It's every glutton's paradise. Begin at High and I (that's Highbury and Islington to the uninitiated) and within five minutes you could be sitting down in front of a plate of juicy chicken, fresh off the spit.
A few strides takes you to the charming French bistro that opened earlier this year and, if you continue south you can peel off — just before the posh new fish-and-chip shop or the "multi-functional, multi-sensory pleasure palace" — to Canonbury Road for some peppered ox-cheek at Neil Rankin's latest outpost.
Further on, you could pop in to every yummy mummy's favourite deli-restaurant or a small tapas place, sip an Aperol spritz at a recently revamped cocktail bar, sample steak burritos or tacos from two rival Mexican joints and end up in Alan Yau's Bangkok Café.
That's not all; coming soon is Five Guys, that huge US burger chain that recently landed in Covent Garden and now has plans for an Islington launch.
I am, of course, describing Upper Street, recently nicknamed by one of the Evening Standard's writers — a High and I local of more than 20 years — as Supper Street because of the huge availability of new places to eat out there.
"Twenty years ago you couldn't get a decent coffee anywhere. It was all rundown buildings, greasy spoons and old-man pubs," she tells me. "Now you can't move for Babychinos and Innocent smoothies. I even saw the term 'Piebury Corner' in Vogue magazine the other day."
She thinks the changes began in 2002 with the opening of the N1 centre, which brought a Vue cinema, shops such as Gap, French Connection and Oasis, and restaurant chains like Itsu to the area. "When Wagamama opened, it all started getting a bit exciting," she laughs.
But what has driven restaurateurs to start up in this part of London? Last year, when the cocktail bar, dancehall and restaurant House of Wolf opened, property leasing agent Paul Tallentyre from Davis Coffer Lyons described it as a "vibrant Upper Street location".
Mark Selby, co-founder of Wahaca, who recently opened the Mexican group's ninth restaurant, agrees. "We had been looking for over a year in Islington and ideally wanted to be near the green, which we felt was the central hub of Islington life.
"Upper Street had in the past been taken over by some fairly weak operations. We felt that the opportunities to really invest in the street and slowly bring it up to be a place where quality restaurants and shops could shine was exciting."
Certainly for foodies, it is exciting indeed. And now you know on which street to find your supper tonight.

What is reconstructive facial surgery?Reconstructive facial surgery is a surgery performed on the face of a patient who suffers from some sort of deformity caused due to facial trauma from incidents like car accidents, natural birth conditions, conditions of facial bone deformity, or even soft tissue deformity. In addition, reconstructive facial surgery involves patients who have had cancer surgery which has resulted in some sort of facial deformity. Furthermore, this type of surgery is ideal for patients who suffer from scars and disfigurements which have been caused by some other facial surgery. For all of these conditions and situations, reconstructive facial surgery is the best answer.
Sometimes, when patients undergo various other facial surgeries, they are left with conditions like "Bell's Palsy" or different types of facial nerve injuries. As a result of such injuries, patients suffer from the partial drooping down of the face on one side. This is because the muscle of facial expression doesn't function normally as it did before. Patients who suffer from facial nerve injuries can suffer from droopy eyelids, droopy brows and even a completely droopy face.
All in all, due to nerve damage caused from various facial surgeries, patients can be left with an unaesthetic and asymmetrical facial appearance.
Similar to other surgeries, one of the most common complications following a reconstructive surgery is bleeding. However, with facial reconstructive surgeries, it is very uncommon.
One of the more serious complications following a reconstructive facial surgery is the lack of symmetry in the final result. In such a situation, the two sides of the face may not look perfectly similar causing an unaesthetic and undesirable appearance.
Surgical Location
Most plastic surgeons perform reconstructive facial surgeries in their own certified office operating room. Since some of these surgeries are fairly extensive, their duration can extend up to three to five hours. However, this surgery can be done as a complete outpatient procedure.

Tina R.
Dr. Kwan is by far the most talented surgeon I have EVER crossed paths with. I came to Dr. Kwan after an under eye fat transplant, performed 'by another' plastic surgeon, which deformed my face. It was only until I was under Dr.Kwan's care that the deformity was corrected. Dr. Kwan literally gave me back my beauty. This was a priceless feeling. That was about 4 years ago, I can assure you ever since- Dr. Kwan is the ONLY plastic surgeon I trust my face and body to. I look forward to my body contouring procedure coming up in a few weeks!! :)
Edmund Kwan, M.D.5
Mascha N.
The staff treated me very kindly, with respect and genuine smiles. Dr Kwan is a real professional in my opinion. He took the time to listen to my story, addressed my concerns and took his time to walk me through the process and give me his opinion and explanation on his recommendation. I had my surgery in his practice and we went over everything again before I met up with the anesthesiologist, who was equally as nice and professional as everyone else at his practice. We started counting bikes ... and after bike #6 I fell a sleep. When I woke up, he was there to tell me I did great and before I knew it I was in a taxi cab back home with my best friend who came to pick me up. So I don't know if this is typical, but I had no pain whatsoever after the surgery. . I am very very happy with the results. Dr Kwan did an amazing job and I couldn't be more pleased.
Edmund Kwan, M.D.5
Rocky P.
I was involved in an automobile accident last May, 2013. The outcome from the emergency room left me with 5 stitches on the bridge of my nose, and the tip of my nose was missing due to the severe impact of the accident. I called and scheduled an appointment to visit Dr. Kwan so he could assess my nose. Upon arriving to the office, I was immediately impressed with the facility, service, and professionalism of his staff. Dr. Kwan met with me and examined my nose and in detail, he explained the approach he would take in order to get my nose like brand new again.On the day of my surgery, I was met by Dr Kwan, who performed the surgery, himself. His Anesthesiologist was very informative and professional as well. The outcome of Phase 1 was a success. In addition to that, the staff even called my medication into the pharmacy that way it would be ready as soon as I left the office. My nose is 98% back to normal, I now look forward to Phase 2 to be completed. After that procedure is done I am positive my nose will look absolutely perfect and I will be back to my confident self again. Thanks Dr Kwan and Staff.
Edmund Kwan, M.D.5
Glenn C.
I have had several surgeries with Dr Kwan, and would recommend him highly. Liposuction of abdomen and love handles came out smooth. Upper eyelids look younger and refreshed, and the Basal Cell Cancer he cut out of my nose is not even visible, despite the fact that it was right along the rim of my left nostril.
Edmund Kwan, M.D.5
T. Cannon
I have been using Dr Kwan for over 10 years now. I have had many different procedures and all of them have turned out great. One of the breast augmentations had a crimp in the left breast and he had no problem going in to revise it to assure my satisfaction. I have always liked the way he answers each of my concerns and we go over everything for each procedure I've done several times to assure we are on the same page :) Take a list of any questions or concerns and I guarantee you will love your results no matter what procedure he is doing for you! .

The Forerunner 210 is one half of Garmin's duo of new GPS-enabled sport watches - the other being the high-end Garmin Forerunner 410. In contrast to its bigger and more complicated brother, Garmin says the Forerunner 210 is aimed at runners "who simply want to step outside, acquire satellites and start their workout."
Both watches are well-designed, looking more like regular timepieces than some sport watches. Polar Fitness monitors tend to look like an unimaginative child's science fiction doodle and the Timex Global Trainer looks like a stop watch awaiting the outcome of an IAAF investigation on banned substances.
The Forerunner 210 is a reasonably compact 4.5 x 6.9 x 1.4 cm, making it 3mm narrower than the 410 and 2mm thinner. It's significantly slimmer, and 12 grams lighter too at 52g. The display size is 2.5cm x 2.5cm, with a 52 X 30 pixel resolution, and is clear with excellent viewing angles and a bright user-activated backlight.
The slimmed-down dimensions do not hinder the operation of the watch during training - we found the buttons easy to operate and were relieved that it doesn't feature the 410's touch-sensitive bezel, of which we were slightly critical.
The Forerunner 210 feels secure on the wrist, and has a tooth under the band that keeps the strap in place. Unlike other models in the Forerunner range, the strap is integral to the watch's structure and is not user-replaceable. This worries us slightly as it means you're stuck with it if it gets torn or damaged. Garmin told us it had yet to encounter this problem, adding that it would replace any damaged devices within the 12 month warranty period "without question" and owners outside this period would have to pay a flat replacement fee of £78.29. While it's early days - the product was launched in October 2010 - we felt professionally bound to raise the point with the manufacturer.
I've had this watch for a while. I think its excellent as it hasnt got any gimics. One real downside though is that the warning for not being waterproof is serious, mine suffers from condensation under the screen which doesnt inspire confidence!
Roblpm - That's very interesting - this is where user feedback makes our reviews ever more useful. We don't get as much time with every product as we would like, and even though we test thoroughly in real-life situations,some emerge only after a few months. It's great that you have backed up our concerns.
Not so good for your Garmin, though. Have you tried the old trick of leaving it turned off in a sealed bag with a sachet of silica gel for three days? Failing than, people swear by leaving wet devices in a sealed container of uncooked rice for a couple of days.
I'm just starting out jogging and a product like this could be useful. When TR reviews a new product category i'd appreciate a buyers guide or a lay of the land. I have no idea what other products there are available that might do a similar/better/other job.
Useful functionality i can think of is GPS (something that links to map sites), MP3 player & running monitors (heart rate/number of steps?) but i wouldnt know what else is available.
I also have suffered with condensation and have had three watch changes, I am now having my last one returned to garmin with promised report as to why this watch suffers with misting, garmin need to look into this before the watch gets a bad name , if they can sort out this problem it would be a great item
They clearly haven't resolved this issue. I took delivery of a 210w this week. On my first trip out with it in the sunshine yesterday the middle of the face had steamed up within 30 minutes - completely obscuring the heart rate information.
Still problem with the watch.
Just bought it for the wife and the misting still occurs on the back of the glass makeing it unreadable.
My wife is not a happy bunny.
While Garmin still can not resolve this issue, my advice is do NOT buy it at all.
Watch under 2yrs old and my strap went today,four days before the Liverpool marathon! Also noticed condesation on display last week. May contact garmin and see what they can do with the strap, but dont fancy paying 78 quid! If thats the case then i will be making my own . All in all dissapointing as i do not consider this watch to be cheap. Have enjoyed using it and it has helped me to a few pbs but surely it should last longer than this!
I to have had problem with misting in my approach golf watch. It's been back twice and returned very quickly. It still misted up and on speaking to Garmin today they say it will do this for 10 minutes. I asked why my normal watch doesn't do it and the reply was because my normal watch is not waterproof.I beg to differ as it is a Seiko divers watch designed for professional diving( not a look alike)and is essential that it is waterproof !

When you're surrounded on all sides by a service economy, it can be easy to forget that stuff still actually needs to be built. Most of us rarely, if ever, deal with the actual manufacture of goods.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the service providing sector accounted for 79.9% of total employment in 2012, and the share is expected to edge up to 80.9% by 2022. Meanwhile, goods producing sectors (excluding agriculture) liked mining, construction, and manufacturing accounted for just 12.6% of total employment, and the share is expected to fall to 12.1 percent by 2022. Manufacturing itself (separated from mining and construction in the BLS data) employs just 8.2% of the total, and the share is expected to fall to 7.1% in 2022.
The "decline of U.S. manufacturing" captured by this data didn't so much catch people off guard as it simply rolled through the economy like a cannonball. The evaporation of demand caused by lower-cost competition from emerging industrial countries was unavoidable, and in a sense many jobs were simply exported. Total employment in manufacturing peaked near 20 million in 1979, about 22% of total employment at the time, according to the BLS. Since then, manufacturing employment has fallen to about 12.1 million.
But despite the dramatic decline in employment, total real manufacturing output has nearly recovered to its pre-crisis peak. Real manufacturing output per hour is up more than 13% since the pre-crisis peak and measures of manufacturing activity show accelerated growth across most major components of the sector. This suggests that the blow to U.S. manufacturing was real, but far from fatal. In fact, the blow may have ultimately made the sector stronger. Many of the companies that survived (and the few that thrived) are leaner, savvier, and more innovative relative to the rest of the world than they were 10 or 15 years ago.
Here are a couple of reasons why things are looking up for U.S. manufacturing.

Top 10 Grossing Films in the UK 2012
If you went to the cinema in 2012 the likelihood is that you saw a sequel, prequel or reboot at some point. They dominated the box office in 2012. But what film came out on top?
Unsurprisingly, highly anticipated sequels, prequels and reboots dominated the UK box office in 2012.
While the iconic characters from Marvel and DC Comics dominated the market, it was Great Britain's own "superhero" James Bond who won the race to the top. Skyfall, the twenty-third James Bond film, was the most financially successful film of the year in the UK, breaking records on these shores and internationally.
Other strong performers this year include Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises and Joss Whedon's Avengers Assemble.
We've just launched our Facebook page – check it out here
10. The Hunger Games (£23.6m / $38.1m)
The hype surrounding "teen-centric" novels off the back of the success of the Twilight series meant The Hunger Games was always likely to be successful. The dark subject matter and a talented Jennifer Lawrence also helped the film gain notoriety. Read our reviews of the film by Chris Wharfe & Rob Keeling
Learn more about Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games
9. Prometheus (£24.7m / $39.8m)
The highly anticipated Prometheus suffered from the huge expectation that followed director Ridley Scott's return to the Alien series he started in 1979. The film confused some, disappointed others but still managed to achieve a decent box office return. Read my review / Chris Wharfe's review
Prometheories: Guide to Prometheus
8. The Amazing Spider-Man (£25.5m / $41.4m)
"Reboots" are the new "sequel" in Hollywood and Spider-Man received another re-imagining in 2012. The film was generally considered a disappointment and its box office return in both the UK and US was way below rivals such as Avengers Assemble and The Dark Knight Rises
7. Ted (£29.8 / $48.4m)
One of the year's biggest hits was Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane's feature film directorial debut. The talented MacFarlane also provides the voice for Ted.
Seth Macfarlane's Ted invades London
6. Ice Age: Continental Drift (£30m / $48.7m)
The fourth Ice Age film was an instant hit in the UK. Although it made over $150 million in the US, it was outside the top 10 highest grossing films of 2012. In the UK its £30 million box office return puts it sixth on the list.
5. Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (£35.4m / $57.5m)
A sequel to one of the most popular franchises of recent years, an adaptation of a popular teen novel, and featuring the hottest couple in Hollywood (Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart), Twilight's concluding cinematic chapter was always going to be a hit. Perhaps its final box office return could be considered slightly disappointing given The Hobbit was able to beat it despite arriving at the end of the year and enjoying less time in cinemas.
4. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (£35.8 / $58.1m)
Peter Jackson's return to the Lord of the Rings world was highly anticipated, not least because of its use of new camera technology allowing Jackson to film at 48 frames per second (as opposed to the traditional frame rate of 24). Reviews of both the film and the frame rate were mixed but its box office return in the UK and the US has been strong.

3. Avengers Assemble (£51.6m / $83.8m)
In 2012, there were three films that dominated box office takings. The first of these is Avengers Assemble, which featured some of Marvel's iconic superheroes teaming together in one movie. The film was almost guaranteed success given that it acted as a sequel-of-sorts to a number of films such as Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor. Interestingly, the film didn't play as well in the UK as it did in the US where it dominated the box office, earning $150 million more than its nearest rival.
2. The Dark Knight Rises (£56.2m / $91.3m)
Another hugely anticipated sequel, this time from acclaimed writer-director Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight Rises might not have lived up to the hype generated after the brilliant The Dark Knight but was still one of the best films of 2012.

1. Skyfall (£100.4m / $162.5m)
The UK took to its favourite "superhero" like a duck to water. Skyfall broke box office records all over the world. Its $1 billion worldwide return make it the highest-grossing film for Sony Pictures. Its staggering success in 2012 means it is currently the 14th highest grossing film of all time. In the UK, Skyfall grossed £20.1 million on its opening weekend – the only film to better this return was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. By the end of the year it was the first film to break £100 million in the UK.

Glad to see the top 2 are in my top 10 of the year! Would be curious to see the top 10 most profitable!
January 3, 2013 at 10:48 pm
Not surprised at all to see Skyfall at #1 and rightly so. A lot of movies in my top 10 of the year also made the list.
January 4, 2013 at 9:39 am
It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside knowing that Skyfall was the biggest film for the UK box office. 😀
January 4, 2013 at 2:58 pm
Sometimes you guys really make me wonder if I'd fit in better as a moviegoer if I lived in the UK. I enjoy the majority of the films that made this list and don't feel like any of them are too pretentious. Not surprised that Bond topped the box office in the UK. His win is well-deserved since Skyfall is such a great entry in the franchise. Personally my favorite film in the mix is The Avengers (aka Avengers Assemble), which I enjoyed more than Nolan's Dark Knight Rises. Although I'm thinking Nolan carries more box office clout there considering it's his home turf. Overall I was happy with 2012 as a year for movies and I'm interested to see what 2013 brings.

I don't see how Breaking Dawn 2 is disappointing at all. Hobbit had IMAX and 3D so that inflates the gross immensely. And 57.5 mill in the bank, it easily surpasses all other grosses of the series.
BD1: 48.8 mill
Eclipse: 45.7
So it did much better than it's predecessors. So, no offense, but how exactly is it disappointing?
January 4, 2013 at 8:47 pm
@Dan: …disappointing in the sense that it not only had a ready-made audience but followed-on directly from a previous story (expectation) and concluded a franchise. I'm not saying its box office return was poor but, like I mentioned, it could be considered disappointing given it was bumped from 4th by a film that had only been out for about three weeks.

No surprise there!! Bond has got to be number 1 in UK 😉

'The Moral High Ground': Rainforest Action Network Activists Turn Every San Francisco Bank of America ATM into 'Truth Machines'
It was a bold piece of direct action, a well-orchestrated overnight campaign to spread the truth about Bank of America. When it was all over, some 85 BofA ATMs all over San Francisco, from Fishermen's Wharf all the way down to Cayuga Terrace, had been converted, at least temporarily, into 'truth machines.'
It was the work of the fine men and women of the Rainforest Action Network (RAN), a group that usually concerns itself with, well, saving earth's rain forests. RAN activists claim they hit every single BofA ATM in the city, plastering their screens with non-adhesive stickers modeled on the bank's ATM menu. Instead of withdrawals, deposits and bill paying, RAN's menus "offered a list of everything BoA customers' money is being used for, including investment in coal-fired power plants, foreclosure on Americans' homes, bankrolling of climate change, and paying for fat executive bonuses."
SFist reports that last night's action was part of RAN's new Tumblr, BankruptingAmerica.tumblr.com, which will "track all the ways BoA is bankrupting America, hence the name."
Bank of America, with 5,900 branches and 18,000 ATMs in the United States, reported a profit of $6.2 billion in the third quarter of 2011. Still, it hasn't been easy going for the banking giant lately, as many customers vented their outrage over a proposed $5 debit card usage fee that the bank dropped due to public anger. Customers are more likely to leave Bank of America than any other bank, and many are turning to community banks or credit unions for their banking needs. Here's how you can do likewise.

Citation: Liu, X.J., Mosier, A.R., Halvorson, A.D., Zhang, F.S. 2005. Tillage and nitrogen application effects on nitrous and nitric oxide emissions from irrigated corn fields. Plant and Soil Journal. 276:235-249. Interpretive Summary: Agricultural soils are sources and sinks for the atmospheric greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) and the atmospheric oxidant nitric oxide (NO). Soil management through tillage and fertilization potentially can play an important role in minimizing the emission of these gases from the soil to the atmosphere. The influence of tillage and fertilizer application rate on N2O and NO were investigated in a field study during a two year period. Generally, no-till (NT) reduced NO emissions significantly but did not affect N2O emissions compared with conventional tillage (CT) when averaged over two corn seasons. N2O and NO emissions increased linearly with N application rate under both CT and NT. Change of climate and soil conditions (e.g. moist and temperature) explained the emission patterns of N2O and NO as well as their emission ratios under different tillage systems and in different years. Results reveal potential of NT to reduce NO emission without increasing in N2O emission under continuous irrigated corn cropping compared to CT.
Technical Abstract: A 2-yr study was conducted to investigate the potential of no-till cropping systems to reduce N2O and NO emissions under different N application rates in an irrigated cornfield in northeastern Colorado. Flux measurements were begun in the spring of 2003, using vented (N2O) and dynamic (NO) chambers, one to three times per week, year round, within plots that were cropped continuously to corn (Zea mays L.) under conventional-till (CT) and no-till (NT). Plots were fertilized at planting in late April with rates of 0, 134 and 224 kg N ha-1 and corn was harvested in late October or early November each year. N2O and NO fluxes increased linearly with N application rate in both years. Compared with CT, NT significantly reduced emissions of N2O in 2003 and NO in both years but did not significantly affect emission of N2O in 2004. In 2003 and 2004 corn growing seasons, the increase in N2O-N emitted per kg ha-1 of fertilizer N added was 14.5 and 4.1 g ha-1 for CT, and 11.2 and 5.5 g ha-1 for NT, respectively. However, the increase in NO-N emitted per kg ha-1 of fertilizer N added was only 3.6 and 7.4 g ha-1 for CT and 1.6 and 2.0 g ha-1 for NT in 2003 and 2004, respectively. In the fallow season (November 2003 to April 2004), much greater N2O (2.0-3.1 times) and NO (13.1-16.8 times) were emitted from CT than from NT although previous N application did not show obvious carry-over effect on both gas emissions. Results reveal that NT has potential to reduce NO emission without an increase in N2O emission under continuous irrigated corn cropping compared to CT.

Great Value 02/14/2014
This review is from: Nokia Lumia 521 (T-Mobile) 4G Dual-Core 1.0GHz Windows 8 OS Cell Phone Bundle with iLuv Portable Speaker Case & hypercel Car Charger
Very high "bang for the buck" when bought in a Newegg saver bundle. Does almost everything a phone costing 4X as much does, and very well overall. It is very responsive and doesn't feel "laggy". Build quality seems very good for this price point. I dropped it once on a hard floor and it survived without damage. Touchscreen is very good, sensitivity neither too low nor too high (selectable between 2 levels). Immediately accepted, and knew what to do with, an SD card; no problem there. It's VERY nice that you can easily take the back off and remove/replace the battery, SIM card, and SD card.
Really none considering the price.
The only significant feature "missing" is a front camera, so that video chat (Skype) is not much good. But of course I knew that before buying. The rear camera is good/adequate, but not outstanding as on some of the pricier Nokia models.
Other Thoughts:
Basically the phone does everything sort of transparently, user satisfaction will most likely be determined by:
> Windows OS. Some will like it and some (primarily extreme ios or Android freaks) may not. Personally I think it is fine and like some of the unique features such as the active tiles on the home page. If you cannot live without thousands of obscure apps and games, then Windows may not be for you, at least not yet.
> Provider Network. The only communication issue I've had resulted from a quirk in the network service (which their Help center immediately took care of) and had nothing to do with the phone itself.
In summary, the phone just works, and the only things you will get by paying more will be a little more speed, or enhanced bells/whistles such as a front camera or a more capable rear camera.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "unreadable" in this context. I
suspect that the anomalous behavior that you're seeing is a known
problem. Refer to the Technical Support FAQ page for more information.
If that does not fix the problem, you may want to contact the support

For some reason, I have some kids who've decided that black is the lucky color for a baton, and this was the only one I could find on short notice. It's fine--standard dimensions and weight, reasonable finish--but I could really do without the port-a-pit logo that is rather sloppily spray-painted on with a stencil.

Exotica of WWIII: Khan Neshin Kuchi Quroot
Kuchis are Pashtun nomads who formerly sold ghee and quroot (dried and reconstituted yoghurt) all over Afghanistan, and although their more or less unalterable way of life over thousands of years might have entitled them to some such Sunday-supplement description as "tribes that time forgot" as recently as 40 years ago, now they have leaped or been thrown so far forward that they already dwell in the future that awaits us all: climactic instability and endless war.
The Kuchi's lifestyle has been eroded both by long-term changes associated with "modernization" and by devastating short-term events, like the droughts of 1971/2 and 1998/2002, and the wars of the 80s, 90s and today.
Their population was estimated at 2 – 2.5 million in the 60s, 70s and early 80s, but has shrunk to 1.3 – 1.5 million today according to a recent study by the UN's World Food Program.
Roads, drought, landmines, Russian bombing, U.S. cluster bombs, and war-related impoverishment have all played a role in this halving of the Kuchi population.
But in spite of so many misfortunes a few Kuchis families still wander across the plains of Helmand Province, and even along the salty banks of the Helmand River near Khan Neshin, now observed from long-range camera towers by US Marines, assigned to shut down the many unmarked trails that lead across the desert from Pakistan into Helmand Province.
"We have to get down to the border. We have to establish a legal border crossing point, so that if you try to bypass it, it becomes an illegal activity," says Lt. Col. Michael Martin, the commanding officer in charge of 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion in the Khan Neshin area. "You start to squeeze off the insurgency's ability to resupply itself."
Unfortunately for the Kuchis, "squeezing off" the insurgency also means "squeezing off" anybody else engaged in the "illegal activity" of crossing the plains of Helmand anywhere except at a crossing-point authorized under the ad hoc "authority" of crazy foreign devils who have absolutely no fucking clue about who's a Pushtun Kuchi and who's a Pushtun Taliban traveling with a Kuchi caravan.
Kuchi encampments have been raided by U.S. troops, e.g., on January 25, 2002, thirty U.S. soldiers backed up by jets and helicopters descended upon a 100 tent camp in the Bak district 28 kms. north of Khost. And then on September 18, 2003, U.S. Apache attack helicopters fired upon "a tent" in the Naubahar district of Zabul. Tribesman Haji Lawang said five women and four children were killed and six people were wounded. The U.S. military said it was investigating reports of "noncombatant casualties."
And that very old news from 2002 and 2003 about US massacres of hapless Kuchi nomads was only the beginning of so many nauseatingly similar stories from 2004 and 2005 and 2006 and 2007 and 2008 and 2009…

Hilton Head Island, S.C. • Kevin Streelman looks ready to make contending at PGA Tour events a habit, while Brandt Snedeker was poised for an early exit at the RBC Heritage in the rain-delayed second round Friday.
Streelman, who won his first tour title last month at the Tampa Bay Championships, shot a 1-under 70 before the wind picked up at Harbour Town Golf Links. He was tied at 6 under with Charley Hoffman and 34-year-old rookie Steve LeBrun.
Hoffman, like Streelman, followed an opening 66 with a 70. LeBrun shot his second straight 68.
Luke Donald and Bill Haas were a stroke back. Donald had a 68, and Haas shot 69.
The biggest surprise was Snedeker, at No. 5 the highest-ranked player in the field. Days after leading the Masters on Sunday before faltering, the 2011 Harbour Town winner opened with a 73 and had a 71 Friday to finish at 2 over one over the projected cut line.
Seventeen players were unable to finish. The rain was forecast to continue overnight before the front moves out to sea and brings cooler temperatures but no rain.
Streelman had three birdies in his first four holes. He added a final birdie on the par-5 15th and parred out to move on top and put himself in contention on the tricky, narrow fairways and small greens of Harbour Town.
Champions Tour
In Duluth, Ga., Bart Bryant and David Frost topped the first-round leaderboard Friday in the Champions Tour's rain-delayed Greater Gwinnett Championship. The start of play was delayed four hours by rain. There were 57 players still on the TPC Sugarloaf course when the round was suspended because of darkness. Bryant completed a 4-under 68, and Frost was 4 under with five holes left.
LPGA Tour
In Kapolei, Hawaii, Suzann Pettersen shot a 4-under 68 at wind-swept Ko Olina to maintain a one-stroke lead after the third round of the LPGA Lotte Championship. The 32-year-old Norwegian, a 10-time LPGA Tour winner, had a 14-under 202 total. South Korea's Hee Kyung Seo was second after a 66. Defending champion Ai Miyazato was third at 11 under after a 70.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Yes, the IRS will apply any refund for this year to your unpaid balance from a prior year.
The good news is that will reduce the amount that you owe.
This may not be what you would have liked to hear; but at least now you know.
If possible you could reduce withholding or other payments to the IRS during the year to let you use the money rather that being part of a refund that is kept by them.
Please ask if you need clarification.
Thank you.
Hello again,
There is a situation in which, perhaps, the refund would not be kept (which another expert commented to me about).
If it was not a joint return in the year for which the amount is past due; but that unpaid tax is only for your spouse's unpaid tax then you may be able to avoid having your paid in tax for this year being applied to your spouse's past due tax by using Form 8379 and the IRS will determine the Injured Spouse Allocation.
I hope this helps.
Thank you

Carnivorous Plant Solar Lamps Glow In City Streets
Designed by artist Dan Corson, the street lamps are inspired by the meat-eating vegetation.
In Portland, Oregon there are a few city street lamps that are far from your typical metal and light bulb structures. Named the Nepenthes, the plant-looking street lamps collects solar energy during the daytime and glow in different colors at night.
Designed by artist Dan Corson, the street lamps were inspired by and named after a family of carnivorous plants. Each lamp has its own solar cells that take in solar power during the day and allows the lamp to glow for up to four hours after they turn on at night.
This unique project was funded by TRIMET and administrated by the Regional Arts and Culture Council of Portland (RACC).

Skin Cancer Awareness: More Than Melanoma
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- It's the most common cancer in the United States.
There are more than 3.5 million skin cancers diagnosed every year. Chances are you've heard about melanoma, but you may not know as much about the most common skin cancers that can cause their own problems.
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and advances in screening and treatment can lead to better results in the long run.
Gerald Findley of Gainesville has been dealing with skin cancer for more than 50 years. The 81-year-old spent many summers in the gulf sun before wearing sunscreen was even an option.
"I just got cooked," he says.
It's no surprise then that Findley has struggled with several instances of squamous cell carcinoma.
"There is basal cell skin cancer, which happens to be the most common cancer of anything in the entire world," says Dermatologist Miranda Whitmer, "There's squamous cell cancer, and the most deadly of all skin cancers is melanoma, those are the three main types,"
While BCC and SCC are nowhere near as deadly as melanoma, they are still a problem. BCC is rarely fatal, but can be disfiguring if it isn't treated. It's estimated that as many as 8,000 people died from SCC in 2012.
"If you let the squamous cell carcinoma progress, it can spread to the original lymphatics, and it could spread distantly also," Dr. Christopher Balamucki, a radiation oncologist at North Florida Regional Medical Center, explains.
While Findley was proactive in treating his cancer, he has been treating it for a long time.
"We'd get 4 or 5 all the time, and they come back," Findley says.
After years of other treatments - even going so far as two skin graphs - Findley turned to radiation.
Findley sought treatment with Dr. Balamucki at North Florida Regional Medical'S Cancer Center.
"I treat a lot of skin cancer in the head and neck region, and it's where the surgery can cause either a functional or cosmetic outcome that's undesirable," Balamucki says.
Fitted with a special lead helmet to protect his healthy skin, Findley underwent 6 and a half weeks of radiation therapy on his forehead where squamous cell carcinoma was recurring. Several months out, that skin is cancer-free.
Findley says he now uses sunblock all the time. Balamucki says even with other surgical treatments, radiation therapy is often used to prevent any leftover cancer cells from spreading.

Following the loss of the 116 manuscript pages, the Prophet lost the power to translate. Following a period of humble prayer and repentance, the plates and the Urim and Thummim were returned to Joseph. The Lord commanded Joseph not to retranslate the portion of the plates corresponding to the lost 116 pages, and He revealed Satan's plot to destroy the work of God. The Lord then commanded Joseph Smith to translate the small plates of Nephi. He also explained the purpose of the Book of Mormon and its role in establishing His Church.
Suggestions for Teaching
Doctrine and Covenants 10:1–4
The Lord restores Joseph's gift to translate
Ask students to briefly review what they learned from the previous lesson about the loss of the 116 manuscript pages (see D&C 3). Remind students that because of the Prophet's repeated requests to allow Martin Harris to take the manuscript pages and the subsequent loss of those pages, Moroni took the gold plates and the Urim and Thummim from Joseph Smith.
Moroni later returned the plates and the Urim and Thummim. Sometime after their return, Joseph Smith received the revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 10. In this revelation, the Lord instructed Joseph regarding what to do with the portion of the plates from which the lost manuscript came. (See Lucy Mack Smith, History of Joseph Smith by His Mother, ed. Preston Nibley [1958], 133–36.)
Summarize Doctrine and Covenants 10:1–2 by explaining that the Lord reminded Joseph why the power to translate had been taken from him and what happened as a result of his mistake. Invite a student to read Doctrine and Covenants 10:3–4. Ask the class to follow along, looking for counsel the Lord gave as Joseph Smith began to translate again. Ask students to report what they find.
Why do you think Joseph Smith needed to be counseled not to labor or to translate more than he had strength?
How can the counsel in Doctrine and Covenants 10:4 guide us as we serve the Lord?
Doctrine and Covenants 10:5–37
The Lord warns of Satan's plans to destroy Joseph Smith and the work of God
Display a snare or trap (or draw a picture of one on the board).
How could a device like this represent Satan's intentions toward us?
Ask a student to read Doctrine and Covenants 10:5 aloud. Invite the class to look for what the Lord commanded the Prophet Joseph Smith to do in order to escape Satan.
What can we learn from this verse? (Students may identify a variety of principles, but be sure to emphasize that as we pray always, we will have power to overcome Satan and those who serve him. Consider writing this principle on the board.)
How can prayer help us to "conquer Satan, and … escape [those who] uphold his work"?
Invite a few students to share examples of how prayer has helped them resist Satan's temptations. (Remind students that they should not share experiences that are too personal or private.)
Explain that the Lord warned Joseph of a trap Satan had set to try to destroy the Prophet and the work of God. Invite several students to take turns reading aloud from Doctrine and Covenants 10:8–19. Ask the class to follow along and identify the plan of the wicked individuals who were then in possession of the manuscript.
What was the plan of the wicked individuals who had the manuscript? (To discredit the Prophet and the work of the Lord by altering the words of the manuscript. If Joseph had translated the same material again, they would have said that he was unable to do it the same way twice and therefore had no gift.)
Hold up the trap or snare you displayed previously (or refer to the drawing on the board). Explain that in Doctrine and Covenants 10:20–29 the Lord speaks about Satan's influence on the wicked people who obtained the 116 pages of manuscript and how Satan accomplishes his wicked purposes. Divide the class into pairs. Ask one student in each pair to read Doctrine and Covenants 10:20–29 silently, looking for what these verses teach about Satan's aims. Ask the other student to read the same verses, looking for the strategies Satan uses to accomplish his aims. After sufficient time, invite students to share what they have discovered with their partners.
What do we learn from these verses about Satan's purposes? (Students may discover a variety of principles, but be sure they identify the following truth: Satan desires to destroy the work of the Lord and our souls. You may want to write this truth on the board. You might also suggest that students mark the words and phrases that teach this truth in verses 22–23 and 27.)
From what you read in these verses, how does Satan seek to destroy the work of the Lord and our souls?
To help students understand and feel the importance of this truth, ask the following questions. Invite the pairs to discuss their answers.
What evidence have you seen that Satan uses deception, anger, flattery, and lying to destroy the work of the Lord and our souls?
How can being aware of Satan's intentions and methods help us avoid and escape his traps?
Invite students to spend a few minutes writing in their class notebooks or scripture study journals about methods of the adversary listed in Doctrine and Covenants 10:20–29 that they have felt or seen. Also ask them to write about what they can do to avoid or escape Satan's traps.
After students have had sufficient time to write, summarize Doctrine and Covenants 10:30–37 by explaining that because of wicked people's plans to destroy the work of God and Joseph Smith's reputation, the Lord commanded Joseph not to retranslate the portion of the plates from which the lost 116 pages had been translated.
Doctrine and Covenants 10:38–45
The Lord commands Joseph Smith to translate the small plates of Nephi
Invite a few students to take turns reading aloud from Doctrine and Covenants 10:38–42. Ask the class to look for what the Lord commanded Joseph to translate instead of having him retranslate the portion of the plates from which the lost 116 pages had been translated.
What did the Lord command Joseph to translate? Why?
Help students understand how the Lord had prepared for the loss of the 116 manuscript pages. Explain that the lost document contained the translation of the book of Lehi, which was in Mormon's abridgment of the large plates of Nephi. Mormon had been inspired to attach the small plates of Nephi to his record for "a wise purpose," which at the time he did not understand (see Words of Mormon 1:3–7). The small plates of Nephi covered approximately the same time period as the book of Lehi. After the loss of the 116 pages, the Lord commanded the Prophet Joseph Smith to translate the material from the small plates of Nephi.
Invite students to read Doctrine and Covenants 10:43 silently and look for an important truth the Lord wanted Joseph Smith to understand. (As students share their ideas, write the following truth on the board: The wisdom of God is greater than the cunning of the devil. You may need to explain that cunning refers to the use of tricks to deceive people.)
How does the Lord's plan to replace the lost manuscript illustrate this truth?
Invite students to read Doctrine and Covenants 10:44–45 silently, looking for evidence of the truth in verse 43.
According to Doctrine and Covenants 10:44–45, why are the small plates of Nephi of greater worth than what was lost with the 116 manuscript pages?
How does knowing that God prepared a way to compensate for the 116 lost manuscript pages help you more fully trust Him?
Doctrine and Covenants 10:46–70
The Lord explains the purpose of the Book of Mormon and its role in establishing His Church
Summarize Doctrine and Covenants 10:46–61 by explaining that in these verses the Lord testified that He answered the prayers of His Nephite disciples by preserving and bringing forth the Book of Mormon in our day.
Invite a student to read Doctrine and Covenants 10:62–63 aloud. Ask the class to follow along, looking for what the Lord said that the Book of Mormon would bring to light.
What will the Book of Mormon bring to light? (The true points of Jesus Christ's doctrine.)
According to verse 63, how will the Lord use the true points of His doctrine to overcome the work of Satan?
Invite a student to read aloud the Lord's concluding promise in Doctrine and Covenants 10:67, 69–70. Ask students to follow along and note phrases that are meaningful to them in light of what they have learned today. Invite students to share which phrases are meaningful to them and why. Conclude with your testimony.
Scripture Mastery—Doctrine and Covenants 10:5
Divide the class into multiple teams (two or more students per team). This activity will work best if each team is sitting in a row. Ensure that each student has a piece of paper and something to write with and that students' scriptures are open to Doctrine and Covenants 10:5. Instruct the students that when you say "go," they are to begin copying the scripture mastery passage on their papers. When you say "pass," they are to finish the word they are writing and then pass their paper to the team member next to them (the last person in the row will need to walk his or her paper to the first person in the row). When they receive the papers from their teammates, they should continue writing the passage where their teammates left off. Each time you say "pass," students once again pass their papers to their teammates. The first team to have the complete passage written on every teammate's paper wins. (You may want to emphasize that the passage must be legible.)
Repeat this activity a few times. Each time students complete the activity, they will become more familiar with this scripture mastery passage. At the end of the activity, you might ask for volunteers to recite the passage from memory.
Note: Because of the length of this lesson, you may want to use this activity on another day, when you have more time.
Commentary and Background Information
Doctrine and Covenants 10:45. "Greater views upon my gospel"
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught that the Lord's "wise purpose" (see 1 Nephi 9:5; Words of Mormon 1:7) for commanding the writing and preserving of the small plates of Nephi went beyond compensating for the loss of the 116 pages of manuscript:
"It strikes me that there is a wiser purpose than that [compensating for the loss of the 116 pages], or, more accurately, a wiser purpose in that. The key to such a suggestion of a wiser purpose is in verse 45 of Doctrine and Covenants section 10. As the Lord instructs Joseph on the procedure for translating and inserting the material from the small plates into what had been begun as the translation of the abridged large plates, he says, 'Behold, there are many things engraven upon the [small] plates of Nephi which do throw greater views upon my gospel' (emphasis added).
"So, clearly, this was not a quid pro quo in the development of the final Book of Mormon product. It was not tit for tat, this for that—you give me 116 pages of manuscript and I'll give you 142 pages of printed text. Not so. We got back more than we lost. And it was known from the beginning that it would be so. It was for a wiser purpose. We do not know exactly what we missed in the 116 pages, but we do know that what we received on the small plates was the personal declarations of three great witnesses, three of the great doctrinal voices of the Book of Mormon, testifying that Jesus is the Christ. …
"My, how we wish we had all of those plain and precious testimonies which have been stripped from the Biblical record. But at least as readers of the Book of Mormon, we have Nephi, Jacob, and Isaiah to speak to us immediately as personal eye-witnesses of the premortal Savior. They are recipients of marvelous revelations regarding his life and ministry and of God's covenant relationship with the House of Israel, ancient and modern. …
"I think it would be exciting if the 116 pages of manuscript turned up some day, but if they were delivered to my office tomorrow I would never trade them for the material in the small plates of Nephi, for the 'greater views' given through the great prophetic sentinels who stand at the gate of the book. So tell your students to stop complaining and get reading—including Isaiah" ("A Standard unto My People" [address to CES religious educators, Aug. 9, 1994], 7–9, LDS.org).
Doctrine and Covenants 10:38–45. The book of Lehi
In the preface to the first edition of the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith described the source from which the lost 116 manuscript pages were translated: "I [Joseph Smith] translated, by the gift and power of God, and caused to be written, one hundred and sixteen pages, the which I took from the Book of Lehi, which was an account abridged from the plates of Lehi, by the hand of Mormon; which said account, some person or persons have stolen and kept from me, notwithstanding my utmost exertions to recover it again" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 63).
Supplemental Teaching Ideas
Doctrine and Covenants 10:43. Video presentation—"The Work of God"
The video presentation "The Work of God" tells the story of Martin Harris and the 116 lost manuscript pages. It is available on the Doctrine and Covenants and Church History Visual Resource DVDs and on LDS.org. Consider showing the video after students have learned from Doctrine and Covenants 10:43 that the wisdom of God is greater than the cunning of the devil. It can serve as a summary of what students have learned in Doctrine and Covenants 3 and 10, helping students understand how Mormon's inclusion of the small plates of Nephi demonstrates the wisdom of God.
Doctrine and Covenants 10:46–68. Purposes of the Book of Mormon
In addition to summarizing Doctrine and Covenants 10:46–68 in the lesson, invite students to read Doctrine and Covenants 10:57–68 silently. Ask them to look for purposes of the Book of Mormon. For instance, we learn that the Book of Mormon brings to light the true doctrines of the Savior (see D&C 10:62) and that the Book of Mormon establishes His gospel "that there may not be so much contention" (D&C 10:63). Invite students to tell about times when they have seen some of these purposes of the Book of Mormon realized in their lives or in the lives of people they know.

Arts-based research in design education
Franz, Jill M. (2005) Arts-based research in design education. In AQR Conference, 13-16 July, Melbourne.
|PDF (194kB)
There is an urgent need in terms of changing world conditions to move beyond the dualist paradigm that has traditionally informed design research, education and practice. Rather than attempt to reduce uncertainty, novelty and complexity as is the conventional approach, an argument is presented in this paper that seeks to exploit these qualities through a reconceptualisation of design in creative as well as systematic, rigorous and ethical terms. Arts-based research which 'brings together the systematic and rigorous qualities of inquiry with the creative and imaginative qualities of the arts' is presented as being central to this reconceptualisation. This is exemplified in the application of art-informed inquiry in a research unit for graduating tertiary level interior design students. The application is described in this paper and is shown to rely substantially on the image and its capacity to open up and reveal new possibilities and meaning.

Comments about C2G Single Gang Wall Box - White:
This product is great because it is a single box that doesn't dismount from the back plate screwed into the wall like the leviton wall boxes. Only problem I have with them is some of the screwholes either are to tight or misthreaded and it ends up snapping the screws before I can get it even half way through for the face plates. Seems like its always the bottom screw hole that does it. Other wise, nice and durable.

Google I/O is largely aimed at developers of Google's various ecosystems, including Android and Chrome. The meetings have achieved greater notoriety the last few years as Google has given away some pretty sweet goodies to attendees, and often makes big announcements during the keynote addresses. Last year the Android keynote unveiled Google Music (Beta), the Android@home initiative (which we expect to hear more about this year), and revealed the name and logo of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
If you missed out on a ticket this morning you can still watch the keynotes online – they are streamed live. Even the developer sessions that follow are available to watch online, although you have to wait a short time before they are posted. If you are still desperate to pick up a seat at I/O, you'll need to watch the eBays and Craig's Lists of the world…and be prepared to spend a significant premium for the privilege.
Meanwhile, for those of you without the time to attend or even watch a couple hours of Googlers talking to you, PA will be reporting on whatever newsworthy topics come up. Just tune in here June 27th-29th, and we promise to provide whatever mobile news emanates from Google's developer meeting this year.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
Comfort Level - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
