PM decision on Heathrow 'could clash with senior Tories'
Theresa May will have to offer the Tories a free vote or give leave for Boris Johnson and Justine Greening to be absent from the Commons if she backs a new runway at Heathrow, a senior MP in the party has said.
Zac Goldsmith, who failed in his bid to become London Mayor this year, said the Foreign Secretary and Education Secretary would not back expansion of Britain's largest airport under any circumstances.
The pair both represent west London constituencies likely to be affected by Heathrow expansion and remain opposed to the idea, he said.
The Prime Minister is widely tipped to make a decision on whether to back a new runway at Heathrow or Gatwick, or both, next week.
The situation could prove awkward for the pair and Mrs May as Cabinet ministers are supposed to uphold collective responsibility and back the Government's decisions, including in Commons votes.
Mr Goldsmith, who has promised to resign as Richmond Park MP if Heathrow expansion gets the go-ahead, told BBC Two's Newsnight: "I can make a prediction that Boris under no circumstances will ever vote for Heathrow expansion, and nor would Justine Greening - both of them very senior, very valued members of the Cabinet.
"I speak to them both regularly, I spoke to Boris a couple of hours ago, and there is no wavering in his position and there is no wavering in Justine's position.
"They have big jobs to do, they may not be doing the media rounds, they probably won't be talking about Heathrow on Newsnight, but their positions remain absolutely unchanged.
"I absolutely know that.
"They are the major allies."
It comes after former chancellor George Osborne said the west London hub needs increased capacity so that Britain can be "outward-looking, free-trading and global".
Reports emerged on Thursday that ministers could back expansion at both Heathrow and Gatwick.
Mrs May confirmed last week that the Government would "shortly announce" a decision on which expansion project will get the go-ahead.
The Davies Commission recommended in July last year that a third runway should be built at Heathrow.
Other shortlisted options are extending the airport's existing northern runway or building a second runway at Gatwick.
The decision has been repeatedly delayed due to its political sensitivity.
Greenpeace has described expansion of both Heathrow and Gatwick as "the worst of both worlds".
Aviation Minister Lord Ahmad, asked in the House of Lords earlier this week whether the Government will consider supporting one of the two Heathrow options as well as Gatwick, replied: "As far as expansion is concerned, the Commission reported back on the need to increase capacity by 2030 with the addition of one runway in the South East, and that is where the Government's decision is focused."

The Brazilian and French Navies continue to pull human remains, wreckage and luggage from the ocean from Air France Flight 447.
The Airbus 330-200 was flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on June 1 when it crashed into the ocean, killing all 228 on board.
Six more bodies were delivered to authorities for identification on Wednesday, according to a Brazilian military briefing given on Thursday. A total of 50 bodies have been found. The Brazilian military, which is leading the search for wreckage, has said that it would refer to further findings as "mortal remains."
Autopsies of the bodies show fractures in the legs, hips and arms of the victims, the AP on Thursday reported. The AP report confirms previous reports from a Brazilian newspaper that surfaced on Wednesday.
A spokesman for Brazilian medical examiners told The Associated Press on Wednesday that autopsies revealed fractures on an undisclosed number of the 50 bodies recovered so far. The official spoke on condition he not be named due to department rules.
"Typically, if you see intact bodies and multiple fractures — arm, leg, hip fractures — it's a good indicator of a midflight break up," said Frank Ciacco, a former forensic expert at the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. "Especially if you're seeing large pieces of aircraft as well."
On Thursday the president of France's Senate, Gerard Larcher, told reporters in Brazil that he was sure that complaints about restricted French access to autopsies of victims is "a question that will be rapidly solved locally."

Egyptian Labor Joins in Protests
CAIRO — Egyptian labor contributed its presence in streets across the country on Wednesday, as workers protested low pay and injected a new variable into an uprising now in its 16th day.
Workers at companies in the textiles, cement, chemicals, transport, telecom and tourism sectors joined in wildcat strikes in Cairo and smaller cities throughout the country, blocking major highways and shutting factories.
Estimates of the number of laborers varied, ranging from as low as 5,000 to tens of thousands nationwide.
The central demand for most of the laborers is an increase to Egypt's minimum wage, which has remained unchanged at 35 pounds per month since 1984—about $6–and the legal right to form independent unions.
By law, individual Egyptian trade unions are organized by the Egyptian Trade Union Federation, which is an arm of the state.
Egypt's labor movement has been the sleeping giant of the past two weeks' protests, and its involvement could amount to a real fillip for the antigovernment demonstrations. The workers bring experience at protests and organization to the youth-led protest movement, whose efforts to extract major concessions from Egypt's government was beginning to stall as it entered its third week.
"People were always asking why [laborers] don't join our protests," said Ayman Nour, the head Egypt's opposition Al Ghad Party in an interview on Wednesday night. "Today, it was the right timing that both parties will become one. We're organizing with them from now on."
Nour said he and other opposition leaders had been "coordinating" with laborers. But just as the wider protest movement began without a clear central authority, the laborers' decision to strike on Wednesday can't be traced to a single source.
Most Egyptian companies were closed last week due to the nationwide unrest. Employees trickled back to factories and offices early this week emboldened by news of the sweeping protests.
The decision to strike was taken separately by individual companies, said Rahma Refaat, a programs coordinator for the Center for Trade Unions and Workers' Services, a Cairo-based nongovernmental advocacy organization. Ms. Refaat said her organization helped organize the walkouts.
"It helped that the factories had been closed and the workers were saying they couldn't find anyone to represent them," said Ms. Refaat. "But we did not expect that it would be everywhere like this. Every hour we hear about a strike in another place."
Before the latest antigovernment demonstrations began more than two weeks ago, Egyptian laborers were among the few civil society blocs capable of winning concessions from Egypt's ruling regime.
Egypt has seen an increase in the number of labor strikes over the past five or six years, with many ending in concessions in workers' favor.
In 2008, about 10,000 property tax collectors camped out in front of Egypt's parliament for nearly two weeks before lawmakers awarded them a 325% increase in their base pay and the right to form one of the country's only independent unions.
A year earlier, 24,000 workers of the Misr Spinning & Weaving Co. in the northern Egyptian city of Mahalla al-Kubra staged a series of walk-outs that forced the public-sector company to award workers bonuses and hazard pay.
One of the Mahalla al-Kubra strikes, which was scheduled for April 6, 2007, gave rise to the 6th of April Youth Movement—an activist organization that was instrumental in planning the Jan. 25 protests that sparked the uprising.

Ole Miss isn't exactly known as being a basketball powerhouse. Kentucky, on the other hand, is. Nevertheless, the two teams hooked up on Tuesday for an SEC battle in Oxford. About seven minutes into the game, a bizarre spectacle unfolded.A Rebels fan from the student section decided to express his displeasure over a foul call by tossing a chunk of ice on the floor. The weird thing is, the call actually went in favor of Ole Miss. Maybe the folks in the crowd need a quick crash course on hand signals used by refeeres to signal a foul? After all, basketball is just a way to pass time for Southerners until spring football rolls around.Anyways, Rebels guard Marshall Henderson then proceeded to dispose of the ice by winding up and sending a fastball right back where it came from. Why he would attempt to alienate the very fans who are cheering for him defies logic. Bizarre. Via The Big Lead

Why the Wolf Howls
Once upon a time, very long ago, before humans came to the hidden valley in the mountains, there lived a large pack of wolves. There were gray wolves, black wolves, white wolves, russet wolves, and multi-colored wolves. Every day they would hunt together to eat, and every night they would sleep in their den near the caves of the hidden valley. They were all family, and family stuck together.
The leader, a blue wolf the size of a small bear, ruled his pack well. During the day he led the pack in successful hunts, and during the night he slept with one eye half open to watch over them all. He was a very good leader.
The hidden valley was in the Cascade Mountain Range in what we now call Washington. It was a beautiful place, covered in soft green mosses and bright bracken. The trees were like peaceful giants, calmly swaying in the breeze, and it is said that if you can find this place, you will hear them whispering encouragement to you wherever you go.
The hidden valley also was full of grand waterfalls and rivers. The largest and most beautiful of them all was called the Snowfall, named after its beautiful cascading falls that sprinkled down to the rest of the river in a white mist. When the sun shone on the falls just right, the water seemed to sparkle with an inner light.
Every day, the wolves came down to a pool that formed near the falls to drink from the water that ran there. The water was cool and crystal clear. Sometimes, if the weather was very hot, the wolves went for a short swim in the delicious water.
But on one particularly hot day, when the wolves went down to the pool for their daily drink, they found that the water was not coming down from the falls. The pool was empty. The wolves yipped in dismay.
"But what shall we do! What shall we drink?" one young wolf cried in despair.
"There is no other river large enough to allow us to swim and drink safely in the valley!" the adults whispered amongst themselves, not wanting to scare the young ones. "What can we do? We will surely die of thirst before the water comes back!"
The leader watched his pack with solemn eyes. He knew that any choice he made next would change the future of the pack forever. He must choose wisely. He stepped up to a large rock overlooking the pool.
"My children, you must listen to me," the leader shouted out over the noise. "There are several things you can do. But first, you must make a choice.
"You can leave. There are hundreds of valleys near her that are unoccupied by anything but game and would be wise choices to live in. They would supply plenty of food and water for the rest of your lives, and your children's lives, and their children's lives. You would be happy.
"You can stay here and find another water source that is safe enough to drink from. There are plenty of those as well, but they are harder to find, and are not as big as the Snowfall. But you will be able to find them if you look hard enough.
"And finally, you can wait here for me to come back. I am going to go investigate what is the cause of this terrible occurrence. I will go no matter what choice you make, so choose for your own good, and not mine. It is time for me to go, now choose!"
Then the large blue wolf was gone.
"Where did he go? Why is he leaving us? When will he be back?" The wolves whispered amongst themselves.
One of the grey wolves stepped up.
"It's obvious what we have to do," he said to the gathered pack. "We have to do as the leader said. We have to decide what we will do. Will we leave, stay, or wait? I think that we should wait for our brave leader. He is risking much to help us discover the source of this catastrophe. What say you?"
Inspired by the young wolf's statement, the wolves all yipped and barked agreement.
"Then it's settled. We will wait here until our leader comes back."
Meanwhile, the great blue wolf was standing on a rock overlooking the pack. He felt an upwelling of pride in his pack. He knew, however, that he had to be going soon if he wanted to save his pack.
He traveled up the falls for the rest of the day. He reached the top of the cliff as soon as the sun set and the sky darkened into twilight.
The river was dry up here as well, so the leader followed the river up to it's source, and stopped.
There, in the spring that fed the great river, a giant, black-feathered condor had made its nest, and was damming up the entire river.
For a moment, the leader despaired. He had no idea how he was going to get the condor away from the spring. But he hadn't been leader of the pack for all these years for nothing. He saw a giant branch protruding from the nest on the side nearest him.
The leader walked up to the branch and tested it. It was very loose. He formulated a plan quickly, before the sleeping condor could wake in the dawn.
When dawn finally came, the leader was ready. He waited for the giant condor to wake up and fly away.
And sure enough, he did. The condor opened a sleepy eye and looked around his nest. He didn't see the great blue wolf hiding behind a large tree over to his right. Seeing no danger, the condor got up and stretched his wings. Then he leapt out of his nest and flew away, hunting for food.
As soon as the condor left, the leader came out of his hiding place. He ran up a small incline to the left of the nest, stopped, turned around, and came charging back down towards the branch. When he was four feet away from it, he gave a huge, flying leap, and hit the branch in midair at full speed. The branch moved with him, hardly slowing him down at all.
Then a strange thing happened. The branch, being one of the supporting branches for the condor's nest, pushed half of the nest aside and made the other half go flying into the air. It was exactly as the leader had planned.
The spring, newly unblocked, was bubbling and gurgling happily nearby. The river soon filled with water, and the falls started once again. The great blue wolf, nearby on his side, sighed proudly to himself. The wolves will have water now, he thought. It was his last thought ever.
Down in the valley, the wolf pack watched as the water came misting down the Falls once again. They yipped and barked in pleasure, and all went for a swim.
They planned a celebration for that night, when the leader would get back. But he never came. They waited and waited, and finally, the gray wolf from before went up to find him. He came back with grim news.
"The leader is dead," he said quietly.
At first the pack didn't believe him. They just stared and some wolf-grinned uncertainly, not sure if this was a joke. Then, it slowly dawned on them that the gray wolf wasn't smiling. He hung his head as if in mourning.
Then the pack youngsters suddenly let out a howl of mourning. The rest of the pack joined in. Their song carried into the night and echoed into other valleys where other wolf packs joined in. Soon every wolf in the Cascade Mountains was howling for the brave leader who had saved the wolf pack.
And still, to this day, when a wolf howls, he is either howling in mourning, in celebration of victory, or in celebration of being with a pack he loves.

The fall festival sent us home with three little goldfish: Ralph, Goldilocks, and AlphaStone. Three kids. Three fish. Perfect.
We pulled out our previously unused fish bowl, gravel, and plastic plants, and set up a fishy oasis in the kitchen. Three little fish swam, unconcerned. Excitement.
By Monday afternoon Goldilocks and AlphaStone floated, no longer troubled by the things of this world like when the yummy food flakes would appear again.

Different parents excel in different ways. We all have our own specialties. Some are Super Creative with Crafts. Some are Awesome Cooks of Tasty Food. Some are Very Athletic and Sporty. You get the idea.
by Melissa Kilpatrick
With five people in our family, three of whom have little or no sense of urgency (except when they want something), it seems we are often running late for one reason or another. Our church starts at 10:00, for example, every Sunday. Knowing that it takes 20 minutes to get there, one would think we could arrive on time or early (gasp!) at least maybe half the time. But, as I said, there is always something that comes up... whether it's someone on the potty, a last minute search for shoes, or a dog having an accident.
One day my husband set out to mow the grass, and started a whole chain of unintended events. The garage door broke as he went to get the lawnmower, and no one could get it to close. So we had to live with our garage door open about three feet for over a week while the garage door repairman waited for the new door to arrive.
Before the door arrived, a pair of Carolina wrens built a nest in our old infant car seat on the shelf in the garage. They worked on their nest every day, and began to lay eggs.

Samsung phone with holographic 3D projection display
Patents, patents, patents… There's so many of them. It seems that we are getting at least several new mobile phone designs patented every week.
What it is about the mobile phone industry, that makes the R&D departments of cellphone vendors churn out patent applications, like no other electronics/gadget maker does?
I have no idea. But the thinking process, and the ideas that are revealed in these patent applications are fascinating to watch.
Some of them are pretty stupid, and will never se the light of day, others are so out there that it may take years to get to the market, and some of them become a real product even before we hear about them.
Here's the latest interesting patent application from Samsung, that I would put somewhere between the "far out there" and "may become a real product soon" categories.
A mobile handset with projection display and/or 3D holographic screen.
Yep. You heard it right. While the big rear projection TVs are becoming extinct, the projection technology may get a second life in a mobile phone displays, and even usher in a whole new 3D user experience.
The reasoning is simple – while they might be thin enough for the TV sets and PC monitors, the LCDs that are commonly used in the mobile handsets, are comparatively thick. Also, due to the production techniques, they have standardized horizontal and vertical sizes, which significantly limits phone design possibilities.
But optical projectors are becoming small enough to put them into a mobile phone.
Then, all that's missing is a "panel type waveguide" (basically a refractive plate that spreads incoming light waves evenly throughout the surface), to pick up the projected light and transform it into an image on the phone display.
And it's just the thing that Samsung is describing in it's patent application. There are numerous advantages to such set-up.
Since the panel type waveguide involved is just a piece of solid material, it can be sliced and diced to any size and shape you want. It will be much thinner then any other display technology. It will be much less prone to breaking.
And it gets better. In Samsung's own words:
Although it has been assumed in the above description that the panel-type waveguide according to the present invention is used as a screen, on which source images emitted by the optical unit are two-dimensionally displayed, the panel-type waveguide may be replaced with a three-dimensional hologram screen so that source images emitted by the optical unit are three-dimensionally displayed on a plane spaced from the hologram screen by a predetermined distance.
Did you catch that? Mobile phones with holographic 3D optical displays may be just around the corner 😉

Last Man Standing
- Artist: Last Man Standing
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 1/15/2002
The album sounds like BLACK SABBATH battling BLACK OAK ARKANSAS, and is perhaps the best disc any of these gents have put out. - New England Entertainment Digest Lead vocalist Mach Bell has fronted bands such as gutsy hard rockers Thundertrain (Teenage Suicide, Hot For Teacher, Hell Tonite)--and Bell was the mouthpiece for the molten blues-metal of the Joe Perry Project. Guitarist Dave Zolla's hot licks bring to mind the adventuresome riffing of guitar giants like Jimi Hendrix and Ronnie Montrose. And the rhythm section of Aart Knyff and Jon Gutlon provide not only an awesome sonic punch on the low end, but the duo also know how to lay down a heavy funkified groove--an almost lost art in today's music scene. -D Filed.com This band will, no doubt, please all the people who wonder what the hell happened to music for the past decade. - 5plendid Mach Bell has never sounded this good, and the guitar playing sounds like it is straight out of the Randy Rhoads school of non-stop crunch. 'New Day Blues' opens up with a flurry of Jimi Hendrix riffs- starting with 'Stone Free' while 'Dr. Doctor' gives a nod to Bell's original band Thundertrain... -AMG The musical pedigree of Last Man Standing is impressive indeed. So, expectations understandably have run high for Bell's first major release since leaving the JPP. Fortunately Bell, and his songwriting partner, guitarist Dave Zolla don't disappoint. The disc opens with the hip-thrusting swagger of 'New Day Blues' recalling past glories with both Thundertrain and the Joe Perry Project, while sporting a totally modern production vibe. And Bell distinguishes himself right away with his trademark whiskey-soaked howling. 'Dr. Doctor' is an exhilarating heavy blues stomper. 'Turnaround' rocks hard, but also has radio-friendly pop hit potential. That goes double for 'Still Dreaming (What Could Be)' which is a melodic gem that should melt the hearts of teenage girls everywhere, while still bringing in the head banging crowd. 'Funk #5' combines a sort of cut-and-paste take on James Brown's lyrics with a track that Warren DeMartini wishes he wrote. 'Miles and Miles' proves that Zolla is no slouch in the guitar gymnastics department with dazzling fretwork to spare. 'Twilight's Last Gleaming' seems to speak to our nation's recent tragedy and yet is enigmatic enough to defy easy categorization. All in all, the Last Man Standing CD marks a much-needed return to ballsy hard rockin' music after a turgid decade of gutless teenybopper pop, soulless grunge, mindless hip-hop and clueless rap-metal. LMS are the real deal. - Chris Parcellin Lead guitarist/record producer DAVE ZOLLA spearheads LAST MAN STANDING, strumming his custom built, high performance Mor Paul guitar. Dave founded LAST MAN STANDING with sidekick Mach Bell in the spring of 1996. The two spent many months jamming, writing material and auditioning players. Zolla tracked, mixed and mastered the debut album at his ZOLLA PRO recording studios located in Norwood Ma. Previously Dave led progressive rockers Buckingham performing at Boston's Paradise Theater and the Channel. Zolla has a long list of album production credits that span hip-hop, jazz, spoken word and rock artists. JON GUTLON is the steam-rolling drummer for LAST MAN STANDING. Speaking softly but carrying big sticks, solemn Jon works hard. His powerful sound drives the debut LMS CD. AART KNYFF, best known as the lead guitarist for Boston metal-rocking L88, busts out his Warwick bass guitar to round out the LAST MAN STANDING line up. Dutchman Aart is a talented singer/songwriter with a lot of stage experience. In 'Walk This Way' the 1997 autobiography of Aerosmith, Joe Perry says 'My new singer Cowboy Mach Bell was a rock 'n' roll guy who grew up in the town over from me, Holliston MA, and had a group called Thundertrain. He loved to rave and be in a band....' The Toronto Star says 'Mach Bell is a leather voiced singer in the Bon Scott mold who is more than willing to take the center stage spotlight.' Circus Magazine called 'Once a Rocker, Always a Rocker', the Joe Perry Project's 1983 MCA release, co-written by Joe Perry and Mach Bell 'One of this years best hard rock albums.' Mach toured continuously for 3 years with the JPP, headlining at hundreds of venues including The Hollywood Palace, NYC's Bottom Line, Pocono Speedway, the Agora Ballroom circuit, Toronto's El Macombo, the New England Dragway and the huge Poliedro Arena in Caracas Venezuela. Mach's career was always full of controversy... According to the liner notes of 1999's 'The Best of the Joe Perry Project-The Music Still Does the Talking' - 'If breathless reports of the day are to be believed, a roaring drunk Bell took to periodically parading around in the nude, creating havoc....' Mach Bell also fronted the glory stomping Thundertrain for five years (1974-79). Bell was a regular in the pages of Rock Scene, The Boston Phoenix, The Boston Groupie News and 16 Magazine who called the 18-year-old singer 'sexy and sensational '. Thundertrain even got a mention in Time Magazine's cover story on punk rock.. Thundertrain were featured on the seminal double LP 'Live at the Rat' and had a hit in the U.K. with 'Hot For Teacher!' the single taken from their 1977 Jelly/JEM album 'Teenage Suicide'. Thundertrain performed with many stars including Thin Lizzy, David Johansen, The Runaways, the Romantics and The Cars. Mach and Thundertrain played at almost every high school and college campus in New England as well as appearing regularly at famed clubs including Max's Kansas City, CBGB's, The Rat and the Cleveland Agora.

I think we should add something in the final part about the fact that the transport choice can affect the actual implementation. Something like: "WS-Reliability (...) and WS-ReliableMessaging (...) are example of acknowledgement infrastructure specifications that leverage the SOAP Extensibility Model. In cases where the underlying transport layer already provides reliable messaging support (e.g. a queue-based infrastructure), the same reliability Feature can be achieved in SOAP by defining a Binding Framework that relies on the underlying properties of the transport".

WASHINGTON -- Death panels are back.
Three Democratic candidates in Illinois are facing ads from a conservative group alleging that voting for them will lead to "a panel of bureaucrats who can decide what treatment you receive, despite what your doctor thinks."
This claim about the Affordable Care Act was hot in 2009, when former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) claimed that Americans would have to "stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care." Politifact gave the "death panels" myth its "Lie of the Year" distinction.
Now, the New Prosperity Foundation -- a political group based in Chicago that is attempting to elect Republicans in the Midwest -- is reviving this claim.
The group is running ads against Democratic congressional candidates Tammy Duckworth, Bill Foster and Brad Schneider, charging that if they are elected, they will increase government control over health care.
At issue is the Independent Payment Advisory Board, a 15-member commission that would make recommendations to Congress for lowering Medicare spending. Republicans have charged that this board would "ration" care.
As Igor Volsky at ThinkProgress explains, IPAB kicks in only if health care spending increases beyond a specific threshold. Additionally, under the Affordable Care Act, IPAB is prohibited from rationing care and won't be making individual decisions on what patients receive.
IPAB's recommendations cannot "include any recommendation to ration health care, raise revenues or Medicare beneficiary premiums … increase Medicare beneficiary cost-sharing (including deductibles, coinsurance, and co- payments), or otherwise restrict benefits or modify eligibility criteria."
Palin has continued to push the death panel claim.
"As we wait for the impending Supreme Court decision on Obamacare, I reiterate what I wrote in my first post on this topic nearly three years ago," Palin wrote in a June Facebook post titled "'Death Panel' Three Years Later." "I stand by everything I wrote in that warning to my fellow Americans because what was true then is true now, and it will remain true as we hear what the Supreme Court has to say."
The conservative rationale for death panels has changed over time -- first focusing on a provision allowing Medicare to cover end-of-life counseling by physicians (which was eventually abandoned by the Obama administration) and then shifting attention to IPAB.
New Prosperity is a super PAC and was also active in the 2010 elections. It received funding from several wealthy donors who were so-called Bush Pioneers from 2000 and 2004.
The New Prosperity Foundation did not return a request for comment on the new ads.

Dianne Feinstein slams Congress for 'shirking its responsibility' on gun laws
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) renewed her call for more comprehensive gun safety laws on Monday with a blistering statement released following a mass shooting on Monday at the Washington Navy Yard.
Politico reported that in a statement, Feinstein called the attack "one more event to add to the litany of massacres that occur when a deranged person or grievance killer is able to obtain multiple weapons — including a military-style assault rifle — and kill many people in a short amount of time. When will enough be enough?"
Feinstein said in her statement that one of the weapons allegedly used in the attack was an AR-15, the type of assault rifle used in the December 2012 shooting attack at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. She introduced a proposal calling for bans on the sale and importation of those kinds of weapons in January 2013, but it was dropped from a larger gun safety bill two months later.
"Congress must stop shirking its responsibility and resume a thoughtful debate on gun violence in this country," Feinstein said in her statement on Monday. "We must do more to stop this endless loss of life."

Update: BofA site outages called 'unprecedented'
Update: BofA site outages called 'unprecedented' - Computerworld
Note: As a former BofA customer for more than 20 years. I was smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall. And PHONED in and cancelled my accounts with them. This Bank has simply gotten to big to CARE about it's customers. If one remembers part of the issue with our GREAT depression was that Banking no longer cared about their lenders money that they had been intrusted with. I'm not saying or suggesting anyone one do anything but it's something to consider when you GIVE someone your MONEY and they want to charge you ridiculously to get it back or even have access to it. They SHOULD be paying YOU for that privileged.

Disclaimer: I disclaim.
Thank you, Oberon Sexton, for leaving a review to this story, it really means a lot.
A Dragon in Chains
Chapter 2
Two weeks later…
"Come on," Daenerys said. "We are going to dinner."
"Do we really have to, my lady?" Myriah Uller asked. "All those men leering at us…"
"Yes," the Princess said coolly. "Absolutely."
But Myriah was far from the only one to feel this way. Daenerys remembered all too well her first impression of Dornish women, all those years ago: that they were all lewd, dressed to reveal and not conceal. The very concept of a woman getting as many lovers as any men without being frowned upon had been shocking to her, yet it was something normal for Dornish women. Until she went there, she hadn't known what a bold tongue tasted like… And now these same women felt embarrassed by the very thought of going to dine with the commanders of the Golden Company. These men were loose and impudent enough to scare even them. And Daenerys felt anything but calm sitting at Aegor's table… She was just waiting for the strike to fall.
But she could not give up, as much as she wanted to stay in the relative safety of her assigned chambers. That would mean to let it show that she was afraid. That would mean to encourage Aegor and discourage her own entourage. And she would certainly not let anyone who was not genuinely ill to stay behind. They needed to keep a brave façade, otherwise they'd break inside.
The rooms they had been given were actually quite comfortable – five bedchambers with a solar and a bath with two tubs. Daenerys had taken Ryon to sleep in her room and the other women had taken the rest of the bedchambers. They had been assigned two maids but they usually preferred helping each other. Still, they took great care to treat the women as good as they could – they might need their good will soon. The Tyroshi who were used only to rough male order seemed genuinely puzzled and flattered by the Dornish ladies' attitude.
"Get ready," Daenerys said. "I must finish the letter to my lord husband."
Ryon scowled. "But Lady Mother," he said. "Why are you writing to him at all? The traitor will read the letter before you send it."
She looked at him and smiled. At his ten years, he still had much to learn. "He surely will," she agreed.
"Then why?"
"Because," Daenerys said, "sometimes the real message is not what is writ in ink but air."
He blinked and shook his head confused. Lady Delonne asked, "You mean, you can use invisible ink?"
"No," Daenerys denied.
"Then how…"
Everyone was looking at her, very interested. She huffed. "You are asking too many questions. Get ready and let me think."
From her window, she had seen a laundress coming and going a few times. She needed to know how often the woman came and how long she stayed, as well as a few other details. They needed to act now, while Aegor was still unaware just how much of an upper hand he had.
A week later…
Anxious and trying not to show it, Daenerys knocked at the door and entered the bedchamber. In the oval looking glass over the dressing table she saw her own concerned face… and a face she did not recognize.
The woman sitting in front of the dressing table slowly turned back and looked Daenerys in the eye. "Well?" she asked softly, scared as always that they'd be overheard, although a few of their jewels had bought the assistance of the two maids. "What do you think? What do I look like?"
The Princess gave a careful inspection before answering. Then, despite her concern, a genuine smile lit her face. "I think," she started slowly but paused and took a deep breath. "I really think the world lost a great performer the day you were born into the wrong family, my dear. You absolutely look the part."
The young woman was really changed. Her long dark hair had lost its brilliance and hung in two greasy braids, tied with dirty ribbons. Her perfect ivory skin was now olive, as if she had spent her entire life in the sun. Her huge indigo eyes now looked round and dark, taking the shade of the dark bodice, her nose thickened with clay and mix of paint and powder. She had no cheekbones to speak of. Her lips were thin and pale. Her skirt was well padded to hide her slender frame. She did not move with her usual ease but heavily, her right shoulder sticking forward, her head bent down.
But she shook her head. "I cannot get rid of the feeling that I've overlooked something," she said and Daenerys grew cold. They couldn't afford any mistakes. She looked at her from head to toes, found nothing.
"Who is this?" Ryon asked behind his mother's back. Although initiated into the plan, he simply had trouble recognizing the beautiful lady in this pitiful creature.
She winked at him and he laughed. "No way you won't have them all fooled," he said admiringly.
"My lady," Myriah spoke urgently from the window where she stood to make sure that the men in the yard hadn't noticed how long the laundress had stayed inside this evening. "Hurry up!"
A few last hugs and a whispered promise to see each other at Sunspear later, the young woman left the chambers and stole up to the servants' quarters – a path that had been dutifully studied in advance. There, she smiled soothingly at the real laundress who would stay hidden until the next day and then leave when the guards changed so no one would take notice that they hadn't seen her coming in.
Taking the two heavy baskets of laundry, she drew a deep breath to calm down her frantic heartbeat and went out into the sun, determined to get the better of their captors. Don't run, don't run, she said to herself as she was making the greatest effort to emulate the heavy steps of the laundress.
A few minutes later…
"Are the rest of your ladies ready with their letters as well?" Aegor asked as soon as Daenerys took her seat at the dais.
"There are a few of them left," Daenerys said. "Frankly, I don't see any use of that. In my letters to my lord husband I give him news about all of us."
He gave her a grim look. She was playing him somehow. He had every letter of hers inspected for all substances that could possibly be used as invisible ink. They had never found anything. Last time, he even had her write in front of his very eyes – and even then, she had somehow deceived him. He felt it within his bones.
"I think their husbands and fathers will be relieved to hear from them in person," he said.
"These lords will be much more relieved if they could see them in person," Ryon cut in and Bittersteel gave him a dark look. He didn't appreciate being interrupted by whelps and this one looked too much like the thrice cursed Baelor for his liking. Had he been his, he would have taught him manners pretty soon but what could one expect from Dornish?
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave us, my prince?" he asked in mocking courtesy. "What is it here that you don't like?"
"The company," the boy said without hesitation, loudly and passionately. "I don't like the company of bastards and traitors to the realm."
His words echoed through the hall. Everyone stared. Bittersteel blinked. Up to this moment, the whelp hadn't been this daring. Didn't he realize that he was at the mercy of his enemy? Daenerys tugged at her son's sleeve but she couldn't hide a slight smile of pride that made Bittersteel even angrier.
They started eating, with everyone's eyes on the boy waiting to see what he'd do next.
A sudden commotion at the door brought Aegor's attention there. Two men entered flanking a slovenly hag of a woman and headed straight for him. He looked from one to the other as they saluted him. "Why have you brought her here?" he asked, disgusted.
"She was trying to escape, my lord," one of the men explained. "We caught her at the last moment. She was pretending to be the laundress… but she isn't."
Now, Aegor gave the pitiful creature a more careful look. When one knew what to look for, there was not much use of make-up. "Lady Allyrion," he said slowly. "Trying to escape."
His eyes went to Daenerys. "Ah sister," he dragged. "Is this the way you repay me for my hospitality?"
She raised her chin. "Did you really expect we'd just sit here and let you do with us whatever you liked?"
He squinted at her. "But why her?" he wondered aloud. "Why not you? It makes no sense..."
Suddenly, he spun around and grabbed the runaway by the shoulders. "Who are you?" he asked, their faces close enough to kiss.
"Let go off me," she hissed.
"Who are you?" he asked again and shook her.
"Let her go!" Ryon yelled, jumped from his seat, ran straight for Bittersteel and bumped into him.
Caugt unaware by the sudden attack, Aegor staggered backwards but regained his balance. Then, he changed his mind, sat in his seat and looked at the hall.
"Anyone who's been at Westeros for the last ten years, come forward!" he barked and a dozen men came near, staring at the woman. Then, one of them gasped.
"She! Maekar's daughter here! Gods almighty!"
For a moment, Aegor's mind went blank. He just couldn't absorb what he was hearing. After all those years of bad fortune, could they really be this lucky?"
"What did you say?" he turned to the man. "Say it again!"
"This one… is Maekar's daughter," the knight said. "Daella Targaryen. Lady Baratheon."
"Do you know her?"
"I do."
"Swear that it's her."
"I swear it."
Aegor's face was lit by sudden, savage joy but it was the fact that it did not reach his mouth that scared his captives most.
"So," he said, looking at the woman, "what do you say to this?"
For a moment, she said nothing. And then, her face suddenly changed in expression of rage and haughtiness. "Rise, Ser Aegor," she snapped. "As low as I have sunken, I still cannot abide Aegor Bittersteel sitting in my presence while I am unseated!"
The silence in the hall was now absolute. Bittersteel shook his head, his face now revealing amazement. "So, it is true," he said. "You truly are his daughter."
He stood up and gave her a mocking bow. "I am afraid I cannot offer you a seat just yet, my lady," he said. "Our chairs are too clean for your current attire."
Now, he looked at her with genuine curiosity, raised a hand and slid a finger across her cheek. She gave him a look as if he was something dirty under her shoes.
"Take your hand off my brother's betrothed!" Ryon Martell yelled.
Bittersteel looked at the tip of his finger and shook his head bemused. "It's truly a miracle what women can achieve with those," he murmured. "I am curious to see what you really look like under all this paint. Should I send for someone to wash you, my lady? Or can you do it alone?"
Again, she glared at him. "I'll manage," she said dryly.
"As soon as you do, come back here. And my lady… no women's tricks this time."
She didn't deign to answer and left, her head held high, with the utmost dignity she could muster with those cushions hampering her movements.
Daenerys looked down at her plate, feeling all too well Aegor's derisive eyes on her. Ryon gritted his teeth.
It was the change in Haegon's expression that alerted him to Daella's return. The young man was staring wide-eyed, speechless. She was approaching the dais in measured steps, her face cast in cold disdain at her surroundings. But she was beautiful and that somehow made up for her attitude. Her skin was flawless, her facial features the most delicate ever seen in a woman. Her dark hair, dried in front of the fireplace, tumbled on her shoulders in radiant waves and her indigo eyes, under the high arches of the eyebrows, through her thick eyelashes, were like a magnet keeping everyone's attention on hers.
"My lady," Haegon murmured and stood up to greet her.
Bittersteel looked as amused as he could which was not much. "I must admit that you had me absolutely fooled," he told Daenerys and sipped at his wine. "I did imagine that she'd look good, with her mother a famous Velaryon beauty and her father not looking that bad either if one could overlook the scars. That's what I expected to see, not the plain old thing she had transformed into with a little paint twice over."
"Daella will be flattered that you think so highly of her, I am sure," Daenerys said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. What had happened to their clever plan! How were they going to escape now?
When Daella and Haegon reached the dais, Bittersteel stood up. "Have a seat, my lady," he said, gesturing at the chair he had had brought in for her. "I am afraid it isn't as comfortable as you are used to in the palaces your family stole along with the throne and the crown but it is something. I believe you'd find our food rather good."
The Princess looked at him coldly. What a change from that mice-like Lady Allyrion, he thought. "The throne, Ser, and the palaces, and the crown have always been ours. As to the food, the bad company makes everything taste bitter. Do you have anything else to tell me?" she asked as she took her seat.
He would have smiled if he could. "I have many plans about you, my lady," he assured her. "And with time, you'll hear about most of them."

Crane's racing season had been as successful as the Master of Ringwood's had been disastrous.
They had been discussing the moral influence of racing; this seemed more like theology.
"act of running," c.1300, from Old Norse ras "running, rush (of water)," cognate with Old English ræs "a running, a rush, a leap, jump; a storming, an attack;" or else a survival of the Old English word with spelling influenced by the Old Norse one. The Norse and Old English words are from Proto-Germanic *res- (cf. Middle Dutch rasen "to rave, rage," German rasen, Old English raesettan "to rage" (of fire)), from a variant form of PIE *ers- "be in motion" (see err). Originally a northern word, it became general in English c.1550. Meaning "act of running" is from early 14c. Meaning "contest of speed" first recorded 1510s.
"people of common descent," a word from the 16th century, from Middle French race, earlier razza "race, breed, lineage, family" (16c.), possibly from Italian razza, of unknown origin (cf. Spanish and Portuguese raza). Etymologists say no connection with Latin radix "root," though they admit this might have influenced the "tribe, nation" sense.
Original senses in English included "wines with characteristic flavor" (1520), "group of people with common occupation" (c.1500), and "generation" (1540s). Meaning "tribe, nation, or people regarded as of common stock" is by 1560s. Modern meaning of "one of the great divisions of mankind based on physical peculiarities" is from 1774 (though as OED points out, even among anthropologists there never has been an accepted classification of these).
Just being a Negro doesn't qualify you to understand the race situation any more than being sick makes you an expert on medicine. [Dick Gregory, 1964]In mid-20c. U.S. music catalogues, "Negro." Klein suggests these derive from Arabic ra's "head, beginning, origin" (cf. Hebrew rosh). Old English þeode meant both "race, folk, nation" and "language;" as a verb, geþeodan, it meant "to unite, to join."
c.1200, rasen "to rush," from a Scandinavian source akin to the source of race (n.1), reinforced by the noun in English and by Old English cognate ræsan "to rush headlong, hasten, enter rashly." Meaning "run swiftly" is from 1757. Meaning "run in competition against" is from 1809. Transitive sense of "cause to run" is from 1860. In reference to an engine, etc., "run with uncontrolled speed," from 1862. Related: Raced; racing.
"strong current of water," late 14c., perhaps a particular use of race (n.1), or from or influenced by Old French raz, which had a similar meaning, and which probably is from Breton raz "a strait, narrow channel;" this French source also may have given race its meaning of "channel of a stream" (especially an artificial one to a mill), which is recorded in English from 1560s.
race (rās)
A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.
A population of organisms differing from others of the same species in the frequency of hereditary traits; a subspecies.
A breed or strain, as of domestic animals.

Pongengine is like, the name says, an engine that runs pong games on a node.js server. It provides an restfull API to get the games status, to log in to the game and to control the paddles.
Any Questions? Drop me a line: ste.hoyer(a)gmail.com.
Build a server or client-side js which controlls the paddle and is able to beat all the other challengers.
The rules are:
There are two ways to install the REST-Server. First you can install it via npm:
$ npm install pongengine
Second is to clone or fork this repository.
You can start the server by simply call:
$ node server.js
if you've installed it via npm you might use the correct path, like so:
$ node node_modules/pongengine/server.js
Now you can open you browser and had to a game named "foo" by opening http://localhost:8001/game/foo. Note that you can choose the game by altering the url.
Beside the spectator route, which you've already used, there are several other routes
Note: There are a maximum numbers of movements withing a time interval. If they are depleted, you get Status Code 500 and have to wait a while. You can get the number of movements available via game status field rightMoveCounter or leftMoveCounter and config field NUMBER_OF_PADDLE_MOVES.

Life Cycle of a BITS Job
The life cycle of a BITS job begins when you create a job. A job is a container that contains one or more files to transfer. A job also has properties that specify how BITS transfers the files and interacts with your application. For example, you can specify the priority of the job, whether the job is an upload or download job, and for which events you want to receive notification.
After you create the job, add one or more files (upload jobs can contain only one file) to the job and change any of the property values as appropriate for your application. When you add a file to the job, specify both the local (client) and remote (server) name of the file. The remote file name must use the HTTP, HTTPS, or SMB protocol. Files within a job are processed sequentially (first in, first out).
BITS 1.5 and earlier: Supports only the HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
BITS automatically suspends jobs when they are created. You must resume the job to activate it in the transfer queue. You can suspend or resume a job at any time. Resuming the job moves the job from the suspended state to the queued state. The job stays in the queued state until the scheduler determines it is the job's turn to transfer files. All foreground jobs run concurrently with one background job. BITS processes the files within foreground jobs serially.
BITS 1.5 and earlier: BITS processes one job at a time. Foreground jobs have the highest priority and run before background jobs.
When it is a job's turn to transfer files, the job moves to the connecting state while BITS connects to the remote server (specified in the remote file name). If BITS is able to connect to the remote server, the job moves to the transferring state where it stays until its time slice ends, the transfer is complete, an error occurs, or the application suspends the job.
The job moves between the queued, connecting, and transferring states until BITS transfers all files in the job. At that point, the job moves to the transferred state. BITS uses round-robin scheduling to schedule jobs that are at the same priority level. Each job is given a slice of time to process its files. If the job does not complete during its time slice, the job goes back to the queued state and the next job in the queue is activated. This prevents large jobs from blocking smaller jobs. Jobs are processed largely on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis; however, BITS cannot guarantee FIFO processing because of round-robin scheduling, job errors, and service restarts.
The transferred files are not available to the client until the application calls the IBackgroundCopyJob::Complete method to transfer ownership of the files from BITS to the user. Upload jobs are also set to the transferred state when the file is successfully received by the server. Upload-reply jobs are set to the transferred state after the file is successfully sent to the server and the reply from the server application is successfully transferred to the client.
If an error occurs, the job moves to either the fatal or transient error state. Fatal errors are errors that BITS cannot recover from or which require intervention to fix. If the application is able to fix the error, the application resumes the job and BITS moves the job to the queued state. Transient errors are errors that may resolve themselves. BITS retries jobs in the transient error state until the transfer is successful or the job times out. The job times out when no progress is made within an application-specified period. If the job times out, BITS moves the job to fatal error state.
For more information on job states, see BG_JOB_STATE.

Join us to enjoy a Easter 2-Course brunch menu $30.95. A la Carte available
Sunday, April 1, 2018
I ordered an appetizer, and fully expected a small amount of food. What was a bit surprising was for $12 there were 3 small slices of salmon fume, a slice of red onion, 2 slices of lemon and a petit peu of creme fraiche 3 triangles of toast. No garniture of tomato/cucumber. I thought it meager.
Feels like you've stepped into a bistro in Paris, minus the super chic Parisiennes. The vibe is cozy and the food is authentic, delicious and satisfying. I would love to see more young people there... it's not very diversified generationally speaking. It would make a big difference to the ambiance. Maybe fixed price menus for the 25 and under crowd?
Food and service were good but the close tables and sound level made it un-appealing.
We had a nice dinner here on a recent quiet weeknight. Service and atmosphere were excellent as usual, the food was a bit mixed sadly. Moules Frites were bland and unevenly cooked, and the frites (which also came with my companion's dinner) were thin, unremarkable fries. My companions NY strip steak was excellent, as were the beautifully dressed green and spinach side salads. Next time I'll go back to the more ruggedly French dishes.
We have LOVED the Chat Noir and go there often, but last Sunday was not good. Are they under new management? the OJ wasn't fresh, the mimosas lousy as a result, the eggs benedict not good. the crepe with nutela was cold. We were so disappointed
Good food at good prices.
They need to fix how they serve wine by the glass.
To the credit of the restaurant they instantly changed our server. Perhaps it was a server issue.
We were seated at our table on time but except for water refills, were ignored, until I asked for a a server after 20 minutes. A small annoyance. After this, everything went very well. Food was delicious and our server couldn't have been nicer. We'll go back....
This remains my favorite restaurant in DC. The food is traditional French cooking and is uniformally well-prepared. The service is very accommodating and attentive.
Consistently good, cozy and tasty food. Chat Noir has been around for many years and we have never been disappointed. It may not be the most avant guard, but the atmosphere is homey and the people are very nice. We had the Sunday brunch which was an excellent value.
Always enjoyable, great food, excellent pairing options with their wines. Like being in a Paris bistro. Good value.
My entree was a bit salty for my taste but enjoyed the cuisine otherwise. Service was very good.
This is a very nice french bistro. The prices are reasonable for DC and the House wine was excellent. Great service. We really liked the restaurant - it is not fancy, more of a neighborhood place.
We like this restaurant. It has a French atmosphere, the ambience is informal, and the noise level is low so conversation is possible. We chose specials from the daily menu: stuffed bell peppers for starters, a concoction of venison meat in phyllo for the main course, and poire belle hélène for desert. All very good. The restaurant offers a wide selection of wines at reasonable prices (although you can splurge if you wish). We chose a bottle of Lirac to complement our meal. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Recommended.
Truly a neighborhood gem that never disappoints!
Very pleasant environment, outstanding food attentive staff. This is a small low key restaurant that combines, food, presentation, environment and service that could match most celebrity chef high powered places. Easy to access and on street parking in a pleasant neighborhood. I would suggest for a celebration or a quiet business meeting as well as just a nice neighborhood night out.
We haven't been here for ages. So nice to rediscover it!
Food was good, not excellent because the lamp I had was hard to chew and the service was slow because they didn't have enough people working but I liked it in general, the food is not bad.
As always, the food combinations--especially on their holiday specials--are uniquely creative, delicious and beautifully presented. Right now it's our #1 restaurant choice.
The food is traditional French cooking, prepared very well. Service is attentive without being too much so. Wine list is appropriate to the food but neither fine taste nor expensive. In Paris, where I used to live, this would be a fine neighborhood place but would not rate tourist attention.
My wife and I greatly enjoyed our Valentines Day dinner (a day early Feb.13th)! Its very comfortable and a friendly place to have a meal. Food was very good as it always is for each and every course. An interesting wine list were we always manage to find a hidden gem. It made for a most enjoyable dining experience.
We have liked Le Chat Noir in the past, but this time the music was awful and too loud.
It's not close enough for us to be a neighborhood restaurant - wish it were, because we always enjoy dining here. There's a wide range of choices - hits this time were the crevettes de Calanques (six or seven very tasty shrimp atop "brik" and the sweetbreads main course (w/ polenta, celery, and carrot); the basic steak-frites was also excellent. There's also a nicely varied wine list, though if you really can't find something you like, we noted that some diners were BYO - is there a deal there? Service was excellent and friendly.
2nd time we've been-food was delicious! Comfortable, neighbor hood kind of ambience. Will go back!
The food and atmosphere, as always, were great. We are always pleased with our dining experience.
Excellent food, presentation and service. The dessert trio was fantastic.
We went for crepes. My friend wanted to order a custom crepe and the waiter said she could not. So she had boullabaise instead. My crepe was great - lamb sausage, apples and cranberries. The nutella dessert crepe was very small and seemed to have been warmed up in the microwave rather than freshly made. I like the room, and the french bread is delicious.
This is a favorite restaurant and one we frequent. I recommend it to friends for its authentic French cuisine and friendly service and pleasant atmosphere.
The special mahi mahi was in a delicious sauce, but the amount of seafood was a bit spare. The snail appetizer was sadly thin on the butter sauce. The waiter was kind enough to send it back for more, but that resulted in tough, rubbery snails.
The shrimp appetizer with Dijon was very good, had the duck and my date had the venison and both were excellent. Felt the escargot was overcooked.
I never leave reviews but this place was not good and ruined a special occasion. Went here on the last day of restaurant week. The menu was slightly different than what was online. Our server was brand new (told us 1st day) but was still very nice and capable- hated that the upper management seemed to be helicoptering her performance. Told us they didn't have a beer that was on the menu and tried to blame our waitress for saying the wrong thing. Learned they actually did have it after we ordered something else. The food was terrible. Ordered fish which tasted old and fishy and coq au vin which was just bland and slimy. Dessert was fine but mouse tasted like made out of a package. Crape was just fine. Will definitely not be eating here again.
consistently tasty food , attentive service and good value
We have been going to La Chat Noir for years and always enjoyed it understanding a haughty French attitude was simply part of the charm. This past Sunday we wanted a special place to take our grandson who had just achieved something wonderful that morning. The service was abominable. We got (after 15 mins)cold red wine and warm champagne without bubbles. the waitress forgot our order twice finally came back and said there was no quiche Lorraine. We waited 45 minutes for our meal and had to beg for bread and water. No mention of the celebration — why ask if you don't care. Never again. This place has lost us.
We hosted a friend who was a newcomer. Most excellent and wide-ranging selection for restaurant week. As regulars we were again pleased to enjoy our neighborhood favorite.
Great venue. Main dining area appears to be a covered area built-out into the sidewalk providing a quaint bistro-like setting. Service was attentive. Food was presented well, but the 2 steaks ordered by our group had the appearance that they were recently defrosted.
I took a friend to brunch for her long-past birthday. It was her first visit to Chat Noir; I go fairly often. The food was excellent and the overall experience relaxing and positive. Our service, however, was the abrupt and largely absent, the worst by far I'd had there. This is unusual for Chat Noir. It appeared to be our particular waiter who won't last long if that behavior continues.
I went with a long time friend who was visiting DC. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy. Our first interaction with the server was when he arrrived at the table and said 'Are you ready to order?' and when we hesitated he walked off. I ordered the Beef Normandy. I received a chicken dish. The meals were ordinary, overly creamy, and expensive.
I strongly recommend that you avoid Le Chat Noir.
Chat Noir offers consistently good food and fabulous bread.
Exceptional food! (We've been there numerous times before, but this was the best!)
I love this restaurant. It is a wonderful place for many reasons. The food is wonderful - from the standards to the more inventive, all the ingredients are beautifully woven to create dishes that are both rewarding and comforting, and the bread is amazing! It is a great place to catch up with friends as it is cozy and quiet without feeling like everyone is listening to your every word. In addition, the service was great. Our waiter was attentive yet patient with our pace. This is the true neighborhood gem that deserves more recognition than it seems to get.
This restaurant is excellent and the food is authentic French Cuisine. Staff is efficient and very courteous. This is our third visit to this fine eatery and we hope to have many more in the future. You will not be disappointed.

Hey there. Because of my AirPro madeshift mounted on my Walkera Runner 250, I have to protrude the battery more the halfway outback plus add a counterweight for balance, using a smaller camera that's not really useful.
So instead, I would like to put a larger battery. I noticed the Walkera 250 batteries are the same as the Phantom 1's: 11.1V, 2250 mAh (25Wh) battery. Is there a version of the same battery, with the same plugs but about 1.5 longer with more battery cells and therefore more mAh's? That would really help me balance out the AirPro's weight and at the same time increase flight time cut in half by the overweight setup of the drone equipped with that high quality camera.
I dont think you can use more than 3 cells with your runner 250 as the ESC's are only rated for 11.1V, but I could be wrong.
However if you are looking for more flight time you can try upgrade to a 3000mAh battery, but I am not too sure about the maximum takeoff weight for the Runner 250, so if you use a battery that is too heavy, even if it is bigger you could get lower flight times as the motors need to work harder to lift your quad. We have a guide on how to choose the best battery for your drone.
But otherwise if you do want to use as lightly bigger battery you can always solder a matching connector for it to work onto your Runner 250.
My W250 is already overweight to carry the Ion AirPro, I just wanna optimise the overweight in the back by having a longer battery instead of a useless rear cam hanging off the wires and not even balanced sideways.
Do you sell 3000mAh Lion Power 11.1V Battery for DJI Phantom CX-20 Quanum Nova or something similar readily pluggable and fitting in the Walkera 250's hull?

With his ski-slope nose, sleepy eyes and elongated face, Welsh actor Rhys Ifans brings to mind David Warner, one of the signal British actors of the 1960s and 1970s (who went on to play a string of villain roles, including in Titanic and the Dr. Who series).
In Mr. Nice, now in limited release, Ifans wears a perpetually stoned smile, playing real-life drug dealer Howard Marks. But, like everything from Goodfellas to Blow to Rush, the pattern dictates that what goes up must come down -- hard.
So, unfortunately, Bernard Rose's film about Marks' life follows a predictable path. But it's one you're not sorry to take -- mostly -- because Ifans slouches through it so enjoyably.
Beginning in the mid-1960s -- when he matriculated at Oxford -- the film follows Marks' wild ride, most of which involves him stumbling into one opportunity after another. "I don't use drugs," he says as a freshman, when offered his first joint -- but he takes a toke anyway. Before long, he's hosting pot and LSD-fueled debauches in his dorm room.
He does a favor for a friend -- and goes to Germany to drive a car back that has a backseat stuffed with hashish. Before long, he's regularly making the circuit, earning stacks of cash for smuggling pounds of hash and weed back to Great Britain.
Eventually, it becomes a question of scale -- and he makes a connection in Pakistan to ship tons of the stuff. Which leads him to a much-hunted IRA terrorist, Jim McCann (David Thewlis), who wants to utilize Howard's trafficking route to bring guns to Great Britain.
Then Howard receives a visit from an old school chum (Christian McKay), who wants him to become a source for MI6, offering information on the IRA. But as Marks notes in his voice-over narration, it's one thing to be an informer -- it's another to pretend to cooperate and reap the rewards of having the government in his back pocket.
But because this is a true story, rather than a piece of fiction, it can only go one way -- down. And that's where Rose's film loses energy.
For much of the first half, Rose uses obvious green-screen composites, super-imposing Ifans (in his shag wig) against backdrops of the period: from Trafalgar Square to Los Angeles International Airport, It's an intriguing visual approach, but one he dispenses with at about the halfway point.
As long as Ifans' Howard Marks is skipping along, enjoying an amazing streak of luck and chutzpah in his dealings with the law, this film has a bounce to its step that keeps it flying high. But as the forces of law enforcement tighten the net on Howard and his colleagues, the film turns darker and more predictable.
Rose also underemploys Chloe Sevigny, as the young woman who becomes Howard's wife and the mother of his four kids. Aside from rolling in bed with him or crying piteously when he's arrested, she has nothing to do.
Ifans, however, keeps a twinkle in his eye and a sly look on his face, injecting a laidback energy (if that's not too much of an oxymoron) into his scenes. He's a hustler -- but he's also a guy who can't quite believe he's getting away with the stuff he's pulling (including an outlandish courtroom ploy utilizing his government connection to beat a drug charge).
Mr. Nice is an interesting story told in a half-good film. But it's a treat to see Ifans in a role that lets him stretch his lanky charm.

(Fox Searchlight Pictures)
Zach Cregger (left) wakes up from a coma to learn that his ex-girlfriend is a centerfold in 'Miss March.' Trevor Moore co-stars.
(UPDATE: The "Miss March" boys aren't making the scene at UTSA today, as their Web site indicated. Instead, their publicist says they're supposed to be downtown today doing press at the Grand Hyatt. No word on public events.)
Keeping track of no-shows, which I consider a consumer service for movie fans, is getting a little more complicated.
The standard strategy for keeping a movie that studios don't have much confidence in away from critics until opening day is a total blackout. No junkets (studio-paid trips which offer screenings along with access to the stars), no press at premieres, no screenings for local critics until Thursday night, which is way past deadline for most Friday newspaper publications that feature movie reviews. Like Weekender, which goes to press Thursday afternoon.
But what happens if a movie is made available in advance only to selected, hopefully sympathetic, audiences? Still a no-show in my book, but a qualified one.
Examples include the Jonas Brothers concert movie and the upcoming lowbrow road-trip comedy "Miss March." The Jo Bros film wasn't screened anywhere, but a few L.A. critics were allowed into its gala Hollywood premiere the Tuesday before its release, where they'd surely be swayed (or so the studio hoped) by the thousand screaming girls in the audience. Which is why a review from the Associated Press turned up on our entertainment wires after I was informed not to expect any reviews.
"Miss March," which opens Friday, wasn't on anyone's list of reviews as well (Roger Ebert had it on his, but removed it yesterday), and the PR rep for the studio confirmed it was going to get the Thursday-night-screening treatment.
However, "Miss March" is being promoted via a grass-roots marketing strategy that involves its stars, Trevor Moore and Zach Cregger, touring the country in a big ol' bus. On the side of the bus is a picture of Moore and Cregger reading the edition of Playboy that has Cregger's ex as a centerfold.
Obviously, the bus tour, aimed at college audiences, stopped in Orlando, Florida, because I came in this morning to discover a "Miss March" review from the Orlando Sentinel's Roger Moore on our entertainment wires. (One of the reasons Moore is Ebert's unofficial Weekender backup critic is because he sees everything, including movies that weren't screened. The past few weeks, his follow-up reviews of "Street Fighter" and "Madea Goes to Jail" have appeared in Weekender a week late.)
The Orlando Sentinel's Web site features Roger's video piece on his visit to the "Miss March" bus (with an F-bomb that was't blipped out, interestingly enough). Obviously, he got to see the movie as part of the interview deal. The review isn't posted yet, which is probably a good thing. Let's just say Roger wasn't impressed.
The "Miss March" rep has indicated that the bus tour is scheduled to come through San Antonio on Friday for a stop at UTSA (although no time has been set) after swinging through Austin and San Marcos on Thursday for screenings and Q&A sessions with Moore and Cregger. But where's Miss March (Raquel Alessi)? Couldn't the Playboy Mansion have loaned her out?

Jackie has been a good influence on me while she's been here. We went to the Zumba class at my gym this evening and liked the pace of the class. I'll go back. I'm also going to take a strength-training class which is right before it on Monday nights. There is another Zumba class on Wednesday mornings I can take, too. This is one of those first steps that begins a long journey moments. Attending those classes will help me go in and exercise on other days and do more cardio. Then I'll start watching what I eat because when I've done this before, I didn't want to mess up all the benefits I gained from exercising by eating wrong food. I hope that's what happens this time. I remember enjoying working out and missing it when I didn't go.
