To precipitate silver out of fixer, just toss in some of aluminum foil. The aluminum will swap places with the silver which falls to the bottom of the container as a gray metallic sludge. After all the aluminum has disappeared (about 3 or 4 days), I siphon off the spent fixer and pour in another batch. I keep a one gallon wide mouth bottle just for this purpose; by now it probably has a couple of pounds of silver in the bottom.
No more heavy metal into the waste stream...

How is HI - Pitkin Hotel & Hostel rated on other websites?
Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Peaceful I stayed here in 2000-2001 and lived a peaceful existence snowshoeing, Hiking, fishing, reading. She might let you build a fire. She has books and movies. Its a lonely place. Very calm. Loved it. — Travel guy, Usa (2011-10-16)
Average There is a decline in the up keep of the hostel. LAst year we stayed in a private room, this year in the bunks. We were the only guest there besides some guy who was working for Joann to have a free room. The gentlemen as always around cleaning or trying to find out what we were doing. I cooked dinner and the guest proceed to snap at me and told me to leave the kitchen so he could clean up. Joann is a very sweet lady, I believe she is just tired. There are a lot of hygiene issues with the hostel also. You can not flush toilet paper it is thrown away in a garbage can beside the loo and not cleaned for at least a week. There are flies and food that should be refrigerated is left out for days such as mustard, mayo. Very unhygienic. nice area but I do not think I will stay there again. — colorado girl, us (2008-06-13)
one of the best hostels. I stayed there two years ago and loved it. and am planning a return this summer of '06. It is thought to be haunted -- just the more intriging. one of the great places left. — dave bigard (2006-08-05)
I stayed at the PH in late August 2005 and did not find the kitchen to be dirty. The Hotel might not be what it once was but the price is still a steal. I was happy that there was a kitchen for my use at all! Plus all the other things you won't find at the Marriot Suites. — twowheels (2006-01-21)
I've been visiting this hostel since the 1980s, when it was in its prime! It's slipped a great deal from those days. Just last week I spent several days at the hostel. The kitchen was a mess, and not clean. No one seemed to wash his or her own dishes. The owner has had her physical issues, and this is the main reason for its general decline. The majority of guests were non-hostel guests, in the private rooms of the hotel. The hostel has lost its affiliation with HI because of its decline. — Freewheels (2005-08-13)
A fine, 100 year-old stone hotel. All the rooms are on the second floor, along both sides of a long hall. Plumbing, which came late, is mostly toward the back of the building. The first floor is an antique hotel reception room/office and dining room, with old implements and antiques stuck and hanging everywhere. A huge modern kitchen is manned by the guests or not manned at all! Wonderful opportunity to use genuine chef's equipment to make the meal of your dreams. The hostess is charming and witty. Bring your dominos or cards because Pitkin residents are likely to drop in for a game almost any evening. — Anonymous (2004-03-12)

We served this on Christmas Eve and everybody loved it! The salmon was moist and delicious and the potatoes were yummy too...may be a new tradition!flag if inappropriate
My four-fork review refers to the salmon, though the greens were also tasty. My father made this for Christmas dinner, and the flavors were excellent.flag if inappropriate
We prepared this dish for Christmas Eve dinner and were absolutely dazzled. We were a little concerned that the rosemary would overwhelm the dish, but to our delight, the fresh garden rosemary paste was an elegant companion to the succulent flaky Columbia River King Salmon. We followed the recipe au pied de la lettre, but baked the veggies 10 minutes longer in a shallow oval le Creuset baking dish. Instead of greens, we sauteed asparagus in olive oil, a perfect complement to the salmon. Washed down with a bright Henry Estate Pinot Gris, this is a festive, flavorful, easy and delicious dish for any time of year or any occasion.flag if inappropriate
This was by far the best salmon dish I have ever had. I actually put the rub on the salmon in the morning and let is set for 6 hours. Everyone raved about it. I'm making it again on Christmas Eve and I can't wait to eat it!!flag if inappropriate
Made this as a trial run for Christmas dinner. Fantastic. Loved the flavor of the rosemary with the salmon and the vegetables. My husband did not even know he was eating parsnip! Can't wait to serve for Christmas dinner.flag if inappropriate
This is a masterful recipe--now a classic in my repertoire! The salty, crunchy and pungent rosemary paste is a perfect foil to the ultra-fresh and undercooked salmon. I did add some garlic to the vegetable mix and eliminated the mushrooms (too much moisture?). I used the freshest salmon available that day--Norwegian farmed (not previously frozen). The guests gushed with praise! This was for a very important and elegant dinner--for which I did not want to spend much time and effort in the kitchen. It was perfect!flag if inappropriate
This is a masterful recipe--about to become a classic in my repertoire! The salmon has to be the freshest and best for the crunchy, salty and pungent rosemary paste to work. I used a not-previously-frozen Norwegian farmed side of salmon (suggested by the fishmonger). I did add some minced garlic to the oil and paste-tossed vegetables. I also omitted the mushrooms, not wanting excess moisture. Cooking the salmon until just opaque is key to the succulence. I served this for a very important dinner, also not wanting to spend much time in the kitchen. A perfect choice which each guest gushed over! Don't shy away from the kosher salt in the paste. The undercooked, fresh salmon is a perfect foil. They go together well.flag if inappropriate
Served this at a Holiday Party and was very impressed. Super easy, quick assembly, only the parsnips to peel and chop, and very moist. I used Convection Bake @450 and this worked a treat. I did not follow the amount of salt required and just added my usual amount of seasoning and it was perfect. Added a tiny bit more to the potatoes as they were half way through roasting.flag if inappropriate
I made this for a dinner party recently and it got rave reviews. The rosemary rub was really flavorful but did not at all overpower the salmon (which turned out so moist and perfectly cooked). We enjoyed the roasted veggies on the side but I would have cooked them perhaps 2 minutes less.flag if inappropriate
OK...this one gave me a LOT of trouble. First, the amount of salt in the rosemary paste made it completely inedible. Second, are you sure about 450 degrees? My vegetables were mush after only 20 minutes (no surprise there) but that temperature annihilated my salmon. I'm a big fan of Epicurious, and this is the first recipe to trigger an epic fail at dinner. Did you test this one?flag if inappropriate

UF Dietetics Students partner with Alachua County Elementary Schools to Win Second and Third Place
UF Dietetics Students partner with Alachua County Elementary Schools to Win Second and Third Place in Florida Farm to School Week
In Fall 2013, UF FSHN Dietetics Students in the Food Systems Management class teamed up with five Alachua County elementary schools (Duval, Irby, Meadowbrook, Waldo, and Wiles) to plan and build school gardens. Irby Elementary and Waldo Community School recently received state awards for their efforts.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services held the Florida's "What Works" Contest for "Florida Farm to School Week" in November 2013. The purpose of Florida's "What Works" Contest is to encourage and reward outstanding practices in schools that go above and beyond during specific recognition weeks. Two Alachua County schools took top positions during the previous "Florida Farm to School Week" with the assistance of UF Dietetics students. The UF Dietetic students partnered with these local schools by planning and building gardens at the schools and presenting fun educational lessons on nutrition and health.
Congratulations to our Dietetics Students and to Irby Elementary for winning Second Place, and Waldo Community School for winning Third Place in the contest.

While it seems everyone is still reeling over the news that Katie Holmes has filed for divorce from Tom Cruise, we thought we'd take a look back at the couple in happier times.
Here is a timeline of the pair's whirlwind May-December romance.
October, 2004: Katie tells Seventeen magazine: "I think every little girl dreams about (her wedding). I used to think I was going to marry Tom Cruise." Tom is 16 years her senior.
April 27, 2005: While in Italy, Tom and Katie take their new romance public. The coupling comes just shortly after her split from fiance Chris Klein.
April-June, 2005: The couple goes PDA-crazy during red carpet appearances at the David di Donatello Awards and Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball, as well as her film "Batman Begins" and his "War of the Worlds."
May 23, 2005: Cruise appears on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and infamously goes a little nutty while talking about his new love. Everyone remembers the couch jumping, right?
June 13, 2005: Katie announces she is converting from Catholicism to Scientology.
June 16, 2005: Tom proposes to Katie at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.
October 6, 2005: It is announced that Katie is pregnant.
April 18, 2006: Holmes gives birth to the couple's only child together, a daughter named Suri.
October, 2006: The family, including Suri, appears on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in photos taken by Annie Liebovitz.
November 18, 2006: The couple weds in a Scientology ceremony at the 15th-century Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy.
February 26, 2012: The couple makes their last public appearance together, attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
June 28, 2012: Holmes files for divorce from Cruise, citing "irreconcilable differences." She is asking for sole legal custody and "primary residential custody" of Suri.

Fuel sysem replacement / ford voided warranty
I have an 08 with the 6.4. I took it to the dealer for a tapping sound in the engine and engine light on. The dealer called the ford hotline after finding my oil had at least 8 extra quarts of diesel fuel in it. I had 5000 miles on my oil change. My fuel system is trashed and my engine still runs but has some damage as well. The ford rep said since I did not replace my fuel filter at 12,000 miles my engine warranty is void. I have 25,600 miles on my truck. I had my truck at the dealer at 15,500 miles for a quick in and out for a check engine light and they never said anything about needing fuel filters. My manual says 20,000 intervals for normal driving but since I said I towed my boat 1 time, that put me in the severe service bracket. My oil change place replaces fuel filters as well but they never said anything about it either. I had no idea this kind of damage could occur if the fuel filters did not get changed. I would have changed them every time i had my oil changed if anyone, including ford, had told me. Oh, and by the way, if you do not drain your filters for water every month, it voids your warranty as well. That is from Ford. In fact, I read a Ford service paper for this issue and it says that almost every fuel system problem is not covered by the warranty and if it causes fuel to enter the engine, it voids the entire engine warranty. The fact of the matter is that a lot of people are having this problem and Ford does not stand by their product. I am just beginning the process of fileing formal complaints with my state, the BBB, Ford, and looking for an attorney. I cannot believe nobody has filed a class action lawsuit against Ford for the 6.4 diesel engine fuel system. The dealer wants $18,500 for engine replacement or $9,500 for fuel system replacement without fixing ping sound in engine. Other than that, the truck was awsome and loved it.
I'm not sure how a restricted fuel filter would contribute to diesel fuel in the oil. Sounds like a stuck fuel injector to me. Ford is doing everything possible to hide from the 6.4's. FYI, I had to tell my dealer to change the fuel filter even though they were doing all the services. I honestly can't believe a classaction lawsuit has not been filed either. It's shameless to not stand up for this stuff. Even an idiot should not be able to kill a diesel in less than 100,000 miles. It's hard to believe that some called a "Super Duty" is easier to blow up than a Kia. I've totally learned to take nothing for granted with my 6.4. It is not a handsoff vehicle. This is the crap my grandfather told me they went through back in the 30's. Most people have been spoiled over the last 20 years just driving stuff and getting by with it. That does not work on this truck. It's almost like the crap I go through before I fly one of my old jets each time. And that's to stay alive. Ford needs a spanking. Diesel fuel is too inconsistent. Station to station is different. The 6.4 is picky as hell. It's so easy to jam up an injector because it has gotten so precise. The fuel system is so precise that crappy diesel flips it out. In ways I feel sorry for Ford given the emission requirements and crazy diesel in tanks out there. These things are too precise to get along with fuel from Goober's station. It's a crap shoot each time you fill up.
Captain Kirk, This is pretty much exactly what I'm going through w/ford (fuel filter not changed-but have records it was-lead to blown motor). Where are you located?
Ford did a lot of road testing on the 6.4 before turning them lose on the public. They were trying to fix all the 6.0 issues. And in a perfect world, I believe the 6.4 is a very well designed truck. The problem is that diesel is no where near as consistent as gasoline. You can bet Ford was putting perfect diesel in those 6.4's they were testing before production. There is a lot of crappy diesel out there. It is not refined to the extent that gasoline is. God knows what comes out of the pump each time you fill the tank. And there in lies the problem. Ford built a vehicle that demands perfect fuel or crap happens. Unfortunately, lots of diesel fuel does not fit the design demands. Ford sold a very finicky vehicle to the general public and the fuel is not consistent enough to keep it happy. I'd say this is Ford's fault for not treating the test trucks like the end user would. And now we are all exposed to it. I bet the fuel system is less finicky in the 6.7. Ford no doubt had high level meetings on the 6.4's after the **** hit the fan. Ford needs to man-up and stand behind us fools that bought the 6.4's. I believe my 6.4 should last a half million miles like my 6.9 did. If I was smart enough to keep it running that long then I don't deserve a 50,000 mile failure. My 6.9 drank some crappy diesel in it's lifetime and survived.
I have a chevron card and burn only chevron diesel in the truck. Ford know's this problem exists and should be getting out in front of it. they should be sending out letters to all the owners letting them know they must change fuel filters every 12,000 miles (or by engine hours). Their official posisition is that almost all fuel related problems are not covered by the warranty and that includes bad fuel and water. here is what happened to my truck as it was explained to me. when the fuel filters get plugged it starves the high pressure fuel pump which causes it to overheat and start sending tiny pieces of metal into the fuel system which causes an injector to stay open and constantly flood fuel into the piston which blows past it and into the crank case. my owners manual says if fuel filter gets plugged i will experience a performance loss. i never experienced any loss in power or any other indication my fuel filters were in need of a change. it does not say my high pressure fuel pump will fail and cause fatal engine damage. if the hpfp does not fail there is no problem. it's a bad pump. that is my beef with ford. i know there are many of us out there and i am fighting this to the end. i am located in the Modesto, CA area.

The explanation makes sense. But why did Ford design a high pressure pump that could introduce metal into the fuel system so easily? And why didn't Ford school you on this at your last service? I sure like the good old days better. The old 6.9 and 7.3's would just lose power till you put a new filter on. This high pressure pump is a whole new game. Ford needs to come up with a better system than this. $20,000+ dollar failures should not occur from a fuel filter that missed a change interval. The fuel system in the 6.4 is poorly thought out and Ford is trying their best not to foot the bill.
called ford. they said they would have a customer service supervisor call me back. i told them that if they do not warranty my vehicle it is going to ruin their reputation. i deal with most of California's largest construction companies who drive ford vehicles in their fleet and word had gotten around of what ford is doing to me. they are all calling me to see how this works out. if ford does not fix my problem they are going to loose thousands of sales in my area, i will send my story to the media call into radio programs, and i will find everyone else who ford is doing this to and file a class action lawsuit. They are doing this to thousands of people. why is Ford going crazy with voiding warranties? they act like they are going out of business and don't want loyal customers anymore. FIX OUR TRUCKS!
I see both sides of this owning a manufacturing company myself. Ford really did try hard to make the 6.4 good. The problem is lots of truck owners expect these things to be idiot proof. Most stuff in our lives is now days. Gasoline cars and trucks almost all have neglected fuel filters. It's way common to see filters pushed way past 50,000 miles. And the electric pumps in the tank don't like it. They run hotter from all the resistence of the blocked filter. It ends up killing off the pump early. You drop the tank and put a new one in. The person hands you $400 and learns to change the filter every 30000 miles. $400 dollars is a lot easier lesson than $20,000+. Ford needed to engineer the fuel system to have less expensive failures. Maybe an electric pump instead of one driven off the engine? I don't know. My Jet Provost uses a Rolls Royce Viper in it. The high pressure pump is driven off an accessory box. It can't unload into the engine. Fuel nozzles are enormous in it and I don't think a pump failure could plug it. The fuel nozzles are changed every 250 hours just to make sure the spray pattern is good. A bad pattern leads to a flame out and air restarts are far from a sure thing. I guess my point is that a 6.4 should not have to be watched so closely. New **** should have evolved past this point!
This is a way to fix it yourself, but Ford should retrofit this to all our truck at their expense.

I grew up in a Ford family, owned nothing but Fords, my father has worked for a Ford Dealer for 40 years. My children came home from Hospitals in them, they protected my family through snow, crashes, hurricanes, and helped build my yard. I have been under many, pulled my camper with them, responded to a rural hospital with a dying child in one. I swear this, I wll never buy another unless they buck up and stop this nonsense. I have read enough to know that Ford has a problem and they are being cowards about it. I will NEVER buy a GM or Chrysler do to the Fed Govt bailouts. I will only ever own a diesel again if Toyota decides to make one. That is of course unless Ford mans up and stands behind us and their products.

Dear man do you even perceive what you are saying, Voorlex--It is apparent that they have been here for quite some time and there is even quarreling among themselves. Is an advance civilization of intelligent beings such as us careless about sanctity of life, of an sentient being with a mind like unto God's, think what our minds are capable of compare to all the creatures in the universe. Thus then, why should we beware of an invasion of people that are here already and the sentinels that are present to make sure the agreed upon laws are kept--any sane sentient being would recognize the need mutual laws to live by seeing we are not clones, but differ in personalities, both the good and the bad--is every a Saint?

FORT DRUM Cultural resources officials on post continue to research the site of a fire 65 years ago today that killed five soldiers to determine whether it could be eligible for placement in the National Register of Historic places.
The site is still quite intact, said E.W. Duane Quates, archaeologist for the Fort Drum Cultural Resources Program. Things were where they should be.
But the barracks fire in the early morning of Dec. 10, 1947, at Pine Camp, predecessor to the modern post, is more than a piece of history. It spawned a series of lawsuits producing what is known as the Feres Doctrine: that interpretation of the Federal Tort Claims Act limits service members and their family members from collecting damages in civil suits against the federal government for injuries and deaths connected to their service, even in cases of malpractice or negligence by other service members.
Mr. Quates said that during digs done earlier in the year, he and his team found the buildings footprint as it was in 1947, and are analyzing the items they found at the site.
In an office area, a typewriter was found, and pieces of a porcelain urinal were found in a latrine. Other items found include a stove, debris from the fire, framing lumber and a rubber-soled tennis shoe, along with uniform items such as a collar pin, zipper and buttons.
Mr. Quates said he hoped that his teams work could be finished this winter, but it could be pushed back into the summer. He said he and his staff also are considering placing a marker at the site of the fire, on the southern side of the post.
The five soldiers who died during or as a result of the fire Capt. Robert Dodge, Capt. Francis Turner, 1st Lt. Rudolph Feres, 1st Lt. Wallace Swilley and 1st Lt. Robert Manly were on post for Exercise Snowdrop, a test of cold weather readiness. Four other soldiers also were injured in the blaze.
Four wrongful death suits from family members of soldiers killed in the fire were quickly dismissed by area courts. However, the lawsuit of Lt. Feress wife, Bernice, which claimed the two-story barracks was unsafe and the fire watch was inadequate, was appealed multiple times before it was combined with a pair of military medical malpractice suits, United States v. Griggs and Jefferson v. United States, at the Supreme Court.
On Dec. 4, 1950, the court ruled in Feres vs. United States that the government was not liable for the deaths, even in the cases of negligence, creating the legal precendent that stands to this day.
This sort of set a standard, said Elizabeth L. Hillman, a professor of law at the University of California Hastings College of the Law, San Francisco. It remains the centerpiece for the way the courts view these kinds of claims.
While supporters of the doctrine argue that the policy prevents lawsuits between service members that could hurt morale, and prevents second-guessing of decisions made by commanders in action in civilian courts, Ms. Hillman said the policy has drawn complaints that service members dont have the same rights as civilians in instances of negligence and removed the incentive for the military to improve safety.
In the past few years, the Supreme Court has declined to hear cases where the doctrine has been applied, such as Witt v. United States, in which Air Force Staff Sgt. Dean Witt was left in a vegetative state and later died after a failed appendectomy at a military hospital; and Purcell v. United States, following the suicide of sailor Christopher Purcell while in Navy custody.
Retired Army Col. Richard D. Rosen, a professor at the Texas Tech School of Law and director of its Center of Military Law, said the most likely way to change the policy would be through an act of Congress. He said a change to allow lawsuits for malpractice could lead the military to face millions of dollars in liabilities, but that total could be limited with caps on damages that could be awarded.
However, he noted that currently there is little momentum to make such a change.
Congress, you have to assume, is aware of this policy, and theyve never changed it, he said.

Can the BRICS Sink or Save Cuba?
Just as I was about to overlook news of the first visit to Cuba by an Indian Foreign Minister in nearly 25 years, during which it was agreed to "open new horizons" in the bilateral economic relationship, the following headline caught my eye: "Will the BRICS rescue Iran?" It's an interesting commentary that reflects on Iran's economic relationships over the last several decades and concludes not only will the BRICS not save Iran, but actually, one by one they seem to be abandoning ship.
If that is the case - that the tightened sanctions on Iran will eventually convince Iran to strike a real deal with the negotiating parties (who at the present moment are having a tough go of it), owing to the overwhelming nature of the economic sanctions, might we surmise that more pressure applied to Cuba could break that government's will as well?
I'm not so sure, as there are several key differences to consider. Foremost is of course the fact that Iran sanctions are increasingly multi-lateral, led by the U.S., while Cuba sanctions are essentially unilateral – America is the holdout, not the leader. I can't think of another country that actually has active economic sanctions in place against Cuba.
The other key difference is that while Cuba leaves a lot to be desired on the rights front from the perspective of many Western nations, it just isn't seen as a growing threat to global security. Speculation aside about what Fidel Castro knew about the assassination of JFK, or about a U.S. medicare fraud epidemic carried out by Cuban American immigrants funneling their booty back home to banks that ought to have at least noticed the large deposits, there's no smoking gun. Or, rather, there's no mushroom cloud. (And no, I've not forgotten the tiny matter of Cuba on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism, but for more than 15 years, State's justifications for keeping Cuba on the list hardly read like those of countries like Iran, Syria, or say, Ghaddafi's Libya, which came off the list in 2006.) Sadly, these days it seems to take a 'rogue' nuclear program to get the U.S. to the negotiating table.
The lack of the sort of security threat that would allow – and truly motivate – the U.S. to rally the world behind its Cuba sanctions means that while doing business in Cuba can be awfully inconvenient for the rest of the world (and that's without taking the country's own confusing, closed business environment into account), the community of nations can't be bullied over it. And in fact, for a good many nations, relations with Cuba is a badge that confirms it won't be bullied.
But it's not the same for the global private sector. Dutch bank ING just settled to the tune of $619 million with the U.S. Treasury Department over Cuban transactions it ran through U.S. banks until 2007, at which point it got out of Cuba altogether. And it joins a list of several other major global financial institutions for which doing business with Cuba is getting nearly impossible without heat from the U.S. The more banks the U.S. goes after for handling Cuban dollar deposits, the harder it gets for Cuba to conduct business with the rest of the world. And given the choice between doing business in Cuba over U.S. objections, and just losing Cuban business, a lot of banks will choose the latter.
Given the increased Cuba sanctions enforcement under the Obama administration – which has often been mischaracterized as offering nothing on Cuba but "unilateral concessions" (which include, essentially, the right of certain Americans to travel and give financial assistance to families and private businesses on the island) – for Cuba, courting economic powers like the BRICS is both symbolically and literally key during the difficult economic circumstances the island continues to face.
And for their part, the BRICS seem willing and interested to return the embrace, if not to go all 'Hugo Chavez' about it. Maybe they want to make a point about whether the United States should be able to single-handedly isolate a country economically (particularly one that has prioritized medical assistance around the globe) and in ways that impinge on other countries economic rights. Or, maybe they just mean to make a few strategic economic investments in what is, for the moment, an island nation of little obvious or immediate strategic importance, but could one day be an oil-producing shipping hub just a day's sail away from the world's biggest economy. Either way, don't look to the BRICS to save or sink Cuba.

Election Day in Afghanistan: Ballots, bullets and bombs
MARJAH, Afghanistan — "Look sharp, it's a big day for you guys," LtCol Kyle Ellison tells the Afghan Uniform Police (AUP) on the morning of parliamentary elections in Marjah. "No one gets in here without a detailed inspection."
Ellison points to the high school where Afghans will cast their ballots. The Marines have come to check the polling site before voting begins at 8 a.m. - and then they will leave.
"This is an exciting day, we've had over a 1,000 registered," says Ellison to the Chief Election Worker. "This is your day. I just wanted to stop by and say hello and make sure you didn't need anything from us. We'll get out of your way so you can help people to vote."
The Afghan National Army (ANA), the Afghan Uniform Police (AUP) and the Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCop) will run security for the elections. | Photo Gallery
In the high school, Afghans prepare the cardboard polling stations and set up the ballots. There are 53 candidates from Helmand province on the ballot.
As the Marines leave, the first voter enters the high school. After marking his ballot with a pen behind the stall, he places it in a secured plastic bin.
At the election worker's table, he dips his pinkie finger in ink so that he won't be able to vote again.
At 8 a.m., he is the only one here to vote, and there is no sign of other locals waiting to vote.
Reports indicate that more voters are gathered a quarter mile from the high school, at another poll near the bazaar.
Marines stop and talk with locals outside of the school. One man says he is headed to another village to vote.
"As long as you're voting," says Ellison.
Gunfire bursts about 400 meters from the high school. Two squads of Marines from the Police Mentoring Team and the Afghan police are receiving contact on their patrol north of the high school.
Despite the commotion, people are still on the road. Several nomads herding sheep pass the Marines. The Afghan says he'd vote, but he needs someone to watch his 100 sheep.
The Marines joke that they will watch his herd.
Ellison stops and talks with another man on a bicycle. He says he's not registered to vote.
"You should go over and talk to the voter guys," offers Ellison.
The man appears interested and goes along his way. Other locals along the way say they will vote after eating and working.
For the next two hours, the voting will continue without a U.S. military presence.
At the AUP station, a tip from locals inform the Marines that Taliban intend on attacking Forward Operating Base (FOB) Marjah.
A few hours later the Police Mentoring Team returns to the outside of the school with the Afghan Uniform Police. According to the Chief Election Worker there has been 27 voters so far.
"Voters were on their way here, but they heard the shooting and they left," says the Chief Election Worker.
Another one of the workers, leaning against the wall, says that he is not afraid of the Taliban.
Small arms fire and heavy machine gunfire sound and two RPGs boom.
Inside the school, workers gather to the window, watching for action. The Taliban are firing from positions from the northwest, southwest and the south.
Haji Bazgul, a powerful elder, comes to check in on the high school polling site. He says that voters are still standing in line at the bazaar undaunted, so far, by the firefight.
Outside the school, the dusty streets are becoming vacant.
"The shopkeepers weren't even at their shops," says Cpl Brandon Felicetty of the Police Mentoring Team after his patrol to the school. "That lets you know something is up or something is going to happen. It makes you want to stay alert, just making sure you're watching all angles."
Back at FOB Marjah, the base takes small arms fire. At about noon an rocket-propelled grenade is launched inside the base, exploding near a tent.
The two Marines inside the tent are unharmed.
All around the base, Marines don their Kevlar helmets and vests and take cover under concrete bunkers. As they talk about the day's events, Reaper Drones fly through the air launching hellfire missiles on two Taliban that were identified with large RPGs, which classifies them as people with hostile intent.
The Marines will do anything to minimize threat to civilian or friendly forces, and in this case had a clear shot at their enemy.
After a long day of gunfire and RPGs and voting, the sun begins to set and sounds of the fight dissipate.
The final voters turned out today in the 26 Marine Infantry Battalion's area of operation is estimated at 400.

San Francisco, CA — The San Francisco Film Society presents the fifth annual San Francisco International Animation Festival (SFIAF), a four-day celebration of the Bay Area's preeminence as a hub for one of the most creative forms in cinema, November 11—14 at Landmark's Embarcadero Center Cinema. This year's International Animation Festival ranges from FX-based features to family-friendly cartoons and includes Hayao Miyazaki protégé Sunao Katabuchi's Mai Mai Miracle, the Decemberists-inspired Here Come the Waves: The Hazards of Love Visualized, six wildly diverse shorts programs and a live animation and musical performance by artist duo Semiconductor.
"SFIAF explores the many forms of animation as both an artistic practice and a mode of production," said programmer Sean Uyehara. "Each year it's exciting to discover and present a range of work from established artists such as anime director Sunao Katabuchi and this year's Golden Gate Persistence of Vision Award recipient Don Hertzfeldt to works by emerging talents such as Brent Green and Skye Thorstensen to the unique work of the innovative duo Semiconductor."
For complete program information, visit sffs.org/Screenings-and-Events
Thursday, November 11 Opening Night
7:30 pm Here Come the Waves: The Hazards of Love Visualized
Peter Sluszka, Julia Pott, Guilherme Marcondes, Santa Maria (USA/England 2009)
One of the most acclaimed albums of 2009, the Decemberists' The Hazards of Love is an epic song cycle that the band has played to sold-out audiences all over the world. Inspired by the album's heft and range, four animators with widely different approaches have created original films that together visualize the album in its entirety. Each work in this four-part series bears a unique aesthetic approach to the material and, like the album itself, communicates the joys and sorrows of being open to the world. Each psychedelic section, with techniques ranging from stop motion to CGI to hand-drawn illustration, seamlessly and breathlessly explores themes of beauty, angst and foreboding. 60 min, Hornet Flux, Capitol Records.
9:00 pm Opening Night Party with Peruvian hors d'oeuvres, complimentary beverages and gorgeous waterfront views at La Mar CebicherÃa Peruana at Pier 1_ on the Embarcadero.
9:30 pm Jackboots on Whitehall North American Premiere
Edward McHenry, Rory McHenry (England 2010)
Some questions just need to be posed: Does God exist? Are we alone in the universe? Will Lindsay Lohan ever pass a drug test? Yes, these are the conundrums that puzzle mankind. Still, perhaps no query is more urgent than this one: What would have happened if the Nazis had invaded England and occupied Buckingham Palace? Fortunately, this audacious puppet farce–made in glorious Panzervision–has arrived to satisfy our burning curiosity. Towering figures from the WWII era–Himmler, Goering, Goebbels, Churchill and, oh yes, Hitler–are all on hand to lend this highly imaginative film an air of authenticity. Voiced by notables such as Ewan McGregor, Alan Cumming, Richard E. Grant and Tom Wilkinson and employing a painstaking fusion of puppetry and CGI, Jackboots on Whitehall makes an absurd–and brilliant–statement. Written by Edward McHenry, Rory McHenry. Photographed by Michael Connor. With Ewan McGregor, Tom Wilkinson, Alan Cumming, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant. 78 min, Media 8 Entertainment.
Friday, November 12

12:00 pm Mai Mai Miracle
Sunao Katabuchi (Mai Mai Shinko to sennen no maho, Japan, 2009)
A story about two teenage girls, Mai Mai Miracle delicately captures the strange wonder that accompanies one's transition into adulthood. A protégé of Hayao Miyazaki and assistant director on Kiki's Delivery Service, Sunao Katabuchi strongly echoes his mentor in this finely crafted anime. Third grader Mai Mai passes time in her small town daydreaming about the world a thousand years before. She has an imaginary friend there–Nagiko–who introduces her to a simple daily life. When a shy newcomer named Kiiko arrives in Mai Mai's town and joins her class, Mai Mai tries in vain to befriend her. Eventually, the girls develop a bond and set off on a number of adventures, one that may even transport them back in time to help Nagiko. Written by Sunao Kutabuchi. Photographed by Yukihiro Masumoto. With Mayuko Fukuda, Nako Mizusawa, Ei Morisako, Manami Honjo. 95 min, Shochiku. Recommended for ages eight and up.

Director in person
Brent Green (USA 2009)
From the unlikeliest of true stories comes this staggering, emotional achievement by Brent Green. Leonard tried to save the love of his life from cancer by building a home that stretched toward the heavens. In homage to Leonard, director Brent Green rebuilt the structure to scale in his own backyard and employed it as a set for the creation of this singular live action/animation hybrid film. Green recounts the love story as an ode to Leonard and as an inquiry into the source of faith, hope and redemption. While Green pays homage to Leonard's hopeful quest, his ultimate reverence is reserved for the visionary art that Leonard left behind. Written by Brent Green, Donna K., Michael McGinley. Photographed by Brent Green, Jem Cohen, Pete Sillen, Jake Sillen, Holli Hopkins, Donna K. With Michael McGinley, Donna K. 80 min, Nervous Films.

The diversity of its landscapes, its treasures and its topography make the Imouzzer region a fantastic area for walking and outdoor sports.
To reach Imouzzer from Agadir, just follow the Atlantic coast along the beautiful road from Cape Ghir. The strip of sand is soon replaced by luxuriant vegetation. In Tamraght, the profusion of banana groves astonishes visitors. Small and very sweet, the bananas can be bought at the roadside. Before taking the mountain path in Amesnaz, you must visit Taghazout, a famous surf spot, and the lighthouse on Cape Ghir. There's no need for a 4x4! Take the Oulma road and cross the Asif Tamraght gorge before entering Paradise Valley. Dwarf palm trees, argan trees which only grow in the part of Morocco, waterfalls crashing onto many different levels of rock, boulders in strange-looking shapes... You will have that incomparable feeling of being somewhere completely different.
This takes place at the beginning of May in Imouzzer. Its thyme and wild lavender honey is unique. A mixture of almonds and argan oil, it gives us amlou, a succulent traditional dish from the Souss region.
On foot or by mule, these are suitable for all levels. They almost all involve a refreshing stop at the natural pools of Assif Tamraght and the many-leveled waterfall of the "Bridal Veil", so-called because of its walls whitened by limestone. Also take a detour via the caves in the village of Assif El Had. These trips make it possible to meet inhabitants and to visit many Berber villages (Aziar, Taba, Igui nŌĆÖTaguast, etc.). This is an opportunity to admire the work pottery, rug-weaving and sculpture craft studios. In this bee-keeping region, it is also possible to come across honey as well as argan cooperatives. Further south, on the Atlantic coast, the Souss Massa national park provides an opportunity to observe a multitude of birds such as bald ibises, an endangered species whose last colonies live here. A reintroduction program has meant the return of gazelles, ostriches and antelopes.
Activities like mountain-biking, riding and potholing are being developed. For potholing, the impressive Wintimdouine caves, south of Imouzzer, are the largest in Morocco (18km long!). Protected from the north winds, Taghazout is a famous surfing spot. The town is in the process of becoming a very popular beach resort with an intimate aspect all of its own.
The profusion of nature provides a thousand opportunities to discover the region, on foot, on horseback or by bike.

I'm so happy you're considering Hannah again! I love it for you. Hannah Caroline is my preferred combo, but Hannah Caroline Jane or Hannah Jane Caroline might be nice if you want to keep Jane.
And I just adore Grace Caroline, as well--on the one hand, my OCD says don't do it!!!! haha, but if it doesn't bother any of you and Emma likes the connection, why not? She'd have to stop going by Emma-Grace occasionally, though--I think Emma-Grace and Grace/Gracie would be a bit confusing. Honestly, Grace Caroline is my favorite combo, and I would love to meet another Grace, it's just so beautiful. But I adore Hannah Caroline nearly as much. I don't think you could go wrong with either, and Caroline is such a pretty mn.
Good luck!Ashley

About Author
by Jaya Saxena and Matt Lubchansky
Jaya Saxena is a New Yorker who writes for lots of things. Uncommon Courtesy, New Amsterdam Mystery Company, and The Toast are some of them. Follow her on Twitter @jayasax. Matt Lubchansky makes comics and occasionally leaves his apartment in New York. His work includes Please Listen to Me and New Amsterdam Mystery Company. He's on Twitter, and doesn't expect you to get his name right.
Everything about this is perfect. His apron is super accurate and he is holding a fine, well-chosen steak.
Embroidered polos must be for fancy dads; my dad is at free promotional t-shirt level.
(Edited b/c not Jaya's dad, apparently)
Well-chosen steak! I am more and more convinced that my boyfriend was meant to be a dad. Tevas, fanny pack for camping and day hikes, and an uncanny ability to choose the best cut of meat for the circumstances.
Gurl, that's not a steak, that's a chicken leg with part of the chicken still attached.
And my dad is in the promotional embroidered polo/golf shirt phase. Is there a dad shirt continuum?
aww man, it's been too long since I've seen uncooked meat.
(wait, that sounds dirty. I'm married to a vegetarian, you guys)
S. Pebbletush
My dad moved past that phase into "Whaddaya want me to wear? I like this, it's a classic!" That "classic" piece is a wool Brooks Brothers sweater that is older than I am and has holes in the elbows from our family's weird "no matter how chubby or skinny or ripped we are, we have insanely sharp elbows" gene.
Please note: he is wearing this sweater in many of my baby pictures. I have recently graduated from law school.
Right? I'm like, "What polos?" We're lucky if we can get my dad to wear a shirt at all, much less one with sleeves.
10000 buckets
As soon as my dad retired, he began a second career as Sweatshirt Guy. His powers include wearing sweatshirts and baseball caps at all times, tucking his sweatpants into his socks (their house is COLD!), and the ability to maintain an endless supply of exotic beers.
I'm just saying, I could get behind that last superpower, if he's willing to share.
Yes, free promotional t-shirts that his adult daughters got that were too big for them. And then he'll coordinate which free t-shirt he'll wear based on which one of us he is seeing in person. "Did you notice my 2006 Friends of the Library Book Sale shirt, fictitious?" DADS.
"Relive your punk-rock youth with mismatched socks"
Stick It To The (Laundry) Man!
(I actually just think he does it to annoy mum)
'Is your sneeze terrifying enough?" has been making me laugh for the last 15 minutes, because my dad's sneeze could wake the dead. We've made him warn us (when he can) before it happens, because otherwise we jump out of our skins. I had no idea that was actually a "Dad" thing and that makes me weirdly happy for some reason. Oh, dads…
It's totally a dad thing! You could hear my dad's yell-sneeze from across the house. The scary part is lately I've started to sound more like him
I try to hold my own sneezes because I'm worried I'll sound like my dad's. His are DEAFENING.
My mom yells at my dad for scaring the cats when he sneezes. I have also recently started to sound like him and I know what he says is true–you can't control it!
My dad is the opposite – he tries to hold it in and I worry he's going to burst a blood vessel or have an aneurysm or something
My dad is also the opposite of this. He is a sneezer of tidy little, almost-silent sneezes, and a vocal advocate of this method. Relatedly, he is a disparager of sneezers who phonate. I'm pretty sure that a solid 5% of what he said to my brother and me before we left for college was some (annoyed) variation of "You know, you don't need your vocal chords to sneeze." Yes, Dad. We well and truly know by now.
yes, but to be fair, translated from Dad language that sneeze criticism is a deep and heartfelt expression of love. ;)
Both my dad and my husband sneeze like a small offshore oil rig exploding.
My husband sneezes at normal volume, but never just sneezes once. It's always three times, which drives me irrationally crazy. So we just had a baby daughter. GUESS HOW MANY TIMES SHE SNEEZES.
The two of them will be the death of me.
My fiance and I agree that I will be the one to dad-sneeze in our house. His family has no dad sneezers, mine has everyone, and I already dad-sneeze regularly whilst being neither a parent nor a guy.
Haha I apologize guys but this is actually not my dad! THOUGH, if you wanna see my dad, please check out this dude in the mustache and vest second from the left. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=410046439…

Post-Labor Day Grilling: Why A Little Blizzard Never Stopped Anyone (Inside: Your Month-By-Month Guide to Grilling In The Elements!)
My dad has proudly grilled the Thanksgiving turkey for the past 30 years. He even has a special hook to lift the turkey onto and off the grill. (WEBER ONLY, gas grills are for suckers.)
Get him the Big Green Egg. That grill. Sigh. (it's a thing of beauty, but crazy expensive)
I think my dad would grill our turkey if my mom let him get away with it. At least he's not deep-frying it?
The first snow of the year is always met with burgers and dogs on the grill. Wait – that's *not* how everyone else's family does it?
One of my favorite parts of Christmas is my dad and my partner huddling outside, frying bacon on the gas grill burner (&/or camp stove, when it is too cold for the grill to light properly) for Christmas morning breakfast. This method was invented several years back to save the vegetarian contingent from having to put up with bacon-smell. Also because they really enjoy it.
My dad's sneeze is the loudest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. He actually makes a cartoon "A-CHOOOOOOO!" sound, but like 175 decibels.
My dad's is more like "HRWHHHAFSH!" Kind of how a 400-foot-tall cat would sneeze.
S. Pebbletush
My dad's is a "HAAAAAAAAAA-GNSHRKNCK" that has scared the dog SO MANY TIMES.
Matt Lubchansky
My father once sneezed in the basement of our house and it woke me up, on the second floor.
My sneeze gets louder every year.
My dad never sneezes multiple times. It's always once* and it sounds kind of like 'ye-SCHEEE!!!" and it comes with this flailing upward arm motion that implies he was trying to muffle the sneeze with his upper arm and shoulder, but never made it.
*unless he's sick; then it's a horrifying series of his regular sneeze in multiples, followed by theatrical sniffling and then honking loud nose-blowing. Dad Theater, now showing Melodramatic Bodily Functions, evenings and matinees…

On a more somber note, my dad passed away suddenly a few weeks ago. He was absurdly healthy and the last person I thought I'd lose. Please call your dads and tell them how much you love them – white socks, horrifying sneezes and all!
Ashley L
Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear that. Love and peace to you, and your family. Dad sneezes are precious.
Oof, honey, that is so unbelievably hard and I'm so sorry. Dads are the best and my heart hurts for your loss. I will definitely hug my dad extra this weekend.
Darlin I'm so sorry for your loss. I really should figure out how to use the goddamn Skype.
I'm so sorry. (And feeling glad I called home just last night.) <333
So sorry to hear that. I lost my dad (also pretty suddenly) in 2010. These posts are kind of bittersweet for me– they make me a bit jealous of everyone who still has a dad in their life, but also a very warm fuzzy feeling thinking of my dad and all the funny, awesome dads.

My dad gave me many years ago, as a present, an alarm clock/radio that is supposed to sync via radio link with the official atomic clock from the National Institute of Standards and Technology so that you always know the correct time down to the millisecond. In this clock's old age, it has started to be weirdly and unpredictably off by, like, 47 minutes here, or an hour and 20 minutes there. I think if I told my dad, he might never recover from the disappointment.
I am the horribly loud sneezer in our family, so I guess come April I will be the loudly sneezing Mom. My husband is horrified by my sneezes which are ALMOST (but not quite) as loud as my father's. My husband will be our family's dainty sneezer.
My dad yells "Oh no!" between his terrifying sneezes. Are you having a conversation somewhere across the room? Somewhere across the house? Guess what, now you're listening to terrifying sneezes.
Always, always wonderful.
I never knew that Dad-Sneezes were such a thing! I remember rushing out of my bedroom once because I heard my dad YELL from downstairs and I thought something had fallen on him. It was just a sneeze.
He told me once that he had to be quiet and proper at his office job all day so sneezed especially loud at home where it didn't matter.
Longtime 'Pin and Toast lurker here. Finally created an account just so I can talk about Dad sneezes.
My Grandpa used to sneeze shockingly loudly, but the bigger hit with us grandkids was that when he blew his nose, it would honk like a freight train. My dad (his son) had the same phenomenon, so that is like Dadness multiplied exponentially.
JUST THIS MORNING before leaving for the bus back to Mexico my dad made a comment about how great early morning is. I think I grumbled something unintelligible into my cereal.
I always forward Dad Magazine on to my entire family as soon as it is posted, but that's starting to backfire on me. Ever since I sent him the last issue, my dad has started incorporating Patton facts into daily conversation.
This is delightful.

China To Build 3rd Station In Antarctica
China plans to invest some 500 million yuan (about $60 million US) to improve Polar research facilities in the next three years to prepare for the building of a third station on Antarctica, according to an official with the Polar Research Office of the State Oceanic Administration.
The projects on the agenda include rebuilding the two existing scientific research stations in South Pole, the Changcheng Great Wall Station and the Zhongshan (Dr. Sun Yat-sen) Station, restructuring China's polar expedition ship Xuelong (Snow Dragon) and upgrading the China Polar Research Center in Shanghai.
"All these measures will set a strong foundation for the construction of the third research station on Antarctica during the 11th five-year-plan period (2006-2010)," said Wei Wenliang, head of the office.
According to the plan, China's third research station on Antarctica will be built at the highest point of the Polar icecap, which peaks 4,300 meters above sea level, a point known as Doma A. This will a be the first research station in the inland area of Antarctica, acknowledged Wei.
Changcheng Station was founded in 1985 and the Zhongshan Station in 1989, both within the outer region of Antarctica coastline.
Wei said that because of technological limitations in the 1980s, the construction material for the two stations was not satisfactory and parts of the building has been corroded.
All buildings in the two stations will be rebuilt except one or two left for commemoration.
The reconstruction of Xuelong is expected to be launched in May or June next year and will be completed by August 2006.
After the rebuilding, Xuelong will have an increased laboratory area of 300 square meters, and its capacity for scientific research, automation safety and living conditions will all be greatly improved. By then, the ship could meet the demand of research in another 10-15 years.
Currently, noted Wei, the preparation for Xuelong's restructuring is smoothly underway.
Wei also said China will launch its 21st Antarctic expedition on Oct. 25 this year, targeting the Doma A for the first time. During the 150-day expedition, a team of 12 scientists and journalists will set up climate observation and environment monitoring equipment on the Dome A for collecting first-hand information for the building of the new station.
Since China inaugurated its first Antarctic research station, Changcheng, about two decades ago, the country has launched an Antarctic expedition every year.
During the past 20 years, China has invested a total of 900 million yuan (some 110 million US dollars) in the South Pole Research and achieved great progress in polar climate and weather, glaciers, bio-resources, oceanic chemistry and physics, especially in the field of polar aerolite, where China's research level ranks with the United States and Japan.
Currently, 47 countries have signed the Antarctic Treaty and 28 have set up research stations on the Antarctica. Countries that want to build research stations in the region must pass strict environmental protection checks.

We are UW Formula Motorsports
We design, build, test and race small formula-style race cars. We do our own engineering, our own machining and make our own carbon fiber parts. We find our own sponsorship, manage our own resources and conduct our own public relations. Our drivers are all students and we maintain our own cars. We design. We build. We compete.
There are many learning opportunities as a member of the team; you will have the chance to gain experience in design, manufacturing, testing, research, fundraising, management and more. With these experiences, you will be far ahead of your peers in engineering when you graduate. We welcome all students from across the campus.
We are a team of individuals, you will be responsible for your commitment, but there will be plenty of help along the way. As a team, we win together and we fail together. Do you have what it takes?
For more than 30 years, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has held an annual competition known as Formula SAE. The goal is to design and build a formula-style racing car, and then compete against similar race cars from all over the world. A Formula SAE car weighs 400 to 500 lbs, with horsepower figures ranging from 50-90 hp. With a 0 to 60 mph time in the 3-4 second range, lateral acceleration of up to 2.0 g and a 60 to 0 braking distance of about 115 ft, an FSAE car will leave most production streetcars in the dust.
The students take the role of being part of a manufacturing firm that must produce 4 racecars a day. The car is to be designed for the weekend autocross racer. This car must have excellent handling, braking, and acceleration capabilities. However, sheer performance is not the only goal. The car must be affordable, easy to maintain, and reliable. Additionally, ergonomics and aesthetics must be addressed. Surely with enough money any car can satisfy these requirements. But the Formula SAE competition requires that the maximum cost of the prototype car cannot exceed $25,000. At the competition, each team is judged in several events, including a cost analysis, business presentation, engineering design, and various dynamic performance trials. A panel of judges from the automotive and motorsports industry comes from all over the world for this annual event. The majority of the points earned in the competition come from the dynamic events including a grueling 13 mile endurance event.
2014 is the 26th year that the University of Washington has competed in Formula SAE. Team 26 operates under four goals:
1. To produce world-class engineers through a commitment to learning and innovation
2. To justify design decisions through engineering methods and validate simulation with physical testing
3. To design, build, test, and tune two cars to maximize points at all events at competition.
4. To improve future performance through thorough documentation of all technical and administrative work.
In 2013, the UW Formula Motorsports Team made its way back to the Germany competition. This time the UW team placed 7th overall in the Formula Student Germany competition. In addition to Germany, the UW team competed in Lincoln, Nebraska and took 1st in combustion and 2nd overall in electric.
In 2012, for the first time in UW Formula Motorsports history, we competed overseas in Europe for Formula Student Germany at the Hockenheimring. Formula Student Germany draws the best teams from around the world, and the opportunity to compete there marks the next step in the growth of the UW Formula Motorsports team.
2012 also marked the beginning of development of an electric car. It was the first year that an electric vehicle competition ran in parallel with the combustion competition in the United States. Formula Student Germany has had an electric competition for a few years now, but now we have the opportunity to compete here in the US as well.

(Mar 02, 2008) The Tel Aviv Yafo district court rejected an appeal against a decision by the Income Tax Authority of Israel not to recognize as a legitimate expense bribes paid to foreign officials to facilitate a business transaction in a foreign country. The appellant, an Israeli company, claimed that the amounts paid as the bribes should be recognized as an expenditure incurred in order to obtain taxable income.
In rejecting the appeal, the court held that recognizing payment of bribes as an expense for tax purposes contradicts the moral base that authorizes the legislator to impose tax. Permitting bribes as expenditures establishes legitimacy for corrupted and corrupting regimes that harm the economic relationship of countries in the world, even if done outside of Israel. The court rejected the claim that by not allowing the deductions, the company was subjected to discrimination as compared with foreign beneficiaries. The court held that if bribes could be deducted, taxpayers would in effect become party to the activities and that a tax system that aspires to be enlightened cannot transform its citizens into partners in such acts, even if the latter do not constitute an offense if conducted outside the state's borders.
