text: I am going to buy a new watch. I am not sure what brand or type yet. I wear a large gold college ring that my girlfriend thinks is tacky, but I earned it, so I wear it. Because of the ring, I am unsure whether to get a gold watch or one with gold in it. I prefer a diver's watch in stainless steel. What do you think?

PureVPN Review
With more than 50 providers on the Internet, how does one choose the best VPN service? Even then, every user has different needs for using a VPN: security, anonymity, privacy, unrestricted access, and for some users, all the aforementioned.
On the outset, PureVPN appears to be a high quality VPN provider, with seemingly good attention to detail as far as their website is concerned, and a comprehensive set of user guides, arguably one of the best you'll get from a VPN provider. Whether this tells the whole story about the company or not is another thing altogether. The following review gives details about the service and features that PureVPN offers and whether it is the right provider to enlist.
Pricing Plans
PureVPN offers a simple, no-frills pricing structure with only two plans: Standard and Unlimited Plan. The former is offered at $9.95 per month while the latter is available at $18.00 per month. A comprehensive comparison chart is available on the official website where you can compare the two plans. With the standard plan, you get a monthly cap of 32MB bandwidth while the Unlimited plan offers unlimited usage – unsurprisingly.
As you would expect, users who commit to a plan for the long-term receive big discounts. For instance, you will only pay $74.95 a year for the standard plan, which works out to a discount of 37%. If you subscribe to the Unlimited plan for one year, you pay $160, working out to $13.33 per month compared to $18. That's a whopping 26 percent discount on the $18 monthly payment.
There is also a non-refundable $2.5 trial account or a measly 3-day money back guarantee when you purchase any of the two packages. Users have a wide range of payment options to choose from, including debit and credit cards, PayPal, AlertPay, Moneybookers, WebMoney, and even Western Union for orders exceeding $100.
Protocols and Security Level
PureVPN supports a number of protocols including OpenVPN, PPTP, SSTP, SSL, and L2TP/IPSec. With these technologies, the company employs 128-bit encryption to protect users' data. Undoubtedly, this is not the strongest protection you can get from a VPN service but it is more than enough for the majority of Internet users.
According to the company's privacy policy, they state that they will never hand over any details pertaining to their customers "unless" the law requires them to do so. Obviously, it is apparent that they do maintain logs about important user details such as log-on and off times, some activities, email addresses, and more.
Customer Service
One of the most touted services that PureVPN offers is there impeccable 24/7 customer support and it's pleasant to know that they do live up to their claims – to a large extent. On the official website, a prominent live chat icon is displayed in the right hand corner of the page and if you put it to the test, you will receive a response in a few seconds.
In addition, the company offers a ticketing system, an active forum, and a fairly detailed FAQ section.
Pros and Cons
PureVPN stands out for impeccable customer support, superb client software, and superior performance on a range of devices.
On the downside, the company's privacy policy is wanting as they do maintain user logs and email addresses. Also, the discount structure on the two packages is confusing as users get a bigger discount on the 'Standard' plan rather than the 'Unlimited' plan.
To make things worse, PureVPN servers were compromised early this month and the intruders allegedly obtained access to users' email addresses. Without a doubt, this type of breach hugely compromises the trust that users have in the company. While the company's service is unquestionably excellent, these recent events should make you think twice before buying a package.

A top official at Johns Hopkins University issued a statement Friday labeling Ben Carson's comments about gay marriage "offensive" and said the school will meet with students who want him removed as commencement speaker.
Carson, meanwhile, offered a fuller apology for the comments, which compared gay marriage to bestiality and pedophilia.
Dr. Paul Rothman, the dean of medical faculty at Johns Hopkins University, said in a statement that Carson's words were offensive but emphasized the school's belief in free speech as well.
"We recognize that tension now exists in our community because hurtful, offensive language was used by our colleague, Dr. Ben Carson, when conveying a personal opinion," Rothman said. "Dr. Carson's comments are inconsistent with the culture of our institution.
"We have been carefully listening to the varied opinions expressed by members of our community in response to Dr. Carson's comments. ... We are trying to thoughtfully work through these issues, and as part of that process, we will be meeting with graduating students on Monday."
Carson, who delivered a not-quite-apology earlier this week, issued a fuller one to the school in a separate e-mail Friday.
"I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused," Carson said in the letter, which was first reported by New York Magazine. "But what really saddens me is that my poorly chosen words caused pain for some members of our community and for that I offer a most sincere and heartfelt apology.
Carson added: "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words."
Carson was asked in an interview last week on Fox News Channel about his position on gay marriage. Unprompted, he made references to bestiality and the North American Man/Boy Love Association, a group that seeks to overturn laws against consensual relationships between adults and minors.
"It's a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group — be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesn't matter what they are — they don't get to change the definition," Carson said. "So it's not something that is against gays; it's against anybody who wants to come along and change the fundamental definitions of pillars of society. It has significant ramifications."
Carson backed off the comments during a later interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. But he also said that he had been taken out of context, and there continued to be a backlash on the Johns Hopkins campus, with Carson set to deliver the commencement address.
Students at the school have been circulating a petition urging that Carson be removed from the speaking slot, but the school has resisted that pressure so far.
Carson emerged as a conservative darling this year when he delivered a speech critical of President Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast, with Obama sitting close by. In his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference last month, Carson alluded twice to increasing speculation that he might run for president in 2016 and announced his official retirement from medicine.

Stephen Philip Jordan, 15 January 1919, New York, USA, d. 13 September 1993, Alexandria, Virginia, USA. Jordan studied guitar with Allan Reuss who had played with Benny Goodmans band. Jordan performed with the big bands of Will Bradley and Artie Shaw before the war took him off for service in the navy. On his return he played in a series of big bands - the Casa Loma Orchestra, Stan Kenton, Jimmy Dorsey and Boyd Raeburn. In the early 50s Jordan became a member of the NBC production staff as well as providing the guitar in the rhythm section on many of the sessions produced by John Hammond. Given his role and ability as rhythm guitarist, he has often been compared to guitarist Freddie Green with Count Basies Orchestra. After completing three years with Benny Goodman in the mid-50s he worked more regularly as a tailor. It was only in 1965 he returned to full-time music with the band of Tommy Gwaltney at Blues Alley in Washington. Not to be confused with...

Is Building Brand Loyalty Tougher Than Ever?
With more ways than ever for consumers to get what they need when they need it, it's tougher for retailers to build and maintain brand loyalty online. Online shoppers are in fact the most demanding of all shoppers, with high expectations surrounding the breadth of products offered, up-to-date pricing including sales and promotions, a variety of shipping options and more detailed information than is available in a retail store or catalog.
It is a highly competitive online market space and it is not always the traditional multi-channel retailers that are top of mind when shopping online. In our newly released Brand Loyalty Whitepaper leveraging privately-funded research undertaken with BRS Group Modern Research earlier this year, we found that only eight e-retailers score higher than 6% in unaided recall among online shoppers. Further, social media, more than advertising, is shaping customers' perceptions on businesses (reviews, feedback forums, blogs, etc.) and the result is an influenced economy that is forcing everyone in the public realm—including the owners of products and brands—to become more transparent, open, conversational and honest. Merchandisers are now in a position where they will have to rethink the way influence is distributed and the new role of marketing communications in an information landscape dictated by consumers.
A few affordable suggestions to gain the much-needed traction e-retailers are after include price transparency, product interactivity (connecting with customers via live chat), RIA's to create an overall engaging online experience and feedback forums to encourage shoppers to share their recommendations with others.
Our research shows that online shoppers are still walking away from shopping carts (an epidemic rarely seen offline) mainly because there is a lack of information, even less engaging content, and little promise that security (still a top concern for consumers) won't be compromised. How are you stopping this trend? We would love to hear about loyalty tactics that have worked for you. It's important to us to share that kind of insight with our customers and reveal problem-solving techniques we know can make a difference in ROI. Download the new whitepaper here.

IMF case sparks outcries in S.A., 7 other cities.
Updated 7:26 pm, Thursday, June 2, 2011
Protesters gathered in front of the Hyatt Regency on Thursday afternoon to speak out against the sexual abuse of hospitality employees after allegations of an attempted rape of a New York City hotel housekeeper by International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
About 25 former and current hotel employees and local activists showed up to the rally, organized by labor union Unite Here, which holds protests in front of San Antonio's two downtown Hyatt hotels about once a month to denounce the hotel operator's allegedly unsafe working conditions.
"Sometimes when people see you as a hotel worker they think you are a robot," said Maria Soto, a housekeeper at the downtown Grand Hyatt who was among the crowd. "They think you have a million uses, and they don't respect you."
Unite Here coordinated protests Thursday at Hyatt hotels in Chicago; Toronto; Los Angeles; Sacramento, Calif.; Phoenix; Boston; Indianapolis; and San Antonio.
Business Channel
The group had tried to unionize workers at the Grand Hyatt but withdrew from the process in 2009.
"We ask all of our associates to report safety and security concerns right away to their manager," Hyatt officials said in a prepared statement. "Anytime an associate raises a concern, we take it very seriously, promptly investigate the situation, and follow up as appropriate."

text: CarolinaPanthers8789 4,525 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 Alright guys, I won't be here with you tonight because I made the trip down from college to come back home so I could go to the game tonight. Because there is not much info out yet, this game day thread is going to be a little makeshift. Any who, tonight is an important one. The SED lead is riding on this game and once again the Canes will be missing a lot of bodies. Skinner, Brent, and McBain are definitely no goes and as far as I know, so are Pitkanen and Gleason. However, Skinner did skate this morning in a yellow (non-contact) jersey. The lineups have not been announced but a few people have leaked info that Andreas Nodl will be the healthy extra tonight (not sure why, as he has been playing great so far) and Jeremy Welsh will be centering the fourth line. The Canes will roll with Dan Ellis in net tonight (thank God) and his counterpart will be Mathieu Garon who happens to be 1-3 on this young season (his only win on the season comes against the Canes). In other news, the Lightning will be without Ryan Malone tonight as they have sent him to IR. With that said... GO CANES Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So as you may guess from my previous reviews, I was spoilt this Christmas with a whole load of Guerlain goodies and this eye shadow was one of them. I got my singular eye shadow in a plum colour, but there are a whole load that you can pick, so I am sure you will get something that suits. As a present it makes a lovely little gift, but if you buy one for yourself then it's going to leave a dent in your purse because these bad boys retail for around £20 in department stores.
The eyeshadow comes in a nice gold compact, which has a mirror on the inside and as you can see in the picture above it comes with it's own applicator. I find this compact is a nice handy size to pop into your handbag or into your makeup case.
The eyeshadow itself is a nice texture and it's dead easy to apply. The shade that have produces a very deep plum colour, so I normally wear it for nights out rather than everyday wear. I'm not sure what the other shades look like, so I guess you would have to try them out for yourself. I found that the colour lasted well, at least for my entire night out rather than getting clumped up in my eyelids. It didn't irritate my sensitive skin or cause me to have an ezcema breakout, so all in all I was very happy with it.
Would I pay the £20 to buy it myself? Probably not, because after all it is just an eyeshadow. Don't get me wrong I think it is lovely and am thrilled to have been given one, but it is a lot of money to spend on one piece of makeup, no matter what brand it is. So in conclusion, just hope that someone is kind and buys you one as a gift!
As part of my bumper Guerlain themed Christmas stocking, I got these lovely bronzing pearls (which what they basically are). They come in a round cardboard container that has a pretty bronzing pearl design around the outside. You can get various different colour combinations to suit your own particular skin. My set is for fairer skins with a hint of red (from my lovely rosy cheeks). So the bronzing pearls are a mixture of quite strange colours, there is green to counteract red, and series of light pinks, purples, browns and yellows...sounds weird doesn't it?
Well obviously if you painted green or purple all over your face you would look silly. However, a sweep of a big powder brush over the pearls and then over your cheek bones gives a lovely light blusher that adds a nice colour to your face. As with all bronzing pearls you can use this product all over your face for a general glow, just as a highlighter for your cheek bones, over your t-zone or even around your collar bone area.
I found this product gave a nice natural finish to my make-up. I wear it on it's own for a day when I want a natural face or over foundation for a full makeup day. My skin is also sensitive, so I am pleased to say that this bronzer doesn't react with my skin or cause my ezcema to flair up.
Now being Guerlain this bronzer is expensive, obviously I didn't buy this for myself, however I have had a look online and you're going to be looking at around £35 to buy this. Personally I don't think that this product is worth this and I wouldn't buy it for myself, although I won't be upset if Santa puts it in my stocking again!
Another little present in my Christmas stocking was this Guerlain mascara. Having just written two reviews about other similar gifts that I got from Guerlain, I am not surprised that this mascara retails from £20. Personally given how much everything else from Guerlain costs, I don't actually think that this is a bad price.
The mascara itself comes in a gold tube that is very elegant and sleek. The difference between this mascara and all of the others is that it uses a two brush system. A little fidldy you may think (and you would be right), however, I actually think the results make this faffing on worth it. There is a normal mascara sized brush and a much smaller brush that allows you to get at the smaller eyelashes. This means that you actually acheive a much wider eyed look than just using the normal brush.
The mascara itself has a nice consistency, being quite smooth and not at all lumpy. I've found that I only need to use one application to get a good everyday look, which might actually make this a more cost effective purchase than a cheap mascara that needs several applications. My eyelashes don't look spidery or clumped up and although it takes a bit longer than usual to put this mascara on I have to say that I think it's worth it.
All in all a lovely gift and not really an expensive mascara to buy for yourself. I really do think that this is one Guerlain product that's worth buying for yourself!
As I have mentioned in a previous review, I was very lucky this year and got quite a few lovely beauty products in my Christmas stocking. This Guerlain lip balm was one of these lovely gifts, which is lucky because you can never have enough lip balm in the winter. I received a light pink one called Rose Venus, and I think this must be the lightest one available.
The packaging is a nice classy brown swirly pattern on the lid, with the rest of the container being clear. The one thing that I am not keen on with this lip balm is that it is one of those that you apply with your fingers. This means that not only can you introduce bacteria from your fingers into the pot, but you end up with sticky fingers after applying the lip balm....not a great result.
The product itself is a very hard lip balm, so you will find that you have to warm it up a little bit before using it. It's also has quite a thick and sticky consistency, which means you don't need to put a lot on. I find the best thing to do is to use a lip brush to apply this, which isn't convenient if you wish to have this in your handbag. The finish is a really nice lightly tinted pink colour (for my shade of lip balm anyway), so you don't need to wear lipstick as well. It last for a long time on your lips and doesn't feel too sticky once applied.
In terms of price, I have to say I was pretty horrified to find out that this 5ml tub of lip balm costs £16.99. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised given that it is a high end brand, but I don't think I would purchase this again for myself, unless it was on offer. Mind you I wouldn't say no to it appearing in my stocking again!
I think perhaps my family were making hints this Christmas because I got lots of lovely beauty products in my stocking. This Guerlain KissKiss Gloss was just one of them, I got number 864 Rose colour, which is (as you would imagine) a light pink, rose colour. I think this is a nice natural looking colour, and seems to suit my complexion, which is fair. It also doesn't look like I've got a really dark colour on, which I dislike.
The packaging is pretty standard for a lipgloss, a square tube with a gold lid, which is embossed with the Guerlain logo. The applicator, inside the head has a flat end, which makes putting the lipgloss on very easy and accurate.
In terms of applying the gloss, it's a nice smooth consistency, that isn't sticky, so putting it on is very straightforward. I found the colour to have a nice pearly sheen, rather than a massive high gloss impact. However, I have found that some high gloss lipglosses tend to make you look like you have been dribbling, so tend to avoid them. The colour didn't bleed and it stayed on my lips without reapplying for a good couple of hours, except when I had a drink, in which case I needed to reapply. I didn't notice a fragrance with this product and it didn't irritate my sensitive skin.
Now I got this as gift, so it wasn't until I came on here to write this review that I noticed how expensive it was. You'll pay between £18 and £21 depending on where you buy it from. The cheapest prices seem to be online, so I would recommend trying them in your local department store and then searching for the colour you like online.
All in all a gorgeous luxury lipgloss, that is well worth the spend....go on treat yourself!
We purchased one of these chillers in the run up to Christmas to keep everyones drinks cool at our parties. We got a good deal at Argos and bought it for just under £90, which I thought was a little pricey for a drinks fridge, but my other half was determined.
The fridge is medium sized, 43.5 x 47.5 x 50.0 cm and it has a 50 litre capacity, which means it can fit 36 cans or bottles of beer and around 16 bottles of wine. We thought this would be more than enough for our parties and small enough to fit into our kitchen. Once set up on the side and plugged in (the flex is pretty long) it was cool within an hour, and so soon stocked up. We found it very useful for our Christmas parties, but now it has been put into storage awaiting the summer parties. I'm sure that it is mainly designed for those who want it permanently in their kitchen, but we don't drink enough wine to warrant the power usage.
I've seen a couple of people suggest that this could be used for keeping food in for students or those working away from home. I think this would be a good use if you had one already (although it does take a couple of people to lift and move this thing!) but I wouldn't buy one specifically for that purpose. In fact I think for £90 you could pick up a much bigger fridge either in a sale or second hand that would be perfect for students.
In summary I have to say that this is a good drinks fridge, that is very useful if you are often entertaining. If you only throw the occasional party though I would probably think twice about buying this because it will be unused most of the time!
Well I was well and truly spoilt rotten this Christmas and one of the little gifts in my stocking was this daily facial kit from Dr Hauschka. I've just had a look and you can pick one of these up for around £15, which isn't too bad because you get to try a few of the products that retail for around £13 each. Inside the box you get a Clarifying Toner 10ml, Cleansing Clay Mask 10g, Normalising Day oil 5ml, Rejuvenating Mask 5g and Cleansing Cream 10g. Obviously the products are just trial sized and you only get a couple of goes with them. So you can either use this kit to test out Dr Hauschka skincare and see if it suits your skin, or alternatively (which is what I am going to do) you can use them as travel sized versions.
In terms of how the products feel on your skin, well for me with my sensitive, ezcema prone skin I find these products to be quite calming. I like the fact that Dr Hauschka products don't use anything except natural products, no additives or preservatives and they boast about using medicinal herbs. Now I don't know whether these facts are the reason why I find these products so nice on my skin, but they suit my skin type so I'm happy. I also didn't have an outbreak after using them either.
Obviously this is designer brand and so this and the full sized products have a designer price tag (which is why I like to get them as gifts). The packaging is very plain and some may say boring, but I quite like the minimalist look.
All in all a great little set for either trying out the products to see if you want to buy the full sized versions or to use as travel sized versions.
We bought this Kenwood ice cream maker because we love ice cream, wanted to have a go at making our own and didn't want to spend too much money. We bought ours from Amazon.co.uk for £29.99, which I think is quite reasonable. There are only 3 of us in the house so I didn't think that we needed anything bigger than this, which has a 1.1 litre capacity. To be honest it isn't often we eat more than a litre of ice cream at any one time.
This ice cream maker is really easy to use, you have to make sure that the pan has been in the freezer for 24 hours before you can make ice cream. Then you can make up any of the recipes that are in the accompanying book or just wing it and make your own combination of ingredients. I agree with a previous reviewer that if you like the combination of a few ingredients then they will probably make a really tasty ice cream.
The whole process takes around 30 minutes and you know the mixture is done when the paddle is struggling to mix the ice cream. Then you can either eat the ice cream in it's soft Mr Whippy style state or pour it into a container and freeze it for a couple of hours to get a harder ice cream.
In terms of cleaning, everything comes apart and cleans reasonably easily, although I don't use the dishwasher.
All in all a great little ice cream maker that means we are no longer a slave to Ben and Jerry's or Haagen Daaz!
When we had out first baby, we chose this pramette because it turns from a flat pram into a pushchair, so I thought it was good value for money. I paid £250 for this pramette, which seemed quite reasonable.
The first downside is that it doesn't come assembled, so it required a bit of effort trying to work out how to put it together. I suppose the upside of this is you can be sure everything is tightened and secure for putting your little darling in.
I liked having baby face me when he was little, and was a bit annoyed that I couldn't continue that when he was able to sit up, because the pushchair part faces outwards.
The basket underneath the pram is massive, so you can fit loads of shopping in there. However, many of the other accessories didn't come with my pram, I had to buy the cosy toes and a rain cover. I also didn't like how bulky the pram was when it was folded, it takes up almost all of the boot of my other halfs car and is quite bulky when getting on and off the bus. If I were to buy another pram I think I would choose one that I could fold up more easily and was lighter to handle, especially if I had to use the bus a lot.
On the plus side the pram seems quite solid and I find it easy when walking up hills. The handles also extend, which is handy if you or your partner is tall.
A final negative is the brakes don't seem to be as good as they really should be, once on the pram can still be moved, which is not something I am comfortable with.
All in all if I were going to buy a pram again I would probably choose something else, that suits my lifestyle more, but this pram was good enough to see our little on through to the walking stage!
When our kettle finally gave up the ghost we needed to buy a black replacement (to match the colour scheme in our kitchen). This Breville seemed to be the only option in Argos and costing £26.99 we thought it would be fine. The kettle itself is a smart, sleek design, only let down with a couple of grey bits of plastic. The unique thing about this kettle is that when you start to boil the water, there is a blue light and when it's done the light turns red. I don't really know what purpose this serves other than looking aesthetically pleasing. I wouldn't choose to purchase this kettle purely for the pretty light, as it really is a bit pointless.
In terms of the technical stuff you can have the kettle stand set up for right or left handed people, something I like. It has a capacity of 1.7 litres, that equals about 8 good cups of coffee/tea. It's quite a high wattage kettle, so it boils faster than other lower wattage kettles. The only downside I've found is that it's quite a bad pourer, which isn't a good thing when you're pouring out boiling water.
I don't think I would buy this kettle again, unless it was the only one that matched my kitchen decor. It doesn't do anything special other than boil water, but makes out like it is an amazing innovation by having flashing lights.
This is another one of the digital photo frames that I have at home, this one is considerably cheaper than the Sony one, costing around £19 online. I don't think it looks cheaper than the Sony one and seems to have more of less all of the features that the Sony frame does. The image of the frame makes it look like black, but in reality it's more of a mahogany or dark brown colour.
As with all digital frames you can load up photos onto the internal memory, but there isn't a lot of room. I tend to plug in a USB flash drive, just a small one so that it doesn't stick out of the back. That way I can have the frame cycling through as many pictures as I like. You can also use the SD card straight from your camera, although I wouldn't advise buying a separate one for the frame as these are more expensive than flash drives and are more difficult to get pictures back onto.
I really like this frame, it fits in with my decor and allows me to look at all of my pictures and memories. The only thing you have to have is a free plug socket nearby and then you're set to roll.
The age of digital photographs is brilliant, everyone can take loads of pictures and choose from the best ones. The problem is that you are left with hundreds of photos that are expensive to print out and then once you've done that where do you keep them? Well digital photoframes solve this problem, allowing you to display as many photos as you like in a slide show. I have a couple of these frames, and my favourite is this Sony offering. Despite being expensive in comparison to the others (around £60 online) I really like the clarity of the pictures and am a bit of sucker for Sony products.
The frame is about the same size as a standard 6x4 photo frame and has a sleek black outline. Set up is straightforward, literally get out of the box, plug in and slide your camera's SD card. Then the frame cycles through all of your pictures. You can also plug in a USB flash drive and cycle through all your photos on there. If neither of these options suit then plug it into your computer and load pictures up from there, the memory holds around 500. The frame itself has some nifty features, including being able to rotate the pictures when you change it from landscape to portrait, so they are always the correct way up. It also has a built in timer so will switch itself automatically at night and remote control for when you are having a lazy sofa day.
All in all a very modern sleek way to showcase all of your family photos in one place.
I was quite excited to receive my first epilator for Christmas this year, although also a little apprehensive when thinking about the pain. This Braun Silk-epil comes with both a razor and an epilator, which you can use together. It's also fully waterproof, meaning you can use it in the shower rather than after your shower. I first tried this dry and although I would say it was a little uncomfortable to start with, I soon got used to the pain. The epilator managed to remove even the shortest of hairs on my legs, missing only the very finest (I have since read that all epilators struggle with these). When finished my legs had no red marks and felt nice and smooth. The only problem is the head itself is quite large and inflexible and makes doing around your ankles and knees quite difficult. I suppose that it's handy it comes with a razor too so you can touch up these areas. I have since tried epilating in the shower and found that once wet this epilator was less efficient in terms of hair removal and also left me with red spots where the hairs had been removed.
In terms of cleaning, being a waterproof model means you can rinse everything under water, but it also comes with attachments for dry cleaning. Other positives about this model is that it's rechargeable so you are not restricted by a cord or cable and can happily remove your hair in front of the tv, although how the rest of your family will feel about this I don't know. I also found that it didn't make that much noise when I was using it. I was however, shocked when I saw that it retails for around £169.99, so make sure you look out for deals and grab a bargain.
All in all a good first time epilator that wasn't too painful to use!
This film based on the West Point murders in Edinburgh was released at Halloween, but I can't say that it was actually that scary. More of a semi-comical look into the lives of two well known murders in Edinburgh. William Burke and William Hare were Irish navvies, who were always trying to make a fast buck, they're schemeing always seemed to land them in hot water and if it weren't for the income from Mrs Hare's guest house they would all be stone cold broke. After returning from one of these schemes, they find Mrs Hare upset because one of her lodgers has died, which meant a loss of income. Tasked with disposing of the body, Burke and Hare realise that there is a market for cadavers at an Edinburgh Medical School. When they are given a good price, they realise that they might be onto a good thing. Cue the pair putting another lodger out of his misery, causing a huge obese man to have a heart attack and a whole host of waifs and strays disappearing.
I won't spoil the ending by telling all, but just as in the true story everything begins to unravel. I found Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis did a great job as these two characters. The story isn't a laugh out loud comedy, rather a dark, black comedy which will have you smirking rather than chuckling. The story itself is also quite predicatable, even for those who have never heard of the West Point murders. But on a positive note there are some excellent cameos from famous actors, as well as Bill Bailey as narrator and Ronnie Corbett as the Captain of militia. I think the film could have been better, but wasn't a total disappointment, not once did I want to turn it off, although I don't think I would watch it again!
All in all a good black British comedy, with rather convincing accents!
This I think can safely now be called a Disney classic, seeing as it's 22 years old. It was released on DVD in 2006 and I think is still available, although Disney often have their films on sale for a limited time only. The story doesn't seem to have dated at all and tells the tale of Ariel a mermaid who is the youngest daughter of King Triton. She has a a sidekick called Flounder who accompanies her everywhere and is often being harassed by a hermit crab called Sebastian who is an assistant to the king. Ariel falls in love with a 'been' otherwise known as Eric a prince from the mysterious world on the land. Cue several sing along quality musical moments, including Under the Sea and Kiss the Girl. A misadventure with Ursula the sea witch to get legs and a race against time trying to make Eric fall in love with her without being able to speak.
I have always found this to be a very charming film, and the music is very memorable, especially Ariels little song. It's a typical boy meets mermaid, boy falls for mermaid, mermaid falls for boy, mermaid exchanges her voice for legs and then boy doesn't know whether she is the one he fell for. As with most Disney films, it all ends happily and they literally sail off into the sunset. I think perhaps this a film made more for girls than boys, as both my other half and my little boy surprisingly didn't like it as much as I did!

Egyptians Museums around the World
Egyptian Museum If you're interested in Egyptian antiquities and the extremely interesting culture and history of the Egyptians then of course the best place for you to go is a museum. We all know about the Egyptian Museum which is based in Cairo and it is know also as Cairo Museum– but what about other museums around the world?
Throughout this article we'll be discussing two of the best Egyptian museums that are based in countries other than Egypt. These museums give you a great opportunity to venture away from Egypt whilst still learning about the vast culture and history.
Why It's Important to Venture outside of Egypt
Egyptian history and culture is an exciting thing to learn about and study in-depth, it spans back thousands of years and holds secrets that we still can't put together today.
Those of us who are interested in learning about everything Egypt has to offer have most probably been to the Egyptian Museum based in Cairo, Egypt – so why is it important to venture outside of Egypt?
Well, there are many reasons for this. Firstly, it's not feasible for everyone who wants to study Egypt to actual travel there. Many of us have work and family obligations that just make the whole thing extremely inconvenient. Another reason for venturing outside of Egypt is to get a wider look at what the history and culture has to offer – not everything can be found in one place!
In the next sections we're going to talk about two of the best Egyptian museums, one of which is based in Turin, Italy and the other is based in Berlin, Germany.
Museo Egizio – Turin, Italy
The Museo Egizio is a museum based in Turin, Italy. The museum specializes in Egyptian anthropology and archaeology and even though it might not be on the same scale as the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, it's definitely right amongst the top.
This museum is a great place for you to learn about everything to do with Egypt as they house the second largest collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world, only beaten by the Egyptian Museum itself! Many professional scholars and academics visit this museum because of this, in 2006 the museum received over 500,000 visitors.
Another great thing about this museum is the long opening hours, you'll find that this museum is open from the days of Tuesday to Sunday, at times of 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM. This means that you really do have enough time to look at everything you need to!
Egyptian Museum of Berlin – Berlin, Germany
The Museo Egizio might be the museum with the second largest collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world, but this doesn't mean that the Egyptian Museum of Berlin isn't worth a visit! In fact, on your list of priorities a visit to this museum should be just as high (if not higher!) than the Museo Egizio.
The collection in this museum isn't the largest, but it's definitely one of the most important and most valuable. This is because the Egyptian Museum of Berlin is home to the "Nefertiti Bust", a painted limestone bust of Nefertiti which is approximately 3,300 years old!

NEW YORK (Jun. 7)
U.S. and Israeli officials are refuting claims by the Palestine Liberation Organization that a meeting Monday between U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and the PLO's U.N. delegate was a continuation of the U.S. PLO's U.N. delegate was a continuation of the U.S. PLO dialogue.
According to a spokeswoman for the U.S. delegation, Ambassador Thomas Pickering met with Zehdi Terzi, head of the PLO's observer mission to the United Nations, only in the U.S. ambassador's role as president this month of the U.N. Security Council.
"There was no reflection upon our relations with the PLO, nor any direct bilateral issues," said the spokeswoman. "The meeting dealt solely with Security Council matters. The only authorized channel for the PLO dialogue with the U.S. remains the ambassador to Tunis," Robert Pelletreau.
Israeli officials expressed disappointment in the meeting, but they accepted Pickering's explanation.
"We know about the meeting and understood it was done under the customs of the Security Council and no other way. It is not the kind of meeting that we can prevent, since it's done under the jurisdiction of the Security Council," said Barukh Binah, spokesman for the Israeli mission.
The last time an American delegate to the United Nations was known to speak with the PLO was 1979, when then-Ambassador Andrew Young held an unauthorized meeting with PLO representatives.
Young, who is black, resigned after the meeting became known, leading to a storm of anger by black leaders against the Jewish community, which strongly disapproved of the meeting.
The Security Council presidency rotates among members of the body, who serve one-month terms. Pickering is serving his first term as president.
Pickering's meeting with Terzi came as the Security Council prepared to debate a resolution condemning Israel for its handling of the Palestinian uprising.
The meeting was requested last week by Sudan on behalf of the Arab League. The Arabs are asking the Security Council to condemn Israel for violations of Palestinian human rights and the human rights standards contained in the Fourth Geneva Convention.
In addition, they ask that Israel be condemned for "desecrating the Holy Koran." When debate on the resolution opened Tuesday, Terzi read aloud a Jewish Telegraphic Agency report of Israeli soldiers who used pages from the Moslem holy book as toilet paper. Israeli officers called the incident inadvertent.
The Arab states tried to introduce a similar statement to the Security Council last month, but abandoned the effort after U.S. objections that it was too one-sided. U.S. officials are again expected to block the resolution when it comes to a vote, expected later in the week at the earliest.
In a statement to the Security Council on Wednesday, Israel's acting ambassador, Johanan Bein, said that the Arab-Israeli conflict "will not be resolved here; it will not be resolved by blatant accusations, extreme demands and futile debates in this council."

U.S. 93 paving
Sun Coverage
Motorists traveling between Las Vegas and Phoenix on the Hoover Dam Bypass or Laughlin routes should expect some nighttime delays this week.
The Arizona Department of Transportation is repaving U.S. 93 through the Coyote Pass north of Kingman. This week's work will be at the junction with State Route 68, which goes to Bullhead City, Ariz., and Laughlin.
Work on the ramps at the interchange will take place from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. from Sunday to Wednesday, the department said.
Paving work is also under way on U.S. 93 in downtown Kingman nightly through Thursday.
And U.S. 93 will be repaved from the State Route 68 interchange to Ranch Road, near So-Hi Estates, at night from Oct. 9 to Oct. 18.
Motorists should expect to encounter detours and delays on U.S. 93 in these areas until the project is complete in November.
More information is available from the department's website.

Following the self-set rule 'Time destroys everything', we are taken through a harrowing, gruesome night in the the lives of Alex, Marcus and Pierre, played in episodic reverse order.
Time heals all wounds,' goes the old phrase. 'Time destroys everything,' counters an on-screen caption in Irreversible. But this is by no means an exercise in shock-value nihilism or gratuitous violence against women: two-thirds of the running time takes place after the controversial rape scene. Noe's intention is to mourn the beautiful thing that has been destroyed, not to glorify its destruction.
That's why his bold narrative structure - telling a rape-and-revenge story backwards - isn't a cinematic gimmick. He is literally undoing a crime to make a profound social and artistic statement about evolution.
As in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the film progresses from an animalistic orgy of violence to an embryo's serene spirituality; here, from a noisy nightclub hell to a peaceful outdoor heaven. Its self-conscious structure and unflinching portrayal of rape and murder are designed to make us think and feel at the same time. That's not a definition of entertainment, but it is a definition of meaningful, provocative art.
Distressing, certainly, but also genuinely thought provoking and to that end, important.

When unemployed, it's easy to get out of a professional mind-set. But that is exactly the time to ratchet it up. From dressing to researching a potential employer, a job hunter's presentation either screams "professional" — or not. • "You have to look the part, act the part and talk the part," says Susan Leventhal, a career transition specialist for Broward County's Workforce One employment agency. Marcia Heroux Pounds, Sun Sentinel
Rodrigo Garrido, 34, recently was laid off from his job in accounting for Perfumania, a retailer of discount fragrances in Sunrise. He sought guidance from Juan Pujol, a human resource professional with the Facilitators Group in Fort Lauderdale, who also teaches at Florida International University.
The professor, from whom Garrido was taking a class, advised modernizing his look with a lighter gray or navy blue suit instead of traditional black. Buying a new suit usually isn't possible for someone who is unemployed, but changing a shirt or tie can be less expensive fixes, says Steve Rose, sales manager for custom clothier Tom James Apparel in Deerfield Beach.
More recently, Garrido donned his interview suit and received additional advice from Rose, who gives dress-for-success presentations for corporations and organizations that serve job hunters.
Garrido looks good, Rose says. No signs of the mistakes others make: Not paying enough attention to their look before they walk into the interview. "If the interviewer is focused on your tie being (crooked) or your suit having a spot, it's going to take away from what you're saying," Rose says.
Men interviewing should avoid wild ties; socks should be darker than pant legs; and belts should match shoes. "Black pants and navy socks are not okay," he says.
For women, a suit or jacket over a knee-length dress is preferred; keep jewelry simple. "A white or off-white blouse, no ruffles or embellishments," Rose says.
Still, the dress-for-success rules don't always apply. Someone who does creative work such as advertising might wear something more trendy, points out Jacqueline Whitmore, who runs the Protocol School of Palm Beach and is author of an etiquette book, Business Class.
Creating a professional image goes beyond one's dress
"You have to demonstrate to the potential employer that you know him, how your strengths can address what they need," human resource professional Juan Pujol says. Pujol suggests the job hunter videotape himself answering practice interview questions. "See what you look like. Your body language, is it accentuating what you're saying?"
• Look the interviewer in the eye and remember to stand or sit up straight. Being professional "starts with a smile on the face, a firm handshake, and holding your head up high," career transition specialist Susan Leventhal says. After that, it's the answers you've prepared that make the difference in getting a job offer. "People come up short when they try to wing it," she says. "They cannot."
• Never take a cell phone call in an interview; leave your cell phone in your car or make sure it is turned off. "That's completely unprofessional," says author Jacqueline Whitmore. She says no one should text or take a call in front of a client or customer either.
• Record a professional-sounding voice mail message at home and cell phone.
• Make sure your e-mail address reflects your name or is professional.
• Follow up on delivery of your resume and cover letter with a phone call or e-mail. You don't want to be a pest, but show you're involved in the process, Leventhal says.
• After a job interview, send a hand-written thank-you note by priority mail, even if you also send an e-mail. "It shows the character you bring to the job," Leventhal says.

DETROIT - The morning showers were swallowed up by dry air in SE Michigan, so we've seen nothing but haze and fog early.
There are more showers on radar which you can check right here on clickondetroit.com.
Most of those showers won't survive as they again are drying up before they arrive. We expect only isolated showers with highs today near 80 degrees. If the low clouds, haze and fog don't lift quickly enough, we may struggle to hit 80 today.
A cold front brings a better chance for rain and thunder Friday but it will still be warm before that front pushes through. SE Michigan is under a slight risk for severe weather Friday Afternoon and early evening.
We will likely see just scattered showers through Lower Michigan in the morning. A few stronger storms will fire up in the late afternoon and early evening which may produce gusty winds and hail so keep an eye to the sky tomorrow, especially late in the day. Highs tomorrow will be near 80 degrees again.
A few light showers may hang around the area early Saturday before we dry out and cool off for the weekend.
Fall starts at 4:44pm Sunday. Temps will respond and be much cooler this weekend but we will stay mostly dry. Expect temps in the 60's all weekend with a only a chance for a few light showers early Saturday.
Track radar as rain and thunder heads our way this morning and get your complete forecast on the new ClickOnDetroit app (it's free!) in your app store.

The Roman Book Trade
Essay - Ancient Roman Literary Culture and Its Similarities to Our Own - NYTimes.com: ""My book is thumbed by our soldiers posted overseas, and even in Britain people quote my words. What's the point? I don't make a penny from it." This is not the complaint of some young American author who has suddenly discovered that his contract pays him nothing for foreign sales. These are the words of the Roman poet Martial, first-century satirist and defender of authors' rights."

An inside story
At a time when Americans speak figuratively of the possibility that the federal government could collapse, author Robert Klara wants to remind them of something he contends most have forgotten, something the White House website doesn't even mention: In 1948, what's arguably the most iconic symbol of the presidency, even the federal government, nearly collapsed — literally.
President Harry S. Truman and his family had known the White House was showing its age since moving into it in 1945, after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's death. One day in 1948, while Truman was taking a bath upstairs and his wife, Bess, was hosting a Daughters of the American Revolution tea party in the Blue Room directly below, a Blue Room chandelier began to shake and sway worse than it had before, causing alarm.
The president and his bathtub had almost fallen through the Blue Room ceiling, which prompted a White House inspection by a team of top engineers. What they found — including rotten wooden beams, some bearing scorch marks from the British burning of the building during the War of 1812, plus unstable floors and a rapidly sinking foundation — prompted a renovation project that Klara recounts in his new book "The Hidden White House: Harry Truman and the Reconstruction of America's Most Famous Residence" (Thomas Dunne Books, available Tuesday).
The Trumans relocated to Blair House, across Pennsylvania Avenue, for the duration. The White House's outer walls were left standing, but virtually everything inside, above ground and below, was gutted and rebuilt on a steel frame.
Occurring in an atmosphere bordering on hysteria over the Soviet Union exploding its first atomic bomb, which set the tone for America's Cold War mindset, the White House renovation also added something new to the presidential mansion: the supposedly A-bomb-proof underground complex that remains largely shrouded in mystery today. And like most home renovations, the rebuilding of the White House posed schedule and budget challenges.
Drawing on official documents and private diaries of people involved in the project, Klara tells its story with plenty of ironic and humorous aspects. But to him, those efforts' "ultimate legacy ... remains ambiguous," according to the publisher.
"I was horrified by the fact that, in the haste to finish the renovation, nearly all of the mansion's beautiful, hand-carved interiors — doors, paneling, windowsills, mantelpieces — were either given away or thrown in the dump. ... The truth is that the interior of our country's most treasured national landmark was thrown out and replaced by a replica of itself," Klara says in comments provided by the publisher.
In fact, while writing the book, Klara was able to acquire discarded pieces of the "old" White House. The Truman administration had sold bricks, foundation stones, wood trim and more to Americans as official souvenirs. Designed to cover its own costs, that program ultimately showed a small profit.
Had Truman not acted when he did, "White House" today might be just a figure of speech alluding to whatever presidential administration holds power, not the name of the stately building at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Presidents come and go, but the White House endures — if only in a form outwardly unchanged but inwardly almost wholly redone from what it once was.
"Things That Matter: Three Decades of Passions, Pastimes and Politics" by Charles Krauthammer (Crown Forum, available Tuesday) — A collection of some of the best work done over the past 30 years by the winner of the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, this book ranges widely, touching on not just politics and such issues as feminism, evolution and the death penalty, but also on border collies, Halley's Comet, Woody Allen and chess. It includes what the publisher calls "several of Krauthammer's major path-breaking essays — on bioethics, on Jewish destiny and on America's role as the world's superpower — that have profoundly influenced the nation's thoughts and policies." Usually thought of as a conservative, this syndicated columnist has won both the left-wing People for the American Way's First Amendment Award and the right-wing Bradley Foundation's first $250,000 Bradley Prize. Readers of all political persuasions will find plenty here that's thought-provoking and worthwhile.
"Days of God: The Revolution in Iran and Its Consequences" by James Buchan (Simon & Schuster) — Fluent in Persian ("Farsi" is the form of that language used in Iran), the author first visited Iran as an undergraduate in 1974. The book starts with the origins of the Pahlavi regime in the 1920s and traces Iranian history through the 1979 revolution sparked by Ayatollah Khomeini's return from exile, the Iran-Iraq War and Khomeini's death. The author draws on memoirs, diaries, Persian-language news reports, theological tracts, interviews and recently declassified diplomatic documents to illuminate the historical forces that compelled Iranians to revolt against the Shah and why and how their revolution has led to decades of Mideast conflict and the rise of Islamist terrorism. This book provides in-depth background, detail and context about the origins of the regime now conducting high-stakes talks in which America aims to ensure that Iran does not develop nuclear weapons.

Social networks provide a large-scale information infrastructure for people to discuss and exchange ideas about variety of topics.
Why is it that some ideas or products become unusually successful and get adopted widely while others don't?
In an ongoing project, we are studying the notion of competing campaigns in a social network and address the problem of influence limitation where a "bad" campaign starts propagating from a certain nod
Online Social Networks (OSN) have been shown to have benefits as a medium for fast, widespread information dissemination. They provide fast access to large scale data in little-to-no cost.

Several law firms have announced that they are investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Wynn Resorts, Limited concerning possible breaches of fiduciary duties by the company or its fiduciaries. The law firms' investigations are related to a $135 million donation in May 2011 from Wynn Macau, a majority-owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, to the University of Macau Development Fund, and allegations that certain officers and directors of Wynn Resorts violated the FCPA by providing improper monetary benefits to government officials in Macau.
In February, the SEC sent a letter to Wynn requesting that the company preserve information relating to the donation to the University of Macau, any other donations to other educational charitable institutions, and Wynn Resorts' Casino or concession gaming licenses or renewals in Macau.
The SEC's inquiry followed allegations in a lawsuit filed in January by former Wynn Resorts director and its largest shareholder, Kazuo Okada. Okada claims that the donation was improper because (1) the Foundation is connected to government officials who regulate gambling in Macau; (2) the Foundation sits on government-owned land; and (3) the final instalment of the payment is due in ten years, when Wynn Resort's Macau gaming license is set to expire.
Wynn Resorts, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the development, ownership and operation of destination casino resorts.

New Delhi : The Opposition on Wednesday embarrassed the Centre in Rajya Sabha by adopting an amendment to the Motion of Thanks to the President's address.
Congress' leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad had moved an amendment against making educational qualification mandatory for contesting panchayat elections, hoping opposition members will rally together as the change hits grassroots level politics.
"Making educational qualification mandatory for contesting panchayat elections impacted the Dalit men and women.. it also impacted the minorities and the backwards as well. This amendment by the BJP has inhibited the backwards to contest the elections of Sarpanch and Panchayat. Many of the seats of the Panchayats in Rajasthan and Haryana were lying vacant due to this archaic law," Azad told the media here.
"That is why I had moved a resolution on behalf of the party because we feel that there should have been a paragraph and the Centre has failed to fulfill the aspirations of people of this country," he added.
The law in some BJP-ruled states like Haryana and Rajasthan makes mimimum educational qualification necessary to contest local elections.
The "minimum" education required for eligibility to contest in a panchayat election is completion of matriculation in case of general candidates; completion of Class 8 for a woman candidate or a candidate belonging to Scheduled Caste; and completion of Class 5 pass for a Scheduled Caste woman candidate contesting for the post of 'Panch'.

Reinvention of famed nutroll requires secret hiding place
I love the tradition of making homemade bars that taste just like commercial candy bars: Snickers bars, Mars bars, but it is a curious one: driven by thrift or just hunger?
This week I've come to the conclusion that maybe it's the distance you live from town that spurs you to make your own candy bars. What if you're marooned out in the woods, or snowed in, and you're craving something decadent and junky? Believe me, you'll figure out a way to get it.
Last week I was craving a Pearson's Salted Nut Roll, that wonderful candy bar made right in St. Paul on West 7th Street, but I didn't want to drive the five miles to the Two Inlets Country Store to get one.
So I sifted through some Internet recipes and most called for marshmallows, which I didn't have. In the back of my pantry I found a stowaway jar of Marshmallow Fluff, long past its prime, if that's even possible. (It tasted fine.)
And then for the caramel I melted all of my mom's homemade caramels left over from Christmas. (You could use those caramels in little wrappers). I made a snake of marshmallow fluff nougat, covered it in melted caramel, rolled the thing in peanuts, and presto, I had what I wanted. It was beyond my hopes for "just as good."
In fact, it was a temptress. After a few days of my husband and I taking secret turns whittling small chunks off of the nut roll, I walked into the pantry, sure it was all gone by now, to find just the end nubbin wrapped in about an acre of crumpled plastic wrap.
I had the feeling that he was hiding the last of it from me, but as I lobbed it into my mouth I felt no guilt. I can always make another nut roll. Or maybe next time I'll attempt a Whatchamacallit. I think if I begin with some crispy chocolate rice crispies I'll be headed in the right direction.
Salted Nutroll
Makes 2
1 cup marshmallow fluff
1 1/2 cup (more or less) confectioner's sugar
2 cups salted roasted peanuts, lightly crushed
10 ounces caramels, homemade or store-bought
Melt the caramels in a saucepot over low heat.
Beat the sugar into the marshmallow fluff gradually, until it becomes so stiff that mixing is difficult. Turn it out onto a workspace heavily coated with confectioner's sugar and knead in the rest of the sugar, until it becomes stiff and pliable. Roll into two logs.
Butter the centers of two rectangles (approximately 9 x 13 inches) of parchment paper. Spoon a layer of caramel down the center, in a rectangular shape. Sprinkle with the nuts. Set the sugar roll in the center. (The caramel should be larger.) Cover the roll with more caramel and sprinkle heavily with crushed peanuts, pressing into the caramel.
Immediately slide the roll onto a plate and chill in the refrigerator. Repeat with the second roll.
To serve, trim the excess nuts and caramel and slice into portions. If the roll has flattened, gather the paper around the candy and roll until cylindrical; chill again.
Wrap extra tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. (In a secret place, if necessary.)

On this day: Klaus Barbie arrested
January 19 1983: a Nazi is hunted down in Bolivia
Known as the "Butcher of Lyon", Barbie was the local head of the Gestapo in Nazi-occupied France during the Holocaust.
Estimated to be responsible for the murders of 4,000 people, among his many hideous crimes, he tortured members of the French resistance and personally arranged for 44 Jewish children in an orphanage to be sent to Auschwitz.
After the war, Barbie fled to Argentina and then Bolivia, where he assumed the name "Klaus Altmann" and was rumoured to have aided the intelligence efforts of the country's ruling dictatorship. He was sentenced to death in absentia twice by French courts.
However in the early 1970s he was tracked down by a French Nazi-hunting duo – husband and wife Beate and Serge Klarsfeld. Mr Klarsfeld's father fought in the Resistance during the war and was deported, but did not survive.
It took them several years but they finally convinced the Bolivian leaders to extradite him to France in 1983.
After he was captured Barbie was put on trial for crimes against humanity in 1987 and sentenced to life in prison. He died in 1991.
According to a Der Spiegel report released this month, Barbie was recruited as a spy by the West German intelligence agency BND in 1965.
The role, which was paid, allegedly saw him file more than 30 reports from Bolivia, before he was dismissed over concerns that he could be a blackmail target for the BND.
What the JC said:The prosecutor will represent the thousands whose deaths, directly or indirectly, can be laid at Barbie's feet, a stack of corpses ascending to the skies in a gigantic scream of agony, from mere babes torn from their mother's arms to men and women almost at the end of their natural days. And beyond these lies the memory of the millions done to death by the system Barbie represented and of which he was so willing an agent. It is right and proper that, in the year which marks the fiftieth anniversary of Hitler's accession to power…that the gruesome story of Barbie's atrocities should be told once again.

Jesus Definitely Wants SunRay Kelley For A Sunbeam
"I've never been a big fan of electric lights. I have cat eyes. I emit enough light out of my body."
— Self-taught architect SunRay Kelley, on the principles that guide the design of the homestead he's built in the woods in Sedro-Woolley, Washington. Kelley smokes enough pot to describe the time when he accidentally cut open his forehead with a chainsaw as, "Not the most pleasant experience." His work reminds the Times' Michael Tortorello of Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin. I think it's more like if Andy Goldsworthy was let loose in The Shire. Either way, here are pictures of it, which belong on the wonderful Cabin Porn website soon, and Kelley is fun to read about — a real-live Mr. Natural.

Knoch, West Mifflin matchup shaping up to be 1st-round classic
No. 10-seeded Knoch and No. 7 West Mifflin find themselves near the middle of the WPIAL Class AAA playoff bracket, but their game has the potential to be anything but a ho-hum, middle-of-the-road matchup.
Consider that Knoch (7-2) dominated No. 2 Mars, 21-0, on Oct. 12.
And West Mifflin (8-1) nearly went undefeated but lost to No. 1 Thomas Jefferson, 28-14, in last week's regular-season finale.
Those accomplishments belong at the top of résumés in bold print and make Knoch's visit to West Mifflin at 7:30 p.m. Friday one of the more intriguing first-round meetings in a deep Class AAA field. It also will be televised on Root Sports.
West Mifflin coach Ray Braszo considers Knoch, last year's WPIAL AAA runner-up, an extremely challenging first-round opponent — especially for a team that fell short of 9-0 by losing a close game to the top-seeded team.
"We weren't real pleased (with the pairings)," Braszo said. "We know Knoch is a good football program that has had success. They beat Mars. That's a tough first-round game."
Knoch coach Mike King also thinks West Mifflin could end up being much better than its seeding seems to indicate.
"I think West Mifflin gave Thomas Jefferson everything they could handle," Knoch coach Mike King said.
Knoch defeated Mars following close losses to Hampton (20-17) and Franklin Regional (23-13). Propelled by their defense, the Knights turned heads around the WPIAL with their performance against high-scoring Mars, which is averaging 37.7 points per game.
Knoch's 3-5 defense features senior outside linebacker Mike Cunningham.
"We were coming off two losses, and it hit us that we needed to pick it up," Cunningham said. "Defensively, we always get up. We love hitting people. We wanted to make a statement in that game. If the team comes out and plays like that, we can do well."
Both teams lean heavily on their ground attack and feature speedy ball carriers, but Knoch has had more success passing.
West Mifflin junior running back Jimmy Wheeler, one of the top rushers in the WPIAL, has collected more than 1,600 yards and scored 21 touchdowns. Senior Derrick Fulmore is a dual-threat quarterback who has passed and rushed for more than 500 yards.
Knoch senior running back Ben Tackett has rushed for 1,085 yards on 181 carries, caught 12 passes for 193 yards, and tallied 19 touchdowns. Meanwhile, senior quarterback Dakota Bruggeman has completed 62 of 130 passes for 1,057 yards and 10 touchdowns.
West Mifflin is scoring 37.8 and allowing 12.2 points per game. Knoch hasn't been as prolific on offense (28.3 ppg) but has been slightly better on defense (10.2 ppg).
"I think we've played well defensively all season," King said. "I think the kids are up to the challenge."
