Two people escaped without serious injury after their car was left hanging off a motorway with a drop of more than 30ft to a road below.
Firefighters were called to the M6 near Haydock, Merseyside, just after 8.30am on Sunday. The watch manager Chris Parrington said: "When we arrived the back of the car was overhanging part of the East Lancashire Road, but the car was relatively stable and pretty level. We had to use winches and cables to secure the vehicle before the two occupants could be helped out."
Hydraulic cutters and a saw were used to remove the door of the car to free the driver. Parrington said: "Both occupants of the car walked out assisted by firefighters and members of the North West Ambulance Service's hazard area response team. They were extremely lucky with a drop of more than 30ft to the carriageway below."
The two were taken to hospital for checks. One had suffered a leg injury; the other was uninjured. The Highways Agency said two lanes of the southbound carriageway of the motorway remained closed after the accident, causing long delays.

American Dispatch: Humor in the High Court
By FOX News Radio's Jared Halpern, who was inside the United States Supreme Court for all three days of oral arguments on the healthcare law.
Who knew the Supreme Court had a sense of humor?
Sure, six hours of oral arguments, including 90 minutes focused on the Tax Anti-Injunction Act is hardly a night at the Laugh Factory. But, there's also more to the highest court in the land than black robes and legalese.
Take Justice Antonin Scalia, for instance. His reputation is one of an unapologetic constitutional originalist and an abrasive questioner. But, get him to talk about the Tenth Amendment and Medicaid requirements and he's sure to get everyone sitting in the court room to let out a much needed chuckle (and, in the case of some, a full-hearted belly laugh).
LISTEN to the humorous exchange between justices:
Audio clip:
"You can't refuse your money or your life," Scalia explained during an exchange about federal Medicaid requirements. "But your life or your wife's? I could refuse that one."
The quick-witted Justice Sonia Sotomayor said what many of us in the courtroom were suddenly thinking.
"He's not going home tonight," she said.
Chief Justice John Roberts adding, "Let's leave the wives out of this."
Finally, in a dry wit leaving many to wonder if he was in on the joke all along, Scalia restored levity, explaining, "I'm talking about my life. Take mine, y'know."
The three days of arguments about the future of the Affordable Care Act, considered among the most important cases to reach the Supreme Court in decades, was filled with similar humorous (and unexpected) exchanges.
Take for instance Monday's discussion on the rarely cited Tax Anti-Injunction Act of 1867. The entire argument rests on whether or not the requirement to purchase health insurance and the fine tied with non-compliance amounted to a tax.
That fine is assessed like a tax and collected like a tax. But, both the Obama Administration and the 26 states challenging the Affordable Care Act prefer that the mandate not be treated like a tax and thus barred from legal challenge until at least 2014.
The problem: Even Solicitor General Donald Verrilli was somewhat tongue-tied explaining the subtleties, freely switching back and forth between the words "penalty" and "tax".
That is, until, Justice Stephen Breyer interrupted.
"You keep saying tax," he said. Spectators bellowed, fully aware the word tax was the very word Verilli (and the 26 Attorneys General) were hoping to avoid.
"Tax penalty," Verrilli finally settled on.
Here's the point. A select nine people, appointed by Presidents and confirmed by the Senate, ultimately have final say on a 2,700 page law that serves as a lightning rod in the political sphere.
I bet that responsibility is easier to handle with a few laughs.

Yesterday an Italian court overturned an appeal and reinstated the original guilty verdict for Amanda Knox, the now 26-year-old American convicted of a 2007 murder.
The court sentenced Knox, who was released and allowed to return to the United States in 2011, to 28 years and 6 months in prison for the brutal slaying of Meredith Kercher, Knox's roommate while the two studied abroad in Italy.
This morning, Knox went on Good Morning America to give a teary-eyed reaction to the verdict. Although extradition is possible, but very unlikely, Knox still tells the people at GMA that "I will never going willingly back … I'm going to fight this until the very end."

My life has changed completely since I invested my resources into integrative medicine. I am grateful to Allah (swt), Who has blessed me with knowledge resources and made me discover a holistic health practitioner in Pakistan, Dr. Shagufta Feroz. Her book 'Living as Nature Intended' is a panacea for those in search of optimal physical and psychological health. Unfortunately, the significance of nature is often not deeply absorbed by us.
Thinking about the magnificence in Allah's (swt) creation, I asked my friends through Facebook and text messages what popped up into their mind when they hear the word 'nature'.
Majority responses were beauty, peace, greenery, purity, and signs of Allah (swt). My cell phone was being updated with responses while I was being assailed by doubt, embarrassment and awe. We all have an association with nature but we neglect the most supreme form of Allah's Qudrat in front of us, with us, inside us! You and I are Allah's (swt) masterpiece! Ashraf Al-Makhlooqat. Nothing is more awe-inspiring than human beings. If we ponder over the human body, the human brain or human behaviour, we will be startled at how our Creator is Al-Musawwir the Fashioner, the Bestower of Forms, the Shaper. Allah says: "Verily, We created man of the best stature (mould)." (At-Tin 95:4)
Some of the precautionary changes that I took when I woke up from this sound sleep were to transform and check the sources of my food, cosmetics and clothing.
Imam Ghazali, while counselling the believers, states that a human being's share in the name Al-Musawwir lies in understanding his existence, and the intricacy of his soul, body and mind. Furthermore, he advises to learn from whole details commencing from body membranes, types of organs and the wisdom and skill in their creation. The turn of studying soul, intellect and abilities comes much after understanding the minute details of body.
If we neglect our bodies, can we attain what we call serenity? If we don't understand or appreciate ourselves can we comprehend the beauty in nature otherwise? Timothy Leary says: "One cannot understand the rhythms and meanings of outer world until one has mastered the dialects of the body."
To value nature in the real sense of the word along with the creations of Allah, we need to probe into self-knowledge. We're composed of an amazing network of systems: nervous, muscular, skeletal, reproductive, and digestive and so on. The elements of nature we are associated with like fire, clay, water and air have been created for our quality survival. The immune system is a blessing in disguise, Alhumdullilah. Our body's healing properties are much stronger than any drug treatment or antibiotics and we need to nurture with pure, simple Sunnah foods.
How did I change? Five years back, like every average youth in Pakistan influenced by westernization, I had deep-rooted complexes. I found it hard to look at myself in the mirror, being bulky and tall and 'fitting' into the society's acceptance limits. I found beauty around me but not inside me, until I realized I am Allah's masterpiece. I have been created by Al-Wadud, The Loving-Kind. It is hard to alter eating habits or resort back to Allah's super-foods; it is hard to understand the natural circadian rhythms of the human body but I have found all the changes completely worth the investment. The need of the hour is that to become sound and healthy, we need to take our mind off obesity stories and health dilemmas inside our brain and focus on Al-Khaliq's creatures; to begin with, I've chosen the masterpiece! What about you?
My mother went through the conventional process of treatment chemotherapy and radiation, but it was the binding link with Allah through the Quran and intake of healing foods that she was blessed with recovery.
Over and above, in combating sickness, we can suppress symptoms by neglecting health in the first part of life and then restoring it in old age with a substantial monetary investment or as the Sunnah medicine suggests, we can address the root cause. We need to know what it means to be a healthy Muslim. Islam puts utmost importance on healing physical and spiritual diseases; a Muslim practitioner should know the uniqueness of the immunity of the patient and highlight the far-reaching effects of positive emotions (Islamic Guideline on Medicine by Yusuf Al-Hajj Ahmad).
Allah says in the Holy Quran: "We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Qur'an) is the truth." (Fussilat 41:53)
So what are your plans about being a healthy and a productive Muslim? To get closer to Al-Bari, The Producer, we need to understand our systems, our soul and our mind.
Another life-enriching trial in my life was my mother's chronic cancer. Narrated by Jabir (rta) the Messenger of Allah (sa) said:
"For every disease there is a remedy, so if you find the right remedy for the disease, you will be healed by the leave of Allah." (Muslim)
My mother went through the conventional process of treatment chemotherapy and radiation, but it was the binding link with Allah through the Quran and intake of healing foods that she was blessed with recovery. I've seen the magnanimity of neglecting health and well being through her. We should not be victimized by the modern concept 'nature deficit disorder' such as psychological, physical and cognitive costs of alienating from nature.
Eliminate worry from your life as it can weaken your faith.
Imam Ibn al Qayyim Al-Jauziyah prescribes health over sickness, youth over old age. Leaf through his book 'Healing with the Medicine of Prophet (saw)' and enlighten your health instincts. In the tough journey in this world, health, time management, patience and gratitude are the tools to march forward. Understanding body and evaluating the Nafs or psyche is mandatory to become the beloved of Allah Almighty. The paradigm in front of us lies in the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (sa). Allah says:
"Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much." (Al-Ahzab 33:21)
Let us resolve and respect the laws of nature and try to implement them. Some of the precautionary changes that I took when I woke up from this sound sleep were to transform and check the sources of my food, cosmetics and clothing. I am still discovering farms in my city and organic food sources. Many people in our honourable Ummah love home gardening. Allah's creation can do wonders if blessed by Him!
We tend to go all green to preserve natural environment, but we forget to preserve ourselves. Let's please Allah (swt). Stay holistically healthy and protect your family members from consuming processed, convenience foods. Another step you have to inculcate is being patient in adapting and promoting healthy behaviour. Try to inculcate the attitude of gratitude each time Allah (swt) gratifies your thirst and hunger. Praise Allah (swt), the Most Deserving of praise, when you like the colour, the taste or the aroma of any food. Cherish the times when you are healthy and equally thank for the times when Allah (swt) puts you into sickness for a while.
Lastly, eliminate worry from your life as it can weaken your faith. The following Hadeeth is the most soothing of all,
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (rta), Allah's Apostle said: "If Allah wants to do good to somebody, He afflicts him with trials." (Bukhari)

Ten years ago my son and I fell in love with a dog at a "Pet Adoption Event" in our grocery store parking lot. He was five at the time, and we went to the store for a couple of groceries, and came home with a dog.
To help pet owners remember the importance of keeping microchip information updated, the American Animal Hospital Association and American Veterinary Medical Association designated August 15 as Check the Chip Day.
While the damage from Isaac has not approached that of Hurricane Katrina, for the families and their pets who have been displaced from their homes, the effect on them is just as monumental.
Many communities are proposing making microchipping all dogs mandatory. Besides finding your dog, there are two good reasons to make microchips mandatory.

Woolbeding Common - Titty Hill - Pound Common - Woolbeding CommonA circular walk starting from the National Trust car park at Older Hill. The route is full of variety, taking you through some beautiful woods and heathland. It's quite hilly but the hills are fairly gentle, with some magnificent views. You are treated to a superb view shortly after leaving the car park before plunging down Older Hill into woodland. Field-paths then lead you to the gentle climb up Titty Hill. We met an old lady when we were walking in this area about twenty years ago. She had been born and brought up around here and laughed as she told us of the 'new folks' who had moved into the area and had removed what they considered to be the embarrassing road signs to Titty Hill! Tracks and field-paths with gorgeous views to the South Downs take you to the sandy heathland of Pound Common and Woolbeeding Common.This entire walk is off-road apart from a few metres along quiet lanes. There are just a couple of stiles to cross and my dog managed them easily. Some of the bridleways in the wooded areas can get very muddy during the winter, so waterproof footwear is essential.
England - South England - West Sussex - South Downs
Are you sure you wish to delete this comment?
Walked this route 22/03/15. great directions. Great views. Seat is well and truly rotted now. Some quite steep inclines but manageable. Could get difficult if walking after some wet weather. Would do it again late summer.
Our thanks to Sylvia Saunders for her updates for this walk. September 2012. Adrian (Admin)
We were really impressed with the directions on this walk until disappointment set in at WM12/13 when the seat we'd been looking forward to having our picnic lunch upon had virtually rotted away. We carried a bit further on and had lunch in a field with views of the Downs. Then at WM 16 we couldn't see the finger posts mentioned and only really got back to the car using the compass facility on an iPhone.
Also, following the wettest summer on record, even in August many of the footpaths in woodland were very wet.

Herbal Medicine Schools Offer a Rewarding Health Care AlternativeHerbal medicine is one of the oldest health care systems known to humankind, with a strong presence in modern society. In fact, since herb plants continue to produce and comprise a myriad of chemical substances, it is estimated that 25 percent of prescription drugs in the U.S. contain at least one active plant material ingredient.
It's no surprise, then, that herbal medicine schools are increasing in number in response to the demand for alternative and natural medicine training. Students as well as practicing health professionals seeking a rewarding health care alternative find that a comprehensive education from herbal medicine schools lends itself to personal and professional growth.
Before you can study at herbal medicine schools, however, you'll need to do your homework. Herbal medicine schools vary in course length, tuition costs, and curriculum, so you'll need to carefully review course outlines, prerequisites, and available financial aid options before committing to a program. Typical prerequisites include a solid education foundation in physiology and anatomy, which will help you understand the philosophy and theories behind herbal medicine therapies.
Once you're enrolled in herbal medicine schools, you'll learn the essentials of herbalism and botanical medicine, and you'll receive instruction in the ways herbal medicine is facilitated for spices, therapy, and medicinal purposes. You'll learn from which plants herbs are derived, and how to use those herbs for medicinal purposes, nutritional additives, and aromatherapy.
Some herbal medicine schools focus primarily on traditional Chinese medicine, but others offer studies in ayurvedic medicine, botany, botanical terminology, cell chemistry, herbal pharmacy, medicinal plant compounds, Native American plant medicine, and phytochemistry.
After you've completed coursework at herbal medicine schools, you may choose to earn an herbal medicine certification. Many certified herbal medicine therapists work as ayurvedic practitioners, homeopathic practitioners, natural health practitioners, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, or other holistic health practitioners. With more advanced herbal medicine training, you may also be qualified to help develop plant medicines for pharmaceutical researchers.

Taiwan Semi: Increased Risk of Losses to Samsung, Says BlueFin
Analysts Paul Peterson and Steve Mullane at boutique research house BlueFin Research Partners today follow up on a note from back on April 21st saying that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), the largest contract chip maker, may be about to lose business to Samsung Electronics (005930KS).
The authors write that their "checks" indicate preparations for a much higher volume of chips using 20-nanometer transistor dimensions, possibly for both Qualcomm (QCOM) and Apple (AAPL), a direct threat to Taiwan Semi's role in making chips for the two companies:
In our April 28th AAPL Update, we noted that 20nm production levels at Samsung Austin were in the 3000-4000 wpm range. These volumes were sufficient to debug/improve their yields as they vied for second source position for the AAPL designs. But our latest checks indicate a surprising twist to the 20nm development story. We are getting indications that Samsung Austin is planning to ramp their 20nm technology designs to 12,000 wpm by July, but the upside is for QCOM, not AAPL. It is our understanding that QCOM is not happy with the 20nm development/yield progress at TSM and thus have been qualifying their latest technology node designs at Samsung. Obviously, the potential loss of business from AAPL and QCOM would be bad news for TSM after recently losing the AMD (AMD) GPU business. And while 20nm demand will continue to be strong for TSM, we expect Samsung to be a viable threat to TSM for the advanced process nodes going forward.
The authors don't describe the nature of the checks they are referencing in their report.
Taiwan Semi shares today fell 18 cents, or 0.9%, to close at $20.51.

- Celeron
- Supported only by CPU with integrated graphic
Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
Potentially a great basic motherboard 11/09/2013
This review is from: ECS NM70-I2 (V1.0) Intel Celeron 1037U 1.80GHz Intel NM70 Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo
Much improved CPU performance coming from Sandy Bridge Celeron 847 (1.1ghz) or even an 887 (1.5ghz)
Low power draw, about 15W at idle, up to 38W while running the windows experience index.
Unusually, much higher graphics performance than I expected coming from Sandy Bridge ULV celerons (could be the graphics drivers)
Very snappy performance in windows 7 with an SSD
None of the other reviews mentioned problems with cooling, so I assume the unit that I received appears to be defective. and will treat for the purposes of this review as if the problem was fixed
There is a serious problem with the heat sink that ships with this motherboard. The rubber spacers around the mounting points and the hard, rubbery thermal interface material itself prevents it from properly mounting on the CPU. When I first turned it on, the CPU was hitting temps of up to 105C causing throttling and unusual OS and graphical glitches.
Luckily I happened to have an Ixtrema Silenx northbridge cooler on hand left over from a previous project. That and a dab of generic thermal paste brought my temps down to a more reasonable 40C at idle (59C at load). If this is a manufacturer error, I hope they get this fixed pronto as the motherboard as it ships is totally unacceptable. If you order this motherboard, get the northbridge cooler as well, just in case.

Aside from the the problem with the heat sink mounting, this motherboard would make an excellent basic use computer or htpc. If you want to build a NAS server or a basic 2-port pfsense firewall box, there are better choices out there.
Performance with an SSD is good enough to run my high bit rate 1080p videos even on VLC with less than 1% dropped frames. They run flawlessly on Media Player Classic. Running recent 3D accelerated games however is not recommended. The integrated GPU just doesn't have enough oomph. Some older games may run acceptably at the lowest setting.
How could this product be improved? If ECS had used the HM70 chipset, it would have natively brought USB 3.0 and a full 16 PCIE lanes rather than just the 8 from the NM70. Not a big issue if you want to install a discrete graphics card, but could be an issue with some of the more bandwidth sensitive PCIE 1x to 4x cards such as RAID or multiport network cards.
Overall, a very good deal for the money, assuming you don

Tequila Grilled Shrimp and Mango Skewers
- 36 jumbo shrimp
- 2 ripe mangoes, each sliced into 12 pieces
- 1/2 of a jalapeño, minced
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- oil for grilling
The tropical flavors of mango and ginger paired with the Latin heat of jalapenos and tequila turn shrimp into a sweet and glossy appetizer or main dish.
Why Try? A beautiful addition to any party menu, this lively and easy recipe will soon be your favorite way to grill shrimp.
Foodie Byte: You will need 12 metal or wooden skewers for this recipe. If you use wooden ones, don't forget to first soak them in water for at least an hour before grilling so they don't burn.
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- To make the glaze, combine minced jalapeño, tequila, lime juice, brown sugar, and ginger in a small saucepan. Set over heat and cook until boiling and slightly thickened.
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Pour mixture into glaze while stirring. Bring back up to a boil and take off heat. Divide into two bowls then set aside.
- On each skewer, put three shrimp and two mango slices, alternating.
- Brush hot grill with oil so prevent shrimp from sticking.
- Season shrimp and mango with salt and brush with glaze. Grill on both sides until shrimp are pink and fully cooked. Brush again with remaining glaze and serve.

Late night trading venues such as nightclubs, pubs and bars across the state that would normally trade between 3am and midday are required to cease the supply of alcohol at 3am on ANZAC Day.
ANZAC Day is a time of respectful commemoration for all Australians. To protect the solemn observance of this day, trading hours for licensed venues are restricted on the morning of ANZAC Day.
This restriction achieves a balance between the commercial interests of the industry and community expectations.
Applications for temporary limited licences and major event licences for ANZAC Day will still be considered. The Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation must be satisfied that the supply of alcohol is in connection with commemorative activities and will be consistent with the solemn observance of the day. Visit the Temporary licence page for details on how to apply for these licence categories.
RSL clubs and sub-branches may apply for temporary limited licences to supply alcohol before midday. The supply of alcohol is in connection with commemorative activities and will be consistent with the solemn observance of the day.
Note: Late night venues should check their trading hours for the day before ANZAC Day to ensure they are authorised to trade. For example, should ANZAC Day fall on a Sunday, a licence that shows Saturday trading until 5am the following day is not authorised to trade past 3am.
There are two and a half restricted trading days each year:
All liquor licensees should check the conditions on their licence to determine whether these days affect their trading hours.

Replacement windows - flashing question
Okay, so I'm having some very large windows (103"x60") replaced. The windows are currently vinyl and I have vinyl siding with j-channel butting up to the current windows. For replacement, all of the wood trim inside the house around the vinyl window was removed. Upon replacement, my contractor simply cutout the old window and installed a new window in the rough opening. On the original window, there was never any flashing present, no flex wrap around the rough opening, the original nail fin was not even taped, but I never had water problems, just horrible windows. The new windows that he installed do not have a nailing fin, instead the window has an accessory grove that he snapped a cover into that extends outward and covers the existing J-channel. He used silicone to adhere the j-channel to this new cover. He also caulked the window to the j-channel in hope that it will keep water out. Needless to say I'm a bit concerned that I will have a water problem and want to stop him before he does more windows. Are my concerns warranted?
Also, on two windows he measured the old window incorrectly and as a result the new windows are about 3/4" too tall. They fit in the opening but are very tight top and bottom in the opening, no way to even insulate, perhaps caulk but that's it. Do I need to fear expansion come summer and troubles with the windows?

The Portland/New Zealand band's second album is equal parts occasionally remarkable and frustrating, split between incredible pop songs and turgid guitar noodling with very little middle ground.
Let's start with the good stuff, since that's what II does. Within the first four songs, Nielson reiterates what helped Unknown Mortal Orchestra transcend simple time-stamped pastiche: his handsomely scuffed vocals and inventive melodies, and a rhythmic vocabulary that draws equally and naturally from psych rock, hard funk, and soul. It's the work of an assured craftsman with a preferred set of sonic parameters, and shows off the band's development in a lucid, loose fashion. UMO's lo-fi sizzle and compression gave it the feel of an artifact, a lost treasure transmitted through decades of overdubbed tapes. II isn't a big budget affair, and Nielson still handles everything except the drums. The result is a surprisingly minor but welcome upgrade in fidelity that makes II sound more lived-in than pre-damaged, like a worn pair of jeans or an unmade bed.
Such forlorn images are hardly coincidental considering the despondent lyrical bent early on in the record. "From the Sun" and "Swim and Sleep (Like A Shark)" are compositionally challenging and rewarding, like they're trying to see just how many notes and chord changes can fit into a verse and still stick in your head. But they're given to the startling thoughts of a mind that's ditched the Deadhead vibes of his debut in favor of exploring all the colors of the feel bad rainbow: "Isolation can put a gun in your hand," Nielson sings on the former, and the latter's chorus serves a suicide metaphor that takes as many odd turns as its backing melody. Even the soulful simmer of "So Good at Being in Trouble" doesn't come off as bravado-- not when the attendant lyric is "so bad at being in love."
It's an impressive start that heralds a curious bit of sequencing; starting with "The Opposite of Afternoon", II places its three longest tracks consecutively in the middle, resulting in nearly 18 minutes that put the focus squarely on Nielson's guitar playing. His skills aren't necessarily self-evident since there's little in the way of pyrotechnics; they're the kind that are more impressive when you can see his hands move and witness how he fits interesting chord inversions, walking riffs, and quick vamps into a pop structure. Without the visual element, there's little to latch onto, and while the nifty riffs of "...Opposite" are attention-grabbing, they constitute the last hook we hear for some time. "No Need for a Leader" goes for a brisk, head-down six-minute jog, which at least is preparation for "Monki", whose seven minutes pass with hardly a memorable moment. You could take the droning instrumental of the subsequent "Dawn" as an audio metaphor; the momentum of II has pretty much flatlined by that point.
It's a tough patch to endure, taking up nearly half of the record, and yet by the end it feels like the right call. II starts and finishes on strong notes, making it easy to revisit, and leaving the midsection as an isolated affair that might grow on you. If "Monki" and "No Need for a Leader" were distributed more evenly, II might come off more scattershot than it really is. In a way, the sequencing speaks to the curmudgeonly streak Nielson has shown, and aligns with the record's themes of exhaustion and depression by channeling massive amounts of energy into relatively short bursts while being subjected to long expanses of aimlessness. Perhaps Nielson's own ambitions don't align with external expectations of how to follow a promising, lo-fi debut. When II is truly on, it's proof that great albums aren't the sole measure of a great band, a subtle advance that puts Unknown Mortal Orchestra right back where they started: something of a mystery, but one that will certainly be interesting going forward.

Hello, when playing this game I have had a few wonders about a few of the fables.

Well here we are again at and International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) conference. This time it is in Paris, France and much closer to our home than Washington DC. Firstly, the weather, pretty much like London – dull, cloudy, wet and not that warm. At least we won't feel that we are missing out on nice weather and sight-seeing while holed up in the conference hotel!
The hotel is the Marriot Rive Gauche and is not too bad. We arrived yesterday – Thursday and will be here until next Thursday. The view from our hotel is towards the north and we can just about see Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur Cathedral in the murky distance. The conference starts in earnest on Sunday but I have an IAJGS Board meeting to attend on Saturday morning – Bastille Day. Already though the networking and genealogy talking has begun. We have started to meet up with delegates we know through day-to-day contact and also with others we met at other conferences. Once you get to go to one or two of these conferences you tend to get to know a lot of people. Last night we went out to eat with Philip, JGSGB's Treasurer and with Jeanette's "DNA Cousin" Doris and her husband Dick. This may have been the last meal outside the hotel before we return to London, though there are a few local restaurants we might get out to – depending on the weather and how busy we get.

So who did you see?
I saw Lindemann, Tugba (or someone that looked a lot like her and the camera stayed with her a while), Sasha Zaretsky (flag bearer for Greece), Stephane Lambiel (flag bearer for Switzerland), from team USA I only saw Frank Carroll and then call me crazy but I swear I saw Mishin, he was holding a camera and taping everything.
And then well in the big screen, when they were showing all the sports I saw Shizuka, Sasha, Plushenko and Lambiel.

Is there a rule that I can make to block requests to a single ip? As in I
have a computer on the LAN and I don't want any other computers within the
LAN to see it. I would rather not deal with installing firewall software on

With all this hot weather my 2003 E46 is suffering from the usual GM5 fault, the central locking will lock but wont open the car.
Does anyone know of anywhere who repairs the GM5 Module in the UK, preferably in the North West?
Also the doors will not unlock from inside the vehicle, have I double locked it somehow and can I remedy this so I can
at least let people into the car manually?
Thanks in advance [/U]

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
According to the AP, it looks like President Bush will go after health care in his State of the Union address to Congress on January 1st, and propose to expand "health savings accounts." A few months ago, Jonathan Cohn wrote a long article on the problems with HSA's in the New Republic, which is very much worth reading.
The basic problem here is pretty clear: Any health care plan with a high deductible that allows a person to save $2,000 a year, tax-free, in a bank account to pay for out-of-pocket costs is going to attract a lot of very healthy people (who can save the money) and very few less-healthy people. But if all the extremely healthy people start fleeing from traditional insurance en masse, that means premiums will shoot up for everyone else. (South Africa tried to experiment with HSAs and ended up with a lot of similar problems.)
Basically, HSAs are a "clever" idea in theory, and no doubt a lot of economists are enamored of some of their featureslike the fact that they promote "cost saving" by deterring patients from going to the doctor "too often"but it's not even close to a serious attempt to fix the United States' dysfunctional health care system.

I've talked before about how it's usually warm in Minnesota when it's cold in Alaska and visa versa.
John Wagner/News-Miner Vehicles are seen draped in blankets in the parking lot of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's offices on Monday afternoon, Nov. 21, 2011.
John Wagner/News-Miner Frost clings to the face of University of Alaska Fairbanks culinary arts student Cory Hobbs during his daily two-mile walking commute from home to campus on Monday afternoon, Nov. 21, 2011
The spacing of so called atmospheric "long waves" just so happens to work out that way. When there's a cold trof of upper level low pressure over Alaska, there usually a milder ridge over the central USA.
So it comes as no surprise that with record cold in the interior of Alaska this week, we're set for a mild (and near record warm) Thanksgiving Day in Minnesota.
More details on Alaska's cold wave from Capital Weather Gang.
"A frigid Arctic air mass, unusual even by Alaska standards, is dropping the mercury in the state's interior to unheard of levels in mid-November. Stunningly low temperatures in the -35 to -50 range have gripped the region since Tuesday. These temperatures are some 25 to 40 degrees colder than average.
This morning, Fairbanks airport dropped to 40 below zero, breaking the old record of 39 below. That's after setting a record low of 35 below Tuesday morning, breaking the old record of 33 below from 1956. Wednesday's low of -39 just missed 1969's record of -41.
Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks dropped to an incredible 42 below Wednesday morning, shattering the old record of 37 below set in 1956. This morning, it dropped to 42 below again, setting another new record low. The average low is -7.
A difficult to imagine -49 degree reading was measured unofficially at UAF Smith Lake Wednesday, and, according to the National Weather Service (NWS), infrared satellite imagery sensed 50 below readings in the coldest valley locations.
As cold as low temperatures have been, high temperatures haven't been much warmer. Fairbanks only gets about six hours of daylight this time of year, limiting the opportunity for the sun to moderate temperatures in the aptly named "Land of the Midnight Sun". Yesterday's high at the airport was just -28 compared to an average high of 10.
Little relief is in sight. Highs are forecast to range from -10 to -20 for the next week, with overnight lows of -25 to -40. The NWS office in Fairbanks warned:
By the way, did you know it's warmer on average in Anchorage in winter than in Minnesota? That's because Anchorage has a climate modified by the Pacific Ocean.

Apple to require iOS apps and updates to use iOS 8 SDK and include 64-bit support from February 2015
Apple has today notified developers about some upcoming rules regarding App Store submission, via its developer news portal. From 1st February 2015, newly-submitted apps and updates must be built against Apple's iOS 8 SDK. This is not particularly surprising: Apple required similar adoption of the iOS 7 SDK last year.
In addition however, Apple will also require that all apps and updates include 64-bit support from that date too. Currently, developers can choose whether to submit only 32-bit apps or universal binaries. This will no longer be an option from February. Moving all apps to 64-bit will bring big performance and memory gains for newer devices (which include A7 or A8 SoC's) as running the 32-bit apps necessitates loading a lot of additional resources into system memory.

Robert Reich: Gingrich has tried to defend himself by saying Freddy paid him as a "historian," but anyone with half a brain knows Freddy wasn't interested in history.
Economic Issues, Not Faith or Religion, Drive Latino Votes
Pilar Marrero: Moral issues rank very low in Latino Voter's minds when making a voting decision while issues like the economy, jobs, taxes and minimum wage are far more important, a new poll released today shows. That finding totally contradicts the famous Ronald Reagan belief, said in the eighties, that "Hispanics are Republicans. They just don't know it yet."
Faith Pimps, Secular Conspiracies
Sikivu Hutchinson: This political season militant GOP appeals to white Christian evangelicals have veered into neo-Cold War hysteria.
Pennsylvania: The Kidneystone State
John Peeler: Joining the conservative chorus against Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the federally sponsored mortgage giants, Gingrich has had trouble explaining his receipt of $1.8 million over several years as a consultant to Freddie Mac.
Sarah Palin on Herman Cain: "Boys Will Be Boys"
Julie Driscoll: Call me crazy, but shouldn't the "morality and values" party believe that cheating and lying and deceit and trashing of marital vows and violations of who knows how many biblical rules and regs shouldn't be reduced to Sarah Palin's "boys will be boys?"
'Tis the Season for GOP Exit Strategies
Michael Sigman: Congressman Ron Paul will pull out of politics entirely. Since his son Rand is also a member of Congress, Ron will become the first politician ever to leave public life so he can spend less time with his family.
Conservatism's Growing Affection for Ignorance
Charles Hayes: If we elect a Republican as president in 2012, we deserve the calamity that will follow. After all, "stupid is as stupid does."
"Occupy" Occupies California's Democratic Party
Dick Price: If a meeting this past weekend between representatives from a half dozen Occupy encampments in California and perhaps 200 members of the California Progressive Caucus is any guide, the Occupy Movement has already tapped into older generations of progressive activists who are eager to support, leverage, and amplify the Occupyers' ground-breaking work.
The 'New Nixon'
Berry Craig: Will religious rightists forgive Gingrich for his serial adultery? He is on his third marriage. Gingrich cheated on wives one and two and ditched them for his paramours.
From Teachers to Truck Drivers, We're All the Working Class
Berry Craig: Historically, labor-haters like Gingrich have tried to divide workers by skill, race, gender, religion, ethnicity and nationality. Today, the wedge issues include abortion, school prayer, guns and gay marriage.
What Michele Bachmann's Mount Rushmore Picks Reveal
Ivan Eland: Analyzing whom a candidate would add to Mount Rushmore, instead of if they can remember a specific fact when under pressure, might just provide some sort of window on what policies a candidate might pursue if successful.
GOP Debates: Shock and Aww Two More This Week!?
Tina Dupuy: You know what's never been said? "We should have MORE Republican primary debates." Why? Because there are (by my count) 734,589 debates this election cycle and not enough hours in the day (spent working harder for less money) to watch eight Republican candidates stand around agreeing with each other for two hours every night.
The GOP Campaign: It Would Be Funny If It Weren't So Serious
John Peeler: So now they're left with, of all people, Newt Gingrich! This man has so much baggage he needs a train to haul it.

Beebe Medical Foundation will again highlight its focus on heart and vascular health Sunday, Sept. 8, by hosting the Fourth Annual Treat the Beat 5K Walk to support Cardiac and Vascular Services at Beebe Medical Center.
The free event will take place at George H. P. Smith Park at Blockhouse Pond, adjacent to Beebe Medical Center's main campus in Lewes. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. with the walk starting at 9 a.m. Beebe Medical Center's Population Health nurses will be on site to check blood pressure; healthy snacks will be available. Mid-Atlantic Family Practice is returning as title sponsor for the fourth year in a row. Jeffrey Heckert, MD, FAAFP, CEO of Mid-Atlantic Family Practice, is this year's honorary chair. In fall 2012, Heckert underwent life-saving heart surgery at Beebe Medical Center and credits the wonderful staff and surgeons for his recovery.
The walk is free, but all participants must register and are encouraged to raise money. Walkers who register by Aug. 30 will get a T-shirt. This year's top individual fundraiser will receive dinner for two at Striper Bites in Lewes, and the top fundraising team will receive sport arm bands for an iPhone/iPod Touch.
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of both men and women across the nation. The most common cause of heart disease is narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart. This happens over time and is the major cause of heart attacks.
Beebe Medical Center's Cardiac and Vascular Services provide comprehensive care for patients with diseases of the heart and arteries. Services include cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, interventional cardiology, cardiac rhythm management, electrophysiology services, cardiac and vascular diagnostic testing, and cardiac rehabilitation services.
Healthgrades ranked Beebe Medical Center No. 1 in Delmarva for Vascular Surgery in 2013, and gave it a 5-star rating for Carotid Surgery in 2013. Healthgrades also ranked Beebe Medical Center No. 1 in Delaware for Cardiology Services in 2013.
To register for the Treat the Beat event, visit www.beebefoundation.org or call the foundation at 302-644-2900.
Beebe Medical Foundation was established in 1989 with the sole mission to raise philanthropic support for Beebe Medical Center. The foundation is at 902 Savannah Road, Lewes.

Discussion in 'Moves In The Field' started by treesprite, Dec 23, 2013.
Wondering if anyone cares to share about their winter shows.
Me, me me! But this is more in the snark category, rather than happy. I work for a local university and our club performs a group number at the opening of a seasonal rink in front of a big hotel. It's actually a really nice set-up since it's in a popular area and we get a good crowd who comes to watch & skate in the free public skating (including skate rentals) that follows the show. This year, we got lots of snow and some rain the morning before the show, so we were pretty surprised when we heard it wasn't cancelled. Drove to the rink and finally managed to park on the street through mounds of snow, only to find out the show was cancelled after all. Erm, right. We did get free brunch since they felt bad for us, but I really wish the cancellation would have been better managed.
On the bright side, we did several runthroughs at a public session Saturday before the show and ended up having *all* the public skaters sitting by the boards, watching and cheering at the end. Which was a nice surprise and confirmation that we were finally in reasonably good unison. Unfortunately, never had a chance to do it at the actual rink opening. But we'll probably keep the program for next year .
eta: upside down video from earlier in the week. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9_-plb8h9hzZG5hSTl5MXB5QUU/edit
We did a free recital at the rink. Some of the kids did competitive numbers and others did special holiday numbers. I actually couldn't be there, since I had to work at my other job, but the big picture in the newspaper was of the little duet I helped choreograph. One of my little skaters and one of my daughter's teamed up for "All I Want for Christmas Is You", with one of them as a little girl and the other as her Christmas puppy. I added some whistles and barking to the sound track, and it turned out pretty cute! Two of my adult skaters reworked an old program to "You Make Me Feel So Young", dressed up as little kids. They and another of my adult students were interviewed for the accompanying article. We'll be doing some exhibitions at the outdoor rink this winter, so that number will probably get used some more.
That's adorable!
I don't suppose there's a video?
If there is, I haven't seen it yet. We were pretty happy with how it turned out, though! Both girls were pretty puzzled when we explained that the song was originally about wanting to have a boyfriend for Christmas - they thought that was gross!
Even cuter! Puppies rule!

BEIJING, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Chinese swimmer Li Zhesi, who has tested positive for a banned substance, will be out of the upcoming London Olympic Games, said Shang Xiutang, vice president of China Swimming Association, on Saturday.
"We've received the report of her doping test," said Shang. "And we will help the China Anti-Doping Agency (CHINADA) do further investigation. But Li for sure will not take part in the Olympic Games. Whether she can compete in the National Games next year will depend on the final result of the investigation."
CHINADA announced Saturday that the 16-year-old Li was found positive for blood-boosting drug erythropoeitin, or EPO, in an out-of-competition test carried out on March 31.
"The drug was found both in the A and B samples," it said in the announcement, adding that the punishment has yet to be decided.
Li was a member of the winning team in the 4x100m medley relay event at the 2009 Rome Worlds. She was also the winner of the women's 50m freestyle at the 2010 Asian Games.
According to Shang, Li was not on the list of the first batch of swimmers for the London Games.

Ripoff Report
Juan Juan Salon9667 WILSHIRE BOULEVARD BEVERLY HILLS, CA 90210 Los Angeles, California USA
Juan Juan Salon Violated Labor Laws Los Angeles California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Juan Juan Salons are habitually engaging in illegal practices in regardes to labor and treatment of employees. They do not allow employees to take normal 10 minute breaks, and often encourage employees to not even take a lunch break (they dont specifically SAY this as they know it is illegal, but they often persuade their employees to not take a lunch break on a 9 hour shift by giving them so much work to do there seems to be no time for it).
There are employees who work for the salon on "under the table" terms, specifically the cleaning and laundry persons. This persons income is not taxed or reported to the IRS, and works for sub-standard pay for this position.
This salon never checked my cosmotology license (a state requirement for the position i was hired for), never took a copy of my drivers license or social security number (they said they had no copying machine), did not process any tax papers upon hiring me, never gave me an employee handbook, and refused to correspond when i contacted them regarding these matters inquiring how i would be paid.
It took the salon six weeks to give me a check. Only after i told them (i had to keep leaving messages with the receptionist) i was going to file a report with the labor department did they suddenly make an effort to cut me a check. The check they finally delivered was a personal check that did not include any tips (i was supposed to have received tips in my paycheck for every day i was there helping with clients in a very busy, pricey environment). The check also automatically deducted a hefty tax amount with no legal receipt of where these amounts were allocated (I am confident this money did not go to taxes or social security).
After speaking with the other employees of the salon and some ex employees, i realized that these people habitually abuse their employees by over working them, exempt tips from checks, have new employees work "trial days" that they dont get paid for, refuse proper break times, and flat out try to not pay employees.
One last thing i immediately noticed about this salon, is that despite their extremely high prices (amongst the highest in the field for this service) their customer service was terrible. Clients were often left sitting for long stretchs of time because the head stylist was busy on the phone chatting with her family or double booking her time. Often times she would leave a client who was paying $400+ for a service with a new assistant doing a lot of the work, while she went and sat in her office eating lunch, on the phone, or taking another client at the same time. She would then come back and try to humiliate the assistant in front of the client to take the focus off her disappearance.
The owners of this salon often refuse to fix any mistakes that they make, and instead choose to humilate their clients who complain about services that they received. This behaviour is noted in some of their yelp reviews. Within a week of being there I was told that nobody in the salon gets along with the head stylist, and none of the assistants devulged that they were receiving any reasonable amount of tips from her (tips are a standard part of the pay for this position).

Lies and intimidation, not surprising.
SUBMITTED: Friday, September 06, 2013POSTED: Friday, September 06, 2013
Given that the reply did not address most of the points noted in the report, it is only more obvious that this business is not acting appropriately. The behaviour noted (rude, insulting and unprofessional treatment of customers and employees) is documented in numerous bad reviews on yelp, and the fact that some of their better stylists have moved on to working at other salons. Ripoff report has another report of a similar experience at this salon.
I stand by every word that was stated here to be truth, regardless of their attempts to be intimidating by calling it "slanderous". The check that was cut was called a "personal check" by the manager, and despite it being a "business account" was still not done through proper payroll to substantiate taxes with held (this business never took a copy of any identification documents and did not produce a LEGALLY acceptable form of tax receipt).
While employeed at this company, and shortly after leaving I was voluntarily offered information indicating that these practices are known to be common at this particular salon. Not every person who has this knowledge is going to complain to the labor department of file a report, but that does not make it untrue. Despite its 4 star rating, several of the reviews here on yelp document others bad experiences with the attitude of this salon (i dont even know how they have 4 stars with so many bad reviews mixed in). http://www.yelp.com/biz/juan-juan-salon-beverly-hills-2

#2 UPDATE Employee
Post written fraudulently
SUBMITTED: Friday, September 06, 2013POSTED: Friday, September 06, 2013
I am the manager of both Juan Juan locations. I have contacted Lena (Lina, the alleged writer of this post) and she did not write any such thing. I have written proof she did not write this report. =
I do in fact know who did write this reoport and have plenty of other employees willing to prove her story is innaccurate. She was never given a personal check. The check was from our business account. This person was also given a handbook her first week of work. We also have all necessary info regarding her employmnet. She was caught several times taking breaks thoughout the day while on the clock and did not like our response to that infraction. Each assistant (hourly employee) is given and must take a 1 hour break if working more than 5 hours, which is documented in our staff member handbook and complys with California labor laws.
All in all this report is false and it is illegal for this person to be using another past employee's name in sladdering our company.

Your opinion: Will Ford "fix" the 2012 Focus for good?
Just curious what everyone's consensus is: do you think Ford will iron out all the technical issues with the PowerShift and MyFordTouch and get this car ironclad and rock solid for the long run?
I do not currently own a Focus, or a Ford for that matter, but have been researching for some time to replace my daily commuter car and the 2012 Focus (5-door Titanium in particular) is by far my favorite of anything and everything out there right now. I love the style, inside and out, the features, the ride, the tech, the materials on the interior, etc. I have test-driven a 5-door Titanium twice and was as in love as one can be with a car, BUT reading about all the issues with the PS and MFT does make one very nervous to pull the trigger, so I keep lurking and browsing sites like this one hoping to hear the announcement that Ford has finally worked everything out and all the new ones run like clockwork.
I buy new, pay cash and keep my cars a long time (10-years minimum), so although efficiency and comfort are important, reliability is paramount (I have a 100-mile daily round-trip commute). My current commuter is a 2002 Honda Civic EX, and outside of routine scheduled maintenance, two set of front brake pads, and several sets of tires I have had only ONE repair in the 11 years / 155,000 miles I've owned it so far; at 147k a rear sway bar link broke. That's IT. And this experience was the same with past Hondas I own as well, so the Focus would have big shoes to fill for me. Before you tell me to "just go buy another Honda, rice boy" I should note I've driven the new Civic multiple times too, and just don't care for it, especially when compared to the Focus.
Just a viewpoint from outside looking in: you have an awesome car Ford, and I really WANT to be a convert, but you need to be truly world-class with your quality to sway people away from the established Japanese brands.
