I was disappointed that we only received a $75 credit after experiencing a 21 day loss of use of one of our be Read Moredrooms (from no fault of our own) and pure negligence of the 24 hour on-call emergency phone. Really did not want to have to negotiate a settlement or contact renters' insurance. Christine did come and visit, but I was not here and she called at an inconvenient time while I was at work to discuss how Citywalk would compensate. At first she told my mom $50. Then after talking to me at work she said $75. I really don't feel that was fair compensation for the grief, hardship and inconvenience this caused my household and how much this impacted our health and living situation. This was huge to me and my mom, especially after experiencing all of the other events (no fault of Citywalk). I think the 115th Street gate should be secured or non-existant to deter this kind of activity from people from accessing this unit and potentially others along 115th street. Joe Baker has been awesome, he has offered other units when available, but my mom has limitations of climbing stairs and basically we can't afford the move itself. We love the separate 2 bed 2 bth layout for privacy, but have discussed the possiblity of moving if rent increases.

Front entrance of building is always littered with garbage and for the past two weeks the hallway and stairway Read More was in fact covered with cat litter. Took it upon ourselves to vacuum the area in front of our apartment. The recycling bins are always overflowing and often spills over to ground in front of my parking space. Unsatisfied with the communication and handling of the cyber-intrusion . Neighbors are quiet.

Rancho la Azufrosa, Aldama, Tamaulipas, Mexico
Reporting from Zacaton Basecamp
The advance DEPTHX team arrived at Rancho La Azufrosa last night after an eventful set of days crossing the border. It is difficult to explain all of the details from our plight, but let me just say that it deserves a write-up ofsome sort.
We left Stone Aerospace in Del Valle, Texas Thursday afternoon, arriving at our hotel in Harlingen after midnight. Awaking the next morning, we crossed the Rio Bravo at the Los Indios crossing, one that I always try to cross since it is out of any urban area. The customs agents were very nice there, but since it is a satellite office, they said we needed to cross in Matamoros. We stayed at Los Indios for about 5 hours calling back and forth to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, trying to convince the Mexican officials to let us pass (we even set up our mobile satellite internet at the customs area!), but finally about 12:30 it was determined that we must turn around and go to Matamoros. One hitch.....we had to now go back through U.S customs towing a trailer with a submersible robot on it!
We spent 2.5 hours going through the commercial import line (with all the big trucks), and were lined up for a full-vehicle x-ray scan. After some convincing that this could fry all the electronics and ruin the project, the U.S. customs agents agreed to just manually scan to see if we had any radioactive material. Since we didn't, they let us pass back into the U.S. Back where we started from in the morning, we regrouped in the parking lot of the hotel, printing out equipment invoices emailed from the U.S. Embassy, drafting a manifest list, and re-wrapping the bot frame in a tarp. By 4:00 PM we were on the road to Brownsville, destination Matamoros.
While approaching the bridge, we were met by a swarm of U.S. customs and "ICE" (I think it stands for International Commerce Enforcement) agents. Apparently, there are export restrictions on some stuff, and they were quite confused as to how to handle our interesting caravan. After sitting parked, poised to cross into Mexico, our "friendly" U.S. customs agents (in the sake of National Security, I'm sure) decided it was necessary to "detain the commodity" until they could run this up the chain of infinite bureaucracy. This meant it was locked up in holding yard Friday night. We had no idea how long this would take, and holed up in a nearby Best Western pondering our fate.
Saturday morning....Our options limited, I began to receive phone calls from the customs agent working our case. I have to say this guy was great. He went the extra mile to get us going again. After contacting our science liaison at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, he decided that it would be OK to let us go with "the commodity" and continue onto Mexico. We hooked back onto the trailer and crossed the Rio Bravo for the second time around noon on Saturday. I never felt so relieved to be in the hands of Mexican bureaucracy instead of the U.S.
Crossing through Mexican customs was very straight forward. A couple of hours getting forms filled out and documents stamped and we were heading south through the streets of Matamoros by 3:00 PM. The rest of the drive was quite uneventful, except for the fact that I was pulling a 8-foot wide trailer on roads that were 8 feet, 2 inches in each lane with radical drop-offs on the shoulders. I can attest to the "white-nuckle syndrome."
We finally arrived at Azufrosa around 8:30, and began the ominous task of unpacking. The internet seems to be working well, although not at light speed. It's better than nothing at all. I'm sitting in the palapa drinking coffee writing this email, it's pretty cool.

Having successfully arrived intact at Rancho la Azufrosa (site of Cenote Zacaton) and greeting ranch owner Alejandro Davila, we began setting up basecamp in ernest today for Zacaton Mission 1. This was very much a "MacGyver" day, with Marcus Gary showing an extraordinary collection of eclectic skills (welding, burning, electrical contracting) that go well beyond the experience of the average hydrogeology PhD student.
Marcus, who is in charge of site logistics in addition to managing the environmental sensor array for DEPTHX, arranged for the transport of a 12 m seagoing shipping container to the ranch to serve as the field lab. First order of business, however, was the construction of a "bot garage" for DEPTHX to protect it and the tech crew during assembly -- the bot was transported to the site in pieces to avoid shock loading of sensitive electronics.
The day was mainly spent welding framing poles in place for the garage, stretching aircraft cable for tarp suspension, and running electrical lines into the shipping container for the lab benches. By nightfall we had fluorescent lighting inboard and bench power. Tomorrow begins the formal process of painstakingly re-assembling the bot.

Marcus and Robin Gary left for Austin today - Robin returning to her job at USGS and Marcus to fetch an additional load of supplies for basecamp. This left us with a skeleton crew of John Kerr and myself to work the finer issues of setting up the field lab and re-assembling the bot until further reinforcements arrive.
First order of business was to uncrate the bot. At 1.5 metric tons DEPTHX is an industrial strength machine (rated to 1,000 m ocean depth), but this also means it's not something you toss about by hand. Alejandro Davila, the owner of Rancho la Azufrosa, kindly made arrangements with a local Tampico-based crane company to ship a mobile handler to the site. We then began unloading all the electronics modules into the field lab for individual checkout.
Above: about half of the pressure vessels that go inside DEPTHX, at the field lab.
Although it seems like a simple process, DEPTHX has over 500 electrical connections, all of which run through scores of dis-connectable pressure rated cables... and each of those, along with the housing closures, have hundreds of orings, which are lubricated and therefore attract dust... of which there is plenty at Rancho la Azufrosa. So every make-and-break of a cable connection or housing lid means replacing orings, re-lubing, and sealing before any contamination can enter.
Today we managed to load the variable buoyancy engine (VBE) ballast as well as the two pressure housings for the redundant lithium-ion power supplies into the bot frame. We also charged up the VBE pressure drive tanks (5,000 psi carbon-epoxy construction) and mounted those.
The weather has been cooperative, partially sunny, a bit windy, and 70F. The only point of serious concern today was that while totally focused on our work we began hearing strange "clacking" noises outside the lab trailer and emerged to find a large herd of goats inspecting the bot at close range... in fact they had it surrounded and were licking the sonar transducers. Fortuitously we caught them before they got the idea to chew on the cables. New line item on the pre-flight checklist: remove goats from bot vicinity.

The scenario will sound immediately familiar to anyone who's ever tried to find a cheap apartment in a big city. You scour the classifieds, call in favors from friends and scan Craigslist every 15 minutes.
Ultimately, however, you end up in a neighborhood you've never heard of, in a building whose best days were decades ago, in an apartment that has … well, let's call them quirks. Funny noises. Plumbing problems. Stuff like that.
For most of us, the anxiety stops there. We either deal with it, complain until the super does something, or move out and look for another place. It's urban living. What are you gonna do?
For single mom Dahlia, however — Jennifer Connelly's character in the upcoming Japanese-horror remake "Dark Water" — such ordinary options fly out the cracked tenement windows when she and her daughter move into a new apartment and, as the title suggests, end up confronting not only weirdo neighbors and everyday tenant-landlord issues, but also buckets, torrents and waterfalls of murky aitch-two-oh. Welcome to Hollywood's latest take on the haunted house: the apartment that doubles as a bone-chillingly creepy indoor pond.
For Connelly, an actress who has never shied away from emotionally intense roles (in "Waking the Dead," "House of Sand and Fog," "Requiem for a Dream" and others), the appeal of doing a horror movie has as much to do with tapping into and evoking primal emotions as it does with working from a smart script with a subtle director and strong cast.
"It's really strange," she said with a bemused grin when asked what it is about fear that compels people to pay money to sit in the dark and have the bejesus scared out of them. "It has something to do with being powerless and not in control, I suppose. It's almost like regressing to a sort of childhood state — and yet when it's all over, you can still walk out, and you're still the grownup. The sun still comes out. Everything's OK and it was all just make-believe."
She continued after a brief pause, again grinning — but this time, it seems, grinning mostly at herself.
"Maybe," she said, qualifying everything she'd said just a moment before. "I'm not a shrink."
John C. Reilly, who plays the apartment building's hulking, way-too-friendly janitor, finds the fear factor in movies something that can be attributed to both deep human needs and current affairs.
"I suppose it's the same reason people want to laugh or cry," he said of fright's allure. "It's just one of those things that people want to experience — some emotional jolt. It's part of the contract with emotional entertainment, and I think that right now it's a little bit safer to go into a movie theater and know you're going to be scared than to watch the news, waiting for the next terrifying real thing that comes along. I don't know — but man, scary movies are really big right now, aren't they?"
As for any concerns that might have arisen among the cast and crew upon embarking on a remake — director Hideo Nakata's 2002 original, "Honogurai Mizu No Soko Kara," is an acknowledged horror classic — they were quickly washed away by the formidable pairing of director Walter Salles ("The Motorcycle Diaries") and screenwriter Rafael Yglesias ("Fearless," "From Hell").
"I think [remakes] can sometimes really be bastardized," Connelly admitted. "You can take something that's great and sort of make a worse version of it. But I felt confident that Walter Salles wasn't going to do that with this film, because everyone who got involved really liked the original. We're all really respectful of it. And he and Rafael didn't just translate it; they sort of adapted it for a Western audience. There's more character development. You have more fleshed-out characters — John C. Reilly's character, and Tim Roth [as Dahlia's lawyer]. You also get more of Dahlia's history with her own mother, and more of an abstract kind of ghost story."
For his part, Roth — a veteran stage actor who has appeared in more than 40 films, in roles ranging from a crazed skinhead to a Shakespearean clown — appreciates the technique and the commitment involved in bringing authentic horror to the screen. But when it comes right down to it, as so many actors will attest, there's another genre that never fails to terrify even those who have the guts to attempt it.
"Comedy is the hardest thing to do," he said. "If you're doing it in front of an audience, you find out pretty fast if you're funny or not. But if you're doing it on film, the fact that the crew or director may be laughing doesn't mean a thing. It's one of the scariest things because you don't know, you really don't know, if you're funny or not."
For Jennifer Connelly, the difference between comedy and drama — while definitely real — pales beside what actors and actresses can both convey and learn while working with colleagues and material as solid as those she found in "Dark Water."
"I'm interested in helping to tell these stories because I find them interesting or thought-provoking or they have an emotional impact on me," she said. "I feel passionate about being involved in their telling. And of course you learn things about yourself in the telling as well. Sometimes it happens after the fact, when you realize what you needed to go through — and that sort of thing, in retrospect, dictates our taste, I suppose. It's like when your body needs something: all of the sudden, for some reason, you just need to have sugar."
Sugar. Water. Good old-fashioned horror. Whatever works, Jennifer. Whatever works.

With the new season of Game of Thrones about to premiere on HBO, George R.R Martin picked the perfect moment to release a new, free chapter from his upcoming novel, "The Winds of Winter." The chapter is titled "Mercy" and can be found at his website.
It's the second time Martin has released a chapter from the work in progress. The first released chapter, "Arianne," was taken down when "Mercy" was uploaded.
According to Martin, "The new chapter is actually an old chapter. But no, it's not one I've published or posted before, and I don't even think I've read it at a con (could be wrong there, I've done readings at so many cons, it all tends to blur together). So it's new in that it is material that no one but my editors (well, and Parris, and David and Dan, and a few others) have ever seen before, but it's old in that it was written a long time ago, predating any of the samples that you have seen."
"The Winds of Winter" is the sixth book in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. It has yet to receive an official release date, although the speculation is the fall of 2015. Martin is still writing the tome from his New Mexico lair.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO on April 6 with the latest from the Westeros clan.

Lesueur (1821) erected a family that he called Loligoidea (afterwards emended to Loliginidae, see Vecchione et al., 1998) to fit the "Loligos" (Leachia, Loligo and Onykia) into Cuvier's "natural order". He stated (Lesueur, 1821:88)--
"It is of little consequence what characters we select for the distribution of these animals into families and genera, if our arrangement is the most convenient, and exhibits, as near as possible, a graded transition from one to the other."
A consequence of the age of this family, and its early inclusion of all squids, is that many taxa, both correctly and incorrectly described, have been considered loliginids at one time or another. A summary of this history is found here. Therefore, taxonomic nomenclature in the squid literature can be very confusing.
A thorough nomenclatural review of the family can be found in Sweeney and Vecchione (1998).
Our present classification of the Loliginidae comes from a consensus report by the world's experts on he systematics of this family that was published in the Phuket Marine Biological Center Research Bulletin, No. 66, 2005. A copy of this paper can be found here.
A list of all nominal genera and species in the Loliginidae can be found here. The list includes the current status and type species of all genera, and the current status, type repository and type locality of all species and all pertinent references.

Fans of Radisson Seven Seas Cruises' much-beloved Paul Gauguin, which cruises French Polynesia year-round, will be heartened to know that the ship will now be managed by the cruise line through 2006. The 18,800-ton, 320-passenger ship will continue sailing its Tahiti-based cruises until then.
That contradicts an announcement made in September that RSSC would relinquish the ship as of early January 2006. That's because the cruise line, which has managed Paul Gauguin's onboard operations since its launch in 1997 (but had never owned the ship), was told by the vessel's owners that it had been sold to two travel operators. Grand Circle Corporation and Vantage Deluxe World Travel had planned to rename Paul Gauguin and deploy the ship on a range of itineraries from South America to the Baltic Sea. They'll still take ownership, but will allow RSSC to continue its operations for another year.
RSSC has not yet announced the new arrangement. Check back, as we'll provide updates shortly.

Barry Hinson
March 28, 2012
By Tom Weber
CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Southern Illinois University Director of Athletics Mario Moccia named Barry Hinson as the school's new men's basketball head coach during a press conference on Wednesday afternoon. Hinson succeeds Chris Lowery and becomes just the 13th head coach in the 99-year history of the program.
Hinson, 50, has served the last four years on Bill Self's staff at the University of Kansas. During his first two years at KU, he worked as the director of external relations. In May, 2010, he was promoted to director of operations. The Jayhawks have been one of the nation's premier programs during the last four years with a combined 106-20 record and a trip to the Final Four this weekend.
Prior to Kansas, Hinson was the head coach at Missouri State for nine seasons. While at Missouri State, he guided the Bears to a 169-117 record (.591) with postseason NIT teams in 2000, 2005, 2006 and 2007. His 2006 squad was left out of the NCAA Tournament with a 21 RPI. That club went on to win NIT games over Stanford and Houston.
"Barry Hinson comes from a great tradition, has an excellent record of graduating his student-athletes, winning games and is currently on staff with the University of Kansas, which will be playing in the Final Four this weekend," said Moccia. "We are so pleased to welcome him as our new head coach."
Hinson and the University agreed to a five-year contract that will pay him $250,000 annually during the first two years, $300,000 in year three, $325,000 in year four, and $350,000 in year five.
Although Southern Illinois dominated the Missouri Valley Conference by winning six-straight championships from 2002 to 2007, Hinson's Bears beat Southern 10 times -- more than any other conference school during his nine-year tenure. The Bears had three 20-win seasons under Hinson and advanced to the finals of the MVC Tournament three times.
"I'm genuinely excited to be the head coach at a university with a great tradition in college basketball, and even more excited to be part of a community which seems so much like the place where I was raised," said Hinson, a native of Marlow, Okla.
Hinson spent eight years as a high school coach in Oklahoma before landing a college job on Self's staff at Oral Roberts in 1993. Four years later, he took over for Self at ORU and produced records of 19-12 and 17-11 in two years as head coach and tied for two Mid-Continent Conference regular-season titles.
Hinson and his wife, Angie, have two daughters. Tiffany was married in 2004 to Niles Thomason and the couple lives in Colorado. Ashley is a 2006 graduate of Missouri State and lives in Springfield, Mo.
What they are saying about Barry Hinson
Bill Self, University of Kansas, Men's Basketball Head Coach
"I have never been around a more positive, energetic, unselfish person. He is loyal, ethical and can coach and recruit. He also is a GREAT...not good public speaker -- probably got that from his father, a Baptist minister. I love the guy. The community, administration, staff and players will also in Carbondale. Barry Hinson gets it and will be a great person to work with and build the Southern Illinois basketball program."
Doug Elgin, Missouri Valley Conference, Commissioner
"Barry Hinson is an exceptional basketball coach and teacher, and a proven program builder. He's been successful at every coaching stop in his career. Coach Hinson is a man of great integrity and high character, he has recruited exceptionally well, and he has a track record of graduating an extremely high percentage of his student-athletes. I compliment the Search Committee, athletics director Mario Moccia and Chancellor Rita Cheng for making a tremendous hire. I have absolutely no doubt that Barry Hinson will return the Saluki basketball program to prominence."

I love surf films. Whether it is watching riders take off on gnarly, death-defying monsters (Storm Surfers 3D), searching to find the perfect wave (The Endless Summer) or mateship and surf culture (Big Wednesday), I find them fascinating. A winning surf film has great cinematography, courageous characters and a fine soundtrack. Drift, from directors Ben Nott and Morgan O'Neill, is one of these. Xavier Samuel and Myles Pollard play brothers who grow up on the breaks around Western Australia's Margaret River in the 1970s. Seeing a demand for surf gear, they start a small manufacturing operation with their mother on the sewing machine. Drift combines great drama with stunning surf scenes. It's out on Thursday.
Movie buffs are also in for a treat with the Festival of German Films, which launches on Tuesday night with the compelling drama Two Lives at the Chauvel Cinema. The festival runs at the Chauvel and Palace Verona in Paddington until May 14. See goethe.de/ozfilmfest for more details.

Unknown Consequences
"In 1993 a high court judge in the UK decided that is was impossible to know the exact contents of vaccines and that science had no idea what the cocktail of chemicals, contaminants and heavy metals contained in vaccines could do to the human body, or why they would work to prevent disease."
British Medical Journal, 1993
"No one knows the long term consequences of injecting foreign proteins into the body. Even more shocking is the fact that no one is making any structured effort to find out."
Robert S. Mendelsohn MD, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Illinios, 'The Medical Time Bomb of Immunization Against Disease'
"When we eat protein it is broken down into its constituent amino acids...if a foreign animal protein makes it into our bloodstream without having being broken down this can set up an autoimmune type response...By injecting things never meant to be in the body we are not only bypassing body defenses but wrongly activating other defenses."
Robyn Cosford MD, Documentary 'Vaccination:The Hidden Truth'
Vaccines...Sterile and Safe?
"I think no person would permit anybody to get close to them with an inoculation if they would really know how they made and what they carry...When you go to the doctor you may see a very clear liquid in an injection or the pink brew that was given to us on sugar cubes. And we may think it is very sterile and very purified but it is not..."The testing cell cultures used in vaccines is commonly done 14 to 21 days after cells are planted, the usual period for most virologic studies. At that time, only 2-4 percent show viral infections, but if the same lots are examined 29 to 55 days after plating, a significantly higher percentage of cultures show viral infection."
Eva Snead MD, San Antonio, Texas
"In the Rimavexmeasles vaccine we found various chicken viruses. In polio vaccine, we found acanthomeba which is so called "brain-eating" ameba. Simian cytomegatovias in the polio vaccine, simian foamy in the rotavirus vaccine, bird cancer viruses in the MMR vaccine.various organisms in the anthrax vaccine, dangerous enzyme inhibitors in several vaccines. Duck, dog and rabbit viruses in the rubella vaccine. Avian leucosis virus in the flu vaccine, postivirus in the MMR vaccine... Also, most don't know that some polio vaccines, adenovirus vaccines, rubella, Hepatitis A measles vaccines etc. have been made with aborted human fetal tissue."
Dr. Mark Randall (pseudonym) former NIH researcher and vaccine developer for major pharmaceuticals, interviewed by investigative journalist John Rappoport
"Federal inspectors documented unwanted fibers on the stoppers of vaccine vials at Merck & Co. Inc.'s vast vaccine plant in Montgomery County... Inspectors... cited 49 areas of concern including a failure to follow good manufacturing practices... The report comes as demand for Merck's vaccines is surging. The company began selling four new vaccines in 2005 and 2006, pushing up total vaccine sales from 1.1 billion in 2005 to $4.3 billion in 2007. The findings are detailed in an unpublished twenty-one page FDA report and accessed by The Philidelphia Inquirer under the Federal Freedom of Information Act."
Philadelphia Inquirer, 4/30/08
"BayGam is made from human plasma. Products made from human plasma may contain infectious agents such as viruses, that cause disease."
Immuno Globulin Insert, Bayer Corporation
Vaccine Ingredients: A Toxic Stew?
"Some additional ingredients (as listed by the CDC in their website) include antibiotics which you could be allergic to; aluminum which when combined with silicon deficiency results in neurofibrillary tangles seen in Alzheimers; formaldehyde – a toxic carcinogenic substance used to preserve dead people; MSG – a potent excitotoxin which like aspartame can cause seizures and brain tumours; egg protein to which you could have life threatening anaphylactic reaction; and sulfites another toxin injected directly into blood stream. What the CDC does not admit is that 13 vaccines at present are cultured on aborted fetal tissue (human diploid cells). They also fail to mention the ethyl mercury containing preservative thimerosal which has been the ONLY dangerous substance in vaccines to received mainstream media attention..."
Rebecca Carley MD, VIDS Expert, 'Inoculations: The True Weapon of Mass Destruction'
"All vaccine ingredients are poisonous, carcinogenic, or potentially harmful to the skin, gastro-intestinal, pulmonary, neurological and immune systems...What about formaldehyde? Are we going to wait until another brave physician or scientist writes about the damaging effects of formaldehyde on our children's brains before we are called to demand that formaldehyde be removed? Or about Problems associated with having Polysorbate 80 in the vaccine? Polysorbate-80 is used in pharmacology to assist in the delivery of certain drugs or chemotherapeutic agents across the blood-brain barrier. What bacterial, yeast, heavy metal or other vaccine containing ingredients need to pass into the brains of our children?"
Lawrence B. Palevsky, MD, FAAP, Pediatrician, 'Aluminum and Vaccine Ingredients: What Do We Know? What Don't We Know?'
"Aluminum, a common adjuvant, has known toxicity on the kidneys with causal relationship to encephalitis, bone disease and anemia... Aluminum hydroxyl induces inflammatory reaction of the immune cells, releasing aberrant signaling proteins."
Barbara Brewitt, PhD, 'MMR Vaccine and 'Helpers' as Toxic Agents'
"Alum or Aluminum hydroxide can cause vaccine allergy and anaphylaxis and macrophage myofascitis a chronic inflammation syndrome."
Dr. Mae Wan Ho Geneticist and Biophysicist, Director, Institute of Science in Society London, England
"Chicken pox vaccine is produced in lung tissue obtained from two surgically aborted human fetuses... Merck's own literature states the vaccine contains 'residual components' of fetal lung cells... Informed consent, a basic tenant of ethical medical practice, dictates citizens should have a choice whether or not they are injected with another person' body cells."
Kristine Severyn, RPhD, PhD, 'Profit not Science Drives Vaccine Mandates'
"Aspartame (artificial sweetener) is a neurotoxin. Who cares what the vaccine tastes like? Why are they putting aspartame in vaccines?"
Rebecca Carley MD, General Surgeon, Court Qualified VIDS Expert
Would we give an adult thirty vaccines at once?
"A single vaccine given to a six pound newborn is the equivalent of giving a 180 pound adult 30 vaccinations on the same day. Include the toxic effects of high levels of aluminum and formaldehyde contained in some vaccines, and the synergist toxicity could be increased to unknown levels...Bilary transport is the major biochemical route by which mercury is removed from the body, and infants cannot do this very well. They also do not possess the renal (kidney)capacity to remove aluminum. Additionally, mercury is well-known inhibitor of kidney function."
Boyd Haley PhD., Professor and Chair, Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky
"I challenged a fanatical pro-vaccinator to go on TV and allow himself to be injected with baby vaccines adjusted to his body weight... We haven't heard back from him. I think this is a reasonable request to be issued to all vaccinators"
Viera Scheibner PhD, Author of Several Books on Vaccination
Thimerosal in Vaccines: A Disturbing History
"Thimerosal was tested only once, by Eli Lilly on the 22 adult patients suffering from meningitis. There was no chance for follow-up to observe long-term effects, as all the patients in this "study" died. Even if follow-up had been possible, damage to the developing brains of very young children would have remained unknown. Eli Lilly said it was safe and the medical community accepted it. After the creation of the FDA, its use was simply continued. The federal government has never tested the type of mercury in vaccines for toxicity. This is an unconscionable oversight failure at best, at worse it is an example of how we have left consensus reality to be created by the liars junk scientists employ."
Kenneth P. Stoller, MD. 'My Open Letter to the American Academy of Pediatrics'
"You mean to tell me that since 1929 we've been using thimerosal (in vaccines) and in the only test that you know of...everyone of those people had meningitis and they all died?"
Congressional Representative Dan Burton, Congressional Hearing, 7/18/2000
"Dr. Maurice Hilleman of Merck who drew attention to safety concerns over thimerosal... In a memo to his colleagues, Dr. Gorden Douglas in March 1991 not only reported these concerns but presented his estimate that the mercury load to a fully vaccinated U.S. infant would be fifty-seven times the Swedish daily allowance. In the memo he bemoaned the lack of any science that identified the safety of using thimerosal. It appears his warnings went unheeded. Hilleman's key document was to remain in a company box."
Andrew Wakefield MD, FRCS, FRCPath
"We began to learn that the greatest problem with the meeting (Simpsonwood) is that, they know virtually nothing about what they are doing. On page 15, for example, they admit that there is very little pharmacokinetic data on ethyl mercury, the form of mercury in thimerosal, In fact, they say there is no data on excretion, the data on toxicity is sparse, yet it is recognized to cause hypersensitivity, it can cause neurological problems and even death, and it is known to easily pass the blood-brain barrier and placental barrier. Therefore, what they are admitting is that we have a form of mercury that has been used in vaccines since the 1930s and no one has bothered to study the effects on biological systems."
Russell Blaylock MD, Neurosurgeon, 'The Truth Behind the Vaccine Cover-Up'
"If you inject thimerosal into an animal, it's brain will sicken. If you apply it to living tissue, the cells die. If you put it in a petri dish the culture dies. Knowing these things, it would be shocking if one could inject it into an infant without causing damage."
Boyd Haley PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky
(Studies show) a 7 to 1 increase in relative risk of injury for children born to mothers who got a thimerosal-preserved flu shot in the first four lunar months of their pregnancy over matched mothers who did not.
'Birth Defects & Drugs in Pregnancy, Heinonem, Slone, Shapiro
"The medical literature is abound with studies on the deleterious effects of mercury on numerous enzymes, mitochondrial energy production, synaptic function dendritic retraction neurotubule dissolution and excitotoxicity, yet he sees only a "theoretical concern"...It is a misnomer to say "removal of thimerosal" since they are not removing anything. (Just what will they be replacing it with?) They just plan to stop adding it to future vaccines once they use up existing stocks, which entails millions of doses. And incredibly the government allows them to do it. Even more incredibly, the American Academy of Family Practice similarly endorse this insane policy."
Russell Blaylock, MD, Neurosurgeon, 'The Truth Behind the Vaccine Cover-up'
"It's important to remember when you hear from vaccine safety promoters that ethylmercury (in thimerosal) disappears from the blood in several days, that the mercury leaves the plasma and enter the brain where it de-ethylated and remains for a lifetime...What they fail to mention is that only 7% of methylmercury is converted to ionic mercury whereas 34% of ethlymercury is converted in a short time."
Russel Blaylock MD, Neurosurgeon, 'Vaccines Neurodevelopment and Autism Spectrum Disorders 3/12/08
"This study provides strong epidemiological evidence for a link between increasing mercury from thimerosal-containing vaccines and neurodevelopment disorders and heart disease."
Mark Grier MD, PhD; 'Thimerosal in Childhood Vaccines, Neurodevelopment Disorders and Heart Disease in the United States
"Mercury is one of the most dangerous substances known to man. It should not have a place in any vaccine for anyone of any age."
Richard Halvorsen MD, Author, 'The Truth about Vaccination'
Thimerosal –Free or Not?
"Out of about 120 million doses of the worthless (1) flu vaccine shipped for the 2007-08 flu season, no more than about 15 million doses, including the less than 4 million live-virus doses, were no thimerosal doses. That means that about 87% contained some level of thimerosal and at least 42% contained the maximum level (0.01%) of thimerosal....Today in some states, the flu vaccine given to those under 3years of age is supposed to contain no more than a trace level of thimerosal, but with no government agency testing vaccines for mercury, the only ones who know whether a preservative-free vaccine (flu or otherwise) actually is mercury free are the manufacturers themselves."
Kenneth P. Stoller MD, 'My Open Letter to The American Academy of Pediatrics'
"No preference is indicated for use of vaccine that does not contain thimerosal... for any group recommended for vaccination including pregnant women."
"Many vaccine manufacturers voluntarily began producing 'supposed' mercury-free vaccines in 1999. The June 2006 lab result from Doctor's Data run counter to vaccine manufacturers' claims. For example, some product inserts currently claim that a trace amount of mercury exists in the final product but the amount has been greatly reduced. Others claim to be producing completely mercury-free products. All four vaccine vials tested contained mercury despite manufacturer claims that two of the vials were completely mercury-free. All four vials contained aluminum, one contained nine times more than the other three, tremendously enhancing the toxicity of mercury."
Health Advocacy in the Public Interest, 8/12/04
Mercury: Ingestion versus Injection
"In eating, a complex food containing tissue-bound mercury species, the person's digestive system containing metallothionen compounds reduce the amount of mercury that enters the body to some fraction of mercury in that food. In contrast all the mercury in a vaccine enters the body... Mercury in breast milk has been exposed to the protective proteins in the mother's human toxic protection system... the 360 micrograms/180 days or 2 micrograms/day of methyl mercury delivered over a twenty-four hour period. A vaccine contains 12.5 to 25 micrograms of ethyl mercury- a six to twelve fold increase is injected instead of ingested within one minute. In some vaccines, it is also combined with polymeric aluminum hydroxyl materials... which has been shown to raise the potential toxicity of thimerosal."
Andrew Wakefield MD, FRCS, FRCPath
"It is clear from our analysis shown in Table 1 that US infants are exposed to mercury levels from their childhood immunization schedule that far exceed the EPA and FDA established maximum permissible levels for the daily oral ingestion of methyl mercury. The fact that mercury in vaccines is given by injection rather than oral ingestion only makes the exposure levels worse because Grier et al. showed that the distribution of foreign particles in mice reached several logs higer concentration in organs following intraveneous or intramuscular injection than via oral ingestion."
Mark Geier, MD, PhD, 'Thimerosal in Childhood Vaccines, Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Heart Disease in the United States, Grier et al
Adjuvants and Auto-Immune Disease
"What's terrifying is that these pandemic vaccines contain ingredients called immune adjuvants (such as squalene) that a number of studies have shown cause devastating autoimmune disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus... What most people don't know, even the doctors who recommend the vaccines, is that most studies by pharmaceutical companies observe the patients for only one to two weeks after vaccination-these kinds of reactions may take months or years to manifest."
Russell Blaylock, MD, Neurosurgeon, 'Vaccine May Be More Dangerous than Swine Flu', 7/17/09
"According to a recent review... most newer adjuvants including MF-59, ISCOMS, QS21, ASO2 and ASO4 have "substantially local reactogenicity and systemic toxicity..."
Dr. Mae Wan Ho, Geneticist and Dr. Joe Cummins, Professor Emeritus, University of Western Ontario, 'Fast-tracked Swine Flu Vaccine Under Fire'
"Squalene is a natural substance found in most plants and animals. Your body uses it to help synergize cholesterol as well as vitamin D... However, when commerical squalene is injected, the body identifies it as threat and creates antibodies to attack it... In fact, when scientists from Tulane University tested blood samples from vets suffering Gulf War Syndrome, they found that 100% of them had abnormal antibodies to squalene... Syptoms of GWS were subtle to start: headaches, fatigue, generalized aches and pains... this is what worries me about the H1N1 vaccube... Reactions can take years to appear making it difficult to connect the dots."
Allan Spreen MD, Senior Member, Health Sciences Institute Advisory Panel, Baltimore MD, 'Serious Reasons to Skip the H1N1 Vaccine Part II.'
"This adjuvant (squalene) contributed to the cascade of reactions called Gulf War Syndrome documented in soldiers in the Gulf War... The symptoms they developed included: arthritis, fibromyalgia, lupus erythematosus, ALS, chronic fatigue, neuropsychiatric problems, seizures, chronic headaches,, memory loss, anti-thyroid effects, rashes..."
Viera Scheibner, PhD, Vaccine Researcher
"In animal studies of oil-based (vaccine) adjuvants in rats, the animals were rendered crippled and paralyzed. Squalene brought on severe arthritis symptoms in rats, and studies in humans given from 10-20 ppb(parts per billion) of squalene showed severe impact and development of autoimmune disorders."

Dallas, Texas – February 19, 2014
While one could easily agree that the DFW Auto Show isn't exactly on par with the big galas that are held in Detroit, Chicago, New York or LA, it did have something the crow about this year, as Ford took the wraps off its significantly reworked 2015 Expedition SUV; and this being just across the aisle from the Chevrolet display, which featured its all-new grounds up 2015 Tahoe and Suburban. A similar occurrence was taking place on the upper promenade of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, as the equally all-new 2015 Cadillac Escalade and the 2015 Lincoln Navigator where literally doing a face off.
It's a given that Ford couldn't stand idly by while GM stole all the thunder, and that's exactly what would have happen if the Blue Oval Company had stood aimlessly by. As it is it's about to be one bad-ass battle royal for market share.
What's been coined as a dinosaur by the Sierra Club and like organizations the gargantuan body-on-frame SUV is still very much a staple of American culture; this especially holds true for Texas where they've become an important part of the Lone Star State's heritage and landscape.
So what better place than Big D to unveil the new 2015 Expedition, which incidentally receives its first significant cosmetic rework since the 2007 model year. Ford certainly put all its effort in the right places; making this generation look as fresh as the day it first arrived as an early 1997 model.With a slight of hand the majority of the enhancements focus primarily on a new front clip, a new interior with an updated instrument cluster, and most significantly, a switch from V8 power to the same 3.5-liter Eco-Boost twin turbo V6 found on the current F-150.
Also new is the super luxurious Platinum edition, which now puts trim levels on parity with the F-150. The Platinum features a choice of scrumptious leather hides, including one Ford refers to as red wine, which includes tuxedo-stripe accents and French seams. The other color choice is black leather with Agate Gray accents. Though pricing has not been announced, expect the Platinum to start north of $50k.
Other models continue as the King Ranch, Limited and base XLT.
The instrument panel now features two new 4.2-inch LCD screens between the central speedometer. Models equipped with MyFord Touch receive a new, eight-inch touchscreen. The 2015 Expedition also receives new convenience and safety items like blind-spot alert, cross-traffic alert, push-button start, a rearview camera and apps for the infotainment system to help with towing and off-road driving. The new 2015 Expedition Platinum edition includes many of these features as standard.
The 2015 Expedition receives new adaptive shock absorbers that monitor the road surface to improve ride and handling. Independent rear suspension, which the Expedition adapted for 2003, has been a strong selling point over its competition. New continuously controlled damping, available for the first time on a Ford nameplate, will make the Expedition the only model in Ford's domestic fleet with three selectable drive modes – comfort, normal and sport.
Now if you're thinking it's completely insane to not at least offer a V8 option you might be mistaken. The Eco-Boost has become the engine of choice for the F-150, and that's factoring in the premium up-charge. Ford claims that the addition of the EcoBoost engine dramatically changes the driving characteristics of Expedition. Compared with the 5.4-liter V8, the 3.5-liter EcoBoost not only delivers better fuel economy, but offers more on demand power and torque at lower RPMs.
It's only speculation for the moment, but it's rumored that the Expedition is due for a complete makeover in a couple of years, with this redo merely a stop gap to combat the onslaught. It would seem only natural to follow with an aluminum body, similar in scope to the all-new 2015 F-150, that will arrive afterwards. However, the official unofficial word I received from Ford Corporate Spokesperson, Mark Schirmer, Global Product Communication, was not necessarily, because the current-body Exposition is still a popular seller. Be that as it may, we'll just have to wait and see.
The 2015 Expedition is expected to arrive in dealerships the second half of this year.
Press Release
Ford Reveals 2015 Expedition with EcoBoost Engine, Advanced Technology, New Platinum Series
DALLAS, Feb. 18, 2014 – The new 2015 Ford Expedition, revealed here today ahead of the 2014 DFW Auto Show, continues to represent the smart choice for people who need a full-size utility vehicle that provides capable performance, usable space and advanced technology.
Expedition now features Ford F-Series' popular 3.5-liter EcoBoost® engine, more technology than ever and a fresh new look. Launching later this year, it is the latest Ford nameplate to offer a Platinum series. Expedition is being shown for the first time in Texas, Ford's largest market by sales volume, and home to the top two cities for Expedition sales – Dallas and Houston.
Expedition debuted in 1996 and is Ford's largest utility vehicle. By most measures, it is a leader in interior space, accommodating eight passengers. Two versions are offered – the standard 119-inch wheelbase is just more than 6 inches longer than Ford Explorer. It has three rows of seats and up to 108.3 cubic feet of cargo space. The longer-wheelbase version sits on a 131- inch wheelbase, and features three rows of seats and up to 130.8 cubic feet of cargo space.
Expedition remains the only full-size utility vehicle not classified as a luxury offering to feature an independent rear suspension. This helps deliver more confident ride and handling characteristics, and allows for the lower, more convenient fold-flat third-row bench seat.
Both standard and EL versions of Expedition are built at Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, alongside Ford's popular Super Duty pickup. Last month, the company confirmed plans to add more workers and invest an additional $80 million in facility upgrades to improve automation and increase capacity at the plant.
Ford is responding to strong customer feedback and introducing a top-of-the-line Platinum series Expedition with unique, premium interior appointments. The new vehicle features the latest popular technologies like SYNC® with MyFord Touch®, push-button start and Blind Spot Information System®. A new 3.5-liter, direct-injected twin-turbocharged EcoBoost delivers more power and performance than the current 5.4-liter V8, and is designed to be more efficient.
"This new Expedition is proof Ford is committed to remaining the leader in utilities – small, medium and large," said Jackie DiMarco, Expedition chief engineer. "We listened to our customers and created a full-size utility vehicle that doesn't compromise in performance, technology or design."
Improved on the road
From the outset, engineers worked to make the 2015 Expedition a technologically advanced vehicle that is easy to drive and offers refinement for all types of drivers.
The new EcoBoost engine dramatically changes the driving characteristics of Expedition. Compared with the 5.4-liter V8, the 3.5-liter EcoBoost gives drivers not just better fuel economy, but more power and torque on demand at very low engine speeds.
"Expedition becoming the latest Ford utility vehicle to wear the EcoBoost badge will be exciting for customers," said Doug Scott, Ford truck group marketing manager. "Increased torque and horsepower, combined with new levels of efficiency and an advanced suspension not only will make Expedition more fun to drive, but also easier to own. This is another 'and' solution from Ford."
The 3.5-liter EcoBoost will be the only engine offered in the new Expedition in North America. To maximize performance and control, the vehicle is equipped with a six-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission featuring a manual mode that allows the driver to use a shift-mounted rocker switch to select the desired gear.
With EcoBoost now standard equipment across the 2015 Expedition range, the entire U.S. lineup of Ford utility vehicles will be available with EcoBoost power by the end of 2014.
New continuously controlled damping, available for the first time on a Ford nameplate, will make Expedition the only Blue Oval-branded vehicle in the United States with three selectable drive modes – comfort, normal and sport.
Using a suite of sensors that detect 46 unique body, steering and braking inputs, the advanced suspension monitors body motion and then adjusts Expedition's damping system in milliseconds to manage the vehicle's natural body motion. A vehicle with poor damping feels as if it is bouncing on its suspension springs; continuously controlled damping recognizes the weight of the vehicle, steering feedback and road undulations and then reacts accordingly, helping to control body motion so passengers experience an orderly, comfortable ride.
The new Expedition also features Ford's innovative electric power-assisted steering, which gives drivers noticeably improved maneuverability at low speeds and better feel at high speeds, and saves fuel because it operates more efficiently than traditional pump-driven systems. The technology reduces steering effort and makes Expedition more engaging to drive.
More technology customers want
The new Expedition debuts with popular technology upgrades consumers are now demanding, including SYNC with MyFord Touch and driver-assist features such as radar-based Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert.
The updated interior of Expedition incorporates a fresh center stack to accommodate new technologies, such as an 8-inch touch screen for SYNC with MyFord Touch. The driver information cluster features two full-color 4.2-inch LCD screens.
Other new technologies on the 2015 Expedition include a 10-speaker, 700-watt Sony audio system; Intelligent Access with push-button start; rearview camera; seven-color, interior ambient LED lighting; and Ford truck apps to help make trailer towing and off-road driving easier.
Fresh style and design
The new Expedition pushes full-size utility vehicle design to a higher level, with fresh interior and exterior styling and a diverse series lineup – each with a distinct look and feel to give customers more choice than ever. A Platinum trim package, which has been very successful on Ford F-Series, will be available on Expedition for the first time.
"The Platinum series brings Expedition into a whole new arena of design and style," said Scott. "One of the strengths of Expedition has always been the different trim series we offer. From XLT to Limited and now with Platinum, we have an Expedition that will fit any customer's needs."
The Platinum series is tailored with lush leather seating described by designers as buttery – soft and smooth to the touch. It's available in a new Brunello leather, a red wine color with tuxedo- stripe accents and French-seamed stitching. Platinum customers can also choose black leather with Agate Gray accents.
Beyond the new Platinum series, the 2015 Expedition lineup includes the XLT, Limited and a new King Ranch edition to be revealed later.
The design team, finding inspiration in the world around them, incorporated different themes to define the look for each series. The intent was to reflect a consumer lifestyle, from the sporty XLT, to the confident, elegant Limited, to the sophisticated, urban Platinum. Each series has unique finishes specially selected to reflect the lifestyle and desires of the customer. For example, Expedition Limited features refined yet traditional finishes, while for the Platinum edition, the colors and material finishes are fresh and sophisticated.
The Expedition exterior has been updated with an all-new front end featuring available LED fog lamps for a fresh, aggressive look.
An all-new wheel lineup including factory-installed 22-inch models, a redesigned rear hatch and subtle, chrome-tipped exhaust pipes round out the exterior changes to the 2015 Expedition.
With this new model debuting at the DFW Auto Show – deep in the heart of the full-size utility vehicle market – Ford is building on a successful tradition of Expedition capability and quality with significant improvements in design, performance, efficiency and available technology.

Plymouth Whalers Alumni Put on a Fun Show for Charity and FansAug 16, 2014 - 19:00 EDT
Referee Perry Vellucci faced a dilemma at the end of the Plymouth Whalers Alumni game, played Saturday at Compuware Arena.
Although the game meant nothing - expect pride - the Blues held an 8-7 lead over the Whites in the final minute of play. The pace picked up considerably as the Whites pulled their goalie, searching for the equalizer.
As in other Plymouth Whalers Alumni games, Vellucci was looking for the game to be tied after regulation, causing a shootout to decide the issue and add a little more fun to an afternoon. It's a tradition.
Sure enough, with the White moving into the Blue zone, there was a clock "malfunction." The clock stopped several times over the final minute.
If a hockey game ever resembled soccer, today's game was a prime example as Vellucci tacked a few extra seconds on the clock to try to force the tie.
Try as he might, Vellucci could not force the tie and the Blues skated off with the victory.
"I was just trying to help things along," said Vellucci after the game with a smile.
ADDITIONAL COVERAGE: Tim Smith, Plymouth Observer and Eccentric
While Dallas Stars' center Tyler Seguin was one of the stars of the show with a couple of goals and many other opportunities, retired goaltender Bill Ruggiero brought his pads out of the basement and put on a great show.
If Three Stars were awarded in this game, Ruggiero was one of them.
Ruggiero - who played for the Whalers in 1999-00 - played in the minor leagues for ten seasons before retiring in 2010 after a season with the Detroit Hitmen of the defunct All-American Hockey League.
The game also featured active players David Legwand (Ottawa), Brett Bellemore (Carolina) and Stefan Noesen (Anaheim), who also scored a couple of goals for the Blues. Matt Hackett (Buffalo) also appeared but did not play becuase of injury.
Kevin Holdridge (1996-99) was also prominent, scoring a goal and making several good defensive plays. Holdridge never played in the National Hockey League, but did play in the minor leagues from 2003-06, including a stint in professional hockey in Australia. He has a degree from the Univeiryt of Michigan.
The game, billed "Whalers Alumni Give a Miracle on Ice," proceeds of the game in the form of a $10 donation – go to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals at Beaumont Children's Hospital.
The alumni put on a great show, not only for the fans, but for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals at Beaumont Children's Hospital.
Plymouth Whalers alumni contributing their time and effort in the game included Bill Ruggiero, Shaun Fisher, Jason Lawmaster, Kevin Holdridge, Stefan Noesen, John Vigilante, Myles McCauley, David Legwand, Mike Yovanic, James Livingston, Alex Aleardi, Rob McBride, Scott Wedgewood, Brett Bellemore, Andre Robichaud, Tyler Seguin, Dan Pawlaczyk, Joe Byrne, James Ramsay, Damian Surma, Mike Morrone, Robbie Czarnik, Chris Terry, Matt Hackett, Jamie Lalonde and Jared Newman.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Next up? Plymouth's training camp, starting August 26 at Compuware Arena.

It all started on Nov. 3, 2009, when the Littleton city council called for an emergency meeting to begin studying the impact of medical marijuana dispensaries. The seminal meeting ended with a 90 day moratorium on new dispensaries in place.
The group formally met four more times before the second reading and final vote for Title 3 Chapter 20 of the city code concerning dispensaries last night (1/19/10) at 7pm.
This regulation has proved to be the most controversial and divisive in the State of Colorado to date.
The open meeting was well attended with MMJ proponents outnumbering those who were opposed. Several persons from each side were allowed to share their concerns with the council and answer questions from the council.
While it had many of the same "distance" rules, on-site consumption, security measures, licensing and fee schedules many have come to expect, it also introduces many seemingly random rules that dispensary owners say "will land the city in court."
Here are some examples of the more controversial regulations:
• Signage may not display the words "marijuana" or "cannabis" or any other word or phrase referring to marijuana - no related images either
• Cultivation of plants is limited to 20% of the floor space
• Dispensaries are limited to only selling to patients who have named them as their "caregiver"
• Limit the number of dispensaries for all of Littleton to only four
• No medical marijuana "grow facilities" anywhere in the city
The new license application fee will be $2500 with a CBI background check or $38.50 per person. The annual fee is set at $2000 with change fees that range from $200 to $400 per event.
The dispensaries in question are Green Mountain Care 5423 S. Prince St., Mother Nature's Miracle 315W. Littleton Blvd., The Hemp Center 2430 W. Main St., Blue Sky Care Connection 1449 W. Littleton Blvd., Metro Cannabis 241 W. County Line Rd., A Cut Above 2690 W. Main St., Mile High Medicine 5241 S. Santa Fe Dr., Colorado Organic Caregivers 250 E. Dry Creek Rd., Cannamart 72 E. Arapahoe Rd. and Green Alternative Pharmacy 1830 W. Littleton Blvd.
In the second of this two part series we will look into more of the details surrounding these controversial regulations. Also, here is a link to television coverage of the proceedings.

Libation Bearers
by Aeschylus
Libation Bearers Gender Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line). We used Christopher Collard's translation.
Quote #10
(Orestes): "It was an outrage: to be sold away, when I was a free man's son."
(Clytemnestra): "Then where was the price I got in exchange?"
(Orestes): "I feel shame at putting that reproach to you plainly."
(Clytemnestra): "Don't, unless you speak equally of your father's follies too."
(Orestes): "Don't find fault with the worker while you sit about indoors."
(Clytemnestra): "It is painful for wives to be kept from a husband, my child."
(Orestes): "But it is a husband's toil which maintains them while they sit indoors." (915-921)
Here, once again, we get the sexual double-standard. Orestes calls his mom a skank for (in his view) sending him away so she could carry on with Aegisthus. Clytemnestra defends herself by saying that Agamemnon had affairs too, and anyway life's tough for women who have to sit at home while their husbands are off fighting battles. In his response, however, Orestes shows that he thinks men have special rights: because men's fighting provides their wives with a livelihood, women should just put up with their affairs. Who do you think we are meant to feel more sympathy for in this exchange?

Low-end Samsung SM-G357 coming soon, has specs leaked
So far not many smartphones are running Android 4.4 KitKat, which is the latest version of Google's mobile operating system. Most new flagships nowadays do launch with that software variation on board, and some past top of the line handsets have already received updates that take them to this version.
In the midrange and low-end space, though, the situation is a lot more dire. LG, with its L III series, has so far been the only manufacturer to consistently launch new cheap smartphones running KitKat. That may change in the near future, though, as LG's arch-rival Samsung is also apparently working on a new low-end device running Android 4.4.
Its model number is SM-G357M, and we don't yet know what it will be called when it launches. That said, be sure it will be Galaxy something. The G357 has 480×800 screen resolution, something which today is only used in low-end phones. That, coupled with the low model number (the Galaxy S5, for example, is the SM-G900), makes us think this will be a cheap offering of some sort.
Unfortunately though, we don't know more about it yet – just the screen resolution, Android version, and model number. These have surfaced via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certifications, as well as a user agent profile posted on Samsung's website. Stay tuned though, and we'll let you know when anything else becomes clear about the SM-G357M.
SammyToday found a Samsung SM-G357F in a benchmark, another user agent profile on Samsung's website, as well as on Indian import tracking site Zauba. This is clearly just a different variation of the SM-G357M, so it's safe to assume their specs are extremely similar, if not identical.
The SM-G357F has a 4.3-inch 480×800 touchscreen, a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage, a 5 MP rear camera with 1080p Full HD video recording support, a 0.3 MP front camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, and it runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat.

In the near future, mutants and ordinary humans alike are under attack and losing the battle. So our heroes from former installments try to prevent this war by sending Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) back to the past so he can fix the mess a certain blue lady (Jennifer Lawrence) is creating. In the year 1973, Wolverine meets young and depressed Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) again. Will he succeed in uniting the two mutant geniuses and change everything?
That said, 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' is a thrilling experience. The chemistry between James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender is amazing, as are their performances. Again. Nicholas Hoult does a fantastic job as Hank. Hugh Jackman is Wolverine, meaning he IS THE Wolverine. "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage does a great job as Dr. Trask. And yes, I love Jennifer Lawrence as Raven. Plus, we see Ellen Page and Omar Sy, and Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are great as ever.
I like the performances and the acting in general. There are quite some emotional scenes. Needless to say that James McAvoy pulls them off so well it almost hurts.
'X-Men: Days of Future Past' promises fun as well. Action sequences are spiced with nice effects and flavored with some humor. Evan Peters who plays Quicksilver is amazing in his role and gives you something to watch in amazing 3D.
Last but not least, the cinematography is fantastic. Yes, I have seen even better results, but scenes, cuts, and effects fit the movie. 3D looks and feels great.
Overall, I rate it as one of the best X-Men movies so far. Although I am aware of some logical gaps (considering the original X-Men movie time line), I accept 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' as a more or less alternate canon time line. By doing so, it is easy to enjoy these two hours full of mutants, their powers, and their fears.

Decision : CONF 016 V.11
Consideration of Item 4 of the agenda: Nominations the World Heritage List
The Committee discussed one by one those nominations which had been recommended by the Bureau for inscription on the List, those which had been recommended by the Bureau not to be entered on the List and nominations which raised a problem of application of the criteria, and were hence recommended by the Bureau to be deferred. In each case the Committee heard, as appropriate, the comments of the representatives of IUCN and/or ICOMOS who presented an evaluation of each property in question in relation to the criteria. The representatives of IUCN and ICOMOS were invited when appro- priate and to the extent that it was feasible to consider the nominations in a comparative context.

Conscious Contracts for Conscious Business
Conscious Business" is a phrase used to identify companies that operate according to the fundamental principle that business can be a force for positive change in the world. These companies believe (and have demonstrated) that creating value for all stakeholders–customers, employees, society, the environment, and future generations–brings greater success than putting primary focus solely on generating profits.

Duk-Pond Preston
Pin ItOne advantage to having a partner that lives in Lancashire is that it gives us a base to explore the food in that part of the world.
Those of you that have had a look at the Food Map will have noticed a few eateries listed from the area. I apologise for blethering on about that post – but, well, it's the first time I've put a proper list together and it's gonna be a big part of this years food adventure.
Anyway, where was I? Ah – Lancashire. In particular – Preston. On Twelfth Night. Traditionally the closing curtain for Christmas and a further opportunity for a feast. Now I'm sure you know by now that I don't often turn that kind of opportunity down.
So off we went to try the eclectic mix of dishes on offer in a tapas style dining experience at Dukpond.
Formerly two restaurants Duk and Pond have come together under the one name and are overseen by the original Patron, self taught chef Andrea Mellon. Her time in the travel industry providing inspiration from across the globe. Despite asking – I still have no idea where the name comes from. If you can, please enlighten me in the comments section.
Now, I admit that I am a huge fan of this style of eating. No matter what the cuisine. Put a selection of dishes down in front of me and I am as happy as the proverbial pig. A little of that, a spoonful of something else. Perfect. That said the menu at Dukpond is huge. Overwhelming. This is undoubtedly a bonus for a big group but for just myself, my other half and TKA there was, perhaps, a little too much choice. Since this was our first trip I may be jumping the gun but maybe fewer dishes on the menu and rotate them every couple of months? Just a thought.
As it happens – on this quiet Sunday afternoon we were in no rush. We were happy to take in the surroundings of warm yellows and reds and lots of dark wood, while we perused the menu.
We opted for Andrea's Famous Peruvian Stew, Lomo Lamb, Celias Potatoes, Chorizo & Black Pudding cooked in wine and port. B also had some Moroccan Hummus with Pitta Bread. The kitchen were also kind enough to cook up a plain chicken breast with some pitta bread for TKA.
Our waiter Mark was brilliant. Making sure there were no dietary requirements, talking us through some of the dishes and (after) giving us the recipe for the Celias Potatoes.
But what of the food? The stew was fantastically spicy but balanced with loads of fruity sweetness. I actually wanted the weather to be colder to feel the glow when I stepped back outside. I lifted the lamb shank from it's bowl of buttery, garlicky, herby sauce and the meat fell off the bone. Lip-smackingly good. The celias potatoes were creamy, cheesey and it was all we could do to stop TKA from scoffing the lot. The chorizo and black pudding was sweet and smokey and not too fiery – perfect since there was enough heat in the stew.
Oh and that stew. Plenty of it left (only due to my customary over ordering) so Mark kindly popped it into some takeaway containers and lunch the next day was sorted.
Thanks to Mark also for the complimentary bag of homemade confectionery as we left. Rocky Road, Cinder Toffee and "Dime" Bar. None survived the drive home.
So will I be back to to Dukpond? Almost certainly. That menu needs some serious exploration. This is tapas style dining but with influences from much further afield. So to the person who commented when I said I was going "Oh- the tapas place?" Well yes, but also a whole lot more. Fun and quirky and serious about the food. Oh and if anyone fancies going up for Sunday lunch then why not pre-order your carve at the table joint? And don't forget my invite.
Bit gutted I haven't been sooner. One down 44 to go.
Have you been? Something else I should've tried? Let me know in the comments section so that I can check it out next time.
2 Responses to Duk-Pond Preston
I haven't been since it was just Pond, but I loved it. Is the mushroom pepper pot still on the menu? If so, I would definitely give that a whirl if I were you!
