Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:59pm
Week 3 of the NCAA lacrosse season has been a blast and while there were not a large number of games played this past weekend there were several exciting upsets. Ohio State's win over No. 5 Denver was the highest profile upset, but Notre Dame's win over Duke and Loyola's win over Delaware were all indicative of the parity that exists in Division I lacrosse.
This week also saw the announcement of the Tewaaraton watch list (the long version) as well as several rookies in both men's and women's action getting their first noteworthy performances in. Players such as Schuss, Berg, Palmer, Magnan, Guy, Boissonneault, Cowx, Groothuis and Lachlan all had great games this past week. Here's my recap of the week that was in Division I lacrosse.
The Tewaaraton watch list for 2012 has been posted and there are eight Canadians who have made the long list. My understanding is that a second, short-list will come out at mid-season. The eight Canadians on the long list are as follows; Carter Bender – Hartford/Caledon, Travis Comeau – Georgetown/Red Deer, Shayne Jackson – Limestone/Bowmanville, Kiel Matisz – Robert Morris/Stoney Creek, Mark Matthews – Denver/Oshawa, Joel Matthews – Detroit/St Catharines, Bryan Neufeld – Siena/Virgil, Logan Schuss – Ohio State/Delta. Congrats to all eight of you and good luck!
In a game that featured two of the top "Canadian" flavored offences in the NCAA, un-ranked Ohio State defeated No. 5 Denver, 10-9, led in part by the 5-goal performance of Logun Schuss. Jesse King (Victoria) was also a factor with a goal and an assist while Mark Matthews had 2 goals and an assist for Denver and rookie Wes Berg (New Westminster) added 2 goals and an assist.
Hopkins started the season with a convincing 12-6 win over Towson with Zach Palmer (Oshawa) scoring 3 goals, 3 assists and adding a CT while Brandon Benn (Brampton) chipped in 2 goals and 2 GBs. Robert Morris continues to play well with a 10-8 victory over UMBC. Luc Magnan (Pine Falls) played a terrific game once again with 5 GBs and a CT while Jake Hayes (Calgary) had a goal and 2 assists and rookie Jacob Ruest (Cornwall) recorded his first NCAA goal.
North Carolina is also looking solid and Chad Tutton (Courtice) had a strong performance against Detroit, scoring 2 goals and 2 assists while grabbing a GB in an 18-8 win over Detroit. Joel Matthews (St Catharines) replied for Detroit with 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 GBs and a CT and Jordan Houtby (St Catharines) had 6 GBs and 4 CTs. Finally, Lehigh lost to Villanova this week but rookies Dan Taylor (Calgary) scored 2 goals and an assist while Patrick Corbett (Burlington) had a goal and an assist.
In Division I women's play there was several noteworthy performances. Penn State opened its season with a 19-3 win over Bucknell and Katie Guy (Whitby) scored a hat trick to go along with a GB and a CT. Virginia Tech also started its season with a win and talented rookie Jacqueline Boissonneault (Brooklin) was stellar with 2 goals, 3 GBs and a CT in her NCAA debut. Finally, Ohio State spanked Louisville, 21-7, but Janaye Dzikewich (Whitby) had a good outing for Louisville with 2 GBs and a CT.
Mars Hill had a great week with two big wins in Men's Division II action. In a 12-3 win over Lees-McRae, T.J. Cowx (Delta) scored twice, along with 2 assists while grabbing 5GB's and 3 CT's. Chris Cudmore (Whitby) added 8 GBs and CT while Anthony Malcolm (New Westminster) had 4 GBs.
In the second game, Mars Hill beat Florida Tech 17-3 with Cowx scoring 5 times and adding 2 assists and 2 GBs. Cudmore had 8 GBs and 3 CTs while Blake Mattinson (Coquitlam) added 2 goals, an assist and 4 GBs. Pfeiffer had a nice win over Coker with Luc Gillespie (Vancouver) scoring a goal while grabbing 6 GBs and a CT. James Sheppard (St John) was also strong for Pfeiffer with 2 goals, an assists and 2 GBs while Robert Hope (Peterborough) scored a goal and grabbed 6 GBs.
Catawba had a nice start to the season beating Coker, 12-6, as Braden Artem (Acton) had 3 goals and 3 assists and Michael Pecchia (Coquitlam) made 13 saves for the win. Limestone is showing great early season form as evidenced by its 14-4 win over Florida Southern. Shayne Jackson (Bowmanville) scored 3 goals, added 2 assists and grabbed 3 GB's in the victory while Jackson Decker (Port Moody) scored 2 goals, an assist and grabbed 3 GBs and Tor Reinholdt (Port Moody)had a goal, an assist, 2 GBs and a CT. Finally, Matt Delmonico (Port Moody) scored 4 goals and James Delaney (Vancouver) scored a pair in a loss to LeMoyne.
Lindenwood kicked off its debut in Division II lacrosse this past weekend with a win and a loss. In the first game, Lindenwood defeated St. Leo, 23-5, with Justiene Groothuis (Kitchener) scoring 4 goals, an assist and a GB while Lindsey Palmer (Whitby) had a hat trick and Jordan Constance (Calgary) added 2 goals, 2 GB's and 2 CTs and Meghan Chase (Sherwood Park) scored twice and grabbed a GB. In the second game, Lindenwood lost to Florida Southern 18 to 16 with Groothuis scoring 4 goals, an assist and grabbing 5 GB's, while Lindsey Palmer scored another hat trick while picking up 3 GBs and a CT. In the other game of note, Limestone beat Lees-McRae, 22-0, with Sarah Oor (Uxbridge) scoring a goal and adding 4 assists.
Pretty quiet in Division III this week with many teams not having even posted their lineups for 2012. The only game worth noting was Roanoke's 12-6 win over St Mary's in near blizzard like conditions. Richard Lachlan (Port Coquitlam) led the way through the snow with four goals while somehow picking up 6 GBs from the snow covered ground.
There are several noteworthy games coming up this week but only one close to the border. On Saturday, Hobart hosts Cornell and if you really want to watch a great game and are prepared to drive seven hours there is UMass at Ohio State. Both teams have had a great start to the year and the winner of this game will be highly ranked in the subsequent polls. Many of the top women's programs of interest such as Canisius and Detroit don't get going until closer to the end of the month.
Can you imagine an NCAA Division I lacrosse final featuring an ACC team vs. a team from the Big Ten? The excitement of the Denver vs. Ohio State game this week and Notre Dame's (which has consistently been rumored to go to the Big Ten with conference realignment) upset win over Duke make's the thought of a Big Ten lacrosse conference extremely tantalizing.
Besides this past weekend's results we also have the resurgence of lacrosse at Penn State and the addition of Michigan and Marquette to Division I lacrosse — and yes I realize these are not all Big Ten schools. But these developments are important in the evolution of NCAA lacrosse and extremely important for Canadian lacrosse! Why is that? I am guessing that most kids in Maryland or Long Island don't grow up dreaming about playing lacrosse in Ohio or Wisconsin in the middle of the winter. But for a lot of Canadian kids that don't have NCAA teams on their door-step, there are actually advantages to playing in the Midwest over the East Coast and that advantage is distance. If your son or daughter plays in Detroit for example and you are from Southern Ontario, then you can actually watch your kid play on a weekly basis without getting on a plane. It is also worth noting that college towns such as Columbus, Ohio, South Bend, Indiana and even Marquette are closer to Toronto than Boston and certainly much closer than Duke or North Carolina. And even for kids coming from Vancouver, while Denver is obviously the closest Division I school, the Midwest is still a lot closer than the East Coast.
Thus, as lacrosse expands throughout the Midwest, so do the opportunities for kids who want to play close to home and given the Big Ten's proximity to the northern border, you know what that means. Now, if only a few more Big Ten teams could add Division I lacrosse.

Cat Urine Removal Home Remedy
The Cat urine removal home remedy is an alternative to the stain removal cleaner bought from the stores. The biggest advantage of using a cat urine removal home remedy is that it will not produce side effects. The resources for the home remedy found in the home allowing you to make the best use of them and there is no need to purchase them. Some of the home remedies that are frequently used include vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, enzymes and Gerbera Daisies plant.
Vinegar is a common home remedy that can remove the cat urine stain. Before applying the vinegar, you have to wipe up the spot with a dry cloth. After that, you should pour the vinegar solution on the carpet. The making of the vinegar solution is easy mixing of one part of vinegar and two parts of tap water. You should allow the water and vinegar solution to remain on the spot for some time. After a while, you can blot it with rag cloth and paper towel. You should keep on wiping the spot for several times until the cat urine stain is completely gone.
Hydrogen peroxide is a simple treatment that you can use to remove the cat urine. You have to pour the hydrogen peroxide into a bowl. The recommended dosage of the hydrogen peroxide is 15 ounces. Mix the hydrogen peroxide with some liquid soap and baking soda and apply to the affected area stained with cat urine.
Enzymes are also a popular cat urine removal home remedy. The enzymes are unavailable in pet stores; the janitorial stores offer enzymes at an affordable price. In enzymes the protein element, that with similar function to urea, break down the elements of the urine so that the stain and odor can be eliminated.
Besides, plants such as Gerbera Daisies also help in removing the cat urine. Gerbera Daisies is naturally absorbent to the ammonia found in cat urine and thus it can remove the cat urine odor.

Johannesburg: They refused to be rescued. Emergency workers in South Africa cleared a mine shaft entrance of debris, allowing miners who had been trapped below, the chance to escape.
Staying underground: Fearing arrests, miners are opting to stay in the pit. Pic/AFP
The only problem was that the miners were working illegally at the abandoned mine, and some stayed underground because they feared arrest if they came out.
At least 19 miners were escorted to safety at the mine in Benoni, emergency responder Kobus Du Plooy said.
Rescue workers have packed up and left, leaving behind a ladder in the shaft for those still below. "Should they have a change of heart and mind, they then have at least some access to get out of the shaft," Du Plooy said.
Reports said more than 200 miners had been trapped. But the ones who emerged were tightlipped about their colleagues. — Agencies

NATO wants cooperation with Gulf states against terror
DOHA (AFP) Dec 01, 2005
NATO's Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer proposed Thursday closer cooperation with the resource-rich Arab countries in fighting terror, warning that the Gulf states faced major obstacles.
"It is clear that this region faces formidable security challenges," said de Hoop Scheffer at a conference in the Qatari capital.
"Several countries in this region have been the target of terrorist attacks. And your immediate neighbourhood remains a flashpoint of unresolved regional issues, of proliferation risks, and of political and religious extremism."
De Hoop Scheffer said the new security threats facing the world and NATO's changing role and mission after the end of the Cold War are behind the interest in cooperating with Gulf countries.
He said this cooperation could include defense reform, crisis management and civil emergency planning as well as military-to-military contacts, exercises and education.
De Hoop Scheffer spoke at the one-day NATO and Security in the Gulf conference which was attended by US, European and Gulf security and defense officials.
Among those present was Gordon Gray, US deputy assistant secretary of state.
Many of the Gulf countries are staunch allies of the United States in its war on terror.
The US military already maintains bases in Bahrain and Kuwait and has an important presence in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Saudi Arabia, which has been the scene of several deadly bombings and attacks on Westerners over the past two years, continues to battle alleged members of the Al-Qaeda terror network.
A suicide bomber in Qatar in March killed one Briton and wounded 12 people, while clashes in Kuwait between security forces and militants in January left three people dead.All rights reserved. © 2005 Agence France-Presse.

Owner of Buffalo Bore Tim Sundles on Heavy 45 Super Ammunition:
45 Super is externally/dimensionally identical to 45 acp or 45 acp+P and is designed to be used in 45 acp semi auto pistols that have been fitted with stronger than normal recoil springs and a shock buffer, plus a couple other modifications. While you can shoot 45 SUPER out of some stock 45 acp+P pistols such as the Glock 21, HK USP or the full sized all steel 1911, you will batter your pistol if you do not have them modified to handle the extra pressure and slide velocity of the 45 Super.
The below velocities were fired from my Colt Gold Cup Govt. Model (5 inch) that was converted to 45 Super.
As always with Buffalo Bore Ammunition, we use real world firearms to give you real world data and results.
All our 45 Super ammunition is loaded with flash suppressed powders so that if you have to fire in low light (when the criminal element is out) you will not be blinded by your own gun fire at the worst possible moment.
All three of the JHP loads were designed for anti-personel use and for hunting small big game like deer. The two solid bullet loads were designed for breaking large bones like a bears shoulders or skull, but will work for anti-personel use as well if you need to shoot through cover like car doors or stick frame walls.

Docket: 02N-0466 - Randomized Dose Response Study of Dryvax in Children Ages 2 to 5

Accepted - Volume 4
Comment Record

Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
November 29, 2002 To: Department of Health and Human Services Offices of Public Health and Science and Food and Drug Administration Office for Human Research Protection From: Multidisciplinary Working Group Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minneapolis and St Paul Re: Docket No. 02N-0466 Our working group is writing in response to the request for public review and comment regarding the research proposal entitled "A Multicenter, Randomized Dose Response Study of the Safety, Clinical, and Immune Response to Dryvax [reg] Administered to Children 2 to 5 Years of Age." Our group reached the conclusion that the benefits of additional knowledge potentially gained from this study do not outweigh the risks to the subjects, and therefore that the research as currently proposed should not be approved. The reasoning leading to this conclusion is presented below. Our working group included professionals from Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minneapolis and St Paul with expertise in many disciplines. The participants included three physicians in the area of pediatric infectious disease (including our hospital epidemiologist), an infectious disease pediatric nurse practitioner and director of infection control, two infection control practitioners, our hospital safety officer responsible for bioterrorism preparation, a media relations specialist, and our hospital bioethicist, a psychologist who chairs the IRB. In addition a representative from the Minnesota Department of Health working in the area of bioterrorism preparation attended. The conclusions reached were unanimous. We want to clarify our working group's and our organization's strong commitment to immunization of children. We are community leaders and active nationally in advocating for vaccination programs. Our comments should in no way be interpreted as critique of the vaccinations recommended by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other organizations. We are strong supporters of routine, regular, and complete vaccination of children. We also want to emphatically state that if a smallpox event occurs we strongly support the vaccination of children with Dryvax [reg] in appropriate dilution and with already known and demonstrated technique (5 insertions of a bifurcated needle). Furthermore, we are, as individuals and an institution, strongly committed to pediatric research and appropriate inclusion of children in clinical trials when the knowledge gained justifies the risks of the study. We recognize the additional protections needed for individuals, such as children, who cannot consent for themselves. The research endeavor in general is best served by careful examination of the factors which overcome the presumption of voluntary participation of subjects. We take seriously the general presumption of voluntary informed consent for all medical research as described in the Declaration of Helsinki and the Common Rule. We believe this research is not approvable under 45CFR46 Subpart D 46.404, 405 or 406. If it is approvable at all, and we believe it is not, it would be approvable only under Subpart D 46.407. Our conclusions relate specifically to the proposed research project in light of potential benefits and harms of the study as proposed. We will discuss the issues within the framework of the specific questions published for comment. What are the potential benefits, if any, to the subjects and children in general? The potential benefits of the research must be analyzed in light of current knowledge of the Dryvax vaccine in adults and children and the potential risk of smallpox exposure. We, in detail, addressed the question of benefits in terms of direct benefit to the subjects, indirect benefits to the subjects and their families, and benefits to society in terms of other children. Regarding the potential risk of smallpox exposure we clearly are unable to fully evaluate actual current risks, so can comment only from discussions regarding bioterrorism at professional meetings and in the media. Based on those sources we evaluate the risk as extremely small due not only to the limited availability of the agent but also due to the technological difficulty of using the agent. We felt any potential direct benefit to subjects is best described as a hypothetical benefit, and therefore cannot be considered a direct benefit to the subjects. If the government has information of plausible immediate threats this calculation of direct benefit is likely to change (although we concluded that existing knowledge is sufficient to know how to use the existing vaccine supplies, as discussed below). There may be potential indirect benefits to parents worried about smallpox who gain peace of mind by having their child vaccinated in this study. However, these indirect benefits are small in comparison to the risks to the subjects and household and community contacts of the preschool-aged subjects. These indirect benefits to subjects and families do not justify the proposed research project. In fact, the current public state of anxiety may induce worried parents to expose their children to irrational risk to achieve some peace of mind when actual risks outweigh potential benefits. The question of benefit to society and children in general does not justify approving the proposed research. We believe the current state of knowledge regarding the Dryvax vaccine and dilution of current stocks is sufficient to guide if a smallpox outbreak occurs, and therefore the benefits of the proposed research are minimal. Specifically, our group discussed in detail the following issues which are noted as potential benefits to children in general: A. Knowledge of Pediatric Immune Response To Undiluted (1:1) and Diluted (1:5) Vaccine (Primary Objective and Secondary Objectives 1 and 4) We recognize that in some sense the 1:5 dilution is a different vaccine than the 1:1 form. Recent trials of diluted vaccine in adults (Frey et al, N Engl J Med. 2002 Apr 25;346(17):1265-74.) have demonstrated sufficient take rate with 1:5 diluted vaccine to justify use in diluted form. There is little or no reason to believe children ages 2-5 will show an immunologically lower response. Also, previous studies (cited in the protocol) in children from the vaccination era demonstrate the effectiveness of the 1:5 dilution in children. Therefore, there is little or no benefit to the knowledge gained in the proposed study. B. Knowledge of Effectiveness of 5 v. 15 Insertions (Secondary Objective 2) The proposed study differs from the adult studies in using 5 vs. 15 insertions of a bifurcated needle. We concluded that knowledge of the effectiveness of this technique from the past when children were routinely inoculated is sufficient to justify this technique if mass vaccination is needed. Therefore there is little or no benefit to the knowledge, which will be gained, in the proposed study. C. Knowledge of the Safety Profile of the Vaccine to Vaccinees and Contacts (Secondary Objective 3 The sample size is insufficient to gain meaningful knowledge, and significant knowledge already exists from the previous vaccination era. Furthermore risks in today's population of more frequently immunosuppressed individuals will not be gained because such families are specifically excluded from the study. Therefore, there is little or no benefit to the knowledge gained in the proposed study. D. Knowledge of Revaccination of Nonresponders (Secondary Objective 5) Our review of the existing studies and knowledge still extant from the vaccination era indicate sufficient knowledge of take rates in initial nonresponders exists. Furthermore, since there is no reason to believe these children will react differently than adults, any further studies can be carried out in adults. Therefore, there is little or no benefit to the knowledge gained in the proposed study. It is also important to note that the U.S. Government has contracted for the development of a new, presumably safer vaccine to be produced for the entire U.S. population (Acambis). This vaccine will require full clinical trials to establish its safety and effectiveness, apparently some time in the next 12-18 months. Therefore any knowledge of the dilution of the Dryvax vaccine will be obsolete when the new vaccine is available. This small window of the usefulness of any knowledge gained in the proposed study is also relevant and indicates further that the benefits from the proposed study are extremely limited. We conclude that there are only hypothetical benefits to the subjects themselves, little or no benefit to children in general. Therefore the proposed study does not present a reasonable opportunity to further the understanding, prevention, or alleviation of a serious problem affecting the health or welfare of children. 1. What are the types and degrees of risk that this research presents (to subjects)? The risks of the Dryvax vaccine are well-known and documented, including autoinnoculation, eczema vaccinatum, erythema multiforme, generalized vaccinia progressive vaccinia, vaccinia keratitis, and in rare instances death from some of the complications already listed. The best knowledge of the frequency of these risks emerges from the 1968 ten-state survey, which demonstrates adverse event rates, which are significant and clearly are beyond minimal risk or a minor increase over minimal risk. In the proposed population the possibilities of such risks may be higher due to issues of cooperation in a preschool population. While the proposed study does have a recommended method of using occlusive dressings to limit risk, our group of pediatric infectious disease specialists noted that it is extremely difficult to achieve cooperation with occlusive dressings with toddlers and preschoolers. Children do not understand the need for the dressing, but will feel the itch and because of their ability to remove the dressing, will try to do so. There is also insufficient understanding of effectiveness of the proposed occlusive dressing. The study is not optimally configured to gather this information regarding the usefulness of the dressing, nor is it a primary or secondary objective of the study. We also believe that the study as proposed does not take potential steps to establish normal immune function of the children. It was also noted that in the recent adult study additional consent safeguards included presentation and discussion with potential subjects and a 24 hour waiting period before consent could be documented. We are not aware of such provisions in the proposed study and if the study is approved (which we do not recommend) strongly endorse such additional protections. It has been pointed out that treatment with VIG is potentially available if side effects of the vaccine arise. While this is a consideration, the protocol as currently written does not guarantee subjects no cost availability of treatment. While we do not know the cost of VIG, if the costs are similar to current similar products, depending on dosage, it could be significant such as $1,000/dose. Also the stockpiles of VIG are small and the study patients are not guaranteed access. Parents are not fully informed in current documents of these factors. We therefore conclude that significant risks exist in spite of the planned use of occlusive dressing. This risk includes significant risk to contacts such as siblings, relatives and playmates, pregnant women and the immunocompromised. 2. Are the risks to the subjects reasonable in relation to the anticipated benefits, if any, to the subjects, and the importance of the knowledge the may be expected as a result? As described in the answer to question 1, we believe there are only hypothetical direct benefits to subjects, little or no benefit of the knowledge gained in the proposed study to the general population. Given the limited current benefits, the short window during which Dryvax would be utilized when the new vaccine becomes available we conclude the benefits of the proposed study are extremely small. As described in our answer to question 2, there are significant risks to the subjects. Therefore we conclude that the risks to the subjects are not reasonable in relation to the anticipated benefits and the study should not be approved. 3. Does this present a reasonable opportunity to further the understanding, prevention or alleviation of a serious problem affecting the health or welfare of children? We believe it is clear, given our answers to the previous questions, that we believe this study does not present a reasonable opportunity to further the understanding, prevention or alleviation of a serious problem affecting the health or welfare of children because the information currently available is sufficient to answer the study questions and the risks to children and contacts is significant. In conclusion we recommend against approving the current study. If the study is approved we strongly recommend the FDA takes into account the review comments from Mary Faith Marshall Ph.D. and Rosemary Quigley, JD, MPH regarding inadequacies in the current consent process and documents and in the study design regarding payment for treatment of any injury associated with the study. We wish to reiterate that our comments are directed specifically to disapproval of the current study. We remain strong supporters of immunization of children according to recommended guidelines, of the use of the vaccine if a smallpox outbreak were to occur, and of the need for research into the conditions and treatments of children.

Dib udhaca kiiska Wariye cabdi Nuur ayaa waxa ay ka dhigaysa in kiiskaan Dowladda Soomaaliya aysan ubaahneeyn inay dhaqaajiso maadaama dhowr mar uu din dhacay.
bahda Saxaafada Soomaalida ayaa arintani si aad ah uga muragsan maadaama weli Dowladda aysan go'aanm rasmi ah ka gaari kiiska Wariey C/casiis.
Fikradaha Akhristayaasha (
Fikradaha Akhristayaasha (1)
This case must be dealt with more seriousness and caution because of its already violated Criminal Principals before the pre-trial and after the trial because of the Public statement issued by General Sharif Shekuna the Somali Police Chief, the Minister of justice as well as several other Government Authority that the arrested group are guilty of crimes against the Somali State. ( Qaran Dumis ), punishable of death in the Somali Criminal Code.
Having said that, the nature of the Rape crime, the illegal arrest and detention of a journalist and case witnesses is and abuse of authority committed by The police Chief just to defend his fellow Security forces, illegal arrest of a female victim and other is enough proof to suppress and oppress any other rape victim and media reporters to report a crime committed by the Security forces hence give a green light to the armed security forces to rape, arrest and torte who ever they want to.
If we study carefully the nature of the Rape crime, we realize the following factors:
1) In a Society like the Somali and Muslim Nations the Rape crime can incite other very serious crime such as murder be committed by the woman's husband against the raper, or by the brothers of the raped woman, or a tribal war between the Raped woman's group against the Raper criminal's relatives.
2) The personal reputation of the raped woman within the Society will be damaged seriously, and may loose her husband, her relatives may abandon or stay at large from her or even she may never be re-married if divorced, all these may well be consequences of the rape crime against its victim.
3) The fear and the turmoil that other women can develop after realizing that women can be raped at will by anyone and that those who are in charge of security can also rape those that they were in charged to protect, this must not happen ever in any civilized society whatever culture , religion, and tradition they may believe in.
4) The last but not the least, this case must not be even brought to justice since its been already publicized by the government authority damaging the reputation and privacy protection rights of the raped women, it must be released unconditionally , compensated, and counselled .
5) Is it possible that the Somali security forces can commit Rapre, torture, illegal arrest and looting ? The answer is YES, because we have records and witnessed that in Afgoi ( Lower Shabelle ) when the former TFG President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed was visiting there, more than all local Leaders, Community Elders, and Civil Society have publicly complained of all those crimes committed by the Security forces and not to mention some Elders were crying while telling these crimes.
For those that have committed all these abuses of authority, illegal arrest, torture, must be all brought to justice in order to recuperate if possible the already lost trust and confidence of the Somali Women, Journalists and all victimized groups by the Security forces and the commanders.

Here is how my hair turned out, I originally have black Asian hair.
So I was really happy with the colors! I like how there is some balayage left, but the colors look very natural and for me, very conservative-workplace appropriate.
Thanks for reading!
To help celebrate, I'd like to share with you one of my favorite purchases so far!
First a few teaser pics. :P Bear with me...
Here she is...Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies in Horizon Glitter 100mm! I adore sparkly things and I love the galaxy-like pattern on these! They fit true to size for me, similar to the regular Pigalle 100mm and I have medium width feet. The thin heel is a little of a challenge, but since these aren't the 120mm height it won't be terrible. (Drag the image to your address bar if you'd like to see a larger photo)
Here are some more photos. If you like them, a limited size selection is available at the CL website and Net-A-Porter (where I got my pair)
Thanks for letting me share! Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the shoe or Pigalle Follies style. I'd be happy to help.
Much Love,
So you send in your things via your own box (they provide shipping labels). Or you can ask them to send you 2 heavy duty shipping bags with labels already on. I went for the second option and here is the box with its contents:
Click here for more information and to go to the Nordstrom Fashion Project website.
I've already set aside 10 items, mostly tops and old denim to give. And there is more space for new summer things!
J. Crew Pleated Short in Cotton Pique $59.50 HERE (On sale for $39.99 - 40%) -- Size 0
This is usually what happens with pleated shorts for me. It balls up in the front and makes me look like I am wearing a diaper. If you have slimmer hips, these will add a little bit of curve without poofing. If you have wider hips like mine, no dice. The material is nice and thick though and the color is fantastic. Passed.
J. Crew Scallop Crepe Dress $168 HERE (On sale for $119.99 - 40% off) -- Size 00
Cute. Fit well, with weight material. It is low-cut and a bit too long for my taste. Pass.
J. Crew Embroidered Tunic in Stripe $128 HERE (On sale for $89.99 - 40% off) -- Size XXS
Uh...it looks like I am wearing a night dress. Fits really large, size down. Slits along sides too high to let you wear this as a shirtdress. Passed.
So nothing for me at J. Crew today. I did leave my pager in the dressing room and the SA found me in another store to return it to me! Very nice of him
Love, Kim
Let me preface that by saying, I had never shopped at Bloomingdales. I find their selection less impressive than Saks of NM. Plus they don't carry Christian Louboutin or Chanel. But I stopped by today, just to see what they had in store. I acutally planned to buy these dresses even without knowing the possible discounts. First you get a $50 gift card for every $200 receipt you spend. Plus I got an extra 20% off because I opened a Bloomingdales store card with them today. I think I saved over $200 and I was ecstatic! This promo runs until tomorrow, so if you read this in time, I hope you get your discounts!
Now on to the wares. I've been pretty stressed lately with school, applying for residency and recent breakup :(. So what better way to get back on my feet with a little retail therapy. I am going to Vegas twice in July, so I'll need some dresses to glam it up!
P.S. Bloomingdales your dressing rooms are so dirty! There were stains all over the carpet and a rolled up tissue paper on the floor (which is in pretty much all my pictures eh...)
Parker Shelby Dress $275 -- Size XS
This dress is everything!!! I love prints, especially done in bright colors. Sometimes it can get overwhelming and too "beachy", but the black piping adds a little edge to the dress and makes it more appropriate for nights out. I also love the fit and flare cut of this dress with the halter style top. It is extremely comfortable as well, which is rare for a clubby-type dress. The material is light, but sturdy with a little stretch.
BUT and a huge BUT... was that the dress was too roomy on the waist area. As you all know, I like showing off my waist the most and this was a dealbreaker for me. However, alterations were called down and this grumpy old man helped fix the dress! I don't care if he was grumpy, if he has the skills to fix my dress I am A-OK with him!
Here are a few more pictures of the large waist and the pins taking the waist in.
Crisis averted for an extra $35. Hope it turns out well! I am really in love with this dress!
MILLY Strappy Dress in Astr $295 -- Size 0
I was not expecting to get this dress. I tried it on for "funsies." I mean look at it, it looks like your typical run-of-the-mill blue sundress that you can get anywhere right? Wrong. I was wrong. First, the quality of the fabric is second to none. It is weighty and very soft. And it fits like a dream. This dress hugs you snugly on the torso, sucks you in with boning and flares out. But it doesn't just flare out like a simple A-line. There are pleats and extra fabric to create a more voluminous skirt. Unbelievable. Like a subdued ballerina. The second I tried it on, I thought to myself, "Uh-oh, I'm going to need this."
Quick note: This dress is not the same color as in the stock picture. The blue is a little darker and the stripes are very fine, more like a narrow pinstripe pattern.
No alterations needed on this baby, purchased!
Aqua Stripe Lace Full Skirt Dress $128 -- Size XS
I really liked the striped pattern alternating with lace. There is a lining underneath, but the dress remains a tad sheer. I think it would work with nude undergarments. It fit pretty well, but after trying on the dress before, I could not pull the trigger on this one. Passed.
Aqua Crochet Dress $88 -- Size XS
This dress was very stretchy and poorly made. There was no structure to it whatsoever and if I wear this out to eat anything this will probably show a little pooch. Passed.
Overall an excellent shopping day at Bloomies! I wanted to get some shoes as well, but I'm saving my dough for Sak's amazing shoe sale! Its going on now for all designers (30% off) and Chanel and CL will go on sale in 1-2 weeks from now. I'll keep you updated!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
But I did have the whole Memorial day weekend off and a day to relax and shop around. There are amazing sales going on right now so lets start with one of our favorite stores: J Crew!
J Crew was having 40% off extra on sale items, but it was FINAL SALE only.
J Crew Cotton Pique Lace Dress $158 (On sale for $119.99 - 40%) - Size 00
This dress looked just okay on the hanger, but looked so much better when I tried it on! The fit was great, if not a little tight. I like fit and flare dresses as they whittle my waist and hide my hips so this dress was exactly what I was looking for. The material is a thicker cotton, that isn't at all see through (I am wearing a teal bra, but you don't notice it). Length is perfect at 3 inches above my knee. I am 5'5" for reference. Comes in yellow too. Purchased!
J Crew Knit Sleeveless Dress $158 (On sale for $119.99 - 40%) - Size 00
I needed a work dress and this definitely fit the bill. The fit was great. The front panel is like a knit material and the navy section is stretchier, similar to scuba material, but thinner. It is body skimming, so may not hide lumps and bumps as well as some other cuts. I felt it was quite flattering and cute with the little ruffled flare on the bottom. The length is appropriate as well coming 1 inch above my knee.
J Crew Lace-Stripe Skirt $98 (On sale for $69.99 - 40% off) Size 0
I wished this skirt worked for me. The bright canary color was beautiful, with the last close-up image of the skirt most accurately depicting the super saturated yellow hue. Unfortunately the materal was a bit stiff and the skirt was one size too large for me. The store had sold out of 00. Otherwise, the fit was great and POCKETS! I am wearing it with a J. Crew sweater that I will review next. Passed on the skirt.
J Crew Merino Baseball Sweater in Scallop Intarsia $89.50 (On sale for $69.99 - 40%) Size XS
This sweater is very thin, which makes it very sheer. It also has a boxier shape and fits large. I would take one size down from your regular size. Passed.
J Crew Toothpick Jean in Tux Stripe $130 (On sale for $59.99 - 40%) Size 26
Last is an army green denim with candy cane stripes. I don't really know why I tried this on because I didn't like the color/pattern of this pant. It fit much like the regular J. Crew denim, which is quite snug on the thighs. Passed.
That's it for J. Crew ladies! Hope you enjoy the rest of Memorial Day weekend!
So I love Zara, they make trendy clothing, shoes and accessories at an affordable price. Often their items are pretty well-crafted. I shop there, enjoy their wares and if a stain doesn't come off a dress, I can just toss it without stress.
However, because I have been getting in Christian Louboutins recently, I have noticed that many of their shoes are nealy exact copies of the original designer version. No big deal you might say? Well, you may be right. But it does strike a nerve when the shoes you paid $800 a few months ago for is available for $80 at Zara. I'll post some examples as well. I know I shouldn't complain as I am very lucky to have what I have and if you compared the two shoes side-by-side, the craftmanship and yadda yadda would stand out. But aesthetically to the untrained eye, they will look very, very similar. I have no problem with people purchasing the said Zara shoes at all, not judging. This is more on Zara for blatantly copying a style. That's what is difficult about fashion, you can't really own your ideas bar a few instances.
Honestly, I don't know exactly why I am annoyed. I hope it isn't haughtiness or snobbery, because my mom didn't raise my that way. Can someone explain?
Louboutin Corneille Slingback vs. Zara Pointy Toe Slingback
Have any of you tried Rent the Runway or RTR? I have once in the past and vaguely remember a good experience. Well I am heading to Vegas for my birthday and decided why not swank it up with some fancy dresses.
One of the best deals on RTR is their selection of Herve Leger dresses. They have about 30 dresses of varying colors, designs and lengths, but all have that signature banded style. They range from $100-$200 for 4 days, which is perfect for a weekend trip. With each dress order, you get to select 2 sizes. Best of all, if you rent one dress, the second (lower priced) one is $25!
So here is a real-time review in multiple stages. Right now I am submitting my order for 2 Herve Leger dresses, both in shades of pink.
Here are my choices:
"Guys Kind of Girl" Dress $160 + $5 insurance
"Heartbreaker" Dress $125 (but effectively $25!) + $5 insurance
Sounds like a great deal right? And I think it is. One worry I have though is that these dresses have been rented and used maybe 20-30 times! How does it hold up with all that stretching and dry cleaning? I'm worried that they might be overstretch or not have that "sucking in" effect that Herve is known for. Oh well, only time will tell!
So for both dresses (and an extra bracelet I rented, yes you can rent jewelry too!) The total came out to $235.77! I will post Part 2 in the beginning of November when my dresses arrive!
Oh and don't forget to save! Enter 20OFFNEXT88YR3 on the promo box to save $20 off your next $100+ purchase and use eBates for 3.5% cash back!]]>
Long time no post! Sorry about that. I'm in my 3rd year of medical school and rotations in the hospital are intense. I work ~15 hours a day and get one dat off every 1 or 2 weeks!!!
But I found some time to squeeze in a post.
It was the BF's birthday recently and we went to this fantastic restaurant Sushi Zo. Pricey, but pretty worth it if you like sushi. There are about 30 servings of different sushi/sashimi/seafood, which come out piece by piece. They specify how you have to eat it. Kind of rigid, but the food was good! Although I wasn't full after 30 small pieces. :( For $160 per person, I'd expect to be stuffed!
Anywhoo here is my outfit of the night:
Outfit specs:
Dress: French Connection (on sale here)
Shoes: Christian Louboutin "Sex" Pigalle 120mm pumps
Bag: Chanel medium flap in gold
So...remember how I said I would never spend too much money on shoes, because they just touch the ground anyway and are difficult to maintain?
Erm, I would like to retract that statement. I have fallen head over heels (pun intended) over Christian Louboutins! More on that to come soon!]]>

Post subject: Bush v. Thomas
Carries were essentially split between Bush and Thomas last week. The three or four weeks prior to that, there were a few more carries for Thomas. My question is, who should be toting the rock for the Dolphins more, Bush or Thomas? What kind of split would you like to see?

65/35 Bush as far as running plays. Would like to see Bush more as a slot receiver. Get the man in open space where he can do some damage.

I am a huge bush supporter but thomas is growing on me he doesnt lose yards and fallls forward on his carries lately. With that said 65/35 bush i just wish we used bush more in the passing game and it might be the one thing that has surprised me the most this year is how few catches he has i thought this system would bring back his saints days in the passing gme. With a upgrade on the line i like them together and thomas looks like he has quick feet in the screen game..

Ideally 18-12(60-40) Bush/Thomas. 30 carries and 30 passes for 60 plays a game.
I'm starting to like Thomas more too, still want to see Miller though. Now that we have only 4 receivers and two are developing guys, I think we might start to see Bush line up wide. Especially vs the Patriots where we're gonna need his deep speed.

1.) Let's Take a Hint
I hate to break this to you guys but Reggie Bush is a glorified special teamer. Welcome to the NFL, you can't be as small and fragile as Bush and expect to hang onto the starting job when it requires power and toughness just as much as it does running ability. Look at the team that he came from--who is markedly better than us, mind you, and who is coached by an offensive genius. Sean Peyton knew what the heck he was doing and he saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Reggie Bush lacked the power to be a full-time RB and he couldn't stay healthy getting hit by NFL players each week.
2.) Offensive Interchangeability
The Saints now feature 4 RBs: Ingram, Thomas, Ivory and Sproles who also handles special teams duty. What the Saints feature today is something like 4 Lamar Millers. None of those guys stand out which is exactly the point. Good offenses feature WRs who all resemble each other. The same is true of RBs. You want interchangeability so that the offensive coordinator doesn't have his hands tied when 1 guy is in the game.
3.) Reward Your Blockers
Another fact that needs to be pointed out is how the Offensive Linemen do not seem to want to block for Reggie Bush the way they do for Thomas & Miller. As a RB, you have to respect your O-line by showing them that you're not going to just bounce it outside every time. It's become somewhat clear watching the games that the Offensive Lineman do not trust Reggie Bush to follow their blocks and are not being inspired to block aggressively by his running style. The run-blocking is significantly more authoritative when Thomas is in the game.
4.) Special Teams Won't Save Him Here
Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller are both more valuable players to us than Reggie Bush. Plus, with Marcus Thigpen returning kicks and punts (successfully!) it's safe to say Reggie Bush's fate is sealed.
5.) Replace-ability
How fast did the Saints move on from Bush? Pretty fast, and I'd say they actually got better, too. The question is, when we inevitably get rid of Reggie Bush, would it be too crazy to draft another RB as high as the 3rd or 4th round like we did with Lamar Miller just to keep adding to the position? Like CB, you always need a stable of talented RBs, even if they aren't elite. If we had the chance, would it be something to think about? Probably not this year, but if the right guy was there, would you even consider it?
Now, that's my view put succinctly. For anyone who wants more on my thoughts regarding Bush, you can keep reading, if not don't bother.
Firstly, this isn't a diss on Reggie Bush, it's just a view that I've begun to embrace these last few weeks after having my head get re-adjusted by folks who've watched Reggie Bush his whole career. So, please, hear me out...
I believe players like Reggie Bush will always be over-rated because they represent how talented a person can be while still not fitting the mold of what makes a productive RB in the NFL: consistency, power, toughness, speed and elusiveness.
It boils down to a talent-vs-production argument
Bush might be a 10 in speed and elusiveness but he's lacking so much in the other categories (power, toughness) he's not very good for an offense looking to keep the chains moving. I believe Sean Peyton recognized this and went to move after a stable of RBs who had some of the elusiveness Bush had (Sproles, Thomas, Ivory & Ingram) but who all had ample power to achieve the goal of the position which is ultimately to run and be tough to tackle. That--at the NFL level--requires significantly more power than it does at USC!
To put it bluntly,
without ever even thinking about how good or bad the O-line is, it's likely that each big play Reggie Bush creates will be paid for by a half dozen others that end in minimal gains or tackles for loss
. An offense trying to develop it's passing game (and in particular it's rookie QB) is shooting itself in the foot by trying to highlight a player as up and down as Reggie Bush. Ironically, a less-talented RB that offers more consistency is probably better suited not only for this offense but also our particular situation.
There are a multitude of guys who play the role that Reggie Bush does but who are significantly stronger and more physical. Short RBs with powerful bodies are all over the NFL today from Jonathan Stewart to Ray Rice to Kendall Hunter to Darren Sproles to CJ Spiller to Jacquizz Rodgers to Doug Martin to Ahmad Bradshaw
. All of these guys are essentially doing the same thing: catching check-downs and making people miss in space. None of them however have had success without at some point proving they have some power to back up their athleticism. Bush, by comparison, has never shown that power and thus he's never been able to take that next step.
The very thing
people complained about with Ted Ginn Jr
and what supposedly made him a limited WR, is to a large extent no different than what I see with Reggie Bush. Here's a guy who lacks size. Bush tries to make up for it with agility the way Ginn did with speed.
The problem is, you have to give those players so many chances to make a big play that you wind up slowing your offense down in the process.
The problem we have with Reggie Bush is that he's very weak compared with these other guys. He's an elusive runner but he's got 0 power. That makes him a liability behind almost any O-line and it makes me wonder just how valuable Reggie Bush will even be to an offense that doesn't seem to want to "check it down" all that often.
I'd rather find the players to make this offense work properly than re-sign guys who are talented but who don't fit.

I agree with the majority of posters here that Bush ought to be utilized more in the passing game, however, the suspect play of the right side of the line has probably necessitated the RB's to stay into block a bit more. As a result Bush is not being used to his full ability. As for a carry split with Thomas...I'd prefer to see Thomas with no more than about 5 carries per game. He looked good last week, and from time to time before that, but Bush is far more consistent and far more of a gamebreaker. As a result, I'd like to see a much heftier split for Bush. Can I say split for Bush on this site?
The notion that Reggie Bush is pedestrian or replaceable is comical. Bush provides the exact thing that every coordinator desperately searches for and that is big plays. He has the 2nd most amount of runs of 15+ yards in the league (2nd only to Adrian Peterson) on nearly 50 fewer carries. Bush also does more with less. Bush also has a top 10 rating in elusiveness according to Pro Football Focus. The "Elusive Rating" boils down a runner's success beyond the point of being helped by his blockers. In other words, when blocking breaks down, Bush still is able to make things happen.
Beyond that, Reggie is the consummate professional, THE team leader, and sets the tone in the locker room. His value is extraordinarily high.
I am not confident, however, that we will retain him. The team has some very tough decisions ahead of them due to poor cap management and we will have to let some good players go. RB is a position where good players can be found in the draft. Great players, like Bush, however, are much harder to come by. I fear we will let him go and I think our offense will suffer as a result.

I think we are going to have to agree to disagree sir. Reggie bush has started 26 of his last 27 games in the NFL thats very durable if you look around the league and compare it to other RB. Just today in the muskefire.com bill belichek said he admires bush toughness and that he is more powerful then people think. I think sometimes players get a label for what they did early in there careers and it sticks with them thats the case with bush. Though he does sometimes have lapses of dancing he is a between the tackle runner now. For a line that supposedly doesnt like to block for him he is averaging 4.5 a carry and 5 yards last year thats very solid. This all coming from a line that most of us agree is where the players dont fit the scheme. The reason the saints got rid of him was he was the last draft class where rookies raped the system and he was due a big ballon payment and yes at the time was coming off a injury and had not made his mark yet in the run game. Let me make it clear i by no means am saying we need to pay him big bucks to stay here but bush is a very good RB and if he want to stay at a fair price we do it. He just recently said he would he wnts to stay here and win a superbowl with miami cause he see's a simularity between the saints and dolphins.

This. Before the Season started I actually thought he would have a lot of plays like this:
x x x
I'm sure most people can tell where the QB is, and the left being Bush and the Right being Miller with them both going out for passes, seeing as Thomas is a runner where Miller has great speed like Bush and could be dangerous.
But I was wrong, I just wanted to see it happen...can't say it would be successful, but worth a try.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/10/2013 (1359 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Halloween is upon us, as once again the most popular costume in Ottawa is the common sheep, which is available in wolf size. Pamela Wallin stands before the Senate and notes she is a cancer survivor and her removal from the unelected Senate would deprive her of health benefits. Mike Duffy asks Canadians to forgive his financial indiscretions and ensure his retention of inflated salary and future pension.
In the past, the Conservative government, along with unelected lap dogs such as Wallin and Duffy, has interfered with the collective bargaining process of many corporations, such as CP Rail, Air Canada and Canada Post.
Reasoning that strike action would negatively impact the fragile economy, Parliament enacted or prepared to enact back-to-work legislation. Health benefit, salary and pension increases became non-existent or less than the inflation rate for thousands of working Canadians who, after being denied the right to bargain in good faith, were forced to watch the massive increases given to appointed senators.
If the Harper government were serious about stimulating the Canadian economy, it would eliminate the Senate and use those taxes to repair the country's crumbling infrastructure. This would also reduce the necessity of employment insurance, since former senators would find fulfilling employment delivering ice cream to the working class or providing entertainment to their children as clowns in a newly created national travelling circus.

Originally applied to all pigeons, now mostly restricted to the turtle dove. A symbol of gentleness from early Christian times, also of the Holy Spirit (cf.

Past tense dove is a later formation, perhaps on analogy of drive/drove. Related: Diving. Dive bomber attested by 1939.
c.1700, from dive (v.). Sense of "disreputable bar" is first recorded American English 1871, perhaps because they were usually in basements, and going into one was both a literal and figurative "diving."

This charming establishment delivered a wonderful experience for our first time visit to Door County Wisconsin. We stayed in the "Wild Rose Room" located upstairs with a lovely view of Sturgeon Bay. Our innkeeper was charming, and her preparation of breakfast made our stay memorable. By the way, those delicious chocolate brownies waiting for her guests in the living room was the perfect end to a beautiful day.

Missile bunkers 'to become monuments'
Bunkers at Greenham Common air base could join the list of Britain's historic monuments.
Heritage officials are believed to be ready to give the former military site special protection which would prevent the bunkers from being disturbed.
The compound in Berkshire, which includes shelters that housed nuclear cruise missiles in the 1980s, was recently offered to West Berkshire Council for £1, but the offer was refused.
However, English Heritage says no firm decision has yet been made about the base's status.
Bunkers protected
It is understood the Ministry of Defence (MoD), which is trying to sell the bunkers, has agreed to delay the sale until they are given formal protection.
The MoD has been told the process of adding them to the list of the nation's historic monuments should be completed by the end of February.
This means whoever buys them will have to seek the permission of the culture secretary for any work that might affect the bunkers.
The US-run airbase came to the world's attention because of the anti-nuclear protests by the Women's Peace Camp.
The campaign culminated in the "Embrace the Base" protest in 1982 when 30,000 women joined hands around its perimeter fence.
Nuclear missiles were finally removed from the base between 1989 and 1991 and the Ministry of Defence gave up control of the entire 500-hectare site in 1997.

Alyce Designs Inc. and two corporate officers have agreed to pay a $36,000 civil penalty to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they violated the Care Labeling Rule by selling wedding gowns with care labels provided by Continental Gown Cleaning Service, Inc., that falsely stated that the drycleaner's "Zurcion" method was the only way to clean the gowns. In July of this year, the Commission settled similar charges against two other wedding gown manufacturers, Mori Lee, Inc. and Ilissa Bridals, Ltd.
The complaint against Alyce Designs, Inc., Alyce Hamm and Jean Paul Hamm was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on July 20, 1998. The complaint alleged that Alyce Designs violated the Care Labeling Rule by using Continental's labels, which failed to state at least one type of solvent that may be used to clean the wedding gowns. In addition, the complaint alleged that Alyce Designs did not have a reasonable basis for instructing that the gowns can be adequately cleaned by the Zurcion method and for warning that the gowns cannot be cleaned by any other method of drycleaning or by washing.
The Care Labeling Rule, which has been in effect since 1972, requires manufacturers and importers of clothing to attach care labels that state what regular care is needed for ordinary use of the garment. For this reason, care labels usually specify either a washing instruction or a dry cleaning instruction. The FTC alleged that Continental's labels violate the rule because they fail to provide adequate instructions for drycleaning these garments. The labels fail to state at least one type of solvent that may be used on the gowns and fail to explain how the normal drycleaning process must be modified for these delicate garments.
In addition to paying a civil penalty, as part of the settlement the company is prohibited from violating the Care Labeling Rule in the future and is required to notify retail stores that its gowns may be cleaned by methods other than the Zurcion method.
The Commission vote to approve the consent decree with Alyce Designs was 4-0. The consent decree with Alyce Designs was filed at the FTC's request by the Department of Justice in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on December 11, 1998.
NOTE: Consent decrees are for settlement purposes only and do not constitute an admission by the defendant of a law violation. They have the force of law when signed by the judge.
Copies of the complaint against Continental Gown are available from the FTC's web site at http://www.ftc.gov and copies of the complaint and consent decree against Alyce Designs and the complaints and consent decrees with Ilissa Bridals and Mori Lee are available from the FTC's Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580; 202-FTC-HELP (202-382-4357); TDD for the hearing impaired 1-866-653-4261.

I think variety is best, so if you are already eating eggs, throw in some fish every now and then. They are different and therefore will give you different nutrients. Also, a steak once a month certainly won't hurt, and could actually help quite a bit!! :-) If you stick with the same nutrient dense foods over and over again, there is no doubt you will be better off then eating a bunch of grains and sugar. However, there is a variety of good, nutrient dense food out there, and to really have all that your body needs to function at its best, the more variety you can include the better.
No announcement yet.
Fish or Eggs? - need some advice . . please

I'm newer to primal eating and don't get bogged down with all the numbers-I just eat what I enjoy and call it good*Sara*
I have zero scientific evidence other than what I read on MDA, but I do know from my experience being vegetarian and trying to eat paleo/primal that it sucks. I definitely felt as though I was missing out on key nutrients. Even with no wheat or rice, only sticking with quinoa and beans, I would still experience an energy slump midday, bloating, flatulence, etc. After 12 years as a vegetarian, I started eating meat again a few weeks ago, all types of meats, and cut the rest out. Best decision EVER. I understand the difficulty in reintegrating animal proteins after abstaining for years, but if you are open to trying fish, I think it would be worth it for you to try both eggs AND fish.
Ditto to an omelette with salmon. Delicious. Try it with smoked salmon for even more flavor.
Also, I love peanut butter too, but having discovered almond butter, I may never go back to peanut butter...

Thanks for all your input on this Groks and Grokesses, I have found it hard to get my head around all this stuff. Cierra - nothing you said was redundant - thanks for taking the time to give me some good advice. It is nice that despite me not approaching this regime from quite the same angle and not being as strict as you people seem - we find the common ground so I can work out how this stuff can work for me.
As others have said, both fish and eggs are great.
You seem to be approaching this from a nutrition angle. If and when you are ready to add some red meat to your diet, a very small amount of liver is basically the most nutritious food there is.Disclaimer: I eat 'meat and vegetables' ala Primal, although I don't agree with the carb curve. I like Perfect Health Diet and WAPF Lactofermentation a lot.

Apart this, I agree with you that diary is not 100% suitable for humans, but fortunately there are some ways to improve it: fermentation is one. Consider preparing your own homemade yoghurt and kefir.
Also, goat and sheep milk is much better than cow's milk, the caseins contained in cow's milk are different and promote inflammation much more than goat's and sheep's. That said, you can do fine without diary at all

My son is only 2 so I'm to get to this stage, I don't think I would buy for all of them though, there's already enough in the family! Maybe you could suggest to her they do their own little Secret Santa, that way you only have 1 pressie to buy.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 01:49 PM
Posted 01 December 2012 - 01:51 PM
Yes I do - Just 3 of them though. They are our neighbours as well as being at school with DS and the friendship has been on going for a number of years.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 01:53 PM
No, just christmas cards. Perhaps she could make presents for her friends - crafty or food things perhaps like friendship bracelets or cookies?
Posted 01 December 2012 - 01:58 PM
No. Christmas cards is what the kids give to their friends!
Posted 01 December 2012 - 03:10 PM
No, just cards and a candy cane or santa chocolate.
Although DD#1 (in High school) does usually buy her close friends little gifts. They don't cost much though. The first time she did extra gifts for close friends she was in Year 6 and said but I wont see a few of them much when we go to different schools next year. She still has one of those little light up santas you can get cheap that one friend gave her that year.
Since then the close friends do little gifts for each other. They usually do those tiny little gift bags and put things like chocolates, candy canes, cute little tree ornaments or anything else christmasy.

No but I would do Christmas cards with a candy cane or something.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 03:54 PM
Most of my friends and I have agreed not to do Christmas gifts. We only buy for 4 extra children - my godson and his sister, and my BFF's children who are practically family (we've been friends for over 30 years!)
Posted 01 December 2012 - 04:54 PM
No way, it's expensive enough buying for our own children.
Christmas cards are handed around school, with chocolate or candy cane enclosed.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 05:03 PM
No. We do Christmas cards only.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 05:17 PM
No, we don't. DD has a lot of friends too and the stress of all of that shopping would do my head in and send us to the poor house.
If you want to go along with it, what you could do is get the same gift for everyone that costs under $5 - like a snow globe or craft kit.
But I would be worried about setting a precedent for her next, as well as your other kids.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 05:24 PM
Too costly/ too time consuming/ too thought consuming/ too hard!
As the years go by, I find myself doing less and less, unfortunately. I can barely muster the emotional energy required to nag my kids into writing their friend's cards at the moment.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 05:55 PM
Many children do cards and candy canes at our school. I don't remember us ever doing it, but if my children asked I would do something small like that.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 06:08 PM
I didn't mind cards and candy canes but my yr 7 came home and said that her and her closest 3 friends wanted to exchange gifts. They're getting a Christmas ornament (50% off) at Target today and a few chocolates. DD said that one kid was spending $10 on each of them. I felt like saying "pull the other one". I think that she has a nice gift to exchange and it is something that they can keep as well, maybe they will still have the ornament in 20 years and remember who gave it to them.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 06:34 PM
I don't at the moment, but something that could work would be perhaps a Cowgirl Cookie mix like This
Posted 01 December 2012 - 06:40 PM
No. Way to much of an expensive exercise for everyone.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 06:50 PM
No. If they want to do something special for a extra special friend they just spend a little extra time doing their card, adding a fabulous drawing and some stickers, etc. Or in the case of my eldest, thinking up witty one liners (or 'in jokes ' that Mum doesn't get) to add to the Christmas message inside.
Edited by CleverChook, 01 December 2012 - 06:50 PM.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 07:00 PM
Christmas card only, possibly a candy cane or chocie.
And I'd really hate if my girls friends started doing gifts. Because then my DD would want to give a gift back, and my other girls would want to do it for THEIR friends, and it would work into a huge expensive activity.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 07:09 PM
DD is making Scoobie keyrings for the family and so made up a couple of extra for close friends.
Classmates receive a card with either a Christmas pencil or eraser sourced from the Reject shop.

No. Cards, yes, presents no, except maybe a candy cane or choc santa with the card.
Most of our close friends have large families to buy for (siblings/neices/nephews etc) so I wouldn't want to add to their present buying burden.
If my son wants to buy other kids presents he can save up and spend his own money! lol
Posted 01 December 2012 - 07:44 PM
No...we did when we went to high school but we had our own money by then

SEXUAL entertainment venues are being discouraged from opening in Worcester - with councillors saying they are worried about "exploitation".
Worcester City Council wants to launch a detailed policy with strict rules to protect staff working in them.
The blueprint, which is now out for 12 weeks public consultation, includes:
- Stringent checks on the date of birth and passport information of any workers in a bid to stamp out people trafficking
- Regular enforcement checks to monitor any staffing movements in and out
- External advertising will only be allowed if it is deemed "acceptable to the council"
- The council has the powers to refuse the locations where any sexual establishments can launch, taking a raft of criteria into account including an area's heritage and nearby schools, parks, homes, libraries and places of worship
The policy, which has been in the making for months, will go out to the public for feedback and is expected to be agreed by full council.
It was given a ringing endorsement by the city's licensing committee on Wednesday, with councillors saying the time is right for a firm policy.
In recent years more and more lapdancing clubs have opened up across the country and back in March last year Worcester had its own, after Black Cherry in Lowesmoor started trading.
The new policy is not in response to any concerns about that venue.
Councillor Richard Udall, speaking during the licensing committee meeting, said: "I've no moral concerns about the industry, it's a legitimate one.
"But I do have concerns about protecting people who work at these places - around the country trafficking exists, compulsion exists, violence exists - I'd hate to think that could happen in Worcester."
Councillor Lucy Hodgson said: "These places have got to be environments where people choose to work and are looked after.
"I welcome this, it should go out for consultation, we've waited long enough for it."
Councillor Jo Hodges said: "One thing we know is that there will be more applications to open sexual entertainment venues in the future.
"Without a policy, should an application be turned down there would be more grounds for an appeal."
Councillor Roger Knight said it was "absolutely the right time" to do it, saying he didn't want Worcester to become like "Soho".
As your Worcester News revealed on Monday, the council has adopted national legislation which tightens up the rules on gentleman's clubs.
When Black Cherry opened, the club was allowed to trade without a sexual entertainment licence after the council failed to accept the legislation when it had the opportunity.
That loophole closed in November after the authority adopted relevant sections of the Policing and Crime Act 2009.

| I just want to express my concern for the proposal of including cloned food in with the non-cloned food and not letting the consumer know which is which. If we have to have cloned food on the market, why can't I, as a consumer, have the option to choose to buy cloned or non-cloned? I know that it is only the offspring, it is safe...but, I would just like the option to know what I am purchasing because I personally do not care to eat this product. Please, give us the choice to make the decisions as to what we put into our bodies and the bodies of our kids. Respectfully, David Stillwell

Kyle Fogg had 23 points to lead the Arizona Wildcats to an emotional 81-73 overtime win over Oregon State in a game that was marred by a late shoving match.
The skirmish, which resulted in ejections to UA's Kyryl Natyazhko and OSU's Joe Burton and two other technical fouls, obscured a wild game that was shot poorly by both teams in the first half and featured a shootout by UA's
Brendon Lavender and OSU's Ahmad Starks in the second half.
Lavender tied his career high with 18 points, hitting 5 of 6 threes, while Starks scored 10 points in the final three minutes of regulation.
The win moved Arizona to 12-5 overall and 3-1 in the Pac-12. OSU dropped to 11-6 and 1-4.
The two teams will not meet in Corvallis this season because of the Pac-12's unbalanced schedule.
The Wildcats went on a 7-0 run in overtime to take a 79-72 lead but the last score set off the fireworks between the teams.
After Fogg made a layup to give UA the seven-point lead and picked up a foul, he bumped OSU's Jared Cunningham and appeared to talk to him, prompting Cunningham to push back. Then UA forward Solomon Hill approached Cunningham and, according to replays, appeared to be winding up to throw a punch.
Toward the end of the skirmish, UA coach Sean Miller found himself pushing both Hill and Kyryl Natyazhko back to the bench, giving Natyazhko a hard shove to the shoulder.
Both Burton and Natyazhko were thrown out on the play, because they both left their benches to join the skirmish, and rules dictate players doing so must be ejected.
Meanwhile, Fogg and Cunningham were given technical fouls. Cunningham and Fogg fouled out, with Cunningham also having picked up a personal foul on Fogg's layup. Jesse Perry took the ensuing free throw for Fogg, but missed.
UA still went on to coast in the final minute.
Lavender and Starks held a furious shootout at the end of regulation, with Lavender hitting five three pointers over the half and Starks catching fire in the final minutes.
Starks put OSU ahead 72-70 with a 14-foot jumper but Arizona's Kyle Fogg scored inside to tie it at 72 with 14 seconds left and Starks missed a final jump shot just before the buzzer to send the game into overtime.
Starks had earlier given the Beavers a 70-69 lead when he hit a three-pointer from the top of the key over Arizona's Jordin Mayes, giving him eight points over a two-minute span as OSU tried to overcome Lavender's heroics.
Lavender tied his career high of 18 points with a fifth three-pointer, with 3:32 left, that gave Arizona a 67-62 lead. However, Starks answered back with a quick, unguarded three-pointer from the top of the key that cut it to 67-65 with 3:16 left.
Lavender hit two more three-pointers on back-to-back UA possessions, giving the Wildcats a 58-54 lead with 7:27 left.
Lavender hit 4 of 5 threes through the first 13 minutes of the second half after not hitting any in the first half.
Arizona tied the game at 44 with 12:16 left when Jordin Mayes made a pair of free throws, and Lavender hit his second three-pointer within two minutes shortly afterward to give UA a 47-44 lead.
Cunningham hit his third and fourth three pointers of the game over a 49-second span early in the second half. More known for his explosiveness and dunking, Cunningham had not made more than two three-pointers in a game during his career.
Cunningham's fourth three gave OSU a 38-34 lead with 17:01 left.
In the first half, Cunningham scored 10 points to lead Oregon State to a 28-26 halftime lead over Arizona in a poorly shot first half by both teams at McKale Center tonight.
The Wildcats made just 32 percent of their field goals, and OSU hit just 31 percent. But the Beavers outrebounded UA 26-18 and had two late three-pointers from Cunningham toward the end of the half.
Arizona was led by Kyle Fogg, who had eight points, while Nick Johnson had six points on a pair of three-pointers.
The Beavers were coming off a four-overtime loss to Stanford and looked shaky in the early minutes. OSU made just 2 of its first 13 field goals, while Arizona took an early 14-7 lead, getting two early threes from Kyle Fogg plus others from Nick Johnson and Josiah Turner.
Arizona had a 14-9 lead at the second media timeout, with 11:42 left. The Wildcats were shooting just 4 of 11 from the field at that point.
The Wildcats' lead shrunk to 16-13 with 7:56 to go despite the fact that OSU had made just 5 of 21 field goals, missing all five threes it had taken to that point.
Then, with 2:36 left, OSU's Joe Burton tied the game at 21 when he hit one of two free throws, and a three-pointer from Cunningham gave OSU a 26-23 lead.
Cunningham, who entered the game hitting just 27 percent from three-point range, had also hit a three-pointer to pull the Beavers to within 21-20 with just over four minutes to go in the first half.
