Heath Ledger and his longtime partner Michelle Williams call it quits. The couple who's been together for three years is said to have "quietly and amicably split a few weeks ago".
"It was rocky for awhile," a source close to the couple said. "They did what they could to make it work." No details on the reason of the break up being made public though.
Ledger and Williams met while they were filming "Brokeback Mountain" in 2004. They later on engaged and have one daughter together, Matilda Rose Ledger, who was born on October 28, 2005.

GreenRoots Presents
GreenRoots Presents is a socially conscious production company that has organized live music benefit concerts at premiere venues in Austin, TX, the Bay Area, and greater Los Angeles. What started with an eco-friendly wedding in Ojai, CA has organically grown to include producing events, commercials, a film and music showcases centered around creating a sense of community within the artists' community and raising funds for different local Los Angeles non-profit causes that support literacy programs for impoverished children, Hope for Haiti Now, inner city arts and music education programs, Gulf Relief and many more.
GreenRoots has put on sold-out concerts with platinum selling artists Bruno Mars and Colbie Caillat, pop sensations Andy Grammer and Allen Stone. GreenRoots has also presented performers Aqualung, John West, Tony Lucca, Angel Taylor, Allen Stone, Cary Brothers, Rocco DeLuca, Brendan James, Raining Jane, Keaton Simons, Lucy Schwartz, Kina Grannis, Jacob Luttrell, Ernie Halter and showcased to a sold out crowd at SXSW.
Currently, they are producing a television project entitled "The Sound Lab". This is an experiment based upon the belief that if you mix a network of individuals with discerning ears for great sound with a collection of artists with world class talent, you will create a resulting community with the capacity to socially elevate the art of music that transcends labels of gender, class or creed and boundaries of race, culture and age. It will suddenly be about staying connected to one another while staying rooted in the music.
Over the past few years, partners of GreenRoots have included Colette Weintraub, co-founder of the RED campaign w/ Bono, Producers of Emmy Award-winning Current TV, "MAX and JASON", Legendary music producer Mikal Blue (producer for One Republic, Colbie Caillat, Daughtry and Five For Fighting), M.A.M.A. earth, community organization that hosts concerts, events, classes, retreats while working closely with many non-profits, raising money for causes close to their hearts, and Causecast, a forward thinking, socially conscious, online, one-stop philanthropy and volunteerism shop. GreenRoots has built strong partnerships as a result of following the motto of "Creating community, from the roots up".
From intimate parties and documentaries to jam sessions in Venice and sold out concerts in Hollywood, GreenRoots hopes to remind the artists and the audience that the purpose behind the art is participation, locally and globally, because at the end of the day, we're all in this together :)

<< Previous | Index | Next >>"THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS" Be Transformed (12:1-2) INTRODUCTION 1. In Ro 12:1-2, Paul makes the following plea regarding transforming our lives: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what [is] that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." 2. As we consider this text, several questions come to mind... a. What does it mean to be transformed? b. What is the goal of transformation? c. What should motivate us to undergo transformation? d. What does one do in order to experience transformation? [Starting with the first question ("What does it mean to be transformed?"), let's consider . . . ] I. THE DEFINITION OF TRANSFORMATION A. THE WORD... 1. The Greek word is metamorphoo (met-am-or-fo'-o) a. Lit., "to change into another form" (Vine's) b. From which comes the word "metamorphosis" c. Used to describe a change of form (e.g., when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly) 2. In the NT, this word is used to describe: a. What happened to Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration - Mt 17:1-2 b. What is to happen to Christians in their service to God - Ro 12:1-2 B. THE CONCEPT... 1. The idea being commanded by Paul is this: a. Christians are "to undergo a complete change, which under the power of God, will find expression in character and conduct" (Vine's) b. I.e., we who are "caterpillars" are to become "butterflies" 2. Note that Paul uses the passive voice a. Indicating that "transformation" is something we allow to be done to us b. Not something we do by our own power alone c. Rather, we submit to God's power and by His grace... 1) We are "changed into another form" 2) We become a "new creation" - cf. 2Co 5:17 [But this leads us to our second question ("What is the goal of transformation?")...] II. THE GOAL OF TRANSFORMATION A. TO BECOME LIKE CHRIST... 1. As expressed by Paul - 2Co 3:18 2. As predestined by God - Ro 8:29 3. The purpose of being a disciple (to become like his teacher) - Lk 6:40 4. The goal of Christian living - cf. Col 3:9-10 B. TO LIVE LIKE CHRIST... 1. To present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy, acceptable to God a. Is this not what Jesus did on earth? - cf. He 10:5 b. So we are to offer ourselves as living sacrifices - Ro 12:1 2. To prove that God's will is good, acceptable, and perfect a. Was this not Jesus sought to do on earth? - cf. Jn 6:38 b. So we are to demonstrate that God's will is right - Ro 12:2 [Such is the goal of being transformed; indeed, it is the goal of being a Christian! Yet why do many never experience the transformation God offers? Why do they remain "caterpillars"? Perhaps they lack the proper motivation...] III. THE MOTIVATION FOR TRANSFORMATION A. THE MERCIES OF GOD... 1. In our text, Paul appealed to transformation based on God's mercies - Ro 12:1 2. What mercies of God had Paul discussed earlier in his epistle? a. Freedom from sin - Ro 6:16-18 b. Gift of eternal life - Ro 6:23 c. Peace with God - Ro 5:1 d. Access to the grace of God - Ro 5:2 e. Saved from the wrath of God - Ro 5:9 -- Should not God's mercy move us to repent and seek transformation? - cf. Ro 2:4-5 B. THE LOVE OF CHRIST... 1. Elsewhere, Paul revealed the motivating power of the love of Christ - 2Co 5:14-15 2. Such love compelled him to live for Jesus - cf. Ga 2:20 -- Does not the love of Christ move us to live FOR Him and LIKE Him? C. THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE... 1. The alternative to being transformed is being conformed to this world - Ro 12:1 a. The word conformed (suschematizo, soos-khay-mat-id'-zo) as used here implies that which is "transitory, changeable, unstable" (Vine's) b. I.e., at the most we can only be an imitation, a cheap copy 2. If not transformed, we will either be conformed to... a. The world 1) Act like the world, be like those in the world 2) In which we will bring shame to the name of Christ b. Other Christians 1) Outwardly we may act like Christians, appear like them 2) But it will be just a cheap "copy", which eventually reveals its true nature! -- Is that what we want? To bring shame to the name of Christ? To be "plastic" Christians, or to be the real thing? [Why not let the mercies of God and the love of Christ motivate us to seek transformation? The process is not as difficult as one might think...] IV. THE PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION A. IN THE BEGINNING... 1. Remember, transformation is a passive process ("be transformed") - Ro 12:2 a. We cannot change ourselves by our own strength or meritorious works b. As Paul vividly illustrated his dilemma prior to his conversion - Ro 7:14-24 -- We must submit to God's working on us! 2. It begins when we are baptized into Christ! a. For there we experience the working of God - Col 2:11-13 1) Spiritually circumcised as our sins are removed 2) Buried then raised with Christ 3) Made alive with Christ, forgiven of all trespasses b. For there we experience the renewal of the Spirit - Tit 3:5 1) Saved by the mercy of God 2) Involving a washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit c. For there we rise to walk in newness of life - Ro 6:3-8 1) Having been buried with Christ by baptism into His death 2) Having been crucified with Christ that we might be free from sin 3) Having been raised to live with Christ -- When joined with faith and repentance, baptism becomes the starting point in which true transformation can take place! - cf. Mk 16:16; Ac 2:38 B. RENEWING THE MIND... 1. The process of transformation continues as we renew the mind a. As indicated in our text - Ro 12:2; cf. also Ep 4:20-24 b. Unless there is a renewing of the mind, any change in our lives will be superficial 2. Renewing the mind is made possible by where we set our minds a. Setting our minds on things above - Col 3:1-2 b. Setting our minds on the things of the Spirit - Ro 8:5 c. I.e., feeding our minds with the Word of God, prayer, fellowship, etc. - Ac 2:42 3. With our minds "renewed" we can experience a true transformation! a. By putting off the old man and putting on the new man - cf. Col 3:2,5-10 b. By living according to the Spirit - cf. Ro 8:5,13 4. The process of transformation is really quite simple a. Set your minds on things above in order to renew your mind; for example... 1) Meditate and contemplate on God and His Word 2) Keep your mind in communication with God via prayer 3) Involve your mind in spiritual worship via frequent assembling with others 4) Center your mind on Jesus via the Lord's Supper ...and your mind will gradually be renewed! b. With renewed minds, it becomes possible to put off the old, and put on the new! 1) To put off the old man with its sins 2) To put on the new man patterned after the example of Christ 5. Modern studies in self-improvement confirm this truth a. We become what we think b. We can change attitudes and behavior by filling our mind with positive mental images -- In our efforts, we are not alone; God is at work with us! - cf. Php 1:6; 2:12-13 C. WHAT HINDERS MANY CHRISTIANS... 1. If it is so easy, why do many Christians remain "caterpillars"? a. Were they not regenerated at their baptism? (yes) b. Don't they have the promise of God's help? (yes) 2. The problem is likely a failure to renew the mind a. Can a mind be renewed on a starvation diet? (e.g., irregular Bible study) b. Can a mind be renewed on a junk-food diet? (e.g., trashy movies and novels) 3. Why many Christians do not experience transformation... a. They become what they think, and much of what they think upon is not becoming! b. They spend more time watching things of the devil than reading things of the Spirit! -- Our attitudes and behavior is but a reflection of what goes into our minds! CONCLUSION 1. We have been called to be "transformed" into the image of Christ... a. We have all the motivation we need (God's mercies and Christ's love) b. We have the opportunity to start anew by the washing of regeneration c. We must allow our minds to be renewed by setting them on things above -- Are we submitting to "brain surgery" by the Great Physician...? 2. God wants to give us a complete "make over"... a. He has provided the means (Jesus' blood) to remove the deformity of sin b. He provides the tools (Bible study, prayer, fellowship) to fashion a new person -- Are we making good use of the mercies of God? In light of God's wonderful grace, this is our "reasonable" service. Shall we not prove to the world that God's will is "good, acceptable, and perfect"...?<< Previous | Index | Next >>

His presence in the manager's box had been noticed and his coming to the greenroom expected.
An appointment was made in the greenroom of Drury Lane Theatre.
When I was playing the piano once in the greenroom at the Queen's Theater, he came in and listened.
There was no one in the greenroom now save Fauchery and himself.
The greenroom was frequented by nobility and men of genius; among these were Mr. Fox and the Earl of Derby.
He has committed all of Heine to memory and in the greenroom reads Sanscrit.
With this speech, the manager strode out of the greenroom toward the stage.
But the more I think of her visit to the greenroom, the more inexplicable it appears to me.
The playgoers heard the bell ring, and left the greenroom to take their places again.
Consequently his habits were not too good, and he haunted the greenroom of the opera.

The Catacombs Club
Location: Temple Street, Wolverhampton
Date: 1967 - 1974
The Catacombs was an upstairs venue, based in an old lead smelting works. It was
a long, narrow venue, based around a long, bare-brick walled corridor, with arched alcoves
where the furnaces used to be and a bar on the right, and the dance floor at the far end.
It had a capacity of 500-600 and ran initially from 8-12, allnighters being introduced
in the early seventies.
The significance of the Catacombs in the history of Northern Soul cannot be understated. It was the policy of the Catacombs to discover and popularise unknown soul rarities, and if it were not for the hours that it opened, it could have easily have surpassed the Twisted Wheel as the premier venue of the early 70s. As it was, the Catacombs discovered the sounds and the Wheel and the Torch exposed them to the masses. And as if to have the final say, the Catacombs outlasted both the Wheel and the Torch, finally closing in July 1974.
The venue started playing rare soul in 1967, and the DJ at the time was Alan S (Smith)
who was relatively new to the scene. He was joined by "Farmer" Carl Dene (Carl Woodroffe). Farmer Carl had been
a collector of rare soul since 1964, regularly visiting the soul haven of the time, The
Diskery, on a regular basis; he was also credited as one of the first people to cover-up
records. Farmer Carl was responsible for breaking many famous classics, one of note being
"That Beating Rhythm" by Richard Temple. Nobody believed the record existed, assuming it
to be a cover-up, due to the "Temple" link with the Temple Street venue. As well as "I'll Do Anything" by Doris Troy, perhaps Farmer
Carl's biggest claim to fame is his ability to promote chart sucess. His exposure of
"I'm Gonna Run Away From You" by Tami Lynn caused the record to be re-released, and it
reached No.4 in the UK in May, 1971. And it didn't stop there... "Hey Girl Don't Bother Me",
by the Tams was another record championed by Farmer Carl, which was picked up on by
Peter Powell, the Radio One DJ, who brought it onto the radio. It eventually reached
Number 1.
When Farmer Carl left the Catacombs, Alan S was joined by "Major" Robert Crocker, and together they formulated a very sucessful partnership, travelling far and wide to locate new sounds. Together they opened a record shop, and one day, on the way to Leicester to purchase new stock, the pair were involved in a car accident, and Bob Crocker was sadly killed. Alan S was confined to hospital for 3 months.
|While Alan recuperated, Mick "Froggy" Taylor took over, as was soon joined by "Blue" Max Millward and Graham Warr. The club prospered, closing briefly in 1972 for refurbishment, but continuing on it's mission to discover bigger and better sounds. Consider the following list of records that are credited by various sources as having been launched at the Catacombs:
It's always best to have a venue described by someone who was there. Here are some
great memories from Graham "Mif" Smith from Wolverhampton:
I still have my last Pink membership card 1973-1974. It's dated July 1973 and I was member number 89. What a place this was, the bare walls of the corridors would become wet with the condensation as everyone packed in to enjoy Blue Max and Pep's latest 'finds'. I remember placing my new cassette tape recorder in the dance floor area to tape all the sounds. Still got those tapes too, you can hear the atmosphere. I would visit the Torch too, a much bigger venue, so for me it never held the same 'feelings' as the Cats. What I remember most was the rush for the floor when one of the 'tunes' of the day were played; "Ski-ing In The Snow". "Blowing My Mind To Pieces". Such brilliant tunes. Well, I have just had birthday number 50, but get that Northern Soul on the decks and I will dance yer pants off (much to the embarrassment of my kids). Wifey and I still visit NS clubs in our area but nothing, nothing can come anywhere near those Cats days.
In 1973, Alan S left the Catacombs, to be replaced by Ian "Pep" Pereira, and Alan Day joined
the team briefly. Once the Torch closed, the Catacombs reigned supreme, until the impact
of Wigan Casino was felt. In 1974, the Catacombs closed due to the redevelopment
of the premises, going out with a bang with the hottest allnighter on record, with an attendance
of over twice the legal fire limit!
Don't forget, if you know anything more about the Catacombs, let me know!
Here's a bit of interesting stuff from Dave Krynski, by email:
Hi. Regarding your article on the Catacombs, Wolverhampton. Do you realise that the Black & White photo shown on your Hinckley Soul Club page is actually 'The Pied Bull' pub on the corner of Temple Street, and not the Catacombs Club? The club itself was actually about halfway down the street on the left hand side of the road. Little could be seen from outside, just a couple of wooden doors with 'safety glass' panels and a battered perspex sign jutting out into the road above.
I was a regular at the 'Cats', and still have tapes of the last 'niter along with various photographs/memorabilia etc. (Those used in 'The In-Crowd' book on Northern Soul are mostly mine). In fact I was at Neil Rushton's 'Catacombs Revival' night only last Saturday, mainly to say hello to Carl Dene and Blue Max! Regards, Dave K.

The undergraduate accounting degree has traditionally been recognized as one of the premier accounting degrees in the country. The top-ranked Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) accounting program provides students with a broad overall education, solid grounding in the common body of knowledge of business administration, and exposure to accounting in sufficient depth to help them achieve entry-level competence for pursuit of a career in public accounting, government or industry.
Accounting coursework covers:

The legendary voice behind the viral video "Crazy Nastyass Honeybadger," Randall, was in town Monday on the campus of Depaul University to promote his new book (what else?): Honeybadger Dont Care: Randall's Guide to Crazy, Nastyass Animals. Apparently word reached him about our grass-roots efforts to independently fund a major festival, "Jamboree" via http://Q101Jamboree.com and he decided to lend his considerable voice to our efforts.
Or skewer it, and us.
We still haven't decided. It's hard to tell with a mercurial talent like Randall. He's an enigma. He's a prima donna. He's many things…but one thing is for sure: He takes whatever he wants. He doesn't give a shit.
So, Randall, you are hereby invited to Jamboree 2012! We have saved a seat for you next to Tay Zonday, Antoine Dodson, Keenen Cahill, and the "Leave Britney Alone" dude. We hope you can make it!
If you haven't seen Randall's take on "Jamboree," here goes, well, somethin'. Please be advised Randall pulls no punches and despite his somewhat sassy voice, his language is salty enough to make a longshoreman blush. DO NOT get busted watching this at work and blame us for it. Also, DO NOT let your 3 year old, or even your 10 year old, hear this and then come blaming us. You have been warned!

How is it treated?
Your child's doctor may refer you to a physical therapist or an orthopedic surgeon (bone and joint doctor).
Congenital muscular torticollis is typically treated with stretching and positioning. You'll need to perform these exercises on your baby several times a day. The moves aren't complicated, but make sure you understand them and are comfortable doing them before you leave the doctor's or physical therapist's office.
If your baby has muscular torticollis, you'll want to provide as many opportunities as possible for her to turn her head to the side that she normally doesn't turn to. If she has trouble turning her head to the right, for example, you could lay her on the changing table so you're standing at her right side. And position her in the crib so she has to look to her right to see anyone approaching her.
It's also important to give your baby plenty of time on her tummy when she's awake, to help develop the muscles in her neck.
How long does it take to see results?
As long as your baby's muscular torticollis is discovered early enough – ideally by the age of 2 or 3 months – and you're following the prescribed stretching program, you'll probably see improvement within weeks. The condition should be fully corrected by age 1.
If, however, the muscles don't return to their normal length and your baby doesn't have a normal range of motion by the time she's 18 months old, your doctor may refer you to an orthopedic surgeon, who may recommend surgery to lengthen the muscles. Surgery is performed in about 15 percent of cases.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hi Pea:) I usually recommend spaying after the pups are weaned and the mammary glands aren't producing milk any more and they've gone back to a semblance of normal. They're usually still larger than a female who hasn't had pups but if you spay her when they're still really pendulous, they don't tend to shrink back up as much, if that makes sense.So, probably any time now. Each vet is different, though, as to when they prefer to perform this procedure after whelping so you might give a quick call to your vet and ask them if they have a preference.Deb
All is good Shay back to normal almost and puppies amazing .. First VAC tomorrow .. I'll still wait till she has gotten 100% back to normal and have her desexed .. :-) thank you again for amazing service and helping me rest knowing and understandings what's happening to my babies. :-)

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
As his hulking bodyguards hoisted his gold-plated wheelchair over the threshold of a swank new Hustler Hollywood store back in December of '06, a crowd of 200-plus greeted porn magnate Larry Flynt with the sort of spontaneous chant usually reserved for the likes of Jerry Springer or Howard Stern: "Lar-ry, Lar-ry, Lar-ry!" Little old ladies and Iraqi war vets. Truck drivers and Scottsdale hotties. Reporters and pimp daddies. All there to press the great man's sagging flesh and celebrate the grand opening of an idea: A sex shop as gleaming and stylish as a Nordstrom, as hip and trendy as an Urban Outfitters, but with sections devoted to kinky lingerie and vinyl bustiers, adult books and novelties, vibrators, and XXX-rated DVDs.
On one wall of the 10,000-square-foot orange-and-cream themed erotic emporium read the store's motto, "Relax... it's only sex." And while Flynt signed books and body parts, it was clear that the reason folks were so enthused was that Flynt had brought a touch of Hollywood decadence to Sand Land, and made that decadence as uncontroversial as an ice cream parlor, though no less titillating in the process. Even more than the magazines and the books that Flynt's Hustler empire mass-produces, the Hustler Hollywood stores are his ultimate triumph over America's prudes. Somewhere, Jerry Falwell's 300-pound corpse is rolling over. Of this, you can be sure.
We've been shopping at ABC Baking for years, and have yet to walk in the place and not have our deepest wish fulfilled and we have some odd wishes, including a need for pink bakery boxes in assorted sizes, sugar violets, and tiny plastic ballerinas that dance on the tops of cupcakes. If you're a serious baker, you're in luck these folks know what they're doing, and will provide you with all the hard-core tools of the trade, from pastry tubes to cake pans in shapes you never imagined. This year, we had a special desire for sprinkles (see our cover) and we knew right where to go. ABC has an entire section devoted to nothing but both the nonpareil and sugar varieties, in every hue imaginable. As you noticed, we chose classic rainbow.
This candy company doesn't sell prickly pear jellies or candy rocks. (Thank goodness have you ever tried to eat a candy rock?) They're much more creative than that. Instead, you can order small bags of treats, including Arizona Great Fruits (hard candies in citrus flavors), Margaritas on the Rocks (flavored like tequila, lime, and salt) and Hot Chocolate (again, hard candy, flavored with New Mexico chile, chocolate, and vanilla). Our personal favorites are the Fortune Tamales, cinnamon candies wrapped like tamales, including "spicy sayings" in Spanish and English. All clever twists on old favorites, but not too icky sweet. Yummy!
Finally a place where we can let our chocolate freak flags fly, and nobody will give us a funny look. On the contrary, it's de rigueur to gush about cacao confections here, and the more exotic, the better. The proprietors are so enthusiastic that they're like gourmet chocolate cheerleaders. How about the marzipan filled with rum and spiced poached black mission figs, dipped in chocolate, and encrusted with crushed almonds? It's divine. Dark chocolate filled with caramel and sprinkled with pink sea salt? Exquisite. Or the lavender and peppercorn-infused dark chocolate ganache with candied violet petals? Totally freakin' mind-blowing. (Okay, that last one is our description, not theirs.) With about 270 individual pieces of chocolate from more than a dozen artisan chocolatiers plus the biggest selection of fancy chocolate bars we've ever seen this bonbon-sized boutique is just the place to go to break out of your Hershey's shell.
Chocoholics, take note: The shop just moved from Scottsdale to Phoenix, where it reopens in early October.
There are lots of ways to satisfy your craving for sweet/salty (and don't act like you don't know what we're talking about), but our favorite is with a caramel-dipped, chocolate-covered pretzel rod from Granny's. We've spotted Granny's rods at Starbucks in Seattle and closer to home, at MADE art boutique and at Granny's quaint HQ in Gilbert where, if you're particularly kind to the owners, you might just get a behind-the-scenes tour. We've seen the vat they heat that caramel in, and let's just say we wouldn't be surprised if lives have been lost. We're here to tell you, it's well worth the sacrifice.
Falling for the gelato at Arlecchino is kind of like finding religion.
At first, you try to be rational. (There are new gelato places cropping up all over town. I can find gelato a lot closer to home.)
Then, some healthy skepticism kicks in. (What's all the fuss? How can it really be that good?)
Pretty soon, you admit that you're curious. (Man, my friends won't shut up about Arlecchino. I think I need to try it.)
You educate yourself. (Wow. Arlecchino's owner trained with a gelato master in Italy, and he makes every pan of gelato from scratch...) Next, you do some soul-searching. (Chocolate, pistachio, or strawberry?
Finally, you take a leap of faith, and dig in. Within a bite or two, the potent flavors and dense, creamy texture overwhelm your taste buds. You've never tasted gelato this good anywhere, ever. It's so delicious, it's almost hard to explain the sensation. Like fireworks, or ecstasy, or... (Heaven!)

A look at the opening day fixtures
Accrington v Ramsbottom
Accrington play their third game of a busy weekend as they begin their defence. Pro Ockert Erasmus has made an impact on the training field. Stuart Crabtree leads a team including Graham Lloyd.
Ramsbottom are much changed from last season with Steve Dearden and son Harry just two of several departures. Rob Read skippers a side that includes the ever dangerous Jon Fielding.
Donlan says: Accrington
Bacup v Enfield
New skipper Matt Thompson leads a Bacup side that is without the departed Joe McLuskie and Jack McGregor but stalwart Tim Farragher plays and former skipper David Warren is also back.
Pace bowler Ben Dowling returns to Enfield after his spell with Great Harwood and St Annes and Liam Bedford is also back at the club while classy Werner Coetsee has returned as professional.
Donlan says: Enfield
Haslingden v Burnley
Chris Holt makes his league debut as Burnley pro and skipper Bharat Tripathi can also call on former Gloucestershire and Glamorgan ace David Brown but Lancashire Colt Cole Hayman is unavailable.
New captain Phill Hayes has named a squad of 12 for the first league game of the season and former skipper Graham Knowles is very much part of that but pro Brenton Parchmant is having visa issues and Ashar Zaidi fills in.
Donlan says: Burnley
Lowerhouse v Church
New professional Cobus Pienaar takes his bow for Lowerhouse as Charlie Cottam bids to reclaim the title. Jonathan Finch is also back in the frame and named in a 13-man squad.
Craig Fergusson's Church are close to full strength for the trip to the Neville Gee Recruitment Ground and wicketkeeper Sam Tucker should be fit despite an eye injury.
Donlan says: Lowerhouse
Nelson v East Lancashire
Neil Thompson fields a much-changed Nelson side as they begin their campaign minus a host of familiar faces but pace ace Sam Halstead is back in the Seedhill picture after returning from Ramsbottom.
East Lancashire have high hopes for their 150th anniversary season. Mark Bolton is back as captain and Chris Riley has returned to the club from Leigh. Ex-Edenfield quick bowler Shahrukh Khan is also in.
Donlan says: Nelson
Rishton v Rawtenstall
Rishton skipper Shaun Hutchinson leads what he hopes will be a settled side this time around and new pro Matt Hulett has already impressed while Abdu Biswoodall is a matchwinner.
Rawtenstall could be dark horses this time around and Keith Roscoe will once again begin a season needing three more five-wicket hauls for 100. Brett Pelser returns as professional.
Donlan says: Rawtenstall
Todmorden v Colne
The explosive pace of Aussie quick Michael Neser is unleashed on the Lancashire League as Todmorden kick off at home hoping for a season free of injuries after last year's troubles.
Colne have troubles of a different kind but aim to put their off-field problems beind them. Andy Hakin could be key while another new man Tom Bradshaw is also capable of shining.
Donlan says: Todmorden


text: Hello! It's my first post. Please excuse for my English, it's not my native language. I have an audi 80 B4 2.0E 85 KW digifant injection. I bought the car 7 month ago. I noticed from the begining the car performance is poor than expected. Last week I opened the air box, i cleaned the air guide from the air flow meter. I also put some spray on the air sensor. After that I cleaned the big air hose from MAF to the throttle valve. Then I have cleaned the throttle valves as much as I could because I could not get the throttle valve adapter out from the intake manifold. I putt all the parts clean and then I started the engine. It started well from the first attempt but the iddle was not good. The engine was stalling at iddle speed. I have checked for vacum leaks but I found nothing. Then I had an ideea. I started the engine again, keeping accelerating a little bit and my brother took out the socket from the idling stabilisation valve while the engine was running. Then I have noticed that the idling speed was ok. I took the car for a ride to see if there is a difference. I was very dissapointed. The performance was very very poor, as the speed of 60 MPH was very difficult to achieve. Today I took out the ISV (idling stabilisation valve ) and I put some cleaning solution inside it and I hope I will get a better idling speed. Somehow I think the problem is from the throttle valve adapter that I've cleaned but who knows if i am right. Do you have any idea? I made some pictures with all parts that I cleaned so if someone want to see them I can sent them by e-mail. Once again, sorry for my poor English.

The Fourth Way transcends assimilation, resignation, and conflict by building partnerships with all nations and peoples.
The Four Worlds International Institute (FWII) was established in 1982, at the University of Lethbridge, by Indigenous elders, spiritual leaders and community members from across Canada and the US.
FWII is an internationally recognized leader in holistic human, community and economic development because of the Institute's unique focus on the importance of culture and spirituality in all elements of development. During the past 32 years FWII has worked extensively with Indigenous Peoples across the Americas and SE Asia.
The past four years a primary focus of FWII'S North American work is stopping the Alberta Tar Sands through supporting direct action, innovative social media approaches and actualizing International Treaties between Indigenous Nations. These efforts include: The International to Protect the Sacred from Tar Sands Projects, the International Treaty to Protect the Salish Sea and the Nawt-sa-maat Alliance.
In June, 2013, FWII officially opened the Four Worlds Foundation (FWF) at the City of Knowledge, Panama City, Panama. FWF serves as an international organizing and educational Hub for actualizing the Reunion of the Condor, Quetzal, and Eagle via the Fourth Way across the Americas and beyond! This unification effort, initiated in 1970 in Bolivia, was crystalized at the 5th Indigenous Summit of the Americas in Panama City, Panama in April, 2015, held in parallel with the 7th Summit of the Americas.
Dear Beloved Friends and Relatives,
As always, it is my hope and prayer that you and your beloved ones are in the very best of health and happiness and that 2016 will be your best year ever.
Our heartfelt and loving welcome and thanksgiving to all the relatives past, present and future for sharing and learning together in our Four Worlds International Community. Your Sisterhood, Brotherhood and Friendship is deeply appreciated!
May the links above be doorways to further inspiration, illumination,wisdom, sharing, love, unity and understanding. Your sharing of information, insights wisdom and feedback is greatly appreciated, as well!

For all the people of the earth, the Creator has planted a Sacred Tree under which they may gather, and there find healing, power, wisdom, and security. The roots of this tree spread deep into the body of Mother Earth. Its branches reach upward like hands praying to Father Sky. The fruits of this tree are the good things the Creator has given to the people: Teachings that show the path to love, compassion, generosity, patience, wisdom, justice, courage, respect, humility, and many other wonderful gifts.
The Ancient Ones taught us that the life of the Tree is the life of the people. If the people wander far away from the protective shadow of the Tree, if…

Executive Summary
Given the present conditions in most Canadian First Nations, it is clear that merely tinkering with or adjusting the Canadian social security system has not, and will not, work. Aboriginal welfare reform will need to begin by re-conceptualizing what social security means for Aboriginal people. The role of a social security system can no longer be the provision of stop-gap programs and services for a small group of disadvantaged people, but rather must be conceived of as a comprehensive approach to building well-being and prosperity for all.
When looked at in this way, the…Continue

CIO: I understand retail outlets are still selling Prudence, but you have chosen not to improve the package to make it competitive with similar tools. Why?
Barrows: I've lost interest in developing tools like Prudence because they are being used in ways I don't like. There are companies that are installing software like this to spy on their own employees. There are parents who are using it to spy on their children and wives using it to spy on their husbands and vice versa. I never intended Prudence to be a tool for people to use to spy on each other. Maybe the FBI has a right to spy on people -- maybe it doesn't -- but I don't want to be part of it.
Why then did you develop Prudence in the first place?
At the time, there was a lot of debate about kids having easy access to pornography sites on the Web, and I wanted to do something about it. My idea was not to filter stuff, which is akin to censorship, but to allow a parent to see what their child was doing and to say to their children, "I have the ability to monitor you; here are the rules and if you don't follow the rules, I have the ability to restrict your access to the Internet." I thought parents would use it responsibly. But what I'm finding is that parents are spying on their kids and not telling them. And I totally disagree with that.
So if you're not upgrading Prudence, will it become obsolete? And can your company afford that?
Yes to both questions. Prudence is losing in the competitive battle because there are other products out there that are more upgraded. And that's fine with me. I've moved on to develop different business products. For instance, I've launched one Internet startup that is an e-commerce site that sells boating supplies online, and I am starting another software company whose product allows digital movies to be streamed into hotel rooms. It's not like I'm running a multimillion-dollar business that depends on one software package. This is a small business, and because it's my own, I can make decisions that tie in with my own personal ethics.

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?

Drought - April 2005
NCEI added Alaska climate divisions to its nClimDiv dataset on Friday, March 6, 2015, coincident with the release of the February 2015 monthly monitoring report. For more information on this data, please visit the Alaska Climate Divisions FAQ.
U.S. Drought Highlights:
- On the national scale, severe to extreme drought affected about 6 percent of the contiguous United States as of the end of April 2005.
- Moderate to extreme drought affected about 10 percent of the contiguous U.S.
- April was the second wetter-than-normal month across parts of the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies, following a string of four very dry months.
- The month was drier than normal in the southern Plains and parts of the Great Lakes.
- Long-term moisture deficits (last 24 to 36 to 60 months) persisted across much of the West into the northern High Plains and central Plains.
Please Note: The data presented in this drought report are preliminary. Ranks, anomalies, and percent areas may change as more complete data are received and processed.
National Overview
On the national scale,
- severe to extreme drought affected about 6 percent of the contiguous United States as of the end of April 2005, a decrease of about 2 percent compared to last month
- about 10 percent of the contiguous U.S. fell in the moderate to extreme drought categories (based on the Palmer Drought Index) at the end of April
- on a broad scale, the previous two decades (1980s and 1990s) were characterized by unusual wetness with short periods of extensive droughts, whereas the 1930s and 1950s were characterized by prolonged periods of extensive droughts with little wetness
- about 22 percent of the contiguous U.S. fell in the severely to extremely wet categories at the end of April
- a file containing the national monthly percent area severely dry and wet from 1900 to present is available
- historical temperature, precipitation, and Palmer drought data from 1895 to present for climate divisions, states, and regions in the contiguous U.S. are available at the Climate Division: Temperature-Precipitation-Drought Data page in files having names that start with "drd964x" and ending with "txt" (without the quotes).
Regional Overview
April was the second wetter than normal month across parts of the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies, following a string of four very dry months. The month was drier than normal in the southern Plains and parts of the Great Lakes.
The April precipitation pattern at the primary stations in Alaska was mixed and drier than average for Hawaii. In Puerto Rico, most of the island had much above-normal rainfall during April, based on National Weather Service radar estimates of precipitation. This is in contrast to recent moisture shortages across the island. April streamflow averaged near normal for Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Long-term moisture deficits persisted in many areas. Six-month dryness was evident for parts of the Southeast. The Pacific Northwest experienced its seventh driest November-April on record this year, which is a continuation of dry conditions that started some six to seven years ago.
The southwestern U.S. has been very wet during the winter and early spring though long-term deficits remain across parts of the Southwest, most of the West, and much of the central to northern Plains. These are reflected in the end of April U.S. Drought Monitor map. The Southwest has recovered at the 12 to 24 month timescales, but still shows dryness in some parts at the 36 to 60 month timescales.
Some regional highlights:
- Two states (ND, OK) had the tenth driest, or drier, February-April (most recent 3 months) on record.
- Three states (WA, OR, ND) had the tenth driest, or drier, November-April (most recent 6 months) on record.
- End-of-month and monthly averaged soil moisture conditions were drier than normal across parts of the northern Rockies and northern High Plains, the central Plains, the Pacific Northwest, and the coastal Southeast, based on model computations (CPC-1, CPC-2, MRCC). The models also indicated dry soil moisture conditions in eastern Alaska and near the surface and at depth across parts of the central Plains to the Great Lakes.
- Streamflow levels were below seasonal norms across much of the Pacific Northwest and parts of the northern Rockies, northern and central Great Plains, both as computed by models and based on USGS observations.
- The overall circulation pattern during this wet season has resulted in a sharp north-to-south contrast of the snow water content of the western mountain snowpack. Basin-averaged end-of-April snowpacks in parts of Arizona, Nevada, central California and Utah were above average, while snowpacks in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and the east slopes of the northern Rockies were significantly below average. This pattern is also apparent in basin-averaged water-year-to-date precipitation anomalies. Snowpack conditions in Alaska were generally above normal in the interior regions, below normal in coastal areas.
- Reservoir levels in the West reflected the abundance (Arizona) or lack (many other states) of precipitation, or preventative actions taken by water managers in anticipation of summer shortfalls (Washington). The percent area of the western U.S. (Rockies westward) experiencing moderate to extreme drought (as defined by the Palmer Drought Index) decreased from about 67% in July 2004 to under 10% by October. Intensification of drought in the Pacific Northwest (November, December, January, February, March, April) resulted in an expansion of the western drought area to about 26% by the end of February. Near- to above-normal precipitation from storms during the last several months in the Pacific Northwest brought the western area coverage down to near 20% by the end of April.

petrella90 replied to petrella90's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingCurrently, I have a reciever hooked up to the amp, using cell phone, ipod etc through the phone jack.

I was young—very young!—but I still remember the canonization of Pope Pius X. It was in 1954, the year I made my First Communion; and he was a strong proponent of frequent Holy Communion, especially for children. I am certain that it was the first time I'd ever heard that very big word, "canonization"—and it stuck in my head and in my heart.

I guess the good news is that they don't hate us for our freedom anymore.
Austrian plane search for leaker Snowden enrages Bolivia
Go to sleep Marc everyone else has, about 7 years ago.
Speak for yourself! Nighty night!
Obama is more of a threat to humanity, justice and democracy then Snowden will ever be!
Just in terms of innocent people murdered (droned)…
Is this why people elected Obama, NO!
The authority about Bolivian cuban proxies hath spoken.
I think this is a subject you reaaaaally know nothing about, so act accordingly.
Oh sad pathetic pedro, here you are again ever the fool.
nu pedro, old pedro, it's still just pathetic loser pedro on the troll.
pedro proves yet again, ignorance (or some brain wasting disease) knows no bounds.
Ever a clown, ever the clown!
I do find our talks very entertaining!
So, enlighten us in the Bolivian subject, since you seem to be an expert on it.
C'mon, share your "knowledge"
If you are worth your weight in a "bag-o-S"; quote exactly where in this thread, I so claimed subject matter expertize?
With that, oh dull one, maybe then I shall answer your question?
Evading the subject. Figures.
No surprise there!
Yes poor child-minded pedro, figures you are unable to support you claims!
Everyone finds no surprise there!
It so easy to make a fool of pedro, it's fun!
🙂 🙂
Yes nobrain, is me the one looking like a fool. Keep telling yourself that
Well pedro, I am glad you realized your folly and agreed with me; indeed you do look and act foolishly! Well, it must be you took your brain pills today!
I don't need to say more.
I am glad to see you are back to your old habit of name calling, "nobrain". Oh that hurts, really it hurts, did I say how that hurts, and oh the pain….oh the agony…pedro called me a name, boo hoo!
It was 6/4 when Uncle D issued his warning. It doesn't take you long to break your promises.
Further, it's funny how others here have repeatably turned on you; especially, when you think you are on their bandwagon!
I'll try not to Stomp `N' Twist on your cranial fungus ridden toes during our inevitable ongoing Do-si-do!
You started insulting people the day after. You have absolutely no word whatsoever. And you dare to call me out? Idiot!
pedro ever the hypocrite coward, show me your example/proof of me "name calling" on 6/5.
In fact, you still persisted with your personal attacks such that Uncle Dave again intervened, warning you!
Uncle Dave 6/5/2013 at 3:40 pm!
HEY!!!! You're supposed to link to articles that flesh these headlines out. While heavily multi-tasking ((code for using more than just my right hand)) I've heard that Obama did it, then I heard that a few European states simply denied a aircraft they thought Snowden was in passage thru their air space. So, was this guy on THAT airplane or were there more than one flight involved?
I'm not going to go google it.
You Eds are getting AS lazy as us……. not a good thing.
HINT: I'll check back in a few for the missing link.
People have been hunting the 'missing link' for years.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
I -DO- help myself.
Well Done.
Always best to see the humor in things.
Don't worry about people elsewhere hating you. The 96% of the planet that is not the USA mostly either does not give a s**t about the people in the US (the same as your government) or considers them as fellow human beings (which is not done by very many governments about their subjects).
Now there are plenty people that are not too fond of your government but I get the idea that that is a pretty popular attitude in your general population.
Welcome to Imperial Rome. Consider how many commenters sound just like plebeian citizens.
Sorry for suggesting an historical analogy that may require reading.
I am thinking how useful it would be to start a WH petition to impeach Obama!
Latest from Reuters:
Here is a link to an AP story on this
Nowhere does either story explain how refusing overflight requests or even searching the plane when on the ground in Austria is "Kidnapping". Nor does either offer the slightest evidence that any of this was done at the direction of the US administration.
It wasn't done because O'Mama requested it.
It was done because the NSA's wiretaps have revealed some facts that the French gummint would rather keep quiet, so they caved.
It just shows just how powerful your agency really is when you can coerce a third party, France, into some pretty, uh, drastic and extremely undiplomatic action detaining the president of a foreign country, Bolivia, boarding his plane and searching it for someone who isn't there. (And what would they have done if he was there? Shot the all and called it a faulty landing?)
Obama bombed Libya at France's request. They owe him.
"It just shows just how powerful your agency really is when you can coerce a third party, France, into some pretty, uh, drastic and extremely undiplomatic action detaining the president of a foreign country, Bolivia, boarding his plane and searching it for someone who isn't there"
The plane did not land in France.
The plane was not searched by the French.
France did not detain the Bolivian leader.
All the French MAY have done is deny the Bolivian plane overflight rights, and that is only on the word of the Bolivians. According to the French , they gave permission for the overflight Tuesday and again on Wednesday. Same deal with Spain saying that gave permission for overflight and refueling stop in the Canary Islands for Tuesday and again on Wednesday.
The only thing that the Bolivians and other countries seem to agree on is that the plane landed in Austria, spent the nite there and flew out again on Wednesday. The Austrians say the Bolivian President agreed to a voluntary inspection of the plane before it departed just before noon Wednesday.
And he had to land anyway because "his" plane (not his really, it is a venezuelan plane) is a measle Falcon 900 EX without autonomy (5,180 miles) to fly from Russia to Bolivia in one go.
Nor does either offer the slightest evidence that any of this was done at the direction of the US administration.
Nor was there the slightest evidence that Prism was a reality either . . . until there was.
I guess we need whistleblowers to tell us the truth from now on. Our gubmint sure ain't gonna tell us.
So we should simply believe the statements of Bolivian diplomatic spokespeople and disregard the statements of every other countries spokespersons because of…. Why?
While we are at it, I guess we should believe every statement from from North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, Israel, Egypt, etc and not even bother to ask for any type of evidence, proof, or confirmation. They have certainly never lied (dripping sarcasm).
Considering the purpose of the search . . . you doubt where it originated from?
Well there went any good will left after Obama trod on the same US constitution that Bush-Cheney wiped their asses with.
"Lets spy on everybody, and keep it a secret."
Everybody would have been much happier with it if it hadn't been for that last keep it a secret part.
NSA must stand for Nut-job Secretive Assholes.
"I guess the good news is that they don't hate us for our freedom anymore."
Note to Eiditor, that's how you do commentary!
Sure, that ignorant indian is a threat to no one.
Hey Pedro—given we are all more ignorant than informed, what is this indian ignorant about that deserves your hanging that label on him?
The only thing I read about him that I remember is that he is of native stock which is quite unusual for an elected political leader anywhere in South America?
Forget how he accomplished that. Just filling in to say he implemented extensive land reforms and welfare programs and so forth.
Whats the Beef?
I was about to answer you, but I'll hold a bit until noname regales us with his vast knowledge on the subject.
Don't worry, I'll be forced to answer you shortly.
i like turtles.
Why, tell us about them turtles Tim!
Well, ok. But only because I'm under duress.
What made him win that label? I don't know, that he's a low-double-digit IQ idiot?
I can see that the cuban history revisionism has caught up with you, what with you claiming that he's done some "social programs". As if he's the only person in the region who has done that.
If you haven't heard, the political technique is called populism and latin american politicians an experts on that technique. The thing I dislike the most about Obomba is how much of a populist he is and yet he's just a kid compared to anyone in latin america.
On top of that, the ignorant indian doesn't do anything not sanctioned by havana and funded by venezuela. The plane he's flying around is the perfect example: it was "given" by chavez at the behest of castro.
If there's anyone anti Obomba here is me, but trying to belittle him by comparing him with someone with far less scruples than the lowest street gang member in the US, you're doing nothing more than helping Obomba.
Maybe that's your strategy
If I were the Pres of a poor country and other countries offered to give me a plane to fly around in…. I'd take it.
Where is the stupidity here regarding this indian except in your tangent to an anti-Obama screed?
Can you get on point and be relevant?
Because it was not a choice, it was an order
Notice to 2 bit countries : Don't fuck with Obama ! That goes to the President of Venezuela where I bet he will be granted asylum.
Snowden should have accepted the deal from his comrade, Putin. Now he's pretty much fucked.
He'll be granted asylum there if the cuban overlords decide so; or did you fail to notice the cubana de aviacion plane he was using?. Just as it happens with Ecuador & Bolivia, all pawns of the same masters.
Omg. Good reply! You didn't say ass or dildo .
Proud of you.
Ass. Dildo. 3-d Printers. What? you patents in danger?
If you're trying to emulate Pedro, you're doing an OK job but he's moved on. That stupid reply was so 2012.
Those damned dirty not-us countries got a muscle they been hidin' up their sleeve…
If only I could say the same thing about you…
Palantir called, They said your personna management software is no longer genuine. You will no longer recieve patch-tuesday critical updates to the shillification routine. Please delete the package from your system.

I think you're on meth or you clicked the wrong window to reply to a screwed up order. Keep your blogging off the work PC or your high school boss is gonna find out.
Yea, we were learning how to use a soldering iron today to make wedding rings out of pennies and wire; I pointed out that it's not copper inside, but zinc. And that zinc makes redy-made bullets with the low heat of a stove. I'm a terrorist. It is just what I do.
The problem with *meth*, these days, is trying to teach all the so-called 'cooks' how to make lye out of salt water… They can not understand the relevance of a 'salt-bridge' so what they end up with is lots of chlorox.
It's also not ideal for making soap out of lye and fat to fuck up so badly.
God Damn, Dallas; You are not really very good at this, are you? My kibitz-bot is better at it.
If I might borrow a redicuously stupid sign-off from bobbo,
yea, verily.
HA!!!! I say HA!!!!!
ALL my sobriquets and bon mots are of infinite meaning and beauty placed before you in my private reverie for their own intrinsic beauty. No better polish than their utility in usage.
…. but I dither.
The modern French spelling is sobriquet. The first form suggests derivation from sot, foolish, and the second form, briquet, is a French adaptation of Italian brichetto, diminutive of bricco, ass, knave, possibly connected with briccone, rogue, which is supposed to be a derivative of Ger. brechen, to break; but Skeat considers this spelling to be an example of false etymology.
As you are not going with #1 and self-deprication is not self-evident with analysis of your previous posts … carry on!
Oh yea; Happy Fourth!!
"WOW! Obama just kidnapped the President of Bolivia!!!"
The people of Bolivia would be better off if they didn't pay the ransom.
You have no idea how much, but that guy is held in power not by himself but from cuban meddling with his secret service and the money cuba gives them from venezuela.
And the people here are upset because there might be indications that the US asked some EU countries a favor not to let them fly by.

Humans were cleansing with soapwort back in the stone age, so likely were in ancient Greece too. I suspect most of the oils listed in the OP were not used until relatively recently, have you tried extracting the oil from grapeseeds without modern machinery? If you want to be authentic use oils and butters that can be extracted using traditional 'cottage industry' type methods and contain fatty acids that can 'nourish' the scalp or hair - olive, palm fruit, shea butter and coconut oil for example. Mineral oil and petroleum jelly will just build up, not penetrate.

How the Dutch got their cycle paths
Posted by Kim under Cycling, Politics
[5] Comments
Ever wondered why it is that the Netherlands came to have such great transport infrastructure? I have, so I was pleased to find this wee video which explains how the Dutch got such a cycle friendly counrty.
Note that in 1971 the Netherlands suffered over 400 child deaths on the roads, that is about the same as the UK at that time, but as a result of this Dutch transport policy changed. This has brought the death rate for children on Dutch roads down to 14 in 2010. In the UK there were 55 children killed on British roads in 2010 (down from 81 in the year before, the UK stats are here), that is over four times the death rate of the Netherlands. Britain has one of the worst records in western Europe for child pedestrian safety (the most up to-date figures show the number of children Killed or seriously injured on UK roads in the year to June 2011 were 1650, 1% higher than the year before). So what is the British Government doing about it? Well, they are producing videos like this:
And this:
These videos are produced by the Department for Transport to give "tips and advice for 6-11 year olds" as part of their THINK! Road Safety campaign. Watching this stuff makes me think: "why are the British people not angry about the rate of child death on our roads?" This blame the victim approach to road safety is clearly far less effective than the Dutch harm reduction approach. Why are people not angry with a government department whose mission statement is "Our vision is for a transport system that is an engine for economic growth", and that considers this "economic growth" to be more important than the lives of British children? These car centric policies pose other threats to our children, as if the risk of being run over wasn't enough, British children are also prone to higher levels of asthma and obesity than the rest of Western Europe.
Why do we allow politicians in Britain to think of the lives of our children as being so cheap?
Addendum: Since this blog post was written, the number of vulnerable road users killed or seriously injured (KSIs) on Britain's roads has increased, at the same time the rate of physical activity and the general health of the population has decreased.

"the assumption is that roads are for cars and other road users should be kept out of the way or discouraged as far as possible."
This is in fact the actual principle at the basis of the Dutch infrastructure. Keep the different users apart wherever possible. The difference with the UK is that the Dutch built the additional infrastructure and the UK didn't.
UK is four times the size of the Netherlands, so the child death rate is roughly the same. It's certainly not bad enough to reprise the Stop de Kindermoord campaign.
Of course we've achieved that low death rate by not letting our children out on the streets, but any campaign has to focus on the positives of letting them out again, not exaggerate the death rate.
It's another matter in London, where the big roads have killed about a dozen (adult) cyclists so far this year.
The attitude locally is similar. When I suggested that reducing car journeys through the town may be good, I was told: "You can't do that, the shops will lose money"
It is remarkable how the car has infected our thinking, and how children and other people are considered to be 'the problem' whenever there's a conflict.

Amazon.com sellers complain of payment delays
SEATTLE — For many small merchants, selling on Amazon.com is an easy way to boost their business in a tough economy — if only they can get paid.
Dozens of online sellers complain that Seattle-based Amazon.com Inc. arbitrarily withholds their payments for as long as three months, jeopardizing their ability to replenish inventories and stay in business, according to a Seattle Times review of state records.
Sellers who say they've been hurt by this practice are the single most common source of complaints filed against Amazon with the Washington state attorney general's office in the past three years, The Times found.
All told, the attorney general's office received more than 370 complaints against Amazon, ranging from customers worried about their online privacy to game-application developers demanding better financial terms.
But about 40 percent of the complaints came from small merchants who use Amazon's Web platform to sell their products. And of those, three-fourths - nearly 120 sellers - complained that Amazon abruptly suspended or closed their accounts, tying up anywhere from several hundred dollars to more than $20,000.
In many cases, the world's largest Internet retailer stacked the deck against them by providing no real explanation or chance to appeal.
Jack Caruso, who owns a party and janitorial supplies store in Amherst, N.H., began selling on Amazon last year to reach new customers. But he complained to the attorney general's office in May after Amazon notified him via email that it had begun a review of his account and suspended his daily disbursements.
"Things are tight enough as it is," he said. "And then, all of a sudden, I have $30,000 sitting with Amazon, wondering if I'm ever going to get my money. It's not right."
Caruso, like many complainants, expressed frustration that Amazon did not explain the hold. Left to speculate, he believes it was because of a low number of online customer reviews, one of the many metrics Amazon uses to evaluate sellers.
"It's not my fault that 200-some-odd people don't want to give feedback. I've bought 50 or 60 items from Amazon and never once given any feedback. The average person just doesn't," he said.
"You try to talk some sense to them, and their attitude is, 'We have all the power.' "
Amazon, which declined to comment for this report, suggested to the attorney general's office that Caruso's hold was typical of what happens to sellers who suddenly do a lot of business without sufficient buyer feedback. It also encouraged Caruso to "send a friendly reminder to buyers requesting that they leave feedback."
The attorney general's office closed the books on Caruso's complaint, saying it lacked legal authority to force a resolution or to act as an attorney on his behalf.
Many sellers, noting the difficulties of defending themselves against vague or unstated allegations, described communications with Amazon as a one-way street.
"They won't even give you a last name," Caruso said. "How am I supposed to have a conversation with 'Chris F.?' "
Amazon requires sellers to accept a Participation Agreement that gives it "sole discretion" to withhold payments for up to 90 days if it believes their behavior could cause problems with customers. The agreement also excuses Amazon from liability and allows it to refuse service to "anyone for any reason."
Amazon is not alone in holding sellers' money. Rival eBay does the same thing, and Internet giant Google is known to ban advertisers without explanation.
In 2010, eBay sellers whose accounts were frozen filed a class-action lawsuit in Northern California, accusing payments processor and eBay subsidiary PayPal of breach of contract and unjust enrichment. But U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel ruled that PayPal's pact with sellers gave it broad discretion to freeze accounts without disclosing the reasons.
"You're talking about a black box," said plaintiff's lawyer Jeff Leon.
"You have people whose money is being held for no other reason than their behavior fell within a certain profile."
While Amazon sells many products itself, it relies on thousands of small merchants to expand its selection of everything from books and electronics to hardware and jewelry.
When customers buy from a third-party seller, Amazon processes their credit-card payments, then takes a cut of between 6 and 25 percent, depending on the product.
Experts say this enables Amazon to try out new product categories without the risk of surplus stock, shifting the financial burden to other sellers.

Rei Kawakubo, founder and head designer of Japanese label, Comme des Garcons, will be the guest designer for H&M's 2008 autumn collection. The collection will include everything from men's, women's, and children's clothing to accessories and even an exclusive unisex fragrance. The collection is set to launch in early November at the opening of H&M's second store in Tokyo, Japan, and it will hit other H&M stores a few days later.
Ever since Comme des Garcons' debut in 1981, Rei Kawakubo has been known for challenging the norms with her use of distressed fabrics, unfinished edges, asymmetrical cuts, and monochromatic tones. The collaboration will let H&M break into the Japanese/Harajuku market and compete with the dominating Uniqlo, both known for fashionable yet affordable clothing.
This collaboration will definitely be worth waiting for since it will be Comme des Garcon design at H&M prices.

Press Release
Comme des Garçons' founder and head designer Rei Kawakubo will create this autumn's guest designer collection at H&M. Rei Kawakubo, famous and admired for her creativity and artistry, will design a women's and a men's collection, with some pieces for children too. Accessories and an exclusive unisex fragrance will also be included in the collection.
"I have always been interested in the balance between creation and business. It is a dilemma, although for me creation has always been the first priority. It is a fascinating challenge to work with H&M since it is a chance to take the dilemma to its extreme, and try to solve it", says Rei Kawakubo, Comme des Garçons.
"Rei Kawakubo has been at the top of our wish list for a long time and we are thrilled that she has chosen to collaborate with us. We have tremendous respect for Kawakubo's fashion philosophy of questioning fashion's ingrained patterns, and admire her artistic approach to design. We are particularly excited that the collection will be launched in Japan, Kawakubo's native country, at the same time as the launch of our new store there", explains Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor, H&M.
The world launch of the collection will be at the opening of H&M's second store in Tokyo, Japan, in the beginning of November. Launch date for other H&M markets will be a few days later.
Comme des Garçons Ltd was established in 1973 as a company based on creativity and originality. Always pushing the frontiers of design and never accepting the status quo, Comme des Garcons now produces 14 different brands and employs nearly 700 people, with shops in over 25 countries.
H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB (H&M) was established in Sweden in 1947 and is synonymous with affordable as well as up-to-date and high quality fashion. H&M has a wide product range that is divided into a number of different concepts for women, men, teenagers, children and cosmetics. The company's clothing collections are created by its own designers, pattern makers and buyers. H&M has around 68,000 employees and over 1,500 H&M-stores in 28 countries.
