Residents at Rosedale Residential Home in Antrim will no longer have to seek alternative accommodation following the announcement by Health Minister Edwin Poots that the premises has been given a reprieve from closure.
Mr Poots gave residents, their families and staff the good news when he visited Rosedale last week, confirming that residents would not be moved while they wished to remain at the facility on the Kilreel Road
Rosedale had been earmarked for closure along with other homes in the Western and Northern Health Trust areas last April.
The public outcry that quickly followed led to a consultation process which concluded last month.
The daughter of 83-year-old resident Lilian Watt spoke of her mother's delight at news of a surprise reprieve for Rosedale.
Eleanor Fee said her mother has been a resident in Rosedalefor four years, "a place she now really considers her home, with flowers outside her bedroom window and a bird box".
"My mum is in good form now. She has led a very active life and has four of a family, although I am the only one left in Northern Ireland. She is not terribly active now but very alert in her mind," Ms Fee said.
She added that her mother had been "very worried" after being told the home was due to close.
"We noticed she didn't want to go out as she felt she might not get in again. As I said to Mr Poots, I class the staff in there as mummy's extended family because they are very good to her. If I can't be there, I know that they are there, although I do pop in every day," Eleanor said.
She added: "Edwin Poots came to the home on Wednesday and answered as many questions as he could and hopefully it will stay open and this is not just another gimmick."
South Antrim DUP MP William McCrea welcomed the decision and said he welcomed the immediate intervention to halt the Northern Trust's plans.
"My South Antrim DUP colleagues Paul Girvan and Pam Cameron joined with Trevor Clarke and myself in making resolute and determined representation on behalf of Rosedale," Mr McCrea said.
He added: "The Minister honoured his commitment to visit Rosedale on Wednesday evening and met with Heather the manager, her excellent team of committed staff, as well as the residents in the company of Trevor Clarke and myself.
"The Minister delivered excellent news to those assembled and removed the threat passed by the Northern Trust to have residents allocated to other places.
"The distress caused to our elderly by the Trust's proposal was intolerable and only for the Minister's timely and forthright action, many of the residents would have been displaced."
Mr McCrea added he was delighted that the threat hanging over Rosedale has been removed and the residents are fully assured that none of them will be denied their wish to stay there.
"I will continue to press the Minister on the need to open up the admission policy to allow others who desire to make Rosedale their home during their latter years to do so," Mr McCrea said.
Alliance Councillor Neil Kelly welcomed the news and visited the home shortly after the announcement was made to pass on his good wishes to all the staff and residents.
"This has been a very distressing period for residents and their families with the possibility of these care homes being closed," Cllr. Kelly said.
He added: "The announcement last year that all the care homes in the Northern Trust would be closed was an irrational decision, so I am glad that they have performed a u-turn.
"There is still a need for the Trust to provide a residential care home service. I hope there will also be good news about the other care homes under threat."
The news was also welcomed by the UUP's Paul Michael, but he urged for clarity on admissions policy to the home.
"Information is still not fully clear on Rosedale - will this mean new admissions, as there has not been admissions in some time; there are still questions needing answers," Cllr. Kelly said.

PHOENIX — A Senate panel voted Tuesday for an immediate cash infusion for the state's troubled child- welfare agency.
SB 1224 would provide more than $5.7 million more to the new Division of Child Safety and Family Services, the replacement for what until now has been Child Protective Services. The legislation also reallocates $1.1 million from elsewhere in the state budget.
Senate President Andy Biggs acknowledged that is far less than Gov. Jan Brewer said earlier this month is necessary to have the agency running properly. But Biggs said it should take care of the most pressing needs, with the governor's other requests to be dealt with in the budget for next fiscal year.
Biggs said the new funding will allow the agency to immediately hire 126 new caseworkers. That's on top of the 1,195 already authorized.
It also will pay for support staff and supervisors.
Tuesday's unanimous vote of the Senate Appropriations Committee came despite concerns by Sen. Rick Murphy, R-Peoria. Murphy, who has had run-ins with CPS over adopted and foster children, said he has seen no evidence that simply creating a new agency will remedy the long history of problems with the agency's operations, and its lack of responsiveness to lawmaker and public concerns.
"I'm not sure I'm comfortable giving one more dime to CPS until they have that kind of accountability," he said.
Charles Flanagan, named by Gov. Jan Brewer to head the new agency, said that will change. He said just the fact that this will be an agency reporting directly to the governor will mean "a greater level of scrutiny and fewer levels of bureaucracy."
But Murphy was not convinced more caseworkers are the answer.
He said there are entirely too many incidents where caseworkers overreact and decide the easiest thing to do after a complaint of abuse is to remove a child from a home.
Murphy knows something about that: CPS last year temporarily removed four of his adopted daughters from his home. That followed a complaint to police by his adopted son, subsequently recanted, which alleged abuse during a church retreat.
Two foster children in his home were also removed and not returned.
Murphy said there are many cases in which most people would agree children never should have been taken in the first place.
"That makes me question: Do we really need to go out and hire a whole bunch of new people if that's the kind of thing that's going on?" he said.
and it's widespread, or do we need to get priorities in line?'' he asked.
Flanagan said that there are probably situations where caseworkers have taken children where it might have been preferable to keep the family together and offer some services.
"But the problem is, when you're overworked, you make the easiest possible decision for you right then," he told lawmakers.
But the other side of the issue, Flanagan cautioned, is, "If you don't take a child from a home, and then there are repetitive field investigations, and all of a sudden there's a dead baby," it becomes the fault of CPS, he said.
The legislation now goes to the full Senate.


text: New Delhi: Excessive consumption of Coke led to the death of a 30-year-old woman in 2010. This was revealed in an experts' reading over the death, according to media reports. The New Zealand woman Natasha Harris, a mother of eight, had died in February 2010 of a heart attack. She regularly consumed 10-lt a day thus suffering from low potassium disorder in her body. This might have led to abnormalities in her heart rhythm. Health experts also said, according to media reports, high levels of caffeine also could have contributed to her death. Caffeine is also present in very small quanitity in Coke. Coca Cola has drawn a conclusion from this incident that excessive intake of even water could be fatal. Fairfax Media reported that Harris' partner, Chris Hodgkinson, testified that Harris drank between 8 and 10 liters of regular Coke every day. However, Coca Cola in a media statement said its products are safe, but excessive ingestion of any food product, including water, over a short period of time with the inadequate consumption of essential nutrients can lead to bad health and even death.

Our lord Maurice Tiberios, eternal augustus.
Maurice Tiberios's seals continue the divergence from the design of coins noted first in the reign of Tiberios Constantine, with the Mother of God on the former and Winged Victory on the latter. Among both seals and coins are preserved examples in which the emperor's name is read "Mauricius Tiberius" and "Tiberius Mauricius."
The at the end of the identifying inscription on the reverse has the appearance of a vertical bar. The emperor's chlamys seems to be held together on the right shoulder by a fibula.

Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy ... And the rest is history. Since its first publication in 1983, Lynley Dodd's simple tale of a small dog and his four-legged friends trotting off for an adventure to "the far end of town" has become a classic of children's literature. There are many of those - books that are critically admired, loved by children and permanently in print. And Hairy Maclary From Donaldson's Dairy is all of these things, for sure. But there are books that transcend even great commercial success and popular acclaim. They are the books that become somehow ingrained in a culture; books that seem so familiar to us now that it's hard to remember what it was like to read them for the first time; books that have become cultural reference points available to all readers, regardless of their age or background. Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy is such a book.
This isn't hyperbole. At the 30th anniversary of its debut, Hairy Maclary can be fairly said to have been read by - or read to - nearly every New Zealander who was a child, a parent, a grandparent, an uncle or aunt, cousin, nephew or niece.
If that isn't virtually everyone, then try to find a stranger who has never heard of Dodd's most famous creation. Good luck.
And while this may seem to be stating the obvious, it can also be said with some certainty that Hairy Maclary has been read by all those people. This is not always the case with classics. Many people can reel off a list of great titles, but how many of them - including the most voraciously literate - can honestly claim to have actually read them all? The sheer democratic accessibility of the story of the little black dog marks it out as among the few books that so many people can legitimately claim to have finished.
You might argue that this is simply a symptom of its brevity and relative naivety. After all, it consists of a mere 17 pictures, 256 words (36 of which consist of six repetitions of "... and [/with] Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy"), and only 30 instances of punctuation (19 commas, eight full stops, seven apostrophes, an ellipsis, two quotation marks and an exclamation point). As a text it is bordering on minimalist prose poetry, which is undoubtedly why so many people can recite it from memory after only a few readings.
But to dismiss Hairy Maclary as "just" a children's book is to overlook the work in its creation. Nathaniel Hawthorne's famous adage that "easy reading is damn hard writing" is no less apposite for a book being aimed at young children. Indeed, children are ruthlessly honest critics and will never persevere with anything that doesn't capture their imagination and carry them along. The key to Dodd's economy and inventiveness as a storyteller resides in her assiduous paring back of words and pictures to their elegant, whimsical essentials.
To stay with the text for now, its metre and rhythm remain scrupulously exact throughout. Dodd never attempts to squeeze in an extra beat or demand of the reader an unnatural emphasis to make a line work. The steady momentum of her syllables reads like clockwork - or a heartbeat - so that the tongue never trips and the pauses for breath come at the right intervals. That the names of the dogs - Schnitzel von Krumm, Bitzer Maloney, Muffin McLay, Bottomley Potts, Hercules Morse - are inventive and funny goes without saying, but they are also more than just easily contrived rhyming words.
Each dog sounds like it looks, and matches its description more than simply phonetically.
So to the pictures. Again, familiarity may have partially blinded us to their cleverness and deft ingenuity. In the first frame we meet our hero, and everything we will come to know about him is already on the page: the animated gait, the spindly legs, the slightly scruffy mop of his coat, the expressiveness of the eyes. In truth, it should really be eye, singular, for we rarely see Hairy Maclary in full face.
But what an eye! With his shaggy visage, Hairy's expressiveness is somewhat restricted
by his absence of a mouth or jawline. Yet with a minimum of black ink and white space Dodd conjures a host of reactions and emotions from the concentric circles of Hairy's eye, depicting him variously as jauntily eager, inquisitive, tentative, playful, mischievous, frightened and contrite. No one who has observed dogs and their ways could fail to see the essential accuracy of his depiction.
Similarly, the other dogs display their personalities in their faces and eyes. Hercules Morse already looks anxious as he leaps the chain at his front gate. Bottomley Potts is clearly an optimist. Muffin McLay - an old english sheepdog whose fur-obscured face consists of only a button nose and a slightly wry smile line - nonetheless gives off an air of untroubled calm. Bitzer Maloney is cheerfully highly strung. And Schnitzel von Krumm, low slung and in a hurry to keep up, looks eager to please.
Each dog emerges from a gate that echoes and reinforces those perceptions. Hairy himself leaves number 60, with the very edge of its "Donaldson's Dairy" sign just visible to the right of the picture. The roof of the house behind the white picket fence is of red corrugated iron. This is New Zealand. Hercules Morse exits number 54, the stone pillars of its entrance way as substantial as he is. Bottomley Potts emerges from between fine wrought-iron gates, beneath a vine curling around a trellis - elegant, refined. Muffin McLay seems at one with the bushy hedge and rough-hewn wooden gate of number 48, and Bitzer Maloney's twirling tail echoes the curlicues of Bottomley Potts' gates, in counterpoint to the stolid timber fence of number 36. Going by the substantial brick walls and gateposts topped with ostentatious lanterns, Schnitzel von Krumm's home at number 22 is as aristocratic as his name suggests. We never see them, but it is easy to imagine the owners of these animals, human versions of their assorted pets - forever off-stage, as it were, while the stars of the show fill every frame.
Finally, there is Scarface Claw, the toughest tom in town. The scars are on his ears, which jut like battle-scarred horns from each side of his substantial head. One eye droops menacingly as he delivers the only line of dialogue in the entire story: "EEEEEOWWWFFTZ!"
It's the big payoff, the page that never gets old for parent and child alike. Again, anyone who's ever owned a cat or even heard a catfight outside their bedroom window at night knows exactly how that elongated yowl and hiss is meant to sound. As a story structure it is the essence of simplicity: a journey, a challenge, and a return home.
One should probably be cautious about placing Hairy Maclary in the Homeric tradition, but his travels are still an odyssey of sorts, albeit of a humble, domesticated kind. It is the symmetry of the tale that is so pleasing; the fact that it ends in bed - where so many of its readership are no doubt already lying as they listen - is as comforting as it is perfect.
Dodd says the process of writing Hairy Maclary was very straightforward - that once she'd settled on its basic structure the words and the pictures flowed naturally. And you can still feel that original creative impulse when you read it now. The story's internal logic and building narrative have a coherence and pleasant inevitability that is deeply satisfying. It just feels right.
The book was virtually an instant hit. In its author's own words: "It took off! It just hit a chord with people." Excellent reviews in the foreign press helped, of course. As did the backing of its publishers in New Zealand and overseas. It was picked up in England almost immediately.
"It was way beyond what any of us expected," Dodd said nearly 30 years later. "I'm still gobsmacked really, even now. Who would have thought that one little dog and his buddies could do that?"

The patented process used in this book is phenomenal. At the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, kids were mesmerized by the overblown cover, with the cheetah running in constant motion across the book. It's like you're watching a movie made by National Geographic! Prices on other sites run $16-20 , and its a book that will keep you entertained, first for the "movies," then for the great story of being on a safari. Makes you feel like you're in Kenya.

The move to items made in China is very disappointing. A major reason for buying from Uncommon Goods is the use of local artists.

War moms struggle with pride, anxiety
Two women share thoughts about their children serving in Iraq
The sandstorm that is Operation Iraqi Freedom may be settling, but for local moms whose loved ones remain on duty in the Persian Gulf, the war is still far from over.
Two Portland area moms share the worry and pride they feel for their son and daughter as Mother's Day approaches.
Decorated with yellow ribbons and with an oversized image of her son Ñ Army intelligence officer Jason Thompson Ñ featured prominently, Judy Cooper's Tualatin apartment leaves little doubt as to what occupies her heart and mind these days.
Thompson, 27, has been in Iraq since November. Cooper says news from her son is rare, given the secretive nature of his work.
'I haven't heard from him,' she says, 'but I know he's safe Ñ bad news travels quickly!'
She says she's growing accustomed to the mix of emotions that comes with being a soldier's mother.
'I go up and down,' Cooper says. 'I have moments of pride and real inspiration knowing that he's living his dream. Jason has wanted to join the Army since college. He's long been inspired by his grandfathers and his stepdad's father, who were all soldiers and fought in World War II and the Korean War.
'But as a mom you're protective of your child no matter what their age. After reading his letters, my impulse is to go over there and get him. But he's 27 years old Ñ I can't tell him what to do anymore.'
Cooper says her son has never shied from challenges. Before his deployment, Thompson was a social worker in Tennessee, employed as a case manager for mentally ill patients.
'Part of his job was to identify potential clients,' Cooper says. 'He used to crawl under bridges to talk to people.'
Despite her concerns for her son, the soft-spoken Cooper has strong opinions about the necessity of war with Iraq.
'I think we're dealing with different values and principles,' says Cooper, whose adopted daughter, Luminita, 13, was born under Ceausescu's regime in Romania. 'Saddam had a choice in this; it wasn't exactly an overnight declaration. There comes a point when you have to say, 'Enough is enough.'
'I'd like nothing more than to live in a world where there's no conflict,' she continues. 'But I also recognize that there are times when you have to make difficult decisions based on the situation.'
Cooper says each day brings a mix of emotions as she wonders about Jason and cares for her daughter and her two other sons, Ian, 18, and Michael, 15.
She says that for Jason, who is married but has no children, there probably will come a time when he feels as she does now.
'I've lived in five countries over the years,' Cooper says, 'and I believe that there are certain principles that exist for parents everywhere. We can all identify very closely with the other parents and families who've learned that a loved one isn't coming home, as well as with any civilians that are harmed. We all want our children to do better than us, to have a good education, and to be safe and happy.'
And even though she doesn't know when her son will return, Cooper says the yellow ribbons won't be untied until that time.
'They'll stay up until he sets foot on American soil,' she says.
Oregon City resident Candy Schade loves her daughter, Krista Schade, a 30-year-old Marine Corps reservist, but she isn't waiting by the phone to hear from her.
'Excuse all the stuff, but we're getting ready for a Grand Canyon rafting trip,' she says, gesturing toward supplies for the family's two-week outing. 'Her dad (Dave) and I hate to be gone, but Krista can call her grandparents if she needs to.'
Krista, a 1991 graduate of Canby Union High School, is a Portland-based paramedic who was inspired to join the Marines by her father's Desert Storm experience. She was scheduled to leave Camp Pendleton in Southern California several weeks ago.
'The last time I talked to her, she said, 'Mom, I really want to go, but I'm really scared,' Schade says. 'And I said, 'Well, honey, that's normal.' '
Schade says her experience as a hospital nurse helps temper her emotions at this time.
'I have mixed feelings,' she says. 'The part of me that's a nurse is proud of her, but the part of me that's a mom is scared.'
After the publicity over Jessica Lynch's prisoner of war ordeal, Schade was relieved when Krista's duties were moved farther from the front line.
'She was kind of glad when she found out that she wouldn't be up front, and so was her boyfriend,' says Schade, who also has a son.
During the fighting, Krista was an ambulance paramedic, but now that the worst of the war is over, Schade says, her daughter will take on a different role in Iraq:
'She'll probably be a part of the humanitarian aid that the Marines will be doing; I'm sure that they'll be there for at least a year.
'Hopefully she can take this trip with us next year.'

"You know, I think 7.30pm to 10.30pm on TV3, on a Friday night is the best three-hour stretch on any channel, any night, all week." I'm telling this to my dad, as he scuttles between his garage and the busted pump for his pool, which he is trying to repair. "Glee, The Graham Norton Show, 7 Days, Wanna-BEN, it's a great night of TV," I say, extending the fingers on my left hand as I count them down. "What do you think?"
He shoots me a look and I can tell he's wondering why I'm a TV blogger and not a part-time pool repairman. "To be honest," he says, indicating the broken pool pump, "I've got more important things to think about right now."
Fortunately I'm a TV blogger, so I do think about things like this.
In fact, I've spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about what might constitute the best night of TV during the week, since I noticed last week that TV3 on a Friday night was highlighted red from 7.30pm to 10.30pm on my MySky. It's a solid three-hour stretch of TV programming, even if I did panic when I first saw the big red box. I thought something was wrong with my decoder (I don't repair those either).
But it got me to thinking: what is the best three-hour stretch on television?
To figure this out, I used three basic rules: a) it must be a three-hour stretch, no more, no less; b) it must be evening viewing - three straight hours, starting sometime after 6pm; and c) it has to be a week night, Monday to Friday. Let's call it The Best Night of TV.
So here are a few nominees I came up with for The Best Night of TV, from the next seven days - in no particular order, of course ...
Tuesday, 7.00pm - 10.00pm: A killer line up of comedy on C4, even if they are mostly repeats. Things heat up at 7pm with Family Guy, followed by 30 Rock (my favourite comedy of the week), How I Met Your Mother, Better Off Ted (my second favourite comedy of the week - and by the way, one of the greatest ideas for a TV show, ever) and The Office US, before winding down with Girls of the Playboy Mansion, a show more notable for its unintentional hilarity than for any real purpose it might have.
Wednesday, 7.30pm - 10.30pm: Top notch current affairs show 60 Minutes starts us off on TV3, before we flick over to Castle on One, then back to TV3 for Sons of Anarchy. This time period used to include Chuck and Human Target, both on TV2 and both finished for the season in the last few weeks (TV2 actually doesn't feature in this post at all, since The Mentalist finishes tonight and Fringe was pulled a couple of months back; I'm not regularly watching any TV2 shows at the moment.)
Thursday, 6.30pm - 9.30pm: The documentary channels are quietly loaded with decent programmes, so we head over there for Air Crash Investigation on National Geographic, before flicking over to Prime for Man Vs Wild and SGU. By the way, have we ever figured out why Air Crash Investigation is so interesting? "Tonight on ACI, we show you why most planes are seconds away from disaster, subsequently making you question every little shake and rumble on your next flight from Auckland to Palmerston North." Actually, why do I even watch this show?!
Friday, 7.30pm - 10.30pm: The three-hour stretch which started the idea for this post - TV3's Friday lineup starts with high school comedy Glee, continues with British talk show The Graham Norton Show, then winds up with Kiwi comedy in the form of 7 Days and Wanna-BEN (which has improved dramatically since my review of the premiere).
What are your favourite nights of television - what three-hour stretch of television do you look forward to each week? Post your pick for The Best Night of TV in the comments, below!

Woo-hoo, first comment! (Okay, that was pointless). I'd definitely have to go with Tuesday. I didn't like Better of Ted, and I don't really watch The Office, though it looks great-I've never had time to really get into that show. But I'm glad they added Girls of the Playboy Mansion. (I always thought you just had to be dumb and blonde to get in there-well apparently you have to be dumb, blonde AND have a stupid laugh.)
In fact, I don't usually watch three straight hours of TV any night, though Friday is definitely second-best, even though I can't stand Glee and Wanna-Ben is desperate and pathetic.
So, yeah. That's my opinion.
have i missed something or are you just ignoring mondays?! mentalist double episodes followed by ... well thats kind of it really
I find it is all pretty rubbish at the moment. It used to be Wednesdays way back in the day when it was Shortland St, NEW Two & a Half Men, Big Bang Theory, Chuck and Lost. But it has all gone very downhill.
Now that Jersey Shore is over until Season 3, my only Must See TV is Shortland Street & Kendra! And that's saying something about the quality of television shows on now really isn't it?!
I agree with your first choice Chris, definately Friday night on TV3. I watch all of those shows, I especially love Graham Norton. And its good relaxing TV for the end of the week.
Right now...there's no good night. Used to be C4's animation Thursday from 7pm to 9.30pm, but that's gone into repeats and other strange stuff that's just plain boring.
As for Friday..Graham Norton used to be edgey. This new version of him is totally neutered and I can't be bothered with it.
7 Nights of utter rubbish. END OF STORY.
Om some night , 3 out of the 5 channels I can get have COOKING shows on!! What does that leave for those of us who dont give a dam about cooking??
Not only that, but its the week before christmas and there has not been 1 single decent family movie at a reasonable time of day for my kids to watch!
What is "TV"?
I love 'Coronation St',always have. Can't go past this soap for superb acting and plots. I know loads of people will think it is naff but it has been going for 50 years now so that's gotta say something. Always try and watch 'Family Guy' as much as possible and have enjoyed following 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' for pure blob-out value. Also, I usually flick onto the Documentary and History channel for a bit of culture. My husband is addicted to cricket so in recent times I have been forced to watch the Ashes series (frame-by-frame bowling...shoot me now!) and Black Caps and pretend I understand what is going on..must be time for a 2nd decoder!
Uuuuummmmmmmm....If we're going for 3+ consecutive hours, probably Thursday (most of them anyway) would be the way to go for me. Rialto has a documentary from 8.30, most of which are pretty good and then ESPN has their 30 for 30 Documentaries starting from 10.00. Apart from that, only about 1/2 an hour of good programming on most nights
I LIke Thursdays on C4. Family Guy, Futureama, American Dad (dont really like this one as much so I do the dishes insted) South Park and my new fav, Archer. After that its goes a bit bad since Prime have gotten rid of Qi, but Cops is on and thats usually a laugh, but from 9:30-10 theres usually a bit of channel surfing. You never know what you will come across on Stratos, so thats ALWAYS worth a look. I dont care if they are repeats, I will still watch and still laugh. On a bit of a different note, I am VERY annoyed that there is no longer The Simpsons on at 5pm (or 6pm on that TV 3 channel thats an hour behind) I really couldnt give a rats a** if they are repeats, The Simpsons is at least a million times better than just about everything on TV.

Great questions about the glove. I didn't even think about being able to wash my hands with it on but I did read on the website that it was washable which is a plus at least. When mine arrives I will be sure to put some input on how it feels and such!
And you are very welcome, I am very glad I made it after getting some of these great tips and feedback! I hope it will help others as well!

Hey guys!
I had a E90 -2005, which I styled with ACS details as front- & rear bumper. Now I have an E91 LCI (facelift) that I'm thinking of style it with the same rear bumper but keep the original front, just to change the tiny original rear.
Does anybody know if the facelifted rear bumper is the same as the pre-facelifted? I know that the front and hood is changed, but I don't think they have made any changes on the rear.
Please, does anybody know and can confirm if it the same rear or not?
Best reg.,

Report: Manny Pacquiao to fight Dec. 1; opponent undetermined
Manny Pacquiao will fight an unnamed opponent on Dec. 1 according to his advisors, reports ESPN.com.
Pacquiao was originally supposed to fight on Nov. 10. but has run into issues with his re-election campaign for the congressional seat he has in the Philippines.
"Manny has to be in the Philippines for the filing of his candidacy in October, and I don't want to interrupt his training, nor does Manny," Pacquiao's advisor Michael Koncz said. "If he fights on Nov. 10, it would interrupt his training because he would have to go back to the Philippines. You lose two days going there, and it's a long trip in the middle of camp. We don't want to have any excuses when he fights.Pacquiao's (54-4-2, 38 KOs) last bout was against Timothy Bradley on June 9. He lost his welterweight title via split decision.


text: I've been having seizures now for 3 months. I have them anywhere from 3 to 8 times a day. My diagnosis has been complicated because my symptoms aren't exactly adding up. My seizures look tonic clonic only on the left side of my body but unlike a "usual" tonic-clonic seizure, I do not lose consciousness. I am aware of all my surrounding but it's like my mind is blank. Though I can hear everyone around me, and I never lose my memory around the time of the seizure, I have no active thought process. The best way I can describe it is that nothing matters in the world, I've reached a state of completely not caring. I'm there but not really. The actual seizure lasts about 2 minutes and I usually stay unresponsive for 5ish minutes after that. At this point I start thinking again but am incapable of speaking and if I try, I stutter. Many doctors have had no idea what was really wtong with me because of this lack of unconsciousness. My initial diagnosis with one neuro was epilepsy (partial complex) and an eeg did show epilitpiform waves but other doctors have been suspiscious and I haven't gotten any clear answers. What I was wondering was if anyone else had this awareness but unresponsiveness during their seizures?

Bika returns Thursday!
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
IBO super middleweight champion Sakio Bika (27-3-2, 18 KOs) will clash with Ramon Pedro Moyano (27-8-3, 15KO's) on Thursday at the Orion Function Center, Campsie, NSW, Australia. Moyano – the son of the great Carlos Monzon – is coming off a fifth round knockout win over Fernando Vera in 2009. Bika defeated Peter Manfredo by KO3 to capture the IBO title in 2008 and won the 2007 Contender series. He lost to Joe Calzaghe in 2006 and Lucian Bute in 2007.
Bika said "I simply cannot wait for this fight! My record shows I fight the best and I want to show the Australian public what I am about and what the Amercian fans saw of me through 'The Contender' series. I won my world-title last here in Sydney and I am proud to have this opportunity to showcase my talents on SuperBoxer. Anthony Mundine has avoided me for far too long and maybe this is a way for the Australian public to see my punching power and the excitement I bring to the ring and call for Anthony to face me in the future! Thank you to the Empire for affording me this opportunity to show Australia how much sting 'The Scorpion' has got! My opponent may be the son of the legendary Carlos Monzon, but guess what, that won't help him on the night when he feels the full force of my power!"

City witnessed sale of gold worth Rs 7 crore on Dhanteras - a day considered auspicious for buying gold. The metal was purchased almost half in comparison to last year.
Going by the data tabulated by UT excise and taxation department, gold worth Rs 7 crore was sold till Friday evening across the city. Last year, as per jewellers' association, gold worth Rs 12 to Rs 14 crore was sold. Even though the metal's rate this year was Rs 29,900 per 10 gm (22 karat), Rs 1,000 less than Rs 30,800 last year, the sale witnessed a dip.
Assistant commissioner, excise and taxation department, RC Bhalla said gold worth Rs 7 crore was sold in the city till 6 pm.
City jewellers blame inflation for the dip in sale, besides the fluctuating rate of gold.
President, Jewellers' Association, Sector 19, Vinod Talwar said, "This year the sale of gold on Dhanteras has witness a dip by 40%. Last year, gold worth Rs 12 to Rs 14 crore was sold on this day."
He attributed the trend to inflation and weak purchasing power of residents.
Another jeweller Vikas Jain of Sector 23 said the fluctuation in the rate of gold was also responsible for the dip in its sale. Customers otherwise also bought gold in April this year when the rates had come down drastically to about Rs 25,500.
Meanwhile, the UT excise and taxation department for the first time on Dhanteras conducted checks at various jewellery shops in the city.
The excise officials visited prominent jewellery shops at least four times in the day to check the sales. In all five shops were visited in Sector 22, five in Manimajra and two shops in Sector 17.
A senior officer in the UT administration said checks were carried out in the wake of dip in sale of jewellery these days which was leading to jewellers not handing over bills to customers to evade value-added tax (VAT). However, time the sale was not much in comparison to last few years, he added.
Bhalla said, "Shops were visited to monitor the sales, especially on Dhanteras. VAT is levied at the rate of 1% on the total cost of the jewellery sold."
Special challan books printed
The excise department had also got special challan books printed for just one day to issue slips to jeweller not giving proper bills and evading VAT.

This program is old and has been rendered useless by the newer clients released by Pande Labs.
If you are running the SMP client, check you are using the -smp cmd line switch. We can help more if you open a new thread stating your basic hardware and which client(s) you are running.
Not really, and maybe it's just because I'm running the ATI client with the SMP client, but even set correctly, I still gain more points-per-day by manually setting the affinity on both clients after using the -smp command. It seems that the ATI client simply doesn't play well with others. Even using the -smp command, the clients still spill over all cores, and that's where I continue to get client conflicts. Not as bad as not setting -smp and such, but I still lose ppd overall. I am getting tired of having to reset affinity every 3 hours.
If this program ever gets updated, is there any chance to include support for CPUs with more than 4 cores?

On The Beach…
When Father Peter Gillen reflected on how he would describe those who were being honored by Saint Rose Parish at their annual dinner dance, he said that there was one specific word that echoed through his mind; a word that is a common thread shared by each of the honorees. The word: "beauty". He remarked that while we are surrounded by beauty in the form of nature with our ocean, bay, boardwalk..., God also manifests and reflects his beauty through each individual in some unique way.
The theme of the occasion, called "A Night of Roses" is about the celebration of the many forms of expressed beauty. Nearly 400 people from various parts of our community stepped out to an elegant fete at Russo's On The Bay to honor and pay tribute to those who most express this element of beauty through the work of their lives.
As Father Peter pondered the names of those who would be honored, the first name to come to mind is a woman who exemplifies this, as well as the beauty of the Saint Rose Parish. Her name is Joan Perkins, Saint Rose Parish secretary. Father Gillen described the way Joan graciously welcomes everyone to our home and office and the beauty of her patience in the rectory. He commended Joan's 14 years of service as Parish secretary and said to Joan, "You make us look good and our world more beautiful." Mrs. Perkins thanked Father Devine for having hired her and stated to Father Gillen, "Through your vision and your love of Christ, you bring out the best in all those who work for you."
The next person who exudes such beauty is a woman named Rita Sweeney whom Father Peter recalled as having come to the rectory years ago to volunteer and how she hasn't gone home yet! Ms. Sweeney does all the printing and parish news bulletins. Father Gillen described Rita as "a steward of God's gift, time, and talent. She's the real McCoy!"
As the theme of the evening was about an expression of beauty, it was most appropriate that the parish would choose to honor two renowned artists who, through their specific God-given talent, have given back to the church with their art. They are the "two Patricks"! Father Peter remarked that "the images of the art work of both Patrick Antonelle and Patrick Clark are an expression of the art of their lives and that we recognize beauty as being a gift from God." A very elegant and humble Patrick Antonelle, who is well-renowned in the international art world as the "American Renoir", addressed the audience. "I don't really consider what I do a very big deal. I thank God for the talent I have; yet to receive such a big thing as a result of such a little thing is really a wonderful honor."
As someone who owns several Patrick Antonelle prints, I am personally so awed by the gift this artist has been given and that a human being could actually create such beauty with his extraordinary use of color. I am equally awed by the fact that such a master talent resides among us in our community. The few occasions I've had to meet Mr. Antonelle, I immediately felt the spiritual beauty of this man. How lucky we are to have him!
The art of Patrick Clark was described by Father Peter as being "a gift that comes from a great heart." Patrick was first commissioned by Father Devine in 1985 to restore the stained glass at Saint Rose. It was there while living at the rectory that he met Richard and Teri Magnifico who commissioned him to restore the stained glass in their home, "Magnifico Castle". Patrick's glass mosaic, "Trinity", can be seen at Saint Rose. He has made restored stained glass in more than 150 churches and synagogues in the New York area. In collaboration with architects, his work in mosaics, cast crystal panels, and blown glass are in homes all around Long Island and New York. Patrick is a founder, first president, and member of the board of directors of the Rockaway Artists Alliance. His vision is to develop a national stained glass training institute at the Russell Sage Memorial Church, as well as a glass blowing center at the RAA Fort Tilden Arts Center.
The always very dashing Patrick Clark referred to the other honorees of the evening and stated, "I know why they're being honored, but why are you honoring me?" He thanked Father Peter and the parish for "having been given the opportunity to create. That's what we artists live for!"
"A Night of Roses" was truly a night of beauty and an affair to remember!
***Now, whether you take the #4 or the #7 or simply go by car, you'll get to the heart of it, New York, New York!

Volunteers needed for East Providence EMA program
EAST PROVIDENCE — The City of East Providence has an ongoing program with the Rhode Island Department of Health to plan for large-scale public health emergencies. In the event of such an emergency, points-of-dispensing (PODs) will be established to provide medications or vaccinations to the public quickly to prevent illness or death.
A MEDS plan was exercised at the H1N1 flu clinic in 2010, and also at seasonal flu clinics run by the City. H1N1 was relatively small in the scale of possibilities; in the event of a true large scale medical emergency, dozens of staffers would be needed to ensure safe and efficient medical dispensing to our residents.
As part of its preparedness program, East Providence Emergency Management and the RI Department of Health will offer a MEDS overview event for City residents who may be interested in volunteering to staff a medical point-of-dispensing location in the City.
Participants will learn the purpose and functions of a POD and issues related to mass antibiotic dispensing, and how they can assist their City in this important initiative. This event, which should take no more than an hour, will be offered on Thursday, Nov. 14, at 6 p.m. in the Program Room at the Weaver Library, 41 Grove Ave. For more information, call the Planning Department-Emergency Management office number at 435-7531, extension 11151.
The East Providence Emergency Management Agency (EMA), housed within the City's Planning Department, plans and prepares for natural and manmade disasters. The agency educates the public, coordinates evacuations and the opening of shelters, and provides meteorological support for the City. City EMA works closely with other local, state and federal agencies including the RI Department of Health, RI Emergency Management Agency, and FEMA on actual emergencies and planning initiatives.
The East Providence Emergency Management webpage can be found on the City's website, http://www.eastprovidenceri.net/ , under "City Departments online. Facebook users can find updates on the "East Providence Emergency Management Agency" Facebook Page.

Stereo to mono
I'm tyring to tie stereo inputs to mono feeding a TA2020. The best way that I have found is to run both stereo inputs into 10k resistors and then join the resistors and feed it into one side of the amp. I've been told that I should time the input to ground, but I don't understand why.
I'm hoping/asking for some feedback.
THank you for your time,
The way you're doing it is fine, but 10k might be a little on the high side. It could potentially cause some treble loss. Depending on the signal source anything down to 1k should work.

Halle Berry Hosts 4th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic
Looking fierce on the course, Halle Berry posed for a few photos at her fourth annual Celebrity Golf Classic held at the Wilshire Country Club on Monday afternoon (April 16) in Los Angeles.
The Oscar winner was glowing as she rocked casual attire including a grey top with rolled-up jeans and a trendy pair of black sandals while she greeted guests at her event.
In personal news, the 45-year-old actress made her first red carpet appearance on Saturday (April 14) since breaking the news of her engagement to French actor Olivier Martinez back in March.
"Who knew? I swore it off, right? Never say never, people!" she joked about her new status.
The stunning "Catwoman" actress shared the spotlight with her future hubby when they starred together in 2010's "Dark Tide" and also began their love affair.
She will be creating a new family that will include her adorable daughter, 5-year-old Nahla, who gets along great with her man.
"Being a mother is probably my greatest sense of purpose, but this gives me another sense of purpose outside my own family," Miss Berry said at the Silver Rose Gala on Saturday.
Enjoy the pictures of Halle Berry at the 4th Annual Halle Berry Celebrity Golf Classic (April 16).

Reader Email – Walt Jr Hammered Drunk At Hofstra
This past weekend I got to meet Walt Jr. at Mcheebs, known as one of the Hofstra bars on Long Island. Does this kid not have the life, just traveling across country, campus to campus, getting with as many college smokes before his fame runs out. Can't always. Attached are pictures and a video.
P.s. That last picture is my friend.. Yah she brought him back and made him breakfast in the morning. NSFW on the way.
Make no mistake about it, John – you did not meet Walt Jr. last weekend. Because this is 100%, without a doubt, unequivocally Flynn we're looking at here. Walt Jr. eats breakfast and works at the car wash. Flynn gets absolutely hammertime shitfaced and rips through smokes at Hofstra. Just like how Walter White was a Chemistry teacher and Heisenberg was a meth kingpin. The dark side of Walt Jr is Flynn and literally no pair of panties is safe if he's in the vicinity.
Shout out to RJ Mitte if he really is just touring the country making appearances at college parties and shit like that. Not sure when the next big "Cerebral palsy son" acting role comes along so live it up while you can my man. Get at us if you want free tickets to our NYC Blackout show. You'd bring the house down and literally get buried beneath mountains of pussy.

His Master's Voice
|His Master's Voice
|Parent company
|EMI (British Commonwealth except Canada)
RCA (western hemisphere)
JVC (Japan)
|Country of origin
|United Kingdom
His Master's Voice, abbreviated HMV, is a famous trademark in the music and recording industry and was for many years the unofficial name of a large British record label. The name was coined in the 1890s as the title of a painting of a dog named Nipper, listening to a wind-up gramophone. In the original painting, the dog was listening to a cylinder phonograph. In the 1970s, the statue of the dog and gramophone, His Master's Voice, were cloaked in bronze and was awarded by the record company (EMI) to artists and or music producers and or composers as a Music Award and often only after selling more than 100.000 sound carriers such as LP's.
The painting[edit]
The trademark image comes from a painting by English artist Francis Barraud and titled His Master's Voice. It was acquired from the artist in 1899 by the newly formed Gramophone Company and adopted by the Victor Talking Machine Company in the United States.[1] According to contemporary Gramophone Company publicity material, the dog, a terrier named Nipper, had originally belonged to Barraud's brother, Mark. When Mark Barraud died, Francis inherited Nipper, with a cylinder phonograph and recordings of Mark's voice. Francis noted the peculiar interest that the dog took in the recorded voice of his late master emanating from the horn, and conceived the idea of committing the scene to canvas.
The logo[edit]
In early 1899, Francis Barraud applied for copyright of the original painting using the descriptive working title Dog looking at and listening to a Phonograph. He was unable to sell the work to any cylinder phonograph company, but the Gramophone Company purchased it later that year, under the condition that Barraud modify it to show one of their disc machines. The image was first used on the company's catalogue dated December 1899, and additional copies were subsequently commissioned from the artist for various corporate purposes.[2] In July 1900, the gramophone's inventor, Emile Berliner, took out an American copyright to the picture, and it was adopted as a trademark by the Consolidated Talking Machine Company, which was reorganized as the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1901. Victor used the image more aggressively than its UK partner, and from 1902 most Victor records had a simplified drawing of Barraud's dog-and-gramophone image on their labels. Magazine advertisements urged record buyers to "look for the dog."
In British Commonwealth countries, the Gramophone Company did not use the dog on its record labels until 1909. The following year the Gramophone Company replaced the Recording Angel trademark in the upper half of the record labels with the Nipper logo.
The company was not formally called HMV or His Master's Voice, but was identified by that term due to the prominence of the phrase on the record labels. Records issued by the company before February 1908 were generally referred to as G&Ts, while those after that date are usually called HMV records.
This image continued to be used as a trademark by Victor in the U. S., Canada, and Latin America, and then by Victor's successor, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA). In Commonwealth countries (except Canada) it was used by subsidiaries of the Gramophone Company, which ultimately became part of EMI.
The trademark's ownership is divided among different companies in different countries, reducing its value in the globalised music market. The name HMV is used by a chain of music shops owned by HMV, mainly in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, and Japan.
In 1921 the Gramophone Company opened the first HMV shop in London. In 1929 RCA absorbed Victor, and with it a major shareholding in the Gramophone Company, which Victor had owned since 1920. In 1931 RCA was instrumental in the creation of EMI, which continued to own the His Master's Voice name and image in the UK. In 1935 RCA sold its stake in EMI but continued to own Victor and the rights to His Master's Voice in the Americas. HMV continued to distribute RCA recordings until RCA severed its ties with EMI in 1957, which led EMI to purchase Capitol Records as their distributor in the western hemisphere.
RCA Victor's Japanese subsidiary, the Victor Company of Japan (JVC), became independent, and today they still use the "Victor" brand and Nipper in Japan only.[3] In 1968, RCA introduced a modern logo and restricted the use of Nipper to the album covers of Red Seal Records. The Nipper trademark was reinstated to most RCA record labels in the Western Hemisphere beginning in late 1976 and was once again widely used in RCA advertising throughout the late 1970s and 1980s. The dog reappeared for a time on RCA television sets and was also used on the RCA CED videodisc system. EMI owned the His Master's Voice label in the UK until the 1980s, and the HMV shops until 1998.
In 1967, EMI converted the HMV label into an exclusive classical music label and dropped its POP series of popular music. HMV's POP series artists' roster was moved to Columbia Graphophone and Parlophone and licensed American POP record deals to Stateside Records.[4]
The globalised market for CDs pushed EMI into abandoning the HMV label in favour of "EMI Classics", a name they could use worldwide; however, it was revived between 1988 and 1992 for Morrissey's recordings. The HMV trademark is now owned by the retail chain in the UK. The formal trademark transfer from EMI took place in 2003.[5] The old HMV classical music catalogue is now controlled by the Warner Classics unit of Warner Music Group.[6] Reissues of HMV pop material that EMI previously controlled are now reissued on Warner's Parlophone label.[7]
The dog-and-gramophone image is now licensed by RCA Records and its parent company, Sony Music Entertainment, from Technicolor SA, which operates RCA's consumer electronics division (still promoted by Nipper the dog). Thomson SA acquired the division from General Electric after GE absorbed the RCA Corporation in 1986.[8] The image of "His Master's Voice" exists in the U.S. as a trademark only on radios and radios combined with phonographs; the trademark is owned by RCA Trademark Management SA, a subsidiary of Technicolor.
With that exception, the "His Master's Voice" dog-and-gramophone image is in the public domain in the U.S., its trademark registrations having expired in 1989 (for sound recordings and phonograph cabinets), 1992 (television sets, television-radio combination sets), and 1994 (sound recording and reproducing machines, needles, and records).
Nipper worldwide[edit]
The "His Master's Voice" logo was used around the world, and the motto became well known in different languages. In Europe these include "La voix de son maître," (France), "La voz de su amo" (Spain), "A voz do dono" (Portugal), "La voce del padrone" (Italy), "Die Stimme seines Herrn" (Germany), "Husbondens Röst" (Sweden), "GŁos Swego Pana" (Poland), "Sin Herres Stemme" (Norway) and "Sahibinin Sesi" (Turkey).
On 1 April 2007, HMV announced that Gromit, the animated dog of Wallace and Gromit, would stand in for Nipper for a three-month period, promoting children's DVDs in its UK stores.[9]
The 1958 LP album cover of Elvis' Golden Records shows pictures of various RCA 45s with Nipper on their labels. On the British version, these images were blacked out for copyright reasons. This type of editing took place with many other RCA releases in England. Similarly, the album covers and some labels of EMI imports which were sold in the U.S. often had a sticker placed over the Nipper trademark.
In the 1946 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon Daffy Doodles, Daffy Duck is a "mustache fiend" who draws mustaches on advertising signs, including one of "His Master's Voice".
The movie Superman Returns (2006) contains a scene early on set in Kansas, in which a "His Master's Voice" radio is clearly shown. His Master's Voice radios have never been sold in the U.S., due to RCA holding the "Nipper" copyright. The movie was made in Australia, and the nearest "prop" was obviously used.
In the 2008 film Valkyrie, a Deutsche Grammophon recording of "Ride of the Valkyries" with Nipper and the "Die Stimme seines Herrn" motto on the label was shown spinning on a 78-rpm wind-up gramophone as the music played in the protagonist's living room.
Homage is paid to the iconic dog-and-gramophone image in the 1999 feature film Wild Wild West in which a dog resembling Nipper runs to the side of a recently departed character and looks into an ear horn. The film, however, is set in 1869, 30 years before Barraud created his work.
EMI continued to expand internationally through the 1990s. The name HMV is still used by the chain of entertainment shops founded by the Gramophone Company in the UK and, until 2017, in Canada.
In 1998 HMV Media was created as a separate company, leaving EMI with a 43% stake. The firm bought the Waterstones chain of bookshops and merged them with Dillons the UK booksellers. In 2002 it floated on the London Stock Exchange as HMV Group plc, leaving EMI with only a token holding.
HMV shops in Australia, Ireland, and the UK also use the Nipper trademark. HMV applied for trademark status in order to use Nipper at HMV stores in Canada but in 2010 abandoned the application,[10] presumably because the rights to Nipper in Canada are part of the RCA brand portfolio now owned by Technicolor SA and licensed to other companies.
As of August 2006, there were over 400 HMV stores worldwide.[11] The website is operated by HMV Guernsey.
On 15 January 2013, HMV Group plc entered receivership; stores in Ireland closed 16 January 2013 and were no longer accepting vouchers. The HMV website posted a receivership notice and no further online sales were made.[12]
According to the HMV website, the organization was restructured by Hilco and, while some stores were closed, it has reopened debt-free and continues to trade.
