ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has been awarded a contract by Atlantis Resources Limited to provide the onshore grid connection for Phase I of the MeyGen tidal stream project in Scotland's Pentland Firth.
The MeyGen tidal stream project is at the forefront of world marine energy development and will harvest the tidal resources of one of the most energetic maritime sites in Europe, the strait connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the North Sea between the Orkney Islands and the Scottish mainland.
The first 6 megawatt (MW) demonstration phase of the UK's first large-scale tidal array scheme will see four submerged turbines installed in the Inner Pentland Firth just north of Caithness, with first power expected to be delivered by 2016.
ABB is responsible for the onshore power conversion and grid connection systems to feed the electricity safely and reliably into the local distribution grid. ABB's project scope includes design, engineering, supply and commissioning of the power conversion, switchgear and transformer solution as well as associated civil engineering and cabling works. Major product supplies include transformers, medium voltage switchgear and power converters.
"We are pleased to facilitate this innovative project and tap the potential of marine energy" said Claudio Facchin, Head of ABB's Power Systems division. "It reaffirms the faith our customers have in ABB's technology and proven capability to deliver safe, reliable and efficient grid connections which play a key role in integrating renewables, that are making an increasing contribution to the energy mix."
Studies including those by engineers from the University of Edinburgh and University of Oxford indicate the Pentland Firth's tidal stream has vast energy potential, with ocean currents estimated at 5 meters (about 11 feet) per second, among the fastest in the British Isles.
"Forming partnerships with the leading players in the energy sector is key to delivering commercial-scale tidal power projects that allow us to harness the untapped potential of global tidal resources. ABB has clearly demonstrated exceptional expertise in this area and we are confident they will deliver the highest quality results. We look forward to working with the team at ABB to ensure the success of the MeyGen project" says Tim Cornelius, Chief Executive Officer, Atlantis Resources Ltd.
The initial phase of the MeyGen development has the potential to generate up to 86 MW of electricity, enough power for around 42,000 homes,potentially catering to the needs of almost 40 percent of households in the Scottish Highlands.
Within the next ten years, MeyGen intends to deploy up to 398 MW of offshore tidal stream turbines in the Pentland Firth to supply clean and renewable electricity to the UK National Grid.

What if I buy or win a new item that I decide I don't want - can I sell that?"
New items (with or without tag) may be sold occasionally.
This STRICTLY means NO more than 3 new items per month.
Anyone seen to be listing more than this per month may be seen as running a business, and may be banned from the trading rooms.
Can I link to my site, in which I'm also selling items that are on the banned list?
No, please DO NOT have items that are on our 'Cannot be sold' list also for sale at your site. This will be seen as solicitation and the post will be removed at the discretion of the moderators.
Can I buy & sell goods specifically for profit here?
No. The trading rooms are not to be used as a business. Items being sold are meant to be your OWN personal unwanted goods. They are NOT to be items that you have bought for the sole purpose of resale.
Can I place photos of my goods in my posts?
No. You should upload your photos to another site (such as msn) - and paste in a link.

All Blacks
The end of the Adam Thomson saga was as insipid as its beginning.
As far as political footballs go, the All Blacks blindside was kicked from Edinburgh, to London, to Cardiff and back.
It was, in the end, a waste of everybody's time as the original two-week suspension was halved, then restored over a senseless three-week circus, leaving Thomson, the All Blacks third-choice blindside, available for selection against England next week.
The main act of this media circus was International Rugby Board boss Brett Gosper, who tweeted his way into the big top to kick things off in politically incorrect fashion.
And so, to last night's final decision of the independent appeal committee, and New Zealand Rugby Union chief executive Steve Tew's carefully worded response. Tew was critical of the judicial process, but clearly didn't see the worth in creating any bad blood with the new, outspoken Australian IRB boss.
"The process would warrant some review. Having to wait six days for the written decision before an appeal is made is far too long," Tew told the Sunday Star-Times at Cardiff last night. "The chairman of the appeal mentioned that in his summing up at the end. That is something the IRB will have to look at.
"The appeal provision is there and the IRB exercised that. Adam got a fair hearing and we're happy with the result. He's able to play next week if selected."
Tew lobbied to get the appeal - regulation 17 - erased from rugby's global constitution in May this year and Thomson's drawn-out case only reinforced his view it needed to be scrapped.
"This was one of the changes that got voted on in the most recent amendments. It was something we weren't particularly happy to see in there, but ultimately it got the support from the group. There is room for some ultimate body keeping a watch in case something goes fundamentally wrong.
"The question the IRB will be asking themselves is, if this was the right way to appeal or not. I would suggest from the result probably not, but that's a matter of opinion."
It's impossible to argue with Tew. Thomson's result served to highlight the IRB's glaring inconsistencies after thuggish South African prop Dean Greyling and Australian flanker Scott Higginbotham were slapped with wet bus tickets earlier this year. As for Gosper's need to appease the British press, Tew was reluctant to rock the boat so early in his tenure.
Privately, at least, there is little doubt he was irritated by the unprofessional manner in which the process was conducted.
"He tweeted they would be looking at it. It's not for me to comment. That's something for them to consider," Tew said of Gosper's opinion spilling into the public sphere without proper consultation. "He's got a job to do. I don't have a problem with that.
"I've already met with Brett on several occasions. He's obviously a very capable man in his own right. I'm hopeful he will do a very good job. I look forward to working with him."

Qnet scam complainant arrested for assaulting father
Mumbai: The Mumbai police on Thursday arrested the complainant in the multi-crore Qnet scam for allegedly assaulting his 68-year-old father with an iron rod.
"Gurupreet Singh Anand was arrested today, produced in court and later granted bail," a police officer said.
According to suburban Andheri West`s Oshiwara police, a complaint against Gurupreet Singh was filed by his father Inderjeet Singh Anand.
In his complaint, Inderjeet said that on October 31 last year, Gurupreet was at home wearing only a brief, police said.
When his father Inderjeet told his son that he ought to wear something more, since friends and relatives would visit home, Gurupreet abused his father and then allegedly assaulted him with an iron rod, they said.
His father Inderjeet fell on the ground and bled profusely, after which he called up his daughter and narrated the incident, they added.
After his daughter reached home, she accompanied Inderjeet to the police station to file a case against Gurupreet, the police said.

PIJN News: "Doubting Thomas" Jefferson: Deist or Christian?
in Religion
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States: Deist or Christian? Dr. Chaps interviews Jerry Newcombe about new evidence in his book, "Doubting Thomas".
American Freedom Watch Radio - Thomas Jefferson on Religion
in Politics
Welcome to American Freedom Watch Radio with Karen Schoen and John Estabrooks
Tonight's Topic: Thomas Jefferson and Religion. What did Thomas Jefferson believe?
Special Guests: Jerry Newcombe and Mark Beliles
"DOUBTING THOMAS? The Religious Life and Legacy of Thomas Jefferson" by MARK A. BELILES and JERRY NEWCOMBE deals with the faith---or the lack thereof---of one of our most important founding fathers. But this volume provides NEW information, some of which has not been in print before. To learn more about the book, see www.americapublications.org DOUBTING THOMAS contains previously unpublished documents including a dozen religious letters by Jefferson and two sermons by his pastor Charles Clay. Jefferson voluntarily joined and donated to Clay's Calvinistical Reformed Church of Charlottesville.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty,and the puruit of happiness." Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson and Deism
in Religion
Some members of America's religious right would have us believe that Thomas Jefferson was a Bible-thumping evangelist on a mission to create religious schools, to convert Native Americans into Christians, and to establish a Christian nation. They argue that Jefferson's famous "wall of separation" letter written in 1802 to the Danbury Baptist Association was simply to stop government from encroaching on religion and had nothing to do with a Christian-run government.
Are the Christian nationalists right?
Jayson, the Deputy Director of the World Union of Deists, will explore what Jefferson really said about religion. For instance, Jefferson did not believe in "the Holy Trinity" and considered parts of the Bible to be nonsense. Jefferson was theologically a Deist who drew upon Christian morals, we will learn.
Deism celebrates reason, not religion. Deists believe in God based on reason, but do not subscribe to "revealed" religions. Join Jayson as he tells us what Deism is really about – and why Jefferson was a Deist, not an evangelical Christian.
For more information about Deism, visit Deism.com. For news, opinion and articles, visit GodDiscussion.com, and be sure to check out our upcoming shows with the World Union of Deists and others.

Jesuit Connection TO Thomas Jefferson
in History
Jefferson gives his assessment of the author of and book of Revelation in the Bible:"It is between fifty and sixty years since I read it and I then considered it as merely the ravings of a maniac no more worthy nor capable of explanation than the incoherences of our own nightly dreams." (Thomas Jefferson, Letter to General Alexander Smyth, January 17, 1825)Jefferson put together his own bible called the "Jefferson Bible" in which he took out certain passages of scripture while throwing out the rest considering it as dung:"The greatest of all the Reformers of the depraved religion of his own country, was Jesus of Nazareth… Abstracting what is really his from the rubbish in which it is buried, easily distinguished by its luster from the dross of his biographers, and as separable as the diamond from the dung hill." (Thomas Jefferson, Letter to William Short, October 31, 1819)Jefferson blasphemes account of Ten Commandments in the Bible:"where get we the ten commandments? The book indeed gives them to us verbatim, but where did it get them? For itself tells us they were written by the finger of God on tables of stone, which were destroyed by Moses. But the whole history of these books is so defective and doubtful, that it seems vain to attempt minute inquiry into it and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the text of other books relating to them, that we have a right from that cause to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine." (Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, January 24, 1814)
TREE OF LIBERTY Thursday And Guest Michael C.School

"An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people."
The deconstructionists worked 24/7/365 for decades to erode our freedoms and it is up to each of us to work 24/7/365 to remove them from our society and restore our liberty. Our personal, spiritual, financial and very physical freedom is at stake, we either fight united now or perish later.
Thomas Jefferson: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

My father escaped Nazi Germany as a young child and returned to Europe in a U.S. army uniform, anxious to reduce Hitler to rubble.14:08 01.08.15 | 1 comments
People are eagerly awaiting the UN vote. The Palestinians believe its in the bag and that magically their people will go marching through the streets of the West Bank and into the homes of Jewish Settlers and evict them. This would be far far from the truth. Unlike the General Assembly and Security Council resolutions that created the Partition in 1948 (which the Arab world ignored subsequently attacking and starting a war) this resolution goes against other UN resolutions on which several Israeli-Palestinian agreements are currently based. The Palestinians can't have it both ways. They can have a unilateral State declared but the Palestinian Authority and its agreements with Israel will become null and void. Israel will then be able to cease all aid, power, traversing of borders with the Palestinians pending a "Peace Treaty". This will surely cause violence which they will once again bring upon themselves by their intransigence and refusal to negotiate without conditions.

hep c levaquin
Aug 22, 2005
Hi Dr. Dieterich Was looking around on the web and saw this page.I am "cured" after a year of treatment and never felt this bad. I took LEvaquin 3 tablets over the last three days 500mg and am experiencing extreme really bad emotional distress. I saw this as one of the side effects. Last night I think I was hallucinating.
Response from Dr. Dieterich
If you are cured of your hep C then there is no relation to that! The Levaquin is obviously not good for you. You should feel better soon. Congratulations on your cure! DTD

A civilian vehicle in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights was targeted by forces in neighboring Syria on Sunday in an attack that killed a 15-year-old boy and prompted Israeli tanks to retaliate by firing on Syrian government targets, the Israeli military said.
It was the first death on the Israeli side of the Golan since the Syrian civil war erupted more than three years ago. Two other people were wounded in the attack.
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, said it was "the most substantial incident" along the frontier with Syria since the beginning of the civil war. While he said it was unclear whether the vehicle had been struck by a rocket, mortar shell or some other explosive device, he said the attack was clearly intentional.
"It was fired directly from east to west," he said, adding that it was a "direct hit" on the vehicle.
The vehicle was driving along a fence that Israel has built along the Syrian frontier, Lerner said. He described the vehicle as a water tanker, and said people on board were doing work for Israel's Defense Ministry at the time. "We have a hole in the fence, which indicates it could be a projectile," Lerner said.
He said Israeli tanks opened fire in response at Syrian government positions, but that it remained unclear whether the Syrian military or rebels had carried out the attack. Israel has said it holds Damascus responsible for any attacks emanating from its territory.
The incident occurred in the area of Tel Hazeka, near the Quneitra border crossing. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Syrian troops had shelled nearby targets on the Syrian border earlier in the day.
Israel has not taken sides in the Syrian civil war. Although it has closely watched the fighting, it has largely stayed out of the violence, though it has occasionally responded to fire that has landed on the Israeli side of the Golan.
Israel says most of the fire has been unintentional but it has accused various elements in Syria of intentionally firing at Israeli targets on several occasions.

Prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in patients with Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease
ABSTRACT A role for vitamin D deficiency in Parkinson disease (PD) has recently been proposed.
To compare the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in a research database cohort of patients with PD with the prevalence in age-matched healthy controls and patients with Alzheimer disease (AD).
Survey study and blinded comparison of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations of stored samples in a clinical research database at Emory University School of Medicine.
Referral center (PD and AD patients), primary care clinics, and community setting (controls).
Participants were recruited into the study between May 1992 and March 2007. Every fifth consecutively enrolled PD patient was selected from the clinical research database. Unrelated AD (n = 97) and control (n = 99) participants were randomly selected from the database after matching for age, sex, race, APOE genotype, and geographic location.
Prevalence of suboptimal vitamin D and mean 25(OH)D concentrations.
Significantly more patients with PD (55%) had insufficient vitamin D than did controls (36%) or patients with AD (41%; P = .02, chi(2)test). The mean (SD) 25(OH)D concentration in the PD cohort was significantly lower than in the AD and control cohorts (31.9 [13.6] ng/mL vs 34.8 [15.4] ng/mL and 37.0 [14.5] ng/mL, respectively; P = .03).
This report of 25(OH)D concentrations in a predominantly white PD cohort demonstrates a significantly higher prevalence of hypovitaminosis in PD vs both healthy controls and patients with AD. These data support a possible role of vitamin D insufficiency in PD. Further studies are needed to determine the factors contributing to these differences and elucidate the potential role of vitamin D in pathogenesis and clinical course of PD.

- "studies were also reported. Low levels of plasma 25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (25-hydroxycholecalciferol, abbreviated as 25(OH)D) were suggested to be associated with mood disorders, dementia, mild cognitive impairment, PD, AD, and cognitive decline [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48]. "
ABSTRACT: Scientists have worked for over a century to uncover the basis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) with the ultimate goal of discovering a treatment. However, none of the approaches utilized have defined the exact cause of the disease or an ultimate treatment for AD. In this review, we aim to define the role of vitamin D in AD from a novel and fundamental perspective and attempt to answer the following question: Why should we seriously consider "simple" vitamin D as a "fundamental factor" in AD? To answer this question, we explain the protective effects of vitamin D in the central nervous system and how the action of vitamin D and AD-type pathology overlap. Furthermore, we suggest that the role of vitamin D in AD includes not only vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D-related genes but also the disruption of vitamin D metabolism and action. This suggestion is supported by evidence that the disruption of vitamin D pathways mimic amyloid pathology. We define the term "inefficient utilization of vitamin D" as any alteration in vitamin D-related genes, including receptors, the enzymes related to vitamin D metabolism or the transporters of vitamin D, and we discuss the potential correlation of vitamin D status with the vulnerability of neurons to aging and neurodegeneration. Finally, in addition to the current knowledge that defines AD, we suggest that AD could be the result of a long-term hormonal imbalance in which the critical hormone is vitamin D, a secosteroid that has long been misnamed.Journal of Alzheimer's disease: JAD 01/2014; 40(2).

- "Related to the role of vitamin D and PD, there are some cross-sectional studies in Japan indicating that serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) as well as 1, 25-hydroxy- vitamin D (1, 25OHD) may have an inverse correlation with the severity of PD [12] [13], and higher circulating 25OHD levels are significantly related to milder form of PD [14]. This observation has been confirmed in a European Caucasian population showing a significant decline in vitamin D levels in patients with PD compared with healthy controls and patients with Alzheimer disease [15]. More recently, in a post hoc analysis of more than 3000 participants in Finland, higher serum vitamin D level was associated with lower risk for PD [8]. "
ABSTRACT: Introduction. A role for vitamin D deficiency in Parkinson's disease (PD) has recently been proposed. Given the growing body of evidence for the association of vitamin D with several neurodegenerative disorders and unavailability of any published study in the Middle East, the present study is aimed to determine the associations of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels with the severity of PD in an Iranian sample. Methods. In 109 patients, the severity of PD was evaluated by using Hoehn & Yahr (HR) stages and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Stage (UPDRS) Part III compared with 25OHD level in a double-blind and cross-sectional study. Results. Mean ± SD levels of 25OHD were 28.5 ± 1.4 and 27.1 ± 1.5, for males and females, respectively. Also, 38.4% of the patients showed deficiency levels of 25OHD (<20 ng/mL), and 72.8% had insufficient levels (<30 ng/mL). High prevalence of 25OHD insufficiency in subjects with early disease was not associated with HR stage and UPDRS scores even after multivariate adjustment for possible confounders including disease duration. Conclusions. These findings are consistent with the possibility that vitamin D status does not seem to deteriorate during the early disease stages of PD. Further studies are needed to reveal the natural role and significance of vitamin D insufficiency in PD.International Journal of Endocrinology 07/2013; 2013:689149.

- "A recent Danish case-control study confirmed that neonatal vitamin D status was significantly associated with subsequent risk of schizophrenia (McGrath et al., 2010). In addition, cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal epidemiological studies have suggested that vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease (Newmark and Newmark, 2007; Evatt et al., 2008; Knekt et al., 2010).

Article: The vitamin D receptor in dopamine neurons; its presence in human substantia nigra and its ontogenesis in rat midbrain[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There is growing evidence that vitamin D is a neuroactive steroid capable of regulating multiple pathways important for both brain development and mature brain function. In particular, there is evidence from rodent models that prenatal vitamin D deficiency alters the development of dopaminergic pathways and this disruption is associated with altered behavior and neurochemistry in the adult brain. Although the presence of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) has been noted in the human substantia nigra, there is a lack of direct evidence showing that VDR is present in dopaminergic cells. Here we confirm that the VDR is present in the nucleus of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons in both the human and rat substantia nigra, and it emerges early in development in the rat, between embryonic day 12 (E12) and E15. Consistent evidence based on immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR and western blot confirmed a pattern of increasing VDR expression in the rat midbrain until weaning. The nuclear expression of VDR in TH-positive neurons during critical periods of brain development suggests that alterations in early life vitamin D status may influence the orderly development of dopaminergic neurons.Neuroscience 01/2013; 236:77–87.

Lindsay Lohan's rep denies name change
Lindsay Lohan's representative has shot down reports the "Mean Girls" actress has dropped her last name.
Lindsay's mother, Dina Lohan, recently suggested her famous daughter was planning an image overhaul and wanted to simply be known by her first name.
But the troubled star's spokesperson insists the rumors are false, reports PerezHilton.com.
In a statement, the actress' rep says, "Lindsay Lohan has not changed her name. It remains Lindsay Lohan."
The news will come as no surprise to Lohan's father, Michael – he was confident there was no truth to the reports and even accused his ex-wife of fabricating the claims.
Michael Lohan previously told the New York Daily News, "At the outset, it hurts to hear something like that, but at the end of the day, it's never going to happen. It's a real shame Dina would make up this kind of story."
The actress' parents have been engaged in a public war of words since divorcing in 2007.
Jennifer Lopez blasts adoption rumors
Jennifer Lopez has dismissed reports she is planning to adopt a child, insisting she and husband Marc Anthony want more kids of their own.
The singer/actress became a mom to twins Max and Emme in February 2008, and recent rumors suggested the couple was looking to add to its brood by adopting.
But Lopez has now spoken out to deny the claims – and she's adamant a brother or sister for her twins is not likely to arrive any time soon.
Asked about the adoption rumors, she tells Britain's Fabulous magazine, "No, no. That's not true. I would like to have another baby myself, actually. If it happens I'll be thrilled. But we're not trying."
Matthew McConaughey has no plans to marry
Matthew McConaughey has no plans to wed his longtime girlfriend Camila Alves, but insists his decision to shun marriage doesn't make him "any less committed" or "love her any less."
The couple is parents to two children, son Levi and daughter Vida, but the 41-year-old Hollywood actor is adamant they are not planning to exchange vows.
McConaughey concedes he and Alves may make their relationship official in the future, but he can't see himself marrying anytime soon.
During an interview with Piers Morgan, the British host asks the actor if he is against marriage and he replies, "No. I'm for marriage… (But) I don't know… Maybe one day, but… you know, it doesn't make me any less committed. It doesn't make me love her any less."
Freida Pinto defends racy magazine shoot
Actress Freida Pinto has defended her racy photoshoot for a men's magazine, insisting it was her decision to pose for the pictures.
The "Slumdog Millionaire" star raised eyebrows last year with a series of racy shots for GQ, including several images of her sprawled across a bed in her underwear.
Gossips speculated that the photoshoot was a deliberate attempt to shake off her 'nice-girl' image – and Pinto has now spoken out to stress she was not manipulated into taking part.
She tells Britain's You magazine, "The decision to do those pictures was mine. I definitely knew how I wanted to look. A stylist may have chosen the clothes but the decision to wear them was mine. I would hate to feel that I was being objectified.
"I have always said that a woman's sexuality should not be used in a way that is demeaning to her. But, you know, I don't think this is a sexist issue any more because actors are strutting their stuff in photoshoots just as much as actresses now."
'Black Swan' bosses respond to Natalie Portman 'body-double' critics
Bosses at movie company Fox Searchlight have issued a statement to address the growing criticisms of Natalie Portman's Oscar-winning role in "Black Swan."
The star scooped the Best Actress Academy Award for her turn as unstable dancer Nina in the film last month, but has since faced claims a body double was used for most of the complicated ballet dancing scenes.
The stand-in – American Ballet Theatre dancer Sarah Lane – has fueled the speculation by telling Entertainment Weekly, "Of the full body shots, I would say five percent are Natalie… I do want people to know that you cannot absolutely become a professional ballet dancer in a year and a half no matter how hard you work. I've been doing this for 22 years."
Now Fox Searchlight bosses have issued a statement to address the criticism. It reads, "We were fortunate to have Sarah there to cover the more complicated dance sequences and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did. However, Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film."
Portman herself has yet to comment on the controversy.
Kelly Osbourne hits back at angry Lady Gaga fans
Kelly Osbourne has slammed angry Lady Gaga fans who flooded her Twitter page with insults after she revealed her dislike of a country version of the singer's "Born This Way" track.
The rock offspring is a dedicated Gaga devotee, but went online to liken a remix of the star's latest song to the theme tune from 1990s sitcom "Roseanne."
On her Twitter page, she wrote, "As much as I loooooooove Gaga I have to say the country version of born this way sounds like the theme song to Roseanne!"
But the throwaway comment came back to haunt her after the "Poker Face" hitmaker's avid supporters left reams of nasty messages on her page.
Osbourne later apologized for offending the singer's fans, but went on to point out they were acting in a way their idol would be against.
She wrote, "Looks like I unintentionally p**sed some Gaga fans off. I meant no disrespect but I do find it odd that they are being hateful… especially when Gaga dedicates a huge part of her career to the eradication of hate… it's very sad."
Candy Spelling to open up about Tori troubles
Tori Spelling's mom Candy is set to lift the lid on her tumultuous relationship with her TV star daughter in an explosive new memoir.
The "Beverly Hills, 90210″ actress and her mother have long had a troubled relationship, which fell apart following the death of her TV executive father Aaron Spelling in 2006.
The pair has since reconciled, and Spelling will reveal their ups and downs in a new book, entitled "Candy Spelling: Golden Girl, Silver Lining," according to New York Post gossip column Page Six.
In the book's proposal, obtained by the publication, Spelling reveals how Tori turned her back on her family at the time of Aaron's death by failing to come to her dad's bedside because she was shooting a movie.
Spelling writes, "This public fight with my daughter came at a time when I needed her the most. So, yeah, I was mad."
Her agent adds, "Of course she's candid about Tori and Hollywood gossip over the last five years, but this next book is really about coming into her own."
The book follows Tori's own account of the falling out, "Uncharted TerriTori," which was released last June.
Jessica Simpson: 'We might elope'
Jessica Simpson is seriously considering eloping with her fiance Eric Johnson if the pressure to exchange vows becomes too much to handle.
The singer-turned-designer announced plans to wed Johnson in November after just six months of dating, but Simpson insists she is in no rush to walk down the aisle and is enjoying simply being engaged.
In an interview with Women's Wear Daily, Simpson says, "No date has been set yet. We've both been married before. We're enjoying our commitment to each other. We want to take our time… We might elope if it gets to that point."
But Simpson is sure about one thing – she'll be heavily involved in the making of her dress for the big day.
She adds, "I will be part of designing my own wedding gown."
Simpson ended her marriage to 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey in 2005, while Johnson split from stylist Keri Johnson last May after five years as man and wife.

Welcome to this weeks Rap Updates thread! Continuing on from last Monday, here, we can post & discuss
We're all music lovers here, but the problem is this love can get pretty expensive
Saw this post on facebook somewhere, do you agree tho? The main factor which comes to this is influence
I had 250. Just went back and played through them and deleted 150.
No offence Pac. I still you luv for
look, u know that eminem didn't "ruin the world" bcuz a rapper making music can't
hip hop can be a fairly homophobic culture but which rappers are changing the attitudes through
[Was Jay Z behind the Big L murder? Or is this a hoax that sounds sort of true?] http://huzlers.com/jay-z
Where Should I Get In From ?
TBH, I'm So Confused!
Be Quick My Boner's Dyin'
or are you glad he released some more music, though not on the same level as before
Kinda sad really.
I have an issue with this album…Ice Cube claims he drops more shit than a pigeon. However, a pigeon poops
It's out.
"Dickprint" had me dead.
"You out of shape
that's that shit i do like
I've seen multiple things online that claim that biggie had a few ghostwriters, or co-writers. some of them include craig mack (on ready to die), jadakiss, and mase. this true? id like to clear this up once and for all. I call major BS since there's never been any proof to back any of that up but who knows …. inb4 biggie stan lol.
Well, there's strong rumors Craig Mack and Biggie had beef, so i doubt it. As for Jadakiss and Mase, they had no involvement in Ready To Die as far as i know, so it's safe to assume Biggie did the same thing with no help for Life After Death.
If he did, it would have already been proven.
Biggie even once rated craig mack a 0 out of 10. He said he didnt like him at all. But because the money was right he did that track with him.
@iTupac how?
@Nimpeo its logic man, if it was really true, it would be proven using a credible source and therefore itd have blown up everywhere cause it'd be such a huge shock.
They say Biggie just went in to the booth and spit without writing down or thinking or nothing but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_to_Die scroll down to commercial success near the bottom
@smiggieballs93 but what if say some close friend or family member of his helped him write lyrics and never told anybody and/or died? Then there would be literally no proof.
@Nimpeo ok, thats true, but we're still talking about craig mack, jada, mase etc who ARE still alive and even if something like that really did happen, the same thing can be said about/applied to any other rapper.
@Rossah what do you mean? what am i supposed to be looking for here?
@smiggieballs93 click where it says ready to dies in my previous comment and scroll to the Commercial Success headline theres songs underneath it with the names of writers
Oh ok, I see what you mean. Well first of all, you have to remember this wikipedia so ANYONE can literally edit and change ANYTHING. Second, the producer(s) is alwaysss listed as being one of the writers along with the artist themselves and it still has to say that biggie wrote it even if he did just spit direct without writing or thinking etc etc.
@smiggieballs93 yeah but where there's one producer there's four writers, and ye i know i don't really believe i buy yeno.
Is this enough to pretty much say that jada didnt ghost write or co write for him? what do u guys think?
I doubt it. His rhymes have a signature-like consistency.

Debenhams acquires Danish chain for £12m
Friday 13 November 2009
Debenhams has acquired a Danish department store chain for £12.3m, signalling its growing ambitions beyond the UK.
The department store chain has acquired Magasin and will sell its own-bought ranges, such as Designers at Debenhams, in the stores.
On home soil, Magasin is best known for its store in the centre of Copenhagen, which sources said is "the Harvey Nichols of Denmark".
Rob Templeman, the chief executive of Debenhams, said: "We believe the close fit between the two businesses will be mutually beneficial. Magasin is one of the most recognised brands in Denmark, with a loyal customer base and some great products."
He added: "The success of our international business demonstrates that there is demand for our own bought and Designer brands outside our home market, which we believe will complement Magasin's existing brands and deliver both outstanding value and choice to the Danish consumer."
Debenhams will run Magasin from its headquarters, in London. Mr Templeman said it would benefit from the UK department store's infrastructure and economies of scale. Formerly owned by the Icelandic investor Baugur, Magasin delivered sales of £228.7m in the year to 28 February 2009. Debenhams' management estimate it will deliver Ebitda of £15m in the financial year to the end of August 2011.
There are no current plans to rebrand the Magasin stores, as the brand has far more resonance with customers in Denmark than Debenhams does. However, Debenhams acquired nine of the Roches department stores in Ireland in 2006 and eight have now been rebranded to Debenhams.
Debenhams, which has 145 department stores in the UK and Irish Republic, has 52 international stores in 17 countries. Over the past year, it has been expanding in India and the Middle East.

Karim was really nice with us. The address was correct but there wasn't any direction to the riad or even placard to difference the riad from others doors.
Très bon accueil. Très bonne adresse. Merci à Karim pour son hospitalité. Adresse à recommander
Karim et Annie étaient des hôtes fantastiques. Ils nous ont accueilli chaleureusement. Ils étaient toujours prêt à nous aider. Karim nous a organisé une excursion également. Il est un excellent cuisinier car le soir il nous préparait un succulant Tajine. L'appartement était propre, confortable et très bien situé. Merci beaucoup pour votre grande gentillesse et pour ce séjour fabuleux.
Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Karim et Anne. Ils ont pris le temps de nous conseiller, de réserver des excursions et de discuter avec nous.
Leur logement est joli, bien tenu et agréable. L'emplacement est intéressant, car dans un quartier calme et à 15 minutes de la place centrale.
Nous vous adressons un grand merci pour ces quelques jours passés chez vous !
Karim and Anne were great hosts in Marrakech. The house is in a small street close to everything and using the hosts' excellent directions it's not difficult to find. The room is a bit dark since it is on the ground floor of the Riad when the window facing the courtyard, but the tiles are beautiful and so is the roof terrace. Karim and Anne were really helpful at recommending things to do and see in Marrakech as well as giving us directions on how to get there. Thank you!
We (3 german Girls) stayed with Karim and Anne the whole time in Marakkesch, the riad is very quiet and relaxing, with an amazing roof top, everything very clean, you have the possibility to cook and you are in 10 minutes walking distance at the big Square! The two are very caring and helpful persons and we loved our stay there! :)

Apps: Angry Birds 3.2, Limbo, Vine 1.3 + Yahoo! Weather
Rovio's original Angry Birds ($1) now features a brand new episode, Red's Mighty Feathers, in which the Red Bird gains new powers from the Mighty Eagle. Instead of seeking to defeat the pigs, Red Bird is defending his eggs in this episode, making for a shift in gameplay. The new levels in version 3.2 also incorporate gameplay from Rovio's Bad Piggies game, as the pigs advance in contraptions to steal eggs. Red's Mighty Feathers features 15 new levels.
Playdead's acclaimed sidescroller Limbo ($5) finally makes its way to iOS. Having debuted for XBox Live Arcade in 2010, the game features a young boy making his way through a dark forest. A quiet, atmospheric game in black and white, Limbo gives users no indication on how to control its character or what to do next. It can leave gamers a bit lost at first when sending the boy into another gruesome death, but the trial-and-error nature of the game almost begs users to walk into certain death to figure out a better way to navigate its puzzles. The controls are intuitive, even when using a touchscreen. If you dig its creepy vibe, Limbo is certainly worth buying as a welcome twist to the sidescroller genre.
Vine (free) from Vine Labs gets a major update in version 1.3. The video-sharing app has introduced 15 new channels, new video capture tools and a section that highlights "new and interesting Viners." Vine also becomes more like Twitter with new protected accounts, and last but not least, the ability to "revine," which lets users share their favorite Vines with followers in one tap. It's Vine's version of the retweet, and social media reaction on the new feature seems to be mixed, at best.
The first major update has arrived for Yahoo! Weather (free) by Yahoo! Version 1.1 offers ultraviolet information for select countries. The hourly forecast has been increased to 24 hours, and the daily forecast now shows the next 10 days. Yahoo! also claims the app features an "improved" icon, but whether or not you think it's an improvement likely depends on your affinity for purple app icons.

Nearby Shops Disappointed With ACL Sales
Updated: Monday, October 7 2013, 07:53 PM CDT
The music from weekend number one of the Austin City Limits music festival is still ringing in their ears. The ringing of the cash registers -- not so much. That's the word from area businesses near the festival site where some say festival sales failed to meet their expectations.
If you just spent three days seeing your favorite acts on stage you'd be pretty happy. Repeat attendee Jeff Hudson from Houston says, "Austin is a great place to experience something like this. It really is."
But if you were counting on the fans making a pit stop at your business on their way in and out of the festival you were probably disappointed. Michael Sharp, the general manager at Austin Java Cafe says, "We were prepared to do a bit more business than we got. Things were a little bit softer than expected based on the research we had done."
A little softer despite some fans doing more than their part. Armando Moreno from Dallas says he had coffee every morning at Austin Java and when he came by after the shows the shops along Barton Springs Road were packed.
Kenneth Westin, a waiter at Uncle Billy's was happy with his share of customers. He told us, "My weekend was great. It was a little slower than I wanted it to be but it was smooth."
And back at Austin Java, the GM has great hopes in weekend number two of ACL. Sharp says, "What we're hoping that will take place is that it's going to be a brand new crowd for the second week and perhaps we'll enjoy a bit more of what we expect to do business-wise."
One can always hope. But the two-weekend ACL format is new territory for everybody including event organizers. We really won't know if it worked until its over.

Enterprise and Competitiveness by Mark Casson
Book DescriptionMark Casson demonstrates how the economic effects of culture-social values such as honesty, dedication, and loyalty-can be analysed in a rigorous fashion. He argues that gains from technology in modern society can be offset by high costs stemming from the missing moral dimension which has implications for economic competitiveness and for social and economic institutions. A strong culture reduced transaction costs and enhances performance-the success of an economy thus depends on the quality of its culture.
