There are three political levels in Switzerland: federal state, cantons (26) and communes (around 2800). The competences are shared between the three levels, based on the principle of subsidiarity. At the federal level, the Waste Management Division in the FOEN (Federal Office for the Environment) is responsible for developing legislation and policies to ensure the recovery and environmentally sound disposal of waste, controlling the import and export of waste, coordinating the planning of waste disposal facilities. The cantons and municipalities are responsible for the implementation of the policy framework.
The basis for waste legislation in Switzerland is the Environment Protection Law, which regulates among others the field "waste" and "contaminated sites". This law is the legal basis for all federal ordinances and cantonal regulations. It contains the four following fundamental principles
A serie of ordinances on specific waste streams complement the principles and prescriptions in the law.

Each canton publishes its own waste regulation, on the basis of the federal legislation, especially the Federal Environmental Law. Most of the cantonal regulations give the responsibility of collection and disposal of municipal waste to the municipalities.
no information
There is no national waste plan on federal level. The Federal State has defined axes for the national waste management policy in three documents "Guidelines for waste management in Switzerland, 1986", "Waste management Strategy in Switzerland, 1992" and "Basis for the elaboration of a future federal policy, 2006". According to these documents, waste management policy in Switzerland have following goals:
Cantons have to draw up their own management plan, and review it periodically. They have to submit the plan to FOEN, for conformity assessment. The Technical Ordinance on Waste defines the content of waste management plans, with the following themes to be addressed:
Reducing the overall impact on the environment is the primary objective of technical or administrative measures in waste management. First of these measures is avoiding the forming of waste, as the less problematic waste is the one which has never been produced. In that prospect, recycling strategies (which presuppose the existence of wastes) have to be distinguished from waste prevention strategies (which include reusing strategies on the other hand).
No target for waste prevention.
The strategy for waste prevention is based on the following principles, which are to be found in the Environmental Protection law
- Polluter pay principle: the owner of the waste bears the cost of its disposal. This a strong incentive to reduce waste.
- Precautionary principle: environmental damages are to be limited at an early stage. Following that principle, the Federal Council may:
o prohibit the putting into circulation of products intended for once-only, short-term use if the benefits of such use do not justify the harm to the environment that they cause.
o prohibit the use of substances and organisms that considerably hamper disposal or the disposal of which may represent a danger to the environment.
o require manufacturers to avoid production waste where there is no known environmentally compatible process for its disposal.
It has to be added that waste has to be recycled if it causes less damages to the environment than elimination. In Switzerland more than 50% of municipal solid waste is recycled (used paper, glass, biodegradable waste, etc.). The rest of it is incinerated in waste incineration plants according to the state of art. The emissions of these incineration plants are submitted to strong limits (Ordinance on air protection, whose requirements are the same as the EU Waste Incineration Directive, with an additional requrement for NO2). The energy released by waste incineration is used for heating and electricity production: the total electricity production of all 28 Swiss incinerators meets the energy requirements of at least 250,000 households. Moreover, the heat thus generated can replace imports of around 215,000 tonnes of oil derivatives a year for heat generation purposes.
The combination of the polluter pay principle and the duty of incinerating or recycling waste in an environmentally sound way leads to waste prevention, because the high costs for correct incineration and recycle are to be borne by the owner of waste.

The technical Ordinance on Waste is the reference regulation for municipal waste. According to it, recyclable fractions of municipal waste – also including biodegradable fractions like paper, and compostable waste – have to be collected separatly and recovered. The landfilling of combustible waste is prohibited (also including biodegradable fractions).
In Switzerland, 880'000 tons of biodegradable waste are collected separatly. 740'000 tons are recycled in compost of good quality, whereas 140'000 tons is treated in anaerobic digestion plants to produce energy and fertilizer.

|Cantonal environment agencies are legally required to inspect composting and anaerobic digestion plants. As this task may be delegated by the authorities to third parties, there is a need for an expert partner capable of carrying out inspections in an independent and neutral manner. To meet this need, an Inspectorate Working Group (ARGE) for the Composting and Anaerobic Digestion Industry was established in the autumn of 2004 by three bodies operating in this area – the VKS (Association of Swiss Composting Plants; French/German), the IGA Kompostforum Schweiz (Agricultural Plants Interest Group, Swiss Compost Forum; German) and the Biogas Forum The ARGE offers to act as the cantonal authorities' outsourcing partner for the legally required inspections.

|no information
|For decades, used paper collection and disposal have been financed by municipalities through taxes and fees that are volume-unrelated; a practice that does not comply with the 'polluter pays principle'. Given that world market prices for recovered paper and cardboard fluctuate strongly, the cost accounting in this area is subject to unexpected and considerable change. These two reasons, combined with the cost pressure on municipalities' accounting, have induced city and municipal councils to find a new financing model in collaboration with the buyers of recovered paper. The result is a framework agreement, which, starting in January 2007, will guarantee every municipality the purchase of its collected paper as well as a minimum return thereon.

|The separate collection and composting of organic waste has become an indispensable element of ecological waste management. An essential condition for the reuse of organic waste is a guaranteed market for compost products. However, as shown by the current debate on concentrations of pollutants in recycled fertilizers, reservations still exist with regard to compost and digestates. In addition, the benefits of compost use are inadequately documented and there are still gaps in our knowledge. In the longer term, compost can only be successfully marketed if its use is shown to improve soils, with minimal, safe levels of pollutants. For this reason, two studies have been out by FOEN in cooperation with ofher federal offices, cantons and research institutes. In these studies, the two aspects - pollutants and benefits – have been investigated. The results have been published in the form of a scientific report and have been communicated to the consumers through an information campaign.
|The results of these exhaustive studies show that a great majority of composts and digestats in Switzerland are of high quality.
The overall results of the waste policy of the last 20 years are broadly positive. Swiss waste management can today be described as a well-oiled global system, from which the environmental emissions are only a fraction of what they were in the middle of the 1980s, with a recycling rate of 50% for municipal waste. The building of environmentally sound treatment capacities combined with the implementation of the polluter-pays principle lead quite surely to a less important increase of the amounts of waste.

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
Jack Craemer, interviewed by Marilyn L. Geary, March 26, 2004
Jack Craemer was born in Santa Ana, California in 1917. His father, Justus Craemer, was in the newspaper business and owned the Orange Daily News. Jack grew up in Southern California and later attended Stanford University.
In 1937, Justus Craemer, together with Roy A. Brown and William Hart, bought the San Rafael Daily Independent. In 1947, following a five-year stint in the army, Jack Craemer joined his father at the Independent.
In 1948 the San Rafael Independent merged with the Marin Journal to form the Marin Independent Journal. Jack became managing editor in 1949 and co-publisher in 1966. During this period, he closely followed the evolution of the County government and the controversy surrounding the selection of Frank Lloyd Wright to design a new County Civic Center. When on January 10, 1961, the Board of Supervisors voted 3 to 2 to halt work on the Civic Center, Jack Craemer developed a straw poll which he published in the I.J., to allow the citizens of Marin to express their opinion on the matter. When the results of the poll were tallied, the people of Marin had voted 8152 to 1225 against the work stoppage. Work resumed on the Civic Center on January 17, 1961.
In the following excerpts, Mr. Craemer tells about the creation of the straw poll which reversed the stop-work order and clarified, once and for all, that there was strong community support for Frank Lloyd Wright's design for the Civic Center.
Tell us about the straw poll you designed to gage how the people of Marin felt about the halt on construction of the Marin County Civic Center, ordered by Supervisor Fusselman on January 10, 1961.

Summit Entertainment photo by STEVE DIETLRafi Gavron, center, stars as 18-year-old Jason Matthews, whose drug-dealer friend strong-arms him into accepting a shipment of Ecstasy.in Snitch. Summit Entertainment photo by STEVE DIETLHarold Perrineau, left, and Susan Sarandon co-star in Snitch, which opens in theaters Friday and stars Dwayne Johnson. Reviewer's Rating: ★★★1/2 Callie Sutton| Special to thedvocate.com March 11, 2013; 3:45 p.m. Comments When I heard about "Snitch," the words drug dealers, guns and The Rock stuck in my mind. I went in with low expectations, assuming I would see plenty of action, shooting, muscles and corny one-liners. What I did not expect was a movie about the unbreakable relationship between father and son. The starring role is taken on by The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), who is known for films ranging from "The Scorpion King" -- an action packed movie with swords, monsters and rippling muscles -- to "The Tooth Fairy" -- a feel-good family movie in which he dons a tutu and wings. Johnson's acting is usually limited to muscle head with a sword or muscle head with jokes and kids. Honestly, I did not expect Johnson to step out of his comfort zone; but step out he did, and he did it with success. "Snitch" tells the story of Jason Collins (Rafi Gavron), a kid who makes a stupid choice by allowing his best friend to ship him a box of pills to "hold" for a few days. When his drug dealing friend gets caught, he betrays Jason, sending him to prison. Jason takes a stand and refuses to help the district attorney (Susan Sarandon) by betraying his own friends. His father, John Matthews (Johnson) is heartbroken and tries to convince the D.A. to release his son. They finally come to a compromise: John will help take down a local drug dealer and his son gets off with parole. Thus John, a regular guy, inexperienced with the crime scene, enlists the help of reformed drug dealer Daniel James (Jon Bernthal). Together they fight to take down the city's criminals with the sole purpose of saving Jason from doing hard time. Jason is an ordinary kid in a suburban neighborhood who makes a really bad decision. Unfortunately, with the mandatory minimum drug laws, offenders are expected to "snitch" on fellow drug dealers so they can earn a reduced sentence. "Snitch" focuses on the flaws in the law, showing that first-time offenders suffer harsh consequences so that the authorities can use them to catch bigger criminals. Social issues aside, the film truly shows what a father will do to keep his son safe. Every time John visits his son in prison, the agony that he faces is heart-wrenching. His resolve to save his son from the harsh prison life is almost physically visible in his face and body language. Johnson does a fabulous job in his portrayal as an uncompromising father. He does not pull out a bunch of guns and start shooting the bad guys. He even gets jumped and throttled by a bunch of thugs on a street corner. Johnson does not single-handedly beat up seven drug dealers with the People's Elbow, nor does he unrealistically jump from a moving vehicle to save a bus full of children. He simply plays the role of a father who would do anything for his child, no matter what the risk or cost. Overall, the movie has a strange feel-good aspect, though it is full of guns and violence. Even the drug lord refuses to put his son in danger when he is surrounded by police. Though the film tries to make the mandatory minimum laws the focus of the movie, it becomes the story of fathers and sons and how far a parent will go when his child's life is on the line. It actually hurts to watch at times, eliciting tears and dismay, but it is well worth the watch. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

|Military Entrance Processing Station Locations
The Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) plays a vital role in maintaining the nation's military might by ensuring that each new member of the Armed Forces: The Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard; meets the high mental, moral and medical standards required by the Department of Defense and the military services.
Every MEPS represents the state of the art in testing, examining and processing applicants for enlistment into the Armed Forces. Each provides "red-carpet" service to every applicant with personalized, efficient and professional attention.
Featuring modern facilities and equipment, today's modern MEPS bears little resemblance to the traditional image of the drab "Induction Station" known by previous generations of American soldiers, Marines, Sailors, airmen and Coast Guardsmen.

Kendall Jones - the 19 year old hunter who made headlines after she uploaded pictures on Facebook of her posing with exotic animals she killed in Africa is calling her actions "conservation".
Conservation by definition "is the act of preserving, guarding, or protecting." Jones' photos showed her posing with bagged zebras, hugging a dead leopard, and smiling beside elephants she had killed. One particular photo, in which she posed alongside an extremely endangered rhinoceros, had her critics especially steaming, but the Texas Tech cheerleader says it was alive and well. Does this sound like "conservation" to you?
Kendall has been citing statistics from the bias America's Sporting Heritage justifying her kills as "conservation". However, in Westport, where hunting as been banned since 1933, the deer population has been stable for years. In addition, Jones failed to make the connection that hunting season is linked to higher instances of deer/car collisions. The Erie Insurance Company noted that the number of deer/car collisions rose nearly five times on the first day of buck season and doe season. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration also stated that most deer/car collisions happen during hunting season.
Below, let me address some of the real facts associated with trophy hunting:
1. Trophy hunting can hurt the overall population of a species.
Though hunting groups often claim that a small amount of controlled trophy hunting does not harm populations, the opposite appears to be true. In the case of African lions, "Approximately 600 lions are killed every year on trophy hunts, including lions in populations that are already declining from other threats…The adult male lion is the most sought-after trophy by wealthy foreign hunters. And when an adult male lion is killed, the destabilization of that lion's pride can lead to more lion deaths as outside males compete to take over the pride," reports Jeff Flocken for National Geographic.
The recent Michigan wolf hunt has been filled with controversy - wolves were recently removed from the endangered species list, and soon after, hunted for trophies. The Toledo Blade reports, "People who understand conservation were appalled [about the hunt]. Michigan Technological University Professor John Vucetich, a conservation biologist, said, 'There is no scientific evidence wolves need to be hunted.' He added: 'It's not common sense to spend decades bringing the wolf back from the brink of extinction, only to begin killing the animal.'"
It seems that there would be less destructive ways to conserve a species, specifically, one that doesn't involve putting a price on their head.
2. Does it really bring in money to help the animals and local communities?
A study on the economic benefit behind lion hunting in Africa concluded, "The suggestion that trophy hunting plays a significant role in African economic development is misguided…Revenues constitute only a fraction of a percent of GDP and almost none of that ever reaches rural communities."
Dr. Naomi Rose agrees as stated on the HSUS blog, "Regarding the statement that trophy hunters do a lot for conservation, it's true that some portion of some hunters' fees goes to conservation in some countries, but it's rarely the major source of conservation funding. Usually middlemen—commercial outfitters—take the lion's share of sport hunting proceeds and local communities and conservation and management agencies get the dregs."
3. Trophy hunting is elitist.
Since trophy hunting for "big game" usually takes place in more remote locations in which people need to fly into, or charter transportation, it's not really an activity that's open to anyone. Not that having it open to more people would make it any better, but trophy hunting tends to be richer people going out for the thrill of the chase – under the guise of conservation. For example, the Trump brothers came under fire after photographs of them with animals they had killed in Africa surfaced. Mother Nature News reported that there are many other ways the brothers could have helped the people of Zimbabwe, rather than hunting and killing animals.
True conservation activities should involve the local community in a way that is sustainable, and trophy hunting does not accomplish this ideal.
4. Trophy hunting can be linked to poaching.
If trophy hunting were to ever hope to be known as "conservation," there would have to be extremely close monitoring by scientific and state bodies regarding the health and legality of the hunt.
While a certain amount of regulation does take place, it is not enough to prevent the possibility of trophy hunts being used as cover for poaching. According to a report "The Myth of Trophy Hunting" by Save African Animals, "Opening up even a limited legal trade creates a smokescreen for poachers which is almost impossible to police. Prior to 1986, when the whaling moratorium was introduced, legal quotas were widely used as cover for poaching, driving some species near to extinction. The same is happening with trophy hunting of endangered species."
The hunting of animals for trophies, especially large game animals, can lead to a slippery slope in which the animals are the victims. The report also includes more information on the many issues behind trophy hunting.
5. Financial incentives can hurt the population of a species.
Monitoring the population of a species takes a lot of resources for conservation groups and governments. It is possible that misinformation can lead to incorrect reporting of numbers to encourage hunting, or the financial benefits of continued hunting lead groups to inflate their reported numbers.
Dr. Naomi Rose, a marine mammal biologist, explains "…Sport hunters' fees put economic pressure on managers to inflate hunting quotas beyond sustainable levels…Despite what science and common sense said, the quotas were increased and the [population of] bears declined."
The infamous Canadian seal hunt is the largest slaughter of marine mammals per year, and the seals are used for their fur and other body parts. Sea Shepherd reports that, "There is no scientific justification for these quotas as the seal counting techniques used amount to little more than guesswork. Further, Canadian author and naturalist…Farley Mowat, estimates that for every seal landed, another is shot and lost under the ice, not to be included in the count. According to the Canadian government, the hunt will not harm seal populations, however, the facts dispute their unfounded claim."

There is hope in the horizon regarding a comeback for Detroit. What was once the richest city in the United States if fighting to regain its shine, with the help of new elected officials and diversity.
As the first Hispanic council member in Detroit, Raquel Castañeda-Lopez not only has supported immigrants by helping launch the Immigration Task Force in Detroit. She is now working hard on behalf of the Motor City itself.
The month of April marked the kick off of the new monthly District 6 Coalition meetings, led by Councilmember Castañeda-Lopez (D-6), where officials and volunteers will share information and create a collective vision for the renovation and clean up of the Detroit District.
The 2014 Motor City Makeover for District 6 will take place on Saturday, May 17th, at the Patton Recreation Center, with the participation of dozens of volunteers from all over Metro Detroit – but more are needed.
"Every neighborhood has a future, and that future begins with volunteers like you. Thank you", is Mayor Mike Duggan´s message on the City of Detroit official website.
During Detroit Partnership Day in March this year, hundreds of University of Michigan students came to Detroit to join forces with Councilwoman Castañeda-López and other elected officials in Detroit to help clean up the Brightmoor Community, the Belle Isle Conservancy, and to work on the development of The Heidelberg Project, the open-air art environment in the heart of an urban community on Detroit's East Side recognized around the world as a demonstration of the power of creativity to transform lives., among others.
Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr is also taking important stepse to save the Motor City. In 2013 he announced that Detroit had decided to privatize residential trash disposal and waste and yard management, and picked two companies to do it. This decision will save the city $6 million a year.
Beginning in May 2014, two companies will be in charge of collecting trash, bulk items, yard waste, and of recycling services for Detroit residents. There are also plans to privatize trash pickup, which will save the city approximately $50 million per year.
The Motor City if fighting hard for its comeback, but it needs all the help it can get to turn back years of devastation and create a Detroit where people enjoy living again.
"Working together we can make our communities cleaner and safer, so come out to support each other. We hope to see you!" says the invitation to the District 6 Coalition meeting.

When Jo-Anna of A Pretty Life in the Suburbs is given a challenge, she rises to it. For instance, when challenged by a magazine to upcycle an egg carton, she not only made something out of it, she electrified it!
For this project, Jo-Anna actually collected nine egg cartons. She cut out the cups that hold each egg, and sprayed them down with blue spray paint. She made a cylindar-shaped form out of chicken wire, and attached the former egg cups to the form. Once they were attached, she stuffed a string of small white lights into the chicken wire form, and poked each light through the center of each egg cup. When the lights are on, it gives the lovely effect of a glowing bouquet of flowers!
Get all the details on this cool upcycling project by visiting A Pretty Life in the Suburbs.

Grandma's Cookbook
Baked Goods and Desserts
Colin Gallagher
After she died, my grandmother's cookbook, a culinary Book of Kells, disappeared. Despite extensive searching and pleading, it appears to be lost forever. In this book, I have attempted to resurrect Grandma's cookbook from xeroxed pages my cousin made some time ago and from individual recipes my mother or I had copied. This book is missing the smudges, cross outs and other marks that give the original such charm, but I have tried to preserve as much character as possible.

Read Movie Reviews about Manners of Dying Write a Movie Review for Manners of Dying
Release Date: 2004-10-31 (Montreal)
Genre: Drama,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 44min
Kevin Barlow will die on schedule and according to regulations. Harry Parlington, director of the Cantos execution facility, intends to make sure of it. However Barlow chooses to go, be it calmly or fighting violently to the end, Parlington feels confident that he and his team can deal with the situation. Father Preston is on hand to provide spiritual guidance, if needed. Doctor Lowe can provide pills to relieve the tension. The tie-down crew, all veterans of many executions, work swiftly and efficiently. All angles appear to be covered, until Parlington discovers there are many more angles to Kevin Barlow than he had first imagined. When Barlow makes a baffling and unusual final request, a strange duel ensues between the condemned man and the prison director. In this struggle, there can be no winner or loser, only two men faced with doubts and difficult choices to make. The iron grip Parlington usually maintains on the execution procedure begins to slip as the final hours become a maze of manners of dying.

Your Highness Movie Reviews
User reviews on Your Highness
A stoner comedy that should not be called a comedy because it is not funny whatsoever. It is full of foul language that is supposed to be funny I guess and dumb fart and ass jokes that can only crack up a five year old. I can firmly say that it is the worst film i have seen this year. It was not funny, not entertaining, incredibly stupid and awfully boring. It was sad to watch Natalie Portman in this film because she is a good actress and she should not be in a trash like this. Overall, stay away from this movie and tell others that it is horrible.
A few funny parts. A few cool special effects. Natalie Portman Hot, not to mention the only good actor. From what I heard, they used a body double in the scene you see a glimpse of her in a thong. Overall, this movie sucked. I should have waited for it to come out on DVD...
Never in all my years of movie-going have I contemplated standing up and walking out of the theater more times in one film than I did during Universal Pictures' YOUR HIGHNESS, and believe me I would have, had I not brought a date.
Painful to watch is truly putting it mildly. HIGHNESS is categorically deplorable, from the acting to the writing to the "special" effects, which were nothing short of atrocious. If director David Gordon Green was trying to best the horrific flop LEONARD PART 6 (1987) for the coveted title of Worst Movie EVER, he came frighteningly close.
James Franco's portrayal of the questing Prince Fabious was so completely flat and labored that one might think twice about ever paying to see him in another film, ever. Franco's performance however was only slightly worse than that of Steven McBride, portraying Fabious' little brother Prince Thadeous, whose ghastly delivery will literally make you squirm uncomfortably in your seat. Not even the Oscar-winning Natalie Portman could save this sinking ship—clearly detached in her role as Isabel the sexy sword-wielding avenger, Portman appears to struggle seeming more like an actress in a hurry to get off the set than a viable character within the story.
HIGHNESS is so infuriatingly disappointing that it almost seems as though director Green went out of his way to purposely ruin every scene having any potential for greatness, breaking apart the timing and soiling every moment just before it has a chance to shine.
Minutes into the film one begins to wonder if being on drugs might make the movie funnier, but anyone who has ever used them soon learns that drugs would not have made a bit of difference.
YOUR HIGHNESS is simply wretched from beginning to end, with absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. At its most welcome end, I turned to my date and offered her two decidedly solemn words: "I'm sorry."
The previews are very misleading. Definitely not worth seeing. Every other word is F*%$%! and adds nothing to the movie, actually detracted from the story line. It could have been a funny movie. I was very disappointed that this theater showed this movie. We stayed about half way through the movie thinking it would get better, but it didn't. As we left I spoke to the manage about the movie and we were not the only ones to complain about the movie. Next time I'll be sure to check others reviews before I go to the movies.
It's hard to make fun of a genre that makes fun of itself on a regular basis. Danny McBride can't really do a British accent, but neither can Kevin Costner, and Costner was trying to play it straight. The fairytale/medival fantasy just isn't that easy to spoof anymore, as proved by Your Highness, a stoner fantasy from McBride and David Gordon Green, director of Pineapple Express. McBride plays (what else?) a slacker prince whose brother is engaged to be married. When the bride to be is taken by an evil wizard, the brothers go off on a quest to find her. They are joined by Natalie Portman, who that even a best actress winner can look awesome in a bikini, kick a little butt and be funnier than the guys. And that's the problem with Your Highness: it's just not that funny. McBride has made some incredibly funny stuff, like Eastbound and Down. But here, the jokes fall flat. A Knight's Tale, which came out 10 years ago, already added some modern spice to the knight's genre. In this film, their idea of modern is dropping f-bombs into olden dialogue. These guys have been funny before, but this movie does not carry on that tradition.
This is definitely a stoner movie and since I was one a long time ago I can understand it and even appreciate it. I think the jokes were totally immature and pretty gross but they did make me laugh so can not complain. The plot of the film is not the smartest or the most original one but i did not expect it to be. Danny McBride is super funny and it was interesting to hear him talk in a British accent. James Franco was funny as well and he did have a good chemistry with his co-star. Natalie Portman did seem a little out of place at first but in the end she became really funny. Overall, I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters but it would be fun to see it at home with your friends.
An awesome film and I recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film was super funny and I liked that it was set as a fairytale. The film obviously had a very big budget and it was packed with awesome action and really funny situations and jokes. The special effects in the film were really good as well and overall technically the film was perfect. James Franco and Danny McBride are really funny together and have a great chemistry. Leezar, played by Justin Theroux was the funniest character in the film and he made me crack up every time. Natalie Portman was great as well and think she is very funny. I loved this film.
The film was absolutely disgusting and I wish I have not seen it and wasted my time and money. The film was trying to be original but it was not and the jokes were absolutely disgusting and I was offended by most of them. I love Danny McBride and i think he is hilarious, i love his show "Eastbound and Down" and I did like him in this film, he was in his element. However, Natalie Portman was not in her element and I did not like her in this film at all. I think an actress like Natalie should stick to dramas, I do not think she is not naturally funny. Overall, i did not like this film.

Microsoft launches its Windows Phone 8 operating system
Eyes up Android and IOS
SOFTWARE HOUSE Microsoft launched its Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system today.
The INQUIRER is at Microsoft's London launch event where the firm announced the arrival of its Windows Phone 8 operating system, which it claims will offer consumers "a much greater choice in hardware" and delivers some exciting new features.
Chief amongst these new features is a more customisable user interface enabling Windows Phone 8 users to resize Microsoft's quirky Live Tiles to make the experience more personal. The updated mobile operating system also brings support for multi-core processors and higher-resolution screens, with Windows Phone 8 supporting WXGA at 1280x768 and HD 720p at 1280x720.
Thankfully, Microsoft is promising that apps will scale up nicely on these high resolution displays, saying, "All existing Windows Phone 7 apps will run great with no modification on these new resolutions.
"The resolution change is invisible to developers."
That's not all Windows Phone 8 has got going for it. Microsoft has also been keen to talk up the operating system's new Internet Explorer 10 web browser, Nokia Mapping service, baked-in NFC support and Skype video calling.
It's perfect for business users too, Microsoft boasts, as it arrives with encryption and secure boot, LOB App deployment, device management and familiar office apps.
The first Windows Phone 8 devices are set to tip up in the UK early next month, including the flagship HTC Windows Phone 8X and 8S and Nokia's Lumia 920 and 820 smartphones.

OFF-ROAD VEHICLE enthusiasts ride the Ottawa East Connector Trail between Iron River and Houghton, through parts of the Ottawa National Forest, during an appreciation tour hosted by MI-TRALE on Aug. 31.
To celebrate the successful opening of a new 70-mile Ottawa East Connector Trail, Michigan Trails and Recreation Alliance of Land and the Environment recently hosted an appreciation luncheon and tour.
Officials from the Ottawa National Forest, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, JR Richardson, chairman of the Michigan Natural Resources Commission, and Ontonagon County Board Commissioner Dennis O'Brien attended, MI-TRALE communications coordinator Donna Wolf said.
The trail opened on Aug. 31 stretches from the Iron River trailhead in the south to the Houghton trailhead in the north, Wolf said.
ONF provided the land for the trail to MI-TRALE, and MDNR gave the trail designated status so it would be funded through the state for maintenance, Wolf said.
"MI-TRALE is lucky to have such good working relationships with the ONF and the MDNR," Wolf said. "Without their hard work and cooperation, the new EC trail would not be available to visitors that travel on the trail system."
In attendance for the appreciation tour from the ONF were Supervisor Tony Scardina, along with Steve Drake, Mike Kocher, Josh Lopac and Jeff Mell. In attendance from the MDNR were Western District Upper Peninsula Supervisor Bill Doan, along with Rob Katona and Ron Yesney.
Representing MI-TRALE were officers Don Helsel, president; Jim Altenburg, vice president; Linda Schulz, secretary; Dave Bishop, treasurer; directors Khris Kennedy and Kim Sims; trail manager Mike Schulz, Wolf and members Sue Helsel and Brenda Kennedy.
"The day began a little damp and drizzly, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of those present. The tour departed from FR 1460. The fall colors, bright and shiny from the rain, were just starting to show off," Wolf said.
Schulz led the 27-mile tour through a mixture of hard and softwood forest using logging, forest and county roads to show the development and improvements made to the trail. The tour ended with an appreciation luncheon for all participants at the Lower Dam area.
Guests were treated to a meal of seasoned, grilled loin pork chops, baked potatoes and special sautéed fresh green beans, seated at tables and chairs, under a large tent. "They were expecting hot dogs and potato chips," Wolf said, "but we thought we could do better than that."
Secretary Schulz said, "It was so nice that the sun came out and everyone was able to relax and discuss all that they had seen on the tour. We were delighted to hear so many positive comments about the EC Trail. It was very gratifying to have everyone's hard work be so validated."

Buffalo Wild Wings Menu
Buffalo Wild Wings are perfect for the Superbowl – they are easy to make and will please all of your guests.
Below is a simplified version of the famous Buffalo Chicken Wings – which means that it is not as spicy as other traditional recipes and you are not obliged to have a special sauce.
However we do advice that you do serve the Buffalo Chicken Wings with some raw vegetables.
Here are the ingredients needed to serve 6 people:
- 24 chicken wings
- Salt & pepper
- 1 liter of vegetable oil
- 1 / 4 cup * Butter or margarine plant
- 1 / 2 cup ketchup "hot" (or normal ketchup)
- A few drops of Tabasco
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 4 carrots cut into sticks
- 4 stalks celery cut into sticks
- 1 small bottle of blue cheese sauce or mayonnaise mix with some crushed Roquefort
Remove the tips of chicken wings with a sharp knife. Separate each wing into two parts by cutting at the joint, add salt and pepper.
Heat oil to 350°F in a deep fryer and dip twelve of the chicken wings. Fry for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken wings are golden brown and crispy. Drain thoroughly using paper towels.
Repeat with the remaining twelve wings.
Melt the butter over medium-high heat in small saucepan. Pour ketchup, Tabasco and vinegar. Mix and bring to a boil. Remove saucepan from heat.
Arrange the fried chicken wings in a large bowl. Pour the sauce and mix well until the chicken wings is fully coated with sauce. Let cool.
Arrange celery sticks and carrots (you can add bell peppers or any other veggies that you choose) in a serving dish; accompanied with blue cheese sauce aside. Serve with warm chicken wings.
Serve with the wings with wine or beer.
Happy Super Bowl 2011.

"Who is Superwoman?" - Part 5: "Daughters of Krypton"
Writer: Sterling Gates
Penciller: Fernando Dagnino
Inker: Raul Fernandez
Reviewed by: Jeffrey Bridges
Kara battles Lucy, Lucy confesses to everything she's done and says she's going to blame it on Kara. They fight, Reactron arrives and assists Lucy.
Lana is discharged from the hospital, and Jimmy and Cat are suspicious of her leaving so soon.
Inspector Henderson, somehow not dead, arrives and shoots Reactron in the head, which somehow only makes him fall unconscious. When he falls he grabs Superwoman and somehow shorts out part of her suit. Kara beats her up and rips the S off her chest, saying she doesn't deserve to wear it. By ripping the suit somehow Superwoman contorts and explodes.
Kara then wonders if she's killed Lucy.
Story - 2: Knowing that answers should be coming next issue (the title for the next issue is "Questions and Answers, Epilogues and Homecomings") is nice, but it doesn't really help matters.
Everything just seems entirely too convenient here. There's several deus ex machinas that are supposed to make you go "whoa!" and "cool!", and they do... but then, if you spare even a second for critical thought, make you stop and add "but that doesn't make sense".
Reactron shows up out of the blue to do... nothing of any value to the story. And then... dead Henderson is not dead and shows up out of the blue to do... nothing of any value to the story. All he does is shoot Reactron (With a bullet. In the head. And BLOOD SPURTS OUT... and he's UNCONSCIOUS?!), but Reactron didn't need to be there anyway.
It was a dues ex resolution to a conflict that didn't need to be there. Oh no, he has gold kryptonite, Kara is powerless for 15 seconds! I am so sick of that already. So what? What did that add? All it did was prolong the fight to have an arbitrarily longer fight.
The only thing of consequence that happened in this entire issue is that Lucy Lane is now dead (or is she?). That's it. Everything else was just designed to draw that out and make it last 22 pages.
Art - 3: The fight looked good, but everything else looks a bit less so.
Cover Art - 2: Kara again looks like she's nine, and Superwoman, who's supposed to be quite a bit older than Kara, looks all of 10. What is this? These characters are not children!
It's just WEIRD how young they keep looking on the covers. I don't get it. They look like two girls fighting over a swing on the playground.

Drawn in Light is a visual documentation of artist Jo Berry's 'Hijacking Natural Systems', an arts and science project devised in collaboration with Dr Nick Holliday and Tim Self of the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Nottingham Medical School.
The project, funded by The Wellcome Trust and Arts Council England, involved Jo working in the University laboratories a day a week for six months on a research project which resulted in a published academic poster. The imagery produced during the research project then formed the basis of a new body of work for exhibition including digital drawings, animations and laser cut illuminated artworks.
Photographer and filmmaker Andrew Robinson was commissioned to creatively document the development of the project and the resulting artworks.
In this book Andrew brings together a range of visual material from the project including original scientific imagery; Jo's drawings, animation stills and illuminated artworks; and his own photography and film work, some of which has been specially produced for this publication.
(This is the updated version of the book including images from the exhibition)
Andrew Robinson is a photographer and filmmaker whose practice explores identity, community and place and often utilises participatory engagement as a key element. Andrew holds a post as Senior Lecturer in Photography at Sheffield Hallam University.

For a third consecutive year, the elementary school aged children at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church completed a very special offering project. The confirmation of that special project arrived today.
What project was that?
That very special project was to buy a goat and two chickens for a family in Africa. The animals were purchased today through World Vision. The cost of a goat and two chickens is $100, and it is still the best deal. The time frame was by no coincidence the season of Lent. The children could help lift the yoke of oppression—in this case the oppression of extreme poverty—by their gift.
This special project for these very young children differed from others in several ways. First, the children were asked to earn the money themselves—not to pester mom and dad or grandma and grandpa for the cash.
Parents were asked to provide jobs for these children that ranged in age from just old enough to walk to the front of the church for the children's time to fifth graders. Taking out the trash, clearing the table, or rotating the tires on the car were suggested tasks. The idea driving this approach was that children would earn their money and then decide whether to give it to help a family with almost nothing or to keep it.
This sort of giving is hard to learn as an adult but essential to living the abundant life that God desires for us.
Most of the children were excited about helping a family that they didn't know that lived on the other side of the world. The corollary to deciding what to do with money that one has earned also trains young people in understanding what it is to be rich towards God, if they choose to make the offering that is.
Most of the children couldn't wait to make their offering. Some didn't wait. As soon as they saw the special offering container made just for this Goat and 2 Chickens offering, they were running to it and making their offering. This is what you call joy in the offering.
By Easter Sunday the children had raised $178. This enabled the children to purchase a goat and two chickens, ducks, and help with clean water. In genuine Presbyterian tradition, the children decided what to buy with the extra $78 by committee.
Most of the ministries of this congregation reach out a few miles into the community. This special project reached the other side of the world.
These children are learning what it is to be God's love in action.
