven suggested areas of focus for prayer: the family, the church, the government, the media, the education system, the military and the business community.
Prayer is first and foremost a personal matter, and people are encouraged to take time to pray alone as their beliefs direct, and as their circumstances permit - at home, during a break at work or school, etc.
Many people also desire to pray in agreement with others in small or large groups.
A variety of opportunities will be available in the Killeen area throughout the day at various times and locations.

McIntosh County
McIntosh County includes the communities of Cox, Crescent, Darien, Eulonia, Pine Harbour, Ridgeville, Shellman Bluff, South Newport, Townsend, and Valona.
McIntosh County was created in 1793 from part of Liberty County. The state's seventeenth county, it was named for the McIntosh clan, who pioneered the area.
McIntosh County is rich in historic sites. Fort King George, the first English fort in Georgia, is in Darien. The area was also home to a late 16th century Franciscan mission, and an American Indian village. Ruins of a Spanish fort and mission are also found on Sapelo Island. St. Cyprians Episcopal Church, established in 1876 by freed slaves, is still in use. And, St. Andrews Episcopal Church, on the National Register of Historic Places, was copied from and English church after the original structure was burned by Union troops in 1863.
Residents of McIntosh County also enjoy Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, Blackbeard Island National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness Area, Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness, and Sapelo Island National Estuarine Sanctuary.
McIntosh County hosts the Annual Blessing of the Fleet in Darien each spring.

A BUSINESSMAN believes a £400,000 makeover of Upton-upon-Severn town centre will bring nothing but "misery and disruption".
After its start was delayed by the recent snow, Worcestershire County Council has now begun work to improve road surfaces, pavements and crossing points in High Street, Lower High Street and Old Street.
It says this will boost the local economy by making the town centre safer and more attractive for residents and visitors alike.
But Peter Lynch Williams, director of air charter supply business Flaps International, based in Tunnel Hill, has slammed the scheme, describing it as "the sack of Upton". He said road closures and disruptions in the coming weeks would be "calamitous" and questioned whether "beleaguered citizens of Upton" would see any benefits.
"Have these people no concept of the real financial difficulties facing businesses in the town, many of whom stand at the very cliff edge of calamity?" he said.
"While as residents we are only too pleased to accept government largesse in the form of the new and excellent flood barrier, who in their right mind thought it would be a good idea to once more assume the role of 'business prevention czar'?"
Mr Lynch Williams said he did not believe there had been adequate public consultation and that time and money would have been better spent raising the flood-prone Hanley Road and imposing a 7.5-tonne weight limit on the main street through the town.
But a county council spokesman said the scheme was only agreed after detailed discussions with traders, the town council and Upton Tourism and Trade Association (UTTA).
"Plans for the final scheme, which included several changes identified by these key groups, were available to view at the town hall and library from July 11 to August 24 and comments invited. The scheme was modified further, where appropriate, to reflect the views of local people," he said.
Traders had been consulted on when best to carry out the work and that great care had been taken to limit any full closures of the High Street to Sundays only.
"This investment in the area is being made to enhance the local economy, improve safety and open up access to the town centre as well as generally improving the environment," he said. Annette Keyworth, chairman of UTTA, said the project was very welcome and would be a "real asset" for the town.

Cheney Blames Tenet For Creating The Iraq-9/11 Link
How can that be? I thought, "The Bush administration put relentless pressure on interrogators to use harsh methods on detainees in part to find evidence of cooperation between al Qaida and the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's regime." Tenet once said that he would not be the "Fall Guy." Maybe now would be a good time for him to nail Cheney to the wall. - Jon Gold
– Ed.
Waterboarding was 'well done,' Cheney says
Source: rawstory.com
On Iraq and 9/11: 'That's not something I made up'
Former Vice President Dick Cheney is usually very careful at choosing his words.
Perhaps not so today. In a speech Monday at the National Press Club, continuing along familiar themes of terrorism, Guantanamo and his hatred for The New York Times, Cheney spoke defensively of the administration's practice of water-boarding detainees.
"I don't believe we tortured," Cheney remarked, noting that the interrogation techniques approved by the Bush administration were vetted by White House lawyers. They didn't cross a "red line," he said.
And then he delivered the whopper: "There were three people who were water-boarded.... It was well-done."
The former vice president also made an odd comment about detainees being held at Guantanamo Bay.
He framed their detention as a choice between two options: either we imprison them, or we kill them.
"We need Guantanamo... If we didn't have it, we'd need to (invent) it," Cheney remarked. "If you don't have a place to hold these people, the only other option is to kill them."
"We don't operate that way," he added.
Cheney's comments were transcribed by The Swamp, the blog of the Chicago Tribune.
"If I had it to do all over again, I would do exactly the same thing," he continued. "I don't have much tolerance or patience for those who have the benefit of hindsight eight years later and have forgotten what happened on 9/11.... Just imagine, what would happen if you had 19 men in one of our cities... armed with a nuclear weapon or (a biological weapon)."
He also laid it thick on The New York Times:
"We found ourselves in a situation where The New York Times received a leak - we called them into the Oval Office," Cheney said. "The publisher, the editor and the Washington Bureau chief... all came down to the Oval Office and talked to the president," where they were told that writing about the program would let terrorists know the U.S. is reading their mail and would break some laws.) "They went ahead and they published it anyway, and their award for doing it was they won the Pulitzer."And about Iraq and 9/11: "That's not something I made up."
"The prime source of information on the relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda was George Tenet," the former CIA director, Cheney said. "There was a relationship between al Qaeda and Iraq that stretched back 10 years. That's not something I made up... That's something the director of the CIA was telling us.
He added: "We know that he was making $25,000 payments to the families of suicide bombers... We know there were other terrorists... who had found safe harbor in Iraq over the years. I do not believe, and I have never seen any evidence to confirm, that he was involved in 9/11... But the fact of Saddam Hussein being a terrorist-sponsoring state... was, I think, a fact."
What he didn't say was that the Times held their story about the Administration's warrantless wiretapping program for a year after they first had it — which meant the story stayed out of the news in 2004, when Cheney and President Bush were running for reelection.

A grown man learns to love the prequels
From Slate.com. It's a good read, but I'm not buying it. From the article:
George Lucas first disappointed Star Wars fans in 1999, when, giving in to demand, he produced the first of three prequels (Episodes I-III). Though successful at the box office and in terms of merchandising, the films were widely panned by adult fans on any number of grounds (from the quality of acting, to weak and possibly racist characters, to the use of CGI rather than the crude but beloved methods of animation available 20 or so years earlier).
I was one such critic. Born in 1977, the year Star Wars was released, I grew up on the original films and adored pretty much everything about the franchise. I (somehow) convinced my then-girlfriend (now wife) to see Episode I: The Phantom Menace the day it opened. I was appalled. Jar Jar Binks, a major character in the film, was embarrassingly silly and uncomfortably servile. The conflict underlying the film was a byzantine trade dispute that to this day I do not fully understand. The computer-generated animation of characters such as Watto (a small, flying creature with a tight fist and a vaguely Semitic nose) was not at all realistic, and the live-action actors sharing the screen with him looked every bit as though they were conversing with a character to be inserted later. I was so disgusted with Episode I that I didn't bother to see Episodes II and III in the theater. I was in solidarity with my peers—Episodes I-III should never have been made.These movies are for children. Let me say that one more time: They are children's movies, like Wreck It Ralph or Madagascar or Alvin and the Chipmunks. And George Lucas, to his great credit, speaks as well to children today as he did in the '70s and '80s. In fact, it is possible that he has gotten better
Then, in January 2008, my son was born. Though I had been put off by the prequels, my love of the original trilogy still burned bright, and I was eager to introduce my son to Luke, Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Vader. By the age of 4 he had seen the original trilogy—the only trilogy that mattered—so many times that he longed for more. I reluctantly allowed him to watch Episodes I-III, and was surprised to discover that he liked them just as much as Episodes IV-VI, if not more so. As we further expanded our Star Wars Universe to include the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie (2008) and the animated TV series of the same name (currently airing on the Cartoon Network), it finally dawned on me that as a thirtysomething veteran of the original trilogy, I was no longer a member George Lucas' target audience.

Four of the UK's 20 worst hotspots for uninsured drivers are in Bradford, new figures have revealed.
The BD9 post-code area ranks third worst with more than six times the national average of uninsured drivers, and BD8 is fifth in the table, the Motor Insurers' Bureau has revealed.
But the figures represent an improvement for Bradford, with BD3 at number 11, having fallen six places from fifth position.
Great Horton has dropped from seventh to 19th in the table and West Bowling and Bankfoot no longer appear in the top 20.
West Yorkshire Police said a total of 1,790 vehicles were seized in Bradford for having no insurance between June 2011 and May 2012.
Inspector Dorian James, of the Western Area Roads Policing Unit, said: "We have taken some big strides in addressing the problem and we are really beginning to see the fruits of our labour.
"This is thanks to dedicated operations and close partnership working.
"For instance, Operation Northolt has been introduced across the force which provides a highly public demonstration of our multi-agency approach.
"This runs once a month and concentrates on uninsured driving hotspots across the county.
"Action days have already been conducted across the Bradford district including Manningham , Girlington , Frizinghall , Heaton , Barkerend , Keighley centre and Great Horton.
"We are not complacent, however; and we are acutely aware that there is more work to be done in areas like Manningham, Girlington, Frizinghall and Heaton."
Bradford East MP David Ward, who has campaigned for affordable car insurance, hailed the "intense pressure" being put on uninsured drivers by police, and partnership working between insurers and the DVLA.
"What's happening is beginning to work," he said.
"We need to make sure bit by bit we put the pressure on everyone in the system to bring the premiums down, and that will be the next stage."
Ashton West, chief executive at the MIB, said: "When you talk to people, it's clear they have little tolerance for the uninsured motorist and want to see more being done.
"Overall the signs are promising, particularly when police enforcement and awareness is combined with the recently introduced scheme for continuous insurance."
New research carried out on behalf of the MIB in West Yorkshire and the West Midlands has found a third of people do not understand the laws on car insurance.
Mr West said the bureau was working with police and community leaders to engage people and improve their awareness of the law and consequences of driving uninsured.

Raekwon Addresses Creative Differences With RZA, 'On Strike' From Wu-Tang Clan
While Wu-Tang Clan has been working towards the release of 'A Better Tomorrow,' the group's first album since 2007's '8 Diagrams,' Raekwon has strong reservations regarding its release and being a member of the rap collective as a whole.
It's no secret that there has been some issues between Raekwon and fellow Wu-Tang member RZA. Last year, he claimed that Raekwon wasn't necessarily pulling his weight during the recording process of the new LP. RZA also called him out for focusing more on the business side of things instead of the music.
Now Raekwon has finally spoken out about the rift between himself and his Wu-Tang brother.
"…We are at creative differences because at the end of the day, I want to win," Raekwon tells Rolling Stone. "I'm used to being a winner. Being that I feel the team is being compromised by his so-called 'logic' of making music, I have a problem with that because I love my fans. I would never want to give my fans anything other than the best. So when we're sitting there discussing the creative process of making a great album for the fans, I'm not going to never settle for less. I'm not the only one [in the group] that feels this way too."
"This s— is not right," he continues. "It's not making us give the fans the best that we can give them. So of course we have a problem with that. It's like coming out with some music that you're not feeling."
And unlike RZA, who's been focused on other ventures like acting and his chess tournament, Raekwon has sights set on his solo career. His new album, 'Fly International Luxurious Art,' is set to release next month. Based off that LP title alone, it's understable why the Chef has such strong criticisms toward the new Wu-Tang track, 'Keep Watch.'
"I hate it. I hate it. I don't hate s—, but I hate that f—in' record," he admits. "It ain't the gunpowder that my brother is spitting; it's the production. And I ain't s—-ing on the producer because he's one of our soldiers. But if it ain't where it need to be… It's 20 years later. We talkin 'bout a whole new generation is sitting here representin' and making fiery s— and you telling me that we comin' out with some mediocre s—? That ain't part of our plan."
As candid as Raekwon is in the Rolling Stone interview, he makes sure to say that he doesn't hate RZA — they're just on different pages — and he's solely speaking for himself, not the rest of the group. However, until these issues are resolved, Raekwon is on a bit of a strike.
"…I'm in a limbo situation," he shares. "So yeah, you're right. I am on strike. It ain't the fact that I don't want to be there. Because of course I want to be there. But if we're there, we gotta do the best everything. We gotta work 10 times harder, because that's what I'm signing in for. I'm not about listening to somebody that's not an artist telling me what the f— they think is hot."

Alasdair MacAIntyre makes a very interesting point in an essay entitled "Is a Science of Comparative Politics Possible?" He cites a paper that contends that Italians "are less committed to and identified with the actions of their government than are Germans or Englishmen..." The evidence the authors present is survey answers as to how much "pride" the respondents have in the actions of their governments... to which the answer, it seems, is much less for Italians.
But, as MacIntyre notes, the words for "pride," although somewhat translatable, just do not mean the same things to Italians, Germans, and Englishmen. In particular, Italians are most fiercely proud of things that it would not even occur to the other folks to be proud of.
I think "happiness" surveys are largely worthless for the same reason -- happiness just does not mean the same thing across cultures. If you doubt this, think of what an ancient Greek would say about happiness -- "One does not know if a man was happy until he is dead."

Eager Chelsea get on fast track to an early finish

Alonso to score Chelsea's second goal in their 4-1 defeat of
Photo: Getty Images
Chelsea are an arrogant team with much to be arrogant about. William Gallas's forecast that they would have the championship wrapped up in January might appear to be erring on the side of caution. Should Chelsea produce the kind of exhibition against Manchester United at Old Trafford next month that they did at Anfield on Sunday, the title might be decided on Sunday, November 6.
Rampant Chelsea taught Liverpool a lesson, thrashing the European champions 4-1 to charge nine points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Goals by Frank Lampard, Damien Duff, Joe Cole and Geremi gave the English champions their eighth win out of eight in the league.
When Steven Gerrard ran towards the Anfield Road end, fists pumping after he had dragged Liverpool level, Chelsea must have prepared for an ordeal by fire. They responded with two beautifully fashioned goals, inspired by two individual pieces of skill from Didier Drogba, whose selection for this match would have been at best marginal. The chant of "That's why we're champions" would have stung because it was so achingly true.
During last Wednesday night's Champions League stalemate, you wondered why Jose Mourinho thought Drogba a more effective weapon against Liverpool than Hernan Crespo, who had tormented them in the European Cup final for AC Milan. On Sunday, we learned why.
"Three days ago, we were frustrated because we knew we could do better," Mourinho said.
Mourinho, who worked at the Nou Camp as assistant to both Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal, had been stung by the criticisms of Johan Cruyff - a figure of enormous standing in Barcelona - that Chelsea lacked class on and off the pitch.
"Eight games, eight victories, 18 goals," Mourinho said. "It is time to respect Chelsea Football Club and my players."
Before the match had begun, Mourinho had declared that if Liverpool failed to win they were finished as championship contenders, although it is hard to believe that deep down that is what Rafael Benitez thought his team was. Liverpool are 17 points behind Chelsea. Asked about Chelsea's lead at the top of the table, Mourinho smiled. "It gives us permission to make a mistake but not to fall asleep," he said.
Also on Sunday, Arsenal needed a late, deflected shot by Robin van Persie to secure a 1-0 win over 10-man Birmingham at Highbury. They still trail Chelsea by 11 points. Everton remain bottom after a 2-0 loss at Manchester City, Aston Villa lost 3-2 at home to Middlesbrough and Wigan beat visiting Bolton Wanderers 2-1.

Where to begin is always a challenge when recounting the incredible story of my son Aiden's journey from a hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) diagnosis to a healthy, energetic, chunky 9-month-old. I suppose the best place to start is at the beginning.
I was 20-weeks pregnant, attending what I thought to be a routine doctor's appointment. Like all expectant mothers, I hoped to have an easy pregnancy full of laughter, weird cravings and endless nights of picking out baby names. Assuming that the appointment would be nothing short of predictable, I assured my husband, Jeremy, that there was no need to take off work to accompany me. However, this one appointment delivered news that changed my normal pregnancy into one with more uncertainty for the future than for the name of my unborn child.
Sitting in the examination room was a blur. All I could hear were the words "kidneys" and "hypoplastic". When I finally got a hold of my husband, he immediately assumed that the ultrasound machine must not have been "good enough," that machines "make mistakes" and get "bad reads." While I felt heartbroken, my baby appeared to have an actual broken heart, one that even the best parenting can't mend.
Our doctor sent us to Houston Perinatal Associates, whose big, fancy machines confirmed what our regular OB/GYN had already told us. Our son had HLHS. We were then referred to Texas Children's Hospital where we met fetal cardiologist, Dr. Nancy Ayres. After what seemed like a never-ending ultrasound, Dr. Ayres told us that our son's case was severe enough to consider a fetal heart procedure that had never been performed at Texas Children's Hospital before. She reassured us that they had been preparing to do this procedure for a while now by building an amazing facility and training with doctors in Boston who were well practiced in the procedure. We knew that without this procedure there was a good chance that our baby may not survive, so we decided to give our son the best chance at life and proceed with the in-utero procedure.
After that, it all happened so fast. The procedure had to be done by the 28th week of pregnancy; I was already at 22 weeks. Just one day shy of 28 weeks, I successfully underwent the fetal procedure. We had survived both emotionally and physically, and were becoming more and more excited to meet our miracle child.
I returned to Houston at 37 weeks with plans to deliver at the Pavilion for Women in the coming weeks. We scheduled a C-section a day or two before I would reach 39 weeks of pregnancy but Aiden had his own plan. The nurse checked my blood pressure when I arrived to the hospital, exclaiming that it was through the roof. Before I knew it, I was on the phone with my husband telling him to get to Houston as fast as he could because our son was on his way!
Our beautiful baby boy was born on Wednesday, May 30, 2012 at 4:46 PM, weighing six pounds and six ounces and 19.68 inches long. We were amazed at how incredibly blessed we had been. Although Aiden had to undergo three surgeries after he was born, the fetal procedure seemed to do exactly what it needed to. He made such great progress that he was able to move out of Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) after three short months. A week after, the impossible happened when we were finally able to take Aiden home for the very first time!
It's been a long journey, but I am happy to say that for the first time in Aiden's life, he has spent more time outside of the hospital than inside. We owe it all to the wonderful care of our doctors and nurses. I would never lie and say that it has been easy, but I wouldn't change a thing because at the end of it all, we have our precious son. Aiden is living proof that joy can come from even the most difficult hardships, and I feel blessed everyday to be his mom.

A storm named 'Hurricane Hazel' came inland and caused a great deal of flooding in southern Ontario.
It was about a mile from Southampton, flooding had washed away the roadbed causing the train to derail, and the engine to roll over on its right side.
The engineer Gordon McCallum, and his fireman Stewart Nicholson died from the results of this wreck.
The bell off Engine 1319 is on display in the Southampton Museum.
I have written this song in memory of that night, and the two railroad colleagues that I knew and worked with at Palmerston in 1947.
The song goes like this:
The Night Train for Southampton
(1) The Night Train for Southampton
The wind and the rain
(2) The engineer looked at his watch,
The conductor gave the signal
(3) The headlight on the engine
With hands on the throttle,
(4) Now the lights of Southampton
With one more mile to go,
(5) Now the Night Train for Southampton
The hot steam from the boiler
(6) With one more mile to go
And the wind and the rain
Words and music by PETER C. BART (1926-2000). Song Written on April 16, 1992

The Liberal Democratic Party has drawn up a legislative outline to investigate people who own land related to defense facilities or on remote islands near Japan's borders, officials said.
The ruling party plans to submit the legislation as a lawmaker-initiated bill when the Diet reopens next month, the officials said Thursday.
The LDP initially considered restricting foreign ownership of such land, but decided to launch field surveys first because such regulations could violate World Trade Organization rules, informed sources said.
The legislation is expected to allow administrative organizations to check ownership of land near important facilities, such as Self-Defense Forces bases and nuclear power plants.
If actual ownership is found to be different from the registered ownership, authorities would likely be allowed to order inspections and corrective measures, the sources said.

Jamie Aten, a psychology professor and head of the Humanitarian Disaster Applied Research Lab at Wheaton College, has studied how Christians cope with trauma after disaster, war, or a large conflict. He told Christianity Today that having a survivor verbally recount the traumatic event can help him heal emotionally and spiritually because it gives him a sense of control over the experience.

I know that my m0n0 deals with bit torrent traffic. No other P2P traffic
gets in or out though. My m0n0 is constantly blocking traffic from P2P
networks, even if it is supposed to be coming in. I never quite figured
out why but the network runs ok and speed/performance has never suffered
from it so I have left it be. I am using NAT, but I was using NAT at my
old house as well so that shouldn't be the problem I wouldn't think.

Same here, allthough Aaron has changed his hardware an awfull lot, more
than me, I'm also convinced it's not a hardware problem.
The last time I rebooted the firewall at work, I disabled access to
anything other then a few ports for business related stuph. I believe
it's indeed related to weird traffic. I also found that just before the
m0n0wall, which is connected to the internet, crashed, the GNUTELLA P2P
traffic just boomed. There were a LOT of packets dropped on the m0n0wall
that does NAT, just before it crashed. All related to port 6346.
I now block that traffic and other than my collegues panic-rebooting the
thing because of a provider issue, it has been up since. I block the
traffic on another box though. I mentioned earlier it had crashed after
I put the new rules in effect (or was this an e-mail to aaron, I do not
remember) but I forgot to press the APPLY button.... (grr).
Just a wild guess, I've got nothing else but my gut feeling on this one.
NAT and Gnutella/Limewire causing the problems? Can anyone confirm this
You do not need to block the traffic, just look in your logs for an
awful lot of drop with dest. port 6346 and/or src. port 6346.
Also see:
It might be the software called Limewire that causes this problem.
People using it at home (connected via the crashing m0n0wall) told me it
was popular because the rest (edonkey/overnet etc etc.) do not handle
NAT very well.

Federal Environment Minister
The approvals came after The Sydney Morning Herald, the sister publication of The Australian Financial Review, published leaked documents indicating Mr Burke told the NSW government on December 21 that he was inclined to approve both projects.
"Unfortunately the decision of the NSW government to leak commercially sensitive information has caused me to bring these decisions forward today with the remaining work to be resolved directly between the company and myself," Mr Burke said.
"The development of these further conditions will be conducted without reference to the NSW government, which is unfortunate but a decision they have effectively made themselves."
While he welcomed the approvals, NSW Resources Minister
Mr Burke did not clarify what additional work needed to be done before construction could begin at Maules Creek. Whitehaven's latest estimate is that production can begin in mid-2014 depending on the timeliness of the final approvals, which is 18 months behind the original schedule.
Whitehaven managing director
"Notwithstanding the stringent environmental conditions which have been placed on the project and the difficult coal market at present, this is an excellent project and Whitehaven will be seeking to bring it into production as soon as possible," Mr Haggarty said.
CIMB analyst James Stewart said the ongoing delays in final approvals might see Whitehaven's latest development timeline slip slightly, but the certainty on approvals was "definitely positive".
"Maules Creek is a relatively simple open pit operation, with low construction risk," Mr Stewart said.
The approvals were announced after the market closed yesterday but are likely to prove positive for Whitehaven's share price and for the company's largest shareholder,
Maules Creek represents about 40 per cent of analyst valuations of Whitehaven and is expected to produce an average of 10.8 million tones of saleable coal a year.
It is in the Leard State Forest in the Gunnedah Basin in NSW and has faced opposition from locals who have argued land being offered to offset the project's impact is not equivalent.
The project became a high-profile target of activists last month when Jonathan Moylan sent out a fake press release purporting that ANZ Bank had cancelled a $1.2 billion debt facility to fund the development. Whitehaven shares fell by as much as 9 per cent as a result. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission is investigating.
Local farmer Phil Laird, who did not support the development of an open-cut mine at Maules Creek, said he was disappointed by Mr Burke's decision.
"I've had better days," Mr Laird said. "Our contention is we don't believe it is actually possible for them to meet the biodiversity offset requirements in the area. I think we've proven that with our offset report."
He was referring to a 50-page report commissioned by the Maules Creek Community Council (MCCC) and submitted to Mr Burke's department last month which concluded the offsets were inadequate.
Yesterday, the MCCC said the approvals could be challenged on legal grounds and listed its bank details on its website to accept contributions to a "fighting fund".
The Nature Conservation Council of NSW condemned Mr Burke's decision to approve the development of the mine.
"It is unconscionable that a Federal Environment Minister has permitted these important public lands to be destroyed for short-term profit," NCC chief executive Pepe Clarke said. "Our state forests should be managed in perpetuity for the benefit of the people of NSW."

This research details the influence of fertility on plant growth, photosynthesis, ethylene evolution, and herbivore abundance of chyrsanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev var. Charm) inoculated with cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii Glover). We tested five fertilization treatments that consisted of 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, and 100% (375 ppm N) of recommended nitrogen levels. After five weeks, plants were inoculated at five aphids per 6-in. pot containing four rooted cuttings. Plants were grown in growth chambers.
The cotton or melon aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) is a serious economic pest of greenhouse crops such as chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev var. Charm) (2). High densities of cotton aphids can occur throughout the chrysanthemum production cycle because of favorable greenhouse growing environments and the prolific reproduction of aphids. Chrysanthemum cultivars differ in susceptibility to aphids (1). The greenhouse environment and cultural conditions contribute to host-plant resistance or susceptibility (6).
Fertilizers used in nursery - greenhouse industries are an important source of essential elements for both chrysanthemums and aphids. High nitrogen fertility can increase insect populations and decrease secondary metabolites, such as phenolics, reducing the chemical resistance of host plants to aphids. During commercial production, chrysanthemums are fertilized at high fertility (i.e., 375 ppm N for pulse feeding). However, unlike agronomic or other field crops, there is near zero tolerance for any aphids during greenhouse crop production of chrysanthemum. In short, strategies for optimizing greenhouse chrysanthemum nitrogen fertilization while simultaneously controlling aphid population development have led to mixed results (1).
Hence this study tested the hypothesis that moderate levels of nitrogen would better control cotton aphids on chrysanthemum. While aphids are known to reduce plant quality, there have been few comprehensive studies on plant response to aphid population dynamics.

Light Hoop with 18 LEDs
The lights come in pairs and you ...more
1 Recommendation
Leggy's recommendation
Stop everything! Light hula hoop with 18 LEDs! That is the most awesome Xmas gift ever. I am so happy with my new hula hoop, it kicks my pink one to the ground. It's so cool, i can't tell you how much i love it. It's so bright, so much fun and a great exercise. The lights come in pairs and you can get it in a bunch of different colors like turquoise, magenta, green and even a 3 color fast strobe! Splits 3 ways for easy storage and transport. From website: weight is 900gm, hoop diameter is 39", tube thickness is 1 1/4" (this allows for larger light dispersion). If you're a hula hooper like myself, you gotta have one of these. My life is now complete.

'Axe Cop' Fan Movie Chops With Deadly Accuracy [Video]
The one-year anniversary of Ethan and Malachai Nicolle's webcomic force of nature Axe Cop inspired a bevy of celebratory activities this week. Among the most prominent was last night's special signing of Dark Horse's collected AC at L.A.'s Meltdown Comics where an Australian fan film was premiered for those in attendance. Axe fans, that fan short is now online, and guess what? It's what you want.Acting as a shot-for-shot live action adaptation of the brothers Nicolle's debut installment of Axe Cop, the short by Australian fans Peter Muehlenberg, Afrim Memed and Anthony Koreny manages to build upon the strip's own magic by seamlessly integrating original transitions between panels. Of course, it doesn't hurt that William Emmons and Peter Flaherty pull off their respective Axe Cop and Flute Cop/Dinosaur Soldier roles with
flying chopping colors. In fact, if I didn't know any better, I'd wager they were the real deal brought to our reality through a magical portal.
What's more, the trio included the musical stylings of Stepdad, who let loose an unofficial AC theme song just weeks after the series began.
I'm not sure it's reasonable to beg for the team to recreate all 80-and-counting AC chapters (plus the upcoming Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth mini coming from Dark Horse in March), but with any luck, we'll at least see a few more installments.
Check out part one of the fan film below:

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.
