The King Maker (Thai: กบฎท้าวศรีสุดาจันทร์, or The Rebellion of Queen Sudachan, is a 2005 Thai historical drama film set during the Ayutthaya kingdom. With a storyline that shares many similarities to 2001's The Legend of Suriyothai, The King Maker's plot focuses on a Portuguese mercenary (Gary Stretch) in the service of the Siamese court. Produced by David Winters, it was the first English-language Thai film production since the 1941 film, King of the White Elephant, produced by Pridi Phanomyong. This was also the first Thai film sold to a "Major film studio".
The story opens with Portuguese soldier Fernando de Gama drowning in the ocean after a shipwreck. He comes to, finds some wreckage to float on and washes up on the coast of Siam. After almost being eaten by a crocodile, he is captured by Arab slave traders and taken to Ayutthaya. Released from his bonds to be put on the auction block, he promptly knocks down his captors and leads them on a chase throughout the ancient city.
Eventually, he is brought under control, but not before he is captured the attention of a Eurasian beauty, Maria, who buys him his freedom back. After recovering from his recapture, Maria brings Fernando to meet her father, Phillippe. Fernando immediately recognizes Phillippe as the man who killed Fernando's father many years ago, whom Fernando has been seeking on a lifetime quest for revenge.
But there are bigger battles to be fought. Fernando and his Portuguese compatriots are pressed into the service of King Chairacha, who has to go into battle. It is a multi-national taskforce, not only including Portuguese mercenaries, but also samurai warriors (likely Christians expelled from Japan). In battle, Fernando bonds with a Thai warrior named Tong. They distinguish themselves by saving the King from an assassination attempt and are appointed his personal bodyguards.
Queen Sudachan, a former royal consort who schemed her way into becoming queen, is behind the assassination plot. Because it failed, she calls on Don Phillippe for help. Phillippe in turn enlists a scar-faced ninja to kill the king. This plan is also thwarted by Fernando, Tong and other Siamese troops. After the assassins are killed in the king's bedroom, King Chairacha assigns Tong and Fernando the task of seeking out whoever is behind this scheme.
Recognizing one of the dead assassins as the scar-faced ninja he had seen Phillippe talking with earlier that night, Fernando confronts Phillippe. They fight, and Phillippe is killed by Tong. Meanwhile, the queen resorts to black magic to poison the king. She also must kill her own son, Prince Yodfa (who is next in line for the throne), to clear the way for her boyfriend Worawongsathirat. This she achieves by hiring a spear-wielding African warrior.
Succeeding in her plot, Fernando and Tong are then framed for the deaths and made to fight each other in a death duel for Queen Sudachan, her new king, and the crowd's amusement. Tong's family and Maria's life are threatened, and Tong throws an axe at Worawongsathirat, slaying him. Moments before the queen kills Tong and Fernando in revenge, King Chairacha's brother Maha Chakkraphat arrives. Having deduced on his own that the queen is behind the king and prince's deaths, he arrests the queen and releases our heroes and their loved ones. In an ending text, it is stated that news of these events were heard by the king of Burma, and that the story's impression of disarray is what caused the Burmese invasion and the eventual decline and destruction of Ayutthaya.

The Fab 40′s In Jumpsuits
The fab 40′s are at it again in this our second collaborative post. This time, Ann of Kremb De La Kremb has us expressing our take on jumpers.
For this exciting post, I had to look no further than my closet. I paired a long sleeve, denim jumper and mapped with leopard. I didn't get much wear out of this jumper, which I purchased last year. So, it was a pleasure to pull it out and dress it up.
And as expected, each of my fellow fab, plus forty blogger sisters brought her own inspiring, unique and totally stylish rendition, which I absolutely adore.
Read on for our outfit details.

Cool Crisp White Jacket
Spring is obviously here, so the lighter clothing is coming to the front of the closet. It's been several years since I fell in love with them, but I still love my boyfriend jeans, with tears and without. I have to say, this one from H&M is one of the most comfy I own.

Spring Color
The weather is warming and so are the colors of my clothing. I feel bright and bubbly so I decked out in an uplifting spring color. I actually wore this exact outfit about two years ago, with a different shoes. It's a look I love.
I'm was all smiles as I got ready to give a talk on self-care to a group of women. I took pictures without my accompanying smile, but they never seem to work. I simply don't do serious very well.

Blue Sweater Yellow Shoes
So spring is in full swing, and it's all about the bright colors and flowers. I love flowers, but I hate gardening. So I usually buy my pretty petals. And to keep it pretty, I'm wearing a blue sweater and yellow shoes.
Last year I tried my hand at planting in the front yard and it turned out ok. Actually, it turned out lovely.
Of course, after the year's brutal winter there is not trace of what was once so pretty. So, this year i'll give it a go, again.
Who knows? Maybe i'll come to love it the way i've come to love cooking.

Feeling Foxy
I'm feeling foxy today. Maybe because I'm wearing torn jeans. My 11 year old thinks it's a bit inappropriate for me to be wearing jeans with holes in them. However, we've reached a compromise. I can have the holes in the front, but not in the back, and that's aye, ok with me.

My Living Room Makeover
Spring is finally coming alive in my neck of the woods, and it certainly feels great to have warmth and sunshine most days. I feel so much more alive and motivated when the weather is favorable. Very cold, snowy winters get me a tiny bit cranky, and I tend to hibernate a lot. The same can be said for when i'm working indoors.
I love to have a warm cozy favorable space that stimulates and motivates me to get through my work days. However, I had a particular space that was just an empty shell for a year and a half, and it really made me feel yucky whenever I looked at it. In addition, I had family visiting and certainly wanted them to feel warm and welcomed when they walked into my home. So, I had several great reasons to give the room a decor lift.
Since i'd made a promise to myself, as soon as spring rolled in, I got to work on beautifying and illuminating the area. I added some color to the walls, incorporated bright uplifting furniture and gave the space a really cozy, come hang with me look and feel. Though i'm no designer, I feel quite contented with my new, bright and uplifting space.
Having a space that's clean, comforting and stimulating is so important. Let's face it, how annoying, and at times depressing is it when you walk into your office or home workspace and see nothing but junk, chaos or blank, drab walls staring back at you? It really just makes me want to turn around and run away.
So whether you work at a desk in the office or a room in your home, you should spend the time to beautify your space and create a sanctuary of light, serenity and functionality.
The feeling of emptiness that I felt whenever I looked into that room was enough to spur me into action.
The boring, barren space
The same space after some much needed uplifting.
There are tons, but here are two reasons why you should beautify your space.
1. You feel motivated to work. Clean, clear and clutter-free spaces are so easy to navigate. Likewise, bright and uplifting areas create a much sunnier and happier disposition. You'll feel energized and want to get tasks completed, without the grumpy facial expressions at that.
2. Alleviate feelings of stress. When you space is what you want it to be and what it should be, when it aligns with the way you want to feel, you're inclined to be less stressed. I imagine because it's easier to feel focused, get clarity and even breathe in an environment that's uplifting and stimulating.
How do you beautify and uplift you space?

Spring Sparkles
It's spring sparkles today. Don't you just love it when you have old, cherished pieces of clothing you can wear over and over? It's one of the benefits of purchasing pieces that's not trendy. You get milage out of them.
Such is the case with this sequin top and pants i'm wearing. I love, love them, and as long as they fit me, I will keep them in my closet for a few wears per year. And though i've worn these pieces before, i've never worn them together. I paired them up with a new Blazer from Jcrew, and it did the trick.
Really, dressing stylishly or fashionably or whatever you want to call it doesn't have to cost a lot. Recycling your clothing with one or two current pieces can make your look fresh and fashion forward.

Yeah, I got it. I figured, as someone below your post suggested, that folks might find five people to go in on a five roll order. Postage would be insignificant compared to the price.
Haha oh well, I didn't think you would have any, I was going along with the theme of bothering you with Kodachrome things.
I AM at my witts end with all my Agfa/ORWO/foma films from the 50's that I have now shot and want developed on color, maybe I'll harass you by mail and mail you all my film one at a time, every day another Agfa NK-17 roll falls through the mail slot.. Hehe can you imagine the insanity? ;)
I think I'll get all the Chem together, it's not hard just tedious.
I wish I could just x-process in current color chem and not destroy it in the mean time..
Well Velvia seems to handle color saturation just fine...

Neither of us did!
I love it. Even though you're so very tired of all the ballyhooing about Kodachrome being gone, you haven't lost your graciousness or sense of humor. You're a true gentleman and the APUG community is so much richer because of your presence here.
I also stopped shooting Kodachrome quite a while ago because the fastest speed I could get was 64 (I don't think the 200-speed version was available yet), and my lens was so slow and flash was so wimpy (I was a poor student then) that I couldn't get decent Christmas pictures with a 64-speed film. Ektachrome 200 was fast enough so that's what I switched to. I did shoot a roll or two of the K200 when it was available, but didn't like it as well as I did the Ektachrome or the K64.
Thanks. As you can imagine, my life has been photography above all else. I have lived, breathed, and worked it since I was about 8 or 12 depending on B&W or color. It has been mostly fun!!! sometimes low spots, but this Kodachrome thing is really getting to me. Let it go people. It will not come back, and its qualities were, in some sense, an accident of demands for quality and keeping.
Oh well.
The real workers were Fred and Ed. Dick S worked on lab processing and Dick B and I were just bystanders who worked on color developing agents at that time.
Best wishes .
I never actually used Kodachrome, the results I saw were grainy with weird colours, and it was slow, and more expensive to process. 75 years ago, it was a brilliant idea, but, really, Kodachrome was on life support when I started shooting colour in 1978, there were other transparency films with better colour accuracy, finer grain, higher speed and easier processing even then, 34 years ago now.
Sorry Paul - cannot agree with you here.
My best Kodachromes were shot after 1978 (until the late 1980s), and survive well to this day.

The news that CNN's ratings are at a ten-year low should come as no surprise to viewers of the cable news channel. The consensus is the downward spiral of the network's viewership is due to the fact that it is caught in the middle between two supposedly hyper-partisan competitors — Fox News on the right and MSNBC on the left — with the result that their brand of nonpartisan news is being marginalized.
But this interpretation of events is not only incorrect, it misses the point about why audiences aren't thrilled by CNN. When given a choice between channels that don't pretend to be totally even-handed like Fox and MSNBC and one that is masquerading as above such things, most will inevitably choose the former over the latter. Contrary to the self-serving excuse that CNN's professionalism doesn't sell as well as the partisanship exhibited on Fox and MSNBC, the viewers aren't being fooled. They know that most of the hosts on CNN tilt sharply to the left and are put off by the pretense of objectivity.
Flotsam and Jetsam
There's an understatement: "Juan Williams said Friday morning that NPR fired him this week because the radio network had become 'vindictive' over his appearances on Fox News." Exhibit A: "NPR CEO Vivian Schiller on Thursday said that Williams should have kept his comments between himself and 'his psychiatrist or his publicist.' Schiller later apologized for the comment." As a recovering labor lawyer, I can tell you that's a plaintiff's dream come true.
There's a signal here: "The average of these states show that early voting has shifted from a D+16.6 partisan split to a D+1.7 partisan split for a Republican gain of +14.9% since 2008." So many voters operating with the lizard brain, aren't there?
There's another reason to repeal ObamaCare. "Congressional Budget Office director Doug Elmendorf said Friday that ObamaCare includes work disincentives likely to shrink the amount of labor used in the economy."
There's no indication as to how they feel about Juan Williams. "Al-Qaeda Troubled by Helen Thomas's Firing."
There's no indication that Jews agree with the tut-tutters that Israel is too "divisive" a campaign issue. JTA reports: "The National Jewish Democratic Council is running a 'Day of Action,' a get out the vote effort, nationwide on Sunday. The Republican Jewish Coalition is chockablock with events in the coming days, including an appearance by former Bush administration spokesman Ari Fleischer in Chicago, where a lot of RJC attention has been focused, backing candidates Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) for the Senate and Joel Pollak and Bob Dold for the House. The RJC is running TV ads in the Philadelphia area targeting Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.), the candidate for the state's open U.S. Senate seat — not for J Street deviations from dogma, as in the past, but for backing civilian trials for terrorists."
There's not a single one predicting the Democrats will hold the House (number of predicted losses are in parenthesis): Larry Sabato (47), RCP ("up to 57″), Charlie Cook (52), Jay Cost (61), and Nate Silver (51).
There's a headline for Peter Sellers's fans: "Not Even Clouseau Could Make Panthers Disappear." Quin Hillyer cites the Washington Post front-page story from yesterday and explains, "[Eric] Holder's stonewalling can't work. The truth will out. The truth appears to involve a pattern of race-based enforcement decisions at DOJ. Such a policy is unlawful. Period." Actually, "Exclamation point!"
There's no hotter Republican than Chris Christie. "He quickly has positioned himself as a politician in tune with an angry and impatient electorate, and he's already mentioned as a 2012 presidential candidate. He's well aware that the fate of his fight with the teachers union could determine his own. 'If I wanted to be sure I'd be re-elected, I'd cozy up with the teachers union. … But I want far-reaching, not incremental, change.'"
There's a lot of hype in the reporting on the WikiLeaks documents, says Tom Joscelyn. But, he explains, the documents do confirm "that Iran was, and remains, a principal sponsor of Shia extremist groups in Iraq. These same groups helped bring Iraq to the brink of chaos — along with al-Qaeda, which was also happy to fuel the sectarian violence. … They killed far more civilians than the American-led coalition ever did."
There's probably been a more counterproductive ad than Jack Conway's attack on Rand Paul's religion. But I just can't think of one.
J Street's Dead End
Easy prediction: the revelation that J Street has been underwritten by George Soros, who has used the anti-Semitic canard that Jews cause anti-Semitism, and a mystery woman from Hong Kong, and that it has lied about its Soros connection, will spell the end of J Street. It might limp along, but its days as a player — or wanna-be player, more precisely — are over. The Jewish press has excoriated it. Mainstream Jewish leaders are doing the same. Eli Lake, who broke the initial story of the Soros connection, reports:
Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, said Monday that The Times story was important because it exposed how Mr. Soros was funding J Street despite previous denials from the group. … Mr. Hoenlein said "this is further evidence of the duplicity that they have manifested all along, portraying themselves as something they are not, and engaging in attacks against others when they should have been taking care of their own house."
More important, it has become politically radioactive. The White House wouldn't comment on Soros Street or whether it will enjoy the same cozy relationship it did when it concealed its Soros ties. Minority Whip (soon to be Majority Leader) Eric Cantor turned up the heat:
In an interview Monday, Rep. Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican and House minority whip, said: "The White House needs to disassociate itself from J Street, denounce J Street and cut off all ties."
Mr. Cantor, the only Jewish Republican in the House, added that "I am hopeful this revelation will now cause people to begin to ignore what they say. They are not reflecting the mainstream position of the pro-Israel community in America, nor do I think they help benefit the U.S.-Israel relationship."
J Street's beneficiaries, like Rep. Steve Cohen, are offering a nominal defense, but it's hard to see others throwing themselves on Soros's grenade.
Joel Pollak, who is running against J Street endorsee Jan Schakowsky, is calling on his opponent to give back the Soros money:
Jan Schakowsky is one of the top recipients of campaign cash from J Street, the far-left organization that opposes Israel at every opportunity. It turns out that J Street has taken $750,000 from George Soros, despite the earlier denials of J Street executive director Jeremy Ben-Ami. And J Street took even more money–almost half of its budget–from a foreign donor in Hong Kong. The organization has lost any credibility it may have had.
Thus far this election cycle, Schakowsky has received tens of thousands of dollars from J Street–close to $50,000, according to OpenSecrets.org, and perhaps twice as much in reality. J Street has made me their #1 target in the 2010 election, because I have taken on their leaders and their misguided policies–and also because I received the endorsement of Alan Dershowitz, whom J Street attacks, among other Jewish leaders. … In February, Jan Schakowsky boasted: "I've been a supporter of J Street since its inception." In June, she thanked J Street for its money. Today, it's time for her to cut her ties to J Street and give back the cash.
How long before others do the same?
J Street operated under the guise that it was a legitimate grassroots, pro-Israel organization. Its positions have demonstrated that it is anything but pro-Israel. The Soros revelation demonstrates that it is not a genuine expression of "liberal Zionism" (we'll leave discussion of that oxymoron for another time). If Democrats are really concerned with the influence of shadowy money in politics, cutting ties and returning the dirty Soros Street loot is the best way to prove their concern for the health of our democratic process. And you don't need a law that tramples on the First Amendment to do it. Just give back the cash.
Will J Street Weigh Down Its Endorsed Candidates?
Last week, I questioned whether J Street had become more trouble than its worth to liberal Democratic candidates. In its highest-profile race — the Sestak-Toomey Pennsylvania Senate contest — the answer is clearly no.
In response to the Emergency Committee for Israel's (ECI) ad buy and the ensuing flurry of news stories, J Street, with great fanfare, announced an ad buy of its own. However, a knowledgeable source provides me with numbers that demonstrate that the buy is puny — a grand total of $6,000. The J Street movers and shakers plunked down all of $2,600 for Philly cable. In Pittsburgh, J Street has spread its largess to the tune of $3,250. In Harrisburg — hold on to your hats — $150 was thrown about for their endorsed candidate.
This, folks, is a pittance. J Street's biggest "contribution" is to bog Joe Sestak down in controversy. The group's Gaza 54 letter, which Sestak signed, is one of the pillars of a now widely distributed ad going after Sestak's Israel bona fides. His endorsement by J Street and the series of positions he has taken that have met with J Street's favor (not to mention the letter to the UN Human Rights Council, which smacks of J Street accommodation with Israel-bashers) have made prominent an issue Sestak plainly doesn't want to be front and center. And yet it is — not only by virtue of ECI's ad but also because of the free media attention it has garnered — with J Street's help. Is this the sort of help a liberal candidate really needs in a very tough election year?
Moreover, J Street's own agenda — defending Obama "unconditionally" — seems to take precedence over the needs of individual congressmen. Does Sestak really benefit from an ad with a picture of Obama speaking at the UN and praising the president's Middle East approach? It is very hard to see how. It's certainly not going to make Jewish voters less nervous about him.
J Street seems to want to do two contradictory things — be controversial and antagonistic toward robust supporters of Israel (e.g., AIPAC, ECI) and also be influential in House and Senate races. Unfortunately for the Democrats in those races, J Street's behavior infects their campaigns.
Here is a small but telling example. Joel Pollak (no relation to Noah), a fresh Republican face and strong friend of Israel, has gained the support of Alan Dershowitz against the Israel-bashing and J Street–endorsed Jan Schakowsky in the Illinois 9th. Pollak relates the following on his Facebook page:
Today is Tisha B'Av, when Jews traditionally commemorate the destruction of Jerusalem and mourn other tragedies in our history. Last night, as the holiday began, the new left-wing lobby known as J Street threw a cocktail party in downtown Chicago. The featured guest was J Street president Jeremy Ben-Ami. Since J Street has refused any previous request to debate the issues with me, I went down to speak to Ben-Ami & Co. myself.
One of my opponent's senior staffers was there, as were about a dozen J Street staff and supporters. Ben-Ami was cordial, but seemed indifferent to the significance of the day. I asked him why J Street's new ad attacks Joe Lieberman, who is well respected in the Jewish community. He described Lieberman–who supports direct talks between Israelis and Palestinians towards a two-state solution–as an "obstacle" to peace.
"If you showed the same enthusiasm in opposing Iran and Hamas as you do in fighting Alan Dershowitz, Elie Wiesel, and Joe Lieberman," I said, "perhaps J Street would be more popular." I also asked Ben-Ami about his organization's attempt to use the federal government to target Jewish charities that may provide services to Israelis living across the 1949 armistice line. Why not investigate Islamic charities that fund anti-Israel views?
"I don't give a shit about Islamic charities," was Ben-Ami's exact quote.
Now, does this help Pollak's opponent or Pollak?
J Street brings its own baggage to midterm races but not much cash. Once candidates figure this out, will they really want a J Street stamp of approval? It's hard to see why they would.
Will Obama's Israel Policy Inflict Damage in the Midterms?
This report on the impact of Obama's Israel policy on the midterm elections should be read in full. Particularly telling are the Obama sycophants in the Jewish community. How do you defend the worst presidential record on Israel in recent memory? There are two options.
First, deny there is anything wrong — anything at all — with Obama's policy. For ludicrous spin, nothing quite matches the National Democratic Jewish Council: "The U.S.-Israel alliance 'has never been stronger or more strategically aligned than it is today,' said David Harris, president of the National Jewish Democratic Council." Statements like that reveal the group is nothing more than a shill for the Democratic Party. Harris doesn't have much to work with when defending a president who has condemned the Jewish state, demanded unilateral concessions from Israel, insulted the prime minister, recited the Palestinian-victim narrative from Cairo but has not visited Israel, hinted about (and then retreated from) an imposed peace deal, singled out Israel in an NPT statement (and then told Bibi he didn't mean anything by it) and refused to commit America to Israel's defense against an existential threat (to the contrary, has suggested military force against Iran is off the table). However, for the sake of his own credibility, he'd be wise to stop the over-the-top flackery.
Another option is to take refuge in the notion that many American Jews don't give much thought to Israel. J Street — which says (but only some of the time) that it is pro-Israel — seems downright pleased that many Jews are more concerned with ObamaCare and global warming than with the Jewish state:
J Street officials boast that their political action committee has distributed more money to candidates for the 2010 elections – some $680,000 – than during the entire 2008 campaign. But J Street also argues that Israel policy is not a top priority for most Jewish voters. The group's president, Jeremy Ben-Ami, said a recent poll it commissioned found that less than 10 percent of American Jews cited Israel as one of their top two voting issues.
"It's really a small percentage for whom this is a top-tier issue," Ben-Ami said.
For a guy trying to pass himself off as Israel's friend, he doesn't sound like this is a problem — or like his job is to elevate Israel to the top tier of concerns.
But out in the country where real candidates are running, and where real voters roll their eyes over Beltway spin, there will be contests in which Israel plays a key role. As The Hill points out, the J Street endorsed Joe Sestak (a signatory on the Gaza 54 letter and a friend of CAIR) is facing a tough challenge from Pat Toomey, who has been hammering at this and other issues as evidence of Sestak's extreme leftism. There are important House races as well:
The battle between J Street and other Jewish groups has flared in a House race in Illinois, where incumbent Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D), has come under fire from a Republican challenger, Joel Pollak, for her stance on Israel. Pollack won the endorsement of Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, a Democrat known for his hawkish support of Israel. In response, J Street circulated an online fund-raising petition for Schakowsky, collecting $40,000 in a day.
Now, the most compelling evidence that Obama's Israel policy has been a flop and has domestic political consequences comes from the White House itself. Had Obama not polluted the U.S.-Israel relationship and shocked even faithful Democratic supporters, would he have launched a "charm offensive"? Had a do-over meeting with Bibi? Maybe he isn't the swellest pro-Israel president ever.
Bloody Lies!
Joel Pollak (no relation) reports on his blog that Charles Enderlin, the France 2 television reporter implicated in the Mohammed al-Dura fabrication, admitted at a talk at Harvard last night that the famous scenes of Yasser Arafat donating blood after the 9/11 attacks were, like the footage of the IDF killing al-Dura, staged:
Enderlin said the event had been staged for the media to counteract the embarrassing television images of Palestinians celebrating in the streets after the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks.
The blood donation story made headlines around the world. It was reported by esteemed news agencies like the BBC, and photographs of Arafat lying with an outstretched arm ran on many front pages. But the whole scene was staged, Enderlin said. Arafat didn't like needles, and so the doctor put a needle near his arm and agitated a bag of blood. The reporters took the requisite photographs.
Arafat, it's worth noting, died in 2005 of AIDS, and it is thus a good thing that he didn't actually donate blood. Is it possible that the reputation of the international press corps in Israel, especially its European members, could get any worse?
Why Was Ronnie Kasrils in Iran?
In today's Business Day of South Africa, Paul Moorcraft of the British Centre for Policy Analysis raises some troubling questions about South Africa's nuclear program (thanks to Joel Pollak for the link). contentions readers may recall that Gabriel Schoenfeld raised questions about a break-in at South Africa's Pelindaba nuclear facility back in December, a story which appeared on page A29 of the Washington Post.
Moorcraft cites a new book by the journalist A.J. Venter:
Venter also sheds new light on the extent of SA's post-apartheid deals in missile and nuclear technology. He makes the startling claim that SA, which dismantled its six nukes under international auspices, is considering renewing its nuclear arsenal. Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils, "a card-carrying, outspokenly anti-Israel Jewish member of the South African Communist Party", in Venter's words, allegedly briefed his intelligence staff in Pretoria that a nuclear-armed SA would propel the country to the forefront of African politics and "be able to look after itself in the event of serious trouble".
Kasrils is more than just an "outspokenly anti-Israel" member of the African National Congress. He is the most high-profile and prolific slanderer of Israel in South Africa. I wrote about Kasrils, in the broader context of South Africa's troubling direction towards an anti-Western foreign policy, in last summer's Azure. It appears that Iran is looking in the most unlikely of places to gain the materials necessary for strengthening its nuclear capability:
Venter's evidence bolsters the conventional wisdom that Iran is hell-bent on acquiring nuclear weapons. In the intelligence world, threat is calculated as capability plus intention. The crude statements by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about destroying Israel grafts open intention on to the feared future capability. Iran has been shopping all over the world, so the South African connection, although worrying to western intelligence, is relatively small compared with the bigger players, such as Pakistan and North Korea.
As Pollak rightly surmises, "Perhaps we now know why Kasrils and other senior South African government officials have been visiting Iran in recent months."

Almost 30 revellers were hospitalised at DJ Avicii's gig in Toronto, Canada on Saturday night.
Fans flocked to the sold-out show at the 20,000-seat Rogers Centre but concertgoers began falling ill before the DJ had even began his set.
According to local reports, 29 fans were taken to hospital suffering from side-effects of alcohol or drug use.
Emergency Medical Services commander Peter Rotolo told CTV News, "Unfortunately we have a few kids… excessive alcohol and partying and they can't handle it."
Five people were said to be in a serious condition.
Despite the drama, the show went on as planned, with Avicii taking to Twitter.com after his set to thanks fans for a fun night.
He wrote, "Torontooooo! Every show ive had here in Canada has been amazing and tonight rly (really) meant a lot to me! Thank you for all your love and support!!"

Jip the Blood
Envision 1970's South Philadelphia, at the heart of the Italian American immigrant community filled with hucksters, merchants, mongers, butchers. Among them you would have found our infamous, wheeling and dealing, Jip the Blood. This Berliner Weisse, fittingly brewed with blood orange puree, flows much like the man they called Jip the Blood. It starts off with a substantially quenching punch of sourness. That intense but pleasant tartness fades to a wonderfully balanced character and body with notes of citrus. Much like a run-in with Jip, the beer comes on strong but leaves you with an enduring and unforgettable finish, or so the story goes...

Somnath favours strictest punishment, FIR against guilty MPs
Demanding "the strictest of punishments", including criminal proceedings against MPs who created unprecedented disturbances during the introduction of the Telangana bill, former Lok Sabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee Thursday said politics of enmity was taking precedence over policies.
"I think the strictest of punishments should be given, whichever party a member may be from. Expulsion is minimal action against them," Chatterjee said reacting to violent scenes in the Lok Sabha when a member from Andhra Pradesh used pepper spray.
The veteran leader, winner of the outstanding parliamentarian award in 1996, said criminal proceedings should be started against the Lok Sabha members who indulged in violence.
"There should be FIRs against these persons. I am ashamed as an Indian. What has happened is very unfortunate," said Chatterjee.
Describing the turn of events in the Lok Sabha during the day as "shocking", he wondered why things were deteriorating day by day in parliament.
"It seems politics is becoming devoid of policies. We only see politics of enmity, revenge," he said on a day 16 MPs were suspended for turning parliament into a house of shame.
"What is the alternative? Is it fascism, presidential system, or monarchy? I don't know. The worst thing is one party becomes happy if another gets dirty," added the octogenarian.

To help celebrate their 75th anniversary, the folks at Paul Stuart are hosting a year's worth of giveaways. But you knew that already. What you didn't know is what the lucky June winner will get — until now. This month's winner will receive his and hers watches from the famed Swiss company Baume & Mercier.

I'm a social worker and I adopted a child last year. It sounds like you have made up your mind regarding wat you want to do. However, you need support too. You have options. I would consider someone in the family first,2nd option would be to contact an adoption agency after doing some research, 3rd option contact social services in your state/community. I would not try contacting a random person that says I want to adopt. Believe me when I say that there are thousands of people/couples who want to adopt. Try to find an agency that will allow you to have some say regarding who will raise your baby-if that is important to you. When I adopted my son, it was through a state agency. His mother and I got to know each other. I am open to keeping her and her extended family involved. Adoption is awesome and I truly love my son like I had him myself. Keep your head up. You're trying to be the best Mom that you can be and don't doubt yourself. If I can help with info, let me know. God Blessposted 06/09/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I just found out I'm pregnant. I tested a couple days ago I'm maybe 7 weeks not for certain. I already decided to give the chance of being a mom to another woman. Even before I knew for sure I was pregnant I knew what I was gonna do. I am honest and not to be mean or cruel but I only want to hand the new mom the beautifuil baby after that I do not need any pictures or updates. I have three kids of my own and my youngest is 1. My phone number is 405-923-8722 I'm at school so please text me first and ill call back asap. Please if possible let me know a little bit about your thoughts if you are interested in this opportunity!posted 11/14/2014 by jacksonfivecj
I just want to tell everyone to please be careful on here (& similar sites). There are a lot of dishonest, immoral people who prey on a person's unfortunate situation and try to scam you. It's bad enough that adoption and ivf are so insanely expensive, but then to know people use you're emotions to take what money you do have to spend is even worse. Shame on them.posted 11/23/2014 by a BabyCenter Member

A year is made up of four seasons, each with its own identity and experiences. These same four seasons can be said to describe the life of a relationship. The relationship between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash rises and falls with time, but through sadness, hardship, joy, and laughter, they both love each other with a depth that cannot be fathomed.
This is but a glimpse into the life of that love, told over the course of a year – a year of four very different seasons that span a lifetime.
Umm......No, with that angle, all she'd be able to see is Fluttershy's tail.
It barely blocks. Even if it did, it's only blocking one side. Either way, it's still a part of Fluttershy she's looking at.
Also, when you look closely, you realize that she isn't really smiling.
Irrelevant. She wasn't smiling because she was bored. What do you do when you're bored? Rainbow Dash had an interest in Fluttershy's tail for a reason, or flank.

Kevin Hurst, traffic and maintenance superintendent for Wauwatosa, imagines a day when electric-car chargers are stationed throughout the city. But for now, he's excited about getting one in the garage at City Hall.
A hybrid car arrived at City Hall two weeks ago, and an electric one, which will have to be plugged in each night, is on its way. They are part of an experiment by city officials to see how much money Wauwatosa can save on fuel by relying more on electricity.
"We're a really progressive city, and administration is really pushing that," Hurst said. "They want us to cut down on our fuel use and reduce are carbon footprint, as we should."
Hurst said the city needed to replace three cars at City Hall, so officials decided to take the opportunity to make some changes.
"You either change with the technology, or you get left behind," Hurst said.
The cars will be used by the electrical inspector, code enforcer and building inspector. Hurst will be watching the gas and electricity bills for the cars to do the city's own math on the savings, but he is expecting to see savings.
With a price tag for the city of $31,400, the electric car was about $15,000 more than the Ford Focus. But over the ten-year period the city usually keeps a car, Hurst said the city will likely save about $1,750 per year, eventually eclipsing the difference in initial cost.
"Electric vehicles are the wave of the future," Hurst said. "They are sustainable, and as they get cheaper and the price of the battery drops, I think you'll see a lot more electric vehicles on the road."
The cars will present new challenges for the city's mechanics, who Hurst said will need to be trained on hybrid and electric vehicles. But he wasn't worried, noting the sign on the shop that says, "Fleet maintenance: yes we can."
"I don't think this is going to be a real issue," Hurst said. "For our guys normally working on big, heavy-duty garbage trucks, it's exciting and cutting edge. We got some guys in their 50s and some in their 30s, and they're all on board with this and excited to see how this is going to work out."

I was a (proud!) speaker at ScienceOnline London 2008 — which would not have happened without my readers' kind and generous support! However, when I was in London, I was given a t-shirt as part of the goody bag that was, to put it politely, a tad small.
Okay, it was smaller than a "tad small": even though it was a "medium" size — yes, I do wear medium and have lots of room left over, too — this t-shirt was so small that my not-huge-at-all boobs emphasized certain portions of the "ScienceOnline London" phrase. It scared me so much that the t-shirt and I parted company before I relocated to Germany. SADLY! Sooooooo … my suggestion is PLEASE make those t-shirts larger! If you're going to provide "medium" t-shirts, then make sure they're really a medium size! Make those t-shirts a wearable size! Make them a size that doesn't make me look like I am a scientist with boobs squeezed into that tiny shirt! (Because we all know that there's no worse fate than being a scientist who is a grrl).

How to Make a Soap Carving
Soap carving is a fun and easy way to create sculptures from a bar of soap. As opposed to wood carving, which is more dangerous and should only be done by skilled individuals, anyone from young children, to adults can enjoy carving creations from soap. The resulting sculptures can then be displayed, or used as soap.
1Make sure you have a well covered area to do your soap carving on, then choose a bar of soap. Any soap will work, however, a large bar is easier to hold and gives more material to work with.Ad
2Choose a knife to use. Soap is fairly soft, so a sharp knife is not necessary. Plastic knives, spoons, or Popsicle sticks could also work. This is especially important to note if younger children are doing this project to prevent any accidents from using sharp knives.
3Decide on what subject to carve. A turtle or fish are frequent choices for a first carving, as they are similar to the shape of most bars of soap. You can also choose other subjects such as birds, hearts, boats anything that tickles your fantasy.
4Draw an outline of your carving on one side of the soap. You can either draw the outline first using a pencil, or directly use a knife, orange wood stick, or toothpick to scrape the outline into the soap.
5Remove the soap outside the outline using small slivers or chips. Make sure to scrape away only small portions at a time, as it would be easier to remove than to put back an over scraped portion. Cutting off too much would cause the soap to break off into chunks.
6Add detail to the inside of the outline to refine the design further.
7When the carving is finished, wet your finger and rub the surface of the soap to create a smooth finish. Allow it to dry and harden for a day before using.AdAd

- Use a fresh bar of soap instead of an old dry bar. Dry soap is brittle and may crack or crumble.
- Repair small cracks and rough patches by using a toothpick to slightly dampen the area, then smoothing over with your fingers.
- Save your shavings, you can make liquid soap with them. Be careful, do not rush your work so that it will be perfect.
- Ivory soap makes a good beginner bar. It is large, soft, easy to work with, and easy to obtain.
- Carve the soap roughly into the shape you want it first and then go over it and remove the extra odd bits.
- If younger children are using sharp objects to do this project, ensure that they have adequate adult supervision.
- Always carve away from hands and belly.
- Soap carving and sculpting is not suitable for children under 5 due to the potential for swallowing the soap or other small pieces.
- Keep your hands dry. If they are wet or damp, the soap will become very slippery.

Acoustic axes in triclinic anisotropy
View Description Hide DescriptionCalculation of acoustic axes in triclinic elasticanisotropy is considerably more complicated than for anisotropy of higher symmetry. While one polynomial equation of the 6th order is solved in monoclinic anisotropy, we have to solve two coupled polynomial equations of the 6th order in two variables in triclinic anisotropy. Furthermore, some solutions of the equations are spurious and must be discarded. In this way we obtain 16 isolated acoustic axes, which can run in real or complex directions. The real/complex acoustic axes describe the propagation of homogeneous/inhomogeneous plane waves and are associated with a linear/elliptical polarization of waves in their vicinity. The most frequent number of real acoustic axes is 8 for strong triclinic anisotropy and 4 to 6 for weak triclinic anisotropy. Examples of anisotropy with no or 16 real acoustic axes are presented.
Parametrization of acoustic boundary absorption and dispersion properties in time-domain source/receiver reflection measurement
View Description Hide DescriptionClosed-form analytic time-domain expressions are obtained for the acoustic pressure associated with the reflection of a monopole point-source excited impulsive acoustic wave by a planar boundary with absorptive and dispersive properties. The acoustic properties of the boundary are modeled as a local admittance transfer function between the normal component of the particle velocity and the acoustic pressure. The transfer function is to meet the conditions for linear, time-invariant, causal, passive behavior. A parametrization of the admittance function is put forward that has the property of showing up explicitly, and in a relatively simple manner, in the expression for the reflected acoustic pressure. The partial fraction representation of the complex frequency domain admittance is shown to have such a property. The result opens the possibility of constructing inversion algorithms that enable the extraction of the relevant parameters from the measured time traces of the acoustic pressure at different offsets, parallel as well as normal to the boundary, between source and receiver. Illustrative theoretical numerical examples are presented.
A time-domain model of transient acoustic wave propagation in double-layered porous media
View Description Hide DescriptionThis paper concerns a time-domain model of transient wave propagation in double-layered porous materials. An analytical derivation of reflection and transmission scattering operators is given in the time domain. These scattering kernels are the medium's responses to an incident acoustic pulse. The expressions obtained take into account the multiple reflections occurring at the interfaces of the double-layered material. The double-layered porous media consist of two slabs of homogeneous isotropic porous materials with a rigid frame. Each porous slab is described by a temporal equivalent fluid model, in which the acoustic wave propagates only in the fluid saturating the material. In this model, the inertial effects are described by the tortuosity; the viscous and thermal losses of the medium are described by two susceptibility kernels which depend on the viscous and thermal characteristic lengths. Experimental and numerical results are given for waves transmitted and reflected by double-layered porous media formed by air-saturated plastic foam samples.
Method of superposition applied to patch near-field acoustic holography
View Description Hide DescriptionThe method of superposition may be applied to reconstruct the field on a partial surface on a radiating structure from measurements made on a nearby limited surface. Unlike conformal near-field holography, where the measurementsurface surrounds the entire structure, in patch holography the measurementsurface need only be approximately as large as the patch on the structuresurface where the reconstruction is required. Using the method of superposition, the field on and near the measurementsurface may be approximated by the field produced by a source distribution placed on a surface inside the structure. The source strengths are evaluated by applying boundary conditions on the measurementsurface. The algorithm requires the inversion of the Green's function matrix which may be ill-conditioned. Truncated singular value decomposition is used to invert it. The field on the structuresurface is then approximated by the field produced by the source distribution. The algorithm is easier to implement than the boundary elements method because it does not require integrations over singular integrands and may be applied to flat or curved surfaces.
A space–time filtered gradient method for detecting directions of echoes and transient soundsa)
View Description Hide DescriptionThe gradient vector (e.g., of the acoustic pressure) indicates the direction to the source of a wave, but it is easily corrupted by interference from other directions. However the gradient concept, even for higher orders, can be applied rigorously to a beamforming aperture that shields against interference, thereby allowing precise determination of the direction of sound echoes or emissions, especially for very brief, broadband transient sounds. In this treatment there is no gradient sensorper se; the aperture weighting supplants that function. Various geometric shapes can be used as apertures, but simple plates are often best, and the required weightings can be realized by patterned electrodes. The method is shown to be a natural extension of earlier techniques and inventions, and useful interpretations and generalizations are provided, such as compound and steered apertures, instantantly re-steerable nulls, and an equivalence to tracking acoustic particle motion after acoustical shielding from interference. There are two stages: aperture signal extraction, and ratio processing based upon Watson–Watt concepts, for which statistically based formulas are useful. In-water test results are provided.
