Corbett Patriot Revisited6 Comment
Corbett Motor Cars, Corbett Patriot | Tue, 15 May 2012 Posted by : Donnie
I was just searching through youtube and came across this cheesy 10 minute promo vehicle for the Corbett Patriot. It was one of my favorite kits of the time.
Do you have a kit of that time period that you wished you owned right now?

Corbett Patriot, Video | Tue, 03 Feb 2009 Posted by : Shannon Larratt
Robert and Bats both wrote in asking what ever happened to the Corbett Patriot, a Wraith-like car built by Adrian Corbett, who'd previously sold a somewhat questionable copy of the Countach for the VW Beetle. The Patriot was a radical rebody for the Fiero that sold for $16,995. The question I have, is this another wild car that never made it past the prototype stage? Or are there a few of these rotting away in barns, waiting for restoration?

Sheila Marie Ryan Caan, 60, dated Elvis, Beatty, Stallone, married James Caan
BY MAUREEN O'DONNELL Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com September 24, 2012 11:28PM
Sheila Marie Caan and James Caan
Article Extras
Updated: October 26, 2012 2:19PM
Sheila Ryan Caan grew up in Franklin Park, but spent her final days surrounded by Hawaiian flowers.
Her son, actor Scott Caan, filled her hospital room with blooms from the islands where he films TV's "Hawaii Five-O."
She died of cancer Sept. 18 at her home in Canoga Park, Calif., a day after her 60th birthday.
Back when she was attending East Leyden High School in Franklin Park, her fresh-faced, blond sheen made boys fall silent when she entered a room.
It was no different when she moved out West.
Elvis Presley spotted her in the audience at one of his shows. They dated seriously for a few years.
She met and married actor James Caan around the time his turn as the volcanic Sonny Corleone in "The Godfather" made women's hearts race.
She also dated Warren Beatty and Sylvester Stallone.
Friends remember her as a strong mother who encouraged Scott Caan to get involved in acting, to keep him on the right path. She also appeared countless times in "Welcome Home, Soldier," a play at North Hollywood's Playhouse West that became something of a therapy session for Vietnam veterans.
"The first Vietnam veteran that attended, who kind of started the word among the community, he gave out mementoes like [his service] medals to the cast," said Robert Carnegie, who co-founded the school and repertory theater with Jeff Goldblum.
Playhouse West has mounted the show for 21 years, several times a year, he said.
"It was an ensemble piece and she played many roles, always the wife of a Vietnam veteran, dealing with the difficulties," he said. A young Ashley Judd was one of her co-stars in the early productions, he said.
She was born in Melrose Park and attended East Leyden High. She liked hanging around a Franklin Park restaurant, the Owl, at Grand and Scott.
"She could walk into the room and all the men in the room would fall in love with her," said a high school friend, Diane Zurba. "She was so sweet and pretty and kind."
After her 1971 graduation, the young Sheila Marie Ryan headed to California. "She just drove out there in a used Volvo," Zurba said.
In October of 1973, she appeared on the cover of Playboy.
"Elvis spotted her in the audience in Vegas, and I believe she dated and lived with him for two years," Zurba said.
"She said he was the most generous man she ever met," Zurba said. "He paid off her mother's house in Franklin Park."
They were often photographed together in the flip-do'ed finery of the time. Later, after Elvis' 1977 death, she would be questioned at a hearing of the Tennessee State Medical Board, where she said she knew he frequently received sleeping pills.
Elvis fans watched his romances like Kremlinologists. Thirty-five years after his death, they still discuss those girlfriends online. In concerts, he often dedicated "And I Love You So" to Sheila Caan, according to the www.elvis.com.au website.
In an interview with the website, Sheila Caan said she and Tennessee pageant queen Linda Thompson were "neck and neck" for Elvis' affections, for a while.
"And then, you know, there was myself and then Linda Thompson and we were sort of you know, running the race and we were, at first, you know, he was seeing her and then I came along and then it was sort of like a horserace, you know. We were neck and neck and then I fell behind," she said.
She once told Hollywood gossip Janet Charlton that Elvis loved "Pink Panther" movies — and that he was proud of his "webbed" toes.
Then, "She met James Caan at the Playboy Mansion and immediately fell in love," Zurba said.
They wed in January 1976. The tempestuous marriage ended by December of that same year, but they co-parented their son, Scott.
"He took such good care of his mother," Zurba said.
He flew in to visit her during every break in filming, and sent her exotic blooms from Hawaii that perfumed her room, she said.
"She was a dedicated, compassionate, serious mother who did everything she could for her son," said Carnegie. She sent him to Playhouse West to give him direction, he said. "Scott flourished here in our environment, and he's still there to this day, coming in at one time or another to teach," Carnegie said.
In addition to the reboot of "Hawaii Five-O," he has been featured in TV's "Entourage" and the "Ocean's 11" franchise.
She was buried Saturday atop a hill at Oakwood Memorial Park in Chatsworth, Calif., Zurba said. Before she died, "We reminisced and reminisced and made a lot of plans. We were going to go to Graceland."
She is also survived by her mother, Arlene; her sisters, Vicky Ryan Binetti, Valerie Scott and Gerri Carroll, and her brother, Michael Ryan.
Judging from her Guestbook on legacy.com, she was a favorite of Elvis fans. One wrote, "You can now BE with both KINGS."

When someone moves to the Philippines, or to other 3rd world countries, it is almost an obligation to have a good health insurance plan. Costs for medical treatment and medicines are high and they will take a lot from your savings or small pension.
A few days ago I received an e-mail from a man (Canadian) who was living here in the Philippines.
He wrote me that he was 62 and has never been sick. He is working voluntarily with children somewhere in the Philippines. The man was seeking for help to raise money for medical treatment. Some moths ago he had a surgery on his stomach and this has cost him all his savings.
Now he has had a small heart attack caused by a tumor near the urinary bladder. This tumor needs to be removed but he doesn't have any money left to pay for it. He doesn't have any medical insurance. This surgery will cost around 120,000 pesos.
He asked me if there are organizations of charity in the Philippines who are possibly able to help him.
He told me in a second mail that he tried to ask friends and family but he got no for an answer. Also his Canadian Embassy couldn't help him, because they want the money paid back, and he doesn't have any.
This is a sad story but reality. I am not writing this story for fun: it really happened that I received this mans e-mail. I am sure there are more expats living in the Philippines or elsewhere who do not have any health insurance.
There are a number of insurance companies in the world. They all would like to have you as a customer. In my earlier post about this subject (check HERE) I gave already a lot of addresses from websites of those companies.
Check them out if you do not have a health insurance yet, or you are planning to live in or visit the Philippines.

2011 New York Auto Show Preview
Every April, the decidedly car-unfriendly Big Apple hosts the last major auto show before the summer. We'll provide all the new car reveals as they unfold, but in the meantime, here's a snippet of the information that has already leaked.
By Michael Frank
2012 Chevy Malibu
For now, all we know for sure is how the next Malibu will lookthis picture is all that's available. But this evolutionary design will likely feature a four-cylinder engine with around 170 hp and an optional mild hybrid system like the Buick Lacrosse's and might even enjoy the corrupting influence of the Regal's turbocharged four-cylinder. Interestingly, the Malibu will be revealed at the Shanghai auto show, a day before we see it live in NYC.

Gambling involves risking something valuable in exchange for the chance of winning something greater or more significant in value. When most people think of gambling, what usually comes to mind is the image of colorful casinos in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. However, gambling can also occur at gas stations, church halls, and even right at home. With the advent of games such as sport fantasy leagues and online poker, gambling has become even more popular.
Gambling is an entertainment activity that has progressed significantly since the 1600′s. However, this was not an acceptable activity in the beginning. This activity was frowned upon by most societies. As time progressed, gambling became more socially acceptable.
Today, you can see many forms of legalized gambling broadcasted on TV channels like the Discovery Channel and ESPN. It has become one of the most popular hobbies for people in their spare time. Some people even consider it a sport. However, despite its growing acceptance, the debate on how ethical gambling really is continues on.
Debate on the Gambling Industry
With the relatively recent boom of Internet gambling, it is becoming more and more of a hot topic for various governments and groups throughout the world. Unlike other service industries, advertising and promoting the gambling industry can be a taboo in mainstream society. There are many laws and regulations on gambling.
For casinos to make a profit and attract customers, they have to rely on people's need for gambling. Many people feel that gambling is immoral. They also believe that gambling companies prey on the weakness of others and their lack of discipline. Furthermore, many people feel that gambling should be abolished completely.
However, despite those people who do not agree with gambling, there are plenty of individuals who support it. Many people feel that it is their own choice to spend their own money as they choose. In addition, they believe that the few people who lack the discipline to control their gambling habit should not stop others who can. In addition, governments that allow casinos and gambling view this industry as an opportunity to raise tax revenue.
The debate on how ethical gambling is and whether it should be legalized is bound to continue into the future. While this debate continues, new casinos and gambling games will continue to emerge. If you want to engage in gambling, make sure you do not get addicted. A gambling addiction is usually the time when most problems that are associated with gambling start. If you know your limits, then you are safe from the dangerous effects of gambling.


text: HomeTVGeneral HospitalGH Scoops & Spoilers 01.16.08 Regan Cellura January 16, 2008 General Hospital, General Hospital Spoilers 3 Comments Here's the Scoop! It may not be Robin that tells Patrick she's pregnant. Robin will overhear Leo and Patrick talking. It looks like Patrick has already taken his first HIV test and that has come back negative. Leo will mention the broken condom. RUMORS say that JJY is happy with his increased screentime. Who else is happier? LC and NLG. Mac and Felicia will be working on solving Georgie's murder. The DNA test is back but its missing from the file. What's that in Coop's hands? Could it be the results? RUMORS seem to point to Coop becomng their suspect and Maxie will butt heads with her parents about Cooper. This could be what has her agreeing to a road trip. The almost kiss between Jerry and Alexis….I am hearing its during a moment where Jerry is offering Alexis comfort. I've mentioned a possible test for Nikolas and Nadine. It looks like that may be what's coming. Emily is RUMORED to encourage Nikolas to let Nadine help him. Will Robin notice Nadine's attachment to Nikolas? McSteamy makes trouble for McDreamy. It looks like Dr. Devlin may be mixing it up with Leyla. RUMORS that the two Carly's face off… it looks like Carly may come in contact with Claudia who is very much like the original Carly. I guess you can take the girl out of Port Charles but you can't take the PC out of the girl. Carly tells Claudia she used to be just like her. Who do you think will outshine the other in this RUMORED scene? I am hearing that Claudia Z is very much like the original Carly. Claudia is said to share scenes with alot of Port Charles. Carly, Carly, Carly…..I know I start alot of Scoops about Carly that way but when will she ever learn? Never! She'll visit Elizabeth in the hospital and tell her that she plans on having Elizabeth declared as an unfit mother. Is this what has Jason turning his back on his BFF? He definitely tells her to stay out of his life. Elizabeth sketches a picture of Jake and Lulu brings it to Jason as a birthday present. Later, Jason pays Elizabeth a visit. Will Jason finally say he wants to claim Jake? Is Sam attacked? So many RUMORS about who will be attacked and once again I am hearing that the killer makes good on their threat and comes after Sam too. Well this COULD be when Sam gets exposed for all she's done. Lucky is RUMORED to be involved in his "girlfriend's" attack, the aftermath that is, and he just might find out about Sam's secrets then. The Claudia and Sonny RUMORS… remember Kate is said to turn Sonny's proposal down and once again want some space. He just may have a random one night stand because he is hurt over Kate. Its a RUMOR for right now. BUT it looks like Sonny may be drowning his sorrows and forgetting his meds. This could lead to a one night stand with a stranger. Mini Mobster Alert! Yep the slicked back hair Michael is back and he wants revenge on whoever tried to kill his mom. He goes to Jason seeking revenge and we'll see Mikey eyeing a firearm. An explosion! Johnny is on board a boat that blows up. Jason, Logan and Lulu watch from the docks. I told you a long time ago that Anthony Zacchara is sticking around. Now RUMORS say he goes missing and we will see that ZaCrazy is getting around just fine. Will Claudia and Daddy meet up? 3 Responses NekkidEJ January 16, 2008 Michael needs to be slapped down, HARD. I cannot stand that kid. I'm enjoying the Scrubs scenes lately, with Patrick showing concern for Robin. But I don't know why she pushes him away every chance she gets. *sigh* Log in to Reply Luke Kerr January 16, 2008 let me get this straight. Sonny is going to sleep with the character portrayed by the actress who was once Carly while the current Carly is still onscreen? Is it possible that TPTB are looking to get rid of Kate is they can "rekindle" SJB with MB? Leyla needs to keep her hands off Nikolas! JJY, LC, and NLG aren't the only ones glad their getting more airtime. Log in to Reply Kelly January 17, 2008 If Sonny and Claudia sleep together and Carly keeps her nose in Jason's business maybe that would free up Kate and Jax for some afternoon delight???

I have waited so long for this book and was drawn right back into marla's story.....great story, great characters and jessica almasy did an excellent job narrating......please don't let this be the last marla book mr pratt!!!!
I have to say the narrator totally ruined it for me. I had a really hard time getting into the story because of it.
"loved it!!"
loved Lena as the narrator...I love that she just puts her stories out there...made me remember some embarrassing times when I was younger....sad when it was over
"i'm going to miss them so much"
i tried to stretch this book out as long as i could…i have missed jamie and claire so much…i loved every minute of this book and wish it was twice as long as it was as i never get tired of hearing davina porter become claire and jamie.
totally feel like she just skimmed over a bunch of stories…not once did i laugh
"david sedaris is the bomb.com"
no one is funnier than david seders...i love his voice, i love him telling the stories..i laughed out loud....at work...
So disappointed... Year after year of waiting and waiting for each new book and to have it end like this. such a bummer.
"Baby sister *eye roll*"
I've lost interest in this series....and the narrators voice for Brea sets my nerves on edge. If I never hear the phrase "my baby sister" again it will be too soon.
"narrater sounds too young with no emotion"
I have read the 3 books previous to this in the series and really enjoyed them. I made it half way through this audio version before I had to stop. I am horribly disappointed. the narrater ruined it.
"the narrater sounds 15"
totally could not get into this book. the narrater sounds like she's a 15 boy when she does the male voice.
"it was okay...."
the story about lincoln himself was interesting ......the author threw in a little vampire killing to make a "biography" funny/entertaining.....like it said, it was okay not great by any stretch. could have been much better imho

NEW this year we will be using a point system instead of cumulative time to combine all the stages. This system is designed to equally weight the stages by eliminating large time gaps on single stages while still factoring time into the final results.
Winner of each class on each stage will receive 0 points as they are 0 percent behind the winner (they won). All others will receive points based on the percentage of time that they are behind the winner on each stage. The rider with the lowest number of points after all stages will be the winner.
The formula for points given on each stage will be ((Racers time/winners time)-1) x 100.
Here are some sample results showing how this will be calculated:
Rank Bib Time Points
1 27 10:00.00 0.00
2 88 10:30.00 5.00
3 17 11:00.00 10.00
4 33 11:12.71 12.12
5 75 11:41.16 16.86
6 49 12:00.00 20.00
A few others have been added to show how the precision will work. If you are using a calculator then you MUST convert time to seconds before doing the math. The math used to calculate second place is:
Racers time = 10:30.00 or 630.00 seconds
Winners time = 10:00.00 or 600.00 seconds
630.00/600.00=1.05 – 1= .05 x 100 = 5.00
Points will be ROUNDED to the nearest .01 precision so for 4th place the calculated point result of 12.1183333 is rounded to = 12.12.
Overall time will be used as a tie-breaker within the points system.

Sisowath Sirik Matak
Prince Sisowath Sirik Matak (January 22, 1914 — April 21, 1975) was a member of the Cambodian royal family, the Varman dynasty, under the House of Sisowath. Sirik Matak was mainly notable for his involvement in Cambodian politics, particularly for his involvement in the 1970 right-wing coup against his cousin, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, and for his subsequent establishment, along with Lon Nol, of the Khmer Republic. Sirik Matak was born in Phnom Penh, and was a member of the Sisowath branch of the Varman Dynasty, being the great-grandson of Sisowath of Cambodia. He was recruited into the colonial civil service in 1930. Under the colonial French-imposed constitution, any member of the Norodom or Sisowath branches of the family could be selected as king, and Sirik Matak was therefore one of the possible contenders to the Cambodian throne. In 1941, after the death of King Sisowath Monivong, the French authorities selected Sirik Matak's cousin Norodom Sihanouk to be King, believing him to be relatively pliant. Sihanouk later accused Sirik Matak of harbouring a deep resentment against him, stating that he "hated me from childhood days because he thought his uncle, Prince Sisowath  ( Wikipedia article )

A Monday Hangover
But he had a very good recent post on "The Hangover" killing and "Land of the Lost" dying:
We'll have more to say about this later, but one thing once again seems obvious: If you have a really good movie with a strong concept and no movie stars going up against a really bad movie with a weak concept and a big movie star -- the good movie wins every time. The public can no longer be hypnotized into seeing a bad movie just by the presence of a A-list star.Hell, I'd take out the star stuff, it only confuses. If you have a good movie with a good concept vs. a bad movie with a weak concept, the good movie wins.
As for the specifics last weekend? You have Will Ferrell starring in a non-Will Ferrell movie that's supposed to be bad vs. a bunch of dudes starring in a Will Ferrell-like movie that's supposed to be really good. Which do you go see?
Goldstein also has this interesting graf about the marketing chief for Warner Bros. (and thus "Hangover"), Sue Kroll:
Kroll knew she hit pay dirt when she went to the hair salon on Saturday. She listened with delight as a pair of women relived the uproarious time they'd had seeing the film with friends the night before. "One of them said, 'I loved that guy who was missing a tooth -- he reminded me of my ex-boyfriend.' " Kroll recalled. "And then she said, 'Everyone loves that movie. My mother's going to see it now too.' "
That is what is called major league buzz -- when even grandmothers are going to see a movie whose target audience is 19-year-old boys.
It seems to be panning out. On Monday, "Hangover"'s box office fell off by only 41.9%. Most films, from Sunday to Monday, drop off in the 60s. In fact, so far this year, for a non-holiday weekend, "Hangover"'s is the second-smallest Monday dropoff for any weekend box office champion—after "Taken"'s 39% at the end of January.
Some may attribute this to school getting out and kids running amuck (and to the theater) but that 41.9% trumps the Monday fall-off for any weekend box office champ in June 2008, too.

The book is made of hemp-related materials, with the cover, binding, and internal lining all made from hemp paper while the spine of the book is a match striking surface.

While the book is currently for representative distribution, a limited edition book is being discussed for retail in the Fall of 2012. However, some 420-friendly festival goers at this year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival were able to get their hans on a copy or have the chance to sample the rolling papers from posters placed at the festival with the rolling papers as tabs to detach and take.

If you're planning an adventurous vacay and don't have the time to hit 50 different stores to get what you need, look no further - because here's a handy list for reference!
My first stop in Brazil will be the Amazon, where I'll face the challenge of UV rays, heat, biting disease-bearing insects, and other nasty bugs that cause unpleasant and frequent 200s. I visited the following to minimize my risk:
Your health is #1, so the Dr. should be your first stop, at least a month before your trip. Some countries require a certificate (the little yellow card) showing that you've had the proper immunizations. Visiting a travel doctor instead of your primary care physician before a trip, allows you the benefit of a specialist that can assist you with the necessary vaccinations and health precautions, and can possibly save you money as well. Dr. Terri Rock in Santa Monica is certified by the International Society of Travel Medicine and the American Society of Tropical Medicine, and is also an avid traveler that volunteers her medical services in exotic locales to help those in need. She exceeded my expectations, and provided me with practical suggestions for traveling in tropics, which leads me to #1a...
1a. TRAVMED.COM
My travel physician turned me on to this Travel Medicine website. Since it's a website, it's not really a Los Angeles source, so it's not in my top 5 count, hence the 1a. They have good prices on Permethrin clothing treatment, insect repellent, and ceralyte glucose-based rehydration formula (just in case). If you enter the preferred pricing code trav10, you get 10% off your order.
This is the perfect shop to score phrasebooks and travel guides. There's a nice kids selection; and it's a great place to buy a gift for your favorite armchair traveler. A friendly staff member special-ordered a map of the Brazilian Amazon for me because they didn't have one in stock, and it took less than a week to arrive.
At first glance, I thought this store was geared towards someone like my mom about to take a luxury cruise. Well, that's not entirely an inaccurate assumption since they did have plenty of apparel that my mom would be thrilled to wear, however, this shop makes my list because of the expertise of the staff, selection of traveler gadgets and accessories, and some sun and insect protective garments they had on sale. There are 2 store locations - Santa Monica and Santa Barbara.
I credit Adventure 16 as the store that got me hooked on adventure. I remember the first time I wandered in the store and saw all the climbing gear and ropes on display and thought, "I want to be the kind of person that needs to buy that..." Not only does Adventure 16 carry products you'd be hard-pressed to find at other stores, but the staff is very knowledgeable, and has a passion for outdoor sports. Standing in line at checkout, staff members inquire, "So where are you going on your trip?" and you'll hear a conversation about the lemurs in Madagascar or climbing in Africa. Check their website for clinics they host with adventure travel experts, and plan your next trip. Right now there's a sale on ExOfficio clothing, which I took advantage of.
I shopped REI at the end of the day, saving the best for last. Yes, I've lectured at a bunch of locations, but that's not the reason I say this; it's because this store has the perfect combination of intelligent, personable customer service with gear and clothing for all income levels. REI has their own brand which tends to be less expensive, but comparable quality to other higher-end brands. I had a fantastic selection of mosquito nets to choose from, including ones in my price range (the Defender brand happened to be on sale) so I didn't have to be stuck with that dorky mosquito head-net as the only thing I could afford. Best thing about REI, the friendly sales gent said I could return my Buff headband I bought a couple years ago and exchange it for one with Insect Shield, which will be a huge help in the jungle. If you are an REI member, they can locate your purchases in the system, and it's as good as a receipt.
I stopped in Big 5, which is known for their inexpensive clothing and sports equipment selection. I checked to see if they carried mosquito nets since they carry hunting licenses and equipment, and the only thing they carried was that stupid head net. I was about to leave, when I noticed they had a decent selection of compact binoculars, perfect for wildlife viewing while on an Amazon riverboat, on sale for $10. A staff member assisted me, and proceeded to go through the merits of every binocular, including the ruby-coated lenses feature, which are, "great for spying on your neighbors so they can't see the reflection of your lenses. Just kidding. They're really used for hunting, so the deer can't see you." Funny.

Narrow your search
One of our favorite gaming laptops get a sharp 4K display that will make all kinds of content look better, although it's a bit of a tease, as you can't actually crank most games up to that resolution.
For anyone tired of working day-to-day on a small screen, but still wants a high-end, thin-and-light with a long, long battery life, the Book 9 2014 Edition is one sweet system.
The HP Stream 11 aims to be a cloud-focused laptop, much like a Chromebook, but with the added utility of Windows 8. It's a rock-bottom budget laptop, so don't get your hopes up, but the battery life is impressive.
The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a budget hybrid that skips the more-common fold-back or button-clasp hinges and instead attaches its screen via a magnetic connection. It shares the same hardware limitations as other small hybrids, but can be easier to use.
The most important things to know when shopping for a new laptop, hybrid, or Windows tablet.
Samsung keeps the nice-looking design of its previous 11.6-inch Chromebook 2 while making it a little more durable and puts live support help just a click away, making it a noteworthy update to the company's Chrome-computing lineup.
One of the first laptops that can drive games at 4K resolutions, the Asus G751 is an expensive but capable alternative to gaming desktops.
This top-rated touchscreen laptop normally sells for $999.99. And you can sweeten the deal a little further with a cashback service.
The HP Spectre TouchSmart XT is a rare superslim 15-inch laptop with a touch screen, but for the premium price, it should include more high-end extras.
If you're looking for an all-around solid Chrome OS experience -- with one of the best screens we've seen on a Chromebook -- the Toshiba Chromebook 2 should be your starting point.

One of two remaining leaders of the Shining Path rebel group in Peru said that his troops will cease attacks and is calling for a truce to start peace negotiations with the government.
Known as Comrade Artemio, Jose Flores Hala told journalists last week in his jungle hideout that he "isn't going to deny" that the government won in its war against the Maoist rebels, Peruvian media reported on Wednesday.
Flores, however, couldn't speak for another Shining Path leader, known only as Comrade Jose, who has not declared a truce.
Flores is based in the Huallaga Valley in central Peru, a centre of coca production, while Comrade Jose is in the Apurimac-Ene river valley in the country's southeast, where coca production is also rampant.
Flores said his roughly 150 guerrillas would not demobilise without a "process of frank and real negotiations". But, he told reporters, "We have no intention to brandish arms of war in armed struggle".
The Shining Path has shrunk since its heyday in the 1980s when it controlled large areas of the Peruvian countryside.
Some 70,000 people were killed between 1980 and 2000 as the Peruvian government waged war on the Shining Path and a rival leftist guerrilla group, the Tupac Amaru movement, according to Peru's independent Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Government troops captured leader Abimael Guzman in 1992 and his successor Comrade Feliciano in 1999. The group has since split into the two factions.

SEC Warns on Reverse Merger Stocks
(Updated with further detail from the SEC's investor bulletin on reverse mergers.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission put out an investor bulletin Thursday afternoon warning the world of potential fraud among companies that came public in the U.S. through a controversial method called a reverse merger.
Though the agency didn't single out companies hailing from China, a burgeoning fraud scandal among a raft of Chinese small-cap stocks that entered the market through the reverse merger process gave the SEC's bulletin a clear context.
For nearly a year now, short-seller reports and media exposés alleging accounting fraud (as well as outright theft of capital raised from U.S. investors) have served to make toxic the entire Chinese small-cap stock sector. The trend has accelerated since March, as a series of companies have seen their auditors abruptly resign, refusing to sign off on the 2010 financial numbers that stock issuers must file with the SEC in their 10-K annual reports. Trading in the shares of more than 15 Chinese companies have been halted or delisted. Many stocks in the sector generally have lost more than half their value year-to-date -- tens of billions in evaporated market cap.

Greene County officials find bodies of twins
Updated On: Jul 01 2013 02:22:35 PM CDT
Officials in Greene County have found the bodies of 6-year-old twin boys who fell into Chickasawhay River on Saturday.
Greene County Emergency Manager Trent Robertson said one of the boys was found late Sunday night and the other around 5:30 a.m. Monday.
The boys were identified as James and Issac McGowan. Autopsies have been ordered.
Sheriff Stanley McLeod said a family friend called 911 at 5:29 p.m. Saturday to report the children had been playing on the sandbar when they disappeared. They apparently waded off in a deep part of the river, he said.
Their bodies were recovered in an area of the river off U.S. Highway 98 in the southern part of Greene County.

This recipe is fabulous. The sauce is light and full of flavor. I used shrimp, scallops & lump crabmeat instead of clams & will absolutely be making it again. Giada's recipes rarely disappoint. This is a keeper.

Delicious, light and fast-easy for such a delicious pasta !
I used large scallops, mussels and clams and it was awesome! I also added asparagus.
I was nervous that the "sauce" wouldn't really work with no cream, but it did all come together very nicely, definitely not a thick saucy type of dish but the 'sauce' was so flavorful that it worked great! I will be making this and experimenting with additions (squid? in the future

This has got to be our favorite dish. My husband chose it for our anniversary dinner. It's a very light, delicious dish that takes only minutes to prepare. I do half the clams and add mussels because I saw it in another recipe and we both love mussels. I also add some red pepper flakes. The broth is very flavorful from the wine, sundried tomatoes, and the juices from the seafood. I do half the recipe if it's just the two of us for dinner or I will have a ton of leftovers.

The Council of Europe's experts on the constitutional right have come to the conclusion that the Crimea referendum on annexation to Russia is illegal.
According to the conclusions of the Venice Commission, the Crimea referendum on annexation to Russia is unlawful.
Experts say, the conditions for holding the referendum do not correspond to democratic standards.
Sebastian Kurz informs, the official conclusion of the Venice Commission is to be published during March 21-22.
"There is nothing bad in direct democracy, however, it requires legal and democratic basis," Kurz says.
He believes such basis does not exist, since the voting in Crimea is going to be held in an environment of intimidation.
The Ministry of Justice has petitioned the Venice Commission for an inspection of the Russia's government decisions concerning the military intervention in the Crimea territory. Alongside, the Ministry addressed Crimeans to boycott the referendum on March 16.

Police warn residents of suspicious truck near bus stop
Independence police said a suspicious vehicle approached a child at a morning bus stop location Thursday.
Police said they took a report about a red truck from the 1970s or 1980s with tinted windows. Authorities said the truck was being driven in a suspicious manner around a bus stop near Truman Road and River Boulevard.
Police said the truck was moving slowly behind a child who was walking to a bus stop.
Officials said a patrol officer will provide extra patrol in the area. Those with information on the incident or similar incidents can contact Independence police at 816-325-7852 or 816-325-7300.

text: As Katie Morris mentioned earlier this month in her blog post about slow cooker minestrone, dropping temperatures and encroaching finals mean 'tis the season for soup. And lots of it. Soup appeals to my cooking sensibilities, as it requires no measuring of ingredients, can be made with virtually whatever you have on hand. What's more, if you're willing to break out a 50 cent package of Top Ramen, it can be finished in about the time it takes to boil water Livening up a package of ramen noodles into a full bodied soup can be as simple as throwing in some vegetables and an egg or as fancy as frying up some pork and breaking out the sake. The incarnation pictured above falls somewhere in between. This soup adventure began as most of my cooking does, by setting water in a pot to boil and throwing a sliced onion into a pan of hot oil — I used red, but yellow or white would work just as well.

During the years of the George W. Bush administration a new modus operandi was forged for the GOP through both actions and (even on a couple of occasions) direct statements: "Facts are irrelevant." Since the 2008 election many of the loudest voices in the the GOP (and their media cheerleaders) have pursued that approach with gusto. Perhaps their greatest monument to that practice has been in characterizing the Affordable Care Act ("ACA" aka "Obamacare"). The result has been a confused citizenry that is uncertain whether lies, repeated after being dis-proven, must somehow be true. That can be seen in many of the recent man on the street interviews and polls that have gone viral perhaps the most telling among them are the ones asking people the ignorance-revealing question if they like "the Affordable Care Act" better than "Obamacare".
It's hard to discuss the facts around issues like these without being labeled "politically biased"
and I fully admit my political views are usually liberal. But the saying that "reality has a liberal bias" seems to be more true with every passing day, I'm sad to say (really!). My own politics also means I have my own bones to pick with the ACA and its half-assed, market-based approach to the problem which continues to make our collective health a profit-based commodity. Many of the comments in my recent poll on "preferred approach to health care" illustrate just how much mis-information is flying around. So as a public service I'd like to point everyone to a few helpful links that clarify some of the chief factual distortions and outright lies that are muddying the waters of our recent national discussion around the ACA.
Please note I might try to chime in on a few of the comments, but there ain't no way in Hades I'm going to be able to engage in a discussion with everyone. My goal here is to try and find reliable and verifiable resources that are fact-based. It's a sad reality that, while the Internet affords us so many more news sources than we've known in the past, so much of that information is tainted or willfully misleading. So understanding all of the news we get requires more effort than ever as we have to do our own vetting. So I invite you to vet any of the claims in these listings on your own
just remember, finding an opposing view or statement is easy, but it doesn't always count as verifying your information. When in doubt you can always go to the source:
The Affordable Care Act, section-by-section: www.hhs.gov/healthcare/rights/…
OK, here's your quick resources for trying to make sense of some of the more contentious issues:
Politifact's List of the Top 16 Myths about the Health Care Law:
Media Matter's List of 15 Myths The Media Should Ignore During Obamacare Implementation:
Politifact's List of 10 Things Obamacare Supporters say that aren't Entirely True:
FactCheck.org's Obamacare Myths:
Some of you may be inclined to respond to these lists by killing the messenger (the media source). I ask you politely to refrain from that approach if you choose to comment and instead address the presented facts with your own supported fact-based challenges. To do otherwise is simply to avoid the issue all together.
Bottom line: I hope those of all political stripes that are confused by the swirl of "fact-like-info", truthiness, and spin on the ACA will get a clearer view of what it is and what it is not. But don't take my word for it... or these links. THINK! Do your homework and look at every voice with healthy skepticism tempered by reason.

They are the songs you cannot get out of your head. Now scientists may have found a way to help anyone plagued by those annoying tunes that lodge themselves inside our heads and repeat on an endless loop.
Researchers claim the best way to stopping the phenomenon, sometimes known as earworms – where snippets of a catchy song inexplicably play like a broken record in your brain – is to solve some tricky anagrams.
This can force the intrusive music out of your working memory, they say, allowing it to be replaced with other more amenable thoughts.
But they also warn not to try anything too difficult as those irritating melodies may wiggle their way back into your consciousness.
For those unwilling to carry around a book of anagrams, a good novel may also do the trick.
"The key is to find something that will give the right level of challenge," said Dr Ira Hyman, a music psychologist at Western Washington University who conducted the research. "If you are cognitively engaged, it limits the ability of intrusive songs to enter your head.
"Something we can do automatically like driving or walking means you are not using all of your cognitive resource, so there is plenty of space left for that internal jukebox to start playing.
"Likewise, if you are trying something too hard, then your brain will not be engaged successfully, so that music can come back. You need to find that bit in the middle where there is not much space left in the brain. That will be different for each individual.
"It is like a Goldilocks effect – it can't be too easy and it can't be too hard, it has got to be just right."
Dr Hyman and his team conducted a series of tests on volunteers by playing them popular songs in an attempt to find out how tunes can become stuck in long term memory.
By playing songs by the Beatles, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé while the volunteers completed mazes drawn out on pieces of paper, they found they could get songs to play mentally in the participants heads and that they were then likely to recur intrusively through the next day.
They then tested whether performing puzzles such as Sudoku or anagrams would help to reduce the recurrence of the earworms.
They found that while Sudoku puzzles could help prevent the songs from replaying their heads, if they were too difficult it had little effect.
Anagrams were more successful and they found that solving those with five letters gave the best results.
"Verbal tasks like solving anagrams or reading a good novel seem to be very good at keeping earworms out," said Dr Hyman, who now hopes to examine whether similar techniques could be used to prevent other intrusive thoughts caused by anxiety or obsessiveness.

December and January editions of magazines often feature articles on New Year's resolutions — how to make them, how to keep them, or reasons not to bother setting them in the first place.
Some people do feel motivated at this time of year to set goals and work on improving their lives. Others are dealing with post-holiday distress (too much food, too much drink, having to go back to work or school) and have no intention of making resolutions. For those of you who have set goals for 2010, congratulations!
But if you're thinking that it's just too hard to change the way you eat, do more exercise or have a better A1C, maybe this is the year to rethink and reframe. In other words, rather than setting goals that you know you probably won't accomplish, why not make a "Top Ten" list of your own to use and refer to over the course of this year? Maybe aim to try something new each month or so. The list doesn't have to be filled with super-challenging steps, either. On the other hand, your list shouldn't be populated with things you already do. Keep your list with you. As you accomplish each action, check it off or cross it out. But keep at it. Soon you'll have formed several new habits that will improve your health.
Feeling stuck? Here are a few suggestions to get you started.
Happy New Year!
These are not just the usual hard-to-follow recomendations. They sound reasonable and appear to be easily put into practice.

With regard to diabetes and memory loss I totally agree and my endrochronologist supports it. She contributs it to my many low blood sugar episodes. My doctor has given me the suppliment "Phosphatidylcholine" 420mg twice a day. I'm not sure if it helps or not.
