What can you say......? Sticky Touratech forkleg stickers that protect your fork legs from bugs and crap.......Had mine on for a year and a half and they still look good and are still sticking to the forks like they should. A wee tip when fitting them in the cold Scottish winter.......Warm them up a bit and they'll stick like sh*t to a blanket!
By Farmer Palmer on Jul 06, 2012 at 03:07:57 PM
Look good, will keep the little chip marks off the bottom of the forks now. I used a single edge razor blade to GENTLY remove a bit of the adhesive covering from the center of each piece. This allowed more accurate placement. As stated by other poster....hit the area to be covered with hair dryer first ....warm them up....better adhesion!

Mulberry, Mulberry, Mulberry- why do you do this to us?! As if it wasn't enough to have us lusting over the Del Rey, the Lily and the old-school Alexa, Mulberry have brought out yet another must have bag and it is a bit of a beauty.
Say hello to the Maisie. The Maisie first made an appearance in the A/W 2012 collection back in February, but to celebrate the launch of Mulberry in both the London and Tokyo outlets of the prestigious Dover Street Market, Mulberry have designed a special collection for the high end department store, available from the 20th of July.
The Maisie collection is to be sold exclusively at Dover Street Market until September and is made up of three covetable styles. The spacious North South tote is perfect for work with it's structured bucket shape, the smaller East West is a more of a shopper and the Maisie Pouch is the ultimate clutch bag, sure to spark some serious bag envy.
All in a butter-soft leather, the bags feature a cool trump l'oeil front panel and come in a selection of three versatile shades- black, oak and flame. Our pick is the Maisie pouch in zingy flame, the perfect way to perk up a summer dress or add a colour pop to your winter wardrobe.
Unfortunately, though, these luxury bags have a price-tag to match with the pouch at £395 and the totes at £995 a pop! But surely these everyday bags will be worth it in cost-per-wear terms? That definitely going to be our excuse!

I'm a huge proponent of persistence. I believe that most of the obstacles we face in business and in life are mile markers that are necessary for our overall success.
On the wall of my office I have a plaque with the immortal words of Winston Churchill, 'Never, never, never give up.' Keeping one foot moving in front of the other is the only way to really get anywhere.
But regardless of my attitude toward the value and importance of persistence, there are times, especially in the life of an entrepreneur, when you need to recognize that throwing in the towel is the best course of action for you to take. Yes, I'm talking about giving up.
Well, actually I'm talking more about employing a business strategy that looks a lot like giving up from the outside but is actually a way to optimize business efficiency and output.
A few months ago I was asked to provide a sales training workshop to a small group of digital sales people and media buyers in the mobile space. As part of my due diligence, I spent some time with a client contact to review their needs. Once I had a clear list of the people who would be in attendance and what they needed to learn, I set off to create my workshop materials.
On the day of the training I met with the group and we had a fun, productive afternoon. At one point I pulled my client contact aside and asked him if the workshop was meeting his team's needs, and he assured me it was absolutely perfect. That night I returned home feeling pretty happy about my day and the opportunity to empower this team.
So you might imagine my surprise when I received a call the next day from a senior manager of the company telling me that the people in attendance were disappointed with the workshop and that it didn't meet their needs. I was also told that they would like me to present two more workshops as a make good to cover content more specific to their needs and marketplace.

NEW YORK — A new law allowing Michael Bloomberg to seek a third term as mayor of New York City could be undone by the state legislature, which is considering a bill to require a voter referendum on the issue.
Arguing his expertise was needed to help the city deal with the global financial crisis, Bloomberg this month signed a law increasing the term limit for elected officials to three four-year terms from two.
The law reversed two public referendums, held in 1993 and 1996, that imposed the two-term limit. Bloomberg is a former Wall Street trader and self-made billionaire who was elected mayor in 2001 and again in 2005.
State Sen. Kevin Parker on Friday submitted a bill that would block the law from taking effect until a referendum is held in early March. A companion bill has been proposed in the New York State Assembly and both bills will be formally introduced at the next legislative session on Wednesday.
"This creates a bad precedent in this state for people who want to hold onto power," said Parker, a Brooklyn Democrat.
He said the bill would halt the Republican mayor's "power grab" and allow voters to be heard.
State Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries, who proposed his version of the bill earlier this month, said 16 members of the 150-member assembly have agreed to co-sponsor the bill and Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat and power broker in the statehouse, has vowed not to block it.
A spokesman for Bloomberg declined to comment. But the mayor has rejected holding a referendum on the grounds that New Yorkers could express any disagreement by not voting for him in the November 2009 election.
A civil rights lawsuit is pending in federal court that contests the term limits law for denying voters "meaningful participation in the political process."

Combating Lawfare
IPT News
March 15, 2010
Federal courts are slowly becoming a new battlefield in the war on terror, with combatants setting aside traditional weapons and arming themselves instead with domestic and international laws. Responding to this phenomenon, the inaugural meeting of The Lawfare Project convened last week in New York to discuss The Use of the Law as a Weapon of War.
Major General Charles Dunlap coined the term lawfare, identifying it as:
"a cynical manipulation of the rule of law and the humanitarian values it represents. Rather than seeking battlefield victories, per se, challengers try to destroy the will to fight by undermining the public support that is indispensable when democracies like the U.S. conduct military interventions."
Dunlap recognized some time ago, as Supreme Court Attorney (France) Francois-Henri Briard said at the conference, "the law may be a weapon, and litigation a battlefield."
The day-long conference brought together diverse panels of experts from around the world. Their discussions focused on the ever-growing threat from Islamists' exploitation of international and domestic legal systems to intimidate and silence their critics. In particular, as the organizers explained, the conference focused on the manipulation of the legal system for three strategic purposes:
- To thwart free speech on issues of national security and public concern.
- To delegitimize and diminish the sovereignty of democratic states.
- To inhibit the right and ability of democracies to defend themselves against terrorism.
Setting the stage, the participants identified the scope of lawfare, providing some context for the issue. In 400 B.C. Chinese General Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War, that in fighting a stronger foe, "success begins by seizing something which your opponents hold dear; then he will be amenable to your will." As the panel discussions demonstrated, America and the West hold dear the rule of law, and so our enemies have met with some success in attempting to hijack Western legal and moral principles to turn international media and public opinion against us.
Think being the victim of a frivolous lawsuit simply for speaking out against terrorism sounds crazy? Think again. Discussing this very issue on radio, Executive Director of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation (MASF) Mahdi Bray explained:
"Folks, that's got to be the next horizon for our community. In order to deal with these haters, these bashers, these Islamophobes, we've got to be willing to spend our money in a court of law. And not necessarily because we don't look for money, but we need to be able to say we need to spend our money and make you spend your money, and you're gonna stop doing this to us."
In 2005, the Islamic Society of Boston filed a lawsuit charging defamation against over a dozen defendants, including the Boston Herald, Fox 25 News, and Investigative Project on Terrorism Executive Director Steven Emerson. The defendants were targeted by ISB for publicly speaking about the Islamic Society's connections to radical Islam and for raising questions about the construction of its Saudi-funded mosque in Boston. Two years after instituting the lawsuit, and immediately following the discovery phase of the litigation, ISB dropped its case.
Similarly, in 2007, KinderUSA, sued terrorism analyst Matthew Levitt, claiming it was libeled in Levitt's book, Hamas: Politics, Charity and Terrorism in the Service of Jihad. In the book, Levitt included KinderUSA among "other American-based charities [which] continue to fund Hamas" after the Holy Land Foundation closed its doors. KinderUSA dropped the case four months later after Levitt and publisher Yale University Press filed motions invoking California's anti-SLAPP provisions—claiming the litigation was intended more to squelch the book than to produce any courtroom damages.
The Islamist movement, as Brooke Goldstein and Aaron Eitan Meyer, have explained in an article titled "Legal Jihad": How Islamist Lawfare Tactics are Targeting Free Speech, "is made up of two wings—that which operates violently, propagating suicide-homicide bombing and other terrorist activities, and that which operates lawfully, conducting a 'soft jihad' within our media, government and court systems, through Shari'a banking and within our school system." These groups work together:
"For example, one tenet of Shari'a law is to punish those who criticize Islam and to silence speech considered blasphemous of its prophet Mohammad. While the violent arm of the Islamist movement attempts to silence speech by murdering film directors such as Theo Van Gogh and by forcing thinkers such as Wafa Sultan into hiding out of fear for her life, the lawful arm is skillfully maneuvering within Western court systems, hiring lawyers and suing to silence its critics."
These lawsuits are being used as a weapon of war against counter-terrorism experts, law enforcement personnel, politicians and anyone working to disseminate information on Islamist terrorism and its sources of financing. These lawsuits are often predatory, filed without a serious expectation of winning, and undertaken as a means to intimidate, demoralize and bankrupt defendants.
Rather than simply identifying a problem without proposing solutions, panelists had many ideas for combating lawfare.
First, in the face of frivolous suits intended to stymie debate, those who truly believe in the application of the rule of law to achieve justice must stand up and defend themselves against the allegations. As Utah Attorney General Mark L. Shurtleff explained during the conference, "the best defense to the legal manipulations of our adversaries is to take the offense and stand firm, as the Roman historian Livy wrote, with 'pride in our own past and our achievements.'" As Shurtleff stated, the battle will truly be lost if we cede the ground.
More than simply playing defense, panelists agreed that reverence to the rule of law demands proactive action—filing civil suits against the supporters of terrorist groups to ensure that they are as bankrupt as the ideologies that they support.
The war on terrorism today is virtually without borders and must be fought accordingly. While the United States has devoted tremendous federal resources to shutting down the support structure of terrorist groups, private citizens have already recognized that more can still be done. They have taken up arms against the support structure of terrorist groups, using the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1990 to hit these white-collar terrorists where it hurts the most—their checkbooks.
In May 2005, the parents of David Boim, a 17 year old New Yorker who was killed in a Hamas terrorist attack in the West Bank, filed a lawsuit against U.S.-based organizations and individuals that provided logistical and financial support to Hamas. In December 2008, a federal appeals court ruling upheld the $156 million judgment against three of the charities. Similarly, in 2005 victims of Hamas suicide bombings sued National Westminster, a British-based bank, seeking to recover money from Hamas linked accounts.
As current Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Gabriela Shalev explained during the conference, "those engaging in lawfare are misusing the laws of war and the open-mindedness of democracies" to undermine the rule of law and diminish legitimate grievances. Rather than sit idly by and allow this to happen, the conference participants proposed a call for action—fight back.

define "lawfare"

Since repeated requests from myself to the Wall Street Journal as to what constitutes a "frivolous or politically motivated lawsuit against US soldiers or policymakers"( as in the WSJ's repeated denunciations of "lawfare" in particular and the International Criminal Court in general), it is worth noting that the only "politically motivated" attempts to prosecute US leaders to date have been the attempted impeachments of Presidents Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998 and NEITHER had anything to do with the matter of war crimes or crimes against humanity!
Maybe it is time we take a page from our adversaries...

There are many human rights violations across the globe.
Why won't some in the legal profession establish groups (call them any way you want) and swamp the international courts with lawsuits, actions, whatever regarding such violations?
It will serve two purposes:
Make more countries the target of the International Criminal Court, and thus alleviate the pressure from Israel and the USA.
And, if enough lawsuits are brought about, swamp the International Courts to the extent that they will find it harder to function.
Any takers?
Jihad is Jihad

Thank you for another excellent essay. It is long past time for us to fight back but better late than never. It is high time we in the United States and other western countries started targeting the groups that support terrorist groups and terrorism. There are many Islamic groups that are extremely subversive and promote violence behind the scene as to not attract the attention of the gov't, which might be fatal. In this time of having an Islamist as POTUS, dear leader, the mullah obamaham it is of paramount importance that whatever and wherever we can combat legal jihad, stealth jihad, soft and hard jihad, we must step up to the plate today. For tomorrow it may well be too late. The Obama administration's support of so many Islam ic organization in our country is troubling and leave much to be desired in this commenter's opinion.

Kigali — Following the discovery of bodies of Gorillas after three females and one male silverback had been shot to death in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has said it is taking measures to ensure that does not happen again, RNA reports.
"The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and its partners are taking swift action to protect critically endangered (the remaining) mountain gorillas", the Fund said yesterday.
Reports from conservationists in Eastern DRC indicate that the bodies were discovered in the southern sector of the Virunga National Park by rangers from the Institute for the Conservation of Nature (ICCN), the DRC's wildlife and protected areas authority.
All four mountain gorillas were shot, but it is unclear who killed them and why, the WWF said. RNA reported Monday that the four gorillas belonged to the Rugendo family that lived in the area often visited by tourists.
The park lies in the heart of one of the most troubled regions of Africa. The country is struggling to emerge from a civil war that has left an estimated 4 million people dead and dates back to the Genocide in Rwanda in 1994.
Today the area is home to a vast array of rebel militias, government soldiers, foreign troops, and villagers who are unsympathetic to the rangers protecting the park.
Rwanda reaped $32million last year from the visitors coming in to view the rare animals that have now become an element of national pride. The tourists' coming has also been providing valuable economic benefits for local communities.
Estimates show that just over 700 mountain gorillas survive in the wild today, and none exist in captivity. For such a small population the unnecessary and indiscriminate killing of four mountain gorillas is a huge loss.
There are currently five gorilla families open for tracking to tourists in Rwanda. These are - Amahoro, Susa, Group 13, Sabyinyo and Umubano.
"WWF is deeply saddened by these shocking deaths and is immediately engaging with ICCN, the International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP) as well as the US State Department to develop a quick and appropriate response," said Richard Carroll, anaging Director of WWF's Congo Basin Program.
The International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP) was formed in 1991 and is a partnership between the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Fauna & Flora International (FFI), the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and the protected area authorities in Rwanda, Uganda and the DRC, to conserve the threatened mountain gorillas and their forest habitat.
The role of the partnership, that's also includes Rwanda's Tourism Office ORTPIN is to ensure the conservation of mountain gorillas and their regional afromontane forest habitat in Rwanda, Uganda and the DRC
Mr. Carroll also added: "Strict measures will be taken to ensure the safety of the other gorillas in the area. WWF will continue to work with partners to strengthen protection measures and seek permanent solutions to ensure the safety of these rare animals."
Meanwhile, the male silverback was an alpha male. Alpha males fulfill a leadership role within a group, and in their absence the integrity of the group is often compromised.
Before the killings, the Rugendo group was comprised of 12 individuals. Conservationists from the DRC wild life authority confirmed that six were safe, but two gorillas - a female and an infant, are still missing.
ICCN patrols have been increased within the southern sector of the park with support from the DRC army. Guard posts are being constructed to provide 24-hour surveillance of the park.
The Virunga National Park is one of Africa's oldest national parks and one of Earth's most important biological ecoregions. WWF has been working in Virunga National Park for 20 years on environmental education and awareness programs, sustainable livelihoods, reforestation and the protection of species such as mountain gorillas.
A recent survey found that gorilla numbers in the Virunga Mountains have increased by 17 percent over the past 14 years to 380, so the latest killings highlight the need for increased resources and protection.
"Just two months ago, we celebrated the increase of the gorilla population in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda," said Dr. Kwame Koranteng, Regional Representative of WWF's Eastern Africa Regional Program Office. "Seven gorillas killed in seven months is a horrifying statistic and a trend that cannot continue."
Earlier this year reports from the volatile eastern DRC said two silverback male gorillas were shot dead in the same area of the park. The perpetrators were believed to be supporters of Laurent Nkunda.
The skin of one of the dead gorillas was recovered from a latrine in a nearby rebel camp. In May, a female gorilla was shot dead in the same park. Her infant is now being hand reared by the ICCN in Goma.
Post mortem examinations on the four gorillas are being carried out. The bodies will be buried near Bukima, an outpost within the park.

Home Tonight follows the path of Henri Nouwen's spiritual homecoming. More than three years prior to writing his great classic, The Return of the Prodigal Son, Nouwen suffered a personal breakdown followed by a time of healing solitude when he encountered Rembrandt's famous painting. Within his solitude he reflected on and identified with the parable's characters and experienced profound and inspiring life lessons.This captivating book was created from never-before-published materials that formed the basis of the small workshop inspired by Nouwen's intimate encounter with Rembrandt's painting. Readers are led to welcome their unique Belovedness through practices of "spiritual listening," journaling, and communing with God, thus connecting personally with the unique, unconditional love of the One who created them. Home Tonight is a practical guide for the inner journey home.
Henri J. M. Nouwen (1932-1996) was a Catholic priest who taught at several theological institutions and universities in his home country of the Netherlands and in the United States. He spent the final years of his life teaching and ministering… More about Henri Nouwen

2013 Audi A3 spied showing new details
Just a few weeks ago we showed you some undisguised interior spy shots of the next generation 2013 Audi A3. Now spies have spotted it again but this time with a little bit less camouflage revealing a few new details.
For the first time we can see the front bumper with the fully exposed fog lights, air intakes and big grill as well as the headlamp shape.
The rear is also less disguised showing the backup lamps, liftgate panel which has upper and lower sections and the tailamp shape as it cuts into the quarter panel. The back glass is also free of camouflage.
Lots of details on the upcoming next-generation Audi A3 can be found in a previous story here.

So let me get this straight. A bunch of people here are making negative criticisms about the new A3's design, even though the car is almost entirely disguised. Perhaps you should all hold off on your irrational hatred for Audi until the car is officially revealed. Lol.
Dec 13, 2011 3:12 am
The plastic/rubber side strip is gone... is this a styling necessity or cost cuffing measure?
Dec 12, 2011 8:27 pm
I love Audi and nothing's gonna change it but this starts to be dull. They're getting so predictible with every new car launched. I think Audi needs something fresh, otherwise their model range may start to look dated. And what I am really affraid of is that this car looks like a major restyled current gen rather than completely new model, but not sure.
Dec 12, 2011 5:57 pm
they think there is no need to change the design because people like this actual design, they don't risk it. You want A3 but it's expensive? go buy A1. A1 is small, go buy A3 not so complex but I hope the design line is gonna change in a few years

There is nothing more boring than Audi spy shots. Why do they need camouflage at all? It just looks like a big A1 or a small A4. @Audi hire new desingers!!
Dec 12, 2011 12:41 pm
So it's got the front of an A4 and the back of an A1 with slimmer tail-lights. Well done Audi. I'm off to have a look at BMW thanks.....
Dec 12, 2011 10:40 am
I love Audi... but come on, the styling is getting ridiculous. You have to come up with fresher designs if you ever want to compete with the likes of BMW.
Dec 12, 2011 10:27 am
Will this be the Audi that starts the new styling language that they were talking about? My kidney says no. The other 1 says never!
Dec 12, 2011 8:46 am
Only Audi can achieve such a difficult task as to make all its hatchbacks look identical, all its sedans look identical, all its SUVs identical, heck, even its sports cars look identical. Hail Audi, let's flock like sheep and all buy the same looking car.
Dec 12, 2011 8:47 am
If something works fine, don't change it. Though the styling looks predictable, this car will sell like hotcakes

Basketball star Yao Ming has been working overtime to raise the profile of the ugly reality of shark fin soup in China in conjunction with international organizations WildAid and Shark Savers.
Ming, a popular role model in China, is a driving force behind the Buy A Billboard Campaign in China. The campaign helps people from around the world purchase billboard space for US$100 (€70) and place an anti-shark fin soup advertisement in high profile locations in Chinese cities.
"This price includes production, installation, maintenance, and lighting for a full year. These ads are large, most are lighted, and they will be placed in many high-traffic locations in Beijing and Shanghai at eye-level," explains Shark Savers.
The Anti-Shark Fin Soup Campaign is having some great results. Last year, WildAid had 200 billboards in Beijing for 3 months. In a survey, 19% of residents remembered having seen the boards and 82% of those people said they would stop or reduce their consumption of shark fin soup.
The billboards are just one part of a multi-media and grassroots campaign that includes television public service announcements featuring Yao Ming, a web site and communication material in English and Chinese.
Shark fin soup is the primary reason why sharks are disappearing worldwide. Shark fin is a tasteless and non-nutritious ingredient of a popular soup served primarily at weddings and banquets within Asian communities for its traditional image of promoting health and prosperity and reflecting the status of the hosts. Unfortunately, the consumption of shark fin soup has skyrocketed in recent decades as China has become more prosperous.

On behalf of the authors of those parts of the IPCC report on the impacts of climate change that were criticised by Fred Pearce (27 February, p 8) may I reply to his points?
He describes our interpretation of Nigel Arnell's work on the impact of drought in Africa as "questionable", implying that we ignored findings that in some regions climate change will reduce water stress. We specifically sought Arnell's advice on this. He believes it is appropriate to use only the number of people exposed to increased water stress as the headline impact indicator. In fact, your story misrepresents Arnell's original paper, which did not give "equal prominence" to increased impact and reduced impact.
Nothing in your report undermines the IPCC's headline message that "agricultural production... in many African countries... is projected to be severely compromised by climate variability and change... In some countries, yields from rain-fed agriculture ...

Multi-lingual staff is employed to facilitate patient care in a language which is most comfortable to the patient.
The Imaging Department provides high quality diagnostic and interventional services. Our general diagnostic and medical imaging section provides a full range of diagnostic services from general x-ray to fluoroscopic and special procedures, along with computerized tomography (CT), mammography, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bone densitmetry to provide comprehensive diagnostic information.
Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center offers up to date imaging services promoting breast health. The Breast Imaging Service is accredited by The American College of Radiology and certified by the FDA/Illinois Division of Nuclear Safety, and is staffed by ARRT registered/Illinois State licensed mammographers. Screening/diagnostic mammograms and stereotactic breast biopsy procedures are offered. Stereotactic breast biopsy is a non-surgical alternative for some patients who require a breast biopsy.
All Radiology technologists are registered by The American Registry of Radiologic Technologist and licensed by the State of Illinois. Many staff hold additional certifications in imaging specialities.
Radiology and Imaging Services
- PET/CT Scans - The PET/CT scanner combines two powerful imaging technologies for extremely accurate diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases. The scanner provides unprecedented images that allow physicians to more accurately diagnose and stage cancer, acquire multiple dimensions of the heart, or diagnose Alzheimer's disease.
- Diagnostic Radiography (X-ray) - Routine X-ray procedures are used to study many areas of the body, including the extremities, spine, abdomen, chest and pelvis.
- Interventional Radiography - The majority of Interventional Radiography services are minimally invasive, non-surgical and can be performed on an outpatient basis.
- Bone Density (DEXA) Scanning - DEXA is a non-invasive procedure that measures bone mass in the spinal column and hip. This test is the most accurate way to diagnose osteoporosis and determine the risk for fractures.
- Mammography - A valuable diagnostic tool in the early detection of breast cancer. This state-of-the-art, low-dose X-ray identifies breast tumors before a woman feels a lump and is used during stereotactic breast biopsy procedures to identify and determine the precise location of suspicious breast tissue.
- Stereotactic Breast Biopsy - Removes tissue samples from the breast using a needle. The needle is guided by a computer-controlled system using visual coordinates taken from the mammogram. The examination requires only local anesthesia. In many instances, sterotactic breast biopsies avoid the need for surgery.
- Radiation Therapy - Radiation therapy is the use of high-dose X-rays to destroy cancer cells.
- Nuclear Medicine - Useful for visualizing specific organs within the body by injecting a radio-pharmaceutical agent into the blood stream. Procedures include heart perfusion, bone, liver, lung and gall bladder scans.
- Nuclear Cardiology - Nuclear Cardiology consists of two tests. Myocardial perfusion imaging examines the blood flow to the heart muscle and Dynamic studies measure the contractile (pumping) function of the heart muscle.
- Computerized Tomography (CT) - CT scans use X-rays and a computer to visualize the body. The scans produce two-dimensional images of the head, abdomen, pelvis, spine and other parts of the body. Some studies require the ingestion or injection of a dye for an accurate image of the scanned anatomy.
- Ultrasound - Ultrasound is a diagnostic technique in which very high frequency sound is directed into the body. The sound and resulting pattern of sound reflection is processed by a computer to produce a photograph or moving image on a screen.
- Vascular Ultrasound - Vascular Ultrasound evaluates the placement and success of repair to the heart such as after arterial bypass surgery. With ultrasound images, radiologists can locate and identify blockages (stenosis) and abnormalities such as blood clots, plaque or emboli. Vascular Ultrasound is also useful in measuring blood vessel and blood flow abnormalities in the head, extremities and abdomen.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - A powerful, advanced diagnostic tool that combines magnetic fields and radio waves with computer technology to create precise and detailed two-dimensional and three-dimensional images inside the body.
- Radiation Therapy - For patients with cancer, the state-of-the-art Varian 600C Linear Accelerator delivers accurate beams of radiation to target tumors with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Available treatments include external beam radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), brachytherapy (includes prostate seed therapy, low dose radiation therapy and Sr90 beta ray eye application)

While at Lollapalooza, Erykah Badu Reveals Details On... A New Jewelry Line? Sure.
Erykah Badu was in Chicago this past weekend, performing at Lollapalooza and donning a brand new, blonde mohawk to boot. While there, Billboard caught up with Ms. Badu for a little chat . And it's kind of a revealing one--not quite, say, "Window Seat" revealing , but, hey, they can't all be that close to the bone. Still, Badu was willing to touch on that topic in the above clip: "It was a shocking thing I did," she admits about halfway through the interview. But the point, as we already knew, was to get the word out on "groupthink."
More revealing than that news is this news: Badu's keeping up her recent uptick in video direction, and, as she tells Billboard, she'll also soon offer up a career-spanning documentary. And, beyond that, she'll also soon be debuting a new jewelry line--her first--called Funktional Art. Either in late August or early September, a few pieces will be made available for purchase at boutiques in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Paris and, of course, right here in Badu's hometown of Dallas. Said Badu to Billboard about the new venture:
"It's the beginning of a new thing for me," she says of the jewelry line. "I'm working with different designers to come up with things that fit me and fit the fans who support me and fit the women who feel free and can fly."
We've got calls into Badu's people to find out where the jewelry will be available for purchase, and we'll pass along that word soon as we get it.
Meanwhile, don't expect this to be the end of the line for Badu. In her closing quote with Billboard, Badu vows that she's just getting started:
"I am here to stay, a staple, a midwife. I feel like this is the beginning for me, so I don't know what's next."

Killer Industrial Jobs or Long-term Job Killers?Permalink +
Sun, Apr 06, 2014, 12:52 pm // Terry Wechsler
Carl Weimer recently posted a comment on facebook comparing the Comp Plan revision process (intended to keep us in compliance with the Growth Management Act) to watching paint dry. Sam Crawford saw Carl's analogy and raised him one. Crawford likened public engagement on "GMA stuff" to watching a 10-hour You Tube video of the Hitler character in Inglorious Bastards continuously saying, "Nein." Local activist planning wonks have probably already submitted their comments on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Comprehensive Plan 2016 revisions. For the general public, our opportunity to ask for an EIS at Cherry Point is now. The state had a chance to conduct that EIS when DNR developed the Aquatic Reserve Plan, but did not do it. Now, the county has the opportunity. Please submit a comment urging the county to conduct an area-wide EIS for the Cherry Point UGA. Comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. Monday, April 7, to firstname.lastname@example.com
A major element of the Comp Plan is the Cherry Point UGA. Currently, the Preliminary Growth Allocation Proposal states:
"Cherry Point shall be designated as an unincorporated industrial urban growth area in recognition of existing large scale industrial land uses. Additional large scale development shall be encouraged consistent with the ability to provide needed services and consistent with protecting critical areas along with other environmental protection considerations. The Cherry Point industrial area is an important and appropriate area for industry due to its access to deep water shipping, rail, all-weather roads, its location near the Canadian border, and its contribution to the County's goal of providing family wage jobs."
In other words, planning at Cherry Point is driven by the underlying assumption that "large scale development shall be encouraged … [because] Cherry Point … is an … appropriate area for industry…." But what has never occurred over the past 60 years is a full-blown study of whether industrial activity is actually consistent with a sensitive aquatic environment.
The history of Cherry Point, beginning with construction of the first pier in 1954 by Mobile Oil (then Tosco), has been remarkable. Starting with the passage of the Coastal Zone Management Act by the federal government in 1972, to development of the Cherry Point Environmental Aquatic Reserve Management Plan in 2010 – none of these policies has ever resulted in actual protection for the environment. Even the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) states in the Aquatic Reserve Management Plan, "existing industrial uses at Cherry Point are not incompatible with goals for the long-term protection of the aquatic resources within and adjacent to the aquatic reserve." The statement was made without benefit of any coordinated environmental analysis that considers all environmental elements including impacts on declining species of flora and fauna or historic and cultural tribal resources. DNR's compatibility finding is at odds with their conclusion that "[a]ddressing uncertainties related to species decline [at Cherry Point] is a priority." The Aquatic Reserve Plan is replete with descriptions of studies documenting those declines, most of which identify no causes and call for additional study.
What should be occurring is a joint effort by the federal, state, and local governments, in consultation with the tribes, to consider whether any industrial activity at Cherry Point is appropriate or compatible with protecting that area. Sixty years ago, it may have been appropriate to place all emphasis on geographic uniqueness, proximity to Canada, and ability to "contribut[e] to the County's goal of providing family wage jobs." But today, with Cherry Point supporting less than 10% of the county's industrial jobs, the impacts and permanent implications probably must replace economic benefit as chief priority.
We can't depend on Gateway Pacific Terminal's EIS alone to give us the information necessary to test the assumption that industrial activity is compatible with maintaining biological functions of the aquatic environment at Cherry Point, because it will almost certainly focus as narrowly as possible on that proposal's contribution in spite of the fact that the EIS should consider the cumulative effect of all past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future impacts. Project-specific EIS's, further, are discouraged as "piecemealing" because what results more often than full-blown EIS's are threshold determinations of nonsignificance, as occurred for both the BP Cherry Point and Conoco Phillips crude-by-rail infrastructure proposals.
Any effort to address the need for an area-wide EIS at Cherry Point would certainly meet with resistance and the current county council probably lacks the political will to demand such a study of PDS if the recent firestorm that erupted in response to the Lummi position on GPT is any indication. The Lummi Nation announced a strong position in opposition to the proposed coal terminal at Cherry Point in a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, citing impacts to usual and accustomed fishing rights. Public messaging by their Sovereignty and Treaty Protection Office, however, has focused on sacred grounds, and it was that issue which drew support from the faith community and resulted in a July 2013 resolution of the Whatcom Democrats which stated, in part, "We propose and support the rejection of all industrial, commercial and residential uses of the remaining natural lands and waters on and adjacent to Cherry Point."
Those 26 words became one of two major themes of the 2013 county council elections (the other being outside money), with "Pro Jobs"/"No Jobs" defining messaging against the Whatcom Wins slate of candidates. Not surprising were the letters to the editor of the Bellingham Herald, one of which described the resolution as "job killing." Delaine Clizbe, a co-founder of Save Whatcom, the conservative PAC organized to support Tea Party-endorsed candidates, went so far in her LTE as to claim the democratic candidates had endorsed it, which they had not. In fact, it passed with less than 40 votes, which when compared to the 44,000 county residents who voted for Barack Obama in the last presidential election, meant that their claims "the party" had passed the resolution strained credulity.
Ferndale Mayor Gary Jensen, a Democrat but one of the earliest public supporters of GPT (he is currently featured prominently on the terminal's main page), wrote an op ed before the election mischaracterizing the resolution as "opposing any and all business development at Cherry Point. After the election, representatives of developers and labor wrote an op ed bemoaning the amount of outside money donated to the Whatcom Wins campaign and insinuating any eventual "no" votes on GPT permits would be inconsistent with the science and prove the lie to the rejection of the resolution by democratic council candidates during campaign season. The Bellingham Herald ultimately gave the matter honorable mention as a "top story" of 2013, presumably because political writer Ralph Schwartz had mentioned it so many times, including here and here and here and here. The issue became such a hot potato, the Democratic party hid the resolution on their website, and old links to it lead to the slate instead.(A request was made to the party for active links but as of publication, they have not responded.)
Labor, of course, had "an extremely hard time swallowing what Mark Lowry described as a categorical rejection of absolutely every type of proposal at Cherry Point, which only makes sense in the context of the county's current Comp Plan estimate of employment growth capacity on remaining undeveloped land, which is 951 jobs according to the Preliminary Growth Allocation Proposal. That number, however, is based on outdated information in the Land Use chapter of the Comp Plan, which states the Cherry Point UGA, in addition to the proposed terminal, could support two additional industrial facilities comparable to Intalco and BP.
In actuality today, all remaining undeveloped land at Cherry Point is owned by Pacific International Terminals (PIT), the GPT proponent. PIT's permit application does not describe anything other than a terminal on their land because undeveloped land beyond the terminal footprint – or the trees on that land, to be precise – is supposedly an integral part of their dust suppression "system" designed to prevent fugitive coal dust from the proposed 6-story high/80-acre coal pile from reaching waters of the Salish Sea. The employment projections for GPT, further, are vastly less than 951. According to Table 4-3 of the permit application, there will be 201 jobs in seven years with full operational capacity of the coal terminal, and 213 jobs 5 years after that if the second other-commodities terminal were built.
Property rights proponents have long argued that limiting PIT's ability to develop the land they own at Cherry Point would constitute a taking, which is not true. Takings require loss of all economic benefit in the land, not mere diminution. Further, takings are legal. They simply require the public to reimburse the property owner the fair market value of the land. The Growth Management Hearings Board has already held, in Ostram v. Whatcom County, WWGMHB 05-2-0017, that economic development goals in the GMA, RCW 36.70A.020(5), do not mean project proponents may not be economically impacted. The Ostram Board said, "regulating the location of a specific business or business activity" in compliance with the GMA is not inconsistent with the economic development goals of the GMA merely because it "places [a project proponent] at an economically difficult, if not untenable, position. … [T]he economic development goal of the GMA is designed to promote the overall economic health of the state rather than the specific interests of an individual business." [Emphasis added.]
DNR has already stated in the Aquatic Reserve Plan that granting of a lease for a fourth pier at Cherry Point is not a given, nor is renewal of existing leases. Those determinations will be made on a case-by-case basis weighing impacts on the environment. Those determinations, however, must be fully informed by a comprehensive EIS. The county now has the opportunity to perform that EIS. Please ask the County Council to conduct an area-wide EIS for the Cherry Point UGA. And remember, comments must be submitted by 5 p.m. Monday, April 7, to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Wendy Harris // Sun, Apr 06, 2014, 10:33 pm
Terry, I know time is tight.. one day, but could you draft a short sample letter for the public that contains talking points?
Another crucial issue has to do with the scope of the review for a nonproject proposal, such as a comprehensive plan amendment. The county's position, which is supported by SEPA, is that only a large scale and general review is required at this point because the detailed review will occur on a site specific basis during the permitting stage. That is the problem.. SEPA and the County fail to recognize that certain issues, such as wildlife and habitat or water supply, can ONLY be reviewed at a landscape scale, and therefore, more detailed analysis is needed for this kind of information as part of the project EIS review.
Terry Wechsler // Mon, Apr 07, 2014, 9:33 am
Wendy, I don't harbor any illusions the county will do more than they are absolutely required to do, in spite of the fact that they could if they had the political will.
The key issue is that the underlying assumption of the Comp Plan—that industrial activity in the Cherry Point UGA is "appropriate"—was made without benefit of an EIS. Given the decline in environmental functioning (which is impacting tribal fishing rights) and impacts on sacred and historic areas, it is time, once and for all, to do an area-wide EIS because piecemealing with project-specific EIS's is resulting in MDNS's (as with BP and Conoco Phillips' rail infrastructure projects) without benefit of the type of cumulative impacts analysis necessary to get the studies required to determine why the herring and other species are declining so drastically there.
The employment projections for the UGA are likewise based on an underlying assumption it is "appropriate" for Cherry Point to absorb two additional industries of similar scale to Intalco and BP. That assumption is not based on science, and the GMA requires that planning not impair the benefits of an area to the state. Every act that has been passed relating to the shorelines of the state and/or to Cherry Point specifically refers to its importance for wildlife functions, yet the Comp Plan is driven by a 50-year-old assumption that exploiting it for economic benefit should drive zoning and permitting decisions.
If we would get an adequate review from, say, the GPT EIS, that studies WHY species are declining and what the relative contribution of existing industries is, and how the proposal would contribute to that decline, it would be one thing. But the reality is that we won't. I actually believe the county should put into abeyance revisions of the comp plan land use chapter and Planning Policy E-3 until we have the final EIS for the GPT proposal. If it provides all the information necessary to support the assumption industrial activity at Cherry Point is appropriate, then the county can go about establishing employment projections based on information about how much industrial expansion in the Cherry Point UGA is appropriate for the environment.
Tip Johnson // Mon, Apr 07, 2014, 9:02 pm
Three industrial permits written for Cherry Point by our trusted environmental regulators destroyed MORE THAN HALF THE HERRING PRODUCTION OF ALL OF PUGET SOUND!!!!!
That's unacceptable.
Restore the herring BEFORE PERMITTING ANY MORE POLLUTION AT CHERRY POINT!!
It's not rocket science. It's the food chain. Duh.

Who Must Win Jobs v. Environment Debate in Whatcom County?
A Letter to Our Fellow Citizens,
From John Huntley (Mills Electric) and Brad Owens (NW Washington Building & Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO); Co-Chairs of the Northwest Jobs Alliance
Hardly a day passes when there isn't a news item describing the need for more and better jobs and a better environment, but the context too often seems to pit one against the other as if in a battle between good and evil. This is a false proposition, because a good quality of life requires both.
To promote reasoned, fact-based discussion of economic and job development prospects in Whatcom County, a few years ago business and labor leaders jointly formed the Northwest Jobs Alliance.
NWJA Logo
Our mission:
Promote the growth of family-wage jobs in the context of sound environmental practice
In other words, we seek "Balanced Community Solutions."
Also in the past few years, there have been very strident and aggressive advocates of de-industrializing our economy, even threatening the high-wage jobs at the existing Cherry Point industries (which include two oil refineries and an aluminum smelter), to say nothing of the prospect of new industrial job growth.)
Here is an example of what these community activists are saying:
"...it is time to assess our Whatcom County industrial 'good neighbors and corporate citizens' with a more critical eye…"
"What should be occurring is a joint effort by the federal, state, and local governments, in consultation with the tribes, to consider whether any industrial activity at Cherry Point is appropriate or compatible with protecting that area."
Activist Lawyer Terry Wechsler, April 21 and 6, 2014 on NWCitizen.com
The livelihoods of thousands of families are at stake as well as future generations to come. Without the Cherry Point industrial job base, which was the result of decades of careful thought and planning, our community's economy and family income levels would be significantly weakened. And our schools and local cities would suffer from a decimated tax base and diminished services, along with an increased shift of the tax burden to homeowners. (Industry now carries much of the tax load.)
We reject the thinking that we can't have both economic prosperity and environmental quality. We must have both.
If you share our belief in striving for balance and would like to support Cherry Point jobs as part of the Northwest Jobs Alliance, please send your name and contact information to:

WWE & TNA Underused Talent Episode #2
by, 07-25-2011 at 07:19 AM (5782 Views)
So about 3 days ago I posted episode #1 of this blog series.
I've heard some nice comments so I guess I'll keep'em coming
Now allow me to remind everyone : Every episode I talk about 2 Underused Talents (WWE or TNA or Both). So without further adu let's meet our Underused Talents of the day
Drew McIntyre :
The sinister Scottsman, the man that was mentioned in about every comment I had in the last Episode, this guy has got the looks, this guy has got the skills to make it in my humble opinion, he also has the mic skills (Yes some people argue that his accent makes his promos "bad" but I for one am impressed with his promos and if we're gonna talk accents let's talk Booker T, Sheamus & so on).
Anyway, not only did McIntyre have all that, but he had the PERFECT gimmick. The Chosen One, Mr.McMahon's superstar, the man Mr.McMahon signed personally and predicted he'd be world champion. As Drew McIntyre was getting his start on Friday Night SmackDown, WWE tried to do what they do with young stars, push them to the moon for no obvious reason (I remember some time back nobody could stand Sheamus for this same reason). Anyway, as we can all guess, that didn't work out, so WWE, I guess, thought "that guy can't draw".
Robert "Bobby" Roode :
Now this man needs no introduction for TNA fans, but for those that don't watch TNA, look for a guy that has a good physique, great wrestling skills, when he talks on the mic you can't help but listen and you'll find him.
One half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions, and as I guess it's obvious one of my favorite wrestlers to watch in TNA, now some might say "One half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions ? How can that be underused" Allow me to answer, Robert Roode has been in the Beer Money tag team for the past (I think) 3 to 4 years, and before that he was in Team Canada, he had a brief run as a singles wrestler but then his opportunity was taken away for reasons I do not comprehend.
Now don't get me wrong Tag Team wrestling is great and I am one of the biggest fans of tag team wrestling, but being a successful tag team wrestler is not as a big as being a successful singles wrestler.
Robert Roode, like McIntyre, has the gimmick, the looks, the skills and the mic skills, I wouldn't say he as well is a case of booking gone wrong but rather of "Playing It Safe".
Thankfully lately Robert Roode has been getting some TV time and matches on his own, I most certainly hope that they don't break up the Beer Money tag team now, it's not the appropriate time at all, Sabin being out with an injury eliminates the Motor City Machine Guns tag team and Generation Me just left after Destiantion X, so Beer Money is basically TNA's superior tag team till they hire other tag teams and till Sabin returns (Which won't happen before 2012)
In time Robert Roode will get the push he deserves, I think even a blind man can see the potential in this man.
So that's it for today.
Hope you had a good read and as always comments and opinions are very appreciated
Thank you for your time and see ya in Episode #3

ONE of the problems with the global financial crisis is that the sums of money being discussed are so huge it is difficult to get one's head round them. Attempts by the media to help us conceptualise the figures don't always make it any easier.
Take a blog entry entitled "How much is 700 billion?" by Zephyr Teachout on TechPresident.com. It aims to give explanatory equivalents of the amount of money pumped into Wall Street in the US government's financial bailout earlier this month. Josh Frank, who alerted us to this, asks if it is really helpful to be told that: "It is almost 3 billion nonrefundable bus fares from Durham [North Carolina] to San Francisco, leaving tomorrow."
The answer is no, it isn't very helpful. Even the relatively small number of people who have taken this trip and know the cost ...

Ed Chamberlin
Sky Sports Presenter & Columnist @skysports_ed
Ed Chamberlin tips up Chicago Grey to take Saturday's Grand National at Aintree
Ed Chamberlin offers Sky Sports readers a horse-by-horse guide to Saturday's Grand National.
Last Updated: 02/04/13 2:12pm
* - Neigh chance
** - Bray for a miracle
*** - Hedge your bets
**** - Jumping for joy
***** - Chamberlin's chasers
1. Imperial Commander - Given a chance by the handicapper but still a big task and bounce factor is a big concern. His record on his second runs of the season is terrible **
2. What A Friend - Has always been tough to win with and not the force of old *
3. Weird Al - In similar form to Fernando Torres *
4. Quel Esprit - Missed Cheltenham and the Irish National for this. A Grade One winner but his jumping worries me **
5. Big Fella Thanks - More chance of Gary Neville staying the London Marathon trip than him lasting home on Saturday *
6. Roberto Goldback - Has failed to build on his impressive win at Ascot in the autumn **
7. Seabass - Would be a great story if he and Katie Walsh could win. Looks set to go well again and quicker ground plus shorter course will help him stay. However, had no excuse when beaten last year and looks to have a tougher task this time ***
8. Ballabriggs - Great to see him back. Sure to run well and get round but fact remains that since 1899 only Red Rum and Reynoldstown have regained their title **
9. Sunnyhillboy - Brilliant last year but 10lb rise and interrupted preparation this year puts me off **
10. Teaforthree - He attacks his fences like the Sporting Life's editor attacks the canteen servery. His eyes will light up at the sight of the Aintree fences and I think he will relish the test. Should give you a great run for your money ***
11. Across The Bay - Won well after a wind operation at Haydock. Would ideally like softer ground but is a tough and lively outsider ***
12. Join Together - A sure-fire stayer but slower than Michael Shinners. Stats against a horse of this age and may struggle to live with the pace on decent ground **
13. Colbert Station - Lacks experience but his trainer is a master in this race and I know AP was really impressed with him at Leopardstown at Christmas. I'm also convinced that with the modified fences and softer cores this won't be such a demanding test of jumping. Smooth traveller and on the upgrade. The worry is his best form on softer ground ***
14. Forpadytheplasterer - Grand servant but don't think this test suits him **
15. On His Own - Was travelling like the winner before desperately unlucky when squeezed up by Shakalakaboomboom and a loose horse at Bechers last year. My one concern is that he want to get as far back early on as he did last year but hard to find other negatives bar the very short price *****
16. Joncol - Has not won since November 2011 and never achieved what he promised to do **
17. Balthazar King - The ground has come right for him and he goes well fresh. Has missed the winter to be prepared for this. Tough and consistent. Great each-way chance ****
18. Cappa Bleu - Well fancied by some good judges but watching back last year's race, his low jumping worries me ***
19. Oscar Time - Has badly lost his way since that brilliant performance two years ago *
20. Always Waining - Wonderful record round here but doubtful stayer **
21. Quinz - Encouraging return at Kempton but hard to assess. Broke blood vessels in 2011 Grand National **
22. Tatenen - Unusual prep race in the Grand Annual! Would need roller skates to stay this trip **
23. Treacle - Just like Sky Bet's PR guru Dale Tempest. He's too old
24. Lost Glory - Hasn't run since October but is a lively outsider as he's on the upgrade over fences and will enjoy the drying ground. His trainer is a master with a horse like this. Each-way chance ****
25. Saint Are - Built for the job and won well here last season but hasn't lived up to expectations this season and throws in some alarming leaps **
26. Swing Bill - Too high in the handicap to win but does love these fences **
27. Chicago Grey - Revived by a mid-season wind operation and a fascinating contender for shrewd connections, who are in brilliant form. Has dropped to an attractive mark and I love backing a Paul Carberry ridden horse in the National. Will get behind on first circuit but creep in to contention. Massive chance *****
28. Quiscover Fontaine - was still going well when falling at the seventeenth fence last year. Interesting ***
29. Becauseicouldntsee - had a tough race at Cheltenham and has not won since the old king died **
30. Harry The Viking - Finally has his ground, which might revive him, but hasn't looked in top form yet this season**
31. Rare Bob - Ran an eye-catching trial in the Leinster National. Clearly in decent form and stays the trip ***
32. The Rainbow Hunter - In good form, brave and stays well. But will need to improve his jumping ***
33. Mr Moonshine - Inconsistent but is a sound jumper who could run well without troubling the principles **
34. Mumbles Head - Unlike Scarlett Johansson, impossible to fancy *
35. Pearlysteps - Talented but his jumping tends to go to pieces **
36. Auroras Encore - Has shown nothing since second in Scottish National *
37. Ninetieth Minute - Love the name but not his chance **
38. Tarquinius - One of the more interesting outsiders but was disappointing last time **
39. Any Currency - Looks an impossible task *
40. Poker De Sivola - One of the more interesting ones with no weight. Stays the trip and will love the ground but absent since the Becher Chase ***
Winner: Chicago Grey
2nd: On His Own
3rd: Balthazar King
4th: Lost Glory

The other day it came on again when I was slowing down in traffic and it stalled when I came to a stop. It did start up again but did this a total of 4 times during my drive. I had the battery checked and they said it was good. I also had the alternator tested and it showed that it was good as well. Is there anything else that could be causing this problem?

You could have a alternator that charges at times and other times it may not be charging. Did you take you car to a shop or parts store for the test?
Replyhollywood7170, May 23, 2012, 07:31Rookie
I took it to a parts store/shop.
Replymilesauto, May 23, 2012, 08:18Master
Lots of parts stores do (free)test...but you have to understand they are not trained technicians so the value of the test could be in question. See it all too often when folks finally come here to find out what is wrong with their car after trying all the parts a parts store suggested to fix a problem that did not do the job.
Replyhollywood7170, May 23, 2012, 08:27Rookie
Thank for your help. I guess I need to take it to a shop then. Now I just need to figure out which one isnt gonna take advantage of me being a woman customer.
Replymilesauto, May 23, 2012, 08:38Master
Suggest you get recommendations from friends or coworkers of a good shop in your area. I highly suspect the alternator is the problem with your car. The "repair pal" site has a estimator feature that works well in estimating common repairs. That button is at the top of this page. It will give the high and low range for your repair.

Learn more about Matrix:
|Perception: Our day-in, day-out world is real.
Reality: That world is a hoax, an elaborate deception spun by all-powerful machines of artificial intelligence that control us.
Mind-warp stunts, techno-slammin' visuals, mega-kick action. Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne lead the flight to free humankind in The Matrix, the see-and-see-again cyberthriller written and directed by The Wachowski Brothers (Bound). The story sears, the special effects stake out new moviemaking territory -- the movie flat-out rocks.
"This wildly imaginative thriller is a futuristic head trip you most definitely want to take. Cody Clark, Mr. Showbiz
"...a furious special-effects tornado... Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"...intelligible, intelligent, and suspenseful... Keith Phipps, The Onion A.V. Club
"...combines traditional science-fiction premises with spanking new visual technology in a way that almost defies description. Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"...a great soundtrack and the best fight choreography this side of Hong Kong...very cool s***. Manohla Dargis, L.A. Weekly
"...slams you back in your chair, pops open your eyes and leaves your jaw hanging slack in amazement. Shawn Levy, Portland Oregonian
Editor's NoteWith THE MATRIX, the Wachowskis have established themselves as innovative filmmakers who push the boundaries of live-action films. Like the groundbreaking STAR WARS, THE MATRIX (also the first film of a trilogy) showcases a unique visual style, one the Wachowskis achieved through an array of techniques and digital effects, some never before seen in mainstream Hollywood films. Although computer morphing technology had been used before in films such as THE ABYSS and TERMINATOR 2, the Wachowskis were the first to use "bullet time," a time-bending digital effect that utilizes both computer-generated imagery and still photography. The film itself is a complex story that aspires to mythology, focusing on a computer hacker named Neo (Keanu Reeves) who searches for the truth behind the mysterious force known as the Matrix. He finds his answer with a group of strangers led by the charismatic Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne). What they encounter in confronting that truth makes for a lightning-paced, eye-popping thrill ride of a movie. Packed with stunning fight scenes (choreographed by accomplished Hong Kong director Yuen Wo-Ping), astonishing visual effects, quotable lines, and a terrific supporting cast (led by Carrie-Anne Moss, in her first major Hollywood film), THE MATRIX is a bold triumph that raises the bar for all science fiction films.

When this movie was released I was about 10 years old. When it finishe I said, Whenever I get my first job I will have it as a part of my collection. This is a movie that you can watch over and over again without getting bored because of the history and the incredible final which I love. Lawrence is the Best!

Glee Season 4: [Spoiler] Is Texting [Spoiler] to Get Back Together — But It's Not Working!
It sounds like Blaine (Darren Criss) will be trying everything he can to get Kurt (Chris Colfer) to take him back when Glee returns next week. Whether it will actually work is, well, another story.
When we last saw Kurt and Blaine on Glee during Season 4, Episode 4 "The Break-Up" (which feels like roughly 30 years ago at this point — this hiatus is killing us!), Blaine bought a seriously amazing bouquet of flowers to try to get Kurt to talk to him again. However, not even flowers won Kurt over — which is how you know it's serious! Looks like it's time for Plan B.
When the show returns, we'll see that Blaine is sending Kurt a slew of texts in effort to open up communication again, according to TV Line. That sounds like a good sign, right? Er, not so fast.
"Kurt keeps ignoring those texts," TV Line reveals. Gah — we're sobbing! And now we need to put up one of those "Caution — Wet Floor" signs, as our sudden deluge of tears seems to be creating a safety hazard.
Wow! We were really hoping for some shred of good Klaine news as we get closer to Glee's return from the hiatus, but it's sounding like that's not gonna happen. Maybe one of those texts will manage to convince Kurt to hear him out? We can only hope.
And in other news, TV Line also reveals that Finn (Cory Monteith) is going to be utterly clueless about how to run a choir when he takes over as head of New Directions for Schue (Matthew Morrison). Finn will be preparing them for Sectionals but "doesn't know what he's doing," says producer Brad Falchuk. Don't worry, Finn — we have complete faith a fair amount of faith in you!
