NESTLé is helping to trigger happy memories for dementia sufferers through a new online "reminiscence pack," featuring wrappers and packaging from its archives.
The York-based confectionery giant says the project was sparked by a flurry of queries from care groups, convinced that seeing the vintage packaging might help revive patients' positive recollections from their long-term memory.
The pack was produced with advice from the Alzheimer's Society, which is now testing it with two support groups running activities for people with dementia and their carers.
Wrappers from decades past are featured, including products which no longer exist, such as a "chocolate pie", which contained aerated malt milk chocolate and caramel, and a "Rowntree motoring bar", combining milk chocolate with fruit and nuts.
There are also images of tin labels, posters, photographs, chocolate boxes and one of the earliest examples of a Rowntree's Fruit Gums box.
Alison Cook, of the Alzheimer's Society, said using familiar objects from the past to help those with dementia remember could be a powerful tool.
"Even something as simple as an old sweet wrapper can bring back vivid memories from a happy time.
"This activity helps carers and loved ones to engage with people with dementia in a positive way, and has the potential to improve the quality of life for the 800,000 living with dementia in the UK," she said.
Nestlé spokesman James Maxton said that thanks to the dedicated work of generations of archivists and the generosity of employees and the public, the company had built up a large York-based archive, featuring some of the most famous brands in the world, and it was proud to use it to produce the memory pack.
"We are keen to share the contents of the archive with as wide an audience as possible and we are delighted to use some of our favourite artefacts to produce this online pack," he said.

Sales for the quarter increased 46% to 136m Swedish Kroner (about GBP 10 million) compared with the same period for 2004. 42 million came from the acquisition of online sportsbetting company Betson and over the 12-month period to the end of 2005, sales grew by 45% to 452 million.
Cherry last year divided the group into three groups: Cherry Online, which includes gaming portal Betsson and CasinoEuro.com, Net Entertainment, a turnkey provider and gambling software developer, and gaming machines provider Cherry Casino. These three divisions will each be independently listed.
Highlights from the report included the announcement that Betsson had achieved and surpassed its annual objective of 200,000 registered customers by the end of 2005.

There are a number of books written about how to present oneself at a job interview. Much of what they say is reasonable, although somewhat beside the point, I think. Among other things, they recommend:
They also recommend ways of addressing the interviewer: looking him in the eye, speaking in a loud, clear voice, sitting upright, smiling. I think this advice is likely to make the person being interviewed self-conscious. Besides, what is the purpose of these instructions? It is to paint a certain picture. That issue can be addressed more directly.
But first of all, if you are going for a job interview, ask yourself if you really want the job.
When I applied for a particular psychiatric residency, I told myself I did not want to pretend to be someone else for three or four years. Either they would want me the way I was, or they would not. It turned out they did not want me the way I was. I was sort of surprised. Later on, I realized I really wanted the job. If I had been willing to admit that to myself I would have presented myself differently—for one thing, I would not have told them I had been supporting myself by playing poker.
Some people don't seem to care one way or another if they get the job. Later in my career, when I was the Director of Psychiatric Training, and when I was the one hiring residents, I asked a particular applicant if she had read anything by Sigmund Freud.
"No," she told me, "but I saw a picture of him once."
Let's say, then, that you have decided you want this particular job, whatever it is. It may not be the ideal job for you, but given the fact that you are unemployed—or given the fact that it is a steppingstone to a better job—or given any number of other considerations—you want this job. Maybe next year you think you will be in line for a much different, much better job, but right now, you want this job. Then, you should present yourself as being exactly the kind of person they are looking for. Forget the person you happen to be. Do not think of how to emphasize your strong points, or minimize your short-comings. Think of how to appear to be the person they are looking for. Is it possible you might, then, have to lie? Maybe.
I had a patient who was being considered for a good job for which he was qualified, except that the job required his managing other workers.
"I can't do that," he told me. "I hate telling other people what to do."
"Do you want this job, or not?"
The patient nodded yes.
"Then you have to tell the interviewer that managing people is exactly what you like to do; and it is what you do best. Make up a couple of stories about when you helped someone confront a difficult problem at work. It can be fiction. Make up two stories. When you get to the interview, you have to lean forward and emphasize that managing people is one of your strengths." The fact is, I went on to tell him, we become the people we pretend to be. Being definite is, in fact, one element of being a good manager.
He told himself when he entered the interviewer's office that he was not going on a job interview; he was giving an acting performance—and he got the job.
In a way, both people in a job interview—the potential employer and the potential worker—are both lying all the time-- or exaggerating, if thinking of yourself as a liar is too awful to contemplate. The employer exaggerates the opportunities the job represents, the perks, the wonderful people who will be colleagues, the chance for advancement, and so on. The potential employee emphasizes (and exaggerates) his prior experience and skills, how much money he has made, and, in general, what a great guy he is. It is important for the person being interviewed not to lie outright in an obvious way, or about something that can be checked easily. Certainly, he/she should not pretend to having a particular academic degree. Such a misrepresentation is easily discovered. Also, the interviewee, if he is going to be acting. he should do a good job of it. He should not seem to be boasting. Even if he is telling the truth, he should not seem to be boasting.
I remember a psychiatrist who came to a job interview carrying the six or seven books he had written. He could have let on in some way during the interview that he had written books. Carrying them around made a bad impression.
At around the same time, a second job applicant made a bad impression on me for somewhat different reasons. I was sitting in an office with my feet up on the desk, as usual, when the director of our department showed this potentially new psychiatrist around. He mentioned in passing to this applicant that if he got the job, he would have the particular office I was sitting in. After leaving, a moment or two later, the man returned to give the office another look. That is not what we wanted in a psychiatrist—someone who cares about how his office looks. We did not hire him.
The individual being interviewed should be concerned about conveying certain attitudes about himself/herself. Dressing, talking and sitting properly will follow automatically. Besides the particular skills required by a particular job, there are certain qualities of mind and character that are desirable in any job applicant. This is the way you want to be—or seem to be:
If you can convince yourself that you are these things, you can readily convince an interviewer. Practice.
p.s. My patients, many of whom have an anxiety disorder, are particularly distressed by coming across in an interview as being nervous. Seeming to be nervous is okay. When I was the interviewer, I interpreted nervousness as a sign that the person in front of me really wanted the job. I did not think it reflected a kind of weakness.

Police say they will investigate complaints of racially motivated attacks on sections of the Indian community following an angry protest in Sydney's west last night.
About 150 young men gathered in the main street of Harris Park to protest a spate of recent assaults in the area targeting Indian students and migrants.
Police said the demonstration followed reports that an Indian man aged in his 20s was assaulted by a group of men of Middle Eastern appearance on Wigram Street just before 9pm.
The man involved received minor injuries and did not wish to pursue the matter.
But police were called back to the area a short time later after a number of Indian men allegedly bashed three men of Middle Eastern appearance in nearby Marion Street.
Paramedics treated those men for cuts and bruises, police said.
Meantime, the crowd on Wigram Street - a bustling strip of restaurants and food stores - had swelled to about 150 people, all chanting and protesting about a recent flare up of violence against the Indian community.
Late last month, 25-year-old Indian man Rajesh Kumar suffered burns to a third of his body after a petrol bomb was thrown through his bedroom window just a couple of blocks from where last night's protest occurred.
The hospitality graduate's house mates said then they had been robbed numerous times on their way home from work and grocery shopping.
The men's neighbours, many of whom were young migrant families, also told smh.com.au they felt unsafe in the area.
The police dog squad was called in to respond to last night's gathering, as well as officers from Holroyd and Rosehill local area commands.
Police said a smaller group of about 70 men then made their way to Parramatta police station to complain about recent treatment of the Indian community.
They were moved on without incident, police said. Officers were investigating the community's concerns.

RSS Just Better Usage
I am unable to get this plugin to work…
I am using the shortcode, which displays as a shortcode in the page, instead of generating a list.
Are there plans to update for 3.04/3.1?
Would be great!
Plugin Author Stef
Hallo there, I am the author and just seen your message.
The problem you mention seems more a plugin activation or improper usage issue instead of being a problem with the shortcode itself. Have you tried with other shortcodes like the native RSS from wp?
I have uploaded a new version today. Not sure if it would make a difference for you.
Thanks for your message.
Using WP 3.3. Can't even figure out the shortcode from the read-me file. Seems to require more php knowledge than I know. Also the widget crashed my browser.
Hi Cat,
I'm the owner of the Plugin.
Can you please specify what browser/version do you use? And what feed, parameters were you trying to use it?
Can you also show me the page you want to display the plugin onto.
I am not sure what you meant by being unable to figure out the shortcode in the readme.txt file but the same explanation is also displayed here:
No php knowledge is necessary for the use of this or other plugins.
Hi. I did get your message, in my email inbox. I hit the reply button and sent a reply, but of course you didn't get it, because the "no-reply" indication isn't very visible in the email WordPress sends. Here's what I wrote back:
I'm using Firefox 9.0.1 on a Macbook Pro. WordPress generated feed.
This is the confusing bit in your page instructions:
"enter [RSSjb feed="…"] where "…" is any rss or atom feed you wish to display;"
I realize now you must want us to replace those ellipses with the feed's URL. Am I guessing correctly? If so, you may want to say so explicitly, so folks don't have to guess.
Anyhow, I want to put the link in the top menu. I don't think your plug-in has the ability to do that, at least not on my theme, which requires any linked element added to that top menu to be either a category or a page. I want it to be visible regardless of which page the viewer is on.
As an alternative, I tried putting it in the sidebar, but the widget returned some kind of 500 error. It didn't crash my browser, unlike what I said above. The browser was fine, but I did think it had crashed my blog. Fortunately, I was able to remove the widget and everything was restored.
Finally, I want to link my own feed, not someone else's. I'm not sure your plugin has the ability to do that either. Anyhow, I've had problems determining what my feed's URL is when trying other plugins. Nothing I've tried seems to work. Oh well.
Thanks for writing – good luck –
Cat, thank for your email.
> This is the confusing bit in your page instructions:

> I realize now you must want us to replace those ellipses with the feed's URL. Am I guessing correctly? If so, you may want to say so explicitly, so folks don't have to guess.
Would something like this be better:
> enter the following:
[RSSjb feed="rss-or-atom-feed's-URL-you-wish-to-display"]
My plugin can link to any properly formatted rss-feed.
About displaying the plugin on the header of your wp-site, it is always possible for every wp plug-in not only mine. You need however to edit the PHP file where you want your plugin to be displayed. You need very limited knowledge of PHP programming…
If you tell me what theme do you use and exactly where do you want my plugin to be displayed, I might give you detailed instructions on how to do it.
speak you soon.
PS I might also give a look to the 500 error you talk me about by knowing the theme…
Stef – thanks for replying.
1) Yes, the instructions are clearer now, regarding substituting URL.
2) I use TheMorningAfter by WooThemes. I was excited about your plugin, because I really want to be able to strip out the date and time stamp in the resulting feed excerpts when anyone clicks on my RSS feed. So I was hoping to be able to substitute your plugin for the WP-installed "view this section's RSS" link, even as a widget in the primary sidebar.
A further issue has arisen. I just upgraded to 3.3.1 and now all of my RSS links are returning error messages. Something got left out of the upgrade that my theme needs. I hope this is the only thing.
Dear Cat,
I installed your theme on a test site of mine and all is ok. Both in version 3.3 and 3.3.1
i installed my plugin on the header (i'll show how to do) and as widget. (2 times)
About this:
> So I was hoping to be able to substitute your plugin for the WP-installed "view this section's RSS" link, even as a widget in the primary sidebar.
In the standard theme, there is no "view this section's RSS" maybe you can contact me via email and show me your website and/or feed in you do not to show it publicly.
Speak you later
I see. I misunderstood. I don't want my RSS feed to show up on my page. I just want to be able to link to it. Usually, if you click the RSS links that come with WP, you'll get a separate page where you can do two things: see the feed, and subscribe to it.
I want to be able to retain these features, without the time and date stamps showing up on the resulting page.
Plus I think my RSS is screwed up – every link returns this error:
Warning: require_once(/home/user/domain/wp-includes/feed-rss2.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/domain/wp-includes/theme.php on line 1115
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/user/domain/wp-includes/feed-rss2.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear') in /home/user/domain/wp-includes/theme.php on line 1115
and I have to figure out how to fix it. I don't suppose you know what it means?
Thanks again.
Hey Stef –
Update: I resolved my RSS error message issue. I've got the links working again. But I still want to:
1) Link to my RSS feed without showing any feed posts on the page (WP's widget doesn't have a "display no posts" option – I have to display at least 1).
2) Link to my RSS feed page with each post's time/date stamp stripped.
Thanks again!
Hi Cat,
First of all, about this:
>> Usually, if you click the RSS links that come with WP, you'll get a separate page where you can do two things: see the feed, and subscribe to it.
I am afraid you are incorrect: wp does not come with an RSS link as standard. Themes are normally adding RSS links to feeds on the header. Also, the separate page where you see the feed and subscribe is again something which is not standard to WP you must be using a plugin or a widget (not the standard RSS widget). Do you maybe use feedsreader?
Then about 1) & 2) you need to take 2 action
a) You may want to make in a way to replace the standard display of the RSS feed's posts (which depends by Internet Explorer as far as I know) with the way my widget displays them. To do this you need to create a new page in wp you call RSS display or something and use my shortcode [RSSjb…] in that page. This solve the displaying the rss without date/time (issue 2)
b) You might want to edit the php file which contains the link to the RSS feed's URL and change it to the link to the page created in a) this solve issue 1) partially as you just link to your own feed posts but not to a subscription page.
Let me know if you need further informastion.
Hey Stef –
I'm not using an RSS plugin. I only have 2 plugins installed – a contact form and an email subscription form, but not one for RSS.
My RSS is definitely built in, but it might be a theme component, rather than WP. You can actually see its toggle-display option on the demo you posted for me, by going to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Theme Options. It's a component of the archive page template code too. That's why I assumed it was part of the WP codex.
Sorry, the instructions you wrote to answer my "needs" are a bit garbled. I didn't follow all of them too well.
Regardless, I do want to maintain the "Subscribe" option for my users. I might just need to leave it alone, but it sure would be nice to get rid of that time/date stamp.
Thank you for engaging with me on this!
Yes, it is a theme component and my plugin cannot work/interfere with what the theme does.
Good luck and welcome.

CARACAS, Venezuela (Sep. 27)
The majority of North Africa's 100,000 Jews are likely to emigrate as "scapegoat victims" of the recent Middle East war, the B'nai B'rith International Council was told today at the final session of its annual four day meeting.
Maurice A. Weinstein, Council chairman, reported a "large-scale exodus" already under way from the dwindling North African Jewish communities because of a "widening cleavage" between the Jewish and Moslem populations, even in countries whose governments have taken strong measures to protect their Jewish inhabitants.
He cited the Jewish community of Tunisia, which had a population of 20,000 before the war and which is now shrinking at the rate of 1,000 departures for France per month, in spite of the protective measures taken by the government of President Habib Bourguiba. The government is assisting the Jews to emigrate, he added.
He reported "increasing anxiety" among Morocco's 60,000 Jews, despite King Hussein's "firm efforts" to forestall anti-Jewish eruptions following the mob violence at the height of the Arab-Israeli crisis. "Economic boycotts organized by private groups are persuading large numbers to seek ways of leaving Morocco," Mr. Weinstein declared.
He said recent reports from Egypt estimate 400 to 500 Jewish "heads of household" still imprisoned in Cairo and some 80 others in Alexandria, "all of whom — Egyptian nationals — have been maltreated." Some 3,000 Iraqi and 4,000 Syrian Jews, he said, are living "with harassments and discriminations" and are not permitted to "exist" in their respective countries, "although the Syrian government is reported to have detailed security police to protect its Jews." His survey also reported that 3,100 of the 5,000 Jews who lived in Libya before the war have since migrated, with government assistance, as an aftermath of the riots.
The need for parish-level Implementation of the Vatican's new ecumenical policies was stressed by delegates from countries with large Catholic populations at an earlier session. At the same time, they reported marked improvement in Roman Catholic-Jewish relations in many parts of the world as a result of the Vatican Council's declaration on Jews, and said it had eliminated a major source of anti-Semitism. The delegates also reported that the relationship of their communities with church leaders was reaching levels of discussion which "create a mutual respect that grows out of candid confrontation."
They added, however, that there remains "continuing need for Vatican intent to reach those parish levels where priests and teachers, steeped in past traditions of the Church, have either not learned of, or choose to ignore, Church revisions."
Benjamin R. Epstein, director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, told the Council that recent events had shown that "any nation of a monolithic Catholic community is fantasy" and that "liberal Catholic communities are growing in number, articulation and influence."
The Council, in a resolution, called upon the Soviet Union to permit emigration of Jews "who wish for family or other personal reasons to do so." The statement expressed B'nai B'rith's "good wishes for peace and cooperation to the Soviet people" on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Soviet Revolution of 1917.
A delegation from the convention, headed by Dr, William A, Wexler, president of B'nai B'rith, was received by Raul Leoni, President of Venezuela. The President told the group that Venezuela "will seek to uphold peace in the Middle East." He affirmed his government's view that "Israel should be recognized as a sovereign state, and its integrity guaranteed."

Jetstar Offers Respite to NZ Emergency Workers
24 March 2011
Jetstar Offers Respite to NZ Emergency Workers and Their Families With Rugby League-Inspired Holiday to the Gold Coast
Low fares leader Jetstar has joined a major collaborative partnership through Rugby League to support disaster affected communities helping rebuild people's lives across Queensland and in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Jetstar alongside the National Rugby League, New Zealand Rugby League and the Jetstar Gold Coast Titans, with support from the Queensland Government, will assist 250 fans from Christchurch to be part of a unique Rugby League double header on the weekend of 6-8 May 2011.
The flight partnership will specifically target emergency crew and their families in Christchurch for a unique sporting holiday experience on Queensland's Gold Coast.
The Gold Coast will host for the first time host a Rugby League Test between Australia and New Zealand on Friday 6 May, followed by the NRL clash between the Jetstar Gold Coast Titans and New Zealand Warriors on Sunday 8 May.
Jetstar will assist in bringing 250 fans from Christchurch, the original venue for the match, to the Gold Coast free of charge, and they will stay on for the NRL match on the Sunday.
People selected will fly on Jetstar from Christchurch to/from the Gold Coast and Brisbane, stay in accommodation provided by the Australian Timeshare Industry, visit the Gold Coast theme parks and attend the Mother's Day weekend Rugby League double-header – all generously donated.
The low fares leader anticipates that emergency service personnel, including from the Police, Fire, Ambulance and Defence services and Volunteers in the rebuilding of Christchurch, would fly to attend both Rugby League matches combined as part of a well deserved travel break on the iconic Gold Coast.
Jetstar Group CEO Bruce Buchanan said Jetstar's support to this event was all about reaching out to the people of Christchurch and specifically those working on the city's rebuilding or in a critical support services capacity by offering respite through a sporting holiday break.
"Christchurch stands by the city and the people of Christchurch and the Canterbury region, and we are committed for the long term to lending our support and opportunities. The city marked Jetstar's foundation in New Zealand and we are thrilled to play our part in this fantastic sport tourism event that's also about directly helping people."
"Some of the heroes of the Christchurch community we want to help bring them to the Gold Coast to see the trans Tasman's leading Rugby League players in action. This will be a wonderful coming together, through adversity of people and sport, for one great weekend on the Gold Coast.
ARL Chief Executive, Mr Geoff Carr, said: "These games will provide a stage to honour the courage and spirit of all those people whose lives have been affected by the floods, Cyclone Yasi and the Christchurch earthquake."
New Zealand Rugby League Chief Executive, Mr Jim Doyle, said the entire Test week would be memorable for both its historic significance and for the chance to provide a little cheer for some people from Christchurch and Queensland.
The Queensland Government has given its support to send a clear message that the state is back in business as a sporting and tourist destination and thousands of interstate and overseas visitors are also expected to take advantage of special ticket packages for the double-header weekend.
In 2009, Jetstar flew more than 50 children from families who were affected in the Victorian bushfires up to the Gold Coast to put a smile on the face of young kids who had lost so much.

Quentin Tarantino's next movie was supposed to be a western called The Hateful Eight . He gave it to six people to read and it leaked.
In an interview with Deadline 's Mike Fleming Jr. the director says "I gave it to one of the producers on Django Unchained , Rennie Hudlin, and he let an agent come to his house and read it. That's a betrayal, but not crippling because the agent didn't end up with the script. There is an ugly maliciousness to the rest of it. I gave it to three actors: Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Tim Roth. The one I know didn't do this is Tim Roth. One of the others let their agent read it, and that agent has now passed it on to everyone in Hollywood. I don't know how these bleeping agents work, but I'm not making this next."
Quentin says he will now publish the script instead and start working on a different movie.
Interestingly, it's not so much the fact that the script was leaked as the feeling of betrayal that's bothering him: "I am not talking out of both sides of my mouth, because I do like the fact that everyone eventually posts it, gets it and reviews it on the net. Frankly, I wouldn't want it any other way. I like the fact that people like my bleep, and that they go out of their way to find it and read it. But I gave it to six mother-bleeping people!"
And, not that he's full of vengeance or anything, but ...
"I hadn't given it to Christoph [Waltz], I haven't given it to Sam Jackson. I gave it to three mother-bleeping actors. We met in a place, and I put it in their hands. Reggie Hudlin's agent never had a copy. It's got to be either the agents of Dern or Madsen. Please name names."

Running the rolling openSUSE Factory has been smooth so far, no problems since the last post.
I have been involved in submitting new packages (ftop, dstat, some perl modules), patching other's existing packages (dnsmasq) and of course taking after packages that I maintain (btrfsprogs). With a very few exceptions I've got done everything I needed, the exceptions were my rather silly mistakes. The damage is only the first few seconds when one realizes that the submit request was 'rejected'. Don't get bored by it, grab a coffee or go fix it later. Need to say the rejects are backed by a reason or explanation what's wrong and what should be fixed in the next attempt. Learn from that, take notes, read the docs again. Once this becomes common, the amount of basic mistakes is near to zero, the self-checks become a routine. This makes a happy contributor and the distro maintainers too.
I recommend to skim the factory snapshots announcements, look at the changes or scroll down to the newly added ones. One day you can see your contributions there, go for it.
Before something goes to the Factory distro, the packages are getting ready in the devel projects. I've asked for maintainership of filesystems and benchmark projects and did some fixing in packages I use or at least recognize. The state of the projects is not 'all-green', build failures exist, but without some motivation I'm not rushing to fix them.
If you are interested (as a user) in a package from those devel projects, feel free to bug me about it. I can help with fixing build failures or submitting to Factory.
All of the above is a routine. A routine of making the distro better on the core side. There's never enough of it and it may become boring (oh it does) over time. Out of the many research projects and experimenting I do, I decided to focus on one that's definetely related to openSUSE, is fun, is important, useful and is not there yet.
openSUSE hardening!
"No way, really? But there's AppArmor and SElinux enabled and the compile-time hardening options."
Yeah. I won't repeat the arguments why AppArmor and SElinux are insufficient, functionally or usability-wise. So what's left? Grsecurity, of course. Sadly openSUSE lacks even the unofficial grsecurity-patched kernels unlike Arch, Debian or Gentoo. Sadly2, the patched kernels are unofficial and will remain at that state until grsec is upstream. I don't dare to predict if/when this will happen.
I'm aware of only the NetSecL distribution based on openSUSE that offered the grsec kernels, but it's discontinued.
My hardening efforts got the codename openSUSE-gardening and are hosted in my github repository of the same name. The wiki contains more comprehensive information. It's still work in progress and does not cover all topics in detail but should be enough to get started.
Quite unexpectedly, spender found the repo and gave it a bit of publicity on twitter. Thanks man 🙂
My plan was to update all relevant packages, test the kernels a bit, update the wiki and then post about that here. Nah, I got the right kick to do it now.
Quick start is really simple, a pattern that installs all necessary packages for a desktop use:
One-click install for 13.1
One-click install for Factory
Note, you'll probably need to run linux-pax-flags before the first reboot, it will apply PaX flag exceptions, some binaries may crash due to the protections (like window manager processes, browsers). Once the zypper plugin is properly installed, the flags get updated automatically.
Warning: the patched kernel has not been extensively tested, works for me, might not work for you.
To be continued …

Brandi Glanville is leaving little to the imagination when it comes to her relationship with her new man, Donald "DJ" Friese.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star posed completely nude in an NSFW photo her beau posted on Instagram Monday. In it, the couple is laying on a bed with no clothes on as their shadows and limbs are careful not to expose too much (other than some side-boob and a little bit of booty).
We can see Friese gripping Glanville's bare behind as his head pokes up over her shoulder. Most of her face is hidden by her arm.
Friese captioned the photo, "Loving my V-Day Present," alongside the hashtags, "#reflection #nofilter #bodyart."
Though Glanville didn't share the nude photo, she did take to her own social media account to shout out to her man. Sharing a more, er, covered-up version of the pic, the reality star sits beside Friese on the same bed, wearing a plunging pink dress as she cuddles up close to him and rests her hand between his legs. Friese wears a dark suit and smirks while snapping the mirror selfie.
"Missing my V date mr @djfriese," she wrote.
Meanwhile, the couple made their red carpet debut earlier this month, making things official after dating for five months.
They met on Tinder, and though she's dated casually here and there, this marks Glanville's first real relationship following her divorce from Eddie Cibrian in 2010.

House leaders to vote on Thursday on $4 billion in food stamp cuts
WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders are working to line up votes for nearly $4 billion in annual food stamp cuts, but some GOP moderates are questioning if that is too much.
The savings would be achieved by allowing states to put broad new work requirements in place for many food stamp recipients and to test applicants for drugs. The House is scheduled to vote on the bill on Thursday.
The bill would end government waivers that have allowed able-bodied adults who don't have dependents to receive food stamps indefinitely.
Conservatives have said the almost $80 billion-a-year program has become bloated. More than 47 million Americans, or 1 in 7, are on food stamps, and the program's cost has more than doubled in the past five years as the economy has struggled.
But finding a compromise — and the votes — to scale back the feeding program has been difficult. Conservatives have insisted on larger reductions, while Democrats have been united in opposition and moderate Republicans from areas with high food stamp usage have been wary of efforts to slim the program.
"I think the cuts are too drastic and too draconian," says Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y., who represents Staten Island, which was hard-hit by Hurricane Sandy last year. "Those that really need the program will suffer."
Grimm says he plans to vote against the bill.
Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, also plans a "no" vote, according to his spokesman, Michael Anderson. He said Young is concerned about the impact the cuts could have on people in his state's poorest, most rural areas.
With some Republicans wavering, the vote could be close. The GOP leaders have been reaching out to moderates to ensure their support while anti-hunger groups have similarly worked to garner opposition.
The food stamp legislation is the House's effort to finish work on a wide-ranging farm bill, which has historically included farm programs and food stamps. The House Agriculture Committee approved a combined bill this year, but it was defeated on the floor in June after conservatives revolted, saying the cuts to food stamps were not high enough. That bill included about $2 billion in reductions annually.
After the farm bill defeat, Republican leaders split the legislation in two and passed a bill in July that included only farm programs. They promised to deal with the food stamp bill later, with deeper cuts.
Republicans have emphasized that the bill targets able-bodied adults who don't have dependents and would allow states to implement work requirements that are similar to the 1996 welfare law that led to a decline in people receiving that government assistance.

According to the box, this is the "first true rally simulation game" - no mean boast given the quality of its predecessors.
But from the very start, it is clear Richard Burns Rally is going to live up to its bold claim.
The budding rally driver is encouraged to visit the driving school and learn how to mix it like a pro before being let loose in competition.
The driving school is very engaging indeed. Former world champion Richard Burns talks you through a series of classes and evaluates your progress as you go. The tasks get steadily more difficult but you get to unlock new lessons upon their completion.
Once you have passed five lessons successfully you can enter a rally. If you take as long as I did to qualify, expect to hear the dawn chorus outside when you finally make it.
Once you have started the season, you have the chance to try out the routes before you race. Then, having adjusted which tyres you're going to use, you're on your own!
In the rally itself, you are competing against other drivers' times - with speed, skill and judgement required just to complete the course competently, never mind get a good time.
Your co-driver's pace notes obviously help, but time spent investigating each stage beforehand is invaluable.
Anyone wanting to do battle with their friends is catered for in multi-player mode, where up to four people can compete on various stages from all over the world.
Competitors take it in turns to get the best times on each stage with the option to have a ghost car if you want it (this is a transparent car that outlines another player's progress on that stage).
The graphics are excellent, with some nice attention to detail. Drive your vehicle in bad conditions and you can expect to see raindrops on your windscreen - plus a fair few puddles to boot.
The cars handle realistically and take some getting used to, as too much steering at high speeds will inevitably end up sending you into a spin.
You can choose manual or automatic transmission and have a choice of three different viewing positions: behind the windscreen, the front of the bonnet or six feet back from the car.
Arcade racers may get frustrated with the fact that this is a simulation and you really are racing to improve your personal best rather than against other drivers, but as far as faithfully recreating the rally experience and giving the player a glimpse of life out there on the muddy road, it really doesn't get any better than this.
Now, I wonder if I can get my wife off it long enough to give me another go...

According to our friends at NJOE, the Random House Site has the paperback reprint of the ninth and final LOTF novel, Invincible, slated for December 30, 2008. If you recall, James Luceno's Millenium Falcon is to be released that day as well. It is likely that this is to draw people to read that then Falcon, as it is set two years after the events of Invincible (43 ABY). No information on what, if anything, will be included in the back yet though.
Our Release Schedule has been updated with this information for your convenience.

Many health problems cause confusion or decreased
alertness. It is not unusual for a person who is sick to be sleepy or confused
when he or she wakes up. But extreme sleepiness may be a symptom of a more
serious health problem.
Confusion may range
from mild to severe. Symptoms of confusion may include:
Decreased alertness occurs when a
person is not fully awake, aware of, or able to respond normally to his or her
external environment. Decreased alertness may also mean that a chronic illness
has gotten worse.
A sudden change in the mental state or level of
consciousness may be caused by:
Other problems that may lead to confusion or decreased
alertness include:
A complete medical examination may be needed before the cause
of your confusion or decreased alertness can be diagnosed. Treatment depends on
the cause of the problem. Contact your doctor for an exam if you are having
problems with confusion or decreased alertness.

South Connellsville Borough to hold 'Christmas Celebration'
It will be a big "Christmas Celebration" in South Connellsville Borough on Saturday night as Santa arrives at the playground for a visit and brings one of his reindeer.
"This is an evening for friends and families to get into the spirit of the holiday," Mayor Pete Casini said. "The kids always have a great time."
The event begins at 5 p.m., with ballot pickup at the playground pavilion for those who want to take a "light drive" through the borough to enjoy all the beautifully decorated homes. Those who want to cast votes for the best displays must use the official ballot and return it to the pavilion. Residents were able to sign up to participate in the Light Up Contest at no charge this year by registering at the borough building.
Santa will arrive at 6 p.m. for photos; the first 100 children receive a gift from him. A live reindeer will be there, too.
To add to the festive atmosphere, horse-drawn buggy rides can be enjoyed and hot chocolate, s'mores, hot dogs and snacks will be sold. Attendees don't have to worry about the temperature because several fire pits will be available for warming up.
"We like to add something new to this annual 'Christmas Celebration' every year," said Karen Holbrook, one of the event planners and South Connellsville Borough councilwoman. "Children will be able to make an ornament to be put on the borough's Christmas tree displayed in front of the Honor Roll."
Saturday also will be the last chance for residents to purchase $2 tickets for a 51-inch plasma TV and an Apple iPad. Winners will be drawn at 9 p.m. and they do not have to be present to win. Those who want to purchase tickets in advance can stop in through Friday at the borough building.
There are many Chinese auction baskets to win. They also will be drawn and given away at 9 p.m.
"All proceeds from the event go into our Playground Improvement Fund," Holbrook said. "We have made many updates to the playground so far and have many more coming."
She noted that the concession stand has a new roof; the walking trail has a new surface; there is a new play set for the kids. "We have a lot more planned for the near future, including a fence around the basketball court and a pavilion in the playground area.
"I really think of this space as our Community Park rather than just a playground," she continued. "People use the walking trail every day. We have flea markets in the summer. This is a space that everyone enjoys and we want to make it a place for families to use for many years."
Jackson-Hewitt Tax Service has been coming to the South Connellsville Centennial Committee events for several years, holding a coat drive for donations of any new or gently used coats in any size. The coats are then donated to a local charity.
The finale of the "Christmas Celebration" will be a fireworks display at 9 p.m., weather-permitting.
"I want to invite everyone to join us at the playground Saturday night for an evening of family fun," Casini said.
The event is organized and sponsored by the South Connellsville Borough Centennial Committee.

Think about great leaders past and present. Now think about what each accomplished. Almost certainly, each great leader is remembered for creating change.
To drive this point home, try to name a great leader who is known for maintaining the status quo. I am pretty certain you cannot name even one.
The reason you cannot is that leadership is about change. This conclusion is equally important whether you are the owner/leader of the farm or a manager who is supervising employees. In either case, you are a leader — and leadership is about change. And while there aren't very many ways to gauge how much your employees trust you, one good test is to lead them through a change.
(It doesn't have to be a big change, though we typically think of on-farm changes as big — an expansion, adding acreage or hiring a new herd manager. In fact, we would be remiss if we forgot about the day-to-day changes that are required to continually improve your farm's operations.)
But let's get back to this leadership test idea. To successfully implement change, it is important to understand how people — in this case, your employees — react to change. Especially pertaining to changes at work, most people go through a four-step process as follows:
1. Denial. The more the person sees a change as negatively impacting them, the longer they may remain in denial. Denial can be very powerful and seemingly irrational at times. As a leader, it is crucial that you understand that this is only a step. When people are in denial, let them be. This step will pass, usually very quickly.
2. Resistance. As they move into resistance, usually quickly — an hour, a day, maybe more for a major change — it is time to listen and to be empathic… to walk in their shoes. Let them know you can see the issues from their point of view, and that you are open to their concerns.
3. Exploration. They are now warming up to the change and are logically considering how it will impact them. Now is the time to solicit their opinions in how best to move forward.
4. Commitment. Let's go! The person experiencing the change is ready for the change and committed to it. Now is the time to ask for their help to implement the change and perhaps help others get to this step.
The time it takes to move through the four steps will depend upon the magnitude of the change and the perception of the person involved in the change as to whether it is good or bad for him or her personally and/or professionally.
Engaged employees who feel that you have led them confidently and adeptly in the past will go through these steps quickly. This is a direct result of the high level of engagement and trust between a leader and those being asked to change. Of course, leading your employees through change is more than an exercise to gauge their trust in you — it's ultimately about what's best for your operations. And the greater the engagement and the trust level, the faster they commit — resulting in a more immediate, positive result.
Leadership Lesson: Your employees' trust can be measured by how quickly they adapt when you lead them to a change they must make.

Average Salary: $43,480
With any luck, most of us won't see a dead body too often, and on the rare occasion when we do, it will be at a memorial service. In this context, the deceased has been cleaned up, dressed immaculately and made to look as though he or she is merely sleeping, an effect achieved for the benefit of the living by the embalmer.
Embalming dates back to mankind's earliest cultures. As the years have passed, the art has undergone scientific advances that have made it safer and more sanitary for its practitioners. Be that as it may, many people just don't want to hang around dead bodies all day, and the vocation is perceived as creepy by wide swaths of the population.
The median annual salary for embalmers is $43,480, according to a May 2010 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Rocket girls fall a little off target
Having more Rockford boys basketball players take part in the scoring in recent games sparked the Rockets to three straight wins, upping the record to 6-2.
Last week Rockford rolled to victories over Norwood-Young America 88-51 and West Lutheran 70-57. In each of the last three games Rockford had four players score in double figures.
Last Thursday the Rockets took down a strong team from Norwood-Young America, dominating the second half to win by 37 points after taking an 8-point halftime lead.
"Norwood beat Watertown by 19 and Maple Lake by 37," said coach Michael Tauber. "It was unreal how they put up 40 3-point shots against Maple Lake. We went with an extended zone defense and they only shot 3 for 18 from long range. We contested every shot and killed them on the boards, outrebounding them 39-22."
Offensively, Rockford shot 65 percent from 2-point range and shot 56 percent overall. Joe Agree got the Rockets off to a fast start by making his first three shots, all 3-pointers. And then he injured his ankle and missed the rest of the game.
Four other Rockets picked up the pace. Brock Deering led the charge with 22 points and 15 rebounds, followed by Jeremy Bingham (14) Brendon Schumacher (12), and Thomas Traen (11). Nick Tully added seven assists at point guard.
Tauber was worried that the game would be the first time all season his team faced a zone defense. The Rockets were able to knock down shots and often beat defenders up the floor before they could get into the zone.
Rockford defeated West Lutheran Saturday after building a 49-28 halftime lead. Scoring leaders were Deering (17), Bingham (15), Schumacher (14) and Tully (14). Traen added seven points.
The Rockets head to defend its title at the St. James Tournament, starting at 2:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 27 against Morris. Last year Rockford had one win when facing undefeated Morris and won in overtime. A win could put Rockford against St. James Dec. 28, a team that is unbeaten and averages 83 points per game. The next home game is Friday, Jan. 3 against Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted.
Shots were falling when Rockford's girls basketball team defeated Pierz 66-55 last week. Shots were more off target in the 46-37 loss to Holdingford Friday and a narrow 42-41 loss to West Lutheran Saturday.
Against Pierz, Sam Bagaason hit for 18 points, while Abby Botten and Caitlin McNeal both scored 13 points and Jordan Wedding had 10.
"We were up two at the half but came out with the win based on how the defense responded in the second half," said coach James Carr. "I was also happy how the girls made the extra pass to their teammates, leading to easy baskets."
Weeding returned to action after missing the Delano game with a strained back. The Rockets are still without junior Brianna Calder, who suffered a concussion in the first game. She expected to return for the Jordan holiday tournament.
"We lost a close one to Holdingford when for some reason those open looks that were going in for us stopped going in," adds Carr. "Lili Lee was a spark off the bench. "She played the whole second half because she was the one player shooting with confidence."
Lee was the lone Rocket scoring in double figures with 10 points. Bagaason had nine points, Botten seven and Weeding four.
Rockford had the lead most of the game against West Lutheran until the end when fouling with two seconds to play and the score tied at 41. One free throw won the game. Once again, shots were not finding the net, including missed layups and free throws.
"Early in the season we had a flow where if one player was not scoring someone else did," adds Carr. "In the last couple of games we had the bug where shots don't go in for everybody."
Weeding powered the offense with 16 points. Nugi Lee scored eight points and sisters Allison and Caitlin McNeal both had five points.
Rockford (1-5) will face Rogers, 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 27 in the first round of the Jordan Tournament. The second round is Dec. 28. The team plays at Watertown-Mayer, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 4.

Uploading a full-length copyrighted DVD is a process, starting with contacting firstname.lastname@example.com. Know what copyrighted material you want to use. We will then look into if we have streaming rights for the DVD or if we are able to obtain them.
If you have already obtained permission for streaming you will need to share that with us.
Other options to consider:
Any media you would like to be uploaded needs to be from a legally obtained copy, owned or licensed by the Linfield Libraries.

Please make your requests well in advance; allow a minimum of 1 week. It is possible it could take more or less time based on how many requests we have. If we do not own a copy of the video or audio and the library needs to purchase the item it could take significantly longer, 6-8 weeks.
Please post a notice for your students that the course includes some material under copyright. This notice should be placed on your main course page or syllabus and near the copyright material.
As part of putting media online, we will ask when you need the media up and when you will be finished with it.

A multiplatform module playing library, and a tracker project, written in Free Pascal. Intended to achieve near 100% compatibility with the two classic and most popular trackers from the DOS era - Impulse Tracker 2.14 and Fast Tracker 2.
Other Useful Business Software
User Ratings
User Reviews
This is a promising project for the pascal community . I am downloading every day a updated version of this library and i am checking, how good can it play modules (converting to wav). I am comparing it against modplug. Winamp still have some bugs in playing of modules. I think, in the current version can tralala-library play about 50% of modules correctly and this number will go up. As a output can be used OpenAL which is multiplatform software too, so we can easy create multiplatform module player. Nickysn, good work and good luck to finish this project.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Pros: the engine runs strong...so far
Cons: the drop in quality of the izuzu product
Advice: stay away....stay far awayAfter about 6 months the front end began to rattle.Now after 1yr and 9 months it sounds like the front axles or some part of the suspention is going to fall out,and the front tires have began to bounce like two huge rabbits under my fenders anytime i go over a sharp bump.The transmission has developed a whinny sound you can hear in the last row of this 7 passenger disaster.(you know the sound,like a childs electric car that they ride in?)Well it's been 3 trips to the dealers repair shop #4 this monday. Too bad Izuzu sold it's sense quality breaking into the upper end suv's. I have owned izuzu before ..never again.
Pros: 2WD, 4WD, 4WD LO, and AWD available on the fly.
Cons: lack of side airbag canopy
Advice: You get more features for you money in this Isuzu model, vs, Pilot, Highlander, Santa Fe, Xterra, Escape, etc.I test drove over a dozen SUVs in the small to mid size category. I had never driven a Isuzu until today and I bought it. I found the features competitive or better than other SUVs in the market. It didn't have everything I wanted, so if Isuzu is listening, please add the side airbag canopy, otherwise I love it. Best features: it has 2WD, AWD, and 4WD availabe on the fly, 6-disc CD changer, large comfortable seats, powerful engine with reasonable gas mileage for its size. I recommend it.
Pros: The overall look! The outside and inside breathes luxury even though the Ascender is not a luxury SUV .
Cons: I'm 6'2' and the bucket seats are little bit stiff and uncomfortable. About a 7 out of 10.
Advice: Not all affordable cars are perfect. I rate the Ascender 8 out of 10. A definate must buy.We were looking for a SUV for sometime and for one reason or another we could never agree on the same one...Until the Ascender. The test drive was great! Took a little getting used to after driving a camero for the last 11 years. Gas mileage isn't great but if you want gas mileage, buy a civic. The car rides smooth and handles potholes very well. You sit above the traffic and get a great view of your surroundings. Parking is at a premium in Hawaii but the Ascender handles all parking stalls with ease. The dual climate control is great and cools the car down in record time. The car doesn't surpress the outside noise well but thats alright. Just play The Allman Brothers Greatest Hits on the CD player and drowned out all the outside distractions.
Pros: Compass & temp. in rearview mirror, smooth ride, heated seats, memory settings.
Cons: There are no controls on the steering wheel and the seats are a little hard.
Advice: Shop around, there's no better suv out there with all these options for this price.This SUV drives like a dream. The 6cylinder inline engine has great pickup and gets good gas mileage. The interior has faux wood, leather, compass, outside temp reading, automatic power locks, power mirrors & windows, sunroof, voice recorder, built-in garage door opener, sunglass holder, dual air controls, 6 cd player with 6 speakers, onstar, traction control, rear air conditioning, cruise control. There are too many more to name in this small space! The outside looks great too! Comes with 7 year powertrain ltd warranty. This is the best vehicle I've ever owned!! Great deal for the price!!!!
Pros: 275hp
Cons: nothing
Advice: get itjust bought one after driving the pathfinder , 4 runner, montero, sequoia, and explorer. the ascender kicked their buts in horse power for the 6cyl. size is perfect and it was the only one with a usable 3rd row seat. got the LS package. comes standard with wood grain dash. love the power and luxury for the same or less money than the others
Pros: on star service. and satilite system.
Cons: The way the seat belt is mounted to the driver seat and not the side
Advice: If you can afford the gas, this is an excellent SUV for the money.This vehicle ride is very smooth, even on ruff roads. and the room inside when all the seats are down can haul like a pick up. gas milage is not very good and can use improvment. But the extra that are available like satilite on star system /traction control / driver information center/ seat position recall and much more was a lot for your money and a big selling point for me.
Pros: Easy access to switch to AW
Cons: A bit sluggish transmission
Advice: Go to an Isuzu dealer and not a twinI have about 4,000 miles on the Ascender LS and find it to be a delightful ride. Having just gotten past the blizzard of 2003 in Colorado it is also an excellent vehicle in the snow, deep snow. The I6 engine is powerful and smooth. The transmission could be better but it is adequate. The in dash 6-CD player is wonderful and the overall sound system quite nice. The interior is pleasant and very roomy! The warranty is very nice and much better than it's twins. I also saved quite a bit more by going to Isuzu rather than one of the twins. All in all, a great vehicle!

Hi friends!! I am alive and well! Sorry I haven't updated in so long. We had a great time in Texas with Josh's parents, and I started school on Monday. I have been super busy this week- long days, lots of information...but I am loving it. I am actually coming to you live from class- our laptops are getting checked, so we have some downtime. I hope to have some time to check out what everyone has been up to over the weekend!
I have a couple Provo Craft projects to share with you today. These are my May projects, and I was assigned to do 3 home decor items. First up is this family sign, using the Home Decor, Lyrical Letters & Plantin Schoolbook cartridges and my Cricut Expression. Up next, I was assigned a glass etching project. I cut the chandelier from vinyl, and then stuck the negative image directly to the glass. Then I followed the direction on the etching creme, and this is what it did. I think it is pretty neat!
And last, are just some blocks that I decorated to match the set. These can be used as a centerpiece, a wall hanging...anything your heart desires!
Well, I better get going for now! Time to get back to school. I hope you have a wonderful day. I will start sharing photos once we start shooting!
Until later,

I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!
I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)

The 'One Less Lonely Girl' hitmaker doesn't boss around people in Def Jam Records despite rumor to the contrary.
Contrary to swirling report, Justin Bieber is not driving people at Def Jam Records mad. The Canadian teen idol's camp laughed off the claim that suggested the "Boyfriend" singer acted bratty, calling the rumor "ridiculous."
People in his record label also denied the report to Gossip Cop, insisting that "no one at the label" felt Bieber was "bratty." In fact, an insider in the recording company praised him for his work ethic, "We wish our other acts were like Justin and worked hard."
Justin's alleged bratty behavior was reported by New York Daily News. "He's surrounded by hangers-on who say 'yes' to anything he wants. There's no supervision," a so-called source said. "Justin doesn't seem to care and does whatever he wants... he doesn't listen to anyone."

Small screen actress Pratyusha Banerjee's ex-boyfriend, businessman Makrand Malhotra, will reportedly join the seventh season of reality show "Bigg Boss – Saath 7".
"Balika Vadhu" fame Pratyusha is already a contestant on the show and if Malhotra enters the "Bigg Boss" house some more drama and controversies will ensue, said a source.
"Bigg Boss – Saath 7" airs on Colors.
Earlier this month, the actress had lodged a complaint with the police against her boyfriend for his abusive behaviour and also said that they are no longer seeing each other.
"Bigg Boss" house is synonymous with controversies and politics and if Malhotra becomes a part of the show it will add spice to it.
This is not the first time that something like this will happen in the "Bigg Boss" house.
In the fourth season of "Bigg Boss", in which actress Sara Khan was an inmate, her boyfriend Ali Merchant entered the show as a wild card entry. Apart from other things, they even had a wedding ceremony on the show.
Later, it was reported that the couple's marriage was fake and that the two have parted ways.
In the last season of the reality show, "Bigg Boss – Alag Che", Delnaaz Irani and her ex-husband Rajev Paul were inmates. The duo was surprised to see each other and lots of emotional drama ensued.
