Cannaregio is the second largest district in Venice, and stretches across the north western portion of the city. The history of this area goes back to at least 1000 A.D., and possibly earlier, with the first settlements being constructed on the islands of San Giovanni Crisostomo and Santi Apostoli. Staying in self catering accommodation in Cannaregio, Venice, will enable you to feel at one with this old city, and marvel on a day-to-day basis at its wonderful architecture, and of course, unique canal system.
If you are looking for an all-round good neighbourhood, with just the right balance of restaurants, bars, shops and general services, then an apartment in Cannaregio will be ideal. Quiet walks will reveal hitherto unknown corners; it is not overflowing with tourist crowds, and is a place that you will soon feel at home in. The best way to travel is by foot, but the vaporetto can be quite useful, and the district is also served by water buses which run down the Grand Canal, along the north shore and up and down the Cannaregio canal. The main street connects the railways station with the Rialto, which can be quite touristy, but does afford some nice photo opportunities. Stuffed full of history, there are churches galore to explore in Cannaregio, as well as other architectural delights to witness. Any holidays in Cannaregio, Venice, would not be complete without a ride along the canal in a gondola, and there are ample to choose from!
Venice as a whole is a fascinating place to visit, and its attractions seem somewhat endless. A trip to the Piazza San Marco is vital, and from there buildings such as St. Mark's Basillica, Doges Palace and Torre dell'Orologio can all be seen. Venice is also home to some unique works of art, which date from the middle ages and onwards. The Gallerie dell'Accademia is the best place to see the finest works in one location. If you are feeling uplifted after seeing some art, then classical music may also be calling you. Listening to Vivaldi being played in Venice is an absolute must, and if it is possible, catching the Venice Baroque Orchestra will be a memorable experience. If you like Shakespeare, and are feeling romantic, then why not visit Juliet's balcony? A cunning mix of commercialism meets history even enables you to tie the knot there if the romance of Venice has really got to you!
Holidays in Venice are popular the year round, although of course, the weather is better suited in some months more than in others for the tourist. The hot months of July and August in summer can see the temperature rise to over 30 degrees Celsius, and there is also humidity in the air. If travelling during this period, it might be worthwhile checking to see if the apartment in Venice has some form of air conditioning or other ventilation. The depths of winter can see the temperature fall to around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius; whilst the late autumn can see heavy thunderstorms that can lead to some of the canals overflowing. Perhaps bringing some sort of waterproof shoes with you during this time might be a good idea!
The majority of flights in and out of Venice come through the Marco Polo airport (VCE), which lays about 12 km outside of the city. Most major airlines fly here from a variety of cities such as London Gatwick (LGW), Bristol (BRS), East Midlands (EMA), Manchester (MAN) and London Stansted (STN). The airlines to choose from include British Airways, Alitalia, Flybe, easyJet and Ryan Air.

The so-called Open Payments program is intended to shine a light on potential ethical conflicts and allow patients to look up their doctors online. The first batch of data, however, will be incomplete, covering only a few months at the end of 2013. Journalism website ProPublica says it has tracked 3.4 million payments to health professionals since 2009, totaling more than $4 billion.
(Daily Report) Sep 30
Commercial insurers are moving rapidly from the old system of paying health providers for every test or procedure they do toward payments based on the value rather than volume of services, according to a report by Catalyst for Payment Reform, a business coalition focused on health care costs.
Elsewhere, The Associated Press reports on a new advertising approach for Viagra -- a TV commercial that targets women.
The database, which was created by the health law, offers only the most basic information, according to USA Today.
The administration has notified more than 300,000 people that they need to provide documentation to keep their health insurance subsidies. Also in news on the health law, supporters are weighing a new focus on the individual mandate, and the administration promises changes to the ACO rules.
A selection of opinions on health care from around the country.
Today's early morning highlights from the major news organizations, including preview stories regarding the launch of the Open Payments database -- a federal government website which will provide information on drug company payments to tens of thousands of physicians.
Enrolling new customers will be more complicated this time around because potential enrollees may be harder to reach, reports The Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, Fox News looks at the potential risks of automatic re-enrollment for consumers. The law's impact on hospitals, insurance companies and uninsured people is also in the news.
(Daily Report) Sep 29
The Los Angeles Times reports that, for Californians, the state's largest insurers are likely to stick with, or even reduce, the size of their doctor networks for the upcoming plan season. Additionally, no comprehensive directory is available to help consumers match their physicians with their health plans. Meanwhile, The Washington Post also explores how the issue is playing out in the context of a ballot initiative.
Caremark LLC, a unit of CVS, will make the payments to settle allegations that it knowingly failed to reimburse Medicaid for prescription drug costs paid on behalf of patients who were also covered by private plans it administered. The company denied wrongdoing.

Having been frustrated with a lack of UK grown produce featuring in the London restaurant market Mark Jankel has spent the last year travelling the country in search of a sustainable and quality food supply chain.
Having discovered this supply chain, in a group of farms that are passionate about connecting themselves to the end user without often inefficient middle men, Mark has created The Food Initiative which will open a restaurant in the new year that focuses on a sustainable supply chain as its core ethos.
Mark was Executive chef for First Restaurant group for two years where he learned how to run and manage a group of five restaurants. He was Head chef of the Notting Hill Brasserie where he achieved three AA rosettes, a Harden's Remy award and a nomination for Harper's and Queen Chef of the year.
Mark has been building up his culinary experience for the last ten years, working with amongst others, Philip Howard at the Square, Jun Tanaka at Pearl and Raphael Duntoye at La Petite Maison.
Mark holds a B.Sc. (hons) in Environmental Science from the University of East Anglia.
Since Mark is passionate about food - its source, production and distribution - it was inevitable that his culinary and environmental interests would fuse.
Born in the US to Japanese parents, Jun Tanaka has headed up the kitchen at Pearl since its opening in June 2004. During this time, the restaurant has gained an excellent reputation for its modern French cuisine, served in the beautiful surroundings of the historic Pearl Assurance building.
Having started at Le Gavroche at the age of 19, Jun spent the next ten years working with some of London's best chefs in seven top Michelin star restaurants, where he perfected the art of fine French cuisine.
Prior to Pearl, Jun worked and trained at Le Gavroche, Chez Nico, The Capital, The Square and Les Saveurs. He also worked under Marco Pierre White at both The Restaurant Marco Pierre White and The Oak Room. This refinement and high standard of cooking is now evident throughout the dishes at Pearl, where the menus are changed regularly to incorporate the best seasonal produce and ingredients.
Jun is a firm believer in using the best ingredients in season and ensuring that all ingredients used are not masked or over complicated, but enhanced to bring out their natural flavours, producing a clean and distinct taste.
In May 2009, Jun launched his first recipe book, "Simple to Sensational". The book demonstrates easy, everyday recipes and then shows how these recipes can be transformed into spectacular dinner party dishes in just a few simple steps.

UPS increases flights to Asia
The delivery company is a key component of some manufacturing supply strategies.
The delivery firm had previously scaled back routes to Asia when it recorded a drop in consignments of consumer electronics, echoing a slump seen by competitor FedEx (FDX). But UPS Airlines President Mitch Nichols told Dow Jones the slowdown has now been reversed, bolstering the firm's supply chain outlook. If this division keeps expanding, we see a potential 17% upside to the stock's value.
See full analysis for UPS here
Supply chain back on track
The average consumer probably doesn't worry too much about how their favorite gadgets make it from factories in the Far East to local retailers. But for Asian manufacturers, supply-chain efficiency will often determine the success or failure of their business. Many such companies choose to forward freight through UPS, attracted to its fleet of 230 aircraft, its presence in 195 countries and its ability to outsource logistics management functions.
Though supply chains account for just 8.5% of the UPS stock price, according to Trefis estimates, we expect this division to become an increasingly vital revenue generator. After a sharp fall in demand during the global recession, supply-chain revenues rose from $5.63 billion in 2009 to an estimated $7.13 billion this year. With high barriers to entry and a resilient economic outlook, we expect this growth to continue throughout the Trefis forecast period, reaching $10 billion by 2010.
Asian tech companies look to North America
Based on our current model, we have a Trefis price estimate of $84 for UPS, which equates to a 15% upside to the stock's current price. Our bullish outlook would inevitably come under review if the global economy were to flag significantly, but recent research shows that even a slowdown in Chinese output is unlikely to undermine supply chain demand.
According to the UPS-sponsored survey, conducted by IDC Manufacturing Insights, 19% of Asian high-tech firms plan to source supplies and raw materials from North America over the next three to five years. Higher demand on these routes will be driven by rising costs in China, while intra-Asian routes operated from UPS hubs like Hong Kong also stand to benefit. Whether strengthening links between America and Asia, or maturing new routes within Asia, UPS appears well placed to capitalize on continued traction in global economic fortunes.

Chili is the quintessential autumn food, is it not? Warm, hearty, spicy–I love it to DEF. Mmmmmnomnomnomnom! It' funny because once upon a time, I hated chili. My mother would make it for dinner and I would require a separate meal. She was so good to me. Now chili is firmly in the things-I-used-to-hate-but-now-love category, keeping bell peppers and asparagus company. One of the best things about chili is that there are a million different ways to do it. This recipe here is the quick and dirty version that shows up often in the Team Bowman household. It is LITERALLY two steps. Could not be easier.Ingredients
1 pound ground beef, turkey, or whatever
3 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
2 15 oz cans of kidney or chili beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons dale's steak seasoning or worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons barbeque sauce or ketchup
salt and pepper to taste
- Brown your meat of choice in a skillet over medium-high heat; drain.
- Combine all ingredients in a crockpot and set for 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
- Top with your choice of chili accoutrements and enjoy!

Whenever news organizations talk about tragedies, there is also usually some good news to offer. You've seen the devastating damage, but there is hope. Thankfully, there are good people out there lending a hand.
Volunteers are helping others get back on their feet after serious flooding took a serious toll across the Chicago area, especially in Forest View. The town is home to roughly 700
residents; nearly all of them had taken in water from the flood
One man has already received three days of help, from a man he doesn't even know. A Berwyn man helped get David Liska's house near 46th and Oak Park back in order. Liska was able to return to his home of 30 years after being evacuated during the storms.
wife and I have just been, I think Monday we both just sat and cried by the
outpouring of support and the blessings that we've received out of this
tragedy," Litka says.
Village has been trying to assist residents by linking them up with volunteers.
"It means a lot," says Volunteer Coordinator Barbara Trainor. "Our
village officials are just amazed at the amount of assistance we've gotten. You
don't realize how much…there are still a lot of good people in the world
The boxes and bags of personal items and furniture had to be piled up like trash on the curbs of many Forest View streets. Front-loaders, garbage trucks and tow trucks have been working non-stop to clear the debris as the 8 ft. flood water recedes.
Liska said he has never seen storm damage to this extent – he's only seen water seepage to six inches of rain at the most in the three decades he has spent in Forest View.
He asked for help on his Facebook page when he was able to return home. Rick from Berwyn, co-workers and family members offered to come by, and then all of the sudden they were at his front door, asking where to begin.
Liska said the whole block has received help in this way, from church groups, volunteer organizations and people who have extra vacation time to spend have been helping flood victims get their lives back to normal.
Brian Shelton, whose father was affected by the flood, volunteered by doing a lot of the heavy lifting in the neighborhood.
"They needed help," says Shelton. "So there's a lot of people pitching in on a lot of the little things that mean a lot."
The Riha family can attest to that.
"He was very good with my father because my father had trouble letting go of things and he was very good, he said I understand," says Patti Riha, whose parents' home was damaged. "I don't know how you thank somebody who does this out of the goodness of his heart."
Years worth of memories have been destroyed because of this flood, but the families are forever grateful for the goodness and dedication of these volunteers.

Medical history so often includes intersections and byways that seem to take us into folklore, fiction, and the Gothic imagination itself.
While researching "monstrous" births from the early 1800s, I came across the following reprint of Kirby's wonderful and scientific museum: or, Magazine of remarkable characters. The story recounts a child "covered with long hair" and "grovel[ing] upon the ground" is fastened to a post like a dog. Described as "wild and ferocious," the story resembles those of the dog children—but the narrative has been embellished with the tone and phrasing now made famous by the Gothic narratives from Udolpho onwards. The "gentleman" who reports the scene says "he never say so wild and wretched a spot as the situation of the poor hut where they reside" and that "A most horrible mystery seems to hang over the whole."[i] The landscape, a repeated trope of wretched wildness, is imbued with mysterious overtones that have, mainly, to do with paternity.… Read the rest

Montreal Canadiens forward Georges Laraque is outraged by recommendations made by general managers participating in the annual NHL GM meetings in Naples, Florida.
"All of their recommendations are a joke!" Laraque charged after reading the NHL's plans on TSN.ca.
League managers are recommending the existing instigator penalty be called more frequently in an effort to curb fighting. In addition, the GMs will push for stiff punishment for those involved in what the NHL calls "staged fights" - fights that usually erupt immediately following face-offs.
It's that proposed penalty - a 10-minute misconduct - which really angers Laraque.
"Stupidest thing ever!" Laraque told TSN. "I think it's a joke. They might as well take fighting out of the NHL...fighting won't be safer; it will be eliminated because an added 10 minute misconduct is too much."
The referee will determine whether a fight qualifies as "staged", and Laraque insists this rule adjustment will eliminate jobs: "This will take the one-dimensional player out of the NHL because that's who they will say starts a staged fight."
Laraque says NHL enforcers, who are often used to try and change the momentum of a game, will be forced out.
"Why even bother showing up for training camp?," Laraque questioned.
Laraque says he has been told by NHLPA Executive Director Paul Kelly that he will be involved in a discussion panel on fighting to promote a safer environment.
"Bottom line, I don't agree with what they are recommending," Laraque said. "No one in that meeting does it (fights) for a living. Why am I not there, or Boogaard, or a player who this is directly going to impact?".
Kelly responded to Laraque's cutting comments by stating that it's his belief the recommendations made this week in Florida will have to clear through the CBA process before becoming reality.
"Coming out of the lockout, all matters relating to the game, including recommended fighting and hits to the head rules that were discussed at the GM meetings, must ultimately go through the joint NHLPA/NHL Competition Committee. The committee is responsible for making rule recommendations to the NHLPA's Executive Board and the NHL's Board of Governors. The Competition Committee will be meeting in June and our members will have further opportunity to provide their input to the NHLPA's Competition Committee members prior to this meeting," Kelly told TSN.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly says the league will observe protocol, but supports the manager's platform to make such recommendations.
"We have every intention of fully briefing the Competition Committee on today's deliberations and recommendations by the General Managers, and engaging the members in a thorough and wide-ranging discussion of the issues associated with those recommendations. But at the end of the day, we have existing rules in our Rulebook and the General Managers are fully authorized to provide guidance to our officiating staff as to how those rules have been and should be interpreted and enforced going forward," Daly told TSN.
Georges Laraque says he's aware his reaction to the recommendations is likely to upset league executives: "I'm aware of the criticism I will face for speaking up and being vocal. I'm trying to protect the other guys. I'm at the end of my career, for me it doesn't matter. I'm for safety, but not the elimination of fighting and these recommendations are leading to that."
Laraque said he is disappointed the GMs didn't focus more on helmet regulations and still believes the NHL needs to make wearing helmets in fights mandatory. In early February, Laraque told TSN.ca: "The whole world is watching because someone in our sport has died. The Ontario Hockey League made changes, so what examples are we providing? If we don't adjust, we're a bush league!"

Here's What Our Customers Have To Say…
"Hey Andrew,
Awesome plugin. I'm using MemberSonic right now. Much easier that Digital Access Pass and others.
Ron Douglas RonDouglas.com
"MemberSonic gets a 2 thumbs up from me!
Early in February I had a new product release that I did on the Warrior Forum in the form of a Warrior Special Offer (WSO). My biggest concern in doing WSOs is the delivery method. I've seen many big named marketers have initial bad remarks – not about their product but about problems they had in getting the product after they paid.
Well I used MemberSonic and after the first few minutes and 27 sales in those first few minutes, I knew I had nothing to worry about with my product delivery.
It is the best Membership site software I've used – & I own way more than I'm willing to say.
MemberSonic, with the awesome support that Andrew provides & the detailed video guides, is super easy to setup no matter what your level of 'techieness' is.
And like I said, Andrew provides Industry-Leading customer support so if you have feature requests / suggestions, let him know and if the demand is there then you can expect the requested feature in a future update.
For what this program does & the level of support behind it, I'm surprised Andrew isn't charging $200-$300. I've paid that for other membership site plugins and because of the steep learning curve I've not dedicated the time to put the pieces together so it sets on my hard drive.
Now that I have MemberSonic, all the other membership scripts I own are virtual dust collectors now.
Whether you are, or are wanting to market products individually or as part of a membership site, you now have the platform to do all the heavy lifting for you – MemberSonic!

Judd Apatow's "This Is 40." He also showed his acting chops in Paul Thomas Anderson's cult hit "Punch Drunk Love."
In addition to "The Cobbler," Sandler is circling Jason Reitman's next film "Men, Women & Children" so it's unclear which movie he will do first.

We're already mid-way through October and Halloween is right around the corner. I think I can safely say there are not a lot of things that are more fun than seeing our little ones dressed up for the big night.
Whether you make a costume or purchase one, there are safety tips that can help your child have a good time and hopefully avoid an unexpected trip to the emergency room.
When it comes to costumes, choosing the right fabric is very important. Look for flame-resistant fabrics such as nylon or polyester, or look for the label "Flame Resistant." Flame-resistant fabrics will resist burning and should extinguish quickly. You can purchase flame resistant fabric at most fabric outlets if you're thinking of creating a costume from scratch.
While all fabrics will burn, some are more combustible than others. Untreated fabrics such as cotton, linen and silk burn more easily than wool, which is more difficult to ignite and burns with a low flame velocity. Most synthetic fabric, such as nylon, acrylic or polyester resist ignition and are usually the materials used for flame –resistant costumes. However, once ignited, the fabrics will melt. It's extremely important to make sure your child stays clear of candles and other fire sources.
To minimize the risk of contact with candles and other fire sources, avoid costumes made with flimsy materials and outfits with big, baggy sleeves, large capes or billowing skirts.
The traditional sheet with a couple of holes cut out for seeing may be quick and easy, but it's not a good choice for safety. Kids can easily trip over the extra material and often the eyes slits shift when the child is walking. They can easily miss an on-coming car, or trip over something on the ground. Too much extra material can also brush up against a candle or other fire sources and catch fire. Sheets are usually made from cotton, which can ignite quickly.
Make sure your child can be seen. Purchase or make costumes that are light-colored, bright and clearly visible to motorists. Decorate or trim costumes with reflective tape on the front, back and sides that will glow in the beam of a car's headlights. Bags or sacks also should be light-colored or decorated with reflective tape. Reflective tape is usually available in hardware, bicycle and sporting goods stores.
Give your child a flashlight to carry with them. There are lots of small but very bright flashlights available. They are typically inexpensive.
Good fitting shoes also help a child navigate sidewalks, curbs and lumpy yards. Although your little princess may look darling in a pair of ruby-red heels – flats are safer.
If your child wears a mask, make sure it fits securely, provides adequate ventilation, and has eyeholes large enough to allow full vision. Masks tend to get hot and annoying after awhile anyway, save your money and use non-toxic face paint to create a unique look.
Weapons of some sort or another always seem popular, especially with little boys. Make sure swords, knives and similar costume accessories are made of soft, flexible material. Hard plastic knives and swords can hurt another child if role-playing gets a little out of hand.
I know that most of us survived Halloween just fine when we were kids without taking the kinds of precautions mentioned above. But remember, that was a different time. Houses were spaced farther apart, traffic wasn't near as bad, drivers and walkers weren't as distracted, most costumes were pretty simple, and people weren't in as much of a hurry.
Costumes these days are big business and stores are filled to the brim with cute outfits that are made cheaply and without your child's safety in mind. Not all…. but enough to be concerned about.
Halloween is a big holiday and lots of people, of all ages, get in the spirit of dressing up and being goofy. Have a great Halloween and a safe one.

Can we ever design an experiment which can determine whether God exists?
I just find it hard to believe when people say : "There is no evidence for God". Yes there isn't because we can't design an experiment to prove or disprove this hypothesis.
However a very important thing, Which I devoted a whole TED Debate to (Here is the link to that debate : http://www.ted.com/conversations/17001/can_god_be_defined_or_in_othe.html), is that to work out whether the hypothesis is true we must first define what we mean by "God" (and "existence" for that matter), which I have found doesn't prove to be very successful. Otherwise we can't advance into going to making experiment for this hypothesis.
In science (I believe) theories can only be disproved and never proved to be "certain", so in this sense everybody has to be an agnostic about God, unless some genius in the TED community can come up with an experiment.
While another problem remains that we base all data we have on experimental data we have gained from the past, and expect the future to be consistent.
So in this sense I am a strong agnostic / Ignostic because God hasn't really been defined (and only has subjective definitions) and that I can't genially think of an experiment to determine whether God exist of not. So yes in the literal sense there is no "evidence" but that's only because no experiment have been done.
(Also there remains the slight problem with the fact that there is a degree of uncertainness in everything, and that no matter how logical and rational a hypothesis may seem it can always be proved false, or untrue)
My final point would be I see no correlation with an absence of evidence, and an evidence of absence! (This is very important)
And of-course, I apologize for repeating myself (if I have done so!) and my awful spelling and grammar.
Just so I say now, so I get no confusion, this is just an honest enquiry as to whether it can be done! (Not trying to reduce "God" in any way!)
Closing Statement from Bernard White
I'm slightly worreid I won't do a good job of this summary but here I go :
I must first say this :
I implore everybody to look at my "new" God debate :
What does the theological implications do the "Psychology" and "Neuroscience" (and possibly biology) of religion/ "God(s)" have?
Link : http://www.ted.com/conversations/18226/what_does_the_theological_impl.html
This has been a wonderful debate with lots of interesting idea's. However I view, with the majority consensus, (and please correct me if I have got this wrong) that there isn't a experiment which can (dis)prove the existence of "God(s)".
I would just like to congratulate everybody for their amazing contributions to the conversation. It has given me a lot to ponder.
Kind regards (to all),

Apr 29 2013: Salman,
IMO God is not an answer, I know physicists that hold ( a variety)religious beliefs , but none of them bring them to work, as to say: Gd is behind fluid mechanics or dark matter. Theory in Physics is not speculation, you can speculate with a hypothesis but eventually you have to do the hard work to assemble a theory via the scientific method and peer review. Who re the WE that assume God? And is not part of the created? And beyond nature, Salman what do you mean by that? What does that mean? What is the interface between the "above nature " and this reality ( the only one I know) . And you are so correct I cannot see that supernatural, Is that like Saint Nick? or Zeus, Osiris? Ra? ???
I mean Salman you are pulling a hypothetical being out of thin air...
What if I were to tell you that the whole universe is a supercomputer creation like The Matrix film? Or that the whole universe shrunk by 20 cm so fast that we could've have not detected it (rulers included).
Look, I respect your beliefs and will defend the right all of us have to express our views.
Things that do not exist cannot be the cause of other things, or maybe the supernatural; is the cause of things but in order to play in the game it has to exist first. This is baseline.
Three categories: Things known to exist(my phone bill), things known not to exist(Superman), things that may possibly exist(A cancer cure), // thus things known to exist are the most plausible explanations. And until we can demonstrate their existence things that do not exist and possibly exist just don't exist.
-"Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a
problem which he has to solve"
E Fromm
Apr 30 2013: The quote from E FROMM is all what im saying.
Absolutely, im not looking at god from the perspective of proving a physical phenomenon. Let the scientists deal with HOW and WHY things occur Im more into why the WHY and HOW occur.
we are trying but are still a bit on different planes. Lets take it from here. The WE as in we humans, those of us who think of a god or believe in one.
Well it goes like this. When a sculptor sculpts or an artist paints, does he become part of his creation or not. Or is it that he imparts the creative intuition in the creation so that when other people look at it, they know whose efforts are these?
The interface between that reality and this reality is the soul.
Even i can't see the supernatural That's what makes it interesting.
Well my mind can perceive supercomputers and matrix and isaac asimov and l hubbard. So it would be easier to conclude.
God another ball game in another ball park so to speak.
For any person, god can only be discovered after man discovers a few things on his own.
Like why do we die and what is the need for any human to die. The purpose of human life generally.
What after death? Does the soul exist in myself? when sufficient criticism is done by an individual on his own self, then and only then a plausible answer is reached.
But I'm not here to convince you on either side. It is yours to decide in the end.
You can also read Karl Popper and Fasificationism and the science of the soul by kevin t favero
Anything for me too read as well? i keep an open mind.
PS i do respect you views and also believe that it is everybody's right to express their views and stand by them.
Apr 30 2013: On different planes indeed.
There is absolutely no way anyone can provide proof of anything spiritual on the natural level. Impossible because that's how God protects our freedom. Our freedom to believe in (and love) a God, oi not.
The spiritual realm cannot be proven. We can love someone or something but there is no way to measure that like temperature or weight (or anything else physical). That's wny we have to proof our partner that we love them by action. Just saying "I love you" proofs nothing.
Neither our partner or science can tell w h a t we think. It can be determined t h a t we think because our brain reacts to it. That's how ly-detectors work, they don't read our thoughts.
Humanity is created so the God of love, can love everyone in heaven, be part of them and make them happy to eternity.
If anyone would like to read about it, this is given in detail and consistently in this book. Many times people start reading this for the soul-reason to find fault and ridicule. Only to find it makes sense.
One more point, please do not think this is the only way to go. I do very much believe God accepts any person that is good, whatever their beliefs. So, take it or leave it.

A mayor in fact, if not in deed
While officially Blaine will not have a new mayor until the end of the month, unofficially John Liebert has been selected to take over from Dieter Schugt.
"We just sort of chit-chatted about it and he's the only one with the time," said council member Ken Ely at the October 11 meeting of city council. When asked if they had already decided if Liebert, now mayor pro tem and acting mayor, was to be given the job permanently, council members indicated they were in consensus he was. Ely said the decision was made at the September 27 work session prior to the announcement of Schugt's resignation in regular session. Schugt died of leukemia a week later.
Liebert and city manager Gary Tomsic were eager to emphasize that the decision was not final. "I don't recall that discussion coming to a conclusion," Tomsic said. "Council took no formal action." Liebert said the unofficial nature of his selection as mayor had prompted him to skip the agenda item under further business, which read "presentation of oath to mayor Liebert – Monday, October 25, 2004." There was no formal process," he said. "We went through the preliminary stages."
Officially a new council member will be appointed and a new mayor and mayor pro-tem selected during the regular meeting of October 25. However, the matter of who will be mayor appears to have been decided at an earlier work session, and council members will interview candidates for the new position at another work session, following which council will discuss alternatives and costs for the new sewer plant on Marine Drive.
Tomsic acknowledged a substantial portion of the process leading to a council decision on more complex issues occurred in work sessions. "The regular council meeting is typically reserved for council to perform the formal aspects of running the government," he said. "I don't think the council could possibly do their job well if every issue was thoroughly explored in regular council sessions. That's what work sessions are for – having time to share information, solve problems, work towards consensus."
Tomsic acknowledged that members of the public would need to attend the study sessions to be party to the information and arguments that led to the consensus presented in regular sessions. "Maybe what we ought to do is publicize better when we're having a study session and what the topic is," he said. However, he said, even if council reviews a matter in a study session, staff will present the matter to the public at regular session as well.

We went to the ship at about 2 PM and flew on, there was no line or delay of any kind.
We stayed in a penthouse suite which was lovely but showed signs of wear and age. One flaw in design is that the only thing between the toilet and the bedroom and deck window was a glass door, which my wife obscured with a cloth for privacy. Our friends had the adjacent penthouse and for our group of 6 it was ideal arrangement.
We ate in all the premium restaurants, and even at that we would give the food a grade of no higher than C. The food in the general dining rooms looked worse. But that did not stop us from enjoying the cruise immensely. The staff was very friendly and we found the service to be very good. We used the fitness center and the pools and the casino (the non-smoking casino level with slot machines and video machines offered a nice break from the smoky main casino).
Getting on and off the ship at the various ports of call was quite smooth, but rough seas at Roatan caused some delay in tender transport.
We wish that NCL would incorporate the daily service charge of $12. per person into the prepaid cabin fare. If the ship wants to say service is included, include it at the beginning, and not at the end.

From WENN.com
The actors played rival politicians in The Campaign, and Ferrell reveals he and Galifianakis became quite close by the time they finished shooting the satirical film, and even handed each other parting gifts.
But the Elf star admits his present was not the genuine article, telling Britain's The Sun, ""Zach told me how he had written to Bill Cosby as a kid but he never wrote back. So I got Bill Cosby's book and a headshot and forged his signature.
""I signed it, 'Better late than never - The Cos.'""
Ferrell softened the blow by tracking down a real signed book for his pal, who was thrilled with the token - but sad to wrap their collaboration.
Galifianakis adds, ""I wrote an email to Will in a coffee shop in New Orleans to tell him it was the best job I had ever had. I was crying when I wrote it. It was the best work experience I have ever had for sure.""

GAINSEVILLE, FL – Rutgers University junior Anthony Butler (Pittsgrove, NJ) was the headliner for the men's track and field team at the NCAA Regionals by winning the high jump championship at 2.16 meters (7-1), while Shameka Marshall (Mizpah, NJ) was the headliner for the RU women's team, qualifying for the NCAA Championships with a leap of 6.30 meters (20-8) to finish in fifth place in the long jump.
The NCAA Championships will take place at the University of Texas in Austin, TX June 9-12. While Butler and Marshall were the only Rutgers athletes who qualified for the NCAA Championships, there is a chance that junior discus thrower Sam Segond (East Stroundsburg, PA), 200-meter sprinter Rob Waters (Bellmawr, NY) and on the women's side, junior Amonica Phipps(Amherst, VA) in the 800-meter run, will gain at-large berths. Of the three, Segond appears to have the best chance. The NCAA will announce the at-large entries early next week.
Segond, the 2003 NCAA East Regional Champion in the discus, had a rare off weekend, fouling in all three attempts in the shot put and fouling on his first two discus throws before throwing 49.1 meters (161-05) on his third attempt which gave him a 17th place finish. As the ninth-ranked discus thrower in the nation, however, Rutgers head men's track and field coach Mike Mulqueen is hopeful that Segond will be invited to the NCAA Championships as an at-large entry.
"Sam has had a terrific season and I think he has an excellent chance of making it to the NCAA's," said Mulqueen.
In addition to Butler's first place finish in the high jump, another highlight for the men's team was Waters' continued fine freshman campaign. The Outstanding Track Performer at 2004 BIG EAST Outdoor Championships, Waters ran a personal best 20.97 in the 200-meter dash at the NCAA Regionals, easily topping his previous best of 21.21. Waters's 20.97 gave him an eighth place finish. Mulqueen believes Waters has an outside shot at gaining and at-large berth in the NCAA Championships in the 200-meter dash.
"For a freshman to finish in the top eight at the Regionals is fantastic," said Mulqueen. "To put this in perspective, Rob ran faster as a freshman than our all-time best sprinter at Rutgers, Elliott Quow (three-time All-American, 200-meter NCAA Champion one-time American record-holder in the 300-meter dash)."
Rutgers head women's track and field coach Roberta Anthes was enthused by the performances of the seven Rutgers women's athletes who competed in the NCAA Regionals. In addition to finishing fifth in the long jump, Marshall ran a personal best 13.52 in the 100-meter hurdles in the preliminary heat and her 13.64 in the finals gave her an eighth place finish.
Phipps set a personal best and a school record in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:07 to place seventh in the event. There is a chance that effort will be enough to gain Phipps an entry into the NCAA Championships as an at-large entry.
"Shameka making the NCAA's in the long jump is outstanding and there is a chance she'll be an at-large in the 100-meter hurdles," said Anthes. "And I am hopeful that Amonica will get an at-large berth in the 800. Her performance was terrific. I know she's not happy she didn't qualify (only top five finishers gain are automatic qualifiers) but I am very proud of her, as I am of all our athletes."
Perhaps the most inspirational note of the NCAA Regionals for the Rutgers women's team was that of Julie Culley (Lebanon, NJ), a standout in the 5000-meter run whose senior season was marred by a foot injury. Culley underwent arthroscopic surgery on her foot less than two weeks prior to the NCAA Regionals and she gutted out a time of 17:41.45, to finish 36th.
"Julie gave a valiant effort and her injury was a real shame," said Anthes. "Eight weeks ago, she ran a 16:48 which would have placed her about 10th in the Regionals."
Other competitors at the NCAA Regionals for Rutgers included Cycerli Ash (Beach Lake, PA), 48.0m in the discus, Kerry Ann Mitchell (East Orange, NJ), 5-8 ½ in the high jump, Kahimah Liverman (Paterson, NJ), 11.84m in the triple jump and Jen Austin (Garfield, NJ), 42.13m in the javelin.

magic $flags and $expiration vars show up in view but not doc
i noticed that if you query a view that emits the document, you get properties like $flag and $expiration, but if you query the http interface for the document url itself, it only shows _rev and _id, not any of the dollar sign magic variables. is there a reason behind that difference?
curl "http://192.168.96.128:8092/default/_design/test/_view/all?key=%22test%2Fquery-1324052106.5247-11152826%22"
curl "http://192.168.96.128:8092/default/test%2Fquery-1324052106.5247-11152826"
That's a situation where you're emitting the whole document in the view, is that correct?
It probably shouldn't do so, but it's pretty harmless. Thanks for raising it.
Matt have opened bug on that: http://www.couchbase.org/issues/browse/MB-4549
We're going to fix it by always returning memcached-level metadata in reply. Also note that memcached API is main CRUD (create, read, update, delete) API. CouchAPI for CRUD is not fully supported.
Thanks, that's the behavior I would have expected.

Haiku Designs
- Location: online only
- Website: haikudesigns.com
If you want a Japanese influenced bedroom, then Haiku Designs is a good place to check out. Found while googling for "modern bedroom" pics, Haiku Designs is a total resource for Japanese beds, bedding, furniture and artwork.
The website is a little cheesy, but what stood out to us were their beautiful tatami style beds ($800) and their organic futons ($995), made from organic cotton and natural latex. They also sell Shoji screens, Shoji doors, paper lamps and sleek dressers and media cabinets with modern Asian styling.
With a reader asking about futons last week and many people wanting to simplify their bedrooms and homes in general, Haiku Designs offers reasonable prices and super simple designs.

I've had my eye on their farmed mahogany edo period bed. I love the very unique headboard!
At under $700 it kind of sounds GREAT! I question the sturdiness of the slats, not being able to see and feel it in person.
Something a DIY truss job can improve if need be?
The low chairs from the same edo collection are way cool, too, and I think I'm gonna spring for the organic futon. (I've got organic sheets, but no bed or futon, yet. However the bedroom is nearing cmpletion.)
Funny how everything eventually makes it to AT:)
I own the Edo Bed! The slats are very sturdy, and there is a center beam down the middle of the bed for added security. I really love my bed; it's a nice warm modern look, not too sterile but still simple and low.
Please feel free to ask me any detailed questions you have about the bed. I was lucky enough to buy it from a showroom so I could sit on it and inspect it before purchasing.
WoW! Holly! Thanks so much for your feedback. I've really had my eye on this bed for a while and I'm really excited about buying it, although I'm nervous about getting such a big delivery in the mail. I'm so glad you're happy with it! I guess you got it out west somewhere.
Well you've answered the most pressing question. Thanks!
I just wish there was a showroom here in the nyc area. Alas.
It's the opening in the middle that has me worried about gashes to the back of the head.
Since writing the above, I went ahead and purchased the edo bed. Here's what happened:
I purchased and paid for a queen edo bed and queen organic futon mattress on April 13th, 2006. I am a very disatisfied customer. Below I explain why,
I am apalled at the disorganization and lack of concern for the way I have been treated after spending almost $2000 with Haikudesigns. I ordered and paid for an Edo bed and mattress. The bed arrived 4 weeks later, the mattress arrived 6 weeks later. (They state their policy is to ship within 1 to 3 weeks' time.) Not exactly prompt. The shipping company, Roadway, hires questionable local companies to deliver the product. The bed arrived damaged, with one box's top completely severed and the pieces delivered in the hands of the delivery man. (The matress arrived with one complaining surly delivery man and I had to do 60 % of the hauling of the very heavy futin mattress and he still waited for a tip!) Second shipment of damaged bed arrived damaged again, this time through UPS, because of insufficient packaging. When the third shipment arrived undamaged due to finally better packaging it became apparent that the replacements were sent from a different generation design of the bed.
The parts were side rails that had totally different materials joining the wood together (one had wood brackets, one had metal brackets -- the more current design) and didn't have a flush fit with the head and foot boards. The center rail drill holes didn't line up with the holes in the center metal bracket and one of the head rests was one entire inch off in the spacing of the legs attaching it to the bed and thus not fitting into the notches intended for it. The center metal bracket was screwed-in too high along the head and foot rails thus creating a slight rise in the way the center rail sits in the middle and thus the slats laying on top are not laying flush across the entire span of the bed, creating a bowed effect and hardness in the center of the bed. Unacceptable and uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, the damaged pieces from the original bed shipment fit even worse (this was me just trying to make it work any way I can, thinking I can perhaps use the damaged pieces since they came in the same shipment. The original center rail was too thick to even fit in the metal brackets intended for it and again the hole spacing didn't match, making me strongly suspect the design-to-manufacturing integrity of the bed.
Contacting the support person was not an expedient experience as he seemed to be out of the office a lot and no one else would get back to me. It is by then almost 2 months since Haikudesigns has had my money, since they did indeed precharge me and take my money BEFORE the items were ready to ship out. Unlike the stated claims of the website. It took a lot of work on my part to explain and make the support person understand what was going on, and he really tried, it seemed. I took all the necessary pictures and sent it to him. I have full documentation. I have spent an inordinate amount of time working on this problem, talking to him and taking and sending pictures, while sleeping on the floor and then after trying to work with the problems of the bed, after putting it together because I was sick of spending 2 months in a bedroom that had a mattress on the floor and bits and pieces of bed next to it. This while there is complete construction and renovation going on in the rest of the apartment. My bedroom was not and remains not a sanctuary to this day. The support person offered to ship me a new bed, not quite able to figure out how to solve the problems in any other way, but only if I donated the current configuration of incomplete bed and presented him with a receipt. This was unacceptable to me since that would involve even more hassle and still no guarantee of bed. I then emailed with an option to be sent a bed and upon it's safe arrival and fitting to then donate the currrent bed and send the receipt. This company has my money, but I do not have a satisfactory bed. I didn't hear from anyone for 3 days. Being completely exasperated, I had my business advisor take over the matter and after calling and inquiring at great length she was told that the support person, Bansi, whom I had been working with for 2 months on this was fired from the company!!!!!
No one called me, no one was concerned about my situation and when she was promised a follow-up that never happened, she called and was handed a new support person who had no idea about all that has transpired with my situation and was rude and dismissive, insinuating that I was lying and denying possibility of problems occurring with the bed. Not knowing anything about the case and not bothering to do the investigation into all the pictures that had been sent, he came off hostile and ignorant.
Now I am beyond furious. I found out about this website through 2 design blogs, Treehugger.com and Apartmenttherapy.com, and I will be forwarding this information to them as well as telling everyone I know about the haphazard nature of this company's business practices. The edo bed is available through a number of other companies but I decided to go through Haikudesigns because I was also purchasing an organic futon here. My experience has not been enjoyable but horrible. The packages arrived in flimsy cardboard boxes (and thus were severely damaged) and the worst thing is this complete disregard for solving my problems with this edo bed nor any concern for my wellbeing in suffering through this. Additionally, there have been mistakes along the way that needed me calling attention to them for resolution, such as overcharges, not alerting me to the free gifts on offer for spending as much money as I did and lack of attention to detail and follow-up.
Haikudesigns has had my money since April 13th and as of June 22, I am still without a proper bed as promised and paid for.
It's bad business practice on this company's part, I have spent a ton of time trying to help the company help me, and I will be disputing the charge with my credit card company.
Wow, sorry to hear of Olga's rant but appears justified. Our experience -
We recently ordered (May 2006)over $7,000 of Haiku Designs furniture to furnish an entire Condo (second residence) in Chicago.
Included was: Edo style bed, high chest, buffet, two zen chairs (s), three "coffee" tables, one nightstand, two silk comforters, one sleeper sofa and clock.
Our experience was entirely positive. We flew to Boulder to their offices to inspect what we wanted to purchase. Worked with their internet manager to ensure delivery during the single week we would be in Chicago. All e-mails were responded to same day. They revised the shipping invoices three times to update our contact info phones for Chicago.
The delivery was made the first day promised; everything arrived in undamaged and perfect condition; the delivery guys were great despite having to lug the huge single piece buffet up a twisting staircase in 90 degree heat/humidity (we tipped them $40 afterwards); furniture was easy to assemble with no missing, broken or mismatched parts. It looks great and we feel is a good value for the money. Room and Board had a similiar style high chest but wanted more than twice the amount.
We have nothing but praise for Haiku Designs.
I was a little skeptical after i read Olga's experience but Warren's and Holly's had been good. So, I went ahead and ordered Edo bedroom set along with High chest, dresser and also the 5 piece dining room set. The folks at Haiku designs were very nice to me and prompt in their response. I spent about 5 grand on the furniture and everything was shipped on time ( actually in less than 2 weeks). I got the furniture even before i actually moved to my condo and it was perfect timing.
My buddy and I put together the Edo bed yesterday and it is absolutely amazing. I haven't put together the Dining room set yet.
Overall, i am very pleased with Haikudesigns.com and would definitely recommend them as my experience with them was very positive. Thanks to Dan, Lavynder and Jessica's great customer service.
I ordered a natural latex mattress and beautiful Kyoto platform bed from this company, Haikudesigns. Everything arrived in perfect condition and we've been sleeping on it for a couple of weeks and just love it. What a great mattress!! Our sleep has never been so good and the amazing thing is that my husband Reed no longer snores. Amazing and wonderful. I really appreciated the quality of the product and the quality of the service from haikudesigns.
From: email@example.com [mailto:ord
I have bought from Haikudesigns and been very happy with their products and service. One thing I thing I found helpful, is that you can actually get a person to speak with on the phone.
It seems most sites don't offer that anymore, so it was good to be able to speak to an actual person, when I had some questions about the beds and how they were built, and how delivery was going to happen.
Everything we ordered was pretty much as represented. I would recommend this company.

I have been interested in the Edo bed for 2 years now. Could someone tell me how comfortable (or un-) is the head board? Are they 90 degrees or less.
Thank you
I am actually interested in the Raku Tatami bed. Does anybody have it? and would they be able to comment on the quality of the wood? Unfortunately I cannot make it to Boulder, CO to examine the bed frame in person. Any feedback would be appreciated.
to wilson: the headboard is actually a little more than 90 degrees. they are also adjustable by height.
Yeah, that is actually the EDO bed from SITCOM Furniture - now a discontinued model. Haiku Designs has a bad habit of claiming design ownership of the furniture they "resell".
They offer bedroom furniture from Sitcom, Lifestyle Solutions, Modus, Rossetto, Couture International, and Lin's Oriental Imports - most of which you can get from Walmart.com much lower in price and shipping.

A partial freight train derailment in West Jordan brought nearby TRAX light rail traffic to a crawl during Wednesday morning's commute, but was cleared by noon.
The 3:30 a.m. Wednesday derailment involved the front two engines of a Savage Systems freight train hauling 15 cars, 10 of them empty and five containing tanker loads of isobutane gas. None of the tankers were compromised, but the engines, while upright, were teetering off the rails near 4000 W. 9000 South in West Jordan.

|Post a Comment
Savage spokeswoman Rebecca Boucher confirmed that no injuries occurred and none of the cars behind the engines had derailed. She said the cause of the accident was under investigation, though company personnel reported were looking at the possibility of a faulty rail switch being a factor.
Light rail traffic — specifically the "Red" line leading to the University of Utah campus — was delayed about 15-20 minutes as trains shared the one remaining rail span to get through the accident scene.
Utah Transit Authority spokesman Remi Barron said that in addition to that, a "bus bridge" was used to ferry commuters around the scene.

The Congress finds that the volume of housing being produced for families and individuals of low or moderate income must be increased to meet the national goal of a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family, and declares that it is the policy of the United States to encourage the widest possible participation by private enterprise in the provision of housing for low or moderate income families. The Congress has therefore determined that one or more private organizations should be created to encourage maximum participation by private investors in programs and projects to provide low and moderate income housing.

11/9/12 LiLo Pulling Out of Interview
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, November 9, 2012
MILEY CYRUS is denying rumors that she and LIAM HEMSWORTH are having three weddings. They're only having one. On "Ellen" yesterday she said, quote, "That's my day and whatever I want on that day will be about me and that moment." But it's not happening right away because she's focusing on her music right now.
JUSTIN BIEBER and RIHANNA are both giving to the hurricane relief effort. --Justin is donating $1 from every ticket sold to four upcoming New York-area shows . . . while Rihanna is donating $1,000 sleeping bags.
The "Star" says that CHRISTINA AGUILERA tried to get VANESSA HUDGENS into a THREE-WAY with her and her boyfriend. It reportedly happened at a party last month. A source says, quote, "Christina stumbled over to Vanessa and begged her to come back home with her and Matt. Vanessa was taken aback but smiled and politely declined the offer."
CHARLIE SHEEN has been accused of threatening to blow a guy's head off with a semi-automatic machine gun. --The unidentified man was a friend of Charlie's, but they had a bad falling out. And Charlie supposedly texted a mutual friend saying, quote, "I'll blow his head off with my Super 90." --When the guy found out, he filed a police report.
"Dancing With the Stars" co-host BROOKE BURKE-CHARVET announced yesterday that she needs surgery for thyroid cancer. But it doesn't sound too serious. --Doctors found a "tiny nodule" during a routine checkup, so further tests were ordered. --Brooke said, quote, "I got my results back days later and they were atypical, which means that the doctors couldn't confirm whether the nodule was cancerous or benign. --So I had to go and do a whole bunch of additional tests and get second opinions. Long story long, I got my results back and they were not good." --But she adds, quote, "I'm going to be fine. And I feel really really strong. Doctors say this is a good kind of cancer to have."
Lindsay Lohan has pulled out of an interview with Barbara Walters for ABC's "20/20". --Lohan was scheduled to be on the show November 16. But her new PR reps were dissatisfied with the direction ABC wanted to take the interview.
11/8/12 Kirstie Alley Opens Up Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, November 8, 2012
On the "Today" show yesterday, SAVANNAH GUTHRIE asked KRISTEN STEWART if she's back together with ROBERT PATTINSON. And even though we all know she is, she wouldn't admit it. --She said, quote, "Funny you mention that. I'm going to just let people watch whatever little movie they think our lives are. Keep 'em guessing, I always say."
There have been rumors about JOHN TRAVOLTA'S sexuality for a while now, but they really ramped up this year. Well, KIRSTIE ALLEY would like you to know they're CRAP. --In an interview with BARBARA WALTERS that'll air on "20/20" tomorrow night, Kirstie says, quote, "I know John. With all my heart and soul, he's not gay. --I think it's some weird way, in Hollywood, if someone gets big enough and famous enough, and they're not out doing drugs and they're not womanizing, what do you say about them? I think people think that's the supreme insult, 'He's gay.'" --In fact, Kirstie calls John, quote, "The greatest love of my life." --She says they fell in love while making the 1989 movie "Look Who's Talking" . . . and, quote, "it took everything that I had, inside, outside, to not run off and marry John and be with John for the rest of my life." --Kirstie was still married to PARKER STEVENSON at the time, but John was single. He didn't marry KELLY PRESTON until 1991.
14-year-old "Modern Family" actress ARIEL WINTER has been removed from her home amid allegations that her mother has been physically and emotionally abusing her. Last month, Ariel's older sister filed a petition for custody. Twenty years ago, SHE had been removed from her mother's custody due to similar allegations. Ariel's mother denies these claims. A hearing is scheduled for the 20th of this month.
A lot of people watching ABC's Election Night coverage came to the conclusion that DIANE SAWYER was HAMMERED. --But a source says Diane wasn't drunk . . . she was TIRED . . . quote, "To be very clear, she absolutely wasn't drunk, but she was extremely tired from an exhausting work schedule. --Diane often jokes that she doesn't need a lot of sleep and is always extremely professional. She worked all weekend preparing for the election and covering the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy."
Some strangely observant "X Factor" fans have noticed that BRITNEY SPEARS has been wearing some sort of device in her ear during the live shows . . . and some people think it could be a sign that the producers are FEEDING HER LINES. --But reps for Britney and the show say it's just a "noise reduction" device . . . that deadens the sound of the crowd behind her. A so-called "insider" says, quote, "[She] seems to have sensitivity to loud sounds." --That special "sensitivity" might explain why none of the other judges have an earpiece, but it doesn't account for why she only has it in ONE EAR.
11/7/12 LiLo Back to Jail?

Wednesday, November 7, 2012
Like any good cougar, CAMERON DIAZ can sense a wounded animal a mile away . . . and she knows that's the perfect time to POUNCE. --"Us Weekly" says Cameron sat next to ROBERT PATTINSON at some Hollywood event back on October 27th, and she went in for the kill. But in this case, her attack was rebuffed. --A source says, quote, "She was pretty obvious. Cam was seated next to Rob at dinner. She was touching his arm, doing her big Cameron laugh at everything he said and trying really hard. He was polite, but not having it." --Rob is 26 . . . Cameron is 40.
RadarOnline claims LIAM HEMSWORTH was caught, quote, "getting very cozy" with a girl who was NOT his fiancée, MILEY CYRUS. Supposedly, this happened a couple weeks ago at a party in Hollywood. --An "eyewitness" says, quote, "He was in the corner of the back tent with a blonde and they were getting very cozy . . . it definitely looked like they were behaving in a way that was more than just friendly." --This person says Miley wasn't there . . . and Liam, quote, "wasn't being secretive about his one-on-one with the mystery blonde."
Sources are saying that LINDSAY LOHAN will be charged with LYING TO POLICE after a car accident over the summer. --As you may recall, Lindsay totaled a Porsche when she ran it into the back of a dump truck in June. When police first interviewed her, she told them her ASSISTANT was driving . . . which wasn't true. --Supposed law enforcement sources say the Santa Monica City Attorney will file a misdemeanor charge against Lindsay as early as this week. --If that happens, prosecutors in L.A. are expected to press the judge to throw Lindsay in JAIL on the probation violation . . . and they want her to spend up to a YEAR behind bars. --As we've learned from some of Lindsay's previous exploits, she doesn't have to be convicted of lying to cops to be hit with a probation violation. She just has to be CHARGED.
11/6/12 Kirstie Alley & Patrick Swayze?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emiy Poyet Webb
Tuesday, November 6, 2012
KRISTEN BELL and DAX SHEPARD are having a baby. Kristen is due in late spring. A friend says, quote, "They're so excited . . . they're both ecstatic. They can't wait to become parents. --Kristen had a little bit of morning sickness early on but she just started shooting the second season of 'House of Lies' and is feeling great now." --Kristen and Dax have been together since 2007, and engaged for about three years.
A website called GossipCop.com says that CHANNING TATUM will be named "People" magazine's SEXIEST MAN ALIVE for 2012. --"People" is refusing to confirm or deny this. They make the official announcement next Wednesday. --Channing has been in the Sexiest Man Alive issue before, but never as top dog.
KIRSTIE ALLEY says she and PATRICK SWAYZE fell in love back in the '80s, when they filmed the movie "North and South" together. They never did anything physical, but Kirstie thinks this kind of "emotional affair" is even worse. --She says, quote, "I think what we did was worse. Because I think when you fall in love with someone when you're married, you jeopardize your own marriage and their marriage. It's doubly bad." --Kirstie was still married to PARKER STEVENSON at the time, and Patrick was married to LISA NIEMI, who is now his widow. And while Kirstie remains friends with Lisa, she says she's not sure if Lisa knows about this.
SHARON OSBOURNE had both of her breasts removed after she found out she has the so-called "breast cancer gene". She says, quote, "I didn't want to live the rest of my life with that shadow hanging over me." She's not getting new breasts either. She's done with plastic surgery altogether. In fact, even before all of this happened, one of her implants burst and leaked into the wall of her stomach.
Just so you know . . . KIM KARDASHIAN hit the gym in Miami yesterday . . . and parked her Rolls in a HANDICAP SPOT. And to make matters worse, she was taking up TWO spots.
11/5/12 Cee Lo Sexual Assault Case
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, November 5, 2012
We have a little more information about the sexual assault allegation against CEE LO. --An unidentified woman is claiming that Cee Lo brought her to a restaurant in L.A. in July, where he drugged her. The next thing she says she remembers is lying in a bed NAKED, with Cee Lo in the room. --Sources say the woman went to police almost immediately . . . and they had her call Cee Lo to talk about the incident while they listened in. --During that call, Cee Lo never specifically admitted to secretly spiking her drink. But he made several references to MDMA . . . which is ECSTASY . . . and said he thought it would help them "have an exciting time together." No charges have been filed yet. --Meanwhile . . . Cee Lo's people say the woman DIDN'T go to the cops right away. They claim she went to a LAWYER first . . . who went to Cee Lo looking for a payday. It was only after he shot her down that she filed a police report.
The absurdity of DONALD TRUMP'S $5 million offer to PRESIDENT OBAMA was not lost on Dallas Mavericks owner MARK CUBAN. So he made a counter offer. --Cuban will donate $1 million to the charity of Donald's choice . . . if Donald will SHAVE HIS HEAD.
Harper Beckham . . . the daughter of DAVID and VICTORIA BECKHAM . . . is only 15 months old. And yet the not-always-reliable British tabloids say she already has an $8,000 wardrobe. --That includes $285 dresses by Marc Jacobs and $136 Stella McCartney outfits.

The Talloires Declaration
The TALLOIRES DECLARATION is a statement of principles and practices for using higher education to promote sustainability. Over 350 universities throughout the world have signed the Declaration so far. UAA originally signed in 2003, and re-confirmed its commitment in 2005. See also University Leaders for a Sustainable Future.
The text is as follows:
We, the presidents, rectors, and vice chancellors of universities from all regions of the world are deeply concerned about the unprecedented scale and speed of environmental pollution and degradation, and the depletion of natural resources.
Local, regional, and global air and water pollution; accumulation and distribution of toxic wastes; destruction and depletion of forests, soil, and water; depletion of the ozone layer and emission of "green house" gases threaten the survival of humans and thousands of other living species, the integrity of the earth and its biodiversity, the security of nations, and the heritage of future generations. These environmental changes are caused by inequitable and unsustainable production and consumption patterns that aggravate poverty in many regions of the world.
We believe that urgent actions are needed to address these fundamental problems and reverse the trends. Stabilization of human population, adoption of environmentally sound industrial and agricultural technologies, reforestation, and ecological restoration are crucial elements in creating an equitable and sustainable future for all humankind in harmony with nature.
Universities have a major role in the education, research, policy formation, and information exchange necessary to make these goals possible. Thus, university leaders must initiate and support mobilization of internal and external resources so that their institutions respond to this urgent challenge.
We, therefore, agree to take the following actions:
1. Increase Awareness of Environmentally Sustainable Development

In all my 11 years of gig going to the Brixton Academy I did not know about this place until Friday night when I impromptually went to see the Hives with two friends. When told about the location of this place I was unsure given that the nearby Goose and Whetherspoons are dodgy as hell.
Although this is delight. Great choice of beers, fantastic old Irish guy behind the bar who did not approve of adding blackcurrant to my Guinness. Although it is friendly, cheap, near the the Academy without the crushing and crazy atmosphere pre and post gig. I will be back here for sure and when I return I hope they have added the name painted on the outside of the pub because if I get someone to meet me they will not know if it is the Canterbury Arms or not!
Looks nice, being an olde traditional kind of pub.
The best thing to drink though was Strongbow, which at 1.90 a half is rather more expensive than you'd expect in a down to earth, grimey local off the main drag.
It's a divey regular's sports pub. And I'm OK with that.
The service won't be great as it's a family run institution who like the people they know and give you a strange eye if you walk in and they aren't familiar with the likes of you. Still, the beer is cheap and plentiful and they've always got the game on (whatever the game might be.) I came here and watched a bit of the Olympics when it was happening and it was a very good spot to take a load off.
It's old and semi-falling down but that gives it it's charm. It's also got a private room in the back straight out of the 1970's, complete with disco ball, where they throw some events from time to time. For the pure hipster pleasure of checking out an event in a 1970s back room of a Brixton Sports Pub, I may have to come check this out someday.
Went there to meet with some other Neil Young fans. Its an Irish bar, for sure. Roomy and uncrowded on a Sunday afternoon. Rugby on the TV. Only had snacks this afternoon, not sure if that is the way it always is. Rumor is that it will be torn down later this year. Gentrification of Brixton?
A good 'proper' pub with a good selection of beers, including Bass !. A good place to watch the football and enjoy a nice pint of guinness!
Good proper drinking pub. Great for watching football with a good crowd and always lots of banter. Gets livelier in the evenings and even have the odd dj nights in the big room through the back.
