Anglo Saxon Attitudes' DVD box advertises it as a "biting satire." Now British humor can often run so dry as to be positively Saharan, and while this 1992 miniseries based on an Angus Wilson novel of some repute is certainly trenchant and full of batty characters doing some very peculiar things, I personally found it less outright satiric than incredibly insightful as it explores various levels of deception, whether aimed outward toward others or kept to interior worlds. And while satiric elements certainly come to the fore in the party from hell sequence that dominates the third and final episode, I think you'll do better if you approach Anglo Saxon Attitudes as a very observant character study focusing on aging historian Gerald Middleton, who could be a poster child for Robert Frost's famous poem "The Road Not Taken."
The three episode miniseries jumps back and forth in time (actually a bit confusing in the opening sequences until it's made clear we're dealing with Middleton at various times in his life), but tends early on to balance its attention between a beautiful day in 1912, when a young Middleton meets Dollie, the woman who will haunt his life forever, at exactly the same moment that a medieval grave of an early Christian Bishop is unearthed on the grounds of the mansion that Middleton is visiting, as well as events some 40 years later, when Middleton finds himself surrounded by many metaphorical chickens coming home to roost. In the 1912 timeline, when the casket is pried apart, the upper crust assemblage is somewhat shocked to find a rather graphic male fertility idol clutched in the Bishop's skeletal remains. Cutting back and forth to Middleton's late life reveals that this exacavation, nicknamed Melpham after the grounds where it was found, has sparked a whole reexamination of early British Christian history and led to something of a cottage industry for historians eager to link pagan practices with those of the early Church. Middleton's (late life) nomination to edit Oxford's new Medieval History compendium leads him to reexamine the Melpham Idol, as its called, leaving him awash in a sea of memory, most intriguingly the admission of his lifelong friend Gilbert Stokesay (son of Melpham's owner and Dollie's soon to be husband) that Gilbert planted the idol to embarrass his father. This sets Middleton out on a detective quest to uncover the truth, which actually takes a back seat for most of the ensuing drama, as Middleton's investigations actually bring him in touch with long repressed feelings about his own life and life choices.
While this may sound laborious, it's actually surprisingly visceral, helmed by an absolutely knockout performance by Richard Johnson as the elderly Middleton. Slowly coming to realize how distant and cold he's been to his estranged wife and children, while watching his children make some of the same mistakes he has earlier in his own life, Johnson evokes wave after wave of beautifully nuanced recognition, always with that stiff British upper lip, that history cannot be changed. Or maybe it can--as the somewhat reconciled ending points out on a number of levels. I suppose some can see some extremely black comedy at work here in the trail of death and destruction that Middleton leaves in the wake of his detective work, but it's not really played for laughs on any level and is actually shocking more often than not.
There are a host of very fine supporting performances in this piece, chiefly Elizabeth Spriggs as Middleton's dotty Danish wife Inge (whom he marries despite loving Dollie), a smug and subtly hilarious Simon Chandler as Middleton's second son John, a television muckraker in the Edward R. Murrow tradition who happens to be hiding a homosexual lifestyle, and especially Tara Fitzgerald, equally fetching and tragic as the young Dollie. (Look for both a smarmy Daniel Craig as Gilbert Stokesay and a very young, and still quite overweight, Kate Winslet in a small supporting role in the third episode). What is also of some note in this well-adapted piece (by Andrew Davies, whom some astute credits-readers will recognize as the screenwriter of the Bridget Jones features) is the interwoven strands of relationships that spill out intergenerationally and are only slowly revealed throughout the series' three episodes. While not quite at the "shock and awe" level of television mainstay Lost, they nonetheless provide a continuing amount of surprise as the viewer slowly realizes someone seen in passing in the flashback sequences actually has great importance in "current time."
There are a few qualms with the many subplots that dot the landscape here. While John's unfortunate dance with danger vis a vis his "alternative lifestyle" with a lower class thief named Larrie is dealt with tragically (some would say melodramatically), there's virtually no wrapup for another despicable character, a virtual mirror image of Larrie named Yves, who actually contributes to the death of a major supporting character. And though Gerald and Dollie's late in life reconciliation is brought to a neat little close (Dollie in this timeframe nicely portrayed by the inimitable Dorothy Tutin), there are still some dangling questions left hanging about Gerald's "real" family and the relationships therein.
Anglo Saxon Attitudes is a very hard piece to classify--part Remembrance of Things Past, part detective story, part elegy to a life seeking reconciliation, it's unusually touching and will be appreciated by those who don't need slam bang action sequences and thrilling denouements to make their viewing experiences satisfactory.

Psychoanalytic therapy is one of the most well-known treatment modalities, but it is also one of the most misunderstood by mental health consumers. This type of therapy is based upon the theories and work of Sigmund Freud, who founded the school of thought known as psychoanalysis.

What Is Psychoanalytic Therapy?

Psychoanalytic therapy looks at how the unconscious mind influences thoughts and behaviors. Freud described the unconscious as the reservoir of desires, thoughts, and memories that are below the surface of conscious awareness.

Psychoanalysis frequently involves looking at early childhood experiences in order to discover how these events might have shaped the individual and how they contribute to current actions. People undergoing psychoanalytic therapy often meet with their therapist at least once a week and may remain in therapy for a number of weeks, months or even years.

The History of Psychoanalytic Therapy

Psychoanalytic theory grew out of the work of the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud who began developing his therapeutic techniques in the late 1800s. In 1885, Freud began to study and work with Jean-Martin Charcot at the Salpêtrière in Paris. Charcot used hypnosis to treat women suffering from what was then known as hysteria. Symptoms of the illness included partial paralysis, hallucinations and nervousness.

Freud continued to research hypnotism in treatment, but his work and friendship with colleague Josef Breuer led to the development of his most famous therapeutic technique. Breuer described his treatment of a young woman, known in the case history as Anna O., whose symptoms of hysteria were relieved by talking about her traumatic experiences. Freud and Breuer collaborated on a book called Studies on Hysteria and Freud continued to develop his use of this "talk therapy." This approach proposed that simply talking about problems could help relieve psychological distress.

How Does Psychoanalytic Therapy Work?

Psychoanalytic therapists generally spend time listening to patients talk about their lives, which is why this method is often referred to as "the talking cure." The therapy provider will look for patterns or significant events that may play a role in the client's current difficulties. Psychoanalysts believe that childhood events and unconscious feelings, thoughts and motivations play a role in mental illness and maladaptive behaviors.

Psychoanalytic therapy also makes use of other techniques including free association, exploration of the transference, observing defenses and feelings patient's may not be aware of, as well as dream interpretation.

What Are the Benefits of Psychoanalytic Therapy?

As with any approach to mental health treatment, psychoanalytic therapy can have its pluses and minuses. The degree to which these potential benefits and pitfalls influence the choice to use this approach depends on a variety of factors including the individuals preferences and severity of symptoms.

This type of therapy has had critics who claim that psychoanalytic therapy is too time-consuming, expensive and generally ineffective. Some such as Noam Chomsky and Karl Popper suggested that psychoanalysis lacked a scientific basis. Misconceptions of this type of treatment are often connected to some of the earlier, more classical Freudian applications of psychoanalytic treatment.

In the last few decades, there has been significant research validating this approach's benefits. The therapist offers an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment where the client can feel safe in revealing feelings or actions that have led to stress and difficulties in his or her life. Often, simply sharing these burdens in the context of a therapeutic relationship can have a beneficial influence. Furthermore, it has been shown that this type of self-examination can lead to continued emotional growth over time.

What Are the Downsides to Psychoanalytic Therapy?

Costs are often cited as the biggest downside of psychoanalytic therapy. Many clients are in therapy for years, so the financial and time costs associated with this treatment modality can be potentially very high.

I have got someone who has designed a logo for me. I now need to have a form they can sign to transfer the copyright of the image over to me including any derived works i make from the image etc.
Anyone know of any good sites with template contracts like this on them, there is no way i can afford one of those laywer things
Hi Padders,
If I can find the time I'll see if I can't draw you up something to serve as a suggestion - but not as legal advice (the following ALSO isn't legal advice) but...
Just keep whatever you draw up simple and in plain language. State what you're giving him/her and what they're giving you. The more terms/conditions you put in the more interpretation (read that: "possibility of screwing things up") there is.
(i.e. In specific and full consideration of $100.00 Jim Bob Thortan agrees to assign all copyrights to the following logo: (description of logo) to My Name. Refer to addendum "A" for photo (attach Addendum "A" with a photo/photocopy of your logo).)
Understand there is something called a "second bite." That is after 34 years Jim Bob Thortan has a second opportunity to reassert his copyrights to the logo - ain't nothin you can do bout that. But your contract will get you the first 34 without too much problems.
BTW if this logo is going to be worth some money (think the smiley face from the '70s; "Baby On Board" signs; etc...) It IS worth getting an attorney NOW - the fee's however much will be worth it in an enforcable contract. Check with an atty. - most offer an initial consultation free of charge, and most will charge a standard, fixed fee for this type of a thing....
Do it once, do it right, never have to screw with it again...
Sorry, thought of another Q:
Why didn't you draw up the contract for this before he drew it? You'd have avoided the "second bite" problem with good contract drafting....
Sorry to sound like an advertisement, but just another good reason to talk w/an atty.
because it is an informal thing, he will sign what ever i ask him to pretty much and the job has not quite been completed anyway so it is not a problem. It is just for my protection
Forgive me for being blunt (sometimes I'm a little too curt), but if it is truely informal then you don't need anything for your protection. I truely don't want this answer to be sassy and hope that despite how long it is it helps the forum members understand some of the issues surrounding copyright and trademark.
But saying that it is for your protection tells me that it is not informal. (unless by informal you mean "just not thought out." By "informal" I mean "we're friends and he'd NEVER think of suing me.... EVEN if this logo was worth as much as the 70's "smiley face," or a "Baby on Board" sign)
(the following is not intended as legal advice)
If you want something just for your protection, then I'm telling you that it IS a problem that a contract was not prepared prior to him beginning work. In a well know copyright case a non-profit group approached a minor-league sculptor with an idea conceived of soley by the non-profit group. In fact the non-profit group maintained serious control throughout the creation process including dictating what and how the sculpture would look like and comprise.
Nonetheless, after everything was said and done - and AFTER the scupture became very famous (read "worth something") the non-profit group decided to formalize the contract..... nope, too late - despite the idea coming from the group, despite the group maintaining control of the project the sculpture was ruled to be the property of the artist.
A contract BEFORE work has been agreed upon can assign legal "authorship" (the crux of who owns the work) to you.... after a work has begun, legal authorship of that portion of the work already finished belongs to the author (i.e. in the prior case to the artist NOT the group who told the artist EXACTLY what they wanted the sculpture to look like). Legal "authorship" cannot be assigned after a work has been begun or is completed and as you already can tell is not the same as the common notion of "authorship." Regardless of how much participation you've had in the creation of this logo (e.g. telling him EXACTLY what you want it to look like) there is a good chance this logo belongs to him.
What does this mean for you? If this is truely "informal" (my definition) you don't need to worry - in fact you don't need a contract or protection because he'd NEVER sue you EVEN if the logo became very famous and worth millions.
On the otherhand, If you... or your company... or the artist... or the logo.... were to ever become famous... or worth money... or named in another lawsuit (think auto accident, divorce, someone slips and falls on the sidewalk in front of your apartment)... or if you guys EVER got in an argument... then this all presents some problems for you.
If the artist were to decide now that he liked his design enough not to give it to you... If he decided he wanted more money.... If any of the above happened then a court is likely to rule that the logo is his.
Look, sorry for going on and on, I'm just trying to present to you why if you "want something for your protection," this is already a problem. There's a long list of issues here that is very difficult to explain in a forum (in fact this has been too long already). Sorry to sound like a broken record, but in regards to copyright and trademarks, that's why you should consider an attorney.
Last night, after shutting down my computer, I realize that whatever contract that is drawn up should also release any (claimed) trademark ownership present or future. This opens up another WHOLE host of issues that would just needlessly lengthen this response.... Anyways, Let me see if I can't pull up a contract that can serve as a suggestion for your agreement with this artist. I hope all this info IS helpful and not just more than you could care about. I know you're asking a simple question - I'm sorry, but there is just no way to give you a simple answer.
ok the facts:
Really, it is not that difficult, he will sign what ever i ask him to i just need a draft document to send him that he can sign giving complete transfer of copyright.
If he dosen't sign the contract, fine i can just get the logo done elsewhere, as i said it is a small job i just don't want to spend money marketing on it until i know it is "mine".
Hopefully a link to something would be good, www.findlaw.com has not helped me so far.
This suggestion attempts to address SOME of the issues that your hypothetical presents - I have no way of knowing the full issues that your particular situation encompasses.
The suggestion is written expressly to cover your side of things - a court of law may count this against you as it appears to cover your legal concens at the expense of his, it doens't show equal bargaining power, and frankly he'd have to be a fool to sign this (so much is it in your favor). Again this presents many more problems that you have acklowledged or appear to be aware of. I'm not trying to be condecending - I'm just trying to tell you there ARE some problems here.
The following is merely a suggestion and may not be legal or legally enforceable at all, in part, or in yourjurisdiction. Further, this suggestion may not fulfill the requirements of your situation and may not becomplete for your situation. It is strongly advised that anyone considering a transaction ascomplicated as a copyright or trademark transfer consult a legal professional in their jurisdiction....blah, blah, blah....

If this is "informal" (your def.) and really "not that difficult" then you DONT need a contract. And, if there are ever any problems then trust me you will have wished that you got an attorney. $100 spent now may prevent $100,000 (or more) spent later.
To anyone and everyone, please ask questions about the issues here! I'll do my best to explain what I know in the hopes of helping. But please, if I say "there's a problem here," TRUST ME there's a problem here.
Hope I helped padders - please let me know what happens.
Sorry, let me try to explain one more way:
The fact that this guy will sign any contract you put in front of him does not eliminate the problems I've indicated in my previous posts. That was why I said it would be better if this contract were signed before any work was done - there's only so much you can do to contract around problems that already exist
Does that make more sense?
Hope I'm helping-
i realise the problem but remember also that i am just running a small community website with a couple of thousand members and is hardly likely to make much profit. It is not much of an issue really just an extra something.
The only thing i can think of is a clause about derived works so that he makes no claim to any of these ie, if i modify the logo.. how could i encorporate that?
The example contract above covers derivative works. Seriously, take some time. Read through it. Make sure you understand what it says and what you're trying to do with it. Ask questions. I WOULD NOT recommend just jumping in and inserting/deleting clauses. By inserting clauses you risk contradicting a prior one - then the court has to decide what THEY thought you REALLY meant. You want a contract to be clear and precise... the last thing you want is a court of law trying to decide what the makers REALLY meant way back when, when it was signed and if there was really agreement or the court shouldn't substitute their own conditions. Big trouble.
The fact that your small time worries me more - I assume that means you are doing business as a sole proprieter? If so you have unlimited liability - BECAUSE your business has so little profit, if any bozo decides to sue you it's your future paychecks, house, personal car that will be attached and garnished. For me this woulld be twice the reason to make sure I get it right the first time... we don't often get the opportunity to buy a second house after the first one gets sold to settle a lawsuit.
See, if your business were structured as a profit-less corporation or LLC it would be easier for me to say, "Aw h*ll, what's the idiot going to get if he sues you anyways." I would NEVER say that if you are solely liable in an UNLIMITED portion as you are if you are a sole proprietership.
What'd you end up doing and how did it go?
hi, sorry i didn't get back to you sooner. Yes everything went well, got the images done and very happy and also the contract signed so everything is sorted. Thanks again for your help in this.

SYRACUSE, Neb. (AP) — Officials say a flaw in a Nebraska church's electrical system caused the fire that destroyed the century-old church this month.
Syracuse Fire Chief Bruce Neemann told the Lincoln Journal Star that investigators determined that an electrical failure in the attic of the Syracuse United Methodist Church caused the Jan. 5 fire.
The church in the town of less than 2,000 people 25 miles southeast of Lincoln is a total loss.
On Sunday, about 120 people met for worship in a local coffee house. The church plans to meet at the United Methodist Church in Unadilla for the next three weeks.
The Rev. Gary Ganger says his congregation is in good spirits. The church is planning to rent a downtown storefront to use as a temporary location for at least the next year.

Todd Staples, Texas Agriculture Commissioner and candidate for lieutenant governor, made a stop in downtown Tyler on Saturday as part of his statewide Get Out The Vote Tour.
The candidate met with Tylerites in front of the Smith County Elections Office on 302 E. Ferguson St. to discuss the campaign and talk about the ideas he is running on.
Staples said the tour's goal is to run across the state and encourage people to vote by meeting with prospective voters face-to-face.
Staples, who calls himself a "consistent conservative," is running in the March 4 Texas Republican primary against incumbent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, State Sen. Dan Patrick, of Houston, and Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson.
Staples said he feels he has received a bump in support after several debates.
"People knowing all the candidates, I seem to be gaining more support. I've gotten some significant endorsements just in the last few weeks," he said. "I think it had to do with the debates, with voters getting fully informed. … I have the strongest record of service, once they know all the candidates."
Staples, who has previously served in the state House of Representatives from 1995 to 2001 and the state Senate from 2001 to 2007, was not cautious in boasting his record over the last few years.
"I've been a top-ranked conservative in both the House and the Senate," he said. "I sued the Obama administration over job-killing (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) mandates."
He said that he considers immigration reform a top issue. Staples stressed a six-point plan to secure the Texas-Mexico border and to reform what he calls a "failed immigration system."
"It starts with border security and does not include amnesty," he said.
He also stressed his Contract With Texans, which includes 10 steps to a "strong Texas," which outlines the things he wants people to know he plans to do as lieutenant governor.
In the 10 steps, the contract includes cutting state costs, growing jobs and improving healthcare and education.
Staples, who is from Palestine, said he feels a special support when he comes to East Texas.
"East Texas has been great to me. East Texans sent me to Austin to serve in the House; they sent me to Austin to serve in the Senate, and East Texas carried me as our agriculture commissioner," he said. "I'm hoping East Texans will turn out and send me back to serve as lieutenant governor."

"The truth is that you – and your supporters -- are scared of anything that is different than you." - Muslim Public Affairs Council
Become a patron of breaking LGBTQ newsChip in $4 go
A group of Muslim-American activists have had enough of being bullied and scapegoated by presidential candidate Donald Trump as he stokes anti-Muslim sentiment as a campaign tactic.
The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) has sent a letter to Trump, challenging him to a debate. The group, which is dedicated to improving "public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media and communities," posted part of their letter to the xenophobic candidate on their Facebook page:
"Ever since you announced your run for Presidency of the United States, you have scapegoated the American Muslim community and other minority groups for all your perceived ills of America.
The truth is that you – and your supporters -- are scared of anything that is different than you.
You rely on the promotion of fear and Internet lies to fuel the flames of hate and divisiveness across our country.
You have no understanding of the world in which you live. That's why you insist on backward policies, such as building walls and segregating communities based on religion, as a desperate attempt to create a false sense of strength and security, and to preserve your distorted view of what makes America great.
Well, we have news for you: We will no longer be bullied. We will no longer be your punching bag.
We challenge you to a debate with a representative from the American Muslim community on the issues you have raised about Islam and Muslims.
We are confident that you, a person of great rhetorical ability, will appreciate this opportunity to showcase to America your strength and knowledge in such matters."
The Hill reports the last straw for the Muslim political group seemed to be when Trump repeated a story on the campaign trail about U.S. General John Pershing executing Muslim prisoners in the Philippines with bullets "dipped in pig's blood," - a tall tale which has been widely debunked.
The Trump campaign has not yet responded, but it is hard to envision the reality star with the courage or the knowledge base to stand face to face with a member of the Muslim community he has demonized and defend his attacks.
MPAC, which maintains America is enriched by the vital contributions of American Muslims, says its mission is to "promote the Islamic and American values of mercy, justice, peace, human dignity, freedom, and equality for all."
Mr. Trump has yet to demonstrate he understands any of those things.

wikiHow to Evolve Spritzee
Spritzee is a small fairy-type Pokémon introduced in the sixth generation of the game (X and Y). It has a large white beak-like face, purple feet, and pink body and wings. Spritzee is one of the few Pokémon that is a little bit tricky to evolve. You need to meet two conditions before you can change Spritzee to its second stage—Aromatisse, a much stronger fairy-type Pokémon.
1Acquire a Sachet. A Sachet is an in-game item, and when used on certain Pokémon, it causes special effects. A Sachet is a small purple perfume sack that is used to evolve Spritzee. In Pokémon X and Y, you can get Sachet from these locations:
- Kalos Route 12 — Look behind the ranch house and you'll see a bush. Use any grass-type Pokémon that has the "Cut" skill and cut that bush to get a Sachet.
- Cyllage City — Head to the southern part of the city where you'll see a house. Go inside the house and make your way to the kitchen where you'll see a man. Talk to that man and he'll give you a Sachet.
- Battle Maison — Get at least 32 Battle Points and trade it for a Sachet.
2Equip Spritzee with the Sachet. Open your bag, select the Sachet, and choose Spritzee from the list of Pokémon you can give it to.
3Find a Trading Center. Spritzee will only evolve to Aromatisse once it gets traded with another player using the game's trading system. Trading systems and its locations vary depending on the game you're playing.
- For newer generations (fourth to X and Y), trading Pokémon are done using the GTS, or Global Trade Stations. To trade using the GTS, go inside a Pokémon Center in any town and talk to the receptionist (non-playable character) in charge of the system.
4Trade your Spritzee. Ask one of your friends to trade Pokémon with you. Select Spritzee from the list and trade it with any Pokémon the other player has or is willing to exchange. Once the other player receives Spritzee, its evolution will start and will change to Aromatisse.
5Trade back your newly evolved Aromatisse. Ask the other player to start another trade so you can have Aromatisse back.
- You can choose to skip this step if you prefer not to get your evolved Aromatisse back.

- Spritzee will only evolve when it gets traded while equipped with a Sachet. It cannot evolve by just holding the Sachet or by getting traded.
- The Sachet only works with Spritzee. It has no effect on any other Pokémon.

2 Chainz "WUDA CUDA SHUDA" ft. Lil Boosie
In anticipation of his Freebase EP, out Monday May 5, 2 Chainz drops the new joint "WUDA CUDA SHUDA" featuring Lil Boosie. One of the more anticipated songs off the record (everything Lil Boosie is on will be highly anticipated), the track delves into the shortcomings of would-of-could-of-should-of-ass people. 2 Chainz advises folks to leave the bitching to bitches— we couldn't agree more. Lil Boosie does more of the same, explaining that his rap skills are stronger than ever since leaving pen. He better still be able to spit if he really wrote over 1,000 songs while locked up.
Produced by Mike WiLL Made It, "WUDA CUDA SHUDA" has that heavy bounce and is sure to get airplay any and everywhere you go. If you don't like the song now, you will in a week or so. And if you don't like it in a week, you're probably a "WUDA CUDA SHUDA" ass mofo.

Ughhhh my hips and butt are huge now! They were big to begin with.Women have long employed self-effacing criticism as the primary means of introduction. It's a social bonding precursor. I'm fat. I hate myself. Therefore, I'm lovable and won't fuck your man so invite me to your coffee klatch. Somebody on Kim's paid social media team figured this dynamic out recently and started Tweeting every-woman posts about needing to lose twenty pounds and how her ass was too huge even though she controls the precise size of her dumpster through fat injections and nanorobotics. Naturally, Kim's sympathetic I'm the Fantine friendly kind of whore public persona worked. If Satan stormed up from Hades and announced he can't find a bikini that fits and he's got cramps he's immediately have 5,000 retweets.
OK no more tweeting and procrastinating! LOL Glad some of u moms can relate. I'm reading the comments! For real....of to the gym! ...Wish me luck on the dieting...it's soooo hard for me!"LOL indeed, Kim Kardashian social media team. Nanorobotics are cool. But science won't mean anything until I can reach through my Twitter feed and bitch slap people soooo they feel it.

The 2009 Dodge Dakota is marketed as a mid-size truck, but with a wheelbase of 131.3 inches--longer than some current full-size pickup trucks--it feels much like its full-size brethren. Blame the supersizing of America for the Dakota's growth spurt if you want, but at least you'll be able to haul quite a bit with that extra space.
For 2009 the Dodge Dakota comes in just two body styles, Extended and Crew Cab, along with four trim levels, down from six last year. The available trims are ST, Big Horn (which sells as the Lone Star down in Texas), TRX4, and Laramie. Bed length options are limited solely to a 6.6-foot carrier for the extended cab and a 5.3-foot bed on the four-door crew cab. Bed utility is increased on the 2009 Dodge Dakota thanks to built-in cargo box utility rails.
The mid-size Dodge Dakota, one of only two V-8-powered mid-size models available in all the land, is a rare breed in its class. While a 210-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 is standard fare, Dodge also offers an optional 302-hp, 4.7-liter powerplant. The six-cylinder engine comes with either a four-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission, while the V-8 is mated exclusively to a five-speed auto. Fuel economy is typical for trucks of this size, if not a bit better than average, with both the V-6 and V-8 achieving EPA estimates of 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive models.
With all of the emphasis placed on pumping some life into the engine compartment of the new Dodge Dakota, some basic safety features seem to have been completely overlooked. While the engine benefits from fully modern technology (and delivers up to 7,000-pound towing capabilities), the brakes are pure old school: discs in front, drums in the back with rear-wheel-only anti-lock brakes. Four-wheel anti-lock control is optional. Handling is perhaps a bit better than you would expect, thanks to a quick-ratio rack-and-pinion steering setup, but the suspension is prone to excessive floating. However, given the truck's weight (more than 4,500 pounds), you can't expect it to handle like a sports sedan.
Coming off its significant refresh in 2008, the 2009 Dodge Dakota offers few changes. The latest Dodge Dakota still boasts the more angular Nitro-ish exterior that debuted last year and features better fit and gap management, while new fenders dramatically change the truck's profile, which now includes a rear spoiler--a genuine aero feature.
The 2009 Dodge Dakota also features full-swing rear access doors on Extended Cab versions, which open nearly 170 degrees to facilitate entry and exit, as well as cargo loading into the backseats. Seating for five is standard, and with the rear seats folded, there's up to 30 cubic feet of storage space. The larger Crew Cab offers even more room: another 7.5 cubic feet. Seating is comfortable, especially inside the Laramie and TRX4 models, which feature upgraded seats for 2009. Also increasing interior utility is Dodge's Crate 'N Go system, new for 2009, which features custom removable containers that fit under the rear seat, allowing gear to be organized and contained within the truck without rolling around.
The useful and space-efficient center console design, carried over unchanged from last year, incorporates cup holders with modular inserts and a pull-out bin specifically designed to hold electronics such as an MP3 player (which may be plugged into any of the Dodge Dakota's audio systems), cell phone, or PDA. While Detroit automakers have tried to emphasize quality of late, the 2009 Dodge Dakota comes up well short of its competitors, both foreign and domestic, in this department.
The Bottom Line:
If you need most of a full-size pickup's capabilities but want to be able to get into a parking space or carport, consider the 2009 Dodge Dakota with its available V-8.

Recently travelled to Cape Town for. A Christmas holiday, all arrangements where made by Dial a Flight, and I cannot fault them, after booking we made several amendments, all where dealt with efficiently and without fuss. We had a wonderful holiday and this was down in a large part to the hassle free arrangements.
Whenever I had cause to call Dial a Flight the organiser was friendly helpful and I always felt I was dealing with an old friend.
I would have no hesitation on recommending Dial a Flight, and will certainly use them again.

A Message to Colorado from President Obama
Legalized pot has been a bit "hit" in Colorado so far. Here's something I wonder about: If we, as El Pasoans, have to go through a potentially invasive search when we want to leave our city ( Border Patrol Checkpoints) will people leaving Colorado be similarly inconvenienced? If not, why? Is drug smuggling only bad if it comes from the border?
To hear President Obama's surprisingly positive message to Colorado, follow the jump link below…

China rejects torture allegations
By Claire Doole in Geneva
China has defended itself to the United Nations against allegations of carrying out torture in prisons, forced labour camps and in police cells.
It is four years since China last appeared before the UN panel of experts to explain its compliance with the UN convention against torture, which it ratified in 1988.
A big Chinese delegation, headed by the Chinese ambassador to the UN in Geneva, said that the number of cases of torture had dropped in recent years and that new laws banned officials from extracting confessions by torture.
Chinese ambassador Qiao Zonghuai said the number of people prosecuted for obtaining evidence by violence had dropped from 193 in 1998 to 173 last year.
No figures
The delegation had no statistics for the number of people held in administrative detention centres.
It said these inmates had the right of a lawyer to defend them and that they could be compensated for wrongful imprisonment.
Human rights groups say in practice this doesn't happen, as the centres are outside the judicial system.
The Chinese delegation dismissed the UN committee's concerns that ethnic minority prisoners were particularly harshly treated.
An official said Tibetan inmates were given special food and allowed to celebrate the Tibetan new year.
He said allegations that Tibetan nuns had been raped in prison and most of those detained in the autonomous region of Xinjiang were tortured, were not worth refuting.
Human rights groups said the delegation's answers were inadequate and dodged the main issues.
The UN panel is due to give its opinion on China's compliance with the UN treaty against torture on Tuesday.

text: i just looked at the dinner menu pdf on the cyrus website (www.cyrusrestaurant.com/) and the format looks like it changed -- previously you could order any combination, in any order from the menu, but now it only lists two tasting menus w/ one or two choices per course. did it change or can you still order a la carte? i hope so, i love the restaurant and as a picky eater, it was perfect to mix and match. thanks!

I can't remember the last time I went out for drinks, and the number of times I scooted into a leather restaurant booth in the past year for the sake of socializing is probably smaller than the dessert menu at Boston Pizza.
I can't pinpoint when, exactly, but at some point I became more inclined to spend my nights in, rather than out.
I know 20-somethings are supposed to get dressed up and go drinking and dancing on Saturday nights, but I haven't done that in years. Text me an invite to the bar after I've put on my stretchy pants and I guarantee you, I will suddenly lose cell service, or my phone charger, until the following morning.
Now that I'm saving up for a house and paying bills, I can't afford a big night out anyways. Most of my friends, many of whom are going to school, paying off student loans, or earning entry level, starting salaries can't either. If you've perused the Pinterest-perfect pages of a cocktail menu and timidly asked the waitress how much a mojito costs these days, you know what I'm talking about. Rule of thumb; if the price isn't advertised, it probably costs as much as your dinner.
Sharing pitchers at the pub has been replaced with six-packs and potlucks at someone's house — where, conveniently, comfy pants meet the dress code and make-up is frowned upon. We play board games, have build-your-own sushi nights, and watch hockey games in the living room with the biggest flatscreen TV. I used to describe these nights to people who still went out with a sense of shame — I know, I'm lame, I would say. I'm too boring and poor to go out (and, more shameful still, I have no desire to.)
But, I've noticed lately that staying in has shed some of its taboo. More and more people my age are saving a few bucks, and having a great time, forgoing bars for backyard shindigs and trading teacup-sized guacamole plates for seven layer dips served out of a Tupperware container. I've realized that I'm not the only weirdo who doesn't go out anymore.
The trend became even more apparent last week when one of Vernon's sports bars announced it was closing down. Monashee's Bar and Grill has been a fixture downtown for almost a decade, and was one of the few remaining places you could still grab a drink and dance to a DJ after 8 p.m. (or so I'm told — I haven't been there for more than a grilled cheese sandwich in the last decade.)
The owner told me people just don't go out like they used to. Who doesn't have a flatscreen TV to watch the game these days, and in this economy who can afford dinner and a round of drinks when you can just put a box of taquitos in the oven and call it a night? Add tougher drinking and driving laws and sky-rocketing food prices, and the sports bar business starts to taste pretty stale.
The owner's liquor store and take out pizza service, on the other hand, are booming. People still want to unwind with a couple drinks after the work week, they're just doing it at home instead of the bar. So what's he going to do? Turn the bar into a massive liquor store, and keeping rolling pizza dough, because while habits evolve, some things never change.

I just bought these: Sennheiser MX75 Sport
My problem was the sweat was making the ear buds pop out and at that point you can forget about putting them in.
But, these bad-boys STAY in. You twist them into place, and they stay! The sound is good and it comes with several extra pieces to customize the fit. A little pricey but worth it for as much as I wear them.
I highly recommend them.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
I bought one of the old fashioned headband/big honking earphones that you wear over your ears. (I can't get those things to stay in my ears for even 2 seconds.)
Thanks. I will try to find the Sennheiser MX75 Sport!

Ventura Securities is bearish on Asian Paints and has recommended sell rating on the stock in its January 24, 2013 research report.
Ventura Securities is bearish on Asian Paints and has recommended sell rating on the stock in its January 24, 2013 research report.
"Asian Paints' Q3FY13 consolidated revenues were at Rs 3052.9 crore, grew by 19% YoY. On a standalone basis (decorative business), the net sales grew by a mere 20% YoY in value terms to Rs 2536.9 crore led by ~11-12% volume growth during the quarter. The volume growth was driven primarily by premium products. Other businesses (international and industrial paints) registered sales and PAT of Rs 519.5 crore (up 14% YoY) and Rs 23.2 crore (263% YoY) respectively. International business of the company reported good performance backed by the improved economic sentiments in the Middle East and Asian region."
"While industrial business was impacted due to poor demand from projects business and slowdown in OEM segment. Other businesses of the company also saw sharp revival on EBIDTA margin front, which expanded by 381 bps YoY to 11.47% backed by softening in RM cost and reduction in other expenditure. The company's EBITDA margin expanded to 105 bps YoY to 16.7% primarily on account of 107bps reduction in COGS (TiO2, a key RM, has declined 20% from peak in past 6 months). Further, the company has been able to manage its A&P spends (reflected by meager 50 bps expansion in other expenditure of standalone business) in current difficult scenario indicating strong brand salience. The company's index of raw material costs for the decorative business fell by 4.8% sequentially. Volume growth in decorative paints picked up sharply during the quarter on strong festive demand."
"In every subsequent quarter, Asian Paints continued to register improvement in volume growth backed by the growing demand scenario (supported by favorable base effect). The investment in new growth drivers (construction chemicals business), higher growth in decorative business and its JV with PPG are likely to drive growth further. With Asian Paints (decorative business) witnessing traction in volumes, we believe that the trend is expected to continue supported by elections and improved sentiments. At the CMP of Rs 4,397, Asian Paints trades at a PE multiple of 30.1x and 24.9x FY14E & FY15E consensus earnings estimates and at premium valuations. Considering the improvement in macro environment and current premium valuations, we recommend a sell on the stock," says Ventura Securities research report.

NEW YORK — Rather than ban home-plate collisions, Major League Baseball and its players have adopted a rule limiting them.
In what both sides said was a one-year experiment, the rule allows collisions if the catcher has the ball and is blocking the runner's direct path to home plate, and if the catcher goes into the basepath to field a throw to the plate.
"It's good, I think it takes away the malicious intent behind the play at the plate," Texas Rangers catcher J.P. Arencibia said. "Obviously the runner doesn't always have to slide, and the catcher still has the ability to block the plate once he has the ball in hand."
The new rule states: "A runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate)." A runner violating the rule will be declared out, even if the fielder drops the ball.
Along with the rule, the sides agreed to a pair of comments umpires will use to interpret the rule. The first: "The failure by the runner to make an effort to touch the plate, the runner's lowering of the shoulder, or the runner's pushing through with his hands, elbows or arms, would support a determination that the runner deviated from the pathway in order to initiate contact with the catcher in violation." Players who slide appropriately are not in violation of the rule.
The second comment: "Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score." If he does, the runner is safe.
However, it also states that a catcher is not in violation should he block a runner's pathway "in order to field a throw, and the umpire determines that the catcher could not have fielded the ball without blocking the pathway of the runner and that contact with the runner was unavoidable."
The umpire crew chief can use the new video-review system to determine whether the rule was violated.
"It stops guys just going out of their way just to try to dislodge the baseball when they [catchers] have the plate," Texas Rangers Manager Ron Washington said.

Army First Lieutenant Kenneth Ballard, who was killed in the line of duty in Iraq, will receive the distinguished honor of having a post office in Mountain View named after him.
A formal dedication ceremony was held Saturday.
Since his death in 2004, his mother Karen Meredith has been pushing for the dedication.
"If you ask a family, 'What do you want most?' We don't want our children to be forgotten," Meredith said.
Ballard, who was Meredith's only child died after an accidental discharge of a weapon that was mounted on his tank.
The 26 year old was awarded three bronze stars and a purple heart during his nine years of military service.
"He was so devoted to his country," said Rep. Anna Eschoo, who introduced the bill that Pres. Barack Obama signed in January.
"This is I think the kind of tribute that is lasting to him and that future generations that walk in and out of this post office in Mountain View, while they might not know all of his story, they will know that there is someone very brave and very courageous that gave his life for his country."
Meredith says her son died doing what he loved, serving his country. She says she knows there are countless other families whose loved ones have made the same sacrifice and the dedication of the post office is not just for her son, but for everyone in the military.
"He loved life and I have to keep going because he didn't get that life and I just want to honor him and all the other soldiers," Merideth said.

Why didn't Malcolm and Denise vote for lisa..... then if it was a tie.... they would have at least had a chance in a tie breaker? It seemed the only chance of saving either of them.
They were too blinded by their fear of sitting next to each other in the finals. And let's face it, either one of them would have beaten Lisa and Skupin, so they definitely had a right to be scared to go with the other. Malcolm missed his chance to reassure Denise (even if it was a false reassurance) and she was savvy enough to know she had to go to the F3 without him. Neither one would risk a tie and potentially taking out either Lisa or Skupin.
Just read an interview on EW with Malcolm talking about his experiences. He says he is really good friends with Denise and Lisa and talks with them all the time. He states that Lisa has a beautiful daughter and he is working on that!
You could be the juiciest, most ripe peach, but there is still going to be someone who doesn't like peaches.
Interesting interview with Malcolm on Zap2it. He says a few things about the show & editing that we've all suspected, if not known:
Survivor: Philippines: Malcolm Freberg is not a good guy ... and more secrets from the fourth-place finisher - Zap2it
"Malcolm Freberg didn't win "Survivor: Philippines" or even Player of the Season (although it was close), but he earned a spot as one of the game's most popular players.
Of course, he'd rather be remembered as the winner -- or at least known for his razor-sharp wit, as he told Zap2it after reliving his defeat on Sunday's finale.
Were you flattered to be compared to Ozzy?
I know he's a popular guy, so that's cool, but I always thought of myself as a much more strategic player than Ozzy. I want to be known as the strategic guy. The comparison is great -- but really?
Who has better hair?
Me. That's not even a question.
Are you happy with your good-guy edit?
There's no way I can be upset about the way I've been portrayed on TV, but I actually am upset, because I said so many snarky things, great little one-liners -- they didn't show any of the mean stuff I said about people. Going into it, I kind of saw myself in my head like maybe coming off more Tyson-ish. I did every other confessional answer in Abi-Maria impersonations.
Was Abi as awful as she seemed?
I can tolerate Abi more than the older folks, but she's as intolerable as they make her look on TV. Denise would try to fix her and you can't fix crazy. It's because I wasn't being a good person and trying to help her through this phase of her life that I got along with her better.
How surprised were you that Abi voted for Denise?
That was shocking. Abi fought all three of them, so she didn't have much of a choice. You have to give her some credit -- that idol thing, we all mocked her for it because she was horrible at selling it. But in a weird way, if she was a better actress, that could've been awesome. [Her vote] almost shows maturity on Abi's part.
Were you surprised that the players polled by Jeff at the reunion show said wouldn't have voted for you in the finals?
No, because they would have. Pete and Carter planned it backstage beforehand to throw Probst off. We knew this question was going to come up -- the hypothetical. Pete and Carter said, "Hey, when Probst asks that question, we're not going to raise our hands. And then Penner was walking by, [and said], "Ooh, I like that! I'm in." It was hilarious.
Do you give any credence to Skupin's insistence that he only lost because a resentful jury colluded against him?
Richard Hatch said you have to know who you are to play the game. There was no way that Skupin knew how he was perceived. [Even though he and Lisa were strategizing during the game], we didn't know that. We just saw a bumbling Skupin who might as well have been wearing a hat with bells on it, and Lisa who was crying every other day. They're making a TV show [so] they had to make it look like it was going to be close. It was never going to be close. That's the reason I was trying to make a deal with them, because they were just goats.
Did Penner's outing of Lisa as a child actress sway the jury's vote at all?
I've never heard of "Facts of Life." I know Penner explained it very well but we weren't really listening. I was thinking it was some [failed] pilot. We had no idea of the scale of her stardom until we got back. Penner outing her didn't affect the vote at all.
Did you regret rewarding Lisa in the loved-ones challenge after you saw her plotting against you?
I absolutely regretted it, before her brother even left. Lisa and her brother were gone the entire time. [At first I thought] He's a pastor -- how is this the guy who is going to tell you how to backstab somebody! There is no way that he's going to be the one who's going to spin you into getting rid of me. That wasn't even on my radar, and I was absolutely shocked to see it.
Have you received any marriage proposals since Jeff clarified your single status on the finale?
Only from elementary school girls. I'm very popular with the preteen crowd."

Very interesting interview! I was wondering what was up with nobody raising their hand for a Malcolm vote...
It was me. I let the dogs out.
That was a great interview. I love that the guys were very intentional in not raising their hands. I would probably have liked Malcolm even more had they shown more of the snark. My whole family leans toward snark.
And a month on an island might begin to give me some perspective on his true player tendencies or lack thereof....


text: A Irish hobo walks into a pub in London, and approaches the barman. "If I show you an amazing trick, will you give me a free drink?" "Sure" says the barman. So the hobo takes a tiny rat from his pocket along with a tiny piano. The rat cracks his knuckles and begins to play the blues. "Wow", says the barman, "thats impressive, what are you having? " The hobo says, "hold on a minute, if I show you and even better trick, will you give me free drinks for the rest of the night? "The barman agrees, and the hobo pulls out a frog and sets it beside the rat. The frog begins to sing along with the rats music. A guy at the end of the bar sees this and rushes over to the hobo. "I'll give you £50,000 for the frog!". "Sorry" says the hobo, "hes not for sale". "£100,000" says the guy. "No, look I'm not interested." "£500,000!" exclaims the guy. Finally the hobo agrees. The barman, dumbfounded, says, "are you nuts? You just sold that frog for £500,000 when he's clearly worth millions!" "Ah" says the hobo, "you see, the frog is nothing. The rat is a ventriloquist."

Washington, D.C. (June 23, 2009) - CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association of Football) today announced the schedule for D.C. United's preliminary round matches in the 2009-10 CONCACAF Champions League tournament. The Black-and-Red will face El Salvador's Chalatenango in a two-game aggregate series that will determine one of the spots in Group B. The first match will take place on July 28 at RFK Stadium with an 8 p.m. kickoff, while Chalatenango will host the return leg on August 4 at Estadio Monumental Cuscatlan.
The home game on July 28 will serve as Special Game C for half and full season ticket holders. Individual tickets sales for the general public will be available via all TicketMaster outlets beginning tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. Should United advance to the next round, it would join CD Toluca (Mexico), Marathon (Honduras) and either San Juan Jabloteh (Trinidad) or San Francisco FC (Panama).
The preliminary round of the tournament is composed of 16 teams that were drawn into eight home-and-away match-ups. The winners will join the eight seeded teams in the Group Stage that consists of four groups of four teams each. The top two clubs from each of the four groups will advance to the quarterfinals. The CONCACAF Champions League winner will qualify as the CONCACAF representative to the 2010 edition of the FIFA Club World Cup.
In the inaugural 2008-09 season, the Black-and-Red earned a 0-5-1 record in the Group Stage. United qualified for this year's edition by winning the 2008 U.S. Open Cup. The title gave United a berth in the preliminary round of the Champions League. D.C. United reigned as champions of the region in 1998, defeating CD Toluca 1-0 to win the CONCACAF Champions' Cup.
Broadcasting and P.A. Request: When speaking of the organization, please refer to the team as either "D.C. United" or "United," but not "the D.C. United" or "the United." We appreciate your cooperation.

SoonerNation and HornsNation are kicking off Red River Rivalry in July week with a look at both schools' starting quarterbacks.
Which signal-caller will have the better 2013 season: Texas' David Ash or Oklahoma's Blake Bell?
Read William Wilkerson's argument for Ash and Jake Trotter's argument for Bell here.
Here's a sampling of each side.
Wilkerson on Ash:
Ash should also play more relaxed knowing that he's the unquestioned quarterback of the team, which Mack Brown anointed him heading into spring practice. That's more than Bell can say for the moment, and something Bell could struggle to maintain if he can't lead OU through a daunting first half of the season.
That said, give me the quarterback who has at least thrown a touchdown pass in college.
Trotter on Bell:
With four interceptions and a woeful completion percentage, Ash has been awful in two tries against the Sooners, who, as a result, have effectively ended both contests before halftime.
We don't know yet what kind of quarterback Bell will be. We don't even know for sure he'll be OU's quarterback on Oct. 12. But nothing Ash has done in the OU-Texas game evokes much confidence. Which is why I'll take the unknown.

NEW YORK, May 7 (UPI) -- The chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Stephen Friedman, resigned Thursday, rejecting suggestions his service on the board is "improper."
Friedman simultaneously sat on the board of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. while serving as chairman of the New York Fed. In his resignation letter to board President William Dudley, Friedman noted that he had agreed to remain on the board last fall after Goldman Sachs became a bank holding company.
Friedman held a substantial stake in Goldman Sachs while the Fed developed a strategy to help Wall Street banks survive the financial crisis, The New York Times reported Thursday. The Fed issued a policy waiver requested by the New York Fed, but while the Fed considered the request, Friedman acquired 37,300 Goldman shares -- which have gained $1.7 million in value, the Times said.
New York Fed General Counsel Thomas C. Baxter issued a statement Thursday saying "it is my view that these purchases did not violate any Federal Reserve statute, rule or policy."
However, The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Friedman's role at Goldman constituted a violation of Fed policy.
"Today, although I have been I compliance with the rules, my public service motivated continuation on the Reserve Bank Board is being characterized as improper," Friedman wrote in his letter to Dudley. "The Federal Reserve System has important work to do and does not need this distraction."
The New York Fed said Denis M. Hughes, deputy board chairman, will serve as interim chairman, the Times reported.
