JUNIOR Stanislas is still awaiting his first senior goal for Burnley, but admits he won't celebrate if he scores against his old club this afternoon.
It will be the second time the winger has faced West Ham United since swapping East London for East Lancashire in August.
His first game against his former employees ended in a 2-1 win for the Clarets, in which he set up captain Chris McCann's equalising header before on-loan striker Sam Vokes grabbed the winner at Upton Park.
Stanislas' 11-year association with the Hammers meant he returned to a warm welcome in that December fixture.
And it is because he got cheers not jeers that he admits he will be reserved should he break his Burnley duck this afternoon.
"I've still got a lot of love for the club," said the 22-year-old.
"They brought me up through the system and gave me my first team opportunity as well.
"I've got a lot to be thankful for and I enjoyed my time there.
"It's a good occasion for me to play against old friends and staff members that I know well.
"I think I might speak to a few of them before the game.
"A number of them still keep in touch. I was there for a long time so I've still got a lot of friends there.
"Jack Collison and James Tomkins were both a year older than me but we played in the same teams so those two are quite close to me.
"Everyone's quite close together down there."
Which is why Stanislas would be reluctant to go over the top if he got among the goals.
His first for the club came in last week's reserve match with Morecambe.
It would mean a lot to him to transfer that to the first team.
But asked if he would celebrate breaking his first team duck today, there was a thoughtful pause before he said: "I don't think so, purely because when we played away at Upton Park earlier in the season I got quite a nice reception, so I'm not West Ham's most hated player. I think sometimes it's the terms you leave on.
"I think it was more understood that I was a young player that wasn't perhaps getting the opportunities that I would have liked to and maybe deserved. I think they understood I had to go away."
Stanislas played 47 games for West Ham – 41 in the Premier League – after former manager Gianfranco Zola gave him his debut in 2009 following a successful loan spell with Southend. The wing man's first team opportunities became limited, though, when Zola was sacked and replaced by Avram Grant, who was succeeded in the summer by Sam Allardyce following relegation.
West Ham were keen to return to the top flight at the first time of asking. Stanislas could have been a part of it, but he was more keen to play regular first team football.
"I don't really feel I've got a point to prove (to West Ham)," he said.
"I moved up here because I wasn't playing as regularly as I wanted down there.
"I think I've done that here."
If Burnley can't get promoted this season, though, he wants West Ham to.
"Why not?" said Stanislas.
"I've got a lot of my quite close friends still there and it would be good for them. I think it's probably where they deserve to be."

Watermelon Salad
Be the first to review
READY IN: 10mins
Recipe by Lorraine of AZ
I first heard of watermelon salad from a friend who spent some time in Australia. Watermelon salads were very popular there at the time and just about unknown here. Later, I found this very simple, but very yummy recipe and tried ir for myself. I hope you'll try it for yourself, too, if you already haven't. This salad is very refreshing ; the sweetness of the watermelon is offset by the tanginess of the arugula and the goat cheese.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (4 ounce) bag arugula, stems removed, roughlly torn
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed
- 1 (3 ounce) package feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions See How It's Made
- Combine arugula, watermelon and feta in a large bowl.
- Gently mix in olive oil and season with black pepper to taste.

The views expressed by me are for educational purposes only and do not establish a doctor patient relationship.
Hi there,
I am Mysticdoc, experienced Internal Medicine Specialist.
I am here to help you with your concerns.
IGF 1 is insulin like growth factor protein.
The level is elevated in case of excess growth hormone in the body.
The condition is known as acromegaly.
it said igf -1 ( somc )185 A
how old are you?
And what is the normal reference range?
56 do i look under the age part
can't see your answer
Yes you should see in age specific reference range.
56 -60 says 81=225 i don't iderstand it if it says 185 A which i assume means abnormal
i am 56
then your level is elevated
Anything above 173 is considered elevated.
What symptoms do you have?
how can it be elavated if the range is 81-225 185 is in the middle
as per most standard labs, at your age group the upper limit of normal value is 173.
In case of your lab, if they specify 225 as upper normal value in your age group, then that is different.
the value needs to be interpreted by the age.
younger people have higher normal value.
sorry i don't understand do i have excess growth hormone
what does it mean - what do i do who do i go to what are the symtoms
IGF 1 is a proxy for growth hormone.
Yes that means you have excess growth hormone.
Do you see an endocrinologist?
what exactly is growth hormone
what are the symptoms more hair
what symptoms do you have currently?
i don;t know what i am suppose to look for
Usually joint pains, enlarging jaw and tongue, headache, vision loss, deepening of the voice are common symptoms.
Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland located in the brain,.
This is responsible for the cell growth in the body --bones, soft tissue etc.
Excess hormones will cause excess activities producing these symptoms.
Usually a pituitary tumor can be responsible for this.
This is a complex topic and hence better evaluated by an endocrinologist.
i have joint pain i had hashimtos- low dhea and i have a lyme disease marker
see these symptoms can be caused by the growth hormone excess.
Better to get this checked out.
so i go to a endrcologist
do i get a pitutatary test
mri of the brain
yes you should get a MRI and go to the endocrinologist.
Best wishes,

Multiple times over the past three years, the Big East Conference has been on the brink of extinction. Rutgers' move to the Big Ten may finally signal the end for the 33-year old conference.
But the Big East's loss is the Big Ten's gain. Long considered the best combination of academics and athletics in the country, the Big Ten is now entering the New York City market. And it comes just one day after Maryland brought the Washington metro area into the picture.
The conference's council of presidents unanimously approved Rutgers' application for membership into the Big Ten Tuesday. Rutgers becomes the 14th member of the Big Ten and the third in the past three years, joining Nebraska and Maryland over the past 30 months during a seismic shift in intercollegiate athletics.
"The Big Ten Conference is pleased to announce that Rutgers University will soon join the conference family," Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said. "The additions of Rutgers and the University of Maryland further expand the Big Ten's footprint while helping solidify our presence on the East Coast. Both institutions feature a combination of academic and athletic excellence and will prove a great fit for our future."
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, must pay a $10 million exit fee to the Big East and give the conference 27 months notice before it leaves. But the Scarlet Knights will be joining the Big Ten, along with Maryland, for the 2014-15 season. Violating the 27-month agreement means Rutgers could face a fee in the neighborhood of $20 million.
"This is a historic day for Rutgers University," Rutgers Director of Athletics Tim Pernetti said. "It is an honor to join such a prestigious conference and begin our partnership with the outstanding institutions in the Big Ten. There is no finer conference in the nation that combines top-notch academics and athletics."
The university's decision ends a relationship with the Big East that began in 1991, when Rutgers joined the conference as a football-only member. It began competing in the Big East in all other sports in 1995.
The reasons for joining the Big Ten are both financial and competitive. Rutgers will rake in a hefty amount of money from the Big Ten's network television deals, the richest in college sports, as well as its own Big Ten Network.
The Big East's current TV package pays Rutgers just over $6 million a year.
Rutgers and Maryland's move to the conference is expected to generate more income for each of the 14 schools in the Big Ten. Currently, the 12 members of the conference receive more than $24 million a year due to the Big Ten's lucrative TV deal.
Nebraska only received a partial share – $14 million – during its first year in the league and the same is expected for Rutgers and Maryland. But the two schools will reap the rewards of being affiliated with the Big Ten in future years.
Sports Illustrated estimated that the 14 Big Ten schools will receive $32 million in 2014-15 all the way up to $43 million in 2017.
In 2014, a four-team college football playoff is coming, and the Big East did not receive an automatic tie-in to the system. The playoff is expected to bring a TV deal well north of $500 million. That should help the Rutgers' athletics department, which has been losing money in recent years.
Rutgers' athletic budget for the 24-sport department is $60 million, but almost 50 percent of that figure came from university subsidies and student fees.
Rutgers and Maryland are both strong academic institutions and members of the Association of American Universities, a group of the country's 60 leading research institutions. Nebraska is the only Big Ten University that is not an AAU member.
"The Big Ten includes America's most highly regarded academic institutions, known for both their athletic success and academic achievement," Rutgers President Robert Barchi said. "This is exactly the right conference for Rutgers. Our university is one of the nation's leading research universities and our student-athletes excel in the classroom and on the playing field."
Critics of the move are on both sides of the aisle. Big Ten fans are screaming, asking why two programs who have zero ties geographically or otherwise to the conference are joining century old members Illinois, Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Ohio State.
Ohio State has never played Rutgers or Maryland in football.
Rutgers' supporters are left wondering why they're abandoning rivalries that date back decades. Now the Scarlet Knights will be venturing off to cities such as Champaign, Iowa City and Lincoln for road trips.
But it isn't just Rutgers who's at fault for severing ties. Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia have all jumped ship in the past year and joined other conferences. Syracuse and Pitt join the ACC next season, while West Virginia started competing in the Big XII this year.
San Diego State, Boise State and SMU are just some of the teams that the Big East is welcoming into the league next season to make up for the other departures, so long distance trips were going to be a part of Rutgers' upcoming itineraries.
ESPN reported that the Big Ten divisions will be realigned. Illinois will move to the Legends Division and Rutgers and Maryland will join the Leaders Division.

Chronicle Texture Pullover Sweater
Chronicle Texture Pullover Sweater is rated out of 5 by 96.
Rated 4 out of 5 by KED7 from Cozy sweater, easy to wear, staple for fall This sweater is soft, and easy to wear with a cami or a chambray shirt underneath. The knit and shirttail hem in the back provides interest. I ordered in canterbury red, which is more like a rust color - a little more orangey than the picture shows. I only have a slight issue with the cut and fit. I feel it is very boxy, but if I went with a smaller size, the sweater was too short. For sizing reference, I am 5'7" 125lbs 32D, and I ordered a XS. Usually I am a size small in sweaters because I like to have the option to layer, but the XS in this sweater was definitely big enough to layer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Beautiful Sweater, Gorgeous when layered I love this sweater. It fits beautifully and looks great over a flannel shirt. Its hand wash only FYI.

Rated 5 out of 5 by shopgirlforfun from Smart and attractive I bought this sweater in a rust color and enjoyed it so much I went on a hunt for another one. I chose the heather grey and am very happy that I have two sweaters in this style. It is very attractive and very comfortable to wear. I've received compliments on both and I am a big fan of the Madewell sweater line. Very happy customer!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by fiascos from Bought it twice! I loved the striped version of this sweater, I bought another one in marled toffee. I love the autumnal color of the toffee, and it looks especially nice when paired with black pants. It's soft and cozy, but I have gotten a few pills on it. It seems to be a different quality than the striped version, but I still love it. It runs true to size, but I could have sized up (to S) for a more relaxed fit. I bought it in an XS (5'2", 125#, 34C), but the arms are a little snug.

Rated 5 out of 5 by apegurl from LOVE I have this in 3 colors, and in the heather color I have two just for when one wears out. I love them that much. The arms are on the short side.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mechee55 from Perfect sweater! I purchased this sweater in green online, and I was afraid that the color wasn't going to be what I expected, but it's perfect all around! It's not too thick, so even when I wear a jacket over it, it's not going to be cramming! I'm 5'3" 110lbs, and I bought a Small. It fits perfectly!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MichelleT from Absolutely Love! This sweater has become my go to sweater for the Fall. I purchased it in the color: heather surplus and love how it's such a muted green. I've received plenty of compliments due to the color. As for the fit, I'm 5'2 and 125 lbs and am usually a small in Madewell so I went with that and it fits perfectly!
Date published: 2015-11-19
Rated 5 out of 5 by ErinK from Great easy-going sweater I got the sweater in a beautiful Canterbury red, that kind of reads between an orange and a red to me. Perfect for fall! This is a great, cozy sweater that is great for dressing up with a button up underneath or something a little more casual with it's long shirttail hem. It's nice and warm, and perfect for a cool fall day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bahamamama123 from Soft, comfy sweater, great classic Love this sweater! It's so soft and I love the lower back - makes it look more interesting. The front is a round neck but not too high - you can still wear a necklace that would show. Looks esp nice w/ skinny jeans or leggings . I'm 5'0 and 125lbs so I usually buy petite medium sizes but I can fit the Small in this comfortably. Sleeves are a bit long but I just cuff them up. Loved it so much I got 2 - one in ivory and 1 in sage. Can't wait for warmer weather to wear these!! I only recently started checking out Madewell clothes and I have to say i love them! I'm not a young girl (~late 40's) but I appreciate the simple lines and good quality of the clothes. Plus i just found out that they hem jeans for free! this will be my new jeans place.

Xiaomi Mi4 poses for new pictures; is the back plate plastic or metal? (It's plastic!)
0. phoneArena posted on 20 Jul 2014, 12:50
Freshly leaked pictures of the Xiaomi Mi4, just days away from its July 22nd introduction, still do not end a mini-controversy about this upcoming flagship device. A sentence about the new handset, written in Chinese on Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun's Weibo account, was translated and apparently says something along the lines of, "The journey of a piece of steel metal." That would seem to indicate that the phone will be made of metal...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Stop worrying about material and worry about actual life and durability.
8. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
That's why HTC One, Z2, IP5, oppo7 feels and has a touch of class and prestige.
Great would you like one that's made of dustbin plastic...?
12. tech2 (Posts: 3487; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
HTC One and and IP5 have issues with signal dropping out. Z2 has issues with over heating. Metal looks premium but is far from being a practical solution.
Sensible ppl chose phone for functionality like accessible battery, rounded corners for better grip, non-smooth back for better grip, etc. not for 'prestige' and 'class'
That's why Samsung sells more plastic then all of them COMBINED except iPhone ofc.
13. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
If everyone could afford to drive prestige cars like: BMW, Jag, Merc, Audi, who the he'll would want to buy or drive Ford, Toyota, Mazada, Nissan and Vauxhall.
People don't care about issues, aslong it has prestige, quality materials.
Personally me, I don't like cheap junk bendable dustbin plastic
When your paying €800 euros for a high end phone, we demand:
Carbon fibre
Stainless steel 18,8
Not cheap low grade low class tacky plasty
15. jdoee100 (Posts: 334; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
What is this obsession with metal? Newsflash, most people don't care. Fact, #1 selling premium android phone in the world is plastic. #1 premium phablet phone is plastic. Even, iphones are made mostly out of glass. (By the way, the cheapest car in America, Nissan Versa, is made out of metal.)
23. John2014 (Posts: 43; Member since: 14 Jan 2014)

If they have issues, they should've used 4or 8 antenna, instead of 2 antenna.
Stupid Oems
Apple had to use 4 antenna, when they realised 2 was a fail.

The HTC One has issues with signal dropping out? I have mine for more than a year and it has pretty good reception, on par or better than many other phones. I didn't experience one single drop out with it...
22. JC557 (Posts: 1794; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
Not on my end. My M8 has a little better dB gain than my cousin's S5 in the same places we went. So no the aluminum did not affect it. The amtennas are the black lines in the case if you didnt know.
26. rkoforever90 (Posts: 284; Member since: 03 Dec 2011)
samsung sale has nothing to do with plastic, its more about their branding.
29. The-Sailor-Man (banned) (Posts: 1095; Member since: 25 Mar 2014)
Aluminum is the worst material for smartphones EVER? See how the backs of the M8 and iP5 is cut , but NOT WHOLE tin can.
How could you expect this Xiaomi Mi4 on the picture to be whole aluminium , and to work , at the same time?
32. jdrch (Posts: 104; Member since: 08 Jul 2014)
"Feel" and "touch" have nothing to do with durability at all.

Xiao Mi phone stock are sold out in term of second. They sell directly to their customer via their online site. I did not manage to buy it the first round because I took 2 minutes to complete my purchase. My recent attempt is 30 second record time. Redmi Note is sold out in 42 seconds.

"Go premium, or go home."
The cheap aluminium tin can , - "premium"????? ROTFL
How could you expect this Xiaomi Mi4 on the picture to be whole aluminium back , and to work , at the same time, you ignorant?
ROTFL(check out how they cut M8 and iP5 backs , because aluminium doesn't work for smartphones)
3. maddy996 (Posts: 101; Member since: 06 Jan 2014)
metal back for sure
4. Hammerfest (Posts: 384; Member since: 12 May 2012)
Yes, yelled, because I want to BITCH SLAP anyone who likes them*
*when they take up the NORMALLY free screen space, if they were to extend the screen down where the buttons would NORMALLY exist, I would love them as well, currently however, there isnt a SINGLE PHONE/TABLET that does this**!!
**Link me if you know of one, and ill let you know if its enough
Also, MENU, HOME, BACK! EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE!
5. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
How about the Sharp phones?
7. wildfiregt (Posts: 171; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
Actually ,soft keys are fat better than physical. I know they take place but that depends of the manufacturer. Look at the OnePlus One for the exemple.
Softkeys can be heavily modified with custom roms. you can have 3 4 or whatever buttons. And set them double function with longpress. You can also have the navigation ring. So yes softkeys are better when you use custom rom
25. Jinto (Posts: 436; Member since: 15 Jan 2014)
Yeah but extra bottom bezels should have off screen buttons to preserve screen space, the Z2 should have off screen buttons
11. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The Moto X does it. It has barely any bottom bezel at all. Same for the LG G2 and G3
6. aditya.g0110 (Posts: 42; Member since: 15 Aug 2013)
Buttons look ugly :-/
10. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Same buttons that are on the Evo 4G LTE and HTC Butterfly...
16. shamatuu (Posts: 159; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
would love to try this on T-mobile. I would pick this phone over the iphone 5 s or c any day of the week. At least companies like them are trying their hardest and not going all out like champions unlike Apple who made phones that can't keep up with the current trends. Apple are like peasants.
18. p51d007 (Posts: 372; Member since: 24 Nov 2013)
I don't understand why people want a metal cover, on a phone if it has an INTERNAL antenna. Yeah, if you had one of the phones back in the 90's that had the little nub sticking out of the case, or, one of the star-tac phones (I did and went through a lot of broken antennas), I could see the "coolness" of having a shiny metal back cover, but, since the antenna on a modern phone, is nothing more than a few micro layers of metal, or in the recent patient lawsuit of one that is "painted" on by a laser onto plastic by way of activating a new kind of chemical, you don't want metal anywhere near the antenna. RF signals have to go through that metal, to get to the antenna. At the microwave bands, it's possible some signal will not resonate properly through that metal, and it's still possible to get some harmonics bouncing around. If you were to take a phone, run a signal strength on it, then pop off the plastic back cover, for a metal one, you'd find signal degradation of a few db. That could mean the difference in a signal in the fringe area, and no signal in a fringe area. As hyper as people are today about "no bars" on their device, why would you want to. Plus, that metal cover is going to radiate heat, keeping it warmer, and, will reduce battery life. How? The stronger the signal on a cell phone, the LESS output power the transmitter emits to keep locked onto the tower. Weaker signals mean higher output, which means less battery. Plus, most phones I see today, are covered in a case, so why double the amount of heat trapped by having a metal case, surrounded by a layer of plastic, rubber, or both?

Even if it's metal or has a 1440p screen. I will still never fall for a phone from a Chinese brand like OnePlus, Mi (Xiaomi), or OPPO. I will loose my favorite features like an IR Blaster, Dual Front Speakers, Laser AutoFocus, and much more.

The firm's original store in Donegall Place, Belfast, is to be completely redesigned and extended.
Other stores to be extended include the branch at Forestside at Castlereagh and another at Omagh.
Marks and Spencer currently employs 2,000 staff in its 14 stores in Northern Ireland.

"Do you have any questions for me?" It's the one question you are guaranteed to have to answer in an interview. Even if you have had a successful one so far, if you reply incorrectly the employer could assume you have no real interest in the job and your candidacy is over.
There are also two interview questions that you can ask that will speak volumes.
"Ask them about their history with the company, growth, and development opportunities," said hiring manager, Libby Felchle.
This question shows you are career-minded and that you want to grow with the company.
Also, "What projects can I contribute to right away?" When you ask this question, you let the employer know that you will find a way to help as soon as possible. It also gives you the chance to sell yourself as someone who can help on those projects.
Many people think it's okay to ask the employer, "What happened to the person in this position before me?" But this may seem like you want gossip.
A better question: "Is this position new? If not, what did the previous employee not do that I can do to be a star in your eyes?"
Also, remember that it's never a bad time to ask questions.

NZ university students score in financial literacy quiz
NZ university students score much better than their English counterparts
January 23, 2014
A survey of New Zealand university students has found they scored almost 20 percent better in a financial literacy quiz than their English counterparts.
Students from the University of Canterbury (UC) performed significantly better than their counterparts at Bristol's University of the West of England in a financial literacy quiz, UC economics lecturer Steve Agnew says.
`` We also found that in both countries, females performed about 10 percent lower than male students.
``In a related survey, carried out late last year, we also asked financial questions to nearly 1500 students at 18 Christchurch secondary schools.
``This showed that financial literacy in the home is an important influence in later life. It has more effect than doing a financial literacy course at school in terms of financial literacy knowledge and attitudes.
``Poorer performance by females in financial literacy quizzes may be due to differences in exposure to financial literacy concepts and discussions in the home between girls and boys.
``Poorer performance in financial literacy quizzes by females is commonplace in the literature.
``On average, girls are one year older than boys when they have their first financial discussion with their parents. It is the same across school deciles as well.
``Another significant result was that girls are more likely than boys to disagree with statements such as: `I think I am a smart shopper; I know how much money I have in my wallet or purse right now; my parents often talk to me about financial security; and my parents are role models for me about managing my financial affairs'.
``Getting a later start in life in terms of first discussing finances with parents correlated with lower financial literacy test scores when students are aged 15.
``Girls are being impacted on in later life in terms of their financial attitudes and knowledge, due at least in part to the home environment. Parents may need to make sure they give girls the same exposure to financial literacy as boys in the home,'' Agnew says.

A Bead Marks The Spot, Scarf
This pattern is available for $6.00 USD buy it now
I designed this scarf because I wanted to use the decorative lattice stitch. I love this stitch. It looks hard but is really very easy. Of course, I had to add beads. You can add beads to just the ends, like I did; or, add beads for the entire length of the scarf. I had so much fun with this that I designed a beaded clutch using the same stitch.
If you have any questions regarding this pattern, you can email me at email@example.com.

Since you cannot escape it this weekend - just embrace it! Check out Samuel L Jackson and Jon Stewart having a blast promoting SoaP.

This movie looks too dumb to pay money to see.
My two worst fears, ever! Well, those and Katie Holmes actually marrying Tom Cruise LMAO! ;)
i kind of want to see it!
I love SLJ, however this movie looks really dumb. I don't know if I can make myself watch it. Perhaps when it comes out on DVD? :)
I saw the advert for it when I went to see another film, I wasn't sure if it was a piss take or not.
lol, well that thing with jon stewart made me smile. :) i love their swearing and how.. psyched they both are about the snakes on the motherfucking plane. haha. whateverr.. i loved final destination 2 so i'm gonna go see snakes on a plane. woohoo. :D
I see it tonight, can't wait.
Ha ha ha, well that's only because you haven't encountered me and my decibels of deafness, yet. :) Alright ladies, its been fun. But lovely little nap time has come to an end. See you all later!
LOL, fortunately no. Just scowls, profanity-laiden exclamations, and a couple of demands like "get that the hell away from me!"
Has your love earned you any beat downs, yet? :) I would pop your eardrum with my desperate shrieking. Watch out.
Now come on, jen. Surely you didn't expect me to simply toss the leg away when it possessed such joke-potential, did you? And it's not just my mom...I act this way with everyone I know. I think I've played jokes on practically all my coworkers, too. I like to SHARE my love!
YOU ARE SO MEAN! Your mother should ground you for life. I don't care if you ARE almost 30. Centipedes need to be cut in half. That's the best way. Outside, a shovel is the perfect tool.
The thing with house centipedes is that when you spray them with bug killer, sometimes their legs fall off and lay there twitching for about a minute. I remember one time after I'd sprayed a 'pede it lugged itself across the floor and left this hideous trail of twitching legs...WHICH I had to wipe up. My mother is horrified by those things. So, being Toronado, about a week ago I decided to cut up. I noticed a pretty big 'pede in the bathroom and promptly sprayed it. Right on cue a leg fell off and twitched up a storm. Couple minutes later I informed my mother of the 'pede's demise, telling her about the leg. She almost wretched when I opened my hand and stuck the leg right under her nose. Aaaah, it feels good to be bad, sometimes.
Alot of people are going to go watch this, Miss Sixty. It will probably be #1 at the box office.
Samuel is the coolest dude on the planet
i thought this film was a joke when i first saw the preview like a comedy or something, but i am really intrigued!
ya i agree with you ImCurly..this movie sounds really stupid...i dont know who will actually go and watch this.
This movie is gay, no need to go and waste my money on it ... STUPID DIRECTORS ... Get some real material !
LOL NOT looking forward to that, Jinx. My MIL was a brave soul who allowed my husband one cage/box. He could put whatever he wanted in it. I don't know if my son will be so lucky.
Seriously! They'd rule the effin world. (Or at least the planes.) :)
Awww, thats sweet Jen. Wait until he gets to the phase where he likes bugs.
If the spiders only knew how scared we were of having them on us!
LOL Val. My son isn't old enough to be scared yet. But, he's not coordinated enough to actually connect with the bug - although he'll stomp his little heart out trying. So, when my husband's not around, we compromise. I kill it, he picks it up and throws it away.
OMG Jen, I can't touc a centipede! I chase them with shoes, and they are fast. I think I hate them more than spiders anymore.
roaches (texas) and spiders. i always tell my girls "how big is the spider and how big are you? so who is more afraid?" but inside i'm like "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" as i grab it with tp and flush it. jenna kindergarten 2003-2004

Law mandates home carbon monoxide detectors
The carbon monoxide poisoning of a Glassport mother and her four children last week provided a grim reminder of the threat posed by the odorless gas.
A state law aims to reduce such incidents by expanding the requirement for carbon monoxide detectors in homes. By June 2015, detectors will be required in all multi-family dwellings and rental properties with a fossil fuel-burning heater or appliance, fireplace or attached garage. Sellers will be required to say in property disclosures whether their buildings have detectors.
"Certainly we want to make sure that our residents are safe, but it's a significant mandate," said James Eichenlaub, executive director of the Apartment Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh.
The law requires property owners to pick up the tab for installing at least one detector near bedrooms in each housing unit. That could cost millions of dollars.
Census figures show the Pittsburgh metropolitan area is home to more than 300,000 rental units. Detectors cost $20 and up. It's unknown how many units have detectors.
Eichenlaub said apartment owners and landlords will have to revise lease agreements to advise tenants of their responsibilities.
The law, signed by Gov. Tom Corbett in December, requires tenants to maintain the detectors.
"It's not something that can just be done overnight," Eichenlaub said.
Sen. Pat Browne, R-Lehigh County, knows that. He's been proposing related legislation for years.
"Pennsylvania leads the nation in fatalities as a result of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning," Browne said, citing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "The best way to address this danger is prevention through the installation of carbon monoxide detectors."
Carbon monoxide poisoning results in an average of 450 deaths and more than 20,000 emergency room visits annually, according to the CDC.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office reported 15 accidental carbon monoxide poisoning deaths over the past six years. That included three last year, the highest total in three years.
The law might not have helped the Glassport family, which survived the poisoning on the evening of March 19.
The landlord, listed as Yehudai Amit, faces citations for various code violations, including failing to have the single-family, rental home inspected before the family moved in, said Glassport building inspector Steve Volpe. It remains unknown whether the home had carbon monoxide detectors, he said.
Volpe said he inspected the home the following morning and it had three detectors, along with what appeared to be ductwork, vents and a new hot water heater.
"The night before, the fire chief said a vent was so rusty that you could poke your finger through it. The next morning, they had a brand new one," Volpe said. Amit could not be reached.
The family was treated at UPMC Presbyterian when the mother, a nurse, took the family to the hospital when one daughter appeared disoriented and had trouble with her balance and another daughter complained of a headache, Volpe said.
"Everyone should have at least one detector, regardless of the law," said Mt. Lebanon fire Chief Nicholas Sohyda, who has two in his home — one in the area of its bedrooms and the other near the furnace and hot water heater in the basement.
David Namey, manager of the county Health Department's housing and community environment program, has three detectors in his home.
"One incident like the one in Glassport is too many. You can get a good detector for $20. It's well worth it," Namey said.

UPGRADES to modernise Malmesbury's ageing sewers are due to start on Monday August 4.
Wessex water will be working in Bristol street to reline the sewers which are now in poor condition and in need of immediate repair.
The work is expected to take three weeks to complete and has been scheduled following a recent survey undertaken in the town to assess the need for repairs.
Project manager for the scheme Leanne Ford said "This work is essential to ensure we bring the sewers up to modern standards.
"We would like to thank people in advance for their patience and cooperation while we carry out this essential work."
Engineers will insert a plastic liner into the sewer system using manholes and create a new wall inside the pipes by setting it in place with hot water, eliminating the need to dig up the road.
During the works a section of Bristol Street, from the junction with Bremilham Road to the junction with West Street will be closed with diversions clearly signed.
Wessex Water is currently in correspondence with Wiltshire Council to arrange for recycling trucks to have access to the road while they carry out their work and are waiting for a final response.
Malmesbury Mayor Cllr Sue Poole explained that the works were much needed and that the condition of the sewers has been known about by the council for the last eight months.
She praised Wessex Water for their cooperation with the council, saying that they have listened to all of their requests for works to be carried out after WOMAD and during the school holidays in order to keep the town running as smoothly as possible.
Cllr Poole said "The town council have worked hard with Wiltshire council and the highways people to put in place the very best plan we can to reduce the disruption as best as possible.
"It's going to be inconvenient but it would be far more inconvenient if the sewer did collapse."
Cllr Poole acknowledged that the works were essential and summed up by saying "If we've got to have it done we've got to have it done. "
Diversions for traffic during works will be as follows:
For Eastbound Traffic (into Malmesbury town centre): Parklands, Old Alexander Road, Park Road, Gloucester Road
For Westbound Traffic (towards Sherston): Gloucester Road, Park Road, Old Alexander Road, Alexander Road, Corn Gastons.

I recently met a girl who was my friends cousin. We met in a bar had a couple of drinks she talked about her sex life with me even if she didn't know me that much which I think was a clear sign that she was sexually into me. on the way to the other bar, we were in my friends car, we started making out. after that things got a little more heated up but we couldn't have sex. so she decided to make me her FWB. we agreed on not getting feelings involved. the next day we started texting each other she wanted me to know her more and wanted me to ask about her more. she talked about her sex life more and how crazy she was before so I did. after that we saw each other the next day and had sex . she slept over and wanted me to hug her until she fell asleep. texting got more frequent. She wanted me to text her and call her more often we talked about how her day was. after a few days we saw each other again for sex. this one was a quickie but we still cuddled and I felt that she loved the cuddling. after a few days we started hanging out she kept telling me how she would want to have a serious relationship someday and how similar the things we do together when hanging out, with the things her ex boyfriend did before and she wanted to hang out with me more. then one day we had to go to a bar. before picking her up I told her not to tell my friends we;d been hanging out so they wouldn't think we're a couple. she got mad I think because she cursed at me. so I told my friends and told her that they know. In the bar I wasn't talking to her that much so my friends wouldn't think that we were getting serious and so that she would still look single I think this p*ssed her off too cause she was getting more cold. then a guy approaches him and flirts with her and she flirts back. it wasn't fine with me but I acted nonchalant about it. I sat farther away from her so she wouldn't be ashamed of doing something with the guy and I was getting jealous. my friend talked to the guy and told him to stop. I dint know this till it was over.i didn't call her for two days because I was too embarrassed at what happened. she then called me and asked me if I was mad. I told her no and what was I going to be mad at. she then told me about my friend talking to the guy flirting with him and told me that I was acting a little bit off when she started flirting with the guy. I explained to her that it was just fine with me. she then tells me how I made her feel that I was getting serious with her then she told me she was sorry if she hurt my feelings and how she didn't want a relationship but didn't want to lose our friendship. I argued a bit that I had no feelings for her. I didn't want to complicate things so I decided to just go with it. then she told me that the benefits part would be gone because she thinks it was inappropriate. we stopped texting. did she quit because she was developing something for me? if she did how do I get her back. I like her. and why does she want to just be plain friends?
i just want to find out if she have feelings for me and if she does how do I get her back. I can have a relationship with her. she had great personality
Most Helpful Girl
Let me tell you something. I went through this same scenario almost exactly four months ago. I tried to have "the talk" with my guy so that he would commit to me. Although he agreed to exclusivity, he never asked me to be his girlfriend, and I suspected that during the time we were together he cheated on me at least once. Look, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you are not willing to risk the social repercussions of your friends knowing about the two of you as a couple (why you care so much what other people think I can't reckon), let her go. She clearly has feelings for you and suspects that you have feelings for her too.00|00|0
Typo- your friends to 'know not 'low'
' - don't humor her talking about feelings '
Thanks for best answer. I hope everything works out for the better.

Davoid Cameron yesterday issued a grovelling apology for hiring crooked spin doctor Andy Coulson after the former News of the World editor was convicted of phone hacking.
The PM was accused of allowing a criminal into the corridors of power by stubbornly ignoring repeated warnings about the conduct of the journalist – who faces up to two years in jail.
And he faced a further grilling over how disgraced Coulson slipped through the normally stringent vetting procedure for staff at No10 to land a plum job at the heart of government.
Chancellor George Osborne also came under fire for his role in recruiting the Tory press chief in 2007 shortly after his resignation from the News of the World.
Mr Cameron spoke after close friends Rebekah Brooks and her husband Charlie were cleared of all phone hacking charges, along with three other former News International colleagues.
The grim-faced PM said: "I take full responsibility for employing Andy Coulson. I did so on the basis of undertakings I was given by him about phone hacking and those turn out not to be the case.
"I always said that if they turned out to be wrong, I would make a full and frank apology and I do that today. I'm extremely sorry that I employed him. It was the wrong decision."
But Labour leader Ed Miliband accused Mr Cameron of employing Coulson in a bid to cosy up to News International boss Rupert Murdoch.
He said: "David Cameron has very serious questions to answer. We now know that he brought a criminal into the heart of Downing Street.
"David Cameron was warned about Andy Coulson, the evidence mounted up against Andy Coulson, David Cameron must have had his suspicions and yet he refused to act.
"This isn't just a serious error of judgment, it taints David Cameron's Government because we now know that he put his relationship with Rupert Murdoch ahead of doing the right thing.
"This is not some small or accidental mistake. He stuck with Andy Coulson over a long period of time."
Former Labour Cabinet minister Ben Bradshaw called on Mr Cameron to explain why Coulson, 46, was not properly vetted when he entered Downing Street in 2010.
Any such procedure would have undoubtedly unearthed the father of three's fling with former Sun editor Brooks, which came to light during the eight-month Old Bailey trial.
Mr Bradshaw said: "Cameron has never explained why Coulson was not properly vetted and remains part of the stench hanging around the PM over this scandal.
"It's unprecedented for somebody doing Coulson's job not to undergo the process and in the absence of a satisfactory explanation from Cameron one can only suspect he was worried about what it might uncover."
Mr Cameron, who once described Coulson as a "close friend", refused to be drawn on the vetting matter. He said: "I asked him questions about if he knew about phone hacking and he said that he didn't."
And he stormed off from a TV interview refusing to answer any more questions when asked if he felt sorry for his convicted pal "on a human level".
Coulson gave a deep breath and stood in the dock with his jaw clenched as he was unanimously found guilty of conspiracy to intercept voicemails. For seven years he had denied all knowledge of phone hacking at the now closed News of the World.
But the trial heard he listened to the voicemail of former home secretary David Blunkett in 2004 at the height of his affair with magazine publisher Kimberly Quinn. He had also sent an email to a reporter about Calum Best with the instruction "do his phone", the court was told.
Murdoch, 83, was last night said to have been told by Scotland Yard he faces being quizzed as a suspect over allegations of crime at his British newspapers.
He will be interviewed in the "near future" His son, James, the former executive chairman of News International, may also be questioned, it was reported.
After the Old Bailey verdicts were read out, Brooks, 46, had to be tended to by the court matron.
She was also found not guilty of conspiracy to pay public officials and perverting justice.
Her 52-year-old husband was cleared of perverting justice, as was Brooks' personal assistant Cheryl Carter, 50 and News International head of security Mark Hanna, 51.
Retired managing editor Stuart Kuttner, 74, was found not guilty of hacking.
The jury is still considering charges that Coulson and former royal reporter Clive Goodman, 56, conspired to commit misconduct in public office by paying an official for royal phone numbers.
Mr Osborne was grilled in the Commons by Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls over the part he played in helping Coulson get the Downing Street job, where he stayed until 2011.
Mr Balls said: "Does the chancellor now accept he has brought the office of chancellor into disrepute by urging the Prime Minister for his own reasons to bring Mr Coulson into government?"
Mr Osborne replied: "I too am very sorry for the decision we made to employ Andy Coulson. He gave us assurances that turned out not to be the case.
"Knowing what we do now, it's clear that we made the wrong decision. It's important for the victims of phone hacking that this has now been properly dealt with by the courts."
The court heard the News of the World hired private detective Glenn Mulcaire, 43, to hack phones for around £100,000 a year.
He and Goodman were jailed in 2007.
The case was reopened in 2011 when lawyers for News International handed over a series of emails to police in the light of new evidence.
This included the revelation that the phone of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, 13, had been accessed.
Three more former journalists have admitted involvement with the private detective's phone hacking activity – news editor James Weatherup, chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck, and assistant editor Greg Miskiw.
They will be sentenced later, along with Coulson.

Stream Crossings
Activities Requiring a Fish Habitat Permit
Fish Habitat Permit Application & Instructions (PDF 69 kB)
Crossing streams or rivers may be necessary for cross-country equipment moves, gravel extraction, historical RS2477 trail crossings, or access for other reasons. If there are known anadromous fish populations in the stream being crossed, the physical act of driving through the gravels can potentially affect sensitive life stages of fish (e.g., salmon eggs, juvenile salmon, overwintering resident fish).
Many commonly used crossing locations are permitted with General Permits.
Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Habitat staff can help you to determine if your crossing will need to be permitted or not. Please contact the Habitat office closest to your location if your crossing area is not permitted by a General Permit.
Stipulations that may be included in a permit issued for stream crossings include:
- No cross-channel structure shall be constructed in this waterbody.
- In-stream activity in the XX, except for XX, is prohibited.
- Equipment crossings shall be made from bank to bank in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of stream flow.
- Equipment crossings shall be made only at locations with gradually sloping banks. There shall be no crossings at locations with sheer or cut banks.
- Banks shall not be altered or disturbed in any way to facilitate crossings. If stream banks are inadvertently disturbed, they shall be immediately stabilized to prevent erosion.
- No fill material shall be placed in XX Creek.
- Crossing of XX Creek shall occur only at existing historical crossings.
- Ice or snow bridges and approach ramps constructed at stream crossings must be substantially free of extraneous material (e.g., soil, rock, wood, or vegetation) and, if requested by Habitat, must be removed or breached before spring breakup.
- To avoid additional freeze-down of deep-water pools harboring overwintering fish, watercourses shall be crossed at shallow riffle areas from point bar to point bar.
- Compaction or removal of the insulating snowcover from the deep-water pool areas of rivers must be avoided. Habitat may authorize exceptions to this stipulation on a case-by-case basis if it determines the pool is deep enough to prevent complete freeze-down.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello and welcome to Just Answer!
My name is XXXXX XXXXX I can assist you with your question
Are you saying that the engine has stalled out but does not restart?
Does the engine crank over and not start?
Or does it not crank over at all?
What size engine do you have?
yes I tried some starting fluid to see if was ingition or fuel and ran until the fluid was gone
So the engine must have spark when cranking it over correct?
the engin cranks fine but will not start
Ok, if it runs on starting fluid, then it has spark when cranking it over
Have you checked fuel pressure or injector pulse?
yes I was wondering if it could be a crankshaft or cam sensor with out throwing a code
If the engine has spark when cranking it over, then the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors should be working
no, I did not ,but seems to hapen at low throttle if it had no injector pulse it would set a code
it all depends on the situation
how did you check for codes?
with a good code reader
ok, good
thank you for that information
If the engine runs on starting fluid, we know it has spark. This means we just have a fuel delivery condition
chances are you just have a bad fuel pump
it seems to happen more often when temp out side is high
that would make sense
in addition, this would not set a code in the computer
that is way I cant figer it out and that is why I changed the computer before and has not seemed to make a diferance
Ok, but if there is no fuel pressure, you might just have a bad fuel pump
this has nothing to do with the computer
That is why there is no codes
but if it fails to have fuel presure when engin is running it will set a code
there is no code for low fuel pressure
there is no code for low or no fuel pressure
so you think fuel presssure is the only thing it could be that would not set a code
and that fits with all the other systems
That is correct
the reason I ask is, it is on the road an I want to make sure I take all needed to fix it
I hear you and I agree
You are doing the right thing
Based on what your telling me, your fuel pump is bad and will need to be replaced
well thankyou and I will set out to fix it
Your welcome
Are you happy with my assistance today?
I just need to know if your happy with my help thus far?
Well, I guess I am going to step out of chat since your not repsonding
IF your happy with my assistance, please dont forget to honor your good faith deposit by rating my answer positively
You should see the rating system towards the bottom of the page
It has been a pleasure working with you

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
After showing your response to my partner, she was upset that maybe I didn't tell the whole story.
As in, it is 2-3 nights a week she will let him sleep with her in our bed.
She has been to the doctor, who claims that I am jealous of our son?
Does this make any difference to your previous answer??
we also have a 16 month old girl that 'I' think he play a bit to hard with.
I have also caught him tripping her up as she walks past at times, dont get me wrong, I know he loves her, but ' I ' seem to be the only one who sees this.
Not sure what to do?
As you will know, the wee one ends up in the bed with her too.
Hello again
I took the whole emails to the councillor that we see every Monday, and never even got a chance to bring it up.
My partner said that you are not even qualified and are working outside the UK.
She had plenty of other bad things to say about you and the bottom line was, you're wrong, she is right.
My partner has studied counselling, her mother is a supervisor and they both think they are right about everything.
We have now split and my world had been crushed.
I cannot put up with the constant belittling of myself and the way she parents the kids.

Foxfire Museum adds a rare German-style barn to its collection
Donated by Mr. Sam Beck, a native of the Warwoman community in eastern Rabun County, GA, this "four-pen, crossed-hall" log barn has stood on his family's property for generations. Foxfire curator Barry Stiles estimates that the barn was originally constructed around 1900, built from mostly clean, straight 8"-10" diameter pine logs. Four separate log structures measuring approximately 11' square, the "pens," make up the base of the barn and leave the namesake open hallways between them, similar to "dog trot" cabins like the Museum's Moore House. A few upper log rows running the full 31' length and width of the four pens tie the structure together and anchor the roofline covering the barn's massive hay loft. When first given to Foxfire in 2010, the barn was almost entirely clad with tin roofing, so the bulk of the structure had been well-protected from the elements for decades. Barry noted, "The cross-hall design is supposedly a German style…which is very unusual for this area."0 comments

Love these jars!
These jars are wonderful for storing food products, especially in areas that have humidity. We have a home right on the ocean, so I store crackers, cereal, etc. in these jars and they last far longer than they do in their original packaging. I also prefer storing items in glass rather than plastic. These have been perfect - very nice quality, secure lids, and they keep everything so neat looking.Read More
Great for flour storage
Very good quality! Fits a 1lb bag of flour perfectly for clean and neat fridge storage. The jars look shorter and wider than the picture, but I love them and the square shape is a space saver when lined up together in the fridge door shelf. They come with a separate rubber seal and so far seem high quality for my use.Read More

Citation: Wilson, F.A., Orellana, R.A., Suryawan, A., Nguyen, H.V., Jeyapalan, A.S., Frank, J., Davis, T.A. 2008. Stimulation of muscle protein synthesis by somatotropin in pigs is independent of the somatotropin-induced increase in circulating insulin. American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism. 295(1):E187-E194. Interpretive Summary: Administration of somatotropin, also known as growth hormone, stimulates growth by increasing the amount of protein in the body rather than by increasing fat. We have previously shown that somatotropin treatment increases the growth of skeletal muscle by increasing the synthesis of proteins in skeletal muscle, but the mechanism by which this occurs was not identified previously. Somatotropin administration also increases the circulating concentration of the hormone insulin, which is a known promoter of the synthesis of skeletal muscle proteins. Therefore, in this study we tested the hypothesis that the mechanism by which somatotropin increases the synthesis of muscle proteins is by increasing the circulating concentration of insulin, and we examined the molecules within the muscle that regulate the synthesis of proteins. We used a special technique, which we developed, to allow us to control the circulating levels of hormones, glucose, and amino acids in the blood, while we measured the synthesis of skeletal muscle proteins. We found that somatotropin treatment increase the synthesis of skeletal muscle proteins, but the mechanism by which this occurs does not involve the hormone insulin. We also identified the molecules within the cell that signal to the protein synthetic machinery that the synthesis of skeletal muscle proteins should be increased in response to somatotropin treatment. These studies are of importance to our understanding of the regulation of growth as well as to our development of a means to increase muscle mass in farm animals.
Technical Abstract: Chronic treatment of growing pigs with porcine somatotropin (pST) promotes protein synthesis and doubles postprandial levels of insulin, a hormone that stimulates translation initiation. This study aimed to determine whether the pST-induced increase in skeletal muscle protein synthesis was mediated through an insulin-induced stimulation of translation initiation. After 7–10 days of pST (150 µg·kg(–1)·day(–1)) or control saline treatment, pancreatic glucose-amino acid clamps were performed in overnight-fasted pigs to reproduce 1) fasted (5 µU/ml), 2) fed control (25 µU/ml), and 3) fed pST-treated (50 µU/ml) insulin levels while glucose and amino acids were maintained at baseline fasting levels. Fractional protein synthesis rates and indexes of translation initiation were examined in skeletal muscle. Effectiveness of pST treatment was confirmed by reduced urea nitrogen and elevated insulin-like growth factor I levels in plasma. Skeletal muscle protein synthesis was independently increased by both insulin and pST. Insulin increased the phosphorylation of protein kinase B and the downstream effectors of the mammalian target of rapamycin, ribosomal protein S6 kinase, and eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)4E-binding protein-1 (4E-BP1). Furthermore, insulin reduced inactive 4E-BP1·eIF4E complex association and increased active eIF4E·eIF4G complex formation, indicating enhanced eIF4F complex assembly. However, pST treatment did not alter translation initiation factor activation. We conclude that the pST-induced stimulation of skeletal muscle protein synthesis in growing pigs is independent of the insulin-associated activation of translation initiation.

Three men had a "lucky escape" from a blaze at a Catford home in the early hours of this morning (April 9).
21 firefighters and four fire engines were called to Further Green Road at 1.17 am and the flames were under control by 1.56am.
Half of the ground floor was damaged by the fire which three men fled before crews arrived. They were treated at the scene by London Ambulance Service staff.
London Fire Brigade watch manager Kevin Quinn, who was at the scene said: "The men had a very lucky escape as there was no working smoke alarm in property.
"It's absolutely essential that you have a working smoke alarm in your home and test it regularly. They can buy you vital seconds to escape in the event of a fire."
Firefighters from Lee Green, Lewisham, Feltham and Forest Hill fire stations attended the scene. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
