San Diego's former City Attorney wants ratepayers to get a refund on their utility bills.
Michael Aguirre says it's wrong that homeowners have been paying for defective steam generators at the San Onofre power plant.
Rates are ultimately set by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) but Aguirre says right now we are paying too much.
"Causing people to pay, when they don't have money, for defective products, is not something that should be imposed upon anyone, under any circumstances," Aguirre said.
Aguirre is making his claim to the PUC on behalf of a San Diego customer.
He wants the PUC to review the rates and refund customers money that has been collected for the faulty nuclear generators.
Aguirre says Southern California Edison, which runs the nuclear power plant, did not file the proper paperwork to be able to pass along charges to their customers.
And at the same time Aguirre questions why we are paying for steam generators that he says are defective.
The four steam generators installed at the 2,000 megawatt nuclear power plant have been shut down for more than a year because of tube wear.
The cost for those generators is being passed on to rate payers.
"Southern Cal Edison immediately stop collecting rates for the four steam generators that are defective," Aguirre said.
Ratepayers are footing the bill for those new generators every month through their electric bills. Aguirre says that's not the way it should work.
"There is a sufficient basis to request that the Justice Department step in and conduct a thorough grand jury investigation to determine if any of our federal laws have been violated," Aguirre said.
Now homeowners shouldn't plan on spending that extra money just yet.
Any battle over rates filed with the Public Utilities Commission can take years to resolve.
Spokesperson Stephanie Donovan with San Diego Gas & Electric said SDG&E has a 20 percent interest in the San Onofre plant.
Donovan said all claims would be decided by the PUC.

Worst Constitutional Law Movie Ever
When we think about the best legal movies ever, some candidates leap to mind immediately ("Twelve Angry Men," "A Civil Action," "Anatomy of a Murder," "Body Heat," (well, sort of)). What about the best movies about constitutional law? That's a tougher one. You could say "Amistad" or "1776" (sort of). Perhaps you have other nominees.
There is no doubt in my mind, though, that the worst constitutional law movie is "Tennessee Johnson," a 1942 biography of Andrew Johnson starring Van Heflin as the President and a sneering Lionel Barrymore as Thaddeus Stevens. This film comes straight out of the Dunning School interpretation of Reconstruction, by which I mean that Johnson is depicted as the hero and the Radical Republicans as the bad guys. Moreover, the scenes involving Johnson's impeachment trial are pretty ludicrous, especially when Johnson defends himself in the well of the Senate (which never happened) and a dying Senator casts the decisive vote for acquittal (that didn't happen either).
Johnson is one of those rare historical figures who started out as a man of honor (for being the only Southern Senator to reject secession), then became a creep (for blocking the Fourteenth Amendment), went back to being praised (during the Jim Crow era), and then back to being considered terrible.
UPDATE: Over on Volokh, a commenter points out that Gabriel Over the White House was worse. I think that's probably right, though I must admit that I've only read about that movie — never seen it.

QUEENSLAND Health has denied residents along the suburban rail corridor are at any risk from coal dust, claiming current levels fall within safe guidelines.
But some medical experts say coal particulates, a fraction of the width of a human hair and carried by the wind, can cause respiratory problems among vulnerable populations and pose a risk of long-term lung and heart disease.
Despite numerous studies about the potential danger, QH and the coal industry continue to downplay the dangers.
Sophie Dwyer, the executive director of health protection at Queensland Health, said people shouldn't be concerned.
"Queensland Health does not anticipate coal trains in city areas represent a public health risk, based on the probable large particle size of any coal dust emanating from passing trains and the likely low concentrations in inhaled air," she said.
Queensland's Chief Health Officer, Dr Jeannette Young, said "there is extensive evidence already existing regarding the levels of health risk that might be associated with various concentrations of coal dust in the air.
"This documented evidence allows us to make a judgment about the level of risk to a community associated with a particular concentration of coal dust in the air without having to test people generally."
But a major new health and coal-mining study authored by University of Sydney Medical School professor Ruth Colagiuri concluded "there are clear indications from the international health research literature that there are serious health and social harms associated with coal mining".
The health harms included "higher mortality rates from lung cancer, chronic heart, respiratory and kidney diseases" and increased hospitalisation, the study said.
Former University of Adelaide professor of medicine Dr David Shearman compares inhalation of the smallest coal particulates (PM2.5 and less) to smoking.
Larger particulates (PM10) lodge in the upper respiratory system, while smaller ones penetrate deeply in the the lungs.
"Generally it's an injurious problem," said Dr Shearman, secretary of Doctors for the Environment Australia. "Someone prone to asthma may have an asthma attack and, if exposed over many years, may develop a chronic disease in the heart and lungs."
"I think public health authorities have been very negligent on the issue; they haven't done studies to see if people are exposed."
While higher levels of coal dust exposure pose the greatest risk, "prudence should tell us any level can be harmful," he said.
QR National declined to comment on the health risks of moving coal.
PENSIONERS Jack and Audrey Rance, Tennyson residents for 16 years, are among those losing sleep and living in homes covered in black dust in Brisbane's coal train corridor.
The passenger and freight trains never used to bother them. Now the noise of screeching brakes and diesel engines, exhaust fumes and constant black dust from coal trains are a daily ordeal.
Black lines form in their swimming pool from the dust, and Mr Rance, who has asthma, worries generally about his health.
Annerley resident Peta Weatherley said black dust washed off her roof and collected in her rainwater tank filter. "A black film forms on my windowsills. Whether or not there's a danger we don't know," she said.
"I'd like to have more information. My daughter has some complicated health issues, I'm concerned for her sake. We don't have the ability to move."
Another Annerley resident Jacqueline Schneider believes the loads should be covered.
"There are quite a few schools along the railway lines as well. Trucks have to cover their loads. It's hard to understand why QR don't think it's necessary."
None of the residents interviewed along the rail corridor can understand why the coal wagons aren't required to be covered.
They are glad theGovernment has conducted air quality tests in Tennyson, but Mr Rance noticed a recent change. "Since they have been doing the monitoring, the trains have been travelling at a snail's pace," he said.

text: I'm sure there are tons of people running this setup, but I just wanted to know how bad it is backing up. Since a gear drive is reverse assist you have to pull it back, which you can't do while on a velke and even when getting off, the velke would be in the way. I want to know what people's experiences are that run a velke on a gear drive w/b. Any quick insight would be great. I found one on ebay that is local, and I may buy it tomorrow. It has been used 1 season, and he told me he would sell it to me for $100. Thanks

Stroll into Las Vegas history on a tour of the recently opened Neon Museum on Las Vegas Boulevard just north of Bonanza Road.
The bright lights and glitter that make Las Vegas visible from outer space include thousands of neon signs.
Las Vegas' first neon sign, designating the Oasis Cafe on Fremont Street, appeared in 1929. The town embraced the technology and turned it into an art form.
The Neon Museum was created to preserve these unique pieces of Las Vegas history, giving a home to retired signs that previously would have been cast aside and left to deteriorate into little more than junk.
The City of Las Vegas and the Southern Nevada Allied Arts Council teamed up in 1996 to form a nonprofit organization to save old signs. Early efforts restored a number of iconic signs for display as art downtown, a public gallery along Fremont Street and nearby side streets. Others stand in the median of Las Vegas Boulevard from just north of Washington Avenue to Sahara Avenue.
The Neon Museum, at 770 Las Vegas Blvd. North, opened for public visitation in October, attracting national attention. It is open everyday except Sundays and draws a steady stream of visitors.
The seashell-shaped lobby of the La Concha Motel, which formerly sat on the Strip next to the Rivera, houses the museum's visitor center. The eye-catching midcentury structure was taken apart and reassembled in its new downtown location.
Look for the famous high-heeled shoe sign from the Last Frontier's Silver Slipper Gambling Hall in the median in front of the Neon Museum. Turn into the driveway between the La Concha building and a new park to reach the museum's parking area.
Museum tours assemble in the repurposed motel lobby. Docents take groups of up to 20 visitors on the hourlong tour of the adjacent Neon Boneyard. Tours run every half hour from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Make reservations online at neonmuseum.org or call 702-387-6366. Out-of-state visitors pay $18 and residents $12. Tickets are $12 for seniors, students, veterans and active members of the military. Admission is free for children 6 and younger.
The docents point out the most recognizable of the 150 signs and sculptures at the Boneyard. The tour will be a nostalgia trip for folks with any history in Las Vegas, even casual visitors from years ago.
Many of the retired signs were simply replaced by newer versions. Others serve as some of the last remnants of businesses no longer in existence such as imploded Strip properties. The display includes a few fiberglass creations, such as the large skull from the pirate show at Treasure Island.
The Boneyard represents only a portion of the signs stored on the six-acre site. More are visible from beyond a walled area in the back. About 40 percent of the signs came from storage at Young Electric Sign Co., the biggest name in early Las Vegas neon. Many others were donated by businesses or rescued before demolition. Most date from 1930 to 1980.
Saving the signs will be an ongoing project for years. Not all are suitable for restoration. To be used in the street gallery projects, the signs must not be too large. Preference will be given to signs with historical significance. Some signs have more visual appeal. Others may show off animated graphics. After they are restored and installed, they must be maintained as long as they are in use. Therefore, fundraising also will be an ongoing concern.
Margo Bartlett Pesek's column appears on Sundays.

BEIJING, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Chinese tourism officials said citizens from 45 countries including the United States will now be able to visit China for 72 hours without acquiring a visa.
The new policy, which begins Jan. 1, will promote regional tourism and more easily allow short term business and weekend holiday travel, officials said.
Air China said the new policy will more easily allow international travelers to visit China on layovers or transfer flights in the country's airports. The airline said it would also begin working with Chinese local tourism agencies and guide companies to promote one- to three-day itineraries for international tourists.

Queen's University in Meccano bridge world record bid
Engineering students from Queen's University are hoping to set a new world record after building a footbridge - made entirely from Meccano - that will span more than 100ft across Belfast's Clarendon dock.
The temporary Meccano bridge will be unveiled today and representatives from Guinness World Records will be on site to confirm if the bridge has earned the record for the world's largest ever Meccano construction.
To get the record, the bridge must be over 23 metres long and 12 metres wide. Nearly 11,000 pieces of Meccano were used to build the structure, which weighs 600kg (1,300lbs).
It was designed and built by more than 100 civil engineering students and local high school students.
The university hopes to encourage more children to think about careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Dr Danny McPolin, a lecturer in civil engineering, spearheaded the year-long project, entitled The Big Bridge Build.
He said: "I wanted to do something more inspirational, push my students and set them a task that seemed impossible.
The bridge will be lit during the evenings of September 18-19, and dismantled on September 20.
The project received funding from the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure, AECOM, Meccano and Queen's Annual Fund with technical support and advice from McLaughlin and Harvey.
The results of the world record challenge will be announced at the bridge in Clarendon Dock on Saturday at 12.30pm.
The public is invited to go along and see for themselves - and create their own projects - at the build between 12pm and 3pm tomorrow.

text: (Adds futures prices, company news items) LONDON, Sept 25 (Reuters) - European equity futures rose on Friday, although the region's major indexes could still end the week with a loss following blows dealt to the market this week by an emissions test debacle at Volkswagen and new signs of a slowdown in China. The prospect of a U.S interest rate rise has also weighed on equities, and Federal Reserve head Janet Yellen said late on Thursday she expects the U.S. central bank to begin raising interest rates later this year as long as inflation remains stable and the U.S. economy is strong enough to boost employment. Nevertheless, European equity futures were up on Friday, partly helped by firmer oil prices. Futures on the euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50, Germany's DAX, France's CAC and Britain's FTSE 100 were all up between 1.4-1.6 percent. Volkswagen shares will be in focus again in the wake of the company's U.S. emissions test rigging scandal. Volkswagen will name Matthias Mueller, the head of its Porsche sports car brand, as its chief executive, a source close to the matter said on Thursday. California was also preparing a major enforcement action against Volkswagen over its admitted cheating on tailpipe emissions tests. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MARKET SNAPSHOT AT 0620 GMT LAST PCT CHG NET CHG S&P 500 1,932.24 -0.34 % -6.52 NIKKEI 17,880.51 1.76 % 308.68 EUR/USD 1.1153 -0.68 % -0.0076 USD/JPY 120.43 0.31 % 0.3700 10-YR US TSY 2.141 -- 0.02 YLD 10-YR BUND YLD 0.618 -- 0.03 SPOT GOLD $1,146.90 -0.58 % -$6.72 US CRUDE $45.30 0.87 % 0.39 > Asian shares erase gains, dollar gains as Yellen revives rate talk > US STOCKS-Wall St ends lower as Caterpillar, health stocks weigh > Nikkei edges down after weak inflation data, China woes > TREASURIES-U.S. bonds rise on stock losses, economic worries > FOREX-Dollar rebounds after Yellen keeps alive 2015 Fed rate hike view > PRECIOUS-Gold dips as Yellen says Fed on track to hike rates this year > METALS-London copper eyes largest weekly drop in two months > Oil prices stable as firm Chinese seasonal demand offsets weak Japan data COMPANY NEWS: ACCOR : The French hotel group is considering the possibility of transfering some 80 hotels in a new entity in which it would hold a minority stake, according to Les Echos newspaper.

To use kdesrc-build, you should have a file in your home directory called
.kdesrc-buildrc, which sets the general options and sets the modules
you would like to download and build.
It is possible to use different configuration files for kdesrc-build,
which is described in Chapter 4, Configuring kdesrc-build. If you need to use
multiple configurations, please see that section. Here, we will assume the
configuration is stored in
The easiest way to proceed is to use the
kdesrc-buildrc-sample file as a template, changing global
options to match your wants, and also change the list of modules you want to
The default settings should actually already be appropriate to perform a KDE build. Some settings that you may wish to alter include:
use-stable-kde to change the default version of KDE modules to build. By default kdesrc-build will build the trunk version of KDE. If you want to build the latest stable release of KDE instead of using your distribution packages you would set this option to
Note that this option relies on information available from the KDE project database, so this feature only works for these modules. See also the section called "Automatically finding modules from the official KDE module database".
kdedir, which changes the destination directory that KDE is installed to. This defaults to
~/kde, which is a single-user installation.
qtdir, which controls the path to the installation of Qt™ to use. The default is to use a Qt™ compiled by kdesrc-build, using the special qt module and the latest available source code. (
This also controls where to install qt.
svn-server, which selects what URL to download the sources from. This is useful if you are a developer with a KDE contributor account.
You will probably want to select different modules to build, which is described in the section called "Selecting modules to build".

Pre-Recap Thoughts: So I finally got a taste of our Joseon F4 in Joseon time, and I found it…interesting. 😉
Packed with more revelations–mystery finally solved, attempted murder thwarted twice, and our Joseon F4's readjustment to their time–this episode brings the story to a nice close. Yes, despite my slight dissatisfaction with the last scene of the series, but I'll save that for the "Final Thoughts" post. Without further ado, I present you with our last recap….
Recap: The episode opens with Yi Gak sitting meditation-style on the floor of a barn with livestock no less. Heh…What a juxtaposition between his royal quarters and this one. His body radiates with odd, shiny waves. When he realizes where he is and that he's getting some odd stares from the peasants, he walks out to the street…just as the Joseon police call for him to stop! As he starts running to evade the police, he runs into Chi San, who's barefoot and wearing his modern clothes. Uh-oh…I hope our little boy hasn't been running from the police since he transported back to the Joseon era.
They split up in order to evade the guards, and Yi Gak comes across Chi San on the ground, bleeding from the mouth. As Yi Gak rushes to his faithful servant fearing the worst, Chi San licks the ketchup from his lips. LOL. Realizing that Chi San is not really bleeding, Yi Gak stops cradling Chi San. Heh. The camera shot of the ketchup packet clutched tightly in Chi San's hand is hilarious!
As the two men walk the streets, this time undeterred by the police, Chi San complains that he's starving to death and that all he's had is the plastic wrap from the burger to keep him company. Yi Gak suggests hurrying to the palace, but Chi San reminds him that they'll be carted promptly to jail if they show up dressed in their modern clothes.
At that exact moment, Yi Gak spots Man Bo and Yong Sul enjoying a sumptuous chicken and rushes to join them. While Man Bo and Yong Sul greet Yi Gak, Chi San makes a beeline for the chicken and tears into it. Poor Chi San…he must have been starving. Once reunited, the four quickly apprise each other of their situations.
Yi Gak asks how they were able to buy food, and the two resourceful servants explain their sale of a pack of gum for the chicken. Yi Gak proclaims that he's thirsty and takes a big swig of a beer can…only to get NOTHING! Poor Yi Gak. It seems as though he never gets food. LOL. Yong Sul reports that they don't have any more beer and then mutters under his breath that Yi Gak should have packed his own. LOL. Yong Sul's burp is hilariously timed and adds insult to Yi Gak's injury.
Before Yi Gak has any time to lament the lack of a can of beer for himself, though, Man Bo presents Yi Gak's royal clothes, ones that he had thought to pack in his backpack for his prince.
Meanwhile, Bu Yong's father, Hong Man Pil, learns from his son that Prince Yi Gak has just returned to the palace…and in perfect health.
He turns to the mysterious man in his house and demands to know how this can be. Dramatically, Joseon Tae Moo lifts up his head and calmly walks out of the room with a long sword and kills the two assassins under his service for lying to him; they had told him that Prince Yi Gak had been dealt with last night.
While the villainous Joseon Tae Moo makes plans to remedy the failed assassination attempt, the F4 reconvene in Yi Gak's room and fill each other in on what they've discover: although they've spent months in Seoul, only one day has passed in Joseon time since they disappeared. Man Bo makes a comment about how his younger sister was disgusted and pushed him away when he tried to hug her after having not seen her for months. Yi Gak wonders if they dreamt the time travel, and the three minions deny such a thing. As they express their disbelief, they use modern expressions that cause Yi Gak to outwardly rebuke them–"When in Joseon, act like Joseon"–but inwardly smile at their modernisms. *Happy sigh* I really love their relationship! 🙂
Yi Gak quickly turns the topic to more serious matters and charges his faithful three to proceed with the investigation regarding the princess' death, first by arresting Bu Yong's family members.
The mother rushes in and asks her husband why their family is being suspected of murder when they are deep in mourning over the loss of their daughter. The husband simply replies that either he will die or the prince will…just as the royal guards barge into his room and arrest them.
Once the Hong family are gathered before him in their "captive" state (heh…the characteristic white clothes and disheveled hair made me chuckle), Yi Gak asks about Bu Yong's whereabouts. The answer? She's cloistered in her bedroom with a contagious disease and can't be seen. How convenient. Yi Gak then proceeds to tell his audience what really happened.
Several days ago, Bu Yong peers at the prince from behind a wall while Yi Gak takes a walk. Content at having gotten a glimpse of him, she turns to leave, trips, and spills the paper case of white powder on the floor.
As she unceremoniously tries to pick up the powder from her fallen state, Yi Gak walks up from behind her and begins to tease her. He tells her not to move and then offers his hand to lift her from the ground. Aw…
After learning that she's come to the palace to deliver a case of powder for his wife, he asks if she's solved his riddle yet and teases her when she confesses that she doesn't have an answer for him yet. (Jules: "like a boy pulling pig tails *sighs*") He reminds her that if she doesn't give him an answer by tomorrow, he'll win their little game. It's so telling how his face completely lights up when he's around her.
Bu Yong meets her sister and delivers the powder that their brother purchased from China as well as a letter from their father. As the princess reads the letter, Bu Yong reaches for the powder to get a closer look at this rare and valuable powder from China…only to have her sister coldly and quickly tell her to not touch the powder.
Noticeably shaken, the princess calls for glue so that she can reseal the incriminating letter and give it back to Bu Yong to return to their father as he requested.
She is so shaken that she doesn't even acknowledge the embroidered handkerchief that Bu Yong presents to her for Yi Gak.
After her odd meeting with her sister, Bu Yong returns home to find her father in conversation with a stranger. Sensing something in the air, Bu Yong asks her mother about their mysterious house guest and learns that he is none other than Prince Yi Gak's half-brother, an older brother who was kicked out of the palace at the age of three when his mother was removed from her position. When she tries to ask more questions, her mother quickly stops her and tells her that her father's business is none of their concern.
Later that evening as she sits embroidering, she reflects back on the various events of the day: powder that doesn't smell fragrant as a make-up powder should, the mysterious stranger, and the letter her father requested she bring back from her sister. At that reminder, Bu Yong remembers that she forgot to deliver the letter back to her father and reads the sealed letter for herself.
Discovering the murderous scheme afoot, Bu Yong changes quickly into her outdoor clothes and runs to the palace. Meanwhile, Joseon's Tae Moo learns that Bu Yong has learned of their plans and left the house for the palace. He orders his guards to stop her and kill her if necessary. Her brother flinches at that harsh command but is too afraid to do anything.
At the palace, Yi Gak and his wife prepare to share an evening snack of dried persimmons. The princess' task from her father? Receive the tray from the servant, distract her husband, and sprinkle the white powdery poison on the dried persimmons which will be nicely camouflaged by the sugary powder already on the persimmons. The princess does so by presenting her husband with another embroidered handkerchief, the one that Bu Yong delivered to her that very day.
Just as he's about to eat one of the persimmons, Bu Yong arrives and seeks an audience with the royal couple. Even though her sister reminds her that it's against the law for her to visit them so late at night, Yi Gak makes an exception and asks why she's come. Seeing the white powder already sprinkled on the persimmons, Bu Yong quickly tells him that she's solved the riddle, a reply that causes Yi Gak to laugh heartedly at her randomness. She gives him the answer to his riddle: Bu Yong, her own name but also another name for a lotus that must live to die and die to live; this is the concept behind rebirth.
Impressed by her wisdom, Yi Gak concedes defeats and grants Bu Yong her reward, one that she insists be given tonight. And what exactly does she ask for?
Those poisonous persimmons. At his surprise, Bu Yong tells him that there's nothing more dear and valuable to her than those persimmons right now. Aw…it's so heart-wrenching to know just what she's willing to sacrifice for him.
While Yi Gak and her sister look on, Bu Yong begins to eat her fill of those persimmons…one after another…in order to ensure that Yi Gak does not get the opportunity to eat them himself. Her shaking and clenched hands as she knowingly eats the poison underscores the import of her sacrifice.
Unable to see her sister eat her way to her own death, Hwa Yong turns her face away, tormented but unwilling to speak up to stop this madness because she knows that to do so will bring certain death upon her and her family.
After Bu Yong eats the majority of the persimmons, Yi Gak suggests that she return home since the hour is late. Mustering all of her remaining strength and courage, Bu Yong sincerely wishes her prince be at peace and dips into a deep bow. Knowing that this will be the very last time she will ever see him before her death, Bu Yong slowly walks backwards–as protocol dictates–out of the room. Once out of sight, Bu Yong staggers, finally showing the ill effects of the poison that she kept hidden from Yi Gak while in his presence.
Watching Yi Gak sleep, the princess silently leaves to meet her sister, who asked the servants to tell the Crown Princess, if she asked after Bu Yong, that Bu Yong will be waiting at Bu Yong Pond.
As Bu Yong makes her way to the pond, she weeps, sick and trembling from the poison, as she reminisces on her few moments with Yi Gak.
When Hwa Yong arrives at the pond, Bu Yong urgently asks her for one request; her dying wish is that her sister would protect the Crown Prince and suggests a plan that will save both her sister and their family: change clothes with her so that she will die as the "Crown Princess" and the poisoned death will never be discovered. Once her sister is no longer in the palace, their father will no longer scheme to depose the prince from power. In this way, everyone will be safe…except Bu Yong, of course. Sensing that she has very little time left, Bu Yong urges her sister to quickly change clothes with her.
Seeing her sister's imminent death before her, Hwa Yong agrees to the plan…
…while Joseon Tae Moo arrives at the pond and kills Hwa Yong's court ladies without a second thought.
In her last moments of life, Bu Yong writes a letter and carefully tucks it inside a hiding place despite her weakened state and coughs of blood.
As she stands before the pond, trying desperately to gather enough courage to kill herself for her prince and her family, the only thing that calms her enough and gives her motivation to take that decisive jump into the pond is Yi Gak. Voicing his name "Your Highness" for one last time, she falls into the pond and to her death.
As Yi Gak finishes relating the tale, the image of Bu Yong floating in the pond is superimposed with the image of Park Ha when she fell into the lake after protecting him from Tae Moo's car.
He demands confirmation from the Hongs that Bu Yong is indeed alive. The father vehemently denies that Bu Yong has died instead of the Crown Princess while the mother claims that Bu Yong has locked herself in her room because of her illness. No longer gullible to their ploys, Yi Gak orders that the Hongs' house be searched from top to bottom for Bu Yong. And to ensure that it's done properly, Yi Gak personally accompanies the guards in the search. *Heavy sigh* It's so heartbreaking…Despite knowing the truth, Yi Gak seems to harbor a small hope that Bu Yong is indeed still alive and not dead as he suspects.
And as suspected, Yong Sul finds "Bu Yong" huddled in a storage room. Just as Yi Gak reaches out to unmask Hwa Yong, however, his half-brother and his men attack.
A small skirmish ensues, and Joseon Tae Moo is able to shoot what should have been a fatal arrow at Yi Gak's chest. Thankfully, Yi Gak is unharmed and Joseon Tae Moo and his men are apprehended.
With the fight now over, Yi Gak quickly returns to Hwa Yong and removes her veil.
As she begs for her life and his forgiveness, he spits out that it's not his forgiveness that she should be asking but rather Bu Yong's.
When his faithful minions ask how he survived the arrow, Yi Gak pulls out the dented pendant, the very pendant that Park Ha had given him as a wedding gift with the specification that he never remove it from his chest. Aw…I know it's a bit heavy-handed of the show, but I love that Park Ha AND Bu Yong both save Yi Gak's life in the Joseon era.
Once back at the palace, Yi Gak delivers his judgment on the traitors.
To the half-brother that he had thought of with fondness, death! To Bu Yong's father and brother, death! Hong Man Pil had plotted to kill Yi Gak because he feared possible retribution from Yi Gak once Yi Gak became king for taking part in having Yi Gak's mother killed. *Heavy sigh* How sad that Hong Man Pil didn't realize that Yi Gak would have been lenient to his father-in-law out of consideration for his wife. As for Bu Yong's mother and sister, in view of Bu Yong's wishes, Yi Gak sentences them to life on an island, never to step off of said island.
With the beheadings and exiles executed, Yi Gak walks slowly through his palace, lost in his memories of Park Ha.
As he enters the building by Bu Yong Pond, he notices that the butterfly on the partition paneling shimmers and, upon closer inspection, discovers the letter Bu Yong hid inside the partition.
In the letter, Bu Yong writes that if he's reading this letter, she's glad for it means that he is well and alive. She continues that there is one advantage to death and that is that she can freely confess her feelings for him. She writes that she loved him and that she has always loved him. Reciting part of his riddle, she writes that whether dead or alive, she will love him for centuries to come.
Walking by the pond, Yi Gak cries silently, thinking of her sacrifice. Then struck by an epiphany, he rushes to write a letter to Park Ha, telling her that he's arrived safely.
He leaves it in the hiding place he showed Park Ha in a previous episode, hoping that she will think to look for it in her time.
And just as he hoped, Park Ha makes her way to the secret hiding place and discovers his letter, a letter now yellowed from age.
As Park Ha numbly goes about her daily life, Yi Gak's voice is heard reading his letter to her, expressing his longing to see her, touch her, and simply be with her. In the middle of his voiceover, Tae Yong, now miraculous awake from his coma, visits Park Ha's juice shop. As he gazes at her while she absentmindedly fixes his apple juice, Yi Gak voices how he regrets not having told her more that he loves her, that he misses her so much that he feels as though he's going crazy…this voiceover makes it sound as though Tae Yong is Yi Gak voicing those words.
Meanwhile, our faithful minions have set up an omurice restaurant in Joseon, complete with homemade ketchup! When Man Bo comments on the saltiness of the previous batch's ketchup, emphasizing that the most important part of the omurice is the ketchup, Chi San tunes him out by listening to his music. Aw…what's Chi San going to do when the battery dies? LOL. Into this little fracas between Chi San and Man Bo enters Yong Sul, who reminds Chi San that they have a delivery to make.
To whom? To none other than their beloved Prince Yi Gak, who paces the room waiting for their delivery. Heh…At his complaint that they are late, they retort that it would make things easier for them if the prince were to come to their restaurant to eat. Quickly changing into their colorful tracksuits, the F4 dig into their omurice, the minions eating on the floor while Yi Gak eats at his little table. Aw…the boys packed their tracksuits.
When Yi Gak starts to tear up in remembrance of Park Ha, Man Bo offers him a Park Ha candy as dessert. Slowly savoring the candy as though eating the candy brings him a bit closer to Park Ha, Yi Gak quickly shoots Yong Sul a vicious glare when Yong Sul thoughtlessly chews it. LOL. Oh, poor Yong Sul. He got glared at for not chewing, and now, he gets glared at for chewing the candy. LOL. Not only does he get glared at by Yi Gak, but his two buddies beat him with spoons and fists for his thoughtless action–chewing the park ha candy. LOL
Back in present day Seoul, Park Ha finds a postcard, one drawn by Tae Yong, wedged between her store's door asking her to meet him at the North Seoul Tower at 5PM.
He magically appears next to her and asks why she's kept him waiting so long, referring to his first invitation back in New York. She replies that she's been right here all the time; where was he? Then as Tae Yong offers her his hand…
Korean drama magic happens, and he transforms into Yi Gak before her eyes..
Yi Gak expresses his love for her despite the 300 years, and Bu Yong's voice is also heard confirming her everlasting love for him.
Post-Recap Thoughts: Yes, I finally got to recap this episode. 🙂 I'll keep the post-recap thoughts short since this post will be quickly followed by a "Final Thoughts" post on the series. However, I did have a few comments to make about this episode.
The humor and attention to detail (Chi San's ketchup, dented pendant, the Joseon F4's tracksuits, etc.) lightened what could have been an otherwise heavy episode. The series continues to take a different spin on the little things that made the series all the more special. I mean, how many of you were surprised by the omurice restaurant our little minions set up? Then to incorporate the modern concept of deliveries by making deliveries to Yi Gak at the palace? Priceless! 🙂
As for the ending itself, I'll discuss in the "Final Thoughts and Review" post.
All in all, I found this last episode enjoyable. My only disappointment was that the writer did not offer a unique ending but instead opted to go for the cliched ending. *Disappointed Sigh* I was really curious how the writer was going to resolve this quandary of Yi Gak and Park Ha. At least the ending is a happy one, right?
Thanks for your patience! I hope you enjoyed this long-awaited recap! 🙂

Yep, this is a mousepad with boobies on the front – life-size boobies mind you, so if boobies (or mousepads) offend you, move along. Said boobies are to designed to give your wrist support. What kind of demented game is Dead or Alive Extreme 3 anyway? This girl looks like she has five nipples on her right breast.
Al Bundy once said his perfect woman would have three hooters, one on the back for dancing, not five nipples. The characters on the mousepads are Honoka and Marie Rose if you are wondering. Apparently, life size boobie mouse pads have a name in Japan- 等身大おっぱいマウスパッド or toushindai oppai mausu paddo.
The mousepads weigh 2100 grams, with 1600 of that weight in soft and squishy mousepad boobies. I hope your desk is at least DDD sized. These gals would have some back issues in the real world.

A popular nurse at the Denver General Hospital AIDS clinic was forced to resign last week--under the threat of being fired--for bending the city's residency rule. The rule requires that city employees, including those at the hospital, live within the city and county of Denver.
However, nurse Georgia Caven contends that, despite owning a home outside the boundaries and admitting that she generally sleeps there, she was not in violation of the rule. She rents a Denver apartment, and she votes, files taxes and gets her nursing and driver's licenses in the city.
"But I don't have the money or the energy to fight this," she says. By tendering her resignation last Thursday, she will be allowed to stay on at the hospital until January 5. Otherwise, she would have been fired immediately. The city decided she was in violation after a hearing in early October.
Other employees of the hospital have urged Caven to take her case to court. They have even discussed the idea of forming a legal fund to assist her.
The Colorado Supreme Court has upheld the residency rule in the past, as have city voters. However, in Caven's case, the question wouldn't be whether the residency rule was itself unconstitutional, but rather: What constitutes residency?
Is it where you sleep at night? Or where you pay taxes, work and spend most of your time?
In Caven's case ("Denver or Busted," September 14), does it matter that she spends her free time volunteering at city homeless shelters and otherwise helping Denver's most destitute men, women and children?
Caven says she would like to fight. But she would be responsible for whatever legal bills there are above what the legal fund would cover--something she's been told could cost her more than $20,000. "And I just can't risk that," she says.
C.L. Harmer, spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Hospitals, says of Caven's choice of resigning or being fired, "That's the way it's been for people who get caught."
It isn't the first time that a DGH nurse has fought the system. In the spring of 1993 a nurse sued the Department of Health and Hospitals, contending that the rule was being enforced inconsistently--and that it was being used in this case to punish her specifically because she resisted a transfer to night duty. The court agreed, and she was reinstated to her job. The Career Services Authority, which oversees city employee matters, also blasted DGH and Health and Hospitals administrators.
However, the ruling didn't change the residency law and, rather than move within the boundaries, the nurse resigned after one day. A short time later Mayor Wellington Webb said employees who broke the rule, as well as supervisors who aided them, would be subject to disciplinary action, including termination. The department stepped up efforts to ensure compliance.
Caven, who was hired for the DGH emergency room from another hospital outside the city, moved into Denver in the early 1980s to comply with the rule, absorbing a $20,000 loss from the sale of her home in Golden. Several years later, after being physically assaulted at her Denver apartment, she purchased a second home outside the city to sleep in--while renting the Denver apartment to comply with her interpretation of the rule.
Reaction at the AIDS clinic is one of anger. Caven is known for work habits that go above and beyond the call of duty, including visiting patients after work hours in hospices and at their homes.
Some patients threatened last week to stage a protest on the hospital campus. Many have only a short time to live and have counted on Caven to see them through to the end.
"But [city and department administrators] don't give a flying rip about my patients," says Caven, who notes that many of them are gay. "Only their rule. These patients are disenfranchised as a group in the first place. This is just one more thing being done to them."
Dr. Adam Myers, who heads the oncology unit at the AIDS clinic and who hired Caven there, says losing the nurse will cause a great amount of disruption and additional misery for the patients. Caven, he says, not only performed as a registered nurse but also was often the patients' main link to available health and social-service programs and between the clinic and hospices.

"I still can't believe it's going to happen," Myers says. "I'm numb."
There is a possibility that Caven may be hired by the Visiting Nurses Association to continue the connection for patients between the DGH clinic and their homes. The position will require federal funding.
Caven says she hopes the funding comes through so she doesn't lose contact with her patients. But even if she gets the job, she will take a large salary cut and will lose her seniority and other accrued benefits after nearly fifteen years at DGH.
Caven, in a letter to the mayor, wrote, "There are people selling drugs during work time, fudging on the number of hours they work, burned out on their duties, unkind and disrespectful to the patients, and barely producing the minimum requirement for job performance.
"And they remain honored employees, while I am losing my job.

Jefferson awards set for May 21PORT TOWNSEND — The recipients of the 2013 Jefferson County Heart of Service award will be honored later this month.
The Heart of Service recognizes outstanding community work that has made a difference — and that has made Jefferson County a better place.
This year's recipients will be announced in the Peninsula Daily News next Sunday, May 12.
Nominations for the Heart of Service are made annually to the PDN, and the recipients are selected from those nominations by a blue-ribbon judging committee that includes leaders of the three Jefferson County Rotary Clubs.
The award ceremonies — open to the public — begin at noon Tuesday, May 21, in the Maritime Meeting Room at the Northwest Maritime Center, 431 Water St. in downtown Port Townsend.
Peninsula Daily News
Such deeds epitomized those honored with the annual service award during ceremonies before an audience of more than 200 on Thursday in the fellowship hall at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Port Angeles.
"I love our veterans," Money said.
"What would our country be if we didn't have them?"
The community service award honors the "dedication, sacrifice and accomplishments" of community leaders and volunteers "who have made a difference in Clallam County, who have made our communities a better place by doing extraordinary things for their neighbors, their community or the environment."
The other 2013 honorees are:
■ Leo Campbell, a retired Marine Corps major who has led Port Angeles High School's NJROTC — Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps — by example since 2003 and has poured thousands of service hours into the Port Angeles community, both as an individual and through inspiring the students of the NJROTC unit.
■ Thelma McCoy, an accomplished pianist who has given not only her talents to the North Olympic Peninsula's musical community but also her skill and passion as a teacher to aspiring musicians.
■ Chuck Preble, a tireless organizer, engineer and "boots on the ground" dynamo who has for years led efforts to build and extend the Olympic Discovery Trail.
■ Shawnna and Dan Rigg, a couple whose passion for lending a hand compels them into myriad arenas of community service in the Sequim area.
■ Janet Young, whose dogged enthusiasm and tenacity took her all the way to Olympia to secure money to build the Peninsula's first fully functional Americans With Disabilities Act-compliant playground in Port Angeles' Shane Park, named for her son, who died of injuries suffered there when it was being constructed in 1973.
A panel of judges selected the recipients from a field of 32 who were nominated by individuals, clubs, churches, businesses and other organizations.
The award was begun by the Peninsula Daily News 34 years ago and is now co-sponsored by the Soroptimist International of Port Angeles-Noon Club.
Venay Money
The recognition for Money came fewer than six months after she received the state Department of Veterans Affairs' 2012 Outstanding Service to Veterans Award.
"It means so much to me to get these awards, but you know, just helping the veterans is the biggest reward you could have," she said.
Money noted that the North Olympic Peninsula has one of the highest per-capita veterans populations in the state, with about 15,000 veterans in Clallam and Jefferson counties.
Leo Campbell
One such veteran, Campbell, plans to move to Sioux Falls, S.D., to receive treatment at a specialty veterans hospital for a service-related leg injury.
He thanked his fellow NJROTC instructor, retired Navy Master Chief Petty Officer Jeff Perry; his cadets; their parents; and his wife, Brenda.
"I wish I could be the person that my wife is," Campbell said.
"I'm blessed to have her. She makes me be the person I want to be."
Eight nomination letters came in from colleagues, friends and students extolling Campbell's virtues as a selfless teacher, always willing to give.
Thelma McCoy
McCoy was lauded for her dedication to teaching thousands of musicians, many of whom went on to prestigious schools and careers in music, said Joan Quigley, a longtime friend of McCoy who introduced her.
McCoy said she and her husband, Dick, settled in the Port Angeles area because of their love of the mountains and water.
"It's the greatest place on Earth," she said.
Chuck Preble
Preble was "instrumental" in the construction of new segments of the Olympic Discovery Trail, especially the latest stretch between 10th Street in Port Angeles and Lower Elwha Road, Port Angeles City Councilwoman Brooke Nelson said.
"Without his drive, management acumen and keen leadership skills, the section of trail traversing the old Milwaukee Railroad grade may not have been accomplished until many years later," Nelson said.
Preble prepared multiple grant proposals, established an Adopt-a-Trail system, co-wrote a handbook and serves as vice president of the Peninsula Trails Coalition.
He said many individuals, businesses and local governments have assisted in the expansion of the ODT.
"Never underestimate the value of a volunteer," Preble said.
"The community wanted that trail to happen, and whatever we needed, somehow it was made to work."
Shawnna and Dan Rigg
Shawnna Rigg took over the Sequim youth baseball league when it was on the brink of collapse about six years ago, Sequim real estate broker Mike McAleer told the audience at the award ceremonies.
"Dan joined her as the go-to guy for the league, and together, they saved it to ensure its stability today," McAleer said.
Without government assistance, the Riggs built a softball field that draws teams to Sequim from all over the region.
The couple also are involved with the Sequim Irrigation Festival and volunteer at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula and food bank in Sequim.
Janet Young
Port Angeles Mayor Cherie Kidd, who co-hosted the ceremony, said Young "had a vision" for the Port Angeles park and formed a fundraising committee that helped the city pay for a state-of-the-art ADA-interactive playground that was dedicated April 27.
"Her committee took off like a rocket ship," Kidd said.
"She lives across from the park and saw a need for children to play, and realized we needed a playground. Not just any playground, but a playground of significance."
Young said the community support was "overwhelming."
"The whole community stepped up," she said.
"My committee was absolutely awesome — hardworking, never said no to anything, rolled up their sleeves, stepped up to the plate and got things done. I definitely didn't do it alone."
The award recipients received framed certificates.
'Unselfish efforts'
"This is a day about seven people whose unselfish efforts have made Clallam County a better place," said John Brewer, PDN publisher and editor.
Brewer said the 2013 award recipients are "inspirational in both spirit and deed" and "heroic in the most untrivialized sense of that word."
"These are everyday people who have improved our community," Brewer added.
"They have made a meaningful difference in the lives of neighbors and communities. They have inspired and engaged others to get things done."

So glad to have found this MSU "fishing" shirt. Will be nice and cool for outdoor events. One caveat: The Columbia brand seems to run a size large. Ordered a medium for my husband (his normal size) and it fits more like a large. Afraid a small might be too small, so keeping the medium.

Nice informative box this is, easy to open and follow the heating instructions given.
The Meal Itself:
You are given two ways of cooking this. In the microwave it will take about 9 minutes and a conventional oven in around about 45 minutes. To me this is meant to be fast food so I always pop this type of meal in the microwave.
Once cooked you get a meal that pretty much looks like the photograph on the box. It all comes in one tray so you have to separate it well, but thats easy enough to do so.
What you get is lots of thick and juicy chicken chunks that is well seasoned and tastes and looks good quality (this is breast by the way) and the reddish, sweet sauce contains flecks of red peppers and some chopped up water chestnuts and bamboo shoots and there is a flavouring of sweet tomatoes, garlic and ginger to it. The sauce is thick and plentiful though the ingredients used are more well coated than swimming in sauce and its really, really tasty and smells wonderful and looks appetising.
The white rice is perfect and al dente. Not at all seasoned (use your own if desired of course), this is not too moist but not one bit dry and simply well cooked through and good quality.
The whole of the meal is tasty though there isn't a huge amount of food and I felt it wasn't very big for a main meal but what there was, was tasty and very tasty indeed and I wouldn't hesitate in purchasing this time and time again in the future!

Available in all good supermarkets etc and if not on offer at about £1.50 a box.
I popped into the local supermarket and saw this Sharwood's product, amongst others, on offer for £1. I picked up a mix of about 10 different meals, and had this one for tea today.
The packaging is quite appealing, giving the impression of a big meal inside it. It tells you the different levels of spiciness and gives you a brief calorific content and other nutritional elements on the front. The picture shows a mound of chicken in a sauce on a bed of rice. The reality isn't too far removed from this, but it's not quite as visually appealing as the picture on the front would have you believe.
The meal comes frozen, and takes 8 minutes to cook in the microwave. You don't actually get a great deal of food on the plate, and if you have a hearty appetite, then two meals are probably going to be what you need to fill you up. The rice is tasty enough, and the chicken part is really nice. There's a little spice kick, but nothing too much, and it doesn't make your throat burn or anything.
The mix of chicken, red peppers, water chestnuts and the spicy sauce are lovely, in fact. I really think this was a bargain meal in terms of the taste. Sure, you don't get a lot of food on the plate, but what you do get tastes great. Nutritionally, it gives you around the 500 calory mark just for this meal, and it's quite high in sugars as well. Ready meals aren't really the most ideal thing for calory counting, but if you need a meal that's quick and hassle free to make, then this is a good option to go for. Sharwood's do a decent range of food, with condiments as well as meals, and this is just as good as others I have had, and I recommend trying it.
I'm not usually a fan of chinese ready meals as they never usually taste anything like the chinese dishes which you might have from a chinese restaurant or a take-away. However, it was lunch time at work, i was very hungry and these ready meals were on offer at my local tesco, priced at £1, so I thought I would give one a try.
The packaging is very attractively decorated with the incorporation of traditional eastern colours and designs, and the nutritional information clearly displayed on the front. There is also an illustration to show how the food will when cooked, which is actually quite accurate.
The meal was cooked using a microwave, which took no time at all (timing depends on power of microwave). The smells whilst it was cooking were making my mouth water, so I couldn't wait to try it.
Once the dish was served on to the plate you could see the very reasonably size chunks of chicken and they were tender as the box described. There was also crunchy red peppers, water chestnuts and onion in the Szechuan sauce. The sauce wasn't too spicy at all and was very tasty. I think this dish would be enjoyed by most people.
The draw back to the meal is that it's not a very healthy option. There are over 500 calroies in the dish and whopping 33.1 grams of sugar. However on the plus side, there are no artificial flavourings or colourings and no hydrogenated fat.
Sharwoods Spicy Szechuan Chicken with Rice Meal is part of a new range of frozen ready meals produced by the popular brand Sharwoods who are probably best known for producing noodles, stir fry sauces and chutneys. The new range is called Taste of China and also includes a Sweet and Sour Chicken with Rice Meal and a Chicken in Black Bean Sauce with Rice Meal.
The meal comes in a plastic tray with cellophane over the top, packaged in a cardboard box. The box describes the meal as 'Tender pieces of chicken breast in a spicy Szechuan sauce, with red peppers, water chestnuts and onion'. The box has a scrummy looking picture of the finished meal on the front, along with a pair of chopsticks to give it a Chinese vibe! I must admit I eat mine with a knife and fork though!
The meal is really easy to cook. It doesn't have to be defrosted first so it's really convenient as you don't have to plan ahead. You can just take it out of the freezer and cook it in either the oven or the microwave. I always put it in the microwave and it takes just nine minutes which makes it a very fast and simple meal.
Once the meal is on the plate it smells great and you can see straight away that unlike some ready meals where the 'meat' part is mostly sauce, there are quite a few good sized chunks of chicken in it. The taste of the meal is lovely, it has a bit of a kick to it but it is not too spicy for me and I would think most people would be able to handle the spice. The rice is pleasant, the meat seems of a reasonable quality and the vegetables are tasty and crunchy.
The only drawback to this meal is that it has 550 calories and a huge 33.1 grams of sugar. This is a massive amount of sugar and is quite shocking really. However the box does say that there are no artificial flavourings or colourings and no hydrogenated fat which is a good thing.
Normally this meal will cost between £1.50 and £2, but it is currently on offer at Asda along with the rest of the range for just £1 which I think makes it a great bargain.

According to a recent report by Ventures Middle East, the construction contracts in the country are set to reach $17.5 billion by the end of 2014 from $9.8 billion in 2011. Among the major infrastructure projects under various stages of planning and construction are Kuwait International Airport (KIA) re-development project, Kuwait Metro project, and the Kuwait National Rail Road System.
Airport Expansion
The $698.5 million KIA redevelopment project is one of the key projects in Kuwait, which includes improvement of airport buildings and enhancement of other facilities such as fire stations, rescue centers and service roads. The planned expansion will increase the airport's annual capacity to 20 million passengers. Likewise, the construction of the second terminal worth $3.3 billion will be able to handle 13 million passengers annually during the first phases, with plans to increase to 25 million and 50 million during subsequent phases.
Infrastructure Development
The $7 billion Kuwait Metro project is another vital project currently in the stages of design and supervision. Nearly 65 per cent underground, the Metro will cover more than 160 km, comprising 69 stations on its three lines. Lastly, the Kuwait National Rail Road System to be built at an investment of $10 billion will be an integrated rail network with a total length of 511 km double track. To be built on a "build, operate and transfer" (BOT) basis, the project is currently in the final process of design with budget and allocation being already made and the tendering process expected to commence soon.
Andy White, Group Event Director, The Big 5 Kuwait, Kuwait's largest building and construction exhibition, said, "The demand for fresh technology and new building material is on a steady rise in Kuwait, driven by a robust performance of the construction and infrastructure sector. The total cost of infrastructure and construction projects in 2014 will touch $23.2 billion. All this activity strongly supports the need for The Big 5 Kuwait, which is set to present the latest tools and equipments for the construction sector during its second edition. With a greater exhibition area on offer, we are confident that we will continue to provide industry professionals with an opportunity to source new and international products, a place to network and also an opportunity to continue their professional development through the series of free to attend educational features."

A government militia member sits in front of the scene of a mortar attack in the Liberian capital Monrovia Monday. Fighting entered its 10th day in the war-torn West-African capital.
Ben Curtis/AP
MONROVIA, Liberia - Rebels captured Liberia's refugee-choked second-largest city Monday, defeating President Charles Taylor's embattled forces on a new front and depriving him of his last significant port outside the besieged capital.
The capture of the strategic city of Buchanan, 60 miles southeast of Monrovia, the capital, came as deliberations on a peace mission for the West African nation showed no sign of progress.
Gen. Benjamin Yeaten, a leading government commander, confirmed that Buchanan fell to fighters from Liberia's second rebel group, the Movement for Democracy in Liberia, by nightfall.
Yeaten said government troops remained on the outskirts of the city and were planning a counterattack.
Taylor's forces took off running as rebels advanced into Buchanan, said John Mensah, a resident reached by telephone there, who added the rebels were ''now in complete control of Buchanan.''
During the rebel takeover, the Buchanan office of the international humanitarian group Merlin was looted, according to Merlin office workers in the capital.
The attack and quick victory at Buchanan came as Liberia's leading rebel movement, Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy, pressed its bloody 9-day-old siege of Monrovia, in fighting that has killed hundreds.
''Taylor must go,'' said Joe Wylie, spokesman for the leading rebel movement, saying only international ''whining about civilian casualties'' was stopping insurgents from a final push to topple the Liberian leader.
''He's getting weaker and weaker,'' Wylie said. ''He should not face us in a final military showdown that will just take lives.''
Rebel forces now hold more than 60 percent of Liberia, grinding down Taylor's forces in their three-year battle to oust him.
The Movement for Democracy in Liberia, which until recently had largely heeded cease-fire pledges, claimed Taylor's forces had provoked the offensive on Buchanan with attacks on rebel positions outside the city in recent days.
Rebel official Boi Bleaju Boi pledged insurgents would open the southeastern city's port up to peace forces, should they choose to land there.
Tens of thousands of refugees from the capital in recent days had flooded east into Buchanan, desperate to escape the shelling, grenade blasts and machine-gun fire of Monrovia.
On Monday, many took flight again, picking their way back along the coast toward Monrovia.
Liberian Defense Minister Daniel Chea had rushed overnight to the developing eastern front, which brings the smaller, but better-armed and better-disciplined second rebel movement into active battle against Taylor's already stretched-thin forces.
Chea, contacted by telephone, told The Associated Press that rebels of the Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy had also taken the northern town of Gbarnga, Taylor's base during a ruinous 7-year civil war that Taylor launched in 1989.
Fighting in Liberia often sees back-and-forth battles for towns, with one side capturing a community, then retreating.
Taylor, a former warlord behind 14 years of nearly constant conflict in once-prosperous Liberia, is holed up in his seaside mansion in Monrovia.
His forces in the capital are battling to turn back rebel drives toward downtown, the heart of Taylor's government.
Rebels hold the capital's port, and with it food and vital aid for the desperate city of more than 1.3 million and its surrounding refugee camps.
Monrovia's port reverberated with machine gun fire and grenade blasts Monday as government forces fought off two rebel pushes over bridges linking the port to downtown, Yeaten said.
Government fighters claimed to be back in control Monday of a northern capital suburb around one span, Stockton Bridge, after rebels gained a foothold on Monrovia's mainland over the weekend. Residents trickled out, with many uncertain whether to stay or run.
''Some of us thought our days on Earth had ended,'' street evangelist Jenkins Nagbe, clutching a Bible in one hand, a plastic bucket of his belongings in the other.
Near the port, a rocket fired by government forces from a high building fell short. Crashing into the bedroom of a home, it wounded eight people inside, aid workers said.
Bombardments have killed hundreds of civilians since the latest rebel siege of the capital began July 19.
The rebel forces are allegedly backed by neighboring Guinea and Ivory Coast, who blame Taylor for cross-border attacks that threaten their own stability.
Reopening of hostilities on the second front came with military and diplomatic representatives of West African nations, the United Nations and the United States meeting in Accra, Ghana, for another day of talks on a peace force for Liberia.
West Africans have promised such a mission since soon after rebels launched their siege of the capital in early June.
The United States, which oversaw Liberia's 19th century founding by freed American slaves, has pledged support.
It insists Liberia's neighbors and the United Nations must take the lead.
President Bush on Friday ordered troops to take up position off Liberia's Atlantic coast in readiness for any peace mission.
Disputes over funding have helped slow deployment, however, with debt-strapped Nigeria - West Africa's military power - asking for more financial assistance from the United States.
Nigerian Brig Gen. Festus Okwonkwo, who would oversee any Nigerian mission, called deployment this week ''unlikely'' as he went into meetings with representatives of other West African countries, U.N. peacekeeping operations and the U.S. military's European Command.
Okwonkwo said the United States was promising only logistical assistance and support at Monrovia's port. He didn't elaborate.
Under daily shelling, Monrovia's people speak of rescue with increasing despair.
''We are hoping that the peacekeeping forces are coming this week to relieve us of all this misery,'' said the Rev. Franklin Holt, president of the capital's downtown Monrovia College, where up to 2,000 people have taken shelter in the campus' concrete buildings.
''They are very late,'' Holt said of the peacekeepers, as fresh mortar blasts rocked downtown. ''Extremely late.''

The recent dust-up at the Vista courthouse between a veteran Superior Court judge and prosecutors who work for District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis stands as an intriguing, if troubling, contrast to Dumanis' set-to with another veteran judge in the main courthouse downtown.
Last week, prosecutors filed a motion arguing that Superior Court Judge Harry M. Elias should remove himself from a case because he had displayed bias against the District Attorney's Office.
The ostensible evidence of Elias' bias? His public chiding of prosecutors for failing to turn over evidence to the defense as required. Elias, a former prosecutor who has been on the bench since 1990, said the District Attorney's Office had failed to follow the same rules in other Vista cases as well. He added that some fellow judges believe the practice is "deliberate and intentional." He counseled prosecutors to be concerned about their office's reputation "because it's not good." Elias dismissed the prosecutors' motion and remains on the case.
Another judge, speaking privately this week, seconded Elias' view, but pinned the problem on prosecutors' inexperience and poor training, rather than on a conscious flouting of the rules.
Either way, it is a serious matter if multiple North County judges see a pattern of sloppiness or misconduct. The public's interests would be better served if Dumanis and her managers concentrated on addressing it, rather than attacking the messenger.
But we can at least give Dumanis and her deputies credit is this instance for making their objections, however misguided or oversensitive they may have been, public.
In the separate matter of Dumanis' blanket challenge – lifted this week – to Judge John Einhorn in the San Diego courthouse, she has yet to explain what nettled her and her deputies to the degree that they refused to bring any cases before him for about four months. We are glad to learn that Dumanis' irritation at Einhorn, a highly respected judge, has been soothed, but continue to deplore her refusal to explain what prompted such a step in the first place, or her reasons for lifting the boycott.
Was it peevish gamesmanship, as many in the legal community believe, or did Dumanis have legitimate grounds?
The taxpaying public – which, after all, employs Dumanis and the judges as public servants – has no way to evaluate the matter unless the district attorney goes on the record as she did in Vista.

Kelli Buschwrote a review of I/O Bio Merino Signature Pocket Hooded Sweater - Women's on November 5, 2011
Great Extra Layer
If you're looking for an extra layer that's not too hot for your bike ride/run/walk on a chilly morning, this is a great article of clothing to have. If you get a little sweaty the wool wicks away the moisture while keeping you warm. The sleeves and back are long enough to keep your arms and lower back covered while stretched out or hunched over on your bicycle. The hood is not very bulky and easily fits under your helmet if you want to keep your ears warm.

Remote Desktop Connection defaults (Disconnect confirmation)
Windows 7 Professional. All the latest updates, etc. I use Remote desktop Connection(s) to connect to 6 headless 2008 R2 servers. Recently, when I clicked on the "X" to disconnect, I made the mistake of ticking the block that said "Do not ask again" for the disconnect CONFIRMATION. Now when I disconnect I never get asked "are you sure?"......
I want the disconnect confirmation back! For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get it back. I have looked in the local group policy editor, the registry and in the connection manager.
Does anyone know how to get the confirmations back?
Thank you for any and all advice on this.

Thanks. Looks good. Unfortunately, either I am doing something wrong or I have misunderstood what the purpose of the RDC 8 for Windows 7 is for.
I installed the hotfix for DTLS, downloaded and installed RDP 8 update for Windows 7.1 SP1 and enabled the policy as outlined in the KB.
When I reboot, I get the same darn Windows 7 remote desktop client connection.....
How do I actually get the Windows 8 Remote Desktop Connection client connector?

On its face, RDC 8 *looks* the same as RDC 7. Click on the icon in its top-left corner, click "About," and if the versions are "6.2.9200," that *is* RDC 8.
BTW, I didn't do any of the enablement stuff on my Win7 machine; just installed the DTLS hotfix, restarted, installed RDC8, restarted, and it was working.

Thank you! I am an idiot! I do have RDC8 .... I just assumed it would look like 8 (from the KB articles). I guess they were using it from within 8.

The lovable and ebullient Arti Puri who is seen playing the role of Trishna in Colors' daily soap 'Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon', in conversation with tellybuzz...
Let's have a look at what has she to say...
How did acting happen to you?
How has your journey been in the television industry?
Madhubala is my first show on television and it has been great till now. I never thought of venturing into the small screen since I always wanted to act in movies.In fact I do act in Punjabi movies too. I suffered from an injury and wasn't allowed to do films for a while but then came an offer of being a part of Madhubala for which I couldn't say a no. That's where this journey began from.
How is it working with the co-stars?
How is it working with the production house?
That one person you are closest to in the show?
I don't have one person but have two and they are: Drashti Dhami and Pallavi.
If you were invisible for a day?
The person who inspires you in your life?
Any current ongoing show you would want to be a part of?
Well I love the show 'Devon ke Dev.Mahadev' a lot. I don't know what character would I suit in or want to play since I love all of them. Their acting is simply amazing and the show is superb! Very impressed by it.
A quote you follow in life and why?
'Live and Let live'. I do not like judging people and I seriously practice this in my life as it takes away all the negativity from our life and positivity follows automatically.

Jesse White stands out in Illinois politics not only for being the first African American to be elected secretary of state, but also for steering clear of scandal during more than 36 years in public office.
Staying above reproach in a state where one former governor is in prison, another faces sentencing on multiple corruption convictions, and jaded voters suspect most politicians are on the take has helped generate landslide election victories for White.
"You have to show honesty and fairness," White said in a talk at the Frick Center on November 15, part of the College's Democracy Forum. An even-handed approach is essential to dealing with the public and employees, he added.
White, a Democrat, was re-elected to a fourth term as secretary of state in 2010. At the time he said that that campaign would be his last, but a few months ago White announced that he would seek re-election again—in 2014, when he will be 80.
The secretary of state's office issues drivers' licenses and license plates. White has earned praise for making the office more efficient for Illinois motorists and for cleaning up a department marked by corruption before he took office.
He noted that every year, he revokes or suspends the driving privileges of more than 500,000 motorists who break the law, and that he has fired more than 700 employees during his 12 years in office for violating laws or the employee code of conduct.
"My philosophy of life is that when you take on a job you also take on the responsibility that comes with it," he said in his talk, "Democracy in Action." That, he said, includes enforcing laws that may be unpopular. "If you step over the line, you will have to pay the price," he noted.
White was accompanied by Lee Daniels, former speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives and currently a distinguished fellow and adjunct political science professor at Elmhurst College, as well as special assistant for government and community relations to Elmhurst President S. Alan Ray.
Daniels, who served with White in the Illinois General Assembly, cited White's scandal-free record as a key reason for his popularity. White was elected to the Illinois House in 1974.
"I think that speaks to why he's been re-elected so many times to different offices. He has always shown a high level of integrity," Daniels said. "Even though I'm a Republican and he's a Democrat, I think the world of him."
White was a teacher and administrator in Chicago Public Schools for 33 years. He is well-known for founding the Jesse White Tumbling Team, an acrobatic performance troupe that involves at-risk youth in gymnastics and athletics and has performed all over the country.
