Charlie Sheen called into a nationally syndicated radio show on Thursday and unleashed a shocking rant in which he attacked Alcoholics Anonymous and his hit CBS show, "Two and a Half Men."
"I was told if I went on the attack, they would cancel the show and all that and so I'm just sort of seeing if they're telling the truth or not," Charlie claimed to host Alex Jones in an interview for his radio show, "The Alex Jones Show," on Thursday, referring to his CBS bosses.
"Are they happy with the $5 billion they already made off me or do they think they can turn it into $10 [billion] in a couple more seasons?" Charlie continued. "I'm just saying, you know [the show] is a runaway freakin' juggernaut."
Charlie made it abundantly clear he doesn't believe the show can survive without him, telling Alex, "Watch your ratings, dudes. Watch your stupid ratings.
"Do what you've gotta do — I'll go make movies with superstars and not work with idiots," he threatened.
The 45-year-old also blasted show creator Chuck Lorre, calling him a "turd" while claiming that he embarrassed Chuck "in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that his un-evolved mind cannot process."
Charlie claims to be 100 percent sober, though he refuses to use the word "sober" because it is a term used by "those people," AKA Alcoholics Anonymous.
"I've cleansed myself," Charlie told Alex of how he claims to have rid himself of addiction. "I closed my eyes and in a nanosecond, I cured myself from this ridiculous model of disease and addiction and obsession… The only thing i'm addicted to right now is winning.
"I have a disease?" he later added. "I cured it with my brain, with my mind. I'm cured. I'm done."
Charlie went on to further rip into the 12-step program, calling AA — for which he has attended meetings in the past — a "cult" and "a bunch of losers," who he claims are "brainwashing his family."
"I don't know enough about what I call the 'Church of the Martian Idiots' truly to comment on what they profess to believe in," Charlie told Alex of AA. "I always thought of [it] as like a really complicated long joke with no good punch line… 22 years around those impressive clowns and losers — I just, you know, finally extracted myself from their troll hole and started living my life the way I want to live it because AA does not teach you how to live your life the way you want to live it.
"[AA] is vintage, it's outdated, it's stupid and it's worshiped by stupid people and it is their fault," he continued. "It's like, 'Oh you can't blame people for, you know, being dumb.' It's like, they're as dumb as what they've been taught… Step up and change it, change it right now. Look your father in the eye and say, 'You're wrong, I'm different I'm better, watch me, watch me bury you.'"
"Man, Charlie, you're describing this — you're saying you've come out of a cult after 20 years and that's why you're on fire?" Alex asked.
"They suffocated my soul, they hijacked my brain, they brainwashed my friends and my family," Charlie told the host. "Now I hate them violently and I will use every soldier in my army to defend myself against them, 'cause they will come at me. They will come at me with all of their doctors and their talking heads and all their other freakin' loser clowns.
"And shame on these outlets that give these people the time to speak about me," Charlie continued. "How dare they speak of me? We've never met — how dare they? That's another thing, another one of my credos. Everybody has a blackbelt and carries a gun. I don't mess with people — I don't get up in people's grills and tell them, you know, 'I must now impose my silly will on you.'"
In a statement released to Access on Thursday, a spokesperson for Alcoholics Anonymous responded to Charlie's comments saying, "People have a right to their opinions. We've been around for 75 years and have helped millions of people obtain sobriety.
"There are many paths to sobriety, sometimes through spirituality, through medication, through therapy, a lot of different ways," the statement continued. "We just know that AA has worked for millions of people. We are not a cult but we are a powerful movement "
Despite his seemingly outrageous behavior, Charlie said he plans on being back to work at his CBS show when production resumes on Tuesday.
"I'll be early," he told Alex. "I don't sleep – I wait."
While it was previously reported that Charlie would return to the set on February 28, his rep, Stan Rosenfield, told the Associated Press on Thursday that the actor plans to return to work on Tuesday, March 1.
Rosenfield had no comment on Charlie's latest interview when contacted by Access Hollywood on Thursday, nor did Warner Brothers, which produces "Two and a Half Men."

Hi, I'm Joe Jacobi
I figured out by age 10 that the sport of kayaking was my path forward. A challenging activity I enjoyed with my friends that transported me to off-the-grid destinations that counter-balanced my suburban Washington, D.C. upbringing.
By 16, I was competing internationally.
By 18, I stood on a World Cup podium.
At 22, with my canoe partner, Scott Strausbaugh, I won America's first ever Olympic Gold Medal in Whitewater Canoe Slalom.
My trajectory within the sport carried me to more Olympic Games – first, as an athlete, and next, as NBC televisions's color commentator for competitive canoeing.
Then I landed my dream job – CEO of USA Canoe/Kayak, the sport's Olympic and Paralympic governing body that supports America's best competitive paddlers.
In the process of supporting athletes, coaches, sponsors, committees, events, and volunteers, I forgot how to support myself.
My health unraveled.
I gained weight, clung to stress, formed poor habits, and disconnected with the very elements that I believed were my "super powers" going into the job.
Five years ago, I started to make some changes – very small and slow at first – with no big goals.
My physical health improved.
Other parts of my health slowly followed suit.

The Transpak skate bag looks really nice, and comes in several different colours and two different sizes (one for figure skates, and one for hockey and roller skates). It can take a while to get used to this bag, as the skates fit in the side pockets in a side ways upside down position that can take a while to master. The bags are quite expensive, however it is worth the money as it is much easier to carry these than the traditional one shoulder skate bag. The centre compartment can begin to… Read Full Review

WASHINGTON -- From abortion and workplace safety to the environment and judicial nominees, President Bush is reshaping federal policies with bold conservative strokes while tempering his actions with words and gestures aimed at the political middle.
Bush's right-leaning agenda has drawn criticism that the new administration and its Capitol Hill allies are beholden to GOP special interests, particularly big business.
Just two months into a term he narrowly won, the president has loosened environmental restrictions on industries, banned federal spending on abortion-related activities overseas and cut the liberal-leaning American Bar Association out of vetting federal judges.
Those and other actions are evidence of a dramatic change in direction from President Clinton's eight-year term.
''Their special interests are running the government,'' said Democratic Party Chairman Terry McAuliffe, whose party's special interests held considerable sway under Clinton. ''The public won't stand long for this.''
But the president's strong poll numbers suggest Bush is succeeding in pleasing his core supporters while reaching out to moderate America. As Clinton tried from the left and President Reagan tried from the right, Bush's strategy is to soften his political edges without abandoning his ideological core.
''President Reagan acted and talked bipartisan, but behaved like a conservative,'' said Christopher Deering, political scientist at George Washington University. ''Bush is working from the same playbook.''
Analysts say most voters probably do not realize the scope of Bush's conservative agenda, and are neither turned off nor suprised by what they hear about it. It was a close election, but ''the people of America know they elected a Republican,'' GOP consultant Rich Galen said.
Bush has advocated a host of business-friendly actions with the support of banking, business and industry lobbies that donated millions of dollars to GOP campaigns.
He proposed a $1.6 trillion, 10-year tax cut plan that dedicates much of the savings to wealthy Americans.
He signed a bill to repeal Clinton-era rules designed to make the workplace safer, saying the regulations posed ''overwhelming compliance challenges'' for business.
And he stands ready to sign a measure passed by the GOP-led Congress to make it more difficult for people to erase their debts in bankruptcy courts.
''What the president has done ... are things that are good for employers, good for employees and good for the economy,'' said Lonnie Taylor, senior vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Under pressure from energy industry officials, Bush broke a campaign pledge and decided against regulating carbon dioxide emissions at power plants.
The Environmental Protection Agency plans to revoke a Clinton administration rule that would have reduced the acceptable level of arsenic in drinking water, citing the high costs of compliance to states, municipalities and industry.
The Interior Department, bowing to mining groups, decided to suspending new hard-rock regulations for public lands that would have strengthened environmental standards.
Reaching into the court system, the president withdrew several Clinton judicial nominees and put political adviser on a committee recommending nominees to the federal bench.
He stripped the bar association of its half-century role in reviewing judicial candidates, egged on by conservative lawmakers still bristling by the group's mixed review of Robert Bork which helped derail his Supreme Court nomination under President Reagan.
The horizon is filled with more opportunities for Bush to change the nation's course.
His administration is reviewing medical privacy rules opposed by the health industry, and critics wonder if anti-tobacco legislation and the antitrust case against Microsoft will lose steam under the new presidency.
The public seems to like the change; about 60 percent of voters give Bush high marks for his performance. Political scientist Deering said Bush projects a sense of kindness and fair-mindedness, which may be more important than a single policy.
Clinton earned high approval ratings by balancing his left-of-center policies with poll-tested rhetoric and methods. Gun control was a way to curb school shootings, the Demo-cratic president said, and he softened his abortion-rights position by prom-ising to make adoptions more common.
Working from the right, Bush has appealed to moderates by visiting inner-city schools to show his compassion for minorities; defending the carbon dioxide flip-flop by saying he needs to stave off an energy crisis; and inviting families to his speeches to focus attention on parts of his tax package that benefit middle-income tax payers.
His rhetoric also is tailored to help sell his ideology to mainstream Americans.
Though he would protect the health care industry with limits on damage awards, the president learned from GOP polling and focus groups to cast his patients' bill of rights proposal as a consumer-friendly way to avoid ''frivolous litigation'' and ''high insurance rates.''

text: Crown Limousine Services is a top knotch company with a staff that is very courteous and professional. They are priced fairly well, costing about 50 dollars an hour for a typical wedding party. The drivers will do the full service that is expected of them, such as opening doors for the guests etc. The down side however is that they offer few extras, such as bottles of water inside the limo. Most people are accustomed to having a mini bar for example inside the limo, and in this regard Crown limo came up short. The company is prompt and very polite. The drivers are also excellent compared to other companies. I recently used them for a friends wedding. The bride and groom were very impressed, as were the other members of the wedding party. Furthermore, the company was very accomodating to the other requests that the bride and groom made, some of which were unusual. For example, the bride needed to run some unexpected errands and the driver was more than willing to accomodate her at no extra charge. Overall, I would recommend the company, the only downside being the lack of extras inside the limousine.

Reconciliation will falter if it is used as a political football, insists PUP
A loyalist party linked to the UVF has set out its stall on the vexed questions of reconciliation and the past.
At a news conference in Belfast, the PUP said no political party here was "qualified to drive a process of reconciliation".
The comment was part of a statement, Transforming The Legacy, which spokesman Winston Irvine said was designed to affirm the PUP's commitment to reconciliation and developing a framework for dealing with the past. "However reconciliation is defined, we believe that it will not work if conceived as an extension of the political process," the document reads.
"In that instance reconciliation will become little more than a reinforcement of the two-horse political race that currently dominates. It will be about point-scoring and securing and protecting political interest.
"For reconciliation to work it must be a social rather than political process. That is, it must enable all sections of society to have a say and a stake in how the past is interpreted and memorised."
This document is being presented uch as an initial statement – something that will lead to a series of papers further detailing party thinking.
And, in part, it answers recent statements from republican leaders, including Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and Declan Kearney, on national reconciliation and an agreed Ireland.
"There needs to be a recognition that for the foreseeable future Northern Ireland is an integral part of the United Kingdom and reconciliation needs to be sought in the context of that political reality," the statement says.

Trying a new dish or exotic cuisine for dinner doesn't have to mean a trip out to a restaurant. In the greater Sacramento area, many grocery stores and small, often family-owned shops offer all the authentic, hard-to-find ingredients needed to make anything from Italian to Japanese to Mediterranean foods for dinner.
The Sacramento Press hit the streets to round up some of these ethnic grocery stores here in the city.
Sampino's Towne Foods
1607 F St.
Monday through Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Saturday 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Sampino's Towne Foods carries the essential items needed to make an authentic Italian dinner at home as well as foods made from family recipes accumulated throughout the years, said Bill Sampino, the father of owner Michael Sampino who has had many years of experience as a butcher in Sacramento.
For 17 years, Bill Sampino managed the meat department at a Corti Brothers and then moved on to work for David Berkeley Fine Wines/Foods for 19 years before retiring and deciding to open up the small store with his son and daughter-in-law Gabi Sampino.
They hand-make all of their fresh pastas, including ravioli, tortellini and agioloti throughout the day. There are 52 flavors of freshly made pastas with doughs flavored from tomato, basil and spinach to a chocolate dessert pasta.
The glass counters in the store display delicacies such as homemade meatballs, lasagna and timbale – an eye-catching Sicilian dish made with puff pastry filled with penne pasta, meatballs, hard-boiled eggs, salami, provolone, Parmesan cheese and mushrooms. They make a variety of sausages, including Calabrese and Sicilian styles, Bill Sampino said.
The cheeses, sandwich meats and desserts are imported weekly from Italy. Bill Sampino said that 90 percent of the desserts – such as their tiramisu, cannoli filled with authentic mascarpone cheese, frutti di bosco and a chocolate fudge cake – are imported weekly from Italy.
Carmen and Jose Chiapa from Natomas said they have been going to Sampino's Towne Foods for a couple of years, and they raved about all of the foods they have eaten there.
"They make the best sandwiches," said Carmen Chiapa, whose favorite sandwich is the Sampanini – a popular sandwich with slices of mortadella, coppa and salami meats and provolone and cheddar cheese on a ciabatta roll.
"The bread is so crispy, and the meat is delicious. It's not a heavy meal – it's a very light sandwich."
Mediterranean Market
1547 Fulton Ave.
Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Sunday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Since 1991, the family-owned Mediterranean Market has been providing customers with a variety of Arabic, Greek, Armenian, Turkish, Persian and other Mediterranean food products, said owner Sam Abughazaleh. Ninety-five percent of the products are imported from places such as Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, France, Belgium, Russia and Ukraine.
The Mediterranean Market carries more than 10 types of imported feta cheeses – including Greek, Armenian, Bulgarian, Jordanian and Russian – a large selection of extra-virgin olive oils imported from all over the Mediterranean and many different fresh olives.
An entire shelf is dedicated to different types of halva – a sweet candy made from sesame seeds – and tahini, a sesame product used to make hummus. An aisle is dedicated to different herbal teas and coffees, and there is a refrigerator filled will different types of cheeses. Rose water and pomegranate molasses used a lot in Mediterranean food and drinks can be found as well, Abughazaleh said. There are more than 100 different spices, both in bulk and in small amounts.
The butcher and meat section of the store carries all halal meats because the market caters to many people of Muslim religion that are required to eat halal meat, Abughazaleh said. Halal ensures that there is no torture for the animals when they are butchered by slitting the throat only once and allowing the blood to drain, he explained.
The meat selection includes naturally fed chicken, goat, lamb, veal and beef that are delivered every morning from Dixon Farms. Rice plates with meat and tabouleh salad are also made daily and typically sell out by 3 p.m., Abughazaleh said. Freshly made baklava is shipped to the store every day from Shatila Food Products, a bakery in Michigan.
Kaveri Indian Groceries
1148 Fulton Ave. Suite D
Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Friday through Sunday 11 a.m – 10 p.m.
Reena Suresh and her husband run Kaveri Indian Groceries, which opened in 2003. Suresh said the items at the store cater toward Indian, Sri Lankan and Pakistani foods.
Cumin, tumeric, garam masala and curry powder – the popular spices in Indian cuisine, according to Suresh – are just a few of the products that can be found in the aromatic shelves of spices. Suresh said they also carry 25 to 30 different kinds of lentils, a common staple in Indian cuisine. There is a wide variety of different rices, from Basmati to a red rice that Suresh said is lower in sugar and popular for those with diabetes.
Hard-to-find products such as ghee – a lightly flavored version of butter used in many Indian dishes – tamarind, chutney, relish and various kinds of pickles can be purchased at Kaveri Indian Grocery. Suresh said a popular item is the canned mango pulp that can be blended with yogurt to make the mango lassi drink found at Indian restaurants.
Frozen meals, curries and restaurant-style samosas are also available. Products are delivered twice a week from distributors in the Bay Area, which receive them from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Australia, Canada and other places overseas.
Suresh said the store carries fresh fruits and vegetables, including lychee, guava, okra, Thai chili, coconut and bittermelon whenever they are in season.
Corti Brothers
5810 Folsom Blvd.
Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Sunday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Corti Brothers started in 1947 downtown and over the years had different locations in Sacramento, and it is now a single store in East Sacramento.
Corti Brothers Corporation President Darrell Corti writes a newsletter that has gone out to customers nationally for almost 40 years. Through the store's website, customers from all over the country can view and order their products, according to Store Director Rick Mindermann, 51.
Prime rib roast, corned beef, lamb and veal are some of the items that can be purchased from the Corti Brothers meat section.
"We are a true butcher shop," Mindermann said. "Our veal is well-known because of the quality of the product that we have and the quality of the way it's butchered."
The store is also famous for the ravioli that they have been making since 1947, Mindermann said.
Corti brought and introduced real balsamic vinegar to the U.S. in 1982 and it is sold at the store, he added.
A full-service grocer and wine merchant, the store offers more than 1,000 different wines from all over the world, including the country of Georgia, Thailand and China, said Corti.
Occasionally, the store offers its own label of wine, which Corti selects. The store under its own label offers an early landed cognac from the 1970s. These cognacs are bought young in France, and the barrel is sent to England to mature in a government warehouse for decades and then are bottled and shipped to the US, Mindermann said.
"It's a long drive, but it's worth it," said Kye Phelps, a regular customer from Volcano, Calif. Phelps comes to shop at Corti Brothers monthly, and she said that she used to come weekly when she was still attending a church in Sacramento.
Oto's Markeplace
4900 Freeport Blvd.
Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Sunday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Oto's Marketplace is a family-owned Japanese specialty grocery store that has been in business for 35 years. After outgrowing their two previous locations the store has relocated to Freeport Boulevard. The grocery was started by Ted Oto in 1979. His wife, Mollie, runs the kitchen operations, his son Michael manages the meat and fish department and his other son, Russell, serves as the general manager. Ted's daughter, Florence Oto-Wong, helps out with kitchen operations, and his other daughter, Cheryl Inouye, assists with finances of the business, according to the Oto's Marketplace website.
"There are other Asian groceries that has Japanese products, but not as extensive as ours,"Oto said.
A wide variety of fresh seafood products such as shrimp, albacore, yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna and even octopus are offered in the store.
"We emphasize on the freshness of our fish, so you can eat it raw," General Manager Russell Oto, 53, said, describing the store's sushi-grade seafood selections, which are cut into blocks to be easily sliced into sushi or sashimi pieces.
The store's kitchen offers Japanese bentos – lunchbox-style packaging that has portions of chicken, rice and pickles, Oto said.
At the sushi bar, they offer nine different styles of freshly packed sushi rolls, such as the spider roll, California roll, spicy tuna roll and Unaten roll. Oto's sushi Chef Ray Yamamoto said that his California rolls – though they may have the same name as the ones offered in other Japanese restaurants and groceries – are different because his are made of 100 percent snow crab, others might use imitation snow crab.
The sushi bar also has an Oto's roll, an exclusive-to-the-store roll made of tuna, hamachi, salmon, albacore and crab stick roll topped with tobiko and green onions, Yamamoto said.
Specialized meat such as Kobe-style beef and Kurobuta pork are some of the rare items they sell in the store, Oto added.
"The mileage is not too important," said Fred Furukawa, a customer born and raised in Hawaii who now lives in North Sacramento. "It's getting what you want so that you can enjoy food and things. Oto's has the kinds of food and things that I grew up with."
Seafood City Supermarket
6051 Mack Road
Daily 8 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Philippine-imported shirts and bags, health and beauty products and handicrafts such as the Parol – a Filipino Christmas lantern – are some of the unique items sold at Seafood City, an Asian supermarket that specializes in Filipino ethnic goods.
The Sacramento store opened in November 2003 and is one in a chain of 22 stores in the U.S., said Store Manager Bernard Reyes.
Tilapia, pampano, salmon heads,mahi-mahi and milkfish are some of the fish they clean and fry for free, Reyes said. The seafood is delivered fresh to the store from the distribution center in Pomona, Calif. They also buy from local vendors specially for fresh meat and produce, he added.
Last year, the store opened Grill City, its own restaurant offering Filipino dishes including palabok noodles, lumpia (egg rolls), grilled salmon, grilled mahi-mahi, and even traditional Filipino lechon – roast pig – on the weekends, Reyes said.
Crispy pata – fried pork knuckles, chicken inasal and chicharon bulaklak are some of their ready-to-go hot foods, Reyes added.
Native Filipino condiments such as bagoong – a condiment made of salt and fermented fish or shrimp – and banana ketchup can be found on the aisles of the condiment section with other Asian ethnic condiments from wasabi to teriyaki sauces.
South Sacramento resident Lina Labra, 64, said that she goes to Seafood City to do her grocery shopping because it is the only place she can find all the ingredients she needs to cook her sinigang na bangus, a Filipino dish.

" Author: John Burn / Genre: Crime / Thriller "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Watch any TV show or film which has a reporter as one of the characters and you are sure to come across the old stereotype. Invariably its a man in his early 40s, unshaven and a bit skinny. No doubt they are standing around with a notebook or a tape recorder trying to get a rise out of celebrities by braying at them in a shrill cockney accent. In fact they could probably be easily be described in one word scumbag. Personally, I reckon that this is probably an overgeneralization and that although some tabloid journalists would fit into this mould the majority would not. But then again, who wants to watch a show or read a book about a normal person that happens to write news stories? Surely the scummier the better?
Take all the stereotypes of a tabloid journalist that I mentioned above and add a few of your own. This is the way to describe Max Chard, a nasty man, but funny. His job is to cover crime stories in a simple fashion for the readers of a popular daily newspaper. He comes across one of the best stories of his career when drinking with a pal. The body of a famous French woman has been fished out of the Thames and one of his sources wants to discuss the case with him. It turns out that the murder victim was an eco-friendly hero and we all know that no good deed goes unpunished. Chard soon realises that the case is more than just a simple case of murder as he goes of on a hunt to find a woman named Candy. Can Max and his photographer discover the reasons behind the murder, and more importantly the directions to the nearest pub?
As a former journalist himself its clear when reading Hack that John Burns has added many of his own experiences into the book. The camaraderie, hatred and other relationships that Chard has feel distinctly true to life giving the book a far deeper feeling that if an author was just making it up. Devoid completely from the central crime story we are give great insights into the tricks of the trade that a tabloid journalist does to get a story. This insider view of the hacks way of life is just one of the reasons this is a superior murder mystery.
Another great element are the characters, especially the central role of Chard. It is a difficult balance to make a likable anti-hero. Many a book that I have read has been ruined because the author has created a loathsome character that they assume you will like. If you fail to make the central hero engaging, the reader is likely to hate the book. The best way to make an unlikeable creation likable is by using humour. Chard is very funny and his wry observations make him a scumbag that you come to love. He is incredibly selfish and will do anything for the story, but when this story is important you get right behind him.
The rest of the cast of Hack are also well realised. Chards girlfriend is usually described via his point of view so she is not given the deepest role. The best parts are left to the suspects and other newspaper workers. The way in which Burns is able to create nasty pieces of work so easily means that you get behind Chard when he describes a Knight of the Realm as a stain on life. The sense of grime and corruption is in all the characters that are in Hack and it makes exploring the story fun. This quality of writing continues with the photographers and editors on the newspaper as all of them have their quirks that makes reading about them more than just filler.
Burns has proved himself a talented writer with the ability to create a great anti-hero and introduce interesting insights into the world of tabloid journalism. All of this would be undermined if the mystery that makes up the meat of the novel fell flat. Therefore, it is a joy when you realise you are in for a crime treat. For such a funny and light novel the central case is incredibly dark. Burns takes us far deeper into the crime than you would expect from a character like Chard. The book is no longer a romp from pub to bistro, but instead a real chase to get the story out and the killers in jail. The shift in tone is perfectly handled with Chard being able to use his jokes in the face of adversity. Even though the majority of the book has a comedic tone there is no belittling of the victims and the case is brilliantly well handled.
Hack is a fantastic example of a comedy crime book that works. By seamlessly blending humour and violence, Burns has you reading the book from cover to cover as fast as you can. Burns experience of being a journalist himself is evident on every page as you feel the deeper knowledge that he brings. The combination of a great story, engaging characters and interesting insights into the world of journalism make it a must read. If you like you heroes anti and your comedy black this could be just the book for you.

There were two splashes in London that night: the first was a body dropping into the Thames with a bullet hole in its head; and the second was tabloid crime hack Max Chard's exclusive story on the killing. But murder is only half the yarn.

Newbie question:
I am using dvdbackup and dvd2oneX
No problems with movies less than 120 min - how do i get a movie of 150 min on a 120 min DVD?

if you have a 3 hour movie set to 4444mb it will be that size no matter its length
same with only a 2 hour movie set to 4444mb
the difference is QUALITY! a 3 hour movie will not be as good quality as a 2 hour movie (the loss is nothing major)
but you can increase quality of long movies by
1. doing movie only
2. using the fixed ie RATIO: CONTSTANT setting
hope that makes since.

(George Sand, translated from French), "J'aime beaucoup les systèmes, le cas d'application excepté."
The minutes indication shouldn't be ignored, because it is obviously meaningful to a certain subset of people into making their own DVDs. If it didn't give any indication of how much material one could expect to fit on a disc, the 4.7gb number becomes even more meaningless. We all know, in fact, that DVD's actually hold 4.3gb ±.1gb of data.
I've found through my trial and error that most commercial DVD's have a variable bitrate between 3mbps and 9mbps, with a consistent average of around 4.5mbps, yielding movie-only of roughly 4.4gb for a 2 hour movie. When I capture my MPEG2 material off television at a constant bitrate of 4mbps, I get ... guess what ... 120 minutes per disc.
Actually, at 4 Mbps, you can fit 149 minutes of pure video (((4.37GB)*(1024 MB/GB))/((4 Mbps)/(8b/B)))/(60 sec/min) = 149 minutes not counting audio track (minimal impact). But that's besides the point. MPEG2 can look good at DVD resolution at around 2-2.5 Mbps with the right source and encoder, yielding about 238 - 298 minutes. This is not counting the 128 bps AC3 audio track, but illustrates the highly variable amount of playtime you can fit in 4.377 GB (4700000000 bytes / 1024 bytes/kB / 1024 kB/MB / 1024 MB/GB). 120 minute DVD-R media can fit more than twice that, making that value pretty useless in my book. For audio CDs, on the other hand, the data is always at the standard CDDA bitrate, and so you can say exactly how much playtime you can fit in a certain space. For DVDs, however, this is ridiculous.I like systems, their application excepted. (George Sand, translated from French), "J'aime beaucoup les systèmes, le cas d'application excepté."
as has been brought up before.. the "120 minutes" printed on DVD-R's is usually referring to a recording setting on the set-top DVD recorders.
of course this isn't said anywhere by the makers of the discs.. which leads us to all this confusion.Swim with me
And we'll escape
All the trouble
Of the present age
Finally free
People who love to whip out the MPEG Math™ always fail to acknowlege that those figures apply to the strictest constant bitrate ... which in itself is a misnomer ... CBR is more akin to "controlled" bit rate than anything else. And who makes a pure video DVD with no audio? A newbie?
I just love watching you two go back and forth
It wasn't a real-world situation, but merely a demontration that you can fit wildly varying amounts of playtime on a DVD depending on how you encode the video (and audio). For most people, 120 minutes is not an accurate representation of how much you can fit on a DVD. With DVDSP 1.x, lots of Mac users were encoding MPEG 2 at a CBR, and due to the encoder's limitations, live action video didn't look good below a certain bitrate (around 4-4.5 Mbps). Now, with DVDSP 2.x out, and a much better encoder capable of VBR encoding, multiple passes and many filters, they'll find they can fit a lot more playtime on the same DVD media. Since with good VBR encoding, the final output bitrate will depend largely on the source material (cartoons will use up a lot less bandwidth than the latest action movie), it is ridiculous to say you can fit a certain amount of playtime on a DVD-R. I agree this might be useful with set-top DVD recorders that record at a certain constant bit rate, but in that case, it is an exercise for the set-top recorder manufacturers to determine how much playtime their customers can fit at specific quality settings. The DVD-R media producers can have no way of knowing how the MPEG2 and various supported audio formats are going to be encoded, and so it is silly for them to try to advertise a certain playtime. All I'm saying is there is no such thing as a 120 minute DVD-R disc, but there certainly are 120 minute encoding setups for 4.7 GB DVD-R media. Whether or not these setups are common, or relevant to you is completely subjective. For people using iDVD, for example, their 4.7 GB media is 90 minutes worth of playtime.I like systems, their application excepted.

When I was working on ESPN's #NFLRank project, it didn't take long to put the ratings on the AFC North players. That is, except one.
The toughest player for me to grade was Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. His No. 24 ranking should come with an asterisk, or perhaps a question mark. When Roethlisberger is healthy, he's a top-five quarterback. When he's not, he plays like a bottom-five quarterback. You can argue that he's underrated because he has two Super Bowl rings and is hitting his prime at the age of 31. But you can make a case for him being ranked too high because his body has taken too many hits and he has faded the past two seasons.
I'm sure some are thinking that Roethlisberger's injuries shouldn't cloud his standing in the NFL. But when it comes to Roethlisberger, you have to factor them in because it determines his effectiveness. Plus, it's impossible to think about Big Ben without picturing him limping or wincing in pain. Since the 2011 season, here's a list of his injuries: foot, thumb, hand, ankle, shoulder and ribs. It would be easier to list what he hasn't hurt.
The major reason the Steelers haven't won the division or a playoff game the past two seasons has been a banged-up Big Ben. Before Roethlisberger suffered serious injuries in 2011 and 2012, the Steelers were 16-7 (.695) in games he started. And, while it's admirable and tough that he eventually returned, Roethlisberger and the Steelers weren't the same, going a combined 2-5 (.285).
In 2011, Roethlisberger ranked seventh in QBR (64.8) with 21 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in the first 14 games. But after he suffered a high ankle sprain, Roethlisberger lost two of his final three starts, including a wild-card game at Denver. During that rut, he ranked 22nd in QBR (41.7), with one touchdown and four interceptions.
It was essentially a replay in 2012, albeit a different injury. Even though there had been questions of a spat with new offensive coordinator Todd Haley, Roethlisberger looked like an MVP candidate in the first nine games, completing 66.1 percent of his passes and throwing 17 touchdowns to four interceptions. His QBR was 71.8, which was fifth best in the NFL. After he injured his shoulder and ribs, he connected on 56.4 percent of his throws, with nine touchdowns and four interceptions. Uncharacteristically, he struggled at crucial points late in games and posted a 38.8 QBR, 23rd in the league.
The Steelers have done their best to keep Roethlisberger healthy. They've invested two first-round picks (center Maurkice Pouncey and guard David DeCastro) and two second-rounders (tackles Mike Adams and Marcus Gilbert) in their offensive line to better protect him. They hired Haley as offensive coordinator to install a quick-hitting passing game that limits the time Roethlisberger has the ball in the pocket and the number of hits he'll take.
Roethlisberger said his optimism level has increased because his young offensive line has had time to develop and he has become more comfortable in Haley's system.
"I feel like this year could be one of my best," Roethlisberger recently told The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
This is a comeback year of sorts for Roethlisberger if you look at the national perception of him now. He is the No. 7 quarterback in ESPN's rankings, yet only one ahead of him has more Super Bowl wins (Tom Brady). Matt Ryan, who has one playoff victory, is two spots higher than Roethlisberger, who is 10-4 in the postseason.
Roethlisberger has watched other quarterbacks move past him financially as well. In 2008, he was the NFL's highest-paid player, averaging $12.75 million per season, with $33 million guaranteed. This year alone, Ryan ($18.95 average, with $59 million guaranteed), Joe Flacco ($20.1 million average, with $52 million guaranteed) and even Tony Romo ($17 million average, with $55 million guaranteed) have passed him.
If Roethlisberger has a strong season, he'll likely be in line for a new deal, given the fact that his salary-cap number is near $18 million. The challenge for Roethlisberger is to produce without his leaders in catches (tight end Heath Miller) and receiving yards (Mike Wallace) from a year ago. Wallace left for the Miami Dolphins in free agency, and Miller hasn't practiced since tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in January.
So, will Roethlisberger be ranked higher than No. 24 next year? If he can stay healthy, Roethlisberger will re-establish himself as an elite quarterback. If he can't, Roethlisberger and the Steelers will struggle again.

Both Brugmansia and Datura are exceptionally beautiful in containers. The tree-like Brugmansia provides a living trellis for annual vines such as Heavenly Blue Morning glory. Lantana couples beautifully with both Datura and Brugmansia as well.
Brugmansia are annual trees or shrubs (in our climate) with pendulous, not erect, flowers. Ranging in height from 6-30', most have tan, slightly rough bark and produce spiny fruit. The leaves are generally large and alternate, some with toothy margins and covered with fine hairs. Their common name refers to the large, very dramatic trumpet-shaped flowers. These may be single or double, growing 8-20" in length and up to 12" across. Color ranges from white through yellow to pink and even orange or red. Most also boast an attractive scent with citrus overtones, most noticeable in early evening.
Almost all varieties of Brugmanas and Datura are spectacular specimen plants ideally suited for the garden spotlight. Angel trumpets are awe inspiring as the centerpiece in containers. They can also be used to create dramatic backdrops in mixed borders that say, "WOW!" As they are most fragrant at night, and most have white or very light colored blooms, they are also ideally suited for moon gardens. Planted in tall pots or overhanging banks they form an intoxicating bower for evening garden parties or romantic dinners.
Datura is a genus of nine commonly recognized species. Its precise and natural distribution is uncertain due to its extensive cultivation and naturalization throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the globe. Within the Americas its distribution is mostly restricted to the U.S. and Mexico, where the highest species diversity occurs.
Daturas are herbaceous, leafy annuals or short-lived perennials which can grow up to 6' in height. Leaves are alternate, velvety textured, with a lobed or toothy margin. Flowers are erect or spreading, trumpet-shaped, and 2-8" long by 2-4" wide. Most are moderately to highly fragrant especially at night. Flower color varies from white to yellow, pink, and rich purple. They may be single to fully double in form. The fruit is a spiny capsule giving rise to its other common names of thorn apple and devil's apple. When ripe they split open releasing many seeds.
Several South American plants formerly thought of as Daturas are now considered as belonging to the distinct genus Brugmansia. Morphologically the two main differing characteristics are that Daturas are herbaceous annuals or short-lived perennials with erect flowers, while Brugmansias are woody shrubs or small trees with pendulous flowers. Other related genera include Hyoscyamus and Atropa.
Note that ALL parts of ALL members of both genera are highly toxic and may be fatal if ingested by humans, pets, or livestock.
Some varieties you can find at Portland Nursery include:
Brugmansia x insignis – Multi-stemmed shrub growing 12' tall by 8' wide.
'Jamaican Yellow' – Similar to above but with pale yellow blooms.
Brugmansia versicolor – Very floriferous shrub with extra-large flowers to 20" long.
'Peach' – Flowers open white then blush soft peach.
'Salmon' – As above but with brighter salmon coloring.
Brugmansia 'Butterfly Rose' – Heavy flushes of open, fragrant flowers in soft dawn pink.
Brugmansia 'Charles Grimaldi' – An easy cultivar, very floriferous, with golden yellow flowers. Reputedly the most cold hardy variety for overwintering in the ground.
Brugmansia 'Daybreak' – Blooms are a fadeproof, true lemon yellow.
Brugmansia 'Dr. Seuss' – Huge, golden peach blossoms.
Brugmansia ' Isabella' – Blush pink flowers with a powerful fragrance.
Brugmansia 'Miner's Claim' – An unusual cultivar with beautifully variegated foliage.
Brugmansia 'Sunray' – Blooms creamy white with yellow rays over lighter green foliage.
Datura meteloides syn. Datura inoxia – Annual easily grown from seed, to 3' tall and wide with fragrant white flowers, occasionally flushed pink.
Datura wrightii 'High Altitude Form' – A perennial form with profuse, large, flaring white flowers to 8" long, growing 2' tall by 4' wide.
Datura 'Ballerina' – Compact series growing to 1' in containers or 3' in the ground, flowering in white, yellow, or purple.
Datura 'Double Lavender' – Large, frilled, fragrant flowers in lilac on 3'-5' plants with glossy black/purple stems. Stunning!
Family: Solanaceae
Genus: Brugmansia, Datura
Common Name: Both Brugmansia and Datura are commonly called angel trumpets.
Origin: Native to subtropical regions of South America, along the Andes from Colombia to northern Chile, and also in southern Brazil.
Height: Brugmansia range in height from 6-30;' Datura range up to 6' in height.
Culture: Brugmansia are easily grown in moist, fertile, well-drained soil, in full sun to part shade, in frost-free climates (They are considered annuals in our climate). In warm climates flowering begins in early to mid-spring and continues until early winter. In temperate climates outdoor plants need protection. Potted plants can be moved into a greenhouse.
Plants in the ground can be heavily pruned to induce dormancy, dug up, and overwintered in a cool, dark place.
Datura are easily grown in part to full sun, in moist, well-drained soil. Outdoors in good locations the plants tend to reseed readily and may become invasive.
Both genera need good drainage and plenty of water. Infrequent, deep watering is preferable to constant, shallow watering.
Propagation & Overwintering: Most species of Brugmansia are easily propagated from cuttings taken from the end of a branch in summer. Brugmansia can be overwintered indoors in cool a cool dark place such as a basement.
Datura are usually grown each year from seed or starts, though with care plants may be overwintered.
Maintenance: Both genera are thirsty plants that will require frequent fertilizer application to promote continuous bloom. During the main growing season they should be fed with a bloom-boosting, water soluble fertilizer according to the package directions. In the ground they will likely need weekly, deep watering. In pots the frequency will likely increase to several times per week, or whenever the top 2-4" of soil is dry. Plants may be pruned for shaping or to control size. Frequent deadheading will promote continued bloom.
Pest and Disease: Both genera are commonly bothered by whiteflies, spider mites, and aphids. Occasionally cabbage worms, cucumber beetles, slugs, snails, mealy bugs, and fungus gnats may become a problem. Treat with appropriate insecticides, slug bait, or repellent products. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other fungal infections. Possible diseases include tobacco mosaic virus, tomato spotted wilt, fusarium wilt, verticillium wilt, Phytophthora, Phoma, and Botrytis.
Garden Uses: Almost all varieties are spectacular specimen plants ideally suited for the garden spotlight. Angel trumpets are awe inspiring as the centerpiece in containers. They can also be used to create dramatic backdrops in mixed borders that say, "WOW!" As they are most fragrant at night, and most have white or very light colored blooms, they are also ideally suited for moon gardens. Planted in tall pots or overhanging banks they form an intoxicating bower for evening garden parties or romantic dinners.

Mercury Retrograde
On July 4, 2006, Mercury, the cosmic magician, turns retrograde in Leo, the sign of the Lion, sending communications, travel, appointments, mail and the www into a general snarlup! This awkward period begins a few days before the actual turning point (as Mercury slows) and lasts for three weeks or so, until July 29, when the Winged Messenger reaches his direct station. At this time he halts and begins his return to direct motion through the zodiac.
Everything finally straightens out on August 12, 2006, as he passes the point where he first turned retrograde. Mercury turns retrograde three times a year, as a rule, but the effects of each period differ, according to the sign in which it happens (see box for Retrograde Periods in 2006).
A planet is described as retrograde when it appears to be moving backwards through the zodiac. This traditional concept arises in the illusory planetary motion created by the orbital rotation of the earth, with relation to other planets in our solar system. Planets are never actually retrograde or stationary, they just seem that way, due to this optical illusion.
Retrograde periods, although often problematic for us earthlings, are not particularly uncommon. Each planet retrogrades, except the Sun and Moon.
Fated Events
As a rule, retrograde planets presage a period of seemingly inevitable or fated events, which relate to their sphere of influence. They present us with a series of events over which we seem to have little or no control, relating especially to the sign in which the retrogradation occurs. For example, Mercury retrograde in Leo presents quite different sets of circumstances from those generated when it retrogrades into Cancer.
A retrograde period is best seen as a cycle, beginning when the planet begins to slow to a halt before travelling backwards through the zodiac and ending when the planet returns to the point where it first paused. However, during the cycle, the planet's energy is most powerful (and more likely to generate critical events of universal importance) when the planet makes a station, appearing motionless in the sky.
These stationary periods occur near the beginning of the cycle (when the planet first halts as it prepares to move backwards) and midway through the cycle when the retrograde planet slows to a stop before moving forward again. The "direct station" (when the planet halts before moving forward again) is the most powerful and can be used for maximum benefit.
Some astrologers consider that the "Mercury Shadow" begins some three weeks before the actual retro station (when Mercury passes the point of direct station for the first time), but I am more inclined to think that the really noticeable peculiarities begin when Mercury slows significantly, a few days before the retro station. This period of "Mercury Shadow" extends to the Return date, some three weeks after the direct station. Bear this in mind, because experience shows that the effects of the retro period are still marked during the "shadow" phase.
What does Mercury affect?
In general, Mercury rules thinking and perception, processing and disseminating information and all means of communication, commerce and transportation. By extension, Mercury rules people who work in these areas, especially people who work with their minds or their wits: writers and orators, commentators and critics, gossips and spin doctors, travellers, tricksters and thieves.
Mercury retrograde gives rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray, or awry.
It is therefore not wise to make important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is very likely that these decisions will be clouded by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking. Mercury is all about mental clarity and the power of the mind, so when Mercury is retrograde, these intellectual characteristics tend to be less acute than usual, as the critical faculties are dimmed.
The Key Issue
The key issue here is one of focus. Mercury's retro phase tends to bring unforeseen changes and blockages, but the aggravation and frustration that many of us experience during these periods is often due to our own inability to roll with the punches. Is this due to our ego-fixation? Mercury sets out to restructure our thinking processes and for many of us this is painful and frustrating. Moreover, these experiences reveal flaws in our internal organisation as well as our external planning, which can make us feel foolish and inadequate.
Mercury retrograde, like any cosmic aspect, affects people differently, depending on where it hits their personal charts. Some people actually prosper under a retro Mercury, especially if Mercury is retrograde but otherwise well-aspected in their birth charts. It is also a time when matters begun under a previous retro period will come to fruition, or completion as the case may be. Firm decisions that have been previously made when Mercury is travelling normally through the zodiac may be implemented or finalised while Mercury is retrograde without too much worry, for experience shows that this can be done without undue problems arising.
Mercury Retrograde in Leo
When Mercury is retrograde, everyone's thinking is more introspective and we tend to think about issues and concerns which relate to the sign involved. With Mercury retrograde in Leo, people with this sign prominent in their charts will be especially prone to such introspection. There is little choice but to reconsider our personal views and opinions about life. There is, however, an opportunity to gain insight into our own ego.
Mercury retro in Leo gives confusion regarding high ideals and aspirations. People tend to be outspoken or quick-tempered, and their kind-hearted impulses can be misplaced, due to getting the facts wrong. Leaders and those in high places are subject to delusion and error, especially as nebulous Neptune is in opposition and lordly Jupiter is square. They tend to appear haughty, proud and passionate. Individuals find dramatic ways to communicate and are quick to refute ideas that disagree with their own. A love of children and a fondness for pleasure should not be allowed to get out of hand. Love affairs can be fickle and inconstant, due to egotistical presumptions. Avoid gambling and those who display a low and sensual nature. Attend immediately to back and chest pains.
When Mercury moves back to Cancer on July 11, the need to revisit emotional commitments will become more present. Family issues are likely to arise and you may need to review decisions regarding your residence and any career moves you have in mind.
All areas of communication are affected, especially in matters related to romance, self-expression, creative and dramatic endeavours or anything to do with children, investment, public standing and speculative ventures in general. This period brings travel snafus and missed appointments of all kinds. Documents can go astray. Be sure to carry a diary and refer to it often.

Very OT, but worth ago.
I have some alloy wheels on my car, and I have "lost" one of the center caps which cover up the bolts on the alloy wheel and I am damned if I can find any replacements.
The outside width of the hub which I measured last night is 165mm.
So anyone have any idea where I can track some down

The last photo we ran showed a new sedan from Kia. Long known for its small, inexpensive cars, Kia is introducing the 2014 Cadenza, a large car along the lines of the Toyota Avalon and the Buick LaCrosse.
For a better picture and a review of the Cadenza, read this week's road test.
Chosen randomly from the correct entries was PJ Rodgers, of Evans.
Other readers identifying the Cadenza were:
CANTON, GA.: David Anderson wrote: "Manufacturers over the years have spent millions of product development dollars to name new models. Camaro, Mustang, Corvette, Charger – they just would not be the same if they had been named anything else.
"On the other hand, could a different name have helped Edsel, Corvair or even the Vega? Until the concept of time travel is a reality, I guess we will never know.
"It is probably no accident then that the word cadenza (according to dictionary.com) is a musical term meaning 'an elaborate flourish or showy solo passage, a virtuoso solo passage.' The new Kia Cadenza is introduced as a premium sedan for a customer to step up into from the Optima. Although very similar in size and stature, the Cadenza offers just enough unique 'flourish' to attract someone looking for 'a little more.'
"Some of that additional flourish includes a more powerful V-6 that is both smoother and quieter than either of the Optima's four-cylinder choices.
"Although there are only three available 'options' in the form of a Luxury Package, a Technology Package or a no-cost White Leather interior package, these packages contain individual items that either are not available on the Optima or are optional on only the highest-trim level.
"One such item is 'hydrophobic' front side window glass. Yes, the glass is afraid of water and will repel it for a clearer view. I wonder if this means a bottle of Rain-X is included in the glove box?
"As with all new model introductions, the buying public will determine whether this 'aria' is magnificent or laborious and shrill. Since a musical cadenza usually occurs towardsthe end of a performance, let's hope there is no further symbolism in the choice of the name relative to Kia's future."
EVANS: Wayne Wilke wrote: "The car is
a 2014 Kia Cadenza, which will go on sale this summer. It will compete with its Hyundai/Kia stablemate (the Azera), the Toyota Avalon and Chevrolet Impala, all of which are good-looking cars. It will have the same 3.3-liter, 293-horsepower V-6 engine and six- speed automatic transmission as the Azera."
MARTINEZ: Jim Muraski
PERRY, FLA.: Larry Anderson
SHAWANO, WIS.: Karen McKenna
WARRENVILLE.: James Covar said: "The Cadenza is a brand-new car to the market this year."

Yesterday was so much fun. After my nut butter extravaganza of a breakfast, Alice (my mother-in-law) drove Deb and I to the Gateway Trailhead at the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. There we met up with Bekah from Beek Eats and her mom, Tenaya. Look, aren't they so cute? 🙂
Sweet Bekah brought me a bag of her homemade granola (amazing Beeks!) along with a bag of Yogi Chips. I've been coveting Bekah's beloved yogi chips every time she mentions them on her blog. So good you guys – notice the empty bag. I am so hoping I can find these in Nashville!
Alice led us on 6.4 mile hike up to Inspiration Point and back. Bekah, me, and Deb pre-hike…
Along the trail…
Alice leads hikes through the Preserve as a volunteer steward, and her knowledge of the surrounding area is amazing as are her hiking abilities. The first 3 miles were up up up.
After our 3 hour hike, we drove to The Pita Jungle for lunch with another one of my all-time favorite girls, Jenn from Eating Bender. Jenn and I met up over the holidays in Arizona last year, and I'm so glad she was able to join us!
We started with hummus and Baba Ganoosh with whole wheat pita.
For my meal, I ordered the Lavosh Shawarma Wrap with broccoli.
Gosh it was good, and afterwards, we all walked next door to The Gelato Spot for a little dessert. Deb treated me to a scoop of Cookie 'N' Creme. Thanks Deb!
Dairy free? Um, nope, but worth every bite.
Hiking in the sunshine + hummus with friends + gelato = my idea of a perfect day. Unfortunately, CD had to stay behind. Poor boy is still sick. 🙁
Many thanks to Alice for leading us on such a great hike, to Bekah and Tenaya for driving 2 hours from Tucson to join us, to Deb for driving 4 hours from CA, and to Jenn for meeting us for lunch. I love you all! 🙂

Recent data analysis from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation shows the seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts dropped to 197,900 units in January.
In December 2011, housing starts reached 199,900 units, but that number took a hit at the start of the new year. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts dropped 2.8 percent to 176,600 units in January and urban single starts dropped 7.8 percen to 64,900 units.
"The slight decrease posted in January was attributable to a decrease in Quebec and in Atlantic Canada," said Mathieu Laberge, deputy chief economist at CMHC's Market Analysis Centre. "The multiple starts segment accounted for most of the reduction in those two regions."
Canada is also in the midst of a critical situation surrounding mortgage rates. A Mortgage Rate Outlook Panel recently announced that it is expecting both variable and fixed mortgage rates to remain level during February. This announcement comes in contrast to recent fluctuations in fixed and variable mortgage rates that have confused many Canadians on where mortgage rates are headed in the coming months.

One case of whooping cough found at Park Rapids Area Century School
PARK RAPIDS - 'Tis the season for coughs and colds but a more severe disease, whooping cough, has been found across Minnesota, including one confirmed case in Park Rapids.
A student at Park Rapids Area Century School was confirmed to have whooping cough, or pertussis, last week, said Century school nurse Marianne Gilbertson.
Letters were sent home with students last week to notify them of the confirmed case.
Whooping cough is spread through bacteria from person to person through the air. A person with whooping cough typically has a severe cough that lasts four weeks or longer, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.
First symptoms are similar to a cold and include sneezing, runny nose, a low-grade fever and a cough. After one or two weeks, the cough becomes severe, according to the Department of Health and is noted by the following:
-The cough occurs in sudden, uncontrollable bursts where one cough follows the next without a break for breath.
-Many children will make a high-pitched whooping sound when breathing in after a coughing episode. Whooping is less common in infants and adults.
-During a coughing spell, the person may vomit.
-The person's face or lips may look blue from lack of oxygen.
-The cough is often worse at night.
-Between coughing spells, the person seems well, but the illness is exhausting over time.
-Coughing episodes gradually become less frequent, but may continue for several weeks or months until the lungs heal.
In 2007, 393 cases of whooping cough, or pertussis, were reported, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.
In a health advisory issued by the Minnesota Department of Health, outbreaks have occurred this fall throughout Minnesota and highlight the need for increased booster vaccine coverage for adolescents.
Whooping cough can be treated with antibiotics but that might not cure symptoms, according to the Department of Health.

Good! That's why I'm doing this really.
2013-04-20 05:53:55
I bet there is a hidden secret behind that "chicks w/ dicks" poster :P
Hah, who knows...
2013-04-20 09:00:00
Shouldn't you make the stoner's locker (the one right next to the gate, and has the marajuana) have a tint of orange?
Yes you're right, the background does have that but because I did an overlay over the lockers for the lockerdoors it got hidden. Will fix that.
2013-04-20 09:51:09
Such fine character designs.. i shall follow you now or never
2013-04-20 09:51:41

This looks pretty sweet!
2013-04-20 12:26:24
This is looking awesome, though it's weird getting updates on game where you know what's going to happen in it.
Well I guess the remake is more for nostalgic reasons than really being a new game to play.
2013-04-20 14:06:51
Awesome, can't wait this!
2013-04-20 16:56:18
Cool. Fan'd you because of this! Want to try it! :D

2013-04-25 16:44:11
Getting better and better! Only two days left now...
How is that medal-unlocking-based-on-medal-from-a-differen t-game coming along?
Medal failed. Newgrounds security sandbox is set-up so the medal works on NG dump but if you upload the file to the portal it fails :(
2013-04-27 07:38:44
If you restart the game after losing on Alucard, the game breaks after the first cutscene.
Yep, fixed that just now! Thanks for letting me know, it's horrible to only have a few hours for bug testing :(

Amr Diab leaves Rotana for Good News
Producer Ahmad Al Dasouki, manager of the production company Good News for Music, has announced that he is in the process of signing a contract with Egyptian superstar Amr Diab. The contract will be signed after the singer releases his last album "Khaleek Ma'aya" (Stay with me) with his current production company Rotana.
Al Dasouki stated during a press conference which was held at the department of journalist at Cairo University that Amr has not yet joined them, but they are in the process of finalizing the contract with the singer once the album is released.
Ahmad Zughoul, Diab's business manager, has also revealed that the new album will be released in the upcoming few days and that the singer will be leaving Rotana for the new company.
On a different note, President of the Egyptian Television Network Suzan Hasan made revealed to "Al Safeer" (The Ambassador) magazine that famous Egyptian singer Amr Diab will be presenting a new weekly program titled "Al Awal" (The First).
The show will discover new rising stars who are good at writing songs, composing and singer them. Hasan stated that details for the new show are being finalized at this time to have it ready for production.
"Al Safeer" magazine called Amr Diab's office to see if the rumor is true, and his office manager stated that the famous singer Diab, who's been away from the media, has met with the Egyptian Minster of Information. Their meeting lasted more than one hour.
The Minster had presented the idea of being the host for the new show "Al Awal" (The First) to the famous Egyptian star. Diab not only welcomed the idea, he also went into details on how to make the show a success.
After agreeing to the details of the program, the new show will most probably be aired on second Egyptian Channel on Thursday of every week. Every episode of the show will last for approximately one hour and a half.
On the program the contestants will go through two stages: the first will be a competition for all contestants coming from every Egyptian providence. They will compete against each other in singing, composing, and poetry. There will be a week scheduled for every providence.
There will be a judging committee for choosing the best performers. The judges for this program will be musician Amar Al Sharee'i and the poet Sa'ed Hijab.
Diab has made it clear to the Minister that he will sponsor the winners and will give them the support they need to become successful and famous. He also stated that this program will discover new faces from poor areas in Egypt where they are not able to make something of themselves for the lack of money.
This show will be only for Egyptian rising stars and will have no voting methods on it. Preparation for the show will start by the end of the current month. Negotiations are currently underway to select the television channel that will broadcast the show and to set a budget for it.
