Olympic woe for Reds
Liverpool are set to hold talks with Javier Mascherano over the midfielder's summer plans.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 29/05/08 3:24pm
Liverpool are set to hold talks with Javier Mascherano over the midfielder's summer plans.
Argentina are keen to include the 23-year-old as an over-age member of their Beijing Olympic squad, but his club are reluctant to let him go.
Rafa Bentiez is already resigned to losing Lucas Leiva and Sebastian Leto to the tournament, as at 21 the pair fall inside the criteria laid down for entry into the competition.
However, with the event scheduled to run from 8th-24th August any English-based players will be forced to miss the start of the Premier League season which gets under way on 16th August.
Benitez is understandably keen to avoid seeing three members of his first-team unit head to China and will be discussing the situation with those involved in the coming weeks.
"This is a very difficult situation for us because we have Lucas, who is eligible through his age with Brazil, and Mascherano, who can play for Argentina as an overage player, so I need to discuss his position with him," said the Liverpool boss.
"We have some time so we need to wait and we will try to find a solution with Mascherano that will be the best for the club and the best for the player.
"It is a difficult situation because if the countries want the best players to take part they have to go to the professional clubs.
"But from our point of view, we have to manage the situation as well as we can."

Accessories are an essential piece to any outfit. One of my favorite accessories is the multi-use scarf. Love it in all materials! This week alone I bought 2 scarves! And as I was perusing my fave blogs, I came across a few outfit posts where they accessorized with a scarf. Yes, I know it's summer, but you can still wear them! Just make sure to stay away from the heavy materials like 100% pure wool and cashmere. I tend to lean towards the silk, cotton, and linen. FYI…I want these!
I love thrifting scarves too! They are really inexpensive and can be used in so many different ways. Have you run out of ways to wear your favorite scarf? I found this cool article from Refinery 29 "4 New Ways to Wear a Scarf." Click on the image for detailsl.
So, what do you think about accessorizing with a scarf this summer?

The Sos hand repair cream comes in a few different types, I am reviewing the shea butter cream for dry to extra dry hands.
This product claims to leave skin feeling softer, more supple and relieve dryness. It also claims to stay moisturised after washing. The product contains shea butter and l bifidus and is supposed to be non greasy and fast absorbing.
I purchased this hand cream in my local Boots store, it is also available in Superdrug and similar stores but also some supermarkets. It retails at around £2.99 but i purchased it on a half price offer. The tube is a 100ml tube.
The product itself is quite thick, a little goes a long way, however as it claims, it is fast absorbing and leaves hands non greasy. After applying my hands instantly felt softer and more supple and moisturised. This feeling lasted a few hours and even lasted after washing my hands with soap.
After a week of use my hands still felt softer and moisturised eventhough i hadnt been applying it as often.
As for fragrance the product doesnt smell like shea butter as you would have expected, instead it smells clean and fresh which is pleasant and not overpowering at all like some other butter enriched hand creams.
The only thing i would say is i used this cream once when my hands had gotten extremely dry, worse than they had ever been before, and it actually stung my skin. That was a one off though but i would bear that in mind if your skin is very dry and prone to cracking.
Otherwise this product is very effective, smells lovely, is cheap and leaves hands feeling soft and moisturised after the first application.
This stuff is fantastic and does everything claimed on the tube!
I get very dry hands and cracked knuckles, especially in the winter. I've tried lots of different types of hand cream, but this is the first that genuinely feels like it continues to moisturise even after a hand wash or two.
It's a non-greasy, easily absorbed formula, enriched with shea butter and L-Bifidus, the latter of which is, according to the packaging, 'an anti-evaporation active' - I'm assuming this is the ingredient which helps maintain hydration even after you wash your hands.
The cream is absorbed within seconds of application and doesn't leave a greasy feeling on the hands, just smooth, soft feeling skin. A little goes a long way. And, although it is described as improving skin within 7-days of use, I have to admit that I noticed a difference, at least a short-term one, after the first application.
Another benefit of this product is that it is hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. This suggests that is is suitable for most people with sensitive skin and allergy issues.
I keep a tube of this SOS-Repair Hand Cream by the kitchen sink. Not only does it hydrate skin after washing, I find it works as an effective barrier when applied before doing the washing-up.
I purchased my current tube at the beginning of last summer (it's now the last week of January) and, despite using it regularly, it's still going strong. As I mentioned above, you only need apply a teeny amount to get the full benefit, and so it's a very economical hand cream to purchase. I believe the 100ml tube cost under £3 from Wilkinsons - not the cheapest on the market, but hardly expensive, especially given how i) effective it is; and ii) how long the tube has lasted.
I have probably got more than five tubes of hand cream scattered in the house. Probably one in the organiser bag inside my hand bag, another one in the bath room, one in the bed room near the dressing table, and one next to my laptop, in front of the telly. So, yes, I am using a lot of hand cream, and this particular product is probably one of my favourite.
This is what I love about this hand cream:
- It does not feel sticky or oily because the cream would quickly be absorbed by the skin
- It leaves the skin feel smooth right after the first application, I think it lives up to its claim as an SOS-Repair, for a quick dry skin fix
- With regular usage, it does improve the skin condition. Honestly, I did not pay too much attention to how long it actually improved mine, but it said it could reduce dryness after 7 days
I am feeling a little bit unsure about the perfume. I have to admit it is a really nice smell, but I would rather have it unscented. I am a little bit fussy about this one. However, I kind of overlook this because the hand cream does its job, and I don't think it is affected by the perfume. Or, if it would make you feel better, at least it does not contain colourant.
I definitely would recommend this hand cream, but I might want to try something without perfume in the future.

The Product
= = = = = =
The product I am reviewing is an Intensive 7 day Hand Cream from Garnier. This is a non-greasy cream with L-Bifidus & Shea Butter to instantly leave hands feeling soft, protected and nourished with moisture. Hands apparently stay hydrated even after using a hand wash. Although Garnier have a few different Intensive 7 Day Hand Creams I chose this one which is the SOS-Repair cream as at the moment my hands are very dry. L-Bifidus helps to hydrate your hands and the Shea Butter relieves tightness and repairs extra-dry, cracked hands. As this hand cream is suitable for sensitive skin and has been dermatologically tested it means that it would be great for my skin which is often more sensitive during the winter and colder months. I currently have very dry hands which are probably not only from the cold but from the gym. I do a fair bit of weight training and have to use chalk on my hands sometimes which can dry my hands out. I have tried many different hand creams in the past and some work a lot better than others.
Whilst I was in my local Boots store buying essential items, I decided to look at their hand cream to see what they had. Although I have heard of this product I have never tried it before and as it was on offer I thought I would give it a go. The hand cream comes in a tube, which what I would call a mint green colour. I like the colour of the tube as it stands out from the other hand creams on the shelf. On the front it clearly states that it's by Garnier and it also states that the product is new. I am unsure how long this product has been out but I think it's been around for at least a year or a bit less. It also states on the front of the cream that this is the SOS-Repair hand cream for dry to extra-dry hands. It claims that this is fast absorbing and hypoallergenic. On the back of the tube it gives you some information about the cream and how it works and it also tells you the percentage of the woman who found this cream improved the condition of their hands. A list of ingredients is also on the back of the tube. The tube stands on its lid which is white in colour and this flips back to reveal a small hole in which the cream dispenses out of. As the tube is plastic it means the tube can be squeezed easily to dispense the product into your hands.

I purchased a 100ml tube of this cream from my local Boots store for £1.99 as it was on offer. The full price of this cream is actually £2.99 and it can be purchased from Boots, Superdrug and some supermarkets as well. The hand cream also comes in:
* Aloe Vera (Protecting Hand Cream)
* Honey (Soothing Hand Cream)
* Mango (Nourishing Hand Cream)

Using the Product
= = = = = = = = =
You can use the hand cream as often as you feel needed. The cream is not suitable for application on the face. I flipped open the tube and ensuring I had a good grip of the tube; I gently squeezed it so some of the cream dispensed into the palm of my other hand. The tube has a smooth finish to it and is easy to hold and squeeze. I didn't dispense too much of the cream as you can't put any left-over cream back into the tube again. The cream came out easily and was white in colour but had a slight glossy appearance to it as well. I rubbed the cream gently into my hands ensuring that I got between the fingers and on specific dry areas on my hand. The cream wasn't too thick and had a lovely smooth consistency to it which made it easy to rub into my hands. The cream felt slightly cooling as well which was nice. As I rubbed the cream into my hands I could smell the scent of the cream which wasn't what I expected it to be. I expected the scent to smell slightly of Shea butter, how-ever the cream had a gorgeous fresh fragrance to it and reminded me a little of the Garnier After Sun Melon Sorbet that I purchased earlier in the year. I really liked the smell and thought it was really refreshing. I didn't need to apply any more hand cream as the amount I dispensed was a good enough amount for me to rub into both hands. With this hand cream, I find that a little goes a long way so you only need to use a little with each application.

After applying the cream my hands instantly felt hydrated and looked moisturised. The cream didn't leave a greasy residue on my hands and I found that it soaked in quickly to reveal soft hand, even after first application. Although the cream felt moisturising, I did apply the cream a few more times during the day. I did wash my hands with some hand soap on a few occasions during the day and even after doing this my hands still felt moisturised which I was impressed with. After using this cream regularly for 2-3 days my hands were not only feeling much softer but were looking better as well. The dry patch of flaky skin which I had on one finger was now reduced and was no longer itchy or looking red. I was definitely going to continue using this cream and see how my hands were in 7 days. After using the cream regularly for 7 days and going about my week as normal I was impressed with the results. The weather has been rather cold here which is what makes my hands dry in the first place. With regular use of this cream daily my hands have stayed looking and feeling great. They no longer looked dry and there were no flaky patches of skin. The dry patch of skin which I originally had still felt a little scaly but the appearance and feel of the skin had definitely improved. I was impressed by this as although this product does claim to moisturise I didn't expect it to be as good as this.
= = = = = = = = = =
Overall Opinion
= = = = = = = = = =
I wasn't really sure what to expect from this product as although I have used Garnier products in the past and have been impressed with them, I have never used a hand cream by them before. My hands do tend to get very dry from the cold and chalk from weight training so I need to moisturise them on a regular basis. This cream is perfect as it's non-greasy and soaks into my hands easily without leaving any kind of residue. As soon as I have applied the cream my hands instantly feel and look moisturised. I love the scent of the cream as I find it really refreshing and clean. The scent of the cream did stay on my hands for a good amount of time before eventually fading away. I find that you only need a little of the cream with each application which is good as it means it will last slightly longer than other creams. As the product comes in a plastic tube it's perfect for keeping in my bag so I can apply it whenever and wherever I need to. I was surprised to see such good results so quickly as I thought it may take a few days to notice any real difference to the condition of my hands. In terms of value I think the product is very reasonable as you get a good amount in the tube and it definitely lives up to its claims of moisturising your hands, especially very dry hands. This hand cream is currently my favourite and I will definitely be purchasing it again.

I've been a student nurse for 3 years and working on the wards using alcohol gel and antibacterial hand washes has really taken it's toll on my hands, making my hands look like an old lady's! I've tried everything from the Norwegian range to Vaseline but found them all too greasy and I need something that absorbs quickly so I can apply it quickly and carry on with my work. Normally I used Hand Food from the Soap & Glory range but it's too expensive for me to keep purchasing (I use a lot of hand cream in a shift and a student nurse bursary only goes so far!) so when I came across the Garnier Intensive 7 Days SOS hand cream at £1.59 at savers I jumped at the chance to give it a try.
I haven't tried a lot of Garnier products as they're either too expensive or too harsh for my fair skin, but at such a reasonable price I purchased the hand cream & I'm incredibly glad I did. A problem I find with hand creams is that they're either too thin to provide my hands with a soothing nourishment or they're far too thick and greasy & I have to wipe my hands to prevent leaving residue on things like papers I'm writing on. Upon the first application of the Garnier hand cream my hands and nails absorbed the product instantly & I was surprised at how soft my hands felt almost instantly. Being quite skeptical of the 'placebo effect' of first using products I used it about 5 times each shift for about a week & noticed a significant difference in my hands with appearance and touch. My skin feels supple and soft, and before my hands were very sensitive to hot and cold weather they now feel healthier & I no longer feel uncomfortable.
As stated previously the product absorbed almost instantly & the scent is very luxurious but not overpowering. Garnier Intensive 7 Days does exactly what it says on the tin, after a week my hands no longer chapped at the end of the day & all the redness had practically disappeared. The packaging is very convenient & fits into the pockets of my uniform easily & also takes up very little space in my bag. Since searching for a long time for an effective & nourishing hand cream, Garnier Intensive 7 Days SOS hand cream has been a life saver for me & I recommend it to all my fellow colleagues & also see it as a necessity since the cold weather is on it's way in!
I feel that the only disadvantage to the product is the shaping of the bottle, when there is little product left you have to squeeze the bottle inwards to encourage the product out into your hand which contorts the bottle leaving it creased & unattractive. But that's pretty much about it!
I get problems with my hands every summer. The skin on my fingertips peels and I get a aterrible itchy rash that makes my fingertips feel like they're on fire! I get a a cream prescribed from my Doctor for this. It flared up again about a month or so ago and I used the cream and it cleared up and has stayed clear but I've been left with extremely dry hands. My finger tips are so wrinkly they look like I've had my hands in water! I've never experienced this before and am not happy with any wrinkles anywhere! I've just started noticing loads of grey hairs so wrinkly hands on top has really made me feel down. I hate seeing the signs of aging creeping in. I figured I needed to get a decent hand cream that was really going to put the moisture back into my hands and soften them and improve the deep wrinkles on my fingertips. I had a browse while I was shopping in Sainsburys and decided on Garnier Hand Intensive Hand Cream.
This hand cream comes in a 100ml stand up plastic tube exactly as shown in the picture here. It has a flip top lid on the bottom. I was immediately drawn to this because of the packaging. It says everything I want in a hand cream on the front so I could make my decision without even having to read all the small print on the back. It says it's an Intensive 7 days hand cream. SOS-Repair which is definitely what I needed and it promises that skin is still hydrated after washing. Something that I've found recently is that when I have a bath my hands wrinkle a lot quicker than they did before in the water and they feel so tight and dry. This hand cream comes in 4 varieties either Shea Butter hand milk which states is SOS-Repair and is for dry to extra dry hands. Aloe hand milk which is protecting for normal to dry hands Honey hand milk which is soothing for dry delicate hands or Mango which is nourishing for dry rough hands. All contain L-Bifidus and state they are fast absorbing. I went for the Shea Butter SOS-Repair.
On the back of the Shea Butter cream it says that if you have dry to extra dry hands and are looking for intensive daily care then this is the cream for you. Garnier state that it's ultra hydrating formula is enriched with L-Bifidus an anti evaporation active, and Shea Butter to leave even extra-dry hands feeling soft and ultra-nourished with moisture. They also state it's a non greasy and non sticky fast absorbing formula. That also attracted me because I hate applying a hand cream then having greasy hands for ages while it absorbs because you can't get on with things with slippery greasy hands.
Garnier lists the creams effective results on the back:
- 100% of women found their skin felt softer
- 98% of women found their skin was more supple
- After 7 days dryness -29%
Hydration so intense, that skin still stays hydrated even after 1 hand wash.
It's enriched with naturally-derived ingredients is dermatologically tested, colourant free and suitable for sensitive skin.
Everything sounded perfect and just what my hands needed and at just £2.99 it's an excellent price. This cream itself is white and has a nice thick consistency to it. It smells nice and fresh and you can definitely smell the Shea Butter. When I applied it I literally felt like my hands were drinking it up! It absorbed very very quickly compared to other hand creams I've used in the past and left the backs of my hands feeling nice and soft and looking a lot healthier. I've used it now for about 3 weeks but it's done nothing for the palms of my hands or my finger tips which are the problem areas. They are still very dry and my fingertips are still wrinkled like they've been in water so I'm quite disappointed. The backs of my hands are lovely and soft and the skin looks a lot better. Overall I'm very disappointed in this cream. It doesn't feel intensive at all to be honest. It's just like any regular hand cream. It doesn't live up to it's name of SOS-Repair and I wouldn't buy it again because it just hasn't given my hands the hydration that they need. I'll be trying something else instead.
Available in Boots and Superdrug and most supermarkets priced at a very cheap £2.99 for 100ml
Is this SOS-Repair Hand Cream right for me? / Yes, if you have dry to extra dry hands and are looking for an intensive daily care / How does it work? / Its ultra-hydrating formula is enriched with L-Bifidus, and anti-evaporation active and Shea Butter,to leave even extra-dry hands feeling soft and ultra-nourished with moisture / Non-greasy and non sticky formula / Fast absorbing.

Seal still makes wife of six years Heidi Klum weak in the knees.
"He's the most charming, loving, fun, gentlemanly, inspirational man I could have wished for," Klum, 37, says in the new issue of Good Housekeeping. "He always makes me feel I'm the only woman in the world."
Even with four kids -- Leni, 7, Henry, 5, Johan, 4, and Lou, 18 months -- the supermodel and the singer, 47, carve out couple time. "We may be parents but we still make time to be a couple," she adds. "We'll go shopping together. The kids think that's the most boring thing on the planet....we like to have fun with each other." They also renew their vows each year with themed ceremonies, including a hillbilly motif complete with mullets (him) and cornrows (her) in 2009.
Yet, Klum admits, the pair are far from perfect. Her Brit-born hubby hates the way she makes tea. "The water can never be hot enough for him, and only when the tea is just the right color can you add the milk," she laughed. "Maybe when I'm 80, I'll be allowed to make it."

Does that mean, preupgrade to rawhide will bring in the f12 packages? If so, there is a major issue with anaconda that crashes upon detecting the harddrives. This is a little bit troubling since I have nothing exotic here, just two sata hds. I saved the debug report, but without storage I probably saved it to a ram disk. If anyone can help me figuring out how to get a stacktrace to a running machine (except for pen&paper), I would be able to bring up some valuable information about that crash. regards christoph

Skillzbeatz [Prolific Profile]
Vancouver, B.C. – Skillzbeatz finds his second home in Vancouver, but is based in the UK where he works with a variety of artists and styles. He was recently in town to collab with local artists Defenders of the Faith, and HipHopCanada got some words from the up and coming producer.
HipHopCanada: How do you define hip-hop, and where do you feel you fit into that definition?
Skillzbeatz: To define hip-hop would be to define a way of life, many people outside of hip-hop just see it as another form of music but it is way more than that, those of us involved live it, I feel I fit into it perfectly because even without the career I would never stop doing what I do, first and foremost I do this for the love of the music.
HipHopCanada: What drives you to stay in a business that is rarely profitable and highly competitive?
Skillzbeatz: It depends on how you define profitable, sometimes I get contacted by an artist that I grew up listening to and the buzz you get from that outweighs any money they could give me, that to me is another form of profit. Regarding competitiveness I know I work harder than most of the competition so that doesn't worry me.
HipHopCanada: Where are you based specifically?
Skillzbeatz: I am based in London, United Kingdom but my second home is in Vancouver.
HipHopCanada: How has living there influenced your sound?
Skillzbeatz: London is such a diverse and multicultural city that the influences spread far and wide, we have very different musical scenes here which I draw from, also we have the majority of the world bring their music here i.e from the USA/Canada so im also heavily influenced by North American hip-hop too.
HipHopCanada: Who is your primary fan base?
Skillzbeatz: My primary fanbase would actually be in the USA. I've worked heavily with US artists for a while now so a lot of my attention comes from their fanbases. Reason being that my style of music is more suited to North American style hip-hop as opposed to the UK scene. Having said that, I'm now partner to UK rap legend Kruga and since then the UK scene has really got with team Skillzbeatz.
HipHopCanada: What tips would you give young artists coming up, or what do you wish someone would have told you when you first started out in the hip-hop industry?
Skillzbeatz: Well, its a bit of a cliché but just be yourself. Everytime there is a new hot mainstream artist, along come a hundred thousand clones. What they don't see is that the artist has been done so there is no call for another, just be yourself and work harder than the rest.
HipHopCanada: In which ways do you interact with your community?
Skillzbeatz: I use the usual online mediums of Twitter, Facebook, MySpace & Reverbnation, but also at shows and on the street, I'm very approachable.
HipHopCanada: Which artists have you worked with that left an impression on you, and why?
Skillzbeatz: There are a few for different reasons but I'd have to say my man Doitall from Lords of the Underground. For someone of his success to still be so humble and down to earth is fantastic. Most of all though, I'd have to say my partner Kruga. Again, the same reasons as above but, added to that, we are not only colleagues but good friends too.
HipHopCanada: Which Canadian artist would you most like to collaborate with?
Skillzbeatz: I'd have to say at this point in time Drake as he has reached superstardom, but I am currently working with Defenders of the Faith's Checkmate and Concise which was a personal goal.
HipHopCanada: Tell us about past and present successes, as well as future projects?
Skillzbeatz: There's a lot going on right now actually. Myself and Kruga are working on his next mixtape followed by album at the end of the year. Between both we have collaborations with Defenders of the Faith and also Jigz Crillz, from Canada. From the US we have tracks with Doitall (L.O.T.U.G), Erick Sermon (E.P.M.D.) plus others. From the UK we have tracks with Sway and arguably the world's biggest Drum & Bass MC, MC Skibadee. We're in talks with almost the whole UK scene.
We have also just launched our company Gridlock Music and this week we started promo on Kruga's official single "Shake it" which features California rising star iamCAM. We also have the video releasing in two weeks (available below) which was shot in Miami, Barbados and London. DJs worldwide have been going crazy for it… it's such a big track for the clubs so I ask the readers to request it wherever they can. We will actually be in Vancouver in the fall involved in a big show, details coming soon. If there are any promoters that want to book us contact email@example.com.
HipHopCanada: Any last words for the HipHopCanada online community?
Skillzbeatz: I feel Canada doesn't get the recognition it deserves on the world market and as Canada has a special place in my heart, I want to do what I can to bring it to the forefront. I'm a humble guy with big connections and I'm very reachable. So for any Canadian artists that want involvement in what we are doing, follow me on Twitter and get in contact. I do reply.

These two previously previewed Nike All Court Lows were colored up by fragment design who frequently dabbles in Nike Sportswear silhouettes. This latest duo Nike All Court Low features rich-colored suede uppers, a stark contrast to the white uppers of the trio of the fragment design x Nike All Court Low. Another note is the addition of Zoom Air cushioning; the previous Nike All Courts did not contain Zoom Air but you can expect the added comfort in these two pairs, which are slated to drop this Saturday, April 24th, at 21 Mercer.

Amid a silent auction with glitz, glamour and a celebrity red carpet,S. Elizabeth Ford, M.D., received a Humanitarian of the Year Award from the Dominique Wilkins Foundation last Thursday at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta.
As district health director of the DeKalb County Board of Health, Dr. Ford was honored along with Clayton County Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell, TV personality Jocelyn Dorsey, community activist Lila Womak, music producer Dallas Austin, sports personality Deion Sanders and cable television executive Ted Turner.
Other presenters included Dr. David Satcher, director of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute and, musician Joey Sommerville and more than 400 guests.
Dr. Ford was nominated for the 2012 Humanitarian Award for her stellar work at the DeKalb County Board of Health tackling severe health problems such as childhood obesity, infant mortality and diabetes using innovative approaches and partnerships.
DeKalb was the only county to receive federal Communities Putting Prevention to Work grants totaling $5.6 million to create smoke-free environments and to reduce obesity and to improve nutrition.
"It was quite humbling to receive such praise and recognition with other such well known recipients and to be presented the award by my hero, Dr. Satcher." said Dr. Ford.
Dr. Ford reminded the 400 attendees of the silent, yet critical, role of public health in touching every one, every day - from inspecting restaurants, to addressing outbreaks, to helping to create smoke-free environments.
Funding from the event will support the American Diabetes Association and the STARS Leadership Foundation to reduce diabetes and to mentor at-risk youth

Balsamic Bruschetta/
Bruschetta is not an appetizer I typically think to make. I'm not sure why that is because it is so simple and this recipe in particular is flavorful and delicious. I am a huge lover of anything tomatoey, so bruschetta should be at the top of my appetizer list. Moving it up a few notches on the list right now..
In a small bowl, add:
8 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Mix together and place in fridge.
Cut a loaf of French bread into 1/2-inch slices. Place bread slices onto a baking sheet.
At this point you have two serving options. You can:
1. Toast the French bread with tomato mixture spread on top in a 425-degree oven for 4-5 minutes for a warm appetizer.
2. Toast the bread by itself in a 425-degree oven for 3-4 minutes and then add the chilled tomato mixture to the top.
I tried both ways and I slightly favor the toasted bread with the chilled tomato mixture on top.
Top with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and serve! Delish!
Balsamic Bruschetta
Such a delicious way to enjoy bruschetta!

The Lioness of Iran: An Interview with Simin Behbahāni
Shiva Rahbaran conducted an interview with Simin Behbahāni, Iran's most prominent poet, at Guernica.
Rahbaran begins with a bit of context:
Simin Behbahāni is optimistic about where Persian thought and literature are headed despite Iranian society's many post-revolution disillusionments. She speaks of the ruinous itinerary of the "literature of censorship" and the phenomenon of self-censorship, but she believes that exceptional knowledge has been stored up given Iranian social and cultural resistance to the consequences of the 1979 revolution. This knowledge creates fertile ground for the growth of contemporary Persian literature. From this perspective, the importance of poets and writers for the survival of Iranian civil society is undeniable. Behbahāni points out that this role has been inherited today after a thousand years of attacks on Iran's writers and thinkers.
Behbahāni views her poetry in its historical context. She sees herself as an iconoclast, but has never severed her link with Iran's past literature. On this same basis, far from attaching any importance, as a poet, to 'being a woman,' she considers any reference to it an insult. In other words, her poetry is part of Persian poetry as a whole, whether produced by men or by women. Behbahāni's poetry is varied and, as she puts it, "multi-vocal," because her poetry is the poetry of the "moments" of her life— whether the moments of "convoys of war martyrs on their way to the cemeteries" and "lorries carrying the bodies of executed prisoners, dripping with blood" or the moments of happiness. For Behbahāni, a good poem is one in which "today's language, today's events, and today's needs" are poured into the mold of rhyme and meter.
And then begins the interview thusly:
Shiva Rahbaran: What impression do people in Iran have of democracy? Do they think that democracy always produces the desired outcomes? Have Iranian thinkers done anything to inform people about the dangers of democracy or not? Also, many people are of the view that democracy is not suited to Iranians.
Simin Behbahāni: Iranians have more or less the same impression of democracy as do the other nations of the world. Democracy means rule by the people. As long as it doesn't make an about-face and turn into a dictatorship, it's very desirable. Why, really, should democracy be suited to other nations but unsuited to Iranians? Western nations have experienced dictatorships in the past, too, and no Western nation has had a democratic state at the beginning of its history. Democracy is the product of human thought and reasoning. It's true that philosophers and thinkers have always imagined a utopia in which everything is as it ought to be and the people live in freedom and comfort. But this was not achieved until recent centuries. And it can even be said that, even in the freest and most developed countries, the bounds of democracy are overstepped from time to time. Or, a country that wants democracy for itself sometimes disregards other countries' rights to freedom. So the Iranian nation, too, wants democracy. But I think that it hasn't, in its experience, reached the necessary conclusions in its reasoning for this kind of government. The Constitutional Revolution and the Islamic Revolution were carried out within a short space of time in the hope of gaining freedom. But, from the start, the people's dream of freedom turned into a nightmare of tyranny. But I believe that these kinds of experiences and setbacks are necessary to attaining freedom and real rule by the people.
Today, another Hitler can't come to power and turn Germany into a hellish dictatorship and set the world ablaze. Having had this experience, the German nation will be forever immune to the risk of this kind of government.
Our thinkers, too, are changing in the light of the experiences that they have had under an Islamic state. They will no longer consent to any old kind of tyranny as they would have done twenty years ago. We can see that killing people and imprisoning them no longer has the desired effect! Although proponents of freedom are still sent to prison, the future is bright and we will gradually acquire the knowledge that we need to achieve democracy.
She closes by discussing the direction of her new work:
Shiva Rahbaran: Your new poems that were published in the London edition of Kayhan newspaper revealed a new passion that distinguished them from your other poems, which often carry references to blood, war, and injustice. Is this the beginning of a new path for you?
Simin Behbahāni: I have said again and again that my poetry is the poetry of the moments of my life. I've experienced years when the sky over me was blackened with the smoke of missiles and the ground on which I walked turned into ruins under exploding bombs. I've seen convoys of war martyrs on their way to the cemeteries. I've seen lorries carrying the bodies of executed prisoners, dripping with blood, that were being taken for burial in Behesht-e Zahra.
I've stood in long lines, in the rain and under the sun, just to buy a pack of butter or a box of paper napkins. I've seen mothers running after the corpses of their martyred sons, oblivious to whether their headscarves or their chadors or their stockings and shoes were slipping off or not. I won't say any more. In the light of all this, how did you expect my poetry to be joyful or, as in my recent poem, to speak of love? Even so, more than half of my poetry is joyful and these are the products of the moments when I've felt happy. As a matter of fact, my poetry is multi-vocal. I've spoken about everything. I've written poems that consist of a story in minimized form. I've used surreal subjects. I've produced 'dialogic' poems. I've produced descriptive poems. I had one working period which was totally devoted to transforming the foundations of the ghazal. I have used about seventy new or disused meters, and this is something that can give the ghazal a totally new potential and a new mold in which to pour today's language, today's events, and today's needs. You can find any type of poem that you like in my works and anyone, with any taste, can find something to their liking in them. On the whole, there's a great deal of variety in my works. I can't predict how my poetry will be in the future. It will depend on the state of things and how I'm feeling.

Sydney: Doping agencies urged Australian cheats to come clean on Friday as concern mounted that everyone has been tarred with the same brush after a probe pointed to widespread drug use in professional sport.
The bombshell Australian Crime Commission inquiry, which said use of prohibited substances including peptides, hormones and illicit drugs was common across multiple sporting codes, has sent shockwaves through Australia.
"Blackest day in sport", ran the Sydney Morning Herald headline, while the tabloid Sydney Daily Telegraph screamed: "Sport on Trial."
The broadsheet Australian newspaper said doping threatened the sporting culture of a nation that has long had a reputation as being predominantly drugs-free.
"The report will alarm a sport-loving nation that prides itself on the prowess and fairness of its athletes," it said in an editorial.
The official report indicated that sports scientists, coaches and support staff as well as doctors and pharmacists were involved in the provision of drugs, which were often supplied by organized criminal gangs.
World Anti-Doping Agency president John Fahey said tougher penalties were expected to be adopted by his organization in response to the growing use of new-generation, performance-enhancing drugs such as peptides.
He told The Australian that any athletes who came forward and offered "substantial assistance" would be shown leniency.
"If you are caught, you will be dealt with in a manner that can take you out of the sport forever," he said.
"If they want to reduce that sanction, the opportunity exists today for them to do it, and I encourage them to do it."
In an indication of the growing problem, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) said the importation of peptides had exploded with seizures up 255% over the past year.
ASADA chief Aurora Andruska said peptides, which increase levels of human growth hormone, were the "new generation" of performance-enhancing drugs but only two labs in the world could test for them, in Cologne and Montreal.
"We've been talking to sports about peptides, so we're very conscious about that being a new generation of drug that people are looking to use to improve their performance," she told reporters.
The crime commission report did not name specific players, teams or codes due to legal reasons and cricket, football and rugby union authorities insisted they were not under investigation, although rugby league admitted it was.
Former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd voiced growing concerns that all sports had been tarnished by such broad-brush allegations and said more information must be made public.
"The key thing now is to establish the facts—which players, which clubs—because I'm a bit concerned about every person out there who we've all watched, admired, is now walking around with a total cloud over their head," he said.
He was joined by senior opposition figure Joe Hockey who said it was unfair on athletes who are clean.
"If I were the authorities, I'd be getting it out there as quickly as possible about exactly how far this goes, rather than tarring the brush across every professional sportsman in the country," he said.
ASADA's Andruska said their hands were tied, but insisted the drug problem was "across a range of sports".
"Under our legislation, once we have started an investigation we are not in a position to talk about the investigation in any detail at all and that's because there is protection there," she told ABC radio. AFP

Sprout Socks
Lighter semi-solids like this one allow for quite a bit of play, so I found a fun stitch reminiscent of bean sprouts to run up the front of the sock, paired with some small seedlings for the back.

Akkineni Nagarjuna's latest production Uyyala Jampala, which marks the debut of Avika Gor, is creating buzz in the media for several good reasons. Actor Rana Daggubati and producer Shobu Yarlagadda has the preview of the movie and have all praise for Raj Tarun and Aanadi aka Avika for their wonderful performances.
On December 11, Rana Daggubati took to his Twitter page to laud their performances. The actor wrote, "Watched a very sweet film #UyyalaJampala last night. Produced by an old friend Rammohan (ashta chamma) Superb performances by both RajTarun amd Aanadi. Wishes to the entire team. Hope the Christmas is yours Virinchi and Ram."
Meanwhile, Shobu Yarlagadda also tweeted, "Watched a preview of #UyyalaJampala last night. Sweet film! Don't miss it when it releases this Christmas!" Avika Gor, who is all excited about the film, tweeted, "More than a film #UyyalaJampala becomes a Proud feeling when greats like @iamnagarjuna n @RanaDaggubati say they liked it."
Actor Akkineni Nagarjuna, who considers December to be a very lucky month for him, is planning to release Uyyala Jampala on Christmas day. The actor-turned-producer says, "Several of my own films over the years have released during December and have turned out to be successful. Therefore, I'm planning to release my film 'Uyyala Jampala' on Christmas day. I hope this film too turns out to be successful."
Some of Nagarjuna's successful films released during December include Manmadhudu, King and Ragada. Uyyala Jampala, jointly produced by Nagarjuna and P Ram Mohan, is directed by Virinchi Varma. Its audio is slated to release on Dec 15. Starring Avika Gor, Raj Tarun and Kireeti Damaraju, Uyyala Jampala is the love story of childhood sweethearts.

The Illumination Merchants
By Dean Henderson
July 2, 2012
(Excerpted from Big Oil & Their Bankers…Chapter 7: Four Horsemen)
By the late 1800's John D. Rockefeller had become popularly known as "the Illumination Merchant", during a time when oil was powering the reading lamps of every American household. [1]
Rockefeller's nickname also alluded to his membership in a grand secret society of global elites known as the Illuminati. Rockefeller had figured out that it was the refining of oil into various end products and not actual crude production which held the key to control of the industry.
By 1895 his Standard Oil Company owned 95% of all refineries in the US while expanding operations overseas. Summing up his attitude towards his new oil monopoly, Rockefeller once stated, "The day of combination is here to stay. Individualism is gone never to return".
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic the British du Reuter family plunged into the oil business in Iran via its Anglo-Persian Oil Company. The Swedish Nobel and French Rothschild families discovered oil in Russia through their Far East Trading Company, which later combined with Oppenheimer family interests to become Shell Oil.
The Dutch House of Orange joined forces with the British House of Windsor in the Dutch East Indies to launch Royal Dutch Petroleum. The Rothschilds and the European monarchs were Illuminated leaders of the Freemason movement in the Old World.
Freemasonry was derived from the Knights Templar whose inner circle, the Priory of Sion, claim to be guardians of the bloodline of Jesus Christ (Sangreal) which they believe is carried forth by the Merovingan family, French royals who ruled that country from the 5th century until they were vanquished by French revolutionaries. [2]
The Priory of Sion most likely wrote the sinister Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion. Freemasonry and the Knights Templar are highly secretive, organized in a pyramidal and compartmentalized fashion much like the CIA, which recruits heavily from these Brotherhoods.

I've been having this problem for a while and I cant find a fix around it now matter how hard I search. Basically in the old mysql I could assign a value to a text field automatically or I could just leave it blank now all that has changed.
When i do a query such as insert into whatever (column1) values ('whatever')It will not work if I have any other columns which are text fiends in the same table. So for example column2 is a text field and column3 is a varchar but because I didn't specifically assign values to them during my query, the entire query will fail. Is there any way around this. It becomes a big issue if I wish to change my database structure later. Adding just 1 extra field will make my entire site unable to function until I change every single insert query. There has to be a way around this, I'm almost 100% sure that the guys behind MySQL are not stupid enough to miss this issue.
Perhaps if you show the schema for a typical table you are having problems with, and an example sql statement that typifies this behaviour along with the error it throws, then that would provide a nicer illustration.
I suspect this is at its core this is an SQL question, but probably affects many PHPers.
I did provide an example. Read my post again and you'll see it. I provided an insert example and said if I have any other columns that are a text field asides from the one that I'm trying to insert. Nothing happens and I cant post. I did some extensive research. I'm not sure if this is true but apparently its a windows bug and on linux it gives a warning and processes the request by giving the text field a blank value but on windows it gives an error and doesn't process the request.
make sure those other columns have a DEFAULT value
if you post the results of a SHOW CREATE TABLE i can comment further
A default value can not be assigned to a text field that was the main problem I was having. In mysql 4.0 this would be solved by automatically assigning a blank value; and from what I read online, lynux will give a warning but wont stop the query and will also assign a blank value, this however isn't the case with windows. I'm not too sure if this is true as I do not use linux.

Top 20 Songs: Week of April 21-27, 2013
Both Soundgarden and Three Days Grace have spent time at No. 1 in recent weeks, but which one takes their place at the head of the Top 20 Loudwire Radio Countdown this week? That would be Soundgarden, who gets a second straight week at No. 1 for 'By Crooked Steps,' holding off former chart-topper 'The High Road' from Three Days Grace.
The fight for the next chart-topper will likely come down to David Draiman's Device with their debut single 'Vilify' and the Dave Grohl / Corey Taylor 'Sound City' soundtrack collaboration 'From Can to Can't.' Both songs move up one notch to No. 3 and No. 4 respectively, while former chart-topper 'Where Did the Angels Go' from Papa Roach slides back to No. 5 in their wake.
As for the biggest movers of the week, that's all about Alice in Chains. The band's latest single, 'Stone,' jumps five big notches from No. 18 to No. 13. But unfortunately their previous single, 'Hollow,' stumbles from No. 12 to No. 18. Just like Alice in Chains, it's a week of mixed results for Deftones. The band's new song 'Swerve City' makes its debut at No. 20 this week , but it replaces their recent hit single 'Tempest.'

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) has joined the petition filed by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) CPSC Coalition, dated March 25, 2009, asking the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for a one-year emergency stay of enforcement on the tracking label provision of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), until August 14, 2010.

 Enacted in August 2008, the CPSIA makes significant changes to consumer product safety laws and gives the CPSC significant new responsibilities for ensuring the safety of consumer products. Since that time, PPAI has worked to deliver the most timely, accurate information possible to its members. PPAI representatives in Washington, D.C., have been meeting with CPSC representatives as well as lawmakers to address the industry's most serious concerns regarding this law and submitting statements of record for Congressional hearings as well as letters directly to specific representatives.

 "On behalf of PPAI, I joined the petition filed by the NAM CPSC Coalition in requesting a one-year emergency stay in the tracking label provision of the CPSIA. We are gravely concerned that there remains insufficient time prior to the current August 14, 2009, implementation date to finalize, publish and adopt new tracking systems and marks," says Steve Slagle, CAE, PPAI president and CEO. "Additionally, we specifically call on the CPSC to identify those situations where it is not 'practicable' to affix tracking labels, particularly on very small products such as lapel pins, key chains and pens."

 "By adopting a stay of enforcement, the CPSC will allow businesses to adhere to the tracking label requirements, revamp packaging during normal production runs and develop electronic databases without a disruption of business practices," Slagle concludes.

 In addition to this petition filed jointly with NAM, in February, PPAI signed a petition with the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association (WIMA) requesting that pen point components be excluded from compliance with Section 101 of the CPSIA, and last December, PPAI joined with the NAM CPSC Coalition to file a petition with the CPSC asking the group to provide comprehensive guidance to the business community and testing laboratories on testing and exemptions. That petition has been credited with the one-year stay on third-party testing announced last month.

 To help its members understand the CPSIA testing requirements, PPAI has contracted with Susan
 DeRagon, senior associate director of the toys and premiums group for Specialized Technology Resources (STR), to serve as its product safety consultant. STR is a leading quality assurance firm. DeRagon will function as a technical resource for presentations and member inquiries, as well as for ongoing interpretation of CPSIA requirements and other related product safety issues affecting the industry. She will also help to further improve and expand PPAI's Guide To
 Navigating The CPSIA.

 The material related to the CPSIA, including a sample letter, the guide to the CPSIA and links to
 archived Webinars addressing this law are available on the Product Safety page of the PPAI
 Website at www.ppai.org or contact PPAI at 972-258- 3041 or email@example.com.

Sharp's first phones for the year: an incredibly compact Aquos mini, and a stylish flip K

1. Tracy1988 (banned) (Posts: 208; Member since: 18 Dec 2014)
Is off-centered display a new trend? Smh
3. andu99 (Posts: 6; Member since: 15 Jan 2015)
It is......for Sharp :)
5. dimas (Posts: 2525; Member since: 22 Jul 2014)
How is it off-centered?
14. vincelongman (Posts: 5068; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
Cause there's almost no top and side bezel, but the bottom bezel is huge
Not a problem IMO
But I'd prefer if the top bezel was the huge one, so the front camera is at the top, and so its easier to reach the top corners
6. Captain_Doug (Posts: 1035; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
Vertically? It's always been around.
10. medtxa (Posts: 1341; Member since: 02 Jun 2014)
better than half assed off-center phone like htc m8
2. Cyagocaliz (unregistered)
Yep, another phone which packs world-leading technology...
I don't like Sharp very much, but for this one, I have to say Sharp have done the great job!
4. dimas (Posts: 2525; Member since: 22 Jul 2014)
Interesting specs for a compact type. Too bad sharp don't extend too much in asian countries. Another "wish I could have" phone.
7. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
Kudos Sharp!
I'd like to see Sansui make a phone too.
Nakamichi or Akai branded even.
8. x88yunkw (Posts: 124; Member since: 20 Aug 2012)
i want flip phone.
9. justForTheRecord (Posts: 51; Member since: 17 Jan 2015)
Finally! A properly sized phone with a decent screen and battery life. If they don't screw up something this should be a good seller. I would buy one as I have no desire to tote a phablet around in my pocket! As in, tired of the jokes ("Is that a phablet or are you just happy to see me?!").
11. StuiWooi (Posts: 91; Member since: 19 Feb 2013)
I'll take that mini, 1080p on a 4.5 inch? Yes please! Before this the smallest 1080 screen I knew was the 4.7 on HTC One M7... Plus with the tiny bezels you know it's actually gonna be nice and compact
12. Genersis (Posts: 219; Member since: 29 May 2013)
The Aquos Mini SHV31 is pretty cool. If it had a 64 bit processor(even a 615), I'd be more interested; even so it seems like a great device.

New basketball coach quite familiar with Valley program
Mark Faulx isn't promising a full-scale return to glory at Valley — that's a lot to ask of the new boys basketball coach — but he remembers when the Vikings were a model for success, revered by opponents and committed to keeping things that way.
Faulx was a point guard at Knoch in the early 1990s and played in the same section as Valley, which won the WPIAL title in 1993.
"I have always had respect for Valley," Faulx said. "I remember how good they were with Tom Pipkins and I knew Bill Coury. I played against Pipkins. I remember those days well."
As a rising sophomore, Faulx made his first varsity start at Valley. Now, he's set to begin his first stint there as a head coach.
His challenge will be about as easy as taking a charge against Pipkins.
Valley was 3-16 last season and Faulx, who replaces Phil Cope, inherits a nine-game losing streak.
On top of that, he's taking the reins of a program that has been parked in the garage since the end of last season — no summer leagues or open gyms, no organized shoot-arounds.
"I can only control what's ahead of me," said Faulx, 37. "I want to get people together and start impacting. I am super excited; I can't wait to get things moving."
The lack of activity puts the new coach in a precarious position, but he plans to ease his way into the program and not panic when it comes to making up for lost time.
"My plan right now is to get the kids in the gym and impact them by quality workouts," Faulx said. "I want to sit down with (athletic director Mark Kaczanowicz) and discuss how we can get the word out to draw more people in.
"This is a great opportunity to show I care and that I am committed to help the kids grow. I want to get more people coming out and seeing that I am here for the long haul."
Faulx was a double-figure scorer during his high school career and played four years at Indiana (Pa.), where he was a team captain.
Coaching always fascinated Faulx, who often observed his father, Dee, a long-time assistant to Les Shoop at Knoch, carry the clipboard. He even coached one season with that successful duo.
"My mom and dad are retired and live in Florida in the winter," Faulx said. "My dad's excited for me. The first thing he asked is if he'll be able to get radio broadcasts down there.
"We play Knoch on my mom's birthday."
A Highland Park resident, Faulx is a biology teacher at Plum High School, a position he's held for 12 years. He also served as assistant boys basketball coach for seven years under Ron Richards, even applying for the head coach job when Richards took some time off.
He also served as an assistant for five seasons at Penn Hills.
A newborn son compelled him to take last year off from coaching. His wife, Sarah, is a former field hockey coach at Winchester Thurston.
His team may also be taking baby steps. But Faulx is committed to keeping the mood upbeat.
"I would classify myself as a positive guy," he said. "You'll see a lot of enthusiasm and high energy."
Knoch coach Ron McNabb also was an assistant alongside Faulx.
"The thing about Mark is that he's extremely dedicated," McNabb said. "He's a student of the game. He's not a guy who's going to jump up in your face, but he's a solid coach.
"He will bring some stability to the program."
A twist with Faulx and McNabb: they are now coaching at one another's high schools.
McNabb was a standout guard at Valley and also played at Indiana (Pa.).
Faulx said he needs to get a feel for his personnel before committing to a style of play, but ideally, he said the Vikings will be able to "freelance if things break down."
Expect to see plenty of passing, cutting and screening. Faulx appreciates good movement.
"And I was raised to play man-to-man defense," he said.
Even though he was out of coaching last year, Faulx didn't lose touch with the game. He said he attended 10 to 15 games, as well some coaching clinics and even the Big Ten Tournament.
"Basketball is a life-long passion," he said. "I found different ways to feed the hunger."
