LOWELL -- Prosecutors have dropped charges against a Chelmsford man who was accused last year of posting for sale on Craigslist a set of Massachusetts Police Association stickers that belong to an Ashby police officer.
On Friday in Lowell District Court, prosecutors dismissed two counts of false use of an association insignia against Wayne Sobanek, 29, of 19 Wildes St., according to Sobanek's attorney, Christopher Spring. The Middlesex District Attorney's Office dropped the charges, saying it would seek a new complaint charging Sobanek with different crimes, Spring said.
"Essentially, the Middlesex District Attorney's Office dismissed the case in order to avoid having to either concede the law was unconstitutional or to defend the blatantly unconstitutional law," Spring said in a press release.
Spring planned to argue in a motion to dismiss that Sobanek's display of MPA stickers on his car qualified as constitutionally protected free speech. But the charges were dropped ahead of time.
"Federal courts have repeatedly held that affixing stickers to motor vehicles is...protected by the Constitution," Spring wrote. "It was the content of the stickers on the defendant's car -- the representation that he was a member of the MPA -- that caused him to be charged with a crime."
Spring added there is "no compelling government interest" in preventing non-MPA members from displaying MPA stickers on their cars. The statute under which Sobanek was charged "does not specify" what "compelling state interest" it is trying to protect, Spring wrote.
Other courts have ruled that when police stop a car with certain emblems, officers would let their guard down because they assumed the driver was a current or retired police officer, according to Spring. But courts have rejected that argument saying, "Regardless of who the car is registered to or what emblem is placed on a car, the driver could be anyone."
According to court documents, Billerica police allege that on April 2, 2013, they were contacted by Ashby police Officer Shawn McCluskey, who reported that his department had been contacted by the MPA regarding a MPA sticker that was for sale on Craigslist for $50.
The posted read: "Brand new Massachusetts Police Association sticker has number 2013 year great to not get pulled over as these are for police officers or family members we also have a license plate think blue line toppers for plate."
The posting was made on March 31, 2013.
MPA Executive Director James Machado, a sergeant with the Fall River Police Department, said the MPA issues members an official sticker each year with the MPA insignia as registered with the Office of the Secretary of State. The sticker is for use on the rear window of vehicles registered to members of the MPA only.
The photo was of McCluskey's sticker, but he denied posting it for sale, adding that his sticker is affixed to the windshield of his personal vehicle.
McCluskey reported that his car had recently been serviced at an auto- body shop in Billerica. When police went to the auto-body shop, they saw a red Pontiac GTO with a thin blue police line on the vanity plate and two MPA stickers on the front windshield. The car was registered to Sobanek.
Sobanek allegedly told police neither he nor members of his family were MPA members. He admitted he posted the ad on Craigslist after getting the photo off Google. He said the MPA stickers that were on his car were purchased off eBay, documents state.

Website: David Watkin
Obituary: 'David Watkin was one of British cinema's top cameramen and greatest characters. He would have liked to have been a musician, but his musical ambitions got no support from his family, which had long connections with the railways. He was related to Sir Edward Watkin, the Victorian railway man who built and managed railways around the globe. His father was a lawyer, working for the railways.
Watkin served in the Army during the Second World War and then followed in the tracks of his antecedents. He worked for the newly nationalized British Railways, drifted into film-making as a messenger and camera assistant in its film section and eventually went on to win an Oscar for 'Out of Africa'.
The cinematography on 'Out of Africa', with its wide panoramas and warm, nostalgic interiors, was not particularly typical of his work. But then his no-nonsense approach proved extremely adaptable in a career that included such classic films as 'The Knack', 'Help!', 'The Charge of the Light Brigade', 'The Devils', 'Chariots of Fire', 'Yentl', 'Moonstruck' and 'Hamlet'.
He was so relaxed on set that he was famous within the industry for his habit of taking a nap between shots. Despite his lack of pretensions or any great artistic claims, he was an important innovator, well known for his technique of accentuating whites by reflecting light off sheets of polystyrene. He used the technique on the likes of 'Help!' and 'The Devils', but it was actually developed to accentuate the whiteness of clothes in washing powder commercials that he did with director Richard Lester.
Naturalism was key to Watkin's work. He often arranged his light to come through windows, prompting one critic to compare him to Vermeer, and he developed a new lighting system for shooting at night. It employed about 200 bulbs in a unit suspended from a crane some distance from the action. It served as a single, powerful light source and solved the problem of fluctuating light when characters walk through a night scene. His system of lights for night shooting became known as the 'Wendy Light', because he was gay and known to technicians as 'Wendy'.
During the 1960s he shot television commercials with several directors who would go on to achieve distinction in the field of feature films. He disliked commercials, but they were comparatively well paid.
His first full feature film was the comedy 'The Knack', which was directed by Richard Lester and is one of the films that best capture a certain zany, spontaneous, perhaps imaginary quality of the Swinging Sixties.
When Watkin found a director he liked he would frequently accept repeat engagements. He made six features with Tony Richardson. His work with Franco Zeffirelli stretched from 1976 to 1998. He got on well with Barbra Streisand, the notoriously difficult producer, director and star of 'Yentl', though he hated her music. She tried to get him to go to her concerts, but he refused. His passion was classical music. He recently completed and self-published a second volume of memoirs, entitled 'Was Clara Schumann a Fag Hag?' The title has nothing to do with his own life, except that it reflects his love of classical music and gossip and his perverse sense of humor.' [From obituary in 'The Times', February 21, 2008.]
Obituary: David Watkin, a British cinematographer best known for the scenic splendor he framed for 'Out of Africa' and for capturing the loping strides of runners on the beach in 'Chariots of Fire', set to the symphonic score by Vangelis, died on Feb. 19 at his home in Brighton, England. He was 82. The cause was cancer, his friend Chris Mullen announced.
Mr. Watkin, who over a 50-year career worked on more than 60 films, received the 1985 Academy Award for best cinematography for his work on Sydney Pollack's 'Out of Africa'. His camerawork brought a soft, romantic aura to the scenes depicting Isak Dinesen's memoir about European settlers and tribesmen in the bush country of Kenya in the early 20th century. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Watkin credited the second unit - the camera crew that went out without the actors to film the captivating landscape - for earning the 'Oscar'.
'His work was the antithesis of the stuck, theatrical style,' Todd McCarthy, the chief film critic for 'Variety' and a co-director of the 1992 documentary 'Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography', said in an interview this week. 'What set Watkin apart was a natural-light look and a freewheeling style; the camera was liberated.'
It was liberated in Mr. Watkin's work for 'The Charge of the Light Brigade', the 1968 movie recounting the disastrous cavalry attack led by Lord Cardigan during the 1854 Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War. 'It was beautiful, but had a gritty vitality to it that was different from the more studied, painterly look that was the norm for the epic film,' Mr. McCarthy said.
For 'Catch-22', Mike Nichols's 1970 adaptation of Joseph Heller's satirical novel about World War II, Mr. Watkin set up long takes to capture the choreography of rising aircraft and actors on the ground.
It was on 'The Knack', a British comedy directed by Richard Lester about sexual competition among three roommates, that Mr. Watkin got his big break into feature films. He had been filming documentaries and commercials since the mid-1950s and was on a set in the early '60s when he met Mr. Lester, who had just finished directing the Beatles in 'A Hard Day's Night'. Mr. Lester hired him to film 'The Knack', the first of six movies they would work on together. [From obituary by Dennis Hevesi in 'The New York Times', February 28, 2008.]

The second day the camera broke down and a new one had to be sent from London, and the fourth day the stills man broke his tendon and had to go to hospital - but we finished in the 10 day schedule allowed. The film was to have been titled 'A Look at Rubbish' as in the sixties the cinema going public had to sit through dreadfully banal supporting short films called 'A Look at Life' and the not so bad 'Pathé Pictorial'. However, they wanted the title changed to 'Rhythm 'n' Greens'.' [Christopher Miles] |

So what was this high-flying, barrel-engined beast doing cruising down low in the video below? Advertisement Probably just having a good romp over the Russian countryside and chalking up a little low-level time in preparation for the unlikely case that the big fighter would have had to chase an enemy plane or helicopter down low. Although this video was probably shot in the 1990s, a handful of Foxbats are still in limited service today and are mainly used in the reconnaissance role. Sadly, due to the aircraft's extraordinary operating costs and low availability, the type's days are numbered as they will probably disappear from global service entirely by the end of the decade.Thanks to our good friend David Cenciotti over at The Aviationist for finding this little gem!

An amethyst is a mineral that comes from quartz. It is usually transparent. It is a type of rock. It is valued because of its violet colour. Even though it is from quartz, it has more iron oxide (Fe2O3) than any other kind of quartz.[1] Because of this, some experts think that its colour comes from the iron in it.[1] Heating the amethyst either takes away its colour or changes it to a yellow hue. Amethysts are found in Brazil, Uruguay, Ontario, and North Carolina. The rock amethyst is the birthstone of the month February.
Meaning and superstition[change | change source]
Many people believe amethysts protect one from poison, evil, and getting drunk.[2] This is where the name of this rock came from, The Greek word amethustos, means "without being drunken". Also they are thought to be good for hearing, recovering from headaches, good dreams, and more. Some Catholic popes also wear a rosary of amethyst around their necks.[3] Some Roman women thought gems could keep their husbands faithful to them.
Amethysts are also worn because people think it makes them look gentle.[3] The "powers" of an amethyst also include healing, peace, love, more spirituality, courage, protection from robbers, and happiness.[3]
In the Mohs scale, it is included as the number seven.[3]
In religion[change | change source]
In the New Testament, according to the Bible, the amethyst became part of the foundation of Jerusalem. This was written in the Book of Revelations. Each gemstone was a symbol of something. The amethyst stood for being a gift of tongues and being filled with the desire to please God.[4]
Decoration[change | change source]
The amethyst is worn and used for fashion in a number of different ways. It is polished and shaped for rings, earrings, and cufflinks. It may be also used for brooches, sometimes being carved into a cluster of grapes. People like the way amethysts look, especially when they are put in gold and diamonds.[4]
History[change | change source]
In the legends, there are many stories about amethysts. One of them tells how amethysts were supposedly created. According to the story, Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and partying, was angry because of something against him and wanted to get revenge.[4] He ordered that the first person who was mortal to come across his path would be eaten by tigers. Just at that moment a beautiful maiden named Amethyst came, on her way to worship the goddess Diana. Diana saw what was going to happen and she quickly made Amethyst a stone to save her from the tigers. When Bacchus saw this, he repented and poured wine over the stone, making its color purple.[4]
Royalty[change | change source]
The amethyst is worn by royalty and nobility. This is because its royal color was purple. When it was found in the Minoan period in Greece (c. 2500 B.C.), it was polished and shaped into cabochons (dome-shaped stones). Then, it was set in gold. During the 15th century, the French fleur-de-lis brooch could only be worn by the Royal family on special times.[4] The fleur-de-lis design on it is put in with sapphires and amethysts.[5]

Secret - Easy Agility
by cGub Nov 23, 2009
If you want a very high Agility stat to avoid enemy attacks more often, there's a very simple way to do it. First, head to an open space - in Brannoch, Melrode and the path along Melrode Monastery work nicely - and start rotating the control stick so that Brian will continuously run in circles. While you're rotating unplug the N64 controller you're using. If done correctly, Brian should still be running in circles. The more you run, the more Agility you gain. With this method you can leave the console on and gain a nice amount of agility without any work. |

Short Plants Evolve Faster than Tall Ones
Lab Report
Ann Northrup spent her undergraduate years at the University of Michigan, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in microbiology….
More From This AuthorRates of genetic evolution vary in all parts of the tree of life, but causes for the variation are not well understood. Recent work has shown that in plants, within any given lineage, there is a strong correlation between plant height and rate of evolutionary change of the nuclear and chloroplast DNA. The explanation for this correlation is the "rate of mitosis" hypothesis. In other words, the rate of genome copying is greater in faster growing short plants than it is in tall plants such as in many trees. The more often a genome is copied, the greater the opportunity for a copying error to take place, a mutation. The study suggests that shorter, faster growing plants will be better equipped to adapt to climate changes.

Yet another new clip has been released from "Iron Man 3." This time Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is attempting a mid-air rescue. He has no other choice after thirteen people get sucked out of a giant hole in the side of Air Force One.
Though his suit isn't strong enough to carry all of the people falling to the Earth, that won't stop him from giving it a shot. No such luck for those still on the plane, as it explodes while Stark flies through the air.
In addition to Downey, "Iron Man 3" stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce and Rebecca Hall. The movie is directed by Shane Black, who is new to the franchise. Downey and Paltrow recently talked about the change and how it affected the movie. "Iron Man 3" is in theaters Friday, May 3.

Filmed almost entirely in his own Brooklyn brownstone, Matt Zoller Seitz's Home (2006) follows various interpersonal relationships as they unfold over the course of a party. The cast is large and diverse, from a brash salesman (T. Stephen Neave) to a writer of some acclaim (Pavol Liska) to musicians and philosophers and music aficionados. Seitz takes us from room to room, conversation to conversation, canvassing the proceedings, as if he's making sure there isn't something interesting he's ignoring.
When I'm at a party, I do the same thing.
This allows us to follow the Altmanesque web of stories Seitz has created while staying true to our two leads, Bobby (E. Jason Liebrecht) and Susan (Nicol Zanzarella), and their tenuous potential pairing. Bobby, as played by Liebrecht, is a bit of an introvert, often content to stand on the outskirts and just watch (he tells Susan that he's a great observer) when perhaps the best course of action would involve being a bit more proactive. And Susan? Well, Susan isn't over her ex, just yet. They intersect numerous times over the course of the evening, then withdraw, and each time we hope for that crucial moment where they'll really connect. So wonderfully elliptical is the dialogue that we're never quite sure when that might happen, if it will at all. Still, we hope.
When they do withdraw, Jonathan Wolff's camera floats around the room, more often that not finding the poetic images that are so often inherent in these types of situations. Some of them fall flat or seem to be the result of not having a good place to put the camera or not having fully thought out what the framing is trying to convey, but these are a minority. Likewise, with a cast this big and a budget this small, there are performances that are, let's say, less than good, but mostly those are the smaller roles. The key characters handle themselves well, their performances are largely solid.
At the end of the day, there's little that's extraordinary about Home (although there's several short stretches that are close), but a whole lot to like. Seitz displays a real talent, a grasp of the medium. Clearly, a filmmaker to watch.
Home is available for purchase on Amazon, or it can be rented from Netflix. Visit the film's official website. Matt Zoller Seitz's blog writings can be found at The House Next Door.
Starring: E. Jason Liebrecht, Nicol Zanzarella, Erin Stacey Visslailli, T. Stephen Neave, Pavol Liska, and Minerva Scelza

BP Comment Quick Links
May 6, 2013 BP UnfilteredWhy The Angels, Blue Jays, and Dodgers Have Non-Zero Playoff OddsI'm dumb, so when I see something like the Angels falling nine games out of first place after 31 games, I think "welp, that'll do it then." And then when I look at the playoff odds and see that they're still 20 percent likely to make the playoffs, I'm surprised. I understand the mechanisms at work -- the Angels are probably a good team, and so the odds expect them to play like a good team going forward -- but it's impossible to imagine any team making up an 11-20 stretch. It's impossible to imagine it because I'm dumb. It shouldn't be that hard to imagine. The worst 31-game stretches by last year's playoff teams: Rangers: 15-16 Giants: 15-16 A lot of other teams had stretches this bad and didn't make the playoffs, so you know, it's not good. It's really not good to have a stretch like this at the start, leaving no room for another stretch like this. But this is why the Angels, Dodgers, Blue Jays aren't at zero, and why, like me, you might be dumb for expecting otherwise.

The latest debt trends & analysis from our industry experts
If you're part way through Debt Remedy...
If you're an existing DMP client...
It's a criminal offence to lend money for profit without a consumer credit licence. A company or an individual who engages in unlicensed lending is commonly known as a loan shark.
Loan sharks often lend money alongside another legal or illegal business. The methods they use to lend out and collect money vary a lot. Some of the warning signs that a lender is acting illegally include:
Not all loan sharks act like this. Some may appear like legitimate businesses like a doorstep lender and you may be given a payment book or even an agreement to sign. But what they're doing is still illegal, and they have no right to lend out money with a licence.
If you've borrowed money from a loan shark, the most important things to remember are:
If you're worried about a loan shark, confidential help is available from specialist illegal money lending teams who investigate and prosecute illegal lenders.
Getting advice on loan sharks depends on where you live in the UK. You can report a loan shark online or call one of the following teams:
Free online debt advice in 20 mins
It's not always obvious if a creditor is lending money illegally, especially if they act like a normal business.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) helpline can tell you if a business has a valid consumer credit licence. You can call them on 0800 111 6768.
If you have a payment book or agreement showing an address or licence number, have this handy when you call.
Sometimes a business may have a valid consumer credit licence which allows them to do other financial activities, but not to issue loans. They're still breaking the law if they lend or collect money.
If you've borrowed from a loan shark, we won't judge you and everything you tell us is confidential. Use our online Debt Remedy tool or call our Helpline (freephone, including all mobiles). We'll help you create a personalised budget and give you a tailored solution to help you deal with your debts.

e2e4 London Gatwick International
18th - 22nd August 2012
Crowne Plaza, London-Gatwick Airport, Langley Drive, Crawley, RH11 7SX, England
A series of 10 player all play alls open to all players as follows:- The Masters will offer players the opportunity to play for an IM norm and is open to players rated 2050 or above, or those who have qualified via the Challengers. Please note that we only have places left for titled players. Untitled players completing the entry form will be contacted in the event a place becomes available. The Challengers is open to players rated over 1900, or graded above 150 ECF, or qualified from a previous Major. Players will be placed in groups of approximately equal strength. The winner of each challengers section will qualify for the next Masters event free of charge. The Major is open to all players rated below 2000 (or graded below 165 ECF) who want to play 9 competitive FIDE rated games of chess in a friendly atmosphere with the opportunity to gain those all important rating points or obtain their first ever FIDE rating. Players will be placed in groups according to rating / grade so that all the players in a group are of a similar strength. In an all play all, all games are FIDE rated, even if unrated players take part (this is unique to all play alls). Unrated players will obtain a full FIDE rating just by playing in this one event.* *By playing in this event, an unrated player will be assured of achieving a full FIDE rating as long as all the unrated players score at least a 1 point. FIDE ratings now go down to 1201 so it is realistic for any player graded 60 ECF or above to obtain a FIDE rating. All of these FIDE rated all play alls are set in the same great hotel as the London Diamond Jubilee Congress in June. |
This event is only possible thanks to the support of the
Crowne Plaza Gatwick Hotel. If you are staying overnight,
please stay at the venue if you want the event to continue!
We'll give you a £10 discount off your entry fee if you do!! ENTER ONLINE HERE |
It's not practical for an event such as this to have an Opening Ceremony with the drawing of lots for colours, but we do believe that all players should be able to see that the draw for colours is fair, transparent and random. For those of you who have played in one of our events before, you will know that we like to be inventive when it comes to doing this. In the week preceding the tournament, we will announce a sporting event whose outcome will determine colours at our congress! |
Playing Schedule
As this is an all play all no byes are allowed. Each player must play in every round. ENTER ONLINE HERE |

Vintage Sacred French Medals Sterling Bracelet Signed
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
Deep religious belief stems from the origin of this bracelet. Many artisans from other countries go way back in creating pieces with Mary and Jesus and many catholic saints. This fabulous sterling bracelet not only holds 4 antique medals from France, but it also calls upon the deep belief from the mayans. You can't get much better protection than that. The bracelet weighs 34.7 grams and has 7 Mayan panels with the sun god, Tonatiuh. on each. He was believed to be in charge of the Aztec Heaven called Tollan. Each medal is from the late 1800's and one is dated 1830. The bracelet measures 7" long and is 3/4" wide ( not counting the medals). Each link is a dome with a solid back. This is signed with a crown and PLata Real. It is REALLY well made and in excellent condition. VintageSparkles offers Layaway on all our pieces regardless of which site it comes from.

I got to hit the road at the weekend. I'd been doing London based jobs for so long that I'd forgotten what it feels like to buckle up and rev off down big roads and onto smaller, lesser known lanes. Beth from the Ludlow Food Festival called me up a couple of months ago, longing for me to bring Jimmy to their new Spring Event. It was to be beer and bangers based - say the word banger to me and I'm there. I love sausages so much that I once got a job in sausage promotion for a rather unsavoury individual purporting to be the only black farmer in Britain. He turned out to be a omplete charlatan but the bangers were addictive.
I rumbled up the M40, collected some ice cream in Stratford and then headed West from Kidderminster. The Ludlow lot had rallied round and found me a lovely couple to stay with in Hopton Wafers. We got on like a house on fire and I lapped up all the Slow Food ex-HQ news with fascination. It seems that all is not right in the upper echelons of the Movement.
I remember when I first heard about the Slow Food Movement. I was in Tuscany on my old stomping ground about five years ago and I had just had an epiphany that food would be my future. My friends fed me stories about this revolutionary occurence that was rippling through Italy and beyond. Magic, I thought, I want to know more. Since that time it has grown hugely and has become embedded in the language along with those other ambiguous terms; 'sustainable' and 'locally sourced'. The notion of 'Slow' now comes with extra baggage and I regualarly find myself in discussions with hardcore food people about its merits and relevence.
In Ludlow there is outrage because someone has pledged cash to the Movement on certain conditions, one of which was to have the HQ moved from Ludlow to London. Despite a majority voting against this, Mr Petrini sanctioned the move. Outcry! It's all far more convuluted than this but what it has served to bring about is a deep-rooted local scepticism about the values of the Movement.
I smell a revolution...and surely, the whole point of Slow Food is tied up with a localised reclamation of food production and selling. Yes, it's nice to be affiliated with the broader group but it's not about being sheep-like at this stage. Ludlow - I'm intrigued to see what your next move will be.
Anyway, Choc Star was warmly received - perhaps one too many orders for 'vanilla cornets' for my liking but hey, the truffles went down well. By Saturday night I had moved from my position by the castle to the punk gig in the Ludlow Brewery. I loved it. I love the way in the country you get everyone coming out to play together rather than sectioning off into appropriate groups. There were scruffy kids and committee members, middle-aged ex-punks and tweenie cider drinkers.
I left Ludlow on Sunday afternoon, laden with flagons of beer, Welsh perry, marmalades, bangers, chocolate bars and a promise to return in September. I hope to get back there - it rocks. Shropshire is special.

In Reply to: Schematic of my version of the LadyDay posted by Bas Horneman on December 19, 2005 at 16:20:52:
Hi,Nice one Bas, just a few notes....
1) The 12R resistor pair are heater balancers, so use these or the Humpot/Resistor combo instead, not both. My own use with two sets of resistors on each side of the heater balances the Cathode currents out of each side of the heater.
2) The 0.47uF X 2 Capacitors after the rectifier are really "tuning" capacitors, set so you get the kind of HT you want. I was operating the 300B with 350V/60mA with effectively 6K nominal Load (3K OPT Mismatched). Add a few uF to get the HT up to around 450V.
Also the RC circuit across the choke should be adjusted for lowest ripple.

Lovely Dubrovnik
... war in the 1990's.
Dubrovnik lived up to its reputation as the jewel in the Adriatic. It was really busy with several cruise ships in and the main street was packed with visitors and stalls selling locally made produce. We thought we'd get the steps over with first so we so we climbed up to where the cable car to the fortress leaves from just outside the city walls. We bought a ticket on the way ...
Day 38
... I have waited this long to get into the water. Realising I have left my bag with our passports and my wallet unattended I swim back to the ladder. David snorkels around a bit more and just as he's finishing up we hear a noise toward the public beach. Then we see a guy wearing some sort of jet boots and he is launching himself about 3 or 4 metres straight up and travelling across the water but in the air. It's incredible to watch and must take an amazing amount of balance ...
Dubrovnik, Montenegro, and Bosnia
... city. It was the only way back in old times to cross the river there and so this was a very important place. During the times of the war in the 90s, Mostar was heavily hit and the bridge was actually destroyed, since then they have rebuilt it using 80% of the same stones retrieved from the river. This city still has tensions today, as it is divided in half by a road. One side is the catholic side and the other is the Muslim side. The Muslim side is where the bridge and all of the old town ...
Goodbye Montenegro, Hello Croatia!
... and bacon. We were served a local red wine, and the main dish of pork with cabbage and potatoes was served on a large platter - but because I don't eat meat they brought out another large plate with two fresh trout and all kinds of vegetables. Of course, I couldn't eat all of it on my own so I was more than happy to pass the plate around and share with the group. It was absolutely delicious. For dessert we had a homemade apple strudel type ...
Vis to Dubrovnik
... minutes from our destination. We think it was for the smokers on the trip that couldn't make the 4 hour journey without a few cigarettes. The last stop was in Bosnia Herzegovina we hopped off the bus to grab a couple snacks and were back in the bus just as the torrential rain returned. Finally we arrived in Dubrovnik and took a cab to our our apartment. Unfortunately, the airbnb host had mapped the apartment location incorrectly ...

This climate zone has an an average temperature above 10°C (50°F) in their warmest months, and an average in the coldest between 18 to -3°C (64 to 27°F). Summers tend to be dry with less than one-third that of the wettest winter month, and with less than 30mm (1.18 in) of precipitation in a summer month. SMany of the regions with Mediterranean climates have relatively mild winters and very warm summers.
The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Csb". (Mediterran Climate).
The average temperature for the year in Miramonte is 46.3°F (7.9°C). The warmest month, on average, is July with an average temperature of 63.4°F (17.4°C). The coolest month on average is January, with an average temperature of 34.2°F (1.2°C).
The highest recorded temperature in Miramonte is 91.0°F (32.8°C), which was recorded in July. The lowest recorded temperature in Miramonte is -6.0°F (-21.1°C), which was recorded in January.
The average amount of precipitation for the year in Miramonte is 42.7" (1084.6 mm). The month with the most precipitation on average is January with 8.0" (203.2 mm) of precipitation. The month with the least precipitation on average is July with an average of 0.1" (2.5 mm). There are an average of 64.0 days of precipitation, with the most precipitation occurring in March with 10.0 days and the least precipitation occurring in July with 1.0 days.
In Miramonte, there's an average of 187.3" of snow (0 cm). The month with the most snow is March, with 40.8" of snow (103.6 cm).

If you're looking for the ultimate party shot, you will get mixed reviews depending on location, traditions and personal preference from whoever you ask. In this case, The Gentle Manual saw fit to compile a list of our favorite party starters by a few aspects such as names, strength and sheer awesomeness. Perhaps one of these can be the next highlight of your party:
1. Flaming Dr. Pepper
3/4 Shot Amaretto Almond Liqueur
1/4oz Bacardi 151
1/2 12oz Glad of Beer
Pretty simple instructions to a splendid shot. Take a shot glass and fill about 3/4 of the way with Almond Liqueur. Top of with the 151. Take your glass, pour the beer. Hover your shot over the glass, ignite the 151, drop it down in the beer and take it down. If you've never had one of these, trust me, it tastes just like Dr. Pepper.
2. Royal Flush
1 1/4oz of Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey
1/2oz Peach Schnapps
1/4oz Chambord Raspberry Liqueur
1/2oz Cranberry Juice
This is on the larger side, but not as brutal as a straight liquor shot. Simple, simple instructions. Pour into a shaker filled with ice. Shake generously. Pour into a shot glass. Enjoy the spoils.
3. Irish Car Bomb
12oz of Guinness Stout
1/2 Shot of Jameson's Irish Whiskey
1/2 Shot of Bailey's Irish Cream
Pour your Guinness into the glass. Take your whiskey and Baileys, put them in a shot glass together. Just like any other bomb, drop it down and take it back. Though this one calls for a few other elements; perhaps some Flogging Molly blaring at top level to really set the mood. Remember, this drink is an age old tradition. Respect it.
4. Four Horseman
3/4 Jose Cuervo Gold
3/4 Jagermeister
3/4 Rumpleminze Peppermint Liqueur
3/4 Bacardi 151
Now don't let anyone fool you. This shot doesn't have a fruity, delectable taste. Actually it's quite awful. Iit has the firepower of the National Guard and toughness of an MMA fighter. You can mix all the ingredients into a shaker (ice optional), shake it slightly, pour into a shot glass. Then become the bravest person at the party.
5. German Chocolate Cake
1/2oz of Frangelica Hazelnut Liquer
1/2oz of Stoli Vanilla Vodka
Lemon Wedge
Take an Old Fashioned glass and sugar the rim. Pour your ingredients into glass. If you'd like, prepare in a shaker with ice first, then pour. But most bartenders will advise against this. Lick your sugar, take the shot then bite into your lemon wedge. By some form of alcohol magic, you then taste the wonderful flavor of a German Chocolate Cake.
6. Red Headed Slut
1/2oz Peach Schnapps
1/2oz of Jagermeister
Dash of Cranberry Juice
You can take this shot in whatever glass you like, but an Old Fashioned is advised. Pour your ingredients into an ice-filled shaker. Strain. Share. Shoot. Though if you're sharing (which you should be) up the ante and double or triple the ingredient size. Minus the offensive name, this is a pleasantly sweet shot.
7. Girl Scout Cookie
1/2oz of Bailey's Irish Cream
1/2oz of Kahlua
1/2oz of Peppermint Schnapps or Creme de Menthe
Once again ice is optional. Either way, pour your liquids into your shaker. Make sure they're mixed well. Pour out, then have the tastiest shot your mouth has ever experience. Don't get this confused as a shot for the weak. When you're getting your ass kicked by this Girl Scout, don't say we didn't tell you.

LEADERS: Azerane Bam BinkyBunny JerseyGirl LBJ10 LittlePuffyTail LongEaredLions RabbitPam
Over the weekend I discovered there is a feral rabbit population growing down at one of the beach suburbs. My sister and family booked into a park for a short holiday and told me there were rabbits running around everywhere.
I contacted binky bunny member Kafrn to see if she were aware of it as this is more local to her. She was aware and the park had even contacted her to help resolve the problem. (You may have learnt from her that she has inadvertantly become known as the go-to person regarding rabbits in her area).
They had told her it started when a holiday maker released her rabbits. Management was considering trapping and killing the feral rabbits. Also there was mention of poisoning.... Yet the park has notices to their holiday makers not to harrass the rabbits. Personally, I think this is to protect themselves and maybe to keep quiet the intentions to cull. The rabbits seem to live underneath the decking of the onsite cabins. Probably in burrows also, I'm not really sure.
Just today I have learnt that there may be a problem developing of people dumping rabbits there also . Sound familiar?
Other then trying to start some public awareness in media about dumping, I'm not sure what else we can do.
1) to stop the dumping
2) to deal with the already existing population.
I think calici and myxomatosis (which has become epidemic) will actually take many of these rabbits.
We're all ears for any advice people can give.
I should add there are really only 2 groups that do rabbit adoptions - RSPCA and SA Rabbit Rescue which is really small scale compared to US rabbit rescues. I'm completely lost on what we could do for these rabbits. I think in a lot of cases of these round ups, many are euthanised for health reasons and also because there is little else to be done. I hate to say it but if it comes to that, I'd rather it be sooner than later leave them to keep breeding and have countless rabbits die to predators and disease. That could go on for a long time.
My 1st thought was to at least do a round up and get them of this place... but then what? I know Kafrn and myself are no way equipped to deal with these numbers.
Appreciate it MB. I have to be careful myself not to think too negatively. Just because rabbit adoption is not big here doesn't mean something like that can't happen. I'm trying to be more open minded. Coffee......good idea!
reading this last week made me think of a situation we have in my home town...Duluth, MN. Near Duluth is an area called Park Point. Park Point is, essentially, an island near the point of Lake Superior. It's only connection to the "main land" is through bridges. Years and years ago people started releasing their domesticated rabbits, with no way off the island these rabbits quickly multiplied in this confined area. Here is a little video I found to share...
Just a small update: Unfortunately, disease it taking these rabbits fast. Maybe even faster than anything we could organise to make a difference. The Park owners told Kafrn that it's myxi. I'm actually wondering if it's another disease or that they are possibly being poisoned... For the record, I am not accusing the park owners of doing this. Poison could be set out by anyone, or the rabbits are inadvertantly eating toxic plants, tainted food or bait intended for rats or mice .
EDITED (02/16/11) : I did get some of this wrong. ^ It was not the park owners but people staying there that told Kafrn of the rabbits dying. I've since heard that the very possibly was poisoned grain put out for the rabbits. The way they are going is very typical of poisoning.
Just a few people being irresponsible and letting their rabbits go has lead to countless rabbits dying in this horrible way. I look at TimTim and think all those are just like him really. Like all our pet ones we care so much for. However, these are being viewed as numbers, pests, problems etc. A problem people created. A familiar story...
I'm not wishing to upset you, but I was reading something today about biological control and I thought of this thread. It is in a textbook for my class. It reads:
Biological control... has a poor record against pest control. One of the few successes is the use of Myxoma against rabbits. It holds the density of rabbits in Australia to about 20% of their uncontrolled density despite the decline in virulence of the virus and of susceptibility of the rabbit, both a product of massive natural selection.
So Myxoma is used as a biological control agent? I had no idea, I was shocked when I read this. Then under control by manipulating fertility, it reads:
Two rabbit populations in Australia were artificially sterilized to varying degrees. The reduced recruitment of newborn was compensated by a density-dependent survival of the remaining juveniles. Female sterility had to reach 80% before a decline in population was observed.
Basically this means that reducing the number being born leads to an increase in survival rate of those that are born. So sterilizing doesn't do much good in reducing the population size unless a vast majority of the females are sterilized. There is also a segment later on about genetic engineering. It reads:
Tyndale-Biscoe suggested using a pathogen of low virulence to vector a foreign gene that would disrupt reproduction. He suggested particularly that the Myxoma virus could be used to carry an inserted gene that would reduce the birth rate of the European rabbit in Australia.
I have heard of using viruses as a cloning vector in bacteria, but never in mammals. Is that even possible? At any rate, I found this all very interesting especially since you were talking about it on here. I guess rabbits must be a pretty big concern in Australia if it was mentioned so many times in my book.
So Myxoma is used as a biological control agent? I had no idea, I was shocked when I read this.
Yes, they introduced it here in Australia for that purpose in 1950. It was effective initially but over time the wild(actually feral) population developed an immunity. The rabbits today most susceptible are our pets and farmed rabbits. The virus has mutated a few times and there have also been releases of new strains. I'd be interested to know if that first of your quotes from your textbook holds true today. That myxo is still regarded as an effective control?
Another control used is Rabbit Haemorrhagic Virus (known here as calici virus). This was "accidently" released in the mainland in 1995. I say accidently because they were doing testing with it on an Australian island off the coast and the virus spread ahead of schedule. They did later controlled releases and had always intended to. We can vaccinate our pet rabbits against this virus but not Myxoma. There is a vaccine for myxo available made from Shope Fibroma virus. Authorities here will not allow the vaccine because they say the immunity could transfer to the wild population (who have already gained some natural immunity anyway!). This supposed spread of immunity from vaccinated rabbits has not been the case in other countries that have been using the vaccine and also have wild populations of the European rabbit. At the moment, myxomatosis cases in our pet rabbits is reaching epidemic proportions due to the unusual weather patterns we are having here. The high humidity has meant the main carriers, mosquitoes, have thrived. I have not actually heard any reports on there being a major rise in myxo deaths in the wild populations though... If our pet rabbits are infected, they commonly die within 48hrs or 2 weeks at most. It's mostly suggested that we euthanise them as soon as it is a confirmed case so as not to prolong suffering.
So sterilizing doesn't do much good in reducing the population size unless a vast majority of the females are sterilized.
So this sterilization is done through a virus that makes the rabbit Doe become infertile? I hadn't heard of that happening here before. I had heard of something like this being proposed for controlling the cane toad population. I think it caused sterility in the male toads. I really don't know if it was done through gene cloning (if that is even the correct term!).
Tyndale-Biscoe suggested using a pathogen of low virulence to vector a foreign gene that would disrupt reproduction. He suggested particularly that the Myxoma virus could be used to carry an inserted gene that would reduce the birth rate of the European rabbit in Australia
This is meaning a myxoma strain that is not fatal I assume? Just causes some sterility amoung the rabbit population?
I guess rabbits must be a pretty big concern in Australia if it was mentioned so many times in my book.
They were at one time. I really don't know the impact they have today but 50 or more years ago they were a major pest problem on agricultural land and to natural habitats of native animals. The "wild" rabbit is an introduced species. Same species as our domestic pets. They were brought here in the mid 1800's and numbers grew to plague proportions. Today, controls in problem areas mostly involve gassing or baiting with oat grain tainted with pidone. Well, that's 2 I know of anyway.
Jersey - To answer your questions... I'd be interested to know if that first of your quotes from your textbook holds true today. That myxo is still regarded as an effective control? I'm not sure, the book doesn't elaborate on this too much. The book was published in 2006, so it is fairly new. Basically it is saying that the rabbits have become mostly immune to the virus and the virus has become less virulent, both due to the natural selection process. So that part is consistent with what you said. So yes, it does seem to be contradicting itself unless it means that it had been successful in the past. So this sterilization is done through a virus that makes the rabbit Doe become infertile? Not necessarily by a virus. I think in this case the rabbits were being captured and spayed. This is meaning a myxoma strain that is not fatal I assume? Just causes some sterility amoung the rabbit population? I was half asleep last night. At first I was thinking vector cloning, but this is more like gene therapy. Basically, the virus is deactived so they don't cause harm to the animal and it is used as a vector to transport a gene to the cells of the animal. My guess is that it probably has something to do with hormone production, which would cause sterility from lack of ovulation. I'm just guessing at that, but it makes sense. The trick though it that it would have to be in vivo, meaning the animal is injected and that's it... the virus takes care of the rest.
You're welcome. I know, the textbook is so confusing. I get lost reading it sometimes.
I've been looking to see if an article/journal is available for the study by Tyndale-Biscoe, but I'm not having any luck yet.
I've got the title of the article: Virus-vectored immunocontraception of feral mammals, published in 1994 in Reproduction, Fertility, and Development. The article isn't available for free anywhere, even through the university's library. I did, however, find an article talking about cats that refers to the article by Tyndale-Biscoe. Here's the link:
It says:
As an alternative, immunocontra- ception is based on reducing birth rates (Alexander & Bialy 1994; Tyndale-Biscoe 1994). Immunocontra- ception is a process by which the immune system of an individual is made to attack its own reproductive cells and hence lead to sterility. This is achieved by infecting individuals using a gamete protein that triggers an immune response; the resulting antibo- dies bind to these proteins and block fertilization (Bradley, Hinds & Bird 1997). Infection occurs by injection (e.g. for large mammals; Kirkpatrick et al. 1997), bait (e.g. for small carnivores; Bradley, Hinds & Bird 1997) or living vectors (e.g. for small herbi- vores; Tyndale-Biscoe 1994; Cowan 1996; Rodger 1997; Smith, Walmsley & Polkinghorne 1997). Virus-vectored immunocontraception (VVIC), for example, utilizes a species-speci®c virus to dissemi- nate this vaccine through a pest population by pla- cing the gene encoding the reproductive protein into the genome of the virus (Tyndale-Biscoe 1994). This potentially powerful new technique has generated a signi®cant impetus of research eort into feasibility.
Sorry if that didn't copy well. Interesting stuff though!

Casting: Guess Who's Returning for 'The Hangover 3,' Plus New Ambitious Project from the Creator of 'Glee'
Casting agents are working overtime this week – here's all the latest news about which stars are appearing in upcoming films.
-- Glee creator Ryan Murphy is set to bring One Hit Wonders – a musical comedy about three 90's pop stars who watched their solo careers fade into obscurity -- to the big screen. To become relevant again, the divas form a sort of has-been supergroup and what are sure to be hilarious hijinks follow.
The project is already set up at Sony – and has attracted some big name talent to the cast. Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, and Cameron Diaz will play the former pop goddesses and they're set to be joined by Andy Samberg and Beyonce in as yet unidentified roles. Plans are for Murphy to make his AIDS drama The Normal Heart next, but One Hit Wonders should go in front of cameras after that. [via IndieWire]
If you needed proof that winning or simply being nominated for an Oscar can have a huge impact on your career, here you go.
-- Nate Faxon and Jim Rash won a Best Adapted Screenplay award for their work on The Descendants Sunday night, and now – on Wednesday – they've just sold a new action comedy script. Meanwhile, Kristen Wiig was nominated for an Oscar Sunday night (she didn't win…), but she's set to star in this new Faxon and Rash project. See? Getting ahead in Hollywood is easy – just get an Oscar nod and it's smooth sailing from there. [via Vulture]
-- Relativity Media is ready to pull the trigger on The Most Wonderful Time – yet another imaginatively titled holiday comedy. While these sorts of films have become almost cliché at this point, at least this one has some potentially interesting casting working in its favor.
According to sources, Robert Redford and Diane Keaton are eyeing the project, which focuses on the "chaos of a family around Christmastime, featuring storylines and multiple characters that intersect." Not exactly the most original idea in the world, but maybe Redford and Keaton can make it work.
The Most Wonderful Time will be directed by Jessie Nelson – who last directed the 2001 Sean Penn film I Am Sam. [via Deadline]
-- Good news, fight fans! Mike Tyson is coming back for The Hangover Part III.
Iron Mike dropped the news in a recent interview with The Boxing Blog. The film, which is slated to begin production this summer for release in May 2013, is supposedly the end of the series. [via ComingSoon]
In the movie A Dog's Purpose, what is the name of the character played by Michael Bofshever

Web version of NY Times Gerth article left uncorrected 13 years after publication
Research ››› ››› RYAN CHIACHIERE
Thirteen years after the publication of a New York Times article that made a false claim regarding President Bill Clinton's tenure as Arkansas governor, the online and Nexis versions of that article still do not include the correction.
In The Hunting of the President: The Ten-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton (Thomas Dunne Books, 2000), co-authors Joe Conason and Gene Lyons noted that a falsehood regarding President Bill Clinton's tenure as governor of Arkansas that appeared in a March 18, 1994, New York Times article was not corrected until a month after the article first appeared, after the article "had been featured in scores of accusatory editorials and columns." Lending credence to the charge by Conason and Lyons, the eventual correction noted that the error was also reflected in two additional Times articles in 1994 -- on March 19 and March 30 -- and a Times editorial on March 31. But 13 years later, the online version of the original article -- in addition to the version that is archived in the Nexis database -- still does not include the correction, nor do the subsequent articles or the editorial.
The March 18, 1994, Times article by Jeff Gerth -- who, along with Don Van Natta Jr., has written a soon-to-be released book about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) called Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton, (Little, Brown, and Co., June 2007) -- falsely stated that, during Bill Clinton's tenure as governor of Arkansas, Tyson Foods Inc. "benefited from a variety of state actions, including $9 million in government loans, the placement of company executives on important state boards and favorable decisions on environmental issues." The lengthy article suggested that Tyson Foods may have been the beneficiary of these purported "state actions" because a top lawyer for the company had reportedly advised Hillary Clinton on lucrative investments. On April 20, 1994, the paper issued a correction asserting that the article "misstated benefits that the Tyson Foods company received from the state of Arkansas" and noting that "Tyson did not receive $9 million in loans from the state." However, that correction does not appear anywhere in the version of the article that currently appears on the Times website. Additionally, while the correction is available separately in the Nexis database, it is not attached to the version of the article archived in Nexis, and a search of the article's title, "Top Arkansas Lawyer Helped Hillary Clinton Turn Big Profit," does not list the correction among the results.
In addition to noting that that the correction the Times offered came after "the fictive $9-million loan had been featured in scores of accusatory editorials and columns," Lyons and Conason wrote that the correction itself was misleading because it said that Tyson "did benefit from at least $7 million in state tax credits, according to a Tyson spokesman." According to Lyons and Conason, those credits were, in fact, "investment incentives available to every corporation." Gerth and Van Natta offered the same misrepresentation in Her Way, in which they note the Times story and provide a footnote that asserts that Gerth's Times article had been "corrected to show that Tyson had not received $9 million in state loans but had benefited from at least $7 million in tax credits from the state of Arkansas" (Pages 135-136), still suggesting wrongdoing by failing to note the widespread availability of those credits.
In the past, the Times has added corrections to online versions of its articles, though not always immediately and at least once without noting the original error.
As Media Matters for America noted, the Times attached an "Editor's Note" to an archived version of a July 16, 2006, article by then-Times reporter Anne E. Kornblut, in which Kornblut falsely reported that Sen. Clinton had criticized her Democratic colleagues in Congress for "wasting time" and "for taking on issues that arouse conservatives and turn out Republican voters." After Media Matters and others pointed out the central error in Kornblut's article -- that in the speech in question, Sen. Clinton had been criticizing the Republican-led Congress, not her fellow Democrats -- the Times attached the "Editors' Note" to the original Web-only version of the article on July 18. On July 21, Media Matters noted that the article had yet to be updated in Nexis, though by July 26, the update had been added. On July 24, ABC News' The Note flagged the apparent omission of the correction in the TimesSelect version of the article. That version of the article appears to have been removed from the Times' website.
On October 25, 2006, the Times published an article correcting a false assertion made in an October 24 article on Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (CT) -- that Lieberman had never "utter[ed] the words 'stay the course' " with regard to the Iraq war. A note at the top of the original article indicates "correction appended." Media Matters documented several instances in which Lieberman used that exact phrase when discussing Iraq. The October 25 article noted: "Senator Joseph I. Lieberman has used the phrase 'stay the course' several times in discussing the war in Iraq in recent years, echoing a key phrase of the White House, contrary to an article published Tuesday in The New York Times." The Times also posted a correction to the online version of the October 24 article, noting that "Mr. Lieberman has indeed used the phrase; in the hundreds of statements reviewed, it appears at least half a dozen times."
In a January 21 front-page Times article, reporters Pat Healy and Jeff Zeleny misrepresented the results of a Washington Post/ABC News poll to claim that Clinton's favorability rating was 13 points lower than what that poll actually reported. The Times has still not issued a formal correction in the either print or online editions of the paper for the error.
Furthermore, in a separate "news analysis" article published that same day, Healy falsely suggested that Sen. Clinton proclaimed that the poll shows her ahead of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) by 41 percentage points, writing: "Her new campaign wasted no time yesterday sending an e-mail message about a new Washington Post-ABC poll giving Mrs. Clinton a 41 percentage point lead over her closest rival, Mr. Obama, who had 17 points." In fact, the misrepresentation of the poll results was Healy's, not Clinton's. Clinton sent out a press release noting, accurately, that according to the poll, 41 percent of respondents chose her in "a hypothetical primary field against 12 other Democrats," while 17 percent chose Obama. On January 23, the Times corrected Healy's misrepresentation of the Clinton campaign's statement, but appended that correction to the online version of the front page article rather than the news analysis article that originally contained the error. Indeed, the version of the news analysis currently available on the Times website does not inform readers that the article has been corrected.

Bradford-based supermarket Morrisons is warning that profits for 2013 are likely to be below expectations following a 5.6 per cent slump in Christmas sales.
If fuel is included, the total sales fall was 7.1 per cent.
Morrisons said hard pressed consumers had been economising and managing their budgets very tightly and were shopping across a range of formats and retailers.
The supermarket admitted the Christmas period had been ''...very challenging''. Chief executive Dalton Philips added: ''In a very tough market our sales performance over Christmas was disappointing.''
Morrisons shares slumped by seven per cent this morning after an update described as ''quite awful'' by one City analyst.
Dalton Philips, chief executive, said: "In a very tough market our sales performance over Christmas was disappointing. However, we are firmly focused on driving our core business and accelerating our penetration of the fast growing channels.
"Our convenience business is building towards an operation of scale and the first food deliveries of Morrisons.com will be made tomorrow, reaching half of UK households by the end of the year."
Marks & Spencer, led by former Morrisons boss Marc Bolland, suffered a tenth successive quarterly like-for-like sales decline in its beleaguered homewares and clothing division which slumped by 2.1 per cent.
A 0.5 per cent improvement in the eight weeks to Christmas Eve was not enough to save M&S from the deteriorating overall performance for general merchandise.
Tesco also reported like-for like sales down 2.4 per cent in the six weeks to January 4, blaming the weaker grocery market for its latest decline in UK like-for-like sales, although it said it still took £1 billion in sales in the five days before Christmas, including its biggest ever trading day.
