Due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, the Commitment of Traders report of positioning in the currency futures market has been delayed. We will review that separately when the data is available next week. Here we present an overview of our near-term technical outlook.Last week,we recognized that the US dollar was overstretched and anticipated some consolidation/correction. Yet the pace and magnitude of the move was surprising, especially in light of the series of disappointing developments in Europe, which include the initial failure to resolve Greece's funding problems and the EU's next 7-year budget. Nor was the economic data inspiring, as the main report of the week, the Nov flash PMI reading, suggests the euro area economy continues to contract here in Q4. In contrast, the US reported stronger than expect existing home sales and housing starts, as the painfully slow recovery in the housing market continues. Weekly initial jobless claims slipped back as the impact of the east coast storm fades. The newly introduced Markit PMI reading was above consensus forecasts. The University of Michigan's final consumer confidence measure for November was a bit softer than the preliminary report, but still is at 4 1/2 year highs.Admittedly, the key issue in the US is not how the economy is performing now, but the looming fiscal cliff. The noises and signals emerging from Washington seemed to be a source of some confidence that the worst of it will be averted, though we continue to suspect that brinkmanship tactics will make for only a last minute deal (if not a slightly later one) Yet the optimism was frequently cited for the S&P gains last week. Recall that the S&P 500 rallied about 16.5% from early June through mid-September. We turned cautious here (Sept 22), anticipating a decline to at least 1400. The S&P overshot this, but staged a reversal on Nov 16 and saw impressive follow through last week. In fact, the S&P's 4.1% advance last week, was the best since June and all the main industry groups, save utilities, participated. With the pre-weekend advance, the S&P 500 has retraced 50% of its two month slide. The next retracement level is near 1424 and the month's high comes in near 1434. These are the main two technical barriers ahead of a return to the year's high near 1475. We note that the 5-day moving average of the S&P 500 is poised to cross above the 20-day average early next week. In addition, what could be a head and shoulders bottom projects toward 1435. The correlations between the foreign currencies and the S&P 500 has declined over the past few months, but has begun to increase again recently. Some observers emphasized that even though the European finance ministers initially failed to reach an agreement on Greek funding, a resolution remains imminent and that this lifted the euro. Since the market did not punish the euro on disappointment, we suspect it is not really rewarding the euro because of a soon-to-be-announced agreement. Moreover, baring a dramatic reduction in Greece's debt, which given the ownership structure, will require at some point at least partial forgiveness by officials, the Greek situation will have to be revisited. We do not see the price action in the foreign exchange market as being fundamentally driven, though post hoc narratives can always be written. Instead, we suggest that the dramatic sell-off in the yen, spurred by anticipation that the next Japanese government will take aggressive measures that will debase the currency. The yen's move forced cross rate adjustments and this took on a life of its own. Many short-term market participants had been leaning in the wrong direction. The market had been technically poised to set the dollar back, as we suggested last week the dollar bulls had over-reached, as speculators in the futures market (a proxy, we think, for trend followers and momentum traders) were adding on to short foreign currency positions or cutting longs. If this is correct, the performance of the yen may hold the key to the general dollar performance in the days ahead. As we note below, we see no technical sign that the yen has bottomed and this implies additional near-term dollar weakness is likely. Good selling of the yen, against the dollar and crosses, is still seen on the modest upticks. The weak yen theme may also renew interest in using the yen as a funding currency, ironically shortly after some observers sounded the death knell of the carry trade.Euro: After spending most of the month below the technically important $1.28 area, the euro jumped back above last week. A rounded bottom has been carved out and the $1.2840 area should now offer support. On the upside, the next test of the bulls' resolve will be in the $1.3000-30 area. The potential downtrend drawn off the mid-Sept and mid-Oct highs comes in near $1.31 by the end of the month. Technical indicators, like RSI and MACDs, are constructive and the 5-day moving average crossed above the 20-day average at the end of last week, suggesting short-term models and momentum traders are getting positive signals. Constructive technical outlook.Yen: Japan's macro-economic conditions, like the contracting economy, large, even if not heavy, debt burden, and deteriorating external accounts, offer textbook fundamental reasons not to like the yen. However, it took the threat of significant currency debasement by the man expected to become the next prime minister to spur the yen's slide. The adjustment does not appear over, even if the recent pace, a 3.6% slide since November 13 is not sustained. Dollar support is seen near JPY81.60-80. On the upside, there has been reports of good demand for JPY83 and JPY84 strikes. This year's high, thus far, was set in March near JPY84.18. Last year's high was recorded in April near JPY85.50. Demand for euros against the yen may have helped begun the euro rally. The euro is poised to move toward the JPY111 area. Negative technical outlook for the yen.Sterling: While it has lagged behind the euro, sterling has also gained against the greenback. However, unlike the euro, sterling closed only once below the 200-day moving average, where the euro spent most of the month below it. Sterling's 5-day moving average has not crossed above the 20-day average, it likely will in the week ahead. Momentum and MACD indicators are constructive. The next technical hurdle is seen near $1.6050 and when it is overcome, it could spur another cent or so advance. Initial support is seen near $1.5960 and then $1.5920. Constructive technical outlook for sterling.Swiss franc: Dragged higher by the euro, the franc is poised to appreciate further against the dollar in the period ahead. The dollar has carved out a round top, confirmed by the push through CHF0.9400. It is testing the CHF0.9280 area now on its way to CHF0.9200. However, significant support for the dollar is not seen until closer to CHF0.9200. The dollar's 5-day moving average crossed below the 20-day on Thursday last week, a day before the euro's averages crossed. Technical indicators suggest plenty of scope for additional near-term dollar losses. Constructive technical outlook for the franc.Canadian dollar: The Canadian dollar was the second worst performer against the dollar over the past week, next to the yen. It gained almost 1% against the greenback, but it is poised to extend those gains next week. Trend line support drawn off the Sept 14 low (~CAD0.9635) and the Oct 18 low (~CAD0.9765) comes in just above CAD0.9900 at the start of the new week. A band of support extends to CAD0.9875. There is potential toward CAD0.9800. Note, however, that typically when the US dollar is offered, the Canadian dollar lags on the crosses (except against the yen). Corrective bounces in the US dollar may be capped by resistance in front of CAD1.0000. Constructive technical outlook for the Canadian dollar, but may continue to lag behind the European currencies.Australian dollar: With news that the Chinese economy showing signs of bottoming and many investors looking past the likely early December RBA rat cut, that the Australian dollar advance is not surprising. What is surprising is that it was among the weaker performers. Technical tools are neutral to positive. The next are of resistance is seen in the $1.0480-$1.0500 band. However, the critical cap is not seen until closer to $1.0600-$1.0625, the highs from August and September. Support is seen near $1.0380-$1.0400. Constructive technical outlook for the Australian dollar, but look for it to continue to lag.Mexican peso: The dollar's recovery against the peso since early October is over, with a convincing violation of the uptrend line. New offers are likely to help cap dollar bounces in MXN13.05-08 area. On the downside the immediate target is MXN12.90 and then MXN12.77-MXN12.80. Long peso, short yen positions posses both carry and momentum features. Constructive technical outlook for the peso and an attractive yield pick-up.

These cupcakes are potent! Hard to believe they contain so little rum. I think it's because the rum is stored in the raisins thus juicy little pockets explode on your tongue. At first the rum isn't that obvious but it builds throughout the eating...especially if you eat two (or so I've heard).
3 tablespoons dark rum – I used Capt Morgan spiced rum
150g unsalted butter, at room temperature
150g caster sugar or light brown sugar – I used 75g of each
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs, at room temperature
150g self raising flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

I am an over 50 just getting into kiteboarding. I have just purchased a 10 M beast and am looking for advice re boards for the Delta. I am 5'7" 165 pounds. I've taken about 10 hours of lessons and while able to walk and chew gum at the same time, it is going to be a very long time before I am doing any tricks. In other words I am looking for a very basic very forgiving board if such a thing exists.
Also if there is any other beginners kiting in the delta particularly mid week pls give me a shout.
thanks Shawn

But for some reason, its EBC on this model.
My negative battery lead is ground in my real circuit and it works, but if i switch positive for negative, it doesnt work.In other words, only conventional flow works with this circuit.
Hi,I have built the very simple circuit on my breadboard but am getting weird result.The 5 volt supply is from the arduino digital output pin 13 and flashes on and off every second like in the blink led tutorial.The other is a 9v battery.The transistor is a BC338.Anyway, what happen is, the led stays on even without the arduino plugged in. I measured the voltage across the 10k resistor and it says 3.3volts. It alterates between 3.3v and 6.3v when i plug in arduino.So confused.I though no current would flow if arduino wasnt plugged in but somehow current flows from the 9v battery throught the base, to the arduino and also makes it out of the emitter to ground completing the circuit.Why is this happening?I tried another transistor, this time the BC547 and the same thing happen.When i run this circuit on my simulator, it works when i manually flick the switch on and off.Whats going on?Thanks for any help

Santa Clara County staff is officially taking a role in the search for a replacement facility for cold weather shelter services in the North County.
Supervisors Joe Simitian and Dave Cortese raised the issue at the April 15 county board of supervisors meeting, in light of the recent closure of the Sunnyvale cold weather shelter site. All five supervisors voted in favor of the decision.
The cold weather shelter once located at the National Guard Armory on Maude Avenue in Sunnyvale closed its doors permanently March 31. The site will be the new home of two separate affordable-housing projects proposed by MidPen Housing and Charities Housing.
The operators of the cold weather shelter, HomeFirst–formerly known as EHC LifeBuilders–reported the program provided 275 emergency shelter beds nightly over the winter months in 2014. There were 50 at HomeFirst's Boccardo Reception Center in San Jose, 125 at the former National Guard Armory in Sunnyvale and 100 at the National Guard Armory in Gilroy.
"We relied on this shelter for emergency cold weather shelter for decades now, and it seemed very clear to me that when it closed we're still going to need this kind of shelter," Simitian said of the Sunnyvale site. "Even though we are trying to make progress on a larger basis, I was able to make the case with my colleagues, who were very supportive."
Simitian praised the county's "housing first" approach to end homelessness by seeking permanent housing for homeless individuals, but he added it should not be the only approach.
"On the one hand, we have taken a larger, longer view of the ongoing problem of homelessness with our housing first approach," Simitian said during the April 15 meeting. "But until and unless we can really solve the problem of homelessness, we're going to have folks every night who need some place to put their heads down, and right now I think that number is something like 7,000 people per night are out there homeless. So that loss of 136 spaces in the North County is no small event."
It has not yet been determined whether a facility would be purchased outright or leased by the county, or if a facility may be gifted to the county to be used as a shelter for four months out of the year, but Simitian said county staff will return to the board of supervisors with preliminary findings at its April 29 meeting.
Sunnyvale Vice Mayor Jim Davis, who formed his own group of stakeholders called the North County Cold Weather Shelter Task Force, said he is pleased with the county supervisors' decision and that the task force will continue pursuing a possible site on Commercial Street in Sunnyvale.
"The progress on this is going so much faster and better than I had anticipated, so I am really happy," Davis said. "We're going to work in conjunction with Supervisors Simitian and Cortese, who have dedicated at least one staff member to our task force on an ongoing basis."
The next meeting for the task force will be April 30 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Sunnyvale Community Center, 550 E Remington Drive.
For more information about the task force, contact Jim Davis at 408.992.1863 or email@example.com.

BY A submissives journey
Nipple play or nipple torture as it is also called, with the acronym, NT, or even, Tit Torture, is intriguing and exciting for just about anyone, in one form or another! Many women and men alike, enjoy the stimulation of their breast area during sexual contact or during BDSM play activities. Each person prefers different types of stimulation of their nipples/breast area, obviously. Some like pain, others like gentle licking and others like non-painful, varying pressure. Some like only the nipple being worked on, others like the entire area around the nipple being played with, and others like manipulation of the entire chest or breasts being cupped and fondled. There are some who like to be licked, bitten, chewed, sucked, nursed (a combination of extended sucking and chewing), massaged, pulled, twisted, clamped, slapped, whipped, poked, punched, pierced or, of course, any combination of these done within an infinite variety of intensities. The best approach is trying out various techniques, toys and sensations and go from there… Always start out with a warm-up period, first. Start lightly, then gradually, with fingers, tongue, and teeth. Then add more intensity with clamps or suction or wax.
Quite simply, nipple clamps are items that pinch the nipples. Some have adjustable settings so the pressure can be customized or varied. Others work only by a single spring mechanism and do not allow for pressure adjustment. Nipple clamps can also be used on other areas of the body, such as the labia lips, ball sack, ear lobes… well you get the idea… It's a good idea to test the clamps on the skin of the inner wrist or the webbing between the thumb and forefinger, to get an accurate "reading" of the level of intensity. If it's bearable and tolerable within that threshold of pain/pleasure, they should be fine for the nipples or labia or balls!
One of the best clamps is the "Japanese" clover clamps. Clover clamps are intricately curved spring mechanisms, which closes when released from being squeezed open. The tips which make the direct contact on the nipple have rubber coverings. The pressure they yield is quite intense and cannot be adjusted. They do, however, tend to close and clamp even tighter when the chain attached to the clamps is pulled. Many find them extremely exciting for exactly those reasons! They have a very attractive look , which makes them even more popular, hence their nickname, "Japanese Nipple Clamps", since they are used quite frequently in Japanese bondage films. They also work overtime as labia or ball sack clamps!
Another popular style of nipple clamp is the Tweezers Clamps, which comprises of matchstick-thin tweezers with small rubber coverings on the tips and a sliding ring allowing adjustment of the tightness. They work very well for many nipple sizes and types, as well as the labia and balls. The chains that attach to this style of nipple clamps (and the Clover Clamps above) have a variety of uses. They can be pulled, weights can be hung from them, or they can be used to lead the "patient" around or tie them off!
If your fingers need an especially good grip on the nipples because you'll be pulling and twisting exceptionally hard, clean the nipples with rubbing alcohol, which removes any oily substances that might make your fingers slip. Or just grasp the nipple with a cloth or tissue rather than with your bare fingers.
Rubber tipped forceps, tight squeezing tweezers and other medical devices which squeeze or clamp are great nipple play toys, too. Just let your imagination run wild…
When clamping, seat the clamp on the tit before pulling on it. Allowing it to squeeze into the tit helps it to get a firm grip. Place the clamp toward the back of the tit, away from the tip. A clamp on the tip can easily slide off when it is pulled.
Nipple clamps, like other tight binding, reduce circulation. The rule of thumb is no more than ten or fifteen minutes of use at a time. Coldness, numbness, and discoloration are signals that it is time to release the clamp. Releasing the clamp often brings more pain than placing the clamp on in the first place because of the sudden inflow of circulation to the blood vessels. If you want to reduce the sudden pain, you can press your warm palm or squeeze the tips of your fingers on the clamped area as you release the clamps. The pressure slows the blood return, which eases the sudden fierceness of the pain. Of course, sudden pain may be the goal, but it is always nice to have options.
Nipple Suction
Another great way to do nipple play is with suction… and cupping sets work just perfectly! The
plastic cups in the sets with a vacuum pump device are very handy and easy to use. And many seeking a more dramatic flair to their BDSM play, will use the Fire Cups, which add a certain ritualistic effect to the scene, since it incorporates the use of fire to heat the air inside the globe, before covering the nipple and breast area with the cup!
Using suction on nipples pulls the blood to the surface very rapidly, thus making the nipple tissue sensitive and swollen. With repeated use, many have enlarged their nipples with this technique. Always be safe and sane… leave the suction on only for a few (10-15 minutes) minutes at a time. Light bruising may occur, which is normal. Remember, though the area where cups are applied need to be hair- free! Otherwise the hair leaves pockets of air space which breaks the seal for the vacuum!
And More Nipple Play….
Tying or placing small rubber bands around the base of the nipple to force its protrusion, is another form of BDSM tit torture! One method for doing this, is to first use the suction on the nipple to make it erect, then tie and thin string around the base of the nipple. This will keep it erect and is very stimulating to the "patient" as the nipple is so sensitive at this point. Another method is to use a device called the Elastrator (used on animals…), which stretches a small, thick rubber band wide open and allows it to be put on the base of the nipple, then releases, and the rubber band is left in place. This is a technique many use for "training" the nipple to stay firm and erect or protruding.
Another sensual nipple play scene is hot wax. Candles without perfumes are the best. Again, test the "heat" of the melted wax before applying any to sensitive nipple areas! If it is so hot that it is burning the skin on the back of the hand, just think how hot that will be on the soft tissue of a nipple or breast! If the melted wax is a very hot type of wax (there are different variations of wax, and thus the temperatures at which they melt also vary and the resulting melted wax may hold the higher temperature longer) just hold candle higher over the area and it will cool a bit as it falls. Dripping is the best way… Try dripping an inch or so of wax over the tit, which makes a cast of the nipple when you peel it off. Use ice to harden the wax quickly which also adds another sensation! Some, who are more experienced with playing with hot wax, like to let votive candles build a small pool of wax and then pour it all at once, but this too can burn, so it is not recommended unless one is experienced with this sort of "waxing" method. Be safe… practice first!

Casa Colina is a non-profit, freestanding, community-governed organization.
With incredible support from our community, we have been privileged to
bring the benefits of rehabilitation to tens of thousands of people since
our first patient in 1938. In the decades that followed, we continued
to expand our care to include a state-of-the-art hospital that offers
acute rehabilitation and medical-surgical care, as well as a broad range
of outpatient services that includes specialized physician clinics, physical
therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, neuropsychology, diagnostic
imaging, children's services and even an outdoor recreation program
for people with disabilities. In the pages that follow, you'll discover
more about our
leadership, our
nearly 80-year legacy and the numerous ways we help people achieve optimum health, gain independence
and return to the highest level of function possible.
Above all else, we want to provide every individual the maximum opportunity
for rehabilitation after an unexpected injury or illness, or debilitating
disease. This is at the very core of everything we do here. Casa Colina
is a unique Center of Excellence that provides a culture of collaboration
where medical leaders and experienced physical rehabilitation experts
work together to help individuals steadily progress from one level of
achievement to the next. It's a complete continuum of care designed
for patients at any stage of rehabilitation - from acute rehabilitation
hospital care to post-acute residential and outpatient services that are
conveniently accessible throughout a state-of-the-art 20-acre Pomona campus
and satellite locations.
Where do patients turn for help when they need financial support to continue
their care at Casa Colina? Where does a parent turn for additional support
for his or her child's disability? The Casa Colina Foundation acts
as a safety net for people who may greatly benefit from Casa Colina's
programs and services, but lack the ability to pay for them.
The discoveries we make at Casa Colina are destined to not only help our
patients, but others throughout the world. Each year, the Casa Colina
Research Institute conducts clinical research studies to improve the clinical
care of people with disabilities, and discover new findings about disabilities.
POMONA, Calif. (December 22, 2010) - In its continued efforts to provide specialized services for adults
suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS), Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitation's
Multiple Sclerosis Center is inviting the community and educators to attend
a free seminar, "Living With Multiple Sclerosis," on Tuesday,
January 18, 2011 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The seminar will be held at Casa
Colina Centers for Rehabilitation's Tamkin Education Center, Building
1D, located at 255 East Bonita Avenue (at Garey) in Pomona.
According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, approximately 400,000
Americans have MS, and every week about 200 people are diagnosed. Worldwide,
MS affects about 2.5 million people. It is a chronic, unpredictable disease
of the central nervous system (the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord).
MS is thought to be an autoimmune disorder which means the immune system
incorrectly attacks the person's healthy tissue. It can cause blurred
vision, loss of balance, poor coordination, slurred speech, tremors, numbness,
extreme fatigue, problems with memory and concentration, paralysis, blindness and more.
The seminar will feature presenters from the Casa Colina Multiple Sclerosis
Center including: board-certified neurologist Richard Shubin, M.D., program
medical director; Gail Hartley, nurse practitioner and MS certified nurse;
and Kathy San Martino, physical therapist, neurological clinical specialist
and MS certified specialist who will present the latest information on
the following topics:
In addition, participants will receive educational materials provided by
the National MS Society as well as participate in a questions and answers
session with the featured presenters.
Casa Colina created the Multiple Sclerosis Center to fit the specific needs
of those with MS and it is the only facility of its kind in the area.
The neurologist-led team of MS experts takes a comprehensive approach
by examining all aspects of this disease that affect each individual -
focusing on the diagnoses, aftercare, education and support of the patient
and their family members. The Center's goals is to help improve the
patient's quality of life while stabilizing the disease by exploring
every possibility - from assistive devices to new medications, Botox treatments
and innovative therapies.

About Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitation
Casa Colina began in 1936 in Chino under the leadership of its founder
Frances Eleanor "Mother" Smith and neighboring physicians to
provide rehabilitative care to children recovering from polio. Polio was
at epidemic proportions and by the 1950s plans were developed to build
a new hospital in Pomona where children could be cared for by experienced
medical professionals. By 1960, when the new hospital was completed, the
new polio vaccine had wiped out the disease. Casa Colina refocused its
medical and physical rehabilitation services to concentrate on treating
people of all ages and disabilities. In the last decade, it has rebuilt
and renovated its entire 20-acre Pomona campus to include a state of the
art rehabilitation hospital, outpatient center, transitional living center,
children's center, adult day health care, imaging, surgery center
and other specialized services treating 10,000 people a year. For more

Korean GP: Qualifying press conference
23.10.2010 @ 23:17:31
1. Sebastian VETTEL (Red Bull), 1m35.585s
2. Mark WEBBER (Red Bull), 1m35.659s
3. Fernando ALONSO (Ferrari), 1m35.766s
Q: Sebastian, great pole. You only had a one lap run at the end but you edged it by seven one hundredths of a second
We like to read car news on
yet again this season. A special feeling I imagine.
Sebastian VETTEL: Yeah, it is. Again very close. Two runs in the end in Q3. The first one I was already happy with the car but couldn't really put the lap time in that I lost in the first sector, but in the second one I had a much better beginning to the lap. First sector is pretty straight, so there is not much you can do, just hit your braking points. Then the second and third sector here is quite entertaining with nice flowing corners but easy to do a mistake. I think in the last run I gave a little bit too much margin and lost in the middle sector. Obviously we have the possibility inside the car to check how fast we are actually going, so I saw that maybe it is not enough and I speeded up in the last sector again and fortunately, again as I said with very little margin, but enough for pole. I think it is a very good achievement from all of us, especially as yesterday wasn't smooth running at all. We tried something and it didn't work plus we had the puncture in the free practice on a new track which basically no-one knew before here. I had very little laps. This morning we tried to save the car a little and I only a few runnings, so I had to take whatever I could in qualifying out of these couple of laps but I was able to get into the rhythm more and more and was able to go with the track improvement and improve the lap times as well.
Q: We have got different cars that are faster in different parts of the circuit with you, the Ferraris and McLarens. What made the difference for you today, do you think?
SV: Well, I think the difference in the end as I said with so little running yesterday and this morning was basically just to get into the rhythm. Some corners here are quite tricky to understand how they work, especially turn nine, ten then 11, the long left-hander which is nicely cambered but then leads into an off-camber right hander, turn 12. There are a lot of things you have to understand, how much kerb, a little bit too much and you go into the dust which then affects the next corner, so it wasn't easy but I think, as usual, when it comes to corners we know that our car is very good. On the straight line we are doing our best. Out F-duct is improving and getting better, so that helps, but there is not much we can do, so we have to fight back even harder in the corners.
Q: Mark, you took a different tactic. A two lap run at the end. What did you lose and what did you gain?
Mark WEBBER: I wasn't that happy on the first timed laps. It was more comfortable and more stable I suppose for me to do two timed and it worked out okay. It was very, very close with Seb and I got second on the grid which is a lot better off than many other positions on the grid but it would have been nice to get pole. But in the end it is still a good position to start the race. We can still do very well from there and get a good result. Qualifying went to plan today, I would say. Pretty close, but not quite.
Q: You are starting from the dirty side of the grid and here it is likely to be very dirty as it is a brand new track which you have been cleaning up for the last few days. How big a concern is that with the attack that is possibly coming from Fernando at the start?
MW: Fernando will probably be pretty solid off the line but it is not make-or-break for the World Championship. We will just get through what we can and press on from there. I am certainly still in a good position.
Q: Fernando, you were fastest after the first runs in Q3. Where did it get away from you today?
Fernando ALONSO: I think it was a nice qualifying, nice smooth qualifying. Q1 we were a little bit quicker than we thought, so we found the pace straight away with the prime tyres. We put the soft on for Q2 and the car was again very, very quick, so in Q3 we knew that we had a little possibility, not too much as we know that when we arrive at the crucial moments in Q3 Red Bull is normally pushing a little bit more and being a little bit quicker than everybody. With not too high expectations we went into Q3. We have to give our maximum again once more, one race again. I think P3 again once more was our maximum potential today which in a way is very good news as normally qualifying is not our strongest point of the weekend and here it seems that we are quite close to the Red Bulls, so looking good for tomorrow.
Q: What is the plan for attacking the Red Bulls during the race?
FA: First of all we need to see the forecast. Still some doubts about the rain possibility, especially in the morning, so we need to be very calm, we need to finish the race. That is the first priority. We are five contenders at the moment and maybe tomorrow not all five finish the race, so we cannot be one of those that doesn't finish as we need to keep scoring points every race and I am sure if we do that we will be very happy tomorrow afternoon.
Q: Sebastian, pole and the win in Japan. Pole today. Is this your sprint finish to claim the championship?
SV: I wouldn't mind. You have to take every race as it comes. Japan was obviously nice but now we are in Korea. All the focus is on tomorrow's race but today I am very happy given the difficulties we had throughout practice on a new track, not able to get into the rhythm, I think it was a very good achievement from all of us. The car was quick no doubt but still you need to get it done. The most important was never to lose the focus, remain calm, which I think we all did and we knew that we had enough, so we went into qualifying confident. Our job is done today, so we will see tomorrow.
Q: Sebastian, that looked an absolutely amazing qualifying session. I don't know how it was from your point of view?
SV: Well, with so little running yesterday and this morning I think it was a pretty good achievement by all of us. Yesterday with the puncture we were unfortunate, so we had to start early on the option on a greener track than the others. It obviously wears the tyres more and we tried something that probably did not work as expected. Nevertheless, it is important to remain calm which we did all the time and even this morning with little laps trying to save the car. Coming into qualifying and straight away on a new track, which as I said I didn't do too many laps, it is important to get into the rhythm, to be there straight away, which was good. The car was very good throughout qualifying. We didn't really change much or play around, only little tweaks.
Q: What was the point about not doing laps this morning; what were you trying to save? Engine mileage?
SV: Just not putting too many laps on the engine if it wasn't necessary. Obviously it was difficult. Yesterday we didn't get the laps in, so we knew before coming here that on Saturday morning we would go a little bit shorter than the rest, but unfortunately it turned out we had less (running) on Friday as well, so that didn't go as planned, but we always knew it would be tighter on Saturday but I think we got through it pretty well and here we are. To finish off what I started just now: qualifying was obviously very entertaining. I was getting more and more comfortable with the track, the way some corners worked, and the car was picking up speed with the track rubbering in towards the end, so very pleased.
Q: So how confident were you going into qualifying?
SV: In the end, obviously, it always helps if you get a proper run in P3 or yesterday, which we didn't have at all this morning. Even for the two laps that I had I was stuck in traffic and it didn't come together. The sectors looked alright. For sure, you have no lap time that you can talk about or look at but still you look into yourself and you know that if everything works according to plan you should be alright. As I said earlier, we were always calm and there was no reason to panic. We were confident and then in the end you run in P3 or if you put some lap times in -- you're either at the top of the table or you're not.
Q: Mark, disappointed not to be on pole?
MW: Very happy to be second, what do you think?
Q: I mean the performance you have had so far this weekend had been really good.
MW: Yeah, look, we knew it was going to be a tight fight. It always is. Front row is still not too bad. We are ready to go for tomorrow. It was a good battle and just missed out by a sniff but ready to go for tomorrow.
Q: At one point it could be said that you didn't have to fight for wins and you could play the game. But surely the time has come that maybe you have got to fight for wins after all.
MW: I think the media make their own ideas of what I need to do. I have always said that I need to continue to win. I got through some rough events, Singapore, Monza, Suzuka maybe was not one of the best tracks for me, but anyway I did well at those tracks and here we are. He got pole but it is far from the end of the world but ready to go tomorrow.
Q: Are McLaren still a major fear, particularly that first sector?
MW: Of course, yes. They will be very quick on the straight, we know that but that was quite predictable probably in July that coming here it was going to be like that.
Q: Was the new engine planned for this race?
MW: I think so. It's no big deal. People make a big deal of it but it's just another engine that's in the car ready to go. I wasn't exactly flying in that first sector today, so... It doesn't make a huge difference , it's just another fresh unit and Renault have done a good job for us.
Q: Fernando, you said you were optimistic after yesterday but you seem to be philosophical to be in third today.
FA: I think we're in a very good position. First of all, I think Red Bull are normally very strong on Saturday; they've scored something like 95 percent of the year's pole positions, so no surprise to see them very quick on Saturday. For us, it's been a good day, very quick in Q1, straight away, very happy with the car balance. Then into Q2 with good confidence with the soft tyres which are working very well for us here, so I think now being third, just two tenths away from Red Bull, I think is a great achievement from our team on this track. I think we have a strong race in front of us now with what is normally our better part of the weekend which is the race pace.
Q: Yesterday people were saying that there are possibilities to overtake; do you think that's going to be the situation in the race?
FA: We have to see. Normally there are some circuits that on paper you see some good overtaking opportunities; then you get to the race and you see races with very difficult manoeuvres or no overtaking at all. And then, instead there are some circuits where on paper you see no real possibilities, like Suzuka in 2005, '06, those years or even the last race where Kobayashi overtook six or seven cars. We need to wait and see regarding tomorrow's race. On paper, as I said, it seems you have two or three opportunities for overtaking here but better to check tomorrow.
Q: And the track conditions today?
FA: They keep improving. I think every lap when you go out of the garage you already feel more grip. We were running 42s/43s yesterday in P1, then 39s or 38s in free practice two, 37s in free practice three and now 35s or something like that. I expect quite tricky conditions to start the race tomorrow but improving throughout the race and in the last couple of laps we will have very high grip.
Q: (Frederic Ferret -- L'Equipe) Mark, in Suzuka you said that you had to pass Seb at the first corner; afterwards, it was to try and overtake him. Is it the same here?
FA: Yes.
MW: Probably, yeah. But it's best not to arrive at corner three in first, so we will see what happens.
Q: (Heikki Kulta -- Turun Sanomat) Sebastian, which is your main rival tomorrow? Possible rain, Mark or Fernando?
SV: Myself. I think I have to focus on me only, like I had to this afternoon. I think Mark showed yesterday and this morning what the car was capable of, that we were competitive. As I said, I remained calm, I was never worried that I couldn't match that, so we will see. It's a long race. Fernando starts right behind me. First of all, we need to focus on the start, prepare that, and then off we go and then we've got some corners where I think a lot of things can happen but I'm confident. If you look at sector one, in the end we were not so disastrous -- probably better than expected and in terms of straight-line speed we know that we probably cannot match the Renault with this magnificent F-duct system they have and the McLarens but I think we are similar to Ferrari, so we will see. As you said, rain is possible, so we don't know what type of track we will start on. I have to focus on myself, I guess.
Q: (Michael Schmidt -- Auto, Motor und Sport) Mark, on your second outing you did two flying laps. Why did you go in that direction, because it meant you obviously carried some extra fuel in the first one?
MW: Yeah, I wasn't overly happy on the first lap on the options. I thought it was better for me to do two timed and it turned out to work not too badly. My second lap was my best, so it was close and still a very fast lap time but obviously just not quite enough to be the fastest.
Q: (RTI TV) Fernando, do you consider a two stop strategy possible because of the graining?
FA: We will see. We are really open to any strategy, normally, before the race, not only at this track but it was also a possibility at some other circuits. We will see tomorrow. I think if the track evolution is high enough that the grip comes to the tyre and you don't grain so much, then maybe it's one stop as usual. If the track is still not very grippy and you destroy the tyres, then there is that possibility (of two stops) but I think it will be very much a call at the last moment.
Q: (Matthias Brunner -- Speedweek) For all three of you, how happy or unhappy are you about the overnight track changes?
SV: Well, I think the real change... OK, turn 18, obviously the last corner where they have put a lump on the inside in order to prevent us from cutting too much -- I don't think that's changed anything. I was not looking forward to the change in turn 16, to be honest, yesterday. I didn't think that would be the right decision but I was proved wrong. I think we did the right thing. It makes it a bit trickier to hit the apex but in the end it's our job to still get the best out of it, and I think it's safer for the cars. You hit the bump less in turn 16, so I'm happy with it. I think it's better now than it was.
Q: Fernando, do have a car good enough to attack in the first corner or do you think it's better to keep your position and wait until the battle at turn three?
FA: I think we need to see two things: first of all, the condition of the track tomorrow. There's supposed to be some rain coming in the morning, so we need to see with which tyres and in what conditions we start. And then secondly, if it's dry at the start of the race, we need to see how the starts are. We've been a little bit inconsistent in some races with some good starts and some bad start, so tomorrow, for sure, is a day to have one of the good ones. Try to pass at least one of the Red Bulls, try to protect (my position) from the guys behind: Rosberg, Hamilton. So there are still a lot of things to do before turn five or six. I'm sure that there will be some attacking manoeuvres at turn one, turn three but on the other hand, some defending manoeuvres because the race is long and we need to finish the race. We cannot afford to be out of the race in the one of the first corners.
Q: (Frederic Ferret -- L'Equipe) Sebastian and Fernando, if there is no rain, do you think you will have more grip than on the other side of the grid as there are no support races?
FA: There will be similar grip on both sides.

Wigmore Castle Walking
Walking in Wigmore Castle
Mortimer Country, is superb walking country. The are routes suitable for all levels of walking, from leisurely strolls to the pub or around a picturesque village. Well marked trails around local forests and country estates, to countryside rambles. Mortimer Country is also home to several nationally recognized long distance Walking Trails. Every village in the area, like Wigmore Castle has easy access to some great walks, see our walking page and walking festival page for more details. We add more information to these pages as often as we can.
Here are a few of the highlights
The Mortimer Trail is a 30 mile Walking route from the Kington to Ludlow. It is an ideal long distance walk to spend a few days walking. Either book a 3 day walking holiday package with all accommodation, luggage transfers and maps. Or do your own thing and book Bed & Breakfast or a self catering holiday cottage. This is an ideal walking holiday to take your dog along - as the majority of the walk follows Forest paths. There are also a range of loop walks - ideal if you want to fit in a pub lunch too.
Offa's Dyke National Trail - borders the Mortimer Country countryside, so if you are planning a walk along the Offa's Dyke why not use accommodation from Wigmore Castle for this stage of the walking trail. Or use your base in your holiday cottage to walk along sections of the Offa's Dyke. This stretch of Offa's Dyke has the best remains of the Offa's Dyke earthworks. Wheely Wonderful Cycling also has holiday walking packages along the Offas' Dyke making the holiday organization easy for you.
Walking With Offa' - there is a range of well written and signposted routes around Mortimer Country - especially from Bucknell. See the Mortimer Country website for downloadable maps.
Bus Walks. Use the local buses and the Castle Connect bus service to walk one of the range of short walks around Mortimer Country. Maps are downloadable from the Mortimer Country Website.
National Trust Walks - Croft Castle has a range of walks around its estate, which overlap with the Mortimer Trail all start from Croft Castle.
Mortimer Forest Walks - starting from High Vinnalls car park on the Wigmore road and Black pool car park, near Richards Castle. Signposted walks , including an all ability trail on good forest tracks.
Walking events and Mortimer Country Walking Festival. There are lots of guided walks throughout the year in Mortimer Country. Many of these walks take you into areas which are not usually accessible to the public, like the Brampton Bryan "walk in the Park" Check our events guide and our Walking Festival Page.

Studio Milton
I am one of a new generation of designer/craftsmen focussing on the very highest level of quality and bringing the personal, tailored and unique back to a discerning group of clients. I have been designing and making contemporary, commissioned pieces of individual, hand-crafted furniture since 2003 and with the expansion of our business comes the need for a great logo.
We specialise in designing and making bespoke furniture using australian hardwood. We are extremely aware that without wood our business could not exist and therefore take great interest in conservation and sustainable harvesting. We buy all our timber from sustainable sources within a 100km radius of the workshop and so all our bespoke furniture commissions are made from local Australian hardwoods. Our approach to furniture making is holistic and we are part of the entire process from the milling of the logs, seasoning the timber right through to the finished piece.
The majority of our clients are people buying items that they wont replace and will become family heirlooms. High income earners seeking quality of design and a beautiful, original pieces of furniture.
My pieces are modern with clean lines, I generally don't make antique, oldy world style furniture and would like the project to reflect this.
handmade quality feel but not crafty.
design needs to focus on the text "Studio Milton" a symbol isn't neccesary, however if you have something abstract in mind that will enhance the text then please feel free to play!
I don't want cartoony, comical texts or symbols.
I dont want wood grain, tools, wood shavings/curls.
All designs submitted must be original works. Absolutely no stock images, clip art, third party designs or logos should be submitted
an example of what I don't like
This logo will be used on business cards, stationary, clothing and website.

Bondi's Best
I trained at some of the best seafood restaurants in sydney. I will be opening my idea of the best fish and chip shop. This will contain a fresh display that I have hand picked from the sydney fish markets every morning. The shop will also contain a sushi bar that seats 7 people and will all be made to order by our sushi chef that has been poached from japan. The shop will have a total of 18 seats. I want everyone to be able to have the best fish at a great price, it comes down to how its caught, how its stored and most of all how its cooked by the best or eaten raw.
The target audience is for the locals. Bondi beach has alot of tourist trade. My shop will be located at north bondi which is used by the locals of sydney and bondi. The area contains about 30% of the jewish community which I plan to target with kosher fish one day a week, and have set up the fresh display so that the fish fillets and the shell fish are kept seperate. The prices will not be expensive for the area.
I am looking for a logo for a fish restaurant/shop that will serve fresh fish, cooked fish, sushi and ready to go meals like My famous snapper pie.
1. No Cartoons
2. Keep it simple
3. I am thinking a blue and white logo but its up to you!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
Attached is a fish scupture that I like. It could look something like that but must include that name Bondi's Best.

A kid-friendly lesson in bike safety./Photo by By C.J. Salgado
By C.J. Salgado
It wasn't just the park ducks that were out and about on Saturday enjoying the drizzly weather at the East Los Angeles Civic Center. Local families, too, came out for the East L.A. Safe Connections Festival, which featured Metro's proposal to make walking and bicycling to neighborhood Gold Line stations safer and more enjoyable. There were also law enforcement and firefighting exhibits, East L.A. Farmers Market vendors, as well as activities for the whole family.
The festival is part of a $9 million project designed to encourage and improve pedestrian and bicycle access to Gold Line station in East L.A. In keeping with promoting safer bicycling, over 60 kids got a chance to participate in a short Bike Safety and Skills Course. For this, the presenter, Walk 'n' Rollers, provided various bicycles for youngsters from age 3 to 11, helmets, and instruction while putting the riders through a short, coned track complete with stop signs and traffic signals. Jim Shanman, biking instructor and founder, said it's all about "having fun and learning essential skills to be safe."
There were plenty of other family activities, too at the event, which was organized by County Supervisor Gloria Molina, Metro and sheriff's and county fire departments. Some kids preferred to dance away the time with hula hoops. Others jumped their hearts out in a jumper or got colorful face paintings. Even learning about law enforcement and firefighting was fun, too, because kids got to see the California Highway Patrol's racy patrol car, the Camaro. Not to be outdone, the Fire Department was out in force with various exhibits including its Hazardous Materials Squad tractor-trailer. Firefighter "Ramirez" put a lot of smiles on kids as he gave them a little mini tour of the huge vehicle and let kids try on an official firefighter's turnout gear.
As its name implies, this event sought to focus attention on a project to improve the walking and bicycling experience of those utilizing the local Metro stations thru the Metro Gold Line Eastside Station Access Program, providing over $9 million in funding for this purpose. Various workshops were held to provide information on the project, gather local input on needs, and identify community "treasures," special places in East L.A. to visit.

Feb 21, 2006 (CIDRAP News) – The US government recently agreed to collaborate with France's Institut Pasteur (IP) on efforts to increase the world's ability to detect influenza viruses that could lead to a human flu pandemic.
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will set up a joint working group with IP to oversee the collaboration, which will focus initially on Southeast Asia, HHS announced on Feb 6. IP is a private, nonprofit foundation with an international network of centers working to prevent and treat infectious diseases.
HHS said initial plans under the agreement include:
- Building capacity for surveillance, epidemiologic investigation, testing, diagnosis, and control of infectious diseases in countries affected by and at risk for the spread of H5N1 avian flu
- Exchanging technical expertise to promote rapid response to disease threats
- Disseminating effective and accurate public information on infectious diseases in developing countries, including messages in local languages
A memorandum establishing the collaboration was signed Feb 6 by HHS Deputy Secretary Alex M. Azar and IP President Alice Dautry.
"This partnership will substantially strengthen the capacity to prepare for and respond to a pandemic in countries where avian influenza is now endemic in poultry and where human infections and deaths have occurred," Azar said in the HHS announcement. "We are very pleased to partner with IP, an internationally respected research institute with such an impressive global network of institutes."
Avian flu and other respiratory diseases have been a major concern of IP, said Dautry, as quoted in the HHS news release. "We have laid a heavy focus on them since 2004 and heartily welcome this new partnership with HHS to fight the potential pandemic."
HHS spokesman Bill Hall told CIDRAP News the agreement provides for the sharing of information and other resources related to avian flu and pandemic planning.
"To my knowledge there's not a specific project that's now under way" under the pact, though projects will evolve, Hall said. "We'll be sharing staff people who may go to IP to work in their labs and learn what they're doing, and sharing information back and forth. We may make use of IP labs in Southeast Asia so we don't have to build our own labs."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be a "primary component" of HHS involved in the collaboration, but it will involve other agencies as well, such as the Office of Public Health Emergency Preparedness, Hall said.
He said no money is changing hands under the agreement at this point. "It's an agreement that says we'll work closely together because we have common goals and have resources that complement each other. At this point there's no money involved."
The agreement stems from a tour of Southeast Asia in October 2005 by HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt and an international delegation of health experts, according to HHS. During that trip and subsequent negotiations, HHS and IP developed a plan to collaborate on avian flu containment and surveillance efforts in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Stewart Simonson, assistant secretary for public health emergency preparedness, led the negotiations for HHS.

The document Techniques for WCAG 2.0 provides test procedures to evaluate Web content. Each WCAG 2.0 Test Sample refers to a specific test procedure in the Techniques document. Test Samples are prepared examples of correct and incorrect implementations of the Techniques so that the outcome is known when the related test procedures are executed by tools or humans. The example content in the Test Samples can be composed of one or more test files and may use different Web technologies such as HTML, CSS, or scripting. WCAG 2.0 Test Samples Metadata is used to describe the composition of the example content, the technologies it uses, and the expected outcome of the test execution. This is especially useful for automated processing of the Test Samples, for example by automated Web accessibility evaluation tools. Web content developers and tool vendors are encouraged to contribute to the Test Samples repository (an online submission form will be provided).
This WCAG 2.0 Test Samples repository is not an exhaustive collection of test examples. It does not cover every possible scenario and situation, nor is it a definitive resource for conformance evaluation. The content demonstrated in the test samples are not necessarily best practices or the only form of implementation that conforms to WCAG 2.0. Refer to the guidelines for a normative definition of the Principles, Guidelines, Success Criteria and Techniques.
Use Cases
The following are a few scenarios to highlight the usage of WCAG 2.0 Test Samples by different types of audience.
Evaluation Tool Developers
Evaluation tool developers can carry out evaluations on the content of the test samples and compare the results generated by their software with the expected outcome. These tests could be carried out fully automatically or with the help of human intervention.
Authoring Tool Developers
Authoring tool developers could use the content of the test samples to compare it with the content generated by their software. Test samples demonstrate some of the common mistakes as well as some of the current solutions or best practices of implementation.
User Agent Developers
User agent developers including browser and assistive technology makers can use the content of the test samples to improve the means of rendering in their software. The metadata of the test samples may contain additional information about user agent support for the content.
Web Content Developers
Web content developers can use the content of the test samples to learn about common mistakes and some of the current solutions or best practices of implementations. Understanding implementation practices is also essential for evaluating Web content for accessibility.

There are many reasons why aluminium is the preferred material in outdoor infrastructure and used in bridges, lighting in smart cities and modern railways.
Low maintenance
Extruded aluminium products last long and require minimal maintenance. They are weatherproof, corrosion-resistant and immune to the effects of UV rays. Add surface treatment for a certain color or design, and performance is optimized even further.
Our aluminium pole products are certified according to the applicable European EN 40/EN 12899 standard and tested in accordance with the EN 12767 standard by an independent accredited test institute. We give you the opportunity to design and create safe roads with Fully Certified (and endorsed by a Notified Body) passively safe poles in all shapes and sizes.
Light and strong
Installing infrastructure is easier with a lightweight material. Aluminium's high strength-to-weight ratio enables you to design light structures that are stable.
Eternal life
Hydro was the first light pole manufacturer to be Cradle to Cradle Certified™ for its products. Non-polluting aluminium is well suited to outdoor infrastructure and is easy to recycle and reuse.
Contact our technical team to discuss your infrastructure project in more detail.
What could be better than aluminium poles that are light, fully recyclable, require no maintenance, and are impact-safe?

This week's big controversy in parenting: Moms on Meds! As in, Why are so many moms on psychiatric medications and how can we make them feel guilty and ashamed? It's not a new controversy, not by a longshot: "Mother's Little Helper" by The Rolling Stones came out in 1966, and the Valium-inspired lyrics are perfectly relevant 40 years later:
Kids are different today, I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
Times haven't changed that much, except now we have more choices -- it was a recent article about how Xanax helps one woman to "be a better mom" that re-ignited the "moms on meds" debate.
A debate which is, in theory, born out of some concern that we're suddenly, needlessly over-medicating moms for a range of unpleasant but normal maternal emotions: Sadness, anxiety, pessimism, insomnia, irritability, fatigue. A debate stemming from the belief that moms should be able to "pull themselves out of it." From the implication that mothers who "fall back" on psychiatric meds are either lazy or addicted or unstable -- unfit.
More from The Stir: Mothers on Meds Don't Need Your Judgment
Not only is this a dangerous, irresponsible argument for any medical professional to make, in my personal opinion, it's completely untrue. I know from experience that post-partum depression is real. So is post-post-partum depression tinged with anxiety and the occasional panic attack. So are maternally-induced insomnia and melancholy and a whole host of other motherhood-related emotional disorders that go beyond "unpleasant but normal" into "I can't function like this" territory. And I also know from experience that medication can help. A lot. So rather than question the validity or judge the morality of moms on meds, let's just look at a few ways psychiatric medications truly can help some of us to be better moms.
Meds can:
1. Help make the oftentimes terrifying world seem like a less terrifying place to raise children.
2. Lessen out-of-control mommy guilt (which, left unchecked, can lead to/aggravate depression).
3. Make it easier to manage the stress of juggling more work/family/life responsibilities than human beings are meant to juggle at one time.
4. Help regulate sleep patterns/avoid crippling fatigue.
5. Help keep the everyday emotional ups-and-downs of your children in perspective.
Obviously I'm not saying that every mom should be on meds or even that every mom currently on meds should be on meds, but I am saying some of us do need to be on meds, and that today's medications are a far better option than the methods of self-medication mothers (and others) were forced to resort to in the past. The stigma needs to go.
Do you think meds can help some of us to be better moms? How?

Breaking Abbottabad
Zero Dark Thirty
Official Website | Trailers & Mo
R | 157 min
Dude, do you remember how intense and thrilling and awesome Kathryn Bigelow & Mark Boal's Hurt Locker is was???? Well guess what, Biges and Boals did one better on collab numero 2, basically telling Homeland and Argo to argofuckthemselves. Zero Dark Thirty is like watching one of those Bourne movies, cept what's going on REALLY HAPPENED and what we're being shown seems really really fcuking real. FO REALS!!! not faux reels!!!
So what is Zero Dark Thirty? It's 2 minus 2, the opposite of day + 30. BAM! C'mon, you know what this is about – it's a summarization of failing for ages to find Osama bin Laden, and then maybe finding him, and then deciding whether that maybe is close enuff to a certainty as humanly possible, before pulling the final trigger… on pulling the trigger on OBL. It's frustrating, and more frustrating, and even more frustrating, but then it gets exciting and even more exciting, and even more more exciting, and then we're back in the Bigelow-Boal thrill ride where yer heart's a pounding and yer palms are a sweating, even though you know that OBL aint living past the end credits. SPOILER ALERT – OBL dies. But how did we get to that point? THAT'S WHAT THIS MOVIE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!
So when Bigs was making this movie, she was probably like, I want to have someone awesome like Jodie Foster to play my Clarice Starling darling character, so she got herself Jessica Chastain. PERFECT! Then she was like, we need a bunch of random actors that are good, but not huge names, to help Chasty out, and she was like welcome aboard Kyle Chandler, Jennifer Ehle, Harold Perrineau, Jeremy Strong, Mark Strong, Mark Duplass & [my boy] Édgar Ramírez. Then she was like, I need a beardy guy that's super good at yelling and torture and then they got Jason Clarke and he did that. Then she was like, I need two beardos to play beardo Navy Seals, so she got that guy from Parks & Rec who's character isn't as funny as everyone thinks it is and fake Owen Lars from the BS Star Wars poo-quels. But guess what, the casting didn't end there. She was like, oh, I need some fat guy that could pass for Leon Panetta, and so BAM, put on some 80s Japanese bidness-man eyeglasses James Gandolfini! And she threw in Stephen Dillane for good measure. That's eggzatcly how the casting was done, as told to me by a magic elf fairy from Rivendale
What more do you need to know? GO AMERICA! NEVER QUIT! Always keep your eye on the ball. Kick a guy in the balls, but only IF it will lead to info that will get us to Osama bin Laden. And if we get that info, lets lose it for like 7 years, but since we don't give up, we find it again and follow up and finally hang our 'mission accomplished' banners. Way to go us/US. Red, White & BEST!!!!
Spank dog Morgan Spurlock never found OBL, cause otherwise this movie wouldn't eggsist
Verdictgo: Breast In Show
Zero Hot Tens: Jessica Collins is in the movie for all of 8 seconds, but she hypnothighsed me with her eyes
and then I remembered where she had done it before – the sorta-brilliant but cancelled Rubicon
Zero Dark Thirty sees the light in NY & LA on Wednesday and elsewhere on January 11
and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…

Steve Lewis is back. It's not like he went anywhere; he still lives in Swarthmore. But the former Strath Haven boys basketball coach has been installed as an assistant at Penn Wood.
After heading the Panthers for four years, Lewis (pictured, with Haven 1,000-point scorer Calvin Newell) was removed from the team's top spot March 30 after recording a 34-65 record. He directed the Panthers to a 15-12 record last season, which featured a District One Class AAA runner-up finish and a berth in the second round of the PIAA tournament. It was their deepest postseason run in 12 seasons.
Lewis joins a talented coaching staff at Penn Wood, where he will serve under Clyde Jones. The others on Jones' PIAA Class AAAA championship-winning staff are Matt Lindeman, Derek Jones, Con Kirkaldy, Dwight Maness and school AD Rap Curry.

Chelsea are set to firm up their interest in Portugal under-20 starlet Bruma with a €15m offer for the 18-year-old, according to reports in Portugal.
The teenage forward has been the standout player at the FIFA under-20 World Cup in Turkey, with scouts from across Europe in attendance.
And Portuguese newspaper A Bola claims that Jose Mourinho wants to wrap up a deal as soon as possible before rival bids drive up his price further.
Bruma has hit five goals in two matches for the Portuguese under-20 team in Turkey, and currently leads the competition's scoring charts heading into the knock-out round.
The 18-year-old has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, another former-Sporting youth team star, and Bruma could make the same transition from Portugal to Premier League.
But Sporting are desperate to hold on to their prize asset, and are keen to offer the teenager a new and improved contract to keep him at the club.
They privately concede that Bruma will eventually leave, but want a new contract in place to ensure they receive the maximum compensation.
There's also a feeling that once Bruma fully breaks into the first-team next season, the exposure will drive his price higher while also offering him the best chance to develop quickly.
Chelsea have one of the best youth teams in England, having appeared in three FA Youth Cup finals in the past four years, but Bruma will want first-team football after breaking into the main Sporting squad earlier this year.

A local coroner on Sunday identified five Pennsylvania residents as the victims of a horrific crash involving two motorcycles and an SUV near the Maryland state line.
WATCH: Woman Killed in School Bus Crash
All four people traveling on the motorcycles died, as did Marjorie Smith, 68, of Johnstown, who was a passenger in the SUV, according to Franklin County coroner Jeffrey Conner.
The motorcyclists were Douglas Hoffer Jr., 32, of Quarryville; Colleen Nesbitt, 27, of Gap; and David Russell, 67, and Michelle Russell, 53, both of Mount Joy.
The crash happened Saturday afternoon in the south-central Pennsylvania community of Washington Township, not far from Waynesboro.
According to Conner, the northbound SUV crossed the center line on Fort Ritchie Access Road for unknown reasons and hit the motorcycle driven by Hoffer. The SUV then spun around and was broadsided by the Russells' bike, he said in a statement.
Conner would not comment on the relationships among the victims. Washington Township police released no further information about the accident on Sunday.
Township Supervisor Elaine Gladhill told The Herald-Mail of Hagerstown, Md., that she went to the scene because of the high number of fatalities to support emergency workers. Grief counselors were on hand, she said.
"The scene was horrific,'' said Gladhill. ``It's probably the worst single accident with that many fatalities in the township.''
Gladhill did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Sunday.
