Nine months old
Black Berkshire Dumbo Rat
Minnesota, USA
found Eddrick a couple months back, and the minute he looked into my eyes, i was in love. He's a big sweetheart and peacemaker between his little brothers. He is always the one to share the love and give cuddles. He has a lumpy bumpy tail, just like a teenager.
He loves to eat baby food and celery (always willing to run around the room to get celery) and he will carry it all over his cage until he finds a "Proper" hiding spot for it.
His favorite pastime is to go outside and run around with his little tennis ball, fetching it for me whenever I ask him too, and running around on the monkey bars and in trees. When he's outside he runs like a little jackrabbit, his bum always higher than his face, and making me roll on the ground laughing. (When he comes and sits on my chest and tickles me with his whiskers, inducing
Eddrick is my big teddybear and he will be forever.
Hi! My name is Eddrick Einstein! I'm a rat so most people don't like me. But there is this one person who loves me! Her name is Emma and she's my person. She calls me her little hedgehog, because I'm sort of chubby. That's ok though because there's just more of me to love! I have three brothers, Marvin, Gus Gus, and Chilee Bean, and they are super fun to play with! We like to sit in our shoe boxes and cuddle, and steal treats from each other, like my favorite the yogurt drops, Yummy! I am a big cuddle bug and a good big brother to the Trouble Trio. My favorite memory with my mommy was when she brought me outside to play fetch, and I did so good that she gave me a cheese ball treat afterwards, and then we sat on the couch and watched Ratatouille! (It's my favorite movie!) Every night before we go to sleep, me and my brothers get lots of playtime and kisses from our mommy. We are sweeties (she says) who sometimes get naughty, and we are very happy!

"TransCanada shut down the southern leg of the Keystone XL (now called the Gulf Coast Pipeline Project) on June 2 for 'routine work,' according to Reuters.
'Pipelines aren't normally shut down for maintenance shortly after being started up. They may have planned it but something is wrong,' an industry insider told DeSmogBlog. 'A two day shutdown on a new line raises suspicions.'
The Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration was unable to provide an answer to DeSmogBlog when asked to confirm if the shutdown was due to routine work today."

The Dangers of Marriage Separation
Many couples in the midst of a marriage crisis think that marriage separation is the only way of calming things down and relieving the tension. Understandably, after ongoing conflicts with each other over the same issues and behaviors, it seems natural that one or both spouses pull away from the other. While this time apart may give some temporary relief and peace, there is a definite danger in handling marital problems in this way.
In many situations, the peace they sought can become more important than working through the conflicts to save a marriage. Many couples just wait around for the negative environment of the marriage to change through the separation. While things may be less volatile, nothing has really changed. It's more of a temporary holding pattern. It is not until both spouses take responsibility for their own behaviors and issues that change will really occur.
When the issues and behaviors behind the ongoing conflicts are addressed and dealt with, the peace that results is one based on two people who are changing themselves and the environment of the marriage. This willingness to change gives new hope for the future of the relationship. The tendency to place blame on the other spouse for their marital problems ends when both spouses understand and embrace the idea that as each one makes changes for the better, they also change the environment of the marriage. Instead of reacting to negative situations, each spouse has the opportunity to make better behavior choices. The resulting positive behavior changes further encourage constructive communication and create a positive environment for healing and growth in the marriage.
If you and your spouse are already separated, you can still work through your marriage crisis by taking ownership of your attitudes and behaviors. Many times this change can serve as the inspiration for your spouse to do the same things. A marriage separation doesn't have to mean divorce. If you and your spouse keep the lines of communication open, you can clear the path to healing your relationship and mending the marriage.
If you are unsure how to proceed in your effort to reconcile with your spouse, consult a marriage professional. There are many times that an outside source can shed light on issues that the couple is too emotionally invested in to identify. There are marriage workshops and marriage seminars that deal with resolving conflict and behavior issues. These have the potential to give you the knowledge and tools you need to save your marriage from divorce.

Former stripper Autumn Beshkin is an urban girl eyeing a new profession. To climb this career ladder she's keeping her clothes on and taking an accounting job. Small-town living isn't as exciting as she's used to, but it's only temporary. Then she meets her sexy new boss, Mayor Mike Fields. The attraction between them steams up the office, and suddenly her visit here promises hedonistic pleasure.
Luring the conservative mayor into some not-so-mayoral activities isn't difficult for a woman of Autumn's talents. And the results are sizzling!

Politics in her genes, a wife stands loyal
Page Tools
Three of a kind
Lucy and John Brogden with their son,
Flinders, in April last year.
Photo: Orlando Chiodo
Lucy Brogden was armed with sage advice on media, writes Paola Totaro
"It is great fun, can be the most exciting time of your life but, most of all, it is a privilege. My advice? Enjoy it. Warnings? Just watch out for the press. They are never, never your friend."
When Kathryn Greiner paid a visit to Parliament House a couple of years ago and helped Lucy Brogden welcome and chat to the partners of the newest generation of Liberal candidates, she could not have known the prescient nature of her words of advice: "Don't talk to the media. They are there to get a story. That is a journalist's job. They are not on one side or another. Never forget that."
At the time, the 34-year-old Lucy Brogden had been in the public eye as the Opposition leader's wife for less than a year. But in fact, the Macquarie Bank executive had herself grown up with politics in her veins.
Eight months older than her husband - who turned just 33 the day he rolled Kerry Chikarovski on April 28, 2002 - Mrs Brogden is the daughter of Frank Hooke, a former Liberal Party state treasurer.
In an interview at the time, she said that she had long felt she had politics in the gene.
Both her grandfathers were mayors, one the mayor of Taree where she was born, and the other mayor of North Sydney.
During the 2003 election campaign, Lucy Brogden threw herself onto the hustings like a seasoned professional, and while campaigning in the Illawarra even reminisced that she had spoken at her first political rally at the age of six, telling a knock-knock joke.
"Knock Knock. Who's there? Gough? Gough who? You've forgotten already!" she laughed.
Friends describe her as an intensely private person but she relished the new role, travelling extensively with her husband during the campaign, visiting more than 50 of the state's 93 seats and even taking to the soapbox in one country town.
However, her role as a political wife, she insisted, was not to talk about policy but to provide voters with a fresh and more personal insight into her husband as well as help rally the troops.
Indeed, just a month before the election, Mrs Brogden revealed that she and her husband had decided to adopt a child overseas after the agony of miscarriage and years of trying, and failing to fall pregnant. But a year later, Mrs Brogden was pregnant and a boy, Flinders, was born in December 2003. In fact, the 2003 poll was the first time that Mrs Brogden had taken a break from her own career since she began working in finance and business analysis with Macquarie Bank 12 years ago. Educated at a North Shore private school, Queenwood, Mrs Brogden studied and obtained a graduate diploma in psychology in the years leading up to her husband's election to the Liberal leadership and moved into a human resources strategic position as an associate director at Macquarie Bank.
Mrs Brogden, whom friends describe as fiercely loyal and stoic, issued no public comment last night. If only her husband too had heeded the words of Kathryn Greiner, another older and wiser political wife.

Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, 2013
Victor Navasky presents E. L. Doctorow with the National Book Foundation's 2013 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters
E. L. Doctorow Accepts 2013 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters
Novelist e. L. Doctorow to be honored with Lifetime Achievement Award at
2013 National Book Award Ceremony
The National Book Foundation, presenter of the National Book Awards, will award its 2013 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters (DCAL) to E. L. Doctorow at the 64th National Book Awards Ceremony and Benefit Dinner. The event will be held on Wednesday, November 20, 2013 at Cipriani, 55 Wall Street, in New York.
Doctorow will be honored in recognition of his outstanding achievement in fiction writing. For over five decades, Doctorow's work has been critically celebrated for its vivid depictions of nineteenth- and twentieth-century life, trenchant social criticism, and dazzling prose.
National Book Foundation Executive Director Harold Augenbraum said of the selection, "Doctorow is a master of historical fiction who has brought the events of the past to people all over the world in an extraordinary fashion. It is also a special opportunity to give tribute to a native New Yorker in his hometown."
Doctorow is the 26th recipient of the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, which was created in 1988 to recognize a lifetime of literary achievement. Previous recipients include John Ashbery, Joan Didion, Maxine Hong Kingston, Elmore Leonard, Norman Mailer, Toni Morrison, and Tom Wolfe.
Nominations for the award are made by former National Book Award winners, finalists, and judges, and other writers and literary professionals from around the country. Final selections are made by the National Book Foundation's Board of Directors.
about E. L. Doctorow
Named after Edgar Allen Poe, Edgar Lawrence Doctorow was born on January 6, 1931 and raised in the Bronx, New York. He began his literary career as a reader at Columbia Pictures, and then worked as an editor for New American Library from 1959 to 1964, moving on to serve as editor in chief at Dial Press until 1969. It was at this time that he decided to write full time.
His body of work spans fifty years, has been published in more than 30 languages, and consists of novels, short stories, essays, and a play. Doctorow's debut novel, a Western, Welcome to Hard Times (Simon & Schuster, 1960) was adapted for a film of the same name in 1967. He won the National Book Award for Fiction in 1986 for World's Fair, and was a Fiction Finalist four other times: in 1972 for The Book of Daniel, in 1982 for Loon Lake, in 1989 for Billy Bathgate, and in 2005 for The March.
Doctorow's novel Ragtime (1975) received the first National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction in 1976, was named one of the 100 best English-language novels of the twentieth century by the editorial board of the Modern Library, and was adapted for a motion picture in 1981 and a Broadway musical in 1998. His upcoming novel, Andrew's Brain, will be published in early 2014.
Among Doctorow's other honors are three National Book Critics Circle Awards, the PEN/Saul Bellow Award for Achievement in American Fiction, two PEN/Faulkner Awards, and the presidentially conferred National Humanities Medal in 1998. He holds the Lewis and Loretta Glucksman chair in English and American Letters at New York University.

A Newton man has been sentenced to eight years in prison after being found guilty of killing his girlfriend's baby.
A Jasper County jury sentenced Justin Havard Friday.
Havard, whose trial started on Monday, was found guilty Thursday afternoon.
He was charged with murder in the November 2013 death of 3-month-old Rylan McDaniel.
Havard, who is not the baby's biological father, was babysitting Ryland and his 4-year-old sister while their mother was at work.
According to 12News archives Havard called 911 to report the baby was choking. Paramedics took Rylan to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, where doctors say he died from blunt force trauma.
Havard is also under indictment in Kirbyville on an unrelated sexual assault of a child from 2013.
It's been a heart wrenching week for both families in the case. Rylan McDaniel's great aunt, Debra Rivette says her family has found peace.
"We've been waiting on this trial for 3 years, and for it to finally come and surpass, and finally get that verdict. We don't know the sentencing but at least we can breathe," Rivette said.
Havard could not hold back tears as he left the courtroom. Defense attorney Ryan Gertz understands the jury's decision is final.
"Anytime you have the death of a child it's very emotional and difficult to come to the conclusion. So we appreciate and respect the jury's decision," Gertz said.
Rivette is glad the whole family can move on after taking an emotional toll this week.
"It's not just the mom or the grandma it's the whole family the oldest to youngest. It affects all of us so we're relieved and our prayers are answered," Rivette said.
She feels there is redemption for Rylan.
Havard faces between 5 to 99 years or life in jail. Sentencing will begin at 9 a.m. tomorrow.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) -- Vietnam devalued its currency by 1 percent Friday in an effort to boost its foreign exchange reserves and exports.
A statement on the State Bank of Vietnam's website said the U.S. dollar will now buy 21,036 dong, which is a devaluation of 1 percent from the previous official rate of 20,828 dong per dollar.
It is the first devaluation of the dong since November 2011.
The statement said the devaluation is part of a government plan to "improve the balance of payments and foreign exchange reserves."
Some analysts say Vietnam's currency is overvalued but the country's financial system is not yet developed enough for it to trade freely without damaging the economy.
Commercial banks in Vietnam are allowed to trade the currency in a 1 percent band around the central bank-set rate.
Vietnam's economic fortunes have waxed and waned in the past decade. Once seen as one of the most promising emerging economies in Asia, it has more recently suffered from bouts of high inflation and slowing growth as the Communist Party government struggles to reduce the dominance of inefficient state companies.
Former government economic adviser Pham Chi Lan said the devaluation will help to boost the country's exports and bring the dong closer to its real market value.
"Vietnamese exporters, particularly farm exporters will enjoy more benefits" as a result of the dong devaluation, she said.
Some experts had suggested a bigger devaluation was needed, but Lan said the 1 percent drop was appropriate in the current circumstances as it will not create chaos in the market.

The Royal Bank of Scotland has taken the remarkable step of writing to Liverpool supporters to explain its continued financial support for the club's unpopular owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
The bailed-out bank has faced criticism from Liverpool supporters angered at plans to extend the Americans' £350m credit facility with RBS and Wachovia ahead of the 24 July deadline. Fans' protests coincided with revelations that Hicks and Gillett's parent company, Kop Football (Holdings) Limited, suffered a £42.6m loss for the year ending July 2008.
However, in a response that effectively confirms the bank is content to refinance again next month, RBS insists the club is "financially healthy", able to meet its debt obligations "comfortably" and revealed it hopes to continue its relationship with Liverpool "for many years to come".
It also stressed the government does not make commercial decisions for the bank since last year's rescue package. This follows attempts by a local MP, Peter Kilfoyle, to persuade the government to block the refinancing deal due to the absence of the proposed new stadium on Stanley Park and the repercussions for the regeneration of the area.
"The Club does not suffer the burden of debt implied by a lot of the recent press reports and, in our view and that of the executive management of the club, it is financially healthy and able to service comfortably its debt obligations from cash flow generated by its playing and commercial activities," RBS explained. "It is in our commercial interest to support the Cclub in the manner described above so that it can continue to perform successfully on and off the pitch."
The debt on the club, according to RBS, is lower than the debt on the parent company to ensure that Hicks and Gillett are legally responsible for the majority of the loans on Liverpool. Representatives of the Spirit of Shankly supporters group representatives, however, claim a similar situation did not prevent Southampton from FC falling into financial peril. Gillett and Hicks will be asked to increase their personal guarantees in the next refinancing deal with the former agreeing a £333m deal for his stake in the Montreal Canadiens last weekend.
James McKenna, a spokesman for Spirit of Shankly, said: "We have been explaining our stance to the RBS about why they shouldn't refinance with Gillett and Hicks and we are very surprised with their response. We were expecting them to talk behind closed doors but the response gives fans a greater insight into how the debt is structured.
"Maybe if Gillett and Hicks had been more open the situation might be different but it appears the only reason the RBS are happy is because of the interest repayments they are getting from Liverpool Football Club. The letter also claims the RBS attaches great value in being associated with Liverpool but there are not many in Liverpool who want to be associated with Hicks and Gillett."
Glen Johnson, meanwhile, completed a £17m move from Portsmouth to Liverpool today when the former Chelsea right-back signed a four-year contract worth £80,000 a week – a deal that is likely to precipitate the departure of Alvaro Arbeloa once Spain's interest in the Confederations Cup ends on Sunday. Johnson had a medical last week and agreed personal terms. "We had to be quick. It was down to the player whether he chose us or City or Chelsea and he chose us. It was very clear from talking to him that he wanted to play for Liverpool," said the manager, Rafael Benítez. The left-back Fabio Aurelio will miss the start of Liverpool's season. The Brazilian has a knee injury which could keep him out for two months.

Touring on a motorcycle has never been more popular than it is today, but with more and more people hitting the open road, a growing number are doing so without the proper skills and information they need to survive the ordeal. Far too often the trip of a lifetime turns into an unmitigated disaster, leading to expensive breakdowns, arrests, lost wages, broken limbs, death, and even, on more than one occasion, divorce. Most people who travel aboard motorcycles have learned these lessons the hard way, if they've survived long enough, but now readers of the Motorcycle Touring Bible can learn an easier way; they can learn from author Fred Rau's mistakes rather than through the school of hard knocks.

What is a copy edit?
When you're ready to choose a freelance editor, knowing the level of edit you're after is important. We talked about the macro edit last week, and today, we're skipping over line edit and heading right for copy edit.
Why? you ask.
Well, there's a difference between a copy edit and a line edit, but not all freelance editors offer both. The line edit is a step above a copy edit, and you may not need or want one of these. (Though they're my favorite type of edit.)
Today, since a copy edit is the next necessary step in the editing process, let's go there. I'll address the line edit next time.
(Line edit)
Copy edit
The copy edit zooms in on the details.
It's more detail-oriented than the macro. The second door.
You've got your solid hook and satisfying resolution. Your story world and characters are believable and worth cheering for. It's time to sand out those rough edges. The editor will be targeting several things.
Obvious typos and misspellings
Your character mentions pouring over classified documents, rather than poring over them. She's unsure weather or not she's found a solid peace of evidence.
This isn't the final proofread, but a good editor can't (and shouldn't) pass these mistakes and not mark them at this stage. (NOTE: They do get overlooked in the macro phase, because you might be revising them anyway).
Weasel words
Just. That. So. Very. Look.
Wherever you can, seek and destroy.
Sentence and paragraph structure
Do you follow the same basic patterns? If all of your sentences start with the character's name or a personal pronoun, your editor will suggest spicing it up.
In your dialogue, does each speaker begin a new paragraph? Do you bury dialogue at the end of a long section of prose?
Dialogue—a little more in depth
Does your dialogue sound natural? Do the characters use contractions? Era-appropriate lingo?
Speakers leave off words every now and again?
How about your tough military guys? Do they sound like poetic ladies, or vice-versa?
Does everyone sound like you?
Is there a balance among action beats, tags, and letting the words speak for themselves?
Pet words and phrases
Every writer has these.
Don't be offended when an editor or friend brings one or two to your attention. Brainstorm. Get in the head of your character. Find a better—more character-voice-worthy—way to say the same thing.
Same dealio.
Maybe you've given the same bit of information twice. Perhaps you've used the same phrasing more than once. It's possible that a word has been used seven times on one page ("look," for example). Cut them. You want to strike the balance between sounding like you used a thesaurus until the binding was broken and you only have a seven-hundred word vocabulary.
You laugh, but sometimes—in order to get the story on the page—it happens. And then, in self-editing mode, you might miss some things. An extra set of eyes is a valuable investment.
Basic industry standard formatting
Times New Roman, 12 pt. One-inch margins, double-spaced paragraphs. The formatter will handle the rest, but the copy should look nice and clean.
While a professional editor will address all of these things during the copy edit, some will mark the bare bones. Others will give you a little lesson or explanation in the margin the first time and then simply point out the rest and trust you to remember the reason. Some will compliment you on the phrasing and story elements they love.
Every editor has their own style.
But remember this: You have your own style, too. It's important that your editor—while pointing out the essential fixes—doesn't try to change your voice. They should only strive to make your writing the best it can be.
It's still yours.
But it is worth investing in, since your name will be on the cover.
What are some of your weasel words and pet words?

Mohair Shirt 11/2012 #136A
Hello – I'm going to make this garment but using a quite heavy knit fabric which looks as though it will unravel easily. I'm thinking of finishing all the seams (as well as neck and arm openings) with bias tape – not sure what sort yet – do you think this approach is right?
Second question: I am not sure what to do with the hem. The pattern instructions say to leave the recommended mohair fabric unfinished with a zigzag just in from the edge but I don't think that will work for my heavier fabric – it will simply look unfinished. Should I hem it, or use more bias tape?
Final question! I've never used a knit fabric before – any helpful hints before I start?
Edited: I don't think after all it will unravel any more problematically than any average material but I still think I'll bind all seams and maybe do a rolled hem (never done before…) for the hem. Advice still welcome if anyone has any.
Many thanks, and Happy New Year!

I think you'll have trouble with the bias binding. It may stretch the seam out of shape. Overlocking is best or zig zag second.
A rolled hem for the bottom is ok but it may stretch the fabric out of shape too. Sometimes the stretching can look really effective, and people pull the fabric on purpose as it goes through the machine to make the fabric wave (Try it on a test fabric before starting to see how much to stretch the fabric or how NOT to stretch the fabric). However I always use a double stitch machine. You can create a similar effect by zigzagging the hem, folding it over 2.5cm, then doing 2 rows of stitching.
Make sure you stretch the fabric as you sew the straight seam, otherwise when you stretch the fabric the thread will snap.
A new ball point needle will also stop holes in the garment. If you can't get a ball point needle, use a fine (size 10) new needle.
Good luck ;)

Hi – many thanks for the reply. I've just come back to have a look after a while not checking the forum. I did some googling and in the end I just used the bias binding for the shoulder seams and the neck. I hand finished the bottom after folding over twice to make a narrow hem, but I think I might redo it as you've suggested, as the garment is a very nice shape now but I can imagine it stretching out of shape as I do tend to tug my knit tops straight quite a lot. The side seams I finished with zigzagging as you suggested, but I sewed them with just a straight stitch, so I will try to remind myself to go easy on my tugging! I learned one lesson for next time – the way I have made up the garment, my knit fabric is very stretchy from top to bottom but much less so from side to side so I had to let the seams out – I didn't think to check the stretch before cutting out. In fact, overall the top is much more fitted than the picture of the mohair example, but I do really like it and think that what I've ended up with looks very smart. I'm quite proud of the fact that it fits me very well (luck rather than anything else), the side seams are straight, and there is no twisting anywhere!

Well done! Well if the bias binding is ok, I wouldn't worry about redoing it.

Angolan leader meets with Pope
May 05, 2014
Pope Francis received President José Eduardo dos Santos of Angola in audience on May 2.
The leader, dogged by allegations of corruption, has ruled the southwest African nation since 1979 and hosted Pope Benedict XVI during his 2009 apostolic journey to Africa.
Noting that the Holy See and Angola enjoy "good relations," the Vatican press office stated the Pope and dos Santos discussed "the planned bilateral agreement regarding the legal state of the Catholic Church in the country."
The two also discussed "the important contribution offered by the Catholic Church to the country through its educational and healthcare institutions" and the challenges facing Angola and southern Africa, "such as the fight against poverty and social inequality, the full development of the person, reconciliation, justice and peace."
Following their discussion, dos Santos met with Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, the Vatican's Secretary for Relations with States.

Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
In response to the recent northwest fire station opening news article, I say "Well said Chief Waters." The Chief's comments reflect the importance and need of the brand new fire station—there is nothing wrong and everything is right with finally having a fire station in the northwest sector of the community. I support Chief Waters and our firefighters for doing a great job given the limited resources and political constrictions they must endure.
However, no one (especially the City Manager, the Mayor, or the City Council) highlighted to the gathering that the new station only took 20 years to build from when the need for the fire station was identified and after hundreds of homes were built outside the city's (long time) adopted 5-minute response limit. No one highlighted that City Hall and the City Council were not able to fund the fire station for decades while the developers continued to profit from building homes. No one highlighted that those other departments and their personnel layoffs and the overall reduction in community public service levels helped fund the new fire station. No one highlighted that the level of public safety was reduced with each new home built outside the 5-minute response limit. (And, no one highlighted that we have the same situation on the south side of Manteca.)
And, finally, no one highlighted that other cities require such improvements to be in place at the developer's expense and manned as development occurs, simply for the privilege of building homes in their community. We are once again accepting a community amenity that is a day late and a dollar short. It is unfortunate that in Manteca the residents and service levels do not apparently have the same ranking as in other communities.

How long on a drug keep ivf below 50?
May 3, 2008
As in heading.
My wife has been prescribed trizivar for two weeks to get down from 7000 viral load to below 50. How long will this be effective and w?at then to keep her down to that level?
Response from Dr. Holodniy
It can be effective for years, provided she takes the medication every day as prescribed. This is not a type of medication you take just to get the viral load to < 50 and then stop. You have to continue taking it to maintain the undetectable viral load.

The House has approved so-called "Caylee's Law" bill inspired by the Casey Anthony case in Florida.
Republican Rep. Michelle Ugenti (you-gen-tee) of Scottsdale sponsored the bill, which would make it a felony punishable by a presumptive sentence of 1 1/2 years if a parent to fails to report that a child under age six has been missing for 24 hours.
More than a dozen other states have considered similar legislation after Casey Anthony didn't report 2-year-old Caylee Anthony missing for about a month. The mother was acquitted of murder in the daughter's death.
Ugenti says police need to begin searching quickly and that parents must be held responsible for their children.
The bill now advances to the Senate.

Hot Fuzz is a cross between Die Hard and The Full Monty. No, that's not quite right. Maybe it's more like Point Break meets Four Weddings and a Funeral. No, this one has four funerals and no weddings. I know — Hot Fuzz is what The Queen would have been had Wes Craven directed it.
Or maybe Hot Fuzz is unique enough, fun enough, and gory enough to avoid comparison.
Coneheads: Frost and Pegg
(Photo by Matt Nettheim)
Director Edgar Wright and star Simon Pegg reunite after their successful 2004 B movie-mockery Shaun of the Dead to create Hot Fuzz, which pays homage to male-bonding action movies. Like Craven's Scream, which embraced every stereotype of a slasher flick, Pegg and Wright are fully aware of the finer points of the genre. Hot Fuzz takes the best (or is it the worst?) aspects of action movies and turns them on their head.
Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is an overachieving, tight ass of a police officer in London who alienates his colleagues by being too good. Rather than live up to his standards, Angel's superiors promote him and promptly ship him off to Sandford, a Stepford-esque place voted best village in England.
For most, this transfer would be a dream come true: a low crime rate in an idyllic setting where the worst punishment doled out at work is having to provide chocolate cake for the rest of the office. But for an anal-retentive control freak like Angel, it's a nightmare that's only compounded by his often-drunk misfit of a portly partner, Danny (Nick Frost). However, since Danny is the son of the police chief, there is little for Angel to do but deal with it.
Pegg and Frost, who starred together in Shaun, revive their chemistry as partners in solving crime and kicking arse. And chemistry it is — but more about that later. Pegg's finely-tuned comedic timing allows him to perfect the finer points of a man who could easily turn a lump of coal into a diamond. Frost, on the other hand, is more gregarious in his role as a cuddly teddy bear of an overgrown adolescent. An overgrown adolescent who gets to carry a gun. Not a wise idea, really.
For the first hour, the most frightening thing about Hot Fuzz is how slowly and methodically director Wright sets the stage. But once the gore kicks in, the real fun starts. Initially, the film relies on dry British wit to entertain, so the first grisly murder is indeed a shock. A black-hooded, ax-wielding madman is on the loose in Sandford and Angel alone believes there is more to the deaths than meets the eye. He has only his lug of a partner to help him sort through the clues which all point, like a flashing neon sign, to the shop owner, Simon Skinner (Timothy Dalton). Dalton might as well twist the ends of his mustache and laugh manically every time he's on screen, but fortunately he plays it a little cooler than that. Barely. But that's okay because it's always obvious who the bad guy is in these movies.
Hot Fuzz
As predictable as Hot Fuzz is in so many ways, it completely defies expectations in so many others.
The most important thing is that it's a smart film. Once the deadly events start to unravel, it's quickly obvious that each and every step of the set-up was needed. It would be easy to dismiss the film as wallowing in its "impersonation" of a male-bonding action flick, but that would be to miss the point entirely. You can enjoy it for the action alone, but you would be doing yourself a great disservice.
In one of the few understated points in an otherwise over-the-top film, Pegg and Frost actually come off as a really cute couple falling in love. That's not to imply there are any overt gay scenes, but the platonic affection that Angel and Danny grow to have for one another is not hidden behind back-slapping and arm-punching. Instead, it's sweetly embraced. And then there's an awesome fight scene.
Hot Fuzz is very much like a roller coaster ride — it starts with a long slow climb to the top and then slams you back in your seat. The film may start off lukewarm, but in the end it is hot indeed.

Republicans are ready to ram through the House an election-year, $3.5 trillion budget that showcases their deficit-cutting plan for revamping Medicare and slicing everything from food stamps to transportation while rejecting President Barack Obama's call to raise taxes on the rich.
The blueprint by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., was headed for all but certain House passage Thursday, mostly along party lines. It faces a demise that is just as sure in the Democratic-run Senate, which plans to ignore it, but the battle remains significant because of the clarity with which it contrasts the two parties' budgetary visions for voters.
Republicans were focused on sharper deficit reduction and starkly less government than Democrats wanted and were proposing to lower income tax rates while erasing many unspecified tax breaks. Obama and Democrats were ready to boost taxes on families making above $250,000 and on oil and gas companies, add spending for roads and schools and cull more modest savings from domestic programs.
"They're choosing the next election over the next generation," Ryan said, deriding Democrats' plans as far too timid. He added, "If we don't tackle these fiscal problems soon, they're going to tackle us as a country."
Democrats said they, too, were eager to stanch deficits that now exceed $1 trillion annually. But they said it needed to be done in a more balanced way, with rich and poor alike sharing the load.
"It's a path to greater prosperity — if you're already wealthy," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, top Democrat on the Budget panel, mocking the "Path to Prosperity" title Ryan has given his document. "Because our Republican colleagues refuse to ask millionaires to contribute one cent to deficit reduction, they hit everyone and everything else."
In a pair of preliminary votes expected Thursday, conservatives were offering their own proposal with deeper spending cuts and far faster deficit-reduction than the GOP plan, claiming to balance the budget in just five years. Democrats were pushing a measure featuring pumped-up spending for education and new tax credits for companies creating jobs and raising wages, while claiming savings from winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, government waste and reductions in farm payments.
Both were destined to be defeated.
Underscoring the prickly partisan gulf over how to tackle the budget's drastic imbalances, the House late Wednesday on a 382-38 vote easily shot down a compromise, bipartisan deficit-cutting plan by moderates of both parties that mingled tax increases with spending cuts.
The measure was modeled roughly on a package produced by Obama's deficit-reduction commission. The commission's plan drew praise from prominent deficit foes but was treated coolly by Obama and congressional leaders of both parties.
The House also voted 414-0 Wednesday to reject Obama's budget, with Democrats accusing the GOP of forcing the vote to embarrass them. Democrats were concerned Republicans would use campaign ads to link Democrats who supported Obama's plan to all of its details, including tax increases and boosts for unpopular programs.
Congress' budget is a nonbinding road map that suggests tax and spending changes that lawmakers should make in separate, later legislation.
Particularly with voters deciding control of the White House and the Capitol in November, the two parties are sure to stalemate each other's budgetary priorities until after the election.
The House GOP budget would cut spending by $5.3 trillion more over the next decade than Obama's would — out of more than $40 trillion that would still be spent during that period. It envisions repeal of the president's health care overhaul and sets a course for deep reductions for highway and rail projects, research and aid to college students and farmers while easing planned defense cuts.

Hey guys! With people posting lock BiS list i decided to post a list of gear that an average joe can get...(i mean lets face it not everyone will get to BiS)
So this LFR LOCK gear set is what you can obtain via running LFR with combination of some Valor Point Vendor gear that i think will be most optimal.
so if LFR is your only hope to ever raid and get gear this is what you can expect to acquire
Two things i wanna mention
1) Gemming/Reforging was done to put u at 16.64% hit so you are less than .5% under hit cap /cheer
2) Enchants are profession-neutral (i.e. if you are scribe/tailor/bs/jc/etc then you of course would sub your profession enchants over those)
Decided to post an image of what you going to look like
---------- Post added 2011-11-28 at 02:30 PM ----------
if anyone have other suggestion for substitution of gear i selected i would love to hear it

The Getaway
It was a bad movie in 1972 and the remake hasn't improved the situation. Doc and Carol are husband and wife crooks (played by marrieds Basinger and Baldwin). Doc gets double-crossed and winds up in a Mexican jail; Carol gets a well-connected crook (Woods) to spring her hubby--by sleeping with him and promising Doc will pull off another heist. The robbery's botched, there are double-crosses galore, and the couple go on the run. The stars are pretty but everything's predictable. An unrated version is also available.

Buffalo '661998
Stars: Vincent Gallo, Christina Ricci, Ben Gazzara
Genre: Comedy, Crime, Drama
Rating: R (Restricted)
Runtime: 110 minutes
Writer-director-composer Vincent Gallo and Christina Ricci star in this quirky and deliberately grimy little movie. Gallo plays Billy Brown, recently released from prison and unable to find so much as a decent bathroom in his cold hometown. Billy's parents are unaware that he's been locked up; in a pathetic attempt to impress them with how successful he's become, he hits on the novel plan of kidnapping young dance student Layla (Ricci) and forcing her to play the role of his wife. Billy's distant--to say the least--parents are played to the hilt by Anjelica Huston and Ben Gazzara, Huston in particular bringing a demented glee to her role as Billy's football-obsessed mother. As the movie unfolds, we learn more about Billy's tormented childhood and unfortunate tendency to bet on the Bills in the Super Bowl. Gallo boldly throws himself into the task of playing a complete sleazebag, and Ricci does lovely standout work as the one ray of hope in the grinding darkness of Billy's life. This odd little love story is just the thing to make you feel better about your own relationship--especially if you're not in one. --Ali Davis

Billy Brown:
And what was that shit about the CIA? I asked you nice, I said nice: MAKE ME LOOK GOOD! Wha-CIA? You think my father believed that? Do you think he believed that for one second... 'You're son works for the CIA, all the girls love him'... he's nn-smart! He's smart!

Sampling checks in GE 2015
The Elections Department released early indications of polling results for the first time during the 2015 General Elections by publicly announcing the result of sampling checks within 2 hours of the close of polls. Sampling checks have been carried out since 2001 or earlier, but the results were not made known to all candidates or […]

DOS does not publish breakdowns of citizen population by age group. The published population pyramids are for "residents" which includes permanent residents. However, the government did publish the actual number of Singapore citizens aged 20-64 in 2011 in the population white paper together with forecasts up to 2060. Chart 6 shows their forecast for the number […]

This revision comes six months after the last revision in February, which is an unusually short interval as previous revisions were spaced a year or more apart. Polling districts (PDs), also known […]

In brief, The delimitation process in Singapore is opaque and not subject to public scrutiny. Some boundaries appear to be arbitrary or designed to favour one party. This results in weaker community ties and cynicism towards the political process. Maruah urges the government to raise the level of impartiality, equality, representativeness, non-discrimination and transparency of […]

Guide for Counting Agents (ELD)
Guide for Counting Agents (ELD)
Looks like the Elections Department has released its' Guide for Counting Agents in the Hougang by-election, and the sampling check for "the purpose of checking against the result of count for that counting place" remains in place. Seems fairly pointless to check "against the result of count" given that there's no way for them to change the ballot papers even if the final result doesn't agree with the sampling check. The real question is whether the AROs will disclose the results of the validity check to Counting Agents at the time it is carried out, and who receives the "sampling check" information after it is compiled by ELD HQ, but before the announcement of the vote counts at the counting centres.

Hopefully ELD will explain the purpose of the sampling check before the next election. I don't think it is tenable for ELD to conduct a sampling check during the counting without being more open and transparent as to the use of the data generated by the sampling check.

NATIONAL BRIEFING | SCIENCE AND HEALTH; Insulin Syringes Are Recalled
By BLOOMBERG NEWS
Published: November 6, 2008
Covidien Ltd. is recalling 471,000 disposable insulin syringes because of mislabeling that could cause patients to receive an overdose, federal regulators said. The company's ReliOn hypodermic syringes could cause patients to receive as much as 2.5 times the intended dose, according to an e-mailed statement by the Food and Drug Administration. The syringes were sold at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores, according to the statement.

I've been at Shamwari exactly 4 weeks now and have had the most incredible, awe inspiring experience. On an average day as a volunteer you get to do various things like chop trees, remove old fences or build new fences in the morning and then in the afternoon you get to see cheetah, lions, elephant or rhino, at times ALL of them! Not too bad for an average day you would think, and you'd be right. An average day here is awesome. However, today has surpassed all my expectations just because of the importance and magnificence of what we were doing. It will be a highlight of my time here for many years to come and I will be boring many a friend with intimate details for eons!
I have watched many a documentary of game capture and animal monitoring methods back at home in the UK and often wondered if I'd ever get the chance to participate in such a process. You can imagine my excitement when we were told that we would be helping the veterinary team here dart black and white rhinos in the north of the reserve to enable us to track them better in the future. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I happen to be here to get involved - timing is everything!
With an early set off around 5am, which ordinarily on a Monday morning would bring a groan of resentment if you were going to 'work', all 21 of the volunteers were ready and waiting with eager anticipation. You could feel the overriding excitement at what lay ahead.
The SCE team of Konrad, Cindy and Jens drove us in 3 vehicles up to the north to meet up with the chopper, the vet team and other helpers. On arrival we had a briefing on what we were doing today, why we were doing it and what help we could give. The main purpose was to extract DNA from each rhino horn, collar each animal with a GPS tracking system and implant a micro chip - no mean feat when you are talking about black rhino! This was probably a dawning moment for me as it sunk in exactly how we were going to contribute to the onward battle to save the rhino. As a volunteer your main ambition is to make a positive contribution to the environment you're in and today everyone had that chance in a unique and special way.
Everything has to happen super fast once the animal is anaesthetised as there is always risk in these situations and to keep the animal sedated for too long increases that risk. With excellent instruction from the experienced team here, individual volunteers were given the chance to either measure the horn (length and circumference), drill the hole to extract the DNA from the horn or implant a microchip. As we were planning on darting as many rhinos as possible in one day there was plenty of time for everyone to do their bit. Just being up close and able to touch this formidable animal was out of this world. To touch their armour like skin, feel its toughness and rigidity and at the same time being close enough to feel their breath on your body, it was majestic and unique, indescribably brilliant.
Once the first animal was done, the antidote was administered once everyone was safely away and the rhino regained consciousness, a little groggy but overall unharmed and now safer than ever. With no time to take a breath the chopper had already located another black rhino and were in the process of darting, so off we go, at pace to the next location. Never have I been driven so quickly around this reserve, in fact I'm pretty sure our driver had taken lessons from Colin McRae - thank goodness for seatbelts! It's the only time that speed limits are broken, needs must! Again, the rhino had gone down in a heavily vegetated area and we needed to move her to make it a comfortable operation for her and us. Rolling these animals from their sides is not an easy task but with a volume of hands we made light work of it.
All the necessary actions were complete and again the rhino was woken up once we were all clear and no harm had been done. This is always a relief for the team here as there are so many things that can go wrong. They don't want to put any animal at risk when taking on this kind of operation but by nature of the task at hand no one can really be sure that everything will go like clockwork. It is always seen as a blessing when it does. I got my chance to drill the hole in the horn on our 4th capture of the day, which was the first white rhino we had darted. It was quite tricky as he kept moving his head so his horn kept moving but with some guidance and assistance from the experts the job was done. Holding the horn and literally being close enough to be hit by rhino snot was awesome, how lucky am I! Not everyone can say they have rhino snot on their clothes you know - serious claim to fame.....
I have witnessed the care and concern all around me for each and every animal on this reserve. I trust the team here to do the right thing and will do all I can to help them fulfil their role as rhino protectors now and in the future.
This life is so far from normality to me. I am used to commuter trains, grumpy Londoners and stressful sales targets. Although a black rhino may sometimes resemble a grumpy Londoner, that's the only similarity I have found here. I consider myself privileged and honoured to have played a part in such an important day and will take the emotion I felt, and still feel, to my grave. I am left wanting to do more, to work harder and ultimately to make a difference and I hope that today I have made that positive contribution we all strive for every day.
Thank you Shamwari Conservation Experience for the unforgettable experience and for the chance to play a role in the rhinos future here in South Africa. I know all volunteers here count themselves very lucky to have been a part of today, I hope it has touched them the way it has touched me.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
My partner has pleaded not guilty to assault by beating. I had made statement to the police but retracted it. However the CPS have gone ahead with the case and I have been required to attend a magistrates court. I really don't want to do this but do not understand the consequences for me if I fail to attend.
I have not called the police out before.
I have since - but no statement was made.
Can you tell me the possible consequences of my not attending court as per the original question.
I am sorry but I don't understand why - apologies
However, I advised that my partner took hold of my arms had pushed me against a wall.
Nothing really just a bruised arm
No - there was no allegation the second time - it was verbal abuse.

Ghana FA chief Nyantakyi ready to appear before World Cup commission
Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi says he is prepared to appear before the 2014 World Cup commission despite the reservation by FIFA about the terms of reference of the body.
Justice Senyo Dzamefe's Presidential Commission started its sitting in Accra on Monday under the cloud of suspicion that the GFA is not interested in appearing before them.
That is because FIFA warned that the world governing body could ban Ghana if issues of direct management of the Black Stars are perused at the commission as it violates the independence laws of the world governing body.
Much of the commission's hearing hinges on the appearance of the GFA and despite the worries about FIFA's concerns, Ghana FA chief Nyantakyi says he is ready to appear.
"I've not been invited and if am invited I will attend," Nyantakyi said.
This comes as a welcome news for the commission which has so far not indicated its intention of inviting the Ghana FA following the FIFA letter warning them about the remit of the probe.

selfmade says:August 17, 2014 01:26 amIf we want out football to develop to the level that we envisage, WE SHOILD CREATE A SEPERATE FOOTBALL MINISTRY just like Brazilians has done! A separate football ministry ll function well as a lone entity than emerging this big business with other sports in the country!! Football is a global business brand that's needs a lot of capital investment to grow and the meagre governmental budget cannot sustain it!! Football should be separated from the other sports in the country and it can stand on its own by commercial sponsorship both domestic and internationally! A separate football ministry ll reduced corruption and its managers and officials could be prosecuted unlike the current system!! Furthermore, in Ghana, it seems we don't have a so called MINISTRY OF YOUTH AND SPORT but rather ministry for football as all the resources and budget have been allocated to football alone, relegating the other sports to the back burner!! With autonomous football ministry funding for its own activities, the other so called lesser known sports ll get the needed government support to grow up!! At this age, Ghana should have its own separate football ministry because BS has become a powerful global brand and probably the most FAMOUS AFRICAN NATIONAL TEAM FROM AFRICA!! There is not international corporate entity that wldnt love to be associated with the bs and our leaders needs to have a small FORESIGHT, VISION AND IMAGINATION!! A separate football ministry ll have enough resources to train local coaches, have personels responded only for club mgt, ref mgt, academies etc!! We should live beyond our time!
selfmade says:August 17, 2014 01:36 amLet's have a SEPARATE FOOTBALL MINISTRY NOW! Let's stop the colonial old school mentalities and broaden our horizons! Whats the meaning of ministry of youth and sports? What's the correlation here? These two entities are too big and broad and needed to be separate!! There are so many useless white elephant ministries in Ghana that needs to be scrap!! There should be a separate football ministry now because football is now the hottest global commodity and we have the finest talent to export to other countries to boost our economy! The football ministry, I bet anyone can FINANCE AND STAND ON ITS OWN without any governmental budget or support!! BS is the most famous national African team in the WC and we should take adv of that! Brazil has an autonomous football ministry and is about that time, we emulate them!!
May his peace prevails says:August 17, 2014 04:18 amSelfmade Do you live in Ghana ?

Editor's note: The Clarion this week has been taking a look back at some of the people and issues in the news in 2010.
Borough addresses ethics: Mayor, assembly push for better training, update codeIf there's one thing most borough leaders agreed on in the past year, it is that ethics are a difficult thing to legislate.
"You cannot pass a law saying people will be ethical," Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Dave Carey said. "Ethics is still an attitude of the heart We have to be realistic with that intent."
Although ethics might be a thing of the heart it also requires some procedural monitors.
This topic came up more than once this year after the mayor's former chief of staff, Hugh Chumley, resigned in January amid a paperwork snafu.
He failed to file the borough's requisite "Intent to do Business" form for truck maintenance equipment he had sold to the borough on a sole source contract for $18,000.
Both Chumley and Carey apologized for what they deemed an oversight, and Chumley returned the money. He also returned an additional $1,800 for a separate sales transaction, also undertaken without the required intent form.
The borough assembly held a series of discussions on how and whether to deal with Chumley's violation, even considering an ordinance to erase the entire transaction. That move eventually failed in a 5-4 vote.
The borough assembly also took on an overhaul of the borough's code of ethics as well as new education and paperwork to reduce conflicts of interest for borough employees.
Carey proposed more awareness of the borough's policies on ethics for employees. He recommended that borough employees be well versed in the policies regarding doing business with the borough, taking employment outside the borough and other scenarios that could potentially cause a conflict of interest.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly enacted a new comprehensive code of ethics for municipal officials in April that mandated they file a notice of intent to do business before entering a contract with the borough as well as clarifying some other ethical conduct for elected officials on declaring conflicts of interests.
Carey said the borough had an ethics statute and established forms surrounding outside employment, or moonlighting, intent to do business and general ethics, but before the incident very few employees filled them out.
"We took on re-writing all of those," he said. "I think it was very well-received that they were needed to be looked at and re-written."
Carey's staff streamlined the forms, even including another form to be signed by borough employees that stated they had seen, and understood, the other ones.
The borough also held ethics training for all employees to talk about the new forms, when they need to be filled out and other issues like the maximum value of gifts that can be received by employees before it becomes an ethics issue ($100 throughout the year).
"The training had to do with reporting requirements and forms that were created to meet the borough's new mandated law," said Duane Bannock, who filled in as Carey's acting chief of staff after Chumley resigned.
Bannock said he put on the training as one of the last things before he left the position to resume his job as manager of the Spruce Bark Beetle Mitigation Program in July.
"I don't believe necessarily that ethics can be taught," he said.
But Bannock's training included some scenarios that could cause ethical dilemmas and discussed how best to handle the situation.
"I think it was an important area that had not been previously addressed in the detail the borough assembly wanted it to be," he said.
Borough Assembly President Gary Knopp introduced the latest amendment to the code of ethics this year to prohibit elected officials from disclosing information from an executive session. The new legislation was enacted unanimously at the assembly's December meeting.
"You can't really legislate ethics but it's probably not bad to have a guideline to go by," Knopp said.
But, he said, there still might be some updates to the code.
Knopp, a private contractor who sometimes does work for the borough, said that the code just requires the intent to do business form to be filled out but after that "it does nothing."
"It should trigger something that requires more scrutiny," he said. "That's an issue that I believe administration is going the address."
Carey said he feels that the borough has "absolutely" fixed the problems that ultimately caused Chumley to resign.
"There was a need for a higher degree of education about them," he said about the borough's policies and procedures on ethics. "Individuals are aware of ethics standards."
"We've done a much better job than we ever have done before," Carey added.
