I was invited to keynote the Career Professional Development Event this week hosted by CIPS Vancouver and held at BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology). With proceeds going to scholarships, Neil Johnson, President of CIPS Vancouver provided a convincing argument [to reschedule my existing conflicting commitments] when he requested I share my experiences, and provide career lessons. The event also provided a great opportunity to dialogue with the organizers, speakers, and guests. I would recommend putting the event on your calendar for next year. I would also recommend attending this year's biggest educational event for IT managers and professionals, the CIPS INFORMATICS conference held in Victoria May 28th to May 30th. I'll be there as well as resident bloggers Barnaby Jeans and Bruce Cowper. It would be a great chance to talk and collaborate.
Back to the Career Day; I enjoyed the experience and ended my talk with career tips from international experts that I contacted the prior week, asking them to share their experiences. I thought--why not share them with you in a series of blog posts. So here we go:
"All too often technologists receive ample training in their field (of technology) but fail to seek training in the all important area of communications. If you are unable to explain your vision for the technology you are using to the all-important decision-makers in your organization, you are likely to fail. Use your free time to take a course in public speaking or business communications. Good communications skills will help you in all areas of your life."
Roger Sessions, Founder and CEO of Object Watch Inc.
"I just did a Webinar with the staff at Certification Magazine last week, and the firm that conducted that publication's recently-printed 2006 salary survey. To me, the most interesting datum in that fascinating bit of statistics and market analysis was the emergence of the PMP (Project Management Professional) certification in the top 5 ranked credentials as they correlate to compensation. I believe this is a profound testament to the need for IT professionals to cultivate and develop "soft skills" - especially people skills, as well as oral and written communications skills - and the first real tangible evidence that IT is maturing as a profession. I think the general subject of soft skills [is important] and why it's a good idea to develop them if you want to advance in your IT career (especially if your sights are set on either top-level technical or management tracks)."

Drug Logo Overdose
On my last visit, while waiting to get my blood drawn, I sat in a make-shift waiting area that was crammed to the rafters with boxes of freebies from drug companies. This wasn't a sample closet--or even a sample walk-in closet--it was a sample studio apartment. And when they called me in to get my blood drawn, they handed me a squishy ball with--well, you know what was on the squishy ball.
I couldn't help but notice it and wonder why on earth my doctor would want or need all these silly and tacky items. Surely the cost of pens and sticky notes and mugs couldn't be that exorbitant, could it? Could it be worth the cost to her image? Worth the cost of my questioning whether she's looking out for me or the well-dressed drug company rep in the waiting room?
SMDC Health System in Duluth, MN, put a price on all of those freebies the drug companies handed out each year: $100,000. That's how much they decided it would take them to buy their own pens and whiteboards and a long list of other items. And SMDC's administrators decided that $100,000 was a fair price to pay for office supplies that don't scream drug companies can buy us off with cheap trinkets.
"This shows people we're not in the pharmaceutical companies' back pockets," Kenneth Irons, chief of community clinics for SMDC, told the Star-Tribune.
Many practices, hospitals, and health systems have already banned doctors from accepting free lunches and trips and other big ticket items that patients can't actually see. But the SMDC policy goes a step further, getting rid of the logo-packed perks that patients can't help but notice.
And kudos to them: In cleaning out all the drug company freebies, they also made sure that their own image remained untarnished.
Thinking of just saying no to drug company logos and other perks? Consider these sources:
- Learn more about SMDC's decision to say no to logos.
- No Free Lunch is a nonprofit group of practitioners who oppose drug company freebies. They offer, among other things, a pen amnesty program.
- Healthy Skepticism is another nonprofit group that aims to improve health by reducing harm from misleading drug promotion.

VERMILION — The Sailors kept throwing jabs and the Eagles kept answering with haymakers. In the end, Avon had to hold on to win on points.
The Eagles used a dominant first half to forge a 20-point lead before Vermilion stormed back with a late surge that fell five points short in a 52-47 Avon victory.
"I'm glad it's over," Avon coach Jen Larrick said. "We're going to go back to practice tomorrow and get ready for Midview on Saturday."
The Eagles (8-4, 5-1 West Shore Conference) seemed to have things firmly under control in the first 12 minutes of play. They closed the first quarter on a 13-1 run to take a 19-6 lead into the second, then used a 15-6 run early in the second quarter to take their biggest lead of the game.
Brianna Conroy hit the only 3-pointer of the game at the 4:26 mark of the second to give Avon a 34-14 lead.
Vermilion (6-5, 3-3) scored nine of the final 13 points of the half, but still trailed, 38-23.
Sierra Davidson, Avon's 6-foot-1 senior center, was unstoppable in the first half. She scored 15 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots before the half to help the Eagles run out to the big lead.
In the second half, Vermilion senior guard Hanna Bartlome got hot. She scored eight points in the third quarter to cut the Sailors deficit to 13 at 46-43, then added seven in the fourth. Vermilion cut the Avon lead to six points, 50-44, on a pair of Ali Kowal free throws with 1:58 left in the game, but could not convert when it counted most.
Three times Vermilion had the ball, down six, with the chance to pull closer. Three times they turned it over.
Alyssa Douzos hit a pair of free throws before Kowal scored in the final five seconds of the game to account for the final score.
Davidson ended the game with 24 points, 16 rebounds and six blocks while Douzos had nine points and seven steals for Avon.
"Sierra played a great basketball game tonight," Larrick said. "She played physical, she played strong, she was crashing the boards offensively and defensively. We've been talking to her, these past few weeks, about getting the scrap points. When your guards are shooting outside shots there are going to be rebounds. Get that rebound and finish it."
Vermilion coach Colin Irish was pleased with how his team rallied in the second half.
"I'm really proud of how the girls fought back," he said. "If we make our layups and free throws, who knows what the outcome was. With our team we have to scrap and do the little things well. We did that for the better part of two and a half quarters. The other quarter and a half, not so well."
Bartlome paced the Sailors with 20 points while Kowal added 15.
Davidson said her team remains in search of a signature win.
"We're halfway through our season and still looking for that game to turn the corner," she said. "We're 8-4 now and need that one game that's going to propel us…turn our season around. We're having a great season and we're almost there, but we need that moment that will define us as a basketball team."

" Genre: Action / Manufacturer: Microsoft "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Gears of War is a third-person shooter where you play Marcus Fenix and fight an ugly race of aggressors called the Locust who years earlier rose up from their underground lair and battered the humans living on the planets' surface into near extinction..
The gameplay has an emphasis on taking cover, which lends a basic tactical edge to the blasitng. Often you'll have to leap or 'roadie run' between cover, and the Locust are fond of surfacing through sinkholes where it really isn't convenient, so there's a element of tactical planning and a somewhat larger element of happily blasting baddies.
There's a reasonable variety of cool weaponry on offer, the Lancer assault rifle is good fun as you get a satisfying gory cutscene if you manage to hit someone with the chainsaw bayonet.
The only bad thing is the weapons feel underpowered, it takes nearly a whole clip to drop one bad guy although shooting them in the face kills them a bit quicker.
The campaign focuses on Marcus and his friend Dominic fighting through a variety of environments to trigger a Lightmass bomb which should wipe out the Locust. You can play the campaign alone or with a friend playing Dominic.
The aesthetic of the game is similar to Warhammer 40k - your marines are grim and excessively muscled and overcompensating with their firepower, and the architecture of the cities you fight in is suitably gothic.
The graphics are great - on a HDTV there's some truly incredible helicopter crashes and other set pieces. There's not much music aside from the odd swell during a cutscene or a climactic battle, but the voice acting is acceptable if a little gravelly.
You can get this game for peanuts these days and I would recommend it - there's easily a long weekend's entertainment on offer.
I totally fell in love with this game the first time I played it! The PC version is better in many ways to the Xbox 360 version, because it features better graphics and new content (with the ability to ride on a Brumak (a giant beast that is filled with rocket launchers and all kinds of other death dealing abilities!).
Story: Centred around a team of 5 'Gears', who are desperately trying to fight off the ever advancing Locust (beings that have lived underground for many years) and whom humanity managed to really annoy and they have come to the surface! It really makes you feel for the characters' plight!
Gameplay: The addictive gameplay comes from the fact you can hide behind waist-high walls and fire a variety of weapons at the enemy. The Locust come in all shapes and sizes (from the tiny infantry class to the massive boomers) and you can kill them in a variety of ways (through tagging them with grenades), to chainsawing them in half with your bayonet (which never gets old). Other weapons include the Hammer Of Dawn (a giant orbital weapon that allows you to laser your enemies to death)!
Graphics and Sound: The colour grey has never looked quite so good in this game, with the PC being able to stretch the environment and character models to their limit! The guns all sound great, with the haunting music in the background really setting the background in this Gears game!
The online mode is also hilarious, with all the abilities (including chainsawing other players) to be used and with a load of great multiplayer maps really finishes the package!
This is a copy from my profile at Ciao.co.uk, I wrote this review, it is not copied :).
Gears of War is a third-person action game created and developed by Epic Games. It is published by Microsoft and features the Games for Windows Live DRM, which may be a problem for certain players, if their internet connection doesn't work with their servers.
Gears of War is a third person shooter, following a squad of rather large men who have guns. The twist, the fact that they have Chainsaw Bayonets. You must shoot, saw and grenade your way throughout your surroundings, and I can assure you, it's fantastic.
To tell you the gameplay is bad, unoptimized for PC or bland would be pure unauthenticated lying. This game employs a few new ideas, such as the chainsaw bayonet, but that's not really what makes the game fun, what makes the game fun is the way it's all executed. The camera wobbles as you chainsaw someone through the stomach. The room lights up as you fire from your squad at the locusts as they slowly rise from the ground, the blood flying as a rogue turns the corner just as you pull your trigger.
It's all very satisfying, and is one of the better things about the game. The gameplay is highly commendable and is one of the most engaging third person games I've played yet, and I'm most certainly looking forward to playing through cooperative with my friend.
The graphics in this game know how to utilise the grey colour spectrum, but not a lot else, at least that's what it seems. The colours in this game are extremely far from vibrant or bright. I believe that it's just the game trying too hard to be dark and gritty, but it doesn't really take anything away from the core experience. At times the screen can be a little dark, which means you may have to turn your brightness settings up, which you cannot (annoyingly) alter during gameplay.
The blood in this game looks a little like ketchup, when it's flying everywhere the game could be mistaken as an advert for Heinz, the gore doesn't look particularly realistic and the explosions could use a little more oomph. Additionally, in one of the cutscenes, there is a shiny, yet partially demolished car. A shiny-metalled cars in a wasteland like the one portrayed in the game must be a very uncommon sight, it's only on scene for a couple of seconds, and it's quite hard to overlook, especially since it's right in your face, but then again, it's not affecting gameplay so it's all right.
The screaming of the Locusts, the manly, grunting comments of the main characters and the aggressively buzzing sound of chainsaws are all present throughout the game. It's all fantastic and it's easy to listen to (although the main characters have voices so gravelly that you're surprised that they haven't taken a day job telling stories about past wars in semi-dramatic fashion). The sound was quite important to the atmosphere, specifically the music, and I really enjoyed the game. The sound was thoroughly enjoyable.
Value for Money/Longevity
The very uniqueness of this game is fantastic. It's easy to play, fun to play, and extensively re-playable, specifically in multiplayer. You can play the campaign through with anyone you wish, you can unlock achievements to push that game a little bit longer, and you can easily spend fifteen hours having fun on this game. The longevity is great and the value for money is fantastic, truly a great buy (although I did buy it cheaper than the offer suggested on ciao.
Difficulty and Complexity
Well, Gears of War is a little more complex than your average game. The story isn't that hard to follow and the mechanics aren't hard to grasp, but the game is challenging without being brutally unfair throughout. The regular checkpoints make it so dying isn't too punishing and yet you still don't want to fall in battle. It makes getting through the fray first time extremely rewarding, and most of all, it makes you feel awesome.
To tell you that the multiplayer in Gears of War is generic, boring or unbalanced would be unfair. The Gears multiplayer is based entirely on skill. It's hard, it's challenging but it's a fantastic feeling when you beat every other player of the game is a battle of tactics and aim. The multiplayer component of the game has an additional game mode over the Xbox 360 game of the same name, but there is very little in this game that would make it worth buying as well as the console version. The multiplayer is well optimized, a little hard to find players and not too laggy. Fantastic fun, I say.
Content Watch
Gears of War is by far one of the least suitable games for children. Here's a run down of the content
This game has a lot of violence, in fact, the sheer bloodiness of this games combat is one of it's selling points. If you can find a third person game with more bodily fluids on the screen than this one, I'd be surprised.
When you use the chainsaw, the chainsaw goes through the body of the person/thing you are killing. It's extremely graphic and quite nasty to look at. The bodies slump lifeless to the floor after you've killed them.
Being shot or shooting at people produces splurts of blood to appear, they don't stay long and a look a little bit like ketchup. The game still shows it's gory with this though.
The grenades can dismember and kill the characters that scatter the game world quite brutally in true ragdoll-flail fashion. The physics engine takes a play here showing the game as the flying pieces of body flies about with a realistic sense of gravity.
The game is very, very violent. However, there is an option in the menu marked 'Extreme Content', which you can turn off. This turns the blood in the game to sparks and removes some of the gorier effects such as dismemberment. The game is still violent at it's core, even with this off, but it's got less impact when the extreme content is off.
The language in this game is strong at times, with the marines dropping words like 'f***' at times of great sadness, annoyance of stress. The main characters also regularly use the word 's***'. There is some other, milder language throughout.
The stronger language (f***) can be turned off in the extreme content button, but the milder words (s***) remain scattered throughout the game, albeit in a lesser quantity.
Sexual Content
It is implied that one of the characters has a 'two year old kid' at home. It implies that the characters had sex and the man is a father figure, but it's a puny reference compared to the gory content in the game.
Content Conclusion
With the full graphic effects on, this is a fairly adults only game, with gore and language around every corner. With the extreme content off, the game is still fairly violent and grim to play, but some of the impact is taken away, making it playable by perhaps a mature teen.
Full Conclusion
I conclude that this is a fantastic, fast paced and frantic third person game that surpasses most of the games of it's genre. It's one of my favourite action games around and I could easily recommend it to anyone (who I believed mature enough to play it). If you like the gorier games with cover systems, you should go and play this right now. If not, you should still go and play this right now.

Game crippling bug solves
There is a bug in this game due to the fact that the anti cheat certificate has expired on the Games for Windows Live. This causes a message to appear telling you that you 'cannot play the game with a modified executable'. This can be fixed by either not playing with a modified executable (if you modified it) or by changing your system clock to 2007 (for the time you're playing the game, ensure you change it back otherwise your computer will act up severely after finishing, because it will not detect current security certificates on sites such as Hotmail or Ciao up to date).
Gears of War is a great game on the Xbox 360. It is not, however, on its PC port. This is a game that's riddled with errors and glitches, chiefly that it was packed with a coding problem that meant a large portion of players would not be able to play the game for more than 10-15 minutes at a time without it crashing. I was one such player, and upon looking up my error message, realised that it was an erroneous port that had caused the problem, and the game's developers were not hasty in releasing a patch, either. I had to find my own solution through changing some registry code, and it didn't really set the tone for a port that's not a touch on the original Xbox 360 version.
What I do admire about this game, despite how poorly it has been ported, is that it has a nice level of difficulty: nothing is impossible, but it's a bit more challenging than most modern games of the genre, and does not allow you to just "go Rambo"; you have to cover a lot and be strategic. However, ALL you have to remember is to cover, and the game isn't that hard: there's not much more else to it.
Visually, however it is very good, and is quite well optimised to run on pretty average rigs. It has some amazing textures and stunning animation, but it is worth saying that the blue/dark colour-palette does get repetitive quite quickly. The lighting, though, is excellent, and really helps heighten the intensity during the chase sequences. Also, the camera movements that mimic documentary-style filmmaking are superbly done, as is the motion blur used when you run. This is aided by some impressive sounds: the soundtrack is intense and heightens things further, while the gun sound effects pack the appropriate punch.
Avoid this and get the 360 version unless you want to be infuriated by errors.
This game is set a planet called Sora where these human soldiers are fighting against what seems to be an alien species only known as the locust. The game is a war simulation shooter.
You play as Marcus Fenix who gets let out of jail to help out in taking out the locust horde as he is fully awesome. He was sentanced to death for dereliction of his duty but now let out to fight and help them again.
The graphics in this game are very nice, they look great. The game plays at awesome frame rates with good spec PCs and the characters, environments and all the game is fantastically animated in the graphical style of the game.
The game is mostly about cover and firing however you can choose to take the silly path of going in shooting like crazy. However the duck and cover system in this game is very effective as it is simple to use and alway slooks good as you go from one cover area to another.
The in gam\e guns are awesome and varied, there are pistols, machine guns, rocket launchers etc. The locust are varied in game and you will find yourself fighting with some very large creatures at times which look brilliant.
Overall this game is one the most brilliant shooters out there at the moment.
If you haven't heard of this game before then you must have been living under a rock, this is one of the most hyped games I can remember. It first came out on the Xbox 360 and now it has been made available for the PC.
The story is bleak you are a prisoner Marcus Fenix, the world lies in ruins with the alien attackers the Locust Horde still ruthlessly killing. You are in charge of a small squad of soldiers acting as a resistance to the threat. The story is well told.
The graphics are relatively good but this game has been out for a while. The cutscenes are even better. I used the keyboard and mouse control method and it works well enough. This is not a first person shooter it is a third person shooter. One of this games unique points is its "run and cover system". So usually when you see enemies you will have to duck behind objects and pop out and shoot them when they appear. This makes the game repetitive as you run, duck, shoot enemies and move on.There is a co-op mode and up to 8 player online matches but you need to have a Live membership.
I guess for a while it lived up to the massive hype that it received but personally I didn't think it was massively special but of course many critics and many fans will disagree with me on this. You'll enjoy this if you like a good story, good graphics, plenty of action but are looking for a fresh game to play.
Gears of war 2 is a cover and fire game and has been developed by Epic Games for the console Xbox 360: it deals about a squad of soldier that fight to save humans living on the imaginary planet Sera by an unrelenting enemy known as the horde of Locustae.
The player is Marcus Fenix: he was a soldier during the Pendulum Wars and saw thing changing on Emergence Day. He fought the Locustae for years, and once he left his place to visit his father, Professor Adam Fenix, he was sentenced for dereliction of duty and sentenced to forty years in prison, but released ten years after. He may fight with the friend Dominic Santiago in the multiplayer mode, where the two soldier may join into the squad Delta, and they fight against the Horde of the Locust during a campaign.
What I did was to enter the official web site of the game: a prompt input ask you for your birth date, then you are sent to a screen where videos are available. I did so and a diagnostic task started. The game start and there is a subjective shot and you may operate with the mouse to move around and to discover object.
As you click on object a scanning start. It follow a video on the argument with audio to give you clues about the game. There is a pink round button, to left click to stop the narration, and keep the game on. After a few minutes I started playing, I found a gun machine and shortly after I found ammunition boxes.
Always remember the pink round botton is necessary to exit the current scene.
The official web site, www.gearsofwar.xbox.com , contains a lot of documentation, expecially about your weapons. You posses a Boltok pistol, that is a high calibre magnum,
that is really fire quickly and is fast to rearm and fire again. You have also a grenade launcher, that looks aggressive, and it is so. You may take down a target in one shot, if you get the ability to point and shot. I have to admit that reloading is a bit slow.
A very powerful weapon, made to be used with only one arm, is indeed the Gnasher shotgun, with a terrible force per single shot. You may kill an enemy by simply pointing and firing once. There are more weapons that I suggest you to discover as playing this new adventure game. I prefer you discover on your own the excellent.
So Gears has been out for absolutely ages on XBOX 360, and its been highly known as one of the best games on the genre - if not the best game. So many of my friends had this one and recommended it when released on PC. I didn't get round to buying it as I was working my way through other PC games which I personally found more appealing.
How wrong I was. Now that I finally purchased this game, I think it is possibly my favourite and I can't leave it alone at the moment. Now if you go to a website such as Amazon and check out the PC review for the game, there are many complaints about it having bugs etc. Now I can only write my review based on my personal experience - and while of course I don't think the reviewers are lying, I personally have not come across a single issue with this game so far. Maybe Im just lucky.
In the character your a soldier named Marcus who gets let out of prison early to come and help the team fight off these invasions of enemies called 'Locusts'.
The game is so simple in its essence that I find it hard to believe how fun and rewarding it is. The game is basically a cover and shoot game, such a simple idea - but so efficiently implemented. I never thought you could have so much fun with the same cover and shoot system over and over again. Of course you are not just limited to cover and shoot, you can roam as you please in battle zones, but you won't last very long.
The game has a lovely array of weapons, and there is a very rewarding reload system on the weapons whereby if you time it perfectly, you reload is about twice as fast, so you can get on with the action quicker. This works tremendously well.
The story in the game is OK. It's a bit here and now as opposed to really unveilling what is going on in the long run, but I think the gameplay is so good that it makes up for the slightly weak story thus far.
The graphics are absolutely fantastic. There is a lot of attention to detail, and your team and the enemy both look fantastic - in different ways of course. Your team are bulked up human soldiers with lots of facial detail and lots of detail on the apparel they wear. The enemy are these ugly species called Locust, and they do look rather terrifying - giving the game an intense and enjoyable feel.
The sound too is great. And the music that comes on when you have finally defeated a group of locust in a battlezone is highly satisfying to say the least. The weapons sound really good and the enemy make highly relevant ugly noises. It's all just really well done.
Because its a cover and shoot game, there is less of the 'flanking' and other terms you associate with enemy AI. Nevertheless the AI works well and when playing the game on 'Hardcore' it certainly is a challenge, but a do-able one, which is important. I really can't imagine how hard 'Insane' must be. I think I'l leave that one alone for now!!
Im hesitant about recommending this game on PC purely because of the amount of bug issues that has been reported, to the extent of some people saying its the most bugged game ever! But from personal experience, and that is of course all I can go on, I haven't had a single issue, and I have found this game absolutely amazing, and would highly recommend it based on the rewarding gameplay alone!

Thames OK after foul ball hits eye
Thames OK after foul ball hits eye
Thames swung at a 2-2 pitch from Scott Proctor and the ball ricocheted off the bat directly into his face. The impact sliced open the outfielder's eyelid but vision tests came back normal. Thames is currently listed as day to day.
"That's kind of a scary moment," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. "At first, you thought it hit him in the helmet, to take the helmet off, but it was a direct blow to the eye and then caromed to the visor and took it off.
"But I think, right now, he's fortunate that the laceration is the only thing that is sustained."
Thames wanted to remain in the game but Farrell and the club's medical staff noticed the area around the eye was starting to become swollen. He was taken out of the game to undergo further examinations and rule out a possible concussion.
The 24-year-old rookie spoke to reporters after Toronto's 3-0 victory with a noticeable cut that started on his eyelid and extended just below his left eyebrow. The injury did not require stitches, and Thames thinks he'll be fine moving forward.
"I think it looks worse than it actually is," Thames said. "Tomorrow we'll see if it's swelling and what not, but it should be OK.
"I got away with it. I'm lucky."
Thames is batting .259 with 10 homers and 33 RBIs in 85 games this season.

2014 Isla Vista killings

On May 23, 2014, in Isla Vista, California, near the campus of University of California, Santa Barbara, Elliot Rodger, a 22-year old junior college student, went on a misogyny-fueled killing spree, murdering six people, wounding thirteen more, and finally committing suicide when confronted by the police. In the aftermath, Rodger's manifesto attracted much attention from the media and the blogosphere for its disturbingly callous attitude towards women.
What happened[edit]
The killing spree involved ten crime scenes in the town of Isla Vista,[1] beginning in Elliot Rodger's apartment, where he stabbed three men to death, two of whom were his housemates and another who was either a visiting friend or living there temporarily (accounts differ). It is uncertain when the stabbings occurred, and it may have been while all three were asleep.
At around 8:30pm on the day of the shooting, Rodger was seen parked in his BMW outside his apartment, working on his laptop. This appears to have been when he uploaded his "retribution video" to YouTube,[2] and emailed his manifesto to about a dozen people, including his mother, father and therapist. The video was uploaded at 9:17 and the manifesto emailed at 9:18, only a few minutes before the first shots were reported at 9:27.[3]
Rodger drove to Alpha Phi sorority house to start his shooting spree. The manifesto states that he chose this target as "after doing a lot of extensive research within the last year, I found out that the sorority with the most beautiful girls is Alpha Phi Sorority", and that he intended to "sneak into their house at around 9:00 p.m. on the Day of Retribution, just before all of the partying starts, and slaughter every single one of them with my guns and knives" before burning the sorority house down.[4] In reality, nobody let him into the sorority house, despite him banging on the door angrily for several minutes, and instead he started shooting passersby with his handgun, killing two women and wounding another.
After this Rodger embarked on a rampage, driving to several locations (largely around Del Playa Drive, a popular party area for students) and stopping to shoot pedestrians, as well as hitting some pedestrians and cyclists with his car. He killed three people and wounded thirteen others, either by shooting them or running into them. Rodger also shot at but missed a number of other people. Police responded swiftly and exchanged gunfire with Rodger, who eventually crashed his car and was found dead in it from a gunshot wound to the head, almost certainly self-inflicted.
All six of his murder victims were students at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Elliot Rodger's background[edit]
Following the shootings, numerous pieces of evidence came to light regarding Rodger's mental state, personality, opinions and motives, most notably his infamous "retribution video" and biography-cum-manifesto.
Elliot Rodger had a YouTube channel, where he posted video monologues expressing his loneliness, alienation, sexual frustrations and embittered worldview.[5] He also kept a blog with similar content.
In the weeks leading up to his killings (which he had planned for months or years, according to his manifesto), his videos became increasingly disturbing, intimating or promising "revenge" for his suffering. One or more of these videos caused Rodger to be reported to a mental health helpline (possibly by his mother; this information is unclear), which resulted in a police visit on 30 April. However, Rodger managed to persuade the officers that there was no cause for concern, and they left without searching his apartment or taking further action.[3] Rodger's manifesto also recounts the incident, and he reacted by pulling his videos offline and taking more care to hide his activities while planning the massacre.[4]
Rodger uploaded his final video, the now infamous "retribution video",[2] on May 23rd, mere minutes before the shooting started. In the video, Rodger, seated in his car, calmly stated that "tomorrow is the Day of Retribution, the day in which I will have my revenge against humanity". This may indicate that the video was filmed the previous day and only uploaded on the evening of the killings. However, since Rodger was observed sitting in his car for at least half an hour on the evening of May 23rd,[3] and since his manifesto indicates that he actually intended to carry out his primary massacre on May 24th, it seems possible that the video was in fact filmed on the evening of the May 23rd with the intention of carrying out the shooting spree the next day, and Rodger simply decided for whatever reason that he just couldn't wait. If this is true, then the video shows the cold detachment of somebody who was not only about to commit a brutal mass shooting, but had already stabbed his three housemates to death at the time of filming.
The video lays out Rodger's massacre plans, his motives, his hostility towards women, and his bizarre worldview, themes which he also addressed at greater lengths in his manifesto. Displaying his almost total lack of self-awareness, Rodger saw no contradiction between his violent "revenge" and his self-image as "the perfect guy":
You girls have never been attracted to me. I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me — but I will punish you all for it! It's an injustice; a crime. Because I don't know what you don't see in me. I'm the perfect guy. And yet you throw yourself at all these obnoxious men instead of me, the supreme gentlemen. I will punish all of you for it. Heh! [smirk]
After describing the massacre he intended to commit (at the sorority house and on the streets of Isla Vista), Rodger also vented his scorn for humanity:
I hate all of you. Humanity is a disgusting, wretched, depraved species. If I had it in my power, I would stop at nothing to reduce every single one of you to mountains of skulls and rivers of blood. And rightfully so. You deserve to be annihilated.
In the immediate wake of the shootings, the video attracted huge attention from the media as well as the police, and was soon pulled offline by YouTube as a violation of their policy against violent content. It was subsequently reposted by third parties and appears to have been approved (presumably because of its news relevance) with a content warning.
Rodger's "manifesto",[4] posted online within hours of the killings, is actually more of an autobiography with some pieces of badly thought-out ideology included. Much of it concerns (almost typical) lonely teenage angst about not having friends or (in particular) a girlfriend, but this is tinged throughout with irrationally violent rage at boys who did have girlfriends and especially at girls themselves for (understandably) rejecting and despising him. Rodger believed that couples (usually complete strangers to him) should be "punished" for "the crime of having a better life than me" and fantasized about torturing or killing them, a fantasy that developed into his "Day of Retribution".
The manifesto makes it abundantly clear that Rodger was a conscious and devoted misogynist. Not only did he regard women's attention and sexual favour as something he was entitled to and wrongfully denied, but he believed that "women should not have the right to choose who to mate and breed with" and "women are vicious, evil, barbaric animals, and they need to be treated as such". The manifesto ends with a fantasy about his idea of "a fair and pure world" in which women would be "quarantined" in concentration camps and starved to death, other than a few kept in laboratories for breeding purposes where "they will be artificially inseminated with sperm samples in order to produce offspring". He believed that sex should be outlawed, saying that "If I can't have it, I will destroy it." He was also a racist on top of it, harping on about how he was descended from British aristocracy and hated to see "ugly black filth" with white girlfriends. (Ironically, Rodger himself was mixed-race, with a white British father and a Chinese-Malaysian mother.)
Despite being such a repellent character, Rodger (ever the nice guy) believed himself to be a "magnificent gentleman" and even (as he became more intent on carrying out a grand massacre) "the closest thing there is to a living god". The manifesto ends with these words:
I will punish everyone. And it will be beautiful. Finally, at long last, I can show the world my true worth.
And nothing good happens after someone writes that--although his actions did, at least, show his true worth.
Mental health[edit]
Rodger was being treated by multiple therapists. Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office revealed that in 2007 he was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), an autism-related disorder, with his autism evaluation scores below the autism and the autism-spectrum cutoffs.[6] A psychologist has stated "there is no proven connection between the diagnosis and [Rodger's] violent behaviour."[7] He wrote that he had been prescribed risperidone but refused to take it, because his "research" led him to believe it was "the absolute wrong thing for me to take."[8] [9] After turning 18, Rodger began rejecting the mental health care that his family provided, and he became increasingly isolated. He claimed that he was unable to make friends, although acquaintances stated that he rebuffed their attempts to be friendly.
Forum activity[edit]
Rodger was a frequent contributor to the manosphere, most notably on PUAHate, a website bashing pick-up artists but populated mainly by self-identified "incels" ("involuntarily celibate") and other malcontents. The site was taken down as soon as its connection to the murders started to gain publicity. He was also actively posting messages of the same character and sharing his videos on Bodybuilding.com's forum, where some local forum members characterized his contributions as pertaining to a serial killer.
Parts of the media and various feminists pointed out the misogyny angle, some referring to Rodger as an MRA. Various MRA sites and personalities switched into full defensive mode, dismissing any possible connection between Rodger's ideas and their rhetoric, and going on the offense, decrying the "politicization" of the murders by feminists. Many, sadly also outside the MRM, went as far as to claim that the murders were not caused by misogyny, blaming mental illness instead (as if it couldn't be both at the same time)— something that would need medical assessment first. A particularly odious form is the claim that because Rodger killed more men than women (his 3 roommates and a random person on the street) or any men at all, this couldn't have been motivated by misogyny. In addition to playing "no true misogynist", this also conveniently ignores a pile of evidence — the contents of his videos and his manifesto and his unsuccessful attempt to enter a sorority house, which he followed immediately by shooting three women outside (only one survived). If this had been successful, the body count would be very different.
The killings provoked many feminist responses, the most widespread of which was the hashtag #YesAllWomen, inspired by the irritating "not all men" argument used to derail critiques of negative male behavior towards women.
"Not all men" is the defensive whine from men who take critiques of structural violence and injustice personally. Thus, while many men claim that they do not and have not harassed women, treated them badly, or raped them, #yesallwomen is a statement that all women have at some point been sexually harassed, objectified, or violated by men. Within 24 hours of the killings, Twitter was full of women posting about their experiences of abuse at the hands of men[10] and the precautions they have to take against them.[11]

Guadalajara, or La Perla del Occidente (the Pearl of the West), with its year-round temperate climate, is a favorite destination for tourists and expatriates living in Mexico. Considered the "most Mexican" city, it offers all things typical: great mariachi ensembles year round and an international mariachi festival in September. Other attractions include charreadas (rodeos) that combine great horsemanship and cattle handling skills with splendid costumes and still more mariachi music; and tequila, with attractive day trips to the original town, Tequila, or rowdy excursions to a tequila distillery on the Tequila Express.
Mexican craftware is at its best here too, with easy excursions to the nearby villages of Tonalá and Tlaquepaque to stock up on quality goods and souvenirs. Religious pilgrimages and colonial splendor are also part of the picture in the miraculous Virgin of Zapopan, whose basilica is a comfortable taxi ride from the center.
Guadalajara downtown has big city attractions such as history, museums, architecture, art—especially the grand Instituto Cabañas—markets, and regional cuisine without most of the problems, apart from traffic, which is frankly a drag. Its inhabitants, known as tapatíos, of over four million make it the second most populated city in the country, with the Universidad de Guadalajara being the second largest university in Mexico and the tenth largest in the world. High-tech plants in the suburbs have led to its nickname as the Silicon Valley of Mexico and its soccer (fútbol) teams, Chivas and Atlas command a great local and national following.
The English language weekly newspaper, The Guadalajara Reporter, provides a good orientation for visitors.
Despite its size, Guadalajara does not have the notoriety for crime that mars Mexico City. However, pickpockets are fairly common and tourists are advised to be alert, carry only the cash they need for the day, and have their credit cards and other valuables hidden. An excess of traffic, speed bumps, and insufficient places for parking are problems in the city, and visiting drivers should be careful not to park illegally because they will get towed.
Police support is generally good for foreigners who are victims of crime. North American citizens in need of assistance due to crime or medical emergencies are encouraged to call the U.S. U.S. Embassy in Guadalajara. U.S citizens who are detained or harassed by police should also seek assistance at the Consulate. The American Citizen Services Unit and the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Consulate maintain very good relations with local police officials and can assist upon request.
Guadalajara smog is typically at its worst from November to early February and tourists with respiratory ailments might prefer to avoid these months when planning their visits. For IMECA (Metropolitan Air Quality Index) updated hourly reports, visit the Guadalajara Secretary of the Environment's online report (0-100: satisfactory, 101-200: not satisfactory, 201-300: bad, 301-500: very bad).
The hottest and driest months are March and April, during which you will need a sun hat, sunblock, and plenty of water when sightseeing. Although it is advisable to take taxis from a sitio (legitimate taxi stand) rather than hailing them on the street, especially at night, Guadalajara does not suffer from the ugly taxi cab crime that has caused so much concern in Mexico City.

Income inequality starts at the top
To the Editor:
In his letter to (Dec. 24) Mr. Jay Dugan makes a good statement of the notion, near and dear to the hearts of conservatives, that a person should work to support themselves, and that what they earn should be determined competitively in the so-called free market. This, however, is only part of what is involved in income and the matter of income inequality.
Another aspect, the problem part, can be illustrated with an example. A business operation produces revenue. Some of it goes to pay for raw materials and overhead, things like rent and utilities. How should the rest be divided?
There are basically three candidates: owners and investors through dividends, workers through compensation and the public through environmental protection and affordable prices.
The problem today is that investors are taking more than they arguably deserve, certainly more than is healthy for our economy. Workers are being extorted out of their compensation with threats of relocating their company, the environment is being harmed by lax regulation, and greed-inspired profit taking leads to prices that are unaffordable for an increasing portion of our population. Arguably much of this dividend income is not "earned" as much as it is being "taken," simply because investors have the power to do so, but this is unhealthy. Today dividend income is largely hoarded, not invested. If "invested" it is in stock market speculation, not in production.
Income equality is about everyone receiving what he or she has earned. It is about fairness and about sharing the wealth of our nation, which is what one would expect in a just and caring society.

Review for Clinica Verde, Angwin, CA, USA
Clinica Verde is one of those few charities that really make a difference. Although small compared to some of the big mammoths, they treat the people that they help as human beings that are exactly the same as we all are, with similar neds and desires, rather than as poor people that need help. Clinica Verde believes in sustainability - in more than one aspect - and in doing things together and locally, and it puts its money where its mouth is on all these points. They are a group of extremely dedicated people, who through this dedication, and through old-fashioned very hard work, get things done!

BOULDER, Colo. Mike Moschetti passed for four touchdowns and ran for another, and the Colorado defense had four interceptions as the Buffaloes upended No. 24 Oklahoma 38-24 on Saturday.
Moschetti, who missed last week's game against Iowa State because of post-concussion headaches, completed 22-of-31 passes for 382 yards, including 49- and 88-yard scoring tosses to Javon Green.
Colorado (5-3 overall, 4-1 in Big 12) generated 537 total yards and held the nation's third-best passing attack to 317 total yards. Besides the four interceptions two by cornerback Ben Kelly the Buffaloes sacked Josh Heupel three times.
Oklahoma (4-3, 2-2) led briefly at 3-0 and 10-7 in the first half, but Kelly's two interceptions both of which occurred in the first three minutes of the third quarter set up 10 points for a 24-10 lead.
Heupel threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, but each time Colorado countered with a score of its own.
Sooner receiver Jarrail Jackson turned a screen pass into a 50-yard gain on the final play of the third period. Four plays later, running back Reggie Skinner caught a 6-yard shovel pass from Heupel, cutting the deficit to 24-17 with 14:02 remaining.
But Moschetti promptly scrambled for a 23-yard gain to ignite an eight-play, 80-yard scoring drive capped by his 14-yard TD pass to tight end Daniel Graham with 10:29 left.
On fourth-and-9, Heupel hit Jackson, who had beaten Kelly deep, for a 49-yard scoring play with 8:37, making it 31-24.
Colorado scored again, however, just 39 seconds later. When cornerback Pee Wee Woods fell down, a wide-open Green caught Moschetti's pass down the left sideline and went 88 yards for the score.
Two subsequent Oklahoma possessions ended on another interception and an incomplete pass on fourth down.
Heupel completed 26-of-58 passes for 328 yards.
Colorado lost its leading rusher, Cortlen Johnson, to a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee in the first quarter.
Sooners defensive end Cornelius Burton suffered a neck injury early in the fourth quarter. Burton was assisted by medical personnel for about 10 minutes, was removed from the field strapped to a gurney and was taken to a hospital for X-rays. A team medical official said Burton had movement in his legs.
Moschetti's first two TD passes gave Colorado a 14-10 lead at halftime.
Jackson returned the first punt of the game 54 yards to the Colorado 28-yard line, setting up Tim Duncan's 27-yard field goal.
Later in the quarter, Moschetti led the Buffaloes on an 11-play, 80-yard scoring drive, hitting Marcus Stiggers on a 14-yard scoring play.
After Colorado was pinned deep in its own territory, Oklahoma took possession near midfield. Heupel completed 5-of-7 passes, and Seth Littrell ran 2 yards for a touchdown and a 10-7 lead with 4:03 remaining in the half.
Colorado countered just 1:18 later when Green caught a short pass from Moschetti, then sprinted away from the defense for a 49-yard scoring play.

Simple safety feature, at a great price that makes you and your loved ones perfectly visible in any weather. Backpack with reflective strip on a very large distance creates a dark background to contrast that driver at spotlit immediately sees. Therefore we have enough time to react to stifle and pedestrians safely circled! It is suitable both for trips and for casual traveling to work, for sport or for fun. In addition, it can be worn either classically over both shoulders, or as a simple bag of sports equipment to over one shoulder. Its use will ensure safety when walking in areas where car traffic.
"See and be seen" - a basic rule of safety on the roads. Difficult for visibility at night, rain or fog pedestrians and cyclists become virtually invisible to the driver.

Looks great! Plz release it soon, but only if you think it is ready.
Posted 01 April 2009 - 09:02 PM
Hmm, this looks pretty good. Maybe add some hair (not much, more of a 'military cut') and lose the 'ringbeard' (it's overdone and looks bad on Niko to be honest).
Maybe a stubble beard (like normal Niko)... or just drop any 'facial hair' at all?
Keep it up!

Thanks for comments dudes, I already made a face without any beard but in my opinion, Niko doesn't look nice without any beard. I guess this is a question of taste. I'm gonna add some more details on his face now and release it soon. Other suggestions are welcome.

In the still shadows of the confessional, a madman tauntingly reveals his plan for a murder he is going to commit, pulling Father Thomas Madden into a twisted game by disclosing his next intended victim: Tom's sister, Laurant. In a frantic race to protect her, Tom calls upon his best friend, elite FBI agent Nick Buchanan, to track the predator who is closing in on Laurant. Now, as an electrifying attraction grows between Laurant and Nick, so does the danger - and one false move will cost both of them everything that matters.
©2012 Julie Garwood (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Heartbreaker moves along at a racehorse pace, its plot swerving and darting with sudden turns and jolts.... Garwood's characters are well drawn." (New York Post)
"Fun and Funny"
Some of the most delightful characters are found in this book. I want more of them. The narration is wonderful. The story about Lois nearly tickled me silly.
"FBI to the rescue."
I am huge fan of Julie Garwood's older books and I like her newer stuff, just not as much as I enjoyed her Highlander or Regency books. This book is good but I wouldn't say great. I didn't connect with the characters as well as I would have liked. I have a hard time when the main characters are lacking any flaws. One thing that annoyed me is that we never hear the stories being told about Nick and Tommy only that there are stories and that they were funny. Maybe she was going for heartwarming and not funny because I didn't laugh. Narrator was okay, the recording had a few instances where the sound would drop, it usually only last a couple of seconds.
I happen to like the narrator Tanya Eby and that is why I decided to get the book. I don't know what happened with this book. After 5 hours in I just couldn't continue and I rarely ever do that. I will either speed up the narration so at least I finish the book. But I figured maybe I would go back to it. But I can't - why waste my time when there are so many other books out there I might enjoy more. So sadly disappointed.
"No struggle here."
If you were following my pitiful reviews you will know I have had a few disappointing books. Been trying to decide what has been driving me up the wall. Maybe it is the narrators who just read it to me. Whoever this one was took the time to draw the picture of the voices with hers. Impressive. Really good book.
"Great story!!!!!"
I like the narrator when she does her women voices the men not so much, love Garwood and her stories this one as well as Mercy have a bite the story is suspenseful enough that keeps it interesting, yes I would recommend this to other people, I can even see this made into a movie.
"Narrator was a Heartbreaker"
I quit listening to this story because I could no longer take the narrator's voice. From the very beginning, it was like listening to an automated operator or Siri read a book to me. I stuck around for a few chapters because the story line was intriguing but I finally gave up.
"The Formula Reigns"
First, I enjoyed this book and Tanya Eby's performance with exception of her attempts at a French accent. Julie Garwood's writing made the rather predictable plot enjoyable. However, I've tired of the worn out character devices--The beautiful, sexy, young woman is sucked into love with a virtual stranger who is overwhelmed with lust. The lust translate to irrational overprotectiveness, blah, blah, blah. The lust affair interrupted the flow of the story while adding little to move the plot forward. It is unlikely that I'll purchase any more books by this author.
"Too Juvenile, Just Couldn't Get Through It!"
Got this book on sale use one credit, get two books. The reviews looked promising stating it was a chiller with romance and humor, which can work together when you have a good, grown-up plot and funny lines. I am not finding this to be the case with this book. I should have known when one of the grown-up characters was named Tommy:) Sorry Garwood lovers....
"Couldn't finish it"
Story was weak, narrator awful!.
Won't be wasting anymore credits from this author or narrator.
"Not Garwood's Best"
The book itself is not Garwood's best. There is a lot of editorial issues For example one character refers to a pair of sheets instead of a set of sheets. There are a lot of other such problems. Beyond that, there is way too much unnecessary narration that doesn't add to or carry the story.
This makes for a mediocre story way less than the quality expected from Ms. Garwood.
Add to that a horrible performance of the narration. The heroine starts out having a little accent that is even referred to in the narration, but very quickly the accent goes away and never comes back. For the rest of the book her voice is simply Miss Bedroom voice.
The male voices are horrid. Nothing else can be said about them.
The narration pulls the already mediocre story into the 2 star rating.

I have had outbreaks of both herpes and shingles for over 40 years. I have managed to keep them under control since I increased my D3 to about 6200 IU daily.
Both sugar and stress suppress the immune system. The key to good health is for us all to find ways of alleviating stress. Be sure to avoid high arginine foods such as chocolate and nuts which compete with lysine during an outbreak.
If I feel anything coming on, I immediately increase ascorbic acid to bowel tolerance, add a few packets of Lypospheric-C at night, increase activated quercetin and D3 to 50,000 IU along with a couple extra EGCG tablets.

Rand Criticism, Again
Lots of people have emailed me, wondering about my opinion of the recent article on Ayn Rand, entitled "As Astonishing As Elvis," written by Jenny Turner, which appears in The London Review of Books.
I don't have much to say about the article; a full response would require an article of equal length, just to rebut all the arguable misinterpretations and misstatements therein.
For example, at one point, Turner makes the following statement:
Sometimes, she wore a mink coat to deliver her speeches, paid for with compensation received from the Italian wartime government (the Fascisti had liked We the Living so much they had filmed it, without Rand's say-so).
Well, yes, Rand did receive royalties from the Italian government because of the unauthorized filming of We the Living, but Turner neglects to mention the fact that the film, which was initially green-lighted by the Fascisti for its anti-communism, was eventually pulled because people were responding positively to its individualism and anti-statism... two political "no-no's." Why not mention this? I suppose it is just a lot easier to leave the reader with the distorted implication that the Fascists and Rand had an ideological affinity.
I could go on and on, but there's not much that I'll say here that I haven't already said here and elsewhere.
I had a few brief email exchanges with Turner while she prepared her article. She had contacted me strictly with regard to an essay written by Slavoj Zizek, which appeared in The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies. As it turns out, it is because of that Zizek essay that JARS got a brief mention in Turner's article. (Even that mention contains an implicit error. Turner states: "A peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Ayn Rand Studies, was founded in 1999, and continues to run out of New York University..." In actuality, I am a Visiting Scholar at NYU, but the journal is not run out of New York University, and has no affiliation whatsoever with the University.)
Interestingly, while Turner mentions briefly Zizek's postmodernist critique of Rand's politics, she fails to mention Zizek's admiration for Rand's portrait of human authenticity in The Fountainhead or his admiration for the way in which Rand herself handled her Affair with Nathaniel Branden (an episode on which Turner focuses as well). I pointed out here Zizek's own words on this subject: "Rand did not cheat. ... To show such firmness in the most intimate domain bears witness to an ethical stance of extraordinary strength: while Rand was here arguably 'immoral' [in the conventional sense, a reference to the extramarital affair], she was ethical in the most profound meaning of the word. It is this ethical stance of inner freedom that accounts for the authenticity clearly discernible in Rand's description of ... Howard Roark."
As I have already stated:
[I]t's fairly typical that discussions of Rand end up becoming discussions of Rand's life. In these instances, however, biography doesn't supplement a discussion of ideas; it often supplants that discussion entirely. Even the New York Times, which has reviewed many Rand works, has never actually reviewed any books about Rand, unless those books are of a biographical character. Reading the Times, one would not even know that there is a growing secondary literature, a veritable industry, of scholarship focused on Rand's ideas.
Well, in all fairness, it should be pointed out that Turner does focus on Rand's ideas, but Rand's philosophy is presented as a stick-figure caricature of itself. And while Turner mentions that books on Rand are being published, the springboard for her essay is Jeff Britting's mini-biography on Rand, a handsome little book, but not one focused on Rand's ideas primarily. Indeed, no books in the vast and growing body of scholarly literature on Rand's ideas are examined in Turner's article, just as they are never mentioned in the New York Times Book Review or the New York Review of Books or anywhere else in the mainstream press.
But that scholarship continues to be published by university and trade presses alike, by organizations, institutions, periodicals, and individuals with vastly different perspectives on Rand. I am confident that at some point this literature will be given the attention it deserves.
Comments welcome. Noted too at L&P.

Where could a textbook be more important than in a school where students will eagerly sit in the hot desert sand for a chance to learn from teachers who have little more education than themselves? Where could a thrilling story bring a greater sense of escape or hope than in a camp where refugees have been stuck for eight years, with no prospect of returning home?How can we get Darfuri refugees the books they need? You can help by simply buying a book for yourself.
Caption: A young mother attends class with her baby on her back in Djabal refugee camp. Many girls drop out of school or attend classes very irregularly once they get married and even more when they have babies. Early marriages and early pregnancies- as young as 11 or 12- prevent girls from having even basic education. Djabal, eastern Chad, August 10, 2007.
More than 250,000 Darfuris live in refugee camps in eastern Chad, most of them children. They are some of the world's most vulnerable people, and they need books for their education and psychological well-being. Buying this book directly helps people like 16-year-old Farihalh, going to school in Djabal Refugee Camp, achieve the dream she told representatives of the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR: "I want to become a minister, Minister of Darfur." This is real.
This book, What You Wish For: A Book for Darfur, features stories and poems that captivate, inspire, and offer hope about things we all wish for. Together with Darfur advocate and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Mia Farrow, who wrote the book's moving foreword, the authors contributed to this amazing collection for free so that all the proceeds could be used to fund libraries in Darfuri refugee camps in Chad.
Caption: Teacher Cherif Khamis Ahmat Chogar gives a class in Djabal camp and is about to question his student Farihalh (in blue on the right). "We need chairs and tables for the children" laments Cherif. Djabal camp, Eastern Chad, August 13, 2007.

Mark Messier was all hard edges when he was the star of the National Hockey League, strong, rough-hewn, and looking all but invincible.
But the man who captained both the Edmonton Oilers and the New York Rangers to Stanley Cups had his points of vulnerability. He was "devastated" by concussions that ended the careers of teammates Mike Richter and Jeff Beukeboom.
"Mike Richter had small children but couldn't even pick up his own baby for the longest time without feeling dizziness and nausea. Jeff suffered depressions," Messier told The Globe and Mail this week.
"When you see close friends of yours hurt to that degree, you wonder what could have been done. Mike Richter still can't lift any weights. If he gets his heart rate up, he feels sick."
The NHL legend is doing something about the issue, piloting a helmet project for a Cascade Sports - a U.S.-based sports equipment manufacturer with a new technology which the company claims will reduce the possibility of concussions.
Messier will join globesports.com on Monday afternoon to talk about the concussion problem plaguing hockey players of all ages and skill levels.
Send the Hall of Famer your questions on the issue using the Comments function on this story. We'll cull the best of them, and provide his answers Monday on globesports.com.

Hi...which Sponge Recipe Do Use And You Prefer??
Baking By leannes cakes Updated 11 May 2013 , 6:50am by leannes cakes
AHello, I've been cake decorating for 2 years now as a hobbie and I am hoping to go into business soon but I am still struggling to find the perfect cake recipe that cooks and tastes perfect..... Which recipes do you prefer for sugarpasted cakes? Thankyou : )) xx
Welcome Leanne.....
I always use the weight of unbroken eggs ie; 4 eggs is approx. 8 -9 ozs
so then the same amount in SR flour, caster sugar and marg/butter plus a teasp on baking powder.
Then substituting some (rowntree's) cocoa powder for a chocolate cake....at least an ounce!
I have never used a box mix....you will find on here that the resident Americans are split in their opinion of using boxes or scratch recipes.
Good luck
AAww thankyou very much!! I will give that way a go as ive never thought of doing it that way : ))

We are able to provide health & safety support, through our range of consultancy services
- Development of Safety Management Services
- Development of Policies, Procedures and Plans
- Training needs analysis
- General Risk Assessments
- Specific risk assessment such as DSE, Fire, Legionella

In the harsh litigious society we exist in, together with tough trading conditions currently experienced, no company can afford to ignore health & safety if they want to be successful. However, many may need some help to achieve this. If you want the best from your workforce, they need to feel safe and secure at their place of work. Not only is individual safety linked to increased productivity but HSE studies have concluded that there is a direct quantifiable link between investment in safety systems and the return in reduced accidents and the associated costs. Unfortunately, some companies never recover from accidents or incidents and go out of business.
Health & safety is a very heavily covered by legislation and at times it must be bewildering for many companies and their management to know what they need to comply with. Train to Safety can help to ease the burden and help to unravel the puzzle of achieving the right balance in your business.
