End of Summer, Feed Is Working Again, and The French Revolution
It's the unofficial end of Summer and it's my annual gratuitous post of myself day. The pic below was taken in mid-July, but I waited to fix the feed to The American Catholic in order celebrate the Summer. Needless to say, it's fixed and the Summer is almost over.
During the Summer I asked my fellow blogger Don for some book recommendations for the French Revolution. Of the few he did mentioned, I picked up Simon Schama's 'Citizen'. The reading is in-depth, interesting, and balanced. I'm a bit over halfway finished of the 948 pages and am so far impressed. Considering that we are in the post-Cold War era, I wanted to know a bit more on the French Revolution since their errors have already engulfed Europe and has almost metastasizing here in the United States. The book is good and if there is any criticism of Simon Schama's work it's that he views Christianity, in particular the Catholic Church, through a materialistic lens.
My opinion on the subject is that the French Revolution is the confluence of anti-Christian ideas emanating from the so-called era of enlightenment. These very same ideas unleashed the short-term devastation of the rape of nuns, the execution of priests, and the degradation of houses of worship. The long-term affects have furthered the cause of eliminating God from all aspects of life blossoming further in the Communist Revolution in Russia and continued to bear the fruit of death in World Wars I & II. From this compost grew what we now call modern liberalism & democratic socialism.
Obama Omits Creator From The Preamble of The Declaration of Independence
Jason McNew of the American Thinker wrote it better than I could:
Friday evening President Obama addressed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. At around 22:30, he incorporates part of the preamble of The Declaration of Independence, removing "Creator".
"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal….. endowed with certain unalienable rights, life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"
After President Obama says "created equal…", there is a long pause during which he scowls and blinks several times. For once, he may actually have opted to not read something that was on the teleprompter. Is looks like he is disgusted and decided it would be better not to read what the preamble actually says.
President Obama, if our Creator is not the purveyor of our human rights, then who is? The government?

Geithner unveils his true agenda: Infinite debt means infinite economic enslavement of America
by Mike Adams
Wednesday, November 21, 2012
Those pesky debt ceilings are just never high enough. Not $10 trillion, nor $14 trillion or even $18 trillion. The problem with debt ceilings is that, in a nation of runaway, criminally insane debt multiplication, debt ceilings keep getting in the way of what the globalist banksters really want: INFINITE debt!
Those are the words of U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner who said on Bloomberg TV, "We ought to just eliminate the debt ceiling."
Infinite debt equals infinite spending.
Infinite debt also equals infinite enslavement, and that's the point of it all. Every dollar created by the Fed and loaned to the U.S. Treasury is another dollar for which American taxpayers are placed in hock to the global banksters.
Infinite government growth

Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon is keeping himself busy in Hollywood! Today, it was announced that Disney grabbed the rights to the upcoming film Ground Control to Major Tom, which Gordon will most likely direct.
Disney has won the rights to the comedy over many other studios who pursued the script. The title references a classic David Bowie song titled "Space Oddity," but it's unclear how it will fit with the script, as all plot aspects remain a secret.
Michael De Luca is set to produce the film, with Gordon also being the executive producer.
What do you think of the upcoming film? Any ideas on a plot line?
Thanks to Deadline for the tip.

Rihanna: Good Wardrobe Gone Bad
Why in the world does Rihanna insist on dressing in such strangely complicated outfits?
She's a beautiful girl, with an equally beautiful boyfriend. And yet she chose to rock this combo of hat, vest and frilly-skirt at her recent performance on The Today Show Concert Series at Rockefeller Plaza.
To be fair, we have seen far more disturbing.
There is a time for youthful experimentation, but dressing like a retired French soldier turned cruise-ship entertainer is not a look she should strive to convey.

All Black flyhalf Dan Carter says seeing his Crusaders in action in Super Rugby makes him want to return to the field as quickly as possible, but he knows his sabbatical from the game will be for the best in the long run.
The World Cup winning No10 spoke exclusively to The Star after he had kicked off MasterCard's worldwide partnership with Rugby World Cup 2015 in London.
Regarded by many as the world's leading player, Carter hasn't featured for his beloved Crusaders team this season after taking a seven-month sabbatical from the game to recharge and refresh ahead of the All Blacks' defence of their World Cup crown next year. He says sitting on the sidelines has been tough at times, but it's for the best.
"Every time I watch the Crusaders run out I wish I was there. But with the injuries I've had in recent times my mind and body needed a break," he said. "I think in the long run the benefits will be there for all to see."
Carter last played during the November Tests in the northern hemisphere and will return to the playing field after the June Test window. It means he'll miss the All Blacks' Test series against England but feature for the Crusaders in the latter stages of Super Rugby. He'll also play in the Rugby Championship, featuring New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and Argentina, and then build towards World Cup 2015.
In his time away from the game, Carter has whizzed around the world, attending Oscar awards parties, the Australian Grand Prix and the Masters golf tournament last weekend in Augusta, Georgia.
"I've been playing international rugby for 11 years so it's important to have time off as well. I've experienced a lot of new things in the last few months which have been priceless and I know I'll be fresher when I return to the field." Carter previously stated that his sabbatical from the game would add an extra two years to his career, one he hopes takes him to the 2017 British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand.
The 32-year-old said that once he's back on the rugby field later this year he'll put all his energy into helping the All Blacks defend their World Cup title in England. Let us not forget that Carter missed the latter stages of the 2011 tournament after picking up an injury early on so he'll be very keen to make a big impression.
"I'm having my time off now. When I return we'll have 14 months to the next World Cup, so I'll have a full season next year to build towards the tournament. As a team we'll need to get some momentum behind us."
Carter admitted he hasn't watched much Super Rugby this year, but has kept an eye on his Canterbury-based side. "They struggled a bit against the other New Zealand teams, but that's the Crusaders for you – it's standard practice, starting slowly. But they picked up two good wins in South Africa and will have some momentum behind them now." - The Star

Driving your vehicle with an obstructed view is both illegal and dangerous. If you have your car so loaded that you can't see out the rear and side windows, you could be placing yourself and others in harms way.
Some cars and trucks are so loaded with kids, moving boxes, and junk that the driver cannot see properly. If the driver gets into an accident, he or she could be charged with criminal penalties and face civil penalties as well. It's never a good idea to drive when you can't see out the car windows.
If you are moving, or some other activity that requires carrying many belongings in your car, make sure you can see properly. You should at least be able to see all of your mirrors, see out the rear window, and see out the passenger side front and rear windows. When stacking boxes in the car, remember to leave room for visibility once the doors are closed.
Sometimes drivers will overload their cars with passengers instead of boxes. It is also illegal to have so many people in the car that it obstructs your view and your ability to drive. If you are going to an event that involves a large number of people, you should take two cars or rent a van large enough to transport everyone safely. You cannot depend on your passengers to move their heads in time for you to see oncoming cars.
If you are pulled over for driving a car that is overloaded, you will receive a ticket and have points added to your license. You could receive fines up to $1000 for each offense. It would be much cheaper to rent a moving van than it would be to pay the fines for overloading your car. Weigh your options before packing your car full of boxes.
When in doubt, it is always best to err on the side of caution. If you can't see out every window, and see all mirrors, then you are probably overloaded.

I'm in the beginning development of a site and running into a problem with links. I'd like all links within text areas to get a bottom border when you mouse over them. I thought I was setting it up correctly, and it seems towork in all Mac based browsers, but when I checked on IE7 on a PC (this is the only version of IE I have access to), it doesn't work. I'd like to be able to use this link style in any text throughout the site, and have it maintain the font properties, changing only the color and add a bottom border on hover.
I have another type of link called "more" which also specifies a bottom border and it does work in IE7.
Here's that section of the CSS:
a{ color: #d06b63;}
a:hover { border-bottom:solid 1px #d06b63;}
a.more { font-size: 9px; font-weight: bold; text-transform:uppercase;}
a.more:hover { border-bottom: solid 1px #d06b63;}
/*===Links end===*/
Here's the link to the page:http://www.laurafigdesign.com/nbcaf/sub_template.html
Any suggestion on how to get the bottom border to show in IE7?
its not border-bottom style, rather use text-decoration: underline
Thanks, but I purposely used bottom-border instead of text-decoration. It gives more control over the styling and looks a bit nicer. I figure text-decoration a back-up solution, but I wondered if there might be another.
Hey LauraFig, I think the problem may be in the order you are declaring your pseudo class. Instead of just declaring a{color: #d06b63;}try adding a:link {color:#d06b63;} /* unvisited link */a:visited {color:#d06b63;} /* visited link */a:hover {color:#do6b63; border-bottom:solid 1px #d06b63;} /* mouse over link */a:active {color:#do6b63;} /* selected link */This may solve the issue, if not I would use an alternate style sheet for IE 7or less<!--[if lt IE 8]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie7-and-down.css" /> <![endif]-->Then you could use text-decoration: underline as a fall back only on these browsers and everyone else will see your true design
Hope this helps
Thanks very much for your reply. Since I didn't get any additional responses earlier, I tried another forum and got the following solution:* + html a { border-bottom: 1px transparent solid; display: inline-block; vertical-align: bottom;}
As far as I can tell, it seems to be working.
Again, thanks for your thoughts and I'll keep this in mind in case the first solution fails.

"Almost Famous" Director Cameron Crowe Shares His Memories Of Philip Seymour Hoffman And Now I'm Bummed Out
"He sat down and we talked about the meaning of the script and the commercialization of music and movies. And that's where we bonded a bit. When he drove to the office, he'd seen a director on a billboard doing an endorsement for a product. So he referenced that as "the line is blurry now." In the time of the script, musicians didn't do commercials. The lines were clearly drawn. And he was very interested in exploring what that line was."
Director Cameron Crowe spoke to Rolling Stone about Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Almost Famous," in which he played the cranky rock music journalist Lester Bangs. He detailed Hoffman's ability to pick up on so many nuances of Lester's personality and discussed that much-loved scene when he and Patrick Fugit's character bond over how uncool they are:
"I remember going for a walk afterwards and just being really surprised that the scene became a soul bonding. It was the ache and private glory of those two guys and the fact that Lester was going to give this kid some advice and yet they were brothers. Phil captured that. It wasn't just a mentor and a young student. It was two guys alone in the world sharing their deepest feelings. That was a side of Lester I couldn't believe I was seeing when I saw it. … He wasn't yearning for a ton of feedback between every take. He set a course and was cutting through the water. You were just thrilled to watch him go."
It's nice to come across a positive memory shared of the actor as opposed to gruesome details about the end of his life. [Huffington Post]

It is my first Archos product, and the first tablet I will have actual hands on with. Once the battery is done charging and I have played with it for a while I will post an opinion/review of the product. I don't see much about this product on forums? does anyone else own one?

" ITV2 / Reality Show "
I can't make my mind up with Katie and Peter most of the time but I have to say their tv programme is my guilty pleasure. I don't know what it is but for me I have to watch it. I love to see what Katie is spending her money on and love to see Pete moaning about something even though he has little to moan about. It is simply one of those programmes that you have to watch to try and figure out exactly what the truth is but I am sure that they are now pros at making you believe what they want you to. Even since the split watching their separate programmes I still think that they should be together as I can't stand watching them bitching about each other. It is good to see how people with that much money cope with day to day life and reassruing to knw that oney dsoesn't bring happiness and that it doesn't matter how much money you have their is always something wrong
Whatever you may think about Katie Price (a model and author) and Peter Andre (Pop singer), this series is an interesting insight into the former couple's life and relationships.
The show is aired on ITV2 and although the series has now ended it is often repeated on the channel.
The show is a reality programme which aims to document the couple's life on a daily basis. Whilst it is not clear as to whether the programme makers were under instruction to make the couple look as good as possible, or whether it truly was a 'warts and all' programe - it still makes for interesting viewing.
This series enables the viewer to see inside Katie and Peter's family home, on tour, on modelling shoots and to see how they interact with their children, family and the media.
What is so interesting about this series is that the demise of Katie and Peter's relationship is increasingly apparent. Katie and Peter are frequently seen arguing and the tension is evident. Shortly after this series finished, the couple ended their relationship.
Katie is portrayed in this series as a moaning, bossy individual who gives her husband Peter a hard time throughout. Peter is seen as a man trying to make his wife happy and receiving constant rejection and bitterness from Jordan. When the marriage ended, it is likely as a result of her behaviour during this series, which led to the public backlash. People wondered why Katie had not treated Peter with more love and respect and why he had put up with her for so long.
Despite the split, this series is still endering to watch as the couple clearly had a bond together due to their 3 children (two of them who are biologically Peter's). They also remind us that couple's do argue and do have to work at a relationship.
The couple's 3 children are present throughout filming of this series, which could be a criticism of the show - as is it right to drag young children into a reality show which shows them and their family in all their glory to millions of people?
An interesting and addictive programme
I have just reviewed Kerry Katona-Crazy In Love, a show which I absolutely hated so I thought I would review a reality show that I loved. I say loved in past tense because now they have split up the show will be no more, and even though they have both already got their own shows out (Peter:The Next Chapter and What Katie did Next) it will never be the same because what worked so well was the two of them together.
Katie and Peter first met on another reality show I'm a Celebrity Get me out of here in 2004. At first everyone was sceptical of their relationship and thought it was just a publicity stunt. However when just one year on they had a baby and got married it was clear this was about love. Cashing in on the nations obsession with the pair was just a clever business decision on their part. Something they must have decided on early in their relationship because it was not long before ITV2 was following their every movement. Over the years we saw them have baby Junior, get married, have a miscarriage, have baby Princess and re-new their wedding vows just last year.
The show basically follows around Katie, Peter, Harvey, Junior and Princess through their daily life, with holidays being a regular feature. The most recent and last series focused on their three month move to L.A. in which we see the bickering turning into arguing and the couples straining relationship clear for everyone to see. After watching this and the way Katie started treating Pete it was not suprising they split up.
I really enjoyed watching all of the series of this program, they were such a loverly couple and had an exciting life which was great to watch. I can't be alone in thinking this as the show is one of ITV2's most popular shows and the interest in them must be great otherwise they wouldn't now have their own shows for the channel.
It is such a shame the couple split and the show has ended.
This is a program about a family of five (Katie, Peter, Princess, Harvey and Junior) who get filmed 24/7 by cameras and they follow them throughout their busy lives. It follows them on interviwes, road trips, meetings and shows them looking after and caring for their children. There are, however, lots of graphical details and shows the couple and their sexual nature which can be in appropriate to young viewers (probably tweleve and under). It shows how the couple are dedicated to their family but also to their careers and their private lives. It shows their ups and downs and it proves how they are like the rest of us and just a normal family deep down. It also goes into depth about harvey's condition and how it is a struggle to care for him and his brother and his sister while still giving him the attention he needs. It is a really good program and interesting to have an insight on how fame affects your life and affects your family's lives too.
Put two attention seeking minor celebrities together, allow them to marry under the pretence that they love each other and then film every single thing they do.
This is the idea of Katie and Peter the next chapter, following the lives of the devoted Katie Price and Peter Andre as they attempt to become more famous for having a reality television show about wanting to be famous.
The show follows the couple in their everyday life and is way too graphic, the children are allowed in front of the cameras and we hear way too much personal information. The show is on ITV2 and it is a good channel to have it on so that too manty people don't see this.
Price comes across as quite a nasty person on the show, she is obviously a very bright woman for the career she has created and the money she has made but she comes across as a rude money obsessed person with few social skills, whether this is the real her or a screen persona is hard to tell and thats what makes the show even more annoying, whats real and whats set up for the cameras? Andre comes across as a man who got lucky but wishes he hadn't a man belittled for being himself, but to be fair he comes across as a much nicer person and is likely to use this to his advantage in their forthcoming divorce.
The show is nasty and desperate and is cheap television aimed to titilate for people who think their lives should be like this. Its not a programme I have enjoyed or will ever in the future, but having seen it a few times its easy to see why the couple have decided they shouldn't be together.
The show is put together and is part reality and part script, its sad indictment of modern life in every sense.
At first when i heard about the programme i wasent so sure as ive never been keen on peter aundre niether katie untill i read her first book and really got to like her.
I missed a few of the series and every one told me it was great so i logged on to itv catch up and watched them and i found i was hooked and never missed an episode.
What is it about???Its basiclly about there family of 5 getting filmed 24/7 but only shows the best parts and rarley shows the bad parts.It shows you thorugh her pregnancies,holidays,family times,there wedding.
I love to watch it as i find katie so genuine and is not bothered about being followed bye the camera crew but i find pete is not so genuine and plays him self around the camera a little ive noticed he acts like the perect husband and ive figured why katie gets so annoyed and they argue alot is because of this and pete is not prefect and it obviosly annoys her when he does it in front of the cameras.
There three children are in it to and you get to see how they live pretty good actually katie must have a hard time looking afer her children as harvery is blind and partially death poor kid.
But i must say they are pretty lazey as when they was moving house they barel done anything pete just sat there singing whilst ever one else was hurrying around but i suppose with that amount of money they can do what ever.
I find it great that you get to see katie having surgery such as veeners fitted and the pain she goes through afterwards,botox,and more botox.
All together i think it's a great show and its on at 9till10 or on the next day around 12.00 also you can watch it on itv catch up any time and have around 120 to do so untill it expires.
Although i have not watched this programme religiously i have have seen a few episodes whilst flicking through the channels to see what's on. Every time i have done this though i have always ended getting into the programme and end up watching it till the end.
This is a series about one of the most famous couples around Peter Andre and Katie Price (more commonly know as Jordan). It's where they have a camera crew follow their every move for a period of time over a few months. They also have their three children shown and they are Harvey, Junior and Princess Tiaamii.
It's all about their daily life routines and not to say the many disagreements Katie and Peter end up having. I have always noticed that it is about 80% of the time that Katie gets moody and then this is what triggers their arguments.
No doubt this will be the last series that they will do as it's thier third series they done.
Although I don't go out of my way to watch Katie and Peter - The Next Chapter if there's nothing much on T.V and I stumble across it while searching for something to watch I tend to watch it and find myself drawn in. There's something about watching other people in their daily lives that brings out my nosey side!
When Katie Price (aka Jordan) went on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here I was pretty convinced I wouldn't like her but what I found was Katie is actually a nice person, good fun and very pretty even without make up and days in the jungle. Peter Andre used to be the prince of cheese with his music but he too proved likeable in the jungle and when the two of them began their flirting it seemed right.
Of course years later they are now married with children and one of the best known showbiz couples around. It was inevitable they would end up doing something such as Katie and Peter The Next Chapter.
I find the show to be "car crash" T.V and I'm always waiting for the next argument (there are plenty) or the next silly comment to come out of Peter's mouth (again there are plenty). We realise that Katie Price is actually a very shrewd businesswoman who will not let much stand in the way of her ambitions. Peter is a bit like Guy Ritchie, living in the shadows of a successful woman and trying to carve his career but never quite making it to the same extent.
Combined they make for fascinating viewing, they both obviously adore their kids and I think both are very good parents, Peter never seems to favour his own over Harvey who is Katie's first child with Dwight Yorke and the family unit is strong. It's not the family unit however that has us all watching, it's the friction between Katie and Peter.
Many relationships thrive with competitiveness and bickering and theirs is no exception, take for example the driving challenge they decided to do on one episode, both were utterly determined to win. But even with this constant friction their relationship seems to be holding firm, despite rumours in the press on a regular basis of "an imminent break up".
Katie and Peter are very similar in their levels of intelligence and both sometimes make odd remarks, Katie's admittedly cruder than Peter's but again this works, no-one would expect either of them to be Stephen Hawkins clever or Helen Mirren refined! Then there are the slightly suggestive scenes which both Katie and Peter cringe at themselves in later episodes after the event and they do make you wince! It's the kind of scenes that definitely shouldn't be on camera for all the world to see!
Overall the two of them work well together, they love their kids and their bickering and slightly remind me of a young Richard and Judy because of it. It's truly interesting watching these two, unlike Kerry Katona and her program which is not worth the waste of time. These types of programs are best achieved by people already used to cameras, it makes incidents we probably shouldn't see more likely to be the ones we do see!
Very interesting people watching.
I have followed the reality program of Katie and Peter ever since it first started a coupld of years ago and in one respect I don't like it, and in another respect I do, but I can't help but watch it as I do find it quite entertaining.
The program see's them followed around 24 hours a day by a television crew that record there every move, obviously the program is edited to provide the best bits but in some aspects I don't there are actually any best bits.
Now having a family of three children, Harvey, Junior and Princess, you see the children exposed to the camera's which in my opinion I don't think it is right, although they have been slagged off about their parenting skills, but this program I feel portrays them as excellent parents and shows the devotion and the time that they have for their children.
The program shows the obsession that Katie has for changing her body as she isn't completely happy the way that she is, and in one episodes, it shows you the amount of surgery that she undergoes in a very short space of time, including botox, botox..a little bit more botox, veneers and the pain that she goes through in order to feel better about herself.
Peter I feel doesn't come across genuine, and I feel that he does play up to the camera's a little bit to come across more energetic than he actually is. He does come across as a dedicated husband and will do anything for his wife, Katie is just a loving as he is but she seems to express her feelings in a different way. Between the two of them they are both very competitive and don't like being outdone by the other.
In general, it is quite an entertaining program, that I have followed right from the beginning and has shown their fairytale wedding, the pregnancies and their lives and success in general.

The dog days are upon us and it's time for cooks to adopt the motto KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid! – to which we could add "and light, easy and fast".
Thoughts turn naturally to salad meals, to one-pan stir-fries, to pasta and noodles with simple toppings. The family does not need meat, rice and potatoes every night, especially when the mercury is hovering around 30 degrees at sunset.
No-cook or barely cooked veggies, salad ingredients and five-minute grains like couscous can make the basics, with protein from eggs, cheese, fish or chicken. Bread – in the form of pizza bases or burger buns as well as wholewheat, ciabatta and focaccia – provides an easy staple, to be filled or topped and teamed with a side salad.
One of the best food writers to look to when it comes to minimal ingredients transformed into appetising fare in minutes is Australia's Donna Hay, who, as well as having produced 21 cookbooks, has her own food magazine and shop in Sydney. Her mantra is simple, smart and seasonal, and who can argue with that?
Bacon egg rolls
From her new title Simple Dinners by Donna Hay published by Hardie Grant Books. Replace truss with firm ripe tomatoes, sliced, if preferred.
8 rashers smoked bacon, rind removed
400g truss cherry tomatoes
8 eggs, preferably free-range
80ml (one-third cup) cream
Sea salt and black pepper
Bottled tomato relish
Hot buttered toast
Place bacon and tomatoes on a tray lined with non-stick baking paper and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C for 15 minutes, or until bacon is crisp.
Place 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon of cream, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat, pour in egg mixture and swirl to coat the pan. Cook for 45 to 60 seconds or until egg is just cooked.
Turn on to a plate and top with tomato relish and two rashers of bacon.
Roll to enclose.
Repeat with remaining eggs, relish and bacon.
Serve with hot butter toast and the oven-baked tomatoes.
Serves 4.
Crispy fish sliders
This tops contemporary burger trends, and the recipe comes from Simple Dinners. Soda water could replace the mineral water. You could add finely chopped spring onion to the tartare sauce for extra zing.
Serves 4.
8 x 125g small white fish fillets, skinned
50g (quarter cup) rice flour
100g (half cup) additional rice flour
180ml (three-quarter cup) cold sparkling mineral water
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
8 small soft bread rolls, halved
8 butter lettuce leaves
Tartare Sauce:
Half cup mayonnaise
6 cornichons or small gherkins, chopped
1Tbs capers, rinsed and chopped
1Tbs chopped dill
1Tbs lemon juice
Make the sauce first: Place the mayonnaise, cornichons, capers, dill and lemon juice in a bowl and mix. Set aside. Dust the fish with the rice flour, shaking off any excess. Place the additional flour in a bowl, add the water, season and whisk until smooth. Heat 2cm of oil in a deep frying pan over high heat. Dip fish in the batter and cook in the oil, in batches, for two minutes each side. Drain on absorbent paper. Spread the bread rolls with the tartare sauce and top with lettuce, fish and other half of the roll. Serve with potato chips or crisps, if desired.
Baked pumpkin and sage risotto
As Hay asks: "Why stir risotto for half an hour when you can just as easily bake it in the oven for the same result?"
This meat-free dish, using new season pumpkin, is just the ticket for late summer evenings. Find the recipe in Hay's Fast Fresh Simple (Grant Hardie Books).
1Tbs olive oil
1 onion, chopped
12 sage leaves
2 cups Arborio or other risotto rice
800g pumpkin, peeled and diced
1.25 litres chicken or vegetable stock
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
30g butter
Half cup (40g) grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat a large ovenproof saucepan over medium high heat.
Add the oil and onion and cook for three minutes, or until soft. Add the sage and cook for a minute.
Add the rice, pumpkin and stock and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Bake for 30 minutes. The risotto will be quite liquid.
Stir through the salt, pepper, butter and cheese and stir for two minutes until risotto thickens slightly.
Sprinkle risotto with extra cheese and fried sage leaves before serving.
Serves 4.
Asian chicken slaw
This colourful crisp mix can be found in Simple Dinners. Replace Chinese with green cabbage, lime juice with fresh lemon juice and chives with spring onion, if preferred. Do use a good fish sauce, preferably Thai.
6 cups shredded Chinese cabbage
2 carrots, pared and shredded lengthwise
1 cup (150g) roasted unsalted cashews
quarter cup snipped chives
1 cup mint leaves
1 cup coriander leaves (dhania)
2 mild red chillis, seeded and finely sliced
4x200g cooked chicken breasts, shredded
Lime and coconut dressing:
125ml (half cup) coconut milk
1Tbs fish sauce
2Tbs lime juice
1Tbs castor sugar
Combine cabbage, carrot, cashews, chives, mint, coriander, chilli and chicken in a bowl and toss.
Make the dressing: place the coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice and sugar in a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. Serves 4. - Cape Argus

Style: 37006442 Color Code:
Super soft oversized pullover with cutouts at the cuffs. Exposed seaming and side vents.
Free People
Oversized and boxy--My Style!
I bought this item on sale ($40), and I think it was worth the sale price. It definitely runs large and fits boxy, but that is my style so I quite like it. I didn't have the same issues with the piece as other reviewers. I suppose the material is a little 'rougher' than your typical sweater, but I love it. It makes me feel like it will hold up over time. It is obviously made to look faded, rough, and worn. I think this is clearly shown in the marketing photos. Not sure what other buyers were expecting. The fit is oversized with the sleeves being a BIT more tapered--I still don't think they are tight by any means. I will say that I was torn about whether to get a small or a medium. I ended up going with the small and I am GLAD I did. Even the small is quite large, so I would be swimming in a medium. For reference I am 5'6", 135lbs, and I carry most of my weight in my hips/thighs. I sometimes size up to a medium for extra length, but this item already has a lower back, so the small is perfect. Overall I really enjoy this sweater.
like it
I bought this sweater in both colors. I like the material and sleeves of it. But i find that the sweater itself should be a little tighter, have a little more form/contour. I like the neckline many complain about. it is cozy and cute
Love...love love
It's meant to be tunic length and tight in the sleeve. I'm 5'10". 180. I was able to fall in love with this top....I wore it today...and recieved many compliments, It hangs lower in the back....covers the backside. Great material. The sleeves are beautiful. The detail...superb!!!!!!! I wish it came in 10 different colors. Soooooo happy...
Just popped this back in the mail today!
This was my first FP purchase and it was extremely disappointing! Got this pullover in the correct size,after using the FP sizing chart as a guide, and when I tried it on I was swimming in it! Not a cuddly stylish oversized but a swimming in it oversized! It was huge! The neck cut out was huge, like other reviewers mentioned, and I could tell that if I wore it I would regularly be adjusting it to make sure it stayed on my shoulders. The sleeves on this were tight where the lace is and the cuffs were oddly warped where the seam was sewn which made them stick out awkwardly which also made the cuffs look boxy. The cloth was flimsy,thin and cheap, no real substance. I had to laugh that the original price for this was $140-ish because there's no way this is worth that much. The idea for this pullover is good, it is cute, but in real life it's a no go. If you buy this you will most likely have to get it altered.
neck too wide
The neck hangs open especially when it stretches through wearing. which means I could not send it back. Arms a good fit and generally supposed to be a lose fit. However the beautiful dark green washes out after one wash at 30 degrees so now looks really pale. shame expensive mistake
Its not often that i'm so disappointed in a free people piece. From the pictures it looked amazing BUT the fabric is rough and stiff, the arms fit tight, the crochet doesn't have any give. The whole thing was so disappointing and will be returned. Free People you are better than this!
Weird fit: runs small—and large...???
Very disappointing. I wanted to love this shirt. The arms are way too tight (my arms normal size - not large). The body shape is very boxy and large, but the length isn't quite long enough to wear this with leggings. The neck is very wide - larger than a boat neck and the fabric is stiff, so the neck moves when you move your arm (if you can). The stitching and design are beautiful and well done, but unless you have very skinny arms, this shirt might feel uncomfortable. I'm usually a size medium, so I ordered that but I am definitely returning it. I might try a size large, but since it's really wide and boxy, not sure it's worth the cost. :(
love the color, texture but sleeves very tight and the neck too wide seems out of proportion. For the price expected a much better fit, shame as this could have been such a fun top!
The material is stiff and no stretch at all! The sleeves are fine, but the rest of the garment is not for me. Also the neck is just to big. For cool weather I prefer a higher neckline. I wanted to like it. It went back.

int sum outside the loop, so you do not need to re-declare it anymore. You should also try to declare all your variables outside any sort of loops.
int num, not

Starter Liriano impressive again as Pirates blank Cubs
The last time Francisco Liriano pitched this well, Cubs starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija was a 1,000-yard wide receiver for Notre Dame.
Fished out of baseball's bargain bin this offseason, Liriano pitched like the lefty who torched the American League in 2006 prior to elbow surgery, out-dueling Samardzija in a 1-0 Pirates' win Wednesday.
Liriano, who was one of baseball's most promising pitchers before Tommy John surgery in 2006, continues to look like one of baseball's best free-agent bargains. He shut out the Cubs over seven innings at PNC Park, allowing just two hits and a walk while striking out nine.
After breaking his arm in an accident this offseason following an up-and-down 2012, Liriano (3-0) was guaranteed just $1 million plus incentives. But thanks to a slight mechanical tweak that has improved his command, he's pitched like an eight-figure-a-year starter, allowing two runs over his first 18 innings as a Pirate while striking out 25 compared to only six walks.
On Wednesday at PNC Park, Liriano baffled Cubs hitters with two swing-and-miss off-speed pitches and showcased better command of his low- to mid-90s fastball than he had in recent years while with the Twins and White Sox.
The key with Liriano always has been command.
"When he gets ahead with his fastball the other stuff plays up dramatically," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "That's what he was able to do tonight better than his last two outings. That's why he was able to go seven."
Last season when he was briefly demoted to the White Sox bullpen, he watched reliever Brett Myers pound the strike zone with an over-the-top delivery. Liriano decided to adopt the motion, slightly raising the release point from the three-quarters delivery he had used dating to his time with the Twins.
"I'm just going over my head and not trying to overthrow," Liriano said. "Sometimes I'd try to over throw and I got in trouble"
The adjustment appears to be paying major dividends.
For his career, Liriano has thrown his fastball for strikes only 55 percent of the time. But in his first two starts, Liriano threw his fastball for strikes at a 68-percent clip. He also had impressive command while rehabbing when he walked only four — and struck out 33 — in 21 innings.
Liriano threw 15 of his 26 first pitches for strikes Wednesday and walked just one.
"When he has fastball command those are the games that are electric for him," Hurdle said.
Liriano's other marked improvement is with his changeup.
Opponents swung and missed at Liriano's changeup 53.3 percent of the time in his first two starts, and the changeup continued to be weapon Wednesday.
Liriano got Cubs slugger Anthony Rizzo to swing and miss for strikeouts twice on changeups. Alfonso Soriano swung and missed at a changeup to begin the fourth and watched a changeup paint the corner in the sixth for another strikeout.
"Pitching ahead makes it a lot easier," Liriano said. "I'm mixing up all my pitches but I'm using more of my changeup than I did last year."
While the velocity is not what it was pre-Tommy John, Liriano's fastball is averaging 93 mph and in line with his velocity from his 2010 season, his one outstanding campaign post-surgery.
Liriano always has had success against the National League; he is 12-5 against NL teams for his career.
Samardzija was nearly as good as Liriano.
The Pirates always have struggled against Samardzija, who entered with 0.92 career ERA against the club. Samardzija baffled the Pirates on Opening Day when he didn't allow a run and yielded just two hits over eight innings. Samaradzija allowed just one run and three hits in seven innings Wednesday.
The Pirates' only damage came in the first when Andrew McCutchen lined a double to left, and Garrett Jones followed with a two-out RBI single. McCutchen also doubled in the fourth, slashing a 98 mph Samardzija fastball off the right-field wall. McCutchen continues to warm up, producing his fourth multi-hit game in his last five.
They were the only three hits the former Notre Dame receiver allowed. But with Liriano recapturing his 2006 form, it was all that was required.

African Side-Necked Turtles: Pelomedusidae - Behavior And Reproduction
females weather scientists eggs
Although these side-necked turtles can be quite noticeable in their habitat, scientists know very little about their behavior. The turtles bask, spending warm days sunning themselves near the shoreline. They are especially active during the wet season, when they may roam over land. When the weather turns dry, many side-necked turtles seek shelter underground. Those that live in the cool, mild climate of the far south of Africa may hibernate, or become inactive, on land or under water through the winter months.
These turtles breed during late spring or summer, with the females laying six to four dozen oblong-shaped eggs. Scientists suspect that the turtles may have more than one set of young every year. The outside temperature controls how many eggs in a clutch, or group, will develop into males and how many will develop into females. Scientists call this "temperature-dependent sex determination," or TDSD. If the weather is constantly warm or especially cool, most of the young are females. If the weather is more temperate, or mild, most are males.

Another Dead Bushnell
This is the second Bushnell Elite 3200 I have gotten, the first lasted 20 shots before it died, this one lasted maybe 120. This one replaced the other since I was assured the other one dying was a fluke. This makes 2 dead Bushnell Elite 3200s since August.
Here are the last 3 cold bore shots I took with it since I worked up a winter load.
It hits in the same area even though it should be 12 inches lower by the 3rd shot.
I'm going to take the scope off tomorrow and try the iron sights to make sure it isn't the rifle. I am 99% sure it isn't the rifle because the last 3 shot group I took with the thing was 1 13/16" at 300 yards. I've always had a problem with this scope needing one shot before the settings take.
I also tried a test of sorts, I adjusted down 6" again like I did the other times, then adjusted over 2 1/4, which I am pretty sure I did at least one other time. I took another shot at the same distance, with a combined adjustment of 18" lower. It was still high!
The lateral adjustments seemed to take that time, it was a little too far right.
So I tapped the turret, (I've seen people that do that every adjustment with other scopes and it seems to work for them.) I tapped and then took a shot, tapped and took another shot, etc...
My 4th shot was 18" lower than the first.
I then started adjusting trying to get it back on target but it is shooting willy-nilly now.
The scope mount is rock solid, I used Permatex high strength Threadlocker Red to attach the mount to the rifle and the top screws are tight as a drum.
This is almost the exact thing the first one did; the only difference was the lateral adjustment got stuck in a specific area before it broke free to then shoot willy-nilly.
This isn't a post about "Bushnell Sucks!" it is about what can I do with this telescope to turn it into a working rifle scope?
Are there aftermarket innards I can get to make this $220 telescope work as marketed?
Yes, I know; it has a lifetime guarantee, I am not interested in a temporary fix by replacing this one with the same flawed craftsmanship, I want something that actually works without breaking the bank. I am tired of wasting bullets hoping this thing is going to work in the next shot.
I am thinking I should just get another Nikko Stirling Diamond like on my 30-06, but I really don't want to settle for this being an expensive 10x eye relief telescope.
Additionally, the mounts are not angled and the screws are not too tight. the tube has no paint wear so it isn't too loose either.
The mounting is perfect. I am sure it is the scope.
I am sure this scope is supposed to be failing like it is. That is why they boast of the 4200 having "recoil tested with 10,000 rounds of 375 H&H for unfailing reliability" and the 3200 is simply "recoil tested to 1,000 rounds of a .375 H&H magnum".
I bought a Bushnell a while back for Varmint hunting. 4-12x40mmAO. It would not zero, it refused to zero. When I bore sighted it, the reticule moved, But once I put it on the bench, the POI would not change. High right. I replaced it w/ a Sightron SII 6.5-20x42mmAO. The rifle shoots like a champ now.
Have you checked the rifle at all. Sounds like you have your mind made up that it is the scope. Could it be the handguard touching the barrel. Or maybe something is wrong with the rifle. Me I would can them god awful see through rings. They are the worst kind of rings to have on anything. I find it hard to believe that 2 of any scope in a row had the exact same problem. Have you taken the rifle to a smith to have it checked out? Maybe the barrel is lose there are plenty of problems out there that could contribute to the problem.
Additional Information
At first I put shims under my rear mount to better align the rings; which fortunately also gave me more elevation adjustment.
To eliminate the possibility that the screws are too tight I measured the scope tube at all angles with a micrometer, there is a .002 variance. 1 inch is the smallest and 1.002 is the max; at both mounts the vertical is the larger. I am sure that is acceptable.
To display exactly what is happening, I loaded 10 more cartridges; as always, quality control being first and foremost.
Before I went out to the range, I made sure the ring screws were looser than usual. I tightened them with this screwdriver good and tight.
When it started getting cold is when my accuracy died. The first video when I was working up a winter load is after I first noticed the rifle shooting willy-nilly. I thought maybe the cold was effecting my powder burn rate, in turn effecting barrel harmonics.
So when I took the rifle out today to set up my target and such I made sure my rifle was in the cold for about 1/2 hour . I then loosened the back ring screws so if there was any tension between the different expansion/contraction of my receiver and scope would become a non-issue.
I proceeded in getting my zero at 300 Yards.
Here is the 300 yard target.
My first shot was 1.5 inches high and 7 inches left. I adjusted accordingly, no tension in the dials; as far as I can tell, everything is working wonderfully!
The second shot was .5 inch high, (acceptable,) the lateral adjustment still 7 inches left. I notice the scope has moved 1/4 inch so I loosen all ring screws and tighten them with the next size bigger screwdriver shown below, (the screwdriver I used initially,) with a rotating type pattern, (you know, like lug nuts.)
I take the third shot without any adjustments. I am still in the same spot laterally but now 6.25 inches low. I adjust accordingly.
The 4th shot lands in the upper left corner of my inch bull. I go for a group with those settings.
As you can see, the group of shots 4, 5 and 6 is 4 inches. The scope is shooting willy-nilly! It is not me, it is not the rifle, I clean the barrel each shot. Everything is as close to the previous shots as humanly possible. That is more than double my largest group with this set-up.
I triangulate the center of those shots and adjust accordingly.
Shot #7 is 5 inches high, 1.25 right. I only adjust down 5.25 inches.
At this time he wind is starting to pick-up with a 4mph, 4:30 wind, so I decide to aim where the x is, hoping the shot drifts into the square.
Shot #8 hit .75 inches low and exactly perfect laterally according to POA. I decided to go for another group with my last 2 shots.
Shot #9 was the only shot I knew I missed. When the shot was touched-off I seen the square above the line plain as day. The square was sitting on the cross-hair, the cross-hair being 1 inch at 300 yards; meaning I errored 1 inch low. It should have been 1.75 inches low which is the size of my usual group at that range.
shot 10 hit just a hair high of center square, on the right edge. Right where I figured the wind would take me.
That group, (considering I missed shot #9,) should have been 2.25 inches, if all went well. I think the scope was in error 1/2 inch at that range at those settings.
Now... If the scope somehow locks-up on those settings, that would be cool. It is only a 600 yard rifle and I will be able to hold over or under and use Kentucky windage at those ranges. What I'll have is an expensive telescope mounted on a rifle. Unless I can find some quality replacement parts, I think I'm going to have to live with that.
Just an oddity. The elevation setting it is on now, it is the same setting I had it on with shot #2.
Thank you for your input and time.
You can tell by the patterns in the target I just posted, it is kinda hard to miss 3 shots in a row that end up in a straight line 8.5 inches tall and 1 inch wide. Especially when there was a 7 inch lateral scope adjustment.
I mean, how many people do you know that conclude that their scope is messed up by HITTING the target? And at 300 yards with a 30-30 no less!
Think about it. 3 different shots at 300 yards over 3 weeks and they end up less than 2 inches from each other. What are the odds of my rifle shooting that good/bad?
Maybe the cold weather is affecting the lube of the internal mechanics of the scope.
I would still try it on another rifle just to be sure.
If it were me I would put some better mounts on it as well. Mounts are cheap in the over all scheme of all things shooting.
Weaver 1-Piece Grand Slam Standard Scope Base Winchester 94 Angle-Eject Gloss
Weaver 1" Grand Slam Standard Rings Matte High
That should keep the tube bending to a minimum.
High rings to ensure cases eject well.
Just rotate the scope 90 deg to the left that will take care of the eject issue.

|Freelance Hero Team
|Notable members:
| Kim Possible
Ron Stoppable
|First Appearance:
Team Possible, comprised of Ron, Rufus, and Wade, were the the support team for world-famous and charismatic teen heroine Kim Possible.
The fact she works with a team is rarely noted and often overlooked entirely. Despite this, each member of Team Possible contributes to Kim's overall success in their own way. While Kim is certainly capable on her own, some missions strongly implied she requires at least one partner in the field to be consistently successful,[1] and that this partner must be Ron Stoppable for optimal results.[2]
Team Possible's dynamic remained largely unchanged throughout their adventures. As the team name suggests, Kim was the clear field leader and combat expert. Ron provided a wide range of distractions and stall tactics, and on a couple of occasions took the lead. Rufus contributed the occasional element of unpredictability. Wade served as the team's communications guru and technology provider.
Base of Operations
Team Possible was based in Middleton: all the team members lived there, Kim and Ron went to school there, and Wade had a business relationship with the Middleton Institute of Science and Technologies.[3]

Roy Hodgson believes his England side have proved they can keep their cool in the heat, writes Martin Lipton.
Hodgson's final warm-up game on Saturday night nearly descended into anarchy as American referee Ricardo Salazar allowed the Honduran hitmen to line up their targets.
Daniel Sturridge had a ball booted into his nether-regions, Danny Welbeck, Steven Gerrard and Ross Barkley were scythed down and Leighton Baines was caught by a flying elbow which finally saw Brayan Beckeles dismissed.
The Three Lions failed to take advantage of the extra man but with Italy and Uruguay laying in wait in the opening two group games at the finals in Brazil, Hodgson felt his men had passed a huge test of their resolve and temperament.
Hodgson said: "How to cope against Latin American teams is something which we probably have learned.
"The whole idea of playing Peru, Ecuador and Honduras [in the pre-tournament friendlies] was to show us something very, very different compared to playing teams like Sweden or Norway, where we'd know exactly what we were going into.
"This is something different, the culture in those countries is a different culture and I think we've had a nice little taste of it.
"Certainly I was very pleased with the way the players kept their discipline, kept their shape.
"There were one or two situations there that had me looking between my fingers, which can lead to people doing silly things and you end up losing one, but they didn't react at all.''
Hodgson was critical of American whistler Salazar, but added: "The level of referee performance will be higher in the World Cup. A lot of times, he didn't seem to know who had committed the foul and when he should be blowing his whistle.
"He also allowed them to take a long time on a free-kick to take the sting out of the game.
"These are things we can't really control, so it is quite good to practice it. They kept their cool very well.
"I think we got three yellow cards, but God knows how.''
* RAY LEWINGTON is on crutches after having an emergency knee operation, writes John Cross.
The England No.2 woke up in agony with a locked knee in the early hours of Friday.
The 57-year-old revealed: "It was really painful. It couldn't have been worse timing, but I will only be on crutches for two or three days."
Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson appointed Lewington as his assistant after they worked together at Fulham.
The vastly experienced Lewington, who normally takes a big role in training, hopes to be back to normal by the end of the week.

An Ilkley GP is to tackle a cycling challenge in aid of the Leeds children's heart surgery unit which saved the life of his seriously-ill baby daughter.
Dr Sam Dabin will be joined by Ilkley Moor Medical Practice colleague, Dr Graeme Summers, and eight other friends and family members, on a 112-mile ride in the Yorkshire Dales this May.
He will be raising money to support the children's heart unit which treated baby Amelie when she was found to have a rare heart condition.
When Amelie was born last September, she seemed a perfectly healthy baby, with big blue eyes, rosy cheeks and a firm grip, holding on to mum and dad's fingers.
Eight weeks later at a routine health check, she was found to have a heart murmur. But her parents, Helen and Sam, who are both GPs, were not immediately concerned as heart murmurs are common and most are not serious.
Amelie, however, was not so lucky. She was referred for further tests and found to have a tetralogy of fallot, a serious and rare heart condition. Amelie's parents were told she would need to have an operation to repair her heart at six months of age.
Unfortunately for Amelie, she soon began to feed with difficulty and have episodes of having bluish skin when crying. Her condition rapidly deteriorated and she was admitted to Leeds General Infirmary Paediatric Heart Unit.
Within hours of admission she was critically ill and a surgical team performed a six-hour lifesaving operation in the middle of the night. She made an excellent recovery under the vigilant care of the nurses and two weeks later was discharged home.
Dr Dabin says Amelie, now four-and-a-half-months old, is doing well.
"She's really good, she's put on a lot of weight and she's recovering very well," he said.
Amelie is expected to require a further operation when she is a teenager.
Dr Dabin said he would like to do something for the Leeds unit, which was threatened with closure last year.
Closure would have left the family with a 200-mile round trip to Newcastle or Liverpool to get Amelie vital treatment.
"I wanted to do something to give something back," he said.
The bike ride will take place in May, starting and finishing at Threshfield, near Grassington.

LA MARQUE, Texas - Police said a teenager was pushed from a moving vehicle while trying to stop a carjacking.
Around 6:30 a.m. Monday, police in La Marque said Marilou Fernando went to the Walmart in the 6400 block of I-45 with her two children, ages 4 and 15.
Police said Fernando took her youngest child inside, but left the teen, Anthony Chhay, in the car with the engine running.
At some point, police said a man jumped in the driver's seat. Anthony tried to grab the key, but the man wouldn't hand it over.
"He was saying that my mom wanted me inside Walmart and that he would give the key to her," Anthony said.
Anthony jumped out, but decided to jump back into the vehicle to try and stop the crook, police said.
Investigators said the thief drove off, pushing Anthony out while the vehicle was in motion.
"He comes storming in and he looked like he was shocked," Fernando said. "He was saying, 'Mom, somebody just stole the car.'"
Anthony was not hurt, but the carjacker did manage to escape, police said.
The vehicle was later found abandoned near Sabo Road and Fuqua, officials said.
Fernando said a pocketknife was found in the car .
Anyone with information is asked to give La Marque Crime Stoppers a call at 409-938-TIPS (8477).

A MAN found not guilty of attempted rape and sexual assault told the Gazette he was relieved his 'ten months of hell' were over.
Nathan Taylor, 33, of Barley Cop Lane, Lancaster, was cleared by a unanimous verdict at Carlisle Crown Court following an incident in Milnthorpe last year.
The prosecution claimed Mr Taylor forcefully undressed a woman outside the Bulls Head Hotel, on Beetham Road, pinned her face down on the floor and tried to have sex with her.
It was alleged he only stopped when a woman on her way home with her young children dragged him away.
The court heard other people walked past the scene, which took place at 1.22am on August 5, but did not stop.
Defence barrister Kathryn Johnson argued that all sexual contact between the pair, who had been on a two-day cocaine and alcohol binge, was consensual.
"She could have left at any time but she was developing feelings for him," said Ms Johnson.
"She made an aggressive sexual approach towards him and all sexual activity took place with her willing participation and reciprocation."
The defence also said Mr Taylor had to be dragged off the woman, in her early 20s, because he had fallen asleep on her. This was in keeping with the prosecution statement, which said Mr Taylor was 'unresponsive' and 'like a dead weight' during the incident.
It took two hours for the 12 jurors to reach their unanimous verdict following the five-day hearing.
The case had been heard at crown court several months earlier but the jury then could not reach a verdict.
Speaking outside court, surrounded by friends and family, an emotional Mr Taylor said: "I'm elated it is all over. It has been ten months of hell. I'm so pleased the verdict was unanimous as well."

(CBS/AP) NEW ORLEANS - Police said four people were wounded in a weekend shooting on Bourbon Street during New Orleans' countdown to Mardi Gras, while thousands continued partying despite the violence.
A video taken by a witness Saturday night and released the next day showed footage of people standing shoulder to shoulder in the city's famed tourist district, holding green plastic cups and wearing gaudy hats or masks.
Police said in an email that the video depicts an argument involving one of the shooting victims and the suspects. Two men are seen leaving the argument and returning with a third, then approaching the victim as at least one of the suspects begins shooting.
Four shots are heard in rapid succession, followed by screams, according to police. A man whom police identified as one of the suspects is shown walking through the crowd with his arm extended as the gunshots are heard, though it's difficult to make out a weapon.
Police said Sunday that they were seeking the three men and that they have identified one suspect, but did not release the name.
The shootings wounded two men and two women, three of whom were treated and released Sunday. One man hit in the abdomen, thigh and pelvis was in stable condition Sunday after surgery the previous night, New Orleans Police spokesman Hilal Williams said.
Of those treated and released, a man was shot in the buttocks, one woman was shot on the chin and right foot, and the second woman was shot on the toe, police said. No ages or names were released.
The shooting came on the last weekend of partying before Mardi Gras, the Fat Tuesday celebration that is the signature tourist event of the year in New Orleans. And for thousands, the partying continued despite the shooting. Parades rolled under cloudy skies Sunday before crowds of onlookers, though the shootings were on the minds of some revelers.
Some who were on Bourbon when the shooting occurred came back Sunday. Hours after the shooting, there was little evidence that violence had occurred. Revelers were in full party mode, packing the block amid a heavy police presence.
"We're not worried," said Raymond Reginato of Toronto, Canada, who was in New Orleans with friends for a bachelor party this weekend. "Everybody's in a good mood. I really believe that was an isolated incident."
Jackie Counte Cooley of Gainesville, Ga., said the shooting was enough to deter her from Bourbon Street, though she was among the revelers packed nearby along Canal Street taking in Sunday's parades.
"It's my first Mardi Gras, and I'm having a good time, but I won't be going to Bourbon Street," she said.

ATLANTA — Paul Johnson's first two years at Georgia Tech are looking better and better – and increasingly distant in the past.
Since winning a combined 20 games in 2008 and 2009, Georgia Tech has averaged seven wins the ast four years.
The Yellow Jackets, looking for their first Top 25 finish since 2009, are trying to end an ugly streak of five consecutive losses to state rival Georgia.
Johnson points to recent high finishes in the Atlantic Coast Conference's Coastal Division as evidence criticism of his program is unwarranted.
Georgia Tech has never finished lower than third in the division in Johnson's six years.
The league's media picked Georgia Tech to finish only fifth in the division this year.
The Yellow Jackets finished 7-6 overall and 5-3 in the ACC last year. Georgia Tech lost three of its past four games, including a Music City Bowl loss to Mississippi.
Justin Thomas is expected to replace quarterback Vad Lee, who transferred to James Madison. The running game should be strong as usual in Johnson's spread-option attack.
There are questions on both lines.
"We've got replace a lot of experience on the offensive line," Johnson said. "So there are question marks. I can see why people would question (the team's potential).
"Are we going to be the most talented team that we've had here individually? Probably not. But that doesn't mean you're not going to be the best team. You just have to see."

I WORK for the Royal Voluntary Service in Andover.
We are looking for some volunteers to help out initially with some painting and decorating/ refurbishment at the office in Suffolk Road.
We have been given some new kitchen units and a toilet from Wicks which we need fitted.
If there are plumbers or kitchen fitters who would do that for us, or electricians who would test the electrics and fit some more sockets for us, it would be greatly appreciated.
It has been neglected for a number of years for lots of different reasons, but mainly down to losing our meals on wheels contract for the council last year and some ill health of some of the volunteers here.
We are now looking at moving forward and setting up a service called Good Neighbours and we are looking for volunteers to help out with a number of tasks – befriending (visit the clients home for a chat), telephone befriending (call a client and have a chat), DIY/ handyperson (do some simple tasks such gardening or cleaning when needed), drivers (taking clients to hospital, doctor's appointments or shopping), admin assistants, fundraisers (raising money for the service and the Hub) and sustomer support volunteers.

Sebastien Bourdais was fastest in the second practice session at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, but drivers were frustrated by red flags.

CLICK: Full practice 2 results from Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course CLICK: Combined Friday practice results from Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course
KVSH Racing's Sebastien Bourdais was the fastest man on track at Mid-Ohio Sports Car course, in the second of three practice sessions at the 2.258-mile, 13-turn permanent road course.
Bourdais' time of 1:06.8271s (121.639mph) put him 0.0539s clear of Andretti Autosport's Carlos Munoz, with AJ Foyt's Takuma Sato following close behind the pair. However, Bourdais' afternoon time was slightly slower than his morning effort. The top eight times on Friday came from the earlier session, with Bourdais' pre-lunch effort putting him into fifth place for the day as a whole.
That means that Andretti Autosport's Ryan Hunter-Reay was the fastest man overall on Friday. "It was a good start to the day," he said. "We were quickest in the morning with the DHL car. Because of the stoppages in the second session, we never got moving the way we wanted to.
"I think the cars are good, but we do need to work at it overnight and go for pole tomorrow," he admitted. "Coming down to the final race and a championship on the line, we need to win. It's amazing to think that we've won three races and Helio has won one, but he's that far out in the lead in points. But that's the way the points system is right now, we need to win races because we are in the position we are. But it's doable still and we'll keep at it."
Munoz was one of only five drivers to improve on their morning efforts, the others being Sato, Justin Wilson (Dale Coyne Racing), Jack Hawksworth (Bryan Herta Autosport) and Mike Conway (Ed Carpenter Racing). However despite their improvements, both Hawksworth and Conway remained at the bottom of the combined timesheets for Friday.
The reason for the slower times in the afternoon was the appearance of the first red flag stoppages of the weekend. In the first, Simon Pagenaud - who had been second-fastest in the morning session for Schmidt Peterson Hamilton Motorsport - slid into the gravel run-off area at turn 4 just after the mid-point of the 45-minute session. The #77 required recovery, but once kitted out with new tyres the Frenchman then went on to set his fastest lap of the session to pop into seventh place on the timesheets proving there was no lasting harm done.
The second red flag of the session came minutes before the scheduled end of the session, when Wilson's team mate Carlos Huertas spun off and stalled on the inside edge of the keyhole having just set eighth-fastest time. The session did not resume after the red flag, meaning that many drivers who had been preparing to lay down their flying laps were unable to do so.
The morning's pace setters - Ryan Hunter-Reay, Pagenaud and Scott Dixon - all finished in the top ten times. Strangely anonymous in the session were the Penske contingent of Helio Castroneves, Will Power and Juan Pablo Montoya who ended up in 11th, 13th and 14th positions in the afternoon having not really shown their hands so far.
There will be one further 45-minute practice session on Saturday morning for them to nail down their set-ups before the qualifying session on Saturday afternoon, which will take the familiar elimination round format for street and road courses culminating in the Firestone Fast Six pole shootout.
There will also be a half-hour warm-up session on Sunday morning before the race itself which takes place at 3.50pm local time (8.50pm BST) on Sunday afternoon.
