Liam is only nine months old, but he already has a spaceship. That's going to be hard milestone to top, but his parents are so awesome that they'll probably figure something out. They built this Millennium Falcon using cardboard, packing tape, papier-mâché, and silver spray paint. Genius!
Even when Liam outgrows it, the Falcon will still make a cool decoration for his room. All the kids and adults will be jealous.

A PENSIONER has died in an early morning crash after a car hit a tree.
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward following the collision near Kidderminster at about 12.40am today.
Emergency services were called to the junction of the B4189 Park Gate Road and the A451 Stourbridge Road near the Park Gate pub to reports a red Vauxhall Agila had left the carriageway and struck a tree.
An ambulance, a rapid response vehicle, a paramedic area support officer and a MERIT trauma doctor attended the scene, but it soon became clear nothing could be done to save the driver.
The 78-year-old man from the Kidderminster area, was pronounced dead at the scene. He has not yet been named.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "On arrival crews found a car that had been in collision with a tree.
"Sadly, it quickly became apparent to crews that nothing could be done to save the driver of the car, a man, and he was confirmed deceased on scene."
Roads were closed until about 4am to allow detectives to investigate the cause of the crash and for the vehicle to be removed.
PC Dave Langridge, of West Mercia Police, said: "As with all fatal and serious injury collisions, there will be a thorough investigation into the circumstances.
"Our thoughts are with the elderly man's family and friends at this sad time."
Witnesses or anyone with information are urged to call PC Langridge or Sergeant Matt Eddy at the Force Operations Support Team at Rubery Police Station on 101, quoting incident number 13-s-100113.

Australian economist Steve Keen is discussing the choice of control levers for prevention of credit bubbles in his latest post. The American Monetary Institute, where he was invited to speak, is campaigning to reform banking on the basis of 100% reserve monetary system, in order to eliminate the banks' power to create money. But then you'd have to give that power to someone, meaning back to politicians, and we know how well that worked wherever and whenever they had that power!!! At least with private bankers, the economy parties on and on for a few decades, then takes its debt deflation medicine once every 60 to 80 years or so, sans the hyperinflation.
Although I don't endorse the system of Ponzi finance that rules our lives, I am not at all sure our current crop of politicians should be part of the solution. Neither is Steve, who went to the AMI with another proposal instead:
Apparently, the theme of kissing non-smokers was the focus of a very successful anti-smoking campaign in New South Wales, Australia, back in the 1980's. The addictive and self-destructive qualities of debt-financed asset bubbles inspired Steve Keen to attempt a transplant of this particular prevention and immunization technique to the world of rampaging finance:
We need something like that in finance to counter the successful campaigns that bankers have run to give debt as "sexy" an image as tobacco companies once gave cigarettes, even though–in another apt analogy–it causes financial cancer: the uncontrollable growth of debt is very much akin to the exponential growth of a tumour that ultimately kills its host.
The metaphor is not perfect of course, since a certain minimal level of debt is a good thing in a capitalist society. Productive debt both gives firms working capital, and finances the activities of entrepreneurs who need purchasing power before they have goods to sell.
But debt that funds simply speculation on asset prices is very much akin to a cancer. And like the cigarettes that cause lung cancer, growing unproductive debt gives a "hit" that makes the borrower addicted to more debt: when debt is growing, the debtor and society in general feel better. It enables the borrower to make profits from speculating on asset prices, since the rising debt drives up asset prices; and the spending this capital gain allows spreads into the wider economy, creating a genuine but ultimately terminal boom. The boom can only continue if debt continues to grow faster than income, but at some point this guarantees that the debt-servicing costs will exceed society's capacity to pay, and the cessation of debt growth causes a crisis like the one we are in now.
Steve's proposals are quite interesting:
My two "kiss a non-debtor" proposals to make debt far less attractive to borrowers are:
1. To redefine shares so that, if purchased from a company directly, they last forever (as all shares do now), but once these shares are sold by the original owner, they last another 50 years before they expire; and
2. To limit the debt that can be secured against a property to ten times the annual rental of that property.
The objective in both cases is to make unproductive debt much less attractive to borrowers.
There is more in the article on Steve's website (link above) including a link to QED, which apparently is a systems dynamics modelling software especially suited to modeling debit/credit financial flows. I can imagine quite a few good uses for that in a world full of dynamic Ponzi schemes which are simply begging to be exposed for the frauds that they are.
Talking of Ponzi schemes, a few months ago I was back in Boston for a reunion, and I had the opportunity to hear my old professor Simon Johnson deliver a lecture about the global financial crisis. I asked him at the end if the state of the economy that he had just described wasn't functionally identical to a Ponzi scheme. He smiled and said that he would prefer the term unsustainable debt dynamics. After the lecture, I googled his name and those big words, and I came up with the following link:
This is not a call for immediate fiscal austerity; that is the path back to the 1930s. But no country can go on issuing your debt without consequence when the buyers declare, "Enough!" In the case of the U.K. and the U.S., the macro situation remains stable only as long as foreigners buy and hold our government debt. This is a major economic and national security risk.
Financial markets are telling us the euro zone is under threat, but the real message is much broader: Unsustainable debt dynamics can undermine us all.
It's all there…debt that can't be repaid except by a greater fool. I guess "unsustainable debt dynamics" must be Latin or Greek for the vernacular: Ponzi scheme.

|New code goes into trunk
|Thu, 03 Jun 2010 20:59:56 GMT
When developing code and fixes for the 0.11.x branch, it should be first checked into trunk,then merged into 0.11.x branch. Right now I'm dealing as a I merge code from trunk to the branch, I'm dealing with merge conflicts in the attachment encoding code, which should have been in trunk all along. The only time when code shouldn't go into trunk is when it's doesn't at all apply to trunk, because the code in trunk has already diverged because of post-1.0 feature work. -Damien

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm a licensed psychiatrist and I am thinking of dispensing free general mental health advice to the public over twitter. I am wondering if I can be taken to court in case someone follows my advice for the wrong problem and something goes wrong.
And secondly, there are people who ask me specific questions about their psychiatric problem on twitter, publicly. If I answer them, would it be considered as a patient-doctor relationship and can my advice be used as evidence of providing care in a malpractice suit (if someone takes it to such an extreme)?
In short, I am thinking of doing something like this website but in my profession in the interests of the people as a service but without getting myself into harm. Also, with twitter, there is no place to add a "legal disclaimer".
Thank you.Reading the answers by Ms. Goldstein, Ms. Sinclair, Mr. Gold, Mr. Poulson and Mr. Stiteler make me realize I did not come off the right way. To clarify, I do not intend to run an online practice. It is just that I am quite well-known in my field and a lot of people on twitter know who I am. They keep asking me questions pertaining to my profession (more mental health than outright psychiatry though), I keep ignoring them and I feel bad that I am not helping them when I can. I am certain I can give them general medical advice pertaining to their question without going into the specifics of the case in 140 characters. My question is whether or not such an advice would be classified as a "physician curbside consult" or would be considered a "doctor-patient relation" and hence make me liable. I definitely would not want to risk my license but if I "can" help those people seeking my help take the first step towards better mental health without any liability, I would like to do it.
In addition to the very good comments of the other attorneys, you should be aware that you might be considered to be practicing tele-medicine in those states in which the individuals live to whom you are giving this advice. You could run into significant licensure issues in that some of these states, which in turn could jeopardize your license in the state in which you practice.
In other words, 'Here be Dragons.'
I am licensed in New Mexico and Pennsylvania, and therefore any discussion of issues related to other states must considered within that context. In addition, my comments are not intended to create a legal representation but merely to respond to the limited facts presented by the question. Any opinion herein is not meant as a precise statement of legal rights or as a recommendation of any particular course of action. A more complete legal review can be obtained through local counsel.Ask a similar question
Why would you risk your license by dispensing what you term advice? Have you not seen all the disclaimers here and on other sites where professionals offer suggestions? This is not legal advice and no attorney-client relationship has been established. Likewise, you should not dispense advice either. If this is a sincere question, you should consult directly with a lawyer and not rely on an online Q&A forum.
Avvo had a medical section but I believe it has been sold. You probably can find it and participate there. Your "suggestions" would be protected by their disclaimers. The goal is to minimuze your risk, not increase it.Ask a similar question
I concur with counsel. Not the best idea although I do see that you want to help people while marketing yourself at the same time. There are a few websites that have this service. Why not just look them up and see which one your like best and try it?
I agree with my learned colleague that you should consult with your attorney. If you can be a psychitrist in 140 characters, you should write a novel with that theme!
We do not have a client/attorney relationship until you make an appointment, we discuss your case face to face, I accept a retainer, and we explictly agree to enter into representation.Ask a similar question
MY colleagues are correct. Avvo 's medical forum is now under Healthtap. You may want to review their system to see if you are comfortable there. Otherwise, you spent a lot of time and money in school to put your profession at risk on Twitter.
** LEGAL DISCLAIMER ** My response above is not legal advice and it does not establish an attoreny-client relationship. When responding to questions posted on Avvo, I provide a general purpose response based on California law as I am licensed in California. In reviewing my response, you are specifically advised that your use of, or reliance upon any response I provide is not advisable. I do not have all relevant background details or facts related to your issue / matter, thus I am not in a position to give you legal advice. Further, your review, use of, or reliance upon my response does not establish an attorney-client relationship between us nor does it qualify as a legal consultation for any purpose. For specific advice regarding your particular circumstances, you should consult and retain local counsel. Law Offices of Eric J. Gold www.EGoldLaw.com Telephone: 818-279-2737 Email: email@example.com a similar question
The suggestion that you can effectively tweet anything of value casts suspicion on your sincerity. Assuming you are, you should consider drawing a bright line between advice and information, as most of us do here on legal Avvo. Then, as a question of marketing, you would need to consider whether you have anything fresh or unique or valuable that is not already available online. The legal exposure is one large consideration, but one of several.
Best wishes for a favorable outcome, and please remember to designate a best answer.
This answer is offered as a public service for general information only and may not be relied upon as legal advice.Ask a similar question
That and if you're that successful, probably a good idea to have a business lawyer on retainer or who you can call when you have legal questions or need legal advice. Avvo is general in nature.

text: First Opportunity Fund, Inc. (NYSE: FF) (the Fund) held its annual stockholders' meeting in Boulder, Colorado on Monday, May 3, 2010, at which time stockholders approved the Fund's restructuring proposals and elected directors. At Monday's meeting, stockholders approved new investment co-advisory agreements with Rocky Mountain Advisers, LLC (RMA) and Stewart Investment Advisers (SIA), as well as a new sub-advisory agreement with Wellington Management Company, LLP. Under the new structure approved by the Fund's stockholders, with respect to the portion of the portfolio managed by RMA and SIA, the new advisers intend to make a substantial investment in certain private investment funds currently managed by an affiliate of Wellington Management. Separately, Wellington Management will act as sub-adviser with respect to a discrete portion of the portfolio containing positions with respect to which Wellington Management has long-term familiarity in its role as the Fund's previous advisor. The term of Wellington Management's role as sub-adviser will not last more than 2 years and will be limited to liquidating a portion of the Fund's legacy holdings. RMA and SIA will oversee the Fund's investments in private investment funds, supervise and oversee all sub-advisory activities and manage the balance of the Fund's assets in accordance with Monday's stockholder approved changes and the Fund's investment objective and policies. As part of the restructuring proposals, stockholders also approved eliminating the Fund's fundamental concentration policy, which previously required that the Fund invest at least 65% of its assets in financial services companies. Since stockholders eliminated this concentration policy altogether, the Fund will be required to reduce its exposure to the financial services industry to less than 25% of its overall assets, although it is expected that some of the private investment funds in which the Fund invests may have significant financial industry exposure. Because the Fund is presently substantially concentrated in financial services companies, it will likely continue to be concentrated in the securities of these companies in excess of the 25% threshold approved by stockholders for a period of time following Monday's approval. The new advisers intend to reduce the Fund's holdings in financial services companies to below the 25% threshold in a prudent manner.

Tech N9ne: Blood Sweat 'N' Gears [Full Story From the June 2011 Issue]
You got labeled a devil worshipper?
Yeah, from a rapper here, Mel Bacardi. He was a rival rapper. One day he said, "The difference between me and Tech is that I worship God and he worships Satan." And I'm the nigga with red hair, with spiked hair. You see the picture of me, and you're like, "Yup." It wasn't hard. Rapping backwards and shit. Everywhere. Now people are coming back to it. Wayne said, "They say that about me, too."
Some of your own fans have expressed concern about your working with so many different artists on the new album. They're worried you'll change.
I brought everybody into my world, but it's still that Tech N9ne shit. I think that's what my fans were worried about with Wayne, that I would go mainstream. "Please don't do it, Tech." "Don't do it." "He's mainstream, you're underground, it don't mix." But I'm on some Wayne shit, and he's on some Tech N9ne shit, and if they can't accept that, fuck 'em. My fans are never going to agree, because there's so many different fans: metal heads, gangbangers, the college kids, Juggalos and Juggalettes, Cottonmouth Kings and Queens. All of 'em like a certain thing I do. A lot of Juggalos don't like the sexual songs. I don't know why; maybe they don't get pussy. But I love pussy. I don't understand people who don't like fucking.
They're worried that you're going to do a song like "BedRock." But if you think about all the sexual songs that I do, is "BedRock" wrong for me to be on? It might sound real poppy because Lloyd is singing, but the topic is the same.
People call your fans a "cult audience." When did you first hear that?
Recently, when people started finding out about me. When XXL did that story on me, everybody started finding out, and everybody started finding out about my fans, like, "Whoa, look at the picture of them! Some of them paint their face. That's on some cult shit!" When I did that pledge, that's when everybody started saying it.
So you don't see it as a negative thing.
Hell, no! Not when I'm talking about love. Love for music. What am I preaching? We're going to share this shit and spread this shit to the rest of the world. They'll buy 10 CDs and pass them to their friends, like, "Listen to this." Why they do it for me? I have no idea. But I love 'em for it. So I just bring us closer together with a pledge, and if they do say it, it's a cult. They're going to wait until somebody dies or something. Like somebody'll say, "Okay, this person said this person is a Technician, and they got beat up." Then that will be bad. But that's just in the hands of bad people getting my message. When my message is about love. And if they listened to me, it's all about love. I'm giving you this music. I'm giving you my heart. That's why fans stands for "forever accepting N9ne's soul." People say, "That's cultish, muthafucka." Yeah! I pour out my soul onto paper, and you accepted it and passed it around to people and believed in it. I love you for it. Let's keep doing it.
When you hear the term "crossing over," do you hate it or love it?
I love it. My music is supposed to be for everybody. I don't feel like I got to suck dick to fuckin' cross over, to get everybody to love my shit. I got shit for everybody. People are saying that I'm going to cross over to Black folks because all the White folks listen to my music already. So be it. I been chasing my Black folks for the longest, because a lot of them think I was a devil worshipper. So by Wayne saying my name, he don't know how big that is, for him to be the reason that the other crowd over there, that's the same color as me, is giving me a listen. He's probably going to be the reason why they listen. That's a big thing. It means a lot to me to give to people that never heard it or won't hear it because of the imagery—the imagery is too insane for them, or it looks too spooky. I want this album to be for everybody. That's how I do for all my albums. I don't mind them saying "cross over." Fuck it, let it cross over. It already crossed over overseas. Everybody should pay attention to real rhymes, to real lyricists. Why not? I might not look like Gucci Mane, I might not look like Waka Flocka, but I can appreciate what they do, even though what I do is different. [Sings] This is hip-hop, there's country, jazz and R&B, and it's pop, there's rock 'n' roll… It's everything. It's your preference. —Additional reporting by Mark Lewinwalla

Receivers have been appointed to a Nathan Tinkler-linked firm, Aston Metals Group.
Aston Metals is an unlisted copper explorer with tenement holdings in the Mount Isa region of north-west Queensland, Australia.
The receivers were appointed by Madison Pacific Trust Ltd in its capacity as Security Trustee over all the secured property of Aston Metals.
The Walford Creek copper, lead and zinc deposit is the primary focus of Aston Metals.
The company is Mr Tinkler's main asset in the resources sector after he sold his stake in Whitehaven Coal for $600 million in June.
FTI Consulting will review the status of all projects owned by Aston Metals as part of their appointment with a view to offering them for sale.
During a liquidators examination earlier this year it was revealed the Tinkler Group Family Trust owned Aston Metals.
Mr Tinkler, a former billionaire, has been under financial pressure for some time due to the end of the coal price boom.
He has been unable to repay massive debts to creditors, leading to the sale of his Whitehaven stake, the liquidation of other companies, and the sale of assets including race horses and helicopters.
Mr Park was an administrator of collapsed Gold Coast-based fund manager LM Investment Fund, before being removed by the Queensland Supreme Court for acting outside the best interests of the fund.
A spokesman for The Tinkler Group said Aston Metals was a ''dormant, speculative investment near Mt Isa'' held by The Tinkler Group and other shareholders.
''Our main joint venture partner, Orchard Capital Partners in Hong Kong, is experiencing financial difficulties in one of its funds and as a result, took the unexpected decision to place Aston Metals into receivership,'' he said.
''We will work with the receivers and other Aston Metals' shareholders for a speedy resolution to the situation.''

A MAN has been arrested after police uncovered a cannabis farm at a Wirral pub.
Police raided the Cleveland Arms in Bebington Road, New Ferry and found around 59 cannabis plants in pots, spread across four upstairs rooms, along with a further quantity of plants which had been harvested.
A 35-year-old man from New Ferry was arrested on suspicion of producing cannabis and abstracting or using electricity without authority.
He was taken to a police station on Merseyside where he will be questioned by detectives. An investigation to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident is continuing.
Detective Sergeant Steve Holmes, from Wirral CID, said: "Cannabis factories pose a big safety risk, both for the people involved in their cultivation and the law abiding people who often end up having to live next door to them.
"I want to take this opportunity to reassure people that the force will be relentless in its efforts to crackdown on any form of drug dealing or drug supply in the Wirral and will continue working hard to find and dismantle cannabis farms.
"I would appeal to anyone who notices any suspicious activity in their area, or thinks cannabis is being grown, to call us and report it.
"We will follow up and take action on all the information we receive."
Anyone with information can call officers via the non-emergency 101 number or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

NHL notebook: Injury sidelines Canadiens' Gionta for rest of playoffs
Montreal Canadiens forward Brian Gionta will have surgery on his torn left biceps, knocking him out of the rest of the playoffs.
The Canadiens announced Wednesday that Gionta will undergo surgery Friday. The Montreal captain sat out Games 2 and 4 of the team's first-round playoff series against the Ottawa Senators with what was called an upper body injury. Ottawa leads the best-of-seven series, 3-1, with Game 5 on Thursday at Montreal.
• Canadiens center Lars Eller has resumed skating. He was taken from the ice on a stretcher in Game 1 with a concussion and facial injuries after a hit by Ottawa defenseman Eric Gryba, who was suspended two games.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I liked this one quite a bit but it is very delicate looking. Even more so in person with very faint details. I thought the flowers would be a bit more distinguished instead of the outline of petals but it is still VERY PRETTY. Very subtle, pretty and appropriate for spring/summer! Happy to have these as alternate labels!"
"Decided to add an artistic touch to our wedding invitations by having labels printed up. Not only did they come out beautifully but I was able to have it reviewed and retouched by the designers at wedding paper divas one last time before making my final decision. They arrived 3 days ahead of schedule."
"I loved these as I used them to add both of our last names to the outside of the envelope. I wanted to do this, as there is only room for the first names on the save the date. They worked great and added some color to the outside of our save the date envelopes. The looked great and were easy to apply."
"These added a nice colorful touch to the envelopes! I liked that you can change the font, and make it exactly how you want it. I asked for two names to be on mine, and they turned out just as I had hoped!"
"I purchased the pink color and the labels are beautiful. I selected the silver envelopes and the wrap around really made the back of the envelope unique. I highly recommend the pattern, the pink and grey is elegant, sophisticated and soft with a touch of antique/vintage inspiration"

Branch Automation | De Novo vs. Renovation | Equipment Upgrades | Physical vs. Logical Security | Project Checklist
Physical vs. Logical Security
What you should know...
Bank security has evolved into a multi-tiered proposition due to the emergence of new and more sophisticated threats to financial institutions.
Physical Security
For the protection of customers, employees, and assets from threats on premises.
Physical security encompasses both what was historically regarded as physical equipment, and electronic equipment. The former can be subcategorized as follows:
Electronic equipment is the sexier cousin of physical equipment, marked by tremendous advances in technology in the last decade. While video surveillance was historically populated by DVRs and analog cameras, it has now shifted to favor NVRs and IP cameras, as well as CCTV. Access control is growing in complexity, and now includes everything from simple card readers to biometrics. Intrusion alarm systems are also increasingly sophisticated.
Logical Security
For the protection of systems and data that could otherwise compromise assets, identity and privacy.
While physical security is spearheaded by Operations and Security Officers within banking organizations, logical security is overseen by Information Technology and Compliance Officers. The challenge? Ensuring that the integrity of all data is preserved, whether accessed from an internal desktop or a customer's iPhone. Today's society is becoming increasingly mobile and the demands on banks and credit unions are increasing exponentially, as they struggle to maintain user friendliness while contending with increased security risks. Multi-tier security models and other enhanced authentication tools have gained in popularity. Still, many contend that the greatest threat to mobile banking security is the mobile banking user. Consumer education will therefore be key to optimizing logical security in the future.
Convergence of Physical and Logical Security
Institutions are increasingly recognizing the need to ensure that all elements of the physical/electronic security mix are working together to provide a real solution to an organization's security needs. See Integration Solutions. As an organization take steps toward true integration of its physical/electronic security components, more people and departments become involved in decision making, including Operations, Security, and IT. The keys to success are compatibility and communication. This applies to the equipment itself, the people, and the platform/processes. But the payouts are tremendous. True integration leads to economies of scale, organizational efficiencies, and enhanced overall security.

It's pawsitively sweltering outside — the perfect time for Tucsonans to join local independent retailers at Plaza Colonial in celebrating the Third Annual Dog Days of Summer to help homeless furry friends of the Humane Society of Southern Arizona.
"When we started this a few years ago, my daughter was going to be here all summer and it gets so hot that we decided to do a fun art show in July to break it up. We thought of the saying, 'dog days of summer,' and we have this artist, Louis Mason, who paints dogs and was very much interested in supporting the animals. We decided to make a donation to the Humane Society, and it all started there," said Jane Hamilton, event organizer and owner of Jane Hamilton Fine Art.
Fast forward to the event on July 25 that has expanded to include about a dozen local retailers and restaurants as well as a partnership with The Art Institute of Tucson, whose students design and create canine clothing and accessories modeled by HSSA shelter dogs in the Doggy Fashion Show.
Last year the family- and pet-friendly benefit raised almost $2,000 for the HSSA, a number that Hamilton hopes to double this year as awareness increases.
"There are so many events that fill the calendar from October through May and it is nice to do something in the off time. Lots of retirees and students leave town, but so many people who live and work here stay, and this is something fun for the whole family to do," Hamilton said.
The evening event also offers the opportunity to showcase the Plaza Colonial boutiques, galleries, restaurants and shops along with city and mountain views at the southwest corner of Skyline Drive and Campbell Avenue.
Hamilton describes the venue as "the most beautiful plaza in the city with its courtyard and nice, meandering outdoor spaces."
"Lots of people don't know we are here. We are all independent, local owners and we say, 'If you want to shop green, shop local. Shop the people who make their lives in Tucson,' " said Hamilton, who opened her Tucson gallery in 2001 and represents 40 artists in a variety of mediums including paintings, sculptures, bronzes, glass, jewelry and furniture.
Hamilton emphasized that promoting awareness about the humane society, which currently houses 465 homeless pets, is also a driving force.
"It is nice to do something fun to bring people together and to benefit not only ourselves but the animals who can't defend themselves and need our help to be fed and adopted and taken care of. It is a win-win," she said.
Fundraisers such as the Dog Days of Summer are essential to the HSSA, which receives no government funding to aid the 8,000 animals that pass through its doors annually, according to Public Relations Lead Samantha Esquivel.
She said that while springtime is particularly busy during puppy and kitten season, the organization is in constant need.
"Year-round it is always a struggle and as a nonprofit, we are completely reliant upon the community to keep us afloat. Any donations we get from fundraisers like these go to a great cause and go directly back to the animals to help get them into forever homes," she said.
About 1,600 volunteers contribute time and effort to the HSSA, which offers foster care opportunities and provides a range of services including low-cost spay and neuter services for 12,000 animals annually, low-cost vaccinations and education and outreach to teach proper care for pets.
While the volunteer figure may seem high, Esquivel said that many volunteers serve only one-time or seasonally, so there is still great need, particularly for those interested in fostering animals.
Events such as Dog Days of Summer not only raise funds, but involve the community and raise much-needed public awareness about assistance and volunteerism and for the HSSA.
"This is kind of a tradition that we want to keep going," Esquivel said.
"These community events not only help to build awareness about animal homelessness but also education, shelter and placement and prevention. While we do serve pets, our overall obligation is not only to serve pets but also the people who love them in our community."

Repeated delays over the release of Kochadaiiyaan has been not helping the movie. After announcing that the flick would be released finally on May 23, a speculation had emerged from rumour mills that it would be delayed again. But the makers of the film have come out to give a clarification on the issue.
The official press release from Eros read, "All post production work has been completed and the film is censored in all six languages in 2D and 3D versions. It is ready for delivery next week," The movie bosses have also denied reports on a repayment-default notice to the producers by a private bank. They say that the sudden demand over the prints made them postpone the release.
"There was a sudden demand for an additional 200 prints for as many screens, all over the world, just two days before release after seeing the extraordinary response for the advance booking. 125,000 tickets were sold out in under two hours in Chennai alone. To avoid last minute delay on the screening material reaching theatres, the decision was taken to reschedule the film to May 23," said a statement from the production house. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...
Pushed The Release
Kochadaiiyaan was supposed to release on May 9. The advance booking of the film had also started before the movie bosses pushed the release.
Producer-Distributor Issue
There were many speculations over the delay. Tamil industry observers had said that there was a dispute between the producer and distributors over the ticket price.
A Lakh Ticket Sold
In fact, over a lakh ticket had sold in Chennai alone and postponing the release had irked audience.
All Issues Sorted
Now, it appears like all the issues have been sorted out and Kochadaiiyaan is finally ready to rock the Tamil audience.

Hey, Steve's comment about Annie Liebovitz -- "Sure, Annie Liebowitz is an airhead, but she's made more people look cool over the last 40 years than anybody else" -- highlights a little hobbyhorse theme of mine, namely that art-talent and IQ have little or nothing to do with each other! Fun.
If anyone's interested and open to the idea ... As someone who's led the arts-and-media life for more than 30 years, I suggest that you'll find it far more useful to think of art-talent as something that resembles athletic talent than it is to think of it as something having anything to do with IQ-style brainpower. The work of art-and-entertainment world people is sometimes worth paying attention to not because these are such smart people who are conferring their brainpower on us but because they're gifted people who've managed to find ways to turn their often bizarre talents into products that the rest of us can enjoy.
Creative artsworld people are often seriously unimpressive intellectually. But they're also often gifted in ways that can make your jaw drop.
Which to my mind brings up a whole other topic: How much fabulous art is out there that you've never heard of (and never will hear of), because editors, critics and profs are ignorant, or resistant, or copycats? In my experience, ANY time I poked around a little corner of art history on my own (in other words, any time I bore down on a little corner of art history hard enough to get by the usual masterpieces and landmarks and do a little investigating of my own), I found work that I thought was great, in fact often greater than what the profs, critics, historians etc had told me about.
Another question: Let's face it, historians, critics, editors and such -- the people who write and publish the articles and books, and who teach the classes -- are a peculiar bunch. They're a lot more scholarly and intellectual than most people are, for one thing. To what extent has this shared temperament shaped our view of art history? Maybe the version of it they pass along is best understood as "a history of the art that intellectuals approve of"? Should we -- we non-scholar types -- maybe be a little more challenging of (and wary of) their tastes and their lists?
Was Burgess as good as everybody assumed he was in the 1970s? I don't know. In the mid-1970s I was hugely impressed by his 1974 novel The Napoleon Symphony, a historical novel about Bonaparte structured to follow Beethoven's Eroica Symphony (which had originally been dedicated to Bonaparte until he crowned himself Emperor). But, I was a callow youth, so what do I know? I read quite a few more of his books, but they became progressively less dazzling.
Likewise, was Burgess a good critic? God knows he was a prolific critic. In the 1970s, his reviews were highly prestigious, but by the 1990s, he was increasingly seen as a hack.
Was Burgess a hack who deserves to be forgotten? Perhaps. He certainly liked making money from writing. But, it's also possible that the reputation he enjoyed in the 1970s was reasonable.
Hopefully, some consensus will emerge on what was Burgess's best stuff, and his influence will come into better view.
Anyway, it's more likely that Burgess will be rediscovered by a new generation than that some dead writer who was obscure all his life will be discovered for the first time.

Kenzo Resort 2014
"We had to pay for it!" said Humberto Leon of the rare burst of Parisian sunshine that beamed down on the roof garden of Kenzo's deuxieme arrondissement design studio, where he and co-designer/conspirator Carol Lim were showing their 2014 resort collection. But they actually had warmer climes on their minds—all the way home to California, to be precise. If, as Leon and Lim said they've been journeying the world through Kenzo's eyes, the global nomad that they gave their sharp and distinct urban edge to, this time round they wanted to bring the label back to themselves, and the landscape that was familiar to them growing up out west; the California of sprawling-and-stretching-to-infinity suburbs, the crash and roar of the Pacific Ocean, the wilderness Californians love to go hiking in, even if they have to drive first before they can start their trek toward the sky.
What this means, in Kenzo terms, is a preponderance of palm trees, that swayed over everything, and often in hand-painted form, on a denim skirt-suit or a very good leather biker jacket, or woven through the fabric of an easy shirt worn out over a matching skirt that moved with the softest of undulations. Elsewhere, they worked Kenzo's sweater-dressing heritage with bonded wool jackets, like the most structured (but, let it be noted, pretty lightweight) cardigan coats ever. And they offered up a cool new idea of that perennial L.A. favorite, the wear-with-everything tee, which they radically reimagined so that it became a cropped top worn off the shoulder, its front falling in gently folded pleats.
Yet the homeward-bound theme didn't mean Leon and Lim forgot to take a few risks, experimenting with intriguing new ideas, like a three-dimensional technique that rendered the front of the skirt so it looked like an egg carton. And they eschewed the perfect repetition of digital prints in favor of hand-drawn, with not only those palm fronds, but an irregular painterly stripe running vertically on a skirt that looked like a double-breasted vest, complete with martingale back, or some of the collection's many, many cropped pants. There's a cute new bag too, a (sometimes) color-blocked unstructured shoulder satchel they've dubbed the Kalifornia. (That K is very specific; K for Kenzo, no doubt, but also because Leon loves the 1993 Brad Pitt/Juliette Lewis movie of the same name.) The tag for the bag isn't making them homesick for the U.S., even if they are having to spend the Fourth of July holiday in Paris. They're planning a barbecue to mark the day, and possible fluctuations in the weather don't worry them. Said Leon, "We paid for the sun for the whole week!"

Lady Gaga appeared on Good Morning America dressed as a latex condom to promote her work to fight HIV/AIDS.
Pope OKs Condom Use For Male Hookers
In a bizarre interview with a German journalist, Emperor Palpatine has decreed for the first time that the usage of condoms is now sanctioned by the Catholic Church in "certain circumstances." The "for example" he uses? Male hookers!
To illustrate his apparent shift in position, Benedict offered the example of a male prostitute using a condom. "There may be justified individual cases, for example when a male prostitute uses a condom, where this can be … a first bit of responsibility, to re-develop the understanding that not everything is permitted and that one may not do everything one wishes," Benedict was quoted as saying. "But it is not the proper way to deal with the horror of HIV infection." Benedict reiterated that condom use alone would not solve the problem of HIV/AIDS. "More must happen," he said. Becoming simply fixated on the issue of condoms makes sexuality more banal and exactly this is the reason why so many people no longer find sexuality to be an expression of their love, but a type of self-administered drug."
The interview will be published in book form and will be translated into 18 languages.
Gay Condom Launched in India
A new condom will be marketed to gay men in India under the name Spice Up.

KwaZulu-Natal - A German tourist's weekend hike went from carefree amble to helicopter scramble when he fell eight metres off a cliff on the Wild Coast on Saturday.
Heribert Shropp was with a tour group about 9km north of Mbotyi at Waterfall Bluff, when he lost his footing.
Tour guide
Edgar Pogulis said they were on a day hike to see rock formations and waterfalls.
"There was a rock overhang, and Heribert hit his head... then slipped and fell."
A joint operation was launched between the Mountain Club of South Africa, the South African Air Force's 15 Squadron, the SAPS Search and Rescue unit and private paramedics.
A helicopter flew the 71-year-old to St Augustine's Hospital in Durban.
Shropp has a broken leg and ribs and lacerations to his head. - The Mercury

Out With the Old. In With the New. — Sensational Sidesby Allison Milam in Recipes, March 27th, 2013
You've heard it all before: Spring is a time for change. It's a time when we kick off our puffy down coats and swing our windows wide open. It's also a time when our diets change for the better. But before getting carried away with all the green-as-can-be produce you can get your hands on, use this first stage of the season for some serious spring cleaning, with a special emphasis on that pantry of yours.
This week, Food Network's combining forgotten pantry items with the freshness of spring produce. Together, these two elements create bright and budget-friendly side dishes.
Those cardboard boxes of pasta sure stock up in the shadowy depths of your pantry. Get that stuff boiled by making one of these spring-forward pasta dishes. Serve Food Network Magazine's Spaghetti With Snap Peas and Prosciutto alongside a nice chicken breast. Or try Pasta Salad With Asparagus, Corn and Sun-Dried Tomatoes by Food Network Magazine as a cold side for a spring picnic.
While you're at it, let's put those grains to use. Food Network Magazine's Risotto With Pesto and Peas is a creamy and comforting side, made that much better by using fresh peas in lieu of frozen. Michael Chiarello's Spring Vegetable Rice Salad combines Arborio rice with asparagus, English peas and fava beans. And Food Network Magazine's Lemon-Herb Rice Salad (pictured above) is seasoned with the fresh stuff, so you can bet it will stand out even on the plate. Quinoa With Shiitakes and Snow Peas is infused with a decidedly Asian flair thanks to toasted sesame oil, soy sauce and loads of crunchy snow peas.
For those attempting to cut down on the cans, we've got a series of sides for you. Food Network Magazine's Chickpea-Radicchio Salad is laced with a whole can of beans and a helping of leafy crunch. Dave Lieberman's Cannellini Bean, Red Onion and Arugula Salad unites the canned white bean with a spicy in-season green.
Nuts and dried fruits may have played a starring role in your winter baked goods, but they become infinitely more vibrant when paired with in-season veggies. Food Network Magazine's Spring Peas With Dates and Walnuts is fixed with two types of peas and serves as a stellar wholesome side.

In another skit, the British actor impresses the 'Saturday Night Live' regular when saying, 'Chill broseph, I like Mountain Dew and big butts!' in an American accent.
Daniel Radcliffe and Jason Sudeikis poke fun at the "Harry Potter" movie franchise in a "Saturday Night Live" promo. Set to serve as a host, the Arthur Kipps of "The Woman in Black" actor has to set things straight when the NBC show's regular says the wizard films starring Radcliffe are sex movies.
In the beginning of the video, Radcliffe surprises Sudeikis with his American accent. "Are you doing a character? Like a chimney sweep? Are you doing [Kate] Winslet?" the funnyman asks. In his second try, the "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" star earns praise after saying, "Chill broseph, I like Mountain Dew and big butts!"
In another skit, Radcliffe admits he is a little bit nervous about his upcoming hosting gig. Trying to share some tips, Sudeikis only adds more pressure when noting, "Everybody's watching, and you could get hurt."
"SNL" featuring Radcliffe will air Saturday, January 14 at 11:30 P.M. EST. Lana Del Rey will appear as a musical guest.

Obama Unmasked: The Total Surveillance State
By Megan Cornish
Global Research
August 22, 2013
The president helped end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that locked LGBT military service members in the closet. During his 2012 campaign, he reduced deportations of undocumented youth who came to the U.S. as children. But, with few other exceptions, his actions have served the wealthy elite and expanded the attacks on working people pushed by G. W. Bush.
Immigration: the Iron Curtain Border
Obama has deported more immigrants than predecessor Bush. "We put more boots on the ground on the southern border than at any time in our history," boasts his official website.
His "reform" proposal includes more border militarization — to be implemented before a supposed path to citizenship opens up for undocumented immigrants. That path is barricaded with high fines and fees, and years of waiting, with social services denied in the meantime.
His mandatory electronic employment verification system, E-Verify, would require all U.S. workers to prove authorization to work. In other words, it is a national ID system.
The Rest…HERE
Low-income "guest workers," would be deported after 60 days of unemployment, virtually guaranteeing most would be too fearful and desperate to risk their jobs by speaking up for their rights or engaging in union organizing.

Mack-Cali Announces Bernards Township Office Property Has Retained ENERGY STAR Rating
01/06/2011 Category: Miscellaneous
Edison, New Jersey—January 6, 2011—Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) today announced that 106 Allen Road at Liberty Corner Corporate Center, Bernards Township, New Jersey has been recertified with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy's prestigious ENERGY STAR, the national symbol for superior energy performance.

Only commercial buildings and industrial plants in the top 25 percent of facilities in the nation for energy efficiency may qualify for this rating.
The 132,010-square-foot, class A office property was recognized for the ENERGY STAR award based in part on its use of T-8 and compact fluorescent bulbs throughout the building, a state-of-the-art building management system that has an optimum start program for maximum and efficient interior building comfort, and the use of variable speed drives for each of four roof top units and double-pane insulated glass windows.
Mitchell E. Hersh, Mack-Cali president and chief executive officer, commented, "We are pleased that this premier property is once again the recipient of this designation. We remain committed to energy-efficient operations and expect to add more properties to this prestigious list."
Mack-Cali Realty Corporation is a fully-integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) providing management, leasing, development, construction and other tenant-related services for its class A real estate portfolio. Mack-Cali owns or has interests in 277 properties, primarily office and office/flex buildings located in the Northeast, totaling approximately 32.2 million square feet.

Beyonce's Moving Out
Yesterday, we found out that Jay Z cheated on Beyonce with Rihanna which was also the reason for Solange's elevator attack if we're all going to start believing lizard people talking points now. Why make them go through the trouble of secretly putting mind control in our water? That's my motto. Anyway, now comes word that Beyonce has been secretly shopping for penthouses without a camel pen for Jay Z to sleep in. Page Six reports:
"She was very quiet, as if she was looking on the sly," a source said.
Fueling the notion that Beyoncé is not shopping for both of them is the fact that Jay Z has always been extremely involved in their real estate deals, sources said.
Yet he was nowhere to be seen during the apartment showing, they added.
Jay also would be loath to leave their current posh Tribeca pad, a source said.
KIM: "Ohmygod, are they really getting a divorce?"
KANYE: "I dunno. Probably."
KIM: "We'll never get one though, right?"
KIM: "Right?!"
KIM: "Hello? Did you hang up on me?"
KANYE: "… *snaps fingers* Kim! Sorry, bitch, forgot your name for a second. What were you saying?"

Time to take a trip to the city. This vector background sets a classically styled bike against a cartoon-like cityscape. It's a lighthearted image, and the blue of the bicycle works nicely with the neutral background. The imagery is very simple, so it won't overwhelm any of your text with gaudy designs. It's the perfect urban backdrop for a book cover, flyer, or website, and it connects with your viewers by imparting a sense of freedom and fun. From the trendy font to the hand-drawn lines that make up the bike's tires, there's plenty of charm in this image.

On the mend in a doll hospital
Leana Watson wields her scalpel like any top surgeon.
Steady hands, smooth movements, clean cuts. Her patients should feel confident: she knows exactly what she's doing. But the bodies on Watson's operating table don't feel anything. Dolls are just toys with human faces, right?
It's an unassuming place, the Auckland Dolls Hospital. Tucked away in the industrial corner of Mt Wellington, and now a wing of the Wrightway Studios art restoration company, this is the latest in a string of homes for the business that opened on Karangahape Rd in the 1940s.
If you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't know it was here. But steer past the nearby pie-and-coke bakehouses and the building's own dirty white concrete exterior, and there is something inside that has the magic of an old antique-store jungle: dusty, and chaotic, but it's clear everything is exactly whereit is meant to be.
The only difference is at this shop,all the products are broken. That's where Watson and 14 other staff come in. It's early on a Monday morning and her worn apron is already covered in blue and white dust from a china plate. It's not all about dolls, but they are never far away. Watson's workspace is a hodgepodge of glues and varnishes, hair samples and boxes of eyeballs: brown, blue, near-turquoise, all with the most enviable, fluttering eyelashes.
There is a photo of a perfectly serene, although slightly hairless, doll pinned on a board in front of her, next to one of a ceramic face with deep black holes where the eyes should be.
"Just go down past the biggest statue of Mary and it's by the baby carriage," she yells to a visitor looking for the bathroom. The strangeness of that instruction doesn't seem to register with Watson. She's been here two years -she answered an ad in the paper because she like dart, and dolls. And, despite Hollywood horror flicks like Child's Play that imagine evil dollies, Watson isn't the slightest bit freaked out by the things she works on.
She's used to their glassy eyes and unblinking stares. "For a while, though, there was a Jesus statue standing behind me. It felt like there was always someone looking at me but I'd turn around and think, 'Oh no, it's just Jesus watching over me,'" she says, laughing.
Her current project looks pretty menacing; a porcelain head with no body, and right now, no eyes. It is covered in a white spider-web-like pattern of plaster-filled cracks reaching from the crown, across the forehead to the cheekbone. No one here knows how the damage happened but it is, surprisingly, fixable. Watson smoothes the plaster with postage stamp-sized bits of sandpaper, followed by that scalpel, slowly working away the excess to be perfectly flush with the rest of the doll's face.
Once that's done, she'll get to work with the paint. She proudly shows off a previous job, a perfect example of a flawless English rose complexion. Other recent patients have included a Darth Vader toy, a not-so-giggly Tickle Me Elmo and a GI Joe. The other day they had an urgent overnight fix-it job fora little girl who couldn't bear to spend more than afew hours apart from her beloved doll. She showed up the next day in a princess outfit, too shy to talkto anyone except her very-much-missed best friend.
When the injured dolls first arrive for treatment, it's Trilby Conway who casts a well-trained eye over them, examining for loose limbs, lazy eyes and bald spots. The softly spoken blonde used to paint mannequins for a living; now her canvases are a little smaller. There's a sign announcing the "Triage" area near the front door - it's not the most dignified location, but it seems to work for Conway and her patients.
In nine cubby holes are nine plastic washing baskets, each filled with a teddy bear or doll, each registering somewhere on the dismantled jigsaw spectrum, discoloured feet poking over the end waiting for a final diagnosis. Patient names hang on the bed-ends on big white cards. Evans is an elderly teddy bear with a nasty looking head wound, stuffing oozing out fromhis neck and ears.
Goodwin has lost a toe and her porcelain complexion looks busted and broken, her forehead shattered, faded blue eyes stunned. Their worried families leave them in the capable hands of Conway and her team - usually for six toeight weeks - as medical notes are pinned to them.
The remedies often sound unpleasant, but apparently necessary: re-stringing, re-painting, new eyes, new hair, fixing a shattered shoulder or replacing a lost limb. The waiting room they are held in is also the prosthetics room. The injured masses are surrounded by spare torsos, noise-making "mama boxes", arms, legs and extra heads. It's more than a bit off-putting, but like the human versions, many of these transplantable parts have been selflessly donated by dolls unable to win their fight.
Conway says they don't lose very often though. "Pretty much no, if we can't do it, nobody can. There are cases, when a body is really ruined on a doll, we will put a new one on but we always keep the original head, because that's what people remember. It's nostalgia. You don't want a doll that looks like your doll; you want your doll that went through your childhood with you. You have all those memories with it."
The Dolls Hospital usually has at least five new patients a week. This morning Conway welcomeda Ghandi statue that lost the top of its walking stick ina house move - not really a doll, but the techniques are the same: precision, clean work and a delicate touch.
Then there was the China-faced doll brought in by an older woman obviously attached to what she introduced as "my little baby, my little girl". It turns out this is a 65-year-old doll that has become the plaything of a nine-year-old girl. Rather than collecting her pension, a few touch-ups are needed so she can keep earning her keep as the ultimate companion.
Conway undresses her like you would a baby that's on the verge of drifting off to sleep, gently removing the faded lemon nightie and bloomers. The baby blue booties get to stay. As the legs pop out of their joints, it's clear this baby needs re-stringing - it's the technique that keeps the limbs close to the body, and tight in their movement.
Some worn skin around her arms and legs will needto be fixed too. To the pride of her owner though, Conway deems her face to be perfect. The only improvement is a little bit of lippie, nothing too gaudy. Something befitting a lady in her 60s. It will cost upwards of $500.
These aren't just toys; they are things that mean something to the people who love them. And Conway gets that. "I think it's really difficult to biff a doll in the rubbish bin - and if you've told them all your little secrets over the years, then it's very hard."

Title: Plant cloning or genetic engineering
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Can you take one genome (strain) and take a clean cut and put onto another plant another strain?
What you are suggesting, I think, is essentially cloning (à la Dolly, the sheep) or producing an identical copy of a plant. There are much simpler ways to produce clones in plants. In fact, many plants produce clones on their own. For example, Populus tremuloides (Quaking aspen) reproduce by seeds and by root sprouts. The ones that reproduce by root sprouts are clones. This article from the US Forest Service says:
"Aspen is noted for its ability to regenerate vegetatively by shoots and suckers arising along its long lateral roots. Root sprouting results in many genetically identical trees, in aggregate called a "clone". All the trees in a clone have identical characteristics and share a root structure."
Other examples of plants that produce identical copies of themselves are strawberries and many grasses that send out stolons (modified aboveground stems) or rhizomes (modified underground stems) that take root to form new plants.
For most plants, cloning is possible by taking cuttings and rooting them in a proper medium. Here are detailed instructions for cloning plants from cuttings. A more complicated and time-consuming way to produce plant clones uses very small pieces of plant and tissue culture. In fact, recently a Russian scientific team, using tissue culture, was able to reproduce a plant, Sylene stenophylla, from tissue that had been frozen for 30,000 years in a squirrel's burrow in the Siberian permafrost.
Interspecific grafting (and even intergeneric grafting, although not generally successful) is also possible. This involves connecting shoots of one species to the root stock of another species creating a compound genetic system with each species contributing its strengths (e.g., the root stock from the species with a strong root system and the shoot from a species with a desirable shoot system).
Finally, with genetic engineering techniques it is possible to insert genes from another species into a plant species and have them be functional—even genes from a completely different kingdom (e.g., from Kingdom Monera [bacteria, blue-green algae and spirochetes] into Kingdom Plantae). Here are some of the goals in genetic engineering of plants:
- improving nutrition of food plants (e.g., golden rice that contains beta-carotene a precursor for producing vitamin A)
- making plants resistant to fungi, insects, herbicides and herbivores (e.g., inserting the genome of Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterium, into plants [potatoes, corn, etc.] to protect them from Colorado potato beetles and corn borers)
- modifying plant genomes to produce a specific product (e.g., coffee beans without caffeine)
- changing the ripening and storage qualities of the fruits of plants (e.g., slow ripening tomatoes)

Actually, I take that back. I believe the object of this site should be to get the best tab possible and if there's one that has some things correct, why should someone have to start over to make a new one? We should be able to build up to the perfect tab. The thing is, I know there are mistakes in my tab, but they weren't toyed with. The only thing changed was the outro with the two guitars. And I thought about that part alot, about which way I should do it and I decided to go with the way that's eaiser. I've never understood the tabs that have the pull-off where you need 12 inch hands to do it. I've seen them do it tah way in the live acoustic version, but I don't see any evidence of it being done in the original. I think the 3 string method is just fine.
Seems like an odd reason to feel like you have to submit a whole new tab.

Kylie Minogue has axed the plan to commence a big world tour next year after doctor advises her on putting her health as priority.
Kylie Minogue seems to go with the doctor's advise not to push herself into a world tour that may put her health in jeopardy. The 39-year-old who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 is not touring to support 'X', at least in near future.
As much as she wants it, disappointed Kylie revealed to Daily Mail, "The tour is not going to happen, it is far too soon. I can't do it next year. It kind of breaks my heart because that is what I'm in this business for. Not being able to go ahead with my plans is a real downer."
The world tour was slated to commence mid next year when she reaches 40 on May 28. She was talking big scale when the plan first came up. Designer William Baker told Britain's The Sun, "I am so busy. I'm heading back into the studio with Kylie in February to start training for the tour we want to do in June. It's going to be fabulous. I have a couple of ideas but they need a bit of work. It takes ages to pull it all together so we want to take out time on it."
Kylie was given an 'all-clear' in 2006 but she has since changed the priority in her life. "Every woman has to face up to new priorities, near the top is health," she added. "I take my health very seriously but not obsessively. Everything is about pacing yourself."
Kylie will release her tenth studio album 'X' on November 26 and February 12 in U.K. and U.S. respectively.

Hillside repairs to cost $35K more than expected
West View council members unanimously approved a bid for hillside repairs on Bell Drive, which borough officials say is eroding quickly.
The council rejected bids for the project at its March meeting because the lowest bid was about $60,000 more than what was budgeted for the project.
The bid council accepted April 10 from Golden Triangle Construction was for $119,900, which still is more than the $85,000 budgeted for the project.
Council members sought new bids in March that didn't include the cost of road repaving and guide-rail reconstruction, which borough employees will do.
Council President Barry Schell said borough officials noticed that the hillside on Bell Drive was eroding quickly in the past year and put up barricades last summer along the side of the road.

How Much am I Paying to Access My Money?
October 29, 2015 | Your Finances
Stopping at the corner ATM could now easily cost more than your morning cup of joe.
To be precise, a new survey from Bankrate finds that the average out-of-network ATM fee totals a record $4.52.
How's that for a jolt to your system?
The $4.52 breaks down to $2.88 for the ATM operator and $1.64 for your bank—and means that the fees for easy access to your own cash have risen 21% in five years.
And it's not just ATM fees. If you're not monitoring your balance, you may be hit with an overdraft fee, and the average now tops $33 (up 9% from five years ago). These extras can add up fast, taking a toll on your savings.
It doesn't help that the share of truly free checking accounts has dipped to 37%. Instead, Bankrate analysts find that more institutions are requiring higher minimum balances and monthly direct deposits before they will waive your maintenance fee (another $5.86 a month on average).
But with some easy preparation, you can better ensure your money actually stays in your account.
Tips for Avoiding Checking Account Fees
- Calculate your weekly flex number and withdraw that amount to cut down on the frequency of your ATM visits.
- Stick with in-network ATMs or find an institution that will reimburse you for out-of-network transactions.
- Consider downloading your bank's app; some have locators to help you identify a nearby fee-free ATM.
- Shop around for institutions that still offer free checking, like small banks, credit unions and online banks.
- Set up an automatic alert so that you'll be notified if your balance falls below a certain amount.
If you're still hit with a charge, find out how to talk your way out of bank fees and save money at the ATM.
