Anybody who's been subjected to "Old Yeller" as a child knows to be leery of stories about dogs. They'll end up breaking your heart.
And so to "Sight Hound," the much anticipated debut novel from the marvelous short-story writer Pam Houston. As you might discern from the title, a canine is central to the story. Dante is a wolfhound whose great size is dwarfed only by his immense capacity for love. Rae is Dante's human. She's met with professional success as a playwright, but her personal life is a shambles after a series of failed relationships. She relies on her dog for the constancy she has not found elsewhere.
Author Houston strings together a series of first-person narratives, giving different characters a chance to voice their takes on Rae's situation, and on her relationship with Dante (which will seem extraordinary only to people who don't have pets — animal lovers will understand completely the bond she has with her dog).
As fans of Houston's writing have come to expect, her characters are outspoken and original.
Coming Up
Pam Houston
The author of "Sight Hound" will read at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Elliott Bay Book Co., 101 S. Main St. in Seattle. Free (206-624-6600; www.elliottbaybook.com).
Dante the dog has the very best insights. Here, for example, is his assessment of humans: "They are such fragile creatures to begin with, with poor eyes, poorer hearing, and no sense of smell left to speak of, it's no wonder they are made of fear." Reading from various points of view about Rae's travails and eventual transcendence is undeniably engaging. But given the format Houston has used, the reading experience is somewhat disjointed, too.
The story line itself, which twins Dante's physical health with Rae's emotional well-being, doesn't seem to be sufficient. It feels like an intermediate step between short stories and a full-blown novel.
Even so, you can count on "Sight Hound" to have a tear-blinding ending. Didn't I warn you about stories about dogs?

Release Date: 2000 |
Album Rating: 4.0Criminally underrated album in sputnik.
Summary says it all.
Digging: Fleurety - The White Death
Album Rating: 2.0Dude are you retarded? Ordo ad Chao is awesome.
Here we go again with this band...
Album Rating: 4.0Ordo ad Chao was so forced. I am not a fan.
Even if we ignore the intentionally terrible production (from a band that can afford professional production), Illuminate Eliminate is the only decent song on the album.
Just my opinion!
Good album yeah
Album Rating: 2.0I dunno, it was weird and freaky and seemed to perfectly compliment the strangeness of Atilla's voice. Beyond that, I'm just a
sucker for black metal albums that don't feel the need to be insanely homogenous (barring this album, hah).
Album Rating: 2.5This one isn't terrible. I don't see it as anything special though.
Album Rating: 3.5agree so hard with that first sentence
Album Rating: 3.0By 1994, the year of the release of their oft-praised opus De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, they had gone through four singers, two drummers, a bassist, and the band's two primary songwriters were dead.
damn need to check this one!
Shame this doesnt have Attila's drunken priest mumbling
Album Rating: 4.5Good rev man. And Ordo ad Chao is awesome [2]
Digging: Blut Aus Nord - Deus Salutis Meae
Album Rating: 3.5Criminally underrated album in sputnik.
This and Chimera.
Chimera sucked
Album Rating: 4.0Chimera wasn't as awful as Ordo ad Chao, but it wasn't very good. It was a huge letdown after Grand Declaration of War.
Maniac's vocals were uninspired on Chimera. He got it right on this album.
Album Rating: 3.5You guys are wrong about Chimera : p Whatever, I'm always the odd one out around here.
Album Rating: 4.0Dark Night of the Soul is a pretty rad song, if that makes you feel any better.
Album Rating: 3.5Hahahahaha I can stop crying now! Props again for loving mid era Mayhem!
Album Rating: 3.5Really diggin this at the moment

Jason Aldean Takes Coolest Selfie Ever With George Strait
There are selfies ... and then there are selfies like this one!
There are selfies ... and then there are selfies like this one!
The legendary George Strait is bidding farewell to life on the road one show at a time on the Cowboy Rides Away Tour, and understandably, it's an event every fan wants to experience. Unfortunately, at Friday's (Jan. 10) show, some ticket holders left in extreme disappointment after they weren't let into the venue.
With over 50 No. 1 hits, years and years of touring and a farewell tour that has dates selling out in minutes ... why stop now? George Strait proves he still has it at 61, leading us to believe that the Cowboy Rides Away Tour may not be a farewell after all.
The nominees for Live Act of the Year aren't just your usual suspects. New artists like Florida Georgia Line make the ballot, while first-time headliners like Luke Bryan and Eric Church look for fan votes against mainstays like Brad Paisley and Jason Aldean. George Strait may be the sentimental favorite, as he finished the first year of a two-year plan to retire from the road. Vote for your favorite live performer from 2013 here!
The final date of George Strait's farewell tour, called The Cowboy Rides Away Tour, is quickly approaching. Strait's last stop is at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and tickets went fast.
George Strait is saying goodbye to life on a tour bus with his Cowboy Rides Away Tour, and fans are desperate to see the singer onstage one last time. In fact, front row seats to see the King have raised over $450,000 so far.
George Strait will prove once and for all why he is the King of Country. The icon is set to play his final show ever with a ridiculously star-studded lineup of artists at his side, ensuring the country legend will ride away from his touring days in style.
George Strait used his immense success for good this past weekend when he helped raise $425,000 for Troops First Foundation at the Tapatio Springs Golf Resort through a golf tournament and auction.
George Strait, the King of Country, reigned supreme at the 2013 CMA Awards, nabbing the coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy. The legend, who is retiring from active touring next year, was truly surprised by the win, but we weren't. It's doubtful that any of the country superstars at the ceremony were shocked by his win, either.
We lost the Possum, George Jones -- who is considered one of the greatest country singers ever, if not the greatest country singer ever -- earlier this year. Of course, the 2013 CMA Awards paid tribute to the legend, with Alan Jackson and George Strait performing a duet of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' which is Jones' most recognizable and beloved song.
The next time you find yourself nominated for something, don't be bashful about voting for yourself, because the iconic George Strait has done it! He admits he cast a vote for himself to win at the 2013 CMA Awards.
There's a pair of cowboys in the new Wrangler Jeans commercial, dubbed 'Long Live Cowboys.' It's country icon George Strait and 10-time World Champion All-Around Cowboy Trevor Brazile! In the space of 30 seconds, the two men from different generations embody the unbreakable spirit of tried-and-true cowboys.

Discussion in 'General Pro Player Discussion' started by dimamid, Jan 16, 2009.
saw him playing throughout kooyong in adidas, has he switched??
where did you hear this? i doubt locoste would sign him of all people hes ugly
Well he's using it at the Kooyong Classic exhibition right now, so I think they signed him.
Why? Fed proved you don't need to be handsome to get the juciest contracts in the history of tennis...
from all the pics i saw he was in adidas.....
yeah well i think its a different situation, Fed is much more accomplished to say the least
Then watch the live stream right now. He's wearing a white polo at the moment.
Arnaud Clement and his shades beg to differ.
it is true that he wore lacoste for the final. I've just seen the match.
Well Lacoste lost their reputation by signing Roddick....
Then Nike signed up a guy who looks like he just swung out of Jungle Book.....
Any Pictures of this?
Hmm I just saw his match, and he was clearly wearing lacoste.
I too saw the match last week and there was no mistake he was wearing Lacoste.

I was selling all of my books, CDs and DVDs back at Half Price Books so I could afford to pay for the boob job I need to get if I ever want to be allowed to set foot in Uptown again, and a friend of mine recommended that I hit up Henk's European Deli (which is directly behind Half Price Books, past the hooker) for lunch while I was over there.
5811 Blackwell St.
As soon as I opened the menu and saw that they offer like 50 different varieties of sausage, I knew I was going to like this place. There was something comforting about it—like I instantly knew I wasn't going to be forced into a sausage relationship that I wasn't ready to commit to. There would be no unwanted sausage advances here. No hairy, sweatpants-wearing, mediocre sausage was going to be allowed to have its way with my face.

I went with the Hungarian brat, made of hot paprika smoked sausage. Full order of two links, German potato salad, sauerkraut and a pickle? Hell yes. I mean, if these artery-clogging sausages are going to stop my heart, I'm gonna want the immediate heart-stop and not the half-stop. With spicy mustard.
As Neil Diamond's "Coming to America" played over the crackly speakers, I bit into my Hungarian brat and was not disappointed. So good. It gave me that good feeling that my favorite dream does—ya know, the one where I get to punch Renée Zellweger in the face multiple times until she admits that she only squints her eyes all the time so she doesn't have to see her own acting because she knows she's the worst actress on the planet.
Other options on the menu that warrant a return visit include the Hot Amsterdam (which is a sandwich that sounds like it could definitely double as a position, so be sure to properly stretch out first in the event that there's some kind of offer made to you when you order it), the Weiner Schnitzel (just because), a variety of other 'wursts and everything on their breakfast menu.

OpenVPN produces DCHP NAK bomb on Win 7 64bit

Description (last modified by janjust)
when launching OpenVPN 2.1.4 on Windows 7 64bit it sometimes results in a DHCPNAK bomb in the event log; the end result is that OpenVPN manages to connect but the routes are wrong.
I've managed to capture the traffic on the tap-win32 (tap-win64?) adapter during the connection process:

comment:4 Changed 7 years ago by janjust
Retried it using the DBG tap-win32 driver from the openvpn-2.1_RC7 installer and with 'verb 6' set. It is no longer possible to reproduce the issue. Switching back to the non-debug driver makes the problem appear again; this increases my suspicion that it is a timing issue in the driver itself. Next attempt is to build a debug driver which only prints messages on DHCP NAK packets.

Hi Janjust,
you mentioned that the new 2.2.2 tap driver does not exhibit this behaviour anymore - shall we close the ticket then?
comment:6 Changed 6 years ago by janjust

let's just close this ticket, as I can still not reproduce it here on my win7 laptop...
comment:7 Changed 5 years ago by ert
I'm still having this issue with the 18.104.22.168 TAP driver and OpenVPN 2.2.2.
It mostly happens on resume after hibernation and may be related to
However I don't have permission ot reopen this ticket? :(
comment:8 follow-up: ↓ 9 Changed 5 years ago by ert
Seems to be a bug in the TAP driver. It's happening after you try to refresh the DHCP lease 3 times (after resume from hibernation, Windows tries to acquire a DHCP lease too).
I think the reason for this is a programming error in dhcp.c in function ProcessDHCP:
Is this a bad DHCPREQUEST?
if (msg_type == DHCPREQUEST && dhcp->ciaddr != p_Adapter->m_dhcp_addr)
should be:
if (dhcp->ciaddr && msg_type == DHCPREQUEST && dhcp->ciaddr != p_Adapter->m_dhcp_addr)
as the win32 DHCP client always requests with all fields set to 0, so this increases the error counter even though it isn't a bad request and as BAD_DHCPREQUEST_NAK_THRESHOLD is 3, it fails after the third renew attempt.
Could someone please fix this in the TAP driver and provide a signed copy? We need the driver for production use...

Some 100,000 Catholics gathered in the northern Peruvian city of Otuzco to celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of the Gate on Dec. 15.
Otuzco – located 8,000 feet above sea level in the Andean region of La Libertad – welcomed the crowds, who prayed, sang and performed traditional dances.
Participants crafted and donated hundreds of different vestments for the statue of Our Lady of the Door, with enough for the figure to be decorated each year until 2022.
According to local history, Dutch pirate ships arrived at the Peruvian port city of Trujillo in 1674 to continue the pillaging they began in Guayaquil and Sana. Residents became alarmed and sent messengers to all the neighboring towns to warn of the danger, including the city of Otuzco.
Citizens in Otuzco decided to place a state of the Immaculate Conception at the entrance gate to the city. For three days, they prayed to the Virgin Mary and the pirates never disembarked from their ships.
The event was seen as miracle and the people of Otuzco decided to build a shrine on the spot where the statue had been placed and dedicate it to Our Lady of the Gate.

Tragedy Khadafi Speaks On 2Pac
Remembering Tupac Shakur: Tragedy Khadafi
So Hood:
What are the most powerful lyrics that you ever heard from any person in general?
Tragedy Khadafi:
Theres a couple of them but the main one I have to say is Tupac. I can't take nothing from Nas; he said some powerful s***. That joint Many Men by 50 Cent, I think that's a powerful song. That's what gives a song power when it becomes spiritual, it's not just about the streets, it's not just about money but it's about streets, money, power, struggle and spirituality. To me, Tupac encompassed it.
So Hood:
Tupac has such an influence in rap, What do you think about artists, you see a sample here a sample there of Tupac?
Tragedy Khadafi:
I just think they were influenced by him but I also think they showing respect to a certain degree, certain artists need to let go cause they cant even #### with Pac you know what Im sayin?
So Hood:
So when did you start feeling Pac?
Tragedy Khadafi:
Im not going to lie I wasnt a Pac fan the first couple of times I heard him but when I was listening to his s***. I was like Yo hold on, man. This dude is in f***** pain - hes crying. When I rhyme I be crying straight up yo! I started feeling Pac when he did this song called Pain that was on the Above The Rim Sdtrk. I went to see the movie Above The Rim and Im the type I like to watch till the credits go off so Im sitting there and this beat comes on and s*** and the beat is f***** dumpin and its crazy and then Pac just comes on and he says They never take me alive Im getting high with my four-five cockin these suckas time to die even as a youngster causing ruckas in the back of the bus I was a fool all through out high school kickin up dust, so they label me a troublemaker. Who can you blame? Smoking weed help me take away the pain cause Im hopeless. And I said Oh s***, thats f***** Tupac? thats some s*** like I would say. From then on I became a fan.
So Hood:
When the whole beef and everything went on. Were you rolling with Nas? Who were you with though at that time?
Tragedy Khadafi:
I was always with Pac regardless. Im not sayin I would s*** on Nas or s*** on Biggie cause I love Nas and I love Biggie too. But in terms of being the best artist more in my eyes - and who would always win is Tupac, straight up! Period. Point Blank.
So Hood:
You were involved in the "L.A. L.A." joint.
Tragedy Khadafi:
No doubt! Very much so, not only was I involved in the "L.A. L.A." video which I paid for out of my own pockets - I paid seven grand and Nick Smith who went on to be a big director and shoot Cash Money, Nas, and all types of big stars. I actually architect the whole song; Stretch Armstrong and I came up with the song idea, we put Mobb Deep on it and C-N-N on it. So we orchestrated the whole s*** no doubt I was involved with it.
So Hood:
What motivated you to get into that?
Tragedy Khadafi:
I felt like it was an attack on our character on East Coast artists when they made "New York, New York" Death Row was getting real strong and powerful and I felt like no one in the East Coast was answering to that. And I felt like if we didn't answer to that the fans in the East Coast as well as those artists coming at the East Coast would've felt like something is sweet, and there's nothing sweet on this side of light.

SONORA - Sierra Repertory Theatre brings the spirit of the holiday season to its East Sonora stage with Joe Landry's live 1940s radio broadcast version of the beloved film "It's A Wonderful Life", playing now through Dec. 22.
Thanksgiving is a busy holiday for both professional and amateur bakers; but for the pie makers at Turlock's Latif's Restaurant, it's the pinnacle of their whole year.
STOCKTON - Ever hear of a pumpkin walnut pie?
MODESTO – Let them eat pie.
Thanksgiving dinner, for many traditional families, would not be complete without that main dessert staple – pumpkin pie.
Food brings friends and families together around the table throughout the year, and a Thanksgiving feast is no exception. As people across the nation tuck into a good meal at home on this holiday, several local community members in need are not able to experience the quintessential Thanksgiving flavors. Local chiropractor David Dubyak is pairing up with the United Samaritans Foundation for the 18th year to provide pumpkin pie for those in need this Thanksgiving.
(Family Features) When creative inspiration strikes, you need to seize the moment and create. But if supplies are strewn from one end of the house to the other and clutter reigns, you may battle a real cramp in creativity.
A windshield tour of Manteca's churches reveals a hodge-podge of architectural forms.
With hundreds of Indian-American residents in Turlock, the Gurudwara Sahib Sikh Temple is the place of worship for members of the Sikh community.
STOCKTON - From historic to modern, there are over 400 churches listed in Stockton.
MODESTO - St. Stanislaus Catholic Church has made a memorable mark on the Modesto landscape with an $18 million construction project that now affords the congregation the luxury of attending services in a church rather than the nearby school gym.
Retired Lathrop Reverend Lou Davis calls it a science.
The aroma coming from The Ripon Road House rib orders is enough to tempt the taste buds of any restaurant connoisseurs coming through the front door of the downtown Main Street façade.
DENAIR - You can smell Earl's BBQ in downtown Denair long before you see it. As the season chills, the smoky smells of Earl's BBQ is a beacon in the Valley.
STOCKTON - It's the same barbecue place along Stockton's Miracle Mile.

Artificial or real?
Who needs fall in New England when you have Caswell State Park within a short - and colorful - 10 minute drive away?
If I had to pick a trip I'd do again that didn't involve hiking above 10,000 feet or trekking 10 miles across ...
SAN FRANCISCO – The quintessential San Francisco place to walk?
Highway 4 is the quintessential east-west drive across the 209.
SAN FRANCISCO - To really see The City, there is one place where you can get a true visual feel for San Francisco - Coit Tower.
Dell'Osso Farms is arguably the happiest place in the Northern San Joaquin Valley.
SAN JOSE - What's the hottest ticket in October in San Jose?
Some Northern San Joaquin Valley communities celebrate produce such as almonds, asparagus, grapes, and apricots. And there are plenty of fun times that are connected ...

Sculptor Rafael Gómezbarros has been invading public structures with his army of ant sculptures since 2007. The traveling project titled "Casa Tomada," (Seized House), swarms architectural facades and buildings with thousands of oversized ants. It may seem like a scene from "The Land of The Lost," but through his installations, Gómezbarros opens the discussion on issues of immigration, forced displacement, and the uprooting of peasants due to war and strife.
Each of the ants are over 2 feet in length made of fiberglass resin, fabric, and branches.
See more images here.

Perindopril has extensive clinical data in the management of a variety
of cardiovascular (CV) diseases, including hypertension, heart failure
and post myocardial infarction (MI). Data also exist to show that perindopril
may have specific benefits in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
However, the long-term efficacy of ACE inhibitors in all patients with
stable coronary artery disease has never been investigated or established.
Due to this lack of existing evidence, there was a strong need for a study
such as EUROPA to establish the long-term benefits of perindopril in this
group of patients.
The EUROPA study is in fact the first trial to assess the long-term effects
(over four years) of ACE inhibition with perindopril on the reduction
of cardiac events in all patients with proven stable coronary artery disease
with/without signs of myocardial ischaemia, but without heart failure,
irrespective of age, CV risk profile or ventricular function.
Why is coronary artery disease such an important issue?
Cardiovascular disease is a major worldwide health problem – of an estimated
56 million deaths worldwide in 2001, more than 29% were due to cardiovascular
disease (World Health Report 2002). Significantly, coronary artery disease
is the most common manifestation of cardiovascular disease and is consequently
one of the principal causes of death worldwide.
The standards of medical care have improved dramatically over the past
three decades. However, despite modifications in
patients' lifestyle,
the use of newer medications and improved surgical
techniques, coronary artery disease remains one of the leading causes
of death worldwide. Furthermore,
this disease burden will continue to escalate and
projections estimate that, by 2020, at least 37% of all deaths will be
due to cardiovascular
causes (Murray C, WHO 1996).
The considerable potential of EUROPA
The EUROPA study is the first of its kind to exclusively examine
patients with stable coronary artery disease with/without signs of myocardial
ischaemia, but without heart failure, irrespective of age, CV risk profile
or ventricular function. Therefore, the study results with perindopril 8 mg
will have long term, far-reaching consequences in clinical practice. If perindopril
is shown to have significant beneficial effects in this patient population
(12,218 patients recruited) then it may offer the clinician new opportunities
in the management of all patients with stable coronary artery disease irrespective
of their risk profile or their existing medication(s) with preventative benefits
in all patients with cardiovascular disease.

Album Rating: 4.5chambered89's
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffI'd like to listen to this record high, as a verification test.
Album Rating: 3.0I honestly feel like the second CD is decent (Colouring of Pigeons is REALLY good). The first one is... testing to listen to.
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offmaybe
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Offbecause most of this album is insanely boring.
Album Rating: 4.5yeah but once you get over that you realize it's not!
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Offhahaha
Album Rating: 4.5i can understand the 3s honestly. i was going to give this a middling score after i heard it for the first time but i couldnt quite put my finger on why. as i listened more to do the review thats where it started clicking
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offit's aimless ambience at its most intense.
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Offto be fair I haven't given this all that much listening time, I've been too busy with other stuff and albums I like more.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffI was convinced this was a 3 at first, and listened only to my favourite tracks on the second half (Height of Summer, Colouring Of Pigeons, title track, Annie's Box Alt Vocal), but having got to love them so much I went back to the whole album and am very into it now. It hurts my ears for the first hour, but there's more form to it than I first though, and it's great to wrestle with the whole concept and lyrics along with the music. God knows what The Knife's next album proper will be like.
i have decided i need this.
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offi am genuinely interested on your thoughts on this!
Album Rating: 4.5bumped the review up to a 4.5
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffFirst listen was mind-blowing. I cannot wait to completely gorge on every second of this.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Offthe whole album totally makes the headspace an amphitheater. the music is so fully realized that it's so easy to conjure up images and react to the music. this is what the knife have been leading up to their whole career. their music got better once they embraced mood and texture over song and melody, and the best part of fever ray was always the music videos and how it deepened the music, not to mention their infamous live show. silent shout felt like it was meant to be scoring images and felt a bit lost because it wasn't made with that intent, if that makes sense. it couldn't fit anywhere because there was never another medium for it to really fit. so tackling an opera and the stage just completely breaks all barriers. i think it is a true follow up to their previous albums in that they collaborate with other audiences to fully bring out the vision they can't manipulate on their own. i mean, the knife soundtrack! it makes so much sense.
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound OffSamskeyti717: oh man lewis believes in tomorrow in a year
calebmcalpine: of course he does
Samskeyti717: cause it's good
calebmcalpine: yes. good.
calebmcalpine: 3/5
Samskeyti717: fuck you
these are my closing words on this album. thank you for your attention.
this is pretty insane
the knife more like the fork
oh, so it didnt rapidly decline in quality in the last like hour :P

Bowling for Columbine
Bowling for Columbine is a 2002 documentary film written, directed, produced, and narrated by Michael Moore. The film explores what Michael Moore suggests are the causes for the Columbine High School massacre and other acts of violence with guns. Moore focuses on the background and environment in which the massacre took place and some common public opinions and assumptions about related issues. The film looks into the nature of violence in the United States. The film brought Moore international attention as a rising filmmaker and won numerous awards, including the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, the Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary Feature, a special 55th Anniversary Prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and the C

It's a good thing Michael Moore became a filmmaker instead of a surgeon. If he was practicing medicine, Moore would probably have used a saw instead of a scalpel as his favorite implement, and he certainly would have left numerous wounds open and unstitched. However, Moore's peculiar . . . or should we say heavy-handed? . . . methods have served him well in the arena of documentary filmmaking. He's already used his trademark badgering interview style and sarcastic humor to confront corporate greed in the documentaries "Roger and Me" and "The Big One," as well as the television series "TV Nation" and "The Awful Truth." "Bowling for Columbine" may be what he's been building toward. It's decidedly less flippant than his previous works, which is not to say that it's completely without sarcasm and badgering. But it's much more solemn and serious and therefore better than anything he's made to date. There have been complaints in some corners about Moore being unfair in some of the film's interviews, and such accusations don't hold water. No one goes unindicted here, which is probably for the best. And if you're not nearly moved to tears by a couple of scenes, you've got ice water in your veins. (Be warned that there is newsreel footage of warfare and domestic violence that will almost certainly disturb sensitive viewers.) In "Bowling for Columbine," Moore attempts to explain why, as a country, America is so much more violent than most of its neighbors. He starts by investigating the connection between his hometown, Flint, Mich., and the Columbine school shootings. It turns out that the two shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, were products of impoverished suburban Michigan, an area that also produced the Michigan Militia (an organization tentatively linked with the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building). Then Moore turns his camera on shock-rocker Marilyn Manson (Harris and Klebold allegedly listened to his music). And the longtime member of the National Rifle Association also confronts NRA spokesman Charlton Heston about a decision to hold pro-gun rallies just days after tragedies such as the one in Columbine. The film has its share of horrifying and upsetting moments, but it also has the year's single most sublime moment, as Moore and two Columbine shooting victims attempt to persuade Kmart stores to stop selling ammunition. "Bowling for Columbine" is rated R for graphic, archival film of violence (including surveillance-camera footage from the Columbine High School shootings), occasional use of strong sex-related profanity and racial epithets.

Something to Prove
Un libro in lingua di Thornton Yvonne S. M.D. Bartholomew Anita (CON) edito da Kaplan, 2012
- € 10,40
- Il prezzo è variabile in funzione del cambio della valuta d'origine
The inspiring sequel to the acclaimed memoir The Ditchdigger's Daughters.
Dr. Yvonne Thornton's memoir The Ditchdigger's Daughters has captured the hearts of readers everywhere since it was first published in 1995. Translated into 19 languages, featured on Oprah, and made into a TV movie, this heart-warming and inspiring story chronicles Yvonne Thornton's family; at its center is her beloved, unschooled but wise father Donald Thornton, who demanded that all five of his daughters not only excel in school, but go on to become doctors. Four of them did; the other found her calling in law and became a lawyer instead.
Something to Prove picks up where The Ditchdigger's Daughters left off. In this sequel, Dr. Thornton reveals how she ascended to the top of her field as a physician by drawing on her father's teachings. Despite bias and setbacks, she became the first African-American woman to be board certified in the obstetrical sub-specialty of maternal-fetal medicine. Dismissed and shunned by her peers for entering the white, male-dominated world of academic medicine, Dr. Thornton relied on her father's life lessons, which taught her to be strong and rise above adversity. Though intelligence, determination, and hard work, Dr. Yvonne Thornton overcame the odds to reach the pinnacle of her profession.

Cape Town - A former attorney who specialised in claims against the Road Accident Fund (RAF), appeared in court on Wednesday, charged with stealing more than R6 million from RAF claimants and deceased estates.
Eslin Frank Meyer, 59, who had practices in Mitchell's Plain and Gordon's Bay, pleaded not guilty to charges of theft and failure to keep proper accounting records, when his trial commenced in September last year.
At the time of pleading, defence advocate Afzal Vallie told the court that Meyer elected to remain silent, and not to disclose his defence to the charges. He is on trial in the Specialised Commercial Crime Court in Bellville, before magistrate Sabrina Sonnenberg. His appearance on Wednesday was brief, and the matter was postponed for further trial to June 23 and his bail of R10 000 extended.
According to the charge sheet, he practised as Eslin Meyer Attorneys, but was interdicted from practising by the Cape Law Society five years ago, after 61 claims amounting to R6 441 657 were lodged with the Attorney's Fidelity Fund.
The prosecutor, senior state advocate Razia Valley-Omar, of the Western Cape Directorate for Public Prosecutions, alleges that, in some instances, Meyer retained for himself the full proceeds of payments made by the RAF, without informing the claimants that the RAF had paid their claims.
In other claims, he presented false payment advices to clients, paid only a portion of their claims and kept the rest for himself, it is alleged. Although there were 61 claims against the Fidelity Fund, the charge sheet lists the names of three RAF claimants, who were either "short-changed" or failed to receive any money at all from claims that had been paid out.
Similarly, it is alleged that huge amounts were paid into Meyer's trust accounts, as the proceeds of property sales pertaining to deceased estates, but not paid over to the executors of the estates.

The city of Rome has recently enacted a ban on eating and drinking near its famous monuments. In a place where gelato is plentiful and wine is as cheap as soda, this new regulation just seems cruel. Violators face charges of up to $80, and several people have already been slapped with hefty fines for savoring food and beer on the iconic Spanish Steps. While the ban seems a bit extreme, this isn't the first time the Italian capital has gone ban-anas.
In 2005, city officials banned goldfish bowls, the giving away of goldfish at fairs, and keeping goldfish in bowls. To this day, Roman officials still don't have a reason for this fishy rule, although Roman newspaper Il Messaggero cites the round bowls as a cause of blindness in fish. City councilor Monica Cirinna took a more noble approach. "It's good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence with their attention. The civilization of a city can also be measured by this." Nevermind history, gastronomy, or art — Rome's legacy will be the curbing of fish blindness.
