I was out patrolling my yard, and when I got back I discovered that I had been tagged by my friend, Phoebe, to participate in Kazumi Joy's meme.
The rules:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own diary about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your diary.
My seven random facts:
1. I will sit and watch a chipmunk hole for hours.
2. I am the smallest cat in my house.
3. However, I am the top cat in my house.
4. I love my brother, Spencer.
5. I will go outside in any weather, perhaps I was a postal carrier in another life.
6. I am a catnip addict. *eyes go wild* I can't help it, I just can't get enough.
7. I go crazy when mom gets out the laser pointer. I'll chase that little red light anywhere.
The cats that I am tagging are:
Fiesta Cat
Arnold P
I had quite an adventure the other day. I can only just now write about it. As usual, I was pestering to go outside early in the morning to make my daily patrol around the yard. Mom hestitated because she had to go away that day, but relented because I am a very good pesterer. But when she left, she forgot I was outside! She didn't get home until after dark, and when I didn't show up in the kitchen for dinner she realized what she had done and ran outside to find me. After she nearly had a heart attack, I came up on the deck and ran in the house. She lavished apologies and love on me the rest of the night.
So now kitties, I will share how I spent my exciting day. First, I made my patrols of the yard. I saw no intruders. I guarded the bird feeder for a while. Those birds eat too much seed and I have to force them to conserve. I went to my favorite chipmunk hole and watched for him to come out and play. Then I went up on the deck to go in, but mom never came. So back down for another patrol. Back on the deck. Around supper time I was getting pretty hungry and sat outside the door, but still no one came.
When it got dark, I heard the big owl that lives in our valley, so I stayed close to the house under the bushes. I worked my way to the front door, in case anyone was there. I cried a little (but don't tell anyone). Finally, a car pulled into the driveway, and shortly after I heard mom. But I was mad and a little scared so I made her wait just a little while before I finally went inside! Relief! Food! Hugs! I stayed inside the next day and slept a lot. I burned lots of energy on my adventure and needed to recharge. So that was my big adventure- exciting or scary? You decide.
It is a beautiful day today! The sun is shining and its nice and warm. No need to save energy, I'll just be baking myself in the sun. My patrol is easy today, no intruders and lots to keep me entertained. The deer have been coming round early, eating all of our plants. And I've noticed some of the winter birds - juncos - have arrived. I think I'll enjoy today!

Home > Entertainment > Books > Article
By Jake Arnott
Hodder Headline, $32.95
American mystery writer Dennis Lehane echoes the feelings of many of his contemporaries in the burgeoning field of crime fiction when he says he reads stories to find out about the characters, and that plot is just a vehicle that lets you find out who they are as people. Jake Arnott, rising star of British crime fiction, follows this dictum, setting up a satisfying mystery in his third novel in which we're concerned about what happens to his cast, far more than we care about any plot-driven finale.
There are three main characters here, starting with hack writer Tony Meehan, who gives the book its Orwellian title as he laments the fates that have led him to making a living ghostwriting memoirs, or truecrime, as he calls it, for over-the-hill crims and likely lads.
He's also a man with a veiled, sordid past, as he reveals very early in the story: "I haven't killed anyone for almost 10 years." And yet despite such a provocative line, Arnott refuses to tell all.
But then, as this completes the trilogy begun in 1999 with The Long Firm and continued last year with He Kills Coppers, maybe Meehan's past lies there.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, because Meehan has his hands full with his latest truecrime subject, Eddie Doyle, fresh out of prison after taking a fall for the Hounslow bullion job, a decade before. And things really get interesting when Eddie sees Harry Starks at Ronnie Kray's funeral.
Meanwhile, young actress Julie Kincaid is annoyed with her boyfriend, an aspiring filmmaker trying to make a Tarantino-inspired movie, tapping into the rising English Zeitgeist (and which could be seen as the birth of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and its many clones ), acting like a street-wise wide boy when he's anything but. See, Julie has a secret: the lifestyle her boyfriend's trying to emulate, she knows first-hand, because her real surname is McCluskey and her dad was gangland legend Big Jock, rubbed out years earlier by Harry Starks.
Our third face is Gary "Gaz" Kelly, a small-time hustler, muscle for hire and unlucky crim, who has fallen out with his guv, a man allegedly behind the disappearance of the gold taken in the Hounslow job.
Arnott does a terrific job of recreating the mood of England heading into the 1990s, the rise of New Labour and Cool Britannia, and the burgeoning club scene, fuelled by ecstasy and cocaine and populated by all manner of spivs, crims, football hooligans and skinheads. He is also good at mixing fact and fiction to give his characters a livable place to act out their stories.
The book has a lovely structure, following the main three people and their entourages. Each chapter is dedicated to one of them, and as the story progresses there is increasing cross-pollination between the groups.
Of the three, Gaz is the most fully realised, and much of the mood and scene-setting takes place through flashbacks of his life, his rises and falls, from nightclub bouncer to drug-dealing impresario, in and out of prison, good times and bad. A lot of Arnott's most clever writing comes in the dialogue around Gaz as he moves through his world.
Gradually everyone comes to focus on the missing Hounslow gold, first taken by Eddie Doyle. And at the centre of everything is the man from Arnott's first two books, the elusive Harry Starks.
Now here's the funny thing about Arnott's storytelling. After taking us right under the skin of Gaz and Julie (less so for Tony, thankfully), it's almost as if he says, "Right, that's enough", and wraps up the whole thing in a frenetic 20 or so pages. It's kind of sloppy, but we know how everyone ends up. And what about the gold? Who cares?

The HTC Wildfire S will not make you forget about the HTC Sensation 4G, but for new smartphone users or those on a budget, this handset will more than suffice. Pricing, though, has not been mentioned although we can assume it won't cost as much as an high-end model, and we have no launch date for the phone. What the model does is remind of the song "Wildfire" by Michael Murphey which takes us back to the care-free days of our youth. And for that HTC, we say thanks.

Romy G kit that is , just want check and cover my ass
Depending on what kind of parts kit, if you cant sell it to him I may take it, its legal here.
Romy G kit that is , just want check and cover my ass
Not sure about the laws in Hawaii but let me know if it falls though cause I am buying a few G kits in real good condition.
i'd guess no hi-cap mag, no FA parts. I hav ethe big purple book, but it's at work. i'll check tomorrow.
High cap pistol mags over 10 rounds are illegal in Hawaii. Rifle mags are ok. The guns stores in Hawaii are selling 30 round ar15 mags. It is a misdemeanor to posses a pistol mag over 10 rounds. It is a felony to install a high cap pistol mag into a pistol. There are no laws against parts kits in the Hawaii. The gun stores had a few kits for sale and they will also bring in receivers for you.
He is telling the truth. I lived on the big island for 4 years, and you can own/sell high cap rifle mags to anyone all day long. Its the pistol mags that are limited to 10 rds only. You can also safely ship them the kit, as there is no restriction on parts on the books. If the person who buys the kit from you builds it into a pistol, its their problem and not yours. I frequently send parts to my old friends back on the island, just sent 12 H&K 93 40rders to one buddy. You'll be fine.
what about hicap mags to Kommiefornia? if they are shipped seperately and disassembled?
I have sold and shipped Hi-cap rifle mags to HI before, it is legit.Originally Posted by HFSPBfan

I will venture to say the shipping may be a little pricey

April 20, 2011
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Two University of Michigan football videos produced for MGoBlue.com have been nominated for three EMMY Awards by the National Television Academy Michigan Chapter. "This Big House" is nominated for Outstanding Sports/One-Time Special, while "Timeless" is nominated in two Craft Achievement categories: Writer/Short Form and Graphic Arts/Graphics. The 33rd Annual Emmy Awards will be held on Saturday, May 14, at the Motor City Casino Sound Board Theater in Detroit.
Writer/producer Michael O'Leary, sound designer Erik Johnson, narrator Zach McGowan and director of production Barbara Cossman are nominated for "This Big House," which chronicles the events of the 2010 season-opening game against Connecticut on Sept. 4 when Michigan Stadium was formally rededicated after a three-year renovation and expansion project.
The video covers the team every step of the way on the historic day, as it leaves the hotel, rides the buses to the stadium for the Victors Walk, and dramatically awaits its entrance onto the field in the Michigan Stadium tunnel. It also documents the pregame ribbon-cutting ceremony, an inspiring walk to midfield by Brock Mealer, brother of U-M lineman Elliott Mealer, celebratory fireworks, and highlights from the 30-10 victory.
Layering historic video with current video of the renovated stadium, "Timeless" is an homage to the incredible history of the Big House, and many of the famed moments and individuals who have made it what it is today. O'Leary is nominated in the Writer/Short Form category for "Timeless," while animator Heather Baldwin is nominated in the Graphic Arts-Graphics category.
Also nominated in the category of Sporting Event/Game-Live/Unedited-Program/Special was FS Detroit's broadcast of Michigan's world record-setting outdoor ice hockey game, The Big Chill at the Big House (Mark Iacofano, Brian J. Maas, John Tuohey).

D-backs, Yanks, Tigers talk blockbuster
D-backs, Yanks, Tigers talk blockbuster
While it appeared the negotiations reached an impasse, there were indications that the talks were ongoing and could resume Tuesday.
Tigers president/general manager Dave Dombrowski declined to comment on the report specifically and instead said, "There's all sorts of rumors, but don't believe everything you read."
The Tigers baseball operations staff met far later into the night than is their usual during the Winter Meetings.
If the deal were to go through, according to the report, the Yankees would get Granderson from the Tigers and a pair of prospects from the D-backs.
The Tigers, meanwhile, would receive Scherzer from the D-backs along with outfielder Austin Jackson and left-handed pitchers Phil Coke and Michael Dunn from the Yankees.
The D-backs would get Jackson from the Tigers and right-hander Ian Kennedy from the Yankees.
The Yankees have been linked to Granderson for some time now and he would give them an everyday center fielder. The Yankees won the World Series with a mix-and-match sequence of Melky Cabrera and Brett Gardner chasing down balls in center, so defense is not the primary concern as the club attempts to defend its title.
But with left fielder Johnny Damon and designated hitter Hideki Matsui both free agents, New York will somehow look to replace the lost offense if both stars leave, which might make an option like acquiring Granderson more attractive.
The Tigers would get a former first-round Draft pick in Scherzer, who will cost less money than Jackson and would be under club control for another five seasons as opposed to Jackson, who will become a free agent following 2011.
In addition, the Tigers are known to covet the 22-year-old Austin Jackson, who they watched hit .300 with 24 stolen bases while primarily playing center for the Yankees' Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre club in 2009. Detroit would also bolster its pitching depth with the pair of young left-handers.
The D-backs are looking to fill the No. 4 spot in the rotation, and despite losing Scherzer would do so by getting both Edwin Jackson and Kennedy in return. The pair would slot in behind Brandon Webb and Dan Haren in the rotation.
The deal would not increase the D-backs' payroll much and the club could use more of the $10 million it has left to spend this offseason improving an offense that has struggled the past several seasons rather than having to spend it on signing a free-agent pitcher.
Kennedy missed much of last season after having surgery to take care of an aneurysm under his right armpit May 12. He pitched in four Minor League games for Scranton last year and made one appearance for the Yankees and tossed a scoreless inning.
The D-backs are reportedly pushing for the deal and it's not known which of the other two teams is balking. While not giving any indication that anything was close on the trade front, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman did provide a window into the organization's thinking when he revealed aspects of a rumored but dead trade from last July.
In that potential deal, the Yankees had been seeking starting-pitching help and were interested in then-Mariners lefty Jarrod Washburn. But talks crumbled when Seattle insisted upon receiving Jackson, who is regarded as a five-tool prospect.
The Tigers came into the Winter Meetings saying they will not make a deal simply to clear payroll, and they continue to suggest that. They continue to look for young talent that can help them now and in the future, and Dombrowski insists that they will not give up on 2010 as they look toward the future.
However, while the Tigers don't discuss it, there's also a realization that the economy in Michigan is forcing the team to adjust, even as Detroit awaits expiring contracts that could take more than $50 million off the payroll for 2011. Even if the Tigers trade Jackson and Granderson, their 2010 payroll will sit well above $100 million.
"I don't know if we're close to a trade or not," Dombrowski said, not referring specifically to the rumored blockbuster. "I don't really know that. Somebody might call us up and say, 'You've got a deal.' And I'm not just talking about [Jackson] specifically; I'm talking about any player or a few players we're talking about.
"But we have had a lot of conversations. I would also not be shocked if I sat here [later in the week] and told you that nothing did happen."

Are these legal?
I know that red/blue are illegal since they're reserved for emergency vehicles but would this be legal in california?
I am sure your friendly neighborhood Chippie would be happy to tell you!:rofl: I would ask the DMV and get a cite from the applicable regs just to carry with me in case it was questioned.:eek:
I've seen they make these in changeable colors, you can basically dial in any RGB color from the dash.
There's a guy with a blacked out Challenger in my neighborhood, and every day his halo lights are set to a different color :)
"-I pulled you over for driving with blue front lights"
"-Let's go and take a look officer. Nope, they look white to me..." :)
Pursuant to national standards, forward lights emmitting iights shall be white (or select yellow). So I'd say 'no'.
Haha well I can't see it being an easy mod to make the halo lights a changeable color from the dash board...is there a way to turn the angel eyes off and just leave the headlights on?

Poll--are your curls colored or virgin?
I thought I should post this question here rather than on the coloring board because those who don't color wouldn't go to the color board.
I'm curious...who colors their curls/waves vs doesn't (and therefore has virgin curls/waves).
So, more specifically: Do you color, if so with what, and are you covering any gray?
Me: Yes, RC #7 Golden Chestnut, prematurely grayed about 35-40% (and very, very resistant to color and lets go of color very easily)
I've been color-free for the better part of 3yrs or so now. :D Virgin hair for the first time in over a decade!
Thankfully I don't have any grays to worry about yet.
I started coloring about 6 months ago using Framesi professional color. But I've highlighted every 3-4 months prior to coloring for about 13 years. My hair seems in better condition with color only and no highlighting. I'm naturally blonde, so the highlights were lighter blonde highlights. I now have strawberry blonde thanks to Framesi color. The first time I colored strawberry, it washed out after about 2 weeks. This time it's definitely still vibrant. The first time they used conditioner when they added color so it was less permanent. As much as I heard that red doesn't last, this is still looking great after three weeks.
I used to dye my hair a dark chocolate brown for a long time (naturally it's light/medium ash brown). Recently I've stopped dyeing it and it's been growing like a weed. I'm pretty sure most of my hair now is virgin. I have a few greys that pop up, so I just watch out for them and pull them out. If I start getting any more, I'll definitely go back to coloring.
I used to color for fun, haven't colored for over a year now (it takes too much time!). I've got some white and some silver hairs. For some reason, they tend to be really shiny. Their number is increasing. Sigh.
I'm hoping to just go gray. I have my mom's hair and her gray looks good so maybe I'll get lucky. I'm old enough now that being gray won't make me look prematurely old...just age-appropriate old.
So far even though the grays are in the "top curly zone" of my head, they aren't particularly curly.
Aside from an ill-conceived Ginger Spice blonde streak in college, I've never colored my hair.
right now my hair is brown (from black) and i have some highlights
Definitely don't have virgin hair! I get bored with my looks very easily. Hair Color is just one way I change myself.
Right now, I have dark blonde highlights in reddish brown(natural color). But I'm bored, so after school lets out, I think I'm going to go all brown, but a lighter shade than my natural color. I'm going to wait till the summer b/c I've already changed my hair twice during this school year so I don't want to through my kindergartners off too much!
Blonde highlights. Close to the colour my hair goes in the sun. I have no idea what shade they are because I get them done at the hairdressers. I do know it's colour by Wella.
I have blonde highlights. My hair is dark blonde/light brown so they are pretty much the color my hair used to be and is usually in the summer. I have them done, so I'm not sure what she uses.
I do, Pintura highlights. I get them done at Devachan, NYC. In fact, I just got them done this past Saturday.
I've been coloring my hair for years. I used to do the highlights thang. Now I just want to cover the ever-increasing greys. I just HATE seeing my hair going grey (and it's only about 5% or so).
I'm currently using Garnier-Fructis. Although I liked Herbatint I just couldn't get past the smell of it lingering in my hair for days. I also tried Bigen and that worked well but the color choices are limited. So for now, Garnier-Fructis it is.
Me - RC #15. I am 80+% resistant gray/white. Karin on RC site advised me to use a more saturated solution (more powder in the same amount of water) and keep it on for 60 minutes and that works. I keep it on for 45-50 with a heatcap and draw through for 5-10.
Before RC I used Clairol Jazz (inconsistent color results) or Beautiful Browns (extremely temporary). Also used Natural Instincts; great color but the chemicals were to harsh.
Me, me! I'm a virgin! :lol: :lol:
Well, for now, anyway. The only thing I ever had done chemically was the Japanese Straightening, and that is all cut off and long gone now. But those greys are starting to increase in number, so I think I'll have to consider some colour soon...
My hair is virgin right now....I used to get highlights but gave them up several years ago and have long since cut all the highlighted hair off. I'm going to be 50 in July and am getting quite a bit of gray distributed throughout my hair but I just can't face the maintenance required when doing any kind of color.
A bonus is that my hair is in much better condition than when I had it highlighted. I may give it another try with my new hairdresser though.
I get mine done at a salon. Base color is about a level 7 blonde with no grays. The salon uses Wella Color Charm demi on me - a mix of two of their reds.
In the past, I have dyed my hair red because I love red hair, and I've highlighted my hair to look more like my younger towheaded self. However, the colors on my head since I started CG are aaalll mine.
Including the solitary gray hair I discovered about a month ago.
I'm a virgin here. I got blonde highlights once in my life- last summer- and they are just about all grown out. No plans to do that ever again, I'll just stick with just my red. :-)
I'm a redheaded virgin also. I've never colored or highlighted it at all. :)
i've never colored my hair before. i can't settle on a color so i don't bother with it. of course i can settle on tattoos

1993 World Trade Center bombing taught tough lessons
NEW YORK — It had to be an accident.
Although hard to imagine, that was the prevailing theory moments after an explosion rocked the World Trade Center about noon on a chilly Feb. 26, 1993.
The truth — that a cell of Islamic extremists had engineered a car bomb attack that killed six people, wounded more than 1,000 and caused more than a half-billion dollars in damage — "was incomprehensible at the time," recalled FBI Agent John Anticev.
On the eve of the 20-year anniversary of the bombing, Anticev and law enforcement officials involved in the case reflected on an event that taught them tough lessons about a dire threat from jihadists.
"In those days, terrorism wasn't the first reaction," former federal prosecutor David Kelley said.
The scale of the attack was the first dramatic demonstration that "terrorism is theater and New York is the biggest stage," police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
A two-time commissioner, Kelly was serving his first stint when the initial report came in to police that day that there was an apparent transformer explosion at the trade center.
Kelly raced to the scene, where the bomb planted in a parked Ryder van had left a crater half the size of a football field in the trade center garage. For the first time since it opened in 1973, the trade center stood in the darkness that night.
"I remember seeing this tremendous sea of first-responder vehicles ... and smoke was coming out," Kelly said.
A day later, when a utility mishap was ruled out, authorities "started to come to the conclusion it was a bomb," Kelly said.
The probe took a dramatic turn when investigators found a vehicle identification number on a piece of the blown-up van.
Investigators later learned that the renter of the van wanted to get his deposit back after reporting it stolen — a break that sounded too good to be true.
"I was betting he wouldn't show up," said Kelley.
The renter, Mohammed Salameh, appeared to demand his deposit about a week after the blast.
When Anticev heard Salameh's name, "I really almost started to cry," the agent recalled.
His dismay was well-earned. He had long been watching Salameh and other radical Muslims in the FBI's investigation of the assassination of Jewish Defense League founder Meir Kahane at a Manhattan hotel.
A pipe bomb attack "was as big a plot as we thought they were capable of," he said.
In hindsight, Anticev believes agents were "too Western" in their attempts to neutralize the terrorists before they struck.
He described using tough interrogation tactics that would have spooked ordinary criminals — obtaining subpoenas and bringing them in for questioning in rooms where they purposely displayed surveillance photos of them on the wall.
"We thought they would be chilled by that experience," he said. "But it was like water off a duck's back. That did not scare them at all. They just did it anyway. ... That was a big lesson."

Nice!! They're adorable, aren't they?
Thanks for the kind words! The shapes are just so fun. And, definitely! Paper towels keep that odd, crusty layer from forming very nicely.
The butter is softened, so definitely room temperature. Just fixed, see step 2. Thanks for the heads up!

Re: Cadillac News: Cadillac logo losing its wreath?
I'll say it- I absolutely hate the entire Cadillac logo. Enough so that it keeps me from buying an Escalade. Seriously, I am not a fan of "bling" and while the new Escalade looks great on many levels, the bling of that emblem is just too much for me (and my wife, fwiw). I found this post looking to see if anyone had debadged an Escalade, no luck so far. :-(

Armine Yalnizyan: Hi John. I guess the issue that engages the most people, rich and poor, is how you see the future unfolding for the next generation, whether they are your children or not. Put another way - this generation of Canadian boomers have enjoyed the very best life any nation has ever provided any group of citizens. We've lived like queens and kings of yesteryear and more of us had opportunities to fulfil our own personal potential than any previous generation. Can we assure the same thing for the next generation? Can we excuse ourselves if we can't?
Comment From Allison: Does income inequality have any additional impacts on children, over and above the effects of living in poverty? If so, how can those be mitigated?
Armine Yalnizyan: Richard Wilkinson's presentation last week was very evocative in connecting the dots between income inequality and how we are, essentially, primates - a species that is biologically dependent on one another and picks up behavioural queues from one another, for better or worse. He points out how you are raised in the early years sets off a life-cycle of behavioural patterns and physiological (possibly epigenetic) triggers. For example, if you are raised in a highly unequal society you might expect greater recklessness on the part of those at the bottom of the income spectrum, as more unequal societies are also shown in his data to offer less social mobility. Reckless behaviour has an impact on the individual being reckless, but also on those around them. It may make sense to take risks if there is, essentially, no cost to taking those risks and perhaps lots of gains, but it does make the world a more stressful place. How can such an environment be offset? Reducing inequality, partly by making the lived experience of children more equal - access to the same high quality education, health, recreation, time with parents (or someone who can provide real care), etc. Pretty simple stuff, really.
Natalie Stechyson: We're running out of time. I have a final question. We've discussed the problem - I'm interested in hearing what you think the solutions may be. How do we begin to solve income inequality?
Armine Yalnizyan: We begin to solve any problem when we agree there is a problem to solve. There are so many ways to redress income inequality, and its related inequalities, that it's not an issue of what policy/solution is best. It's simply an issue of when we get to a critical mass that says yes it's important to fix this problem. We can raise our kids more equitably - but it will take more taxes. We can have less of a winner take all society - but it will require some people at the top to trim their expectations. We can beat this in small ways, but we also need leaders to express the way forward. In the US they have Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and politicians leading the way. We're waiting for more people like Ed Clarke, the CEO of TD Bank, to weigh in on how to make Canada fairer (his suggestion is higher taxes on the rich). It's just a question of time.
Natalie Stechyson: Thank you for joining us today on globeandmail.com. That's all the time we have. Thank you to our guest, Armine Yalnizyan. And thanks to everyone for contributing their comments and questions. Please join us tomorrow for the next discussion in our series.

BEIRUT — Syrian troops and opposition fighters clashed today during fierce battles in suburbs of the Syrian capital where the opposition claimed a chemical weapons attack this week killed more than 100 people, activists said. Also today, the Lebanese government said its troops captured a truck carrying gas masks near the Syrian border.
The government offensive entered its third day and came as U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the Syrian government to allow a U.N. team now in Damascus to swiftly investigate the alleged chemical weapons attack.
U.N. deputy spokesman Eduardo del Buey said the U.N. chief has been in touch with world leaders since Wednesday and is sending U.N. disarmament chief Angela Kane to Damascus to press for an investigation.
Syrian opposition figures and activists have reported death tolls from Wednesday's attack ranging from 136 to 1,300.
But if confirmed, even the most conservative tally would make it the deadliest chemical attack in Syria's civil war.
Syria's deputy prime minister told The Associated Press that foreign fighters and their international backers are to blame for the attack.
Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamil's comments were part of a government campaign to use the horror over the deaths to boost its narrative about the conflict — that Syria is under assault by foreign Islamic radicals.
It is an argument that has powerful resonance with the Syrian public as the presence of militants fighting alongside Syria's rebels increases.
Rebels blamed the attack on the Syrian military, saying toxic chemicals were used in artillery barrages on the area known as eastern Ghouta on Wednesday.
Jamil did not directly acknowledge that toxic gas was used against the eastern suburbs but denied allegations by anti-government activists that President Bashar Assad's forces were behind the assault.
In an interview broadcast today on CNN, U.S. President Barack Obama called the possible chemical attack in Syria a "big event of grave concern" and said, while pending confirmation, the event was "very troublesome" and was going to "require America's attention."
A 20-member U.N. team led by Swedish chemical weapons expert Ake Sellstrom has been in Damascus since Sunday to investigate three sites where past chemical weapons attacks allegedly occurred: the village of Khan al-Assal just west of the embattled northern city of Aleppo and two other locations kept secret for security reasons.
Jamil told The Associated Press on Thursday he was personally in favor of a fair, transparent international delegation to investigate the most recent incident in Ghouta. But he said that would require a new agreement between the government and the U.N. and that the conditions for such a delegation would need to be studied.
In neighboring Lebanon, the army said in a statement that troops have captured a truck with "large amounts" of gas masks in the southeastern village of Kfeir near the border with Syria.
A Lebanese army general said an investigation is under way about the masks and could not say whether they were being taken to Syria. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Syria-based activist Mohammed Abdullah said the fighting, air raids and shelling occurred in different parts of Damascus suburbs today.
"Clashes are almost on all fronts," said Abdullah, who is based in the Damascus suburb of Saqba.
"Zamalka is destroyed," he said referring to one of the areas that was allegedly struck with chemical weapons on Wednesday.
In Moscow, the Russian Foreign Ministry called for an independent probe by U.N. experts into the alleged attack.
The statement released today said that Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had discussed the situation by telephone on Thursday, and concluded that they had a "mutual interest" in calling for the U.N. investigation.
The statement said Russia had called for Assad's embattled government to cooperate with an investigation, but questions remained about the willingness of the opposition, "which must secure safe access of the mission to the location of the incident."
Also today, two U.N. agencies said the number of registered child refugees fleeing Syria's violence has topped the 1 million mark in another grim milestone of the deepening conflict.
Roughly half of all the nearly 2 million registered refugees from Syria are children, and some 740,000 of those are under the age of 11, according to the U.N. refugee and children's agencies.
UNICEF and the Office for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees say some 7,000 children are among the more than 100,000 killed in the unrest in Syria, which began in March 2011 and later exploded into a civil war.
Most of the refugees fleeing Syria have arrived in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt. However, U.N. officials say that increasingly Syrians are fleeing to North Africa and Europe.
The two U.N. agencies estimate that more than 2 million children also have been displaced within Syria.
Ban said today the real number of Syrian refugees is "well over 2 million" if unregistered refugees are counted.
Associated Press writers Lee Keath and John Heilprin contributed to this report.

Our stay at Cleve Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cleve Cottage - it suited us very well and were made very welcome by Cherie.including our dog . We contacted the vicar of the church opposite and arranged to be able to park our car in the car park as otherwise there is only on road parking and Guisbrough Road can be very busy.
Cosy, warm, convenient - lovely stay
Great base for lots of days out, we felt very at home - everything in the cottage for a relaxing stay.
Super dog friendly cottage
Clean and comfortable cottage. Great position in lovely village. Friendly welcome by the owner who was at hand to help if needed. Ideal location for walking - spotted a kingfisher nearby. Enjoyed Roseberry Topping, train to Whitby and a lovely meal at the Buck Inn. I have already recommended the cottage to a friend. Great to be able to take the dog - a ver enjoyable break.
Cutest little cottage.
We just had the best weekend in the truly gorgeous village of Great Ayton. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfy with lovely bedding and the thickest duvet on the planet.
Our host was welcoming and left us yummy treats and we simply loved our stay. It was all topped off with a walk to Roseberry Topping through fields of lambs on a sunny spring day. Perfect.
Cosy, homely place to stay. Very convenient for the North Yorkshire Moors and Dales National Parks.
This cottage is exactly as per the description - modernly decorated, beautifully furnished, comfortable, clean and well-maintained. However, the bed was a bit hard but this was probably because we've just got a new mattress at home and noticed the difference. It was lovely to find fresh home-made biscuits and cake to welcome us - thank you Cherie. We found the cottage perfectly situated for exploring the village, the North Yorkshire Moors, Yorkshire Dales and the coast at Saltburn only 8 miles away. I found it just right for re-visiting the area where I grew up. Overall we'd thoroughly recommend this cosy place to any single person or couple and their dog. We hope to stay there again when we next visit the area.
For extra information, we recommend The Royal Oak public house about 5 - 10 minutes walk away, depending on how much sniffing your dog does! The staff were very welcoming and made a big fuss of our greyhound, Bella. The food portions were generous and delicious - good pub grub. Also try the ice cream along the street at Suggitts. It's an old fashioned sweetie shop but makes and sells the best ice cream ever and has been for generations according to my late Dad.
Amazing stay
Me and my girlfriend recently stayed at River Cottage and it was lovely. We were greeted with a very friendly welcome from Mike who not only showed us the cottage but also gave us some tips on things to do and places to eat. Cherie had also made some cheese scones, tea loaf and biscuits for us which was lovely and very tasty.
The cottage itself is really comfortable, clean and done out to a high standard. It also has a lovely outside area which is perfect if you get good weather. I couldn't recommend it enough and if we're back in the area we'll definitely be staying here.

Supporting United Way of Central Jersey's fund drive, 2007-2008
Although the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation became a national philanthropy in 1972 and has operated on a national scale since then, it also has continued funding a limited number of local institutions and projects in the New Brunswick area and throughout New Jersey. It does so in part to honor the legacy of its founder, and in part to recognize the special responsibilities to the communities and the state in which it is located.Middlesex County and Franklin Township in Somerset are communities of great affluence and great need. The United Way of Central Jersey annual program allocations assure the availability of services to individuals and families in need. This support helps ensure the availability of services to residents of New Brunswick, Perth Amboy, Carteret, Edison, Woodbridge and Franklin Township. Priority funding areas for July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008, will include programs that foster self-sufficiency, help children succeed, provide care for seniors and support people with disabilities. .

This sweeping epic drama from director Marius Holst is set in the year 1915, in a remote fjord just outside of Oslo, where an institution called the Bastoy Boys' Home is situated. Functioning as both a residence for youths from dysfunctional or impoverished homes and a reform school, it is guilty of routine acts of sadistic brutality meted out for even the most inconsequential of crimes. As the story opens, a newcomer arrives (Benjamin Helstad), who is alleged to have committed homicide. In no time at all, he stirs up trouble wherever he goes, as he does battle with the school governor (Stellan Skarsgard), confronts the sexually abusive dorm master (Kristoffer Joner), and expands the horizons of sincere but troubled dorm leader Olav (Trond Nilssen). Before long, he manages to drum up the spirit of revolution in the school hallways.

Diamond Jubilee Celebrations June 2, 2012
Today was the opening of the official Diamond Jubilee Celebration Weekend. Diamond Jubilee festivities officially began with a 41-gun salute fired by the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery at Horse Guards Parade in central London.
The Derby was won by a horse with the romantic name of Camelot. Quite fitting!

Wow, wouldn't that be something to have seen that all in person?
What an amazing Jubilee this is!
Thanks for keeping us so well informed and for building such excitement these weeks on this special occasion.
Long Reign the Queen!

Difference between 99 and 03 Suspension
Hey guys,
Just wondering what the difference is between the 99 323 and the 03 325 suspension is.
Koni has 2 different part numbers for the 2, so does all the coilover manufacturers.
Reason I'm asking is because I want to upgrade to KW V2's in the spring and pass on my Konis to a buddy of of mine who has a 03 325.
I've searched and pulled snake eyes.
There were some changes to the E46 suspension in 2001. According to RealOEM.com, in April 2001 there was a change to the rear shock, for example. I don't know what exactly changed, but I would guess the shocks are valved differently. There may be other changes, go to RealOEM.com, plug in your models and it will show you the break point for any changes ("From" and "Up To" in the part number diagrams).
From 09/2001 sport suspension was standard.
I knew that until 8/01 there were 2 types of shocks and 2 types of springs.
Per my research, the M sport suspension was an option part of the M tech package.
As of 09/01, the M sport suspension was standard.
I had the M sport suspension on my car and so did my mom. I have a 99 323i and she has a 01 320i. Her car, OEM to OEM, always felt stiffer and more responsive.
Thanks for the help, it confirms exactly what I thought.
We didn't have the same wheel setup.
She had a set of 16x7 with BFG G forces, and I had a set if 17x8 with FK 452's.
I think I will return to 16" with some Yoko RS3's

Hi, I´m looking for a theme with an atmosphere similar to The Walking Dead theme. Not a rip-off, but something with the same eerie feel, cinematic quality, strange sounds etc. I really like the way TWD theme goes down a note or two, and has this sick, eerie, "downward spiral" feel to it….if that makes sense.I found this: http://audiojungle.net/item/dark-kingdom/6424800
And while it´s a beautiful piece, I´d like it to be even more disturbing. Not more noisy or "in your face", but simply more eerie. If this at all makes sense, please let me hear your suggestions. Thanks!
please check out this track, it has maybe a little bit more action character and is less epic but maybe still suitable for you:
Thanks for checking out!
Hi lassebauer! Just listen to this from 1:00 minute http://audiojungle.net/item/epic-horror-trailer/6193211 (from the beginning to 1:00 is more background/trailerish stuff).
Thanks SO much, everyone, for your input! While there are some really nice compositions there, it´s still not quite what I am looking for. It´s either a bit too "haunted house"-like or too uptempo and "noisy". Hope this makes sense I know it´s very hard to describe a feeling or atmosphere in a song or soundscape – which is why I am using the TWD theme as reference. Please do keep the suggestions coming. Thanks!
hey! may by this you need http://audiojungle.net/item/cinematic-trailer-intro-4/6510072
How about this one?? I have a few ambient tracks that may work for you too…http://audiojungle.net/item/thunder-battle-march/6502304
Hello! Try this:http://audiojungle.net/item/march-of-the-dark-forces/4564385

Description: 0 0 A leaner, meaner, and altogether scarier entry in the Paranormal Activity horror franchise, Paranormal Activity 3 is a well-oiled scare machine that delivers the gut-wrenching shocks of the original 2007 film. Fans may initially groan over the plot, which takes the tried-and-true sequel tack of flashing back to the "origin" of the first film's phenomena; here, we discover that the diabolical entity that plagued sisters Katie and Kristi (Katie Featherston and Sprague Grayden, both of whom return in "found footage" clips) has been after the girls since their adolescent years in the late '80s.

The Jewish War by Josephus is the voluminous, detailed and scholarly report of the first century Jewish revolt against the Roman Empire. The war climaxed with the seige of Jerusalem, built up as it was by King Herod, as the single most beautiful and wonderfully rich city in history. Also one of the most heavily fortified large cities. None other match in fortifications times beauty times defences. The siege, resulting in the wholesale destruction of the most glorious temple, and the starvation of hundreds of thousands of the population (which was also undergoing two civil wars), is the single most bloody, inhumane and shocking thing I've ever read. To read of two armies of desperate bandits torturing their own populace (who were trying to surrender to the Romans), fighting each other, and continually refusing to surrender to the pleading Roman Emperor, Vespasian, despite all hope. Condemning the entire city to flame, blood and destruction and dooming all of it's inhabitants to starvation, the two occupying armies of Jerusalem caused the entire beautiful city to be lost. It's harrowing stuff, three chapters detail this final siege, page after page of descriptions of bodies in the streets, plague, disease, famine, internal fighting all while the Romans broke through the immense defences wall at a time. Retreting, wall at a time, to the upper city, then to the outer courts of the temple, then to the inner temple, and then to the sewers under the city, decimating all the populace for their food and fighting each other, the survivors had become soulless, unfeeling, brutal robots, driven by hunger and desperation and yet never surrendering to the Romans to save their own lives, save their city from destruction wall at a time, or to save their temple. The destruction of the Jewish temple in 70ce, previously only a footnote in my mind, is now horrifically clear. Fact and history is more terrifying than any horror ever wrote by any fiction author, no human psychological trauma in any hollywood movie or film matches the depths of the horror of ancient war and siege.

Gene tests do not cause distress: U.S. researchers
By Julie Steenhuysen
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Most people who used a commercially available genetic testing kit made by Navigenics were not traumatized by their results, as some critics had feared, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.
The results did not cause people to change their lifestyles through diet, exercise or other changes to reduce their risks either, said a team led by Dr. Eric Topol of the Scripps Translational Science Institute in San Diego, whose study appears in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"They did no harm and it's debatable about how much good they do," Topol said of the tests in a telephone interview.
The study is the first to look at the impact of these tests, and the findings address concerns that consumer genetic tests could distress people who learn they are at risk for diseases like Alzheimer's or diabetes.
In July, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said consumers may not know what to do with information from genetic tests taken without a doctor's guidance.
None of the tests sold to consumers were approved by the FDA, but the agency said last summer it was gearing up to regulate them. Companies that make the tests include Navigenics Inc, Pathway Genomics Corp, and 23andMe Inc, which is backed by Google Inc.
"These tests have been harshly criticized by the medical community and government agencies, but until now there were no data," Topol said in a statement.
His team studied 2,000 adults who took the Navigenics Health Compass, which looks for genes that raise the risk of more than 20 conditions such as diabetes, obesity, heart attack and some forms of cancer. Continued...

BRISTOL, R.I. – They may not have famous names or recognizable faces, but they're our neighbors, friends and family – and who we turn to when help is needed.
This year's Roger Williams University float marching in the Bristol Fourth of July Parade is dedicated to "Great American Heroes" – first-responders and members of the military. A collaborative tradition among orientation student staff and facilities staff, planning begins in March, with construction of the 38-foot-long float kicking into high gear by the end of May.
Featured along the sides are silhouettes of police officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, soldiers, sailors and more, adjacent to beautifully rendered seals identifying their branch. Atop the float, costumed students will wave to the crowd from among hand-built attractions like a Coast Guard helicopter (which facilities staff built from plywood and cardboard framing, filled in with spray foam, sanded and plastered – repairing dry cracks with automotive putty and more plaster – and shaped down again before giving it a paint job), a medic tent adorned with the iconic Red Cross, and a ladder propped against a tree to depict the classic firefighter rescue scene.
At an unveiling on campus Wednesday, students and staff got a sneak peek at the float, which makes its official debut at Friday's parade, and discussed the potential for the RWU float to capture the Best in Parade Award for a fourth year in a row.
Look for the Roger Williams float along the parade route, but first check out a few photos below from the unveiling.

The Civil War Story Of Vermont's Sleeping Sentinel
04/13/12 12:00PM By Bob Kinzel
| Download MP3
In the early 1860s, Private William Scott of Groton was a member of Company K of the Third Vermont Infantry. He found himself on the Civil War battlefields in Virginia. Serving on picket duty for the second night in succession (having voluntarily taken the place of a sick soldier), Private Scott fell asleep on his post. He was tried by court martial for his crime, was found guilty and sentenced to be shot. What followed was one of the most intriguing tales of the Civil War.
Civil War historian Howard Coffin relates the story of the Sleeping Sentinel and what was happening for Vermont's soldiers in the spring of 1862.He also discusses the Battle of Lee's Mill.
Post your questions or comments here about Vermont's involvement in the Civil War or email them to email@example.com.
Also on the program, VPR's John Dillon provides updates on the bills moving through the Vermont Legislature, the condenser leak at the Vermont Yankee plant and the proposed CVPS/Green Mountain Power merger.
Plus we listen back to the voices in the news this week.
