Tancredo Missing But Well Accounted For
John Gizzi
No sooner had the Southern Republican Leadership Conference ended March 12, than I was flooded with e-mails and calls from irate subscribers: Why, they wanted to know, wasn't Rep. Tom Tancredo (R.-Colo.), by far the most visible opponent of illegal immigration in Congress, included in the straw ballot vote for President or at least invited to speak? Tancredo, who is not popular with the Bush White House, has been increasingly mentioned as a potential presidential candidate or, at the very least, a favorite son from Colorado. The lawmaker himself has done nothing to dissuade supporters who want to enter his name in the '08 presidential
primaries.
So why were George Allen and Mitt Romney there and not Tom Tancredo?
"I just don't go to parties that it turns out [I'm] not invited to," Tancredo told me at the National Press Club March 16. "I have lots of friends who wished I had been there." The Centennial State lawmaker also noted, of the speakers at the Memphis event, that "every single one talked about illegal immigration."
"Politics" correspondent Patrick Casey contacted the Tennessee Republican Party, which organized the SRLC, about why Tancredo was not invited. Spokesman Kevin Devaney replied that the state party "did not feel Congressman Tancredo met the criteria they based their selections on" — although he quickly added that they "appreciate what Congressman Tancredo is doing and especially respect his leadership on immigration."
The Tennessee GOP, he told Casey, "wanted to concentrate on the putative front-runners for the '08 presidential election [and] leaders of Congress." He also insisted that Tancredo "did not call and had no one contact them about the SRLC." Pressed by Casey as to whether that would have made a difference, the spokesman finally said "No" and explained that the party concluded Tancredo did "not have the political stature to deserve a spot on their straw ballot and does not merit special preference either — not being from the South."
However, two fellow Westerners — Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger of California and Bill Owens of Tancredo's own Colorado — were also asked to address the gathering. All told, 68 Republican politicians were invited to Memphis.

Oscar and Emmy winner Anna Paquin has been cast as the daughter of Robert De Niro's hitman character in Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman," an individual with knowledge of the project tells TheWrap.
Paquin joins an all-star cast in the Netflix Original that includes Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Harvey Keitel, Bobby Cannavale, Joe Pesci and Ray Romano.
See Anna Paquin's latest POWER MOVE.
Brandt's book follows revelations from Frank "the Irishman" Sheeran about the 1975 disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, the killing of Joey Gallo, and J.F.K's assassination.
A professional mobster and hitman, Sheeran claims to have killed and dismembered Hoffa, with the title of the book referring to Hoffa's quote to him: "I heard you paint houses " — mob talk meaning to kill a man, as a house's walls are then covered with blood.
Production is underway in New York, and the film is expected to get an Oscar-qualifying theatrical release.
Paquin is represented by WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

Gbedu, qui signifie littéralement « grand tambour » est un instrument de percussion traditionnellement utilisé dans la musique cérémoniale yoruba au Nigeria et au Bénin. Plus récemment, le mot a été utilisé pour décrire des formes de musique afrobeat et hip-hop nigériane.

Tradition
Le tambour gbedu est traditionnellement utilisé lors d'occasions officielles ou pendant les cérémonies de l', l'ancienne société secrète yoruba. L'ogido/gbedu est l'une des quatre grandes familles de tambours yoruba ; les autres familles sont le dundun/gangan ou tambour parlant, le tambour batá et le . Chaque famille comprend des tambours de différentes tailles, le tambour mère (iya ilu) jouant le rôle principal et les autres tambours jouant en soutien. Les tambours de soutien gbedu sont chacun joués par un batteur utilisant à la fois sa paume ouverte et un bâton.

On dit que le tambour gbedu a été apporté dans la région de Lagos au  par des diplomates edos, symbolisant l'hégémonie du royaume du Bénin. Chez les Yoruba, le tambour gbedu est synonyme de royauté. Le plus grand des tambours yoruba, il n'était joué qu'au service du roi. Lors de cérémonies telles que le rite d'Isagun, l' pouvait danser au son du tambour. Si quelqu'un d'autre utilisait le tambour, il était arrêté pour sédition.

Dans les premiers temps, on considérait que le grand tambour sculpté avait un esprit protecteur, celui de l'esclave qui était sacrifié lorsqu'il était fabriqué. Le tambour est couvert de sculptures représentant des animaux, des oiseaux et le phallus. Lorsque des sacrifices étaient effectués lors de cérémonies où le tambour était utilisé, une partie du sang était aspergée sur les sculptures, ainsi que du vin de palme, des jaunes d'œufs et des plumes de poulets sacrifiés. La face sculptée de l'iya ilu pouvait inclure une image d'Olokun, déesse de la mer, considérée comme le « visage du culte ».

On raconte que durant les derniers jours du royaume d'Oyo, lorsque les Foulanis avaient capturé Ilorin et étaient devenus maîtres d'Oyo, Sita, roi d'Ilorin, demanda au , , de lui rendre visite et de lui rendre hommage. Oluewu faisait battre le tambour Gbedu devant lui pendant son voyage. Lorsque Sita s'est enquis du tambour et qu'on lui a répondu qu'il n'était joué qu'en présence d'un roi, il s'est mis en colère, disant qu'il ne pouvait y avoir qu'un seul roi, lui-même, et a ordonné que le tambour Gbedu soit emporté.

Un vieux proverbe yoruba dit que . L'implication est qu'une personne sera capable de veiller à ses propres intérêts de son vivant. Un autre proverbe dit , ce qui signifie que tous les matériaux ne peuvent servir à tous les usages.  est un avertissement pour ne pas tenter l'impossible.

Utilisation moderne
Dans le Nigeria moderne, le gbedu et ses proches continuent d'être utilisés, mais le mot a pris de nouvelles significations. L'artiste Fela Kuti a inclus le tambour traditionnel gbedu dans son ensemble, avec un percussionniste martelant un rythme tonitruant à partir d'un tambour de huit pieds couché sur le côté. Les ensembles afrobeat incluent souvent l'Akuba, un ensemble de trois petits congas yoruba joués avec des bâtons et apparentés au gbedu. Le musicien afrobeat  utilise le terme « afro gbedu » pour décrire son style de musique, qui comprend du jazz, du highlife, du jùjú, du funk et de la musique traditionnelle yoruba. Dele Sosimi, qui a joué avec Fela Kuti dans les années 1980, a ensuite formé un groupe afrobeat appelé Gbedu Resurrection. Le mot « gbedu » a été utilisé plus récemment pour décrire la musique hip-hop nigériane.

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Durham man pleaded guilty Tuesday in connection to a crash that killed a 24-year-old Durham County Sheriff's Office detention center officer last August.
Tomaris Parker didn't show much emotion as he pleaded guilty to robbery with a dangerous weapon and second-degree murder in the death of 24-year-old Brooke Lyn Maynard.
Last summer, Parker stole a car and led police on a high-speed chase -- which lasted for more than ten minutes and reached speeds of up to 75 miles per hour on city streets of Durham. Police even pursued the stolen car driving the wrong way on Ramseur Street nearly halfway around the downtown loop.
During the chase, Parker "T-boned" Maynard's Hyundai Sonata, killing her.
According to search warrants, Parker admitted to using crack and drinking alcohol before the crash.
The passenger of the stolen vehicle, Deshon Carrington, was charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle.

Q: Redirect Compiz Effects? So I use regular Unity and I like the panel and the dash but what I don't like is the launcher. I prefer to use Docky with the Magic Lamp effect from Compiz. The problem is when I minimise things, the animation goes to the icon in the launcher which I have set to autohide and the icon peeks out from the side for the animation. It's really annoying. Is there anyway I can stop this or possibly remove the launcher while keeping the Unity Panel and the Dash? Thanks

A: It is not possible to do this really, as the Compiz animations usually use whatever they find first, and not just what is active. Unfortunately there is no way (currently) to disable the launcher, so you may have to live with it, unless you create a custom session  with Unity 2D's panel. The challenge would be activating the Dash without a launcher.
Maybe you can try Elementary OS's pantheon instead.

A Beginner's Guide to Westeros: Noble Houses, Part 2
The Game of Thrones is now showing on HBO. The production and promotion of this series has been fantastic, but not everyone tuning in may be familiar with the series of books upon which it is based. A Song of Ice and Fire, currently spanning four expansive novels, introduced us to the world of Westeros and provides a plethora of extensive information. Presented here is a bit of that information to help newcomers to this lush and living world get and keep their bearings. All information is presented free of spoilers and describe the circumstances at the beginning of the series…
Westeros is a large expanse of land. Houses large and small make up the population of the Seven Kingdoms. There are a few that distinguish themselves amongst the nobility, and some even play major roles in the politics of King's Landing or the goings-on across the Narrow Sea. Here, in brief, we shall discuss a few of them and their prominent members.
House Frey
Sigil: Two Towers with bridge between
Words: (House Frey has no words)
To quote the news-monster Morbo of Futurama, the Frey family is 'belligerent and numerous'. Founded a mere 600 years ago and ceded the land on the Trident to realize the first Frey lord's vision of a bridge between the banks of the mighty river. The bridge is capped with identical castles on either side, called The Twins. By completing the bridge rapidly and exerting tolls from all who cross, the Freys grew quickly in wealth and influence. This meteoric rise caused other houses of the Riverlands to look upon them as upstarts, and they have been treated with disdain ever since.
Currently in control of the Twins and Lord of the Crossing is Walder Frey, an aging but no less vivacious man who delights in his series of young wives and the control he holds over the bridge. He is ambitious and cruel, eager to take advantage of the Great House's need for his bridge, and according to his overlord, Hoster Tully, is disinclined to take oaths seriously.
House Hightower
Sigil: Tower topped with Flame
Words: We Light The Way
Oldtown is perhaps the largest and most wealthy city in all of Westeros. While King's Landing has become more prominent, Oldtown has maintained its grandeur and ships from all over the world still crowd its harbor. It is home to the maesters' Citadel and until the construction of the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing was the seat of the Faith of the Seven. The tallest structure in the Seven Kingdoms is the 800-foot-tall Hightower, from which the ruling House of Oldtown takes its name.
Lord Leyton Hightower has not left his namesake for over a decade. His uncle Gerold served as Lord Commander of Mad King Aerys' Kingsguard. His son, Baelor, is perhaps the most prominent member of the family still seen, known as 'Brightsmile' for his handsome demeanor. Despite his reclusiveness, Leyton's family remains influential in the Seven Kingdoms.
Sigil: Sun and Spear
Words: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken
Very much a people apart from the other Kingdoms, the inhabitants of Dorne maintain their old traditions, born of the sands in which they grew strong. The Martells were not conquered by the Targaryens, but joined the Seven Kingdoms through marriage and diplomacy instead. Since then, the Martells have ruled Dorne on behalf of the King on the Iron Throne, but style their leaders Princes instead of Kings and value daughters as highly as sons.
Prince Doran Martell, aging badly and affected by gout, rules Dorne from Sunspear. His sister Elia was married to Rhaegar Targaryen and slain by Gregor Clegane, along with her small children, during the Sack of King's Landing. While Prince Doran bides his time and nurses this deep wound, his hot-headed brother Oberyn has a lesser measure of patience.
House Tyrell
Sigil: Golden rose
Words: Growing Strong
When House Gardener fell to Aegon the Conqueror, the Tyrells surrendered Highgarden to their new lord. In return, they were named Lords of the Reach and Wardens of the South. As such, they were given fertile lands and oversight of Oldtown, but were also charged with defending their lands against Dorne, who occasionally skirmished with the people of the grasslands. Even in times of peace, the lord of Highgarden is often Defender of the Marches as well as Warden of the South.
Those titles are currently held by Mace Tyrell, a lord charitably described as 'somewhat tedious'. Other members of his house are more exemplary of its virtues and the cause for the jealousy of others, from Loras Tyrell, the famous Knight of Flowers, to beautiful Margaery Tyrell, an intelligent and shrewd young lady betrothed to Renly Baratheon.

I have tried this: ^[0-9]+(\,[0-9][0-9])
Update 1

*

*Number format #.###,##

*Could contain some text after the number

A: You aren't accounting for the thousands separator at all in your regex...
^[0-9]{0,3}(?:\.[0-9]{3})*,[0-9]{2}(?![0-9])

regex101 demo
If you don't want to accept ,42 either, use:
^[0-9]{1,3}(?:\.[0-9]{3})*,[0-9]{2}(?![0-9])

regex101 demo
(?:\.[0-9]{3})* allows for the thousands.
The comma doesn't need to be escaped, and (?![0-9]) (a negative lookahead) is to prevent the number from being followed by more numbers.

A: Try this regular expression:
^\-?\d{1,3}(\.\d\d\d)*(,\d+)?

Broken out:
^           # drop anchor at the start of the line. Then...
\-?         # match an optional negative sign, followed by...
\d{1,3}     # match 1-3 decimal digits, followed by...
(           # a group, consisting of
  \.        # * a thousands separator, followed by
  \d\d\d    # * 3 decimal digits
)*          # with the group repeated zero or more times, followed by...
(           # a group, consisting of
  ,         # * a decimal point, followed by
  \d+       # * 1 or more decimal digits
)?          # with the group being optional

You should note that the thousands separator and decimal point are culture-specific. Further, not all cultures clump digits in groups of 3.
To make this portable across cultures, you'll need to instantiate a suitable System.Globalization.CultureInfo, drill down to its NumberFormatInfo property and build the regular expression on the fly using the culture's rules for how numbers are composed.

A: I am not exactly sure what format you are looking for, but it sounds like you could use the repeat qualifiers in RegEx like ^[0-9]+(,[0-9]{2})  I think the problem in your expression is you are escaping the comma which is not a regex special character.
Here is a good reference on RegEx: http://www.regular-expressions.info/repeat.html

Q: JQuery question on mouseup event I have list and the elements of the list can be selected (one at a time, or more with the help of Ctrl key) by mousedown event. I'd like to deselect the selected elements by mouseup on anywhere in document but these list elements.
I tried this but doesn't work:
$("body").delegate("body:not(.selected_li)", "mouseup", function(event) { .......

When I click anywhere on the document (but the selected li) the mouseup event dosen't take place.
Please, help me.
Thank you.

A: You will want to bind your event listener to the body, and examine the clicked element to see if it is a .selected_li, or one of its descendants:
$('body').mouseup(function(e) {
    if ($(e.target).closest('.selected_li').length == 0) {
        // de-select
    }
});

The real trick here is using .closest(".selected_li") because it makes sure to include instances where you are over a child of a ".selected_li".
Using .is(".selected_li") won't work if your list happens to look anything like this:

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

If you release your mouse button while over Item 2, event.target will be the  element, not the
, so .is(".selected_li") will return false.  So we must see if the event target or any of its ancestors are ".selected_li" by searching using .closest() and checking to see if we got a match.
Edit:  Using .delegate() here is not a great idea.  That will bind an event handler to every descendant element of , which is very redundant, since the event will always bubble up to  anyway and you only need to do it once.  However, it is possible, but you need to make sure to exclude enough - you'll need to exclude ".selected_li" and all of its descendants, and all of its anscestors:
$("body").delegate(":not(.selected_li, .selected_li *, :has(.selected_li))", "mouseup", function(e) {
    // de-select
});

But, this will lead to the event handler being called multiple times per click.  If you release the mouse button while over the following paragraph, you'll execute your event handler 5 times.  Once for each of ,
,
,
,
.

Here is a paragraph

So, just bind once to body so that the event handler is called only once per click.

A: This should do what you need..
$('body').mouseup(function(e){
   if ( !$(e.target).is('.selected_li') ) {
     // do the de-selection here..
   }
});

Demo at http://jsfiddle.net/gaby/kw7v5/4/

A: You can't delegate to the body from the body. body is your root element, so I think what you want is something like:
$("body").delegate("li:not(.selected_li)", "mouseup", function(event) {
  /* */
});

See http://api.jquery.com/delegate

A: Try this
http://jsfiddle.net/kw7v5/
Just substitute your classes for the ul and li.


A top executive at the Bermuda Tourism Authority is to leave after five years in the job.
Pat Phillip-Fairn, the chief product and experiences development officer, will step down in April for family reasons.
Ms Phillip-Fairn said: "I feel like I'm leaving a family at work.
"The only way to successfully complete the difficult, important work in tourism is to do it with a group of people who are passionate, committed and working cohesively.
"Bermuda's tourism industry benefits from those people, inside and outside of the BTA.
A BTA spokesman said the organisation had started the recruitment process to fill the post, which it previously reported carries an annual salary of between $175,000 and $275,000.
Kevin Dallas, the BTA chief executive, added: "While I'm sad to have a valued leader in our organisation depart, pride is what I feel most when I look back at the enormous accomplishments of Pat and her team over the past five years.
Erica Smith, the Bermuda Economic Development Corporation executive director, said: "Pat and I have worked closely together over the last few years in growing tourism entrepreneurship in Bermuda.
"She has been a fierce advocate for highlighting and developing Bermuda's entrepreneurial talent and offerings in the tourism sector, while growing the product and experiences remit by leaps and bounds.
Ms Phillip-Fairn joined the BTA in April 14, 2014 after serving as the deputy director of corporate governance and communications at the Bermuda Monetary Authority.
In the post, she worked with other organisations to build on the success of the Bermuda Heroes Weekend Carnival, the Bermuda Festival of the Performing Arts, the Bermuda Street Food Festival and the Peppercorn Ceremony.
She also worked to build Bermuda as a sports tourism destination.
She promoted existing events such as the Newport Bermuda Race and worked to launch new ones such as the Antigua Bermuda race.
The BTA spokeswoman said Ms Phillip-Fairn was part of the successful bid to host the ITU World Triathlon.

Bristol Ten-seater Aircraft Information
Bristol Ten-seater
Ten seater/Brandon
Manufacturer: Bristol Aeroplane Company
Designed by: Frank Barnwell
First flight: 21 June 1921
The Bristol Ten-seater and Bristol Brandon were British single-engine biplane transport aircraft built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in the early 1920s. Only three were built, two of which were used as civil transports and one of which (the Bristol Brandon) served with the Royal Air Force.
In 1919 and 1920, Frank Barnwell, chief designer of the Bristol Aeroplane Company, considered designs for a commercial transport aircraft, ranging from single-engine, three-seat aircraft to four-engine aircraft carrying 10 passengers, none of which were built. Early in 1921, the British government decided to provide subsidies for approved airlines, so Bristol's management authorised Barnwell to proceed with a design for a single-engined transport aircraft. It was intended to be powered by a Bristol Jupiter engine, but this had not yet been type approved, so the initial prototype was fitted with a Napier Lion engine instead.
The Lion-engined prototype, the Bristol Type 62, or Bristol Ten-seater, with the registration G-EAWY first flew on 21 June 1921. The Ten-seater was a large, two bay biplane, with a cabin for nine passengers and a forward cockpit for the single pilot.
The second aircraft, the Bristol Type 75 was powered by the preferred Jupiter engine, which was mounted behind a fireproof bulkhead, with the entire engine installation (or "power egg") capable of being swung open like a gate to allow easy access to the rear of the engine. The Type 75 was designed to accommodate eight passengers and two crew. This aircraft, registered G-EBEV, first flew in July 1922. A third aircraft, the Bristol Type 79 was ordered by the Air Council to be equipped as a troop-carrier and air ambulance for the Royal Air Force. It was fitted with wings of greater chord, and had accommodation for three stretchers and an attendant or two stretchers and four sitting patients.
Operational history
The Type 62 had its Certificate of Airworthiness awarded on 14 February 1922 and was transferred to Instone Air Line for service on its London to Paris route, carrying both passengers and cargo. It was later transferred to Handley Page Transport Ltd.
The Type 75 received its Certificate of Airworthiness on 16 July 1924. By this time, Instone Air Lines had merged with the other three subsidised British airlines to form Imperial Airways. Imperial had a policy of using only multi-engine aircraft for passenger flights, so the Type 75 was converted into a freighter to carry 1,800 lb (820 kg) of cargo, going into service on the London - Cologne route on 22 July 1924, continuing in service until 1926. A second Type 75 was not completed, and was broken up for spares in 1923.
The Type 79 first flew on 19 March 1924 and was delivered to the RAF, who named the aircraft the Bristol Brandon in 1925. It was overweight at full load and did not go into overseas service, being used as an ambulance at RAF Halton together with the Avro Andover.
Bristol Type 62 First aircraft, powered by 450 hp (340 kW) Napier Lion engine. Bristol Type 75 Second aircraft, powered by 425 hp ( kW) Bristol Jupiter IV engine. Bristol Type 79 Third aircraft built as a military transport and air ambulance aircraft for the RAF. Powered by Bristol Jupiter IV engine.

The release of Entity Framework Feature CTP4 was recently announced and included some walkthroughs touching on the core functionality included in the CTP. Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to post up a series of short articles that cover some of the finer points in the CTP.
The CTP includes some work called the Productivity Improvements for EF which aims to provide a simpler and more productive experience writing data access code with EF. Along with a bunch of conventions that take care of a lot of common tasks the Productivity Improvements also include some more subtle improvements over the core EF API. One of these is the introduction of an Include method that uses a lambda rather than strings to specify the include path.
Include is a method we use in queries to specify that we should load related entities as well as the main type we are querying for, i.e. I want to query for a Blog but I want to bring all the Comments back into memory at the same time.
The main complaints with this are the lack of intellisense, lack of compile time checking and that using refactoring in Visual Studio to rename the Blog.Posts property won't update the string. Include was also an instance method on ObjectSet<T> so it had to be the first call when chaining query methods and wasn't available if you're set was typed as IObjectSet or IQueryable.
CTP4 includes a version of Include that accepts a lambda to specify the property to include. Note that this version of Include is an extension method so you will need to add a using for the System.Data.Entity namespace.
Obviously not all implementations of IQueryable support Include, the implementation in CTP4 is EF specific and supports ObjectSet<T>, ObjectQuery<T> and DbSet<T> based queries. If the underlying implementation of IQueryable is something else then the extension method checks for a string based Include method to call, if there isn't one then it is effectively a no-op.
EF Feature CTP4 includes a new Include extension method in the System.Data.Entity namespace that allows you to specify include paths with a lambda. The Include extension method works with the new DbSet<T> along with existing ObjectSet<T> and ObjectQuery<T> types. This approach to specifying includes gives a better intellisense experience along with property name refactoring in Visual Studio and compile time checking of the include path.


It is said that Ioannis Kapodistrias thought up a plan to overcome the Greek people's reluctance to try the new product; he locked up the potatoes, then called "geomila" (i.e. "apples of the earth") into warehouses, which he deliberately left unguarded at night, so that people could easily break into them and loot the potatoes, considering them precious enough to need locking up. And it is there, in the very heart of Nafplio, that you may taste the most amazing tidbits of the brand new tavern "Geomilo": stews, roasts, seafood, fine wine, tsipouro and ouzo. Need more? Come to "Geomilo"!

Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) is an eight-week program designed to develop the qualities of compassion, empathy, and kindness for oneself and for others. CCT integrates traditional contemplative practices with contemporary psychology and scientific research on compassion. The program was developed at the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, at Stanford University by a team of contemplative scholars, clinical psychologists, and researchers.
The process of cultivating compassion involves training our own minds, developing specific skills in how we relate to others, and ourselves and intentionally choosing compassionate thoughts and actions.
CCT is designed to support anyone who wants to cultivate compassion for themselves and for others. This includes sustainability professionals, environmental and social justice activists, parents, educators, healthcare professionals, therapists, executives, public servants, and people in a wide range of professions and life contexts. No previous meditation experience is required.

All Liam Neeson Movies Ranked by Tomatometer
After a major film debut with 1981's Excalibur, Liam Neeson spent the rest of that swingin' decade slowly climbing the acting ladder. (See him randomly in Krull, The Mission, The Dead Pool, and more, for example.) But after holding his own opposite Patrick Swayze in 1989's Next of Kin, Neeson was at last upgraded to star for Sam Raimi's dark superhero movie Darkman…where he spends most of the movie disfigured and fully covered in bandages. Still, Darkman was a financial success, especially for an original superhero IP in this era, and Neeson carried on with lending his baritone gravitas in dramas like the Certified Fresh Husbands and Wives.
In 1994, Neeson nabbed his only Oscar acting nomination with the monumental Schindler's List, which would go on to win Best Picture for producer Steven Spielberg, who of course also got Best Director. Neeson took on another significant title historical role a few years later with Michael Collins, before entering the pop cultural fray as the decidedly unhistorical (though we suppose it depends on who you ask) Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace. And after that, just into the 21st century, Neeson appeared in Gangs of New York, Kingdom of Heaven, and Batman Begins. A resume that includes working with Raimi, Spielberg, Allen, Lucas, Scorsese, Scott, and Nolan? Sounds like that'd be a career peak for most…
And yet 2008's Taken was still to come, which would transform Neeson into the go-to mid-budget action guy, create a cottage industry of similar flicks to follow in its wake. Some were pretty good (Cold Pursuit, A Walk Among The Tombstones), others came out decent (The Commuter, Non-Stop), a few were god-awful (Taken 2, Taken 3), and some were one was amazing (The Grey).
We also recently saw Neeson's softer side resurface with Ordinary Love, his first romantic film since 2003's Love Actually and one of the best-reviewed films of his career, proving he remains as versatile as ever. To celebrate his birthday, we take a look back on all Liam Neeson movies ranked by Tomatometer!

Starring: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen, Rade Serbedzija
Men in Black: International (2019)

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Kumail Nanjiani, Rebecca Ferguson
Directed By: F. Gary Gray

Directed By: Simon Moore

Starring: Christina Ricci, Liam Neeson, Justin Long, Josh Charles
Directed By: Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo

Starring: Liam Neeson, Adrien Brody, Olivia Wilde, James Franco
Directed By: Paul Haggis

Starring: Liam Neeson, Oliver Platt, Sandra Bullock, Jose Zuniga
Directed By: Eric Blakeney
Wrath of the Titans (2012)
Critics Consensus: Its 3D effects are an improvement over its predecessor's, but in nearly every other respect, Wrath of the Titans fails to improve upon the stilted acting, wooden dialogue, and chaos-driven plot of the franchise's first installment.
Synopsis: Ten years after defeating the Kraken, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is living a quieter life as a fisherman and sole parent... [More]
Starring: Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Edgar Ramírez
Directed By: Jonathan Liebesman
Clash of the Titans (2010)
Critics Consensus: An obviously affectionate remake of the 1981 original, Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans doesn't offer enough visual thrills to offset the deficiencies of its script.
Synopsis: Perseus (Sam Worthington), the son of Zeus (Liam Neeson), is caught in a war between gods and is helpless to... [More]
Starring: Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Flemyng

Starring: Ken Marshall, Lysette Anthony, Freddie Jones, Francesca Annis
Directed By: Peter Yates
A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)
Critics Consensus: While it offers a few laughs and boasts a talented cast, Seth MacFarlane's overlong, aimless A Million Ways to Die in the West is a disappointingly scattershot affair.
Synopsis: Mild-mannered sheep farmer Albert Stark (Seth MacFarlane) feels certain that the Western frontier is trying to kill him, then he... [More]
Starring: Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Liam Neeson
Directed By: Seth MacFarlane
Critics Consensus: It may offer energetic escapism for less demanding filmgoers, but Battleship is too loud, poorly written, and formulaic to justify its expense -- and a lot less fun than its source material.
Synopsis: Lt. Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch) is a weapons officer aboard the destroyer USS John Paul Jones, while his older brother,... [More]
Starring: Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker
Directed By: Peter Berg
Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House (2017)
Critics Consensus: Mark Felt may dramatize the man behind Deep Throat, but its stodgy treatment of history offers little insight into the famous whistleblower.
Synopsis: Lifelong G-Man Mark Felt, aka "Deep Throat," leaks information to the press that helps to uncover the Watergate scandal of... [More]
Starring: Liam Neeson, Diane Lane, Marton Csokas, Ike Barinholtz
Directed By: Peter Landesman
Critics Consensus: The Marksman benefits from having Liam Neeson in the lead, but this formulaic action thriller should have aimed higher.
Synopsis: Hardened Arizona rancher Jim Hanson (Liam Neeson) simply wants to be left alone as he fends off eviction notices and... [More]
Starring: Liam Neeson, Jacob Perez, Katheryn Winnick, Juan Pablo Raba
Directed By: Robert Lorenz

Starring: Liam Neeson, Kate Walsh, Robert Patrick, Anthony Ramos
Directed By: Mark Williams
Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
Critics Consensus: Although it's an objective and handsomely presented take on the Crusades, Kingdom of Heaven lacks depth.
Synopsis: Still in grief over his wife's sudden death, village blacksmith Balian (Orlando Bloom) joins his long-estranged father, Baron Godfrey (Liam... [More]
Starring: Orlando Bloom, Eva Green, Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis
Operation Chromite (2016)

Starring: Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson
Directed By: Joe Carnahan

Directed By: Leonard Nimoy
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)
Critics Consensus: Its leisurely, businesslike pace won't win the franchise many new fans, but Voyage of the Dawn Treader restores some of the Narnia franchise's lost luster with strong performances and impressive special effects.

Starring: Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, Ben Barnes, Will Poulter
Directed By: Michael Apted
Critics Consensus: Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks give it their all, but their solid performances aren't quite enough to compensate for The Next Three Days' uneven pace and implausible plot.

Starring: Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Brian Dennehy, Lennie James
Chloe (2009)
Critics Consensus: Despite its promising pedigree and a titillating premise, Chloe ultimately fails to deliver the heat -- or the thrills -- expected of a sexual thriller.

Starring: Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, Max Thieriot
Directed By: Atom Egoyan
Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace (1999)
Critics Consensus: Burdened by exposition and populated with stock characters, The Phantom Menace gets the Star Wars prequels off to a bumpy -- albeit visually dazzling -- start.
Synopsis: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) is a young apprentice Jedi knight under the tutelage of Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) ; Anakin... [More]
Starring: Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Jake Lloyd

Starring: Liam Neeson, Patricia Arquette, Joan Allen, Tate Donovan
Directed By: John Madden
Nell (1994)
Critics Consensus: Despite a committed performance by Jodie Foster, Nell opts for ponderous melodrama instead of engaging with the ethical dilemmas of socializing its titular wild child.

Seraphim Falls (2006)

Starring: Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn
Directed By: Jaume Collet-Serra

Critics Consensus: The Commuter's cast is better than its workmanlike script - which helps make this reasonably diverting Liam Neeson action thriller worth the price of a matinee ticket or rental, if not a full-price ticket.

Starring: Liam Neeson, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Jonathan Banks

The Mission (1986)

Synopsis: Jesuit priest Father Gabriel (Jeremy Irons) enters the Guarani lands in South America with the purpose of converting the natives... [More]
Starring: Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons, Ray McAnally, Liam Neeson

Critics Consensus: A Walk Among the Tombstones doesn't entirely transcend its genre clichés, but it does offer Liam Neeson one of his more compelling roles in recent memory, and that's often enough.

Starring: Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange, John Hurt, Tim Roth

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis, Cameron Diaz, Liam Neeson
Directed By: Martin Scorsese
The Bounty (1984)

Synopsis: Captain Bligh (Anthony Hopkins) struggles to restore discipline among the crew of the HMS Bounty after the ship has an... [More]
Starring: Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Edward Fox
Directed By: Roger Donaldson
Critics Consensus: This intelligent, handsomely crafted adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic novel condenses the story's developments without blunting its emotional impact.

Starring: Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, Uma Thurman, Claire Danes
Directed By: Bille August

The mood episodes of bipolar disorder are defined in DSM-IV by symptomatology; therefore, diagnosis and assessing response to treatment requires symptom monitoring.
The ASRM is a brief, self-rating mania scale compatible with DSM-IV criteria that can be used to measure the presence and severity of manic symptoms for research or clinical purposes.
The SRF-ME form is designed to be completed in the waiting room, prior to the office visit.
The SRF-ME includes self-reported frequency of 13 DSM-IV symptoms of mood elevation and depression which, collected over time, allows for tracking of symptoms in response to treatment.
The Symptom Documentation form lists usual DSM-IV criteria symptoms exhibited with depression and mania/hypomania and 3 domains where impaired function may occur.
Changes in symptomatology and function can be monitored by recording a baseline and evaluating on subsequent visits whether the condition is better, worse or the same.

The predominantly Mediterranean genus Odontites Ludw. (Orobanchaceae; Bennett and Mathews, 2006) comprises ca. 26 species of annual and perennial root hemiparasites (Bolliger, 1996) growing in grasslands, shrublands, and wood edges. It includes weeds (Parker, 2013), as well as species listed on national and regional catalogs of endangered plants (e.g., López Udías and Fábregat Llueca, 2010), registered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List ( http://www.iucnredlist.org/), or with narrow distribution areas (Bolliger, 1996).
The O. vernus (Bellardi) Dumort. group, which includes three species, is the most widespread of the genus, occupying the temperate regions of Eurasia with one population in northern Morocco (Bolliger, 1996). However, phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary patterns within the group remain largely unclear due to a complex interplay between the diploid-tetraploid cytotypic variation and seasonal ecotypes differing in morphology (Koutecký et al., 2012). Odontites vernus sensu lato (s.l.; Rico, 2009) includes diploid and tetraploid individuals. The latter are probably of autopolyploid origin, as no distinct subgenomes were found in the karyotype (Delgado et al., 2015) and morphology is not intermediate between any two known diploid species. However, the hypothesis of an autopolyploid origin has not been addressed using genetic markers. Furthermore, it is not clear whether some levels of gene flow are maintained in locations where diploids and tetraploids co-occur (Snogerup, 1983; Koutecký et al., 2012). Although it is known that O. vernus can self-pollinate (Nilsson and Alves-dos-Santos, 2009), inbreeding rates in populations remain unknown. Therefore, genetic markers are needed to study gene flow patterns and how populations of O. vernus are connected. Furthermore, the transferability of the loci to other species of the genus would bring new information for taxonomic revision of Odontites species and conservation of endemic and/or threatened taxa.
Microsatellite development—Silica gel–dried leaves of two diploid individuals of O. vernus (see Appendix 1 for voucher information) were selected for genomic DNA extraction using Invisorb Spin Plant Mini Kit (Invitek, Berlin, Germany). Ploidy level was checked with a CyFlow flow cytometer (Partec GmbH, Münster, Germany), using 'Woody Plant Buffer' (WPB; Loureiro et al., 2007) and Solanum pseudocapsicum L. as the internal standard (Temsch et al., 2010). DNA extraction was enriched with AC, AG, TGT, and CCT motifs following Nunome et al. (2006). The resulting microsatellite library was sequenced using a 454 GS Junior Sequencer (454 Life Sciences, a Roche Company, Branford, Connecticut, USA). Analyses with QDD software (Meglécz et al., 2010) revealed 4335 sequence reads with microsatellite motifs (from a total of 16,050), and primer pairs were designed for 169 regions. A set of 36 primer pairs with low penalty, different lengths, and containing different repeat motifs was tested. Amplification was evaluated in four diploid and three tetraploid individuals of O. vernus. PCRs were performed in 12.5-µL reactions, which contained 45.5 ng of DNA, 1× PCR buffer (Biotools, Madrid, Spain), 1.5 mM MgCl2 (Biotools), 0.2 mM of each dNTP (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, California, USA), 0.33 mM of each primer (Eurofins, Ebersberg, Germany), and 0.5 unit of DNA Polymerase (Biotools), using the following conditions: an initial step at 94°C for 2 min; followed by 35 cycles of 1 min at 94°C, 1 min at primer-specific annealing temperature, and 50 s at 72°C; and a final extension of 15 min at 72°C. PCR products were visualized on a 2.5% agarose gel.
Characteristics of 14 polymorphic microsatellite loci developed in Odontites vernus.
Results of initial screening of within-population variation in two populations of Odontites vernus.
PCR products were sequenced by Macrogen Europe (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), and the obtained sequences were checked for homology to the expected region. Consistent amplification and levels of polymorphisms were analyzed in gel images. Eighteen loci were selected (see Appendix 2 for discarding reasons) and tested on 140 O. vernus samples using a three-primer PCR protocol (Schuelke, 2000) with the universal primer M13(−21) 5′-TGTAAAACGACGGCCAGT-3′ marked with 5-FAM, VIC, NED, or PET fluorescent dyes (Life Technologies; Table 1). The PCR mix was as described above, except that 0.2 mM of each reverse and fluorescent-labeled M13 primer and 0.08 mM of the forward primer were used. Cycling conditions were also as described above, adding 10 cycles of 1 min at 94°C, 1 min at 53°C, and 50 s at 72°C before the final extension. Pooled PCR products were run on an ABI 3730 Capillary Sequencer (Life Technologies) using GeneScan 500 LIZ Size Standard (Life Technologies). Electropherograms were analyzed with GeneMarker AFLP/Genotyping Software version 1.8 (SoftGenetics, State College, Pennsylvania, USA). Three loci were discarded due to genotyping difficulties, and an additional one was monomorphic. Because lengths of some alleles differed from expected sizes, alleles found in homozygous individuals were sequenced to verify indel presence and/or imperfect microsatellite motifs. Indel presence was confirmed in all but three loci (Ov-19, Ov-21, and Ov-35), and imperfect microsatellite motifs were confirmed in two loci (Ov-5 and Ov-25). Additionally, denaturation temperature (Td) was reduced to 83°C to test if lower Td improved genotyping (Olejniczak and Krzyzosiak, 2006). Of the remaining 14 loci, Td = 83 produced better results for two loci, in two cases there were no differences, and in 10 loci there was reduced scorability, contrary to expectations.
Population genetic parameters in two populations of Odontites vernus—Two populations were selected to obtain population genetic parameters that could be illustrative of performance in two different situations. In one population (Tejada), all sampled individuals were diploids, but in the other one (San Miguel del Arroyo [SMA]) 32 were diploids and 36 were tetraploids. The number of alleles per locus, observed and expected heterozygosity, significance of deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE; Table 2), and test for linkage disequilibrium between markers were estimated using Arlequin version 3.5.1.2 (Excoffier and Lischer, 2010). To perform those analyses, allele sizes were not transformed into number of repeats, and exact allele dosage was not estimated in tetraploids. In SMA, these parameters were calculated only for diploids. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 13 in the complete data set (Table 1), but varied from one to five in the two selected populations (Table 2). Four loci were monomorphic in both populations, and four to six were polymorphic in the studied populations. Significant deviation from HWE (P < 0.05) was found in all loci probably due to inbreeding, as recorded in the closely related genus Euphrasia L. (French et al., 2003). Linkage disequilibrium was significant after Bonferroni correction in all pairwise comparisons, except those involving allele Ov-19 and the pair Ov-10/Ov-15. Regarding alleles related to ploidy levels, almost all alleles in every locus are shared between ploidy levels overall. But in the SMA samples, there are six loci (Ov-5, Ov-19, Ov-21, Ov-28, Ov-30, Ov-33) that differentiate ploidies unequivocally.
Cross-amplification in other Odontites species and related genera—The 18 selected loci were tested in 19 Odontites taxa and 11 other taxa from eight related genera using the PCR conditions described above. Fragment separation results (Table 3) were promising in closely related species (O. corsicus (Loisel.) G. Don, O. hollianus (Lowe) Benth., O. luteus (L.) Clairv., O. kaliformis (Pourr. ex Willd.) Pau, and O. recordonii Burnat & Barbey) because they amplify in 13 to 17 loci, and sometimes showed more than one allele, despite a small sample size (n = 4). Furthermore, good results were obtained for several other taxa-locus combinations. Development of species-specific PCR protocols could improve these results, especially in some other Odontites species (i.e., O. bolligeri E. Rico, L. Delgado & Herrero, O. pyrenaeus (Bubani) Rothm., and O. cebennensis H. J. Coste & Soulié).
A set of polymorphic microsatellite markers for O. vernus is reported for the first time. Successful results for these loci in the cross-amplification tests extend their potential usefulness to other closely related taxa. These markers will be useful for investigating genetic diversity in threatened species, self-pollination rates, origin and evolution of polyploidy, and ecotypic variation and local adaptation in populations.

In the whole of USA, there are different rules that govern hunting in order to conserve the wildlife. The following are some of the latest hunting laws in the USA.
Inspect all the hunting equipment that the hunter possesses, including the vehicle or container that is used to conceal any wildlife resource.
It is against the law (C class misdemeanor) to hunt a game bird or animal, and fail to include it in a seasonal or daily bag limit.
Also it is declared to be an offense when you intentionally have a game; a bird, fish, or animal, and you do not store or keep the edible portion in a fit to be eaten condition.
It is considered a class A misdemeanor to neglect keeping the edible part in an edible condition of a deer, mule deer, antelope, or desert bighorn sheep.
It is against the law to chase or pursue a wounded game in someone's property, unless with a permission from the owner. Such is considered as trespass in the law of the US, and the end result is being arrested.
To go fishing on private waters, or do fishing on public waters while standing on a private land without asking permission.
To hunt in areas that are restricted, or hunt a game in large numbers, or at a time that is not allowed.
Hunt using a firearm across or on a road that is considered to be public.
Visit this page to check out a great hunting gear that you should have!


Last night I finally finished my Return To The Sea sampler. It's all backed in a co-ordinating fabric and has a little hook sewn into the top so it can hang in our bedroom. I really enjoyed sewing this and have 2 more of Tanya's charts on the literary theme.
Now I'm catching up on my Christmas SAL, I want to make the Karate Dog by Margaret Sherry in this months Cross Stitcher magazine for our eldest Peter, grid my monopoly project and that's not counting my Darcy photostitch. DH is off work next week so hopefully I can manage to get an hour during each day to stitch without any children.
Wonderful job on Return to the Sea!
Jo that is so lovely I think I may just have to order that one. I am intrigued by Mr Darcy .
Jo, I love that sentiment and the piece and you've stitched it beautifully. I think my next stop will be at Sampler girl's website.

Court Basics
About Military Courts
Veterans' Courts in Arizona
Veterans' Courts in Arizona - What They Are, How They Work, and Who Qualifies
What is Veterans' Court?
Veterans' Court is a specialty program that exists in some courthouses in Arizona. The goal of Veterans' Court is to help former service members become active, contributing members of their community. This program brings together legal counsel, court staff, the Department of Veteran Affairs, and other support organizations to help veteran's facing a criminal legal issue.
Who is Veterans' Court for?
The Veterans' Court program is for those currently in, or entering, the criminal justice system. Those involved in the program often have issues as the result of:
Depending on the issue the veteran is facing, the veteran's support team works to create and supervise a specialized treatment plan. These treatment plans are designed to address the underlying causes of the veteran's behavior and substance abuse issues.
Who is eligible for Veterans' Court?
Unfortunately, not every veteran is eligible for Veterans' Court. Veterans that have cases in a courthouse without a Veterans' Court will not be able to participate in the treatment program.
Each Veterans' Court is operated differently depending on the community, presiding judge, and support staff. This program is voluntary and the veteran must ask to be placed in the program. Once a veteran requests to be in the program, the prosecutor, defense attorney, and judge may consider the following:
The criminal charge that the veteran is facing
The veteran's legal history
Plea agreements that may exist
Recommendations from Adult Probation Departments
The veteran being willing to fully participate in the program
How can a veteran remain eligible for a Veterans' Court program?
For the veteran to remain eligible, they have to actively participate and work towards making progress in the treatment program that is developed for them by the court. There may be certain requirements that the veteran has to agree to and cannot violate to remain in the program. If the veteran does not follow the rules or requirements they may be thrown out of the program and returned to the regular judicial process.
What is the process for Arizona Veterans' Courts?
The prosecutor and the defense counsel evaluate each case and must agree that the case is appropriate for Veterans Court. The case is then presented to the Judge for final approval.
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Justice Outreach specialist then verifies the veterans eligibility for veteran's benefits and conducts an initial assessment of the veteran's treatment requirements. The veteran, if eligible for VA benefits, is then directed to the local VA medical facility for a more in-depth assessment.
It is from this assessment a treatment plan is agreed on for presentation to the Judge. Upon approval of the plan by the Judge, the veteran begins the treatment programs called for in the plan.
Progress in the treatment program is closely monitored by the Court. Non-compliance with the treatment program can lead to penalties which may include incarceration, community service, and reprimand by the Judge. In cases of continuous non-compliance, a veteran may be removed from Veterans' Court. The favorable terms of any plea agreement may revoked and a sentence given.
What happens to veterans who complete their program successfully?
Upon successful completion of a Veterans' Court program, diversion eligible veterans may have their case dismissed. Veterans on probation may have their probation successfully terminated.
Veterans in Veterans' Court can expect to be subjected to more frequent reviews by the court to monitor the veteran's progress in their treatment programs.
Veterans making satisfactory progress may be recognized by the Court and offered words of encouragement.
Veterans not making satisfactory progress may expect words of encouragement of an entirely different nature and additional penalties may be given.
Successful completion of the Veterans Court program will be marked by "graduation" from the program.
