Games, eh? They're liable to throw a few surprises your way, and whether it's the Nemesis crashing through the walls of Raccoon City or Silent Hill's sexy zombie nurses, games shock. In many different ways, and here are PSW's 100 of the best (in no particular order)...
1. Resident Evil 4 plays the scary bagman
So there you are, minding your own business, fending off crazed villagers, picking up ammo, shooting red crystals, the usual stuff. Just trying to work out what the fudge happened here, when all of a sudden the buzz of a chainsaw cuts through the air, and lurching towards you is a raving nutter with a potato sack over his head. You back off, frantically reloading your gun. Stalking you throughout the game, Sackhead is miles better than the Nemesis and just as scary as Pyramid Head.
2. Sergeant Jackson's untimely death in Call Of Duty 4
Just when you think you're the hero following the brave rescue of a downed chopper pilot from enemy-infested streets, a nuclear blast goes off and engulfs your own escape helicopter. Killing off one of the main good guys is a brave move in itself, but having you control him as he crawls out of the wreckage, takes one last look at the radiation-swept town and slumps to the ground is quite moving.
3. The realisation that MotorStorm at E3 was 'target footage'
Oh my god! Those cars, they're like photos. Such was the acclaim that greeted the world's first glimpse of MotorStorm after Sony showed a trailer of the 'game'. Only it was an optimistic pointer of what the game SHOULD look like, and not what it actually did look like. Sony had pulled the wool over our eyes, critics and Sony's rivals had a field day.
4. The size of the cutscenes in MGS4
Everyone knew they were going to be big, but no one thought they would be that big. Luckily, the actual game bits were good enough to wait for, yet even after hours of non-playable stuff, the final Hollywood-baiting epic of a cut-scene had us numb-arsed, red-eyed and wondering at Hideo Kojima's gall.
5. The 'zombie level' in Half-Life 2
Even after its brilliant AI, physics, weaponry and atmosphere, Half-Life 2 still managed to floor us with its total change of tone as we entered Ravenholm, walking straight into a night-time horror starring shambling zombies and face-sucking head crabs. It was terrifying.
6. Tony Hawk's does Jackass in Tony Hawk's Underground 2
Between the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games, and Proving Ground and Project 8, the series lost its way when it gave Jackass jerk Bam Margera a role in THUG2. The 'plot' has you joining Team Hawk and going up against Team Bam in a skating-and-stunts tour that ends with Margera showing his arse. Hilarious.
7. Beijing 2008 causes more than a few sports injuries
We've had our fingers burnt by button bashers before, but Beijing 2008 was something else. Just to qualify for some events required a monumental amount of digital dexterity on our part.
8. Taking Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 online
Offline, PES2008 was generally good. Online, it was a different story. The series' debut on PS3 was supposed to be a glorious homecoming. Instead, it was a different story. The framerate dropped so low it was like watching a stop-motion animation, while bizarre glitches meant players teleported about the pitch - including the goalkeeper, usually just before making a save.

Gear Review
This runs very big
I am 5'4" 156lbs, 31" waste. I have a broad chest and wide shoulders and a 66" reach. I ordered a medium and it was huge on me. Medium shirts and hoodies fit snug. This hung down to mid thigh, hung over my hands and draped off my shoulders. I could pull the jacket 8-10" from my chest when buttoned up. I will be returning it for a small.
I will re-review once I receive a smaller one.
Over all quality was ok.

I drove up to Vancouver B.C. last weekend to pick up my husband after he rode his bike up there in the RSVP event. I took Bridget, our rambunctious Wheaten terrier, who was welcomed and made over everywhere we went. The staff at the Sylvia Hotel gave her biscuits, even after she had an impromptu play date in the lobby with a pair of glamorous Saluki hounds.
I had dinner with Tom Hobbs and Brent Beattie, before a tour of their cool new urban condo - stay tuned for a story and photos of their fresh new aesthetic in Seattle Times' Pacific Northwest magazine.
I try not to be envious about how civilized Canada is - they are so far ahead of us, and not just in how dogs are welcome nearly everywhere. They have gun control, efficient public transportation and equitable, affordable health care, as well as flowers everywhere. How about this updated take on bedding out in the West End? Notice how beautifully these plantings are maintained in a very busy public park.

Rehwaldt, Haddix to speak to Republican women about mass transit bill
The Greater Fayette Republican Women's Club will hold a dinner meeting on Thursday, Oct. 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the Broadway Diner, 535 South Glynn Street, Fayetteville. The guest speakers will be Don Rehwaldt, Mayor of Tyrone, and Don Haddix, Mayor of Peachtree City, who will discuss the impact of HB 277, the Transformation Investment Act of 2010, on Fayette County. HB 277 is a transportation bill which has been approved by the GA State Legislature and will appear on the ballot this November. Voters will decide if they want to pay a 1 percent tax increase to fund this mass transportation bill.
All Republican women, their families, and friends are invited. No reservations are necessary.
For more information, please call Debby Dickinson, 404-376-4132 or Alberta Lucas, 770-719-0879.
TSPLOST will not be on the November ballot. The Roundtable will not even vote until December on the criterion recommendations that will go to the State Director.
The vote to place it on the ballot will not occur until well into 2011. If the Roundtable votes no it will not go on the ballot. If they approve it it will be on the 2012 ballot.
Not everyone can afford to pay Fayette County taxes and Fulton, Clayton, Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb and etc. taxes, too.
I guess inflation, the recession (depression), home foreclosures, and job losses haven't affected some folks, namely most politicians.
It looks like some politicians are trying to follow in the foot steps of the Big Apple and turn Atlanta into the Big Peach. Is that what folks in Fayette County want? I DON'T THINK SO!
The main reason folks live in Fayette County is because they don't want to be a part of Fulton, Clayton, Gwinnett, Cobb, DeKalb, and etc. With the lunacy of HB 277 we will be tied to Atlanta and the surrounding counties by a ribbon of concrete and a trail of taxes forevermore. HB 277 will build the outer perimeter and we can all choke to death on gas and diesel fumes.
Don't vote against this SPLOST for transportation until you have read it and seen what it does to improve and remove autos from the road.
It is going to get soon so badly congested that it might take hours to get to work in the Atlanta area.
Do not let racial matters sway you too much.
Also, don't do like some have about the Fayetteville bypasses and let a SPLOST bill pass, then decide to read it!
And most of all don't be influenced by the radicals who do not want any more improvements or involvement by state government in anything---improvement or not! (I think all they want is votes, they don't care about TEA!)
I see major legal battles over this one. It's entrapment. We really have no vote.
Everyone gets to vote on this too so I really don't understand your point.
Taxes get raised all the time and people who voted against raising them still have to pay for them. No county can "opt out" of this if it is approved, but so what? Most taxation done by states don't allow for cities/counties to opt-in or opt-out.
This bill was heavily supported through the GA House and Senate by Dems, Repubs, employers, big biz, and even residential groups and probably the most bi-partisan bill to come through the GA legislature in quite a while.
Now, the voters get to have their say.
The very fact we share a regional government with Clayton, Fulton, Dekalb, etc. is ridiculous.

The Netherlands move is complete and all is well. I've been here for two and a half weeks and am adjusting nicely. I'm certainly looking forward to the arrival of our sea-shipment from the States in three or four weeks because it has more furniture and good stuff like wool and my drum carder and yarn. Right now it feels a bit like we are camping in our new place. We have an airbed and camp chairs until we can get permanent stuff. Happily, there is an Ikea delivery that should happen tomorrow so we will have a couch and dining room table and chairs. The kitchen has all the essentials so we're able to cook at home, which is nice, though not having an oven or freezer will take some time to get used to.
We have a lovely, if rather unruly, garden that I enjoy. There are frequent new surprises to be discovered regularly as spring unfolds and flowers bloom.
A few close-ups:
I have a pup to keep me company:
And my wheel to keep my hands busy:
There is, of course, much more to report but this is all the time I have right now. We don't have internet at the house, yet, and have to go to various hotspots around town to get connected. We should have internet at home next week, though, so email and blog postings can happen with predictable frequency.

I said it was complicated. Medicare does NOT cover either the pods or the DexCom sensors. However, in order for my secondary insurance to cover them as they were doing before I was on Medicare and when they were my primary insurance, I must have a denial of coverage from Medicare. Then, now that I use Liberty, I pay $1000 deductible and they pay 80% of the cost of the pods and sensors. I thought I understood that your Medicare Advantage Plan through BC/BS paid for your pods. But that's new, correct? I know that I can't change plans until the end of 2012 but in the meantime, I can be looking for the right plan for me. Again, thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info, I'll investigate more thoroughly to see what I can find like that. When my employee plan was BC/BS it was not very satisfactory. Changing would would mean leaving the healthcare plan I had when I worked with which I was very satisfied but as you can see, it's quite expensive.

I had posted these pics in another thread, in response to my idiot mistaking Canna for Strelitzia but the final bloom pic is so nice, I thought it didn't deserve to be missed by being lost at the bottom of some other thread.
Here's that bloom'n Canna: And here's what it looked like just prior to blooming: |
Follow-Up Postings:
And the answer is ... Canna Flacida, the Golden or Yellow Canna |
This Canna x generalis 'Tropicanna' that I just bought was only buds at the time. After a day of watering it started to bloom ... And it was sooooo fast ... that it seemed to happen while I watch'n and taking the pictures ... Oh my! |
It is wonderous strange where the Canna form their seed pods, below where the flower was on the stem ... The Canna Flacida bloom shown above dropped off and the pod formed below it. It also looks kind of like it will bloom again with what look like new flower buds above the pods. |

MinuteClinic is back.
Eight years after withdrawing its first proposal, on Friday the company applied for state approval to open health clinics in seven CVS drugstores in Rhode Island.
Staffed by nurse practitioners, MinuteClinics provide walk-in care for routine problems, such as skin rashes, sore throats, colds, ear infections and sinus infections, at a comparatively low cost and with evening and weekend hours.
Such "retail clinics," typically located in drugstores, have become popular nationwide for their convenience. MinuteClinic is the biggest group, with 750 clinics in 27 states, including Massachusetts and Connecticut. The company is owned by CVS/Caremark and headquartered in Woonsocket.
Some physicians say that retail clinics disrupt the doctor-patient relationship and threaten the economic well-being of poorly reimbursed primary care doctors. A Rhode Island Medical Society position paper describes retail-clinic care as "isolated commercial transactions between strangers."
MinuteClinic had proposed to open five retail clinics in Rhode Island in 2005, but withdrew amid opposition from doctors. At the time, the company was growing rapidly and preferred to focus its efforts elsewhere, but its officials promised to return.
On Friday, MinuteClinic made good on that promise, filing its 275-page license application with the state Department of Health.
"We can help contribute as a part of the team here in Rhode Island," said Dr. Andrew J. Sussman, MinuteClinic president.
Retail clinics fulfill a need at a time when primary care practitioners are in short supply, a shortage that can only worsen with tens of thousands obtaining insurance thanks to the Affordable Care Act, Sussman said.
He noted that half of MinuteClinic patients arrive in the evening or weekend, when their doctors are not available. "We provide access. We're open on holidays. We have evening hours," he said.
But Dr. Elizabeth B. Lange, a pediatrician and immediate past chairman of the Health Department's Primary Care Advisory Council, said that the MinuteClinics may work against the "patient-centered medical home," a team-based style of care being widely adopted in Rhode Island.
When a patient gets care at a retail clinic, the patient misses an important opportunity to interact with his or her regular caregiver, Lange said. The patient may want to soothe a rash or earache, but the doctor is also quietly looking to see if he's up to date on immunizations or needs a blood-pressure check, she said.
"Any care received outside of the medical home is a disruption to continuity of care and comprehensiveness of care," Lange said.
On the contrary, Sussman said, MinuteClinics "support the patient-centered medical home.…We see a lot of people who don't have a primary care physician and are medically homeless." The clinics provide such patients with a list of local primary care doctors who are accepting new patients. For those who have doctors, the clinics send a full report to the doctor.
"We're complementary to the primary care practice, helping to fill the gaps so patients don't go unnecessarily to the emergency room," Sussman said.
Doctors also complain that MinuteClinics tend to set up shop in well-to-do areas, avoiding needy patients.
Most of the MinuteClinics proposed for Rhode Island would go in wealthy or suburban parts of Cranston, North Smithfield, East Greenwich, Providence, Wakefield and Westerly. The one exception is the CVS across the street from Landmark Medical Center in Woonsocket.
But Sussman said that MinuteClinic is applying to participate in Medicaid so it can take care of low-income patients, and also has agreed to provide free care to patients of the Rhode Island Free Clinic.

Benin but also for all of the cotton producing countries, in Geneva and on issues of development.
This is my first opportunity, actually, to have met the Ambassador because I am new to my position at the U.S. Trade Representatives Office. I have only been there for little more than a month, but early in my tenure meeting Ambassador Amehou was recommended to me as being something that should be high on my list. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to do so today.
Let me also thank the NGOs (non-governmental organizations) who are organizing today's event. It is a very important topic, and I am delighted to be part of the discussion today. Let me also thank the ministers who I know are going to be participating in this dialogue during the course of today. I see that we've been joined by Minister Ngarmbatina from Chad, who I had the pleasure of visiting with in Burkina Faso recently, and it's a great pleasure to see her here again. Thank you, Madam Minister.
Finally, let me just mention that I'm accompanied today by a team from the U.S. Government from a number of different agencies including the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. State Department and other agencies. I encourage you to interact with them after this meeting.
Let me again reiterate how happy I am to be here today and how important I believe this topic is. Recently, I had the opportunity to join Ambassador Portman, our U.S. Trade Representative, and our Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns on a trip to Burkina Faso, where we had the opportunity to meet with the representatives from all of the major West African cotton-producing countries. We also had the opportunity while there to visit with cotton farmers and producers and to witness the ginning processes there. It was a very, frankly, moving trip and an important trip for us. We have been vigorously engaged in the cotton issue for some period of time, but there is no replacement to actually getting out and interacting with producers in their home country. I thought that was a very helpful visit.
I can tell you, both before and after that trip, the issue of cotton has not diminished from our minds in its importance. I have had, I can tell you, a conversation or meeting with either a minister from one of the C4, or C5 if you were to include Senegal, countries. We're meeting with their ambassadors -- every day since that trip we have been speaking with them in Brussels, in Geneva, in Washington, in West Africa. Simply said, there is no lack of recognition of the importance of the issue. I should tell you that there are more meetings scheduled for this week, and I am optimistic that we can make some good progress in addressing the cotton issue.
With that, let me say, Hong Kong is not Cancun. It is not Cancun because the cotton issue is not cropping up for the first time. We have been paying attention to this issue for a while, and frankly I think there has been significant amount of progress. We are a lot closer than we certainly were in Cancun, which does not mean that there is not a lot of work left to be done, especially to alleviate the fundamental causes of poverty that underlie the cotton issue. But I do think that we have made a lot of progress and that we are closer than some would think.
Let me just briefly talk about things that the United States has done, both acting unilaterally and then acting multilaterally. Unilaterally, we have in the past year alone undertaken a radical change -- the elimination of our Step 2 cotton subsidy program, a program that provided hundreds of millions of dollars worth of subsidies to U.S. cotton farmers. We have moved to eliminate that program. The elimination is being finalized in Congress as we speak.
Secondly we have reformed our export credit guarantee programs. These are programs that were designed to encourage exports of U.S. cotton. Those have been substantially reformed to reduce their trade-distorting effects. Of course, we maintain and indeed are expanding our AGOA preferences every year to encompass new African countries, which give them substantial access for most of the products to our markets. So we continue to act unilaterally.
We also have taken action multilaterally. Ambassador Amehou, who referenced I think the proposal that the United States put forward on October 10th, but frankly I think this is perhaps one of the most significant proposals to be put forward for agricultural reform in the history of global trade negotiations. Leaving aside its broader significance, it is also a proposal that I think is directly responsive to what we had understood to be the core concerns of the cotton growing economies.
There were three core trade issues that had been specified to us, and again Ambassador Amehou did a very good job of laying this out: The issue of market access, the issue of export subsidies, and the issue of domestic supports. The agricultural reform proposal that we advanced addressed all three issues, and it did so dramatically. We have proposed to eliminate export subsidies. We propose to do it by 2010 but, as we have said, are happy to meet ambition with ambition. We had proposed to eliminate our domestic supports in tiers, first of all to substantially reduce them and then to eliminate them. And in the area of market access, which frankly we believe is perhaps the most critical area to development, we have proposed substantial and meaningful cuts in tariffs that would allow not only cotton producers, but producers of all agricultural products, substantially greater access, not just to developed country markets but to important developing country markets.
We believe that our proposal meets again these core demands. There may be issues that we have on timing. Ambassador Amehou addressed that issue. Those are issues that we are happy to engage our trading partners on, indeed we look forward to doing so. It has been disappointing to us that we have not seen a more vigorous reaction back from some of our developed country partners, more ambitious reactions back. Indeed, we think that is the key to opening the agricultural negotiations and thereby arriving at solutions that will benefit not just cotton farmers, but farmers of all products all over the world.
I was speaking with others in the audience here who represent farmers of cocoa, of palm oil, of other commodities. We need to remember the importance of those farmers as well. But let us, at the end of the day, have no doubt on one key fact that is critical, I think, to this discussion. The Ambassador laid out that we need to eliminate subsidies. We agree. And this is alone, I think, perhaps the most significant change from Cancun. We do not disagree on that point. We want to eliminate them. We agree that it is the right thing for us and the right thing for global development. We stand and await a bold proposal from some of our developed partners that would enable us to get to that conclusion.
There is some level of frustration over pace -- I recognize that – at the speed at which we are moving. No one is more frustrated than we are on that. It would be our deepest desire that at Cancun we be able to close the modalities for an agricultural round that would enable us to quickly move to resolution, to undertake the kinds of reforms that we are talking about. We do need to move faster. Again, we hope that there will be sufficient forward progress in those negotiations this week that will allow us to do that. In the interim, of course, we remain in ready dialogue, in constant dialogue, with our C4 partners.
Let me pause for a moment though to talk now about not just trade, because trade – while important – is not the whole story here. But to talk also about aid and assistance and development. Subsidies that we have talked about are important, but they are not the only answer. We could get rid of subsidies today, and it would not raise the cotton farmers out of poverty. The impact that has been assessed in terms of if you got rid of subsidies, what would the impact be on global cotton markets, has ranged – the IMF has estimated it to be 2-3%, the FAO is in the same area. Regardless, even if those were taken out and we had the reduction, the increase in global prices and the improvement in productivity – our concern is that it will not alleviate the poverty of the West African cotton farmer, and that must be our goal.
It is in that regard that we focused our attention vigorously over the past several years on trying to promote more effective production of cotton and more effective distribution and marketing of cotton. To that end, there have been a number of initiatives that I will point out briefly. We can talk in greater detail about them. The first is our African Global Competitiveness Initiative, which is devoting $1 billion [correction: the AGCI commitment is $200 million over five years, not $200m annually over five years] to the creation of trading hubs in Africa designed to improve export performance of agricultural products including the cotton sector.
There is the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Program that we launched just two months ago, which is an additional $1 billion over a five-year period to implement agricultural reform programs. There is a West African cotton improvement program that we have just created and we are looking to expand that is targeted particularly to the needs of the West African cotton farmer, including in such key areas as improving crop performance, pest resistance, irrigation practices. My colleagues from USDA can describe them in greater detail.
Our goal here is to address the question of why is it that the West African cotton farmer is only getting a yield that is approximately 50% of what the developed country cotton farmer is getting. That has to be our priority. We must make our West African cotton farmers more productive and more efficient. That will be a key goal for us.
Then there is – as many of you may have heard – the President's major initiative in what is called the Millennium Challenge Account. This is a new way of conceiving of aid and assistance designed to foster growth in eligible countries targeted in ways that they themselves design. I'm delighted to tell you that four of the C5 countries are now eligible for MCA funding. One, Benin, is on the verge of completing its compact, which will result in hundreds of millions of dollars flowing to Benin for purposes of port improvement, infrastructure improvement, rural diversification. The other countries we anticipate coming on-line soon.
This is critically important. This is going to be what we believe not only helps the cotton sector by improving their access to markets, but indeed by helping the rest of the economy develop as well.
This will remain a key focus of ours. We are committed to engaging in further discussions with respect to aid and assistance to see what we can do to assist in this area, just as we are committed to continuing a vigorous dialogue on trade. That dialogue is going to continue this week. This is the beginning of that dialogue. Tomorrow we are scheduled to meet with the ministers from the C4 countries. I believe Senegal will be there as well. We are looking to have vigorous discussion there and to continue this week with building a common understanding of problems and to obtaining a resolution that will be mutually satisfactory.
Let me finally finish my remarks by pointing out that we must, as we move forward on cotton, not forget the other sectors of agriculture, which are not only important to the economies represented here, but indeed to LDCs generally. Sixty percent of the world's population is engaged in agriculture. It has been estimated that an overwhelming percentage of the benefits to be gained from the Doha Round will be from agriculture. The bulk of that gain is going to be from greater market access. It's going to be from allowing African cotton producers, African producers of other products, to be able to access other markets, both in the developed world and also in the developing world. It will allow the diversification of the economies so that West African producers are no longer just growing, say, cocoa, but are able to process that into semi-processed cocoa or even chocolate that will enable the standard of living to go up and investment flows in. These for us are core agenda items. They are core imperatives, frankly, this week.
A final word. I am delighted that we are engaging in this dialogue. I think it is critically important during this week in Hong Kong that we maintain this spirit of dialogue. This is a problem and an opportunity, frankly, that we all share together. We see the C5 countries as being our partners in this effort. We see them as being critically important to attaining ultimately a successful Doha Round. So I look forward to sharing many more discussion with Ambassador Amehou, with Minister Ngarmbatina, and with many others in this room as we move forward.
Thank you.

TV Overnights: Lord Sugar starts them young
If you sat through the last series of The Apprentice wondering what could be more soul destroying than watching a group of highly vocal, self-righteousness, blindly confident, know-it-all, joyless idiots - then wonder no more. Last night, BBC One provided that answer.
The third series of Young Apprentice (8pm) offered up the exact same format as its sibling show, apart from the blood-chilling fact that all the candidates are aged 16 to 17. Because we all want the future of this country to behave like Ruth Badger.
The show, a sneerfest comedy for some, a blueprint of professional life for others, saw the young hopefuls divided by gender and sanctioned with new team names. Thankfully, they were as cringe inducing as ever. Odyssey and Platinum (both sounding like available suites in a brothel) were tasked with rummaging through discarded clothes and turning them in to a profit.
The boys of Odyssey got off to a strong start as team leader Patrick had plenty of experience in the fashion industry (as much as a 17 year old can, I guess). Despite Patrick's valuable involvement with the industry (through a summer job in Topman, presumably?), it was Platinum that heralded the biggest profit in the end. Proving girls know about clothes and stuff.
3.7 million viewers tuned in for the first round of precocious nonsensical sound biting. An average audience share of 16% watched as Max, a fine academic but a useless people person, got turfed out on to the cold unforgiving austerity riddled streets.
The young whipper snappers were up against an over-abundance of Emmerdale programming over on ITV1. The first visit to the Dales had the little matter of Carl's funeral to deal with. 7 million viewers tuned in at 7pm, with a 33% audience share.
EastEnders (7:30pm) followed on BBC One and Lola was getting anxious about losing baby Lexi. After weeks of saying no, Sharon performed one of her 180 degree turnarounds and finally agreed to pretend to be Phil's fiancé in the residency application. The ongoing drama brought in 7.2 million viewers (a 33% share), securing the biggest audience of the night for BBC One.
The second episode of Emmerdale at 8pm saw the audience drop slightly but still managed to attract 6.8 million viewers. The 29% share was enough to beat the first half of Young Apprentice on BBC One. Emmerdale at 40 (ITV1, 8:30pm) had a nostalgic look back at the many, many crimes to take place in the sleepy village.
Among the pleasant memories we saw - Kim Tate coming back from the dead and watching her husband die in front of her, Patsy Kensit faking her own death by recreating a shotgun blast to the chest with lots of ketchup and bigamous Mark Wylde get his comeuppance in the woods. The clip show pulled in 3.5 million viewers and a 16 % audience share.
For the final time at 9pm, tough espionage drama Hunted (BBC One) squared off against Homefront (ITV1) with the military wives putting up one last fight. The fifth episode of the BBC's high octane chase show saw amnesiac Sam get in to a few more fights and string us along with promises of plot reveals. The latest episode saw the series' ratings fall once again with last night's hour of confusion attracting 3 million viewers and a 14% share.
The final episode of Homefront saw the audience jump up by half a million viewers, week on week. 2.5 million people tuned in to see the various stories tie up, netting an 11% share.
Meanwhile, it was time for the random documentary generator over on Channel 4. Last night we got The Human Mannequin (9pm), an unusually risky title given that it takes more than two seconds to figure out what it's all about.
2 million viewers watched the tale of teenager Louise, who wants to break in to fashion. Unfortunately for Louise she has a condition that slowly turns her muscles in to bone. At this stage it wouldn't be too far-fetched to assume they come up with the title first, then they find some poor soul to stretch it out for an hour. The documentary pulled in channel 4's biggest audience of the day and a 9% share.
Overnight data is available each morning in mediatel.co.uk's TV Database, with all BARB registered subscribers able to view reports for terrestrial networks and key multi-channel stations.

SBE Certification Program Hits All-Time High
Indianapolis - Aug 27, 2004 - The Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) has conducted a certification program available to members and non-members since 1975. What started as a program that struggled to gain acceptance in the industry now boasts 5,400 current certifications on record. That marks the association's highpoint in the 29 years since the first certification was granted.
SBE grants technical and operator certifications in 11 levels and broadcasting disciplines. All require recertification every five years to ensure that the individuals who hold them keep up with changes in technology, accepted practices and regulations. Newer certification levels that the society has unveiled over the last 10 years have addressed the changes in technology and station operation, as well as the need to provide a standard for individuals working in master control. These have included the Certified Broadcast Networking Technologist, Certified Radio Operator and Certified Television Operator. Hundreds of engineers and operators now hold certifications in each of these levels.
Chriss Scherer, CSRE CBNT, the SBE's National Certification Committee chairman, expressed optimism with the announcement of the lofty total of certifications. "This achievement shows that the broadcast industry truly values SBE certification. After ongoing, incremental successes with SBE certification, an accomplishment like this is a proud moment for the Certification Committee."
"The SBE provides a number of important services to the broadcast industry. It's safe to say that our voluntary certification program is what we are most widely known for," said SBE president Raymond Benedict, CPBE. Benedict added, "Our Certification Committee and staff have done a wonderful job in keeping the program current with the changes in technology and the local volunteer chapter certification chairmen are the backbone of our delivery system. We look forward to continuing to supply broadcast engineers with a certification program that will help provide the recognition they deserve and assist in their career development."
Radio Engineer Electrocuted in Colorado
Red Feather Lakes, CO - Aug 24, 2004 - The Associated Press reports that a Wyoming broadcast engineer was electrocuted while working at a transmitter site in Colorado. Robin Bradley Thomas of Cheyenne, WY, was killed while working alone at a transmitter site in northern Colorado.
Thomas was found Aug. 24, but an autopsy shows that he probably died on Aug. 23. He apparently came in contact with a high-voltage source.
Thomas was a contract engineer and a partner in Radio Frontier Broadcasting and Blue Moose Broadcasting.
More Debate on Copyrights
Washington - Aug 25, 2004 - A senate committee, seeking input from consumer electronics companies and public-interest groups, heard testimony about changes to a copyright bill that would hold technology companies liable for encouraging people to infringe copyright. The Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act (SB2560), sponsored by Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), has received the support of music labels and Hollywood studios. The supporters feel that current peer-to-peer software is having detrimental effects on the labels' and studios' businesses because music fans have used the software to share copyrighted files illegally.
Gary Shapiro, president of the Consumer Electronics Association, testified in July during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the proposed bill that the legislation would hamper the development of new technologies. Hatch and Leahy affirmed their commitment to passing the legislation, but have sought assistance in rewording the bill.
Recommended new language for the bill was suggested by the Consumer Electronics Association, the American Library Association, Public Knowledge, DigitalConsumer.org and several other groups. The new language would impose liability on any person who actively distributes in commerce a computer program that is specifically designed for use by individuals to engage in the indiscriminate, mass infringing distribution to the public of copyrighted works with the intent to reap financial gain by doing so.
ISPs, venture capitalists, credit card companies, banks, advertising agencies, IT help desks and librarians would be exempt from liability. The proposed alternative would also address the 1984 Supreme Court Sony Betamax decision, which found that products capable of substantial non-infringing uses, such as home video recorders, are legal.
The proposed wording was forwarded to Hatch, Leahy and bill co-sponsors, Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN).
NAB Touts Station Responses to Charley
Washington - Aug 23, 2004 - With localism being such a key topic at the
FCC, NAB Chairman Eddie Fritz wasted no time in touting the good works of Florida broadcast stations during Hurricane Charley.
In a letter to FCC Chairman Michael Powell, Fritz noted that Florida broadcasters "dedicated tremendous resources to keeping citizens aware of Hurricane Charley, and are now playing a lead role in the clean up from this deadly storm."
Fritz said that while the National Hurricane Center was still predicting a Class 2 hurricane would come ashore near Tampa, FL, a number of local television weather forecasters had upgraded the storm's intensity to Class 4 and warned viewers that the storm had turned sharply to the east.
He cited a thank-you e-mail from a viewer of one station who wrote, "Many thanks to the meteorology team who dared to veer from the National Hurricane Center's predictions. I am certain that you are responsible for saving many lives. You gave many area residents like ourselves a golden hour, or half-hour in some cases, to prepare for the completely unexpected!"
Fritz said the broadcasters' coverage of Hurricane Charley serves as a textbook example of the continued public service commitment and relevance of our nation's broadcasters.
A&M Records' President Ron Fair to Keynote 117th AES
San Francisco - Aug 23, 2004 - Ron Fair, veteran record man, six-time Grammy nominee and president of A&M Records, will present the keynote speech at the 117th AES Convention at noon on Oct. 28 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
An A&R man, producer, arranger, musician and recording engineer, Fair's credits stretch from collaborating with composer/producer Bill Conti on the recording of Gonna Fly Now, the hit theme from Rocky, to discovering five-time Grammy award winner Christina Aguilera and serving as executive producer for her ten-times-platinum album Stripped and worldwide #1 Grammy-winning Beautiful.
As president of A&M Records since 1999, Ron Fair oversees an artist roster that includes: Sting, Sheryl Crow, The Black Eyed Peas and Vanessa Carlton. He is a 25-year member of NARAS, serving as National Trustee and member of the Board of Governors, and where he remains an active committee member.
Court Rules File Sharing Companies Not Liable
San Francisco - Aug 20, 2004 - The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco has ruled that file-sharing companies Grokster and Streamcast Networks are not liable for the swapping of copyright content. The court ruled that the suppliers of the free peer-to-peer software were not liable for the illegal efforts of the service users because the companies do not have central servers that store the data.
The three-judge panel upheld a lower court ruling that dismissed most of the lawsuit brought by movie studios and record labels. The panel stated that the companies provided the software for users to share information over the Internet. Whether or not that information was copyrighted is secondary.
The main point behind the ruling is that the software can be used for legitimate purposes. If a user chooses to use it in an illegal way, that is not the fault of the company.
A case is currently pending against Sharman Networks, the maker of the Kazaa program. This ruling may influence that case.

This February, 26th, 2014, wear pink to draw attention to the importance of supportive relationships! Remind others about the story behind Pink Shirt Day to inspire others to become courageous in the face of injustice. Reflect on the actions that two brave Nova Scotia students took in protest against the harassment that was happening to a grade 9 boy because he was wearing a pink shirt to school. Since handing out pink t-shirts to all the boys in their school in 2007, Pink Shirt Day has been observed every year in February and now observed worldwide.

What Menopause Means to You
What does menopause and growing older mean to you? The end of monthly blues, of PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome)? The end of fertility? The end of youthfulness? Women experience menopause in many different ways, both positive and negative. No matter what your take on menopause, there are concrete things you can do to work on your state of mind and the condition of your body.
What you many be feeling may be more than menopause. Too much can be blamed on hormones when what's really knocking you out are the plain facts of your life. If your breast cancer occurred close to menopause, and you've experienced the loss of a breast, and a large block of your time has been spent getting treatment, you've been threatened, if not shattered.
You've got a lot of pieces to put back together. As you move on through middle age, there are other tough challenges. You may have heard the expression "Growing old is not for sissies." And it's true. Empty nest, divorce, widowhood, the dependency of sick parents, the death of a parent, or kids in trouble are all common experiences at this stage of life. Setting aside the hormonal changes that relate to menopause, it's common to feel stress, isolation, and depression as you age.
The real question to answer is: What are you going to do about it? Your lifestyle affects how you age and how you experience growing older, too. Is your life too filled with stress—are you trying to do too much—or have you learned to roll with the punches? Are you a couch potato or a dedicated walker? Are you attentive to what you eat? Is it steak and potatoes—with ketchup as your other vegetable—or are you a confirmed vegetarian with heavy emphasis on beans and broccoli, and only an occasional ice cream binge?
Making an effort in the three following areas can help improve your experience:
- Exercise, in whatever forms you choose, eases the stress and strains of aging. Keeping your body in condition helps you stay steady, limber, and feeling good.
- A healthful diet keeps your body functioning the way it should and helps you live longer.
- Stress-reducing efforts, including meditation, relaxation, hobbies, or distraction, will ensure that you get more pleasure from each day.
Expert Quote
"Running, walking, eventually inching down that path to old age is a welcome goal for any woman, especially one who has had breast cancer."
-- Kutluk Oktay, M.D.

Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
18 If I say to the wicked person: You will surely die, but you do not warn him-you don't speak out to warn him about his wicked way in order to save his life-that wicked person will die for his iniquity. Yet I will hold you responsible for his blood. | 18 When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. |

When I think of spring and the Easter holiday, two things come to mind . . . candy and color! These candy topiaries make delightful Easter centerpieces while bringing the best of April, candy favorites and bright colors, to your Easter table.
Supplies you probably already have:
- hot glue gun + glue
- acrylic paint (for the stem)
- bucket or pot
- ribbon
Supplies you may not have:
Sizes for these supplies depend on the size of your pot/bucket.
- styrofoam ball
- styrofoam half ball
- wooden dowel
- candy
I love bright & colorful candies for spring so I chose to use Skittles for my Easter centerpiece.
I purchased this Skittles & Starburst 30 Pack from Sam's Club in the candy aisle.
To begin crafting your topiary, you will want to paint your styrofoam ball and your dowel. Only one coat is needed. Why do we paint the ball? Nobody wants to see hints of white peaking out in between your candies.
While the paint is drying, sort your Skittles by color. I decided to leave out colors that were not reminiscent of Easter. Aren't these Skittles simply gorgeous?
Next, plug in your glue gun. When the styrofoam paint has completely dried and your glue is hot, begin gluing the Skittles onto the styrofoam ball.
It's fun to make patterns! I chose to do colorful flowers with lots of green separating them.
Once your ball is covered in Skittles, you will insert one end of the dowel into the ball and the other into the half ball. Place the half ball into your bucket or pot to stabilize the topiary. Adorn the topiary with ribbon and Easter grass and your are all set.
It may take some time but your finished product is bright, bold and beautiful!
Happy Easter!
I hope it's delicious. For more candy craft projects like mine, search #VIPFruitFlavors. Xo

Revoke Karachi Agreement of -28th April-1949,
The region of Gilgit Baltistan, which is part of the state of Jammu & Kashmir was disintegrated from rest of the area fell under the occupation of Pakistan in the result of tribal invasion in the former state. The people of both regions have categorically rejected that agreement throughout these years. The supreme court of Pakistan and High Court of so called Azad Kashmir in 1993, asked Government of so called Azad Kashmir to resume the control of these areas. Nevertheless no action has been taken so far to take the people and political parties in to confidence in this regard. we are appealing to the state subjects to come forward to speak for the lost unity, integrity and sovereignty of the former princely state of Jammu & Kashmir. We also acknowledge that all the historical entities of the state would be equal and at par politically, culturally, linguistically, ethnically and religiously in the future united and independent state. Regards, Jamil Maqsood, General Secretary, United Kashmir People's National Party (Europe Zone)- Brussels

Anyone ever heard of this company? The lighting store I am working with says they use this company for their recessed lighting. They seem to have all the same types of cans and trims as Halo and Juno, but I am kind of worried about going with one of these "unknown" manufacturers. The prices seem to be significantly lower than the more well known companies, which is great, but I get a sense of "it's too good to be true", or "you get what you pay for". But then I think it's really just a light, as long as the bulb turns on, could there really be that big of a difference? The store is quoting me a price of less than $25 dollars for the IC remodel cans with specular reflector trims. Looking on the net, I see Halo and Juno specular trims alone for more than that price. |

DHS News September 2013
The Link Continues to Please
A recently conducted survey showed consumer satisfaction with the Allegheny County Link to Aging and Disability Resources continues to be high. The Link implemented in 2005, serves approximately 350 consumers a month and supports older adults and people of any age who have disabilities.
Respondents to the survey showed consumers are grateful for the service and that it exceeds their expectations. "They were wonderful. I was very happy with the entire process," one respondent wrote.
"I'm grateful for the existence of the Link program and the good it has done for those like myself and others with various problems. Thank you," wrote another.
Joe Elliott, Community Programs Manager in the Office of Community Relations, where the Link is housed, said the results of the surveys show the Link remains valuable to Allegheny County residents with disabilities.
"We sit down with consumers and help them find the services they need and ones they might not be aware of," said Joe. Besides Joe, the Link has two service coordinators, an intensive case manager and one master's intern to help consumers.
When a person calls 866-730-2368, staff members will help devise an action plan that could be as simple as having the person call an appropriate program directly, if that works for him or her, or staffers will help the consumer fill out applications and troubleshoot any roadblocks to services. "It's giving them the option of how they want to reach out to the agencies, giving them that 'warm' transfer to what they need," Joe said.
Thirty days after the Link's last contact with the consumer, staffers do a follow-up. Then, the Link sends a customer satisfaction survey out. That survey gives the Link yet another chance to make sure consumers are getting the services they need and that all has gone smoothly. Respondents said they are especially grateful for the emphasis on follow up.
"I was pleased with the staff member's attention to my questions," said one respondent. "She also followed up with a phone call to make sure my needs were met. She also mailed valuable information for future use. I am very satisfied with the service and attention I received."
For more information, please visit the Allegheny Link webpage.
