One of Nigeria's telecoms company, Airtel, has honoured eight of its employees for putting in ten years of sterling service in the company.
At the company's Employee Consultative Forum (ECF) held recently in Lagos, the eight employees were showered with gifts and special citations for their commitment and loyalty to the company.
Speaking at the event, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Airtel Nigeria, Segun Ogunsanya, commended the awardees for their dedicated service to the company through the good and bad times over the past ten years.
The CEO, who also encouraged the staff to strive to achieve a healthy work-life balance, used the opportunity to re-assure the awardees and the rest of the staff of the company's commitment to their welfare, pledging that hard work would always be matched with appropriate rewards.
"It is a thing of pride to see people who have put in ten precious years of their lives in the service of Airtel Nigeria. It is a moving human-interest story and it is the kind of story we wish to encourage in Airtel Nigeria," Ogusanya observed, and further pointed out that Airtel's greatest assets were the employees.
The staff who received the Airtel Long Service Awards include: Yetunde Okaro, Vivian Ogunbanjo, Gabriel Afunwa, Ogochukwu Chigbo, Nicholas Aigberua, Babatunde Oginni, Joshua Eru and Titilope Olusanya.

|[TowerTalk] Re: using guy wire to carry cable runs
|Bill Otten" <email@example.com (Bill Otten)
|Wed, 9 Jan 2002 19:23:34 -0500
Thanks to all who offered the advice....all this sounds reasonable to me, and of primary importance is protection against lightning. I'm located in Largo, FL (despite the 9 call) so we never worry about ice, but we're dead center in 'lightning central' for the US here in west central Florida. I related to some on the list that my home did take a jolt this past summer and while damage was minimal, I'm not willing to risk it again. As a precaution I'm replacing the coax even though we couldn't determine IF the tower took a hit. Event the remote coax switch on the tower continues to function. The phone service box on the outside of the house, cable television lines, and two breakers in the panel box in the garage weren't as lucky. And I lost 5 square feet of ceramic tile where the jolt blew a hole in the concrete floor of the room where my office and radio gear reside....this was along the rear of the home. The thought here was that the rebar concrete reinforcement in the flooring may have taken a shot. We're also in hurricane country...I've got the Gulf of Mexico 3 miles from me to the west, and Tampa Bay 3 miles to the east. The tower is a crank up/tilt-over with the 12" steel main pier driven 11 feet down..it sits essentially in water (when we dug for our 6' pool the excavator had to pump water from the hole due to it continually seeping in). The tower bolts to anchors on the pier post. At any rate, I'll be placing those comments regarding lightning as the primary reason to go with the coax-down-the-tower and then underground to the shack idea. I have done a lot of shopping lately with PolyPhaser too. Lots of help from the technicians there. And a lot of good help from all of you on the list here too.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I know its been mentioned alot, but im currently victim of the MP3 playing problem, where it just seems to bomb out on most mp3 files i try to read. I believe its down to it having a slightly different header section or something or wrapping data differently.
Anyway a few people have mentioned that they have fixed this issue, and ive taken the latest source and built it to get round the Shop() hang on some integrated sound cards but it still doesnt seem to read all Mp3 files, which is a show stopper for the project
im currently working on, but there dont really seem to be any better alternatives.
So just wondering if there is any news on if this will be fixed in next build or if there are any quick fixes i can do on the source myself to get it running ok

Apparently there are two types of people – those who "eat to live" and those who "live to eat". Admittedly, in my dieting days I lived to eat. In fact every meal became like the last supper, because I was either cheating on my diet, or getting ready to start a new one on Monday. Either way, I misused food because I looked to it to provide me with love, passion, fun and excitement in my life, when, truth is, it could never fulfill me in that way. Food was a poor substitute for what I really craved. Click here to purchase from NHS Heroes
Moving to France and dating a Frenchman helped me see how I was misusing food. When my Frenchman Frederic told me quite bluntly that "you think food is the answer to everything", it was a wake-up call. He was right and the truth hurt!
The True Purpose of Food
I had to ask myself why I felt compelled to eat, even when I wasn't hungry. I guess it was a well-ingrained habit stemming from my childhood. Once I became aware of my habit though, I was able to set about changing my relationship with food.
Let's remember that the sole evolutionary purpose of food is to nourish and keep us alive. The fact that food tastes delicious is so that we'll continue to eat it and stay alive. In ancient times, the relationship between us and food was simple – eat and live – don't eat and die.
False Messages
These days, things are quite different. We are constantly being sold a false message about the meaning of food – reward, comfort, passion, euphoria, love and solace. We expect it to do something fabulous for the way we feel, to enhance our mood and even make us look like the models in the ads.
By believing this message, we often turn to food with all its artificial expectations and away from real human connection, which is what we're really craving. Have you ever turned to a tub of ice-cream instead of crying on a friends shoulder? Ever had cheesecake on a Saturday night instead of a date? I know I did.
What Do You Really Crave?
The first step out of this false relationship with food is to realize that food is, well, just food. It is incapable of giving us anything beyond sustenance and occasional pleasure. The second step is to look for what we really crave elsewhere through hobbies, passions, relationships and spirituality. When you connect with yourself deeply and fully, you get better at identifying your true needs. In time you'll get better at knowing what you really need when that need is not food.

Carolina Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner is likely to miss Tuesday's game against his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs due to an undisclosed injury.
Skinner left Wednesday's game against the Edmonton Oilers after a hit by Andy Sutton and missed Friday's game in Winnipeg, leaving the 'Canes with just 19 skaters.
Carolina called up forward Drayson Bowman from Charlotte of the AHL on an emergency basis Sunday to take Skinner's spot on the roster. Bowman has eight goals and six assists in 23 games with Charlotte.
In 30 games this season, Skinner, a 19-year-old from Toronto, has 12 goals and 12 assists.
The Hurricanes also put goaltender Brian Boucher on the injured reserve list Sunday, nearly a week after he suffered a lower-body injury during a practice.
Boston Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara will likely miss at least the next three games with a leg injury, according to the Boston Globe.
Chara was hurt during the Bruins' win over the Columbus Blue Jackets Saturday night and left during the second period. He'll probably miss games against Los Angeles, Ottawa and Philadelphia this week.
Steven Kampfer, who hasn't played since mid-November, will take Chara's spot in the roster against L.A. on Tursday.
The San Jose Sharks called up defenceman Matt Irwin from Worcester of the AHL Sunday.
Irwin leads the minor-league team in scoring with seven goals and nine assists in 21 games. Six of his goals have come on the power play.
In related news, the Sharks put defenceman Douglas Murray on injured reserve. Murray, who hasn't played since Dec. 3 due to a hand injury, has three assists in 23 games this season.
In what could be interpreted as news that Sidney Crosby will be back in the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup this week, forward Jason Williams was returned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL Sunday.
Crosby sat out a pair of games late last week as a precautionary measure after he was nicked up in a loss to the Bruins Monday. He could return Tuesday at home against the Detroit Red Wings.
In eight games since coming back from a concussion, Crosby has two goals and 10 assists.
Williams played his first game with the Penguins Saturday in a 6-3 win over the New York Islanders Saturday but was held pointless.
Free-agent goalie Marty Turco has reportedly signed a short-term contract with EC Salzburg in Austria.
According to a tweet by European sports writer Matias Strozyk, Turco will only play in the Red Bulls Salute, the final tournament of the 2011 European Trophy. The event is slated for Dec. 16-18 in Vienna and Salzburg.
Turco was 11-11-3 with a 3.02 goals-against average and .897 save percentage with the Chicago Blackhawks last season.

PALM BEACH, FLA. - Before the 2011 season, some 60% to 70% of the coaches' challenges in NFL games were used to try to overturn a scoring play or a turnover.
Last year the league addressed part of that by mandating that all scoring plays be reviewed. This week at its annual meeting, the league will vote whether to add turnovers to the auto-review list.
"We've put a lot of challenges back in (coaches') pockets," Rich McKay, president of the Atlanta Falcons and chairman of the NFL's competition committee, told reporters.
"We just think this system works better, as far as interference with the game, which we don't want replay to do."
The proposal from the Buffalo Bills to have a replay official in a booth upstairs decide reviews, rather than the on-field referee, is intended to further reduce delays.
On other matters:
• McKay said the new kickoffs rule last season — moving them up to the 35-yard line, from the 30 — resulted in fewer returns, of course, but also a 40% drop in concussions suffered on such plays. That was the impetus for the change — player safety, which has primary importance under Roger Goodell's commissionership.
• McKay said that after experimenting the past two pre-seasons with an eighth on-field official, there are no such plans to do so again. There wasn't a compelling argument in favour of it. Seven it is.
• He said there are a few teams that feel quarterbacks are over-protected, but said those teams probably have been penalized more than most for roughing the passer.
• Asked if he was concerned about the spike in yards-per-passing-attempt last season, and rookie quarterbacks racking up impressive passing numbers from the get-go, McKay quipped, "I'm concerned when they're in my division."

Clarence Thomas's confirmation to the US Supreme Court seemed assured until a report of an FBI interview with former assistant Anita Hill was leaked to the press. Ms. Hill testified at Mr. Thomas's confirmation hearings in 1991 that, after she declined to see him socially, he began making sexually suggestive remarks to her that made her uncomfortable. Thomas denied the allegations.
While Hill's accusations ultimately did not prevent Thomas from becoming a Supreme Court justice, workplace rights experts say the episode brought the topic of sexual harassment into everyday conversation, inspiring much debate about what kind of talk and behavior is inappropriate in the workplace.
Soon after Thomas was confirmed, Congress passed a law giving sexual harassment victims the right to seek federal damages, back pay, and reinstatement – a bill that President George H.W. Bush had initially opposed.

Christmas joy as Myia (7) gets green light for surgery to help her walk for the very first time
THIS Dublin girl received a special Christmas gift with news that the HSE will fund surgery to help her walk unaided for the first time.
Myia Corcoran (7) will travel to Bristol in the New Year for the surgery that will eventually allow her to walk without any assistance.
Myia, from Lucan, was two when she was diagnosed with spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy, which affects her mobility.
Her mum, Annemarie, has been researching specialised treatment options for more than two years and she told the Herald of her delight at learning the operation would finally go ahead.
"Myia first travelled to the University of West England in Bristol last January for an initial consultation," she said.
"They put her through testing to see if she was right for the operation."
Annemarie rang the HSE on December 14 and was told the good news that the surgery would be funded.
"It was so exciting to find out just before Christmas," she said.
Things have moved quickly since then and the family has a date for January 6.
"The following day, Myia has the pre-testing, and on January 8, she will be having the operation," she said.
The selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) operation will increase Myia's balance. At the moment, she has to use leg splints, a walker or a wheelchair.
Her mother said that the treatment will give her another 50pc balance on top of what she has, and get rid of her leg braces.
"That's a big thing for a little girl, because we can't get a lot of shoes that fit her with the splints, and they have to have a strap," she said.
"She is a size 12 and she has to wear a size two and a half because of the splints taking up so much room, supporting the foot."
After the operation, she will be able to wear slippers for the first time.
Annemarie and her husband, John, have four other daughters: Shannon (9), Kayleigh (5) Laila ( 2) and Isabella (1).
The family know that it will be at least seven or eight months before Myia will be able to walk unaided.
But she is looking forward to playing games with all of her friends.
"She knows she is going for an operation. Her friend had it and she has seen the recovery," said Annemarie. "She is excited that she will be able to play hopscotch."
The family are still fundraising for the €26,000 needed for her aftercare.
Myia will be in hospital for three weeks, and will need aftercare for two years.
And she will require intensive physiotherapy five times a week for the first six months.
The local community has rallied around, and fundraising efforts have succeeded in raising €17,000 so far.
Meanwhile, one of the highlight's of Myia's year was meeting Olympic boxing champion Katie Taylor.
"She got a signed glove from all the Olympic boxers," her mum said.

By Fire Chief staff
BOSTON — At least eight firefighters have been injured in a nine-alarm fire Wednesday afternoon.
Boston Globe reported that firefighters responded to the building, a 4-story brick brownstone, where a fire extended upward from the basement.
All eight firefighters have been taken to area hospitals and the extent of their injuries is unclear, according to Boston EMS.
In radio conversations, firefighters were heard asking for help getting more water and being ordered out of the building. They quickly requested an increase in the number of firefighters sent to the scene, according to the report.
Kirby Paulson, 16, said the entire neighborhood is "smoked out."
"I heard people screaming, 'Get an ambulance! Get an ambulance!'"
"Beacon Street is filled with fire trucks and EMS vehicles," said Tim Fitzgerald, who works at an office down the street. "It's so windy that smoke is pouring out of the building."

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I told my friend about the imom deal, but I think she feels pretty overwhelmed by the whole thing, and would just rather get Sam (beagle pup) into rescue...she's also afraid he won't get better, and doesn't feel equipped to deal with that. She rescued a poodle a couple years ago, only to see him succumb to cancer a year later, and he had to be put to sleep. I think from now on she just wants to deal with the dog she's had for years. Should I have her try to contact the Nittany rescue as well? I really appreciate all you guys are doing.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Washington has funneled more than $1 billion toward three missile defense systems under development in Israel, a U.S. lawmaker said.
An appropriations defense subcommittee in the U.S. House of Representatives on July 27 appropriated $217 million in funding to help develop a joint missile defense system with Israel. The appropriation is $95.7 million more than requested, notes U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman, D-N.J.
Rothman said the funding "sent a strong message -- to our allies and enemies alike -- by appropriating more funds than ever before toward joint U.S.-Israel and Israeli missile defense programs."
Rothman notes that the House subcommittee since 2007 appropriated $750 million for the Arrow and David's Sling anti-missile systems and $205 million toward Israel's Iron Dome program in 2010.
Iron Dome is designed to combat short-range missile threats from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, specifically rockets and artillery shells of which Hamas and the Hezbollah have fired thousands at Israel in the past.
First deployment will be along the border of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip from where homemade rockets are fired daily into Israel.
After deployment along the Gaza border, it will be used along the Lebanese border, where the Israeli government says Hezbollah has an inventory of more than 40,000 rockets ready to be fired at Israel.
"The growing proliferation and increasing deadliness of missiles around the world pose a direct threat to the U.S. and our allies, making funding missile defense systems vitally important for America's national security," said Rothman in a statement posted on his Web site.

Since his cancer diagnosis in the summer of 2012 third-grader Shane Rogers and his family have kept their eyes on the prize — stay the course and knockout leukemia one strong punch at a time.
Back pain during a family reunion led to the shocking news the otherwise vibrant boy had Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia — a cancer of the white blood cells where excess lymphoblasts overcrowd the bone marrow. Mom Kristen Rogers recently sat down with Village Life and explained though Shane has crossed a grueling, physical fight of one battle they're barely midway through the war.
"Leukemia is different than other cancers," said Kristen. "You can get it to go away quickly, but keeping it at bay is the toughest part. If you don't continue with chemo it will just come back."
In March 2013 the family began what Kristen called "survival mode." Before then Shane endured treatments so taxing he had frequent hospital stays and was so weak he had to be pulled out of Silva Valley Elementary.
Now he's in maintenance mode, yet "what ifs" often create a mental weight just as challenging as the physical strain of survival mode, said Kristen. "When you move into maintenance you don't want to put your guard down. We believe staying positive has a lot to do with how well Shane does so we try hard not to think of the bad things that could pop up," she explained.
Boys with ALL are in treatment typically for three-and-a-half years and girls for two-and-a-half. While the overall cure rate for ALL in children is 80 percent, Shane won't be considered in remission until five years after his last treatment, she added.
In maintenance mode some people don't see a child still fighting. Shane, 9, continues to take an oral dose of chemotherapy daily and travels to UC Davis monthly for chemo through a port in his chest, and via his spine quarterly. Yet Shane's hair has grown back as his body has adjusted to the medications. "He doesn't walk around with that sign … I have cancer," said Kristen. "People might think he looks healthy on the outside and isn't dealing with it anymore, but that's very far from the truth."
Because of the steroids Shane takes five days a month in combination with chemotherapy, he developed steroid induced diabetes. "The steroids cause his blood sugar to spike so he must take insulin," Kristen explained. "The other days he doesn't take steroids his blood sugar can dive dangerously low, which creates its own vicious circle."
Because Shane missed so much school last year they decided to have him repeat third grade, though long school days wipe him out so he is often released one hour earlier than his peers.
Through it all, "Things are headed in the right direction," said Kristen. "I constantly work to keep my worries in check, but I also don't want to ignore things either. Cancer doesn't happen to every kid on the block but when it comes to your doorstep you think of things differently. That can take you down the negative road."
Recently Shane's 4-year-old sister was tested for leukemia when she developed petechial (little red spots under the skin caused by broken capillaries) on her chest. "Even though I know the petechial could've been caused by lots of things, like her car seat, I was nervous because it's a symptom." During the same time Reese had bad stomach-aches and was vomiting. A blood test came back clean, but after consulting with her pediatrician, they will annually test her blood.
"Reese's chances are a lot higher because she's a sibling," said Kristen. "That is always toward the top of my list of fears. Every day I have my moments but I have to balance that and pull myself out of negative thoughts."
Kristen left her full-time job as a pharmaceutical rep and is now a full-time at-home mom. "There's no way I could've stayed focused on a fulltime job," she said.
It's been challenging, but she's grateful husband Sean has been able to support their family. "Things are tight but we're doing the best with what we have," she added.
They won't put their guard down until Shane is in remission. "We want to have as normal a life as possible even though we have a long road ahead of us," she said.
In the meantime Shane remains positive and enjoys being creative with Legos and playing basketball with neighborhood friends.
Kristen said she looks to a bright future and has big plans for it, but needs to make sure her family is strong first. She envisions her platform will be to draw attention to childhood cancers and she also wants to educate others about the importance of healthy eating.
"I'd like to do my best to make it simple for parents to consistently feed their kids healthy foods," she said of the shift her family has made to eating foods that "promote health" as much as possible since Shane's diagnosis. "We did it because we want to be sure we do everything we can so Shane doesn't relapse."
Kristen still rallies for blood donations and people may still donate blood at Blood Source in Folsom in Shane's name, account 0474.
Supportive well wishes through Shane's Village on Facebook and the "amazing, continued community support" have buoyed the family during their hardest days. "The community has never stopped supporting us and after we're back on our feet we want to help others," she said. "I could be doing a lot more right now, but at the risk of my own family I need to make sure our foundation is solid and then move toward helping others."
Through it all Kristen has learned many things about what's really important in life, but her key takeaway is a message she hopes her two children will realize. "Show them you can have your feet knocked out from under you, but get back up and take charge again," she said. "Stay positive, move forward and give back."

Right ok,where do I start? My first opinion is that I think Katie price needs mental help I cant help see her many different personalities destroying her life. I haven't always felt this way about Katie price as when she was with Peter Andre I couldn't help but admire her as a business women and she is a good mum after her disabled son Harvey and junior and princess.
Since her split with Pete she has done everything wrong I personally think the way shes handled things is due to embarrassment through being dumped she will do anything to try and hurt pete the way hes hurt her. She shouldnt of got into a serious relationship so soon and bring that cross dresser into the kids lifes thats just unfair on the kids, you should at least date someone for a few months before bringing him into there lifes whats the point if they split up the kids wont know who else will walk through the door!
Saying everything in the press I just dont agree with her slagging pete off at every chance she gets I personally think shes worried about losing everything she got whilst with pete and i dont think she would have done half as well as she has done now if she didnt marry pete.
Jordan should let katie price out and lock herself away from the press whilst she gets used to her new life as a single mum and concentrate on mediation between her and pete because the kids are all that matters now!
My sons favourite toy!!
I got this product for my son last Christmas, my son is 6years old and has severe delayed development and is at the stage of a one year old.
This product has been battered as my son likes to throw things but I am amazed that it still works.He has learn't to push it to make a noise and he loves the sound it makes.
At the front of the toy are two sections where the firemen can sit and there is a yellow ladder which extends and you can put a fire man onto.There are three fire men which are also included with the toy.
The ladder makes a clicking sound when extending which my son loves.
There are two shutters on each side of the fire engine which come down to reveal some of the fire men's equipment and a hose which spins round and buttons to press for added sound effects.There are many different sounds to hear including a fire bell alarm,telephone ringing,car horn,fire engine alarm.
Two lights light up front and back when the fire engine noise plays.
Noise can be activated by pushing the vehicles,pressing one of the 6 buttons or placing the fire men in there slots.
I always have liked the early learning centre as they have a wide range of toys to help with certain stages of development this toy is especially good for imagination and hand to eye coordination.
This product is still available in the elc shops and every review i have read people love this toy.
cost: 22 pounds online at the early learning centre website.

For years I have looked forward to going to Disneyland Paris as it is easier to get to than America but since I went I feel slightly disappointed.
Here's my experience..
I have a son who has severe delayed development and needs a wheelchair to get around, my son loves mickey mouse clubhouse so I decided that I should contact Dreams come true charity to see if they could make his Dream come true. It was hard to decide what my son actually likes but every time he sees mickey mouse he smiles so Disneyland seemed like a great idea.
Dreams come true charity made it possible for us to have a great family holiday and we got the chance to stay in a campsite for a week and then visit Disneyland for the day and stay at sante fe for a night.
We set off early in the morning from our campsite to Disney as it took us an hour to get there and then we went to the hotel to get our park tickets.When we arrived we saw minnie mouse dancing in the reception area which made us feel all excited to what the day ahead was going to hold,the staff were all friendly.
We walked outside and then jumped on a yellow bus which took us to the park which i thought was great.
we spent all day at the park and then went back to the hotel.
We got our keys and made our way to our room, the key card was easy enough to use.
The room had two double beds, a ceiling fan,phone,tv and furniture for storage.I thought the bed was comfy I certainly did get a good night sleep but I couldn't help but feel disappointed with the decor.
With the price they charge I thought that at least the decor should be upto scratch and apart from the mickey shape free shampoo bottle there was nothing to show that we were staying in a Disney hotel.
There were chips out of the door where it looked like it needed repainting and the mirror frame in the bathroom was badly painted a lot of care and attention certainly hasn't gone into maintaining the theme of the room.
There is a shop on site and 24hour reception I had the worst migrain ever and the reception couldn't provide me with any kind of pain relief.
There was an all you can eat buffet which was about 21euros for adults and 13euros for kids. There wasn't much to chose from really as pretty much everything was repeated all around.
I had chicken fajitas and the chicken had to much powder spices in it which I was disappointed about.I started to feel sick after that so I left my partner to feed the kids whilst I went back to the hotel for a much needed nap to shift my headache, my partner brought me a doggy bag
of some donuts,bread,cheese and pate which i woke up at 2am and ate the donuts were lovely and so was the bread.
My partner didn't like the food either i remember trying one of my sons nuggets and they were disgusting the chicken wasn't white it was Grey!
I do believe this hotel is really overpriced and with what you spend all together going to disneyland paris it is probably best to go to disney in the usa, the dollar is much better than euro to the pound too!
All that was nice about this hotel is the staff!
I still live at home with my mum and son Joshua so tradition is left up to my mum but id do things differently if i had my own house just to add my touches.
We normally put our Christmas tree up 12 days before Christmas and we hang candy canes on the branches for the kids when they visit as well as all the fancy decorations.
We have started to get real tree's as they smell nice and its great going choosing your own.
Since meeting my boyfriend Anthony we have gone up to north wales to visit his parents just before Christmas.They have a lovely cottage on farmlands in the middle of no where and if you look carefully you can see the sea.
The house is gorgeous and they have a real fire which we roasted chestnuts on there last year they were delicious.
I wont be taking josh though as they don't have heating and it can get cold so i am thinking that is why he wouldn't settle last time we went.We normally stay 2 nights then drive home Christmas eve,last Christmas we drove home singing Christmas tunes and stopped off at little chef for our breakfast.
Since my sister has got her own house we spend Christmas eve at hers until about 8pm as i need to get josh in bed ready for Santa.
We normally have a buffet tea as this saves cooking and we can throw away paper plates.
I get josh into bed and tell him that he has to be good for Santa even though he might not understand what i say as he has special needs i like to think he understands who knows maybe he does but just cant show it yet.
My partner stops over Christmas as he lives in a flat a few miles away,this will be out second Christmas together.
We wake up in the morning last year i had to wake josh up he was sleeping in it was my turn for all the mornings hes woken me up,haha.I get more excited than josh,but he doesnt really understand you could spend loads on him and he would still spend hours playing with the wrapping paper.
We spend all morning playing with toys whilst mum slaves away in the kitchen on the full English breakfast,we do offer help but she thinks things would be done quicker if we didn't help charming!
A nice full English with a bucks fizz is what you need to start the day.
After breakfast we like to go for a walk so we go and see if there are any ducks out that need feeding which is nice.
Then my sister comes round with her boyfriend and her two kids and we open presents then sit down for a proper Christmas dinner.My mum likes to do a starter,Christmas dinner then Christmas pudding.
We then play party games with the kids and get them tired out for bedtime and then we stay up till late playing loads of different games, i love playing buzz on ps2 and were having a go at singstar this year so that should be fun.
Boxing day mum normally makes a turkey curry with the leftover turkey and we normally have ham sandwiches for dinner as she loves to cook a leg of ham.
This Christmas i am going to get josh to make christmas pies and decorate some decorations for his bedroom as i am going to make it feel more christmasy.
I love Christmas time its not about the presents its about having your family around and even the kids appreciate that more if you bring them up not spoilt they will understand the true meaning.
We always toast to love ones that have passed away so they are not being forgotten.
Finding Nemo came to our cinema screens on 10th October 2003, Its the story of marlin,his only wish is to bring up his only son Nemo ,warning him the of dangers of the deep blue sea.
Nemo's mother and siblings were tragically taken away making Marlin overprotected of his only son.
Nemo forever wanting to prove he can look after himself gets taken away by a diver after he goes against his dads orders and touches a boat with his Finn for a dare.
Nemo was taken to a dentist fish tank on the Sydney harbor Australia and this film takes you through Marlins journey to find his son.
Along the way Marlin meets many different friends who help him try and find Nemo especially Dorey who seems to be the only fish in the great barrier reef that can read,Dorey reads the address off the drivers scuba goggles to help them find there way, the only problem is Dorey suffers from short term memory loss.
Marlin braves the open waters to find his son but will it be to late? Nemo was meant for a present for the dentist niece Darla who has a reputation for not looking after her pet fish.
why I love this film:
It shows courage and determination and teaches people that if you aim to achieve something that it is possible,like Marlin searching the dark waters for Nemo.
Children love this film and recently it was created into a live show for Disney on ice which hit arenas all over the UK.
My son is weakest on his right arm just like Nemo with his damaged finn and it shows that no matter what disability you may have its possible to achieve something like with Nemo Swimming into the filter to dirty the fish tank.
Even though it hit the cinemas in 2003 Nemo products are still selling and the Disney shop still offers Finding Nemo toys which shows that it is a success, as well as the Oscar it won deservedly.
Dorey is my favourite character as she is funny and charming.Dorey is kind and helps marlin till the very end, I think that fish made the film.
I love the music in the film especially "beyond the sea" performed by Robbie Williams.
Its a great film to watch for all ages and a great dvd to own.
I am so pleased that so many products like this has hit the shelf's you can buy them anywhere now and i bought mine from Argos.
It is good that products like this are made for a cheaper budget as it can help with people who need sensory stimulation.
My son has special needs and a slight visual impairment and products like this really help him.
When i turn his disco ball on he relaxes and enjoys looking at the room when it is lit up in all different colours.
Some stores that offer products for people with special needs i feel rip them off as many items are over priced one of these disco lights from a special sensory brochure would be at least 100 pound.
Ok so the little plastic disco lights might not last as long but there defiantly worth what you pay for it.
I bought mine for 10pounds which is really good.
You can get disco lights in all different sizes and disco lights are not only good for parties they are good for stimulating children's sensory skills.
My son Joshua is 5 he was born on the 4th June 2003 the day before my 18th birthday and is the bestest thing that has ever happened to me.
Joshua was born at 32weeks after he developed fetal hydrops in the womb,josh was born with many problems and hurdles to climb but he has pulled through and hes my miracle.
Joshua has a condition called hydrocephalus (water on the brain) which is controlled by a v.p shunt.
Joshua has delayed development and is reviewed at being the stage of a one year old.I am sick of having my child being labeled as he cant do this, he cant do that,when i know that there are so many things he has learnt to do that i never ever thought i would see.
I was told that it was possible Joshua might have trouble seeing and hearing but after endless test i am relieved to know that they are both OK.
Joshua can make anyone smile,he is so lovable and cheeky.Josh can hum a number of different tunes ranging from dean martin to forest gump theme tune lol.
He has learnt to sit up and can shuffle to places on his bottom.
Josh loves to stack bricks but at the moment can only manage three.
Joshua can feed himself although can be abit messy as he is going through a stage of throwing things.
To communicate josh gives me a kiss if he wants to go to bed and pulls my hand under his arm to be held.
This year josh has made big progress he can walk using a walker at school and will be having one at home when he only needs the support off one adult.
Josh has his wheels people like to stare but there only jealous because of his fancy wheels.
Children tend to be scared of him but thats only because there parents dont educate there children about disabled children and why they might be that way.
Joshua loves everyone and he wont not smile back if you have a different colour skin or if you have no limbs.
Joshua even thinks that its funny when people sneeze he loves the noises sneezing makes.
josh loves playing with his friction cars and his bricks.
Joshua loves it when his daddy watches the football and laughs when players score.
Josh loves to go swimming he loves the hydrotherapy pool.
Joshua loves to watch playhouse disney and especially loves little Einsteins as they play all his favourite classical tunes.
Josh loves his cousins they play with him and make him feel loved,there his best friends.
While many parents cant wait for there children to get married and have kids, I Just cant wait until josh learns to walk that is what many people take for granted.I hope one day josh will get to a stage where he finds love and can live on his own but that may never happen.All i want for him is for him to be happy that's all that matters.
On November the 5th every year the uk celebrates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot which took place in 1605,a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, were alleged to be attempting to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, England.
We celebrate by lighting bonfires and setting off fireworks,which leaves the outside look eerie.Some children like to build a guy and ask "penny for the guy".
Bonfire poem:
Remember, remember the fifth of November
It's Gunpowder Plot, we never forgot
Put your hand in your pocket and pull out your purse
A ha'penny or a penny will do you no harm
Who's that knocking at the window?
Who's that knocking at the door?
It's little Mary Ann with a candle in her hand
And she's going down the cellar for some coal
I love everything about bonfire night but I would think it would be much more safer and cheaper if everyone went to a controlled firework display.
The emergency departments are always really busy at that time of year and fireworks that get into the wrong hands are used to scare people and damage property.
I would never want to stop this day as its fun for all ages and an excuse to party.
You will find at that time of year treacle toffee,toffee apples,parkin cake and black peas will sell in most shops.
Pot noodles were created in 1977 and are still selling well today.Pot noodles are the best hot snack that i can think of and are sold in most shops.Pot noodles are not really that expensive and are available in small,medium and king size.
All you need for this snack is some hot water which you put into the pot noodle,fill to the line and hey presto give it a stir and add the sachet of sauce yummy!
Pot noodle has a wide range of different flavours now but my favourite has got to be spicy curry it just presses all the right buttons for me.
Here are a list of all other flavours available:
sweet & spicy
sweet & sour
beef & tomato
chicken satay
chicken & mushroom
lamb hot pot
original curry
chinese chow mein
tikka masala
bombay bad boy
So its safe to say your spoilt for choice.
Pot noodle claims to have no artificial colourings or preservatives in there range and have reduced the amount of salt they use 50% since 2005 and this snack manages to taste just as good.
All of there Pot noodle range are 100% suitable for vegetarians too.
I don't think any type drug should be legalized it just makes it look for it to be OK to take drugs when its not.
For people that need the drugs for medical reason Im sure they can get this on prescription.
I think cannabis is just as bad as any other drug and drugs effect people in all different kinds of ways.
I knew a lad that smoked cannabis all the time and he started to have difficulty learning and everything he did became slow like his speech and reactions,so a good enough reason why you shouldn't be under the influence of this whilst driving.
I have seem people react differently to this drug and some people have changed and become aggresive.
Why should it be legalized? there is no reason that it should be and if it can effect peoples health then its best not to get it available all around the UK,the nhs is suffering enough without the need to treat people with symptoms caused by taking drugs,just like alcohol abuse.
If you smoke cannabis its a lot more harmful than smoking normal tobacco and we all know what health risk comes with that.
I love the ranges that Durex has brought out and I have bought this item.
This 2 in 1 brings you a lube and massage lotion all in one.
The smell is lovely and if you happen to have a taste it's sweet.
With the Durex range you know its going to be safe to use with condoms.
This item is OK to use for a massage for the first minute and then it soaks into the skin and makes it hard for your hand movements to slide smoothly. So for me I would stick to the basic oil for a good massage, although it does feel nice when it is applied and the skin afterward's is left feeling soft.
This is great for using as a lube, it smells and taste nice so makes it more fun for your partner.
I bought mine from ann summers and it wasn't that bad price wise but you can get lube that is cheaper and oil separately but if your partner surprises you with this i am sure that what ever you think of it you will make it work.
For me the best way to lose weight is not to obsess about losing it,if you just make small changes at a time the weight will come off a whole lot easier.
My downfall is fizzy drinks and when i cut these out then i lost weight without even exercising.
Obviously exercise is the best key to losing weight but when were giving up everything we love and changing out lifestyles it is so hard to get into getting fit.
The more you diet the more you think about food,probably more than when you was piling on the pounds.
There are no quick fixes and as with everything thats good it takes time and effort to achieve the goals we all want.
I have tried endless diets but have become a constant yo yo dieter but that was all down to me just wanting the fat to melt away overnight.
we are led to believe weight loss clubs care about is but if they did why is there a price tag?I have been to weight watchers but as i couldn't afford it every week i stopped going.
The best key to weight loss is finding out the cause of weight gain,mine is to little exercise and boredom eating.
We have to remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that we wasn't born this way and that it is possible to get back into shape.
I'm still on my weight loss journey but its going to take time i didn't gain this weight overnight.
Whats helping me is keeping a diary of what i have ate and how i felt that day this is a great key to success if you look back at the diary you can see where you can improve.
Dieting is a daunting word its just an excuse for everyone to know your losing weight but I Am sick of talking about it,i am sick of it ruling my life.I am not dieting,I am getting healthy for me!

My view on Pizza hut:
Delivery - I have always found that pizza hut has been the fastest to deliver and the food has always been hot.If i have ever had a problem with my order they have refunded me in full.
There are great offers for collection or delivery just ask when you phone up or you will see them on the menu or website.
Restaurant - The staff are friendly and polite and will walk you to your table.They offer colouring packs for the children to keep them busy.The service has always been quick and any needs have always been met.
I haven't had a bad meal in pizza hut yet the food is delicious and not bad value for money.
The inside of the restaurant is nicely decorated and is kept tidy.
Any children will receive a balloon and when you have paid the bill you get those little sweets which is a nice touch.
During the week day you can dine for 5.99 for adults and 3.49 for children you can help yourself to as much pizza,pasta/salad bar as you want which is great.
If you cant manage to eat everything and need to go then you can get a box to take your left overs in which is great,if they dont ask you just ask them to sort it out.
I love pizza hut and its a great place to eat before a fun night out at the cinema or bowling.
I think that this shop is expensive but i think the quality and choice of toys is so worth while getting.
This shop is great for educational toys and each toys clearly illustrates what the toy aims to do whether its sensory,fine motor skills,social skills,imagination etc.
I love there craft selection and have bought bottles of paint for as little as one pound.Also good prices are the non spill paint pots,chunky chalks,glue,glitter etc.
As well as craft stuff there is a selection of musical instruments i have bought my son the bells which you tie to your hands to help him with his weakened right side and they were only 2 pounds.
you can buy ball pools,balls and loads of outside play stuff as well.
I have bought my son a sandpit.water pit which you can use inside and out which is good quality.
I love this store and like there variety although smaller prices on certain products would be nice.
this store offers a wide range of products and most stores you will find a babies 'r' us and i love there baby products.I got my son a cot bed from there and it was great quality,5years on and its ready for the next addition.you can buy electrical and garden toys as well.
There is a wide range of different party ware and i am sure you will find any that your child may like.
I always find the staff to be helpful and if there out of stock of anything they will ring you up to let you know when its in store.
Also if you buy bulky items they will happily assist you to your car.
There are also some good offers you can find in store and if you like to earn money of vouchers you can register for a gold card which will help you get further discounts.
I would be surprised if your local toys r us didn't have what you were looking for.

They know better than most what Ray Emery went through during his tumultuous stay here in Ottawa.
His former Senators teammates -- whom Emery faces tomorrow night in Philadelphia for the first time -- have run through a long list feelings and reactions about to Emerys run with the club.
But they are not surprised at Emerys rehabilitation of both his reputation and career (so far) with the Philadelphia Flyers after a year of exile in Russia.
Im really not surprised, said Senators defenceman Chris Phillips, a teammate of Emerys through his entire time with the club including the run to the 2007 Stanley Cup final. It comes down to talent and Ray was one of the most athletic goaltenders I ever played with. I really believed it was just a matter of time until he came back. Hes done a great job of turning things around quickly.
After that run to the Final, things degenerated quickly around Emery. He was frequently late for practices (it had happened even during the Senators playoff run, but when youre winning...) and there were rumours of too much off-ice partying. There were the accusations of road rage and traffic violations. He slipped to a 12-13-4 record with a goals against average of 3.13 and a save percentage of .890.
It all ended when the Senators decided to buy Emery out of the last two years of his contract in the summer of 2008, a deal that had $6.75 million remaining.
I dont know if wake up call is what you would call it, but in the end it might have been the best thing that happened to him, said Phillips. I think he learned some lessons. Its good to see hes back in the game.
Senators centre Jason Spezza, who lived with Emery when they played in Binghamton of the American Hockey League, is Emerys closest friend on the Senators. They speak frequently.
Emery is off to a great start with the Flyers. Hes the eighth-ranked goalie in the league with a 9-3-1 record, 2.27 goals against average and a .922 save percentage.
Hes real happy. Hes winning games and enjoying Philly, said Spezza.
Spezza is not far off the mark when he says Emery brought much of the situation on himself here in Ottawa, and that there was some piling on in the media.
He created a little bit of it himself and it snowballed. It seemed like there were people who wanted to run him out of town near the end, he said. A lot of it was facilitated by outside sources, people who wanted to see him out of town. Ray never wanted to leave here. He was told to leave."
Its another game. I think everybody is happy for him that he has been able to turn himself and his career around, said Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson. Hes a good athlete and a great goalie and hes worked hard to get where he is.

Do Farm Programs Encourage Native Grassland Losses?
Federal programs may encourage farmers to convert native grasslands—land that has never been cultivated — to production of corn, soybeans, and other crops, leading to potential losses of Northern Plains' native grasslands. Federally subsidized crop insurance reduces risk associated with crops grown on converted grasslands and, over time, increases average returns to production by making crop farming more attractive. Other programs, including Federal disaster assistance and marketing loan benefits, also reduce risk and increase returns to crop production on converted grasslands. While these programs can be important risk management tools for farmers, they may also result in unintended, environmentally damaging actions.

Semiconductor material with three energy bands could be used to make solar cells with efficiencies of around 45 percent, compared with 25 percent for conventional cells that use a single semiconductor and 39 percent for cells with layers of mixed semiconductors.
The researchers found that introducing a few atoms of oxygen into a zinc-manganese-tellurium (ZnMnTe) alloy splits the compound semiconductor's conduction band into two parts. Similarly, adding nitrogen to a semiconductor such as gallium arsenide phosphide will also give a multi-band semiconductor.
LBNL has licensed the technology to RoseStreet Labs, a startup in Phoenix, AZ, which plans to commercialize solar cells made from these multi-band semiconductors. Because it's an entirely new technology, though, it's hard to say when such a solar cell will be available, Walukiewicz says.

BANK of Queensland's controversial decision to avoid redeeming special shares has seen 90 per cent of the investments switched into another stock-offer from the lender.
In December 2007, the Bank of Queensland raised $200 million via a special offering called perpetual equity preference shares. The first date flagged for redemption at $100 each was this month.
But the 268-branch lender instead decided against paying out those shares, disappointing some investors.
BoQ instead offered to buy those shares at $100, but the proceeds would be automatically recycled into new BoQ hybrid securities offering better-paying dividends.
BoQ yesterday said 1.8 million of two million old preference shares would be converted. Almost 198,000 of the old shares would remain listed, with them trading at $88 yesterday.
"With most offers, no matter how compelling, there will be a proportion who won't take it up," BoQ said.
The bank also said it had no knowledge of investors getting caught out buying stock after it could be registered for conversion.
The 90 per cent acceptance was a "positive indication of (investor) thoughts about the offer", it said.
But one investor expressed "disappointment" with the decision to not redeem.
"Typically the market expects them to be redeemed," he told The Courier-Mail.
The investor said at least BoQ had offered a way of getting into a new investment. He intended to switch away from the old shares.
"The old (preference shares) are dead ducks."
The option of redeeming the shares and letting investors choose to invest in the special shares would have been more transparent, he said.

Dairy trading experts offer strategies and practical perspectives to optimize market performance.
By Carl Babler, Atten Babler Commodities, LLC
Knowing your market is about monitoring price behavior and price change that provide your operation a marketing opportunity. Thus, I submit the following observations regarding the January through June 2013 Class III milk futures average price trend.
Current price drivers are as follows:
• Cow numbers are declining from cyclical high.
• Cheese demand is in a seasonal strong price period.
• Dairy production margins are improving as the corn price has dropped $1.00 off its weather-market summer high.
• U.S. dairy policy is unknown since Congress is inactive.
• Global economies: China –slowing; EU member-nations facing financial breakdown.
• U.S. government faces year-end "financial cliff"; action required.
• Price: upward trends are observed.
• The milk price has moved up $3.79/cwt., from $15.57 in May to $19.36.
• Block cheese price has moved up $.63/lb., from $1.46 to $2.09.
• The current average for period at $18.89 Class III futures is in the 87th percentile of the record high $21.67 Class III announced price.
• The trend line on the daily chart has broken to the down side.
• Relative strength showing negative divergence.
• 40-day moving average has broken to the down side.
• MACD shows divergence.
It has been a good price run for fundamentals as described. Indicators are now showing trend momentum and strength is fading. See charts below (Source: FutureSource).
Bottom line: Know the opportunity offered by a $3.00-plus run-up in your milk price average. Positions taken in milk must be matched to positions in feed as you look through the first six months of 2013.

CT industry prepares for 2008 rebound after last year's rout
CT industry prepares for 2008 rebound after last year's rout
Shrinking prices for 64-slice products offer bargains in market about to be transformed by new offers
CT vendors had the worst year in recent memory in 2007, and this year was shaping up to be even worse. But that was before the Feds stepped in.
Fearing recession, the Federal Reserve drastically cut short-term interest rates and increased liquidity in the financial markets, making it easier for imaging centers and hospitals to borrow money.
"More and more hospitals are financing equipment, so the better rates they can get will be a benefit to us," said Joe Cooper, senior manager for the CT business unit of Toshiba America Medical Systems, whose dynamic volume CT is scheduled to begin shipping in summer.
"There is going to be a great opportunity for new technology, such as the Aquilion One, especially for the primary stroke centers across the country," Cooper said.
Toshiba execs are not the only ones excited. Rallied by the federal actions, CT vendors now are predicting at worst a flat market compared wtih 2006--or as much as a 7% or 8% gain. These gains may be more in units sold than revenue gained, however. And that is very good news for buyers.
Last year, lack of CT demand wore down the street price of new systems. The average price paid for a scanner last year was $874,000 compared with $941,000 the year before. Street price for superpremium CT scanners, dominated by the 64-slice systems but buoyed by prices paid for Siemens dual-source systems, dropped down $50,000 from $1.17 million to $1.12 million, according to vendor estimates. But don't feel too bad for
They had been riding a wave of good fortune that carried them to nearly $1.8 billion in new unit revenues during 2006, an almost 50% jump from 2003. In 2007, CT makers took a double-digit hit, as demand for 64-slice scanners, which had accounted for much of the past three years' gain, took a nosedive to about $1.4 billion.


text: Many Wii owners may have started thinking as to what is next to come for their little machine. And can we expect something else good and new before the Holidays? Well only time will tell, but besides great games coming out, now would be an opportune time for a new channel to come out as well. With a new channel, there are so many possibilities. Many have already been talked about, but I am going to go over a few more of what could occur. Demo Channel Seems to be the hot topic of debates all over the planet, and would easily be the best addition to the Wii. Could give gamers a better look at new titles that they have not heard much about, or play a bit of one of their favorite upcoming games. Again this seems to be the most wanted channel out there, and would no doubt be a good move by Nintendo if they were to do so. I mean, playing some of their new releases could add for more sales, and could allow for Nintendo to make new Franchises, knowing that people have had a chance to play them already and might sell well later on. Sports Channel Yes there is already sporting news in the News Channel, but what I would like to see happen is different. Starting out, Wii owners would set their setting on the channel, where they live etc. Then depending on where they live, they can receive up to date sports news about all of their favorite regional teams. As well, they could look at different things, like team line-ups etc, and if the right things were put in place, could perhaps watch a select number of games on their Wii. Now of course, Nintendo would have to team up with some sort of Sporting franchise/company and would need tv settings on their Wii. Which leads me to my next point. TV Channel Could allow Wii user's to watch certain programs on different channels. And by that I mean of course, when you are in the "TV Channel", you can switch channels and volume while on the "TV Channel" with your Wii remote. + and - buttons used for the volume, control pad up and down for channel changing and the 1 and 2 buttons for tv menu's or perhaps a tv guide. Its a long shot, but again if they teamed with the right people/network it could happen. Also obviously you would not be able to watch a lot of shows, as if they were just starting out, they would only have a few available. Also, if they worked out things with the movie people, they could have movies downloadable in the shop channel, and have them watch them on their "TV Channel" of course. Ad for whether or not they would be new or old Movies, well I could see older movies working better, a chance for movie makers to give their films made a while ago a last ditch effort to make some more cash, and have people watch some of their favorites while growing up, or be watched by those who were not around to watch them the first time around. Now of course, these might be far fetched, and may never happen. But we may see variations of these channels, and we can all hope for the best and expect the best from Nintendo.

A Late Quartet
2012, R, 105 min. Directed by Yaron Zilberman. Starring Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Mark Ivanir, Imogen Poots, Wallace Shawn, Liraz Charhi.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Fri., Nov. 16, 2012
If you are among those who long to see Christopher Walken play a character other than the wacky eccentric who speaks with a weird cadence, get yourself to the Arbor Cinema to see A Late Quartet. Do it soon, too. There are few other reasons to see this movie, despite its interesting premise and stellar cast. A Late Quartet overplays its bass line and loses sight of the melody, making for a movie that is heavy-handed and sluggish. It remains earthbound when it should soar.
Walken plays Peter Mitchell, the eldest member of a world-renowned string quartet called the Fugue, which has played together for the past 25 years. But when the quartet gathers to rehearse for its upcoming season, his fingers cramp while playing his cello, and the problem is soon diagnosed as the early stages of Parkinson's. His announcement to the group that he intends to quit the Fugue unleashes a rash of internecine conflicts that had heretofore remained beneath the surface. First violinist Daniel Lerner (Mark Ivanir) is an unyielding perfectionist who makes honest discussion impossible. Second violinist Robert Gelbart (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and violist Juliette Gelbart (Catherine Keener) are a married couple. All of them have ties going back to their student days at Juilliard, where Peter was one of their teachers. Egos vie for attention amid the shake-up of the quartet, and a marriage frays under the stress. Add in a further complicating factor created by up-and-coming violinist Alexandra Gelbart, who is the daughter of Robert and Juliette and has issues of her own.
While most of the drama simmers at a low boil, it rarely peaks or gets messy. Maybe the film provides an authentic look at New York's music aesthetes, but it isn't terribly engaging to watch. Only Walken creates a character with a rich emotional core that manages to convey complicated feelings. Everyone else seems too refined to allow personal dramas to shake their equilibrium. Not helping matters is the overly dark camerawork that causes certain sets to look as though the usually outstanding cinematographer Frederick Elmes might have misplaced his light meter. Any artist who has worked as part of a group is sure to find a certain resonance in the offstage tussles of A Late Quartet, but there's too little going on here to sustain other viewers.

I am currently learning C++ at ITT, and I have been using their class book as well as other books to learn more about the langauge. In doing so, I have come across some inconsistencies in what the authors think is important.
My class book by Walter Savitch makes no real references to 'unsigned' variables. Another book by Jesse Liberty uses 'unsigned' variables in just about all of his examples. It doesn't save any memory by declaring an integer 'unsigned', so why bother?

In a country like Turkey, Government offers booze, bars, night clubs, and massage parlors and allows sluts for incoming foreign tourists. This is boosting economy. This causes their business to flourish. The question that I have is this. Can a Muslim Government proceed with Non-Islamic ways of providing entertainment to Non-Muslim tourist? Of course doing this will encourage locals as well to engage into all these vices but in principal can politics interfere with Islam especially in economy.Read More

San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper Pat Onstad has been selected as Major League Soccer's Honda Player of the Month for August by the Professional Soccer Reporters Association (PSRA). The 2003 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year recorded four shutouts in five games during the month, posting a 3-1-1 record and bringing the Quakes to within four points of the Western Conference lead.
Onstad began the month with a shutout in front of nearly 20,000 fans at Spartan Stadium on Aug. 7, stopping all four shots and earning the clean sheet in San Jose's 2-0 victory over D.C. United. Four days later, the Quakes appeared to have taken a road point in Chicago but a late Damani Ralph goal with nine minutes to play gave San Jose their only defeat of the month by a margin of 2-1.
On Aug. 14 with Onstad again in the nets, San Jose began a string of three consecutive shutouts by defeating the Kansas City Wizards 2-0 on the road. The Canadian international followed that game with two straight shutouts at home to end the month - a 3-0 over the Dallas Burn on August 21 and a 0-0 tie versus the Colorado Rapids on August 28. The three consecutive shutouts were a club record and Onstad's shutout streak currently stands at 279 minutes.
In his two years in MLS, August has been Onstad's best month. Of his 14 career shutouts, seven have come during the month and in 10 career games in August, Onstad has allowed only five goals for a 0.49 GAA, including a 6-2-2 all-time record in the month.
Onstad, who currently has 42 caps for Canada, will miss the next two Earthquakes games as he is set to represent Canada in CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying. Canada will take on Honduras on Saturday and then travel to San Jose, Costa Rica to face Costa Rica on Wednesday, Sept. 8.
The two-time MLS All-Star was the runaway winner for the month, with New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis and D.C. United forward Jaime Moreno also receiving votes. This is Onstad's first Player of the Month award since joining the League in 2002 and it comes on the heels of two Honda Player of the Week honors (Week - 2 and 7). The monthly winner is selected by a panel of journalists from the Professional Soccer Reporters Association (PSRA).
April: Carlos Ruiz (Los Angeles Galaxy)
May: Alejandro Moreno (Los Angeles Galaxy)
June: Chris Klein (Kansas City Wizards)
July: Amado Guevara (MetroStars)
August: Pat Onstad (San Jose Earthquakes)

Whitewater rallies against racism
Whitewater rallied in a fight against hate after racial slurs were found written on a bathroom stall at Whitewater High School.
But instead of dwelling on the incident, students, staff and community members are using it as a springboard for educating one another about diversity.
"The important thing is to use the energy (we've generated) to create a better community," said Lauren Smith, a concerned parent who helped organize a recent campaign against hate.
A student found the graffiti�which named six black students and threatened death�in a bathroom Thursday, May 14.
School officials notified the students immediately, but they did not notify district families until Tuesday, May 19, when a letter was sent home with students.
School officials said the incident opened their eyes to what really is happening in school hallways.
"I think it was a wake-up call for us," said Vance Dalzin, high school principal. "We take a lot of pride in our school. We like to think we celebrate cultural diversity � and this was just a horrible, horrible incident that happened."
Community members said the incident has opened the conversation about race in the community.
"I was surprised and saddened by it," said Smith, whose biracial daughter is a fourth-grader at Washington Elementary School and has been the subject of "minor" name-calling and derogatory comments. "But it's not a problem of one person in one place. It's obviously an issue that requires some education."
Several students and community members organized a campaign against hate Tuesday.
They marched around the flagpole in silent protest and made and distributed hundreds of buttons that carried a simple message: "Stop the hate."
"(It was) just to show that we are united against hate," junior Elizabeth McComb told Channel 3 in Madison. "We as a student body do not support racism or any other type of hate. We make up the school and the school's image. We represent it, so we have to represent it in a positive way that represents what we believe."
Police and school officials said they have interviewed more than 30 students during their investigation. They have a few suspects, but the investigation is ongoing.
A $1,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the conviction of the person responsible for the graffiti.
Some parents pulled their children out of school after the incident, Dalzin said. Some have returned, and some have not, he said.
Mary Sue Reutebuch, a local music teacher who also helped organize the campaign, said the community must take responsibility for educating its children about diversity.
"This is a community problem," she said. "I firmly believe it takes a village to raise a child, and I'm one of the villagers, and I have to do something about this."
The superintendent is forming a task force to coordinate diversity education, and school officials are planning to offer diversity education before school lets out, Dalzin said. They hope to demonstrate the school is not a place where hate is tolerated, he said.
"That's not what we're about as a school," he said. "That's not what we want to be."

Want to get lucky with your guy?
Don't cry. While we all might know this intuitively, science has proven that a woman's tears can cause a drop in a man's testosterone levels. That's because there's a unique chemical component in women's tears that reduce sexual arousal.
In the study, men smelled women's tears and then a saline solution—the men were less aroused after sniffing a lady's watery results whereas the saline had no effect.
The funniest part of the study? "The researchers originally set out to study both men and women's tears, but only one man responded to their ad seeking those who could cry prolifically."
What's the best way to get your guy to back away from the bedroom?

'We are pleased to join the Westport family,' says principal of new owning family

The details of the deal were not released, but a statement from the company said Westport will continue to build yachts in Port Angeles and the Grays Harbor County cities of Westport and Hoquiam.
Westport's assets have been acquired by Westport LLC, an ownership group that includes members of the Louisiana-based Chouest family, the company announced in the statement.
The statement said Westport will retain its current president, Daryl Wakefield; general manager Dave Hagiwara; and "the rest of Westport's management team and employees."
"We will continue to pursue the employment of skilled local workers and will remain an active participant in the communities Westport serves," Gary Chouest, principal of the Chouest family, said in the statement.
"We are pleased to join the Westport family and look forward to pursuing the synergies that exist between the Chouest companies, ACY and Westport," he said.
ACY is American Custom Yachts, a yacht builder in Stuart, Fla.
Westport Shipyard Inc. was renamed Westport LLC as a division of Edison Chouest LLC of Cut Off, La.
"Gary [Chouest] has always been passionate about our industry, and we are honored to count him as a customer and now our majority owner as well," Wakefield said.
Westport produces composite-construction yachts of 85, 98, 112, 130 and 164 feet.
The longest come out of its 100,000-square-foot, 72-foot-tall plant at 637 Marine Drive in Port Angeles.
A 164-foot Westport manufactured in Port Angeles in 2010 was offered Saturday by a Florida broker for $33.75 million, according the broker's website.
Westport, founded in 1964, employs about 400 people at its three sites in Washington and has completed more than 120 yachts since 2000, according to the company statement.
Last July, Westport announced layoffs at its plants in Port Angeles, Westport and Hoquiam because of a lack of work.
A company representative then would not comment to the Peninsula Daily News on how many employees were laid off and how many remained in Port Angeles.
The Chouest family of companies includes large holdings in its primary business in the oil and gas marine transportation industry worldwide, according to the company statement.
One of these holdings, Edison Chouest Offshore, operates a marine transportation fleet of more than 200 vessels, ranging from 87 feet to 360 feet long, according to the company's website at www.chouest.com.
These vessels are built to support the deepwater oil drilling industry.
Edison Chouest Offshore operates shipyards in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Brazil, according to the company website.

What is the best place to search records from Ireland
I have very few details of the family Murphy,listed on the link below before they came to New Zealand and have no idea where to start looking in Ireland for their records. A lot of the information sends me on a wild goose chase, I would like to find birth records that name the parents so I can keep going back but seem to be hitting a brick wall with every search.

There is a family history centre in Dublin, if you follow the link I am sure they will be able to direct you - http://www.nli.ie/
Good luck...............
Thank you! I will give it a try.

So I was looking for a no-bake cheesecake recipe and all of them called for heavy whipping cream. I of course didn't have that in my house...so I tried to find one that didn't have it in there.
I came across a recipe that actually called for evaporated milk to be used instead of the whipping cream. I was skeptical at first, but it worked like a charm! Was exactly what I needed.
Just use even portion of evaporated milk to an even portion of whipping cream to substitute! It was fabulous!
