text: World 14 January 2013 Grant Shapps should give Obama his campaign line back The Conservative chairman borrows Obama's "don't give them the keys back" line. But it's his party that crashed the car again. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML It's well known that most Conservative cabinet ministers supported Barack Obama's re-election and in an interview in today's Independent, Tory chairman Grant Shapps borrows one of the US president's favourite campaign lines. Shapps tells the paper: "We are in a global race. Britain is on the right track, don't go back. Don't give the keys to the guys who crashed the car in the first place. Do you want to go through all this pain again?" Obama told a Democratic fundraiser in May 2010: "So after they drove the car into the ditch, made it as difficult as possible for us to pull it back, now they want the keys back. No! You can't drive! We don't want to have to go back into the ditch! We just got the car out! We just got the car out!" He used the analogy again at a labour day rally in Milwaukee in September of that year. It's a good line, but unfortunately for Shapps it's not one the Conservatives have any right to use. While the US economy enjoyed a sustained recovery under Obama (with 13 consecutive quarters of growth), the UK fell into a double-dip recession (and is at risk of a triple-dip). To adapt Obama's analogy, the Tories didn't drive the car out of the ditch; they drove it back in (you could call it a double-ditch recession). When Labour left office, the economy was recovering, with growth of 0.4 per cent in Q3 of 2009, 0.4 per cent in Q4, 0.6 per cent in Q1 of 2010 and 0.7 per cent in Q2 (see this table for the full data). Since then, it has stagnated. Over the last year, the US economy has grown by 2.3 per cent, while the UK hasn't grown at all. As a result, while the US economy is now 2.3 per cent above its pre-recession peak, the UK remains 3.1 per cent below. If and when Shapps's party boasts a comparable record, he might be entitled to borrow Obama's line. But until then, he should gracefully return it to its original owner. › Savile: Denialism and the "grooming the nation" delusion Conservative chairman Grant Shapps speaks at the party's conference in Birmingham last year.

Update: NASA, James Hansen, and the Politicization of Science

GISS's James Hansen
(Source: NASA)
New issues swirl around controversial NASA branch
NASA's primary climate monitoring agency is the Goddard Institute of Space Studies. Operating out of a small office at Columbia University, GISS is run by Dr. James Hansen. Official NASA climate statements come through GISS ... which means they must get by Hansen. Many other scientists and agencies make climate predictions, but Hansen's top the list for scare factor, predicting consequences considerably more dire than his colleagues.
Hansen specializes in climate "modeling" -- attempting to predict future events based on computer simulations. In 1971, Hansen wrote his first climate model, which showed the world was about to experience severe global cooling. NASA colleagues used it to warn the world that immediate action was needed to prevent catastrophe.
Most research papers are rather dry reading, written to be as unemotional as possible. Not so with Hansen's reports, whose works scream alarmism even in their titles: "Climate Catastrophe," "Can We Defuse the Global Warming Time Bomb," and "The Threat to the Planet." Hansen was most recently
in the news
when an amateur blogger discovered an error in his climate data, a mistake Hansen later discounted as unimportant to the "big picture" of compelling public action on climate change.
But who is James Hansen? Is he an impartial researcher seeking scientific truth? Or a political activist with an axe to grind?
In 2006,
Hansen accused the Bush Administration of attempting to censor him
. The issue stemmed from an email sent by a 23-year old NASA public affairs intern. It warned Hansen over repeated violations of NASA's official press policy, which requires the agency be notified prior to interviews. Hansen claimed he was being "silenced," despite delivering over 1,400 interviews in recent years, including 15 the very month he made the claim. While he admits to violating the NASA press policy, Hansen states he had a "constitutional right" to grant interviews. Hansen then began a barrage of public appearances on TV, radio and in lecture halls decrying the politicization of climate science.
Turns out he was right. Science
being politicized. By him.
revealed just this week, shows the 'Open Society Institute' funded Hansen to the tune of $720,000, carefully orchestrating his entire media campaign. OSI, a political group which spent $74 million in 2006 to "shape public policy," is funded by billionaire George Soros, the largest backer of Kerry's 2004 Presidential Campaign. Soros, who once declared that "removing Bush from office was the "central focus" of his life, has also given tens of millions of dollars to MoveOn.Org and other political action groups.
Certainly Soros has a right to spend his own money. But NASA officials have a responsibility to accurate, unbiased, nonpartisan science. For Hansen to secretly receive a large check from Soros, then begin making unsubstantiated claims about administrative influence on climate science is more than suspicious -- it's a clear conflict of interest.
But the issues don't stop here. Hansen received an earlier $250,000 grant from the Heinz Foundation, an organization run by Kerry's wife, which he followed by publicly endorsing Kerry. Hansen also acted as a paid consultant to Gore during the making of his global-warming film, "An Inconvenient Truth," and even personally promoted the film during an NYC event.
After the the GISS data error was revealed, Hansen finally agreed to make public the method he uses to generate "official" temperature records from the actual readings. That process has been revealed to be thousands of lines of source code, containing hundreds of arbitrary "bias" adjustments to individual sites, tossing out many readings entirely, and raising (or lowering) the actual values for others, sometimes by several degrees. Many areas with weak or no rising temperature trends are therefore given, after adjustment, a much sharper trend. A full audit of the Hansen code is currently underway, but it seems clear that Hansen has more explaining to do.
George Deutsch, the NASA intern who resigned over the censorship fallout, said he was initially warned about Hansen when starting the job, "People said ... you gotta watch that guy. He is a loose cannon; he is kind of crazy. He is difficult to work with; he is an alarmist; he exaggerates.'"
Hansen's office did not return a request from
for an interview for this article.
Update: Hansen has denied receiving direct funding from OSI. Investors Business Daily is standing behind the story, claiming the funding first passed through the Government Accountability Project, which then used it to package Hansen for the media

Editor's note: A version of this article originally ran in the March 2013 issue of Skin Inc. magazine. All rights reserved.
Like a twist of lemon in your iced tea, spring is the season for consumers to renew and refresh their looks. "It's time to open up to the possibilities, to express yourself in a new way," says celebrity makeup artist Emily Katz. As clothes lighten up in texture and tone, so do lips, eyes and cheeks. Clean, bare skin will be an important focus this spring, with light and bright pops of color to bring attention to one feature, such as the eyes or lips.
The spring palette from Pantone mixes dynamic brights with novel neutrals to create a harmonious balance. This allows for unique combinations that offer practicality and versatility, but at the same time, demand attention.
"It's almost as if fall's deep, rich colors have been left outside to be bleached by the sun," says KJ Bennett, celebrity makeup artist. "It's a nice progression into summer—very beachy, light, crisp and clean." The palette flips from the usually smoldering Miami summer to the cool side. "It's a nice contrast, colors that are saturated but not heavy," Bennett continues. "They have depth, and are refined and sophisticated."
The softer, muted and pretty color choices also allow consumers to focus on soft natural beauty, according to makeup artist Rachel Wood. "Real beauty is back," she says.
Fall featured heavily made-up skin that was lush, dramatic and beautiful. "We're switching it up for spring with a very clean face," says Bennett. The look is nude and natural, featuring minimal lip color and little-to-no foundation, with an option for color-blocking on the eyes with architectural brows.
Not even a lot of bronzer or a sun-kissed effect is on trend, according to Bennett. "But that doesn't mean you have to leave the foundation at home," he explains. The key is soft luminous foundation that looks like bare skin. Bennett suggests a good concealer that won't cake or be heavy to spot conceal any skin issues. Then, if needed, a silicone-based moderate-to-sheer foundation that will not penetrate the skin. "It won't cake and provides coverage and a protective barrier for those with acne or texture issues," he says.
Creating a barely-there face means an emphasis on skin care for spring. "The canvas has to be right," Bennett says. He recommends avoiding tinted moisturizers and suggests serums instead of moisturizers. Hyaluronic gel serums or primers can prep skin for makeup by pulling moisture from the air for an immediate smoothing effect, while polysaccharides or sugar derivatives hold that moisture in. Silica is another key ingredient for leveling texture and diffusing light.
Katz also recommends using blotting papers to counteract drag from a powder product on top of a creamier product and circumventing caking as the weather warms up. "It's key to have a flawless look without looking over- or under-done," says Katz.
The more natural, stripped down face means blushes are stronger, however. Katz is seeing a lot of coral and nectarine for naturally warm, but sculpted, cheeks. "Find what makes the face a little brighter and go from there," she recommends.
Lips will have a rosy tone that emulates lip color to continue the nude look for spring. Bennett recommends taking extra care of the lips, conditioning and exfoliating them well. "By ensuring lips are in good condition, all that's really needed is balm," he explains. "The look for spring is not super glossy, but something more satin." Bennett also recommends a nude lip liner, preferably waterproof, to shape imperfect lips.
"A very nude lip is on trend," agrees Katz. "The caveat is if she can't pull off a nude lip, don't do it." Katz recommends a nectarine lip gloss over a darker lipstick. And Wood adds, "Nectarine and poppy red for lips is super fresh—very cherubic."
A bright cherry red lip also can be on trend, if the rest of the face is neutral. To update the look, blot down a bright red and put a pinkish gloss over it or mix a coral color with a more brown lipstick to wear as a stain. "There are ways to transition from fall without having to give up tried-and-true favorites," says Katz.
Bright pops of color give an otherworldly look, which was popular on the runways for spring. The colors for eyes are not as vivid as years past, but are softly muted, dustier tones that are saturated but not intense. For color blocking, Bennett suggests first applying a stronger color only to the lid. Blend it to the crease. Then, apply any contouring, as well as liner and mascara. The color will be diffused a bit into more of an accent. The other option is to use a black gel eye liner to exaggerate a thick line, then blend it really quickly before it dries. "Layering a strong color on top will diffuse the color, giving the freshness of color blocking without it being super saturated or vibrant," says Bennett.
For those consumers who are more colorphobic, this makes it more sophisticated and wearable. "Use smartly bright—not neon—colors," suggests Bennett. The look also works easier with pearlized or shimmering colors over the base to catch light and add dimension. "Matte colors look hard, which is dramatic but can appear cartoony," he continues.
Light and bright can also be balanced through the use of mineral pigments. "If the color is too intense, consumers cannot control the product," explains Shawn Towne, global educator for Jane Iredale. "By using luminosity, you can sheer a color without taking away its intensity." If that's still too much, use a strong color as a liner instead. "Keep it to the top lid only," suggests Bennett.
Katz agrees. "Many of the colors are not wearable for most people on an average day," she says. Her advice this season is to use the colors conservatively as a shadow or a liner inside the lower lid to kick up the usual look a notch.
The prevalence of green this spring is undeniable. Similar to the many shades in natural surroundings, this season's greens offer a backdrop for all other hues.
Expect to see Pantone's color of the year, Emerald, continue through to fall, as well. "Emerald is such a great universal shade that works on all skin tones in all different ways. It feels so mysterious and empowering, it's the perfect tone to reflect the women of 2013," says Kate McCarthy, GlōMinerals national makeup artist. Emerald reads beautifully on both warm and cool undertones. "For those on the cooler side, look for greens with a blue undertone, and for those on the warm side, look for emeralds with more of a yellow/golden undertone," McCarthy suggests.
The vibrant yellow-green Tender Shoots is invigorating and cheerful, like the first signs of spring. It looks very cool when used as an accent color on dark brown eyes. Tender Shoots can be used for color blocking on the outer eyelid area as well, just above the lash line and below, then the crease of the eyelid for a flash of color, according to corrective makeup artist Donna Mee of Donna Mee, Inc.

For more than 50 years, California has required sex offenders to register with their local law enforcement agencies. However, information on the whereabouts of these sex offenders was not available to the public until the implementation of the Child Molester Identification Line in July 1995. The information available was further expanded by California's Megan's Law in 1996 (Chapter 908, Stats. of 1996). California's Megan's Law provides the public with certain information on the whereabouts of sex offenders so that members of our local communities may protect themselves and their children. Megan's Law is named after seven-year-old Megan Kanka, a New Jersey girl who was raped and killed by a known child molester who had moved across the street from the family without their knowledge. In the wake of the tragedy, the Kanka's sought to have local communities warned about sex offenders in the area. All states now have a form of Megan's Law. The law is not intended to punish the offender and specifically prohibits using the information to harass or commit any crime against an offender. A new California law, Assembly Bill 488 (Nicole Parra), sponsored by the Attorney General will provide the public with Internet access to detailed information on registered sex offenders beginning no later than July 2005. This expanded access will allow the public for the first time to use their personal computers to view information on sex offenders required to register with local law enforcement under California's Megan's Law. The information earlier was available only by personally visiting police stations and sheriff's offices or by calling a 900 toll-number. The new law was given final passage by the Legislature on August 24, 2004 and signed by the Governor on September 24, 2004.To find out more information visit the Office of the Attorney General of the State of California at http://oag.ca.gov/
Currently you can check the LA County Offender map at www.MegansLaw.ca.gov. Megan's law allows members of the public to protect themselves and their children from sex offenders. The information available includes the name, photograph, and conviction information for sex registrants living in a particular zip code. Non qualifying convictions are not included, and address information is not released.

Teemu Selanne continues to return each season, first considering retirement before committing to play.
However, the 41-year-old Anaheim Ducks forward told The Orange County Register that he would strongly consider ending his career if the 2012-13 season is lost.
"A lot of times when I drive to the rink here and I know there's only four of five guys skating, I'm thinking, 'Right now, I'd like to call and say I'm done,'" Selanne said. "This is enough right now. I'm old enough to do something else and not play with the kids.
"Next time, I feel like I want to wait and see what happens. I have played so many games, so many years. This is not a big thing for me. If I have to retire like this, I'm still going to be a happy camper. But this is a sad way to go out, this way."
Selanne re-signed with the Ducks in July.
In 19 NHL seasons, Selanne has 663 goals and 743 assists.

Local hero: 90-year-old Bothell man keeps Norway Hill clean
Many people take this time of the year to give back to their community or help a neighbor. Bothell resident Jim Anderson does it all year long.
"If you live anywhere between Northeast 145th Street and (the top of) Norway Hill you have surely seen him," neighbor Marie Portis said. "Jim is the man in the yellow-striped orange vest who walks that stretch of hill several times a week, collecting trash that others toss out. He takes it home, sorts it and recycles what he can."
Anderson has become a local hero to many on Norway Hill, generating letters to the editor at the Bothell Reporter and interest from neighbors in having a sign posted on the hill to recognize his work. But Anderson said that he does it because he takes pride in his surroundings.
"I do it just because it needs to be done," said Anderson, who celebrated his 90th birthday in September. "I take pride in my neighborhood."
Anderson said that he picks up trash, cuts back blackberry bushes during the spring and summer and rakes up leaves during the fall.
"Right now it is pine cones and branches," said Anderson. "People are out here with their baby carriages and walking. It makes it tough to walk out here."
Anderson walks down the hill every other day from his home at Northeast 155th Street to the main road and down to Northeast 143th Street … and back up the steep hill.
"On the opposite day I do yoga and stretching," he said. "It is good exercise. It keeps up my health."
His cleaning also includes retrieving things that people have lost.
"I have picked up $5 bills, purses, suitcases, carrying cases, all sorts of things," said Anderson. "I found a carrying case that belonged to a counselor."
The case contained some important and private documents. But Anderson did as he always does no matter if he finds money or private property, he sought out the owner and returned the item.
"I think most of the time they put the item on the roof of their car, forget it is there, and then speed off," said Anderson.
Anderson is out taking care of the stretch of road rain or shine and he said that he has been doing it since 1999.
"Jim is a remarkable and humble man," said Portis.
Anderson was born in Iowa and grew up on a farm in a family of seven. That is where he learned to share responsibility, according to friends.
"He attributes his strong values of community service and cooperation to those early experiences," said Portis. "He attributes his basic philosophy of life to the following adages he learned from his mother."
He includes in those philosophies: Sweep your own doorstep before condemning or talking about others; practice what you preach; don't do anything while away that you can't come home and talk about; judge another by his actions, not by what others say about him; give the other fellow the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise; and never expect something for nothing.
Anderson served in the U.S. Air Force from 1943-1971.
"He can still fit into his uniform," said Portis.
He moved to Norway Hill in 1996.
Anderson has survived two wives, both were taken from him by illness. He has been married to his wife Missy for 11 years, whom he met while swing dancing.
"We have had a wonderful time preparing for this event and have learned a lot," said Missy about Jim's 90th birthday party in September that was celebrated not only by family and friends but his neighbors as well. "Now we know exactly what to do when we host the celebration for 100. Mark your calendars so you won't miss it!"
Anderson said that he has had many people stop to thank him for picking up the trash, but cleaning up the hill is part of why he has lived so long.
"Exercise, eat good and meet your neighbors," said Anderson.

Dright2len = len(Dright2)
i = 1
Dright2end = Dright2
Do While i <= Dright2len
strcheck = mid(Dright2,i,1)
if IsNumeric(strcheck) then
Dright2end = Dright2end
strcheckexists = Instr(Dleft2,strcheck)
if strcheckexists = 0 then
Dright2end = Replace(Dright2end,strcheck,"")
end if
end if
i = i +1
strfinal = Dleft2 & Dright2end
It seems to be a nested if statement.
Here's how the structure should be:
do {
if (IsNumeric(strcheck)) {
} else {
if (strcheckexists = 0) {
} while (i <= Dright2len);
This code started out as a direct conversion of the script, then went through a series of reductions to end up with the following:
function convert(str) {
var parts = str.split(' '),
chars = parts[0].match(/\\D/g).join(''), // non-numeric chars
re = new RegExp('[^\\\\d' + chars + ']', 'g'); // anything that is not (a digit or one of the chars)
return parts[0] + parts[1].replace(re, '');
var converted = convert('W1K 1BE');
// converted is 'W1K1'
The end result is the same, where any letters in the second part are removed if they're not in the first part.
hello, thank you very much for that response. i still have not got this working and am becoming very confused. i think the way my page has been coded is that the javascript is held within the asp file...
here is my code (i have removed a lot of surplus code)
<%@ Language = "JavaScript" %>
Response.ContentType = "text/html";
var P = "";
if (Request.Form("P").Count == 1)
P = String(Request.Form("P"));
else if (Request.QueryString("P").Count == 1)
P = String(Request.QueryString("P"));

[B]<% Response.Write(P); %>[/B] to Heathrow Airport

i have highlighted in bold where my postcode displays. the value that i am trying to manipulate is P
what i need help with now is integrating that function into this code and i would also like to clarify the rules again of the manipulation...
first rule - remove all values after and including the space
second rule - remove all alphabetical characters that are not in the first 2 characters of the value
that's it. i would need this rule to be applied to my P value and if someone can match the syntax of my current code i shall try it out.
thanks again and look forward to a response
Oh well thats good. Now that we have the rules we can create a regular expression that does the work for us.
The two letters could be either together or apart.
If as I understand it, these are UK post codes, they won't start with a number, so the worst case could be A34B56. We can capture that using a regular expression where the numbers on either side can be optional too.
So [A-Z]\d*[A-Z]\d* is the regular expression that gets a letter followed by 0 or more digits, then another letter followed by 0 or more digits.
However, as these are UK postcodes, you should be able to get away with matching one or more consecutive digits, followed by one or more digits
So we can put that within parenthesis as a capture group, and place a carat (^) at the start to ensure that the matches start from the beginning.
Finally, we put forward slashes on either side, and that's your regular expression.
var rx = /(^[A-Z]+\\d+)/;
Let's test it out.
var postcode = 'NW1A 1AA';
var rx = /(^[A-Z]+\\d+)/;
var result = rx.exec(postcode);
area = result[1];
// area is 'NW1'
So as a javascript function that would be:
function postcodeArea(postcode) {
var rx = /(^[A-Z]+\\d+)/;
var result = rx.exec(postcode);
return result[1];
The code in your example is all ASP code, which all runs before the result is sent provided as a web page.JavaScript on the other hand runs on the client side after the web page has been sent.
You should find though that the regular expression can be used in the same way, it's just the implementation details of ASP which differ.
hi again, i am using the following code:
var postcode = P
var rx = /(^\\d*[A-Z]\\d*[A-Z]\\d*)/;
var result = rx.exec(postcode);
area = result[1];

<% Response.Write(area); %> to Heathrow Airport

and am getting this error:
[b]Microsoft JScript runtime error '800a138f'
'result.1' is null or not an object [/b]
This is the JavaScript forum, and I don't know the first thing about ASP.
Do you want to move this thread to our Classic ASP forum?

" Address: Liverpool One / The Terrace / Paradise Street / Liverpool One / Liverpool / L1 8JF/ Tel: 0151 707 9688 "
When a person lives to eat, rather than eating to live then a variety of the World's cusine under one roof is always a good thing. I recently visited the Red Hot World Buffer and Bar in Liverpool whilst on a christmas shopping trip with my daughter.
Based in Liverpool One, in the city centre, and tucked away in a corner of the main restaurant/eatery section of the area, i have to say i was most impressed. It is a large restaurant, and it was about half full when we arrived at about 5.45pm on a Wednesday evening. As soon as we arrived, we were shown to a table and the very helpful waiter asked if we had been before. My daughter had, but i hadn't, so he provided me with lots of information on where i could find all the different foods and how i could help myself as often as i wanted to all the delights on display. He also explained that there were chefs behind some of the areas so if you wanted a dish cooking fresh, just ask and they will do it. They wer called made to order stations and include pasta, noodle bar, fish grilled counter, chargrill and made to oder chinese stir fry.
The restaurant was bright and airey with lots of room. My one complaint would be that the toilets were upstairs so not good if you have a disability! However the toilets were extremely clean and fresh. We sat quite a long way from the food stations but that was fine because there isn't anything wrong with some exercise between courses and with so much food on offer, a walk or two is wise. Now on to the food itself.
On offer was a range of starters which included salads, sushi, fresh meats and cheeses and fruits, as well as chinese, indian and italian, thai and mexican starters. I opted for sushi with salad and some fresh ham slices which was delightful washed down with a good crisp white wine.
I then chose to visit the Italian section where i had a good slice of peperroni pizza and then chose mexican chilli pork and meatballs in the most delicious sauce. I felt relaxed because i could eat when i wanted to and wasn't pushed into rushing through my meal. The food was warm enough and there was plenty of it so my idea of heaven.
After a break for a good chat and another glass of wine, we chose from a great selection of cakes and puddings including a Sundae Counter where you make your own ice cream sundae. My favourite is Apple Crumble which i ate with much vigour whilst my daugter chose a sundae. We both finished off with some fresh fruit. Prices range from around £9.99 for lunch up to 4pm then 5pm to about 10.30pm it is £12.99 but i understand prices are under review. These prices do not include drinks. All in all, a great place when you feel like a variety of foods. Gift vouchers are available from £20 if stuck for an idea for a present.
This review is also available, with alterations on Ciao under flashjules123 (this is me)
My all time favourite place to eat!!!
I live in Liverpool and love going to eat at red hot. I don't know how they do it but you can go in of a day while out shopping and it is just a great place to eat, and it my favourite place to go out for a meal of an evening where i can get dressed up and spend a great evening with my friends, family or my partner.
Red hot is an all you can eat buffet including foods from all around the world including Indian, Chinese, Italian and Tex Mex and many more. A lot of the food is put out in covered dishes or on hot plates and you can go up get as many plates as you like with whatever food you like. There are also food stations where great chefs will make up meals in front of you, where you can choose what you want, for example the Italian workstation allows you to create your own pasta (which freshly made sauce, which pasta shape meat any vegetable etc), this service is available to create your own stir fry's and other dishes. It is nice ad refreshing to see the meal you are about to eat being prepared in front of your eyes as you know it is fresh, has not been sitting warming for hours and you know exactly what is in it. I think this is great because both my family and I are fussy eaters and we can never decide on what we feel like and so this just seems the natural place where we always end up. There are also deserts but personally I feel there is very little choice of these and I personally do not like them however I am usually to full to have any desert anyway.
The staff are all very friendly and extremely welcoming. They are all extremely attentative as when you have finished one plate of food and go to get another your first will have been moved by the time you get back.
If you are going to attend the restaurant I would advise you to book it gets extremely busy especially of a weekend and evening services. They also cater for large parties and we have gone there for birthdays and work meals etc, and the staff has always been great, creating large tables and giving excellent service.
The prices of the meals are as follows:
Day Lunch Dinner
Mon-Thurs £7.99 £12.99
Friday £7.99 £13.99
Saturday £8.99 £14.99
Sunday £9.99 £12.99
And children under ten eat for half price.
I personally feel that this is great value for money for the amount of food you eat while you are here, however the drinks are quite expensive but on a par with other restaurants in the are
In all I think this red hot world buffet is a great place to go and eat, great food great atmosphere and lovely welcoming staff all at a reasonable price what more could you ask for!!!
I visited the Red Hot Buffet in Liverpool a few months ago with a couple of work colleagues. I had never been before but we were looking for somewhere to go for lunch as one of our colleagues was leaving us, and someone suggested the Red Hot Buffet. The people I went with had been before, and assured me it's a great meal and I wouldn't come away hungry.
We reserved a table as we were going on our lunch break so we thought it would probably be peak time. The first thing I noticed was that it's quite a large dining area, and it was very well presented with nice tables and layout. We were escorted to our seats and our drinks order was taken. I was a bit overwhelmed by the choice of food and wasn't too sure where to start, so one of my colleagues took the lead and I went with her to suss it all out.
I was very impressed with the standard of the food which was much better than what you would usually associate with buffets. There was a vast choice of food ranging from all cultures and even the fussiest of eaters would have found something suitable. I particularly enjoyed the range of curries and Chinese dishes, and was only disappointed that I couldn't fit much on my plate without having to keep going back.
I jumped straight in with some noodles and curry, and then on the way back to my chair I noticed there was an area for starters. First mistake out of the way. I then had to have my meal in reverse order as I didn't want to miss out on the vol-au-vents and appetisers which I have to say were top quality.
I love pasta but didn't really see much going on by the pasta bar. There were a few empty steel containers so I presume they weren't offering this on the day I visited. I had a couple of slices of pizza instead. My final visit to the main course area involved Chinese food, I had some sweet and sour and black bean dishes, with prawn toast and noodles.
I didn't really have room for dessert but thought I'd give it a try anyway! There were lots of miniatures of different types of cakes and cheesecakes, and mini tarts and mousses. It reminded me of those Iceland packs you get where they're all miniatures, but they tasted much much nicer. There was a station for kids to help themselves to sweets, and also a guy serving ice cream so you could pick your own flavour. I tried strawberry and also the bubblegum flavour, but bizzarely this was served onto the plate I had picked up (which was still hot from the dishwasher) and so I had to eat it quickly so it didn't melt everywhere.
Service isn't really an issue as it's self serve in this restaurant, but if you run out of drinks you'll be in trouble as you'll either have to try and grab someone's attention, or wander to the bar to ask someone for a fresh drink.
The best part of this restaurant is the variety of different food which means you'll try allsorts of things you wouldn't usually try, and also the value for money. You can eat as much as you like for £7.95, although I believe it's a fair bit more expensive at weekends and some evenings. As we were leaving we had a waiter chase after us to ask if we'd paid which gave us a laugh! But we were in a hurry to get back to work and didn't fancy walking too fast so we'd just left the money on the table and left. Still, I've done this before and never been chased down by a waiter, you'd think they'd check your table before running after you!
I will definitely be returning to this restaurant, but not as a regular thing because I'd put far too much weight on if I ate here often.
I recently decided to try Red Hot Buffet when I met up with a friend for lunch, we figured this would be ideal as we are both so indecisive and at £7.99 per head (in the week) who can complain?
It was pretty busy when we arrived so we were asked to wait in the upstairs bar areas for 15 minutes, after about 5 minutes we were told there was a table ready. The table we were given was upstairs, which we didn't mind so much but it would have been nice to be consulted first. We were quickly asked what we would like to drink, we went for the cheapest pink wine! It was around £13 for a bottle of rose.
We headed downstairs to the buffet and started on salads and oriental starters spring rolls etc. Some of the salads were delicious, especially a broccoli and cream cheese one.
After a few hours of catching up and a fair few trips to the buffet, we had managed to sample food from around the globe. Nothing stands out to me as being amazing, but it was a buffet after all. The price included deserts which was supposed to included flambeed fruit, but we didn't see that! We opted for some jelly sweets and a slice of cheesecake, which was bland to say the least, it didn't actually taste of anything at all! After we had paid we sneaked back for a few handfuls of the jelly sweets to take with us!
The website boasts of 'live stations' where you can have fresh pasta and noodles prepared by a chef, we didn't notice much of that going on, but we were fine with the selections on offer.
For a full range buffet and dessert I think you cannot complain due to the reasonable price, not sure I will be rushing back there but it was the ideal location to take our time and catch up with an old friend.
I think it would be great for a large party, it has a very cool, modern decor and the drinks prices didn't look too bad, I noticed cocktails were £4.45 which isn't bad going.
Looking back at the website makes the trip seem a little disappointing however...
SUSHI - I wish! This was nowhere to be seen.
SEAFOOD BAR - A sign above the salad bar indicated this but there was no sign of fishes.
COLD MEAT CUTS - nope
BREAD DISPLAY - nope
SIMPLE & COMPOUND SALADS - maybe 4 different ones?
MADE TO ORDER PASTA STATION - spotted serving once
MADE TO ORDER NOODLE BAR - spotted un-staffed
CHINESE STIR FRY - unsure if I noticed this
CHARGRILL - no way! I would have noticed this!
CHINESE/THAI/JAPANESE - not much variety
INDIAN - yes plenty on offer here
MEXICAN - yes good selection
FRUIT FLAIR (MAKE YOUR OWN COMPOTE WITH LIQUEUR) - no :( although it was lunch time?!
PUDDINGS & CAKES - various bland cheesecakes and some sponge cakes plus creme brulee.
FRUIT CUTS - yes good selection
GELATO HOME MADE SUPER PREMIUM ITALIAN ICE CREAM - Slightly exaggerated description, the flavours were brightly coloured, nothing that could be achieved without additives and it didn't taste great (I have been to italy!)
FRUITS - not other than the cut fruit
COULIS - no.
okay okay the website probably shows all the options and not all will be on at once (or at lunch) but I still feel a little let down now!
Obviously not the kind of place you would go to expect great things from anyway, so keep this in mind and you should enjoy!

Previous President? Or Next President?Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
They call me the Fathead. I attribute it to a typographical error whereby I lost the C in my nickname; it should have been "Facthead". But it stuck.
Anyway, a friend of mine asked for my help once in the spring of 2007, knowing about my head of facts. I told him what a nice day it was, and he said:
"Yeah, whatever. You recognize this guy here?" At which point my friend indicated a picture of a President of the United States. It took me a moment.
"Yeah, I know that one. What about him?"
"Well, who came before him as President? No, I meant after him. No, wait, before--"
"Actually, it doesn't matter what you meant, because the answer is the same no matter what." And I told him the answer, and it was true, and he remembered it well.
What was my answer?
HintWhy would the answer be the same no matter what? Remember that each President can serve two terms, and note that what I'm talking about happened with only one President.
AnswerGrover Cleveland. He was the 22nd and 24th President, and both succeeded and preceded President Benjamin Harrison, who was pictured in my friend's text. That was why it didn't matter which my friend meant.
What Next?

Keep kids learning
Worried your kid forgets everything they've learnt when not at school? Here's how to keep their brain sharp. more
If kids don't have control of money before adulthood, they learn that money will always be provided for them, that they don't have to be responsible for their spending or their future. And when they finally get control of their own money, they apply those lessons, by spending liberally and not worrying about the future.
Instead, give your kids control of money. Take some money that you already have in your budget, and give them control of it. For example, if you currently spend $200 a month on eating out (to use a random figure), perhaps give your child control over $50 of that. And do the same for clothing and toy spending - don't add to your budget, but allocate portions of your budget to them. Give them complete control over that money.
The result will probably be that they spend too much on frivolous stuff. At first. But when they want other things, they'll have to learn to save for them, and cut back on other areas. Eventually, they'll learn how to make decisions, through trial and error. It could take awhile, but it's better they learn now than when they're adults.
Once they realise that there's more to money than just spending on whatever their latest impulse is, they'll want to buy something larger than the amount they have on hand. That's when you teach them about savings goals.
"You want to buy an Xbox 360? Well, let's find out how much that costs. Now that's how much you'll need to save. If you take $40 from your monthly budget, you could have that in 5 months. If you take $60 from your monthly budget, you could have it in a little over 3 months. But either way, that will mean cutting back on McDonald's and buying little toys every weekend."
You might also create a chart on the computer, that shows their goal, and little savings milestones along the way. That way they can get excited about watching their savings grow.
This goes hand-in-hand with the above lesson, and if you teach them about savings goals, they'll probably learn this lesson on their own. It's common sense, and kids are smart enough to figure it out: if I want to get to a goal faster, I have to save more … which means spending less on other stuff.
But it's worth reinforcing with a discussion about spending and saving, and by talking to them about the decision they're making every time they spend money.
This is the lesson on investing, and it's a lesson many of us can learn. It's one thing to save, where you get perhaps 5% interest. But if your kids are going for short-term goals, they probably won't see much compound interest happening. You'll need them to make a longer-term goal, such as a trip once they finish school, if you have a teenager, or a down payment on a car, or even something a little smaller. Whatever the goal, teach them about how they can put their money in certain investments, and how those investments will grow over time.
That growth is their money earning money for them. It's free money, almost, but the cost is not spending on other stuff in the meantime, and getting into the habit of investing the money. And it'll help them get to their goals faster.
It doesn't have to be a complicated budget, but what you really want to teach them is how to plan their spending, instead of having a big wad of cash that keeps getting smaller with every impulse buy. Something simple, like $30 for savings for a bike, $30 investing for a longer-term goal, $20 for a birthday gift for mum, and $30 for spending. Then teach them how to split the money up and how to ke

Biden calls new Ukraine leader, pledges support
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden has told Ukraine's new prime minister that the U.S. welcomes the formation of the country's new government.
The White House says Biden called Arseniy Yatsenyuk (ahr-SEHN'-ee yaht-sehn-YOOK') Thursday.
It's an important signal of U.S. recognition for Yatsenyuk as the de facto leader of the former Soviet republic.
Biden told Yatsenyuk the U.S. will give full support as Ukraine seeks to restore order in the wake of a major political crisis.
The White House has said by fleeing the capital, President Viktor Yanukovych (yah-noo-KOH'-vich) abdicated power, but he reportedly still claims authority. Biden had spoken to him regularly during the crisis.
Yatsenyuk was overwhelmingly approved by Parliament Thursday. He's widely viewed as a technocratic reformer and has said Ukraine's future lies with the European Union.

Young Buck Likely to Sell Rap Name in Bankruptcy Case
Young Buck faces an obstacle that most rappers never want to come across during their music career. The Tennessee native and former G-Unit signee may have to sell his rap moniker as a result of his current bankruptcy case.
The Tennessean newspaper reports that the trustee administering the 30-year-old rapper's estate plans to sell his trademarked "Young Buck" name along with other assets. Buck filed for bankruptcy in 2010, and Judge George C. Paine II recently signed an order converting the case from Chapter 11 reorganization to Chapter 7 liquidation.
"My name, Young Buck, has been with me since I was 12, 13 years old," Buck stated. "At the end of the day, it's ridiculous. My name wasn't given to me by G-Unit Records. They didn't name me Young Buck. My mother calls me Young Buck."
The conversion of his case does little to help Young Buck, born David Darnell Brown, who was close to signing with Birdman's Cash Money label. The deal would have helped move the 'Straight Outta Cashville' rhymer out of debt slowly, being able to pay back child support he owes as well as the more than $10 million he reportedly owes 50 Cent and G-Unit Records.
Buck has been locked in a bitter legal dispute with the record label since 2008, which prevents him from recording any new material.

AT&T's Network has Fastest 4G LTE Speeds
Independent research firm RootMetrics finds AT&T's network delivers fastest 4G LTE speed of any major wireless carrier

AT&T* wireless customers in the carrier's 4G LTE markets** have access to the fastest mobile Internet speeds on their smartphones.
How fast? RootMetrics®, an independent mobile analytics firm, has reported an average download speed of 18.6 Mbps and an average upload speed of 9.0 Mbps, based on recent testing. That means ultra-fast song downloads, faster photo sharing and app downloads, faster mobile Internet access—virtually everything you do with a smartphone, just easier and faster.
In their LTE Performance Review released today, RootMetrics called AT&T's network "blazing-fast." According to the RootMetrics study, "AT&T easily offered the fastest pure LTE download speed of any carrier."
The RootMetrics LTE March 11, 2013, Performance Review is based on more than 725,000 4G and 4G LTE data samples gathered from the top 77 U.S. markets during the second half of 2012. AT&T had officially deployed 4G LTE technology in 47 of those markets at the time they were tested.

China is not yet requiring a third-party review of Canadian pork imports to ensure they are free of the feed additive ractopamine, Canadian Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said on Monday.
But Ritz said he expects China to require third-party verification of Canadian pork at some point, as it will require of U.S. pork shipments starting March 1.
"We haven't seen that. We fully expect it to happen," Ritz told reporters at the Grainworld conference in Winnipeg.
Most Canadian pork shipments to China are free of ractopamine, a drug that promotes lean muscle growth, Ritz said.
The minister said he expects to discuss the issue with Chinese officials when he visits China in spring. Canada has not received any formal notification from China of a change, he said.
Russia banned U.S. meat imports earlier this month over fears about ractopamine, but has not taken as strict a position on Canadian shipments, Ritz said.
"We haven't shied away from stating our displeasure (with Russia) at the way this is being done, but you have to be able to adapt and facilitate trade. We've been able to do that."
Canadian beef and pork is still moving to Russia, Ritz said, while U.S. shipments to Russia are "spotty," he said.
Canada is the world's third-largest exporter of pork.
Ritz also said that China has approved seven more of its domestic crushing facilities to accept Canadian canola with blackleg, a fungal disease that is present in much of the Canadian crop. The new additions roughly double the number of plants eligible to buy Canadian canola, and are farther inland and closer to Chinese rapeseed growing areas than the other approved plants, suggesting Chinese officials are becoming more comfortable with Canadian supplies, he said.
China, the No. 2 canola/rapeseed grower behind Canada, has restricted imports of Canadian canola with blackleg to a handful of crushing plants since late 2009. Those limited concessions are temporary exceptions to an outright ban, and are up for annual renewal.
"They've given us another seven crush sites to ship to, so that's all good news," Ritz said, adding that the change occurred around the end of December. (Reporting by Rod Nickel in Winnipeg, Manitoba; Editing by Gerald E. McCormick and Maureen Bavdek)

Five years ago who would have ever even considered buying high end furniture online? Probably not many but several factors have been changing that. Today you can buy almost anything online and the process for buying furniture just keeps getting better and easier. Here are a few things to consider if you're shopping for fine furniture online:
Quality, Style and Price – Shopping online opens up a whole new world of choices when it comes to furniture quality, style and price. Even if you're planning to buy your furniture at a local brick and mortar store, you'll benefit from researching these options online and learning how they affect each other. You can also get an idea of what prices are fair and reasonable, as prices for the same piece of furniture can vary unbelievably from store to store.
Customization – Big box stores don't typically offer customization but smaller local stores usually do and so do many online furniture stores. A lot of our customers who live in Boston, Manhattan and other cities need to have their furniture customized to fit small spaces and we're happy to accommodate that. Custom furniture is not necessarily any more expensive than catalog furniture, especially if we're working off an existing design that just needs to be sized up or down to fit into your space.
Lead Time – Buying furniture online often means factoring in additional lead time for crafting and/or shipping. For example, at Vermont Woods Studios the average time between order placement and delivery to your home is about 6 weeks. That can vary depending on the particular pieces of furniture ordered, the degree of customization and the customer's location.
One last thing: online furniture stores have had to really focus on customer service in order to survive. The Internet provides such an accessible forum for reviews of our quality that there is no room for mistakes or less than stellar customer service. This is a great thing for both customers and the industry. It raises the bar for online and brick and mortar stores alike.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [LH] Sept. 15, 2010 Anglers, Biologists Share Information at Athens Meeting ATHENS--Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has long recognized the fact that anglers and agency personnel have common goals and that the best way to make fishing better in Texas is to work together. That fact, and the desire to communicate the latest information on proper fish care based on research done by TPWD biologists and others, was the motive behind a meeting held recently at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center. Topics discussed at the meeting included aquatic nuisance vegetation management on Texas reservoirs, results of a TPWD study on methods of treating fish suffering from overinflated swim bladders and more. Meeting presentations can all be viewed free online at www.sdafs.org/tcafs/Angler_Bio_Meeting_2010. The meeting was the first of its kind in Texas and featured presentations given jointly by anglers and biologists, underscoring the cooperative nature of today's fisheries management. "I was very pleased with the response to the meeting in regards to attendance, interaction and information transfer," said TPWD Inland Fisheries regional director Craig Bonds of Tyler, who organized the meeting along with Tim Cook of the Texas BASS Federation Nation. "Fisheries biologists and anglers share many common interests and concerns. We all want to make fishing the best it can be, and anglers have played, and will continue to play, a significant role in improving fish habitat in Texas reservoirs and using fish-care practices designed to conserve the resource and improve fishing." A special treat for the 115 people in attendance was Saturday evening's after-dinner address by professional angler Alton Jones of Waco, 2008 BassMaster Classic champion. Jones shared inspirational insights into how he approaches both life and fishing. The meeting ended with a fishing tournament that featured demonstrations and presentations on properly caring for fish to ensure their survival. No further meetings of the type are planned at present, but 98 percent of those completing a post-meeting survey indicated they would attend if one is held. "We hope this meeting will serve as a model for interacting with other angling constituencies," Bonds said. Bonds also pointed to the growing importance of social media and electronic communication in facilitating information exchange among groups interested in fishing. --- On the Net: http://www.sdafs.org/tcafs/Angler_Bio_Meeting_2010 http://www.flickr.com/photos/craigbonds http://www.facebook.com/Angler.Biologist.Athens http://www.livestream.com/tbfn -30-
