Lord Marlesford: My Lords, since the noble Lord mentions inflation, perhaps he should remind us that under the previous Labour government inflation reached 25 per cent in a year. One of the major achievements of the Conservative government was to set us on a course of low inflation, with which, I am glad to say, this Government have continued.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, I accepted the challenge set by the noble Lord, Lord Marlesford, to contrast the performance of this Government with
On public finances, based on the most cautious assumption, we are on track to meet the fiscal rules that we have set ourselves over the cycle. Public sector net debt is expected to stabilise at 34 per cent of GDP. We have increased investment in industry and business. Inward investment in this country is 639 billion dollars, the second highest after the United States.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, I shall not get very far at this rate.
Baroness O'Cathain: My Lords, I think that the noble Lord will, actually. I thank him for giving way; however, he is being a little unfair. I ended my speech by saying that we had one of the strongest economies, and one of the better industrial bases, in the world. We acknowledge all that. There has been huge acknowledgement by the noble Lord, Lord Newby, of the achievements. In this debate, all I want is to ensure that it continues.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, that is very noble. I am glad that party politics in this superior Chamber are dead.
I shall recite the facts, as it is necessary to do so. Between 1979 and 1996, business investment in this country grew by 3.3 per cent; by contrast, between 1997 and 2002, it has grown by nearly 6 per cent. In 2002, business investment in this country was 27 per cent higher than in 1997.
I am being discouraged from repeating the triumphs of this Government. I shall accept that discouragement and move to the specific criticisms expressed in the debate.
Lord McNally: My Lords, I wish to discourage the Minister from reading the speech that he wrote for a debate that did not take place, and ask him to answer the debate that took place.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, that debate ought to have taken place. I shall respond to the cursory criticisms expressed. The noble Lord, Lord Newby, mentioned our forecasting record. References were made to the OECD report published today. The report states:
As regards the quality of our forecasting, since 1997 Treasury growth forecasts have, on average, equalled or outperformed independent consensus forecasts for both current and year-ahead forecasts. Our forecasts have also outperformed those from prestigious organisations such as the OECD, the IMF, the European Commission and the National Institute of Economic and Social Research.
Noble Lords on all sides of the House asked about the problem of government borrowing. I wish to respond to the noble Lord, Lord Tomlinson, in particular, who claimed that particularly high government borrowing would affect interest rates. Due to our participation in global capital markets, the relationship between government borrowing and short-term interest rates, at any rate, which used to be very close, is much weaker than it was. The proper comparison is to be made with long-term interest rates. The Japanese economy supports that argument.
Lord Higgins: My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. Does that mean that the Government propose to finance their deficit by borrowing abroad?
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, if I were to express any view on future government economic policy before the Pre-Budget Report, which will take place in the next two weeks, I would not be standing at this Dispatch Box for very long.
Lord Tomlinson: My Lords, I hesitate to interrupt my noble friend, but, as he specifically referred to what I said, and quoted the good parts of the OECD report, will he not acknowledge that the report expressed concern about the level of UK borrowing?
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: Yes, my Lords, it did; however, I quoted the summing-up of the OECD report on the UK economy. Nobody would claim that every sentence and paragraph of the OECD report was favourable.
Several noble Lords expressed the genuine and widespread concern, which is legitimate, about household borrowing. However, to some extent, the concern is based on a misunderstanding. The important point about the sustainability of household debt is not the amount of the debt itself but its relationship to net wealth and the cost of servicing that debt. On both counts, when net household wealth has gone up by 40 per cent since 1997 and the servicing of household debt is substantially less important than for many years, I would argue against some noble Lords who have taken part in the debate today. Although the level of household debt can be a tragedy for individual families and we must do everything that we can to avoid that tragedy, in macroeconomic terms it is not the problem that some suggest it to be.
Of course, there is concern about productivity levels and the noble Lord, Lord Tomlinson, and others expressed that. It is indeed the case, as my noble friend Lord Sainsbury said clearly and fairly in his opening speech, that our productivity levels need to be raised.
The noble Lord, Lord Sheldon, was concerned about the balance of payments. He said that he had been putting the argument for a competitive pound for many years. Of course, deficits do rise, but so does world trade. The true measure of the deficit is not in so many million pounds per year, but the percentage of gross domestic product. In 1989, the trade deficit as a percentage of gross domestic product was 4.8 per cent. In 2002, it was 4.4 per centgoing in the other direction. The current account deficit was 5 per cent in 1989. It is now 1.8 per cent. I hope that that gives some comfort to the noble Lord, Lord Sheldon, on that issue.
It is my duty to say something about the Bills that were not covered in my noble friend's opening speech. First, the Child Trust Funds Bill, which he did not introduce, has been the subject of debate to which I intend to respond. The Bill establishes child trust fund accounts for all children born since 1st September 2002. Our aim is to strengthen the real saving habit in future generations and ensure that all children have a stake in the wealth of the nation. It will give all 18 year-olds a financial asset and extend the opportunities available to them. The Government will give every child �250, with �500 for the poorest third of children. There will be an additional payment at age seven, again with more for the poorest children.
The comments on the Bill were interesting, but, understandably, were made in the absence of a full explanation of the Bill, which I have certainly not given now. The noble Lord, Lord Higgins, thought that there would be a burden on parents because of the way in which the trust fund was administered, but it will be processed automatically when parents claim child benefit. There will be no claim to make or any paperwork required. The �250 extra will be available when a family's child tax credit claim is finalised, with no additional means test.
Lord Higgins: My Lords, I apologise for intervening a second time, but that was not at all the point that I made. My point was that charges will obviously be levied by those looking after the trust fund. Will such charges be limited to 1 per cent, as in the failed stakeholder case, or some higher figure? If the proposal is to progress sensibly, the industry needs to know the figure involved.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, I was coming to that point. I did not say that the first point was the only one made by the noble Lord. However, he did make it and it needed to be answered. He also asked whether the child trust fund would be available
The second Bill to which I wish to refer is the National Insurance Contributions and Statutory Payments Bill, which makes some useful improvements to the administration of national insurance contributions. It does not change the structure or rates of NICs or disturb the contributory principle. Since there was no comment on that point, I will not burden your Lordships with a full explanation.
The third Bill that falls under the DCMS category is the Olympic lottery and horseracing betting Bill. Again, it is not in the Queen's Speech and I did not expect anybody to comment on it because the statement is being made today. However, it will enable the Government to deliver on a 2001 manifesto commitment.

Chances are if you are a single woman living in New York, you have at some point been notified of the unfavorable ratio of women to men (1.07 to 1, according to Gothamist) by a well-meaning albeit alarmist friend or two. And though those statistics have since been overwritten by census data which reveal more single, never-married men than women in the 20-34 age bracket, the dating scene is still less than optimistic for women in Park Slope.
Real estate web site Trulia has compiled their own data to create a visualization of the dating scene in various cities across the country:
We looked at the ratio of men living alone to women living alone in order to assess the dating scene. We also subtracted estimates of the gay and lesbian population in order to focus on men and women interested in dating someone of the opposite sex; check out our Welcome to the Gayborhood post if that's news you can use. Finally, we excluded people older than 65 since differences in life expectancy skew the gender ratio in the later years.
New York comes in fourth in the list of women-dominated cities, behind Boston, MA; Washington, DC; and a place called Frederick, MD. The findings are broken down by zip code in the map pictured above, where it's revealed that single women outnumber single men in Park Slope by 25%.
So, single ladies and gentleman: is that data palpable? Do you feel the imbalance on the dating scene?
According to Trulia's statistics, women are most likely to find some love out in Long Island City, while the best bet for guys is a trip to the Upper East Side. Plan your Friday nights accordingly.

Arts centre celebrates 10th anniversary
Nina Haggerty Centre opens art doors to adults with developmental disabilities
Saturday, Mar 30, 2013 06:00 am
It�s the little art studio that could. Last month the Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts celebrated its 10th anniversary, an astounding feat considering it started with a vision but very little capital.
�It�s clich� but we�ve always taken that Field of Dreams approach: build it, make it great, then they�ll get it and the money will follow,� explained Paul Freeman, the artistic director and one of the centre�s founders.
�We�re a dynamic and risk-taking bunch. We really had a hard time convincing anyone that this was a good idea before it actually happened but � you walk in and it�s tangible what the value is. It�s not hard to understand.�
The centre is, as Brenda Kim Christiansen describes it, a fully functioning studio that provides ample opportunity and resources for adults with developmental disabilities to develop their artistic abilities. The multi-disciplinary art leaders are not instructors. They simply let the artists� own interests guide their practice.
�We�re mentoring and encouraging growth. We look at it as a place where they actually are in charge of what they�re doing. No one�s telling them what to do,� Christiansen said. �You want to spend an hour in clay and then come over and paint for awhile? You want to see what it�s like to do some printmaking or glass? They have an independence and control of what they�re doing.�
The 150 members can participate in several kinds of art, with more always in the works. There�s painting, pottery, silk-screening and printmaking, textiles, computer animation, puppetry, even dance and glasswork. Jocelyn Brown also recently set up shop for a short stint as the centre�s writer-in-residence.
�We�re always looking for ways to bring other people in � but that always means writing another grant, finding the money to do that. We all feel very invested in the success of this place,� Christiansen said.
Success is in no short supply. The results can be seen on the walls and felt in the warm energy of the artists at work. There�s a lot of creativity happening all the time and much of the output is captivating.
Leona Clawson is one of the centre�s longest running members and practically a permanent fixture at the place, showing up to create four days a week. She�s involved in painting, pottery and sewing, and had a hand in making some puppets for the Nina Puppet Troupe�s performance of Crowns, Crooks and Cowboys.
Clawson said that she loves the place because she gets to be herself.
�It�s wonderful! The reason why it�s wonderful is because you come and do your own thing. I can bloom all over the place!� she exclaimed with a hearty smile and a giggle.
She will be having a solo show of her work in the near future. The centre also has exhibit space at the NHCA Stollery Gallery. This space now features French Roofs, a series of watercolours by artist Malcolm Johnson. The show runs until next Friday.
Christiansen added that she gets a lot out of working with the artists.
�It�s addictive, this place. It just gets in you. Lots of cool things are happening,� she said.
Freeman said that there are a lot of smart artists making amazing art and he is thankful to have supporters to keep things running and making positive change in the community.
�Sure there�s lots of cool art but that�s peripheral in a way to � this transformation of a personal narrative from �I was born with a disability�... to �my story is about making art, it�s about what I do and who I am, not the circumstances that life has handed to me.� Ultimately the whole community�s narrative should be transformed about what people can do.�
The Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts is located at 9225 118 Avenue in Edmonton. Call 780-474-7611 or visit www.ninahaggertyart.ca for more information.

I am a pilot. I have been flying for more than 20 years. Unlike other jobs, I don't have a 9 a.m.- 5p.m., Monday to Friday work schedule. Often I have to adjust my sleeping schedule to stay awake for long, international trips that depart late at night. Of course, my busy schedule and adjusting how I sleep affects when I eat. What I eat is another issue. Throughout the years I often had to eat the same plane food that is offered to passengers. The options haven't really changed… "Chicken or Pasta?" When I want to be adventurous I carry sandwiches from home in my carry-on luggage. Wherever I travel I always have to watch what I eat. If I decide to eat outside the hotel where I rest between flights, I have to make sure I don't eat something that may send me to the hospital and inhibit my ability to fly.
I have to admit that I've picked up some bad eating habits, which have definitely affected my digestive health. On top of that, I only eat once a day, which is something I was became used to when I was in the Air Force. All of this together has affected my health and digestive system. I especially had problems with constipation. To ease this issue, I decided to take yogurt, which certainly helped. However, when I fly I don't want to worry about having to refrigerate yogurt and it's not something I want exploding in my carry-on luggage. When a relative suggested that I try Vidazorb® chewable probiotics while I fly, I decided to give it a try.
When I started I had already been taking yogurt and have felt somewhat regular. So the first week I didn't really experience a noticeable difference. However I continued taking them to see if my body still needed to adjust to the new probiotics.
I have noticed I had been going to the bathroom slightly more than when I was only eating yogurt. I was feeling great! It seems like it cleared out everything that had been backed up in my intestines for who knows how long! I was also gassier than usual…was not fun for my wife! Luckily, the gas was only temporary.
This week I still felt great! I'm glad I can take the probiotics with me when I fly. If my stomach is ever upset from eating foreign food, I know I can take a Vidazorb® tablet to ease the symptoms.
Still regular and still happy. My digestive tract feels light and I noticed I feel like I have more energy. To be honest, I was skeptical about taking probiotic supplements. I always thought I would be okay just eating yogurt, but Vidazorb® proved me wrong. I think I found a new travel buddy!

COLIN Tizzard has nominated the Betfair Chase at Haydock as an early-season target for his stable star Cue Card.
The six-year-old shot to pro-minence with an incredible performance in the 2010 Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and he has continued to impress over hurdles and fences for the past two seasons.
He was last seen chasing home the all-conquering Sprinter Sacre in the Arkle Trophy over two miles, but the Milborne Port handler can see his charge stepping up to staying trips this season, possibly tackling three miles for the first time on Merseyside on November 24.
Tizzard said: "The plan with him is to start off at Kempton in a graduation chase and then we'll see where we go from there.
"I would say the Paddy Power Gold Cup is unlikely as he's rated 157 and carrying top-weight in a 20-runner handicap round Cheltenham doesn't really appeal to me.
"I think we could step up to three miles at Haydock. Things might change in the next few weeks, but that's the way we're looking at the moment.
"He's a really athletic horse, he looks almost fit enough to run. I think we are going to end up going over three miles with him. There is huge prize-money on offer in those top races and this could be the season to have a go.
"If we go to Kempton and then Haydock, then we'll know where we are around Chris-tmas time. We might have to come back in trip, we might not."
Another of Tizzard's leading lights is proven stayer Hey Big Spender, who won the Classic Chase at Warwick in January but missed the end of the season after suffering a setback.
Tizzard added: "He had a small injury but he's been back in about three weeks and will hopefully be ready to run in the middle of December.
He's rated 157 as well so we might have to run in conditions races later on, although he'll probably get an entry in the Welsh National.
"He loves proper winter ground and is a proper stayer, so some of those big races in Ireland might be tempting.
"Then there is Grand National to consider later on, so we'll see."

Oulu, Finland (AFP) Feb 07, 2014
Gasping and shivering, entrepreneurs from 26 Finnish startups jumped into near zero-temperature water Friday in one of the most unusual pitches ever for funding.
Wearing just swimsuits and beanies, the participants in the first-ever Polar Bear Pitching in the northwestern city of Oulu took turns in a hole dug into the iced-over Oulujoki river, explaining their business plans with clattering teeth.
The audience: A group of investors who -- appropriately dressed for the subarctic climate -- stood on the edge of the hole, deciding who should get a share of nearly 300 million euros ($408 million) in capital.
The longer the hopeful businesspeople managed to stay in the frigid water, the longer they had for their sales pitch.
"How many laps for one million?" joked one of the organisers, Jason Brower, as a particularly tenacious entrepreneur lingered in the water for minutes.
Pitching events have become so frequent in the world of business finance that many feel it is important to do something special to get investor attention.
One example is the Elevator World Tour, which rotates among major cities and gives startups an opportunity to speed-pitch their ideas while sharing a lift with wealthy investors.
Holding Friday's event in Oulu, home to 190,000 people, had particular significance, as it has been hard hit by the difficulties of one of its biggest employers, Nokia.
However, the city has a vibrant start-up scene totalling about 400 companies, many of them founded by former Nokia employees.
Normally, Finnish winter swimmers last only for seconds before getting out, but four members of wellness technology company Laturi managed to extend their time thanks to five weeks of practice.
"The first time in the water was very chaotic. We shouted, roared, swore and lasted only for five seconds," the company's chief operating officer Niina Palmu said.
Now they can hold out for up to four minutes.
Palmu called the company's software engineer "a robot" because of his ability to endure the cold.
"When he concentrates on a task or swimming, he does it without showing any emotions. He just goes into the water, stays there as long as he likes and gets back up," Palmu said.

"Are they supposed to interview everyone that comes in to the club," the vetern news woman said, answering another Celebuzz readers' question.
"Who do you like? Who don't you like? Who have you dated? Who did you recently break up with? It's too much to ask for a nightclub."

So, normally I'm a big Diet Coke fiend, but i picked up the Chocolate Mint variety at my local Sunflower Market, and it was delicious. The first note that falls on you is a rich milk chocolate followed by a pow of mint, that really hits the back of your throat even after it has been swallowed. Wholly refreshing and totally indulgent without the calories!
I love everything about pomegranates. The taste, the process of peeling and pulling out seeds, getting my fingers stained red... it goes on. They're also really good for you. Win, win all around.Added 9 Years Ago from Pomwonderful
All of these wonderful photographic fruit stickers are making me hungry.
Mmmmm...delicious.Added 9 Years Ago from Paperhouseproductions

This review is from: Thermaltake CLW0217 Water 2.0 Extreme/All-In-One Liquid Cooling System
Pros: The unit is much smaller than a large heatsink + fan are.
The fan unit is easy to mount on the top of a HAF case.
Cons: The pump stopped after only two months of use.
Before that, I was annoyed that the power comes from an entire USB2 header. I would have liked it if it came from the power supply directly.
Also, the software that ships with the device is not current; it takes a little bit of digging (after the original software won't install) to figure out that you need new software.
Finally, the entire unit is difficult at best to control from the motherboard; it works better if the proprietary software is used. However, I consider this a hassle and an extra service/process that I don't want running.
Other Thoughts: I would go elsewhere, even spend more money if I had to, to get a better watercooler.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: PPA 1431v 6 Channels 16-bit PCI Interface Sound Card
Pros: Cheap & fast delivery
Cons: CD setup program doesn't work; must let windows find driver from cd.
Drivers from manufacturer's website don't work at all.
Manufacturer's support section of website is "under construction" What is this, 1996?
Other Thoughts: I bought this card because the audio drivers on my Gigabyte EP43-DS3L motherboard cause graphic stuttering in windows 7 64-bit and windows server 2008 R2.
Forget about using the setup.exe file on the installation cd, just let windows find the appropriate driver on the cd.
Inexplicably, the drivers I downloaded from the manufacturer's website do not work at all! The setup.exe finishes with a "did not install" error, and windows can't find an appropriate driver amongst the downloaded files.
I use simple stereo out (the green plug) and haven't tried any of the other features like surround or SPDIF so I can't comment on those.
Other commenters are correct in saying this is a very poor sound card, so consider yourself warned because it will cost you more to return it than to junk it.
Bottom line: For 10$ plus $6 shipping it will probably work for your most basic stereo audio needs.

Fifth Grade

"Sophistication" is the vocab word for this hat, which features a sleek contrasting-color band along the brim and alternating, disappearing cables set against a reverse stockinette backdrop.
2 colors of worsted weight yarn. In the example, I used Cascade 220 and Knit Picks Swish. You'll need about 150 yards of the main color and fewer than 30 yards of the contrasting color.
16" circular needles, size US 7 (4.5 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge (I am a loose knitter so in the example, I used size US 6) and additional needles for small-diameter knitting (DPNs, a second circular or a long Magic Loop needle). For a tighter fit around the head, knit the brim in one size smaller needles and then go up a size for the body of the hat.
5.5 stitches/inch in stockinette stitch in the round.
Child-sized: 7.75" from brim to top when measured flat.

Nevada Senator Harry Reid has introduced a bil that would repair our national infrastructure and put construction workers back on the job.
Senators Amy Klobuchar (MN), Joe Manchin (WV), Barbara Boxer (CA), Chris Coons (DE), Bill Nelson (FL), Richard Blumenthal (CN), Diane Feinstein (CA), Carl Levin (MI), Robert Menendez (NJ) and Sherrod Brown (OH) are all co-sponsors.
Called the Rebuild America Jobs Act, the bill is based on President Obama's jobs plan, and would invest $50 billion in roads, rails, and runways across the country.
Additionally, the bill would invest $10 billion to establish a National Infrastructure Bank that would mix private and public sector money to support construction projects across the country — without adding a penny to the deficit.
The legislation would be paid for by asking millionaires and billionaires to pay a small 0.7 percent surtax on their income. This would affect less than one percent of Americans.
Everyone who has traveled past his or her front door knows our infrastructure needs work. There are 150,000 miles of roadway, 4,000 miles of train tracks, and 150 miles of airport runways in need of upgrades and maintenance nationwide. The American Society of Civil Engineers gives America's infrastructure a "D."
We need a top-notch infrastructure to compete in the global economy, and this bill would put Americans back to work building it.
Seventy-two percent of Americans and 54 percent of Republicans agree it's time to upgrade the nation's infrastructure. Even Senate Republicans have supported government investments in infrastructure in the past.
That is why Senator Reid has said it is time for Republicans "to put their political motivations aside and work with us on this common sense bill to create jobs."

Non Surgical Options To Treat Facial Scars on Dark Skin? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Non surgical scar treatment of the face
Unfortunately, your scars can't be well appreciated on your photos so specific recommendations can't be made. Nevertheless, there are non-surgical options that could help some scars though not necessarily treat them to the best degree. This can included topical silicone gel, skin bleaching agents and even injectables though the cost of the latter may ultimately be more than a surgical procedure.
You would be best served consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon with an interest in scar treatment.
Non Surgical Options To Treat Facial Scars on Dark Skin?
A scar can be manipulated as it is healing and maturing; A process which takes as long as 8-12 months. If a scar goes up (like a cake being baked) it is considered HYPETROPHIC and can be flattened with topical silicone sheeting or ointment or injections of steroids. If the scar is darker it may be lightened with application of bleaching creams. If it is depressed, it may be raised by using a needle to cut the attachments which pull it into the tissue and injecting either fat or a filler under the scar lifting it. BUT - if the scar is mature and wide, only surgery can REVISE it by cutting it out and re-doing it.

Khloe Kardashian's L.A. Pit Stop
Making a quick pit stop, Khloe Kardashian was spotted at Rick's restaurant in Los Angeles while on the way to CBS studios on Friday (October 5).
Decked out in a black top with matching jacket and blue jeans, the casual-chic reality star made her way out of the public restroom while chatting on her cell.
Recently, the youngest of the three Kardashian sisters revealed to The Block magazine that she was teased by her teachers about how different she looked from her siblings.
"[My teachers would say] 'Oh, you're a Kardashian sister? But they're so pretty!' They're not saying I'm ugly, but they are - or that's how I took it."
"One day I just thought, yeah, I am different and I'm pretty in my own way and they're pretty in their own way. Some people like apples, some people like oranges, but that doesn't mean apples are bad. I just accepted it," Khloe added.

- Resources
A Foot-Shaped, Wide Toe Box Athletic Shoe
The Altra Superior 2.0 is a versatile and lightweight trail running or walking shoe that's both comfortable and foot-healthy. This trail shoe features canted lugs that provide excellent grip on a variety of terrain. The Superior 2.0 also possesses a zero drop platform (i.e., a completely flat sole from heel to toe) to enable natural arch support and an anatomically appropriate toe box that encourages natural toe splay.
The Perfect Shoe for Active Outdoor Pursuits
The Altra Superior 2.0 is the perfect companion for trail running, hiking, fastpacking, or trail racing, as it allows your toes to spread the way nature intended and helps prevent many common running injuries, including shin splints, runner's knee, and plantar fasciosis.
Comfort, Stability & Protection
This foot-shaped shoe can be used in combination with Correct Toes toe spacers, Injinji toe socks, and Strutz foot pads or Pedag metatarsal pads to improve performance and restore foot health and function. The Altra Superior 2.0 is designed to improve toe splay, running form, ankle stability, traction, comfort, and foot protection. Each Altra Superior 2.0 shoe weighs about 8.7 oz.
- Trail Rudder
- Zero Drop Platform
- FootShape Toe Box
- Natural Ride System
- Stack Height: 21 mm
- GaiterTrap Technology
- NFG Certified Product
- Dual Layer EVA Midsole
- Weight (per shoe): ~8.7 oz.
- Quick-Dry Trail Mesh upper
- Removable StoneGuard liner

- Removable 5 mm Contour Footbed
- Works well with Correct Toes and Injinji toe socks

To get the most out of your Altra Superior 2.0 shoes, please consider the following general sizing suggestion:
The Altra Superior 2.0 runs a ½ size small. We suggest buying a ½ size larger than your regular running shoes. For example, if you normally wear a women's size 8 (US) running shoe, we recommend ordering a women's size 8.5 (US) in the Altra Superior 2.0 (unless you plan to wear the shoe without the included liner/footbed, in which case we'd suggest buying your regular running shoe size).
Note: To create additional roominess within the shoe, consider removing the included (optional) shoe liner/footbed; this action does not, in any way, affect the performance of the shoe or foot comfort.

Rick Moranis To Release Brand New Album - My Mothers Brisket And Other Love Songs - June 18
Posted on May 21th by Team WMN in ,
Actor, comedian and multiple GRAMMY nominated musician, Rick Moranis, is set to release his brand new album, My Mother's Brisket & Other Love Songs, June 18th on Warner Bros. Records/LoudMouth Entertainment. The album, which is available for pre-order today, allows fans to choose between four special packages featuring My Mother's Brisket & Other Love Songs on CD and/or digital download. The Minyan Pack of 10 CD's (for the cousins) and L'Chaim Pack of 18 CD's (to include the second cousins), also feature a celebratory inscribed yarmulke; My Mother's Brisket Deluxe Pack features the album on CD, digital download and the yarmulke; My Mother's Brisket Digital Pack features a digital copy of the album delivered on the day of release, June 18th. A collection of songs derived from his Jewish roots and upbringing, My Mother's Brisket & Other Love Songs, features an eclectic blend of klezmer, rumba, folk and jazz covering themes of family, food, religious traditions and love.
Moranis explains, "When I first began writing jokes and sketches with various Jewish partners, one of us would inevitably stop at some point and announce, 'Too Jewish!', meaning, too Jewish for the star, the show, the network or the audience. The songs on this album are all in that category. I grew up hearing Allan Sherman and the 'You Don't Have To Be Jewish' albums in the 60's. Now, I'm in my 60's."
Nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Comedy Album in 1983 and 2005, music has always been a big part of Rick Moranis' career. He started spinning records on Toronto 70's radio, then went on to do stand-up comedy, always appearing with his guitar. On the Emmy award winning TV series "SCTV", Moranis did musical impressions, parodies and characters. He also starred in a list of still loved 80's films including "Ghostbusters," "Spaceballs," "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" and the cult-favorite McKenzie Brothers' film "Strange Brew," along with, one of his most beloved, the musical Little Shop of Horrors. With this album, Moranis returns to where he started.

<img class="rg_i" data-sz="f" name="pVTdVbDZMTv44M:" src="data:image/jpeg;base64,[encoded data, 5000 characters]" style="height: 168px; margin-left: -9px; margin-right: -19px; margin-top: 0px; width: 299px;" />

Professor Mark Kendall has delivered a most engaging TED talk where he describes the history of needles and the latest development in his research. With improved immune responses to the nanopatch, vaccines that were previously too expensive to administer in the developing world can now be available at a hundredth of the dose to those in particular need. This same logic applies to vaccine candidates that are currently too weak to be effective. Examples include vaccines currently under development against HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. Improved immune responses with the nanopatch delivery method allows for a better way to tackle these diseases.

Another advantage of the nanopatch delivery method is it eliminates the need for the "cold chain" - that is the need for current liquid preparation vaccines to be refrigerated from the point of manufacture to the point of administration. This cold chain has to be maintained throughout the vaccines' journey and is a key limitation in the developing world, where temperatures are high and fridges are few. Up to 50% of vaccines in Africa are ineffective due to failure of the cold chain. With the nanopatch this requirement is removed as the vaccine is a dry preparation.

Currently there are field trials of the HPV vaccine (cervical cancer vaccine) in Papua New Guinea. This trial tests two of the limitations of current vaccines - the cold chain and the prohibitive cost. I will be following the results with interest.

Diagram of a bacteriophage - a virus that "eats" bacteria

In the fight against bacteria, a not-so-new weapon has re-emerged, namely viruses. The viruses that attack bacteria are called bacteriophages and were first described in the Ganges River in India in the late 1800s. With the ability to heal skin sores on pilgrims, progress in knowledge of the organisms was hampered by their minute size which made them invisible until the advent of the Electron Microscope in 1942. The emergence of antibiotics such as penicillin further placed bacteriophages on the back-burner. However, the rise of antibiotic resistance and the shortage of newer antibiotics to target resistant bacteria has led to a re-emergence of interest in these tiny organisms.

My thoughts recently have turned again to God, the Universe and the miracles we are to expect in the near future.

Specifically, I watched some of Prof Stephen Hawking's future series. He tells of a new technology that is allowing blind eyes to see. It really is the stuff of science fiction and we are only still beginning to discover the amazing ways that technology can enhance the capabilities of the human body.

Personally also I have come to realise that God works in amazing ways and who knows if in the future the miracles described in the Bible will become commonplace through technology. Already the lame can walk and the deaf can hear.

But for me the real message of the Bible is in the love of Jesus on the cross and that is what helps me get through the daily hurdles of life in this busy world.

God bless!SuHhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219066763411909814.post-38704880485875158702013-10-27T14:20:00.000+11:002013-10-29T18:17:33.565+11:00Needle-Free Immunisations UpdateIn the experimental stage at present are nanoparticle delivering skin patch systems to deliver immunisations. Developed by Prof Mark Kendall from the University of Queensland, the patches are starting to undergo human trials this year in Australia and Dr Kendall hopes they will deliver low-cost and effective immunisation to the developing world. He has received a grant from Merck and also won an enterprise award from Rolex, to help him carry out the work.

The needle-free nanopatch should not be confused with homoeopathic vaccinations which are also needle-free. These oral preparations are prepared by a process of succussion or potentiation whereby the disease extract is diluted in water a number of times by vigorously shaking until there is none of it remaining in the final preparation. This is then administered orally to patients. Each practitioner approaches their preparations in a different way, as there is no regulating body that oversees the practice of homoeopathy in Australia.

The British Homoeopathic Association and the Australian Register of Homoeopaths both do not recommend homoeopathic immunisations over conventional vaccination. In fact, the Australian Homoeopathic Association on it's webpage on vaccinations clarifies that homoeopathic vaccinations is a misnomer as vaccination requires the formation of antibodies which is not the case with the homoeopathic system. This system should better be known as homoeoprophylaxis and is not recommended by all homoeopaths.SuHhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219066763411909814.post-68661046543600890472013-10-26T16:45:00.000+11:002013-10-26T16:45:25.578+11:00Art = HealthArt As Therapy is a website that attempts to inspire and educate regarding the beauty and therapeutic potential of great works of art. It is created by the wonderful Alain de Botton, who has helped make philosophy accessible and palatable to many people. Botton's musings are like a the sound of trickling water - a soothing soliloquy that relaxes and inspires the soul. Botton has also developed an educational forum called the School of Life which offers sermons and gatherings of a secular nature where people can reflect and learn from others on the various challenges of modern life. Modern wisdom is imparted on a range of topics such as why work is often unfulfilling and why relationships are so hard to negotiate. Botton's motivations appear to be philanthropic, directing his energies to existentialist dilemmas in the Western World. Indeed, Botton's London School of Life offers classes and therapies to those who seek to live life wisely and well. It draws its wisdom not from religion or dogma but from the humanities and philosophy. I think it is the way to go for those seeking poetic answers that speak to the spirit of life's daily toil.SuHhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219066763411909814.post-76127940045097706832013-10-26T16:06:00.000+11:002013-10-29T17:54:33.497+11:00I Heart Fats and OilsHere is an interesting documentary worth watching. Interesting and seemingly plausible. I recommend it! Hopefully it will be of help to those battling high cholesterol and offer some hope. A more restrained commentary from the BBC is also available here. There does seem to be some credibility in the views expressed. The ABC Catalyst show has been traditionally high quality reporting. I would like to know more about the Atkins Diet and how it fits in with the latest theories. To download the articles on which the report is based, see here. The report is based on a new book by Dr Stephen Sinatra (cardiologist) and Dr Jonny Bowden (nutritionist) called The Great Cholesterol Myth. More searching will reveal that concerns regarding cholesterol date back to 2000 when Uffe Ravnskov, a Danish independent researcher, publicised the theory through his own enquiry.

One of the frustrating things I find is how big business and corporations jump on every emerging theory when there is a buck to be made. And powerful politics is not far behind. It is very hard to get to the truth of the matter. But I still think good science is the tool to make sense out of it all in the end. We just have to persevere! What needs to follow now is a proper systematic review of the literature and more research. It will be a battle with the industry and big pharmaceutical companies standing to lose their vested interests. However, it does seem that statins, the drugs which lower cholesterol, do have some benefits in those with high risk of heart disease and those who have had a heart attack. However, Ravnskov proposes that the mechanisms by which this occur is other than lowering of cholesterol, and the benefits are modest - probably not worth the financial cost. Furthermore, other harmful side effects with statins have been described. It is quite compelling stuff.

In the meantime, the Mediterranean Diet seems to tick all the boxes with high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. It is also low in refined carbohydrates like sugar - the real villain, I believe.SuHhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219066763411909814.post-71833228484776612972013-10-10T20:05:00.000+11:002013-10-11T09:28:26.175+11:00Towards Health Equity for AllAn article in The Conversation outlines how social status is good for health and helps those in the upper echelons achieve better health outcomes through social participation and autonomy. The article which aims to shed light on the social determinants of disease further explains that education has positive effects across the social gradient. The aim then should not be to acquire more riches and widen the existing gaps between rich and poor, but to affect policy changes that encourage better sharing of resources and foster broader inclusion of all people, and perhaps especially the poor, in meaningful community participation.

Australia's welfare state aims to do just that and is quite an example internationally of an egalitarian but relatively low-taxing system, which redistributes wealth to the poorest sectors of the community. This egalitarianism is what makes many people from diverse backgrounds undergo trials, hardships and in some instances, perilous journeys, to call Australia home. Whilst the feeling towards migrants is often ambivalent, with policies favouring migration (especially if the migrant possesses desired skills) but people facing discrimination once here, many undertake settlement in the new country precisely because of it's values and ideals, and a system of law and governance that allows those ideals to be realised.

While some may disagree that Australia is a low-taxing country, the article on Inside Story has it that Australia is the sixth lowest taxing country in the OECD, with taxes at about 27 per cent of GDP, compared to 35 per cent on average in the OECD. The reason why many might disagree could be because taxes in Australia are adjusted to income, and most of us in the debate are relatively well-off and highly taxed. It may also be argued that the super-rich and their companies could be taxed more (eg. the mining tax)

If it works here, it can work elsewhere; the aim then is to reduce inequalities across the globe, and the Millennium Development Goals Report is promising progress on just that.SuHhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219066763411909814.post-30488125729221566652013-10-09T16:28:00.000+11:002013-10-09T16:28:02.944+11:00Global Cancer GapThe gap in cancer treatment across the world and the divide between rich and poor is a reflection of the disparities that many of the poor face. Whilst technology continues to improve outcomes for those in the developed world, many of whom have access to the latest treatments, the poor in the developing world are left to suffer, where late diagnosis and inadequate treatment and palliation abound. Leading oncologists in the developed world have called for a radical solution, including financing the fight with public/private partnerships. In a report from Amsterdam, some are calling for an end to the suspicion between the public and private sector and for health outcomes to cease being seen as a competition.SuHhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219066763411909814.post-60603572445797528042013-06-20T10:55:00.002+10:002013-06-20T10:55:44.214+10:00Weigh More to SayI did not know about this new diet but it looks like I was onto something in my article Weigh to Go. It is coming to Australia and the predictable conservatism and overly cautious "first do no harm" approach has pervaded the advice.

Well, I feel that eating disorders are uncommon and most people do not fall into those categories. However the new DSM-V does have a new diagnosis - Binge Eating Disorder (I mean, this is not bulimia, and the DSM-V has been criticised for blurring the line between normal and abnormal - diagnostic inflation). The move is part of the trend towards early diagnosis and there has been a shift from treating severe mental illness to common mental illness, which means that certain groups of society - the corporate rationalists do benefit from this shift.

Personally, I am going to stick with my restrictive diet, knowing that I will not develop an eating disorder and that it is the only way I can maintain my current weight and health. I am happy because I am taking care of my health!

SuHhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219066763411909814.post-56528135791818110492013-06-06T22:12:00.000+10:002017-03-14T07:13:05.518+11:00God MattersI have been searching for some time now for a community that shares belief in several different faiths and have not found one. I attended the Monash Interfaith Gathering last month, thinking it was an Interfaith forum, and found instead that it was a forum for people to represent their one faith (whatever that might be) in matters pertaining to the City of Monash. For example, if one group wanted to build a statue of their God, they would make a proposal to MIG and in this meeting the different groups would voice their feelings for or against and vote on the matter. The voiced opinions were guarded and politically worded, but there was no true acceptance of each other's faiths. The motivation was to prevent religious divisions from escalating in the community by allowing people of different faiths to dialog with each other.

I, on the other hand, am looking for gurus who can guide me on several different religious paths. I believe in Christ - the loving and holy God of Christianity who one can pray to in a personal and childlike way.

I accept Buddhism, which has taken meditation and mindfulness and transformed it to an art. I also believe that these practices work, as there is scientific evidence to back them.

I believe in Hindu teachings that all ways are one. But I do not accept fundamentalist Hindu Nationalism, or any fundamentalism.

I respect Islam with its teachings of One Holy God who does not tolerate evil.

But I do not know enough about all these paths, and I find it hard to find anyone who accepts the teachings of all of these without taking them literally and fundamentally. It seems we have become very narrow-minded and prescriptive in our beliefs. I think we were more accepting decades ago when I was a child. But now, every religion seems to be trying very hard to define itself.

SuHhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219066763411909814.post-61525380524890068192013-05-22T09:38:00.000+10:002013-05-22T13:43:34.241+10:00Weigh to go!I thought I would share with you how I was able to lose 10 kilos and keep it off. About 3 years ago I weighed 65 kg and for my height was in the overweight category. My tummy stuck out and my face looked puffy. Over the course of about 2 months I lost about 8 kg, just by eating less. I did not increase my activity - so I did not improve my fitness. But, contrary to popular belief, almost all weight loss occurs just by controlling the amount you eat. Exercise has almost no effect at all on weight loss, although it has other benefits, such as being good for the heart and lungs. Currently, I am maintaining my weight at 55 kg by only eating towards the end of the day. That is, I consistently do not eat breakfast. I just don't feel hungry at that time of the day, and eating in the morning does not make me eat less later, despite what the weight-loss gurus say. For me that works - and that is a key point - you've got to find what works for you and stick with it.

My weight fluctuates between 56 and 55 kg. Nowadays, when my weight goes up, I try not to eat lunch either, because I find that when I eat, I eat more. It seems to create a response in my brain and stomach that says, "don't stop now, stuff yourself!" I only stop when I am completely full, which is probably when I have had more than I need.

If I eat at the end of the day after I have overcome bouts of (short-lived) hunger during the day, I invariably eat less. This is because the overall amount of calories is less for the whole day even if I eat to satisfaction. Also, when you eat less, it works on the same principal as the Very Low Calorie Diets (a good way to lose weight and one that works for a lot of people). That is that the body goes into a state of starvation and secretes ketones. These ketones actually suppress hunger, so that when you eat less, it makes you eat less!

Now I want you to understand, I am not depressed or anorexic. My weight is stable at 55 kg and I do not want to lose more. Anorexia is a psychological illness with a distorted body image and the sufferer keeps lowering the weight loss goal. I do not want to get anorexia as I love my life and my children very much. However, I suppose I am saying that I do not actually need to eat very much at all. Remember, I am small and short, so it will be different for others depending on their size and height. I think a dietician is a must for all those who are not themselves in the health field.

So how do I "overcome bouts of hunger"? I try some of these strategies:

1. I eat less. For the first few days when I eat less, I feel very hungry. But after a while it becomes normal to eat at the new level and I don't feel hungry anymore.

2. I drink more. When I feel hungry (like about 11 am) I have a cup of tea. Water has zero calories but for me, sipping tea works better as it takes time to go through one cup. Also, I think the bit of milk I have in my tea soothes my tummy a bit. This may not work for everyone, just find what works for you. I do not restrict the number of cups of tea I have during the day, but I find that I should not have too much of them either, and this becomes easier with the next strategy:

3. I keep my mind active. If I am busy reading, writing, talking to friends and family etc. etc. the time goes really quickly and I don't even think about food. Unfortunately, much of our social lives are centred around food and beverage. Again, I allow myself tea, but I stay away from cakes and biscuits.

4. I do not have any cakes, biscuits or chips in my house. My husband does the grocery shopping and he never indulged in those items in the past - so a lot of my weight loss is thanks to him! He just came from a different family that did things a different way - whereas in my family we did not think about it and bought everything and ate everything without thinking about the health consequences (but that was before the obesity epidemic). As the children have grown older we do buy a few snacks for them to take to school, but I do not touch them as I feel they are for the children and not for me. I am happy with this as it serves my goal to live healthy. Consequently, I do not snack (some days are better than others!)

In addition to the above, we also have a habit of eating healthy, such as:

5. Eating home-cooked meals, which are lower in calories, every night.

6. Take-away is only one night a week, as is soft drink.

7. Eating out is a rarity. On several occasions like the birthdays, Mother's Day etc we may eat out. Fast food like McDonalds is on the menu about 4 times a year.

Finally, I weigh myself regularly, both to encourage myself and to monitor and educate myself on how I have been going. Initially I used a calorie counter book to inform me on the number of kilojoules I was consuming - now I just calculate it roughly in my head to the nearest 100 kj.

So there you have it! It is possible and worth the weight!SuHhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219066763411909814.post-50660629992452522652013-05-21T22:52:00.001+10:002013-05-22T09:38:48.914+10:00The Good, the Bad, and the UnsanitaryReports from the UN and WHO seem to be so positive these days. One that was announced last week says that tetanus has been eliminated in over 30 high-risk countries. Another announcement that has been made involves the WHO statistics on countries with the best and worst health - the gap is narrowing they say. However much work still needs to be done. A report from WHO  states that about a third of the world's population (2.4 billion people) still do not have access to clean water and sanitation. This leads to gastroenteritis and the totally preventable deaths of children - untold suffering for parents.

Meanwhile the Syrian conflict continues to haunt us. Here is the story of how the World Food Programme is helping one young girl. The UN is attempting to get the warring factions to attend next months international conference in Geneva.

All of us who can and are helping (even in small ways) are to be generously thanked and applauded. Well done for all that we have achieved so far - and keep up the fight!

The frontlines, where the help is most needed is a hostile place that only a few hardy souls from the West can endure. It takes a special person to make the journey, and as Dr Bird shows us in his article, it takes a great deal of persistence, drive and vision. As you read on, think of ways in which we can all help get behind the cause - just by sharing and spreading the news. Show these people we care. It is not necessarily through donating money to the cause (even though that helps), but through government action, which, in democracies, is spurred on by the will of the people.

This apathy is even more unbelievable when we see how such a tiny contribution multiplies exponentially in terms of the impact it has in developing countries. The contribution of just 50 cents per $100 by the Australian government means vaccines for 10 million more children, clean water for 8.5 million more people and education for an additional 4 million children. You can link through UNICEF to facebook and twitter spread the word. This is what each of us can do to keep up the pressure on the government and continue the goal towards ending poverty - we can Make Poverty History - sign the petition and add your name to the movement and let the Australian government know you care

 After all, compassion fatigue causes many problems too.SuHhttp://email@example.com

Nicki Minaj's 2012 Grammy Performance – Exorcism of Roman Zolanski
As if the Grammy Awards weren't SURREAL enough with the passing of R&B Diva Whitney Houston! Nicki Minaj aka Roman Zolanski performed her new song "The Exorcism of Roman" and had everybody within visual range going "WTF?!?!?!?!?"
In this dumbfounding performance, Nicki starts off growling and yelling at some poor old white guy in a tuxedo, sitting in some make-shift gazebo. The INTRO itself was so nerve racking, that the guy in the tux on stage had HIS ears covered!
I don't know what was going through Mz. Minaj's head, or anybody's head who was associated with this….WHATEVER…! And not only did she have everybody at the Grammy's shaking their heads, the Catholic community has made statements claming Nicki's performance to be blasphemous and disrespectful. They go on to say that something like this would never have been directed at the Hebrew or Islamic communities.
Somehow I highly doubt that….just wait til next year!

Problem with an old Cisco Aironet 1100 (AP1121G-E-K9)
I'm trying to "resurect" an old wireless network made with Cisco Aironet 1100. One of the AP has lost its IOS (due to an error while trying to upgrade it through the web interface)
I tried to reload it with the "mode button". I can see in my TFTP server logs that the AP is downloading the IOS but nothing happens and the AP keep beeing stucked (leds are : red/green/red)
Could somebody help me to understand what's going wrong and to make it work again ?
Thx in advance

Hi Terry, I share your sentiments. I am very sad to see the prairie grain elevators disappearing so quickly. Thank you for posting those two. I think my fav from your gallery is the one from Indian Head. Although it is in winter, that is for me the prairies.
I also see in your shots that many farmers have taken over the elevators and have kept them up. That is the case here too. It seems the little towns can keep going and even thrive for the business and traffic the elevator or auction or both bring in. Here is another I did of the Stavely Alberta Wheat Pool elevator which is now owned by the Husted Farms. It is in great shape and Stavely seems OK...it even has a hotel and good looking town office.

KEMP keeps network traffic moving for North Wales Police; LoadMasters from KEMP increase performance and high availability for mission-critical Microsoft applications
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) North Wales Police (NWP) has replaced its legacy Windows Network Load Balancing software with two KEMP LoadMaster3600 appliances to increase the performance and high availability of its mission-critical Microsoft Exchange 2010, Lync and SharePoint applications. The new KEMP server load balancers deliver a faster, more reliable user experience for its 1,500 police men and women, 160 community support officers and over 900 office workers from Wrexham to the Isle of Anglesey.
NWP had migrated to MS Exchange 2010 when it was launched and was one of the first police forces in the UK to deploy Microsoft SharePoint and use the MS Lync platform for managing unified communications; but it had experienced problems when using Windows Network Load Balancing (WNLB) software. "Despite its popularity, there are some limitations to using WNLB for MS Exchange 2010," explained Andy Cunnah, Innovation and Business Development Manager from NWP.
The KEMP LoadMaster 3600 is an advanced application delivery controller with Layer 7 content switching that intelligently and efficiently distributes user traffic across multiple web and application servers to deliver a great end user experience and high availability. If a server becomes inaccessible, the balancer will take it off-line and automatically re-route and reconnect users to other functioning servers to guarantee application uptime.
The KEMP LoadMaster appliances were installed by System Professional, the UK-based KEMP Centre channel partner.
"Ultimately, the KEMP LoadMaster technology was fit for purpose and a fully accredited Microsoft solution," says Cunnah. "KEMP and System Professional were chosen based on their ability to deliver what we needed with an attractive pricing model and first class support. The installation was a very smooth transition and the LoadMaster appliances have delivered excellent performance and value for money." NWP is looking to expand the use of its KEMP LoadMasters for additional core line of business applications.
