The big news out of Halle so far this week is that Roger Federer played a match without the trademark headband he has worn without respite for, by his own estimate, 12 or 13 years. It has been that kind of week, despite the shift from red clay to green grass at Halle (where Federer is playing) and Queens.
The week after a Grand Slam is always a tough news week.
The decision was not without angst, as you can tell by the fact that Federer dispensed with the headband ...

Vt. lawmakers to hold hearing on land tax changesJanuary 28,2014
Hearing set on
land tax changes
Vermont lawmakers are set to hold a public hearing on changes to the states system of taxing some properties according to how theyre used, rather than fair market value.
Vermont for decades has had a program designed to charge lower property taxes for people who own farm and forest land, in contrast to what they would pay if the land were considered ripe for development.
The bill would lower the tax landowners have to pay when they withdraw from the program. Its currently set at 20 percent of the propertys full fair market value.
The hearing is set for 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday in the State House in Montpelier.MORE IN This Just In

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Becky Cloonan is now accepting preorders for By Chance or Providence, a limited-edition hardcover collection of her acclaimed trilogy of minicomics Wolves, the Eisner Award-nominated The Mire and Demeter.
"These stories cast a hypnotic melancholy," the description reads, "weaving their way through a medieval landscape of ancient curses and terrible truths that will haunt you long after you've set them down." The cover illustration is lovely, but the details sound even better: a canvas hardcover with gold foil blocking on the spine and cover, with a bonus sketchbook and illustration section, wrapped in a dust jacket.
By Chance or Providence is priced at $20; the print run will be determined by the number of preorders received by March 21. Retailers are encouraged to visit the wholesale site.
But wait! There's more! Cloonan is also offering a pair of gorgeous signed and numbered, limited-edition silkscreens from Wolves for $40 each. You can see both of them below.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly about her early involvement with comiXology Submit, the new digital comics platform for independent creators, Becky Cloonan finally reveals details about her new minicomic Demeter, which she teased in January.
"It's a short story, about 27 pages," she tells the website. "I can't say too much about it without giving away the huge spoiler at the end. It has a little bit to do with the Greek myth of Demeter, the god of the harvest. It follows a fisherman's wife as she kind of waits for her husband to return from sea. She tends to the crops and the animals. While she's doing this, things start to bubble to the surface."
Cloonan's previous two minicomics, Wolves and The Mire, are now available from comiXology.
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading? Our guest this week is Spanish artist Alberto Jiménez Alburquerque, who drew the comic Elle for Soleil. He's also working on a story for the upcoming Skullkickers #18 with J. Torres.
To see what Alberto and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below.
Becky Cloonan has premiere the final cover for The Mire, the follow-up to her acclaimed minicomic Wolves. The self-contained story is set on the eve of a battle as a humble squire is tasked with delivering a letter to a decrepit castle within a swamp. "Met with mysterious apparitions," the artist writes, "he slowly unveils the truth about why he was sent there, as his past is re-written over the course of twenty-two pages."
Pre-orders are being accepted now through Big Cartel, with The Mire set to debut May 5 at the Toronto Comics Art Festival. The comic can be purchased for $5; for an extra $20, Cloonan will add a sketch of one of the characters. Check out the full cover below.
Last year Becky Cloonan self-published a well-received minicomic called Wolves, which she sold at conventions and via her Big Cartel site. Now she's publishing another self-published minicomic called The Mire, which she is now accepting pre-orders for and, like folks do on Kickstarter, she's offering extra incentives for additional funds.
"I'm doing what so many others have done through Kickstarter and other fundraising sites- try to raise money to print in large quantities, except I'm cutting out the middle-man," she said on her blog. She added that Wolves has sold about 3,000 copies total, and she plans to do a third printing of it along with the initial printing of The Mire — about 5,000 copies between the two.
"I don't skimp on printing either. Each book has heavy interior paper, plus a silk-screened cover on colored card stock," she said. "Pre-ordering will help me estimate how many I'll need to print as well. All in all a logical decision!"
The comic can be bought for $5, and for an extra $20 she'll add a random sketch of one of the characters in it. Here's a description of the book: "The much anticipated follow-up to 2011's WOLVES, THE MIRE is a self-contained story set on the eve of battle, when a humble squire is given the task of delivering a letter to a decomposing castle in a swamp. Met with mysterious apparitions, he slowly unveils the truth about why he was sent there, as his past is re-written over the course of twenty two pages."

A Charleston man linked to the first-ever law enforcement seizure of digital bitcoins might have been the victim of mistaken identity, according to a writer who chronicles the so-called "crypto-currency."
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration last year drew widespread Internet attention when it posted a forfeiture notice indicating that agents had seized 11.02 bitcoins worth $814 from 31-year-old Eric Daniel Hughes of Charleston for allegedly violating the federal Controlled Substances Act.
The DEA stated that Hughes also went by the name Casey Jones, a moniker that had surfaced on the infamous Silk Road website's forums in connection with alleged prescription pill sales. Silk Road, an off-the-grid marketplace where drugs are bought and sold, relies on bitcoins, an Internet cash equivalent that can be sent directly to other users with no involvement from banks or middle men.
But Brian Cohen, a writer for the Let's Talk Bitcoin! blog, said a more recent DEA seizure raises doubts about Hughes' involvement in the case. The DEA posted a forfeiture notice last week indicating it had seized 17.24 bitcoins valued at $2,099.87 from the same account, or "wallet," that allegedly had been linked to Hughes, Cohen reported.
The difference: This time around, the account was said to be based in California and its owner was listed as "unidentified," Cohen stated. No mention of Casey Jones was made.
"Bitcoin users can create as many addresses as they like but each address is unique to that user. The first seizure and latest seizure use identical wallet addresses and therefore should be owned by the same person," Cohen said. "The DEA appears to have thought that Mr. Hughes was someone using the alias Casey Jones in the first seizure. It is curious that while the latest seizure does not name Mr. Hughes as owning the wallet address that it also does not attribute the address to the alias."
Another oddity is the latest reported seizure actually took place in May 2013 - just a month after the DEA's initial action - but it was kept under wraps until last week, Cohen said.
David Aylor, Hughes' attorney, said his client has strongly denied being Casey Jones or ever using that name online. Hughes has insisted the bitcoins didn't belong to him and that he had no part in buying or selling anything on Silk Road, Aylor said.
Aylor said he reached out to federal authorities with that message last year when Hughes' name first surfaced in connection with the case. He's heard nothing since, and the DEA has not charged Hughes with any crime, he said.
"We had not heard one way or the other, so this is a huge relief for him," Aylor said. "We had always denied those were his to begin with."
The DEA's Los Angeles field office investigated the initial bitcoin seizure. Special Agent Sarah Pullen, the office spokeswoman, did not immediately return an email seeking comment Tuesday. She has previously declined to discuss the case, citing the ongoing investigation.
The DEA moved to seize the bitcoins last year the same month that Charleston police conducted two undercover buys targeting Hughes, according to court documents. He was accused of selling less than a gram of a powerful muscle relaxant and 10.7 grams of marijuana to informants working with police, arrest affidavits said.
Charleston police charged Hughes with distributing marijuana and prescription pills after a June 5 raid on his St. Philip Street apartment, according to county court records. The charges stemmed from 10 bags of the narcotic Suboxone found in Hughes' bedroom during the search and the previous undercover drug purchases, according to arrest affidavits.
His case was referred in December to the county's drug court, which allows non-violent offenders a chance to get their charges dismissed if they complete at least a year of court supervision and treatment, court records show.

NEW YORK (June 19, 2013)--Kolcraft is recalling more than 96,000 Jeep Liberty strollers after at least 18 people were injured by tire blowouts, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
The CPSC said it knows of 39 reports of inner tube ruptures that caused wheel rims to break off and become projectiles.
The incidents took place mostly when the tires were being inflated, causing cuts and bruises to arms, legs, torso and head or face.
Two of the injured were children standing near the stroller.
There were also two reports of property damage.
The strollers were sold at Burlington Coat Factory, Sears, Toys R Us, and other retailers in the U.S. and Canada between June 2010 and June 2013, for $150 to $180.
Owners should stop using the strollers and should contact the company to receive free replacement wheels.
The commission also advised owners to use manual pumps to inflate tires, rather than high-pressure pumps found at gas stations.

0006 Antarctica Beachlife by wallyandosborneWatch
©2007-2016 wallyandosborne
The beaches in Antarctic are a little different. They are basically ice beaches except for some areas in summer that the dark soil and rock see water. Though weary of Orcas (Killer Whales), its not so much penguins but seals on beaches that see this scenario. Its just a hard life here and were going to have to be hardened to it and stay out of the water! Personally Im sticking to snow castles with Wally.

Straight up, there are more hot black cocksuckers in Cumswapping Headliners 3 than backstage at a P-Funk concert. This thing is wall-to-wall ebony ass.
Problem is, the sex isn't all that good. Sure, there's a lot of it, and a lot of hot pussy to choose from, but the scenes are all kind of interchangeable, which means that they're kind of boring after a while.
Not that there aren't highlights. Sydnee Capri and Angel Eyes are certainly hot, and they have some good chemistry together, in addition to DSL's that beg for cock to slide in and out of them.
It's just that, aside from this, the feature is pretty average, and this scene alone just isn't enough to make it all better.
Retailing: Stock it for fans of ebony and oral?and both.

The Hillsboro Public Library is a two-location public library system in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. First opened in 1914 in a Carnegie library building, the system provides services to a population area of 157,000 people. As of 2004, the system had a usage of 674,000 visits per year. One library is located near downtown in Shute Park, with the other newer location in the central portion of the city near the airport. Circulation exceeds 1.75 million per year, and the system has over 59,000 registered users. As of 2015, the director of the library is Stephanie Chase.[1]
The first library in Hillsboro opened on December 9, 1914, when the Carnegie City Library was dedicated.[2] This was one of 2,500 plus libraries built by money donated by Andrew Carnegie around the world, and the only public one in Washington County, Oregon (the Carnegie Library at Pacific University was a private, academic library).[3] The land at Northeast Second and Lincoln Streets where the library was built, was also donated to the city.[4][5] Designed by architect Ernest Kroner, the $10,000 building was constructed by the firm Book & Engeldinger.[2]
In 1925, the library had a circulation 19,445 and a total of 4,855 volumes.[6] Total fines charged that year were $92.28, while expenses totaled about $250 for the year to maintain the grounds, pay for heating, and pay for water and electricity.[6] The Friends of the Library group was started on February 6, 1968.[7] In May 1971, this group began campaigning for a new library building, including paying some of the early costs for designs, with voters later approving a bond measure to pay for the new facility.[7] On January 21, 1975, a new library opened to replace the Carnegie building, located at Shute Park.[2] The new building was designed by Martin, Soderstrom & Matteson.[7] Circulation at the library totaled about 130,000 in 1975 with around 40,000 books.[6] The year after the Shute Park location opened a library was opened in the Tanasbourne area on the east side of Hillsboro. In 1990, the city took over those operations, moving it in 1996 from the former Tanasbourne Mall location.[8]
In 1998, a Books-by-Rail branch was opened at the Hillsboro Central MAX Light Rail station in a 168-square-foot (15.6 m2) space.[9] Two times in 2002 and again in 2004, the city had property tax levies on the ballot to build a new $25 million library.[10] Plans called for building a 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) building on Cornell Road at 206th in the Tanasbourne area to replace the Tanasbourne branch.[11] The levies to build the new library and remodel the Shute Park location failed. The first measure in 2002 received majority support at the voting booth, but lost due to low voter turnout and the state's double-majority law.[12]
The library closed the Books by Rail branch in 2003 due to a reduced budget.[13] Hillsboro cut their library funding by $350,000 that year.[14] In 2005, the city decided on an alternate plan of buying an existing building and renovating it at a total cost of $13 million, with $1 million of the funds coming from private donations.[10]
The city purchased a two-story, 77,000-square-foot (7,200 m2) office building on Northeast Brookwood Parkway near the Hillsboro Airport for $6.8 million in September 2005.[10] With the opening of the new location in a more central area of Hillsboro, the Tanasbourne location was closed with its inventory moved to the new main library. The new library location opened in May 2007 after the building was renovated, but originally only occupied the first floor. In June 2013, the second floor opened to add 38,000 square feet (3,500 m2) of space and an art gallery to the Main Branch.[15] The Shute Park location was closed in 2013 for renovations, and re-opened in March 2014 with the entrance moved to the west end of the building.[1] A 3D printer was added to the Shute Park branch in December 2014.[16] The library added an automated kiosk, the Book-O-Mat, at the Hillsboro Civic Center in November 2015.[17]
Facilities and services[edit]
Main branch[edit]
The Hillsboro Main Library is housed in a two-story, city owned building encompassing 76,000 square feet (7,100 m2).[15][18] The library's collection includes more than 200,000 items.[19] Story readings at the main library are given in a variety of languages including Mandarin, Japanese, Bengali, and Spanish.[20] Additionally, the location has books in roughly 50 languages.[20] Part of the second floor houses an art gallery featuring local artists.[21] This library includes a privately owned coffee shop with leased space in the building.[22] There are approximately 300 parking spaces at the site.[23] The Main library also houses the collection of the Hillsboro Independent and The Hillsboro Argus newspapers, dating back to 1887.[24]
Shute Park branch[edit]
Opened in 1975, the Shute Park Branch is the oldest of the two libraries in the system. The building was designed by Will Martin and cost $760,000 to build.[2] With 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2), it is also the smaller of the two locations.[25] The building is triangular in shape, with the north facing wall all glass.[2] Shute Park houses over 105,000 library articles ranging from books and videos to audio materials and periodicals. It contains 36 seats and 31 computer terminals.[25]
As of 2004, the library system had a service area population of 150,000 residents.[26] That year the Tanasbourne branch served 401,000 people and the Shute Park branch 273,000 people.[26] In 2006, the library system had a rating of 683 from the Hennen's American Public Library Ratings,[27] down from 705 in 2004.[28]
For 2006 to 2007, combined the library has over 286,000 items in its collections and a circulation of over 1.75 million.[29] Revenue for the library totals $5.6 million, with expenditures slightly exceeding that number.[29] Between the two branches there are 55 staff members including librarians. Hillsboro Public Library has 59,275 library card holders, and is part of Washington County Cooperative Library Services.[29] Total visits were 644,000.[29] The library is the third largest in Oregon by population served.[29]

Writer and director Gatou and Chigira not only pull off, but master the art of mixing giant robots, secret agents, battles in the Middle East and goofy high school adventures all in one pot. Think of it as Evangelion meets Spriggan meets GTO, without all the super heavy philosophical flavoring.
The first third of this series (meaning the all the episodes in this box set) deal mostly with Sousuke, a sergeant in the super-secret Mithril organization, as he tries to pass himself off as a high school student to make guarding Chidori much easier. Not so fast. Not only is Chidori the school's most popular girl, Sousuke isn't your regular 16-year-old either. He's a hardened veteran, fighting in the Middle East since he was eight; he has tremendous fighting skills, nerds out and pilots an Armed Slave, the giant, cloaking mechas that every army in the world now uses. And it shows as the class watches slack-jawed as he introduces himself as "Sergeant Sagara Sousuke" and lists off his interests as Armed Slaves and military tactical magazines. He realizes his error and finally corrects, reluctantly, by pretending to be a fan of music equivalent to Britney Spears. Backups Mao and Weber laugh the whole time, monitoring from a nearby Armed Slave and monitoring station.
This type of hilarity easily carries the first third of the show, never getting old, no matter how many times the principal doesn't realize that the guns Sousuke keeps bringing to school aren't toys.Read more ›
Chidori doesn't know it, but genetically imprinted in her is vast amounts of dangerous information for super technology. Unfortunately for her, the KGB does know, and they want her.
Enter the shining knights of Mithril, dedicated to protecting the peace of the world and stopping any threats before they start. One of their agents, Sosuke Sagara, is assigned as Chidori's twenty-four hour body-guard, and he takes this job seriously.
Too bad that Chidori thinks that Sosuke is a pervert stalking her through the halls of her high school. Too bad the teacher at the high school thinks that Sosuke is a delinquent out to make trouble. Too bad that Chidori and 400 other people have just been kidnapped by the KGB's most ruthless mercenary.
This is some of the finest animation I've ever seen, with vivid colors, and smooth motion. And the series not only looks good, it's got the ability to go from comedic to dramatic without any sort of stumbling or hitches. While we laugh at Sosuke's plight as an undercover high-school student, we also cling to the edge of our seats as we watch the cruelty of their arch foe. Graphic violence, including gunshot wounds, blood, and some harsh physical violence.
Full Metal Panic is an alternate-world science fiction show in which the major powers use giant robots to fight, and a secret organization called Mithril fights terrorism and illegal drugs. The episodes on this first disc (of 7) move easily and smoothly between this serious aspect, and the show's comedy side, in which teenage Mithril sergeant Sousuke Sagara is ordered to guard high school girl Kaname Chidori without her knowledge. Sousuke is a great hero--as perfectly competent in his own military arena as he is incompetent in the social setting of high school. Kaname, who is the beautiful girl that no one wants as a girlfried because of her temper, is the perfect match for him. As is typical of these shows, we see this immediately, while the characters do not. But, as I said, FMP is not about originality.
If you want mind-bending shows with delusions of grandeur, FMP is not your show. But, if you want an enjoyable romp with likeable and attractive characters and an enjoyable setting, FMP is your show. This is what FMP is trying to be, and where it succeeds.
Sousuke is a teenager in an elite military organization that is sent to high school to protect a beautiful girl named Kaname, who harbors secret abilities and is a possible target of kidnapping. By the KGB. The KGB. I was waiting for the sneering moustached villain to show up, and he does, except with a bristle 5 o'clock shadow. And military and robotic technology has progressed enough to have giant piloted robots, Arm slaves, and cloaking devices.
Sousuke is a dangerous and cunning fighter with an efficient and professional organization behind him. Which, however, fails to tell him how to act or not act in high school. Like not bringing guns to school. And that thinks sending in a 50 foot robot, albeit cloaked, is good way to go undercover. It's just so cheesy.
I wanted to like to the show I really did. But what was over top were the peek-a-boo shots of Kaname's [...], legs, or [...]. What are the writers 13?! It's just too much hormone-filled school boy fantasy to even have fun with. And the funny parts are just too predictable to be comical.
But they do a good job of cliffhanging the episodes to make you want to see what's going to happen. And the characters are likable enough that you're not too bored. But there are better series out there.

Mounting evidence shows that companionship and community are a key component to overall health. No longer are they seen as sitting a few rungs up Maslow's hierarchy of needs; they are foundational to your well-being. This is true across all ages, including seniors. Feeling extreme loneliness, for example, has been shown to increase an older person's chances of premature death by 14 percent.
A myriad of factors are weighed when deciding to move into a senior living community. The opportunity for companionship and community should be one of them. When researching different senior living options, investigate the opportunities for social connections and interactions at each community.

DETROIT ¢ It wouldnÆt be a Detroit Red Wings home unless it wasnÆt decided until after 60 minutes of hockey.
And Tuesday night it went even longer than the extra five minutes played after a tie score at the end of regulation.
But again the outcome was the same, as the Wings fell to the Winnipeg Jets, 3-2, in a shootout at Joe Louis Arena.
ōItÆs tough when we donÆt get two points,ö Henrik Zetterberg said. ōWe did a lot of good things and I think we played solid defense, created enough chances to win and (Jimmy Howard) played good enough to win the game, but we canÆt find a way to go all the way. ItÆs frustrating. ItÆs tough. We want to win, but right now we canÆt find a way.ö
The Wings are now 0-1-5 in their last six games on home ice.
ōItÆs disappointing to not come away with two points, but I think it was a step in the right direction,ö Niklas Kronwall said. ōWe did a lot of good things out there. I thought we played a full 60 minutes. We kept going. Sure there were times when they were in our zone, but we kept our composure, staying on the inside and not giving them too many chances for free.ö
ItÆs the WingsÆ longest winless streak at home since the 1996-97 season and theyÆre not 3-2-5 at home this season.
ōDuring the season youÆre going to have you ups and downs and right now weÆre in a bit of a slump,ö Kronwall said. ōEveryone really worked hard, we kept going after them, going after them. It didnÆt matter if we were down by a goal, we kept going after them.
ōI think tonight was a step in the right direction,ö Kronwall continued. ōWe played decent hockey for 60 minutes. If we keep playing like this more often than not weÆre going to come away with two points.ö
Devin Setoguchi and Andrew Ladd scored in the shootout for Winnipeg, while Daniel Alfredsson was the lone goal scorer for the Wings, who had a season-high 43 shots on goal.
Ladd is now 5-for-5 in shootout chances this season.
Pavel Datsyuk scored both goals in regulation, both of which came on the power play and Jimmy Howard made 19 saves.
Bryan Little and Zach Bogosian scored for the Jets. Ondrej Pavelec made 41 saves.
ōWe played the games better and better, but we need to build it and build it,ö Datsyuk said.
The teams exchanged goals in the third period.
Bogosian walked in from the point, juking his way to free up a shooting lane, before firing a shot past Howard, who was caught out after going for the first faked attempt on goal midway through the third.
Then, Datsyuk got Detroit even with his second power play goal of the game.
The Wings contained the pressure in the JetsÆ zone due in large part to 49 seconds of a 5-on-3 man advantage.
Just as the first of the two penalties expired, Johan Franzen was stoned by Pavelec with this right bad, but Datsyuk was there to grab the rebound and shove the puck just inside the post.
ōWe got the puck back, we generated offense, scored some goals, had a good net presence,ö Babcock said of the WingsÆ power play that went 2-for-4 on the night. ōWe had just given up a second goal. We needed a big-time goal and we got it. I thought it was real good.ö
It was just DetroitÆs third power play goal over the last seven games.
Winnipeg had a chance to win it in overtime, with a little over a minute of power play time when Jakub Kindl was sent off for slashing. But a right pad save on Ladd by Howard and a blocked shot by Datsyuk sent the game into the shootout.
ōSometimes you win games when youÆre playing really well that you should probably and I thought this was a game we could have won easy tonight,ö Babcock said. ōTo me, thatÆs going in the right direction. WeÆve just got to keep positive about whatÆs going on and keep plugging.
ōWe didnÆt play bad against Dallas,ö Babcock added. ōI thought the worst game weÆve played was Tampa. They took it to us. We wind up getting a point. Any way you look at it, we probably deserved two against Dallas and probably didnÆt deserve any against Tampa.ö
The Jets got on the board first three minutes before the midway point of the first period.
Datsyuk was caught up ice after failing to swipe the puck at WinnipegÆs blue line, which led to an odd-man rush.
Little one timed a cross-ice pass from Blake Wheeler that Howard had no chance on.
Datsyuk made up for it and got the equalizer for the Wings on their second power play chance of the game.
After settling a cross-ice pass from Zetterberg, Datsyuk cranked a wrist shot into the open net before Pavelec could lunge back in time.
Zetterberg extended his point streak to six games, collecting four goals and five assists, in that time.
WinnipegÆs last regular season win at Joe Louis Arena came on Jan. 8, 1996. Former Wings netminder Tim Cheveldae made 43 saves the Jets in their 6-4 win. Chris Osgood took the loss, facing just 19 shots.

Shot mostly hand-held, with Roeg using dissolves, double-exposures, color alteration, freeze-frames, and other Optical Printing techniques, as well as stunning sound design, the mind is assaulted by an abundance of images that you just have to sit back and absorb and allow them to tie themselves together later, when you have time to think about it. In order to tie characters and relationships together, one will start a sentence while another, in an entirely different place and situation, will finish it. This is used to both connective and ironic effect. "Performance" also contains the first "Rock Video" and a Rap Song (in 1969) by a group of drumming poets.Read more ›
"If Performance does not upset audiences," he explained, "then it is nothing."
My friend Neil and I have been waiting for some time to see this film at the cinema. It hasn't been widely available on video for some time and has not yet been released on DVD.
So we were overjoyed to see it was being shown at the Electric Cinema a wonderful recently revamped cinema in Notting Hill Gate, not a hundred yards from Powis Square, one of the main locations in the film.
Performance was financed by Warner Brothers in the late 60's, though it was not released for two years after its completion due to WB demanding recuts and probably hoping the whole sordid little film would be forgotten about.
Thankfully it wasn't, and has over the years become something important and special to many people.
Performance starts as a seemingly straightforward East end gangster film, typical of the period. However when Chas, played to perfection by James Fox, takes refuge in the bohemian lair that is Turners (Jagger) Powis Square townhouse, the pace and the feel of the film change dramatically.
Turner is a retired rock icon who is wallowing in in a filthy corner of his psyche while he decides whether to try and recapture his mojo or continue his hermit like existence. However the hermit tag only applies to Turners lack of contact with fresh air, not many hermits have two pretty free spirits in the form of Pherber (Anita Pallenberg ) and Lucy (Michele Breton) roaming naked around their self imposed prisons.
Pallenberg is the wild blonde who was probably didn't find it too hard to get into character, at the time of filming she was actually Keith Richards's girlfriend, and tales of a jealous Richards watching over the set are abound.Read more ›
While you watch the film, remember that Keith Richards is waiting outside in his Bentley (writing You Got The Silver) while Anita (his girlfriend) seduces Mick (his best friend) for real on the closed set. The way I heard the story, when Cammell called the scene, to the amazement of the crew, they kept going through orgasm. Keith refused to give Cammell the newly recorded Let It Bleed songs for the soundtrack because of all this.....he told friends he knew that if he was on the set and saw Mick, the Stones would have been history....but the band was his life so he just waited it all out.
The studio shut down production and then refused to release the censored film for several years.Read more ›

WASHINGTON -- The National Hockey League enjoyed record October attendances with an average 16,820 fans per game as crowds rose more than 4 percent from the 2003-04 season, commissioner Gary Bettman said on Friday.
While the league suffered a season-long work stoppage a year ago, 23 of the league's 30 clubs have matched or are ahead of their 2003-04 attendances, Bettman said.
"The cynics were predicting that by taking a year off, which obviously is something nobody wanted to do, we would have destroyed our following and our fans would never come back," Bettman told Reuters in an interview on Friday.
"But hockey fans tend to be the most passionate, most connected, most knowledgeable about the sport, and our fans were telling us they wanted it fixed and they were being supportive of us during the entire process. Not only were the prognosticators wrong that we were going to be damaged, we've actually come back even stronger, which is
a testament to the game and a testament to our fans," he said.
Last month's attendance eclipsed the previous record of 16,397 set during October in the 1999-2000 campaign.
"Like all fans, we're thrilled that we're back and that the game is doing as well on the ice in terms of entertainment, excitement, speed and skill," Bettman said. "And that our fans
have been receptive."
Following last year's labor strife, the league slashed payrolls, implemented a new revenue-sharing system and tinkered with the game's rules to allow more scoring.
An average of 6.4 goals are now being scored per game, up from five during the last NHL season.
Some teams' attendances have skyrocketed, like the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are enjoying a 28 percent increase over the 2003-04 season to an average of 20,615.
"We don't take anything for granted," Bettman said. "Nobody's patting themselves on the back. What it's doing is vindicating our belief in the strength of our game and the
passion and loyalty of our great fans."
Other clubs, however, have stumbled at the gate. The Washington Capitals are averaging 12,313, down 11 percent.
"I think as we start to come out of the lockout and fans start to fall back in love with the new players, we'll capture that back," Capitals owner Ted Leonsis told Reuters. "My hope is within a few years we'll be right back to where we were.
"The league is in such better shape economically; it really put us in great shape too. Someone was joking last night when they said to me, 'Gee, you got beat pretty bad last night, 8-1, in Philadelphia.' I told them, 'Last year with a $50 million team, we got beat 8-2.' So our payroll is down way more than our ticket sales are. And now with revenue sharing, this is our best year ever financially," Leonsis said.
Bettman believes the new rules are only partially responsible for the overall attendance spike.
"It's the rule changes coupled with the new economic system which has given us better competitive balance," he said. "As you saw over the summer, there was a redistribution of talent so that now every team feels on any given night it has a chance.
"We are only about 20 percent through the season but we like what we're seeing," he said.

Canadian Banks, Speculation Curbs, 'Purge' Suit: Compliance
Compliance with IRS financial disclosure rules intended to nab U.S. tax evaders in Canada is proving complicated because of the large number of dual U.S. and Canadian citizens, tax lawyers on both sides of the border say.
Dual citizens must file annual U.S. tax returns and complete a separate yearly IRS filing if they have Canadian or other non-U.S. financial accounts of more than $10,000, under Internal Revenue Service rules.
A third program requires banks and other financial institutions in Canada to disclose the identities of U.S. account holders to the IRS or risk having a portion of their income from U.S. investments withheld as soon as 2014.
The head of the Canadian Bankers Association, Terry Campbell, said the country's 72 banks have no easy way of sifting through 20 million to 25 million accounts to find customers with a U.S. citizenship link.
Campbell, president of the Toronto-based Canadian Bankers Association, said the reporting requirements are "an enormous, enormous compliance burden" for the country's banks.
Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty called the U.S. reporting rules for banks and individuals burdensome and ineffective in combating tax evasion in a Sept. 16 statement.
The IRS "recognizes that many Canadians face complex tax situations because of dual citizenship," Terry Lemons, an IRS spokesman, said in a statement. Recent publicity about the issue "has spotlighted a number of areas that the IRS will consider in our continuing effort to strike the right balance in administering the U.S. tax laws," he said.

CFTC to Face Lawmaker Scrutiny Over Speculation Curbs
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which has yet to complete Dodd-Frank Act limits on excessive speculation, will face scrutiny about the trading curbs at an Oct. 6 hearing led by Senator Carl Levin.
CFTC chairman Gary Gensler will testify at the hearing of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, according to a statement released by Levin's office yesterday.
The CFTC, after delaying consideration in September, delayed a final vote on the regulations until an Oct. 18 Washington meeting, Steve Adamske, the agency's spokesman, said Sept. 27. The rule has among the most contentious stemming from Dodd-Frank, spurring more than 13,000 comments from supporters such as Delta Air Lines Inc. and opponents including Barclays Capital.
The agency has come under pressure from lawmakers to complete the speculation rule, originally proposed in January.
The CFTC and Securities and Exchange Commission are leading U.S. efforts to write new derivatives rules for the $601 trillion global swaps market after largely unregulated trades helped fuel the 2008 credit crisis. The rules will govern trades conducted by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and Cargill Inc., among other companies.
Basel Committee Agreed to Speed Up Review of Liquidity Plans
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision said it will speed up a review of draft liquidity rules for lenders that are intended to take effect at the start of 2015.
The review will be completed "well in advance" of an original mid-2013 deadline for finishing an assessment of the measures, the group said yesterday.
The so-called liquidity coverage ratio requires banks to hold enough easily saleable assets to survive a 30-day credit crunch.
Basel III Hurts European Companies More Than U.S., S&P Says
European companies will pay as much as 50 billion euros ($68 billion) a year in additional borrowing costs under new capital rules for banks and insurers, more than triple the amount for U.S. borrowers, Standard and Poor's said.
Higher funding costs, shortened loan maturities and a lower equity investor base may push up the cost of credit by 30 billion euros to 50 billion euros a year once Basel III and Solvency II are implemented fully by 2018, Blaise Ganguin, S&P's chief credit officer for Europe, wrote in a report. U.S. borrowers will see costs increase by $9 billion to $14 billion.
Basel III imposes a global regulatory standard on the capital adequacy and liquidity of banks, while Solvency II is designed to boost insurers' reserves. The euro-region crisis has left European lenders with as much as 300 billion euros of credit risk, according to the International Monetary Fund.
The new rules will lead to a 10 percent to 20 percent increase over current interest costs for corporate borrowers in Europe and the U.S., depending on banks' return on equity targets of 8 percent to 15 percent, according to S&P. The regulations are due to start in 2013, with the final stages of the banking reform introduced in 2018.

Dutch Arrest Four Men Suspected of $200 Million Ponzi Scheme
Dutch authorities arrested four men suspected of selling more than $200 million in investments in U.S. life insurance policies in an alleged Ponzi scheme.
Quality Investments BV is suspected of having sold investment products to hundreds of investors, mainly in the Netherlands and Belgium, the Dutch Fiscal Information and Investigation Service said in a statement yesterday.
Provident Capital Indemnity Ltd., the Costa Rica-based firm accused by U.S. prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission in January of conducting life settlement bonding fraud, would provide the securities, the Dutch authorities said.
No one at Quality Investments was available to comment on the allegations, according to a telephone operator at its Amsterdam offices, who declined to be identified.
Italy, Spain Extend Short-Selling Bans, Esma Says
Italian and Spanish financial market regulators extended temporary bans on short selling of financial shares that were introduced last month in a bid to stem market volatility, the European Securities and Markets Authority said in an e-mailed statement.
Italy's market regulator, Consob, said the ban, due to expire on Sept. 30, will remain in place until Nov. 11, according to a statement on its website.
The ban in Spain, also due to expire on Sept. 30, will remain in place "until the market conditions allow it to be lifted," Spain's market regulator said in Madrid.
U.K. to Close Loophole for Solar Park Extensions in October
The U.K. Department of Energy and Climate Change will eliminate a regulatory loophole allowing extensions to solar plants completed before August to receive higher incentives.
Extensions to solar parks built before the feed-in tariff solar premiums were cut on Aug. 1 won't qualify for the old tariffs from Oct. 18, according to the results of a consultation on the changes posted on the department's website Sept. 27. They will only be eligible for the rate available when they are completed.
On July 27, the government started a one-month consultation aiming to change the clause by the end of October.
Chaoda's Chairman, Fidelity Manager Accused of Insider Trading
Chaoda Modern Agriculture Holdings Ltd.'s Chairman Kwok Ho, Chief Financial Officer Andy Chan and Fidelity Management's George Stairs were accused by Hong Kong's financial secretary of insider trading.
The government alleges Kwok and Chan told Stairs about a June 2009 share placement three days before it was publicly announced, and the fund manager traded profitably as a result, according to a notice released by Hong Kong's Market Misconduct Tribunal Sept. 27.
While insider trading can be punished by 10 years in prison and a HK$10 million ($1.3 million) fine in a criminal court in Hong Kong, the tribunal hearing this civil case only has the power to disgorge profits made or losses avoided. It can also ban individuals from being a director or manager of a corporation, and from dealing in any securities.
Boston-based Fidelity Investments conducted a thorough internal review of the matter in 2009 and believes that Stairs didn't violate any laws or regulations, according to spokesman Vincent Loporchio.
"He continues to be an employee in good standing," Loporchio said.
Rimsky Yuen, a lawyer for Kwok, and Graham Harris, a lawyer for Andy Chan, didn't comment on the case after the proceedings.
Tribunal chairman Michael Lunn said he returned to Hong Kong yesterday afternoon to convene the hearing.
Spain, the Netherlands Given Deadline for Bank Capital Rules
The European Commission has handed Spain and the Netherlands a deadline of Dec. 29 to implement agreed changes to the region's bank capital rules.
The Dutch government has yet to adopt the necessary legislation to implement the measures, which include limits on the amount of loans a bank can make to a single business, the commission said. Spain needs to take "technical measures" to complete its application of the rules.
The changes originally had an Oct. 31 deadline across the European Union, the commission said today in an e-mailed statement.
U.K. FSA Fines Towry Investment $773,000 Over Incorrect Data
The U.K.'s Financial Services Authority fined Towry Investment Management Ltd. 494,000 pounds ($773,000) for misleading the regulator and failing to comply with client money rules, the FSA said in an e-mailed statement today.
The company "failed to maintain adequate records" of client money and provided "inaccurate information" to the FSA, the regulator said. Towry earned a 30 percent discount on the fine by agreeing to settle at an early stage.
Royal Bank of Scotland Faces Loan-Document Probe, FT Reports
Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, Britain's biggest government-owned bank, faces U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission scrutiny over demands by investors that it repurchase some debts, the Financial Times reported.
The inquiry is part of a probe into how financial firms handled faulty mortgage loans, the newspaper reported today, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. The regulator has sought information on "document deficiencies," related to remedial measures and early payment defaults, the London-based bank said in an Aug. 30 regulatory filing.
The SEC is investigating whether banks misled shareholders about how many loans they might be forced to repurchase because of early defaults, the Financial Times reported. Regulators are also investigating whether lenders had enough reserves to fund repurchases or handle related litigation, according to the report.
The SEC began an inquiry in October, which was converted into a formal investigation in January, according to the filing.
Pholida Phengsomphone, a spokeswoman for RBS, declined to comment on the inquiry. The bank is fully cooperating with the probe, according to the filing. John Nester, a spokesman for the SEC, declined to comment.
SEC Sued Over 1998 Policy of Purging Files Linked to Probes
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was accused in a lawsuit by a government watchdog of illegally destroying documents from probes of Bernard Madoff, Bank of America Corp. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington yesterday asked a federal judge in Washington to order the commission and its chairman, Mary Schapiro, to preserve investigative records and attempt to recover files that were destroyed.
The SEC's data policy came under scrutiny after Darcy Flynn, a 13-year SEC employee, claimed in a letter to U.S. Senator Charles Grassley that the agency destroyed documents including materials related to Goldman Sachs' trades of American International Group Inc. credit-default swaps in 2009, as well as insider-trading probes and investigations of possible financial fraud in 2007 and 2008.
John Nester, an SEC spokesman, declined to comment on the suit.
The case is Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington v. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 11-cv-01732, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).
SEC Sues NIR's Ribotsky for Stealing $1 Million From Clients
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued investment firm NIR Group LLC and its principal for allegedly hiding poor performance from investors and siphoning more than $1 million for personal use.
Corey Ribotsky, the sole managing member of Long Island-based NIR, wrote checks to himself from the firm's $876 million AJW family of hedge funds from 2004 to 2009, even after his head accountant told him he was violating the law, the SEC said yesterday in a complaint filed in federal court in New York. The agency also sued Daryl Dworkin, an NIR analyst accused of falsifying client reports under Ribotsky's direction.
Ribotsky used client funds to pay for luxury items including Lexus and Mercedes automobiles and a Rolex watch, the SEC said.
NIR and Ribotsky will fight the SEC's claims, according to a statement from Brad Gerstman, Ribotsky's lawyer. "The complaint appears to be a stretch in an attempt to justify approximately two years of time and resources poured into the investigation," Gerstman said.
German Banks Association Says EU Transaction Tax is 'Mistake'
Plans to introduce a European financial-transactions tax is a "mistake," according to the BdB Association of German Banks.
"Such a tax is dangerous for European financial markets and ultimately puts at risk economic growth," said Michael Kemmer, general manager of the BdB.
The European Union proposed a financial-transactions tax that would take effect in 2014 and raise about 57 billion euros ($78 billion) a year, prompting renewed opposition from the U.K.

Estonian Barley Skillet Bread
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 hr
A traditional Estonia bread that I am told is normally eaten warm with butter and honey. Sounds great to me!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1⁄2 cups barley flour
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄3 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed (optional)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Mix the dry ingredients and caraway seeds (if using) together in a large dish.
- Whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and vegetable oil.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Do not over mix. You will get something between batter and dough.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Brush an 8 inch cast-iron skillet with the butter.
- Spoon the mixture into the skillet and smooth top with a rubber spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining butter over the top.
- Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean for about 50 minutes.

This was very good with butter and honey. I wouldn't leave out the caraway seed, because I think it's what made me really enjoy this recipe. Thanks for posting!
Very tasty (I love caraway seeds). We served it with lots of honey. Mine was shaped funny, though, not like in the picture shown. I don't know enough about making bread to know what I did wrong.
This was really good. I made it in a very heavy stainless steel skillet, as I don't have a cast iron one, but it worked like a charm. I wasn't sure what to expect with the bread, but it came out resembling a very good beer bread, without the beer. :) It was dense, but not heavy, and all of the butter got soaked up as it cooled - yum! Thank you for sharing.

From Our Editors
Bolton Ice Palace ditches the red carpet in favor of a sprawling, 200'x85' rink that has sent New England skaters twirling across its surface for the past four decades. Typically open seven days per week for public sessions, the facility luxuriates each visit with modern amenities, including four locker rooms, a full-service vending room, and an onsite pro shop. Youth and men's hockey leagues consistently rub elbows with the boards, and learn-to-skate programs—designed by U.S. Figure Skating—help pintsize and full-size gliders alike become comfortable atop their blades. Customers can also rent out the Palace, turning it into a private event space to host birthdays, work functions, or to more accurately pinpoint the location of the zamboni operator's forlorn howls.

Skip to comments.If Paterson Has To Resign, Too
Posted on 03/22/2008 6:18:54 AM PDT by rellimpank
Ten days have passed since Governor Spitzer's resignation, and events seem to be running even further ahead than expected.
When David Paterson was sworn in as the 55th governor of New York State, he received an enthusiastic reception from a joint session of the legislature. His speech was considered a success, demonstrating awareness of the state's acute financial crisis but not describing specific reductions.
What we did not know was that a few hours later, the new governor and his wife would hold a press conference dealing with mutual marital infidelity for two years at the turn of the century. The pair answered questions from the press and said they had come to a difficult period in their marriage, stayed together for the sake of the children, and are now in love again.
Even before that, on the day Mr. Spitzer resigned and Mr. Paterson held an impromptu press conference, the new governor was asked by New York Sun reporter Jacob Gershman whether he had ever used the services of a prostitute. Mr. Paterson waited a moment and then replied, "Only the lobbyists." This witty rejoinder to a possibly impertinent question enhanced his reputation as a regular fellow.
(Excerpt) Read more at nysun.com ...
What's the line of succession? What happens when they run out of viable New Yorkers? Can they sub-contract the job out to a Texan?
...and, sadly, so have his recent revelations.
Is the Democratic party overrun with corruption and lust for power? Is there no one in the Democratic Part with even a shred of honor?
More like a "regular DEMOCRAT fellow."
No, the Indian is ours. They don't get to have Bobby. We're keeping Bobby for ourselves.
Next in line is the Republican speaker of the NY Legislature.
Talk about poetic justice~
Next in line is State Senate majority leader Joe Bruno(R). Joe is 79 so sex might not be an issue, but he is under investigation by the feds for misusing his office to benefit contributors.
Make no doubt, "opposition research" is already underway against the next in line just in case he resigns.
Do you think he saw this coming?
-—he should have learned Braille-—
Maybe they can get Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia to parachute in to serve as governor.
After all, New Yorkers seem happy with one carpet-bagging beeotch as their junior Senator, and Rockefeller's got that (in)famous name...
Republican state senate president pro-tem Joseph Bruno, followed by Democrat assembly speaker Sheldon Silver. After that, God only knows.
Do you think he cares? dems have always gotten on pass
I hear Sharpton's next in line...
And that is the reason the media is not clamoring for another resignation.
There's a Coat Room Attendant in Albany getting fitted for a New Suit & Tuxedo as I type.
Yes and they two are a couple of gems in their own right. Both New York & New Jersey are governed by corrupt swine.
Julie Annie seems to be looking for a new gig at the moment. Maybe they can get the "Nations Mayor" to once again come to their rescue. Bernie Kerick needs a job, too, I think!
If the current Assembly Speaker were to succeed to the Governor's job and then become similarly compromised, it would lend the term "Hi-Ho Silver" a whole 'nuther meaning...
Funny. Jeb Bush comes to mind as well.
Is the Democratic party overrun with corruption and lust for power? Is there no one in the Democratic Part with even a shred of honor?
The answer to both questions is no. The real question is, are the GOP politicians significantly better?
Mr. Stern thinks Mr. Silver should be governor. And who's to say Mr. Silver isn't a crook, too?
Now that Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman are gone, probably not.
If Patterson had to step down, I think the 'RATS would do everything they could to bring down Bruno. Wouldn't there have to be a special election to fill Bruno's old job as Senator. If a DemocRAT filled that seat, wouldn't the majority in the senate switch over to the DemocRATS? If that happened, might the DemocRATS want to get rid of Bruno and seat their own Majority Leader?
Bruno would have already been sworn in as governor...I would think it would take more than majority vote to remove him from office.
today it's probably
not to have had intermarital sex.
Spitzer Successor Boasts He Never Had to Pay Any of His Own Money for Sex
New Yorks Governor David Paterson (D) boasted that unlike his predecessor, the disgraced former Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer, hes never paid high or low priced prostitutes for sex.
Eliot doesnt have mojo, Paterson asserted. When youve got mojo like I have the babes beg for it.
Mojo, however, may not have been Patersons only asset in wooing the babes. It appears that campaign cash and appointments to state jobs may have played a role in greasing the skids for his liaisons.
At least two state employees have been alleged to have had illicit trysts with Paterson during the rocky years of his marriage. While there is no evidence of direct cash payments to any of the women, expenses incurred for hotels, meals, and incidentals were billed to his campaign as constituent services.
Paterson explained that he didnt feel it was right for constituents to service him at their expense. I am a gentleman, Paterson said. No gentleman makes a lady pay, especially if she is a constituent.

Will Joe Bruno Be New York's 3rd Governor This Year?
[Breaking Update]
Red State | March 20, 2008
Posted on 03/20/2008 10:42:40 PM EDT by Clintonfatigued
March 23, 2008 -- Add hopeless romantic to Gov. Paterson's fast-growing résumé. The new governor, who has admitted using campaign dollars to pay for suits, furniture and possibly hotel stays with an ex-lover, has spent nearly $5,000 of his election war chest on flowers in recent years.
Patterson's blooming flower budget includes at least 100 orders to 1-800-FLOWERS since August 2001, according to state campaign finance records. Paterson's staff could not produce documents to explain the purchases.
Such purchases came under sudden scrutiny since last Tuesday, when Paterson copped to carrying on extramarital affairs with several women in years past and said he might have funded at least one tryst with his campaign credit card. The disclosures came on his first full day as governor after Eliot Spitzer resigned.
On Friday, Paterson agreed to reimburse his campaign $252.17 for two nights in the Quality Inn on West 94th Street after his staff failed to find records of campaign aides staying there. Paterson also disclosed that he reimbursed his campaign for $2,138 in clothing and furniture.
The Jan. 20, 2003, flower bills suggested former state Sen. Ada Smith received one order of flowers. Patrice Lamelle, an employee with the Department of State, got the other.
Ousted NY Assemblyman and corrupt Dem party boss Clarence Norman Norman was tried, convicted, and received successive jail-terms for similar campaign transgressions Paterson admits to. Norman used campaign funds for pricey clothes and shoes.....and more.
DID PATERSON DO THIS? (1) Norman is accused of filing vouchers for travel expenses with the Assembly even though the Kings County Democratic Party had already footed the bill. (2) Norman was sentenced last month to 2-6 years in prison for not reporting thousands of dollars in in-kind political contributions and pocketing a $5,000 check intended for his re-election committee.
By ZACH HABERMAN Feb 15, 2006 The states highest court says ousted Assemblyman Clarence Norman will have to face trial again. The Court of Appeals said yesterday they would not listen to arguments by Normans legal team, who had hoped to get it to toss out charges that he cheated on his Assembly-paid travel expenses.
The dethroned Brooklyn Democratic Party boss, convicted twice last year of skirting campaign-finance rules, will now face his third criminal trial in less than seven months. Norman is accused of filing vouchers for travel expenses with the Assembly even though the Kings County Democratic Party had already footed the bill. He allegedly pulled off the penny-pinching scheme at least 76 times for a total of $5,585.We are prepared to go to trial on March 6, said Jerry Schmetterer, a spokesman for the Brooklyn DAs Office. A lawyer for Norman did not return a call for comment.
Norman was sentenced last month to two to six years in prison for not reporting thousands of dollars in in-kind political contributions and pocketing a $5,000 check intended for his re-election committee. Norman also faces a fourth indictment for strong-arming judicial candidates into using specific people to print their campaign literature. He is currently free on $110,000 bail. email@example.com http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/63611.htm
September 22, 2005 NY POST By JIM HINCH
Indicted (and later convicted) Brooklyn Dem boss Clarence Norman remembered his $13.75 bill for chicken wings, but somehow forgot to tell his campaign treasurer about more than $7,000 in allegedly illegal campaign contributions. Thats according to Normans testimony in his corruption trial. Prosecutors showed that in 2000, Norman billed his campaign account for $2.17 worth of toilet paper, $13.75 for the chicken and $42 for envelopes at Staples. But when it came to telling his campaign treasurer, Carmen Martinez, about thousands in printing bills he got an auto lobbyist to cover, Norman was suddenly too busy. Norman admitted that if he had told Martinez, she would have reported the bills which exceeded the $3,100 legal limit to regulators. Still, Supreme Court Justice Martin Marcus knocked two counts off Normans rap sheet
Cut to the chase....how many little bastards does he have runnin round?
More than Jessee?
More than Big Al?
Good question.
With all those sexcapades, musta been a few impending fatherhoods.
Although with abortion-worshippers like these depraved Dimocrats, love of abortion is a convenience to eradicate evidence of serial adultery.
Gosh, I guess every one of his supporters will have to dig a little deeper for the next campaign. He can really use the money. ;')
Yeah, he hasn't even started porking all the chicks in the governor's office, yet....God knows how much that'll cost the taxpayers.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

moho creative
It's pretty hard to imagine a better first highlight of moho's 2013 wedding season than Gwen & Bryan. When they signed on with us in May of last year, we knew immediately that we had two great new clients. But over the past 9 months, it became apparent that we gained two great new friends!
After several dinners, drinks, texts, emails, and a pre-shoot... there was no doubt in our mind, rain or shine, that this February wedding was going to be warm, welcoming, and perfect. It proves once again that it doesn't matter what's happening outside... it's really what's on the inside that counts.
Best of luck to our new friends Gwen & Bryan on their new married life together. We're so happy for the both of you!

I've been using this plugin for a while, but I have a couple of points about it.
The images don't have alt tags, or width and height tags, so this is not validated by http://validator.w3.org
Also, the images load slowly since they are coming from LinkedIn's website instead of form the module directory.
This is a minor thing, but on a site where I have several modules and alot going on in the theme layer, every little bit of performance makes a difference.

I tried to delete the line of options in BDD, it makes no difference.
In addition I have also designed the language file for French. I send it how?

This looks fixed in SVN.
1. type in the following text into a new buffer:
echo '[inside]\'[still inside]'[outside]
echo '[inside]\'[still inside]'[outside]
echo "[inside]\"[still inside]"[outside]
echo "[inside]\"[still inside]"[outside]
2. save it under any name, and then reload - that way the "shellscript" mode will be activated, and syntax coloring will start working
3. RESULT: it depends on the jEdit version:
jEdit 4.2: everyting is just fine,
jEdit 4.3pre9: first lines are colorized correctly, but in the last two lines the sequence \" is treated as an ending of the SPAN (but NOT as the beginning) - this should not be the case, because there is an attribute ESCAPE="\" in the RULEset, which should prevent that. The difference between the treatment of ' and " (in shellscript.xml) is that the former is a simple SPAN, whereas the latter is also DELEGATEd to another RULEset. Same stands for `.
The reason may be the transition away from the gnu.regexp engine, but I don't know enough about jEdit's core to claim that. I haven't checked any other version of jEdit, so I don't know exactly when this bug has been introduced. I am sure that the shellscript.xml itself doesn't do any harm to this, as the differences are minor and regarding only the "Readins" syntax (because of the use of the regular expressions).
This bug is really annoying, and has forced me to remove the DELEGATE attribute from both the ` and ", otherwise the syntax coloring goes mad (this is the main virtue of bash programming - above the certain level, this is really a write-only language :) ).
Although I haven't tested it, but I am almost sure this bug also concerns other, more popular :) programming languages.
Everything has been tested on WinXP SP2 (Polish), jre6 from Sun.

I've downloaded an .iso file but don't have a DVD writer at the moment - is there a recommended Virtual DVD drive that I can use to install from the .iso file?
Without knowing exactly what operating system you're running, I recommend using either VirtualCloneDrive or Magic Disc. Both are free and work on just about any version of Windows (including 64-bit versions). Plus they don't have the crapware that Daemon Tools tries to shove down your throat.
7-Zip will open ISOs too (as well as being generally superb.)
Assuming Windows, you can try Daemon Tools.
In Linux you can mount an ISO similarly to the way you mount other volumes:
Alternatively, if the installer doesn't mandate a "physical" volume to install from you can also extract the contents of the ISO file (archivers such as WinRAR are usually able to do this, but there's also special software for this) and run the installer from there.
I usually use PowerISO.
There are a few alternatives in this question providing that your are running Windows.
I'm using MagicISO myself and it works fine, although you have to buy a license to open ISO files larger than 300MB. An alternative is MagicDisc, a freeware virtual drive from MagicISO that can be used to mount ISO files as virtual drives.
There is a free program called AlZip that will let you open/extract an ISO file like a regular compressed file (zip, rar, etc) It also supports these other formats, of course. Get it here
edit: it used to be free (ad-supported) for non-commercial users, but they seem to have changed the policy recently...
Also check out all the other free utility programs this Korean company has created. I can't remember if it was AlZip, but one of them adds a very useful "create new folder" context menu item.
I use Total Commander plugin ISO:
It won't open certain ISO files though.
7Zip will allow you to extract ISO files, it also lets you extract the boot files from a Windows XP/Vista/7/etc ISO
There are a lots of software and tools can mount an ISO file. I've tested 2 or 3 tools and Virtual CloneDrive is my favorite for win XP and 7. And win 10 comes with built in ISO mount/Unmount support. I also have a tutorial about this http://pointblankpro.com/how-to-mount-an-iso-image-in-windows/
