Sen. John McCain, prominent among the Washington ranks who have questioned former Sen. Chuck Hagel's suitability for the top Defense Department post, said Sunday he will not exert his power to block Hagel's nomination.
"No," he told CNN when asked directly whether he would block the nomination in the Senate. "I plan to make a judgment as to whether I think he's appropriate to be Secretary of Defense or not."
Each senator has the power to prevent a nomination from advancing to the floor, and one of McCain's close colleagues, Sen. Lindsey Graham, has suggested he would put President Barack Obama's nominee to lead the CIA on hold while awaiting answers on the U.S. Consulate attack in September in Benghazi, Libya.
McCain said he does not plan to block that nomination or that of John Brennan for the CIA, either. He said he does have questions for both.
Of Hagel, the Arizona Republican said, "There will be a number of questions about his view of America's role in the world, about Iraq, about Afghanistan, about Iran, the threat of Iran."
McCain also described his reservations regarding Hagel's remark "that (the) surge in Iraq would be the greatest blunder since the Vietnam War, which is clearly a bizarre statement."
Some senators from both sides of the aisle have expressed their concern about selecting the former Nebraska Republican to lead the Pentagon. McCain's reservations stand out in part because of their once-vibrant friendship and partnership. Both were injured in the Vietnam War.
Some have described their difference in Iraq war policy as a stress point in the relationship. After McCain aided Hagel in his first campaign for the U.S. Senate, Hagel returned the favour as a national co-chair of his 2000 presidential bid. Hagel stayed out of the race when McCain ran again in 2008.
McCain told CNN last week that he hoped their friendship remained.
"The friendship, I hope, is still there," he said on "The Situation Room," saying their world views had split "rather dramatically."
"I respect, admire, and call him a friend, but I have very serious questions about whether he will serve in the way that I think serves America's best national interests."
Officials supportive of Hagel's confirmation but spoke to the media on the condition of anonymity have gone on the offensive in support of the nominee.
In response to charges he has not been a staunch supporter of Israel and expresses sympathies toward Iran, the officials pointed to votes he cast in favor of military aid to Israel and his recent call for the U.S. to "keep racheting up sanctions" on Iran, among other evidence. They also highlighted his leadership experience as evidence he is ready to direct the massive government department.
Critics have also taken issue with Hagel's 1998 description of an ambassadorial nominee as "openly, aggressively gay" -- for which he has since apologized -- and his remark in 2007 when he said the "Jewish lobby intimidated lawmakers."
McCain said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation" that if asked today, he would not vote against Hagel, "nor would I vote for him."
In his statement after Obama announced Hagel as his pick, McCain said, "Chuck Hagel served our nation with honor in Vietnam, and I congratulate him on this nomination.
"I have serious concerns about positions Sen. Hagel has taken on a range of critical national security issues in recent years, which we will fully consider in the course of his confirmation process before the Senate Armed Services Committee."
McCain will have the opportunity to pose his questions as the top Republican on that committee.
"I have a clear record of almost always giving the administration the benefit of the doubt, Republican or Democrat," he said on CBS. "But in this particular case, 'advise and consent' is still a role that we play as senators."

Won't work. The output from a turntable is about 47k ohms. You need to get it to about 600 ohms for a standard line. Your mic is about 150 ohms (well, these can vary heavily though). You need a RIAA pre-amp just to get to mic-input so might as well go for line. | |||||

They're often called "ambush" killings.
Recent slayings of lawmen -- a Colorado prison chief, a Texas prosecutor, a West Virginia sheriff and a California cop -- conjure up comparisons to the deadly surprises and have contributed to a disturbing increase this year in law officer killings nationwide, analysts say.
"When somebody says 'ambush,' you see a character in a movie and you expect a guy to trip over a line or somebody pop up from a garbage can or somebody has the high ground and shoots on them," said Steve Weiss, research director for the Officer Down Memorial Page, whose website tracks slain U.S. law officers.
The Colorado, Texas, California and West Virginia deaths "are kind of like that movie-style ambush," Weiss said.
It's what many officers fear most, said CNN contributor Tom Fuentes, a former FBI assistant director.
"Rookie officers are taught generally you're not concerned about the bullet with your name on it, but about those addressed 'To Whom It May Concern,'" Fuentes said, referring to random ambush shootings against police.
While an ambush often refers to an assailant lying in wait, the FBI statistics include "unprovoked attacks" without hiding, which one analyst likened to the circumstances in the Texas and California slayings.
The FBI counted 15 officer deaths by ambush in each year of 2011, 2010 and 2009, and said that ambush situations were the biggest category of circumstance behind 543 officers feloniously killed between 2002 to 2011: 23.2%.
The next highest category was an arrest situation, at 22.5%, according to FBI statistics.
Weiss' group doesn't specifically count ambush deaths of officers, but a search of its records with the word "ambush" shows that 14 law officers died in such a manner in the past 12 months -- a figure almost matching the FBI's recent data trends.
The group says that as of Friday, the total number of law enforcement fatalities is up 29% over the same period last year, and the number of gunfire-related fatalities of law officers is up 36%, Weiss said. There have been 31 officer fatalities in 2013, and 15 of them are gunfire deaths, Weiss said.
The killings in the four states have contributed to that increase, Weiss said. His group, however, doesn't include the two prosecutors' deaths in its counting.
Colorado prison chief Tom Clements was fatally shot at his home this month after he answered the door bell.
The Kaufman County, Texas, district attorney and his wife were shot to death in their home last month; his assistant D.A. was fatally gunned down in the parking lot of the county courthouse after a very short confrontation in January.
And rogue ex-Los Angeles Police Department officer Christopher Dorner threatened to kill police randomly and in fact shot five officers, killing two earlier this year. A Riverside police officer was fatally shot after Dorner drove up to his vehicle at a stoplight and fired. A San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy was shot by Dorner while responding to a report of a vehicle stolen by someone matching Dorner's description.
The sheriff of Mingo County, West Virginia, was killed this week after a gunman walked up to the sheriff as he sat in his vehicle in a parking lot near the county courthouse. The gunman shot the sheriff in the head and then returned to his vehicle and drove away.
The FBI defines ambush killings into two types. One is by "entrapment and premeditation," which is a scenario "where the officer was lured into danger as the result of conscious consideration and planning. These attacks are generally accomplished from cover or hiding; however, they can occur without cover or hiding," the agency said.
There are also ambushes of "unprovoked attacks," which are "generally accomplished without hiding; however, they can occur with or without cover,' the FBI said.
Weiss, however, questioned the FBI definition. From the viewpoint of police, what's considered a routine traffic stop can turn deadly when a motorist suddenly pulls a gun and shoots the officer.
"Unless you're responding to a scene where someone is shooting, pretty much anything is an ambush," Weiss said. "There's countless number of times where an officer stops a car for a traffic violation and then they are shot."
But Weiss acknowledged the ambush circumstances in California, Colorado and Texas, and noted how the Colorado killing evoked America's frontier era of the 1800s when local sheriffs were vulnerable to home attacks.
"When the public thinks of ambush, it's when someone calls 911 and there's somebody waiting on a rooftop. That's unusual," Weiss said. "They type of incidents in Texas and with the Colorado prison director is even more unusual.
"When somebody shows up at someone's home, those are really unusual. In these days, you very rarely see that," Weiss said. "Our town is a little more civilized than back in the 1800s."
The recent yearly trend of 15 ambush deaths of officers is haunting, Weiss said.
"Any number above the number zero is high," Weiss said. "That is a high number. To make that decision ever is hard to fathom, but to plan it out in a premeditated matter is troubling."

Costume and Textiles Woman's Evening Dress Made in France, Europec. 1926 Embroidery designed by Natalia Sergeyevna Goncharova, French (born Russia), 1881 - 1962. Made by the firm of Myrbor (Madame Marie Cutolli), France. Silk with silk appliqué and metallic thread and wool yarn embroidery Currently not on view 1980-29-1 Gift of Mrs. Richard S. Davis, 1980 |
LabelThérèse and Louise Bonney's Shopping Guide to Paris (1929) describes Myrbor, a shop owned by Madame Marie Cuttoli (1879-1973), as "a changing exhibit of modern art," commenting: "If you like to see a Léger or a Lurçat or a Picasso on your walls, you will like to wear Myrbor clothes." Between 1922 and 1928, Myrbor offered dresses with appliqué embroidery such as this one based on designs by the artist Natalya Goncharova. It may have been embroidered by the Polish émigré embroiderer and sculptor Sara Lipska, who worked for herself and other dressmakers. The New York department store Bonwit Teller in 1926 offered copies of Myrbor's dresses, which they advertised as "Patchwork" evening frocks. From 1930 to 1936, Cuttoli focused on interior decoration and commissioned hand-woven rugs and tapestries based on designs by painters such as Matisse and Picasso. |

"Awesome Location Mediocre Room"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
The Buenaventura is located just a few blocks from the "happenin" Malecon and restaurants. We did not do all-inclusive during our stay so that we can enjoy the restaurants in the town. We were promised a European Plan breakfast through Hotels.com at this hotel, but the hotel didn't know about that deal. We explained to the manager and showed them our printed confirmation and they honored the request. For that fact, I think the staff was attentive to our needs. The condition of the hotel was nice, except that our hotel room door wouldn't lock. Our room was located on the street side of the hotel without a balcony, so it was a little noisy, but ok. The bathroom smelled a little like mildew, which is common in warm climates. The lock on the room safe was busted open, and not usable! The staff was all very friendly. The pool side entertainment was fun. The pools and grounds were great. I would stay here again due to it's location and that it was a clean hotel.

Staff was excellent. Room was clean and beautiful with local feel. The organic bistro serves delicious food. Our family had a wonderful experience. We only stayed one night because we had reservations at a major resort. I wish I would have booked my whole week at Cielo Rojo. I had a great experience and plan on returning.

Nice quiet Inn with great food (a little pricey) but delicious. Felt very safe here. Beds were comfortable, nice showers with good water pressure. Only downside was that you couldn't get wi-fi in the rooms. Had to go out in the corridor to get online. But at least there are tables and chairs out there. Oh, and and waking up occasionally to a dog barking […] nearby in the middle of the night. The staff were all very nice and helpful, and spoke English. We would return to this hotel and recommend.

Cielo Rojo is located in the heart of San Pancho. They provided bikes that I could borrow (did not charge for the bikes.) I enjoyed touring the beach and the town. They let me use the phone anytime, had excellent food in the restaurant; they were extremely friendly. Everyone spoke English very well and I had fun practicing my Spanish with them as well. […] The room and hotel are very quaint and nice. I had my own bathroom and they even provided me with good clean drinking water. I was impressed with the quality of service. I will tell my friends about them and would love to stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Warm hospitality, beautiful setting"
We spent 8 nights at Cielo Rojo, and found it a pleasurable experience in every way. We were not the easiest of guests because of the special needs of my husband who has a bad back. Every one of the staff, from managers to waiters to housekeepers to the excellent chef went out of their way to make our stay there as comfortable as possible. They were […] creative and caring, finding a kind of chair my husband could sit in, providing ice on numerous occasions as well as freezing our re-usable cold pack, giving us advice about such things as how to get to other towns, where to get our hair cut, the weather, answering our many questions with patience and charm. The food was healthy and delicious, and I especially recommend the beautifully cut and presented fruit at breakfast and the whole grain toast. We happily recommend Cielo Rojo to anyone wishing for a beautiful small hotel full of art and color, and wonderful people. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Nice, friendly place!"
I enjoyed my 5 nights here. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the restaurant has a varied menu of interesting and delicious organic food and the rooms are comfortable. My only complaints were that the toilet seat needed to be replaced and there wasn't anywhere besides the bed to sit down. Also, and this wasn't the fault of the hotel staff, my […] room was close to the hotel entrance and I was woken up several times one night when inconsiderate guests noisily came in at late hours. The location is a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. Although, in some ways it would have been nice to be closer to the beach, I did enjoy being within the town so I could experience the local community and culture and not just have an isolated "resort" type experience.

"charming hotel with great organic restaurant"
We had great time at the hotel and in San Pancho. Cielo Rojo is a low key place with a friendly staff and an awsome restaurant that uses fresh organic local foods. If you're looking for a big resort hotel experience then go somewhere else. It is small, about 10 rooms, and situated on a side street near the center of town. The beach is a short walk away, […] down the main drag that has many great places to eat. From nice upscale eateries to cheap street taco stands-it was all great. Very friendly with a genuine old Mexico feel. We'll be back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Classy little inn with a knock-out restaurant"
Cielo Rojo was unique and lovely and the front desk and restaurant staff were friendly, attentive & efficient. The architecture is great and the decor is simple but stylish; nice use of a partial palapa roof, in center of building visible on third floor, beautiful open stairwell and lovely art and antiques scattered around. Our third floor Las Palmas […] room had an amazing view of the mountains but a few limitations. We thought we were getting a queen bed but our room had a double plus a single. There was no closet but there were some large shelves so we stored clothes in our suitcases and/or in stacks on the shelves; not ideal but not much of a problem. My husband sleeps soundly despite noise but I needed to take advantage of the wax-style earplugs that were supplied in the room, due to neighborhood noise at night. Earplugs were best I've ever used. We had breakfast in the hotel restaurant 5 of the 7 mornings & dinner there 3 of our 7 nights and were delighted with each meal: very fresh produce and seafood, creative updates on traditional cuisine (updated huevos rancheros!) and lovely presentation. Staff was very helpful on many issues including booking us a car and guide for a day trip to San Blas. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Simple hotel. Not expensive but I didn't expect a noisy room right next to the reception with only the basics included. You could hear everything happening outside the room and everyone talking in the reception. Not even anywhere to hang clothes in the room! When I asked to change rooms they first said that they were full. The next day they said that […] I could change but given the price I paid I would have to pay more to change - I refused.

What god are we serving anyway?

Huntingdon's Manuel earns second MPV honor | People
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Huntingdon running back Trevor Manuel got a surprise as he walked off the field last Saturday after the FCS Senior Scout Bowl.
Shortly after being named MVP and scoring the winning touchdown in the South All-Stars' 20-17 overtime win against the North, Manuel was approached by a young fan.
"I was coming off the field and this little kid asked me if he could have my gloves," Manuel said. "Of all the players out there, he chose to ask me. The smile on his face when I gave him the gloves really made my day. That's something I'll remember."
The All-Star game was the second in eight days for Manuel and Huntingdon defensive tackle D.J. Chappell. It was also Manuel's second MVP honor. Manuel was named MVP of the D3 Senior Classic on Dec. 7.
"It's a good feeling," Manuel said. "Both awards were nice accomplishments. This one was special because we were competing against Division I-AA (or Football Championship Subdivision – FCS) players. There were only about six Division III players in the game.
"It felt good to be able to go out and compete against players from a higher level and be able to help my team win. With both of us (Manuel and Chappell) playing in the game, I think it was a good way to get Huntingdon's name out there and hopefully it will help us gain a little more notoriety."
Manuel finished the game with 44 yards on nine carries. He rushed for 25 yards and a touchdown on three carries in overtime.
"I felt good going into overtime. It was my turn in the rotation and I felt like the coaches wanted to run the ball," Manuel said. "I just wanted to help the team win and I tried to make the most of each carry."
Full game statistics were not available, but Manuel said Chappell finished the game with six tackles.
"Chap played a great game," Manuel said. "In the first All-Star game, he had to play defensive end in a three-man front that was different from what we played at Huntingdon.
"In this game, he was able to play defensive tackle in a four-man front and you could tell it was what he was used to. He did what he usually does and made plays."

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Arborina is gorgeous for the way it combines layers of fleshy dark fruit in the medium-bodied style of the year. Dark red cherries, flowers, spices and minerals are some of the notes that emerge from this beautiful, polished Barolo. The 2008 is all class and elegance. Layers of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Good medium red. Sexy, complex aromas of strawberry liqueur, raspberry, iris, truffle, chocolate, mocha and menthol. Suave on entry, then full, lush, sweet and seamless in the middle palate, with subtle floral lift contributing to the impression of definition. Strong in extract and quite..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Barolo (aged three years in botte grande and one year in bottle) opens with a crystalline, ruby color and shows extreme focus and precision. Rosehip, forest berry, wild mint, lightly toasted pine nut, dried ginger and underbrush all appear on the ever-changing bouquet. The wine is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Colonnello is impressive. It shows gorgeous richness and depth in its focused, energetic fruit. Sweet red berries, flowers and spices are woven together beautifully in the 2008 Colonnello. The elegant side of Barolo comes through, but with an extra degree of muscle. The oak,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Detailed and fragrant, offering floral, strawberry, cherry, licorice and spice flavors, this is elegant and underlined by a strong mineral streak. Well-proportioned, picking up intensity and complexity on the long, savory finish. Extremely fresh and classy.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a superb set of wines from Giorgio Rivetti. The 2008 Barbareschi are among the strongest wines of the year, while the 2007 Barolo Campe is the best wine to emerge from Rivetti's vineyards in Grinzane Cavour. The La Spinetta style focusing on wines of great textural richness remains..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barolo Romirasco offers up a refined bouquet of spices, menthol, plums, prunes and French oak. This is an especially rich, sensual Barolo from Conterno. The Romirasco spends an additional 3-4 months in oak than the other single-vineyard Barolos, and in 2006 the wine seems especially..

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Cascina Francia is all understatement and class. Silky, impeccable tannins support expressive red berries, flowers, mint and sweet spices.

Post subject: Book Review: The Misplaced Legion - Harry Turtledove
Stop me if you've heard this one before: A Roman Legion is fighting a band of Celts when somehow some magic spell is activated that transports the Legion (plus one Celt) to some strange new world. The Legion and Celt are forced to cooperate to stay alive and not knowing how to get back or even if it is possible, the Legion takes service in with the local empire as a mercenary band. They are, of course, some of the finest fighters that this Empire has seen and they know battle tactics that the world has never seen.
This is the premise of "The Misplaced Legion." There are, I understand, ties to the Byzantine Empire in how this novel is constructed. If one has knowledge of that era then perhaps this novel will resonate more, but coming into "The Misplaced Legion" without that knowledge of history I was able to appreciate Turtledove's craft just as well.
This new Empire of Videssos is one where magic works and is fairly common. Marcus Scaurus, the Legion Commander finds himself mixed up in the politics of Videssos simply by being a talented mercenary commander and being for a foreign world. He finds himself in opposition to an evil sorcerer and helps lead Videssos against this sorcerer.
Much of this novel deals with the Romans in a new world and their adjustments, but with the battles against the sorcerer and the Yezda (the people the sorcerer belongs to, and leads) the storyline is one that looks to stretch across multiple volumes. This was a very interesting beginning to the Videssos Cycle and while I had never read any of Turtledove's work before, this is a series i plan on investing time into.

@pmroche We'll have to agree to disagree on the others. But "Story of Anvil" is on the list at #10. Just wanted to point that out!

No Last Waltz? No We Jam econo? No Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage? No Story of Anvil? No Who Is Harry Nilsson? List Fail.

Gotta second the previous comment....'The Last Waltz' not being on this list is ridiculous.

This rockumentary goes to 11
That new Lemmy documentary is pretty great, but how does it rate compared to the greatest "rock docs" of all time? We fired up our Netflix accounts and waded through hours of guitar solos and rehab trips to bring you our picks for the 20 greatest rock documentaries of all time.*—Andy Hermann and Jessica Jardine, Metromix
*Sorry, "Spinal Tap" fans; as a "mockumentary," your favorite flick didn't make the cut. But did we leave out any other worthy pieces of rock celluloid? Let us know in the comments section.

EDMONTON - The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team is investigating after an officer fired one shot and killed a 52-year-old man on Cold Lake First Nation, the third civilian death in two weeks connected to the RCMP.
RCMP K Division spokeswoman Josee Valiquette acknowledged the three deaths in such a short time was out of the ordinary.
"It is unusual," Valiquette said. "But we don't have any comment about that."
On Thursday afternoon, RCMP officers were conducting investigations into sexual assaults and had obtained a warrant for a man's arrest and a warrant to enter a home, ASIRT spokeswoman Sarah Jackson said Friday. At around 4:30 p.m. a confrontation broke out between officers and a 52-year-old man who was the subject of the warrant, she said.
The man was shot and pronounced dead upon arrival at Cold Lake Hospital.
Jackson said a knife was recovered at the scene of the incident. RCMP officers, some in plain clothes, were involved in the investigation when the altercation occurred.
Jackson said ASIRT investigators are still in Cold Lake. ASIRT will examine actions of the RCMP officer involved, the agency said Friday on its Twitter page.
"ASIRT has deployed to Cold Lake for investigation of RCMP officer-involved shooting where a male has died. No further comment at this time," it wrote.
In a statement released Friday afternoon, Cold Lake First Nation's chief and council expressed their "sincere condolences to the Charland family in light of the recent fatality.
"In the coming days, we will provide more information to our members as the facts and investigation are underway in the fatal shooting of a member from our Nation."
The First Nation, which didn't disclose the dead man's name, closed its administration officers at noon Friday out of respect for the family. The First Nation is located about 300 kilometres northwest of Edmonton and has about 2,400 members.
On Aug. 3, a 30-year-old man was shot and killed after a traffic stop by a Wetaskiwin RCMP officer working alone near Pigeon Lake. The man's family identified him as Lance Cutarm and said his brother, 41-year-old Larron Cutarm, was also injured in the incident.
A 27-year-old man died in hospital the morning of Aug. 4 after being Tasered during an arrest at a Leduc gas station two nights earlier. Family identified the victim as Marc-Andre Fontaine.
ASIRT continues to investigate both of those incidents, along with another officer-involved shooting that took place the night of Aug. 1 near Grande Cache. In that case, two officers stopped a man suspected of impaired driving. The traffic stop ended with the shooting and wounding of 28-year-old Curtis Hallock, a former co-star of the reality show Mantracker.
ASIRT investigates incidents involving serious injury or death involving police.
