Australia's Health Funds are providing healthcare protection to over 13 million consumers.
Have you got Private Healthcare?
Come and join your fellow Australians who have wisely chosen better quality healthcare both for themselves and their families.
These families are making sure that they receive better quality healthcare – better cover – better access – better care – by being privately insured.
Over 13 million Australians can't be wrong
Our Private Healthcare Funds now cover millions of Australian consumers who know that ill-health can strike at any time.
They all know that it is better to be covered; that it is always better to be safe than sorry.
That's why millions of Australians rely on Private Healthcare.
In fact, over 55% of Australians now rely on Private Healthcare to protect themselves and their families.
About Private Health
Private health insurance is available for all Australians who wish to cover the costs of becoming a private patient. Being a private patient means you have more control in choosing your treating doctor in hospital and in some instances can reduce your waiting time for elective surgery by having treatment in a private hospital.
Private health insurance also offers cover for some or all of the costs of other services not covered by Medicare, such as ambulance services, dental, optical items, physiotherapy and a wide range of other services.
Here at Private Healthcare Australia, it isn't just about statistics and facts – it allows you to share your views and experiences and gives you all the information you need to make the right health insurance decisions.
We help explain all you need to know to make the most of Australia's great healthcare system.

How Health Funds Work
Private health insurance is provided through organisations registered under the Private Health Insurance Act 2007. The financial performance of registered health funds is monitored by the Private Health Insurance Administration Council (PHIAC), an independent Australian Government body, to ensure solvency and capital adequacy requirements are met.
Some health funds are listed as 'not-for-profit', this means it is a mutual organisation, with the premiums paid into the fund used to operate the business and cover benefits for members. 'For-profit' funds aim to return a profit to their owners (which may be another health fund or corporation) or shareholders. They are still required to maintain sufficient funds to operate the company and pay benefits to their members.
Health fund are registered as either an 'Open' or a 'Restricted' membership organisation:
- Open membership organisations provide policies to the general public.
- A restricted membership organisation provides policies only through specific employment groups, professional associations or unions.
Health Funds may operate in a particular state or some/all states and territories. Many funds operate mainly in a particular state or regional market. This means they may have a wider network of Agreement hospitals and health providers within that state or region. This is very important, because you are more likely to be covered for hospital fees if your hospital has an agreement with your fund.
Most larger funds will offer different policies for different states, or the same policies at different premiums. Differences in price are based on the variations in cost and benefit between states, and in some cases state government health arrangements.
Unlike other insurances, your premium is not affected by your age, health status or other risk factors. This is called community rating and it protects from having to pay higher premiums if you make a claim, or as you get older, or if you get sick.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leaves Washington for Turkey on Thursday, beginning a 12-day global diplomatic tour.
In Istandbul, she'll meet with leaders supporting the NATO effort to oust Libyan dictator Moammar Ghadafi.
On Wednesday, Clinton said she believed that Gadhafi's days in power "are numbered."
She also said Gadhafi associates were sending mixed messages about whether he would be willing to step down.
"We are still getting contradictory signals from Col. Gadhafi's camp," she told reporters at a joint news conference with visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. "He has yet to meet the red lines that are set by the international community to cease violence against his people, withdraw his forces and step down from power."
"So although neither of us can predict to you the exact day or hour that Gadhafi will leave power, we do understand and agree that his days are numbered," Clinton said.
Her visit to Turkey comes just one day after police in the Islamic country arrested 15 suspected al Qaeda militants.
Authorities believe they were planning an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Ankara.
Reports say the suspects had more than 1,500 pounds of bomb-making chemicals.
Clinton will meet Saturday with Turkish officials for talks that are expected to concentrate on Middle East peace efforts.
On Sunday, she travels to Greece for talks that are likely to be dominated by that country's financial crisis and Greek relations with Turkey.

Dr. May Wilson, a prominent and productive investigator of rheumatic fever for almost 50 years, has written this monograph as "a supplement, not a revision," of her earlier book published 20 years ago. Among the new data are long-term observations of survival and cardiac changes, studies of age susceptibility, serum protein constituents, and ecologic and genetic factors in rheumatic fever. Her current diagnostic and therapeutic techniques are completely described.
Dr. Wilson does not accept the validity of certain recent conceptual doctrines. Most other workers now believe that acute rheumatic fever is always part of the spectrum of complications triggered by Group A streptococcal infections in susceptible hosts and that continuous antimicrobial prophylaxis should be given indefinitely to all rheumatic patients. Dr. Wilson believes the initiating role of the streptococcus is "not as yet based on conclusive evidence," and prefers to treat streptococcal infections as they are discovered, since she regards

In the face of tragedy, next generation gives reason for hope
Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, will live in the minds and hearts of all of us. Many lives were changed forever. One of those was mine. Mine was changed because of a hero that showed up that day in my neighborhood right here in Woodinville.
On Thursday, Sept. 13, one of the fifth-grade classes at Wellington Elementary discussed what they could do to help the victims of the attack on Tuesday. The class discussed collecting money for the American Red Cross. Specific plans were not set though. That day, one of those students came home with a clear direction in his head.
He took out his CD player and a CD entitled "Sing America." He took this outside and set them up on a table he erected. Signs were made requesting donations for the Red Cross.
This normally stranger-shy child sat at the end of the family driveway playing "God Bless America" and "The Star Spangled Banner." He recruited his sister, Christine, to assist him in the endeavor.
They played the music as loud as it could be played. Many neighbors heard the blaring music. I was personally moved to patriotic tears. I was also moved to tears at what these children were doing, the goodness in their hearts ‹ the desire they had to make a difference, no matter how small.
The next day, a sign was outside the drive that said, "Thanks! Over $500 was collected." In the 2 1/2 hours they sat outside that Thursday, these kids had collected a considerable amount of money.
On Saturday, this boy awoke at 7 a.m., determined to set up again and increase the donations. He spent the entire day outside by his post. His sister joined him for much of that day. That day, they collected $260.
I witnessed this hero take a giant step toward manhood, even though he is only 10 years old. I witnessed a goodness that came so easily and with much conviction in a young man. I experienced how the desire to do the right thing can be so compelling that nothing else mattered.
This hero is my son, Brian Nafziger. I could not be more proud of the humanity he has shown. I could not be more proud of the commitment to the right thing that he showed. I could not be more proud of the example he set for all of us.
God bless America, and God bless this next generation that gives us such reason to hope.
Meg Nafziger, Woodinville

Messages were addressed to Inboxes, not processes. A process could, given the right capability, connect to more than one Inbox. A process could also detach an Inbox so that another process could start processing its messages. I don't know if there were any determinism issues. Most clients only used one Inbox, and those that had more than one used them for disjoint activities. We did it this way because of my bad experience with PVM message queues. There was only one queue per process, which made it hard to handle messages of different priorities. ________________________ Alan Karp Principal Scientist Virus Safe Computing Initiative Hewlett-Packard Laboratories 1501 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 (650) 857-3967, fax (650) 857-7029 https://ecardfile.com/id/Alan_Karp http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Alan_Karp -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Ariel Castro, 53, was found hanging in his cell around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient, a community located south of Columbus in central Ohio, JoEllen Smith, Department of Rehabilitation and Correction spokesman, said early Wednesday.
Prison medical staff performed CPR before Castro was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:52 p.m.
He was in protective custody because of the notoriety of his case, meaning he was checked every 30 minutes, but was not on suicide watch, Smith said. She said suicide watch entails constant observation.
Castro was also watched closely in Cuyahoga County Jail in the several weeks after his arrest and before his case was resolved by a guilty plea, with logs noting his activity every 10 minutes. He was taken off county jail suicide watch in early June after authorities determined he was not a suicide risk.
Castro's attorneys tried unsuccessfully to have a psychological examination of Castro done at the Cuyahoga County Jail, where Castro was housed before he was turned over to state authorities following his conviction, his attorney, Jaye Schlachet, told The Associated Press early Wednesday. Schlachet said he could not immediately comment further.
In an interview last month after Castro's conviction, Schlachet and attorney Craig Weintraub said their client clearly fit the profile of sociopathic disorder and that they hoped researchers would study him for clues that could be used to stop other predators.
The three women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. They escaped May 6, when Amanda Berry, one of the women, broke part of a door and yelled to neighbors for help.
"Help me," she said in a 911 call. "I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years and I'm, I'm here, I'm free now."
The two other women were so scared of Castro that they held back initially even as police officers began to swarm the house. But quickly they realized they were free.
"You saved us! You saved us!" another of the captives, Michelle Knight, told an officer as she leaped into his arms.
Castro was arrested that evening. He had also fathered a child with Berry while she was in captivity; that girl was 6 years old when freed. A judge rejected Castro's request to have visiting rights with his daughter.
Elation over the women's rescue soon turned to shock as details emerged about conditions of their captivity. Investigators say they were bound with chains, repeatedly raped and deprived of food and bathroom facilities. Knight told investigators she was beaten and starved several times to force her to miscarry.
Messages left for the women's lawyers were not immediately returned early Wednesday.
Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years on his guilty plea to 937 counts including kidnapping and rape.
Pastor Angel Arroyo, a friend of the family of Gina DeJesus (one of the kidnap survivors), said after learning of Castro's death, "He's a coward and took the easy way out." He would not comment on the family's reaction.

I learnt the art of knitting when I was about 5 years old. Even at that age I was never happy to follow a pattern, always wanting to try something different.
After a shoulder injury I found I couldn't knit anything heavy and out of sheer boredom I found myself knitting a bear. I didn't like the finished bear and thought I could do better myself so after a lot of frustrating frogging Huggable Bear was born.
I love creating these bears and other animals, or should I say watching them create themselves, no two are ever alike.
You may sell, raffle or donate any finished items created from any designs on this page.
Due to the digital nature of downloads, unfortunately no refunds will be given.
Find me here and join in the chat: http://www.knittingparadise.com/
I've been asked to design a Big Bear that is easy to dress and to design outfits for children to dress a bear. This is the result. Big Bear is a quick and easy knit because his legs and body are knitted as one piece, certainly makes putting him together a lot easier too.
This PDF/eBook includes instructions for Big Bear, very detailed making up instructions to guide you putting your bear together and a whole wardrobe out outfits for Big Bear. All outfits are knitted in Aran/worsted weight yarn apart from the Hooded Jacket, which is knitted in Chunky/bulky weight yarn. These outfits are a good stash buster!!
These include:
Pinafore dress
Sweat Pants/Joggers
Thick Hooded Jacket (chunky/bulky weight)
If you just want to knit Big Bear and not his outfits there is another pattern for Big Bear.
Big Bear is approximately 19 inches from head to toe. All the outfits are designed to fit Big Bear, please use weights stated or the outfits wont fit.

DawnWatch: Ben & Jerry's commits to egg producer changes -- NY Times and others 9/27/06
Ben & Jerry's has committed itself to abandoning its current egg supplier and phasing in the use of eggs that come from hens housed under higher welfare standards. That story is in a few papers today, Wednesday, September 27. Associated Press coverage means it is likely to be in more tomorrow.
The New York Times carries the story as part of Marian Burros's "Eating Well Notebook" on the front page of the Dining Section (F1). Burros heads the piece, "Et Tu, Ben and Jerry?" and writes:
"First Chicago banned the sale of foie gras. Then Whole Foods stopped selling live lobster. Now Ben and Jerry's has pledged not to use eggs that come from a farm that the Humane Society of the United States has accused of being cruel to its laying hens. Animal rights activists are on a roll. While they pursue high-profile cases they are also signing up farmers who, in exchange for taking a pledge to treat their animals humanely, are permitted to label their products 'Certified Humane. In its latest efforts on behalf of animals, the Humane Society has shamed Ben and Jerry's into changing to eggs from cage-free hens by calling the company hypocritical for criticizing 'giant industrial farming operations' on its Web site."
Canada's National Post tells us:
"Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc. said yesterday it would gradually move to using eggs from chickens that are not housed in cages. The decision was made after meetings this year with the Humane Society of the United States, it said. Because it will take time to line up suppliers of these eggs, the company said, the transition will be phased in over four years. 'Earlier this year, the Humane Society of the United States brought to our attention issues related to the treatment of egg-laying hens,' Rob Michalak, the company's director of social mission, said in a statement. The Humane Society says housing chickens in cages prevents them from behaving naturally." ( Pg. FP7)
Today's Associated Press piece gives more information:
"The Vermont ice cream maker will become the first national food manufacturer to require egg producers to allow their laying hens to live outside cages...
"The company agreed to the change after the Humane Society made an issue last month of the fact that Ben & Jerry's bought eggs from Michael Foods Inc., of Minnetonka, Minn., which couldn't guarantee its hens were being treated properly.....It called on Ben & Jerry's to stop buying eggs from Michael Foods, which the Humane Society said had hens dying of starvation, live hens living among dead ones and sick birds caught in cage wires.
And, "According to the Humane Society, 95 percent of the eggs produced in the United States come from egg producers that keep hens in tightly-packed cages known as batteries that are so cramped, the birds can't spread their wings.
On the new standards we read:
"Once the program is implemented, the eggs that Ben & Jerry's uses will come from hens that have nests, perches and dust bathing areas. 'It's a higher standard than merely cage-free,' Shapiro (HSUS) said."
You can learn more about the campaign and decision, and view footage of battery caged hens, at http://www.hsus.org/farm/news/ournews/ben_jerrys_victory.html
On a related note, last week we learned that the egg industry has agreed to permanently drop "Animal Care Certified" logos on egg cartons, replacing those labels with "United Egg Producers Certified," and to pay $100,000 to states for attorney fees, consumer education and other costs. The agreement was reached after animal rights groups revealed the horrendous conditions under which "Animal Care Certified" eggs were produced. You can learn more about that case, spearheaded by Compassion Over Killing, at http://www.cok.net/camp/acc/
You can send a letter to the New York Times, about the Ben & Jerry's announcement, at email@example.com
And Canadians should write to the National Post by going to http://tinyurl.com/85bvu
Please keep an eye out for the story in your local paper. It provides a perfect opportunity for letters that teach readers about the general plight of egg-laying hens. Don't hesitate to ask me for help if you cannot find the correct email address for a letter to you editor. And I am always happy to edit letters.
Always include your full name, address, and daytime phone number when sending a letter to the editor. Shorter letters are more likely to be published.

This small volume covers the subject of acute renal failure in a remarkably condensed and clear discussion. The pathology of tubular necrosis is described in terms of Oliver's recent studies. The discussions of physiological mechanisms, clinical course, and treatment follow standard current views. The prophylactic treatment in terms of maintenance of circulatory and electrolyte status is appropriately emphasized. Intermittent peritoneal dialysis is given preference among the artificial measures in substituting for renal function. The indications for the use of artificial measures are limited to the treatment for general edema from overhydration, pulmonary edema from left ventricular failure or other causes, high serum potassium concentration, and severe acidosis or intoxication by diffusible drugs. Full details are given for the procedure and the type of solution used in irrigation.
The bibliography is adequate although largely limited to the last ten years.

WASHINGTON -- With his popularity falling and public opposition to massive health care reform slipping, President Barack Obama is preparing to take the bully-pulpit in an effort to seal the deal. But he will have to be convincing to get some members of his own party back on board.
Tough Road Ahead
Protestors at a recent town hall on health care shouted, "Stay out of my business! Stay out of my health care!"
It's the scene that has dominated the month of August and the message that is winning when it comes to health care reform.
Whether it is cost, fear of health care rationing or too much government control, lawmakers have gotten an earful this summer. On Tuesday, they head back to Capitol Hill - and even some Democrats are returning with new found opposition to the bill on the table. Moderates are concerned about the trillion dollar price tag on the House legislation, while others just do not feel comfortable with the bill as it is written. In an effort to stop the downward spiral, the president will address a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, just one day after lawmakers get back to work.
"Now it's time to close the deal," said White House Senior Advisor David Axelrod.
Obama is expected to lay out his vision for health care - specifically what should be included in legislation and what he's comfortable leaving out. Lawmakers who support the president's plans are practically begging for tough leadership on the issue. "This is make-or-break time for President Obama on health care, because the public has turned so sour and he's got a divided Congress," said former presidential advisor David Gergen.
The president is also up against weakening popularity. His approval ratings have fallen more sharply than any other new president and that could affect his ability this fall to get any legislation passed. If he can hold on to the Democratic lawmakers votes, the White House is signaling it is willing to go ahead with the health care legislation with or without GOP support. The decision comes after two key Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., harshly criticized the president's plans. Still, one thing is certain. As the debate continues to play out, Americans will be watching.

They have collected boxes full of gold medals, broken countless records and built some of the most impressive resumes in New Jersey scholastic track and field history.
But there's one thing missing for Clayton Parros of Seton Hall Prep, Josh Evans of Irvington, Ugonna Ndu of Union and Robby Andrews of Manalapan: an outdoor Meet of Champions title.
High school track in New Jersey is a sport filled with large events as athletes compete at conference, county, state and national meets throughout the spring season. But Wednesday's Meet of Champions -- which brings together the top finishers from last weekend's state meets for the six public and non-public classifications -- is the event where athletes are measured for their spot in state history.
Parros, who was invited to compete against professionals at the Millrose Games last winter and is one of the top 400-meter runners in the country, is eager to make up for his second-place finish a year ago, when he was a junior.
"I've been waiting a year for this moment to come around again," he said. "It's very important for me to win one. I can't stop thinking about it. It's always been one of my biggest goals and now the time is here."
Parros will get his chance Wednesday afternoon at Frank Jost Field in South Plainfield. He also will get a chance to avenge his 2008 defeat as Parros again goes up against Plainfield's Isaiah Gill in a rematch that is the most anticipated battle of the day.
"I think having each other to run against will make this a very fast race," Parros said. "Hopefully we can get the state record or close to it."
Andrews doesn't need a record. After all, he already holds the national indoor mark in the 800, set last winter when he won at the national indoor meet. But Andrews feels not having a state outdoor title is a void in his career.
"I'm proud of my times and what I've accomplished, but it would be nice to have some kind of title outdoors," he said. "New Jersey is such a great running state. If you can win here it means you can probably win in the majority of all the other states."
New Jersey's track history is filled with some of the all-time greats in the sport. But if you think they dominate the 40-year roll call of Meet of Champions winners, think again.
Carl Lewis, considered by many to be the greatest track athlete of all time, has just two Meet of Champions titles. He won the 100 and the long jump while competing for Willingboro in 1979. By comparison, he has nine Olympic gold medals.
Renaldo Nehemiah, one of the greatest hurdlers ever, won just one Meet of Champions title, capturing the high hurdles for Scotch Plains-Fanwood in 1976.
Joetta Clark is perhaps the only famous Jersey Olympian who also dominated at the Meet of Champions, winning four straight outdoor 800 titles for Columbia from 1977-80.
Clark does not, however, have the record for the most Meet of Champions outdoor titles -- that mark goes to Jodie Bilotta of North Hunterdon, who won an amazing eight (including three in one meet) between 1985-88.
Eight is great, but one will be more than enough for Union's Ndu.
"I've worked so hard for this and thought I had a chance at winning last year, but things didn't go the way I hoped," she said.
Ndu is favored in two events Wednesday -- the 400 hurdles (an event in which she has the fastest time in the country this spring) and the 100 hurdles.
"This is my last chance and I definitely want to leave my mark," she said.
So does Evans.
Known more for his ability on the football field -- he will play for defending national champion Florida this fall -- Evans realizes a victory in the 110 hurdles will mean a lot to his community. Irvington has never had an outdoor Meet of Champions winner.
"Hopefully I'll be the first and bring it back to Irvington," he said. "There are lots of young people that look up to me when I'm playing football or running track, so every time I go out there I want to make them and everyone in Irvington proud."

OK first thing.. you switch diets way too fast. One week is not long enough for your body to adjust and for you to start seeing results. Your body was probably not used to eating meat I gather.. or it could have been eggs?? Your gut needs to build up more bacteria to digest it. This takes time. So its best to slowly increase the amount of foods that you haven't been eating.
Your question is incredibly general. There is no question that humans thrive on animal products, we have for a millenia, and there is compelling evidence that our brains got bigger when we started consuming more meat. They even did bone analysis on our ancestors and found them all to have eaten meat. It's clearly what we have evolved to thrive on. There are also some things like Vit B12 that you can only get from animal products. Animal products contain a lot of good fat and protein without any anti-nutrients that are found in beans. That is really high level.. I suggest reading the primal blueprint

IN THE LAST several years, particularly since the publication of The Mental Hospital, by Stanton and Schwartz, there has been an increased interest in studying the ways in which various aspects of the sociocultural field of the psychiatric ward are related to the clinical course of mentally ill patients. This paper is a report of further studies of the relationship between the attitudinal climate of the ward and the clinical course of patients.
Stanton and Schwartz, Caudill, Tudor, and others have indicated that staff conflicts concerning organizational hierarchy, status, and power can cause covert tension.1-3 These authors have concluded that such tension at times appears to cause exacerbations of disturbed behavior in patients. Caudill has observed the occurrence of "ground swells" of health or illness on wards and has suggested that a source of such group exacerbations of illness might rest in the

Denali National Park is larger than the state of Massachusetts. It is also one of the world's last great frontiers for wilderness adventure. Mt. McKinley, North America's highest peak at 20,320 feet, is located in the park and is known to locals by its Athabascan name "Denali," or "the high one". Its impressive vertical relief of 18,000 feet is even greater than that of Mount Everest! Denali National Park is located 238 miles north of Anchorage and 120 miles south of Fairbanks. With the exception of a few lodges in the park, most of the hotels and activities are found at the park entrance, including opportunities for hiking, river rafting and helicopter flightseeing tours.
Scheduled bus tours into Denali are the best way to enjoy the park's wildlife and scenery as private vehicles are not permitted past Mile 15 of the 95 mile park road. Bus tours should be booked early, as space is very limited! Choices vary from a 4-hour Natural History tour, 6-7 hour Tundra Wilderness Tour, or full day guided tour to Kantishna.

Parti Quebecois Leader Pauline Marois is refusing to rule out an independence referendum in the first mandate of a majority government.
The PQ leader had her stock answer even before being repeatedly asked during a televised leaders' debate Thursday whether there will be a sovereignty referendum if the PQ is re-elected April 7.
"You know that Mr. (Liberal Leader Philippe) Couillard, in order to have people forget the Liberal years, would have you believe that this election is being fought on the issue of another referendum," she said in her opening statement.
"False. There will be no referendum as long as Quebecers are not ready."
But in her news conference following the debate, Marois was asked if a referendum is possible in the next mandate if she deems Quebecers are ready.
"It's clear," she answered. "The election is about choosing a government. When Quebecers are ready, we will consult them."
In a follow-up question, she was asked whether Quebecers could be ready in a first majority mandate.
"It's an evaluation that will be made after exchanges that we might have had together."
The referendum issue is a delicate one for Marois.
Polls repeatedly suggest that a majority of Quebecers do not want another vote on the province's political future.
But, just like many previous PQ leaders who couldn't be seen to be alienating hardline sovereigntists in the party, Marois can't afford to categorically say there won't be one.
Marois reiterated that a PQ government would launch an extensive consultation period with Quebecers before making any decision to send them to the ballot box to vote on creating a country.
The Liberals and the PQ are locked in a virtual tie, according to most polls, and Couillard's basic strategy in the debate was clear: cast the PQ as a party that fosters political uncertainty at the expense of economic prosperity.
"The choice is clear," he said. "Do you want to elect the Parti Quebecois, which will prepare another referendum, or a Liberal government that will attend to the economy, jobs, education and health?
"With the PQ, Quebec lost 66,800 full-time jobs in 2013 and what is Madame Marois doing? She's building a team with another referendum in mind."
Another topic that surfaced in the debate, which also featured the Coalition's Francois Legault and Francoise David of Quebec Solidaire, was the PQ's plan to introduce a controversial charter of values.
Marois made it clear a PQ majority government would push ahead with the legislation, which would prevent public-sector employees from wearing religious clothing and symbols on the job.
The PQ leader got off one of the best lines of the night when Couillard asked her how many women would lose their jobs because of the charter.
"Mr. Couillard, there's only one single woman I've seen lose her job in Quebec _ and that's Fatima Houda-Pepin because you expelled her from caucus."
Couillard recently dumped Houda-Pepin, the only Muslim woman in the legislature, after she opposed the Liberals' position on the charter.
Although the charter has divided Quebecers, Marois is hoping it will attract support from many small-c conservatives who can help the PQ win ridings currently held by the Coalition.
Legault, whose party is struggling in opinion polls, said his government would do "great things" for Quebec, reduce taxes for the middle class and manage public funds in a more responsible manner.
"Quebec needs to start over, move forward," said Legault, who has admitted he is fighting the battle of his life. "I refuse to give up. I am convinced that we can do great things.
"The Parti Quebecois and the Liberals, since the beginning of the campaign, have talked about a referendum. In my opinion, they are disconnected from your reality."
Francoise David, whose leftist Quebec Solidaire has two seats in the 125-member assembly, spoke about the importance of more equality in the province.
"For the past 40 years, two parties (the Liberals and the PQ) have formed the government. Isn't it time to look elsewhere? Isn't it time to choose Quebec Solidaire?"
The sharpest exchanges of the night came between the front-running Marois and Couillard.
One surfaced when Couillard attacked Marois for not forcing media magnate Pierre Karl Peladeau to sell his Quebecor shares now that he is a PQ candidate.
Couillard stressed that Peladeau's decision to put his assets in a blind trust is insufficient given the control he exercises over much of Quebec's media.
"Freedom of the press is not a normal business," Couillard said. "I think you should have displayed more authority and more judgment and told Mr. Peladeau to divest himself of all his shares before entering politics."
That raised Marois's hackles.
"As for judgment, let's not go there," Marois fired back, with Couillard immediately interjecting: "I've got no lessons to take from you on that score."
But Marois wasn't finished.
"I think you could be more careful in your comments," she said. "The last few days have not seen you at your most honourable."
Marois was referring, in particular, to Couillard's comment on Wednesday that the PQ leader would be "in for it" if she resorted to personal attacks during the debate.
The leaders discussed four topics: the economy; social issues such as education; public finances and integrity; and identity and the national question.
The debate was considered key because a large segment of the electorate was expected to tune in ahead of the election.
Although Marois had initially said she would participate in only one debate, she and the other leaders will face off again next week on TVA, the Peladeau-owned television network.

HTC Butterfly S now official with Snapdragon 600 and massive battery
0. phoneArena 19 Jun 2013, 02:58 posted on
Right on cue, the HTC Butterfly S was presented on stage today during the company's press event in Taiwan. And as the "S" in its title suggests, that's an upgraded variant of last year's HTC Butterfly, packing a faster processor, Ultrapixel camera, and a much, much larger battery. How large, you ask? Well, HTC has managed to stuff a 3200mAh cell inside the Butterfly S. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the handset is thicker (10.6mm) and heavier (160 grams) than its predecessor due to the space taken up by the larger battery...

HTC is the most idiot company ever seen.
They produce 4 flagship phones at the same time and make their customers lost and regretted to buy HTC products.
They should change their marketing strategy.
29. Reverence (Posts: 224; Member since: 16 Jul 2012)
without a doubt...i mean whats the point of launching htc one if butterfly s was coming
46. techspace (Posts: 1036; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
i think that the htc one was important for marketing and preventing many people from buying the galaxy s4
....aluminium body was the htc one's selling point
i have noticed that htc is trying to make two flagships every year...
samsung makes two flagships every year the galaxy s series phone and a note...
now htc has two flagships...a 4.7 inch phone and a 5 inch phone...
htc one x------> htc one
original butterfly/dna-------> this year's butterfly/dna
it doesn't make sense because neither of the two is a phablet but htc has two good phones...
i think they felt that one flagship wasn't enough especially because samsung is selling many high end phones...
now if htc make a phablet, they would have 3 flagships.

HTC Butterfly S - for the geek

huge screen, huge battery, SD slot, integrated stylus

This phone won't be released worldwide, the One is still the flagship, i find rather amusing that people forget Samsung made 4 Galaxy S4 variants, by that same logic Samsung backstabbed people who bought the SIII when they released the Note II as it was faster, better and with a bigger battery.
102. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Clueless HTC fanboyism at it's best. There are a few HUGE differences between your really weak analogy and reality.
One, the HTC One and this is pretty much the same size and in the same category while the Note 2 is another beast entirely. It has a wacom digitizer too boot. Of course it doesn't surprise me how unobservant you HTC fan boys are.
Two, Samsung is known for that strategy because they make everything from cameras to tvs to mp3 players etc. You know they are going to release multiple variants and they do not promise anything else. HTC however, promised that the HTC One was going to be their one and only flagship. Hence the One name. Galaxies are infinite almost while One is just one. Of course you HTC fanboys do not have the brains to analyze it properly. Why am I not surprised. LOL
109. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Re-read my comment and maybe you will understand it this time, THIS PHONE WILL NOT BE RELEASED WORLDWIDE. Implying someone doesn't have a brain for liking HTC only shows how closed minded and shallow you are. Oh, and just by the way i just bought a One which should be arriving next week, am i brainless for buying whatever i like?
73. Commentator (Posts: 3692; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Just like how Nokia makes 3 different flagships at the same time with practically no difference between them and gives them each arbitrary, potentially confusing names in the 900-range.
77. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
So far there's only been two, the One and the Butterfly S. We also expect the T6 phablet to launch later this year, but that is a niche device.
I wouldn't call the Butterfly S a flagship though; it's a device for those who held back on the One because of the smaller battery, smaller display, slightly slower processor, and lack of expandable storage in comparison to the GS4.
It's more of a filler device to get a broader spectrum on the market, just like Samsung does with the Galaxy S and Note series.
103. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
LOL It is entirely different. Read my post to the other HTC loser.
81. b1acktiger (Posts: 223; Member since: 19 May 2012)
Butterfly is made for Asia markets. Japan, Taiwan, China, India particularly. For now, its not going to hit europe and US.
What would you call between Sony Xperia Z and ZR ? 720p+4.6" and 1080p+5" phone ? Samsung Galaxy S4 and Note 3 ? LG Optimus G and G Pro ? Nokia 920 and 925 ? Good low light camera and better camera than 920 ?
24. rantao333 (Posts: 322; Member since: 21 May 2013)
compare to s4, i think butterfly s wins hand-down
1. 2600mah vs 3200 mah - butterfly s miles ahead
2. both have expandable memory slot - tie
3. both plastic --> some say "scratch resistant, shock absorb" - tie
4. design - butterfly s
5. touch wiz vs sense - tie
6. back speaker vs front speaker - butterfly s
7. blink feed - butterfly s
8. screen - personal preference
9. performance - tie
10. price - s4, giving that s4 16gb non-lte only sell $580 here. (drop too fast for sammy phone)
49. saffant (Posts: 274; Member since: 04 Jul 2011)
What about the UI features? TW destroys sense when it comes to those.
What about weight? Thickness?
You're considering make-belief criterias as "blink feed"... how apt a category is that.
That's like someone considering S-Beam as a category when compare S4 and HTC phones..
57. Synack (Posts: 677; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Are you kidding me!?
Sense 5.0 destroys Touchwiz, no lag at all.
66. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
Lol@ Sense.
If you want a phone without any future support, buy an HTC.
Design is also a personal preference.
I dont see why it matters where the speaker is and I wouldnt even consider it buying a phone as long as its audible.
Battery wise, even the GS4 with the battery it has, it lasts all day anyway. But we have the option to either stay slim or get a larger battery if we need to. So technically both have a pro and a con battery wise. Sure you have 3200mah, but they do wear out and need to be replaced. Usually after the first year depending on how you store your phone and charge it.
Im going to assume blink feed is a feature using blinking gestures... What about the GS4 features?
74. roldefol (Posts: 4259; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
"Im going to assume blink feed is a feature using blinking gestures..."
And I'm going to assume TouchWiz is a little wizard that pops up when you touch the screen. So Windows 95.
86. wrm2013 (Posts: 203; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
Phones aren't optimized for future updates. Hence why they never perform the way they did after the update. I don't need a android os update on my HTC one that will no doubt eat my memory and lag my phone.

LOL mate do some research tw is the most feature packed ui ever and is the most advanced ......sense is nothing compared to tw
75. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Because of those features Touchwiz lags like hell. That's what he meant when he said that Sense 5 had no lag at all, which is true and can't be said for the GS4 which lags all around the interface.
82. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
I guess you have never used touchwiz in its present form. Lags like hell? Even if it did lag, how would 1 millisecond be lag? In touchwiz you can decide how fast you want your touches to be predicted. You can make it instant or make it pause for as long as you want it to. It's default setting is a short pause. You can set it to 4x faster if you want to...
You wouldnt know about that because youre using sense right?
89. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
whether there's a remedy for the lag or not the reality is that side by side with Sense 5 on the same magnitude, with the same settings Sense 5 outperforms the current iteration of TW and besides changing the touch scales removes the animations from TW meaning that Sense 5 is on a smoothness level as TW without the fluff from animations so Sense 5 would have more visual eye candy over TW and the animations are pretty nice, i know because i'm using Sense 5 right now.
91. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I'm using a GS3 right now, and it's very smooth. But, on the GS4, it does lag frequently. Unlocking it results in lag, switching between tasks lags sometimes, loading up the gallery lags often, etc. I've used the GS4, it lags; it's not Touchwiz in general, I should have specified that it was Touchwiz on the GS4 that lags, not the GS3.
93. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, i never would've thought that TW on the S4 was going to be laggy if my experience with SIII's has been any indication. performance is something i didn't think i'd have to complain about from Samsung. o:

Neither did I, but apparently they did such a terrible job optimizing the software not even a Snapdragon 600 @ 1.9 GHz and 2 GB of DDR3 memory couldn't help it. Meanwhile, the One and Optimus G Pro with a 1.7 GHz S600 and DDR2 RAM run perfectly.
But there's so many features! - Samsung

I just sold my gs3. It was terrible. Using instagram and internet my memory was at 1.4 used. It lagged at everything it did.I now have a HTC one and couldn't imagine owning a galaxy phone in it's current form.
101. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Really? I never had problems like that. The only time I have ever made my GS3 lag is when I was web browsing with 3 tabs open and switching between 2 other apps in the background, and even then it was very slight, much less than what would've happened if I did the same thing on my old GS2.

That battery capacity was completely unexpected for something other than a Motorola device or a phablet.
I would hope Verizon picks this up as a DNA+ or 2. My family had a pretty bad experience with T-Mobile customer service, so we're most likely going to switch to Verizon as soon as our contracts are over, and I would love to get this phone.
87. wrm2013 (Posts: 203; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
What happen with tmobile?
92. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
One of the phones on our plan (a Galaxy S Blaze) was defective, it's been replaced 4 times so far (all the replacements are refurbished), so obviously by then it's apparent that the defects aren't by chance, there's obviously something wrong with the phone. We asked if they could allow that one line to upgrade to a new phone, but they said no. They gave us 2 options, buy a new phone at full price, or get another refurbished replacement, even though the phone has been replaced 4 times already.
Also, we had an unused 5th line on our plan, so we asked them to take off all the extra features that were on that one line like the handset protection, unlimited texting, etc. (we still wanted the line active because we're going to use it soon), but somewhere along the process they somehow pushed ALL of our contracts to end in August of 2014 instead of September of this year. I don't even know how they managed that.
94. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
wow, i can't believe you said that.
my friend on T-Mobile had a very similar problem yesterday.
he wanted to switch his line over to a prepaid line but he found out that upgrading one line on his family plan some months ago resulted in all of the line's contracts being renewed.
he was able to get them to reverse it but still, that's pretty screwed up.
95. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
We haven't got it to reverse. We spent about 2 hours on the phone with customer service and they didn't do anything, we even went to a T-Mobile store a couple weeks ago to try and settle it in person, the rep there said he couldn't do anything. So now it's either pay off the ETF for 5 lines or wait until August 2014.

Wonder how the HTC One owners feel right now. They just bought their device and here is he next HTC flagship with faster performance, bigger screen, bigger battery, micro SD slot and of course all the One goodies, Boom Sound, front facing speakers, UltraPixels, and unlike the One, Android 4.2 out of the box. But what else is new? Butterfly owners felt the same with the One arrival, the One X+ owners with the Butterfly, One X owners with the One X+.
3. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i wouldn't call this a flagship device.
6. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
What would you call HTC's fastest device yet?
10. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
an upgrade to a handset belonging to one of HTC's other lines. the fact that it's clocked higher is only because it has the battery capacity to justify it.
25. wendygarett (unregistered)
Calling a fastest device a flagship is like calling gnote 2 Samsung flagship dumb dumb, it's designed for someone who crave an sd slot yet refuse to buy Samsung products... Unfortunately, like SAE says, he rather compromises for a greater unibody design...
8. TechBizJP08 (Posts: 495; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
I think its just the same. Performance will may be different but not much. It's only over clocked. But all in all its just the same.
Unlike the Galaxy S4 flavors have almost 3 SOC variants and may be too much confusing. IMO
11. EXkurogane (Posts: 863; Member since: 07 Mar 2013)
Just 6-7 months after the butterfly came out now they intro the @ss upgrade already. Who knows maybe this year end we'll see Butterfly S2. Though this time battery is a lot bigger, with SD slot,
18. amro99 (Posts: 105; Member since: 29 Nov 2012)
Calm down dude, I'm sure not many markets will see this phone. This is particularly targeted for markets in which the original butterfly has been very successful like Japan. And it does make a lot of sense to introduce a successor to a successful product, particularly with almost same design and name!
27. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
I'm very disappointed with their strategy. I'm a fan of HTC but I hope they'd release devices yearly like Apple with their iPhone(not iPad which was released 6 months after its predecessor)
39. KParks23 (Posts: 621; Member since: 13 Oct 2010)
They have nothing to complain about in the US this phone will NEVER be on att sprint or tmobile hopefully this is the vzw device we been waiting for!

So sad they have bought htc one X(
48. jaychildz (Posts: 129; Member since: 31 May 2013)
IM STILL GOING TO GO GET THAT One FROM BEST BUY FOR $75 TODAY
88. wrm2013 (Posts: 203; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
I bought the HTC one because I didn't want the 5.0 gs4 and in my opinion the screen isn't on the same level. The keyboard imo is also waay better than the gs4s. People complaining about expandable memory, lol, those are the people who bought a 120g iPod. There's no reason why you need that much memory.
4. PermanentHiatus (Posts: 267; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
If this is Verizon's beefed up version of the HTC One, I totally forgive them for the delay.
60. roldefol (Posts: 4259; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
If they really want to make up for the delay, they should sell both phones. One as the One and the Butterfly
63. roldefol (Posts: 4259; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
...as the Droid DNA+.
5. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
BTW this is the perfect smartphone IMO. Still the One X / SIII size with tolerable thickness - and tolerable it is considering the awesome battery it packs - thin bezels, fullHD 5" screen, those speakers... I bet repairability will be good too. Might consider getting one of these though my eyes are set on the Lumia EOS and Sony Honami.
104. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Doesn't work that way. lol. Once you up the thickness to 10.7mm it is no longer the One X/GS3 size, it becomes huge. Even the really short Lumia 920 is HHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE because of it's thickness. This thing is going to be ridiculously big beating the Lumia 920 in all dimensions including thikness. Maybe not weight though. I still have no idea how the Lumia 920 is heavier than the Note. ROFL
7. darkskoliro (Posts: 1076; Member since: 07 May 2012)
Oh wow they totally addressed the battery issue....
Now what happened why not S800 with a later release date :(
9. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Yeah that's interesting. I look forward to the SD800 cause it's perfect for downclocking. It'd match whatever SD600 can do even at 1.5GHz and would give much better battery life.
14. tech2 (Posts: 3458; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
That actually is a very good idea !
30. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Are you gonna upgrade to the butterfly s? As a first gen butterfly owner, I am really sad to see my phone get old within just a couple of months
35. darkskoliro (Posts: 1076; Member since: 07 May 2012)
same, and I wont be upgrading anytime soon. I actually didnt find the S600 that future proof, when S800 is right around the corner and smashes the 600. But yet again, I am actually glad to see a 3200mah battery, because this means that when I need to upgrade my phone, I can trust that htc will produce a phone with a large battery as well. Considering the fact that I think this phone is region specific? Its a glass half full.
36. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
I'm happy to see that they're finally stepping up with battery life and while they decided to go with 600 and not 800, I don't care very much. I even find the snapdragon s4 to be fast enough

(76% semillon from the Monte Rosso vineyard and 24% muscadelle from Pagani Ranch): Green-gold. Pungent aromas of pear skin, tangerine, bee pollen and jasmine, with a gingery overtone. Deeply pitched but light on its feet, offering broad citrus pith and orchard fruit flavors and a sexy floral quality. Closes with very good clarity and nervy, spicy persistence. This reminded me a lot of a northern Rhone (non-viognier) white wine.

I had the privilege of keeping watch over a four month old today. It forced me to slow down... to clean out my desk... to watch Oprah with the delicious smell of baby powder mixed with formula swirling around my head.
I snapped this photo right after she fell asleep. Looks kind of perfect, doesn't it? The cozy blanket, the chubby cheeks... you can almost hear an audible sigh.
And yet, if I hadn't cropped that photo, you'd see even more of my faded couch. You'd see shavings from a rabbit cage all over the floor. (Yeah for us! Pip won the class pet by a "hare".)
You'd see TV remotes and coffee cups. You'd see magazines, art supplies, and carelessly strewn couch pillows.
I'm not saying we're pigs around these here parts, but we're not perfect. We're humans. We are a big slice of running late/can't find the ballet shoes/woops left my car unlocked so got my purse stolen/oh no out of milk again/really did you just say that, Stink/sorry to disappoint you again, Pip/Rex I HAVE NO IDEA where I left your keysSHUT UP ABOUT IT life pie.
It was only in sitting with Baby V... in that stillness... that I realized, truly, what I've been fighting against this past year. It wasn't just loneliness. It wasn't depression. It wasn't anger, or Tourettes or writing angst. It was not my marriage or my body or my home or my bank account.
It was my desire for perfection. Even though logically I knew/know I can't have it, I want it. And that's about as crazy as thinking that Baby V is going to sleep EXACTLY when I want her to because I have a column to post.
To borrow a term from an art salon I hosted a few months back, life is really about Wabi Sabi. This is a Japanese term that means finding beauty in imperfection.
For lack of a more spiritual term - DUH.
That's what has been missing!
That is what I long for!
A word and a name for what my soul has been dying to sing about but couldn't quite put my finger on.
And now I know.
And I can't turn back.
That's what I want my blog to be about. That's my book. And most importantly, that is going to be my life goal. Every. Single. Day.
If I could wake my children up right this moment, I would beg them for forgiveness. For putting up with a cranky, sullen, and funny only in bursts, Mommy.
Somewhere, along the way, I found God (Thank God) but I I lost my verve. I lost my humor. I lost my blog. I lost me.
But now I'm back - soon with a new name.
I'm so ready to Wabi Sabi my way into June.
What are your perfect imperfections? Who's ready to embrace the crazy insanity that makes up our wonderful, insane, BEAUTIFUL lives!
(And on a totally selfish, self-absorbed note, what do you think of a blog called "Wabi Sabi Mommy" where my posts are similar to the ones I already write, but with a focus on the chaos that makes life fun? Is that name too long? Thanks for your input.)

Boxing includes heavy bag(15 min.), double end bag(15 min.) , uppercut bag(15 min.), sparring(4-6 rounds), speed bag(10 min.), jump rope(15 min.), and shadow boxing(2-3 rounds). Please help me figure out if I should cut something from my diet in order to lose weight faster.
1. Oats(50 g.), flax seed(1 tbsp)., water(1 cup)
2. Smoothie: Carrot(1), Celery(1), Broccoli(50 g.), Parsley(50 g.), Spinach(50 g.), Strawberries(5), Kiwi(1), Grapes (200 g.)
3. Plain Yogurt(200 g.)
4. Eggs(2), olive oil(1 tsp.)
5. Chicken breast(200 g.), olive oil(1 tbsp.), frozen vegetable mix(150 g.), white rice or brown rice(100 g.)
6. Beans(150 g.), Corn(1/2 piece)
7. Air popped popcorn kernels(75 g.), Almonds (40 g.), Cherries (200 g.), Banana (1)

You're eating too many carbohydrates with meals. If you are having Veggie Mix with your lunch. You don't really need the rice
I'm not sure what to make of the breakfast. Do you eat ALL the stuff listed or just one of the various meals listed under the numbers?
Yogurt is high in carbohydrates and sugars so I would cut that out.
For a breakfast I'd do a 4 Egg Omelette with your vegetables in there + your flax oil and maybe some oatmeal, but I wouldn't eat more than 1/2 cup of oatmeal.
If you are going to have a smoothie, I'd have that as a snack option. I'd also invest in some whey protein. Which you could also have in your smoothie or simply have the whey + some Almonds for a snack.
I'd get some kind of lean protein in with your dinner like maybe a piece of Fish like Tilapia or Flounder.
Drink Plenty of Water. I'd try to get 1 1/2 gallons per day. Green Tea is a staple when I'm cutting. Definitely keep doing that. I'd look into getting some Green Tea Extract pills that you can take with your meals.
Coffee is also something you could throw in for speeding things up since it has caffeine.
Make sure you are spreading your meals out too. Every 3 hours is what I normally do

The Seattle Mariners already pulled off the one big deal they had planned to make leading up to Major League Baseball's trading deadline. The Mariners traded away Cliff Lee for one of the best offensive prospects in the game in Justin Smoak (plus other prospects).
Yet, the Mariners are unlikely finished with their trading deadline work. Seattle is 39-60 and assuredly out of the buyer's market. Yet there are deals within the current roster the Mariners should consider as they look to the future built around Smoak and Felix Hernandez. The Mariners have the pieces, it's a matter of finding the right buyer.

The state of Missouri executed convicted murdered Herbert Smulls Wednesday night, nearly 24 hours after his original execution date.
Smulls, 56, was put on death row for killing a St. Louis jewelry store owner during a robbery in 1991. Smulls also injured the jeweler's wife.
He was originally sentenced to die Tuesday, but the U.S. Supreme Court granted him a stay of execution after his attorneys argued the state should disclose the compounding pharmacy providing the lethal injection drug.
NBC News reports the appeals failed, and Smulls was pronounced dead at 10:20 p.m. Central Time, less than two hours before his execution warrant would have expired.
The NBC report, found here, claims Missouri noted Smulls already lost several challenges to his conviction and sentence. One of the defense's arguments was the trial was unfair because there were only white people on the jury.
The Associated Press reports Smulls brought a 15-year-old accomplice to the 1991 robbery.

If this pans out it is very exciting news. A Shen & Zhao program to Meditation sounds breathtaking!
If this pans out it is very exciting news. A Shen & Zhao program to Meditation sounds breathtaking!
If it happens.
I got a bit of a start when the link came up, tho; I saw the headline in combination with the heads of those two bizarre Olympic mascots (had to scroll down to get S & Z in the picture) and I'm thinking, OK, that is NOT Shen & Zhao unless they have joined a really bizarre ice show.....
Does anybody think they might compete beyond 2007 or is this season their swan song?
Can't wait. Hope they both stay healthy. I can only imagine what they are capable of now. They did very well in Turin after being back in pairs training for only 3 months.
Wow, I thought they'd get the SOI gig and take it.
I am glad Shen/Zhou are returning mostly because I would really like to see Pang/Tong win Worlds beating both Shen/Zhou and Zhang/Zhang this coming year. Sorry I just have developed a soft spot for that team since they are the forgotten Chinese team alot, and their Worlds win catching alot of people out of the blue was great to see. Plus I think they were jobbed at the Olympics so that is worth my support for atleast another year.
This is great news!!!
They were missed last season ... can't wait to see their new programs!
WOW, very happy to hear these news!!! Shen & Zhao has been my biggest favourite in pairs skating quite some time.
Have to wonder, tho, if they're getting some prodding from the Chinese federation. Seems to me I read somewhere that they wanted to leave the eligible scene after SLC, but the Chinese federation would not even entertain the idea and prodded them to stick around 4 more years. (I didn't read this recently, it was not long after SLC, and if I could remember WHERE I read it, I would be more than glad to track it down and quote from it). Then again, given their "derailment" of the last couple of seasons, they may think now that they have some unfinished business. But whatever the reason, it's great news and good for Pairs in general.
I was hoping they would join the US SOI tour this coming season , but I will continue to cheer for them as my favorite eligible international pairs team .
If they can still hold on to the "pas de deux" feeling in their Pairs, I am with them, but in that style they have, imo, a tough team to beat: Pang and Tong!! Not to overlook expected improvements from Marcoux and Buntin.
Chengjiang Li has just about outright said that he will retire when he is told he can. I think it's the same situation with Shen/Zhao.
Yay! I can't wait to see Shen/Zhao next season!!!!
As someone else said, I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to do this one last season since they were unable to participate at the last 2 World's.
Perhaps, they did want to go pro after SLC Wouldn't be surprised if their federation applied some pressure since the other Chinese teams weren't quite 'there', yet.
However, I think there was more for them to do after SLC. If they had retired/gone pro, we wouldn't have seen their breakthrough performance in DC in 2003. They really didn't have the 'expression' in their skating til after SLC.
I absolutely love this team, but I have mixed feelings about this news. What if he cripples himself trying for one more year? I'd rather they tried for a very long pro career. It's their choice (I hope) and I will be cheering for them. I just hope they stay healthy!

It pains us to say it, but Pete Doherty has been unleashed on society again. At least this time it's just in a video where he gets beat down.
Plus new songs from Kylie Minogue and the Verve!
Plus: Music from Radiohead and Sondre Lerche!
Plus: Mike Skinner covers Elton John! No, we don't know why!
We can't believe it either.
Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, and more!
Blur, Justice, and Supergrass!
Famously druggie Ex-Libertines front man and Kate Moss beau Pete Doherty has announced his plans to "surrender to the gods of detoxification," and he really does seem to be trying — performing Disney classics at concerts, for example, and posting hokey home videos on YouTube.

Systemwide Events Calendar
Homer's Odyssey: War, Biography, Disability, and The Best Years of Our LivesOctober 18, 12:00pm - 1:15pm
Manoa Campus, Center for Korean Studies Auditorium
Analysis of disability representation in William Wyler's famous film on the reintegration of U.S. veterans into civil society, The Best Years Of Our Lives (1946), usually centers on a specific biography: the life story of disabled vet actor Harold Russell, who won two Academy Awards for his performance.
This talk will set that life story in the context of others, both veteran and civilian, exploring the film's source texts to look at what was written out of the scripts in the making of that famously candid film. What can the backstory of Best Years illuminate about what we (don't) tell and ask about disability and sexuality in our stories about civil incorporation of veterans today?
Susan Schweik is a Professor of English and Associate Dean of Arts and Humanities at U.C. Berkeley. Her most recent book is The Ugly Laws: Disability in Public (NYU 2009). She is currently at work on a book on Agent Orange and disability representation.

Top Definition
the act of taking the neck of a guitar and/or bass and outwardly swinging the instrument it to the side, making the guitar or bass perpendicular with the body violently (left or right depending on playing style) then pulling it back violently while keeping the song going.
That band had some badass head stock swings during their breakdowns.
