"There is more verve and more variety in Patchen's work than in any other living American's entire output. No more ringing protests and no more passionate love poems have been written in our time."
-Louis Untermeyer
"In my eyes Kenneth Patchen is now and will remain one of the outstanding figures in American letters. He represents all that a poet should represent, whether expressing himself in verse, in prose, in paint, or in action. . . . Patchen stands out like a shining warrior, a herald of peace and truth, endowed with invincible heart and integrity. No one can read him without being affected-and influenced in his own life and work. It is not only the youth who are indebted to him but all of us, even unto the last and most fanatically ardent defender of the Word."
-Henry Miller
"These [the love poems of When We Were Here Together] are grave, serious, immeasurably touching poems. They compare very favora-bly with the love poems of Paul Eluard or Rafael Alberti. In other words, they are amongst the very few poems of their kind, written by an American." -Kenneth Rexroth

Use setuptools more aggressively for templates

Locating templates provides the major source of my problems in setting up new django sites from a source checkout. Since most of my templates are closely associated with the python code in the apps it makes sense for me to use setuptools' resource location abilities to find templates.
For example in myproject/settings/admin.py:
from pkg_resources import resource_filename
resource_filename('django.conf', 'admin_templates')
It would be really nice if this approach was encouraged as it would remove most of the problems for first time users setting up their sites. In fact, if django tried a set of standard locations for templates using resource_filename it should allow people to setup django sites easily just by checking out python modules and adding them to the INSTALLED_APPS. For example myproject/apps/myapp/templates could be a useful default. PS this issue gets a submitter-just-drank-5-pints-of-guinness rating in terms of coherence, try me tomorrow for more elaboration.

Just searching through sitename.apps.appname.templates and sitename.templates would be nice. Though, the former might require the kind of introspection I was decrying in {122}. :)
comment:3 Changed 11 years ago by Matthew Good <trac@…>
Yes! I just did this on my config and was going to submit a ticket of my own. Using resource_filename is ok as long as the templates are not in a zipped EGG although it's recommended to use the resource_string to read resources directly from the EGG. So, it may be good for the template loader to have a mechanism for loading templates via pkg_resources. See http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs#accessing-package-resources
comment:4 Changed 11 years ago by rjwittams
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
This seems to be resolved with the new template loading framework : templates can be loaded out of an egg or an app.
Reopen if you feel this still an issue.

I need to find the replacement for the deprecated items in java. I found some description in javadoc about each and every deprecated items. But it's not sufficient.
To be more specific => I need to do a java program, which can read a java file and should replace the deprecated items used(if any) in that given java file and should replace the deprecated items with the appropriate replacement.
Is there any other source to find it?
Is there any third party API's available to give the replacement for the deprecated itms?
Is there any options available in eclipse to do this? -> I mean for example in the problems console of eclipse, we can able to find the warnings for the deprecated items used. Likewise, is there anything in eclipse which can show the replacement of the deprecated items in the project,
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance,

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, Nev. - Residents of Battle Mountain raised their armpits with pride in a tribute to their town and underarms everywhere.
About 2,000 people turned out over the weekend for the community's second annual "Festival in the Pit" - a takeoff from Battle Mountain being named the "Armpit of America" by a Washington Post reporter in 2001.
This year's festival was sponsored by Old Spice, the maker of men's deodorant and cologne.
Events included an Old Spice deodorant toss and armpit beauty contest, as well as the more traditional amusements of hot air balloon rides, bed races, mud bogs and team roping competitions.
Lander County Commissioner Mickey Yarbaro called the three-day festival the most successful event in the town's history.
Besides that, he said, it "captured the spirit of the town and brought the residents together to show how fun, interesting and wonderful an armpit can be."

This sucks! Here we go already.
Wally Pipp?
This is why We should have unloaded him.While his value is high,We couldnt agree to a contract with him,Hunter Morris is waiting and winning awards in the minors ( and a LH hitter at that)Hide replies
Hart's value is still plenty high, now he's just a little easier to resign.
"Couldn't agree to a contract with him?" I don't even think they had contract discussions. Hart is getting expensive and will be 32 at the end of his deal. MKE is probably waiting for Hunter to see if they need to look for a Hart extension. Let's hope Morris has a great 2013 in Nashville.
That's true. This injury might make it a little easier to sign Corey to an extension.
send him to Andrews.
Corey has been great, but it's always something with him in the offseason/spring training time of year: eye issues, knee, etc. Best wishes on a speedy recovery, we need you at 1B!
He looked real slow last year and I am sure the knee was not right all year. Minors through the majors I don't like the way Brewers handle injuries and dislike more how they hide them.Hide replies
If the Brewers are hiding Hart's bad knee, they're doing a lousy job of pulling it off with 2 surgeries in 2 seasons.
As for your second sentence, that is one heap of speculaion on your part. Who on this message board would even pretend to have knowledge of the organizaion's treatment of injuries? All you see are the actual injuries and DL stints. No way to speculate on prevention or treatment.
Guys like Rodgers that needed the carpal tunnel issue resolved with surgery but they kept screwing around with rest and therapy which really does nothing for severe carpal tunnel. As for Hart, if you think he moved okay at anytime last year you are blind. He is bad at swinging at outside sliders, but last year was particularly bad as it seemed he couldn't always shift his weight.
bring up morriss lets c what he got
I, too, believe that Brewers fans need to cool it on Morris a bit. He's decent, he will be decent in the MLB, but come on. Morris and Farris seemed to be everyone's poster boys and then they come up, do nothing, (Farris hit like .260 in AAA), and the same people want their heads.Hide replies
I don't recall people thinking that Farris had much of a ceiling. As for Morris, the Brewers have been high on him for several years. He was POY of the Southern League. He seems to be on a path for the big leagues.
But you are right in that we shouldn't think he'll be in MKE this year. Let's hope he has a great 2013 in Nashville and get him ready for MKE in 2014.
I still think it's a little early to bring up Morris, but we'll see.
A bump for sure but no biggie with the Crew's offensive weapon. This is probably Gamels final shot at proving he can be a contributor in Milwaukee. Let's hope he proves himself worthy or at least becomes a possible tradeable asset. I still would like to see Hart sign for another 3-4 years and be a real mainstay in Milwaukee. It has been a very long time since we've had a long term icon in Milwaukee like we had from the late 70's to early 80's. I say sign him and keep him.

ZARY, Poland (AP) - Consider it Poland's version of Max Yasgur's farm: 200,000 half-naked dancing kids, with sunflowers in flowing hair, wearing beads and headbands, all gathered Saturday at a dusty, abandoned airfield to recreate Woodstock.
That would be Woodstock 1969, not Woodstock '99, which ended recently in a riot. Organizer Jurek Owsiak made that clear.
"I care deeply with my heart, kids, so there will be no mess here," Owsiak, a chubby 46-year-old with cropped blond hair and pink glasses, yelled from the stage.
When he started the annual "Station Woodstock," now in its fifth year, Owsiak wanted to emphasize the groovy spirit of the original Woodstock, held on Yasgur's property in Woodstock, N.Y.
The theme of the three-day festival, which started Friday, said it all: "Love, Friendship, Music, Stop Violence, Stop Drugs."
More than 50 bands played folk, reggae, blues and rock at the old Zary airfield near the border with Germany.
The entrance was free, thanks to corporate sponsorships and the town of Zary. Hare Krishna followers and Roman Catholic organizations gave away free food. Vendors sold cheap sausages and corn. Alcohol was forbidden, except for beer.
While Owsiak wasn't at the first Woodstock, he was at the 1994 version in Saugerties, N.Y. And he closely followed TV reports of last month's Woodstock '99 in Rome, N.Y., where tickets cost $154 and mineral water $4.
He blames commercialization for Woodstock '99's disastrous ending. Tractor-trailers were set ablaze, vendor stands overrun and authorities pelted with debris. State troopers moved in to restore order, seven people were injured and at least six said they were raped.
"There is soul in our Station. We tell people: You are creating it and we are doing it thanks to you," Owsiak said in a festival bulletin. AP PhotoMore than 50 bands played at the fifth annual "Station Woodstock" Saturday at a former airfield in Zary, Poland.
But because of Woodstock '99, Station Woodstock almost didn't happen.
After hearing about last month's violence, the local governor wanted to cancel the concert. He gave the go-ahead after meeting with Owsiak and arranging for 120 security guards. An additional 300 people volunteered for a security force dubbed the Peace Patrol.
And so the show went on, drawing the biggest crowds ever.
"Owsiak does something for young people," said Malgorzata Domagalska, 20, at Station Woodstock for the third time. "Thanks to him, we can show that young people can do something for others, that we're not just a violent and selfish crowd."
Still, there were some selfish moments.
"Our tent was robbed last night," said Andrzej Perchel, 19, sipping beer and listening to rehearsing bands. "This is peace and love?"

Actor Bradley Cooper revived his role as Joseph Merrick, in the play The Elephant Man. It is based on Merrick's life, a 19th century British man who became a star of the traveling freak show circuit. When a renowned doctor takes Merrick under his care at the London Hospital, he is astonished by Merrick's brilliant…
Bradley Cooper looks like a totally different person sans stubble.
The actor was spotted in New York City on Wednesday, and he was sporting a clean-shaven face. Which totally changes up his look.
Because there is never a reason to not watch Bradley Cooper smash raw eggs on his forehead, we gladly present to you a video of epic proportions…that features Bradley Cooper smashing raw eggs on his forehead.
Thankfully for us, Jimmy Fallon knows what the people want and he gives it to them often.
Bradley Cooper is to star in a revival of The Elephant Man on Broadway.
The American Hustle actor will play John Merrick, a despondent man living with terrible physical deformities, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Dec. 31 marks the end of 2012, but it's the beginning of Anthony Hopkins' 75th year on Planet Earth.
One of the most acclaimed and sought-after actors in the world, Hopkins has been entertaining audiences for more than 40 years, remarkably getting the break that made him a true movie star – Silence…

We investigate the multidecadal variability of summer temperature over Romania as measured at 14 meteorological stations with long-term observational records. The dominant pattern of summer temperature variability has a monopolar structure and shows pronounced multidecadal variations. A correlation analysis reveals that these multidecadal variations are related with multidecadal variations in the frequency of four daily atmospheric circulation patterns from the North Atlantic region. It is found that on multidecadal time scales, negative summer mean temperature (TT) anomalies are associated with positive sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies centered over the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean and Scandinavia and negative SLP anomalies centered over the northern part of Africa. It is speculated that a possible cause of multidecadal fluctuations in the frequency of these four patterns are the sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies associated to the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). These results have implications for predicting the evolution of summer temperature over Romania on multidecadal time scales.

The discontinuous nature of electrical propagation in cardiac muscle

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
The propagation of excitation in cardiac muscle has generally been treated as though it occurred in a continuous structure. However, new evidence indicates that propagation in cardiac muscle often displays a discontinuous nature. In this paper, we consider the hypothesis that this previously unrecognized type of propagation is caused by recurrent discontinuities of effective axial resistivity which affect the membrane currents. The major implication is that the combination of discontinuities of axial resistivity at several size scales can produce most currently known cardiac conduction disturbances previously thought to require spatial nonuniformities of the membrane properties. At present there is no appropriate model or simulation for propagation in anisotropic cardiac muscle. However, the recent quantitative description of the fast sodium current in voltage-clamped cardiac muscle membrane makes it possible, for the first time, to apply experimentally based quantitative membrane models to propagation in cardiac muscle. The major task now is to account for the functional role of the structural complexities of cardiac muscle. The importance of such a model is that it would establish how the membrane ionic currents and the complexities of cell and tissue structure interact to determine propagation in both normal and abnormal cardiac muscle.

She made the comments after being voted the most influential
female voice in Australia by Fairfax Media's Daily Life
The site lauded her for the now famous speech in October,
saying it was a "watershed moment" for Australian women.
"Our first female Prime Minister had kept silent on sexism
directed at her and entrenched in Australian politics since
her election, but when she spoke it wasn't just Australia,
but the world, that stopped and listened," a statement on
their website said.
But Ms Gillard, in an accompanying interview with Fairfax,
had no idea how much attention the world would pay to the
speech until Treasurer Wayne Swan told her.
"I thought I had given a hard-hitting speech but I didn't
have any inkling of the effect of it," she said.
"I said to Wayne, `Oh, we're going to have to sit here now
and listen to all these bloody speeches in reply. I should
get my chief of staff to bring some correspondence so at
least I can be getting on with something.'
"And Wayne, with a slightly odd look on his face ... said,
`You can't really give the `I accuse' speech and settle back
and do your correspondence'."
She said women had shown their support of the speech by
sending her notes and presents.
Media commentator Anne Summers was voted the second most
influential woman in Australia, followed by social
commentator, writer and lecturer Jane Caro, Sex
Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick and Walkley
award winning journalist and 7.30 Report anchor Leigh Sales.

Inez C. Parker circa 1902Inez Corene Parker was an African-American writer from Rolla, Missouri whose verse was widely circulated at the turn of the twentieth century. She was one of the first African-Americans to attempt to make a living from her literary work. Parker�s poems gained national exposure and were widely circulated in journals and newspapers in Chicago, St. Louis, Salt Lake City, etc. She traveled throughout the country giving recitals of her literature and gained several prominent admirers including Secretary of State John Hay. However, very little is known of this early African-American professional writer who lived her entire life in Rolla.Life began for Inez Parker in a small frame house at the northeast corner of Fourth and Cedar Streets on January 4, 1876. Both of Inez�s parents, John Parker and Sedonia Blackwell, were former slaves. Her father was a native of Georgia who was working as a shoemaker in Texas County, Missouri prior to his marriage. Sedonia, born in Missouri, was employed as a housekeeper in the home of attorney Edward A. Seay in 1870. After their marriage in 1872, the small home where Inez was born was constructed for the Parkers. After the birth of Inez, the Parker family continued to grow and included ten children.As a child, Parker attended the segregated public schools in Rolla. Afterward, having the advantages of some private instruction, she graduated from the high school in Rolla. Her education also included instruction in music, French and Latin. After completing her studies, she was employed to teach elocution and music by several members of the African-American community in Rolla.Parker�s first professionally published poem was �Hope� which appeared in a Chicago literary journal circa 1898. The publication of the poem was the result of a contest held by the journal. Over forty individuals, all of whom were white, submitted entries. After the publication of �Hope�, Parker was contacted by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and asked write verses for publication. In 1899, five of Parker�s poems were published in the newspaper.During this time, the style of Parker�s poems began to change. Much of her work was authored in conventional English, while some were rendered in an African-American dialect. The latter structure was popularized by Paul Laurence Dunbar. A contemporary of Parker�s, Dunbar was an African-American poet, novelist and playwright who achieved national fame. The use of dialect popularized his writings so much that editors refused to print his more traditional poems and demanded he focus on dialect. Dunbar came to believe that the marketability of dialect poems was demeaning and it inflicted irrevocable harm to the African-American community. However, Dunbar didn�t consider his dialect poetry to be inferior to his Standard English writings. Modern scholars of Dunbar�s writings have begun to discover the humanity of his dialect work. Most of Parker�s published poems in 1899, such as ��Manicaption Day� and �When Daddy Plays de Banjo� were written in a dialect form.Parker�s work gained popularity and her verses were widely circulated. Her work appeared in The Broadax (Salt Lake City, Utah), The Vermont Phoenix (Brattleboro, Vermont), The New York Age (New York City), The Minneapolis Journal (Minneapolis, Minnesota) and many more. The Commoner of Lincoln, Nebraska was so impressed with Parker�s work they gave her a year-long subscription in 1906. Due to her increased popularity, Parker was requested by various organizations to recite her poems and short stories. She appeared before sold out audiences, black and white, in St. Louis between 1904 and 1907.After 1910, mentions of Parker and her writings in national publication virtually vanish. In 1910, she is listed in the federal census as living with her mother and earning money through elocution recitals. By 1920, she is still living with her mother at Fourth and Cedar Streets. At the time, Harold Griggs was boarding with the Parkers. Within a few years, Griggs and Parker were married. Harold worked as a janitor and Inez is continually listed as doing �house work� after their marriage. After the death of her mother in 1929, the Griggs continued to live at Forth and Cedar Street until the death of Inez on December 20, 1950.Inez Parker briefly garnered national acclaim yet never attained distinction in the literary world. She penned a large body work, written in standard English and African-American dialect, which has been largely forgotten. However, the success of this Rolla native at a time when opportunities for African-Americans were extremely limited should not be forgotten. Parker was one of the few African-American at the time that was able to make a living through her writing. Parker was the precursor to a new generation of African-American writers, including Langston Hughes, who embraced vernacular speech of their time and place. The contributions and influence of this local writer on the larger literary world should be remembered and cherished by the citizens of Rolla and beyond.HOPE
The morn was dreary and gray with mist,By faintest glimmer of gold unkissed;But Hope looked forth with a vision bright,And whispered low, with a smile of light:�Oh heart, dear heart, be of good cheer;The noon will be fairer-never fear!�Wind-swept the noon came, wet with rain,All sighs and shadows, all tears and pain;But Hope looked forth with a steadfast eye,And whispered low as the wind shrieked by:�on, heart, faint heart, be of good cheer;At eve �twill be fairer-never fear!�The shrouded sun found a cloudy tomb,And without a star came a night of gloom;But Hope looked forth with a vision bright,And whispered low, with a smile of light:�Oh, heart, sad heart, be of good cheer;The morn will be fairer-never fear!�

- Today Marge Nelson becomes Marge Spengo!And all around the planet, we will do the tango!
This movie contains examples of:
- Affectionate Parody: It poses the question: what if Emperor Ming was a short, fat, insecure hopeless loser?
- Or if Flash Gordon was an average looking everyman.
- And Now You Must Marry Me
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Hold it Spengo! That's MY wife you've got there, that's MY planet you're trying to blow up and (looking at Afir tied to the Death Ray) that's... just some guy I met.
- Bald of Evil: Tod Spengo, but he spends most of the movie hiding it.
- Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: The dog-headed aliens and the fish-headed aliens are different genders of the same species (male and female, respectively).
- Bound and Gagged: Marge, near the end of the film.
- The Caligula: Emperor Tod Spengo. If it weren't a comedy, he could be downright frightening.
- Call Back: "Open my pants." "He does know father!"
- Compensating for Something. Tod Spengo, in droves. In fact, he wants to destroy the Earth for certain reasons.Tod: The Earth! You think you're so big. So important!
- Really compensating.Tod: Greetings, Marge Nelson. I am Tod the Destroyer, ruler of all you see. Impressed?Marge: Oh, yes. You have an absolutely adorable little planet here.
Tod: (strained laugh) Ah, hah. Oh, so... you think my planet is little?
Marge: Oh, yes, it's just tiny.
Tod: (barely contained rage) I'll have you know, Marge Nelson, it's not the size of your planet, it's how you use it!
- And it goes on.Marge: Todd... are you... insecure?
Tod: (denial laugh) Hah! Me? Insecure? If I were insecure WHY WOULD I SPEAK SO LOUDLY? Hm? How about now, dear Marge? What do you think of me now?!
- If you look at the plate on the wall which Dick and Marge stand in front of for a picture, it shows a "scale comparison" between the Sears Tower and Spengo's tower.
- Really compensating.
- Ditto Aliens: Averted with the dog-men and fish-ladies, who possess differing fur/scale tones and patterns within their individual type. Marge is even able to recognize her guard from a fish-lady's family photo she'd seen earlier, and offer marriage counseling to help him get back together with his wife.
- Double Entendre: Spengo drops these occasionally. Example in Compensating for Something.
- Dressing as the Enemy: Good news: Sympathetic guard. Bad news: No face-concealing helmet, and the borrowed uniform isn't even close to being your size Good news: planet of idiots. Bad news: Afir is no idiot.
- Earth-Shattering Kaboom: What Spengo plans to do.
- Egopolis: One of the more extreme examples, as Tod renamed the entire planet after himself. Admittedly a really small planet, but still...
- Expy: Aside from the Flash Gordon parody, one talking rat looks and behaves suspiciously like Salacious Crumb.
- Face Palm: One of the Dog Guards during the "mutton chop" scene below.
- Family-Friendly Firearms: The laser weapons are especially jarring since the planet's denizens themselves know and acknowledge that they are all idiots. On the other hand, they're so inaccurate that it's openly acknowledged in-universe that throwing a rock is more dangerous.
- Fanservice: The entirety of the rebellious people, but especially Kathy Ireland. Not in the least because of her...
- Fur Bikini: Worn by the female natives. The men wear loincloths are and mostly bare-chested as well.
- Gender Equals Breed: It is implied that the bulldog-men and fish-ladies are members of the same species.
- The Good Chancellor: General Afir.
- Groin Attack: Marge knees Tod in the groin, but he is unaffected, mostly.Tod: (high pitched voice) Thank you!
- The Guards Must Be Crazy: Double subversion here.
- Humans Are Morons: The dog- and fish-people don't seem to be stupid. It could be only the human-like aliens are idiots.
- Idiot Ball: This covers everyone on Spengo who doesn't die from their own stupidity.
- Idiot Plot: Lampshaded because it's explicitly stated that everyone living in the fictional society really is an idiot.
- Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: The Destroyers all graduated. The fact that their weapons don't fire in a straight line doesn't help.
- Killer Rabbit: The Lubb-Lubbs, which resemble cute, smiling mushroom like beings. Their actual mouths are huge and sharklike, filled with nasty pointy teeth.
- Also filled with another mouth that is also filled with nasty pointy teeth.
- They do taste good - at least to the natives - with heavy grease. Yum!
- Also filled with another mouth that is also filled with nasty pointy teeth.
- Lampshade Hanging: Give them credit - the denizens of Spengo know they're idiots.King Raff: Did I mention we were a planet of idiots?
- Like a Duck Takes to Water: Just like John Carter of Mars was able to use his comparatively Heavy Worlder physique to become a Martian Warlord, Dick Nelson is able to take the entire planet of Spengo by storm despite being your average suburbanite because he's the only person on the planet besides his wife who is not an idiot.
- Love at First Sight: Tod seeing Marge.
- Mental Picture Projector. A reference to Flash Gordon (1980).
- Mind Probe: The Mind-Milking Machine. The first thing Tod gets out of Dick's mind: My back. My back is killing me.
- More Teeth than the Osmond Family: The Lubb-Lubbs.
- Offing the Annoyance: Emperor Spengo is portrayed as a comedic version of The Caligula, as seen in the "mutton chop" scene in Too Dumb to Live below.
- Oh Crap!: Dick does this a lot.
- Only Sane Man: General Afir through most of the film, even when compared to Dick and Marge.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: The rebels wear large bird costumes to avoid being spotted, even though there are no birds nearly that large on the planet. Given their opposition, it might have been a pretty effective tactic anyway.
- Pig Latin: It seems it's the natural language of the planet.Sirk: Aketay offay irdbay askmay!
- Pimped-Out Dress: Both really cheesy dresses Marge is forced to wear.
- Planet of Hats: Everyone on the entire planet of Spengo is a flaming idiot.
- The rare example where the society knows it. "I'm the smartest one here, and I'm an idiot."
- Though even they may be exaggerating. King Raff, when his intelligence is returned to normal, is able to speak in technical terms ("I have reversed the polarity of the Magno-Beam. I will return you to your planet forthwith and in great haste."), and General Afir is anything but stupid, though he could be the Only Sane Man.
- The rare example where the society knows it. "I'm the smartest one here, and I'm an idiot."
- Rock Beats Laser: Of course it does. The natives treat rocks like astonishly advanced technology.
- Scary Black Man: General Afir, especially when giving his Death Glare.
- Schmuck Bait: The light grenade, which completely annihilates anyone who picks up an active specimen, and which is labeled "Pick Me Up", manages to take out an entire platoon of soldiers, one by one. The last one is the platoon leader, calling for backup.Spengo soldier: The Earth-man has a light grenade for a head!
- Strangely enough, it isn't the "Pick Me Up" message which gets them to pick it up. Only the man who picks it up before the platoon leader makes the call reads it. The rest (it's implied) seem to fall from a chain of dialogue which causes the next man to pick it up. They're just that stupid.
- Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: The light grenade's effect.
- Tastes Like Friendship: Marge offers a dog-guard a granola bar in the course of offering marriage counseling.
- Too Dumb to Live: Many examples, but aside from the "Light Grenade", this example takes the cake.Tod Spengo: Hey you. What do you think - mutton chops or goatee? Be honest.
Twin Destroyer #1: Mutton chops, my lord?
Tod Spengo: (considers for a moment) No. No, I like the goatee better. Shoot yourself in the head. (a beat) NOW.
(Twin Destroyer #1 complies with a blaster to his own head.)
Tod Spengo: Well? How about you?
Twin Destroyer #2: (a beat, then brightly) Mutton chops!
(Tod Spengo glares at him. Twin Destroyer #2 sighs, then shoots himself.)
Tod Spengo: Planet of idiots. (Tod continues to check himself in the mirror.) You know what? They got a point.
(Dog Guard Face Palm)
- Trojan Horse: The giant bust of Tod Spengo. Of course, the rebels nailed it shut so there's no way for anyone to get in... or get out.
- Ugly Guy, Hot Wife. Sibor (Wallace Shawn) and Semage (Kathy Ireland).
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Dick and Marge, showing slides after their trip, treat taking a pic of Saturn from their station wagon like they'd passed by the Grand Canyon. Dick thanks Marge for insisting he use the flash.
- Wacky Sound Effect: The sound of a guard shooting himself in the head seems to involve the sound of a rubber duck.
- Weird Science: An affectionate parody.
- Wilhelm Scream: When the Spengo guard is accidentally shot in the fortress docking bay, just before Dick escapes in the large pod.

Lung Association reports air quality gains, but warns many Americans still breathe dangerous air pollution
Yesterday, the American Lung Association released its annual air quality report, State of the Air 2011, identifying the United State's most unhealthy cities by year-round and short term particle pollution and ozone. While this year's findings show overall improvement in air quality across the country, vast steps are still required to ensure the health and safety of the American people in the future. CAP's Emily Bischof has the story.
There is reason to celebrate the success of EPA regulations and the Clean Air Act, established by a bipartisan congress in 1970. According to the newly released report, nearly all 25 cities listed as the most polluted by ozone, and short/long-term particle pollution showed some improvement.
Nevertheless, despite encouraging improvements in air quality, the fight for clean air is far from over. The American Lung Association has also found that over half of Americans still reside in counties that that have unhealthy levels of either ozone or particle pollution and 1 in 17 Americans live in places with dangerous levels of ozone, short term, and long term particle pollution. The health implications from these conditions range from increased asthma attacks and respiratory infection, to increased risk of cancer and stroke.
Yet not all Americans are hit in the same way. Those most at risk from the negative health impacts include children, senior citizens and people already suffering from asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema and cardiovascular disease as well as our nation's poorest citizens. Almost 37 million children under the age of 18, and 20 million people living at or below federal poverty level live in places with unhealthy levels of ozone.
The EPA is currently working to create new rules that will continue to curb these dangerous pollutants. Once established, the recently proposed Air Toxics Rule would "lead to exponential health benefits, including the prevention of 11,000 heart attacks and 17,000 premature deaths per year." Clean Air Act protections already in place saved over 160,000 lives in 2010 alone. Our nation's productivity and success relies upon a healthy and viable work force. Further, the health benefits created by EPA standards not only improve the quality of life for all Americans but also foster a robust and competitive economy.
While everyone can celebrate the success of cleaner air and healthier people, there are some that will deny credit where credit is due. In an article written by Steve Hayward of the American Enterprise Institute, pollution reduction detailed in recent studies is touted as a huge success, yet not once does he mention the EPA cap-and-trade programs that were responsible for the air quality improvements. Likewise, Conservatives continue to introduce bills that would effectively cut the funding and power that enable the EPA to establish and enforce these life saving regulations.
American's of different ethnic backgrounds, faiths and political ideology are raising their collective voices in support of EPA regulations. According to an American Lung Association poll, 69 % of voters think the Clean Air Act standards should provide stricter limits on air pollution. The American people have recognized the value of a healthy environment yet their conservative representatives in congress would rather ally themselves with the very companies responsible for poisoning American air.
The American consensus has it right. Let us celebrate the small victory of cleaner air and move forward by allowing the EPA to continue protecting the health of American citizens with pollution regulations that have proven to effectively curb dangerous emissions. If Congress were to pass bills that would eliminate the EPA's ability to regulate harmful air pollutants, we would soon see these moderate improvements in air quality disappear.
— By Emily Bischof, CAP energy intern.
4 Responses to Lung Association reports air quality gains, but warns many Americans still breathe dangerous air pollution
The entire report is essential reading but the following passages are important. First, the method of measuring pollution is the result of industry pressure (lawsuits and lobbying), and does not reflect that there is NO safe level of chronic exposure to ambient background levels of pollution because damage is cumulative over time:
"For both ozone and short-term particle pollution, the analysis uses a weighted average number of days that allows recognition of places with higher levels of pollution…"
Even the newer proposed level is inadequate to protect human health – and the report of course doesn't include the well-established fact that vegetation, which is essential to life since it is at the bottom of the food chain, is even more sensitive to ozone exposure than humans, resulting in significant losses in crop yield and quality, while killing longer-lived species such as trees and shrubs that are exposed season after season.
"The Lung Association urges the EPA to adopt a much tighter, more protective national air quality standard for ozone, set at 60 parts per billion. The EPA is currently considering strengthening the standard adopted in March 2008, which they now believe was not strong enough to protect health against the widespread harm from ozone smog. The 2008 decision set 75 ppb as the standard, despite the unanimous recommendations of EPA's official science advisors that such a level would allow too much ozone to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. The American Lung Association challenged the 2008 decision in court, along with several states, public health and environmental groups. In January 2010, the EPA proposed a range for the new standard that met the earlier recommendations of the expert panel and the nation's leading public health organizations. EPA will announce the decision on the new standard the summer of 2011."
The failure of both the current and proposed acceptable levels to protect health is evident in this section:
"Ozone concentrations by city in the summer months ranged from 16 percent to 80 percent lower than EPA currently considers safe. Researchers found that ozone at those lower levels was associated with deaths from cardiovascular disease, strokes, and respiratory causes."
Towards the end of the report are easy links to contact the EPA and legislators to support tighter restrictions. Attempts by well-funded "conservatives" to thwart EPA regulations are obscene and must be countered by concerned citizens.
Many parents I know have children with asthma. And now, my own mild case of exercise-induced asthma has grown to full-blown serious asthma, the kind that kills if not kept under control with steroids. It recently turned to pneumonia — scary stuff! The problem is, most of us don't connect the dots between smokestack emissions from, say, coal fired power plants, and our personal health. I've always thought it would be a good idea to sell light switch plates that have a warning written on them: WARNING: The power used to turn on your lights may be hazardous to your health. And — all of us with asthma should be on a crusade to clean up our air — from motor vehicles, power plants, industrial sources, and all the rest. Breathing should not be, in an of itself, a dangerous proposition!
Perhaps we should make the burning of mined petrochemicals illegal within one generation. Besides diseases such as life threatening asthma, climate contamination and changed weather is also developing into a killer.
"Thou shall not kill, except for corporations" doesn't quite seem justified, or just.
There is a view out there that natural gas (NG) is somehow 'different'
So could somebody please comment on the following. NG is just as much a fossil fuel as coal. It produces energy by oxidising carbon. It produces just as much CO2 per unit of energy as coal or oil. What it also does is produce less pollution by way aerosols, particles, etc.
But aerosols are the (?)main source of negative climate forcing – they counter the global warming effect of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. So here's James Hansen's 'faustian bargain': clean up the particle / aerosol pollution, and you'll cough less – but the warming effect gets a strong impetus as a result. IMV, the thing to go for is a rapid, total, world wide reduction in the use of carbon fuels. Within a time scale of 20 years. Absent that, we're all stuffed.
Now would somebody please tell me if I've got that wrong, about NG and CO2?

6 reviews | 3 out of 5
No options to just send out a part, you have to return the full unit at your expense. Units are shipped from overseas in bulk and distributed. Called Allen Company directly, spoke with Kelly Grace, she indicated I had to pay to ship it back to them, then they would replace the unit for me. But I have to be out additional shipping because they can't pack it properly?
flimsy - light weight - vibrates
glare from aluminum annoying
only three height settings
spend a few bucks more and get a better quality unit
Product showed up really beat up. Upon opening the box everything seemed fine but upon further inspection I noticed the poor quality of the product (sloppy welds painted over, poor fit, etc). Once everything was assembled per the instructions it worked great, for about 50 throws. I barely had time to get in the groove before a pin that acts as the main pivot point snapped at a place it was tack welded. Stay clear of this thrower.
Didn't take to long to assemble even though it is in many parts. Made of good stuff. We had fun using it.
this thrower is the best buy for the price
built strong sends the clay targets out were you want them every time what a great buy and it is use every weekend thanks walmart
