I'll let a Bram Stoker fan battle that one out. Since I don't think I watched that movie and I don't care about Dracula or Vampires.
But I'm not going to change my opinion on this. Like I said before. Sure, It's Henry Selick's movie. But it's still a Tim Burton creation.
But he didn't direct it. He wrote the origina; poem. How often do you source the writer of a novel for the creation of a movie?
That's like saying that Chris Columbus owns Harry Potter because he directed some of the Harry Potter movies.
Who said anything about owning? I'm talking about the creator and end product. JK Rowling did not direct the movie, and while the original story was hers, the movie was created by Chris Columbus. Without his direction you would have gotten something very different.
Well, I'm not saying that the movie is Tim Burton's. I'm saying the creation is.
He spent 9 years working on that idea. 9 years from the writing of the original poem to the production of the film.... well, 7 technically.
I don't take offense at saying the film itself isn't Tim Burton's. I take offense at saying that it's not his creation. He did a LOT of work on it before Henry Selick came into the picture.
Therefore I think it counts in the list of Tim Burton movies. And is my favorite that he ever had a hand in.
I don't argue that it was his original idea, but you cannot source him as the creator of the film in any way. He worked on the original for a long time. The POEM. But once it was being made into a film it became a Henry Selick creation. Tim Burton is not the director or creator of the FILM. The poem is NOT the film. The MOVIE is Henry Selick's creation. It is in the list of Henry Selick's movies. Sucks that it's your favorite since Tim Burton didn't make the movie. Choose a favorite that he created.

5 This is a great game...Posted: 10/10/2012I love this game, I was really concerned about buying it because the difficulty on Dead or Alive really spiked to the point of frustration. This game is a different animal altogether. There are difficulty settings that are more realistic and I would say that makes this game open to almost anybody. If you are just a casual gamer there is a rookie mode which anyone should be able to breeze through, if you want a real challenge this game offers that too. There are plenty of things to do for one player, but the multi-player options really open the game up, either online or offline. There is single play or tag play, both or which have the smooth graphics and fast action that you would expect from a game in this series.There has been a big graphical over-hall, Team Ninja have added a dirt and sweat physics engine that really does work. As a character is dropped to the floor they will pick up dirt, the longer a fight goes on the more the characters will perspire. Some levels even have water and you can see the colour of the outfits change as they get wet. This is a welcome return to form for the series. If you are a Dead or Alive fan, but DOA 4 difficulty levels are making you hesitate, buy this game in the knowledge that if I can play it, pretty much anyone can.
4 Good game... BUT!! Changed my mind, changed my review.Posted: 29/11/2010This is a great game, it is very in-depth lots of things to do and to choose from. The graphics are stunning. But In my opinion, and I know everyone will not agree. This game is too much for the PS3. I say this because there is such a lag going from one part of the game to another. The loading screens take over a minute to come up. Also be warned you will be almost two hours before you can actually play the game. It requires a big download before it will let you in which took me about 90 minutes and then it needs to be installed on your hard drive, or the loading screens will take even longer. This can take up to 50 minutes.Overall it is a good game, but it is sadly let down by lack of processing power. This is very disappointing after such long delays in it being released.Amedment to review:Having had the game for some time now my opinion has changed. The loading times were apprently due to excessive site traffic and have now significantly reduced. The game is not very accessible straight out of the box, but the more you play it, the better it gets and the management side of the game is pretty good too.
4 Not a mimetic poly-alloy!!Posted: 30/05/2009The Terminator bust looks very nice, but feels very cheap. It has light up eyes and sound. The sound quality is not great, in fact it sounds a little bit like a bumble bee in a biscuit tin. That is all of the complaining over with. This is a nice addition to any collection, and let's face it, it's not actually that expensive when compared to other items of the same style.The disc itself has a branched version of three versions of the film, which is very nice. The picture and sound quality are excellent when you consider that this 18 years old now it holds its own very well indeed. It has some very nice special features which were noticeably absent from the previous blu-ray release. All in all this is very nice indeed, but maybe one for the sad collector, much like myself.
2 Beautifully illustrated but flawedPosted: 25/02/2009Beautifully illustrated in the style of the artwork of the game itself. Full moves lists and bios are included. That's the good news, the bad news is the only unlockables listed are the extra characters (and those are not correct). There is a huge technical section giving zoning and animation speeds etc for every character. I am sure this may be helpful for tournament players although I would expect that they would have sussed all this out for themselves anyway, but for the average gamer it may as well be written in a foreign language. It seems a shame to me that what could have been a beautiful and helpful book is flawed by such things, it is almost as though a third of the book could be discarded and yet it does not answer many of the questions that I personally have. I understand that everyone is different and maybe I am too much of a casual gamer or something. It is well presented and a nice addition to your Street Fighter IV collection, but little else, for me at least.
5 A mimetic poly alloy € LIQUID METAL!!Posted: 06/08/2008The film itself needs no comments; it is the full directors cut and is as good as it ever was. So the thing to review here is the disc. This is a vanilla disc in that it has no extras. One useful thing it does have is a test screen and set up instructions. This allows you to set up the brightness and contrast on your TV to ensure that you get the best possible picture. This is worth doing and the result is truly outstanding this film is 17 years old, but this transfer makes it look brand new. As I said there are no real extras on this disc, but don't let that put you off, this price is half of what you are asked to pay for blu-ray in the high street, and for my money well worth it. This was a truly ground braking movie in its day that holds its own in today's CGI world, and an essential addition to any collection. I'm sure that a special edition will come out in the future, but the question is can you wait. Buy this movie now you will not be disappointed.
3 Could have been so much more.Posted: 05/08/2008I have played and loved every game in this series. This one is in my opinion the least enjoyable. Not because it's a bad game. The graphics are good the fight animations are great, and the characters are well developed. There is a multitude of different game modes to play through. The problem is that unless you are willing to spend hours on end studying and perfecting your skills they are for the most part too difficult. The story mode being the exception to this. It is the only mode (apart from versus) where you can select a difficulty rating. I realise that this is partly due to online score boards, but surely you can have online score boards for different difficulty levels. I have enjoyed the story mode, but find the arcade mode so frustrating that it ceases to be fun anymore. This game should not be ignored lightly, it is very good but just not for casual gamers.

4 Henry Jones JuniorPosted: 06/06/2008First of all let me say; this is not Lego Star Wars (LSW). That said it's impossible to review this game without making comparisons. The combat system here is not as smooth as in LSW, but this is not a bad thing. When you first play the game it seems slow by comparison to LSW. It is made more interesting though, in that now you can pick up useful objects that are either lying around or that defeated enemies drop. This is not one of those games where you can carry thousands of items in a little rucksack on your back. Once you pick up an item and want a different one you have to discard the first. This adds a new level of strategy. There are more puzzles to solve as you would expect. Star Wars it isn't a good game it is. It is good, but not great, perhaps the novelty has worn off a little, it is worth a try. If you like the genre and want a little comedy thrown in this game is for you.
4 Beyond LegendPosted: 20/09/2007If you liked Tomb Raider Legend, but found it was over too quickly then this is the game for you. If you loved the original Tomb Raider and like me think that no other game in the series has measured up to it. Then this is the game for you. If you like action adventure games with some taxing puzzles, then this is the game for you. I have played the PS2 version and it rocks, with the 360's power this version should blow it out of the water. I found myself back in 1996, you walk into each environment and the memories come flooding back, they are not the same as before and yet some how feel very familiar. My only complaint with the game is that it has gone too far from the Legend game engine. By that I mean that Legend was too much if you jump and are facing in vaguely the right direction you will grab the rope or ledge. This did become a little annoying, this game has tried to correct that and has gone too far the other way. It is a truly great game, but be prepared to go over the same ground over and over again until you get it spot on.


text: My primary carry piece is a Springfield Armory 1911A1 GI45. I've put maybe 200 rounds through it so far, and I feel comfortable with carrying it. I was wondering how often I should clean it after carrying it around so often. I live in a low humid area, so rust shouldn't be a problem. Should I change out the ammo every once in a while, and put fresh oil on all metal parts, or should I just clean it after every range trip (Which I do anyway).

Hi: 9° Lo:1°
THE FAMILY of murder victim Adrian Locke have paid tribute to their "loveable rogue" and pleaded for the public's help in finding his killer.
Paramedics found Mr Locke, 39, with stab wounds outside a property on Teme Road in Tolladine, Worcester on Wednesday (January 2) evening.
Despite their best efforts to save his life he was confirmed dead at the scene by a doctor a short time later. A post mortem examination found the cause of death was a stab wound to the torso.
In a statement his family, from Droitwich, said that while he was no saint, his death had devastated them, and in particular his mother Lilly Locke.
She said: "Adie has sometimes been on the wrong side of the law, but he was a loveable rogue.
"His family was his life and he was a brilliant uncle to his nieces and nephews, who idolised him. He was always generous and couldn't do enough for them. He was a big kid himself and a real joker who was always teasing the kids with all sorts of tricks.
"He also had a teenage son, who he did not see much of as he grew up, but they had been getting to know each other recently; it's so sad that chance has now gone."
She said her son had enjoyed the simple things in life that cost nothing and he had simple tastes.
"He didn't need expensive stuff and loved his mountain bike because it gave him freedom and the opportunity to get out and work. He did building and gardening work and was a hard worker. He liked his work."
Mrs Locke led the family's appeal for those with information about his death to contact West Mercia Police.
"For the sake of our family, please help the police if you know anything. We need to know who killed Adrian and why," she said.
"We hope in time we can piece together exactly what happened to him that night, and hope in time that we get justice for him."
"We will never get over what as happened - it has left a hole in our hearts that will never heal. His death has left us all heartbroken and we don't know how we will cope without him - he meant the world to me."
"I just want him to come home to his mum, but I know that will never happen."

Americans are trained mice when they hear the word "Sale".
What most economists/researchers will forget is the cost of standing in line. That is, the cost of standing in line before the store opens and the cost of standing in the checkout line. Those costs have to added to the cost of the products sold.
A few years ago there was an insult directed at Cleveland Cavalier's basketball player LeBron James. I believe it was by the owner of a nationwide pizza franchise that also owned part of the Cavalier's oppenent in the NBA playoffs. As part of an apology the pizza franchises in Cleveland offered a maximum of 2 pizzas at 23 cents each. (23 is LeBron James' jersey number.)
People stood in line for up to 2 hours to save $9.54 on the 2 pizzas.
One could say that thier time (and wage value) is less than $4.77 per hour for a 2 hour wait. A one-hour wait would mean thier wage value was less that $9.54 per hour.
What is the real paradox is that food pantries are reporting a steep rise in people asking for free food this year, yet crowds at Black Friday events are larger than last year.
Of course food pantries might not ask for proof of destitution, and poeple that have jobs now are less worried that they will be laid off in the future, or we might see another spend/charge/bankrupt cycle in 2010 from people gaming the system.

UN Secretary General no longer fit for purpose after he insults women by ignoring UNSCR 1325.
It's time for women (and supportive men) to call for Ban Ki-Moon to step down as UN Secretary General - he seems to have passed his 'sell-by' date and is no longer fit for purpose. On October 31st, 2014, the very day of the 14th anniversary UN Security Council Resolution 1325 calling for women to be equal participants in peace-processes Ban Ki-Moon established a High-Level Independent Panel to re-think Peace Operations. He appointed fourteen members: eleven men and three women!
This week-end let's remember - in the the middle of World War 1 women very nearly managed to negotiate an end to the war. In 1915 female delegates from the Hague Congress travelled to meet top statesmen in London, Washington, Berlin, the Hague, Copenhagen, Vienna, Paris, Petrograd, Berne, Budapest, Oslo.The two delegations of 13 women included British Chrystal Macmillan (see pic), American Jane Addams, Dutch Aletta Jacobs, Hungarian Rosika Schwimmer. 'The belligerents said they wanted to cease hostilities but could not ask for mediation as this would infer they were losing militarily.'...'Meanwhile thousands of men went 'up the line' to their deaths, as if they had no individual lives of their own but were merely cogs in the war-machine.'

Reeva Steenkamp, Pistorius, Evening Standard
This was my letter in today's London Evening Standard.
Yesterday in South Africa a man was sentenced by a Judge to serve a sentence that is predicted to amount to around 10 months in prison followed by Community Service. Was his crime a minor burglary or persistent shop-lifting? Nope. He killed a woman.
Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead by her boyfriend Oscar Pistorius on Valentine's Day in 2013. Statistically speaking, Steenkamp was one of three women killed by an intimate partner on Valentine's Day in the country. In South Africa, a woman is killed by domestic violence on average every eight hours. The rate of women killed in South Africa by their partners, is five times higher than the global average.
According to a report (by Lydia Smith , International Business Times Sept 11 2014) the day after Reeva Steenkamp was killed, she was due to wear black in a "Black Friday" protest against South Africa's high number of rapes. The event was spurred by the gang rape and murder of a 17-year-old girl, who managed to identify her attacker, her ex-boyfriend, shortly before she died.
Earlier this week a man called Kon Karapanagiotidis (@kon_K) tweeted '57 women killed this year by men in Australia. No one killed by terrorists. When do we declare war against violence against women.'

FYI - worrying stuff:
1 August 2014 - New research released by the Fawcett Society shows that women – and especially those on low pay – are firmly shut out from the recovery.
Direct Link to Full 21-Page 2014 Report: http://www.fawcettsociety.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/The-Changing-Labour-Market-2.pdf
The new report - The changing labour market 2: women, low, pay and gender equality in the emerging recovery' - includes analysis of national employment data [2] and a survey of 1,003 low paid women [3]. Key findings include:
- Since the start of the crisis in 2008, almost a million (826,000) extra women have moved into types of work that are typically low paid and insecure. Since 2008, female under-employment has nearly doubled (to 789,000) and an additional 371,000 women have moved into self-employment, which is typically very low paid. 1 in 8 low paid women now describe themselves as on a zero hours contract.
- The increasing levels of women in low paid work, along with the declining value of low pay, is contributing to the widening inequality gap between women and men. Last year the gender pay gap increased for the first time in five years and now stands at 19.1 per cent for all employees
- Low paid women are feeling the cost of living crisis sharply: nearly 1 in 2 say they feel worse off now than five years ago; nearly 1 in 10 have obtained a loan from a pay day lender in the last twelve months; nearly 1 in 12 low paid women with children have obtained food from a food bank in the past twelve months

Royal Jordanian Airlines - Golden anniversary? They kept passengers trapped without food and information for over 7 hours.
Yesterday (December 12) Royal Jordanian Airlines brought disgrace to their country. Jordan's national air-line behaved in exact contrast to usual Jordanian courtesy and hospitality.
Royal Jordanian kept us sitting on a plane for seven hours on the ground at Amman, Queen Alia Airport without food or information. The Airbus was packed with British and Middle East passengers of all ages including children.
The flight from Amman to London should have taken just over 5 hours. We boarded the Airbus soon after 11.30am. Seven hours later we were still sitting waiting for take-off. After some hours, in desperation a female passenger fetched water and plastic glasses from the galley and walked down the aisle serving the passengers with water herself. The cabin crew served passengers no food – not even a packet of nuts.
Throughout much of the 7 hours the Captain kept the seat-belt lights switched on. This resulted in angry clashes between cabin attendants passengers who needed to go to the lavatory – especially elderly people.
During the first seven hours of our twelve hour ordeal we were left uninformed about what was happening. The Captain only bothered to make two announcements in the first seven hours. After two and a half hours at around 2.30pm the Captain announced our flight had jumped up the queue of planes waiting to take off and we would be departing in five minutes. Not true. Four hours later we were still sitting there.
We heard no more information from the Captain for a further two and a half hours, by which time we had been sitting five hours on the plane. He finally admitted there was a technical problem with the plane and told us we would be transferred to another aircraft. He said we would be transferred in twenty minutes time. Around 45 minutes later we were taken by bus to another aircraft. Where we waited at least another hour.
I am a frequent air traveller – I have travelled to 91 countries. I can appreciate that poor weather conditions such as yesterday's snow can cause delays.
I also understand that occasionally planes have mechanical problems which need to be fixed. But nothing excuses keeping a passengers on a crowded Airbus on the tarmac for seven hours without food or information.

Syria. Damned if we do and damned if we don't. Men have messed up the region...
#Syria. Everyone will damn the West if we intervene and damn the West if we don't intervene. I am glad I am not a world leader today. It's a no win situation for everyone including and above all for the Syrian people. The end solution will have to be political.
We have seen in Egypt, Libya etc what a mess the men have made of the region. This time the international community should comply with UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and the subsequent related UN Resolutions and the equivalent European Parliament Resolution and ensure that in Syria at least 40% of participants in all peace talks at all levels and any interim Governments are women - there are plenty of capable women from the region in civil society.
Whoever is responsible for ordering use of chemical weapons and for any other war crimes including rapes should be indicted and brought to the War Crimes Tribunal. Assad has no place in Syria's future.

CIOJ Journalists rap Ofcom over plans to stifle regional news.
The Chartered Institute of Journalists has condemned plans to reduce regional news output on ITV as a "total betrayal" by Ofcom of viewers around the country. I am a Fellow of the CIOJ and as someone who lives outside the London metropolis I wholeheartedly support the CIOJ protests at plans to stifle regional news.
Ofcom, the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries, has approved what the Institute says are "dramatic reductions" in the length of regional lunchtime and late evening bulletins, and agreed that the early-evening round-up of the day's news can now include ten minutes of events from outside the region.
The Chairman of the CIoJ's Broadcasting Division says the planned cuts take coverage of news in the regions to a new low. Paul Leighton – a long-serving BBC producer and former Radio 2 newsreader - commented "Viewers at weekends will see the 10 minute regional slots reduced to a paltry five minutes and lunchtime output more than halved.
"As a regulator, Ofcom was put in place to protect the interests of the consumer – the viewer – not to pander to an industry which made £464m pre-tax profits last year and still has the gall to plead poverty."
Leighton said he welcomed the broadcaster's plan to revert to greater localisation by operating 14 regions rather than the 8 to which it was reduced in 2009. "But with such a major reduction in the length of bulletins, the exercise looks suspiciously cosmetic.
"If Ofcom won't do its job as a regulator, perhaps it's time the job was given to an organisation that will!"

Formed in 1884, the Chartered Institute of Journalists (CIoJ) is the world's oldest established professional body for journalists, and a representative voice of media and communications professionals throughout the UK and the Commonwealth.

Egypt's latest Constitutional Declaration leaves out rights of women.
Egyptian women demand their rights. At the height of the revolutions men welcomed women as partners in the struggle for democracy. But once the dictators were ousted, men pushed women out of the picture. It's happening all over again. Absence of women's rights and equal opportunities was one of the main reasons for refusing the 2012 constitution that has been temporarily suspended yet the constitutional declaration issued on July 8th 2013is just as bad. It steers clear of any articles concerning women's issues and their right to equality. I just received the following from an Egyptian women's NGO.
'In spite of the continuity of women's powerful participation in the protests of June 30 and their strong presence in different public spaces in governorates of Egypt, the majority of official discussions have witnessed a lack of women's participation and have also failed to raise or address women's issues, despite the dense participation of women in protests that were called for by "Tamarud" or the "Rebel" movement as well as different political forces for example, since day one.
This happened regardless of what women and girls paid as a price for their taking part in demonstrations and their gathering, particularly in Tahrir square, where they were exposed to the most violent sexual assaults, amid ferocious negligence from those responsible for calling for the demonstrations from parties and revolutionary groups. This is one of the main indicators in analyzing the vision of the authorities regarding the importance and the kind of participation of women in public life. We see that one of the most important forms of political equality that should be implemented immediately includes forming a gender-balanced government and to t embark on the next phase with expanded definitions and wider applications to the concept of women's participation in the political process, so that they become a part of the discussion and decision-making process, and to genuinely reflect the wide female participation on the popular level, on diverse political levels, instead of reducing women's participation in the political process to a symbolic gesture or some decorative criteria that needs to be met.
Thus Nazra for Feminist Studies demands two things:
First: Fair participation of women in decision-making positions throughout the next phase. As such, there is an urgent need in having various ministries headed by women professionals in different fields of the government, the formation of which is currently being discussed. In addition, women must participate in the committee for constitution amendments which would grant greater gender representation of women and their issues. Women must also take part in the efforts being made in restructuring the security apparatus and the judiciary; all of which are steps which should start as soon as possible.
Second: Acknowledging and integrating women's political, social and economic issues in the transitional period in order to grant comprehensive understanding of women's reality in Egypt, as well as avoiding discussing women's issues individually, as if separated from wider societal interactions; listening to their demands as well as holding those who committed crimes against them accountable.
-- Position Paper- 12 July 2013
Exclusion of Women in the Political Process and the Constitutional Declaration Should be Treated Immediately…
Political Forces and those Leading the Transitional Period Need to Integrate Women in a Fair and Equitable Manner within the Roadmap of June 30

Is Gezi Park Turkey's Tahrir Square? Women may be the weather-vane.
In May, Turkish women's rights activist Efsa Kuraner e-mailed me from Istanbul, "Things are fast going down the plughole, it's pretty depressing. The Islamic twist is becoming suffocating with how the Prime Minister keeps trying to cajole women to stay home and have 3-5 children. They are offering early retirement to women for having upwards of 3 kids..!! Divorce is frowned upon. Abortion is all but banned. Only there in name. I am afraid darker days are yet to come." Her predictions were prescient.
A peaceful protest by Istanbulites against plans to chop down ancient trees and transform the city's public park, Gezi Park, into a large shopping mall has erupted into a far wider protest. BBC reports say the unrest has spread to 60 cities and towns across Turkey, including the political capital Ankara and popular tourism centers of Bodrum, Konya and Izmir.
In my travels around the world I have noted how attitudes towards women are a pretty accurate weather-vane indicating what is happening in the wider politics of a country. In visits to Turkey in the past three years I saw rising anxiety about razor-sharp divisions between the secular and those who want a society where women "breed" for their country and wear the hijab.

Margaret Thatcher. Women in Politics. Edward Heath. Sir Bernard Weatherill.
(CNN) -- When it came to promoting other women in politics, Margaret Thatcher was a disappointment. In fact, her main legacy for women was that she was a woman holding the position of prime minister for 11½ years.
My son was 5 years old when Thatcher first won election as prime minister, the first woman to do so. By the time she left office, he was a young man of 17. He didn't remember a country with a male prime minister.
Lesley Abdela
As a feminist and women's rights campaigner who opposed many of Thatcher's policies, I am still trying to work out how I feel about her. As prime minister, Thatcher did almost nothing to promote women's rights actively, but at the same time, an entire generation grew up assuming it was normal to have a woman as prime minister. For my full article go to :

International Women's Day - a record year for Women MPs according to the IPU - Quotas and PR electoral systems.
Lesley's International Women's Day Letter.
There have been oodles of depressing news this past year for women so let me give you a few reasons to celebrate.Good news! 2012 was a year of higher than usual level of progress on women's election to parliaments. I have been tracking and promoting women's progress in parliaments globally for over 30 years because I am convinced this is the key to democratic transformation and to every aspect of progress for women's rights and equality, including addressing violence against women. Progress never feels fast enough, but it is moving in the right direction.
According to a new Inter-parliamentary Union (IPU) report, in 2012 the global average of women in parliaments rose to 20.3 per cent, up from 19.5 per cent in 2011. This is nearly double the usual annual rate of increase. 33 lower houses of parliaments and 17 upper houses reached the 30% threshold necessary for women parliamentarians to have an impact on decision-making. This is more than triple the number 10 years ago.
Countries with the highest electoral gains for women MPs in 2012 elections?
The three countries with the highest gains of women MPs in 2012 were: Senegal (42.7% women MPs), Timor Leste (38.5%) Algeria (31.6 %). All three countries used legislated quotas for the first time.Africa
The high percentage of women elected in Senegal, brought Africa's regional average for women MPs up to 20.4 per cent. Sub-Saharan Africa now has four parliaments in the top ten world rankings of women in parliament. Senegal's 2012 elections were the first to be held since the adoption of a gender parity law in 2010. It requires that all candidate lists for legislative, regional, municipal and rural elections comprise equal numbers of men and women candidates, with men's and women's names alternated. Non- compliance with the gender parity requirement disqualified parties from the electoral process. In addition to enforcing the law, the government and women's organizations conducted a large-scale public awareness campaign and training sessions for women candidates.In Sierra Leone, voters showed they were more progressive than the political parties. According to the Media the 15 successful women scored the highest percentage of votes in the elections, beating all their male counterparts and illustrating that political parties may not be as supportive of women candidates as the electorate. The 10 parties had all agreed to seek more women candidates as part of a drive to increase the proportion of women lawmakers from less than 20 per cent in the outgoing parliament to at least 30 per cent, but the parties chose only 38 women out of their 586 candidates.
Arab countries
Algeria is the first and only Arab country to have more than 30% women in a region which has so far failed to deliver on the promise of democratic change for women in the Arab Spring countries of Egypt and Libya and which continues to have the lowest regional average –13.2 per cent.Asia
In Asia too there were notable successes in women's parliamentary representation. . Timor Leste (up 10.8 percentage points) and an increase of 9.6 percentage points in Mongolia.Asia is the slow and steady tortoise in the race, but at least the figures are moving in the right direction. The regional average increased by 3 percentage points from 15.2 percent in 2002 to 17.9 percent in 2012.
Women made a few advances in Europe in 2012. Due to quota legislation the percentage of women in the Serbian parliament increased from 22% to 32.2% and in France from 19% to 27%. European countries have made improvements over the past 10 years. The region now has an average of 23.2 per cent women MPs, up from 17.4 per cent in 2002.The Americas
The Americas, have the highest regional average in the world. (24.1%,). In 2012 a record number of women were elected in Mexico, El Salvador Jamaica and the United States of America (USA. ). In Mexico the percentage of women elected leapt from 26% to 37%. The USA, where women now account for 18 per cent in the House of Representatives and 20 per cent in the Senate, saw an unprecedented number of women candidates. Nevertheless, the USA jumped only one place in world rankings from 78th to 77th in 2012.
Lessons identified? Quotas combined with a PR Electoral system,
IPU Secretary General Anders B. Johnsson says,"Although quotas remain contentious in some parts of the world, they remain key to progress on a fundamental component of democracy - gender parity in political representation. There can be no claim to democracy without delivering on this."
9 out of the top 10 countries with the highest increase in the number of women MPs in their lower house of parliament used quotas and had a proportional representation (PR) electoral system.
7 out of the 9 lower houses of parliament with a decrease in women MPs did not use quotas. Where no quotas were used, women took just 12 per cent of seats, well below the global average.
22 of the 48 countries holding elections last year used quotas. Where quotas had been legislated, women took 24% of parliamentary seats; with voluntary quotas, women they took 22% of seats.
Quotas need to be accompanied by sanctions for non-compliance and women candidates should be placed in winnable positions on party lists. Political commitment to including women's parliamentary participation is also a must.
PR Electoral system
It is easier to use a quota system with a PR voting system than with a first past the post system. In addition PR delivered a much higher percentage of women MPs (25%) in 2012 than first-past-the-post (14%) or a mixture of the two systems (17.5%).Statistics Source http://www.ipu.org/PDF/publications/WIP2012E.pdf

Brenda Strong's All-Natural Approach to Good Health

When diagnosed with high cholesterol, "Desperate Housewives" star Brenda Strong went all natural. In this Lifescript exclusive, the actress shares her heart-healthy approach, battle with infertility and secret to staying fit…
Brenda Strong may not be instantly recognizable, but her voice is: She's the voiceover of celestial Mary Alice Young, who watches over the women of Wisteria Lane.
Off-screen, the 50-year-old actress is as concerned about women – especially their health.
"Educating women about their hidden risks of heart disease, being overweight and smoking is important," Strong explains.
That's because she has a family history of heart disease.
"My mother died last year from long-term side effects of a stroke, and my father passed away in April from heart failure," she says.
That history and a high-cholesterol diagnosis spurred Strong to take steps to get her levels under control and encourage other women to get heart-healthy.
How does she stay fit? Yoga. In fact, she's a certified instructor, has her own studio and works at the Mind Body Institute at UCLA in Los Angeles. The discipline helped her lower her cholesterol and overcome infertility, she says.
Read on to find out how.
When were you diagnosed with high cholesterol?
In 2007, after my mother had her stroke. She was 67 and it alarmed me. I did a battery of blood tests, and my overall total score was high (above 200). [According to the American Heart Association, a heart-healthy level is less than 200 mg/dL for total cholesterol.]
What did your doctor recommend?
The irony is that when I had my physical, my general practitioner – who smelled of cigarette smoke and was overweight – preached to me about exercising more and eating less meat, butter and other high-cholesterol, fatty foods.
I explained that I taught and practiced yoga every day, hiked and ate a mostly vegetarian diet, except for the occasional piece of fish or poultry. I didn't see what more I could do in my lifestyle to improve my levels.
So what did you do?
I went to a naturopathic doctor. First, he did a baseline heart scan to see if there was any plaque – it came back 100% clean.
Instead of medication, we decided to try more natural methods to lower my cholesterol levels.
So, I took psyllium fiber husk for 30 days in a row. My overall score dropped 35 points from that alone! I was amazed that something so simple and natural could have such a powerful impact.
And I took other supplements – red yeast rice, niacin, CoQ10, omega-3 fish oil and flaxseed oil.
Any other dietary changes?
I used to bake a lot of cookies and muffins. I also once loved cheese and milk products. Now, I've all but eliminated them from my diet – except for the occasional shaved Parmesan cheese on an arugula salad.
I also added more fiber to my diet through complex-carbohydrate grains such as quinoa, spelt and amaranth. And I eat high-fiber, high-protein and low-carb bread.
Did your approach work?
I'm happy to say my numbers are more normal now.
Did you make any lifestyle changes?
I was in good shape and otherwise healthy to begin with. For me, the big difference was reducing stress levels through breathing.
There are yogic breathing exercises I practice that can stop the stress response and elicit the relaxation response in a couple of minutes. It's my secret weapon that's available to me at any moment of the day or night.
I'm also mindful not to push when my body is ready to stop. I tend to be a go-getter, sapping my energy. Napping or stopping to meditate for 5-15 minutes helps.
How else did yoga improve your health?
Yoga is an amazing way to de-stress and detox through postures that strengthen the musculoskeletal system and help to balance the endocrine system.
It also releases positive hormones in the bloodstream and helps reduce cortisol [the stress hormone], leaving you with an overall euphoric feeling of well-being, which is wonderful for the heart and mind.
Plus, yoga helps with a number of issues, including weight loss, circulatory problems and anti-aging.
It also helps with fertility issues if you do poses that focus specifically on the reproductive organs and balancing hormones, and use your breath to stop the stress response of dealing with reproductive difficulties.
Did you have trouble conceiving?
I had difficulty getting pregnant the first time but, at age 34, managed to conceive on my own. While I was pregnant, I decided to take my yoga practice to the next level and became a teacher.
When my son was two, I began to try to conceive again. But I had gone on an extreme training schedule for a film, so I got very thin and stopped ovulating.
Fertility issues are quite emotional and private. Why did you go public?
To help other women. I recognized that keeping this difficult journey to ourselves is part of the unbearable pain and can keep women from their dream of becoming a parent.
While teaching yoga, I became aware that women needed tools like yoga to help them cope, reconnect to their bodies and manage the massive stress that reproductive difficulties can cause.
I couldn't just sit by and not offer up my own story of how yoga helped me. That's why I created the DVDs for my
Strong Yoga 4 Fertility program
– to share my infertility story.
How did yoga help you overcome infertility?
Yoga and acupuncture put me back on track during my secondary infertility period.
I conceived again and began to teach other women who were struggling with infertility. I found it extremely empowering. It helped all of us stay connected to our bodies while we went on the often unpredictable roller-coaster ride of the fertility journey.
How did you begin with yoga?
An actress I respected told me how it benefited her. I initially sought a way to ground myself and get a great workout. From day one, I was hooked. Little did I know it would be life-changing and a vocation for healing myself.
What are some of your favorite poses?
I love the double pigeon pose for hips, seated forward bend for hamstrings and heart, and legs-up-the-wall pose for hormone balancing and nervous- and immune-system nourishment.
Many poses are fun because they're challenging and impressive looking. But the most basic poses are my favorites.
I also love restorative poses for stress relief, such as reclining bound angle pose, legs-up-the-wall pose and corpse pose.

engine light on, ran hot within 2 miles, no heat and coolant would drain. Mechanic fixed water pump. after fixed - overheating and coolant drained stopped and heater works. However, engine light still on and car now runs rough (spark plugs were changed when water pump fixed). Mechanic had diagnostic down and was told the computer module was bad. I drove the car and within two weeks when I was driving down the road I lost power and have not been able to restart the car - not even with a jump. I've gotten different feedback from it sounds like its not getting gas, starter problem, alternator problem or compression issues. Would the bad computer module cause these different types of conditions when trying to start? Is it best to get the computer module replaced before getting anything else done? Thanks for your help

This babe's a runner and has very rock hard legs. That was likewise the reason they looked so nice. In a not many moments, this babe finished quivering and lay back, temporarily without breath. I took the opportunity to kiss her vagina one time afresh, kiss the one and the other her tits, then I picked her up and lay her on the sand by the rock.
The relationship part 21It was a much different walk then in the past. When this babe wasn't keeping pace I would just give the leash a tug and shed catch up right away. I know it was probably humiliating to her but that was the idea. All I know was I was as hard as a rock and couldn't await for the next part.
I've to admit this wasn't an original idea. I got the idea from a porno movie I had seen. |

Re: America's Cup opening races
So I think it has now become clear that the Oracle boat being a tad faster off the wind (if that can be truly used as a sailing term, they're never really off the wind) is not going to cut it against a boat that is significantly faster upwind.
Only great sailing and excellent tactics are going to do it but I believe OTUSA has neither. By "firing" Kostecki they now have Ben Ainslee as tactician but he seems to be a little out of sorts with Spithill. These guys have to be totally in sync.
The Barker/Davies relationship is so close it has been said that they finish each other's sentences. That's going to be hard to beat.
The score for ETNZ is now 6 wins to 1 loss. It is hard to conceptualise this going any other way.

Hey there! I've recently started playing Jax in the jungle again after taking a hiatus and I was wondering if you guys could tell me how my build is? I play him as a jungler. START- H. Machete, 5 pots. V First B - Claw(leave it like that), Boots, prioritize IBG afterwards After I get Gauntlet, I build a warmogs and from there this is my build by a regular late game. Merc boots, IBG, Warmogs, BotRK, Maw, Rage Blade. The thing is with this build, I can't really do much damage before I get sheen into IBG. I know the problem with Jax is he kinda needs to snowball for his items, but I'm not sure if I'm building him right from the jungle. Should I start for Hextech gunblade instead of and IBG, or perhaps triforce? Although, I find that building Triforce is quite costly and I usually only build it if I'm super mega rofl fed. Thanks for any help guys!

This should get you started I make no mention in there of Triforce, but it is a viable item. Since it is so costly, though, I usually don't make it passed getting Sheen before the game ends since I prioritize other items that are a bit more cost-effective. Sheen will definitely enhance his burst damage, though. And a completed Triforce / IBG will make Jax a bit more likely to stick while increasing his survivability. It's all situational, as mentioned in my post that I linked to you. Some times, you can afford to pick up Sheen early, right after completing Hextech or BotRK. Other games - this might not be recommended. Just feel the situation based on how your team is doing and how the enemy team is doing.

Dramatic decreases in the cost of storage, combined with equally dramatic improvements in network connectivity will make it possible for communities to collaboratively generate and analyze very large distributed datasets. We will describe application scenarios that motivate this work and provide a broad view of what advances in systems software are needed to make this vision a reality. In many application scenarios, datasets describe spatio-temporal regions. Our approach is to develop systems software able to leverage spatio-temporal descriptive metadata to support a broad range of application areas. We will describe techniques for optimized distributed data storage, indexing, retrieval and processing of ensembles of spatio-temporal datasets. We will then describe techniques for handing spatio-temporal and relational queries directed against these datasets distributed among storage systems located in multiple parallel machines and clusters. Finally, we will describe multiple-query optimization techniques that involve grid based semantic caching along with identification and exploitation of intermediate results shared between the queries.

i got this when i first started getting acne and i wasnt a fan, it doesnt foam easly and it doesnt get rid of any pimples, and the smell is weird.
I have been using this product since I was 13...so 8 years. It was recommended to me by my dermatologist at the time and I have continued to use it since. I love it because it takes off all my makeup. Even my eye makeup, which is great, b/c I refuse to buy eye makeup remover. I want it all off in one swipe. Which is what this stuff does. I do agree that it is drying at times and wouldn't recommend it for dry skin. I usually follow this up with a toner and other acne treatments and moisturizer, so I have no prob with the drying-ness of it. I will continue to buy it.
It says it works good, and its like their classic face wash almost, but it only keeps your skin not oily for like an hour unless your skin doesn't produce any oil, then...
Not mild, not effective, smells icky. It stripped my skin and ruined my week. An enthusiastic thumbs down for this product.
Did nothing for my acne other than make me drier than dry and look older than old. This may be good for an oily teenager but not adult acne. It left me parched for weeks after only 2 uses. Not a fan of most of this line. Cheap ingredients and if you look at the ingredients there are a few known irritants in it. Everyone things their stuff is gentle but it's just full of man made chemicals.
EDITED REVIEW: So I've tried just about every cleanser out there and they all SUCK. I know my derm said not to use any medicated cleansers but 1. I've slowed down on how often I use retinods and 2. Like I said, everything else sucks.
So let me just recap and summarize my original review: Basically I've been using this cleanser for years and I *thought* it was tearing my skin up because it was stripping and drying my skin out. But, I also did mention that this was the only cleanser that has kept my skin clear, with or without retinoid usage. I think the irritation I experienced was most likely some sort of dermatitis from retinoid over-use and that has been taken care of. I have no more irritation, except for the agony I've been suffering from trying so many different cleansers (eheem, check my swap list for proof).
Edit to today, and I'm soooo happy I'm using this again. This cleanser helps me exfoliate my skin, especially all the crusty stuff left behind on those few days I do use retinoids. The dryness I experience is easily taken care of with some moisturizer. I've also experienced some swelling from other cleanser and boy oh boy did I look fugly. I would then wash my face a couple of times with this and the swelling would just disappear!!! I think Neutrogena must know my genetic facial code or some s**t cuz this is *the* only cleanser that works for me. I never have to use a separate m/u remover, calms my skin, makes me look and feel just beautiful and over the years It has prevented my skin from breaking out.
I also mentioned in a previous review that my son had a heat rash over the summer and started getting a few breakouts. He used this once and the little bumps completely dried out. My daughter uses it in the summer also when she gets little pimples and my DH has also been hooked on this for years and his skin is gorgeous!
After my horrible experiences and so much money wasted with tons of other cleansers I've decided to just stop the non-sense and realize this is my staple, HG cleanser. I have backup bottles, different formulas (cream and foam) and the wipes in my gym bag. My Dove beauty bar is also there for when my skin gets a little too dry so I'm all set.
ADDING MORE: Had a visit with my derm and he actually talked about how good this cleanser is and to continue using it. He also said that the cetaphil was indeed irritating because of that sulfa something stuff in it. LOL. Not quite sure what it is.

I have very oily skin and this product is nothing short of a miracle. If you have an oily skin, this will work great.
I'm always searching for a new face cleanser to use because i have mild acne that will never go away. I found this product because it looked like a nice, simple non-irritating cleanser. Turns out this product ended up drying out my already dry and oily skin, then it went on to help worsen the acne. Not good! I ended up going to the dermatologist and she says she wouldn't recommend it =/
This cleanser doesn't work on everyone. I have stubborn acne that never goes away. I wanted a simple skin care routine so I bought the foaming version of this cleanser and hoped for the best. I used it once in the morning and once at night. I never wore any make-up, but the cleanser still didn't work. Don't let Vanessa Hudgen's commercial for this product suck you into buying it. It only works for some people with occasional acne. Too weak for people with moderate to mild acne. I gave it two stars because I have heard some really good success stories. If you think it'll work for you, give it a shot. It isn't a lot of money. Anyways, I use Biore Skin Care products now and they seem to be helping a lot. I only have a pimple or two left. =]]]

Back in the 6th grade I freaked out when I got my first batch of pimples streaming my forehead. I saw commericals for this on TV and I've always sort of been drawn to Neutrogena because of the pretty products and packaging. But this did nothing for my acne. It dried me out. Dermotologist Recommended? Wtf? are they blinddd. this stuff really has no help.

Yeap, my 2000 Chevy C3500 truck is doing the same thing at the left rear passenger door door lock. Basically mine is not locking or unlocking and I know there is power to the door lock actuator but the door lock actuator is too weak to move the door locks to lock/unlock. I just ordered a door lock actuator off of Ebay and will replace it when it comes in.

Sunlen Miller reports:
The president today will make good on his campaign promise to host a White House Tribal Nations Conference. Leaders from 564 federally recognized tribes will come to the Department of the Interior for an all-day forum discussing concerns in the Native American community.
Mr. Obama will make remarks kicking off the conference in the morning and will deliver a second set of remarks to close the conference this afternoon.
During the day four interactive discussions will take place led by senior administration officials, including Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson among others.
Read more about President Obama's outreach to Native Americans HERE.
The president will meet in the afternoon with President Ian Khama of Botswana in the Oval Office.
"Botswana is a strong democratic partner in sub-Saharan Africa, and the two leaders will meet to discuss a wide range of regional and bilateral issues, including how the United States can support sound governance, economic development, and natural resource conservation throughout the continent," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said in a statement announcing the meeting last week,.
The leaders will discuss their shared challenges, including addressing the issue of HIV/AIDS.
Mr. Obama will also meet late with representatives from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Those in attendance will be Reps. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.), Charlie Gonzalez (D-Texas), Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) and Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.).
The president will have also separate meetings with his Treasury Secretary Geithner, and Secretary of State Clinton in the Oval Office. These are part of regular meetings the president has each week.
