Jamie Ward had an eventful afternoon at Pride Park putting his side ahead for a second time in the first half before his foul on Tyrone Mears proved the turning point in the second as he gave away the penalty that lead to Burnley`s equaliser and was also dismissed for being the last man. A strong start for The Rams saw Theo Robinson convert from close range only for them to be pegged back when Chris Eagles curled home from twelve yards to level the scores. Ward then took centre stage when his deflected effort restored the lead for Derby but he then clipped Mears` heels as he ran into the area and the referee pointed to the spot. Brad Jones saved Eagles` penalty but he was first to the rebound to level the scores for a second time and his cross minutes later was headed home by Wade Elliott to turn the match on its head. The returning Chris McCann struck from outside of the area to round off the scoring and leave his side on the edge of the playoff race with Derby almost safe being eight points clear of the dropzone with three games to go.
Nigel Clough made one change to the side who held leaders Queens Park Rangers on Monday night with Russell Anderson coming in for his first start since the opening game of the season at left back in place of Gareth Roberts who was ill and there were places on the bench for youngsters Jeff Hendrick and Callum Ball. The Rams were at their visitors from the off on a glorious afternoon at Pride Park and Steve Davies tried his luck with a strike from distance in the first two minutes but Brian Jensen was equal to it. The fast start continued and Derby took the lead on six minutes when Davies played a neat ball down the left to Stephen Pearson and his low cross picked out Theo Robinson who couldn`t miss from six yards as he flicked the ball into the far corner.
Derby continued on the front foot but found themselves pegged back when Burnley levelled the scores with virtually their first meaningful attack of the match, Chris Eagles beat John Brayford in the air and nodded down to Chris Iwelumo who held the ball well and returned it to the winger who curled a neat effort into the top corner beyond the helpless Brad Jones. The Rams came back well and James Bailey and Theo Robinson both had efforts from the edge of the area which were not far off target and Jones reacted well to turn a Chris McCann effort away when he latched onto Iwelumo`s flick and fired a firm effort towards the bottom corner. At the other end Derby retook the lead when a half clearance from a corner dropped to Jamie Ward in the area and his shot took a deflection off of McCann and beat the despairing Jensen. It was no more than they deserved for their endeavour and they retained possession well with some football reminiscent of the early days of the season to reach the break a goal ahead.
Pearson saw his run into the area matched with a pointblank save from Jensen in the early minutes of the second period and Jack Cork had a shot deflected just wide of the post as Burnley looked to come from behind again. Davies then headed a Jay Rodriguez effort over the bar from the resulting corner and there were shouts for a penalty when Eagles went down theatrically under a challenge from Robbie Savage but the referee was not impressed. The visitor`s pressure eventually told when Tyrone Mears` run into the area was ended when Ward clipped his heels and the referee pointed to the spot and showed the on loan Sheffield United man a red card for a professional foul. Brad Jones saved the resulting spotkick well down to his right but Eagles, the initial taker, was first to the rebound to slam home from close range to level the scores.
Burnley sensed the game was there for the taking and they took the lead minutes later when Eagles crossed from the right and Wade Elliott beat his man in the air to head into the far corner and beyond Jones. The man disadvantage and hot conditions meant The Rams forays forward were becoming less regular although Davies had a free kick from just outside the area well held by Jensen in one such attack. The visitors tied up the victory with fifteen minutes to go when McCann ran at a retreating Derby backline and his low effort from twenty yards beat Jones off the post to put his side further ahead. Youngsters Ball and Hendrick both came off the bench late on and added a little bit of running to The Rams side but they couldn`t make any headway into the scoreline and were well beaten by the final whistle.

Maps help in the search for new resources and talent
Written by Holden Slattery
Wearing a hard hat, safety glasses, and coveralls, a Pitt junior goes to work 400 feet below the Earth’s surface. Jim McCaffrey, a mining engineering major, is spending his summer with CONSOL Energy, a coal and gas company south of Pittsburgh. For the rest of the season and later, on weekends and vacations, McCaffrey mines coal, builds roof supports, and installs conveyor belts. He uses his wages to pay his Pitt tuition.
That was the summer of 1975. Three years later, with an engineering degree from the University, he was hired by CONSOL as a mining engineer, charged with improving the company’s mining methods. He’s still with the company today, after rising through the ranks during his 32-year employment. His current position is senior vice president of CONSOL’s material and supply chain management group and CNX Land Resources, a subsidiary.
Not too long ago, McCaffrey’s company sent him back to school as a volunteer instructor at Pitt, teaching an introductory course in mining engineering. He’s also an unofficial ambassador for his profession, sparking interest in mining careers among a new generation of student-engineers. The world has changed a lot since McCaffrey was an undergraduate and mining engineering was in its heyday. In the 1980s, an economic downturn pummeled the coal mining industry, research funding waned, and the University phased out its mining engineering courses. Today, CONSOL and other coal companies face a workforce generation gap.
At Pitt, McCaffrey is bridging the gap by reaching out to talented young people who can help lead CONSOL and other mining and energy production companies into the new world of 21st-century energy production. Mining engineers across the globe are pursuing ways to produce affordable energy and to meet the demands of rapidly emerging industrialized regions without jeopardizing the Earth’s environment.
By partnering with CONSOL to revive interest and resources in mining engineering, Pitt’s Swanson School of Engineering is leading the way to help solve the energy riddle. Their collaboration is important—more than 50 percent of electricity in the United States and 25 percent of the world’s energy is generated from coal, a resource that is abundant in the Northeast and Midwest.
Engineers at CONSOL and elsewhere are working to develop technologies to capture and store carbon dioxide emissions from burning coal. Developing the technology will require hiring people, as well as acquiring about $2 billion in funding over the next six to 10 years.
CONSOL and Pitt are poised to be at the forefront of this new wave. The energy firm and the University have been collaborating to create new mining engineering classes at Pitt. McCaffrey assisted in teaching those classes. Also, the Swanson School has developed a plan that would enable students to earn a certificate related to mining engineering. The certificate courses are part of the Swanson School’s energy and sustainability initiatives. The school has also revived classes in nuclear engineering and power and energy engineering. Proposals have been submitted for similar certificate programs in these fields, too.
CONSOL’s partnership with Pitt goes back more than a decade. In 1991, the CONSOL Energy Mining Map Collection began as the company made its first donations to the University Library System of what is now a priceless compilation of 8,000 vintage engineering maps and photographs. The maps, some of which date to the 1850s, display in great detail the underground veins of coal mines and their depths, evidence of the rich history of mining in this area. Many of these colorful, hand-drawn maps are also works of art.
In January 2005, a mine blew out in McDonald, Pa., a rural hamlet in Washington County. Every minute, up to 10,000 gallons of water and mine drainage gushed from the 1930s-era Nickel Plate Mine. Streets were flooded and homes were threatened. Because the Environmental Protection Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation had studied mining maps from the Pitt collection, environmental and safety officials found a location to build a permanent gravity drain system, which included an overflow area, to control the mine discharge and keep homes and residents safe. The accident revealed just how important the collection of such maps could be and led to the modernization of mining map collections, including the one at Pitt.
Now, the U.S. Office of Surface Mining is searching for old maps to digitize and post on its Web site. The department has found maps at universities, historical societies, and in private homes. Pitt is providing metadata on the maps in its collection to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), which is storing the digital files. Pitt will link to the state’s DEP maps Web site when it is completed. Recently, the state DEP and the Office of Surface Mining agreed to provide $81,242 to support the map project, and CONSOL committed $100,000 over five years to clean, repair, catalogue, and better preserve the maps at Pitt.
Meanwhile, in the hills of Appalachia, McCaffrey has taken a group of students on a field trip to Enlow Fork, one of the longest coal mines in the region. The students walk underground and watch CONSOL’s miners and managers work. McCaffrey stands nearby watching the students, looking for those who might not mind the hands-on work of going deep into the Earth to harvest energy for a new generation.

A couple of months ago it was reported that Kristen Wiig might join the cast of Anchorman: The Legend Continues. I'm happy to say that she's now officially on board! Director Adam McKay recently tweeted the following confirmation...
Just found out Kristen Wiig officially on board for Anchorman 2.Cannonball!— Adam McKay (@GhostPanther) February 5, 2013
This would only be the second time that Wiig and Will Ferrell have been in a film together. The only other movie they did together was 2008's Semi-Pro, and she only had a small role. Her role will be a little bigger this time around as she'll be playing Steve Carell's love interest in the story. I think Wiig is hilarious, and I'm happy that she ended up joining the film!
The story follows the on-set adventures of San Diego’s top newsman, and it was previously revealed that it will partly be a musical, so that's something to look forward to! Check out the funny awesomeness of Wiig and Ferrell presenting at the Golden Globes below!

A day after NBCUniversal’s E! Network locked up Giuliana Rancic for another two years, E! has announced that another entertainment news host is joining the fold. Maria Menounos is officially leaving Extra to join E!.
The news isn’t completely surprising, as there was speculation in March that she would be leaving Extra. That coincided with the launch of her Oxygen show Chasing Maria Menounos. Oxygen is a member of the NBCU group of cable networks.
On Thursday, E! said that Menounos has signed a multi-year deal, which will cover several specials and series. Her Underman/Omegagirl Productions company has also agreed to a first-look deal with E!.
The first part of the deal includes Untold with Maria Menounos, an hour-long entertainment newsmagazine she will host. She will also appear on Live From E! and E! Specials.
“To be able to host, report and produce for an entire network, one that spans globally no less, is thrilling,” Menounos said in a statement. “I'm excited to exercise my talents on both sides of the camera as my partner, Keven Undergaro, and I have many projects to bring to the network through Underman/Omegagirl. I'm equally excited to join a team of hosts and producers that are amongst the finest in our industry.”
Menounos has previously done work for NBC, reporting for Nightly News and The Today Show. She worked with Mario Lopez on Extra and also anchored Access Hollywood.

Is the SF Chronicle the Beginning of a Paywall Rollback Trend?
Posted: 8/15/2013 | By: Mathew Ingram | Gigaom
The San Francisco Chronicle appears to have decided that putting a paywall around commodity news content isn’t a great strategy and has effectively dismantled the one around its newspaper site — although the company says it will keep a subscription plan.
Anyone who follows the newspaper industry has gotten pretty used to seeing the launch of new paywalls by now, as publishers try to fight the ongoing decline of their print advertising and circulation revenue. Tuesday saw a publisher move rather sharply in the opposite direction, however, when the San Francisco Chronicle effectively removed the wall it erected around its newspaper content just four months ago — in what appears to be a tacit admission that charging for commodity news isn’t working.

37 weeks plus 3 with baby number 2. Fed up and trying everything with no luck!(57 Posts)
Hi all! I am new to mumsnet and was browsing and found loads of old threads from last year regarding this waiting game and going overdue! One thread turned into a lovely little supportive club so hoping this will happen here as could do with the moral support and encouragement that this will all end in a baby at some point!!
I have a beautiful DS who was 4 on 12th Feb and is even more excited than me and his daddy to meet his little sister due on 2nd May!!!
I am well and truly fed up already, feel huge, no energy left and increasingly concerned that this labour is going to go the same way as first, induced at 41 plus 4 with a pessary, 8 agonising sweeps, 52 hour labour due to partial moon shaped piece of cervix not wanting to dilate back! All on gas and air with a 2nd degree tear sutured by surgeon
Sorry for long intro, but literally want baby out NOW
Been bouncing on birthing ball since 37weeks, been taking epo orally (2x 500mg a day) and rubbed a capsule on belly since friday still too scared to insert!!! Ate about 30 currys, 3000 steaming hot baths, walked 3 million miles but apart from an increase in discharge (sorry for tmi but may be my plug gradually!) (hopeful face!!) A few niggles in sides and back, diarrhoea, insomnia and feeling like i have a bowling ball between my legs we have nothing!!
Please tell me you are all in the same boat??!?! Anyone???!!
Hey there little miss!! I'm currently 40+8 with my first and hear your frustrations!! I too have tried lots to get her out but nothing is working, think I've made it all too comfy for her in there. I have lost, and continue to lose, my plug and get the odd twinge but nothing is happening.
Like you I feel huge, have lost my appetite, can't sleep because I'm so uncomfy and feel nauseous all the time!!
Just want to meet her now!! Hoping to be induced on Tuesday but not sure if they'll offer that just yet!!
I am in a similar boat OP, am currently 40+2 though, also went to 41+4 last time and escaped induction by a few hours. Also 2/3 degree tear last time. 8 sweeps!! Thats incredible, did you have 1 a day?!
OK- I mean this kindly, try not to stress yourself out, you may have a while yet and driving yourself loony with all the natural induction methods won't help you to enjoy this last bit of time when you get to a)still have a full nights sleep, b) have a long, relaxing bath, c) pee by yourself. I'm trying really to chill out a bit now and accept what will be will be, even though I would ideally like a home birth and that`s only possible until 40+10.
You don't have to have sweeps if you find them v uncomfortable this time.
I have heard the epo inserted manually can cause thrush so be careful, I am taking it orally but personally wouldn't insert!
I fully get where you`re coming from, I am huge + uncomfortable + starting to be driven mad with well meaning texts from friends and family. But I do kinda think if they're not ready, they're not coming out!!
I hear you OP, 39 + 3 I look like a bull elephant I'm fed up now and knowing I went to 40+8 with my first really doesn't inspire confidence in me! Curry tomorrow, Pineapple yesterday and walking today nothing seems to be shifting this stubborn little boy including threats of eating MIL's food Suspect my consultant wants to induce me at 40+5 and I'd rather avoid that to be honest.
Problem is I have MIL staying with us to look after DD when I go into labour and she's decided FIL can't be trusted alone so has to return home tomorrow and come back when he's in work again so can just see everything kicking off tomorrow or tuesday. Only reason I'm worried about that is because DD arrived within 3 hours of labour starting
I do sleep though in fact I mostly seem to sleep or eat right now which makes a change from the appalling insomnia I had a week ago. Do relax though as Jumping said its our last chance to have a full nights sleep for a while
Hey Mooley and Jumping! Feel awful that you are both much further along than me yet dont seem to be complaining as much lol!! Think its just the whole first time round induction/labour that is playing on my mind, i know what to expect this time round and not sure if thats a good thing!! :/
Are you concerned about the whole tearing thing this time Jumping as I have read scar tissue doesnt stretch as easily! Just worrying myself stupid about things completely out of my control i think!!
I know i should just be patient and enjoy the last couple of weeks of just having one very well behaved 4yr old and no demanding bubba! I am trying honestly!
What are you guys doing to keep busy though, feel like boredom is making the waiting much worse!! Actually missing work in a way! (Never thought i would say that!!!)
I agree Jumping dont think i will be inserting epo anytime soon!!! As for the sweeps they just continued to do them on the ward from the first pessary on the tuesday afternoon until the thursday morning when they finally let me go onto the birth centre!! I just found them horrendous but they said if I didnt have them they could not tell what stage i was at and in turn could not give me appropriate pain relief/send me down etc so just let them get on with it! I can safely say they were worse than actually pushing my boy out!
Hubs is driving me insane too of a night bless him! If he isnt snoring and waking me then apparently i am snoring and waking him then he has the cheek to wake me to stop?!!! I have asked him who in the right mind wakes an 8 and a half months pregnant woman who only manages about 3hrs a night anyway?! He just smiles......great!
Wish it was me looking at an induction tuesday Mooley, hope you get your wish!
Unfortunately you are right Jumping......they will come when they come just wish it was today! :D
Hiya Peach that made me laugh...bull elephant...my thoughts exactly i have been avoiding all mirrors since 30wks lol
I have to say DS's childcare is my main concern too especially if something happens during the night, I so have plan in place but still playing on my mind! MIL and FIL lovely but useless and live an hours drive away so wont come over until after baby is born....thank god she says!
I think its very typical not being able to sleep now yet i know its all i will want to do after I have baby!
Any indication on size of your little DS?? I know these measurements with tape and even scans cant be 100% as was told DS was going to be very big all the way through but was 7lb 8oz. They are saying DD is large too eeek i hope not!
I am a bit concerned about the tearing yes, especially as my DD was 9 1/2 pounds and I'm told this one ( a boy) will be a `good size!! I also think that when I was stitched last time they stitched me a bit too tight but that was after I'd already been stitched up once and then unstitched and restitched when they'd realised they'd stitched the wrong bits together. Again: . I'm expecting the exit to be a bit less flexible anyway, but I didn't actually feel the tearing. I also did have 4 midwives practically screaming PUSH at me as well which I don't think helped.
As my DD was out in 15 mins I don't think this was really necessary in retrospect.
I think I am likely to be more assertive this time. I hate stories like you tell, I know lots of women who have been induced and they have not had to be swept- maybe a VE at some point but 8 seems excessive!!
Perhaps it might be worth going through your birth plan with someone at your next as appt. and making it explicit that you really want to limit the VEs if you are induced and ask them how they can do this. Last time I accepted whatever they told me. This time I will query things if they don't feel/sound right to me.
You still have lots of time on your side anyway and may v well not get to induction. I'm hoping 2nd time will be easier and shorter!!
My sympathies re. sleeping with a snorer, my DP is horrendous, highly recommend the blue round silicone ear plugs from Boots (sorry can't remember exact name). They have saved our relationship
Ouch on the stitched/restitched/stitched after wrong bits stitched together Jumping!!! Thought I had it bad when they put in two locals to stitch, she started and I said "can still bloody feel that!" And SHE yes SHE carried on anyway!! By she i mean the female surgeon who I thought by just being a SHE would have a bit more compassion for another woman....clearly not!!
Glad I am not the only one who feels it was a tad tight but like you I did not feel the actual tearing as my DS also flew out in 15mins or so with midwives yelling PUSH regardless!
Yes definitely hoping to start naturally but like you will be more assertive regardless of induction or not!! I am adamant I will not be put through internals like that or that quantity again!! Thanks for tip on talking it through on birth plan though, will definitely be doing that on tues at midwife appt!
As for DH and his snoring...... Will be investing in blue ear plugs first thing tomo morning
Any idea on an induction date? When are you next due to see midwife?
I have my next appt. and a sweep booked for tomorrow, have had one already last Weds after which I had a show. Hoping the next one helps to get things going!! I find sweeps OK, much better than VE in labour, but everyone is different. A tip I was given is to completely relax yr jaw when you have a sweep and your pelvic floor then automatically relaxes which makes things much more comfortable.
I spent the whole day in hospital yesterday, went in after strong headaches, that was all fine but while there discovered the baby's heart rate was up and down. They were trying to decide whether to induce me then and there and the consultant said they'd give me a pessary, then break my waters. I told her I wouldn't let them break my waters unless absolutely necessary and asked about alternatives. She was obviously pissed off, but I'd had a hideous experience of a male consultant attempting ARM last time with two other male students watching while he made my DP wait outside.
I'll have an induction at 40+12 if the baby is not here by then, I am thinking positively though and will be ordering an extra hot Thai curry tonight!!
Hello ladies, can I join? I'm 39+4 and getting a little impatient now although I haven't actually reached my EDD yet.
This is my first so I have to admit to being pretty clueless. Based on what I've heard I'd like to avoid induction if possible though I may get to the point where I just want to get things started.
I have an MW appointment this week to book in a sweep for next week. It sounds like they can be very uncomfortable so I'm a little nervous about that. Stupid question but is the point of a sweep to try to kick labour off without an induction?
Sending positive baby arrival vibes to all and hope we're not waiting too long.
Hi ladies! can I join??!!
Im 37 weeks today, been for a
waddledtour this afternoon around labour ward. This is my 2nd dd but after a 18 year gap!
I actually started ballooning 3 days ago, fat sausage fingers and cankles lol, very swollen knee, inflamed ribs, even my heads gone really big !
feel like im an gaviscon addict with a bottle or tablets in every room/car lol.
Ive been eating pineapple daily and also raspberry tea, have any of you guys had good experience with the tea?
Also im oddly calm about the labour..I don't know if im in complete denial or the hypnobirthing cd is working and ill go in to a trance when I start to labour!
cringing at the stitching stories !! jumping that's awful !!!! [flowrs]
good luck ladies!! x
also I invested in one of those big pillows for between my legs while in bed. I wake up for the toilet every hour and have to do a 3 point turn just to get out out of bed , DH snores too so we are literally getting no sleep between us ! Gave up and went and got in the spare bed last night lol x
Teapig- yes the point of the sweeps is to try and kick things off but I think success is really down to how favourable your cervix is. I had 3 last time and went into labour soon after. Try and relax about them, everyone is different and personally I find them less uncomfortable than a smear.
I have been having some contractions in the night, just a few, which feels really odd to me. Last time I had the text book woke at first twinge, got closer together and stronger and then went to hospital. This time this per-labour bit is really dragging out!!
Seriouscakeeater- I took a lot of R Leaf Tea last time (capsules and tea) and went from 3-10cm in a couple of hours with a 15 min pushing phase. From my experience then it would seem they gave me nice strong uterine muscles!!
Morning ladies! Hope you all got some sleep
jumping fingers crossed for you, things might start moving now! I'm going to brew s large pot of r leaf now!
Will it be red or green thai curry u have? [Grin]
Ladies have any of you experienced a burning/painful spot at the top of your tummy, Even an ice pack won't subdue it.
I wonder what it is?
I need to get my birth plan sorted on Wednesday!
Sorry Jumping I meant 8 VE's during labour! Thesweep was as you said uncomfortable at most! Great tip on relaxing jaw during Sweeps/VE's I will definitely be trying that! Oooooo contractions sound promising!! Good luck and keep us updated!
Hi Teapig I agree with Jumping sweeps are pretty pointless unless your cervix is ripe or getting that way and if the cervix is closed and far back it can be uncomfortable and in my experience not worth it! I have asked MW to check this time first to establish if my cervix is favourable to do one or not and if its not she has agreed to leave it. Maybe you could have a chat with MW and see what she says but overall they are nothing to worry yourself over Worth getting some Evening Primrose Oil Capsules (EPO) in my opinion though as they apparently help soften/ripen cervix for labour and also can help with tearing etc... I got some from boots and take 2 x 500mg tabs a day
Wetting myself (which is no longer hard!) at the large head! Am 100% feeling you on the swollen bodyparts though (had to remove wedding ring saturday in fear of having to have it cut off ) and gaviscon addiction! My HB is definitely worse of a night which just adds to the not sleeping!!
I have a large square pillow I try and shove between my legs every night and it definitely helps with my backache I find although I am with you on the manouvering just to go for a wee its such a chore 5x a night!!!
DH is a dreadful snorer!!! He did try to come back to bed last night (I feel guilty he has been sleeping on the sofa to be honest especially having to get up at 6 for work ) but he ended up back downstairs @ 2am ish
How strange I have had the burning/funny pain at top of tummy?!?!? Dont have a clue what thats all about, just another glorious pregno symptom I guess?!
Haven't tried RLT but want to! Where did you get it from as I will try anything to promote eviction of my tenant!
Thanks for the advice on sweeps littlemissjojo and jumping. I think I might ask my MW to check whether my cervix is favourable before doing a sweep.
littlemiss, re raspberry leaf tea I take the tablets from Holland & Barratt. I'm on 6 a day! You can use them to make the tea if you prefer. I don't think they help bring on labour (wish they would) but supposedly they can make contractions more effective and the second stage of labour shorter. I'm inspired by jumping's experience with RL tea.
Anything to make any part of labour easier/shorter etc is very welcome Teapig thanks! Will be sending DH to get some in his lunch break
I have MW tomo, wonder if she will perform a sweep at 37+5 lol!
Hey ho more sitting and waiting I guess! Time to clean the house......again!
littlemiss house work is all I seem to lol I've been on maternity two weeks sms my brain is frazzled! Keep ringing dh for really pathetic excuses like....when you home? ...there is a cat watching your avery...what shall we have for tea ..lol as I'm so bored! Just not used to it!
I don't actually think its normal heartburn either! I feel like lava and fire are actually about to come out my nose and ears!
I got the r leaf t bags and make a pot in morning then cool it and drink through out day, u actually ok. Better than the bloody wheat grass I chugged to help get pregnant!
P.s is any one doing perenium rubs/stretching?
just had a sweep, cervix is so posterior she could barely find it!! That's what I was told on Weds too but seems it's still the same. They have to pull it right forward to sweep it. The midwife very nicely suggested its possible but unlikely that things will happen this week and I'm looking at another long haul pregnancy. She also said I might just have a few contractions a night for a week or so! I have an acupuncture session in the morning, feel pretty downhearted about walking around for another 10 days with this massive bump!
Cake- have half heartedly done a little bit of perenium rubbing with almond oil but can't really reach anymore
Oh no Jumping how upsetting especially since your over night contractions seemed so positive!!! Doesn't sound appealing having to pull the cervix forward....eeeekk! At least she gave it a go for you and you never know MW could be wrong and baby could be planning escape as we speak so hang in there!
cake I am sooooo bored its untrue!! Got to say not so bored that I will be trying anymore perenium massage. Did it religously with DS and still had 2nd degree tear Everyone is different though so would say give it a go if you think its right for you This time round I have opted for taking some EPO orally as it is supposed to help down there as well as encourage ripening of cervix so double bonus
And to add I agree with Jumping I can't actually see anymore if I have anything down there to rub!
jumping ooh that sounds uncomfortable..your body like hanging on to your dcs!! Really hope things get moving for you as I feel hideous lumbering around at 37+1
jumping and littlemiss with regards to the massage...I had to look in the mirror the other day to do some..ahem..trimming and I have a birthing book which actually suggests that DH can do it......LOL I read the instructions out to DH and when I looked up he had the stupidest grin on his face...so that went out the window and ive not mentioned it again! lol
jumping I know this might be the LAST thing on your mind but have you tried having an orgasm?
Thank you for the lovely support ladies, I do feel much better equipped to deal with it mentally this time, last time I was a sobbing mess by this point!! It's only really that I want a home birth that causes the time tension.
I def think the epo helps soften the cervix, I've been taking 1000mg daily and my cervix has been softer on sweeps than it was in last pregnancy (and they've also been loads less painful, not sure if that's due to being softer or me being more relaxed).
I did read somewhere that perenium massage makes more of a difference with your first than with subsequent babies. Maybe that's why I cant give it my all!
So- plan for today is acupuncture, long walk home, and jump on my DP demanding an orgasm . Must admit this is something I haven't tried (too huge!)

(NaturalNews) It sounds like such an innocent idea, one rooted in "fairness" and wrapped in good intentions. An internet "ministry of truth," run either by the federal government or the United Nations, to protect against "misinformation and rumors" that find their way to the information superhighway.
Such an agency "would have to be an independent federal agency that no president could countermand or anything else because people wouldn't think you were just censoring the news and giving a different falsehood out."
No, that's not Russia's Vladimir Putin or Chinese President Hu Jintao making that absurd suggestion. That one came from former President Bill Clinton, the man who lied to the American public about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. If such an agency would have been in existence during his tenure, you have to think he would have been convicted during his impeachment trial in the Senate for sure.
A truth ministry would operate something like the BBC or perhaps National Public Radio (no bias there), Clinton said, and its scope would be narrowly defined to "not express opinions" and to identify "relevant factual errors." Clinton, of course, does not go on to say who gets to define what a "factual error" is, but we presume it would be the commies who run this agency.
Clinton's call for this new federal agency comes on the heels of similar rantings by a man named Cass Sunstein, the Obama administration's info-czar, who all Web sites should be forced to link to opposing viewpoints or contain pop-ups filled with government information.
George Orwell must be laughing in his grave; our founding fathers must be rolling over in theirs.
Clinton's "suggestion" that Congress move to regulate the internet builds on that same common theme shared among other members of our Legislative branch, as well as the Federal Communications Commission. In April House Republicans led the effort in passing legislation aimed at preventing the FCC from imposing so-called "net neutrality" regulations on the World Wide Web that opposing lawmakers said would give the agency immense censorship power.
"The FCC power grab would allow it to regulate any interstate communication service on barely more than a whim and without any additional input from Congress," said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore.
It was Thomas Jefferson, the father of the U.S. Constitution and third president of the United States, who once said, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." Clinton's call for a dictatorial info-suppression agency, with support from some U.S. lawmakers and the federal agency charged with guarding free speech, means Americans had better keep their heads in the game if they want to continue to experience the freedom the internet helps guarantee.

POMPANO BEACH (CBSMiami) – A Deerfield Beach man who reportedly called police to report he was being chased by a man with a gun ended up in jail for alleged public indecency.
On Sunday, just after 6 p.m. Broward sheriff’s deputies were sent to the 1900 block of NE 1st Avenue in Pompano Beach after a caller to 9-1-1 said he was being threatened by a man with a gun. When deputies arrived, at first they couldn’t find the person who made the call. They then spotted 27-year old Joseph Wilson who emerged from the backyard of a home.
When asked what was going on, Wilson told the deputies “some guys was chasing me with a gun and he said he was going to shoot me,” according to the complaint affidavit. When asked to describe the man or gun, Wilson said he couldn’t.

Southern Ocean Iron Experiment (SOFeX) Cruise
January 5 - February 26, 2002
January 17, 2002: Day 13
Ship: -55 58.4268 -171 50.5308
Drifter: -55 59.0742 -171 53.913 (in the middle of the patch, which has elongated E/W in the past 24hrs to about 20 km/10 km)
Ken Johnson writes: Were back at work, fertilizing the patch with more iron.Meanwhile, results from yesterdays station inside the patch are starting to come in.The chlorophyll concentration in waters from the patch seem to be increasing, values are nearly double those we measured at the beginning of the experiment.However, we need to analyze results from outside the patch to confirm that chlorophyll is not increasing there, as well - perhaps due to the calm conditions that we experienced.So Im not getting too excited by those results yet.At least theyre headed in the right direction.The Fv/Fm values in the patch have now increased to the maximum possible values - at least the phytoplankton present are, for sure, very healthy.
Other samples are beginning to fill the deckboard incubators.Weve had a bit of a backlog created because the Liquid Scintillation Counter needed to analyze the samples failed a few days ago.After a rush of e-mails, faxes, and satellite telephone calls, the problem was diagnosed by Beckman, the instrument manufacturer, and an emergency solution was implemented.The LSC is now back on line and working fine.However, MELVILLE will bring spare parts, just in case, for an at sea transfer when they reach us at the South Patch.That will be interesting, if we have to do it.
The weather continues to be fairly moderate.Winds remain about 15 knots.But its getting colder, look Josh has long pants on. While the ship is steaming along and spreading iron, weve been busy maintaining other gear that has been a little balky.We built some new underwater cables for the CTD because one of the connectors was leaky.Hopefully, that will fix a problem weve been having with the Transmissometer, which measures the amount of light in the water column.
Otherwise, Ive been busy revising our schedule.Were two days behind our original schedule - we lost one day in Lyttelton due to the delay in fueling, a half day on the transit because I way underestimated the amount of time the test station would take, and another half day here and there.Well leave here at midnight on the 19th (local time), heading down to 66S for the next experiment.No excuses.Theres another iron patch to be made.

Frost & Sullivan Sees Potential For Growth In Australia's Telecom Market
Opportunities abound in the data intensive applications for consumer value added services in new areas such as content aggregation, safety/security, video, mobile, online games, M2M and mobile healthcare, stated Milroy.
He added that although the heaviest users of mobile services use an iPhone, and Apple is the leading platform by value, Android is the leading mobile OS; low priced Android handsets by Samsung & other players have made Android extremely successful in Australia.
"4G LTE service provider, NTT DoCoMo and the National Broadband Network's introduction of their services have facilitated this shift in emphasis on new services. New emerging services include M-Payments, M2M and M-security, which exude significant potential though still very immature. The way forward is to provide market relevant services that drive consumer demand and give consumers perceived value" said Milroy.

"HireNYC not only helped Luna Park plan and organize our entire recruitment process, but with their vast network of local businesses as well as community leaders we were able to successfully recruit over 200 candidates in just a few weeks time."
Mayor Bloomberg and Central Amusement International (CAI) announced plans for the development of Luna Park, the first new amusement park to open in Coney Island in nearly fifty years. From there, the clock started ticking. CAI worked with the Coney Island Development Corporation (CIDC) to implement a record-breaking construction schedule to ensure the park opened on time, for Memorial Day weekend. Among the myriad tasks necessary to complete this significant undertaking, CAI needed to hire a new staff of nearly 200 people within that four-month timeline.
NYCEDC and CAI utilized the innovative HireNYC program to fill the jobs at Luna Park and directly reach out to the Coney Island community. HireNYC developed the recruitment plan and outreach strategy to engage local community-based organizations, elected officials, community leaders, and other New York City-based agencies in a comprehensive hiring effort. Working with the CIDC, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), and a tireless group of volunteer community partners, within two months, HireNYC successfully implemented a program that resulted in interviews for over 600 candidates from Coney Island, as well as other neighborhoods, and over 100 jobs for Coney Island residents. Luna Park celebrated its on-time opening with a media splash and broad support from Coney Island’s many community stakeholders. Most importantly, there were jobs created for Coney Island’s and New York City’s residents.

“No one likes to hear it, because it’s dull, but the reason you win or lose is darn near always the same: pitching.” —Hall-of-Fame manager Earl Weaver
Joining the 2014 pennant race was always going to take some luck, and that lady has not been blowing on the Mariners’ dice. Four Mariner starting pitchers are hurt—five if you count top prospect Danny Hultzen, out indefinitely after major shoulder surgery.
Losing an entire starting rotation would cripple an elite team, let alone the flawed M’s. But not every roll has come up snake eyes. Encouraging performances by young hitters supply hope. The M’s can stay in the race while their pitchers mend if:
Mike Zunino’s free-swinging style keeps working. “Carpe diem” has been Zunino’s motto thus far, as he’s swung at 63 percent of the pitches he’s seen—a higher rate than any other regular in baseball. The 23-year-old Zunino has three homers to show for it, but if he keeps swinging like an enraged Spartacus, he’s going to see fewer and fewer hittable pitches as opposing hurlers wise up to his approach. Still, a 20-homer season seems within reach, which would be rare for a catcher as young as Zunino. In baseball’s long history, only five catchers younger than 24 have hit 20 home runs in a season.
Abraham Almonte’s bizarre stats aren’t a fluke. Batting Average on balls in play (BAbip) measures how often a player gets a hit when he manages to put bat to ball. Last year’s MLB average was .297. Almonte’s is .372. A BAbip that high can be a product of luck, but some players—usually speedy, strong ones like Almonte—consistently outpace the median. If Almonte’s BAbip stays up, it’s probably a feature of his game rather than a statistical quirk, and the Mariners have that rare and glorious thing—an above-average hitter at a key defensive position.
Dustin Ackley keeps hitting fastballs for doubles. Just like last year, Ackley is seeing more fastballs than any other Mariner regular. But unlike last year, he’s not the worst Mariner regular at hitting them. Ackley’s cracked five doubles against four-seam fastballs already in 2014, as many as he hit off that pitch all of last year. Not coincidentally, he leads the Mariners in hitting.
So pitching injuries may be the story of the Mariner season so far, but 2014 isn’t written in stone quite yet.

Computer Aided Shed Designs
COPYRIGHT 1998 G.G. ALONZY
I was wondering if you know of a freeware or shareware CAD package that's available for downloading. What I would like to do with it, is draw up plans for building a tool shed for my back yard. The program doesn't have to be fancy, just easy to run.
I have personally found that using a computer can add more frustration to a small project than help. I admit it... learning a new program can be fun! At the same time, it is not always necessary to reinvent the wheel!
There are many books that have plans available. Pick one close to the dream tool shed you want and modify it, rather than starting from scratch. Use your local library to search books and back issues of home improvement magazines. Some mags have annual indexes. Your library may even be able to search their archives by topic to help you locate the right articles.
One really good reason to use a pre-made plan is the designers have already done the hard work... designing a structure that won't blow over with the first good gust of wind! A CAD program will not do this for you.
Depending on the size of the structure you envision, you may need to contact your local building inspector. Be sure your structure conforms to local codes... they are designed to establish a consistent level of structural safety for all buildings in your community. OK... we are not into promoting bureaucracy here, but most building codes are not tools of social engineering, just an aid to our survival and safety!
Hope this is helpful! Good luck and email or fax us a photo of your shed when you're done. Love to see it!

The clock is ticking for Wal-Mart suppliers from soap manufacturers to lipstick and consumers packaged goods (CPG) companies to ensure the goods they sell to the retail giant contain certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) by 2015.
In 2010, Wal-Mart made a public commitment to source 100% CSPO by the start of 2015 and it’s an important milestone the retailer plans to meet. The goal was one of several set by corporations coming under pressure from environmental groups to help stem the deforestation taking place in Malaysia and other developing countries to make room for tree plantations helping to fuel global demand.
“Palm oil is a commodity which is present in around 50% of all the products we sell. It is in everything from detergents to sandwiches, as it is an extremely versatile oil. Palm oil often only amounts to a very small percentage of a product, so it is often an ‘invisible’ ingredient simply listed as ‘vegetable oil’ in the ingredients list,” Wal-Mart notes on its website.
Supplier compliance to the rule has been mixed thus far, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) who is keeping tabs on the conversion to CSPO for retailers and suppliers alike. (Link here for a PDF report from WWF.)
Wal-Mart said the first thing it did in 2010 was to look at its own use of palm oil in the markets where it operates.
“Through this process of calculation we realized that Wal-Mart is accountable for 84,000 tonnes of palm oil and derivatives, or only 0.5% of global palm oil usage, so although we are a large business we use a relatively small amount of palm oil,” the retailer said.
WWF gives Wal-Mart, the retailer, a palm oil sustainability score of 7, out of a possible 12 for 2013. The score card notes that just 9% of the palm oil used by Wal-Mart last year was CSPO. WWF notes Wal-Mart commitment to 100% by 2015.
Wal-Mart’s ASDA business garnered a score of 11 with a 100% CSPO usage. Other retailers posting high scores include: IKEA at 12 and Tesco at 11. Target and Costco both scored a 0.
WWF reports that in 2011 only 47% of the palm oil that the assessed companies reported to be using was certified. Many had set themselves the target of reaching 100% by 2015 – but WWF said it “had doubts they were on course to achieve this.” In 2011, WWF concluded that no company in the world had an excuse not to be using 100% CSPO. By 2013 WWF revealed which companies have met that challenge and in return are poised to meet the 2015 deadline with Wal-Mart.
Unilever reached 100% CPSO used in 2012, while United Biscuits, L’Oreal and Johnson and Johnson each reached the 100% milestone in 2010. H.J. Heinz and Nestle were each at 94% CPSO used in 2013.
SUPPLIERS MAKING PROGRESS
The Hershey Company reached 50% CPSO used in 2013, according to WWF. The candy company said it has recently achieved the 100% usage goal a full year ahead of schedule.
Hershey said it will also work with its suppliers to achieve 100% traceable and sustainably sourced palm oil by the end of 2014.
“The Hershey Company is committed to continuous improvement and transparency in our sustainable sourcing efforts,” said Frank Day, vice president of Global Commodities. “Our move to source 100% traceable palm oil is the latest step forward in our efforts to ensure we are sourcing only sustainably grown palm oil that does not contribute to the destruction of wildlife habitat or negatively impact the environment.”
The Kellogg Company scored only a 2 on the WWF 2013 scorecard for sustainable palm oil usage. The low score was attributed to Kellogg not sharing its relevant information.
"As a socially responsible company, traceable, transparent sourcing of palm oil is an important concern, and we are collaborating with our suppliers to make sure the palm oil we use is not associated with deforestation, climate change or the violation of human rights," said Diane Holdorf of Kellogg.
Kellogg also noted in its recent sustainability report that it has urged its partner Wilmar — a large palm oil trader controlling 45% of that market — to adopt the commitment to eliminate deforestation from its supply chain.
"Kellogg's commitment to verifying that the palm oil it uses is not linked to illegal and high risk deforestation provides critical protection for both shareholders and the environment," said Leslie Samuelrich, president of Green Century, an environmental advocacy group.
Mars scored a 9 with 56% of is palm oil usage being certified in 2013, according to WWF. In March, the company announced two major new green policies and outlined a new sourcing charter designed to ensure all its suppliers are providing fully sustainable and traceable palm oil by 2015 — or have plans in place to do so — and setting out a strategy for addressing how its sourcing of beef, pulp and paper, and soy indirectly can contribute to deforestation.
"We're looking to build out a whole suite of policies across all materials and all issues," Barry Parkin, chief sustainability officer at Mars, told BusinessGreen. "The deforestation and palm oil policies are just another step in that effort, which you'll see us filling out over the next few years."
The new policies are set to cover land use, water use and social metrics such as human rights, Parkin revealed. Palm oil and deforestation are being tackled first because the company sees them as two of the most pressing challenges facing the global company.
Wal-Mart’s largest supplier, Proctor & Gamble, scored a 7 by WWF reporting 13% of its palm oil usage certified sustainable under the CSPO guidelines. P&G said last month that 100% of the palm oil it purchases is certified as sustainable under the RSPO guidelines as a Roundtable member. And now it is adding a commitment to no deforestation in its palm oil supply chain.
P&G said it will establish traceability of palm oil and palm kernel oil to supplier mills by Dec. 31, 2015, and it will ensure no deforestation in the palm supply chain to plantations by 2020.
“These goals go beyond our current commitments. P&G will continue to work with each of our suppliers, and we will invest in and work directly with small local farmers, where much of our supply comes from, to improve their production practices,” said Len Sauers. “This is the most complicated aspect of the palm supply chain, where P&G believes we can make a significant and lasting impact.”

Nick Danziger was born in London but grew up in Monaco and Switzerland. He developed a taste for adventure and travel from a young age and, inspired by the comic-strip Belgian reporter Tintin, took off on his first solo trip to Paris aged 13. Without a passport or air ticket he managed to enter the country and travel around, selling sketches to make money. Nick’s initial ambition was to be an artist, and he later attended The Chelsea School of Art, where he gained an MA in Fine Art and was soon represented by the Robert Fraser Gallery.
But his desire for travel remained. In 1982, he applied for and was awarded a Winston Churchill Memorial Fellowship, and used it to follow ancient trade routes, travelling on foot or by traditional local transport from Turkey to China, documenting his adventures in diaries. The diaries and photographs formed his first book, the best selling Danziger’s Travels in 1987, and a second book, Danziger’s Adventures, followed in 1993. His third book, published in 1996, Danziger’s Britain, was a social and political commentary on the state of Britain, and was said by the UK’s Independent newspaper to be, "so important that every one of us should read it and weep".
His photographic book, The British (2001), was awarded Best Monochrome Illustrated Book by The British Book Design & Production Awards in 2002, and was selected by The Sunday Times as one of its Photography Books of The Year.
He has since travelled the world taking photographs and making documentary films, and has become one of the world’s most renowned photojournalists. His photographs have appeared in newspapers and magazines worldwide, toured museums and galleries internationally, and are held in numerous museum collections including the National Portrait Gallery in London, the National Media Museum in Bradford and Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow.
He has won several prestigious awards for his photography including, in 2004, the World Press Photo 1st Prize in the Single Portrait Award for his ‘mirror’ image of Prime Minister Tony Blair and President George W. Bush. The picture was taken during Danziger’s 30-day, ground-breaking study of a Prime Minister at war.
His documentary work is also award-winning. In June 1991, his documentary video film ‘War, Lives and Videotape’, based on the children abandoned in Marastoon mental asylum in Kabul, won the prestigious Prix Italia for Best Television Documentary.
In 2007, he was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society, and he is holder of the Royal Geographical Society’s Ness Award in recognition of raising public understanding of contemporary social, political and environmental issues through documentary films and photography. In 1996 he was nominated for Journalist of The Year by the Royal Television Society.
Nick has spent much of the last 25 years photographing the world most dispossessed and disadvantaged. More recent photography projects have included a study of the impact of armed conflict on women and travel to eight of the world’s poorest countries to meet individuals living in extreme poverty. The aim was to document the progress being made towards meeting the eight ‘Millennium Development Goals’ set by the United Nations to eradicate poverty by 2015.
For Nick’s latest project he has returned to Bosnia to follow attempts to identify the remains of the thousands of men, women and children missing from the recent wars in the region.

Yes, I know a midriff-baring wedding dress sounds totally cray, in theory. But I'm currently obsessed with this Houghton NYC gown—which is actually a top-and-skirt combo. Check it out:
Here's why I think it works:
1) It's not showing THAT much skin. Unless you're standing with your shoulders back, it looks like less than an inch of bare skin would be exposed.
2) The rest of the dress is SO covered up. If the top also featured a plunging neckline and a low-cut back, it would all be a bit much, but this top is otherwise modest.
3) I like how the top and the skirt both have some peekaboo action. The top is a little cropped, and the skirt has a not-too-dramatic high-low hem, so your shoes would peek out from the bottom.
4) The top hits at a flattering point. No matter your shape, I feel like the space just below your ribs is a nice area on most girls—it's not treading into the dreaded muffin-top territory.
Would you wear a midriff-baring wedding dress? Or is this a little too risque for you?

Staining of ground bone sections
|From:||"Renton, Lousie, Mrs" <firstname.lastname@example.org>|
Greetings O fountain of all Wisdom.....
Can anyone help me out here please. I am preparing ground
sections of bone with titanium implants. The tissue has been
embedded in Technovit 7200 and ground to a thickness of 30-50
microns. According to the protocol I have, the sections have to be
incubated in 5 mins in 10% H2O2 prior to staining with Goldner's
modified trichrome method. The problem is this: I find that there is
a crystalline precipitate on the sections (all solutions are freshly
filtered before use), which refuses to wash out. Any ideas as to
what could be causing this? What is the purpose of the H2O2 rinse
anyway and can it be ignored?.

Today, I made a Pandan chiffon cake again as per my husband request. He bought the eggs, cake flour and coconut milk for me yesterday. With his assistance in weighing some cake ingredients, setting the oven's fire, preparing my mixer, I must say everything went pretty smoothly during the baking preparation today. I didn't even find so much problems in separating the egg yolks from the whites!
I used the same Pandan chiffon cake recipe as per my first attempt which can be found here. In my first attempt few months ago, everything went surprisingly pretty well. The cake rose high, tasted good and had very soft texture and strong Pandan smell. The main problem then was the cake presentation. My Mom-in-law commented that maybe the cake would have been better if I let it stayed in the oven bit longer. So from then on, I tried to put extra minutes when baking chiffon cakes to ensure the cake heated long enough.
Something apparently went wrong with my baking episode today. I had high confidence that my cake would be successful, since today was not my first time baking chiffon cake, until I realized when my husband and I took it from the oven, the cake didn't rise high. It did rise high inside the oven whilst I baked it but when we took it out, the cake just looked so shrunk. Half of the height of the chiffon cake that I once baked. Again, I had problems in getting it out from the tin despite the margarine that I layered in the tin before I poured the dough. Plus, the top part of the cake was still wet and I had to cut it out to salvage the cake and make it edible.
Thinking back, I might have done something wrong during the mixing or baking (apparently the oven fire was turned off for few minutes until my mom in law realized it and asked my husband to turn it on again) or covering the tin with too much margarine which caused more liquid in the dough when baked (resulting in less flour).
Short chiffon cake.
Unsuccessful Pandan chiffon cake baking attempt.
Anyway, after cutting the ugly part, luckily my husband's family still found the cake edible. These are what's left two hours after my husband sadly presented the cake to his family. Four slices as of now. I'm a bit comforted with this fact - that people still actually ate them. *Thanks to my husband for covering my baking mistakes in front of them*
Frankly, I was quite disheartened after today's baking disaster, which was normal I think. I called my Mom and told her about this. She said maybe it was the dough or the oven's fire problem. But she told me no need to worry about baking failures. No big deal about this. Just try bake again next time.
To conclude, I wanted to learn from mistakes especially when it involves baking. I went to the internet just now and tried to find out what caused my shrinking and wet cake. I discovered a useful link which discusses about secrets to anti-failure cakes. In the bottom of this article, there is a table explaining all the type of baking failures and many causes of them. Unfortunately, it's written in Bahasa Indonesia. I'll make translations on this one day.
Meanwhile, I should keep on telling myself to try again and try again. Failing is normal. Baking is never easy. It often involves big pots of luck, especially when it comes to baking amateurs.

(MORGAN-MONROE FOREST) - Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating a turkey hunting incident involving two brothers.
35-year-old Brian Irion, of Noblesville, and his 55-year-old brother David Irion,of Cicero, were turkey hunting this morning in the Morgan-Monroe State Forest.
The pair had been hunting together since sunrise and at approximately 9 a.m. they split up to hunt a single turkey. A short time later David mistakenly took Brian for the turkey and fired once, hitting Brian in the head and chest area with multiple shotgun pellets.
Due to their remote location, it took several hours before emergency responders could find the hunters. Brian was carried out of the woods by hand and loaded on an over-the-road vehicle and then and flown to Methodist Hospital by Air Ambulance at approximately 2 p.m
The hunting incident is being investigated by Conservation Officer Kevin Conner. Other assisting agencies include; Morgan County Sheriff's Office, Washington Twp Fire Dept, Martinsville City FD, Bloomington Twp FD, IU Heath Life Line Helicopter and ambulance, Rural Metro Ambulance Service, and DNR Property Staff.
The case will be turned over to Monroe County Prosecutors office for review to determine if any charges will be filed.

New for this year – I’m making the mashed potatoes today then tomorrow I’ll keep them warm in a slow cooker turned on low. I hope it works out well, because I really don’t like making potatoes the day of.
The family’s secret stuffing gets assembled today, too, since I’m not an in-the-bird stuffing chef, so all I have to do is put it in the oven an hour before the meal.
I’ve had discussions with friends about making the turkey today and slicing it all up, but I love the smell of it as it slowly browns in the oven on Thanksgiving Day. And I'd miss the carving performance by the men in the family.
A roasting turkey in the oven and Macy’s Parade on TV. It doesn’t get any better than that!
Any other shortcuts I should know about??

Last time I checked, water and electronics don’t go so well together. None the wiser though, Rune Larsen’s Nokia concept phone embeds a small layer of H20 just below the keypad with the intention of providing haptic feedback to the user. And I thought Blackberry’s click screen was a stretch.
One more pic after the ‘leap’
Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

US blues legend Johnny Winter has died in a hotel room in Zurich, Switzerland, aged 70.
"His wife, family and bandmates are all saddened by the loss of their loved one and one of the world's finest guitarists," a statement on his Facebook page read.
"Based on the initial elements of the investigation, it appears that this death was the result of medical reasons, and that nothing points to the involvement of another person," a police spokesman told AFP.
Winter, who was born with albinism, began playing the clarinet aged five, and switched to the ukelele and then the guitar a few years later.
According to his official website, he formed his first band when he was 14.
His big breakthrough eventually came in 1968 when Rolling Stone magazine dubbed him the hottest item after Janis Joplin in an article about the Texas music scene.
He went on to produce three Grammy award-winning albums with Muddy Waters in the late 1970s. Several of his own albums were also nominated for Grammys.
It is not yet known how the blues guitarist and singer died, but he had been due to release his new album in September.
His last performance was at the Cahors Blues Festival in France on July 14.

Extending the treatment as long as the hbsag is falling makes sense, even if it is beyond 60 weeks, if you can tolerate it. It is of cause also possible that the downward trend will continue even after ifn stop. There is not much else that you can do at this point, I assume your vit d levels are already optimized.
optimize your vit d levels as soon as possible and let us know the levels, too bad we dont have data on d levels and peg sides effects but i guess inflammatory state can be improved by vit d levels.also check that you have real virgin oliv oil in your diet since vdr attachment of vit d requires also oleic acid (gcmaf+oleic acid+vit d)
i d go for the 2 years of pegintf if you can tollerate tireness
Just think the decline/surface antigen kinetics had become slower and i had hoped that i would have seroconverted by now.
I have taken Vitamin D baseline test this week and had now added vitamin D3 5000iu/ml morning and night for the next two months which will bring intf to 60 weeks.
I will report the final result in two months time.
Regarding Intf beyond what i had approved (60 weeks), i don't think they will agreed to further extension.

AT&T Using Carmageddon To Boost Smartphone Use
Los Angeles residents and visitors facing "Carmageddon"--the weekend long shutdown of the 405 freeway between the 10 and the 101--not only have to look forward to grinding traffic and near-impossible ability to get between the Valley and the Westside, but might also be bombarded with text messages pointing them at navigation apps. AT&T said it is planning to send out text messages to "thousands of AT&T customers" within 25 miles of the Carmageddon area, to point users at smartphone apps like its AT&T Navigator application. The firm said that smartphone navigation aps will be "more popular than Angry Birds" this weekend. The push, and the use of any navigation app out there might not help much--at least not without a helicopter on call--as local roads are expected to be at a standstill, and alternative freeway routes saturated beyond capacity. AT&T said it would be sending out the messages Friday.

Sometimes we want pancakes! Sometimes we want (need) a Bloody Mary on a Sunday! Luckily our guest writer Julie Sheridan has the scoop on where to get excellent brunch in Barcelona
By Julie Sheridan
Spain, in general, has great nightlife. Barcelona and Madrid being big cities offer lots of reasons to stay out until 6am. If you get swept up in Barcelona’s party scene and find yourself hungover, keep these breakfast joints in mind for a slow Sunday recovery.
Marmalade – spread the word
I was going to save the best till last but sod it, let’s dive straight in.
By evening, Marmalade, a former furniture store at the top of the Rambla del Raval, looks like this. Plush leather sofas, classic wooden panelling and an art deco bar with some seriously funky feather uplighters.
Head there mid-morning of a weekend, however, and you’ll catch the place in an altogether different light. Ladies who brunch, out in force.
And not just ladies, either. Marmalade has earned a name for itself as the venue of choice for that hungry hiatus between breakfast and lunch, serving up generously sized portions of hot plates that consistently hit the spot.
On the menu of their aptly named ‘Recovery Brunch’ are salmon eggs benedict, Mexican omelettes with crème fraîche and diced potatoes, the classic British eggs-beans-and-bacon fry-up, piles of pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup, and varieties of hamburgers that will leave you reeling. Plus, with each main dish under 10 euros, the place offers really good value for money.
Best bit: it has an outside terrace, where you can get some fresh air to help the headache.
Downsides: brunch is only served Thursdays to Sundays, leaving you high and dry if you’re hungover on a Tuesday.
Stodge factor: 7 out of 10 (there’s fresh fruit, yoghurt and smoothies for any salubrious souls).
Curative powers: 10 out of 10. The ‘very berry banana smoothie’ is a particular elixir.
Address: Riera Alta 4-6, 08001- Phone: 934 423 966 -Website: www.marmaladebarcelona.com
Milk – down it in one
If you’ve been to Marmalade, the brunch menu at Milk, down in the deep dark Gothic quarter, may look slightly familiar. In fact, they’re identical – the two are sister restaurants, but whereas Marmalade restricts its brunch menu to the second half of the week, at Milk you can wolf down those eggs Florentine every day of the week.
Inside, it’s a cosy, lazy little den of a place, with chintz sofas, chill-out music and a free set of both local and foreign newspapers. Alongside the sizzling brunch menu, Milk’s main courses include burgers with names like ‘The Godfather’, beef fajitas and fish ‘n chips, so there’s plenty of choice when it comes to soaking up that excess alcohol.
Best bit: brunch is served every single day. Hooray.
Downsides: it’s extremely popular, so unless you get there early (which is unlikely when you’re hungover), you may need to wait for a seat. It doesn’t have Wi-Fi, either.
Stodge factor: 8 out of 10 (the main menu has its fair share of comfort food).
Curative powers: 10 out of 10. The comfy surroundings help soften that morning-after fear.
Address: Carrer d’En Gignàs 21, 08002 -Phone: 932 680 922 -Website: www.milkbarcelona.com
Dostrece – retro in the Raval
This quirkily decorated lounge bar in the Raval neighbourhood is known for its somewhat ‘alternative’ atmosphere and live music in the evenings. It’s got in on the brunch act too, serving up its take on the traditionally Anglo-Saxon feast on weekends between 11am and 5pm.
Together with eggs a-plenty and syrup-drenched pankcakes, Dostrece offers some wholesome deviations from your typical brunch fare, such as spinach salad with smoked salmon, avocado and cream cheese, or muesli with soya milk and honey. The energy smoothie (made from yoghurt, fruit and sunflower seeds) is a refreshing way to wash down your mid-morning pick-me-up. Or you could just opt for hair of the dog, of course, and sink a mimosa or two to accompany your French toast.
Best bit: the eclectic clientele offer plenty of opportunities for people watching.
Downsides: if you ask for mayonnaise, they charge you 50 cents extra. Honestly.
Stodge factor: 6 out of 10. Several healthy options are on the menu too.
Curative powers: 8 out of 10. Lots of choice to make sure you get what you’re craving.
Address: Carrer Carme 40, 08001- Phone: 933 017 306 -Website: http://dostrece.net
Julie Sheridan made the move to Barcelona from her native Scotland in Spring 2011, after 10 years living under Scotch mist in Edinburgh. Out of an innate love of making things difficult for herself she deliberately chose a part of Spain where she knew no-one and couldn’t speak the local language. Her blog focuses on the social and cultural differences between Scotland and Spain, Caledonia and Catalonia. Guiri girl in Barca is her site.

Bob Costas just can’t seem to shake his eye infection.
Costas will be sidelined for the second night in a row, and Matt Lauer will fill in as the host for NBC’s late night and prime-time Olympics coverage Wednesday, according to Jason McIntyre of The Big Lead. Costas missed Tuesday night after an infection in his left eye spread to his right eye over the weekend, forcing the host to wear glasses during his broadcasts. It seems Costas’ condition hasn’t improved, and the “TODAY” show host will take over Costas’ broadcasting duties again Wednesday night.
Costas has been the voice and face of prime-time coverage of the Olympics since 1988, and Monday night marked the first time he’d ever missed a shift.

I get a lot of clients come to me with similar situations and many are on the verge of giving up due to this frustration.
Fact is, you could be doing many things right. The design could be lovely, your content great, and you have products and services that people should want. But still no further towards your goals.
What could be going wrong?
Onibalusi ordered a critique for he YoungPrePro.com site and I think he is in the situation I described above. He has good traffic, he has subscribers, Twitter followers, Facebook fans. He has appeared as a guest writer on popular blogs.
His site actually looks great – much better than many.
If he is doing so many things right, why are few people taking up his offers? Why can’t he live the passive income lifestyle that he wants?
Looking around his blog you quickly discover three fundamental issues holding him back, plus a few less critical items. I will start with the foundational pieces:
Uniqueness or Point of Difference
The first thing we need to straighten out is there is an overwhelming sense of “been here before” about the blog.
This is one of the major problems with “doing all the right things” – if you only do what is expected or the “done thing” then why should anyone visit your site? It is just like all the rest. And the rest have been doing it longer and with more to talk about.
So we see
- Make money online content
- Income reports
- “Quit your day job” promises
- “how I make over $3,000 online monthly” ebook
We have seen it all before.
What is fresh? What is new? What will make us take notice?
A unique personality and back story is very important, and he has this going on. But we need more.
You need a hook.
- Be different
- Stand out
- … in a positive and beneficial way
Fill in the blanks in the following statement:
Unlike other _____ blogs, I ________ which means you benefit from ___________
This exercise will make sure you find a point of difference that has a compelling benefit for your audience. It’s not about what you do, what you talk about, it is what they get that they really want and need.
Outcome or Deliverable
Which brings us to the outcome or deliverable.
What is it you show people? What do people get from hanging around your site?
You need to really drill down and define your exact target reader. Who can you most help and who would you most want to work with?
- Do you know the motivating goals of your target audience?
- What is the mission your readers want help with?
- Why would people click through from your guest articles?
The header says “Helping Young Entrepreneurs Change the World” – is that really what your audience wants? Is that a compelling and specific benefit?
Big claims need big proof, which brings us to the next point …
All of the rest might not matter so much if there was strong proof to back up the claims.
Darren and I see messages all the time from people who follow this logic:
- People are making money blogging
- I want to make money blogging
- The big blogs I see making money blogging blog about making money blogging
- So I will start a make money online blog
- … and one day I will make money blogging
Is this familiar?
What is the crucial step they are missing out?
(Ignoring the fact there are a gajillion blogs out there claiming to help you make money online).
Yes, the problem is you are not going to be able to teach others to make money online until you have made some money online!
Look around at the popular blogs that talk about this stuff.
- I started out back in the mid 1990’s blogging in the programming and IT space. I spent 7 years working for top advertising, direct marketing and branding agencies before starting my own consultancy, and twice I ran online advertising networks.
- Brian was in real estate and is an expert copywriter. Jon Morrow, one of the editors at Copyblogger, also started out in Real Estate.
- Darren’s biggest blog is about photography (makes me feel sick that I sold my own photography blog, heh) and before that he had blogs on all kinds of subjects.
- John Chow has been running a tech site since 1998 and has an associated advertising network.
- David Risley also started with tech and computing stuff.
- Yaro started out with Magic the Gathering amongst other things.
Notice a trend? (Apart from the extreme geekiness, that is)
Yup, none of these folks started out with teaching “Make Money Online” … until they had made some money online!
Why Should Someone Learn this from YOU?
It comes down to WIIFM. What’s In It For Me?
There are all these choices and options out there, why should someone choose you?
What have you done that stands out? Something that someone else would want to learn.
I would say in the case of Onibalusi, there is something in the guest blogging – a great deal of workload and visible experience.
Instead though the claim is that you can help people make thousands of dollars a month! The earning reports are actually working against this claim because essentially Onibalusi has a writing job. My definition of job is where you work exclusively for one employer:
This is due to me signing a contract with my current client not to take additional writing job so for my blog to have brought me over 7 clients I think it is a business and I’m qualified to talk about making money online.
If it is true that you have turned work down, and we have no evidence or testimonials, then you have some credibility to show people how to get freelance writing work. This is a good market that tons of people are getting into every day. Perhaps you could negotiate with your current contract to allow some hours per week to work for other clients? Being exclusive to one company is very dangerous, I have been there and got burned by it when we parted company – don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
My point is, teach people what you demonstrably know.
You will get more attention, your credibility will grow, and your income opportunities will open up.
The blog looks great and you have done an excellent job of generating a traffic and audience through your guest blogging. Use your actual knowledge and experience as a strength and as a compelling hook, rather than try to come across as something you are not (yet!).
Share your unique point of difference, show how that will benefit your audience towards their goals, and back it up with proof!
What do you think? Was I too harsh? Do you have any other thoughts to share? Please let us know in the comments …

Since its inception, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has won 58 out of 60 arbitrations against athletes who have contested the agency’s sanctions. In federal court, USADA has never been beaten.
Justin Gatlin, a sprinter from Florida, enjoyed an ephemeral victory when he was granted a temporary injunction against USADA in June 2008 to lift his suspension for alleged doping so he could participate in the 2008 Olympic Games. The federal court, however, dissolved the injunction four days later because it found it lacked jurisdiction to intervene in USADA’s process. Gatlin v. U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, Inc., 2008 WL 2567657, *1 (N.D.Fla. Jun. 24, 2008).
Despite Gatlin’s brief moment of success, there is a lack of precedent of successful legal challenges to USADA. In 2004, Olympic runner Regina Jacobs sued USADA after it found that she doped. Her lawsuit challenged the rules governing the arbitration procedure, not whether USADA’s procedures were unconstitutional as Lance Armstrong now asserts. Jacobs v. U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, 04 Civ. 1163 (BSJ), 2004 WL 5003951 at *1 (S.D.N.Y May 19, 2004). Nevertheless, a federal court dismissed her lawsuit on grounds it lacked jurisdiction to involve itself in a USADA arbitration. Id. at *4.
Four years later, track coach Trevor Graham was sanctioned for allegedly providing steroids to athletes and he sued USADA on constitutional grounds. A federal court dismissed his lawsuit explaining that the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act gave USADA exclusive jurisdiction. Graham v. USADA, No. 5:10-CV-194-F, 2011 WL 1261321, at *6 (E.D. N.C. 2011)
Only two athletes have won against USADA in independent arbitration proceedings. Cyclist Jonathan Page was charged with a violation in 2008 for failing to submit a sample after a race in Belgium. The arbitration panel found he had “compelling justification” and that no sanction should be imposed because he was sick and suffered a concussion and other injuries in a race-ending crash. USADA v. Jonathan Page, AAA No. 77 190 16 09 JENF.
Sprinter LaTasha Jenkins also succeeded in contesting the agency’s sanctions in 2008. She had tested positive for an anabolic steroid metabolite. The arbitration panel found that her doping samples had been mishandled in the lab in contravention of the International Standards for Laboratories (ISL) and the results should therefore be set aside. USADA v. LaTasha Jenkins, AAA No. 30 190 00199 07.

Oops they did it again! It’s 2000, everybody’s scared of Y2K, and Google’s all dressed up like a sexually provocative over-tanned schoolgirl!! Nah, j/k guys, I’m talking about Google getting sued for copyright infringement. That’s what’s happening again. It’s definitely not that other stuff. But this time, Billboard reports, the case has a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ different going on. This time the lawyers are all up in arms about the company’s Google Music service, which launched in late 2011 and tiptoed out onto some shifting legal sands when it showcased artwork by Thiery “Mr. Brainwash” Guetta, who appropriated photos of Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane to make a newer, Googlier, more sueable piece of art.
If you saw the Banksy doc Exit Through the Gift Shop, you might recognize Guetta as a practitioner of “appropriation art,” in which photocopied images of another’s work get the “yo, I made this a different color” or “hey I stuck some more things in this picture of this one thing” treatment. And now Guetta has raised the ire of the estate of influential rock photog Jim Marshall by using his images of Hendrix and Coltrane. And since Google Music used Guetta’s art as a backdrop to announce their new service last year and allowed others to photograph said backdrop, thereby getting those images all up over the internet, the suits are pissed. The Marshall estate says all they want is to put a stop to willful copyright infringement and get their rightful profits back. It’s a tale as old as time, people; if we’ve learned nothing from late-90s anorexic shitfest Ally McBeal it’s that lawyers, music, and art… they do not mix.

No man in the world has more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut. ~Channing Pollock
Today I ate so much I thought my sides were going to split! really I did. I should have stopped when I was full but I didnt.
Tomorrow is another editing/writing day. Fingers crossed I get at least half done. Time in running out now. Still loving Aravind Adiga's Last Man in Tower- go out and buy it now if you are thinking about it- its a good one for the christmas list- you will be right there on the streets of Bombay!
In other news I need to get the Christmas shoping done- early I hate being lastminute.com - and I am entering my writing groups writing competition - a five hundred word pice - I have written - two . One entitle The Blue cardigan- a murder - the other - Stealing Mangoes - a comedy sketch set in Goa.
I will post them on here after some refinement. I have never written a short story before. It is pretty hard to stick to 500 words, and because it is so short I am not sure how meaty it should be- How meaty can it be?
nevertheless I did it because I have time- I normally never consider entering short story competitions- mmmmm would be good to get a critque on them either way - and a good way to kill some time!
until next time...

Certain people are attracted to certain styles of yoga for various reasons. Just as the color of your yoga mat can affect your practice, your favorite yoga style might say something about your personality.
The following is a fun, light-hearted list of yoga styles, and the personalities they attract.
This style of yoga is for those in need of some serious power relaxing, and not ashamed to admit it. For restorative yoga lovers, there is no guilt in shutting out the world with a lavender eye pillow and kicking back on a fluffy pile of blankets for an hour.
Active styles of yoga, such as power yoga, vinyasa yoga, Ashtanga yoga, attract the spirited sorts who are looking to improve athletically, and stretch their acrobatic skills.
Yoga in this category is seriously physical, but this is not to say there is no spiritual element to it. People who gravitate toward strength-oriented yoga classes often find spiritual inspiration through physical challenges. (more…)
Hatha yoga is one of those commonly misunderstood and misused words in yoga. Unlike Ashtanga, Bikram or Iyengar, which are specific styles of yoga, Hatha yoga is the umbrella term for what Westerners consider to be yoga. In truth, Hatha yoga is the actual physical practice of yoga, or the postures. Therefore, all yoga that involves asana or postures is hatha yoga.
What it is
Hatha comes from two Sanskrit words: ha meaning sun and tha meaning moon. Implied in its meaning is the idea of uniting opposites, like the sun and moon or yoga’s specific meaning of yoking the mind, body and spirit together. (more…)
Here are five of the most popular yoga classes and an introduction into the philosophy, history and style of each.
Ashtanga Yoga: One of the oldest form of yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, is Sanskrit for “eight limbs,” which represent the eight aspects of yoga as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. Even though Ashtanga yoga is believed to be 5,000 years old, if not older, its modern popularity is credited to Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, who in 1948, under the guidance of his guru, Krishnamacharya, created The Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India for teaching this specific style of yoga.
So everybody in your life, including your pregnant friend, 65-year-old mom and teen-aged niece, are all doing yoga. After listening to them extol the benefits that this ancient Indian practice has had on their stressed out minds and seeing the proof in their new lean yoga bodies, it is time that you discover firsthand what the yoga buzz is all about.
But before you lift off into a headstand in the middle of your kitchen, read our Beginner’s Guide to Yoga so that you’ll be in the know-how as you roll out your mat and join the millions of Americans practicing yoga. (more…)
Yoga is supposed to take away from the need of material things, but when it comes to your practice, there are a few essentials that even the most bendy and accomplished practitioners can’t down-dog without.
1). A solid yoga mat: You can get a yoga mat anywhere these days from Target to Walgreens to JCrew. But all mats are not created equal. If you’re an avid practitioner, invest in a good quality yoga mat. My favorite one is “Mercedes of all yoga mats,” or the premium black mat. Barefoot yoga sells it for about $80. (They also have more affordable, environmentally friendly mats.) It’s a bit pricey for a yoga mat but I guarantee, this one will last you for a lifetime! (more…)

Thanks, I must have misread. I read GoPro for 179.99 and got excited! I did not see it is the 960 model. Also, do you still see the HeadPlays on sale at Dell because I am not seeing them?
As far as GoPro quality, I don't think you'll find to many people who would argue with their great quality. You may want to look at another model than the 960 as it's standard definition if your looking for HD.

POLICE are investigating the cause of a collision that closed two lanes of Raglan Parade at the Morriss Road intersection heading west on Monday morning.
Leading Senior Constable Steve Parkinson said at 10am a 69-year-old Caramut man driving a white Holden Commodore collided with the back of Jeep wagon just before the intersection, causing it to spin around.
The Commodore then hit a third car, he said.
"His car had to be towed away," Leading Senior Constable Parkinson told The Standard.
"There will be some charges.
"If any witnesses saw the vehicle driving prior to the accident, please contact me at the station."
A MICA paramedic and ambulance attended but drivers and passengers involved in the collision were not seriously injured.
The driver of the Commodore was taken to hospital for observation.

Newcastle defender Habib Beye's appeal against his red card had been successful.
A Football Association regulatory commission had overturned referee Rob Styles' decision to send off the Senegal international for a trip on Manchester City's Robinho.
"As a result, Beye's one-match suspension has been withdrawn."
The 31-year-old will now be available for the local derby at Sunderland at the weekend.
He said: "I'm glad I can play against Sunderland because you enjoy playing in derbies - games like this are why you are a footballer.
"I'm very happy because I think it was a bad decision. But I can understand because he is human and when you are human, you can make mistakes.
"I got the ball and I could not believe it when he gave the penalty and the red card because I was sure I got the ball.
"You know as a defender when you have got the tackle. When I made that tackle, I was 100% confident I could get the ball."

Last week, as I indulged in my weekly dose of trashy reality TV with the premiere of The Bachelor (the most shocking Bachelor premiere yet!), I got to thinking about first impressions. Whether it’s falling in love or buying a bottle of wine, does appearance mean everything?
I’m often asked whether it’s OK to choose a wine based on the appeal of its label. We buy a lot of products because of eye-catching packaging; it’s something that designers and marketers count on. And in many situations, there is really nothing wrong with that. There are over 15,000 different wines in the U.S. market, so if you are in a store trying to decide which wine to buy and have no other information to go on, why not choose the bottle with the label that appeals to you the most?
It’s important to remember that appearances aren’t everything. Think about The Bachelor. Season after season, I am astonished by how easily our bachelor or bachelorette can fool him- or herself into thinking that good looks make up for a lack of substance. A pretty label on a bottle of wine is nice, but how the wine in the bottle tastes is another issue entirely. If you keep buying the same wine because it looks good but you really don’t enjoy it, you should start considering other factors. I’ve bought plenty of wines because, say, the winery has the same name as my son or there’s a cute animal on the label. But at the end of the day, if the wine in the bottle doesn’t have something to say, I won’t return to it.
So how can you tell if you have a bottle that’s all style and no substance, or a wine that has the making of a long-term relationship? For that, I suggest you consider the old adage “Love is blind.” Next time you are having a get-together with friends, ask everyone to bring two bottles of wine: one that is purchased based solely on the attractiveness of the label, and the other chosen for having as unappealing or boring a label as possible. Hide all of the wines in brown bags and have everyone take a small taste of each wine. Then rank them from best to worst. I’d be willing to bet that wines from both pretty and unattractive labels will be popular, and you will probably find that a grape variety (or grape varieties), the producer and the region matter more.
But that’s really the beauty of wine. It involves kissing a lot of frogs, or at least opening a lot of different bottles. There isn’t one magical soul mate of a wine for each person, but instead lots of different wines to enjoy over your lifetime. But to find the wines that you like, it is important to try a little bit of everything – from the wines that catch your eye to the ones that seem to sit shyly on the shelves waiting for someone to take a chance on them.
So go ahead and judge some wines by their labels, as long as you also try to keep an open mind and occasionally try something that is new or unfamiliar. You might just discover that there’s more to a bottle than meets the eye.

Farming chemicals cause kidney failure
Country´s largest company denies wrongdoing against ill workers.
More than 3,000 workers at a sugar plant owned by Nicaragua´s most powerful company have died from chronic renal failure since 1990 and a victims’ group says another 5,000 workers have since developed the condition for the company´s use of agrochemicals.
The San Antonio Refinery is owned by the Nicaragua Sugar Estates Limited, a part of Grupo Pellas, which produces Flor de Caña rum as well as ethanol and runs an electricity generator in Chichigalpa in the northern León department.
“In 1969, the Pellas family bought large pieces of land in this part of the country for sugarcane monoculture and liquor production,” Carmen Ríos, president of the Nicaraguan Association of Those Affected by Chronic Renal Failure, told Italian journalist Cristina Artoni. “All of us work in the food production sector. Starting in 1990, people started to die in the village the company had built for its workers, and they continued to die. We started to protest and we told Pellas to close the village. The number of deaths increased at an impressive rate.”
Ríos said that the Pellas family, originally from Genoa, Italy, settled in Nicaragua at the end of the 19th century and in 100 years “became the most important company in the country.”
She said its owner, Carlos Pellas, “says that he does not want to talk about paying damages, but we want to remind him that he is responsible for the reality that we’re living.”
Grupo Pellas denies any wrongdoing, accuses the sick workers of being alcoholics or drug addicts, and says that the illness is provoked by other causes. But a 2006 study by the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua, cited by Artoni, found that 95 percent of the 26 wells that serve the northwest of the country and close to 96 percent of the small family-only use wells are contaminated with feces, herbicides, bacteria and agrochemicals.
According to a recent investigation by the university, there is a possible cause-effect relation between the laborers´ work and kidney failure.
Dr. Cecilia Torres, an occupational health researcher at the university told the Latin American Regional Office of the International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers´ Associations that environmental neurotoxins, such as heavy metals — arsenic, cadmium and lead — and agrochemicals such as aldrin, chlorothalonil, maneb, copper sulfate, endrin and Nemagon, are major causes of chronic kidney failure in Nicaragua.
She said that the study was based on Health Ministry figures from 2005, where the rate of chronic kidney failure was one per 10,000 inhabitants. “We realized that this rate increased five-fold in the western zone, and shot up to 13 per 10,000 inhabitants in some municipalities,” she said.
Torres said that the highest rate of chronic kidney failure were in mining areas with 37 percent of the cases, 34 percent in farming, and 14 percent in coffee production.
“In the community of La Isla, in Chichigalpa, where most work on sugarcane plantations, the rate reached 41 percent, with 7 percent of the cases in the terminal stage,” she added.
Dr. Jesús Marín, director of the National Center for the Prevention and Control of Toxic Substances, a branch of the Health Ministry, said that since 1998, there has been a marked increase in chronic kidney failure cases, as well as in the number of deaths associated with the illness.
The Latin American Nephrology Association says that the average mortality rate for chronic kidney failure should be 130 patients per 1 million, but in León and in the neighboring Chinandega department, the death rate is 500 patients per 1 million, and in some municipalities the figure is triple that.
The figures brought back memories of banana workers affected by the use of agrochemical Nemagon, who sued transnational food giants Dole Food, Dole Chemical, Shell Chemical, Occidental and Standard Fruit.
In 2004, a US court ordered Shell Chemical and Dole Food to pay 81 campesina women US$82.9 million in damages for the use of the chemical. Three years later, a California court ordered Dole Food to pay $2.5 million to six banana workers from the Standard Fruit company — a part of Dole — after Nemagon exposure left them sterile. The court found the company guilty of negligence for hiding the damages that the pesticide caused to the reproductive system. Nemagon was banned in the United States in 1979 and two years later in Nicaragua.
The companies were found guilty by the Permanent Peoples´ Tribunal at the Americas Social Forum in Guatemala last October, in a non-binding but symbolic resolution. —Latinamerica Press. Compartir

When facing a tough opponent, Montville team goes out swinging
Finish. That is the word that the Montville 8U Travel Baseball team was told going into their game against Tri-Town.
After suffering an unfortunate 15-6 loss to Verona a few hours earlier, the players were told to "finish" and play until the very last out. Interestingly enough, the boys weren't able to finish. They didn't need to finish the six innings because the game's two hour time limit expired. Thanks to smart batting and steady hands, Montville defeated Tri-Town in four-inning game, 15-4.
Hunter Force started the game on the mound for Montville. After recording two early outs, Force found himself pitching with the bases loaded on one hit, a walk and hitting another player. Facing a full count, Force managed to strike out the batter to end the inning strong.
In the bottom of the first, Montville came out swinging. After Eli Kaufman walked in the lead-off spot, Michael Fedele and Neal Gupta both got on base with singles.
Luckily for Montville, a few errors on Tri-Town's part turned Gupta's single into a triple and a tied game into a 2-0 Montville lead.
After Montville let up four runs in the top of the second, the tone of the game completely changed.
Down 4-2, the Tri-Town pitching, which looked relatively strong in the first inning, started to struggle. With a series of walks and timely hits, Montville loaded the bases and loaded the bases a few times.
After retaking the lead, Montville ended the inning after scoring five runs for the 7-4 lead and did the exact same thing in the third.
Now up 12-4, Montville continued to stand strong and not let their lead get the better of them. After a few more walks and an RBI single by Jesse Kirschner, the game was called with the final score of 15-4.
Although it was the offense that scored the runs, the game would not have been as easy had it not been for the pitching and the defense that kept Tri-Town in check.
Throughout the game, Force, Kirschner, Fedele and Logan Force all took the mound for Montville. Led by Kirschner and L. Force, the four pitchers recorded a combined eight strikeouts while allowing only two hits and seven walks.
Currently 1-1, Montville played two games on April 13, against Park East and PV Sting.

Second World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies
Amman, Jordan, 11-16 June 2006
The Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies (RIIFS) is pleased to announce that it has been chosen to organize and host the Second World Congress for Middle Eastern Studies (WOCMES-2), which will take place in Amman, Jordan on 11-16 June 2006. This will be the first time that experts on the Middle East drawn from all over the world and all branches of the humanities and social sciences (including economics, political science, media studies and others) will assemble together in the region to share and exchange their research, experience and ideas, and to discuss the challenges of methodology vs. theory and praxis vs. politics and their possible resolutions. It promises to be an unprecedented event that will finally bring Middle Eastern studies to the Middle East.
The first WOCMES, held in Mainz, Germany, and was based upon an initiative of several Middle East Studies Associations, including the Middle East Studies Association of North America (MESA), the European Association for Middle Eastern Studies (EURAMES) and the German, British, French and Italian Middle Eastern studies associations (DAVO, BRISMES, AFEMAM, SeSaMO), as well as their equivalents elsewhere in Europe and the Arab and wider world. The event was an unqualified success, bringing together some 2,000 scholars and experts from 52 different countries to share and exchange their research, experience and ideas through 1110 individual presentations in over 400 panels, workshops, symposia and exhibitions.
RIIFS has extended invitations to all the institutions and organizations that took part in the First World Congress and requested that they inform their members about WOCMES-2 and consider how they may contribute to its success. In particular, RIIFS asks that they begin coordinating their 2006 activities, organizing panels, workshops, symposia and major conferences, under the WOCMES-2 umbrella with the WOCMES-2 Secretariat as soon as possible.
This invitation also applies to other associations, research centres, university departments, international organizations and institutions which did not take part in the First World Congress, but which are involved in the study of the Middle East, North Africa and the Muslim states of Central Asia in addition to those areas of the world directly or indirectly affected by developments in these regions. A call for papers from individual scholars has been sent out also.
Local and international media and high-ranking decision-makers involved in political, economic and cultural spheres are also expected to attend the Second World Congress and to disseminate, in the months that follow, the new ideas and interpretations that they encounter there. The working language of the congress will be English, with some French and Arabic.
Because the Second World Congress will actually take place in the Middle East, the cultural program is expected to be particularly rich. Organizers are presently considering two book fairs (Arabic/International) involving book-sellers, publishers and authors; exhibitions of modern Arab art by Jordan’s national and local galleries; other exhibitions related to various aspects of Middle Eastern studies; a film festival with panel discussions; and concerts featuring musicians from across the Arab world. The timing will also be advantageous since the weather will be pleasant and many academics will be on their summer break, leaving them with ample time to explore Jordan’s well-known tourist attractions (such as Petra, Jerash, Madaba and Mount Nebo), as well as those in neighbouring countries, during their visit to the region.
All registration for WOCMES-2 should be done on line by visiting the following website www.wocmes2.org . The dead line for early registration is 1 October 2005. This website is designed to accommodate the entire registration process – from payment of fees to the submission of abstracts for panels and papers – for those with internet access.
The Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies is proud to have been selected as the organizer for this unique academic event, which will strengthen and build regional and global networks for joint research. Please post the attached announcement where your colleagues can see it.
We hope that you will work with us to make WOCMES-2 a memorable and meaningful experience. Please direct all related correspondence to the WOCMES-2 Secretariat at firstname.lastname@example.org .
We look forward to hearing from friends and colleagues, old and new, in the coming months.

Chaouk shot dead in backyard
The head of an infamous Melbourne family allegedly involved in a bloody feud, Macchour Chaouk, has been shot dead in his Brooklyn home.PT0M0S 620 349
The area of Melbourne where crime family patriarch Macchour Chaouk was gunned down this morning was already becoming known as the city's "wild west".
The Chaouk family had allegedly become embroiled in a new gangland feud with a rival Lebanese clan from Melbourne's north, the Haddaras, resulting in a series of tit-for-tat incidents between the two groups.
The area's reputation for lawlessness intensified today with the death of the 65-year-old Lebanese immigrant, who is the latest Chaouk family member to meet a violent and bloody end.
Macchour Chaouk dead

It was at the same red-brick home in Brooklyn five years ago that Macchour's son Mohamed was shot dead by police when he allegedly attacked an officer with a samurai sword during a raid by Special Operations Group officers.
Just last month, Macchour was arrested at the fortress-like premises with two of his sons Omar, 18, and Waleed, 36, during a pre-dawn raid.
During the raid, police allegedly discovered a pump-action shotgun in a wall cavity, a loaded revolver in a woodpile and 36 blank passports.
Macchour and Waleed were released without charge pending further inquiries, while Omar was charged with five offences, including firearms offences. He has since been released on bail.
During his bail hearing last month, Omar Chaouk's lawyer Alan Swanwick argued his client should be released because he was needed to help protect his family.
Magistrate Fiona Stewart said at the time that was precisely why he should not be released on bail.
"I'm gravely concerned about Mr Swanwick's submission that he (Chaouk) is needed to help his family, which is under siege," she told the court.
"There is an ongoing war between two families and the court should be extremely worried about the danger posed to the community by it."
Last month's raid followed a drive-by shooting in June in nearby Altona, in which Sam Haddara, 18, was shot in the face while sitting in a car. He survived the shooting but required extensive surgery.
Sam is a cousin of Mohamed Haddara, 28, who was shot dead in Fifth Avenue, Altona North, on June 20 last year.
The Haddara family at the time vowed that they would avenge the death of the father of two, whose wife was heavily pregnant when he was killed.
In June, detectives charged Chaouk relative Ahmed Hablas, 21, with Mohammed Haddara's murder.
After last month's raid, Superintendent Doug Fryer said that despite the violence between the rival groups, police believed they were controlling the situation.
"We would like to send a clear message to any of those involved in this sort of activity that certainly any sort of shooting is absolutely unacceptable and we have the resources and the capacity to make a difference and solve those crimes," he said at the time.
Macchour's son Matwali is on remand charged with firearms offences, while another son, Ali, was last month refused bail over a brutal bashing which left a German tourist with a fractured skull.
Victorian Supreme Court Justice Betty King said she had serious concerns about bailing Ali, 30, saying: "His family connections don't assist him at all".
In denying bail, Justice King told the court the "war" with the Haddara family was continuing and noted "shots have been fired on both sides".
She said if Ali was released on bail, the war could escalate.

Why do you think that the only way of reaching human 'level' AI (gosh,

To my theory the neurons are using chemicals to communicate (synapses)
and digital computers use only one type of electricity (except in
optical computers that use different colors of light), so you can't
quite say that is digital. Also the neurons are using amplitude
controlled gates, amplifiers and other amplitudal stuff that is in the
very core of being "analog".

Third International Conference on Financing for Development
OSAA-OECD high-level side event on leveraging pension funds for financing infrastructure development in Africa
Introductory remarks by Angel Gurría, Secretary-General, OECD
15 July 2015
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
(As prepared for delivery)
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is my great pleasure to be here with you today at this critical juncture for financing development. As we will discuss ways of channeling institutional investment into infrastructure, let me first underline:
The impact of smart investment goes beyond private interests. Investing in infrastructure—especially social infrastructure—can connect communities, enhance social cohesion and make economic growth benefit the people. Yet, as the demand for infrastructure increases with growth, trade and urbanisation, developing countries are struggling to meet their infrastructure needs.
Given the scale of the funding gap, government budgets—traditionally the major source of financing for infrastructure—cannot be expected to finance alone infrastructure development. The OECD estimates that globally, annual infrastructure investment needs will average 3.5% of GDP through 2030. Cumulative investment of USD 53 trillion in low-carbon energy supply and efficiency will also be needed by 2035 to ensure that the goal of holding global warming below 2⁰C is achieved.
However, low income countries, including many African economies, have yet to effectively attract private investment into national infrastructure networks: over the past two decades, 37% of public-private infrastructure projects have been conducted in lower middle-income countries, and only 4% in low income countries.
On the financing side, big corporations- normally a major source of investment infrastructure, are hoarding cash in these uncertain times. In OECD countries, only 8% of FDI inflows received in 2010-12 ended up in infrastructure sectors, as opposed to more than 10% in 2007-2009. Another source of infrastructure investment, the banking sector, is now subject to stronger regulations, which can in some cases impede its ability to channel capital into long-term investment destinations.
At the same time, institutional investors, including pension funds, own USD 93 trillion in assets in OECD countries alone, and infrastructure should be a natural destination for such long-term capital. This is not happening in practice, as less than 1% of pension funds are invested in infrastructure and only a small part of it is devoted to low-carbon projects.
As one could expect, Africa barely features on the radar screen of this 1% as an investment destination. However, given the low interest rate environment and volatile stock markets, institutional investors from both OECD and emerging economies might be increasingly interested in long term, inflation protected returns from real productive assets such as infrastructure. As pension funds are also rapidly growing in African countries in particular in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, they could also become a substantial source of financing for local projects.
On the other side of the equation, the policy environment for infrastructure investment is not sufficiently enabling, undermining investor confidence even when the necessary finance is available. Investment liberalisation is an unfinished business: the OECD FDI Restrictiveness Index shows that, in the 58 countries covered, utility markets are still more closed to foreign investment relative to the rest of the economy. More could also be done to level the playing field between state-owned enterprises and their private competitors.
On the trade side, the recent OECD report “Overcoming Barriers to International Investment in Clean Energy” shows that local-content requirements are hampering international investment in clean energy infrastructure. Improving the framework conditions will thus also be critical to unlock private investment in developing countries’ infrastructure.
We have just recently updated the OECD Policy Framework for Investment, which provides an action-oriented checklist for governments to assess their investment climates. It focuses on how a supportive environment reduces the costs and risks of investing, notably in infrastructure. The PFI shows us that the investment climate is affected by many factors, including political stability, rule of law and property rights, government regulations, transparency and accountability, and enforceable contracts. The existence of a stable and predictable environment in which both domestic and foreign investors can operate is vital for providing investors with confidence.
We have used the PFI in over 30 countries, including seven economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, to support regulatory reform. On top of this, the 15 member states of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) are working with the OECD on a multi-year programme aimed at developing a regional Investment Policy Framework (IPF) based on the PFI. With the updated PFI, we hope to strengthen further our engagement with Africa.
Institutional investors also face specific barriers to long-term investment, such as the lack of appropriate financial vehicles as well as a dearth of data on this sector and related opportunities in low income countries. This situation is particularly stark in Africa, where equity market capitalization is low, and stock markets – which exist in only a third of Sub-Saharan African countries – are often shallow and illiquid.
From the home country perspective, regulations preventing institutional investors from investing non-rated projects in their balance sheets represent another obstacle, as only a minority of African countries have an investment grade. But there are efforts aimed at unlocking some of these obstacles and the OECD is working with institutional investors and their regulators on addressing them. In particular, the G20/OECD High-Level Principles on Long Term Investment Financing by Institutional Investors set out policy recommendations aiming to mobilise institutional investor assets for long-term investment without diluting prudential safeguards.
Fundamental reforms thus appear necessary if we are to see a significant increase in infrastructure investment. There is no way around and no short-cuts to improve the domestic investment climate. The OECD is working directly with countries and regional groupings towards that end, using comprehensive tools such as the PFI as well as partnerships such as the NEPAD-OECD Africa Investment Initiative or the SADC-OECD Regional Investment Policy Guidance to be released next week.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Let me conclude by highlighting the catalytic role that Official Development Assistance (ODA) can play to help developing countries enhance their framework conditions for infrastructure investment and to leverage, through pooling and blending mechanisms, institutional investment. ODA reached a record high of USD 135.2bn in 2014 and will remain a crucial resource to help the poorest nations.
The OECD thus stands ready to continue working with African governments and donors on promoting the policy changes that can enhance infrastructure investment at the required pace and scale.

That is a very good question. He is not accusing ME of slander, but is
holding me responsible because it is my list. It also happens to be my
server, though I doubt he knows that. I wonder if it makes any difference
if the list is hosted on a server I own?

Nice points. I lean toward the the 'contract printer' analogy. The list is
unmoderated, though I do step in from time to time. In the beginning I
read every post, but now that I have more/larger lists I don't have the

I can't see what the list member's promise would be. My duties are fairly
clear, but the member is under no obligation to do anything. The only
bounds imposed on the member are stated in the list charter.

I would have to say yes. Each member (even the lurkers) add to the value
of a list. Of course the value is really passed directly to the other list
members instead of the list owner. I think it is safe to say that most
lists owners are not active on all of their lists. At the beginning
perhaps, but it seems to me most list owners end up keeping the peace
from the sidelines (with exceptions of course).

The only hint of a contract is the charter, which the member agrees to
when she joins the list. If I find a charter objectionable, I will not
zubscribe. If the member then breaks the rules, she breaks whatever
contract may exist.

Do you agree though that I can decide who can and cannot participate on my
lists? For this discussion we can easily put race aside, one of the
benefits of text based communications. Gender is still an issue, though I
write to many people with no idea of their gender/age/race, etc. For
example, who might "firstname.lastname@example.org" be? (BTW I just made that up).

..and list owners apprehensive. Perhaps some of us would jump at the
chance to get bogged down in a law suit. I would rather spend time on

| | BB v. Nokia N900
Please Login to Remove!
I had a curve 8310 OS 4.5 and bought the 9700 but didn't like the new column view parameters for the internet. I ended up getting a Bold 9000 but still wasn't happy with the internet. So I bought the Nokia N900 and the internet is mind blowing. Just mind blowing. That is its strength. It runs the new Meamo 5 OS so not even Google Mobile is available yet. But you can use Ovi Maps - Bing from the browser, put Gmail through the email client, etc. so you can make the device doable. The mail isn't as fast as BB - nobody pushes mail like RIM. But the mail is good.
I was so happy with it I got it a contract from T-Mobile - AT&T will offer it no 3G support. And taking the SIM in and out from device to device was no way to live.
I don't see one device meeting my needs right now... I am very happy with the N900 but still see a need for my Bold 9000. The BB's are vey good for fast communication. I also don't want to walk away from AT&T - I don't know how good T-Mobile is as a carrier yet.
So right now...I rock both of them!
Just thought I'd pass along my experience with it...

Rush's Morning Update: Weak
March 15, 2010
Watch It! Download Morning Update Video in QuickTime
A recent Third Way poll reaffirmed what we already know: Democrats are perceived as weak when it comes to national security. Adding insult to injury, another study-- to be published in The Journal of Women, Politics, and Policy -- shows that when Americans are more concerned about terrorism, support for Congressional Democrat women drops dramatically. That's a real challenge... since voters can find it hard to tell the difference between Democrat men and Democrat women sometimes.
With November elections looming, Democrats have decided on a course of action, though.Literally. They have begun training courses to teach House Democrats how to appear to be "tough" on security when they talk tothe peopleback home.
California's Jane Harman, one of the Democrat "leaders" on intelligence issues, is instructing some of her fellow House members what to say. Harman told Politico: "The Democratic approach on security-- or at least my approach-- is that we know how to be tough and smart, not tough and reckless... for some Democrats, this is difficult."
Virginia Democrat Gerry Connolly, who took Harman's "tough talk" course, gave an example of what he learned. Instead of saying: "I'm going to defend American values," he now says: "I'm going to fight for American interests abroad!"
Uh, memo to Democrats: Go ahead. Take this stupidclass. Use your new script. But your actions still speak louder than your words. And your anti-war, pro-terrorists actions are on the record. You'reweak, and nothing will change that, and November is still coming... nomatter whatyou do!

Mizuno Exodus 3/4 Tight
The subtle accent of color down the sides offers a stylish complement to the Nirvana tee without being overtly matchy-matchy. The polyester-spandex blend material is moisture-wicking, and the tights also have mesh inserts for better breathability. Bonus: The easily sunburned will appreciate the tight’s UPF 40+ rating.

From our partners at The Agonist
News of the massacre of civilians at Houla in Syria on Friday has outraged all right-thinking people. Despite Syrian official denials of responsibility and news that civilian pro-Assad militias were responsible for what has been called an “appalling and brutal crime”, the Assad government is being held directly accountable.
Rightly so. The Syrian government is the body responsible in international law for ensuring the safety and security of its citizens and all the buck eventually stops there, no matter who actually carried out this atrocity. Either every attempt must be made to ensure “Those responsible for perpetrating this crime must be held to account,” as the UN statement put it, or Assad and his officials must be.
But the many calls for regime change fuelled by the news of this massacre are a step too far, and when coming from the West hypocritical to boot.
ISAF, led by NATO which is in turn led by the US, is the security mandate holder for Afghanistan. Just like the Assad government’s final responsibility for the safety of its civilians, the final buck for the safety of Afghan civilians stops at the White House – technically, no matter who does the killing, but especially when US forces themselves are responsible for outrageous crimes.
Just today, six children and two women were killed by an ISAF airstrike. As usual, NATO denied the killings – and just as usual, NATO will subsequently admit them and pay a modicum of compensation. It’s hardly the first such massacre or even the most outrageous. In 2009 a US night raid killed eight children in cold blood. In 2010, US forces in another night raid shot three pregnant women, dug the bullets from their bodies with knives and tried to blame insurgents. No one was ever prosecuted for either of these war crimes. U.S. Special Operations Forces killed well over 1,500 civilians in night raids in less than 10 months in 2010 and early 2011 and of the 739 children killed in Afghanistan in 2010 over 120 were directly attributable to NATO action. Atrocities committed by the US-led coalition in Afghanistan are at least on a par with those committed by the Assad regime. Yet the number of people charged with crimes, let alone given any kind of meaningful sentence once convicted, is miniscule in relation to the number and size of “appalling and brutal” crimes. The citizens cannot even hold the criminals accountable through their own legal system, since the US and its allies insist on immunity from local prosecution.
Them’s just the facts.
The number of governments calling for UN sanctions, weapons-running to opposition groups and regime change in the US or UK? None.

8 Duluth Businesses now BFBs
This post comes to us from Shawna MullenEardly, active transportation coordinator at Duluth Area Family YMCA, Healthy Duluth Area Coalition, who was part of a team who encouraged and assisted eight Duluth, Minn.-area businesses apply and receive a Bicycle Friendly Business designation this round. Read more about the latest round of Bicycle Friendly Business awardees here.
Eighty new and renewing businesses were designated as Bicycle Friendly Businesses in this round of the League's program -- with 10% of awards going to just one community! At the westernmost tip of Lake Superior, eight businesses in Duluth, Minn., were awarded a Bicycle Friendly Business designation by the League. These businesses are the first, hopefully of many, to receive the award in Duluth.
Photo by Bryan French
During late summer of 2013, the Healthy Duluth Area Coalition partnered with our Greater Downtown Council to survey downtown businesses on their perception of how bicycling affects business. Much to our delight, there were over 70 respondents to the survey. This initial assessment helped identify which businesses to reach out to, as well as gauge general support of bicycling and learn how businesses are currently supporting bicyclists.
The overwhelming response from businesses was that they would support infrastructure improvements such as bike lanes, better public bicycle parking, parklets, and on-street bicycle corrals. Aside from sparse bike parking, Duluth does not currently have any of these amenities in the downtown area. Nearly 80% of survey respondents indicated that they thought these amenities would cause their business to either increase or stay the same. One business owner said of parklets, “[It would] get tourists and business workers out into downtown and boost local businesses and the overall Duluth image.”
While we were excited for the overwhelming business support of bicycling, Duluth still has a lot of work to do: while over 50% of respondents indicated they have employees who bike to work, over 75% of respondents do not have any incentives for bike commuters, and over 50% have no supportive amenities.
However, over one-third of respondents expressed interest in hosting a safe bicycling class for employees, learning more about incentive programs, or learning more about the League’s Bicycle Friendly Business program. Thus, recognizing what businesses are already doing with a Bicycle Friendly Business award is a crucial part of facilitating the culture change we hope to see.
These eight businesses have paved the way for numerous others who we hope to see gain Bicycle Friendly Business designation.

A South Wales health board has been criticised for the treatment given to a cancer patient after failing to give him a reasonable standard of personal care.
The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales upheld a complaint from the family of a 59-year-old man who was treated at Swansea’s Morriston Hospital before his death from metastatic carcinoma in March 2012.
The family of the man, referred to in the report as Mr B, complained about a number of aspects of his care by ABMU Health Board after he first visited the emergency department in February 2012 complaining of lower back pain, pain in his right testicle which was radiating down his right leg and blurred vision.
The family claimed that despite Mr B’s complaints of severe pain, there were issues with the diagnosis and investigation of his condition.
They also complained about his treatment in the Emergency Department, his subsequent discharge from hospital and his personal care. They also said the health board took too long to perform spinal surgery on Mr B and that he had “suffered unnecessarily”.
The Ombudsman upheld the family’s complaint and recommended that the health board apologise and pay £1,500 in recognition of the distress caused.
It also recommended a review of certain areas of care and staff re-training.
A spokeswoman for ABMU Health Board apologised to the family for the shortcomings in care.
They added: “Triaging patients effectively and providing adequate and timely pain relief are extremely important, and we have since taken significant steps to improve these aspects of our care.
“There have been considerable changes in the Emergency Department at Morriston Hospital over the last two years, including major triage and pain management improvements.
“The department has increased the numbers of nurses and further increases in the number of triage nurses are planned shortly. A nationally-recognised triage system has been introduced to ensure patients’ conditions are assessed as accurately as possible.
“There has been a big focus on improving pain management, and staff now have much easier access to pain relief medication to ensure patients are treated more rapidly.”

This green paper was published by the Australian government's Department of Climate Change. The foreward states,
"There is no single solution to winning the fight against climate change. But the economically responsible approach is to reduce Australia's carbon pollution while building long-term economic prosperity in a lower carbon economy.
The Government's climate change strategy is based on three pillars:
- reducing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions
- adapting to climate change that we cannot avoid
- helping to shape a global solution."

In previous articles I’ve spoken about how the pace of change is accelerating, and how for many people (and organizations) things are changing so fast that they feel overwhelmed and that things may be changing faster than some of us humans are able to absorb. I’ve spoken about how we are in the middle of a period of discontinuity thrust upon us by the rapid advances in computing and mobile connectivity that have put a supercomputer in everyone’s pocket and a target on most organizations’ backs.
Why are things changing so fast?
Is it that we’ve hit some sort of inflection point never achieved before in human history that is allowing us to innovate and displace the status quo faster than ever before?
Have we reached some sort of perfect storm where the innovation curve has gone vertical and the singularity will be here tomorrow?
So if we are not necessarily innovating faster than ever before or destined to reach the singularity tomorrow and become one with machines, then what is creating the feeling that things are changing more rapidly?
Changing Customer Expectations
It feels as if the world is changing faster than ever before because the expectations of our customers and our expectations as customers are changing faster than ever before. Why?
Because we as consumers are seeing better customer experiences enabled by digital technologies in parts of our personal lives and more efficient and effective business processes in parts of our business lives, we are now expecting every organization (not just companies) and every aspect of that organization to deliver an efficient, effective experience and information exchange in whatever channel we choose, whenever we want to experience it.
This incredible change in expectations is being thrust upon all organizations simultaneously and threatening the very existence of entities that have existed for dozens or even hundreds of years. This discontinuity has created immense technical debt for organizations large and small to overcome and the only way for an incumbent organization to recover and to survive in this new digital age will be to undergo a complete digital transformation.
This doesn’t mean creating a digital strategy to address one part of the organization or a single constituency, but a path to a complete transformation that brings digital approaches to both every part of the organization and its operations, but also to all of its constituencies, at the same time. This means re-imagining every system, every policy, every procedure, and every process as a digital native organization looking to enter and disrupt your industry might, and then make a plan for transforming yourself. This will require IMMENSE amounts of change, and is no small task given the 70% change failure rate, but it is the key to your organization’s survival.
The problem is that the organizational change thought leadership status quo isn’t up to the task of planning and executing the scope and scale of change required for existing organizations to survive the digital evolution underway. A new set of tools is needed. My new book Charting Change and the accompanying Change Planning Toolkit™ were designed to inspire a change revolution to free people from the tyranny of the blank word document and poorly planned change efforts.
Because the challenge we face is not a static one. Organizations that focus on catching up to where the customer is today and wedging their efforts into existing budget constraints are those that will find themselves falling further behind the curve of changing customer expectations.
No longer is it a victory to be seen by customers as ‘best in class’. No, now customers are expecting every organization to be ‘world class’. This means that increasingly customer satisfaction will be achieved only by providing one of the best experiences in the world. Talk about changing expectations!
And so given the time to develop new technology solutions, you should be aiming not to incrementally improve your current experience to get closer to the leaders in your industry, but instead investing in a solution that will anticipate what the best customer experience allowed by technology 12-18 months from now and start building that instead.
It’s Economics 101 all over again. In today’s reality, as most organizations seek to move up the customer experience supply curve, the customer experience demand curve is constantly shifting outward, leading your share of the market to wither and die unless you make the strategic investment required to actually shift your customer experience (CX) supply curve outward as well.
I’ve tried to capture the scenario in the figure above titled ‘Why the Pace of Change is Accelerating’. Most organizations when they see at Time0 that their level of customer experience is below Customer Expectations0 they invest in projects to increase their CX Supply0 up the CX Supply curve to CX Supply1 thinking that they will then be meeting the customers’ level of expectations at Time1. But that’s not how it works in the digital world of today, as customer expectations are changing (shifting upward) just as fast as the technology used to create better customer experiences. So, organizations that invest in moving up the CX Supply curve to catch up with current customer expectations find themselves continuously falling short of future customer expectations.
The reason nearly every organization follows this approach of climbing the CX Supply curve to close the gap on customer expectations is usually financial. Most managers are forced (or compelled) to try and close the gap with existing budgetary resources and by creating a digital strategy as part of these efforts. Very few organizations have visionary leaders willing to invest in a digital transformation and fundamentally re-think the architecture and capabilities the organization needs to successfully compete in a digital age. Very few organizations see how to properly use technology to fulfill the mission of the organization and to exceed customer expectations, and as a result create a shift outwards in the CX Supply Curve itself.
Choosing not to digitally transform your organization, creates the space in the market for new digital native organizations to enter and establish a beachhead and attack the incumbents.
At the same time, as our world and organizations continue to digitize this will result in decreasing variable costs and increasing fixed costs, leading to increased consolidation in many fragmented industries. Those organizations bold enough to invest in shifting their customer experience supply curves outward by undergoing a true digital transformation will improve their position to be a buyer instead of a seller as this consolidation occurs. So the real question is…
If we are living in an era of survival of the digital fittest, which side of the digital evolution do you want to be on?

This is a guest post by Jim Farmer. Jim is Chairman of instructional media + magic.
Analysis of data recently released by PayScale Inc. and published in Bloomberg Business Week show starting salaries for graduates of Party Schools begin fifth of seven sectors moving up to third place by mid-career. Party Schools have a rate of salary increase exceeded only by graduates of Ivy League universities:
The data comes from 611,000 surveys completed as profiles on the PayScaleWeb Site.
PayScale also has data by college major and job title. This has been matched with data about U.S. colleges and universities from the U.S. Department of Education’s IPEDS surveys and colleges costs from the College Board. Bureau of Labor Statistics costs of living may also have been the source of data used for cost of living by city or state.
The rates of increase from starting to mid-career may be a better, though questionable, proxy for the quality of collegiate education.
These data could be cited supporting the view that graduates from Liberal Arts have lower starting salaries—bottom of the list—but increasing rapidly during their career.
These are aggregate statistics; the starting salaries and increases depend upon the individual student and student choices. PayScale offers disaggregated data for specific colleges and areas of study on their Web site (wwww.payscale.com). The data for an individual profile or specific college or university and area of study would be more reliable than the aggregated statistics given here.
Evaluating the value of higher education solely on the return of investment to the student may be limiting. Responding to these data, Pat Pike, interim provost and vice-provost for education at Biola University, writes: “If monetary Return on Investment (ROI) were the main purpose of education, most of us would make different career decisions. Biola’s education is not primarily about money. If you calculated the ROI for the society of a Biola education, compared to the average, it would be huge. The services and benefits accruing to the nation and the world from Biola alumni far outweigh the cost of the Biola education. When you focus on the wider picture of the impact alumni make in their community and across the world to serve (primarily in nonprofit and service-oriented organizations), you have greater rationale to praise the value of Biola education.” “Biola University is a nationally ranked private Christian university located in Southern California [LaMirada].”
Data for the tables was developed from PayScale data for 852 “most popular” colleges and universities. The data was prepared for Bloomberg Business Week and can be found at http://www.businessweek.com/interactive_reports/bs_collegeROI_0621.html

Review: Ed Harcourt
Brewhouse - November 5. There's a problem being a lone troubadour touring without a band. How do you fill a 2 hour slot and keep the audience enthused? Do you bring out the cannons and fireworks? (It is after all bonfire night). Do you have sequined clothing and go- go dancers? Or do you bring with you a shed load of microphones and "all the devil's instruments"?
Ed Harcourt chooses the later and boy does it work! Opening with "Lustre", which is the title track of the new rather excellent album, we are treated to a glimpse of what's to come. Ed moves between his song mic to one that turns his lone vocal into achoir of harmony. The effect is stunning.
But it's not all about the microphones and technology. Ed has a bag of new tunes up his sleeve that are the best of his career. No one is disappointed by a set that is new tune heavy. Having only listened to the new album a couple of times the songs already feel like old classics and to be honest they far outshine the older tunes on display this evening.
Harcourt is something of a multi-instrumentalist moving easily from piano to banjo to guitar (left and right handed) to drums and...trombone. Yes the "devils instruments" as he names them are all here. One wag in the audience points out that there's no violin. Ed disputes the violin as being one of Satan's - although a fellow with song titles such as "Lustre" and "Lachrymosity" is surely aware of the countless literary accounts of Lucifer's skill on the fiddle.
The highlights are too many to pick out but "Misguided" is amazing - Harcourt looping instruments into a frenzy that starts by sounding like Tom Waits and ends up as a glorious (and he'll hate me for saying this) Bono-like mad preacher rant.
They say the devil has the best tunes. Well, if so, Ed Harcourt is sitting at the top table in purgatory.

This Week in DVD & Blu-ray is a column that compiles all the latest info regarding new DVD and Blu-ray releases, sales, and exclusive deals from stores including Target, Best Buy and Fry’s.
GLEE (SEASON 1)
A year—that’s all it took for my opinion on Glee to change from “yay” to “bleh”. Last time I wrote about the series, Fox had preemptively released a Vol. 1 DVD release/cash grab for the show, and at the time, my enthusiasm for Glee was at its peak. Then the show’s sugar high wore off, and left me with a repeat of tiring romances and routine sad-funny character subplots. The first half of the season—”The Road to Sectionals”, as it’s referred to on the DVD—had an upbeat yet insidious charm to it, and its cynical undertones (turned into deliciously hate-filled overtones by Jane Lynch) kept the otherwise cheerfully formulaic material feeling fresh. And after bringing many of the subplots to a satisfying close, it seemed like the show writers were planning to change up the story and character relationships just in the nick of time. Instead, they sought out frustrating ways to negate any progress that the story had made in order to unenthusiastically recycle subplots that had since grown bland. And perhaps this is just a result of my waning interest, but by the end of the season, the series’ much-needed edge had been lost as well. My (shameful) suggestion: stick to the Vol. 1 release, and wait out the rest of the season until you stop caring.
Available on Blu-ray? Yes.
Notable Extras: DVD & Blu-ray – Extended episodes, a sing-along karaoke, behind-the-scenes of “The Power of Madonna” episode, Glee Makeovers, never-before-seen “Sue’s Corners” and a dance tutorial titled “Staying in Step with Glee.”

It’s a big week for Werner Herzog fans. His new documentary, the 3D-shot Cave of Forgotten Dreams, will soon screen at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the first images have been revealed. (Above, for example.) And My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?, the film he made with David Lynch producing, is hitting DVD in a couple weeks, so Herzog is doing the press rounds talking about that movie.
Some of the ensuing interviews are traditional press, in which he revealed that he’s got plans for at least two new films: a desert epic and a film set in a Texas maximum-security prison. And the director has spent this afternoon answering fan questions submitted via Twitter, with the video answers posted to YouTube. Read More »
Oh, I’ve been waiting for this one. Werner Herzog has recently completed not one film (Bad Lieutenant) but two, the second being the David Lynch-produced My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done. Both are going to show up at the Toronto International Film Festival next month. And now My Son has a trailer that is…well, just watch this sucker, after the break. Read More »
I first read about David Lynch and Werner Herzog’s upcoming collaboration at the time of last year’s Cannes festival, before Herzog had even commenced filming on his upcoming Bad Lieutenant do-over. Back then, all that was known was the basic premise: a man believes himself in a Sophocles play and, accordingly, slaughters his mother with a sword. Scenes of the murder will be mixed into the plot line as flashbacks and we’ll get to know the killer very well indeed. I’m assuming the play is Electra, but I may be wrong.
It was also assumed then that Lynch would be the director; now it has been announced that Werner Herzog will be the man in charge. Indeed, Lynch’s role is a rather minor producing engagement. Further to this, we know who is lining up for roles and for the most part, it’s just the crew you might expect.
Michael Shannon, Udo Kier, Grace Zabriskie, Willem Defoe and Chloe Sevigny all have roles, Shannon presumably as the son and Zabriskie as the mother. Screen Daily carry the announcement – most of the names they name are newly associated to the project.
Shannon has been nominated for an Oscar this year for his supporting role in Revolutionary Road. There’s nothing really wrong with his performance but I can’t throw my weight behind the accolade. It isn’t his fault, but his role is so ill-conceived, mechanical and unresolved – he’s just a walking cliche there to “illuminate truths” and facilitate the plot, slightly (my quote marks crucial, because the part is neither illuminating, nor are these truths anything more than observations the audience is more than capable of making by themselves).
Shannon has made something of a speciality out of playing the mentally troubled/troubling, with Bug, Revolutionary Road and now this. His more “sane” roles have garnered far less attention, so maybe it’s less external typecasting than a short-term careerist move? Let’s see what he starts lining up in the future.
Shannon also apparently worked with Herzog on the recently-completed Bad Lieutenant film, though for some reason the imdb don’t seem to know this.
Filming on My Son is due to kick off in March, in the Coronado Island region of California though some filming is also due to take place in Peru.
Herzog attests to his interest by saying “I always wanted to make a horror film, but not with bloody axes and chain-saws. An anonymous fear should rather creep up at you.” I think Herzog has made at least two horror films in the past: his remake of Nosferatu, most obviously; Even Dwarves Started Small more controversially.
There’s nothing anonymous about the son, so I suppose this fear Herzog references is elsewhere contained in the film – in the creeping madness that overtakes him perhaps.
With My Son alongside Lars von Trier’s Antichrist, Defoe sure has a nice little pair of off-mainstream horror films coming; and with the Spierig Brothers’ Daybreakers, a hopefully just as nice, in the mainstream one too.

San Juan Soccer Club coaching director Billy Wiskel is one happy guy.
His prestigious youth club has been accepted as a member of the United States Soccer Federation's Development Academy program, one of 77 such boys clubs across the nation and the only one in the Sacramento area.
"I think the biggest thing is that we are going to be fully funded," Wiskel said of a major sponsor already lined up that will soon be announced publicly. "But our biggest immediate plan is to identify the best players for our U-16 and U-18 teams."
Academy teams play and train year-round and face the top squads from across the United States as the USSF tries to identify the best players for its national and Olympic teams.
San Juan, established in 1978, is the only area club to have both the academy program for boys and the Elite Club National League program that helps identify top girls players..

KIEV, May 13 (RIA Novosti) – Ukraine's self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics have begun negotiations on unification, a spokesman for the Donetsk People’s Republic told RIA Novosti Tuesday.
“The initiative of unifying the republics was voiced yesterday. Preliminarily, talks should be held. It is up to the leadership to decide. As of 10:00 am local time such talks are being held,” the spokesman said.
Both republics declared themselves sovereign states on Monday with Donetsk planning to ask Moscow to join Russia. The Luhansk leadership also said it did not rule out the possibility of a referendum on becoming part of Russia.
According to local officials in Donetsk and Luhansk, some 90 percent of voters in both regions supported the measure to secede from Ukraine and become independent sovereign states during referendums on Sunday.
Moscow said it respected the will of the people in Ukraine’s southeastern provinces and hoped the regime in Kiev would do the same. The US and EU denounced the results of the vote.

I know that the priest has the power of absolving from the sins committed after Baptism, because Jesus Christ granted that power to the priests of His Church when He said: “Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.”
190. Q. How do the priests of the Church exercise the power of forgiving sins? A. The priests of the Church exercise the power of forgiving sins by hearing the confession of sins, and granting pardon for them as ministers of God and in His name.
191. Q. What must we do to receive the Sacrament of Penance worthily? A. To receive the Sacrament of Penance worthily we must do five things:
1. We must examine our conscience. 2. We must have sorrow for our sins. 3. We must make a firm resolution never more to offend God. 4. We must confess our sins to the priest. 5. We must accept the penance which the priest gives us.
192. Q. What is the examination of conscience? A. The examination of conscience is an earnest effort to recall to mind all the sins we have committed since our last worthy confession.
193. Q. How can we make a good examination of conscience? A. We can make a good examination of conscience by calling to memory the commandments of God, the precepts of the Church, the seven capital sins, and the particular duties of our state in life, to find out the sins we have committed.

Permissive Access Register
What is the Permissive Access Register ?
The register for Devon is one of a series. It describes on a county basis new or improved public access where this is a product of conservation initiatives run by the Countryside Commission. The Scheme transferred from the Countryside Commission to MAFF ( Ministry of Ariculture Fisheries and Food) in April 1996.
Most of the walks or sites are made available through the Countryside Stewardship Scheme. This is a national countryside conservation scheme which offers financial assistance to landowners and farmers who are prepared to help in actively conserving the countryside, its wildlife and historic features and, in appropriate cases, to offer the public the opportunity to see and appreciate what is happening to the land.
All access described in the register is available to the public free of charge.
Click for further information about where to walk and ride in Devon.
What are conservation walks?
The access described in each register varies in what it offers the visitor. Often it will be primarily of value to people living or staying locally. Some facilities are suitable for families to relax or take a stroll, some offer an opportunity to explore an area of particular interest, perhaps for its wildlife or historic remains, some offer a stop-off point or place for a quiet picnic, some provide a vigorous walk.
Members of the public are invited to make full use of these areas. Visitors are asked to observe the Country Code and to respect the interests of the farmer. Dogs should be kept under control and, where requested, on a lead.
Most sites are in the farmed landscape where people continue to earn a living from the land. Very often appropriate farming practices such as livestock grazing are the key to good conservation management. The Countryside Commission's aim is to combine this with opportunities for people to enjoy the area in the belief that the two can be complimentary.
What is the legal status of these walks?
Most of the access described in the register is a product of agreements which last for 10 years, in all cases it is permissive and provided by the farmer or land manager for the public by virtue of a conservation agreement with MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food).
Any existing rights of access such as public footpaths which cross the land are not affected in any way.
In the interests of safety or to protect wildlife from disturbance during critical periods some routes or areas may be closed for short periods of the year.
How does the register work?
The register contains a map of the county showing the approximate location of each access site. The numbers on the map correspond to the numbered fact sheets which follow.
Each individual fact sheet provides the basic information about the site including the best time of year to visit, if appropriate. It also tells you what the site has to offer, and when the access provision is due to stop. Each fact sheet also contains a map to help locate the site, and gives you the Ordnance Survey Grid Reference for the centre of the site or route.
Visitors will normally need an Ordnance Survey 1:50000 Landranger map to help find the site. Each fact sheet gives the appropriate Landranger Map number.
In spring or early summer of each year the registers will be updated so that further facilities created over the previous year can be added.
Each site or route is identified by signs and waymarks on the ground. In most cases this will include boards with a plan at the main entry points.
For more information contact DEFRA in Devon at (01626) 892256.
The Countryside Stewardship Scheme provides information about other access opportunities in Devon.

Last Friday, President Obama continued to lay blame for the nation's economic ills on the gridlock in Washington, particularly on incorrigible Republican extremists that he said dominates the GOP in Congress.
Hours after the Department of Labor reported very unacceptable news in the job sector with an uptick in unemployment to 8.2%, a revision downward of prior positive job reports, and a lackluster creation of 69,000 jobs, the president blamed a faltering economy on GOP intransigence to work with him to lower unemployment and to get the economy moving.
At a fundraiser, he characterized the GOPs solid opposition to his policies as a "fever" of extremism that only his victory and a defeat of GOP candidates in November can cure.
Obama even went as far as pining for the good old days of 2008 when John McCain was running, who he then described as being "out of touch." On Friday, he instead spoke highly of the Arizona senator's past bipartisan willingness to work with Democrats and compromise on issues like immigration, climate control, and election reform.
That's really bizarre.
So far, the distraction game of the president invoking a GOP War on Women and gay people, equating Romney's Bain management experience to evil capitalism, and even attacking Mitt's treatment of the family dog, has not moved voters the slightest bit from focusing on their primary election concern: his poor record on the economy and a decreasing American standard of living.
This week, the president and his surrogates are yet again employing another approach to deflect attention away from his failure to turn the economy around by diagnosing the opposition as radically unhinged.
Obama surrogate Maryland governor Martin O'Malley in tandem to Obama on Saturday went even further and called Republicans in Congress "constipated" -- he stated "Republican obstructionists wouldn't pass gas if they thought it might heal our economy."
Like the other distractions, even if using childish bowel similes, it's not going to work.
The dismal job numbers on Friday were an election game changer and daily polls are already showing so.
A daily Rasmussen poll taken on Sunday reported that only 45 percent at least "somewhat approve" of the president's job performance while 53 percent at least "somewhat disapprove."
For the full month of May, the president's total job approval rating was at 49%, up two points from April.
The president stated Friday: "My hope and my expectation is that after the election, now that it turns out the goal of beating Obama doesn't make much sense because I'm not running again, that we can start getting some cooperation again."
He better not wait until after November -- and he already has a great starting point.
After the president had two years of Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress, but failed to bring about meaningful fiscal changes, he then established the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, otherwise known as the Bowles-Simpson Commission, in April, 2010 to formulate policies to improve the economy and to achieve fiscal sustainability for years to come.
The following December, the bi-partisan commission released its recommendations and provided the president the cover necessary to enact harsh, but needed reforms that would have resulted in positive economic growth, and more importantly, a perception that Washington was working to fix the economy, that would have already had a major impact today.
Yet, instead of exercising the mandate of presidential leadership to force "radical" senators of his own party opposed to cuts in entitlements to vote for the enactment of the tough austerity measures as part of a required supermajority, he did nothing.
It's not too late to bring Bowles-Simpson back on the table today or even during the first 100 days of his second term.
The recent labor reports, and the polls, are signs that the Obama negative distraction game is not working to make Americans feverish with optimism about an immediate economic recovery -- or a second Obama administration.
And continuing to call GOP congressmen flatulent lunatics or praising John McCain's bipartisanship is not going to help rescue his image as the leader in crisis either.

Jeff Heuchert, Stratford Gazette
A North Easthope family is seeking approval from the county to sever a woodlot on its property to establish a piece of public parkland.
About 10 years ago, the small section of Robert and Marjorie Irvine’s farm property in the west end of Shakespeare was subject to heavy flooding. It was then they decided to convert the land into a nature area, planting trees with the assistance of the conservation authority.
Now their property is up for sale and they want to ensure the woodlot survives, to be enjoyed not only by their family but by the residents of the village as well. They intend to maintain ownership of the roughly one acre lot through a family trust.
“We’re trusting our family,” Robert told county councillors last week. “They are very responsible people and they’ve agreed (to look after the property).”
Warden Ian Forrest supported the idea of more parkland to help boost ecotourism in the village. He also suggested down the road the sidewalk in Shakespeare might be extended to the west, giving shoppers and tourists easy access to the parkland.
The county’s planning department recommended the proposal be rejected because the new lot would be land-locked, with no access to a public road.
Director of planning and development, Dave Hanly, suggested a strip of land along the westerly portion of the Irvine’s property could be deeded in conjunction with the proposal to provide public road access to the parkland.
As it stands, access to the parkland would be only through an easement on the westerly portion of the property that goes over private property.
Coun. Bob Wilhelm called the proposal “messy.”
“If you want people to use (the property), you should give them proper access, and not be going through other people’s property.”
Still, Perth County councillors approved the proposal in principle last week, but will wait to review the final wording of the necessary amendments at their next meeting before giving final consent.

Advice for the Pop Culturally Perplexed
by Ted Turnau
We live in a world that is saturated with non-Christian popular culture, and many Christians don’t know how to respond. Some just enjoy it without giving it another thought. Some try to withdraw into a “holy huddle,” avoiding it to preserve their purity. Can we respond in a way that seeks to connect with our children and friends while at the same time guarding our hearts? I believe we can, but we must look past the surface of popular culture to see how it affects one’s worldview.
How does popular culture influence worldview? The best popular culture doesn’t preach or shout slogans. Rather, it engages our imaginations with its stories, images, and songs. It creates imaginative worlds for us to live in, even if just briefly. Last summer, many got to live in a besieged Gotham City, fighting alongside the Batman. The year before, we rode in a motorcycle gang along with Lady Gaga, thinking about the relationship between Jesus and Judas. Popular culture creates imaginative worlds that reveal blueprints for how the artist believes the world is or should be. Every piece of popular culture gives us an alternative vision of the world. This is the power of popular culture.
If this is the case, shouldn’t we just avoid it? No. Christ called us into the world, not out of the world. But we cannot simply enjoy it uncritically either. We must intentionally understand and engage it. Only in this way can we understand the world of our friends, children, and even ourselves. But how should we engage it?
First, we must understand that at its heart, popular culture is about worship. It is a way of commending a certain understanding of the world as reality, commending something (besides God) that is worth living for. No matter how trivial it may seem, popular culture is ultimately religious.
Second, we must understand that every piece of popular culture is a complicated mixture of good and bad, truth and lies, grace and idolatry. God is so generous that He gives gifts even to those who will never bow the knee to Him. That is why non-Christians can work for justice, tell the truth, and genuinely love and serve one another. Theologians call this “common grace,” and popular culture is laced with it. Consider how a particular piece of popular culture resonates with grace. The self-sacrifice of Batman in The Dark Knight Rises, for example, resonates with another heroic sacrifice that Christians cherish. The honest portrayal of the pain of a failed relationship in Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” resonates with the Christian understanding of how sin produces alienation in relationships.
Third, we must understand how popular culture uses that grace to promote idols. Batman may be like Christ, but unlike Christ, he depends upon nothing but his own strength and ingenuity to overcome evil. Thus, he is a picture of mankind’s illusion that we can save ourselves. Often, just analyzing popular culture’s idols can defuse them. Yes, Batman defeated Bane. But how often in reality are we faced with evil concentrated in one villain? Is overcoming evil so simple? Isn’t evil woven deeply into every human heart? Into every human society? Ten thousand Batmen could not defeat the reality of evil. If evil is that subtle, that ingrained in us, then we cannot save ourselves.
Fourth, we must understand how the gospel delivers just where idols default on their promises. Take Batman’s idol: that humanity can save itself. We cannot finally defeat evil. But the gospel promises that Someone much greater than Batman has grappled with evil and won, not by punching it into submission, but by sacrificing Himself for those captured by evil, by bringing peace. The Spirit of this Hero, this Jesus, has been given to us, so that we might go into the world and fight evil and injustice with a sure hope. God will end the story by cleansing the world of evil, even cleansing our very hearts of evil, doing what ten thousand Batmen could not.
Understanding how to engage and respond to popular culture can lead to interesting and important spiritual conversations, because the best popular culture deals with human heart issues. Thus, popular culture is a mission field where we can meet our friends and family members, to challenge and encourage them with the reality of the Christian worldview.
Fifth, we must understand that not every piece of popular culture is appropriate for every Christian. There are issues of age appropriateness. Watch and listen to popular culture with your children. Talk to them and find out how it affects their walks with God. An understanding parent can be a great encouragement to a child. And pay attention to your own heart-idols, where you are weak. You should not withdraw from popular culture as a whole, but engage it wisely.
By intentionally thinking through the imaginative worlds of popular culture, we can see the gospel shine as we wrestle with these difficult heart issues with friends and family. Popular culture is where worldviews are formed and distributed in our culture. It is time we got involved in the discussion.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA appears to have the upper hand in the crucial swing state of Ohio, according to early exit polls, while the president will also be encouraged by early polling data coming in from Florida.
An exit poll commissioned by CNN said that while Ohio – which has 18 votes – is too close to call, but suggested the Democratic candidate held a 51-48 lead in the race to secure the precious votes.
Ohio is considered a key bellweather state which would be vital to Mitt Romney if the Republican hopes to reach the magic 270 needed to oust Obama; no Republican has won the White House without the support of Ohio voters since 1928.
Meanwhile, with over a quarter of the votes counted in Florida, Obama leads by the same margin – 51 to 48 – with results showing that the president has improved upon the narrow lead he built up in that state in 2008.
Polls in Florida do not fully close until 1am Irish time, but some eastern parts of the state closed at midnight Irish time with votes already being counted.

1994 vs. 2008….Ezra Klein writes about the prospects for universal healthcare if a Democrat wins the presidency next year:
I’d like to believe, as Joe Klein does, that America’s corporations will make this the year that they finally support universal health reform. But I wouldn’t bet an extraordinary amount of money on the prospect. For instance: Though the NFIB [a small business lobby that was instrumental in defeating Bill Clinton’s healthcare plan in 1994 –ed.] has been making conciliatory noises, and even talking with Ron Wyden on occasion, they still came out in ferocious opposition to Schwarzenegger’s California reforms, which are not dissimilar to the models offered by the national Democrats….Any president walking into this counting on the support of the corporate community will get their lunch handed to them.
I agree. But that’s boring, so instead I’m going to play devil’s advocate. There really are a number of differences between 1994 and today that work in favor of getting business cooperation on a serious healthcare plan:
In 1994, the business community got sold on the idea that the HMO revolution might succeed in reining in healthcare costs, which meant there was no need for the feds to get involved. Obviously that didn’t happen, and no one in the business community now believes that there’s some quick fix on the horizon that will keep their healthcare liabilities from continuing to skyrocket. They’re much more open to a government solution on this score than they were 14 years ago.
The Clinton plan included mandates on small businesses. The current crop of Democratic plans don’t. When it comes to assuaging business concerns and producing healthcare plans they can live with, Democratic politicians have gotten much, much smarter over the past decade.
Public opinion has shifted too. The public was in favor of healthcare reform in 1994, but not overwhelmingly — and Harry & Louise were enough to turn them against the Clinton plan. Today, public opinion is far more strongly in favor of healthcare reform, and that’s a tailwind that even conservative politicians have to respect.
Now, having said that, I think (a) public opinion still isn’t where it needs to be, (b) the business community remains suspicious of big government healthcare plans for all the usual ideological reasons, and (c) movement conservatives haven’t budged an inch on healthcare. They view it, probably rightly, as a stalking horse for resurgent liberalism, and will oppose it every bit as furiously as they did in 1994.
Still, there are differences. The climate today for healthcare reform really is more hospitable than it’s been in a long time. It’s not 1994 forever.
UPDATE: Ezra takes issue with my point about public opinion. I don’t think polls adequately capture what’s really going on with broad-but-shallow issues like healthcare, but it’s still worthwhile to look at them as a baseline of sorts. And at least as far as the CBS/NYT polls can show us, discontent over the healthcare system is about the same today as it was in 1994.

This soundtrack is truly original and unforgettable. Leave it to the incredible Tim Burton to put together one of the most un-80's soundtracks ever in the 80's which is still so easily recognizable today.
Who can ever forget the oh-so-kewl belefonte reggae tunes? Burton has a knack for merging completely different styles (Beetlejuice and Belefonte, Batman and Prince) into one amazing project.

Excellence in Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
Dr. Joseph T. Cruise specializes in rhinoplasty surgery. He is also a member of The Rhinoplasty Society (a very exclusive society of surgeons who specialize in nose surgery throughout the world). He has been dedicated exclusively to plastic surgery in Orange County for over 12 years. Dr. Cruise and the staff at his Newport Beach office have provided the information found in throughout the Rhinoplasty section as one of the most comprehensive resources for anyone interested in learning how nose surgery can help them achieve their desired look. Cruise Plastic Surgery has also provided a large gallery of before and after photos, so patients can see what type of results can be expected.
Overview of Nose Surgery
Dr. Cruise consults with many patients who share the same concerns about their nose and who are seeking cosmetic surgery to achieve a their desired appearance. Since many of the patient concerns are similar, Dr. Cruise has compiled some of the most important information into one place. Discussed topics include:
- Hump Reduction
Many people request a nose surgery that will remove, or lessen, the “hump” across the bridge of their nose. During a consultation in his Orange County office, Dr. Cruise will digitally modify your nasal profile to show you what sort of hump reduction might be possible, and how it changes the proportion of the entire face.
- Droopy Tip
Some people have an elongated tip at the end of their nose that plunges farther down towards the lips, especially when smiling. Correction of this “droopy tip” is another common rhinoplasty request. Dr. Cruise is especially adept at shortening the nose and rotating the tip upward to correct this common concern.
- Tip Definition
A thin, proportional nose is the ideal shape, and many people ask Dr. Cruise to change the shape of their nose’s tip in order to reach this ideal. Shaping cartilage to correct bulbous or boxy nose tip creates a more elegant, refined shape to the nose and face.
- Narrowing the Nose
Many nose surgery patients are interested in how they can bring more overall definition to their face by narrowing their nose. Dr. Cruise performs rhinoplasty that can narrow the nose bridge, the nostrils, or both.
- Complications, Risks, Recovery and Safety
Every type of surgery involves some safety concerns, and cosmetic surgery is no different. You can learn about the potential risks involved with deviated septum, revision rhinoplasty, pinched nose, and bulbous tip, and also find out what to expect during the recovery process.
- Cost of Nose Surgery
Learn what types of financing options are available for nose surgery.
Dr. Cruise believes in providing patients with the information to make the decision about whether or not plastic surgery addresses their major concerns, will help them achieve the results they want, and is right for them.
As the center of the face, the ideal nose is one that doesn’t draw attention to itself. Large, deviated, and disproportionate noses can seem to dominate a face and make some people self-conscious. A nose that is proportionate to other facial features allows the eyes, chin, and lips to receive equal attention, and creates a facial harmony.
Rhinoplasty is the medical term for the surgery that alters the size or shape of the nose. The procedure can be performed for various reasons, from traumatic injury to dissatisfaction with appearance. Some of the most common complaints about nose shape include: a hump across the bridge, a deviated nose, flaring or bulbous nostrils, a wide nasal bridge, and a beaked nose. As a rhinoplasty specialist and one of the top Orange County plastic surgeons, Dr. Cruise has experience correcting all of these conditions.
Some of the most serious health concerns people list when seeking nose surgery are airway and breathing problems. Due to several physiological conditions, a person’s nose may simply be shaped so that their airway is sometimes blocked, and they have difficulty breathing. Rhinoplasty is often the way to correct the underlying problems of nasal shape that cause airway obstruction.
Main Rhinoplasty Techniques
Most doctors perform rhinoplasty in two different types of procedures: a “closed” technique and an “open” technique. Dr. Cruise has experience working with both of these approaches, but he also performs a highly-specialized combination of the two known as the “delivery” technique. Each nose surgery technique has its own advantage, depending on the results the patient is looking for.
When a patient’s major concerns are at the top or bridge of the nose, or when there are only small changes needed to the nose’s tip, Dr. Cruise finds that the closed technique provides patients the best results. The closed technique uses small incisions made inside the nose and leaves no visible scarring.
When the patient’s major concerns are with the nasal tip, Dr. Cruise finds it beneficial to use the open technique. A thin incision is made along the skin between the nostrils, which normally heal without a visible scar. With this technique, a patient can have more extensive rhinoplasty work done on the tip of their nose, and achieve better tip definition and narrowness.
Dr. Cruise is one of the few rhinoplasty cosmetic surgeons in Newport Beach who has developed a specialized technique for patients who need a moderate amount of work done along the whole nose – both the bridge and tip. The delivery technique does not leave visible scars, and gives patients a way to achieve the best overall look.
Highly Specialized, Highly Practiced
Rhinoplasty is one of the essential operations that every surgeon needs to be expert in. It incorporates multiple skills, artistic prowess, and vision, and it is cultivated by extensive training and practice. Each patient’s face is unique, every nose is individual, and only the experienced plastic surgeons are aware of how dramatic the results to the overall face will be.
Dr. Cruise schedules individual appointments with all rhinoplasty and other cosmetic surgery patients in his Orange County office. At the consultation all patients are given a physical exam and express their concerns, while browsing the extensive collection of before and after nose surgery pictures. Patients will also be able to see a digital modification of their own nose so they can visualize what to expect with their new nose and new appearance.

1. Get adequate amount of exercise
A large majority of people who suffer from migraine steer clear of any highly intensive or strenuous exercise as it is known to be the prime trigger for a severe attack. Having said that, avoiding physical activity altogether can worsen your migraines and thus you should focus on indulging in some light exercises. Activities such as jogging, walking and yoga can reduce the duration of your migraines and also bring down its severity and frequency. Moreover, regular exercise brings down stress levels which are also a major factor for triggering migraine attacks.
2. Take note of your meal schedule and type of food that precipitates headache
For most patients migraine is triggerred by irregular meal schedule and some foods acts as triggers for migraine like cheese, chocolate, chinese foods. It is very imprtant to maintain a regular meal schedule, avoid skipping meals and take note of the items that precipitate your headache. Items that can precipitate headache is different for every individual and maitaining a headache diary can help you to identify these triggers. Also, note down the occurrence of your migraines, their duration and severity. Having adequate data makes it extremely simple to recognize a recurring pattern and leads you to the main cause behind your migraine attacks.
3. Maintain a stable sleep schedule
Sleep plays a great role in triggering migraine attacks and irregular sleep patterns, not getting adequate sleep, or sleeping more than required – all these habits can lead to a severe attack. Thus, try and create a sleep schedule for yourself keeping your daily routines in mind and follow it without fail.

My palm and abdomen area is badly infected. I have met 7-8 doctors all concluded it to be tinnea crisis. In koh report its septate hypae fungal infection.

If there is a recurrent pain in the lower pelvic and the lower abdomen region of the body, chances are you might be suffering from pelvic pain. In women, severe pelvic pain can be a warning sign of some internal damage in the reproductive organs (ovaries, fallopian tube, uterus, and vagina) present in the pelvic region or the digestive system of the body. Although not common in men, pelvic pain might be indicative of an infection or severe pain in the colon region or the pelvic bones. Pelvic pain might be acute or chronic in nature and the pain might spread to the thighs and buttocks of the body.
The causes of pelvic pain differ among the genders, which are as follows:
1. For women, pelvic pain can be an indication of more serious disorders in the internal reproductive organs such as uterine cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer and other pelvic inflammatory diseases (when the sexually transmitted bacteria spread to the reproductive organs and causes infections).
2. In women, pelvic pain might also occur due to endometriosis (a disorder wherein the internal endometrial tissues grow outside the uterus resulting in severe pain), adenomyosis (a disorder wherein the endometrial tissues which line the wall of the uterus start growing within the uterus), severe pain during ovulation and miscarriages.
3. The causes of pelvic pain in both men and women include sexually transmitted diseases, a disorder in the pelvic region or the bladder, kidney stones, urinary tract infection, colon cancer, and chronic hernia.
If you suffer from the following symptoms, chances are you might be suffering from pelvic pain:
1. Severe pain in the hips and the groin
2. Sudden fever along with the presence of blood in the stool.
3. Severe menstrual pain
4. You might feel severe pain while urinating or in the middle of a sexual intercourse
5. Bloody vaginal discharge might be indicative of pelvic pain in women
6. Recurring episodes of constipation or diarrhoea
7. Pain resulting from stress and intense physical movements
If the pain is chronic, doctors might suggest prescribed a dosage of birth-control pills, antibiotic (especially for blood in the stool and pain due to infection) and anti-depressants. In extreme conditions, the doctor might prescribe laparoscopic surgery (operation by making minor incisions performed far from the actual source).
Before some days I am feeling gas problem. And headache, thats why I can't sleep in night. So I wanna your help please help me. And please tell me that how can I solve my problem. Please help me.
Many couples have complained that their inability to conceive is as a result of the sperm seeping out of the vagina after intercourse. Do you have a similar problem? Then read on.
This is an issue I will tackle objectively in this article. I have outlined some simple steps below that can be followed to reduce or if possible eliminate sperm leakages.
Make sure the vaginal canal is clean of any artificial lubricants as these slow down sperm and also encourage leakage of sperm.
Woman should pee (urinate) shortly before intercourse so that she can have time to relax after the show.
It is important that couples engage in foreplay so that the woman can reach orgasm especially when trying to be pregnant because the muscle spasm that goes along with orgasm can help pull the sperm into the uterus. Foreplay also helps the man to have a more exciting intercourse that promotes very powerful orgasm that will result in the production of a higher sperm count.
Be sure to get into positions that will permit the sperm to remain inside the vagina longer. The missionary style allows for deeper penetrations and allows sperm stay longer this is a highly advisable position to use. If it is discovered that the woman has tilted cervix then a rear entry is ideal for the man.
Some of the leakages are due to gravity. Avoid positions that allows for the sperm to leak out such as the woman being or top or some other positions where it is likely that sperm may leak out.
Time the thrust that will release the sperm and make sure that ejaculation occurs while the penis is deep inside. After ejaculation, the man should not stand up and remain till his member goes flaccid after which he can rise up.
The woman should place a pillow under her hips to elevate her pelvis. And should remain like that for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the sperm have a enough time to swim downwards into the cervix rather than leaking out.
Honestly you would have reduced sperm leakages by 90% if you attach importance to this article. Try the 7 steps above and you would have taken a bold step to improving your chances of conceiving this month.

Amber Heard is ready to take over.
After flashing her comedic chops in films like Zombieland and Pineapple Express, the Texas-born actress is gearing up to kick ass in this year's Justice League and next year's Aquaman.
Heard is joining the DC Entertainment Universe as Mera, the Queen of Atlantis, alongside the aquatic hero played by jacked-as-hell Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa. Justice League director Zack Snyder shared the first official photo of Heard in costume back in October, standing on the shores of the water in a badass suit of armor.
Saw this hydrokinetic vision come out of the sea and snapped a photo with my Leica. pic.twitter.com/rwU54XzScK
— Zack Snyder (@ZackSnyder) October 12, 2016
Now she's in the thick of training for Aquaman, which apparently involves intense sword-training sessions. The pic—which you can check out on the next slide—was posted to Heard's Instagram on Monday, March 27.
Check out more pictures of the actress at her best (which is always).

Arrest made in LSU bomb threat
Suspect: William Bouvay Jr.
An arrest has been made in the investigation of a bomb threat made at the Louisiana State University campus in Baton Rouge on Monday, said Sgt. Len Marie with the Louisiana State Police.
LSU said that William Bouvay Jr., 42, of Baton Rouge was arrested shortly before midnight Tuesday.
He was later booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of communicating of false information of planned bombing.
On Monday, police said they received a call from an unknown caller who said multiple bombs were on the LSU campus and would detonate in two hours.
LSU was completely evacuated based on the threat.
Investigators found that the call came from a deactivated cellphone that could only make emergency calls. Using GPS, investigators said they discovered where the call was made and developed Bouvay as a suspect.
When questioned by police, LSU said, Bouvay admitted to having called 911 and making the bomb threat and disclosed the location of the phone that was used to make the call.
Investigators will be holding a press conference to talk about the arrest later Wednesday.

"What better way to introduce simple addition concepts than with delicious Hershey's Kisses?" reads the description of "Hershey's Kisses Addition Book" at Amazon.com. (It's not to be confused with the "Hershey's Kisses Subtraction Book," the "Hershey's Kisses Multiplication and Division Book" or "Hershey's Fractions.") Your kid hates Hershey's? Try the "M&Ms Addition Book," "Skittles Riddles Math" or the "Twizzlers Percentages Book," in which space aliens descend on a classroom and, in an unexpected plot twist, demand Twizzlers in exchange for lesson plans. It's a strategy best summarized by "Reese's Pieces: Count By Fives": "Don't just play with your food," says the online blurb, "Learn with it!"
For this editorial in the Los Angeles Times about the "educational" marketing of junk food, I question whether it's really a good idea to use Oreos to teach kids math.

These healthy vegetarian brunch recipes prove you don’t need meat to perfect the quintessential weekend meal.
Who doesn’t love brunch? I try to take every opportunity to slow things down and enjoy a morning meal that spans well into the afternoon whenever I can.
Going out for brunch is always fun but recently I’ve enjoyed staying at home just as much—maybe more! Shoes are optional, there are endless plant-based options, and the prices are much better too. (Especially if you find it impossible to resist coconut milk lattes and mimosas like I do.)
A delicious brunch doesn’t require sausage or bacon. Try one of these healthy vegetarian brunch recipes this weekend and experience just how flavorful meatless meals can be!
