Cape Town - Springbok
Sevens player Francois Hougaard will join Aviva Premiership side Worcester
Warriors in England on a short term contract, SA Rugby confirmed on Monday.
The Springbok scrumhalf is
currently on a one-year contract with the Springbok Sevens side. He will return
to the squad in May, in time to be considered for selection for the last two
World Series tournaments of the season, in Paris (14 and 15 May) and a week
later at Twickenham in London.
The move effectively means that Hougaard will not represent the Bulls in Super Rugby this season.
Since joining the Springbok
Sevens, Hougaard has played in four HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series tournaments,
helping South Africa to joint first place on the log as well as the inaugural
HSBC Cape Town Sevens title.
Springbok Sevens coach, Neil
Powell, said Hougaard has made a big impact since joining the squad before the
start of the season. According to Powell, the player has always played open
cards with him regarding his desire to undertake a short spell overseas.
"This is a great opportunity for
Francois and he was always keen on the idea of exploring playing opportunities
overseas," said Powell.
"He has kept us informed at all
times and we had him scheduled to skip the next couple of tournaments anyway,
because of our rotation system."
Hougaard will therefore not be
available for selection for the next four World Series tournaments, in Las
Vegas, Vancouver, Hong Kong and Singapore. At Worcester, he will be reunited
with former Bulls and Springbok team-mates Wynand Olivier and Dewald
The Springbok Sevens is currently
one of a trio of teams who have 69 points after four rounds. Fiji is placed
first because of their superior points margin, followed by South Africa and New

Ways to Give
Making charitable contributions is an art -- a creative process that adapts to the changing needs and wishes of each donor. Planned giving enables donors to arrange charitable contributions in ways that maximize their personal objectives while minimizing the after-tax cost.
Depending on the asset given and the gift arrangement selected, a donor can generally expect to obtain some or all of the following benefits:
Outright Gifts
Cash is the simplest, most direct, and most popular type of charitable gift. A gift of cash is considered made on the date it is hand-delivered or mailed, and because of the charitable deduction, the net cost to a donor can be much less than the actual amount of the gift.
Securities and Real Estate
Popular alternatives to cash are gifts of appreciated property, such as securities and real estate. Such gifts generate a double tax benefit. In addition to receiving a charitable income-tax deduction for the full fair-market value of the property, the donor escapes any potential tax on the capital-gain element in the property.

Time are tough -
don't cut taxes on rich
Sixty percent of the income of the Forbes 400 comes from capital gains, which are taxed at just 15 percent. But let's not begrudge the creme de la creme of America's economy. Much of their collective wealth was earned through innovation and hard work, never mind that a sizable portion was inherited. However, when presidential candidate Mitt Romney asserts, if elected, he will cut taxes on the wealthy, we must scratch our heads and wonder.
In a nation where more and more wealth accumulates in fewer and fewer hands, while many folks must skip meals to afford necessary medications, hungry kids can't concentrate in school, and more and more folks are losing their homes because they can't find work, shouldn't our political leaders be more inclined to increase the capital gains tax and use that revenue to create jobs and help the needy?
Romney says slash government spending, and tax the rich even less so they'll be more inclined to create more jobs. So how come when the highest marginal tax rate was over 90 percent in the 1950s and early 60s, ordinary Americans proportionately had more good-paying jobs, one wage earner could support a family, and the American Dream was alive and well for a much large share of our population than it is today?
Indeed, those in the Elephant Party would in fact prefer middle-income folks receive less in wages, less Social Security, and pay more for health care by morphing Medicare into Vouchercare, just so they can subsidize the rich and make them even richer. President Barack Obama and Democrats running for Congress refuse to coddle the wealthy, and they will preserve and expand our middle class. They need your votes.

Shore Cycle Club:
We'll do better next time
Regarding the Oct. 8 letter, "Trespassing cyclists showed no respect":
On behalf of the Shore Cycle Club, we are in total agreement - this was inexcusable. In the future, we will work more closely with our volunteer staff and the local portable-toilet company to ensure proper placement.
The actions of the riders mentioned do not reflect the better judgment of the majority of the more than 170 riders who enjoyed the Belleplain Fall Century cycling event.

Obama hasn't buried
middle class - yet
Vice President Joe Biden let it slip that the middle class has been "buried for the past four years." Actually, the announcement was premature.
The reality is that the median income of the middle class has decreased by almost 10 percent, the value of their primary residence has decreased by 25 percent, their health-insurance premiums have increased 30 percent, and those who have jobs are paying 100 percent more for the gasoline they need to get to and from those jobs.
The middle class has been sacrificing and paying quite heavily for the first four years of Barack Obama's presidency. As far as the middle class being buried, that is on the agenda for his next four years. The idea is to prove that our capitalist system doesn't work, and in order to do this, the middle class, which is the strength of that system, must be abolished.
We're well on our way. Small business and the entrepreneurial spirit, the heart of the middle class, are being killed off through overregulation and taxes. When these are finally destroyed, the middle class will be buried - and the promise of the fundamental transformation of America will have been delivered.
Ocean City
GOP should demand
that Curcio resign
Regarding the Sept. 25 story, "Curcio pleads guilty to 2nd DWI":
So, Atlantic County Surrogate Jim Curcio pleaded guilty to his second drunken driving charge, but in an act of supreme arrogance he refuses to resign. He claims to have stopped drinking, but he also told the judge at his first drunken driving arrest that this would never happen again.
Are we supposed to ignore his previous disregard for the law and let him go on as if nothing ever happened? I thought judges were supposed to uphold the law, not repeatedly break it and then have the audacity to remain in their jobs.
What is also disturbing is the silence of his Republican buddies. Not one word of condemnation, not one word of disgust after Curcio's second guilty plea. Does this mean the Republican Party of Atlantic County feels it's party first and ethics last? How can the Republicans ask people to vote for them when by their silence they're saying it's OK for one of their own to break the law?
The county surrogate maintains two offices for the convenience of county residents, one in Mays Landing, the other in Atlantic City. Without a driver's license, how can Curcio even do his job? If the Republicans don't demand that Curcio resign, they don't deserve re-election.
Seat belts for pets
aren't stupid, governor
Regarding Gov. Chris Christie's statement about pet seat-belt laws - "I don't want my name anywhere near something that stupid":
My pets are loving members of my family, so protecting them is not stupid. It's called caring. What really is stupid and insulting is how Christie feels he can talk to people the way he does and think it's OK.
I was always taught as a young child to keep your mouth shut if you have nothing nice to say. Christie should try it.

One of the peak substantial decisions to be made about your wedding ceremony day is whether or not you are going to have a subject matter for your big day.
Are you active for
- one, two or 3 tincture scheme?Post ads:
NFL Hoodie Purse / Columbia Men's 40mm Oil Tan Leather Edge Belt / Smartwool Women's Saturnsphere Sock / Energizer LED Keychain Light / New Balance Men's M574GS Sneaker

Whatever you determine you must accept your issue and hold fast to it!
It is all too effortless to be swayed by all the gorgeous marriage dresses, favours and bonny designs at hand are out near and oh so ambitious to exchange when you have ready-made most of the arrangements.
For example: the DJ - you have arranged on a mediaeval content. You have bought the fine historic period stylishness dress, placed an commandeer venue, menu, flowers and decorations. All that is left-handed is to standardize the DJ and the music. You poorness any appropriately mediaeval method auditory communication for the big second. Have you curbed that the DJ can hand over music of the caste you are sounding for? Is he volitional to frolic what you impoverishment (not what he prefers or thinks is better!) Modern auditory communication would be out of set with your content and could shell your day.
Equally for example, at an Elvis elegance honeymoon 'Love Me Tender' would be the faultless resolution but not an unreasonable cheap pound chant. So you can see that choosing the authority DJ for your marriage day can form all the lack of correspondence to your flawless day.
Get the music rightly and the romance flows apposite along.

Larvae may offer a key to our understanding of how new body plans originate. This book contains the diverse conclusions of leading zoologists and developmental biologists.
This well-conceived and well-edited book offers much interest to both herpetologists and ichthyologists... It is an excellent reference for graduate sutdents and investigators in these fields and for herpetologists and vertebrate biologists in general. --Kentwood D. Wells, University of Connecticut, in COPEIA (2000) "...certain to become as important as Gavin De Beer's Embryos and Ancestors. This integrative and organismal approach forms the core of the emerging field of evolutionary developmental biology which is well served by this volume." --R. Glenn Northcutt in CELL (September 1999) "...this book is to be recommended as giving a valuable insight into current thinking on larvae." --D.I. Williamson in JOURNAL OF NATURAL HISTORY

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/100,878, filed on Mar. 18, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,117,450. This application also claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/364,974, filed on Mar. 15, 2002, and entitled "Method and Apparatus for Determining Font Attributes" by the inventor Imran Chaudhri.
The invention relates to Graphical User Interfaces (GUI), and more particularly to a GUI for determining font attributes.
Many software applications (e.g., a word processor, a drawing application, or others) can be used to manipulate text information. Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) help users to select various parameters in formatting text. Typically, a font panel or a text format tool bar is provided by a software application so that a user can interactively select or specify font attributes (e.g., font size, line spacing) in formatting text.
Once arrow 207 of combo box 209 is pressed by cursor 301 (e.g., clicking a button of a mouse while the cursor is on the arrow), pop-up window 303 appears, as shown in
While these methods provide convenient interfaces for selecting parameters to format text, more user friendly and effective methods are desirable, since formatting text is a frequently performed task for many, many users.
Methods and apparatuses for text formatting are described here.
In one aspect of the present invention, a method to determine a font attribute includes: determining a first number and a second number; receiving input resulting from a sliding of a thumb of a slider to a position; and determining a value for the font attribute from the position relative to the slider and the first and second numbers. In one example according to this aspect, the font attribute is one of: a) font size; b) boldness; c) italic angle; d) baseline offset; e) line spacing; and f) character spacing. At least one of the first number and the second number is adjusted in one exemplary embodiment, when the thumb is pushed against one end of the slider. In another example according to this aspect, at least one of the first number and the second number is updated when a first input is received (e.g., selecting a value from a list, typing in a value; or pushing a thumb against one end of a slider), which determines the at least one of the first and second number. When an input for switching from a first mode to a second mode is received, the slider is replaced with a representation of a command (e.g., a combination box, a pop-up menu, a selection list, or others), which when activated allows selection of a value from a list (or entry of text in a text field).
The present invention includes apparatuses which perform these methods, including data processing systems which perform these methods and machine or computer readable media which when executed on data processing systems cause the systems to perform these methods.
Other features of the present invention will be apparent from the accompanying drawings and from the detailed description which follow.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements.
The following description and drawings are illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention. Numerous specific details are described to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, in certain instances, well known or conventional details are not described in order to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention.
As shown in
It will be apparent from this description that aspects of the present invention may be embodied, at least in part, in software. That is, the techniques may be carried out in a computer system or other data processing system in response to its processor, such as a microprocessor, executing sequences of instructions contained in a memory, such as ROM 107, volatile RAM 105, non-volatile memory 106, cache 104 or a remote storage device. In various embodiments, hardwired circuitry may be used in combination with software instructions to implement the present invention. Thus, the techniques are not limited to any specific combination of hardware circuitry and software nor to any particular source for the instructions executed by the data processing system. In addition, throughout this description, various functions and operations are described as being performed by or caused by software code to simplify description. However, those skilled in the art will recognize what is meant by such expressions is that the functions result from execution of the code by a processor, such as the microprocessor 103.
At least one embodiment of the present invention seeks to utilize sliders to set various font attributes for formatting text.
Pop-down menu 413, when activated by cursor 415, brings up menu list 421 for further options. When menu item "Edit Font Size . . . " is selected, dialog window 500 as shown in
Window 500 contains radio buttons 503 and 505 for selecting whether to display the font size options as a fixed list (505) or an adjustable slider (503). When radio button 503 is pressed, the font size option is displayed as slider 515. Text entries 511 and 513 show the maximum and minimum font sizes corresponding to the sizes selected when the thumb 517 is at the top and the bottom of slider 515 respectively. A user can type in customized limits for the maximum and minimum font sizes in text entries 511 and 513. Alternatively, combo boxes can be used in the places of text entries 511 and 513 so that a user can simply select customized limits from predetermined lists. In another embodiment of the present invention, the maximum and minimum font size can be changed by pressing thumb 517 against one end of the slider. More details on this aspect are described below with
When the user is satisfied with the setting, push button 501 can be pressed to activate the setting and dismiss window 500. Since option 503 is selected to display font size as an adjustable slider, window 400 in
Corner 463 of window 600 in
Window 700 in
Similarly, window 900 in
In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof. It will be evident that various modifications may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative sense rather than a restrictive sense.

The physical differences between the TIE Vanguard and other TIE series starfighters were greater than those of the TIE/rc. Several large antennae connected to sensor arrays and communications equipment protruded from the cockpit ball, and the upper section of each Quadanium alloy solar ionization panel was shortened and swept outwards to reduce interference with the dorsal scanners.
As with the TIE/rc, weaponry consisted of a sole laser cannon that was placed on the chin of the cockpit ball; however, unlike its predecessor, the Vanguard was protected by limited shielding, thus enabling it to better protect any intelligence and other data that it had gathered.
The Vanguard was designed to perform scouting and intelligence-gathering missions, and was often deployed by Imperial forces in order to obtain information on enemy warship or fleet movements prior to a full fleet engagement. The type saw service with the Imperial Navy as early as the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY.

Cinnamon Toast Crumb Crust
Slideshow: Amazing Pies and Tarts
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: Makes one 10-inch crust
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 cups diced crusts and end pieces from 1 loaf of packaged white bread (10 ounces crusts)
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 325°. In a saucepan, melt the butter. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the butter is golden brown, about 8 minutes; strain into a glass measuring cup. Reserve the browned butter solids for the Brown Butter Custard Pie.
Pour half of the melted butter into a bowl. Add the sugar, salt, cinnamon and bread, and toss. Spread the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes, stirring once or twice, until golden. Let cool.
Rewarm the remaining butter; pour into a food processor. Add the croutons and pulse to fine crumbs; spoon the crumbs into a 10-inch pie plate. Refrigerate for 5 minutes. Press the crumbs over the bottom and sides of the pie plate; refrigerate the crust until chilled, 15 minutes.

Description: From the beginning of the American occupation in 1945 to the post-bubble period of the early 1990s, popular music provided Japanese listeners with a much-needed release, channeling their desires, fears, and frustrations over an ever-shifting geopolitical reality into a pleasurable and fluid art. Pop music allowed Japanese artists and audiences to assume various identities, reflecting the country's uncomfortable position under American hegemony. Michael Bourdaghs composes the first English-language study of this phenomenon, considering genres as diverse as boogie-woogie, rockabilly, enka, 1960s rock and roll, 1970s New Music, folk, and technopop. Reading these forms and their cultural import through music, literary, and cultural theory, he introduces a range of readers to the sensual moods and meanings of modern Japan.As he unpacks the complexities of Japanese pop production and consumption, Bourdaghs interprets a country as it worked through (or tried to forget) its imperial past. These efforts grew even murkier as Japanese pop migrated to the nation's former colonies. In postwar Japan, pop music both accelerated and protested the commodification of everyday life, challenged and reproduced gender hierarchies, and insisted on the uniqueness of a national culture, even as it participated in an increasingly integrated global marketplace. Each chapter examines a single genre through a particular theoretical lens: the relation of music to liberation; the influence of cultural mapping on musical appreciation; the role of translation in transmitting musical genres across the globe; the place of noise in music and its relation to historical change; the tenuous connection between ideologies of authenticity and imitation; the link between commercial success and artistic integrity; and the function of melodrama. Bourdaghs concludes with a look at recent Japanese pop music culture.

my busy life
Monday, October 24, 2011
You ever feel like your life is just too busy and you wonder how you do it all. I have been having that feeling a lot lately. And things are about to get busier for me. My husband is going to have to work the next several saturdays. Which means he will be working 6 days a week. We can use the money but he won't be here to help around the house and my youngest has decided she wants to play rec basketball which will be a first for us. I am glad my oldest is busy with clubs and school and I am glad my youngest is showing an interest in sports. So, the question is where does my fitness fit in? Which is the question I have been pondering for awhile. So, tonight as I was waiting for my oldest to text me and tell me she was done with academic bowl, I put in a walk away the pounds dvd. I thought it would be a piece of cake since I have walked more than that lately but calling on all of those different muscle groups made me go wow!!! I did make it through the whole work out and yes I did have to pause it to go get my daughter! But in the end I think all that matters is I completed the workout and yes I did it for me. So, maybe I will only make it to the gym once a week and that may only be on weekends but what matters is I am trying and making my fitness a daily part of my life is a good thing. I have goals like I would like to start jogging and then running but all in good time and no my weight loss is not perfect but neither am I and I will get there in my own sweet time knowing I did this for me and me alone. I know I can do this I have done it before.
My huge down fall is now and will always be is the plain and simple fact I love food. I mean almost all food. I am also a carb addict or the carb queen as my family lovingly puts it. I love fresh bread and desserts and vegetables and meat and potatoes and sweet potatoes and fruits and everything in between. I love growing my own food and providing the best I possible can for myself and my family.
which brings me back to the fact even though my family is super important to me and because of that I need to get healthy for them and that means being as physically fit as possible which means exercising atleast 30 mins everyday.
so that is my challenge and goal for this week. So, wish me luck because here I go!!!

… The History of Terrorism as a Transforming Event
Terrorism has become the focus of much of our political energy and national resources since the events of 9/11, and the more we do to fight terrorism, the farther we seem to drift from a solution. We are now in our fifteenth year of a war on terror that should have been over in three months, and the Middle East is more unstable than it has ever been before. Radical Islam is now the number one threat for many European countries. What caused this breakdown in leadership and the faulty logic that has led us into a bloody and enormously costly war on terror that appears to have no end? How could a ragged band of Islamic radicals become the greatest danger facing an increasingly unstable world, and the greatest superpower in world history become embroiled in a never ending war on terror that has cost trillions of dollars and led to an incalculable loss of personal liberty under the Patriot Act?
We will explore the history, economics, and political implications of the war on terror through the eyes of an investigative journalist who has spent much of the past 15 years trying to understand the implications of 9/11 and what we must do to right our ship of state. Please join us for this important radio program.
Christopher Bollyn was born in Chicago and grew up during the 1960's in suburban Schaumburg, Illinois. He was raised in an educated middle class family. He delivered newspapers before school and became an Eagle Scout at age 15. He served as an altar boy in the Episcopalian Church and earned the God and Country award.
His father, Albert, grew up in Chicago's Austin neighborhood and graduated with a degree in journalism from University of Illinois after serving the Army Corps of Engineers in Germany. Christopher's father was his first proofreader and editor. Albert Bollyn owned an interior decoration business and enjoyed acting in the theatre guild.
After graduating from high school, Christopher traveled extensively in Europe and the Middle East. For several winters he lived and studied in Oslo, Norway. In spring he would cycle across Europe and the Near East. In Norway, he lived with an erudite Swedish countess and studied Middle Eastern history and Semitic languages at the University of Oslo.
Christopher returned to the United States in the late 1970s and began studies at the University of California at Davis. He has a degree in history from U.C. Santa Cruz. His emphasis was on Palestine/Israel. His last year of university was spent in Norway, Greece, and the newly liberated Baltic States where he researched the psychological effects of the Soviet occupation on the native population.

Roberto Mancini relishing taking on Gianfranco Zola in FA Cup third round tie
Roberto Mancini is looking forward to pitting his wits against fellow Italian Gianfranco Zola in Saturday's FA Cup tie.
Last Updated: 05/01/13 2:05pm
The pair, both renowned attacking players, were regular opponents in Serie A and were competitors for a place in the Italy team in the 1990s.
And Manchester City boss Mancini says he is a big fan of Zola, who was West Ham boss for two years before being sacked in 2010.
"I respected him as a player when he played and now as a manager. I think he did a good job when he was at West Ham and now with Watford," he said.
"He was a fantastic player, his quality was of top level. He did very well in Italy and very well in England with Chelsea.
"As a manager you need time but he still did very well with West Ham and I think he has a good chance to bring Watford into the first division because he knows football very well."
Zola's Hornets can expect to face a strong City side as Mancini insists he has few options within his squad for the game.
"The FA Cup is totally different from the Premier League. Probably for Watford it is the most important game in the year and we won't change a lot of players - we don't have the players," he said.

The president also angrily lashed out at the media and his critics.
President Trump lashed out at the media in a Saturday morning tweetstorm, insisting his authority to issue pardons is "complete" and expressing frustration over stories that revealed Attorney General Jeff Sessions may have lied about his contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.
"A new INTELLIGENCE LEAK from the Amazon Washington Post, this time against A.G. Jeff Sessions. These illegal leaks, like Comey's, must stop!" the president tweeted, following up by stating that "While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us. FAKE NEWS."
The tacit acknowledgement the president has been thinking about his pardon power in relation to the Russia investigation, and the qualification that no crimes but leaks had been revealed "so far" raised eyebrows among media observers.
Many point to unromantic 20-somethings and women's entry into the workforce, but an overlooked factor is the trouble young men have in finding steady, well-paid jobs.
TOKYO—Japan's population is shrinking. For the first time since the government started keeping track more than a century ago, there were fewer than 1 million births last year, as the country's population fell by more than 300,000 people. The blame has long been put on Japan's young people, who are accused of not having enough sex, and on women, who, the narrative goes, put their careers before thoughts of getting married and having a family.
But there's another, simpler explanation for the country's low birth rate, one that has implications for the U.S.: Japan's birth rate may be falling because there are fewer good opportunities for young people, and especially men, in the country's economy. In a country where men are still widely expected to be breadwinners and support families, a lack of good jobs may be creating a class of men who don't marry and have children because they—and their potential partners—know they can't afford to.
The Senate parliamentarian's rejection of important provisions of the GOP's Obamacare repeal bill puts its status in further jeopardy.
On Friday, Senate Democrats released a list of provisions in the Republican health-care bill that the Senate parliamentarian holds can pass via a simple, filibuster-proof majority vote. Among those provisions that didn't meet her scrutiny are the bill's plans to defund Planned Parenthood, restrict tax-credit funding for insurance plans that provide abortions, and a six-month "lockout" period from purchasing insurance for people who don't maintain continuous coverage.
If this preliminary guidance holds, the Better Care Reconciliation Act—which is already in dire straits—seems likely to fail.
The final assessment of the parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, is a critical step in the GOP's strategy for passing their bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. Republicans have opted to pass their health-care legislation via the special reconciliation process, under which they can cut debate short in the Senate and thus eliminate indefinite filibusters, which Democrats would certainly use in order to block any attempt to repeal Obamacare. But bills have to follow a certain procedure—called the Byrd Rule—in order to pass by reconciliation.
On Flower Boy the rapper suggests he's not straight—and struggles with a stigma he helped propagate.
Tyler, the Creator became famous, in part, for being hateful. When his rap collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All ("Odd Future" is fine) caught buzz around 2010, it was because of their delirious energy and Eminem-like love of mayhem. But it was their threats against women and "faggots," delivered in song and on social media, that elevated them from subculture phenomenon to become essay prompt and political flashpoint. The likes of GLAAD and the band Tegan and Sara declared Tyler poisonous and asked the music industry to stop supporting him. Theresa May, back when she was home secretary of the U.K., took the extraordinary step of banning him from her country because his lyrics "encourage violence and intolerance of homosexuality."
Biology textbooks tell us that lichens are alliances between two organisms—a fungus and an alga. They are wrong.
In 1995, if you had told Toby Spribille that he'd eventually overthrow a scientific idea that's been the stuff of textbooks for 150 years, he would have laughed at you. Back then, his life seemed constrained to a very different path. He was raised in a Montana trailer park, and home-schooled by what he now describes as a "fundamentalist cult." At a young age, he fell in love with science, but had no way of feeding that love. He longed to break away from his roots and get a proper education.
At 19, he got a job at a local forestry service. Within a few years, he had earned enough to leave home. His meager savings and non-existent grades meant that no American university would take him, so Spribille looked to Europe.
Epic yet intimate, the director's new war film is boldly experimental and visually stunning.
What is Dunkirk?
The answer is more complicated than one might imagine. Director Christopher Nolan's latest is a war film, of course, yet one in which the enemy scarcely makes an appearance. It is a $150 million epic, yet also as lean and spare as a haiku, three brief, almost wordless strands of narrative woven together in a mere 106 minutes of running time. It is classic in its themes—honor, duty, the horror of war—yet simultaneously Nolan's most radical experiment since Memento. And for all these reasons, it is a masterpiece.
The historical moment captured by the film ascended long ago to the level of martial lore: In May 1940, in the early days of World War II, some 400,000 British and Allied troops were flanked and entrapped by Germany on the beaches of Dunkirk in northern France. Although the Channel was narrow enough that the men could almost see across to England, the waters were too shallow for warships to approach the beaches. So a flotilla of some 700 civilian craft—the "Little Ships of Dunkirk"—made their way from Ramsgate in England to assist in the rescue.
The White House is threatening the special counsel and trying to dig up dirt on him, and the prospect that the president will try to fire him now seems very real.
The idea that Donald Trump might fire—or try to fire—Special Counsel Robert Mueller has bubbled up enough times to seem possible, but still improbable. For one thing (as Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer, among others, can attest) press reports that this president might fire someone are frequently wrong. For another, it seemed that even Trump was prudent enough to avoid making the mistake that ended Richard Nixon's presidency.
Yet Trump has a knack for making the wildly implausible suddenly imminent. In the last 36 hours, the idea of Mueller being fired—and the political crisis it would likely set off—has become distinctly real. In an interview with The New York Times, Trump all but said he would fire Mueller if his investigation went into places Trump didn't like. Since then, several reports have suggested that Trump's defense strategy, as investigations probe deeper into his life and administration, is to attack Mueller and attempt to discredit him. Increasingly, the operative question seems not to be whether Trump will try to fire Mueller, but when he will do so and what will push him over the edge.
In an 11th hour push to repeal Obamacare, Republicans are leaning on a murky analysis that supports their plan.
The Department of Health and Human Services does a great number of things, but providing authoritative analysis of legislation isn't usually one of them.
That task is left instead to the Congressional Budget Office, the independent agency lawmakers typically rely on to score each and every bill. Yet when it comes to health care, Republicans seem willing to put their trust in the evaluation that's best for them, regardless of who prepared it—and dismiss assessments that will only make Obamacare repeal harder.
As the prospects for passing a repeal-and-replace law have grown dimmer over recent weeks, Republicans have increasingly divorced themselves from the CBO, which has repeatedly assigned negative scores to the party's plans. Instead, the GOP has opted for a much more insulated approach to mathematics. Most recently, lawmakers seized on a "preliminary draft" of HHS's appraisal of a controversial amendment to the Senate's Better Care Reconciliation Act.
The choice of the former hedge funder and ardent Trump loyalist reflected longstanding dissatisfaction with Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
The Scaramucci revolution was televised.
After months of chatter that his job was on the chopping block, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer finally exited stage right on Friday after financier, donor and TV talking head Anthony Scaramucci was given the job of White House communications director, which had been vacant since the departure of Mike Dubke in May. Spicer resigned in opposition to the move.
The incident brought simmering conflicts inside the White House to a boil and pitted top advisers against each other in a last-minute effort on the part of some of them to stymie the appointment of Scaramucci, known as "The Mooch," who had refashioned himself as an ardent Trump supporter during the campaign and had been left in limbo during the early days of the administration after not getting a promised job.
The transcript of the president's conversation with The New York Times throws his shortcomings into greater relief than ever before.
"Now Donald Trump has finally done it" is a sentence many people have said or written, but which has never yet proven true. As Trump gained momentum during the campaign season, errors that on their own would have stopped or badly damaged previous candidates bounced right off.
These ranged from mocking John McCain as a loser (because "I like people who weren't captured"), to being stumped by the term "nuclear triad" (the weapons of mass destruction that he as U.S. president now controls), to "when you're a star ... you can grab 'em by the pussy" (my onetime employer Jimmy Carter had to spend days in the 1976 campaign explaining away his admission to Playboy that he had sometimes felt "lust in the heart"), to being labelled by an in-party opponent a "pathological liar," "utterly amoral," and "a narcissist at a level I don't think this country's ever seen" (the words of his now-supporter Ted Cruz). I kept my list of 152 such moments in the Time Capsule series as the campaign went on.

The decline of a once-powerful majority is going to have profound implications.
In the aftermath of the Kent State shooting, President Nixon took an impromptu 4 a.m. walk to the Lincoln Memorial. Was he losing his mind?

About MeHey, guys. My names Jennifer Peterson... I tried to get into modeling when i was 13 years old..took a couple classes from different agencies, and learned quite a bit.. I didn't stick with it due to school and what not. Now that I'm 19 years old, i think a career in modeling could really benefit me financially, and spiritually.. not to mention, it'll keep me in shape. ;)
Art has always been a passion of mine, and is now more than ever.
I would love to expand my experience and portfolio with booking talented photographers around the area. or even from afar?
Take a look at my portfolio, and if you're interested, let me know so we can create magic. ;)

Yeah mate, I know enough German to know that. The full name is Soldier Story Feldgendarmerie Des Heeres.
However, answering on my phone, I shortened it. Ultimately, if you type Soldier Story Des Heeres into Google, the model I am talking about comes up!
