DIY Secret Entrance Door

Ever want a secret room or a hidden doorway as a kid? Who didn’t, right? Now you can build your own like this motorized secret entrance which was the centerpiece of a costume theme party for Halloween.





The trick is to design a sturdy structure and complement it with effects so that it gives the impression of a real room. Insulation tape, foam board, soft lighting, and a faux paintjob complete the effect. A 12 volt motor moves salvaged wheelchair wheels opens the door slowly. The motorized unit is installed on the door frame and a double pole, double throw (DPDT) switch on the outside to open and close the door.

Denuncia Chávez magnicidio en su contra

Caracas, Venezuela.- Hugo Chávez, presidente de Venezuela, denunció hoy que grupos de la oposición de derecha, incluido el prófugo empresario Guillermo Zuloaga, realizan una colecta de dinero con el objetivo de financiar una conspiración para asesinarlo.

Durante la inauguración este sábado de la Feria Navideña Socialista El hallacazo, Chávez dijo que los opositores tienen ya 100 millones de dólares para dárselos al que logre asesinarlo, según fuentes fidedignas.

El líder venezolano resaltó que uno de los principales cabecillas del movimiento es el dueño de un canal de televisión que transmite en el país, haciendo alusión a Zuloaga, accionista mayoritario del canal privado de noticias Globovisión, y quien se hubiera reunido en días recientes con congresistas de Estados Unidos para hablar en contra de su país y de Chávez.

Zuloaga se encuentra prófugo de la justicia local; está acusado de los delitos de usura y de asociación delictuosa, por lo que ha sido comparado por Chávez con narcotraficantes y criminales.

El mandatario consideró que Estados Unidos debería dejar que los órganos venezolanos correspondientes revisen las acciones en contra de Zuloaga, en estricto apego a sus convicciones constitucionales.

Music Box Laptop



This may look like a Victorian music box, but inside this intricately hand-crafted wooden case lives a Hewlett-Packard ZT1000 laptop that runs both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux. It features an elaborate display of clockworks under glass, engraved brass accents, claw feet, an antiqued copper keyboard and mouse, leather wrist pads, and customized wireless network card. The machine turns on with an antique clock-winding key by way of a custom-built ratcheting switch made from old clock parts.

The violin-style sound holes, or "F-holes" are functional speaker grills covered with black cloth. For a little added redundancy, the original power switch is accessible through the speaker fabric. If you need to do a hard reboot, you can take a pen or pencil and press down on the fabric in the dead-center of the leftmost lobe of the f-hole to contact the button. The original keyboard LEDs now shine through small plastic gems.

#gastronomia : Tangy Apricot Frozen Yogurt


Tangy Apricot Frozen Yogurt

I found some fresh apricots in the grocery store and snatched them up. After leaving the grocery store, I realized that I forgot the ice cream and in this heat we are all screaming for ice cream. I pretty much always have vanilla yogurt in the fridge so I thought I would attempt to make frozen yogurt with my apricots. The natural tang from the apricots mixed with the yogurt made for a pretty tangy dessert, but my kids LOVED it. Any fruit would be great in this recipe with the sugar adjusted to the sweetness of the fruit. I can’t wait to try strawberries and if only I had some blackberries. A refreshing treat to cool you down, it doesn’t get any easier than this!

Tangy Apricot Frozen Yogurt

Ingredients:

8 fresh apricots, peeled, halved and seed removed

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

2 1/2 cups vanilla yogurt

Directions:

Add apricots, sugar and lemon juice into a food processor or blender. Process until smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Add yogurt and process until all is combined, about 30 seconds. Pour into ice cream freezer and follow directions. Serve immediately or store in covered container until ready to serve.

#Dilma tinha código que levava às armas da guerrilha

Steffen Schmidt/Efe



Foi às páginas da Folha, neste sábado (20), a primeira notícia extraída do processo aberto pela ditadura contra Dilma Rousseff na década de 70.



Os documentos estavam trancados num cofre do STM (Superior Tribunal Militar).



Por dez votos contra um, os ministros do tribunal reconheceram o direito do jornal de ter acesso aos papéis.



Depois de manusear um primeiro lote de cópias, os repórteres Matheus Leitão e Lucaz Ferraz informam o seguinte:



1. Dilma Rousseff detinha, junto com outros dois militantes, os códigos que, combinados, levavam a um arsenal.



2. Eram as armas da VAR-Palmares, organização que combateu a ditadura militar (1964-1985).



3. A revelação foi levada aos autos num “depoimento” arrancado de João Batista de Sousa em março de 1970.



4. Companheiro de Dilma, João Batista falou sob tortura. Mas, procurado pelos repórteres, confirmou o conteúdo do processo, adicionando detalhes.



5. Responsável pela guarda do armamento da VAR-Palmares, João Batista desenvolveu um código que identificava o endereço, em Santo André (SP).



6. Dividiu o segredo com outras duas pessoas da organização. Um pedaço do código foi repassado a Dilma. Nessa época, ela se escondia sob o codinome de “Luíza”.



7. O outro naco do código foi às mãos de Antonio Carlos Melo Pereira, que, na clandestinidade, atendia pelo nome de “Tadeu”.



8. Na hipótese de prisão de João Batista, Dilma e Antonio Carlos teriam como chegar ao “aparelho” das armas. Bastaria que juntassem as duas partes do código.



9. "Fiz isso para que Dilma, minha chefe na VAR, pudesse encontrar as armas", declara, hoje, já decorridos 40 anos, João Batista.



10. O arsenal incluía: 58 fuzis Mauser, 4 metralhadoras Ina, 2 revólveres, 3 carabinas, 3 latas de pólvora, 10 bombas de efeito moral...”



...100 gramas de clorofórmio, 1 rojão de fabricação caseira, 4 latas de "dinamite granulada" e 30 frascos com substâncias para "confecção de matérias explosivas".



11. João Batista participou de assaltos a bancos e mercados. Hoje, conta: "Informava todas as ações para Dilma com três dias de antecedência".



12. Tido pelos colegas como um dos mais corajosos militantes da VAR-Palmares, João Batista arrostou quatro anos de cadeia. Diz ter sido torturado por mais de 20 dias.



13. Na entrevista, declarou ter votado em Dilma. Até hoje ele a chama de "minha coordenadora".

14. Antes de ser preso, acertara com Dilma três “pontos” de encontro. Diz que não revelou aos torturadores as horas e os locais.



15. Dilma seria presa meses depois de João Batista. Ele recorda que, depois, ela lhe disse que utilizou o código para resgatar o arsenal da Var-Palmares.



16. Nos autos do processo, o trecho em que João Batista fala do código foi anotado assim:



"Que, tal código, entregou a ‘Tadeu’ e ‘Luisa’, sendo que deu a cada um uma parte e apenas a junção das duas partes é que poderia o mencionado código ser decifrado".



17. Procurada, Dilma Rousseff, agora presidente eleita, não quis comentar.



18. José Dirceu, que chamara Dilma de “companheira de armas” na solenidade em que transmitiu a ela o cargo de chefe do Gabinete Civil, reagiu assim:



“Ficha de órgão político é lixo puro. Se você acreditar [nas acusações], precisa acreditar também que o [jornalista] Wladimir Herzog se matou".



19. No caso específico, os dados foram corroboradas por quem as prestou. De resto, até o “lixo” e os métodos da ditadura têm inestimável valor historiográfico.



Não é por outra razão que o petismo, Dirceu incluído, defende a criação de uma "Comissão da Verdade". O companheiro não há de supor que a verdade é via de mão única.



No mais, um país que desconhece o seu passado perde a oportunidade de aproveitar, no presente, os acertos pretéritos. Perde também a chance de esquivar-se dos erros.

#news India PM Manmohan Singh denies 'inaction' claims


Manmohan Singh Mr Singh has reputation unblemished by corruption

India's prime minister has rejected accusations that he acted too slowly over prosecuting a former minister.

India's Supreme Court wants Manmohan Singh to explain 16 months of "alleged inaction" over a scandal involving the sale of mobile phone licences.

Telecoms Minister A Raja has resigned over allegations he sold mobile phone licences for billions of dollars less than their value. He denies the claims.

Mr Singh said anyone found guilty over the scandal would be punished.

The BBC's Chris Morris in Delhi says the widening scandal involving the allocation of second-generation (2G) mobile phone licences is fast becoming a major challenge for the Indian government.

Federal auditors say rules were flouted when the licences were put up for sale in 2008.

Licences in the lucrative market had been sold at "unbelievably low prices" - the loss to the government could be as high as $39bn (£24.3bn), they said in a report.

If any wrong thing has been done by anybody, he or she will be brought to book”

End Quote Manmohan Singh Indian Prime Minister

The Supreme Court then asked the prime minister or any official on his behalf to submit a reply in writing by Saturday.

Government lawyers have now filed the affidavit, which argues that investigations are already well under way.

Mr Singh touched on the issue during a news conference.

"There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that if any wrong thing has been done by anybody, he or she will be brought to book," Mr Singh said.

Allegations are now flying thick and fast, our correspondent says, and potentially damaging tapes of telephone conversations between an influential lobbyist and senior business and media figures have reached the public domain.

But attention is focused primarily on the prime minister himself, who has an unblemished reputation for probity in a system where corruption has become all too common, he adds.

The opposition has blocked parliamentary business for days, and it senses an opportunity to cause significant political damage.

Opposition MP Subramanian Swamy says he wrote letters to Mr Singh in 2008 calling for Mr Raja's prosecution.

In India, the prosecution of a cabinet minister has to be cleared by the prime minister.

He says Mr Singh took more than a year to reply, which the government denies.

#news Is the 'don't ask, don't tell' repeal DOA?

A repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell?” Don’t bet on it.

The window for action on reversing the ban on gays in the military is quickly closing, and the path to undoing the 17-year-old law is riddled with roadblocks: a crowded lame-duck calendar, Democratic defectors, and emboldened Republican senators who have no desire to hand a legislative victory to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

If Democrats fail to pass the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” next month – before Republicans take control of the House in January — it could be years before they get another shot.

“Unless Democrats completely neglect the tax-hike issue and everything else they’ve been talking about lately, like the DREAM Act, the START treaty and controversial nominees, they won’t be able to finish it,” said one senior Senate GOP aide.

The repeal of “don’t ask” has been attached to the defense authorization bill, and Senate Republicans have already blocked the bill once before over this issue.

And while advocates scrape for 60 votes to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell,” there is no clear path to passage if the repeal remains embedded in the larger defense bill.

Reid (D-Nev.) pledged this week to bring the bill to the floor again next month, saying Congress must end “this discriminatory policy so that any American who wants to defend our country can do so.” And Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), who’s led the fight for repeal, said Thursday he was “confident” there are at least 60 votes in the Senate to overcome another GOP filibuster.

“The movement to end the injustice of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ is alive and well, and we’re going to keep fighting in the spirit of the American military until we get the job done,” said Lieberman, who was joined at a Capitol Hill news conference by a dozen Democratic senators who support the repeal.

But a handful of those 60 votes come with a condition: that both Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) agree to allow senators to offer amendments to and have an extensive debate on the bill.

Reid, however, doesn’t want an amendment free for all, and McConnell – who’s about to usher in a much larger class of Senate Republicans — isn’t compromising on any major issues these days.

McConnell’s office released a statement Thursday questioning why Democrats are pushing the “don’t ask” repeal, the immigration-related DREAM Act, and other issues when Americans say their top concern is the economy.

Lieberman said at least two Republicans, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Dick Lugar of Indiana, indicated they would vote to take up the defense bill if there is a “fair and open amendment process.” And a spokesman for Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she may support the bill if a host of conditions are met.

“This is a weighty, policy-laden bill that normally takes several weeks to debate and amend,” said Murkowski spokesman Michael Brumas. “If the majority attempts to push it through allowing little or no debate or votes on amendments, Sen. Murkowski would be inclined to oppose those efforts.”

Two more wavering senators, Jim Webb (D-Va.) and Scott Brown (R-Mass.) are also in play. Both voted against repeal of “don’t ask,” but they also voted in committee for the defense authorization bill, which includes repeal language. That’s two more yes votes that repeal advocates should be able to count on their side, according to one Senate staffer. And retiring Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) is thought to still be in play.





But for every new potential Republican who jumps aboard, there are other Democrats wavering. Sens. Mark Pryor and Blanche Lincoln, both moderate Arkansas Democrats, voted with Republicans to block the bill the last time it was considered in September. And Pryor said Thursday he’d likely vote no again in the lame duck.

“I might vote no on that again,” he said. “I hadn’t made a final decision yet, but I’d be leaning that way.”

Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) wasn’t sure he’d support it either. “I just gotta see the bill. I haven’t seen it,” he said.

The Senate could be in session through Dec. 17, said Lieberman, who joked that he’d be willing to work through “the eighth day of Hanukkah” to get the bill passed.

The Human Rights Campaign recently deployed teams to key states to raise grassroots awareness about the issue and urge moderate Democratic and GOP senators to get behind the repeal. Among those they’re targeting are Republicans Brown, Voinovich, Murkowski, Collins, and Olympia Snowe of Maine, as well as Democrats Webb and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

“We’re cautiously optimistic but it remains to be seen,” said Joe Solmonese, president of HRC, the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy group. “The only thing that’s clear is that this is the moment to get it done.”

While he fully backs the repeal, Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), the Armed Services Committee chairman tasked with shepherding the defense bill through the Senate, sought to tamp down Lieberman’s exuberance. Levin doesn’t want to be the first Armed Services chairman in 48 years to fail to pass a defense authorization bill, so he’s concerned about “don’t ask” bringing down his big bill.

“It’s a very difficult thing to get done,” Levin said, “and even if we can get to 60 votes, that is just the first of many, many steps.”

The Senate is still awaiting a Pentagon report that is expected to find that most troops believe that lifting the ban would have a “positive, mixed or non-existent” effect, according to The Washington Post. The results of the review, due Dec. 1, are critical to supporters of repeal, who say they believe there really is a “path to repeal” at this juncture – perhaps more so now because time is running out.

“I'm just hoping that there are no surprises in the report, because it will be crucial to our success, and that it's as pro-repeal overall as the leaks have indicated,” Richard Socarides, a former advisor on gay rights in the Clinton administration, told POLITICO. “If, after the report, Gates is willing to really push for repeal, then our chances go up. But even then, this is far from a done deal.”

Some legislators, like Arizona Sen. John McCain, the top Republican on the Armed Services who led the GOP filibuster against the bill two months ago, has said he would withhold judgment on repeal until he saw the results of the study. If the leaked report is accurate, it could reduce the opposition to repealing the policy.




But McCain drilled Gen. Carter Ham, co-chair of the Pentagon panel studying repeal, during a Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday. McCain asked how many respondents there were to the survey and other questions that hinted at his pessimism about its results.

McCain told POLITICO that the study is insufficient. The gay ban should not be repealed “until we get a study that assesses the impact on battle effectiveness and morale, which is not this [Dec. 1] study.” McCain also has called for congressional hearings on the Pentagon report, which Levin has agreed to.

And if they’re given the chance to offer amendments to the defense bill, Republicans could try to insert measures unpalatable to Democrats, including a ban on sending any Guantanamo Bay prisoners to the U.S or tougher limits on the countries prisoners can be transferred to. Both proposals could win majority support in an up-or-down vote to attach them to the Senate bill, but they’d be sure to draw the ire of the Obama administration.

Reid spokesman Jim Manley said his boss always has been willing to allow senators on both sides of the aisle to offer amendments, adding that “the offer still stands.”

“Clearly there are 60 votes to repeal ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ Clearly there are 60 votes to pass the defense authorization bill,” Manley said. “The question is whether Republicans will hide behind procedural issues.

During an appearance on Fox News Thursday, McCain blasted Reid for trying to push through the repeal when so many other issues will be competing for the Senate’s attention after the Thanksgiving break. The chamber is expected to consider the START nuclear-arms treaty, the DREAM Act, the extension of unemployment benefits and Bush-era tax cuts, and a continuing resolution to keep the federal government funded into next year.

“Harry Reid must think that it's the last train out of town, this lame-duck session, because every day he announces we are going to do something else. …” McCain said. “All of that he's going to jam into a couple of weeks. It's going to be a very interesting exercise to try to watch here.”

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), also a member of Armed Services, called Reid’s repeal efforts “inappropriate” since Republicans will have added six new senators to their ranks by the time the new Congress convenes in January.

“I assume [Reid] thinks this is the best chance. But I think it’s very ill-advised for him to push something through in a lame duck session that’s that controversial and got that much of a departure from the current law,” Wicker said. “That’s not what lame-duck sessions are for.”

But other senators, standing with gay-rights leaders and those discharged from the military over the policy, see ending the ban as a critical human-rights and equality issue.

“This is another discriminatory law,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), the Judiciary Committee chairman. “It is a systemic, corrosive charade that helps no one and hurts many, and it’s time it’s done away with.”
