Take a lesson from the greatest flyer of all time, Michael Phelps, and breathe every stroke (except on the first stroke off the start and turn). I am amazed at how few swimmers breathe enough in fly. Why breathe? Oxygen is the most important nutrient for our body. Without it, we die in approximately seven minutes. With it (and glucose) we produce the molecule that drives all of our physical activity, ATP. ATP is the fuel for our muscles. Yes, we can still produce ATP without Oxygen, but with Oxygen we produce about 15 times more ATP than without it! Not only are we providing more fuel for our muscles when we breathe, we also avoid building up one of the byproducts of ATP production without Oxygen, Lactic Acid. Lactic Acid buildup is responsible for the big monkey climbing on our back in the last 10 meters of our race. So keep your head low above the water (or breathe to the side) but breathe, baby, breathe! Why do you think Phelps always touches out his competitors in the 100 fly? He is charging with Oxygen, while others are tightening up with Lactic Acid.
Most backstrokers try to hit a home run with each arm pull….and they tend to try to push their hands all the way to the end. As a consequence, they lose time in the most important position (what I call the power position) at the beginning of the stroke, shortly after the hand enters the water. In other words, they swim one arm pull at a time and lose the continuity and flow of the stroke. What I like to teach in backstroke is to keep the hands over the head all the time. The power one generates at the end of the pull is small compared to the beginning. So the quicker we can get our hand back into the power position the better. This also maintains our inertia. It takes a lot more energy to get going fast than it does to keep going fast (freeway swimming vs. stop and go traffic swimming). One way to accomplish this 'swimming on the freeway' is to do the 'half-stroke' backstroke. In other words, just think about taking the first half of the stroke. Ignore the second half (from your stomach to your leg). In reality, you won't be able to do it, but you will find you get your hand back over your head much quicker. Don't try to hit a home run with each arm pull and you will stay on the freeway, not tire as quickly and come out with a much better time!
God knows I was not a good breastroker. Fortunately, you don't need to be good at something to be good at teaching something. So I have learned from watching some of the great Race Club breastrokers, like Darren Mew (UK) and Ricky Barbosa (Brazil). I particularly liked watching Rebecca Soni swim in Beijing. What I liked was how in front her hands are. She pulls back less than any breastroke I have seen. OK, she has great legs….but she arches her back high on the breath, lifts her shoulders and then strikes with her legs like a Cobra going for the kill. The photo below taken of Darren Mew is the most revealing and illustrative photo I have ever seen: Look at the arch in the back and look at the leg position….ready for the strike. Once you strike with the legs, drop the head lower than you think to get your bum and feet to finish on the surface.
Where do I begin? OK, let's talk about the single most common mistake freestylers make; head position. Why do freestlyers swim with their heads up? Two reasons. First, they like to see and know where they are going. Second, I believe they think that by raising their head, they also will raise their body in the water. Wrong. Raising your head up actually makes your bum and core sink lower in the water. So you then need to pull your body through the water at an angle….not very efficient or fast. So drop your chin down (extremely) so it nearly touches your chest and notice how much more in alignment your body becomes. On the towrope my time dropped by over two seconds for 50 meters just by merely dropping my chin and head down. Wow! Same power, just less resistance. When you drop your head in freestyle you will have the sensation of swimming downhill or over the waterfall. That is what you want. Glance up only to see where the cross on the wall is and then tuck your head back down and keep it down! Leave the Tarzan swim for your competitor.
Secret Tips by Jon Olsen
1.) Most important of all- RELAX and ENJOY. The more you relax, the more potential you have physiologically to swim fast. Learn how to do it slow- then fast.
2.) Alter your drills. Play with new ideas, whether good or bad. You won't know what works until you try it from all angles. This can lead to coming up with completely new drills. It is not wrong if it works for you!
3.) Always think about body position first. It has a huge impact on all strokes.
4.) When doing drills always take your time, go slow, and think about how that drill relates to that particular stroke.
5.) Think outside the box (or pool). What activities out of the pool directly relate to your strokes in the pool? Work on it, perfect it, and have fun with it (i.e. boxing, spearfishing, surfing, etc). Read more

US Launches WTO Dispute Against Chinese Wind Power Fund
The US last month initiated dispute proceedings against China at the WTO, alleging that Beijing's special fund for wind power manufacturing is an illegal subsidy under international trade law.
Trade tensions between the two countries have heated up in recent months, as Washington's request for consultations, dated 22 December, represents the second time in less than four months that it has accused China of violating WTO rules. The Obama administration has also been increasingly concerned that US companies risk falling behind their Chinese counterparts in the area of clean energy.
Beijing insists its policies are both within the bounds of WTO rules and good for the environment. The Chinese commerce ministry said in a statement on its website that it "will conscientiously study the US request for consultations, and will deal with this in accordance with WTO dispute settlement rules."
The US claims the special Chinese government fund awarding grants to wind power makers is illegal under WTO rules because it seems to benefit manufacturers using parts made in China. Washington argues that Beijing's grants are inconsistent with WTO rules because they appear to award funds based on the use of domestic over imported goods, a violation of Article 3 of the SCM Agreement. The US has also taken issue with China's failure to notify the WTO of these measures. Moreover, the US alleges China has violated the commitments it made when acceding to the WTO by not making available translations of the domestic legislation regarding the grant program in English, French, or Spanish (the official languages of the WTO).
"Import substitution subsidies are particularly harmful and inherently trade distorting, which is why they are expressly prohibited under WTO rules, said Ron Kirk, the United States trade representative. "These subsidies effectively operate as a barrier to US exports to China. Opening markets by removing barriers to our exports is a core element of the president's strategy."
According to Kirk's office, total subsidies under the Chinese program, which began in 2008, could amount to several hundred million dollars. The case originated in Mr. Kirk's office in response to complaints by the United Steelworkers Union (USW). The USW complaint included allegations that China employs a wide range of policies to protect its domestic producers of wind and solar energy equipment, advanced lithium batteries and energy-efficient vehicles, among other products. The US trade office, however, has only filed complaints at the WTO with respect to wind power, and has yet to make a determination on the solar power aspects of the union's complaint.
Requesting consultations is the first step in the Dispute Settlement process at the WTO. If the US and China fail to reach a solution in 60 days, the US can request the creation of a panel to hear the case.
President Obama is expected to raise the issue with China's President Hu Jintao at a summit meeting in Washington on 19 January.

Buying an expensive guitar is not an end in itself. You have to take good care of your instrument to ensure that you consistently get good sound from your guitar for an extended period of time. You can not use the guitar without getting itself dirty. On the other hand, go for a little cleaning everyday and you are able to evade a lot of possible problems in future. Read on the article below to know about some simple steps to keep your guitar neat and clean even after a long days of practice.
If you want to see you guitar well maintained over along stretch of time then train yourself in the art of wiping, because it is the key to keep your guitar clean each time after playing it.
A soft cotton rag is precisely the thing you should use for polishing and cleaning your guitar. If you prefer to use commercial products, you can use a special guitar polishing cloth. These clothes are made of flannel and are available in any music stores. Not only the guitar, these specialized clothes can be used to wipe out dirt from any of your musical instrument.
All of us have in our wardrobe at least a couple of discarded cotton T-shirts that have been discolored for many sessions of washing. Do not throw them away; they make a perfect guitar cleaner and guitar wiping tool as several laundering history have left them virtually free from lint and with these types of cotton clothes you do not have any risk of making scratches on the polish of the instrument. But generally avoid the printed clothes as they may create scratch marks on its delicate finish.
For the same reason, never wipe the guitars with paper towels, especially if your guitar has a lacquer or shellac French polish. If disposability is the point of your concern, then go for shop towels instead of paper towels. As the formers will never bring scratch marks on your guitar.
Also remember to use more than one piece of cloth for wiping out the oils from the surface of the instrument. If the instrument is smeared with lot of oily or misty substance, a repeated use of one piece of cloth will bring back the haze in its previous place. So you have to use a number of pieces of clothes to remove the layers of haze from the surface of the guitar.
Each time you wipe your guitar, you actually perform a polishing job and if you maintain this habit lifelong, your guitar will also look new for life long. Do not avoid cleaning of such areas as the areas under the strings just because they are difficult to reach. Extend the corner of your cloth under the strings to make sure that the surface does not gather dust.
Also do not forget to polish the strings robustly after each playing. You have to get hold the string with piece of your cloth and rub the strings along its length. This sustains the tonal life of the strings for a longer stretch of time. The experts are even of the opinion that you should wipe the strings a number of times during a performance.
On a closer scrutiny of the top and back of the instrument you will come to find a number of nagging spots of oil, smudge, fingerprints and so on. To get rid of such marks you have to introduce a little hint of moisture. You might have seen some people have the habit of cleaning their spectacles by 'huff'ing on their lenses. The similar way you can breathe out on the affected area to wipe out the marks from it.
Cleaning of the surface can be done by commercial cleaners that are mainly of three types; oils, water based cleaners and water based but thicker solution mixed with light abrasives. In the absence of commercial cleaners, you can simply use the detergent -mixed water which should be sprayed on the cloth and not on the surface of the instrument.
These were some easy tips which will help you to learn about the daily care of your guitar. But sometimes the instrument acquires some marks as well as scratches or damages which are beyond repairing by home remedies. In that case you have to take the help of a professional to get back the original finish.

The beautiful actress Eliza Dushku posed nude for FOX's new show called "Dollhouse" and Dushku also has some hot photos in Maxim. Read more on Eliza Dushku's role on Dollhouse below.
Many Joss Whedon fans are very excited about the new "Dollhouse" show with Eliza Dushku playing the role of Echo.
So what about Eliza Dushku's sexy nude photos for the promos of the show. Well here is Joss Whedon's take on things:
"The premise of the show involves these men and woman being hired and obviously some of that has to do with sex. This is something that was in the premise from the start. It came from my conversation with Eliza. We wanted to talk – she mentioned herself "" about sexuality in whatever show she was doing. Not just by virtue of her being all hot but by really examining human sexuality and why it drives us and why it's important to us and the idea of objectification vs. identification. These are all things that I've been working on all the time.
I didn't actually know that tagline was in there, I had just heard, "˜Oh, they released those photos.' So I didn't know that. It brings up what is ultimately what is the touchiest issue of the show, which is are we actually making a comment about the way people use each other that is useful and interesting and textured or are we just putting her in a series of hot outfits and just paying lip service to the idea by asking the questions?
I think there are going to be things that people react to differently. I think some things will offend some people. I think that some things will not. There are things in it that I'm not positive I support. Some of the things that bother me don't bother any of the other writers. That's something that I've been a little bit afraid of but I haven't shied away from because part of the point is to look at these grey areas and to see what of this is innate in us. What is it we from need each other? How much do we objectify each other? How much do we use each other both men and women? What is actually virtuous?
One of the problems that I ran into early on – and this was the only sort of the real dissonance between me and the network – was they didn't want to deal with those issues. Having bought the show, they didn't want to have to deal with the idea of, what they are now clearly marketing, the sexy side of it. It's sort of a classic network problem: they want to evoke this but not necessarily say anything. You don't want to be specific about it. We struggled with that. We struggled with making sure the show doesn't by virtue of playing it safe become offense. The idea of this show is to never play it safe. The idea of this show is to always be in your face about it."
Check out these photos of Eliza Dushku from Maxim Online below and tune in to Dollhouse this Friday, February 13th at 9pm.

HAMBURG (Dec. 19)
A British military court here today sentenced Nazi Field Marshal Erich von Mannstein to 18 years imprisonment following his conviction on nine war crimes charges including failure to protect Jews and other Soviet citizens who were shot, hanged, gassed and drowned by Gestapo troops operating in his command area during the war.
Von Mannstein was acquitted of eight other counts, including charges that he authorized and permitted the mass killing of Jews and other racial groups and that he authorized and permitted the transfer of Jews to Gestapo installations knowing that the Jews would be exterminated. The Nazi Field Marshal refused to plead for mercy. The British have announced that von Mannstein's trial, the 938th of a German war criminal by a British military court, ends the war crimes prosecution in this zone.

In fact, they expect as many as 2,000 pages of documents to come late in the day, maybe even as late as 7:00 tonight. All they understand from the Justice Department is that these documents will be e-mails and other internal pages that could provide "additional insight" into just why these U.S. Attorneys were fired."

HELP! Windows wont open new window maximized
When i open ie8, it is maximized. New windows I opened were also maximized, but all of the sudden, if I open a new window in ie8, its not maximized as it used to be. I've tried maximizing the new window, then closing the old maximized window using control+file/exit (also tried control+file/close tab), followed by closing the new window the same way, and nothing seems to work!

I don't believe either of your solutions pertains to opening a "new" window when IE8 is already open. IE8 already opens maximized (run was already set to maximized). It's the subsequent "new" IE8 windows (right click>open link in new window) that open "normal"/smaller. That's what I'm trying to solve. Thanks!
|My System Specs
|11 Mar 2011
I'm not sure this is an actual fix or not, but close everything out then open ie8. This should bring up a maximized window for it. Navigate somewhere and click a link to open in a new window. When that new window opens (most likely not maximized), grab each corner and stretch it to fit full screen. Now, close the original window, then close the window you just resized. Open ie8 again and open a link in a new window and see if it kept the full screen settings.
|My System Specs
|11 Mar 2011
Sometimes you need to program the window to hold it's desired size by clicking the maximize box in the top right center a few times. Do this after sizing the window where you want it to open.
But even then sometimes IE8 will not hold it's size no matter what, requiring a small program called AutoSizer to be kept in Systray.
BTW it's much more efficient with System Resources to open a new tab instead of a new Window, using the tab settings in Internet Options.

Restylane® and Perlane® are cosmetic fillers that are injected into areas of decreased volume that show up in your face over time due to aging, smoking and the effects of gravity and sun. These fillers are hydrophilic and the purpose is to add volume, thus diminishing or almost completely eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. These techniques are also used in conjunction with plastic facial surgery. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body and provides volume and fullness in the skin. Over time, women lose this substance 33% faster than men. Restylane® and Perlane® are modified to provide a volume-enhancing effect that will last longer than what would be expected from "naturally" occurring hyaluronic acid found in the body.
The Restylane® brand is the top selling dermal filler in the world. To date, over 1.4 million treatments of Restylane® have been done in more than 70 countries. The results of Restylane® last about 6 months, although studies show that with one repeat injection, results can last up to 18 months. The FDA has given Restylane® an 18-month duration approval time frame, provided a specific application pattern is provided. This can provide on-going "full correction" for up to the specified time frame, thus keeping you satisfied longer, cutting down on re-treatments and costing you less in the long run.
Perlane is specifically designed for deeper lines and wrinkles. Many times both fillers are used at one session depending on the correction required. Your provider will recommend what is best for your concerns. The goal is to get you the longest duration possible. Your provider will also prepare you for the injection with an anesthetic block, numbing cream, or ice. There are numerous areas that are possible for treatment, including lips, nasal folds, and marionette lines around the mouth and under the eyes. Cheeks and other areas can also be enhanced with Perlane®.
Juvéderm® is the first smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm® injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds, the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth). Hylacross technology gives Juvéderm® its unique smooth-gel properties as well as an optimal gel structure that holds up over time.
Juvéderm® injectable filler is the only hyaluronic acid filler that is FDA approved to last up to one year with initial treatment.
Juvéderm® provides a smooth, natural look and feel-so everyone will notice (but no one will know). In fact, studies show superior results of Juvederm compared to a collagen-based dermal filler. Juvéderm® has been used to treat numerous areas, including lips, nasal folds, cheek enhancement, and marionette lines around the mouth and under the eyes.
Sculptra Aesthetic. Not an overnight miracle. Long lasting. Not a quick-fix. The first facial injectable that gives you subtle results over time. Replacing lost collagen. Giving you a natural-looking appearance, without giving you away. A full treatment of Sculptra Aesthetic, an average of three injection sessions over a few months, can last more than two years.
Sculptra Aesthetic is a type of facial injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, which helps to replace lost collagen. It helps correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles, and folds, that appear with aging by replacing lost collagen. The main ingredient is a biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material that has been used by physicians for decades.
RADIESSE® is a dermal filler that is indicated for hand augmentation to correct volume loss in the back of the hands, and for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth).
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age.
One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there is a noticeable improvement in moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows. The benefits can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein, produced by the clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause frown lines that form over time.
In 2006, almost 3.2 million procedures were performed with FDA-approved BOTOX®. No anesthesia is required, although you may choose to have the area numbed with a cold pack or anesthetic cream prior to the injections. The most common side effects following injections include redness and nausea.
BOTOX® is also FDA approved for excessive underarm sweating (primary axillary hyperhidrosis) that is not adequately managed with topical agents. BOTOX® neurotoxin treatment helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands do not receive chemical signals, the excessive sweating stops.

Dysport is a simple, effective, non-surgical treatment that works by relaxing facial muscles on the forehead, thereby reducing and smoothing away frown-lines and wrinkles.
Whenever you laugh, frown, concentrate or squint into the sun, your facial muscles contract and your skin creases. As you get older your skin loses its elasticity and those creases deepen into lines that become permanently etched on your face. Frown lines between your eyes can become particularly noticeable at a relatively young age, making you look angry or worried even when you're not.
By temporarily immobilising the muscles you use to frown, Dysport can smooth out those lines, restoring a more youthful, less stressed expression to your face. Because you will be physically unable to frown after treatment, you may even lose the urge to frown. The lasting effect of treatment with Dysport can differ between individuals after which further courses of treatment may be necessary. Speak with your specialist about the results you can expect with Dysport.
Many people find after several treatments that they don't need another one for longer, because they have "unlearned" the habit of frowning or squinting that originally led to the development of these lines.
Dysport is a protein extracted from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The protein was initially used for the treatment of motor disorders and various kinds of involuntary muscular spasms, including cerebral palsy. It was further developed to treat a wide variety of neuromuscular disorders, for which it is licensed in over 60 countries.
In New Zealand, Dysport now has registration approval under the Medicines Act for the treatment of frown lines and for excessive sweating under the armpits.
Tiny amounts of Dysport are injected directly into the facial muscles underlying the frown lines. It usually takes three to five small, almost painless injections between the eyebrows for an effective treatment. No local anesthetic is usually required but if you are concerned your doctor can numb the skin over the area before injecting. You can expect treatment to take around 10-20 minutes.
Over the next few days, the muscles gradually relax. You probably won't notice it happening – you'll just become aware that you can't contract your frown muscles. But because you can still blink normally and raise your eyebrows, you will not look unnatural. Rather, you can enjoy a more youthful appearance while maintaining a natural expression.
Deeply etched frown lines affect not just your appearance, but also your self-esteem and even your choice of career. Dysport can help you look younger, more relaxed and in control – for around the same price per month as a cut and colour by your hairdresser.
Many people with frown lines can benefit from Dysport– and it can work as well for men as it does for women. In fact many men are already experiencing the benefits of a younger, more relaxed looking appearance that Dysport can provide. Discuss with your specialist about the benefits of Dysport for you.
Artefill® was developed to provide patients a long lasting solution for the correction of wrinkles. It is an FDA-approved non-resorbable wrinkle filler used by plastic surgeons and dermatologists for the correction of smile lines. Artefill is different from temporary dermal fillers which are eventually absorbed by the body and require repeat injections. The PMMA microspheres in Artefill are not absorbed by the body. These microspheres provide a permanent supportive foundation for long-lasting wrinkle correction. Artefill is injected underneath the wrinkle, just above the skin's fat layer. The treatment itself is similar to that of temporary dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvéderm. It involves injections with a fine needle over a few minutes. Patients resume normal activities immediately and most patients require 1 or 2 treatments, depending on the depth of their wrinkles and folds.

Protest Song of the Day: '10 Frisk Commandments' by Jasiri X
To recognize the power of protest music, acknowledge its role in keeping dissent alive and how musicians translate social issues and systemic problems into song, The Dissenter has launched a daily feature that highlights a protest song every weekday.
Over 8,000 stop-and-frisks are believed to occur every day in New York. The Nation recently posted a short documentary that included secretly captured audio of a stop-and-frisk action, where officers who were likely ordered to harass a young Hispanic male stopped him and told him they would arrest him for being a "fuckin' mutt."
"I've been stopped and frisked for years," Jasiri X raps. "They treat us like we animals/I'm so used to it/I wrote me a manual/A step-by-step booklet/So you can get/Through your stop and frisk/Before they cock and spit."
Rule #1 is don't carry a gun, "even if you got a license." Make the slightest move and the police will "empty every round of their clip til you're lifeless." Don't make sudden moves is Rule #2.
Rule #3 is don't trust police. "These cops will set a brother up/Gun 'em up/Then coverup/Whenever they run amok/And come to bust on one of us/It's never justice/Because it's always just us." Rule #5 is, "Never talk back/When they talk smack/Even if they call you a nigger man/Be the bigger man."
During the first three months of 2012, New Yorkers were stopped by police 203,500 times. Eight-nine percent of those stops—181, 457—were totally innocent. Fifty-four percent of stops were of blacks (108,097). Thirty-three percent of stops were Latinos (69,043). Only nine percent were of whites (18,387).
Jasiri X's song is part of the movement to end stop and frisk practices in New York. He recently performed the song at a rally for NYPD accountability and community safety (Talib Kweli introduced him).
But as he tells people, this policy of stop and frisk is in Pittsburgh too. So, the song is for all people of the United States and the world, anyone who has ever been targeted and harassed by police in their communities or thinks they may leave their home tomorrow or the day after that and be targeted and harassed by police.
The Dissenter will be putting one of these up every weekday morning. If you have requests for songs that should be featured or if you have a protest song you recorded, which you would like to see featured, email email@example.com.
And all previous Protest Song of the Day selections can be found here.

Bush and Dole, meanwhile, wish their ranks were as Machiavellian. The GOP's two best hopes have soft-pedaled the abortion issue in hopes of keeping the party tent big enough to win in November; now they're getting called on it. The National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, an abortion-rights group, said Monday it is launching a television-ad campaign this week in Iowa and New Hampshire that will "expose" Bush and Dole's real antiabortion views. With Pat Buchanan, Dan Quayle and Steve Forbes raising Cain against them from the party's right wing, and NARAL scaring women into Gore's arms from the left, Bush and Dole may discover by the time next November rolls around that the Republican middle is a lonely place indeed.
Gore Gets Daschle, Bush and Dole Get Busted
WASHINGTON: Al Gore may be trailing both George W. Bush and Liddy Dole in early opinion polls for the 2000 presidential election, but he's having much better luck than his Republican rivals in keeping his party in line behind him. Gore got a rousing endorsement Monday from Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, the second big name to get on the Gore train since ally-for-now Dick Gephardt got on board last week. The loser: Bill Bradley, who still hopes to topple Gore by rallying the party's many disaffected liberals against the Clinton-Gore machine. Those liberals, however, are deserting him in droves -- for 2000 at least, the presidency (by way of a united party in the primaries) is coming way before principles.

Dispose of that Christmas tree in a responsible manner and help Fortuna-based Girl Scout Troop 10636 raise money for educational activities. Volunteers will come to your home and pick up the tree for a small donation, using the proceeds for two days of learning at the Sequoia Park Zoo and on board the Madaket.
The trip to the zoo is planned as a "behind the scenes" visit so the troop members can learn about the many furry, feathered, and other creatures which call the Eureka zoo home. No date has been set, but will be determined once fundraising has been completed.
The trip on the Madaket will also be selected soon, and will include a special guided tour of Humboldt Bay, with educational tidbits provided by a Humboldt State University Wildlife student.
The troop hopes to raise $300 from the Christmas tree fundraiser to pay for the educational activities, which will assist the members in earning Girl Scout badges.
For a donation of $10 in the Fortuna area and $15 in the Eureka area, troop representatives will pick up your Christmas tree. All donations are tax deductible. Schedule a pick up between now and Sunday, January 5th by calling 498-9882.

"Not Having a Spine Is the M.O. for Current National Democrats, But Pulido Goes Above and Beyond This."
It is clear that Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido and City Councilman Carlos Bustamante crossed the line [R. Scott Moxley's "Shell Game," Jan. 29]. Both need to resign now. Why wait for the indictments? I hope that the rest of the Santa Ana City Council will condemn them.

I would donate my left gonad to see this beady-eyed slime of a politician go down once and for all. His dealings have always been suspect, as has his unwillingness to show any spine whatsoever. Not having a spine is the m.o. for current national Democrats, but Pulido goes above and beyond this. He is the Establishment, the status quo, a cacique, an opportunist, a piece of mierda.

Jim Stanaland's letter of support of our general manager and board of directors is what best sums up the situation at the Sawdust Festival [Nick Schou's "Sawdust-Up," Jan. 29]. Jennie Riker and a small minority of the festival artists fail to see the larger picture.
I'm sure they think it would be wonderful if we could go back to the stress-free days of living on the grounds and smoking pot all day. Sorry, but those days were gone long ago. The "founders," whom the dissatisfied artists speak of so fondly, are the ones who turned the Sawdust Festival into a not-for-profit corporation. We are not a loose band of hippies plying our trade for sale to the like-minded. We are professional artists who sell to the entire community, including families.
Our general manager has a difficult and crucial job of making necessary cuts and adjustments to ensure our financial viability and to see that we are in compliance with the law. The board of directors' and manager's silence on the personnel issues should in no way be deemed as covering a conspiracy, but as following the law regarding privacy of personnel records.
If the OC Weekly is interested in reporting the true sentiment of the "family" of Sawdust artists, they could conduct a poll, as I have informally. It will show that the majority of professional artists at the festival are supportive of Tom Klingenmeier and our current board of directors. If this majority is less vocal about our support of the manager and board than the minority is about their dissent, perhaps it is because we are busy with our successful art careers and have less time to spend creating conspiracy theories.

I live in Huntington Beach, and for the past few years, I have taken a walk on that pier almost every day; I have yet to see this "collection of skinheads and convicted criminals" passing out fliers [Gustavo Arellano's "Skinheads In Suits," Jan. 22]. I have not seen a true skinhead down by the pier in years! The only bald heads I see are sported by Hispanics. Is his imagination or persecution complex getting the better of him? I do, on the other hand, see quite a few bald-headed Latinos fishing without licenses.

I can't believe ANYBODY—white, brown, black or Asian—cares that much about being the majority or minority. We're all Americans, human beings, and it shouldn't matter which group is on top because that should not dictate our behavior toward one another. Since whites are (or will be very soon) the minority in California, do we get special minority protections and treatments? I think it's safe to say that pure numbers isn't the right way to judge whether we have equality.

Tampa Bay Rays
Rays' Vogt won't blame ump if hot spring cools
PORT CHARLOTTE - Tampa Bay Rays utilityman Ben Zobrist has a hard time believing catcher Stephen Vogt once umpired a minor league baseball game while a member of one of the teams playing in the game. "No way did that happened," Zobrist said. It did. "And he was in uniform?" Zobrist asked.He was. "I don't believe that," Zobrist said. Believe it, because there are witnesses, such as pitcher Alex Cobb, who was a teammate of Vogt on the 2009 Charlotte Stone Crabs. "He did a pretty good job," Cobb said. "He blew one call, but it was in our favor." Vogt, Tampa Bay's minor league player of the year in 2011, is having an impressive spring for the Rays with the bat, hitting .346 with a .414 on-base percentage. He is forcing his way into the conversation about what the team should do at catcher, if not to start the season than certainly as the season moves along. Vogt also created headlines this month when he co-starred in a Carlos Peña video production by doing a spot-on imitation of Rays manager Joe Maddon talking about wine. But Vogt's finest moment in Port Charlotte may very well have been that Sunday afternoon when he came off the dugout bench to impersonate a professional umpire. It happened in August 2009, during the first game of a doubleheader with the Palm Beach Cardinals at Charlotte Sports Park. Home plate umpire Matt Cunningham was struck in the arm by a foul tip and left the game to go to the hospital. Vogt, on the 60-day disabled list because of a shoulder injury, told Stone Crab manager Jim Morrison that he umpired Little League and Babe Ruth League games and even intrasquad games while playing at Azusa Pacific University. Morrison asked Palm Beach manager Tom Spencer and A.J. Johnson, who was the other half of the two-man umpire crew. Both agreed to let Vogt – in full Stone Crab uniform – umpire the bases for the remainder of the seven-inning game, which the Crabs won 3-2. "That's the wackiest thing I ever heard," Zobrist said. Then maybe we shouldn't jump ahead to a game later that year when another home plate umpire suffered an injury at Charlotte Sports Park and a replacement was found among the 200 or so fans in attendance. "A professional baseball organization that has to have an injured player and a fan as their umpire in the same year is pretty weird," Cobb said. What do you think of that, Ben? Wacky? Vogt would argue his was wackier. "That's the wackiest, having a player in uniform, mind you, a Stone Crabs uniform, umpiring first base," Vogt said. The excitement of being able to finally contribute to a game overrode any case of nerves Vogt might have felt when he took his position and realized he wasn't making calls in an intrasquad game. "Umping is a different job in baseball. You have to pay attention at all times," Vogt said. "I got all of them right except one, and right when I made the call I was like, 'Oh, darn it.' I knew it right away." That the blown call – a bang-bang play at first base – favored the Stone Crabs didn't prevent Vogt's teammates from giving him the business from the first base dugout. "We were definitely heckling him, that's for sure," Cobb said. Vogt said he wasn't shy. He barked out his calls like he'd been doing it for years. "Oh, yeah, I had good mechanics. I definitely had good mechanics," he said. "Nice and to the point. Nice and simple. That's how my game is on the baseball field, so why would my umpiring be any different?" Cobb wasn't surprised his teammate handled himself well in his new and short-lived role. "Vogt can do a little bit of everything," Cobb said. But Vogt couldn't do the second game. Another umpire arrived in time to work home plate. "If that's true," Zobrist said, "then he has to be the first umpire invited to major league camp." "I could quite possibly be that," Vogt said.

Meaningful Beauty - This is the worst company to deal with
n 03/05/2011 I purchased the 30 day trial starter kit of Meaningful Beauty products to try out.I used the product for 2 weeks but did not feel that it lived up to all the hype so I returned the 30 day kit which I paid $46.65 via USPS and paid for delivery confirmation.
Their "policy" is, if for any reason you're not completely satisfied, just return the containers within 60 days of receipt and you'll get a full refund of the purchase price (minus shipping and handling costs). I also called them on 4/3/2011 and told them I did NOT want anymore shipments and the customer "service" told me I "he took care of it" and I "wouldn't be charged anything else." On the same day, I got charge on my debit card for another $ 46.65 and I called them back again they told me the package might still in the warehouse so it might take about 4 to 6 weeks to get my full refund BUT they will going to charge from my debit card for another $46.65 even WAS ACCOUNT CLOSED.
I called Meaningful Beauty on 4/24 2011 to request my refund on all my money but the not so helpful and rather rude customer service person told me they never got the shipment returned to them and that he had not intentions of refunding my money.
I discovered that this "situation" is a common practice for them. Over and over they "claim" to have "never received" the returned shipment.
This is consumer FRAUD and I wish file a formal complaint $93.30 that was charged to my debit card.After /5/02/2011 totals charge from my debit card will be $139.95.
Great Comment! Would You Like to Convert It Into Review?You will be able to edit the text before publishing.
Terms of Service
hello yes I would like to say that with the meaningful Beauty system when you get that first starter kit you must call them to let them know you don't want them to send out the next one cause it will go out with you not knowing I learned that the hard way to and all it is a misunderstanding it is really know biggie.....but yes you are on a 28 day billing cycle for your shipments to go out and you can also set it up for when you get you skin care shipments...
here is an example say you get a 3 month supply on Friday the 18 what you do is call them on the 19th and tell them you got your shipment and don't want them to send out another kit till you call them in October they would need you to call them to customize your next kit but is far as if they don't do the refund you go through your bank and tell them that you returned the items and the didn't refund your money and the bank will handle it from there this has happened with other company's I've had to deal with myself I am sorry your going through this
I did want to help you by giving you an idea of how Meaningful Beauty billing system worked some people get a little confused some think after you did your 30 day trial that they wont send you another wrong the will send the same kit but bigger and it is for 3 months........
I hope everything works out for you and good luck frome Jenn hope you have a wonderful day....
Well I had the same situation today.I saw it on tv, called in and ordered it and then 15 minutes later called to cancel bc of these reviews and the woman said ur not even in the system you'll have to call in 2 days.
Well I called a half hour later and got the same woman, same response. Then a few hours later my credit card was charged! I called and what do you know I AM in the system just now they say I ordered the product not today but three days prior so they cant cancel it because its being shipped. I fought with probably ten ppl and they said that now there were TWO orders i placed by me!!
All I can do is ship it back they said.This company is disgusting and an absolute disgrace to human kind!
After ordering the Meaningful Beauty starter kit, at 1:12 pm today, and then decided to check out customer reviews, I called back within 17 minutes to CANCEL the order!!
THANK all of you for your comments. It's too bad I didn't do my research until after I placed the order! The infomercial with Cindy Crawford is convincing as well as the $ back guarantee promise!
BTW (Meaningful Beauty customer service was unable to cancel my new, first time, order because it is Sunday!)
the skin care product is good people use it for different things I use it as a skin softening treatment and my husband saw a big difference I live in the desert and it gets hot and dry but it has been very humid here but I have been using this for awhile and I am happy with it so far........But yes it is better if you call Monday-Friday you get to take to someone on the phone but they are really nice in working with you and getting your money back if your unhappy and if they don't refund your money you go through the bank and the will handle it for you that is what people do not tell you not even your bank!But I have had this problem with other company's in the past like with make-ups cause I have to do specialty orders on all my skin care needs cause my skin is really sensitive I understand why people would be unhappy with the products or the way things are handled and that can be a pain in the butt to deal with........
But I am always willing to help someone who is having a problem it is frustrating enough and then not to have someone help you I know that feeling I can give you an idea of how this hole thing works and also how the billing cycle works....
I hope that I was some help but if not and you have a question I can help with just about anything ........the name is jenn

I'm about to blow your minds with a blogosphere first: guest blog within a guest blog. Did your head just explode? Sorry. As I mentioned, I'm a bit unqualified to give design advice, but I'm lucky to be surrounded by talented friends and family, like my brother-in-law, James. He's not only a caring husband and father to two boys, but he's the owner of Flowers on Main. Let me tell you, his floral arrangements aren't just pretty; they're art! I put back on my reporter cap and interviewed him about fall floral care. Then, I asked for a free arrangement.
MD: Why are flowers so essential to celebrating seasons?
James: Flowers are always for the moment. Flowers are the crowning jewel of any holiday; they bring colors, textures and fragrances you can't get any other way.
MD: How can you make your flowers live longer?
James: The biggest killer of fresh flowers is bacteria in the water. To maximize vase life, always use professional floral preservative in your water. If none is available, add a teaspoon of Clorox to a quart of water. Make sure that your bouquet has plenty of water. Flowers drink a lot more when they are not in a collr. Change the water when it looks like the water is getting cloudy. This is also a good time to recut the stems with a sharp knife. This will reopen the path for more water uptake.
MD: What are some good fall flowers?
James: Mums, lilies, gerberas, roses, hypericum berries, leaves, branches, hydrangia, sunflowers, rovers, safflower, coxcomb, purple majesty, kale, solidego, artichokes, just to name a few.
MD: What's your favorite flower?
James: I love most any flower when it's in season and at its peak of perfection.
MD: Very diplomatic.
MD: Want to put in a shameless plug?
James: Sure. You can find us online at www.flowersonmainstreet.com.
MD: Did you mention your shop is inside a cozy, vintage home?
James: No, I didn't, but it is.

As fans of most NHL teams salivate at the prospect of selecting future stars in the 2013 draft, it's a bit of an anti-climax for Rangers fans. The Broadway Blueshirts traded away their first and second round selections in the hopes of a 2013 Stanley Cup title which never happened. Without a pick until a trio of third-round selections, the Rangers find themselves in the curious position of sailing far below the media spotlight. Yet there are several big moves New York could be pulling in the coming few days which could seriously shake up the hockey universe.
Buy Out Brad Richards?
This is nothing against Brad Richards. He is of impeccable character and plays a solid all-around game. Despite his disastrous 2013 regular season and even more painful playoff performance, at the age of 33 he is certainly capable of enjoying a bounce-back season, especially with the jettisoning of tight-fisted tyrant John Tortorella and the coming of a more offensively-minded coach in Alain Vigneault.
Still, Richards is owed $6.67 million through 2020, by which point he will be 40 and Chelsea Clinton will be President of the United States. With the salary cap ceiling coming down from over $70 million to $64.3 million next year with the new CBA, the Rangers find themselves in a bit of a cap crunch. Key Rangers Ryan McDonagh, Derek Stepan and Carl Hagelin are all RFAs heading into the off-season and due substantial raises. Even more pressing is the list of Rangers unrestricted free agents following next season: the Rangers heart in Dan Girardi, their soul in Ryan Callahan, and of course their franchise, Henrik Lundqvist.
As much as it will hurt both financially and emotionally to part ways with Richards the fact remains that he is a luxury, not a necessity, for the Rangers. The emergence of Derek Stepan and Derick Brassard at center makes Richards expendable, and General Manager Glen Sather sorely needs the potential cap room afforded by a Richards buyout to work with.
Could/Should The Rangers Trade Up Into The First Round?
As has been emphasized in this column, the Rangers have a great deal of salary concerns to address in the near future if they are to remain perennial contenders in the NHL. They have drafted extremely well since hiring Gordie Clark as director of scouting in 2006, getting huge value with mid-first round selections of Chris Kreider and J.T. Miller and the later-round picks of Stepan and Hagelin. The Rangers could very well strike gold with one of their three third-rounders, perhaps hitting a home run with potential boom picks like defenseman Brett Pesce or forward or a high-upside forward like Zach Sanford. Even so, do the Rangers have an expendable asset now which could net them an early pick in the 2013 draft, largely considered the most talented class since the ballyhooed draft of 2003?
I'm going to go out on a proverbial limb and say they do. I'm going to go out on another proverbial limb and say to whom.
It is an oft-reported theory that the Carolina Hurricanes are willing to trade their fifth overall pick for help on the blueline now. It is a well-documented fact that the reason the 'Canes are drafting so high is largely because their defensive corps were so porous last season. And it is a much-established certainty that the Carolina front office has been working diligently over the past few seasons to acquire every Staal the NHL has to offer.
Could the Rangers use the Hurricanes' desire for a Staal-opoly to get the fifth overall pick in a stacked draft? I'm saying they certainly can. Staal is an excellent player, a terrific defensive defenseman who is aces with the outlet pass and serviceable in the offensive zone. But the 'Canes need that type of player far more than the Rangers, who have a similar player in Girardi and a potentially superior one in McDonagh. In addition, New York has a pair of extremely talented young offensive-minded d-men in Michael Del Zotto and John Moore set to play their first season under new head coach Alain Vigneault, under whom Vancouver witnessed the blossoming of similar talents like Christian Ehrhoff and Alexander Edler. Furthermore, physical defensive defenseman Dylan McIlrath, Sather's first-rounder in 2010, is signed and set to vie for the 2013-14 Rangers' squad.
No doubt, Staal is a heck of a hockey player, but his penchant for for being on the receiving end of serious injuries in the past couple of seasons is somewhat concerning. The Rangers could give themselves more salary breathing room and potentially a top prospect if they could offer Staal to the Hurricanes in exchange for the fifth overall pick in this year's draft.
If the Rangers were to sweeten the pot with one of their three third-rounders, it is a reasonable assumption that Carolina would pull the trigger. At fifth in the draft, Sather could tab a future franchise center like Sean Monahan or Elias Lindholm, perhaps a future franchise winger in Valeri Nichushkin. All three aforementioned players appear ready to play in the NHL immediately. Or, the Rangers could invest in a future stalwart defensive defenseman with more physicality and upside than Staal like Darnell Nurse or Nikita Zadorov.
It will certainly be interesting to see what the Rangers do at the 2013 draft. What is important to note is that they have more options than has been widely reported. We will all see how Sather feels about the future of the club over the coming days.

Mediating Resource Management in the Mi'kmaq Fisheries Canada
Gretchen Fox explores how the recent entry of Mi'kmaq people into the commercial fisheries after a legal decision upholding their treaty rights is affecting negotiations over fisheries management, as well as shaping local orientations to the development of Mi'kmaq commercial fisheries. She suggests that the development of successful and sustainable commercial fisheries must take into account local communities' unique histories, knowledge and practices. Development (2006) 49, 119–124. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100285

HUDSON — John Mason was watching television about 8 p.m. Sunday when he heard the loud crashing of broken glass and a man's yells.
"I looked out my window and this guy was smashing a toilet against my neighbor's front door," said Mason, 60.
After the toilet had shattered, the man hurled porcelain chunks at the front door. Then he ripped electrical wires out of the meter box before smashing the plastic piping of the front yard water well on Palatine Drive, according to Pasco County Sheriff Office reports.
Mason told the man to leave the house, which belongs to his nephew, 44-year-old Grady Miles. Authorities later identified the man as Kenneth Charles Stuck. They say Stuck, 46, went on the rampage because Miles was taking too long on a beer run.
Earlier Sunday evening, Stuck and Miles were drinking beers in the front yard. Stuck gave him $6 to buy more.
Miles took off on a bicycle, pedaling through the summer heat while Stuck waited.
A witness told deputies he saw Stuck pacing in front of the house, then he grabbed the toilet in the front yard.
Stuck caused an estimated $500 in damage to the home. But this wasn't the first time, authorities said.
In February 2009, officers arrested Stuck for trying to punch passing cars on U.S. 19. He told them he was going to buy more beer. He later pleaded no contest to a charge of disorderly intoxication.
Stuck was arrested Sunday on a charge of criminal mischief and was taken to the Land O'Lakes jail, where he remained Monday in lieu of $150 bail.
Mason and his nephew have spent the last month fixing up the house. Pieces of the project were being stored outside. The toilet was going to be installed sometime soon.

PCSO promotes roadway, boating safety
Article published on
Friday, May 24, 2013
LARGO - As part of the annual Memorial Day safety campaign, Pinellas County deputies will maintain a high profile on the waterways and roadways to help ensure a safe holiday for citizens and visitors.
The holiday weekend begins Friday night, May 24, and continues until midnight on Monday, May 27.
Patrol deputies will be on the lookout for impaired drivers and ask that motorists exercise patience and caution on the busy roadways.
The Sheriffs marine unit and environmental lands unit will also be highly visible this weekend promoting boating safety and protecting the community and environment from the great volume of vessel traffic. They will be enforcing state, federal and local laws on the waterways.
Vessel safety equipment inspections will be conducted on all vessels stopped, and operators observed for alcohol and drug impairment. It is illegal to be impaired while operating a vessel.
The purpose of the enforcement effort is to reduce or eliminate injuries and deaths associated with holiday traffic and boating crashes in Pinellas County.
In addition, marine and ELU deputies will conduct Operation Kid-Float, a life jacket loaner and boating safety awareness program for children. The Marine Unit recommends that all children wear a personal flotation device while underway and that PFDs be readily accessible to all occupants of a vessel.
PFDs are available to the public on a loaner basis. The jackets may be picked up at four locations:
Dons Dock located at 215 128th Avenue East in Madeira Beach (on Johns Pass).
John Chestnut Park located at 2200 East Lake Road S. in Palm Harbor.
Dunedin City Marina located at 51 Main Street in Dunedin.
Fort De Soto Boat Ramp located at 3500 Pinellas Bayway S. in Tierra Verde
Deputies will also have PFDs on board and will hand them out as needed following boat safety equipment inspections. Citizens are to return the loaner PFDs after their voyage at the PCSO Marine Facility drop-off bin located at 19305 Gulf Blvd. in Indian Shores.

ST. PETERSBURG — The two men had a long-standing feud.
The dispute between John Alfred Johnson and Ben Ware had been going on for several weeks, maybe longer.
On Saturday, witnesses said, it flared up again and eventually exploded when Johnson shot Ware several times near a neighborhood grocery store at 18th Avenue S and 37th Street.
Minutes later, Johnson, 49, was shot by police officers three blocks away after authorities say he ran away and refused to drop his gun. He told officers he "was not going back to prison and told them they would have to shoot him," witnesses said.
Johnson, who worked for the city's Stormwater, Pavement and Traffic Operations Department, died at 8:11 p.m. at Bayfront Medical Center. His most recent arrest was in 1990, when he got a year's probation for carrying a concealed weapon, records show.
Ware remained hospitalized Saturday with injuries that weren't life-threatening, his 59th birthday.
"It's sad," said Joe Bryant, 55, a lifelong city resident who came upon the scene on his way to visit a friend. "It's very sad. If the guy (Johnson) hadn't brought a gun to the fight, there wouldn't have been any shootings."
Officers were sent to the first scene, 36201/2 18th Ave. S, about 2:30 p.m.
"We received a call of a fight or brawl," police spokesman Bill Proffitt said. "When the officers arrived, a shooting took place."
Corey Cohen, 40, was part of a small group that witnessed the first shooting.
He said the two men had been fighting earlier but Johnson, whose nickname is "Smoky," had walked off.
"He left and … came back with a gun," Cohen said.
Johnson threatened to kill Ware and then pointed the gun at his face, police said.
Other people in the group tried to calm Johnson, Cohen said, but he said he was "tired of dealing with it."
As police pulled up, Johnson fired a .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol. "He waited till the police came, then he shot him about three, four times," Cohen said.
After the shooting, Johnson began walking down 18th Terrace S, an alley that runs between 37th and 38th streets.
Several officers gave chase, but he didn't stop, Proffitt said. Police yelled at him to put his gun down.
"The officers gave several challenges," he said. "The man refused to respond or turn around."
As Johnson neared the intersection of the alley and 38th Street, he turned and faced the officers, the gun in his hand, Proffitt said.
Patrol officers George W. Graves, 26; Michael F. Karayianes, 26; and Michael J. Romano, 29, fired at Johnson. He was hit twice in the stomach and once in the hand, Proffitt said.
The shooting stirred tension among residents, whose opinions about the incident varied. Some were angry that an officer had shot the man. Others who were closer to the first scene said the blame belonged to Johnson.
Rico Hernandez, who saw the second shooting, said he had just stepped out of his house to smoke a cigarette. As he looked to the back alley, he saw a man being chased by police.
Hernandez, 22, said the man appeared to surrender and had both hands up just as police opened fire.
"He didn't have no gun in his hand," said Hernandez. "So they had no reason to shoot him at all. Period. Tase him or something."
Tammy Jackson's house faces the alley where Johnson was shot. Jackson said she didn't see him get shot, but she knew him. He occasionally came over and drank beer in the yard with her fiance.
"My opinion? He was a pretty nice guy," she said. "He never caused any problems that I know of."
His gun, which was recovered at the scene, had one round in the chamber and additional rounds in the magazine, police said.
Three investigations are under way. The officers who fired their weapons will be placed on paid leave for two days. After that, they will be on restricted duty until the conclusion of an administrative investigation.
"We have to really look at the situation and get the whole deal," Bryant said. "But here's the key thing: Somebody brought the gun down here to do the initial shooting."
Times researcher Shirl Kennedy contributed to this report. Kameel Stanley can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or (727) 893-8643.

I'm sort of curious as to where both MC Casual and SW&D fall in the list. There is probably some overlap, though I imagine most of the SW&D don't qualify. The thought occurred when sugarbutch stated that t-shirts don't have a place on the MC Casual thread (which might have more to do with giving something the viewer can take away than level of formality) *Probably not IT firms though. Anything seems to go there (not that there is anything wrong with that). I have a few friends who work at one of the three largest web hosting companies in the US; one wore a chipmunk costume for casual Friday or some such a few months back...and he is not on the tech side of things.

USGP PP Announcement
Greens and fellow eCitizens,
First and foremost, I want to let it be made official, I am not seeking the Presidency of these eUnited States! To the Social Democrat party, thank you for your supposed support, but please support another candidate. Why is my name and picture up on the candidate screen you ask? The USGP POTUS Primary has not yet concluded, and I do not wish to garner similar criticism for changing allegiances as I did last election. Why am I not running? Well, as Astra Kat so eloquently put it, I'm not experienced enough to be POTUS, rather than any suggested incompetancy.
In concluding, anyone who was planning on voting for me, please don't. Please defer your judgement until the USGP has selected a candidate to endorse.
As always, onward!
USGP President
why is your avatar nader? you know he basically got ousted after 2000, a lot of people in the party thought he needed to endorse gore. but he ran on principle, and the world paid for it...

Rachel Weisz and Bill Nighy to star in BBC spy thriller Page Eight
Rachel Weisz,
Bill Nighy and
Ralph Fiennes are among an all-star cast set to appear in new BBC drama Page Eight.
Renowned playwright David Hare has provided the script for the spy story and will also direct it.
Michael Gambon , Judy Davis, Ewen Bremner, Saskia Reeves and Tom Hughes are also among the cast for Page Eight, which tells the story of an MI5 officer who embarks on an investigation to discover what the contents of a file left behind by his dead boss mean.
Nighy plays Johnny Worricker, the MI5 operative, while Weisz takes on the role of political activist Nancy Pierpan.
Hare, who received Oscar nominations for his screenplays for The Reader and The Hours, describes Page Eight as a contemporary spy thriller.
'The last decade has been as testing as any in the history of the British intelligence community – the compromises and dilemmas they've faced in the new century make a fascinating story,' he said.
'I'm thrilled to be working with such an extraordinary ensemble of great actors.'
Viewers can expect to see Page Eight on BBC Two later this year.
