Really red neck
Par Carol the animal lover
de Warwick,Quebec
Loved it at first,then I slept with it,in the middle of the night I woke up because my neck was really sore so I took it off,when I woke up the next morning and looked in the mirror it looked like I tried to hang myself,yes really hanged myself.So I didn't wear it for a couple months,till yesterday, then the claps stayed in my hand,the tiny tiny little claps just broke.Now I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble getting it fixed.Very upset with the vendor,or should I say myself.
Very Pretty Piece
Par Mary
de Fonthill, Ontario
I purchased this necklace in the 20" length in gold plate. I thought it would be a little heavier, but its light weight is fine. It will be a perfect stand-alone piece and it will be a lovely layering necklace. Love the shine and sparkle.
Huge nothing
Par Elena
de ontario
For the life of me, I cannot understand why thiscollection is so expensive.In my opinion, it's not worth even the sale price.
Quite brassy and yellow
Par Ed
de Winnipeg
Like the design, very sparkly but the gold plating is quite brassy and yellow, does not look like gold and it does not look great with other yellow gold pieces. I have achcin in white gold, similar design and it looks fantastic, I am sure the one with rodium platting is much better looking chain.

SCRATCY and BRASSY
Par The Shopper
de Toronto, ON
These looked very pretty on air and I ordered two in the gold plate. Unfortunately, I have only worn them once due to the fact they are sharp in some places and scratchy. I don't understand why they look so brassy, they don't seem to match my 18kt jewellery. I didn't actually wear them until it was too late to return but I purchased on sale. I believe that some of these items just are not polished properly to take the sharpness off. I have given up ordering their gold plate earrings because the rabbit ear closures on most of their earrings ends up sticking or bending. I wish they would just use OMEGA backs and get the plating & polishing better and then I would try them again.
Luce necklace
Par Michelle(Shelley)
de Devon,Alberta
I bought this in the 20 I find it sharp and it scratches my neck so it's a good gift for my sister in law ! It does sparkle and shine but I just can't stand the way it feels on my neck...

Par CG
de Mississauga (Ont)
I purchased the 18" and 20" gold plated ones and I could not be more pleased. They sparkle and shine - how perfect! The price is amazing too!If anyone wants a more affordable option this is for sure the one to get!!
very lovely
What a good deal - I got the 18" and 20" - I love both. They look good alone or together and really sparkle! I am very pleased and totally recommend this necklace to anyone. With the price of gold this is such a good alternative - you have the great gold look without the price!
Absolutely Splendido
Par Dizzy Dawn
de TORONTO
I bought the 20" SS chain and fell in love with it, so I bought 3 18" chains for my little nieces and they love them. The chains sparkles in any type of lighting - I always wear white gold jewellery and now there is rodhium plating, one cannot see the difference between white gold and the rhodium plating.

Very Nice
Par victorian rose
de Kamloops, BC
I loved this necklace from the first time I saw it. It sparkles beautifully on the neckline, and I get complements on it everytime I wear it. My only complaint is that it's a bit scratchy. The little pieces of it seem to have a bit of a sharp edge. You definitely have to take if off to lay down or it really doesn't feel very nice.Aside from the scratchiness it's a beautiful piece of jewellery. Well worth the price.

Genoa fined and Sculli banned over fans protest |
ROME (AP) -Genoa has been fined ?30,000 and former player Giuseppe Sculli was suspended for a month after last season's match against Siena was halted by fans.
Genoa players stripped off their shirts in a gesture of apology to angry, flare-throwing fans as their protests forced a 45-minute suspension of the team's 4-1 loss to Siena on April 22.
The match only restarted following impassioned pleas to the fans by Sculli, who also negotiated with the leader of the ultras.
However, Sculli has been banned for a month by the federation's disciplinary commission after he was found to have lied to the prosecutors and to have known about the protest before the match.
Sculli currently plays for Lazio.

The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust
"Sybase has helped us develop an extremely innovative health care information system to achieve all our aims in a very efficient and cost-effective way."
Andrew Forrest
Head of the Electronic Health Records Program
Cornwall NHS IT Services
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust needed a solution that integrated information from its wide range of special services, including community medicine, care of the elderly, mental health, midwifery and district nursing. Using Sybase technology, it developed the Electronic Health Records system, improving patient service delivery and the quality of information available to clinicians. Business Advantage Key Benefits Sybase Technology Industry
Integrating Outdated Systems
For patients to have confidence in their health care providers, it is absolutely essential that a high standard of communication be maintained among all practitioners and agencies. Patient records therefore need to be as up-to-date and as accurate as possible, but this is particularly difficult to achieve when health services are spread over different geographical areas.
"With so many different information sources it was hard to maintain the accuracy and currency of patient records," said Andrew Forrest, head of the Electronic Health Records Program at Cornwall NHS IT Services. "Information was exchanged mainly by phone calls and letters rather than by being recorded in a systematic way. It became apparent that clinicians needed a more efficient means of exchanging this crucial data."
A project was launched to establish an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system that would require the integration of more then 15 different health care systems. These included many "green screen" legacy systems due for replacement in 2002. "This was an ambitious undertaking requiring considerable expertise, and so we were meticulous in our evaluation of solution providers," Forrest said.
They selected Sybase Professional Services and IMS Maxims, an Irish health care software specialist. Sybase was chosen for the flexibility of its product range. "Flexibility was essential," Forrest said. "The Health Service now needs to be accountable for the quality of its service provision. It needs to be able to adapt quickly and efficiently to changing requirements and its systems need to reflect this. We were confident that Sybase could deliver the appropriate integration of legacy systems in order to retain the existing infrastructure and reduce costs."
As well as providing the capability to integrate disparate legacy systems, the solution ensured that data was replicated so that up-to-date information was maintained across all platforms and made accessible to more users.
The Changing Face of UK Health Care
In the next few years, the system will consist of dozens of different modules combining both administrative and clinical information on patients for access by all of Cornwall's health care services.
"Sybase has provided the integration architecture to unlock all the data from all the different legacy systems so that we can build up a single picture of each patient," Forrest said.
This means that all administrative records, lab results such as blood tests, pathology and x-ray results, as well as all clinical information, will be easily accessible. It will provide a full history and timetable of every aspect of the patient's care and treatment. It will also be possible to store existing paper records as scanned images.
The new system delivers a holistic view of each patient, regardless of how many specialists are involved. A diabetic patient, for example, may have blood sugar tests and see a podiatrist and an eye specialist, as well as their own GP and other clinicians. If they have an operation, the surgeon might want just a few headline facts to check on their general state of health.
New modules will also be added for in-depth recording of clinical information in particular areas such as diabetes, urology, breast care and mental health. The data will be input by the clinicians themselves, a hands-on approach that will minimize the chance for error and reduce duplication of inputted data.
"We want to record the information once but enable it to be displayed in many different areas," Forrest said. "The modularity of the system lets us create specialist clinical views of the information with the right level of detail. It is a clear example of excellence in health care information systems."
Planning Patient Care
"Sybase has helped us develop an extremely innovative health care information system to achieve all our aims in a very efficient and cost-effective way," Forrest said.
The benefits of the EHR system are considerable. Enhanced access to more accurate and timely information results in a much higher standard of patient care. "Clinicians can see all the past data from the old database systems and enter new data within a single environment," he said. "This has significantly enhanced the decision-making process and allowed the medical teams to plan patient care much more effectively."
The Cornwall health community is delighted with its new EHR system. "Sybase Professional Services has been excellent; we have worked with some very bright people," Forrest said. "We have been kept informed at every stage of the project's progress and now we are seeing the vision come to life. With the Sybase solution in place, we now have a reliable starting point from which to develop further services."

Not Your Grandpa's T2
Cheryl Nashir, associate deputy airport director for San Francisco International Airport, relates that the goal with SFO's Terminal 2 (T2) overhaul was to "create an environment that's conducive to spending and customer relaxation." That required eliminating the boundaries between the passenger and the facilities — "merge all that space and create a living room environment," she says.
The $383 million refurbishment, spearheaded by Gensler, includes some 30,793 square feet of retail development, including 12 restaurants, 9 retail stores, and a gourmet marketplace with a wine bar and a spa. SFO management opted to manage individual leases internally rather than hand the responsibility over to a master concessionaire. "We prefer to do business locally to the greatest extent possible," says Nashir. In all there are some 16 leases in T2.
Among the newest shopping outlets is a Napa Farms gourmet marketplace, which features locally made products and brands, and the Mosaic Fine Art and Craft Gallery, the type of specialty store which Nashir says is an important part of a major concessions program today because such shops generate a higher percentage of revenue per square foot.
Terminal 2 is now SFO's home for American Airlines and Virgin America and its 14 gates are designed to handle up to 5.5 million passengers annually. In its first year it is estimated that T2 will accommodate some 3.2 million passengers.

CHICAGO -- Kansas farmers are preparing to plant winter wheat into the driest soil since 1991 after three seasons of drought causes Dust Bowl conditions in the biggest growing state and global reserves fall to a four-year low.
About 97 percent of fields in the state had too little moisture as of Aug. 19, U.S. Department of Agriculture data show. Kansas is having its hottest year ever, leaving all 105 counties as federal disaster areas. The worst U.S. drought since 1956 spread to wheat-growing Great Plains states after damaging corn and soybean yields in the Midwest and driving prices for both crops to a record.
The International Grains Council cut its stockpile forecast for the third time in as many months Aug. 23, and the United Nations said in July that grain prices drove the biggest monthly gain in food costs since 2009. Wheat reached a four-year high in July, boosting costs for Panera Bread and Grupo Bimbo, and may jump another 8.5 percent to $9.80 a bushel in three months as droughts limit output from the United States, Russia and Ukraine, according to Goldman Sachs.
"We just have no subsoil moisture at all," said David LeRoy, a 56-year-old who farms 3,000 acres about 10 miles west of Great Bend, Kan., and plans to start sowing winter wheat next month for harvesting in June. "We're going to have to have a wet winter to raise any wheat at all. When you have a small amount of rain, like we have, nothing wants to grow."
Futures surged 38 percent this year to $9.03 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade, second only to the 45 percent advance in soybeans. Both overtook a 26 percent gain in corn among the 24 commodities tracked by the Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index, which rose 3.8 percent. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities added 7.7 percent and Treasuries returned 2.1 percent, a Bank of America Corp. Index shows.
The lack of any significant rain in Kansas through July resulted in the driest three months for the state since at least 1890, according to the Western Regional Climate Center. Temperatures from January through July averaged 59.4 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius), a record for the period, said Mary Knapp, the state climatologist in Manhattan, Kansas.
Global wheat stockpiles will drop 10 percent before next year's harvest to 177.2 million metric tons, the lowest since 2009, the USDA said Aug. 10. Russia's harvest may fall 24 percent, Kazakhstan's is seen tumbling 52 percent, Ukraine may reap 32 percent less, and Australian output is forecast to drop 12 percent, the USDA said. The last time supplies were that tight, Russia imposed export restrictions that lasted 10 months.
About 70 percent of the U.S. harvest comes from winter wheat planted in September and October. The rest is spring wheat sown in June. The outlook dimmed after fields dried up from Ohio to Texas to Montana and the government declared half of all counties disaster areas. The USDA, after predicting record corn harvests in June, said this month that output will plunge 13 percent this year after kernels withered.
"The really extreme drought has shifted westward," said Dan Manternach, a wheat economist at Doane Advisory Services in St. Louis. "They're doing some field work, but some have stopped field preparations because it's too dry. That's unusual because usually if it's this dry, they say: 'Let's at least make a cloud of dust'."
U.S. farmers may still plant winter wheat because most will be guaranteed $8.60 to $8.80 a bushel from insurance policies even if the crop fails, said Doug Etheridge, a senior vice president in futures and options at RBC Wealth Management in Charlotte, N.C. Before the drought sparked a rally, futures averaged about $7.16 this year through mid-June.
Surging prices may curb demand for U.S. grain and boost sales from Canada, the fourth-largest exporter, where production is rising for a second consecutive year. U.S. shipments overseas reached 5.69 million tons from June 1 to Aug. 16, 13 percent less than a year earlier, USDA data show. The government's official forecast is for a 14 percent increase in sales in the year that began June 1.
World wheat supplies are "sufficient" to meet global demand even if Russia decides to limit exports, and prices may decline by the end of the year, Capital Economics Ltd. said in a report Aug. 30. In the year ended May 31, the top exporters were the U.S., Australia, Russia and Canada, USDA data show.
U.S. farmers may be depending on an emerging El Nino weather pattern to bring more water in the next several months. That may boost rainfall in parts of Texas, the second-largest winter-wheat grower, state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon wrote in a report on Aug. 21. Winter wheat is planted from September through November, goes dormant when temperatures drop and resumes growing in April or May.
Plants may not survive that long without more rain, especially in Kansas. The southwest corner of the state has had three consecutive years of drought, leaving an increased risk of a return to the devastation of the Dust Bowl era in the late 1930s, according to Jim Shroyer, an agronomist at Kansas State University in Manhattan. Lack of crop production in the region means fewer plants and roots to keep the dirt in place.
"I'm worried about the dust starting to blow again," Shroyer said. "I've heard people say that with our current farming techniques we'll never have a Dust Bowl again. That's a bold statement."
No one is pointing to a return to the poverty of the 1930s. Along with crop insurance and emergency subsidies made available because of the drought, U.S. farmers have been transformed from subsistence growers to global suppliers. About 20 percent of the labor force worked in farming then, compared with less than 2 percent today, according to U.S. Census data.
Global stockpiles may drop to a five-year low, Goldman analysts led by New York-based Jeff Currie said in a report Aug. 7. If production in the former members of the Soviet Union falls too low, Russia and Ukraine may impose export restrictions as they did in 2010, they said.
"We've planted wheat into dry conditions in the past, but I haven't planted into conditions where we've had an extreme dry period for this long," said Justin Knopf, a 34-year-old farmer near Salina, Kansas. "We're planning on seeding as we normally do and hoping for moisture in the next several months."

Object Caching in a Web Portal Application Using JCS | |
Subject: | Caching | |
Date: | 2003-12-24 11:02:17 | |
From: | anonymous2 | |
Response to: Caching
Caching is part of the enterprise system architecture, not a hack.
Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.

Object caching in a distributed and/or clustered environment is a different discussion stream. It is more complex architecture and may not become a thumb rule solution, as the remote objects are not performant compared to local objects. Moreover the data synchronisation, security also need to be addressed.I found this article good as it really depicts the good picture for the per-JVM caching framework.
2003-12-29 19:52:18 srinip [View]
You bring up a good point. I briefly mentioned about caching in a cluster environment in the article but didn't address the issue in detail. I agree with you that a scalable and H/A enterprise system definitely needs a well defined distributed caching framework. I will be testing my caching framework in a clustered env very soon. I will share my findings in a follow-up article. Thanks for your feedback.

Article ID: 2894518 - View products that this article applies to. SymptomsIf a Configuration Manager task sequence that uses the "Install Software Updates" step installs a software update that triggers multiple restarts after the task sequence successfully runs the Install Software Updates task, the task sequence can fail and generate the following error message: Task Sequence environment not found CauseThe first restart that is initiated by the software update is controlled by the task sequence. However, the second restart request is initiated by a Windows component (typically, Component-Based Servicing) and therefore is not controlled by the task sequence. Because the second restart is not controlled by the task sequence, the task sequence execution state is not saved before the restart. When the task sequence resumes after the second restart, no state is available to continue successfully. ResolutionTo resolve this issue, we recommend that you apply any updates that require dual restarts by using the usual Software Updates feature of Configuration Manager instead of using task sequences. The following software updates were reported as requiring multiple restarts. This article will be updated as more updates are reported. 2862330

Daniel Casillo accused of breaching JFK security
NEW YORK (AP) - A man on a personal watercraft who became stranded in a bay easily breached Kennedy International Airport's security system by walking undetected through two runways and into a terminal.
The New York Post reported Sunday that Daniel Casillo, 31, swam to a Jamaica Bay shore and then walked past motion sensors and closed-circuit cameras of the airport's state-of-the-art Perimeter Intrusion Detection System.
The $100 million system, manufactured by defense contractor Raytheon Co., is meant to safeguard against terrorists. Casillo, of New York, climbed an 8-foot-tall perimeter fence and made his way to Terminal 3, where he was approached by a Delta Airlines worker, the Post reported.
The Delta employee then alerted authorities. Casillo was charged with criminal trespass. A man who answered the phone at the home of his girlfriend, Deanna Cowan, said the couple's lawyer had advised them to stop speaking to the media.
The Port Authority said in a statement Monday that it took immediate action to increase police patrols of the airport's perimeter after the incident.
"We have called for an expedited review of the incident and a complete investigation to determine how Raytheon's perimeter intrusion detection system - which exceeds federal requirements - could be improved," the agency said in an emailed statement. "Our goal is to keep the region's airports safe and secure at all times."

Riviera - 2901 S. Las Vegas Blvd. Las Vegas, NV, 89109 (702) 794-9233
R Steak & Seafood has been redesigned to integrate old-school charm and service with new-school d�cor.
The restaurant, located close to the parking garage and valet entrance, is a gem at the Riviera for several reasons. First, the service is good. Our waiter, Bobby, has waited on generations of Riviera patrons for more than three decades. Second, the prices are some of the most reasonable in town, compared to other steakhouses. Third, the restaurant serves good, classic steakhouse fare.
For appetizers, try succulent jumbo shrimp cocktail and or traditional French onion soup. For a more exotic option, there's the Thai coconut steamed mussels.
Steaks like New York strip, a juicy 24-ounce Porterhouse and bone-in ribeye are served with roasted garlic -- a nice touch to smear over your favorite cut of beef. Entr�es also include braised short ribs and fish like salmon and swordfish served grilled, saut�ed or blackened.
For sides, the creamed corn is delicious, as are the tempura steak fries, large wedges of potato dipped in tempura batter.
R Steak & Seafood features a modern dining room, complete with soft white tufted leather walls, natural wood tables and dark leather club chairs.

Meaning: Its source is Michael, a Hebrew name meaning "Who resembles God."
Origin: "Michael."
Languages: This girl's name is used in German, English and French.
Nicknames: Chelle, Micha, Miche, Michelina, Micheline, Mikki, Shelley, Shellie, Shelly, Midge, Shell, Mich, Chel, Mizzy and Michelly
Compound Forms: Michellene and Sarah-Michelle
Variant Forms: Mckayla, Michel, Michelene, Mickaela, Mikyla, Mychael, Nichelle, Richelle, Michalla, Mikalena and Mikhaelah
Popularity: The name Michelle ranked 55th in popularity for females of all ages in a sample of 2000-2003 Social Security Administration statistics, 21st in popularity for females of all ages in a sample of the 1990 US Census and 23rd in popularity for females of all ages in a sample of the 1994 US Census.
This name is highly rated both on the 1990 U.S. Census list and in state data recording the most popular baby names.
Narrative: The French feminine forms of this name have been adopted by a large number of European languages. Though ultimately derived from the Hebrew original, their closest ancestor is the male French name Michel.
Awareness of this name was undoubtedly boosted by the immense popularity of Lennon and McCartney's 1965 ballad ''Michelle.'' Clearly addressed to a French girl (the lyrics rhyme her name with ma belle -- ''my beauty''), it reinforced the exotic, romantic impression this name can make.

Peppa Pig told to belt up
Parents whose kids have ever refused to belt up will be relieved to learn that kids TV character Peppa Pig will not in future been seen without a seatbelt, thereby ensuring that pre-school nippers are educated early in the need to travel in safety. Peppa Pig: Pic: Astley Baker Davies Astley Baker Davies, the company behind the …
Oh FPS!
There are too many 'families' in this country where the child is in charge and the parents do whatever the kids want.
My daughter is nearly 5. A while back she refused to allow me to (appropriately)strap her into the (appropriate) seat. So I simply lifted her out the car, locked the car and went back indoors. She cried about not going out and was told simply, either get strapped in, or don't go in the car - you choose. Needless to say we now have no issue about wearing seatbelts.
Peppa {oink} pig
I tend to agree that to some extent the people who have complained are perhaps missing an opportunity. I remember an occasion when our daughter saw an episode of Nijntje (Miffy in the UK) and her observation was that she does not look where she is going when riding a bike so she is naughty.
Peppa pig is also naughty for not wearing a seat belt and that is the lesson to be taken from this. But to what level do you allow the naughtiness? We do not like our daughter seeing too much violence so some cartoons are not allowed. If there were a children's show that routinely showed people smoking then that would be black listed too.
There are posts here that simply say we should not be allowing kids to use role models from the television. The trouble is that kids use everything as role models and simply telling a five year old that it is only fiction does not work. That's why we have ratings on films because kids do not always understand that television is fiction. The best you can hope for is that they realise that not all people make good role models.
I tend to agree with your approach to parenting but there is an obvious danger to telling a four year that she or he has a choice and that is that they will choose the option you did not want them to choose (most likely when it is most inconvenient).
I guess I am not the only one to use that method.
Though in my case it was taking _BOTH_ junior and the inlaw out of the car. Never had a problem since.
Please let people who have children know it is their job to teach children about fiction, otherwise the children will end up as Avatards.
When your child pays more attention to a 5 year old cartoon pig than they do to you, their parent, that's not the cartoons fault.
...they're doing all this work because one idiot parent doesn't have the nouse to tell their offspring (a) Peppa Pig is a pig and pigs can't actually drive cars and (b) shut up and do as you're told.
It's a cartoon of a family of talking pigs who live in a house, wear clothes, drive cars, etc. it isn't supposed to be realistic.
Aww C'mon!
My girl is totally addicted to Peppa (could call her a toddler uber fan and it it soooooooooo annoying) and has not once commented on the fact the pink piggy one doesn't wear a seat belt. I suspect this kids mother who complain has nothing better to do with her time other than complain about a kids tv program.
Hell in my day Fred Flintstone was driving a car with no floor let alone seatbelts and I managed to survive.
Parents, eh?
See, normally parents are all proud and stuff cos their particular little brat is "special". But whenever it suits you, you're willing to take the opposite view -- that your child is 100% identical to every other child, so if anyone claims a child is different from yours it's clearly their fault.
Wow - what excellent parenting
'She's a cartoon piggie - you're not, so you will wear a seatbelt'.
Stop using a TV to raise your children!
What happens when Tom and Jerry comes on?
Depends whom you ask
There is a significant number of people out there who are of the opinion that children cannot distinguish reality from fiction. That is why not surprisingly Tom and Jerry does not tend to come on very often on the TV nowdays. It is "politically incorrect" and "violent".
Forget Me Not?
Isn't Fifi ForgetMeNot seen driving AND waving without a seat belt in the opening sequence of every show? Fifi ForgetMeNot forgot?
its a cartoon - there are no roads in it and they live on top of a hill with an impossible to drive up incline, but they do anyway - if you can't convince a child they do not necessarily do what a cartoon talking pig does - you have serious parenting issues.
Vet who can have kids
"one parent "complained that her daughter had refused to wear a seatbelt because Peppa did not"
That is one useless mother.
Parenting FAIL
one parent "complained that her daughter had refused to wear a seatbelt because Peppa did not."
OMG epic parenting fail!
For starters - ONE parent... One out of how ever many million parents there are in this world... talk about catering to the pathetic minority!
she should have said "I'm telling you to put it on and i'm your mother, now shut up and put your seat belt on before I belt you one myself you spoilt little brat!"
It's a F'cking cartoon character FFS - Fic-tion-al Char-ac-ter, when the hell did fictional crap outweigh a parents ruling??? I bet she voted Labour.
seriously, it's dumbass parents like this who make me think back to the days when my Biology teacher ranted that everyone should have to pass a common sense, competency test and get a certificate in order to have kids
"....I bet she voted Labour"
You must be over 18 to vote.
Hallmark's latest :-
"Happy 13th Birthday Mum!!"
"Congratulations on your first ASBO"
I would have upvoted "Hallmark"
... except that it brought such a cold chill of reality.
I am saddened, and feel so glad my parents taught me personal responsibility.
Now, if only we can get the government to understand that concept, instead of being filled with Piggy Porkers, eh?
Oddly, that works for both sides of the pond...
Pigs ... In ... SpaaaaAAAAaace!
Strangely, the Peppa Pig space rocket toy *does* have seat belts, although the car toy does not.
Coming soon...
A Daily Fail petition to get compulsory seatbelts in toy cars added to BS EN71...?
I would say that being unable to convince one's child of the need to wear a seatbelt is one's own failure. Instead of phoning up the BBC to complain about Peppa Pig maybe these parents should invest in one of the many excellent books available on how to get your kids to do as they're bloody well told.
Hint: refusing to take them anywhere in the car unless they comply is a good start. If that means you don't get the weekly shop, so much the better. A couple of days of dry bread for dinner and any philosophical position they hold on seatbelts will be quickly amended.
Not aunties fault
It is totally inappropriate to complain to the BBC about Peppa Pig, as she airs on Channel 4 (do you guys not watch kids TV?)
The one time have been tempted to complain to the BBC was about an episode of Bob the Builder in which sound travels faster than light (although there are clear health and safety and competitive tendering issues in Bobsville as well).
How many complained?
"...one parent complained..."
I'm willing to bet that parent is unable to control their child at the best of times, and was simply blaming someone else for those failings. Psychologists have a word for this subconscious transfer of responsibility but I forget what it's called.
Truth in animation
That pig still seems to be walking on two legs, perhaps they should go back and amend that glaring error. Then show Peppa Pig covered in shit like a normal pig.
Mmmmm, bacon
I have a hideously disfigured nose because when my brother and I were young we used to pretend to be Tom and Jerry, and he would frequently smash me in the face with a frying pan. Some might argue that my parents should have just told him not to pound my face with iron mongery but I think it's quite obvious that children should be allowed to mindlessly emulate any behaviour they witness, regardless of whether the role model in question is a cartoon even-toed ungulate.
I blame the animators.
if there was a way to ever win this conversation, you've just done it, thats the most awesome thing I heard all day, not only did you guys get it on with heavy metal, but you actually lived to tell people who you are and how cool you can be!
Such a cool kat!
I also find it concerning that the 'Peppa Pig Push & Go Car' is open top, without a roll cage of any sort for safety. It also does not appear to have sufficient lighting to pass the MOT.
fail parenting
Agree with the fact that seatbelt should be drawn in cartoon but serious parenting fail!!!
simple remove child from car
smack on bum
Reinsert child in Car
Do up Belt
Woah hold on there...
Oh my god you can't do that...
You have to check your mirrors and the surrounding environment before driving.
Child rearing FAIL
20 years pass...
"Your honour, the defendant was only doing what she had seen on television when she smashed her husband's brains out with a heavy ashtray."
For pities sake; child's TV privilege revoked FTW.
It's not rocket science
My daughter adores Peppa Pig but even at the age of (almost) three she knows it's not real. On the two occasions she did try to wriggle out of her car seat though, we just stoppd the car and told her we're going nowhere. Worked a treat.
Forget the seatbelt issue - should a pig with both eyes on the same side of its nose be allowed to drive?
Real Ale anyone?
Is it too soon in Peppa's life for her teach our children about real ale and crap lager?
Cartoons do not influence kids
Lots of people played pacman as kids and didn't end up moving about in darkened rooms munching on pills.
Err hang on...
I too enjoy Peppa Pig...
.. which is why, like Daddy Pig, I never wear trousers in public.
The animators had "initially considered including seatbelts and child seats in the show but felt it might limit the characters' range of expressions"
- why would the seatbelt cover their faces?
Surely they would need an extra "ow this seatbelt is really pinching my massive pigbody" expression, not less.
Anyway, let this be a lesson to them. ONE WHOLE MUM complained. Take that. Never do shoddy work again. Next time it might be TWO PARENTS.
It doesn't say how old the mum is. She might actually not be much older than her kid. At least the mum didn't use the excuse herself to the cops as to why SHE wasn't wearing a belt.
Don't you know ...
Some pigs are more equal than others...
Two legs good, four legs bad.
Rather than all this re-animating stuff
Wouldn't be easier just to do one episode where Peppa get's a good slap for not listening??
Alright alright, violence is not the answer - but it does make for damn funny cartoons.
Yes.. but...
Do one episode where Peppa forgets to put her seatbelt on, crashes the car and ends up as lots of tasty pig product..
Black Pudding. Yum!
Have NO parents got any backbone these days?
If the little girl wants to act like a pig, then she should be treated like one till she sees sense.
The creator says...
"We were very naive when we started making Peppa"
the rest of the sentence read "in believing that parents knew how to bring up their children and take repsonsibility for that upgringing. We know know this is not the case and we have to waste our time making up for the poor quality of parents today." Peppa pig is 6.
Yes one complaint in 6 years. I pty the poor chinese factory that has to remake the moulds for the toys before they get banned as well for not having a seatbelt.

Hi. I have a six year old DD with hypotonia and apraxia (severe, she is non-verbal) but with no formal diagnosis. She wears diapers or pull ups, but is close to growing out of her Pampers size 7's. I have a few questions:
1) Where do you get diapers for your children after they are to big for regular diapers and/or Pull Ups?
2) Any suggestions or advice on potty training non-verbal children? She will go on the potty if we take her, but it is hit or miss and depends if she has to go right then, we haven't figured out a way for her to tell us. Her fine motor skills are not at the point where she can do sign language. Her ST is helping us with a large potty icon and seeing if she will give it to us when she has to use the bathroom.
3) What do you do if you are out of the house and you need to change a dirty diaper? It is really difficult with larger children. Yesterday at the therapy center where DD gets her therapy twice a week, I had to change her and they have NOTHING for older children, just a tiny changing table for babies. I asked if there was an empty room to change her in and (every time this happens this is an issue) the office manager acted super irritated by it. I asked her what other parents do and she said they change their kids standing up! I told her that was impossible and they should have something for older kids. It is a therapy center for children with SN, and I just can't get over that they have nothing for this type of situation.

The American Studies Program (ASP) begins again on February 4 with the arrival of 124 students. One of the primary activities that approximately 90% of the students are most interested in joining is the Tomodachi ("friendship") Program. Students want to connect and befriend people in the community and share their cultures with them, as well as learning about American culture. They will be signing up for the program in mid-March and the need for community participants is high.
Whether you are young or old, married or single, have children or not, you have something to offer! The students live on the Willamette University campus and they are busy with classes and campus life, so all we ask of program participants is once a month contact with your student(s) on your schedule. It could be for dinner, an athletic activity, shopping, movie night, etc. Many of the students say it takes a little of the homesickness away to spend time off campus with you!
There is a new initiative started by Willamette University (WU), Tokyo International University (TIU) and Tokyo International University of America (TIUA) called the Graduate Teaching Institute (GTI). The Global Teaching Fellow (GTF) teaches English language courses in the curriculum of the GTI of Tokyo International University. TIU has campuses in Kawagoe (Saitama) and Tokyo, Japan.
To learn more about these exciting positions, please click here.
One-hundred twenty three students arrived in Salem Tuesday, February 4. The Class of 2014 are here for the 11-month American Studies Program (ASP) at Willamette University. The students looked excited to finally arrive and began their orientation to campus. There will be an official welcome by the Willamette community at Goudy Commons at Tuesday's dinner. Students will be welcomed by Willamette University's Dean of Campus Life David Douglass. There will also be musical performances by campus a capella groups Headband, Tandem, and UpTop.

Off Peak

L.A. Loves a Loophole
There's no getting around it...
Power Exchange Politics: Weighing the Regulator's Role
Federal and state interests clash as the FERC battles California over the future of the state's power exchange.
The California Power Exchange will not outlive its four-year mandate because it cannot compete with lower-cost exchanges, such as the New York Mercantile Exchange, Automated Power Exchange and low-cost over-the-counter brokers. So says Edward Cazalet, chief executive officer at Automated Power Exchange and chief rival of the CalPX.
Yet price appeared far down the list of items to consider, as the Labor Day weekend wound down and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission took up arguments bearing on the future of the California Power Exchange.
On the surface, the issue seems simple: Should the FERC grant the application filed by San Diego Gas & Electric Co. for authority to sell wholesale power outside the PX? Yet the case has deeper ramifications.
SDG&E's application, though rightly filed at the FERC as the agency with authority over interstate wholesale power markets, nevertheless puts federal regulators in the difficult position of managing California's retail power market. The CalPX acknowledged the problem in its comments responding to SDG&E's motion:
"San Diego's application to this Commission [the FERC] is appropriate, because [it] has jurisdiction over sales for resale by utilities through the CalPX ¼ . However, SDG&E's application raises broad public interest issues regarding the mechanics of the California restructuring program, the length of the transition period and the efficacy of California's nascent development of an efficient competitive energy marketplace.
"In general, the [FERC] must evaluate SDG&E's proposal in light of the goals of the California restructuring program." (FERC Docket No. ER99-3426-000, comments filed July 29, 1999.)
FERC vs. CPUC: The Federal-State Conflict
Robert Berry, director of legislative affairs at Automated Power Exchange, puts the issue this way: "Suppose there had been several power exchanges operating in California at the time the FERC issued its order mandating that California's investor-owned utilities must buy and sell wholesale power only through the California PX. Would the FERC have had such authority? Could its order have survived on appeal?"
The case raises other questions as well:
* A Minimum Term? Did the California PUC impose a minimum transition period during which utilities must buy and sell through the CalPX?
* A FERC Admission? Did the FERC agree to a minimum term when it acknowledged in 1996 that a five-year term (later cut to four years) was crucial to California restructuring?
* Antitrust Only? Should the FERC conduct an antitrust analysis in reviewing the PX buy-sell requirement, looking only at market power?
* Broader Considerations? Should the buy-sell mandate end with the utility recovery of stranded costs, or does the term "transition" imply a larger goal, forcing the FERC to wait until California achieves true competition?
* A Split Obligation? Can the FERC waive the "sell" obligation even if the "buy" mandate remains in place?
* A NUG Exemption? Since state law exempted nonutility generation, why not accept the SDG&E motion as narrowed to apply only to third-party, non-QF purchased power?
* Market Too Thin? Is California's wholesale market robust enough to support trading

Sexy design, that works on all types of devices (Desktop, Tablet, Smartphone)
Fast and profesionell support and very well documented.
Thumbs up!
Websites like Flickr, Twitter or Facebook regularly change their APIs or other issues. In my case it appeared that Flickr added an additional number to new users so the plugin did not show my portfolio. After I presented the problem to the developer (Jasper), it was solved immediately. I wish every developer has this kind of support.
This plugin is an absolute must. Firstly, because of the simplicity but beautiful display and secondly the great support.
1. Very easy to install (5 min)
2. The install instructions are very detailed with screen shots
3. I received super quick support even before I purchased the product.
4. After installing and setting up, it works perfectly and I'm still a novice at Joomla.
Highly recommend this extension
Thanks Jasper.
support is excellent. I had a question, and the developer replied within 24 hours, and supplied an updated version of the plugin that fixed my issues.
highly recommend.
I just had an issue on my webserver due to a very recent PHP config.
Jason kindly replied me (on holidays !!!) and a couple of days later, I had an update in my mailbox... what could I ask more ???
New quality extensions maybe ;-)
Michaël Frippiat
Thank you for your review. It is highly appreciated! :-)
If I may give a suggestion for a next release: I am using the plugin in a blogsite and I am using the option to put one picture in an article. It would be nice when you put a small picture in the article, you can click on It to view the photo in normal size. You can use the set function, but I think the thumbnail is too small for the articles and then I need to make for each photo a new set in flickr.
Thank you for your review. It is highly appreciated!
Since you posted your review I've uploaded a new version of the plugin to the website which includes the requested feature. Secondly in this version I also improved the loading speed of single pictures. (set image description to none for single photos. Loading titles or descriptions for single images requires an extra API call which takes extra time and slows down your site.)
Thanks for the review Kat, it was a pleasure helping you out. :-)
Thanks for the review Dick! It is highly appreciated. Over the last few months I spent quite a lot of time working on the new plugin, the new website and the elaborate user guides. It is always good to hear people appreciate the hard work. :-) Keeps me motivated.
The author's contact form does not work (mail function error when have written detailed explanation).
I fixed the contact form and added my email address as well. Could you please contact me, so we can have a look on how to fix this for you. Thanks in advance.
The authentication method is very easy.
I actually had a lot of problems making this plugin work but Jasper made himself avaiable to find where was the problem (turns out that the problem was in my provider's firewall).
Thanks a lot for all the good work!
Thanks for the review Dr. Weiss. It was a pleasure helping you out! Besides that, you pointed out some issues for improvement, which improved the plugin. So thank you for the help as well! :-)
Thanks to Jasper (and team) for all the efforts they put into it.
I just stumbled into a small issue while installing as per the tutorial on the Website which mentions
[flickr install=authentication] should as rightly said in the image be [flickr install=authenticate]
Rest, all neat. :)
Thanks for the review. It is highly appreciated. :-)
As for the issue concerning the install statements. Thanks for noticing the difference between text and image. Although the plugin will accept both [flickr install=authenticate] and [flickr install=authentication], I'll change it in the text to avoid confusion. :-)
Has anyone got an idea why that would happen?
btw: I find it extremely slow when i want to display a set of 25+ pictures. I read that this could be solved by enabling the caching time...which amout of time should i type in?
Could you please contact me by email, so we can see if we can resolve this issue. This might help development and other users as well.
The plug-in is indeed quite slow upon displaying a set of pictures for the first time. Unfortunately this is due to the lack of speed of the flickr API, so I can't do much about that. Enabling caching should resolve that issue for the time the results in the cache are valid. By default the cached results are valid for 24 hours (86400 seconds). You can change the cache settings in the basic options of the plug-in.
My gripe isn't with the program. My dissappointment is that there is absolutely no way to contact the developer. You can look thru the installation documention and FAQs on the website, but if that doesn't work, you are out of luck!
There are links to a forum, but the links are broken. There is no Contact Us link. It would be nice to see someone take ownership of this really nice extention!
Thanks for yor review. As I have a bit of time on my sleeve, so I'll dig into updating the plugin to Joomla 1.6 shortly. Keep posted. ;-)

Smash-and-grab thieves target two more businesses
Thursday, 31 October 2013 09:21 Published in Local NewsThe rash of smash-and-grab burglaries continues to plague the St. Louis area. According to Fox2 News, thieves targeted not one, but two St. Louis beauty stores this morning.
The first happened around 4 a.m. at the Forever Young Beauty Supply Store at South Grand and Winnebago. It was the second time in the last month that the store was targeted. Police say the suspects got away with thousands of dollars worth of products.
The second smash and grab occurred about an hour later at Nu Fashion Beauty on South Broadway. Authorities arrived on the scene and found the same vehicle used in the first robbery. There are no suspects at this time.
GODFREY, Ill. (AP) - An Alton concrete construction worker who won $4 million on an Illinois Lottery instant ticket says he plans keep his job and use the windfall to pay off a mortgage, fix up the house and live debt-free.
The (Alton) Telegraph reports 50-year-old Douglas Compton was introduced Wednesday as the holder of the winning 50X The Cash ticket he bought October 13 at a Godfrey convenience store.
His long-term partner, Katy McCahill, also attended the ceremony, along with Compton's mother. Compton and McCahill have four sons.
Compton chose to get the money in $200,000 increments over each of the next 20 years.
The couple plans to donate to Autism Speaks, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., and an animal shelter.
BOSTON (AP) -- There hasn't been a party like this in New England for nearly a century.
Turmoil to triumph. Worst to first.
David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox, baseball's bearded wonders, capped their remarkable turnaround by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6 on Wednesday night to win their third World Series championship in 10 seasons.
Shane Victorino, symbolic of these resilient Sox, returned from a stiff back and got Boston rolling with a three-run double off the Green Monster against rookie sensation Michael Wacha.
John Lackey became the first pitcher to start and win a Series clincher for two different teams, allowing one run over 6 2-3 innings 11 years after his Game 7 victory as an Angels rookie in 2002.
With fans roaring on every pitch and cameras flashing, Koji Uehara struck out Matt Carpenter for the final out. The Japanese pitcher jumped into the arms of catcher David Ross while Red Sox players rushed from the dugout and bullpen as the Boston theme "Dirty Water" played on the public-address system.
"I say I work inside a museum, but this is the loudest the museum's been in a long time," outfielder Jonny Gomes said.
And the Red Sox didn't have to fly the trophy home. For the first time since Babe Ruth's team back in 1918, Boston won the title at Fenway Park. The 101-year-old ballpark, oldest in the majors, was packed with 38,447 singing, shouting fans anticipating a celebration 95 years in the making.
There wasn't the cowboy-up comeback charm of "The Idiots" from 2004, who swept St. Louis to end an 86-year title drought. There wasn't that cool efficiency of the 2007 team that swept Colorado.
This time, they were Boston Strong - playing for a city shaken by the marathon bombings in April.
After late-season slumps in 2010 and 2011, the embarrassing revelations of a chicken-and-beer clubhouse culture that contributed to the ouster of manager Terry Francona, and the daily tumult of Bobby Valentine's one-year flop, these Red Sox grew on fans.
Just like the long whiskers on the players' faces, starting with Gomes' scruffy spring training beard.
"As soon as we went to Fort Myers, the movie's already been written," Gomes said. "All we had to do was press play, and this is what happened."
Ortiz, the only player remaining from the 2004 champs, was the MVP after a Ruthian World Series. He batted .688 (11 for 16) with two homers, six RBIs and eight walks - including four in the finale - for a .760 on-base percentage in 25 plate appearances.
Even slumping Stephen Drew delivered a big hit in Game 6, sending Wacha's first pitch of the fourth into the right-center bullpen.
By the time the inning was over, RBI singles by Mike Napoli and Victorino had made it 6-0, and the Red Sox were on their way.
And now, all over New England, from Connecticut's Housatonic River up to the Aroostook in Maine, Boston's eighth championship can be remembered for the beard-yanking bonding.
The win capped an emotional season for the Red Sox, one heavy with the memory of the events that unfolded on Patriots Day, when three people were killed and more than 260 wounded in bombing attacks at the Boston Marathon. The Red Sox wore "Boston Strong" logos on their left sleeves and erected a large emblem on the Green Monster as a constant reminder.
A "B Strong" logo was mowed into center-field grass at Fenway.
"All those that were affected in the tragedy - Boston Strong!" Victorino said.
Red, white and blue fireworks fired over the ballpark as Commissioner Bud Selig presented the World Series trophy to Red Sox owners John Henry, Tom Werner and Larry Lucchino, leaving a smoky haze over the field.
"It was an awesome atmosphere here tonight," Lackey said.
Among the players blamed for the indifferent culture at the end of the Francona years, Lackey took the mound two days shy of the second anniversary of his elbow surgery and got his first Series win since the 2002 clincher. He pitched shutout ball into the seventh, when Carlos Beltran's RBI single ended the Cardinals' slump with runners in scoring position at 0 for 14.
Junichi Tazawa came in with the bases loaded and retired Allen Craig on an inning-ending grounder to first. Brandon Workman followed in the eighth and Uehara finished.
St. Louis had been seeking its second title in three seasons, but the Cardinals sputtered. Symbolic of the team's struggles, reliever Trevor Rosenthal tripped while throwing a pitch to Ortiz in the eighth, balking Dustin Pedroia to second.
Pedroia had brought back memories of Carlton Fisk's 1975 Game 6-winning home run, sending a first-inning drive about 10 feet foul of the Green Monster foul pole - and waving his left arm once to try to urge the ball fair as he came out of the batter's box.
Lackey escaped a two-on, none-out jam in the second when he retired Matt Adams and David Freese on flyouts and, after a wild pitch, struck out Jon Jay.
Boston wasted a similar threat in the bottom half, then went ahead on the third.
Jacoby Ellsbury singled leading off and went to second on Pedroia's grounder. Ortiz was intentionally walked, Napoli struck out and Gomes was hit above the left elbow with a pitch, loading the bases.
Victorino, wearing red, white and blue spikes with an American flag motif, had been 0 for 10 in the Series and missed the previous two games with a bad back.
Dropped from second to sixth in the batting order, he took two balls and a called strike, then turned on a 93 mph fastball and sent it high off the Green Monster, the 37-foot-high wall in left. Gomes slid home as Yadier Molina took Matt Holliday's one-hop throw and applied the tag, then argued with plate umpire Jim Joyce.
Victorino, pumped with emotion, went to third on the throw and pounded his chest with both fists three times.
After Drew's homer, Lance Lynn relieved Wacha with two on, and RBI singles by Napoli and Victorino boosted Boston's lead to 6-0. Wacha entered 4-0 with a 1.00 ERA in his postseason career but gave up six runs, five hits and four walks in 3 2-3 innings, the shortest start of the 22-year-old's big league career.
"They came up here and prepared and jumped on him, and got the big hits when they needed to," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
Boston was a 30-1 underdog to win the World Series last winter but joined the 1991 Minnesota Twins as the only teams to win titles one season after finishing in last place. Now, the Red Sox will raise another championship flag before their home opener next season April 4 against Milwaukee.
The Red Sox had not played a Series Game 6 since that infamous night at New York's Shea Stadium in 1986, when Bill Buckner allowed Mookie Wilson's 10th-inning roller to get through his legs. And there had not been one at Fenway since Fisk's 12th-inning home run off the foul pole atop the Green Monster.
Following consecutive late-season skids, the Red Sox parted with Francona at the end of the 2011 season and reports emerged of players drinking beer and eating fried chicken in the clubhouse during games.
Valentine took over as manager, injuries caused Boston to use a club-record 56 players, and the Red Sox skidded to a 69-93 record, their poorest since 1965.
John Farrell, Boston's pitching coach from 2007-10, was hired after a pair of seasons as Toronto's manager.
A roster turnover began in August 2012 when Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and their big-money contracts were traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a deal that saved Boston just more than $261.66 million through 2018. The Red Sox restocked during the offseason by signing seven major league free agents for contracts of three years or fewer at a total of $100.45 million: Victorino, Napoli, Gomes, Drew, Uehara, Ryan Dempster and Ross.
After losing closers Joel Hanrahan and Andrew Bailey to injuries early in the season, the Red Sox remained relatively healthy: Seventeen players wound up on the DL, down from 27. They finished 97-65 - matching St. Louis for the best record in the major leagues - and made the playoffs for the first time since 2009. They also became the first team since the 2005 Cardinals to navigate the season without losing more than three in a row.
After falling behind 2-1, the Red Sox closed with three straight wins over St. Louis in a Series that featured a couple of crazy finishes and game-turning calls.
"Our guys have played real hard," Matheny said. "A lot to be proud of."

Twenty-eight LPGA Pros to join host Val Skinner May 18 to raise funds for breast cancer research and awareness programs
Release provided courtesy of the Val Skinner Foundation.
PARAMUS – May 12, 2009 – Twenty-eight of the most elite women golfers in the world from the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour will join LPGA veteran and event founder Val Skinner to celebrate the 10th anniversary LIFE (LPGA Pros in the Fight to Eradicate Breast Cancer) Event. The 2009 LIFE Event will celebrate its 10th anniversary on May 18 at the Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, N.J., home of the PGA Tour's 2008 Barclays Tournament.The LIFE Event, the biggest single-day golf event fundraiser for breast cancer initiatives, benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the LPGA's official national charity and largest private backer of breast cancer research and education, and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.

LIFE funds have been used to establish programs such as BioCONECT, the Komen On the Go™ Tour and other cancer education, research and prevention programs. LIFE has raised more than $5.1 million for the breast cancer fight since its inception in 2000."I am extremely proud of all the accomplishments LIFE has been a part of in the last decade," said Skinner. "Looking back at the list of LIFE highlights serves as motivation to continue our diligent fight against breast cancer. Every step moves us forward and makes a difference."Twenty-eight LPGA pros, including LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Fame members Beth Daniel and Karrie Webb and top ranked players Angela Stanford, Morgan Pressel, Brittany Lincicome, Helen Alfredsson, Laura Davies, Christiana Kim and Laura Diaz will participate in the 10th annual LIFE Event.Over the past decade, the LIFE Event pro-am has drawn participation from more than 65 pros representing 14 countries.

Many of the LPGA stars who support the Val Skinner Foundation have also watched friends and family lose their battle with breast cancer and participate in LIFE to create a brighter future for all young women."The scope of breast cancer is global," said Skinner. "I started the LIFE Event a decade ago to give women golfers from all countries an opportunity to join together in the fight for a cure. The disease has touched all of our lives."The LIFE Event will be followed by a reception that will highlight the innovative programs LIFE Funds support. The reception will also feature the announcement of the 2009 LIFE heroes, individuals who have shown courage throughout their personal experiences and battles with breast cancer and/or purpose in the fight against the disease.
