Can anyone attach some pics of their injuries. I wish I had taken a few before and after.
Anje - I think protein is a very good idea if your body says so. I've had quite a lot of meat cravings while in plaster, although interestingly now (presumably) that after 7 weeks the main healing process has finished I'm feeling much less carnivorous.
A good steak is the answer to many a problem, anyway, I find.
DavidG1 - sorry about the 1970's rocker reference, mate! I thought you said somewhere you were middle aged?
One thing I forgot, when you get in the pool, make sure you can get out.
Those pool steps can be awkward to use
I had the same problem when I had a bath with the cast on. I thought everything would be ok if I rested the cast on the taps to keep it clear of the water. However, from this position there was no escape when the time came to get out. Eventually I had to let the water out while I was still (trapped) in the bath and use a towel to protect the cast from the dregs. That was the only bath I took while in a cast, but I celebrated by taking one as soon as the thing was off.
Hey all, I ruptured my achillies tendon in Feb. of 2007 and am scheduled for surgery on Sept. 4, 2007. I am 56 years old and am not real active but I do walk a lot. This thing has just about driven me crazy and I am scared to death of the surgery. I work on the second floor and am having to wear a brace up to my knee to keep me stable. I cannot beleive how unstable you are after this kind of an injury. I have to take the steps one at a time and cannot come down them hardly at all without feeling scared I am going to fall. I find myself weaving when I try to stand still with both feet on the floor. I went to the emergency room the day after I ruptured and the PA saw me in the waiting room and sent me on my merry way telling me that I have sprained my ankle. I knew it was much more because I could not stand on my toes and I was weak when I stood. Please help guide me through this surgery and assure me I am not the only one that was scared. Am I just being silly??
Be prepared in 2 1/2 weeks to be replastered, your consultant may assess it and say another plaster for so many weeks.
Took a pic. but cannot reduce photo enough to post. Not very interesting just a leg in plaster to knee in black and blue stripes, (Inter Milan) colours.
Hi Nancy
That seems a long time to wait for surgery. Is it a full or partial rupture? If partial I would of thought it would be healing on it's own by now, but there are many variants on this injury.
What country do you live in.
I was terrified too - I freely admit that. You aren't the only one. It was my first time in a hospital (for any length of time), first time under general etc. Petrified. But you do it because you have too and you will get through it as well. The day comes and goes very quickly....and then you have to deal with the aftermath which, sadly, is perhaps tougher than the op. The op is a routine one for the surgeons, that they do day in, day out.
Don't worry.
A support network, partner, family etc is very helpful and comforting. See my seperate thread 'Misdiagnosis' on this forum - similar type story to you. Anje is right - 7 months is a long time between diagnosis and op. Is this a typo?
But you'll get through it and before you know it, you'll be doing physio and on the road to recovery....so stay positive.
If I'd known plasters came in football colours I'd have been very happy. Man U red perhaps? Was Inter Milan a purposely chosen cast colour???
Hi Nancy B, welcome. Re the surgery thing, you don't have to have a general anaesthetic, you can opt to stay conscious throughout the procedure. That's what I did, and they made absolutely sure i would feel no pain. It was actually a very pleasant morning! I am not a surgeon but it seems to be a pretty standard thing they do, doesn't involve much trauma. I was given a prescription for lots of paracetamol in case of pain but actually when they took the drip away after about a day after the op there was no onset of pain anyway. much worse is the inconvenience - but if your injury happened in February you're already well used to all that!

FCFCG welcomes pollinator plan
The Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens (FCFCG) has welcomed today's launch of a Welsh Government action plan to boost Wales' ailing bee population by encouraging more green spaces, including community growing projects and allotments.
The Draft Action Plans for Pollinators for Wales Consultation is an attempt to protect threatened insect pollinators such as honey and bumble bees, hoverflies and butterflies. Pollinator numbers, particularly bees have been on the decline for many years.

Atheism and antihumanism as intellectual-historical objects
I begin this post by posing straightaway the questions that will guide my argument. In what way can atheism and antihumanism be posed and understood in intellectual history? In what sense do they constitute objects of study? How does one go about weaving and articulating for them an adequate intellectual-historical approach that may facilitate an understanding of texts, concepts, and systems of thought? I want to thank Martin Kavka, Sam Moyn, Judith Surkis, and Gil Anidjar for taking the time to read and address my book with the very encouraging care that each of them has taken. In what follows, I want to take into account a number of issues that they have raised, not so much to respond as to elaborate, in relation to their stances, some of the positions I have adopted in the book and in my introduction to this discussion. I thus frame this post as an attempt to tend first and foremost to methodological questions and critiques that have been raised directly or indirectly.
Read the rest of Atheism and antihumanism as intellectual-historical objects.

Dead Island sequel hitting consoles and PC
E3 2012: Deep Silver bringing Techland-developed Dead Island Riptide to consoles and PC; more information on project expected this summer.
The Dead Island zombie uprising hasn't been quelled yet. Publisher Deep Silver today announced Dead Island Riptide. The project is currently in development at Techland and is slated to arrive on consoles and PC.
The company gave no further details on Dead Island Riptide, but Deep Silver said it is planning an "extensive reveal" of the project for sometime this summer. Last month, Deep Silver denied a report suggesting Spec Ops: The Line developer Yager was at work on a Dead Island sequel.
The original Dead Island was developed by Techland and shipped in September 2011 to generally positive review scores. The game shipped 3 million copies and welcomed various add-on packs. Speculation about a follow-up sparked in November, when Techland filed a trademark application for Dead World.

Using Google News to drive traffic to your site
Google News, Google's news indexing engine, has received a lot of criticism and praise alike largely because it's a powerful way of driving traffic to news websites.
Rupert Murdoch recently accused Google of stealing content from the News Corp. news outlets and even went as far as threatening to pull all News Corp.'s content from all Google indexes. Although protecting their revenue stream is important for big corporations like News Corp., it is a big mistake to think that the free availability of news content is damaging. Internet news directories like Google News offer student news publications an opportunity to tap new markets and reach new audiences.
I believe that exposure is very valuable for any news organization, and that as a news organization you have to be wherever your audience is. As college newspapers, we are usually serving a relatively small geographic area with our news organizations. But does this mean that only people in this particular area would be interested in what we report? Of course not! Now that almost any college newspaper has an online presence, it is time to start reaching out beyond these geographically confined areas and reach new audiences that we otherwise could access.

Eating healthy is super important, definatly go for it. It will improve your bod, but more importantly, it is super important to eat well for health so you can live a long, happy life. Eat healthy foods without pigging out or deprivation, keep excersizing, after weight is lost, just maintain. Here are the tips I did to lose the weight, and now maintain it: 1. Never skip meals! It won't make you skinnier; it will just slow your metabolism down. Instead, eat small and healthy meals about every 3 hours to keep your metabolism happy. Notice I didn't say to eat more; just to eat more often. Such as, instead of having a banana,milk and cereol for breakfast, skip the banana in the morning and have it as a before lunch snack. 2. Eat whole grains often and limit refined ones. 3. For maintanence, most people need about 2,00 calories a day. never go below 1,200. To find out your exact caloric needs, you should ask a doctor and get a rough estimate using a BMR calculator. (Just look it up. I can't gaurentee how accurate it will be.) 4. Eat lots of fruits and veggies! Have at least 5 servings a day. (3 veggies, 2 fruits/3 fruits, 2 veggies, ect.) Oh, and do not drench them in fatty sauces. 5. Get 3 servings (8 oz.) low/non fat calcium a day! (Skim milk, low fat yogurt, ect.) 6. Drink lots of water. Limit sugary and caloric drinks. Studies have shown that people who switch sugary drinks for water can lose 10 pounds a year! (If you cut your calories 100 a day, you will lose 10 pounds in a year. math comes in handy!) 7. Cut way down on unhealthy foods. Keep it a treat, and don't binge on them when you get to enjoy them! 8. Eat until you aren't hungry, not until you are full. And before you eat, evaluate if you are really hungry or just bored or sad. Distract yourself if you're not really hungry. 9. Watch portion sizes! At resturants, have half of the order, and at home, be sure you are eating the portion size. Such as, many cereol portion sizes are 1/2 to 1 cup and yet many people pour 3 cups in the bowl! 10. Practice the 90/10 eating way; eat well 90 percent of the time, and allow yourself to slip a bit 10% of the time. So, if you eat well all day but indulge in a small brownie that isn't super bad for you, you'll be fine. 11. Eat lots of fiber. It keeps you fuller longer and helps digestion. Experts recommend 25g a day. 12. Never take any diet pills. They can kill/hurt you and won't work. 13. Eat lean meats for proetein most of the time. If you are vegetarian, find other ways to get vital protein. (Organic peanut butter is an example, btw) 14. Eat lots of healthy fats (poly and mono) limit saturated and avoid trans. You can't avoid saturated because it is in tons of healthy foods, but it must be limited to under 20 grams a day. Avoid trans as much as possible. Be sure to check labels: even if a product says it has no trans fats, if "hydrogonated oils" are in the ingrediants list, it has trans fats. 15. Don't go on the "no carb" diet craze. You lose water weight, not fat, and these diets can kill/harm you. This goes for any fad diet. Plus, once you quit it, all the weight will come back, and then some. Ouch. Just eat well and workout! 16. Eat "real" foods whenever possible. Foods made with ingrediants you can't pronounce are a bad sign.

Hey girl! I know exactly how u feel! Just a couple weeks ago one of my friends started acting snobby and said that my drawings looked weird. Seems to me that u need to tell her how u feel and that u wish she wouldnt do that. If she starts getting mad at u for that, then shes not a good friend. Make sure to try and stay friends if she'll stop critizing u and talking about these other groups of girls. But if she chooses them over u, then to me, shes not a good friend. I had to stop being friends with my friend when she was acting like that. so just try and talk to her and if it doesnt work than i dont think its worth it. -Wish ya the best!

Former Connecticut Girl Scouts board member exposed himself to coworkers, Avon customers, police say
MILFORD— Robert White, a former member of the board of directors for Girl Scouts of Connecticut, was arrested this week amidst allegations he exposed himself to two female employees while at work, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
White is also a former Republican Board of Education majority leader and former PTA Council president.
Four women told police about alleged incidents and two of them are pressing charges. White has been charged with two counts of disorderly conduct according to a police press release.
He is the general manager of Crown Properties, according to the arrest affidavit. White declined to comment about his arrest Friday afternoon.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit White would allegedly have employees come to empty rooms to pick up Avon products he sold them. He would then allegedly pull down his pants and expose himself, the arrest warrant states.
The incidents allegedly occurred between 2007 and 2012 with the most recent occurring in July.
White was elected to the school board in November 2009 and was not reelected to a second term.
His tenure on the school board included the buyout of former Superintendent of Schools Harvey B. Polansky's contract, who was placed on administrative leave with pay for more than six months amidst allegations he sexually harassed two female principals by hugging and kissing them.
Polansky ended up pleading to disorderly conduct, which doesn't include any sexual misconduct.
White was elected to the Girls Scouts of Connecticut Board of Directors in October 2009 but is no longer a member. Continued...
In the affidavit one worker said she bought Avon products from White and he allegedly pulled his pants down exposing himself while wearing pink see-through underwear while she was looking through the bag of products in a conference room, according to the affidavit.
White gave his version of the alleged incidents to police detectives. He said he and one of the women would often joke around about their clothing choices, according to the affidavit. He told police the woman wanted to see his underwear, the affidavit states.
He allegedly checked twice with her before showing her his underwear in an empty room, according to the affidavit.
One alleged case involved an employee who worked for White. She told police about an alleged incident where she walked into White's office to ask a question about a tenant's lease.
White was wearing female clothing, the employee claimed in the affidavit, and she noticed he wasn't wearing underwear after he turned his chair around, allegedly exposing himself, according to her account given in the affidavit.
The woman told police she was concerned about losing her job, according to documents. She only spoke to him about his behavior after another employee had asked her to speak on her behalf about it, according to the affidavit.
Things became tense in the office after the confrontation, the woman told police, the arrest warrant states. The woman quit her job in January 2009 after White told her the corporate office was cutting her hours to part-time.
Another employee, who picked up an Avon order, described the alleged incident to police. In the affidavit she said as she began to walk out of the office, White said "Wait, I have something to show you" and he then allegedly pulled down his pants, exposing himself while wearing pink see-through underwear.

Airlines in Los Angeles
Los Angeles airlines are growing by the day, thanks not only to the increase demand for air travel, but also to the constantly growing list of boutique airlines that fly to and from specific regions of the country. Loyalty to these airlines can pay rich dividends to frequent flyers who like to stay local: they accrue miles more quickly and don't have to deal with the hassle of national airlines that impose heftier fees and regulations on flyers.

text: One of the largest proposed budget increases heading into the 2007 legislative session is a 38 percent jump from two years ago in the Department of Correction's budget. The state is asking taxpayers to spend an additional $97 million to keep convicted felons in treatment, out of trouble or behind bars. Part of the reason for the proposed increase is a $27 million shortfall in the 2007 fiscal year. There are 609 more offenders in the corrections system than was budgeted for, said corrections spokesman Bob Anez. These days, rather than longterm imprisonment, the agency is emphasizing treatment and rehabilitation, a philosophy supported by Gov. Brian Schweitzer and aimed at preventing crimes while cutting down on costs. Just over half of the Corrections Department's $349.8 million budget is slated for community- based corrections such as adding pre-release beds, probation and parole officers and chemical dependency counselors. But start-up costs are pricey. While the agency's primary concern this session is securing adequate funding to runs its programs, a number of lawmakers have introduced public safety legislation to fund the increasingly popular drug courts, strengthen sex offender laws and broaden the definition of child pornography. In 2005, lawmakers increased the state correction's budget by 16 percent, adding an additional $35 million to the pot. That, however, was less than the agency requested and now state officials are back asking for the rest. A large portion of the governor's proposed correction's budget approximately 46 percent still directs money towards secure facilities, but the state is slowly moving away from routinely locking up offenders. Of the total $160.1 million proposed for the Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge and Montana Women's Prison in Billings, $21.5 million is slated for expanding the number of prison beds and $2.4 million to cover overtime costs. Statistics show it costs approximately $70 a day to house prison inmates and only $3.75 per day for offenders on probation. Of the total $349.8 million proposed corrections budget, $106.6 million or one out of every three dollars is directed toward community-based correctional programs.

One of my favorite plays on the Sunday NFL odds pits the Washington Redskins against the Dallas Cowboys. These two are going to be meeting at 4:25 p.m. ET at FedEx Field, and I'm going to show you which side to make your NFL pick on for this great game.
Dallas Cowboys (8-7, 6-9 ATS) +3.5
Washington Redskins (9-6, 10-5 ATS) -3.5
Over/Under 49.5
As much as I hate to make a teaser play in a game like this one, I still think that it is the right play to make when push comes to shove. This is a traditional rivalry game that has featured the underdog covering five games in a row, and each of the five meetings have been decided by a touchdown or less. That means that Dallas is going to be off to a great start in this game at +10.5 in a teaser in a game that really feels like it should be lined at a pick 'em and not at minus the value of home field advantage.
The first meeting of these two teams featured 69 total points, but I think that was a bit of an anomaly. Prior to that game, the seven games before that in this series averaged just 31.2 points per game, and that's in spite of the fact that one of those games reached 66 total points in Big D in 2010. The games here in DC have all been relatively low scoring over the years as well, averaging just 33.1 points per game allowed in the last 11 years.
In the end, I just don't know that QB Robert Griffin III is ready for this stage. I know what I'm getting out of QB Tony Romo. I'm getting a guy that is going to make this a close game and is liable to really screw the pooch in the end. As long as RB DeMarco Murray keeps getting the ball and Head Coach Jason Garrett doesn't get too impatient, this should be a game that Dallas holds Washington in the 20s and keeps this one 'under' the teaser number as well.

The Heat provided plenty of entertainment to NBA fans during last night's 92-84 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
The subject of the Heat has provided plenty of entertaining dialogue from the Orlando Magic all season long.
It began before LeBron James even made his decision. The day before the draft, outspoken Magic coach Stan Van Gundy didn't mince words about James' hour-long special.
"It's gotten ridiculous I think. It's really I mean it's almost like a parody of itself this whole situation now. Come on, an hour long? It takes 15 seconds to say I've decided to stay in Cleveland but we've got another 59 minutes and 45 seconds to, what? Promote LeBron James? As if we don't do that enough."
–Van Gundy
In the same interview, Van Gundy took a shot at Chris Bosh, who seemed insistent on playing with Wade. When asked about Bosh's decision, Van Gundy responded with:
"Well, he's been following him around for two weeks like his lapdog. So that doesn't really surprise me."
–Van Gundy
Then, when James decided to take his talents to South Beach, the floodgates opened. Opinions were flowing all over the NBA, as the superfriends teaming up in South Florida was one of the biggest offseason stories in years.
Magic GM Otis Smith's words stood out among the masses with a simple, yet direct, message.
"I was surprised that he went [to Miami]. I thought he was, I guess, more of a competitor." Continue reading Orlando Magic haven't been shy about Miami Heat »

YACHTSMAN Tobias Fahey aims to complete a solo, non-stop world circumnavigation faster than any Australian.
Mr Fahey, 25, of Dodges Ferry, will try to break the present record, held by former Tasmanian Australian of the year Ken Gourlay, who completed the epic journey in 179 days 21 hours 37 minutes and 58.5 seconds in 2007.
To achieve this he must complete the ratified distance of 21,600 nautical miles as set by the World Sailing Speed Racing Council.
Mr Fahey will leave in October and his route will take him southeast from Hobart, beneath New Zealand and across the Pacific before tackling the treacherous waters of South America's Cape Horn.
"It's scary but exciting," he said. "It will be treacherous, there's a strong chance of icebergs and rescue will be pretty much impossible for the first half of the leg.
"It is daunting but that's what has lured me to the task. I will only have myself to get me through and if I'm successful it will be so satisfying."
He will then track to a turning point in the Atlantic, north of the equator, before heading south to the Cape of Good Hope, the southern most point of Africa. The final leg of the journey will take him direct east through the Southern Ocean back to Tasmania and a finishing point on the Derwent River.
Mr Fahey is a builder and works full-time to acquire Seaquest and her much needed equipment but is looking for a sponsor to finalise preparations and equip him properly.

City looks at new areas for possible annexation
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
The Jefferson City Council is getting started with new annexation efforts, just three months after the failure of the city's last annexation attempt.
At a meeting of the Annexation Committee on Monday, which is made up of the entire City Council, city staff presented annexation areas near the future extensions of Wildwood Drive and Mission Drive. This area was separated into 16 sub-areas and presented to council members.
Ultimately, City Administrator Nathan Nickolaus said, staff would propose doing two separate annexation areas made up of several sub-areas. The first proposal includes what's called Rademan Lane sub-area, and Frog Hollow 1 and 2 sub-areas. The city estimates that proposal would affect 192 people and consists of 196 acres.

I believe iin voluntary annexation. The last shot at annexation had a lady from the Meadows by the Club subdivision talking at several city council meetings in favor of annexation. Why has she not asked for voluntary annexation?

Any good pear flavored teas?
Some reason I want to try a pear flavored tea. I am wondering if anyone makes a good loose leaf pear tea? Ideally an oolong or white tea.
I think our Ramona's Spiced Pear Bai Mu Dan is awesome: http://www.52teas.com/2010/02/24/ramonas-spiced-pear-bai-mu-dan/
Do you do samples? I am not sure about the spices in it but would love to try a cup before buying quantity.
Sorry, I'm afraid we do not. You can read some reviews here: http://steepster.com/teas/52teas/10147-ramonas-spiced-pear-bai-mu-dan
I have not tried it, but if you like organic teas who's proceeds go to good causes, check this out http://www.artoftea.com/catalog/green-pear-specialty-p-252.html
Adagio's white pear can be good if you get the steeping parameters right, but it's tricky. I wish I could find a white caramel spice pear tea.
Den's Iced pear tea is very good. It isn't a white tea, but the green tea flavor is not overpowering, it simply combines with the pear very well (the pear is definitely the dominant flavor).
I really like pear, so eventually I'd like to try some others as well. Currently on my shopping list is Caramilized Pear (by Art of Tea) – that has really good reviews here on Steepster, but I've never tried it myself:
It works to hot steep it; if you have some you might as well try it. I liked the way it tasted, but thought it better cold (personally).
Then maybe steep it hot then chill it? I'll try both ways and report back:)
Sounds good! I haven't tried steeping it hot then chilling it, sounds like a good idea. (Like I said, I've steeped it and drunk it hot, or steeped/drunk cold).
I've heard awesome things about Art of Tea's Caramelized Pear:
This one is really good! I'm not a huge pear fan, but this one taste just like a carmaelized pear…doesn't taste fake at all and is true to it's name. ;-)
I like Leland's pear caramel. http://steepster.com/teas/leland-tea-co/4892-pear-caramel
In fact next time I go to San Francisco I need to get some more.
The Art of Tea Carmelized Pear was good. Although I haven't tried it, I bet the green tea version would be better than the rooibos version. LeafSpa has an apple-pear green tea that was nice iced but the pear flavor was not as strong as the Art of Tea's version.

Sunday kicks off a new sermon series called "Anger Management".
No, Charlie Sheen isn't going to be a guest preacher.
However, the series will look at some amazing stories of anger and violent tempers from the Bible and challenge us, as people who follow Jesus, to find ways to manage our own rage.
In the course of an election year, our emotions are front and center. I often check out of such political conversations because I feel my own blood pressure rise when I encounter folks unwilling to dialogue around serious and important realities that our communities face. Granted, we are bound to disagree. Still, we need to figure out a way to disagree in love or at least with some respect.
Even more revealing though, our tempers and physical health may even make us easier prey for racist thinking and actions. Check out this new blood pressure drug which has purportedly affects the part of us that can control negative subconscious behavior. Maybe managing our anger can help us become more compassionate people, too?
This sermon series will carry us through the month of August, so I hope to see you drop in to join in this opportunity to grow.

CD/LP/Track Review
Eje Thelin: Eje Thelin 1966 with Barney Wilen (2003)
Jazz was on the downswing in Europe in 1966, when this amiable recording was made, and trombonist Eje Thelin, whose quintet was named Sweden's best Jazz group only three years earlier, had been forced to disband and go on the road looking for steady work. While gigging in Paris he hooked up with tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen, a kindred soul, and the two of them decided they should work together again when the opportunity arose. That happened in '66 when Thelin decided to re-form his group as a pianoless quartet and asked Wilen to join him on the front line, with drummer Rune Carlsson and nineteen-year-old bassist Palle Danielsson comprising the rhythm section.
Shortly after Wilen arrived in Stockholm, he and Thelin recorded a studio date for Swedish Radio on which a core group of Thelin, Wilen, Carlsson, bassist Erik Lundborg and pianist Lars Sjösten was fleshed out by five trumpets, three trombones, bass clarinet and flute (tracks 1-4). While in hindsight the music seems largely straightforward and ingenuous, it was perhaps cutting-edge for its time, especially in Europe. Thelin shows he's on a par with Sweden's other world-class trombonist, Åke Persson, while his compatriot is already leaning toward such soon-to-be pacesetters as Americans Sam Rivers and Von Freeman, Dutchman Willem Breuker, Norwegian Jan Garbarek and Brit Tony Coe, among others.
The quartet (tracks 5-9), recorded in concert, opens with its version of Thelin's "Doj-Doj," which is also performed by the larger group on track 3. Thelin is able to stretch more with the quartet, as is Wilen, and they deliver a series of analytical improvisations that remain surprisingly fresh so many years onward. The litmus test is Johnny Burke / Jimmy Van Heusen's "It Could Happen to You," as that's the only standard on the program, and Thelin / Wilen are equal to the task, blowing freely around the changes without once losing their balance. Danielsson and Carlsson provide able support, as they do on every number. Besides those already named, they include Thelin's "To a Moment of Truth" and "Fast," plus Sjösten's lively arrangement of the traditional Swedish theme "Ack Varmeland du Sköna."
An interesting historical – and musical – glance at a couple of top-of-the-line jazz musicians who left us far too soon (Thelin died in 1990, Wilen in 1996).

"The Government have clearly sent the message to Shell, 'you can do whatever you want'. Fortunately due to protest, the refinery remains unconnected to the gas field. If, as Shell planned, gas had been flowing by now, we would potentially all be dealing with a gas leak and explosion."
Double a year ago as drivers clobbered
SOARING oil and gas prices have sent profits surging to £49million a day at SHELL.
The energy giant made a whopping £4.5billion over the three months to October — DOUBLE the same period a year ago.
Yesterday's figures come as drivers are being forced off the road by soaring petrol prices as the cost of oil hits record highs.
AA chiefs claim a quarter of motorists are cutting back.
AA president Edmund King said motorists "will not be pleased" to see oil giants making a killing.
But he insisted many now blame the Chancellor more than oil companies for the huge prices they pay at the pump.
Tax makes up 65 per cent of the average forecourt bill — the highest proportion of anywhere in Europe.
Mr King told Sun City: "We ask motorists who they blame for high fuel prices and they put the Government first.
"Duty is set to go up by another 3p to 4p per litre on January 1, but it's already having a big effect on the economy. It's vital the Government freezes duty or even cuts it. Record prices are driving motorists off the road."
Shell once again insisted it hardly made a bean at the petrol pumps.
Three-quarters of the haul came from selling the crude oil pumped out of the ground around the world.
Chief exec Peter Voser also insisted the firm's stonking results were good for Brits.
He said: "Our profits pay for Shell's substantial investments in new energy projects.
"They ensure low-cost, reliable, energy supplies for our customers and create value for our shareholders."
Experts said Shell was benefiting from its huge investment in new exploration projects in recent years.
One of the biggest boosts has come from controversial Tar Sands projects in Canada — where crude lies just below the Earth's surface.
Shell is also cashing in on the boom in gas with sales of liquefied natural gas up 12 per cent following the opening of a huge plant in Qatar.
Just hours after Shell unveiled its results, American rival EXXON went even better — posting quarterly profits of an incredible £6.4billion.
Separately the European Commission sparked a row with the UK by calling for tougher safety laws in the North Sea. Brussels said the risk of a spill remained "unacceptably high".

On tonight's episode of the CBS drama NCIS entitled 'Shabbat Shalom,' while the NCIS team investigates the link to a dead journalist and a Navy petty officer, Ziva is taken aback by the sudden emotional visit by her father, who she hasn't seen in more than two years. While Ziva questions the purpose of her father's visit as the Director of Mossad, her father insists he is in the U.S. strictly to see his daughter for Shabbat dinner.
The episode airs tonight, Tuesday, Jan. 8 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Michael Nouri reprises his role as Ziva's father, Mossad Director Eli David. Get a sneak peek below!
NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations.
NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a former Marine gunnery sergeant whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, leads this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs, a man of few words, only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, an ex-homicide detective whose instincts in the field are unparalleled and whose quick wit and humorous take on life make him a team favorite; former Mossad agent turned NCIS Special Agent Ziva David, perhaps the most dangerous member of the team, and NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field. Assisting the team is the youthful and energetic forensic specialist Abby Sciuto, a talented scientist whose sharp mind matches her Goth style and eclectic tastes, medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, who knows it all because he's seen it all – and he's not afraid to let you know it – and Ducky's protégé, Assistant Medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer. Overseeing the operations is NCIS Director Leon Vance, an intelligent, highly trained agent who can always be counted on to shake up the status quo. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.

Another 'screwy' year
For the second straight spring, farmers in much of northwestern North Dakota are experiencing what Ross, N.D.-based grain elevator manager John Woodbury calls "a screwy year."By Jonathan Knutson , April 30, 2012
Markets retreat on favorable conditions
Wheat closed last week ending April 19 mixed, with the winter wheat contracts ending with small losses to small gains while Minneapolis lost ground. For the week ending April 19, May Minneapolis was off 15 cents, May Kansas City was 5.5 cents lower and May Chicago was 1 cent higher.By Ray Grabanski , April 23, 2012
Staggered end
FARGO, N.D. — Sugar beet processing season is coming to a close in the Red River Valley, even as the planting season is revving up.By Mikkel Pates , April 23, 2012
USDA report surprises
Wheat struggled last week, even with a friendly U.S. Department of Agriculture report. For the week ending April 12, May Minneapolis dropped 8.5 cents, May Chicago was 75 cents higher, and May Kansas City was off 9.5 cents.By Ray Grabanski , April 16, 2012
Seed shortages
Corn planting is swinging into high gear across the region, but some area farmers may not get enough seed to plant all the corn — or at least the type of corn — that they want.By Jonathan Knutson , April 16, 2012
Planting progresses
All three wheat exchanges struggled last week but most of the issues were in the winter wheat exchanges while Minneapolis experienced modest gains.By Ray Grabanski , April 09, 2012
Barley bounces back
Sheyenne, N.D., farmer Mark Seastrand expects to plant roughly twice as many barley acres this spring as a year ago. A lot of other North Dakota farmers will be planting more barley, too, if the U.S. Department of Agriculture is right.By Jonathan Knutson , April 09, 2012
USDA surprises market
Wheat traded lower in most of the session this week, except for March 30. Early selling was tied to improving conditions for the Southern Plains winter wheat crop and from position squaring ahead of the March 30 U.S. Department of Agriculture report while strength March 30 was because of a friendlier-than-expected acreage report from USDA.By Ray Grabanski , April 02, 2012
Sugar beets-to-ethanol
FARGO, N.D — With planting less than a month away, a company hoping to contract with farmers in 2012 to convert sugar beets into ethanol at a defunct corn-based ethanol plant in Grafton, N.D., has only about 400 acres of its 12,000-acre goal, officials say.By Mikkel Pates , April 02, 2012

All hail, King Corn
Key USDA report expects farmers to plant a lot more corn acres and less wheat acres.By Jonathan Knutson , March 30, 2012
Markets retreat
The wheat markets had losses of 15 to 26 cents last week. The winter wheat markets had the larger losses due to beneficial rains in much of the winter wheat belt and losses in the corn market. Minneapolis wheat had lighter losses due to strong export sales and lingering concerns about dry soil conditions in the Northern Plains. Markets will likely spend this week positioning ahead of the March 30 reports.By Ray Grabanski , March 26, 2012
Exports drive market
The corn market was up 30 cents last week in old crop, while new crop contracts gained about 10 cents. Talk of increased exports to China provided direction to the market early last week, while the possibility of an early planting season due to warm weather in the Corn Belt was talked about through the second half of last week.By Ray Grabanski , March 19, 2012
Durum decline
Keith Deutsch knows that part of his job is promoting his crop. He knows he needs to be realistic, too. "It just doesn't look too good for this spring," says Deutsch. a Plaza, N.D., farmer and president of the U.S. Durum Growers Association. "It may sound strange for someone from the association to be saying that." But Deutsch and other area durum boosters say they have to acknowledge the obvious.By Jonathan Knutson , March 12, 2012
Firm markets start new month
The corn market gained 8 to 10 cents in both old and new crop contracts last week. Corn found support from smaller South American production and tighter U.S. old crop ending stock estimates. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will release its next monthly crop production and supply/demand report on March 9.By Ray Grabanski , March 05, 2012

Josh Hoffman knows he needs to lose weight to fend off Justin Hodges's quest to be Broncos fullback
- The Courier-Mail
- November 20, 2012
With his fullback spot under siege from superstar teammate Justin Hodges, Brisbane Broncos custodian Josh Hoffman wants to shed weight and channel childhood friend Ben Barba to lock down his position.
Hoffman admits he struggled to overcome his honeymoon break in Hawaii late last year.
He played at 95 or 96kg for most of the season, seven kilos heavier than he was two seasons ago.
While some NRL players thrive on extra weight and strength, for Hoffman it limited his ability to beat a tackler as he felt tied to the turf.
In the final rounds of last season, Broncos coach Anthony Griffin dropped the Kiwi Test player for arriving late to a training session then shifted him to the wing as Corey Norman played fullback before Hoffman switched back in their only finals game.
The 24-year-old had a sensational game for New Zealand in last month's Test, reminding all how fearless he can be.
Hoffman said he wanted to start next season at 93kg, which he hoped would allow him to step past defenders with nimble feet like Canterbury livewire Barba, his halves partners in the Mackay juniors.
"I was a bit fat and sluggish last year," Hoffman said. "Ben (Barba) is now 93 kilos and that's the weight I want to be, that's the weight I play my best at.
"I want to be able to push up all into the line all the time and I need to be quicker on my feet, like Ben, to do that.
"In 2011 I was 93 kilos and in 2010 I was 89. Last pre-season, I came back from my honeymoon at 99 kilos and the trainers weren't happy with me but you only get to have one honeymoon.
"I just got heavy. I need to cut down and get lighter but strong as well so I don't get thrown around."
Hoffman said he was surprised to pick up The Sunday Mail two weeks ago and read that State of Origin centre Justin Hodges wanted to be the Broncos fullback.
"He kept it quiet actually," Hoffman said. "It came out in the paper and I thought 'wow, I need to go hard'.
"He wants to rekindle the fire I guess. It is a good challenge for myself.
"Last year, not doing so well made me want to do a lot better in pre-season this year.
"It's not just Hodgo, there's other guys too like Joe Bond and Jordan Kahu who can play fullback."
Hoffman, whose mother is indigenous while his father is from New Zealand, is desperate to oust Barba from the Indigenous All Stars team this year.
"Playing in that All Stars game would be a dream but it's tough when Benny (Barba) is there and he has so many fans," Hoffman said.
"Hopefully Broncos fans get behind me."

there's magic in this kid...not sure if Brisbane/Griffiths can bring it out - may need a Hasler or a Bellamy style
Bowl 'em over for Barba says November 20, 2012 at 9:55 AM
What you need Hoffman to get through space like Barba, is a player like Pritchard to bowl defenders out of the way to make room for you. When they cracked down on the fat turd doing it, Barba went MIA.
No Chance says November 20, 2012 at 11:32 AM
Hodges is zero chance of fullback. Too many dropsies and handling errors to be put at fullback.
Singo of Angelina's House says November 20, 2012 at 12:03 PM
Only one honeymoon...come on mate you haven't lived until you'd had at least 3 goes at it.
m of bris of brisbane says November 20, 2012 at 12:04 PM
if hodges is the answer to the full back problem at the broncos why did they wait till he turned 30+ to act.the problem with the broncos is taking back old players they disposed of or left.if griffin thinks an injury prone player like hodges will answer their problems,then sorry to say,but his time as a coach is looking very short to say the least.
Luke Pollock of Winwill says November 20, 2012 at 12:17 PM
THis will be the broncos side for next year 1 Hodges 2 Hoffman 3 Reed 4 Yow Yeh 5 Copley 6 Norman 7 Prince 8 Hannant 9 Mccullough 10 Mcquire 11 THaiday 12 Glenn 13 Parker 14 Hunt/Wallace 15 Stagg 16 Hala 17 Gillet that will be a great side an then in 2014 THurston could come to the club and hopefully wallace will be sacked in the near future as he is hopeless.
timbo of Brisbane says November 20, 2012 at 12:49 PM
@ Luke Pollock - Yow Yeh won't play before Round 10 next year. Hoffman will be FB, as much as I'd like to see Hodgo there. What I don't understand is how he could be eligible for the Indigenous side. The bloke has declared himself a kiwi = All Star not Indigi.
Lambo says November 20, 2012 at 1:07 PM
Hodges is too injury prone for fullback. The more ball he sees the less games he plays. Hoffman has years in him and it will only wreck his confidence for the future. Broncos should stick with him after all they keep that McCullough kid at hooker any other team would have dropped him years ago.
Rabbits of Redfern says November 20, 2012 at 1:20 PM
Hodges has dodgy hammies and you want him to run 10km a game from Fullback? The guy is a weapon on his side of the field at Centre, your problem is you need someone else to throw the ball to..
Ad of Bundaberg says November 20, 2012 at 2:05 PMDid you want to make a comment? Use our form below
If the Broncos lose Hodges they'll have no strikepower at all, and history says Hodges is no ironman.
jon jon of brisbane says November 20, 2012 at 3:02 PM
josh hoffman is a great winger. good under the high ball, fast strong and a great dummy half runner. He doesn't have the ball handling or vision to be a number 1. the side next year will be 1.Norman 2.Hoffman 3.Reed 4.Hodges 5.Copley(Yow Yeh) when fit 6.Wallace 7.Prince 8.Hannant 9.Mccullough 10.Macquire 11.Thaiday 12.Glenn 13.Parker 14.Hunt 15.Gillett 16.Stagg 17.Anderson.. I also would like to see thaiday shed some weight or move into the front row. Without lockyer inside him he looks lethargic...
Dwayne Pipe of gold coast says November 20, 2012 at 4:37 PM
I'm usually the first to say that Hoffman needs something to give him that edge he's been lacking. However I took note of his play for the Kiwis last game in T'ville and noticed a huge improvement. A bit of interchange at fullback wih Hodges could be the answer.
Just sayin of NRL says November 21, 2012 at 6:45 AM
Hey Bowl em over - comment 2 . I'm a Dogs supporter mate but that's absolute gold! Someone is always finding ways to bend the rules, Bellamy and Hasler seem to be the best at it and you must admit they are the most successful, the NRL will always be playing catchup with closing loopholes. Back to the article, Hoffman should not have too many problems keeping the injury prone supermouth Hodges out of the fullback spot. Even if he gets a go after the donkeys lose 5 or 6 in a row he will no doubt do a hammy with all the extra running and be out for an extended period once more. Scott Prince will make a difference but they will still be restricted by Wallace the human Handbrake.
broncos of fan says November 22, 2012 at 6:20 PM
hodges would be a brillant full back if his legs stood up to the work load better than hoffman who was caught out many time this year.But in saying that hodges covers a lot of the defence errors made bye the young back of the broncos this is a hard call but i would give hodges a go and put norman in the centres just a thought.

The head of an Ohio-based political action committee isn't concerned by recent polls that show President Obama leading Mitt Romney by an average of over four points.
In a recent RealClearPolitics compilation of Ohio presidential preference polls, President Obama has increased his lead over Mitt Romney to 4.2 points in the crucial battleground state. The race had been much tighter before the Democratic National Convention.
Phil Burress is chairman of the Cincinnati-based Citizens for Community Values Action political action committee. He does not take much stock in these polls.
"Let's remember that [in 1980] Reagan was losing badly at this time when he ran, as well, and ended up winning big," he says. "We're getting ready to run ads in rural Ohio. It's about rural Ohio, and I doubt very much that they canvass rural Ohio they way they should."
Burress says Ohio swing voters need to be educated.
"[It will have an effect] once they understand the difference in the two candidates: that Romney is pro-life, Obama is pro-abortion," he tells OneNewsNow. "Many don't know that Romney is for marriage between one man and one woman and Obama believes in same-sex marriage."
So Burress believes once voters learn about the differences between the two candidates, Election Day results will prove to be far different from what polls are saying right now.

GSI Commerce Inc., which operates four fulfillment centers in Jefferson and Bullitt counties, is exploring the possible expansion of its Louisville presence — a project that could create 153 jobs.
King of Prussia, Pa.-based GSI Commerce is a distributor of retail merchandise and a subsidiary of online auctioneer eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY).
GSI is considering the addition of as much as 270,000 square feet to its 1.25 million-square-foot footprint in the area.
The expansion appears to be headed for GSI's operation at Jefferson Riverport International in southwest Jefferson County.
GSI operates two distribution centers with a total of more than 550,000 square feet at Riverport and has another warehouse on National Turnpike.
It also maintains a large fulfillment facility in Shepherdsville's Cedar Grove Business Park.
San Jose, Calif.-based eBay announced plans for the potential expansion effort during a Thursday meeting of the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority in Frankfort.
The GSI expansion project would be an investment of $45 million in building materials and capital equipment, according to the eBay filing with the state.
The filing said the company is looking to purchase and equip two facilities.
The new jobs created by the project would have an annual payroll of $5.2 million. EBay, through its GSI affiliate, currently employs about 540 people in the region, according to data from Greater Louisville Inc., the metro chamber of commerce. That number rises dramatically during the holiday season.
Neither eBay nor GSI officials could be reached for comment.

Hey girl ... Mr. Gosling isn't the only Ryan with his own stable of Internet memes any more.
Whether it's a texting secretary of state, a condescending candy magnate or an unimpressed gymnast, the Web can't help itself when it comes to turning current events into running online jokes. So, why should politics be any different?
Enter Paul Ryan.
The Wisconsin congressman was well known among political junkies, but not so much to the general public before presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney tapped him Saturday as his running mate.
Within hours, the Web greeted the conservative budget hawk with a host of humor, some of it new and some given new life after lying dormant during the long, hot Washington summer.
Here are some of our favorites so far:
'Hey Girl, It's Paul Ryan'
These women were meme-ing Ryan before meme-ing Ryan was cool.
Back in May, the self-described "Women who think fiscal sanity and conservative values are sexier than anything else" started a Tumblr feed featuring photos of Ryan with captions merging his politics with a smooth, "hey baby" vibe. The blog borrowed from another Web meme: outings inspired by actor Ryan Gosling that include "F--- Yeah Ryan Gosling" and "Feminist Ryan Gosling."
Some Ryan examples:

Hey all and thank you in advance for checking out this post. So who should I start for week 6? I have Peyton Hillis and Calvin Johnson on my squad and debating whether or not to play them considering their current injuries. If they play, do I risk having them out for the game if they are pulled after the first quarter or something? I also have Steelers D against the Browns, and they might just shut out the Browns and thus HIllis. Who should I substitute for them? So my lineup is as follows:
QB: Shaub
RB: Hillis, Ladanian Tomlinson, Ronnie Brown
WR: Calvin Jonson, Boldin
TE: Moeki
D/ST: Steelers
K: Nick Folk
BN: Shonne Green, Ryan Torrain, Davone Bess, Steve Smith (car), Vicanthe Shiancoe, Chad Henne
Assuming Steve Smith is healthy, do I start him or Bess given Carolina's terrible QB situation? Do I not play Hillis and put in Torrain or maybe even Shonne Green? Moeki or Shiancoe? Shiancoe was great the first two games of the season but now Farve has Moss as his go to guy and Shiancoe is coming off of an injury. Moeki isn't lighting it up but is clearly a favorite target for Matt Cassel. There are a lot of possibilities for my lineup this week, so thank you very much for your input! I will post a reply for any questions you have if you post to mine. Thanks again.

Great tour. It was my first time on a scooter so my guide let me practice in an empty area before we went out. He stayed close and always kept checking to see if I were ok. He took me to all the great spots and let me take plenty of pictures.

Very professional staff. The tour was fun and a great way to see the entire the city. Wish I could do it again.

In this training, participants will learn more about special education law and advocacy strategies. The sessions will be available by videoconference at the University of Tennessee at Martin from Vanderbilt University. At the end of the training, each participant will shadow an advocate at a special education meeting and, following graduation from the program, each will be linked with a family of a child with a disability. Each volunteer advocate is expected to work with at least four families at the discretion of the Arc and Support and Training for Exceptional Parents. This comprehensive six-week training is scheduled for Sept. 11 and 18, Oct. 2, 16 and 30 and Nov. 13. Each training session will last six hours, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The training will include a binder of materials including passages from the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, No Child Left Behind and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Additionally, the participants will be given copies of each training session's PowerPoints, along with other relevant materials. The training will be at the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center and will also be offered by videoconference to other sites across the state. There is a $30 charge to cover the cost of materials. Anyone interested in participating may contact Meghan Burke at firstname.lastname@example.com; call (615) 585-1420; or visit online at http://kc.vanderbilt.edu/kennedy/vap/.
