Product Description
Praise for Ranchero
"Gritty, earthy and often hilarious… The irresistible Ranchero has the humor of a tall tale told by Mark Twain."
--The Wall Street Journal
"A very colorful trip … Gavin turns out phrase after phrase of ear-pleasing insight into the Delta and those who live there, and dialogue that sounds just right… And when Gavin waxes funny, he really is funny, with enough comedic situations to keep everyone laughing as Reid tries to recover the Ranchero."
--The Associated Press
"In his debut, Rick Gavin offers a comic romp through the Mississippi Delta, "less a place than a boot on your neck," where eccentricities thrive, pathetic criminals flourish and the absurd can pass for the norm… Gavin's eye for the odd turns out dark, slapstick humor akin to Tim Dorsey's Serge A. Storm novels and Ben Rehder's series set in Blanco County, Texas... Gavin's fine eye for details, his compassion for humanity and his dark sense of humor make Ranchero work… Gavin's dialogue is Elmore Leonard-perfect."
--South Florida Sun-Sentinel on Ranchero
"This first novel from Gavin is a little miracle. The dialogue is pitch-perfect…. One of the most enjoyable crime debuts in a very long time."
--Booklist (starred review)
"Gavin's first novel is a sure winner. Reminiscent of Tim Dorsey's "Serge Storms" series but with a more likable protagonist, it will appeal to down-home good old boys and their armchair counterparts. Recommended."
--Library Journal (starred review)
"Full of inspired comic hyperbole, Gavin's rollicking debut does for the Mississippi Delta what Tim Dorsey and Carl Hiaasen do for Florida… Readers will eagerly await Reid's next adventure in the Delta."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Rick Gavin brings a true ear for dialogue and his gifts as a literary stylist to this series debut. A kick-ass backcountry novel."
--New York Times bestselling author Randy Wayne White

It's one of the funniest and most absorbing books I've read in ages.
Protagonist Nick Reid, the low level band of criminals he pursues in his quest to retrieve his insistent landlady's dead husband's cherished titular vehicle in same shape she lent it to him, and the various sordid venues he pursues them through, all left me thoroughly entertained and hoping to see future adventures for Reid and company.
I do have to disagree with one reviewer's assessment of it as parody. I'm a lifetime resident of rural western NC and Ranchero's motley assortment of characters rang, sometimes pleasantly and other times disturbingly, true for me. As always, your mileage may vary, but I highly recommend this ride.
K-Lo - sitting on the couch (the description of that couch!) getting drunk while singing Bing Crosby (so not what you'd expect from K-Lo). That's when Nick is coming in to borrow some money and get the rifle - without K-Lo noticing, because of his temper. Meanwhile, as is the norm for the Delta, K-Lo is about to get robbed. " ....and one wiry older guy whose job apparently was to wonder why nobody was doing what he'd asked them to do." and "...so there wasn't anything to pry or saw, nothing to draw or cut. Those boys might as well have brought a sugar spoon."
Then Nick sends K-Lo home. "Me and Angie helped him to his Civic and got him situated behind the wheel. We pointed him right and sent him off like he was in the Soap Box Derby. He lurched upon the curbing as he left the shopping plaza." "Will he make it?" Angie asked me. "Always does," I said.
You know, I'm not sure the quotes do it justice because they're without context. It's hard to fully appreciate them without knowing what's come before and after that completes or adds to the picture. Pearl, who "insists" stuff on everyone, especially her deceased husband's clothes - the use of "insists" in this context - what better way to convey that she's always trying to give things to the people to the point of annoyance?
Luther, drug dealer quite impressed with himself who fails to see the absurdity of his observations and behavior - and when we're first introduced to him, takes any excuse to show off his cowboy boots. After coming in contact with Pearl, he becomes taken with the silk blazers and tap shoes she insists on him. "Pearl, as it turned out, was in insisting heaven. Luther was naturally primed to steal everything she had, and Pearl was possessed of a burning need to hand all of it over."
So she gives him a few )vintage) seersucker jackets and then some coveralls, until he's wearing coveralls, an old dinner jacket, and tap shoes. "Luther had gotten busy putting on his own spontaneous fashion show. He was twirling around in the driveay, raising clatter with his taps. He kept inviting us to admire his suit coat and the way it draped and hung." Luther - small time drug dealer who thinks he's a big time, very smart guy.
Later on, with more 'crackers' at Pearl's, they're all rummaging in the closet. I'd quote the paragraph but it's a little on the long side, as Nick describes what each is wearing and what they looked like. But now knowing the personalities of these goobers, you can just see them exclaiming over and trying on these clothes like a bunch of 5 year old girls let loose in their mother's vintage clothes they've found in the attic.
Eugene and Tommy - who spend an inordinate amount of time arguing about what bait works best and who caught the most, and then move straight into arguing about women, get to tussling, and roll off the porch straight into the bayou. Eugene's house has a wall made of doors and the roof is made of upside down signs, like the one that says "Mowing Ahead."
Oh there's action too. The whole thing with Guy, the Acadian f*** stick, (as they call him) is great. I can't pick a favorite character. They're all so well developed, all so wacky. Luther in the back of Desmond's car, sitting on Calvin, who Desmond and Nick had seized from a BBQ place while Luther was busy ordering ribs, is now in the back of the Geo sitting on Calvin, not carrying where he drips the sauce. "Luther removed one of Gil's tap shoes and beat Calvin on his cowlick until Calvin grew meek and finally shut up" (because he got all "drug-lordy" on them). A bit later "Luther tapped Calvin on top of his head because the moment impressed him as fitting."
Wait til Luther discovers the taser. He's in more joy than Percy Dwayne is with K-Lo's gun that has rubber bullets in it.
Nick knows how ridiculous his captives sound and so does Desmond (his friend and partner in tracking down Gil's stolen car Nick borrowed), and the reader does, too. And Nick views his own periodic ineptitude with a rather sardonic view, though he's much more competent than he thinks. But Luther, Eugene, Tommy, Percy Dwayne, Calvin, Dale, and Guy haven't a clue how little sense they make or how completely illogical their thought processes or behavior are.
This is a laugh-out-loud book with brilliant imagery. You're there. What also makes this book so great is how it continues to build on itself, situation by situation. And Gavin is brilliant with his words, his descriptions. He's got a fresh and funny way of relating the scene. I loved this book - as soon as he writes another one, I'm jumping on it.
As fun as that is, the star of the whole escapade, however, is the setting. With a personality as idiosyncratic as any character, the Mississippi Delta feels simultaneously familiar and alien, as if you've discovered that that really cool and unusual house in town turns out to secretly serve as headquarters for a cretin-breeding operation. For those of us forced to lay claim to more than a little flinty New Englander in our own cultural genetics, the Mississippi Delta may as well be from another galaxy. Gavin's novel, in large measure, functions not only as a wild ride but also an instructive tour worthy of firing up a little Google Earth for the visual. Nick's take on the locals, through Gavin's finely focused lens, reveals an authentic intimacy with the regional culture few writers can pull off. Gavin successfully balances a truly unvarnished and forthright assessment of the local color without tipping over into patronizing, mean-spirited mockery--no small feat. And Ranchero is funny as hell the whole way, terrific from start to finish. Curl up on your own "ugly sofa" and have at it. Your only regret will be that it ended.

Skip to comments.Defeat of healthcare law would erode voters trust in Supreme Court (LibSpin)
Posted on 06/18/2012 8:40:56 AM PDT by pabianice
Every political strategist working the fall elections sees a game changer coming by the end of the month.
Thats when the Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of President Obamas signature legislative accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act.
The Democrats have a nuclear option in this political game if the high court throws out the healthcare law as unconstitutional.
That blowup-the-system button, not pushed since FDRs attempt to stack the court with Democrats during the New Deal, is for Obama to use the bully pulpit of the White House, and the national stage of a presidential campaign, to launch a bitter attack on the current court as a corrupt tool of the Republican right wing.
It is a move that could energize Democrats and independents even as Republicans celebrate a major legal victory.
Some Democrats, sensing a political windfall, cant wait to start the offensive.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
Wouldn't surprise me. He'll burn the house down if he doesn't win.
Figures they would have it exactly bass ackwards.
If they don't rule it unconstitutional, there is no reason to trust them.
Williams is clearly mentally challenged. Uber-Liberals Ginsberg and Kagan rule, that's admirable judicial temperment. Thomas or Scalia rule, that's insane political activism. How far we've fallen after 45 years of diseased Liberal mis-education.
This isn't even debatable. It's unconstitutional. Any ruling to the contrary will be a travesty and more proof that the SC is becoming overly political.
Juan is a tool.
No, it will be a great relief if struck down.
No, it won't.
However, if they uphold this communist crap, I will never consider, obey or respect anything else they or the rest of the US federal communists do again.
Defeat of healthcare law would erode voters trust in Supreme Court???...Huh?
Only for whack left socialist liberals who don't give a crap about the Constitution...
I dare say that if it is not held unconstitutional, that the Republic is no more in fact, not just in words. And as such, I would say that any and all means necessary to protect ourselves is warranted.
Left out of Guano Williams' column were the filthy, corrupt practices utilized by Hussein, Dingy Harry, and Nazi Pelosi. No hearings, written in secret, never read by members, shady parliamentary subterfuges, opposed then as now by a significant majority of Americans, dozens of bribes and special cutouts. Oh, and Obamacare does not apply to Congress or senior pols. Yes, there are two Americas.
Thomas Jefferson, America's third President:
"On every question of construction [of the Constitution] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or intended against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." - -Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823
Given Jefferson's declaration concerning the method of approaching constitutional interpretation, and given all we can glean from explanations by Madison, Jay and Hamilton in the 85 essays of THE FEDERALIST, as well as the writings and speeches of those who debated and ratified the Constitution, can anyone believe that the Democrats' imposition of the so-called "health care" bill is consistent with the "spirit" of individual liberty of the Framers of our Constitution?
"Agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise." - Thomas Jefferson
"The enviable condition of the people of the United States is often too much ascribed to the physical advantages of their soil & climate .... But a just estimate of the happiness of our country will never overlook what belongs to the fertile activity of a free people and the benign influence of a responsible government." - James Madison
These, and all the other writings and speeches of the founding period, as well as the vast explosion of freedom, opportunity, innovation, productivity, and liberty for oppressed people from all over the world under the influence of "a free people and the benign influence of" a limited and "chained" government power, should indicate to all of us today that a Supreme Court who, individually, have studied the principles of the document they are using as a measuring tool for this massive power grab commonly called "obamacare," will in no wise believe that a single Framer of the Constitution would affirm its legitimacy.
Considering that Obie and the congress have record low approval ratings I don't think the Supremes are the problem. But don't try to point that out to a liberal - they're impervious to the obvious.
Just suck it.
Simply, that.
Just suck it.
Ha! During the last national election, I worked at a survey center. NO 'self-identified Democrat' that I surveyed knew what a 'supreme court justice' WAS or could name one. Neither could they say what these individuals DID once you gave them the names!!
Believe me... Liberal voters are dumb as dirt and twice as common!
As 70% or so of the US population dislikes this rammed down our throats legislation, I would guess that overturning it would INCREASE respect for the Supreme Court.
Where do they get this kinda junk spin??????
The Demos are accustomed to the SCOTUS giving a rubber stamp approval to all things leftist. They will go nutz when SCOTUS denies them a "right"
Back before Alito and Roberts were on the court when O Conner was siding 5-4 with Dem SCOTUS appointees on great decisions like : making homo-sodomy a US constitutional privacy right, the liberal/MSM dogma was that ANY criticism of the court undermines the 'rule of law'.
Now that the SCOTUS no longer does their bidding their new dogma is : "Overturning any law that we supported undermines the 'rule of law'.
Hypocrisy??? Sure but libs write the rules of 'fairness' and Republicans are not good at throwing their own words (doo-doo) back in their faces, unlike me.
How did that work for them in Wisconsin? Most people think Obama's monster should be overturned. Throwing a mass tantrum isn't going to change that.
Had Obamadamadingdong and Nazi Pelosi not ram rodded this monster through congress, without even letting anyone read it and debate it...had they had the respect for the constiutional government not to buy off votes to pass it...had it been debated and examined like normal in the Congress and in the media...it would not be at the Supreme Court today.
The Democrats have gone a long way to wreck every institution of society with their hateful, disrespectful, corrupt, radical, unconstitutional ideology.
Wasn't this published about 3 weeks ago?
Not like any of the Supremes really care what an online ezine is saying about them anyway.
The voters have NO confidence in the integrity of the SC, and haven't since the 60s.
Ruling Obamacare unconstitutional would do a lot to begin the healing.
Why wouldn't it "erode trust" in the tyranical regime that passed the bill without knowing or revealing what was in it?
The GOP better get off of their dead butt's and have a plan for making this case loud and clear!
The voters don't have a lot of confidence in the 'rule of law' period, since the current administration seems to have no regard for it. The trampling of the Constitution, blatant disregard for immigration laws, and the outright criminal activity is really appalling. The system of checks and balances has completely failed.
"...can anyone believe that the Democrats' imposition of the so-called "health care" bill is consistent with the "spirit" of individual liberty...?"
Way to preach to the choir. I'm curious, do you convert many democrats over?
Nothing directed at you, but I think a lot of people (me included) here like to preach-post to people who already mostly agree with them. It makes the poster feel good, which is fine, but does almost nothing to bring in new conservative voters or convert less conservative, established voters over.
Remember, when we post here, we are simply posting to an echo chamber.
I absolutely agree with your assessment.
No joke. Obama can't take the credit for starting it. I give that to FDR, although perhaps it started earlier. But he sure is trying to put the final touches to it.
You may be correct in your description that we are preaching to "the choir." My own reading of the thoughtful posts and contributions of others over a number of years, however, has been a learning experience and a sharing of information which helps to equip each and all of us who want to preserve the ideas of liberty as we engage in the great battle of ideas.
While there may seem to be an "echo chamber" at times, posters display a great diversity of opinion and analysis that is healthy.
In addition to that, there are "lurkers" whose views have been formed by their schools or previous experience--views which are diametrically opposed to those of most Freepers. Perhaps they, upon reading such concise founding-era quotations about our Constitution, about life, liberty, rights, and laws to protect them, may be curious enough decide to compare those words with the dogma and propaganda of their professors and Party leaders.
"Sharing" information about sources for the underpinning ideas of our nation's Declaration of Independence and Constitution with others who may be able to use that information in their own responses to the Left's challenges seems to help to multiply the efforts of all of us, especially some who are "opinion makers" in their communities and state or national connections.
Bring it on! The majority of the people want it thrown out, so I hope the Dems go on the attack!
Dear Juan,
Here is my answer to you, it is a bit out dated, but the sentiment remains:
When this health care for all crap passes, right now the legislation states that it will be illegal to sell private policies over the date of passage. It also says that HSAs will no longer be allowed. That means that my current policy will no longer be allowed and neither I nor my employer will be allowed to privately purchase an alternative.
I will not accept the public option that I will be dictated to join. I will not give the government control over my physical body. I will not pay their fines, I will not surrender to the impending warrant for my arrest. When they knock on my door, I will not answer. When they kick it in, I will make the news.
Hows that for unification, libtards? You loons are currently legislating my death. I will chose the terms and I will bring as many of you along as possible!
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
SCOTUS will overturn this just to ream it up Obama's nose : )
Thanks pabianice.
"Erode voters' trust in the Supreme Court..."
Which voters? The ones who want to inflict their costs on everyone else or the ones who feel that some sane individual should at least be held partially responsible for risks taken?
I think the court did that long ago in Roe v. Wade.

MAGNETICALLY IMPLODED METAL FOILS10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754869View Description Hide Description
VISUAL OBSERVATION OF FERROELECTRIC DOMAINS IN TGS10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754870View Description Hide Description
A ferroelectric triglycine sulfate crystal was illuminated by an intense CW laser beam; light scattered by the crystal at right angles to the beam was observed visually and photographed. The visible scattering column was found to be crossed by a series of bright lines oriented parallel to the ferroelectric axis whose appearance under various electric field and temperature conditions strongly suggest that they correspond to boundaries of ferroelectric domains. It therefore appears that this technique will permit direct observation of domain dynamics which, in the past, has been possible only with indirect techniques.
SINGLE‐FREQUENCY LIGHT FROM AN ARGON FM LASER10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754871View Description Hide Description
An experiment is described in which 350 mW of single‐frequency light at 5145 Å was obtained using an argon FM laser with an external LiNbO3modulator. Data on overall conversion efficiency from multifrequency to single‐frequency light are presented. Also discussed is the reduction in distortion with increasing optical power. Total sideband content was less than 0.125% of the maximum optical power, corresponding to an ac ripple of 3.5% rms.
DETECTOR PROPERTIES OF PHOTON‐MODULATED TUNNELING10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754872View Description Hide Description
The use of photon‐modulated tunneling for photodetection is demonstrated in a structure of Te–Al2O3–Al. Compared with the response of the Te alone, measured in situ, the tunnel‐barrier device is much faster; the detectivity and the spectral response are similar.
SPACE‐CHARGE‐LIMITED CURRENTS IN HIGH‐RESISTIVITY p‐TYPE SILICON10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754873View Description Hide Description
Space‐charge‐limited currents were studied on p‐type silicon in the resistivity range from 10000–50000 Ω·cm. I vs Vcharacteristics showed regions where the current was proportional to V, Vn (1 < n < 2), V 2, V 3 and to exp V, depending upon the applied field strength. Hall measurements were taken over the entire current range. Due to the large lifetime, a minority carrier space charge is built up at low values of an electric field. Further increases of the applied field lead to double injection.
LOW‐ENERGY ELECTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF EPITAXIAL GROWTH OF SILVER AND GOLD IN ULTRAHIGH VACUUM10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754874View Description Hide Description
The occurrence of epitaxialgrowth of single‐crystal films of silver and gold has been found to depend critically on exposure of the substrate surface to an electron beam prior to deposition. Single‐crystal films with a (100)∥(100), (100)∥(100) orientation were produced on irradiation surfaces at low supersaturation levels in the absence of contaminating gases. It is proposed that the controlled production of point defects on the clean surface play a critical role in the nucleation and growth required for epitaxy.
A NEW CLASS OF LOW‐PRESSURE ARC COLUMNS WITH POSITIVE V‐I CHARACTERISTICS10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754875View Description Hide Description
This Letter reports a new class of arc columns in the torr‐pressure range which in a wide range of voltages are voltage‐determined. The arc columns consist of mixtures of some noble gas seeded with tiny amounts of alkali vapor (pressure about 3 × 10−4 torr). At a certain critical current a very strong rise, by a factor of 4 or more, in column gradient occurs, accompanied by very striking visual changes in the column. An explanation in terms of the concept of ``donor depletion'' is given, the ``donor'' atoms being the alkali atoms. Possibilities for practical applications are mentioned.
ENHANCEMENT IN A Ho3+–Yb3+ QUANTUM COUNTER BY ENERGY TRANSFER10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754876View Description Hide Description
In all the infrared quantum counter systems reported to date, a single rare‐earth ion dopant was used as the activator. This limits the optimum concentration to about 1%, since above this value nonradiative processes begin to dominate. In order to increase the number of ions which can absorb the infrared signal Yb3+ was used as a sensitizer. By making use of the energy transfer from Yb3+ to Ho3+ the green quantum counter fluorescence was increased by more than two orders of magnitude.
HIGH‐FIELD HALL EFFECT OF SEMICONDUCTING CdS10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754877View Description Hide Description
Hall voltage and conductivity of semiconducting CdS crystals with different mobilities have been measured at high pulsed electric fields. The electron density is nearly constant in a wide range of field which includes the field of current saturation. At fields above 2.1 × 103 V/cm, electron multiplication due to impact ionization is observed. In the case of an electric field parallel to the c axis of the crystal, the Hall drift velocity at the saturation field is determined by the interaction of electrons with off‐axis shear waves of sound.
MEASUREMENT OF PHOTON ABSORPTION LOSS IN THE ACTIVE AND PASSIVE REGIONS OF A SEMICONDUCTOR LASER10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754878View Description Hide Description
A technique is described for measuring the photon absorption coefficients in the active and passive regions of an electron‐beam‐pumped semiconductor laser. Measurements made at 4°K on n‐type, single‐crystal GaAs indicate that photon loss in the active region is due to free carrier absorption, and that this absorption coefficient increases linearly from 2.5 cm−1 to 47 cm−1 as donor concentration is varied from 2.4 × 1017 cm−3 to 4.7 × 1018 cm−3. For each case the active region absorption coefficient is less than that measured in the passive region, which varies from 354 cm−1 to 98 cm−1 over the same range of donor concentrations. The increased loss in the passive region is attributed to interband absorption transitions.
A MECHANISM FOR DAMAGE IN SOLIDS BY INTENSE LIGHT10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754879View Description Hide Description
Electronavalanche due to intraband optical absorption is discussed as a mechanism responsible for laser induced damage in certain insulating crystals.
SYNTHETIC PROUSTITE (Ag3AsS3): A NEW CRYSTAL FOR OPTICAL MIXING10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754880View Description Hide Description
Proustite (Ag3AsS3), a new acentric crystal for optical mixing, has been synthesized as large transparent single crystals. It is uniaxial, having point group symmetry 3m. Proustite transmits from 0.6 to 13 μm, and has a large negative birefringence (n 0 − nE ∼ 0.2). Using second‐harmonic generation from a 1.152‐μm laser, we estimate the nonlinear coefficients to be and . New optical mixing possibilities arise from the exceptionally wide range of processes that can be phase‐matched and the large nonlinear coefficients.
EFFECTS OF CHEMISORBED OXYGEN ON THE ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF CHEMICALLY SPRAYED CdS THIN FILMS10(1967); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1754881View Description Hide Description
The Hall mobility μ and conduction electron concentration n of semiconducting, spray‐deposited CdSthin films are both reduced by chemisorbed oxygen, the former by a larger factor than the latter. The temperature dependence of n is not affected by chemisorption whereas that of μ is changed from practically no dependence on temperature to a thermally activated dependence. This change is attributed to additional scattering introduced by the chemisorbed ions.

Heart Letter Match
My son has been asking how to spell things lately so today I grabbed the alphabet stickers and let him at it. Peeling the stickers are great fine motor practice and having to sort through the letters are a challenge even for a preschooler who knows all them.
1. Gather your materials. You will need some construction paper, marker, some stickers and if you like a cookie cutter as a stencil.
2.Start by tracing your hearts and writing a letter in each heart.
3.Start searching for letters!
4.Find them and stick them on!
5. Celebrate when your child has found them all!

Alone Yet Not Alone, the title track from a little-seen historical drama, has been disqualified from the best original song category at this year's Oscars, which has caused almost as much shock as its being nominated in the first place.
Bruce Broughton, the song's writer and a long-serving big noise within the Academy, sent an email to fellow voters to "make them aware" his work was in the running for an Oscar. This fell foul of the Academy's rules on campaigning on two counts. Generally speaking, you can be as cloying, crass and manipulative as you like, as long as you don't do it in an official Academy capacity, or via post, telephone or email.
Desperation in itself is not a problem, and Oscar nominees are free to run personal campaigns if they feel they are otherwise being overlooked. In 2011, Melissa Leo, nominated for her unglamorous role in The Fighter, took out a series of adverts in the trade press in which she was pictured posing in various evening gowns and faux-fur capes, beneath the single word 'Consider…'. She went on to win best supporting actress.
Desperation transmitted person-to-person, on the other hand, is a no-no. In 2010, Nicolas Chartier, one of the producers of The Hurt Locker, urged fellow voters by email to choose his low-budget war thriller over "a $500m film": i.e. the science-fiction epic Avatar. Chartier made a grovelling apology but was still banned from the ceremony, where The Hurt Locker went on to win best picture.
Melissa Leo's self-financed Oscar campaign
The rules were tightened following a mini-scandal in 2003, when Robert Wise, a former Academy president, wrote in the Los Angeles Daily News that the best picture and best director Oscars should go to Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. He was quoted by Miramax in their advertising campaign, until it came to light that the piece to which Wise had (entirely willingly) put his name had in fact been written by a Miramax publicist.
Outraged voters asked the Academy to return their ballots, but by the time the article's provenance was revealed, it was too late. (Although in the end, it came to nothing: the best picture Oscar was won by Chicago, and Roman Polanski was named best director, for The Pianist.) Perhaps Broughton should have waited another week before sending his email – or, failing that, borrowed Melissa Leo's evening gown.

When the AT&T monopoly was broken up in 1984 by antitrust regulators, it was divided into seven Bell operating companies. After this merger, there will be three companies. The new AT&T will become the nation's dominant phone company, controlling more than half the telephone and Internet access lines in the U.S.
In many ways, the new AT&T will be even stronger than the old Ma Bell because today's company competes in many more markets, including business and consumer data services and paid television. And therein lies the problem. A supersize AT&T, some worry, could have the ability to jack up wholesale line-leasing rates it charges to smaller carriers--a cost that would ultimately be passed on to consumers.
"When you create an entity that is this large, it makes future competition impossible," said Mark Cooper, research director for the Consumer Federation of America.
Certainly, such fears are tempered by the notion that the telecommunications industry has changed in the past 20 years. New phone competitors such as the cable TV operators have emerged, giving most Americans at least two choices for their broadband and phone services.
But as the cliche goes, the devil will be in the details of this $80 billion deal, which was first announced in March. Department of Justice and state regulators have already approved the merger, and the question now is what restrictions the Federal Communications Commission will place on the newly minted AT&T.
On Thursday, the five-member commission, which is split on the issue along party lines, delayed a vote on the merger. A fifth commissioner, a Republican named Robert McDowell, has a potential swing vote. But he has recused himself, because before joining the commission last June, he represented an industry group strongly opposed to the merger. Now, there's speculation that the general counsel for the FCC may instruct McDowell to un-recuse himself to break the deadlock.
"The most likely scenario is that McDowell will be asked to vote," said Blair Levin, who was chief of staff for former FCC Chairman Reed Hundt and is now a telecommunications industry analyst for Stifel, Nicolaus & Company. "And that will certainly change the negotiation and move things closer to an end game."
McDowell hasn't indicated publicly how he might vote if asked to participate, but some people believe his previous relationship with companies opposed to the merger has backed him into a corner.
"I'm quite certain he would prefer not to vote on this merger," Levin said. "But if he does vote, I'm sure there will be people on either side that criticize him for whichever way he votes."
Behind-the-scenes dominance At first glance, the AT&T and BellSouth merger doesn't appear to affect consumers directly. The companies offer telephone and DSL service in different regions of the country. And only in a few instances do they compete head-to-head for business customers, due to last year's merger between long-distance carrier AT&T and local phone company SBC Communications.
Instead, consumers will likely feel the impact of the merger indirectly, because a combined AT&T and BellSouth will have more control over the wholesale communications market. Together, AT&T and BellSouth would control more than half the access telephone infrastructure in the United States.
Why would that be a problem? Infrastructure companies such as EarthLink must lease lines to provide competitive broadband service. Since the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the government has regulated pricing and access to this infrastructure. But over the past decade, the FCC has steadily scaled back its regulation, leaving the phone companies to negotiate unregulated commercial rates directly with their competitors.
Opponents to the merger fear that a bigger AT&T could use its newfound dominance in the wholesale access market to jack up rates, forcing out of business competitors that use its so-called local access loops. And fewer competitors would mean fewer choices for consumers, they argue.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — On the heels of a tumultuous Republican convention, Hillary Clinton hopes her gathering in Philadelphia will show off a forward-looking Democratic Party united behind her steady leadership. But to do that, she must overcome lingering bitterness among supporters of defeated rival Bernie Sanders and a political mess and last-minute leadership shake-up of the party's own making.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Thousands of demonstrators are taking to Philadelphia's sweltering streets Sunday, cheering, chanting and beating drums in the first major protests ahead of the Democratic National Convention, as the city wilts during a heat wave.

I am looking for a flooring solution for my home gym I want something astatically pleasing but that I can put a treadmill on and do weight training/cross fit style training. Suggestions on a product that would fit this
Our Premium HD Soft Tiles are a high density foam tile that can handle a treadmill on of it. These tiles are also absorbent enough to handle weight training and cross fit style training as well. Since these tiles are made of foam, there is potential for the tiles to become indented due to the weight of the treadmill. Also with these being tiles, some exercises could cause the tiles to separate which can cause a trip hazard. The best products that we have for what you are looking for would be our rubber products. Our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls and our 3/8" Heavy Duty Rubber Rolls would be able to handle the treadmills weight with ease and are also better able to handle most cross fit and weight training exercises.

The room was of a good size, high ceilings and aircon. It was clean and comfortable. Wifi is included and the only down side we found is that is is rather noisy outside. If you're a light sleeper (as my wife is) you will struggle with this.
