But once in awhile, a subject line will catch my eye and I gravitate to it first, buy Clindamycin Gel without a prescription.
Today's attention getter? It just read: Post??
It was from my best friend, Karen. Weird. Because I thought she was at her parent's house on vacation in Florida with her family. I wouldn't expect to see an email from her this morning, Buy Clindamycin Gel Without Prescription. Ordering Clindamycin Gel online, I did have other emails filling my box before Karen's:
Pavlina at Bobbi Marcus PR in LA sends out a request on behalf of the ASCAP Event Season 2009. She asks if Sugarluxe would donate work to the Pop Music Awards Show, Clindamycin Gel used for, Order Clindamycin Gel from mexican pharmacy, April 22nd, at Kodak Theater / The Renaissance Hollywood Complex in Los Angeles. I'm already overbooked on donations this year, buy generic Clindamycin Gel, Kjøpe Clindamycin Gel på nett, köpa Clindamycin Gel online, but maybe you'd like to learn more about some of the cool things going on in the Hollywood Celebrity circles.
Jessica at Shecky's in New York announces that their next big Girls Night Out event in Dallas has over 6000 women registered to attend. I've never participated in one of their events...but if I were ever going to do a designer trade show event...this would be the one. These girls are really awesome.
Tricia at Avalon Communications in Austin confirms high profile media outlets, like The View and E!, low dose Clindamycin Gel, Clindamycin Gel schedule, will feature her company's Gift Bags. I haven't done Celebrity Gift Bags since I first started my company...but if I were to ever do it again, I would consider Avalon Communications because the Founder, buy Clindamycin Gel online cod, Clindamycin Gel from mexico, Kristyn Hutzell is a graduate of University of Texas. I like to support fellow alums as much as I can.
But those are the kind of emails I get every day. So, sorting through the opportunities, Clindamycin Gel online cod, Buy Clindamycin Gel from mexico, I am pleased to spot something from a friend. Weird. Because I am a workaholic whose living depends on identifying great opportunities. But without my friends, order Clindamycin Gel online c.o.d, Purchase Clindamycin Gel online, and particularly my best friend, there would probably be no Sugarluxe, buy Clindamycin Gel without prescription. About Clindamycin Gel, When I opened Karen's email, I did exactly as I do every time I read anything she writes. I laugh. She always makes me laugh, Clindamycin Gel from canadian pharmacy.
Karen decided to write a blog post on the Sugarluxe Giveaways. That's the first part that cracked me up because she wanted to earn extra entries into the drawing with a blog post about it - ala THE OFFICIAL RULES Buy Clindamycin Gel Without Prescription, . Buy Clindamycin Gel online no prescription, Based on how much I talk about Karen...you probably know I would do anything for her. Including giving her anything I ever make for FREE. Perhaps that sounds unfair...but she's my best friend. And that's why I am blown away every time she buys something; she has never expected anything for free from me. She has supported my vision for years.

Clindamycin Gel canada, mexico, india, I sure hope she doesn't mind me sharing. Here's how her email started out...
Karen to Chandra: So, I have been wanting my 15 extra entries and have been pondering my blog post/FB post. This is what I have come up with, and since these are details about you, I wanted to give you post approval. Let me know if there is anything you want me to strike from the record (like the pop music crack).
Title: 25 Things Redux: Sugarluxe Edition
So this thing has been around the world and back, even garnering a snarky article in Time Magazine. Whatever. I find it gratifying to know details about people, no matter how inconsequential, and enjoy the order and conciseness of lists...so different from the way I actually live my life, Buy Clindamycin Gel Without Prescription.
I am changing things up just a little here by posting a 25 Things list about someone else, specifically Chandra Michaels, the artist behind brand Sugarluxe, and a BFF from way back. Sure, she's done her own FB list, but this one will show how she looks through my eyes.
So, here goes:
I know. Denied. No outbound link. Right now, I'm still trying to decide whether or not to link to Karen's list. It's not like she needs visitors to her blog, it's totally a personal space. And...I feel quite conspicuous about sending anyone to see how fabulous my best friend says that I am. I mean, clearly, there's a bias. So, I'm a happier person today just knowing that she feels this way. If she REALLY wants me to link - I will. But for now, I'm simply reveling in the sweetness by myself.
And here's my reply...
Chandra to Karen: I have started typing this line for 45 minutes. Erasing it every time because I just didn't know what to say and couldn't possibly write anything that would even come close to conveying how this made me feel.
Even with your innate talent for writing, even though you are so hilarious that funniness can't help but be attached to whatever you say, and even though you could make a turd seem trendy and cool - I will ignore all of that and just hope for a moment that I am half as great as you make me sound. I will keep these statements with me for the rest of my life. I will read them every time I feel down and I want to giggle again. I will never ever forget that you remember so much and that is a gift, in and of itself.
You need to write...all the time. I know you're so busy with two little ones, but I hope one day...you start writing your series of books. The kind our girls would grow up on. Some kind of Flowers in the Harry Potter Twilight Attic.
As a girl who knows me better than any other, this is an example of friendship at its best. And you are always best.
My wish for every woman in the world is that we all have at least one friend in our lives like Karen. Friendships with females aren't always easy and seem to be more difficult to maintain the older we get. But there is just nothing that can compare to finding, keeping and loving your Best Friend Forever.

Earth Science makes a complete line of body care products to keep you looking great (and smelling great, too). These botanical formulas combine the best of nature and science, offering remarkable results without parabens or artificial colors. Frequently Asked Questions Do you use parabens to preserve your products? Always paraben free. Earth Science products have been on the market for over thirty years and have never contained parabens. Do you test your products on animals? Earth Science products are cruelty free. Earth Science products are never tested on animals. Do you use animal derived ingredients? Which products are considered vegan?Earth Science products are suitable for vegans, with the exception of the following: Azulene Eye Treatment contains beeswax Hair Treatment Shampoo contains hydrolyzed silk protein Hair Treatment Conditioner contains hydrolyzed silk protein Olive & Avocado Deep Conditioning Shampoo and Masque contain hydrolyzed silk protein Why is propylene glycol used in your deodorants?Propylene glycol enables Earth Science deodorants to be applied smoothly in a stick form and helps to stabilize the base of anti-microbial plant ingredients. They have researched glycerin as a substitute, and found that the glycerin acts as a moisture binder that encourages bacterial growth, which causes odor. All of their deodorants have been formualted carefully to ensure they are safe and effective. I have allergies, environmental sensitivities, easily irritated skin, etc. Are your products safe for me? At Earth Science, they pride themselves on making gentle products that are suitable for a wide range of skin types and sensitivities. Many of the loyal customers consider themselves chemically sensitive. However, no product is guaranteed to be perfect for everyone. Allergies are particular to individuals. If you have environmental sensitivies, allergies or skin conditions, please share the list of ingredients with your dermatologist to determine individual suitability. Additionally, they recommend patch testing the product on the inside of your wrist, prior to use, to confirm compatibility with your skin. Do you use a masking fragrance in your fragrance free products?Earth Science does not use masking fragrances. Their products labeled fragrance free are just that. They are specifically formulated for their customers with heightened sensitivity to fragrances. What does the word "parfum" mean on your labels? Earth Science uses the INCI system of cosmetic ingredient labeling (International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients). INCI is the international standard that most of the world uses, and will likely become the standard in the U.S. as well. Earth Science uses INCI because it gives the most detailed and accurate information about particular ingredients. The INCI standard requires "Fragrance (parfum)" be listed for an ingredient or blend of ingredients included for fragrance purposes. Even all-natur al fragrances must be labeled as "Fragrance (parfum)" to comply. Earth Science uses only pure essential oils or natural fragrance equivalents. What are the antioxidants and how do they help my skin stay healthy?In the body, molecules called "free radicals" cause oxidation. Oxidation can damage healthy skin cells and may accelerate aging of the skin. Antioxidants are ingredients found naturally in plants which neutralize molecules that cause oxidation. They can help to prevent premature aging of the skin. I have sensitive, maturing skin. Can I use your Active Age Defense products?Earth Science Active Age Defense (AAD) products are formulated for sensitive, maturing skin. All are pH balanced to ensure their compatibility with delicate skin. These AAD products are also enriched with skin soothing ingredients such as kola nut extract, licorice root extract and echinacea. What role does pH play in skin care? What is the normal pH of healthy skin? pH is a measure of the acidity of alkalinity of a solution. A lower pH indicates a more acidic solution (which carries more potential for redness and irritation). A higher pH means a more alkaline solution (which some can find drying). The pH of normal, healthy skin can be anywhere from 4.0 to 6.0. Each Earth Science product is precisely pH balanced for specific suitability. Some of your ingredients are unfamiliar. What are they and where do they come from? Azulene - the concentrated extract of blue chamomile flowers and contains the distilled rich oil of Chamomile. It takes thousands of flowers to yield a small amount of the Chamazulene. This ingredient gives several of their products the vibrant blue hue. Azulene is an extraordinary anti-irritant. Hyaluronic Acid - The perfect moisturizer, hyaluronic acid can bind 500-1,000 times its own weight in water, immediately plumping and hydrating the skin without greasiness. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin and body and decreases as you age. So safe and gentle, it is used during eye surgery to help keep the eye moist. Earth Science obtains their hyaluronic acid from cultured sugar beets or other vegetable sources. Lichen - This extract is obtained from the tiny lichen plant. It is a completely natural, effective anti-bacterial alternative to harsh chemicals and synthetics. Micellized Beta-Carotene - Oil-soluble Beta-Carotene is reduced to such small particle size that little or no distinction can be made between it and water in the formula. This ingredient is readily absorbed by the skin, and helps combat the signs of aging. My Fragrance-Free Shampoo is a different color than it has been in the past. Why is it sometimes clear and other times a shade of gold?Earth Science uses a gentle preservative system in their products. Because of this, the color of Fragrance Free Shampoo can change over time. This is a normal and natural process and you may continue to use your product as usual. Giving BackAs a family-run business, Earth Science values giving back to and staying connected with the national and local communities. Earth Science Naturals has been a strong supporter of not only global environmental concerns, but also local organizations that work toward building healthy, sustainable communities, through planting trees, funding educational programs, pet adoptions or providing meals. This is why they partner with schools, community events, environmental organizations, art programs and more.

Raise the minimum wage? It's a rank political ploy
Desperate to distract voters from ObamaCare's botched rollout, Democrats see minimum-wage hikes as their salvation issue in 2014 gubernatorial and congressional elections. But their campaign strategy promises losses for jobless Americans, job-creating small businesses and the economy as a whole.
Associated Press and New York Times reports say the White House, Big Labor and their liberal backers are coordinating support for President Obama's proposed federal wage-floor hike from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour and for putting proposals for higher state minimums on ballots alongside close congressional races. Never mind the broad economic ignorance revealed by polls showing broad support for higher minimums — even among Republicans.
Government's market-distorting wage floors raise employers' costs, forcing them to reduce hiring and hours. Young and minority entry-level job-seekers, whose unemployment rates far exceed the general population's, are disproportionately disadvantaged — yet they're the voters whose 2014 turnout Democrats cynically seek to boost with their class-warfare campaign theme.
Whether it's Katie McGinty trying to stand out among Pennsylvania gubernatorial hopefuls or congressmen nationwide facing GOP challengers emboldened by ObamaCare failures, Democrats are aiming for short-term political rewards. But raising minimum wages does long-term economic damage — especially to key Democrat voters most vulnerable to their pernicious effects.

The application of a mineral admixture, or a corrosion inhibitor, or a combination of both are methods used for the corrosion protection for reinforced concrete bridges. The results of a study on evaluation of corrosion inhibitors from three different manufacturers and of concretes with fly ash, slag cement, and silica fume and a concrete with silica fume and a corrosion inhibitor are presented. The specimens were built to simulate four exposure conditions typical for concrete bridges located in the coastal region or inland where deicing salts are used. The exposure conditions were horizontal, vertical, tidal, and immersed zones. The specimens were kept inside the laboratory and were exposed to weekly ponding cycles of 6% (w/w) sodium chloride solution. In addition, cover depth measurements from 21 bridge decks and chloride data from 3 bridge decks were used, together with laboratory data, in modeling the service lives of the investigated corrosion protection methods. The methods used to assess the condition of the specimens included chloride concentration measurements, corrosion potentials, and corrosion rates (3LP). Additionally, visual observations were performed for identification of rust stains and cracking on concrete surfaces. Modeling the time as a function of probability of the end of functional service life (EFSL) is presented. It has been shown that the distributions of surface chloride concentration, C0, and diffusion coefficient, Dc, are key elements in the model. Model predictions show that the concretes with mineral admixtures provide much better level of protection against moisture and chlorides than the ordinary portland cement concrete alone. Application of a corrosion inhibitor causes an elevation of the chloride threshold resulting in an additional increase in time to EFSL. More field studies are needed to better estimate distributions of surface chloride concentration and diffusion coefficient of Virginia bridge decks, and to confirm predicted times to EFSL for low permeable (LP) concretes.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello, Thank you for the question.I am Dr.A.S.Desai and I look forward to assisting you .
Are you available for chat now?
Do the after images kind of float in your visual field?
they kind of jump around
dawn and dusk is when I notice it the most
When you look at the sky, do you find transparent tiny worm like movement ?
not floaters you mean but tiny lights?
It is very likely that the after images which bounce around are likely to be due to PVD- posterior vitreous detachment.
would they have seen that in the eye exam though
No, it is not visualised during an eye exam.
I actually think years ago someone mentioned I had that but maybe im mistaken
PVD is a very common condition and affects majority of people as they grow older.
even with dilating
Yes, even with dilated eye exam, it is not possible to "see" a PVD.
oh haha another one of the nice things that come along with aging
Here is a small note on PVD-
oh so how do you test for it
do I to have it re attached
In PVD the thick gel at the back of the eye( called vitreous) gets detached from its surrounding retina . This results in retinal traction which results in the symptom of flashes of light and includes color distortion. Flashes of light may not be prominent in some individuals. Once the vitreous gets detached completely , it may form clumps or strands and cause symptom of floaters such as dark spots, cobweb or thread like strands in the visual field. More often it is not a serious issue and does not require any specific treatment. A routine retina examination needs to be done by an ophthalmologist just to check for the intactness of the retina and to look for any peripheral retinal tears or holes, which if found, can be sealed by lasers.
The only concern is that of a remote possibility of a retinal tear extending into a frank retinal detachment, which is characterised by symptoms of sudden increase of flashes or floaters and a curtain or veil falling in the field of vision. This requires urgent treatment by a retinal specialist. This is not a common feature and is more predisposed in myopic and diabetic individuals. You have already had a dilated eye exam, so there is no need to be concerned about this.
PVD can occur suddenly at anytime and is a diagnosis of exclusion and does not show any signs as such on eye examination. If PVD is confirmed then there is nothing much to be done. It would be best to ignore the floaters after that. Some floaters tend to drift out of visual field too.
There is no need to get it re-attached.
The movement seen against the sky is a normal physiological phenomenon called as entoptic phenomenon.
Does that make sense?
yes I think so. When I had a migraine with aura last week I had not had one in 7 years but I have had a hand full since I was a teenager so I wonder why im noticing this and a light sensitivity now or is it possible the migraine just has me more aware of my vision. I must note I was on the computer when the aura started but I felt a sting in my left eye when it started so that puzzles me
the aura only last 15 minutes it just this new after image that im more aware of
Sorry about the delay... Had to get up.... I am back..
it ok thanks
The after image is unlikely to be due to the migraine. It is likely to be due to PVD .
The good part is that you have had a dilated eye exam after the new symptoms started and the exam was normal.
ok well thank you so much I guess Ill have to live with it Do you have any suggestions to on how to ignore it
Yes, when outdoors you can wear sunglasses.
It will cut down the light sensitivity.
ok thank you Ill try not to worry as much... the after images jumping around or flashing is all from this pvd
If you do not require further assistance, kindly rate my service.
Thank you and best wishes.
It was a pleasure to have answered this question. Views expressed are for information purpose only and cannot substitute a visit to an ophthalmologist
ok now one more question it say 20 dollars on the left of my screen do I pay that or is it charged to my pay pal
Once you give a positive rating( ok service/good service/excellent service) you will be charged for 20 $ through whichever mode you have chosen( credit card or paypal).
I just go back from a movie and Im really worried about how bright the screen felt and I had so may after images...its so frustrating. could being on the computer add to my light sensitivity? also the visual snow Im guessing I have had all my life but don't understand why I see it do you have any guesses?

The Essay is a daily personal piece submitted by readers. Have a story to tell? See our guidelines at tgam.ca/essayguide
As an American living in Toronto for much of his adult life, silly as it sounds, I have never felt completely at home here.
On the one hand, I am entirely sold on Canadian ideas such as the collective good (it's not always about the individual), universal health care (don't knock it until you try it) and higher taxes (you get what you pay for).
On the other, my bones ache if I go too long without inhaling that heady, New York mixture of salt air and ambition. Or am denied the thickened, east coast light of my childhood.
Maybe this is why the farmers' market I go to in Toronto has come to mean so much to me. Sure, it is a celebration of the local and organic. And of course there are plenty of Canadian delights to be found there: peameal bacon, extra dark maple syrup, Montreal bagels.
But a market can also be a great leveller of culture. After all, everyone has to eat. No one cares what culture you are from or if you know the difference between a cheddar from Vermont or P.E.I. I can stop being The Transplanted New Yorker or The Newly Minted Dual Citizen and simply be a guy buying vegetables. It is all just food.
Or so I thought.
A vendor there, Rube, sells me rice and grains. There are versions of Rube at markets the world over: old-timers who've been there forever, adored by everyone, a touchstone on shopping day. A city institution.
Rube is like the old wise rabbi of our market. He knows the history of the place (part of his store was once the town jail). He can tell you which vendors get along with other vendors, or who has the best honeycrisp apples. (He buys one most Saturdays).
And over the years, I get to know him a bit.
He gently offers his opinions on everything from the pecan rice ("the fancy stuff") to his granola ("I make it myself") to the aged basmati ("it's the most fragrant").
And like he does with many of his regulars, he shares personal stories with me. His late wife was "the brains in the family." Her answer to his worry about having a sixth child? "We'll just add more water to the soup." Of the organic oatmeal he says, "A certain kind of person buys that oatmeal. Some of my customers come in just for that."
Each year he stays up all night to make coleslaw for Passover. Other holidays he is responsible for the mashed potatoes. He talks and tallies, taking his time. Customers wait patiently. He never rushes.
Even when I am not at the market, Rube is often in my thoughts. I save the little brown paper bags I bring the rice home in (on the outside of the bag, Rube's handwritten addition neatly lined up in black or green Sharpie). When I go to my son's hockey games, I put warm, roasted chestnuts inside the bags and bring them along.
There I sit – the dumb American who cannot even skate – freezing in a cavernous arena on countless Saturday nights watching my son skate like the Canadian he is, my hands warm around Rube's wrinkled brown paper bag.
Rube also shares some family matters. About a relative: "When he calls I ask, 'How much?'" About a granddaughter studying psychology: "She's a real genius." There is also the heartbreaking loss of a son to cancer.
Despite his grieving in the weeks after that loss, I am struck by how quickly he seems to bounce back. A few months later I ask how he is. "A-1," he says. A classic Rube response: upbeat, hopeful, no complaints. It is also how I knew he is back on track. Living in the moment. Keeping busy. Fully present.
This has stayed with me. Not just his grace in the face of adversity. But to an American endlessly struggling to feel at home in a thriving Canadian culture, here is a man who knows the lay of the land – his home – and simply accepts what comes.
Several years ago, Rube started slowing down. He showed up later and later. Then he had trouble doing the tallying. Then he fell on the bus. When he turned 90 the market had a party for him, but by then he was coming to the market less and less. Then not at all. And finally, a little while ago, Rube died.
His daughter Amy has taken over the business. And I still go to the market. But it is different. Or is it me? Lately all I feel when I am there is the 20 years I have been going there.
It is as if Rube's absence is silently reaffirming all the time I have invested at the market, and in Canada. As if he is telling me: This is your home too.
I no longer think of farmers' markets for just the localness of the food. They are about the localness of the people too. People who – if you are lucky – might show you how culture and home are not simply about where you come from or even where you live, but what you learn, wherever you are.
One grain of rice at a time.

Heidi Klum Doesn't Want To Be A Gaunt Old Lady
"The ultimate beauty secret for a woman getting older is, 'Don't be too thin!' It is always better to have a little meat on your bones. When you are just muscle, you end up being gaunt in the face, and that makes you look older by five or ten years."
—Heidi Klum in Self magazine. Spoken like a true supermodel who is actually really, really skinny even with "meat on her bones." She goes on to say that she ran over 120 miles in seven weeks. [PopEater]

Thristian Bledsoe Model
LeiaSimoneModel Female New Orleans, Louisiana, US
Mayhem # 2680006
About MeJust getting into modeling after helping out some friends and I've found I really love it and have a knack for it. I'd love to do sexy/artsy/pinup shoots but I'd be down for almost anything. Either paid shoots or tfp. My current pictures are either amateur (very current) or part of my pregnancy photoshoots from last year. I'm no longer pregnant (and no more baby weight) and I'll update as I do more work (I've done two shoots so far this week and will be updating as soon as I get the pics). I'm very easygoing and pleasant to work with. Shoots must be in New Orleans (I don't drive); transportation needs to be arranged/compensated for shoots outside the NOLA area. No tats or body mods other than pierced ears. Natural healthy hair that skims my hiphuggers.
I'd LOVE to do a pin-up shoot and work with a great photographer and makeup artist to make it really amazing! I'm very comfortable with nudes but they must be tasteful and classy. And please remember, sometimes showing less skin can be sexier and allow for more creativity! That said, I would love to do a nude shoot on a carousel! I think it's a fun concept with a lot of room for interesting poses and creative use of the setting.
My daughter (born July/2011) is also super photogenic and easy to work with (we get compliments on her eyes constantly and I've been told she has a beautiful/unique look), so anyone who wants to add some great baby or family shots to their port, we'd be happy to work with you! Message me for samples. I'd be really interested in doing some unique photos rather than your run-of-the-mill family portraits.. I'd love to do a breastfeeding shoot somewhere in nature.. Maybe a punk rock family series.. We all have our own Sid Vicious shirts. ;) Maybe something in Storyland or on the carousel in City park. I'd love to hear other ideas as well.
My boyfriend is model #275287 and I'd love to work with him at some point. We're truly drama-free and have great chemistry. :) Some of my ideas include a 50's shoot (greaser/poodle skirt, maybe an ice cream shop setting?), maybe a sci-fi/fantasy bondage shoot.. Again, I'm open to suggestion!
***Do NOT contact me requesting nude pics. If I do a tasteful nude shoot, I will post the pictures to my profile. I'm here to do professional work and have fun creating art with skilled photographers; please don't waste my time.***

Durban: Australian captain Ricky Ponting does not fear the prospect of facing champion Sri Lankan off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan in Tuesday's World Cup semi-final despite the way Kenya's Asif Karim embarrassed his middle order.Karim, a 39-year-old left-arm spinner, had figures of three wickets for two runs in his first eight overs during Australia's five-wicket win in the 'dead' day-night Super Six match at Kingsmead on Saturday.Karim's success on a pitch offering less turn than what is expected in Port Elizabeth in the semi-final prompted speculation that Muralitharan could do even greater damage to the reigning champions on Tuesday.But Ponting said, "Did you see the game last week (Australia beat Sri Lanka by 96 runs at Centurion with Muralitharan taking one for 47). I thought we played very well against Muralitharan and hopefully we'll do the same again."Ponting, whose team is still unbeaten in the tournament, however conceded the slower pitch expected at St George's Park could favour Sri Lanka. "It's pretty well known they don't like the faster type of wickets but we've played there twice so we'll know the conditions better than they do."Michael Bevan missed the Durban encounter with a lower back strain but is expected to be fit for the crunch game in Port Elizabeth where he has twice rescued Australia with gritty innings in its previous two World Cup matches there against England and New Zealand.Andrew Symonds came in on Saturday and Ponting admitted it would be tough deciding between him and Ian Harvey, who also faced Kenya, for the one remaining place in the side."I'm not sure, we'll have to speak about that and look at the conditions. Ian Harvey has done nothing wrong with the ball and Andrew Symonds has done nothing wrong with the bat."Brett Lee, who took a hat-trick against Kenya, gave Sri Lanka skipper Sanath Jayasuriya thumb and arm injuries when the teams last met. Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak, meanwhile, said Sri Lanka can defeat Australia after his own side crumbled by 74 runs against Jayasuriya's men at East London on Saturday."They must stand a chance against Australia next week," Streak said. "They're flamboyant, unpredictable and it'll be a tough match. But obviously Australia must still be the favourite to win." Streak said that if Marvan Atapattu and Jayasuriya got Sri Lanka off to a good start and seamer Chaminda Vaas made early breakthroughs, the Australians could be under pressure.The key lay in Muralitharan coming on to bowl with Australia three or four wickets down. "They've got lots of potential," he said. "Sri Lanka can do it."Copyright AFP 2001
We can beat Aussies in semis, says Jayasuriya

There are some animals that should never be allowed into your home.
And as far as many in the Labour Party are concerned, Ken Livingstone is just such a political animal.
If John Prescott, Gordon Brown and Charles Clarke - to name just a few - had their way, he would have been put down years ago.
You can take the beast out of the jungle but not the jungle out of the beast, they would probably say. But not Tony Blair.
Loyalty test
He has put his hand on his heart and admitted he was wrong about Ken.
Instead of being the "disaster for London" he predicted four years ago, Mr Livingstone has done a pretty good job for the capital.
According to the prime minister, on issues like crime, business and transport, he has been a success, and a moderate.
"I should be big enough to say the prediction I made four years ago has not turned out to be right," he said.
So, for the sake of party unity and the good of London, the anti-Ken brigade is just going to have to go along with the prime minister and put up with having him back in the fold.
What they fear, however, is that despite all the loyalty tests, it is only a matter of time before Mr Livingstone says or, more importantly, does something in direct defiance of the party leadership.
Hammer and sickle
The prime minister is clearly ready to put up with verbal outbursts from Mr Livingstone.
Asked about the mayor's recent claim that President Bush was "the greatest threat to life on this planet that we've most probably seen", he has shrugged his shoulders.
But what if Mr Livingstone does something he should not?
One thing appears certain - short of murder or storming into Downing Street waving a hammer and sickle flag, there is no way he can be thrown out of the party again.
So to a very large extent, comeback Ken is now untouchable.
Londoners, meanwhile, appear ready, according to the polls, to give him another term in office.
Stitch up
And that, the critics claim, is the real reason the prime minister wants him back.
He can't stomach the prospect of seeing his previous candidate Nicky Gavron humiliated into fourth place in the mayoral election.
What Labour needs more than anything at the moment is a winner.
Meanwhile, the opposition parties hope that London voters will see this government about face for the cynical stitch up they believe it to be and actually turn against Mr Livingstone.
They believe many voted for him last time precisely because he was not a Labour candidate.
There would be a bitter irony if, after all the twisting and turning, Labour lost the mayoral election.
Don't put any money on it.

Watch, Pass, or Rent: Boondock Saints II
Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, the buzzed-about sequel to the cult fave, hits theaters tomorrow — just in time for All Saints Day. (Such clever marketing.)
I already peeked at the trailer, and it looks like a very cool, stylized follow-up to its predecessor. This time, the storyline follows the MacManus brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) as they return to Boston to seek vengeance on mob members who murdered a priest.
Fans will probably be curious to see if it lives up to their beloved original, but I'm on the fence. It seems entertaining, but it could be one of those films that you love or hate — depending on if you're in the mood for gun-toting bloodshed. I'm just not 100 percent sure if that's how I want to spend my Saturday.
Tell me your stance: are you going to buy a ticket to Boondock Saints II? Or is shoot-'em-up stuff just not your thing?

Papa Roach Vocalist Jacoby Shaddix's Favorite Things To Do In A Dead-End Town With No Money
Papa Roach are currently in the studio working on their follow-up to 2010's Time for Annihilation. While the band have gone on to major success since the release of their debut full-length nearly 15 years ago, Papa Roach have certainly had to pay their dues to get where they are today. We decided to go on a trip down memory lane with frontman Jacoby Shaddix--one of the 100 Greatest Living Rock Stars featured in the 100th issue of Revolver--to discover his favorite things to do in a dead-end town without a dime to his name.
Barn Burning
"We'd do shit like play keg parties in orchards. We also played barn parties with bonfires inside. That was a horrible idea, by the way. We almost burned the barn down, and we got caught by the cops."
"I grew up in Vacaville, California, which is Spanish for 'Cow Town.' Cows sleep standing up, so when you're 16 and don't have shit to do after you've smoked all your brown weed, you tip cows. Me and my boys used to sneak into the pastures and tip 'em. They'd wake up and start freaking out. Some of them would even chase you."
Beer runs
"We'd roll up to Albertson's, a grocery store, and I'd wait in my truck while my bass player ran in and grabbed a case of beer. He'd run out with employees chasing him, but he'd hop in the back of the truck and we'd speed away. We were pros. We never got caught."
White-water rafting
"My friend's mother owned a white-water rafting company, and she'd let us go for free during the summer, which was sick as fuck. It was a real adrenaline rush. I still like to go do that, actually--but now I have to pay for it."

Character History
Season 8
In Up Where We Belong, he is seen sitting in the crowd listening to Ms. Kwan's English 11 class present their essays.
Season 9
In Somebody, after Dave Turner tried to explain to the team about a trick you can do with Pop Rox and root beer, Connor flips out arguing that is was scientifically disproven. Ethan proceeds to embarrass the two further by calling them dorks. After one of the team's practices, Ethan straight up asks Connor why he's even on the team if he never does anything. After Coach Carson sees all the stats that Connor has been keeping track off, Ethan is benched and replaced by Dave.
In Heart Like Mine (1), he is seen dancing too close with Trish at the Athletes' Banquet, so Marco Del Rossi forces some space between them.
In Heart Like Mine (2), Coach Carson says that he was "in the zone" during basketball practice. He plays in the championship game, and later watches as Coach Carson is arrested and walked out of the gym.


text: This guy made his first post... and it is long... but dead on... interesting read... Thread My first post here and you guys aren't going to like it. I've been a Redskins fan since I was old enough to watch football. I really had no choice, my father told me why I was a Redskins fan and that was that. How my week goes depends on if the Redskins win or lose that Sunday, and my family can't stand being around me when we lose. They haven't liked being around me lately. I've been reading here at Extremeskins for quite some time. I've made it my one-stop for Redskins news everyday for months. I get it all right here. I love it. I feel the need to post now because I'm sickened by the direction our team has gone and I'm tired of everyone acting like everything's going to be alright. It's not. I'm not the best writer and my grammar isn't perfect, so please bear with me. So many people are upset because most fans thought we were playoff bound, myself included. If our expectations would have been realistic then we would be taking the losses much more in stride. We were excited. And why not? We had a hall of fame coach coming back to the sidelines after the tradgedy that was Spurrier, we traded for what was supposed to be one of the best backs in the NFL, we acquired a seasoned vet at QB to lead the team. We had plenty of talent, right? I mean our payroll is highest in the NFL, so that means were talented, huh? Wrong. Our coach turns out to be out manned, at least early on, and we look at least as inept as during Spurrier's time in DC. Before the salary cap, parity was only a vision in the commissioner's head. What if back then Gibbs simply had more talent than most teams? The front office was great and undeniably, those past Gibbs teams had plenty of talent. What if Gibbs schemes *are* simply about execution, not innovation? What if he won because his guys couldn't be whipped when they executed because they were just better? If that's the case, were in trouble, because he's not going to have a roster full of guys who are superior to the men on the other team. He won't be able to do it any more than any of the other teams in the NFL. Free agency screwed that up for teams, even if they make good personnel decisions… which we ain't gonna do. Gibbs is going to have some good players, some average ones, and some who are lucky to stick on a roster… just like other teams. If he wants us to simply line up and out execute the other team, he'll wish he never came back to coaching. And so will we. But he should have the most talent out there now, right? We have the highest payroll in the NFL. Let me say that again: We have the highest payroll in the NFL. We are in trouble. Look what we pay Brunell, Portis, Arrington, Taylor, Coles, Samuels, Morton, Springs, Thomas and others. Who in that group is earning their pay? Brunell is already clearly a horrible decision. Can you believe what we paid that guy? Gawd almighty! And now we can't get him out as QB (something 80% of the fans want) because we have so much money tied up in him. He's washed up and we either are stuck with him or we take a large, unnecessary cap hit and move along. Couple that with all the other huge errors in personnel and it'll be crippling. Lavar? He's a tremendous athlete but his play is only above average. 5.6 mil this year, 5.6 mil next year, and then 12.4 million!!! in 2006! I can't even look beyond that… it makes me nauseated. All that for a LB in a 4-3 that makes the occasional sack, the occasional INT and the occasional monumental blunder. Someone should've told our front office that 4-3 linebackers don't have that much of an impact. The money should be tied up on D in defensive linemen and CB's. They're the ones who have an impact in a 4-3 scheme… not the linebackers. 3-4 linebackers, maybe, but you don't pay someone umpteen million to make tackles. Even of the sideline-to-sideline variety. That money would've been so much more well spent on Champ, or Kearse, or many other free agents. Which leads me to Portis. We give up a second round pick and a player who is arguably the best CB in the NFL for a back that is too small, lacks patience as a runner, and who's reputation is clearly the result of a Denver system that helps *any* RB put up pro bowl stats. Heck, even without their old OL coach (who made that system work so well in Denver) they're still doing it with no name runners putting up huge numbers. O. Gary? Yeah, he's done real well since leaving Denver. It'll be the same for Portis. CB's are sooooo much more difficult to find in the NFL than RB's, and what do we do? We trade the best one in the league for an average RB and just to make it even... we throw in a second round pick!!! Please!! I've heard many ex-coaches and announcers talk about how much more difficult it is to find a CB. Good RB's are a dime a dozen in the NFL and we'll be lucky if Portis turns out to be good instead of amazingly average. We already had RB's here that would be doing the same thing Portis is… if not better. What a colossal screw-up. What a colossal *long term ramifications* screw up. Just losing Bailey and a second (still can't believe we did that!) for Portis would be bad enough, but to pay Clinton what we did borders on insane. It sent a team already in a precarious salary cap situation into a much, much worse financial spot. Champ didn't want to be here you say? C'mon... we coulda paid him and he would've been completely happy in DC. (We still would've been in cap trouble, but we'd have Champ instead of Portis.) Bailey just wanted to be paid like he felt he deserved and he'd have remained a Redskin for life. Springs isn't a tenth of the player Bailey is. Imagine what Champ would've done with Williams as his coordinator. Gawd! Samuels. His cap numbers are 8.8 mil this year, 9.6 mil next year, and 11.3 million in 2006!!??! What's he doing to earn a quarter of that? Playing solid? Okay? Sorry? What we do know is that he isn't playing well and even if he were playing well, he wouldn't be worth anywhere near that money. Nothing against Samuels. It's that the Redskins continue to pay huge dollars for players who pay small dividends. Highest payroll in the NFL? 1-4? Taylor? He's all ability and no brains. He seriously may never make much of an impact in the NFL because his ability to process information is painfully lacking. At Miami they let him play on instincts alone. He wasn't particularly part of a secondary or defensive scheme… he just played backyard football. That won't work in this league. He may never be more than a solid player. Maybe I'm wrong here… I hope so. That leads me to this though: Safety isn't a position that you should spend your money at either. They can impact the game but it's much more difficult to do so at safety than at CB, DE, or DT. Why spend not only that kind of money for a safety, but that high of a pick. I'll say it again… our money on D should be tied up at CB and DL with solid role players at safety and LB. Wynn, Salave'a, Griffin, Warner. Those players are listed on the official site depth chart as our starting DL. 5.4 Million. That's how much they count against our cap this year. Arrington counts 5.6 million this season. Someone just wasn't thinking. Yes our D has played well, but imagine how it could be doing with pressure from the DL. Sacks, hurries, interceptions… those things help you win games, not just rank high in the defensive ratings. We give up few yards. Big deal, we need game changing plays on defense and with our DL, were not going to get very many. Having to blitz to get pressure on the QB leaves us vulnerable to big plays and makes us likely losers. Morton, don't get me started. Thomas, sheesh. We have the highest payroll in the NFL. Most of them appear to be underachievers, getting by on reputation from one good year in the pro's or no good NFL years but they were stars in college. Just brimming with athletic ability, but unable to turn the tide of a game. They lack something. Brains? The ability to be part of a team? Heart? They try hard. I haven't seen any quit in this team. I wish I had. At least then you could say, "Gibbs is going to whip them in shape as the year goes on." No, these guys work hard and try… they just can't do it. And this is our roster guys. They're not a young team full of guys trying to make a name for themselves. Blue collar guys who could turn into a blue chipper and surprise everyone. Nope, they're already big name players who've been there and done that. What you see is pretty much what you get. So Gibbs is going to go get new guys then, you say. If you start trying to bring in new guys… we just don't have the cap room. We'll have to start letting some of our present big players go, and that's going to wreck our cap. We'll have so much dead money that Gibbs will be way retired before it's ever straightened out. I read on a prominent Redskin website where one of the writers was being a typical Redskin fan and trying to show how we'll be fine with the cap. He wrote (if memory serves) that if we only got rid of Samuels, Morton and Gardner we would be able to sign all of our own free agents and draft picks for 2005 and 2006. That's fine… but that's also assuming we don't sign one single free agent from another team. Not one! First off, can you see Snyder not signing one free agent from another team for the next two years? Uh, me neither. But let's assume he doesn't. That means that we would have the exact same roster we have now except for the three players I mentioned above and our draft picks. Great. That's some group we have now. And with our recent history with draft picks and considering how few we have, that paints a rather bleak outlook for our team the next few years. Think about it. No new blood coming in except for our draft picks! God help. All the while, the rest of the league is going around signing players left and right. Dallas, Philly, New York, they're all in great cap shape and they'll be swiping up all the good free agents while we only watch so we can retain the schmucks we have now. And if one of our players sign elsewhere, it will only be one of the players that we now think is one of our better players. Then we'll only be able to go into free agency to acquire a player to take his place and he probably won't be as good as the player we lost. At best it'll be an even swap. But you know Snyder will sign free agents. That means were going to lose a lot of the guys we now have. Who goes? Coles, Arrington, who? I'm going to stop now. It's making me sick. I'm sure ya'll are glad I'm stopping. I know you guys don't want to hear the things I'm saying. I hope I get more positive about the Redskins so I can write something on here that isn't so depressing.

Pay-television service Foxtel will halve the price of its video-on-demand product Presto to $9.99 a month, as the company prepares for the arrival of global powerhouse Netflix and other competitors.
Presto had cost $19.99 a month, with a charge of $4.99 for the first month of subscription. The new price, effective from this Sunday, brings the service more in line with Netflix and local player Quickflix, as well as
"As we looked around globally at these kinds of services, what sticks out is simplicity in pricing and the other thing was that the price seems to have settled around the $10 mark on a global scale," Foxtel director of Presto and video-on-demand
While Netflix has not announced an arrival date for Australia, rumours persist it will launch locally in 2015.
Presto has more than 1200 movies on offer, which are rotated to accommodate new releases, and it is understood the service could beef up its offering to include TV series by Christmas. There have been rumours that the take-up of the service has been disappointing but Mr James said the company was happy with its performance so far.
Jump in subscribers
Meanwhile, Foxtel, Australia's most profitable media company, reported on Thursday a 5.6 per cent jump in subscribers driven by cheaper offers that are a response to increased competition. The company, which is a joint venture between
However, revenues were just 1.4 per cent higher at $3.14 billion, underlining that growth is being driven by cheaper subscriptions. Profits were also helped by lower amortisation charges relating to the company's acquisition of regional pay-TV operator
"A strong focus on efficiency and the continued realisation of the benefits of the Austar merger saw the bottom line result improve markedly," he said.

Manakin is a repository interface framework introduced at Open Repositories 2007. One year after its initial release Manakin has seen a minor point release and integration into the core of DSpace. Currently, Manakin has been deployed or is in preparation for deployment at several institutions across the globe. One of our earliest adopters, the Instituto Antonio Carlos Jobim, has deployed Manakin for its multimedia collections; the PolicyArchive project has used Manakin to drastically change the look-and-feel of DSpace; the Doria repository in Finland has adapted Manakin to support the multi-lingual needs of its ETD collection; and at Texas A&M University Manakin is used to visualize geospatial metadata in a collection of historic maps and also to match the main library's new website design. Manakin's introduction represented a fundamental change to the previous DSpace interface by adding the abilities to: 1) establish a unique look-and-feel, 2) brand content, 3) visualize metadata, and 4) provide modularity at the interface layer. Having lived with Manakin for a year, we are able to assess our progress toward meeting these goals. While the four original design goals were realized in the initial release of Manakin, it became apparent that certain issues had been overlooked.

Vow of protection for mistreated Indonesian maids
Page Tools
Two months ago, Indonesian maid Nirmala Bonat prompted outrage at home and in Malaysia when she showed the media her body scarred with burns she says she received when her Malaysian employer repeatedly branded her with an iron.
Now a new report says that such abuse is widespread among the nearly quarter of a million Indonesian maids who work in Malaysia without legal protection from the recruiting agents or employers who routinely mistreat and rob them.
After interviewing more than 120 maids, employers and officials, the US-based Human Rights Watch has released a report that says Indonesian maids routinely suffer gross mistreatment and abuse because they have no rights under Malaysian law to file complaints.
Indonesia supplies about 90 per cent of Malaysia's domestic workforce who typically agree to a two-year stint with the promise of wages higher than those they can expect at home.
They often work "16 to 18 hour days, seven days a week, without any holidays", the report says. Many are forbidden to step outside the house where they work and are required to hand over their passports to their employer, leaving them open to allegations that they are working illegally, and subsequent deportation.
"An Indonesian domestic worker typically earns 350-400 ringgit [$127 - $145] per month, half the amount a Filipina domestic worker earns. As most work at least 15 hours a day, every day of the month, this amounts to less than one ringgit per hour," the report says.
Its author, Nisha Varia, said some maids were never paid while others received a once-only payment that was less than what they were owed.
Of the 51 maids she interviewed, half said they did not get their full wages and a quarter got nothing. One of the maids said: "If I asked for my salary, the employer hit me. I never got my salary, the employer didn't give me money. The employer never gave even one ringgit. If my employers went out, they locked the door from the outside and took the key. My employer told me not to speak to the neighbours."
In the furore surrounding the Nirmala Bonat case, the Malaysian and Indonesian governments promised a new Memorandum of Understanding to protect Indonesian domestic workers in Malaysia. The report says this should include commitments for legislation to provide legal protection for maids and to ensure abusive employers are liable to criminal prosecution.

Publication Abstract
Authors: Luengo S, Azcona B, Lázaro P, Madero R
Title: [Programs of early detection of breast cancer and access of mammography in Spain].
Journal: Med Clin (Barc) 108(20):761-6
Date: 1997 May 24
Abstract: BACKGROUND: We studied availability to mammography among Spanish women aged 40 to 70 years, variation in use of the mammography by autonomous community, and the situation and importance of breast cancer screening programs among other factors, in the access to mammography. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional population survey was conducted in 1994 in a sample of 3,218 women. A questionnaire was used to collect data on the variable access (receipt of at least one mammogram in the last 2 years) as well as different access-related variables. Information on breast cancer screening programs was collected by contacting the responsible institutions. We considered that a program had total coverage if it included all the municipalities in the province and partial if it did not include all municipalities. RESULTS: Twenty-eight percent of women had performed a mammogram. This proportion varied among autonomous communities (AACC) from 11.5 to 73.8%. Breast cancer screening programs existed in 8 AACC. The multivariant analysis revealed an association between access to mammography and the existence of a screening program, especially when the later had total coverage (OR = 7.64; 95% CI = 5.24-11.10). An association was also found between access to mammography and physician-related factors, place of residence and attitudes of women toward mammography. CONCLUSIONS: Less than one third of women aged 40-70 have performed a mammography in the last 2 years, and this proportion varies among AACC. Gynecologist visits and the existence of breast cancer screening programs are fundamental factors in the access to mammography in Spain.
