I've determined that I cannot take fish oil. I started to break out so I eliminated all supplements and added back the fish oil again after my face had cleared. Well, I broke out again and my forehead especially developed a reaction with red splotchiness and uneven skin tone along with splotchiness. I guess you could say it very slightly resembled cradle cap because the skin was all dry and patchy. So I'm allergic to fish oil, or at least my skin is. I think some can benefit from it and some just have a negative reaction and I'm one of those.

after reading about all the positive reviews about omega 3 fish oil, I decided to give Nordic Natural a try. I purchased it at a local Whole foods store . May I remind you it's a lot more expensive than the other over the counter brand. They claim that it has been filtered and clean? I don't know how they processed their fish oils but I end up with painful cysts on my face , scalp, and back after taking it for about 2 weeks. I stopped the fish oil supplement and it cleared up. I didn't eat any differently nor did I introduce any new cleanser, makeup or skin care product to my routine. I was so horrified because the cysts weren't normal cysts. They were extremely large and painful. I didn't even have this amount of cysts to begin with so I was too horrified to try fish oil again . I thought it might just be my own body reaction but my niece who was also taking children's version of this fish oil in chewable form. she ended up with severe craddle cap at the age of 3 after taking it for about 3 weeks when children shouldn't even be "starting" to have craddle cap. when her mom decided to get her off nordic natural fish oil, her cradle cap went away and never returned again . There are many things about the fish oil industry that people do not know about, especially how they go around processing the fish oil. I believe fish oils to be healthy as can be seen by many cultures that actually eat fish. However, fish oil in it's process form is another story.

Initially, my psychiatrist recommended I take 2,000mg of Omega-3's daily as a natural mood enhancer (I suffer from depression and anxiety).
After a couple of weeks of taking these fish oil pills daily, I did start noticing an improvement in my complexion. It was a nice surprise, because I had been getting hormonal breakouts along my jawline (whiteheads and pimples) ever since my birth control was switched. My skin looks much smoother now, and it doesn't feel as dry. An awesome bonus!
Also, I think that this stuff has been serving me well with its original purpose -- my mood is slightly more elevated, and I just "feel" healthier in general. I used to take fish oil everyday and then stopped for a while, but I plan on keeping up with it now. If you plan on including fish oil in your supplement intake, take it with a meal (as with any vitamin or supplement) because you might get a stomach ache if you don't.
Will repurchase. Makes me look good AND feel good. Amazing.

While most of the people that take this supplement seem to experience no problem whatsoever, this review is just a heads up for those that might be experiencing them.
A couple months ago I began taking fish oil; I had hoped it would prove beneficial not just for my overall health but for my skin as well. I don't believe it was this particular brand, but it was basically the same thing (I was careful to take the "good" kind). I'll be honest--I didn't actually expect it to do anything, nonetheless, I vigilantly took 1-3 pills daily with my meals (just as you're supposed to).
Within days I began to experience a rapid increase in cystic acne! It was very strange. I'm telling you, all these big zits (the painful kind) were suddenly, and quite randomly, popping up in multiple numbers and in places I'd never gotten them before! In hindsight I can say that these zits were just so different in nature from my usual kind that I should have realized something was off right away, unfortunately, it took me WEEKS (plus, a bunch of research on other sites) to realize that it was actually the fish oil that was causing it.
After wading through tons of reviews on other sites, I realized that about a third of the people reviewing the supplement were describing the exact same symptoms I was experiencing! It was a huge relief to learn this! As soon as I quit taking them I stopped getting all those zits---I had been getting like 3-4 new ones daily--and my skin went back to normal.
After reading a bunch of accounts by people who claimed it had taken them years to determine the cause (and only because they had stumbled across it on the internet), I figured I might as well put something here just in case someone else was having the same problem. It's not in your head.

I've been taking these on and off for over a year and can see and feel the difference when I slack off from taking it. My skin and hair loves this stuff and I notice a boost in energy as well. I've tried many brands of Omega-3 and this is the best in my opinion.

I take the Omega 3/6/9 version of this, and it's fabulous. I just ordered my 3rd bottle. In the past, fish oil capsules have made me feel sick, and made me burp stinky fish smells (yes, I'll admit it). These don't do any of that! They include lemon, which apparently helps with it, and I store them in the freezer, which also helps. It's important to have a good balance of all omega fats, not just 3, or you won't get the same results. Fish oil capsules are nothing short of miraculous. Research supports that they help with overall health, weightloss and how your hair and skin look. Obviously you should be eating a healthy, balanced diet that does include fish (which I do), but fish is expensive and can be unsafe, depending on where it's caught, etc. Give these a try!

This fish oil is supposed to be the "higher" quality fish oil being mollecularly distilled at "suposedly" lower temperature, fewer chemicals during processing. Advertised as being free of lead , mercury, heavy metal, dioxins, PCB, etc. Supposely high quality from clean water? Sadly, I broke out severely taking these fishy oil. I might be allergic to fish oil? But I have no problem what so ever eating fish, shellfish, seafoods, shrimps, sushi, etc. I am not a fish oil business owner, an expert on fish oil, nor am I into multilevel marketing on fish oil. I cannot in my right conscience advocate something that caused severe breakout for me, especially for someone who is acne prone. That's just cruel. Although I am aware of the many benefits fish oil have on health, according to cyber articles, I can only share my own personal experience and not the experience of others. I am not a Fish Worhsipper that see it as something that can do no wrong. Nor will I do hand stand jumping up and down on the band wagon cheerleading rah rah rah when I get hit by a brick wall. The oil just does not work out for me. i am giving it to my dog instead. Maybe it might help her with her eczema? I am still waiting for that result. Her fur is so thick, I can't even tell if the dermatitis is still there are not. She is still doing the itchy and scratchy show. Maybe it's fleas? who knows. I will not take any more fish oil.
Here are some informations on the pro and cons of fish oils:

Death prompts Boston health officials' warning over re-heating gravy
Posted: January 18, 2013|
HEALTH officials in Boston have issued warnings about re- heating gravy following the death of a woman.
The woman in her 40s died after contracting food poisoning after eating Christmas dinner at a hotel in Essex. Thirty others were also ill.
But households could be harbouring a brown killer in a jug, local authorities have warned as in some circumstances two-day-old gravy can lead to fatal food poisoning. And that can include gravy made from granules as well as "proper" gravy.
Boston Borough Council's principal environmental health officer Trevor Darnes said: "Samples taken from those that ate at the hotel revealed they had suffered Clostridium Perfringens food poisoning.
"This is the third most common type of food poisoning and foods usually implicated include stews, casseroles, gravy and sauces that have been pre-cooked then not cooled quickly or kept at room temperature before being warmed up again for service.
"This bacterium produces something called a spore which enables it to survive high cooking temperatures. The spores do not make people ill, however, if the food is left in a warm kitchen for a long time the spores will turn into bacteria and start to multiply very quickly.
"High numbers of bacteria may cause headache, fever, stomach pains and diarrhoea. Whilst this outbreak occurred in a commercial premise it can happen in a domestic environment. People shouldn't panic though as Clostridium Perfringens food poisoning can be prevented by ensuring that cooked foods that are not being served straight away are cooled as soon as possible and then kept in the fridge prior to thorough re-heating. Cooling large quantities of food quickly can be achieved by portioning into smaller containers, allowing the initial heat to be removed and then placing in the fridge."
It is estimated that around one million people suffer food poisoning each year in England and Wales and around 500 people die from eating contaminated food.
Tops tips for preventing food poisoning
Always wash hands thoroughly before handling food, especially ready-to-eat foods.
Keep raw foods such as meat and vegetables separate from ready-to-eat foods.
Thoroughly clean and disinfect work surfaces, equipment and utensils.
Put a thermometer in the fridge and check the temperature is at or below 80C.
Never use food past the use by date.
Check food is piping hot all the way through prior to serving.
Cooked food which is not consumed straight away should be cooled quickly.

Decision-makers need to plan for enhanced cloud security
Any innovative technology will introduce new risks and security concerns, and the cloud is no different. However, if an organization takes the time to plan its migration to the hosted environments, security concerns can be addressed throughout the implementation and make the cloud a safer virtual environment, according to a CloudTweaks report.
To begin, decision-makers need to determine the fundamental controls that will form the foundation of cloud infrastructure security. By planning ahead, organizations can easily protect sensitive corporate records by implementing additional defensive tools for confidential sections of the virtual environment, the news source reported.
Prior to deploying the dedicated hosting services, IT departments and decision-makers should ask business leaders about sensitive areas they wish to have covered. As a result, important records won't be left vulnerable in the virtual infrastructure because they weren't taken into account during the migration process, CloudTweaks noted.
According to a BankInfoSecurity report, decision-makers should also install access control features that will limit access to cloud environments, ultimately making the cloud-based architectures less prone to breaches.

Fiero Kit Car Madness: Murcielago replica by ZORBA Design
Production ended in 1988 for the Pontiac Fiero, but that hasn't stopped kit car companies from resurrecting the mid-engine sports car into various supercar imitations. Not as visually dysfunctional as the recent Fierri Enzno this latest example comes from UsedFieroParts.com, an authorized distributor and installation partner for North Hollywood's very own Zorba Design, the creator of this Zorba G40 kit.
Available in coupe or roadster version, the G40 kit costs approximately $31,000 which takes into consideration an average Fiero donar car price, leather interior and paint work but excludes wheels/tires or any other upgrades beyond the donor Fiero.

now this is interesting . the USA , the world's only surviving superpower ... manufacturing Italian supercar knockoffs . oh well , I have always thought that Americans were far too overrated , anyway .
Nov 19th, 2008 12:30am
If you want a Murcielago and can't afford one, get a better job. Driving around in this will mean you achieve nothing more than you could just driving a 20 year old Fiero. Who of sane mind think this gives you even a sniff of the Lamborhini experience?
Nov 18th, 2008 9:45pm
Actually these type of cars should not be touched! They look gorgeous without giving them a make. The rear is some where acceptable but the front is ugly! damn what a wast of Lambos! Hope the leave the SLR alone.

Really.. That retarded? lets think, well lets insult.. 99.9% of us will never own a Murcielago.. face the fact.. so if you have talent in a garage why not fabricate a vehicle like a lambo that the average joe couldn't tell apart.. I would rather build something a little more crazy but as some people say. If your build something, someone will buy it.

Thats like saying, dont buy originals...buy pirated stuff and rip offs!!! Coze we cant afford the real thing! Lets imitate others to pretend we have the real thing.

why do poeple make stupid replicas?? i dont understand it they look really really bad and cr*ppy and if you buy one you are really sad... do you know what is even worse than these kind of replciaes when people take their cr*ppy little celica and make it look like a ferrari, seriously come on.

"I am your child from the future. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier." - Dylan Easton
BALTIMORE -- Javy Lopez was traded from the Baltimore Orioles to Boston on Friday, a deal that gives the former All-Star another chance to play and provides the Red Sox a replacement for injured catcher Jason Varitek.
The Orioles sent Lopez and cash to the Red Sox for a player to be named.
Varitek had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Thursday and was expected to immediately begin rehabilitation. The Red Sox have not given an indication of when their captain might return.
The Red Sox lead the wild-care race and are competing with New York for the AL East title. The Orioles are out of contention, and didn't have much need for Lopez because Ramon Hernandez is their starting catcher and Jay Gibbons serves as the designated hitter.
Lopez hoped to be dealt before the non-waiver trade deadline Monday. He then passed through waivers before being traded to Boston.
At 35, Lopez is in the final season of a $22.5 million, three-year contract he signed as a free agent with the Orioles in December 2003. He got that deal after hitting .328 with 43 home runs and 109 RBI for Atlanta, his third All-Star season for the Braves.
Lopez is hitting .265 with eight home runs and 31 RBI in 279 at-bats. He has caught in only 21 of the Orioles' 109 games as a backup to Ramon Hernandez.
"I've got no position on this team. I don't see why they really need me," Lopez said this week. "I'm not meant to play once a week. ... I cannot be happy in this situation. They probably have their plan, and I don't think they're going to keep me like this until the end of the season. They're probably going to do something sooner or later."

(USA TODAY) -- Pop singer Ke$ha, who checked into rehab for an eating disorder earlier this month, was the victim of a serious weight struggle.
Her mom, Pebe Sebert, who has entered the same facility as her daughter, is shedding more light on her daughter's situation.
watched my beautiful, self-confident, brilliant daughter be berated and
ridiculed for her looks and weight to the point that she almost died,"
Sebert tells People.
"The doctors told me her blood pressure and sodium levels were so low,
they'd never seen it that low except with someone who'd had a heart
attack or stroke. They said it was a miracle she hadn't already dropped
dead on stage."
According to her mom, Ke$ha, 26, had been battling
body issues since middle school, but they have gotten worse since she
signed with longtime producer Dr. Luke and former manager David Sonenberg, when she was just 18.
time on a conference call, Sonenberg was screaming, 'You need to lose
weight! I don't care what you do ... take drugs, not eat, stick your
finger down your throat!' " Sebert tells People. "Ke$ha was just weeping. She drove around afterward thinking about killing herself."
Dr. Luke and Sonenberg have denied the allegations.

quickly and quietly" even in public restrooms. "She'd even take a bag in
there so no one could see her bent over the toilet. She was really

Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut and let others assume you are STUPID, then open it and remove all doubt. Would it change you mind if you knew the drug dealer offered the employee a bundle of the money, to keep his mouth shut. Why would he do this if the money was legally obtained? The employee needs to be thanked for doing the RIGHT thing. He could have taken the bribe and been a CRIMINAL too. He DID NOT stoop the level of the DRUG DEALER. THANK YOU Ala Lock and Key for having an HONEST reputation and employee.

Save your resources and do not respond to the shooting victims until "they" call you. When someone reports a person shot, tell them thanks and hang up. It seems like the these "victims" and "witnesses" don't want to change and never have any knowledge to the events anyway.

Meeting People While Studying Abroad
Many people choose to study abroad so they can meet new people and see how people of other cultures live their lives. To really experience the country that you travel to, you need to spend time with the local people. This doesn't mean you cannot spend time with your fellow students who are studying abroad, but you should make a point to meet new people and make friends with at least a few local people while you're in a foreign country.
Making friends while studying in a strange place can be intimidating, but it is important to try. Most likely you will be well received. Here are a few suggestions for meeting new people while studying abroad.
Making Friends from Your Country
It is a good idea to become friends with at least a few of the other students who are studying abroad. These students are going through the same things you are, and it is possible that you will stay friends with these people after you finish studying abroad. According to Jessie Festa, "I can't believe I ever worried about this. It is virtually impossible not to make friends. Everyone is in the same boat as you: nervous and just wanting to enjoy their experience abroad."
Also, often times you will be able to meet people through these friends. This is especially true if you are a shy or quiet person. Sometimes you can use your friends to meet new and interesting people.
Stray from Your Group of Other Study Abroad Friends
Going out with the other study abroad students is a great way to meet new people if you are nervous about talking to locals on your own. When you're in a group of all tourists, you instantly stand out. People will notice you, and when they do, you have your open to talk to them. Ask them to join your group for coffee or for lunch. Or strike up a conversation while browsing in one of the local shops.
If you are with a group of other study abroad students, you may be able to relax. In this strategy, you don't necessarily have to talk to a local person by yourself. You can use your friend as a buffer in getting the conversation started. This strategy takes some of the pressure off, especially if there is any sort of language barrier.
One downside to the strategy of meeting new people in a group is that you may never stray from your comfort zone. Make it a point to get out of the group and try to meet someone, once you feel comfortable, or just tell the group that you want to meet some of the local people on your own. It will be easier to branch out if everyone else knows what you want to do.
Follow Through After Meeting Someone
If you aren't positive a friendship will emerge after your first meeting, you should still follow through with a new person. Make sure to get their phone number or connect through social media, and then makes plans to get together. Even if you didn't immediately hit it off, a connection is still a connection, and you should meet up with them again. You can't necessarily make a final judgment after one meeting, and you never know who you'll meet through the new person by trying to get together again. The main idea is being open to all kinds of people, which is one of the points of studying abroad in the first place.
Don't Give Up If You Feel Awkward
Even if you feel awkward meeting and hanging out with new people, you shouldn't give up on them too easily. If they are open to spending time with you, take them up on it. If they didn't seem open to talking to you, maybe that isn't the person to try making future plans with. Be careful not to be too pushy, but also make sure not to confuse something like a language barrier with someone disliking you.
Remember that you are a novelty. You are the foreigner; the person from the outside trying to fit in. You are interesting because you are different. Use this to your advantage, and if you have nothing to talk about, discuss the differences you see. Most people will be interested in comparing cultures, languages, and customs.

Two charged after misconduct probe
Posted: June 20, 2013|
A MAN and woman have both been charged with conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office following a police fraud investigation.
Kevin Wingrave, 50, and Lyn McMayon, 56, both of Periwinkle Drive in Chaddlewood, have been charged following Operation Bathgate, carried out by Devon and Cornwall Police.

Anthony Bodgin, who worked for the housing department of Exeter City Council, is accused of nine charges linked to the alleged payments, claimed to have been made between October 2005 and January 2011. He is facing two counts of theft, four of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office, two of misconduct in public office and one count of fraud. The four other people, not employed by the local authority, are also facing charges, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
Kevin Wingrave has been charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office, while Les McGirl, Lyn McMayon and Garry Rawlings have each been charged with one count of the offence. The five are all due to appear at Exeter Magistrates Court on July 2.

China, one of the world's fastest-growing countries in the past three decades, is facing a long-term decline in its economic growth rate, a top economic and political strategist told a gathering of the Shanghai Foreign Correspondents Club on Friday.
"We need to get used to the fact that the boom is over," said Andy Rothman, China macro strategist at brokerage CLSA. "The days when you could just roll out of bed and make money, or the days when you could expect that the growth rate for most things was going to be faster next year — that's done. We should expect that for the foreseeable future, every year on average, most major economic data points are going to be growing more slowly."
Still, China's GDP will likely expand 7.5% this year, compared with 7.8% last year, Rothman said. That figure will taper off to 5-6% annually by the end of the decade, he predicted. "Beyond that, there is absolutely no reason to believe that this is not going to be a maturation process like everyplace else. Eventually, we're going to be happy with 3% GDP (growth), just like in the OECD countries," he said. Rothman, a former U.S. diplomat and influential China hand, titled his presentation: "Brave new world: Get used to steadily slower China growth."
So where does growth in the world's most populous nation look relatively promising? Rather than state-owned firms that top the rankings of China's largest businesses, private sector companies are increasingly the engine of economic gains in the country, Rothman said. "It's important to understand that a majority of the economy is in private hands," he said. As an example of how private-sector companies are often healthier than state-owned ones, Rothman noted that first-half profit at private-sector industrial companies this year rose 16% from a year earlier versus an increase of only 5% at state-owned counterparts.
One key growth driver in China in the future will remain consumers, making the country the "world's best consumption story," Rothman said. China, though enjoying a 12% increase in retail spending last year, still has a relatively small share of consumption as a percentage of its GDP. That is only because "investment has been growing so fast," he said.
Rothman doesn't expect any one-off stimulus package from the Chinese government to boost GDP in the second half of 2013. On the whole, there likely be no re-acceleration of growth but no sharper downturn, he said. The new leadership of Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang will put an emphasis on longer term reform measures including changes in the household registration system, Rothman said.
The pace of GDP growth in China, currently the world's second largest economy, has become increasingly important over the years to global commodity and energy markets, as well as U.S. companies doing business in the country, such as Starbucks Starbucks, Yum!, Nike, Ford and GM, to name a few.

The kind of scene that terrifies Lawrence Martin. Photo: Shaun Best/Reuters
Of the various conspiratorial-driven hyperbole-prone Canadian political writers, people like Murray Dobbin or Heather Mallick spring to mind. Which is why I was surprised it wasn't either writer who penned this ridiculous piece about "rightwing nationalism", but long-time author and journalist Lawrence Martin.
It takes quite a bit to rile me up these days enough to get me to sit down and put my own thoughts foward, but Martin's diatribe could not stand. I suppose what bothers me most about the piece is that it seems to ignore all of the evidence pointing to the contrary of his position, which is that far from becoming a more rightwing country, Canada has probably never been more staunchly socialist. I'll address each of Martin's points in kind:
Message Control. It's not central to rightwing nationalism, so much as it is central to modern public relations. You don't just see it at a federal level either. Increasingly these days you see provinces and municipalities vetting the comments of their public servants, hiring communications officers or spokespeople, in order to deliver a consistent message to the public.
And why is that of primary importance? Well, without disparaging every journalist, which is my occupation, the answer is that the media play a lot of "gotcha" politics with the stories of the day. It's often safer and prudent to ensure that communications be filtered through a central command, less because anybody has anything to hide, but more because the appearance of deviation from one consistent message is often distorted by the media into something malign.
As a person in the media I find this frustrating. I didn't like the fact I had to have my interview with a biologist in the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources approved by the bigwigs in the B.C. Liberal government. But, by stepping outside of my job as a journalist I can see the necessity.
Flag-Waving Populism. This one confused me. If anything, the most avid flag-wavers are the newly-minted South Asian and African citizens who want very badly to be Canadian. You see the same thing with the Punjabi and Mandarin penetration of the foreign language broadcasting for NHL games, as immigrants want to feel Canadian by joining in our traditions. Unless Lawrence Martin thinks that a largely multicultural country in which almost everybody is a dual-citizen will somehow start a multicultural fascist party that suddenly becomes xenophobically opposed to sponsoring their own relatives, I don't quite understand his point.
Less Tolerance. Indeed? Admission targets for 2012 are 259,900 people, not including foreign temporary workers and students. This is consistent with previous years under Conservative rule, although if you include foreign temporary workers and students, the Conservatives set a record for allowing foreigners into Canada in 2007 with 429,649 people. Pretty intolerant, eh?
Having said that, Martin makes a point about the oddly selective decision to uphold who is a Canadian citizen and who isn't, as evidenced by the Abousfian Abdelrazik fiasco. Either Canada upholds citizenship as a paramount right, or else enshrines in law naturalized and dual citizens as a secondary class.
Anti-Intellectualism. In some respects he's right. The government's battle against Vancouver's legal heroin injection site is baffling, mainly because they're not fighting it on moral grounds but on medical grounds. But by the same token, many of the Conservative decisions to buck the scientific consensus have been vindicated, particularly by opting out of the Kyoto Protocol, which would have devastated Canada's economy even more than the financial meltdown has already. Although support for spending money to fight climate change is still strong, it's clearly declining year over year.
The Smearing of Opponents. And this is a rightwing tactic? It's true the attack ads on Michael Ignatieff and Stephane Dion were unethical, relying mainly on misquotes and half truths, but it isn't as though the Conservatives are the only ones playing that dirty game. Having said that, the Conservatives do play the dirtiest, probably because they have a fundraising machine that outearns all other political parties combined.
Anti-Labour Bent. I think the anti-labour movement has been prevalent for more than a decade, long before the Conservatives took power. And the reason for that is obvious. A perfect example is in the recent job action by the B.C. Teacher's Federation, which has caused teachers to refuse to do their jobs properly, opt out of any non-essential work duties, and pretty much make demands that are unaffordable and unreachable for any government in the current economic climate.
Another example is the greedy Canada Post union, which for whatever reason wanted to keep salaries at $23 an hour to start, which is probably about 120 per cent higher than the free market starting wage for unskilled labour. There is very little sympathy among those of us in the private sector, many of whom have more education and responsibilities, for public sector workers earning inflated salaries that simply don't compare to the real world. In fact, union collective bargaining agreements are one of the largest source of local government inflation in Canada.
Cult of the Leader. Yes, the cult of leader issue with Harper has been strong, and borderline disturbing. But is it any more disturbing than the orange crush love affair on Jack Layton? What about federal Liberal-supporter and current B.C. premier Christy Clark putting her name in the logo of the B.C. Liberals? Talk about megalomaniacal.
Frankly, most of Martin's argument don't wash. What he fails to mention in his column is that social spending by the Conservatives is the highest level Canada has ever seen. He's expanded social programs like Employment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan, created regional development agencies, bloated the public sector, and overseen a 22 per cent rise in spending since taking power in 2006. The Harper party governs by a Big Government style that eschews fiscal responsibility for political expediency.
And any of the socially conservative fears of the Harper government have failed to come to pass. No move to restrict abortion, no repealing of the rights and benefits for homosexual marriage, and no infringement of the secular state with religion. All of the fearmongering simply has not come to pass. Even the axing of the gun registry has had moderate support from rural NDP MPs.
Finally, the pro-military shift has been a collective change in Canada, not a rightwing one. After decades of relative pacifism, Kandahar finally thrust Canada into a war where we the public were confronted with casualties on a regular basis. The reaction to that was universal across partisan lines. The loss of life was mourned and the recognition of what our military represents and who they serve was finally brought to the forefront of public consciousness. Though people differed in opinion as to the political reasons for being in Afghanistan, Canadians uniformly supported our men and women in uniform.
I interviewed an Afghan veteran for Remembrance Day, and his thoughts were expressed at the end of this newspaper article:
"Before [the mission] there were times I was afraid to walk down the street in uniform. Now, I walk down the street in uniform, no matter what city in Canada, and someone stops me and thanks me or wants to shake the hand of a soldier."
No matter what side of the debate you fall on in Afghanistan, says Midan, it has made Canadians realize we have an army and that it's important.

Current Polls:
With the start of the new legislative session in Hartford there is much talk about roads and traffic in Connecticut and what can be done about it. One of the main issues is to decide on the best way to pay for the costs of any infrastructure or other changes that will need to be made. As always, that leads to a discussion on bringing back tolls. Tolls were removed from I-95 way back in 1985, but talking of bringing them back resurfaces regularly. Bank in 2009 we asked about bringing them back and our respondents favored bringing them back by a 62-38% margin. How about now - Should tolls be put back on Connecticut roads?

Trump Tells Obama to Show the Birth Certificate
Posted By kurtnimmo On March 23, 2011 @ 2:47 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile,U.S. News | Comments Disabled
March 23, 2011
Is Donald Trump a "birther," that political fate worse than death — or almost? Only "truthers" are more reviled by the establishment.
The Donald went on The View and said Obama needs to show the birth certificate.
"I want him to show his birth certificate. I want him to show his birth certificate," he said. "Everybody else has to. Excuse me. I really believe there is a birth certificate. Look, she's smiling. Why doesn't he show his birth certificate? I wish he would. I think it's a terrible pale hanging over him."
And if it is discovered Barry was not born in the United States? What then?
Can we send him back to Chicago? Or to prison for tricking the nation?

Tito Summa Siahaan & Ivan Dasa Saputra
Ito Warsito was named chief executive of Indonesia's stock exchange on Thursday, retaining his post for a second three-year term as a global economic slowdown undermines investment in equities.
Ito beat out Mandiri Sekuritas chief Harry Maryanto Supoyo for the bourse's top spot. The Indonesia Stock Exchange ( IDX) confirmed his appointment in a statement published on its website.
Ito Warsito, born in Wonosobo, Central Java, faces the daunting task of boosting the local stock market amid the euro zone debt crisis and a possible slowdown in the US economy.
Massive sell-offs by foreign investors have taken their toll on Indonesia's stock market in recent weeks and caused the rupiah to weaken despite central bank measures to prop up the currency.
Halim Susanto, president director of OSK Nusadana Securities, applauded Ito's appointment, saying that Ito has a proven track record.
"During the first term, he implemented market-friendly policies," Halim said.
Halim also called on the IDX's management to "anticipate a more open, globalized market."
Total combined market capitalization of 448 listed companies in the local exchange was valued at Rp 3,595 trillion ($385 billion) on Friday, slightly higher than Rp 3,537 trillion at the end of last year, when there were 444 listed companies.
The main stock measure, the Jakarta Composite Index, rose 0.7 percent on Friday. The benchmark, which rose 3.2 percent last year, has fallen 0.1 percent so far this year.
Ito, 50, said last year that the local bourse was seeking to almost double its market value in the next four years and become the biggest stock exchange in Southeast Asia. Market capitalization could rise to $750 billion by 2015, he said, and he has been encouraging Indonesian companies to list their shares in the local stock market.
Coal miner Toba Bara Sejahtra plans to offer 317.9 million shares, or 15 percent of its enlarged capital, on June 27-29, with trading possibly set to start on July 5.
MNC Skyvision, the largest pay TV operator, plans to sell 1.412 billion shares, or 20 percent of its enlarged capital, in an initial public offering later this year. The company will offer the shares to investors from June 29 to July 3, with a listing set for July 9.
The IDX is chaired by the chief executive and five directors. Among other appointments, Hoesen was named director of valuation; Uriep Budhi Prasetyo as director of supervision; Samsul Hidayat as finance director; Friderica Widyasari Dewi as develoment director; Adikin Basirun as director of risk management and information technology; and Hamdi Hassyarbaini as human development director.

We have small but important oral history collections offering insights into British sport, past and present.
Collections include:
- The Oral History of British Athletics (catalogue no: C790) collection is a rolling programme of life story interviews with British athletes. Includes: Jim Peters, Audrey Court (Brown), Steve Smith, Menzies Campbell, Kirsty Wade, Mary Peters, Daley Thompson, Jackie Ageypong, Joe McGhee, Bill Roberts, Robert Kennedy, Sandy Duncan, Dorothy Tyler, Dorothy Hyman.
- Cold water swimmers interviews (catalogue no: C987) is a series of 15 recordings with cold water swimmers about their swimming routines, made between July 1999 and February 2000 by Dr Susie Parr of the Department of Clinical Communication Studies, City University, London, at seaside resorts around the UK, including Brighton, Hastings, Scarborough and Eastbourne.
- An interview with tennis player Kathleen (Kitty) Godfrey is included in the National Life Stories project Leaders of National Life (C408).
- An interview with British Olympic weightlifter Ben Helfgott is included in the National Life Stories project Living Memories of the Jewish Community (C410).
- Issues of sport and leisure are also a main feature of the Millennium Memory Bank (C900) recordings. The recordings in the Millennium Memory Bank derived from the joint BBC and British Library project The Century Speaks: Millennium Oral History Project. This is one of the largest collections of oral history interviews ever to have been assembled - a unique and invaluable snapshot of how the British think of themselves and their past from the perspective of the beginning of a new millennium. One of the project themes was 'Playtime' which asked people about their leisure activities.

Theorems of Leray-Schauder Type and Applications presents a systematic and unified treatment of Leray-Schauder continuation theorems in nonlinear analysis. In particular fixed theory is established for many classes of maps, for example, contractive, non-expansive, accretive and compact. This book also presents concidence and multiplicty results. Many applications of current interest in the theory of nonlinear differential equations are given to complement the theory. The text is essentially self-contained so it may also be used as an introduction to topological methods in nonlinear analysis.

Little Shop of Horrors (tour)
Editorial Staff • West End • 1 Dec 2006
Matthew White's production has inevitably been scaled-down and simplified for its touring incarnation, but loses none of its ludicrous camp charm in the process. Clare Buckfield comfortably slips into Sheridan Smith's ample slippers as delicate flower Audrey, while Alex Ferns has a gas in a wickedly weird turn as sadistic dentist Scrivello.
Buckfield and Ferns are the standouts in a cast that also features the ever-dependable Clive Rowe as Audrey II (the shrub with a taste for blood) and Sylvester McCoy as insecure plant shop-owner Mushnik, who still raises laughs despite (or maybe because of) his disastrous stab at an American-Jewish accent. And as his meek shop assistant-cum-amateur botanist Seymour, the aptly named Damian Humbley displays the requisite levels of vacillation and angst that are as deep-rooted as his monstrous botanical creation.
This is a well-oiled touring machine, even if the wobbly set walls aren't quite as strong as the creative talent on show. Recent Whatsonstage.com award-winner Lynne Page's choreography is fresh and fun, and director White injects no shortage of neat touches to keep the laughs coming (Scrivello's sudden show of dental masochism a particular treat).
The ensemble feels a little thin in number, and the sound system is decidedly unbalanced at times, but these are minor complaints about a show that comes about as close as you get to a guaranteed good night out.
- Theo Bosanquet
NOTE: The following THREE STAR review dates from March 2007 and this production's run at the Duke of York's Theatre
Well, it's a lot of fun, of course, but is Little Shop of Horrors really any good? Who cares, I suppose, when this delightful, off-the-wall 1983 spoof rock and roll horror musical about a man-eating plant which transforms the fortunes (and kills off the staff in a consummation devoutly not to be wished) of a flower shop on Skid Row spreads its tentacles through the auditorium.
That is literally what happens at the end of the Menier Chocolate Factory production of last November, now happily ensconced at the Duke of York's and likely to win as many new friends as the Menier's previous up-town move with Sunday in the Park with George.
I have two immediate big caveats. The sound system is terrible, harsh and too metallic, rendering the last twenty minutes of the show inaudible. And Alistair McGowan is okay as the sadistic dentist (and in other minor roles) – much better than he was as an anaemic Ford in the RSC's misfired musical Merry Wives – but not a patch on Jasper Britton whom he has replaced; his comic mania is not deliciously out of control.
The main thing is that the two leads are still in place, and both are brilliant. Sheridan Smith is a definitive abused shop girl, Audrey, who suffers at the hands of the dentist but dreams of "Somewhere that's Green" (and not, poor girl, the insides of a triffid-like omnivore). What she does with that one song, on four layers of sentiment – suburban fantasy, regret, camp pathos, and innocent charm – is quite amazing.
And Paul Keating as the nerd turned champion botanist, Seymour, is even more delightful and impressive than before. Their big duet, "Suddenly Seymour," is a total gas and newly animated by the use of the fire escape: very Tennessee Williams - "Suddenly Last Seymour," perhaps. Barry James as the shop owner Mushnik (he was Seymour in the original London cast) is more frenetic than ever, but still not Jewish enough.
David Farley's design looks better in the proscenium, and the voracious Audrey II – fat green stem like a mouldy wrinkled penis, gaping shark's mouth, leaves proliferating like an untamed rhubarb bush, and coiled tentacles combining elements of octopus and jungle undergrowth – is a wonder in itself, a sexual predator with fangs for the mammary.
The plant is vocalised by Mike McShane in splendid black and bluesy style, and operated by Andy Heath who is pleasingly regurgitated for the curtain calls. Matthew White's bouncy production is hilariously launched by the finger-wagging, butt-banging girl group trio of Katie Kerr, Melitsa Nicola and Jenny Fitzpatrick.
The tart lyrics of Howard Ashman and raunchy music of Alan Menken peak in the central sequence of wittily parodistic rock numbers, but the show still suffers in its decline from send-up to satire as Seymour's fame grows in tandem with the plant's appetite and the cover of Life magazine beckons along with big Audrey's mandible: please sir, it seems to be saying, can I have some maw?
- Michael Coveney
Note: The following FOUR-STAR review dates from December 2006 and this production's original run at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
It's "Suddenly Seymour" all over again as this campy, witty, off-Broadway, off-the-wall 1983 musical (based on a Roger Corman horror movie) steams into the Menier for a jolly holiday season: how charmingly appropriate that the heroine endures an abusive relationship with a sado-masochistic dentist and all the principals are dead by the end, swallowed by a man-eating Venus flytrap in a flower shop on Skid Row.
There was always a problem with the musical: it peters out feebly at the end and all that camp knowingness can become wearing after… oh, about ten minutes? The latter problem is neatly sidestepped by director Matthew White, whose leading actors really do come up with sensationally thorough and affecting performances.
Audrey was originally played – in New York and London, and on film – by Ellen Greene as a sort of manically indomitable Fenella Fielding. The more subtly brilliant Sheridan Smith – of Two Pints of Lager, The Royle Family and Grown Ups television fame – plays a funny but deeply injured, possibly anorexic, waif whose delivery of "Somewhere That's Green" is the show's emotional heartbeat. Shame that the "green" turns out to be the deep throat of a botanical carnivore, not the trim lawn by a white picket fence.
Her bad boy nemesis, the dentist, is played by the equally brilliant Jasper Britton (who also chips in with a handful of hilariously observed small parts), avoiding the obvious "Elvis" act – as seen in the West Yorkshire Playhouse's revival four years ago – but still coolly gyrating as the motorbike-riding "leader of the plaque." The sight of him being asphyxiated inside his own gas mask (still singing, of course) while wielding a spanner-like tooth extractor lends the Christmas message of good will a whole new toothsome meaning; and justifies a lovely rhyme of molars with Holy Rollers.
The lyrics are matched by Disney composer Alan Mencken's punchy 1950s score of blues, rock and roll and even a witty tango for the shop owner (delightfully played by Barry James, if not Jewish enough) and his newly adopted son, the nerdy but nice shop assistant Seymour (perfectly cast Paul Keating).
There is a huge, unnecessarily cumbersome set by David Farley, but it does have to accommodate the sprouting Audrey II as a day at the flower shop becomes a night of the triffids. The greedy, gobbling voice is that of Mike McShane, whom we also see in his new slim-line manifestation every now and then.
Audrey has her "suddenly last Seymour" moment in the show's best song before the munching gets serious. Then it's on to the finale with the fabulous trio of denim-jacketed street girls – Chiffon, Crystal and Ronette (Katie Kerr, Melitsa Nicola and Jenny Fitzpatrick) – ending up where they started, out on the stoop, but with a new choric function as counterpart to the big green seasonal Brussels sprout in the window. No sign of a turkey, though: this one's a cracker.

Out of the blue
A woman was sitting on a bench at Captain Ds, Nov. 22, waiting for her food order when a man walked in, saw her, said son of a bitch and hit her quite forcefully in the head with a book and walked out of the restaurant, according to a Summerville Police incident report. Police located the individual who, it turned out, is a paranoid schizophrenic who has been off his medication. The 58-year-old man was charged with assault and released into the custody of his family.
Girls not impressed
Robbie Bernard Williams II, 19, of Summerville, was charged by Summerville Police Nov. 23, with discharging a firearm within town limits. According to Williams, he was at a large party and had been drinking. He told police he wanted to look like a bad a.. for a girl so he got his shotgun. Police said he had a strong odor of alcohol and trouble maintaining his balance. Another partygoer told police he had tried to get the shotgun from Williams, who was trying to impress a girl, but was unsuccessful and the gun had gone off.
Unusual weapon
David Anthony Regen, 30, of Summerville was charged by Dorchester County Sheriffs deputies with petit larceny Nov. 21. According to the victim, Regen stole his keys and then rammed him with a moped before fleeing. Deputies caught Regen, retrieved the keys and arrested him.

North Carolina, Raleigh/Durham/ChapelHill Action
Hows the pool scene in Raleigh/Durham area? Weekly tournys? Decent local pool halls? Action?
Action varies from time to time. Dont know of a lot of high dollar action. But picking up a 10-40 a set is pretty common.
Durham: "Jump Shots" on Hillborough RD. 13 tables "2 Diamonds"
A 25.00 membership will get you 6 months of only 5.00 daily fee from Sunday-Friday @ 6pm Several locals get up some good races and ring games.(where I hang out)
Somewhere Else billiards. on N Roxboro offers several tables, 1 lg snooker table, darts, food etc... Saturday handicap tournys.
Oscars Que and Grill, Weaver dairy rd in Chapel hill. Great atmosphere, Grill...and a Nice handicap tournament on Tuesdays @ 7:30 pm almost always over 30 people entering. Several strong local players.
Triangle billiards Durham Hwy 54, offers mixed drinks and pool tournys on Wednesdays at 7:30 Has nice Gold crown table with tight pockets.
Raleigh NC Brass Taps. Several tables. Thursday night tournaments. Usually draws some of the best players in the area...has open tournaments as well. great place. I've seen Johnny Archer, theres a couple of times.
Hope this helps Charles
We have several stops for the Fury Carolina amateur tour scheduled in the Raleigh area this year. PM me if you are interested, or check my web site for the tour schedule. We usually have some good competition up that way, nice pay outs and some pretty nice Calcutta pots as well.
Stops this year are at Shooters in Garner, Katie's in Raleigh, and Babineau's in Cary.
Tell the owner of the Triangle Billiards in Durham that u are interested in high dollar action.He can arrange it.u can always get action at Brass Tap & Billiards in Raleigh but it is not high dollar.U should not be surprised to find some action even in a high class & Yuppie place like Babineu`s in cary.yes,in Babineu`s!!! Cheers
vagabond /ccboard/images/graemlins/cool.gif
If you want some really good action, you should check out a place called "Somewhere Else" on Roxboro Rd. in Durham. It used to be called "48 Hours", which is what most people still know it as. It is my usual spot, I'm there almost every afternoon, just ask for Dane. On Saturday nights there's a ring-game with some of the best players in the state and you can find a few world-class players in there any day of the week. They have four old Brunswicks, three Diamonds (one of which has 760 cloth and is one of the best tables in the state IMO), and a 10' snooker table with the pockets tightened up, sometimes we play 6 ball on it with the full size balls and the pockets are only 1cm wider than the ball (makes for a loooooong game). The rate is $3.60/hour, and on Sunday and Monday it's $5 to play all day. It is a great poolhall, with some great players, but I will warn you that it is a bit of a redneck joint and don't show up on Friday unless you can put up with very loud karaoke while you play. PM me if you are in the area and need directions or a good game.

Dear Mr. Bear
My name is Nj£ll Andersen and I live in Iceland. I have written to you once before some years ago after I read rogue planet, the first star wars book I had ever read. I have to say I have not yet found your vivid discriptions of places and events in some of the other star wars books I have read since.
A book I recently finished reading is Darwins Radio....a possible t.v. series came to mind after I read it such was the need to continue following Kaye and Stella on their journy.
I'm not really much of a reading kind of person. I'm a mechanical engineer and most of the stuff I read has equations in it and can be quite boring. When I do read I have come to realize that a Bear book can't go wrong.
Best regards, Nj£ll

Many thanks! Thank goodness somebody's willing to work with equations... My head is better suited to biology and theoretical physics without the math, I'm afraid.

What was distinctive about Christian biography in late antiquity? In this book, Dr Williams examines a range of biographies of prominent Christians written in the fourth and fifth centuries, and suggests that they share a purpose and function which sets them apart from their non-Christian equivalents. This was an age in which the lives of saints first emerged as a literary phenomenon, and a broad perspective on this developing genre is complemented by close readings of more problematic works such as Eusebius of Caesarea's Life of Constantine and the Confessions of Augustine of Hippo. In including such idiosyncratic examples, the aim is to provide a definition of Christian biography which extends beyond mere hagiography, and which expresses an understanding of the world and the place of individuals within it. It was a world in which lives might be authored by Christians, but could be authorised only by God.Read more
- Book-length study of Christian biography (not simply the lives of the saints) in late antiquity
- Strongly interdisciplinary, touching on classical scholarship, the history of ideas, and theological issues

Denmark defender Simon Poulsen is haunted by the error which led to them conceding the first goal in the 2-0 FIFA World Cup™ defeat by the Netherlands.
Poulsen headed a clearance into the back of team-mate Daniel Agger and it bounced past goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen to break the deadlock in the Group E contest at Soccer City.
The AZ Alkmaar defender has been forgiven by his team-mates but that has not really helped him in the intervening period. "I have thought about it a thousand times," said Poulsen.
"Of course, I have tried to think about all the positive moments in the match, and I think the team and myself played a good first half. Yet the [own] goal keeps coming back. I have seen it on TV, and it's really unfortunate."
Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner did not take part in the team's training session today, remaining at the squad's hotel for physiotherapy. He was replaced after an hour of the first game with a groin injury.
