There is nothing like an old-fashion pushing match to kick-start a football game and that's what happened last night at the Rogers Centre between the Argonauts and the Calgary Stampeders.
With both teams warming up on the artificial turf before the opening whistle, Argos defensive end Jonathon Brown approached Calgary kicker Sandro DeAngelis and suggested he go practise at the other end of the field.
A few cross words later, the two began a pushing and shoving match that resulted in both benches coming over to the aid of their respective teammates.
"It all started last week," DeAngelis said. "He said a few things in Calgary and then he just carried on with it (last night)."
The Stampeders beat the Argos 39-18 in that game and much of the credit went to DeAngelis who kicked six field goals to lead his team to the victory.
Brown said he thought the Calgary kicker was "showing off" by practising his kicking near where the Argos defensive squad was warming up.
But Brown said in the end their was no harm, no foul to the incident.
"It was just some trash talking, that's it," Brown said.
"He's a quality kicker and I'm a quality defensive end. It's all just part of professional football."
DeAngelis said while tempers flared, he never thought it would go any further.
"There were a few shoves and some pushing," he said. "But after it was all over Jonathon came over and we both apologized to each other for what happened."
Brown viewed the incident as a catalyst for the Argos' play the rest of the game
Neither of the players was penalized.

Writing is a way for a person to develop their vocabulary. Finding new ideas and expressing it in writing helps students in their understanding of the richness and variety of the English language. Writing is also a way for a student to improve themselves intellectually.
The most important way writing is valuable are in the pleasure it provides. When a student write, they must examine their thoughts and feelings on a topic which provides new insights into his own character. Writing is a good way for students to improve his or her critical thinking.
A teacher should encourage writing in their classes. She should assigns topics each week which will challenge students to the utmost of his ability. The class could also used one of their meetings to have students read his essay out loud. In this manner, either the pleasure of writing or the intellectual benefits will exert its influence to make the students avid writers.

People have been urged to remain vigilant near the sea and waterways after nearly twice the average rain fell over parts of Scotland.
December rainfall in the west of Scotland was 90% higher than average, while overall Scottish rainfall was nearly two thirds above the long term average.
Hundreds of properties have been affected by power cuts in the last two days, and around 2,000 people have received flood alerts on the east and west coasts, according to Environment Minister Paul Wheelhouse.
Loading article content
Mr Wheelhouse said prevention work had "helped to limit the impact of flooding in Scotland" over the last week, while the majority of properties affected by power cuts were reconnected within six hours.
Mr Wheelhouse said: "I would like to pay a particular tribute to all those in our agencies, emergency services, local authorities and the local responders who have helped to keep Scotland safe and support local residents in preventing property damage.
"While Sepa and the Met Office continue to monitor the impact of the weather, and people should remain vigilant particularly around coastal areas and waterways, I am pleased to say that our investment in prevention and the fast acting work of our agencies means that, while some localised impacts were suffered, Scotland has not been exposed to the same level of flooding impacts and weather damage as other parts of the UK and as have been experienced in Scotland in previous years.
"Over the Christmas and Hogmanay period, including on Christmas Day and New Year's Day, Scottish Government and our response agencies have been working and acting quickly and successfully to protect homes across the country.
"And given Met Office forecasts suggest unsettled weather patterns will continue for the immediate future, we will continue to monitor weather conditions closely and, with this in mind, we are already beginning preparations for the return to work on Monday morning.
"We have clearly seen the benefits of the work that the Scottish Government is doing to support a range of partners such as local authorities to reduce flood risk and to coordinate restoration of transport services or power supplies where these were affected.
"The fact that - despite a tough financial climate - we have managed to consistently maintain the funding to protect properties at risk of flooding, which we estimate is at a level three times the rate per property at risk than is the case in England - shows how important it is to this Scottish Government and our local authority partners to protect our communities from the potentially devastating impact that flooding can bring.
"I intend to provide a statement to update Parliament on the measures we have taken over the holiday period and the preparations that remain in place for the rest of the winter period.
"We always look to learn the lessons from severe weather incidents in Scotland and other parts of the UK, and I am pleased that previous experiences have helped us to deliver a strong response, protecting properties and maintaining transport links."

Legacy Mourns Death of 'Final Founder' Mike Vandewater
First board chairman and the last of nine HIV-positive men who founded Legacy Counseling Center in 1989 was also instrumental in creating 'Founders Cottage,' Legacy's special care facility in Oak Cliff
Vandewater, along with eight other men who initially met at an HIV-positive support group in the mid-1980s when AIDS was still a relatively new and often misunderstood disease, recognized the growing need for specialized mental health services specifically for individuals challenged with HIV. The other eight founders -- James Measley, John Moore, Clint Johnson, Marvin Levick, Mike Coleman, Bob Gressett, Chuck Mittleman, and
George Constantinidis -- all died of AIDS between 1991 and 1994. Vandewater lived as an HIV-positive individual for approximately 30 years.
In 1996 Legacy Counseling Center opened Founders Cottage to provide hospice-related services for persons in the final stages of AIDS. At the dedication ceremony, Vandewater called Founders Cottage a "realization of a dream." Since that time, thanks to medical advancements in the treatment of HIV and AIDS, the mission of Founders Cottage has shifted from only providing hospice-type services to becoming a special care facility with emphasis on recovery and rehabilitation. Over the past 16 years, the demographics of clients has changed as well from being almost exclusively gay white men to significantly more African-Americans, Hispanics and women. (http://www.legacycares.org/
"I remember meeting Mike in the earliest days of Legacy," said Melissa Grove, executive director of Legacy who was also Founders Cottage's original program director. "The topic of AIDS was taboo for people, and it was very difficult to get support from just about anyone. Where others wanted to bury their head in the sand, Mike bravely pushed forward and made this agency survive, through whatever means he could. The Cottage was his real labor of love, and he spent hundreds of hours rehabilitating the home that would go on to help so many people who otherwise would be alone, dying without care."
Born on July 1, 1946, in El Dorado, Arkansas, Vandewater attended Henderson State College where he was a member of Phi Lambda Chi fraternity and was named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. He later received his Master of Arts in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin University. He spent the majority of his professional career working with the Richardson Independent School District as a school psychologist. Vandewater is survived by his parents, Van and Betty Vandewater of Friendswood, Texas, as well as his sisters Gail Ramsell of Houston and Karen Fikes of North Little Rock, Arkansas, and his brother, David Vandewater of Nashville. Vandewater's closest friends included the family of Ted Porter and Bubba and Tammy Weems, all of Dallas.
Legacy Counseling Center provides individual and group therapy to HIV-positive people and their families. Legacy also operates Founders Cottage, a seven-bedroom house that provides 24-hour care for critically ill AIDS patients in a home-like setting.
In lieu of flowers, the family requested donations be made to Legacy Counseling Center and Founders Cottage in the name and memory of Mike Vandewater.

Equal Access Program, Dec. 5
Contact Brandi Palmer
Manager of Media Relations
Should everyone have equal access to justice? Do the elderly and people with disabilities have access to the courts? Judges, attorneys and court administrators will explore how to best provide access to justice for all, including those persons with physical limitations, on Stetson University College of Law's Gulfport campus on Dec. 5.
The American Bar Association Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section Standing Committee on Diversity in the Profession, General Committee on Animal Law, and Stetson Law will present "Providing Persons with Disabilities and the Elderly with Equal Access to Justice." Justice Fred Lewis of the Florida Supreme Court will provide the keynote.
The special one-day Continuing Legal Education program will take place in the Eleazer Courtroom on Stetson Law's Gulfport campus at 1401 61st St. S. beginning with registration at 7:30 a.m. Stetson built the model barrier-free Eleazer Courtroom in 2005 specifically to give access to the elderly and the disabled.
A national faculty of experts will present topics including:
- Courtroom design
- Use of service animals
- Jury selection
- Access for jurors, parties, attorneys and judges
"With some thought and a few modifications, access can be provided to everyone," said Boston Asset Management Chair in Elder Law professor Rebecca Morgan, who directs the Center for Excellence in Elder Law at Stetson.
Stetson's unique, elder-friendly teaching courtroom uses cutting-edge technology, including flat panel monitors to display evidence, hearing amplification devices to make speech more audible, and a flat panel touch screen outside the courtroom to explain court personnel and their roles in the courtroom proceedings.
To register or for more information about this program, please visit the TIPS Equal Access to Justice Program at the ABA at www.abanet.org/tips.

Additional Information on Freixenet Cordon Negro Extra Dry Champagne Blend
Winery Freixenet
Varietal: Champagne BlendWhilst Champagne sparkling wines are most commonly made with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grape varietals, there are actually seven fine grape varietals allowed by French wine law for inclusion in the wines of this region. These include Arbanne, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and and Petit Meslier alongside the others, although these four are being used less and less in the modern age. Champagnes are normally blended wines, although the popularity of single variety 'blanc de blanc' Champagnes made solely with Chardonnay grapes, and 'blanc de noir' wines made only with Pinot Noir varietal grapes are becoming more and more popular. The blending process found in most Champagnes aims to take the finest points of each grape varietal and bring them together to produce spectacular, strong yet balanced results in the bottle.
Region: CatalunaThe beautiful Spanish wine region of Catalunya has a history of viticulture which stretches back for over a thousand years, and has been influenced by a wide range of people who moved through the region, and brought their wine making skills and expertise with them. The region itself is a sizeable one, covering an area of sixty thousand hectares, and within this space there resides over two hundred individual wineries, ranging from small, independent and traditional ones to the larger, mass production bodegas known around the world. The terroir of Catalunya is varied, and ranges from being dry and arid, to more lush and green in the wetter parts of the region which are closer to the coast. This variation in terroir results in a fantastic range of grape varietals being grown, and a wide range of wine styles are produced within Catalunya.
Country: Spain
Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

By Attorney Kenneth Wincorn
Special to THELAW.TV
This article is for all who are not U.S. citizens or those who have friends or employees who are not. It is amazing how easy it is to get in trouble with immigration. Juan recently was arrested for leaving a store without paying for all the items he left the store with. He is a permanent resident who got his residency three years ago. He has a wife and three children who are U.S. citizens and he has a great job. He made bail and went to court several months later. He had been charged with a misdemeanor theft for taking items valued at $60, a Class B theft. He knew was not guilty of the theft since he had not intended to take the items without paying. One of his children had taken a toy and put it in his bag as he left the store and he had not been aware of it.
Juan explained to his court-appointed attorney that he was not guilty, but did not want to make a big deal out of the case, so he did not want to try it. His attorney was not experienced in immigration law and had limited knowledge of what could happen to Juan's residency. He told him that this might affect his immigration status, but since he was a resident, it would not be a serious problem. Juan pled no contest and received a non-conviction probation (deferred sentence).
When it came time for renewal of the green card, he applied and received a notice to appear in immigration court. His immigration attorney informed him that he would automatically lose his residency and be deported. The problem was that Juan had been found guilty of a crime involving moral turpitude within five years of receiving his residency. Even though he had never been found guilty by the court, for immigration purposes, a deferred probation is a conviction.
This is how easy it is for someone who is not guilty of a crime to lose everything he has, including his family. There is a lack of knowledge in the immigrant community and in the legal community of the effect of criminal convictions. The example above shows one of hundreds of ways the system affects the most upstanding non-citizen. The rules apply to company presidents, as well as to agricultural workers. Social status does not protect anyone from mandatory penalties. The judges in immigration court have no options. They must follow the law no matter how they view the propriety of the result.
How about DWI's? They do not automatically result in loss of status, but if there is a child in the car, the situation changes. The same is true if there is an attempt to evade arrest or the police find some drugs in the car. Multiple DWI's cause a problem if the total of jail time assessed exceeds five years, regardless if the time is actually spent in jail. The five years is a total of all criminal sentences received in a lifetime. However, a DWI is a problem if there is an application for citizenship because it is considered to evidence bad moral character for five years after the conviction.
As you can see, interpreting the effect of criminal conduct on immigration status is complicated. Few criminal lawyers are well-versed in both areas of the law, but without the needed experience, it is not possible to represent the client adequately. The criminal courts do not inform defendants of the effect of their plea other than to say, sometimes, that the plea may affect their status and right to become a U.S. citizen. Few persons standing before a judge are in any condition to understand what that means and the word "may" is not correct. The plea often results in terrible consequences that "must" happen.
In addition to loss of status because of criminal sentences, there are other ways for status to be in jeopardy. Continuous absence from the country can become a problem if more than six months. If over a year there is a presumption of abandonment.
What can be done to avoid the problems mentioned above along with many other pitfalls? The first solution is citizenship! Once granted, unless there was something untruthful on the application, no one can be deported. It is amazing that so many people who are able to apply don't. For many, they will have dual citizenship, they lose nothing and gain more than citizens born here.
Above all, find a lawyer who is experienced in both areas of the law when there is a question involving legal status. The times that are the most critical are when applying for any immigration benefit or change of status as well as when a criminal matter arises.
The author, Kenneth Wincorn, is a immigration attorney in Richardson, Texas.

Rolling Stone : Chris Daughtry: "American Idol" Is "in a State of Decline"
Chris Daughtry: "American Idol" Is "in a State of Decline"
1/14/08, 11:44 am EST
On the eve of the premiere of the seventh season of American Idol, one of the show's most famous losers, Chris Daughtry, says that the Idol franchise is starting to lose its luster. "I feel like it's definitely lacking some credibility at this point," says Daughtry, who came in fourth place on the 2006 season but went on to sell 3.6 million copies of his debut record and be named one of Nielsen's top ten selling artists of 2007. "It's in a state of decline and if they don't do something about it, it's probably not gonna last too much longer. I'm sure that'll be used against me, but that's the truth, you know?"
Daughtry has some numbers on his side: last year's "American Idols Live" tour played to 68 percent capacity crowds, while the 2006 version was 96 percent sold out. Three top Idols — Ruben Studdard, Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee — have recently lost their record contracts due to poor sales. Ratings also went down one percent last year, marking the first decline in the show's history. Daughtry blames the show's woes partially on its emphasis on untalented singers. "People get tired of seeing people that suck," he says. "It's funny at first, but come on. They spend three weeks on people that can't sing, and that's what they're banking it on. [They should] find some people that you can really invest in."
Idol plans on making some minor adjustments this season: contestants will be able to play an instrument in the early rounds and celebrity mentors will be de-emphasized to create more time to tell the contestants back stories. Still, Daughtry, who is currently recording his band's second album, worries the show faces a more fundamental problem: "After going for so long, who else is out there that still wants to get on the show?" That question, and a host of others, will be answered when the show's seventh season premieres tomorrow night amid the ongoing Writers Guild strike — it's a TV climate that experts predict will give Idol a ratings bump
I'd be willing to bet some money that there are plenty of people-good singers-who would love to go on AI and potentially be where Daughtry is right now.Originally Posted by BoBoFan;2753077;
I love you Chris...but IMO, its not necessary to bite the hand that fed you your start......
Reality is the beginning...not the end....Wallace Stevens
Even if it what Chris is saying is true, there's an element of ungratefulness coming from his mouth based on what that interview said. Not a classy thing to say.
I love Chris, but he needed to keep his mouth shut.
I agree with some of the points Chris made, like showing less of the crappy contestants, but wow. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. He should be trying to get the public excited about the next season, not bad-mouthing it. If it wasn't for American Idol most of us would not know Daughtry and they wouldn't have had the opportunity to get that kind of record deal. They are very talented but part of their fanbase is American Idol viewers so he should be more grateful in the future.
One of these days I'll stop being sensitive. Until then, I'll continue to be devastated on a daily basis. Life breaks my heart.
wow. someone got some attitude huh. i like his voice, his album is pretty good but gosh...shuddup! just leave it to the audience/fans/analysists/critics to slam AI. i just don't like when contestants especially those who go real far into the competition and are successful start dissing and criticizing the one place/thing that made him/them so successful. again, he's a great singer and album was well made...but he really should be grateful cause the top 3 finishers didn't get as much "respect" and "help" that he had from the show his season.
oh and someone tell him he ain't a real rockstar. He's pure Adult Contemporary Rock.
not my frickin fault. fine, my fault, i always get blamed anyways.
Unfortunatly this plays in to many of the personal observations I have read that people have had about meeting him. I have no personal experiences so I can't say, But I have read many reports of him having attitude to burn & being quite a jerk.
there is still behind the scenes conspiracies that the producers wanted him out because of his attitude
I heard one of his songs on a pop station here. It sounds very much like other songs out there. I think he can sing for sure, I just am not fond of the music.
Yup, with donuts!!

Right of education in separatist eastern region of Moldova at UN
by H.E. Vlad Lupan, Ambassador,
Permanent Representative of the Republic of Moldova to the United Nations
during the general discussions under the agenda item 68 (b) and (c),
Third Committee, 69th session of the United Nations General Assembly
M Chair,
The Republic of Moldova is fully committed to the protection of human rights and commends the intense work of the United Nations bodies involved in the promotion and respect of human rights all over the world.
My country remains fully supportive to the Secretary General's Strategic Framework for 2014-2015, involving thematic priorities such as combat discrimination, promoting rule of law and accountability, fighting violence, inequality and continuing efforts to improve international human rights mechanisms, and widening the democratic space. We share these priorities and bring our national contributions, as well best regional practices, to these priorities.
Thus, being an active member of the Council of Europe (CoE) and in the European Union-Republic of Moldova human rights dialogue, we have steadily contributed to further enhancing the coordination and increasing synergies among international and regional mechanisms. We firmly believe that such an approach brings more efficiency and further consolidates results in fulfillment and promotion of human rights.
As an example of regional commitments taken at the CoE, EU and relevant for the United Nations, the Republic of Moldova took the decision to abolish the death penalty in 1995, four years after its independence. Since adopting this decision the Republic of Moldova has consistently supported and promoted the abolition of death penalty in all relevant international fora, including CoE, EU and the UN. Accordingly, the Republic of Moldova became a core group co-sponsor of the HRC resolution on the abolition of death penalty now, and uses this opportunity to call on all states to join a global moratorium on the death penalty as a first step towards its abolition. This example of national, regional and international joint approach proves how this multi-layered approach can strengthen our coordination and synergies in respect of human rights.
Speaking about universal mechanisms, as a candidate to the Human Rights Council for the term 2020-2022, the Republic of Moldova stresses that the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) has proved to be an important tool to promote the implementation of the human rights nationally and internationally. We are glad that this mechanism reconfirmed its usefulness yet again this year. The Republic of Moldova is attaching great importance to this exercise and, for example, organized the 4th French-speaking seminar on the UPR together with IOF and the OHCHR on 11-12 April 2014, in Chisinau. This event offered a good experience sharing platform in implementation of the UPR recommendations and finding best ways to improve UPR durability. In this context, we share the view that greater priority should be given to implementation and follow-up to the recommendations made by the UPR, Treaty Bodies and Special Procedures for real impact of human rights on the ground. As a country that has streamlined the recommendations of the UPR, Treaty Bodies and regional organizations in the National Human Rights Action Plan, we can confirm that this is, indeed, an efficient tool for systematic implementation of human rights and can be a useful example for other UN member states.
M Chair,
Promotion and, particularly, protection of human rights is a justified and moral priority around the world today. Violations of human rights may be indeed a serious indicator not only of ongoing, but also of potential crises. We believe that the promotion of the Rights Up Front Initiative, with a growing number of Member States and intergovernmental bodies, as well as the determination within the United Nations to anchor human rights throughout the work of the Organization, should help strengthening the ability of the United Nations to respond in a timely and effective manner to human rights situations of concern and might help prevent crises as well.
As there is a shift in the security developments around the world, so does the pattern of attention to the human rights needs to include these developments. Human rights related problems are rising in conjunction to security developments inside the states. Some of these concerns are not new, however, and show the need to keep our attention to such problems as frozen conflicts. We continue to be concerned about the human rights situation in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova. Due to the unresolved conflict the region remains outside the monitoring process of the national and international human rights mechanisms. In terms of ensuring outreach, dissemination and compliance with the international standards on human rights, the region remains an unexploited territory. While the Republic of Moldova devotes extensive efforts to ensure respect of the rights of individuals in accordance with the national and international legal framework, the human rights represents one of the priorities on the agenda of negotiation process aimed at resolving this protracted conflict. One of the human rights topics which are constantly on the agenda of Moldovan Government is the situation around functioning of the Moldova-administered Latin Script Schools situated in the Transnistrian region. Throughout the years, the schools experienced various forms of pressure and intimidation from different Transnistrian structures. Currently these schools are operating in an environment of uncertainty and insecurity and confront with a number of challenges including discriminatory policies. The Government of the Republic of Moldova is committed to identify solutions through dialogue. In parallel central authorities are constantly appealing to the Transnistrian side to refrain from any unilateral actions that could lead to the deterioration of conditions in which schools are operating. Permanent attention by our international partners to this issue is still much needed.
M Chair,
In a year from now, the new development agenda with the SDGs at its core will come to complement the existing Millennium Development Goals. We need to stress the relevance of strengthening the linkages between the three dimensions of the sustainable development. We know there is an inseparable relationship between sustainable development and human rights, because the respect for human rights means empowerment, and empowerment is as a prerequisite for development. A human rights-based approach is essential to development progress.
Therefore, M Chair, in conclusion, I want to assure you of the Republic of Moldova's commitment to further engage in the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide.
I thank you!

Withdrawal of Russian forces from Moldova is requested & concerns in and around Ukraine
by Ambassador Vlad Lupan, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Moldova to UN, at the thematic debate of the UN General Assembly First Committee,
69th session, on Conventional Weapons
New York, 22 October 2014
Mr. Chairman,
Since this is my first opportunity to address the 1st Committee, it is my honor to congratulate you on your assumption of the chairmanship of the First Committee and other Bureau members on their election as well. We pledge to support your leadership and the work of this Committee.
I would also like to avail myself of the opportunity to express my appreciations to Ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi, Permanent Representative of Libya, for his efforts as the Chair of First Committee during the previous session.
Mr. Chair,
The Republic of Moldova aligns itself with the statement delivered by the European Union on Conventional Weapons, while I would like to add in my national capacity some remarks of importance to my country.
We welcome the entry into force of the Arms Trade Treaty in December 2014. The Republic of Moldova started the ratification process, and expects to be able to conclude this procedure as soon as possible. We are committed to go ahead with the implementation of the ATT's provisions and call other state-parties for the global, wide, transparent and effective implementation of the Treaty upon the entry into force of the document. And of course, in anticipation, we also wish success to The First Conference of States Parties of the ATT to take place in 2015.
In particular let me reiterate an important element of the Treaty that we have underlined forcefully during its adoption – there is a strong and repeatedly expressed believe by the Republic of Moldova that this Treaty should not only ensure the transparency and accountability in transfers of conventional weapons per se, it should also help preventing illicit trafficking of such arms, particularly to separatist unrecognized entities. This is of vital importance to my country and in the current dangerous and complex regional security context.
In this context, we stress again that our aim is to develop and strengthen national capacities of weapons control and adjust them to international standards, in particular improve national legislation on trade, and also practices for arms and military equipment trade, with the support of our traditional partners. We call for new partners and donors to step in these important projects.
The Republic of Moldova also remains committed to the implementation the UN Programme of Action (PoA) on Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) and expresses its satisfaction with the outcome of the 5th Biennial Meeting on SALW. We also welcome the UNSC resolution 2117 of 26 September 2013 on small arms and light weapons. At the same time, we recall again the security developments in the region and remind about the need for an effective SALW control mechanism in these circumstances.
Mr. Chair,
The Republic of Moldova stresses yet again that today more than ever we should focus on a combination of global and regional conventional arms control arrangements, as our particular situation in Europe shows. A genuine security, progress in arms controls and disarmament, could be achieved if a complex set of measures is taken at all levels – international, regional and national.
That is why we underline that we would welcome an early progress and result on conventional arms control agreement in Europe. My country highly values the contribution of both cornerstone documents – the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe and the Vienna Document on CSBMs, in ensuring military balance, security and transparency on the continent. However, legally binding provisions of a Treaty, in this particular case of the CFE Treaty regime, cannot be replaced by any politically binding commitments. Any future control regime in this respect is to be based on a legally binding system of verifiable equipment limits, include information exchange and verification measures, as well as take full account of other relevant elements of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE Treaty). Such a regional regime should be in conformity with, in our case, the OSCE Helsinki Final Act principles, leaving no place for misinterpretation. Moreover, such a conventional arms control arrangement shall only strengthen the respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of states-parties. We firmly believe that among other important elements, a new Euro-Atlantic arrangement should reinforce the principle of host-nation consent to the stationing of foreign military forces.
As an example of positive results that we would have expected from such regional arms controls regime would be the reality in which the revitalization and full operationalization of the CFE regime would have provided as a result the fulfillment of all related commitments undertaken at the OSCE Istanbul Summit in 1999 – particularly, the withdrawal of foreign military presence from Moldova, which does not enjoy the consent of the host country. And this would mean the remaining stockpiles of conventional ammunitions from Colbasna and the so-called Operative Group of Russian Forces, which guards these stockpiles. Regional arms control regimes, thus, do matter.
Moreover, the existing developments, particularly, the crisis in and around Ukraine poses a serious test for the arms control instruments and toolboxes of the UN and regional organizations under Chapter VIII of the UN. Our efforts, therefore, should focus on the implementation and strengthening of the existing commitments adopted at the UN and regional organizations. Thus, for example, a functional CFE regime would have been a valuable asset, if appropriate political will would have been displayed, to dispel concerns and defuse tensions, contributing to stabilization of the situation in and around Ukraine. Hence, UN could consider sending a political message of encouragement of the development of appropriate regional arms control tools, as a part of the global arms control effort.
Mr. Chair,
In conclusion, I am reaffirming the commitment of the Republic of Moldova to continue its engagement in the issues associated with the conventional weapons control.
Thank you.

Statement - Resolution on Ukraine UNGA
Statement by H.E. Mr. Vlad Lupan,
Ambassador, Permanent Representative
of the Republic of Moldova to the United Nations
at UN General Assembly
Plenary meeting on agenda item 33 (b) Prevention of armed conflicts: Strengthening the role of mediation in the peaceful settlement of disputes, conflict prevention and resolution
New York, 27 March 2014
(explanation after the vote)
Mr. President,
The Republic of Moldova followed with great concern the unfolding of the situation in Ukraine and remains deeply worried about the developments in this neighboring and friendly country. In this context we have already stressed our position that we support the principles of the international law applying to all member states, in this particular case to Ukraine as well – on the independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders, in accordance with the UN Charter, including Article 2. We also believe that the bilateral And multilateral agreements make a body of the international law and need to be observed, including in the case of Ukraine.
While welcoming the commitment of the Ukrainian authorities to respect and protect the rights of all persons in Ukraine, including minorities, we acknowledge that the future of Ukraine can be considered and decided only upon the free will and aspirations of all Ukrainians themselves, without any outside influence.
We regret the conduct of the so-called "referendum" in Crimea. The Government of the Republic of Moldova expressed its position on March 16 and reiterates that the so-called "referendum" on the status of the Crimean peninsula cannot be legal due to the fact that it contravenes to the Ukrainian Constitution and international law. The conditions in which this so-called "referendum" took place could not be considered a free expression of people's will and does not correspond to relevant international standards and law.
Mr. President,
The Republic of Moldova stands with the people of Ukraine and will provide all the support to the efforts to overcome the current crisis in a peaceful manner and in conformity with principles of international law.
We also commend the ongoing UN efforts with regard to this crisis and are looking forward to the continued constructive role of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and UN system as a whole in that regard. We additionally welcome the March 21stOSCE Permanent Council Decision to deploy an OSCE special monitoring mission to Ukraine, taken this time by consensus, a good example for the UN as well.
Mr. President,
This crisis brought difficult times to the existing system of inter-state relations and to the UN. The implementation of the international principles on sovereignty, territorial integrity, independence, rule of law, including in the framework of multilateral and bilateral relations, the respect for human rights and free and fair expression of people's will are tantamount for the well-functioning of this institution in particular and to the system of international security and international relations as a whole. As a country that has an unresolved, protracted separatist conflict on its territory for over 20 years, we look forward to the resolution of conflicts through peaceful means and dialogue. This is the reason why my delegation voted in favor of this resolution, supporting the respect for the UN Charter and its principles.
Thank you.

Consiliul de Securitate ONU: sunt mentionate "transnistria", necesitatea de avea o noua operatiunie de mentinere a pacii, situatia scolilor din "transnistria" si experienta negativa de interefenta in afacerile interne ale statului
by Ambassador Vlad LUPAN, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Moldova
to the United Nations at the UN Security Council Open Debate on
"Promotion and strengthening of the rule of law in the maintenance of
international peace and security",
New York, 19 February 2014
Madame President,
As this is my first opportunity to speak this year in the Security Council, I would like to congratulate Lithuania for being elected and serving to this body and express our appreciations for organizing this important debate today, in a manner to which we all can contribute.
I also wish to thank the UN Secretary General for the today's report and his strong commitment to strengthening and mainstreaming the United Nations support to the Rule of Law (RoL) in all areas of UN activities, and in this particular instance on the maintenance of international peace and security, including in the peacekeeping operations. I would also like to commend the amplified UN attention to the Rule of Law and Justice through High Level Meetings on this topic, and during the discussions in the General Assembly and Security Council, or consultations on the connection between RoL and Conflict Prevention, and Post-conflict Building in the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as various other activities in the United Nations system. Latest changes in many parts of the world, the new threats and challenges to international peace and security strengthen even more the idea that all the aspects of the rule of law, ranging from citizen's security, to the respect for rights and freedoms of the people, should be ever present on the UN agenda.
Madame President,
The Republic of Moldova aligns itself with the Statement of the European Union delivered earlier today.
During the open debates on the SDGs on the RoL and conflict prevention and post-conflict building, we already brought the attention to the fact that one aspect of this process is often overlooked - the need to promoting and strengthening the RoL in the areas affected by protracted conflicts that have not been addressed adequately during previous debates. Nevertheless they too require our full attention and we will refer to them further in my statement.
Madame President,
The security environment in our world is in a permanent change and the proliferation and diversification of the risks and threats are a constant cause of concern. Issues such as international terrorism, good governance, internal conflicts, and cyber security are being discussed by the international community more than before. Hence, the respect for the RoL on the international and national levels remains as important as ever.
From the international point of view, the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and non-interference in internal affairs of a state, remain valid and pertinent – and my country's experience is a clear proof of that.
(addendum: As we already aligned ourselves to the statement of the European Union where current main hotspots on the international level were mentioned, the PM/Government of the Republic of Moldova also issued a press statement mentioning that it watches and continues to follow with deep concern the situation in Ukraine, as neighbours and from the perspective of the regional security as well. The PM/Government is extremely saddened by the loss of life. Sincere sympathies go to the relatives of the deceased along the wishes of speedy recovery to those injured. The PM/Government further urges the parties to refrain from violent action, to defuse the situation and to establish an open dialogue that would lead to reconciliation and identify ways to overcome the political crisis. All divergences in this neighboring and friendly country are crucial to the stability in the region as a whole, so we are watching for these differences to find a solution exclusively by peaceful means, in compliance with democratic norms, as violence is never a solution[1].)
From our perspective the Rule of Law has several implications. One is that the RoL is a precondition for a better development. We believe that the security of the State starts from the security of the citizen - and in a RoL state people need to have the judicial system as a guarantor of their security. A state that genuinely strives for RoL creates more confidence for the population, even in conflict areas, as well as in the conflict resolution process.
Moreover, we can do more to uphold international law through our national systems by an effective implementation of international conventions.
We should also acknowledge a framework of institutions aiming at supporting the international law, peace and security - thus, peacekeeping remains an important mechanism to assist countries passing through a difficult transition from conflict to peace, and is a collective effort supported by all of us. In this regard Moldova is contributing to the UN and NATO peacekeeping efforts in Kosovo with a military contingent.
Let me refer also to the situation in my country, the Republic of Moldova, which continues to be affected by the unresolved Transnistrian conflict. A peacekeeping mechanism to deal inter alia with incidents in the conflict zone was created after the cessation of the military hostilities back in 1992. But today, the incidents we are dealing with in the former conflict zone are not related to the military security anymore – these are usually breaches of public order. In this context, we believe a civilian peacekeeping mission corresponding to the UN principles and standards, in line with the RoL concept for the purposes of durable and just peace and security would be much more relevant.
Without forgetting a more grass root level, one should mention that Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) are also very important, in particular in conflict prevention and often in peacekeeping efforts. (addend.: As an example) A number of CBMs are implemented in the Republic of Moldova as part of the Transnistrian conflict resolution process. CBM programs in case of Moldova cover matters related to rebuilding and reconnecting infrastructure, freedom of movement, education, ecology, social-economic activities. Such CBMs will also be essential for the post-conflict rehabilitation and reconstruction.
One more element linked to the RoL more and more is the Security sector reform (SSR), along with a potential post-conflict disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) of military and para-military – whose successful reintegration may, in some cases, be closely linked to the sustainability of peace. These topics can and should be in the focus of both the Governments and UN or/and UN mandated organizations (addend.: thus regional cooperation is important for the purposes of our discussion).
We shall also refer to the important role of both national contributions to RoL efforts and to the Justice institutions we support. Thus, the Republic of Moldova has been present with our lawyers and judges at the highest level in Timor-Leste, Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Kosovo. At the same time we have indicated our clear support to the International Court of Justice in peaceful settlements of disputes, and, in our capacity of the state party to the Rome statute, the importance and increased role of the International Criminal Court, complementary to national jurisdictions in fighting impunity for the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in conflict and post-conflict situations.
As such examples show, we remain deeply committed to our general aim to uphold and develop an international order based on the RoL, where international law, including human rights is fully respected and implemented, and where accountability is important to maintain a sense of responsibility for all. Hence, either through national participation or international support, every state has the chances and possibilities to contribute to the RoL and international peace and security.
Speaking about the human rights, which we have mentioned earlier in the context of the conflict resolution efforts, we shall refer that among many factors, it is also important to have a free, independent, pluralistic and responsible media. In a globalized world, such a media could be a window for dialogue, peace and reconciliation, as well as a conduit for a correct or balanced understanding of the development and conflict resolution matters. Referring to the freedom of the media situation in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova, we have to acknowledge that media outlets in this region fully controlled or experience significant pressure from the administration – and this is not a positive factor in the overall context of the conflict resolution.
We will probably sound similar to our EU colleagues, who spoke in October 2013, during the United Nations General Assembly Sixth Committee on Agenda item 85, when we say that Rule of Law presumes a full respect for human rights – and we will add from our own experience - that this is particularly important for the societies in conflict areas.
During the recent Rights up Front launch at the UN, the violations of human rights have been marked as indicators of a potential conflict, while unfortunate ongoing violations of human rights in conflict areas have been highlighted as conflict aggravators – respectively the need for the UN to watch the human rights situation have been stressed, along with the idea that promoting the respect for human rights may reduce existing problems in conflicts.
We have brought in this context the example of my own country, where the UN expert, Thomas Hammamberg (former Human Rights Commissioner for Council of Europe) at the request of the Moldovan government conducted in 2012 a human rights survey in the conflict area, where unfortunately, the human rights situation, in particular the one related to children's rights to education, has aggravated. The need to respect human rights, from such a concrete experience in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova, shows a valid point elsewhere - that the respect for human rights is essential from both humanitarian perspective and for the conflict resolution as a whole. This goes along with the idea already voiced in this Council that the promotion of the RoL and universal human rights constitute fundamental requirements for achieving sustainable peace, and, in this context, we commend the SC for its increasing attention to the promotion of justice and the RoL in the context of sustainability of peace and security.
While RoL presumes the respect for human rights and freedoms, for the purposes of conflict resolution it is also important to understand that the involvement of various state and non-state actors in the mediation, conflict resolution and development has to take into account the fact that a conflict in itself is an extremely sensitive situation – and hence needs a coordinated approach.
Madame President,
In conclusion I am referring once again to the High Level Dialogue on the Rule of Law and its Declaration, unanimously adopted by all Member States, strengthening the links between the RoL and the three pillars of the United Nations: peace and security, sustainable development and human rights. Republic of Moldova remains directly interested and committed to continue to actively participate in all efforts aimed at promoting and strengthening the RoL at the international and state levels for the purposes of ensuring peace and security.
Thank you.

Cine este Dughin?
Sau ce ne spune Wikipedia despre A. Dughin
Chiar daca "wiki" nu intotdeauna este o sursa la care poti face referinta sigura, totusi este si ea o sursa pentru orice internaut. Va indemn sa vedem, neoficial, ce spune.
Pana atunci, Va redau si cum am ajuns sa caut referinte la Aleksandr Dughin - in ultimele zile am primit o serie de e-mailuri de la colegi si amici - imi spuneau sa urmaresc emisiunile cu Dughin la Chisinau. Am vazut comentarii in presa din Republica Moldova despre cat de importanta este domnia sa, ideolog al partidului Presedintelui Putin, etc (de exemplu articolul din ziarul Timpul, dar si din alte publicatii din Republica Moldova):
Titlul din ziarul Timpul - "RUSIA E GATA SĂ INVADEZE MOLDOVA, CUM VA REACȚIONA GUVERNUL?"
Dar din curiozitate am accesat si Wikipedia - cea in engleza si romana vorbeste despre el relatv echilibrat, in comparatie cu... (NB - cea in romana este relativ echilibrata, in comparatie cu ce? acus vedeti!) - insa, pasajele prezente in articolul despre Dughin in Wikipedia de limba rusa sunt mult mai interesante, in opinia mea, desi redau mai jos doar criticile si sustinerile pentru Dughin:

По словам известного американского историка Вальтера Лакера, «Дугин пытался на протяжении многих лет представлять синтетические новую идеологию, смесь некоторых наиболее постыдных западных элементов (итальянский неофашизм в стиле Юлиуса Эволы, "Новые правые" Алена де Бенуа во Франции, и неонацистская геополитика). Позже он понял необходимость некоторых конкретных русских элементов и принял обновленный вариант евразийства». Американский политолог Стивен Шенфилд в своей работе «Русский фашизм» утверждал, что «ключевой для политических воззрений Дугина является классическая концепция "консервативной революции", направленной на ниспровержение пост-просвещенческого мироустройства и установление нового порядка, в котором должны быть возрождены героические ценности почти забытой "Традиции". Именно приверженность данной концепции позволяет четко идентифицировать Дугина как фашиста». По мнению Умланда формулировки ряда текстов Дугина, особенно ранних, близки к идеям НСДАП, вплоть до прямого заимствования терминологии и стилистики нацистов. Так, в книге «Гиперборейская теория» Дугин пишет: «Этой книгой мы кладем начало 'ариософии' в русско-язычном контексте»; по словам Дугина
|арий, в сущности, определяется не столько биологией, сколько той метафизической миссией, отражением которой во плоти является сама его биология. Арийская раса Субъекта — это раса нордических воинов-священников.
Обвинения в путанице во взглядах и противоречивости[править]
По словам Тимура Полянникова,«многие специалисты, бравшиеся за исследование дугинских теорий, приходили к выводу, что искать в них какое-либо единство или внутреннюю логику попросту бессмысленно — слишком пестр и противоречив набор идеологем, которые Дугин транслировал в разное время на разные аудитории (как сказал Лимонов, "чего спрашивать с Дугина, он же сказочник"). Более того, кое-кто полагает, что вообще все дугинское мифотворчество можно понять, только исходя из колебаний внешнеполитической конъюнктуры»[3]. Алан Инграм утверждает, что сочинения Дугина характеризуются «противоречиями и путаницей, которые несколько затрудняют их интерпретацию и обобщение»[34]. Парадорн Рангсимапорн характеризует Дугина как «политического хамелеона, представления которого приспосабливаются к окружающей среде»[35]. Возражая им, украинский исследователь, бывший координатор Евразийского союза молодёжи в Севастополе[36][37] Антон Шеховцов считает социополитическую доктрину Дугина по-своему крайне последовательной, ввиду того, что в контексте фашизма различные — даже внешне противоречащие друг другу — идеи целеустремленно интерпретируются в духе определённого фашистского ядра, по принципу «цель оправдывает средства», и взаимное противоречие идей не имеет значения, если они подтверждают выгодный автору тезис[34].
Обвинения в невежестве[править]
Биофизик Борис Режабек [38], анализируя защиту Дугиным диссертации, которая прошла 20 декабря 2000 г. в Ростовском государственном университете и называлась «Эволюция парадигмальных оснований науки (Философско-методологический анализ)»[39] приводит примеры анекдотических, по его мнению, ошибок в школьном курсе физики, которые он увидел в диссертации. Так, Режабек пишет, что
«Дугин уверен, что второй закон Ньютона выражается формулой F=mv[40] (очевидно, в голове автора основной закон динамики фундаментально перепутался с формулой кинетической энергии, а может быть, и с формулой Эйнштейна, что и породило нелепое выражение на стр. 108 диссертации). Уравнение Шрёдингера, по его мнению, звучит так: энергия (постоянная) частицы равна частоте волны, умноженной на h (постоянная Планка), а импульс частицы, который меняется в поле сил от точки к точке, равен постоянной h, делённой на длину соответствующей волны, подобным же образом меняющейся в пространстве.» (с. 144) Этот пассаж напоминает анекдот о двоечнике, который сдаёт экзамен по физике. Его спрашивают: «Чему равна постоянная Планка?» Он пишет: h=3. «Чепуха! Но скажите хотя бы, что такое h?» — «А это высота этой планки!» Примерно такого же уровня вся эрудиция Дугина в области физики, хотя он и очень «образованность хочет показать», жонглируя такими словами, как «суперструны», «фракталы», «дао-материя»[41].
Также, по мнению Бориса Режабека, она содержит абсурдные высказывания в области философии: «так, Лейбниц и Ньютон для него — "полупрофаны", поскольку не до конца посвящены в идеи розенкрейцеров; Архимед и Евклид с Пифагором виноваты в том, что человечество научилось мыслить не только в категориях власти и подчинения; к тому же, по Дугину критерии науки "ясно связаны с англо-саксонским ареалом, в первую очередь с Англией", а это уже, считает Борис Режабек, "очевидно пахнет зловредным влиянием атлантистов. О том, что наука Европы начиналась прежде всего в Академиях Италии, он как бы и не подозревает"».[41].. Присуждение Дугину учёной степени Борис Режабек называет «фарсом»[41].
Критика взглядов Дугина националистами[править]
Одновременно Александр Дугин подвергается резкой критике со стороны радикальных националистов, которые обвиняют его в интернационализме, видя в его построениях продолжение советской имперской идеологии, только лишённой марксизма[42].
SI IN FINAL LAUDELE, conform Wikipedia (vedeti si cine il lauda si sustine):
К идеям Дугина положительно относятся такие общественные и политические деятели, как журналист Первого канала Михаил Леонтьев[43], высокопоставленный сотрудник Администрации Президента РФ Иван Демидов[44], декан философского факультета СПбГУЮ. Н. Солонин[45], ведущий программы «Судите сами» Первого канала М. Л. Шевченко[46].
Писатель и публицист, главный редактор газеты «Завтра» Александр Проханов сказал, что
Александр Дугин — выдающийся русский человек. Это звезда, встающая на нашем небосклоне. Во многом ему нет равных. Он проходит огромные исторические пласты, воскрешает прежние архетипы. Дугин совмещает русские традиции и модернистский авангард. Думаю, что его евразийский пафос обладает такой притягательностью, что будет собирать толпы поклонников и последователей. Дугин — один из ярчайших идеологов наших дней.[1]
Председатель Исламского комитета России; постоянный член Организации Исламо-арабская народная конференция (ОИАНК); член Совета Левого фронта России; депутат Национальной ассамблеи Российской Федерации Гейдар Джемаль:
Дугин и есть такой подлинный интеллектуал. Может быть, среди всех писателей прошлого лишь Достоевский немного коснулся специфики подлинного интеллектуализма, потому что время от времени его герои вдруг как бы останавливаются, осенённые, поражённые страшной, единственной мыслью, которая вырывает их из колеи обыденного существования, и они потом уединяются от всяких контактов, разговоров — додумать эту огромную страшную мысль. Неважно, что это за мысль, важно, что она всегда грандиозна, парадоксальна по отношению к внешнему миру, к той среде, в которой они находятся. Шатов, Кириллов — это классические прообразы подлинных интеллектуалов, которых смог описать только Достоевский. В этом смысле Дугин — интеллектуал по Достоевскому. Подлинный интеллектуал — это человек, для которого собственная мысль важнее его физического существования.[47]

A business colleague was in town this Friday, and booked lunch for us at BOA. While the ambience and service was fine, the food was marginal at best, especially considering the price. I started out with the gorgonzola baklava, which was somewhat interesting, but certainly not memorable. My cohorts both ordered the ahi tune tartare, which neither finished.
My entree was one of the daily specials, an anise rubbed seared ahi tuna, which sounded great. Despite the fact that it was rare, the meat was tough, and the rub had virtually no flavor whatsoever. I had to ask our server for salt & pepper to give it some flavor.
Meanwhile, my business partner is chowing down on a chicken sandwich that looks like it was cooked on a George Foreman grill, and surprisingly, it had more flavor than both my appetizer and entree combined. But one could get a similar dish at Applebee's, I would think, and was certainly not my idea of a creative dish that In would expect at a place like BOA.
In a nutshell, I can't imagine why this place is still in business. I am unable to entertain how anyone would want to return to this joint.
Is the location on Sunset any better?

" Brand: Birds Eye / Type: Frozen Food "
I adore fish. Whilst I like plain fish such as Cod and Plaice and the likes baked in the oven and as natural as possible, occasionally I do like a bit of cod or the likes in batter or breadcrumbs. With my bad diet of late I have tried to stop eating batter (I live by the sea now lol) so the other day when I spotted these in Asda costing £1.00 a box (on offer) and with breadcrumbs on I simply had to give it a go!
The Packaging:
White and light blue oblong shaped box with a seaside looking background and a photograph of the fish on the front I am told that it is Birds Eye Seaside Specials, '2' Natural Fillets In Crunchy Breadcrumbs and that they are a natural source of omega 3 and that they contain no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and that they are made from a whole fillet and there is an at a glance nutritional chart on there. On the back of the box other information stated includes ingredients, allergy advice and a full nutritional chart is stated, I'm told how to cook the fillet/s and contact details for Birds Eye Ltd are given. Nice enough packaging this is and its informative enough of course.
The Fillets:
All you do with these small and rather thick looking fillets is to cook them from frozen for about 25 minutes in the oven. Simple enough to do that is!
When they come out they look very evenly covered in orangy coloured breadcrumbs and appear hard and rather crunchy.
Taste wise though these are superb on flavour/s. Not too greasy because they have been oven cooked the breadcrumbs although hard have a nice seasoned taste to them and the crunch against the soft fish that is encased within them is pleasant!
The fish used is Pollock and its white with no skin or bones in it at all, it's moist and easy to eat and again well seasoned. I like the way that the breadcrumbs on this are rather thick giving alot of texture to the dish!
All in all these are of fabulous quality. Not too fishy but of course it is fish so it a bit (lol) the textures and natural flavours this have are excellent and I won't hesitate in purchasing them again time and time again in the future for sure!
Nutritional Information Per Fillet:
Calories: 265
Sugars: 1.2g
Fat: 9.6g
Saturates: 1.2g
Salt: 1.2g
Available in all good supermarkets etc costing about £1.82 a box (unless on offer like when I found them!).
I got these as they were a super bargain in Sainsburys for 99p!! (not sure what the original price was sorry).
For 99p they had to be worth a try and I'm pleased to say that I was pleasantly suprised!
'Seaside special' is in fact Alaska pollock fillet wrapped in crunchy breadcrumbs. ( I have seen ones in batter but have never tried these)
You get 4 fillets per pack (480g)and each fillet provides 265cal, 1.2g sugars,9.6g fat (1.2g sat fat) and 1.2g salt.
The pack boasts that they are a natural source of omega 3 and closer inspection shows its actually 49% of your RDI in each fillet.
There are also no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.
As this is a frozen product the shelf life is quite lengthy of about 18 months!
They are easy to cook in 25 minutes in the oven (180 oC Gas mark 6)turning half way through (although I did forget to do the turn and still tasted great!)
The fish was really tasty, I have heard that pollock is the cheaper alternative to cod but I actually preferred it as there was much more flavour to it. Sometimes I find cod a bit too subtle in taste.
The colour was lovely and white and there were no bones at all (although the box states even though great care is taken to remove them, some may remain).
They are very convenient on lazy days when you just want to put something in the oven and it means you do not have to comprimise on taste or the health kick!! ( weight watcher points 4)
I would definitely buy these again especially if they were at this price- less than 25p a fillet is great value!
Unfortunately not suitable for those who suffer against allergies of mustard, wheat or fish.
Comes in a fully recyclable box.

Stifel Nicolaus Reiterates Buy, $13 Target on Dice Holdings
Stifel Nicolaus maintains its Buy rating and $13 target price on Dice Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DHX) on positive growth expectations despite lagging hiring in Euro Finance.
Stifel says, "We view Dice Holdings as a good secular growth story that is experiencing some cyclical pressures in its finance segment right now. At the DHX investor presentation, recruitment trends seemed to be slightly more positive in tech than conveyed on the 3Q conference call. That said, activity in the finance vertical (particularly in Europe) continues to moderate. Management maintained its 4Q and long-term outlooks. With shares trading at a 12% free cash yield on 2012 estimates, we view the company as attractive."
DHX closed at $7.63 per share on Thursday.

Sure it does. However you really shouldn't confuse a MILF with The MILF or the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
They are a rebel extremist group in the Philippine Islands, in the South China Sea. The MILF are fighting for increased powers for the Muslim community. Their original aim was the liberation of the Bangsamoro Land; an area to the south of Mindanao (the second largest island in the Philippines and one of the most important).
The MILF want control of the area returned to the Muslim people.
The MILF was officially formed in 1977 by local Moro Muslims in the area. Since then an estimated 120,000 people have died in the conflict between the MILF and the government. The MILF have kidnapped important government officials and other high-profile targets and have attacked security forces. They've also been responsible for bombings of civilians. Guys, could you not just sit down and talk it through?
The Philippines are made up of 7,000 islands, but most of the population only live on 11 of these. When the Spanish conquered the islands in the 1500s they called the locals "moors". The word literally means "black" in Greek. This later merged into Moro. Nothing like a bit of casual racism to make friends and influence people.
The Philippines were given independence in 1946. However the area's Spanish history is clear; most of the population are Catholic, apart from small pockets of Moro Muslims in various areas.
You mean, apart from having the awesome acronym "MILF"?
Well, The Moro Islamic Liberation Front are in the news this week. They've started handing over their weapons after peace talks with the government. In return the government will pay out 25,000 Philippine peso (around £350) to 145 members, designed to give them a chance at a new start in the community. Somehow I can't see the British government following suit and giving cash to extremists.
In the south of Mindanao island the majority of people are Muslim. Thanks to the deal more powers will be given to them; they'll be allowed to govern under Islamic Sharia Law. The Philippine government will keep control over foreign policy and the economy.
The deal with the MILF has taken around 17 years to succeed. Better late than never, I guess? But not everyone is convinced. The peace deal didn't go down too well in the Philippine Congress due to a fight in January where many police were killed.
And despite the Moro Islamic Liberation Front having around 10,000 soldiers, only 75 weapons have been handed over. So, it may be a while before we hear the end of the MILF.

The weather wasn't great yesterday, but for the Calgary Stampeders, it was Summers time.
With the help of fellow returner Markus Howell and punter Burke Dales, Demetris Summers and the Calgary Stampeders special teams units won the battle yesterday in a 22-18 West final win over the B.C. Lions.
When the Lions kicked their third field goal to go up 9-0 in the first quarter, they kicked off for the first time.
Summers fielded it and went 51 yards as kicker Paul McCallum knocked him out of bounds in front of the Stamps bench.
After the Stamps forced a safety shortly afterwards, the Lions booted to Markus Howell, who went 34 yards up the opposite sidelines and got a huge block from Summers.
McCallum booted another field goal, and Summers took that one back 53 yards to help set up the game's first touchdown.
"They didn't know where to kick it," Howell said. "Demetris hurt them early. They come across the field to me.
"I hurt them. Then they went back to Demetris again. I said OK."
Howell, who later had a 20-yard punt return, had two rough games against the Lions this season. He injured his groin at B.C. Place in August, then left the season-finale with a neck stinger, so this win was great redemption for him.
The story gets even better for Summers, who is in his first season with the Stamps and who thought last year at this time he would never play football again.
"I was out for four years and to get involved with this great group of guys is amazing," said Summers, who fought through ankle problems earlier this season and played through a knee injury yesterday.
"It was back and forth with me all year. When I came back in the second time (off the injured list), I knew I had to step it up."

Braves never serious contenders for Damon
Braves never serious contenders for Damon
Damon reportedly chose his next employer on Saturday afternoon, when he agreed to a one-year deal reportedly worth $8 million with the Tigers. The deal is pending the results of a physical.
MLB Network's Jon Heyman confirmed the agreement on SI.com on Saturday evening. More than 10 days ago, the Braves offered Damon a one-year contract that included deferred funds. While the present-day value of the offer was never specified, a Major League source said that he believed the offer was for less than $4 million.
When the Braves gained confidence that Damon had a genuine desire to play in Atlanta this year, they opted to make this offer with the understanding that they would likely be outbid by the Tigers or another Major League club.
As time passed and there was reason to wonder if Damon would provide a surprise by accepting their offer, the Braves started to wonder if his value would outweigh the cost of altering their current plans for their outfield mix.
While the Braves likely would have utilized Damon as their leadoff hitter, they seem confident in Nate McLouth's ability to improve while serving in this role again this upcoming season. The center fielder has fueled this confidence since improving his vision with contact lenses.
The Braves believe Jason Heyward will exit camp as their starting right fielder, and they are confident that Matt Diaz and Melky Cabrera will form an effective platoon in left field.

David Wright's voice never rose above a whisper.
The Mets third baseman hardly showed any emotion, despite a stellar offensive performance that contributed to a 9-0 win over the Cardinals Wednesday.
He didn't rejoice in his team's good fortune: 15 hits off five Cardinals pitchers. Nor did he celebrate his own stat line: three hits including a two-run, opposite-field home run in the first.
Said Wright, who now has eight homers, "It's just one day."
That may be true. But in the wacky world of Mets baseball, where walking down a few dugout stairs can be hazardous to a player's health, many would consider this type of offensive output cause for celebration.
The injury-ravaged Mets erupted for an uncharacteristic nine runs, doing so without Luis Castillo, who sprained his left ankle in Tuesday night's dugout accident.
"I think the big thing is we've had guys step up," said Jeff Francoeur, who went 2-for-3 with a double. "You might see a couple new faces every other week just from injuries, but as a team you have to overcome that and you can't make excuses even though it's easy to."
The unlikeliest of contributors was emergency reliever Nelson Figueroa, who entered the game with two outs and two on in the second after starter Jonathon Niese left with a right hamstring strain.
After getting out of the jam, Figueroa delivered a two-run triple in the bottom of the inning. He scored on a sacrifice fly by Angel Pagan. Even Bobby Parnell, who worked three innings for the save, recorded his first career hit.
Pagan went 3-for-4 with four RBIs, including a two-run blast in the eighth that landed just to the left of the Home Run Apple in center.
"It feels good just to give the team the opportunity to score some runs, and keep doing well in the top of the order," said Pagan, the team's leadoff hitter who finished a double short of the cycle.
Still, all that offense wasn't enough to put a smile on Wright's face.
"We've got to find some more consistency," he said. "Not necessarily going out there and having this type of day every day and not getting too high, not getting too low. Hopefully there's some consistency in our future."
