Hotel Tuscany I Pini has three stars and is set along the so-called Riviera in Lido di Camaiore. This is the Versilia area, a place pervaded with serenity and an atmosphere of deep relaxation, ideal for your holidays in Italy.
The hotel is a historic building. This Tuscan villa showcases a period Art Nouveau appearance. Galileo Chini designed and built it at the beginning of the 20th century. It was recently completely renovated without altering the appeal and aspect of the original works, preserving all the elements that make it an adorably characteristic residence. The grandeur of the hotel is also given by the many artworks it includes, such as antiquities, paintings, frescoed walls, and antique furniture.
This hotel Tuscany has a total of 22 rooms distributed on three floors. The arrangements include two single, ten double, three triple, and three quadruple rooms in addition to three junior suites and one suite.
Each room and suite has a unique character, showing individual decorations that elegantly mix original pieces of antique furniture with modern amenities including air conditioning, satellite television, central heating, safe, phone, and en-suite bathroom with hairdryer.
Each morning the breakfast service offers a large buffet. The staff takes care of the quality and variety of the buffet, also serving it wherever you like best, may it be in your room, in the garden or in the breakfast room.
A warm welcome awaits your return from a visit to Lido di Camaiore and its surrounds, or a relaxing day at the beach. The staff of this hotel Tuscany will serve you your favorite cocktail with a background of relaxing music.
At dinner you will be served Italian recipes from the Tuscan culinary tradition and a wide selection of wines from the region. The restaurant of the hotel was awarded many culinary prizes for the quality of its food, which you will be able to wash down with one of the hundred wine labels kept in the cellar. A sommelier will gladly help you with your choice.
Are passionate about cooking? At hotel Tuscany i Pini you can take classes and learn the secrets of one of the most celebrated cuisines in the world.
Just like it is customary for a Liberty-style Italian villa, Tuscany hotel I Pini is encircled with plenty of lush vegetation, silence, and set in one of the most precious towns of the Tuscan riviera, Lido di Camaiore. In the immediate vicinities there are plenty of shops and spots to make complete your holiday in Tuscany. Beautiful ateliers are perfect for your shopping, restaurants offering delicious fish recipes, and the sea just few minutes walking away. If you have your own car, within 15 minutes you can reach renown localities of the Versilia, such as Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi and Pietrasanta.
Hotel Tuscany I Pini is open from the beginning of April until the end of October.

Ardumoto Shield Hookup Guide
This Tutorial is Retired!
This tutorial covers concepts or technologies that are no longer current. It's still here for you to read and enjoy, but may not be as useful as our newest tutorials.
View the updated tutorial: Ardumoto Shield Kit Hookup Guide
Assembly Tips
Before you can start using the Ardumoto Shield, you have to do a little assembly. Embrace your inner electronics technician and whip out that soldering iron! Time to turn a mish-mash of parts into a fully-functional 'duino shield!
On this page we'll go over some assembly tips. You don't have to follow these steps exactly – assemble the shield as best fits your project's needs – but this is good for general use of the shield.
Add Screw Terminals (Optional)
If you please, you can add screw terminals to both of the motor outputs and/or the VIN input.
If you're adding screw terminals to the motor outputs, slide them together first:
Then insert them into the shield and solder.
Solder the Arduino Headers
To interface the shield with your Arduino, soldering male connectors to the 28 header pins is a must. Soldering ensures a reliable physical and electrical connection. If you've never soldered before, check out our through-hole soldering tutorial.
There are usually two options for connectors when you're assembling a shield: stackable or straight. We recommend stackable headers, because it allows you to stack other shields or jumper wires on top. The smaller male headers are a good option if you're looking for lower-profile installation.
If this is your first shield assembly, we recommend reading through our shield assembly guide. There are all sorts of tricks to installing shield headers, and making them look as good and straight as possible!
In the process of soldering stackable headers. Still a lot of pins to go!
Once you're done soldering the headers, plug the shield in to make sure everything fits cozily.
Connecting Motors
This is where the shield assembly gets very project-specific. Have you picked out which motors you'll be driving with the shield? Do you know how long the wires need to be trimmed? There's a lot to be answered here before continuing on…
Once you've figured out your motor placement, feel free to connect them to your shield. If you added screw terminals in the last step, break out your mini phillips screw driver. Otherwise, you may be soldering the motors directly to your shield.
Prototyping Area
Let's address the elephant in the room. There's almost half-a-shield that we've failed to talk about thus far. The prototyping area! These rows and columns of 0.1"-spaced plated through-holes can be used to solder in all sorts of fun components.
You could add an accelerometer to enable bump detection in your robot. Or just fill it with LEDs to make your project as blinky as possible. Or, if you don't have any plans for the area, leave it be – maybe you'll come up with something later.
Unlike other prototyping areas you may have encountered in the past, these holes are not wired together. You don't need to do any trace-slicing, but you will need to do some soldering and wire routing.

Leandro Penna blasts ex Katie Price as "crazy" and "insane"
Katie Price
The Argentinian model and glamour girl Katie, who got engaged in April, announced their split this week - and now Leandro has claimed that he was the one who ended things.
Leandro, 27, told South American Caras magazine: "I left her simply because she is crazy. Katie's brain is not wired right, or the wires don't connect properly.
"I don't know what's wrong with her. I was thinking it over recently and one day I packed my bags and left.
"There was nothing else I could do. She was driving me insane."
Leo's words contrast to Katie's earlier statement about the break-up, which insisted the pair had ended "mutually" and on good terms.
She wrote on her website: "Leo and I have had a lovely fun time for a couple of years, we will always feel deep affection for each other, but sometimes relationships just run their course.
"Pressures of work on different continents, natural demands of family ties, and careers, have meant we have spent a huge amount of time apart even when we were in the same country. This meant it was difficult for the relationship to move forward.
"Accordingly we've mutually decided to call it a day, but we really wish each other nothing but the very best and will remain best of friends, whoever he eventually settles down with will be a very lucky girl."
The couple's break up comes amid rumours Katie had been sending flirty texts to 18-year-old X Factor hopeful Dan Ferrari-Lane.
Katie, 34, is said to have exchanged a string of messages with the District 3 singer after they met at a London hotel where they were both staying two weeks ago.
But Katie was quick to shoot down these rumours in her statement.
She wrote: "Quite separately, it is unfortunate that this separation coincides with some utterly ridiculous and silly stories about a boy band member.
"This has nothing to do with the ending of Kate and Leo's relationship and her contact with the boy band member has been entirely innocent and platonic. It is shame that certain magazines are seeking to make more of it."

At nine-years-old, Jonathan Bodrick recalls sifting through Brooklyn thrift shops and rummaging through his mom's walk-in closet, and since then, he's been dreaming about opening his own shop. An acronym for "borrowed, old, refurbished and new," this high-end eclectic vintage shop, nestled in the back of Makari's Makeup Salon, carries everything from fur coats and funky belts to antique jewelry and purses. "It's a store for anyone fun who's in Harlem," Bodrick says. Among his gems are black-and-gold suede platform heels ($75), a black abstract clutch with a gold chain design ($150), a deep purple jumpsuit ($60) and a vintage butterfly plate necklace ($325). When he's not hosting shopping parties for loyal clients, Bodrick looks for more ornate items to add to his collection. "Every piece has a story, and customers love a good story," he says.

Comments about Spirit Mens Blood Stain Shoes:
I bought this product to wear to a Halloween party in a few weeks, and I absolutely love the way they look. They are a little stiff and uncomfortable, and cut a little into my ankles when I walk, but they look fantastic and I can deal with them. I'm sure they will get a bit more give the more I wear them.

Frederick IX Bridge
The Frederik IX bridge (Danish: Frederik d. 9's Bro; named for King Frederik IX) spans the Guldborgsund strait between the islands of Falster and Lolland in Denmark. It joins the larger part of Nykøbing Falster with the smaller part of the town on Lolland. It is 295m long and 25m wide and was constructed between 1960 and 1962, opening officially on 14 May 1963.
The bridge has a central 20m span with two bascules, both on the eastern side of the bridge. One carries four lanes of vehicle traffic while the other carries a rail link. The two parts normally operate together. The bridge is manned during the day and opened on request for passing ships, but may only be opened once every half-hour. It is planned for the bridge to be re-equipped for automatic operation.
The bascules consist of a long bridge span and a short counterweight section. Each bascule is supported by two pivot bearings, one either side. Two motors, one either side of the bridge, turn shafts passing through the centre of the pivot bearings. Further shafts take power to the rear of the counterweights, where there are pinions pressing against a rack mounted in the wall of the counterweight chamber, which drive the bascule.

An awesome 125 people have pre-ordered copies of Mitigated Futures. The next stretch goal is only $95) away, and we're only $595 away from getting interior art for the collection. Because we're so close, I've already engaged at least one artist, Steve Goad, to start work on interior art (the fast turn around of our project meant it was better to start now, and almost everyone I asked was booked solid!). Steve Goad has been featured in Clarkesworld Magazine, which is where he caught my eye, among other places. You can see his portfolio at his website.
This Monday I start writing the brand new story for the anthology, I've been doing research and toying with ideas and looking forward to this!
That means this Monday will be the last day I'll have the 'make me write a story you come up with the idea for' and the other higher reward levels (name a character will remain). In case you've been eyeing them…

The New CEOs
Women, African American, Latino, and Asian American Leaders of Fortune 500 Companies
Richard L. Zweigenhaft and G. William Domhoff
The New CEOs
looks at the women and people of color leading
500 companies, exploring the factors that have helped them achieve success and their impact on the business world and society more broadly. As recently as fifteen years ago, there had only been three women CEOs of
500 companies, and no African Americans. By now there have been more than 100 women, African American, Latino, and Asian-American CEOs of
500 companies.
Richard L. Zweigenhaft and G. William Domhoff look at these "new CEOs" closely. Weaving compelling interview excerpts with new research, the book traces how these new CEOs came to power, questions whether they differ from white male
500 CEOs in meaningful ways, asks whether the companies that hired them differ from other companies, and discusses what we can learn about power in America from the emergence of these new CEOs. As Americans continue to debate corporate compensation, glass ceilings, and colorblind relationships,
The New CEOs
shares information critical to understanding our current situation and looks toward the future in our increasingly globalized world.
The paperback edition of
The New CEOs
features a new Introduction and an updated comprehensive list of new CEOs to date.

Richard L. Zweigenhaft
is Charles A. Dana Professor of Psychology at Guilford College.
G. William Domhoff
is Distinguished Professor Emeritus and Research Professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Over the past three decades, the authors have written a series of books together, including
Blacks in the White Elite
Diversity in the Power Elite.
Chapter 1: Setting the Stage: The Changing Role of the CEO and the Recent Emergence of Women, African American, Latino and Asian American CEOs
Chapter 2: The Women
500 CEOs
Chapter 3: The African American
500 CEOs
Chapter 4: Going Global: Latino and Asian American
500 CEOs
Chapter 5: Where Do They Fit in the Corporate Elite, and How Do They Compare with Jewish and Gentile Male CEOs?
Chapter 6: Why Now, and What's Next?
Appendix 1: The New CEOs
Appendix 2: Baby-Faced and More: CEOs and Skin Color
Appendix 3: Funding the Corporate-Mediated Pipeline
In this new book by Richard Zweigenhaft and G. William Domhoff, the authors prove they are the best among social and behavioral scientists writing about diversity and inclusion. The findings they present are accessible, yet challenging, and the inclusion of appendices, tables, and figures are immensely helpful. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the new global political economy. This book can be used in both undergraduate and graduate course in the liberal arts and especially as a primary text in business schools.
Earl Smith, Rubin Distinguished Professor of American Ethnic Studies and Sociology, Wake Forest University
The New CEOs
provides very valuable information for those with interests in inequality and diversity. The careful research that Zweigenhaft and Domhoff have provided in their body of work on how the power elite has been changing, from attendees at elite private schools, to membership on key policy boards and on boards of directors of major corporations, and now to appointment as CEO of the nation's largest corporations, has provided a wealth of information that helps us interpret trends and draw conclusions about social processes. This book is especially noteworthy because it not only provides the descriptive information about who has reached these positions and what their individual stories entail, but it also asks and endeavors to answer whether having diversity at the highest level of corporations makes a difference and whether we can expect for the trends to continue. The book is thorough, drawing from multiple sources of data to provide a profile of the new CEOs, to document the pathways that led them to the top jobs in major companies, and to compare them with white men who have otherwise held these positions. The analysis also compares the performance of these CEOs with those in comparable companies. All around a useful and important contribution to the literature on inequality and diversity.
Nancy DiTomaso, Vice Dean for Faculty and Research and Professor of Management and Global Business, Rutgers University School of Business
The New CEOs
is a unique and compelling analysis of the factors that promote (or hinder) demographic diversity among the top brass of American industry. The combination of historical, biographical, and empirical accounts create a rich narrative that is both scholarly and engaging. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the evolving profile of the corporate 'chieftain.'
Robert Livingston, Professor and Head of Organisational Behaviour, University of Sussex
According to Zweigenhaft (psychology, Guildford Coll.;
Diversity in the Power Elite: How It Happened, Why It Matters
) and Domhoff (sociology, Univ. of California;
Who Rules America? Challenges to Corporate and Class Dominance
), there are 74 women and people of color who have been at the helm of Fortune 500 companies. This book seeks not to analyze why, but rather to explore the individuals themselves-their backgrounds as well as their impact on the companies they lead. The first chapter is devoted to women CEOs, and subsequent chapters individually address each of the ethnicities (further divided by CEO and heritage).The book's latter part is a comparison between traditional CEOs and companies led by the "new CEOs." Zweigenhaft and Domhoff clearly and concisely profile the CEOs and companies using a combination of biographical and data-driven research. There are no comparable works available. VERDICT This book succeeds at showing the intersection of culture, politics, ethnicity, and feminism through the lens of business diversity studies. An excellent book for scholars interested in data-driven sociology, psychology, and cultural studies relating to business and for readers in the business world.

Here, with another year of information to draw upon, we look at the New CEOs in terms of class and gender, using an intersectional analysis to help explain who becomes a New CEO—and who does not.

FF and LE are bankrupting municipalities all over my state (Rhode Island). In the old days, we used to have more volunteers. That's the answer IMHO. We used to have volunteers in my town, but because of insurance concerns, they were eliminated. That's BS. Time to bring back as many volunteers as possible. Make them take basic training, or whatever. But there are LOTS of folks who would like to contribute to their communities.
Let folks be actively involved, and we'll save money at the same time.

ABC Pushes 'Normal' With Transgendered Mayor
With a rich history of giving unprecedented coverage to alternative sexualities and gender identities, it's no surprise that ABCnews.com features 1,100 + word article about a small town transgendered mayor.
Stu Rasmussen is the mayor of Silverton, Oregon. He made national headlines as the first transgendered mayor in the nation after he won his November 2008 election. Rasmussen, who is sixty, has spent "50 years to get comfortable in [his] body" and in 2000 "adopted the twins," as he called it, and got breast implants.
But Rasmussen may be making more headlines as RDF USA, the production company that shot hit ABC shows such as "Wife Swap" and "Don't Forget the Lyrics" confirmed that they were shooting Rasmussen in Silverton the week of April 6, according to the abcnews.com article by Sarah Netter.
"While he has some trepidation about the maelstrom a hit television show could bring to his small town -- concerns shared by his fellow town officials -- Rasmussen told ABCNews.com that he agreed to put his life on display in the hopes of helping others who are struggling with their own gender identity but don't believe they can live outside the closet," Netter wrote. "It's almost my responsibility to the rest of the transgender community to help others understand that we are not freaks and weirdos," Rasmussen said.
While Netter did note Rasmussen's genuine concern for the impact on his small town, she gave him and his supporters plenty of room to discuss the value of a reality show based on a transgendered mayor. "People aren't that familiar with us … most of us are pretty average people," said Denise Leclair executive director of the International Foundation for Gender Education in Waltham, Mass. Netter thought it important to follow up with the statistics proving just how "normal" transgenderism is. "But with about 3 million transgendered people in the United States, or about 1 percent of the population, the community isn't accordingly represented in most places, including politics and Hollywood. A reality show would help portray transgendered people as they are … even if it doesn't help Rasmussen's career," Netter declared.
Netter doesn't say much about what the 9,500 residents of Silverton think of their mayor, opting to just quote Rasmussen saying, "Silverton is so over this."
Had Netter been interested, she might have found some that aren't quite "over it." One Silvertonian of this author's acquaintance named "Joanna" is among those who disagree with Rasmussen's lifestyle. "He is the one freakish thing in the town," said the mother of four.
Nor are local religious groups over it. "The churches in town have pretty much said 'We think it's wrong, but Jesus loves him' in articles I've read," Joanna said. And she is at least one Silverton resident who isn't happy the town is getting attention for Rasmussen. "He doesn't deserve so much attention," she said. "ABC is wrong if it televises anything to do with him."
Netter was more interested in Rasmussen's particular oddities. "Unlike many transgendered people, Rasmussen has not made a full commitment to either gender," she wrote. "Instead, his commitment is to what makes him comfortable. He wears women's clothing and has grown his hair long, but he is not considering further surgery and has kept his male name."
CMI has noted that ABC News has a penchant for publicizing alternative sexualities and those with gender confusion. Last week, Good Morning America ran a five minute report on "objectum sexuals" – people whose "intimate life revolves around objects, not people," ABC correspondent Kate Snow said. ABC's Barbara Walters interviewed Thomas Beatie the "pregnant man" and touted her domestic situation as a "family." Beatie was born a woman and has kept her female reproductive organs in order to carry her baby, but takes hormones to retain the appearance of a man. There are "related" articles on the ABC web page that include articles about "transgendered children" and one titled, "My Mommy Is a Boy."

Vintage aircraft fly over Washington to mark World War Two's end
By Lacey Johnson
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 50 vintage World War Two airplanes soared over the U.S. capital's National Mall on Friday to mark the 70th anniversary of the Allied victory over Nazi Germany.
Tens of thousands of people crowded lawns between the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial to watch the 50-minute event, which featured 15 flying formations representing major battles during the war.
"I think it's wonderful that America remembers and...can afford to keep these old airplanes flying," said Bob Byrom, 86, who was one of the many World War Two veterans in attendance.
The non-profit group Arsenal for Democracy organized the 56-plane flyover, which included P-38 Lightning and P-51 Mustang fighters and the only B-29 Superfortress bomber still in flying condition.
"This is a slice of history that most people have never seen," said Brent Gulick, 60, from Rockville, Maryland. "You just saw planes that probably won't be around much longer."
The event marked the surrender of Nazi Germany on May 8, 1945. The United States produced almost 300,000 aircraft from 1941 to 1945, according to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans.
A handful of veterans on Friday flew in the same model planes they flew in during World War Two.
"It was nice, really nice. Brings back old memories," said Bill Hess, 91, from Bristol, Tennessee. Continued...

Hey Guys and Gals,
Coming to you from sunny South Dakota, and like the title says - I'm new to the whole Subaru experience. I've gotta say, there seems to be an insane ammount of knowledge on this site! Anywho - as first questions go - I was wondering how you guys would suggest finding a quality tuner (preferable one out here in the middle of nowhere!). I'm guessing there's some "interview" questions (if you will) posted on here somewhere - but my searches have been fruitless to this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

Nobiletin Helps Prevent Fatty Liver, High Cholesterol, Weight Gain, and Insulin Resistance
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
A new study with mice1 that are programmed to rapidly develop insulin resistance, fatty liver, and atherosclerosis found that nobiletin, a citrus-derived polymethoxylatedflavone, prevented the development of all three problems.
Nobiletin was found to lower LDL cholesterol by suppressing the production of triglyceride-rich VLDL cholesterol. Furthermore, nobiletin actually turned on genes in the liver that induced fat burning, thus preventing a build up of unhealthy fat in the liver. And nobiletin was found to promote insulin sensitivity, the opposite of insulin resistance, not only in the liver but at other locations around the body. In comparison to a control group that rapidly gained weight, the animals on nobiletin did not gain any extra weight even though they were fed the exact same diet. These beneficial effects "dramatically attenuated atherosclerosis."
"The Nobiletin-treated mice were basically protected from obesity," says Murray Huff, the Director of the Vascular Biology Research Group at Robarts. "And in longer-term studies, Nobiletin also protected these animals from atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in arteries, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. This study really paves the way for future studies to see if this is a suitable treatment for metabolic syndrome and related conditions in people."

Christmas is only 2 days away and Mommy has been working on christmas presents for me! I hope I get some good stuff also as of today it has been 6 months since that last time I had fleas! Yay! Hmm..also I just learned how to climb the fence to get in where the chickens are. I chase them around but I don't know if it is a good idea to eat one or not. Also one of Mommy's chickens disapeared and she is very sad I don't think I should eat them. Well more news coming on Christmas day!
Today I was so close to catching one of my Mommy's chickens! But Mommy came in time and stuck me in the shed. I'm getting mad at Mommy and those chickens! There are 8 of em and all I want is one. one little bitty chicken but Mom says "NO WAY !!!". After about 2 hours Mom finally put the chickens in there house and let me go out side. I hope I can catch one of em these days but intill then I'll just eat the left over turkey Mommy feeds me.
Today my Mommy took me out to the shed, and she laied down on the matress and she picked me up and put me next to her. Then I sat on top of her for a while untill she fell asleep, we took a nice long nap. I'm not sure how long it was but I had a wonderful time. I got to sleep with my Mommy on a bed! What a day! Well thats all for now!

Postagram is amongst the best postcard apps and it's free. It's simple to use along with the updated interface is amazing. When you open the app you're prompted to pick a photograph from the album, Instagram or Facebook. Once you you could make your choice you move and scale your picture and personalize your message. Next you need to put in a recipient and you'll be exposed to a preview of your respective postcard. On this page it informs you your total cost -- 99 cents, which is where you must input your credit card information. Then you are able to send off your postcard. Postagram uses thick glossy paper plus your postcard is with a black background with white font.
At first, your basic concern needs to be the advance of appealing pictures. The basis with this is people have the propensity of following accounts that only display probably the most appealing and striking snap shots. This is practical and it is frequently lost on marketers who are aiming to crack a whole new social field. Customers don't care should you be Nike or Adidas and even Facebook or their best football group their main purpose of located on instagram is to surf images and photographs that catches their fancy.
Most of girls like cooking and particularly designing clothes so for anybody who is trying to find appropriate games on your little girls, you can actually go on-line and search for "dress-up games" or "cooking games". There are many websites providing these games for completely free of charge. You are not necessary to install another software being able to take part in the games. These games are funny and obviously tend not to trouble for your girls' wellness in case you restrict the volume of hours they spend in front of the display screen.

A lot of cons in my area (ie: Another Anime Convention) have awesome theme integration .
Thank you for the suggestion. We've deliberately had a "Sunday is XYZ day" theme for the last day, to try to give Sunday a little more pep.
Friday has the greatest number of things going on, Saturday has the Masquerade as the big event; the Sunday theme is something to make Sunday a little special with things that aren't happening Friday and Saturday. This year the big centerpiece to our Sunday theme was the Gothic Mad Tea Party.
Spreading it out over the full length of the convention would defeat the purpose.

New Product Caters To Pen Chewing Compulsion [Pics]
Eindhoven Design Academy churns out a new pen that provides a tasty companion to writer's block.
While musing over ways to make pens more durable to nibbling, Dave Hakkens hit upon a novel idea to make better use of the redundant space that exists in a pen's casing.
Hakken's noticed that we only actually use the ink of the pen, while the rest of the plastic cover is just there to make it more comfortable to hold. Therefore, Hakkens's final design contains 22 pieces of edible peppermint flavored candy, rather than plastic, and is filled with edible ink. The only thing that isn't edible is the ballpoint that you press to the paper.
Hakkens pen uses similar ingedients to candy bracelets, with a hard, slightly chalkier candy that won't melt in your hand while you hold it.

The New Invisibility and US Desaparicidos
America's Disappeared: Secret Imprisonment, Detainees, and the 'War on Terror'
Rachel Meeropol, ed.
Reviewed by Joe Lockard
Indefinite detentions without trial, 'stress and duress' torture in secret confinement cells, and fly-by-night 'renditions' with chartered jets carrying anonymous prisoners to far points of the globe have become part of the post-9/11 underground government culture. It is remarkable yet little remarked that the New York Times runs an editorial entitled "Binding the Hands of Torturers" (October 8, 2005) defending legislation to outlaw torture in US military prison camps and observes that "Not only is the Bush administration trying to block the Senate's efforts to finally fix this enormous problem, but it continues to block any serious investigation of the abuse, torture and murder of prisoners." It requires serious naiveté to believe that the Bush administration's current argument that the Convention Against Torture does not apply to foreigners held outside the United States represents a hypothetical situation rather than current practice. The administration's threat to veto the entire defense appropriation bill over this anti-torture rider testifies to their understanding of such practices as irreplaceable elements of interrogation and detention.
It is at such points where the underground world rises above ground, seeking legitimization; official rule-of-law pretenses drop and a Hobbesian primal scene comes into view. The Leviathan is most alive at its ugliest public moments, those where the brutal message is a warning to citizens to behave so as to remain far from these scenes of violence enacted in the name of a benevolent and protective state. Citizens learn that citizenship provides limited protection, and non-citizens understand their complete vulnerability. As the Bush administration exercises its inventiveness to create and rationalize new modes of global policing, the politics of invisibility within this menacing Leviathan extend themselves and demand that its practices — not the prisoners — become the object of legal protection. Occasional witness testimonies, photographs, and documents may emerge, but this is an invisibility based on establishing a durable partition between state and public knowledge. The underground police and detention system cannot fulfill their vocation in a fundamentally transparent legal system. These alterations in protections extended by legal transparency are not limited to the United States. In Britain, the Blair government is in the midst of extending the current time limit of 14 days custody without charges to 90 days, despite splits among its own ministers over the new anti-terrorism bill. Once it was Britain's much-copied Emergency Regulations that provided the model for depriving colonial subjects of legal rights; today the dominant model originates in the United States and directs itself towards the coordination of a global legal network that supplies on-demand invisibility.
Facing this fundamental transformation of international security and detention systems, accompanied by massive expansion of newly-interlocking state security bureaucracies, the opposition appears slim by comparison. Civil rights law practice is a much-belated or unavailable remedy for most subjects caught up in this New Invisibility. By turning legal searchlights onto the US and global detention underground, the Center for Constitutional Rights, in New York City, has been one of the most active centers in the work of social illumination. Four of the five analytic essays in America's Disappeared were contributed by attorneys affiliated with the Center. The volume covers the legal situation of Guantánamo prisoners; the use of torture and rendition as counter-terrorism tools; the Abu Ghraib cases; and the intersection of post-9/11 immigration and terrorism cases. First-person accounts of prisoners have been interspersed between these chapters. America's Disappeared is an informal guide to law, experienced and practiced, in this new subterranean global geography.
The book contains testimonies from some better-known former prisoners, such as Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal, British citizens who were held without charges or discernable cause at Guantánamo, which make clear that the practices of Abu Ghraib were widespread. Short-shackling, sensory deprivation, physical stripping, threatening dogs, and beatings were used against inmates. Rasul and Iqbal were released due to an MI5 investigation that proved their alibis and due to British government pressure, but as attorney and Center director Michael Ratner observes, as many as an estimated fifth of Guantánamo detainees may be innocent bystanders without access to either due process or means to prove their innocence. Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen and engineer detained by the United States at JFK airport in New York, while in transit from Tunisia via Switzerland to Canada, provides a statement of his rendition to Syria despite ceaseless protests that he would be tortured there. Between September 2002 and December 2003 Arar was tortured in a Syrian prison, mostly being whipped with a cable, until he agreed to sign a false confession that he had received military training in an al-Qaeda camp in Afghanistan. For over six months he stayed in a 3x6-foot dark cell, a living grave. Again, the Canadian government was able to effect his release, but only a very small number of such detainees under torture have rights-conscious western governments and middle-class families to intercede in their behalf. Indeed, if international human rights norms prevailed, why should one Caesar contest with another Caesar for humane treatment of subjects imprisoned without trial?
It is more difficult to make persuasive linkages between such false-charge security cases and immigration deportation cases, but Rachel Meeropol tries in an essay entitled "The Post 9/11 Terrorism Investigation and Immigrant Detention." She argues that "Buttressed by draconian legislation and anti-immigrant discrimination, the US system of immigration detention has become a tool of repression wielded at the will of the executive and sheltered from meaningful scrutiny by the judiciary." Much of the essay is off-point from this argument, so Meeropol is less than successful even as she identifies an important 'homeland security' ideological nexus that conflates threats from al-Qaeda terrorists and economic migrants. Moreover, one of the problems with Meeropol's essay lies in its implicit acquiescence to repeated right-wing equations of 9/11-style terrorists and hard-working, impoverished immigrants seeking an opportunity. The demonization of 'illegal aliens' as an intrinsic threat to American nationhood has become one of the most offensive hallmarks of the New Invisibility. The political question as framed by US right-wing politics has become how to make undocumented immigrants disappear from the body public. Some of the legal abuses – particularly lengthy detentions under poor conditions, with denial of legal representation – employed towards this end arise from the temptation of state bureaucracy to make a problem 'disappear' through confinement and deportation.
Barbara Olshansky concludes the volume with a lengthy essay that reviews the cases of Jose Padilla and Yasser Hamdi in order to outline that aggrandizement of legal powers that the Bush administration has pursued. The use of 'enemy combatant' designation has functioned to create a new class subject to administrative fiat, one not afforded either international protections afforded combatants, whether lawful or unlawful, or domestic protections afforded US citizens who are to be either charged with crimes or released. Padilla and Hamdi are living in a legal status defined only by the Bush administration's desire to have all powers it demands to conduct war against al-Qaeda. However, the Bush administration's attorneys have handed al-Qaeda one of its most significant achievements through the diminution of constitutional protections. This is the same abuse as Justice Stevens condemned in Padilla v. Rumsfeld (2004), writing "Unconstrained Executive detention for the purpose of investigating and preventing subversive activity is the hallmark of the Star Chamber" and calling for a legal system that refuses to "wield the tools of tyrants even to resist an assault by the forces of tyranny."
Olshansky's essay reads like a passionate brief in defense of civil liberties, which it is, but hers is also an absolutist position that cannot afford to acknowledge any boundaries to its argument. Discussing the Padilla case, for example, she indulges the hyperbole that the arbitrary and indefinite detention of an American citizen "is one of the most drastic steps in our nation's history." In fact, these were the same means Lincoln employed to suppress pro-Southern sentiment in northern and border states. Olshansky paradoxically echoes Copperhead leader Clement Vallandigham's bitter protests over suspension of habeas corpus (an ex-congressman, Vallandigham eventually was expelled to Confederate lines and spent the last year of the war in forced exile in Canada, from where he received the Democratic nomination for governor and lost heavily in the election). She concludes by citing with approval Chief Justice Roger Taney's futile protest in Ex parte Merryman that neither the president nor the president's officers could be permitted any exception that would allow such suspension. That case involved the US Army's seizure and detention of John Merryman, a Maryland resident who recruited and officered a company of pro-Confederate militia, and the military's refusal to honor the Chief Justice's writ of habeas corpus. Taney, of course, was a white supremacist and Southern sympathizer who shared the pro-slavery beliefs of detainees who supported disunion and the Confederacy. Lincoln ignored Taney and the Supreme Court; his administration arrested and held some 13,000 US citizens for trial by military tribunals or no trial at all. When the court ruled once again in 1866 at Ex parte Milligan against suspension of habeas corpus, the war was finished and their opinion had little practical effect. The Padilla case, while significant today, remains miniscule by historical comparison.
To re-phrase the point, however, given a history where generations of Africans were captured, transported, and detained for generations, and in the context of prosecuting a war that would bring their emancipation, was it an abuse of executive power to arrest pro-Southern and pro-slavery speakers, even to try them for treason before military commissions and execute them? A response affirming the necessity of that executive decision would be the one that considered the right of slaves to emancipation and, to preserve the instrument of attaining their freedom, the pressing need for the Union to suppress pro-Confederate agitation. When Frank J. Williams, chief justice of the Rhode Island supreme court and a major general sitting on the Military Commissions review panel, in a 2004 article in the New York University Annual Survey of American Law appropriated Lincoln to defend Bush administration policy, he did so with a vacuous 'defense of democracy' comparison. The unsatisfactory nature of such comparisons arises from absent contextual specificity: democracy lies in the specifics of individual and class realizations of equality, not in amorphous rhetorical invocations.
Since the history of black slavery in the United States runs so deep, reading out race from the exercise of habeas corpus claims underlines how this right has been treated as a form of white privilege. Millions of black slaves never got to file such a writ: the Civil War was their effective habeas corpus. So if one endorses Lincoln's decision as necessary in order to preserve the Union and defeat slavery, then it follows that there exist conceivable circumstances for suspension of habeas corpus. This is not a possibility that Olshansky appears to consider or would likely entertain. Thus Olshansky finds herself in the unanticipated, uncomfortable company of neo-Confederate historians, who condemn Lincoln as a tyrant for precisely this alleged abuse of executive power. Ironically, where human rights-centered politics manifest an absolutist refusal to contextualize rights, they can end by condemning any contextualization of those rights. Stripping historical context means that a case such as McArdle, a Reconstruction-era case of a white Mississippi editor who was arrested by military authorities for newspaper articles calling for resistance to federal 'occupation' and who filed for habeas corpus, comes to be treated as only a free-speech issue rather than a prelude to the successful re-establishment of white supremacy, Ku Klux Klan terror campaigns, and Jim Crow's exclusion of blacks from citizenship and government.
The point is that the legal ethics involved in suspension or abridgement of civil rights are not absolute, as Olshansky argues, and that all-or-nothing universal formulations do not respond adequately to historical contexts. Stating this does not excuse the Bush administration for its prolonged assault against civil liberties, but does acknowledge the possibility that a balancing test, albeit one heavily weighted against over-reaching executive branch claims, can be constructed as a means of social self-defense against the demonstrated capacities of advocates of mass violence.
This, however, is only a hole in an over-broad argument. The current reality lies in the legal abuses of the Bush administration and its plans to expand infringement of civil liberties under cover of the 'War on Terror.' The New Invisibility and its growing, intimidating set of subterranean state security institutions have created grave damage against the rule of law in the United States.

Yash Chopra, the King of Romance, who sparked life and romance on the celluloid, breathed his last in Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai today. Recently in the news for his deteriorating health, suffering from a dengue attack, Yash ji, was heard recovering, but suddenly news flashed that he left us all.
Born in British India, Lahore, now in Paksitan, in 1932, this film director, screenwriter and film producer, was everyone's favourite.
No words can express, Yash Ji's contribution to Indian Cinema, from Meena Kumari to Shah Rukh Khan, he has penned down beautiful poetry. His directorial techniques are well-spoken off and replicated by almost any aspiring director. He splashed the Hindi Cine with colours of romance, jealously, love, friendship and every possible emotion. His movies were loved by all, he signatured the dancing in and around the Swiss Alps, amidst huge landscape, fields of flower, under waterfalls, on snow-covered mountains, best possible foreign locations. His films and their romantic sequences were a must watch and worth awe-ing for.
He delivered on screen the sheer skills and expertise that none other could even think during his times. An innovator as it may be put; Yash Chopra's bannered movies were blockbusters, immensely popular amongst the masses. He made us fall in love all over again, with each of his masterpiece.
A career that spanned for about five decades, his last venture a total Yash Chopra Romance "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" is about to hit the screens this Diwali. With it came the news that this will be his last directorial venture, who would have ever thought that it would indeed be.
The star recently celebrated his 80th birthday on September 27th, where all poured their love and best wishes on him. He even attended Amitabh Bachchan's 70th birthday party along with his wife. Yash Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan's association that been a sure-shot success formula. Deewar, Silsila, Kabhi Kabhi, all are etched down on pillars across memory lanes and history of Indian Cinema.
The masses have been aghast by his sudden demise, all are in state of shock, all who loved him and his work are reminiscing his beautiful, romantic dramas which have the intensity still to move any soul.
We all wish that may his soul rest in peace!

Scappoose teams excel in running events, not so much in some field events
The Scappoose Indians got back into track action last Thursday, hosting Banks in a somewhat laid-back meet.
The Tribe boys won every running event but one and added field firsts in the long jump and triple jump on their way to a 91-54 win over the Braves.
The Scappoose girls also dominated the running events, except for the 100 and 200 sprints, and the short relay. Their only field event win came in the long jump from freshman Kayleigh Horecky.
The Tribe boys didnt unleash all of their top weapons at Banks, using their depth instead and holding back a bit in preparation for the Lower Columbia Invitational on Saturday. It will be a similar situation this week with the YC meet on Thursday and the Wilsonville Invitational on Saturday.
Overall, though Harley was pleased with the performance and is working to improve the squads. The boys will have to settle on relay teams fairly shortly, but its mostly because they have an embarrassment of talent.
The girls do have an area or two that we need to strengthen as the season progresses and the field events will be a key area, the coach said. Banks has tremendous girls in the field so they probably made us look weaker than we actually are. It was very encouraging to see everyone get excited with the opportunity to perform again and they made the most of it.
The Indians Paul Revis keeps improving. Hes a senior, but out for track for the first time. He won the 100 with a four-tenths improvement, and came within four inches of setting a nearly 40-year Scappoose school record in the long jump. He went 22-feet, 1-inch. The record is 22-5. Revis also ran in two relays.
On top of his exploits, other Scappoose winners included Nick Rust in the 200, Dan Carrier in the 800, Jacob Harley in the 1,500, Mikal Rekdal in the 3,000, and David Krupsky in the high hurdles. Scappoose also won both relays, and also had seconds in both relays. The only field event wins for the Tribe came from Revis in the long jump and Joey Krupsky in the triple jump.
It was a similar meet for the Scappoose girls, but they had a little less depth in the sprint eventslosing both the 100, 200, and short relay.
Charlie Davidson cruised to a win the 400, but didnt run in the 800 and 1,500, events where she has placed at state over the previous two seasons. Tia Carnahan, also a state placer in the 3,000, easily won the 1,500 with Abby Kessi right behind. Macy Gray, a freshman won the 3,000 and Caley Ricker, another freshman was a close second.
Freshman Eleanor Jones was another bright spot for the Scappoose girls. She won both hurdle events and is not far off a state finals time. She also ran in both relays.
The Tribe teams are at Yamhill-Carlton for a meet next week, and will be in the Wilsonville Invitational on Saturday, April 20. They host Tillamook on April 25.

Clearing builder's rubbish buried at foot of garden + BEES!
I live in a flat which is the ground floor of a converted Victorian house. I've spent the past year working on the long garden, which had fallen into a very neglected state.
At the end of the garden there's a patch of earth measuring 5 metres in width and 3.5 metres in length. The soil rises two or three feet from the end of the garden path.
I would like to level it, and plant a few small trees and shrubs, and turn one corner into a seating area. Neighbouring houses have turned this space into decking, or have sheds or studios there.
However as I dug down, I discovered that builder's waste had been buried there, from when the house was converted into flats. I don't think the whole mound is filled with this waste - there's a lot of soil there too. But there's quite a bit of it, and it's been there about fifteen years. I don't mean bricks or rubble, it's more like old linoleum and fittings, since it was dumped there after the property's conversion into flats rather than initial construction.
Who would I hire to dig out all of the rubbish, and level the soil? Would it be a gardener, a casual labourer, or some kind of waste disposal person? How much could I expect to pay?
The only access to the garden is through the front door and through the house, so it wouldn't be possible to get anything like a digger in.
Because of the height of the shed and studio in the adjacent gardens, I think we would need to just level, or 'build up' the soil on this area, not actually remove it all.
Given enough time, and a solid pair of work gloves, I could do the job myself, if I hired a skip in which to dump all the rubbish. Though could it be hazardous in any way?
I'd appreciate any suggestions for the best way to approach this.
Here's a photo of what I've removed so far - rotten linoleum, rusted barrels, drain rods, bits of pipe:
And a general shot of the space:
Thanks for reading.
I just spent a little more time working on it, and found a garden rake is the best way to pull the rubbish away; better than a shovel.
But there are quite a few bees flying low above the rubbish, which now has made me worried that perhaps there's a nest in the ground.
And as I dig away, I might uncover something more dangerous than old floor tiles....
Yep--you likely have a yellow jacket nest---Sevin dust is the best to kill an entire nest-
Sit near by and watch these things---soon enough you can find the nest--they make a 'bee line' to the hole.
Dump a cup of powder on the hole---best to do this at night when they are all in the nest.
The entering yellow jackets will drag the poison into the nest.
Don't kid around with them---last time I hit a nest I was stung 28 times (and stopped breathing)
Thank god the paramedics arrived in time----
Thanks for your reply. Actually I just went and took a closer look and they are definitely bumble bees!
The most I will see at any one time is about 5-6, flying out of and around the same newly-revealed spot where I have been digging away the rubbish.
So I guess I have disturbed them a little bit, but the actual nest is buried deeper than I have reached, and I haven't got them into war mode quite yet.
I'm curious how far underground can bees nest?
If I keep digging, I am going to get trouble, right? At this stage I should get an expert in?
I expect the pest-removal guy is not going to be interested in digging through rubbish, and the waste-disposal/labourer wouldn't be enthusiastic about digging up a beehive. So maybe I need both.
Here's a picture I took. It's difficult to get them to stay still long enough to be photographed!
Pictures to fuzzey to see what they are.
Mike already told you how to handle it. You can call an expert for lots of $ or follow his advice. If you DIY make sure you do it at night or a rainy day
I don't know where you are located in the world, but assuming that you have a cold season and you're willing and able to wait, I'd leave this until things get good and cold. The bees won't bother you then. If you don't have a cold season, then you are going to have to get a professional in to deal with the vespids safely.
That area isn't enormous, I'd tackle it myself. If you can pull the junk out piece by piece and put it someplace where it can be accessed and inspected, you can either rent a debris dumpster or find a contractor that is doing a demolition somewhere and ask if they would be willing to take your debris for a few pounds/dollars/other relevant currency. They'll want to see it first so they know that they aren't dealing with anything hazardous. I'd be sure to dig everything up and get it level first so you know exactly how much debris you have.
UK, I would guess
Thanks for all your good advice. Yes, I'm in the UK.
I've been reading up on bees, and it seems clear they are 'Bombus terrestris': http://www.bumblebee.org/terr.htm
I found this interesting reading about their nests, too: http://www.bumblebee.org/faqNests.htm
Yesterday evening and this morning I kept on digging out rubbish safely to the sides of the stretch where the nest must be, and I'll now try raking and leveling these side areas. The whole area is about 5 metres across, and the span with the bees emerging and patrolling is obviously much smaller, a metre or so. I guess they have made their nest in the space under some rolled-up carpet or linoleum, because that's the kind of rubbish I've been digging out. If I was stupid, I could lift off a piece and find I'd disturbed the nest.
So yes, sounds like I'm best off avoiding this stretch until late in the year. However, I may be stupid and find my 'itch' to keep working on it risks a more painful type of itch. I will wait till a wet evening, if I do decide to risk it.
Kind of urban archeology----Have you found any thing interesting?
Looking good---
Keep up the good work jim, you'll find that you value your newly reclaimed space all the more because of the work you did for it.
Thanks, guys. At the bottom are some better pictures of how it now looks.
I'm wondering what to do with the space. I could put a shed there. We already have a patio that catches the sun, so I don't think I'd want to turn it into decking.
But actually I was thinking to flatten the soil, put down woodchip, and put a couple of comfy garden chairs in one corner. I'd line the edges with shrubs and small trees, if I'm sure the soil is clean of rubbish and I can find the right types to be okay in the shade.
I like the idea of this space being like a childhood den, a secret corner at the end of the garden to read a book, or sit with a friend.
At the moment it is just a pile of rubbish filled with bees and midges, but it's good to have ambitions!
What would you do with a space like this?

Heavy Rains in Sydney - Messing with my E34
Hi Guys, I have done a search however nothing helps my particular problem.
We have had very heavy rain in Sydney over the past 24 hours. My car was parked outside. I woke up at 3:00am thismorning to the sound of my car alarm ringing (not sure what caused the alarm to be triggered, Im thinking water in electrics?). I ran out in the rain to turn the alarm off and found firstly, my interior lights were on, then I found that an abundance of water had leaked through the sunroof, trickling its way down the passenger front windscreen pillar and creating a pool in my passenger footwell.
I tried to start the car and sure enough a flat battery. I had no choice but to leave it until the morning. 3 hours later I jumped the car and did my best and soaking up the water. 3 Problems I now face.
1. When the car is on, I get a chime on the dash saying that one of the doors is open (when they are all closed). Every time I come to a Stop and them move forward again, the "door open" chime rings again.
2. When I turn the car off the reverse lights remain on, even when the car is not in reverse. The reverse lights stay on even when the LKM is disconnected (not sure if the LKM controls the reverse lights or not)
3. From the searches I have done, the sunroof drain is probably clogged which is causing the water to leak inside. Anyone know any tricks and tips in getting to the sunroof drain and cleaning it?
Thanks in advance.

i actually have 1 other noel candle like it too,i got both of them from 1 seller off ebay like couple years ago or so along with 1 other candle,my grandma also has one too so we got 3 total in our family
I wish I could remember where I got it! It was many years ago. It may have been a school fundraiser!
