I loved staying at Fisher House Bed and Breakfast! I stayed in the private room from January 30th - February 2nd. I loved the room, it was quiet, and cozy (as each room has its own thermostat-electric heat). The private room has an ensuite with shower. The breakfasts are large and delicious! I highly recommend staying at Fisher House. It's close to town, and it's quiet. If I'm in the area again, I'll be sure to book here again! -Roberta K

Very cosy B&B in a quiet residential area of Victoria, a 15 minute walk away from downtown Victoria. Comfortable room, standard size for a B&B. Guests have their own bathroom, but it is located outside the room across the hallway. Our host Jennifer was very welcoming and gave us helpful explanations about Victoria. The breakfast was delicious.

Great location, and the rooms were lovely. Great breakfasts. We would have preferred the bed to be made each day and the trash emptied.

For the first time since Sept. 17, the Rockies won a game started by their ace, Ubaldo Jimenez. He had made nine consecutive starts in games the Rockies lost, including six this season, which he began 0-3 with a 6.67 ERA.
Jimenez is still winless in 2011 and still carrying an unsightly 6.14 ERA. But he pitched seven innings for the first time this year, and after the Rockies rallied for four runs in the eighth to beat the Giants 5-3, manager Jim Tracy was extremely pleased.
"The performance Ubaldo gave us was a winning performance," Tracy said. "He didn't get the decision, but he pitched well enough to win."
Jimenez allowed three runs and eight hits and matched his season bests with one walk and seven strikeouts.
He gave up a run in the second when Aubrey Huff doubled and Miguel Tejada followed with a single and two in the third on three straight two-out hits, the last a two-run double by Pat Burrell on a 3-0 fastball that was right over the heart of the plate, a pitch Burrell drove into the gap in left-center.
Jimenez then gave up his lone walk, after which he retired 13 of the final 16 batters he faced. He got nine outs on groundballs and just three on flyballs to the outfield, which were encouraging signs. He threw 116 pitches, including 72 strikes.
Jimenez retired the Giants in order on six pitches, five strikes, in the first, and all were fastballs. Indeed, catcher Chris Iannetta said he noticed when Jimenez was warming up before the game, "he looked more like himself than he had in the last few starts." Iannetta said Jimenez's posture, balance and delivery "looked night and day from where he was a few weeks ago" while warming up in the bullpen. With that in mind, Iannetta made the decision in the first inning to call for more fastballs.
"I wanted him to get back to pitching with his fastball," Iannetta said. "He has a good done. Let's dominate with the fastball. Let's get ahead with the fastball and let that complement his offspeed pitches, instead of teams just sitting on his offspeed (pitches) or waiting for him to throw a pitch over the middle because he's behind."
Jimenez is still looking for his first win since Sept. 17. But after this outing against the Giants, he was, at long last, upbeat and able to feel he had contributed to the team rather than drag it down.
"It's been really hard for me," Jimenez said. "Every time I go out there, I try to give 100 percent to give the team a chance to win, but I haven't been able to do that. I did it today, so I feel really good, especially (coming) against the Giants."

The Transformers
- Headmaster Autobot Base Fortress Maximus
Accessories: Spike Headmaster unit, Cerebros large Headmaster unit, Gasket, Grommet, Photon Rifle, Dual Laser Cannon, Cerebros's Mini Laser Rifle, Cog's Laser rifle, Radar Scope, Master Sword (Japanese release only), Cerebros's sword (Japanese release only)
- Fortress Maximus is, by far, the largest Transformers toy ever produced (That is, untill the arrival of the new Generations Metroplex.) In robot mode it stands 22" (or 56 cm) tall, nearly 8" (20 cm) taller than its in-fiction rival Scorponok. The original retail price was over $100USD. Taking into account ongoing trends in toy pricing and retail shelf space jockeying, it is highly doubtful any other Transformers even close to this size would ever be made again.
- The toy has multiple alt mode configurations, transforming into a relatively compact "city" mode, and also a secondary mode described in the US instruction as a "battle station." That mode was rebranded as a starship for the Japanese instructions, and is the "default" mode for Fortress Maximus in the Headmasters animated series. Additionally, the 1987 Hasbro toy catalog features a mis-transformed Fortress Maximus in a mode referred to as an "impenetrable fortress," essentially consisting of his city mode with the legs splayed outwards.
- In all modes, Maximus has a wide array of pop-out (non-firing) guns and gimmicks. Its left leg hides a small prison cell, plus has a swing-out cannon/helipad. Its right leg has a small storage compartment. Its torso has a gear-activated spinner for the detachable radar array accessory, a "control socket" for Cerebros' "communications tower" mode, and a working elevator that can lift small toys up to its central ramp to be launched in its altmodes. (The crank for this elevator ends up in a very unfortunate position in robot mode.) Each arm had a long ramp on the back with sliding launchers for small vehicles.
- Its robot-mode head is formed by Cerebros, who does not actually need Spike to attach to the upper body. It came with both Headmaster units, plus the Gasket and Grommet mini-vehicles (which, by the way, never appeared in the cartoon).
- This mold was used to make Masterforce Grand Maximus, Car Robots Brave Maximus, and Robot Masters Cybertron Base.
Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers
The Headmasters
- C-114 Fortress Maximus
This release by Takara is identical to Headmaster Autobot Base Fortress Maximus except it comes with a pair of Master Swords; one for Fortress and one for Fortress Maximus. Is currently unknown if the swords were originally planned for the Hasbro version but dropped for price or safety concerns, or if they were a Takara-initiated addition to their release of the toy.
Transformers Juniors
- Fortress Maximus
- Accessories: Fortress Headmaster unit, Photon Rifle
- A smaller rendering of the character, scaled down to regular Transformer size, and with only one head. Fortress Maximus Jnr. could only transform from his starship mode to his robot mode, as his legs lack the joints to fold into city mode. Much of his detail and accessories have been simplified into stickers, such as his shin cannons. He comes with only one weapon, his large blue photon rifle.
- This toy was also available in a leaders three-pack with Chromedome and Convoy Jnr.
Transformers Generations
Titans Return
Titan-class Emissary & Cerebros Fortress MaximusAn extensive retooling of Titan-class Metroplex. Some parts are different, some are just different colors (e.g. the double jointed arms) whereas other parts are the same but are utilized differently (e.g. the torso and hips, the ramps on the legs are now on the arms etc.
Transformers Legends
- LG-31 Fortress Maximus
A redeco of Titan-class Fortress Maximus by TakaraTomy with a color-scheme that's more accurate to the character of Fortress Maximus of Transformers: The Headmasters; a gray, blue and red abdomen as opposed to a completely blue one and a blue translucent panel on his left shoulder as opposed to a green one. Only the shin cannons are red with the surrounding armor being grey. The smallest component, Cerebros, has a different face on its back to Titans Return Emissary in order to better represent the character Fortress who has a grey color scheme and no visor unlike Titans Return Cerebros).
Super Collection Figure
- Fortress Maximus was a larger "build-a-bot" from the third "Act" of the PVC line; one piece of it was packaged in each of the six clear pieces in a case of twelve. Like the regular PVCs, it was available both in full-color or colorless-clear versions.
Heroes of Cybertron
- The Fortress Maximus PVC was revisited for Hasbro's Heroes of Cybertron line, again as a pack-in, one part in each of the six releases of wave four. This version was cast entirely in clear-blue plastic then painted over, save a small spot on his head to give him a "light-pipe" glowing-eyes effect.
- Torso : Dirge
- Head & sword: Perceptor
- Left arm: Powermaster Gigatron
- Right arm: Wheeljack
- Left leg: Autobot Jazz
- Right leg : Autobot Espionage Team (Bumblebee & Spike)
Kabaya DX Transformers Gum
- Fortress Maximus
A licensed model kit by Kabaya that comes packaged with chewing gum.

A man was fatally shot inside his Marrero home early Friday morning, according to Glen Boyd, a spokesman for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
Boyd said two men forced their way inside the victim's house in the 2400 block of Oregon Street at about 2:15 a.m.. They shot the victim, later identified as Marlon Bennett, once in the head, according to Boyd. He said the men then fled in an unknown vehicle. There are currently no suspects in the shooting.

Shortlisted for: Crime & Thriller of the Year - Specsavers National Book Awards 2012
A Glasgow post office. Martin Pavel cowers on the floor, his eyes locked on those of a terrified child. Above them a masked gunman wields an AK-47 while the boy's grandfather calmly volunteers to help gather the money. Then the old man stands passively, hands by his sides, while the gunman raises the barrel and shoots him to shreds. Recently returned to work after the birth of her twins, DS Alex Morrow is called in to head the investigation. Morrow's enquiries lead her to the door of Kenny Gallagher, a politician fighting for his political life - and his marriage - after he's publicly accused of having an affair with a young employee.

"A bit predictable"
Enjoyable enough, but at times a bit predictable even for me, who is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
I would recommend it though as I have previously enjoyed Denise Mina"s books. I like no nonsense detective

On May 18, the day that marks the 65th anniversary of the 1944 deportations, a group of a few dozen Crimean Tatars spent some two hours walking around Kyiv's Lipki neighborhood, squeezing themselves, their flags with black ribbons and their banners through the cars parked on sidewalks, distributing leaflets with info on the deportations to the passerby - but getting little to no attention from most people. It's Kyiv, of course: the past four years have taught many people here to ignore all kinds of political rallies, especially such tiny ones. Zero attention from the authorities is as typical - but, all things considered, it seemed a bit more disappointing on that day.
First, the Crimean Tatars walked to the Rada, where they didn't get to enter the little maidan in front of the Rada building. They didn't make it to the Presidential Secretariat, either, because the street leading to it was full of the newly-jobless gambling business protesters. On the way back to their base by Kabmin, where they'd been protesting for the past few weeks, they stopped to chant "Shame on the government!" in Ukrainian and Russian, but only a few cops stationed to guard the Ministry of Finance, one of the Rada buildings and the cars parked in between, seemed to be their audience.
Back by Kabmin, they held a memorial prayer for the dead. A few people spoke about the deportations and the problems they've been facing since their return. Then they resumed their honking and chanting, calling Tymoshenko, demanding her personal involvement in resolving the land conflict. Six people - four men and two women - had been on a hunger strike for a few days by then, and, as far as I know, they still are.
Here are some pictures from May 18 (the whole set is here):
I spoke with two elderly women that day. One of them was 7 years old in 1944, and she barely managed to keep herself from crying as she was telling me some of what she remembered from that time. We talked about the more recent history, too: the Soviet dissident movement and the Crimean Tatar role in it. Both of them also spoke of the hardship and humiliation they've been subjected to since their return to Crimea: three families living in one little house, their children unable to start their own families; problems with employment; a lack of Crimean Tatar schools; hostile and biased attitudes towards Crimean Tatars in general.
Some of the problems they mentioned affect just about everyone in Ukraine in one way or another, but this should not serve as a justification for ignoring these problems - definitely not in Crimea.
Later that day, I talked to a friend who seems to know a thing or two about Crimea. Part of the reason these people are being ignored by the authorities in such a spectacular way, I was told, could be the somewhat marginal status of the NGO that's organizing the protests. According to my friend, this group has plenty of popular support in Crimea, but due to their proactive role in the fight for the land and a number of other factors, including religion, mainstream Crimean Tatar leaders appear reluctant to publicly associate with them, and that, among other things, could explain why they aren't getting much response from the authorities in Kyiv.
I've no idea how much of this is true: need to stop reading about the Soviet dissident movement and instead educate myself on the contemporary Crimean Tatar politics. I do know, however, that these people explain their current presence in Kyiv by the fact that the government is doing nothing of what it promised to do to resolve the land conflict - and that sounds perfectly credible to me.

I re-lit a few candles that had been lit by someone else before me - it was too windy to keep the candles burning:

By now, I do have doubts about Lutsenko's Germany scandal: way too much politics, too few facts presented.
We're watching Savik Shuster's soap opera right now (of course), and I don't understand why they can't get someone from the German police and/or Lufthansa - someone who was directly involved in the incident - to talk live about it. Where are those people? Do they exist?
Instead, we have to listen to Nestor Shufrych, who claims that he has never tasted alcohol in his life, and to others, who share their assumptions and recall various negative Lutsenko- or police-related episodes that are more or less irrelevant to what happened at Frankfurt airport. Hanna Herman mentioned Anton Chekhov's gun when she was talking about Lutsenko's fist on his election campaign posters. Another Party of Regions guy said that Lutsenko had threatened to ruin the coalition by withdrawing 20 of his people should BYuT and Lytvyn vote in favor of his resignation.
Later, there was a Germany-based Ukrainian journalist who talked about the case and attempts to cover it, and she did shed some light on it all, though not too much: no video exists; and it's up to Lutsenko and his lawyers to make some of the case papers public.
Lutsenko is very angry about the treatment of his ailing son by the German police - rightly so, I guess. And he's mad at the Party of Regions for claiming that Andriy Klyuyev had paid for his son's surgery (which cost Lutsenko €4,000). But he also repeated what he said about the children of politicians after his fight with Chernovetsky: that they - the children - should not be dragged into politics, no matter what. He didn't mention the Sicilian Mafia this time, but repeated that he had defended Yushchenko's son, and Tymoshenko's daughter, and Chernovetsky's son - and I'm afraid he genuinely believes that this is the right way of doing things.
Someone brought up Vitaly Klitschko's recent encounter with the German border officials (amazing, but both his and Lutsenko's scandals took place at Frankfurt airport) - and then they moved on to a brief discussion of the fate of our zarobitchany.
Pandora's box opened - and closed right away.
A charming young woman from Lviv - a student, not a labor migrant - talked about being detained and humiliated on her way back home via Poland. She was almost crying as she spoke about another Ukrainian woman she'd met in her cell - who was being starved by the Polish border guards.
The story did not generate any memorable responses.
Somewhat later, Lutsenko read a few paragraphs from last year's Dzerkalo Tyzhnya story about mistreatment of zarobitchany in Europe (here it is in Ukrainian, Russian, and English).
I'm not sure what the point of this reading was. Possibly, Lutsenko wanted to make us believe that he and his son were just like those zarobitchany - people with no rights, etc. Maybe he meant something different. I don't know.
But I hope Shuster will do a show on zarobitchany one day - and will invite some real people, not the bullshitting politicians. Because, unlike what some of them believe, it's not Lutsenko who's ruining Ukraine's image abroad when he misbehaves. What ruins Ukraine's image abroad is the existence of those millions of Ukrainian laborers who've been chased out of Ukraine to look for work elsewhere - and our bullshitting politicians are at the root of the problem.
Back to Lutsenko: I feel that both scenarios are credible - he could have been wrong and he could have been right - and at this point I don't really care which one they'll end up picking.

Crimean Tatars - and, possibly, some others - are currently protesting in front of the Cabinet of Ministers' building - have been there since April, I was told:
I noticed them accidentally on May 12, but it was past 6 PM already, so they were done for the day:
Some of their slogans:
"Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers is to blame for land conflicts in Crimea."
"Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers is causing social tensions in Crimea."
"Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers, start helping the peoples of Crimea already!"
"Yulia Vladimirovna, take the bureaucrats out of your ears - HEAR THE PEOPLE!!!" and "Yulia Vladimirovna, take the bureaucratic blinders off your eyes and see the problems of the people."

My camera's battery died when I least expected it, so I went back home to recharge, to have lunch and to upload the pictures from my May 9 walk:
81 of them - here.
Below is a quick tour:
Our Stalinists have their own Stalin-like persona, of course:
And this must be their idea of Jesus:
And our Communists and Socialists - Petro Symonenko and Oleksandr Moroz - are, of course, taking all the credit for the victory:
The very few old veterans still alive look very moving, everyone is congratulating them:
But, unfortunately, they get somewhat obscured by Lenin, Stalin and their followers - who, in their turn, get somewhat obscured by our ordinary people, which is good:
The Holodomor Memorial looks as if there has indeed been some serious mismanagement of funds allotted for its construction:
The Afghan War veterans are remembered as well today:
And here's my very favorite picture of all - it has little to do with May 9, I guess, except that the guy was standing right above me as I was cooling off in the shade at the WWII Memorial compound, and he agreed to have his picture taken, though he didn't sound all too friendly:
The Baba - the Motherland - is still there, of course:

I take lisinopril/hctz and have problems with pains in legs. Sometimes there is a burning sensation when I lay down. I was wondering if this could be a side effect. I am also overweight. I take low dose levothyroxine also. Dr. told me to take glucosamine for joint pain but it hasn't helped.READ MORE
I take lisinopril/Hctz and have chronic leg pain, is there a connection
Hello Mary McSweeny,
Yes there could be a connection. Let me explain.
HCTZ, or hydrochlorothiazide, is a diuretic drug used to reduce blood pressure. It works in your kidneys, the organs in your body that make urine, by getting rid of different electrolytes into urine. This, in turn, causes more of the water part of your blood to removed in the kidney, too.
Your body uses electrolytes in nerve conduction and muscle contraction. When you do not have enough of these minerals (more correctly, ions, but that's another discussion), it can cause muscle cramps which can be painful.
However, electrolyte abnormalities are not often described as burning. There are several other medical conditions that cause pain in the legs. One, your hypothyroid, if not adequately treated, could cause pain. If you have diabetes, you could have something called peripheral neuropathy. Also, depending on your age, you could have arthritic changes in your spine which impinge on the nerves exiting from your spinal cord, causing what is commonly called sciatica.
All of these are possibilities of the cause of your pain. You should make an appointment soon with your doctor to determine the exact cause of your pain. Be sure to note all your symptoms, when they occur, what makes your pain better and worse, and relate these to your physician.
To your health,

GET AWAY FROM THIS DANGEROUS DRUG AS FAST AS YOU CAN . After 2 years of 40mg/day I could hardly walk due to severe joint pain. 3 different doctors all told me this drug was well tolerated and acted like I was stupid for complaining. All of them gave me the same speech and drew the same diagram on paper about why Lisinopril was the best drug out there. It amazed me that the drug companies had these guys so brainwashed.
When I told the doctor about some of these posts he said "Yeah, you can find any answer you want on the internet. People don't know what's going on" They wanted to give me more drugs to counteract the joint pain. They didn't know why my energy level was at an all-time low. It surely couldn't have been their wonder drug.
Needless to say, once I got away from this stuff I started feeling immediately better. I now take 5mg Norvasc and my blood pressure has dropped dramatically. I have lost weight, my joints are back to normal, I have energy. DON'T LET THE DOCTORS TALK YOU INTO LISINOPRIL .
IT'S YOUR LIFE.I have been taking lisonopril for over two yrs and for over one yr I had almost constant leg pains and cramps. I could not walk so had to shop online. Groceries cost more. I thought it was my overweight causing it but after Seeing the doctor and told to take my medications at night for stents in my heart and blood pressure and not saying the leg pains could be from medicine I am taking, a week later when pains were worst I looked into my iPad for side effects from all the medicine I was taking. Lisonopril had several articles and reviews from patients with leg pains. My pains were so bad I stopped the Lisonopril and the second day the pains had stopped. Three weeks later there are no more pains, just soreness from not being able to use the legs for over a year and now walking around the grocery store. Have to get the stamina back in my legs... Back to the pool! One article said leg pains will occur 100 percent after age 60. I am 73 and lost a year of my life from the pain and cramps in my legs. They took me off chrolestral drug when the pains started over a year ago. This drug causes similar side effects. But it was Lisonopril causing the pain and weakness... I wish docs had more time to learn side effects but body chemistry is different...

You purchased your SC2 because its reliable service and an American name struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Make no mistake, you bought your SC2 because you knew that you wanted horsepower and unique styling both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Saturn vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your automobile. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs currently being driven today.
Your engine's accessories would not function properly without the use of your serpentine or drive belts. Your Saturn SC2 drive or serpentine belts transmit power from the crankshaft to these accessories. But since they are traveling at such high speeds, they can be prone to breaking; potentially leaving your engine without the use of its alternator, water pump, or more. Saturn SC2 engines with just one belt that joins all of the accessories to the crank pulley have a serpentine belt, while more than one would all be called drive belts.
Ordering new Saturn parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement SC2 parts on the internet. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Saturn SC2 part for your project or repair. When your Saturn needs a top quality replacement Drive & Serpentine Belt, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount.

I'm trying to keep our list of stores in just one place (Campaign Monitor) and keep the subscribe form on our website up-to-date automatically. i think that would be much easier if the List.GetCustomFields would indicate the appropriate value attribute for each FieldOption
Or is there some other place to obtain this automatically? Can you just document and expose the ajax call that creates the form on the website 'Create a subscribe form' function?
Thanks very much for the suggestion. The reason the API method just returns the text value of the multi-option option is because that is all that is required for submissions via the API, which is what the GetCustomFields method is geared towards. There is no other place you can automatically get the info at the moment. I'll put in a feature request referencing your post, but we can't guarantee any release or improvement without enough requests for this functionality. Thanks again.

I fell in love with this girl several months ago and, at the time, it started to seem like she might be feeling something for me as well. However, shortly thereafter, her boss made things difficult. We rarely had time to get together except when she was working at this bar and he had an issue with me visiting her even though I was a paying customer. Long story short, I couldn't see her at the bar anymore. We tried getting together a few times since then but things came up and she also said she was seeing someone... though I'm not sure if she really was or not... she seemed excited about getting together but then seemed to get nervous or scared when the plans didn't work out.
We finally saw each other New Year's Eve when she was working at a new bar and we talked about a few things that had gone on. The guy she had said she was seeing was nowhere to be found while I was there...til after midnight. Over the course of the night, we did seem to get a little closer though nowhere near as close as we had been. When I left, she said we'd see each other soon but I'm guessing that just means when I stopped in the bar next.
Here's my dilemma...the last few months while things seemed strained between us, I was chatting with this other woman and we've talked about getting together for some no-strings attached fun. I'm not sure if the girl I love is really ready to get close again but I do know that once she is, there's no way I'll even think about another woman. I'm just trying to figure out if I should go for the sure thing on no-strings attached fun or wait for the one I love, even if it could take a few weeks or even a few months before things are back to normal between us.
Most Helpful Guy
Well, if you love the girlA, then you should definitely want to have the "fun" with girlA.
So, first make sure that she also loves you and then start proceeding.
The most important point is to know if girlA loves you and will you be able to have "fun" in, let's say, next 3 months.
If that doesn't seem like a possibility, girlA is your friend.
And you go to girlB for your "fun".00|00|0

Reader of acne.org since 2008. Things I have tried include antibiotics, most of the topicals (in high school before the cystic acne began in college), blue light therapy, spironolactone, saw palmetto, Obagi, and, of course, optimizing my diet. Most recently I tried Accutane, which was short lived because of the psychological and skin-thinning side effects. I wanted clear skin desperately, but I wish I'd heeded the horror stories. Accutane was the biggest mistake of my life.
I also post things on occasion to warn folks of the potential dangers of taking saw palmetto and other DHT inhibitors, based on personal experience and the mounting testimonials of others.

Very Scary Depressive Thoughts...in no time at all.
on 28/07/2013
After 8 years of living with acne, I finally decided to try Accutane and was excited to get it done with. I was on 40mg/day, and my mood plummeted faster than anything I'd ever experienced in my life. I had terribly dark thoughts and couldn't get away from them. My hair started falling out after two days. I couldn't think straight at all and had crying spells. I didn't even last a week on this stuff. It may work for you, but I regret taking ANY of it and am waiting for this miserable feeling to lift. I am happy for the people who have success with isotretinoin. But brain fog and seriously depressive thoughts cannot be ignored. Update: Literally FIVE days of this stuff has permanently eaten up my skin - eyelids, earlobes, forehead etc. You'd be insane to play Russian Roulette with your life for moderate to severe acne. Learn from me...I guess I never thought I'd become an Accutane victim. Good. God. Just because this experience didn't happen to you doesn't mean it isn't helpful.
Worth Trying!
on 23/07/2013
I think Obagi can definitely help a lot of people - look at these reviews. It's good for sun damage and scarred skin. It did help me at times and I will go back to it. I think it can even help some people with cystic acne. It wouldn't hold a candle to my deep cysts, though, as nothing topical will. That said, the cleanser combined with the toner is still good, potent stuff. Used with my Clarisonic, it kept the clear areas of my face looking good, and weirdly, I think it made the bad spots look as good as they could. I imagine that with consistent use this will yield the best results if I'm ever out of the woods with these deep cysts. Bottom line: just try it.
Stay Away
on 13/12/2011
This is an update to a review I posted over a year ago about saw palmetto:<br/>Saw palmetto is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. Some people experience brain fog and sexual dysfunction from inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to DHT. I've read that the mechanism of saw palmetto - even though it's natural - is similar to finasteride, a drug that has proven seriously dangerous for some men. Although I am a woman, I want to let everyone know that while saw palmetto may not bring you harm, taking it for a month has become the single biggest regret of my life. I realize how dramatic that sounds. But the brain fog I developed with it has never fully subsided, and my libido is low and nowhere NEAR what it used to be. Slow cognition and slow sex drive? Not worth it. Please think long and hard before deciding to try this. I'd give anything to go back and un-take it. Best of luck to all of you!

Teacher question: I'm a literacy coach, and one of the teachers in one of my online classes asked the following question: "The article mentions that using a dictionary to define a word is a superficial method of vocabulary acquisition. While it may be too rash to discontinue using dictionaries, how should they be used in vocabulary instruction, and how much should teachers rely on them in the classroom?"
Shanahan's response:
Bonjour, cher lecteurs.
Oops ... Hello, dear readers.
Awhile back I set out to teach myself to read French, with neither teacher nor class. My goal was to be able to read the news from a different culture (or maybe I was trying to make up for being Mrs. Benstein's worst French I student in high school).
I started with old textbooks from a programmed reader series, and then with the help of dictionary and Google Translate, I set out on a journey through flash cards, children's books, grown-up magazines, and heavily abridged French books.
Teacher question: In terms of teaching comprehension to grade 3-5 students, what is the best way to help the readers transfer the strategies they are taught so they can be independent, self-regulated readers?
Shanahan's response: If you want to teach reading comprehension strategies to on-grade level students between the ages of 8-10, we have a pretty good idea of how to do that successfully. The teaching of strategies is a good focus as well, given the large amount of research showing that strategy instruction can be beneficial.
Teacher question:
Our school district is going wild over Lexiles because they are in the Common Core standards. I think they are overdoing it and don't feel comfortable with some of the decisions that we are making. What are the weaknesses of Lexiles?
First, Lexiles is only one of several readability measures included in the CCSS. They started with that one, but as studies were completed they added ATOS, SourceRater, and several others.
Parents often ask how they can help their children learn to read; and it's no wonder that they're interested in this essential skill. Reading plays an important role in later school success. One study even demonstrates that how well 7-year-olds read predicts their income 35 years later!
Here are 11 practical recommendations for helping preschoolers and school-age students learn to read.
From a teacher:
What do you recommend is the best way to teach vocabulary to struggling readers at the middle school level?
My snappy reply:
From a reader:
Any thoughts on top 2 or 3 literacy concepts on which you would focus librarians? Grades 4-8?
My response:
Let me say how happy I am that you are available to students and teachers. As I make my way across the country I find fewer and fewer school-based librarians. Unfortunately, you appear to be part of a disappearing breed. Here are a few ideas.
When I was 8, there were two boys, Chris and Paul. They were both tow-heads, gentle and quiet, with loping walks; and both could draw beautifully… if a teacher struggled to draw a straight line or a round circle on the chalkboard, she'd ask Chris or Paul, who could do it, seemingly without effort.
How much of a "gap" can be compensated through differentiation? If my readers are at a 400 Lexile level, is there an effective way to use a 820 level chapter book?
This is a great question. (Have you ever noticed that usually means the responder thinks he has an answer).

This week in 1908, 1945
This week in 1908, the Republican convention comes to Chicago and nominates William Howard Taft, while the Cubs play a weekend series at the Polo Grounds in front of record crowds.
This week in 1945, a commission led by Manhattan Project scientists warn President Truman not to use a nuclear bomb against Japan, and the Cubs win 5 out of 6 against the Reds and Cardinals.

This week, Bert walks us through how to improve an interior shot by adding a door under the sink, lighting the candle, and cleaning up here and there.
To add a door under the sink, Bert takes his pen tool and outlines the door on the opposite side of the room. He then turns it into a selection and sends it to a new layer Via Copy. To flip it into the right position, he goes to Transform and chooses Horizontal. Then, to better fit the door into the opening, he reduces the size vertically, stretches it horizontally, and pulls the corners until they match the opening. Next, he goes into Hue/Saturation to darken the door slightly because it's in a darker part of the room. Lastly, he needs to crop out some areas so he applies a mask and erases the areas he does not want.
His next task is to do a little cleanup so he adds a new layer called "retouch," which will enable him to easily undo any changes, should he need to. To remove various spots on the floor and walls, he uses his clone tool to make some quick corrections.
His final task is to light the candle so he creates a new layer called "flame." He takes a small paintbrush and adds a dab of yellow where the flame would be. He then adds an orange bit above the yellow, and then some red above the orange. To create the flame he uses the finger tool and smudges the colors upward. To create a cast of light around the candle, he adds a new layer called "glow." He takes the eye-dropper to sample the yellow from the light above and then with a very soft paintbrush adds a swash of it around the flame. He then switches that to screen mode, reduces the opacity to 30%, and brings up the saturation to brighten it up.
Watch this week's video to get started on your design, and be sure to check back with Pixel Playground next week, when Bert will turn the lynda.com logo into a billboard sitting on the capitol steps!

What is JotForm?
JotForm is a free online form builder which helps you create online forms without writing a single line of code. No sign-up required.
At JotForm, we want to make sure that you're getting the online form builder help that you need. Our friendly customer support team is available 24/7.
We believe that if one user has a question, there could be more users who may have the same question. This is why many of our support forum threads are public and available to be searched and viewed. If you'd like help immediately, feel free to search for a similar question, or submit your question or concern.
How do I fill and submit forms using the Mobile App?Asked by torqtorq on April 30, 2014 at 09:09 AM
I noticed that the mobile app appears to be for viewing form results and not for submitting forms. Is there a mobile solution for filling out online forms that are not browser-based? If not, this system is useless to me.
JotForm Support
Our Mobile Apps are intended for administration of your Jotform account - forms and submissions - not the actual filling of the form - I'm afraid you cannot use them to fill out the form:
We would however, be interested in helping you develop your mobile app that would be use to fill out your form -or at least point you in the right direction:
A few questions first:
1. Which form would you like to be used on a mobile app?
2. Which platform are you intending on using the app on (Iphone - Android - Windows Mobile)?
Looking forward to your response.
Related - resources to consider:
I noticed that the app was for viewing results only. This is not something
I need to do on a mobile phone; we need to collect data remotely at each of
our company's stores, and that data can be viewed at our convenience from a
desktop computer.
1. I have built a store maintenance audit form that we would like our
employees to use at each of our store locations.
2. Our employees use iPads, but ideally it would support all three
platforms you mentioned.
-Ryan Schorr
JotForm Support
So which form in your Jotform account would you like to convert to a mobile app?
Please respond with the form URL/Title - Could it be this one - http://www.jotform.com/41193444151145 ?
That is the only form I currently have in the system, so yes, that's the
JotForm Support
I believe your primary approach would be on Apple's platform.
You would need an Iphone developer to accomplish this - it is quite possible to create and publish an Iphone app using your form.
The process is quite lengthy as described here: http://support.brightcove.com/en/app-cloud/docs/step-step-guide-publishing-apple-app-store-using-mac
I'm considering an alternative that woudl be easier -
What do you think about having your form have an Icon on your homescreen (on the Iphone platform)- and opens using the browser - but with the form designed to look better for a mobile screen?
Let us know.

Beware the Cookie Monster!
06 March 2012 by Becky Reid,
Now, I'm not much of a biscuit person, preferring the delights of savoury foods to sweets, but lately I've been dreaming about cookies.
Chocolate chip? Hazlenut? Nope. I've been dreaming about those small text files that live on everyone's computer and are the subject of much discussion in the marketing world at the moment. The bigwigs in Europe decided last year that some changes were needed to privacy laws and that the use of cookies needed to be addressed. The new law already exists but will be enforced from 26th May this year and I'm concerned about how many (if any) people know about this and how it going to affect them.
Now, I'm not a techno-geek (well, not completely) so hopefully I can explain it all in 'normal person' terms…
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer when you're browsing a website in order to improve your browsing experience. They are generally used to improve site functionality, like remembering what you've put in your shopping basket so that it's still there when you go to the checkout or remembering what language you selected when first visiting a site. They are also used by marketers (like me) to see how many people click on an advert (so we know how appealing the advert is) or to track your journey through the FIA website (so we can see which pages work and which put you off!).
Cookies DON'T contain personal information about you or I and they are NOT viruses, but they can be used maliciously as spyware, providing a gateway for nasty people to see what keys you press when logging in to your online banking, for example.
Since 2003 it's been the law that you need to tell visitors to your website about what cookies you use (do you already do that on your site?) but the law was then updated last year, making it a requirement to ask visitors to opt-in to having cookies downloaded onto their computer. Effectively we've just gone from opt-out to opt-in. And, yes, this law came in last May, although businesses are being given a 12 month grace period until 26th May 2012. After this date you could be prosecuted, which is what concerns me and which is why I'm on a one-woman mission to spread the word!
And if you think this law doesn't affect you, I bet it does… Do you use Google Analytics or Google AdWords? Then you're using cookies. Do any e-commerce from your site? Then you're using cookies. Have a login area? Then you're using cookies.
OK, so before you all go off and panic here are some simple steps you should take before the dawn rises on 26th May…
• Audit Your Cookies – what cookies do you use, what they do etc. Are they still relevant? Can you delete any of them?
• Gain Consent – you need to tell them they're there, explain what they do and ask permission to use them. Maybe via banner, adding some words at point of subscription or clicking an icon.
• Update your Privacy Policy – to include what cookies are used and why and how to withdraw consent. This needs to be clearly promoted on your site, not hidden away.
As I've said I'm no expert and I'm busy sorting this out for the FIA just like you. But hopefully I've given you a bit of a steer.
For more information visit the Information Commissioner's Office (the enforcers of this law!) website at www.ico.gov.uk.
Or view this 'Stupid EU Cookie Law' video by silktide
Now where's that biscuit barrel…I've got a strange craving for a HobNob.

Information for Journal Editors at MU
As creators and users of scholarly articles, you have the right to expect:
- Reasonable pricing and low rates of inflation
- Copyright contracts that are not "all or nothing"
- Arrangements for perpetual archiving for e-journals
The purpose of this page is to provide you with quick access to important information about the journal(s) you edit, so that you can enter discussions with your publisher from a well-informed perspective and ultimately choose which publishers or online journal platforms best suit your needs as producer and user of peer-reviewed information.
Tools for Journal Rankings and Price Comparisons
Transfer of Copyright Contracts
Search Engine for Publisher Copyright Transfer Contracts (University of Nottingham) If you don't find an up-to-date version of your publisher's copyright transfer agreement there, ask your publisher for a copy. These agreements may also be called "Publication Agreement" or "License to Publish."
Contract addendum for Transfer of Copyright contracts – generates legal language to spell out basic rights for academic authors with the regard to the articles they contribute to journals.
SPARC Author Initiative – includes further benchmarks for fair Transfer of Copyright contracts and what to do if the publisher refuses to accept an altered contract
NIH Public Access Policy – detailed information for NIH-Funded Researchers
Sample language for requesting a change to the publisher's Transfer of Copyright contract
Sample language for informing contributors about addenda to Transfer of Copyright contracts
Journal Archiving
- Check this list to see if your journal is covered in a publisher agreement with the not-for-profit e-journal archive called Portico. Portico keeps copies of original article files and takes responsibility for keeping them available in case of "triggering events" such as a publisher going out of business. If your publisher is not currently involved with Portico, ask them to consider joining.
- If your journal is available by subscription, ask the publisher to provide free access to articles that were published more than six months ago. An increasing range of journals is doing this without losing subscribers.
- If your journal exists only online or has an online version, be sure that its subscription agreements contains adequate provision for retention of back-issue articles in searchable form if a subscriber stops subscribing to the journal.
- Ask if your journal is available to scholars in developing countries through agreements like JSTOR's African Access Initiative.
Taking Action
- Use the information above to start conversations with your journal's publisher. Ask your publisher to consider changing practices that you believe are making the journal inaccessible to scholars in your field.
Sample wording for letter to publisher addressing all of the above issues (link to be added)
- Sign up for the MU journal editor email list in order to share experiences and ideas (MU faculty only) will link to a form in which the person will give us their name, MU email address and the name of the journal they edit
- If your publisher will not support adequate access to scholarship in your field, explore alternative publishing options for your peer-reviewed material. Be prepared for the fact that the publisher probably holds rights to the journal title.
Supplementary Reading
Journal Pricing Page – key articles provided by SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition
Ted Bergstrom's Journal Pricing Page – includes industry analysis from UCSD economist Ted Bergstrom

This book is a convenient reference to HyperTalk, the script-writing language of Apple Computer's HyperCard software. It is for any HyperTalk script writer---beginning to advanced---who needs quick access to concise descriptions of all HyperTalk elements. The book covers HyperTalk for HyperCard versions 1.0,1.0.1,1.1, 1.2, and 1.2.1. It identifies functional differences between versions and identifies features not available in certain versions.
The main section of the book completely describes all HyperTalk commands, control statements, functions, properties, constants, and system messages. These HyperTalk elements are all arranged together in alphabetic order like the entries in a dictionary. To find information on a specific element, simply look it up by name in the main section of the book.
The three appendixes contain general information relevant to many HyperTalk commands, functions, and so on.

text: Wow, great ending to this week's episode. Can't wait to figure out what the hell Faraday is up to. As of right now I am guessing that Faraday wanted in on the scientific experiements going on on the island, so he somehow got off and got himself into the position to be recruited by the Dharma Initiative, making them think that it was their own idea. I personally feel that Faraday is a great character, and will turn out to be vital to the show's plot.

Facebook user Micah Indiola on Thursday, November 26, 2015, has uploaded a video of two Filipino kids singing a different version of the popular Christmas carol written by James Lord Pierpont "Jingle Bells," and is making the rounds online.
Peculiar as it is, these Filipino kids belted out the song with the lyrics corresponding to what 'Generation Z' kids are born in such environment, environment with a highly sophisticated media and computer milieu and likely to be more Internet savvy.
The uploader said she met the young kids while they were out eating with her friends at Isaw Republic near University of Santo Tomas (UST) on Wednesday night.
She claimed they were expecting a good old carol with a usual and common Christmas song both got surprised and took their attention off the track as the kids started to sang a their own version of the said carol.Indiola admitted she find the lyrics are very entertaining and signifies Filipino creativity.
These kids were able to express their curiosity on Santa Clause through their Christmas rap song which according to Micah Indiola was already featured on GMA's noontime show "Eat Bulaga" by a group called Parañaque Rebels.
Namamaskong mga Bata
Habang kumakain kami sa "Isaw Republic" around UST last night, may dalawang batang lalaki na nangangaroling. Expected namin na usual at common na Christmas song ang kakantahin nila dahil nga mga bata pa sila. Muntikan na namin silang paalisin pero ng simulan nila ang kanta nila, napukaw ang aming atensyon (deep) sa kakaibang lyrics na inilatag nila gamit ang tono ng Jingle Bells.Isa lang ito sa patunay na magagaling at malikhain ang mga batang Pinoy. Nakakatuwa din na sa paggawa ng lyrics nila inilabas ang curiosity nila kay Santa Claus. Sobrang nakakatuwa ang lyrics, nung tinanong namin sila kung sino gumawa ng lyrics, yung kaibigan daw nila. Nawala ko ang papel na sinulatan nila ng pangalan nila pero sana makaabot ito sakanila. GOOD JOB!!!PS. Naifeature na pala ito sa Eat bulaga by Parañaque Rebels.#NamamaskoPo

There's also a lot of historical significances to this game which really makes it different than anything else. For one thing, it was one of a series of three games that was released, along with [the even more nauseatingly named ones of] Cutie Q and Gee Bee (which, if a fourth game would've been released, should've been called Gag Mee). Personally I don't know how Namco allowed this to happen, since, at first glance, all of the games seem pretty much identical -- until you get to playing them for a while, which you should notice some subtle differences then -- but then again, this was the 70s when they were released.
Also, the guy who created these games made another little obscure video game afterwards that you probably never heard of either...called Pac-Man. Ha ha! Had you going there, didn't I? Yep, these were the first games he delivered before that fateful little one would come out a year later that would turn into a worldwide phenomenon, but lets get onto this one in particular now, shall we?
The pinball (sorta) playfield is set up with bumpers in the corners, side gutters (protected by drop targets...until they're hit by the ball), a spinner in the middle, and drop targets in several places (my favorite part of a pinball game). The ball will launch from the bottom, rather than the side of the screen, and you have two paddles stacked on top of each other (a couple of inches apart) on the playfield to deflect the ball.
Of course, you must try to keep the ball in play for as long as possible, but that isn't any fun unless you've got bonuses in the game, right? Hence, NAMCO is spelled out at the bottom; if you're able to light up the word, that will advance the bonus multiplier. This is actually more difficult than it sounds, since if the ball rolls over every letter except for, say, the 'M', if it rolls over another letter before hitting the 'M', then that letter will dim, which it must be rolled over (/lit up again) before you can aim the ball at the 'M' to get the bonus up to 2x (or more).
Also, hitting all the drop targets at the side of a screen will increase the accompanying side bumper score up to 100 for each hit (the default is 10 points, which, as you can guess, the scoring's pretty slow on this game; good luck trying to get 20,000 or more points on this one, unless you have a paddle or dial controller with this ROM on your computer [which I'll get to later]!). Clearing out the two rows of drop targets in the upper center part of the screen (so the ball can get through to the top area of the playfield) will increase the bonus multiplier by 1000 points (the default is 1000), and hitting all of the drop targets at the very top center will cause a third bumper to appear in place of the targets...which is worth 1000 points PER HIT. It makes some cool sounds when you hit it too.
Reminds me, the sounds weren't bad for back then (especially with that 1000 point bumper upon activation), although they're probably a yawn to most players nowadays, the ball physics work fine for a Breakout-type game -- but for a pinball game? Naaaah -- and I would say the graphics are nice and colorful, but I think the "colors" were done by overlays, since, coming out in 1978, a lot of games back then still didn't have color (plus, with a ROM, you don't always know what you're getting anyway, if it was an official version of the game or not).
However, the game does have a few problems, most notably due to it's difficulty level, which the ball can start bouncing around pretty quickly in no time flat; at other times, it can bounce bounce bounce around without speeding up. I'm not absolutely certain what it is that causes this, but it seems to me that if it hits your paddles about four times, then that speeds it up; at other times when the ball kept on bouncing around without hitting my paddles, it kept with it's (initial) slow pace. This is a bit unfair, especially if you don't have a MAME machine without a spinner controller (although I heard those are expensive), since you can't quickly whisk the paddles over by pressing a keyboard key to try to prevent the ball from going down the drain when it takes off at a crazy angle (and a high rate of speed). At least there's a chance you can earn an extra ball though (the side drop targets at the bottom of the screen have to be cleared, with the ball entering the chamber below them).
This may have been what prevented these games from being major arcade hits, since I heard that they didn't do real well. I really don't see why the hell not, as they had to have been a bit revolutionary back then, and here, nearly 30 years later (at the time of this writing, hard to believe), the simplicity of combining Breakout and pinball are still fun as anything to me. However, this came out a year after Space Invaders did, so that might have been a factor: like in the Toy Story 2 movie, it was lamented of the time that kids stopped playing with "cowboy and indian"-themed toys to go for all the space ones instead, once the Sputnik satellite was launched, which may have been the same case here, as people frequenting the new arcade explosion wanted to see what existed in this new game genre of "space shoot 'em ups". (And then Pac-Man came out a year later.)
To summarize, out of the three games in this series, this one is the best, in my opinion, whereas Cutie Q is the most interesting (you get a chance to hit a monster that would suspiciously look like the ones in Pac-Man a year later [heh, guess the programmer had a few *certain* designs in mind all along, eh?]), and Gee Bee is the most difficult (bumpers are placed lower in the playfield, allowing a better chance for the ball to be shot down the drain quicker, the drop targets are reset with each new ball [they're not in Bomb Bee], not allowing you much of a chance to clear them out for bonuses, and the side drains aren't protected by drop targets initially, allowing the ball to go down them fairly often as well).
I have to thank my friend Greg for sending this along with a bunch of other ROMs a while back, although it also irks me that I wouldn't mind owning one of these machines, which, since they didn't do well in the arcades, are probably very difficult to find nowadays. So I don't know whether to hug or hit him because of that. 8/10

Dannii Minogue will not be a resident judge on Britain's Got Talent.
The new-look panel for the UK show includes David Walliams, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and the return of Simon Cowell himself.
Gone are judges Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff.
Simon Cowell said of his decision to return, "I miss Britain and I miss the British public and I miss judging them.
"By coming back in 2012, it's the year of the Olympics, it's a big year for Britain, we are going to be in the world's spotlight, and I want this show to be back in the world spotlight."
The confirmation means the likelihood of Minogue's availability for Australia's Got Talent is improved. She already appears on promos for the 2012 season.
The Britain's Got Talent prize fund has been boosted to £500,000 this series, with half of the amount coming from Cowell's own pocket.

This Master Class is offered in partnership with Columbia Business School Executive Education. You will receive a Certificate of Completion by IPL & Columbia.
Speaking with Impact
domain: science of people
program: connecting & inspiring
Maximize Your Public-Speaking Impact by Creating Deep Resonance with Your Audience
When we take center stage – in moderating a discussion, facilitating a workshop, delivering a speech or teaching a class – we get a pivotal opportunity to shape other people's views, build trust, cultivate our personal brand, and inspire people to action. Mastering public speaking is therefore critical to maximizing our impact as leaders. But many of us suffer from public speaking anxiety, and even those who are very confident with public speaking may not be that effective at it.
How can you master public speaking? Is there a way to tame public speaking anxiety? Are there techniques that will help you create an immediate connection with your audience, reduce the pressure you feel, and maximize your impact? How can you communicate with your audience in an authentic manner? What's the best way to respond to disagreement or disruptive behavior from the audience?
Speaking with Impact takes you on an inside-out journey into understanding and forging a powerful and intimate connection with your audience. It bucks the conventional trend to emphasizing simply the outer language of public speaking – enunciation, tone of voice, body language and facial expressions – and instead invites you to consider your, and the audience's, values, thoughts, feelings, beliefs and motivations. Instead of focusing on outer engagement with your audience, you will learn to cultivate inner resonance. Speaking with Impact will show you how, when you are fully integrated and connected with your audience from within, you create conditions for authentic expression, deeper engagement, and a collective journey toward your end goal.
What You Will Learn
- An inside-out framework that defines the key building blocks for audience impact
- Scientific insights into what speakers can do to make audiences engage with, trust, and support them
- Practical techniques for developing a winning connection with your audience
- Best practices on how to deal with moments of conflict, difficult personalities and detractors.
- Insights and tools for using visual communication to inform, persuade and inspire your audiences
- How great leaders have mastered their audience
- Video-based role-play practice and feedback of pivotal public speaking situations using IPL's proprietary Virtual Mentor platform
Course Structure
This IPL-Columbia Master Class offers you the opportunity to go on a focused 6-week learning journey to gain mastery over a particular personal leadership topic. Scientific insights and tools are supplemented with a strong dose of practice and personal integration.
- Duration: 6 weeks
- Time Required: 2 hours per week
- Self-paced, high-quality video lectures
- Online reflections and discussion
- IPL's proprietary myPL mobile learning platform for convenient on-the-go access
- IPL's proprietary Virtual Mentor platform for practice and feedback
- Certificate of Completion from the Institute for Personal Leadership & Columbia Business School Executive Education.
- Access to the IPL toolbox – tools, templates, and frameworks
Speaking with Impact is based on IPL's scientific learning system, integrating breakthrough research in psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics, sociology, medicine and psychotherapy, a rigorous study of great leaders and organizations, and a practical toolkit to drive tangible improvement in your personal leadership skills.
This online course is taught by Prof. Hitendra Wadhwa, Professor of Practice at Columbia Business School and Founder of the Institute for Personal Leadership. You can read his bio on the Columbia website or here on the IPL Founder's page.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The global credit crunch is starting to hamper Canadian banks' ability to raise longer-term funds but they remain well-capitalized and able to withstand big shocks, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Monday.
In a statement in apparent reaction to the drop on Canadian and world stock markets, Flaherty said Canada's mortgage system was sound and did not have the large subprime sector that has afflicted the United States.
"Nonetheless, Canada's financial system is not immune to the ongoing turmoil in global credit markets," he said. "The government of Canada stands ready to take whatever actions may be necessary to protect the stability of the Canadian financial sector."

text: Netflix ( NLFX), meantime, was under heavy selling pressure after the the streaming content and DVD rental company said it expects to increase its U.S. streaming subscriber base to a range of 26.4 million to 27.1 million in the fourth quarter, implying potential growth of 5.2-8% from its current base of 25.1 million, which came in at the low end of its outlook of 24.9 million to 25.7 million. "While we are not growing membership as fast as in 2010, we think that over time nearly all U.S. households will be broadband households, nearly all video will be Internet video, and that as our content and member experience continue to improve faster than competitors, our long-term domestic market opportunity remains 2-3x that of linear HBO," the company said. Netflix posted earnings of 13 cents a share on revenue of $905.1 million for the third quarter, beating Wall Street's consensus view for a profit of 4 cents a share on revenue of $904.9 million. For the fourth quarter, the company forecast between a loss of 23 cents a share and a profit of 4 cents a share vs. the current average analyst estimate for a a loss of 8 cents a share. The stock was last quoted at $57.14, down 16.2%, on volume of 2.76 million, according to Nasdaq.com. Other stocks active in late trades included SiriusXM Radio ( SIRI), which lost more than 2% after the company said CEO Mel Karmazin plans to step down in February 2013; and iRobot ( IRBT), which dropped more than 21% after the company reported revenue that missed Wall Street's expectations in the third quarter and forecast a loss for the fourth quarter. -- Written by Michael Baron in New York. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Michael Baron.
