ORANGE, Texas (AP) Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for a Southeast Texas woman, accusing her of violating a probation sentence she had received after a 5-year-old boy she was baby-sitting shot himself with her gun.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday the warrant was issued last week for 19-year-old Melissa Ringhardt after she failed to follow the conditions of her probation.
Authorities believe Ringhardt might be in the Dallas area.
Ringhardt had pleaded guilty to endangering a child, a state jail felony, for the October incident in which 5-year-old John Read shot himself with her handgun while she took a nap. The shooting took place in Vidor, about 90 miles east of Houston.
Ringhardt later told authorities she was high on marijuana the day of the shooting.

T-Mobile getting out of blighty?
No wonder...

1999 Nissan Altima SE 2.4 Liter 4 cylinder from North America
The only thing wrong with the car is squeaky brakes. For some reason that tends to be a defect that a lot of Nissan cars have. However, it only squeaks when the car is cold. After 5 minutes of driving the squeaking stops.
General Comments:
I purchased this vehicle used about a year ago, and it has all the upgrades that a 99 Altima SE could have, plus leather interior.
It has 175,000 miles and I have no issues with the engine. The steering wheel does not shake and it feels a smooth ride.
I also have a manual transmission, and always recommend purchasing a used car with manual transmission, because they last longer.
I am extremely impressed with the reliability that this 99 Altima has, and I am expecting it to go way past 200,000 miles.
My advice is take care of your Nissan and it will take care of you. This car in 1999 was voted JD Power and Assoc Motor Trend car of the year. It's unfortunate that some of you guys had problems with yours. I went shopping for a reliable Japanese car and compared it online with 99 Accords and 99 Camry's. Consumers and car magazines voted 99 Altima higher in reliability than those two, and better value for your buck!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 11th March, 2010

ATLANTA – Drivers got caught in monumental traffic jams and abandoned their cars Wednesday in North Carolina in a replay of what happened in Atlanta just two weeks ago, as another wintry storm across the South iced highways and knocked out electricity to more than a half-million homes and businesses.
While Atlanta's highways were clear – apparently because people learned their lesson and heeded forecasters' unusually dire warnings to stay home – thousands of cars were backed up on the slippery, snow-covered interstates around Raleigh, N.C., and short commutes turned into hourslong journeys.
As the storm glazed the South with snow and freezing rain, it also pushed northward along the Interstate 95 corridor, threatening to bring at least a half-foot of snow today to the already sick-of-winter mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
At least 11 deaths across the South were blamed on the treacherous weather, and nearly 3,300 airline flights nationwide were canceled.
The situation in North Carolina was eerily similar to what happened Jan. 28 in Atlanta: As snow started to fall around midday, everyone left work at the same time, despite warnings from officials to stay home altogether because the storm would move in quickly.
Raleigh city spokeswoman Jayne Kirkpatrick had no estimate of how many vehicles had been abandoned and was unable to say whether motorists might be stranded on the road overnight.
If we find anyone that is stranded that needs water or food or whatever we can do for them, city crews will help, Kirkpatrick said. We hope it won't be too much longer before it's no longer a problem.
Forecasters had warned of a potentially catastrophic storm across the South, with more than an inch of ice possible in places. Snow was also forecast, with up to 3 inches possible in Atlanta overnight and much higher amounts in the Carolinas.
Ice combined with wind gusts up to 30 mph snapped tree limbs and power lines. More than 200,000 homes and businesses lost electricity in Georgia; South Carolina had about 245,000 outages; and North Carolina had around 100,000. Some people could be in the dark for days.
As he did for parts of Georgia, President Barack Obama declared a disaster in South Carolina, opening the way for federal aid. In Myrtle Beach, S.C., palm trees were covered with a thick crust of ice.
For the mid-Atlantic and the Northeast, the heavy weather was the latest in an unending drumbeat of storms that have depleted cities' salt supplies and caused school systems to run out of snow days.
The Raleigh area could get up to 4 inches of snow. Washington, D.C., could see around 8 inches, as could Boston. New York City could receive 6 inches. The Philadelphia area could get a foot or more, and Portland, Maine, may see 8 or 9 inches.
In Atlanta, which was caught badly unprepared by the last storm, area schools announced even before the first drop of sleet fell that they would be closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Many businesses in the corporate capital of the South shut down, too.
Two weeks ago, thousands of children were stranded overnight in schools by less than 3 inches of snow, and countless drivers abandoned their cars after getting stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours.

garlic/ginger and wok cooking
Got my wok from wok.com a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it.
I do note that lots of recipes call for heating up the wok, heating up the oil THEN sliding in the garlic/ginger for a quick 30 seconds then pulling it out. I'm curious as to the rationale behind that.
I can clearly recall one of the big-time TV chefs on Foodnetwork saying that it's best to put the garlic in the oil and heat them up together to release the flavor. Tossing garlic in hot oil basically sears the garlic and seals IN the flavor.
I'd like some thoughts on that... maybe in wok cooking it is different.
nothing seals in flavor. in anything. ever.
tossing garlic in hot oil cooks the garlic and flavors the oil.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Did a Wolfgang Puck recipe last nite. He advocated putting the aromatics in first for 30 seconds, taking them out then putting them back in late in the "game" so to speak. All the others I've done had me leave it in.
I have to admit I love cooking but never used a wok much before. This is a really neat way to cook. Very versatile.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Opps. Actually two more steps: one for taking out the aromatic ingredients like garlic and ginger and another one for adding them back in. Taking them out is not too difficult if you chopped them in large chunks, but very difficult if they are finely minced, so... Wolfgang's method only works in a limited fashion.
It is just different schools of thought of how to incorporate garlic and ginger favor. There are two distinctions of Chinese stir fry. First, almost always the ginger and garlic are minced or cut into very little pieces. Second, an important style of stir frying is done in high heat -- called Bao (read the "Bao" section):
As such, if the minced ginger and garlic are tossed in the wok from the beginning and heated to high heat, then the you will surely burned them by the time of cooking.
Another way out of this is this: heat the cookware (wok) alone, then you can pour the oil and toss the garlic and ginger together with the oil, but you probably should not heat the wok with the oil and the ginger and garlic all together from the beginning.
In summary:
1) Heat the wok with oil --> high temperature --> toss in garlic and ginger
2) Heat the wok alone --> high temperature --> pour oil, and then toss in garlic and ginger a few second later..
Do not:
XXX) Heat the wok with oil and garlic and ginger --> high temperature
re: Chemicalkinetics
Sorry, www.wokshop.com
Tane's store.
She is very helpful. I've recommended her to a bunch of friends.
Removing aromatics after quickly frying in a pre-heated, pre-oiled pan is one way of preventing over-cooking of the garlic and ginger.
Once you get used to your wok -- the amount of time it takes to get it smoking hot, and the time it takes for the heat to recover after you've added a substantial amount of food to it -- you'll start working more and more quickly.
Each dish is different, and calls for adding the garlic and ginger at different times. In some seafood dishes, the garlic and ginger are added at the last minute and just barely heated by the sauce. They aren't exposed to hot oil at all.
You will know, from practice, what kind of flavor you like from a stir-fry. Have fun!
Yup, you have basically your answers covered. High heat, i.e. wok cooking, quick cook of the garlic. The other recipes you've seen from Big Time TV Chefs on Foodnetwork (is there such a thing anymore? I can't even watch that channel anymore but I digress) probably call for a lower heat, and sometimes even a sweat at really low heat.
I'm too lazy to do a put aromatics in and take them out. If it'll overcook then I'll add them in later. Keep in mind a lot of asian cooking involved garlic cooked way past what you see in Western shows when they tell you not to overcook your garlic as it'll turn bitter. Well sometimes the crisp slightly bitter garlic is a featured ingredient. Suon xao toi ot is basically fried breaded porkchops with almost burnt garlic and chilis.
re: deeznuts
>>Big Time TV Chefs on Foodnetwork (is there such a thing anymore? I can't even watch that channel anymore but I digress<<
I miss all the "cooking shows."
I'm not into the "reality" shows they have now.
re: Chemicalkinetics
>>Why? You hate reality and like to live in a dream?<<
I get enough of reality during the day. When I watch TV, I like to be "entertained."
"Reality" shows don't do it for me.
For me cooking takes me out of the "reality" of the day. A way to have fun, enjoy my family and surroundings and get immediate gratification. Can't beat it!!
re: fjs08
The worst part of the reality shows are that they are not reality. Understanding how much fake stuff they are trying to pass to us as reality just turns me off. The reality is so fabricated I just laugh. About the only thing worth watching anymore on Food Network is Good Eats because, well Alton is funny. ICA is decent. Chopped, the cake shows, everything has just turned me off. I started learning cooking by watching Battali, Chiarello, Jaime Oliver, even Emeril, now I'm relegated to watching Saturday PBS shows (which are excellent though). I also watched Chef at Home with Michael Smith on Discovery Home but they got rid of that channel for a Green channel. Which is weird because Food Network Canada still carries his show as well as other good ones.
Also Kylie Kwong was good too. Gone. Sucks. Food Network has turned into MTV.
re: deeznuts
>>Battali, Chiarello, Jaime Oliver, even Emeril,<<
Those plus Wolfgang Puck. I learned a lot from his shows.
They used to have one on at 4am on Friday that I would watch while I was on my treadmill. Now I only see him on the Home Shopping channels hawking his wares.
AB is a hoot.

TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) - A funeral has been held for a 6-year-old southern New Jersey boy who authorities say was accidentally shot dead by a 4-year-old playmate.
Dozens of mourners filled St. Joseph's Church in Toms River on Saturday to remember Brandon Holt.
Neptune's Asbury Park Press newspaper reports green ribbons were tied around nearby trees and many mourners wore green ribbons or green attire to honor Brandon, whose favorite color was green.
Authorities say the boys were playing Monday in their Toms River neighborhood when the 4-year-old got a loaded .22-caliber rifle from his family's home and shot Brandon in the head. Brandon died at a hospital a day later.
No charges have been filed, but the shooting remains under investigation.

The federal government says Sentara Norfolk General Hospital has agreed to pay a $19,920 penalty to settle allegations that it violated hazardous waste regulations.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced the settlement Tuesday. The EPA cited the hospital for violating a federal law governing the proper treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste.
According to the agency, an inspection by federal and state environmental officials determined that Sentara failed to properly label and date containers of chemical waste. Sentara neither admitted nor denied liability.

One thing I'd prefer to say is that car insurance cancellation is a hated experience so if you're doing the proper things as a driver you will not get one. Many people do receive the notice that they've been officially dumped by their particular insurance company and several have to struggle to get added insurance from a cancellation. Low-cost auto insurance rates are frequently hard to get after the cancellation. Knowing the main reasons pertaining to auto insurance cancellations can help drivers prevent sacrificing one of the most crucial privileges accessible.

The lack of press conferences on our second day in Chicago gave us some time to wander around and take photos of all the cars nicely set up on the floor. As expected, there weren't nearly as many debuts as Detroit or L.A., but still plenty of cars that are desktop-worthy. There were the Autobots from the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen including Skids, Mudflap, Bumblebee in both auto and bot forms, plus the new Stingray Concept. From Ford there is the Taurus SHO and Harley Davidson F-150, and Hyundai brought out a trio of Genesis Coupes including the Red Bull-sponsored drift car and the track-oriented R-Spec version. Other highlights included the twentieth anniversary of the Miata, the Nissan Cube, Acura TSX V6, Kia Forte, and the Nissan Cube.

In voting March 11, Kingston Guild members narrowly approved the new contract.
The Journal Register Co.'s second bankruptcy in three years and bullying behavior by the "new" company toward its employees have left many Guild members and local leaders angry, but also resigned.
"This deal was negotiated with a gun to our heads," said Kingston, N.Y., Guild President Patricia Doxsey.
Faced with the threat of losing their jobs, members at the Kingston Daily Freeman followed four Philadelphia Guild units in ratifying new contracts in early March with 21st CMH Acquisition Co.
Two units of the Detroit Guild, the Macomb Daily and Royal Oak Tribune, began meeting with the company as the Guild Reporter went to press.
"Their proposal is a virtual rewriting of the entire Guild contract from top to bottom. They've taken a meat ax to it," Detroit Guild President Lou Mleczko said, describing language to outsource work and eliminate Guild jurisdiction over other jobs.
The next bargaining session in Detroit is set for March 30. If the company refuses to bargain fairly, "It appears we are headed toward a major labor dispute," Mleczko said.
Slight of Hand
JRC last declared bankruptcy in December 2009 and it cost Guild units their pension plans. Last November, the company filed again.
As Guild President Bernie Lunzer puts it, "Bankruptcy shouldn't be a get-out-of-jail-free card."
CWA is providing financial assistance to protect members' rights
in both the bankruptcy court and the collective bargaining process.
JRC is "selling" its assets to 21st CMH, which is expected to take the helm officially at the end of March. In fact, 21st CMH is part of JRC's parent company, Alden Capital. That's led the Guild and other stakeholders to question the authenticity of the bankruptcy and sale.
"It's slight of hand," Lunzer said. "They are essentially selling the company to itself, with only minor modifications in ownership. In the process, they're playing games with workers' lives and their livelihood."
Mleczko describes it as an "alter-ego purchase of JRC by a corporate entity that is really just another arm of Alden."
The new company is refusing the request of the Guild, a CWA print sector unit and two Teamsters units to bargain jointly in Detroit. However, invited by the Guild, leaders of the other units were at the table when the Guild contract was discussed for two days in mid-March.
Jointly, the unions are discussing their options. "The range of things that could happen soon include an advertising and circulation boycott of the newspapers, information picketing, and other related activities," Mleczko said.
In the earlier, high-tension negotiations in Philadelphia and Kingston, Guild leaders managed to keep the company's worst demands at bay.
Still, Kingston is losing 11 positions and at the four Philly-represented papers, the company has reserved the right to cut one job from each unit in the first year of the two-year pacts, leaving everyone nervous.
But the involvement of the Guild contracts committee in Philadelphia was critical to weakening the company's management rights' demands. The core of the contract with regard to workers' rights and their freedom to speak out on workplace issues was maintained.
The papers are the Delaware County Daily Times, the Norristown Times Herald, the Pottstown Mercury and the Trentonian in New Jersey. Except for the Daily Times, where advertising sales representatives face possible commission cuts, the Philadelphia Guild contracts were approved unanimously.
That doesn't mean members were happy about it, Lunzer said. "They were told to take it or leave it, and leaving it would have meant losing their jobs and reapplying for positions with lower pay, higher health care premiums and the uphill battle to negotiate a contract from scratch."
'Nothing to Celebrate'
Doxsey is more blunt, describing a "miserable deal" that her members barely approved.
"There is nothing to celebrate," she said in a public statement. "Although an improvement over what was originally proposed, it eliminates a number of positions, diminishes the Guild's jurisdiction, deprives our members of some of their most basic protections, offers them very little job security for the future and decreases their standard of living. And it is the best deal that we could get given the circumstances."
She said she hopes "the narrow vote result sends a message to 21st CMH Acquisition Co. that the members of the Kingston Newspaper Guild are not easily cowed and that we will be prepared to fight, despite our reduced numbers, any future attempts to weaken our Guild or diminish our working conditions."

Amazon UK pulls Scientology exposé for 'legal reasons'
Amazon UK has barred the sale of a new Scientology exposé penned by a former member of the church's "elite paramilitary group." The British incarnation of the world's most popular etailer is no longer offering The Complex: An Insider Exposes the Covert World of the Church of Scientology, a 318-page tome from John Duignan, who …
why not just burn the books!!?!
Here's a amazing interview of a critic describing what the writer has been through :
But anyway... book banning in 2008: only with scientology...
and these morons still think they control the internet, the media, and the newspapers. lol
I can't wait for the shitstorm. :)
Bookstores have pulled the book too
WHSmith used to have a listing at http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSearch/ProductDetails--9781903582848.html
Foyles and Waterstones are also refusing to take orders now.
Anywhere it can be ordered online? I wasn't going to buy it until now.
Everyone should order a copy from Amazon US
Everyone should order a copy from the US Amazon site where it is listed as "Temporarily out of stock". If they never ship, then it costs you nothing but it looks to them like their decision is costing them money. If enough people order, then it will look like their behavior is costing them a bundle.
SC alert
Am I going to be searched by the Scientology Church just for making a comment?
Yes, I'm that scared about it.
I was not going to buy this...
But I guess I'll have to pick one up now. Seems not to be listed at Amazon.ca so I'll have to use .com
If they hate it this much it must be worth reading!
Ha ha :)
Customers Who Bought The Complex: An Insider Exposes the Covert World of the Church of Scientology Also Bought ...
V For Vendetta Mask
UK citizens have nobody to blame but their collective selves for this.
Can you blame Amazon.co.uk when the UK has such ridiculously loose libel laws?
I think the UK needs to fix up its ridiculously loose libel laws.
UK citizens have nobody to blame but their collective selves for Amazon's fear.
Their extravagant libel laws of the UK are affecting freedom of speech in the USA, Canada, and elsewhere. This because those written about about by authors or on web sites anywhere in the world launch their libel suits against those authors in the UK if the book or web page is accessible in the UK. In this way the complainant can have the UK's ridiculously loose libel laws apply to authors anywhere.
Sensibly, Amazon doesn't want to be a party to facilitating distributing this book in the UK. Cowardly, but law abiding.
Don't blame Amazon.co.uk for the UK's lack of freedom of speech. Instead write your MP.
The TRUTH is out there...
Do they really think they will be able to stop, the spread of information and truth from getting out. They just don't get IT!Every move they make just creates more enemies, they are truly on a self destructive course. Their world domination UFO Cult is crashing in around them.
Scientology is a totalitarian political movement disguised as a criminal racket disguised as a cult parading as a religion hiding behind 166+ front groups.
A loophole
It can still be bought inside Ireland ( http://www.eason.ie/look/9781903582848 ) and shipped abroad.
Silly Cult
How to buy the book
In my limited experience I've found publishers are happy to sell single copies directly to the public.
If you want to buy the "The Complex: An Insider Exposes the Covert World of the Church of Scientology", here is the publisher's info:
Merlin Publishing
phone: +35314535866
fax: +35314535930
Newmarket Hall, Cork Street, Dublin 8, Dublin, Dublin 8
Item number: 5822
I'm of half a mind to buy a copy of the book too. Just to financially support the author and publisher!
More than one way to skin a scientologist
If enough outlets blocked this and I was John Duignan, I would release it as a PDF on the P2P network. Spam enough forums with links and it would start to move.
First Scientology, then all religion
Keep up the fight, Scientology will die with enough effort and education.
Then we will have the experience and know-how to finish the job, to kill off all religions and end the millenia of destruction they have wrought on mankind.
@Joe Anon
> Scientology is a totalitarian political movement disguised as a criminal racket disguised as a cult parading as a religion hiding behind 166+ front groups.
Surely you mean over 9000? But yeah, totally.
A title really shouldn't be needed...
and if the 'church' hadn't made such a fuss about this, I wouldn't have just ordered a copy.
Many thanks to Anonymous for letting us know about the www.eason.ie site
Scientology is a Cult , now lets see....
How long this stays up ,LOL. Its amazing how many organisations the Cult of Scientologists
have permeated and I wonder if they have got at the Reg yet ?.
anybody home?
Scientology a "top secret organisation"? You guys must be kidding or extremely blind. Scientology is really hard to miss, in real life as well as online. And as for the book I applaud Amazon to check with their legal people first before they go and spread "truths" they cannot prove.
What is the deal with Sientenology anyways?
@By Keith T
Dear boy, I would note "write my MP," but rather "write to my MP." I know, I know...
...and by publishing a book, how could Amazon be liable to libel? If that were the case, I'm sure someone else would have taken them to court by now, and, I think the Illuminati, I mean, CoS would have to prove libel, which given their nature for secrecy seems somewhat unlikely. What!
Lovely story though, and, if nothing else, what a marvellous advertising technique.
Just Bought it thanks!
Just bought it off the Eason site - thanks for the info.
If the silly cults want to ban it, then like others have said, it'll be worth having a look.
I just don't understand how anyone with an ounce of sense can possibly get hooked up with an "religion" invented by a sci-fi writer, and then actually give them money.
There is no mothership you dumb cults!
@Ken Lord
I don't think Scientology is going to go away but it's possible that with enough oversight and enough pressure it could mutate into a less obviously evil form.
As to freeing ourselves from all religions? I'm not so completely convinced that this would necessarily either achieve much or be a good thing. I'm arguably as atheistic as Dawkins, but... The evil wrought in the name of religion has been wrought by the stupid and unwise, the easily led, animals in human form, and political opportunists; ie the fallible. This accounts for much of the human race; not counting Bertrand Russell and SImon Schama (the cleverest man in Britain; at least by my father's lights).
Just a thought.
Disgusting "churh"
But are they not basically all about the same thing, power and money.
No, that is bad thinking and my mean soul. There was a time when the church and all flavours of religion had a very needed and strong inpact on us and our society. But that was then.
And now, if something like Scientology attracts people it only shows that part of us is sliding back down, and that the church has been burocracied, used to easy money and lost its sting.
To day we need the church for awfull things like getting rid of dead people without stumbling and feeling stupid. Priests do it better and the venue is more impressive.
The same goes for weddings and all kinds of state circus happenings.
So there is a lot of room for all kinds of new scum to fill the vacum and collect loose money and pray about power.
I have not read the book, but I do wonder, do thay actually have any other goals than money and the ego of the insiders.
Headhuntig perhaps, Butin, Berluschoni (or what ever), just kidding, I hope.
On the other hand they have some scalps already like the Tomb Cruiser.
seem to still be accepting orders.
Xenu wouldn't insist on a title
The Co$ is about as evil as they come.
Anything that helps to expose their curse and fakery is welcome.
Since the Co$ shills have given the book the 'must ban' rating, I'm now going to buy the book.
There's really no higher recommendation.
It's sad that Amazon lets itself be intimidated by Scientology (lawyers). There are enough books on any type of religion but almost none (critical, that is) on Scientology. It makes you think they have something to hide. But ... a religion that has to stop people from voicing their opinion? Even the really extremist religions allow you to be critical about them (as long as you don't accompany the criticism with pictures of certain prophets) but nothing can touch Scientology?
Mine is the one putting a copy of the book in your jacket.
" Scientology a "top secret organisation"? "
I believe the author is referring to the massively paranoid secrecy practised inside the organisation, i.e. it isn't secret, it's secretive, rather than any notion that nobody has heard of them. Of course, as a "member" of the CoS, you knew that didn't you?
While I'm here, I do wish people would stop referring to it as a religion. It's a money-making con act which uses cult practices to maintain control over its victims.
I just wish the UK would grow a pair and ban it like Germany has.
@Ze Stuart
"...and by publishing a book, how could Amazon be liable to libel?"
IANAL, but UK libel laws allow for action against anyone involved in the chain of spreading the libel. This means that newspapers can't hide behind "close friends said it, we're just reporting what they said".
It also means that the corner shop can be sued for selling a newspaper that contains libel. As they don't tend to have deep pockets they don't tend to get sued that much.
Yep, let's order it, make it a best-seller...
...unless, of course, this is a cunning sales stunt.
Still wonder to this day why a sci-fi-based tax-dodge is still taken this seriously by its adherents. I mean, am I right in having gathered that it's basically about alien-being Thetans, trapped in volcanoes by hydrogen bombs? Seriously?
(Also, why hydrogen bombs in particular? What's wrong with basic atomic bombs? Or more hi-spec nuclear / neutron? Is there some kind of specific blast yield that only hydrogen bombs can deliver? Confused.)
Black helicopter because I think black helicopters are cool. No other reason.
Thanks SC!
If you hadn't banned it, I'd never have heard about it!
Never heard of it....
but will have to buy it now!
Can you blame Amazon.co.uk when the UK has such ridiculously loose libel laws?
Err... A bookshop can't be held responsible for libels in the content of the books.
It's more likely the publisher has come under pressure and has stopped the print run.
>...and by publishing a book, how could Amazon be liable to libel?
It isn't and Amazon doesn't publish the book, they're just a bookshop.
Just ordered my copy, should be a good read, and then I'll stick it on ebay - or maybe Amazon ;-)
And then go underground.
Used to pass a Scientology tent in central Birmingham every day a couple of years ago when they were on a recruitment drive, and they never gave up trying to get me in 'for a chat'.
No chance, I'm an atheist through and through, and deeply mistrust religion - or, more specifically, anybody actively pushing religion.
The Amazon Cult
'fulfilment centres' 'fulfiment networks'? Amazon sounds just like a cult too.
Cult of Greed
Only in America, worship of the mighty dollar. Oh, and Xenu.
Check this out for another fascinating insight into the Sea Organisation from a former brainwashing victim:
/could even Paris be stupid enough to join these morons?
Sitting on the Lu
@Lu - Amazon can still sell it. If there is libel in it then the author can be sued for that. Anyway, what with your thinly veiled defence of the cult you must be some little monkey working away for the betterment of the cult. Oh, and did I mention it's a cult? It's a cult you know.
Keith T is correct. The libel laws in the UK and the way they can be applied has prevented many books from being published or available.
No title
Foyles still accepts orders for this book, they only say 'the delivery time is uncertain' - according to their site most likely one to three weeks. I just ordered and will remind them regularly that delivery is still outstanding ;-)
@Lu - anybody home?
Actually The Cult of Scientology itself is not a top secret organistion, but they might have some inside operations they don't like the general public to know about. But this probably is true for the Catholic Cult or any other ruthless money making machine as well.....
Two Words
Streissand Effect.
Can you smell rotting flesh?
Like any PoS CoS story, this comment board is attracting the Cult Zombies! They're shuffling over like moths to a flame to offer seemingly impartial and balancing opinions; but an obvious lack of the geeky-cleverz gives the game away.
Quick, nail the door and get the shotguns!
"calling scientology a religion is like calling Dunkin' Donuts a restaurant"
Every group gets a bashing
I think they take themselves way too seriously, and they are actually creating a cult like feel to them.
Sure they do some odd things, but it is closer to the masons, and other groups of that ilk, not particularly harmful or even that esoteric, I am sure the masons are a bit more racey.
But, if you go round banning every book that says something non complimentary you generate far more negative press than the books could ever do.
They are odd, but look around most groups are, take synchronised swimming or the girl guides all kinda odd when you think about what they have to do to conform; weird leg movements in some fluid at the same time, and odd shaped toggles - bunch of weirdos the lot of them.
Are accepting orders online with a wait period due to stock (just ordered one, £9.49, c2wks wait) and still have it on the shelves of some stores, so it looks like they're not (yet) following Amazon's lead.

Comments are now suspended. Anyone failing to heed this notice will see their budgie meeting a nasty accident.
Scientology is a cult
Scientology is a cult.
My two cents.
waterstones just took my order, although maybe the email confirmation will say differently
Does the Pope care about souls going to Heaven or Hell? Probably in some sense.
Does the Archbishop of Canterbury care about souls living good lives? Certainly
Does the Dalai Lama want souls to achieve enlightenment? Presumably
Did Jones actually believe in "Revolutionary Suicide"? Would appear so
Does Claude Vorilhon aka Raël really believe he met an alien named Yahweh in 1973? Yes, poor guy,
Do David Miscavige and his handlers and senior cronies believe anything about Scientology other than it being a bloody good con that they're not about to give up? You're kidding, right.
Simple solution to scientology
Stop making religious organisations tax free!!
I'm not sure if they have actually achieved the status yet, but even if they are, being a religion is not excuse for not having to pay tax.
Scientologists? Pah... Blaintology is where its at
I have nothing to add, except to those who might want a copy.
Try Blackwells
<I can hear Travolta and Cruise in the approaching 'copters...>
no go with the publisher
I just called the publisher to try and order a copy, but they will not supply the book to the UK
Hypocrisy Anyone?
Am I the only one to notice how many people are lambasting Amazon for not standing up to the Scientologists, yet they seem unable to post their names to go along with their comments?
I happily await the arrival of my copy (please don't let me down Waterstones - I'm a new customer!).
For those of you new to these debates about Scientology and it's beliefs, the best source of education is of course South Park - the "Trapped In The Closet" episode. It's out there on the Interoogle and is funny on several levels. There's also a South Park "Blainetology" expose, but that is just a fantasy religion based on the imagination of a crazy outsider for his own profit, whereas Scientology on the other hand, err......

Political and religious leaders worldwide have marked Christmas Day by calling for peace and reconciliation in conflicts across the globe.
Pope Benedict delivered a Christmas Day address from a balcony at St. Peter's Basilica and said he hopes the celebration of Christ's birth will bring consolation to people who, in his words, "live in the darkness of poverty, injustice and war."
In Iraq, a recent drop in violence allowed thousands of Christians to celebrate in their churches. However, the traditional Midnight Mass in Baghdad was held in the middle of the afternoon on Christmas Eve because it's still considered too dangerous for large groups to gather at night.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, recent peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians prompted a large increase in Christians making the pilgrimage to Bethlehem.
Western leaders also celebrated the holiday. Queen Elizabeth urged the British to think of the needs of the poor. President Bush spent Christmas at Camp David with his extended family. He leaves today for a holiday break at his ranch in Texas.

American sovereignty is today more challenged than ever before, not from enemies that threaten us militarily but from "friends" who urge that we share or reduce our sovereignty for larger global objectives. How Barack Obama is Endangering our National Sovereignty reveals what sovereignty means to Americans, not as an abstraction but a vibrant component of self government, what the threats are to that sovereignty from "global governance,†and how President Barack Obama looks at these issues. Former Ambassador to the U.N. John R. Bolton looks at specific threats to U.S. sovereignty and recommends what Americans can do to defend their sovereignty and resist encroachments from the wide array of challenges we face, internationally and in our own domestic pol

A word from Gravy
Ask any Italian-American what 'gravy' is, and they'll tell you it's the pasta sauce that their mothers and grandmothers cooked fresh every night. At Gravy Restaurant we take the same care, preparing our signature sauce every day using select tomatoes and locally grown herbs. The heart and soul poured into the preparation of traditional Italian-American dishes pairs with inspired modern twists and a focus on seasonal ingredients to define Gravy's unique approach to this classic cuisine.Continued

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014The food was excellent, as was the service. We will definitely be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The food and service were great.MichVIPDined on 11/20/2014The food and service were great. However, open table showed this as a 1000 point restaurant for the time we selected for our reservation. But when it registered my points it showed only 100. I sent open table a note to fix this. Buyer beware!! I will be very disappointed if the error isn't corrected. We have been to Gravy many times. I'd hate to not return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerBeckybdaydinnerDined on 11/18/2014Gravy has awesome food! My friends and I love to get a bottle of wine with our entree of choice! Great food and great staff!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Brunch!KanEatDined on 11/16/2014We visited Gravy for Sunday brunch and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The bacon was the highlight so be sure to order the bacon! This restaurant does a really nice job with items made in house. We were a party of four and all of our orders were delicious with fresh ingredients being the foundation of each plate. Our only concern was with the coffee. It is served in a french press, which is nice, but you do pay a premium price for it. I would prefer a simpler option at a more moderate price. We are hoping to return to Gravy to try their dinner menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it!EmmyDined on 11/8/2014We loved gravy! The kale Cesar salad was delicious as was the bolognese! We will definitely be going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food!Luv2dineDined on 11/8/2014Our first visit to Gravy (dinner) and we will return with friends. Like most of the downtown restaurants it is noisy. I wish all the restaurants in these old buildings would install a baffling system to reduce noise. Everyone is talking loudly because there is nothing to absorb the noise. Gravy is not as noisy as some of the others and I did notice some type of what looked to be a noise reduction system on the ceiling, but it needs a little more help in that area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slower service than expectedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/6/2014We were having a business lunch and the restaurant was not busy at all, which was nice for being able to hear each other. And I am all about having plenty of time to talk & not being rushed by a server. However the service was particularly slow for the few number of diners in the restaurant...then I saw several servers and other employees getting served lunch at the bar while we continued to wait for nearly 30 minutes. My experience would make me think twice about going back for a work lunch unless I have at least 90 minutes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nicely doneSuburban600b3rDined on 11/5/2014Attentive service, delicious libations, flavorful food, a meal and experience well enjoyed...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Alexandria foodieAlexFoodieVIPDined on 11/3/2014Gravy is a new favorite in Raleigh! I look forward to returning and trying other great menu items.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014Our meal was very freshly prepared and well flavored and our service was absolutely excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious, just delicioustamtamDined on 10/28/2014We had Gnudi, ragu, and spicy sausage gravy. All were superb. Appreciated the waiter's honesty when asked about the best choices. Highly recommended!Special Features:
- Good not greatJamesVIPDined on 10/26/2014After living in DC and NYC for a decade, I've found the bar for Italian restaurants much lower in Carolina. Gravy isn't bad, but it's also not any better than Macaroni Grill. The kale caesar salad was probably the most interestimg part of the meal. The chicken parmesian was pretty standard.
- Good but not exceptionalHRGalDined on 10/26/2014When one thinks of gravy i envision a crusty loaf of bread to scoop the remaining sauce from my plate. Not the case here. With such a good bakery in town theres an opportunity much missed. Broccoli is tender broccoli not the heads of a mature bunch partially blanched with lemon juice and finally the dessert was stale. Sorry gravy it was a much anticipated trip that left us empty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun Date NightAshevilliantakesonRaleighDined on 10/24/2014Went for our anniversary dinner, we started very wonderful cocktails, then we split the risotto balls as our appetizer, they were amazing! We both had one of their pasta dishes and both were so very tasty and large servings. All there pasta is house made and you can tell, it's some of the best italian style pasta dishes I've ever had. Then for dessert we had the Budino, it stole the show, very tasty! Overall a great experience and I will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Can't Wait to Come BackdatenightduoDined on 10/24/2014This was our first time having dinner at Gravy. We had been to the restaurant for lunch about six months ago when I was interviewing prior to moving here from Florida. We "re-discovered" the restaurant during a walk-about to explore the downtown area and made reservations for the following Friday night. The food was superb, the staff even better. A special thanks to Trisha (our server) for assisting with the wine selection. This may have been our first time having dinner at Gravy, but it most definitely will not be our last.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find - loved it!!!deeluv2Dined on 10/23/2014This our first visit to Gravy's and we loved it. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food Just OKpjandpjDined on 10/20/2014We split the kale salad and the minestro soup and both were excellent. The main courses were not so good. My wife had the bolognese which was tasteless and dry. It certainly didn't have rich full taste we are are accustomed to. I had the orecchiette and sausage and it was poorly prepared. When they cooked the orecchiette they failed to stir the pot so the pasta was stuck together in several layers. The homemade sausage on the other hand was excellent. With the exception of the sausage the dish was tasteless as well. In retrospect I should returned the dish because of the pasta.
- excellentJeanieDined on 10/18/2014Had a wonderful dinner. Great service and delicious meal. If you like Italian, this is your go to place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Refreshing findDirkinRaleighDined on 10/17/2014We found Gravy by googling, and saw that it had great reviews. They're open until 11pm, so it's good for a later dinner as well. The calamari appetizer was fantastic. I had the chicken a la matone, delicious if a bit too much oil (seasoning was very tasty). My wife had the family gravy, good meats but the sauce was just tomato, could do with more basil and garlic. It just lacked flavor. The evening's winner was my daughter's chicken parmigiana. The breeding was light and crispy, meat cooked to perfection and cheese melted overt the top (she asked for the gravy on the side). Desert was the marscapone cheesecake, ice cream sandwich and tiramisu. I would recommend Gravy, it's well above average.Special Features:
- Very EnjoyablePKfoodieVIPDined on 10/17/2014Dined here for the first time with my husband and daughter. We got there about 20 minutes before our reservation, but they were able to seat us right away. It did take a little too long for any wait staff to check in on us, but not so long we got mad. The wine, beer and bar selections were very good. Our food was excellent. We would definitely go back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not ImpresseddinnerdawgDined on 10/12/2014Unfortunately we did not have a very good experience this past Sunday for brunch. We ordered the donuts and they were still cold in the middle when they brought them back they were now oil soaked about halfway thru. After that we decided not to eat anything else paid our over priced bill and left. The one thing I do want to say is we did have good service.
- Great timeTheCarterEatsDined on 9/30/2014Server was friendly and we never felt over or under served. Great weeknight out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simple, tasty foodJaneDined on 9/26/2014Gravy isn't the largest restaurant ever but for the amazingly, simplistic menu of food, it's quite delightful and worth it to be crammed in together. They have a nice Italian wine list, however, mostly bottle options and other cocktails of choice. Definitely a great place for a romantic dinner or to catch up with a few friends.Special Features:
- Decentlumonsta1Dined on 9/24/2014The garlic knots they brought as our complimentary bread were very good! I went with friends, and one got the ravioli, one got an eggplant dish, one got the lasagna, and I got the strozzapreti with Italian sausage. All were "decent" in my opinion. I thought my sausage would have been sliced and not ground, so essentially it tasted like spaghetti with odd noodles. There were also no olives in mine, as the menu said, and the "gravy" was very minimal. All in all the meal was good, but it seemed like I could make everything easily at home for much less money. I had heard great things about this place and was slightly disappointed.Special Features:
- Don't Get Take OutDissapointedDined on 9/24/2014Had a wonderful meal with a friend but when ordered the same meal I had a the restaurant for take out (and paid the same price), they gave me half the serving i had in the restaurant.
- Like my Nonna was in the kitchenluvs2eatDined on 9/22/2014This place never fails to please! I could just order the caprese salad and the risotto balls and make it a meal! Both are wonderful. The heirloom tomatoes in the caprese are incredible, seasoned just right, fresh mozzarella has some substance to it and the whole thing is big enough to share! The "gravy" is just like my Sicilian Nonna made, loose, flavorful, and robust. Everything on the menu is well executed. The herb roasted chicken is moist, tender, and has just right char. The Family gravy is my favorite... all the good stuff, meatball, sausage, short rib and penne...yum.....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great EveningShellGrayDined on 9/20/2014Celebrated our anniversary and met up with friends. Food was fantastic, wine choice, made by bartender was great, service was great, I never have a bad experience at Gravy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sat lunchPickydiners2Dined on 9/20/2014Food was only OK, with one of our meals not good at all; did not eat it.
- Excellent food,informal environmentDonzerDined on 9/17/2014Rice balls, calamari, ravioli, canelloni were excellent. Informal atmosphere. We would definitely like to return and try additional menu itemsI would recommend this to a friend.
- A favorite place to eat!latenightdinerDined on 9/14/2014Due to late work schedules (yes, even on the weekends) we needed to find a restaurant where we could still get seated at 9 pm on a Sunday evening. Gravy is one of the few open that late. However, every time I have been there, the food has been great and the service excellent, in spite of us being there so late. My hat's off to the staff!Special Features:
- Raleigh's little ItalyNomNomDined on 9/13/2014The food was phenomenal!! Perfect location and noisy at all. Definitely going back for the risotto balls!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty!buck238Dined on 9/10/2014Have been wanting to try Gravy for a while, finally got to go on my birthday. The garlic knots pre-meal were really good and the eggplant pie was delicious! Will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday dinnerNikkiDDined on 9/6/2014This was our first time at Gravy, and we were celebrating my birthday. Everything was wonderful, from the service to the food! I had the bolognese and it was delicious. It is clear the chef has a great understanding of Italian food and culture. I would highly recommend spending a night here with loved ones!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- firestorm126Dined on 8/24/2014We went during Raleigh Restaurant week since we'd been wanting to go for awhile. Everything was very good!Special Features:
- Lacking Good Italian Food & ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014We visited during DTL Restaurant Week which we always use as a method to try new restaurants in the area. I think this is a great opportunity for restaurants to bring in new clientele and wow them with service to bring in new business. Gravy certainly did not do that! We sat in the cellar area. Our server lacked energy and enthusiasm and almost seemed annoyed to be at work. He neglected to mention anything about the regular menu, restaurant week menu or even try to suggest wine, beer etc. To me, service makes a restaurant experience and this was severely lacking at Gravy. There were multiple occasions where our water glasses stood empty. The lasagna was very salty and the chicken pesto was swimming in oil and lacked any flavor dimension.
- Great foodbrightdiverVIPDined on 8/24/2014Just love the food and service. Eggplant pie is fabulous. Came during restaurant week and was delighted.Special Features:
- Wonderful Birthday DinnersdreeseDined on 8/24/2014I chose to have my birthday dinner with my family at Gravy. It was amazing! The best calamari I have ever eaten. It melts in your mouth. Their gravy is delicious with a deep tomato and garlic flavor with just the right amount of spice. I love their lasagna and this was not the first time I have eaten it, it's why I came back to Gravy. You can't go wrong. Wine list is great, I didn't have wine this time but have in past visits. I find that the wine choices pair very well with the food. Our server was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. My son is lactose intolerant and she was happy to make sure his choices were adjusted for his needs. Such a great neighborhood place that is upscale enough for foodies and professionals.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinearoundVIPDined on 8/23/2014Intimate local restaurant. The service was attentive and well versed on menu items.Delicious cuisine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Babies need to go to the doctor or nurse for a "well-baby visit" 6 times during their first year. A well-baby visit is when you take your baby to the doctor for a full checkup to make sure he is healthy and developing normally. This is different from other visits for sickness or injury.

At a well-baby visit, the doctor or nurse can help catch any problems early, when they may be easier to treat. You will also have a chance to ask any questions you have about caring for your baby.

Make the most of your baby's visit by:

Gathering important information

Making a list of questions for the doctor

Knowing what to expect from the visit

What about cost?
Well-baby visits are covered under the Affordable Care Act. Depending on your insurance plan, your baby may be able to get well-baby checkups at no cost to you. Check with your insurance provider.

How often do I need to take my baby for well-baby visits?
Babies need to see the doctor or nurse 6 times during their first year. Your baby is growing and changing quickly, so regular visits are important.

The first well-baby visit is 2 to 3 days after coming home from the hospital, when the baby is about 3 to 5 days old. After that first visit, babies need to see the doctor or nurse when they are:

1 month old

2 months old

4 months old

6 months old

9 months old

If you are worried about your baby's health, don't wait until the next scheduled visit – call the doctor or nurse right away.

How do I know if my baby is growing and developing on schedule?
Your baby's doctor or nurse can help you identify "developmental milestones," the new skills that children usually develop by a certain age. These include physical, mental, language, and social skills.

Each baby grows and develops differently. For example, some babies will crawl earlier than others.

At each visit, the doctor or nurse will look for some basic developmental milestones to see if your baby is developing on schedule. This is an important part of the well-baby visit.

By age 1 month, most babies:

Are gaining weight and growing

Have a strong sucking reflex

React to sounds

Move their arms and legs symmetrically (the same way on both sides)

By age 2 months, most babies:

Lift their head when lying on their stomach

Begin to look at close objects and people's faces

Bring their hands to their mouth

Make cooing sounds

Smile at people

See a complete list of developmental milestones for kids age 2 months.

By age 4 months, most babies:

Roll over from their stomach to their back

Reach for, grab, and hold toys

Have different cries for different feelings (hungry, cranky, uncomfortable)

Start babbling

Recognize a parent's voice or touch

Copy some facial expressions and sounds

See a complete list of developmental milestones for kids age 4 months.

By age 6 months, most babies:

Begin to sit without support

Roll over in both directions (from stomach to back and from back to stomach)

Start teething

Sleep for 6 to 8 hours a night without waking up

Respond to their own name

Show interest in and reach for objects

Begin to know if someone is a stranger

Like to look at themselves in a mirror

See a complete list of developmental milestones for kids age 6 months.

By age 9 months, most babies:

Crawl

Sit for a long time without support

Feed themselves with their fingers

Throw and shake toys

Have favorite toys

Understand the word "no"

Wave bye-bye

Play games like peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake

See a complete list of developmental milestones for kids age 9 months.

Remember, each baby develops a little differently. If you are concerned about your child's growth and development, talk to your baby's doctor or nurse. Learn more about newborn and infant development.
 Take Action! Make a list of any important changes in your baby's life since the last doctor's visit.
Take these steps to help you and your baby get the most out of well-baby visits to the doctor.

Gather important information.
Take any medical records you have to the appointment, including a record of shots your baby has received and results from newborn screenings. Make a list of any important changes in your baby's life since the last doctor's visit, like:

Being sick

Falling or getting injured

Starting daycare or getting a new caregiver

Use this tool to keep track of your baby's family health history.

Make a list of questions to ask the doctor.
Write down 3 to 5 questions before the well-baby visit. Each well-baby visit is a great time to ask the doctor or nurse any questions about:

How your baby is growing and developing

How your baby is sleeping

Breastfeeding your baby

When and how to start giving your baby solid foods

What changes and behaviors to expect in the coming months

How to make sure your home is safe for a growing baby

Here are some questions you may want to ask:

Is my baby up to date on shots?

How can I make sure my baby is getting enough to eat?

Is my baby at a healthy weight?

How can I make sure my baby is sleeping safely – and getting enough sleep?

How can I help my baby develop speech and language skills?

Is it okay for my baby to watch TV?

How do I clean my baby's teeth?

Take a notepad and write down the answers so you can remember them later.

Know what to expect.
During each well-baby visit, the doctor or nurse will ask you about your baby and do a physical exam. The doctor or nurse will then update your baby's medical history with all of this information.

The doctor or nurse will ask questions about your baby.
The doctor or nurse may ask about:

Behavior – Does your baby copy your movements and sounds?

Health – How many diapers does your baby wet each day? Does your baby spend time around people who are smoking?

Safety – If you live in an older home, has it been inspected for lead? Do you have a safe car seat for your baby?

Activities – Does your baby try to roll over? How often do you read to your baby?

Eating habits – How often does your baby eat each day? How are you feeding your baby?

Family – Do you have any worries about being a parent? Who can you count on to help you take care of your baby?

Your answers to questions like these will help the doctor or nurse make sure your baby is healthy. See what else the doctor may ask when your baby is:

1 month old [PDF - 246 KB]

2 months old [PDF - 250 KB]

4 months old [PDF - 250 KB]

6 months old [PDF - 250 KB]

9 months old [PDF - 246 KB]

The doctor or nurse will also check your baby's body.
To check your baby's body, the doctor or nurse will:

Measure height, weight, and the size of your baby's head

Take your baby's temperature

Check your baby's eyes and hearing

Check your child's body parts – this is called a physical exam

Give needed shots

Find out more about what to expect at your baby's
well-baby visit.

Know what to do if your baby gets sick.
Make sure you know how to get in touch with a doctor or nurse when the office is closed. Ask how to reach the doctor on call, or if there's a nurse information service you can call at night or on the weekend.
