Rep. Jeff FlakeJeffrey (Jeff) Lane FlakeGOP rushes to cut ties to Moore Flake on Moore defenders: 'This cannot be who we are' GOP senators raise concerns over tax plan MORE (R-Ariz.) is broadening his earmark fight to take on House ethics rules regarding campaign contributions.
Flake forced the ethics committee to publicly launch an earmarks probe into the link between campaign contributions and the now-defunct PMA Group by offering nine resolutions demanding an investigation.
And ever since the FBI raided the lobbying firm's offices earlier this year, Democratic leaders have been under pressure to address the apparent link between earmarks and campaign contributions. Three senior Democrats on the appropriations panel, Reps. Pete Visclosky (Ind.), John Murtha (Pa.) and Jim MoranJim MoranDems face close polls in must-win Virginia Billionaire Trump donor hires lobbyists to help vets Lawmakers: Chaffetz has a point on housing stipend MORE (Va.), have doled out millions of dollars for PMA clients, and both the firm and its clients have showered the trio with campaign donations.
Each time Flake has offered the resolution, more Democrats defected to support it. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) recently offered his own resolution calling on the ethics committee to disclose whether it was investigating the PMA matter. Late last week, the ethics committee publicly acknowledged that it had launched a probe.
Earlier Thursday Flake submitted to the Rules Committee an amendment to the legislative branch appropriations bill that would prevent any money in the bill from being used by the ethics committee to implement its guidance that campaign contributions do not constitute a "financial interest."
The most ardent opponent of pork-barrel politics in the House, Flake wants the ethics committee to change its rules regarding what constitutes a "financial interest" when it comes to earmark certification letters. In essence, he argues, campaign contributions a member receives should be considered "financial interest" in light of the recent pay-to-play political corruption scandals.
Last year, Democratic leaders instituted changes to the earmark rules to address concerns about the potential for personal corruption posed by earmarks. The changes required lawmakers requesting earmarks to sign a letter certifying that they and their families have no "financial interest" in the entity receiving the earmark.
Usually there are very few amendments to the legislative branch spending bill, so Flake believes Democrats will have a tough time denying the amendment's inclusion. If it's included, the amendment would force lawmakers to vote on whether or not they believe the relationship between campaign contributions and earmarks ought to be severed, according to Flake's spokesman.
Two weeks ago, Flake submitted a lengthy white paper to the ethics committee arguing for changing the rules to include campaign contributions in what constitutes a financial interest.
The House Rules Committee will meet Thursday at 3 p.m. to consider amendments to the legislative branch spending bill. The House is scheduled to vote on the measure Friday.

I used photoshop for most of it, I used clip studio paint for some of the background elements and the eyes, some of the fur and feathers. I used pen and paper for some of the plants and stuff, then photoshop to combine the parts. Thanks!

Where One Canadian Mining Company Goes, Violence Seems To Follow
Canadians have heard almost nothing from the dominant media about Banro's violent quest for billions of dollars in minerals. The little that has been reported is mostly the company justifying its operations. But where are the voices of ordinary Congolese? Don't they deserve to be heard?

Karen Handel, a focus of criticism for her outspoken opposition to Planned Parenthood, has stepped down as vice president of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
In her resignation letter, obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Handel acknowledged her role in the decision to de-fund Planned Parenthood, but said the actions were not based on politics or ideology.
Handel was hired by Komen after running unsuccessfully in 2010 as a pro-life candidate for governor of Georgia.
Komen has since restored Planned Parenthood's eligibility for funding and apologized to its supporters.

Women gain weight during the term of pregnancy and it is not always easy to lose this weight after the delivery. While some may be able to lose weight gained during pregnancy naturally, most women struggle to go back to their previous weight and shape before conception. The weight loss medication Phentermine is not indicated for treatment in pregnant women as it will affect the growth of the developing fetus, which requires weight gain in order to be healthy. Even after the delivery, the drug should not be taken to lose weight if the person is breastfeeding the baby. It is medically proved that traces of the drug can pass through breast milk and this would show up as symptoms in the newborn with decreased appetite, agitation, diarrhea, stomach pain, and trouble sleeping.
The best time to take Phentermine after pregnancy is to ideally wait six weeks, then get a consultation with your doctor on your current health condition and getting the prescription for the drug. In the case of nursing the newborn, it is important to wait until you wean the baby off of breast milk to begin the weight loss treatment with Phentermine. This would ensure that you're neither harming the baby nor yourself. Once you receive the prescription from your physician to lose the extra twenty pounds or so that you may have gained during pregnancy, you can safely order the weight loss pills from us.
How Phentermine works
Phentermine is available under the brand name Adipex, which has the same active ingredient that promotes the weight loss. The drug works by stimulating the brain to feelings of being full, thereby suppressing the appetite and reducing the feelings of hunger. The anorectic pill should not be taken along with similar diet pills or antidepressants as they can combine to cause dangerous adverse reactions. The typical dosage strength is 37.5 mg. Since controlling the appetite is not recommended during pregnancy and sufficient nutrition is required to keep the mother and baby healthy, this drug should never be taken during this period.
How to take Phentermine safely after pregnancy?
The first step to taking Phentermine safely post pregnancy is to wait a few months to see if there are any post-delivery health complications that require treatment. The anti-obesity drug is indicated for short-term treatment only and should not be taken for longer than the prescribed course. One should never double the dose, self-medicate, or increase or decrease the dose without the assistance of a medical practitioner. Phentermine should be taken exactly as prescribed. The anorectic is a stimulant that is best taken an hour before breakfast or early in the day for it to be effective throughout the day. Taking the drug later than indicated will cause trouble sleeping. With a baby on hand to take care of, you wouldn't want to be kept awake with a weight loss pill. Most importantly, take measures to ensure that the drug's effects are never passed on to the baby even through breast milk.

Keyboarding- A Literacy Skill?
The answer is a resounding, YES! In reviewing a number of literacy and study skills checklists located on the internet, by third grade, students need to be able to use computer software to locate information for content areas in both science and social studies. On some checklists, students are required to access and use computer software to read e-books. Keyboarding is not just a way to address poor handwriting skills. Students are expected to use computers to analyze data from projects in the classroom. Keyboarding is an essential skill for college preparation and future employment.
- "Keyboarding is a cumulative skill – what can be effectively learned at one level depends heavily upon what has been learned earlier. If hunt 'n peck habits become ingrained, it becomes much more difficult to develop a competent keyboarding skill. You need that basic foundation early on."1
- Based on the standards of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), keyboarding literacy needs to begin in the early years to prevent the development of hunt 'n peck habits. Exposure to and interaction with technology needs to begin no later than four years of age.
- Keyboarding speed, keyboarding accuracy and keyboarding method are the three most important factors in assessing keyboarding skill.
- A review of a number of anecdotal resources [as far back as the 1930's] on keyboarding in schools reveals that elementary school teachers have reported that students demonstrate improvement in sentence structure. Language arts capabilities also improve with the use of word processing programming.
When Should A Child Begin To Learn The Keyboard?
Based on ISTE standards, pre-school children should know how to negotiate a simple menu on the computer screen using a mouse; begin to create stories using pictures and simple letters/words; identify power keys, such as ENTER and the spacebar; use technology terms, such as camera, battery and computer; and turn smart toys on and off.
Laurie Edwards, in her article on Education.com, states "Computer classes are taught in most kindergarten and elementary schools, so preschoolers who are already familiar with the operation of the keyboard and mouse will be ahead of the learning curve. They may also have an advantage if they have the opportunity to play with educational programs, as many learn reading and number skills from computer software. Some experts suggest that allowing preschoolers to have computer time can be beneficial because computer use: Introduces educational skills; Teaches spatial and logical skills; Stimulates language comprehension; Increases self-esteem and self-confidence; Prepares children for future computer use; Improves long term memory and manual dexterity; Boosts problem solving skills.

Man dies after accidentally drinking crystal meth he mistook for health drink
A man has died after drinking from a bottle of liquid methamphetamine - otherwise known as crystal meth - after he mistook it for a health drink.
Romano Dias had been given a bottle of what appeared to be a fruit drink by his daughter after it was delivered to her home - the wrong address.
After drinking around half a glass of the liquid in his Cambridgeshire home, the 55 year old was immediately taken ill and subsequently died.
His partner, Debra Dulson said in a statement that Mr Dias took a gulp of the drink, told her it tasted awful and that his throat was burning. He then said: "I am in trouble here. I am dying, I am dead."
Analysis of the bottle's contents revealed that rather than holding what it said on the label, the bottle contained £34,000 of pure methamphetamine.
According to reports in the Cambridge News, an inquest into his death heard that his daughter, Katee, had found the drink in a package left outside her home. It had her address on it but under a different name.
She picked up the parcel expecting someone to collect it. When no one did after six months, she opened the package to find the bottle. Much later - around three years after the delivery - she gave it to her father.
Detective Inspector Ian Simmons said that the family had not been in anyway connected with the drug. "I would say it is highly likely it was destined for a dealer," he said.
"This was a completely unaccountable and unforeseen chain of events."
"The £34,000 is a significant amount," he told the inquest. "It is unique, this is not an event that happens in Cambridgeshire or elsewhere."
Pathologist Dr John Grant said the level of methamphetamine consumed was well above the lethal dose.
Coroner William Morris concluded that the death was accidental. "This is a dreadful case," he said.
Crystal meth is a potent class A drug which is normally smoked, snorted or injected.
Although relatively rare in the UK, it has been brought to the British public's attention by US show Breaking Bad, which tells the story of a science teacher who starts producing the drug.

Nation pays tribute to veterans
By CHRISTINA HOAG
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — From sea to shining sea, the nation paid tribute to its members of the armed services Sunday, both with somber traditions such as a Virginia wreath-laying ceremony attended by President Barack Obama to honor those who didn't make it back from active duty, and more lighthearted perks including red-carpet treatment at Las Vegas casinos for those who did.
In California, a long legal case drew to a close as a war memorial cross that had been deemed unconstitutional was being resurrected Sunday in the Mojave desert, capping a landmark case for veterans fighting similar battles on public lands.
Sunday marked the official commemoration of Veterans Day, but the federal holiday will be observed today.
President Barack Obama laid the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia and noted that this is the first Veterans Day in a decade with no American troops fighting and dying in Iraq, and that a decade of war in Afghanistan is coming to a close.
In a speech at the Memorial Amphitheater, he said America will never forget the sacrifice made by its veterans and their families.
"No ceremony or parade, no hug or handshake is enough to truly honor that service," the president said, adding that the country must commit every day "to serving you as well as you've served us."
He spoke of the Sept. 11 generation, "who stepped forward when the Towers fell, and in the years since have stepped into history, writing one of the greatest chapters in military service our country has ever known."
Over the next few years, he said, more than 1 million service members will make the transition to civilian life. "As they come home, it falls to us, their fellow citizens, to be there for them and their families, not just now but always."
Later, the president and his wife, first lady Michelle Obama, and Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, greeted families in the cemetery's Section 60, home to graves of service members killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In California, a war memorial cross that once stood on a rocky hilltop in a national park before being deemed unconstitutional and ordered removed was being resurrected in the stunningly stark Mojave desert, marking the end of a longstanding legal dispute that had become entangled in patriotism and religion.
Henry Sandoz, who cared for the original cross as part of a promise to a dying World War I veteran, will rededicate a new, 7-foot steel cross on the same hilltop. The site is now in private hands as part of a land swap with the National Park Service that ended the legal battle.
"Judges and lawyers may have played their roles, but it was the veterans who earned this memorial, and it is for them it rises once more," said attorney Hiram Sasser of the Texas-based Liberty Institute, which represented veterans in the legal fight.
The settlement approved by a federal judge in April permitted the Park Service to turn over the acre of land known as Sunrise Rock to a Veteran of Foreign Wars post in Barstow and the Veterans Home of California-Barstow in exchange for five acres of donated property elsewhere in the 1.6 million acre preserve, about a four-hour drive east of Los Angeles.
The donated land was owned by Sandoz and his wife, Wanda, of Yucca Valley.
Sandoz has cared for the memorial as a promise to World War I veteran Riley Bembry, who with other shell-shocked vets went to the desert to help heal and erected a wooden cross on Sunrise Rock in 1934. It was later replaced with a cross made of steel pipes.
Then Sunrise Rock became part of the Mojave National Preserve in 1994, putting the Christian symbol on public land.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in 2001 on behalf of a retired Park Service employee who argued the cross was unconstitutional on government property because of the separation of church and state, and federal courts ordered it removed.
Congress stepped in and ordered the land swap in 2003, but the courts rejected the transfer. The issue made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in April 2010 refused to order the cross removed.
Storm-ravaged New York hosted the country's largest Veterans Day parade with turnout sparse along portions of the 30-block route along Fifth Avenue.
Standing in warm fall sunshine, officials said veterans should be honored and remembered more than just one day a year.
"This nation has a special obligation to take care of you," U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter told the crowd.
Several officials also made a note of mentioning Vietnam veterans. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.
One Vietnam vet, 66-year-old Laurence Lynch of New York, said simply, "It's about time. It's about time."
Along a number of blocks of the parade route, just a few dozen spectators were lined along the barricades.
Candice and Jeffrey Stark stood nearly alone on one stretch, waving tiny American flags. "We are shocked," Candice Stark said. "Very disappointed and terribly appalled. Don't get me started!"
The Long Island couple was among the many residents displaced by the storm. The military has been very visible in the Sandy cleanup, so the Starks said they went to the parade to show their appreciation.
In an event befitting the nation's movie capital, the GI Film Festival Hollywood was launched this weekend in Los Angeles.
Films at the two-day festival highlighted the successes and sacrifices of American military personnel and the worldwide struggle for democracy, said festival co-founder Brandon Millett. Movies must have at least one main character, real or fictitious, who plays a military role with respect.
The festival's mission is to preserve the stories of American vets, he said.
"We noticed a lot of films portray GIs in an unfavorable light," said Millett, who founded the festival with his wife, a West point graduate. "We wanted to show the courage, the heroism and the sacrifice of men and women in uniform."
The festival showcased eight feature films culled from Millett's annual GI Film Festival held in Washington, D.C., in May, and debuted short films made by filmmakers who are veterans. It also recognized actors for their contributions to the U.S. Armed Forces and held a fundraising auction to benefit the Semper Fi Fund, which aids wounded Marines and their families.
"We show all aspects of the GI experience, in the arena of war and when they come home," Millett said.
Chicago's National Veterans Art Museum unveiled its latest exhibit called "Welcome Home" as it celebrated its grand reopening in a new location.
"'Welcome home' is the customary message given to soldiers returning from war," a museum statement said. "After this initial greeting, familiarity dissolves and the traumas of war surface. Veterans set out to relearn the world they left behind, and their family meets a transformed person."
The exhibit is part of a series that examines the ongoing war in Afghanistan and the rising need for mental health care for returning veterans
The museum has more than 2,500 works of veterans' art with the mission of inspiring greater understanding of the real impact of war with an emphasis on Vietnam. The museum focuses art inspired by combat and created by veterans.
A Las Vegas casino rolled out the red carpet for some 60 injured veterans in a special Veterans Day weekend trip.
The annual "Salute to the Troops" weekend started with free American Airlines flights for veterans and their guests and a welcoming committee of MGM Resorts employees Thursday.
Employees held welcome signs, waved flags and chanted "USA" as the honored guests arrived.
MGM Resorts is hosting the veterans free at the Mirage Hotel and Casino, and treating them to a variety of attractions and shows during the five-day trip that ends Monday.
Their itinerary includes a ventriloquist show, a trip to the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage, and the Aviation Nation air show at Nellis Air Force Base.

Published: Tuesday 5th May 2015 by The News Editor
A police watchdog has appealed for witnesses after a man died following an incident in which a police officer was also injured.
Sheku Bayoh, 31, was detained by police during Sunday's incident in Kirkcaldy, Fife, and died a short time later in custody.
The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC), set up to investigate serious incidents involving the police, is leading an inquiry into the matter.
Mr Bayoh reportedly moved to Scotland to start a new life after fleeing the civil war in Sierra Leone and lived with his partner Collette and baby son.
His friend Kufre Okoko told the Daily Record: "Shek was a gentle guy who was making a future for his family.
"He loved his baby son Isaac and Collette, and his life totally changed for the better when he met her.
"It's a real tragedy and we need some answers."
He said that Mr Bayoh worked for British Gas and had been due to sit an exam this Wednesday to try to get promotion.
The PIRC has appealed for information about the incident.
A PIRC spokesman said: "Following the death of 31-year-old Sheku Ahmed Tejan Bayoh in Kirkcaldy on May 3, the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner is issuing an appeal to any person who was in Hayfield Road, near to Hendry Road, Kirkcaldy, between 7am and 8am on May 3.
"The PIRC is keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed any incident in this area.
"The PIRC is investigating the circumstances of the death, including the man's contact with police officers prior to his death. The PIRC may be contacted on 01698 542929 or 01698 543291."
Police Scotland previously confirmed that a female police officer was injured during the incident but gave no further details.
A Crown Office spokesman said: "The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has directed the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner to carry out an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of 31-year-old Sheku Ahmed Tejan Bayoh in Kirkcaldy on Sunday May 3, who had been detained by police shortly before his death.
"A report on the PIRC's findings will be submitted to the COPFS in due course."
A statement released by Aamer Anwar, solicitor for Mr Bayoh's family, said they were "extremely distressed" following his death.
Mr Anwar said: "At the age of 31 he leaves behind two young children, his partner Collette and a heartbroken family."
He also said the family have "the right to know the truth" and they would be meeting with authorities in the days ahead.

Should you fail to work with the Senate to confirm a constitutionally confirmed quorum, the resulting uncertainty will cause serious harm to employers and their workers at a time our country can least afford it. The authority of the Board governs virtually every private workplace across the country, affecting the lives of hundreds of millions of workers and employers. The Department of Labor announced this month that the national unemployment rate increased, leaving more than 12 million Americans searching for work. Greater uncertainty would only exacerbate the jobs crisis plaguing the nation.
Upon announcing these unconstitutional recess appointments, you stated the "American people deserve to have qualified public servants fighting for them every day…" With unemployment remaining unacceptably high, we could not agree more. We look forward to your immediate nomination of four qualified individuals and collaboration with Senators from both parties to confirm them expeditiously.

There's No Substitute for Pure Maple Syrup
Pure maple syrup is organic and scarce. Here's how it's made, why it's healthy and which five bottles are worth your stacks (dollars and pancakes alike).

Most discussions about watches and their value begin and end with the movement: Swiss versus Japanese, in-house versus outsourced, finishing and complications. But in reality, the movement is only part of the story. All too often overlooked is the humble watch case, which can be equally artful, interesting, and difficult to produce.
You've probably been hearing more about them: occasional murmurs of very long distance races, men and women running six marathons across the Sahara, a 3,100 mile race in Queens, NY, in the middle of summer. Ultrarunning, or running more than a 26.2 mile marathon in a single shot, seems an unlikely pursuit -- and it is. But it's also growing. An estimated 60,000 people finished an ultra in the U.S. in 2012, up from about 10,000 in 1990. That number is still small compared to the 487,000 people who completed a marathon in the U.S. in 2012, but it's still an awful lot of people running exceptional distances. And now you're thinking about toeing the line for an ultra. Good for you. We've got a handy guide to help you through, complete with advice from a few pros at the top of the sport.
For watch lovers, a fresh scratch on an otherwise flawless crystal is a devastating sight. The feeling can be even worse on a brand new watch, or one that just returned from servicing. But before you send your tainted timepiece back for a crystal replacement, you may want to consider a home remedy. First you need to determine what can be done -- and that depends on the type of crystal you've scratched. Read on for our full guide.
In the marathon origin story, Pheidippides runs from Marathon to Athens to deliver a message of victory and then promptly dies. We've come a long way since 490 BC, and today most people run marathons to compete, challenge themselves physically or raise money for charity -- and they rarely kick the bucket at the end. But they're sometimes in a world of hurt, because running 26.2 miles is a feat, and doing it can be taxing on the body. But with the right training anyone can do it. Looking to join the club? We've got some tips, tricks and advice from experts to get you most of the way there. You've still got to run the damn thing.
So now that you've chosen which starter steel horse suits you best, you've got to figure out just how to ride this thing safely -- the only thing uglier than a bike confined to a garage is one on its side. Getting out with your knees in the breeze is the best way we know to decompress and let the work week wash away, but before you swing a leg over and head out on the highway on your first bike you need to understand a couple guiding principles. We've compiled them for you.

MMFF 2011, It is Christmas season, the time of the year when Filipino families bond together, children are dressed for the occasion, individuals exchange gifts, companies hold parties for workers, and overseas workers and returning residents come home to celebrate holidays with their loved ones. Everyone is in high spirits, while awaiting the birth of Christ. Amid the hustle and bustle of preparation, Filipinos find time to relax and enjoy the jolly mood of the season.
The holding of the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) jibes with the Yuletide spirit. MMFF will run from Christmas Day December 25, 2011, to Three Kings Day, January 7, 2012, the world's longest Christmas celebration. It is the biggest and most exciting annual event for the Philippine movie industry. The participating films are shown in 17 Metro Manila cities and towns and the rest of the Philippines. While Metro-wide in billing, MMFF is nationwide in scope. No foreign movies are shown during the 14 days. Only films approved by MMFF jurors are shown.
A highlight of the MMFF is the traditional "Parade of Stars" on opening day, showcasing the floats of film entries with their movie stars. The Best Float, along with major awards, will be announced on Awards Night. At stake are trophies, cash prizes, and tax incentives for the seven official entries vying in 25 categories led by Best Picture.
Overall Chairman of this year's MMFF, Atty. Francis N. Tolentino, Chairman of the Metro Manila Development Authority, said the box-office goal this year is R600 million. The seven films for the 37th MMFF – Panday 2; Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow; Enteng ng Ina Mo; My Househusband; Asiong Salonga, Segunda Mano; Shake, Rattle, & Roll 13 are in various genres: comedy, action, drama, horror, and fantasy.
We congratulate the organizer of the Metro Manila Film Festival, led by its Overall Chairman, Atty. Francis N. Tolentino, Chairman of the Metro Manila Development Authority, film producers and stars, on the holding of the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival. We also congratulate the winners of the awards in various categories. We wish them all the best and success in all endeavors. MABUHAY!

With the news that Rachel McAdams has been confirmed to be portraying the female lead in the upcoming Doctor Strange movie, another heavyweight has been added to the already incredibly impressive cast roster for the film - currently featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, the intimidating Tilda Swindon as Strange's tutor - the Ancient One - and Chiwetel Ejiofor as arch-enemy Baron Mordo
It's not yet announced who McAdams will portray but a smart bet would be Clea (pictured above), Doctor Strange's pupil --> wife --> estranged wife. A powerful extra-dimensional sorceress, Clea is also the heir to the Dark Dimension and niece of the super-villain Dormammu (whom Mads Mikkleson is rumoured to be playing - another impressive addition if true).
With it looking like this is going to be the first film to really explore the occult, extra-dimensional sorcery side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Strange is shaping up to be one of their best films so far (though maybe I'm just biased given that Strange is one of my all time favourite Marvel characters).
A genius, super-human surgeon, master of magic and the Sorcerer Supreme protector of Earth, Doctor Stephen Strange is one of the most powerful humans in the Marvel universe. He deliberately sat out of the Civil War saga (which we'll see adapted next year as [Captain America: Civil War](tag:994409), albeit without him appearing) to mediate by himself at the North Pole because he knew that he was too powerful to get involved with struggles of morality - whichever side he chose would inevitably win.
He's also got a cracking moustache (all the best male heroes have facial hair - Iron Man, Green Arrow, Wolverine...) and one time saved hundreds of lives by defeating the demon Tul'uth in a game of baseball (Strange #1, 2).
Like Superman Doctor Strange has often been criticised for being overpowered. He's not quite on Supes level in terms of invulnerability and such but the laws of magic on the Marvel universe are incredibly fluid, meaning that he can perform almost any kind of offensive or defense attack he can think of. It might be a bit of a deux ex machina at times, but damn if it doesn't look cool. (Side note: If you're interested in finding out more about how Strange uses magic, check out this blog post by Christopher Bird).
Doctor Strange vs The New Avengers
During the last run of New Avengers a few years back Doctor Strange is forced to go head to head with the entire Avengers team (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Vision, Red Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Spider-Woman, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Thing, and Mockingbird). At this time he had relinquished his position as Sorcerer Supreme as penitence for messing around with some dark magics that made him go a bit loopy during World War Hulk, resulting in him not quite operating at full power as he now lacks the Eye of Agamotto.
The Avengers here were possessed by another sorcerer - Daniel Drumm - who blamed Strange for the death of his brother Brother Voodoo (Jericho Drumm), a former Sorcerer Supreme and friend of Strange.
He takes on the entire team, managing to defeat the majority of them before getting knocked down by Captain Marvel, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. But he manages to trap Daniel in the body of Luke Cage and lays down a spell with one of his most badass monologues ever - driving Daniel from Cage's body and destroying him.
This is eventually all revealed to be some kind of test to see if Strange was now capable of controlling dark magics and as a result - ta da - the Ancient One shows up to hand him back the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme.
The MCU Doctor Strange
Of course, it's not certain whether or not Doctor Strange will join up with the Avengers when he appears in the MCU. He's been a member of the New Avengers (as discussed above) and the Illuminati alongside Tony Stark (Iron Man), but this doesn't mean he necessarily has to join up with the team when he arrives on scene.
It's a new continuity after all, and after seriously downplaying the powers of Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) in [The Avengers: Age Of Ultron](tag:293035) I'm a bit concerned they'll do the same with him here here. C'est la vie I suppose.
However, when Thanos comes to town with the Infinity Gauntlet the Avengers are going to need someone packing the kind of power afforded to the Sorcerer Supreme, and there's already been widespread speculation that we'll see one of the two remaining Infinity Stones making an appearance in Doctor Strange, which does make him a major player in the coming conflict.
Regardless, it would be fantastic to see him going head to head with the Mad Titan alongside the Avengers when [The Avengers: Infinity War](tag:738027) rolls around in 2018. Until then we'll just have to wait and see what the solo film has in store for the good Doctor come next year.

Sour Grapes
Jerry Rothwell, Reuben Atlas, 85 min
France, United Kingdom, 2016
Sour Grapes
The incredible story about a world-class hoax, and about how a charismatic cheater took an eccentric wine world for a ride.
There are collectors who are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on vintage wines. So when the young Rudy Kurniawan suddenly appears on the American wine scene and starts showing off with rare grapes and expensive bottles, it first causes a stir, then admiration – and finally suspicion. For where do all those rare bottles actually come from? Led by the billionaire wine collector Bill Koch, a wide-reaching investigation is conducted into the wine world's answer to the Pink Panther. An investigation, which among other things involves former FBI agents, French wine merchants and self-proclaimed connoisseurs with red noses. Even when the scam is exposed, there is plenty of sour grapes among the wine collectors, who refuse to believe that their expensive red drops should be fake. The film not only depicts a world-class fraud, but also a world that lives for its passions. A tragicomic story of seduction and vanity in an eccentric world of wine, where illusion is the first and greatest of all pleasures.

Has anybody used the "Spain Pass" as listed on RENFE website - http://www.renfe.com/EN/viajeros/viajes_internacionales/spainpass/index.html
"Renfe Spain Pass is a pass that allows non-residents in Spain to travel around the country.
This pass is active for 6 months as from the date of issue and is valid for 1 month as from the date on which it is first validated for a journey.
Customers can choose between two modalities: Business/Club or Tourist, for adult. Customers can choose passes of 4, 5, 8, 10 or 12 journeys, to be used within 1 month.
It is valid for all AVE Long Distance and Medium Distance trains (excluding couchettes).
The ticket allows you to complete your journey by Commuter train provided that it connects with the place of origin or destination of your booking.
It can be purchased on Internet and at authorized travel agencies and stations.
With the rail pass finder bookings can be made free of charge on Internet and at authorized travel agencies and stations."
My train travel will be between 1) Madrid-Seville, 2) Seville-Granada, 3)Granada-Barcelona. There may be day trips from Madrid to Segovia & Toledo, and from Seville to Cordoba. For this route, does it make sense to go for this pass, or to buy point-to-point tickets?

This pass is very new (weeks old). As with any pass, you can only know if it will be value if you do the maths. comparisons against point to point purchase,(purchased in advance at discount or not).
Report Abuse
WomBatt, you are right, it was being advertised as new offering on the RENFE website, when I went there to book my tickets.
I ran the calculations. As of now, it is cheaper by ~ 50 euros on total expense of point-to-point ticket of ~ 230 euros. But I am not sure whether reservation of seats is separately required despite having this Spain Pass.
Report Abuse
Not quite sure what you are saying - you cannot reserve seats, you purchase. Therefore you must with the pass get your ticket/seat allocated.
Report Abuse
if you go the discounted ticket route via www.renfe.es then, if you want to lock yourself into some hard to or impossible to change in practice perhaps ticket weeks in advance that would be the cheapest way to go
A pass is good for folks who want flexibility to decide which train they will take once there, not weeks ahead of time and be locked in. (if that is the case in Spain as it is in nearly all other countries with similar online discounts, sold in limited numbers and which to guarantee should be booked far in advance.
Not sure how the Renfe pass compares with Renfe's Spain Railpass it markets thru RailEurope in U S but check the following sites not only for loads of great stuff on Spanish trains but pass prices - www.seat61.com; www.ricksteves.com and http://www.budgeteuropetravel.com/id30.html - assume Spain Railpass is more expensive than the Renfe in Spain pass but not sure - think it is calendar days - unlimited and on overnight trains the 7pm rule rules - board a n overnight train at 7pm and your pass is valid the whole next day so long long trajectories can be done in only using one day on a pass.
Report Abuse
PalenQ, I had checked these sites. The RENFE Spain Pass is slightly different and relatively new. It comes in denominations of 4, 5, 8, 10 or 12 journeys, to be used within 1 month.
WomBatt, I meant that I may need to pay additional sum to reserve seats in some trains, despite having a Spain Rail Pass. Is this understanding correct?
Report Abuse
With a Spain Eurailpass that is the case - I too wonder if the new Renfe version charges about $12-15 on top of the pass on AVE-type trains?
Report Abuse
PalenQ, that is what my confusion is too! If not, then this seems a good deal.
Report Abuse
With your original link and quote there is nothing I see as a further rip off.
Report Abuse
WomBatt, through the "Season Passes" tab on RENFE website, I reached https://venta.renfe.com/vol/indiceAbonos.do
This clarifies no reservation fee is required although reservation is necessary. Acc to this link, reservation of seat can be done online, although am unable to find the link for the same.
Report Abuse
So with this pass seat reservations are free? Seems like they would charge a nominal fee at least to reserve the seat like in most other countries?
Report Abuse
PalenQ, as per the link shared just above your response, it clearly states no fees for seat reservations, although you still need to actually reserve the seat.
Isn't this too good to be true?
Report Abuse
Isn't this too good to be true?> would seem like it - but it clearly states that! So sounds like a great deal for you and your plans. I know with Eurails you do have to pay 10-12 euros or so per each seat per each segment if you have to change, etc and nearly all long-distance trains in Spain now make seat reservations obligatory to avoid standing, etc. I guess.
Report Abuse
I calculated for my actual routes and it does not cover the trenhotel overnight from Granada to Barcelona. So would have to book individual tickets. However, it still stands that this pass is great if you are covering major AVE & medium-distance trains within Spain.
Report Abuse
Spain Eurailpass does cover the overnight train fare for hotel trains but does not cover the sleeping accommodations which are extra above the fare - are you sure that is not the case with that pass as well?
Report Abuse
RENFE Spain Pass is valid for only AVE & medium-distance trains. My Granada-Barcelona overnight train was not covered. As it was my most expensive train, it did not make sense for me to go for the pass then.
Report Abuse
Well the Spain Eurailpass does cover that train so did you check that pricing? It covers all trains in Spain. Current prices- http://www.budgeteuropetravel.com/id30.html - of course you have to figure in about $12 or so for mandated seat reservations on AVE type trains. Probably discounted tickets on www.renfe.es better but if you want flexibility to decide which trains to take once there full fare may be more than the pass?
Report Abuse
We also are looking into the Renfe Spain Pass. We notice that it is sold by "Journey", but Eurail passes are sold by "Day". What constitutes a "Journey"? We are not clear if a day trip, for instance from Madrid-Barcelona and back, would be 2 journeys or just one (round trip) journey. Can anyone clarify that?
Report Abuse
ttt I would love to know as well!
Report Abuse
ttt ??? but if it means 'journey' then I would think it means each way is a separate journey.
Report Abuse
I guess your are correct. I don't see how to book a return journey on the RENFE site. Unless there is a way to do that, then you would have to do two journeys.
Report Abuse
Then again, I was hoping someone had direct experience with the Spain pass so I don't have to guess...
Report Abuse
Bill_Rolfes, did your register first on the renfe website? I remember while I was booking my tickets (all one-way though) that I did have an option to select round trip.
Report Abuse
I have not registered on RENFE yet, and have only looked at the timetables, with no bookings yet. I just now checked here again before buying our Spain Passes. We're doing 2 one ways, but also day trips from Madrid to Barcelona (round trip) and Madrid to Sevilla (round trip). The question was whether to get 4 or 6 journeys. I'm going with 6.
Report Abuse
Have not check Spanish Railpass - well I am fairly sure you have but the notion of two long normally expensive round trip tickets in the same day - the Span Eurailpass or whatever they call it - would provide unlimited travel on a calendar day - of course you have to pay the seat rupplement of about $15 per ride so that could be a factor too.
But on the overnight train the Eurailpass does have the 7pm rule - board the overnight train after 7pm and you put the next day's date on as your unlimited travel day - so once you arrive in say Barcelona your pass is valid the whole next day in case you want to day trip to say Sitges, Figueras for the Dali Museum, etc.
Report Abuse
Meant to add that to check current pricing on that pass - I'll have to myself examine the pass pricing - and Renfe's - have not compared.
Spain Eurail info - www.ricksteves.com and http://www.budgeteuropetravel.com/id30.html.

I have a similar dilemma. Heading to Spain for 12 days in mid October. We land in Madrid and planning to head out the same day and visit Granada, Malaga, Seville and Cordoba (order subject to change) and determining whether to train or rent a car. Flexibility is a plus, window time a minus, cost is less as we could cash in miles for the vehicle, time a minus. Open to thoughts and opinions. Thanks.
Report Abuse
SuperJ-it would be a no brainer for me, rent the car!What freedom to be able to pull over, visit places along the way! As an American,I find train travel very restricting, really too much of a hassle for me.The stations are rarely in central locations and the price of tickets so confusing.I decided to give the train a chance last year from Madrid to San Sebastian.While comfortable, very boring and never again!If I do need to travel in Spain I prefer the bus or flying!
Report Abuse
SuperJ, I don't think the renfe Spain pass is valid on most routes you mention. I took the train on Seville-Cordoba, Seville-Granada route this week and these are classified as regional / commuter trains. The pass, I believe, is valid on long distance / AVE routes. Check out the applicability in each case.
Tickets on the routes I mention were easily available a day before the journey. Book in advance for "estrella" 40% discount on renfe website.
Chapla, I found the train stations to be located well within reach in Madrid, Seville, Cordoba. Granada was a but far (15-20 mins to my hotel). I am blessed to find the ticket booking on renfe website and ticket types easy to comprehend. But I agree with you, nothing like driving. Flexibility, fun and lot more access to stop at local villages on the way. We did a road trip from Madrid to Seville in Audi 6 and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Sorry I said road trip from Madrid to Seville. I meant Madrid to Segovia.

Well I am trying to learn about this new Renfe Spain Pass and this is very surprising - not contradicting the post - just surprising - it is really a pass that only gives X number of rides on high-speed lines? Makes a radical difference with the Spain Eurail Pass Renfe markets abroad.

Anupama distances herself from controversial Facebook posts
Ballari (DHNS): Kudligi sub-division DySP Anupama Shenoy, who had tendered her resignation on June 4, has distanced herself from the controversial Facebook posts.
"It is not my Facebook account. I am clueless about the posts and the status. Someone might be doing it in my name," she said.
When the reporters asked her why she didn't lodge any complaint against the hackers, Anupama shot back saying, "Do you think my department would deliver justice if I lodge a complaint?"
After remaining incommunicado since June 4, Anupama returned to Kudligi in the early hours of Thursday.
She said, "My resignation issue is being misused by people, media and 'others' to further their own interests. I cannot bear it. I will wage a legal battle." When a reporter sought Shenoy's reaction to chief minister suggesting that higher-ups should take strict disciplinary action against her, the official, who is at loggerheads with Ballari District Minister P T Parameshwara Naik, said, "If constables and lower rung officials commit any mistake, they are sacked instantly. Likewise, they should take action against those who have harassed me or done injustice to me.I do not have faith in the system. But I do have faith in judiciary. I will seek justice in the court of law," she added.
Anupama, who arrived in Kudligi at 4.30 am on Thursday, didn't come out of her official residence till 2.30 pm. But she had no other options but to speak to journalists who mobbed her when she opened the door of her quarters.
Refuses to meet DySP
Anupama refused to meet Kudligi In-charge DySP R S Patil who went to her official quarters in Kudligi following instructions from Ballari SP R Chetan. Meanwhile, members of several voluntary organisations blocked the National Highway in Kudligi, urging Anupama to withdraw her resignation. They tried to block her vehicle.
Pejawar seer bats for Anupama
Pejawar Mutt seer Sri Vishewesha Theertha Swami said the police force needs the service of sincere officers like Anupama Shenoy, reports DHNS from Udupi. She should continue working and should serve the force upholding the values. The seer said that the government should intervene and sort out the problems that forced the honest officer to resign from her post. The allegations made by the officer should be investigated. The seer said the injustice meted out to the officer should be set right.
'She broke rules by using FB'
Law and Parliamentary Minister T B Jayachandra said, "A government employee is barred from taking issues pertaining to government and its agencies to social media platforms. Kudligi DySP Anupama Shenoy has violated rules by posting comments and status in her Facebook account." Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a government function in Tumakuru on Thursday, Jayachandra said, if she had any issues or complaints she could have approached the higher-ups.
The government is still trying to convince the official with good track record to withdraw her resignation, Jayachandra said adding that the comments made by Shenoy in her FB account cannot be treated as complaint.

Location can't be beat! Close to AC, the beaches, and the cute village of Smithville.
I had my house built 7+ yrs ago in Wexford village. My neighbors are wonderful, the clubhouse has tons of activities - I call it adult summer camp. Lots of great shopping within 10- 12 miles. 13 miles to AC casinos. The Smithville shops are in our back yard. I absolutely LOVE living here. Maintenance fees are reasonable & the grounds are well kept.
FS Smithville has been my home for a few years now. I really like that it's a completed community (no construction noise to deal with) and the clubhouse has a lot of great features. I use the workout room and the indoor pool a few times every week and I play bocce and shuffleboard too. It's fun to have a great group of people close by. I can walk to the clubhouse from my place and it's easy to get around town too. I'm starting to think my house could use some updates (new carpets and maybe some paint). Other than that it's been easy to maintain.
