THE focus on men's violence towards each other on a night out has distracted people from domestic abuse which cuts across age, race, sex, culture and wealth says Housing Plus chief executive officer Karen Andrews.
The number of domestic violence related assaults increased in Orange by 7 per cent from 2008 to 2012 and 85 per cent of the incidents happened behind closed doors
Domestic violence occurred in the home, on the streets, in schools and in the workplace yet little media attention was dedicated to the crime which occurred daily Mrs Andrews said.
One Orange resident, who asked to remain anonymous, recalled her life growing up in a world where the domestic violence was normal.
"In the process of beating mum, the house would get all smashed up.
"The next morning, we'd wake up and mum will be cleaning and fixing everything up before we got up and she would have a black eye, swollen mouth."
She said her father was the last to rise and he would walk into the kitchen and act like nothing unusual had happened.
Mrs Andrews said Orange residents must be careful domestic violence in Orange does not become a silent killer.
"It is our responsibility as a community to acknowledge domestic violence, open our eyes to it and not condone it.
"In Orange from October 2012 to September 2013, Orange police made 275 domestic assault charges. This is extremely high for a town our size."
People who experience domestic violence suffer not only physically but there can be negative social, welfare and legal consequences, Ms Andrews said.
Housing Plus key programs Operation Courage and the Central West Women's Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service assist women who have experienced domestic violence.
Last year Operation Courage assisted 76 distinct clients with domestic violence crisis management, referral and advocacy and provided accommodation for 16 families totalling 1455 bed nights.
In 2013 in Orange, the Central West Women's Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service assisted 117 women to obtain apprehended domestic violence orders and made 110 referrals to other services to ensure their other social, welfare and legal needs were met.
Of the total number of domestic violence related assaults in the 12 months prior to September 2013, 35 per cent were alcohol related.
The crime is still largely committed by men and in the same time period 140 were arrested compared to 27 women.
In the 12 months prior to September 2013 there were 304 victims, 72 per cent were women and 10 per cent were children.
If you or someone you know may be experiencing domestic violence contact Operation Courage on 6361 1056 or the Central West Women's Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service on 6361 3345.

Packers starting wide receiver Greg Jennings was a limited participant in practice Tuesday afternoon, as Green Bay prepares to host the Seattle Seahawks Monday night. Jennings missed the Packers' Week 2 23-10 win over NFC North rival Chicago with a groin injury suffered against San Francisco in Week 1 on Sept. 9.
Running back James Starks is also expected to return to practice this week. Starks has been dealing with a turf toe injury sustained against San Diego in a preseason game Aug. 9.
Cedric Benson has been carrying the backfield load for Green Bay in Starks' absence. Packers head coach Mike McCarthy had this to say about Starks' return Tuesday afternoon:
Everybody on our football team has a role. It'll be good to get him back out there, but turf toe is an injury, I don't think you just jump up out of bed one day and you're OK. There will be some transition time for him to come back. As far as his role, that's really determined during the week. Our running back position is probably as competitive as its ever been since I've been here. I feel really good about that group, top to bottom.
Without Jennings, Jordy Nelson was Green Bay's leading wide receiver last Thursday, catching six balls for 84 yards. Benson was the second-leading receiver, with 35 yards out of the backfield.

Whole Grain Diet Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
The Whole Grain Diet book is authored by Dr. Lisa Hark and Dr. Darwin Dean. The book explains the important of eating whole grains as part of a healthy diet for weight loss and other health factors. Whole grains are a rich source of fiber and tend to be lower in fat and higher in nutritional content.
There is no official website for the Whole Grain Diet Miracle, but the book is available online. With the huge influx of information in the dieting community on the dangers of eating carbohydrates, many dieters question the power of the Whole Grain Diet. According to the authors, eating any food in excess causes weight gain. The diet is evidently rooted in portion control, a difficult concept for many dieters.
List of Ingredients
Diet book based on the power of whole grain foods.
Product Features
The Whole Grain Diet Miracle offers scientific evidence supporting eating whole grains as part of a healthy diet. The authors list whole grains as a superfood, but this is a bit of a stretch. Superfoods tend to be highly nutritious offering antioxidant support. Whole grains are not particularly rich in antioxidants.
The book includes a six-week plan for weight loss and improved health. There are 50 recipes including whole grains and a list of whole grains to choose from. Whole grains supply carbohydrates and fiber, but they lack protein and healthy fat support so the diet must integrate these food products for overall health.
Whole grains tend to be calorie-dense, making it difficult to feel full with just one serving. This is one of the reasons why dieters tend to leave carbohydrates behind in place of other food groups while dieting.
The authors of the Whole Grain Diet Miracle push whole grains for nutritional support claiming nutrients are better when consumed through food not supplements. This is a proven benefit of eating whole foods. The body absorbs vitamins and nutrients better when consumed in food.
The Whole Grain Diet sells for less than $1 on Amazon.com. The book was written in 2006. Many changes have occurred in nutrition since the book was published, including clinical support for low carbohydrate eating as a means for weight loss. The information in the book is likely outdated at this time. There are only a few reviews on Amazon.com.
- The book costs less than other diet books.
- Supports consuming vitamins and nutrients from whole foods.
- Information in the book is likely outdated.
- Dieters with diabetes should be wary of following this diet.
- The authors claim whole grains are more important that other food groups.
Whole grains are a healthy source of fiber, but they tend to be calorie-dense, something a dieter is not looking for in a weight loss diet. Whole grains are not thermogenic and they will not increase weight loss. While taking in vitamins and nutrients from whole food sources is healthier than supplementation, this does not mean supplements should be left out of a weight loss diet. Green tea, chromium and caffeine are clinically proven to increase metabolism and decrease hunger.

A few things
Hope some one can help answer a few questions,
My wife has a 2003 X5 3.0i E53,
Push fan not working, this summer i noticed the car started to overheat so i checked the radiator level and it was a little low, added som coolent and thought i was good until i hit traffic, it was over 100F outside and bumper to bumper agian started to overheat, pulled over, opened the hood and noticed the push fan was not working. Once cooled down started driving again then the stop, check oil pressure sign came on.
I was told to change the oil pressure switch first before anything else. I did that but once i changed the oil, filter and pressure switch i noticed oil leaking in the stiffner plate, i traced it to the cylinder head area in the front.
Does anyone have any helpfull advice on what i can do ?

This article was written by Curtis Frye, the author of Microsoft Office Excel 2003 Programming Inside Out. Visit Microsoft Learning to buy this book.
In this article, we'll discuss the importance of setting and maintaining appropriate macro security levels, and helping to ensure that your system doesn't fall victim to macros written with the intention of compromising your computer.
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a programming language that allows you to create powerful macros to make repetitive tasks easier. Unfortunately, many viruses are designed to exploit the power of VBA macros to inflict adverse actions against your system and data files. The best defense against this is to use macro security in conjunction with antivirus software to reduce the possible threats.
You should already have a virus-checking program or two installed on your computer to act as the first line of defense against macro viruses (viruses written using a macro programming language). New viruses pop up all the time, however, and it's possible that your detection programs won't recognize the latest threats. After your second line of defense — which is you, casting a critical eye on every file you receive (expected or not) — you can turn to the macro security settings in Microsoft Excel.
Macro security settings determine how permissive Excel should be about allowing macros to be run on your computer. There are four security levels: Very High, High, Medium, and Low. You control these in the Security dialog box (Tools menu, Options command, Security tab, Macro Security button), as shown in the following illustration.
You should cross Low macro security off your list of acceptable macro security settings. Even if you have an all-but-foolproof virus scanner, allowing even one virus to get through is one too many. No software can know what macros you are or aren't expecting, so you need to make sure there's an active human in the security loop. That human is you.
The next level of macro security is Medium. At this level, whenever you open a workbook that contains macros, Excel displays a dialog box asking if you want to enable macros. You have the following options:
If you need to work with a lot of macros, and you are the only person who uses your computer, and you are confident you'll remember not to click Enable Macros if you get an unexpected file (or a file you didn't expect to contain macros), you may want to use Medium macro security from time to time. However, it's not recommended that you use the Medium setting on a regular basis. Also, if you share your computer with other users, you should strongly consider changing the macro security setting to High.
High macro security is the recommended macro security setting for all users. You should consider using this level of macro security if you work in an environment where you don't need to write any of your own macros and the only add-ins you would consider adding are either included with Excel (for example, the Analysis ToolPak) or are add-ins you have written yourself and signed with a digital certificate.
This setting requires that an add-in or macro be digitally signed by a trusted publisher, or be installed in a trusted location, before the macro will be allowed to run. A trusted publisher (called a trusted source in previous versions of Excel) is an entity that:
Most often you choose to trust an individual or corporation with a digital certificate by selecting a check box. For example, the Always trust content from Microsoft Corporation check box appears in a dialog box when you're asked to install an add-in to Excel or a plug-in for Internet Explorer.
When your macro security is set to High, Excel will run only those macros that are digitally signed or stored in a trusted location, such as the Excel startup folder. Permissions should be applied to all trusted locations, so that only administrators can manage the files that are stored there.
Note Unsigned macros stored in the Excel startup folder will only run when you first start Excel. They will not run when you open the file in Excel by clicking Open on the File menu.
For unsigned macros to run, the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box needs to be selected on the Trusted Publishers tab of the Security dialog box. This option is selected by default, as shown in the following illustration. If it is not selected, Excel will only run macros with trusted digital signatures. Digital signatures and certificates are covered in some depth later in this article.
The Trusted Publishers tab also provides the Trust access to Visual Basic Project check box, which is cleared by default so that Excel can warn you about macros that are trying to access the Visual Basic Project.
The highest level of macro security, Very High, prevents Excel from running any macros or add-ins. Only macros in a specific folder on your computer are trusted, whether they are digitally signed or not. This folder must have folder or file level permissions set, for security purposes.
Unless you are an administrator who controls the degree of security at the folder or file level, you won't need to use Very High macro security.
The mechanics of High macro security rely in part on the use of digital signatures to verify the source of the VBA code in a workbook. A digital signature is the result of using the principles of public-key encryption techniques to create a unique combination of the signed material and another file that is known only to you — the result of which can be verified as having been signed by you. The mathematics are quite complex, relying on group theory and other disciplines only a handful of researchers really understand, but here's a synopsis of how it works.
The first step is for you to generate a key. It will be used to encrypt your data by adding the values in the key to the values in the text. A simple example would be if your key were the letter a and the word to be encrypted were kazoo. If you "add" a (the first letter in the alphabet) to each letter in kazoo, each letter moves one place up in the alphabet, resulting in the encrypted word lbapp. The key you'll actually generate is much, much longer, and it's split into two parts:
Depending on the encryption software package you use, you might be able to use your public-key and private-key pair to digitally sign workbooks and macro code that you distribute over your internal network. The problem with using key pairs that aren't distributed outside your organization is that no one outside your network will have any idea whether your signature is valid or not. If you need to work with individuals outside your corporate network, you can obtain a digital certificate from a trusted third-party vendor. A digital certificate is an electronic file that identifies you, and contains information such as:
After you sign a document using a digital certificate, anyone who wants to verify that certificate can go to the key server maintained by the issuing authority and match the signature to your public key.
You can find a list of participants in the Microsoft Root Certificate Program on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site.
If you don't want to take the plunge and purchase a digital certificate from a commercial provider, you can create one of your own by using the Office helper application, Selfcert.exe.
Note Bear in mind that this home-grown certificate can only be used on your own computer. Other users who open a file you signed with Selfcert.exe won't have the ability to trust the certificate you created.
After you have acquired a digital certificate from a certification authority, you can digitally sign a workbook by using the Select Certificate dialog box.
Note The Select Certificate dialog box that appears when you sign your VBA code may contain certificates that have expired. Make sure the certificate you select is current, because signing a macro with an expired (that is, invalid) certificate is equivalent to not signing it at all.
The macro security settings available to you in Excel may seem confusing at first, but the guidelines for working with macros can be summarized like this:
For optimal macro virus protection and assurance that all macros will run, you should do all of the following:

It's kind of sad, but for most people Memorial Day only means the start of the summer vacation season or maybe a day off work and a long weekend.
It was first known as Decoration Day and it originated following the Civil War to commemorate the soldiers who had died in that specific war. Later the observances were extended to honor fallen veterans of all wars. And in some parts of this country it traditionally marks the time of year to visit and decorate the graves of deceased relatives, whether they served in the military or not.
Now I know you've probably got a lot going on this weekend. I do too. But let's try to at least take a few minutes to honor and remember those who have passed on, especially our fallen veterans. You can still watch the Indy 500 and enjoy family gatherings and beach outings. But taking in a Memorial Day observance, like the one at the National Cemetery on Monday morning or at the Battleship on Monday evening, could really make your weekend more meaningful.
That's my turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment, or anything else, email me at email@example.com.

Perhaps all those pitches and innings have caught up with him. Maybe because of last year's injury he is unable to get back his normal movement on his pitches. It's possible that at age 36, his body is telling him no more.
But what if that's not the case? What if, after posting 8 consecutive seasons before 2008 with a sub-4 ERA, and 6 of those 8 at sub-3, he is able to rebound from an injury shortened season? What if, even if he may not be the same player he was at 26 now at 36, he still has something left in the tank?
The Rays, once again, could be on the right side of a low-risk move. A 36 year old, established competitor and very good pitcher over the course of his career now once again has to prove himself.
"I'm excited,'' Isringhausen told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I've still got to make the team. I didn't get any guaranteed money. Didn't need it. ... I just need to pitch, to show I can pitch.''
The guy is playing to show he can still play--for the fun of competition and to be able to play the game he loves. The desire is there. If his arm has anything left, this could be one of the best moves the Rays made this offseason. Slowly and surely, the Rays are adding relievers with plenty of experience in high-leverage situations. One thing's for sure, he doesn't have to be the Rays 'closer' for this to pay big dividends.

|D-phenylalanine (DPA) may be helpful for some individuals with Parkinson's disease. [Arzneimittelforsch 26: pp.577-9, 1976]
|A recommended dosage is usually 2 to 3gm daily, depending on the severity of the vitiligo. For best absorption, L-phenylalanine should be taken in between meals.
|Phenylalanine can affect depression via three separate pathways.
|The 'D' form of phenylalanine (DPA) has been used to treat chronic pain, including rheumatoid arthritis, with mixed effectiveness.
|D-phenylalanine (DPA) has been used to treat the chronic pain of osteoarthritis with both positive and negative results.
|The brain responds to pain signals by producing and activating morphine-like hormones called endorphins. This pain relief effect lasts for about 30 hours (longer than known analgesics), and without side-effects when given frequently. It was discovered that d- and dl-Phenylalanine (DLPA), but not l-Phenylalanine, inhibit several of the enzymes responsible for endorphin destruction. DLPA appears to restore endorphin levels to a normal range, while simultaneously producing a reduction in pain. It often equals or exceeds morphine or other opiate derivatives in its effect and is non-addictive. Start with 500mg qd and work up to 3-4gm qd. This is a precursor for epinephrine and phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA has amphetamine-like stimulant properties. Chocolate contains high levels of PEA.

Thread: Moss/Bennett and the O-line
Moss/Bennett and the O-line
O-LINE OVATION – Four of the Vikings 5 offensive line starters have opened all 10 games on the season (Birk-C, Lacina-LG, Dixon-RG, Liwiensk-RT) and have paved the way for the Vikings rushing attack to rank #1 in the NFL, Michael Bennet to rank 2nd in the NFC in rushing and Moe Williams to lead the NFC with 10 rushing TDs. Now joining the Vikings regular O-line starters is 2002 #7 overall selection and Outland Trophy winnner Bryant McKinnie, who earned his 1st start at LT vs. Green Bay. Veteran Everett Lindsay, who has started an NFL game at every O-line position has shared snaps with McKinnie the past 2 weeks. The Vikings are poised to break team records for rushing TDs (22 in 1988) and rushing yards (2,279 in 1965) with 2002 totals of 18 and 1,595 respectively. Aside from McKinnie, the unit's highest-drafted member is Lacina, the 167th player taken in 1993 by Buffalo. Dixon and Liwienski each started their career on the practice squad.
MOSS ATTACK –With 115 yards receiving vs. Green Bay (11/17/02) Randy Moss set a NFL record for most receiving yards in his first five seasons in the league with 6,160 yards to surpass Jerry Rice's record of 6,136 yards. Moss went over the 1,000-yard mark on the season vs. Tennessee (12/9/01) and became the only WR in NFL history to break 1,000 yards in each of his first 4 seasons in the League. In 36 career games vs. the NFC Central/North Moss has 194 catches for 3,416 yards and 29 touchdowns. Since entering the NFL in 1998, only Marshall Faulk (79) has scored more TDs than Moss' 58. Moss is 2nd in team history with 57 receiving TDs. Moss set the club mark for receiving yards in a season with 1,437 in 2000, breaking his own record. Moss set his single-season high in catches with 82 in 2001. Moss is tied for 1st in the NFC lead with 62 catches (does not include Monday Night Football), the best start to a season of his career. His 62 catches is the best start to a season for a Viking since Cris Carter had 77 catches in the 1st 10 games of the 1994 season en route to a 122-catch season and a then-NFL record. Moss' previous best start through 10 games was 53 in 1999 and 2001.

Three children and their parents suffered serious burns in an apartment fire Thursday morning, authorities said.
One child and the mother suffered severe burns, according to a Kansas City Fire Department spokesman. All five were rushed to an area burn unit.
Initial reports were that all three children suffered severe burns. Battalion Chief James Garrett said he could confirm that one child suffered severe burns and that the mother has critical injuries.
The father's injuries were serious but not as severe. He risked his own life to save his family with neighbors saying he was yelling that he had to save his family.
One of the children is an infant. Neighbors said the other two children are under 5 years old.
The fire broke out just before 9 a.m. inside the third-floor apartment. The Shadow Creek Apartments are at 96th Street and Hillcrest Road.
Residents said smoke alarms blared just before 9 a.m.
Thick smoke kept Aisha Hines from escaping her apartment. She retreated to her balcony until firefighters rescued her via a ladder. She said seeing the burns on those injured was really difficult.
"Basically they were all burned up," she said. "They weren't saying nothing. They were terrified. The little boy was terrified running up and down."
She said the oldest boy, who she estimated to be about 5 years old, suffered burns on his arms and legs. She said the father, the second boy and infant had burns to their extremities.
"Mom took the most impact," she said.
She was terrified and called her mother via her cell phone while waiting for firefighters to rescue her.
"My mama told me to jump but I decided not to. I love my legs. I saw the fire department coming so I stayed and waited until they came and got me with the ladder," she said.
She plans to support the family during their recovery including going to the hospital.
"She's my friend," she said about the woman injured. "I worked with her so I know her personally."
Because of the extent of the injuries from the flames, the department's bomb and arson unit is investigating.
Apartment management and the local chapter of the American Red Cross are working to provide housing to affected residents.

Thursday night will be a double whammy for Lauren Conrad.
The former Hills and Laguna Beach star will be at Books & Books Bal Harbour Shops at 6 p.m. to sign two HarperCollins books a makeup guide, Beauty: Lauren Conrad, and a novel about a reality star in Hollywood called Starstruck. Its the sequel to her bestseller The Fame Game.
That the books are out at the same time is no coincidence.
I wasnt writing them at the same time, just promoting them this way. I prefer to do all the press at once, she says from Los Angeles.
Conrad is only 26, but her work ethic is off the charts. If the [editors] give you a deadline, you get it done. If I didnt have one, Im not sure I could pull off two books. But yeah, its a lot.
Hard to believe Conrad has no background in writing, just fashion. She learned the process by reading her favorite authors, comedians Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, Kathy Griffin. I wanted to write a book that I would want to read, Conrad explains. I like a funny book where the voice has a strong presence in the writing.
Conrad is a seriously busy lady. The designer has two fashion lines contemporary casual wear Paper Crown and her LC collection for Kohls. Add to that green bags XO(Eco) made from recycled plastic, sold on Amazon.
All this work and no play is getting to her. Im like a baby. I need a lot of sleep, and Im not getting it. Ive had caffeine, but its not working!
Shell be happy to get to Miami and unwind with some shopping. I love it there, especially the mannequins you guys have in store windows. They have such huge boobs! Its always a little shocking. Im like, wow.
As for her future plans, they wont include any stints on reality shows.
I dont miss having my life on television, though I did enjoy the creative process and the producing angle. Im happy now that other peoples lives arent affected by my choices. My friends dont have to sign a release to spend my birthday with me.

I was really late to the party too. My wife lost weight, had tons of GNOs, dropped the kids off at family or friends when I was out of town, lots of "business trips and work social events" but I wasn't able to see the writing on the wall until a few years later. This lasted for about nine months which is probably how long it took for the dopamine buzz to wear off or for one party to want to take it to the next level and the other not willing to. My wife also put the 15 lbs back on too.Changed_Man said:How do you start any conversation like this? You be honest and forthright... you sit her down, you tell her that the affair has never been properly settled in your mind and there is no expiration date. You promise that if you get straight answers to troubling questions, this wont be a reoccurring event, and the real healing of the marriage can truly begin. it may be safest to do this in couples counseling.
Ok, so you walk into the worlds greatest marraige counselor and try this. She agrees and tells you what she said the first time. What do you do then.As I walk through notorlac's scenarios for the possible realities, I think1. That is the answer you wil get 95% of the time if there is more (100% if not ) and2. You have gained nothing and may cause more damage.
Actually she changed jobs at the same company on her own and currently is at a totally different location. But people float around sometimes. Her changing jobs and locations just makes me think she ended it but with the evidence I have it could just be that it is a better job, less hours and more money which it is.@mixnmatchI assume you've considered having her change jobs.
Trust me I am the last person in the world who doesn't want to know. It's just really hard to get someone to admit to my gut feeling and year old circumstantial evidence that can be rationalized away. I've even approached it through MC with the same you are crazy response. However, in the present I hired a PI, monitored text/phone/computer and location. Turned up zero. I know if I had a PA and my wife turned up what I have a year or so after it ended like I did I would lie and take that to my grave. I suspect she would do the same if she feels like it was a giant mistake. Especially now that I have MAPed like a mad man and now I'm the guy she really wants to be married to. It's sort of a loose loose situation especially now that I'm passing on ass daily.Changed_Man said:Ok, so you walk into the worlds greatest marraige counselor and try this.

You're trying to make a point here, maybe you should just be plain. Is there school of thought that it's better to not know? Yes, @mixnmatch sounds like he subscribes to it and I would never judge on how he's wired to process this. Me? Nope, I needed to know everything and lay it all out on the table. Why? Because everything I've read and believe says that this is how you build trust.
If I went into the world's best counselor, knew that there was more but not specifics, and she continued to stonewall me, there would be no chance to rebuild trust and the marriage would be done. Non-negotiable.
Ok, so I think that is the disagreement. Lets assume your right. What do you do if she tells the same story as the first time you asked?
@changed_man "If I knew if there was more, was asking specifics" Exactly. He doesn't have those two conditions. He doesn't know there is more. He doesn't have any specifics that are unexplained. His situation does not match the assumptions.
Ok, thanks for clearing it up.StillConfused2 said:@Changed_Man, @The_Dude. I thank you for your comments and will let you know exactly what I know.
From My Wife: They did share that she and the OM had feelings for each other and said they should never act on it as it would end their respective marriages. They were never sexual and she swore to God on the Kids they were not. She admitted that she was in appropriate and that she wanted to stay married and that she would not contact him any longer which was the case from what I could see from my monitoring.
From Me : I read all here texts and facebook messages there was nothing sexual or flirtatious except the day before I confronted her. I saw that she did stop contact. No more texts or Facebook. They do not work in the same office any more but on occasion they could and every time she did/does tells me the day before. I have spot checked on occasion.
after all that and I hope I was complete enough. I still have a suspicion it could have been sexual maybe over the time they were away out of town on training. It could just be insecurity that dwells up and maybe due to triggers. I do appreciate the comments and the insight I have received.
It doesn't sounds like it went physical, though certainly very close.
The issue is the wound never gets to fully close because they still work near each other once in a while and you get to hear this guys name again and again from her.
If you're still monitoring her, it's *never* been over. It will drive you crazy if you keep doing it. It's very much a "go in and find what you need, then get out" thing.

Weather's too hot for steam train visit to Weymouth
10:00am Saturday 13th July 2013 in News By Martin Lea
A STEAM train to Weymouth this weekend has been cancelled – because it's too hot.
The train from Bristol, one of a series of special rail tours running to Weymouth this summer, was due to come tomorrow.
But as temperatures continue to soar and with the hot and dry weather expected to last throughout the weekend, Network Rail has slapped a ban on steam trains in this area due to the risks of them causing trackside fires.
A spokesman said: "We advised the train operator to substitute the steam locomotives for a diesel to reduce the fire risk.
"In this case they couldn't run with a diesel and decided to cancel the service."
She said the risk was that sparks from the locomotive could ignite foliage along the line and that the ban during this type of weather was standard practice.
The Railway Touring Company, which had planned to run the train, said passengers on the Weymouth Seaside Express would either be offered a full refund or have their tickets transferred to another rail trip date. The train had been 'pretty well-subscribed' the company said.
The Norfolk-based company is planning to run steam train day-trip excursions from Bristol on July 28 and August 4, 11 and 18.
It is also running the Dorset Coast Express from London Victoria to Weymouth on July 24 and 31, August 7, 14, 21, 28 and September 4 and 11. This is the third consecutive summer the firm is running regular steam trains to Weymouth.
As well as providing a boost for the local economy – the trains bring about 400 people at a time who get to spend a few hours in Weymouth – the locomotives make a great spectacle.
Magnificent steam engines from the glory days of British Railways are in charge of the trains. Past visitors have included Nunney Castle, Braunton, Sir Lamiel and Tangmere.

According to the Survey of Inmates of State Correctional Facilities by the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, the following statistics have been recorded concerning the characteristics of offenders who violate and assault children.
* Those inmates who were convicted of committing violent acts against children were more like to have been white, a percentage of nearly 70%, than any other race.
* White inmates were nearly three times more likely to have victimized a child than black inmates.
* About one in every seven Hispanic convicts had been convicted for a crime against a child.
* Nearly two-thirds of convicted child molesters and/or offenders were or had been married.
* Child molesters and offenders were more likely to have grown up in a two parent home and were more likely to have been molested as a child.
* Approximately 22% of child offenders reported having been sexually abused as a child.

Former Top 10 Heavyweight in the World and Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski agreed to fight 31-5 (Boxing record) Fres Oquendo in exhibition bout in Fontainebleau Miami Beach, Hotel and Resort on Saturday, February 27th.
The fight will be a 4-rounder, and it looks like Arlovski, who planned to make his Professional Boxing debut a long time ago is happy with an opportunity to test his skills: "I am honored to step into the ring with a great fighter like Fres Oquendo. This is going to be an exciting exhibition match but we already know the winner: the children we are helping"
Fres Oquendo, who well-known for his fights against Evander Holyfield and James Toney, is also happy to test his striking against "one of Mixed Martial Arts' best":
"I have seen Arlovski in the ring and in the cage and I am excited to be able to showcase my skills against an MMA legend. Believe me; we are going to go at it for four rounds with the goal that every punch and every blow helps this cause."
Oquendo - Arlovski fight will be an interesting experiment between Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts. Andrei Arlovski will enjoy an experience from training with a famous Boxing coach Freddie Roach for his fight against Fedor Emelianenko at Affliction: Day of Reckoning.

I'll be headed down I-95 from Jersey to Baltimore this weekend to see our boys play. Anybody else going to be there/know of any tailgates? Probably going to hit Pickles Pub before the game if not, but would be awesome to come contribute to a Texans' tailgate. Also curious to see how outnumbered I will be at M&T Bank Stadium.
Looking forward to hearing from you all and for those that can't make it we'll do our best to bring back the victory!

"Something terrible was happening at that house," Michelle Burger testified.
"Her shouts, her screams were petrifying," she said later.
Burger was the only witness Monday in a trial that is expected to last a few weeks. Testimony was scheduled to resume Tuesday morning.
Under questioning by prosecutors, Burger told the court that she heard a woman's screams and a man yelling for help.
"Just after 3, I woke up from a woman's terrible screams," she said. "Then I also heard a man screaming for help. Three times he yelled for help."

NBC Edits Out IOC Anti-Discrimination (Gay) Statement From Opening Winter Olympic Ceremony in Sochi
What was the #1 story leading up to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games, other than a possible terrorist attack? It was Russia's views and laws that were anti-discriminatory against Gays.
So then why did NBC edit out the one part of the IOC's statement during the opening ceremony that was commenting about Russia's anti-discrimination" policies? As Buzz Feed reports, IOC president Thomas Bach made a strong statement against "any form of discrimination" and in favor of tolerance; however, no one in America watching the games saw or heard them because NBC conveniently edited them out. But of course NBC is no stranger to editing out important parts of the news are they (George Zimmerman 911 call). Hmm, why edit something that spoke so directly to what was considered an important part of the games? Please, and I do not want to hear about it being edited for time. There was much more of his speak that could have found it's way onto the editing room floor.
What would the Peacock say?
More from Deadspin more on the edits and both VIDEO's, one edited, the other not.
Good evening, dear Athletes. Mr president of the Russian Federation, Mr Secretary General of the United Nations, Good evening Olympic friends and fans around the world! Welcome to the 22nd Olympic Winter Games! Tonight, we are writing a new page in Olympic history.

UPDATE I: An NBC spokesperson stated "The IOC President's comments were edited for time, as were other speeches, but his message got across very clearly to viewers.

New Olympic Terror Threats Ahead of Sochi Winter Games … US Warns Airlines About Toothpaste Tube Bomb
Just ahead of the start of the Sochi Winter Olympics and a new terror threat …
The United States Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning to US and some foreign airlines travelers to Russia for the Sochi Olympic Games to be on the look out for tubes of toothpaste. According to the ABC report, that cited a senior U.S. official, intelligence has indicated that toothpaste tubes can hold ingredients that could be used to construct a bomb aboard a plane. The information "specifically targets flights to Russia." This threat was also linked to the arrests of two women in France. The women, reportedly 23- and 30-years-old, were of Chechen descent. Leading up to the Olympics in Sochi, there have been many terror attacks in the region, concerns of black widows already being in the area, and promises by Chechen terrorists of delivering "surprise packages."
The Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning to U.S. and some foreign airlines traveling to Russia for the Olympic Games to be on the lookout for toothpaste containers, which some intelligence indicates may actually hold ingredients that could be used to construct a bomb aboard a plane, a senior U.S. official told ABC News.
The official did not provide further details about the warning or the intelligence that prompted it, but an official with the Department of Homeland Security, while declining to discuss the specific warning, said the department "regularly shares relevant information with domestic and international partners, including those associated with international events such as the Sochi Olympics."
"While we are not aware of a specific threat to the homeland at this time, this routine communication is an important part of our commitment to making sure we meet that priority," the official said. "As always, our security apparatus includes a number of measures, both seen and unseen, and DHS will continue to adjust security measures to fit an ever evolving threat environment."
A federal law enforcement source said the information is largely intended for foreign carriers and the generic threat is not directed at the U.S. homeland. The Russian government has been informed, the source said.
Going to the Olympics, leave your toothpaste at home.
In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper last week, U.S. President Barack Obama said that he believes "Sochi is safe." Great, this coming from the man who said, if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your health care plan. Some how this is hardly a vote of confidence for the Winter Olympic Games.

With Terror Threats Ahead of Sochi Winter Olympic Games, American Athletes and Americans Urged Not to Wear Anything that ID's them as Americans in Public
Sorry, but if this is what the Olympics has come to, then the terrorists have won …
The Olympic represent the pinnacle of National pride for the host country and for the athletes who represent their own countries competing in the games. But as reported by CBS News, Americans might be hard pressed to find the stars and stripes and team USA logos in Sochi. The Olympic committee told the US athletes not to wear anything that identifies them as American in public. Sadly, the gutless Barack Obama/John Kerry State Department agrees. So athletes and fans are not supposed to show pride and patriotism in the US, they are supposed to cower in fear. Why even go if that is the case? This speaks volumes of our current federal government an namely Barack Obama, doesn't it!!!
It would appear that the motto of the Olympics of Citius, Altius, Fortius (faster, higher, stronger) has been changed to take part in your sport under the cloak of anonymity and hide from those who would kill you.
So let's understand this, the US is succumbing to the threats of terrorists? Really? We are allowing terrorists to dictate what we do and how we act? What a gutless government we have. Sorry, but if the Olympic committee was really serious about any of this they would have never granted the Winter Olympic games to be held in the middle of a terrorist hot bed. How bad is it that athletes who have trained their entire lives for this one moment in time have to ask their families to stay how for safety reasons? What the hell was the IOC thinking in granting these games in the first place? Hey, I say the Summer games should be held in Egypt, Syria or Iran next. It makes about as much sense.
Has anyone ever told the IOC, Barack Obama and the State Department that you do not appease bullies, you stand up to them? Terrorists pride themselves upon fear and sadly Obama is showing that he is just that weak.
Olympic Teams From Germany, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia and Slovenia Get Terror Threat Ahead of Sochi Winter Games
Will the Sochi Winter Olympics be terror free or are wee about to see terrorism on a world state in real time with social media 24/7?
Ahead of the Sochi Winter Olympics and with previous video threats of terror acts promised to take place and with Russian authorities on high alert, it is now being reported that teams from Germany, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia and Slovenia have received terror threats not to send their athletes to the games. Authorities are already on the look out for "Black Widow's" and other terrorists ahead of the games. Needless to say, talk about a dicey situation.
The Olympic teams of at least five countries said Wednesday that they had received emails threatening attacks at the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, adding to mounting security fears two weeks before competition begins.
The International Olympic Committee told NBC News that it did not consider the threats credible and said that it appeared to be "a random message from a member of the public."
The Olympic organizing committees of Germany, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia and Slovenia reported getting threats.
According to Zsigmond Nagy, an official of the Hungarian Olympic Committee, he stated the following"I am very pleased to inform everyone that both the IOC and the Sochi organizing committee … declared after the analysis of the letter that this threat is not real," "This person has been sending all kinds of messages to many members of the Olympic family." Hmm, not sure how this individual is so sure.
UPDATE I: The International Olympic Committee said Wednesday that the letter sent to the HOC did not represent any threat to athletes. I guess it all depends on how one defines a threat to athletes. However, the German team described the email as a "terror warning" with words to the effect of "be careful out there in Sochi" and the Italian Olympic Committee described the email as containing "terrorist threats." That sounds much different that the IOC looking to present a positive front.
"The IOC treats security issues very seriously and forwards any reliable information to the security services. However, it appears that in this case, the letter sent to the HOC does not contain any threat," an IOC spokesperson told R-Sport.
The Sochi organizing committee also assessed the letter and said there is no real threat, and that the author has also been sending messages to other countries competing in the Olympics, HOC international relations director Zsigmond Nagy told Reuters.

Urgent Search for the 'Black Widow' Suicide Bomber, Ruzanna Ibragimova in Sochi Ahead of Olympics (Update: As Many as 4 'Black Widows' May be in Sochi)
Be on the look out for the 'Black Widow' in Sochi …
Russian security services and police are looking for Ruzana Ibragimova, the 'Black Widow' suicide bomber, also known as Salima, the 22 year-old widow of an Islamic militant killed by Russian security forces last year.
Russian authorities distributed in pictures of the 'Black Widow,' Ruzana Ibragimova. The posters describe her as having a limp in her right leg, a left arm that does not bend at the elbow and a 4-inch scar on her cheek. It is believed that she may already be in Sochi. Now NBC News is reporting that there may be as many as four "black widows" dispatched to carry out terrorist attacks related to the Winter Olympics. It is believed that these terrorists may have already breached the so-called "ring of steel".
Things that Make You Go Hmm … Just curious, there was discussion ahead of the Olympics that they should be boycotted by the USA because of Russia's laws against gays, yet it sounds like attending the Sochi Olympics is like playing terrorism "Russian" roulette and not a word about not sending athletes for their own protection.
Flyer handed out by Russian Authorities – 'Black Widow' – Ruzanna Ibragimova
Police in Sochi have launched an urgent search for a possible female suicide bomber who may have already made it past the ring of security set up for the Olympic Games.
Hotel employees in Sochi told ABC News that posters with pictures and descriptions of a 22-year-old woman from nearby Dagestan were distributed over the weekend by authorities and a similar flyer was also seen posted at Sochi's airport.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Olympic Committee reacted to the revelation by saying that the safety of Team USA is their "top priority."
"As is always the case, we are working with the U.S. Department of State, the local organizers and the relevant law enforcement agencies in an effort to ensure that our delegation and other Americans traveling to Sochi are safe," spokesperson Patrick Sandusky said.
The woman featured on the wanted posters is identified as Ruzanna Ibragimova, using the nickname Salima, the widow of a militant reportedly killed in a shoot-out with police last year in Dagestan.
She is described as being affiliated with the Caucasus Emirate, the terror group led by Doku Umarov that has threatened attacks against the Winter Games in Sochi.
Ibragimova is described as having a 10 centimeter scar across the left cheek, a pronounced limp, and a stiff left arm that doesn't bend at the elbow.
VIDEO – CNN: Hunt for "black widow" bomber in Sochi.
This announcement comes on the foot-heals of the VIDEO tape received by the two individuals that were terrorist bombers who promised to a "surprise package" to be delivered during the Sochi Winter Olympics. The real question is, are the Olympics safe from terror and how in the hell was Sochi ever given the Olympics in the first place?
Not to worry, Barack Obama thinks that this is just the jayvee.
UPDATE I: Russian police kill Islamist militant leader before Olympics.
Police have killed a senior Islamist militant in a shootout in Russia's North Caucasus ahead of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the National Anti-terror Committee said on Tuesday.
The shooting of Eldar Magatov, a suspect in numerous attacks on Russian targets, at a house where he had taken refuge in the Dagestan region was part of an intensifying security clampdown as the Games approach.

Video Surfaces Threatening Terrorist "Surprise Package" for the Winter Olympics in Sochi … Are the Olympics Safe from Terrorism?
A new video was posted Sunday on a Chechen terrorist extremist web site threatening terror attacks for the upcoming Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia. The video threatens jihad and that, "We'll have a surprise package for you," one of the men said in the militants' video. "And those tourists that will come to you, for them, too, we have a surprise." This comes on the foot-heals of two terrorist bombings in the Russian city of Volgograd. One was a suicide bombing at a train station killing 14, and the other aboard a trolley bus.
Citing a new "surprise package" for Russia and Olympic spectators, Islamist militants in the North Caucasus Sunday launched a new threat to the Sochi Olympics with a purported "martyrdom" video by two suicide bombers who attacked a transit hub 400 miles away.
The video posted on a Chechen extremist site considered a credible platform for militant statements featured two unidentified men before the black flag of jihad and cradling AKMS rifles.
The duo — dressed in street clothes and without the usual trappings of jihadis — casually explained that Russians and those attending the Winter Games next month will not be safe as long as forces sent by President Vladimir Putin occupy the North Caucasus region near Sochi, Russia.
"We'll have a surprise package for you," one of the men said in the militants' video. "And those tourists that will come to you, for them, too, we have a surprise. If it happens [the Olympics], we'll have a surprise for you. This is for all the Muslim blood that is shed every day around the world, be it in Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria, all around the world. This will be our revenge."
The American Thinker asks, Can the Russians pull off a terror-free Olympics? My personal opinion is I sure hope so; however, I have to agree with TAT, I don't trust the Russians to be competent enough either. Also, these Muslim, Islamist, Chechen extremists are highly motivated and off the chain insane when it comes to martyrdom in the name of Allah.
I don't trust the Russians to be competent enough to prevent attacks and protect the Olympics. To me, it's not a question of "if" but "when" an attack will happen. People are willing to die to make Putin look bad. That does not bode well for the safety of tourists or athletes at the games.
The U.S. State Department today urged Americans traveling to the Winter Olympics in Sochi in southern Russia to be "vigilant and exercise good judgment" during the Games because of the continuing terrorist threat to the region.
The Russian government is devoting considerable resources to ensure the Sochi Olympics are safe and incident-free. Large-scale public events such as the Olympics present an attractive target for terrorists, as did the Olympics in Atlanta in 1996. Travelers should expect increased police presence and enhanced security measures in and around the Olympic venues.
Acts of terrorism, including bombings and hostage takings, continue to occur in Russia, particularly in the North Caucasus region. Additionally, between October 15 – December 30, 2013 there were three suicide bombings targeting public transportation in the city of Volgograd, two of which occurred within the same 24-hour period. Other bombings have occurred at Russian government buildings, airports, hotels, tourist sites, markets, entertainment venues, schools, and residential complexes. There have also been large-scale attacks on public transportation including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights.
UPDATE I: Putin pledges stepped up security.
Putin has pledged that visitors to Sochi for the Winter Olympics will be kept safe.
"We will try to make certain that the security measures are not intrusive or too conspicuous, so they are not too noticeable for the athletes, the Olympics' guests or journalists," Putin said, according to the interview transcript.
"But at the same time, we will do our utmost to ensure that they are effective.
UPDATE II: Just curious, how in the hell did Sochi actually get awarded the 2014 Winter Olympics when it was in such a terror rich environment? How does the Olympic comity even contemplate a place like this in a hot bed of terrorism as the location for an Olympics? Sochi is due west of Grozny, Chechnya, and is about a 13 hour drive. Also, the Boston Marathon bombers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the ethnic Chechen brothers lived in Dagestan, which neighbors the Chechnya region in southern Russia. What's there next pick, Iran, Palestine, how about Syria?

Second Suicide Terror Bombing in Less Than 24 Hours in Volgograd Russia Kills 14 People Trolley Bus
Just ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi Russia … What will security be like for the Winter Games?
A second terrorist suicide bomb in Volgograd Russia in less than 24 hours ripped through a trolleybus Monday morning killing 14 and injuring at least 28 people. The bomb detonated in a trolleybus, packed with morning commuters, at about 8:10 a.m. local time and was the second suicide terror attack in less than 24 hours. Just yesterday a suicide bomber at a train station in Volgograd killed at least 14. The latest updated number of deaths fronm the train station is now at 16. As reported at USA Today, no one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing in Volgograd, but it came several months after Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov called for attacks against civilian targets in Russia, including the Sochi Games.
A fatal bomb explosion ripped apart a trolleybus in Volgograd on Monday morning, killing at least 14 people and injuring 28, in the second terrorist attack in the southern Russian city in less than 24 hours.
Several of the wounded, who officials said included a six-month-old infant, are in serious condition.
Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said that investigators believe a male suicide bomber carried out the attack, which he said was linked to another fatal bombing in the city on Sunday afternoon.
Authorities believe the first explosion, which killed 17 people and injured more than 40 at the Volgograd-1 railway station, was also the work of a suicide bomber.
Markin said that remains of both suspected bombers, which were recovered at the scenes, are undergoing DNA testing.
Monday's blast marks the third such attack in Volgograd in two months, and comes just weeks before Russia is due to host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in February in the city of Sochi.
The bomb detonated in a trolleybus, packed with morning commuters, at about 8:10 a.m. (0410 GMT), the Investigative Committee said.
UPDATE I: Successive suicide bombings in Russia kill over 30.
Together more than 30 people were killed in the explosions, putting the city of one million on edge and highlighting the terrorist threat Russia is facing as it prepares to host February's Winter Games in Sochi, President Vladimir Putin's pet project. While terrorists may find it hard to get to the tightly guarded Olympic facilities, the bombings have shown they can hit civilian targets elsewhere in Russia with shocking ease.
Volgograd, located about 650 kilometers (400 miles) northeast of Sochi, serves as a key transport hub for southern Russia, with numerous bus routes linking it to volatile provinces in Russia's North Caucasus, where insurgents have been seeking an Islamic state.

Bomb Explosion at Train station in the Russian City of Volgograd Kills at Least 14 People … Terrorist Suicide Bomber Just 6 Weeks Ahead of Winter Olympics in Sochi
As reported at RIA Novosti, between 13 to 18 people have been killed and up to 40 injured as a bomb blast ripped through a train station Sunday in the Russian city of Volgograd . Russia's National Anti-Terror Committee are saying that preliminary information suggests the blast was caused by a female suicide bomber. This is the second bombing in Volgograd in the past two months and comes less than six weeks ahead of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, located less than 620 miles away. In October, 2013 6 people were killed and 33 injured when a suspected female suicide bomber detonated explosives aboard a Russian bus.
Between 13 and 18 people were killed and up to 50 more were wounded, according to various estimates by Russian officials, by the blast near the metal detectors at the Volgograd-1 train station's front entrance at 12:45 p.m. (8:45 a.m. GMT).
President Vladimir Putin ordered officials to take all necessary measures to help the victims of the blast.
An explosion at a train station in the Russian city of Volgograd killed at least 14 people, including one police officer, the Russian Investigative Committee said on its website Sunday.
The committee said 14 people had been killed and 40 people were injured.
A spokesman for the investigative committee said the bomber used the equivalent of 10 kilograms of TNT.
Video taken from an outside security camera shows a huge fireball inside what appears to be the main entrance followed by a steady trail of smoke coming out shattered windows.
UPDATE I: Russia Fears More Attacks Prior to Sochi Winter Olympics.
