I don't know why the gauze I used on my cut hand last night is Fortuna, I'd never heard of the brand before and am sure I didn't buy it - we have an eclectic and quite badly stocked First Aid bag at the moment so with blood running off the ends of my fingers I grabbed the first thing I could to wrap around it and try to stop myself bleeding out from possibly the world's smallest looking cut (it's actually very deep, hence the blood).
This is a 1 metre roll of basic light weave gauze, it's not designed to stop a cut from bleeding but protects something nastier than your average scratch from added damage or causing even more pain - the way I used it was to snip a thickish piece off the roll and wad it against the cut before wrapping a bandage around it all. The cut was made with the pointy end of a steak knife slipping and literally stabbing myself with some force, it looks like a small cut but is in a really awkward position and had edges that needed to join again. I wrapped the bandage quite tightly around my hand, ensuring the gauze was pressing against the cut for the support and added comfort of the bandage being so well padded.
When I took the bandage off this morning to replace it with a less bulky plaster I was pleased to find no lint or fluff sticking to my cut, it had soaked up a fair amount of blood but hadn't turned sticky or slimy - it didn't stick to the cut despite there being some dried blood around the area and I'd have been happy to have reapplied the gauze if I'd needed to.
I have no idea how much this cost (or indeed where it came from) but Google is throwing up a £1.99 price tag for the 1 metre roll - super value in my opinion as it works well and to be honest if you needed to use 1 metre in one go I'd imagine a couple of quid would be the least of your worries!
I cut myself pretty badly last night, trying to get into a crazily slippy cheese packet with a steak knife - I won't keep you in suspense, it ended in the bloody mess expected as the knife slid off the packet and straight into the base of my pointing finger. It was bad enough for a bandage overnight as it just wouldn't stop bleeding, but this morning I woke up and knew that was overkill so set about hunting for a plaster.
No luck (obviously...) so I called my daughter to tell her to pick up a packet of plasters on the way home - expecting her to bring back some nice flesh coloured or clear ones, not these kiddified tattoo style plasters.
The few I've used have been very good actually, the cut isn't a big one but it's deep (imagine the pointy end of a steak knife going directly into flesh) - it needs dressing to keep it clean but is in the most god-awkward place and is surrounded by a big bruise as I've obviously cut into *something* inside. Nasty.
The plasters stick well and it's only the constant flexing and moving of my hand that's causing the stickiness to fail. The tattoo designs are cute but I could live without them, I'm not bothered about using a kids plaster in the slightest but have to say these aren't what most adults would choose to dress a cut in such an obvious place.
The part that is stuck fast to the skin takes a little tugging to remove, I can imagine my eight year old wouldn't be happy about that as she hates the feeling of pulling plasters off but it didn't pull enough to hurt.
My daughter can't remember how much she paid but I'm guessing a couple of quid based on what I know of the prices in that particular chemist, they're worth using as the stick is good and the plastic surface of the plaster keeps the antiseptic cream in and the dirt out - which is just what my hand needs at the moment!
Welcome to my review for the hotpoint FFUL1913 that I've had for over a year.
This is a bit of a tall appliance at nearly 2 metres tall, so definitely it will stand out in your kitchen.
Also great news is that it has ample of space for storing things at around 324 litres for the fridge (at the top) and 162 litres for the freezer (at the bottom), so a medium sized family can easily store it's weekly food shopping.
The door opens with little effort but it doesn't open as wide (about 100 degree). The doors themselves can be fixed on either the Right hand side or Left hand side depending on your preference.
Looking inside the fridge, you have your usual options – that's shelves made of toughened glass which are removable making them easily to clean. There is also a bottle holder which clamps onto a shelf.
There is also a 1X salad draw and a 1 X meat/fish storage section which opens easy and has plenty of space.
The door itself has 3 x shelves, but the higher ones might require you to tip toe so as to reach it. The freezer compartment comes with Hotpoint's Air tech that makes sure that the fridge is always cool no matter where inside the compartment you place food.
The fridge has nice LED warm lighting that makes visibility easy.
With the door open, there are some manual controls for the both the fridge and freezer that are easy to operate = nothing complicated and no LCD screens thankfully! So nothing should go wrong here, and you shouldn't need to tinker with anything here.
Similar to the fridge, the freezer door opens really easy and it has 3 big storage bins that are easily removable. There is also a fast freeze option which is ideal for fast freezing food and locking in freshness, or preventing those ice cream cones from melting after a trip from the supermarket.
However, there is no LED lighting for the freezer section.
I've had he fridge working like a charm for over a year. So far no problems and its rated as A+ in terms of energy efficiency. I shopped around at got a huge saving on this fridge.
The only downside is that this fridge can be noisy at times, but from what I understand this is normal.
A great, if sometimes noisy fridge with ample of space for a medium family.
I actually use this nail polish brand a lot. Personally , I think it's one of the best nail polish out there. It last long , give shine to your nail and also have a great quality. When I wear it , it conpliments my hand. Recommend this product ?
I bought an iPhone a few months ago, and it's opened up a whole new view of the world for me. This phone seems to be able to do just about everything.
Here are some of the roles it plays:
It's a phone, so you can call people, receive phone calls, block unwanted callers, receive and play back voice-mail, and receive and send texts.
It's a calendar. So you can keep track of where you're supposed to be, and when you're supposed to be there. Not only that, it will remind you when you have an appointment, and if you tell it where the appointment is, it can work out how much time you need to get from where you are to where you want to go, and it will even let you see a little map of your destination.
It's a camera and video camera. The pictures it takes are really good quality, which means I don't have to carry a bulky camera around with me all the time, and can just use my phone.
It has a facility called Siri, which talks to you and also can transcribe your voice into text, so that rather than having to type something in you can just speak it. Siri will also answer your spoken questions.
Then there's Facetime. Face to face conversations, so you can speak to friends and family who might be far away.
It's a computer. You can go online and search for websites or any information the way you would on your PC.
It has a word processing facility, as well as spreadsheet.
It can communicate with other phones that are nearby, and transfer information with a click.
And apps, hundreds of them, which can perform any number of tasks you can think of.
I have used the Farringdon Travelodge many times over the years, it's a bit of an odd Travelodge, it is one of the few that Travelodge took over the hotel from another chain but did not bother doing anything with the rooms other than insert their own beds and hang some curtains.
The location ....
The hotel is located on Kings Cross Road around 5 minutes further along the road than their Royal Scott Hotel. It is in a slightly quieter area with less traffic and street noise which is one of the more favourable sides to the hotel. If you are lucky and get a back room you should not hear much street noise.
The hotel however is not in a very good location for any tube stops and is limited even on the bus front, there is a stop directly outside the hotel but I found it easier to taxi when at this location.
The Rooms ....
As previously stated the rooms in this hotel have not been changed since it was taken over, this was at least 15 years ago so the rooms really need to be updated. They are also tiny! Many not much larger than the bed and dresser.
The rooms all have a tiny windowless bathrooms which has a bath, overhead shower and small sink and toilet. These must have been fairly nice at one point but again are worn, mouldy and in need of refurbishment. Another issue I have with them is actually the location, they are right by the entrance door to the room and you can hear everything going on in the communal areas outside even with the door closed.
This noise issue also affects the main room, there simply appears to be no sound proofing at all here, you can hear someone walking outside the room from lying on the bed, if you are unlucky enough to be a light sleeper and its a busy stay then do not expect to get much sleep!
Sadly these rooms are often poorly cleaned and I have had occasions I have moved rooms several times before I have felt the floors were clean enough for me to accept the room.
Cafe/Bar ....
This hotel does have a small cafe and bar which is actually fairly nice, it serves the usual Travelodge foods and is fairly fast at serving.
Overall ....
I use this hotel often because it is a lot cheaper than the other London travelodges, its is ok for a one night stay but needs major renovations.
I got a heap of Loccitane goodies from my hubby for my birthday earlier this year. H knows my love of beauty and this is one brand I will happily try anything. I got a bag of almond goodies including this shower oil. I left it for a while not sure how I felt about shower oil as I usually use a cream wash but I did like the idea of multi tasking and coming out of the shower already moisturised.
How does it work?
It is an oil on the body but turns to a milky substance on the body when mixed with water. You have to act fast and I usually avoid the faucet whilst massaging the oil on. Once the water hits it washes off a layer leaving skin lovely and soft.
My thoughts
This does not leave you feeling in any way greasy. It really is like a magic mixture. I like how it smells too and it leaves my skin soft and cleansed.
Price and availability.
A 250 ml bottle is £18 on the Loccitane website.
Final word
I was gutted to finish this shower oil as it really was something special. It smelt wonderful too and did a great job of cleansing and cleaning and moisturising. I got a pink parcel the day after finishing my bottle of shower oil (Pink Parcel is a beauty box full of surprises) and it had a bottle of the same shower oil in it luckily so I am still happily using it. I would buy it again though as I think it is worth the high price tag.
The distinctive yellow tub with a light pastel green lid of atrixo has been an almost permanent decoration on by bedside table for years. I remember, as a child, my mum using atrixo and being able to try a little bit of hers as a treat - so it has been approved for generations!
A 200ml tub is around £2 to £3 and can be purchased from most supermarkets like Asda or Tesco and drugstores like Superdrug and Boots. If you are lucky, sometimes you will get a free 50ml miniature version of the cream, which is perfect for your handbag for on the go moisturisation.
When you open the tub, you are hit with a lovely light chamomile smell (and this is well known for its enriching and moisturising effects which is a bonus). This smell is light enough to be pleasant without being overpowering or sickly.
The cream has just the right consistency - not too thick and not too thin - and spreads easily onto the skin. It isn't greasy, but doesn't dry in straight away either, but this isn't a major issue. After using this for a few days, I noticed that the dry and chapped bits of skin (particularly in between my fingers) had cleared up considerably and the skin was much much smoother and softer.
Overall, I would highly recommend this product for something that will make your skin much softer and be a good general moisturiser for your hands for a good price.
The little black dress perfume is nice but not that sexy of a scent. You can wear it day and night. Little black dress perfume is not my favourite. There are also little red dress, little pink dress and little black dress eau fraiche. In brochure 14 page 110 The little black dress is on an offer where you can buy any two perfumes for £13 on page 110, one perfume is £13 but you'll be saving an extra £13 as you will get two for one price. The perfume bottle size is 50ml. The normal price for the perfume is £13. In brochure 15 page 119 little black dress price is reduced to £9 saving you £4. The little pink dress, red dress and black dress eau fraiche on pages 104 and 105 they are reduced to £6.50 so half price saving you an extra £6.50. I know little black dress is supposed to be very popular but according to my customers they adore little pink dress more they say how it has a lovely scent and it lasts ages. Plus the bottle is more cute as it is pink. But if little black dress is your favourite perfume I'd recommend you buy from brochure 14 as you will get two perfumes for £13 where as if you order two little black dress perfumes from brochure 15 it'll cost you £18 so that will be £5 more than in brochure 14. Hope you found this review helpful, if you are looking for a representative and live within Burnley or Skipton area I'll be happy to pop round with a brochure.
Soleil ranges are my go-to razors, especially the Lady range. I have used these since high school and they are definitely the ones that I recommend to people when they want a new razor.
The packaging is a fun yellow-orange that is based off of the razor's handle colour, which is a nice change from the super feminine pink with flowers design that most brands go for with their women's razors. The razors themselves comes in 4 colours, transitioning from bright yellow to bright orange. The razor heads also have a small strip of conditioner sponge above the razor blades themselves.
The razor handle is easy grip and comfortable to hold and the razor itself works incredibly well at shaving closely to the skin and over large spaces with little effort. Unfortunately, as the head doesn't move, it's important that you are careful with the angle that you shave at as you will cut your skin very easily when you don't apply the correct amount of pressure. These are also the most long lived razors of the range, my last pack lasting for over 4 months (4 per pack) without major wear and tear or decay.
Overall, these are my favourite razors to use; cheap, comfortable and effective.
The Soleil range is my go-to razor brand and the Bella is no different!
The package is all blue, which is nice for people like me that like more gender neutral colours for their products instead of a super feminine pink with flowers and such. It's quite easy to open, though you may need a pair of scissors if your nails aren't particularly long. The razors themselves as neat and simple, with a moisturising blue strip around the edge of the razor blades. These blades aren't scented but they are quite fresh-smelling anyway.
Using them is really easy and the blades are sharp and clean for the first 5-10 uses.
It leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft, without an itchiness or soreness of the skin. You should still be careful about the angle that you shave at, as razors are always prone to catching your skin instead of the hairs.
Personally, I feel that these razors don't last as long as some of the other variations in this range, usually lasting about 2 weeks rather than the usual 3-4 weeks. The quality doesn't suffer but it can be very frustrating.
Overall, these are some very good razors for the price and I would highly recommend them!
I don't usually foundation every day but I like some sort of covering as I have a few dark patches and blemishes on my face so I use pressed powder on a regular basis. This Collection 2000 face powder comes in three shades, light, medium and dark and I chose the light to match my complexion. I paid £4.99 for this compact which I think is a good price compared to a lot of others.
It comes in a plastic compact which has a clear cover so you can see how much powder is left. It doesn't come with a sponge or applicator but I always have quite a few of these in my make up bag and you can pick them up cheaply.
To use I will give the sponge a little twist to get enough on there to use and then apply the powder to my forehead, cheeks and nose using a sweeping outwards motion. I find that I usually have to dab the sponge back onto the powder once more to make sure that all my face is covered. It does feel soft and silky on my skin and you really can't feel that you are wearing it as it doesn't feel caked on or thick at all. It does a good job of disguising blemishes and also prevents my face from becoming shiny which it is apt to do if I get warm and it is also a great product for setting your make up.
I have never experienced any irritation or reaction when using this powder and I have been using it now for several months. It blends excellently on my skin leaving my skin looking very smooth and it also removes easily with wipes or make up cleansers. It is cheaper than some other brands but it goes on very smoothly and I find that it stays on all day so you don't have to use as much powder. It definitely feels like a high quality product and I do recommend it.
I have been using face wipes for as long as I can remember and I am not really loyal to one product but will buy the ones which are on the best offer at the time. I bought this pack of 20 RoC cleansing wipes for sensitive skin for just £1.50 from a local pound shop which is over half the recommended retail price. The ingredients include Aloe Vera and cucumber extract which help to sooth and cool your skin.
The pack is oblong in shape and displays the ingredients and directions for use. It has the usual resealable closure tab which you need to make sure is closed firmly after use to keep the moisture in the remaining wipes. These particular wipes are very moist to the touch and even when I get down to the last few they are always still as moist as the first one with no signs of drying out. The wipes are white and are soft to the touch and have a clean fresh fragrance which is quite subtle which I like as I don't like strong smells on my skin. As these are gentle wipes they are suitable for the most sensitive skin. I find that one wipe is sufficient to cleanse my face and neck even if I am wearing a lot of make up including waterproof mascara.
These wipes do a very good job of cleaning my face and I can feel a lovely coolness as soon as they touch my skin which feels refreshed afterwards and very clean. With these wipes you can feel a slight tingly feeling but I think this adds to the clean feeling but some people may not like this. The wipes seem to be quite strong and I would say it would be very hard to rip or tear them and although personally I don't seem to have to rub very hard to remove any type of make up I would think that you could use quite a bit of pressure and they would still stay in one piece.
These wipes are gentle and have never caused me any irritation on my face or around the eye area. They are fragrance free, and alcohol-free and have been dermatologically tested, so should be suitable for a lot of people. I love the clean fresh feeling I get after using these and will definitely buy them again.
A friend recommended this L'Oreal Elvive renourishing shampoo to me after I had told her that my hair was getting a bit flat and needed a boost. I bought this shampoo from a local discount store for £1.80 but you can pay up to around £2.95 for it. It comes in a white 250ml bottle which gives you the ingredients and instructions for use, and it has a flip top which the bottle stands on so the shampoo is always ready for you to dispense.
The shampoo itself is a light creamy colour and has a lovely fresh smell which as it isn't floral or feminine so it would be suitable for both sexes. It feels rich and creamy and you can feel the thickness as you are massaging the shampoo into your hair and it seems to cling to your hair so you do know it is a good shampoo.
I wash my hair every other day and have been using this shampoo for a couple of months, and I can tell a difference in the texture of my hair and it appears to be thicker which is great.
To use I squeeze about a 10p size onto my hand and find that this is sufficient to rub up into quite a frothy lather which washes my hair easily. I can feel the shampoo soaking into my hair and it feels like a quality product. It seems to cling to my hair a bit so it does take a bit of rinsing and I then apply a conditioner to finish off.
From when I started to use this shampoo my hair looks thicker and nourished, and it has been commented on by friends and family. I recommend this shampoo if your hair needs a bit of a boost, it is good quality and also good value.
Upon starting to get bad rashes from allergies last summer, I considered using a shaving gel or cream to reduce the reactions while still being able to shave. Having very sensitive skin naturally, I'm also prone to razor burn and random cuts on the skin, so I went looking for a shaving cream or gel that would be suitable for my skin. I saw this on sale and threw it straight in the basket.
Usually it's rare to find a shaving gel that's sensitive on the skin but this really works!
The bottle is ergonomic and the cap is easily removed and attached with a spray top that makes application easy and efficient. I enjoy spraying the gel onto my legs when I first used it!
The formula is ridiculously gentle on the skin, it's light and foamy on contact with the body and you can hardly feel it because it's so light. As the formula foams, you can begin shaving, and the foam is so helpful to collect up the loose hair that you cut off and it leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft without any razor burn or cuts! It's also really easy to wash off and down the drain, making life a lot easier for the clean freaks of the world.
All of this comes at the cheap price of £4, which is a bargain in comparison to a lot of other products on the shelves at the moment.
Overally, I would definitely recommend this to those with sensitive skin!

To follow on from section 2 of the article, one of the specific pieces of information users should be looking to ensure remains private is their email address. Social networking sites and forums can allow users' email addresses to become visible, allowing them to be trivially enumerated and targetted by phishing and spear-phishing attacks.
For personal accounts, this can mean your email inbox becoming flooded with phishing emails, trying to get you to click links to malicious websites that put your personal data at risk.
For corporate accounts this poses an even bigger problem - we often see attackers performing spear-phishing attacks against organisations in a bid to exploit employees to gain access to confidential and sensitive corporate data and/or systems. The vast majority of these attacks use information found in the public domain, including corporate email addresses listed on social networking sites and forums, as a base from which to identify employees inside an organisation to target with spear-phishing - with success rates often in the region of 65%+, even against firms with good employee security awareness training in place.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
05 Jul 2014 05:25 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, Indonesia
Some 190 million Indonesians will head to the polls on Wednesday to pick the next leader of the world's third largest democracy.
The race has been heating up between two candidates, Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo and government-backed former army general Prabowo Subianto.
So far, the rival campaigns have shown how Indonesian elections are about personalities rather than policies, with issues like poverty, lack of infrastructure and religious intolerance hardly being addressed.

DAME JANET COMMUNITY JUNIOR SCHOOL PUPIL MOBILE PHONE POLICY Dame Janet Community Junior School discourages pupils from bringing mobile phones to school, but accepts that in exceptional circumstances parents may give their children mobile phones to enable communication and to protect them from everyday risks involving personal security and safety. The following 'Acceptable Use' guidelines are based on guidance from the DfE and support the school's Health and Safety, Anti-bullying, Child Safeguarding and e-Safety policies. Pupils, their parents or guardians must read, understand and sign these 'Acceptable Use' guidelines before pupils are given permission to bring mobile phones to school. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in permission being revoked. The 'Acceptable Use' guidelines for mobile phones also apply to pupils during school excursions and extra-curricular activities. Exceptions to this would be in an emergency situation and only then with the express approval of a senior member of school staff. The phone must be clearly labelled with the child's name, switched off and given in to the class teacher or the School office upon arrival at school. The phone must be collected at the end of the school day. The phone must be concealed whilst leaving the school premises. Where a pupil is found with a mobile in school, including the playground, the phone will be taken from the pupil and placed in the School Office. Parents will be contacted to collect the phone. If a pupil is found taking photographs or video footage with a mobile phone of either pupils or teachers, this will be regarded as a serious offence and the Headteacher will decide on appropriate disciplinary action. If images of other pupils or teachers have been taken, the phone will not be returned to the pupil until the images have been removed by an appropriate person. Using mobile phones to bully and threaten other students is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. In some cases it can constitute criminal behaviour. Pupils should protect their phone numbers by only giving them to friends and keeping a note of who they have given them to. This can help protect the pupil's number from falling into the wrong hands and guard against the receipt of insulting, threatening or unpleasant voice, text and picture messages. The teaching staff reserve the right to view the content of any child's mobile phone at any time in respect of issues regarding the safeguarding of children. If a pupil needs to contact his/her parents/guardians they will be allowed to use a school phone. If parents need to contact children urgently they should phone the School Office and a message will be relayed promptly. Parents are advised that Dame Janet Community Junior School accepts no liability for the loss or damage to mobile phones which are brought into the school. March 2012 I have read and understood the Pupil Mobile Phone Policy.

Giants send struggling pitcher Barry Zito to bullpen
SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Zito was demoted to the bullpen Monday by the San Francisco Giants, who hope the former ace can correct his problems by working in relief.
Zito, who only 16 months ago signed a $126 million, seven-year contract with the Giants to lead their rotation, was informed of the move in a meeting with manager Bruce Bochy.
"I'm certainly not happy with it, by any means," Zito said. "But this is the bed that I've made. I have to lay in it for the time being and I have to overcome. I trust management and I trust what their decisions are."
The left-hander has lost his first six starts this season and has a 7.53 ERA that jumped considerably after Zito was tagged for eight earned runs in a 10-1 loss Sunday to Cincinnati.
The 2002 AL Cy Young Award winner with Oakland, Zito lasted just three innings against the Reds and was booed frequently by the crowd at AT&T Park during his shortest outing of the year.
"It's good sometimes just to back off," Bochy said. "It's happened to a lot of great players, position players and even pitchers. We just felt at this point it's time for him to sit back, miss a start and help us in the pen."
A three-time All-Star and San Francisco's opening-day starter this season, Zito is only the third pitcher since 1956 to go 0-6 before May, joining Texas' Dave Stewart (1984) and Detroit's Mike Maroth (2003).
The durable Zito has made 247 consecutive starts without missing a turn due to injury, the longest streak in the majors. He made his only big league relief appearance last season.
Zito's next turn in the Giants' rotation would have been Saturday in Philadelphia. Instead, San Francisco plans on using Pat Misch against the Phillies. Misch was recalled from Triple-A Fresno when right-handed starter Kevin Correia was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Because Zito started Sunday, Bochy indicated he wouldn't be available to pitch in relief until the Giants play the Phillies beginning Friday.
"We'll watch and see how things go," Bochy said. "Right now we're just going to leave it at, that he's going to be helping us out of the bullpen.

Traxis Partners' Barton Biggs has cut his bullish bets again for fear of another U.S. recession.
Biggs told Bloomberg Television that the Traxis Global Equity Macro Fund's net long position is now under 40%, and could be cut by as much as another 15 percentage points.
"It's a much more bearish environment than I anticipated," said Biggs. "We are going to have a decline at least back to the lows of last summer. God forbid, maybe even testing the lows of 2008 and 2009."
The money manager now puts the odds of the U.S. entering a recession in H1 2012 at between 60 and 70%, based on a number of factors including the failure of a congressional supercommittee to agree on $1.2 trillion in federal budget savings.
"I'm very disappointed," said Biggs. "It's pathetic that they haven't come to a deal. It shows our political system is really dysfunctional. I've been wrong in being too optimistic about the outcome in the U.S."

Houston Astros: Chris Carter Poised to See Power Numbers Increase
When the Houston Astros sent Jed Lowrie to the Oakland Athletics, they received a 26-year-old power hitter named Chris Carter who should step in as the regular DH and fill in for Carlos Pena at first base when needed. Carter, 26, hit .239/.350/.514 with 16 home runs and 12 doubles for the A's last year in 218 at bats. Of those 16 homers, 11 of them came away from the Oakland Coliseum.
Carter will move into the cozier confines of Minute Maid Park, where Carter will be able to take aim at the left field wall that sits just 315 feet away from home plate at its closest point. Granted, Carter won't be hitting a lineup that can protect him and force pitchers to throw to him, but he should still see a dramatic rise in his power numbers just playing away from the Oakland Coliseum.
It should also be noted that, although a small sample size, he hit .300/.405/667 as a DH in 30 at bats with 3 home runs. Again, that is a miniscule sample size, and doesn't mean Carter will hit .300 or crush thirty home runs over 300 at bats or 60 homers in 600 at bats. However, it is a bit encouraging for the Astros, who plan to use him as their primary DH.
It is conceivable that Carter will emerge as a 30-home run threat, even in the Astros lineup that currently has only three other players who eclipsed double-digit home runs last season. Carlos Pena had 19 for the Tampa Bay Rays while hitting just .197, Justin Maxwell led the Astros in homers with 18 and J.D. Martinez had 11.
The Astros did well in trading Lowrie for a young power hitter in Carter and pitching prospect Brad Peacock. Carter should be a consistent power threat for several years and team with Jonathan Singleton, who is serving a 50-game suspension for marijuana use, to form a dangerous combo at first base and DH.

- Upton blast topples Mets
NEW YORK (AP) -- The 44-minute rain delay wasn't the problem for Jeurys Familia. The quality of his pitches was the issue. Familia returned from the first of two ninth-inning rain delays adding up to almost four hours, taking the mound with two outs and a two-run lead.

- Boston's Olympic hangover doesn't help tarnished image
What's next for New England's largest city?
BOSTON — Opponents are cheering the unceremonious demise of Boston's bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics, but some are wistfully wondering what might have been. The U.S. Olympic Committee officially severed ties with Boston on Monday, saying it was exploring other options amid lackluster public support and concerns from elected leaders and organized opposition about the impact to taxpayers.
- With Boston out, can Los Angeles revive a U.S. 2024 Olympic bid?
U.S. hasn't hosted Summer Olympics since 1996
Boston's bid to host the 2024 Olympics was undercut by its own mayor, its skeptical public and, finally, leaders of the U.S. Olympic Committee, who were tired of the city's ever-changing blueprint. Next, it may be time to see if there's more Olympic love in Los Angeles.

Auto RacingCrew chief pushes Busch's comeback along
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- There was little doubt that Kyle Busch and crew chief Adam Stevens could be successful together. The duo won 19 of their 52 Xfinity Series races, so chemistry clearly wasn't a problem.
Still, Joe Gibbs Racing couldn't guarantee that Stevens would immediately excel in his promotion to the Sprint Cup Series. And, when Busch was injured a day before the Daytona 500, Stevens was given a setback that could have derailed the No. 18 team for the season.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The New York Giants have no firsthand knowledge about the extent of the hand injuries Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul sustained in a July 4 fireworks accident in Florida.
A seemingly frustrated co-owner John Mara disclosed that most of the Giants' knowledge about JPP's condition has come from his agents and through text messages with the 26-year-old, who was tagged as a franchise player and due to make at least $14.8 million this season.

GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) -- Ronda Rousey is in charge now. The unbeaten bantamweight champion is the biggest star in the UFC, and she could have staged her next title defense anywhere in the world before she moves on to her next acting job or book tour stop or red-carpet appearance.
Rousey decided to fight Brazilian challenger Bethe Correia in a raucous arena at UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night.

part of the reason Obama got elected was that the american public didn't want to be in Iraq any more. It was decided by elections in 2006, 2008, and 2010. the nut jobs were just biding their time until the Americans left. Which Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld didn't even consider in 2003 when they started this whole unnecessary clusterf***. And another full scale invasion /occupation will have similar unintended consequences when you consider that the american public'a taste for war last about 5 minutes. You haven't proposed a solution. you are just b****ing and moaning and Obama.
You seem to think republicans have a better plan to defeat ISIS. Nobody does. I am pretty sure republicans want to bomb them back to the stone age and then dust their hands off and be done with it. ISIS isn't the end of the line middle eastern nut jobs. If ISIS were to be eliminated its not like friendly secular capitalists would suddenly take charge of the middle east. More likely is that Iran and other Tribal Shia would waltz in with as an uncontested regional hegemony. They aren't exactly the friendliest nation in the world either. Nobody is saying ISIS should stay around, Americans should not be Syria or Iraq for any reason right now. Just let Iran do the heavy lifting for awhile. They will weaken each other.
I don't think you are in tune with reality. Obama has raised taxes all of two times. One the medical device tax and another marginal tax increase on those making over $400,000. The middle class tax cuts were made permanent. The size of government and the deficit are now smaller than we he took office.
Bush also sent trillions of dollars and thousands of Americans die in Iraq and we have nothing to show for it.
the logic of the republican party is baffling...
we should be tolerant of intolerance
Cutting taxes increases government revenue
more guns=less gun violence
...And the worst part about it is people actually believe this.
You underestimate people's ability to see beyond skin color. The black community supports Dozecal for they same reason they will never vote for Ben Carson. Its NOT ABOUT skin color. It's what you have done/will do for the community.
Where is the entitlement reform? You control both house of congress and you have even touched entitlement reform since Ryan's medicare plan. Obama will veto some of your more outrageous plans but their has got some room for compromise. You might not be able to get everything you but you can still make a marginal difference.
quit living in 2010, the budget deficit was 2.8% of GDP in 2014 according the CBO. The GDP growth rate was well above 2%.
Welfare is such a broad catch-all term. It doesn't mean anything to me at this point. As far as I can tell republicans just use to describe any government spending they don't agree with.
I don't think it takes rocket scientist to balance a budget, either cut spending or raise revenues. Pretty Simple. In Kansas the budget has been cut, and cut, and cut. They cut taxes and the expense of the schools in hopes of stimulating the economy, surprise surprise, it didn't work. Corporations just pocketed the tax windfall instead of reinvesting it into their businesses, and now the republican controlled government is running a huge deficit. Last I heard they wanted to raise the sales tax- a regressive tax, but the republican legislature is too weak to pull the trigger, so they go on diddling themselves to their idealogy instead of solving a simple equation and dealing with the consequences.
The current state of the republican party doesn't seem interested in investing in infrastructure. Obama has been calling for increased infrastructure spending since 2011 or so. Republicans only seem interested in cutting taxes for corporations. They allege that corporations will act in the goodwill of the nation and benelovently employ more people without any demostrable increase for demand. It is still welfare the republicans are advocating, just corporate welfare.
God is trying to tell them global warming is real
You seem stuck on the degree of deficits. The point of people citing G-dub's deficits is show that republicans despite all their balanced budget rhetoric aren't going to balance anything. So if you are voting for a candidate based on thier claims of fiscal responsibility you're a sucker. Yes Obama's deficits were bigger, there is a different historical context. If you think McCain had been elected in 2008, the deficits would have been any smaller, think again.
You know why I am voting for Hillary? She doesn't have an idealogy, like all the republicans do. She would govern pragmatically like Obama has.
are you implying that the murder rate is a function of race?
I know the middle east is a a cluster****. What does the US gain from occupying the middle east? Nothing. The only reason for being there is you possess the weak, bleeding heart of a liberal.
Hillary is going to win in a landslide. None of the republican candidates can turn in any blue states red. I am looking forward to listening to you complain for the next 9 years.
The beauty of the free market, is that people are not compelled to use those insurers, they can choose another insurance provider. And let market forces determine the price.
So you think spending trillions of dollars on war in Iraq, that is impossible to win without a multi-generational commitment from the US is best. Because that is the only way to stabilize the region. You get rid of of Saddam, ISIS comes in, You can get rid of ISIS but someone else equally as crazy will rise to power. The secularization of the middle east is what is needed and that is not going to happen over the course of a day, a week, a month, a year, or even a decade. It is just too costly a commitment. Just get out of the region and let it blow itself up.
Two of America's healthier industries industries consider California home. Entertainment and technology are major American exports
she is right, businesses and corporations don't create jobs, demand for their goods and services create jobs
The worst part is they glamorize ignorance. As an American you certainly have the right to be stupid but these are role models to people. These republicans make people think that being dumb and ignorant is something to aspire to. And that is what sickens me the most.

Right, "Celebrity Sex Tape" is definitely not meant for an audience that I am part of. This is one of the most boring and ridiculous movies I have had to suffer through. Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, as I gave up half way through the movie. I gave up out of sheer boredom and because the movie was nothing more than an outlet to show off nudity and stupid sex scenes.
I am sure that if you are about 18 years old and just coming of age, then you might think this is a great movie, for for anyone just a tad more grown up and mature, this is nothing more than a waste of film reel.
The story is about a group of young people who make a sex video of some semi-famous celebrity. It gets uploaded to the internet and becomes and overnight sensation. The manager of the celebrity shows up and blackmails the young guys for $500.000 which is due in 30 days. What do they do in order to raise the money? Find washed-up has-been celebrities and promise to revitalize their careers if they have sex on video.
Well, I wasn't amused one bit by this storyline, and to be honest I found it super boring and immature.
I will say that for the acting, then the people they had cast for the roles were doing good enough jobs. But the Asian stereotyping was just offensive to everyone, even non-Asians.
I just simply gave up just before halfway through the movie. And if you are a fan of proper cinema, then avoid this movie at all costs. It is perhaps your kind of movie if you are in high school or college, or if you just think these no-brainer movies qualifies as entertainment.

Another muddled awful Asylum's embarrassment
Not much to say about this truly : run , avoid, don't buy and don't even think to expect some shock value from this other watered down, Asylum almost fake movie! Why a fake movie? Because this little Studio is dreadfully unprofessional: They keep on using unexperienced people in order to put on the market ( and God only knows how!) a stream of non movies , just a bunch of assembled scenes terribly cast, badly written and worse filmed while using titillating covers to market these sad disasters as guilty pleasures type of movies, but they aren't even bad, at the end , and that is if you will ever even make it nearly there, you will be left only with that bitter guilt feeling of having spent your money and time, trying to uselessly make sense of the trite garbage they do present you with and nothing else but a sense of frustration could just make your night even a worse missed opportunity! I truly resent any type of explicatively bad filmmaking, but, I love all genre and cult movies, here there is just nothing like it, just a pretense, some sort of scam, and it's time to say no to it! My opinion : wanna try it and watch it for yourself? Go ahead! Don't forget i had warned you!
Horrible acting not sure about the other reviewers...
I watched some of this and was unable to get past the first 20 minutes sadly, the acting was extremely over the top and horrible. I could not stand any of the characters introduced besides maybe the short haired stoned looking kid which spoke about 2 times that I saw. I honestly just could not get passed the ridiculous storyline and the Z movie acting, me and my friends could have filmed a better movie if we had some hot girls showing boobs easily with a $300 budget(would not be hard to get some girls from my college to do something like this for some money). Also the plot hole is obvious from the start as another reviewer stated about cocaine.

Exhibition: Design Museum nails their look at design and technology's future
Hactivism, 3D printing, the idea of a new industrial revolution – all of this will be familiar to anyone with an interest in design and technology (and particularly to anyone who's been to a design conference in the past couple of years). But a new show at London's Design Museum, The Future Is Here, takes these terms and ideas – thrown about often quite loosely – and makes a real effort to explain and engage with them in a remarkably practical, interesting and effective way.
So there's examples of what 3D printing can do, an in-depth look at customisation and considerations about how social networking, nanotechnology and open-source computing via the likes of Rasberry Pi and the Arduino circuit board will affect the future of design and manufacture, from houses and cars to shoes and toys.
There's some interesting infographics looking at people's perceptions of the future and the pace of technological change, a great demonstration of robotic arms building a wooden puzzle and a "factory" of cutting-edge machines, manned by previously inexperienced Design Museum staff, where you can actually watch a laser cutter or a 3D printer in action.
The design, by Lucienne Roberts+ and drMM, is excellent, bringing this complex and wide-ranging show to life with clarity and flair – the was/is neon sign that changes as per the video below is a particularly nice touch. All in all this is not just the Design Museum at its best – taking important design discourse and introducing it to the general public in a very tangible way – but there's also more than enough to interest those who feel quite jaded with this whole topic.
The Future Is Here runs until October 29.

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Death Penalty, Crime, Drugs, News
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction announced Tuesday that it will use pentobarbital, a common anesthetic used by veterinarians to euthanize pets. Oklahoma also adopted the drug last year, conducting three executions since the reformulation. But Oklahoma uses a three-drug cocktail — Ohio will be a trendsetter in making sole use of pentobarbital for execution.
Triple-murderer Frank Spisak will be the last Ohio inmate executed using the old drug, hard-to-find sodium thiopental, on Feb. 17. The March execution of Johnny Baston, convicted for a 1994 Toledo killing, will be the first execution using the new drug.
Sodium thiopental, previously used by both states, has been in increasingly short supply. Hospira Inc., which produced the drug until recently, halted production last week due to increased scrutiny from officials in Italy, where the drug is manufactured. Members of the Italian parliament issued an order in order to ensure that sodium thiopental manufactured in that country was not being used in executions. Hospira then discontinued sale of the drug, since it only has production capability at its facilities in Italy.
Meanwhile, England recently banned the exportation of sodium thiopental for use in execution — and its media seems determined to root out violators. Several states, including California, face impending shortages of their own. As more and more Western countries follow suit, U.S. prison officials must look to manufacturers in India for its execution — or merely continue to put prisoners down like dogs.
