It's always so nerve-wracking being up there on stage. It's even harder playing in your hometown - and I have a couple of home towns - but, you're playing for all the people you knew in high school, so it causes no small degree of panic in my mind.

The Seal Rocks centre was established to draw tourists to the biggest fur seal colony in the southern hemisphere at Point Grant, the westernmost tip of Phillip Island.
Contracts for the project were signed in 1997 by the previous Kennett Liberal government.
But when the Labor Party won office it blocked proposals to extend the centre and other concessions agreed to by the previous administration.
The government has refused to allow expansion of the centre and other concessions agreed to by the previous Kennett administration.
The government spokesman said yesterday's 4pm deadline for the handover had been set by the private operators, and the government did not recognise its right to walk away at this stage.
Under the contract, the operator could walk away 10 days after an arbitrator's decision.
The operator took this to be 10 days after an interim finding, but the government believed it was after the final finding, due early September.
The government says there are still outstanding transfer, legal, repair and insurance issues to be resolved. But a spokesman for Mr Armstrong has said the government had mishandled the handover.
The spokesman, James Tonkin, said the latest hold-up centred on the government's unwillingness to look after the company's bank debt and failure to approach the centre's staff.

As the school year begins at Maranatha High School, there is a sense of enthusiasm in the air as students reunite after summer break, eager to see what opportunities await. For years, families across the San Gabriel Valley and surrounding areas have chosen Maranatha for their child's education. With the addition of a new student van pool servicing the East San Fernando Valley, students from Toluca Lake, Studio City and neighboring communities are also discovering the Maranatha Difference!
Maranatha High School welcomed the new students to campus on Aug. 17 for their first day of school, uniquely titled "Epic Wednesday". Freshman students were greeted by cheering crowds of upper classmen and the school's Drumline. The new students participated in team building activities, such as the blind-folded balance course and build-your-own cardboard boat races in the pool. The enthusiasm continued the following week with an annual tradition called "Uprising". The entire Maranatha community gathered for a fun-filled day of interactive games and competitions designed to unite the school community at the start of the new year. Students played "Human Foosball", enjoyed unique water games and concluded with a school-wide paint battle. What a great way to start the school year!
Maranatha High School invites you to "Discover the Maranatha Difference" as you consider which high school is the best match for your student. Maranatha is a college preparatory Christian high school located on eleven picturesque acres in Pasadena (adjacent to Old Town). At Maranatha, individual talents are celebrated and nurtured, students are prepared for a successful college experience, and growth is encouraged in the areas of faith and service.
With a rich, 45+ year history, Maranatha's programs continue to expand, creating a wide variety of opportunities for our students. The school's athletic program boasts 44 teams in 18 sports and features a state-of-the-art athletic field, pool and gymnasium. Performing arts students showcase their drama, music (vocal/orchestra) and dance talents on stage at the renowned Ambassador Auditorium. The sharpest minds are challenged with 29 AP and Honors courses from which to choose, and every student can find their niche in one of the 19 student clubs and organizations including international travel opportunities and leadership training.
It's no wonder that Maranatha students enjoy acceptance to a wide variety of 4-year colleges, including Yale, MIT, Cal Tech, Johns Hopkins, Dartmouth, Westmont, USC, Seattle Pacific, Wheaton, Harvey Mudd, Point Loma, West Point, NYU and art and design schools.
Maranatha's Admissions Open House is November 12 at 1 p.m. For more information, call the Admissions Office at (626) 817-4021 and visit the school's website at www.maranatha-hs.org. Tuition assistance is available. Maranatha is accredited by WASC and ACSI.
We look forward to seeing you!Have You Discovered the Maranatha Difference?

The Obama administration has called on supposedly tech-savvy scholars to fix those insufferable ObamaCare websites. A pimply techno-dweeb kid all of 14 could have done the job better in the first place, could fix the mess better now and for 1⁄264th of the cost. ... The way Washington works, mystery-no-more National Security Council tweeter Jofi Joseph, the former Bob Casey staffer fired by the White House after his identity was exposed, eventually will land on his feet — most likely as the Third Deputy Undersecretary to the First Oversecretary for Illegal Private Use of Email for Public Affairs. ... Judicial Watch reports that taxpayers will give the Baltimore Ravens $130,000 to promote ObamaCare. Considering the hundreds of million of dollars in taxpayer money that the Ravens have shaken from the public tree to date, the least they could do is promote this train wreck pro bono. ... Students at the University of Colorado Boulder have been told to avoid certain Halloween costumes. Among them are cowboy costumes. A university mouthpiece calls them a "crude stereotype." Some folks have too much time on their hands, not to mention too much public money in their pockets. ... Seattle City Council has voted unanimously to seize a privately owned parking lot — through eminent domain against its 103-year-old owner — and turn it into a government-owned parking lot. And our "leaders" really wonder why the word "revolution" is on the tip of so many tongues.

West Jordan • An uneasy silence filled the air Tuesday morning as accused cop killer Timothy Troy Walker was led into court.
Maybe it was because of his alleged crime: Walker is accused of ambushing and killing Draper police Sgt. Derek Johnson last month before turning the gun on his girlfriend, Traci Vaillancourt, and then shooting himself.
Or maybe it was the sight of him: Chains around his ankles and handcuffs on his wrists, Walker stood before the judge in yellow jail scrubs with a metal rig of copper and silver wires holding his mouth shut.
He can't speak, said defense attorney Denise Porter. So, Walker nodded to show the judge he understood what was happening.

Hello Eve
I am intrigued by your comment about never ordering marriage
certificates from the local record office. I have been led to believe
that this is the *best* place to order from as they have been
transcribed from the original the least number of times and therefore
most likely to be accurate.
Although it is on a Lancashire site, the conclusions are nationwide ...
However, as I haven't ordered *any* certificates for a few months, I am
willing to be corrected if I have misunderstood anything ;-)

I took the pills
as it was described in the paper that was sent with my pills. Twice a day at
one and four, drinking water and a protein shake with the pill at four. I
started noticing a change at about two weeks. My aureola got bigger and
softer as my breast started to change shape. I stopped having man boobs and
now I have breasts.
I love the new feeling of fullness that I have, and Im sure it wont be long until Ill need to go shopping. Thanks
Jules Thanks BB. Youre all great and youve got one satisfied gal here, and thats for sure.
If you notice (guys) how many other
websites have male testimonials?? I originally began
talking with Grace, she discussed that these pills were
effective on males (which I am by the way). As every
one else I was skeptical still, so I bought one months
I took the product and saw results after only two weeks. I began at an A cup but it was due to my pectoral muscles and they had a wedge shape to them like most men. After two weeks I measured at a 38B cup and my breasts were really soft...
Has grown to a 38-D cup without any no shrinkage or sagging!I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone in the trans-gendered M/F area instead of implants. I have tried a lot of breast enlargement regimes in the past and this is the only one that REALLY WORKS!
I started out I was a small a cup, now after three months I fit into a full c
cup bra. Well I started as an a just kinda playing around and stuff like some of
the others, it was amazing.
I started noticing results after about two or three weeks, and my bra was
getting tight.

Local authors tackle post-college job hunt
Nashville Ledger
Jul 27, 2012
The twin perils of debt and unemployment stalk most college graduates today, so some new thinking might be in order when it comes to the job search. That's the take from Paul Frankenberg and Ethan Dunham, who met when they both were involved with the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt's Accelerator program. The two have co-authored Burn Your Resume, a how-to book for young professionals that veers from the traditional job-search methods new grads usually employ.


text: Hello all! I have a customer with a somewhat steep graded front lawn with very dry turf. This will be my first major front lawn overhaul, so any suggestions will be appreciated! Most grass is dead and will need to be raked out and re-seeded. My question is, how would you handle 're-growing' a lawn on a very dry lot. The soil looks to be nice, no clay or rock, so i'm thinking no top soil is needed. (Probabally the size of a three car garage). I was thinking somewhere along these lines: 1. Rake out entire lawn, dispose of dead grass. 2. Aerate, till soil and rip it up to prepare for seeding. 3. Spread fertilizer (any suggestions? I will be heading to LESCO) 4. Seed (Landscaper's or sun/shade mix) 5. Spread Straw on lawn (Is this necessary???) 6. Have customer water lawn on a regular basis until new growth emerges. That's the game plan I was thinking about going with. Feel free to critique! Thanks!

I have had premature gray hair. I am 32 and have had gray since I was probably 12 years old. Has anyone here reversed GRAY hair.
I take blackstrap molasses ( 1 tbsp) every day. I drink lots of water. Eat very healthy home cooked foods.
I have heard grays can be caused by under-active thyroid? Or mercury toxicity. Or Zinc deficiency? ...
What ever it is are there any testimonies of ppl who have reversed gray hair. What has worked for you.
I found this. It says eating CHIA seeds can prevent/reverse gray.... So now thats in my TODO list.
Also, I have recently started CHLORELLA powder. I am also doing some IODINE....
This is cool. I have a beleif that GRAY HAIR is mostly caused by heavy metal accumulation in the body....And removal of heavy metals is a must.
Copper deficiency is another theory which causes grays. But I think heavy metals prevent the absorption of Copper in the body.
Thats is why, when ppl age, they start getting grays because the heavy metal load in the body has increased. Not that all of sudden they have started consuming foods with less copper.

ARCADIA - Two men were arrested Thursday after a dispute led to one hitting the other with an ax handle, police said.
It happened at 3:30 p.m. on Camino Grove Avenue and 6th Avenue.
Arcadia Police Lt. Mike Castro said the men were at a friend's home when they got into an altercation. He didn't know what started the fight.
One man told police he struck the other with the ax handle because that man was coming at him with a screwdriver, Castro said.
A screwdriver was found with the second man but he denied the alleged attack. He was taken to a hospital, treated for an injury to the back of the head and released, according to Castro.
Due to the conflicting statements, he said the two men were arrested.
Thomas Zion, 24, of Arcadia and Juan Manuel Rodriguezzendejas, 31, of Altadena were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Both were being held in Arcadia jail in lieu of $30,000 bail each.

The Western Hills drainage project should break ground at the end of July after the Copperas Cove City Council approved the $270,000 infrastructure improvement on Tuesday.
Copperas Cove-based Atkinson Homes Inc. was awarded the construction bid for the Western Hills project for about $233,000. The design cost of the project was $37,000 and was completed by Hearn Engineering, according to the city.
"Construction should start around the fourth week of July and be completed within 90 days," said Doug Hearn, of Hearn Engineering, in an email.
By awarding the project to Atkinson Homes, the project should be completed for about $37,000 less than budgeted.
"My understanding is that Atkinson Homes has worked for the city before," said Daryl Uptmore, the city's public works director. He did not see a reason not to accept the bid — the lowest of four submitted from area contractors.
The project will add several inlet boxes and install piping throughout the Western Hills area, according to the city's capital improvement plan. Making additions to the drainage facilities should correct the insufficient rainwater runoff collection system, which creates a greater risk of flooding in the area.
"There are eight to 10 residences along the northern side of Saddle Drive that have been impacted by floodwater in the past," Hearn said, noting the project should correct those issues. Construction will take place on Saddle, Spur, Blanket and Bridle drives, the city said.

Unless you live in Placitas, New Mexico, you are a tourist when you go there. Placitas, a bit north of Albuquerque, is a Spanish land-grant village started around 1765, though the Anasazi were farming its lava-based fields at least 800 years ago and probably before that. Today it is quaint mix of multi-million-dollar homes and curious hippie-era structures both of which are surrounded by orchards and some of which shelter a few vineyards.
Yes, vineyards in the high desert. But don't think Napa or even Creek Bend in Monroe County, Indiana. These vines trail around Jim Fish's eclectic home and art studio and provide grapes for the fruit that makes Anasazi Fields Winery unique. Of course there's something unique about every winery, but this winery's uniqueness is really unique.
As Assistant Manager Gerard Rollins puts it, " we make dry non-grape wines." He would have been content to let things stand there as he pulled out bottle after bottle for us to sample. But after having tasted some two dozen non-grape sweet wines at the Indiana Wine Fair a week or so ago, I was not going to let that explanation stand. I was quite accustomed to peach and apple and cherry and plum and apricot and raspberry wines being unctuous and beautiful with ice cream and rich desserts, and I had even dissed my English friends' contention that if it isn't made from grapes, it's not wine.
But stone fruit and berries, cherries and apples making dry wines? Clear brandies in the Rhine Valley, yes, but dry wines? At Azanasi Fields they even ferment wild cherries (choke cherries back in Indiana) into wine. Gerard poured a couple of their best sellers: A New Mexico Blanco Seco, a blend of Chardonnay and Apricot, and a New Mexico Rojo Seco, a blend of Syrah from their own grapes and Wild Cherry. He stressed that the Chardonnay was harvested in 2009, the Apricots in 2002, the Wild Cherry in 2008. "These wines have extra-ordinary longetivity," he said, and proved it a few minutes later with a pouring of some "library" wines, including a 2000 Apple Wine and a 1996 Lilith Peach Wine.
Gerard explained that all their wines are produced by slow, cool "sugar-starved fermentation of the whole fruit." It can take months to separate the wine from the fruit after which it is then aged in oak. There is no doubting the age. Colors are deep, chocolaty and/or rusty, the flavor suggestive of Sherry and Madeira, the finish lingering. As we talked, a young couple asked for a taste of American Cranberry Wine, which caused Gerard to admit they do not grow cranberries in their orchards. "We get them from Ocean Spray."
He wasn't surprised that this was my first experience with dry non-grape or fruit wines. "We are unique," he said, "but when Jim started the winery in 1995, he did it so that all this good fruit wouldn't go to waste." When we left, he was explaining to some other visitors how they add fresh whole fruit to fermenting wine to assure continuing contact with pips and skins. "It helps the wines to age," he told them.
I felt I had completed my devotion to National Wine Tourism Day.

KAUAI, Hi. (NNS) -- The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) and the United States Missile Defense Agency (MDA) announced the successful completion of an Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) intercept flight test, in cooperation with the U.S. Navy, off the coast of Kauai, Hawaii, Oct. 29.
The event marked the fourth time that a JMSDF ship has engaged a ballistic missile target, including three successful intercepts, with the sea-based midcourse engagement capability provided by Aegis BMD.
The JFTM-4 test event verified the newest engagement capability of the Japan Aegis BMD configuration of the recently upgraded Japanese destroyer, JS KIRISHIMA (DD 174).
At approximately 5:06 p.m. (HST), 12:06 p.m. Tokyo time on Oct. 29, 2010, a separating 1,000 km class ballistic missile target was launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii.
JS KIRISHIMA crew members detected and tracked the target. The Aegis Weapon System then developed a fire control solution and launched a Standard Missile -3 (SM-3) Block IA missile. Approximately three minutes later, the SM-3 successfully intercepted the target approximately 100 miles above the Pacific Ocean.
JFTM-4 is a significant milestone in the growing cooperation between Japan and the United States in the area of missile defense.
Also participating in the test was USS Lake Erie (CG 70) and USS Russel (DDG 59), Aegis ships which cooperated to detect, track and conduct a simulated intercept engagement against the same target.

After months of planning, we are thrilled to be going to Disney World in just less than a month. I have not been to Disney World since I was 11-years-old and when I visited, Hollywood studios was not around. This will be Rhona's first time visiting Disney World. We are thrilled to be taking our now three-year-olds and enjoy it through their eyes, along with the entire family. We have a wonderful travel agent and read excellent suggestions from allears.net. We were wondering what our Busymommi.com visitors would share.
If you had one suggestion to give to a large family visiting Disney World, what would it be?

ABC Kids Expo Results
Things have been so overwhelming, whew! We had a blast at the huge ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas back in September and are very excited to share some of the many wonderful products that impressed us. The On the Way Combination Pillow by Bumpil served many functions as a pillow during pregnancy, a feeding pillow, tummy time and a portable play area for baby. The Hold Me hand woven slings were incredibly gorgeous and photos do not do justice to Danielle Elizabeth Diapers Bags, especially with the fabulous rhinestone detailing. Savi Baby created an informative Infant & Child CPR DVD to ease new parent worries. The Ubi Changing table was quite creative, sleek and makes diaper changing for wiggling babies a breeze. Medibuddy from Me4kidz is a perfectly-sized first aid kit for our son, Noah's diaper bag. Little Love Book has already done half the work for us in their pre-scrapbooked photo album while helping busy mommi's create an adorable scrapbook and photo album. Of the many pacifier clips that we have used, Noah cannot rip off and throw his soft Binkie Bungee pacifier clip by Z. Daisy. Kaboost is a smart way for little ones to feel grown, while sitting at a table with family. K's kid's toy 'I am the Boss' brings that fun ball pit activity to your own home. I wanted to have almost every book we selected in Noah's little library, they are adorable. We hope that you find these products fun and helpful in your busy lives with your bundles of joy. They can all be found here; at BusyMommi.com. Hope to talk to you soon.(This is a picture of Noah being a typical boy at the show while his cousin, Sydney looks at him strangely.)

Well it was a long road but we were thrilled to have finally launched a few weeks ago. We had a blast watching the website come together and selecting wonderful products from some brilliant manufacturers. And now the real fun begins. We feel passionate about each product we chose. We either desired the product for our babies or knew it would have helped us had we known about it when we needed it. The JPMA show in April 2007 in Orlando was a great start. We were able to find some great contacts there and delighted to find Zoobie Pets, Bearington Baby, Trunki, Tubtime Bumpers, Burp Catcher and Woobee by these two girls (which was our first real sale)! The Bubble and ENK shows in NYC were good as well. But this week we will be attending the ABC Kids Expo, the big show, in Las Vegas and we are anxious to discover creative new inventions that were thought up by some amazing minds. We will keep you posted as to what we find and hand select for you at Busy Mommi. Come back over the next few weeks to see our wonderful products grow!

FORMER care home St Edburg's House, a library, offices and council depot in Bicester have been sold off and will be bulldozed to make way for new self-build projects.
There will be a mix of houses and flats, but the county council has not said how many properties will be built on the land it owns in Old Place Yard.
Designs have yet to be agreed but could include homes built to a water-tight shell – where the owner finishes the interior – and plots where the property is built from scratch.
There will also be housing for people who need wheelchair access. These will not be self- build.
Another development, a former highways depot at Coach House Mews, off London Road, will feature 40 one and two bedroom flats.
All four sites were owned by Oxfordshire County Council, but are in the process of being sold to Cherwell District Council to form part of its self-build project, 'Build!' Under the scheme, residents will be able to play a part in building their own home.
The councils have not said how much the sites are being sold for as details are still being finalised.
Bicester Library is still operating in Old Place Yard, but is expected to move to a new £5m civic building in Franklin's Yard car park when it is complete.
Building work will start once the new town centre redevelopment is open – expected to be this summer.
Oxfordshire County Council cabinet member for property, Kieron Mallon, said: "This is a fantastic deal.
"Cherwell will be providing low cost housing within the district and Oxfordshire County Council will have some nomination rights to ensure that those people with disabilities or special housing needs are catered for."
Four sites in Banbury will also be included in the deal – former care home Orchard Lodge, disused offices in Calthorpe House, Calthorpe Road, the former Connexions office in Broughton Road and former care home Lincoln House.
Debbie Pickford, Cherwell's lead member for housing, said it was a "win-win situation" for both councils and residents.
She said: "The purchase of the sites will allow Cherwell to transform existing, vacant eyesores into affordable housing opportunities in key locations for residents in the district.
"Soon these sites will become the focus of attention for all of the right reasons."
Plans have yet to be submitted, but if approved work at the sites is expected to start later this year and should be complete by March 2015.

Holy sh#t! Can you guys believe it? We're now only two weeks away from one of my most-anticipated movies of the year FINALLY making its way to theatres after countless delays over the past year or so. "The Wolfman" has been the center of many rumours and speculation for quite a while now with reports of re-shoots, editing issues, CGI edits, etc. However, it looks like its all finally coming together and I hope the movie is as amazing as it looks from the trailers (history has painfully taught us this isn't always the case).
I'm excited to see Del Toro, Hopkins, Weaving and all the rest of the cast in their respective roles. However, one cast member that intrigues me the most is the stunning and sultry Emily Blunt. This woman has become a great obsession for me over the past few months and I see her becoming a mega-star much sooner than later. We'll just have to wait and see how she manages to hold up to the rest of the film's stellar cast when it releases. Until then, Emily has begun the worldwide promotional tour and her first two stops were Berlin and Rome to which you can see the terrific red carpet shots of her below. Enjoy!

Alice Eve
Alice Eve is the daughter to a couple of British actors, born in London and raised between the UK and Los Angeles, she doesn't have a great deal of movie credits to her name. One of the ones I do remember her from was an indie called BIG NOTHING, a funny little caper flick where she and fellow Brit Simon Pegg each feign American accents and try to one-up each other on the ridiculous level. I really liked her in that movie, enough to check up who she was, but once she was out of sight long enough, she was out of mind.
The next flick that I remember catching her in was the CRASH-type ensemble flick, CROSSING OVER, where she plays an Aussie wannabe model who loses her chance at getting a working Visa and ends up having to work over Ray Liotta in order to obtain one the non-legal but more undressed way. Now, I might not always think that AE has the best face, but damned if she doesn't have one of the most rockin' bods out there, especially all nudie style.
Still, I sit and ponder the question, IS Alice Eve really a "10" chick? Yes, I think she's hot. Yes, I think she can act (rare these days). Yes, I'm a little perturbed by the fact that her next project after this is the SEX & THE CITY 2 sequel, possibly condemning her to career death since she's not one of the leads. I dig on this chick quite a bit from what little I've seen of her so far, but I'm not sure she's a 10 in my personal book.
However, that's not the name of this column, now is it? Do you find Alice Eve Hot or Not?

It's been a while since I delved into an economics theory book to understand why the supply curve slopes upwards. I'm no longer examined on why Ricardo didn't simply live in a country with less rain rather then obsess with its comparable advantage in producing a certain good or service (perhaps we unconsciously choose rain and misery?). At school I recall that the beloved texts of Richard Lipsey were best used to help keep the windows open so that we could smoke out of them. However, following this morning's GDP figures, it occurs to me later in life that there is a clear reason why productivity in the UK labour market is not picking up with falling unemployment and that Q4 GDP growth is only 0.7% (as expected). It's actually a shame that Mark (Carney) the new Canadian boss at The Bank of England recently abandoned linking interest rate policy with unemployment (because the rate moved back up to 7.2% – marginally away from the previously key 7% level) but for me, 3 of the key features of last week's ONS employment stats were as follows:
1) There are now 580,000 unfilled jobs in the UK economy, levels not seen since 2008.
2) 4.3 million of us are now self employed, a figure that has grown 15% since 2008-9.
3) Youth Unemployment (16-25 year olds) dropped 48,000 from the previous quarter to 917,000 – moving further away from the worrying 1m+ figures at the depth of the recession – but most worryingly, 250,000 of them have been out of work for longer than a year.
I don't currently have the time or inclination (old excuses die harder than memory) to delve into figures and theory much further (perhaps you do in which case we welcome your comments) but there is a view emerging that there is an explanation for a recent economic paradox.
Economists warn us that, ceteris paribus (how I miss using those 2 words), productivity (output per unit of input) weakness (0.6% this year versus 5.6% in 2009) and spare capacity (factors of production not being used to their fullest capacity – think of a drooping sail) in the economy will lead to higher (wage) inflation (too much money chasing too few goods) which would mean interest rates (the price of money) will have to go up sooner than we thought (in time for the next election in Q2 2015 as the markets suggest). An interpretation becoming more common though is that the relationship between productivity and 'unemployment' has broken down for structural reasons. More and more people are self employed (as many as 38% of net job adds in the last 12 months) and underemployed (89% of those who have become self employed since the recession work – or generate pay to work – less than 30 hours a week). So perhaps there is room for the economy to grow without a risk of (excessive) inflation. This is substantiated by looking at the space we know best: an ONS report on Graduates in the UK Labour Market in November 2013 suggested that 47% of graduates who had completed a degree in the last 5 years were working in non-graduate roles. Many are also working in paid or unpaid internships. Underemployed graduates should start to earn bigger wage packets but we continually quote a stat that every £1 invested responsibly in graduates generates a Return On Investment of 530% over 3 years – now that's productivity. UK inflation figures came in below the Bank Of England target of 2% last week and many still worry about deflation but wage inflation is a real concern (though National Minimum Wage rising to £7 an hour is more than necessary).
The government's focus on entrepreneurialism (an easy way to wash their hands of the 'lost generation') has only exaggerated the productivity problems to date. Underemployment of UK graduates and the proliferation of part time and self employment masks the harsh reality of an economy that looks stronger on the face of it than it actually is and employment figures that are actually worse. I used to work at the same bank as the respected economist Stephen King (not that one but it is a horror story of sorts) who warns in his book 'When The Money Runs Out' that the irresponsible flooding of the economy with cheap money in recent years will soon come home to roost (when the punch bowl gets taken away and the hangover commences) and turmoil will result. When rates do eventually rise (as sterling strength of 10% in the last year implies) given a booming housing market and at least the threat of inflation, then trouble could loom. But real unemployment or underemployment is still high and inflation is still (relatively) low so interest rates could arguably remain low for a while longer yet. The government has done well to stick to its knitting and stimulate economic growth (6 year highs and some of the strongest in the Western world) but it is still below pre-recession levels and perhaps obsessing with supply side solutions (Ricardo himself explained why the supply curve slopes upwards – because producers choose to supply more when the price is higher) isn't the only solution. Keynesian thought suggests that we should not be obsessing with cutting borrowing and flooding the economy with cheap money (King might agree); rather we should be using demand side tools including increased government expenditure (and not just on HS2) to address structural issues in an ever changing economy, help the lost generation to find itself and boost productivity. Our calls for more subsidised internships (first made in 2010) remain.

My 5 Fave Curly Hair Products
These are my go-to products to add bounce to my locks.
-Faye Brennan
Here's a little fun fact about me: I was voted "Best Hair" in High School because I wore my naturally curly hair with pride. Sure, it took me years to learn how to style it correctly, and every now and then I'd get teased for how big it was, but on the days it came out well, it truly was unlike anyone else's.
Nowadays, I wear it straight most of the time, but I love to break out the curls every once in awhile. Fellow curly-haired girls always ask me what products I use, so I'm sharing them with you now!
1. Tresemme Flawless Curls shampoo ($5.14, overstockdrugstore.com) and 2. Tresemme Flawless Curls conditioner ($3.87, walmart.com)
I am a Tresemme girl through and through. I swear by their shampoo and conditioner, because they leave my hair soft, silky, and best of all, knot-free. Any woman with curly hair knows how important a detangling product is – a thick moisturizing conditioner like this is all I need.
3. L.A. Looks Curl Look frizz control gel mega hold ($3.99, cvs.com)
After getting out of the shower and brushing my hair with a wide-tooth comb, I use L.A. Looks Gel twice: first, I run a dime-sized amount through my hair with my fingers to coat all of the strands. Then, I take another dime-sized amount and, with my head upside down, I scrunch my hair in my hands and shake my roots until I see the curls forming. Afterwards, I'll wrap my hair lightly in a towel.
4. Tresemme TRES Two professional formula hair spray, extra hold ($2.99, walgreens.com)
This is my secret weapon and the only hairspray I like to use. Before drying all the way, I will spray a light layer of hairspray to cover all of my hair (this really helps avoid frizz). I'll also use hairspray after drying to keep flyaways in place, or to revive the curls later on during the day.
5. Conair Cord-Keeper hair dryer ($34.99, jcpenney.com)
Using a diffuser is really the most important step to getting great, bouncy curls. When diffusing my hair, I like to flip my head upside down, pile some curls in to the top of the diffuser, and hold it in place for about thirty seconds. If you dry your hair like this in sections, you'll have great all-over curls that will last the whole day. For an edgier look, try straightening the ends of your hair with a flat iron – it looks great!
Faye Brennan is assistant editor at BettyConfidential.

It has a translucent shell, lives in complete darkness and crawls only a few millimeters a week.
This is how scientists describe a new species of snail discovered more than 3,000 feet underground in Croatia's Lukina Jama–Trojama cave, according to the Press Trust of India. The findings, published in the journal Subterranean Biology, describe how the tiny, fragile snail lives in one of the deepest cave systems in the world."They only creep a few millimeters or centimeters a week, and mainly in circles, grazing at one point where they live," taxonomist Alexander Weigand at Goethe-University in Frankfurt, Germany said.
The new snail species, Zospeum tholussum, was found by a team of cavers and biologists from the Croatian Biospeleological Society. While on an expedition to determine the cave's depth, they collected animal specimens including one of the previously unidentified snails along with eight of its empty shells.

1. An interview can strengthen intergenerational bonds and
bridge the generation gap. Most elders welcome the opportunity to share
their memories and their wisdom with younger generations — and the
young usually enjoy listening to them.
2. Studies show that reminiscing is an important endeavor for
people as they age. An interview encourages them to reminisce and
provides an opportunity to awaken long-forgotten memories.

Media figures argue that $250,000 in income is "not wealthy"
Several media figures have asserted that annual income of more than $250,000 is -- in the words of Rush Limbaugh -- "not wealthy" in order to attack President Obama's 2011 budget proposal to allow the Bush tax cuts on families earning more than $250,000 per year to expire as scheduled. According to 2006 Census data, households that earn more than $250,000 per year make up approximately two percent of all U.S. households.
Media figures assert that income of $250,000 is not wealthy
Limbaugh: "$250,000 is not wealthy." On the February 1 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, Limbaugh said, "Ladies and gentlemen, $250,000 is not wealthy. And I know that you families, $250,000 -- you're not wealthy. Wealthy -- but Obama calls, the Democrats have always called those kind of people wealthy." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 2/1/10 [1]]
Fox's MacCallum: "[P]eople who make $250,000 -- in some parts of this country, they may not consider themselves rich." During the February 2 broadcast of Fox News' America's Newsroom, co-host Martha MacCallum stated that the revenue provisions in Obama's budget would affect "the rich, that is people who make over $250,000," adding, "in some parts of this country, they might not consider themselves rich." [America's Newsroom, 2/2/10 [2]]
CNN's Chetry: "Some would argue that in some parts of the country that [$250,000] is middle class." On the February 1 edition of CNN's American Morning, anchor Kiran Chetry discussed "letting taxes expire for families that make over $250,000," and stated, "Some would argue that in some parts of the country that is middle class." [American Morning, 2/1/10 [3]]
Less than 2 percent of households earn more than $250,000 per year
Census data shows that only 2 percent of households earn more than $250,000 annually. According to the 2006 Current Population Survey [4] by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2.2 million out of 116 million households -- less than two percent of all U.S. households -- earn more than $250,000 annually.
Limbaugh reportedly makes $50 million per year
Limbaugh "will be paid about $400 million" through 2016. As Media Matters previously documented [5], Rush Limbaugh reportedly [6] signed an eight-year, $400 million contract with Clear Channel Communications and its syndication subsidiary, Premiere Radio Networks, in July 2008. According to The New York Times, Limbaugh's "$50 million a year paycheck represents a raise of about $14.4 million a year over his current contract, which was paying him $285 million over eight years and was set to expire in 2009."

Big machinery moves in
Big machinery moves in
An important phase in the proposed project to divert the Manawatu River and stabilise Anzac Cliffs is expected to begin next week.
Horizons group manager operations Allan Cook says heavy machinery will be set up on the gravel beach opposite the cliffs to improve the foundation of the river bed, before realignment of the channel and re-contouring of a section of the cliffs.
"The initial work will involve drilling 800mm diameter holes in the river bed and replacing the weaker sandy gravel material with compacted graded 'stone columns' of greater strength. This will support the earth buttress which will be constructed against the cliff," said Mr Cook.
"The columns will extend up to six metres below water level. Subject to achieving the desired improvement, we expect to build approximately 200 columns at this stage and work could take up to three weeks to complete."
The more substantial channel realignment and associated earthworks, that will reduce the slope of and stabilise the cliff face, are scheduled to commence later in the year. Further foundation improvement work will be required as part of those works once the river has been diverted out of its present low-flow channel.
Mr Cook says the overall project is one of collaboration between Horizons, Palmerston North City Council and P M B Landco, who own land at the top of the cliffs.
"All parties have an interest in seeing this project completed and have been working together through the design and planning stages for some years now," says Mr Cook.
"The key drivers for the project are the need to protect the integrity of the City's stopbanks opposite the cliffs; to mitigate the risk to public safety as a consequence of cliff collapse; and to prevent the river encroaching on existing community infrastructure and residentially zoned land in the Vaucluse Heights area.
"Other benefits include the opportunity for a walkway between Fitzherbert Bridge and Vaucluse Heights, and an end to an estimated 20,000 cubic metres of sediment currently discharged into the river from cliff erosion each year."
For safety reasons, the works site will be closed to public access. However, there will be minimal disruption to use of the shared pathway along the affected section of river, between Albert Street and Fitzherbert Avenue.

Vice President Dick Cheney and other top US officials held off from a victory dance at the fall of Baghdad today and cautioned that the Iraq war was not over yet.
Still, a wave of euphoria swept through the administration as President George W Bush and everybody else tuned in to dramatic television images of Saddam Hussein's statue being toppled and the severed head dragged away by jubilant Iraqis.
US officials were being cautious because Iraq is not secure from Baghdad up north to the Kurdish-controlled part of the country, including Saddam's hometown of Tikrit.
Saddam's whereabouts remained unknown after a bombing attack on Monday.
Cheney told the American Society of Newspaper Editors in New Orleans that "we still have a lot to do".
"In dealing with such an enemy, we must expect vicious tactics until the regime's final breath. The hardest combat could still be ahead of us," Cheney said.
Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld fired a shot across the bow at Iraq's neighbour, Syria, saying Saddam supporters were escaping across the border to Syria and that Damascus was ignoring US warnings not to help Iraq's military.
Rumsfeld, criticised early during the three-week-old war for a war plan that at the time seemed to underestimate the extent of Iraqi resistance, sounded like he felt he had been vindicated.
"Tomorrow will mark three weeks since Operation Iraqi Freedom began, and the progress of the men and women in uniform who make up the coalition forces has been nothing short of spectacular," he said.
And the lantern-jawed defence secretary could not resist some chest-thumping at the Pentagon.
"Saddam Hussein is now taking his rightful place alongside Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Ceausescu in the pantheon of failed brutal dictators, and the Iraqi people are well on their way to freedom," he said.
The Bush administration was planning to move quickly to the post-war phase.
The United States was setting up a meeting in southern Iraq sometime after Saturday between a US delegation and Iraqis, the first in a series of regional meetings aimed at establishing the Iraqi Interim Authority that will lead the country until an elected government is formed.
"We hope that these meetings will culminate in a conference to be held in Baghdad and the conference can form the Iraqi Interim Authority," said State Department spokesman Richard Boucher.
Iraqi National Congress leader Ahmad Chalabi said the United States has identified about 43 Iraqi leaders - 14 former exiles and about 29 from inside the country - to take part in the meeting.
Boucher said the meeting should not be described as a "coronation" for Chalabi.
The CIA has said it does not consider Chalabi a credible Iraqi leader, although the US military flew him to Nasiriyah on Sunday, giving his group a head start over other Arab opposition groups in establishing a political presence under US protection.

The location is superb.It is very quiet and away from any kind of noise.The rooms are spacious and they have a roustic character.They were very clean. The heating was not enough.There is no central heating and the air conditioning was not enough to heat the room.
Excellent quality/price ratio (but I rent a room in special offer).
the location is in a quiet natural place just 1 km from the wonderful St.Severina Village. The restaurant is very good. The room have a traditional style which is very beautiful and very comfortable as well. The staff is helpful. The price is excellent.
We very much enjoyed the location of the hotel and it's silence. The reception was very friendly and helpful. The old furniture in the rooms was a bit stinky. The breakfast was being served a bit late.
The location up in the mountains in a hill town area was wonderful - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Good central location to visit the beaches and the interior of the country (natural park Le Sila). Very friendly staff. Diner is excellent.
Excellent experience. The accommodation was amazing value for the price. For 28 euros I stayed in a very large room all by myself with a huge bed and very nice bathroom. They have a pool and breakfast and dinner are included (and delicious!) What really set it apart, though, was the hospitality of the staff. I am a young woman traveling alone, and they really took care of me.
Very nice and comfortable place for peaceful relaxing with the great mountain views and a nice dog called Maara. Some of the staff spoke English and the medieval town Santa Severina was great and autenthic.
Some of the staff spoke good English (a rarity in Calabria).

The NFL Players Association has filed grievances against the NFL which challenges Commissioner Roger Goodell's authority to suspend the current and former New Orleans Saints who participated in the team's bounty program.
The NFLPA complaints make the following claims:
"The bigger issue is, is this a commissioner issue or a system arbitrator issue?" NFL business analyst Andrew Brandt said on ESPN's SportCenter. "The NFLPA is trying hard to take this out from under Goodell."
PHOTOS: Bounty scandal in pictures
Back in August, the NFLPA signed off on a CBA which gave Goodell sole authority over penalties and appeals for off-field player conduct.
On May 2, Goodell suspended current Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma for the 2012 season, former Saints defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove (now with the Green Bay Packers) for eight games, Saints defensive end Will Smith for four games, and former Saints linebacker Scott Fujita (now with the Cleveland Browns) for three games.
When the punishments were handed down, NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith promised to "vigorously protect and pursue all options" on behalf of the players. He and Vilma said the league has not produced any evidence to support its ruling.
Yet a former U.S. Attorney hired by the NFL to evaluate the case against the Saints said Thursday the investigation yielded "an unusually strong record" derived from "firsthand knowledge and corroborated by documentation."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

For decades, Americans have been turning toward spirituality as a protest vote against conventional religion. In the last dozen years, American religious institutions have undergone a myriad of crises--abuse scandals, conflicts, schism, and partisan political entanglement, to name a few--resulting in a great religious recession. Poll after poll reveals that organized religions --mainline Protestant, evangelical, Roman Catholic, and Jewish --are in varying states of disarray and decline. Sadness, even doom, has gripped many congregations, as the formerly faithful disaffiliate, and those who remain struggle to pay clergy and fix leaky roofs.
The bored and wounded have fled religion seeking new spiritual connections. Some 30 percent of Americans now identify as "spiritual but not religious," around 9 percent are atheists and post-theists. But the growth of these two groups is not news. Their numbers have been rising for thirty years.
What is new? In my research, it's the "ands." Those who say they are "spiritual and religious." In 1999, 54 percent of Americans said they were "religious but not spiritual," while six percent said "spiritual and religious." By 2009, the percentages had reversed: "religious but not spiritual" fell from 54 percent to nine percent as the "spiritual and religious" rose from a mere six percent of the population to nearly half, an astonishing 42 point change.
"Ands" want religion revolutionized by spirituality; they want spirituality grounded upon (but not guarded by) ancient wisdom, theologies, and practices. They demand more authenticity, meaning, justice, and community from religious institutions, not less. In these longings, the "ands" voice an older way of understanding religion, where faith should and must be an experience of God that transforms one's life for the sake of the world. If the "ands" are the vanguard of change, then the great religious recession is about to give way to a great spiritual awakening. Is this the end of religion or only the beginning of a new, and better, form of faith?
* * * * *
Is religion dying -- or reinventing?

Last week, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill that prohibits the sale of any baby bottles or cups that contain more than 0.1 parts per billion of bisphenol A (BPA). With the bill scheduled to take effect in July 2013, consumers will slowly start seeing more BPA-free bottles on the market – and not just in the state of California. Connecticut, Maine, Maryland and Minnesota have similar bans in effect.

The Not-so-Diet Diet Soda
At an American Diabetes Association meeting this past Sunday, researchers announced that while diet sodas may be free of calories, they are not free of health risks.
In a study held by the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonia, researchers followed the health of 474 diet soda drinkers for 10 years. After the testing period came to an end, they found that the participants who drank diet soda increased their waist size by 70% more than those who completely avoided low-calorie and calorie-free soft drinks.
What concerned the authors even more were the health risks they found to be associated with drinking diet sodas. Previous studies have suggested that chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other health risks may be directly correlated to an individual's waist size. In hopes of supporting this claim, the UT Health Science Center research team tested the correlation between diet soda consumption and diabetes in mice. They found that the mice that consumed food laced with aspartame (the sweetener in some diet sodas) had higher blood sugar levels than the mice that ate normal food, which means that the artificial sweetener aspartame could very well contribute to the development of diabetes in humans, too.

Promotional Products and Proposition 65
We all know California tends to be a bit on the progressive side compared to the rest of our nation – having been the first state to legalize gay marriage, the first to ban the distribution of plastic bags, and, perhaps a bit lesser known, the first to initiate a law requiring businesses to include warning labels on all products containing hazardous chemicals (a list of more than 700), as well as prohibit companies from discharging these substances into drinking water sources. This law, commonly termed Proposition 65, and formally titled the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, came about from growing public dissatisfaction in the 1980s regarding what they perceived as a lack of effort on the part of the state government to protect its citizens from exposure to certain toxics, in particular from those companies who knowingly produced products that included an unsafe amount of these chemicals.
While the Act has good intentions, seeking to protect consumers, it is important to note the use of many of the chemicals that it deems are hazardous to our health is not prohibited by national government agencies including the FDA. Additionally, though it cited that the chemicals listed are those that are "known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity," in reality, many of those listed only have the potential to pose these risks under certain circumstances and based upon certain interpretations of scientific data. An example of this is one prominent case that occurred in 2006 when California Attorney General Bill Lockyer and Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo sued Atlanta-based Coca-Cola, alleging it used lead-based paint on bottle labels imported from Mexico. In reality, the lead content present in those bottles was negligible. Dr. F. Jay Murray, a toxicologist and a founding member of the Proposition 65 Science Advisory Board even stated regarding the lead content in the Coca-Cola bottles, "In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency says you could drink 10 times as much lead in drinking water and be safe. Many consumers in Los Angeles and around the state actually drink tap water with higher levels of lead than are in these beverages."
Regardless, the law has made a big impact on business, including within the realms of the promotional products industry, and beyond just within the borders of the State of California. Companies throughout the country that manufacture promotional products are either being met with high costs of reformulating products or repackaging them to include the proper warning labels, and those that do not contain the proper warning labels have the potential to receive penalties as high as $2,500 per violation per day, or facing serious threats to the future public perception of their company in the midst of media-frenzied lawsuits – hundreds of which, like the Coca-Cola suit, have been brought about by private consumers throughout the past two decades. Due to a combination of fear of these possible consequences, a lack of monetary funding needed to make the necessary changes to products, and concern that customers outside the state of California who are not aware of the details of Proposition 65 will be led to believe that their products are truly unsafe based upon the warning labels, many promotional products companies have decided to stop distributing their products to California altogether.
At Pinnacle Promotions, we offer many custom printed promotional items that are Proposition 65 compliant, such as our promotional BPA-free bottles. If you are a company in California, or a company that will be distributing any of your purchases to the state of California, simply let your Account Manager know and they will make sure the products you choose adhere to all Proposition 65 guidelines.
For more information about Proposition 65, and to see the entire list of prohibited chemicals, you can visit the State of California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment website at http://www.oehha.org/prop65.html.

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) are recognized as strong risk factors of vascular calcifications in non dialysis chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD) patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between FGF23, OPG, and coronary artery calcifications (CAC) in this population and to attempt identification of the most powerful biomarker of CAC: FGF23? OPG?
195 ND-CKD patients (112 males/83 females, 70.8 [27.4–94.6] years) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. All underwent chest multidetector computed tomography for CAC scoring. Vascular risk markers including FGF23 and OPG were measured. Logistic regression analyses were used to study the potential relationships between CAC and these markers.The fully adjusted-univariate analysis clearly showed high OPG (=10.71 pmol/L) as the only variable significantly associated with moderate CAC ([100–400[) (OR?=?2.73 [1.03;7.26]; p?=?0.04). Such association failed to persist for CAC scoring higher than 400. Indeed, severe CAC was only associated with high phosphate fractional excretion (FEPO4) (=38.71%) (OR?=?5.47 [1.76;17.0]; p?=?0.003) and high FGF23 (=173.30 RU/mL) (OR?=?5.40 [1.91;15.3]; p?=?0.002). In addition, the risk to present severe CAC when FGF23 level was high was not significantly different when OPG was normal or high. Conversely, the risk to present moderate CAC when OPG level was high was not significantly different when FGF23 was normal or high.
Our results strongly suggest that OPG is associated to moderate CAC while FGF23 rather represents a biomarker of severe CAC in ND-CKD patients.

1. Re: Could read-only subscriber pass through query if no rows found?ChrisJenkins-Oracle Nov 22, 2012 8:07 AM (in response to 914264)Firstly, we need to be careful of terminology to avoid lots of confusion.1 person found this helpful
Pass-through is a TimesTen feature which allows queries and DML to be re-directed to the backend Oracle DB is (a) the query uses syntax not understood by TimesTen, (b) the query references one or more tables that are not cached in TimesTen or (c) the user has explicitly asked for the query/DML statement to be 'passed through'. Pass-through has nothing to do with finding or not finding rows to match a query/DML operation.
I beliefe what you are referring to is 'dynamic load' where, for a cache group declared as 'dynamic' (e.g. CREATE DYNAMIC ASYNCHRONOUS WRITETHROUGH CACHE GROUP ...), TimesTen will, on a 'no rows found' condition, for certain classes of query/operation, then go an look in Oracle DB.
When replicating cache groups using A/S pair replication, the cache tables and cache groups are present in both masters (active and standby) as actual cache groups and cache tables. If replication readonly subscribers are used, any cache tables are present there as regular tabels, not cache tables. So DYNAMIC LOAD is not available for queries in readonly subscribers. EVen if the tables were present as cache tabels / cache groups it would still not be possible since by definition these subscribers are readonly and dynamic load implies modification to the tables (the dynamically loaded rows must be inserted). The Pass-through feature is available at read-only subscribers.
I hope that clarifies.
