Yesterday we covered what I would argue was Arnold Schwarzenegger's MANLIEST MAN moment in cinema history.
Said moment involved exclamation of the word "bullshit," followed by the Austrian death machine hurling a steam pipe through an Australian girlie man's torso.
That was MANLY MAN moment #9.
Now I ask you, just what the fuck kind of Top 10 MANLY MAN moments would place something as epic as the finale of Commando at #9?
A really MANLY fuckin' list, that's what!
While the next MANLIEST moment may be somewhat lacking in epic savagery when compared to it's predecessors; it more than makes up for it in epic ballsy-ness and courage.
In that sense, our 8th MANLIEST MAN moment happens to be that one time in A New Hope when the apex of pimp himself, Han Solo, literally went solo and randomly bum rushed the fuck out of a battalion of Stormtroopers:
(Apologies for the very much unwarranted Chariots of Fire, it was the best I could find.)
You see, while Arnold utterly dominates the MANLY realm of badassery and epic savagery, Harrison Ford's Han Solo represents a different school of MANLINESS.
Sure, Harrison Ford can't throw a decent punch to save his life, but that's why it's called "acting."
Han Solo's what you'd call a "loveable asshole."
He's a silver-tongued pistolero that wears his ego on his sleeve and tries his damndest to put his foot in the cooch whenever the opportunity presents itself.
While any other character would just seem like a epic frat boy douche-rocket in behaving like this, perhaps Han Solo's greatest strength as a character is that, while he's certainly one scruffy looking scoundrel; there's an inherently heroic and admirable person visible beneath all of it.
I suppose it's also pretty awesome that his MANLINESS gives him the power to SHUT PEOPLE THE FUCK UP just by raising a finger:
MANLY powers aside, the one thing that always put Han Solo over the top in my book of MANLINESS, was his ability to improvise and succeed on gut instinct alone.
When faced with the threat of having his ship blasted to pieces by a surprise attack from incoming TIE fighters, 'ole Han just kind of shrugs his shoulders and says:
When forced to impersonate a Stormtrooper over an intercom in a desperate attempt to salvage his and the other Rebel's infiltration into the Death Star, Han doesn't just manage the task; he even takes the time to casually throw in a courteous "We're fine, how are you?":
That's just how Han Solo rolls.
Off the cuff or from the hip, he rolls with the punches and always seems to come out on top.
Which brings us to the MANLIEST moment in his career, and the 8th MANLIEST moment in all of movies.
Not long after the above sequence wherein Han, Chewie and Luke utterly beast the shit out of the security staff of detention block AA 23, the 3 of them rescue Princess Leia and flee into the sewer duct.
After much hilarity and drama involving a nasty dianoga getting frisky with Luke,
as well as the walls of the chamber being set to "compact," the 4 heroes escape into the main corridors of the Death Star.
Unfortunately, the section of the space station that they happen to escape to just happens to be crawling with Stormtroopers.
While most men would turn tail and run in the face of overwhelming odds like this, Han Solo immediately caps one of the troops square in the chest and then proceeds to CHASE AFTER the remaining half dozen or so HEAVILY ARMED soldiers!
If that wasn't badass enough, 'ole Han doesn't just run the sons a bitches down; he charges after them screaming at the top of his lungs like some crazy-ass William Wallace motherfucker.
It may take some serious balls to single-handedly face down a whole squad of armed soldiers, but it takes giant-ass titanium gonads of MANLINESS to fuckin' rout them and then successfully chase their asses down.
Unfortunately, as is often the case for people who aren't Arnold Schwarzenegger, the MANLIEST course of action proves to be far from the wisest for Han Solo.
After chasing the Stormtroopers for some time, wailing like a fuckin' Jewish banshee all the while; Han turns a corner to reveal horrifying sight:
Unfazed by the pants shitting-ly terrifying white and black wall of blaster toting death before him, Han attempts to overwhelm the Stormtroopers with the power of his MANLIEST of MANLY faces:
Despite the awesome power of Han's MAN-FACE, the Stormtrooper's collective morale holds fast, allowing them to miraculously power through it's demoralizing/penis shrinking effects.
Immediately sensing that his gambit has failed, the ever resourceful Han Solo quickly falls back on his go-to plan "B", that of shooting first and aiming/asking questions later:
With yet another Stormtrooper felled, Han makes the wise choice not to get greedy with his kill-streak, instead choosing to fall back and regroup with his compatriots.
Narrowly escaping from a hail of laser fire, Han Solo meets up with Chewie around the corner, and the 2 escape to the annals of MANLY sci-fi/action movie history.
Thanks for reading MANLY MAN moment #8, check back for #7 tomorrow!
Happy Easter everyone!

I grew up drinking milk, we all tolerated it—loved it. Even had raw cow and goat milk for a long while. Made butter & cottage cheese now & then. For about three decades, now, I drink it almost never. A few times per year and I've gone years without drinking any.
I just got out of the habit, most likely from my five years in Japan where it was either not to be had or was some incomprehensible, sweetened & flavored abomination. No culture I can recall drinks milk as a beverage with a meal as Americans so commonly do, even into adulthood. But I dunno. I love ice cold, whole milk. I just don't drink it often. When I do, it's almost never with a meal, just as a beverage or, a "meal" in itself.
So after many months of none, I'm on a kick this week. Which is nice. There's something about whole milk that just improves every marker for me in terms of feel good, well being, energy, satiation, and so on. Yea, milk isn't Paleo—supposedly—but I wonder about something, too. It's a complete food. It's the exclusive nutrition not for just a mammal, but a growing mammal in its most critical stage of life—those first years. And: Exclusively! And so I wonder. Do you? Did you just hear "milk isn't paleo" and said, "well, that's that; the priests have spoken?" But is it "not paleo," necessarily, because it's unhealthy to drink if you tolerate the lactose, or something else in the evolutionary scheme?
I could go out and look up a complete comparative nutrition profile on cow, goat, or sheep milk…compared to human milk. What do you suspect I'll find? Differences, but not a fuck of a lot. Probably similar macro ratios, give or take. Probably similar vitamins, minerals, and specific aminos that promote growth.
But here's something you might not have thought of: milk is in liquid form and as such, is highly bioavailable. Everything is bioavailable. If you can handle the lactose, chances are it's the most easily digestible food there is. It's designed to be. Hell, it's even designed to drink, and go right back to sleep.
As all familiar with the whole milk deal—by which I mean the whole deal and not whole milk—know, lactose intolerance is the norm; a natural mechanism to wean, and tolerance is a mutation about 8,000 years old that has quickly spread across the globe and marches on (because, milk is fucking nutritious and an excellent use of cattle).
So here's my quandary. How is milk bad for you if you can tolerate the lactose? It was supposed to be your exclusive nutrition for your very first few years and now, it's bad, awful, unhealthy? ….And we're not even talking about exclusivity. 200-400 or more calories of milk per day is going to be bad for you!?
How about stop and consider the evolutionary purpose of weaning. Was it because milk is overnight a bad thing for you; or, rather, is it because the mother needs to get on and get ready to bear another offspring? Seems obvious to me.
Here in the Bay Area I've tried the raw milk from both Clarvale and Organic Pastures. I prefer the taste of the latter. Then I recently found this.
Saint Benoit
It is simply the best milk I have ever tasted. It's 100% Jersey and as such, has 2 more grams of milkfat per 8 oz than the holstein milk from those other dairies. Here's the website. It's pasteurized, but at the minimum 145 degrees. Not homogenized. You have to shake it and the cream mixes easily, just like the raw milks and unlike Strauss cream top.
It seems to me that if dairy is at all part of your nutrition, why deny yourself the tastiest part of it—if you like that sort of thing? Nope, not talking about exclusivity like when you were a little thing and not even necessarily as a regular thing. But now and then? A quart per day over a few days, then leave it alone? Something like that? For me, it's hard to mistake the enhanced feelings of well being and energy with a few glasses of that per day.
Food for thought.

Cars powered by hydrogen could reach consumers in 2 years
French industrial gases company Air Liquide said Monday it was teaming up with a Toyota subsidiary to build filling stations for fuel-cell electric vehicles in Japan.
With fuel-cell vehicles expected to reach the consumer market in 2015, Air Liquide said it and Toyota Tsusho will create a new company to particpate in a push to build 100 filling stations in and along major highways between four major cities within two years.
Fuel cells generate electricity from the conversion of hydrogen into water, thus producing no pollution, but a network of service stations with the gas must be created. The company plans to build next year two hydrogen filling stations in the Japanese capital, Air Liquide said in a statement.
The country aims to have in place a network of 100 stations in and between Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka in place by 2015.
Air Liquide handles production, storage and distribution of hydrogen, and said it has already built more than 60 hydrogen filling stations for fuel cell vehicles throughout the world.
Toyota Tsusho handles the energy-related business of the Toyota Group, which includes the carmaker.

Yesterday morning, I called Richard Levine to discuss his photograph of a family group possibly posed at Painted Woods, ND.
I featured the photo and the mystery in last week's column.
Levine has known about this photo for only a few months. His cousin Sally showed it to him and told him that her mother said it was taken at Painted Woods. There are a few inconsistencies in this identification, though.
Richard's ancestors, Joseph and Anna Confeld, immigrated from Kishinev, Bessarabia in 1885, and settled in Painted Woods.
Another set of Richard's ancestors, Barouk and Hannah Dorfman, also lived in Painted Woods. The Dorfmans were among the first settlers to the area in 1882.
Both families lived there only for a few years and then moved to Minnesota.
Richard and Sally thought that since family said the picture was taken in Painted Woods, it must date from the 1880s. Last week, I looked at the clothing details and determined the original image dates to circa 1900. This generates some questions.
The photo might not be of the Painted Woods community. In fact, by 1900, most of the Jewish settlers had moved elsewhere. The 1900 federal census for the community enumerates a number of Scandinavian families living in the area.
If this picture was taken in Painted Woods, Richard needs to determine why the family would return to the area. Could it be a family reunion, a wedding, or a funeral?
One of the big problems is a lack of comparison photographs. I suggested comparing the faces in the group portrait with other photographs in the family. Unfortunately, Richard lacks images of family members. He's hoping that someone will read this column and either have photographs of Painted Woods or of the Confelds or Dorfmans.
Richard's research turned up a first-person account of life in the community. Joseph Steinman (related to the Dorfmans) wrote about the hardships of life on the North Dakota frontier. It's at the Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest.
Another resource worth investigating is William Sherman's Jewish Settlement in North Dakota Collection at the Institute for Regional Studies & University Archives at the North Dakota State University Libraries. (Click here to download a PDF finding aid for the collection.)
If anyone is interested in reading about daily life on the northern frontier, I suggest Rachel Calof's Story: Jewish Homesteader on the Northern Plains (Indiana State University, 1995). It's an amazing true story.

Every office worker knows at least one bit of clichéd business-speak that they would be happy to never hear again. These include "think outside the box" or "paradigm shift" which, one assumes, are terms meant to make the speaker appear visionary or inspirational.
Heddi Cundle, founder and CEO of the San Francisco-based travel gift card company MyTab, has such a term that she loathes —"go big or go home." She hates it so much, in fact, that her employees are forbidden to use it, and she keeps a snappy retort on hand for anyone unfortunate enough to utter it within earshot.
"I tell them to cough up funding so we can go big," she said. "If they balk at this, I usually tell them to go home."
Members of the business community were asked if there were any other sayings they hear around the boardroom (or the water cooler or the neighboring desk) that they found particularly egregious. They were only too happy to chime in, and CNBC.com e-mail inboxes overflowed with responses.
Read ahead and find out what they had to say, and what you should never say around them.

Twitter's Michael Sippey Explains the Prescient Vine Acquisition (Full Dive Video)
At its heart, Twitter is the simplest of products, but these days, the company's product head Michael Sippey oversees all sorts of things: Search and relevance, discovery, and new forays into short-form video and music.
Speaking at our D: Dive Into Mobile conference in April, Sippey noted that his world is a mobile one.
"Product at Twitter means mobile at Twitter," Sippey said. "It's all I think about and it's all the team I work with thinks about. We started seven years ago as a mobile company, the service was initially SMS; we complemented that with a website that has attracted a lot of users; and now the shift has happened, the majority of our usage comes from mobile devices."
While Twitter works to provide consistency across its core apps, it's also finding new ways to shake things up. Sippey's chat with AllThingsD's Peter Kafka focused largely on Vine, the six-second-video app that Twitter bought last year before it had even launched, and has quickly soared to the top of the app charts since launching in January.
Vine, which is popular all over the world, hasn't fallen out of the top five U.S. iOS app downloads since the beginning of April, according to App Annie.
During that time, the Twitter app (which, to be fair, many people already downloaded in the past) has hovered between No. 25 and No. 50.
Finding Vine — and bringing it to where it is now — is definitely something to gloat about. Sippey said he and Twitter CEO Dick Costolo jumped on the deal after Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey saw the product and fell in love with it.
"We saw this and said, they've solved this problem in a really interesting and compelling way," Sippey recalled, noting that Vine includes neither a record button nor a play button.
"The beauty of what the team did is, they took advantage of the fundamental unit of filmmaking, which is the cut, and integrated that into the product so that you can actually tell stories, pretty sophisticated stories within a six-second time frame," Sippey explained.
"And then they made it really simple to consume them, so it's a simple follow model, and with the trending hashtags and the explore section, you can actually find great people and find great content and just scroll through and enjoy Vine after Vine after Vine."

Illegal parking a concern at the Zone 3 Public Safety meeting
The Feb. 20 Zone 3 Public Safety Council meeting began with news the traveling road show is back: the monthly committee meetings will be held in different communities on the third Wednesdays, starting in March.
Crime prevention Officer Christine Luffey announced news of the 15th annual "Biscuits Bingo," a fundraiser for local animal welfare organizations presented by the Pittsburgh Police.
The family-friendly event will be held on Saturday, April 6, at Guardian Angels, 1030 Logue St, West End. Doors open at 10 a.m., with bingo starting at noon. No smoking is permitted.
The cost is $20, and tickets can be purchased at the door with cash only.
Anyone who brings a food item for the shelter pets will receive a special prize from Officer Luffey.
For more information, call Theresa Sekely at 412-901-4771, or Officer Luffey at 412-488-8425.
Last year, Biscuits Bingo netted $19,223, its highest total yet.
Next, Officer Luffey asked committee members to send her a "wish list" of three solvable problems in their respective communities.
Ken Wolfe, public safety council president, asked members to compile their lists for the next meeting.
"Once they're solved," Officer Luffey said of the problems, "we can get three more things."
The evening's discussion began with Tom Brady of Mt. Washington expressing his anger about the illegal parking on both sides of Kambach and Judicial streets, and which poses a public safety danger, he said.
The previous Sunday a fire on Kambach St. damaged three houses. Due to the illegal parking, the fire trucks could not pass through, and the nearest three fire hydrants could not be utilized.
City Councilman Bruce Kraus said there is a need for regular enforcement and clear signage in the area.
Building inspection also needs to be involved for cases in which an excessive number of people reside in single-family residences, thereby taking up multiple parking spots.
Mr. Brady asked why the illegally parked cars are not towed.
Mr. Wolfe said with a Second Class designation, Pittsburgh does not have the powers of a First Class city like Philadelphia.
Council does not direct the police, Mr. Kraus said. Instead, he suggested Mr. Brady attend meetings of the Mt. Washington Community Development Corp., and call 911 and 311.
"If there are 500 calls something will be done," he said.
Mr. Brady said the vehicles parked between Kambach and Judicial streets are sometimes one-to-two feet from the curb, which compounds the problem.
He is concerned about fires as large fire trucks cannot fit down the streets.
Mr. Kraus said the South Side Slopes have small, specialized trucks.
"There is room for fire and other public safety officials at these meetings once in a while," he said.
He also said to call 911 and respond "yes" when asked if he wants to speak with an officer. For illegal parking, give the color, make, address and any other details about the vehicle.
Mr. Wolfe said he would facilitate a meeting in Mt. Washington between Zone 3 Commander Catherine McNeilly, and fire and other public safety officials.
When Commander McNeilly joined the meeting, Mr. Brady asked what will happen if there is another fire and fire trucks cannot reach the site?
"If there is a fire, it will take a life.
"It's got to stop," he said.
The commander said every street in the city has a parking problem "as we have outgrown the space."
There are not enough officers, and they do not have the time, to tag illegally parked cars, which does not solve the problem anyway, she said.
Instead, a plan must be designed, such as permit parking.
In Key West, for instance, every house has one spot that goes with the home, and is numbered. The owner must find somewhere else to park a second or third car.
Mr. Brady said motorists often park on yellow lines, in front of hydrants, near stop signs, and other such infractions.
Mr. Kraus said without clear signage, citations for those violations are often thrown out in court.
Commander McNeilly said her complaint is that parking enforcement should be the job of the parking authority, and not the police.
Mr. Kraus said, at best, there are 11 to 13 police officers on a shift, and the commander must prioritize.
"We are not discounting what's important to you," the commander said.
On another topic, Mr. Kraus said the so-called "Florida loophole" has been closed which allowed Pennsylvania residents who were rejected for gun carry permits because of their character or criminal background to apply in Florida. If Florida granted the permit, Pennsylvania had to accept that judgment.
He called it "a step forward on responsible gun ownership."
He recently attended a town hall meeting to discuss guns. He said there appears to be "ample willingness" within the state to consider lost-and-stolen handgun legislation.
A "lost or stolen firearms" ordinance the city passed a few years ago requires an owner to report a lost or stolen firearm after discovery of its loss or theft.
Its aim is to crack down on "straw purchasing" in which people who pass criminal background checks buy handguns for criminals who are legally prohibited from possessing them.
But the state, whose rules supersede, rejected adopting such a proposal.
The next public safety meeting will be on March 20 in, tentatively, the Overbrook fire hall on Route 51.

David Bowie's 'Dark Knight Rises' Has Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, & Eyeballs on Plates
After a four-year buildup and heaps of fan speculation, The Dark Knight Rises turned out to be a tad disappointing. Maybe it was the lack of a villain as captivating as The Dark Knight's Joker. Maybe it was a somewhat convoluted opening act, with sociopolitical plot turns that didn't really amount to much. Maybe it's because there were no eyeballs on plates and people bleeding from the hands. That seems to be David Bowie's opinion, anyway. The music artist has released a video for his new song "The Next Day," planting TDKR stars Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard in haunting, brow-raising roles and it's left us with a brilliant (or harebrained – take your pick) theory.
Playing a cantankerous, lecherous priest and a lady of the evening, respectively, Oldman and Cotillard are a far leap from their Nolan characters… but perhaps only at surface value. Sure, Bowie claims that this is simply a video for "The Next Day" (the title song from an album that he has referred to as "vampyric," "Balkan," and "osmosis" … don't ask), but maybe this is the cinephile's own attempt to make the Dark Knight Rises he would have wanted to see:
The scene: Gotham, eight years after the events of The Dark Knight. In Bowie version of the film, corruption reigns supreme, and Batman keeps to the shadows. Once good men like Commissioner James Gordon have succumbed to the drink, turning to God for answers but only tumbling deeper into a well of despair and debauchery. Figures of prosperity, like Wayne Enterprises board member Miranda Tate — who traveled to Gotham to avenge her torturous childhood — have fallen victim to their own greed, wrath, and pride, decaying to subhuman levels in the destitute metropolis' underbelly.
And as once great figures like Gordon and Tate are robbed of their blood and will, we see the newest Batman villain rise up in the form of Bowie. A charismatic, Satanic figure, Bowie represents the cunning of R'as al Ghul, the ruthlessness of Two-Face, the unpredictable strangeness of the Joker. So we wonder, which villain is the music artist portraying here? What character in the Gotham universe can envelop all of the darkness embodied by Arkham's leviathan of patients?
Simply: Batman. No one, not the Joker nor Bane, has more darkness inside of him than Bruce Wayne himself. As such, Bowie's "Next Day" represents the ultimate transformation from hero to villain. Not only is Bowie's Dark Knight falling, he's taking his entire city down with him.
Jury's still out on that lady with the crazy eye-lashes, though. Poison Ivy? Sure, we can go with that.

The Bible and Jesus clearly speak of giving money to the church and in turn fellow Christians should give up all they have and look out for one another.
So my question is why does this not happen now a day. I know many in my Church who tithes a lot (I do it myself) but it saddens me that my same Church would probably not give me a grant of money If I suddenly lost my Job or something.
Why has this has happened?
From the days of Paul, Jesus and Timothy to now the church now (was outside of the world) and now it appears (the world is in the church).

As Sisters in Zion (arr Davis)
Music for Women, Submitted Music
1. As sisters in Zion, we'll all work together;
The blessings of God on our labors we'll seek.
We'll build up his kingdom with earnest endeavor;
We'll comfort the weary and strengthen the weak.
2. The errand of angels is given to women;
And this is a gift that, as sisters, we claim:
To do whatsoever is gentle and human,
To cheer and to bless in humanity's name.
3. How vast is our purpose, how broad is our mission,
If we but fulfill it in spirit and deed.
Oh, naught but the Spirit's divinest tuition
Can give us the wisdom to truly succeed.

Article content
The thing about the Memorial Cup is that you're probably playing with or against some guys who will one day play for the Stanley Cup.
But there are also guys playing here to whom this IS their Stanley Cup.
This is their ultimate.
This is their pinnacle.
This is their moment.
Luke Bertolucci of the Edmonton Oil Kings figures to be one of those players.
And if it turns out that he is, boy, is he making the most of his moment.
Bertolucci scored the key goal to turn the series around after the Oil Kings lost the first two games and were down 2-0 against the Portland Winterhawks in the Game 3 of the WHL Final.
And he's the little guy who scored two more big goals here Sunday night to seal the deal in a 5-2 win over the London Knights.
Bertolucci, 5-foot-8 and 175 pounds, only managed to manufacture eight goals in 104 career regular season games.
He now has scored 10 in 42 post-season games.
"I don't know if I just get excited for the playoffs or what," said Bertolucci of his numbers.
"But I noticed that, too.
"Now I have to figure out my regular season and I'll be good to go."
Asked if he has an adrenalin thing that kicks in, he didn't think about it for even a second.
"Definitely. You grow up watching the Stanley Cup playoffs. You see that every game is such a big game. You just want to be in that situation and try to take advantage of it," he said.
"You never say never with a kid," said coach Derek Laxdal of the 19-year-old right winger who didn't get selected in his draft year last year and isn't on any of the lists this year unless he's put himself in play in the last couple of weeks here, which is possible.
"I learned that lesson when I played. They said guys would never make the NHL and they do," said Laxdal.
"For some of these kids, it could be their Stanley Cup. But at the end of the day it could be the spring pad that launches for a much greater career. You never know. Confidence is huge for these kids. If you have success here, maybe you get an opportunity to go to a training camp and open up some eyes.
"He plays a hard game," he said of the Trail, B.C., product.
"If you look back he was a 10th-round pick in the bantam draft but he played an important part on that team in the B.C. Cup back when he was 15.
"He's the type of kid who just goes. He doesn't quit. And one thing I really liked in the last one is that you could see the intensity in his game and the velocity of his shot. I don't think he's had that type of confidence in a while."
The photo of the expressions of absolute joy, with everybody on the bench just beaming for the guy as Bertolucci returned to the bench after scoring Sunday night told another part of the story.
"Aw, that was awesome," said the kid, beaming himself.
"I got a lot of support, not only from them but from family and friends."
And as to whether this is his Stanley, he said you have to live the moment.
"I don't know what my future holds. I've been blessed so far. I'm not worried about it. Hopefully I can make an impact somewhere, but I'm not worried about it. I'm just hoping to help my team win right now."
He knows his size is against him but he said if you watch him enough you know he plays bigger than his stature.
"I'm definitely not worried about that. I don't think because I'm a lot shorter than the next guy that I'm going to back down. I think like I'm the same size."
He says he sees himself as a Brad Marchant or a Brendan Gallagher.
"They both work really hard. They're both gritty. They both don't back down."
Bertolucci says whatever happens here, he's making sure to savour every second.
"Absolutely," he said. "One hundred per cent.
"I haven't had this much fun in hockey in a long time. Just being out there with the guys on such a big stage. It's been unreal. I'm just soaking it all in. On the ice. Off the ice. You look around at all the festivities. It's been a lot of fun. And I'm definitely looking forward to the next few days."

Mex.. Oct. 22.—<l'.P>—Federal columns, ordered to "shoot first and question later," were boring into the heart ol Sonora's warlike Altar district tonight. In an effort to smash insurrectionist activities. Return of Gov. Ramon Ramos to Hermo5illo, capital city of Sonora, according to reports reaching here, virtually flung down a battle gauge to rebellious ranchers and insurrectionist bands, which now control a vast portion of northern Sonora through political overthrow of municipal officials. Challenge Answered Insurrectionists had demanded Ramos' removal as basis for cessa- ( tion of rebel raids, and the govern- j or's return from Mexico City, cou-i pled with the swift movement of federal troops, was interpreted as j the retort of President Lazaro Cardenas to the rebel challenge to state j authority. i Gen. Juvenito Espinosa, due to ar-| rive at Nogales tonight, will assume | command of all federal troops in . Sonora, following an order from j I President Cardenas relieving Gen. | I Juan Zertuche, former military I Icommander of Sonora. American military observers saidj Iroads south of the border were! 1'teeming with federal troops.'' Bridges Are Burned American passengers on a delay- j led Southern Pacific tram, which larrived here 16 hours late, said railroad bridges had been burned in the [Santa Ana district, near the center if insurrectionist activities. Three bridges were burned, but ■damage was only slight and they |were repaired quickly, according to sfficial reports. Another was burned near Hermosillo. Reports from the south said Col. Manuel Chavez, in command of military forces in the Magdalena district, had been relieved and ordered fo report to Hermosillo. Agrarians were reported active rithin 30 miles of the border, but ispection of the area by military jservers disclosed no evidence of ay armed resistance. Two Arrested Reports from Altar said federal roops had arrested two supposedly lebel leaders named Pablo Rebeil pid Juan Caballero. The latter re-sntly was elected temporarily to a lunicipal office in the Altar district |o replace officials who fled when ebels raided the area. Louis Prima and his New Orleans Five will entertain today at the football rally.

Active members of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fraternity, judge campus girls on these points, and their decision is final LAKE CHARLES, La., Oct. 22— (Uii)—Striking union longshoremen battled imported port guards along six miles of waterfront today. Two guards were killed and nine wounded. Strikers claimed they had no casualties. Quiet was restored just before dark when strikebreakers were escorted off the docks and through picket lines to safety. Sporadic fighting continued all afternoon, with the situation completely out of control of deputy sheriff's. Appeal Sent Hoover Citizens appealed to both J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the federal bureau of investigation, and to Gen. L. F. Guerre, head of Louisiana's state police, for protection. Sheriff Henry Reid went to Baton Rouge to talk with Gov. O. K. Allen about martial law. The governor, however, was reported out of the city. The dead were William Bass and Lon Santon, both of New Orleans. Santon died in a hospital of a bullet wound in the stomach. Four others still were confined to a hospital with wounds. They are: Frank Crumbeugh, Julian Martin, Frank Miller, and William Blake, all of New Orleans. Five others were discharged from the hospital after treatment. All are white men. Guards Wounded The dead and wounded were special guards, brought here Monday to open the port by force and to protect strikebreakers. The port had been paralyzed since October 8 when the International Longshoremen's association called a strike on the west gulf coast. Shippers arranged for the Louisiana Longshoremen's association, an independent group, to take over the dock work and imported the 75 guards, all heavily armed and bearing state police commissions, to escort them through union picket lines. Strikebreakers Opposed A force of 700 pickets was lined up to oppose the strikebreakers. Fighting started at noon when San ton tried to run a truck load of supplies to the docks. Pickets fired on him. Port guards returned the fire and the battle was on. Pickets blocked all roads during the fighting, including a section of the old Spanish trail leading to Texas. Rice trucks and cars of curi- ous onlookers flanked the road. A westbound bus was held up for an hour. No one was allowed past the picket lines as the opposing camps exchanged fire. Workers and the guards were prisoners on the docks, surrounded by picket lines bristling with guns, clubs, and knives.

GymEquipment.co.uk works hard to bring you a wide range of the best training and fitness accessories out there in the market. We only work with leading manufacturers and brands and whether you prefer cardio, strength or more functional training, we can supply you with the right equipment. Training accessories are often essential to allow you to perform certain exercises, so don't overlook them. From Power Bags and Kettlebells through to dumbbell racks or Swiss balls you can buy them now.
Fitness accessories really do come in all shapes and sizes. What they will do hopefully is make your workouts varied and enjoyable and ultimately more effective. So whether it's an accessory that helps your strength training, cardio workout or flexibility, check out our suggestions and our buying guide to ensure you get the right accessory for what you need. Below is a sample of the type of accessories we sell at great prices and of course quality!
Powerbags are essentially weight training equipment. They are popular as, unlike other weight training equipment, they are soft and flexible, which minimises injury to the user. For home gyms they are also very forgiving on home flooring. The soft composition has also made them popular with those working out after an injury. They come in a range of different weights from a 3kg powerbag to a 50kg bag.
Kettlebells are one of the oldest types of conditioning equipment there is. What makes them unique over traditional weights is in the dynamic nature of the movements. The two hand swing for example involves a squat and swinging the kettlebell up and in front of the body. The kettlebell can be used to increase strength, power, body tone, stability and rapid fat loss.
The medicine ball is a weighted ball ranging in weight from a few kg up to 11 kg. They can be useful to add weight to your squats, sit ups, leg lifts, essentially making these exercises harder. They are also used in Pilates, yoga and some aerobic classes so their use is quite wide, all depending on the weight and the outcome that is wanted. Lighter balls are also popular with those returning to fitness after injury.
Plymetric training is different to weight training in that it doesn't just increase the strength of the muscle, it increases the ability of the muscle to exert force quickly. Athletes find these very useful but if you are a novice do take care as you could suffer serious injury if you perform plymetric exercises incorrectly. Many of these platforms are a square shaped metal frame with a solid top-so looking like a small step. They can be used for step ups and for jumping exercises. Check for durable steel construction, rubber feet for stability, and a slip resistant stepping surface.
Battling ropes will help improve both your strength and explosiveness/endurance. In this sense they are often referred to as a great all round strength and conditioning system. When buying battling ropes check the available lengths, strength ratio and the quality of the handles. Some battling ropes also come with a heavy duty nylon fabric sewn into the centre of the rope to help prevent fraying. The main benefits of working out with battling ropes are that this form of exercise will enable you to burn fat quickly and build muscle.
Introduced in 2000 the BOSU has since become one of the most successful training tools. A dome shaped training tool it can be used either dome or platform side up (hence the name BOSU=Both Sides Up). It is used for balance, flexibility and cardio work. Great for abs, stepping over and squatting, walk over press-ups...the list goes on as there are endless possibilities to its use.
Boxing pad work will really push your cardiovascular fitness. It can also really help with coordination. Boxing gloves come in all styles and quality. When buying try to look for leather and a lining that will keep your hands dry whilst working out, wrist support and a Velcro fastener(its not easy to get boxing gloves off!). When buying pads do remember that they are the target, so-buy pads that will take a beating. So look for pads with a good density and those with an individual section for each finger can also be useful.

Shakespeare in bankruptcy
Below, Stanford Law School's Sina Kian recaps Monday's opinion in Hamilton v. Lanning, No. 08-998. [DISCLOSURE: Howe & Russell and Akin Gump represented the respondent in the case, but Sina was not involved in the proceedings.] In March, Professor M. Jonathan Hayes, who writes the BankruptcyProf Blog, previewed and recapped the oral argument for SCOTUSblog. Check the Hamilton v. Lanning SCOTUSwiki page for additional information.
Whereas Chapter 7 bankruptcy requires debtors to liquidate their assets, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows them to devise a schedule of payments under which they will keep their assets and pay creditors their projected disposable income (PDI) over a period of three or five years. The question before the Court in Hamilton v. Lanning was how a bankruptcy court should determine a debtor's PDI when the debtor's income or expenses change close to the date of confirmation "" no small matter in today's economy.
In defining projected disposable income, the Court had two choices. First, it could define the term "mechanically" "" i.e., multiply the debtor's past monthly disposable income, averaged over the preceding six months, by the number of months in a debtor's plan. Second, the Court could define it in a "forward-looking way" "" i.e., default to the mechanical approach, but provide bankruptcy courts with discretion to make appropriate adjustments "where significant changes in a debtor's financial circumstances are known or virtually known." In this case, respondent Stephanie Lanning would owe approximately $144 per month for sixty months if the "forward-looking" approach were used. By contrast, because of a one-time buy-out from a former employer, Lanning would have to pay $756 per month for sixty months "" a sum that both parties agreed she could not possibly afford "" if the "mechanical" approach were used.
The Court opted for the "forward looking" approach, with only Justice Scalia dissenting. The Court's opinion took a disciplined structure that almost resembled a play, divided into parts like acts, with the conflicts presented cleanly in narrative form. The form, almost cookie-cutter for this term's statutory interpretation cases (Hertz v. Friend, Jerman v. Carlisle), also repackaged and showcased the usual enigmas of statutory interpretation: a vague and (partially) undefined term, no clear congressional intent for those who look, and a trade-off between the simplest rule and a more flexible one. The sparknotes version of Hamilton v. Lanning is as follows:
Act I: The Applicable Text. The Court begins by focusing on the word "projected"; because Congress has not defined the term (either here or in other statutes using the word projected), the Court concludes that it should default to its ordinary meaning. In accounting, election coverage, and sports analysis, it reasons, a "projection" takes into account "other factors [beyond past events] that may affect the final outcome." This conclusion is supported, the Court notes, by the fact that elsewhere in the Bankruptcy Code, Congress mandates the mechanical-type multiplication by using the term "multiplied," rather than "projected."
Act II: Prior Practice Regarding that Text. Prior to 2005 (when Congress enacted the current version of the statute), there was a "widely acknowledged and well-documented view that courts may take into account known or virtually certain changes to debtors' income or expenses when projecting disposable income." Had Congress intended to overturn this practice, it would have done so expressly.
Act III: The Surrounding Text. Section III(B) of the Court's opinion then examines the context in which the term "projected disposable income" appears. The PDI is "to be received in the applicable commitment period"; it is to be determined "as of the effective date of the plan"; and it "will be applied to make payments." The first and third clauses suggest that the PDI contemplates a dollar figure that the creditor will actually receive. But if the PDI does not account for changes, it could produce figures that the debtor is simply incapable of paying (because, as here, the debtor could be assigned a greatly overstated PDI for having enjoyed a one-time windfall in the six months prior to filing for Chapter 13). The second clause "" by requiring bankruptcy courts to determine the value as of the filing date of the plan "" implies that those courts can and should take advantage of all information up until the filing date.
Act IV: Policy. At this point, the case became about individual bankruptcy under Chapter 13. Statutory interpretation is, after all, not just a Sudoku, but the act of breathing life into legislation. The problem with the mechanical approach worked in both directions. In cases in which the debtor's disposable income is substantially lower during the six-month look-back period, "the mechanical approach would deny creditors payments that the debtor could easily make." By contrast, when the debtor's disposable income is substantially higher during the six-month look-back period, the mechanical approach would create a figure too high, one that the debtor could not afford (as in this case); as a result of the artificially high number, the debtor will be denied Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection because under Section 1325(a)(6), a plan can only be confirmed if "the debtor will be able to make all payments under the plan."
The Court considered and rejected the four ways suggested by the Trustee to mitigate this anomaly: delay filing (risky and sometimes impossible), seek leave to delay filing and petition the bankruptcy court to choose a more representative six-month period (undermines the mechanical approach in an unnecessarily more convoluted way), dismiss the petition and refile later (could violate bankruptcy's good faith requirement), and seek relief under Chapter 7 instead of Chapter 13 (not clear how often it is actually possible, given the intricacies of Chapter 7).
Justice Scalia dissented. The Court's textual argument, he wrote in dissent, "either renders superfluous text Congress included or requires adding text Congress did not." The statutory definition of "disposable income" is superfluous, he contended, because bankruptcy courts are free to disregard it; the Court's conclusion that "disposable income" is still useful as a starting point has "nothing in the text" to support it. Moreover, even if the word "projected" could do that work, there is "no basis in the text" for authorizing forward-looking estimations only when the changes would be "significant" and either "known or virtually certain." To Justice Scalia's mind, Acts I through III act as a Trojan horse for Act IV, which bore "an understandable urge: Sometimes the best reading of a text yields results that one thinks must be a mistake, and bending that reading just a little bit will allow all the pieces to fit together." But that bending and tweaking is, in Justice Scalia's view, for Congress.

Snuff, or powdered tobacco, which comes from the plant Nicotiana tabacum, was introduced into Europe during the 16th century, having first been used by Native peoples of South America. Snuff-using quickly became very fashionable in Europe, and for the next several centuries elaborate containers were produced for men to carry on their person. This snuffbox, shaped like a globe, is a fine example of English Battersea enamel. It belonged to John Samuel McCord (1801-1865), father of David Ross McCord, the Museum's founder.
Keys to History
Snuff, or powdered tobacco, was introduced to Europe during the 16th century, after Europeans learned about it from the Native peoples in North America. Snuff-using quickly became very fashionable in Europe, and for the next several centuries artisans produced elaborate snuff containers for men.
This snuffbox, shaped like a globe, belonged to John Samuel McCord (1801-1865), father of David Ross McCord (1844-1930), founder of the McCord Museum. David Ross McCord incorporated his father's snuffbox into his collection of objects of historical importance. He considered artifacts to be subjects for research and integral to the finding of scientific truth. Well-instructed by his father on collecting and maintaining a collection, McCord kept meticulous documentation in order to establish the provenance of his artifacts.
Snuff-taking was considered to be a sign of a gentlemen in the mid-19th century. The sophisticated art of taking snuff involved inhaling a pinch of this special tobacco up the nose, then sneezing discreetly.
This snuff box is an example of English Battersea enamel. White enamel is applied to the two copper hemispheres, and a transfer print of a map of the world is over-painted on it.
This snuffbox is applied with Battersea enamel, named after the factory in York House, Battersea, London, where such enamel was thought to have been originally produced.
In the 19th century it was considered proper etiquette for a man to carry his snuff in a small, ornamented box such as this one.
John Samuel McCord (1801-1865), a Montreal lawyer and judge, was the father of David Ross McCord (1844-1930), founder of the McCord Museum of Canadian History.

A Collection Of Great Dance Songs, 5m 21sec
Pink Floyd
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue sky's from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
And how we found
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

It wasn't exactly a lights-out Super Bowl as the second half got under way Sunday night but CBS did its best work when the lights did go out.
It wasn't exactly a lights-out Super Bowl as the second half got under way Sunday night but CBS did its best work when the lights did go out.
A power failure at the Superdome led to a 34-minute delay in Super Bowl XLVII. The NFL on CBS team scrambled to find a live microphone and then produced a second, more-informative halftime show on the fly.
The long break breathed life into not only the San Francisco 49ers but also the telecast itself. A rather unremarkable production gained some life with astute analysis from the CBS studio crew and news gathering from the sideline reporters.
One problem with Super Bowl telecasts is the interruption by the halftime musical performances, limiting the studio crew to precious few minutes of analysis before the musical act begins. Still, Boomer Esiason, Shannon Sharpe, Bill Cowher and Dan Marino offered solid rapid-fire analysis.
"The 49ers are going to come back. They are too good of a team," Esiason said.
"You don't deviate, you do what you do well," Cowher said of the Niners game plan. "You have been here before. 'We were down 20-0 versus Atlanta. There is no need to panic right now."
The second half was only 98 seconds old when half of the bank of lights in the Superdome went out, also knocking out the CBS announce booth in mid-sentence. Apparently, the only live mic was that of sideline reporter Steve Tasker, who had to take the network through several anxious minutes before the studio crew could be recalled. Once that happened, they finally had time to show first-half replays and offer sound thoughts about what both teams should do with the Baltimore Ravens up 28-6.
"I think they will be fine," Sharpe said about coming back from the long layoff. "They are professional athletes. They know how to stop and re-start."
Sharpe added: "This is no time for San Francisco to panic. San Francisco does have to make a stop, though."
Colin Kaepernick led the 49ers on a scoring drive on the ensuing series. When Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco went out for his first play of the third quarter, CBS flashed a graphic that said 84 minutes had passed between taking him snaps. Baltimore failed to score, and play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz accurately read the situation.
"The Ravens are flat and not focused and the 49ers are ready to take advantage, ready to strike again," he said.
Sure enough, San Francisco rallied for 17 quick points and turned it into a one-score game.
Esiason accurately forewarned Baltimore needed to continue what it was doing in the first half or it might get in trouble.
"Stay aggressive, throw on first down," he said. "You have called a great game. Do not sit on it. Do not get conservative. That's how teams get back into games like this."
The Ravens turned more to their running game in the second half, but a couple of big plays set up the touchdown and field goal that was just enough to pull out the 34-31 win.
The opening montage, featuring Joe Namath, Don Shula and other Super Bowl champs, was a winner. Kudos goes to the production crew for sticking to the game, and not resorting to a series of shots of fans and the Harbaugh parents. The replays were crisp and focused on all the key elements. There were no true signature calls by Nantz, who did a very workmanlike job. Analyst Phil Simms needs to offer a bit more first-guessing on plays. Two cases in point in the first quarter: Simms noticed an illegal formation by the Niners, and then told the viewers, after a replay, he noticed it before the snap, but he hadn't said anything. Following Anquan Boldin's touchdown, Simms said, "I heard 1,000 times this week if the Ravens are around the 10 yard line, they want to throw to Boldin." How about citing that before the play and give the viewers something to watch for?
Simms offered "a good no-call" on the decisive final play by San Francisco when Michael Crabtree was tangled up headed into the corner of the end zone with 1:50 to play, but he hedged his bet a bit when he added, "It's hard to throw a penalty in that situation."

DETROIT (AP) - A former write-in candidate once thought to have little chance of surviving Detroit's primary election is favored to become the city's new mayor, a job with limited power as the debt-ridden city moves toward the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history under a state overseer.
The candidates were among the voters going to the polls Tuesday morning. Front-runner Mike Duggan, a former health care executive, and Benny Napoleon, the Wayne County sheriff, both oppose the Michigan takeover of city finances by gubernatorial appointee Kevin Orr.
'I'm going to try to shorten Kevyn Orr's stay,' Duggan told The Associated Press.
The emergency financial manager filed for bankruptcy in July and says Detroit's debt is at least $18 billion, much of it for retiree pensions and health benefits.
Detroit has undergone a sharp economic and demographic decline over six-plus decades, with the population falling from 1.8 million in 1950 to just 700,000, largely low-income residents today. That process has been brought about by a mix of global economic forces, political corruption and municipal mismanagement.
Duggan, an ex-county prosecutor and former chief of the Detroit Medical Center, said he wants to persuade Gov. Rick Snyder to craft a plan to resuscitate the city's fiscal condition.
Snyder has repeatedly defended his decision to put Orr in the driver's seat at City Hall.
'Detroit's fiscal crisis was six decades in the making,' Snyder said in a statement last week. 'My job is to make the tough decisions to resolve the problems we face today, not ignore them.'
Despite being kicked off the August primary ballot due to a residency issue, Duggan received about 48,700 write-in votes. Napoleon, the sheriff and a former Detroit police chief, was on the ballot and received about 28,300 votes.
'Didn't even have to write in this time,' Duggan said, smiling after emerging from the voting booth Tuesday morning.
A poll released last week showed Napoleon lagging well behind Duggan, who also holds an almost 3-to-1 fundraising and spending edge. If Duggan is elected, he would become Detroit's first white mayor since Roman Gribbs, whose term ended at the end of 1973. The city now is more than 80 percent black.
Napoleon, who is black, also predicted victory.
'Mike and I have always been fine. This is not personal. It's politics,' he said after voting Tuesday morning. 'At the end of the day, I'm going to win and he's going to lose.'
Current mayor and ex-NBA star Dave Bing did not seek re-election.
Both candidates campaigned on fixing Detroit's deteriorating neighborhoods and reducing the high crime rate in a city that struggles to respond to 911 calls on time. Detroit has more than 30,000 vacant houses and buildings.
On Tuesday, Duggan told reporters that if he's elected his first order of business will be calling the city's police chief Wednesday and working to improve police response time.
Larry Waldon, a process technician at a plastics company, voted for Napoleon, because he says the sheriff is truly invested in the city.
'I really think Mike Duggan would be a great choice short-term, not long-term,' said Waldon, 38, who believes Duggan wants to use the mayor's job as a stepping stone to higher office. He said Napoleon is 'the type who will be in Detroit for a while.'
Transportation company owner Mark Gibson, 51, argued that Napoleon was 'just part of the status quo,' and that Duggan 'is going to be the best man for the job.'
Either candidate would face challenges with any initiatives because Orr must OK all spending requests.
'I think they're kidding themselves if they think they are going to regain financial control of this city,' said Detroit-based bankruptcy attorney Kenneth Schneider. 'Even after Kevyn Orr, there will be a financial advisory board that will maintain control of the city's finances indefinitely. The first part for any new mayor is to accept that and work with the state on how to right this city's finances.'
Associated Press writers Mike Householder, Jeff Karoub and David Runk contributed to this report.
