Maserati releases quartet of videos featuring new Quattroporte
In case you missed it, Maserati has decided to introduce the world to its next Quattroporte well ahead of its official debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January. As expected, it's beautiful.
Not content to leave well enough alone, the Italian automaker has revealed a series of videos to go along with the six images and press release it had already let loose upon the globe's unsuspecting automotive press.
We're still a bit shaky on the details, but Maserati says the Quattroporte's new engine, assembled by Ferrari in Maranello, will "[establish] new benchmarks for Maserati in terms of power and acceleration." That sounds good to us, though we're not sure if that means 530 horsepower as possibly alluded to by the license plate on the press shots. We also note that the automaker says the car is designed to accept "a wide range of engine architectures," so that rumored supercharged V6 sounds likely.
Maserati promises lower weight will bring increased performance and efficiency, despite the fact that its next Quattroporte will be "much larger than the previous" model.
Watch all four videos below, and stay tuned for our live coverage from Detroit in T-minus two months.

The same black and gold packaging is used for the SilverStone Gold Evolution series. There is a short list of features on the front.
The back simply redirects you to their website in multiple languages for some more information.
On the top we find a good list of specifications for the unit and it covers all four wattages of the unit.
The bottom has some more information about the unit including compatibility with the PP05 short cable kit and the included fan filter. Also pictured is their Air Penetrator fan with results in quieter fan operation.
One side has a good list of connector availability for the unit. The big difference between the 850W, 1000W and 1200W models is the number of PCI-E connectors. The 1200W model also has double the SATA connectors.
The other side simply displays a picture of the power supply.

Oh, to be a LucasArts veteran. To have lived through the days of Monkey Island and Full Throttle, and slipped away when it became about bad Star Wars games. To live as some sort of renegade idealist, criss-crossing the country on a Harley, rounding up a posse of old friends and starting your own development studio to produce a completely original adventure game. It's been done - a few times now in fact,
(just look at Psychonauts) - so could we be about to see it happen again?
A Vampyre Story is the brain-baby of game-art guru Bill Tiller. It stars Mona de Laffite ("after the loading dock in the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride at Disneyland," explains Tiller), an unwilling vampiress who finds herself sharing an adventure with Froderick, her friendly bat companion. Expect pointing-and-clicking on a classic LucasArts level, with vampiric abilities such as shape-shifting playing a part in the game's puzzles.
So, can we expect funny? Monkey Island-funny? "Sure," says Tiller, "after all, it's a comic adventure! Many people seem to think it's like The Curse Of Monkey Island and The Secret Of Monkey Island, just in the horror genre instead of the pirate genre. So, while the game has a darker subject matter and art style than a pirates-in-the-Caribbean setting, and definitely has its own style, we're striving to produce a game that's both very funny and unique. Our writer, Dave Harris, is one of the most talented and most funny persons ever to walk the face of the earth, and also a LucasArts veteran, so Monkey Island-funny is probably a good way to put it."
Just as we found with Psychonauts and the recent batch of Sam & Max games, the spirit of the old Lucasarts classics is seemingly alive and well in A Vampyre Story - not just in the writing, but in Bill Tiller's own art style too.
"There are a lot of influences on my work," Tiller tells us. "One of my favourite artists is Edward Gorey. He might be not that famous in England - he did these great black-and-white ink drawings of Victorian aristocrats in macabre and funny situations. He's the main inspiration, along with Dr Seuss and Tim Burton. Originally we were planning on making the game in black-and-white, using the Edward Gorey pen-and-ink style.
But we abandoned it when it became clear the colour version looked better. I still want to do a short pen-and-ink-looking mini-adventure game, maybe some day."
And, as some sort of litmus test of point-and-click heritage, how many tree stump gags can we expect in the new game? "That tree stump joke never gets old," laughs Tiller. "There'll be a lot of references and homages to 'the old days' - but what exactly, you'll have to wait and see!"

Brits. We will never understand them sometimes—and not just because of the cute accents.
Tonight some rather cheeky Brits are celebrating a "Blitz Party," the 65th anniversary of D-Day, when the Allied forces invaded Normandy, France, during WWII. (The Blitz was when the Germans bombed the city of London for over a month straight, tens of thousands of Brits were killed and millions of homes and buildings destroyed.) Keep reading »

According to research recently released by mobile ad network InMobi, 41% of mobile users in North America plan to purchase the iPhone 5. 50% of those planning to purchase the phone will buy it within the first six months after it is launched, which could propel its current 27% smartphone market share to 41%. InMobi added one caveat: if Apple decides to release a minor upgrade to the current iPhone, just 15% of consumers will purchase the new device. InMobi's research revealed that consumers hope Apple upgrades the processing speed, screen resolution, battery life and service quality in the new device. 51% of current iPhone owners, 27% of BlackBerry owners and 52% of Android owners plan to upgrade to the iPhone 5. If Apple reveals an iPhone 4S, however, just 11% of iPhone and BlackBerry users and 28% of Android users plan to make the purchase. "Apple is currently the clear leader in terms of compelling user experience and customer loyalty, and we feel that their quality and pace of innovation when it comes to mobile devices will continue to improve the content and advertising experience for consumers for iPhone 5 and beyond," InMobi vice president of global research and marketing James Lamberti said. Read on for the full press release.

SKUs for a revised iPhone 4, believed to be the iPhone 4S, and new iPod touch SKUs have surfaced in Apple's inventory system, 9to5Mac reported on Wednesday. The iPhone 4 SKUs reinforce rumors that Apple will introduce a watered-down version of the device, perhaps with just 8GB of memory, as the budget-friendly "iPhone 4S." The listings also lend credence to early analyst reports that suggested Apple will not make any hardware changes to the iPod touch. Apple may instead only introduce a white version of the popular media player. According to 9to5Mac, Apple lists a new "N90A" codename in its system, which likely represents a small upgrade from the original iPhone 4 (the N90). The two SKUs for the phone may represent white and black 8GB models. The iPhone 5 has not yet popped up in the inventory, it seems. Additionally, 9to5Mac reported Apple is now listing three new iPod touch models with the codename "N81A." The SKUs are expected to represent white versions of the current 8GB, 32GB and 64GB models. Apple will unveil its latest iPhone devices, and likely the white iPod touch, during its press conference on October 4th. BGR will be reporting all of the Apple news as it breaks.

We just spent a few minutes checking out the brand new Amazon Kindle Touch and all new Amazon Kindle, and we're impressed. Both tablets were extremely light, though with the touch sensitivity being incredible on the Kindle touch, we could see ourselves opting for that with 3G over the regular Kindle. The backs of both are metal, like the previous Kindle, and the readability is fantastic on the E Ink displays, even with the touch capability on the Kindle touch. While the prices of both are insanely attractive, Amazon revealed to us that these prices are for the special offers versions of the Kindle devices, and that the non-special offer Kindles will be $109 and $139, respectively. Even still, the prices that Amazon is delivering these products for is incredible, and the new Nook just got a whole lot less attractive. Hit the gallery for all of our photos.
Seems not all that long ago the HTC Rhyme was nothng more then a rumor and now Verizon will gladly sell you one for $199 on a new 2-year contract. You get that fancy interactive charm to go along with it so it's not all that bad of a deal, especially considering the package as a whole.
Amazon's big Kindle Fire announcement day has come and gone, and a lot of you may be scratching your head trying to figure out all the news that happened while you were stuck at work or school. We've taken the time to provide a handy set of questions and answers ourselves, and we think they would make a great starting point. Of course, you can (and should) dive into the discussion in the Kindle Fire forums to talk it all out as well. Hit the jump and have a read.

[1254] Characterization of B-Cell Lymphoma Unclassifiable with Features Intermediate between Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma and Burkitt's Lymphoma: A Ten Year Retrospective Review.
Lori Edwards, Vinai Bhagirath, Elizabeth Krakow, Christine Keng, Alice Lytwyn, Cathrine Ross, Lehana Thebane, Emmy Cheng, Monalisa Sur. McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada
Background: In 2008 the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed the BCLU category for high grade lymphomas clinically resembling DLBL but with more aggressive histological features and showing morphology more similar to BL. The behavior of BCLU is not well defined. Our goal was to describe the clinical and pathologic features of BCLU compared to DLBL.
Design: We searched pathology reports from 1998-2008 using the terms "Burkitt, atypical Burkitt, DLBL with BL features, DLBL with high proliferation index/Ki67" to identify potential BCLU cases. A similar number of DLBL cases, matched for year of diagnosis, were randomly selected. Two pathologists, blinded to the original diagnosis, together reviewed the cases using 2008 WHO criteria to confirm cases of BCLU and DLBL. Clinical charts were reviewed. BCLU cases with sufficient material were tested for Bcl2 and MYC genetic abnormalities.
Results: There were 34 BCLU and 97 DLBL cases. Median age was 63 years for BCLU and 67 years for DLBL. CNS involvement was present in 6 (20%) of BCLU and 4 (5%) of DLBL (p=0.01), and bulky disease in 12 (40%) of BCLU and 18 (20%) of DLBL (p=0.02). There was no significant difference in gender, International Prognostic Index, Ann Arbor stage, or marrow involvement. Median overall survival (OS) for BCLU and DLBL was 330 and 837 days, respectively, Hazard Ratio (HR) for OS was 2.5, 95%CI 1.2-5.2, adjusting for IPI and treatment. Median progression-free survival (PFS) for BCLU and DLBL was 213 and 649 days, respectively, HR 2.0, 95%CI 1.0-3.9, adjusting for IPI and treatment. Disease progression while on treatment occurred in 9 (33%) of BCLU and 8 (10%) of DLBL (p=0.03). Five BCLU patients received BL chemotherapy regimes, while 24 received CHOP-based DLBL therapy. Nine of 24 (38%) BCLU tested had abnormalities in both Bcl2 and MYC genes, called double hits (DH). Bulky disease was present in 63% of DH and 13% of non-DH; OS for DH was worse than non-DH, HR 13.8; 95%CI 2.3-83.6.
Conclusions: Compared to DLBL, patients with BCLU appeared to have more frequent CNS involvement and bulky disease, more frequent disease progression while on treatment and worse OS and PFS. BCLU with DH may have a worse prognosis, but these findings are limited by the small sample size. This is the first study to demonstrate that the clinical outcome of the new BCLU entity appears to be distinct from DLBL and further studies into more effective treatment regimes are necessary.

Minnesota's WCCO-TV has been running "reality check" segments since the 1990s, said Patrick Kessler, a political reporter there. "I think this is an extremely valuable tool for journalists, and I hope it goes more local," he said. "I believe most of our viewers get much if not most of their info locally. For TV stations around the country, I think this is the future."
Greg Fox, of Orlando's WESH-TV, said his station's "truth test" segments can take days to produce—but they are popular with viewers and can also be ratings boosters. "Resources can be a challenge in smaller market stations. But it's important. I think sometimes 'Hey, we're a small market' is a bad excuse," said Fox.
Both Fox and Kessler said that when their stations decide to produce a factcheck segment, they like to let the disputed advertisement run for a few days before the factcheck airs. "We want people to be able to see it for a few days to get an idea of what they're attempting to say, so they'll have an idea of what we're talking about," said Fox. "We try to give them a lot of information [in the truth test segments], but it doesn't make a difference if they don't know what we're talking about."
That approach wasn't well-received by the audience at the Annenberg event. "So you find that the ad is false, but the station continues to air it even after it's false?" one attendee asked.
"We don't [always] find an entire ad false. One thing [in it] might be. We [might] find something half-false, half-true," replied Kessler, who nevertheless admitted that "this is something, journalistically and ethically, I wonder about all the time."
Another attendee questioned the efficacy of televised factchecks, no matter when they run. "Much of the research suggests that repeating false claims tends to reinforce them. They're very difficult to debunk," the questioner noted. "One of the things that concerns me with these segments is that many of them are likely to reinforce the claims." (CJR contributor Brendan Nyhan and his colleague Jason Riefler have done important original research on the difficulty of debunking misinformation, though they have also identified some best practices for journalists.)
The exchange highlighted different attitudes toward countering misinformation, and a different understanding of what factchecking efforts should try to achieve.
"What's our goal?" Kessler responded. "Is it to make the politicians stop what they're doing? Or is it to tell people what's happened? What's our ethical responsibility? To me, it's to inform our viewers and inform our voters."

It's been months since Brian Sinclair, lead guitarist for the famous rock band Sinners, composed anything. Unable to write the music that once flowed so naturally, Brian is lost without his musical mojo. But when sexy psychology professor Myrna Evans comes on tour to study groupie mentality, Brian may have found the spark he needs to reignite his musical genius. When lust turns to love, will Brian be able to convince Myrna that what they have is more than just a fling, and that now that he's found his heart's muse, he doesn't want to live without her?

"An erotic foray into the behind-the-scenes world of a heavy metal band." (Fresh Fiction)
In my heart, I believe that all fiction authors are gods. They create worlds and give life to people who only live in them.
"A Whole New Level of Wow!"
I was going to skip this one since I wasn't really that interested in a storyline about Rock Stars and the women who love them -- but the reviews were pretty awesome, so I let the reviewers pick this one for me. (Thanks!)
A group of randy rock stars meet a Human Sexuality Professor in a hotel lounge and the fun starts! This book is witty, sweet and even romantic, but the sex scenes are in a class all their own. This has to be the hottest erotica series out there right now -- with great characters, an well written plot and a perfect reader. And did I mention the mind-blowing sex scenes?
Justine O. Keef's performance was pitch perfect, and her male characters were believable and sexy. Again, Wow!
Lock the door, turn off the phone, close the curtains and pour a glass of wine. Once you start Backstage Pass, you won't want any distractions!
When I clean, drive or exercise I listen to romance. The steamier the better but it must have a great story as well!
"lots of hot sex found here!"
I found the sex scenes in this book very HOT! However, the storyline felt a little slacking. I wish they could combine more story with the sex scenes. I was interested in all the characters and was slightly disappointed not to found out more about them. If your looking for a book with great sex and a simple story this book is definitely for you! Happy Listening!
"My favorite book... put into audio!"
I would say this is in the top three. This was my absolute favorite book on Kindle. I couldn't wait for it to come out on audio.
There is a little bit of everything in the book. My favorite part is the humor between the bandmates and the hopeless romantic Brian.
Justine tries very hard to make the guys sound like rock stars, but there is only so much a women can emulate a males' voice (especially screaming) without being a male herself. :)
Both. Olivia Cunning does a GREAT job of pulling you into the story completely.
This is by far one of my favorite books. It is probably too explicit for some listeners, but if you can handle Fifty Shades or similar, you will love this book! I cant wait for the others to come out on audio. I already own all of her books that are out on my Kindle!
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
"Steamy Sex - Sweet Romance"
Other reviews will use words like hot, or sizzling, or steamy, and all those words are true. What they may not mention is this book also has real heart. It's laugh out loud funny in places, and heartbreaking, and heart-warming.
Backstage Pass is most of all, a love story. Romance with a capital "R". Two very real, wonderfully three dimensional people with histories, and baggage, and hang-ups, who come together for a night of hot sex and find themselves in love. And one of them is going to resist that feeling with everything they've got. Their journey, played out against the background of a rock tour and all the accompanying insanity of that, makes me glad I got to go along for the ride.
Ms. Cunning does an outstanding job of weaving in the music, and making the concert scene--in all its grungy reality--come alive for the reader. It's a fresh, original concept, handled beautifully by someone who knows how to write extraordinarily well, and whose love of the music comes through in every scene.
She's also introduced larger than life characters who are secondary in this first book of the Sinners on Tour series, but who will each have their turn to take centre stage in the subsequent books. I can hardly wait. Imagine me, standing here in the dark, my lighter raised high, screaming for an encore!
Justine O. Keef did a great job in the delivery of the story. This really one of my favourite audio books I will listen again. Please, please Audible more of the Sinners on tour.
I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
"Totally Fabulous!!"
Great story!! (Caution contains explict sexual content.) In my opinion it was totally awesome. I wanted to listen to it in one session. I was so wrapped up in the story and that does not happen often. It's well worth the credit. I hope the next book in this series is as good because I'm getting that one too.
I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
Sinners on TOUR!!! What ... Amazing... Master Sinclair!!! Soooo totally goood. I loved this book. I was so not expecting this, but WOW. From Chapter 1 I was blow away by Professor Sex... OMG! Loved it. Two people who should not be together that are so totally perfect for each other. I love it. I was shock too at the end when I found out about TREY... WHAT!!! U Gotta listen to know what I am talking about... Trust when I say, you won't be disappointed. Master Sinclair creates the great music riffs when making love... how perfect... Right...???
Totally buy or credit. This is totally worth it.
Narration was just awesome.
"Hot!!! Hot!!! Hot!!!!"
I chose this book based on the ratings and I was not disappointed. The sex scenes were very steamy and the love story of Brian and Mryna keep me interested. I plan to look out for more work from the author.
Love books, preferably romance and suspense. Typically read/listen to 3-5 a week.
After reading the reviews I was not sure I wanted to listen to this book. I took a chance. Normally, I do not favor any books when there is a menage de trios but, I was surprised it did not bother me as much as I thought. The story line was so well done, you sort of not notice the sexual content as much. And yes there was quite a bit of sexual content. This book is not for the faint at heart. I was thoroughly surprised at this book. So much in fact that I downloaded the next one. You really get involved with the characters and want to know what happened. I loved Brian and Myrna. Yes they are weird and not a typical couple, but you feel they really love each other. And let's face it it's a book. The narrator did a pretty good job. Better than most. It's a wild hot story that takes you for a ride, I guarantee you won't be bored.
Sassy dialogue, humor, and a great reader are important to me.
"Oh for a Banana and a Sports Drink"
whoa, yes as it is great to hear all the guys interact
all the guys are oh so sexy. Eric is just plain funny with all his actions; banging his head on the table from room service, you will laugh your head off. Trace has got Brian's six.
Her males voice are pretty darn good. I was not going to buy the other stories until I finished one book! Nope, I got hooked after chapter 4 and purchased all of them!
Magically Delicious
Make no mistake, these are erotica and romance. These are not tame. Nice job of bring in the music world. Not sure how accurate, but nice job of mixing romance and a story.
"Loved this one!"
I have never read the print version but this audiobook was great. The narrator was wonderful and I can't wait to download the next one.
I can't pick one out, there were too many.
She is great. I've never listened to her before but I will put her on my favorite list.
Some part were a little beyond my verson of normal and not something I would do or want to do but the way it was told kept looking forward to what would happen next.
"erotic and interesting"
I enjoyed the story and find the story of other peoples desires very intriguing even if they are not my own views, makes me wonder what mine would be if I thought about it enough
as first audio books experience it is a little difficult to compare but look forward to comparing in the future
none in particular but was very intrigued in the feelings of brian for the woman he fell in love with and the length he went to too make her happy
"Great experience"
This was my first audio book and I was pleasantly surprised as I was dubious about audio and this book. However' I really enjoyed it. The actor was easy to listen to and characterized each character well. Great experience.

Dry Skin Dilemmas!
Q: I have dry skin. How often should I exfoliate my face—every day? Once a week? What do you recommend? And what time of the day, morning or night?
Illustrations by Lauren Friedman
A: For treating dry skin, exfoliating is as crucial as moisturizer, believe it or not. Especially as you start to age: The reason babies' skin is so beautiful is that their cell turnover rate is markedly more efficient than, say, even a 25-year-old's. And it only gets slower from there. Chemical exfoliants—retinol, alpha hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, for example—can be a great help, but physical ones—grains or brushes that actually scrub away dead skin cells—are important. I use retinol at night, then a physical exfoliant every other morning to smooth it all away.
I think the best time to exfoliate is in the shower. The steam loosens up skin cells, making the whole process infinitely less irritating and more effective. Plus, moisture … abounds in a shower, no? I alternate between the Clarisonic Mia (I use a little Nude jasmine oil cleanser with it, which smells amazing and is super-moisturizing) and the Fresh brown sugar face scrub, which is itself full of skin-softening oils, and the sugar melts soothingly as you scrub, so it's never harsh. As soon as I step out of the shower, I slap on more oil—I love Intelligent Nutrients—or moisturizer—Crème de la Mer rules if you can swing it. Before drying off, even. The quicker you get it on, the more moisture you seal in. And the plumper, dewier and comfier your skin remains, all day. PS: Don't forget the sunscreen. I put mine (Josie Maran) on over the oil or moisturizer.

This cleans pretty well, however, it stings my skin until I get it all rinsed off, and makes my skin feel more sensitive after using. I've switched back to Clean & Clear Sensitive Foaming Cleanser (it's the same formula as Purpose Gentle Cleanser), and am now using the Cetaphil to wash my makeup brushes.
This is my HG cleanser. I'm so passionate about this cleanser because it has really helped me. I started using this a couple months before I got on Retin-A and it did help as much as a cleanser could. In pair with Retin-A, my terrible cystic acne has completely cleared up and I rarely get a pimple! I love this cleanser so so much! I pair it with Purpose moisturizer from johnson & johnson. It's gentle, but gets the job done. I would recommend this to everyone!
i didnt noticed i got cleanser for oily skin.. i thought this wont cause me any bad issues but i was wrong, it made my skin oily after use and i didnt really clean my face.. i gave it to my brother who is acne prone but he didnt like it either so i just stocked it.. i tried the cleanser for dry skin but then it didnt really clean my face with makeup either, so i use that if i want to refresh my face and to moisture it.. i wont buy cetaphil ever again
I started using this stuff when I was on Accutane because I heard it was gentle and didn't dry out the skin. Two years later, it still lives up to its reputation. What I appreciate about this stuff as opposed to other face washes is that it doesn't contain silicic acid, which dries out your skin and does nothing to prevent long-term acne. Cetaphil is simple, affordable, and it does a great job keeping skin clean.
I was using Cetaphil's gentle cleanser and decided to try their formula for oily skin, thinking that it might be even better. No. It stung when I used my glycolic acid products afterward, whereas when I was using the gentle formula there was no stinging. After a couple of days the gentle areas of my face (around eyes and mouth) started to dry out. I immediately switched back to the gentler formula.

My brother had this in his bathroom, and i stole it one day because I was in need of a cleanser.
Boy, I'm glad I tried it. I really like this cleanser. It doesn't leave my skin so dry afterwards.
Highly recommend!
I had read reviews about this facial cleanser, and I almost didn't get it. I usually buy Spectro Jel Combination Skin Cleanser, but it didn't do a great job cleaning my skin anymore. I've gone through 4 bottles of Spectro Jel and just decided I wanted to try something different. I bought the Cetaphil Normal to Oily Skin Cleanser and was surprised by the scent. I thought that it would have a medicinal scent that stunk really bad. Honestly, I would preferred a medicinal scent over this disgusting faux baby powder smell (It is however, tolerable after several uses). When I first used it, I got a burning sensation around my nose area, but the rest of my face seemed OK. The 2nd time I used it, the burning sensation was minimal, didn't hurt as badly as the first time I used it. The more I use it, the less it burns. I hope that's a good sign that my face is adjusting to this product. I've used it for almost a week now and my skin is acne free and very soft. However, I think this cleanser might have been geared more towards people with oily skin, as I have normal skin and my face feels tight after usage. It will be a great cleanser during summer, but during winter I might have to get the Gentle Cleanser one.
I have acne and this does not help. It's just a simple gentle cleanser and if that's what you are looking for then buy it! It actually does a great job cleansing off my makeup. I do use acne medicated stuff though like Differin cream and this cleanser is perfect since it is such a basic product and the ingredients have never irritated me. I think this product is only in Canada because it only shows up on the cetaphil.ca website. The U.S one has like some daily facial cleanser that says normal to oily on it. I have acne prone that is very oily, but I have dry spots from acne medication. I use this cleanser on a daily basis. The price is pretty steep for a drugstore product but you get a lot of product in the 500ml. If you go on the Cetaphil site, they have coupons for $3 off the gentle cleanser, but I was able to buy the oily cleanser with the coupon because the employee didn't know. LOL! This product is a bit drying, but a moisturizer can help that.

I used to use this Cetaphil years ago and it worked well on my young, oily skin. Recently, I tried using it again and after a few days my skin was breaking out on my neck and my face was all red and dried out. So I threw it away. The Cetaphil for dry skin is more like a slimy lotion and does not remove makeup well at all. Either they have changed the formula or you had better not use this if you have roseacea, or sensitive skin. It may be better used by those with young skin. I went back to using Olay cloths and my skin looks much better.

IMMOKALEE, Fla. — Following Mexico's freeze-damaged production, Florida cucumber shippers say buyers should expect higher prices to carry on through early spring.
As cucumbers aren't planted until January, production escaped December freeze damage.
Brian Arrigo, president of Southern Corporate Packers Inc., said the Mexican freezes drastically changed cucumber prices.
"On the import deal, we went from seeing cucumbers where we almost couldn't give them away," he said. "But with the Mexican freeze, prices jumped $20-30 a case overnight. All indications are prices are going to remain this way through the duration if not get stronger until the Florida crop comes in with regular supplies."
Arrigo characterized Florida cucumbers as having excellent quality.
He said he expects the company's production to start in mid-March.
Brian Rayfield, vice president of sales and marketing for J&J Produce Inc., Loxahatchee, characterized plantings as strong in quality.
"As they're young and were planted not too long ago, they have a good stand and are growing well," he said in late February. "Everything has come up."
Though Florida bows out of cucumber production in January and February, Jeremiah Miller, a J&J salesman, said the low temperatures hurt offshore production in Honduras, and limited yields.
Rayfield said cucumbers won't production until late March and early April, which is typical for the spring.
He said south Florida hasn't experienced any unfavorable weather since the December freezes and said he expects strong volume and quality for the region's cucumber deal.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1 1/9-bushel cartons medium from the Central America and the Caribbean Basin in late February sold for $32-32.95 with cartons of 24s going for $12-12.85.
Last year in late February, the USDA reported 1 1/9-bushel cartons medium from Central America and the Caribbean Basin selling for $20 with cartons of 24s going for $8.
Adam Lytch, operations manager of Raleigh, N.C.-based L&M Cos. Inc., said he expects markets to remain strong as lower than normal Mexican volume continues through the spring, bringing higher prices.

Hay Springs, Nebraska, Aug 22, 2011 -- USDA Rural Development Nebraska State Director Maxine Moul recognized today in Northwestern Nebraska the efforts to promote renewable energy development during a tour of two 20-kilowatt wind turbines in the Hay Springs area, manufactured by Renewegy, LLC. The turbines, owned by Mike Van Buskirk of Y7, LLC and LYK Consulting, Inc., are used to offset the cost of electricity needed to run center pivot irrigation. When not in use to off-set the irrigation load, the energy generated is sold back into the grid.
"This project is a great example of looking outside the box to explore the utilization of local sources of renewable energy that can be used to offset fossil fuel for farming applications. Renewable energy systems come in all shapes and sizes and this application, while only utilizing directly the energy seasonally, is a great fit for this farming operation. We encourage farmers and business owners to explore their own energy portfolio and look for ways to incorporate renewable energy into the mix," said Nebraska State Director Maxine Moul, USDA Rural Development.
USDA Rural Development's Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) grant funding of $40,000 was used to offset 25 percent of the equipment and installation costs for the two turbines.
The turbines went online in November of 2010 and are being monitored for efficiency. Annual reporting of energy generation funded by the USDA REAP program is required and will provide educational benefits to others interested in installing similar systems.
"The two operational wind turbines are validation of the tremendous wind resource that is available to Western Nebraska. Farmers and ranchers can use wind to reduce escalating electricity costs for irrigation and other farm operations," said Mike Van Buskirk.

text: Village Litmanova in Slovakia is at a distance of 11 kilometers from the town Stara Lubovna. This village inhabited by only a few hundred families is almost entirely Greek (Byzantine) Catholic. They are in full communion with the Pope in Rome and the Catholic Church. The Greek Catholics who live here are of Carpatho-Rusyn nationality and speak a language called Rusyn. They also speak and understand Slovak. Since the 5th August 1990 until the 6th August 1995 on the mountain Zvir, less than 4 kilometers from the village, Our Lady kept appearing to two young girls – Ivetka Korcakova and Katka Ceselkova. Ivetka (born 1978) was a visionary to whom Our Lady used to give her messages. Katka (born 1977) during the apparitions from April 1991 she played the role of a witness. From this date she could see Our Lady, but she was not able to hear her. Apparitions took place in a hay-barn, in a small room (2,8 x 4 m). Girls received visits and messages from the Blessed Mother on every first Sunday of the month, which falls after the first Friday. Before the apparition both girls prayed at first, then Holy Virgin usually came like from the fog and she would generally sit on a narrow wooden bench at the wall. During the apparition girls had fallen into the ecstasy. They paid no attention to the surroundings and with a gentle smile gazed at the apparition. During these apparitions the Virgin Mary encourages the youths to attend Church services. She asks them to offer sacrifices combined with prayers in reparation for their sins, the sins of Slovakia, and the sins of the world. Apparitions on the mountain were accompanied by thousands pilgrims. About 100 meters from the hay-barn Holy Virgin blessed a well and she recommended to drink from this spring. According to testimonies of many witnesses the whole row of miracle recoveries apparently occurred.

We're having leftover tuna casserole from last week with crusty rolls and fruit salad. We're under a tornado watch, but have been all day without a drop of rain. Sure wish we'd get the rain and NOT the tornado watch! What are you having for dinner? |

Did some extra cooking yesterday. We're having homemade vegetable beef soup and bread. |
Two.25acres, I thought for sure I had vegetable beef soup in the freezer, but I couldn't find it this morning. I'm going to look again, but I think it was just wishful thinking! Enjoy--it sure sounds good |
We had cheeseburgers and potato salad. |
My dinner is main meal, noonish. Nightly is sweet and salty thick oatmeal. That's the way I like it. We will be under severe wind warnings, later tonight, with damages of trees falling, power outages and lots of rain. Should be gone by morning. |
Once in a while I buy frozen breaded fish fillets. This time instead of buying one of the 'brands', I got WalMarts brand. Had a couple for supper tonight and liked them better than the brand name. Also baked some sweet potato fries. Shirley |

I am making mini individual meatloafs with corn on the cob and fresh strawberries. I loaded up on the berries at Costco, strawberries, and blackberries, also got some beautiful nectarines, and pineapple, fruit salad coming soon! |
It's leftover turkey meatballs in a white sauce, pasta, fresh asparagus and sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. I had planned to make fruit salad but got busy and didn't get that done. |
Pam, sounds like a picnic and that's a good thing! I can't wait for spring. Glenda, did you venture out today for dinner? We know you--and probably many others--have their larger meal at noonish. It's really better for us to do it that way, but I'm a creature of habit from my working days. Wish I could overcome that! Tomorrow on the Recipes I'm sharing the best darned oatmeal, but you need a crockpot. I tried it out on Harry because his daughter doesn't eat any gluten or daIry. He really liked it, so I'll make it when they come in April. We're under a tornado watch until 8 p.m., so we'd both better batten down the hatches! Shirley, we like those frozen fish filets, especially the batter-dipped kind. I was in WMart one day on the frozen food aisle and the clerk that was restocking told me the NY Texas toast I was looking at was the very same as the WMart brand--and also told me their frozen vegetables were the same as Birds Eye. We mainly shop at Publix and I much prefer their brand to the name brands. Raven, aren't we just happy, happy when the fresh fruits are back in season? If there's a knock on your door, don't answer it--it's just us wanting to "share" your dinner!! |
Mamatoad, you are going to have one happy family. Sounds like another spring-like dinner! Yum!! |

I thought I would post a picture of the mini meatloaf ready to go into the oven. I would be happy to share my food with you! |
Meatloaf, gravy, mashed potatoes and broccoli. Dessert was glazed apple cream pie. |
OMG, Raven--and I would be so honored to join you. |
I stayed for Zumba after work & hadn't planned dinner. I stopped by one of our local restaurants and picked up a margarita pizza, then made a salad at home. |

Raven, that looks awesome.... yUMMM.. Larry is cooking fried wings, milk gravy, baked taters, and fixing a salad and some brussel sprouts for me.... That with yeast rolls hot from the oven... Dessert will be stawberries n cream again... Carolyn |
Homemade minestrone soup with a boatload of veggies, kidney and garbanzo beans. It was so flavorful and spicy. |
I cooked a leg of lamb this afternoon so we would have some for our trip. Dinner was lamb, steamed rice, curry sauce and green beans. |
Mild day today, but a storm system is expected to come in tomorrow. Either snow, if it's cold, or a mix of rain and snow if it stays mild. Tonite was homemade soup from the freezer (I had potato and hubby had cabbage. Roast beef sandwiches to go with it. |

Too much Oscar night. After I got home, I watched the Red Carpet on E! network. I was up until 1:30 and I had to play bridge today. I really didn't feel like cooking at all when I got home. I finished off the stroganoff and DH made himself a salad. Pam, I waited and waited for you to show up and accompany me and the desserts, but you never came! Patti, be careful with the oatmeal. I checked that out for a gluten free friend of mine and the article I read warned against oats saying that some are contaminated with wheat in the processing. You have to make sure the package states that it is gluten free. Just a heads up. |

Do You Have a Collection?
One of my happiness-project resolutions is to "Find more fun," and as part of trying to have more fun, I decided to start a collection. A collection provides a mission, a reason to visit new places, the excitement of the chase, a field of expertise (no matter how trivial), and, often, a bond with other people. It sounded like so much fun.
There are two kinds of collectors. The first kind seeks to have a complete set — of stamps, of coins, of Barbie dolls—and keeps a comprehensive and orderly kind of collection. The second kind of collector is driven by sheer desire, by the siren call of objects.
My mother, of the second camp, has a tremendous knowledge and passion for objects and materials; she spends a lot of time visiting museums and walking through stores. Her collections of Tartanware, Royal Beyruth porcelain tomatoes, and in particular, her collection of Santa Clauses, are a tremendous source of fun for her. (And also me, because a few times, she's given me her collections – like her magnificent Halloween decorations).
I wanted to start a collection — but what should I collect? I didn't have enough passion to justify an expensive collection, and I didn't want to collect junk. In the end, I decided to collect blue birds, because blue birds are a symbol of happiness. As far as I know, this connection arose from Maurice Maeterlinck's play, The Blue Bird (also an excellent movie starring Shirley Temple).
So now I have a blue bird collections, of sorts. I sort of enjoy having a collection, but not as much as I thought I might. Do you have a collection that is a source of fun for you? What do you collect, and why?
The days are long, but the years are short.

I'm seeking brand recommendations for a window AC unit for a 12'x18' (216 sq ft) workshop, with open stud walls that have been insulated. My primary requirement is a quiet unit, along with suggestions about the feasibility of AC/Heater combo units. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you want quiet and efficiency, consider a mini split instead. It will, however, cost more. |
- Posted by energy_rater_la (My Page) on Sat, Oct 15, 11 at 10:50
you can purchase heat pump window units. cools in summer action reverses to heat in winter. cost a little more, but works well. probably cost you $500. p-tac unit could also work. and is available in hp also. mini split is quiter, costs less to operate but prices approximate. you should do some air sealing to make it best of luck. |

I moved to MD in the late summer of 2009 but I didn't garden because I lived in a tiny apartment. I just moved to a beautiful house out in the country and I'm ready to get some serious gardens going (vegetable and flower). Since I'm still kind of new to the area I was looking for suggestions on who (locally) has good seed selections? I'm in Mt. Airy (between B-more and Fredrick) but I work in Rockville and Mrs. sdrawkcab works in Beltsville just past College Park so we're all over the place on a regular basis. I remember the Behnke on Rt. 1 has a pretty decent spring seed selection but who else has a selection worth checking out?
On a related note- Is there a local seed exchange for PA/MD/DC/VA people? I know there is a whole GW forum about seed trading but it seems like there are enough 'local' people that a face-to-face seed swap could be possible. Thanks in advance,

Have you noticed the exchange page on this forum? Some of us also did a seed swap in early January. And our local biggie is the Spring Swap, usually at Gardenganma's in Burtonsville, looks like mayybe May 14 where there will be seeds, plants, garden stuff, food and good company. |

A creamy, soothing curry made with cauliflower, onions and tomatoes in a mildly-flavoured white base. Onion, ginger and chillies together give the curry a very pleasant flavour without any overpowering spices. It is interesting to note that the 'creamy' consistency is brought about using a combination of cornflour and milk, and without typically rich ingredients like butter or cream; this makes the Creamy Cauliflower relatively easier to digest too.

Scriptaculous and In-line Styling
OK, well I've just started using JS frameworks, and I really like what Scriptaculous can do. The only gripe I have with it is some of the effects require in-line styling (something which I would like to avoid).
For example:
Code:HTML:

 CSS: #tobeblinded { display: block; } JS: Effect.BlindDown('tobeblinded');
the Effect.BlindDown function requires the element to be ofdisplay: block;
in your CSS definition file. However, if I want an element to be hidden when the page is loaded, the function won't work properly unless you do something like this:

It may just be me, but I dislike seeing messy divs like that. Is there any alternative?
What I originally had was the div hidden in the CSS definition, but when I tried using the blinddown effect, it was non-functional.

Second victim in Gary shooting dies
By Lori Caldwell email@example.com | 648-3258 January 16, 2013 9:43AM
Updated: February 19, 2013 1:54PM
GARY — Deshalone Williams, 18, the second victim shot Monday night by a man who asked for a ride, died late Tuesday night.
Williams was driving his friend Terrell Frazier, 21, about 10 p.m. when they stopped at a gas station at 15th Avenue and Clark Road.
There, witnesses said, Williams spoke to a man and shook his hand, then apparently agreed to give him a ride.
After traveling a few blocks north on Clark Road, the gunman asked to get out of the car. He shot both Frazier and Williams in the head.
Frazier died about 6:40 a.m. Tuesday at the Methodist Hospitals Northlake campus.
Williams was pronounced dead there at 11:10 p.m. Tuesday, a spokesman for the Lake County coroner said.

I'm only 22, so you would think, why would you be using an eye treatment that's not intended for my age, although this was given to me i am still shocked that these revitalizing pads cost about AU$150, that's pretty expensive.
I do like the chilled feeling it gives me and afger a big weekend or a stressful week at work, it's good to wind down for 15 minutes with these.
I wouldn't buy these in the future but it's a great experience that at least needs to be tried once.
When your done with them, put them back on the white backing, and into the foil wrapping and try get up to 3 wears from the one set of pads. Who-ever suggested putting them in the fridge is correct - they realy do sooth, lift and refreshen your what ever state your eyes are in.
I don't find this product useful. It doesn't do anything for puffiness, if anything, it would make your eyes look more swollen, due to its "plumping" effect. As for the dark circles, it dramatically "erases" the brownish pigmentation underneath eyes, so you could be left with pink (or blue?) patches around your eyes, which isn't exactly great if you have matte or yelowish skin tone (the kind of skin people with dark circles normally have). It hydrates, but so do the eye creams.
With two words, if you have no particular problems in the under-eye area, and a big purse, enjoy yourself! The jar of "veil" that comes with it is very nice.
More reviews by CantMAKEUPmyMlND
I am 21, therefore, not exactly a LP "target" customer, but I do love their products.
The Eye Treatment Pads are sold together with the Eye Veil (which I did a seprate review for) for $125US. There are 10 packs to a set, and each pack contains 4 pads - 2 for the upper eye and 2 for the lower eye.
These Eye Pads are wonderful. I do not have problems with lines/wrinkles, but my eyes tend to look VERY tired after a long night or under stress. The pads have been nothing but wonderful to help fix it! The hydration from the pads is wonderful, my eye area does not look sallow after removing them. For added enjoyment, I pop these in the refridgerator and put them on chilled. It's a nice spa-like treatment at home.
I have also found that if you put back the pads on the sheet and back into the foil package and seal it up really well, you can get 2-3 uses out of each pack. Combined with the Eye Veil, this is a really great option for younger girls who party hard but don't want to look like it the day after! :) continued >>
I absolutely love this eye mask . it gives my eyes an instant " lift"
The veil that comes with it is simply gorg. I would def buy again but will only keep it as a monthly treatment as it is so expensive.
FYI I don't have dark circles or bags under my eyes. So i really don't know if it will work miracles on someone who does. Hope this helps !
It IS expensive. And it IS suppose to be a quick fix only (according to La Pairie's web site). I had not been using eye cream religiously when I was younger. Now that I am 30, I found a couple really deep lines under my eyes. I also suffer from dark circles and dehydration around my eyes. After I applied these pads, I saw an instant result! My eyes look well hydrated, well-rested and the dark circles diminished. It's extremely pricy, so I will only save them for those special occasions or maybe once a month pampering.
Bought this hoping it would be my HG dark circle-puffiness miracle cure. Alas, I am allergic to something in these pads--I pulled them off and looked worse than if I'd been crying for hours. They didn't make the circles worse, but I was so very puffy...
I realize that probably very few people will react as badly as I did, but if your skin is at all sensitive you may wish to beware.
oh, how can i forget to review this. I have serious dark circle and eyebag problem resulted from years long sleep deprivation (with extremely long hour of computer usage).Used the whole 10 sets and everything is still there. I dont expect miracle but, there's simply no effect at all. will not buy it again.
After hearing all the rave on this product, I decided to try it. Yes, it is like a sticker on your eyes and can be quite uncomfortable. However, the results speak for themselves!! My eye was plumper, hydrated, dark circles almost disappeared. BUT the next morning the immediate result had faded and the dark circles reappeared and eyes actually felt tired. I have fairly dark circles under my eyes and also have been lots of late nights and I face the computer the whole day at work. So I think I need a few more of this eye mask to sort it out first before any real result. I like the feel of the mask and it helps me to relax my eyes so will keep at it. Fingers crossed that my eyes will improve!

Hello All:
I am posting this to a few forums I participate and look at daily.Nebgranny98: First I am asking for some ideas to brighten up a Nursing Home I visited not long ago. Both the environment and some ideas of things that might brighten up the residents lives. I know homes are one of the saddest places on earth , but sure would like to help brighten the lives of the folks we saw there. I saw so much sadness in the eyes of these people. My friend and I were there this past Friday. We talked about what we could do to help out. We decided to adopt this nursing home and try and make things a little happier for the folks we saw there. One of the ideas I thought of last night while trying to sleep was to post on this forum and ask for suggestions.I lurk and have been a member of this forum for three years now.
If you think this a worthy project and want to be a part , please e-mail me and I will e-mail you with needed information. Thanks NebGranny98 |

Hey, You! Pee On A Stick Before You Drink That Beer!
- A Republican (obviously) politician in Alaska wants the state to pay for pregnancy tests in restaurants and bars so women can find out if they are pregnant before drinking. You will be shocked, shocked to know State Senator Pete Kelly opposes abortion and doesn't want to increase access to contraception because it's only for women "who don't want to act responsibly." Using taxpayer money to put millions of pee-sticks in every establishment that sells alcohol in the state? Responsible. Dudebro literally wants Alaska to become a urination-focused police state where all women are considered to be possible incubators for a fetus. Good luck with that! [Huffington Post] Keep reading »
A Brief History Of The Pregnancy Test
I was commenting on how packaged pregnancy tests resemble fruit roll ups when my mother told me scientists once injected bunnies with a woman's urine to determine whether or not she was pregnant.
"A rabbit?" I was a little stunned by the idea of poor, floppy-eared, innocent rabbits getting shot up with pee. "Oh yeah!" My mother said nodding. "People used to say, well, the rabbit died. And everyone would know she was pregnant."
An episode of "M*A*S*H" even made reference to the practice when Hot Lips thought she might be pregnant and the only available test was via Radar's unsuspecting pet rabbit Fluffy.
This method seemed so bizarre to me, that I was compelled to learn more about the history of pregnancy tests. Click on to see what kind of crazy stuff I discovered.
Is Posting YouTube Vids Of Your Pregnancy Test Sweet Or Creepy?
Taking a pregnancy test isn't glamorous. There's the peeing part, of course, then the waiting, then the rush of emotions that comes when the pink or blue line—or plus or minus sign or whatever—pops into view. One would think women would want this to remain a private moment, like most things that take place in the bathroom should be. But that is just not the case. Many women are recording themselves taking pregnancy tests and posting the vids on YouTube. Even stranger—thousands of people are watching said videos. Slate.com has dubbed this phenomenon WombTube.

Pregnant In Public: Where Did You Pee On A Stick?
When Sally was seven weeks pregnant, her doctor said he was 99% sure she'd had a miscarriage. But she didn't want to believe him. So in the restroom of a restaurant in San Francisco, she peed on a stick (or seven) and against all her expectations, got two blue lines.
Meanwhile, my friend Cat was so eager to find out whether she was with child that she dashed into the local Burger King toilet to take a test, despite being a vegetarian.
And Linda took her test in a supermarket restroom on the way to a Weight Watchers meeting… which she never got around to going to.
I used to think that pregnancy was a pretty private thing – at least until the belly starts to pop and strangers want to rub it. My mom and other women of her generation all went to their gynecologist or the privacy of their own bathrooms if they wanted to know if they were knocked up or not. Keep reading »

Criminalization of dissent spreads to the internet: OPP arrest AW@L member for blog post about G20 police infiltration
August 30th, 2011
Criminalization of dissent spreads to the internet:
OPP arrest AW@L member for blog post about G20 police infiltration
Kitchener, Grand River Territory –On August 25th 2011, AW@L member and independent journalist Dan Kellar was pulled over and arrested by detectives from the OPP's Anti-Rackets Branch (ARB)—the same unit that has been involved in arresting six other AW@L members and more than a dozen others in connection with G20 related allegations.
From Kitchener, Kellar was taken to the OPP station in Cambridge where he was charged with 2 counts of unlawfully publishing materials that is likely to injure the reputation of an undercover officer in a way that is designed to insult the officer (also known as criminal defamation), and one count of counseling his blog followers to commit the indictable offence of assault which offence was not committed (also known as counsel to assault). Kellar was released to a crowd of friends and supporters, with various bail conditions including restrictions limiting internet usage.
Kellar is alleged to have written a blog post on peaceculture.org (AW@L's website) which reported the sighting of a man known to activists as "Khalid Mohamed", who infiltrated social justice groups in Southern Ontario over the past 2 years. Khalid Mohamed was identified on the website snitchwire.com, in a posting from July 2010, as being an undercover police officer.
The OPP ordered Kellar to remove the post from AW@L's website as a condition for his release. He is also to stay more than 500 meters from Khalid Mohamed and Brenda Doherty, another person known by activists to be an undercover police officer, also named in Kellar's post and on snitchwire.com. Kellar's post on peaceculture.org, included the phrase, "spit in his foot steps and scoff at his existence," and also referred to Khalid Mohamed as "garbage." These were the only allegedly injurious statements contained in the post.
"There is obviously no crime here," said AW@L member Rachel Avery. "This is yet another example of the police trying to criminalize speech when they don't like what we're saying," she concluded.
The lead officer on Kellar's August 25 arrest, OPP ARB Detective-Sergeant John vanden Heuvel, threatened to track down and arrest anyone who reposted the message.
D/Sgt vanden Heuvel is the same detective who, along with more than a half-dozen OPP officers, arrested AW@L member Alex Hundert for speaking on a University panel in Toronto last September 17. He is also the same detective who threatened the sureties of several G20 defendants after accused activists conducted interviews with media outlets.
Dan Kellar's arrest comes amidst a crackdown on dissent that began prior to the Toronto G20 summit in June 2010 and which brought infiltrators to community groups in southern Ontario and across the country. Many organisers, including a number from AW@L, were targeted for arrest during the weekend of the summit and are still facing charges. But after a billion-dollar security budget, an overwhelming majority of the 1100 arrested during the G20 were not even charged, being merely swept off the street in an attempt to curb protests.
Davin Charney, founder of the Centre for Police Accountability and also Dan Kellar's lawyer, speaking about these charges, said that "Criminal defamation is a section of the criminal code that is rarely used, easily subject to abuse and historically originates in initiatives by the Crown to criminalize political opposition."
Emily Slofstra, a supporter of AW@L and former volunteer at the now defunct KW Community Centre for Social Justice said, "Kellar's arrest sends yet another a message to activists that we are indeed living in a climate where dissent is surveilled and criminalized, and further, that acting to protect our own communities will be met with animosity from the system."
Slofstra added, "As the impacts of austerity measures, racist immigration policies and the Conservative's 'Law and Order' agenda are used as premises for police crackdowns in already targeted communities, we have ever-increasing need to support and protect each other."

*This release was put together without input from Dan Kellar; he did not cause this release to be written or posted.
The G8/G20 meetings took place in Ontario from June 25-27, 2010. Toronto-based organizations of women, people of colour, indigenous peoples, the poor, the working class, queer and trans people and disabled people organized a peoples convergence with 40,000 people taking to the streets, standing up for justice in collaboration and solidarity!
Activists, community members, inspired and outraged individuals came together as a movement to demand justice for people and the planet. Over a week of mobilizations, events, workshops and direct actions took place in the face of state and police repression, violence and infringements on rights and freedoms.
We must continue to mobilize and build greater solidarity among our communities- an important part of this is supporting all those arrested during the G20 summit, including our allies still in detention, and those released on bail.
