Unlawful, ineffective, toxic: the badger cull must end - vaccination is the answer
Dominic Dyer
10th October 2014The Badger Trust' is in the Court of Appeal today, making its case that the 2014 'trial' badger cull is unlawful, writes Dominic Dyer. But beyond that, the entire culling policy is driven by politics, not science, and is doomed to failure. It's time for Cameron to harness his 'big society' to apply a genuine solution: badger vaccination. more...
England's 'upland Amazon' destroyed for grouse shooting
Paul Brown
9th October 2014The repeated burning of England's upland moors - carried out so more grouse can be reared for lucrative shooting parties - is seriously damaging a unique and valuable ecosystem, writes Paul Brown - destroying ages-old peat, reducing its capacity to retain water, and releasing megatonnes of carbon to the atmosphere. more...

Badger cull fail - government throws science on the scrapheap
Rosie Woodroffe
9th September 2014England's 2014 trial badger cull starts today - with no independent oversight, and no gathering of essential scientific data.

Area landlords may form associationBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | December 08,2012SPRINGFIELD After seeing they had more in common than not, area landlords are considering forming an association, Jennifer Petersson, executive director of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce said.
Petersson, who was one of the organizers of last weeks well-attended session, Landlords and Leases, said she had been contacted after the meeting by some landlords who said an association would help them cope with bad tenants and other issues.
A couple of people spoke to me at the event and they are definitely interested in it, Petersson said Tuesday. We dont know what role we will play.
During last weeks session, which was sparked by the towns push to crack down on suspected drug dealers in town, landlords were given a crash course in how to evict people charged with crimes and how to better screen prospective tenants.
Petersson declined to give the names of landlords who were interested in forming a group, saying it was premature.
Petersson said she would be talking to the board of directors of the chamber to determine what role she could take in helping the landlords organize.
They found it useful to be around other landlords, they dont usually come in contact, but they liked being able to share ideas together, Petersson said. One of the ideas the chamber tries to reinforce is for individual people working and acting collectively to further their business interests.
Too often, landlords view each other as competitors for good tenants, she said.
Springfield attorney Ethan McNaughton, a member of the chamber board of directors, had presented the well-attended seminar, which attracted about 50 area landlords, Petersson said. In addition to the landlords, a good turnout of town, police and fire officials from Springfield, Bellows Falls and Rockingham attended the session, along with groups that work in housing.
McNaughton urged the landlords to do their homework on any prospective tenant, including doing a criminal record check and checking references closely. Another good idea, he said, is to visit the prospective tenants current location. And he urged the landlords to talk to each other about troubled tenants.
While it may cost a little bit more, record checks will pay for itself in the long run, he said. And those tenants who object to a record check are usually people you dont want in your apartment anyway, McNaughton said.
McNaughton also pushed hard for landlords to have signed leases with their tenants, where landlords can set the conditions they want on tenants behavior. He said the other important step is to keep good communication with your tenant, and to do regular inspections of the property with proper notice.
Many people said that Vermont law is heavily weighted in favor of the tenant, and that landlords have an extraordinary hard time evicting bad tenants.
One elderly Springfield landlord, who refused to give his name, said he had never had a tenant sign a lease and he had a minimum of problems.
People lived in his apartments, he said, on a month-to-month basis, and if they didnt pay, they were gone. The man said he had never had to evict anyone.

Driven: Caterham R600 Superlight
Piers Ward straps himself into the fastest Caterham ever
Posted: 21 Dec 2012
What is it?
The Superlight R600 is the fastest Caterham Seven yet. This from the firm whose back catalogue includes the insanely rapid R500 and R400...
First, some caveats, though. For the time being, the R600 is only available as a racing car. It's been designed to compete in the one-make R600 championship, competing at various circuits around the UK next year, and will sit at the top of the Caterham racing hierarchy.
Note the phrase: 'for the time being'. Caterham admits that a road car is possible (and likely) in the future, so stand well back.
I imagine this racing R600 is quick?
Just a tad. It's got a supercharged, 275bhp 2.0-litre Ford Duratec engine, which in a car as light as the Seven, is good for a 0-60mph time of 2.6 seconds. That's just 0.1 seconds off a Bugatti Veyron Supersport and 0.3 seconds quicker than an R500 - neither of which is exactly a slouch.
This is the first time that Caterham has built a forced-induction engine, and it works superbly well. It's not quite as manic as the R500 because the power delivery is less peaky, but it's still tear-your-head-off-your-shoulders fast. In fact, there weren't many experiences in the world more brutal than a hot Caterham accelerating hard, but this latest R is on another level. And then you have to take into account that I was driving it on a damp track with full wet tyres. What it must be like on slicks and in the dry doesn't bear thinking about.
But here's an odd thing - it's not scary.
Sorry. Did you say it isn't scary?
Well, put it this way, it's not as completely and utterly terrifying as you'd imagine it would be. The chassis is actually quite benign, mainly because it's so well set-up. Of course it's easy to go sideways, but if you're gentle with the R600 it will reward you rather than bite your ego off for the fun of it. It's effortless to balance it on the throttle, and because you're so hard-wired into the chassis and steering, it's a doddle to feel what's going on, and therefore manage the results.
It's still physically hard work to drive, mind you. Tiring simply because you're subjected to such brutal forces. This is a whole-body work out: your left arm needs to yank hard on the six-speed sequential gearbox, neck braced against the g-forces. Right hand gripping the steering wheel hard when you're snapping through the gears. Legs wedged against the sides of the chassis. Just for the record, the brave souls racing this thing for half an hour will need to be fit.
OK, you've convinced me. How much is it?
The R600 is £44,995, but the car comes un-painted to let owners decorate it with sponsors' logos. It does, however, come with a season-long warranty on the powertrain (engine and gearbox), which is pretty-much unheard of in racing circles. Just goes to show how much confidence Caterham has in this car.

Charlotte Bobcats (8-9) at Miami Heat (13-3), 6 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Miami Heat are riding the longest current winning streak in the NBA at nine games and will try to keep it going when they return home to face the Charlotte Bobcats.
The Heat won both of its recent road games in Cleveland and Toronto, and recorded a 90-83 triumph over the Raptors Friday at Air Canada Centre, where LeBron James collected 27 points, six rebounds and three assists. Dwyane Wade was the only other Heat player in double digits, finishing with 22 points.
"We got to have these type of games throughout the course of the season," James said of the game. "The games that will challenge you and tonight was a great example of how together we are. We've been in this situation and were able to handle it."
James has scored in double-figures in 511 consecutive games.
Ray Allen and Michael Beasley scored seven points apiece for the 13-3 Heat, who scored 26 points off 21 Toronto turnovers and led by as many as 20 midway through the third quarter.
The Raptors got no closer than four points with about five minutes to go.
Miami will also welcome Detroit to town and is 8-1 at AmericanAirlines Arena, where it has ripped off five straight victories.
Charlotte ended a two-game slide with Friday's 92-76 win over the Milwaukee Bucks to close out a three-game homestand.
Al Jefferson had 23 points and 12 rebounds -- both season highs --, Gerald Henderson netted 19 points and Ramon Sessions added 11 points off the bench.
"Every game, I'm getting better and better with the way I feel and the way I'm playing. Milwaukee is a heck of a team, they've got great shooters and they were hanging around in the fourth (quarter)," said Jefferson. "I did want to take it upon myself to go on and seal the game and walk away with the win, and I got hot."
Jefferson is averaging 18.0 points and 7.8 rebounds in his last four games.
The Bobcats, who pulled down a season-high 54 rebounds, got 10 points, but six turnovers from Kemba Walker, while Bismack Biyombo chipped in seven points and 14 rebounds. Bobcats forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (foot) is probable for Sunday and averaging 9.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.
Charlotte hopes to slow down James and the Heat, and is allowing 91.4 points per game, which is one of the lowest in the NBA. Last season the Bobcats permitted 102.7 ppg.
The Bobcats are 4-3 on the road this season, leaving them two wins shy of last season's total of six road wins, and dropped a 97-81 home decision to the Heat on Nov. 16. Miami has won 13 in a row and 26 of the 36 matchups with Charlotte, which has lost seven straight and 15 of the 18 all-time meetings in south Florida.
The Bobcats will visit Dallas on Tuesday.

Make Your Own Cleaning Supplies
- Login to add to Favorites
- 5 Comments
For truly "green" cleaning products, try these home remedies that use common kitchen food items — mayonnaise, vinegar, and baking soda — as the basic cleaning elements.
1. Mayonnaise is one of the best substances for cleaning pine pitch, grease, or tar off your hands. Rub it on, let it sit for a few minutes, and clean off the spot.
2. Remove crayon marks from furniture by rubbing mayonnaise on them. Let it sit for a minute or so, then wipe with a damp cloth.
3. If the flannel backing from a tablecloth sticks to a table, remove the flannel from the tabletop by applying mayonnaise liberally to the area. Let it soak in for an hour, then wipe it off with paper towels or a soft cloth.
4. Road tar on your beautiful car? Mayonnaise will take it off without hurting the finish. Rub it onto the car and let it set for a few minutes, then wipe off.
5. To remove the residue from tape or labels on glass, saturate the sticky part with mayonnaise, oil, or peanut butter, then wash and rinse.
White Vinegar
1. Before warm weather hits, clean your air-conditioner filter. Take the foam filter out of the grill and soak it for an hour or more in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and warm water, then squeeze dry and replace.
2. Clean hairbrushes with the most logical cleaner: shampoo. Scrub it into the bristles, rinse with water, then rinse with white vinegar to remove any soap residue. Your hairbrush will be squeaky clean!
3. Clean painted woodwork with a solution of 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1 cup ammonia, 1/4 cup baking soda, and 1 gallon of lukewarm water. No rinsing is necessary with this solution.
4. Clean vinyl shower curtains without taking them down by wiping them with a sponge dampened with white vinegar.

Taking Stock of Time - UNCW Faculty to Discuss Different Perspectives on Time
Wednesday, February 06, 2013
"Does anybody really know what time it is, does anybody really care (about time)?" – Songwriter Robert Lamm, Chicago
Wilmington, N.C. – UNCW faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences plan to explore the concept of time during their second annual symposium, 7-9 p.m., Feb. 20, at King Hall on campus.
The "What is time?" panel discussion, moderated by Communication Studies Department Chair Dr. Rick Olsen, will feature remarks by faculty members from the humanities, fine arts, social sciences, and sciences. Each will discuss different academic perspectives of time.
The panelists and their topics are:
- Rich Ogle, Psychology Department Chair – how time perspective influences behavior
- Patricia Turrisi, Director of Graduate Liberal Studies – how meaningful events are marked on a common time scale
- Juan Carlos Kase, Assistant Professor of Film Studies – how the passing of time is shown in cinema
- Jeremy Tirrell, Assistant Professor of English – how a Greek concept of time has newfound relevance in the digital age
- John Rack, Associate Professor of Music - how time is viewed in music around the world
- Mark Cox, Professor of Creative Writing – how the movement within lyric and lyric-narrative poetry relates to time
- Brian Davis, Professor, of Physics and Physical Oceanography Professor – how early cultures used the sun's yearly cycle for practical and religious purposes
- Russ Herman, Professor of Physics and Physical Oceanography and Mathematics and Statistics – how physicists' search to understand time has inspired a human fascination with the fate of the universe, time travel, black holes, wormholes, and parallel universes.
The symposium is free and open to the public, and parking will be available in Lot B near King Hall.

Don't be scared Ronda.
Don't be scared Ronda.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
The fight is a lot closer than a lot of ppl think imo. One is excels at one thing while the other at the other.
It is Cyborg's choice not to make 135 then whine about it.
Cyroid is not owed anything. Noone is owed anything in this life. You have to earn what you get.
Cyroid has not earned the 135 title shot.
It is quite obvious to all that Rousey is not a 145 lbs fighter, as she was prior. She was fighting above her natural weight class. To say she is scared because she finally started eating to gain optimal form is hilarious and I have seen many claim it. It makes them look like fools to me.
Why Ronda Rousey vs. Cris 'Cyborg' Santos is an Illusion
Now You See It, Now You Don't
Since the recent signing of Ronda Rousey to the UFC roster, many fans of the sport are clamoring for a women's MMA super-fight pitting Ronda Rousey (9-0) against Cris 'Cyborg' Santos (10-1). I'd be the first to admit that this fight is one I'd be willing to pay $44.95 to see.
A potential fight against Cyborg could draw quite a bit of attention and possibly gross the highest PPVs of any women's MMA fight to date. However, before we jump the gun on a potential WMMA super fight, let's break down four reasons why this fight will, probably, never happen. (Notice I left some wiggle room for a change of opinion)
Weight Watchers: There's no way, at least at this moment in time, Cyborg will make a 135 pound match. She's simply too big and too, dare I say, "bulky" to make that weight class. Ronda has refused to bump up in weight to meet the, one time, champion.
"Testing" Time: Let's face it; MMA has a problem with steroids. And now, believe it or not, women's MMA has a problem with steroids too. OK, maybe I'm being a little over dramatic but the fact remains Cyborg was popped for steroid use. And I guarantee you the UFC isn't going to allow another Alistair Overeem debacle. With that said, I'm sure both the UFC and Rousey will be pushing for strict testing prior to a possible super fight taking place.
Cutters: Timing is everything, especially when it comes to mixed martial arts match making (check out that alliteration!). While Cyborg has been on the sidelines, serving a suspension, the WMMA landscape has changed. Thanks to InvictaFC and Strikeforce there have been in influx of talented and highly skilled women fighters lining up to trade blows with the champ, Rousey.
Golden Child/Cow: The last, I think most important, reason why this fight won't happen is the fact that Rousey is turning into a mega-star. Since her rise to stardom, by beating Miesha Tate for the belt, Ronda has been on a media tear. From magazine covers to guest appearances, Rousey is turning heads and turning out money for the UFC. So why mess with that?
Without a doubt this fight would rank high on the all-time list, but would it be the greatest of all time? No. It certain would shatter the current PPV women's record but it would take an astrological alignment, like never seen before, for this to be the greatest of ALL time. The funniest part... it probably will never happen.
Last edited by Sniggles; 02-09-2013 at 10:01 PM.
Let her go fight for Invicta for a while. She'll make next to nothing fighting girls who can't challenge her, her fights will be broadcast on online streams only, and she'll be watching Rousey, Tate, McMann, etc fighting on the main card of UFC PPVs and making big $$. Cutting to 135 won't seem so bad after that.
Dana loves Ronda and would love to keep her the champ. People wanted a Cyborg match up. A catch weight fight says nothing about the 135 title, and how would Ronda's reign look if she lost that fight. So make thing favor her keep it at 135#, give a nobody a shot first, and one of Dana's favorite things screw with Tito.
I think Both Dana and Rhonda are thankful Cyborg can't or won't make 135. Sorry but I'm not in the habit of questioning fighters who know their own bodies better than I do. If cyborg thinks that she will not fight well at 135 or it's dangerous to her health to even try, then she shouldn't do it. Because even if it does happen, she would have already lost the fight stressing out over the cut. She's doing a smart thing, maybe Invicta gets picked up by bellator or they cross promote. That could give her some exposure, going over and fighting in Japan could also get her some extra money, I'd love to see her fight Rin Nakki. and if the UFC continues to develop WMMA, then eventually they will have enough fighters for a 145 division. I'd be interested to see if there are more women going into MMA since the UFC announced the 135 division...
Scarface: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you, I'm out!
"I don't call the fighting in my films 'violent', I call it 'action'. An action film borders between fantasy and reality. If I were to be completely realistic in my films, you would call me a violent, bloody man. I would simply destroy my opponent by tearing his guts out. I wouldn't do it so artistically." ~Bruce Lee
I'm sure Dana would prefer a more marketable fighter as the champ which Ronda is, but having her at champ does nothing in the long run unless he puts some other legitimate talent in there with her. Cyborg would be the best fall back plan as champ if Ronda were to falter.
Cyborg could drop the weight if she wanted to sh is obviously carrying alot of muscle mass which could be cut down on if she changed her training and diet and wouldn't really effect any of things she is worried about. Dolce already claimed she could make 135 easily as is and add in the fact she's been off for so long and could have been working towards 135 long ago.I think it's more an unwillingness on her part to try then anything else.

Editor's Note: To celebrate Father's Day, the Daily News chose to tell the story of one man's relationship with his baby girl.
FORT WALTON BEAC H — Jimmy Pitts can't remember a time when he didn't dream of being a father. Even as a little boy, he knew he wanted to have children someday.
But life doesn't always have what you want most on its menu. And as he reached his mid-30s, the Fort Walton Beach man had become resigned to being "that guy" — Uncle Jimmy — when his friends and their families gathered.
Last year, when his girlfriend of nine years became pregnant, he allowed himself to hope. But his tiny daughter was born two months early, weighing less than 5 pounds, and had drugs in her system.
Jimmy tested clean. His girlfriend didn't. Child welfare officials took Zoe into protective custody in her first hours of life and put her in a foster home for two months.
"I've wanted her my entire life," he says. "To have that taken away from me at birth just about killed me."
He left his girlfriend so that he could be a father. During those early months he visited Zoe on Saturdays and Sundays. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day they spent together.
By her 2-month birthday, Zoe was back with her daddy. Now almost 7 months old, her weight has nearly tripled since birth.
"She's beautiful and wonderful and my first and only child," Jimmy says, changing her tiny diaper with hands so big they circle her chest when he holds her up.
Zoe has been a daddy's girl since the beginning. Jimmy has two voices: one for talking to the rest of the world and the other for talking to his bright-eyed baby girl.
He gets up with her several times a night to feed her and can't resist her desire to play. Minutes slip into hours and he guesses he loses more than two hours of sleep each night.
"Exhausted," he answers, when asked how he is coping. "But I would give up any amount of sleep to have her."
On weekends, they visit family or go to the park. His favorite is the one near Beal Memorial Cemetery, where the swings are shaded and big enough for Jimmy.
"She'll wrap her arms around Daddy and fall asleep," he says. "It's awesome."
Sleep deprivation has been challenging, as was getting her on a schedule in the beginning. But the hardest part of being a father was putting his baby girl in day care.
"Leaving her, that hurt my feelings," he says. "I cried a couple of mornings. I just wanted to spend every single second with her."
He's dating again, a woman he's known for more than a decade with two children of her own. She takes care of Zoe while he works as a general contractor.
He handles the needs of an infant girl with ease, cheerfully changing her diaper twice in 15 minutes, praising a loud burp and dropping the name of her pediatrician. She is tiny against his massive frame, sitting in his lap like a precious doll and smiling.
"Some of her smiles and looks can make me cry," he says. "She's my blessing. She's my little girl."

View of Alcatraz
Your San Francisco vacation
Take one perfectly located peninsula, and mix in world-class dining, parks, culture and charm. The result? San Francisco, the City by the Bay. With a laissez-faire vibe dating back to the Gold Rush, this city boasts ethnic enclaves and an eclectic populace drawn to the beauty of the Pacific Coast. Visit hippie history in the Haight, or shop elegant Union Square. Take a cable car up Nob Hill, and swoon over colorful Victorians and Bay views.
Let Orbitz help you plan the perfect San Francisco vacation. With insider tips and top attractions, you'll get the skinny on Golden Gate Park, Chinatown and where to explore and eat on your San Francisco trip.
San Francisco's climate is mild year-round, so forget about packing wool -- or shorts. Daytime temperatures rarely rise above 75 or drop below 55. Summer is notoriously cool, with fog and chilly Pacific breezes, and neighborhood "micro-climates" can mean balmy conditions in the Mission District, but chillier conditions in the Outer Richmond. Summer is also peak tourist season, and late June's LGBT Pride Celebration Parade is one of the biggest in the country.
May, September and October have less fog and, locals contend, the best weather. December, January and February are the coldest and wettest months, while January brings the Chinese New Year's Parade.
Rainbow Grocery
Get your green bounty on. Rainbow Grocery really is what it's cracked up to be: an eco/organic/fair-trade heaven.
Ferry Building Marketplace
What looks like a tourist trap is actually a foodie paradise, with oysters (Hog Island), cheese (Cowgirl Creamery), a fantastic farmer's market and more.
The Presidio
A gift to hikers, bikers and diners. Enjoy this former military post's paths, restaurants and views on your way to or from the Golden Gate Bridge.
The Alembic
The Haight's perfect drinking/dining combo defines the term "gastropub": world-class artisan cocktails crafted with love, and a food menu to match.
Seward Street Slides
These concrete sliding tubes re-teach what you knew when you were six: Gravity is fun. Be sure to bring your own cardboard to slide on, though.

Golden Gate Bridge
Golden Gate Bridge
The world-famous Golden Gate Bridge is a must-see, but doing so is easy, considering the 1.7-mile-long orange behemoth can be viewed from many vantage points. Connecting San Francisco to Marin County, the bridge is the city's only northern exit and is part of U.S. Route 1 and California Route 1. A pedestrian walkway runs the length, and bikes are allowed. (Check posted signs for the appropriate side to ride on; the schedule varies.) Fort Point Overlook offers a primo spot to snap photos.
Union Square
This landmark square is the largest district of retailers, restaurants, galleries and salons in the Western United States. The recently remodeled site boasts granite plazas, light sculptures designed by artist R.M. Fischer and four grand-entrance corner plazas bordered by palms. Find clothing stores, from Banana Republic and Anthropologie to Prada and Yves Saint Laurent, and an assortment of antique stores, art galleries and beauty and health shops. More than 40 hotels are located nearby, as are a variety of restaurants, bars and clubs for late-night dining and entertainment.
San Francisco Cable Cars
Cable cars have been transporting people around San Francisco since the late 19th century, and they're a great way to get conquer the city's notorious hills while enjoying some of the spectacular views and diverse neighborhoods. At Powell and Market streets, a turntable serves as the starting point for two lines, the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde. The Powell-Mason heads to Fisherman's Wharf, while the Powell-Hyde ends near Ghirardelli Square (hello, chocolate!).
Castro District
Spanning Castro Street, from Market Street to 19th Street, is the world's first, largest, and most famous gay neighborhood. It has been a symbol of gay pride since the sixties and seventies, when figures like Harvey Milk established themselves as business owners and activists. One of the district's most notable sites is the Castro Theatre, a movie palace constructed in 1922 that is still one of the city's best. Other sites of interest include Twin Peaks, the city's first gay bar, and Hartford Street Zen Center, a small Buddhist temple open to the public.
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Founded in 1935, SFMOMA was the first museum on the West Coast devoted to modern and contemporary art. Today, it continues that tradition, exhibiting and collecting works by modern masters and less-established artists. Audio guides, docent tours, interactive kiosks and public programs offer visitors diverse learning opportunities. SFMOMA's landmark building, just a short walk from downtown, displays a soaring atrium topped by a turret and oculus skylight. The MuseumStore features art books, design objects, furniture, jewelry and children's products.
Golden Gate Park
One of the largest urban parks in the world, this three-mile stunner is filled not only with natural beauty but also a science museum, art museum, flower conservatory and more. The California Academy of Sciences houses an aquarium, planetarium, natural history museum, and scientific research facility under one roof -- and a living roof, at that. Scale the deYoung Museum's 144-foot-high observation deck. The Japanese Tea Garden creates the perfect backdrop for munching fortune cookies, which were first created here in 1914.
Because of its natural isolation and the bay's cold, strong currents, Alcatraz housed Civil War prisoners, and years later, some of the country's most notorious criminals, including mobster Al Capone, the "Birdman of Alcatraz" and George "Machine Gun" Kelly. The prison closed in the 1960s, but the stories live on. Today, Alcatraz is partially a self-guided experience that you can do at your own pace. Advance reservations are highly recommended.
Palace of Fine Arts Theatre
Constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, this beauty reflects the domed and columned temples of ancient Roman and Greek style. Its exhibition hall, which once housed Impressionist paintings, is now home to a state-of-the-art science museum, the Exploratorium. The Palace is also the site of countless weddings and film backdrops, including the Alfred Hitchcock thriller "Vertigo" and "The Rock." A lagoon lined with Australian eucalyptus trees surrounds the area, making a perfect family-photo opportunity.
This golden nugget is the largest Chinatown outside of Asia, plus the oldest in North America. Its entrance, called the "Dragon's Gate," is at Grant Avenue and Bush Street. Inside are 24 blocks of hustle and bustle, most of it taking place along Grant Avenue, the oldest street in San Francisco. This city-within-a-city is best explored on foot: Exotic shops, renowned restaurants, food markets, temples and small museums form its boundaries. Visitors can buy ancient potions from herb shops, enjoy a dim sum lunch or learn how fortune cookies are made.

An anonymous reader writes "In a real life Prisoner's Dilemma taking place in the French city of Marseille, twin brothers have been arrested for a string of sexual assaults. While say they are sure that one of them committed the crimes (corroborated by a standard DNA test), police were told that it would cost upwards of €1m euros (£850,000, $1.3m USD) to distinguish between them using DNA evidence."

"And Khuft the camel herder became lost in the Desert, and there opened before him, as a Gift from the Gods, a Valley flowing with Milk and Honey", 'quoted Teppic, in a hollow voice. He added, 'I used to think it must have been awfully sticky.'
'There I was, dying of thirst, all the camels kicking up a din, yelling for water, next minute - whoosh - a bloody great river valley, reed beds, hippos, the whole thing. Out of nowhere. I nearly got knocked down in the stampede.'
'No!' said Teppic. 'It wasn't like that! The gods of the valley took pity on you and showed you the way in, didn't they?' He shut up, surprised at the tones of pleading in his own voice.
Khuft sneered. 'Oh, yes? And I just happened to stumble across a hundred miles of river in the middle of the desert that everyone else had missed. Easy thing to miss, a hundred miles of river valley in the middle of a desert, isn't it? Not that I was going to look a gift camel in the mouth, you understand, O went and brought my family and the rest of the lads in soon enough. Never looked back'
'One minute it wasn't there, the next minute it was?' said Teppic.
'Right enough. Hard to believe, isn't it?'
'No,' said Teppic. 'No, not really.'
Khuft poked him with a wrinkled finger. 'I always reckoned it was the camels that did it,' he said. 'I always thought they sort of called it into place, like it was sort of potentially there but not quite, and it needed just that bit of effort to make it real. Funny things, camels.'*
Tonyblack wrote:Well that still works - camels may be naturally good at mathematics. You Bastard is just the best.
"Three stomachs and a digestive system like an industrial distillation plant gave you a lot of time for sitting and thinking...."
"Its not generally realised that camels have a natural aptitude for mathematics, particularly where they involve ballistics. This evolved as a survival trait, in the same way as a human's hand and eye co-ordination, a chameleon's camouflage....."
"And this particular camel, the result of millions of years of selective evolution to produce a creature that could count the grains of sand it was walking over, and close its nostrils at will, and survive under the broiling sun for many days without water, was called You Bastard".

swreader wrote:Who is Dios?
Tony and I were talking about Dios this morning, and about Dios and Khuft. He said that Dios claimed to have a tomb buiilt for him. So I checked (having said, would you trust anything Dios said), and at the beginning of Teppic's reign after he and Dios have ordered the building of the giant pyramid, Teppic talks about how the pyramids radiate age, and asks (p. 97) if Dios will get one. "A pyramid?" said Dios. "Sire, I have one already. It pleased one of your forebears to make provision for me."
But, when Teppicymon and Gern and Dil reach the last of the pyramids to let out Khuft, they find the tomb is open and there are counting marks on the walls. And we know that Dios makes those marks.
So my question is, is it possible that Khuft is Dios?

- Great, reasonable product Review by Stacy
Price Value Quality
First of all I can't believe a decent eye cream is this price, but more importantly I love it. It's a great texture that you can put on just before makeup without any issue. Smells good too. Really does the job and keeps my skin well hydrated.

- My secret Review by fishface
Price Value Quality
When I run into people I haven't seen in years, they always tell me I look the same: I'm convinced that's because of this product. I'm in my early thirties and started using it a couple years ago. It took away the lines that were beginning to form and has kept my eyes line-free. Love it!!! And, despite the bottle's small size, it lasts a really long time. Great value!

- Can't go a day without it! Review by Anne
Price Value Quality
This morning when I got to work I felt as though my eyes were extra puffy. Then to confirm my thoughts, a co-worker asked if I had slept okay last night (which I had). I racked my brain and then realized I forgot to apply my Eye Restore before putting on my make-up this morning! I have used this product religiously over the past 6 months but never really realized the impact of it until today. It decreases my puffiness, my under-eye circles and hydrates the fine lines that have begun to develop in recent years. I won't be forgetting this vital step anymore... a must-have product for this 29 year old lady!

- The Best! Review by Helen Marie
Quality Value Price
This has got to be one of my all time favorite face products! I use it in the morning because of its light consistency before I apply my makeup and it keeps my eyes fresh, de-puffed and the wrinkles at a miniumum. You just can't go wrong with this product.

Was finding Osama bin Laden child's play? Maybe the crack team of national security experts our government employs should ask some undergrad geography students...
College kids at UCLA put their beer bongs down long enough to guess with an almost 90% likelihood that Osama was hunkered down where he was found...and they did it TWO YEARS AGO!
In Obama's speech announcing they got him he said he received intelligence of his whereabouts months ago. So something doesn't smell right.
In fact something about all of this stinks, bad, like Michelle Obama's steamed cabbage for the kids bad.
Either the government knew where he was, but they didn't want to go busting down the door of
every the mansion standing in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Or they were two years behind a bunch of college kids who should have counter-terrorism jobs lined up for them the second they graduate.
Is it just me or did anyone else notice how everything turned into a big cluster *@*# the second the Seals passed the ball back to this administration?
Let's give him a funeral in accordance to
how he killed our people Muslim tradition
Don't release the pictures...release the pictures...what if people photoshop them....what if they tag their friends to it on Facebook, will people know it's not really them?
If we show the photo then that puts to rest a bunch of conspiracy theories, and how could we possibly keep count then?
Nobody can divulge the identities of who conducted the raid....ok....good.....wait, JOE DID WHAT?!?....
The military did a fantastic job of taking care of Osama.
Meanwhile, the government has been flawlessly protecting its reputation of incompetence.

text: You can't talk about heel champions, and dissmiss the divas as irrelavant!! The whole angle around Beth Phoenix and Natalya becoming the "divas of doom" or "pin-up strong" as they're now calling it. Leading on to Beth finally getting the title last nigh is probaly the most heel storyline of any relating to the titles... well behind Henrys moster heel thing anyway.

This review is from AVERY Round Label, 12 per sheet, 5294:
I use these labels all of the time to make labels for jars that I have canned. It is easy to add pictures and text and print. I love them!
This review is from AVERY Round Label, 12 per sheet, 5294:
I create many types of party favors for weddings, baby showers, birthdays with many of Avery Labels. I enjoy the ease of the downloads and designs to create many beautiful pieces. Avery is the best and simplest!
This review is from AVERY Round Label, 12 per sheet, 5294:
I use Avery labels all the time & love them! I purchased a new storage bench for weights but unfortunately it did not have designated spots for each weight per pound. My first thought was to search thru Avery for labels that I could customize for the bench. I came across these round labels and was able to enter each needed weight number. They fit perfectly on the bench & now it looks like I have a professional gym at home. Love it!
This review is from AVERY Round Label, 12 per sheet, 5294:
The local high school Boosters were having a tailgate party, and wanted to identify each participant by graduating class and as an indication that they had paid their entry fee. The Avery design template worked great to put the mascot and large graduation year on the round label, which also served to fasten a spirit ribbon to each alumna's shirt for added flair!
This review is from AVERY Round Label, 12 per sheet, 5294:
As the title indicates, I love the 2 1/2" diameter round labels. We use a lot of Kraft Parmesan Cheese which comes in wide mouth plastic jars. I started saving these jars for my shop. They are great for nuts, bolts, etc
But the hard part how to label the jars since they are in a drawer just below my workbench. Avery 5294 round labels to the rescue! I print labels indicating type of screw bolt, etc and affix the label to the jar cap.
Presto, I can see in a flash which jar contains the type of fastener that I am looking for!

You have to understand the mentality of the Undertaker. Go back and watch some interviews from 2001-2003, when he was able to do some since he was in his biker persona. He wants the youth to step up and take the business to new heights - and he wants to be a guy that can usher that new era in.
The man is a legend in wrestling and always will be, no matter what happens in the future.
