Nick Canepa warned me about the Turf Club. Said the U-T's silver-haired columnist, "A (bleeping) wonderful place."
Having never attended a Del Mar opening day, I cautiously walked down the stairs from the press box's sixth floor, past floor five, into the fourth floor Turf Club den.
It's like walking into another world. A world of beautiful people. No jeans allowed. Jackets a must for men. Dresses/skirts only for women. The Rich and Want To Be Famous. A kaleidoscope of colors, hats. Women poured into dresses. Women pouring out of dresses. A silicone confab.
"You know what my husband calls it?" said one woman. "An augmentation convention. You come to see what the latest augmentation is."
Rest assured, breasts are still No. 1.
If you're into clothes, male and female, and I am, enjoying both, this is a fashion holiday. On the men's side, judging from today's scene, linen suits are more popular this summer than Seersucker, a trend I approve of. Tastes were split between open collared shirts and ties. Me, I opted for a gray suit, lavender shirt, completed with a lavender/gray tie.
"Sounds like an Easter egg," said U-T news assistant Larisa Emina Casillas, who wasn't in attendance to enjoy the display.
I saw men in pink pants and orange jackets. Ostentatious, though, was not the norm. The men, for the most part, lived up to the word dapper.
As for the women, well, I played this one like the veteran I'm not. I sidled over to a wall, next to a venerable security guard, and observed.
Dressed to the nines? Women were dressed to the 99s.
Bright red hats, feather caps, straw hats, black brims, a cowboy hat, purple, yellow floral hats. There was a woman with a gold, 1920s style headband. And heels? Much ice will be applied to ankles tonight.
Canepa and I left on our Turf Club excursion at the same time. Nick returned long before I did.
"Norky might be dead," Canepa told Del Mar PR man Dan Smith. "People might be stepping on him."
I survived. My eyes, though, were not wide shut.

A son of Italian immigrants, Louis Zamperini (1917-2014) was a U.S. Olympic runner, World War II bombardier, and POW survivor. After the war, he returned to the United States to found the Victory Boys Camp for at-risk youth and became an inspirational speaker. Zamperini's story was told in his 2003 autobiography Devil at My Heels, as well as in Laura Hillenbrand's 2010 biography Unbroken.

Going against the grain, I have to say that my experience with o2 has been thoroughly positive. Having been a pay-as-you-go Virgin Mobile customer for a couple of years, I decided it was time for a change. Like others, I felt that I had ?outgrown? p-a-y-g ? in the sense that I was using my phone a lot more than most non-contract users too and I wasn?t getting particularly good value for money. Despite the fact that the texts were only 10p (as opposed to 12p on most standard network p-a-y-g tariffs) and just 3p if you sent to another Virgin user, the calls were generally quite expensive and I was paying at least £30 a month. I knew that if I converted to a contract phone, chances are I would get a much better deal and would probably get an up-to-date handset thrown in too. The Changeover to O2 Online 100 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Changing over to a contract mobile from p-a-y-g was painless and actually quite enjoyable. Although becoming an Orange customer initially appealed to me, I soon realised that my choices were restricted due to the rural location of my home and hence the reception quality was a key deciding factor. Fortunately my fiancé is very much ?in the know? about communications technology, and he soon tracked down a brilliant online tariff for me with o2 ? namely Online 100 (http://shop.o2.co.uk/choosetariffs). This tariff offers 100 inclusive minutes to any network any time of day, 500 inclusive WAP minutes, up to 1MB of data allowance and most importantly, 500 free text messages (or 125 media messages [e.g. pictures])! As someone who primarily uses their mobile for text messaging, this seemed a brilliant offer. If I had used 500 text messages using my Virgin deal it would have cost me £50, so I figured that it was worth signing up for the text messages alone! Selecting the
tariff and choosing a mobile was relatively easy as I knew pretty much what I wanted in advance. I chose a Sony Ericsson T630 as it was the updated version of the T610 ? which my fiancé had ? and I knew it was a handset that I liked and would get on with. I opted for next-day delivery which I paid just less than four pounds for ? there is a cheaper option but then you don?t have the luxury of specifying the delivery date. And sure enough, the next day my mobile arrived (the credit check evidently having passed without hitch!) so I excitedly unwrapped the bundle and plugged the phone into the charger immediately. The Service ~~~~~~~~~ I have nothing but good things to say about the service that I have received, but then I haven?t as yet (touch wood!) had any problems. My case was perhaps a very straightforward one: there were no glitches with my credit checking and I didn?t want to have my number transferred from my old SIM (always a good way to prevent old flames getting in touch anyway!) I am aware that others? experience of O2 hasn?t been quite so positive, but I am hoping that I won?t find the same thing once I need some help. The reception I get is excellent, and the only time I find that the signal sometimes dips is when I am on the train cross-country ? and this is the same for most networks I think. As my contract is an online-only deal, my account is managed online ? where I can look up old bills, my latest bill and even unbilled usage (although this takes a while to be updated). I find it all very easy to use, and was very impressed by the fact that I can monitor my usage throughout the month ? and thus ensure that I stay within the £25 tariff. All in all, I?m a happy customer :o).
I have to say that I am not a big fan of Rimmel cosmetics. Any initial warm-glow that is generated through the apparent money-saving benefits are soon scuppered by the poor quality of the make-up ? and I don?t see anything good or beneficial about that! Today however, when I called into my local Lloyds Pharmacy I noticed a product that caught my eye on the Rimmel display counter. Put it down to my sweet tooth or my occasional craving for something ostensibly feminine (?cause I have to be honest, most of the time I resist anything which I feel I am buying to fulfil my gender role?) but Rimmel?s JELLY GLOSS sheer lipgloss (yes, it calls for caps!) transcended any quasi-feminist concerns and became an instant hit with me. Usually priced at 3.49 for 10ml (0.34 fl oz), it is currently on offer for a pound less at 2.49, which I think is an absolute bargain and worth every penny. The variety I chose was coloured a sexy pink (040 Moreish) and looked much better than the other two, one of which was a shade of orange (I kid you not!) and the other a sort of frosty-white. I must admit to have being partly seduced by the packaging; it?s a sleek, funky tube which stands on its applicator end (which is slanted like a lipstick for glide-on application) and is complete with fashionable bubbly lower case lettering. This is complemented by a shiny futuristic silver horizontal strip across the top, with the cute silver lips just beneath the Rimmel slogan - very Babylon Zoo-esque (for those of you who remember him!) The substance itself is thankfully non-sticky and though it smells wonderful (like a decent shampoo should) it doesn?t taste quite so delightful?It?s not that it?s not sweet or makes your eyes water or anything, but it?s certainly not worthy of the ?delicous? label it is awarded in the blurb on the
back of the tube. Despite the loud colour it didn?t look too crazy on my luscious smakers and stayed on for a decent length of time. My hair didn?t cling to it either! So my advice: if you can get some whilst it?s on offer, grab it, otherwise (unless you?re a gloss addict) give it a miss. Oh, and one last thing, give your lips a gentle exfoliating with a toothbrush first ? there?s nothing worse than glossy unkempt lips?
I?m not an expert on eating disorders, and nor do I pretend to be. I have, however, witnessed first-hand the plight of my sister as she agonises over the fat/calorie content of the food that she may or may not (in her case the latter is most likely) consume. And it saddens me. Greatly. Because we all only have one life, and to spend it constantly feeling so bad about food, about how we behave, and about ourselves is so so wrong. I am not saying that my sister is entirely to blame for the way she chooses to live her life; I do not doubt the damaging effect that our constant exposure to media images of the impossibly thin ?perfect? body has, and I am sure that her less-than-supportive school friends played some small part in her obsession with being thin, but then I also hope that we can all find something within ourselves to overcome all this. I do not find it easy to be happy with my own body, I must be honest. There is not a day that goes by when I do not think about what I am/have been eating and when I do not stand naked in front of the mirror in some attempt to work out whether I look OK or not. My fiancé assures me that I am beautiful and have nothing to worry about, but it?s so easy to put yourself down; to criticise, despise and hate the fat that you see as representative as some sort of failing on your part. We all want to have the ideal BMI and look great all the time, but unless you don?t have a job, work out all the time and constantly eat the right foods this probably isn?t going to happen. What is more important is wellbeing in one?s self, to have faith and to love one?s self is not easy but it is vital. Eleanor Roosevelt once said that ?no one can make you feel inferior without your consent? (?This Is My Story,' 1937) and I like to think that there is some truth in that.
Lavender is not one of the most well-known and well-loved herbs for nothing: it?s versatile, it?s easy to grow and more importantly, it relaxes you. Its name derives from the Latin ?lavare? (?to wash?) as it was a key bathing ritualistic herb for the Romans, and its influence is no less powerful today. It can be used in cooking, in the home and medicinally. Chemically, the active ?ingredients? in lavender are the ethers of linalyl and geranyl, geraniol, linalool, cineol, d-borneol, limonene, l-pinene, caryophyllene, the esters of butyric acid and valerianic acid, and coumarin. All of these constituents change in proportion however, depending on the variety of the plant and the conditions in which it is grown. Growing Lavender ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lavender is a relatively easy plant to grow and you do not need gardening expertise to produce a thriving bush. Its main requirements are alkaline, well-drained soil (it does not like to get ?wet feet?) and plenty of sunshine. One particular variety that I have grown successfully and that is abundant in garden centres at the moment is Butterfly or Spanish Lavender (Lavandula stoechas), although the most common type is Lavandula officinalis, also known as Lavandula angustifolia or Lavandula vera. Lavender can be grown from seed or you can simply purchase a small plant ? during the growing season it will soon develop into a thriving bush. It is worth bearing in mind however that it is not particularly well suited to growing indoors and so should be planted outside. Lavender cross-pollinates very easily, and you may find that if you have several different plants new varieties will soon appear. Aromatherapy ~~~~~~~~~~~ Lavender essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from the fresh flowering tops and it is one of the few oils that is included in the British Pharmacopoeia.
85;sed with carrier oil, it is often used as a massage aid, and works well alone or complemented with marjoram and/or rosemary. It is an excellent resource as it is one of the few essential oils that can be applied directly to the skin (although this is not advisable unless you have some experience of aromatherapy) and very few people develop allergic reactions to the substance. In fact, it is renowned for working well on burns, insect bites and blemishes, and was used as a back-up during the First and Second World Wars when medical supplies became scare. IMPORTANT: in terms of safety, lavender should be avoided in the first trimester of pregnancy, some say this is due to an emmenagogue action. It should also not to be used with preparations containing iron and/or iodine. Uses ~~~~ A few drops of lavender essential oil can be dropped in bathwater or put some pulverised flower spikes in a square of muslin sewn at the edges and use as a body scrubber for a wonderful-smelling exfoliator. If you have trouble sleeping, or need something to calm your nerves before you sleep, place lavender near or in your pillow or put a few drops of essential oil on the cover. To keep moths away and to make your clothes smell divine, put sachets in your wardrobe and drawers. Another way to perfume your clothes is to put a few drops of essential oil in the rinse cycle of your washing machine. Lavender can also be around pet beds to deter fleas; simply break up the flower spikes and sprinkle the fragments in the specific area ? when you come to vacuum this up later it has the added benefit of re-releasing the fragrance. Cooking ~~~~~~ Believe it or not, lavender can be used in cooking and people use it to make everything from lavender honey and tea to lavender lemonade! Such culinary delights might not be to everyone?s tastes, but it is certainly
worth trying everything once. Below is a simple recipe for lavender cookies, which are quick and easy to make: Lavender Cookies 2 eggs 1/2 cup margarine 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon lavender leaves 1 1/2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt confectioner's sugar rosewater Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Put eggs, margarine, sugar and lavender into a blender and run on low until well mixed. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Add other ingredients and stir until well blended. Drop dough a teaspoon at a time on to ungreased cookie sheets. Bake until lightly browned. Blend enough rosewater into the confectioner?s sugar to make a smooth frosting. Ice the cookies and let them set until frosting is firm. So to sum up, it is not hard to see why lavender is so popular and why it has been so useful to people throughout the ages. No longer the reserve of the stereotypical elderly lady with lavender scented perfume, it is something that can benefit all walks of people and quite rightly boasts a reputation as the perfect tonic to the stresses of modern life.

Though I didn't grow up with a copy of RT furnishing the coffee table, it feels like an integral part of my culture and it's a magazine (which is exactly what it is, rather than simply a 'listings' periodical) with which I'm completely at home. Critics may argue that it's overpriced in comparison with similar products on the market, however I believe that it's unrivalled in terms of its high quality form and content. There's a new issue each week, which typically appears in shops on the Tuesday or Wednesday before the 'TV week' begins (running Saturday-Friday). It retails at 88p, which situates it at the higher end of the market – but I believe it is worth every penny. Full of intelligent, witty and analytical discussion, RT provides local and national coverage of programmes on the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five, Digital, Satellite, Cable and Radio. Besides this core material however, there are several other interesting feature sections – which this week (2-8th August) are: *Letters *News *Education *Arts *TV Cops *Family *Living *Soap & Flannel *Puzzles *Feedback *One Final Question (always on the last page) The listings themselves are split into three branches; TV, Film and Radio. They are not simply listings, but complete with a succinct description of the programme's content and if chosen as a 'choice' are accompanied by an even more detailed review. These 'choices' are a selection of programmes which are selected as the best material to watch/listen to that day. I particularly like the Radio listings, as these are just as colourful as those for the TV and are full of pictures – which of course we are not usually treated to with this particular medium! In short, I would highly recommend the RT to those who enjoy stimulating discussion and don't want to miss out on the best TV and
Radio programmes. For more information see www.radiotimes.com or for more specific inquiries email email@example.com.
I've come across few people who can honestly say that they enjoy looking for a job. Being unemployed can lead one to feel useless, financially insecure and without hope. Speaking from personal experience, I can vouch for the sense of desperation that being unable to find work leaves one with. Although I have not yet aimed to find a long-term permanent position (as I am still training for my planned academic career), I am sure that those who have - and do - can relate to my experience. Whilst there are many different approaches that one can adopt towards seeking employment, I have come to realise that there is one universal strategy that is helpful – that of remaining enthusiastic, hopeful and generally maintaining a positive attitude. Of course, it's easier said than done, and believe me I've had days when I've thought that I was never going to find work. It's easy to take rejections and non-replies to applications personally, but it is so important to put these disappointments behind you and instead focus on the next application. So where should I start? ---------------------------- Well, if you're reading this then it's most likely that you have access to the Internet – which is an immensely useful tool in itself. As a starting point, I suggest making a visit to the government's Jobcentre Plus website: www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk Here you will be able to do many things such as gaining access to help and advice on finding a job, claiming benefits and locate information about organisations which work alongside the Jobcentre Plus in order to get people back into work. I've found the most useful component of this site is the ability to search job vacancies anywhere in the UK. Once you find a job which interests you, you simply note down the reference number and then telephone Jobseeker Direct on 0845 6060 234. At the end of the line will be someone who will not
only be able to provide you with further details about the position, but will also be able to offer information about how to apply. Agencies ----------- Besides the government's own organisation, there are also a growing number of recruitment agencies – branches of which can easily be located in most major city centres. For example, I know that both Sheffield in the North and Birmingham in the Midlands have a vast array of agencies which often advertise some of their vacancies on boards which they place on the pavement outside their offices. I find www.reed.co.uk to be an easy-to-navigate and efficient website, although admittedly I have not found any employment through their services. Local Paper -------------- Perhaps one of the most simple and low-tech ways of identifying new job opportunities is by obtaining a copy of a local newspaper, for example, the Birmingham Evening Mail has hundreds of jobs advertised on a Thursday. Word of Mouth ----------------- It might seem obvious to some, but asking friends, family and people around you if they know of any positions vacant can be an extremely effective way of finding work. Putting Yourself Forward ---------------------------- There's probably some specific recruitment term for this strategy, and if anyone knows it I'd appreciate some feedback – but for now I'll stick with my own terms. Basically this approach involves using your initiative and contacting a company/organisation/individual and telling them about your skills and experience (usually compromising of a CV and covering letter) where there is no particular advertised position. Although you might think that there is no point in applying for a job that does not effectively exist, it is actually quite a popular method and I have personally found success by using this technique. Shop Windows ----------------- If you
are sick of being indoors and spending hours on the Internet, get yourself into town and look out for posters in windows. After scouring the net and the local paper, I was amazed to see how many jobs are advertised solely through a shop/office window. Don't be blind to these opportunities!

Puttur: Ummer (40) from Santosh Nagar of Madavu in Kedambadi village died after his Maruti Omni car rolled over at Parpunja near here in the early hours of Thursday.
The incident is thought to have taken place around 3 am. A passerby informed the 108 ambulance. The rural police too arrived from Sampya.
A lot of thatching grass was found spread around the spot. Most lorries transporting grass are being loaded in horizontal direction also, even up to a metre outside the chassis on either side, thereby posing hazards to passing vehicles.
Hence it is suspected that a lorry similarly loaded might have brushed past the Omni vehicle resulting in its losing road balance.
Ummer ran a shamiana business. He was returning home after setting up one in Mottetadka in Kemminje near Puttur. He is survived by wife, two little daughter and a son. Family sources said that Muhammed Ali, a brother of his, had died on the spot in a mishap while driving a lorry.

I would strongly urge any consumer NOT to shop in Currys. I bought a brand new washing machine and paid for Currys "professionals" (I use this term very lightly) to deliver and fit the goods. As the delivery men were bringing the machine into my house I heard a large crack (from two rooms away). I went to see what had happened – the men looking rather shifty but said it has caught on the conservatory door. I examined the door and there was no damage so I went back to sit with my young daughter (who gets nervous about strangers in the house). The delivery men connected the machine did a test run and then left.
The spin cycle has never worked very well. So after getting more concerned about the spin and the noise I asked a couple of friends to give me their opinion before I went back to Currys. My friend pulled the machine out of the fitted cupboard space and then we saw the back and top panel of the machine has been smashed. Significant damage had been caused to the machine. Two further bits of plastic were behind the machine – which had clearly fallen off during cycles – however it was very apparent that the delivery men had seriously damaged the machine and then taken most of the smashed plastic with them.
So not only had they broken my machine bringing it into the house, they had also hidden the damage and lied to me. Also getting me to fraudulently sign that the machine was in perfect condition upon installation.
Given the appalling behaviour of their employees one would think Currys would apologise and replace the machine. Of course NOT. Currys 'customer service' person essentially said their company would do nothing about it and that I had caused the damage.
I am still paying back the money I borrowed to get this machine. I was left in tears after Currys customer service experience. And I don't even have a working washing machine. They shouldn't be allowed to trade. I would not even give them 1 star.
Dishonest and deceitful are the polite words to describe this company. I will never shop there again.

Legislators can reinvigorate free speech
Published 10:00 pm, Thursday, January 25, 2007
Journalism educators around the country are optimistic and jubilant about a bill being heard in Olympia today that would guarantee press freedoms in public high schools and colleges, and protect faculty advisers from pressures to suppress student journalists' free expression.
In academic corridors where free speech and educational concerns intersect, the bill by Rep. Dave Upthegrove, D-Des Moines, is being touted as a "model bill" for the rest of the country, a lesson in civics and a potential "major triumph" for the future of American democracy.
It is, says Eric Newton, vice president of the Florida-based John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, "a blast of fresh air to a nation where student media and civics education are treated as though they have nothing to do with the future of our country."
Introduced last week, the bill faces its first hearing today before the House Judiciary Committee.

Upthegrove and other supporters point to a novel protest and a federal court lawsuit brought by former editors of the Everett High School student newspaper, The Kodak.
Upset over censorship, demands for changes and demands that the principal review future editions in advance, co-editors, Claire Lueneburg and Sara Eccleston, published and distributed an alternative Independent Kodak last year that was blank pages, except for a photograph of themselves with their hands behind their backs and tape across their mouths, as if gagged and handcuffed.
Upthegrove's bill would allow school officials to supervise and review high school publications for content that is defamatory, obscene or disruptive. At either the high school or college level, school governing bodies and administrators would be protected from liability for content in student publications, unless they meddled in content decisions, in violation of the proposed new law's provisions.
Teacher groups are supporting the bill. High school administrators are not.
If Washington legislators are courageous enough to pass the bill, it would put the state in the forefront of a policy movement that began, then waned, after a 1988 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier.
Nineteen years before Hazelwood, a Vietnam-era Supreme Court had declared that students "do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate."
But in the Hazelwood case, the court held that free speech that is "inconsistent" with a school's "basic educational mission." could be banned by high school administrators, even if it could not be censored "outside the school."
Warren Watson, director of J-Ideas, a Knight Foundation-funded program at Ball State University in Indiana, said the Hazelwood decision left the state of press freedoms in high schools "confusing and complicated" -- allowing school administrators to censor student publications in most instances they chose to do so.
After the Hazelwood court agreed that a St. Louis principal could disallow articles on teen pregnancy and divorce in the school paper, several states passed laws expanding free-press rights for students in high school, college or both. California, Massachusetts, Iowa and Colorado were first to act. The most recent were those passed in Arkansas and Kansas in 1995. A similar bill in Washington died in the House Rules Committee in 1996.
Watson, optimistic about the bill's chances, said it would be a "major triumph" for those "who care about student journalism, the future of media and First Amendment awareness."
Touting his bill as a way to promote civic education, Upthegrove said, "Students need to learn about the rights and responsibilities of citizens.... If we aren't allowing them to learn from experience, we are restricting their opportunity to have the most effective learning opportunity."
That viewpoint is indirectly validated by a little-noticed task force report published this week by a Harvard University research center.
A survey of 1,250 civics, government and social studies teachers from fifth through 12th grade showed that nine out of 10 think "news in the classroom is one of the best ways to get students interested in a class and its subject." But three out of four of the teachers said they were using news and current events less often because of time pressures to prepare students for mandatory tests.
Although the study dealt with general education policy, not the student press, school administrators ought to learn from it that learning is enhanced when free expression and robust exchange of ideas are encouraged, not stifled.

Anyone have any clue what I can do?
I have an iso on my computer and on a disk of the game Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2. I really want to play it as my original is lost or broken somewhere in my house. I burned it right (DVD-R/4x speed/imgburn) and it just gives me a blank screen on all of the backup loaders I have tried. I have tried lots, including backup loader Wii backup launcher 0.2, 0.1 xi, 0.1 theta, 0.3 gamma, NeoGamma R6, and I think others but I am not sure. I just want to continue playing that game. Any help on what app I should try or anything I should do will be appreciated a lot. Thanks!
Anyone have any clue what I can do?
I might be way off here but aren't Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 Gamecube games?
Makes we wonder about the vailidity of your statement..
No Wii backup launcher will work. I don't even think that the Wii is online compatible with GC or that servers would still be running anyway.Originally Posted by CamCracker

The wife of Oeneus and mother of Meleager. When her child was born, the three Moirae prophesied that Meleager would live only so long as a brand burning upon the hearth remained unconsumed. Althaea immediately snatched the brand from the fire and kept it in a safe place. When Meleager killed her two brothers in a fight, Althaea removed the half-consumed brand from its hiding place and cast it upon the fire.

Homegrown Revolution, in support of the ongoing two-wheeled revolution, is putting on an evening of vintage bicycle and traffic safety films at the Echo Park Film Center on Sunday November 4th. It's a special benefit for the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition. Watch as little Jane and Johnny take to the streets for the first time to learn the rules of the road. But bring your motoring friends as well, since we'll also serve up a selection of classic driver's safety films. We'll round out the evening with a few bicycle related shorts and oddities from the world of educational films.
The Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) is a membership based advocacy organization working to improve the bicycling environment and quality of life in Los Angeles County through advocacy and education. The LACBC envisions a Los Angeles County that is a great place for everyday, year-round cycling with bicycles accepted as an integral part of our transportation system, culture, and communities.
Admission is $10 with all proceeds going to support the LACBC.
Sunday November 4th
Time 7:30 pm and 9:30 pm
The Echo Park Film Center is located at 1200 North Alvarado Street @ Sunset Blvd. Map
This ain't a safety film and we won't be showing this gem on Sunday, but it reminds us that we need to write about the aesthetics of urban homesteading. Something about the three-way nexus of Germans, country music, and "new wave" speaks to the notion of growing food and keeping livestock in the city:

Philadelphia police said a man out buying drugs flagged down officers after he couldn't find the car he'd parked with his 6-year-old stepson inside. The man, 31, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person.
Police said the suspect had driven from Lehigh County to Philadelphia to buy drugs before he flagged down a police car around 4:30 Saturday morning. Authorities said he explained that he couldn't find the car with the boy inside.
Police found the car two hours later about a half-mile from where the suspect hailed officers.
The child was unhurt and turned over to his mother. The man remains jailed on $4,000 bail.

Joseph E. Stiglitz: A Tax System Stacked Against the 99 PercentRoundup: Media's Take
tags: NYT, taxes, tax reform, Tax Day, progressive income tax, Joseph E. Stiglitz
Joseph E. Stiglitz is an economist and professor at Columbia University.
LEONA HELMSLEY, the hotel chain executive who was convicted of federal tax evasion in 1989, was notorious for, among other things, reportedly having said that "only the little people pay taxes."
As a statement of principle, the quotation may well have earned Mrs. Helmsley, who died in 2007, the title Queen of Mean. But as a prediction about the fairness of American tax policy, Mrs. Helmsley's remark might actually have been prescient.
Today, the deadline for filing individual income-tax returns, is a day when Americans would do well to pause and reflect on our tax system and the society it creates. No one enjoys paying taxes, and yet all but the extreme libertarians agree, as Oliver Wendell Holmes said, that taxes are the price we pay for civilized society. But in recent decades, the burden for paying that price has been distributed in increasingly unfair ways....
What should shock and outrage us is that as the top 1 percent has grown extremely rich, the effective tax rates they pay have markedly decreased. Our tax system is much less progressive than it was for much of the 20th century. The top marginal income tax rate peaked at 94 percent during World War II and remained at 70 percent through the 1960s and 1970s; it is now 39.6 percent. Tax fairness has gotten much worse in the 30 years since the Reagan "revolution" of the 1980s....

Butch Gen & Hanaharu's Gargantia The Next Big Thing?
- Categories: Anime, News
- Date: Dec 11, 2012 19:50 JST
- Tags: Announcements, Gargantia, Mecha, Naruko Hanaharu, Nitroplus, Oppai
Newly unveiled anime project Gargantia: On The Verdurous Planet has been attracting plenty of attention, boasting as it does the writing talents of Nitroplus writer and Madoka creator Butch Gen, the sexy designs of celebrated ero-mangaka Naruko Hanaharu, and the obscure directorial talents of Kazuya Murata (whose admittedly rather less impressive portfolio includes directing an FMA movie).
Its official site just opened, helpfully showcasing its sexy character designs, and comments from Gen himself indicate it "was planned even before Psycho-Pass" and that it should see the light of day in the spring:
The action takes place on "Gargantia" – city ships:
Opinions online are divided as to whether it looks capable of turning into a latter day Gurren Lagann, or merely another generic mecha anime – or worse yet, another Fractale…

BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa, March 29 (UPI) -- A wildlife documentary film-maker sustained serious injuries when he was mauled by a tiger on his farm in South Africa, officials said.
John Varty, 61, was attacked on his Tiger Canyons farm near Philippolis and taken to hospital for six hours of emergency surgery to treat multiple injuries and puncture wounds, Britain's The Guardian newspaper reported Thursday.
A spokeswoman for the Mediclinic hospital in Bloemfontein said Varty, who was taken in Wednesday evening, was conscious Thursday morning but not yet out of danger.
"He came in last night at around 9 o'clock and was treated in the trauma room," spokeswoman Amanda Appelgryn said.
"He went for 6-hour surgery and is in the intensive care unit. He had lost a lot of blood and got a transfusion in theater. He has multiple injuries on his front and back and all over his whole body but not his face.
"He's not stable and he's not critical but somewhere in between. It's best to say he's in a serious condition."
Controversy has swirled around Varty's farm, a project to create a free-ranging, self-sustaining tiger population. Critics have accused Varty of making money from the tigers by promoting the farm as a tourist attraction.
Varty has made more than 30 wildlife documentaries, including 1995's "Running Wild" in which he starred, about a conservationist trying to save leopards from extinction, with a cast that included Brooke Shields and Martin Sheen.

Stayed here in July 2012 and it was awesome! The cleaners came every day and the rooms were a great deal for the price. I would strongly recommend to those who are up for having a crazy time, but would seriously advise people looking for a quiet holiday to look elsewhere. The only downside is the price for air-con (which is a must have), costing 50 euros for a week! With a little negotiation you would be able to convince the receptionist to offer it to you for less though! Literally 100m to the… Read Full ReviewClick here to view holiday offers on Expedia

Not going to lie, if you go to Kavos, you're not going to go and check out the local castle and surrounding culture. You're going because you want to get ruined with your friends. Agnes was the BEST place to stay if this is your intention. Firstly - Don't go to kavos if you have children. Agnes is the best located hotel in Kavos, it is at the very start of the 'strip' so you can be on the strip within 2 minutes from leaving your door.

Depending on who is going on the holiday agnes studios and appartments could be an ideal holiday destination or a horrific one.
To start with, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT TO FAMILIES OR PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN or people who want to eat in AT ALL.
My reasons for this are, the kitchen consists of 2 cupboards, the music played by the pool and the area, is not suitable for children, people are quite noisy at night and the rooms wernt very good, but they where clean.
This place is ideal for young people… Read Full Review

Agnes apartments were definitely the best in Kavos they were right on the beach! And only a two minute walk if that from the strip! The apartments were basic but clean.

The 2013 Oscars red carpet belonged to the star moms. From an expectant Jenna Dewan-Tatum to new mom-of-three Reese Witherspoon, mamas stole the show with their jaw-dropping fashion. Here are ten who stood out.
Jenna Dewan-Tatum. The sexy mom-to-be looked gorgeous in a sparkling black gown that showed off her growing baby bump. During a red carpet interview with E!'s Ryan Seacrest, Dewan-Tatum pointed to her swollen belly and called her bun in the oven one "posh child." The star also said she has a few months left to go before she gives birth. Meanwhile, her sexy husband Channing Tatum revealed his wife will actually deliver their baby in London where he will be shooting a film. Check out her look on Us Weekly's website.
Reese Witherspoon. The Academy Award winner chose her royal blue and black Louis Vuitton gown with her daughter Ava. Witherspoon, who just gave birth to her son Tennessee in September, was definitely one of the most gorgeous moms on the Oscars red carpet. See a photo of her look on Huffington Post.
Jennifer Garner. The star mom-of-three wowed in a fuchsia, sleeveless gown by Gucci. For just having had a baby, Garner's body looked amazing. She also seemed happy as could be to stand by the side of her award-winning director hubby Ben Affleck.
Adele. The new mom looked pretty and happy in a glittering black gown by Jenny Packham that she said she chose for comfort. Of course Adele was one of the most highly anticipated star arrivals on the red carpet, and she did not disappoint!
Amy Adams. The Master star looked stunning on the Oscars red carpet, wearing a dove gray Oscar de la Renta gown that featured a head-turning, full skirt. The mom-of-one took time during her interview with E!'s Ryan Seacrest to wave hello to her daughter Aviana.
Naomi Watts. The mom-of-two rocked a glittering blue Armani Prive gown with an asymmetrical neckline. The star of The Impossible shimmered as she walked the carpet.
Nicole Kidman. The veteran Hollywood star looked effortlessly beautiful in a sequined golden L'Wren Scott gown. Kidman told NBC's Lara Spencer that her Oscars dress was actually not her two daughters' first choice!
Charlize Theron. The new mom, who recently buzzed her hair off for an upcoming film role, looked chic in a sleek, white Dior gown that showed off her amazing figure. Indeed, Theron stood out among a sea of stars on Sunday night.
Jennifer Hudson. Mom-of-one and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson chose Roberto Cavalli for the 2013 Oscars. She admitted it wasn't easy deciding on her gown for the big night. In fact Hudson, who recently performed at the Super Bowl, endured three days of fittings to get her sparkling blue dress just right.
Sandra Bullock. Oscar winner and mom Bullock rocked an Elie Saab gown that fit her body perfectly. She was the epitome of understated beauty on the red carpet.
Who is your pick for best dressed mom?

Pedal on Heavy?
June 29
I'm massively into Heavy at the moment-every song is a belter and don't even get me started on how beautiful Tiramisu is.
Anyway I was just wondering does anyone know what the main overdive pedal Jim is using(when he's not going straight into his amp obviously)?
I'm guessing it's his Klon but anyone know for sure?
June 29
I am sure Jim will chime in at some point, but I remember reading elsewhere that "Heavy" was recorded on a Vibrolux and a Deluxe Reverb. On a personal note, as much as I love Princetons, the 59' into a Deluxe Reverb is my favorite "Jim's tone" ever - studio or live.
I believe the Klon Centaur was used only on "Loose".
June 29
Thanks for the reply-I really appreciate it. I guess we can rule out the Klon but to me on the heavier tracks it sounds like he's got a pedal on there but maybe it's just one of those bigger amps on ten?
Just out of interest,can you give me a song example of one of your favourites recorded with a Deluxe please?
June 29
Well, this one always blows me away:
I will admit that I may be a bit biased here, since I own one - lol - but I guess it has something to do with the range of dynamics of a Deluxe Reverb. But, of course, in the end it's Jim's talent and sensibility what makes all the difference - not gear.
June 29
Maybe, the DR cut through the mix better? better headroom, etc. I've never been a fan of cranked PR's sound, but Jim is the only exception. I have no idea how he manage to do that especially the bass on 10!!!
June 29
"I've never been a fan of cranked PR's sound, but Jim is the only exception."
+100 !!!
June 30
Thanks for the video! Fantastic tone.
"I've never been a fan of cranked PR's sound, but Jim is the only exception."
So i'm not the only one who bought a Princeton,put the treble on 7,the bass on 10 and then was like "what the......" lol
My Princeton has been modded now-it's got a 12" speaker amongst other things.
June 30
HA! No you're not the only one!!! It seems there are 3 "secrets":
1) a REALLY well-broken-in speaker (that C10R doesn't hold together... Jim uses either Celestions or reconed vintage C10Ns)
2) Amp biased VERY hot- info on Jim's website.
3) Guitar volume knob- Put everything on 10 (treble on 6-7), then turn your guitar up to whatever level of "clean" you want... even if going for drive sounds, you probably won't need the guitar on 10.
Hey Jim- how often is your guitar on 10? Backburner maybe?
Next PR I get, I'm putting in a Celestion first thing.... I did all kinds of mods to mine, but in the end, a different speaker and hot bias will get you there. Learning how to "play the amp" with the guitar's vol 7 tone controls is the last piece of the puzzle.
June 30
"So i'm not the only one who bought a Princeton,put the treble on 7,the bass on 10 and then was like "what the......" lol"
Hahaha, everyone here seems to have experienced this!
June 30
Does the biasing hot improve the low-end muddiness at high volume? I'm not brave enough to try "at least 30ma" thing.

Biasing hot makes the amp warmer and more responsive. It's the speaker that's causing most of the problems with the low end flubbiness. A Celestion G10 Vintage would sort that, or a C10N... Jenson doesn't make the C10N anymore, but Weber makes a copy. the stock C10R simply can't handle the low frequencies at any reasonable volume.
July 1
OK, now I feel that the combination of a robust speaker and hot biasing (warmness) would be the key to Jim's sound. I've always felt that single 10" speaker is too tight, and very uncomfortable to play, so I swapped it to a 12" as many others. I'm satisfied the result, but then I've kinda started to feel guilty about it because it's the Leo's original design, Princeton with a 10". Maybe someday I should try some good 10"s with biasing hot and see the result.
July 1
Alot of people do 12" in a PR. Nothing wrong with that. Guthrie Trapp has done it for years. Awesome tone, awesome player. But I have read that some 10" speakers "sound like 12s", the Celestion Gold being one.
July 1
Man, the gold sure looks great and i wanted to try it, but the price is just WOW! you know, haha.
By the way, have you ever tried the G-10 vintage? Is it true that it's 10" version of the Vintage 30?
July 1
I have not tried the G10 Vintage, but next PR I own, I will be trying it. I agree on the Gold- I'd love to try it, but it's $$$. Maybe if I found one used... (there is one version of the PR that comes with a Gold... the "sunburst" version I think.)
July 2
Cool. Please let us know your impression on the G10 Vintage when you try it.
July 4
I use the g10v ,overall a great upgrade to the flubby stock speaker. Sounds more british than american . In fact it sounded beano when paired with NOS brimar tubes. I swapped the tubes back to stock ones.
July 4
Yes, I would thing the G10 Vintage, being British, would provide a bump in the mids...
When I had my PRRI, I did the "mid mod" to it (temporarily), and I REALLY liked the amp with more mids, made it sound a little bigger and smoother. Clean tones did not suffer. That's when I knew on my next PR I would likely swap the speaker for one with a little more mids... G10 Vintage, or if I can swing it, the G10 Gold, which I think sounds fantastic in this amp.
July 4
How do people feel about the G10s (Vintage or Gold) compared with any of the Weber 10"s?
July 4
My guitar is on "10" frequently, but touch has a lot to do with the sound.
I've never seen that video - thanks for posting. Stephan Crump and Tony Mason sound great. By the way, that's a Campilongo Signature through a Fender Deluxe Reverb- Stock.
July 4
I put Weber's version of the Jensen C10N in mine- briefly. I liked it ALOT more than the C10R (stock speaker), but much preferred the added mids of a 10" Greenback. The GB was my favorite speaker in the PR, when I owned one (but I never did get to try the Gold)
August 13
I use G10 with Weber 10" and
feels and sounds really great

Thank you Rainiqui. The center of this puzzle is an image I called "Falling into the Sun". I had several of this type and planned to upload them all. But the one's I published, "In Love With Jessica" and "Do Not Look into the Happy Ball" did not seem to popular as my other work. So at the last minute I decided to add things around the outside. It took me a little over half an hour to transform Falling into the Sun into this.
This is how long it took me to rebuild what you threw together, LOL.... Thank you very much Evil Ivan!

by Dr. Craig A. Maxwell
"How can I get healthy?" It's a common question. With so many websites and books claiming that you can get healthy fast with such-and-such a diet or one amazing superfood, it's easy to get confused. No one-size-fits-all approach works for everyone. However, I have discovered in my 30 years of practice that there are 5 essentials to the recovery and maintenance of optimum health.
- Proper Nourishment
I can never say enough about the power of proper nourishment. It is virtually impossible to be a healthy, vibrant person if your diet consists largely of junk. Many of the synthetic ingredients in junk food have been proven to cause, or contribute to, persistent headaches, neurological disturbances, digestive abnormalities, autoimmune disease, cancer, and more.
I've never been an advocate for extreme or fad diets. I simply advise my patients to remove as many synthetic "non-foods" from their diet as possible. This includes conventionally-raised produce. I believe organic produce is best but if the cost is prohibitive for you, visit a local farm and talk with the staff.
Oftentimes, farmers do not use pesticides but cannot afford the right to label their food as organic. Foods purchased from your local farm are fresher, more nutrient-rich, and often far less expensive than what you can find on sale at your favorite supermarket.
A diet filled with organic (or organically-grown) produce, beans, nuts, seeds, grass-fed beef, organic poultry, wild-caught fish, eggs, and healthy fats like butter and coconut oil nourish your body and boost your immune system so you're better able to fight and prevent chronic disease.
Visit LocalHarvest.org to find a family farm near you.
- Optimal Vitamin D3 Levels
Sub-optimal vitamin D3 levels are one of the most common hidden causes of chronic disease and low immunity. According to an article published in the American Journal for Clinical Nutrition[1. http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/87/4/1080S.full] vitamin D3 deficiency has been shown to cause rickets in children, and can be a contributing factor in autoimmune disease, hypertension, infectious disease, and certain types of cancer.
I recommend anyone struggling with a chronic illness be evaluated for vitamin D3 deficiency. The Vitamin D, 25 Hydroxy Kit from Direct Labs is the most accurate test I have found to detect this common nutritional deficiency.
I recommend a target range of 40-80 ng/ml.
Once you place your order, it will be delivered to your door and you can take it to any nearby LabCorp location to have your blood drawn. You and your doctor will have your results in 5-7 business days.
If results reveal a vitamin D3 deficiency, you can optimize your levels with my Diamond Nutritional's Vitamin D3-5,000 supplement. It provides a strong, revitalizing boost of healing D3 to get your levels back up to optimum levels.
- Emotional Well-Being
According to The National Child Traumatic Stress Network[2. http://www.nctsn.org/trauma-types/complex-trauma/effects-of-complex-trauma], traumatic childhood experiences have been linked to the development of chronic disease in adulthood.
If you have experienced a trauma in childhood (or as an adult), it is important to release these events in a safe, healthy way. I recommend journaling, a support group, and/or individual counseling, and what I feel is the most important…. spiritual healing.
I would also like to note that if you have been diagnosed with depression or anxiety, there are many physical causes that may need to be addressed before psychiatric drugs are prescribed.
Nutritional deficiencies, thyroid disease, diabetes, gluten intolerance, chronic candida infection and autoimmune disease can all contribute to the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Talk with your doctor about testing.
If your doctor is less-than-receptive to conducting these tests, please feel free to contact me. I offer one-on-one natural health coaching and can help you gain access to the medical tests you need and the right holistic treatments for your condition.
- Adequate Physical Activity
A completely sedentary lifestyle can have serious consequences for your health including obesity, heart disease, and an increased risk for the development of certain types of cancer.
According to research,[3. http://ajl.sagepub.com/content/5/4/338.abstract], moderate exercise gives your immune system a boost by enhancing the recirculation of immunoglobulins, neutrophils, and natural killer cells.
Take care not to overdue it, however. Overtraining can cause an altered focus of your immune system to spend most of its resources rebuilding and repairing your muscle tissue with not a lot left over to protect you from disease.[4. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12696983] With your doctor's O.K.,
I recommend, at a minimum, 30 minutes of exercise three times per week. If you're a beginner, start slowly and work up to a level that is comfortable for you.
- Deep, Uninterrupted Sleep
I started with nutrition and ended with sleep because they are the two "bookends" of optimum health. Millions of people struggle with insomnia and have developed a dependency on prescription sleep aids. This is unfortunate because while these sleep aids may work temporarily, they don't address the underlying causes of insomnia.
Healthy adults should get a minimum of seven hours of deep, uninterrupted sleep each night. Those with chronic health problems should aim for at least nine. I recommend sleeping in a cool room with the blinds or shades drawn to regulate the sleep hormone, melatonin within your body. No laptops or cell phones by the bed unless they're turned off.
If you're having difficulty sleeping, you may have a magnesium deficiency. Adding a chelated magnesium supplement to your diet may be all you need to go from counting sheep to catching Zs.
While these essentials to optimum health won't immediately cure a chronic disease, they will give you the building blocks you need to build a strong, healthy immune system that will support you for the rest of your life.

There are many settings I find myself adjusting after every Slackware installation I complete. This article takes place immediately after an installation of Slackware 11, logged in as root for the first time. Here are some of the settings I adjust:
The inetd.conf file contains all of the standard services that come with the Slackware distribution. By default this file has many of these services uncommented, and I comment them out so that they are no longer running. The default services I comment out are:
- time stream tcp nowait root internal
- time dgram udp wait root internal
- comsat dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.comsat
- auth stream tcp wait root /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd
Then save the file and exit your editor. Be sure to run killall -HUP inetd in order to restart the inetd process and have your changes take effect.
Read my article on Modifying SSH to Maximize Security for details on modifications to make to your sshd_config file.
The next thing to do is to install Slackpkg, which was introduced into the /extras folder along with the recent release of Slackware 11.0. Slackpkg will make it easier to upgrade to the latest applications that Slackware has released since the original Slackware 11 release date. This includes security fixes. Here is a quick run down of installing and configuring Slackpkg:
- Visit http://packages.slackware.it/
- Search for Slackpkg and download it from your closest mirror.
- Once downloaded, run installpkg slackpkg-X.XX-noarch-1.tgz
- Edit /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and uncomment a mirror closest to you.
- From the command line, as root, run slackpkg update
- Once the update completes, run slackpkg upgrade-all to view a list of applications to upgrade.
Slackpkg is a very helpful tool. Whenever there is a security advisory or update to the slackware-current tree I can stay up to date simply by following the last two steps from above.
The rc.local file is a great place to put in commands you want executed at boot time, providing the rc.local file is executable (chmod +x rc.local). Another one of the initial configurations I do to Slackware is to add the command ntpdate time.nist.gov to this rc.local file. This will keep my machine in sync with the time server at nist.gov.
If the machine I installed Slackware onto is a single boot machine, I like to remove the LILO prompt. To do this, I edit /etc/lilo.conf and comment out the line that reads prompt so that it now reads #prompt. Be sure to execute /sbin/lilo after saving the lilo.conf file.
Of course there are many other settings that I adjust that are specific to my environment and network configuration but the items mentioned above are the universal settings I feel every new Slackware 11.0 installation should have. To summarize, it is important to make the proper modifications to your inetd.conf, sshd_conf if you are looking to harden, better secure your installation.
Happy Slacking!

Police disbanded a peaceful march in Coconut Grove Sunday, not because of the nature of the protest, but because of the sheer number of people involved.
Thousands in white participated in what was called the 'Gran Marcha,' demanding a recount of the votes in last week's presidential election in Venezuela.
"We are trying to show the world how the corruption is affecting us," said protestor Alberto De Los Rios.
The march began at the Coconut Grove Convention Center and ended at Peacock Park. Once it reached the park, however, police were called in due to complaints from residents about car honking and pedestrian obstruction on the streets.
Student Uses Social Media to Get Venezuelan Voters to the Polls
The organizers said they secured a permit from the City of Miami expecting a few hundred protestors, but a few thousand showed up instead.
And it wasn't just the yellow, blue and red Venezuelan flag that made an appearance. Sprinkled in among the crowd were the flags of other countries united in supporting local Venezuelans who wanted to see a change in leadership following president Hugo Chavez' death.
"I think its beautiful because you see the Venezuelans living in Florida and they want to speak out. We're not alone, we're together. We are family and we care about our country," protestor Florieve Gonzales said.
Chavez's hand-picked successor, Nicolas Maduro, won a razor-thin victory in last week's special presidential election, but those supporting opposition candidate Henrique Capriles are saying they won't accept the results at face value.
"We won the elections, but they do tricks, they cheated," said Victor veradicio, who voted in New Orleans during the elections.

nice puzzle, too. Thanks.
Oh, I think it's wonderful that you guys have chickens. I didn't know you really had them ChickieMama! I thought that was just a joke. I'd love that, fresh eggs and them cackling all the time. I bet it's fun.
The place where I usually buy my baby chicks isn't carrying them this year. She's OK, and not alone. The Peacock keeps her company.
Sorry to hear Peahen4. The darn weasels are the hardest to keep out. They can get thru the chicken wire. A weasel did get one of mine before the raccoon got to them. I hope you will be getting more.
Some critter got the others during the daytime or early evening. Went to close up the coop, and only one was left. The one I have is very friendly.
Something got my chickens. I had 6 pets. They were very friendly. A raccoon tore away the fabric netting over their yard and took them in the night. I have to put chicken wire over it for next spring and then I will start all over. What happened to yours?
Thanks, Chickiemama. How many chickens do you have, now. I'm down to one.
Wonderful old building Peahen4.

DENVER, June 2 (UPI) -- Jorge De La Rosa stayed on a roll with seven efficient innings and Dexter Fowler smacked two homers Sunday in Colorado's 7-2 defeat of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
De La Rosa (7-3) registered his fifth victory in six starts, surrendering two runs on six hits. The left-hander issued a pair of walks and struck out five as the Rockies took two-of-three from the Dodgers.
Fowler's solo homer leading off the first inning gave the Rockies a quick lead and his two-run blast in the sixth provided the final margin of victory.
In between, Michael Cuddyer provided a bases-empty home run and a sacrifice fly, while Todd Helton also went deep.
The Dodgers' Matt Magill (0-1) handed out nine walks over six innings in his first major-league loss. The rookie right-hander was lit up for seven runs (six earned) on five hits.
Skip Schumaker had two RBI for Los Angeles.

I love peanut butter. Chunk style is best but creamy is good also. Sometimes I have peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast, and sometimes for dinner. Lunchtime also obviously. When I go on long rides, I love a peanut butter and jam sandwich mid-ride. The taste is incredible and it gives a nice energy boost.
In the past, I was a skippy guy, but my wife brought home some Kirkland Signature all natural peanut butter and I have to say, I'm a convert.
What's your favorite peanut butter? Any peanut butter lovers out there?

In GIFs: Rooney, Kagawa & Evans' super goal celebration during Man Utd v Real Madrid
There has been plenty of chat about the negative ramifications which has befallen Wayne Rooney since Sir Alex Ferguson dropped the England international from his starting line up against Real Madrid this week.
Nowhere, however, has any attention been drawn to Rooney's excited goal celebration on the sidelines following Sergio Ramos' own goal at the start of the second half.
Japanese TV, naturally fixated on Shinji Kagawa's Old Trafford career, had a camera glued on the Blue Samurai international during United's defeat to Los Blancos.
As United took the lead courtesy of Ramos' og, the Japanese cameras captured an epic moment when Kagawa was joined by Jonny Evans and Wayne Rooney in a 'ring a ring a roses' celebration.
The images clearly showed just how excited the Man United subs were at seeing their team take the lead, and any suggestion that Rooney & co. were pissed at being on the sidelines was nowhere to be seen.
Enjoy the Rooney, Kagawa & Evans' goal celebration GIFs below.

"I installed HaXml-1.13.2 from source using Cabal" ... Instead I did not!! I followed the instruction on the HaXml web site: ./configure; make; make install... I'm using Linux too. So, first I installed a fresh ghc-6.4.1 and got the same problem. Than I tried installing HaXml using just Cabal: runhaskell Setup.hs configure|build|install and... HaXml started working fine! I went back to ghc-6.4.2 and did the same, with Cabal. And it works perfectly! I don't know what to say... Well, I do know, in fact: first, thank you all, thank you so much for you kind patience and the time you spent to help me. Second, never trust developers' instruction on how to install their software...;-) Thank you once again! Andrea ps: needless to say, even hxml works perfectly now! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
