I Was a Megaman Fan
Oh yes, the good ol days 15 People
Megaman On the NesI remember playing the first megaman on the NES, and then megaman 2 and 3. Non-stop action! One of the few series on the NES that I have played on just about all generations of game consoles. I was more of megaman fan than a zero fan

Megaman ForeverI remember watching Saturday morning cartoons when they had the nintendo game characters in a show. I forget the name, but that's when I first saw megaman, I thought he was cool. I then played the game and I was forever hooked. I still love to play those games. I'm 33 but I love...

HPD Crows Over Another Crime-Rate Drop
"Safest big city in America," chief says
Comparing the first half of 2011 to the first half of 2010, murder is down 37.1 percent, robberies 20.8 percent and overall violent crime 9.2 percent, HOD says.
HPD chief Charles A. McClelland, Jr called it "a tremedous decrease" and said the murder rate was on pace to reach "the lowest level since 1965."
"I actually believe Houston is the safest big city in America," he said.
The only major category that saw an increase was rape, which increased 7.8 percent.
Nonviolent crimes have decreased 11.3 percent, with a 12.4 percent drop in auto thefts. In breaking down thefts in the city, burglaries of motor vehicles (BMVs) are down 15.29 percent for the first six months of the year. BMVs are the most preventable crimes and this drop appears to indicate the citizens of Houston have received the message to lock their vehicles and remove and hide their valuables.
In addition, burglaries of residences are also down 9.5 percent, compared to the same period last year. This can be attributed to citizens taking precautions to protect their homes, and officers targeting patrols in neighborhoods based on crime data supplied by the 24-hour Crime Center and investigative efforts
So, we're assuming you all feel safer these days...

Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL350 BlueTec
Technology Available, but Pricey
While the GL350 is available with just about every technology add-on available to the rest of the GL range, each option bumps up the price. The numbers aren't huge by themselves, but they add up.
Mercedes uses a clever adaptive lighting system that sees into turns and enables high-beam functions automatically. Sadly such an excellent safety system is a $1,390 option. Other safety and convenience features reach just as far into your wallet, like the driver assistance package, which adds adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and blind-spot monitoring, for an eye-watering $2,800, while parking technology that includes a surround-view camera (a nice feature to have on a big SUV) costs an extra $1,290.
Other interior features that make a luxury car worthy of a luxury badge are equally pricey. Three-zone climate control costs $1,450, while adding heated seats to the second row bumps up the price another $620. While the GL350 is the cheapest model in the range, choosing a few nice additions will quickly bump the price out of bargain territory.

DES MOINES — Imagine a bean stalk or a steer.
Now imagine a genetically modified bean stalk or a genetically modified steer.
Any difference?
Those pictures in your head are at the center of a debate over food labeling popping up in statehouses across the country, in the halls of Congress and at the ballot box.
On Wednesday, the Vermont Senate passed the first-in-the-nation labeling bill requiring the listing of GMO, or genetically modified organism, ingredients in food, which the House is expected to approve as well. It's unique because it does not have a trigger requiring other states to pass similar laws before it takes effect, as did the law passed in Maine.
The Vermont vote came a week after U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., introduced the "Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act," which would block laws requiring the mandatory labeling of foods developed using bioengineering.
According to Stateline, a news service of the Pew Charitable Trusts, at least 25 state legislatures had bills addressing GMO labeling this year.
But not in Des Moines, where labeling is seen by some as an attack on farming — and, hence, the state itself.
"Gov. (Terry) Branstad believes that states shouldn't be able to mandate labeling of GMOs. Similar to the California egg law, states' laws shouldn't negatively affect business and industry in other states," said Jimmy Centers, spokesman for the five-term Republican governor. "Agriculture products from Iowa are safe and secure. That's why many countries are eager to trade with Iowa producers and buy our corn, soybeans, pork, beef and other products."
Iowa statute allows producers to label products "organic" if they meet federal guidelines set out by the Food and Drug Administration. These include specifications on soil quality, pesticides and other factors.
It doesn't specifically address bioengineered food, which is estimated to be a part of about 80 percent of the food sold in grocery stores.
"Consumers have woken up to this issue," said Katherine Paul, spokeswoman for the Finland, Minn.-based Organic Consumers Association. "People are looking for a non-GMO choice, and if given that choice, they're probably going to choose the product that is not genetically engineered."
Ruth MacDonald, chair of Iowa State University's food science and human nutrition department, said those choices "are not based on scientific evidence."
She said bioengineering has allowed farmers to increase production in and for an increasingly populated world. The labeling push, she said, is "a knee-jerk, unfortunate reaction to a lack of understanding and misinformed fear" of GMOs and their effects.
"It sounds simple, doesn't it? Just put a label on," she said. "But take, for example, corn. Would it be anything that was made out of the corn? Corn starch? Corn oil? An animal that ate the corn? How do you even verify that?"
Paul thinks the Vermont vote will be the first of many such efforts across the country. Consumers, she said, are looking for alternatives and producers recognize that.
"The market will respond," she said.
State Rep. Pat Grassley, R-New Hartford, chairs the House Agriculture committee. He said a patchwork of labeling laws would put an "undue burden" on producers who want to sell in other states.
"I think the fear is when people see a label, they're going to automatically think it would have health concerns," he said. "I think immediately people say, 'That's unhealthy for me to eat.' But the federal government hasn't said GMOs are unhealthy or that they pose a serious health risk."
State Sen. Rob Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids, disagrees. He said the agriculture industry needs a market, and when consumers demand non-GMO food, labeling will be more prevalent.
He's not convinced it requires legislation.
"My perception is there are a lot of Iowans are looking at this and want this information," he said. "But I think it would be a tall climb (for a labeling law) here."
Still, Hogg doesn't want Congress to pre-emptively block Iowa's ability to pass a labeling law if voters demand it.
It's a sentiment he shares with retiring U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa.
"I am skeptical of enacting new legislation that would impose a blanket prohibition against any differing GMO labeling requirements adopted at the state level," Harkin said during a recent call with Iowa reporters. "It seems better to allow FDA to handle specific situations under existing law rather than have Congress jump into the matter with new legislation."
But State Sen. Sandy Greiner, R-Keota, said this is precisely the kind of issue the federal government needs to be involved in. She was involved in the debate over what constitutes an organic product when Iowa looked at labeling those back in 2005. That's when the state adopted the federal standard.
It's the same issue now, she said, with GMOs.
"Some states say one thing, some states say the other," she said. "You need one standard."

Sorry friends/family/girlfriends/colleagues, but men are more likely to heed the words of a movie character than they are you.
Let's face it, when it comes to taking advice, men are scientifically wired to observe the wisdom of someone they like, someone they trust, someone like say, a film character. Granted, they may be a mere figment of a scriptwriter's brain, but if they're always well turned out in tailored suits and polished brogues, odds are you'd be more inclined to adhere to their style guidance than Greg from Accounts who still wears a tie like a truant schoolboy.
And, for all the riveting storylines and gripping drama, it would appear that a great deal of cinema has been merely white noise for what's really being imparted on screen - subliminal fashion advice. So, feel free to absorb the sartorial wisdom of Messrs Brüno, Bateman and Burgundy (and plenty more that don't begin with B), as they present the best fashion lessons of cinema.

A Podcast About the Creative Side of Photography
April 26th, 2016
Episode 198 of 218 episodes
The American abstract expressionist painter Richard Diebenkorn (1922 –1993) is noted not only for his great work, but also for his thoughts about the creative process. Diebenkorn's "Notes to myself on beginning a painting" is a list of 10 things to think about as we begin any creative work - we can think of them as "10 Rules for Getting Started." Play Podcast: Links for this Episode: Richard Diebenkorn on Artsy. net Richard Diebenkorn - a website with lots of information and images Camera Position on Facebook - Share your images Camera Position on Flickr - Share your images Sign up for the Workshops Mailing List - Planning is underway for the 2017 Italy Photography Workshops Richard Diebenkorn's "Notes to myself on beginning a painting" 1. Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may then be a valuable delusion. 2. The pretty, initial position which falls short of completeness is not to be valued — except as a stimulus for further moves. 3. Do search. But in order to find other than what is searched for. 4. Use and respond to the initial fresh qualities but consider them absolutely expendable. 5. Don't "discover" a subject — of any kind. 6. Somehow don't be bored — but if you must, use it in action. Use its destructive potential. 7. Mistakes can't be erased but they move you from your present position. 8. Keep thinking about Polyanna. 9. Tolerate chaos. 10. Be careful only in a perverse way.

Core compatibility: 6.x
Release type: New features, Bug fixes
Release notes
This release is primarily to fix a bug, where the time zone would change to an incorrect value when using the JavaScript feature. This was reported by BillRedman and others (Thanks!). As always: Please do create an issue, if you experience any problems!
In the mean-time, a couple of features have been introduced. See the CHANGELOG for an accurate list of commits.
- First, and foremost: Clock now depends on Libraries API. For now it is not a hard requirement (in that Clock still works without it) but that will change in the future. So be sure to get Libraries API to save yourself some worries in the future.
- Related to the previous change is the fact that the location of the jQuery Timers library has changed to sites/all/libraries/jquerytimers/jquery.timers.js. As with the previous one, this change is not (yet) mandatory, but strongly advised.
- You can now display the Clock in the "Local time zone" which is the time zone of the operating system of the visiting user. Beware: This is not the same thing, as "User time zone".
- Clock module now ships with an extensive help text, which you can access in the usual Drupal help area.
The selected release is the release that will be used for automated testing. Optional projects are only used for testing.
- date 6.x-2.10
No optional projects

Presidential candidate Rand Paul can't be everywhere, but he wants his followers to get as many selfies as they like with him.
On Wednesday, Paul released an app that allows tech savvy supporters to take selfies with him, thus promoting his presidential campaign in a unique manner.
This however, is not the first time the politician has used technology and social media to reach out to his audience. Earlier this summer, in attempts to promote his flat tax plan, Paul released a video of himself destroying a 70,000 page tax code, using a variety of methods, ranging from flames to a chain saw, and even a wood chipper.
Read: 6 Things You Didn't Know About Rand Paul
The new app lets you take pictures with absolutely anything that gets into the frame and users seem to have a great time flooding social media with their innovative selfies.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
well located on shore of fishing village. internet fell-out more than often
The pool Toilet facilities at the pool left a lot to be desired. Room service menu and items in the mini bar were extremely expensive; room service menue was not available 24hrs a day, despite being advertised as such. The decor in the apartments quite outdated, and the shower overflowed on more than one occasion. Late check-out cost €60, although it was clear the room was not booked that evening.
The hotel is located in a wondeful site, but the rooms are not in concordance. .The installations need an update. Breakfast in the terrace is very pleasant Lot of rooms are close to the kitchen installations and therefoe the noise of the kitchen is clearly listened into the rooms at night and very early in the morning
everthing no
Lovely setting, peaceful surroundings, very professional service Apartment a bit dark, double bed could be bigger
It was extremely pleasant and relaxing.
Good restaurant but too expensive. Good staff with decent English. We didnt have a rental car, and it cost us minimum of 30euros to go anywhere from this hotel in a taxi.Erice is 7kms away but we had to pay 40euros to get there! Tennis courts not available. The seafront (not on the hotel's premesis)around the back of the hotel is dirty/littered, could be lovely. Nothing in the town of interest- a dull place to be after 24 hours!
The pool area is lovely, but I was dissapointed to find the bar unmanned. We were booked into a "superior" room - without a balcony. I wonder what makes it "superior" ? With such a great location I feel that all rooms should have a view of the scenary.
The best is the location: the garden, pool and view from the pool : the mountain clif north-east. The board-walk into the sea is also great.Breakfast buffet is great. We chose not to eat at the inner-courtyard as you have no view at all ; this beats my prupose of staying in this part of Sicily. Finding local resto's is not easy; Trapani is a long dark stretch away. the 2nd and last morning i found out why we only had cold showers: The 'boiler tank in the bathroom was still switched off ;-0
We liked the view from our delux room. The room was clean and the swimming pool lovely. The staff at the swimming pool very friendly, barman and waitresses very polite. Unfortunately, I have to say that reception was unpleasant and sometimes not very helpful. If you do not speak Italian you gonna find difficult to rent anything. I was very disappointed. Dinners were lovely but in September, they were only inside the restaurant (because it's too cold- the reception said).
Beautiful view of the area
swimming ; restaurant ; views disappointing breakfast options & quality of fruit
This hotel is immaculately clean. Has superb views and sits on a beautiful site surrounded by a lovely garden. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are good size and very clean.The atmosphere is tranquil and restful. The pool area is set out with private little spaces not one big open plan area like most pools in hotels. Its an idylic location for people who like peace and quiet
Unique propoerty with historical significance in the area. A little off the beaten path but close enough to eeverything to remain feeling 'connected' to the area. To get the most out of this property a car is a must. Pool lanes were unnecessary and spoilt the look of the pool area.
the staff were very friendly we ate there one night and the food was excellent even though we strayed off the normal menu and asked for different dishes.
Hotel very well located to explore nw sicily. Rooms clean++ facilities excellent! Staff had limited english. Details of local highlights only provided in italian. Would have appreciated someone to discuss local area with.
Friendly staff, clean facilities, fantastic pool Very loud music around the pool during the day....an excess of young children!
It had a pool Extremely basic for a 4 star and the menu at the restaurant very limited. Not a great breakfast either
None of the staff in hotel spoke any bit of english, so it was hard to communicate
room too small for 2 people .
The hotel was generally clean and facilities ok Total confusion by the reception lady regarding the payment and arrangements that others had agreed - lack of understanding. You really need a car for this one as out of the way and taxi prices from hotel expensive.
Quite location,clean,nice view,friendly staff,children enjoy in showers facilities.....
The staff were excellent and it was a lovely run family hotel, and they could not do enough for us. On your website it did say that the hotel had a restaurant, however it does not and unfortunately there is not restaurants nearby
Rooms are comfortable and very clean, we received fresh towels daily. The staff/owners of the hotel are customer minded. The hotel is perfectly located for a visit to Enrice and Tranpani (airport) is close as well, but do hire a car when you visit this hotel. The town (Valderice) where the hotel is located is very small with not much to offer.
The hotel seems to have been renewed recently: an elevator avoids frim having to carry luggage using the stairs. Everything was clean. Breakfast could be more elaborate. Nice view on the seaside from the breakfast room and from the second floor balcony. Some rooms may have a seaside view (mine did not) and you may ask for one with a seaside view but may also be exposed to more traffic noise. Not really.
nice view, clean room, excellent bathroom, good breakfast with fresh pastry. Staff not very enthusiastic. Wifi did not work.
Very nice host and hostess Very good dinner excellent wine Nice and clean room and bathroom Calm and fiendly
The kindness of the hole staff.They were very kind and gentle.Hope that some day they'll come and enjoy the beutifull Malta and the islands and the hospitality of the Maltese Islands.
Recently built family hotel, good price-quality ratio, quiet, extremely clean, very good starting location for visiting the most important turistic sites in the region of Trapani, free car parking, pretty easy to reach by car. Breakfast: the hotel has positively reacted to previous critics as we had lots of fresh fruit, juices, jogurt, freshly baked cakes/buiscuits and tipical sicilian sweets Probably not suitable if you use public transportation, instead of own car or bike. Hotel restaurant not open yet (but they are going to offer half board soon and other restuarants are within walking distance).
The staff was very helpful and went out of there way to assist me in leaving at 4:00 am to get to a very early morning flight. Outstanding value for travelers. It's location. From the advertisement on Booking.Com I believed it to be much closer to the ocean than it was....you can't even see it from there unless you are on the roof. Definately not the place to stay if you don't have your own vehicle.
Comfortable, friendly and typical Italian.
The staff, and the hotel atmosphere. There was no heat and we were cold.
Ericevalle is the perfect hotel. The hotel's room was large and very clean. We had a new towels for every day. The staff was nice. The hotel didn't offer any evening entertainment.
It is mountain palce. Room looks dark and not wellcom, brekfast was teribal, just curison and some jogurt.
Staff were very helpful and very good breakfast. Very clean
Very clean and comfortable. Practical for Trapani airport, being only 20 minutes away (better than staying in Trapani town centre in my opinion). Proximity to Erice - a must see in Siciy. Free car park, although parking is a bit limited. Car park a bit tight. The town where the hotel is situated is nothing interestion. Eating out in the town was necessary because we couldn't eat in the restaurant - there is very little in the town centre that we could find except a couple of pizzerias (the pizzas in the place we went to were very good).
The room was clean and comfortable. The staff at the reception was very cold and unfriendly. The place loked like a painting of Escher... it has a ugly modern design but is located in a little town 10 minutes from trapani...totally wrong place for such an eco-monster building.
Price Double bed, shower , the whole room did not look well. I was expecting more as this is 3 stars hotel, the person at the reception did not speak english well
Good location, very friendly staff, open for check inn all 24 hours, resonable price Breakfast could be better
We chose it for it's very close location to Trapani airport. We would not have wanted to stay there for any other reason but we did have a very good meal in their restaurant, which seemed to be the only place in town. We just stayed the one night as we had a very early start. I would only recommend the hotel for the above reason.
very near Trapani airport after night arrival. staff nice, meal in hotel served late. good parking.
Convenient Very badly organised. Especially the restaurant
The comfortable and big room and the excellent diner
Dinner in the restaurant.
The location of Villa Speranza was very convenient. The fact that it had a restaurant where we both could have an evening meal was good and the food and surroundings were excellent. The service was excellent. The staff at both the hotel and restaurant could not have been more friendly towards us. the design and decor of both the hotel and restaurant were good. The bedrooms were spacious. There was a little noise in the evening from young children playing in the courtyard, but once the windows were closed and the air conditioning turned on there was little noise. As our stay was on a Saturday night and the restaurant was a family restaurant and was obviously very popular with the locals in this little town then some noise could be expected. There was no traffic noise.The air conditioning was thankfully silent. I would not expect this problem on a weekday evening. Asolution to this problem would be to install double glazing to the windows.
We wanted to check out early, but there was no staff present up to 7.30 in the morning.
staff were very helpful and hotel was just down the road from airport so easy to get to very early flight meal in eve wasn't terribly good but glad it was available and waitress was very friendly and pleasant easy to use as an easy access to airport 3.5 km for early flight not much available in area nice garden and in ground floor villa complex so easy exit with bag early in morning
The food in the restaurant is excellent! Located very close to the airport. -
The place is nice, convenient location close to the airport and actually a really good base for exploring Sicily, if you have a car. The place is especially really convenient and nice if you have early or late arrivals. They have a tennis court and some other facilities on ground that looked nice, but during our short stay we did not have much chance to explore the place. Staff is very friendly and helpful, knows a lot about the environs and assists with that little extra that makes it a nice stay. Air conditioning is very effective, as it turns out. This is probably very good if you travel to Sicily during the heat of the summer. Nice tables on every cabin porch to sit and relax etc The place is fair enough, walls are very thin, but small "cabins" with pairs of two "rooms" in each, so if you are a family of four or travelling together in a group, this is perhaps not so much of a problem. There is some distance between the cabins so it was not noisy, but from the one next door room, don't expect to keep any secrets :) Don't expect a luxurious stay, but clean and basic rooms which I'd say gives good value for money. Not convenient if you do not have a car, is my guess. Perhaps however could be a good stop if you have a bike - not sure whether they had bikes on premises, but in that case, much of the nearby area could be explored even without a car.
Room is very clean and comfy. Staff are very helpful and warm. Very close to Trapani airport.
The owner was very helpful and the actual B and B was in beautifull surroundings but you would need a car if you were planning on staying ther e more than one night. The kitchen where we ate was really authentic farmhouse style and the owner kindly went for food for us that evening. The bedrooms were spacious and atmospheric. It was very far from anywhere and we had no car
convenient location close to Trapani airport as we arrived on late flight, although difficult to find in the dark, Owner drove out to meet us in the end. It was a basic budget room , felt like being in a mobile home. Perfectly clean , and friendly staff
location, customer care. everything was good, just maybe breakfast could be better.

(The Hosting News) – Following the recent unveiling of Google's own cloud service Music Beta, Apple is expected to launch its own as an extension of its popular iTunes Music service.
Apple is said to have recently finalized deals for music licensing with record label EMI, according to tech news site CNET. The company is also said to be finalizing deals with Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group. CNET had also reported last month that a deal with Warner Brothers was already in the works.
With its launch of a cloud-based music feature, Apple will have finished third behind Amazon and Google in the race to do so. However, finishing last doesn't necessarily mean bad news for company.
With the news that Apple is readying lucrative deals with top record labels, the company will release its service with key licensing from top record companies, something Google and Amazon have yet to receive. The licensing will give Apple the ability to provide cloud features that Google and Amazon cannot provide due to legal constraints.
Google's Music Beta was unveiled earlier this month without licensing. Amazon had previously taken a similar approach with its Amazon Cloud Player, which resulted in some record companies exploring legal options against Amazon.
Although it's been confirmed that deals were being readied, it's still unknown when Apple will publicly confirm them and when the company will launch the cloud service.

It's been over a month since you've left me and I feel so alone. Most days I can smile and get through it, even tell my fondest memories of you. But every once in awhile I feel as if my whole world has come crashing down on me because you aren't here to help me through any of this pain. I get so frustrated at everyone else in my family because they don't understand how much you meant to me on an everyday basis. I know you fed me, clothed me, and made sure I did well in school. But outside of all that, you were my best friend. We laughed together at stupid jokes that no one else understood, we sang songs together that we knew brought us closer, and we knew just what to say to each other when the other was feeling sad or upset. Now, I'm sad and upset and no one here will understand, Mom. I'm only 19, I can't be a replacement mom for Lillie and I know your husband is not up to the job's standards. Mom, I've never needed your help in anything more in my life. Now that you're gone, I don't know what to do with my emotions. I'm trying to move on and start a new life with my boyfriend, we got an apartment together and I've been working my ass off to make it feel like a home, just like you did. I'm not angry with you, I will never be. I'm just so heartbroken that you're gone and I don't understand why you are gone in the first place. We were so close in age and spirit, we were more like sisters than a mother and a daughter. I can't stand the idea of not being able to pick up my phone and call you. I can't imagine someday walking down the isle without you there smiling back at me. And my kids one day going to Grandma's house to play and get spoiled? Never going to happen, Mom. Why is it this way? Why did God want you to leave me so soon? I want you back, I need you back. You weren't even sick, you just went to bed one night and didn't wake up. I miss you. I miss the way you smelled. I missed the way you'd tell me that you'd never fight my battles but you'd always be in my corner. Now that corner is empty, collecting dust and I've never felt so alone in my life. People always ask me if I need anything, to just let them know.... I need you back and I know no one can do anything about that, Mom.

Cardiff, June 21: India captain MS Dhoni said the 8-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the Champions Trophy semi-final was a "well-written script".
India stormed into the final with a dominant performance over the neighbours on Thursday (June 20). Bowlers swung the ball after winning a good toss and batsmen completed the job in a hurry.
"I think it is a well-written script, good toss to win, started well by the bowler, unfortunately for Sri Lanka they lost (Tillakaratne) Dilshan. We capitalised on that, then the bowlers bowled well, especially the spinners. I think it is important to have good bowlers in the side. The ball was still doing a bit," Dhoni said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Dhoni, who bowled 4 overs, was asked why he decided to bring himself on. And his reply was: "Bhuvnesh had already bowled 8 or 9, we wanted to keep some of the fast bowlers' overs for the death, so with Karthik around I think might as well give it a go. I thought even if it goes badly, I'll bowl one over. It went okay so I bowled another," he explained.
On the final where they face England on Sunday (June 23), the skipper said: "England are a very good side, and we have played a lot against them in the last couple of years."

Fish & Chips Sales Increase
As the British population feels the credit crunch pinch further, people are choosing to eat in more often and cut down on the numbers of meals out. While more expensive restaurants are feeling the squeeze, some of the more traditional British favourites such as Fish & Chip shops are doing brisk business. Restaurants Weston Super Mare features successful fish and chips bar Winston's.
According to statistics, British fast food establishments saw an increase of 3.2 percent during the first quarter of 2008. People still want to treat themselves during this period of belt-tightening in the British economy, and traditional British fare like the humble portion of fish and chips is one way to do just that without breaking the bank.
British Food Most Missed
With more that 350,000 Britons emmigrating each year, most in search of warmer and sunnier climates, it's not surprising that exports have increased to meet the needs of those British Expats no longer able to find their favourite comfort food.
According to leading online British supermarket BritishCornerShop.co.uk, which caters for British Expats, the items most missed are:
- Baked Beans
- Baked Beans and Pork Sausages
- Fray Bentos Pies
- Mince Pies
- Bisto Gravy Granules
- Twiglets
- Walkers Crisps
- Robinsons Squash
- Cadbury Chocolate
- Marmite
For more information about this online shopping service for British Expats, see a review of British Corner Shop by the great website guide.
Focus on British Pesto
There is nothing better than fresh pesto made from locally produced ingredients, for that fresh vibrant herb smell and taste. Purely Pesto are one local British producer based in Suffolk who are passionate about fresh, local produce.
Where possible they use locally grown ingredients and take pride in the fact that no additives or preservatives are used. With just ten products in their range, including basil, rocket, coriander and sage pesto, they are a small British enterprise worth supporting.
More small producers like Purely Pesto are needed, and with fresh innovative products like these we are certain they will continue to thrive.
British Chef Michael Caines
In recent years British Chefs have re-asserted themselves as some of the finest in the world. Michael Caines personifies the new breed, combining classical French training with traditional locally produced British produce to sensational effect.
One of Britain's most acclaimed chefs, Michael now has restaurants in Manchester, Exeter, Glasgow and Canterbury. You may recognise him from the television series 'The Great British Menu', a chef's competition broadcast on BBC2 for the honour of cooking for the Queen's 80th birthday.
Michael makes his achievements in the kitchen seem all the more amazing when you realize that he only has one arm. Chefs like Michael continue to better the reputation of British cooking with their dedication and excellence.
British Prefer TV Dinners
The British people officially prefer to eat their food in front of the television. A recent poll about the British dinner revealed that over fifty percent of Britons regularly eat their dinner while watching television.
This trend seems to be more prolific in the younger generation, with teenagers being the most likely to eat their food in front of the television. However older does not always mean wiser, and the most popular programmes to watch while eating included the news, and soap operas.
The sofa or comfy armchair is the seat of choice for sitting on while we eat, but five percent of the more discerning diners quoted leather recliner chairs as being their preferred dining seat.
It has been suggested that people who watch television while eating are prone to eating more. Shovelling food into the mouth while distracted by your favourite TV show may well cause excessive weight gain in some cases. However, this seems unlikely to curb the popularity of the British TV dinner, which is as popular as a cup of tea and slice of toast in the morning. Nothing wrong with that of course.
Appliances are vital today ensuring we get our morning cup of tea and toast. Russell Hobbs has a range of stylish kitchen appliances designed with life in mind. With toasters, kettles, blenders and food processors Russell Hobbs have the technology to make your morning a more enjoyable experience.
British Children Getting Healthier
In recent years advertisers have been blamed for targetting British children with unhealthy junk food. Whether this is a main cause for increased obesity in British children or not, the message seems to be hitting home, with both adults and children recognising the need for a healthier lifestyle, more exercise and better eating habits.
Monica Dawson, mother of three says, 'As a family we eat a lot of traditional food. My children have all benefitted from healthier school dinners, as well as eating fewer sweets during the school day. We've also got them doing more exercise, and persuaded them to spend less time on computer games and more time running around playing garden games. The combination of improved diet and exercise has definitely given them much more energy'.
The traditional British diet can seem a little unhealthy, but basically we do have a good balance of meat, vegetables and carbohydrates in our dishes, we just need to be careful when preparing food to do it in healthy ways.

Ben Carson: Abortion Causes Baby Ghosts-Reported as Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
Ben Carson once said abortions cause baby ghosts that haunt hospitals.
The Truth:
We couldn't find any record of Ben Carson saying that abortions cause baby ghosts, and this appears to be satire confused as factual news.
Ben Carson's supposed comment about abortions causing baby ghosts began to circulate on social media in a meme back in 2015 while he was a GOP presidential candidate. The meme, which showed these words next to an image of Carson, doesn't cite a source:
"Abortions create baby ghosts which haunted the hospitals the abortion was performed in. The baby ghosts then steal medical supplies, which is what drives up medical costs. I know this because I'm a doctor."
And Ben Carson was an outspoken critic of abortion during the presidential campaign, but we couldn't find any quotes in which Carson said abortion causes baby ghosts to haunt hospitals and steal medical supplies.
Given all that, we're reporting this one as fiction.

Former teacher and headhunter
Homeopathy came along for me, following careers in teaching and headhunting.
Having been extremely sceptical about those little white pills, I have now come to appreciate the true potency and power of homeopathy, and its ability to change lives.
I have continued to use teaching skills to share what I have learned at homeopathic seminars and conferences around the world. Running a headhunting database was not only a great introduction to computers, but also good training in searching for the person (remedy) for the right job (patient). Even high school chemistry (which I never thought could be useful in later life!) has found its place in study of the mineral kingdom remedies. Nothing is wasted!
Working with Synergy software and at Helios Pharmacy I've had ideal opportunities to meet and mix with some fantastic colleagues – I've yet to meet a homeopath who hasn't at least a few wonderful examples of the magic and transformation that can occur with a deep and long lasting life change after a remedy, changes brought about by those tiny doses that I was so sceptical about.
But the proof of the pudding was in the eating. I've been practising now for 20 years. I love being self-employed and organising my own time. Brain stimulation is always available from patients and practitioners, or more structured routes, e.g. a Master of Science degree from University of Central Lancashire.
Studying homeopathy has helped me to learn so much about self, life, people. I relish the opportunity to travel and meet like-minded souls from nearly every continent, and the development of international friendships. Yes, homeopathy as a career choice can have its frustrations, but for fulfilment, it wins hands down.

Abstract or Description
Abstract: "We here present a theory of thermodynamical equilibrium for materials for which the free-energy density [psi](x) depends not only on the concentration (or mass density) u(x) and its gradient u'(x), but also on u"(x), the second gradient of u. We show that a broad class of such materials can exhibit equilibrium states that are periodic in a nontrivial way. It is possible that the theory of such second-order materials may supply insight into periodic layering phenomena observed in various types of mixtures, such as concentrated soap solutions and metallic alloys, but in this paper we do not refer to applications. Instead, we examine the mathematical implications of the theory."

Samsung Summer Internship Process – Interview Questions – Software Trainee – Karan Tirthani
Karan Tirthani, Software Trainee at Samsung R & D ,Bangalore Shares his Selection process in this brief interview
College: NSIT
Branch: ECE
Please tell us about your Interview/Selection procedure (Short listing procedure, GDs, Interviews).
The interview process spanned in three rounds.
Round 1: Logical aptitude test
It was a one hour test including logical questions along with some English questions.
More than 50% students were selected in this round. Time is crucial in logical aptitude test so you can't afford to spend too much time on one question.
Round 2: Coding round
Coding round consisted of three questions of different weightage. We were given 1 hour to solve them.
Two questions were 8 points each whereas one question was of 5 points.
I solved both the 8 points questions.
Q.1 8 points
Maximum subarray problem
This problem is asked quite often and can be found easily on popular sites.
Q.2 8 points
Complete a function to check if two given trees are equal or not (every element).
Q.3 5 points
Link: https://www.codechef.com/problems/SUMSLOPE
Round 3: group discussion
The third and final round was GD. Groups of 11-12 people were made.
This round didn't test technical skills. The topic for the GD was : is technology affecting human relations ?
31 students were selected.
28 from software, 3 from hardware.
What and how many internships and projects you did at college? How did you get them?
I worked as a content writer at letscounsel.com, it is a website made by our seniors
I didn't do any projects.
How did you prepare for the placement season? What advice would you give to your juniors regarding the placement season?
I learnt basic coding in 11th and 12th and practiced on various online platforms.
I spent the summer vacations after the second year learning data structures and algorithms.
There are many online blogs and websites like Stanford lectures, that I referred that immensely helped me.
My advice to juniors would be to focus on every concept thoroughly and not to move forward without understanding it completely. Practice a lot of questions and don't just read code, implement it yourself even if you know the algorithm! It will help you to know about corner cases that are important in interviews.
What's the role of academics in getting a good placement at NSIT?
Some of the companies only allow COE and IT, hence a decent percentage helps in being eligible for most of the companies. Being in ECE, pursuing the software field, we need to make every opportunity count.
Percentage above 70 will make you eligible for most of the companies.
Moreover, some of the companies use percentage as a decisive criterion when choosing equally capable candidates.
Elaborate on the type of work in this kind of role?
Software trainee. We will be assigned a mentor and we will work on live projects.
Would you like to give any general advice to your juniors?
The age old advice: your first two years should be about exploring your interests. Get involved in events and societies in college. Don't get disheartened if you are not selected you will eventually land in the right place. I didn't get into any society but I tried for every single one of them: P.
You will meet so many new people. Take inspiration from them.
Don't miss the opportunity to make some of the most amazing friends you will ever have.
And don't forget to have fun.
College is about the process of finding yourself, and it doesn't have to end here. Its okay if you don't know where your interest lies.
And as coldplay says : Lights will guide you home 😛

Sorry, I meant to say here that it works with 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6 in unstable. 3.5.6.dfsg.1-1 does not work. Having had a look at the source code I have discovered that this is because 3.5.6 checks the return value of pam_open_session while older versions just ignore it. In fact pam_selinux fails with either version, leaving the context of my processes as system_u:system_r:initrc_t. However, kdm is also running in this context, which isn't right; so it looks like the bug is in my selinux policy rather than in kdm. > Please see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=249784 (and ignore > the bug submitters bad attitude) > > There is a patch that might work, but I am currently a bit too clueless about > SElinux to accept that patch - and I don't have much faith in the submitter. Well I'll take a look at it, but I don't know that much about selinux myself either. Thanks, -- Martin Orr

Urgent call for Action: Please sign this letter encouraging British MPs to take action against the dog meat trade.
The estimated 30 million dogs caught up in Asia's dog meat trade each year suffer unimaginably. Many are stolen pets, others sourced from the streets or, in South Korea, raised on pitiful "dog farms".
But it doesn't have to be this way! Throughout Asia- and the world- there is a growing animal welfare movement calling for an end to this trade- a dirty, profit-driven industry that not only results in the brutal treatment of dogs, but also poses significant risks to public safety and human health.
Sign this Letter!
We need YOUR to help!
There are calls for a Committee Meeting at the House of Commons in London next month to discuss the dog meat trade and what role British Members of Parliament (MPs) can take to support our call for an end to this trade.
On the 28th January this year, ACPA's founding members, amongst other charities, were represented at a meeting with MPs at the House of Commons in London, alongside our passionate ambassadors, Peter Egan and Lesley Nicol, and with support from Dame Judi Dench, to discuss the trade and what the British Government can do to help.
The meeting attracted an unparalleled number of MPs and resulted in 138 MP's signing an Early Day Motion (EDM) in support for action to be taken to tackle this trade.
Watch a short video of the MP'S Briefing at the House of Commons in January
Please sign the petition above calling on members of the British Parliament to host a second debate to discuss what actions they can take to help tackle this cruel and dangerous trade.

First-quarter ConcernsThe major headwinds heading into earnings season is the expected decline in mortgage loan origination fees, with a lower volume of refinancing activity, and reduced gains on the sale of newly originated loans to Fannie Mae ( FNMA) and Freddie Mac ( FMCC). These are major short-term concerns for Wells Fargo, which currently dominates the U.S. mortgage market with a 25% share of origination volume. Then again, JPMorgan analyst Vivek Juneja on Friday made the case that improving loan servicing revenue and accounting adjustments will offset most of the company's mortgage revenue declines this year. "We expect 1Q13 earnings to be relatively weak for the bank group, owing to soft loan growth and a drop-off in mortgage banking. This poses risk for a pullback in bank stocks," according to BMO Capital Markets analyst Lana Chan. In a note to clients on Tuesday, Chan included U.S. Bancorp among the banks she was "most concerned about," along with Comerica ( CMA) of Dallas and Cathay General Bancorp ( CATY) of Los Angeles. BMO Capital Markets analyst Peter Winter rates both Wells Fargo and U.S. Bancorp "market perform," and on Tuesday raised his price target for Wells Fargo by two dollars to $42, and his target for U.S. Bancorp by a dollar to $37, which the firm said was "to reflect a switch in valuation methodology to forward P/E on 2014 estimates." JPMorgan Chase analyst Vivek Juneja rates Wells Fargo "overweight," with a price target of $41.00. The analyst in a report said that his positive view of the shares was based on an attractive valuation, and also "due to 1) better fee income growth opportunities with recent acquisitions of loan portfolios, expansion of capital markets and wealth management businesses as well as leading mortgage banking position; 2) cost reduction plan;
A "Core Holding" for Long-Term InvestorsWhile being careful to say "this is not a trading call," KBW analyst Christopher Mutascio said in a note to clients on Tuesday that "Wells Fargo should continue to be a core holding for long-term investors." According to Mutascio, Wells Fargo has achieved a compounded annual growth rate for tangible book value per share plus dividends, of 13.9% since the end of 2001. This compares to a median CAGR of just 0.4% for 11 large-cap bans covered by KBW. Second-place for CAGR since the end of 2001 for tangible book value plus dividends goes to PNC Financial Services Group ( PNC), at 11.3%, with U.S. Bancorp in third place, with a CAGR of 8.3%. When looking at share price performance over the same period, Wells Fargo was in first place, with shares rising 57% from the end of 2001 through 2012, while U.S. Bancorp placed second, with shares rising 53%. JPMorgan was ranked third, with shares rising 21%. PNC was a distant fourth, with shares rising just 4% for that 11-year period. Then again, again, that's pretty decent performance for the period, considering the other seven big banks saw double digit losses. Fifth Third Bancorp brought up the rear, with shares falling 75% from the end of 201 through the end of 2012, according to KBW. -- Written by Philip van Doorn in Jupiter, Fla. >Contact by Email.

One of the things I love about social media is connecting with others. Especially when it leads to the opportunity to review a book. And this was one I needed to read:
Martha's Stettinius' memoir of her experience with her mother's dementia came into my life at just the right time. Not only could I relate to it, given my family's ongoing journey with the disease, but it was filled with practical and prescriptive information for those caring for a loved one with dementia.
I appreciated the frankness and intimacy of Martha's storytelling. I know all too well the frustration and exhaustion she details so expertly. The struggle of being pulled in so many directions as a child and parent in a crisis situation. The unexpected and ridiculous obstacles one is forced to overcome in order to ensure the best care for your loved one.
I have experienced and felt all those things.
What was not present was the sense of loss and pain my family has experienced since my dad was diagnosed with dementia. Martha offers a different point of view. Dementia brought her closer to her mother. After a painful, tumultuous history with her mom, she felt through the disease she was "reunited in what the Japanese call 'amae" (pronouced 'a-mah-yee'), the protective, dependent cocoon of mother and child."
Martha's mother became a gentler, more receptive person when she had dementia, and in many ways their relationship improved. They had an opportunity to connect in ways they hadn't before. Martha explains early in the book how she dislikes the view of dementia as "a tragic wasting away and a long, painful goodbye - indeed, as the complete erasure of the person who once was."
That is exactly how I view dementia.
Because that has been my experience. After a lifetime of enjoying an extremely close bond with my father, I have been filled with a profound sense of loss. I write about those feelings here in this space often. Dementia has taken the father I have known and loved away from me.
So I was unable to completely relate to or understand Martha's view of dementia in that respect. But many of her experiences were familiar, and I found her book to be incredibly helpful.
The first thing I did was share a copy with my mom. As the primary caregiver for my dad, I felt it was so important she have her hands on all the resources Martha details in her book. I wish we had read it sooner. We could have possibly avoided a few missteps along our own journey. The book will definitely be invaluable as we move forward.
It would be an essential read for any family dealing with dementia. Martha shares her extensive research and lays out so much important information in one place. Dementia IS an epidemic. Countless families will be impacted by this disease. I was in no way prepared, and that hurt us all. Knowledge is power, and this book gives you the tools you need to face the journey.
Thank you, Martha, both for writing and for sharing it with me!

Housed within approximately 7,700 square feet of the existing Chevy Chase Medical Plaza are the new Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) and Gastrointestinal Laboratory (GI Lab). This OSHPD certified center includes a new waiting area, with private consultation, pre-operatory beds, nurse station, endoscope procedure rooms and recovery area.
Crucial to the entire process was to design a comfortable yet aesthetically pleasing surgery facility in a cost effective manner.
Patients enter through a luxurious waiting room. Walls are lined in iridescent brown wall-coverings, with modern golden furniture to relax in, and surrounded by an eclectic collection of photographs.
Zodiac, a granite like solid surface is used on the countertops of the receptionists' area. These furnishing were chosen for their beauty, ability to resist ware, and for being economical. The designer's envisioned a space to calm patients' nerves before entering surgery.
The center offers several procedures, creating a need for specialized equipment and rooms to be designed. Collaborating with HELP International, a medical equipment consultant company, ensured proper equipment purchases, and maintained delivery coordination during construction. The facility is outfitted with the latest state-of-the-art equipment.
The GI Lab's Endoscope Procedure Rooms are located on the east side of the facility, with the surgery rooms are on the north side. With the practicing physicians input the ideal rooms were designed for the various procdures, creating spaces to perform quality care. All spaces were designed in anticipation for future procedures that will be offered at the Chevy Chase Ambulatory Surgery Center & GI Lab.
Joining these two areas is a large open plan space housing the pre-operatory beds, nurses station, and recovery area. Gold curtains allow for privacy between beds when required.
With the selection of calming finishes and considerate attention to facility requirements, a Ambulatory Surgery Center was designed that can be enjoyed by all.
