As I�m sure you can tell the site just went through an overhaul. The old pages are still the same as they�ve always been. Simply because I�m not totally satisfied with this design, yet. Basically it�s all there. But if you�ll notice that in the top left corner of the new border deally, it�s not a solid image. Why on earth I can�t get those stupid pictures to touch is beyond me. I had the horizontal pics touching at one time but by the magic of HTML it decides to just stop being connected. I kinda like the lines in it though, it looks sorta cool. But it was an unintentional cool therefore it sucks.
It�s a new month tomorrow so will everyone please vote for me on Top Web Comics? This month I�ve ended off at the 19th position which is really good in my opinion. Anyhow I�ve worked really really hard on redesigning the site. So please please vote for me this month. It makes me feel awesome to get a good start. Thanks.
Story! K, me and my cowboy roommate were washing dishes this weekend just to be nice. Well we decided to use the dishwasher which neither of us has touched. So anyhow I poured in normal dish soap into its little funnel soap thingy. Well I flooded the kitchen with foamy bubbles. After we got that all cleaned up my cowboy roommate left to go to work. Well the dishwasher still had a butt load of soap in it so I had the great idea of making a ditch out of plastic bags for it to flow out of the dishwasher, through the kitchen, around the corner, through the living room, and out the door. Well after I made my plastic canal I let the dishwasher rip. The moral of this story is never ever leave me alone anywhere.
Vote for,
Truth be told I�m tired. Screw ranting. Screw it right in the ear. Good night.

About us/Newsroom/Contact us/Locations/Careers
Functional expertise
Technology and product development
IT and digital solutions
From invention to delivery
Applying innovative thinking
Alan Middleton, PA Chief Executive Officer
At PA Consulting Group, we believe that in order to unlock opportunities for growth in technology, it is vital to support those who have a talent and passion for technology and information science. This conviction – and our desire to increase enthusiasm for programming, engineering and technology – is the seed from which the PA Raspberry Pi-making competition was born.
The competition challenged teams from schools and individual inventors to make the world a better place using a Raspberry Pi.
14 groups of finalists gathered yesterday at PA Consulting Group's Cambridge Technology Centre for the programming challenge awards ceremony to present their inventions to a "hand-picked" judging panel. The finalists' ideas show the ingenuity of the next generation of Britain's technologists and inventors.
View some of the finalists' videos.
The winners
Primary school: age 8 – 11 - The Richard Pate School
A system to help elderly or disabled people answer the door, especially people who have difficulty walking or who walk slowly. This system aims to eliminate that problem by letting them send a message to the person at the door and unlock the door remotely.
Finalists: East Sheen Primary School, Norton Community Primary School
Secondary school: age 12 – 16 Dalriada School
Remembering to take the right number of pills at the right time can be stressful, particularly for those who are elderly or very sick. This automated pill dispenser makes managing medicine easier: the Raspberry Pi connects a pill dispenser and GP, who can programme the administration of the drugs through a website. Correct dosages drop out of the Raspberry Pi controlled pill dispenser at the specified times.
Finalists: Haileybury School, Highgate School, Roedean School, Bedford Prep School
Secondary school: age 16 – 18 - Westminster School
This weather surveillance device allows you to use the Raspberry Pi to monitor air quality. Living in a city and worried about the air you breathe? The Raspberry Pi will take in information about air quality through the attached sensors and upload it directly to the internet, where it can then be viewed on a smartphone or tablet. This device can measure temperature, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide.
Finalists: Dulwich College, Haileybury School
Open category: UNOP
This system enables home owners to monitor the electricity consumption of their home. The electricity-consumption logging system was based on the communication protocol of an off-the-shelf wireless electricity monitor. The Raspberry Pi was a great choice for the host machine as its electricity consumption is negligible.
Finalist: Penguin Tutor
Alan Middleton, CEO PA Consulting Group said: "The competition has really engaged the natural creativity and initiative of our entrants. It's so encouraging to see the passion that young people have about technology, especially as it is now part-and-parcel of our every-day lives. As computing skills are so vital, we should foster the future generation of technology enthusiasts."

5 Stocks With Huge Insider Buying
Universal Display
A stock in the semiconductor complex that insiders are snapping up here is Universal Display (PANL), which is engaged in the research, development and commercialization of organic light emitting diode technologies and materials. Insiders are buying this stock into some notable weakness, since shares are off by 18% in the last three months.
Universal Display has a market cap of $1.24 billion and an enterprise value of $1.02 billion. This stock trades at a premium valuation, with a trailing price-to-earnings of 128.27 and a forward price-to-earnings of 32.54. Its estimated growth rate for this year is 100%, and for next year it's pegged at 272.7%. This is a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $238.78 million and its total debt is zero.
A beneficial owner just bought 52,260 shares, or $1.37 million worth of stock, at $25.88 to $26.86 per share. From a technical perspective, PANL is currently trending above its 50-day moving average and below its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last two months and change, with shares moving higher from its low of $21.55 to its recent high of $29.40 a share. During that uptrend, shares of PANL have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of PANL within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. >>4 Breakout Buys for January -- and One Sell If you're in the bull camp on PANL, then I would look for long-biased trades as long as it's trending above some near-term support at $24, and then once it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $29.40 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above $29.40 a share with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1,027,620 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then PANL will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $34.54 to $35.60 a share.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A tidal creek, tidal channel, or estuary is the portion of a stream that is affected by ebb and flow of ocean tides, in the case that the subject stream discharges to an ocean, sea or strait. Thus this portion of the stream has variable salinity and electrical conductivity over the tidal cycle. Due to the temporal variability of water quality parameters within the tidally influenced zone, there are unique biota associated with tidal creeks, which biota are often specialised to such zones.
Creeks may often dry to a muddy channel with little or no flow at low tide, but often with significant depth of water at high tide.
In British English and in many other countries in the Commonwealth, as well as some parts of the United States (near the Chesapeake Bay, parts of New England[1]), a creek is a tidal water channel. In the tidal section of the River Thames in London, the names of the rivers that flow into it all become Creeks for the lower section that is tidal; thus, for example the River Lea becomes Bow Creek in its tidal section. In parts of southwest England and Wales, the term 'pill' is used,[2] and is found in placenames such as Huntspill.
On the India and Pakistan borders the term also applies to the salt water inlets enclosed by mangroves. Creeks are found dispersed all along the Indian coast. In the Florida Keys, a creek is a narrow channel between islands.
There are thousands of examples of tidal creeks throughout the world. A few specific ones are:

The tech industry is on guard against amendments to the Senate immigration bill that could chip away at provisions that would help their businesses employ more highly skilled foreign workers.
In particular, tech companies are worried that a set of amendments offered by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) would tack on additional rules and requirements to the H-1B temporary worker program that they say would make it difficult for their businesses to make use of the visas.
Tech industry representatives fear Grassley's changes would discourage companies from hiring workers with H1-B visas because so many requirements would have to be met. They also argue that Grassley's proposed changes would potentially increase their legal liabilities.

PUERTO RICO — A scientist in Puerto Rico took her appetite past her taste buds as she developed a perfume made to smell like the Latino staple food of tamales, NBC Latino reported.
The expert perfumer, Zoradya Ortiz is a seasoned expert in developing smells, she said, and aims to connect Latinos to their culture by sense of smell.
The tamale fragrance, called "La Diecicho" (the 18th) contains blends of red chili pepper, ginger, pineapple, Indian sandalwood and vanilla.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have demoted outfielder Brandon Jones from AAA Indianapolis to AA Altoona, and have also signed Yung Chi Chen, who was recently with the Oakland Athletics. The moves bring Altoona's roster up to 24, after seeing the promotions of Daniel Moskos and Alex Presley to Indianapolis leave the team shorthanded.
For Jones, the move is the latest in what has been an all around poor season. Jones was on the Atlanta Braves' 40-man roster until being designated for assignment in mid-November. The Pirates claimed him off of waivers, but optioned him to AAA to start the season, and designated him for assignment at the end of April. Jones cleared waivers, and was outrighted to AAA. Jones hasn't had the best year, hitting for a .205/.277/.321 line in 156 at-bats with Indianapolis, following a 2009 season that saw him hit for a .281/.360/.419 line in 384 at-bats.
Chen is in his 7th year in the minors, and now joins his third organization. He originally started with Seattle, and was claimed off of waivers by Oakland before the 2009 season. After posting a .168/.218/.257 line in 101 at-bats at the AA level in 2010, Oakland released him. Chen spent time on Seattle's 40-man roster, but saw his career derailed with injuries. Chen is listed as a second baseman.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace! 1 Peter 4:10 A Faith Community Nurse (FCN) is a registered nurse who has chosen to serve in a faith community to offer a healing presence. A FCN works alongside members a faith community to empower them to make positive health choices, always promoting the understanding of the relationship between faith and health. The Health Improvement Organization is proud to support Faith Community Nursing, recognizing the impact that FCNs have on the community.
The role of a FCN may vary depending on the needs and capacity of the faith community and its members. FCNs often serve in the following ways: Health Counselor – Discuss health concerns, emphasizing early response to problems and encouraging healthy lifestyles Health Education – Provides opportunities to learn about health issues Health Advocate – Speaks out to help others obtain needed health services Referral Advisor – Provides referral to healthcare and social services Volunteer Coordinator – Coordinates volunteers who help those in need

Race Results Commonwealth Youth Games November 30th - December 4th Once the racing has taken place, you will be able to Click below to go to see results >
Track Day 2 Events on the schedule for Thursday were : Pursuit Final Scratch Race - 7.5km Sprints Qualifying Pursuit The pursuit title was taken by Bianca Rogers (Aus) over Jo Tindley from England. Speaking to WomensCycling.net afterwards, Rogers explained that she was in Bendigo specifically to focus upon the pursuit. Tindley on the other hand was relatively surprised to be in Bendigo, having qualified for her place in the team by virtue of a good performance in recent races in the UK. Bronze went to Paddy Walker from New Zealand. She beat Amy Hunt in their ride-off race. 1 Bianca Rogers Aus 2:40:11 2 Jo Tindley Eng 2:46:09 3 Paddy Walker NZ 4 Amy Hunt WomensCycling.net caught up with Bianca Rogers after the medal presentation. She has ridden a full track programme, but admitted that "I was here aiming to win the pursuit. The pursuit is my main event. The scratch race, points race and the road are all for training." This gold comes on the heels of a silver in the Junior World Championships in Los Angeles in August. Asked about whether she was surprised to win the pursuit, she replied "I am surprised in a way because I'm going through "base" training at the moment. I just changed coaches and I've been heaps and heaps of long rides. You come out of 'base' really flat, so for me to win the pursuit is great, but I also know that the training's paying off." For the rest of the season, Bianca will be "returning to Adelaide and training through December. January will be the Bay Series and the Tour Down Under criteriums. Then the track Nationals will be a big event, they're a selection event for the Junior Worlds. I would like to qualify for the Worlds. There's six months between Nationals and the Worlds, so I can have a week off after the Nationals and then really peak for the Worlds." Her view on the Games was "I happy to be here. I didn't think there would be so many other countries; maybe just Australia and New Zealand, maybe Malaysia. But with England here too, there's quite a bit of competition." Speaking after the event, Jo Tindley told WomensCycling.net "I'm chuffed, I wasn't expecting to get a pursuit medal. I came out here more for the Points Race, but I blew up - I had nothing left, so I must have tried harder than I thought in the pursuit." About the Games in general, Tindley told WomensCycling.net that "I am enjoying the Games. I didn't know until recently that I was coming. I did well at the senior Nationals (UK) and was invited. I am absolutely over the moon about it." The English team have had some problems adjusting to the heat of the Australian summer, although Bendigo has been kinder to the Northern Hemisphere riders. "We spent a week in Melbourne and that was seriously hot. I was struggling 'big time' in the heat. I couldn't cope. Here (Bendigo) is much nicer, especially in the evenings. Its a bit on the nippy side, but its good weather." Scratch Race - 7.5km On Wednesday, Skye-Lee Armstrong was overjoyed to have taken silver in the points race, 24 hours later, she was the gold medal winner in the scratch race. Having taken some time this afternoon to sleep off her jet-lag, Sky-Lee certainly turned herself around for the evening's racing. In a 20 lap race where Australia dominated, she told WomensCycling.net that the Australians had not planned to do so well in the race. They were, it seemed, the only ones interested in racing at the front. Bianca Rogers completed a successful evening with a silver and Bridgette Broad from New Zealand made a return trip to the podium in this track series to collect her bronze medal. Skye-Lee Armstrong told WomensCycling.net that "I am pretty happy tonight. I was a bit disappointed last night, I didn't have the legs, but it came together today, so I'm pretty happy. We had good teamwork, but it made it more difficult." (In the sprint for the line,) "I didn't want to go up because my team-mate, Amanda Spratt was there, so I chose to go underneath and it paid off, it was really good. To have Australia 1-2 again - you can't get much better than that!" Sky-Lee is the only Australian on the Friday track programme who is also competing in the Road Race in the morning. "Endurance legs in the morning and then sprinter's legs. I will have a sleep after lunch and then back to the track for the Keirin".
Sprint Qualifying There were some tactical heats in the sprint qualifying. The riders used the whole of the track and were not afraid to move each other around the banking. Unfortunate ride of the evening went to Jessica Tanner (Aus) against Jo Tindley (Eng). As the pair went around the back straight on the final lap, Tanner moved up, glanced over her left shoulder and veered further upwards. She caught her handlebars on the fence and tumbled off her bike. A confused Jo Tindley rode around, unsure of what to do. As it was, there was a restart. Tanner, with some thigh showing through the large hole in her shorts took the heat. Tanner's victory meant an all Australian semi final between her and Jennifer Loutit and an all 'kiwi' other semi, between Bridgette Broad and Jennifer Jones. Through to the final are Jennifer Loutit and Bridget Broad, whilst Tanner and Jones ride-off for bronze.

Sleep and Aging
Contrary to popular belief, our sleep needs don't change as we grow older - from early adulthood to our twilight years, we should strive to maintain a regular sleep schedule consisting of 7-8 hours of uninterrupted quality sleep per night
As we age, our sleep patterns change and our sleep tends to become more fragile. Sleep becomes less deep and more fragmented, due to a variety of age-related physiological changes and lifestyle alterations.
There are several contributors to age-related sleep problems. Pain is more common as we age due to conditions such as arthritis, or chronic back pain. Ironically, sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality related to pain may well make the pain more severe on the following day. Many medications we take have sleep-related side effects. If you think medications are affecting your sleep, consult with your physician.
After retirement, many people end up with extremely erratic sleep schedules. The absence of a work schedule that dictates a set time to get up every morning also eliminates a set bedtime. Before you know it, you're staying up later, sleeping in, napping during the day and gradually obliterating any sense of timing when it comes to sleep. The body thrives on a set wake-sleep schedule—it anchors most of our other physiological processes such as digestion, immune response, and alertness levels. "Retirement planning" should include how to maintain a consistent sleep schedule and a high level of daily activity!
Occasional short naps midday can help if you're fatigued, but we all should strive to get most of our sleep at night, at any age.
Many women report sleep disturbances as they age, including temperature swings. Aging men also deal with sleep interruptions. SLEEP NUMBER® Temperature Balancing bedding solutions are designed to minimize temperature swings so you don't sleep too hot or too cold.
With all these sleep disturbances, interruptions and age-related changes, the sleep environment and our sleep habits become critically important. They should all aim at facilitating sleep. The bedroom conditions need to be perfect: dark, quiet and cool. Your mattress, pillows and bedding should all perfectly complement your sleep position, comfort preferences and physical condition. They can make an enormous difference in how fast you fall asleep, how efficiently you sleep and how rested you feel the next day. Be sure to check out the Sleep Number® Bedding Collection for innovative bedding solutions that are designed to meet your individual comfort needs.
The SLEEP NUMBER® bed offers a unique solution for your changing needs. With ongoing adjustability, you can experience personalized comfort night after night for better sleep. It's the perfect mattress for couples as each of you can adjust each side of the mattress to your ideal comfort preference.
For additional tips on improving sleep quality, click here
As I get older and my body changes, I don't have to buy other mattresses-I can just change the firmness.

United for Care's Ben Pollara to Debate Former Drug Czar Who Once Claimed Smoking Weed Leads to AIDS
Now that the Florida Supreme Court has approved to have a constitutional amendment to legalize medical marijuana on the ballot this November, the group responsible for getting it there, United for Care, is all about getting the word out.
This week alone, the group has a daylong campaign scheduled to call registered voters and get the word out about Amendment 2.
Also on the docket will be United for Care's campaign manager, Ben Pollara, going head-to-head in a debate with former Ronald Reagan drug czar Carlton E. Turner.
Turner is famous for coming up with the "Just Say No" campaign that bombarded radio, TV, and comic books back in the 1980s, warning kids of the dangers of drugs. He's also known for claiming that marijuana is not only a gateway drug to other illegal substances but apparently also the gateway drug to AIDS.
"Marijuana leads to homosexuality, the breakdown of the immune system, and ultimately, AIDS," Turner famously said in 1986.
See also: United for Care's Ben Pollara Counters Arguments by Anti-Medical-Marijuana Crowd
The debate, which goes down on Thursday evening at St. Petersburg College, will have Pollara and Turner hashing out their differences in front of a crowd that is paying $30 a pop to attend.
"Any time you get invited to debate with a politician or someone like that, you get a little bit nervous," Pollara tells New Times. "But when I heard I'd be debating Carlton Turner, I got excited for this one."
Since his days serving under Reagan, Turner has remained active in his war against drugs, particularly with marijuana, which is being legalized as medicine across the country and may become legal in Florida if voters vote Yes on Amendment 2.
In a recent interview with Fox Business, Turner continued to claim his certainties that marijuana impairs the immune system and that weed has, as he puts it, "more cancer-causing compounds than cigarettes."

Dear Punxsutawney Phil,
I was giving you the benefit of the doubt about spring arriving. Even though the weather has been pretty cold and rainy over the past few weeks, I told myself to be patient. But this is going too far.
Another milestone in college football - 400 career wins for Joe Paterno, coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions. I happened to be at the Nov. 6 game to witness this bit of history. Now, it may not be as important to our overall historical view as, say, women's suffrage or landing a man on the moon, but still, for Penn State fans and for college football, it was definitely a momentous occasion.
As I was editing a story Sunday night, I read about Mr. Tom Heindl of the local In Town Gardeners Club. This club is a group of volunteers who spend time doing all kinds of garden-related activities, and one of those activities is beautifying downtown St. Marys during various seasons by planting and placing containers of flowers in various locations.

Swollen feet and legs can be a symptom of poor blood circulation in the legs and feet, which results in accumulation of blood in legs and feet, thus leading to higher blood pressure.
Poor blood circulation in legs is often caused by weakening of valves, thus leading to backflow of blood and retention of blood in legs. So, to prevent against swelling of feet and poor blood circulation in legs, use suitable pair of graduated compression socks with the right pressure applied. Excessive pressure causes discomfort while too low a pressure has little or minimal effect.

Global Fungicides Industry 2012-2017: Trends, Profit, and Forecast Analysis, March 2012
The global fungicides market has witnessed robust growth during the last five years and is expected to witness growth momentum although at a slightly reduced pace and reach an estimated US $21.42 billion in 2017 with a CAGR of 6.7% over the next five years. North America witnessed the highest growth during the last five years and is expected to lead the industry during 2012 to 2017
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has analyzed the Global Fungicides market and presents its findings in "Global Fungicides Industry 2012–2017: Trends, Profit, and Forecast Analysis."
The fungicides market consists of a specific type of pesticide that controls fungal disease by specifically inhibiting or killing the fungus causing the disease in the crops. Fungicides prevent and cure diseases, which can have severe adverse effects on crop yields and quality. The main markets are fruit and vegetables, cereals, and rice.
As per the study, regulatory norms to reduce toxicity, environmental laws and government regulations are some of the challenges before the industry. On the contrary, the ever increasing world population has been creating constant pressure for higher yields from the limited cultivable land resources to meet the world hunger, so the demand for fungicides is expected to increase to save crops from the damage caused by fungus and diseases.
In global fungicides market, APAC is forecast to see the highest growth during next five years. Developing countries such as China and India are demanding higher volumes of nutritious food, which will in turn increase the fungicides market. Growing horticulture and floriculture industries will also result in increasing demand for fungicides. Lucintel's research provides a concise overview of the global fungicides market.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Return of the Zeppelin? Amphibious airship to take to skies
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
September 11th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) A pioneering aviation firm is pinning its hopes to a new kind of amphibious aircraft that is able to land and take off without an airstrip - benefiting those trapped in war zones and disaster areas. The Aeroscraft is a big, ungainly craft that calls forth memories of the zeppelin, which has been absent from the world's skies for over 75 years. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Using innovative technology, the Aeroscraft is far more able to control its flight better than previous airships. This puts it ahead of the zeppelins of the past, which were discontinued following the Hindenburg disaster of May 6, 1937.[media id="226"] The Aeroscraft is also far more fuel efficient, requiring only a third as much fuel as an airplane carrying cargo. Designed following a $3 million grant from the U.S. government, the Aeroscraft is set to begin its first test flight. [media id="223"] Created by Worldwide Aeros Corp., its makers predict the craft will change the way that goods are moved internationally by providing a mode of transport far less expensive than planes, but faster than sea travel. Finding a way to compress helium, which allows the Aeroscraft to control its weight, was the key technological hurdle that was accomplished by the firm's founder Igor Pasternak. In the manner of a helicopter, the Aeroscraft can also take off and land vertically, enabling it to reach destinations which do not have an airport. [media id="224"] While the Aeroscraft's 115 mile per hour average speed is far slower than a jet's 500 mile per hour-plus, the overall travel time could be lower as it can travel directly from where goods are produced to where they are needed. Its makers hopes that this will make it useful to the military and aid charities operating in parts of the world with poorly developed infrastructure on the ground. [media id="225"] While it resembles a Mylar balloon, and just as flimsy, the Aeroscraft has bulletproof skin. Even if its exterior is breached, it won't deflate in the manner of a birthday balloon. [media id="227"] The firm claims that its first airships will be available to customers in mid-2015, when they will be rented out annually. A model of the zeppelin which carries 66 tons will cost more than $25 million per year, while a 250-ton version will be $55 million. Watch Catholic Online's most viral videos here!

Free US Law Dictionary
In common law civil procedure, a demurrer is a pleading by the defendant that contests the legal sufficiency of the complaint without admitting or denying the allegations therein. Demurrers are usually filed at the beginning of a case. It is filed before the answer and can be characterized as the defendant's way of saying "so what?" after reading a plaintiff's complaint.
The complaint implicitly or explicitly asserts or presumes the court has jurisdiction to decide the issue and grant the relief sought. The demurrer challenges the prosecution to prove that jurisdiction, putting the burden of proof on him. Historically, demurrer was considered a common law due process right, to be heard and decided before the defendant was required to plead "not guilty", or make any other pleading in response, without having to admit or deny any of the facts alleged.
A demurrer existed in criminal law procedure, but today is largely obsolete or abolished.
A demurrer is not a challenge to the ultimate merits of a case or claim. When ruling on a demurrer a judge is required by law to assume as true facts alleged in the complaint. Subject to very few exceptions, the Judge cannot rule on a demurrer based on the Judge's perception of a plaintiff's credibility.

Oversized hay loads will be allowed to be transported on New Mexico roads by order of the state's governor.
More About:
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez signed legislation last week allowing oversized hay loads to be transported on state roads.
Prior to the new law, transport of oversized hay loads was allowed only on national highways within the state. Under the new legislation, special permits will be issued for transport along state roads as well.
Sponsors say the measure will help livestock producers deal with the effects of a prolonged drought; rangeland conditions deteriorated in many parts of the state and sent hay prices soaring the past year.

JoyJars Arrive in Bangladesh
We are so honored to have had the opportunity to partner up with World Child Cancer, for a special delivery to some very special children across the globe. Last week, Jessie's JoyJars were delivered to Bangladesh!!
World Child Cancer, a UK-based charity, is dedicated to serving children fighting cancer in low to middle income countries. According to World Child Cancer, the survival rate for children with cancer in low to middle income countries is only 10%, leaving an estimated 100,000 children to die from cancer each year from lack of diagnosis and treatment options. Many of these children suffer through cancer without effective pain relief*
Like World Child Cancer, the Jessie Rees Foundation is dedicated to serving children battling cancer across the globe. JoyJars have been delivered to children in over 200 US children's hospitals and hospitals in 10 other countries!
For kids fighting cancer in low to middle income countries, Jessie's gift of joy and message to NEGU- Never Ever Give Up, just might be that one thing that helps them focus on something else besides cancer, something to smile about, something to distract from the pain.
A big thank you to World Child Cancer for allowing us the opportunity to share Jessie's message of encouragement to some amazing children in Bangladesh. We NEGU for them and for all kids fighting cancer around the world.

Magnolia's, Charleston
185 E. Bay Street
Charleston , South Carolina
Tel: 843 577 7771
Charleston , South Carolina
Tel: 843 577 7771
Concierge.com's insider take:
Magnolia's is a perfect lunchtime break when you find yourself on the tourist-heavy expanse of Bay Street. Chef Donald Barickman's cuisine has been dubbed "Uptown Down South," which seems to mean refined Southern classics served with a white-linen sensibility and a dollop of good humor on the side. His classic "Three Little Pigs" is a trio of slow-cooked barbecue pork sliders on house-baked buns with a spicy-and-sweet coleslaw on the side. The rich chive-spiked blue crab bisque is worthy of a visit all by itself.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 11:30 am to 10 pm, Sundays 11 am to 3:45 pm.

Super Puma helicopters: What do offshore workers think?
All Super Puma helicopter flights to UK oil installations remain temporarily suspended following a crash off Shetland in the North Sea on Friday that left four people dead.
So what are the views of some of those workers who travel in the helicopters to get to and from their jobs?
"I'm due offshore today but I'll be back in two weeks and I'm very scared about it," says Amy, who works in the same part of the oil industry as Sarah Darnley, 45, from Elgin - one of those who died in Friday's crash.
She says she will "personally refuse" to get into a Super Puma if they are reinstated and "will consider a job change if something is not done by the industry to address the issue of safety".
The Super Puma AS332 L2 had been carrying 16 passengers and two crew from the Borgsten Dolphin oil rig to Sumburgh airport in Shetland when the incident happened on Friday evening.
"Start Quote
End Quote Duncan Trapp CHC - Super Puma operatorAny offshore worker should be assured that no helicopter operator and no pilot will fly unless they believe it is safe to do so"
Along with Ms Darnley, Duncan Munro, 46, from Bishop Auckland, Gary McCrossan, 59, from Inverness, and George Allison, 57, from Winchester died. An investigation now under way has not yet established the cause of the crash.
"It´s a terrible loss," says Amy. "I only wish that they had grounded the Super Pumas when they had previous warnings."
Friday's crash was the fifth time in four years that Super Pumas have been involved in North Sea incidents, and another model - the Super Puma EC225 - was grounded following two emergencies in 2012. Those aircraft were only given the go-ahead to resume flying earlier this month.
Commenting on Friday's fatal crash, Super Puma manufacturer, Eurocopter, says: "At this point in time, limited technical information is available regarding the cause of this accident.
"Eurocopter's experts are in Aberdeen working closely with the investigation authorities to determine the cause."
'Safety concerns'Other employees describe the cramped conditions of some Super Pumas.
"The EC225 is a flying death trap," says one oil worker who has been travelling offshore for 20 years and wants to remain anonymous.
"The internal seat layout means [those] in the back... are so close that your knees are interlocked with the passenger sitting opposite you.
"In an emergency it would be nigh-on impossible to get out of such a small space."
About 26,000 people, from technicians to catering staff, work for more than 100 nights a year offshore in the UK, according to Oil and Gas UK.
The number rises to more than 50,000 when others working offshore for a few nights a year are included.
Aviation experts argue the Super Puma has a relatively good safety record, having been service in the North Sea for some 30 years and with over 800 aircraft operating around the world.
- October 2012 - All 19 people on board a Super Puma EC225 were rescued safely after it put down in the sea off Shetland. The incident was caused by a cracked shaft in the main gearbox.
- May 2012 - All 14 people on board a Super Puma EC225 were rescued when it came down about 30 miles off the coast of Aberdeen during a flight to an oil rig.
- April 2009 - All 14 passengers and two crew on board a Super Puma AS332L2 lost their lives after it came down in the North Sea. Eight of the victims came from the north east of Scotland, seven from the rest of the UK, and one from Latvia. A fatal accident inquiry is planned for October.
- February 2009 - A Super Puma EC225 ditched in fog a short distance from a BP oil platform in the ETAP field, 125 miles east of Aberdeen. All 18 people on board survived. Crew error and a faulty alert system were blamed.
Another unnamed oil worker, who accepts the helicopters are doing hundreds and hundreds of flights a day without any problems, goes on to say: "If a fixed-wing airplane had as many accidents as the Super Puma nobody would fly in it."
He says he will have his reservations about taking the helicopter again.
"Everyone who gets on tries to get a window seat in case of an emergency."
An oil worker from Fochabers in Moray, based on a platform near Shetland, agrees many workers have lost faith in the aircraft.
"The general feedback from the guys out here is that if they were asked to go on Super Puma helicopters they would certainly have doubts - to the point of refusing point blank.
"But you are then put between a rock and a hard place because if you don't go to work you can't support your family, pay your mortgage etc."
RMT union's Jake Molloy says: "There's certainly a groundswell of concern across the industry, but workers say they can't comment openly because of worries about their employment."
'Vastly improved' safetyThe partner of someone who works on a rig west of Shetland says: "Morale regarding flights is at an all time low, with many people extremely nervous to fly."
But she says most of them are reluctant to speak out.
"The fact that workers are put in this position... where they feel speaking the truth about safety issues concerning transport to and from work may result in lost jobs, is an absolute disgrace."
However, Duncan Trapp from CHC - which operated the helicopter that crashed on Friday - says: "We understand the concerns and anger among the workforce and we are devastated by Friday's tragedy. It is too early to identify the cause of the accident.
"Any offshore worker should be assured that no helicopter operator and no pilot will fly unless they believe it is safe to do so. We do not and will not cut corners on safety."
The company also stresses that "significant work by those involved in safety" in the oil and gas industry has "vastly improved the safety of those travelling to offshore installations" in the last four years.
And a spokeswoman from Oil and Gas UK, representing the industry, says "questions and any concerns" should be flagged up to the Helicopter Safety Steering Group (HSS), which is now deciding whether to continue suspending Super Pumas.
"Helicopter safety remains a focus" for the industry, she adds.

Flashy direction and quality ensemble acting only carry you so far. Sugar Hill looks sweet but has no nutritional value whatsoever.
Written and directed by Patrice Leconte; with Philippe Noiret, Richard Bohringer, and Thierry Lhermitte. Screens Friday, February 11, at 10:00 p.m.
Only the French would attempt to get away with a movie like this. Philippe Noiret, Richard Bohringer, and Thierry Lhermitte are Franaois, Vincent, and Paul respectively, three men on a mission -- to kill Paul's wife. Franaois is a powerful judge and a lifelong bachelor who uses some case files he deliberately suppressed to blackmail Vincent, who murdered his unfaithful wife and her lover but was miraculously acquitted in Franaois's courtroom. The judge's nephew Paul has problems of his own: His wife Marie has just walked out on him because she got fed up with Paul's philandering. At his nephew's behest, Franaois -- acting in a most unjudicial manner -- insists that Vincent kill Marie or the judge will produce the suppressed files and reopen Vincent's case.
Granted, the premise is paper thin, but, well, it's French. They see things differently over there. Marie didn't do anything wrong, but that's beside the point. Paul can't enjoy being single knowing that she left him, so she has to die. The three hit the road in search of Marie, and so begins one of the darkest, funniest buddy pictures since Bertrand Blier's Going Places. Noiret and Bohringer are masterful, Lhermitte holds his own, and director Patrice Leconte (Monsieur Hire) keeps it all moving at a pleasant clip.
Franaois Truffaut:
Stolen Portraits
Written and directed by Serge Toubiana and Michel Pascal. Screens Saturday, February 12, at 2:00 p.m.
The quintessential French auteur is profiled in this affectionate but even-handed documentary. Composed primarily of talking-heads interviews with the director's surviving colleagues and family, this one could have been titled "For Truffaut Lovers Only." Depardieu, Ardant, Aurel, Bazin, Rohmer, Chabrol, Ophuls A if you recognize these names you'll enjoy Stolen Portraits. If you don't recognize them, rent The 400 Blows or The Woman Next Door first.
Written by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani and Sandro Petraglia; directed by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani; with Michael Vartan, Galatea Ranzi, and Claudio Bigagli. Screens Saturday, February 12, at 4:30 p.m.
"A hundred rinses cannot wash away these kinds of stains," warns Duilio, eighteenth-century patriarch of the Benedetti ("the blessed") clan in the rolling hills of Tuscany. He's a poor farmer speaking to his fellow villagers in the town square, where a French lieutenant named Jean will be executed at dawn unless a chest of gold coins that was stolen from the Frenchman's command is returned overnight. Unbeknownst to Duilio, his own son Corrado stole the gold that afternoon while the younger Benedetti's sister Elisabetta was making love to Jean in a nearby meadow. When Duilio finds out that his son committed the robbery and that his daughter surrendered her maidenhood to the lieutenant, the patriarch's decision not to return the treasure results in Jean's death. Elisabetta, pregnant with Jean's baby, swears revenge on the thief, unaware of her family's complicity in the crime. She dies during childbirth, the first victim of a curse that will dog the Benedetti family for two centuries, causing fellow villagers to mockingly refer to them as the Maledettis ("the cursed").
Fiorile, the latest release from the Tavianis, the Italian brother team responsible for Padre Padrone and the exquisite Night of the Shooting Stars, is a romantic fable spanning several generations. By Taviani standards, the film is average. But even second-tier Taviani is superior to the best efforts of most filmmakers. The spectacular panoramas of lush Italian countryside, long a Taviani trademark, are as gorgeous as ever, the acting is solid, and the story, while occasionally confusing, is diverting. The film is no Jean de Florette, but it's no Falcon Crest, either.
Written by Henry Jaglom and Victoria Foyt; directed by Henry Jaglom; with Eric Roberts and Victoria Foyt. Screens Saturday, February 12, at 7:00 p.m.
This film is to women and their biological clocks what Jaglom's 1991 film Eating was to women and their relationships with food. Jaglom sends his protagonist, thirtyish Gena (covwriter Victoria Foyt), to a baby shower and basically just lets the camera run as the women in attendance discuss the options available when that tick, tick, ticking grows into a roar.
The Cronos Device
Written and directed by Guillermo Del Toro; with Federico Luppi and Ron Perlman. Screens Saturday, February 12, at 10:00 p.m.
A little new blood works wonders for the tired old vampire film in this gothic tale about a sixteenth-century alchemist's invention that turns up in an antique shop in modern-day Mexico City. The cronos device, as it's called, has the power to bestow upon its owner both eternal life and a thirst for human blood. The fun starts when an aging millionaire reads the alchemist's original diary and dispatches his greedy nephew to steal the device from the antique shop proprietor.
As superbly crafted as the coveted gizmo itself, The Cronos Device succeeds by adding a few inventive twists to an overworked genre. Partly in English, partly in Spanish, this Mexican delight is that country's entry in the Best Foreign Language Film category of the 1993 Academy Awards.

On this week's mailbox we've got James, who thinks we should spend a little more time thinking about the consoles and games of yesteryear.
I've noticed that at school, the pressure to be up to date with the latest gaming console is immense. My sister and I have a PlayStation 2 and an Atari, and for the past few weeks we have been playing The Simpsons Hit and Run over and over, getting quite a few 100% save files.
The PS2 is a great console, with many owners in the country. So why, apart from the FIFA games, are developers overlooking it. It makes me really frustrated, thinking that, with the upcoming release of new gen consoles, in the near future everyone will stop making games for original consoles and people like us will be forced to buy a 360 or PS3 in order tocontinue gaming.
GM says: It is sad to see our old consoles gather dust in the corner. There's nothing like blowing the dust off the Dreamcast, for a razz on Shenmue. But with new consoles comes more power, more choice, and more sophisticated games. Also, the Wii U will cost £240-£280 when it finally arrives, that's about the same as the PS2 asked for when it first hit shelves.
CVG says: It's it sad to see older consoles neglected, but there comes a time when we just have to move on. Fortunately in this current day and age classic games can be given a fresh lick of paint, or re-released on digital platforms. So while hardware might not endure good games won't fade away as quickly. Take comfort in that.

Big Brother housemate Ashleigh Hughes has said that she is considering ending her relationship with Luke Scrase.
The Essex lass confessed that she is finding it hard to cope with potential rival love interest Lauren Carre.
Ashleigh told her fellow housemates: "I can't do it with Luke anymore.
"I can be friends with him, but I'm not going to make something happen that ain't going to happen.
"He's a lovely boy and everything, I'm attracted to him, but we've got nothing in common."
She later told Caroline Wharrum that she had decided to cool the romance because of Lauren.
Hughes said: "I do like him."
Caroline replied: "You are the chilled out chick. She's fussy."
Ashleigh added: "They've got a lot in common and we don't have anything in common.
"Sometimes he does things to Lauren he would never do to me."
