It seems crazy now that we've seen him take down celebrities at the Golden Globes, smooch Jennifer Garner and Téa Leoni in Hollywood films and embark on sell-out stand-up tours, but there was a time when Ricky Gervais was being painted as a one-hit wonder.
When The Office debuted on BBC Two in 2001, Gervais was little-known and nobody - not even those behind the show - expected anything of it.
But when the show grew to become a massive hit - the still spectacular final episodes winning coveted slots in the BBC One Christmas schedule - it was all change. Suddenly all eyes were on Gervais and his comedy partner Stephen Merchant and the pressure was on for them to produce a follow-up worthy of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with The Office.
While The Office began life as a mini-pilot cobbled together on a training course, Gervais and Merchant now had the top brass at the BBC breathing down their necks. It would have been so easy for them to crack. Instead they came up with Extras.
Extras: Originally broadcast from July 21, 2005 to December 27, 2007
It seems that by this point Gervais and Merchant had already recognised The Office as an untouchable comedy gem with an enduring legacy, because Extras differed to its predecessor so greatly.
The source of the show's comedy - all awkwardness, all the time - was pretty much the same as The Office, but the mockumentary style went out in favour of a more traditional sitcom look and the crippling realism of Wernham Hogg was replaced by cameos from Hollywood stars (more on those later).
At the time Extras first aired there were a few grumbles that maybe the changes were too drastic. We'll admit it was a bit off-putting to have Gervais playing hopeless background performer Andy Millman, a character who shuffles around pulling faces and begging for just one line of dialogue, when in real life he was being hailed as a modern comedy great.
Andy is less immediately engaging than David Brent as well, though to be fair that's how Gervais and Merchant designed him (and they probably knew like the rest of us they'd never better that career-making character anyway). While Brent pretty much carries The Office, for most of the time in Extras Gervais is the straight man.
Instead, Gervais graciously - and uncharacteristically - gives centre stage to the celebrity guest stars (we promise we'll get to them), as well as Ashley Jensen as Andy's fellow extra/best mate Maggie and Merchant's agent extraordinaire and part-time Carphone Warehouse employee Darren Lamb.
Maggie was very much the heart of Extras - unconditionally kind and completely free of malice, yet constantly getting in trouble due to her naivety, lack of internal censor and ineptitude in social situations. It's also pretty much impossible to dislike Maggie - I've certainly never heard an Extras fan make a single complaint about her. Even on the occasions when she ruins things for Andy with her runaway mouth, you still want to wrap her up in cotton wool. She's a woman-child with frazzled hair and a daft hat, and she barely catches a break the entire series, but Jensen plays her with optimism and a happy-go-lucky attitude that's almost inspiring.
Maggie's completely platonic bond with Andy is also pretty intriguing. There's not a hint of romance between them, but Gervais and Merchant have proved that taking away the 'will they/won't they' factor from a leading pair doesn't make them any less engaging. Sadly, very few producers and writers have taken on board their discovery of in-jokes being just as interesting as almost-kisses.
And as for Merchant, well if The Office was the making of Gervais, then Extras was his time to shine. Having only made a brief - but memorable - cameo in The Office as The Ogg Monster, Merchant was a complete revelation as Andy's beyond-useless agent.
The relationship between Gervais's protagonist and Darren Lamb is one that only exists out of loyalty, as he frequently dismisses Andy as a lost cause due to his weight and appearance, sours negotiations with cringeworthy faux pas and masturbates over pens. Darren has even reduced the once great 'Barry from EastEnders' to his mere man servant - a genius move from Gervais and Merchant that transformed the real-life Shaun Williamson into a kind of cult hero.
It's the celebrity cameos though (told you we'd get to them) that really made Extras something unique. Ben Stiller, Daniel Radcliffe, Samuel L Jackson, Orlando Bloom, Stephen Fry, Chris Martin, Sir Ian McKellen, George Michael and Robert De Niro are just some of the big names who gladly made arses out of themselves for this little BBC sitcom - a mind blowing thought really.
Pretty much every cameo is a hit, but among the more memorable moments are Kate Winslet's now legendary declaration that starring in a Holocaust film will win you an Oscar (apparently proved true when she bagged an award for The Reader in 2009), TV hardman Ross Kemp outing himself as a giant softie living in fear of Vinnie Jones and mocked by the SAS (or Super Army Soldiers) and David Bowie serenading Andy with the song 'Little Fat Man'.
Then there's Ronnie Corbett getting caught taking coke in the BAFTA toilets, Patrick Stewart pitching a movie where he uses his Magneto powers to unclothe women ("But I've seen everything") and, of course, the classic Les Dennis episode that begins with the Family Fortunes star descending into depression after being cheated on by an Amanda Holden stand-in and ends with him pulling out his decades-old Mavis from Corrie during a one-night-stand.
Every single famous face seemed like they were having a whale of a time as well, enjoying the opportunity to subvert their traditional public personas into something different, darker and twisted. Gervais and Merchant specialise in squeezing humour from deeply flawed characters, and the celebrities received no special treatment in that respect.
Extras was not all about poking fun at the stars though. The premise allowed for a rich analysis of celebrity culture - series one dealt with the characters' desperation for fame, while series two saw Andy become disillusioned with stardom as his sitcom When The Whistle Blows got turned into irredeemable trash by meddling producers.
The Christmas special looked at the addictive and corruptive qualities of notoriety, the plot seeing Andy getting too preoccupied with trying to keep his career afloat to realise that Maggie is living in squalor. In the final moments, all the themes covered throughout the series are pulled together into one impassioned essay warning about the dangers of celebrity culture that Andy broadcasts from inside the Celebrity Big Brother house. It's a beautiful moment and makes for a fitting, thought-provoking curtain call.
Since it started off life being Gervais's difficult second album, Extras was always going to be - and will always be - in The Office's shadow. Because of that, it's almost been forgotten about in a strange way. If you haven't seen it before - or haven't seen it in a while - make sure you check it out, if only to experience Kate Winslet's phone sex tips.

The Commonwealth Local Government Symposium for Commonwealth South Asian countries commenced in Colombo today.
Its theme is promoting inter-governmental relations and sharing of good practices on South Asian local government institutions.
Representatives of South Asian countries such as India and Pakistan joined this conference while the Secretary General of the Commonwealth Local Government Forum Carl Rite too participated at this conference.
Participating at the inaugural ceremony Minister of Provincial Councils and Local Government Institutions A.M.L. Athaulla stated that Sri Lanka is an example for other countries as a country which efficiently implements the local government mechanism.
Minister A.M.L. Athaulla stated that the local government system plays a vital role in creating a good way of living by supplying basic facilities for the general public.

Researchers found the mothers of children who repeatedly complained of symptoms were more likely to suffer with depression and anxiety.
Researchers say the findings suggest doctors treating children for recurrent abdominal pain need to consider psychological factors.
The study, by the University of Bristol, is published in Pediatrics.
It is based on the experiences of 10,200 families taking part in the Children of the 90s project.
Psychiatrist Dr Paul Ramchandani and his colleagues found that 55% of six year-olds had complained of pains in their stomach at some time in the past year.
Some 11.8% had stomach ache at least five times in the year.
Girls were more affected than boys.
The children who complained of persistent pain at age six were often the same children who had complained of tummy ache at age two.
When researchers examined these children's psychological assessments they found that they were more than three times as likely to have emotional problems.
Also, their mothers tended to have more symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Common complaint
Recurrent abdominal pain is among the most common complaints of childhood.
It is not usually associated with physical disease, although it is associated with complaints of other physical symptoms such as headache.
Dr Ramchandani said: "For many children the occasional stomach ache is all part of growing up and is usually a symptom of a childhood illness which can be treated normally.
"It is the recurrent stomach ache - which often seems to have no obvious cause - which we were investigating here."
"We need to consider carefully the possible role of parental distress and illness in some of these families.
"The fact that this seems to affect the same group of children across childhood - and may go on into adult life too - highlights how important it is to address these issues early in the child's life."
"The link we have shown between recurrent abdominal pain and emotional symptoms, in children and their parents, supports the view that doctors should be at least considering psychological factors in these cases."
Dr Alastair Forbes, medical director for the digestive disorders charity Core, said: "Well-informed paediatricians and gastroenterologists have always had this in their minds.
"However, the new data are helpful and add more substance to our previous impressions."
Dr Mike Cohen, a GP in Bristol and a member of the steering committee of the Primary Care Society of Gastroenterology, said previous research had suggested children with recurrent abdominal pain grow up to have higher levels of anxiety and depression.
He said: "We see many of these difficult cases regularly in our surgeries and it is vital that we GP's view these patients holistically and from all angles."

Even after a very long hiatus, Derek Zoolander shows he still has what it takes in the fashion world landing a cover on Vogue. Ben Stiller, and leading lady Penélope Cruz stun the magazine in typical over the top fashion.
This movie, although it was not an immediate blockbuster when it came out – has become a cultural icon. With quotes from the movie still making their way into every day conversation, and let's not forget blue steel and magnum which has been our go to Instagram selfie pose since Instagram has been a thing. These photos are far from anything we could do – shot by the legendary Annie Leibovitz they both pay homage to and mock the fashion world all in one shot.
We are glad to see this movie making its comeback after all this time because I guess there isn't more to life than being really, really, really ridiculously good-looking.
Check out the photoshoot below:

Though he claims to be a marijuana lobbyist in favor of legalizing marijuana for the healthful benefit of elderly and seriously ill Americans, his contention that hemp is not pot immediately roused suspicions that he had been smoking North Slope British Colombian Trip Weed.
He found it almost impossible to resist a bag of Nacho Cheese-flavored Doritos and marshmallow Fluff! dip.

Well, the calendar says that it is officially spring. Anyone that reads this blog knows that my garden is the first place I go as soon as the weather warms up. It hasn't warmed up as much as I'd like-but we've had a few really nice days here and there so I've been outside getting my little plot ready.
I cleaned things up and got carrots, spinach and komatsuna seeds in the ground. The Snap Peas are coming along now-they have finally broken through the ground and are getting bigger by the day. You can see them over by the netting. The lettuce is growing nicely and I stuck a green pepper plant in the ground too.
The weeding got done and while I was at it I moved some of the ox-eye daises that had seeded themselves in a spot where I didn't want them to. That spot is reserved for my new tomato beds that I'm going to put in. Soon. As soon as hubby gets me the wood.
I set up a birdbath. A little early I know but I'm excited about getting the garden going.
Gardening helps me a lot. I'll be honest with you-it isn't always easy to live in a foreign country. I miss my family. A lot. I have friends here but culturally, it is different. People don't really open up and they aren't as likely to want to develop deep relationships so everything stays rather superficial. That is hard for someone like me. Gardening, crochet, sewing and now embroidery have helped me to fill the void and at the same time I "produce" something that can be shared with others.
I think that's why I really dislike (anti) social media…it is so superficial…
But, I digress….
Everyone else in the neighborhood is outside participating in the spring season in much the same way. Tractors can be heard humming throughout the fields and across the little valley. I really look forward to rice planting season. When the fields are planted and filled with water the frogs move in and the whole area comes alive at night with the sounds of what seems like a million croaking frogs. As I walked around the town I saw the farmers gearing up, getting the fields ready for the annual rice planting activities.
Just about everywhere I looked gardeners were out weeding and digging and just enjoying being outdoors.
My heart is a bit heavy this spring. Every year since we have moved to Japan I always took my annual trip up to see the kids near Tokyo around this time of the year…but…they left Japan last June and I can't do that anymore.
I had noticed that I felt out of sorts and about two days ago I realized that last year at this time I was enjoying being with my daughter and her family. Actually, I'm crying writing this post. It is really, really hard not having any of the kids or grand-kids around. But that's life. We can't stay near them forever. That isn't reality for most people.
While I do like living in Japan-there are always two sides to the coin. It is a beautiful country with many awesome reasons for wanting to live here. The reality is that living here comes with a price. At times that price can be a little heavy to bear.
But– the sun is shining at the moment. The rains have stopped a bit so I think I'll go pick some lettuce for dinner and rejoice in all the Lord has so graciously provided for all those that I love near and far. Later I'll think some more about my garden planning and perhaps work on an embroidery pattern design that I have in mind for a granddaughter. I was actually thinking of opening an ETSY shop but I'm too busy to make things to sell! Everything I make goes to family and friends!
This post was rather all over the place. That may be the new norm here. Writing like this helps me. The rest of you can come along for the ride.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Snauty, Oct 21, 2013.
Awwww shucks.....
And I have to sit through Canadian SportsCentre highlights. Hockey hockey curling hockey.
Heard today on the radio it's the worst matchup in terms of combined records in 44 yrs on Monday night football
Punt return for td
One play before the end of the quarter
Come on! This is the special teams match up of the ages!
Manning has been HORRIBLE on check downs all year. Dude cannot hit a RB to save his life.
Both these QBs. It's like watching two Nick Foles.
Speaking of special teams, Dewayne Harris isn't on the Pro Bowl ballot in that category. Brian Waters isn't on it for guard either, but Mackenzy Bernadeau is awaiting our votes.
ESPN should be granted to flex some MNF games. Two terrible teams on MNF is a shame.
To be fair, the first half of the Cowboys game was one of the most boring halfs of football I've ever watched, and probably featured the most punts I've ever seen in a half.
Lol Wat
What an ugly throw for that TD. Lets close our eyes, spin around and pray.......
Peyton hills just went low on a defensive lineman engaged on the RT on that TD. It was one of the durtiest blocks I've seen in a long, long time and should have been a flag.
if the defender got his head turned around, he had a great chance of picking that one
Ruben Randle bailed Eli out on that by going over the DB. Otherwise that would have been picked.
In more entertaining news, Old Spice makes the best commercials since the original Budweiser frogs.
If you don't like the game turn it off and stop *****ing.
Your av is IL worthy.

Husband Fight = Nesting Night
So I got in a little tiff with my hubby last night over pretty much nothing. He went to bed being pissy at me. I stayed up and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned... until my back started locking up and telling me I had to stop (about 2 hours into the process). Upside, my kitchen is sparkling and spotless, my daughter's toys are organized, and floors got a nice little wipe down. Downside, after my back told me I had to stop, I still couldn't sleep because I was still mad. I sat in the rocker in the nursery for awhile until I felt like I could finally sleep. I was kind of hoping my cleaning spree would set me into labor... Then this morning, I had to sprint, and I mean SPRINT, after my daughter several times, once to prevent her from running into the street, the other times just around the house to get diaper changed, clothes on and out the door to daycare... feisty girl this morning. I definitely expected my water to break as I was sprinting down our very long driveway after Olivia... it did not.

Data consumption is very different than it was twenty years ago, yet many enterprises still try to meet new requirements by using old concepts and paradigms. While innovation in the space of analytics and machine learning applications has been phenomenal, the underlying data platforms have stayed behind, prohibiting enterprises from truly adopting these advances in efficient ways.
We, the iguazio team have decided to change this. We've built our Unified Data Platform from the ground up, unleashing the full potential of megatrend applications and analytics for big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-native applications. We have developed a new service-driven approach to enterprise data management, redesigning the entire data stack to accelerate performance and bridge the enterprise skill gap.
The Name iguazio
Big data is typically defined as data in high Volume, Velocity and Variety. With our passion for hiking and trekking, we were inspired by the Iguazu waterfalls in South America where the Vs are so visible – The sheer Volume of water, the extreme Velocity of it and the wide Variety of falls and cascades in the area. The magnitude of the Iguazu waterfalls reflects the challenges of dealing with huge amounts of data enterprise, which organizations need to handle and harness nowadays in order to stay competitive.
Iguazu Falls
Meaning: big water | iguazio = iguazu+io | Pronounced: ee-gwa-zee-o
Oh and BTW, it turns out that the Iguazu flows much faster than the Amazon…
iguazio gives back to the community.iguazio believes that as a high-tech startup it has a responsibility to give back to the community.
Since its early days, along with other Israeli startups and venture capital funds, iguazio has allocated options to Tmura – the Israel Public Service Venture Fund. Tmura is a non-profit organization that seeks to increase involvement of the high-tech community in Israeli philanthropic activity, with a focus on giving aid to education and other youth activities.
Tmura has a simple model: early stage technology companies provide Tmura with stock options. Upon a liquidity event, Tmura exercises the options and then sells the shares, donating the proceeds to qualifying charities.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
The anti-aging drug movement is upon us.
News reports out today inform us that Sirtris, a drug based upon the antioxidant resveratrol (found in red wine), will enter human drug trials as soon as next year. Aging – and so-called diseases of aging – is thought to be caused by cellular breakdown. And fundamental to the proper operation of a cell are the mitochondria. These "engines" of our cells are the key to disease prevention and longevity. From the article – which brings out the glamorous "Lance Armstrong has more powerful cells" example, naturally – we learn about the future of aging pharmaceuticals:
"The new molecule is 1,000 times more potent than the wine derivative, resveratrol, and could lead to solutions for diseases of aging, including cancer and diabetes, according to authors of a study in today's issue of the journal Nature.
Researchers tested about 500,000 molecules for abilities to activate the immune-system booster SIRT1, the enzyme credited with resveratrol's ability to extend lifespans 30 to 70 percent in organisms from yeast and worms to flies and mice."
I subscribe to the cellular theory of aging and I absolutely support the prudent use of antioxidant supplements such as resveratrol. So, I suppose it was only a matter of time before Big Pharma got in on the act. (I do find it entertaining that drug companies are quick to undermine the value of any natural therapy until they find it may benefit their bottom lines.)
While I support antioxidant therapy, I'm also in disagreement about the article's assertion – and the common belief – that diseases such as diabetes and cancer are due to aging and not simple lifestyle factors. These aren't diseases of aging, they're diseases of bullsh*t. We have this deeply ingrained belief, it seems, that aging inherently comes with disease and we're all just, well, screwed. Watch drug commercials and it would seem that once we hit 55, all that's left to do is retire, bicker about leftovers with the old ball and chain, and apparently settle in for a few decades of drugs, walkers, pee bags and pain prescriptions. But aging doesn't have to mean – and shouldn't mean – wrinkles, broken hips, weakness, and disease. Far from it. There's no reason you can't be as lean, strong, and energetic at 50, 60, 70, and even 80 as you were at 25. The key is not a drug, but a healthy, preventive lifestyle.
Also today: grapes are evidently the elixir for all that ails. Another news report out today reveals that grapeseed extract is a safe, natural alternative to the harsh preservative chemicals used in grocery store meat (no word on the pouring of blood to keep the meat looking fresh). BHA and BHT have been used for decades to slow down the deterioration of meat. Meat goes bad because the fats oxidize. So it makes sense that a natural antioxidant would do the job of chemicals, and quite naturally to boot. I'm looking forward to manufacturers making the switch. Still, truly fresh, free-range, grass-fed meat is a far cry better than preserved luncheon meats and deli offerings. But I'll pick my battles. 😉

It appears that this maybe one of the first of many attempts by Big Pharma to enter into the Supplement Market, albeit this is more of a small Bio-Med company than a giant.
Nonetheless, it appears that there is recognition that the supplements that many are taking, in addition to a healthy lifestyle, is a lucrative market.
Hence, if you can't beat'em,; join'em!
Interesting. Thanks for the credit.
Is resveratrol in the Master Formula?
Better yet, I'll answer my own question. Yes, 100mg per two-packet dose. Good.
Mark, this reminds me tangentially of stevia…for years it was condemned, and now that Coke, et al are in on the action, suddenly it's fine 😉
to all that I simply say "just eat more veggies and enjoy a chianti while you are at it."
I think they have to market the drug toward diabetes, etc. because the FDA does not consider aging a disease.
Good call on cancer and diabetes being lifestyle diseases and not aging diseases. Too many people think that just because we get old, we must also become decrepit. Since they think it's hopeless to overcome these diseases, they eat what they want and treat their bodies like crap. Course, most of us here know that a natural diet (Paleo, Primal, EvFit, whatever you want to call it) keeps the body purring along in top condition.

I, for one, don't mind getting my Resveratrol the old fashioned way. It's a box of Franzia for me this weekend.
Thank you thank you thank you for saying we don't have to get sick as we get old! "Diseases of aging" IS bullshit; thanks for having the courage to say so.
I drink a daily glass of wine, not just for the antioxidants, but I have heard that daily moderate alcohol consumption seems to make insulin receptors more sensitive.
I'm into making it work for a long time. I'm 71 and don't plan on hitting the rockin' chair any- time soon. I don't take any medications (that horrible pharma stuff), and I don't plan to. (The vegetarian lifestyle will help I know.) But, along with that grape special ingredient, I saw recently that tart cherries hold one of the most powerful anti-aging "chemicals.". Now if I can just find some of those cherries to try it out.
Ironic article considering bht almost definitely works as an antioxidant as well as grapes do. At any rate if eating a grape is what works then why would anyone praise a supplement market for selling something we can add to our diets with no effort? Eat grapes!

Samsung has the moola and courage to try and hold Apple by the balls so that body follows. Bsically they are interested in ther Advertisement campaign through Court cases ... it has certainly increased their sales. As collateral benifit this could also have few patents invalidated which makes it more profitable to fight ...

Google and eBay have been decently friendly to each other over the years despite their competing services. Recently eBay pulled their ads from Google's AdWords program in the U.S. saying that it was part of an experiment "to look at how we market across all media channels." However, there's more to the story than just an experiment.
The likely reason that eBay made this decision is in response to a "Protest Party" that Google scheduled in Boston to promote their Google Checkout program during the same time that the eBay Live Conference was to start. If you're not aware by now, Google Checkout and PayPal are competitors, and in other words, Google decided to start a catfight with their competitor much like what a child would do.
eBay acknowledged that they were disappointed, but never linked the cancellation of ads with the "Checkout Freedom Party." Google was probably just joking around, but eBay took it seriously, and they should. Google ended up cancelling the party saying "eBay Live attendees have plenty of activities to keep them busy this week in Boston, and we did not want to detract from that activity." (Yeah right) "After speaking with officials at eBay, we at Google agreed that it was better for us not to feature this event during the eBay Live conference.
I wonder how Google feels about the prank now that their stream of revenue from eBay has been cut-off? They always say not to bite the hand that feeds you, but apparently Google hasn't heard that cliche' before. Place nice Google! Don't be evil.

1. Don't level rare or super rares in the beginning. The stats are'nt as strong in the higher levels. Level up ultra rares,legendary,and epic armors. These stats can be really good because there combined stats is higher than 1000. 2. Save gems don't spend it on chests ,it isn't as much as it's worth. Spend gems on recovering knights in epic bosses 3. At the last few levels(90-99)of an epic use fusion boost armors.

Iiiiiis dying. Well, that's essentially what people (coughdpcough) have been predicting. Personally, I don't think there's any doubt that this anomaly in his careful scrutinization of the current events will make shit hit the fan. Whatever happens from here on out, there's no doubt he's going to split some ulcers.
Here's where my doubt comes in;
Not only is there the chance that Doflamingo's plan fails, but the possibility that the Gnome's plans failing are high as well. Why? Well, besides the fact that one of the head honchos, Trebol, is guarding Santa-girl, Sugar, meaning that knocking her out will already be difficult, there's also the possibility that Doflamingo finds out what's going on prior to Sugar getting KO'd. In this case, yes, he will be seething, but it's his reaction to this turn of events that I'm curious about. He's supposedly a mastermind, is there something that mastermind brain of his can think of to turn the situation around? You may be saying, "He turned around his resigning from the Shichibukai, he can do this too!" Right? Well, problem with that is even though he managed to pull some strings (that's called a pun, bitches), he had some time to kill back then. This time, it's all happening pretty fast, and stopping it isn't gonna be easy. So how on earth would Doflamingo possibly be able to set things right (for him)? What could possibly stop the Straw Hats and their allies? WHAT?!
2. Kaido
Sure, it's a long shot, but why not?
For CP0, they're probably still there, why not arrest some heathens that've been really kicking shit up? (Remember the Ox Bell? I bet you they're still pissed.)
As for Kaido, this one's obvious. Some guys trying to destroy a factory and eliminate the propagation of smileys. Come on. Whether or not he's currently there in the trading port, though it's not necessarily guaranteed, it's certainly possible. (by him, I mean some of his subordinates. Him actually being there...that would be just so asinine. -_-)
What do you (coughdpcough) think?

Skip to comments.Saudi Prince Calls for Kingdom to Acquire WMDs
Posted on 12/07/2011 1:16:26 PM PST by bananaman22
So much for peace in the Middle East.
On 5 December Prince bin Turki al Faisal, speaking at the The Gulf and the Globe conference in the Saudi capital Riyadh urged the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to become a powerful regional bloc by establishing a unified armed force and defense structure.
While bin Turkis call for the GCC to pool its military resources is nothing new, his idea of supporting Gulf countries acquiring weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) if Israel and Iran do not constrain their nuclear programs represents the edge of a precipitously slippery slope.
Bin Turki told his audience, "Why shouldn't we commence the building of a unified military force, with a clear chain of command. But, if our efforts and the efforts of the world community fail to bring about the dismantling of the Israeli arsenal of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and preventing Iran from acquiring the same, then why shouldn't we at least study seriously all available options, including acquiring WMDs, so that our future generations will not blame us for neglecting any courses of action that will keep looming dangers away from us."
Because Irans nuclear program, which Tehran insists is completely devoted to the generation of civilian nuclear power, is incipient, but subjected to increasing international pressure in the form of increased U.S. and Israeli-led international sanctions. Israel, on the other hand, is a de facto nuclear power, despite Tel Avivs self professed policy of nuclear ambiguity.
The two programs cannot be reconciled, so, taking bin Turkis statements to their logical conclusion, the GCC will eventually move towards a WMD capacity Full article at: Saudi Prince Calls for Kingdom to Acquire WMDs
Get them in time for the Muslim Brotherhood takeover.
We have the coordinates for Mecca.
Behave yourselves, ragheads.
By air express delivery, of course.
They are afraid of Persia (Iran), as they have been for centuries. Saudi intel is quietly supporting the Israelis. It's no accident that the last two Iranian nuclear accidents were so well executed, and thorough in the destruction.
No Jew is going to come up with that kind of inside poo on facilities like that.
With the Iranian nuke imminent, the Saudi one can't be too far behind. And of course Turki's going to couch his statements as if they're in terms of Israel - to appease the kingdom's clerics. In reality, the Saudi royal family knows Israel's armaments are completely defensive; the Jews will bever be invading Arabia. Iran on the other hand has a history of agression against Arab nations - they're the real threat.

greyhound00 Review
The set arrived well packed and undamaged, with no hardware missing. It was packaged in one very heavy box. The UPS guys were nice enough to put the box inside for me, as I was there to meet them. Assembly wasn't too difficult, even for a single person; it helped to have a large, empty carpeted area to set all the pieces out (I guess it's fortunate that I still don't have a dining room table). I took my time, because the instructions are better than many I've seen, but still could be confusing if you try to rush. I used a power drill with a long phillips head bit to attach the seat, and it was easy. I can't imagine trying to get those wood screws into the seat with a regular screwdriver. The end result feels like a solid piece of furniture. The chairs are larger than I expected and comfortable. They are a comfortable height, and don't feel at all rickety. The table is heavy. My one caveat is that the dark finish of the piece left marks on my counter and floor that were difficult to remove, so watch out for scraping the set against anything light colored. I've only used it once, but I love the fact that I can now sit high enough to look out my breakfast room windows.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Good match.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very good. A solid and heavy set.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate.

One Company Three Partners
Bonacare is located in Seoul, South Korea but is partners with three different leading healthcare staffing agencies in the United States. We work together to find what is best for the clients.
Korean Healthcare | A Mirror of America
Since 1989 the South Korea has undergone massive investment in its health care infrastructure resulting in the creation of a modern advanced network of hospitals and clinics staffed by highly trained physicians and nurses. According to the World Health Organization, the results of this initiative have raised life expectancy rates and health care availability to the same standards as the United States. The South Korea has a large health care network consisting of:
- 850 Hospitals
- 19,000 Clinics
- 70,000 physicians
- 180,000 registered nurses
With significant numbers of Korean healthcare professionals educated in the United States, the Korean health care system has evolved to be on par with the quality of care provided in the United States in terms of technology, skilled professionals, and medical practices.
Nursing Education
Korea maintains more than 100 nursing schools to train and educate Registered Nurses and students wishing to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Each year more than 10,000 new nurses graduate from these institutions. Every nursing institution in Korea has an affiliation with a nursing college in the United States and nearly every professor has received an advanced degree from an American institution.
With the heavy American influence on Korean nursing education, a recent study by the University of Iowa found that decision-making for interventional choices among Korean and American nurses were virtually the same. This means that Korean nurses are uniquely qualified to work in American health care environments and will require little additional training beyond the typical new hire orientation and training programs.
Medical Technologies
Korean hospitals use many of the same technologies as are found in the United States. In fact, over 50% of medical devices are imported from the Untied States or Japan. Additionally, many products by General Electric, Siemens and Hitachi are produced under license by Korean firms for use in domestic health care facilities.
English Proficiency
Korean healthcare is conducted mostly in English. In addition, every educated professional in Korea has the ability to speak, read, and write English at a high level of proficiency. The Korean government has mandated that all signs and official documents be produced in both Korean and English. Koreans are exposed to English at the elementary school level, and by the time professional education is completed, their English skills are generally superb.

I'm trying to load a js file dynamically when a page load. Below i given the code what i'm using.
var script = document.createElement('script'); script.type = 'text/javascript'; script.src = '../../Scripts/ChatMessage.js'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script); //alert('');
HEre the problem is the script file is not loading. After the alert message (which i commented on above code )it is working fine. I tried to given wait time more than 10 second even though its not loading.
But after giving the alert box, its working.
Can anybody say the reason why its happening like this.
Thanks,S. Ramkumar
Where in the page do you have the script?
In order for that script to work the head element must have already fully loaded and so that code will work if placed anywhere in the body of the page but will fail if you try to run it directly in the head.
You do then need to wait for long enough after requesting to load the script for it to actually load before you can run anything in it so the best place to put whatever you want to run using the script that you are loading is inside of that file. If you can't do that then you need to set up a loop to test for something created at the end of that file existing before you try to run anything.
Is the script inside the HEAD of your page? Could you be trying to add the script to an element which hasn't yet been closed? If so, it probably can't be referenced via the DOM. I suspect the HEAD is still loading while the ALERT is sat on the screen, so it gives it the delay it needs to complete.
Here's some JS I used to add jQuery to a page if it didn't exist before running another script which relied on it being loaded. It keeps checking (after a slight delay) for jQuery to be defined before continuing.
// Add jQuery
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') {
var FB_JQ = document.createElement('script');
FB_JQ.src = '/core/js/jquery.js';
FB_JQ.type = 'text/javascript';
// Check if jQuery's loaded
function FB_wait() {
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') {
// If jQuery is loaded
else {
// Make sure body is loaded
jQuery('document').ready(function () {
var t=setTimeout("FB_addBadge()",3000);
Hope it helps!
Thanks to you all for the response.
my problem solved. I given time delay and i moved the code below after adding script dynamically to separate function and i called that method using "setTimeOut(fnName(),100);
Its works.
Thanks again to you all.

Mandela buried in ancestral homeland
South Africa's first black president,
A 21-gun salute and full military honour guard escorted Mr Mandela's coffin to a marquee where 4500 mourners said their final goodbyes.
His flag-draped casket was placed on cow skins, surrounded by 95 candles – each signifying a year of his extraordinary life.
"The person who lies here is South Africa's greatest son," said African National Congress deputy president
Mr Mandela's widow, Graca Machel, who was seldom far from his bedside during his final months, looked on disconsolate, along with his former wife
The frail and ageing leaders of South Africa's anti-apartheid struggle also attended: George Bizos,
"I first met him 67 years ago," said Mr Kathrada, who along with Mr Mandela was sentenced to life in prison in 1963.
He recalled his fellow inmate as a powerful amateur boxer who could cope far better than others with the physical challenge of hard labour.
"What I saw in hospital was a man helpless and reduced to a shadow of himself," he said, struggling not to break down.
"We can salute you as a fighter for freedom. Farewell my dear brother, my mentor, my leader.
"Now I've lost a brother my life is in a void and I don't know who turn to."
His words left many in tears among the invited guests, whose ranks included foreign dignitaries and celebrities ranging from Britain's Prince Charles to US talk show queen
Mr Mandela will be buried with traditional Xhosa rites in a graveyard that sits on the sprawling family estate Mr Mandela built in Qunu after his release from prison in 1990.
"It was in that village that I spent some of the happiest years of my boyhood and whence I trace my earliest memories," he wrote in his autobiography.
Overseen by male members of his clan, the burial will include the slaughter of an ox – a ritual performed through various milestones of a person's life under the clan's traditions.
World's most respected figure
The funeral closes the final chapter on a towering public figure whose courage and moral fortitude turned him into a global symbol of freedom and hope.
During 10 days of mourning, hundreds of thousands of South Africans had turned out across the country to bid the founding father of their "Rainbow Nation" farewell.
They braved a rain-sodden memorial in Soweto and for three days queued to see his remains as they lay in state at Pretoria's Union Buildings.
Lines of mourners enveloped a city that was once the bastion of white rule.
For 50 million compatriots, Mr Mandela was not just a president, but a moral guide who led them away from internecine racial conflict.
For the rest of the world he was a charismatic leader of the anti-apartheid struggle – in turn a poet, saint and scholar.
"Ever since he passed away, I wanted to walk the journey with him," said Pascal Moloi, who made the trip from Johannesburg to Qunu to attend a public viewing.
While Mr Mandela had been critically ill for months, the announcement of his death on December 5 still sent a spasm through a country struggling to carry forward his vision of a harmonious multiracial democracy of shared prosperity.
During the funeral South African President
"One thing we can assure you of today Tata (father), as you take your final steps, is that South Africa will continue to rise. South Africa will continue to rise because we dare not fail you," Mr Zuma said.
For the rest of the world, Mr Mandela's death marked the loss of that rarest of world leaders: those who are viewed with near universal respect and admiration.
Gushing tributes poured in from every corner of the globe, although Mr Mandela himself had always stressed he was part of a communal leadership and resisted any move towards his public canonisation – posthumous or otherwise.

Rutherford's ModelIn 1910, Rutherford carried out the experiment in which a thin sheet of gold foil was bombarded with a beam of α-particles. The results of the experiment were as follows:
- Most of the α -particles passed straight through the gold foil
- A few α-particles were deflected from the straight-line path
- A very small number of the α -particles (about 1 in 20,000) were deflected backwards through an angle greater than 90o
Around this nucleus there was a diffuse region containing electrons to maintain electrical neutrality to the atom. From the experiment, it was concluded that
Approximate radii of the nuclei of atoms
≈10-14 - 10-15 m
Approximate radii of outer hollow sphere containing electrons
≈10-10 m
On this basis, it has been calculated that less than 10-12 of the total volume of an atom is occupied by its nucleus.
Limitations of Rutherford's Model
In the Rutherford model of an atom, there exists a positively charged nucleus at the centre and it is surrounded by negatively charged electrons which move in definite paths, called orbits. Most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus.
Now according to the Maxwell theory of electromagnetic radiation, charged particles when accelerated should lose energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. In the Rutherford model, negatively charged electrons move in orbits around the positively charged nucleus. In order to maintain the circular motion of an electron in orbit, the electron is subjected to acceleration. Thus, according to the Maxwell theory the electron should continuously lose energy and finally spiral into the nucleus with the subsequent collapse of the atom. Calculations show that the electron would require only 10-8 s to do so. Hence, such an arrangement of the nucleus and electrons will not yield a stable atom.
Besides the above difficulty, the Rutherford model could not explain the discrete spectra exhibited by atoms. By discrete spectra, we mean that an atom on excitation liberates characteristic radiations of fixed wavelengths. For example, high-voltage electrical discharge through sodium yields two yellow radiations of wavelengths 589.16 nm and 589.76 nm, respectively. Similarly, other gases exhibit characteristic wavelengths.
In 1885, Balmer analyzed the spectra of hydrogen and predicted that the observed lines in the visible and near ultraviolet spectrum could be expressed as
where n1 has a fixed value of 2, whereas n2 has integral values greater than 2, i.e. 3, 4, 5...

Generic Name: metreleptin (MET-re-LEP-tin)
Brand Name: Myalept
Some people who use metreleptin make antibodies in their blood. These antibodies may decrease how well a substance (leptin) in your body works or how well metreleptin works. Side effects may also happen. These could include infection, problems with blood sugar (eg, diabetes), and an increase in how much fat is in your blood (triglycerides). Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of high blood sugar (eg, increased thirst, hunger, or urination; confusion; drowsiness; flushing; rapid breathing; fruit-like breath odor) or an infection (eg, fever, chills, sore throat).
A certain type of blood cancer (T-cell lymphoma) has happened in people with this condition. This has happened in people both treated and not treated with metreleptin. Tell your doctor if you have ever had any immune system or bone marrow problems. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
You can only get metreleptin through a special program called the Myalept Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program. Make sure you understand all warnings and instructions for using metreleptin. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about this program or the use of metreleptin.
Metreleptin is used for:
Treating problems caused by not having enough of a certain hormone (leptin) in your body. It is only approved for use in people with congenital or acquired generalized lipodystrophy. It is used along with a certain diet.
Metreleptin is a leptin analog. It works by replacing leptin in patients who do not have enough in their body. Leptin regulates food intake and body weight.
Do NOT use metreleptin if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in metreleptin
- you are treating a condition not caused by not having enough leptin in your body
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using metreleptin:
Some medical conditions may interact with metreleptin. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have high blood triglyceride levels
- if you have a history of pancreatitis, bone marrow problems (eg, low blood cell counts, lymphoma), immune system problems (eg, an autoimmune disease), or swollen glands
- if you are taking cyclosporine, theophylline, or warfarin
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with metreleptin. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Insulin, sulfonylureas (eg, glipizide), or other medicines that can lower blood sugar because the risk of low blood sugar may be increased
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if metreleptin may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use metreleptin:
Use metreleptin as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Metreleptin comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get metreleptin refilled.
- Metreleptin is usually given as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. If you will be using metreleptin at home, a health care provider will teach you how to use it. Be sure you understand how to use metreleptin. Follow the procedures you are taught when you use a dose. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions.
- Metreleptin will need to be mixed before giving it. A few fluids can be used to mix metreleptin. Be sure you know which fluid to use, how long the product is good after mixing it, and how to store it after mixing.
- Use the proper technique taught to you by your doctor. Inject deep under the skin, NOT into muscle or a vein.
- Inject into the stomach, thigh, or upper arm.
- Rotate injection sites with each dose of metreleptin. This will help to decrease the risk of skin damage at the injection site.
- Metreleptin can be given at any time of the day, with or without food. Use metreleptin at the same time each day.
- Do not mix metreleptin with insulin. Use a different syringe for each medicine.
- Do not use metreleptin if it contains particles, is cloudy or discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged.
- Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and away from pets. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Ask your health care provider how to dispose of these materials after use. Follow all local rules for disposal.
- If you miss a dose of metreleptin, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use metreleptin.
Important safety information:
- Follow the diet program given to you by your health care provider.
- Do not suddenly stop using metreleptin without checking with your doctor. You may have an increased risk of pancreatitis and very high blood triglycerides. If you need to stop metreleptin, your doctor may need to gradually lower your dose and watch you closely.
- People who have had an autoimmune disease may have worsening of their symptoms. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- Some fluids used to mix metreleptin contain benzyl alcohol. Do not use products with benzyl alcohol in NEWBORNS or INFANTS. It may cause serious and sometimes fatal side effects. If you have questions, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
- Diabetes patients - The risk of low blood sugar levels may be increased if you take metreleptin with insulin or other medicines that lower blood sugar. Low blood sugar may make you anxious, sweaty, weak, dizzy, drowsy, or faint. It may also make your heart beat faster; make your vision change; give you a headache, chills, or tremors; or make you more hungry. It is a good idea to carry a reliable source of glucose (eg, tablets or gel) to treat low blood sugar. If this is not available, you should eat or drink a quick source of sugar like table sugar, honey, candy, orange juice, or nondiet soda. This will raise your blood sugar level quickly. Tell your doctor right away if this happens. To prevent low blood sugar, eat meals at the same time each day and do not skip meals.
- Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.
- LAB TESTS may be performed while you use metreleptin. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using metreleptin while you are pregnant. It is not known if this medicine is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking metreleptin.
Possible side effects of metreleptin:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Headache; stomach pain; weight loss.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing or swallowing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, throat, or tongue; fainting; severe dizziness; fast heartbeat); burning, numbness, or tingling; severe or persistent stomach pain; symptoms of low blood sugar (eg, increased sweating, weakness, tremors, dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, headache, chills, fast heartbeat, vision changes, increased hunger); unusual tiredness or weakness.
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.
If OVERDOSE is suspected:
Contact 1-800-222-1222 (the American Association of Poison Control Centers), your local poison control center, or emergency room immediately.Proper storage of metreleptin:
Before preparing for use, store metreleptin in the refrigerator between 36 and 46 degrees F (2 and 8 degrees C). Do not freeze. Protect from light by storing unused vials in the carton. Once mixed, be sure you know how long the product is good for. Keep metreleptin out of the reach of children and away from pets.
General information:
- If you have any questions about metreleptin, please talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider.
- Metreleptin is to be used only by the patient for whom it is prescribed. Do not share it with other people.

LITERARY LOCATION: Boardwalk, Bamfield, Vancouver Island
"Almost to the person, tourists, when asked, would identify the boardwalk as their favoured impression of Bamfield," says Louis Druehl. "The iconic structure has served Bamfield since before the road [was opened]." In Louis Druehl's novel about the town of Bamfield called Cedar, Salmon and Weed, the boardwalk is a focal point for much of action. The central character notes that everyone in the community can be viewed there: "henpecked husbands sneaking a drink from a bottle hidden in the brush, loiterers fighting for sunny spots or dry spots, not-so-discreet meetings between lovers. And on the inlet, there were the callouts from the lifesaving stationsometimes with bodybags. And the return of frustrated or happy or drunk fishermen after a day or week of fishing. And tourists in their fancy yachts, martini glasses at hand, pointing at the weird villagers, and seeking anchorage or fuel."
ENTRY: Those who have braved the 60-mile gravel road from Port Alberni to Bamfield can easily agree with Simon Winchester's assessment of Bamfield in the New York Times as a tight-knit town full of hidden intrigues and eccentrics..."the perfect subject for a novel."
Modelled on John Steinbeck's classic Cannery Row, Louis Druehl's debut novel Cedar, Salmon and Weed (Granville Island 2015) describes Bamfield on the west coast of Vancouver Island in the 1970s through the eyes of a well-intentioned local known as Gaz, a builder, marine biologist and marijuana cultivator who dreams of building a cedar palace. He's a hard-working guy who falls hard for Heidi, a visiting student at the local marine research station. Along the way the reader is introduced to an endearing and believable mix of fishermen, hippies, First Nations and the scientists. It's the Great Bamfield Novel by someone who knows the town's manners and history.
It's a world where men routinely piss on the smouldering embers of a fire and people can tell you the difference between a native oyster and the introduced Japanese oyster. Where a mind-blowing psilocybin and mozzarella omelette is common breakfast fare. Where Indians might still prefer to call themselves Indians. Back in the Seventies...
"Bamfield is many worlds," writes Druehl. "Some say a world for each inhabitant, each end-of-the-roader. The world of the lonely fisherman facing monstrous payments on his boat, staring at the trolling wires dragging dozens of hooks, imagining a school of salmon--his ticket out of hell--ready to strike. The ancient schoolmarm shepherding twelve kids, ages six to eighteen, into the amazing world of out there, while her sailor lover lies on the bottom of the Atlantic. The aging lesbians, who bake and take in laundry, who pretend to be what they are not, livinig in fear of being discovered for what they are. The drunks, the wife-beaters, the cheats, the boisterous, the insecure, and the dull, they all have their little worlds, their dirty secrets and great sorrows, and occasional joys."
Louis Druehl's book Pacific Seaweeds (Harbour 2001, 2016) is the authoritative guide to over 200 common species of seaweeds in the Pacific Northwest, ranging from the coastline of southeast Alaska to central California. Co-written with Bridgette Clarkston of Comoix, Pacific Seaweeds: A Guide to Common Seaweeds of the West Coast, Updated and Expanded Edition (Harbour $28.95) received an honourable mention in the Nature Guidebooks category of the 2016 National Outdoor Book Awards.
Also editor of The New Bamfielder, Louis Druehl was a professor of marine botany at Simon Fraser University for thirty years. He has also taught field-oriented seaweed courses at the Friday Harbor Marine Laboratories and was influential in establishing the Bamfield Marine Station, often working in association with the University of Alaska. His research focuses on all aspects of kelp, including its evolution, ecology and physiology.
Druehl and his wife Rae operate Canadian Kelp Resources Ltd., a company that produces sea vegetables (Barkley Sound Kelp) and operates a kelp farm. He has a kelp genus and species named after him.

from BCBW (Autumn 2016)
Forget kale.
Yes, gourmands, its time to embrace a new trendsea vegetables. Specifically kelp. And who better to give you kelp-help than a man who has had a genus of kelp named after him?
Marine botanist Louis Druehl, who lives south of Long Beach at Bamfield, has revised and expanded his guide, Pacific Seaweeds (Harbour $28.95), co-written with Bridgette E. Clarkston, as the authoritative guide to over 100 common species of seaweeds in the Pacific Northwest. So we asked Louis for his Top Ten Things You Dont Know About Kelp. This way, when you chow down on sea vegetables at a high-end restaurant, you can be more knowledgeable than the waiter.
Louis Druehl and his wife rae operate
Canadian Kelp Resources Ltd., a company that produces a line of sea vegetables (Barkley Sound Kelp). A kelp genus called Druehlii was named after him, but when an older name resurfaced, the accreditation had to be dropped. Subsequently a kelp species restricted to Haida Gwaii was named Saccharina druehlii. The Japanese have long eaten kelp.
Restaurants in B.C. that serve sea vegetables include Tojos Japanese Restaurant, Wickinninish Inn and The Wolf in the Fog featuring Bamfield Seaweed Salad. The Tofino Brewey makes Kelp Stout.

Top Ten Things You Dont Know About Kelp
1. The female kelp produces a perfume that attracts the sperm. This substance smells like gin.
2. Kelp is the source of umami, a flavour enhancer. The new scientific discipline of gastrophysics was partly started to understand savory taste, one of the five basic tastes (including sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness).
3. The brown pigment of kelp, fucoxanthin, is a strong antioxidant.
4. The slime of kelp, fucoidan, is thought to hold off the diseases associated with aging (hypertension, diabetes, stroke, etc.).
5. Iodine, as an element, was first discovered in kelp. The concentration of iodine in kelp is up to 20,000 greater than in seawater.
6. The San Francisco Philharmonic featured kelp horns on one occasion.
7. In case of nuclear war or meltdown of a nuclear plant, eat some kelp and load up your thyroid gland with the good cold stuff and not the radioactive iodine that can be lethal.
8. Kelp are not plants or animals but plantamials. They are sessile and photosynthetic but when it comes to microscopic structure, egg and sperm sex and not pollen and stigma sex, they are animals.
9. Kelp is considered an excellent source of biofuel. It can be easily grown, does not compete with corn and the like for valuable agricultural land. I call the potential alcohol derived from kelp, kelpanol.
10. Kelp brownies are substituted for dope confections by matured hippies.

Many call Foobar an audio player, but that really doesn't do it justice. In truth it is so much more than that. Although, it can be said that programs such as iTunes are more than audio players. However, do not be mistaken, this is no iTunes.
On with the review. Firstly, the first thing that impressed me with Foobar2000 is that upon installation, you are left with a couple of options. The first is a standard installation of the application; whereas the other, the portable version which allows you to run it on the move from your pen drive, much like the apps mentioned in the review of PortableApps.
Personally, I chose the standard installation as this was what I required. Upon loading the program for the first time, you are faced with a menu allowing you to change the basic layout of foobar. This is useful as it allows you to customise the display to show such panels as visualisers, playlists and also the colour scheme of the entire program. I liked this feature as it means you can almost make the program your own from the start.
Thus far, I was very impressed. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. In terms of functionality it is second to none in my opinion. The open-source software handles many audio formats including the usual .mp3 as well as lossless music formats such as .flac which incidentally was the reason I downloaded this application in the first place. Not only can it play them seamlessly, it also allows for fast and effective conversion with no loss of quality. It is extremely easy to execute, simply highlight the target tracks, right click and select convert.
You can convert the tracks to almost any format. Personally, I converted them to .wav which was annoying as I lost all the ID3 tags, however the transition was smooth and I converted a 320mb .flac album to .wav in just a minute or two. I was extremely impressed by this.
There is a preset menu of formats you can convert to, however, any users that also possess LAME MP3 encoder, can create their own profiles to convert to with a little extra modification, which is ultimately quite simple.
In terms of playback, Foobar is unrivalled. It allows you to modify the track until it is indistinguishable from the original. Featuring equalizers as well as preset profiles which can add all the usual effects such as extra bass, treble etc. you know the score.
Other features include CD ripping which is as fast as any other program and can do so to a high quality lossless format as well as any compressed format you would like. You can also organise media libraries and networking which just complete this magnificent all round audio manager.
Overall I give the Foobar2000 audio player 9 out of 10. The only reason I don't give it 10, is due to the lack of aesthetics which personally, I can live without because I use it for ripping and conversion above anything else so I do not need an application with the graphical appeal of say, iTunes.

The Liquid Sunshine MKIII is different from most other overdrives. It uses cascaded JFETs for gain rather than the typical opamp/diode design. Overdriven JFETs do not produce harsh clipping like diodes and are known to have some similarities to vacuum tubes.
The Volume and Overdrive knobs are fairly self explanatory; the Emphasis knob is similar to a tone control but is located between gain stages rather than after them. At low gain settings, this can add a treble boost. The MKIII also has two internal switches: one for boosting/cutting low frequencies at the output (useful if driving an already dirty amplifier); one for boosting/cutting high frequencies at the output (useful if you are using an amplifier with darker speakers)…
The Subdecay Liquid Sunshine MKIII was designed with tube amp players in mind. This is an overdrive in its truest form—capable of great overdrive tone on its own or for pushing your amp even harder. It is not meant to make your amp sound like something it's not.
