Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .

Whether you're off on a long road trip or just popping down to the shops, it's always good to have your tech close at hand. This project shows you how to keep your phone and GPS device just where you need them, using Sugru + magnets + err the Queen! :)
OK let's explain. Recently we realised that certain coins here in UK are magnetic (1p's, 2p's, 5p's and 10p's). They are not as strong as a second magnet, but are perfect for some applications. In fact, all kinds of metal objects could be used...
This means you can make your Sugru + magnets kit go twice as far, just by substituting a magnet for the Queen's head! (For those of you outside the UK, a washer or something else magnetic can work too)
For the phone mount we used
- x1 minipack of Sugru - buy some Sugru
- x1 neodymium disc magnet - we used the magnets in the Sugru + magnets kit
- x1 UK copper coin (washers will work too)
For the GPS mount we used
- x2 minipacks of Sugru
- x2 neodymium disc magnets
- x2 UK copper coins
Check out our other 'ibles using our Sugru + magnets kit - including how to make awesome snap-on bike lights and this smart way to declutter your space.

Why is it that companies with mobile sites and apps don't optimize their email messages for mobile devices? As studies like this one show, reading email is one of the top and most frequent uses of mobile phones. Studies like this one report an average of 16 percent of email opens are on mobile devices, but I have clients with mobile email open rates up to 40 percent.
You can get a read of your audience by working with a rendering company that inserts code into an outgoing message. They can also show how email looks in the top mobile operating systems (OS). Even if the slice is small, it's growing, and the time to optimize your message for mobile is now.
Here are a few basic steps to guide you.
- Kill the "mobile version." Just say no to the "mobile version" that is a sad text message. Not only is it a terrible brand/user experience, but also unnecessary for the majority of smartphone owners. Per Nielsen's Mobile Insights, in Q4 2011, 76 percent of smartphone owners and 89 percent of recent purchasers bought an iPhone or Android. The only audience served by the "mobile version" is those with older BlackBerries who have very low expectations for HTML rendering on their phones. Android and iPhone users expect something much better than a text email. Come on people, it's 2012.
- Sweat the small stuff, i.e., the pre-header. That is, the HTML copy at the very top of the message. Do not use this precious real estate for your "add to address book" request. Only a small fraction of your readers will do this, and putting the request at the top won't make it more likely. Instead, present the most compelling answer to the email reader's question: WIIFM (what's in it for me?)? Make the pre-header and the subject line work together to deliver the answer.
- Concentrate on the top left. When images are loaded, Android users will see the content in the top left corner of the email. As with the subject line and pre-header, make sure this content provides a compelling reason to continue reading. No, not a call to action; I'm not going to act until I'm convinced and you don't have enough real estate to make your case. Yes, you may have to reconsider your logo placement.
- Simplify. Even on a large screen, a clean design and minimal copy look good and don't overwhelm our overloaded, multi-tasking brains. Although iPhones scale everything nicely, a cluttered email is still uninviting.
- Consult the experts. Talk to your design team about mobile optimization. There are a variety of strategies you can employ to fine-tune the size and scalability of your templates. If your team can't present a few options that balance your content, budget, and UE for both mobile and desktop readers, find one that can.
Email is an essential part of our lives. Make sure it is an essential part of your mobile presence.

In addition EdF will take on liabilities of around pounds 75m relating to Sweb's power purchasing agreements, increasing the cost of the takeover to pounds 235m.
The deal accelerates the consolidation taking place in the UK electricity industry and follows EdF's takeover of London Electricity last year, when it beat off British Energy with a bid of pounds 1.9bn. The combination of London Electricity and Sweb will give EdF a UK electricity supply business with 3.3 million customers and a 12 per cent share of the market. London Electricity has just under two million customers while Sweb has 1.3 million.
Unions immediately voiced fears for the 2,000-strong workforce of the combined business. Bruno Lescoeur, the chairman of London Electricity, refused to rule out job losses but he did pledge that it would retain a presence in the South-west as well as London and Sunderland, where London Electricity's call centre is based.
Regulatory approval for the deal is expected to take up to six months. The takeover will be examined initially by the European Commission but the main task of approving it is likely to fall to the Department of Trade and Industry and the electricity regulator Offer. Mr Lescoeur said: "I am confident there will be no regulatory problems because this deal makes sense for the consumer and there are no competition issues."
London Electricity executives also said that the Sweb deal would accelerate the separation of electricity supply from distribution, which the regulator has been pressing for.
EdF's acquisition of Sweb follows National Power's purchase of Midlands Electricity's supply business, which has 2.2 million customers, in a deal costing about pounds 300m.
The Sweb transaction works out at around pounds 180 per customer compared with the pounds 150 a customer National Power paid in the Midlands deal.
British Energy's failure to win Sweb means it is likely to redouble its efforts to buy the supply business of South Wales Electricity, which is also up for sale.
United Utilities is also planning to merge the supply business of Norweb with another electricity company. Eastern, which also bid unsuccessfully in the Sweb auction, is a possible partner.
EdF has set its sights on capturing 15 per cent of the UK electricity supply and generation markets and becoming one of the five or six big players that are expected to dominate the energy industry.
But its aggressive bid for Sweb may rekindle concern that it is exploiting its position as a state-owned business to gain an unfair advantage.
In addition to its 1.95 million electricity customers, London Electricity has 250,000 gas customers. Sweb, which is jointly owned by the two US utilities Southern Company and Pennsylvania Power and Light, covers Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, the Isles of Scilly and parts of Dorset and Gloucestershire.
Sweb's gas customers are excluded from the deal. A spokesman also emphasised that Sweb's electricity distribution business was not up for sale.

16 Reasons Why Athletes Are More Successful in Life
Sports Life Lesson 11: Be Focused in Your Efforts
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." – Bruce Lee
Athletes must be focused in their efforts if they want to become great at their sport. You can't become great at tennis if you spend too much of your time practicing billiards, basketball, golf and soccer. The same holds true in life. If there's something you want to be really great at, you need to focus your efforts on it and limit your distractions.

Smart, sophisticated and bound to win an Oscar nod or two, "Blue Jasmine" is an outstanding Woody Allen movie about the fall from grace of a Hamptons socialite who begins to unravel after her husband loses a fortune.
Cate Blanchett turns in an Academy Award-worthy performance as Jasmine, who heads to San Francisco after her entire life falls apart. We meet Jasmine, well-dressed and carrying matching Louis Vuitton luggage, on a plane where she babbles incessantly to her seat neighbor in first class. She simply is unable to stop talking about how she met her husband (Alec Baldwin) when "Blue Moon" was playing, nor can she stop providing intimate details of her life, right down to her medications.
Jasmine is disgusted with the appearance of the apartment occupied by her sister Ginger (Sally Hawkins, "Happy-Go-Lucky"), whose humble world includes her two constantly bickering sons and her blue-collar boyfriend Chili (Bobby Cannavale, "The Station Agent"). Also entering the picture from time to time, mostly in flashback sequences, is Ginger's ex-husband Augie (Andrew Dice Clay).
Immediately, Jasmine and Chili dislike each other. Chili thinks Jasmine is using Ginger, for whom she has had little time in the past. Jasmine thinks her sister can do better than this loud, beer-drinking fellow. Jasmine's arrival is ill-timed: Chili and Ginger were discussing moving in together, and now that plan has to go on hold.
Jasmine has dreams about taking online classes in interior design, but first she needs to understand how to operate a computer. So she begins to take classes and also begins work as a receptionist for a dentist. She finds this situation intolerable and far beneath her station, so she begins to drink more heavily while popping Xanax with each additional stressor.
The movie presents Jasmine at elaborate dinner parties, then muttering to herself under the strain of living with Ginger and the two boys. All the while, we see what Ginger either has chosen not to see or to ignore: Jasmine's husband was a smooth-talking liar and a cheat who victimized others for his ill-gotten gains.
As Jasmine continues her downward spiral, she rallies occasionally into her former classy, carefree self — long enough to attract a handsome diplomat (Peter Sarsgaard) who is unaware of her dire straits.
The movie owes its pedigree to "A Streetcar Named Desire," with its volatile relationship between Chili and Jasmine. But it's not a remake and stands on its own as one of Allen's top movies. It has its comedic moments to be sure, but it also depicts Jasmine's breakdown in compelling, dramatic scenes.
The secondary characters, including Louis C.K. as another love interest for Ginger, are every bit as interesting and well-developed as the leads. You will remember them all, and they won't be forgotten during awards season, either.

What People Are Saying About Lille
Knowledgeable guide, good background to city history
Guide was helpful and had a good knowledge of the history of the city. This was very useful to help us understand the place.
A fantastic and unique way to see the beautiful city of Lille
Our guide was incredibly well informed in the history of Lille, and we learned a lot whilst touring the popular sights and streets of historic Lille. The car is a unique experience, a reminder of a simpler way of driving and seeing life. It was clean and comfortable and I would love to own one! My friend and I both loved the experience and will recommend it to anyone who is visiting Lille.
A brilliant way to see Lille through the ages!!!
On meeting Tamasz, our guide and driver, we just knew that it was going to be an interesting way to see Lille. The 2CV was immaculate, Tamasz's knowledge, commentary and enthusiasm were all first class and his willingness to just stop and explain the historical, and current, facts and figures was second to none. All of this and mixed with some good humour,too. We learned and discovered more about Lille in the 1 hour guided tour with Tamasz then we could have by just wandering around with a guide book in our hands. The weather wasn't the best but, even with the roof rolled back on the old 2CV, it was an excellent way to see Lille and Tamasz is to be highly recommended for his customer service and positive attitude.
Fantastic experience, romantic, charming, enjoyable!
If you stay in Lille you just have to take the 2CV tour... English-speaking, beret-wearing French guide who was charming and knowledgeable with brilliant humour. This was the end of our stay and one of the highlights too... A great way to get about the town in an open top Citroen classic and see many sights you would otherwise miss.... BRILLIANT !

There is a good discussion of the various styles of reboilers in Hewitt, Shires & Bott – "Process Heat Transfer" Chapter 14. Falling film evaporators are also covered in Chapter 15. Falling film units typically utilize small temperature differences and avoid nucleate boiling so that fouling associated with this type of boiling is avoided. Thermally sensitive liquids are also frequently evaporated in this way.

Advances in customization and upgrade options for steel carports have taken what were at one time very basic structures to a level where they can be upgraded with insulation, intricate electric wiring, ventilation systems, and plumbing. This broad range of functionalities makes steel garages appropriate for applications which go well beyond providing protection and shelter for vehicles.
Advances in the design of steel carports have led an increasing number of people to choose them over traditional garages. These advances can either equal the benefits presented by traditional garages or exceed them.
Metal carports have so many customization options that they can now be built to meet a wide variety of uses beyond sheltering cars, boats, and recreational vehicles. With size options ranging from single to triple carports, metal carports can be used in their traditional ways but now offer opportunities where storage, recreation, and/or work space can be easily added as well.
The decision between buying a carport and building a garage often comes down to the financial circumstances of the buyer. As the customization and general level of quality have increased over time, the decision to buy a metal carport instead of a garage has become much easier. In fact, the carports of today can do just about anything a garage can do at a fraction of the cost.
Getting the most out of your recreational vehicle depends a great deal on how you care for it when it's not in use. By taking a few steps and making investments of a little time and money, an RV owner can enjoy an RV that runs and looks great while also carrying a high resale value. These following care tips can make a huge difference in an RV's performance, appearance, and value:

Job Description for Captain, Mate, or Pilot of Water Vessels
A substantial amount of cargo is transported by cargo ships and barges, and the harbors and ports that service these craft typically need support vehicles (such as tugboats) as well. Additionally, many places use ferries and passenger ships. The persons who command these watercraft work as a captain, mate, or pilot of water vessels.Read More...
Pilots or captains are ultimately responsible for the safe operation of their vessel. They supervise the work of any crew on board, work with any department heads or mates to assist with their concerns, and regularly perform safety inspections of the craft and crew to help ensure the vessel's continued safe operation. The captain should have an extensive knowledge of their boat, the environment and water conditions, and any related weather or navigational concerns.
The mate on a ship may be assigned either as a general first assistant to the captain or as a department head. Their role typically involves substantial direct supervision over crew members aboard the ship and likely includes more hands-on performance of assigned tasks than the captain.
The career path for captains, mates, and pilots of water vessels typically starts with working as a crew member or deckhand. A person may have some formal education or military service training in the operation of waterborne vessels as well, and many employers favor such individuals for more rapid promotion. A captain, pilot, or mate must possess extensive practical experience, as well as the proper certification and licenses to operate either cargo or passenger craft. Employees in this occupation spend much of their time aboard the vessels assigned to or owned by them, usually in transit on the water. In some cases, this may require overnight work.
Captain, Mate, or Pilot of Water Vessels Tasks
- Supervise or participate in company procedural programs such as Safety, Near Miss Reporting and Job Safety Analysis.
- Coordinate the operation of the vessel through the Port Captain, Port Engineer, and the Home Office while on duty
- Adhere to safety guidelines for proper handling of vessels and manage and ensure proper inventory of safety gear
- Oversee the loading and unloading of vessels.
- Complete drills and training of crew including Man Overboard (MOB), Fire, and Abandon ship.

Boom and bust banking; the causes and cures of the great recession.
Boom and bust banking; the causes and cures of the great recession.
Ed. by David Beckworth.
The Independent Institute
372 pages
Beckworth (economics, Western Kentucky University) unites contributors writing in the monetarist tradition, including an economist at the IMF, a policy maker with the OECD, a hedge fund manager, and professors of economics in the US and Canada, to explain the role of the Federal Reserve System in the Great Recession of 2008. Writing in terms accessible to most general readers and policy makers, contributors blame the housing bubble, boom-and-bust cycle, and wide swings in economic activity on the destabilizing policies of the US Federal Reserve. After an overview of US monetary policy and the financial crisis, they examine areas such as the Fed's asymmetric policies of 2003, the Fed's emergence as the US economy's central planner, and the global liquidity crisis. They also give recommendations on creating a better monetary system and avoiding the boom-and-bust cycle in the future. Beckworth is a research fellow at The Independent Institute. The book is distributed in the US by Independent Publisher's Group.

Wylie was our guide. He,s very good with the horses and riders. Very professional and great trail horses. We did the two hours trip. Thanks Wylie.
We took a two hour trail ride with Jim who was very knowledgeable about the area. They limit the rides to groups of 6 people so it is a nice a way to spend a few hours in Canmore.
We took the 2 hour trail ride through the fuzzy forest, we really enjoyed it we also had great views of Canmore! Our guide Wylie was really great, made us feel comfortable. It was nice being a small group of 3 girls, we felt secure! The horses were good and they are well taken care of.
Horses were very well trained. A family owned business. Our guide kept us all calm when we had an unexpected wildlife visitor. Was very helpful when the horses got spooked. Would definitely recommend!
Our party of 4 (parents and teen boys) took the 1 hour trail ride and really enjoyed it. We had great views of Canmore and the location and set up could not be more convenient. The horses were good tempered and docile and the small group (they only take up to 6 in a group) made us feel secure as...
My husband and I went on a one-hour trail ride at Cross Zee Ranch during our June 2016 honeymoon in Canmore/Banff. Our guide, Jim, was a great leader for the small group we were in. The scenery was gorgeous, and the mountain views from the trail were totally worth taking the chance that it might rain on us. Our trail...
This was the first time myself and two kids (12 & 16) have been trail riding and it was a great first experience. The guide was friendly and pointed out some interesting sites along the trail. The horses we rode were excellent, it was obvious that they had been doing this for a long time. We all felt safe on...
Guide was nice.Forest pretty but could hear road noise throughout almost the whole ride. Horses were old and plodding. Equipment was worn and ratty. Couldn't take a backpack or even water with us for an over two hour ride. No real mountain views except a couple of peeks thru the trees in a few spots. Not bad or awful. It...

Now retired Chilean judge Juan Guzman conducts a long, tedious investigation into the brutal killings and disappearances that took place during the country's Pinochet regime in The Judge and the General, an 84-minute documentary film that had its world premier recently at the San Francisco International Film Festival.
The film is Guzman's journey toward discovery; of the atrocities linked to Pinochet, and to his own self-awareness as a judge in search of truth who initially was skeptical about taking on the investigation. Guzman and his crew of lab technicians, police, and government officials travel to all corners of the country to study bones of those who were killed, interview their surviving family members, and review piles of documents.
One audience member at the San Francisco screening, during an open-mic Q&A, told Guzman he was a "fraud" and that he should be ashamed of himself for taking credit for taking down Pinochet. After the loud "Boos" and hisses (and one or two claps) died down, Guzman said, "You obviously don't know what you are talking about," and applause filled the room.

Here's a portion of that speech that David mentioned earlier today. It's kind of hard to tell which presumptive nominee is speaking.
If I am elected President, I will work with anyone who sincerely wants to get this country moving again. I will listen to any idea that is offered in good faith and intended to help solve our problems, not make them worse. I will seek the counsel of members of Congress from both parties in forming government policy before I ask them to support it. I will ask Democrats to serve in my administration. My administration will set a new standard for transparency and accountability. I will hold weekly press conferences. I will regularly brief the American people on the progress our policies have made and the setbacks we have encountered. When we make errors, I will confess them readily, and explain what we intend to do to correct them. I will ask Congress to grant me the privilege of coming before both houses to take questions, and address criticism, much the same as the Prime Minister of Great Britain appears regularly before the House of Commons.
A lot of this is admirable (who knows if it'll actually happen, but it's nice to hear), especially the last line about taking direct questions from the rank and file of Congress. But if McCain wants to "set a new standard for transparency," he might ask his wife to release her tax returns. That would meet the current standard of transparency.
Update: I would also add that the cause of political reconciliation isn't furthered by implying your opponent is a Nazi appeaser.

John McCain today gave a big speech to describe what the United States would look like in 2013, after four years of a McCain presidency. Boldly and confidently peering into that future, McCain sees that "the Iraq war has been won" and that "Iraq is a functioning democracy." The threat from the Taliban has been "greatly reduced," and Osama bin Laden has been captured or killed. Iran and North Korea no longer hold nuclear ambitions. Sudan is at peace. The United States economy is growing robustly. Government spending has been cut. New free trade agreements have led to prosperity at home and abroad. Public education is "much improved." Health care "has become more accessible to more Americans." The threat from global warming has declined. The border is secured. There have been no terrorist attacks against the United States.
In other words, a fairy tale.
In this address, McCain does not explain how he has managed to orchestrate all these miracles. It's nothing but a wish list. And in the news coverage of the speech, the media have focused on McCain's quasi-promise to win the Iraq war and withdraw most U.S. troops by 2013--which is certainly easier said than done. But what's most interesting about this speech is what's not in it: abortion and gay marriage.
Regarding these two top issues for social conservatives--many of whom have long been wary of McCain--the presumptive Republican nominee says nary a word. Looking into his crystal ball, he envisions no outlawing of abortion or gay marriage during his years in the White House. He doesn't even foresee an effort to do anything on these fronts. The closest he comes to addressing the priorities of the fundamentalist right is to note the appointment (and confirmation!) of federal judges "who understand that they were not sent there to write our laws but to enforce them." This is, of course, code language for judges willing to overturn Roe v. Wade and to hold the line against gay marriage. But McCain's de rigueur right-wing boilerplate hardly substitutes for a vision of a McCain-governed America in which abortion is criminalized and gay marriage banned across the land.
Any self-respecting social conservative should be enraged. On a day when the California Supreme Court has overturned the gay marriage ban, McCain's speech is insult added to injury. It goes to show that those leaders of the religious right who were suspicious of McCain were right to fret that McCain was only a fair-weather--that is, primary season--friend. In his future, their chief concerns are not even worth mentioning.

Roughly 70 percent of Americans believe there is "solid evidence" the earth is warming, according to new Pew poll numbers. Just under half think that warming is caused by human activity. That's disappointing — we've got more work to do, Mother Jones! — but not that surprising. On the other hand, try explaining this:
Over the last year and a half, the number of Americans who believe the Earth is warming has dropped. The decline is especially precipitous among Republicans: in January 2007, 62 percent accepted global warming, compared to just 49 percent now.
Or this!
...among college-educated poll respondents, 19 percent of Republicans believe that human activities are causing global warming, compared to 75 percent of Democrats. But take that college education away and Republican believers rise to 31 percent while Democrats drop to 52 percent.
Consider me stumped.

The California Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on gay marriage today in a ruling that will make California the second and largest state to allow gay and lesbian couples join together in matrimony.
On the steps of the courthouse in Sacramento, Stuart Gaffney and his partner John Lewis, among 19 plaintiffs in the case, were ecstatic. "I'm feeling just complete joy," Gaffney said. "Rarely is a legal decision so romantic, but this one means John and I can now be newlyweds after 21 years together."
Gaffney and Lewis were among thousands of couples married by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom in 2004 in a move that was immensely popular in San Francisco but inspired a conservative voter backlash across the country that many people blamed for hurting the electoral prospects of Sen. John Kerry. That August a California court annulled the marriages and appeals have been winding though state courts ever since.
Gaffney and Lewis, star plaintiffs in the case, have compared their fight for legal status to that faced by Gaffney's parents, whose marriage in the 1950s was not recognized in Missouri under the state's strict anti-miscegenation law. Gaffney's father was Irish and his mother was Chinese. California's landmark 1948 Perez v. Sharp ruling was nation's first to overturn such laws and had become a key precedent in the gay marriage case. More broadly, the case rested upon the California constitution's promise of individual liberty, due process, and equal protection under the law.
Although the ruling doesn't validate the 2004 marriages performed by Newsom, and conservative groups have vowed to push for another ballot measure to change the California constitution to specifically ban gay marriage, for now, gay and lesbian couples are in the clear to tie the knot. When Gaffney's mother called him today, she immediately asked, "When is your wedding day?"
"We are going to get married as soon as we can because we have waited long enough," Gaffney said. "But we are going to get married with our friends and families." He paused, fighting back tears. "I'm still just sort of floating from it," he said.
The mood was jubilant that afternoon in San Francisco, where city hall had joined the case as a plaintiff. After a triumphant press conference outside the Mayor's office, same-sex couples milled about and embraced beneath the rotunda as the PA system piped in love songs. "We were on complete pins and needles, very pointy pins and needles," said Jennifer Pizer a plaintiffs lawyer on the case. "And then we got the decision and started tearing up.
"For many of us this isn't just an exercise of the law, it's about our lives--whether we're good enough and our love is good enough." Pizer could not immediately say whether she'd now be getting married. "My partner of nearly 24 years has said yes," she added, "but I should probably talk to her first before I talk to anyone else."
The marriage party could be short lived, however. Conservative church groups have already collected 1.1 million signatures in favor of the anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment. If the state determines that 694,354 of those signatures are valid, the proposed amendment will qualify for the November ballot. Unlike Proposition 22, the gay marriage ban that was overturned today, the new ballot measure would be immune to court challenge. The question is how many among the 63 percent of Californians who'd supported Prop. 22 have changed their views toward gay marriage since the measure passed in 2000. "I think California has come a long, long way since then," Pizer said. "I think it changed a lot of people's minds to see how much it meant to couples to be able to marry in San Francisco."
As coincidence would have it, Robert and Amy McHale, a white and Asian couple from New York, had shown up in the city hall rotunda today in wedding dress and tuxedo, completely unaware that the Supreme Court had just passed down its landmark ruling. They'd come instead to snap wedding photos. As they stood on the granite steps bathed in the strobe of flash bulbs, a lesbian activist approached to congratulate them. "Understand that you are getting married on such a blessed and auspicious day," she said.
Robert McHale's thoughts on gay marriage? "Sure, why not?" he said. "That's fine if that makes people happy. We are all about happiness."

Not in the South, anyway. As you probably know, Democrat Travis Childers won a special election on Tuesday in a conservative Mississippi congressional district, scoring a big upset for the Dems that many political observers say is a sign of Democratic victories to come. The Republicans botched one part of the strategy, apparently (from the Times, via the Stump):
But the Republican strategy of trying to link Mr. Childers to more liberal national Democratic figures fell short, as it did in Louisiana. Indeed, voters here were bombarded by advertisements equating Mr. Childers with Senator Barack Obama, a tactic intended to turn conservative whites away from Mr. Childers.... [It] may have helped Mr. Childers more than it hurt him, as campaign aides reported heavy black turnout, heavier than in a vote three weeks ago when he came within 400 votes of winning.

I guess when you don't have any actual arguments for why you should be in charge, you rely on symbolism instead.
Here's my solution. Obama changes his name to Barack Flag Pin Obama. He automatically convinces everyone of his patriotism, and eliminates the most problematic part of his name. From then on, whenever someone says, "Why don't you wear a flag pin?" Obama can respond, "I am Flag Pin!"
David CornMay 15, 2008 10:53 AM
There is a lot of talk among political observers that John Edwards' better-late-than-never endorsement of Barack Obama will help Obama among working-class (read: white) voters, as Edwards extends his populist mantle to the near-presumptive Democratic nominee. Such talk is overstated, for Obama won't need Edwards in the fall to prove he's the populist in the race. With John McCain as the Republican nominee, Obama will have little competition in the most-populist category.
Too many commentators are, for the moment, still stuck in an Obama-versus-Clinton framework. That is so three-days-ago. The race is essentially over. Obama no longer needs to do better than Hillary Clinton among Democratic working-class voters in Democratic primaries. Clinton cannot overcome his lead in pledged delegates, and Obama has surpassed her in superdelegate commitments. (Edwards' endorsement is indeed one more signal that it's curtains for Clinton, and the handful of delegates pledged to him presumably will trot over to Obama's column.) So baring any unforeseen calamities or drama, Obama is it.
That means he no longer has to worry about having more populist appeal to Democratic voters than Clinton. His concern is McCain and attracting blue-collar and white voters in the general election against the Republican nominee. Sure, Edwards can help in that mission. But in some ways, this task is easier.
Jonathan SteinMay 15, 2008 9:49 AM
John McCain has been critical of China for its willingness to do business in Sudan. "China needs Sudan's oil," he has said. "The politics of oil impede the global progress of our values, and restrains governments from acting on the most basic impulses of human decency."
Turns out it's not just China that ignores Sudan's humanitarian atrocities in order to make a profit.
Cindy McCain, whose husband has been a critic of the violence in Sudan, sold off more than $2 million in mutual funds whose holdings include companies that do business in the African nation.
The sale on Wednesday came after The Associated Press questioned the investments in light of calls by John McCain, the likely Republican presidential nominee, for international financial sanctions against the Sudanese leadership.
Laura RozenMay 15, 2008 12:32 AM
President and Laura Bush attended an event in Jerusalem last night to celebrate sixty years of friendship between the US and Israel. The event was hosted by Israeli president Shimon Peres and honorary conference co-chairs Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, the Las Vegas casino mogul and conservative philanthropist and his Israeli physician wife. Among the evening's festivities, an interpretative dance number to "You've Got a Friend," Cold War style video interludes documenting US support to Israel at key moments since its creation, Israeli and Maryland children's choirs singing "Let It Be," and speeches by among others Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert, who is the target of a current corruption probe.
If Bush was looking for support in his belief that public opinion is fleeting but that history will be the ultimate judge of his presidency, he found it in spades last night here, where he is widely viewed as a determined leader who understood the terror threat and was willing to act to meet its challenge. Applause interrupted his speech -- replete with famliiar references to remaining steadfast against terror and advancing human liberty -- as well as the speeches of those paying tribute to him. Among others in attendance at the conference, Secretary of State Condolezza Rice, former Clinton Middle East hand Dennis Ross, former Clinton era US ambassadors to Israel Martin Indyk and Daniel Kurtzer, an Obama advisor, former Czech president Vaclav Havel, former British prime minister and Quartet leader Tony Blair, Google's Sergei Brin and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Though Bush was described as among the most supportive US presidents of Israel, some Israeli security officials have questioned not his good intentions toward their nation but the pragmatic outcomes of his policies, particularly as Hezbollah demonstrates its growing strength in Lebanon over the US-backed Siniora government and Hamas continues to launch rockets from Gaza into the town of Sderot and the city of Ashkelon. The Bush administration pushed Israel and Palestinian moderates to allow Hamas to run in 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections which Hamas then won, and it took over the Gaza strip last year.

Rock Star: Supernova has ended more than their season and the competition, it looks like the very name, "Supernova" may be a thing of the past. For the time being, for me, the name remains the same.
The choice has been made on Rock Star. A lead singer from the pool of the fifteen original contestants has been chosen. I predicted Lukas Rossi to win the competition the first night I watched the show, written in my commentary, Rock Star: Supernova First Light.
Entering the Rock Star: Supernova final four finale, the format at first confused me — down to four? Last season on Rock Star: INXS, the finale featured the top three contestants. Reviewing the results of the past few weeks of Rock Star: Supernova, Week Nine had Ryan Star, Dilana, and Storm Large in the bottom three with Ryan Star "tommyhawked" from the show. It was then announced that Magni carried the highest numbers of votes for the night, followed by Toby Rand. Week Ten, Dilana once again revisited the bottom three, joined by Storm Large and a surprise bottom three visitor, Lukas Rossi. Week Ten had The Iceman and the handsome Australian Toby Rand with the highest number of votes. Also, in the weeks prior to the finale, there had been discussion about a dual elimination in Week Ten. Instead, only Storm Large went home to sleep in her own bed.
One reason for two contestants from Rock Star not being sent home the tenth week could be as simple as the producers wanting to fill the last show with more material. One other reason, that if two had been sent home in week ten, the resulting finale would not have been as dramatic. Considering on Rock Star: Supernova there has been a big drama played out involving one of the finalists, Dilana, a finale without one of the main ratings cash cows, and biggest on-line draws would not be as exciting, or as possibly profitable. Week Ten was Dilana's second trip to the bottom three, so she'd have been the natural one to exit along with Storm Large. That would leave the finale with Lukas Rossi, Toby Rand, and Magni.
The Final Four show voting results were announced indicating bottom two of the week, Magni and Toby Rand. Magni delivered another hot performance of "Fire" and Toby Rand rocked out with Billy Idol's "White Wedding." Gilby Clark played hatchet man to deliver the news that Magni was the next to leave, but for some reason, he did not look surprised. No disrespect to dear Toby, but I think if he'd have come out and just farted into the mic. Magni would have still been selected to go home. Tommy Lee remained silent, hiding behind ridiculous black sunglasses. The '80s Corey Hart song, "Sunglasses at Night" began running through my mind, "I wear my sunglasses at night, So I can so I can, Watch you live and breathe your storylines,(And) I wear my sunglasses at night, So I can so I can, Keep track of the visions in my eyes…"
Moving on, this is when the show really began to take an awkward slant. Focus switched abruptly, like a massive editing chop had taken place. The show continued without any indication Magni had ever been there. (This was the 'Top Four Elimination Show', right?) Considering the previous two weeks' outcomes, and then the show going with a final four concept, a fitting way to run this would have been to have the bottom three in votes compete, then Supernova eliminate two, then have the top two compete one more time.
The format, as it stands, reeks with set up. This was designed to set-up the elimination of a certain contestant. Regardless, they would have achieved their desired effect without it looking so cheesily manipulated. Adding to the choppiness of this finale, the producers trot out the 'look-back' vignettes, recapping highlights of the remaining three performers. With Magni just booted off, and in the middle of this show, it felt really odd and misplaced.
The show resumed staged like the start of a whole new episode, with Dilana and Toby and Lukas having their sing-off. This time (and no surprise for me), the handsome and adorable Aussie is sent packing, with Dilana and Lukas still standing. Tommy Lee and the guys in this now unnamed band showed their love and appreciation for the two remaining, and it was obvious how much Tommy Lee and company favored them. A commercial break was ordered so they could ponder their decision one more time, and if you got up, you missed yet another misstep: CBS ran a Survivor commercial, which had snippets of Lukas singing as the winner. I'm thinking as I watched it, well that's one massive commercial spoiler.
The show resumed with Tommy Lee encouraging a shouting match between the Dilana and the Lukas camps in the audience. This promoted his lead in to eliminate Dilana. She seemed genuinely surprised at the outcome. Lukas sang the "Supernova" song, "Be Yourself," complete with odd camera edits. Lukas switches from white plastic sunglasses (he wears his sunglasses at night, too) into smoke colored shades. As viewers, we don't see the when or the why of this switch and it is edited to look like they all ran down there immediately to perform. Just one more thing that contributed to the herky jerky feel of this finale.
Lukas Rossi, new job: lead singer for "Supernova." Tuesday night, last night of the competition phase, Luke performed Coldplay's "Fix It." He said the song brought his Dad to mind, the problems they have experienced. He also did an acoustic version of his original, "Head Spin." His performance was delivered Rossi-style — Luke glammed out with more glitter eye make-up than my daughter's Brat dolls. Overall, I have to hand it to him, he is definitely an effective showman. He convinces and he sells his songs. His tour with the band formerly known as "Supernova" will give him tremendous exposure and allow him to further himself musically. Hey, I understand why he won, I get it, I picked him to take this on night one.
Dilana, close, but no cigar. It seems Dilana has been miraculously cured of her torn calf muscle and was in full robust form this week, traversing the studio audience in the last competition performance night. She excelled in her rendition of "Roxanne," picking a style fit for her voice. Bringing up the other contestants to accompany her on backup was brilliant and a very sweet move. She also did her original song, "Super Soul" and attempted to do some damage recovery by stating it was not actually a 'screw you' song, but really a song about freedom. Apparently a lot of folks bought that convoluted rationale; she entered decision night with the highest number of votes. Dilana was very upbeat and confident in her attitude on the decision night and, from what I heard from an attending audience member, there was a mishap when the winner was announced, and a misunderstanding regarding who was actually chosen at first. I am sad for her. She very obviously wanted this gig for what it's going to be worth. Dilana is a talent; she has garnered a big fanbase from exposure from this show, and through this, she should be able to obtain success on her own. We need some great female rockers in the rock music scene today.
Toby Rand, handsome, energetic, talented, and upbeat came in third place. His performances the last night of the competition was inspired. He performed Radiohead's "Karma Police" and his original crowd pleaser, "Throw It Away." He pulled Magni on stage with him to play guitar, saying he did not want to do it without him and called him a "great man from Iceland" and "the real deal." I love his attitude, his talent, and abilities — he will go on. Perhaps a uniting of he and Magni would be a good thing to consider. They certainly worked well together at CityWalk. During the decision night, Toby seemed much more subdued. Of course, that could have been nerves, but it was almost like he knew. "EVS", Toby and may good luck and fortune follow you.
Magni, the beautiful, talented man from Iceland. It has been an incredible bonus to discover him through this reality show offering from Mark Burnett Productions. Tuesday night, during the last night of competition, Magni performed Deep Purple's "Hush." More than likely, it was simply a coincidence, but I had, in fangirly fashion, written him on his MSN blogsite and mentioned that I thought his playing some Deep Purple would be killer. I had another song in mind but this choice turned out to be a better one.
He accompanied himself on guitar and gave up some great energy and vocals. He is a natural on the stage, without gimmicks or pretense, just awesome and real rock 'n roll. In the theme of performing originals, he performed his original song, "When the Time Comes," and I really loved his delivery of this song. This was one of Magni's hardest hitting rocker nights and I ate it up like good cake. The only problem being, it was over too soon.
Magni did not win this because of a lack of abilities, but because of a bad band fit. Tommy Lee had an idea and a vision in his mind at the onset of what he wanted in a frontman. Magni did not fit that image, no matter that he was the best singer of this competition with the most powerful vocal drives. I'm hoping this will encourage Magni to leave Iceland and give it a try Stateside.
Tommy Lee pointed at Lukas at one point during this season and said, "That's a ___ Rock Star!" This is a prime example of why Magni did not win this competition — Tommy Lee's personal conception and definition of a Rock Star.
In closing, most likely within the next week, news will emerge revealing the choice of a new title for this reality show band.. They could very likely get around the legal issues by simply calling themselves, "Rock Star: Supernova". Maybe the addition of "Rock Star" would be sufficient to alleviate conflict of ownership. Regardless, this group plans to put out a CD and do a tour, and that may very well be the end of this venture. It did make for a piece of decent Summer entertainment. Rock on.Powered by Sidelines

This kit improves scope mounting two ways. First, the short bars let you know when the front ring is in perfect alignment with the rear one. Second, lapping the inside of the scope rings will reduce or eliminate any shifting of the scope inside the rings and will also remove machining marks that can scratch the finish on the scope. This is "State-of-the-Art" scope mounting and will provide you with confidence that the job has been done right. The kit included 2 alignment rods, lapping rod with handle (8" steel shaft, plastic ball handle) and 1 oz jar of 220 grit high quality silicon carbide lapping compound. Properly aligned rings create more surface contact with the scope tube to keep scopes in place during heavy recoil. Misaligned rings cause stress on the scope tube, which can dent the tube, distort the reticle, and cause adjustment problems. Scopes will need to be sighted in following the use of this kit.
