London - Recent research shows that household products contain a shocking cocktail of damaging chemicals, many of them linked to fertility problems in women, including contributing to an early menopause.
So what are the alternatives? Health-conscious mother-of-two Mandy Francis enrolled the help of housekeeping expert Janey Lee Grace, who promotes the natural alternatives to almost everything, and made her own products - with very surprising results...
MOST of these contain chlorine or bleach to cut through grease, but a study has revealed that exposure to these sprays could account for as many as 15 percent of adult asthma cases.
MAKE YOUR OWN: White vinegar dissolves dirt and stains and is gentle enough to use on anything from kitchen countertops to wooden flooring. It should absorb bad smells, and the vinegar aroma should disappear when it dries. Mix equal parts white vinegar and lukewarm water in a spray bottle, then add a few drops of your favourite essential oil.
DID IT WORK? Easy to make up and use, this removed sticky patches and dried-on food well. Despite the lavender oil, however, there was still a definite chip shop aroma in the kitchen an hour later.
USUALLY needs to be sprayed on and left to work, making it more likely you'll inhale fumes. Ingredients can include butane, used to soften hardened grease and grime but which can cause headaches and dizziness. Also contains monoethanolamine, which can irritate the lungs.
MAKE YOUR OWN: To tackle burnt-on food, sprinkle baking soda over the bottom of the oven, then spritz it with water from a spray bottle, and leave overnight, before removing the paste with a sponge. If baked-on food remains, sprinkle more baking soda on to it, then add a little white vinegar. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then scrub.
DID IT WORK? Whether chemical or natural, oven cleaning is always a messy business. Leaving it on overnight was a pain - no one wants a filthy cleaning job first thing in the morning. The bicarbonate cleaned the oven, but failed to remove the burnt-on deposits.
I LOVE the smell of furniture polish, but apparently it lingers because of the high level of chemical solvents in it, which can irritate throat and eyes.
MAKE YOUR OWN: For finished wood, add two-parts cheap olive oil to one-part lemon juice and apply with a cloth. Leave for 30 minutes, then buff off with an old towel. For unfinished wood, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to 300ml of mineral oil (the food-safe type available from kitchen and hardware shops) and repeat as above.
DID IT WORK? To a degree, though it was messy and inconvenient. It cleaned well and smelled fresh, but didn't provide the high shine you get with regular polish.
MOST of these are packed with strong petroleum-based detergents and caustic alkalis to emulsify grease, which can burn the skin. Some detergents also contain dry chlorine, which is activated when mixed with water, and can cause breathing problems for some people when they open the washer.
MAKE YOUR OWN: Mix a quarter of a cup of citric acid (a weak organic acid used as a food preservative) with a quarter of a cup of household salt, one cup of bicarbonate of soda and one cup of borax (a naturally occurring mineral, popular as a 'green' cleansing product).
Add a little water so it's sticky but not runny, and five to ten drops of eucalyptus or lemon oil. Store in a sealed container. Use two tablespoons when required, and use white distilled vinegar as a rinse aid.
DID IT WORK? I struggled to find citric acid and borax in the shops and ended up buying it online. The mixture was messy, but cleaned well. Sadly, once again, the vinegar made my kitchen smell like a chip shop.
THESE are full of synthetic fragrances thar can trigger asthma - but that's not all. A study of 14 air fresheners revealed many contained chemicals that have been linked to terrifying things from reproductive problems to birth disorders.
MAKE YOUR OWN: Use pot-pourri to fragrance your home. If you prefer a spray freshener, half-fill a plant spritzer with filtered water, add two drops of essential oil (lemon or eucalyptus work well) and a drop of white vinegar or vodka to preserve it, then spray around your home.
Cost: from a few pence for drops of essential oil to several pounds for pot-pourri.
DID IT WORK? Pot-pourri keeps a room fragrant for weeks, though can be costly and gathers dust. The natural spray worked well: I preferred it to the synthetic ones.
MOST common laundry detergents contain chemicals, traces of which are left on clothes after washing. This can cause rashes and sinus problems.
The manufacture and use of chemical detergents have been shown to have a long-term toxic effect on the environment.
MAKE YOUR OWN: Natural housekeeping expert Janey Lee Grace suggests mixing a cup of finely-grated soap with just less than a cup of washing soda, which is much more environmentally friendly.
DID IT WORK? It worked well, but I missed the fresh fragrance of conventional washing powder. No major difference in price between the chemical and natural products.
I LOVE the convenience of disposable surface wipes. Made from plastic, cellulose and polyester fibres pressed together and soaked in cleaning fluid, they're packed with chemicals, however, and damaging to the environment because they're so slow to biodegrade, and are said to fester in our sewers. Time for a rethink.
MAKE YOUR OWN: A general purpose e-cloth (a microfibre cleaning cloth) and a spritz of water is all you need, according to Janey Lee Grace.
DID IT WORK? Yes. Far better than surface wipes and even left a smear-free shine on difficult surfaces, such as steel and glass.
MOST shampoos contain the same mixture of detergents to remove grease and grime from hair. But some of the ingredients can break down into formaldehyde during storage, and formaldehyde vapours can cause breathing problems in asthma sufferers.
According to Pat Thomas, author of What's In This Stuff?, formaldehyde-forming agents mixed with some of the emulsifying ingredients in shampoos can form a carcinogen.
MAKE YOUR OWN: A natural shampoo can be made by whisking one egg yolk into half a cup of cold chamomile tea. Massage through your hair and rinse with cold water, then lukewarm water. If your hair's oily, use egg white instead of yolk.
DID IT WORK? No. Messy and rather disgusting - it left my hair feeling soft but dirty. And be warned, if you rinse with hot water you could end up with scrambled egg in your hair. Better to use a chemical-free shampoo from a health food shop.
THE head-spinning mix of powerful chemicals in our homes should be a concern for all of us, but are DIY alternatives a viable option?
They're definitely cheaper. Some of the mixtures performed really well and ideas such as using an e-cloth and water instead of surface wipes worked brilliantly.
But some of the other concoctions gave nothing like the results of their chemical equivalents, and were messy and time-consuming.
One thing's certain - I'm going to start buying more natural, eco-friendly ranges, and I've cut out unnecessary products, such as an air freshener in the car.
If a chemical product's the only option, I'll be using less of it. - Daily Mail

Three Iraqi Guardsmen, US soldier killed
Fighters ambushed a convoy of American and Iraqi forces in the northern city of Mosul, detonating a roadside bomb in an attack that killed three Iraqi National Guardsmen, the U.S. military said Wednesday.
The troops were bringing heaters and other supplies to a school when they came under fire on Tuesday, a military statement said. The convoy was first hit with a roadside bomb and then sprayed with gunfire. Three Iraqi troops died and six were injured. No Americans were reported hurt, The AP reported.
On Tuesday, gunmen stopped three trucks carrying new Iraqi coins south of Baghdad and killed the drivers, stole the money and set the trucks on fire, a police official said.
The attack occurred near the town of Salman Pak, southeast of Baghdad. The trucks were carrying the money from the southern port city of Basra to the Central Bank of Iraq in Baghdad, the official said.
Meanwhile, a U.S. soldier was killed in action in Iraq's western Anbar province, a military statement said Wednesday. The statement said only that the soldier was killed Tuesday. The unit is based at Camp Fallujah west of Baghdad.

Interview: Teen
We speak with the Brooklyn-based band about how awesome the internet is, and girl band stereotypes.
Teen is the latest export from New York's underground. The family band is comprised of three sisters — Teeny, Katherine and Lizzy Lieberson — and their close friend Kate Herships. Teen's songs are like psychedelic dreams which combine haunting rhythms and twinkling harmonies. We spoke with charming frontwoman Teeny about forming the (almost self-titled) Brooklyn-based band, how awesome the internet is and girl band stereotypes.
Melissa Kenny: 'Teeny' — That must be the single cutest name I've ever heard. Is that your nickname or were you birthed as Teeny?
Teeny Lieberson: My name's Christina but I haven't gone by Christina since I was a kid. I'm Teeny. I've always been Teeny.
So is that kind of how the name Teen originated? Is the predictable explanation the right one?
Yep, that's the right one!
So you're the boss then?
Bemusing! I didn't want to call the band Teeny so I was kinda like, 'OK, let's take the Y off'.
Googling you guys wasn't the most straightforward thing. I got heaps of Imperial Teen, some really awful YouTubes, and this article on wikiHow called 'How to Start a Teen Band: 5 Steps'.
Oh my god. I'm just better off saying that was my intention. Just for people to have the weird Google experience. I think just googling the word 'teen' in general...
Well under step three, which is called 'write a song', the article notes "your song should be catchy and something someone would want to put on their iPod." Do Teen consider iPod playability when songwriting?
No, I don't really. I think there are certain songs where it just happens and it happens to kind of catch but most of the time I'm not thinking about that. If something flows good, if something resolves in a good way or if it comes back around to the beginning idea then I'll think, 'OK that's the way it needs to go'. But then again that would incorporate a great hook. If it doesn't feel good then it's probably not sounding good.
I just saw the clip for 'Electric' which was awesome. The song itself is a little sinister, kind of urgent, but I like the contrast with the fun choreographed stuff and the mod geometric backdrops. How did all that come together?
It was a series of a lot of different things. Sam and Megha [the directors of the clip] really wanted to get to the core of the song like, what the meaning was. It was written right after my father passed away so it was written at a time of total mania. I was worried about how I was going to be treated after it happened, and being kind of scared of going out into the world. It's essentially about how people treat you when you're vulnerable. We were trying to come up with a concept of how to convey that and we went with a sort of a weird ritualistic idea and I showed them 'The Rite of Spring', the original choreography that Stravinsky did and it was very modern... A very modern kind of simple movement. I know Megha was into my idea. He's this amazing filmmaker who incorporated very simple movements to express emotion, and then Sam wanted to take it into 'electric world'.
What about the album title, In Limbo?
We were all going through transition. In the beginning of the band, I wasn't fully available, because I was still in Here We Go Magic, which created a lot of pull and we all experienced that. We're all sisters, working a real job, our father passed away — everyone was really in this state of not knowing what was going on, and only more recently have we felt like 'this is happening, this record's going on' so In Limbo is kind of like the perfect expression of what was actually happening in all of our lives.
I keep seeing the album title In Limbo and my brain reads an amalgamation of Radiohead's In Rainbows and King of Limbs. It keeps happening and it really bugs me out.!
Uh huh, uh huh, I know! I actually thought about that. That's funny!
Your first release was a digital EP; would you say that the internet was super important in those initial stages, in establishing yourselves as a band and all of that?
It's definitely a really useful tool. It's pretty great. You can just post music, people can hear it, people can buy it from you and there you go. It was a big help in getting shows.
Do you get a lot of dickheads wanting to typecast you upon you're an all-girl band?
Yeah, unfortunately it happens a lot. I don't really know exactly what it is yet, I'm still trying to figure it out. It feels like they try to put us into a category to make it more understandable in some way. I think maybe our music is — well, I'm assuming it's different to what a lot of women have done in the past. I'm sure there are lots of girls out there making music like us now... I don't know, it's really interesting. The internet is great for a lot of reasons but I also think it can create a lot of a negativity so I'm trying to figure out if it's because we're women or if it's just kind of happening in general.
Everyone has an opinion but the internet can facilitate that bad energy — anonymous bashing is easy.
Yeah, and it feels like most of it is negative. It's kind of this evil thing — the people who have really negative things to say are always the most adamant about it. People who are positive don't feel like they need to reinforce it all the time.
I guess your sound is kind of hard to pin down so, as you were saying, it's a way of categorising that. Perhaps it's the genre bending thing that you do that leaves you open for all these interpretations?
A lot of comparisons to Vivian girls and Warpaint seem to be drawn.
Do you agree with those similarities or like those bands?
Yeah I love Warpaint, I think Warpaint are an amazing band. I like Vivian Girls a lot too. I don't think our music is similar, though, I think the only thing that is similar is that we're women. We get compared to Haim all the time and the music couldn't be more different, and it's only because we're sisters. I guess that's the part that's frustrating. You're not going to be be like, 'These four dudes sound like these four dudes because they're four dudes'. I'm not saying that sounding like any of those bands is a bad thing because I like all of them very much, but it's just interesting how that happens. I guess it's because there are not that many all-female bands.
Totally. What are you doing with the rest of your day?
I'm watching documentaries at home. I'm watching the Up Series. Have you seen those?
No, I haven't actually.
I think there's seven of them, and they started when these kids were seven-years-old in England and it documents them until they're 49, every 7 years. It's social commentary, it's really upfront. I like it a lot.

Smartphone app drives car
A prototype smartphone application lets a driver control a Range Rover SUV from up to 10 meters away.
Is your Range Rover pinned into a tight parking spot? Well, just use your phone and back it out.
Jaguar Land Rover is working on technology that will let you remote control your car using your smartphone. In this demonstration the Range Rover is in a tight parking spot and the driver would have trouble getting into the car. Using a smartphone app, he can control the steering, accelerator and brake. Don't get too excited though, this app isn't going to turn you into James Bond. The car is limited to a slow crawl of 4 miles per hour or about 6 kilometers an hour. And you have to be within 10 meters of it for the control to work.
In a less likely scenario the company showed how a driver could walk alongside his car while navigating rough or difficult terrain. The company said this could be useful to avoid hitting rocks or scraping the back of the car on steep inclines, but that wouldn't exactly be the terrain where I'd want to drive a 70,000 dollar car.
The system uses a variety of sensors to avoid pedestrians, vehicles and other objects.
In addition to remote control, it can also autonomously do a three point turn; it handles all of the gear changes and steering.
This isn't the first futuristic project from Jaguar Land Rover. Last year the company showed an invisible hood that used cameras to eliminate blind spots. Using similar technology, another prototype made the pillars inside the car see through, giving drivers a better view of their surroundings.
The research team said this project is a stepping stone to autonomous driving, but pointed out that it doesn't want to take away the fun of driving. When the technology matures, drivers will have the option of self or autonomous driving in the same vehicle.
There is no word on commercialization of the system.

According to Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer, certification of its Phenom 100 very light jet is expected next month, "hopefully" in time for a formal ceremony at the NBAA Convention, to be held October 6 to 8 in Orlando, Fla. What little work that remains includes paperwork validating the software that controls the Eaton flap actuators and certification of seats from new suppliers. Five months ago, Embraer determined that the original provider would not be able to meet delivery schedules and switched to Goodrich for the pilot seats and DeCrane Aerospace for the passenger seats. According to Cláudio Galdo Camelier, v-p of market intelligence for Embraer Executive Jets, the program is nevertheless on track for a first customer delivery in early November. With the pre-assembly plant at Botucatu, Brazil, already ramping up production, Embraer anticipates delivery of 10 to 15 "entry level" Phenom 100s by year-end. At the same time, flight tests are continuing on the larger Phenom 300, which is slated for mid-2009 certification. Camelier believes deliveries of the Phenom 100 and 300 could go as high as 150 aircraft next year. The combined order book, he said, consists of more than 800 airplanes, two-thirds of which are Phenom 100s.

By Melissa Daniels | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — The state has made a move to revoke Jerry Sandusky's state pension, but it may mark only the beginning of a legal tussle over the letter of the law.
The State Employee Retirement System sent a letter to Sandusky notifying him that his pension was revoked in accordance with Act 140, which governs public pension forfeitures, as first reported by The Associated Press.
Under Pennsylvania law, public pension forfeiture only applies to certain crimes relating to public corruption, or certain crimes committed by school employees against a student.
Sandusky's lawyers told The Associated Press that SERS does not have legal ground to take the pension, as the victims in the case were not students at Penn State University, where Sandusky was employed.
Should Sandusky's legal counsel appeal, the SERS Board will hear the case first. From there, it goes to the state court system.
Those who forfeit their pension under state law are reimbursed their own contributions.
Act 140 forfeitures apply upon conviction for certain crimes. Existing case law says that "conviction" occurs at sentencing. Sandusky was sentenced on Tuesday.
PA Independent has filed a Right-to-Know request with the state to file an open records request in order to obtain the letter sent to Sandusky.
Sandusky's case spurred a number of pieces of legislation that would amend Act 140, but those have yet to pass the General Assembly with only several days left of the session.
Bureau Chief Eric Boehm contributed to this report.

The Evergreen State lives up to its name – full of lush green forests, majestic mountains, and scenic coastlines, but Washington isn't only about the scenery! This vibrant state is rich in culture too, and has some great cities to explore and live in: Seattle, Olympia, and Tacoma, to name just a few. Washington State is the 13th most populous of all the states, and surprisingly around 60 percent of those people live within the Seattle metro area. Apart from the great scenery and cities, what is Washington like to live in? How safe is the Evergreen State? Well read on to find out which are the top 10 safest cities in Washington.
The small community of Inchelium tops the charts as the safest city in Washington State. If you haven't heard of this place it's not surprising really; only around 410 live here after all. Inchelium is within the Colville Indian Reservation in Ferry County and has a crime index of 98 – 100 being the safest.
The town of Cathlamet is only slightly larger than Inchelium with its population around 532 people. Cathlamet is along the Ocean Beach Highway in Wahkiakum County and started life as a large village of Columbia River Indians. Today it's the second safest place to live in Washington, and has a crime index of 97.
Another small town, Colton is home to only around 430 people. Colton is in Whitman County, in the south east of Washington, and it's the third safest town in Washington State. The crime index is 95.
Situated in Lincoln County in the east of the state is the town of Reardan. Reardan has a population around 570 people and has celebrated the Mule Days Festival every June for the past 50 years. Reardan has a crime index of 94 and is the fourth safest town in Washington State.
DuPont is the first actual city on our list of the top 10 safest cities in Washington State. Set over in the west of the state, in Pierce County, DuPont has a population around 8,800 though this is rising as the new community of Northwest Landing is being constructed. DuPont is the fifth safest city in Washington State, and has a crime index of 94.
The city of Duvall is in King County, only 25 miles from Seattle, and it's home to around 7,100 people. Every year the city hosts the popular Duvall Days festival. Duvall is the sixth safest city in Washington and has a crime index of 92.
About 12 miles southeast of Spokane is the unincorporated community of Valleyford. Around 2,900 people call Valleyford home and it's the seventh safest place to live in Washington State. Valleyford has a crime index of 90.
Springdale is just a tiny town, set in Stevens County in the west of the state. Only around 280 people live in Springdale, enjoying the low crime index of 89, as this is the eighth safest place to live in Washington.
Maple Falls
Around 325 people live in the community of Maple Falls, in Whatcom County right in the north of Washington, close to the Canadian border. Maple Falls is the ninth safest community in Washington State and has a crime index of 89.
Kittitas is a small city of around 1,400 people, set in Kittitas County close to the heart of Washington. Kittitas is number 10 in our list of the top 10 safest cities in Washington State, and has a crime index of 88.

The New Humanism: E.O. Wilson and the Evangelicals
How, and why, did a self-described "uncompromising secular humanist" find himself greeted with open arms by evangelical friends and allies at Samford University, "the Ivy League of the Southern Baptist Conference," in Birmingham, Alabama? Edward O. Wilson - biologist, environmentalist, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, and humanist - delivered a presentation about the "New Atheism," the "New Humanism," and friends in unlikely places at the 2007 joint conference of the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard and the Secular Student Alliance, The New Humanism.
Professor E.O Wilson and SSA board member Joe Foley at The New Humanism conference at Harvard University.
Professor Wilson has been an institution at Harvard for over half a century, and is among the most celebrated scientists alive today. His teenage fascination with ants led to what could have been a quiet career in entomology, but he first gained notoriety by extending the study of animal behavior to include humans, for which he coined the term "sociobiology" in 1975. Wilson's ideas were fiercely attacked by fellow evolutionary biologists such as Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin, but drew support from others like Richard Dawkins and Steven Pinker, making a mark on the way both scientists and the general public think about the evolution of human behavior. Another of Wilson's professional interests was the study of biodiversity and extinction, which quickly led to his active support for global conservation; he is now one of the most prominent advocates of the movement.
Wilson is also a public voice for secular humanism, and so he began his talk by paying homage to two leaders of the movement: Paul Kurtz, founder of the Center for Inquiry, and Tom Ferrick, former Humanist Chaplain at Harvard and the man in whose honor this conference had been organized by his successor, Greg Epstein. Wilson then discussed the contributions of two sides of the modern freethought movement, the New Atheism and the New Humanism.
The New Atheism, Wilson said, is a "bolder and more confident" form of the awareness-raising that secular organizations have been trying to do for decades. He praised authors like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris for their ability to reach the general public and openly combat faith-based government, "vouchsafing those freedoms we thought we had won 250 years ago." This important line of defense, he said, will halt the excesses of religion and validate atheism as a movement and a worldview.
The other side of the coin is the New Humanism, after which the conference was named even though (or perhaps because) the term's definition is elusive and controversial. To Wilson, the New Humanism is no less skeptical of religion than the old, but it is "not so much proselytizing," he says, "as finding common ground." He pointed out that however much the freethought movement has grown recently, the membership of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) includes 45,000 churches and 30 million people. Alone, atheists or scientists (groups with significant overlap) make up a minority that is often ignored, if even tolerated. However, if we could find partnership with evangelicals on issues like environmental conservation, the sheer numbers of the faithful could move mountains.
Wilson drew on his own personal common ground with evangelical Christians to help his message get across the gap. He was born in Birmingham "just a rifle shot away" from what is now the site of Samford University, and grew up literally steeped in Southern Baptist tradition. Thus, he was able to write his latest book, The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth. It reads as a letter "to an imaginary Southern Baptist pastor." He explains that even though he no longer counts himself among their flock, and even though scientists and religious believers may have different views about how the world came into being, both parties have a vital and immediate interest in preserving it. Stewardship, he says, is a neglected but fundamental value in the Christian tradition.
Setting aside our metaphysical differences and reaching out the "hand of friendship," Wilson says, has worked "to a spectacular degree." He has been invited to meetings with American religious leaders like Richard Cizik of the NAE and Gordon Hinckley, President of the Mormon Church, and to major conferences like the one at Samford, which at one point paused for a live video link to the ongoing New Humanism conference and some polite addresses in both directions. Judging by the number of books Wilson signs as well as his conversations with the top movers and shakers, Wilson believes environmental conversation is quickly becoming a priority for America's major religions.
This kind of New Humanism may be achieving great success at pushing the rock of ages in a new direction, but what happens when this "truce in the Culture War" expires and we revisit the fundamental difference between our groups? With the growing validation of the humanist worldview and the unique mental peace with the world that it provides, Wilson predicts religion will gradually decline. It will never disappear completely, he says, because it forms so much of our literary and artistic tradition, without which we would be very poor indeed. But slowly and surely, Wilson maintains, "We will evolve."
Joe Foley is a doctoral student in genetics at Stanford University. He graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Minnesota in 2007, with a B.S. in biology and a minor in music. He first became involved with the freethought movement as an officer of the University of Minnesota Campus Atheists, Skeptics and Humanists, and led the group as one of its three co-chairs from 2004 to 2006. Since 2006, Joe has also served the Secular Coalition for America as Treasurer.

The stage was set; Quinton "Rampage" Jackson ready to go out on his last fight on his contract with the UFC in a blaze of glory. Glover Teixeira was ready to go from the best "unknown" light heavyweight in the UFC to become the top contender in the LHW with a big knockout of Rampage. The trash talking from Glover seemed to light a fire in Rampage and once again Quinton Jackson said he was in the best shape of his life and was going to destroy Glover. Then they met in the center of the octagon, touched gloves, and went back to their corners ready to let it all hang out.
When the first round began the two stood toe to toe and did little feeling out, started throwing with not much significant damage being done. A few minutes in with a little back and forth boxing and then, like Rampage had predicted Glover took Rampage down. There wasn't much damage done on the ground and Rampage got back up. Again they stood toe to toe and there was some vintage Rampage ducking and dodging and throwing some big shots but not much landing. Glover did clip Rampage and dropped him but Jackson was quick to get back up to his feet. The rest of the round was much of the same Glover and Rampage doing little but staying on the feet.
The second round was much of the same except Rampage looked slower and more tired. He was took down with ease, but still was able to get back to his feet. Rampage and Glover both landed some nice shots but nothing that was able to drop their opponent. Glover Teixeira did more and landed more shots then Rampage, and Glover was a clear winner of the round once again.
In the third and final round of the Co-main event Rampage came out looking more energized and seemed to know he needed to finish off the Chuck Liddell trained Teixeira. Jackson threw some shots, ducked and dodged and even landed a few nice shots. Glover returned shots and seemed unfazed by Rampage and even got an easy take down on Rampage. Glover ended the round in full mount throwing punches and elbows but nothing that was going to finish off the one time UFC Light Heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
The fire we once known in Rampage was not there, but also I wasn't overly impressed by the guy that was suppose to be the destroyer that everyone should be afraid of in the light heavyweight division. The answers we wanted to get from this fight are still there; can Rampage regain his form of old? Is Glover Teixeira a danger to the Champion, Jon "Bones" Jones throne? I don't see Rampage fighting again in the UFC, but I do see potential in Glover, and maybe it was the big fight jitters, but if Glover is everything we hear he is, then next fight he will need to prove it.
In the end though, the difference was the takedowns of Teixeira, and landing more big shots then Rampage. The judges gave all three rounds and the unanimous decision victory to Glover Teixeira who now goes to 20-2 MMA. This victory will move him up the light heavyweight latter and should get him a shot at a top contender.

Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott Shares Wedding Details in Redbook
Move over, boys — it's Hillary Scott's turn to shine! The soon-to-be-married Lady Antebellum singer radiates on the cover of the December issue of Redbook, despite being without her Lady A counterparts Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley.
Behind the cover, Scott opens up about her relationship with her fiance, drummer Chris Tyrrell, who has essentially taken the wedding planning reigns, given Scott's busy band schedule. The Lady Antebellum trio has been on the road playing music nonstop to promote their new album, and are looking forward to getting back to Nashville for the CMA Awards on Nov. 9.
Thankfully, Scott says she will give Haywood and Kelley — and the rest of the crew — a break on her wedding day. "I'm not asking them to sing or play an instrument. I'm not putting anybody I love to work on my wedding day," the 'Just a Kiss' singer comments. "I even told our band and crew that I know it's a weekend off that we would normally have, so if they want to take a vacation and not come, they're not going to hurt my feelings."
Despite being the frontwoman of an immensely successful, Grammy award-winning group, Scott says that no victory is quite as sweet as finding the man she'll spend the rest of her life with. "Everything is brighter. Everything has a deeper meaning. I've found a guy who truly embraces me for who I am and appreciates the things that I don't necessarily love about myself," she tells Redbook. "He makes me feel more comfortable in my own skin."
The issue of Redbook is on stands on Nov. 15, but before then, the magazine wants its readers to choose the cover shot of Hillary Scott that graces the magazine. Check out Redbook's Facebook page to see the other cover options and to pick your favorite.

Birthday Madness
So they make a highschool senior sit out his senior year because he was born 12 hours too early….You are kidding right? No I'm not, check it out for yourself.
Adam Sisson is a high school senior. The teenager has spent his entire life dreaming of his senior seasons in high school sports, where he expected to be a star for the Eastern Montgomery (Va.) High football, basketball and baseball teams. Then, just days before his final high school year began, Sisson was given a shock: He was told that he was too old to play in Virginia high school sports by exactly 12 hours.

|PSU's new Ice Arena is scheduled to open in Fall 2010
PLYMOUTH, N.H.– Construction began this week on a new ice arena, Plymouth State University officials announced today. The Ice Arena will cost $16.4 million and is scheduled to be completed by late summer 2010.
The Ice Arena will seat 850 spectators and serve as a teaching facility for instruction and research in ice activities, a home for Panther varsity men's and women's ice hockey teams, and a site for student recreation. The Ice Arena will also be a venue for community skating including high school athletics, adult and youth hockey leagues, figure skating, and recreational skating.
The Ice Arena will feature a Welcome Center lobby and facilities that will provide an attractive meeting place for prospective students, parents, and visitors to the campus as well as the towns of Plymouth and Holderness and the wider region.
"The Ice Arena will be more than just an athletic facility on our campus," said PSU President Sara Jayne Steen. "It will allow the University to broaden its physical resources to improve our student experience, provide a competitive advantage for student recruitment, allow more community access to our facilities, and enhance the quality of life in the region."
What does this mean for PSU?
The Ice Arena is the first of a five-phase plan to construct PSU's new ALLWell Center complex (Active Living, Learning, and Wellness).
Future phases of the ALLWell Center will house classrooms, research laboratories, lecture halls, offices, multipurpose activity laboratories, conference rooms, and general support areas for academic and athletic programs. A new field house will provide additional instructional space. An aquatic center will enhance capacity for instruction, community programming, and serve as a qualified competition venue. The Foley Gymnasium will be relocated to a new building that will house instructional and laboratory facilities, an athletic training suite, and strength and conditioning centers for students and the community.
The entire project is designed so that on-going activities are not interrupted as new facilities come on line and old facilities are removed.
"The Health and Human Performance department is the University's third largest program," said Provost Julie Bernier. "The ALLWell Center will provide a state-of-the-art academic facility for our students allowing them to learn and excel beyond what is currently possible."
The Health and Human Performance department also has established recently a Center for Active Living and Healthy Communities, an institute for research and outreach on health and wellness in rural areas that will eventually be housed in the ALLWell Center.
The Ice Arena serves as a community facility
The Ice Arena will serve as a "welcome center" for the Lake Region and North Country and a key distribution point for material and information about local communities and the region.
The Ice Arena responds to the market demand for increasing numbers of adult and youth hockey activities in the Northeast; hockey is one of the fastest growing sports in New England.
"Community support is vital to its success, in terms of public access, support of the arena, and partnerships with local groups," said PSU Executive Director of University Relations Steve Barba.
Why is PSU moving forward with building the Ice Arena given the current economic climate?
The Ice Arena is the first in a five-phase project. Preparation for the construction of the Ice Arena included an independent feasibility study completed in 2007 that indicated a strong business case for the reconstruction of the current Physical Education Center into a state-of-the-art complex that will eventually integrate the department of Health and Human Performance (HHP) with athletics, recreation, and community programs.
Funds to underwrite the construction of the Ice Arena have been generated by New Hampshire Health and Education Facilities Authority (HEFA) bonds. The Ice Arena operating costs will be supported by funds generated through private donations, corporate sponsorships, operations of the rink, and student fees. The State of New Hampshire is providing support through a Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) grant. The PSU Student Senate demonstrated its support for the new Ice Arena by unanimously approving an annual student fee to begin in 2010.
"This is an excellent addition to the campus," said PSU Vice President for Finance and Administration Steve Taksar. "It will be managed as an auxiliary operation, which means it must be self-sustaining."
Economic impact of the Ice Arena
According to an independent economic impact study, it is estimated that the Ice Arena construction project will create 25.8 additional employment positions earning $1,031,000. Construction is scheduled to take 15 months and during that time, there will be $2,245,000 in additional business sales in the region.
Wright-Ryan Construction, Inc. from Portland, ME is the primary contractor for the Ice Arena project. Approximately 60 percent of the construction contractors are New Hampshire-based companies.
It is estimated that once open, the Ice Arena will create 17.3 new jobs in the region with $508,000 in new salaries. Operations of the Ice Arena will also generate $2,333,000 annually. Significant increases in day and overnight visitor traffic are anticipated.
PSU's commitment to sustainability
The Ice Arena will be built to meet LEED Silver standards by installing sophisticated geothermal heating/cooling design to maximize energy conservation opportunities.
"In order to maximize the sustainability of this facility PSU is installing the large geothermal field and using other energy-saving devices that will reduce energy consumption by at least 28 percent over a traditional arena," said PSU's Director of Environmental Sustainability Bill Crangle.
The combination of geothermal and the capture of waste heat generated by ice making equipment will provide the heat for the facility thereby removing reliance on traditional fuel-based heating system.
Because of the energy-efficient design, this facility will require less energy consumption than PSU's traditional academic and residential buildings of the same size.
The University is also developing plans to make available to area science classes the opportunity to learn first-hand about the various "green" technologies being implemented in the Ice Arena.
The PSU Ice Arena web site is online at plymouth.edu/arena.

YRM's heyday was long gone, so what does RMJM stand to gain from its purchase?
There is little sympathy for YRM, which appears to be a textbook case of how not run a practice.
What went wrong is not difficult to understand. YRM lacked flair, it lacked leadership, and it turns out it lacked any sense of responsibility to its staff,
The so called "pre-pack" arrangement, which paved the way for its acquisition by RMJM last month, allowed it to leave creditors including staff in the lurch and owed two months' salary.
It has become a hallmark of this phony recession we're in that it's not clients refusing to pay architects that are the problem, it's architects leaving colleagues out of pocket while they look after themselves.
So how long had YRM known that it was in serious difficulty? Clearly, it had been struggling to pull in new work for some time and had made some badly judged forays overseas.
Those who remember the practice in its heyday chart its problems back to the late eighties when it became a listed company — the only UK practice to do so — despite lacking the necessary business nous to make that work.
In fact, incompetence was pretty much its hallmark during the nineties, and the practice then sank into near oblivion following a management buyout.
In those years, YRM made frequent appearances on BD's pages, usually with the words "severe losses" in the first paragraph.
The problem was that it was being run by people who were not leaders, were hardly even decent managers and were content to make a living by plying "expertise" in two sectors: nuclear and airports.
So, why has RMJM bought the practice? You have to assume it is for its contacts, in the hope that it can access those sectors — nuclear and airports — that it's not in. But even this doesn't quite add up.
The truth is that expertise if it ever really existed doesn't count for much these days. Anyone can be an expert or call on someone who is, but what a successful practice needs above all else are fresh ideas, and people who are willing to get to grips with a complex subject very quickly.
YRM's mistake was to believe it could trade on an illustrious past. RMJM's mistake could be in giving the remnants of this once great firm a desk.
This week we are delighted to welcome Professor Wouter Vanstiphout to our roster of regular columnists. An architectural historian by training, the Netherlands-based Vanstiphout is an authority on the fraught interplay between the worlds of politics and design.
In the week of last August's riots we published his thoughts on what London, Liverpool and Manchester could learn from the way that cities such as Paris had responded to urban unrest in the past. His analysis met with an unprecedented response, generating extensive discussion in the national press and leading to an invitation to meet with senior representatives from the office of London's mayor.
Vanstiphout is the first of a number of new columnists who will contributing to BD this year. Later this month he will be joined by Hank Dittmar of the Prince's Foundation, who can also be trusted to offer an alternative and independent view on the issues affecting BD's readers.

YRM did some majestic buildings pre 1986 before it was bought out and name changed to 'Kendall' or something crap like that....
'once-great' offers a clue - for those that cry 'meow', look up the work of FRS Yorke, Eugene Rosenberg and Cyril Mardall - and then (hopefully) understand the sheer quality of the famous partnership that was later to become just another bunch of initials.
I understand that YRM have a significant and on going portfolio of Nuclear Power Station work - perhaps this is the reason for the acquisition?

Pahari Mandir in Ranchi can finally hope to don a new look.
A blueprint of an expansion project of the temple complex prepared by a Gujarat-based architect and his team was approved on Thursday by Ranchi deputy commissioner and chairman of Pahari Mandir Vikas Samiti Vinay Kumar Choubey.
The four-member team headed by expert Manoj Trivedi visited the capital landmark for the second time on Thursday and presented an impressive 3D PowerPoint presentation of their plan.
The proposal includes an elevator for the main temple, which is located 2,000ft above sea level with 300 steps leading to it, water harvesting system, a marriage hall and a rotation platform for a panoramic view of the city.
Construction will be done in three phases renovation and beautification, landscaping and repairing of the approach roads and finally setting up of parks, a health centre and a shopping complex. According to Choubey, it will take almost two years to complete the project.
The blueprint earlier drawn up by BIT-Mesra has been rejected due to some technical problems. The one presented by the team from Gujarat looks impressive and promising, said Choubey.
Trivedi also gave a thumbs down to the proposal designed by the young architects of BIT-Mesra and pointed out the loopholes. He said that the BIT-Mesra pupils had proposed using steel, something that did not have a long life.
Use of iron or steel is prohibited in temple construction. Apart from this, life of RCC, which the BIT-Mesra students have suggested, is also barely 100 to 150 years. In comparison, stones have a long life of almost 1,000 years, said Trivedi, who has constructed more than 30 temples across the country.
He added that they would use red stone and marble instead.
This, however, will entail more expenditure. While BIT-Mesra students had quoted a budget of Rs 8-10 lakh, the estimate given by Trivedi & Co. is around Rs 20 lakh.
Thought the state government will sponsor a major part of the cost, a huge amount will also be raised through donation.
However, the young guns of BIT-Mesra have not been sidelined completely.
They were asked to prepare a DPR focusing on conservation and basic amenities on the new premises.
The engineers have already prepared the same and handed it over to Ranchi Municipal Corporation. Now, CEO Manoj Kumar will go through the proposal, discuss it with the deputy commissioner and then give the final go-ahead.
At present, the temple is undergoing repairs and beautification work. It boasts facilities like LED screens, ATM kiosk and temporary accommodation for devotees.

Sydney Opera House, Bennelong Point Sydney, NSW 2000
Low wide steps sweep up into this inner sanctum as the soaring ceiling and lightspangled water of Sydney Harbour are revealed. A sense of quiet reverence prevails; in the background, the tinkle of knife and fork on fine china. Guillaume Brahimi's food is easily equal to the space, by turn elegant, considered and persuasive. Don't miss eel, sandwiched with silverbeet and served with briny oyster, floured and fried sot-l'y-laisse (the chicken 'oyster') and nuggets of truffle. Fresh squid, cut raw in tagliatelle strips, swims in rich sea urchin butter. A triumph of contrast and texture, sweetbread is paired with tongue and napped with a gingerbread sauce. Rouget (small red mullet), done elegantly with prawn, mussel and clam and a crystal-clear broth poured over at the table, is a cut above the beaches of Marseilles, while the passionfruit soufflé, a tour de force of airy lightness, is an Aussie summer captured.
Wine:The gravitas you'd expect, with an emphasis on French and Australian wines; 19 by the glass
And…Guillaume is due to leave the House in early 2014. Cue suitable applause.

Nope, they were the ones who had to threaten each other to continue the relationship according to Teri (from TAR3):
Kelly and Jon: I just dont see this as a good melding of two people. You must wonder just how tight they are. See had to threaten him to continue their relationship. I just dont think that that indicates strength of team.
Are the opinions on this site so uninspired that you have to import them from other fan-sites?
I agree John. I saw no need to be posting posts from other web sites so I deleted them.
It's one thing to post links to interviews or articles, but I don't think we need (or care) to read thoughts that other people are posting on different web sites. If we wanted that we'd go there and read them.
I was really set to dislike these two, Kelly in particular, but I found I rather liked her.
I loved when she told Jon that him telling the bus driver not to let Monica and Sheree onto the bus would come back to get him :lol
Exactly, Fluff...and it looks like that kharma could be biting them in the butt next week...
I was prepared to dislike them, as well, but I actually thought they were an OK team...
I like them. I found nothing to dislike about them, so far. And Kelly's a cutie.
Ditto on what you guys are saying about them. I guess I didn't see them enough to form an opinion yet, but nothing sticks out as being really bad about them. I guess I'll know in a few weeks when my real opinions start getting formed!
Kelly reminds me an awful lot of Mrs. Paulie (looks-wise)
Regardless of how they performed on the show, I just can't get out of my head the fact that they said they are scared of fat people...

Damilola juror discharged
The judge in the Damilola Taylor murder trial has discharged a female member of the jury at the Old Bailey.
The trial, which is in its closing stages, will continue with 11 jurors.
Mr Justice Hooper declined to go into the reasons for his decision and warned the remaining jury members not to contact the discharged juror.
Two brothers aged 16, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have denied murdering 10-year-old Damilola in south London 16 months ago.
Broken glass
They also deny charges of manslaughter and assault with intent to rob.
On Wednesday, the jury again heard from pathologist Dr Vesna Djurovic.
She dismissed the evidence of defence expert Alistair Wilson, a surgeon who told the court he thought Damilola died accidentally after falling on broken glass.
Dr Djurovic told the court Damilola was deliberately stabbed in the thigh in a cutting and twisting motion.
Damilola died on November 27, 2000, from a thigh injury caused by a broken beer bottle on the North Peckham Estate, south London, where he lived.
His parents Gloria and Richard sat with their heads bowed as the juror was discharged.
The trial continues.

Prince of Persia Classic Free
by: Ubisoft Entertainment • 18.8K
All Android applications categories
by: Ubisoft Entertainment • 18.8K
Published: 2013-09-03, by Peter Warrior.
OK. I played the original Prince of Persia with EGA graphics. I believe it was a 386 or worse, with a internal speaker and, hold tight, a turbo button. I didn't get hooked too much on it because, if my memory serves me right, there was Loom to be played alone and Super Street Fighter II the New Challengers on SNES to play with my friends. We couldn't care less for a prince who wasn't able to stop at the place. Later, well, that game had something. That game had to be played, it was like a charming lure for any teenage gamer. It still is, indeed.
I froze when I saw that this PoP mobile version weighed 224 Mb. The first that came to my mind was that it should be a port from any of the newer versions, and "classic" was a marketing technique, as if Ubisoft were behaving like Coke. Fortunately, it isn't. It's the original PoP, step by step, jump by jump, sword clash by pit trap. Graphics have been revamped to a point undreamt of and music, though I'm not sure if it's the original, is awesome. Animations may not strike anyone anymore, but are worthy.
As it unfortunately uses to happen in contemporary retro gaming, the worst flaw we can lay on PoP is what we could call the "lost chance factor": the lost chance to play with new characters (why can't we play with the princess herself and save him instead?) or customize the existing one, the lost chance to add secret levels or easter eggs (what? no harem?), the lost chance to play the original PoP with CGA or EGA settings, the lost chance of in-app purchasing PoP2...
On the other hand, you can play the game with the original rules (60 minutes, infinite lives, checkpoints) called here Time Attack, or retreat to the normal "training" mode or dare to play "survival": one hour to run, one life to be lived, one princess to be saved. On screen game controls can be awkward at the beginning, but you will get the hang of it before you reach the scimitar - because you remember that you MUST go for the scimitar before anything else, don't you?
Don't look at the rating. It doesn't matter if it's a 4, a 5 or a 6 out of 5. Don't read this review, few less than a dinosaur gamer gabbling away. It's Prince of Persia. He has come back. And he need us to save the princess. Once again, he and us together. Like the good old times.

Protest at Military Funeral Update 2
Just wanted to give you guys a quick update... my flag and I are riding out this morning heading to JAX... God bless this Family and Please keep this family in your prayers. Remember what today is and what it stays for. It is because of Soldiers like this one that we are able to do what we do here on the blog.
Patriot Guards Support Fallen Soldier
Last Update: 11/10/2006 10:27:56 PM
Posted By: Holly Patterson
Dozens of veterans and even some firefighters have vowed to make sure army specialist Isaiah Calloway is truly laid to rest in peace.
Decked out his biker gear, Navy Veteran Jerry Randall is a member of the Patriot Guard, and so is Rod Morrill. Both are colleagues who are engineers here the TV station. As Patriot Guard riders, they're welcomed at military funerals and especially when scenes of protesters happen.
Jerry Randall says, "It's really disgusting that anyone would use those opportunities to further their own cause." The protesters are members of the Westboro Baptist church in Topeka, Kansas. They've threatened to show up outside Bethel Baptist church Saturday where army specialist Isaiah Calloway, who was killed last month in Afghanistan, will be remembered.
The protestors believe, war in Afghanistan and Iraq is divine punishment for America's so-called tolerance of gays, adultery, abortion and other moral transgressions. Veterans, and now at least 100 off-duty firefighters, will also serve as a barrier between Calloway's loved ones and protestors.
Jacksonville Association of Firefighters, Robert Lewis says, "I think it's sacrilegious. I don't understand why the death of soldiers that are fighting to protect our freedom and giving these people the freedom to be able to come to funerals, why they would be against the military."
The patriot guard stands by, watching out for protestors, to make sure no military funeral turns into a circus. Their way of silencing them is to ignore them.
Patriot Guard, Jerry Randall says, "If the church shows up, the family will never know it. Those in the patrol guard won't even look at them. All the protesters will see is our backs, as we turn our backs to them and honor a hero."
They say it's a show of support not only for the family but for the military as a whole.
Morrill says, "You break up, just like I am now. It's a very wonderful sadness, if you can believe that, to honor a family and a veteran."

The United Nations' top climate bureaucrat has called for clean energy companies to join in "unlikely alliances" to give a wider voice to the message about moving to a low-carbon economy and accelerate the pace of emissions reductions.
Speaking in Sydney on Friday, Christiana Figueres, the head of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, said the discussion about renewable energy and the low-emissions economy had to move mainstream to get the message across about the opportunities in the low-carbon world and to pick up the pace of action.
That means clean energy companies need to "think strategically" and reach out to groups outside their sector, such as the banking and insurance sectors, as well as fossil fuel producers and others, to get the message heard, Ms Figueres told a luncheon hosted by the Clean Energy Council.
"If you stay within the boundaries of the renewable energy industry it's not going to get us very far," Ms Figueres said in Sydney.
"In particular, what would be more interesting is, can you find unlikely alliances, unlikely coalitions that can actually be brought to the table with a compelling message.
Because if it's the usual suspects you don't really get a big microphone. The message is going to heard if it's an unlikely alliance."
Ms Figueres warned that "incumbent business" or "those who see themselves as the losers" in the transition to a low-carbon economy were "much better organised" than those in the low-emissions sector.
"They have deeper pockets, they have a much larger microphone, particularly in the United States but not only in the United States," she said. "The challenge that faces you is how do you deal with this."
Ms Figueres said slow progress on tackling climate change meant that efforts had to be accelerated rather than wait for carbon markets to bring about the necessary changes. Otherwise, the world could reach the "environmental tipping point" from which it would be difficult to recover.
"The only way to avoid that is to get to the economic tipping point in that everything you are doing is no longer the minority of business, is no longer the novelty, is no longer pioneering, is actually the norm. That's where we have to get to," she said.
"You can no longer be seen as the enlightened business. You have got to get to the point where you are mainstream business."

What does it matter except for funding various government officials who "overlooked"; the vast amounts of reported frauds and only look at 9 cities? First they say it "enters its eighth year" and at its conclusion states it was started in may 2009 under the Obama Administration, when obviously it was the Bush Administration. The Justice story shows they billed the federal government $5.5 billion, implying all of this was fraud, when they recovered less than that in total frauds during that same period, and doesn't report the recovery amounts or percentages or what the expenses involved were. Did they recover more or less than the costs? And where is the data that these super fraud forces use only in 9 cities that local fraud forces like the state Medicaid Fraud Control Units, who have the same poor results and turned down case the HEAT forces do, at 80%? But nobody will report what the governments knows which is it amounts to $1.2 Trillion each year, very few reported frauds are investigated, less yet prosecuted since they are pleaded out, and only 13% are convicted in expensive jury trials and are sentenced to 4 years? CMS fraud is the best opportunity for criminals, so why should we be happy to stop so little of it? And Fraud to the FBI is somewhere around their eight on their priority list, far away from terrorism!.

Without question, true fraud is a real and relevant problem that taxpayers and honest decent practitioners resent, and rightfully so. Be aware, however, that the term fraud is a very broad umbrella, and that it is used dishonestly and inappropriately by Medicare's RAC program. After 32 years of a busy primary care practice, I am a full-time compliance advisor for a major hospital. Granted, I have a bias in favor of the hospital and providers, but if physicians and even intelligent and fair-minded laypeople sat by my desk and just observed the process that I go through in analyzing denials from RAC and mounting a defense, I have no doubt that they would quickly realize that fraud in these cases is extremely rare and virtually nonexistent. Most of it is quibbling about silly and trivial points. Many of the arguments made by RAC are absurd and blatantly wrong. Nonetheless, even an allegation of Medicare fraud, irregardless of how baseless, can be extremely damaging to a physician or hospital. If you hear anything about the RAC program fighting Medicare fraud, do not automaticly assume that they are dealing with situations that reasonable and fair-minded people would truly consider fraud..

Cusack is a fallen black ops agent whose only chance to prove his credibility is to guard a code operator and prevent attackers from launching their deadly mission.
John Cusack is back into action in the first trailer for "The Numbers Station". Channeling his inner cold-blooded agent persona, Cusack doesn't hesitate to assassinate his enemies while on duty. He teams up with code operator Malin Akerman in what seems to be a top secret duty to prevent a group of attackers from executing their deadly plan.
Cusack stars as CIA black ops agent Emerson Kent. After his latest mission goes disastrously wrong, the veteran is given one last chance to prove he still has what it takes to do his job. His new assignment is guarding Katherine (Akerman), a code operator at a top-secret remote CIA "Numbers Station" where encrypted messages are sent and received.
When an elite team of heavily armed assailants lays siege to the station, Emerson and Katherine suddenly find themselves in a life-or-death struggle against an unknown enemy. With the station compromised and innocent lives at stake, they must stop the deadly plot before it's too late.
"The Numbers Station" will open Stateside on April 26. Also starring in the action thriller are Lucy Griffiths, Liam Cunningham, Hannah Murray, Richard Brake and Joey Ansah. Kasper Barfoed tackles the helming duty, while F. Scott Frazier works to pen the script.

I thought I'd write one last blog about Florida fishing. In short, it's on fire. I've caught more big bass this year than I ever have in the past. There's a good reason for that — management.
Back in the old days — you'll recall my blog a couple of weeks ago about my teenage fishing trip down here — we all wanted a 10-pound bass. That was the Holy Grail for bass anglers. The only place we knew to get one was Florida. Texas and California weren't on our radar in those days.
A lot of us caught them that big, too. Unfortunately, however, most of us had them stuffed and hung on a wall someplace. I'm on Okeechobee, and in every small, out-of-the-way tackle shop I go into, I see a bunch of them nailed to a wall — yellow, broken and covered in dust. They're symbols of times long ago.
In fairness, we didn't know any better 30 years ago. We caught bass, mounted or ate them and went fishing again the next morning. We thought of fish as a never-ending resource, if we thought of them as a resource at all. That was just how things were back then.
Today it's different. We know that bass — especially big bass — can be fished out. The gene pool can be badly damaged, even destroyed. As a consequence we take better care of them now, and nowhere is that more evident than in Florida.
The really big ones are handled with care. We don't kill them. We revere them. We put them back into the water so they can pass those giant-making genes on to another generation. The results are telling. Thank Ray Scott for that.
Of course, it's not all about us anglers. The natural resources people are doing a good job, too. They're learning about growing big bass, and they're taking pains to stock and manage the lakes right. Don't ever sell their efforts short. They're doing a good job.
Not so many years ago there were whispers around that Florida fishing wasn't what it once was. The big, 10-pound-plus females were getting rare. Some anglers went so far as to call Florida the most overrated bass fishing state in our country.
Not so anymore. At the last Open on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, Gerald Swindle won that with 15 bass that weighed more than 80 pounds. That's better than a 5-pound average. At the same time, Marty Robinson averaged almost 3 pounds per fish and he finished 12th. The weigh-in was astounding. Angler after angler brought 7-, 8- and 9-pounders to the scales. I caught a 10-10 and couldn't claim big bass honors.
So, if your goal is a giant bass, one you can brag about for years, put Florida on your list of places to visit. It's back!

An excellent story, well worth of The Twilight Zone!
John Lawton
One of my very favorite episodes. Very well done. Love the story, and the actors are wonderful. Would love to see this one as a movie.
I think this episode would be perfect if made for an antholgy tv series like Night Gallery or Twilight Zone.
John Lawton
A cosmetic executive is determined to aquire the formula for a miraculous rejuvenating cream sold by a strange little shop that specializes in natural products that have been saturated with moonlight. Moonlight? You heard that right. Despite her husband's warnings to be wary of this strange shop and the odd effects its products are having upon her, the woman pursues her goal to discover the secret of the moonlight products...and pays a heavy price for the knowledge. A strange little episode with a great performance by Kim Hunter. Genre: Sci-fi
Evie juster is great in all of her supporting roles. She has a very distinctive and young voice.
John Lawton
A cosmetics firm executive purchases some make-up from a new company. She soon develops a strong desire for moon bathing.
Jessica Hartford
Def one of the best from CBSRMT. The ending is really very good! Love the whole story, it rolls along at just the right pace, not too boring and not too fast.
Doug Proulx
In this episode, the main characters at the end ride off in a spaceship, and it is understood that the passengers will be the "food" for an alien race? This episode, and "The Tell-Tale Heart," scared me when I was a kid! Similiar "To Serve Man" which was an episode of Twilight Zone ( The first Simpsons treehouse of horror). It's one of my favorites.
Excellent episode, kind of a Science Fiction Rosemary's Baby. Some of the best Mystery Theater Episodes are about regular people getting into strange circumstances, another type like that is Sagamore Cottage
This is hands down my favorite episode. I found it accidentally when I was searching for the first CBSRMT episode I ever listened to, in September 1974, "The Garden".
Steve Bergman
"Garden of the Moon" is a charming tale with the kind of twist that I love in a Mystery Theater episode, with a Sci-Fi flair that wasn't too common in the series but when done, was done well. The narrative moves at a leisurely pace that is perfect for getting to know these few but well-developed and quite likable characters. Bob Juhren is a writer with whom I am not very familiar, but after listening to this tale, I'll be checking out more of his work. I'm not certain, but was the minor character of lab scientist Erik Harrison played by Himan Brown? I really enjoyed this story! I hope you do too. - Juror #4
Moonbathing... Have to try that! Great story and I always enjoy Himan Browns's voice.
Gina schackel
Gina, Make sure to wear your SPF -15 moonscreen. It will help to "tenderize" you. "To Serve Man! It's a cookbook!!!" -Steve
Steve Bergman
It's a Cookbook! LOL! :)
I rate this episode ★★★★☆ for GOOD. Bob Juhren wrote a Fantasy Mystery that was "Out of this World" with a good set of characters, captivating plot points that involve the Moonlight, and a surprising ending. And that's when you realize it's similar to the 89th episode of the TWILIGHT ZONE called "To Serve Man." In the TV episode, they used a cook book. In this CBSRMT episode, the "Lunarians" sell their vegetables to humans so they can "nourish" them. Their Luna Light Lotion is like a turkey baster; so it can give humans that "coated glow." And as for the moon bathing scenes, that's their way of "baking" them. Clever story idea, but easy to compare to the TV episode. The Title of this episode is good; another way to title it would be "Harvest Moon." The sound effects of slamming the phone, glassware, store bell ringing, rotary phone, high winds blowing at the balcony, traffic noise, grocery bag, birds chirping, tableware, paper sheet of the results, crowds murmuring, bus engine running, high speed elevator, doors, and the whirling sound of the space craft were effective. And the music was highly effective, bringing in the suspense, curiosity, and the mystifying melodies that were phenomenal. In our Host's Prologue, E.G. Marshall's focused on the moonlight and recommends us to hear the song "Clair de Lune" by pianist Claude Debussy. In ACT-1, he introduces us to our main character in the Cosmetic Industry. Later on, after knowing what the character bought, he asks does the moonlight have special powers. More importantly, in ACT-2, he explains that the moonlight can be soft & romantic or it could be cold & eerie. In ACT-3, as the story progresses, our Host informs us that our main character is getting her chance to go find the source. In the end, he tells us all that the Lunarians now have their "gourmet flare." In his Epilogue, E.G. Marshall would wonder about the Lunarians & the unknown planet of Lunarius; concluding his narrations. And of course there's our cast: Kim Hunter (as Yolanda Westerville), Paul Hecht (as Bill Westerville & Eric Harrison), Evie Juster (as Roxy & the Voice from Lunarius), and Ralph Bell (as Dr. Lunestra). Bravo to Ralph Bell for playing the villain. Kudos to Evie Juster; this is one of those episodes where she gets to speak regularly, like she was being herself. Paul Hecht is one of my favorite actors on CBSRMT. And as for our leading lady, Kim Hunter, astonishing acting; especially in ACT-2 where she's infatuated by the moonlight and speaks poetically during the moon bathing. If you're a fan of Kim Hunter, check this episode out. Better yet, play this episode whenever there's a Full Moon. Until next time…pleasant dreams. =0)
Loved this one, it was delicious...
I loved this episode and yes as Russel already has pointed out it is very easy to compare to the twilight zone episode of "To Serve Man". (one of my favorites) I think Ralph bell is just excellent in this episode and as I recall all episodes he has been in are good as well. The ending is disturbing while being ironically humorous to us weird folks I suppose. I recall another epsdeo of , I think, The twilight zone where the person in in a space craft and is being encouraged to eat eat eat!!! on his way to his slaughter when they reach the home planet of his captures... Anyone recall that episode as well?
This is one of my favorite episodes too. I like to listen to it at least a couple of times a year.
Great episode. Not crazy about the ending, but I love the rest of it.
One of my favorites.
I enjoyed this one a lot! Yes, the ending was a bit disturbing.
Oh, I love this one. Kin Hunter got what she deserved. Poor Roxie.
This is episode is a bit of a masterclass in pacing. It's also a wonderful combination of the Twilight Zone episodes 'Black Leather Jackets' and 'To Serve Man', as well as the film Halloween 3: Season of the Witch.
Jordan N
Kim Hunter was my classmate and childhood chum on the arborway!! It recall thoughts of my driver Mr Cook taking me to the apothecary to procure make up and the like!! Oh but imagine moonbathing! On Jamaica pond! KH sure got her come-uppance!!! If ever an episode with a full moon to make you howl at it this one is it!

Phone BoxSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
A man is found dead in a phone box. There is glass everywhere and two broken windows.
How did he die?
AnswerHe was a fisherman who phoned home to say he had caught a fish that was "this big" - flung his arms out and cut his wrists on the glass as he broke the 2 windows.

A BOURNEMOUTH builder was left jumping for joy after winning £1million on a scratchcard during his coffee break.
John Abreu, 37, said he plans to buy his family a new home after becoming an instant millionaire.
The father of six, who bought the £5 National lottery scratchcard on Monday, said: "I bought a scratchcard and although I didn't win on that one I had a feeling I might get lucky, so thought it was worth another shot and bought another one.
"I scratched it there in the store and was screaming when I realised I had won. I have only won the odd £10 or £30 before, so was in absolute shock to see I had won £1million."
Mr Abreu and his wife Silvana, who works as a healthcare assistant, have been renting a house in Bournemouth. Thanks to their life-changing win the couple now are looking forward to owning their very own family home.
Mr Abreu said when he first called his wife to share the good news she didn't believe him.
He said: "My friend was outside and had to call her to convince her that it was true. She is delighted and can't wait for us to have our own house."
Mr Abreu, who runs his own home improvement company, J Construction UK ltd, celebrated his windfall yesterday at the Christchurch Harbour Hotel and Spa.
He said: "It still hasn't really sunk in. This win has changed our lives and given us security for the future. We have rented for a while, so having our own home will be really good for our family."
One in 4,232,860 chance
LAST month a mystery man from Poole won a staggering £4million on a National Lottery scratchcard.
The lucky winner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, scooped the jackpot prize after playing a £10 Gold scratchcard bought from the Spar in Bournemouth Road, Ashley Cross.
There have only ever been four £4Million Gold scratchcards in circulation and the Poole winner is the second person to hit the jackpot.
According to National Lottery scratchcard operators Camelot, there was a one in 4,232,860 chance of winning £4m.

Experimental project
This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.
A documentation system that can be used for creating and editing simple DocBook documents, quickly and easily, from a web interface. It uses a simple text markup syntax, similar to a wiki markup, to denote some of the most commonly used DocBook elements. Then, this markup can be converted to HTML for being displayed on a browser, and most importantly, can be converted to XML for exporting the documents in the DocBook format.
Two custom modules are being developed, which allow to create, edit, import and export simple DocBook documents. An installation profile is being developed as well, which will try to make sure that the installation/configuration is done easily, it includes all the needed modules and features, and it provides a working system out-of-the-box.
The number of tags/elements that can be used in a DocBook document is huge (see: http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/part2.html). Fortunately, the structure of a DocBook document is very flexible, not all of the tags are required, and with a very small subset of them one can write pretty good DocBook documents. DocBookWiki employs a very small subset of DocBook tags, which usually are enough to write manuals or other technical documents for programs or applications. Maybe later it can also become extensible, in order to support other types of documents as well.
