Who's Your Favorite James Bond?
Who's Your Favorite James Bond?
by POPSUGAR Entertainment 39 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Part of the fun of James Bond movies (like this weekend's Quantum of Solace) is seeing what each new actor brings to the role. There are always a few givens, since Bond has to be charming, stylish, clever and good with a gun. Oh, and he has to look great in a tux.
But this leaves room for variation, with each actor having a different take on how slick or funny or tough his Bond is. So who do you think makes the best James Bond?

My boyfriend and I have this on going debate my favorite is Pierce Brosnan, his Sean Connery. Sean Connery maybe the better actor, but Pierce Brosnan so much nicer to look at.

Well, I've always like most of the men who played Bond. It's like each one of them gave their Bond something. And each of the fit for the time the played Bond. With the exception of George and Timothy, I thought they were both miscasted. I absolutely love Daniel as Bond.

"Sean Connery AND Daniel Craig. Oh manjoyment." Ditto. I cannot get enough of Daniel's gorgeous blue eyes.

Sean Connery, then Pierce, then Daniel Craig. I hate watching Roger Moore as Bond, don't know why. I just don't find him as good.

i feel like i'm the only one that doesn't get the daniel craig love. I don't think he is that attractive, just old looking.

Sean Conner - I agree with Juicylemon, that's exactly what I think bond should be, then Pierce Brosnan - because he was sexy and funny, and then probably Daniel Craig. I didn't like the others much, although I'm sure they were excellent actors, I just wasn't 'feeling' them as bond. None of them really match the description in the book - well, how I envisioned him anyway

Sean Connery and Daniel Craig.

I'm a Daniel Craig devotee, but my husband's favorite Bond is Roger Moore. As I understand, you can tell a lot about a man by his favorite Bond. (Rumor has it that Moore is the "thinking man's Bond," which does describe DH!)

I know Sean Connery is hard to top, but I grew up with Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, and I really like him more in that part. Although gender politics have changed in the span of 30 years between the two Bonds, he was nicer towards the women.
Juicylemon 5 years
Sean Connery. Sexy, charming and brutal. Like in the books. Daniel Craig comes close second.

I think Brosnan was the best for the part looks-wise. I do enjoy the Moore ones, and Craig did an excellent job, too.

To be honest, I've never seen any of the movies. Its really not my style (I'm a musical and horror movie type, really.) But Pierce Brosnan, according to all the trailers and promo shots, was way too gorgeous. Plus that's from "my era", the N64 game, GoldenEye... yes i have it, yes i still play it (I'm 20 and a big kid.) Although, Sean Connery is a classic.

Sean Connery. Nobody has been able to hold a candle to his ultrasexy and confident 007 yet. I do like Roger Moore's and Daniel Craig's takes on the role too though.

pierce was my favorite - and i think that it's probably cause i didn't get into bond until he was starring in the series. i can't get into daniel craig in the part but oh well.

I didn't like Bond movies before Daniel Craig so he's definitely my favorite.

The bloodletting continues for Lance Armstrong ... the disgraced cyclist just lost THREE more huge sponsors ... including his bike deal.
Trek Bicycles has officially ended their deal with Armstrong ... ditto for the FRS energy drink company. Anheuser-Busch has also announced it will NOT renew Lance's deal to endorse its Michelob Ultra line when it expires at the end of the year.
Of course, Lance was already fired by Nike this morning -- and hours later, his bike helmet company followed suit.
How's your Wednesday going?
He really ****ed up his image!!! I hope America dog his ass like they did Tiger Woods.
...And all this is obviously A-Rod's fault!
He is a cheat and his work for cancer was totally self serving. Hopefully he will peddle away in shame...
Lance, didn't you see the lion king. Cheata's never prosper. You lying cheatin POS. I hope you have to go on the dole.
You people are nailing up this guy for lying yet you still defend and protect 'Bama who has been lying to us for years!!! WAKE UP!!!
There is so much corruption in sports I don't believe either side. I think the sponsors are rats jumping ship. Don't think for a minute those sponsors weren't in on the corruption and are spinning to get out.
What did Lance think was going to happen by denying doping for so many years when there was SO much evidence against him?
People has said that once we traveler down the road to the end of world, the truth about a lot things will come to head. Stuff people believed as valid is all coming like as fake.
Give this guy a break! Cycling is full of cheats. Some get caught and most don't. He is still an unbeleivealble athelete and compteted on a fair playing field. His tenacity and pain endurance have no match...doping or not. I can't help but respect the hell out of him for that!
he did nothing different the 12 people behind him did....if i was going against 11 people on dope,I would dope to beat them if millions was the at the end of the line.
You don't have much faith in your ability as an athlete if you have to cheat with performance-enhancing drugs, and there is no glory in a win if you cheat. You can say that the entire sporting world is enslaved to doping, but anyone can stand up and refuse it and expose it.
People say hey Ronnie Coleman takes roids blah blahhh....You don't inject yourself and look like a Ronnie,You are simply just staying at level with the cheats and keeping yourself and the fanf at bay.The money would not be there if not the drugs,we dont care about mediocre,we want monsters.Nike can get the next model but just don't test him until he made you Billions.Try and watch a baseball game withoit the roids...I dare you...and I live in NYC and a Yankee fan,but I cant.PEACE..SEE YOU WHEN I LOOK AT YOU
To: Craig
But, the people who also did it are not as famous as Lance, and they don't have millions of dollars in advertising endorsements. He is even leaving his own Cancer Charity, and rightly so, because his cancer that everyone grieved over was very likely self-indused by putting hormone-altering drugs into his body.
yea but it is on TV....this is not a lil race on the huffy,this is millions at stake,we want records being blown.Drugs are part of the new world,they make you better at what you do...if its porno you pop a blue pill,if you drive a bus in Manhattan stuck in traffic 10 hours a day you pop a xanax,fuq it...if you are home and your kid keeps crappin his pants and crying because it smells almost as bad as your fat husband you pop a tylenol...drugs make this world tolerable,just dont mix stupid with drugs

She was fascinated by the production process and fell in love with the idea of making music herself. Her career started on a slightly geekier note, however, but pulled it off in a decidedly cool manner, as she studied computer science abroad in Germany and Italy and landed a job as a hacker for the US government. But the music kept calling.She toyed with DJing through school and her early 20s, but it was a fateful one-on-one encounter one night with world renowned DJ Christopher Lawrence at a DC show in 2004 that set the turntables in her mind in fast forward. After receiving some sage words of advice from her hero, Neekola started studying music and DJing in her spare time, all while finishing school and working full time. However, in 2009, Neekola realized it was time to focus on her destiny and drop her stable promising career with the US government to pursue the risky business of making music and becoming a DJ. Fast forward to 2011, Neekola has developed into one of DC's biggest DJs and landed a number of impressive national and international gigs in a short couple years.

I need advice for licensing a library of drum kit
audio samples. The following is a list of objectives:
1. free as in beer and speech useage and distribution
of the library for commercial and non-commercial
interests but the orginal copyright statement must
remain intact.
2. distribtuion of modified versions of the library is
strictly prohibited. Adding samples to the library or
changing the sound of any sample constitutes a
modification. I will accept contributions for
inclusion but the owner would have to share copyright.
3. derivitive products in the form of songs, sound
tracks or any other product can be freely distributed
but must include a credit to the effect of Drum
samples from "Mirror Image Drum Sample Library
copyright Ron Parker".
An example album credit could appear similar to the
Album Title
1. Free Beer written by Josephine Doe, drum samples
(MI), bass guitar John Doe, etc.
2. Free Speech written by John Doe, drum samples
Drum samples from Mirror Image Drum Sample Library
copyright Ron Parker.
I'm trying to find a specific license that exactly
covers my interests. Maybe it's a Creative Commons
license. The biggest problem is I don't have alot of
time to think about or research the licensing issues.
I'm not sure if restricting modification of the
library would prevent it from being included in Debian
distributions. Any thoughts on that? I appreciate all
help and advice.
Thank you,
Ron Parker

Police: Drunk Man Burned Neighbor's Flag
September 10, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
PERU, Ind., (UPI) — An Indiana man is facing a charge of desecrating a U.S. flag after allegedly drunkenly burning his neighbor's flag.
The Miami County Sheriff's Office said Brett Bishop, 21, of Peru, who was arrested Saturday, admitted to deputies he had gotten drunk and armed himself with a BB gun Aug. 5 when he went into a neighbor's yard to retrieve his dog, the Paros-Tribune, Logansport, Ind., reported Tuesday.
Bishop said he remembered going into his neighbor's garage and stealing frozen pork from a freezer and he remembered cutting down part of his neighbor's flag, but he didn't recall burning the object.
Deputies said Bishop also cut his neighbor's clothes line and left his barbecue grill turned on and left open.
Bishop was charged with burglary, theft, criminal mischief and flag desecration.

US Appeals Court Rules Obamacare Individual Mandate Unconstitutional
**Written by Doug Powers
Optional headline: Obamacare downgraded; Tea Party blamed
The stampede to the health care law ending up in the lap of the Supreme Court rambles on:
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ruled that the health care reform law's requirement that nearly all Americans buy insurance is unconstitutional, a striking blow to the legislation.
The suit was brought by 26 states — nearly all led by Republican governors and attorneys general. The Department of Justice is expected to appeal.
The panel partially upheld a ruling issued in January by Judge Roger Vinson, who struck down the entire health reform law. However, the 11th Circuit said that the rest of the legislation can stand even if the mandate is unconstitutional.
The Obama administration now has 90 days to either ask the 11th Circuit to review their decision, or they can appeal to the Supreme Court. Or they might decide to put their hands over their ears and yell "la la la la I can't hear you la la la la" and ignore it the way they've done with other rulings. We'll see.
The Washington Post has more details.

Brash, driven, and dazzlingly inventive, six-star Alain Ducasse is a larger-than-life figure. At 33, he was the youngest chef ever to be awarded three Michelin stars, and in March 1998, he became the only chef in our time to possess six stars. He has mentored a generation of younger chefs who have introduced his cooking around the world and has, quite simply, changed the face of traditional French cooking.
Ducasse: Flavors of France documents, in more than one hundred lavishly photographed recipes, the influences–Mediterranean, Provencal, and classical French–that permeate this extraordinary cuisine. Many of the recipes are simple, others complex, but all can be perfectly accomplished with a little time and patience.
Includes wine suggestions and editor's notes.

This is a terrific book for looking and learning, and very expensive to cook from! These dishes, drawn from the menus of several of the Ducasse restaurants, in a range of styles and levels of formality, are achievable in a home kitchen with effort and care. They also demand a degree of fortitude, in being willing to open your wallet to purchase the expensive ingredients required, at a level of quality high enough to justify the amount of work that goes into the dishes. If you know of a couple of good producer oak trees which yield excellent Perigord black truffles, the cost of the ingredients comes down considerably; about 20 of the recipes use them!

Learn something new every day More Info... by email
In the United States legal system, a plaintiff formally begins a civil action when he files a complaint that names a defendant in court. A complaint is a short and plain statement of the facts surrounding the controversy. An amended complaint is a revision of the original complaint that was previously filed by the plaintiff. A defendant usually has 21 days from the date on which he is served with the summons and complaint to officially file his response or answer in court.
There are many reasons why a plaintiff may want to amend a complaint. A plaintiff may have subsequently discovered additional facts about the lawsuit since the time he filed the original complaint, for example. In addition, a plaintiff may wish to amend his complaint to include additional causes of action, or requests for relief, or to name additional parties as defendants to the action.
In some cases, a plaintiff will need to file an amended complaint because a court may have granted a defendant's motion to dismiss the plaintiff's complaint. This may happen if it failed to state a legal claim upon which relief can be granted, or if the allegations made were too vague. In situations where a plaintiff's original complaint was legally defective, rather than dismissing the plaintiff's case entirely with no further recourse, many courts will allow the plaintiff to file an amended complaint in order to correct the inadequacies. Most jurisdictions in the United States follow the federal rules of civil procedure, which govern the manner in which a complaint may be amended.
Rule 15 of the federal rules of civil procedure provides that a plaintiff may amend his complaint as a matter of course, if the defendant has not filed an answer to the original complaint. If the defendant has filed his answer to the original complaint, the plaintiff may amend his complaint only by consent of the defendant or with the court's permission. Most courts freely allow a plaintiff to amend his complaint unless the amendment would substantially prejudice the defendant.
The complaint must be also be served upon the defendant, who is then allowed to respond to it within the response time remaining on the original complaint. This is usually 21 days from the date on which it was served, or 10 days from the date of service of the amended complaint, whichever time period is longer.

What happens when the plaintiff is not allowed to amend the complaint because it is substantially prejudicial to the defendant? Are the charges dismissed?

Fields Of Dreams
Young City Athletes Talk Spring Sports
We're at the tail end of a cold-ish winter that hasn't
yielded much in the way of outdoor snow play. It's no wonder many city children
(parents, too!) are looking forward to the fun and physical elements that
spring sports programs have to offer. To kick off the season, we spoke with
several young athletes who shared their thoughts and aspirations regarding
their spring sport of choice.
Nigel Andrews, 14,
Doc's NYC Lacrosse
What made you want to
play lacrosse?
When I was seven, my uncle brought me to a UVA lacrosse
game. It was the semifinals of the national tournament and it was a great game;
it went into overtime. Afterwards I started looking into the game and found
that I actually liked it and I started playing for Doc's.
How often do you have
to practice?
I try to practice every day, because I have a little
backyard and I have a rebounder wall so I hit the ball off the wall. I also
have team practices twice a week.
Who is your favorite
professional lacrosse player?
Probably Kyle Harrison who played lacrosse for Johns
Hopkins. He was actually playing against UVA at the first lacrosse game that I
saw, which I didn't know at the time.
Is lacrosse a good sport
for kids to consider playing?
I think it's helpful for kids in terms of schools. A lot of
good academic schools also have great lacrosse teams, so if you're good at
lacrosse it can help you get into a good school.
What has lacrosse
taught you about life?
It's taught me that academics are much more important than
sports. As I said before, a lot of great schools have great lacrosse teams, so
if you're not into academics and you don't think it matters, then you probably
aren't going to go to a great lacrosse school.
Julia Britt, 15,
Yorkville Softball League for Girls
What do you enjoy
most about softball?
The fact that everyone has to work together. We need to
rely on each other, whether we play well or not. It's nice to have people
behind you no matter what the outcome is.
What advice would you give other kids
who are considering signing up for the sport?
Don't be afraid to try it. A lot of girls are in the
same boat as you.
Do you play any other sports?
Softball and basketball at school, and soccer and volleyball
at summer camp. I also enjoy snowboarding, when there's snow!
Who is your favorite athlete?
Shaun White. He works really hard which allows him to push
the limits of the sport.
Why do you think that softball is good for kids living in the city?
It's a great opportunity to play outdoors while getting the
chance to meet kids from all over.
Do you plan on playing softball in the
I would love to play in college and know I will continue to
play every chance I get.
Alex Perel, 13, Manhattan Youth Baseball
Why do you play
I love the competitiveness. I also love the feeling of joy I
get when I make a nice play or get a hit. After I make a great catch or
turn a double play, I feel like I really accomplished something and helped the
What position do you
Anywhere Coach puts me, but I normally play middle infield,
which is second base and shortstop.
Do you play other
Yes, basketball, tennis and I run cross country. The agility
and work needed to play these sports has helped me improve my speed and
conditioning for baseball.
How often do you
We have fielding practice on Saturdays and hitting practice
on Sundays, so twice a week during the winter. During the spring and summer
when we have games, we can play up to four times a week.
Who is your favorite
professional athlete?
Albert Pujols, because he is the best baseball player in the
major leagues and is an example of how success occurs when one works
Would you recommend
baseball to other kids living in NYC?
It serves as a relief from school and homework, and you
really do not need a lot to play, only a ball and two mitts, and you can have a
catch and play almost anywhere.
Cole Collier, 12,
Asphalt Green
When did you start
My parents took me for swim lessons at our local YMCA from when
I was a toddler. I swam every Saturday morning so that I would eventually
become a good swimmer. When I was eight years old, my swim instructor said
that I was good enough to try out for the local swim team. So we went to
Asphalt Green Unified Aquatics (AGUA) and I tried out for the team and started
swimming competitively and absolutely loved it.
What do you like
about your coaches and teammates?
My coach, Jialin Hu, is a wonderful coach who emphasizes technique,
hard work and respect. He is a former Chinese national champion swimmer
and has taught me a lot. My teammates are very supportive and we are all
very good friends. Most of them are from different schools around the city
so I feel fortunate that I have an extended circle of friends.
Do you play any other
I am currently training for my black belt in jujitsu. I
also play tennis, sail and ski.
Where do you hope
that swimming will take you in the future?
I am very passionate about swimming. I have big
dreams. Currently I am ranked the #1 (12-year-old and under) boy in the
Metropolitan area and my goals this spring are to become the #1 all-around
swimmer in the Northeast and then go on to make the National level competitions
and eventually the Olympic trials in the coming years. I also hope to swim
competitively in college.
Who is your favorite
My favorite professional athlete is Michael Phelps. I
look forward to seeing him in the 2012 Olympics in London.
Maurice Russo, 15, John McEnroe Tennis Academy
What do you enjoy
most about playing tennis?
What I love most are all the small aspects that are crucial.
Being an individual sport with no coaching, you can never sub-out of the game
if you're tired or not playing well, and you can't call a time-out for
What are your coaches
and teammates like?
All of my coaches and teammates are great people off court,
but when we step on court, we all change. Our coaches get really tough on us,
and good friends become rivals. We all like to be very competitive on court, because
that's how we learn to win.
How often do you
I practice everyday, having the McEnroe Academy four times a week, fitness
and lessons three times a week. Practicing every day is a big step to improving
your game.
Who is your favorite professional athlete?
Having so much help and inspiration from him, John McEnroe
has become my favorite athlete. Aside from him being a great coach at our
academy, he is also a great guy to meet off the court.
Kylie Stenzler, 9, Manhattan Soccer Club
Why did you decide to
start playing soccer?
I was first introduced to soccer through my cousins who are
older and who also play for Manhattan Soccer Club.
How often do you
I practice four times a week.
Do you play any other
I also play basketball and tennis and also enjoy ice
Who is your favorite
professional athlete?
Soccer player Abby Wambach.
Why do you think that
soccer is good for kids living in NYC?
Living in NYC, it's great to be able to spend time outside
on the fields.
Do you plan on
playing soccer in the future?
I love it and I can never imagine not playing soccer.

1199cc, 178bhp, 185mph, Insurance group 17
For many owners the Kawasaki ZX-12R combines the best aspects of the Honda Blackbird or Hayabusa, but mixes in a dose of good old fashioned lairy fun. The Kawasaki ZX-12R is a beefy, roomy sports-tourer, with an engine that keeps tempting you to open it up. Decent build quality too.
1164cc, 123bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 13
The Kawasaki ZRX1200 is a big, beefy, retro styled bike with plenty of grunt, a comfortable riding position and good looks (especially the Kawasaki ZRX1200 R version, which pays homage to the Eddie Lawson replica Z1100R of the '80s). But the Kawasaki ZRX1200 is really heavy, has a notchy gearbox and the handling and braking feels outdated compared to the ...
1052cc, 123bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 14
The Kawasaki GPZ1100 is more sporty tourer than sports tourer. Launched with zero cutting edge technology but a honking great engine with a hearty midrange that makes rapid riding easy. On the spec sheet the Kawasaki GPZ1100 is an overweight dinosaur but on the road it's actually a great machine. Just don't go chasing the latest GSX-Rs on a twisty road.
997cc, 110bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 14
The Kawasaki GTR1000, an 80s touring dinosaur, has its good points; a screen which actually protects the rider well, shaft drive, comfy saddle, a massive 28.5 litre fuel capacity and - for the time - respectable handling. But the aged GPZ1000 motor, weak brakes and dated styling limit its appeal.
1052cc, 147bhp, 172mph, Insurance group 16
The ZZ-R11 long reigned as speed top dog, but that all changed in 1996 when Honda's Super Blackbird assumed the title of "Fastest Production Motorcycle". Intriguingly, however, the ZZ-R continues to impress, aceing the the Blackbird in top gear roll on tests, remaining a great all-rounder and now being better value than ever.
996cc, 98bhp, 135mph, Insurance group 13
When you're looking for a big trailie-type the Kawasaki KLV1000 could be the answer you were looking for.
1470cc, 69bhp, 118mph, Insurance group 12
A far, far cheaper way of cruising than buying into the Harley dream. Reliable too. The VN1500s are positively vast so, if road presence is important to you, they could be your thing. Lots of gutsy, low down performance with smooth touring speeds at the top end mean relaxed, joyful and easy riding.
1052cc, 98bhp, 145mph, Insurance group 13
The Kawasaki ZRX1100 is one of those bikes which doesn't look that exciting on paper, or even parked up, but once you grab a big handful of throttle down a twisty road the thing comes alive. It's an old school, take-no-prisoners hoon machine and you can surprise yourself - and random sportbike riders - with its combination of solid braking, ...
998cc, 181bhp, 180mph, Insurance group 17
The Kawasaki ZX-10R is sold as the ultimate track bike – the 2004/05 ZX-10R was one of Kawasaki's first machines after the firm gave itself a kick up the arse in 2002. The 10R's one wild ride and an absolute weapon in experienced hands. It's light, makes massive power and handles superbly on the track –a bit of a handful ...

text: 000 FXUS63 KSGF 171712 AFDSGF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 1212 PM CDT Wed Sep 17 2014 ...18Z Aviation Update... .UPDATE... Issued at 1106 AM CDT WED SEP 17 2014 Several areas/clusters of elevated thunderstorms continue to develop and drop southeast across the central portions of the forecast area late this morning. While not quite as organized or widespread as the early morning storms, torrential rainfall and frequent lightning will remain likely with the heaviest activity. Low level jet induced lift should weaken through 1 PM, with a corresponding downward trend in convective strength and coverage expected with time. With a warm front still in the area and several ripples in the flow aloft making their way through, scattered thunderstorms will remain possible through the afternoon hours today across the region. Frequent lightning, heavy rain, and some small hail will be possible. Given this morning`s heavy rain, a limited to elevated flood threat will continue, especially if additional storms move over the same areas that saw the heaviest rain this morning. Temperatures will also remain tricky this afternoon given such a sharp gradient with the rainfall and associated cloud cover. Areas west of Springfield should warm into the mid 80s without much trouble. Areas east will remain in the 60s and low 70s given rainfall and abundant cloud cover. Confidence in temperatures is lowest for the Springfield area and U.S. 65 corridor, where the gradient will be sharpest. For now haven`t made any major changes to temperatures, other than to sharpen the gradient across the central portions of the CWA. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 226 AM CDT WED SEP 17 2014 Cu/accas cloud field and area of showers/thunderstorms starting to develop between 200-230 am over east central KS into central MO in response to increased lift/isentropic ascent from approaching disturbance. Vertical shear, elevated instability, general moisture advection will continue and expected an increase in precip coverage in the near term. Best mucape values of 1000-1500 J/kg reside over the western cwfa and will support some marginally severe hail in isolated stronger updrafts into the early daylight hours. Convection will weaken late this morning as the low level/850mb flow veers/weakens. Convection in some form may last into the afternoon. Expect to see some redevelopment late today and/or tonight as the same general elevated convection scenario replays itself fairly close to the same general area it is developing now. Fog: Some areas of dense fog are noted over southern MO, mostly due to stratus build down, and expect some areas of dense fog to occur before widespread showers move in. The focus will likely be in areas along and south of the higher terrain along and south of MO Highway 60. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 226 AM CDT WED SEP 17 2014 Ongoing elevated showers/thunderstorms will likely be occurring to start the period Thursday. Rising mid level heights with an approaching ridge should suppress more widespread convection late on Thursday and Thursday night. Dry and warm weather is expected Friday. Timing is the main concern for rain/tstm chances over the upcoming weekend. Remnant weakening upper level shortwave from a tropical system is still expected to move ene into the central/southern Plains and phase with an approaching mid latitude shortwave by Saturday. 00Z guidance: ECMWF looks slower versus the GEM and GFS by about 12 hours. If the ECMWF verifies, the better chances for precip will hold off until later Saturday night-Sunday-Sunday night. GEM/GFS point more toward Sat afternoon/Saturday night. GFS ensemble looks a tad slower than operational GFS, but for now went with the cr blend, modifying onset time a bit later (Sat afternoon).

Review: The Empire, Phnom Penh
The streets behind Phnom Penh's riverside are a microcosm of the city — there's karaoke, street food, hostess bars, fast food joints, hairdressers, hotels and tailors. In all the excitement, it might be easy to overlook The Empire, a small bar and restaurant and cinema squeezed into a regular sized shopfront two blocks from the main promenade. Which may explain why there's a rather large banner outside, to make sure you can find it.
The two outside tables are perfect for whiling away an hour or so over a long lazy lunch, while inside has air-con and WiFi. There's often an expat or two at the bar, chatting with Niall, the friendly and informative host. The walls are lined with favourite cult movie posters, a nod to the bijou cinema upstairs. In the evening, the cool blue lighting and drinks specials make this a perfect place for dinner or a pre-film aperitif with nachos (which you can order into the cinema too).
The menu gives very good value for money — the Empire Curry ($5) is served up in a big clay pot and should satisfy the hungriest stomach. Even better, the daily specials take the meals into the crazy good value zone, with Mad Monday providing a 50% discount on a nominated dish. We like the recommendations of wine to accompany each Khmer menu item, and the selection of local soups and salads alongside the mains. Western tastes and steak lovers are catered for too, and there's ice-cream to completely finish you off. If you're not a wine drinker, invite the lime mint cooler to have a little party in your mouth.
Make a night of it by rolling upstairs to The Flicks 2, the riverside branch of the popular community movie house and get yourself comfy among the cushions. A good film is a great aid to digestion, and with a cover charge of $3.50 per day, not per movie, you can always stay for the second showing. Different movies show at 18:30 and 20:30 daily.

Voters in north Georgia had tired of politics as usual. They demanded something different.
Now they have it — a 9th District congressional race that, instead of ending on Tuesday, will go on and on like a painful but riveting summer soap opera.
The featured player is certain to be former state House member Tom Graves of Ranger, whose lush black hair, easy manner and tea party credentials made him the man to beat in a May 11 special election to fill out the final six months of former congressman Nathan Deal's term.
Graves walked away with 35 percent of the vote. Odds are good that he'll win the Tuesday runoff against former state senator Lee Hawkins of Gainesville, a dentist.
Under normal circumstances, the fairy tale would end there. Graves' defeated opponents would gracefully exit — offering only token, underfunded resistance leading up to a July 20 primary and a full, two-year term in Congress. (No Democrat remains in the contest.)
But we are done with politics as usual, and have shifted to politics of the bizarre — courtesy of an extended-stay motel in Calhoun, nicknamed by its current proprietor as the Methamphetamine 6. In honor of the habits of its clientele.
At the crack of Memorial Day weekend, news broke of a lawsuit filed by the Bartow County Bank, which alleged that Graves and Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock) had defaulted on a $2.2 million loan used to purchase the establishment.
The business case for the Oglethorpe Inn is unclear. But Georgia offers some tasty tax breaks for on-scene movie companies, and perhaps a series of slasher flicks was contemplated.
The 32-year-old motel and debt, Rogers and Graves say, now belong to another company owned by a fellow who wears an electronic monitor on one ankle.
Moreover, Rogers and Graves accuse the bank of reneging on a deal. The bank allegedly made a promise to two sitting state lawmakers — Graves resigned his seat this spring — that it would convert the obligation to a 2.5 percent, interest-only loan. On $2.2 million.
Take a few minutes to sort through your mortgage checks and see how your bank deal compares.
The most damaging feature of the lawsuit is the bank's accusation that Graves fraudulently transferred two properties — including his residence in Ranger — to a trust in an attempt to frustrate the bank's efforts to collect on the debt.
Graves supporters say times are hard everywhere, but especially in north Georgia — where real estate has plummeted like a red-tailed hawk on a doomed pigeon.
Graves denies any wrongdoing. "This country has a judicial system in place where business disputes like this lawsuit can be successfully and fairly resolved," he said.
But the crucible of Washington is not famous for patience.
Assume a Graves victory next Tuesday. His supporters are enthusiastic, and last-minute developments rarely have a significant impact on campaigns.
Graves will be sworn in as soon as the vote is certified. Just as quickly, a complaint against him — third parties can be found, so the author does not matter — will be lodged before a congressional ethics committee to force a speedy assessment of the facts.
Which means that regardless of what happens Tuesday, many of the combatants of the 9th District will refuse to leave the field.
Hawkins took 23 percent of the vote last month. In a statement issued Wednesday, the former senator would not concede defeat in next week's balloting . But he added this: "Mr. Graves has obviously used some very bad judgment in his financial dealings, and that controversy now apparently won't end on Tuesday regardless of who wins."
Likewise, Steve Tarvin of Dalton, a self-made textile executive, declared Graves' financial situation "unfortunate," but said he would not withdraw. Tarvin won 15 percent of the vote in May.
"I'm in it. I feel like I'm the true heart of the 9th District. I feel like in July, it's going to be a different story," Tarvin said. Of seven candidates who signed up for the July 20 contest, only two have said they would withdraw.
But none have sent the necessary notarized statement to Secretary of State Brian Kemp. As of now, all seven names will appear on the Republican ballot — a near guarantee that a runoff will push the soap opera into August.
The contest is already forcing signs of a split within Georgia's Republican delegation.
Graves has the support of U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland of Coweta County. But U.S. Rep. John Linder this week accused Graves of lying about the amount of campaigning he'd done on behalf of the Fair Tax.
Kate Monaghan, communications director for the Graves campaign, said her candidate expected a strong showing on Tuesday, equal to the vote in May. And she pointed out that U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor of Virgina, the House minority whip, endorsed Graves this week.
Monaghan singled out the dentist in Gainesville — the population center in the district is weighted toward that city — for criticism.
"Regardless of how much mud Lee Hawkins throws, the voters want a candidate who will not compromise when it comes to cutting taxes, opposing wasteful Washington spending, and creating jobs for Georgians," she said.

Graves is a slug, you can see his slimy stain on everything he's touched. He's a crook, like most in DC. Unfortunately for NW GA, the electorate always vote for these self-righteous a–holes that never have their interests in mind. Do these people not understand that a "fair tax" helps the rich by drastically increasing the tax burden on the poor?

As a resident of the 9th district, I can tell you Graves will probably win. We tend to vote for crooks and liars up here. After all, we kept electing Nathan Deal all those years. As long as somebody yells Jesus loudly enough and says he hates illegal immigrants, Muslims, gays, and Obama and loves guns, he will win, irregardless of the fact that he's a "self-righteous a-hole. And, no, WCW, the rednecks up here don't have a clue about the "fair tax." A thoughtful conservative has no chance.

Did any of you stop and think of the sudden drastic downturn of the economy. A lot of decent people got caught off gaurd financially. Get ALL THE FACTS then walk a mile before you throw you throw the first stone. Your glass houses may could still fall victim to this economy we're not out of the woods yet. It is always refreshing to see that a self proclaimed educated person is so open minded that they don't stereotype others instead of giving actual events and facts to support THIER opinions.

Two things: I live in the Ninth and was going to vote for Graves, but have no stomach for shady crooked people, so #1, how weak is this Hawkins dude if he can't capitalize on this scandal. #2, why are you sliming the other 5 people in the race calling them Methamphetime 6, seems there is only one of them involved in this scandal. Is it because they are conservative Republicans?

"Meth 6″ is the nickname of the hotel in Calhoun that Graves has defaulted on, to the tune of 2.2 million, and is a play on the chain "Motel 6″. The place is old and shady, its clientele is primarily crack heads, hence the "Meth 6." On a side note Hollister, this is what Graves calls the place, the ajc didn't come up with the nickname.
June 2nd, 2010

@ "voice of reason":
Your admonition to "get all the facts" is sound advice. One fact I would be interested in is whether you think YOU could have gotten an interest-only loan for $2 Million at the rate of 2.5%. (Oh, and by the way, this rhetorical question assumes you are not an elected member of the General Assembly).
June 2nd, 2010
10:25 pm
The one thing that leads credence to Graves and Rogers claim that Bartow County Bank lied to them about refinancing is that the bank has been under the gun from the feds to raise capital and get bad loans off the books. The bank was hit last week with a cease and desist order. The bank had told the guys that if they would continue using personal funds (not funds from the motel's revenues) to make the interest payments, they would refi the whole deal. This dragged on for months and then the bank backed out. It appears on the surface that this was a ruse by the bank to make the loan look like it was performing – so the the feds wouldn't seize the bank.

Voice of Reason – did you read the Dr. Spock book on campaigning? Do we have to build Graves' self confidence and make him feel good about himself even though he has not earned it?
Graves is accused of transferring assets he had pledged as security into a trust to shield them from creditors. How's that for living up to his own pledge of personal responsibility?
I hear that he may be facing more serious trouble as he did not disclose all of this on his federal campaign reports. Hmmm…can you say federal charges?
Of course all you kool-aide drinkers want to blame Hawkins, Galloway, the bank and everyone else except Mr. Personal Responsibility himself, Tom Graves. He's the one that borrowed money, personally guaranteed it when he was already insolvent, transferred assets to hide them and lied on campaign disclosures.
And you still try and justify it as okay and want to send him to DC? Give me a break!

This is just one of several shady deals Rogers is involved in. Like Ralph Reed, he paints himself as Mr. Clean and behind the scenes deals with some pretty sketchy people and organizations. Once all the dirt comes out on him, he'll be lucky to convince heavily Republican Cobb and Cherokee to put him back in office, much less advance him to Congress in two years like he wants.

Not a politician who could or could not fight for the rights of the people of Georgia, Not a politician per se. Not someone who can't run his own business well.

Liberal Lee Hawkins is slinging mud as fast as he can to try and distract the voters from his Obama supporting record. Go away Lee Hawkins, we have no desire for your dirty politics and false advertising.

The only one doing dirty politicking and false advertising is Tom Graves. He acts like he's so above all this when he's actually crooked as they come. They have been scrambling to find something to use against Hawkins and there isn't anything. Do you honestly believe they wouldn't use it if they had it?? Dr. Hawkins is a good guy and anybody who says otherwise obviously doesn't know him. He's not the one leaking this stuff about Graves. It's a LAWSUIT, people! The press is reporting it, not Hawkins! I was at an event the other day and somebody asked Hawkins about it and he said he wasn't going to comment on his opponents legal troubles. Said he preferred to stick to the issues. He had a chance to blast Graves in front of a whole room full of voters and he didn't do it so you people blaming this on Hawkins are full of s%&t.
June 3rd, 2010

Slimy? What do any of you expect from these Holier-than-Thou politicians who try to come off as being so respectable, so family-oriented, so ethical. Are the voters in the 9th District THAT dumb? Graves is slimy. Can't y'all tell?

This is how Hawkins runs races, he did it in his last race as well. Offers no reason to vote for him, just attacks his opponents. I eat lunch at a place with his "inner circle" of advisors, or so they think eat. So the other day after bragging to me how they were going to destroy Graves with this lawsuit (which was well before it ran in the news media mind you). I asked them if they did manage to "destroy" Graves how they were planning on beating Tarvin, that he seem to be gaining support, and he and Graves are more alike, so the Grave voters would probably go to him. THe "advisors" told me the stuff they have on Graves doesn't compare to what they have on Tarvin and some contracts, and workers he has hired. So I think Jim is right, as long as Hawkins is involved the drama will continue.

What's the difference between Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber? You can't fit an X-acto knife blade between the platforms of each of these goplet slimebags. Fair-to-billionaires' tax, check; repeal healthcare reform, check; hate the scary brown people, check; continue the same failed goplet policies that have put the economy in the dumpster, check; pander to willful ignorance, check.
And one of the candidates is accused of corruption? The only surprise there is that's it's only one. That's 9th District values for you (and I live there): make lots of noise about morals and values while you're lying, cheating, and stealing. But IOKIYAR.
June 3rd, 2010
1:03 pm
@JamesH – So far everything that is called mudslinging seems to have merit and has good chance of being true, from what I have seen. The only thing that seems to be a stretch is the CFG ad implying that Hawkins would not fight to repeal OBAMACARE. As for Tarvin, I worked with him for thirty years and have known him for 53 years. I can assure he is not worried about one truthful thing these clowns can come up with on him. Tarvin is the guy that will tell you everything that is good and bad in his life upfront. If they are talking about the company Tarvin works for, they have never held a contract with anyone, have never hired an illegal, pre-employment drug tests all applicants and you can count on one hand the people that drew unemployment in the thirty years I was involved. This could have changed in the last 3 1/2 months, but I don't think so I still have family that work there.

Jimmy Johnson, you have been drinking the Kool-Aid if you think Hawkins is a liberal. And, yes, Mr. Grumpy, as a resident of the 9th District, I can tell you the voters up here are THAT dumb. We will elect him, Another Crook, as the succesor to "Sleazy Deal." We love our politicians sleazy, unethical, and dishonest as long as they say they are conservative and have "family values."

Today, Graves claims the place is a charity for needy families referred by his church. The school system has indicated funds have been paid for their referrals (where's the charity?). I personally detest this man, and have nothing for any of these ultra conservative christians either, they're nothing but revival-showboat con artists.

Simply amazing, Tom Graves "Tea Party Candidate" is endorsed mostly by main stream Republican Party. Lee Hawkins "Main Sream Republican Candidate" seeks endorsement from Tea Party Groups, asking "What do I need to do?" I quest

Well just be sure to make it to the polls Monday and put your vote where your mouth is, no matter who you vote for or all of this arguing is for not. Remember a lot of brave Americans all through history have died to give us this opportunity don't let anything keep you from participating.

Sounds like Graves is the perfect candidate for the job. Already knows how to borrow and spend somebody else's money using his political connections.. with no intent to repay it.

Tim Tebow just isn't ready for prime time
Source: The Oklahoman - Aug 24, 2011 at 3:03 PM
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Nobody's questioning Tim Tebow's character or work ethic, just his readiness. The Denver Broncos have concluded he's not set to start in the NFL, but that doesn't mean they're ready to cut ties with him. The latest twist in Denver's summer soap opera is rampant speculation that the Broncos will try to trade or even waive the second-year pro from Florida whose popularity still trumps his polish. That doesn't make sense either financially or football-wise. He's the only quarterback on the roster who's under contract after this season. Read more on NewsOK.com

Coming to television for the first time ever in an animated series, the Cat in the Hat whisks pre-schoolers off on a voyage of scientific discovery. "The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!" features six-year-olds Sally & Nick, best friends and next door neighbors, who are transported on magical journeys to all corners of the globe where the natural world becomes their playground.

In each episode, Sally and Nick head off with the Cat in his one-of-a-kind custom vehicle, the Thinga-ma-jigger, a quintessentially Seussian contraption that instantly transforms from plane to boat to submarine with just a flick of the jigger-ma-whizzer or a honk of the shrinkamadoodle.

America's Agricultural Workforce: Theory vs. Reality
September 27, 2010 - Posted by Maurice Belanger
Last week, the House Immigration Subcommittee held a hearing, "Protecting America's Harvest." The focus of the hearing was the agricultural workforce,
The debate was largely between theory and reality.
Republicans represented the theoretical view that, as Lamar Smith from Texas put it, "for every illegal immigrant removed, an opportunity is created for an American to be employed." In this view, all that is needed is for immigration laws to be enforced. Then, all unemployed Americans would have jobs, farmers would have workers, and everyone would live happily ever after.
Pitted against this view was the reality that, despite various efforts to recruit them, not enough Americans are willing to do agricultural work, and so American agriculture has become dependent on foreign labor, largely undocumented. This view was represented by Arturo Rodriguez, of United Farm Workers and the "Take Our Jobs" campaign. The campaign is really an effort to call the bluff of those who hold the theoretical view. In more than three months of effort, that project has placed seven American workers who have stayed with their farm jobs.
Take Our Jobs is only the most recent experiment to test the theory that enough Americans can be recruited to fill out our agricultural workforce. In the late 1990's, after Congress passed welfare reform, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) insisted on establishment of a program to try to place persons receiving welfare into farm jobs in California. Despite high unemployment, fewer than five workers were successfully placed. (It was this experiment that made Senator Feinstein a supporter of the Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits, and Security Act (AgJOBS).)
Another recurring theme of the hearing: there would be plenty of Americans doing farm work if only the pay and working conditions were better.
Phil Glaize, a witness who owns an apple orchard and who represented grower advocates for AgJOBS, noted that he pays his workers more than they can make "flipping burgers," and still he must rely on foreign workers. Congresswomen Judy Chu (D-CA) noted that there are plenty of Americans employed in jobs paying lower wages, yet they aren't deterred from those jobs.
The star of the hearing was Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert, who testified of his experience working on a farm in upstate New York for a day. He (along with Phil Glaize) warned us of the consequences we will face if we believe too much in the theory and don't pay attention to the reality: "I'm a big believer in the free market," he said,
"but the invisible hand of the market has moved 84,000 acres of crops to Mexico. Apparently the invisible hand of the market doesn't want to pick beans either."
Something good may come out of this hearing. Several of the Republican members spoke of the poor wages and working conditions of agricultural workers. Picking up on that theme, Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), who chairs the subcommittee, concluded the hearing by saying that she might introduce a bill that would strengthen legal protections for farmworkers—making sure they have the right to organize, that they can obtain unemployment compensation, and that they receive at least the minimum wage. She said that she hoped that her Republican colleagues, who "spoke so passionately" about the poor conditions farmworkers must endure, would join her in the endeavor.
