James Gray MP raised the latest unemployment figures for North Wiltshire in yesterday's Work and Pension questions and asked the Secretary of State about so-called 'ghost job vacancies' which may have inflated the figure of 294 Jobcentre Plus vacancies beyond the number of jobs which are actually available in North Wiltshire.
Secretary of State Yvette Cooper responded that employment agencies should act reputably and should not operate in any way that is fraudulent when putting forward vacancies, whatever their motive for doing so.
James said afterwards, "It is clear that only a Conservative Government will provide the change we need to get Britain working and help those who are currently unemployed to find work. I believe that our Work Programme will simplify Labour's complicated back-to-work programme, as well as providing extra opportunities for people looking for work through additional apprenticeships and training places."

Put it this way: Jazz is a good barometer of freedom… In its beginnings, the United States of America spawned certain ideals of freedom and independence through which, eventually, jazz was evolved, and the music is so free that many people say it is the only unhampered, unhindered expression of complete freedom yet produced in this country.~~~Duke Ellington

Wrestling: Local wrestling teams piling up wins early
By Justin Thomas, firstname.lastname@example.com
Two weeks have passed, but the record for Coppell's wrestling team is still spotless.
Following a perfect 5-0 mark at the Coppell Round-Up, which they hosted, the Cowboys continued their solid start with a trio of wins at a quad meet at Rockwall Heath.
Coppell notched wins over Heath, Frisco Wakeland and Houston Westside.
Thus far, Coppell's Daniel Murillo (132) and Gerry Meddaugh (160) are unbeaten on the season.
The Cowgirls, meanwhile, placed fifth out of 22 teams at a tournament it hosted. Frisco Liberty won the event.
Individually, Stephanie Martinez placed second (148), with Anna Woo in third (102) and Helo Dade in fourth (138).
Coppell continues this week with the boys at the Tri-State Invitational at Lake Highlands and the girls in action at the Texas Ladies Classic in Frisco.
"They're a couple of big time tournaments," Lowery said. "It should be good competition for both teams."
Carroll also recently kicked off its season, competing at the Thanksgiving Throwdown Duals in Frisco.
Short-handed partially as a result of Carroll's run in the football playoffs, the Dragons started five freshmen and three sophomores in their 14-man rotation.
Carroll picked up wins over Skyline (twice), Liberty and McKinney, but came up short against Heath. The Dragons were paced by strong showings from Michael Basler, Brandon Magee, Dustin Flegle, Jacob Swoyer and Matt Spuria.
Next up for Carroll is a dual meet Thursday at Frisco Wakeland.
The Colony, meanwhile, started its season Nov. 17 at the Warrior Invitational hosted by Arlington Martin.
The Cougars finished second as a team and had multiple wrestlers on the medal stand.
First-place finishers for The Colony were Colt Stowe (138) and Nick Thornhill (180) with Andrew Brown (132) in second, Jose Estala in second (145) and Jake Green in third (160).

HBO's vampires are top disc sellers, but MTV's wolves deliver a better show
"True Blood: The Complete Fifth Season" (HBO), HBO's gothic pulp vampire melodrama, goes for broke with the most extreme season yet: more blood, more conspiracies, more transformations, and way more internal wars within and between the species.
Bill and Eric (Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgård) get called before the Vampire Authority, a cult-like vampire cabal (led by guest star Christopher Meloni) with an insidious plot that involves the vampire goddess Lilith and hallucinogen-fueled trips. The werewolf pack gets a scruffy new alpha who makes them the V-addicted lapdogs of the vampires. War vet Terry (Todd Lowe) is pursued by a fire demon. Heartbroken Hoyt (Jim Parrack) joins an anti-vamp hate group. Jason keeps screwing himself into more trouble. The Fey… will, they just keep partying on in their alternate dimension nightclub. And, how yeah, Tara is a vampire and she's pretty pissed about it.
Oh Sookie! Our ostensible heroine (Anna Paquin) seems just a bystander anymore, the all-purpose damsel in distress for a growing number of protectors (add Joe Manganiello's wolfman Alcide to the ranks). It's all pretty silly and feels rudderless, like a supernatural soap opera tossing everything into the mix for shock value and exploitation spectacle (blood and sex: the pay-cable formula!). It's the final season with series creator Alan Ball (who took the characters from Charlaine Harris' books and went his own way with them) and seems out of ideas. Hard to tell if things will get better with the next season, but there are a lot of fans who figure any change has got to be an improvement at this point.
The show still has passionate followers addicted to the supernatural soap opera and the discs remains TV bestsellers. That's fine, but for those less sanguine about the changes in the show, might I suggest taking a look at "Teen Wolf: Season 2" (Fox).
MTV's entry in the supernatural teenager series, is turning out to be one of the best of the genre, interesting and engaging and a lot smarter than "True Blood." The first season (available on DVD, Netflix Instant, and VOD) reworked the eighties horror comedy as a coming-of-age drama by way of young adult melodrama for the post-"Buffy" era, with a supernatural Romeo and Juliet story at the center: teen wolf Tyler Posey is in love with new girl Crystal Reed, who just happens to come from a line of werewolf hunters.

Soderbergh's intelligent take on a familiar genre reminds us how much we'll miss his touch
Steven Soderbergh says that "Side Effects" (Universal) is his last theatrical feature before retirement (he doesn't count his upcoming made-for-HBO film "Behind the Candelabra"). The modestly scaled but satisfying thriller reminds us just how much we'll miss his take presence on the big screen.
What begins as a medical drama of wonder drugs and pharmaceutical conspiracy turns into a sly psychological thriller, with Jude Law as a committed psychiatrist and Rooney Mara as a troubled patient with a coldly calculating soul. Law prescribes a new, experimental drug to combat her depression and anxiety attacks (recommended by fellow therapist Catherine Zeta-Jones, all very controlled and steely), Mara ends up killing her husband (Channing Tatum) in a sleepwalking nightmare, and the more he looks into the suppressed side effects of the drug, the more suspicions are raised about the whole situation. Meanwhile the film's observation on how cozy the medical profession is with the pharmaceutical industry, and how her murder trial is intertwined with big business and medical malpractice, puts a whole new angle on the stakes of the murder trial.
"Side Effects" is less twisty in retrospect than it appears as the drama unfolds moment to moment. Like so many of Soderbergh's films, it turns on human nature, perception, and expectations, which Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Z. Burns play with to great effect. As Law's ambitious, seemingly sincere, and possibly paranoid psychiatrist says, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Fittingly the entire last act rests on that simple observation.
Soderbergh has been bringing a sharp intelligence and a strong understanding of character to his films throughout his career, but beginning with "Out of Sight," he's been playing increasingly with genre films and pulp stories and making clever, intriguing, surprising films of them. (I cover many of them in a survey of Soderbergh's career for MSN Movies here.) He doesn't refashion the stories so much as hone in on their reason for being and focus on those aspects, pulling character out of types and fashioning human stories out of plots. "Side Effects" is like Soderbergh's take on the Joe Esterhaus thrillers of the nineties, only smarter, more clinically-focused (as Soderbergh is wont to do), and without the ice picks. For all the twists, this is a thriller that turns on character.
MSN film critic James Rocchi proclaims it "a nice farewell: fun and smart, with cutting satire and blunt shocks. In fact, looking at the shooting and story of "Side Effects," it's almost perfect."
Blu-ray and DVD, with featurettes and the two fictional pharmaceutical commercials seen the films. The Blu-ray also includes a bonus DVD, digital copy of the film for portable media players, and UltraViolet digital copy for download and instant streaming.

Enter to win a Blu-ray collection of the great gangster movies, classic and contemporary
Warner Bros. created the modern gangster movie in the early thirties, when they were the kings of high-energy, street-smart filmmaking. The genre remained dear to the studio throughout its history.
They pay tribute the best of their gangster films, yesterday and today, with two Blu-ray box sets: "Ultimate Gangsters Collection: Classics" (Warner) and "Ultimate Gangsters Collection: Contemporary" (Warner). Both debut on Tuesday, May 21.
Bing: 'Ultimate Gangster Collection' Blu-ray
To celebrate the release, MSN and Warner Home Video are giving away a gift set of both volumes: nine films in two sets.
"Classics" offers the respective Blu-ray debuts of four landmark gangster movies -- "Little Caesar" (1931) with Edward G. Robinson, "The Public Enemy" (1931) with James Cagney, "The Petrified Forest" (1936) with Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart, and the incendiary "White Heat" (1949) with Cagney -- plus a bonus DVD with the documentary "Public Enemies: The Golden Age of the Gangster Film."
"Contemporary" collects five films that have previously been released on Blu-ray, including three by Martin Scorsese -- "Mean Streets" (1973), Oscar-nominates "Goodfellas" (1990), and Oscar-winning "The Departed" (2006) -- plus Brian DePalma's "The Untouchables" (1987) with Kevin Costner and Robert DeNiro and Michael Mann's "Heat" (1995) with DeNiro and Al Pacino.

And much more in Videodrone's first monthly round-up of documentary and non-fiction releases
"Mel Brooks: Make a Noise" (Shout! Factory), the new profile of the legendary writer / director / actor / producer / all around funnyman from filmmaker Robert Trachtenberg, premieres on the PBS arts showcase "American Masters" on Monday, May 20, and debuts on DVD the next day. "A raconteur of the first order, Brooks is also gifted with near-total recall, and a wit that hasn't ebbed with the passage of time," writes Variety TV critic Brian Lowry. "In Robert Trachtenberg's film, Brooks concedes every bad review is like "a knife through your heart." In savoring this valentine, that organ and every other can rest easy."
Shout! Factory has been doing right by Brooks, with its deluxe five-disc set "The Incredible Mel Brooks" (featuring some other standout documentaries and specials on Brooks) released in 2012. This joins the ongoing tribute, and the disc features bonus segments filmed for but not included in the documentary.
"Citizen Hearst" (HBO) profiles William Randolph Hearst, the legendary media mogul and yellow journalist, and the empire that continues on in his wake. "Sometimes "Citizen Hearst" feels as breezy and electric as the newsreels Hearst pioneered," observes Village Voice film critic Alan Scherstuhl, "other times it feels like the video they'll make you watch during orientation on your first day at 300 West 57th." Leslie Iwerks directs and William H. Macy narrates. DVD, with 30 minutes of bonus footage and the "Heart Castle" episodes of the A&E series "America's Castles."
"Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters" (Zeitgeist) profiles the acclaimed photographer as he worked on his magnum opus, a collection of massive prints he called "Beneath the Roses." "For those unfamiliar with Crewdson's oeuvre, the docu serves as a delicious eye-opener, while for fans it furnishes an unprecedented look at his long-secret methods, utilizing crews and budgets suitable for independent features, by which his eerily frozen moments of Americana come into being," writes Variety film critic Ronnie Scheib. The DVD includes deleted scenes, bonus interviews, and a Q&A at a screening at LACMA with director Ben Shapiro, Crewdson, and writer Jonathan Lethem.
"Last Summer Won't Happen" (Icarus) is a 1968 portrait of the East Village culture after the summer of love, with Abbie Hoffman, Paul Kassner, and Phil Ochs (among others) commenting on the political changes in the counter culture movement. Peter Gessner and Tom Hurwitz direct, and the disc features the bonus 1966 short "Time of the Locust" from Gessner and new interviews with the filmmakers. DVD.
"Witness: A World in Conflict Through a Lens" (HBO), a four-part series from producer Michael Mann and director David Frankham, follows three combat photojournalists through some of the most dangerous places in the world. Not war zones per se, but regions rife with drug trafficking, poverty, gangs, and corruption in Mexico, Brazil, Libya, and South Sudan. The series was produced for HBO, one of the few networks that still invests in investigative journalism and social and political documentary filmmaker. DVD. Review at The Hollywood Reporter.
The six-part "Marley Africa Road Trip" (Arc) follows brothers Ziggy, Riohan, and Robbie Marley on a motorcycle road tour across Africa, with stops along the way for concerts. Director David Alexanian previously shot the motorcycle road trips of Charlie Boorman and Ewan McGregor. DVD.

'3:10 to Yuma' and 'Jubal' get the Criterion treatment
"Jubal" (Criterion)
"3:10 to Yuma" (Criterion)
Delmer Daves was a Hollywood pro with a long career and an impressive filmography. He established himself as a screenwriter with a series of light comedies and romantic melodramas (including the original 1939 "Love Affair") before stepping behind the camera with the World War II adventure "Destination Tokyo." Like most directors of his era, he moved easily between all genres – war pictures, romances, melodrama, and a few noir-inflected dramas (notably "The Red House" and "Dark Passage"), but he proved his affinity for the western from his very first effort in the genre, the 1950 classic "Broken Arrow." Along with his fine eye for imagery, Daves brought a psychological dimension and an adult sensibility to his westerns. In his best films, his characters had relationships and emotions that came out of real life.
Criterion's stamp on two of his most interesting westerns may help bring a little more attention to the director. "Jubal" (Criterion) is the first of three westerns Daves made with actor Glenn Ford, already a seasoned western presence by 1956. Here he's an itinerate cowhand and a wary loner hired by rancher Ernest Borgnine, a garrulous, generous guy who becomes both father figure and best friend to the emotionally bottled up cowhand. It's been called "Othello" on the range, with Rod Steiger as the bitter ranch hand playing Iago to Borgnine's Othello, but the Desdemona of this piece is no innocent victim but a dark, exotic beauty (she's Canadian, apparently to explain away Valerie French's accent) in a stifling marriage to the sincere but crude and boisterous cattleman. Young and deeply disenchanted, she sets her eyes on the simple, stoic cowboy.
This is less a Shakespeare western than a Hollywood melodrama in chaps and Daves was a seasoned hand at both genres. He favors suspense to action and violence, tightening the tension until Steiger (himself spurned by French) finally pushes his boss over the edge and the cycle of violence begins. Even then, the violence is brief and abrupt and Daves leaves the most brutal assault offscreen. Noah Beery Jr. and John Dierkes offer easy-going support as Ford's friendly bunkmates and fellow cowhands and Charles Bronson takes a small but key role as a plain-speaking cowhand whose loyalty to Ford's Jubal is unshakable even when Steiger turns the town against him. Daves brings out Bronson's easy-going humor and understated style, a side so rarely tapped by other directors.
The sprawling, dazzling, ambitious epic gets a second life on home video
"Cloud Atlas" (Warner) wants nothing for ambition. Jumping between six distinctive stories in six different eras, with a cast that plays different (yet connected) parts in the various storyline, it's at once literal and evasive, a film that wears its heart on its beautifully stitched sleeve and its meaning in its design and yet finds so many facets in which to mirror its ideas throughout its incarnations. Which it does for almost three hours, in stories that span centuries, from the slave trade of the 19th century to a post-apocalyptic culture centuries into the future.
Lana and Andy Wachowski ("The Matrix" trilogy) collaborate with Tom Tykwer ("Run Lola Run" and "Perfume"), adapting David Mitchell's novel together and splitting the directing duties. They all seem to be on the same page here, charting both the best and worst in mankind through the ages and into the future. The continuity of character throughout can be comic (see Hugo Weaving as the eternal thug through ages, as if Agent Smith escaped the Matrix to infect history) and glaringly obvious (Hugh Grant as tyranny with the face of authority), and of all people Tom Hanks stumbles through some of the clumsiest caricatures ever foisted upon a star-studded production, but it's clever enough to keep you dancing through the changes. And at its best, "Cloud Atlas" is sprawling, inventive, ambitious, naïve, and thrilling. The momentum never lets up and sometimes it alone is all that keeps you moving through the weave of stories, but it can be enough. The images are dazzling and the transitions witty, sometime turning on a line, sometimes an image, sometimes it's not clear at all what the trigger is until later. But obvious or not, it's all connected. Check out MSN's exclusive "Cloud Atlas" infographic for more on the different stories, characters, and time periods, and the connections between them.
MSN film critic Glenn Kenny isn't as taken with the film as I was. Though he calls it "the most sprawlingly ambitious ostensibly mainstream motion picture I've seen in years," he admits that "the filmmaking itself, while incredibly advanced on a technological level, is kind of mind-numbingly literal." Filling in the leads and key supporting roles across the stories are Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Ben Whishaw, and James D'Arcy.
Blu-ray and DVD, with the featurette "A Film Like No Other," an overview that plays more like a promotional featurette than a behind-the-scenes piece. The Blu-ray features six additional featurettes, plus a bonus DVD and UltraViolet digital copy for download and instant streaming. Also On Demand

Videodrone's take on the biggest, best, coolest and culty-ist releases of the week
New Releases:
"Cloud Atlas" (Warner), the sprawling, dazzling, ambitious collaboration between "Matrix" makers Lana and Andy Wachowski and Germany's Tom Tykwer weaves together the six distinctive stories in six different eras with a cast that reappears throughout the timelines. At once literal and evasive, this is a film that wears its heart on its beautifully stitched sleeve and its meaning in its design and yet finds so many facets in which to mirror its ideas throughout its incarnations. It failed to connect with audiences on its initial release, but gets a second chance on home video, where its 170-minute length may not be such an issue. Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand. Videodrone's review is here.
Check out MSN's exclusive "Cloud Atlas" infographic and enter to win a Blu-ray combo pack from MSN and Warner Home Video.
"A Glimpse Inside the Mind Of Charles Swan III" (Lionsgate), the first feature from Roman Coppola since "CQ" more than a decade ago, stars Charlie Sheen as a hedonistic, ego-fueled graphic artist facing an early-life crisis. Blu-ray and DVD, also at Redbox.
"Frankie Go Boom" (Universal), a comedy about sibling rivalry and practical joking gone awry starring Charlie Hunnam and Chris O'Dowd "possesses a surprisingly sweet heart," recommends MSN film critic Kat Murphy. Blu-ray and DVD
Plus: the latest reboot of the landmark horror film titled simply "Texas Chainsaw" (Lionsgate, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD, On Demand and at Redbox) and the historical epic "Back to 1942" (Well Go, Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand) from China.
Most releases are also available as digital download and VOD via iTunes, Amazon, and other web retailers and video services.

TV on Disc:
The central conflict of "Dexter: The Seventh Season" (Paramount), Showtime's blackly-comic series about TV's favorite serial-killer hero, isn't with another killer. This season Dexter's (Michael C. Hall) adoptive sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), who happens to be a police detective, discovers his secret and has to come to terms with the fact that her brother is the killer she's been hunting all these seasons. Family secrets can be so divisive. Blu-ray and DVD. Videodrone's review is here.
"The Bletchley Circle" (PBS) is a self-contained British mystery mini-series set in 1950s London, but it could easily launch a continuing series based on the strength of its characters, a quartet of women who were code breakers during World War II, and its setting. Blu-ray and DVD. Reviewed on Videodrone here.
"Liz and Dick" (eOne, DVD) is the Lifetime original movie starring Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor and Grant Bowler as Richard Burton and "Dance Academy: Season One" (Flatiron, DVD) is the Australian teen drama about first-year students at a ballet school in Sydney that debuted stateside on TeenNick.

Cool and Classic:
Two pair of smart adult westerns from director Delmer Daves get the Criterion treatment: the original "3:10 to Yuma" (Criterion) with Glenn Ford as a cunning outlaw and Van Heflin as the farmer who takes him to prison, and "Jubal" (Criterion), a reworking of "Othello" on a frontier ranch with Ford, Ernest Borgnine, and Rod Steiger. Both on Blu-ray and DVD with minimal supplements. Reviewed on Videodrone here.
"French Masterworks: Russian Émigrés in Paris 1923-1928" (Flicker Alley) presents of the DVD debut of five silent classics from Film Albatros, a French studio founded by Russian artists: "The Burning Crucible," "Kean," "The Late Mathias Pascal," and two director by Jacques Feyder, "Gribiche" and 'The New Gentlemen." Videodrone's review is here.
"The Henry Fonda Film Collection" (Fox) collects ten features from 1939 to 1958, including "Drums Along the Mohawk" (1939), "The Grapes of Wrath" (1941), and "My Darling Clementine" (1946). DVD
More Hal Hartley comes back to disc, including his feature debut "The Unbelievable Truth" (Olive, Blu-ray and DVD) and the double feature "The Book of Life / The Girl from Monday" (Olive, DVD). Reviewed on Videodrone here.
John Stahl's noir-tinged Technicolor melodrama "Leave Her to Heaven" (Twilight Time) debuts on Blu-ray.

New on Netflix Instant:
Horror films take top honors on Netflix new releases, from "House at the End of the Street" (2012) with newly-anointed Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence to the Norwegian Nazi zombie film "Dead Snow" (2009) to Ben Wheatley's "Kill List" (2011), a hitman thriller that swerves into a jangly horror film.
For fans of extreme cinema, here are a couple that will shake up even the hardiest souls: Lars von Trier's "Antichrist" (2009) with Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg and Gaspar Noe's violent "Irreversible" (2002). Much lighter is the action comedy "Hit & Run" (2012) with Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell and the Bollywood musical "Lagaan" (2001).
Plenty of classics have also recently arrived, including the 1941 swashbuckler "The Corsican Brothers" (1941) and a number of film noirs and dramas with darker edges, like "Raw Deal" (1948), "99 River Street" (1953), and "The Gun Runners" (1958).

MAY 21 Here's another post from blogger Tom Aswell about the "course choice" program. He's already reported on kids being signed up without their consent or knowledge, and has more here: For example, he tells of a six-year-old who was signed up for high school Latin. He also digs a little deeper into the sister companies of the main one operating in Louisiana; all of them seem to have complaints against them. Stinky.
MAY 21 Given the 80 percent cut in higher ed funding since he's been in office, it's clear Gov. Jindal would rather give tax cuts to out of state companies than have a functioning system, blogger Dayne Sherman argues in this post. The cuts have been such a disaster, Sherman says, that it will take 30 years to fix what's been broken. He says he believes the aim is to shut down most of the schools before Jindal leaves in 2016.
MAY 21 Blogger CB Forgotston says there are too many elections in Louisiana, and they're costing us too much money. The proof is in the pudding: turnout for most of these nonsensical pollings gets worse and worse, CB opines, even as millions of dollars that could be spent on health care or higher ed go down the tubes. The legislature must take action to stem the tide of pointless elections, he says.
MAY 21 Gambit columnist Clancy DuBos writes about the Mother's Day shooting, and how the stages of shock and blame and healing mirror those traveled by the same city following Hurricane Katrina. The city will recover, just as it did following the storm, by reaching out to help the people injured most seriously by the event, DuBos writes. It's how we heal, he says.
MAY 21 Here's an interesting investigative piece by WVUE on the retirement benefits of some Jefferson Parish public employees. According to the story, the taxpayers are paying 100 percent of the retirement contributions of employees who started work prior to a certain date in April 1986 -- and have done for more than 30 years. It costs the parish millions annually, and might not be legal, the story reports.
MAY 21 This post on Bayou Buzz provides insight from Louisiana's intrepid pollster, Bernie Pinsonat, on the winners and losers from this year's legislative session. But to hear Bernie tell it, there's almost nuttin but losers: Jindal, the Republican party, the Fiscal Hawks all get big goose eggs in his win column.
MAY 20 This post on The Lens takes a look at a huge (either $500K or $250K) bill that one NOLA charter now has for school lunches. The RSD says the charter group didn't fill out the proper paperwork for federal reimbursement, but the story details how the RSD didn't ensure the people running the charter had the proper training, despite requests from hapless charter employees trying to fill out forms. Either way, somebody's asleep at the wheel.
MAY 21 Here's a post on the Advocate (but buried on a subpage, not on the front) that reports something Louisiana Voice reported some time ago: a top DOE official lives in Los Angeles and "commutes" to Baton Rouge. The positioning of the story caused a stir on Facebook Monday, with several posters asking if the Advocate was covering someone's hiney. Sentell's stories on DOE are notoriously soft, and this one is no different: don't expect any hard questions in here.

Best time to take a vacation to San Francisco
San Francisco's climate is mild year-round, so forget about packing wool -- or shorts. Daytime temperatures rarely rise above 75 or drop below 55. Summer is notoriously cool, with fog and chilly Pacific breezes, and neighborhood "micro-climates" can mean balmy conditions in the Mission District, but chillier conditions in the Outer Richmond. Summer is also peak tourist season, and late June's LGBT Pride Celebration Parade is one of the biggest in the country.
May, September and October have less fog and, locals contend, the best weather. December, January and February are the coldest and wettest months, while January brings the Chinese New Year's Parade.
Insider tips for San Francisco travel
Seward Street Slides
These concrete sliding tubes re-teach what you knew when you were six: Gravity is fun. Be sure to bring your own cardboard to slide on, though.
The Alembic
The Haight's perfect drinking/dining combo defines the term "gastropub": world-class artisan cocktails crafted with love, and a food menu to match.
The Presidio
A gift to hikers, bikers and diners. Enjoy this former military post's paths, restaurants and views on your way to or from the Golden Gate Bridge.
Ferry Building Marketplace
What looks like a tourist trap is actually a foodie paradise, with oysters (Hog Island), cheese (Cowgirl Creamery), a fantastic farmer's market and more.
Rainbow Grocery
Get your green bounty on. Rainbow Grocery really is what it's cracked up to be: an eco/organic/fair-trade heaven.
San Francisco highlights
Golden Gate Bridge
Golden Gate Bridge
The world-famous Golden Gate Bridge is a must-see, but doing so is easy, considering the 1.7-mile-long orange behemoth can be viewed from many vantage points. Connecting San Francisco to Marin County, the bridge is the city's only northern exit and is part of U.S. Route 1 and California Route 1. A pedestrian walkway runs the length, and bikes are allowed. (Check posted signs for the appropriate side to ride on; the schedule varies.) Fort Point Overlook offers a primo spot to snap photos.
This golden nugget is the largest Chinatown outside of Asia, plus the oldest in North America. Its entrance, called the "Dragon's Gate," is at Grant Avenue and Bush Street. Inside are 24 blocks of hustle and bustle, most of it taking place along Grant Avenue, the oldest street in San Francisco. This city-within-a-city is best explored on foot: Exotic shops, renowned restaurants, food markets, temples and small museums form its boundaries. Visitors can buy ancient potions from herb shops, enjoy a dim sum lunch or learn how fortune cookies are made.
Palace of Fine Arts Theatre
Constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, this beauty reflects the domed and columned temples of ancient Roman and Greek style. Its exhibition hall, which once housed Impressionist paintings, is now home to a state-of-the-art science museum, the Exploratorium. The Palace is also the site of countless weddings and film backdrops, including the Alfred Hitchcock thriller "Vertigo" and "The Rock." A lagoon lined with Australian eucalyptus trees surrounds the area, making a perfect family-photo opportunity.
Because of its natural isolation and the bay's cold, strong currents, Alcatraz housed Civil War prisoners, and years later, some of the country's most notorious criminals, including mobster Al Capone, the "Birdman of Alcatraz" and George "Machine Gun" Kelly. The prison closed in the 1960s, but the stories live on. Today, Alcatraz is partially a self-guided experience that you can do at your own pace. Advance reservations are highly recommended.
Golden Gate Park
One of the largest urban parks in the world, this three-mile stunner is filled not only with natural beauty but also a science museum, art museum, flower conservatory and more. The California Academy of Sciences houses an aquarium, planetarium, natural history museum, and scientific research facility under one roof -- and a living roof, at that. Scale the deYoung Museum's 144-foot-high observation deck. The Japanese Tea Garden creates the perfect backdrop for munching fortune cookies, which were first created here in 1914.
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Founded in 1935, SFMOMA was the first museum on the West Coast devoted to modern and contemporary art. Today, it continues that tradition, exhibiting and collecting works by modern masters and less-established artists. Audio guides, docent tours, interactive kiosks and public programs offer visitors diverse learning opportunities. SFMOMA's landmark building, just a short walk from downtown, displays a soaring atrium topped by a turret and oculus skylight. The MuseumStore features art books, design objects, furniture, jewelry and children's products.
Castro District
Spanning Castro Street, from Market Street to 19th Street, is the world's first, largest, and most famous gay neighborhood. It has been a symbol of gay pride since the sixties and seventies, when figures like Harvey Milk established themselves as business owners and activists. One of the district's most notable sites is the Castro Theatre, a movie palace constructed in 1922 that is still one of the city's best. Other sites of interest include Twin Peaks, the city's first gay bar, and Hartford Street Zen Center, a small Buddhist temple open to the public.
San Francisco Cable Cars
Cable cars have been transporting people around San Francisco since the late 19th century, and they're a great way to get conquer the city's notorious hills while enjoying some of the spectacular views and diverse neighborhoods. At Powell and Market streets, a turntable serves as the starting point for two lines, the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde. The Powell-Mason heads to Fisherman's Wharf, while the Powell-Hyde ends near Ghirardelli Square (hello, chocolate!).
Union Square
This landmark square is the largest district of retailers, restaurants, galleries and salons in the Western United States. The recently remodeled site boasts granite plazas, light sculptures designed by artist R.M. Fischer and four grand-entrance corner plazas bordered by palms. Find clothing stores, from Banana Republic and Anthropologie to Prada and Yves Saint Laurent, and an assortment of antique stores, art galleries and beauty and health shops. More than 40 hotels are located nearby, as are a variety of restaurants, bars and clubs for late-night dining and entertainment.
More on San Francisco from AOL Travel
San Francisco is one of the most visited destinations in the world. On day one of your visit you'll see why it's easy to lose your heart to this City by the Bay. Sure the place is foggy and can be downright chilly—there are as many microclimates as there are things to do in San Francisco—but you'll forget about the weather once you hop on a trolley car instead of tackling those steep hills on foot. San Francisco boomed during the Gold Rush era and still prides itself as a center for counterculture movements drawing Beats, hippies and the LGBT community from the 1950 to the '70s. Today the city is known more for its dotcom wunderkinds and venture capital companies. Culinary trendsetters abound, too. Alice Waters still runs Chez Panisse in Berkeley, vegetarians and vegans have plenty of options, and visit the Ferry Building market and you too will soon turn your nose up at anything that isn't seasonal, local and artisanal. Being the gateway for Napa wine country has its impact. Museum options range from modern art to science to Alcatraz. For shopping, head to Union Street, Hayes Valley and Upper Fillmore for local designer and boutique stores. Outdoor enthusiasts can cross the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County for excellent hiking, or head to the south peninsula for surfing and kayaking in Half Moon Bay or biking the steep and winding roads through the Santa Cruz Mountains. Just don't miss the majestic redwood forests.

Fall striper bite under way at Texoma: Lower temperatures inducing fast-paced action
BY Luke Clayton, Special to Star Local News
As guide Dave Escamilla with Sparky's Guide Service eased the big 30-foot striper boat out of the harbor at Alberta Creek Marina, the sky was full of seagulls.
Gulls as far as the eye could see, dive-bombing the surface of the lake, picking up hapless shad that were driven to the surface by greedy stripers intent upon eating every baitfish they could catch.
Winter is just around the corner and Mother Nature has somehow clued the stripers to once again feed heavily while the food supply is abundant.
Striper fishing has been good at Texoma throughout the summer, but it's the fall bite that attracts striper anglers from across the country to this great border lake. Idle speed is required around all marinas and the slow-paced leading from the marina to the open water was almost more than we could take. Larry Sparks, owner of Sparky's Guide Service, decided to take a guide's holiday and invited me to enjoy some fast-paced catching with him and let his top guide, nicknamed Little Dave, run the boat and be our guide.
"We will be fishing with 5-inch Glo Shim-Me Shad soft plastic bodies on 1.5-ounce jig heads," said Sparks as we motored toward the first school of feeding stripers. "We dip the tails of these shad bodies in a product called Spike It Garlic Dip-N-Glo. This has proved the most effect bait this time of year and will remain so throughout the winter."
Little Dave began pulling back on the throttle, turning the craft hard starboard as he studied the graph.
"We're on the leading edge of a huge school of stripers," he said. "The water is 45-feet deep and stripers are stacked from the bottom up about 15 feet. Some of them are making it all the way to the surface, but the heaviest concentration of fish remains deep."
There were at least 300 gulls dive-bombing the surface all around the boat and the water was occasionally dimpled with shad attempting to fly and evade the greedy stripers.
"Don't cast, just drop the baits down until you make contact with bottom and crank them up slowly about 20 feet," Escamilla said. "If you don't get a strike, put the reel in free spool and drop them to bottom again."
My bait never made it to bottom.
I felt the line go slack as the lure fell.
Frantically, I cranked the reel handle and raised the rod in hopes of getting the hook set. The line was slack but, with taunt line, I felt another fish hit the bait hard. As I did battle with my first striper of the day, I noted my companions were all locked in mortal combat. This was definitely not complicated fishing. The name of this game was to get the baits close to bottom and keep slack out of the line so the strikes could be felt.
For about 10 minutes, the strikes were continuous.
At a time of catching such as this, it's sheer pandemonium.
I boated several fish and forced myself to set the rod down in time to grab my Nikon and capture Little Dave netting the biggest striper of the day for Sparks.
"Roll them in boys," Escamilla said. "It's time to move; this school has passed under the boat. Just look at that huge flock of gulls off the point over there."
As I glanced in the direction the guide was pointing, it was easy to see where the fish were. It appeared as though every gull from the Texas coast was working an area a couple hundred yards square. Baitfish were popping out of the water and stripers had the surface churning. As Little Dave motored us within casting range, I heaved my big bait out on a long cast, raised the rod tip and began dancing the lure back toward the boat, just a few feet under the surface. The imitation shad lure didn't make it far before it was slammed hard by a striper. Again, every angler on the boat was either hooked fast to a striper or voicing displeasure over missing a good strike.
There was little time to cry over the one that got away though.
It was only seconds until another greedy striper whacked out baits.
Sparks (sparkysguideservice.com or: 580-916-2293) predicts this fast and furious striper bite under flocks of feeding gulls will continue for another month, but the winter fishing is traditionally when the bigger fish of the year are landed.
"When the water temperature drops into the mid- to low-50s and below, we will be fishing with the same baits but presentation will be a lot different," Sparks said. "We'll begin working the baits much slower, along submerged humps and ridges off river channels, targeting larger stripers in the deeper water. When fishing under feeding gulls, sonar is not nearly as important as it will become in the cold weather months.
"We'll be watching our sonar closer, looking for larger fish hanging out around pods of shad."
Just a couple days after this rod-bending fishing trip, I find myself making plans for Round 2 with Texoma's schooling stripers. According to Sparks, I can expect the action to be as good or better than this most recent trip.
As good will suffice.
I cannot imagine better!

This page begins with a discussion of forms required, generally, for any bankruptcy.
For forms specific to the the Vermont District Bankruptcy Court, click here.
Each court has its own local rules, but the basic bankruptcy consists of the forms you see listed in the table below, plus any additional forms your local court may require.
Timeliness note: Always check that the date on the form you're using is the date of the form your court currently requires -- or will require in the future, on the date you're planning to file. Each form has a a month and year in the upper right corner.
Sometimes forms are updated and change several times during a year, and other times there may be no changes for a year or more. We make every effort to keep the links on this page up to date, but it's essential that you confirm with your local court that you are using what they consider to be the current version of all forms.
The Vermont District Bankruptcy Court has additional local forms and requirements, too. See below.
The information below is based on an uncommonly clear and helpful chart from the Federal Bankruptcy Court of the Western District of Wisconsin. These are the basic requirements for any Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
In both chapter 7 and chapter 13, the following are required to start the bankruptcy (minimum filing requirements): | |
The following schedules and statements must be filed with the voluntary petition, or no later than 14 calendar days after filing the voluntary petition: | |
More information on the requirements of the Office of the U.S. Trustee |
341 notice and deadlines - Notice of bankruptcy case filing, meeting of creditors, & deadlines will be sent to the debtor and all creditors listed on the matrix within 7 to 10 business days. The debtor (both spouses in a joint case) must be present at the meeting to be questioned under oath by the trustee and by the creditors. Pro se debtors should also be familiar with Bankruptcy Code § 521, Rule 4002 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.
The following statement must be filed with the voluntary petition, or no later than 30 calendar days after filing the voluntary petition: | |
Due before the discharge is granted: | |
Other Forms: | |
Miscellaneous: | |
Chapter 13 filings require slightly different forms.
Every local bankruptcy court has one or more additional special forms that you must file when you file the standard set of bankruptcy forms. All courts have special local requirements for the "mailing matrix" of the names and addresses of your creditors. Every court publishes very specific rules about how this list must be formatted so that the court can scan it into its computer system. Check your court's website (Vermont District Bankruptcy Court) to find out its mailing matrix requirements, as well as other required forms. Such requirements are typically found in a list of local rules.
If you're lucky, your court may publish a special procedural guide specifically for debtors who are filing without a lawyer. Until recently, most courts, however, did not offer this kind of information on their web sites. That has changed a lot in the past few years and several courts offer very good information.
Local forms for the Vermont District Bankruptcy Court and local rules can be obtained by clicking here
Each district court has its own preferred format for the mailing matrix -- a list of of creditors that you must supply when you file, formatted in a certain way so that the court can scan it.
Matrix requirements can be found in the local rules or sometimes a separate instruction sheet available on the website.
Your court may also have a local requirements regarding any reaffirmation agreement you make with a creditor. Courts review such agreements closely to make sure the creditor is not ripping you off and that one creditor is not benefiting at the expense of others.
Request for Transcript of Tax Return (IRS 4506-T)
The U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Courts website offers a fairly decent, plain-English glossary of bankruptcy terminology, which can be helpful when reading local rules and forms.
Instructions are harder to come by than they used to be. The official U.S. Court website offers no instructions with these forms, other except a link to the congressional committee reports that were written at the time the forms were created. These are not step-by-step instructions, but rather a broad description of the purpose of each form.
The legal publisher Nolo publishes a comprehensive bankruptcy form instruction book (which I co-author). This book takes you through each form, line by line, explains what the terminology means, and provides examples. It also alerts you to situations that may require more help.
There are several software products designed for lawyers that will prepare full sets of bankruptcy forms, but these programs assume you already know bankruptcy law and are designed for filing multiple bankruptcies. In short, they're not appropriate for first-time bankruptcy filers.
There are also a few packages purportedly offered for consumers. Proceed with caution. Some of these packages are little more than PDF versions of the forms, which are are available free from the courts themselves.
If you are not a lawyer, the only value of these products would depend on the quality of the instructions they provide. You'll need instructions on how to complete each form, as well as a good understanding of how each form fits into the larger process of filing for bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Petition Preparers (BPPs) are nonlawyers who offer help in filling in the forms. The latest revision of the bankruptcy laws formally recognized these services as legitimate, but also imposed severe restrictions on what they can charge and scope of the services they can perform.
Lawyers have jealously guarded their turf when it comes to bankruptcy. Lawyers already lost this battle in the area of tax preparation. Today, non-lawyer tax preparers openly advertise the good advice they can give you in addition to completing your forms. BPPs can do no such thing when it comes to bankruptcy forms.
Under the new bankruptcy law, BPPs must give debtors a form that lists all the things BPPs can't do (form 19B), and all the topics they can't discuss -- basically anything that might be characterized as legal advice. Thus, the sort of tips that tax preparers commonly give to people when preparing their taxes, BPPs can't give when bankruptcy forms. (Some believe this raises profound First Amendment and restraint of trade issues.)
How to File For Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (HFB book) will not give you specific advice, either, but it does discuss important facts to consider in making the kinds of decisions listed the following table:
What BPPs can't do (language of Form B 19) | Plain English | Where topic is covered in HFB Book. |
I am forbidden to offer you any legal advice, including advice about any of the following: |
• whether to file a petition under the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.); | Whether you should file for bankruptcy | Ch. 1 (free sample chapter) |
• whether commencing a case under chapter 7, 11, 12, or 13 is appropriate; | What kind of bankruptcy you should file for | Ch. 1 (free sample chapter) |
• whether your debts will be eliminated or discharged in a case under the Bankruptcy Code; | Which debts are non-dischargeable, secured, etc. | Ch's. 9, 5 |
• whether you will be able to retain your home, car,
or other property after commencing a case under the Bankruptcy Code; |
Whether you'll lose your house, car, or other property | Chs. 3, 4, 5 |
• concerning the tax consequences of a case brought under the Bankruptcy Code; | Tax consequences | Not covered |
• concerning the dischargeability of tax claims; | Whether or not your tax debts will be wiped out | Ch. 9 |
• whether you may or should promise to repay debts
to a creditor or enter into a reaffirmation agreement with a creditor to reaffirm a debt; |
Which secured loans are worth hanging onto, versus other options (e.g. surrendering property) | Ch. 5 |
• concerning how to characterize the nature of your interests in property or your debts; or | Whether property is exempt or into which exemption category a particular item fits |
Ch. 3, 4 |
• concerning bankruptcy procedures and rights. |

The following amendments to the Official Bankruptcy Forms will take effect on December 1, 2012.
Official Form 7 (Statement of Financial Affairs) is amended to make the form's definition of an insider consistent with the definition in the Bankruptcy Code.
Official Forms 9A – 9I (meeting of creditor notices)are updated on the first page and in the claims box on the explanation page to remind creditors that the form should not be included with or attached to any proof of claim or other filing in the case. Stylistic changes to the form are also made.
Official Form 10 (Proof of Claim) is amended at Section 7 to remind filers to attach the documents required by Rule 3001(c) for claims based on an open-end or revolving consumer credit agreement or claims secured by a security interest in the debtor's principal residence. Section 8 is revised to delete a direction requiring an authorized agent to attach a power of attorney if one exists. Rule 9010(c) does not require that an agent's authority to file a proof of claim be evidenced by a power of attorney.
Official Form 21 (Statement of Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer-Identification Number) is amended to remind debtors that, in accordance with Rule 1007(f), it should be submitted to the court, but not filed on the public docket. This rule protects an individual debtor's social-security number or taxpayer-identification number from becoming accessible to the public.
