Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.

MPAA Rating: PG-13
Somber drama chronicling the life of Astrid (Alison Lohman), a young teenager who's struggling to come to
terms with living without a stable, loving family. Astrid is forced through a series of foster homes after her mother (Michelle Pfeiffer)
goes to prison for committing a crime of passion. Also with Patrick Fugit, Noah Wyle and Robin Wright. [1:49]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - We hear a woman moaning and banging on a wall suggesting that she and a man are having sex. A man in a robe
opens a door and a woman goes into the house: it is implied that the man and woman have sex but nothing is shown. We see a couple making
out in the background in a party scene. A man and woman kiss and hug, and a teenage boy and girl kiss and hug a few times. An older man
touches a teenage girl's face tenderly (it is suggested that they had sex, but we see nothing else). A woman and two teenage girls are
shown in a dressing room in their underwear (the woman wears a thong) exposing cleavage, bare abdomens and buttocks. A woman wears
skin-tight outfits that reveal cleavage, her bare back and shoulders in many scenes. A woman wears a leather halter-top (revealing
cleavage and bare abdomen) and a mini-skirt (revealing thighs). A woman wears a slinky negligee, a woman wears an oversized shirt that is
unbuttoned to show cleavage and her bare abdomen, and a teenage girl wears tank tops that reveal cleavage. A man is shown bare-chested.
There is some sexual innuendo: A woman talks about having been an exotic dancer, a woman accuses a teenage girl of trying to take away the
man in her life, a teenage daughter asks her mother if a man spent the night, and a woman says a man is "getting what he wants from
somebody else." A woman tells her daughter that she and a man had sex, a woman says that her daughter is "hormonal," a woman says she's
busy "fighting off sexual advances" in prison, and a woman tells her teenage daughter that the relationship she had with her father was a
"sexual" one.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A woman threatens a teenage girl with a gun, then shoots her in the shoulder; we see blood on her
shirtsleeve and see a scar in later scenes. A man pounds on a window breaking it (while yelling that he is going to kill the woman inside)
and a woman opens a switchblade knife and cuts his hand (we see this scene a few times and we see some blood on the man's hand). A teenage girl
puts a knife to the throat of another girl and threatens her. Two teenage girls fight with shoving, yelling and name-calling (one ends up
with a bruised eye and a split lip). A teenage girl finds a woman dead from an overdose, she tries to revive her and screams and yells in
anger. A woman tells her teenage daughter that she "wanted to throw her against a wall." Loud pounding awakens a girl who sees her mother
struggling against police who take her away. A woman yells at her daughter abusively, tries to hit her and the daughter threatens her
mother. Men and woman argue bitterly in many scenes. A woman has a bruised eye and cheek apparently from a beating in prison. A movie on
TV shows a woman being killed by a man with a chainsaw (it cuts away just before we see anything). A teenage boy talks about having been
born addicted to heroin. A teenage girl cuts her hair with a knife. A woman says, "tell him I was killed..." We see fires
burning in the mountains near homes.
PROFANITY 5 - 1 F-word, 5 sexual references (1 in Spanish, not translated), 3 scatological terms, 4 anatomical terms, 6 mild
obscenities, 3 religious profanities, 6 religious exclamations. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Premeditated murder, beauty, rejection, infidelity, paranoia, loneliness, sacrifice, dysfunctional
relationships, redemption, teenage pregnancy, cynicism, Children's Services and foster care, hypocrisy, jealousy.
MESSAGE - It's better to know what is true than to believe in what feels good. Don't forget who you are.
(Note: People are shown smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. It is suggested that one character has a drinking problem and has
had a drug problem. A character yells at her daughter for accepting Christianity and her daughter tells her that "thinking for yourself is
evil." A foster child is shown pregnant and we hear that she has had two other babies.)

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.

Presentations from Ports-to-Plains Alliance Energy Summit: April 20, 2012
Ports-to-Plains Alliance Energy Summit
April 20, 2012
Washington, DC
Electricity and the Economy
Description: There is not a sector of the economy that is not affected by the cost and availability of electricity. Renewable energy is providing many of our rural communities in the Ports-to-Plains region an economic shot in the arm as well as creating a growing manufacturing sector across the region. At the same time coal provides the majority of electricity in the nation while creating rural jobs. How can we create an electric future that supports the economy and the consumer?
- Renewable Energy Production Tax Credits and Rural Communities
- PTC = Jobs
- John L. Cohen, Vice President, Government Affairs, Alstom, Inc.
- Electricity and the Economy: A Co-Op's Perspective
- Rick Gordon, Chairman, Tri-State Generation & Transmission
Electricity and the Economy: A Co-Op's Perspective
Energy and Transportation
Description: The Ports-to-Plains Alliance Corridors create the backbone transportation corridor for North America's Energy Corridor. With domestic energy production booming in the region, the stresses on the rural transportation system is also booming at a time when transportation funding is slowing. What are the opportunities to address economic opportunity with a transportation system that is safe and reliable?

Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes separated earlier this year: Could we have seen it coming?
While looking absolutely beautiful at the Oscars earlier this month, Kate Winslet did look thinner than usual as she walked the red carpet alone. Now we learn that after seven years of marriage, she and American Beauty director Sam Mendes are divorcing. So sad!
The couple first met in 2001 to collaborate on a theater project, marrying in relative secrecy two years later in the West Indies with only three guests in attendance. Their last professional collaboration was 2008's Golden Globe-winning Revolutionary Road, where Mendes directed Winslet as an unhappy wife in a dysfunctional suburban family.
Perhaps the tea leaves had already divined the couple's fortune by then: During her 2009 Golden Globes acceptance speech for Best Actress she gushed over her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio while forgetting to mention her husband AND director of the film. Double whammy!
"Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year," their lawyers' statement reads. "The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children."
The Oscar-winning couple, who wed in 2003, have a six-year-old son, Joe Alfie Winslet Mendes. Winslet also has a nine-year-old daughter, Mia Honey, with director and ex-husband Jim Threapleton. Mendes directed Winslet's Golden Globe-winning performance in 2008's Revolutionary Road. [Source: EW]
With the pressure on for Bar Refaeli to dump DiCaprio for a nice Jewish boy, perhaps the time has arrived for a celebrity coupling of Titanic proportions.

Paulo Roberto Falcao says Roma's complaints over the reasons behind Mattia Destro's suspension do not compare to the 1981 incident with Maurizio Turone.
Destro has been handed a three-game ban for an off-the-ball clash with Cagliari's Davide Astori, with the use of video evidence, much to the Giallorossi's complaints.
Whilst the young striker was in strong form, the Lupi's former Brazilian star has rejected the suggestion that reasons behind banning him for this crucial period of the season can compare to a previous controversy when Roma were once more up against Juve in the title race.
During the 1980-81 season, Falcao's teammate Maurizio Turone incorrectly saw a goal ruled out for an offside call. With the match ending 0-0 and two games of the season left, the Bianconeri maintained a one-point lead over second place Roma to win the League that year.
"The rivalry between Roma and Juventus was born in the 1980s, when I was playing for Roma," Falcao has reflected to ANSA.
"What triggered it was the goal unjustly ruled out for Turone.
"But, you cannot compare Destro's suspension to that, they are in two completely different contexts.
"The championship is pretty much decided, but Roma has a duty to continue to believe in it, because they are a very strong team.
"Juventus are a club with a great tradition, just like Roma."

The Chevrolet Chevelle was a mid-sized automobile that was produced for 3 generations by the Chevrolet department of General Motors from 1964 to 1977. The 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle was the last Chevelle of the very first generation (1964-1967). It did not take wish for the Chevelle to become popular and by 1967 it was a household name. Throughout the 1967 production year, Chevrolet would offer virtually 65,000 Chevelle SS 396's.
1967 Chevy Chevelle For Sale in Manilla IA 51454
Designed and built to contend versus the Ford Fairlane, the Chevy Chevelle quickly became on of Chevrolet's most effective nameplates. With the addition of the SS (Super Sport) design, Chevrolet now had a vehicle worthy of "muscle car" status.
Little Tweaks For The 1967 Model
The 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle only had small changes from its 1966 predecessor. New chrome bars were added to the front grille. There were likewise some styling tweaks that offered the Chevelle a leaner and longer appearance, giving it more "appropriate" appearance. The rear end added huge taillamps to accompany the standard backup lights. Visibly, the tweaks to the '67 Chevy Chevelle were modest.
The '67 Chevrolet Chevelle did have a new dual master cylinder brake system which included a caution light and all models had front disc brakes.
Great deals of Options With The '67 Chevelle
When a buyer had an interest in buying a 1967 Chevelle, they frequently had great deals of options and options. It often made it a tough job to choose the best Chevelle for them. First there was the engine choice. The base model had a V-8 with 325 horsepower. There was likewise an Super Sport or SS variation of '67 Chevelle which offered a 350 horsepower 396 ci V-8.
If the buyer went the SS path, they would have an exclusive grille design, rocker moldings that were gray-toned, bright wheel well moldings and a domed hood with dummy air intake slots. There was also "Quick-Size" variation of the SS 396 which came as a sport coupe or a convertible. These were marketed as "the car for the Driving Man". There was a Chevelle Station Wagon available as for purchase also.
After the engine choice, the purchaser would need to pick from no less than 6 transmissions that were available for the 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle.
These included two three-speed transmissions, a four-speed variation, 2 automatic transmissions and an overdrive transmission. Some other options available for the '67 Chevelle consisted of Strato-ease headrests, Superlift air shock absorbers and special instrumentation.

Herald Reporters
Some boarders were left stranded at their pick-up points in Harare yesterday ahead of the opening of the 2016 First Term today as school authorities denied them access to school buses over failure to pay fees.
This came as Government reiterated yesterday that no pupil should be turned away for failure to pay school fees and that the moratorium on fees increases still stood.
A survey by The Herald showed that schools like Bradley Institute, Mazowe Boys High, Howard High all in Mashonaland Central, St Benedict's High in Mashonaland East and Mawuya Adventist School in Mashonaland West were barring students from boarding buses without paying at least half the fees.
Father Simbarashe Mafanise from St Benedicts High School said parents needed to play their part and pay at least half of the fees.
"Initially, we wanted parents to pay full fees, but since things are not okay for them we have given room for payment of half the fees," he said.
"We understand that parents are facing financial problems, but they need to understand as well that they are sending their children to a boarding school. What do they expect their children to eat when they send them to school without any fees?"
Some of parents with pupils who had been denied access to the buses said they were facing a tough situation, but wanted their children to go to school at the same time with others.
Parents with children at Nyazura Adventist High School said the terms were favourable as they were made to pay at least 70 percent of the fees.
Pupils at Mutendi High School in Masvingo were allowed access into the buses even without paying the school fees.
The school's transport coordinator Mr Joseph Mufigo said parents were still expected to clear their dues.
The city centre was a hive of activity yesterday as some parents made last minute purchasing of school uniforms and stationery.
Primary and Secondary Eduction spokesperson Mr Patrick Zumbo said yesterday that no child should be sent home for non-payment of fees.
"It is the right of the child to engage in lessons even without paying the required amount of fees and as we have always said, schools have no right to send children away over non-payment of fees," Mr Zumbo said.
"The issue of levies and payment of fees is for the parent and the contract to supply education services is between the parent and the SDC (school development committee) or the parent and Government, so no child ought to be disturbed during lessons."

TV-RADIO NOTEBOOK: Puck may stop here for ex-voice of Aeros
Published 5:30 am, Friday, August 10, 2007
Ken Double, the only play-by-play voice in Houston, to my knowledge, who could perform the national anthem and then call the action afterward with comparable efficiency, has worked his last game for the Houston Aeros.
Double, 54, said Thursday the Aeros have "decided to go in a different direction" and informed him by e-mail a few weeks ago that his services would not be needed for next season.
His seven years in Houston represented his longest stint with the same team in a career that has included basketball and hockey jobs in Indianapolis and Atlanta.
"I'm not going to another minor league hockey job, and this has me thinking about turning the page (on broadcasting)," he said. "There aren't a lot of NHL opportunities. I've come close a few times, but it may be time to give this up."
Double intends to remain in Houston while pursuing his side job, performing pipe organ concerts at theaters around the country, and also has talked with local stations about television work.
He also is a partner with bandleader and radio announcer Ronnie Renfrow in a company called Great Radio Houston, which airs a show on KIKK (650 AM).
Double will have a lasting place in Houston broadcast history for, among other things, working solo on a 6 1/2 -hour, four-overtime playoff game between the Aeros and Hamilton Bulldogs in 2003
"I've enjoyed the time in Houston. It's second only to Indianapolis, where home is," he said. "I got to call a championship here, in Indianapolis and in Atlanta. A lot of people never get that opportunity."
An Aeros spokesman said the team, which likely will return this fall to KNTH (1070 AM), hopes to name Double's successor soon, adding, "The Aeros would like to thank Ken Double for his hard work and dedication to the organization for the past seven seasons. We wish him luck in his future endeavors."
Hamilton on homer callAstros radio voice Milo Hamilton gave a thumbs-up to Duane Kuiper 's television call of Barry Bonds ' 756th home run but was less enthusiastic regarding Jon Miller 's call on the Giants radio network.
"The best was Kuiper," Hamilton said. "I thought Jon Miller played it too straight. He didn't separate himself from being the Sunday night ESPN announcer. I felt Kuiper sounded like he was coming onto the field. He put it where it was."
Hamilton, who called Hank Aaron's 715th homer on Braves radio in 1974, said he thought Aaron's taped message congratulating Bonds was one of the best moments of the evening.
"He (Aaron) said all the right things," Hamilton said. "And, I think, Bonds finally realized that Aaron appreciated what he had done. I think Aaron did the right thing by not being there. If he had followed (Bonds) around for three weeks, he would have split the (attention) and been answering the same old questions."

Local filmmaker, Johnny Pears, has created a big impact short film on anxiety and mental health, which recently aired on Made in Tyne and Wear.
The documentary is called The Boy Who Panicked, all self filmed via self taught methods, and featuring music he wrote and recorded. You can view it here https://vimeo.com/113611316
Johnny who himself suffers from anxiety and depression said:
"The idea behind 'The Boy Who Panicked' was to try and encapsulate the experience I had coping with crippling anxiety and depression. To try and capture those dark days when I thought there was no way out. I felt the best/only way to achieve this was in an artistic manner, not just doing some run of the mill A to B constricted interview with me and others sat plonked in front of a camera."
"I wanted it to ebb and flow and make viewers want to watch, draw them into it and basically to get inside my head and see the world through my eyes. Lastly I wanted it to help anyone who can relate to it, who may also find themselves struggling with mental issues and let them know that their not alone. All filmed around the North East with music from my band Veldt as an original soundtrack."
Johnny has recently managed his first on stage performance with his new band Veldt at The Star Inn in Newcastle, and slowly but surely managing to overcome some of his mental health issues. He's quite impassioned about the complexities of mental health and the negative connotations associated with these, when in fact the issues he has can and do happen to just about anyone, regardless of age, race, demographic etc. This comes across very succinctly in the film in a beautiful and thought provoking way.
The film features multiple locations such as Tyne Tunnel, South Shields Beach, Newcastle City Centre.
Johnny has a dream to get the film commissioned into a long form documentary. If you would like to help with please email firstname.lastname@example.com

Hunters accustomed to applying for limited-quota big game licenses with paper applications by mail or in-person have until 5 p.m. May 15 to submit applications to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's Cheyenne headquarters.
For many years, whether the application was submitted on paper or online, the deadline for resident elk, deer, and antelope limited-quota licenses has been May 31. In recent years, more than 90 percent of both resident and nonresident hunters have applied through the Game and Fish website, wgfd.wyo.gov. This has resulted in substantial savings, increased accuracy, and more timely drawings for the application process.
Hunters will still have until May 31 to apply online. Game and Fish has been accepting resident online applications for elk, deer, and antelope since Jan. 1. The paper application period is May 1-15.
The paperless application process represents another way Game and Fish is improving service to Wyoming hunters through technology. License draw coordinator Milissa Raner said that in addition to the online application process, this year was the first year application booklets were only available online.
"Hunters have adapted very well to online applications and application booklets," Raner said. "In fact, in the recently completed drawings for nonresident elk, applications actually increased over the previous year."
The online application booklet has saved postage and processing costs. "Once the online process for applying for licenses is fully implemented, it should allow us to get the drawings done earlier as well." Raner said.
To prepare hunters for the new paper application deadline, hunters who submitted only paper applications the previous year received mailings informing them of the new paper application deadline. This year, Game and Fish will attempt to notify hunters who submit their paper applications after the May 15 paper application deadline, that they may apply online until the May 31 deadline.

I'm experiencing a peculiar network issue. After upgrading Arch (pacman -Su), connectivity on port 80 and 21 is only possible at my office. I've got no connectivity neither at home nor at my parents' home. In both cases, Internet access is set up with an identical DSL modem configed as a router with all boxes connected to a 100Mb ethernet switch. I'm able to ping using DNS names- so it ain't a name resolution or basic connectivity problem. All windows boxes on both networks have no problems accessing the internet whatsoever.
Can you post the results of ifconfig, route and mii-tool (this one has to be run as root).
As I'm unable to access the network and my usb key just died, I'm typing up the requested commands output manually...
mii-tool -v:

All boxes are connected to a 100Mb ethernet switch. My router's IP address is 192.168.1.254
Thanks in advance,
OK. mii-tool shows that the physical layer is connecting and ifconfig "says" that your card is up and taking an address.
The router command returns 192.168.1.254, and although the address is a bit untraditional for the router, is in concordance with the address of your router.
So, nothing wrong there.
What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf?
Can you post the output of :
su -c 'hwd -e' and also lsmod ?
And by the way, is there any firewall active in that network?
Problem solved!!!
Seems like it was a kernel bug. Adding net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0 to /etc/sysctl.conf solved the problem.
Thanks for all your help,
Glad you figured it out!

Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
This watch is fantastic - its a real shame that the colour in the picture is nothing like the colour of the actual item. The colour in the picture is lime green and the watch that gets sent to you is a rather boring dark green.
Rather a shame that Ill have to return it for this reason as I really love the design.
Rating: Very good (4 / 5)
Really stylish, unusual design. Everyone comments on the fact that there are no crowns on the side to make adjustments, but the absence of a crown means a streamlined design. How do you control/adjust the watch? Touch sensitive screen, thats how - works very well. Getting to look at the date is a bit diddly at first, but you soon get used to it. Watch also has an alarm, stopwatch and timer - all controllable from the touch sensitive screen.
Largest number on screen is seconds - so it is always in motion. Would like alternative fonts so that minutes and hours are more easily readable, but not a huge problem.

text: Palace on Wheels Offers Unique India Experience June 11, 2011 Visitors can go travel back in history aboard Palace on Wheels in India By: Norman Sklarewitz Asia / Pacific A friendly staff attends to the needs of passengers. // © 2011 palace on wheels Web Exclusive For more details on booking a Palace On Wheels trip, visit this story online at TravelAgeWest.com/PalaceOnWheels The Details www.palaceonwheels.net It wasn't too long ago that the maharajahs of Rajasthan state, in Western India, could afford just about anything they wanted — from multiple wives, supplemented by comely concubines, to luxurious palaces spread across their kingdoms. Around the turn of the 19th century, the toy of the moment among the royal set was the railroad.While these lines were not extensive, they permitted the rulers and their entourages to chug about in, of course, their own lavishly outfitted private cars, entertaining their guests royally.Times have changed, but even today, late each Wednesday evening between September and April, a train called the Palace On Wheels pulls out of Delhi's Safdarjang Station.India's potentates are no longer onboard — instead, the railcars are full of tourists. For the next eight days, a commissionable tour program called A Week in Wonderland, marketed by Palace Tours, Ltd. in Princeton, N.J., will crisscross Rajasthan state visiting some of India's most spectacular historical and cultural cities. Luxury in the 'Land of the Kings'Rajasthan — meaning "Land of the Kings" — is indeed a sprawling land of some 132,150 square miles. From the 8th century, its history has been marked by medieval splendor, the battle heroics of its Rajput warrior clans and their palace intrigue and romances.Much like a cruise liner, the Palace On Wheels travels mainly at night, permitting passengers to be in a different city, or even several cities, each day. That leaves passengers ready each morning to prowl palaces and ancient forts, visit museums and, of course, shop.Each passenger car is staffed with a captain and an attendant, clad in traditional Rajasthani uniforms — complete with long-tailed Rajasthan turbans called pachranda. Come morning, the pair brings wake-up tea or coffee to their passengers, then serves breakfast in a small sitting area at one end of the coach. Evening tea is similarly served there. The coach attendants also prepare food for their passengers from a small, but efficient, galley at one end of the coach.Most days, during a break in the day's sightseeing, a buffet lunch is provided at one of the local palaces that has been converted into a luxury hotel. Dinner most evenings is again served in the restaurant coaches. Because of kitchen space and staff limitations, there is no a la carte service. While the onboard menu offers a choice of either Indian or Western fare, from a Westerner's standpoint, the choice is really either Indian food or "Indian-style" Western food.Still, few can quarrel with the outstanding sightseeing attractions that await each morning at yet another stop. During the week, the train will travel 2,106 miles while under way for a total of 72 hours. The stops begin at Jaipur, the famed "Pink City," with visits to the Palace of Winds and the Amber Palace — reached by riding an elephant uphill. Next, is Sawai Madhpur, where passengers leave by 7 a.m. onboard open-air vehicles for the Ranthambhor National Park. During three hours in the protected reserve, visitors may see wild animals such as antelope, deer, boar and, if lucky, a leopard or one of the 30 tigers in the park. Then, it's on to Chittograph with its vast walled fort complex that rivals anything in Europe.Day four takes the passengers to Udaipur where lunch is served at the local maharajah's spectacular Lake Palace, followed by a tour of his City Palace. Then, the train proceeds for Jaisalmer, a city of twisting narrow lanes, elegant private residences known as "havelies" and the Jaisalmer Fort. From there, a camel ride is offered at a tiny outpost called Sam, on the edge of the vast Thar Desert sand dunes.The next day's destination is Jodhpur with its spectacular 15th-century Mehrangarh Fort, its collection of white-marble royal cenotaphs and lunch at the luxurious Umaid Bhawan Palace hotel. That afternoon, the train pulls out headed for a 450-mile, 15-hour run to Bharatpur. Early the next morning, passengers can mount bicycle rickshaws to tour the Keoladeo Ghana National Park. In the early morning quiet, clients travel alongside wetlands that are home to hundreds of species of migrating wild fowl.Next, passengers board a motorcoach for a trip to the fort at Fatehpur Sikri, before a train ride takes them to the city of Agra and the Taj Mahal. With souvenir pictures and memories to cherish, Palace On Wheels passengers return to their train for their final dinner onboard. Early the next morning, they are back in Delhi, their excursion though centuries of India's most glorious history at an end.Palace On WheelsIn different configurations, a Palace On Wheels train actually has been around for some years. The earlier versions, however, used aging coaches actually left over from when the real maharajahs rode them. These were air-conditioned but lacked such features as private bathrooms. As a result, not many American tourists were interested in the product.In 1993, however, the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation completed construction on an entirely new train. Custom-built in Madras, India, at a cost of some $7 million, the new 21-car train is fully air-conditioned. Each of the 14 passenger coaches (which are called saloons per British train terminology) has four compartments (called coupes). These coupes are configured with either a double bed or twin beds and each has its own bathroom and shower. Twin-bed compartments have a third pull-down bunk, as well.With two guests in each cabin, the 52-room Palace On Wheels accommodates 104 passengers; in the unlikely event that all third bunks are used, the capacity goes to 130 passengers. The staff aboard the Palace on Wheels numbers 64 under the supervision of a train manager. In all, the Palace On Wheels consists of a WDM 2,600-horsepower diesel locomotive; two generator cars with two sets of 750-volt generators permitting, among other things, 220-volt and 110-volt power to passenger compartments so that such personal appliances as hair dryers may be used; two combined staff and supply cars; two restaurant cars each seating 40 at a time; a lounge/bar car seating 80 guests; and the 14 passenger cars.Depending on the season, the rates vary from $ 2,710 to $3,965 based on double occupancy. Single occupancy rates vary from $3,605 to $5,310. Print Email

It's been a doozy of a week friends. In addition to Beagle sickness, life has just been a little trecherous lately. And by being distracted, frustrated, hurt, and overly worried about everything, I let all the beautiful things in my life pass by unnoticed.
Yes, I neglected everything I'm grateful for. During Thanksgiving. When I was supposed to be thankful. I am the world's worst American.
So a littler meander through my iPhone photo gallery slapped me right back in the face. Wow, do I have things to be thankful for. And these are only the ones I chose to document.
So, a week late and probably even more annoying for those who dislike these internet memes, here's my thankful list. In no particular order.
1. My cuddly, silly, independent Beagle. Don't be annoyed by my obsession with my dog, because it's only going to get worse.
2. My family. Such happy, warm, loving people. Such a support system.
3. My friends. Those that tell me how happy they are that we're friends. Those that check in on me. Those that continue to reach out despite the terrible friend I've been. Wow.
4. A creative spirit, my sewing machine, and my blog. It feels so good to have this little outlet to return to, even when I've neglected it for a few weeks now. (I'm sorry, things will turn around soon, I pinky-promise).
5. My health. I can walk, see, hear and taste. I can run and jump and climb. I can laugh. I take these things for granted way too often.
6. My freedom and security. Amen.
Things I'm not thankful for:
1. Rotten avocados

Awhile ago, I started a segment called The Beginnings: Job Hunt where I explored some of my experiences in job hunting. Finding a job wasn't an overnight deal and throughout the process, there were so many lessons learned that I wish I had known about prior. Today I explore Part II, follow up suggestions for finding a job and retaining your sanity.
The Beginnings: Job Hunt Part II
1. Back to basics. I can't speak for all college grads, but I left college a little less sure of the path I wanted to take in life. And frankly, that's a great thing. College opened a lot of doors to prospects I'd never considered and gave me the confidence to feel proficient in many more fields that I had before. Think back to a long time ago, when college counselors didn't dictate what classes you would take and what internship you needed to have. Think all the way back to the sandbox of elementary school and the toys you played with. What genuinely interests you? What do you enjoy doing? Are you a people person or do you prefer to work alone? Do you want to sit at a desk or be constantly on the road? Finding yourself and assessing the things that you enjoy is essential to a successful job search. Even if it isn't useful for life directly following college, your future permanent position should definitely involve something you enjoy. Once you start finding essential parts of who you are, you can better search for a job that will be a good fit.
2. Join the .coms. One of the first things I did when I was searching for a job was create profiles on monster.com and careerbuilder.com. They're websites that give you the capability to type in your interests and produce local job listings. They also give places that are hiring, a place to view your resume. But I have to be honest and say I wasn't entirely fond of .com job listings. Often times the jobs weren't 100% relevant or they required skills outside of my skill set. But I did use it to find the terminology of jobs I was searching for. There's at least 15 different ways to say "office receptionist" and knowing all those different ways makes your search more versatile. There were plenty of jobs in Psychology that I didn't even know existed until I searched them on monster. It's free and completely worth your time to at least browse these websites for positions you didn't know were available.
3. RESUME. I would definitely recommend asking a friend or family member to review your resume. A relevant, concise resume is essential to any job hunt. Without a good resume, you won't get the chance to interview and truly show employers what you have to offer. So ask anyone and everyone, particularly people you know working in the field to take a look. In my experience, I had several different resumes, specific to whether I was looking for a research position, counselor position or administrative assistant position. They listed the specific traits or experience I had that would be most relevant to the position. Also be aware of the layout of your resume, the easier your contact info is to find, the easier employers will be able to contact you. Do away with the bells and whistles, just make a clean record of what you've done thus far. Also don't fear if you don't have work experience, list any internships, volunteer or charity work you've been a part of. If you held any positions of leadership, definitely make a point to emphasize that. Lastly, SPELLCHECK.

Coaster Brook Trout
Questions and Answers about the 12-month "Not Warranted" Finding
1. What action is the Service taking?
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made a finding that listing the coaster brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) as endangered under the Endangered Species Act is not warranted.
This finding was made in response to a petition to list the coaster brook trout as endangered that was made by the Sierra Club (Mackinac Chapter) and the Huron Mountain Club. Those petitioners were later joined by Marvin J. Roberson Jr., who submitted supplemental information for the petition. On March 20, 2008 the Service made a preliminary (90-day) finding that the petition contained enough information to indicate that listing the coaster brook trout may be warranted. Since then, the Service has been conducting a thorough review and analysis of available information. Based on that review we have found that listing the coaster brook trout as endangered is not warranted.
2. What is a petition?
A petition (this link is to a PDF fact sheet) is a request to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) to list a species as threatened or endangered. A petition may also request that a species be delisted or that a currently listed species be reclassified.
3. What is a coaster brook trout?
Coaster brook trout are a "life history" form of brook trout in the Great Lakes and are broadly defined as brook trout that use waters of the Great Lakes for all or a portion of their life cycle. Brook trout that complete their life cycle in tributaries to the Great Lakes are stream residents and are not "coasters."
Coaster brook trout tend to live longer (5 to 8 years versus less than 5 years) and grow larger (12 to 25 in. versus 0.5 to 5 in. and 0.75 to 5 pounds versus less than 1 pound) than stream resident brook trout.
4. Why are the petitioners concerned about coaster brook trout?
Coaster brook trout are big, colorful, highly sought-after sport fish. They were once abundant and widespread throughout the northern portions of the Great Lakes, but now are limited to only a few locations. Historically, 119 tributaries to Lake Superior and possibly six Lake Huron streams supported coaster brook trout. Presently, only 15 stream-spawning and three lake-spawning populations are known to persist. Four of those populations are in the U.S: one in the Salmon Trout River in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and three on Isle Royale.
5. What is causing the coaster brook trout population to decline?
Coaster brook trout populations in the Upper Great Lakes are threatened primarily by habitat degradation, overutilization, and interactions with nonnative species.
Coaster populations have declined since the 1880s due to historic logging, agriculture, and mining activities. These activities continue today, but increased regulatory oversight, prevalent use of stream best management practices, and local watershed advocacy groups have succeeded in reducing impacts and restoring some stream sections.
Coaster brook trout populations were over-harvested by the early 1900s, due to intense sport fishing pressure coupled with near shore commercial fishing. Today, regulations governing their harvest are variable throughout the Great Lakes. Adequate protective regulations are available throughout Lake Superior and uniformly applied by the States of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin and the Province of Ontario in Lake Superior waters. But regulations in tributaries to Lake Superior are not similar across jurisdictions and in some cases are inadequate for ensuring the continued presence of coasters.
Non-native trout and salmon have been widely introduced throughout the Upper Great Lakes. Interactions with these non-natives, such as predation on young and competition for food and spawning sites, are considered significant threats to coasters.
6. If coaster brook trout are not a species or subspecies, how can they be considered for listing under the Endangered Species Act?
The definition of "species" under the Endangered Species Act includes Distinct Population Segments. Our analysis included determining whether a Distinct Population Segment exists. Additionally we also considered whether brook trout within the upper Great Lakes constituted a "significant portion of the range" of brook trout and whether that portion of the range is endangered or threatened.
7. Was a coaster brook trout Distinct Population Segment identified for this 12-month finding?
No, we were not able to identify a valid Distinct Population Segment (DPS). We considered three possible DPSs in our analysis: (1) coaster brook trout in the upper Great Lakes, (2) all brook trout in the upper Great Lakes, (3) Salmon Trout River/South Shore Lake Superior. We found that none of these population segments constituted a valid DPS.
To determine whether these brook trout populations could be considered a DPS we considered the following three elements, as directed by the Service's DPS policy1:
We determined that these three population segments in the upper Great Lakes are discrete (Step 1), but none significantly contributes to the future existence of brook trout when considered within the context of populations of brook trout found throughout their entire range (Step 2). Thus no population is a valid Distinct Population Segment and we did not move on to the third step of evaluating conservation status (Step 3).
8. If the coaster brook trout population has declined, why did the Service find that listing as endangered was not warranted?
Coaster brook trout are the same species as brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis. Rather than being a subspecies, they are a "life history form." Another "life history" form of brook trout are stream-residents (they complete their entire life history within tributaries to the Great Lakes, but never enter the Great Lakes). Experts contend that if environmental conditions are suitable, the coaster "life form" of brook trout can be readily reconstituted from the stream-resident "life form" of brook trout. Thus the population health of coasters is essentially equal to the population health of brook trout in the upper Great Lakes. Although coaster brook trout have declined and threats remain, there are at least 200 brook trout populations within the upper Great Lakes and the overall population number of brook trout within the upper Great Lakes remains high. Further, we determined that coaster brook trout do not compose a DPS and thus are not a listable entity under the ESA.
9. What steps are being taken to benefit coaster brook trout?
State, Tribal, Federal and Provincial agencies have been actively involved in brook trout management activities that include regulatory changes, habitat restoration and reintroduction projects.
Service biologists worked with staff from resource agencies in Canada and the U.S. to develop a Brook Trout Rehabilitation Plan for Lake Superior. The plan calls for protection and rehabilitation of coasters in as many of their original habitats as possible. To bring back the coasters, three approaches are being used: protection from overharvesting of remaining stocks; rehabilitation of spring-fed areas of streams; and, redesign or removal of dams blocking access to those streams.
Since the early 1990s, coaster brook trout rehabilitation efforts on the part of all government entities with appropriate jurisdiction have increased and progress has been made in coordinating management among the various agencies. The Minnesota and Wisconsin DNRs have developed internal operational plans to advance brook trout restoration activities within their states.
In 2005, adequate protective regulations for brook trout were in place throughout Lake Superior and uniformly applied by the states of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin and the Province of Ontario in Lake Superior waters. Additionally, Wisconsin and Michigan have special protective regulations (for example, catch and release only or 18 in. (46 cm) minimum size limit) in place on select streams.
Since the 1990s, attempts have been made to rehabilitate or re-introduce brook trout populations in Lake Superior by stocking brook trout originating from within the basin. To date these rehabilitation stocking efforts have had limited success. Stocking continues in some areas to establish new populations and increase the abundance and geographic distribution of coasters in Lake Superior. From 2001-2005, nearly 2.2 million Lake Superior basin strains of brook trout were stocked in the lake or in tributaries to the lake that are accessible to migratory fish.
10. How do I get more information about coaster brook trout and the Service's 12-month finding?
The Federal Register publication of the "12-Month Finding on a Petition to List the Coaster Brook Trout under the Endangered Species," as well as background information about the coaster brook trout is available on the internet at http://www.fws.gov/midwest/eco_serv/soc/fish/cobr/ or you can get a copy of the Federal Register Notice and additional information by writing to:

What you are not going to find is the kind of "painting" instruction you might have been taught in a more traditional class when you were growing up. Training of that kind sometimes encourages absolute realism as opposed to a freer creative expression — and almost by design can stop your creative flow or bring up your inner critic the whole time you are painting or drawing.
The reality is, it can take YEARS of practice to paint something with anything approaching true photo-realistic technique. Years and years of effort. And even then, each of us has certain inherent limits to acquiring that kind of technical skill.
You can of course continue to improve technically, and you can work to achieve any level of technique your vision requires.
But that comes with time.
In the meantime, you needn't worry about trying to paint like Rembrandt or Vermeer. (Though Cezanne, perhaps. Or Monet. These were expressive painters unconcerned with creating picture-perfect paintings through colossal effort. They were artists who found their expression through paint — however wild, however free.)
In the meantime, you should be HAVING FUN.
You should be expressing your creative vision and living the life of a true artist.
Similarly, this course isn't going to teach you how to wield a DSLR like a pro. (Though Susan's new book will.)
You aren't going to learn how to think through f-stops and ISO settings and metering methods.
Instead, you are going to capture images of wonder all around you … and craft them into artistic compositions — or components of larger, richer, layered mixed-media canvases.
And you will learn to do this with the simplest and most common of photographic tools available today: your smartphone!
Take advantage of this amazing offer and explore the extraordinary collaborative course with Susan Tuttle and Alena Hennessy … all for only $197. And you can check out the course with entirely NO RISK, because you are completely protected by a 60-day, no-worries, no-questions-asked, no-fuss 100% money-back guarantee. Couldn't be simpler. So sign up today and look forward to an artistic adventure that will change your life!
As you venture into this new, exciting world of creativity, you are in the most capable of hands. Both instructors have years and years of experience as celebrated teachers. You're going to love your guides as much as you love the adventure ahead of you.
About Alena Hennessy:
Alena is an internationally acclaimed artist, author of Cultivating Your Creative Life and The Painting Workbook, and facilitator of painting and mixed media retreats across the United States and abroad. Her work has been featured in numerous magazines, including Dwell, The Washington Post, Redbook, Somerset Life, Oyster, Stitch, and Natural Health. She has exhibited her paintings in galleries in major cities within the U.S., along with several museum shows.

One out from taking a one-run victory Tuesday night, the A's instead absorbed a one-run loss.
The Rangers got to Luke Gregerson for two runs with two down in the ninth and Texas grabbed its second straight one-run win at the Coliseum, this one 5-4.
The A's dropped consecutive games for the first time this season. They had been the only team in the majors without a losing streak in 2014.
There was plenty of drama in the ninth. Pinch-hitter Mitch Moreland greeted Gregerson with a double to right-center. Moreland advanced to third on Robinson Chirinos' sacrifice.
Leonys Martin then dropped down another bunt. Gregerson foiled the safety squeeze by fielding the bunt and flipping the ball to Derek Norris, who tagged out Moreland.
Martin proceeded to steal second. He scored the tying run on Josh Wilson's double over the head of Yoenis Céspedes in left.
Moments later, the Rangers were on top to stay. Former Oakland outfielder Michael Choice bounced one into center field. Wilson rolled home and just like that, the A's were down 5-4.
Joakim Soria worked a three-up, three-down ninth for his fifth save.
The Rangers hit only ball out of the infield in the first, but manufactured those two runs. Donnie Murphy's two-out, swinging-bunt single up the third-base line with the bases loaded made it 1-0. Tommy Milone then issued his third walk of the inning, this one to Chrinos, to force home the second run.
Oakland tied it in the bottom of the inning. Jed Lowrie smoked a one-out double to right-center, and then rolled home on Josh Donaldson's single single to center.
With two outs, Yoenis Céspedes hooked a Nick Martinez pitch into the left-field corner for a double that brought in Donaldson for a 2-2 game.
The A's were in prime position to take the lead in the second. They loaded the bases with one out. Martinez, a right-hander making his second big-league start, went 3-0 on Lowrie.
The count eventually went full. Lowrie then lifted a flyball to fairly short center field. Martin made the grab and his throw to the plate was in time to cut down John Jaso. Chirinos, the Rangers' catcher, did a nice job of applying the tag.
Singles by Alex Rios and Prince Fielder gave the Rangers runners at the corners with nobody out in the third. Rios scored when Kevin Kouzmanoff bounced into a 5-4-3 double play. Make it 3-2, Rangers.
Kouzmanoff left the game in the fourth because of back tightness. Sure enough, that played a role in the A's grabbing the lead.
Josh Wilson moved from second base to take Kouzmanoff's spot at third. With one out and Jaso at first, Wilson charged Josh Reddick's grounder. The ball went under Wilson's glove and into left field. Jaso motored to third and Reddick hustled to second.
The A's would benefit with two unearned runs. Eric Sogard's sacrifice fly brought home Jaso to tie the game. Reddick scored the go-ahead run on Coco Crisp's double that went off the glove of a diving Rios in right.
Former A's lefty Pedro Figueroa entered the game with two outs in the eighth. He threw one pitch. It hit Reddick. Figueroa then left the game with an injury to his left elbow.
Briefly: A's left-hander Eric O'Flaherty, on the 60-day disabled list as he rehabs from Tommy John surgery, impressed Melvin with his bullpen session Tuesday. "I asked him if he's got an inning in him today," Melvin cracked. O'Flaherty is eligible to come off the DL on May 29. The A's would love to activate him anytime between then and the All-Star break.
Another left-hander who has returned from Tommy John surgery is Texas reliever Aaron Poreda, who worked a scoreless sixth inning. An alum of Campolindo High-Moraga and USF, Poreda is back in the majors for the first time since 2009. For more on his story, click here.

THE Civil Society-Domestic Elections Observation Group (CSO-DEOG) has been formally dissolved following the Elections Minister's refusal for them to be observers in next month's general election.
In a statement yesterday, the group expressed its disappointment with the Minister for Elections Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum's refusal to allow 300 observers from the Central, Eastern, Northern and Western divisions of Fiji to participate as domestic observers.
"The coalition first sought the invitation to observe from the Minister for Elections in a letter dated 18th June 2014," the statement said.
"Despite numerous attempts to seek a meeting to discuss the above, CSO-DEOG received a verbal refusal on the 23rd of August 2014."
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said the presence of the Multinational Observer Group and party scrutineers would suffice for now.
The statement added that the training and participation of civil society observers added credibility to any election process, particularly in a highly contested election, such as the 2014 election in Fiji that are the first steps towards a return to democracy.
"Local community observers are often able to understand the nuances that international observers cannot, and their absence will leave a hole in the process.
"The CSO-DEOG is now formally dissolved. We wish all Fijian voters the best in the coming elections."

This year we celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of Hungarian democracy after fifty years of Soviet domination. To mark the occasion a number of books, articles, and reminiscences will be published. Several interviews with people politically active in those days have already appeared.
These new studies and memoirs will complement books that have already been published dealing with the two or three years preceding the opening of parliament on May 2, 1990. Of course, there are at least two narratives of the same story, but I consider Zoltán Ripp's Rendszerváltás Magyarországon, 1987-1990 (Budapest, 2006) a book that will have a significant impact on the public assessment of these events for a long time to come. Ripp, as a good historian should, tried to give a balanced view, yet it was obvious that his sympathies lay with those people who later formed the Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ). I'm unaware of a comparable work written from the point of view of the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF), although I just read that Imre Kónya, who later became minister of the interior in the Boross government (December 13, 1993-July 14, 1994), is in the process of writing his reminiscences of the period. Of course, the memoirs of a politician, however valuable, cannot be compared to a scholarly work with thousands of footnotes.
Two biographies of József Antall, the first prime minister of the post-communist era, appeared earlier. The first, Antall József távolról (József Antall from Afar), was written by Sándor Révész, a journalist at Népszabadság. It was published in 1996, three years after Antall's death, not enough time for a balanced assessment. In 2006 József Debreczeni came out with A miniszterelnök (The Prime Minister), which suffers from Debreczeni's undisguised admiration for Antall.
To understand the political situation twenty-five years ago it is important to recall the results of the elections of 1990 which took place on March 25 and April 8. Considering that it was the first free election after so many years, voter turnout was relatively low: 65%. MDF received 24.7%, SZDSZ 21.4%, the Smallholders 11.7%, MSZP 10.9%, Fidesz 8.9%, and the Christian Democrats 6.4%. MDF couldn't form a government alone. Eventually, Antall opted for a coalition of MDF, the Smallholders, and the Christian Democrats. The opposition, all from the left of center, were the liberal SZDSZ (93 seats) and Fidesz (21 seats) in addition to MSZP (33 seats). A "grand coalition" of MDF and SZDSZ was out of the question for Antall and other important MDF leaders.
Although it is fashionable on the right to blame SZDSZ for the very sharp divide between the two political groupings, it was not a one-way street. A hatred of SZDSZ was widely shared in MDF political circles. The above-mentioned Imre Kónya published a short article in Magyar Nemzet a few days ago in which he recalls a conversation with Antall during the coalition negotiations. The future prime minister told Kónya that he didn't want to govern with the liberals because "once they establish themselves in some of the ministries not even God Almighty will be able to get rid of them." Yet, given the Hungarian constitutional set-up, Antall was forced to come to an arrangement with SZDSZ to ensure the relative stability of his government.
Today some critics, even former members of MDF like Károly Herényi, think that Antall made a huge mistake when he decided to form a coalition of three parties, all from the right. The problems facing the country were so great and the road ahead so difficult that a "grand coalition" would have been the only sensible move. Such an arrangement would have spread the responsibility for the very unpopular measures that lay ahead. And common governing may have blunted the sharp differences between the two groups.
Ever since 2010 there have been signs of a softening of the opposition's very negative opinion of József Antall. Those who criticized him for years now think much more highly of the former prime minister. This is not surprising after five years of Viktor Orbán. Most people stress the fact that, despite all his faults, he was a steadfast supporter of parliamentary democracy, which is more than one can say about the current holder of the office.
And yet, although MDF could certainly have made a worse choice, Antall's background and his immersion in Hungarian history didn't prepare him to lead a new Hungary. This may sound odd coming from a historian, but let me explain what I mean. Normally, one would think that being well versed in history ought to be an asset for a politician. Yes, but not when the history of the country offers no viable models for a democratic future. Moreover, Antall by upbringing brought along the thinking of the "keresztény úriosztály" who were the main supporters of the Horthy regime. What do we mean by "keresztény úriosztály"? Another difficult term to translate. It was a group of upper middle class people, often of gentry background. The majority were Catholics, and many of them were either civil servants or were employed by the municipalities. József Antall, Sr. belonged to this class and held high civil service positions during the Horthy era. József, Jr. naturally attended a Catholic school, the famous Piarist gymnasium in Budapest. Throughout his youth he was steeped in that culture.
With this background came a heightened nationalist fervor, which was an important ingredient of post-Trianon Hungary. Imre Kónya in an interview recently explained that what made him an opponent of the Kádár regime was not only the lack of democracy and freedom but also the want of nationalism. Although he sympathized with the fierce anti-communism of SZDSZ, it was the MDF leaders' nationalism that induced him to join the party. After all, Antall was the one who announced that in spirit he wants to be the prime minister of 15 million Hungarians, which raised quite a few eyebrows. This nationalism has been the hallmark of the Hungarian right ever since. Unfortunately, in today's world this nationalism can lead only to isolation and conflict.
The other day I talked about RMDSZ, the Hungarian ethnic political party in Romania. I mentioned its former chairman, Béla Markó, who just yesterday published a remarkable opinion piece in Népszabadság. He was talking about May 9, Europe-Day. He concluded his piece with these words: "Today we celebrate that day [May 9] as Europe Day, when the idea of European cooperation proved to be more important than the delusions of nation states because in a common Europe nations can breathe more freely than they can being locked up in their own hubris. I don't know whether this will happen or not. But it should happen this way." An indictment of both Hungarian and Romanian nationalism.

i think that any inflammatory disease can benefit from fat restriction of a certain kind. ok im no doctor... but here's what i got from internet. siguro u can check w ur doctor::::
Another important polyunsaturated fatty acid is arachidonic acid. It is found in relatively high concentrations in beef, pork, lamb, dairy, and shellfish. This fatty acid gets converted to eicosanoids with very different effects from those derived from the essential fatty acids. Arachidonic acid results in inflammation, platelet aggregation, salt and water retention, and cell transformation. You may have noticed that arachidonic acid is found in the same animal foods that are high in saturated fats. The arachidonic acid is probably more responsible for the negative health effects linked with these foods than the saturated fats.
