The All Party Parliamentary Group on Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery was founded by former MP Anthony Steen - currently chairman of the Human Trafficking Foundation - with the purpose of raising awareness of the scale and effects of human trafficking in the UK, while seeking solutions to reduce supply/demand and improve welfare provisions for victims.
The APPG pledges to hold Government to account on its promise to ensure:
- better assistance for victims, especially children, in a way which is consistent with the European Directives to combat human trafficking;
- better training for the police and frontline workers so that signs of human trafficking can be effectively detected and traffickers prosecuted.
The APPG is currently chaired by Fiona Mactaggart MP and Baroness Butler-Sloss who oversee and coordinate all the activities of the group. The Foundation currently operates as the Secretariat of the Group and Anthony Steen as its special advisor. The APPG is registered with the House of Commons.

Flying Trapeze Shrimp
Fact: Hundreds of shrimp species swim in the seas, and some have minute differences we would never notice on our plates. Warm-water shrimp grow larger, but tend to taste less sweet than their cold-water cousins. Freshwater shrimp are usually farm-raised and prized for their size. Regardless of raw shrimp's color, which can range from white to yellow to brown to striped, all shrimp turn pink when cooked.

text: If you're meeting someone here, whoever arrives first should get in line at the counter and whoever's next should save a table or some bar stools. Hometown's brisket and baby back ribs are fantastic, especially when drenched in the house's signature sticky, caramel-y sauce, but it can take a while to get to the front of the line. (Bring something to occupy the kids in case they get squirmy.) The double dining halls—wood detailed and American-flag decorated—are roomy, with a bar in each featuring a strong beer list and 50 bourbons, ryes and whiskeys. The front area is more of a saloon, appointed with neon beer signs and a small stage where bluegrass, roots and country acts perform on weekends.

Virginia Virtucon first went live March 23, 2006 after several of us split from another blog that we were affiliated with at the time. For nearly the past nine years I have played a major role with this blog, serving as Editor-in-Chief for most of that time. A lot of contributors have come and gone during those years while others have been with us this entire time. I am proud of the work that we have done here and also that we have had fun doing it. This is a passion for us – we don't get paid, we do it because we have strongly held principles and beliefs that we want to apply to current events and share with our readers.
Today marks a new chapter in Virginia Virtucon's history as I turn over the reigns to my successor as Editor-in-Chief, Terrence Boulden. As I look ahead to possible new endeavors, I want to ensure that what we have built with Virginia Virtucon lives on and I believe that is best served by having someone at the helm who can give it the full attention that it deserves. Terrence represents the best aspects of what Virtucon attempts to offer — thoughtful analysis, interesting policy prescriptions and a sense of humor.
While I am stepping back from the leadership role I have had here, I will still offer occasional commentary as time and circumstances may dictate. To use a FOX News analogy, think of Virtucon as Special Report. Brit Hume started it and then handed it off to Bret Baier who has taken it to the next level. Hume still makes the occasional brief appearance, but it is Baier's show now. Please join me in wishing Terrence success in going forward and taking Virtucon to the next level!

Q: Can you share your thoughts about the BMO Discount Bond (ZDB) and the Horizons Canadian Select Universe Bond (HBB) as long-term holdings in a taxable account? – D. F.
Earlier this year BMO and Horizons both launched bond ETFs specifically designed for taxable accounts. These two funds have very different structures, and each has its strengths and weaknesses. So let's dig more deeply into each fund to help you decide which might be right for your portfolio.
Before we discuss these specific funds, let's review the problem with holding traditional bond ETFs in non-registered accounts. Most bonds these days trade at a premium (higher than their par value), because they were issued when interest rates were higher. Premium bonds are perfectly fine in your RRSP or TFSA, but they are notoriously tax-inefficient and should not be held in non-registered accounts.
Do you want a discount or a swap?
The BMO Discount Bond (ZDB), launched in February, is similar to traditional broad-market bond ETFs, such as the iShares Canadian Universe Bond (XBB), the Vanguard Canadian Aggregate Bond (VAB) and the BMO Aggregate Bond (ZAG).

The Veep: Call Me Al, Corporate America's Pal
All of a sudden, Al Gore is everywhere. On Jan. 13, the Vice-President announced a plan to tame suburban sprawl. On Jan. 14, he proposed a public-private partnership to train Americans for high-skill jobs in industries facing worker shortages. On Jan. 15, he unveiled a new Administration plan to spur development in distressed cities and rural areas by doubling the number of tax-advantaged "empowerment zones." With President Clinton pinned down by impeachment and preparing for what may be his most important State of the Union address, the Vice-President has become the front man for the Administration.
None too soon. The Presidential election is less than two years away, and with the possibility of facing fund-raising dynamos such as Texas Republican Governor George W. Bush, prospective candidate Gore is making sure he is visible--and actively reaching out to Corporate America. The White House wants to convince voters that the loyal No. 2 played a central role in the economic boom of the '90s. "The challenge is to get people to understand that he has been a full partner in economic policymaking, so he gets credit for the Administration's accomplishments," says Harvard University Law Professor Christopher F. Edley Jr., a former White House policy adviser.
"KNEE-JERK RESPONSE." Despite his New Democratic roots, however, the Veep is still seen by many as the environmental extremist of Republican caricatures. Erasing that image among business leaders may not be an easy task. So, after spending six years trying to "reinvent government," Gore is striving to reinvent himself. "The knee-jerk response to Al Gore originally was that he is an environmentalist, and any environmentalist has to be antibusiness," says Housing & Urban Development Secretary Andrew M. Cuomo, a Gore ally. "The truth is more nuanced." The truth, according to Cuomo, is that the Veep is a pro-business centrist who served as the chief Administration proponent for fiscal discipline and trade expansion, even as he pushed for spending on the environment, education, and high-tech research.
Business lobbyists aren't buying that just yet. "The guy's a little weird," says Karen Kerrigan, president of the Small Business Survival Committee. "CEOs hear his talk about the combustion engine being the greatest threat to mankind, and it sends a jolt down their spine." Auto companies and old-line manufacturers view Gore as a Big Government activist. U.S. Chamber of Commerce Senior Vice-President R. Bruce Josten echoes the doubts of many execs when he says that Gore's perceived regulatory zeal would cripple companies by subjecting them to a "mandate-of-the-month club."
Like his boss, though, Gore has been popular in the high-tech community. "He clearly knows what he's talking about," says Jerry Yang, co-founder and CEO of Yahoo! Inc. Silicon Valley has yielded both support and campaign cash for Gore, who's no slouch as a fund-raiser.
GLOBAL SAVVY. Lately, Gore has been trying to expand his business beachhead. He began courting Wall Street last spring with a New York lunch attended by such financial heavyweights as Bankers Trust CEO Frank N. Newman, Lazard Freres CEO Steve Rattner, J.P. Morgan CEO Douglas "Sandy" Warner, and former GOP Commerce Secretary Peter G. Peterson, chairman of Blackstone Group. After the Asian economic collapse in November, Gore reconvened his Wall Street "kitchen cabinet" at the White House. Says Newman, a former Deputy Treasury Secretary: "He was able to dig into a pretty sophisticated discussion of many countries around the world."
To enhance these international credentials, Gore also plans to attend the Jan. 28-Feb. 2 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. There he'll discuss the impact of globalization on the international financial infrastructure.
Despite some progress, Gore faces an uphill struggle to win business hearts and minds. "He knows he's got a lot of work to do," says one adviser. But the Vice-President also knows that the economy could be his greatest asset in 2000--if he can just get some executives to pitch their dog-eared copies of his 1992 enviro-tome, Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit, and let him turn a new page.

Rick Keheley is the new director of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH). After serving as the office's interim director since August 2013, Keheley began his new role in February.
"I am extremely honored and humbled by the opportunity to serve in the capacity of Inspector General," he said. "I am privileged to work side by side with such a dedicated executive leadership team, district health directors and a professional staff."
Keheley will lead the office's efforts to prevent fraud statewide and promote efficiency throughout the department's programs. Keheley served as deputy director of the OIG since 2011, and he assisted with the office's efforts to detect, eliminate and prevent fraud in Georgia's WIC program. Working closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Georgia's WIC program saved taxpayers millions of dollars through aggressive investigation and prosecution of fraud in the past two years.
"It is the goal of OIG to continue to look for methods to improve on fraud prevention and working with USDA and others to safeguard our public funds," Keheley said. "We continue to look at ways to improve the audit function in all DPH programs as well."
Before his career at DPH, Keheley had an esteemed career in Georgia law enforcement. He worked for 31 years with the Cobb County Police Department, earning the rank of Major before his retirement. He worked in the patrol and detective bureaus, which included the organized crime unit, crimes against persons unit, criminal investigations unit and Marietta/Cobb/Smyrna narcotics task force. He also served as a special agent in charge in the Office of Investigative Services for the Georgia Department of Human Resources and investigated major cases with the Cherokee County District Attorney's Office.
DPH Chief of Staff James Howgate welcomed Keheley to his new role.
"Rick possesses the right mix of skills and experience to lead the OIG through what are usually complex and difficult situations," he said. "He knows the department, he knows the goals and mission of the OIG, and we know he'll excel in this new role."

Lonestar, 'The Countdown' Begins to New Single and Album
With 2012 marking their 20th anniversary, the recently reunited country supergroup Lonestar has announced they will release a new single, "The Countdown," on July 17. A full-length album is set to follow in October, and is being released on the quartet's own label, 4 Star Records.
The group, featuring returning lead singer Richie McDonald, along with Michael Britt, Keech Rainwater and Dean Sams, started the year off with a European tour that also featured Reba McEntire and Ricky Skaggs. Earlier this month, they performed outdoors at the CMA Music Fest's Riverfront stage, and also played a sold-out invitation-only show for their fan club members at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The group debuted "The Countdown" and another new tune, "Pretty Good Day" during their show.
"It was a blast," says Dean Sams. "Fans were singing along to the new single by the second verse." "What a way to start the summer," adds Richie. "In the heat, outside, with thousands of fans singing along. Back on the bus!"
Back on the bus is exactly where the group headed after those shows, and they have concerts currently scheduled through October, with stops in Westbury, N.Y. (July 13), Los Angeles (July 27) and Lancaster, Pa. (Sept. 20). Keep track of their tour schedule here and visit the group's official website for more information — and a clock counting down to the official release of "The Countdown."
To date, Lonestar has sold in excess of 10 million albums. Their hits include "No News," "I'm Already There" and "Amazed," which logged eight weeks at No. 1 on the country chart and also reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100.

When a government is in its death throes it is probably kinder to avert your eyes. But, so help me, I was riveted by the carnage in Canberra on Wednesday night, watching past midnight.
All the while I was wondering, what possesses even desperate politicians to imagine the public might respond to a change of prime minister so late in the day? It almost never works.
In this country, National's switch from Bolger to Shipley didn't win the next election. The fourth Labour Government's replacement of Lange, first with Palmer then Moore, couldn't save it. Holyoake's belated handover to Marshall didn't extend that government's life.
Labour in Britain achieved nothing when Blair gave way to Brown. The Thatcher Government survived for another term under Major but thanks more to Labour than him.
The one successful midstream change anywhere that I can recall was Hawke to Keating in Australia, which might be why today's Australian Labor Government imagined it could safely replace Kevin Rudd with Julia Gillard three years ago.
What a disaster that turned out to be, and what a sorry denouement we watched on Wednesday night.
Once the result was known, we watched an empty corridor waiting for victor and vanquished to appear. Neither was in a hurry to address the nation. The whip who delivered the ballot figures said the nation was probably watching Origin 2. Clearly he hoped so.
Sometimes it is better to live with a mistake than try to correct it. One needless leadership change betrays a government in disarray, two can only confirm it.
For us, the sequence recalls the Lange Government's second term, though there were differences. Lange was clearly the architect of his own demise and it came as a relief to the public. He didn't haunt his successor as Rudd has, and when Sir Geoffrey Palmer's caucus came to much the same decision as Gillard's did, Palmer went without complaint.
Helen Clark, who handed the poisoned chalice to Mike Moore two months before the 1990 election, could have been New Zealand's first female prime minister at that point. She didn't want the job in those circumstances for the same reason that I doubt Rudd wanted it on Wednesday.
Neither he nor Gillard were particularly impressive when eventually they spoke. Gillard was dignified but mechanical, Rudd was nauseating.
He had the gall to condemn whispering campaigns and said they must now stop. Worse, he seemed genuinely unaware of the irony. He also said he was worried that young people were disillusioned so he threw in some youth lingo.
You could see how his colleagues came to loathe him and why so many of the Cabinet were quitting.
Nevertheless, they did wrong. Dumping a prime minister who has won an election is a prerogative the public prefers to reserve for itself at the next one.
Watching the Australian debacle, it was hard not to feel an immense satisfaction with our own politics these days. Helen Clark survived three terms without a whisper of dissension in her party and John Key looks quite likely to do the same.
The country has been more content since the millennium than at any time I can remember. It might have been like this in the 1950s and well into the 1960s before the economy entered shoals that got much worse in the 1970s.
Then came the reforms. We have come a long way and it was rocky. We've earned the stability of the economy and our politics now.
Australia went into the same rapids a little ahead of us, took a slower and less radical course. But they had a bigger boat and more stable leadership in those years. Perhaps that explains their politics now.
Much of the criticism of Gillard has seemed out of all proportion to her errors. I got a taste of it in response to a column that admired the way she engaged this country when she visited in the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquake. It was the sort of vitriol you delete at a glance.
One unwelcome correspondent supplied some of the cruel and obscene cartoons that were circulating at the time and I can see why she believed her gender contributed to her downfall. But I doubt that it did significantly.
Australia's first female prime minister, like New Zealand's, had the misfortune to come to office on a vote of her caucus, not the country. Gillard went one better than Jenny Shipley by narrowly surviving the next election, but she was taking the party over a cliff in September.
She hopes she has cleared a path for Australia's next woman prime minister, and the next.
She hasn't, the next one will be fine as long as she comes in on a popular vote, as the next in New Zealand did.

Bryan University Bryan College Breach of Contractual Promise Topeka Kansas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I enrolled at Bryan College in the fall of 2010. I thought that this would be a great way to be able to still work and afford to go back to school. I was mis lead by the enrollment team about the federal loan and other types of loans that a student copuld get to get them throught the education process. They promissed an 80% job placement after gradruation. The fact that I am about $30,000 in debt for an education that isn't worth the paper that my diploma is written on is not right. I feel that the federal government needs to put a tighter leash on the so called private sector of education.
I could have gon efull time to a A University that is accredidated the proper way. The admissions people lie when you ask specific questions.

It is clear that the nations educational system of teaching our history has gone down hill.

China frees dissident, US drops abuses move
United States correspondent
Page Tools
One of China's highest-profile political prisoners has arrived in the United States after Beijing released her in an apparent trade-off.
Rebiya Kadeer, a prominent Muslim businesswoman jailed on national security charges, was released two days before US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was due to arrive in Beijing for talks on a range of issues.
Hours after Ms Kadeer's release, the Bush Administration abandoned a resolution to be put to the United Nations Human Rights Commission critical of China's human rights record. The US State Department recently released a damning report on China's human rights abuses.
"From this time on, I am free," Ms Kadeer, 58, said when she arrived in Chicago on Thursday, the Washington-based Radio Free Asia reported.
Ms Kadeer said her release went unannounced in Xinjiang, in north-west China, where she had pressed for an improvement in women's rights before she was detained. "Nobody in the Uighur region knew I was free and leaving," she was quoted as saying.
State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said the decision to drop the resolution was not made because of Dr Rice's visit. China had "taken some important and significant steps", he said. It had freed some political prisoners and given people the right to hold church services in their homes.
China said Ms Kadeer was released on medical parole because her heart ailment had worsened.
John Kamm, head of a San Francisco-based organisation that researches Chinese prisons and who was involved in Ms Kadeer's release, said medical parole was often used to release people and that Ms Kadeer did have a heart problem.
"I have been led to believe that the Chinese are doing this as a gesture for Condi Rice," Mr Kamm said.
Human Rights Watch welcomed her release but said China should not be given any credit after jailing her for so long. "Letting her go now is yet another instance of China's 'revolving door' policy of releasing a few prominent political prisoners before important international events to head off criticism," Brad Adams, Asia director for Human Rights Watch, said.
Ms Kadeer was arrested in 1999 and charged with violating national security by sending Chinese newspapers to her husband, an American-based activist in the independence movement for the predominantly Muslim region of Xinjiang.
She was sentenced to eight years' jail, but it was reduced by 12 months last year. She had 17 months to serve.
Many in the US Congress will applaud her release but condemn the decision to abandon the UN resolution.
Ms Kadeer was on the top of a State Department list of jailed dissidents that it urged the Chinese to free.
But it is doubtful that freeing Ms Kadeer signals a change in China's human rights policies, especially in Ms Kadeer's home province.
According to the State Department's report on human rights, there are widespread abuses in Xinjiang province where the Chinese say they are fighting a violent independence movement that wants to turn the oil-rich province into an Islamic theocracy.
Human rights groups say there is no evidence of a violent insurgency. They say China has waged a campaign against dissent there and felt threatened by Ms Kadeer, an activist for women's rights and China's Muslim minority.

About MeHey my name is Jennifer Gil. I may not be your average size model but I believe that beauty, passion, and motivation are found in anyone, mainly those that are fully dedicated and I consider myself dedicated 100%, your size shouldn't matter, what matters is what one brings to the table. For years I have been trying to get signed to an agency and become a professional model but plenty of times i was turned down due to my height. Finally the summer of '12 I was recognized by MSA models and a few days later signed the contract and officially became an MSA model. This comes to show you that you should never let one shatter your dreams, just keep moving forward and prove those that didn't believe in you wrong. Since then I have been booked for many jobs in the shoe market but would love to expand into other fields of modeling such as print, beauty and commercial. I also have a background in dance that I would love to also use to my advantage. Dance styles include: Hip Hop, Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Improv, and Latin. I would love to work with many talented people that can help me in becoming a more versatile model and help me shut those non-believers down.

Allard: No third term

Allard: No third term
By M.E. Sprengelmeyer, Rocky Mountain News
January 15, 2007
WASHINGTON Sen. Wayne Allard said today he will
honor his term-limits pledge and leave at the end of
2008, creating a replacement fight that should turn
Colorado into one of the countrys biggest electoral
"I just didn't think I could back away from the (term
limits) commitment. It is a matter of integrity and
keeping your commitments. I have never wavered on
that," Allard told the Rocky Mountain News.
Appearing with his wife, Joan, at a press conference
at the state Capitol, Allard said, "The people of
Colorado placed their trust in me based on a promise I
made to them and I am honoring that promise. In an age
when promises are cast away as quickly as yesterdays
newspaper, I believe a promise made should be a
promise kept."
Allard, 63, faced friendly pressure from fellow
Republicans who wanted him to run again. Thats
because open-seat contests can be vastly more
difficult and costly for a party to defend.
But he also was tugged by the promise he made in 1996
to serve no more than two U.S. Senate terms.
The term limits pledge was a relic of the so-called
"Republican Revolution" of the 1994 election, when the
GOP swept to power promising to change the ways of
As time passed, some one-time leaders of the movement,
including Rep. Tom Tancredo, and others who signed
pledges, such as former Rep. Scott McInnis, abandoned
their promises in the name of continuing public
service. Others, such as former Rep. Bob Schaffer,
lived up to their pledge and went home.
In October 2002, when Allards re-match against
Democrat Tom Strickland still was in doubt, it was
suggested that the senator was hedging on his
term-limits pledge.
"Im term-limited," Allard said in reaction. "That has
always been my position. Ive always said I believe in
limiting my term. Ive stipulated in past campaigns
that I believe in term limits, and Ive never wavered
on it."
He went on to beat Strickland, just as he had in 1996.
But in later years, Allard avoided making definitive
statements about the term limits pledge, especially
after Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbells abrupt retirement
led to a Republican seat falling into the hands of
Democrat Ken Salazar.
"Whoever runs, whether its me or some (other
Republican) candidate who will be running, well be
facing a tough race in Colorado," Allard said
recently. "Ive always faced tough races before. ...
Im used to being an underdog."
Theres a long list of potential candidates for
Allards seat, including Rep. Mark Udall, D-Eldorado
Springs, and various Republicans, such as outgoing
Gov. Bill Owens, Tancredo, McInnis and Schaffer.
Even before Allards decision, the Cook Political
Report and the Washington Post political blog had
called Colorados 2008 Senate contest one of the top
races to watch.
An anticipated retirement by Allard was one reason,
but analysts also point to Democratic gains in
Colorado and other Western states.
The 2008 contest will happen in a presidential
election year, and some Democrats are urging their
party to pick a presidential nominee who reflects
Western values. If so, that could give the partys
Senate candidate some coat-tails to ride.
Allard has been more folksy than flashy during his 24
years in elective office, starting with eight years in
the state Senate, six years in the U.S. House of
Representatives and so far 10 years in the U.S.
"Senator Allards great political strength was that
Coloradans could look at him and say, He is like me.
He works hard every day.
And I think theres a commonality between Coloradans
and Sen. Allard that we havent seen many times in
elected officials," said Republican consultant Dick
Wadhams, who managed Allards Senate campaigns in 1996
and 2002.
Allard has been a champion of fiscal discipline and
traditional social values. That included two
unsuccessful bids to pass a proposed constitutional
amendment banning same-sex marriage.
In recent years, Allard often cast predictable,
party-line votes with fellow Republicans, and he was
known as one of the more reliable allies of President
Bushs White House.
Allies liked to say Allard has been a "work horse"
rather than a "show horse" in Congress. Still, Time
magazine in 2005 dubbed him "The Invisible Man" and
one of the five "worst" U.S. Senators.
Longtime Allard chief of staff Sean Conway dismissed
the ranking as "laughable," citing the senators
accomplishments, including cutting years off the
schedule for cleaning the former nuclear weapons plant
at Rocky Flats; defending the states military
installations from base closings and spearheading the
investigation into sexual assaults at the U.S. Air
Force Academy.
Allard was the only one from the nine-member state
delegation to sit on an Appropriations Committee, a
strategic place for securing federal funds for the
state. First-term Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Denver, already
has expressed an interest in an appropriations seat,
although the positions are hard to come by.
But Allard might be remembered just as much for his
down-home appeal and affable manner than his
legislative record.
Allard played up his roots as a veterinarian and small
businessman. He bragged about being a member of the
two-person Senate Veterinarian Caucus, and he
sometimes examined colleagues dogs in his Senate
Meanwhile, he lightened up his policy speeches by
lacing them with yarns about his experience running
the Allard Animal Hospital back in Colorado.
For example, his appeal for reforming the nation's
health care systems included his story about being
stuck with a high out-of-pocket expense for surgery
after he hurt his back lifting Great Danes and other
heavy dogs onto his examination table.

"Erm..." said Ambrosius.
"Har, har!" cried Mungo. "Told you that you would be surprised. A merry caper
we're in for and no mistake."
"Do we have any idea where this fish might be?" asked Stan from his position by
the taffrail, eyes closed and a look of utter despair making his features incredibly
"Not a clue, matey, not a clue," cackled Fishmael. "We shall have to sniff him
Stan swallowed back another mouthful of vomit. "Well, I see that you have it all
figured out," he said serenely.
"And I swore an oath on this?" asked Ambrosius.
"Aye, you swore to chase the fish to the ends of the earth with me, your bosom
"Oh," said Ambrosius.
"Our voyage will take us well beyond the normal fishing grounds. T'will be a
perilous journey, no doubt, but think of the glory!"
"Yes, the glory," said Ambrosius numbly.
Fishmael turned to where Jerry stood at the helm. "Set a course north by north east
and don't spare the petrels!"
The nameless ship planed along the mist, tufts of green-white spraying up to her
bowsprit as she plunged through the foggy waves. The light of Xiphias galvanised
her, anodised her, bathed her in quicksilver. Even her wake shimmered as the millions
of tiny phosphorescent animalcules that inhabited the mist were stirred up by her
passing. How like the passing of time was the passing of this demon ship – the ground
already covered shimmering out to aft, the course ahead a mystery and dark. Fishmael
would change tack erratically, "following my nose," so he said. And so began the
final mission, to find the Infinity Fish of Fate.
Chapter 24 – The Taffrail
"I suppose it doesn't really matter, being as we won't catch the fish in the next
several millennia." Ambrosius was stood by Stan at the taffrail, watching the horizon
as it paled in anticipation of Smugrise. There were no colours banding the sky this
dawn, only a gaunt light, as if the rays themselves were thin and moribund for lack of
"So that's the best scenario," replied Stan, his voice broken with tiredness and
nausea. "We're on a completely useless mission on a ship that, if the captain's record
is anything to go by, is bound to sink. The worst scenario," he croaked, "is that,
against all probability, we actually find this fish and then we destroy the last great
embodiment of goodness on this whole rotten planet."
"Nonsense. Face it, Stan, all but one of the fish are already dead. What's one fish
going to do? As a species we've really messed up badly. We've pretended the present
is the past is the future for too long, now we're being given our just desserts. There's
nothing supernatural about it, it's just the way things go."

Miley is a great role model, says co-star
Subscribe to Filmibeat
Miley had earlier triggered media furore after she posed half-naked for a saucy cover shoot for Vanity Fair last year (08) - aged just 15. But Brie, who now stars in TV hit Mad Men, believes people shouldn''t be so hard on Cyrus.
She has insisted that any person in Miley"s position would find it hard to be perfect under the glare of the media spotlight. "I think people are too hard on kids in the entertainment industry. It's a really tough industry to be in," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Us magazine.
She added: "If your average Joe was put under a microscope and scrutinised the way Miley Cyrus is, they'd be doing a lot worse. In general, she does great at being a great role model for kids. Everybody makes mistakes."

Last Friday night, longtime globetrotting art-rockers Liars helped break in a brand-new Brooklyn venue, The Wick, that isn't officially opening until the summer, but leave it to Liars to pop up in an intriguing location. Plowing through much of their new album, Mess (Mute), the trio seemed to have lost none of its usual brooding power. Hopefully no one tripped on all those wires.

Family recipes often make the best value-added food products. However, the process of turning recipes into marketable food products is often grueling, fraught with seemingly insurmountable rules and regulations as well as market development issues like product packaging and pricing strategies.
For Jessica and Chef Josh Wiggins of Blue Water Grill of Millsboro, the journey from ingredients to Delicious Dipping Sauce was made a little easier thanks to Shore Gourmet of Easton, Md., a service-oriented, nonprofit organization formed to help food product entrepreneurs. Kevin Deighan, general manager at Shore Gourmet, helped the Wiggins with product and market development issues such as packaging, label design, nutrient labeling, UPC bar coding and even figuring out what type of jar to use.
"For years, restaurant patrons have often asked if they could buy Josh's salad dressings, soups and sauces. We chose the dipping sauce for our sweet potato fries because that's the one that was requested the most," says Jessica Wiggins, who handles the "front of the house" of their restaurant business, which they opened in 2007.
"I wanted a sweet, delicious but simple sauce that was versatile enough to pair with everything from seafood to veggies. That's why I created DDS," says Josh. "With its increasing popularity in the restaurant and several requests from the customers that it should be bottled, it was an easy decision to make when offered the opportunity from Shore Gourmet."
Jessica found out about Shore Gourmet from her father, who works with USDA Rural Development. "Finding the time simply to run our business was challenging enough. Shore Gourmet took all the business development and product issues off our hands. In addition, Kevin came up with the idea to display the product in a refrigerator out in the open so our restaurant patrons could easily see that it was available for sale," she said.
"There are many food entrepreneurs like the Wiggins who have great ideas for new value-added food products. They just don't have the time or the expertise in product and market development to make it happen. That's why Shore Gourmet was established," says Deighan.
The Blue Water Grill is at 226 Main St. in historic, downtown Millsboro. BWG specializes in fresh seafood, creative specials and gourmet entrees and offers personalized service for special events including birthday parties, retirement celebrations, engagement parties, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners and intimate receptions.
Incorporated in 2009, Shore Gourmet is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to promote and sustain food and agricultural value-added businesses by providing free support to local entrepreneurs to start, grow and diversify value-added food products such as local cheeses, sauces and rubs, meats, soups, seafood products and desserts.
Since its inception, Shore Gourmet has been funded mostly by USDA Rural Development and state grants. Shore Gourmet serves Maryland's Eastern Shore and Delaware. For more information, contact Kevin Deighan, general manager, at 410-770-4454 or email@example.com or go to shoregourmet.com.

It would seem like an easy question to answer, right? Hiding an aircraft carrier isn't like slipping a knife into your pocket. But China watchers aren't sure what's going on in Beijing. In January 2006, Taiwan claimed to have evidence that mainland China was planning to build an entire carrier group, a charge Beijing immediately derided. The Chinese explained that they were merely converting a retired Ukrainian carrier, the Varyag, into a floating museum. But new questions are coming out. Joseph E. Lin writes in the Jamestown Foundation's most recent China Brief:
At the recent Fifth Session of the 10th National People's Congress held in Beijing, an admiral from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) delegation claimed, off-the-record, that China has already begun the research and development (R&D) of an indigenously built aircraft carrier and could complete its construction by 2010.
Other admirals denied the claim or refused to comment. Lin points to some signs that may indicate that China is, in fact, building an aircraft carrier. And now, a Korean newspaper is claiming to have the goods:
China has been pushing ahead with construction of a mega-sized nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to be completed in 2020, according to a Chinese Communist Party's dossier.
A source close to Chinese military affairs said on March 27 that China has been promoting the construction of a 93,000-ton atomic-powered carrier under a plan titled the "085 Project." The nation also has a plan to build a 48,000-ton non-nuclear-powered carrier under the so-called "089 Project," added the source.
According to the article, China's new nuclear-powered carrier group would be able to reach Guam, home to a major U.S. naval base. Against the backdrop of the United States pushing for greater transparency from the inscrutable Chinese military, it's clear that somebody here is taking matters into his or her own hands. But who, and what's the motive? One potential clue in the Korean article:
The non-nuclear-powered carrier is reported to be a revised version of Ukraine's Varyag, which China purchased in 1998.

thanks for all the comps guys and another thanks for all the silly talk... lol.. i wasn't expecting to see all this, but thanks for the good laugh...
two things i don't understand:
1) why do people create alternate screen names to speak their minds Not saying you did, but was told this is screen name you are using is an alious. here again, not accusing you, just was told so...
2) why do people assume things and not have enough courtesy to ask? i do realize that everyone on this site knows everything, but as you said, we have lives outside of vortex.... my direction to mike was easy.
a) i decided to give eurowise the car instead of me doing what i wanted because i wanted this car for SOWO of this year, not SOWO of 2024! i love a1's and don't want to own two that don't run do to being projects and mike assured me the car would be done by my directed date...
b) build this car on a set budget.
c) what is done this time around is stage 1 and the car will get a complete overhaul once the other rabbit is done.
so let's do a little math:
a + b + c = eurowise doing what was told to be done
the setup is an obd1 setup and tuning for that setup isn't what works with my near future plans, but will work for now. when asked about the harness, i told mike that i wanted it extended the cheapest way possible. is it half ass, not to me. is it the best route to take when extending a harness, NO. are the wires color coridinated, NO. is it a super dupper uber slim harness, NO. however, is it functional and meet my requirements of get it done quick, cheap, and lasting, YES!
one day a custom harness will be made for this car, like the one that will be made for the other rabbit, but at this stage of this car's developement, i didn't want to spend the extra money for something that i won't be using in hopefully a years time....
either way, sorry for the long winded speach, but do hope you and other's on here will come to realize that a question is usually better than an answer when trying to determine what is right (or "half ass" as you say) in a specific application.
as for updates, will get them up once i get them loaded...
take care,
can't wait to see y'all in helen.

Meh, dude complains about a good shop and he doesn't post his own crap and talks about his brother Rustang? GTFO.
carry on nash and mike.
Nash, glad you got a chance to chime in. This was getting a little out of hand. The car is coming along great. WIsh I could make it down to SOWO and see it in person and do some catching up.
I extended the harness in my car in much the same way with better solder connections, but I did them myself and spent several days making them pretty. In shop hours that would kill your said budget. The way they are done are not pretty, but solid and protected. You mentioned this is stage1. My car hit the road last fall just prior to going into storage. Well, that wiring is coming out for stage2. Wish I would have not taken so much time in the first place.
Hey noobs, Shut It!
Be glad someone is taking the time to assemble a build thread for your enjoyment, inspiration, and love of the "scene".

"The feedback and enthusiasm from children has been wonderful,†said Tasmina Begum, acting principal of Willes Little Flower School and College, as the Champs21.com quest for divisional qualifiers for Spelling Bee continued yesterday in the country.
It was easy to judge the truth of her comment - the school auditorium was filled with eager participants with their friends cheering them on.
The School Activation Rounds for Spelling Bee, organised by Champ21 is in full swing with four schools from Dhaka, three from Rangpur and two from Sylhet visited yesterday.
The competition in Dhaka was fiercest in Willes Little Flower School where thirty participants put their spelling skills to the test in a competition that lasted five rounds. Sadman Zarif Hossain, Sanzida Yasmin and Asif Iqbal Sohan - all from class eight- qualified.
The competition was intense with nervousness in the air. Ashraf, who didn't qualify said, "I could have won this,†referring to the silly mistake that took his chance away.
The qualifiers from Viqarunnisa Noon School, Bashundhara were Nusrat Shahreen, Tamanna Mahzabin Moumita and Boishakhi Anam. The other six qualifiers from Dhaka were Abu Abdullah, Kazi Ibtisham Fahim and Ayesha Tun Nashrah from Rajuk Uttara Model College and Farhan Zahid, Maisha Ahmed and Asid Haider from BIAM Model School.
In Sylhet, Abhijeet Acharjea Jeet, Nabila Zannat Rifa, Zareen Tasnim Nadi and Mahir Ibn Shafiq were selected from Blue Bird School and College. From Agrogami Girls' High School & College, Atiya Tahira Tasnim, Sanjida Yeasmin Shawrna and Bushra Al-Raquib secured spots.
Champs21 also visited three schools in Rangpur. Tonmoy Kumar Sarkar, Ahnat Raiyan Suchcha and Md. Zubayer made it from Rangpur Zila School. Md Yeasteak Ahmed Saad, Touhida Islam and Ridwana Rahman Suhridi made it from Shahan International School while Sharmistha Sarkar, Meheka Mahmud Shagufta and Mir Ashraf Ali qualified from Biam Laboratory School.
Those who did not qualify from their schools still have a chance to participate as they can play the Spelling Bee Game by logging into www.champs21.com. Schools with the highest number of qualifiers from Online Rounds will be awarded.
The final of the Spelling Bee is scheduled to be held in June. Last year Champs21 visited around a hundred schools. They expect to visit more than three hundred this year to select qualifiers for the divisional rounds.
Detailed information about the competition is available on www.champs21.com, the first e-learning portal of Bangladesh.

i had rhinoplasty 8 months ago and my PS said that my cartilage had shifted a little. He recommended using Radiesse to fill in the dent on the one side of my nose. Is it safe to use or is surgery a better option to fix it. What are my options other than an injectable filler, as i dont feel comfortable with a filler in my nose?
Can Radiesse Fill the Dent Left After Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 20
Radiesse to fix a rhinoplasty dent
Yes, Radiesse can work quite nicely to fix a small imperfection after rhinoplasty. You may need more than one treatment but if done right, you can have a permanent correction.

Radiesse after Rhinoplasty
The Radiesse is usually a temporary solution, likely for a year or so, until there has been full healing at which time, if desired, a cartilage or Gore-tex graft could be placed as a permanent solution.

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty to Improve Dents in Nose
Minor dents in the nose or bridge can happen have rhinoplasty. Treatment may include filling it with either cartilage graft, which requires surgery, or office injection. Non-surgical rhinoplasty via office injections with either Radiesse or hyaluronic acid filler can provide temporary improvement, lasting for several months or longer. These nasal injections, however, should never be put into the tip of the nose. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a rhinoplasty surgeon help determine appropriate options for you . Best of luck.
Dr. Chaboki

Radiesse for dents in nose after Rhinoplasty
Yes, Perlane, Radiesse, Juvederm or Restylane could all be used to fill in the dent created by the cartilage onlay graft moving or contracting and is perfectly safe. The only issue is these are temporary fixes and you may want a permanent solution which is eother fixing the graft with a Revision Rhinoplasty or micro-droplet silicone injections. This is, IMHO, the one and only approipriate use for silicone injections from those of you who regularly read my posts and blog comments.

Radiess for nasal irregularities
Dear rhinoplasty patient,
Small imperfections after a rhinoplasty can be filler with Radiesse, which is a temporary filler. This type of filler usually last 12-18 months. This is a good temporary option to see if a filler will fix the issue. For a more permanent solution, liquid Silikon injections can be use for small areas, but a revision procedure may be necessary for any larger dents or imperfections. I hope this is helpful.
Dr. Ginsburg
Dent after rhinoplasty
Very minor dents can be effectively dealt with by fillers. And Radiesse is a good though not permanent solution. If you like the result with radiesse then silikon microinjections (off label use) is the best. In some cases revision maybe necessary though. Good luck.
Fillers for rhinoplasty
Nasal dent
If you have a small depression after rhinoplasty a filler may be helpful to camouflage it. I prefer the hyaluronic acids.

Although former president Bill Clinton fooled around with, among other things, a tenor saxophone, politics and music are nonetheless strange bedfellows. But Danny Ross doesn't care. The 23-year-old singer/songwriter, who just released his first album, "Introducing Danny Ross!" also works as a staffer for New York City Congressman Jerrold Nadler. "I run the office operations," Ross told the Forward, "and I'm also the congressman's scheduler."
In his writing of the five pop-sized, radio-ready tracks on the album, the Long Island native is precise and organized. The album is a clean-cut, double-breasted, professional debut by a serious and capable musician whose refreshing enthusiasm permeates everything he does. Ross has been writing songs since around the time of his bar mitzvah, and in May he graduated from Cornell University as a popular music and performance major — a program he created himself. But he also gives his office job credit for providing him with some of the skills he uses to orchestrate music. "The organization of the congressman's office has led to rigid, disciplined scheduling with music," Ross said.
After the workday ends, Ross diligently divides his time among band rehearsals, piano and vocal practice, and song writing. The fruits of his discipline bloom onstage — Ross's nighttime office — where he wears a shirt and tie to every performance. "I actually consider what I'm trying to do with music an extension of what I'm trying to do with working for a congressman," Ross said. "I try to approach my musical career with the same sort of professionalism."
Ross displays a precision of pitch consistent with the rest of his craftsmanship, with enough gusto to match his energetic melodies. The main vein of the album, featuring Ross along with his backup band, pumps pure piano pop (think Ben Folds in a perpetually major key), but country and jazz influences prove that Ross's orderly approach does not stifle his creativity.
Although his music is aided by the presence of politics in his life, Ross keeps the two endeavors on opposite sides of the bed. When asked if he might one day occupy political office, Ross said: "It's an option I would like to keep open… after [I've] fulfilled a successful music career. But [music is] where my head is right now." Nadler, Ross's boss, has yet to see him live. But Ross believes that might change soon enough: "I'm his scheduler, so I have some say."

2012 ESPY Awards – Red Carpet [Photos]
Last night at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles was the 2012 ESPY Awards. The 20th edition of the ESPN-hosted award show sure had it's moments, including a sasquatch on the Red Carpet!
There were a lot of awards given out. If you missed the show, you can view the winners here.
Drew Brees was there. (Wonder how many contract questions he got!) He did come home with some hardware, winning "Record-Breaking Performance of the Year" as he broke the NFL's single-season passing yardage record with 5,476 yards in 2011.
It was so "sha" that Kenny Chesney gave him his award.
Anyhoo, on to the Red Carpet pictures:

It Only Took Over a Month...Bedard is a Mariner
So we finally know it's official. A lot of baseball pundits are raving about the package we got for him, but I still find it hard to get excited about dealing off the first pitcher we developed into a legit ace. I know in a couple years, as one pundit put it, we could have the best team in baseball. But we could also still have the same stinky club that didn't develop any of these prospects.
I'm reminded of our trade of Ponson for Moss, Ainsworth, plus 1 more...Ainsworth barely pitched here, Moss was a fat waste, and I don't remember the third player. So in the end, we got NOTHING in that trade. But it was another "trade a good player for prospects" deal...Let's just hope our prospects develop!.

The Philadelphia Art Alliance is set to host a new restaurant again. Scheduled to open in April, The Rittenhouse Tavern will take over the kitchen and dining space at 251 S. 18th St., right on the square. Restaurant Associates, who specialize in eateries within museums, are teaming up with chef Nicholas Elmi who hails most recently from Le Bec-Fin. The menu and surroundings are described as "American brasserie," and it's expected to be affordable yet refined.
The last restaurant in the space was Gardenia, which smartly focused on the gorgeous brick patio space out back. Unfortunately, it seemed to have suffered from increasingly unimaginative and sloppy dishes over the few years it was open. Toward the end, reviews praised the restaurant for its "large, cheap and delicious" happy hour drinks. Usually not a good sign for for a fine culinary establishment. Prior to that, the French Le Jardin petered out as well. Preceding both, Opus 251 lived out a dark and lush existence, serving diners alongside the gallery that hosts contemporary art and design along with music and poetry exhibitions.
