Ever since I wore that blue dress to the Full Figured Fashion Week runway finale, I can't get the color out of my head.
Now, it's not just any kind of blue, it's more like cobalt blue. It can easily transition into the fall season and looks good on pretty much anyone. Don't we love that?
You know I've said it before, but adding an accessory in a bright color like this really stands out. And it's easier to experiment with these bold colors, when it's just a shoe or piece of jewelry.
Just look at this Enigma Slide Sandal from Endless.com and BCBGMaxAzria Abstract Stone Bracelet from Lord & Taylor. I can see these accessories getting a lot of use out of them.
Once again…you know I can't leave my UK ladies out! I found this Ravel Generous Wedge Sandal and Elasticated Cuff Bracelet (on sale!) over on the plus size ladies fashion web site Marisota.
I can just see me know wearing them with a white summer dress.
Now, that I'm looking at these colors, I can't help but be reminded of the beach or a cold glass of water. LOL! I'm such a day dreamer!!

Going to ask before I end up starting an edit war, on Wikipedia it is generally agreed by the users that Tobi did say he was Madara (an F'ed up way of saying, but he said it none the less.) so what do we say about the guy here?--TheUltimate3 11:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Hints for Tobi's True Identity (Spoilers!)
In the manga there are several hints that Tobi is revealed to be Madara Uchiha.
- Chapter 363, Page 17: Tobi seems to appear out of the dark. "It was a good show...it definately demonstrated the Sharingan's power! Perhaps that boy's eyes are more powerful than Itachi." This could have meant that Tobi was very familiar to the Sharingan and was proud of Sasuke. Itachi, his student, as he admits might have been surpassed by Sasuke. So Tobi knowns that Sasuke knowns the tru power of the Sharingan. Tobi acts as if he is the leader of Akatsuki, giving orders. Itachi some time later on admits that Tobi is the leader of Akakatsuki.
- Chapter 364, Page 18: Tobi activates his Sharingan giving him the possibility of being an Uchiha. Just by that we have hints. "The Sharingan's true power....my power....Madara Uchiha's power..." already gives us a hint that he has the powers of Madara so he might even be him. Also on the page after, he has three tomoes, Obito Uchiha would only have two even if he was resurected. Because he was brobably only resurrected awhile ago.
- Chapter 386, Page 11: "Today Madara is a pathetic shell of his former self. He is no longer worthy of being considered the greatest Uchiha." As said by Itachi. Itachi says that Madara still exists today as a pathetic guy which is what Tobi is.
You might find exceptions to this but this is my way of the theory. Kakashi Namikaze 13:10, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
I agree with this completely if Madara is alive then why would Tobi have his power if he wasn't Madara Uchiha.So the chances of him being Madara are extremely high.
Definite clue
Itachi says that the only other survivor of Uchiha is Madara. Tobi tells Sasuke that he's a survivor of Uchiha. It's obvious. Madara uchiha99 (talk), Kanji: うちは マダラ 九十九, Romaji: Uchiha madara kyū-jū-kyū 18:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
...itachi didnt knoe that tobi had sharingan..
- Your reason behind that is?--TheUltimate3 10:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
one of you quoted "The sharingans true power....my power....Madara Uchiha's power."Madara had mangekyou,and only itachi,madara,and maybe later sasuke can use mangekyou.Haru Mclean Namikaze (talk), Kanji: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn 18:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
What?? What do you mean Itachi didn't know Tobi had Sharingan?? Of course he did. Itachi, and most of Akatsuki know that Tobi is Madara because they regard him as leader...who's the true leader?? Madara!! Itachi was fully aware of Tobi's Sharingan. UchihaDescendant 05:54, 26 April 2008 (UTC)UchihaDescendant
I think [Itachi] only knows because Madara told him he would go lead akatsuki.Otherwise,the rest except kisame know his true identity.Haru Mclean Namikaze (talk), Kanji: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn 13:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sasori, Hidan, and Kakuzu probably never even met Tobi (Madara). --Kakashi Namikaze 22:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Gerald Greens Journey Comes To A Head
Life as a professional basketball player hasnt been easy for Indiana Pacers swingman Gerald Green. Most young men with his level of talent come into the NBA, either fail or succeed, and then move on with their lives. Greens story, however, has been one of failure after failure, which is what makes his redemption with the New Jersey Nets last season all the more inspirational.
I think Ive been the only guy [on this team] whos been cut from their high school team, their professional team, an overseas team, Green said. Its crazy, but I was cut from my high school team, but I was a McDonalds All-American. I got drafted first round by Boston, a first-round pick, but I was cut from the NBA twice, and I was just cut by the Rockets. Then I went overseas for three years and was cut. Everywhere Ive been, Ive been cut, and I played in the D-League twice.
Hows that for a resume? Of course, all that experience makes Green, still only 26 years old, one of the most experienced veterans on the Indiana Pacers, and that is what has thrust him into a leadership role already on his new team.
I love the fact that a lot of guys listen to what I have to say, not just as far as teaching them, but them finding ways to get better, Green said said. Because Ive been through it. I always tell them, Dont take these days for granted, man. This is the best job in the world to have, right here.
So a lot of players listen to me when I say something. I always tell a joke about it to the young guys, You know what? Its going to get better. Lets just get better. If were talking and were about to go shoot, Ill just say, Lets get better, and at the end of the day, thats what its all about There are 150 kids who get drafted and theyre good. Theyre going to be ready to take your spot, so if you cant improve as a player, youre going to be lost in the wind.
That was Green for a while, lost in the wind, but his experiences have seriously humbled him to the point that he can hardly believe hes finally been given the most stable contract situation of his career. In July, Green signed a three-year deal worth $10.5 million with the Pacers.
Im speechless, Green said. Every day I think about it, where Ive come from. Last year at this time I was in China, I was working on my deal and getting ready to go to China, and that team ended up cutting me. Its just crazy man. Every time I think about it, its just like, Whoa. I did a complete 360 being there. It was like I turned around and I was different. Every time I talk about it, its crazy. I just never envisioned myself here, never.
Once upon a time, Green was considered arrogant, but obviously hes come a long way since being drafted by Boston in 2005. Today, hes an integral part of one of the Eastern Conferences most promising teams, and there might not be a single player in the entire league more grateful for his opportunity.
Just being here with an Indiana Pacers jersey, its unbelievable, Green said. This is a really good fit for me; everybody is still young, were a playoff team, and I couldnt be in a better place. Indiana is the home state of basketball and this organization is trying to change its image.
For me to be a part of this team, this organization, this history and the way that theyre going into the future, its unexplainable I couldnt ask better than being here.
The Pacers couldnt ask for better either. When all is said and done, $3.5 million a year for a young man this decent and this talented could prove to be one of the better values of the 2012 crop of free agents.

text: Jay-Z might be cheating with lots of different women but Long Island Princess star, Casey Cohen says she is not one of them. Earlier this week, reports of trouble in Beyonce and Jay-Z's marriage surfaced and the focal point was his supposed infatuation and affair with Casey that was reported by In Touch. Casey says it isn't true and she had a lawyer send out a bunch of cease and desist letters and wants a public apology from the company. Chances are she is not going to get it. I can't remember the last time In Touch lost something. Casey works as a VIP hostess at a club and says she knows Jay-Z but has "never been intimate" with him. How are we describing intimate? Is that sex or some kind of sexual activity? The article said she touches him and flirts with him while she is working. I would guess that is probably what she does with all the guys in the VIP area because her job is to be nice and get them to stay and order more stuff.

The Miliband team aren't desperately happy that Ed's decision not to attend tomorrow's TUC rally has been construed in some quarters (see my last blog) as a U-turn. They are claiming that the event isn't even a rally anyway.
Ed proudly supports the rights of people to voice concerns and lobby Parliament, they tell me. "But there is no rally, people won't be marching, it's not placards and braziers."
They are half right (yes it's only an event at Methodist Central Hall, Westminster) and half wrong (it is still a self-styled 'rally'). Read more

Couple charged in death
Caitlyn Metz said she left her apartment for two hours on an errand to the store and when she returned home and she found her 23-month-old son unresponsive in bed.
The next day, on Feb. 8, 2009, Keegan Andrew Metz was dead, succumbing to horrific injuries that included severe trauma to the forehead and evidence of sodomy. Based on medical evidence and other investigation findings, Metz and her husband, former Spc. Joshua Ryan Starner, await trial in Clarksville, Tenn., charged with murder and rape. No further details were available, nor was an explanation about why Keegan's mother was also charged with rape and murder.
Starner enlisted in July 2006 and served in Iraq from September 2007 to October 2008. An 11C indirect fire infantryman, he was assigned to 1st Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell. He was discharged in May 2010.
Mishandling an Xbox
Eight-year-old RJ will probably have to be fed through a tube for the rest of his life because his mother's boyfriend, Sgt. Rocky Donadio, beat him so badly that doctors had to remove part of his pancreas and intestines.
Donadio beat him after the boy accidentally deleted Donadio's Xbox "Grand Theft Auto" profile. Donadio is serving a 75-year sentence on related charges for the 2009 assault at Fort Sill, Okla.
He was charged in August 2010, nine months after his girlfriend's son RJ was hospitalized with serious permanent injuries. It took the jury 30 minutes to convict Donadio.
He was discharged after his conviction and busted to E-1.
RJ's mother, Misty Stobaugh was also charged and convicted of abusing RJ. She will be released from prison this summer, according to Oklahoma corrections department records.
Donadio's last assignment was with 2nd Battalion, 5th Artillery Regiment, 75th Fires Brigade at Fort Sill. He was a radio operator-maintainer who was deployed for a year in Iraq from November 2005 to November 2006. He was awarded three Army Achievement Medals, three Good Conduct Medals and an Army Commendation Medal.
Crying too much
Kevin Randal Hill, 32, is serving a 144-month prison sentence for the brutal beating of his 5-month-old daughter while his wife was away from home for a field exercise in January 2011. He was at home after a recent medical discharge, but was living on Fort Sill with his wife, Casey Barnett Ruiz, an active-duty soldier.
In a written confession, Hill admitted beating Liyah when she would not stop crying, then slammed the baby onto a couch and pushed his weight onto her, causing her to stop breathing.
"I went to the field and came back and she was on her deathbed," said Ruiz, a diesel mechanic who has since remarried and remains at Fort Sill.
Liyah, now almost 3, survived but is severely disabled.
"She can't walk, she can't talk," Ruiz told Army Times. "She can't crawl, she's wheelchair-bound."
Ruiz said her daughter has a 15-year life expectancy.
Hill joined the Army in 2002 and served until March 2010 when he was discharged for a non-combat-related injury. He was a food service specialist who did two tours in Afghanistan and five months in Iraq.
At sentencing, Hill's defense presented testimony and evidence that Hill suffered from post-traumatic stress, a claim his former wife vehemently disputes.
"He was never diagnosed with PTSD before this happened," she said.
Hill was also ordered to pay more than $1.2 million into a fund to cover the baby's lifetime medical care, though his ex-wife said she doesn't expect to see any of that money.
Because Liyah's condition makes it impossible for Ruiz to deploy, she said she is being kicked out of the Army.
"The Army is forcing me to choose between Liyah and the Army, and I'd choose her before the Army every day," she said.
Planning for life after the Army, Ruiz is taking nursing classes four nights a week, getting home at 9 p.m. to relieve her mother, who cares for Liyah.
"We're trying to get a fundraiser together to buy her a handicap van," she said, adding that the vehicle will cost between $50,000 and $70,000.
Hill has been discharged. While he was in the Army, Hill received four Army Commendation Medals, three Army Achievement Medals and two Good Conduct Medals.
The torture of Malik
The Comanche County, Okla., assistant district attorney told the jury that 1st Lt. Lancey D. Ray "tortured" his 10-year-old stepson, Malik Ray. On the day Malikdied, Ray had been disciplining him most of the day because he wanted a different lunch than Ray offered. He forced Malik to stand outside in freezing temperatures and stand at attention for extended periods of time and beat him with a belt. Malik did not survive the ordeal.
Ray is serving life behind bars for the first-degree murder of Malik. Malik's mother, Denise Ray, was later charged with enabling child abuse because she allegedly hit the child with a board so hard that she broke it. Her trial date has not been set.
Lancey Ray, 40, entered the Army in 1997, rising to the rank of sergeant before going to Officer Candidate School and earning his commission in 2009. He was a field artillery officer when he was discharged after his conviction. He deployed to Iraq from March 2006 to April 2007, Army records show. He earned three Army Commendations Medals, two Army Achievement Medals and three Good Conduct Medals.
Fatally failing Talia
Spc. Naeem Williams obtained custody of his daugther in December 2004. Seven months later, she was dead and he was in jail, charged with first-degree murder and facing the death penalty. The infantryman is scheduled to go to trial in January for allegedly beating 5-year-old Talia Williams to death. Talia's stepmother, Delilah Williams, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and is awaiting sentencing. She is expected to testify against Spc. Williams.
Talia's mother, Tarshia Williams, who lives in South Carolina, has sued the Army for its failure to protect Talia from her family despite significant evidence that Talia was being abused during her seven months at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.
Her lawsuit contends many in the Army failed to intervene or ask questions that might have saved her daughter's life.
The Army tried to have the case thrown out, but senior U.S. District Judge Alan C. Kay ruled in April 2010 that her case could go forward. In a 42-page opinion Kay quoted then-Maj. Gen. Benjamin Mixon, saying "the death of Talia Williams followed a series of missed opportunities to potentially prevent the death of the child." Mixon was commander of the 25th Infantry Division at the time and noted that he directed an investigation of the case, which indicated the [Family Advocacy Program Manager] was negligent in her duty to report suspected child abuse."
According to court records, Schofield military police were called July 16, 2005, to Talia's home, where she was unresponsive and had no pulse. She was pronounced dead at Wahiawa General Hospital that day.
"EMS discovered bruises on Talia's arms, chest, knees and thighs, as well as a small laceration on her back," court records said.
In a sworn statement in court documents, Spc. Williams "confessed to striking Talia on numerous occasions beginning on March 15 in order to 'discipline' Talia, including on July 16, causing her death."
Delilah Williams told agents that on the day Talia died, Spc. Williams spanked Talia with his belt for wetting herself. Later in the afternoon, Spc. Williams went to check on Talia and learned that she had wet herself again.
"Naeem Williams yelled at Talia to get in the shower and he hit her in the hallway," the document says. "Talia fell from the blow. Naeem Williams then picked up Talia, put her in the bathtub and poured water on her. She did not regain consciousness."
Talia's room had no mattress, no blankets and no furniture as they had all been removed by her parents "as a form of punishment," the document says. The complaint says that "blood spatters could be seen throughout the Williams residence." Talia's room had "blood splatters on the walls … caused by Naeem Williams 'whipping' Talia with his belt on Talia's back 'bursting open' the scars."
According to the court records, Williams frequently duct-taped Talia to a bunk bed post, covering her eyes and mouth with duct tape — "so she couldn't scream" or see — and then he whipped her with a belt "for more an hour at a time." At times, Williams and his wife withheld food from Talia for days at a time and sometimes they made her "squat like a duck" as a "disciplinary intervention." The court record indicates that this treatment went on for months.
But the Army had plenty of warning that Talia was in danger.
According to the court records, five months earlier, in February, Criminal Investigative Command agent Michael Parker was notified by MPs that employees at the Schofield Barracks Child Development Center saidthat marks on Talia's body made them suspect she was a victim of child abuse. When the development center employee asked Talia about the marks, she said they were "bug bites, her mother hit her, her father hit her and spider bites as well," according to court documents.
CID agents asked the development center employees to take Talia to the acute care center at Schofield Barracks to be examined by a doctor. The doctor, identified in court records as Dr. Mark Schmalz, examined Talia and concluded it was not child abuse.
"I can't say with 100 percent certainty, but about 99, 98 to 99 percent certainty that it was not abuse," he is quoted as telling the CID agent in charge. Schmalz has not responded to Army Times' request for comment.
While Schmalz was examining Talia, CID says it did a background check on Williams and his wife and found nothing suspicious. Based upon the doctor's opinion, and the lack of suspicious information in the background checks, CID did not inform Hawaii Child Protective Services — as called for in an agreement between the Army and the state of Hawaii. After the doctor's conclusion and the results of the background check on Naeem and Delilah Williams, CID handed Talia back to her parents.
But according to court records, the Williams household had been the subject of several domestic violence reports in January and February 2005. And in June — a month before Talia was killed — MPs received a call from a neighbor reporting that there was a child screaming in the Williams home. The MPs responded and found Talia "upstairs in a room, naked and mute, standing near feces on the floor" with scratches on her face, according to court records. Her father told the MPs she was scratched by a friend. The MPs took no action and left Talia in the home.
The death of Harmone'e
Pfc. Roderick L. Elam Jr., 21, was convicted in January of causing the brain and liver injuries that led to the 2011 death of 2-month-old Harmone'e Elam.
Elam was an automated logistics specialist assigned to Fort Carson, Colo. He was sentenced to 32 years in prison, according to the court records.
Elam's wife, Lakeria Shazarea Grant, 21, also is charged with child abuse resulting in death, accused of failing to act upon her daughter's medical needs. She faces an August trial, according to the Colorado court records.
Police allege that she and her husband waited until Harmone'e stopped breathing before calling 911.
Under questioning by police, Elam eventually admitted to the use of force against the girl, including squeezing her abdomen between his legs and hitting her on the back of the head. He also claimed the child knocked her head on a bathtub soap tray, The (Colorado Springs) Gazette reported.
Elam entered the Army in June 2010 and was assigned to Fort Carson in January 2011. He was discharged in September 2012.
A convicted molester
Spc. Joseph Allsop, 29, was sentenced in February 2012 to two life sentences for the sexual assault and murder of his 5-month-old daughter Jade at Fort Hood, Texas.
Allsop wasn't a suspect in Jade's death until he was accused — and confessed to — molesting a boy, a 7-year-old family member.
The coroner had ruled that Jade's 2005 death was due to "undetermined causes." But the molestation confession led investigators to learn that when Allsop was 14, he was convicted of molesting a 9-year-old boy in Oregon, according to Shaina Allsop. She said he was supposed to be a registered sex offender.
When Shaina Allsop learned of her husband's sordid history, she urged investigators to reopen the unexplained death of Jade.
Jade Allsop was home with her dad when she stopped breathing and was rushed to the hospital. She was revived once in the ambulance, but died soon thereafter.
Allsop soon wrote a 12-page confession, admitting to molesting Jade, the 7-year-old relative and several other children. When the police confronted Allsop about Jade's death, his wife said, he admitted that he sexually suffocated her.
Because of the Oregon molestation, Joseph Allsop was a convicted sex offender when he enlisted in 2002. The routine Army background check did not uncover Allsop's juvenile record. Army Recruiting Command officials point out that many states seal juvenile records to those screening recruits.
The Army relies on face-to-face questioning by recruiters who ask, four times, "Do you have or have you ever had any law violations?" In many cases, according to a recruiting command spokesman, "an applicant who has had violations as a juvenile has no record that recruiters can access. And if he answers the recruiter's question by responding that he has never had any law violations, there is no way for a recruiter to know otherwise."
Allsop was subjected to a second background check when he re-entered the Army in April 2007. Again, the juvenile record apparently was not discovered.
In a June 4 congressional hearing on sexual assaults, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno acknowledged that the Army's background checks are imperfect.
"Background checks are done," Odierno said, "but the ability to identify sexual offenders is certainly not 100 percent right now. We have to do better job of doing that."
90 days for 2-time abuser
Spc. Daniel Sheffield pleaded guilty in January 2012 to child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury. He entered the plea during an appearance before Colorado Springs District Judge Thomas Kennedy, according to The Gazette.
Sheffield, 26, was arrested in July 2011, accused of throwing a bottle at his 8-month-old son, fracturing the baby's skull. He was sentenced in March 2012 to 90 days in jail and five years of intensive supervision.
A 91B wheeled vehicle mechanic assigned to the 43rd Combat Support Sustainment Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, Sheffield called a Colorado Springs police detective in July 2011 to confess he lied to investigators twice in the past day about his son's injuries, The Gazette reported.
Sheffield and his wife took their son to Evans Army Community Hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with a skull fracture and subdural hematoma, police said, according to The Gazette.
The child was transferred to Memorial Hospital and was released the next afternoon, according to Brian Newsome, the hospital's spokesman.
Sheffield first told police that he found two large plastic toys in the infant's playpen, and implied his
5-year-old son dropped them on his brother.
A few hours later, though, he told investigators that he was dancing with the child in his arms when he lost his balance, hitting the 8-month-old's head on the dining room table.
Sheffield said he concocted the first story to keep his children from being taken away by social services workers since he had a history of child abuse.
Two years earlier, in November 2009, Sheffield was arrested and charged with misdemeanor child abuse after leaving bruises on his son, according to court records. He pleaded guilty in January 2010, according to court records and was given a two-year deferred sentence, as well as 48 hours of community service. He was allowed to stay in the Army, and served a year in Afghanistan. He was discharged in February 2012.
The major and his wife
A federal grand jury in New Jersey indicted an Army major and his wife charging them with 17 counts of abusing their three foster children over five years.
According to the indictment, Maj. John E. Jackson and his wife, Carolyn Jackson, employed "disciplinary and child-rearing techniques that were neglectful and cruel on the Jackson foster/adoptive children."
The techniques named in the indictment include physically assaulting the adoptive children and their own three biological children.
They abused the adoptive children, the indictment says, by not allowing them to drink water, forcing one to "consume food that caused them pain and suffering such as red pepper flakes, hot sauce and/or raw onion … [and to] ingest excessive sodium, or sodium-laden substances."
The indictment says the Jacksons ordered their biological children to make sure the thirsty adoptive children did not drink from the toilet.
Prosecutors said the children suffered broken bones from the beatings and the couple didn't allow the children to get medical attention.
Jackson is a field artillery officer assigned to Program Executive Office Ammunition at Picatinny Arsenal, N.J. He and his wife were ordered to have no contact with children.
They have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
A trial has not yet been scheduled.
The starvation of Marcus
When Pvt. Connell Williams moved to Fort Sill from Fort Gordon, Ga., in August 2009, he left his wife and two children — both daughters — with their mother.
Williams was soon joined by his girlfriend, Candice Holloway, and her two children, 10-year-old Marcus and 8-year-old Karisma.
Williams applied for on-post housing, telling Fort Sill authorities that Holloway was his wife and the boy and girl were his children.
In the on-post house where Marcus lived, Williams and Holloway withheld food from Marcus and were routinely "beating him about the head and shoulders with a plastic bat, striking on the bottom of his feet with drum sticks … pouring ice cold water on" him "when he was disrespectful or would steal food," according to court documents.
The court seized a video of Marcus being brutalized by Williams. "Connell made him put on his full 50-60 pounds of gear and march around the living room," according to Sanford Coats, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma.
According to the indictment charging Williams with first-degree murder, Marcus was systematically starved and tortured by Williams.
When Marcus, getting only 500 calories a day, tried to steal food, he was beaten. He died of starvation on May 5, 2011. He weighed 44 pounds.
Coats initially sought the death penalty for Pvt. Williams. But he pleaded guilty in February and was sentenced to life behind bars. The next month, he was dishonorably discharged. Holloway was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The plea was entered after two days of trial, causing the presiding judge to say he was forced to "respectfully disagree" with the decision to accept a plea from Williams.
Despite Marcus' deteriorating condition, neighbors did not seem to notice or question why neither he nor his sister attended school. Although Candace Holloway had no military ID, she moved freely around the post.
According to sources familiar with the case, Pvt. Williams presented his marriage license when applying for housing for his "family."
He had two daughters yet he registered a boy and girl. No one checked the records.
The Army launched a 15-6 into the incident but stopped the investigation at the request of federal authorities.
Fort Sill officials refused to answer questions about the case.■

Under the "spare room subsidy", people living in social housing deemed to have more bedrooms than they need have had their housing benefit reduced.
Gwyn Holland, treasurer for Bridgwater People's Assembly which organised the petition, spoke at the council meeting and called on the council not to evict tenants because of the tax.
Mr Holland said: "We have never had this level of support for a petition before. It is not enough for councillors to wring their hands. It's time they stood up to a government which is clearly incompetent at introducing reforms to the benefits system.
"Councillors are elected by local people and paid for by local people. It's time they acted in our interests."
Members of the assembly protested outside the council office in Bridgwater before the meeting in a bid to gain the support of councillors as they arrived.
Glen Burrows from the assembly said: "It's absolute financial nonsense because there aren't any alternatives available for the people affected.
"There's a shortage of housing and social housing. If there were loads of one-bedroom flats it would be fine but there aren't.
"People are better off staying where they are rather than moving into private housing where the rents will go up and they will have to get housing benefit anyway."
Nigel Johnson from Nether Stowey said: "It puts the burden of dealing with the deficit on the poorest of people, which is completely wrong. It is an administrative nightmare and creates all sorts of oddities that are completely unfair and just a load of nonsense really."
The petition received full backing from Labour, Lib Dem and Independent councillors at the meeting.
Cllr Leigh Redmond from Labour Group said: "It's disgusting the way the government is treating people who are in poor circumstances. It's important that we support people who are in need."
Cllr Duncan McGinty, Conservative leader, was supportive of the appeal not to evict victims of the tax, but put forward a proposal that the petition should be reviewed at the relevant scrutiny committee.
A proposal was passed to lobby the Local Government Association, to in turn lobby Government to change its policy.
It was felt that a single authority urging the Government to change would be ineffective and that there was strength in numbers so the LGA would be the most effective route.
After the meeting Cllr Brian Smedley, chair of corporate scrutiny, said: "This will give people a chance to have a full and open debate about the bedroom tax at a special dedicated scrutiny meeting and to recommend how we can best achieve the aims of the petition.
"When that meeting is set up I would invite anyone who can contribute to the debate to register to participate and turn up with concrete examples and solutions. Clearly we shouldn't be taxing bedrooms."

The pleura includes two thin layers of tissue that protect and
cushion the lungs. The inner layer (visceral pleura) wraps around the lungs and
is stuck so tightly to the lungs that it cannot be peeled off. The outer layer
(parietal pleura) lines the inside of the chest wall. The very thin space
between the layers is called the pleural cavity. A liquid, called pleural
fluid, lubricates the pleural cavity so that the two layers of pleural tissue
can slide against each other.

Sennelier uses the same premium quality pigments in this line of egg tempera as they do in their oil paints, assuring the same unequaled vibrancy and brilliance as in the Sennelier oils. It is bound with an centuries old egg emulsion recipe, giving a satin-matt finish that is water resistant when dry. Sennelier egg tempera have working qualities and a finish that are only found in authentic egg tempera made in this traditional manner. These delicate colours hold their brush strokes, and do not change when dry. They can be worked with a brush or a palette knife (diluted with water) on non-greasy supports like acrylic primed canvas or paper. Preliminary sketches can be drawn on canvases, followed by oil paints. Pronounced impasto techniques are not recommended for egg tempera.
Varnished egg tempera paintings look like oil paintings when varnished. It is recommended to give a finished egg tempera painting a coating of charcoal or pastel fixative before applying a final oil paint picture varnish.

With Colin Kaepernick now the starter, he's going to attract attention for more than his refusal to stand during the national anthem. It took a four-game slide with Blaine Gabbert showing little at quarterback for coach Chip Kelly to make the change.
"We need to move the football offensively and that's why we made the decision to do what we were doing," Kelly says. "So, hopefully we can get a little more consistency on the offensive side of the ball and that's what I think we need."
"Critical things in third down I think have been the things that we've really tried to emphasize and work on as we get moving forward here. That's what we're hoping for and that's why we made the move."
Buffalo is hoping to keep streaking after going 3-0 since elevating Anthony Lynn to offensive coordinator

Terry Christian's seeing the funny side
5:09pm Friday 8th February 2013
By John Anson
5:09pm Friday 8th February 2013
By John Anson
HE'S an award-winning radio show presenter, been host of one of TV's most controversial programmes, was runner-up on Celebrity Big Brother and now Terry Christian is entering the world of stand-up comedy.
The self-confessed 'gobby Manc' brings his show Naked Confessions of a Recovering Catholic to two East Lancashire venues next week — Burnley Mechanics on Friday and the Thwaites Empire Theatre, Blackburn, on Saturday.
"I suppose I have a reputation for being a bit edgy," said Terry. "But a friend of mine, Johnny J, said to me 'when was the last time that you really did anything when you really put your neck on the line?' "I thought about it and realised that he was right so when a venue in Chester asked me to do a night I thought I'd try and do it in stand-up style. I've done the one-man show, talking about my career, but this is something totally different."
Terry admits that he was so drunk come the night he can't really remember what he did but that he talked for 90 minutes. That show sowed the seeds for this current dates.
"That was last April and I realised that if I wanted to do this I had to work on an act that I was happy with and which worked," he said.
"I then started going to a comedy club and doing 10 minute slots to test things out. There were nights when I died but I learned from that.
"Since then it has gone so well and I've now got a show I'm happy with and which, touch wood, hasn't bombed yet.
"A lot of it is about growing up working class and how you are perceived. It is a stand-up show but I do come back at the end for a question and answer session and people can ask me anything they like."
Terry grew up in South Manchester, close to Manchester United's Old Trafford ground.
He got a scholarship to St Bede's College — "the Manchester Grammar for Catholics" — and began a career in local radio. He was at the forefront of the Manchester music scene which produced the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays and has won two Sony Awards for his radio shows.
Terry has never been afraid to take a risk but is quick to point out his career path has been more by chance than design.
"People find it hard to believe but I have always been really shy," he said. "But I have always had this thing about authority. I always like too challenge things. I was a quiet lad but I always had my back to the wall, and even at aschool I always felt I had to justify myself "As far as my career goes, things have just happened. There has never been any great plan.
"Jonny J made me come to my senses and realise that I was just cruising along. Now I just want to get out there."
Terry Christian, Burnley Mechanics, Friday, February 15 (details 01282 664400) and Thwaites Empire Theatre, Blackburn, Saturday, February 16 (box office 01254 685500)

Peculiar results: Hawking HWU8DD rev.B and Linksys WUSB54GC v1 which were working perfectly on BT4, I couldn't get them to work in BT5
I hope this helps some of you looking for an adapter.
TP-LINK WN722N works perfectly on my BT5 vmware image.

ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed:
Device or resource busy
ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211,

Sysfs injection support was not found either.
can some one help me
I've tested my Linksys Wusb600n v2 On BT5 which has RT2870 chipset and it didn't work for me. When i run airodump-ng it can't see any networks. What am i doing wrong?
I have a TP-LINK TL-WN722N v1.8, which does not work (neither out of the box nor with the latest compat-wireless.) Still looking for a way to get it working.
Great list! How ever...
Alfa AWUS036NH you show RT2870 as the chipset. When you go to Alfa's site they show the as chipset RT3070. Are they putting new chipsets in? and does the RT3070 work just as well as the RT2870 as far as injection and detection?
Hi I have a Belkin FD8055v2 and Cisco USB600N, and neither of them work out fresh of the box. Belkin though has in ubuntu forums listed about blacklisting some modules, and downloading the drivers and recompiling(compilation fails), i have tried doing all of that on my BT5 newly installed in Oracle Virtual Box. Any pointers on how to get this going ? I can get some other adapters from the store, as long as i am guaranteed to get injection and monitoring working, basically i want to set up a soft-ap with all options WEP/WPA/Open. Any help will be deeply appreciated .

It is worth pointing out the following about Kirk Nieuwenhuis:
Following his game-winning hit to sweep the Miami Marlins on April 26 to cap a three-hit day, Nieuwenhuis had a season line of .333/.403/.517 in 67 plate appearances. He'd walked just five times and struck out 19 times, meaning that in nearly 30 percent of his appearances, he'd fanned, while his batting eye wasn't translating into many walks.
In 73 plate appearances since, Nieuwenhuis has a line of .254/.333/.302. The power has completely disappeared, while he's walked eight times and struck out 22 times. The strikeout rate is up over 30 percent now, the walk rate about the same. And the problem is that such control of the strike zone usually goes with lines closer to his second set of plate appearances than his first.
I point this out, not because Nieuwenhuis is a flash in the pan who should be quickly forgotten, but for a different reason. We conveniently forgot that when the Mets called him up, he'd played less than half a season last year at Triple-A, and that his entire body of work at even Triple-A is just 83 games. The man was rushed. Out of necessity, no doubt, but rushed just the same.
So when Jason Bay comes back, the Mets are supposed to have a roster crunch. But that assumes that Nieuwenhuis is a Met to stay, no matter what.
Might I suggest, as unpalatable as it is for anyone who has watched Bay as a Met, that as long as Jason Bay is going to get more chances to justify his enormous contract-and make no mistake, he almost certainly will-that Nieuwenhuis ought to go back to Triple-A to resume learning how to control the strike zone?
This swinging-and-missing problem isn't new. His career strikeout rate at Triple-A is just under 28 percent, which is awfully high. He has talent, but not enough power to really justify a full-time career if he can't get that under control.
So if Jason Bay is going to be given another shot anyway, it is probably for the best to see Nieuwenhuis sent back to Buffalo, rather than spot Bay, Torres and Duda from the New York bench. Hopefully, the move is a temporary one.

HOLY CRAP HE'S IN!!! He so doesn't know it but he LOVES beer and cigar's!
He made his own humidor - it's in a BIG cooler. and it's filled because we go to the cigar fest around here.
Outstanding. Tell him to bring some good stuff. I'll have a few Cuban Cohibas.
And somebody talk to the race director about getting a Designated Boobie Cigar Area. Cuz you just know we're going to annoy the sissy runners.
Buy my wife's sea catchers
I only have a cigar my blood alcohol is over 0.12... I guess that happens faster when dehydrated.
12 Monkeys
Trent, you gonna have beer on the course this year or what?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
The plan is to have beer at the halfway point for the double monkey, but only if it takes you 4 hours to finish the first 26.2 miles.

What is this madness?
Be careful saying stuff like that. Some people are stupid.
Oh Mighty Wing
I'd do it, if he'd make it official, and give out some nice mugs or something.
If you'd we'd like.
But the keg still is opened at noon.

The first thing I wondered was 'who irons his shirts?'
When Joseph Kony stepped out of the jungle and into a clearing in eastern Congo, he looked almost debonair in his smartly-pressed white suit. A small army of pint-sized soldiers trailed behind him, hair tousled into dreadlocks, feet flopping in Wellington boots. One or two even cracked a grin, but Kony's face was stone. An overlord in his forest kingdom, the rebel leader seemed unnerved by the sight of strangers.
That was in 2006. I became one of the few journalists to meet the founder of the Lord's Resistance Army during one of his sallies from the bush to engage in an ultimately futile dance of peace talks with elders from his native northern Uganda.
Having spent six months tracking him for a book I was writing, I felt a curious pang of nostalgia when I once again saw his face leering out of StopKony2012, the viral video. Read more

Law school hangout has closed; Wilbert's was an institution
Published: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 5:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 5:49 p.m.
Wilbert's has been a grocery store, a bookstore and a coffee-break spot. For 49 years, the small store at 2410 SW Second Ave. was a staple within the University of Florida's law school community.
But now Wilbert's has closed its doors.
Owner Steven Langston has been running the store since his father, Wilbert, gave it to him in 1979. About 15 years ago, he expanded to include law textbooks, which became a significant aspect of the business.
But as technology progressed and students were able to buy books online, the store slowly went out of business.
"It was an emotion thing," Steven Langston said. "It took me a while to kind of get through it."
Over the years, Langston has "reinvented the Wil" four times. He sold milk, added Xerox machines, obtained a license to sell beer and finally started selling law school materials.
Bought in 1964 by Wilbert Langston and his wife, Betty, the store initially sold meat and other groceries. At that time, there was no convenient place to eat near the law school, so Wilbert's came to be known as a haven for law students, providing hot sandwiches and coffee late into the night.
As more food and snack options became available at the law school, fewer students visited the store across the street.
Law school professor Dennis Calfee, who proudly owns a Wilbert's T-shirt, recalls his time spent at Wilbert's as a student. Wilbert was his milkman and banker --- the only person who would cash Calfee's checks from his hometown bank.
Calfee said it was common for Wilbert to lend money to students who needed help paying rent.
"It was always, 'How can I help you?' – not, 'What do you want?'" he said. "It was a real institution and a great part of the history of the law school."

This first trip south was pretty uneventful… I was new to the reality of long distance trucking, but it didn't seem like anything to worry about. It was a motor vehicle, (big I'll admit) but you just adjust to the size and take as much room as you need, and pay attention. To everything.
I was told by Jimmy to stop in DC at the DC truck stop and unload the overload on the back end of the trailer. It was the potatoes that I picked up on Long Island for Gastonia, NC. But I found a large cluster of straight trucks along the outer perimeter, and he told me to pay the free driver (he gave me the amount in cash,) to pay the driver to take my overload through Virginia to just over the NC state line where I would pickup this overload again. They actually had a guy who ran a business of carrying overloads of road drivers across the state of VA so as not to get fined.
Now this calls for a bit of explanation, because loading and load handling are a significant part of a driver's job. Each state uses the scales (you've seen them on the roadside I'm sure) but back then only NC and VA were really into weighing loads. Here's how it went.
A truck is loaded from front to rear with say a line of potato bags across the front on the floor about one rack high. The next line is two bags high, then three and four etc, til eventually it all loaded right up to the top of the large rear exterior door. A cutaway view of the trailer would show a long ramp-like structure of the product, the top of the ramp ending at the top of the door.This gives the loaders the ability to load heavily on the twin tandem axles, and light on the frontal ones. There was a max gross weight for trucks of a 42-foot body length and in those days if I recall correctly, it was max 32,000 lbs. They also allowed about 2,000 lbs over as a SOP to the carriers but IF you went over the MGW (max gross), you were fined not just the amount of the overload, but they also rescinded the allowance so that you were fined the full amount plus. These were some of the reasons that truckers carried significant amounts of cash with them.
Jimmy had a separate leather carrier on a chain that the driver carried chained to his belt. Worn in his pocket. Also the lading statements when delivering to a site. This system also held true for crates of citrus fruit as loaded by the growers. So the over loaders would parcel out the correct amount by weight, load it into one of their straight jobs, and then meet us just over the NC state line at Slim's truck terminal. Reload the rig and away we went to sunny Florida with no further ado.
It may sound more complicated than it is, but it was part of the normal routine. You learned the ropes early and totally. (If that still goes on I'm not aware of it. Nowadays you will find massive trailers some 53 feet long… max length back in those days was a 42 foot box.)
Jimmy had two Trailmobiles and two Stricks. Both are still in business if my memory serves me, but the newer Great Danes were being seen coming from the west coast…now they're very common around here.

Cydia is a latin work. Lamest lawsuit ever
I think the domain should be awarded, but Saurik should have to pay up i think.
I think cydia.com page as of now is a little ironic:
"Due to massive malicious attacks and overwhelming spam activities recently by hackers, our forum unfortunately has to be temporary suspended for major maintenance, please check back later. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Not saying Saurik had anything to do with it, but kind of a coincidence just like the PSN after they filed the lawsuit with GeoHot. Just saying.
It is my belief that they decided at some point that their website's content (which was mostly users attempting to contact an official Cydia support channel) was damning to their case to hold the domain name, so they decided to take the website down instead.
(For what it's worth, I asked my lawyer why this was included before we filed, and I was told this was standard practice in lawsuits like this. The legal fees are actually quite low, and the general hope is that stuff like this never hits courts anyway: all I really want is for the current owners to actually be willing to negotiate.)In addition to Suarik's bid for the Cydia.com domain, his company - Saurikit LLC - is seeking damages for legal fees.
Cydia is a large genus of tortrix moths, belonging to the tribe Grapholitini of subfamily Olethreutinae.
"Due to massive malicious attacks and overwhelming spam activities recently by hackers, our forum unfortunately has to be temporary suspended for major maintenance, please check back later. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Nothing personal man, but see what I'm getting at? This is hypocrisy at its best.
Why is not being said:
Record created on: 2002-12-12 11:14:04 UTC

Cykon Technology Limited has owned it since 2002. Cydia as we the user have known about it since 2007/08 for iPhone. If Jay Freeman had Cydia created long before this Hong Kong company had owned the domain then I say that Cykon should be suing Jay.
As for Jay/Saurik saying above that he just wants to negotiate and them make an offer... Are you kidding here... If I don't want to sell you something I don't have to speak to you ever. If you want to claim I owe you something because I am in this case squatting on your copyright... Are you serious?? Open and shut book in my eyes... Jay created Cydia, didn't research to see if this company would mind if he used their domain as its name... he used it anyway and now he wants to sue them to own it because they won't even speak to him. Had the domain been created at nearly the same time that Cydia showed up on the scene then I would feel otherwise.
I think its great that he wants to own it... but sue to get it because they aren't making an offer... walk away and wish you called cydia something else and bought the domain at the same time!
Are we ever going to fix the comments and post button on this new forum. I have stated many times once you log in... you only can see one comment the first comment... even if their is 20 comments. When you go to make a post the add comment button is this little tiny dot of a button that if I didn't know that was a button I wouldn't know how to reply.. and lastly having to sign out just to read any comment is unacceptable.
I am on firefox/vista/pc but if I log in Safari/vista/pc same deal.
P.S. Only 1/2 of the posts have the "read more link" most you have to click the subject to read the comments or the rest of the post. I sincerely miss the old forum and feel that the people that need to read this comment never will.
However, you cannot use that name for the restricted area of software distribution, or anywhere where users are going to get confused. For example, if you start a forum where people can discuss Apple products, with specific emphasis on the iPhone and iPad, you are going to cause users to believe that you are me: real people will (and have) be deceived by such a practice.
That's the goal of a trademark: to protect people from being deceived by third parties attempting to claim they are someone else. It does not, despite what a lot of people think, allow a company to lay claim to a word: multiple people can use the same word as their name, as long as they are in different fields such that people are unlikely to be confused by the overlap.
The issue here, then, is not that the owners of cydia.com exist, or that they own this domain name, or even that they want to use this domain name for something. The problem is that, after it became clear to everyone that Cydia was a program I made, clear enough that I was able to register a trademark on it for that specific purpose, they decided to "move in" and force an overlap.
That is simply /not ok/, and has caused a ton of people issues: I seriously receive e-mail from users claiming that they got no, useless, or incorrect advice from cydia.com, where they assumed I was running an official support forum. Of course, they obviously would not have thought that had they went to that website and found a laundromat: and that's why trademarks apply to this, despite the 2002 registration.

Producing more and earning less doesn't sound a sensible way to go, as I'm sure you'll agree. Export prices are falling but I blame gas. Which brings me to Wayne Swan, in the sense that he's always banging on about the boom in mining investment, though other thoughts did occur to me.
Did you know the three biggest projects by far, which will cost some $100 billion between them and probably more the way their costs are rising, are all about gas? In particular, liquefying it for exporting.
Apart from Origin's 37.5 per cent share of the Gladstone project, the projects are also foreign-owned, so you know where the profits won't be finishing up, though that's not my point. They use resources that might have served us better elsewhere.
My worry is there'll be a glut just as these projects start, um, letting off gas.
It's being drilled all over the place.
No wonder the price is dropping, everywhere but here that is. Somehow it's failed to flow through to the regulated domestic gas price but give it time. All right, a very long time.
China's resources minister happened to mention the other day that it'd have enough gas for the next 200 years if it could tap its shale reserves using hydraulic fracturing, which is known, not affectionately, as fracking.
What if it decides to sell LNG to neighbouring Japan, our biggest customer? Oops. Meanwhile, the US is fracking shale gas like rabbits. No market for us there and more likely a global gas glut or, as Canberra would say, a GGG.
I know it's the perfect replacement for coal or oil but there's hardly a country that isn't fracking about with gas. Qatar might have put its name on the map for hosting, or perhaps not, the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but its biggest accomplishment is being the world's biggest LNG exporter. See what I mean?
Having an investment boom so lopsided toward gas that iron ore and coal barely register poses an economic risk we could well rue one day.
And that's not counting how high it's helped push the dollar - more in anticipation of what's to come than the reality of extra production, it should be said - at a heavy cost to the other miners, not to mention the rest of industry. There's an economic rule that the same price should apply wherever something is sold after adjusting for transport costs and what-not.
It's known as purchasing power parity and comes with a complicated calculation which you're welcome to try at home - but, to save time, the dollar is 30 per cent overvalued.
Commodity prices are to blame - or thank if you're shopping online or planning a trip - except, as they're sinking, something odd has happened. Government bonds have become the unlikely lure for foreign funds and even central banks.
They can't get enough of them because they're among the select few that are AAA-rated. Hmm, there's a thought. The government could do a nice line in flogging 20- or 30-year bonds paying 3 per cent or 4 per cent interest and putting the proceeds in a higher paying term deposit.
On second thoughts, it'd just push the dollar even higher.
Mind you, it's going to have to borrow more anyway if company tax receipts keep shrinking because of a gassed-up dollar.
The same goes for the mining tax, if it ever happens. Since commodity prices are falling, made worse by a strong dollar, and mining costs are rising there's no way there'll be super profits to tax.
Remember it only applies to iron ore, nobbled by BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to the point where it's no more than a minor book-keeping nuisance, and coal where, if anything, losses are in prospect. Which suggests the government needs the dollar to lose some gas just as much as business.

Chili-Spiked Edamameby Robin Miller in Uncategorized, March 25, 2013
Edamame, or soybeans in the pod, shouldn't be relegated to date night at your local Japanese joint. With just 120 calories per serving (1/2 cup shelled or about 1 1/8 cups in the pod), edamame packs a powerful nutrient punch. In fact, it's so crammed with fiber, you'd have to eat 10 cups of chopped Romaine to get the fiber found in 1/2 cup of edamame (9 grams). The little legumes are also loaded with protein (11 grams/serving), iron (unusual for a plant food) and vitamins A and C, two very potent antioxidants. Check out my fiery way to serve them in the recipe below. I typically use the microwave-ready, steamable, frozen bags of edamame and I used those to test this recipe. Let me know what you think!
Chili-Spiked Edamame
1-pound bag frozen edamame, in the pod (green soy beans)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle chile powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Boil the edamame pods in water until tender, about 8 minutes, or follow the microwave directions on the package.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, combine the salt, chili powder, oregano, chipotle powder and garlic powder. Set the pan over medium heat and cook until the spices are hot and aromatic, about 3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently for even cooking. Add the warm edamame pods and toss to coat. Serve warm.

I am not sure if this is in the right section but here goes:
I have a wonderful little 4 month old tiel named Mumble. He is sweet and playful and we have a pretty good bond- given i have only had him 2 months but he has known me since he was just 2 weeks old. I am 13 so i go to school (of course) and then i run track after school. I have practice form 3-5 monday through wednesday and meets on thursdays that can (and do) run until as late as 11pm. I feel that my baby doesn't get enough interaction time sometimes. He usually gets between 30 minutes to an hour and on fridays and weekends at least 2 hours. I hate him just sitting in his cage all by himself all the time and was wondering if I should get another tiel. I dont only want another tiel just to keep him company though. I wanted to know what you guys thought and about any of your experiences. And i am planning on building a big cage for Mumble eventually with my dad so i would have room after quarantine and introductions. PLEASE help me! I am at a major crossroad and would LOVE some kind words of wisdom. And I would like some advice about helping with my situation other than a new feathered companion.

Among a host of news at the recent Drinktec show in Germany was a half-liter PET bottle for still water, weighing only 7.5 g, 31.5% less than typical bottles on the market, though it can withstand nitrogen filling. This EvoLight bottle was developed by P.E.T. Engineering of San Vendemiano, Italy, a specialist in design and development of PET containers.
P.E.T. Engineering had support from Husky Injection Molding Systems, Bolton, Ont., and used Husky's new 26/22 neck finish with a weight of 1.91 g, plus P.E.T. Engineering's own Swerve Neck and Sunbase designs. It also used X_Treme PET resin from Novapet of Zaragoza, Spain, to achieve the right balance of lightweighting and visual appearance.
The EvoLight design is also used in a 1.5L format, weighing only 18.9 g for still water and 22.5 g for sparkling. Both can use the Husky 26/22 neck finish.
On the other end of the size scale from the EvoLight 0.5L is the Powerblock 3.0, said to be the industry's lightest 64-oz, hot-fill PET bottle. It was introduced in February by Amcor Rigid Plastics. It weighs 59 g, 13.2% less than the typical 68 g bottle of this size. It has a 38-mm finish, much lighter than the standard 43-mm finish for 64-oz PET bottles.

England's batsmen enjoyed a productive day as they posted 325 for four in the first one-day international against India at Rajkot.
After losing both warm-up matches, openers Ian Bell (85) and Alastair Cook (75) calmed any nerves with a carefree stand of 158 - England's highest opening partnership against India.
Kevin Pietersen, playing an ODI for the first time in 11 months after returning from retirement, added 44 and Samit Patel hit a brisk 44 not out at the end - but there was no chance for debutant Joe Root, who was unused at number seven.
Bell got England going with nine off Ishant Sharma's opening over, steering a short ball down to third man for the first boundary of the day then picking up four overthrows on a quick single.
He cut Bhuvneshwar Kumar for four more but the bowler almost had his revenge when he found the edge, only to see the ball fly between wicketkeeper and slip. That was a rare early win for the bowlers, Cook joining in the fun with three boundaries off Sharma's third over.
Bell brought up his half-century in 60 balls with a reverse sweep of Ravindra Jadeja, while Cook looked increasingly fluent at the other end. He reached his own 50 at exactly a run-a-ball and hit his first six down the ground with a confident strike off Ravichandran Ashwin.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni turned next to Suresh Raina and, improbably, the occasional bowler had a hand in removing both batsmen. First Bell was run out for 85 by Ajinkya Rahane after Cook had turned Raina round the corner, and Cook also failed to convert what had seemed an inevitable hundred after top-edging Raina to short fine leg.
That double strike brought Pietersen and Eoin Morgan together and the pair were forced to take the batting powerplay despite not being fully set. But it was a productive period for England, who scored 44 runs without further loss in the five-over spell.
Ashok Dinda ended the partnership when he managed to cling on to a tough caught and bowled chance, sending Morgan back for 41. He also accounted for Pietersen, who lofted to long-off with 44 to his name.
The need for quick runs saw Craig Kieswetter and Patel sent in ahead of Root, and the pair did their job with some clean hitting at the close. They put on an unbeaten 70 in 6.1 overs, Kieswetter (24 not out) hitting two sixes and Patel peppering the boundary on his way to an unbeaten 44 in 20 balls.

HOUSTON - Cellphone store owners said Thursday that they feel that their lives are increasingly at risk.
Gunmen have robbed about 20 stores in Houston since the first of the year. Store owners said the robberies are becoming more and more violent.
After a decade in the cellphone store business, Sunny Mohammed said he is applying for a permit to carry a gun. His store was robbed last week.
"Sunday it happened here, Monday it happened on Almeda," Mohammed said. "Another robbery happened 30 minutes after that – killed a guy at the Boost mobile store on Telephone. If my co-workers hear it, they don't even want to come to work."
Mohammed said the combination of an increase in frequency and an increase in violence has him scared for his life.
"They don't care if they kill somebody," he said.
Mohammed said that in addition to getting a gun, he's getting better security cameras and additional panic alarm buttons in his stores.
"It seems we may have a spike in these type of robberies," Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland said.
McClelland said HPD is forming a special task force to go after cellphone store robbers.
"We have the FBI working with us to solve some of these crimes," McClelland said.
McClelland said cellphone store owners can do some things to deter crimes, like install high-quality cameras inside and outside of their stores.
Houston police said about 110 cellphone stores were robbed in 2012.

8 Great Holiday Gifts For Men
Still need gifts for the men in your life? From your sweetheart to your dad, we've got you covered!
-Lennie Ross
It's that time of year again. The time women everywhere bite their nails wondering what to get their guy for the holidays. It starts when we're young. We have no idea what to buy our fathers. They always say, "I don't need anything," which I have learned over time is just their way of trying to take the pressure off.
Truth be told, fathers do like getting gifts, but they are so difficult to buy for, so they're often stuck with practical gifts like tube socks, underwear, ties, cologne and soap on the rope. I remember when I was about seven years old I made my brother a pair of sunglasses from red and green cellophane and black construction paper. I'm sure he really appreciated those!
Every man is different, so there's no such thing as the perfect gift. The most important thing is that you put a little thought into it. If you really want to show the man you're dating that you care, and even your father for that matter, here are a few awesome gift ideas that the men in your life are sure to enjoy:
1. Kindle Fire
Whether it's the sports section, biographies or Stephen King's latest masterpiece, most men like to read. The new Kindle Fire with full color 7" Multi-Touch display and Wifi is only $199 and was released just in time for the holidays. If that doesn't fit your budget, or is simply too much flash, try a Kindle Touch for only $99.
2. Video Games
Sony's Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception is the latest, hottest video game out on Playstation 3 and is only $54.99 on Amazon, and the reviews are awesome. Equal parts action movie and romantic comedy, Uncharted 3 is akin to playing a top-tier Hollywood blockbuster movie. Even girls who hate video games like watching men play this game, so it's a win-win.

3. Star Wars Collection
Starring 1970's heartthrob Mark Hamill (I know, what ever happened to him?) and Harrison Ford, and directed by George Lucas, the original Star Wars trilogy on Blu-ray is a collection every man will be proud to own. And, it's only $39.99 on Amazon. If you really want to blow his mind—that is, if he's not a purist—get him the Complete Saga for $86.99
4. Anything Apple
Even if your man is a PC user, he'll love anything from Apple for it's sleek design, light weight and easy-to-use technology. There's virtually no learning curve to the legacy of products Steve Jobs inspired. Even an iTunes gift card as a stocking stuffer is a great idea for music and movie downloads, but I'd recommend the iPad 2 with 64 gigs of ram, Wifi and 3G for $829. That is, if you really want to say "I love you."
More great gifts for guys, including one incredible splurge, up next!

It's official: Filmmaker (and Dallas Voice video contributor) Israel Luna has gotten the financing (and even international distribution) in place for his new film, Kicking Zombie Ass for Jesus. The unofficial second installment in a proposed trilogy of satires that send-up traditional exploitation films but add a gay/transgender element, it concerns drag queens standing up against the zombie apocalypse armed only with their pumps and pump-action shotguns and a badass attitude.
The film will begin shooting on Oct. 7 and continue through most of the month in small towns around the state, including Graham, Eliasville, Olney and Mergerel. Luna describes it as "pro-Christian, pro-spirituality and pro-equality." It will — as did his transpoitational grindhouse film Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives — feature a cast of drag divas, including RuPaul's Drag Racer Willam Belli.

Beauty & Personal Care
I ordered Sheepskin boots from New Zealand Nature recently and the quality is excellent and the fit was great - my US size of 13 was matched very well by their size '12', just as their guidelines indicated. Shipping was part of the price and I got them from New Zealand without a hitch, contrary to my concern about the reliability of international parcel post.
I was looking for sheepskin boots made locally in New Zealand or Australia. The Australian company I bought from before moved manufacturing to China. Not to disparage Chinese-made in general but the quality of my last sheepskin boots was inferior to what it was when they were made where the sheepskin is produced. The quality was poorer but the price hadn't fallen any!
I must admit I was somewhat hesitant about ordering things outside the U.S. It was a pleasure dealing with you. I definitely will be ordering from you again in the near future.

Taste Test: Gluten-Free Breadsby Dana Angelo White in Gluten-Free, Taste Test, April 6, 2012
The gluten-free phenomenon has lead to dozens of new products on store shelves. Breads and baked goods are some of the hardest foods to make tasty and sans gluten. We polled our readers and took their favorite brands for a test drive.
The Criteria
For this taste test, we rated breads based on taste, texture, nutrition and cost. Each variety was rated on a 5-point scale (5 being the highest). Gluten-free breads are famously higher in calories so we tried hard to find some smart and tasty options. Most of the brands recommended toasting for best taste –this was definitely the preferable way for just about all of the options.
Food for Life – Millet Bread
Rating: 3.5
Cost: $5.99
Nutrition Info (per slice): 100 calories; 21 grams carbohydrates; 0.5 gram fiber
Our Take: The millet gave this bread a pleasant nutty and sweet flavor. While many GF breads are dry and crumbly, this was almost too chewy. The slices are tiny and overall, not worth the price.
Food for Life – White Rice Bread
Rating: 3.5
Cost: $5.99
Nutrition Info (per slice): 110 calories; 22 grams carbohydrates; 0.5 gram fiber
Our Take: Another small and overly chewy bread. The white rice did make for a slightly lighter consistency and subtly sweet flavor. The ingredient list was plain and simple (a good thing). This option would be best toasted with jam.
Udi's Whole Grain Loaf
Rating: 5
Cost: $ 4.99
Nutrition Info (per slice): 75 calories; 12 grams carbohydrates; 0.5 gram fiber
Our Take: A favorite from our Facebook fans, this bread lived up to the hype. Made from brown rice flour and potato and tapioca starches, this dairy, nut and soy-free option uses egg whites for texture and evaporated cane juice for sweetness. This was the only option that really tasted good without being toasted. A great choice for sandwiches or even French toast.
Whole Foods Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread
Rating: 4
Cost: $6.99
Nutrition Info (per slice): 150 calories; 24 grams carbohydrates; 0 grams fiber
Our Take: Made from rice, tapioca, eggs and milk, this bread tasted great toasted. It was moist, sweet and dense – reminiscent of a thin slice savory pound cake. One slice for breakfast might be as far as you should go – especially for 150 calories per tiny slice.
Genius by Glutino White Sandwich Bread
Rating: 4.5
Cost: $4.99
Nutrition Info (per slice): 80 calories; 11 grams carbohydrates; less than 1 grams fiber
Our Take: This bread was made from a similar combo of ingredients — potato, rice, tapioca and egg whites. It had good flavor but was dryer than the Udi's brand. It was still a solid option overall.
Tell Us: What other gluten-free products should we test?

Linearly Polarized (LP) modes

Linearly Polarized (LP) modes
Hi all,
I'm willing to calculate linearly polarized modes, that is, modes with
only four non-zero components and azimuthal symmetry in a multimode
optical fiber (see for example www.rp-photonics.com/lp_modes.html ).
By using the mode analysis study I get to compute the first two LP0m
modes (I'm specially interested in modes LP01, LP02, LP03....).
Although, I have to compute more than 10 modes to get LP01 and LP02
modes. I have incremented drastically the number of modes computed but
I'm not able to get to the LP03 mode.
I wonder if there is a way I can "force" the results to have (for
example) Ex=0 and Hy=0 ?
Or even better, to force the resulting fields to have azimuthal symmetry?
A suggestion from the support staff is to restrict to a subset of solutions modeling a slice of the fiber's cross section (see file attached). Unfortunately, with this approach I'm only able to reproduce doughnut type fields (mixtures of TEM modes), but not the LP modes I'm looking for.
As you can see all the solutions have null electric field at the center of the fiber, while LP01, LP02 and LP03 have a maximum field at that point.
Thanks in advance.

Compare great Porsche Engine Balancing and Remapping prices in Hackney with Who Can Fix My Car.
Excellent experience thank you
Everything was fine
Did a great job with the bodywork repair and confirmed with me before carrying out any work
Great price great work I'll definitely be going back when the next job comes up
One star because you did not write the report I asked and you don't respond to my messages.
Samet has been very professional and has fixed the problem very quickly and at the right price. Will use his services again. Thanks
The work itself was really excellent, however i guess this is the problem with a lot of local garages, there isn't a lot of paper work involved. My piece of advice would be to put a bit more confidence in customers- so let us know who is picking up the car and where it's going. However like I said the work itself was great!
Really nice guys. Well happy with the work

Classic Shot Loadable Dumbbell: Medium
Progressive Resistance Training
Thoughout the history of Physical Culture, the dumbbell has been heralded as the ultimate training tool. Shot Loaded Dumbbells combine all the benefits of the dumbbell training concept with the best of Progressive Resistance Training, the micro loading theory.
Micro Loading Grains of Shot is your
Juggernaut to Power!
Plate loaded adjustable dumbbells are great. However, they change shape every time to change the weight. Soon enough, they become very long and unmanagable. Your Shot Loading Dumbbell does not change shape when you add weight. Because it does not change shape as you add weight, you can keep working the same range of motion regardless of the weight you are lifting. I like plate loading dumbbells, but I find it really annoying when the bar path and range of motion has to change, just as I got strong enough to add some weight. That problem is not an issue with a shot loaded piece of equipment.
The Shot Loaded Dumbbell became the weapon of choice for strength training proponents in the early 20th Century, with the advent of the MILO Bar Bell Company. Before Alan Calvert started the MILO Bar Bell Company, the vast majority of iron and steel strength training equipment came from Europe, and primarily Germany.
MILO had many different designs for promoting progressive resistance training, but the classic globe bell was always the signature style. On the collectors market, classic originals can go for thousands of dollars. Now is your chance to get a brand new, all steel globe type dumbbell.
I grew up lifting on a classic MILO Tri-Plex which was originally purchased by my Great Grandfather Jackson in 1919. I am lucky. Now you and your children...and grand children can get the benefits of a shot loaded dumbbell, like I did.
The Dumbbell shown in the photo has a 1 1/2 inch diameter handle, and Traditional Gloss Black Paint, the second photo with the metallic candy coat lime green was a custom paint job for professional performing strongman Jeff "T-Rex" Bankens. If you want a custom paint job, then you must TALK to Roger on the phone (419)352-5100. Do NOT e-mail your custom question. Each custom paint job is quoted individually. All of our shot loaded dumbbells are made to order, regardless of paint color, and require a 4-6 week lead time, after payment. It is NOT an order unless we have been paid. Yes, this policy is based on past experience.
While these are not calibrated, they weigh about 45 - 50 pounds each. Depending on the type of shot you use, there should be no problem loading it up to 175 pounds.
