Jurassic Park 4 release date announced
The long-in-development Jurassic Park 4 will be with us soon, with a summer 2014 release date announced...
When Universal suggested that it wanted to have a fourth Jurassic Park movie in cinemas by 2014, there was always part of our brain that didn't quite believe it. After all, talks of Jurassic Park 4 have been swirling for well over a decade, with precious little to show for it all. And when some abandoned concept art emerged from the production last year, showing some downright bizarre mutant dinosaur-dog combinations, we were somewhat relieved that those ideas had fallen by the wayside.
Since then, we've learned that Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (of Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes fame) have been hard at work on the script, and the word is that the latest draft is complete. And here's the exciting bit: Universal has set Jurassic Park's release date for 13th June 2014 - in 3D, naturally.
This, of course, is good news. What's somewhat perplexing is that, with a year-and-a-bit until release and the film still in pre-production, the movie doesn't even have a director yet. Frank Marshall and Steven Spielberg are producing, but who'll actually shout through the megaphone hasn't been decided.
It's possible that Jurassic Park III's Joe Johnston could return to direct again. Or with Robopocalypse now delayed, maybe Spielberg will think about taking over instead. Whoever takes over, they'll no doubt be moving quickly to get this effects-heavy movie filmed and in post-production.

Depression Health Center
New Year's Blues
Does the end of the year get you down?
Ruminators and the New Year's Blues
If you find yourself assessing and reassessing the year, becoming more and more depressed, you may be a ruminator. Women are more likely than men to have this habit, Nolen-Hoeksema says.
In her research, Nolen-Hoeksema has focused on "ruminators." She describes ruminators as those who go over and over their problems, either in their own mind or by discussing them with others, but have no clear plan to solve the issues. She has found:
- Those who ruminate also tend to have negative coping styles, criticize themselves unduly and be pessimistic. Ruminating and depression often go hand-in-hand.
- Recognizing when to stop ruminating is crucial. "Everyone ruminates some," she says. The real difficulty arises, she says, when you realize all the thinking and rethinking about a problem or issue is not getting you anywhere or is making you feel worse -- and still, you can't quit. "People who get stuck in rumination think there is going to be insight by keeping on thinking about it," she says. "They may have more trouble [than others] shifting their attention [to other topics]."
- Depression can make ruminating worse. If you are already in a depressed mood and get started on a rumination cycle, you'll tend to focus on the worst aspects of a problem, she says. "Rumination and depression are a toxic mix." The rumination feeds the depression and vice versa. The process is so reciprocal, says Nolen-Hoeksema, that it's difficult to identify sometimes which started it all.

I was wondering, is there any possible way to get the lion OSX into my laptop? I already am dual booting with windows 7 and ubuntu 11.10. I've always wanted to try a mac, but never have; thinking now might be just as better than ever. I don't have a lot of knowledge on all this, thus, require expertise. Any idea how I can get Lion OSX and sort of, triple boot it? Thanks! (p.s i don't have a mac. my laptop is an HP, so originally coming with windows 7.)

With my 11-year-old mower showing signs of weakening I decided this year to get a new one. While surfing the internet this month (Dec.) I ran across this good buy (Special price) from Walmart. It was delivered on the 8th and so far is running good. After 2 weeks of use the battery went dead, which I know sometimes happens. My local Walmart store exchanged it for a new one. I have been looking for a 46" cut model and because of the winter have not cut any grass here on the NY/PA border. I do use a mower the year round however on my property with a tow cart, mostly hauling firewood. I expect this unit to be about average since most riding mowers anymore are made by MTD. I watched my local Lowes's store for a good buy since April and observed many mowers returned with defects. The most I saw returned all summer were the Toro with John Deere ranking second. The price of this unit sealed the deal for me, and since has been raised to $1200, still not bad.
I did my homework. I reviewed the mowers in the class and size we wanted. i compared options and specs. I chose this mower for the options, the price, and the earlier reviews. The only thing I was disappointed in was the shipping options. The system would not allow me to have the mower shipped to the nearest store and allow me to pick it up. Regardless of what I chose, the website always referred me back to shipping to my home. That cost me an additional $97. Regardless, the mower arrived well packed. After putting it together (simple), it started up and drove off the pallet. We have used the mower three times since. After leveling the anti-scalping wheels, the cut is perfect, the mower runs smoothly, and we are most pleased. Excellent quality. Great price. Plenty of power. And it looks great. We could not be more pleased (after getting over the extra $97).
I bought this lawnmower for $1200 at my local Walmart it feels like it has plenty of power and it looks great. You can adjust the seat by removing one bolt and i like the gas pedal it will take a little bit to get use to. I looked at many different Lawn Tractors at Sears,lowes and Tractor Supply. For the price i went with the Yardman over the Sears 46 inch 21hp mower it just looked and felt like a better quality mower and i wanted a deck wheels b/c my yard isnt even. I plan on keeping this mower a long time.
No site to store on this item so had to rely on CEVA Freight. Tracking was ok, but would have helped had I been given a local phone for CEVA to follow up since they failed to notify me of arrival at local terminal. This seems to be a great lawn tractor for the money, and mush less than comparable machines, and is well made. "Saftey interlock" system is a bit "overboard" as it appears one must disengage mower before moving slector into reverse. Have not yet used for mowing, but did choose this model as the deck has "guide wheels" which less expensive units don't have. Has some good options for accessories. MTD (Yardman) were very helpful answering questions. The biggest job was unpacking unit from shipping crate. Lots of "dunnage" to take to the dump. Only assembly was installing steering wheel, seat, and hooking up battery. Great spring loaded seat, and foot speed control - no gears to shift. Heavy machine, and started on first crank of engine. Steers easily, and is big and strong enough to tow cart or other tow behind needs. Much larger than I expected, and will meet all my needs for the foreseeable future. Also purchased Delux tractor cover from Walmart, and it fits completely this size machine. Also, freight delivery was easy as driver lowered unit to ground with gate lift for me exactly where I wished for unpacking. Tip - remove all sides of shipping crate, remove any plastic shipping cover from under wheels and unit can be driven off base of crate if palet is slightly off center so it tips as tractor moves forward allowing front wheels to oass over crate braces and onto ground.
My husband loves the tractor but the delivery people are not dependable! They said they were going to call the night before the scheduled delivery time and give us a 4 hour window...they never called. I tried to call that night before but they were closed and called first thing in the morning and good thing too as we were not home and were out camping and found it was going to be that morning. We had already driven back home and arrived at 9:00 to be sure and it arrived at 10:20am. So just plan on being home the entire day they say they will deliver cuz chances are you won't get a call like they say! Other than that the tractor itself works great and my husband now LOVES to mow the lawn :D LOL
This is the worst lawn mower ever! Had it a month and have had it worked on 2 times already. It won't start more than once. When it heats up it won't start back up. 2 flat tires, bad battery...the list goes on. Wish I would of never bought it!!!!
Zero problems in 3 years. One belt replaced. Love it and actually look forward to mowing, now.
Product received in non operating condition. Very poor factory support. My estimate to fix the problem is $25.00 part and 20 min. labor. But authorized service did not want to do it. I start thinking to return product to walmart. I will never buy any MTD product again.
Used on 2 acres of level to slight slope land. This mower is exactly the same as the Murray 46", only the color is different and they are now all made by MTD. Our last Murray 42" lasted 12 years before the transmission finally gave out - the engine still cranked right up! Very happy with power and ease of use. Does not mow in reverse, but that's a safety feature. Foot pedal is definitely a plus with relatively quiet engine. No headlight switch, so they stay on all the time. We compared lots of mowers and have no regrets on this one!
Once the dead, 13 month old battery (on a supposedly newmower) was addressed at the store, we took the mower home. Then I discovered that it in no way resembled the 2 previous Murray riders I've owned. Have to disengage blades to shift from forward to reverse, verus single pedal hydrostatic drives I was used to. IMO, this is a bad deal, but may not be a big deal to some users. Also, it has a governor that only allows it to barely outrun a snail. I give myself credit to decide how fast is safe to operate a lawn tractor, as opposed to some safety engineer at the factory. I expect it's longevity to be great as I've come to expect from Murray and Briggs-Straton when teamed up. We've only used the mower one time, so I may have to revise my 4 star rating by end of Summer.

From Our Editors
Though waiters are commonly revered for their courtesy, the servers at Dick's Last Resort skip the usual niceties in favor of sarcastic quips. When they aren't jotting down orders and engaging in verbal jousting matches, they happily dole out balloons and paper-made dunce hats to diners willing to play along. Live entertainment and sports games shown on big screen TVs sustain the restaurant's festive, freewheeling atmosphere. Over in the kitchen, chefs complement the front of the house's high spirits by incorporating different kinds of spirits into bar food classics, from salmon coated in a Jack Daniels glaze to buckets of shrimp simmered in beer. The culinary team crafts plenty of other alcohol-free goodies, including deep-fried gator and frog legs, BBQ pork ribs, and half-baked chicken cooked over a half-extinguished fire.

Child Abuse Issues
Child abuse comes in more forms than just hitting or physical violence. Emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect are also forms of child abuse and can cause just as much lasting trauma to a child's well being. Learn what you can do if your child is being severely mistreated.
We must all be actively involved whenever we detect or suspect child abuse. Some people think it's just about sexual abuse or a black eye. However, it can involve so much more. We must educate ourselves and others.
you are so right Lucy. not only should we be educated in this to protect the innocent children, but to be "actively involved".
its not an easy choice to upset one's daily routined life of work and bills, to involve one's self into reporting or doing something where child abuses occur.
no one wants or needs the stresses of such matters in their lives, that is for sure. but the child suffers greatly and for years even, if we don't get involved and we don't do something about it.
thank you Lucy for your comment and again...you are so right!

Hall's lawyers filed papers under seal last month accusing prosecutors of withholding evidence that could help the 27-year-old of Olathe.

We use TFS 2010 and have three branches: Dev -> QA -> Production.
In this particular example we decided to change the method parameter type and a name from "Guid reportGuid" to "int reportId". We did this change in the QA branch and checked it in. And now I'm trying to pull this change from QA to Dev branch. Usually it is done in the opposite direction but in this exceptional case we did what we did. Here is screenshot of merge tool. As you can see from the screenshot, the last check-in on the file in the Dev branch got change-set number 30282 and in the QA - 31002 (which is newer than 30282). As for me it's quite obvious that newer change should override an older one. But what TFS merge does is opposite. It applies old code from Dev branch (30282) over new code from QA branch (31002) and the result doesn't get the change.
Can somebody explain why TFS merge acts like that? Thanks in advance.

Former Bush adviser: Obama's cabinet is 'much less ideological than George Bush's cabinet.'
On ABC's This Week today, former Bush strategist Matthew Dowd marveled at President-elect Barack Obama's cabinet choices, saying that Obama will have "one of the most pragmatic, least ideological cabinets that we've seen in a long time." Dowd noted that this contrasted with how his former boss picked his staff when he first entered office:
DOWD: Much less ideological than George Bush's cabinet when he appointed it, when he first came into office. People that have disagreements. He has disagreements with his potential Secretary of State. He has disagreements with the person that's going to run his Pentagon. It's an amazing thing he has done that.
Watch it:
It shouldn't be surprising that Obama is more open to appointing "people that have disagreements" than Bush was. As Bob Woodward has noted, Bush has often shown "a lack of interest in open debate."

Silver admits mistakes in Game 1 fiasco, says Sterling saga 'over'
NBA commissioner Adam Silver admitted Sunday that the failure of the air conditioning in Game 1 of the Finals 'wasn't handled perfectly,' and that the Donald Sterling saga is 'over.'
More postseason coverage: Playoff schedule, results | Latest news, notes
SAN ANTONIO -- Apropos to his chaotic early days as NBA commissioner, Adam Silver had two key issues to confront in his first Finals media address.
One had to do with the air conditioning. The other, the freezing out of Donald Sterling.
Still dealing with the embarrassment of 90-degree conditions in Game 1 of the league's championship series on Thursday, Silver admitted the situation "wasn't handled perfectly."
"It's certainly not one of my prouder moments in my short tenure as commissioner," Silver said.
The air conditioning at the AT&T Center, which failed during Game 1, was in excellent working order for Game 2 Sunday night. The temperature in the arena was 70 degrees at tipoff. The A/C had been repaired in time for a concert in the arena Friday night and a WNBA game on Saturday night.
"There was never a point where we were considering either postponing or canceling the game," Silver said.
Silver did not address the media Thursday night about the sweltering conditions in Game 1. Aside from a brief media appearance Friday in San Antonio, this was the first time he went into details about what went wrong and how it was all communicated and handled.
Silver said a circuit breaker that controls the water pumps that feed the air conditioning system failed at 7:55 p.m. CT on Thursday -- minutes before tipoff. League officials were notified of the problem shortly after 8 and were told that engineers were trying to fix it.
Late in the second quarter, Silver said league officials were informed that the outage could not be repaired.
LeBron James could not finish the game due to muscle cramping, and Silver was asked his thoughts on the conditions affecting the outcome of the game -- and possibly, the series.
"I'm glad that this isn't single-elimination; it's best of seven," Silver said. "So it's too early to say how this Finals will be remembered."
Silver briefly touched on the state of the game and its finances, saying that in the wake of the 2011 lockout that fundamentally reset the competitive and cost structure of the sport, "The business of the NBA has never been better."
As for the issue that has consumed most of Silver's four-plus months as commissioner, the ouster of Sterling as owner of the Clippers, Silver said, "I think it's over. I think it's just a matter of time now."
Silver made clear that there are "a few steps left in the process" of removing Sterling as owner. Chief among them is the expected withdrawal of Sterling's lawsuit against the NBA and Silver himself, which hasn't happened yet.
Silver also said there are "a few additional things" that prospective owner Steve Ballmer needs to address with Donald and Shelly Sterling to finalize his purchase agreement.
After the requisite vetting of Ballmer by the league's advisory/finance committee -- which is largely procedural -- Silver said the full Board of Governors could vote to approve the sale at its July meeting in Las Vegas, or possibly earlier.
Silver said Donald Sterling's representatives initially said that the deposed owner would sign an agreement by which Shelly Sterling would protect the league from her husband's lawsuit.
"That hasn't happened yet," said Silver, adding that Shelly Sterling "has a high degree of confidence" that the issues will be resolved.
Silver said he spoke with Donald Sterling by phone shortly after the April 29 announcement that he was banning the owner for life and fining him $2.5 million. In that conversation, Silver said Sterling was "distraught ... but he was not remorseful at that time."
As for the punishment, Silver said, "There is absolutely no possibility that the lifetime ban will be rescinded or that the fine will be changed in any way."

The fertilizers used for plantation contain different elements including some natural radionuclides with their daughter decay products. The radiological impact of the use of fertilizers may be due to internal irradiation of the lung by the alpha particles, short lived radon-thoron progeny and the external irradiation of the body by gamma ray emitted from the radionuclides. The aim of this study was to estimate the enhanced alpha radioactivity in different parts of plants due to fertilizers and to measure the concentration of different elements present in the fertilizers. A control study was carried out on round gourd plants using different fertilizers. Fertilizers were added to the soil just before the plantation of seeds in the pots. For the measurement of alpha track densities in different parts of plants we used α-sensitive LR-115 type II plastic track detectors. The alpha-track density (T cm−2 days−1) was measured in leaves of plants at different interval of time. The variation in alpha track densities was also observed in root, stem leaf and grain parts of the plants. In case of the plants grown using some phosphate fertilizers the alpha radioactivity was found to be more compared with others. A positive correlation between alpha track densities and mass exhalation rates of radon from different fertilizers has been observed. The concentration of major elements (Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K) along with other elements present in fertilizer samples was measured by X-ray fluorescence analysis.

Sony and PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi made a joint statement Thursday saying Kutaragi would as chairman and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment as of the company's next shareholders meeting on June 19, and that he has "been considering this decision for some time."
"I am happy to graduate from Sony Computer Entertainment after introducing four platforms to the PlayStation family," Kutaragi said in a statement.
Kutaragi is one of the most celebrated figures in consumer electronics history, having shipped more than 200 million PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles, as well as the PlayStation Portable. Some analysts believe that had the PS3 been perceived as a hit or even a mild hit, there's a good chance he would be sticking around for the full 10-year lifecycle Sony gives its consoles.
But the PS3 is widely seen as a commercial flop, given its third-place position among next-generation video game consoles, trailing Microsoft's second-place Xbox 360 and the surprising leader, Nintendo's genre-busting Wii. The PS3 is even trailing sales of the venerable PlayStation 2 at this point.
The "PlayStation 3 has been a huge disappointment, No. 3 out of three in terms of console sales," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "It's been a huge embarrassment for the firm, and a huge hole that money has been pouring into."
|Console sales in March

Enderle said despite Kutaragi's massive success with previous iterations of the PlayStation, he probably couldn't survive the very public drubbing the PS3 has gotten in the market so far.
"When you go from superstar to walking disaster, there are few executives that can survive that," Enderle said. "You're only as good as your last financial report, and while he was given some leeway (with the PS3) there were obviously some huge mistakes."
Enderle said the biggest of those mistakes--the pricey inclusion of the Blu-ray player in the PS3--may well have been forced on Kutaragi by others at Sony.
The Blu-ray player added hundreds of dollars to the console's cost, making it, at a top price of $599, far more expensive than the $399 top-end Xbox and $250 Wii--and also making it much later to market than planned.
"It really is Blu-ray that killed him," Enderle said. "As a result, the product was too late and expensive, and that did a huge amount of damage to their sales volume."
At the same time, Nintendo's Wii has stolen the video game industry's thunder, leading the next-generation console wars with 259,000 sales in March, according to The NPD Group, largely on the strength of its innovative . By comparison, the Xbox 360 sold 199,000 units in March, and the PS3 trailed far behind, with only 130,000 sales.
Yet for some, it may even be surprising that Kutaragi survived the Sony restructuring that saw the ascendance of CEO Howard Stringer. Kutaragi in many ways represented the "old" Sony. He was big on vision--he saw the PlayStation line as a vehicle that would allow Sony to take over electronic entertainment in the home--but the projects sometimes didn't live up to the vision.
Ken Kutaragi unveils the look
for the PS3 controller in May 2006.
The PlayStation 2 was instrumental in accelerating demand for DVD players and discs. The player, however, didn't become an all-encompassing media server. The long-anticipated console vs. PC war never materialized in the way many expected. People bought PlayStations, but continued to go to their PCs when they wanted to get on the Internet or send e-mail.
The PlayStations have also proven expensive to produce, largely because of elaborate, customized silicon. In 1999, the processor and the graphics chip inside the PS2 took up 239 and 279 square millimeters in surface area, respectively, which made them relatively large (and hence relatively expensive) chips for their time. Sony often spoke of how the processor inside the PS2, called the Emotion Engine, would be used in other computers.
The constant chip improvements defined by Moore's Law allowed Sony to drop the cost of its components. By 2004, the two chips were condensed into one that took up only 87 square millimeters, almost one-sixth the size of the prior chip. But neither the Emotion Engine nor Sony's graphics chip threatened Intel's or anyone else's chip markets. Computer makers did not pick it up.

Hamlet Revenge Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line) according to the Norton edition
Quote #10
Hamlet comes back; what would you undertake
To show yourself indeed your father's son
More than in words?
To cut his throat i' th' church.
No place indeed should murder sanctuarize;
Revenge should have no bounds.
Now here's a revenge hero the groundlings can get behind: revenge is a higher ideal even than church—or so Claudius tells Laertes. But, come on, would you trust the guy?
Quote #11
Does it not, think thee, stand me now upon—
He that hath killed my king and whored my mother,
Popp'd in between th' election and my hopes,
Thrown out his angle for my proper life,
And with such cozenage—isv't not perfect
To quit him with this arm? And is 't not to be
To let this canker of our nature come
In further evil?
Translation: Claudius disrupted Hamlet's succession to the throne of Denmark by taking advantage of Hamlet's absence (he was away at school) and convincing the noble councilmen to elect him king. So, is Hamlet more concerned with getting the throne than avenging his father?
Quote #12
O, I die, Horatio!
The potent poison quite o'ercrows my spirit.
I cannot live to hear the news from England.
But I do prophesy the election lights
On Fortinbras; he has my dying voice.
So tell him, with the occurrents, more and less,
Which have solicited—the rest is silence.
Shakespeare's tragic heroes always die. That's just what you get for being a tragic hero. At the same time, the plays are always concerned with reestablishing a sense of political order. Hamlet's dying words and his "prophesy" that Fortinbras will win the next "election" anticipates the Norwegian prince's arrival in Denmark and likely succession to the throne. We're left with a sense that Denmark, as a collective whole, will be in capable hands. Happy ending?

How Much Do Tanning Bed Bulbs Cost?
A tanning bed lamp is a vital component to achieving that exact shade you want for your summer look. Many people in the modern times are so engrossed with beauty enhancement products that they try anything under the sun just to achieve that "perfection" in their physical appearance.
But because not all light-skinned races have the privilege to get natural tanning from the sun due to geographical location, many submit themselves to an artificial or cosmetic tanning solution. Americans call it a tanning bed, while the English people refer to it as a sunbed. No matter what they call it, such device releases 97% ultraviolet A (UVA) and more or less 3% ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation to produce a superficial tan.
For those that own a tanning bed, there is going to be one thing that goes bad over time and that is the bulb. The cost is going to depend the number of lamps and wattage.
How much does it cost?
- The price is going to solely depend on the brand, the number of lamps and the UVB rating. On average, be prepared to pay anywhere from $10 to as much as $45 per tanning bed bulb. The more lamps you need, the more you should be prepared to spend. Most companies do offer bulk discounts for those who purchase more than 6-12 at a time. The reason they do this is because most people tend to replace all the bulbs at once.
- Generally, a 20-30 minute bed that is around 100 watts is going to be less than $20 while a higher quality lamp can cost more. The quality of the lamp is determined by the amount of phosphors.
- Tanningbedbulbs.net offers four levels of replacement bulbs with their corresponding prices. Bronzing Bulbs at 6.5% UVB (17 – 20 minutes) can range anywhere from $125 for six to $400 for 32 while Hot Bulbs at 7.5% UVB (15 – 17 minutes) can range anywhere from $135 for six to $425 for 32. The more lamps you need, the higher the price is going to be. Hotter Bulbs at 8.5% UVB (13 – 15 minutes) range anywhere from $145 for six to $445 for 32. Lastly, the Hottest Bulbs at 9.5% UVB (10 minutes maximum) retail for $149 for six to as much as $499 for 32.
What is going to be included?
- Tanning beds are equipped with a number of fluorescent lamps that contain phosphor blends, which releases ultraviolet effects similar to what the sun does.
- High pressure tanning beds uses specialized quartz lamps, reflector systems and filters in order to produce ultraviolet A with some ultraviolet B radiation.
- If your skin tone ranges from fair to normal, the 6.5% UVB bronzing bulbs are suitable for you, where you can immerse for a maximum of 20 minutes. UVB ratings can range from 5% to as high as 9. The higher the UVB, the hotter the bulb will be and quicker the results may be. However, the higher UVB is not recommended.
- Typical lamps are going to have a life that ranges anywhere from 800 to 1,400 hours. The number of bulbs a bed uses ranges anywhere from 14 to as much as 36.
- Existing lamps will have sizes that include F59, F71, F72 and F73. The voltage can be anywhere from 80 to 160.
- Some companies may include bonuses with your purchase such as a pair of tanning goggles or a bottle of tanning bed cleaner.
What are the extra costs?
- If the bed has a facial lamp, this is another bulb that will have to be replaced.
- Some companies may not include shipping fee in their prices.
- Some states or local governments may charge sales tax on your ordered items.
Tip to know:
- To maximize the lamp life, make sure that the correct voltage is used in the bed and always make sure that the bed's cooling system is working properly. Excessive heat inside of the bed can cause the lamps to burn out quicker than expected.
- Know your bed brand. This is going to ensure you that you get the right bulb. To help you find out what bed you may have, TanningBeds4Less.com wrote up a detailed guide.
- Make sure that you do not use bulbs that are too powerful for your skin tone. Although this is artificial sun, it can still have the same effects. Using too hot of bulbs or staying in the bed too long can result in severe sun burn.
- Over exposure to UV radiation can have adverse effects on human health, causing skin cancer, cataracts, premature aging and suppresses the immune system.
How can I save money?
- Try to compare the costs between getting a tanning session at home and at a salon, and go wherever you can cut costs. Many people do not realize that maintaining a bed at home can be more than they think.
- Compare a handful of stores online. Look for promotional codes or wait for a certain promotion. To keep updated on promotions, consider following them on social media networks or signing up on an email list.
- If you own a tanning salon, you should be eligible for quite a discount through most suppliers.

A Cambodian court jailed a 71-year-old French paedophile for seven years on Tuesday after he was found guilty of paying young boys as little as $10 for sex.
Jacques Philippe Albertini, who has been held in custody since his arrest last year, was convicted of buying sex from 12-year-old boys in three separate cases between 2009 and last year, judge Seng Neang said at Phnom Penh Municipal Court.
The court also ordered the Frenchman, who denied the charges, to pay $1,250 to each of the three boys in compensation.
Child rights groups hailed the verdict and accused Albertini of being a serial offender who had previously evaded justice in France, Thailand and Cambodia.
Albertini was questioned three times in France in 1996, 2000 and 2004 regarding sexual acts with minors but was never charged, according to Cambodia-based Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE).
He was also twice arrested in Thailand, in 1998 and 2000, but the victims dropped the complaints. He was also twice arrested in Cambodia -- in 2004 and 2008 -- for allegedly abusing boys, but the cases were also dismissed due to a lack of evidence or after the victims dropped their complaints.
"The trail of nightmares Jacques Philippe Albertini has caused has ended today," Khoem Vando, of APLE, said in a statement.
"This is a great day for children in Cambodia and elsewhere and for justice in general," he said, adding the verdict sent "a strong signal in favour of vulnerable and abused children".
Cambodia launched an anti-paedophilia drive in 2003 in an effort to end its reputation as a haven for child sex offenders.
Dozens of foreigners have since been jailed for child sex crimes or deported to face trial in their home countries.

All Rise...
Judge David Johnson prefers The Ball-peen Hammer of the Gods.
The Charge
A king is born of blood.
Opening Statement
Apparently, it's awfully hard to get Viking movies right. Since the high watermark for the genre was reached with The 13th Warrior (you know I'm right), there has been a succession of axe swings and misses. I enter with weighty expectations for the Northman offering known as Hammer of the Gods.
Facts of the Case
Steinar (Charlie Bewley, The Twilight Saga: New Moon) is a young warrior with a well-groomed face, hitting Saxon land and looking to do some serious damage. After slaughtering a few Anglos, he tracks down his ailing father (James Cosmo, Braveheart). The King implores Steinar to find his brother (Clive Standen, BBC's Camelot), long estranged and exiled to who knows where. The quest has an explicit purpose: Put Steinar to the ultimate test and reveal his worth as heir to the Viking throne.
The Evidence
I had been keeping an eye on this production for some time, ever since the first promotional images popped up on Magnet Releasing's Facebook page. "Hmmm…what could this be?" I briefly thought about asking myself, before realizing that would be stupid. Still, my interest was piqued. I'm a total sucker for the Viking vs. Saxon slice of history and my ears perk like a collie in a bathtub full of ground chuck when something from that era comes down the creative pike.
With and upside-down smile I arrive with bummer news: Hammer of the Gods stinks.
There are a lot of problems, but first and foremost are the characters. There is no one here worth pulling for. Even when you judge it on the "Antihero" curve, you're dealing with a group of douchenozzles, led by the main character. Steinar is short and vicious and wants to be King, but here's how we're introduced to the film's protagonist: he and his crew show up on Saxon land and butcher a group of farmers. Awesome. Later he walks away from a burning church as people scream die within (this immediately follows the mandatory dumping on the Christian faith). You're a winner, pal! By the time he reaches his destination (in a sequence reminiscent of Apocalypse Now), I had enough of this guy.
Perhaps if he was able to participate in semi-entertaining action scenes, I'd be more forgiving of his character flaws. But I can't even get that with this lump of a movie. The swordplay choreography is flailing and uninspiring, with zero weight placed behind the set-ups. Steinar and his pals just hack away at cannon fodder. Not only did I not care about anyone involved in the melees, I was actively rooting against the warriors I was supposed to be emotionally invested in. Actually, wait…in that first fight, when a group hapless Saxons get wiped out, there were lighting bolts in the background, so there you go, awesome lightning bolts in the background!
Finally, there's the small fact that the Vikings were the oppressing bad guys during this period of history! These clowns were raping, pillaging, and invading, and the Saxons—the direct precursors to our culture—were doing their best to repel them. So tell me again why I need to pull for this little twerp? If you want to draw me in, you better come up with a story more complex than "find the crazy brother and waste a third of the film lounging in a cave."
This being a Magnolia release, the Blu-ray is reliably stellar. The budget's obviously not high on this film, but the 2.40:1/1080p transfer produces a gritty, rich landscape. Everyone's muddy and bloody (and well-toothed, natch) and the down-and-dirty feel pops in HD. The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio pumps out the clangs and stabs and fairly corny techno soundtrack with style. Extras: interviews, a lengthy making-of featurette, an AXS TV promo, and a look at the visual effects.
Closing Statement
The search continues. Hammer of the Gods is a tedious, pointless endeavor.
The Verdict
Cleave its skull.

Persimmon Cookies With Cream Cheese Icing
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 10 mins
This is a family favorite. The recipe comes from"Old Fashion Presimmon Recipes" by Bear Wallow Books from Nashville, IN. I have been making these cookies for years and my grown children complain that now they only get them at Christmas. The prep time does not include getting the pulp ready. I am only guessing at prep time.

- 1⁄2 cup butter or 1⁄2 cup margarine
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups persimmon pulp
- 2 cups flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon clove
- 1 cup nuts (pecans)
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 1⁄2 cup margarine or 1⁄2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 lb powdered sugar (3 1/4 cup)
- Combine sugar and butter.
- Beat in eggs and pulp,
- then flour,
- finally other ingredients in order given.

Most Helpful
No stars for me on this one after my first attempt. We really tried to make it work, but I think the proportion of flour to wet ingredients is off, with not enough flour for the ingredients. I checked other, similar recipes and attempted to add enough flour to make it hold together but doing this created a doughy and unappetizing cookie. I think it has potential to be a fantastic cookie, but was sorry it didn't work out for us!
This is a great recipe,I used it twice already.The second time I made these I added chopped dates(1/2 cup and 1/2 cup golden rasins)I also used 2 1/4 cup powdered sugar and added 1 teaspoon of orange extract in the icing,it was a little bit thicker and the orange gave it an extra burst of flavor.Thanks for the recipe.

Players' decision not sitting well with Jazz fans
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — The 'Bout Time Pub & Grub, located 'bout a minute walk from EnergySolutions Arena, has an illuminated Utah Jazz jersey hanging on its wall.
The sporty décor also includes a Jazz street sign and team pennant, among other paraphernalia.
NBA fans hang out there, too.
But the new sports bar at The Gateway is missing something that would spice up the place.
There are zero Utah Jazz games to be found on its 21 TV sets.
Because of what happened in the NBA on Monday, it's unknown when Utah's favorite basketball team will return to the air and when pro players will get back on the court.
The playing court, that is.
Team representatives from the National Basketball Players Association turned down the owners' latest collective bargaining agreement proposal and voted unanimously Monday to disband the union.
In effect, the players' "disclaimer of interest" moved deal-making discussions from the bargaining table to a to-be-determined courtroom.
With that move, lawyers become the key players and the already-delayed NBA season now dangles on the precipice of cancellation.
"There will ultimately be a new collective bargaining agreement," NBA commissioner David Stern said. "But the 2011-12 season is now in jeopardy."
According to union president and former Jazz guard Derek Fisher, "This is the best decision for the players."
If you ask Jazz fans — and we did, in person and online — wannabe spectators left out by the lockout don't believe it was the best decision for them or the game they love.
"They're shooting themselves in the foot," said Todd Hudson, a casual NBA fan visiting Utah for business. "It turns me off."
"I am disgusted about this whole thing," Jazz fan Jordan Marshall tweeted in response to a Deseret News query.
"My reaction?" wrote Jazz fan/blogger AllThatAmar. "(This) complicated situation was successfully guided by personal agendas to crash upon the rocks of failure island."
"I'm ticked!" Casey Colyar added.
"The fans are getting the raw end of the deal," a fan dubbed "JazzHype" tweeted. "WE are the ones paying for basketball, and that's all we want. Basketball."
And that merely scratches the surface of sourness.
Giddy about a bunch of Jazz rallies a year ago, fans now feel down and let down.
"Greed is the only winner in this debacle," Jazz fan Ryan Sullivan wrote. "Everyone else loses. Players, owners, fans, economies, everyone."
While many fans are riled and fed up, disinterested describes others.
"What's an NBA?" Christopher Kamrani sarcastically joked.
Garrett Gregson is a self-proclaimed "huge basketball fan." But now he makes this claim: "Not sure I will ever have the same passion for the NBA."
Kevin Schafer echoed that sentiment: "If we lose the whole season, it'll be quite a few years before I consider purchasing a ticket to an NBA game again."
Same goes for Brett Preston, a six-year season-ticket holder who is canceling his order: "Not going to waste my money anymore."
Kurt Adison voiced his frustrations that neither the owners nor players are talking about the plight of the fans and arena employees whose jobs are affected.
"There's a huge disconnect," he wrote.

Jan. 6, 2011 -- Science has some new validation for all the women who have enviously eyed their slumbering husbands as they crawled out of bed in the middle of the night to tend to crying babies, sick elders, or even just to let the family pet outside.
A new study shows that women are more likely than men to give up sleep to take care of others, making gender roles a powerful reason -- beyond medical problems like depression or sleep apnea -- that women don't get enough sleep.
"If people have problems sleeping, physicians feel they find the problem and treat it with the right drug, technology, or surgery," says David Maume, PhD, director of the Kuntz Center for the Study of Work and Family at the University of Cincinnati, who was not involved in the study.
"But when you look at sleep as situated within our varied wake-time responsibilities, gender inequality in those daytime obligations produces gender differences in sleep. In this sense, sleep is the latest frontier in which we see gender differences in daily lives, suggesting that we are not as equal within family lives as we'd like to think," Maume says.
Researchers at the University of Michigan studied time diaries kept by more than 20,000 working parents through the American Time Use Survey, which is conducted by the U.S. Census.
They found that women are about two-and-a-half times more likely than men to take the night shift for caregiving.
What's more, women are typically up longer in the middle of the night than men, an average of 44 minutes compared to 30 minutes.
Perhaps most surprisingly, that sleep gap persisted even when the woman was the sole breadwinner in a couple. About 28% of women who were financially supporting their families by themselves reported getting up at night to care for others, compared to about 4% of men in the same role.
Experts say this apparent sleep disparity between the sexes could have powerful consequences for a woman's health, her quality of life, and even her career aspirations.
