I decided to cancel a cruise reservation over six months before sailing. I called the travel agency to cancel. I was connected to a voicemail requesting my name and telephone number for return call. I left my information. I decided instead of waiting for the call back, I would send an email message. I specifically rquested CANCELLATION of the cruise reservation including my name, cruise reservation number, cruiseline, ship, and sail date. I received the following form letter demanding cancellation charges of $100 per passenger before any other action is taken, even though the form letter clearly states that Royal Caribbean Cruiseline does not require cancellation charges at this time.
Consumers beware of hidden text when booking any cruise with this travel agency.
Crucon Cancellation form letter:
We have received notice that you are considering cancellation of your cruise reservation(s) booked through CruCon Cruise Outlet. [continued below]....
YOUR RESERVATION(S) WILL REMAIN ACTIVE UNTIL WE RECEIVE THE FORM FROM YOU. CruCon sends cancellation confirmations back to the email address from which the form was sent within 24 hours of receiving the form. If you do not hear from us within 24 hours, you MUST contact us by phone to ensure that we received your request. Failure to do so could result in additional cruise line penalties being assessed to your reservation by the cruise line. Please remember that refunds can take up to (2) billing cycles to post on your credit card statement, depending on your card provider.

I have this really frustrating problem on where I simply can't kick the heroin addict in the box. I tried clicking everywhere but it would not work. He only says "hellooooo? No response. Doped to the eyeballs. At least he's got a nice place to sleep." I've done everything required and now I am left with him. Is there anyway to fix this?

I received this in my monthly box a while back & have been hooked ever since! This is by far, the best eye liner I've ever used. I use others too, (when I run out), and always end up ordering Eyeko again!5

Meet Maranda Lanouette
Sadly, Maranda's life changed dramatically when she turned to look behind and fell off her ATV, breaking her neck.
The ground ambulance wasn't capable of reaching her remote location, and the only other option was placing Maranda on a backboard and driving her out by ATV along a bumpy trail. Then there would be an hour and a half drive to the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg.
Luckily, the STARS helicopter was nearby and able to fly to her to Winnipeg within 20 minutes.
Maranda uses a wheelchair and is moving forward with her life. Recently, she was elected to town council and volunteers as an office coordinator with the Ste.-Anne Police Department.
She shares her story any chance she gets.
"STARS didn't just save me. They gave my husband his wife, my children their mother, my parents their daughter, and my siblings their sister," she said. "I would not be here today if Manitoba did not have this service."

Introducing Facebook's FIRST!!!1 Button
I argued a few weeks ago that Facebook's Like button got the incentives and multiplicities wrong, leading to a social experience that feels very isolating. There are simply too many sites for us to Like, and too few of my friends doing the Liking. Well, let's adjust those incentives.
I'd like to introduce you to my prototype revised Like button, the FIRST!!!1 button:
For any of you who can't see the image, that's right — just change the word 'Like' to 'First!!!1′.
Changing the game from "do my friends want to see this?" to "did I see this before any of my other friends got here?" will work much better, methinks. Now it's actually a good thing if none of your friends have Liked the page yet. What's more, you get implicit cool points for being on the bleeding edge of Internet culture. Think of what it would mean if you were the first, second, or third person in your entire social network to have Liked the Rickroll video.
Alright, who's going to FIRST!!!1 in the comments?
9 Responses to "Introducing Facebook's FIRST!!!1 Button"
But won't this button encourage users to come across as even MORE self-important?
So is this a button we can use to promote contest on our webpages or will it be for Facebook alone?
Taking this seriously -
So, it's an incentive for the first person to click, but isn't it a disincentive for everyone else? How much do people want to be second, or third, or later?
What would be cool is if the UI you get were customized to you. Say, if you're an early adopter, you'd get a "First!!1″ button, but if you're a late adopter, you'd see a "17 of your friends like this. Like?" button. I figure Facebook has enough information to make a good guess about which one you are, past on your past "like"-button clicking behavior.
hahah NICE!!!1
That is a great incentive to subscribe to a feed and hawkishly watch your streams each day!
haha.. in Indonesia, there is a term called PERTAMAX!
so many people are compete to post this term when they comment on blog, forum, etc…

Games organisers, at the shooting range at least, have got a way to go before spectators are fully schooled on proper viewing ettiquette.
Spectators at the Dr Karni Singh range continue to flout large written warnings not to use their cellphones, causing grief for competitors. During the preliminary rounds of the women's 50m rifle, and again at the men's smallbore, phones rang several times while shooters were taking aim, prompting several angry altercations
and bouts of finger-pointing from shooters claiming their medal hopes are being compromised.
Still at the range, a schoolboy error by Aussie's oldest athlete, 57-year-old Michelangelo Giustiniano, has cost him a medal in the men's 25m centrefire pistol event. In silver medal position, Giustiniano had a brain fade and mistakenly fired all five of his shoot-off rounds into the target belonging to the competitor standing next to him, Singaporean Lip Meng Poh. Damn!
Riders in Sunday's men's l68km road race had more than Delhi's heat and grime to contend with there was also some of the city's famed stray wildlife to avoid on the winding journey through the city streets.
Despite the 13.7km loop course resembling a ghost town after armed security sealed off the perimeter, several times riders had to dodge stray dogs and the odd monkey during the 3 -hour slog. And how's this for the-reason-I-didn't win gold, from
the Isle of Man's Mark Cavendish, winner of 15 Tour de France stages in the past three years: "We didn't have a team as strong as the Australians . . . in our team we had an electrician and a man from the water board!"
As the bowls competition drags into its second week (without, it must be said, any success so far for the Kiwis) and squash also takes in interminable time to sort out its medals, what about this for brevity. Gambian wrestler Famara Jarou, up against Indian pin-up boy Sushil Kumar in the 66kg freestyle division, lasted all of 9 seconds. Kumar pinned Jarou with his very first move, the shortest bout in Commonwealth Games history.
And in one straight out of the "weird and macarbe" file, in seems Delhi's 'anything goes' approach to life also extends to its media, with the Hindustan Times featuring daily in its classified columns large Hue and Cry notices, complete with graphic photos, of unidentified dead found in city streets. Descriptions such as 'thin build', 'age unknown' and 'wearing white colour pajama (sic)', provide general details but it's the close up photos of the deceased in
various states of riogor mortis and/or decomposition that is most alarming. Can't imagine it'll be something that catches on in New Zealand newspapers anytime soon.

Heartbroken and need help with quality of life question!
Our 15 year old Border Collie, Mick, got vestibular disease Monday. We thought he had a stroke. But we quickly figured it out with Google. We are on day 5. We carry him outside, to do his business. He has peed Monday afternoon, not at all Tuesday, Wednesday twice and pooped once, Thursday peed twice, and as of now he hasnt done anything today. He has eaten a total of 1.75 cans of food, we used the turkey baster to get water in him, but he drank from his water bowl twice yesterday. His eyes have quit moving, and his head tilt isn't bad. He can't manage to get up himself, and 99% of the time he just lays in the family room.
Dillemma: He is 15, he has no cartilage between his joints, has arthritis. Because of his age his come back from vestibular disease may be very slow (weeks). When I look him in the eyes he just looks old and tired. Do we put him through this recovery process (where he feela like he just got off a spinny ride), and if so what kind of quality of life is left. :'(

Hugs to you. My last old guy got CVS when he was about 14. He had just finished recovering from a cruciate operation. He was able to recover from the cvs..but not all the way. He had a head tilt & a stilted gait for the rest of his life. It is a tough decision. I struggled with the same questions you have. He still wagged his tail & was able to go outside on his own. He still loved his walks..even if it was just 2 houses down & back. He had that spark in his eyes that told me he wasn't done yet. When the spark dimmed & he no longer was able to go for any walkies, I knew it was time. He made it to just about 16.
I wish you luck & trust your heart for this decision.

You don't mention if you took him to the vet or not... like Wiley, my 14 year old got CVD and my vet put her on steroids. It DID help, at least made her feel better and she started eating again. Like Wiley, she did not come back 100%, she still had a head tilt, but lived another two years of good life before heart disease finally took her from me.

I dont know much about this disease but I was wondering the same as Toto, you did not mention if you took him to the vet or not?
If not I would certainly get him in and at the very least see what your vet has to say and hopefully get him on the road to recovery.
If you have seen the vet then I suppose go from there, but if he has a fighting chance, I would give him that fighting chance!!
Good Luck and my heart is with you also

I am currently going through a similar situation with my 13 year old retriever. She was diagnosed with vestibular disease last August. It lasted 3 days-I can't remember the medicine the vet gave her that helped her start eating again. She also has no cartilidge between her joints and I have been giving her PREVICOX since August which helps a lot but she still has trouble getting up and down. On top of this she also has hypothyroidism which is controlled by ThyroTabs. Life with my aged dog is day by day, but at this point she is still going outside and eating on a regular basis. I am not a vet but five days of the symptoms that you describe would compel me to take Mick to a vet immediately. I believe that a vet will steer you to the path you should follow. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

First Taste of Bacardi HTML version
dipped the towel back into the warm water and returned it to Anna's pussy area, both
women would let out an "Ummmmm!" Bacardi did a thorough job of making sure not to
leave any soap residue, especially on between Anna's legs. Then she dropped the
washcloth in the container a final time and left it there. She reached up for both their
glasses and handed Anna hers.
The two women drank the 7-up down thirstily while staring over the top of the glass at
one another. They lowered the glasses from their lips and Anna instinctively leaned
over and planted a light kiss on Bacardi's plump lips. At least it began as a light kiss.
When Bacardi gently parted her lips, Anna's tongue had darted inside before she knew
it. In the next instant, they were tonguing and exploring each other's hot and hungry
mouth. Bacardi stopped long enough to take both their glasses and set them back on
top of the headboard. As they embraced, her lips sought Anna's again.
Bacardi used the hand that she wasn't leaning on to squeeze and pluck Anna's erect
nipples that were begging for attention. She removed her mouth from Anna's so she
could lower her head and seize a nipple with her teeth. Anna let out a squeal of pain
and pleasure that sent a shiver of excitement through Bacardi. "Oooh you love that too
don't you baby?" Bacardi whispered in a husky voice, not expecting an answer.
Bacardi made a mental note of Anna's reaction to the bite she had just given her, then
she began sucking on the titty and rolling it around in her mouth. Anna squirmed under
her lips, arching her back and shoving more of the fleshy mound into Bacardi's mouth.
A disappointed groan escaped from Anna's lips; Bacardi had removed her mouth from
the glistening wet nipple. "Open your legs – WIDE", Bacardi commanded in a low voice
that clearly said she meant business. Bacardi realized that subconsciously she was
using techniques on Anna that she used in her and Gino's sex games. She knew that
she was too used to Gino coaching her and giving orders while she ate pussy. Whether
they were working a sex scheme on a woman for money or having a special sex party
purely for fun, she followed Gino's lead. Now Bacardi found herself demanding sex in
the same way that he instructed. Bacardi tried to push the realization out of her mind; it
bothered her to think of Anna like one of her and Gino's many "marks". Gino don't need
to know nothing about her. I got other things in mind for this pussy.
Bacardi moved back and gave Anna some room to reposition herself. Without saying a
word, Anna willingly obeyed and drew her knees up almost to her chest; then she
opened her legs and let them drop to the bed. Her legs were spread wide and her clit
peeked out from the half shaven pussy. By now, it was wet again and her pussy tongue
was glistening just like her wet nipple.
Pussy Interrupted
Bacardi lay on her stomach, between Anna's spread eagle legs, preparing to service
her properly. From the position she was in, Anna couldn't reach Bacardi's ass, breasts
or pussy comfortably. All she could do was lean back against the headboard and allow
Bacardi to satisfy her. Bacardi took both hands and parted Anna's pussy lips wide,

Wednesday July 2,2014 : BRIT POKER PRO WINS THE HOLLYWOOD POKER OPEN
$351,097 prize for Simon Deadman.
The World Series of Poker spectacular was not the only game in town this week; the Hollywood Poker Open at the M Resort Spa and Casino in Las Vegas proved it was also capable of pulling in players with an entry field of 692 for the $2,500 buy-in event, creating a tempting prize pool of $1,560,460.
The entry field was well up on last year's event, when 631 players registered, and included a long list of top players like Brian Hastings, Chris DeMaci, Mike Sowers, Michael Katz, Andrew Lichtenberger, Chris Moneymaker, Lauren Kling, Jacob Bazeley and Amit Makhija.
Three days in, the field was down to 23 players, which was quickly reduced to a final table comprising Deadman and Michael Wang, Kitty Kuo, Martin Godsk, Elliott Zaydman, Robbie Bakker, Bradley Yazici, Damian Salas and Mike Sowers.
Deadman played a careful game but when the action reached the four handed stage, he used his growing chip stack effectively to advance through the survivors. In this he was aided by a massive double up at the expense of then chip leader Kitty Kuo, eliminating her and positioning himself strongly to take on Michael Wang in the heads up, a brief affair which the Brit player dominated to claim the first prize of $351,097 leaving Wang with a runner up reward of $216,904.
It was Deadman's biggest career win yet and, he revealed, a welcome change from a run that has seen him finish as runner up in major tournaments this year at least six times.
Now flush with cash, Las Vegas - and the World Series of Poker events still to come, including the Main Event - is Deadman's oyster.

Canberra has become a political construction site, with Prime Minister-elect Tony Abbott clearing out the offices of government and Labor picking over the wreckage to rebuild a shattered party.
Abbott is already setting to work on dumping Labor's carbon and mining taxes, and yesterday turned his guns on people smugglers with moves to launch a military-led taskforce to stem the flow of asylum seekers from Indonesia. "Their game is up," he told Channel Nine. "It's all over for them."
His incoming Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop, was also wielding the knife, sacking former Victorian Labor Premier Steve Bracks as Consul-General in New York, a post he has only just assumed. Senior Labor MPs said the sacking was "petty and vindictive".
Meanwhile, blades were being sharpened before Labor's first caucus meeting in Opposition this Friday, at which ousted Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will formally resign as leader. While Rudd has said he intends to remain as member for the Brisbane seat of Griffith, a number of Labor figures want him gone from Parliament altogether.
They include party elder Simon Crean, and former ministers Stephen Smith, Greg Combet and Craig Emerson. Emerson told ABC TV that Rudd had destabilised Crean and Kim Beazley when they were Opposition Leaders, and Julia Gillard as Prime Minister. "You should never reward treachery."
So far no one has put a hand up for Rudd's old job, historically seen as a poisoned chalice after a defeat at the polls. Former Deputy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and former Education Minister Bill Shorten are the front-runners. Both remain undeclared contenders, but Shorten is emerging as the most likely successor.
And yesterday the confusion and anger around the likely election of a hodge-podge of micro parties to the Senate spread to the Lower House.
Mining magnate Clive Palmer, despite leading by a whisker in the continuing count in the Queensland seat of Fairfax, believes he has no chance of winning because of "irregularities ... [in a] corrupt system".
He said his likely two new Palmer United Party senators would vote to block Abbott's planned legislation if the Coalition did not agree to electoral reform.
Abbott's priorities are to decide on his Cabinet and have them sworn in next week, to set in place legislation to repeal the carbon and mining taxes, and to stop the boats with his new Operation Sovereign Borders.
His Cabinet will hold few surprises. Most of his senior shadow ministers will be confirmed in their new jobs.
Abbott has already spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O'Neill about the continued use of Labor's asylum-seeker detention centres, and is working on the details of further, tougher moves.

Switching gas and electricity supplier could save you up to £300 a year. Here's how to do it.
We all know gas and electricity aren't cheap. Bills can up to well over a grand a year, and a cold winter can push them up even more.
But while we can't magic away these bills, we can slash this cost by up to £300 simply by switching supplier.
Here's how.
Before looking for a new supplier, have a think about what deal would be best for you. Would you be happy paying by direct debit, or viewing your bills online? Big savings are on offer for those who change from paying by cash or cheque or switch to online-only deals instead of getting bills through the letterbox.
But even if you haven't got internet access, or prefer paying the bills as they come along, if you haven't switched for a good few years chances are you can still save a fair amount.
Once you've decided on what type of deal suits you, gather together copies of recent bills so that you know roughly how much energy you use each month. Also make sure you've got your full postcode and current tariff name at hand.
Now you're ready to shop around for a new deal – and the best way to do so is to use a couple of price comparison websites. These will scour the market for you to find the best quote possible.
Once you spot a better deal, call your current supplier and let it know. Providers want your custom, so it might offer you a better deal in return for your loyalty.
If it doesn't, there's nothing stopping you from switching.
The switch itself should be fairly easy – all you need to do is take a couple of meter readings and then your new supplier should sort the rest out.
It takes between six and eight weeks but during this time you will continue receiving energy from your old provider. And don't worry; there will be no interruption to supply during this time.
If you change your mind, you have seven working days from the time you signed the contract to cancel it without being charged.
But remember, if you're on a fixed-term deal you might be charged if you switch it before the contract ends – so always check with your current provider and consider any exit fees when working out your overall saving.
Nearly half of us haven't switched energy provider in the past 12 months. If you want to be quids in, don't be one of them.

First off, we would like to thank Dr. Vino for hosting the last Wine Blog Wednesday, #37, on indigenous grapes. As our post highlighted, we loved the topic both because of our convenient location in Iberia with over 500+ native grapes to choose from, but also because we had the unique and unexpected experience of drinking an absolutely fantastic Conca de Barbara wine!
The pressure, however, is on for Catavino, because we've just been handed the ever glowing WBW torch for this month's WBW! And as many of you know, to follow in the footsteps of so many great hosts and themes is a bit daunting, but we've risen to the challenge by creating a topic that is both near and dear to our hearts, Portuguese Table Wine.
The theme of WBW #38 was inspired by our month long tribute to Portuguese wine. At the end of July, we realized that Portuguese wine just wasn't getting the attention it deserved on Catavino. Consequently, we booked a flight to Lisbon and enjoyed four days of intense wine tastings, winery visits and restaurant hopping. By the end of our adventure, we discovered that Portuguese Table Wine deserves more conversation than the wine world has been giving it. With thousands of producers from all over Portugal making quality wine, and so many different styles to choose from, we concluded that our WBW theme must be PORTUGUESE TABLE WINE!
But like the title says, we have some caveats! Outside of Portugal, what people generally know about Portuguese wines fall into a few categories:
So with this in mind, your mission is to step away from Port and Madeira and focus only on Portuguese Table Wines by Wednesday, October 10th! You can visit the Alentejo, Dao, Barraida, Tras os Montes, Algrave, Setubal, Estremadura, in addition to several other regions, breaking down all those preconceived notions you've held about Portuguese wine.
The issue, however, comes down to availability. Because Portuguese table wine lacks the international prestige it deserves, you may find yourself having to be a bit more proactive and creative in finding the bottle you want. Therefore, to make your life easier conducting research, wine procurement, recipes searches, and general wine knowledge about this small but wine rich country, we've made a packet for you filled with information and tips on how to find that perfect Portuguese table wine.
At the bottom of this post is a link to download a PDF that includes: regional maps; importers in the USA, Canada, and UK (sorry we couldn't cover other countries at this point, but if you let us know others we'll add them); links that can help you with research on regions and styles; and a few other fun things. Our goal is to help you not only explore Portugal and its wines, but to actually walk away with a some solid tools you can use in the future when tasting these wines.
So head out and find a Portuguese table wine, write a little blurb on your blog about it in whatever language fits your fancy, and send it to ….@catavino.net. If you don't have a blog, but want to share your tasty treat with us, than just email us your notes at the same address. Then, once we've collected all the tasting notes, we will still do the traditional round up and link backs, but you'll also be in for an additional surprise. We don't want to give away our secret yet, so you'll have to stay tuned!
Now the bonus points! We will also offer up "bonus points" (no monetary value other than a possible happy dance) for people who:
We would also love to have you contribute photos! If you have a picture of the bottle, or the event, make sure to add it to our Wines of Spain and Portugal Flickr Group. We'll include a slide show in our wrap up of everyone's wines, and hopefully, food!
Take a moment, open a bottle of Portuguese wine, and really tell us what you think of it. Did it surprise you, move you, and make you want to seek out others? We can't wait to hear about it! We'll be doing a special tasting ourselves alongside a delicious meal that we hope will not soon to be forgotten.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
The Tennessee rowing team's Varsity 8+ shell claimed victory by a convincing margin against the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday, while the Lady Vols also posted a win in the 2nd Novice 8+ race.
UT's Varsity 8+ boat finished over 10 seconds ahead of the Louisville shell on the waters of Fort Loudoun Lake. The Lady Vol squad, comprised of Lizzie Brown (cox.), Kaitlin Bargreen, Nicole Bold, Lauren Wells, Chelsea Pemberton, Dana Forbes, Kacey Montgomery, Melissa DiCerbo and Jessica Shreder turned in a time of 6:19.8 over the 2000m course, compared to the Cardinals' 6:29.9. In that same race, Tennessee's second Varsity 8+ crew of Erin Artz (cox.), Kelly Kraiss, McKenzie Craig, Andrea Bagwell, Lindsay Jones, Mary Gruzalski, Kay Logan, Amy McIntosh and Mary Beth Lewis finished just over a second behind UL with a clocking of 6:31.1.
"I'm really proud of how the varsity is working through the first part of our season," UT Head Coach Lisa Glenn said. "Everybody is doing a nice job of re-focusing on the elements of the race that are necessary to improve boat speed. Both crews learned from last week's race and executed better today. The Varsity 8+ and second Varsity 8+ each came into the race with a couple of concrete goals in mind, which they were able to accomplish."
Louisville provided a challenge in the Novice 8+, clocking a time of 7:06.0 to outpace the Lady Vol N8+ shell powered to a time of 7:13.3 by Maggie Wheeler (cox.), Lindsey Groves, Beth Schwartz, Amy McCormick, Katie Peterson, Caitlyn Cleary, Channel Hambrick, Holly Holmes and Andrea Searby. Tennessee, however, bounced back in the second Novice 8+ with Devon Johnson (cox.), Groves, Schwartz, McCormick, Stephanie Rinehart, Holmes, Hambrick, Whitney Tehan and Jaclyn Adams leading the team to a time of 7:55.1, well ahead of the Cardinals' 8:15.7.
The Lady Vols also fell in the Varsity 4+ race, as Louisville recorded a time of 7:31.1 to outpace the UT shell of Jovanna Vick (cox.), Hilary Gilmore, Kelly Kravitz, Marissa Allen and Elizabeth Freeman (7:36.1) and the Orange and White boat of Jessica Dainty (Cox.), Ariana Fitzgerald, Diane Samu, Ashley Anders and Hillary Graber (7:53.0).
For their next competition, the Lady Vols hit the road for the first time this spring, as the Varsity 8+ crew heads west to California for the San Diego Crew Classic, April 5, on scenic Mission Bay.

Scott Allen, a doctor at Brown University, was among the authors. And this month, he joined with colleagues to publish a new article in the journal Science suggesting the Bush Administration used bad science to justify the torture program.
The piece also makes several suggestions for shifts in policy. Among them: greater independence for doctors from the chain of command.
The Phoenix recently caught up with Allen for a Q&A about his original findings and the recommendations in his new piece. The interview is edited and condensed for length.
DID YOU, ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, FIND IT SHOCKING THAT DOCTORS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS WERE INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND MONITORING OF THE TORTURE PROGRAM? Absolutely, I did. When the very first stories about torture started coming out, my initial concern — and why I first got involved — was my thought that doctors are always a part of these prison detention settings and were seeing these detainees.
So my initial concern was, well they must have seen some evidence or heard something to suggest that these detainees were being subjected to torture and abuse. And my initial question was, what did they do? So, to be honest with you, I had some expectation they were hesitant to deal with it or confront it or report it or document it. I would have been disappointed, but not surprised.
What surprised me was just what you said — as I, with my colleagues, began to uncover how central health professionals were to the conceptualization, the design, the deployment, and the monitoring of this program. They were really intimately involved in every stage. That did surprise me and I find it deeply disturbing.
AND I WONDER IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN, TO THE LAYMAN, WHY THIS IS SO ANTITHETICAL TO THE HEALTH PROFESSIONAL'S ETHIC. Well, remember that to practice medicine, there is what we sometimes refer to as the social contract. We give physicians and other health professionals extraordinary privileges. Think about it: we can put you into a coma, we can take a scalpel and slice you open, we can do extraordinary things that other people would be arrested for. And the reason we're allowed to do those things is because there is this basic understanding that we are going to act in your interest to help you. But the whole contract is based on the foundation of trust between doctor and patient — and that trust is based on that "first do no harm ethic," that we're going to act in your interest and we're not going to act to harm you. So anything that undermines that trust, or is in conflict with that basic foundation, undermines the practice of medicine.
PHYSICIANS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS HAS ALLEGED THAT MONITORING TORTURE TECHNIQUES FOR EFFECTIVENESS GETS CLOSE TO HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION. AND THAT'S A CHARGE THAT INEVITABLY CONJURES MEMORIES OF NAZI GERMANY. IS THERE AN ARGUMENT TO BE MADE THAT THE ARGUMENT IS GOING TOO FAR? IF NOT, WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S JUSTIFIED? Well, we've been careful to try to stay away from the understandably inflammatory [comparison to] the rather extreme and horrible experiments that the Nazis did — or, for that matter, that the Japanese did — on prisoners of war.

Paris - Caroline Wozniacki has turned to former Australian Open winner Thomas Johansson to help deliver the elusive Grand Slam crown she so desperately craves, even if it means enduring uncomfortable doses of tough love.
The blonde Dane, who has slipped to nine in the world after twice finishing as the year-ending world No 1 in 2010 and 2011, hired her neighbour Johansson as coach, to work alongside her father Piotr.
But the 'extra pair of hands' approach has not worked so far for Wozniacki whose relationship with Spanish coach Ricardo Sanchez ended after just two difficult months earlier this year.
The 21-year-old Wozniacki has yet to win a Grand Slam title with her best performance at a major coming at the 2009 US Open where she finished runner-up.
Sweden's Johansson, who lives in the same block as the Dane in Monte Carlo, won his only Grand Slam at the 2002 Australian Open.
"I have worked with him for a couple of weeks now, he's a great guy and we have a good connection. He lives under me, has played on the tour and has won a Grand Slam," she said.
"He can come in with tactical advice, see things and he's a hard worker which suits me. He tells me what he thinks and he's not soft, which I don't like.
"I don't like it when someone tells me, 'Oh, it's great, it's great' when it's actually terrible. I want someone who is strict and tells me things how they are."
Johansson has already insisted that Wozniacki can make that extra step to a breakthrough major, but warned it will take time.
"Caroline's a great player and in my opinion she should be a fixture in the top three. We must give it some time. You can't make miracles in such a short time," he told Danish daily Ekstra Bladet.
On Thursday, Wozniacki reached the third round of the French Open, breezing past Jarmila Gajdosova 6-1, 6-4 for a sixth win in six meetings against the Australian.
She will face either Kaia Kanepi of Estonia or Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu for a place in the last 16 where she had originally been scheduled to meet Serena Williams.
But the great American's shock first round defeat to France's Virginie Razzano on Tuesday has thrown the last quarter of the draw wide open with ninth seed Wozniacki now likely to face Maria Sharapova in the last eight.

The Story Girl HTML version
The Shadow Feared Of Man
We were all up early the next morning, dressing by candlelight. But early as it was we
found the Story Girl in the kitchen when we went down, sitting on Rachel Ward's blue
chest and looking important.
"What do you think?" she exclaimed. "Peter has the measles! He was dreadfully sick all
night, and Uncle Roger had to go for the doctor. He was quite light-headed, and didn't
know any one. Of course he's far too sick to be taken home, so his mother has come up to
wait on him, and I'm to live over here until he is better."
This was mingled bitter and sweet. We were sorry to hear that Peter had the measles; but
it would be jolly to have the Story Girl living with us all the time. What orgies of story
telling we should have!
"I suppose we'll all have the measles now," grumbled Felicity. "And October is such an
inconvenient time for measles--there's so much to do."
"I don't believe any time is very convenient to have the measles," Cecily said.
"Oh, perhaps we won't have them," said the Story Girl cheerfully. "Peter caught them at
Markdale, the last time he was home, his mother says."
"I don't want to catch the measles from Peter," said Felicity decidedly. "Fancy catching
them from a hired boy!"
"Oh, Felicity, don't call Peter a hired boy when he's sick," protested Cecily.
During the next two days we were very busy--too busy to tell tales or listen to them. Only
in the frosty dusk did we have time to wander afar in realms of gold with the Story Girl.
She had recently been digging into a couple of old volumes of classic myths and
northland folklore which she had found in Aunt Olivia's attic; and for us, god and
goddess, laughing nymph and mocking satyr, norn and valkyrie, elf and troll, and "green
folk" generally, were real creatures once again, inhabiting the orchards and woods and
meadows around us, until it seemed as if the Golden Age had returned to earth.
Then, on the third day, the Story Girl came to us with a very white face. She had been
over to Uncle Roger's yard to hear the latest bulletin from the sick room. Hitherto they
had been of a non-committal nature; but now it was only too evident that she had bad
"Peter is very, very sick," she said miserably. "He has caught cold someway--and the
measles have struck in--and--and--" the Story Girl wrung her brown hands together--"the
doctor is afraid he--he--won't get better."

Obama 'disappointed' in Russia's Snowden decision

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he was "disappointed" that Russia granted temporary asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, defying Obama administration demands that the former government contractor be sent back to the U.S. to face espionage charges.
Obama, in his first comments about Snowden since Russia's decision last week, said the move reflected the "underlying challenges" he faces in dealing with Moscow.
"There have been times where they slip back into Cold War thinking and a Cold War mentality," Obama said during an interview with NBC's "The Tonight Show."
Snowden, an ex-NSA systems analyst, is accused of leaking details about highly-secretive government surveillance programs. He spent several weeks in the transit zone of a Moscow airport before being granted asylum for a year.
Russia's decision has pushed the White House to reconsider Obama's plans to travel to Russia in September. He said he would attend an international summit in St. Petersburg, saying it was important for the U.S. to be represented at talks among global economic powers. But he did not say whether he planned to attend separate meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
The White House has said it was evaluating the "utility" of the Putin meetings.
Obama also criticized a new Russian law cracking down on gay rights activism, saying he has "no patience for countries that try to treat gays and lesbians and transgendered persons in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them."
Russia has said it will enforce the law when it hosts the 2014 Winter Olympics. Asked whether the law would impact the games, Obama said he believes Putin and Russia have "a big stake in making sure the Olympics work."
"I think they understand that for most of the countries that participate in the Olympics, we wouldn't tolerate gays and lesbians being treated differently," he said.
In a wide-ranging interview, to be broadcast Tuesday, Obama also lauded two of his former political rivals: former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Once bitter adversaries, Obama and McCain have deepened their ties in recent months. The Republican senator helped usher a White House-backed overhaul of U.S. immigration law through the Senate and most recently negotiated a plan to clear the way for votes on several stalled Obama nominees.
The president said that while he and McCain still have significant policy differences, the Republican senator is "a person of integrity." But Obama said jokingly that it's probably not good for McCain if the Democratic president compliments him on television.
Obama also discussed his recent lunch with Clinton, his rival in the 2008 Democratic primaries. Clinton, who left the State Department earlier this year, had a post-administration "glow," Obama said.
But he sidestepped questions about whether she was measuring the curtains in the White House for a possible 2016 presidential bid.
"Keep in mind," Obama said, "she's been there before."

There's a lot of hype surrounding big brand flagship smartphones but no so much about mid-range handsets. They may lack the specs but they do offer similar functionality at a more compelling price point.
A case in point is the Sony Xperia E1. It's able to do most of what its upmarket sibling, the Z1 can do, but given its spec and price, some concessions have been made.
This said, the E1's compromises are only likely to be an issue for power users. For normal use the E1 offers great performance and value for money.
It mightn't have the latest bells and whistles, but specs-wise it's still a solid offering. Although its 4" screen isn't a cinemascope palm-stretcher, it is vivid, bright and accurate.
Powered by a 1.2GHz dual core processor, there's ample power for most apps. It even has a feature that's often omitted on other devices - a MicroSD card slot. MicroSD cards are affordable, and an ideal way to store media collections on the move.
For music fans the E1 has another standout feature - a 100 decibel speaker. It's far louder than those on most other smartphones I've tested. It's also ideal for sharing music and annoying people on public transport.
Look and feel
The E1 is 12mm thick, which whilst not after dinner mint wafer-thin, isn't exactly brick-like either. Curved edges and a textured back also make for a comfy in-hand experience.
The fact that the E1 has a plastic body rather than one crafted out of exotic alloys helps. This not only means it feels good but is also light enough not to tear the lining out of pockets and purses.
The E1's back is also removable, but the small indentation to insert a fingernail to remove the back cover proved tricky to find. Once located the sim/microSD slot and battery were all within reach.
Given its very reasonable $199 sticker price, the E1's display was a pleasant surprise. It mightn't be as hi-resolution as the Z1's, but it did have the added advantage of being less power hungry.
This said, its resolution of 800 x 400 is perhaps the first hint that the E1 is a mid-range device. While fine for most smartphone tasks such as web browsing, texting and casual gaming, it isn't ideal for viewing HD movies.
The screen is also covered in a layer of plastic. Although it will protect from scratches, it isn't as tough as Gorilla Glass, but it is lighter.
The review unit comes with Android version 4.3, and the standard Google apps are all present. Sony have bundled a bunch of apps including their Walkman app, Music Unlimited, TrackID and several others.
The E1's interface is a high point. Like Sony's other Android handsets, Sony have avoided unnecessary cosmetic fluffery.
Unfortunately the E1 only has 4GB of memory baked in. Add the OS and apps into the equation and you're left with a mere 1.5-2GB of storage. Thank goodness for its MicroSD slot.
The E1 was not waning in the connectivity department. It was good to see that aside from WiFi, GP/Glonas, it also came with Bluetooth 4.0 which is more power efficient and used a lot of wearable gadgetry.
Audio is the headline feature of the E1. Its ultra-petite speaker can belt out 100 decibels. This makes the E1 ideal for sharing music with friends and annoying the bejesus out of everyone else. It also has the Sony Walkman app and several audio tweaks built in which made for pleasing headphone audio.
Another nifty feature was shake to shuffle which proved handy when walking, allowing me to focus on walking instead of fiddling with on-screen controls and walking into a bus or lamppost.
Testing the E1's speaker showed that the old maxim "size doesn't matter" was on the money. Considering its petite size, the E1's speaker was piercingly loud.
This said it mightn't shake plaster off of any ceilings given its lack of bass but you can hear it from the other end of the house. When cranked up, some clipping was noticeable. This isn't surprising given the tiny size of the driver used. Either way there's little chance of missing a text notification with the E1.
Another audio feature worth a mention is the dedicated Walkman button. With a short press it acts as a play/pause button. Holding it down fires up the Walkman app.
The rear 3 megapixel camera had no flash and at 3 megapixels it is weak - even in comparison with other mid-range devices. With 5 megapixel now the norm at the this end of the market, the inclusion of such a low spec is a disappointment.
The E1's camera did however do a surprisingly good job even in low-light conditions. Pixel noise was low and its focus was accurate.
The lack of a flash did however limit low-light testing. Under good lighting conditions auto scene recognition, manual mode and HDR modes performed well. Nicer still, the E1's volume control acts as zoom controls or a shutter button.
Battery-wise the E1 sports a removable smallish 1700mAh battery. Interestingly with typical use it lasted a day and a bit. The E1's promo blurb stated a talk time of just under 9 hours and a standby time of a whopping 498 hours. Given the deadlines involved in writing this review I didn't get a chance to test either.
A factor likely to figure in the E1's standby endurance is Sony's 'STAMINA' mode. This switches off all unwanted background tasks and mobile data when the screen is off which greatly extends the battery.
All told, the Xperia E1 isn't bad. Its lightweight form-factor makes it highly pocketable. Specs-wise, it looks pretty anaemic until its $199 price tag is factored into the mix. For anyone on a tight budget who spends time in earbuds, the E1's solid bang per buck value and Walkman capabilities should definitely appeal.

Jennifer Lopez, now commonly known as JLo, has become a pop-culture icon and a role model for Latin Americans. She is frequently identified with the "American Dream," having come from humble beginnings to rub shoulders with the rich and famous. Not only has JLo been successful on the big screen, she has also released a number of top-selling albums and created her own clothing line. She made history as the first female artists to have a number-one album and movie in the same week. Her all-encompassing ambition has been compared with that of Madonna's.
Critics and fans must agree, as JLo has been the recipient of many awards and nominations, including a Blockbuster Entertainment nomination (1997) for Anaconda and a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for Selena. She also won the VH1/Vogue Fashion Award for Most Fashionable Female Artist, received a Latin Grammy nomination and won the Billboard Latin Award for a duet she performed with Marc Anthony. Wait, there's more! JLo was named Female Entertainer of the Year by ALMA in 2000. 2002 was Jennifer's best year, as she won a World Music Award for World's Best-Selling Latin Female Artist, an MTV Video Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Video, a VH1/Vogue Fashion Award for Most Influential Artist and an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Female. In short: this girl can act, sing and dance. Now it's time to get to know her even better

... br> Ooti was not what I expected of it, the surroundings are gorgeous but the main town seemed sketchy and run down. Finding a nice meal proved difficult though on the last of 2 nights we managed to get an amazing curry and beer! Beer is getting a bit more difficult to find now, though if you want it enough you will always find it.
We met a lovely guy, 70 year old captn. Muaz who helped us and especially dad try ...
A day in Ooty
... going on a tour was we got to see Ooty town and surrounds. The town is built on a relatively small area of flat lad surrounded by steep hills which are covered now with houses. The flat land is used for horticultural production - we saw plenty of carrots, garlic/spring onions (I couldn't quite tell), and Brussel sprouts. The town has several Christian churches, including one right by Charring Cross. The surrounds are dotted with what were once very grand English-style ...

... of the ride, I knew I was in India when I saw a sign outlining the fact that by law, Elephants have right of way. Not having thought of it, I decided that if I came across an elephant, I would probably give it right of way sign or no sign. I headed back up the pass and spent an hour checking out Coonoir which turned out to be crowded and dirty before heading home for an early night before moving on to Kochi, my next destination.
... wrong direction! Feet sore, but imagining our Kate Moss figures the following day, he dropped us at the gates. Botanical Gardens? What Botanical Gardens? The only flowers in bloom were the agapanthus and one hydrangea! Apparently this is not high season - no ****!!!We had two further missions in Ooty. a) to equip ourselves with warm clothing, and b) to buy wine for our BYO Christmas lunch... Our first thoughts ...

I can't remember if the Groundhog saw his shadow or not this year, but I'm pretty sure the weather is starting to turn toward warmer climes, so why not turn our weekly Battle of the Boobtastic into a challenge of topless hot beach girls, pitting their funbags against one another 'neath the surfside sun.
This week's battle features dueling sextastic brunettes, Poppy Rivers, super underrated hottie, versus veteran Page 3 starlet, Amii Grove. Two girls with exponentially glorious chest puppies, but, in this battle of the boobtastic Thunderdome, only one can go home a winner. So, we ask once more, whose ta-ta's reign supreme?

History preservation group seeks to reinstate Tennessee historical markers
Sons of the American Revolution sign on for special project
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - It's a busy sign of the times, zipping by state historical markers without even noticing them.
One local chapter of a history preservation group called Sons of the American Revolution noticed some of these markers were missing. "In several cases, they've come down because of construction on the highways," said chapter president John Wakefield. "A few have come out because they were damaged, and they got sent off to a warehouse in Johnson City."
So the S.A.R. group signed on for a special reinstatement project. "We are working with the state historic commission and the local department of transportation which has these markers," Wakefield said. "We are seeking to get a bunch of these reinstated in their proper place."
They got one marker posted back in its proper place along highway 126 near Kingsport. "Eaton's Fort, which was a garrison for horses during one of the first battles with the Indians who had sided with the British in the Revolutionary War," said chapter member Larry Ball.
They're also working on getting the Powder Branch marker re-signed at the corner of Milligan Highway and Powder Branch Road. "That's where Mary Patton made the gunpowder that was used for the overmountain men in the battle of King's Mountain," chapter member Bob Wetzel said.
The way they see it, this S.A.R. group is not just putting the signs back in their rightful place -- they're taking it as a sign that they're putting history back in its rightful place. "Well, this is our life isn't it?" Wetzel said.
"There's one great saying that says history isn't dead," Wakefield said. "It is not even past, it's present."

Weekend Bookworm: The Healer
22 March 2013 , 9:50 AM by Rob Minshull
The Healer by Antti Tuomainen
The city is flooded and subject to constant heavy rain. Abandoned vehicles are burning in the streets and refugees are pouring in from even worse-affected areas of the country.
This is not a novel about Queensland. The Healer is from one of Finland's leading suspense writers and it is set in Helsinki in the not-too-distant future. The world is ravaged by climate change, wars and disease rage across the globe, and whole populations are on the move.
In Finland, people are fleeing to the far north where conditions are still tolerable and gated communities offer some semblance of sanctuary. In Helsinki, squatters have taken over most of the derelict buildings, society has all but ceased to exist, and responsibility for law and order is shifting away from the dwindling police force and into the hands of the sinister, new private security firms.
Tapani Lehtinen is a struggling poet and - despite or because of this fact - is among the few people still capable of living in the city. But when his journalist wife, Johanna, goes missing, the collapsing environment is much more than an added obstacle to overcome.
Climate catastrophe means the police are losing officers faster than the time it takes to report a crime: evidence is rarely processed, if it all; technology is unreliable or nonexistent; and people are afraid or suspicious. With all these barriers to an official investigation into the disappearance of his wife, Tapani decides to conduct his own search.
He quickly discovers that Johanna has been researching a story about an environmentalist serial killer known as "The Healer". But Tapani also uncovers a disturbing link to his wife's own secret past in the radical fringes of eco politics.
Will Tapani find his wife, what is her link to a murdering extremist, or will the impending apocalypse defeat them all? The Healer is a fascinating story: part crime thriller, part sci-fi fantasy, at the heart of the novel is the age-old quandary about how to keep going when everything else is collapsing, how to maintain a sense of morality when no-one else seems to care.
With people like Lassi, Ahti and Tapani and with places called Punavuori, Kulosaari and Arabianranta - and written in what is often referred to as 'minimal language' - The Healer is so engrossing that the alien names and places of the Finns and their country soon become as integral and as fascinating as the tale itself.

Its dark - it's an indisputable fact as we look around us. It's the absence of light as we watch the day trickle away and leave us. As we all know the sun rises in the east and goes down in the west. To be accurate the sun doesn't really go anywhere it pretty much stays where it is relative to the earth. But the earth rotates from west to east so the sun appears first in the east and last in the west.... OK too much information but you get my meaning.But that is not the only reference in…Continue

Hi and welcome to the best place in the world for authors to learn about technology.
This is also a place to meet authors who can come into your classroom, your library, your bookclub, in person or via technology.
Using technology such as Skype, teleseminars, chat or webinars to bring authors into libraries, schools, and book clubs, even if thousands of miles away, opens the world up in amazing ways.
For a child in a classroom, a simple Skype session with an author, whether he or she be an astronaut, a fiction writer, a scientist, a poet or a mystery writer, can inspire them to develop interests, hobbies, even possible careers they may never have felt were within their reach. As authors visit libraries virtually, they can bring information and discussions to people of all ages and stages of life. Little ones can sit in awe as an author reads her picture book aloud, while seniors can listen to an expert author on the details of preparing for retirement.
Skype sessions with Book Club members make knowing the author of the book you just read, first hand, an amazing reality. This type of technology can and will bring authors and their audiences closer and closer. This cutting edge technology is the future and it is now. And it is far simpler to accomplish than you might believe, taking just minutes to set up.
We invite you to join us.
