For anyone curious to hear about the miraculous events that unfolded during our nation's darkest hour, this documentary exploring the stories largely ignored by the mainstream press explores the many strange "coincidences" that occurred on and around September 11, 2001. From the woman whose husband was on United flight ninety-three and who prophesized that he would perish in some tragedy related to the White House to the man who survived despite being on the top floor of the first building hit, the woman who died while being rescued and came back to life, and the Hispanic woman who begged the lord for help only to find him intervening in the most unlikely of manners, this release will prompt viewers to question everything they every thought they knew about that fearful and fateful day. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Phantom Force
Something of a Ghostbusters without the laughs (or the high-end special effects), the direct-to-video thriller Phantom Force involves a prehistoric rock which holds the power to revive ancient demons. Long buried in the ocean, the rock is found by the crew of a nuclear submarine--which is immediately demonized and transformed into a floating weapon of mass destruction. Counter-terrorism expert and part-time psychic Mark Dupree (Richard Grieco) and his crack Phantom Force team are summoned to save the day, and the world. Dupree and company end up duking it out with malevolent spirits in an alternate dimension. Rated "R" on home video, Phantom Force nonetheless looked like the pilot for an unsold TV series, and as such was perfect fare for cable's Sci-Fi Channel, where it made its premiere on March 27, 2004. (Incidentally, director Christian McIntire tried but failed to have his name removed from the credits. Take heed). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

To enhance her latest project, Warren invites the participation of anonymous phone callers, whose voices she records. One of her unseen "collaborators" calls her up to confess to a murder--several murders, in fact. Warren strongly suspects that the mystery caller may be intending a little "performance" involving her own demise. Peter Weller co-stars as a sympathetic detective who ends up Warren's lover--but can he be trusted? Made for HBO, Apology was originally telecast July 27, 1986. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A woman fears that her amnesia-stricken husband may be a serial killer in this made-for-cable thriller. After family man Ed Vinson gruesomely murders his wife and kids and skips town, police investigator Joe Steiner (Richard Widmark) becomes obsessed with capturing the monster -- even after he's forced to retire from the force. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, a traffic accident kills one man and leaves another (Keith Carradine) a hideously disfigured amnesiac. Police can't figure out who the survivor is, so he takes the name Allen Devlin and, after reconstructive surgery, falls in love with and marries his recently divorced nurse, Chris Graham (Kathleen Quinlan). Several years later, Steiner shows up in town, convinced Devlin is really Ed Vinson; his dogged pursuit threatens the happiness the Devlins have carved out for themselves and their children -- especially after a series of gruesome rapes begins to occur. The evidence seems to implicate Allen in the attacks, but Chris suspects that her old boyfriend, cop Mike Patterson (Michael Beck), is trying to frame him. The tension escalates as Chris suffers through a series of anonymous phone calls from a man who seems to think he's Ed Vinson; when her son finds a grotesque fetish mask in the garage, even Chris begins to doubt her husband's innocence. Directed by British horror veteran Douglas Hickox and written by Amityville 3D scribe David Ambrose, Blackout premiered on the Home Box Office network in 1985. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

The Last of the Blue Devils: The Kansas City Jazz Story

Add The Last of the Blue Devils: The Kansas City Jazz Story to top of Queue
Last of the Blue Devils is an affectionate backward glance at the Kansas City "blues" scene of the 1930s. Established as a mecca for jazz musicians during the Prohibition Era, K.C. spawned some of the best musical talent of the era. The film's nostalgia is leavened with mild outrage in noting that, while many of the best blues men were permitted to strut their stuff before white audiences, none were allowed to utilize anything other than "colored only" facilities. Count Basie is the biggest "name" represented in the film, though this should not diminish the contribution of such dynamos as Big Joe Turner, Walter Page and Jay McShann. Last of the Blue Devils was produced and directed by Bruce Ricker, who later turned out a praiseworthy documentary on Thelonious Monk. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this made-for-cable sequel to Pythons, the U.S. Army's Colonel Jefferson (Marcus Aurelius) has successfully neutralized the horrific 12-ton, 57-foot python that had been developed as a jungle weapon by a top-secret intelligence organization. Unfortunately, still another synthetic "Beta Snake" has escaped from Sub-Basement 9 of the Russian-American Joint Military Operations -- and this one is 85 feet long, and even meaner and more invulnerable than the original python prototype. When the slimy predator slithers into the Ural Mountains, it is up to disgraced ex-ballplayer Dwight Stoddard (Dana Ashbrook) and his Russian wife Nadia (Simone Jade McKinnon) to capture and kill the monster. Alas, mysterious American Greg Larson (Billy Zabka), who claims to be a "biotechnician," proves to be the real snake in the grass in this melodramatic Bulgarian-American coproduction. Pythons II was first telecast in the U.S. by the Sci-Fi Channel on August 17, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Sylvester Stallone is a tough but essentially decent convict in a relatively humane prison. He's on such good terms with the authorities that he's occasionally allowed a weekend furlough. This idyllic situation ends abruptly when he's transferred to a nasty prison run by sadistic warden Donald Sutherland (remember way back when Sutherland played good guys and Stallone played secondary hoodlums?) Harboring a grudge against Sly over an unfortunate incident at another prison, Sutherland does everything he can to make Stallone's term a Hell on Earth. But in the end, it is Sutherland who is Stallone's prisoner--and, since Sly's name comes first on the credits, it is Sutherland who blubberingly confesses to a string of crimes perpetrated on the helpless inmates. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I need to identify the class or id of the header widget so that I can remove its border, but I can't see how to do that.
I need a banner alongside my header logo, and the best place I could figure to put it was in a Header Widget. It spaced badly, forcing itself down beneath the logo, but I added a negative margin to push it back up alongside the logo. All well there, but it has the grey border assigned to div.suf-widget class around it. I tried to modify just that particular border but couldn't do it, and the best I've managed so far is to remove the border around ALL instances of div.suf-widget. It works for removing the border around the banner, but unfortunately its also removed the border around widgets in the sidebar.
Can you tell me how to reference just that instance so I can remove its border please?

Fort Lee, New Jersey
"The Motion Picture Capital of America"
We're all familiar with the term "cliffhanger", used to describe a movie filled with suspense, danger, and "seat-of-your pants" thrills. But did you know that the term originated out of the early serials filmed on the New Jersey Palisades in Fort Lee–the birthplace of the motion picture industry in America?
The movies came to Fort Lee when pioneer companies started to look for new filming locations. In 1907, it was found that the Palisades near Fort Lee and Coytesville could be used for "Wild West" scenes and other outdoor scenes. Rambo's Hotel on First Street was used as a place to dress as well as for the exterior of a Western saloon.
In 1907, Thomas Alva Edison used the cliffs of the Palisades for the exterior of Rescued from an Eagle's Nest. It was in this picture that D.W. Griffith, later to become more famous as a director, first appeared in a starring role as an actor. Although his first directorial effort, The Adventures of Dolly, was actually made in Sound Beach, CT, rather than in Fort Lee (as is listed in some secondary sources), Griffith did direct Mary Pickford in The Lonely Villa in Fort Lee in 1909. In this film, Griffith employed his most sophisticated use to date of the technique of "cross-cutting" or the cut-back to build up tension. In The New York Hat, with Mary Pickford, he presented many members of the Biograph family: Lionel Barrymore, Dorothy and Lillian Gish, and Jack Pickford. In The Battle, which was shot in the Coytesville section of the Borough in 1911, he introduced all the "battle photography" which he later expanded in his film The Birth of a Nation. An early example of the "slapstick" comedy was Biograph's The Curtain Pole, directed by D.W. Griffith. It was shot on the streets of Fort Lee in late 1908 and started the career of the "King of Comedy", Mack Sennett.

Marin County News & Developments
Marin County ( /məˈrɪn/) is a county located in the North San Francisco Bay Area of the U.S. state of California, across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. As of 2010, the population was 252,409. The county seat is San Rafael and the largest employer is the county government. Marin County is well known for its natural beauty, liberal politics, affluence and a strong New Age reputation. In May 2009, the county had the fifth highest income per capita in the United States at $91,483. The county is governed by local cities and the Marin County Board of Supervisors.
San Quentin Prison is located in the county, as is Skywalker Ranch. Autodesk, the publisher of AutoCAD, is also located there, as well as numerous other high-tech companies. The headquarters of film and media company Lucasfilm Ltd., previously based in San Rafael, have moved to the Presidio of San Francisco.

Environmentalists rappel off Richmond Bridge to protest Chevron
Rebecca Bowe This morning, May 23, activists from Amazon Watch and the Rainforest Action Network rappelled off the Richmond Bridge and unfurled a 50 foot banner which read: Chevron Guilty: Clean Up Amazon. Anchored to the bridge deck, three brave souls dangled airborne above the bay alongside the banner, within view of an oil tanker. The banner drop was carried out to draw attention to Chevrons environmental contamination in the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador. In an historic court victory in Ecuador on Feb. 14, Chevron was found guilty of causing $18 billion worth of environmental damage to a Rhode Island-sized swath of the Amazon. The widespread soil and water contamination, caused by decades of toxic dumping by Texaco and Chevron, has been linked to high rates of cancer and birth defects. Amazon Watch has been campaigning to get Chevron to clean up the oil pollution for 18 years. Chevron has said they are going to appeal the decision, noted Paul Paz y Miño, managing director of Amazon Watch. Theyve said theyll fight it till hell freezes over. So activists are keeping the pressure on. Chevron will hold its annual shareholder meeting on May 25 in San Ramon, and a coalition of environmental organizations are using the occasion to draw attention to environmental problems the company has caused worldwide. Three community leaders from the impacted Ecuadorian region traveled to California to share their stories and join in protests outside the shareholders meeting. Their personal stories are moving. Humberto Piaguaje is a leader of the indigenous Secoya people of Ecuadors northern Amazon rainforest, whose numbers in that region have dwindled from thousands to just several hundred since Texaco arrived in the area nearly 50 years ago. Carmen Zambrano moved to the Amazonian region affected by Chevron in 1984, and according to her bio, tells stories of how the company told people that the crude was good for their health, and that the contaminated water was safe to bathe and wash in, to drink from. Her own children are terminally ill and developmentally disabled. Her sister-in-law suffers from cancer; her brother-in-law has serious heart problems. Her neighbors have died and almost everyone she knows has skin ailments. Serbio Curipoma, a cacao farmer from the Orellana province of Ecuador, lost his parents and sister to cancer. According to his bio, He realized six years ago that the house his family has lived in for 20 years had been built directly atop an unremediated covered oil pit; digging just a few meters into the earth reveals thick crude. The trio from Ecuador will be joined by leaders from Chevron-affected communities in Nigeria, Indonesia, Canada, Angola, and Alaska at a teach-in at Berkeleys David Brower Center May 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. on The True Cost of Chevron. Paz y Miño noted that Amazon Watch is hoping to amass 30,000 signatures for the 30,000 plaintiffs in the Chevron case in a petition the group plans to deliver to company shareholders and executives during the meeting. They are also hoping to raise funds to cover the cost of the delegation. |

I will restart this thread with a fresh take on Marin County news and views.
First up: second In-n-Out in Novato, then another Panda Express for Marin County? I believe that opening more chain restaurants could help the County recover from the economic downturn. But it doesn't mean that the cities will just churn out building site approvals for more fast food chains to come to Marin. I mean, each restaurant has its unique characteristics, but I think a sustainable policy for Marin would be: For every chain restaurant opening in the county, there should be at least two locally-owned restaurants opening along with it. It could help the county coffers, but opening more locally-owned restaurants will promote more tax dollars spent within the county. How does that sound?

The Latest News | Before We Turn Into the U.S.S.A.
Government Employees, Academia Among Top Obama Contributors
- Details
- Wednesday, 03 October 2012 08:06
- Written by Darrell Lect
President Obama is getting re-election support from familiar groups as he strives for a $1 billion campaign fund. OpenSecrets.org reports that U.S. government employees are among the biggest donors to his campaign, as Obama has exploded the size of government, along with employee's salaries under his tenure. Additionally, members of academia are another top donor group, showing how elitist university professors that teach in theory and not reality enjoy having a Marxist in charge.
While these stats are not surprising, they shed light on the psychological reciprocity enabled by liberals: we'll give you expanded entitlements for sitting around on your fat asses in return for votes. Academia is no surprise, as universities are riddled with Marxist crackpots that truly believe their utopian theory will work, if they just had more time and money - despite dictatorships and socialist dystopias failing at every corner. The government employees, based on how much the government has expanded under Obama, is another non-shocker.
Details from CNS News:
U.S. government employees and their families have thus far contributed $396,550 to President Barack Obama's reelection campaign, making them one of the top five sources of cash for the campaign to reelect the president, according to Opensecrets.org.
Employees of the U.S. State Department and their families have, by themselves, contributed $213,256 to the Obama reelection campaign. Standing alone, State Department employees and their families are the 17th largest contributors to the Obama campaign, ranking just above the employees and family members of Wells Fargo, who have contributed $202,216 to the Obama campaign.
By contrast, employees of five major banks and their families have been among the top sources of campaign funds for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
The academic community has also been very supportive of President Obama's reelection bid. With employees of the University of California and their families being the very top contributors to his campaign--having given the campaign a total of $703,781 in campaign contributions so far in this election cycle--and employees of Harvard and their families being the fourth largest contributors to the president's campaign.
Here, as calculated by OpenSecrets.org, are the top five organizations whose employees and employee family members have given the most to President Obama's reelection campaign:
1. University of California -- $703,781
2. Microsoft -- $544,445
3. Google Inc -- $526,009
4. Harvard University -- $431,860
5. U.S. Government -- $396,550
As for Google and Microsoft employees, that's a standard affair. The article also shows top donors to Mitt Romney's campaign, most of which are banks. The Obama despots will state that Romney is in bed with the banks and wants to roll back (illegal) regulations. Oddly enough, it was Obama in 2008 that received more donations from Wall Street than any other candidate in history.
It's interesting to see who is donating to who. In Obama's case, he's worked so hard to pay back his donors from the last election that it's no surprise he has the same morons lining up for him this time around.

This striking warbler has been a focus of conservation efforts during the past decade because of severe population declines (over 3% per year since 1966). So dramatic has been its decline that the United States Fish & Wildlife Service has been petitioned to list the Cerulean Warbler as Threatened Species under the Endangered Species Act; it has been designated as a "species of special concern" by the Canadian wildlife service.
No one knows for sure why this bird has been quietly slipping away, but habitat loss on both its breeding and wintering grounds is certainly an important factor. Unfortunately, we have relatively little information about the ecology of this species because it spends much of its time high in the forest canopy.
To better understand the causes of the Cerulean Warbler's decline, researchers at Queen's University in Canada and at the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center joined in analyzing a long-term dataset on survival rates and reproductive success collected at the Queen's University Biological Station (QUBS) in eastern Ontario. The Cerulean Warbler population at QUBS is thought to be one of the largest and healthiest known, and its numbers here have remained stable since at least the early 1990s.
Using a computer simulation model, the researchers found that the Cerulean Warbler population sampled at QUBS is actually a "sink" population, meaning it is not self-sustaining and must be receiving immigrants from other areas in order to persist over time.
Researchers have discovered that:
Given these grim survival and reproductive rates, the QUBS breeding population would become extinct in less than 50 years without immigration.

The apparel industry is having a rough time right now, as we were all further reminded by the dismal holiday shopping season. However, there is one market at least that seems to be continuing its growth in spite of the economy: designer children's wear. It is outperforming even women's wear divisions.
Reasons cited for its success include plateauing birthrates combined with an increase in career moms with more money to spend as well as an increased desire in women for their children to reflect their own personal style. Philip Lim Kids, Little Ella Moss, John Galliano and Little Marc Jacobs are all top-selling kid's lines at Barney's New York. Jean Paul Gaultier plans to develop a kid's line next fall and Burberry will be opening up free-standing children's clothing stores in New York, Hong Kong and Palo Alto, California.

Listen up class, I'm your new teacher. There are a lot of things I need to share with you and educate you with, mostly how hot my huge tits are, and how good I look pulling off my clothes on this desk. How badly do you want to stay after class with me? You'll be serving detention alone with me, and I want you to write how gorgeous I am one hundred times. What do you say? Will you be the teacher's pet and watch me rub my pussy at the blackboard?

The bulls continue their March towards new highs (no pun intended) as the President signs our nation's new health bill today. The passage of the landmark legislation is now official and many of the changes will take place this year.
Obama said it gets the wheels rolling on "desperately needed reforms" sought by generations of Americans. He also said America can afford this bill so we shall see.
In economic news, existing home sales fell less than expected as the National Association of Realtors reported sales of previously occupied homes fell 0.6% last month to an annual rate of 5.02 million units. Wall Street had expected sales would fall to 5 million.
Despite some turbulence, the Dow is flying higher and is up 44 points to 10,830. The S&P 500 is up 3 points to 1,168 while the Nasdaq is enjoying a 6 point pop and is at 2,402.
Folks, if we can hold these levels, we could be setting our sights and our next set of targets for the indexes we have been mentioning all week. We would list them but you already know the deal if you have been following us.
Turning to earnings, Walgreen's (WAG, $35.74, up $0.31) is getting a slight nudge higher despite reporting numbers that failed to match expectations. The company reported a profit of $669 million, or $0.68 a share, versus $640 million, or $0.65 a share, in the year earlier period.
Sales rose 3% to $17 billion but Wall Street was looking for Walgreen to earn $0.71 a share on $17.2 billion in revenue. Although they missed, Walgreen's earnings matched depressed expectations and gross margins came in better-than-expected which is why shares are seeing a little bump.
We have a lot to discuss in our Members Area and a few of our trades are making explosive moves today to the good. We also have a NEW trade that we will be going after so let's get to it!

Question: My wife and I both hunt deer during open season along with small game, preferably squirrels. We carry two rifles each (one for deer and the other for squirrel). After hours of hiking, though, it can get tiring.
My question is, if I were to carry a small-caliber rifle to hunt squirrel and my wife carries a big-caliber rifle to hunt deer, would it be legal for us to switch guns during the same trip?
For example, after she tags her deer, I could use her gun to hunt for deer while she uses the small- caliber rifle to hunt squirrels? Or, would we have to continue carrying two guns each to hunt the two different species? John

decimal pixel values for text-shadow?
I've used decimal px values on occasion, but on a whim I just tried it on text-shadow and was quite surprised at the result
color: #c8c8c8; background-color: #fff; font-size: 18px; text-shadow: 0.1px 0.5px 0px #666;
Any thoughts on using decimal px values? It goes a long way towards making my text-shadows pop without looking over-bearing. -Michael
Unfortunately, it's not actually doing anything. If you replace 0.1px and 0.5px with 0px it will look the exact same.
Here's the example: http://codepen.io/ggilmore/pen/rybeL
And a screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/0r0q123a2v38 Top: decimals Middle: 0px Bottom: 1px
I'm using firefox and firebug to move the values from .1 to .9 and I can see the shadow move
The example agrees with you in Chrome, but in Firefox you can see the difference. Chrome must round the px value.. which tends to limit the coolness of the effect.
Ah yes, I was looking in Chrome. I'd imagine Safari and IE act similarly.
Firefox is dealing with sub-pixels. Not others major browsers as far as I can tell.
For cross browser you could set a base font-size, say 10px and then use EM's for the text-shadows. Would be like 0.01em for 0.1px for example. That would work cross - unless I'm mistaken.
Andddddd yes it works, just tried it with the above Codepen link from @TheDoc
Codepen results here http://codepen.io/andyunleashed/pen/vHGmC
However, not working in Chrome makes me think it's not worth doing. Sigh.

SE UPP!!! Jag bokade ett standardrum och när jag skulle checka in hade jag bokats in i sovsal. Efter 2 timmars argumenterande kontaktade hotellets chef hotels dot com och de korrigerade misstaget. Jag fick till slut ett standardrum som var i yppersta kvalitet. Mycket fräscht och rent.Verifierad gästrecension
"Ok Value for money"
The hotel had a nice location. Only a block away from the beach. You had easy access to buses going to miamibeach/downtown. Only thing i didnt like was the breakfast. We choosed this place before another cause breakfast was included. Easier that way when you travel with a 2 year old kid.They only offered muffins, croissants, fruitmix, coffee and juice. […] Perfect for a backpacker i guess but not for us. Other than that I can recommend it. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension

Rummet ar över förväntan. eftersom det är ett hostell så tycker jag att rummet överträffade mina förväntningar. Frukosten som ingick bestod av mini muffisar jucie, kaffe, te, fruktcoctail och 2 av 3 morgon crossanter. kändes lite tunnt.

"Nice, clean hostel in good location."
No kitchen, no restaurant, small breakfast and really bad breakfast service - runs out of everything 30 min before closing! Rooms are fresh and good cleaning service. Beautiful garden/patio w pool and bar, great to hang out and get to know people. Good location, 15 min walk to South Beach shopping areas and beach. Wi-fi connection worked very well.

Very clean hostel with great, friendly staff who organize events from bbqs to yoga on the beach everyday. Very safe , lockers are big enough to take entire hiking rucksacks, and right on the beach !

"New favorite"
I live in Miami, but like to rent rooms on the beach when I'm in need of a 'staycation.' The Freehand is my new favorite. It has a great vibe. It's near the beach. It's a short walk away from bars and clubs. It has a well known bar, The Broken Shaker, in the back with lots of tables and cute foliage. If you're looking for a good price, ambiance, and […] cleanliness then this is your spot. I'm telling you, you won't find this quality for this price elsewhere on Miami Beach.

The hostel was surprisingly very nice and even luxury with very nice pool and bar. At night turns to be great party there. Everything is enough clean. It is more oriented for the young people and fun. At night could be noisy because of the bar. It is on nice location, just next to the beach with supermarket close and the bus stop to airport and to the […] downtown. All important parts of the Miami Beach are on walking distance from there.

"freehand hostel"
I had stayed in another hostel, further south, in miami beach, and heard about freehand from a guest there and decided to check it out my last day and a half there. first off, the staff were quite rude and disrespectful toward me as I was checking in, and much of the time I stayed. I stayed in an eight bed mixed dorm room with two full bathrooms, both […] poorly cleaned, and one having a very stopped up shower. the area of the beach is nice, but there isn't much else close by. you have to go far for groceries, laundry, nightlife, etc.. and to make matters worse the staff aren't very helpful when you need help finding something. stay somewhere else.

"Very nice for a hostel"
Overall the place was nice, the guests were all very cool, the breakfast was good. I stayed 3 nights as I was in town for work and not partying I did have a few issues: The reception didn't inform me that the patio below my window was rented out for a party - would have been fine but they didn't stop music and yelling until 4:30am and I had to work […] the next day. The reception wasn't to sensitive to the matter - "there's nothing we can do about it" was the response. I had been in a 4 female share for 2 nights, when I changed rooms for the last night (do to full bookings) to the street side ( quieter away from the bar) by the time I got in it was too late when I realized they put me in a 4 share male - surprise.

"The Hostel to rival hotels"
Excellent place to stay for a weekend trip. Relaxed, fun atmosphere. Convenient location, near bus stops and close to South beach but not all up in the crazy mix, quiet neighborhood. Clean rooms, comfortable mattress, great accommodations (towels, regular cleaning, bikes for rent, continental breakfast, bag storage). Helpful and friendly staff. Excellent […] value. Better than the value hotels I was considering. My only concern is this place will blow up in popularity and I won't be able to book there in the future. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension
I loved my stay! There were a lot of fellow young people. So it was social. They had the opportunity to go to the pool, play bocci ball and play ping pong. I made international friends while there!Verifierad gästrecension

"Awesome Experience"
Just what I expected. A very eclectic group of people stay at Hostels, and I was not disappointed. I could have stayed in another hotel and had a room all to myself, but I would not have met people form all over the world. This is one hotel stay I will remember.Verifierad gästrecension
"Fun in Miami?"
This place was awesome. Very friendly staff, about a 15 minute walk down the beach to Southbeach and the best bar I found around is the one right downstaris from your room. It is a Hostel so expect to share a room with strangers unless you bring a group of 5 or more. Nice pool area as well. If you would rather spend that 200 bucks a day on having fun […] and not on a big room that you will spend 6hours in a night... Freehand is the place for you! Läs merVerifierad gästrecension
"Best Bang for your buck!"
The Freehand Miami Hostel is a fantastic place to stay. In the immediate vicinity, you're close to a convenience store, a few tasty restaurants, and most of all the beach. The beds are surprisingly comfortable and they have room cleaning service whom will clean up, sweep and restock your toiletries. The staff at the front desk are great and always helpful […] when you have any issues or questions. The hotel offers a pool, ping pong tables, plenty of lounging room and a Bar. In addition, they offer coffee,OJ and delicious muffins in the morning, as well food services on certain days. The hotel is conveniently located within a few minutes walk to the beach, but may require a taxi if you're planning to frequent the Night clubs or any major outlet mall. All in all, It's a great place to stay, air conditioned and you get to meet plenty of people from different places. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension
"Fun Place"
The place is a wonderful art deco style that is fun. The only problem I have is that the bathroom was so small. They do have lockers, but you had to either buy a lock or bring your lock. Bring flip flops for the bathroom also.Verifierad gästrecension

"best value for money in town"
The place is brand new and for USD 13/night you are in south beach 2 blocks from the beach, 10 minutes from the W hotel/Setai etc. Fast wifi, a really well executed pool/lounge area with a very bar, fast wifi, free breakfast, bike rentals, free beach towels. This really is a steal! Have not seen the private rooms but no reason to believe they are of […] a lesser quality. They will get bussy! ps. Bus 150 gets you from the airport to the hotel for USD 2.50. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension
"Walking Distance to Ocean Drive"
The hotel (hostal) is not cater to families. We did not know that until we got there. It was full of young european crowds coming to America back packing. Nothing wrong with that, it was kind of cool for a young and "cool" parents like us, lol. But if you dislike a crowded little lobby, you won't like it. It is like a trendy place at night and the pool […] area was crowded with party animals until 3:00 am. My family was so tired that we slep throug the noise. But honestly it was a little anoying. The music & party sounded like it was inside our room. The room is a quadruple room, meaning 2 bunkbeds. My kids loved it!! But for me and my wife was a little awkward. Anyways, for the price and one night rest it was great. Close to everything, and very clean. My wife is sick & phsyco with cleaningless, and this place passed the proof.

"Nicest hostel I've ever stayed in"
The Freehand is a relatively new hostel with a gorgeous outdoor pool, a courtyard restaurant and bar, and very reasonable rates for 4-bunk and 8-bunk rooms. I was there the week before Christmas and only had one other person in my room the entire time. Each room has a bathroom with shower in it and lockers (bring your own lock or buy one at the desk). […] It's a bit of a walk (3/4-1 mile) to the south beach stuff but I didn't mind it and if you stay in hostels you probably wont either (it's a safe walk even at night).

"great low budget for friends, family, solo travel."
My first in a setting where i had to share the room with other people. I had to upgrade from an 8-dorm to a quad for more privacy and only had 3 other guys in the room. On last day a girl moved in and i found out the room was a mixed. Even tho the difference i found price on Expedia was only $3 i ended up paying $28 for the upgrade but didn't mind. […] The other guys were nice and we immediately be are friends, went out to clubs and made plans for the remainder of our stay. Nice area at the pool, many visitors were coming as the place seems to be one of the coolest in Miami. I also appreciate the complimentary breakfast and the lockers in the rooms even tho the lock was an extra $5. Overall i liked the place and will stay there again. Very accessible to many buses and the beach is only a few yards away from the hotel. This place is a nice low budget perfect for students, friends, families or solo travelers looking for a nice spot to crush in Miami. Lowest fare in town. I liked it.

"Great experience and will return"
Loved the experience, first time in a Hostel, rooms were cleaned, bedding was new, sheets were white and crisp, bathroom was clean and had toiletries provided by Hostel. Don't forget your washcloths as I only found that I was provided a bath towel. Lockers provided in the room plenty of space to hold valuables but not a suitcase, don't forget your lock. […] Each room as a card key and is only provided to those that are staying in the room. Breakfast was a little scare, so if your hungry get downstairs early as breakfast is 8-10 and it was gone when I arrived. The Hostel is very loud at night, it is very difficult to sleep with the windows open you hear the people outside, inside the Hostel sounds like a party going on all the time, so bring earplugs or join the party. In the rear of the property is a private pool, ping pong tables, seating area surrounded by trees and tropical plantings as well as a bar. Very comfortable and perfect for lounging. The inside lobby area provides a Bohemia themed room with candles burning and pillows everywhere with furnishings from cost plus, pier one import look. Overall will definitely return and had a great stay. Läs merVerifierad gästrecension

Based on "sophisticated scientific analysis of seafloor video made available Wednesday," Steve Wereley, an associate professor at Purdue University, told NPR the actual spill rate of the BP oil disaster is about 3 million gallons a day — 15 times the official guess of BP and the federal government. Another scientific expert, Eugene Chiang, a professor of astrophysics at the University of California, Berkeley, calculated the rate of flow to be between 840,000 and four million gallons a day. These estimates mean that the Deepwater Horizon wreckage could have spilled about five times as much oil as the 12-million-gallon Exxon Valdez disaster, with relief only guaranteed by BP in three more months. Watch video of oil flooding out of one of the two remaining leaks, which BP had suppressed for weeks:
On Tuesday, BP America president Lamar McKay testified under oath before the Senate that "you can't measure what's coming out at the seabed."
In an email to ThinkProgress, Dr. Wereley clarifies: "My analysis is based strictly on what is seen in the video, so only one pipe and only for that brief period of time. I'm making no claims about what happened earlier or what may happen in the future."

Apple releases Safari 4 as "world's fastest browser"
"The successful beta release helped us fine tune Safari 4 into an even better, faster version that customers are going to love," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "Safari is enjoyed by 70 million users worldwide and with its blazing fast speed, innovative features and support for modern web standards, it's the best browser on any platform."
Starting with the development of the open source WebKit browser engine, Apple has been an industry leader in defining and implementing innovative web standards. Safari 4 includes HTML 5 support for offline technologies and support for advanced CSS Effects, enabling an entirely new class of web applications that feature rich media, graphics and fonts.
Other new features in Safari 4 include:
-- Top Sites, offering a visual preview of frequently visited and favorite pages
-- Full History Search, to search through titles, web addresses and the complete text of recently viewed pages
-- Cover Flow, to easily flip through web history or bookmarks.
-- Smart Address Fields for automatically completing web addresses from an easy to read list of suggestions
-- Search Fields, to fine tune searches with recommendations from Google Suggest or a list of recent searches
-- Full Page Zoom, for a closer look at any website without degrading the quality of the site's layout and text.
In Mac OS X Snow Leopard, available later this year, Safari runs as a 64-bit application, boosting the performance of the Nitro JavaScript engine by up to 50 percent. Apple says Snow Leopard makes Safari more resistant to crashes by running plug-ins in a separate process, so even if a plug-in crashes, Safari continues to run and the user simply has to reload the affected page.
Pricing & Availability
Safari 4 is available for both Mac OS X and Windows as a free download.
Safari 4 for Mac OS X requires Mac OS X Leopard v10.5.7 or Mac OS X Tiger v10.4.11 and Security Update 2009-002, a minimum 256MB of memory and is designed to run on any Intel-based Mac or a Mac with a PowerPC G5, G4 or G3 processor and built-in FireWire. Safari 4 for Windows requires Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista, a minimum 256MB of memory and a system with at least a 500 MHz Intel Pentium processor.

Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Andy Dalton threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns while running for another score, leading fourth-ranked TCU to a 48-6 rout of UNLV at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Dalton completed 16-of-23 passes, including five to Jeremy Kerley for 82 yards and a score. Colin Jones had a 30-yard interception return for TCU (9-0, 5-0 MWC), which extended its regular-season winning streak to 22 games.
The Horned Frogs, also ranked fourth in the BCS standings, will put that streak on the line next Saturday at Utah in a big conference matchup. The No. 8 Utes also remained undefeated this week with a 28-23 victory over Air Force.
"I don't think we played that well. We did what we needed to do on both sides of the ball," said TCU head coach Gary Patterson. "We understand what we have ahead of us. I thought UNLV was very physical in this ball game coming off a week of rest. They knocked us around a little bit. It's one of those things where you've got to go and find a way to win and we've got three more weeks to do that and it will start in Salt Lake City."
Omar Clayton threw for 128 yards and a TD, with two interceptions, for UNLV (1-7, 1-3), which has lost its last four.
"We would have had to have the ball bounce our way flawlessly to be able to pull it off and that obviously didn't happen," said UNLV head coach Bobby Hauck. "We have a long way to go, we know that, but there are some signs that show we have a good football program. But it's going to take some work and some time, and we're working from the ground up."
TCU scored on its opening possession, driving 64 yards in 10 plays while facing just one third down. That came on a 3rd-and-1 from the Rebels' five, and Kerley converted it by getting into the end zone.
Jason Teague intercepted Clayton late in the opening quarter, giving the Horned Frogs the ball at their own 40. TCU advanced down the field and scored on the opening play of the second quarter, when Wesley took it in from a yard away.
Jones' return on the second play of UNLV's ensuing drive made it a 21-0 contest, though the Rebels countered with their lone score. Clayton's 10-yard strike to Michael Johnson capped a nine-play, 75-yard march with nine minutes remaining in the half, thought the kick failed.
TCU reached the UNLV one-yard line on its next possession before Matthew Tucker fumbled the ball away. But after the Rebels turned it over on downs, the Horned Frogs took over at their 47 and soon got back in the end zone.
The drive lasted about 2 1/2 minutes, and ended on Dalton's one-yard plunge. TCU took the 28-6 lead into the break, then scored on the opening drive of the third when Dalton fired a 54-yard pass to Josh Boyce in the first minute.
TCU's defense kept the Rebels on their own side of the field for almost all of the second half, while two Horned Frogs touchdowns sealed the outcome. Dalton completed a 24-yard TD pass to Kerley on the opening play of the fourth, and Casey Pachall had an eight-yard run with 4:10 on the clock.

Climate Educator Guide, Activity 2: The Carbon Cycle
Total Time
Earth has a fixed number of carbon atoms, which circulate among air, plants, animals, soil, and minerals by way of the carbon cycle. This activity uses a game to introduce students to the carbon cycle, and will help them see how carbon in the atmosphere is connected to living things.
- Students will describe the carbon cycle and the journey a carbon atom might take on its way through this cycle.
- Students will describe how trees help to store carbon.
Carbon is the fourth most abundant element on Earth and is essential for life. It is the basis for carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids, which living things need to live, grow, and reproduce. It is also found in carbon dioxide (CO2), limestone, wood, plastic, diamonds, and graphite.
The total amount of carbon on the Earth is always the same. Through the carbon cycle, carbon atoms are continuously exchanged between living things and the environment, and are reused over and over again.
The basic carbon cycle of living systems (shown above) involves the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. Through photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to make carbohydrates (sugars) with energy from the sun. As part of the cycle, animals eat plants (or other animals), taking in the carbohydrates for food. Then, through respiration, both plants and animals break down carbohydrates, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This process can be described through the following formulas:
(carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen)
(glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water)
Not all carbon atoms are constantly moving in the carbon cycle. As can be seen on "The Carbon Cycle" student page, carbon may become stored in trees, in wood products, in fossil fuels, or other carbon stores or "sinks." Eventually, when the tree dies or if the products or fuels are burned, the carbon atoms will be released. They will then become an active part of the carbon cycle again.
Forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle. They absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, and store the carbon in their trunks, branches, and roots. Both the trees and wood products can continue to store this carbon as long as they remain intact.
- Three or four different objects made of carbon (such as a leaf, a stick, a bone, a piece of charcoal, a corn kernel or other food item, or something made from cotton or wool)
- Copy of the "Forest Carbon Cycle Stations" [PDF] student page
- Three pairs of dice (optional)
- Student notebooks
Time Considerations
Preparation: 30 minutes
Activity: One or two 50-minute periods
Getting Ready
- Make one copy of the "Forest Carbon Cycle Stations" [PDF] student page, either by hand or using a copier. Cut apart along the lines.
- On the board or using paper and pen, make a large label for each of the six stations: Air (Atmosphere), Tree, Firewood, Wood Product, Fallen Log, and Animal.
- Draw a basic carbon cycle (see introduction) on the board.
- (Optional) Make an enlarged drawing of the Carbon Cycle Poster [PDF] either on the board or on a piece of cardboard.
Doing the Activity
Show students the objects you have brought in and ask what they all have in common. If students do not think of it, point out that all of the items are mostly made of carbon. Discuss carbon and why it is important. Ask, for example:
- What is carbon? (Carbon is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, and is necessary for life.)
- Why do we need carbon? (Like all living things, we need carbon for the basic processes of life, including growth and reproduction.)
- How do living things get carbon? (There are two ways organisms can get the carbon they need. They either get it from the air—as plants do—or they get it by eating other living things. All of our food has carbon.)
- Besides food, how else do people use carbon? (We use carbon-based products like wood, cotton, and wool, as well as plastics and other things made from petroleum. Fuels like gasoline and kerosene are also carbon-based.)
- If every living thing needs carbon, why isn't it all used up? (Carbon gets reused over and over again in a process called the carbon cycle.)
- Show students the basic carbon cycle you drew on the board. Explain how carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air becomes part of plants through photosynthesis, a process that turns the CO2 into food (carbohydrates). When animals eat plants or other animals, they ingest the carbon. Through respiration, carbon returns to the air as CO2.
- Point out that in an ecosystem, like a forest, the process is more complex than this simple drawing. Show students "The Carbon Cycle" student page (or your drawing of it on the board), which describes the carbon cycle in a forest. Talk through the different parts of this cycle.
- Point out that the carbon cycle is a simplified model for looking at the "journey" of a carbon atom. Explain that students will play a game to learn more about the forest carbon cycle. In this game, they will each be a carbon atom.
- Divide the class among the different stations to begin. Place one die (if using) at each station.
Have each student roll the die or choose a number between 1 and 6, and then read the statement at their station corresponding to that number. They should write in their notebooks the current station, what happens to them based on their number, and where they will go next.
Sample Notebook Entry:Station What Happens? Where to Next? Tree The tree is hit by a storm, falls over, and dies. Dead Matter …. Etc. - When you call out "cycle," students should go to the next station as directed on the card. If the directions have them stay at the same station, the student should either roll the die again or choose again a number between 1 and 6.
- Repeat steps 6 and 7 about ten more times or until most students have cycled through Tree Station at least once.
- Ask students to write a brief story from a carbon atom's point of view that describes the journey they just took through the carbon cycle. For example, a student might start a story, "I was a carbon atom in a tall tree. One day a fierce storm came, and knocked the tree over. It lay for a long time on the forest floor. As it decayed, I was released into the atmosphere…."
Discuss the following:
- At which station did you spend the most time? At which station did you spend the least time?
- While each of your journeys was different, was there anything similar about them?
- At which stations can carbon be stored? At which stations is carbon released into the atmosphere?
- What are the different paths carbon might take after becoming a tree? Which paths release carbon quickly into the atmosphere, and which store carbon for a long period of time?
- How does the carbon cycle help us understand the relation between forests and global climate change?
Look at "The Carbon Cycle" [PDF] student page and consider if there are any parts of the carbon cycle not included in the game. How might you add them?
