Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/12/2010 (2438 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
What they do:
The Good Food Club has charitable status, but doesn't exactly give things away for free, since its low-income members put in sweat equity for their food. "It's a hand up rather than a handout," West Broadway Development Corp. executive director Molly McCracken said. The club helps its members "improve their lives and improve their resumés," she said. "Good Food Club is a place where people can get together and feel part of the community and supplement their standard of living."
Members pay a share going into the club. Each time they volunteer at the Wiens Shared Farm near St. Adolphe in the summer months, or help with monthly food box assembly, they earn points towards boxes of locally grown foods like tomatoes, carrots, parsnips, fruit, oats and honey.
"So there's a little more dignity in our program than other food banks," co-ordinator Tammy Klos said.
Hopes for the holidays:
December's food boxes will include the usual fresh produce, plus bonus Christmas goodies like chocolate and candy canes. While many charities have annual holiday feasts in December, the Good Food Club holds off on its feast until the New Year. "We have it January to have something to fight the winter blues," said McCracken. Last year, 75 people attended the dinner and the club hopes to attract more this year.
How to help:
Low-income people can help the club by joining for $5 and volunteering to earn food. The club is always looking for funding, so you can donate at CanadaHelps.org and get a tax-deductible receipt.
Good Food Club's holiday meal takes place at 6 p.m. Jan. 11, at 185 Young St. Cost: $5 for members, $10 for non-members.

"Treatment and care that is second to none!"
About: The Royal Marsden Hospital (Surrey) The Royal Marsden Hospital (Surrey) Sutton SM2 5PT
Posted by Judy C
My daughter has been treated for Non Hodgkins Lymphoma at Sutton for more than a year now.
The care, compassion, empathy and professionalism from everyone that she comes into contact with has continued to exceed our highest expectations.
Nothing is ever too much trouble and all the staff go that extra mile to help and provide support to us.
It has been a long road full of ups and downs, highs and lows.
When we have been distressed due to a failed treatment they have genuinely been disappointed for us and when we have had good news they have celebrated with us.
In particular all the team in the West Wing research unit are like a second family and will always have a special place in our hearts for them and will never forget their outstanding care.
Now that my daughter is about to undergo a stem cell transplant, the team there are showing the same excellent support so a HUGE thank you to all!
Response from The Royal Marsden Hospital (Surrey) 16 months ago
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your comments to inform us of your experience. We really value feedback as it helps us to strive for excellence in all our services.

Whether just in the back yard, or worse yet, in a wilderness survival situation, getting a tiny splinter under your skin can cause you big problems. The pain can be distracting and make necessary tasks difficult or impossible. If left unaddressed the splinter can lead to infection which could, if you are unable to access medical help, lead to death. In order to prevent something so small from causing you big problems get rid of any splinter as soon as you can. Here are 3 ways to get a splinter out easily in different situations.
Fingernail Clippers
If you have access to fingernail clippers this would be my first recommendation. Instead of trying to pull the splinter out by its back, start at the front of the splinter and, using the fingernail clippers, carefully pinch the skin above where the splinter is laying. Continue to pinch the skin and pull it, removing the skin over the splinter starting at the front and moving towards the back until the whole splinter is exposed. This process is surprisingly painless compared to trying to pull it out using tweezers. A similar process can be done by cutting the skin with a sharp blade but there are obvious dangers in that.
If the splinter is in your finger you can submerge your finger in water. This can be done in as little as a cap full of water if water is scarce. Leave your fingertip in the water until the skin on your fingertip has become white and the outer skin cells are water logged and soft. At this point it should be easy enough to remove the skin on top of the splinter with only the fingers on your other hand.
If the splinter is in a difficult place to reach and no one can help you, you can apply toothpaste to the site before bed. It could be done during the day be movement and sweat will likely reduce its effect. If toothpaste is not available any clean paste that reduces in size when it dries will work like oatmeal.
Something as small as a splinter sounds like it's no big deal, until its cutting down on your ability to get things done or getting infected and posing a serious threat to your life. Take care of it fast so you can get back to work.

Make sure the skin is open on the end where the splinter went in. Place a little mentholatum on the area and cover with bandaid at bedtime. In the morning remove bandaid and splinter if not already out will pop out easily with a little pinch.
This is a "Night-time only" solution:It works with wood, metal, glass, plastic, pimples, black-heads, anything "foreign". Put a piece of bacon fat on the splinter, put a band-aid over it and go to sleep.The "object" will be laying in the bacon fat in the morning. Painless, hassle free. Works with ANYTHING!
Elmer's glue works, as does wrapping the splinter with bacon over night. In the first car, let the glue dry and peel it off. The splinter should com off with the glue. In the second case the fat in the bacon softens the splinter an swells it, making it simple to remove. I bet liquid bandaid should work like the glue.
When I was a child,, my dad applied a piece of bacon fat to the splinter site held in place with a strip if tape. It lubricated the splinter and it came out on its own!
I like white glue. Just smear some on, Detroit dry, slowly pull it off and usually the splinter comes with it. Works with cactus spines too.
Another method is to take a card, like a credit card and lay it about 45 degrees against the skin and brush in one directions until the splinter comes out. Be sure to brush in the direction that it seems to be going in for best results.
Put a drop of Glue on top of splinter. Let it dry completely. When the glue is completely dried gently pull up an edge and start pealing glue off. The splinter should come right out. Good Luck and e-mail me if it worked for you.
Duct tape is a multi-use tool around my house! Apply a piece of duct tape to the splinter area. Leave it there a minute or two. Then quickly pull tape off in the opposite direction.
Another way is to cover splinter area with a thin layer of elmer's school glue. Once dry, peel off in opposite direction.
Have you ever used a straight pen or sewing needle to pull the splinter out?.
Hey I'm a classroom teacher. I teach middle school science. I found that duck tape is great for removing splinters when we're doing our major Popsicle roller coaster projects at the end of the year after studying Newton's Three Laws of Motion. I have also found that using honey is a great burn soother from the hot glue guns. Have been switching to low temp glue guns.
"Manly tape" as I call it (actually duct tape) is a wonderful way to remove cactus needles and splinters! Get the real stuff not the generic, I keep it in the kitchen drawer so it's always handy just tear off a small strip and place on the area of the splinter and pull it off, 95% of the time the splinter is out the first time if not you may have to try it a couple of times but it always works for me. Call me thankful, my eyesight is not what it use to be.
Here are some ideas.
Elmer's glue. Smear some over the splinter and let it dry. Pull it off in the direction you want the splinter to come out.
A sharp sewing needle. Slide the needle along the splinter as far as you can go, then lift the skin until it splits. This usually exposes enough of the splinter to get under it with the needle and lift it out.
I have always removed splinters painlessly with a knife blade 90 degrees to the skin and used it to simply scrap them out, has never failed make sure knife has a good edge and is clean!
I use DUCT TAPE .A small piece pressed over splinter area and then yanked off. It may take a few times to do the job. Wonderful, especially on bottom of feet where it is impossible to see. Sticker-Burrs 'track' into the house; get stuck on rugs and end up on toes.
Ichthymmol ointment on a soft gauze pad will help draw the splinter out over a few hours, and it relieves pain. As a kid this was known as drawing salve.
A good sharp fish hook is an effective instrument to clear the path to extract the splinter. Grandson has done this since he was three years old.
Get a product called PRID. Walmart cheap in the pharmacy. Little orange tin. Lasts forever. Place a very small dab on splinter sight and cover over night. Draws the splinter out to top of skin. This is an old drawing salve and works great. Has pulled out glass splinters from bottom on heal rather than going to er or physician. LOVE THIS STUFF.
Have the same tin for 16 plus years and still works. Black like tar so don't be afraid of the color.
Opening the skin even more than where the splinter went in originally might not be a good idea. It increases the area exposed to germs and opens more area for a possible infection. If the splinter cannot be pulled out from the entry point, putting an antibiotic on it and covering with a bandaid until you are in a better position to remove the splinter could be something to think about.
References: Former EMT, State and National certifications, 7 years in hospital experience
Another surefire splinter removal method: epsom salts. Put a pinch of epsom salts on the site of the splinter entry, cover it with a band-aid. Within 6 – 8 hour, the splinter will be painlessly pulled out. the epsom salts acts as a poultice and extracts the splinter without any digging.
I wouldn't use toothpaste, because the fluoride is a toxin that doesn't need to go to an open wound. I have always heard to use baking soda overnight, but other people's comments on oils, duct tape, and glue sound better.

The insurance industry in
Competitive vendor landscape
The growth of the nominal GDP in
"There is an increase in technological innovations in the micro-insurance industry. The recovery of the global economy, future innovations, and the sustainability of a growing global population rely on micro-insurance companies as these are considered economic growth engines," says
In response to high demand for micro-insurance products, micro-insurance companies must focus on innovation to gain a larger share of the markets. Micro-insurance customers are largely dependent on insurance providers as they are less aware of micro-insurance products. The low-income customers often do not have knowledge or proper understanding of the products and this lack of awareness about various sources of microfinancing products is hampering the growth of micro-insurance companies.

In these predictable console days where imagination and innovation play second fiddle to genre and cliché even the most stunning games can be tainted by the curse of the sequel, where publishers lose sight of what made a title so enticing in their haste to deliver something bigger, bolder and more complex. Yet while recent Prince Of Persias fell foul of the follow-up jinx and became increasingly befuddled and gloomy, this stripped down reworking of the agile aristocrats adroit antics is an exquisite return to form.
Ditching the capricious prince from the Sands Of Time in favour of a nomad who reluctantly stumbles into this magical quest, the new Persia offers the same heady blend of perilous platforming, swashbuckling swordplay and placid puzzle solving as its predecessors, but is firmly focused on giving players a more intuitive and thrilling experience where less is definitely more.
The most obvious benefit of this simplified approach is in the combat. While previous editions have seen players surrounded by squads of scimitar-wielding goons in pantaloons, all the combat in this latest edition is one-on-one, encouraging players to get to grips with the princes moves and chain attacks, rather than randomly hammering the buttons and hoping for the best. Reducing the size of the battles also makes for more cinematic altercations, the in-game camera rushing in to frame the action and highlight exciting moments, subsequently cranking up the drama to snapping point. An instinctive battle system where you can blend attacks rather than following patterns predetermined by the coders also makes for more engaging blade play, and the condensed clashes also allow for smarter villains and more challenging duels, making victories more rewarding as it takes genuine skill and timing to stab up the bad guys.
But while the combat is exhilarating, the role of violence has been dimished in favour of what Prince Of Persia does best: acrobatics. This time skirmishes are only used to punctuate the lithe heros jumping, swinging and tumbling, the game world constructed in a way that pushes players to search for the most efficient path forward and string together breathtaking stunts to reach their goal. The heros new metal glove, which allows him to slide down vertical surfaces, also adds new possibilities to the gymnastics, but whats most striking is the fluidity of the action; using streamlined controls where outrageous moves are unleashed with the simplest of button strokes, players can run along vertical walls, work with their computer-controlled companion to cross impossible gaps or swing from poles without becoming bogged-down in a mire of special moves, realising the games potential for spine-tingling set-pieces and making Prince Of Persia one of 2008s most exhilarating adventures.
Without doubt, Sands Of Time fans will decry Persias new structure where its impossible to die, the action instead reverting to an earlier save point and forcing gamers to play through certain sections again and again until they get it right. The games unique presentation a fresh take on the cel-shading made famous by The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker, but looking more like an animated watercolour than stylised computer graphics will also pique players more accustomed to the series more traditional art style, but for intoxicating action and dramatic feats of daring-do that make you feel like a character from The Matrix, Prince Of Persia is hard to beat.

Transparent Form Background for Facebook and color textAsked by Jared on February 26, 2011 at 07:42 PM
I've succusfully added a JotForm to my Facebook page, but the background is not transparent and the font is not white, as I set it up. How do i fix that?
JotForm Support
Hello, you can inject your own CSS settings into the form.
On the Form Builder:
1. Open "Setup & Share" tab on toolbar,
2. Click on "Preferences"
3. Click on "Form Styles" tab
4. Click on the value for "Inject Custom CSS" which is on the right side.
5. Insert the values:
.form-all { background: none; }
.form-line { background: none;}
.form-label-top { background: none; }
So far I'm seeing a white font color for your form, just being hidden by the white background.
Please let us know if you're experiencing more problems
I've added it, and it's still not working, is there another location that this could be adjusted?
Nevermind I got it to work, I don't know if the original form was corrupted some how, but I created a new form, but just used a copy of the original and it seemed to work. Thanks.

The inks in highlighters are often fluorescent colors. That means they are bright and easy to see, and it also means that the ink glows under a black light. Highlighter ink can be used for many black light crafts such as glowing flowers, glowing water and even glowing fake blood for Halloween. To make highlighter ink glow in the dark without a black light, mix the ink with glow-in-the-dark powder and a little water. Removing the ink from the pen is a simple task, but can be a little messy on the fingers.
Things You'll Need
- Pliers
- Small container
- Glow-in-the-dark powder (optional)
Remove the bottom of the highlighter pen. The bottoms of larger pens can be removed with your hands and fingernails by slipping your fingernail beneath the edge and prying off the bottom. Use a pair of pliers on smaller pens to break the bottom off.
Remove the long strip of foam from inside the pen. Sometimes the foam is coated in plastic, but not always. The foam absorbs the ink.
Squeeze the foam over a small container to release the ink. The ink will slowly drip out. Squeeze from the center of the foam down to the bottom to release as much of the ink as possible. Turn the foam around to squeeze out the rest from center to bottom. There is not a lot of ink highlighter pens. You will squeeze out a teaspoon or two at most.
Mix 2 tablespoons of water with the highlighter ink. Add 1/2 teaspoon of glow-in-the-dark powder and stir until it is fully dissolved. This mixture can be used as a watercolor paint and will glow after being in the sunlight and when under a black light.
Tips & Warnings
- Squeezing out the highlighter ink can be messy on the fingers. Be sure to wash your hands immediately after to prevent the ink from staining.
- One drop of highlighter ink is enough to color 8 ounces of water. The water will glow under a black light. Place a carnation in the water and it will glow under a black light once it has absorbed some of the water.

What is Dry Grad?
Dry Grad is an event which provides students with a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment to celebrate their graduation. It is a fully supervised fun event, sponsored by the Parents, where the grads can party with their friends, be entertained and participate in a fun-filled, action-packed night of celebration.
When is it?
Grads will be taken from the hotel to the Rec Centre by bus with Grade 11 Parent chaperones and from then on will be the Grad Committees responsibility with help from current Grade 11 parents who will supervise the Dry Grad overnight .
The Dry Grad will begin at 10.30pm and will end at 4am
There are no in and out priviledges at the Dry Grad . We have security organized and parents will be called to collect any Grad who is under the influence of alcohol or anything else . Obviously we trust this will not be necessary.
At the end Grads must be picked up by a parent or another Grads parent. No one will be allowed to leave alone. Again this is to ensure you get home safely .
Who is organizing this event?
PARENTS of the graduating class are the primary organizers however they welcome volunteers from the Grade 11 class as well. There are a number of committees who still need volunteers and there is definitely a job that suits every parent.

Vojislav Kostunica
Birthday Number 6
Vojislav Kostunica is a male celebrity.
He was born on Friday March 24th 1944, in Belgrade, Yugoslavia,.
Vojislav Kostunica is family-oriented and has a talent for settling disputes between people to the satisfaction of both sides. He somehow knows the middle ground.
His lesson in life is to work with the whole subject of balance. Vojislav Kostunica must come to truly understand the ancient and fundamental principle of opposites that seek harmony. Whether the realm is the emotions, caring for others, finances, work, or play, Vojislav must learn where he can be of service, exactly what he can do, and what are his limits.
Kostunica has a considerable amount of artistic talent, and he has a deep appreciation of beauty and art.
Vojislav's focus is on relationships. Vojislav wants to help others, and has a talent as a healer and could make a profession of the healing arts, either as a nutritionist, alternative health therapist (acupuncture, massage, for example) or doctor.
Vojislav Kostunica needs to know he is appreciated. He is given to flattery and vulnerable to praise. Criticism, on the other hand, leaves a very damaging impression on him, since Kostunica takes it deeply to heart.
Vojislav Kostunica is highly responsible and will do without in order to fulfill a debt. He will also sacrifice his own comfort to support and help others. Vojislav is generous, kind, and understanding.
Vojislav Kostunica can be highly emotional and given to extremes in sympathy and sentimentality. He must learn to provide more than merely a shoulder to cry on. Study and the development of his healing skills bring Kostunica great rewards in life.
You and Vojislav
About Vojislav's Birthday number
Vojislav's day of birth is one of his four core numbers - the Life Path, Expression, and Heart's Desire being the other three. It is the least significant of the four core numbers, but perhaps the most finite, in that it reveals a specific ability Vojislav Kostunica possesses in a marked degree.

Former Sarah Palin adviser Nicolle Wallace has long had a contentious public relationship with the former Alaska governor, but the politico-turned-novelist takes it to the next level with her new book, "It's Classified" - a novel about a mentally unstable vice presidential candidate who she says Sarah Palin inspired.
In a recent interview with Time magazine, Wallace, who advised Palin on the 2008 campaign trail, notes that the book is a work of fiction - but she says "It's Classified," which is based on the "idea of a mentally ill vice president who suffers in complete isolation," was "obviously sparked by the behaviors I witnessed by Sarah Palin."
"What if somebody who was ill-equipped for the office were to ascend to the presidency or vice presidency? What would they do? How long would it take for people to figure it out? I became consumed by this question," Wallace said, of her inspiration for the novel.
Wallace notes that the book is "by no means meant to build a case against Sarah Palin."
But she mentions that during the 2008 presidential race, "there certainly were discussions -- not for long because of the arc the campaign took -- but certainly there were discussions about whether, if they were to win, it would be appropriate for her to be sworn in."
"Palin vacillated between extraordinary highs on the campaign stage -- she ignited more enthusiasm than our side had seen at any other point -- to debilitating lows," Wallace said. "She was often withdrawn, uncommunicative and incapable of performing even the most basic tasks required of her job as McCain's running mate."
Wallace said this behavior inspired a character whose confidantes "watched in this troubled state of confusion, despair and helplessness as she flailed around."
"That was something I experienced" with Palin, she said.

Happy Birthday, Billy Bishop!
News Article / February 8, 2017
To see more images, click on the photograph under "Image Gallery".
From Owen Sound Museums and RCAF public affairs
One hundred and twenty-three years ago, Canada's most famed aviation ace was born in the quiet town of Owen Sound, Ontario.
William Avery "Billy" Bishop, born on February 8, 1894, grew up in Owen Sound, attending local schools. In 1911, he enrolled in the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario.
When the First World War broke out in 1914, Bishop joined the cavalry. He began in the Mississauga Horse Unit, transferring later to the 7th Canadian Mounted Rifles. In June 1915, he sailed for Great Britain.
There he transferred to the Royal Flying Corps as an observer. In 1916, Lieutenant Bishop graduated as a pilot, even though he'd managed to crash an aircraft during his training. Due to a shortage of pilots, his mere four hours of flying time was considered adequate and he began hunting Zeppelins whose crews were bombing southern England.
In March 1917, he joined the 60th Squadron in the hot flying zone near Arras, France. Flying a Nieuport 17 Scout plane, he shot down a German pilot, scoring his first kill, and was promoted to flight commander, despite his inexperience. Life expectancy of a pilot at that time was 21 days.
During 1917, he became the most successful pilot in the Royal Flying Corps with 72 confirmed victories. On June 2, 1917, he fought the gallant action for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross: the dawn raid on the German aerodrome at Estourmel. King George V presented Captain Bishop with the VC on August 30, 19717, at Buckingham Palace along with the Distinguished Service Order and a Military Cross that had been awarded but not yet presented. He was only 23 at the time, and was the first Canadian airman to win the Commonwealth's highest decoration for valour.
That same year, Captain Bishop married Margaret Burden, granddaughter of Timothy Eaton of the Eaton Company. They had two children, Margaret and Arthur.
Arthur was to become a spitfire pilot in the Second World War and always said that between them, he and his father shot down 73 German aircraft.
After the war ended, now-Lieutenant-Colonel Bishop returned to Canada a famous hero. There was such an interest in his wartime career that in 1917, he wrote a book entitled Winged Warfare. This was followed by a lecture tour throughout the United States in 1919.
In 1920, Lieutenant-Colonel Bishop and a fellow VC winner, pilot and ace, William Barker, purchased three seaplanes and provided passenger service between Toronto and Muskoka. They were the first certified commercial pilots in Ontario.
The Bishops returned to England in 1921, where he became involved in business, assuming directorships in several firms until losing his fortune in the 1929 stock market crash.
In August 1938, Lieutenant-Colonel Bishop received the honorary rank of air marshal, having been first appointed as an honorary group captain in April 1931. He returned to active service in September 1939 with the rank of air commodore and the Royal Canadian Air Force put him in charge of recruiting – a task at which he was extremely successful – to fill the ranks of students training as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). He even appeared in a Hollywood movie about the BCATP: Captains of the Clouds, starring Jimmy Cagney.
He was also part of the Clayton Knight Committee, which was a scheme to recruit American citizens to train under the BCATP and fly with the Commonwealth air forces, even though the United States was neutral at the time and the recruiting of Americans was illegal.
He was a morale booster, crossing Canada and travelling to England to deliver positive and optimistic messages to thousands of people. By 1944, the war was winding down so he eased up on his public appearances and returned to his position as vice-president of Texaco Oil.
In 1950, Honorary Air Marshal Bishop applied for duty in the Korean War but was turned down. The hectic pace of his life had taken a toll on him and his old energy and enthusiasm was gone. In 1952, he and his wife retired in Palm Beach, Florida, where he died peacefully in his sleep on September 11, 1956, at the age of 62. After a large funeral attended by more than 25,000 people and appropriately arranged by his devoted wife at the Timothy Eaton Memorial Church in Toronto, he was cremated. His ashes are interred in Owen Sound's Greenwood Cemetery.

Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's, or Shrek.
"Hi, everyone!" Meredith smiled, speaking into a microphone and waving to all the loyal readers of this story. "Welcome to Meredith's tequila-induced Karaoke Dance Party! I'm going to take things down a bit, with one of my personal favourites" She walked over and pressed a button on a nearby stereo, then turned to her new husband Derek, who was sitting on a log, and began to sing to him. "Don't go changin', to try and please me. You've never let me down before, Mmm.." The music sped up a little, then Derek began to sing himself, rolling around in the grass.
"I made it through the wilderness!" he sang, while George played DJ and scratched some turntables. "You know I made it through!" George scratched again. "Didn't know how lost I was until I found you.."
"Yeah!" yelled Izzie, grabbing a microphone while Alex danced behind her, waving his huge tail. "I like big butts and I cannot lie! You other sisters can't deny! When a guy walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face you get.." Alex accidently swept Izzie away with his tail, and Mark caught the microphone as it flew throuigh the air.
"Feelings" he sang.
"It's fun to stay at the YMCA!" Addison sang, while the Oceansiders performed the appropriate dance moves behind her. "It's fun to stay at the YMCA.." Addison laughed, tossing the mike to Arizona.
"Do you really want to hurt me?" The peds attending sang, spinning around on her heelys. "Do you really want to make me cry?"
"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" sang Steve and the interns, while Alex stood behind them, holding a microphone up to his stomach so Sydney, languishing inside, could be heard.
"Staying alive, staying alive!" the wannabe Chief Resident panicked.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" the interns echoed. Now it was Doctor Bailey's turn.
"Who let the dogs out?"
"Who, who, who?" sang the Mercy Westers, dancing behind her and providing back-up vocals.
"Who let the dogs out?"
"Who, who, who?"
"Shake it up, and dance to the music!" Izzie called, as the mike was returned to her.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom" sang the interns, snapping their fingers.
"Dance to the music!" the crowd sang. "Dance to the music!"
"All we need is a drummer!" sang George.
"For people who only need a beat, yeah!" added Burke.
"Break it down, dream boy!" cried Izzie as Derek busted out an awesome drum solo. She then turned to Mark. "Doctor McSteamy, my man!"
"I'm gonna ask some bottoms.." Mark sang.
"That all the dancers just won't hide" sang Arizona, skating up beside him.
"Take it, Mer!" Izzie called to her friend, who was playing an organ.
"You might like to hear my organ.."
"I said ride, Sally ride!" sang Izzie. Meredith ditched the organ in favor of a duet with Derek, while George returned to his turntables.
"I can't see me loving nobody but you, for all my life!" The newlyweds sang, hand in hand and staring dreamily into each other's eyes.
"Dance to the music!" everybody sang, performing various dance moves.
"Hey Mer, you ain't dancing yet!" Izzie called.
"Dance to the music!"
"Oh yeah!"
"Dance to the music!"
"That's how I like it!"
"Dance to the music!"
"Everybody now!" Izzie yelled.
"Dance to the music! Dance to the music! Dance to the music! Dance to the music!"
"Hey Alex, would you watch your tail next time babe?" said Izzie when the song finished, causing everyone to laugh.
AN: And there it is! I'll start the sequel soon. It'll be called 'Meredith 2: Adventures in Seattle Grace'

You may remember a few years back not that long after 9/11 a man was arrested for 'quipping' that there was a bomb in his luggage and since then successive arrests and police presence has saw the end to any kind of terrorist-related jokes (or in fact clothing!) within spitting distance of an airport, but not within the wider world. Until now!
Frustrated by the closure of the Doncaster based 'Robin Hood' airport a certain Paul Chambers posted on Twitter: "Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your s**t together, otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!!" He was shortly arrested by police under the Criminal Law act of 1977 (which presumably has something in it about threatening to blow up airports!).
In true fashion (when it comes to terrorist threats) it wasn't just a matter of explaining the frustrated joke, following the arrest ensued six hours of questioning followed by the confiscation of both his PC and his iPhone to check whether or not there was any evidence of any plotting.
However quite possibly the most interesting thing about this story is that Paul's Tweets were in fact private, and although he had a relatively wide following of 769 only that select few could see it — and that includes the Police. So in fact it was a member of the public who, concerned that Paul may have in fact been serious, called up the Police and alerted them to the 'threat'.
Mike Morton, director of Robin Hood airport, said: "The safety of our passengers and staff is of the highest importance to us and we work closely with South Yorkshire police to make sure that any kind of unacceptable behaviour is dealt with immediately. We simply will not tolerate such activity."
But surely this is a bit stupid? Firstly presumably it was someone that knew Paul, however loosely, and I find it amazing that anyone would suspect someone they know of being a terrorist, especially on such little information! Also you'd have thought that it would have just taken 10 minutes of questions, and explanation, and a quick look on his computer to realise that the remarks were not serious?
But apparently not, it would appear that we are a nation still held tightly in the grip of fear that surrounds terrorism, and that at times we are prone to overreact. It would also seem that the internet has lost yet another chunk of its privacy, as this is the first arrest prompted by a tweet. It makes you wonder that if Doncaster were like Darlington in having a resident Twitter Tweeter, would they then be tweeting about this?
The South Yorkshire Police statement put it very succinctly when they said: "We advise members of the public to use such sites appropriately, as they are easily accessible to the public and any inappropriate use could cause unnecessary concern and lead to comments being reported to police."
So next time you tweet, update your status on Facebook or have a good rant on your blog remember that out there, somewhere, someone is watching, and they are probably paranoid!

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. – Steve Jobs, June 12, 2005.
A 200+ mile backpacking experience through Yosemite National Park captured by Colin Delehanty and Sheldon Neill. This project was filmed over the course of 10 months, and spending a combined 45 days in the park capturing the images in this video.

text: Samuel has been the resident cocksucker and butt boy at Next Door Buddies for several scenes now. He's a cute guy with a solid body -- smooth except for the treasure trail rising from his pelvis to his belly button. He's got a beautiful uncut cock and a hot ass. And he's graced with a set of plump, kissable lips, or in this case cocksucker lips. Next Door Buddies features a lot of straight guys getting off with other guys. There's a lot of side-by-side jack off scenes with a couple of guys sitting on a couch and pumping one out. But whenever they can convince the guys to go a little further they can. And Samuel is one of their regular bottom guys. I guess the straight guys don't mind getting their cocks sucked -- even sometimes fucking a guy's ass -- but it's pretty rare when you find a straight guy who is willing to go all of the way with another guy. Here Samuel is down on his knees. He's just spent a considerable amount of time sucking Phenix's big cock. Phenix is a tall, hot, dark-haired guy. He's sporting some chin scruff, his body is hard and smooth, and he's packing a nice-sized wallop between his legs. After Samuel gets him good and excited, he spews a hot, creamy load all over Samuel. If you're into watching guys suck cock, this is a hot scene.

VIDEO: Volley of shots fired over the coffin of Peggy O'Hara in Derry
A video has emerged of a volley of shots being fired over the coffin of Peggy O'Hara in Derry
The incident happened yesterday evening at around 8pm.
A masked gunman emerged before firing a volley of shots above her coffin in the Buncrana Road area of Derry.
Ms O'Hara was the mother of INLA hunger striker Patsy O'Hara who died in 1981 after being on hunger strike for 61 days.
He'd been imprisoned after being convicted of possession of a hand grenade.
The funeral of 84-year-old Ms O'Hara will take place on Saturday.
Foyle DUP MLA Gary Middleton has made a plea for the PSNI to take urgent action after the shots were fired in a public place.
He said: "It's a disgrace that this outrage should have been permitted to take place. I want the police to take action as a matter of urgency.
"I am sure that there are many people in the area who would not be at all happy at this terrorist display involving the firing of weapons close to their homes."

A little back story. I like this girl and for a little while I thought she liked me too. Whenever I wanted to ask her out I felt like she sensed it and she got cold or whatever, I still like her but I understand nothing will come of it. My friend, someone I considered close one day wants to toalk to me, he asks how I feel about her. I tell him I like her but I don't think she likes me back, not in that way anyway. He proceeds to build up my confidence, tells me that she should like me. He then tells me he was hanging out with her and might like her, how would I feel if they dated, I tell him that it would hurt but who am I to stand in his way. "I get it, you're my boy, I won't do that to you, this is more important" he says. He then proceeds to give me tips on how to date her, giving me "hope". I find out a few days later that he is in fact dating her, he lied to me and set me up for failure. Why? To make himself feel better? Now I have to see this guy around, especially with the girl. He acts as though that conversation never happened. I've done my best to avoid him, I've been trying to cut him out but I won't be able to do that without alienating a lot of my other friends as well. It's inevitable that I'll run into this person a lot, especially since we share so many mutual friends. I mean, when I see the girl I'm still nice, I tried to be her friend before and I'm not gonna stop being her friend because she doesn't want to date me. But this guy, my "friend" ruins my day when I see him, I'm just so angry. How do I get over this? I'm visibally miserable, people including the girl ask me what's wrong and I can't tell everyone. How can I act civil around this person? What can I do? Half the time I just want to leave my town just to avoid all this drama, I'm not a dramatic person nor do I ever hold grudges, this is seriously bothering me. Please help, if you have any tips that'll help.
Most Helpful Girl
that is really terrible. sorry you're going through that! can't imagine how that must feel. I think it might be time to start fresh somewhere away from both of them. especially if you have to still see them. the only way to heal is to remove yourself from the situation entirely. I wish you luck.00|00|0

Damn! Kind of remind me of when I went to war with my friend over a girl!! We both did things we aren't proud of to get the girl. Well I take that back, I'm not proud of what I did, and I apologized, not so much for him.
I'd gladly go to war with him again, and this time I'd take off the gloves.
Fight for the girl man!! Your mate showed he's willing to adhere to the rules alls fair in love and war. Play by the same rules. Don't hang around in depression, recollect yourself, and GO TO WAR man!!
Won't mean much, but I hope you get the girl mate.00|00|0

11. If I meet the trial's selection criteria, what happens next?
1. Why is cancer so hard to treat?
The difficulty in treating cancer is that it is not a single disease, but rather a group of diseases. In total there are more than 100 different types of cancers. Cancers are also caused by different things, so no one strategy can prevent them. Likewise, different cancers respond to different treatments so no one treatment can cure them all. Treating cancer is further complicated due to the lifestyle and attitude of patients, the different physiology of people and the rate their bodies will metabolise drugs, the blood supply to the tumour affecting the drug getting into the tumour, the tumour physiology and the fact that the tumour can continue to change.
2. What are GI cancers?
Gastro-Intestinal cancer is a broad term used to encompass all cancers of the Gastro-Intestinal tract (digestive system). This includes cancers of the oesophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and bowel. Following is a brief overview of each cancer:
Oesophageal cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the swallowing tube that passes from the mouth/throat to the stomach. Some risk factors for cancer of the oesophagus are long-term exposure to smoking, heavy alcohol intake and Barrett's oesophagitis.
Gallbladder cancer affects the digestive organ that stores bile (produced in the liver). The gallbladder digests and absorbs fats in the intestines. One risk factor for cancer of the gallbladder is gallstones.
Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumour that develops in the small glandular organ, approximately six inches long, located in the upper abdomen. The pancreas is connected to the small intestine and secretes enzymes and hormones such as insulin and glucagon. It is often called a silent disease because during the early stages of the disease there are very few, if any symptoms.
Stomach cancer is commonly referred to as gastric cancer and can develop in any part of this organ. The symptoms of stomach cancer are not well defined, however, loss of appetite and weight loss are sometimes indicators. Stomach ulcers are not necessarily risk factors for the development of stomach cancer.
Liver cancers generally originate from other areas, such as the colon, breast or lung and have spread to the liver. The liver is the largest glandular organ of the body and performs an important range of functions in the digestive system including detoxification and the storage of vitamins and minerals. Cancers originating in the liver do exist, and are more common in people of Asiatic origin.
Small intestine cancer affects the hose-like portions of the digestive system that winds back and forth within the abdominal cavity (approximately 6.7 meters). The small intestines primary function is to absorb nutrients.
Colon (large intestine) cancer is a malignant tumour that develops from within the inner wall of the large intestine. The colon is the lower part of the hose-like portion of the digestive system, extending from the lower end of the stomach to the rectum. Risk factor for cancer of the colon include heredity, colon polyps, and long standing ulcerative colitis.
Rectal cancer develops as a malignant tumour arising from the inner wall of the end (rectum) of the large intestine. This type of cancer is commonly known as rectal or colo-rectal cancer.
3. What treatments are available?
The three primary treatments for cancer Surgery, Radiation therapy and/or Chemotherapy
In some cases hormone therapy or a biological therapy may be used. The type of treatment recommended will depend on a range of factors including the location of the cancer, the type of cancer, the grade and stage of the disease and the patient's age and general health. In some cases a combination of treatment methods may be used.
Surgery to remove the primary tumour and surrounding tissue is necessary in the treatment of most tumours. The aim of surgery is to remove as much of the tumour as possible. Any remaining cells can be treated using radiation and/or chemotherapy. How much surgery is done depends on how far the cancer has spread and on the patient's general health.
Radiation therapy is treatment with high level radiation to eliminate any remaining cancer cells. The radiation may come from outside the body (external radiation) or from radioactive materials placed directly in or near the tumour (internal radiation or brachytherapy).
Both tumour cells and healthy cells may be affected by radiation. The radiation injures the cancer cells so they can no longer continue to divide or multiply. With each treatment, more of the cells die and the tumour shrinks. The dead cells are broken down, carried away by the blood and excreted by the body. Most of the healthy cells are able to recover from this injury.
The dose of radiation is determined by the size, extent, type and grade of tumour along with its response to radiation therapy. Often, the treatment is given over several different angles in order to deliver the maximum amount of radiation to the tumour and the minimum amount to normal tissues.
Chemotherapy refers to the use of chemicals (natural or synthetic) to destroy infective organisms or cancer cells. Chemotherapy with cytotoxic drugs is the main method of treatment for only a few cancers but it is increasingly used as an adjunct to surgery or radiation.
Cancer care often involves a collaboration of specialists, including medical oncologists (specialising in cancer treatment), surgical oncologists (surgeons specialising in surgically removing cancers), a radiation oncologist (specialising in radiation therapy).
4. What are these treatment side-effects?
Whilst the objective of cancer treatment is to work against cancer, often treatment will also damage healthy cells and tissues, the outcome of which can sometimes result in unpleasant side-effects.
Most side-effects of cancer treatment vary depending on the type of treatment and the extent of the cancer. However, it is important to remember that not everyone experiences the same side-effects, nor are they necessarily severe.
Surgery side-effects in general depend on the part of the body that is being treated, the type of surgical procedure, the patient's general health, and a range of other factors. Just like any operation, patients will be uncomfortable during the first few days after surgery. In most cases post-surgical pain can be controlled with medicine.
Radiation therapy side-effects are determined by the actual dose of radiation and where the tumour is located. Tiredness, skin reactions, loss of appetite, and a decrease in the number of white blood cells are typical side-effects of radiation. Most of these side-effects will only last for a short period of time and can be treated.
Chemotherapy side-effects are dependent upon the type of medication and the dose administered. Chemotherapy affects blood cells, which may in turn, result in side-effects. Blood cells play an important role in fighting infection, helping the blood to clot, and carrying oxygen to different parts of the body. Without a constant and healthy supply of blood cells patients are more likely to develop infections, to bruise or bleed easily, and will often have less energy. Other side-effects of chemotherapy include a loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, hair loss, mouth sores and sometimes affects on fertility. In most cases medicine can help with side-effects and the majority of symptoms will cease once the treatment is discontinued.
5. Who can I talk to who has had cancer?

6. What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials are key to the future of cancer treatment. Carefully controlled clinical trials allow doctors and medical researchers to investigate new drugs in an effort to prevent cancer, reduce the side-effects of current treatments and to improve the quality of life for patients affected by cancer.
Under most circumstances, a clinical trial involves a comparison of a new drug or treatment against the current or standard therapy. The two (or more) regimens under investigation are monitored for both efficacy and safety.
Whist there are certain risks involved in researching novel treatments, clinical trials represent the only true means of accurately measuring the benefits of new therapies. Patients that become involved in clinical trials make an important contribution to medical science and to the broader community.
7. What are the "phases" of clinical trials?
Clinical trials are classified into one of three phases, each phase representing a different step in the testing of a new clinical treatment. Each step allows researchers to ask and answer important questions about the type of treatment and its effectiveness for patients.
Phase I trials determine the most appropriate way to give a new treatment. For example, should it be given by mouth, injected into the blood or injected into the muscle? These studies also evaluate what dose is safe and how often it should be used. A Phase I trial focuses on the safety of a treatment and generally involves only a small number of patients.
A Phase II trial determines how well a new treatment works. These trials test the safety of the treatment at a more advanced level than Phase I trials and evaluate the anti-cancer effect of the treatment.
Phase III trials are studies that compare a new treatment with current standard treatments. For example, a Phase III trial would evaluate whether a new drug is better than a drug that is currently being used to treat patients with the same condition. Similarly, a new surgical procedure may be investigated to determine whether it is better than a surgical procedure that is the general standard of treatment. Phase III trials are only ever initiated if the results of Phase I and II trials show that the new treatment is safe and effective and likely to be as good as, or better than, the standard treatment. Phase III trials involve hundreds of patients, often from around the world.
Randomised control trials are where the treatment that a participant receives is chosen by random allocation (i.e. the decision about which treatment to give which patient is randomly selected, usually by computer). When a patient is 'randomised' it means that they have been randomly selected to receive either a particular treatment or intervention (i.e. a new drug) or placebo – a pill that contains no active ingredient.
8. Why should I get involved in a trial?
Being part of a trial means that you will:
- Be treated by a leading specialist in the field of cancer research.
- Have the potential to access to new drugs and treatment methods that may not otherwise be available to you.
- Have access to a team of medical professionals that will monitor you.
- Be ensured that any treatment-related side-effects are monitored very closely.
- Be involved in making a valuable contribution to cancer research.
When you take part in a clinical trial, you will receive cancer treatment much the same as you would receive treatment in a hospital, cancer clinic or doctor's office. The difference between general treatment and the treatment in a clinical trial is that as a participant of a trial, you may be required to have more tests and clinic visits than you would if you weren't in the study. It is also possible that trial staff may stay in contact with you for a longer period of time once the treatment is complete.
9. What are the risks of doing a trial?
In any kind of research involving humans (such as clinical trials) the health and rights of participants is of primary consideration. To help protect participants from the possible risks involved in clinical trials there are stringent scientific, medical and ethical principles that researchers must adhere to.
These principles form part of an important scientific document referred to as a protocol. Every clinical trial must develop a protocol and this must be approved by a Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). The committee ensures that participants' rights are maintained throughout the study and that the protocol is being followed.
The potential risks of participating in a clinical trial is that you are becoming part of a study that is asking a question to which the answer is unknown. New drugs and treatment methods may have side-effects. The efficacy of new therapies is also unpredictable, and in some cases, may be less effective than standard treatments.
Participants' rights are extremely important in a clinical trial and researchers are required to obtain informed consent from individuals prior to them becoming involved in the trial. The informed consent process requires that researchers inform patients about the key facts of the study, including the type of treatments, other treatment options, how many tests and what sort of tests are required, possible benefits of the study, possible risks and the known side-effects of therapy. All of this information must be provided before a patient decides whether or not to participate in a study. Signed informed consent must be given by every patient prior to commencing a clinical trial, and the rights of the patient continue for the duration of the study.
As a participant you have the right to change your mind and leave the study at any time. Signing a consent form does not mean you must stay in the study. You are free to stop participation at any point during the study, before the study has begun, once you have started or even during the follow-up period.
10. What trials are available?
Please visit the Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trials Group website for a listing of trials.
11. If I meet the trial's selection criteria what happens next?
If after talking to your doctor you decide you wish to participate in a clinical trial then the next step would be to provide your informed consent. This is more than signing a form and will continue throughout the Clinical Trial.
Informed Consent is a process in which you learn the key facts about a Clinical Trial before you decide whether or not to participate. You will learn new facts during the Clinical Trial to help you decide whether or not to continue to participate. Feel free to ask questions of the Research Staff at any time before, during, or after the Clinical Trial.
It is important that you understand the Clinical Trial as fully as you can, including how the Treatments and tests in the study are different from tests and treatments outside of the Clinical Trial. The Research Staff should explain the possible Risks and Benefits of participating in the study and how it will be determined which Treatment Group you will be in.
The information about the Clinical Trial should be given to you verbally (explained aloud) and in writing. You should be given enough opportunities to ask questions and seek advice from people you trust. You are the person who must decide what is enough time to ask questions and get advice from people you trust.
You have the right to ask for this information to be provided to you in a language other than English, if this will help you understand it completely.
There is also a consent form which will look something like this (click to download PDF): Example patient consent form
