NHL takeaways: We probably should have seen this one coming
The Canadiens are still perfect in the postseason, and Canada's last and only hope to end a two-decade Stanley Cup drought has taken another step.
Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban scored his second goal of Thursday's game on a power play 4:17 into the second overtime, and playoff giant Daniel Briere had an assist on that goal — his 112th point in 113 playoff games — as the Canadiens took a 1-0 series lead over the Boston Bruins with a 4-3 win in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal at TD Garden in Boston.
Alas, Boston also lost Game 1 against the Detroit Red Wings in the first round — then won four straight — so the loss isn't cause for panic just yet. But Montreal has won all three games at TD Garden this season and the Habs have a long and mostly pleasant history with the Bruins.
Game 2 is Saturday in Boston.
Carey Price goes against the grain: The Montreal goaltender was caught moving to his left on a pass across the slot to Boston forward Brad Marchand in the first overtime. Marchand, a left shot, was cutting back across the slot and had the open side of the net that Price had just vacated available. Somehow, Price managed to stop his momentum, stick out his right pad and get the puck with his toe. It was one of his 48 saves.
Stanley Cup playoffs
1. Carey Price, G, Montreal: Price is 17-8-3 lifetime against Boston in the regular season, but has lost both series which he has played against the Bruins. He took all four losses in a sweep in 2009; he and the Canadiens came up just short in a seven-game defeat in 2011 (with Game 7 decided in OT). But on Thursday night, Price got inside the Bruins' heads a bit with spectacular saves through the first two periods and in the first overtime, when Boston threw 14 of its 51 shots at him.
2. P.K. Subban, D, Montreal: It was clear from the outset that the Bruins were targeting Subban, the quarterback who makes the Canadiens offense and power play click. But Subban was poised, Subban eluded a big hit from Jarome Iginla, and Subban potted a pair of goals, including the game-winner in double overtime on a slap shot through traffic.
3. Brad Marchand, LW, Boston: Marchand had two assists and was around the puck all night. He just missed scoring when Price made his aforementioned best save of the night.
Montreal 4, Boston 3 (2 OT)
Series: Montreal leads, 1-0.
Key stat: Boston goalie Tuukka Rask has faced Montreal more than any other team in his career, but has just three wins in 18 games against the Canadiens.
Key player: Rene Bourque, RW, Montreal. Bourque had nine goals in 63 regular-season games. He has four in five playoff games, including a second-period tally that gave Montreal a 2-0 lead. He also added an assist.
What we learned: Despite having not played since completing a sweep of Tampa Bay on Tuesday of last week, Montreal did not suffer for momentum. The Canadiens came out strong in the first period, matching chances with Boston and getting on the board first when Subban snapped a well-placed shot through a screen and past Rask at 11:23 of the first period. For the eighth time in these playoffs, a team tied a game in the last 2:30 of regulation, this time when Boston defenseman Johnny Boychuk buried Marchand's feed with 1:58 to play in regulation to send the game to overtime. But for the first time in those eight rallies, the team that gave up the lead won the game. Boston threw everything it had at Price, scoring three goals in the third period. But forwards David Krejci and Iginla both missed good chances and defenseman Dougie Hamilton hit a post. The Canadiens did a great job of getting in the shooting lanes, blocking a whopping 30 shots. It's too early to draw comparisons yet to Montreal's magnificent run to the conference finals in 2010 behind the goaltending of Jaroslav Halak, but the Habs have won 24 of the prior 33 meetings between these teams and they have won four of five meetings with Boston this season. Perhaps another cloud of Montreal mystique is forming over the Hub of Hockey?
Next game: Saturday at Boston, 12:30 p.m. EST
Two more series get underway on Friday when Pittsburgh hosts the New York Rangers at Consol Energy Center at 7 p.m. ET, and Chicago hosts Minnesota at the United Center at 9:30 p.m. Given the storied history of the Canadiens-Bruins series, the proximity involved in the Kings–Ducks series and the long-standing rivalry between the Rangers and Penguins, it's hard not to think about the lost opportunity that came with Colorado's elimination. Watching the Blackhawks and Avs match skill and speed would have been spectacular playoff theater. Not that the Wild care.

Fuckin sexy!! O.O'
She looks so real, like an exotic blend of african, asian, and some kind of pacific islander.
Even the tats looks smooth, the colors are well contrasted to one another, and the look she gives, suggest that I follow her, wherever she's trying to take me.
I'll let her know she has a fan. Glad you liked the tatts because i had so much fun doing those.

She awkwardy looks like someone I know, this is really disturbing.
:D send me a link, i would love to see the similarity (ps: I can imagine how awkward that most have felt for a bit)


text: Made this one as a cold brew. Brewed for about 12 hours. It turned out quite refreshing. The orange and bergamot are stronger in the cold brew than when hot. The black base is also distinctive but is not overpowering. I did not add any sweetener but I think it would have held up to some sugar being added. Even though it is a cold brew, it actually reminds me of an iced tea.

Scott Brash keeps his head to follow Ben Maher's lead at European Jumping Championships
Great Britain, the Olympic champions, are within sight of their first team title since 1989 at the European Championships after clear rounds from three riders in the second round of the competition yesterday.
Ben Maher and Cella, the leaders in the individual event, Scott Brash on Hello Sanctos and Michael Whitaker on Viking all had faultless rounds to give Britain a slender lead of 0.27 points — less than the cost of one fence — going into today's final element. Switzerland and France are in second and third place respectively.
Maher, who went first for Britain over Frank Rothenberger's 13-fence course, finished four seconds inside the time allowed on Cella, Jane Clark's exceptional 11-year-old mare whom he started riding only this year.

Lender Processing Services had net earnings of $2.8 million for the fourth quarter and $70.4 million for the full year of 2012, even though revenue declined 2.1% from 4Q11 as default services income fell 26% due to a drop in foreclosure starts.
For the same periods in 2011, LPS lost $21.2 million and earned $96.5 million, respectively.
Fourth-quarter results were adjusted for charges totaling $0.69 per share, including $0.33 for estimated legal and regulatory contingencies.
At the end of January, LPS agreed to pay 44 states and the District of Columbia $121 million to settle claims of unlawful foreclosure practices, including robo-signings.
Still, revenue for origination technology was up over 20% because of higher refinance volumes. Servicing technology revenue increased by 7% and default technology volume was up 3%.
"LPS enters 2013 a stronger company that is increasingly well positioned to enhance the mortgage value chain and deliver innovative technology, data and expertise to our clients," said Hugh Harris, president and chief executive. "The rapidly evolving mortgage landscape continues to create new requirements for our clients that result in significant long-term growth opportunities for LPS."
"We are extremely pleased with the recent conclusion of many of the company's legacy legal and regulatory matters which allows us to focus more of our time and energy on growth and innovation. LPS' technology leadership, scale and commitment to compliance excellence provide significant strategic advantages. We are confident these unique capabilities, together with our company's strong cash flow and disciplined capital allocation, will create significant long-term value for our stakeholders."

Gothic drama generates €33m for Irish economy
Gothic drama 'Penny Dreadful' starring Hollywood actors Josh Hartnett and Eva Green has brought over €30m into the Irish economy during its six month shoot.
The series, which will complete production next week, was shot on location around Wicklow and Dublin and employed over 350 Irish cast and crew - including Emmy Award-winning Irish director Dearbhla Walsh who directed two of the episodes.
Created by three time Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Logan, the series is set in Victorian England and sees literary figures such as Dr. Frankenstein's monster, Dracula and Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray unite on screen.
Logan, who previously worked on 'Hugo' and 'Skyfall', said Ireland was the perfect place to film thanks to the country's rich cultural heritage.
"Ireland has been a truly inspirational place to film Penny Dreadful," he said. "Not only does it have deeply talented crews, but the city's unspoiled architecture perfectly captures London at the turn of the last century.
"Also the ghosts of Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde walk these streets, which is pretty inspirational for us too."
Minister Jimmy Deenihan joined 'James Bond' actor Timothy Dalton and Logan on set yesterday to show his appreciation and support of the series.
"Production activity in Ireland has increased by 42% since 2011 as a result of real growth in the number of major international TV drama productions being produced in Ireland," he said.
"'Penny Dreadful', a project worth €33 million to the Irish economy, is an excellent example of this.
"By improving the incentives for producing film and television in Ireland this Government is aiming to grow the sector even more.
'Doctor Who' actress Billie Piper, Broadway star Reeve Carney and Harry Treadaway also star in the series.

Provides: Computer/monitor elevation, desk organization
Developer: Just Mobile
Minimum Requirements: Computer or monitor, desk
Price: $69.95
Availability: Now
When it comes to monitor viewing, a couple of inches can make a big difference. My old 24″ iMac was well-placed for optimal viewing just sitting right there on my desk. But when I upgraded to the new 21.5″ widescreen iMac, I found myself looking down. The top of the screen was just low enough to make it feel like it was…too low. It wasn't necessarily uncomfortable, just weird. I could never get fully accommodated to using it.
Now, there's no shortage of ways in which you can raise a computer or monitor. Books will work just fine, after all. But if you're going to lift your monitor off your desk, why not reclaim that desk space? This is what Just Mobile offers with their Mtable.
The Mtable desktop stand will work with any monitor, but as is the case with nearly all Just Mobile products, it's obviously designed with Apple in mind. The single-piece brushed aluminum construction is a perfect match for your iMac or Cinema Display above it, and your MacBook tucked below it. It's meant to look like a part of your Apple system, not like an added on third-party accessory.
The stand is completely open in the front, allowing you to slide a MacBook or Apple Wireless Keyboard underneath (unfortunately, it's not wide enough to support the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad). The opening beneath the stand is about 1-1/2″ high, which is enough to handle most of what you'd want to slide under there. It barely couldn't take my LaCie external hard drive, but it's an older model that's a bit bigger than most hard drive options available these days. It's worth mentioning that the internal sides of the Mtable are rubber padded, so you won't scratch your MacBook when sliding it underneath. Very well done.
Each side has a 7-1/2″ opening, out of which you can run cable cables for the devices you're storing under the Mtable. An opening for cables in the back grill would seem to make sense, but Just Mobile didn't include one. With support only on the sides and in the back, the front center of the Mtable does dip about an 1/8″ under the weight of my iMac. It's barely noticable, but I do wonder how it'd hold up under a 27″ iMac.
The only other feature of the Mtable is an indentation on the front that seems like it was made specifically to hold their AluPen. Considering there's no need touch input on Mac monitors, I'm not sure I get the point. But it certainly doesn't interfere with anything, so I won't complain. A plate that allows you to spin your monitor would be a welcome addition here, but wouldn't be necessary for most users.
The only major drawback to the Mtable, then, is the price. $70 is excessive, even by Apple standards. You're going to really need the recovered desk space and really want that Apple aesthetic to pay that kind of money. But if you do pay, the Mtable will serve you well and will look great doing it.

Osteoporosis in cystic fibrosis
Gerd DöringI; Steven P. ConwayII
of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, Universitätsklinikum Tübingen,
Tübingen, Germany
IISt. James' Hospital, Leeds, UK
Adequate care in such a multisystem disease as cystic fibrosis (CF) involves many different disciplines.1 The control of chronic lung disease by early diagnosis of bacterial infection and early administration of appropriate antibiotics as well as anti-inflammatory drugs is undoubtedly of primary importance,2 since loss of lung function is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in CF. The maintenance of optimal nutrition status is also critically important,3 since low body mass indexes also contribute to lung disease. Neonatal screening of CF, now established in several countries, may further increase life expectancy in CF, since early diagnosis improves growth, weight gain and lung function, and decreases hospitalization rate.2 As a result of better care and therapy in the last decades, prognosis of CF has improved dramatically in many countries and most children now reach adult life. In the USA, median survival rose from 14 years in 1969 to 36.8 years in 2005. Similar improvements in survival have also occurred in Europe. Yet, differences in survival among patients persist, due to differences in treatment strategies, access to specialized CF centres and socioeconomic status.
As life expectancy increases in CF several new clinical problems that need to be identified and therapeutically addressed may become evident. One of these is CF-related bone disease.4,5 What are the reasons for this complication in CF? The etiology of bone loss in CF is multifactorial, including low body mass index, vitamin D and probably vitamin K insufficiency, poor Ca2+ absorption and excessive Ca2+ secretion in the gastrointestinal tract, low levels of insulin-like growth factor 1, chronic bacterial lung infection with associated chronic inflammation and heightened cytokine activity, and treatment with antibiotics and glucocorticoids.4-6 Studies in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-null mice and in patients with CF indicate a potential association between the gene defect in CF and osteoporosis.7,8 Recent work has identified the presence of CFTR in human osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts.9 Thus a high prevalence (40 to 70%) of decreased bone density (both osteopenia and osteoporosis) is present in the adult CF population, particularly among patients undergoing lung transplantation. When does bone disease start? Studies of bone health in small groups of well children with CF show normal bone mineral density (BMD) when the control group is matched for body size as well as age and gender10 but adolescents with CF can begin to reveal signs of bone disease.11
In the cross-sectional study by Caldeira et al. in this issue of Jornal de Pediatria,12 the authors conclude that there is a high prevalence of low BMD among Brazilian adolescents with CF. They investigated a group of 37 CF adolescents with a median age of 13 years, who had been diagnosed at 2 years of age. More than 50% of the patients exhibited reduced lumbar spine BMD, as determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and expressed as a z score, (the number of standard deviations that the BMD score is above or below the mean compared with individuals of that age).
The high prevalence of low BMD in the population studied is surprising, given that over 90% of the adolescents had adequate nutritional intake, (20-50% above the recommended dietary allowance), and over 70% had normal height for age and weight, and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) > 60% predicted. Only 8% of the adolescents had FEV1 < 40% predicted. This high level of reduced BMD may reflect, despite over 70% of patients showing normal height for age, that some of these adolescents have short, narrow, bones. The DEXA scan, an areal measurement, will underestimate BMD in these children. If Caldeira's results were corrected to give a bone mineral apparent density, i.e., corrected for body size, a lower prevalence of reduced BMD might be found. A low BMD measurement in a small-for-age child may only be due to small body size.
BMD correlated positively with body mass index (p = 0.04). Furthermore, calcium and phosphorous levels were lower among patients with abnormal BMD, confirming previous studies. Similarly, lung disease and pancreatic insufficiency exhibited a correlation with altered BMD although multivariate analysis indicated that these variables were not statistically significant. The lack of statistical significance may just reflect the small study population and the fact that most of the adolescents had good lung function (75% with FEV1 ³ 60%).
The main reason for concern about decreased BMD in patients with CF is that it may significantly increase the risk of fracture. Aris et al. report a 100-fold increase in adults when compared to age-matched healthy controls.4 Other case reports document fragility fractures resulting in devastating clinical consequences. Reports of fractures in patients with CF document a particular prevalence of rib and vertebral fractures. These may be associated with a rapid decline in lung function by decreasing the effectiveness of sputum clearance or by precipitating a pneumothorax. Alterations to the chest wall structure by a vertebral fracture resulting in deformity or kyphosis may cause a reduction in forced vital capacity and a less effective breathing pattern. In some transplant centers, history of a fragility fracture or presence of low BMD are seen as relative contraindications to lung transplant. We should be careful, however, in extrapolating these data to a pediatric population. Although BMD measurements are known to predict fracture risk in non-CF adults, with a doubling of risk for each standard deviation below the mean, no such fracture threshold has been identified for children. We note with interest that Caldeira et al. demonstrate more frequent fractures among adolescent patients with abnormal BMD, suggesting that these fractures may be the first sign of osteoporosis.
Caldeira et al. report fractures in 12 of 36 patients but only 33% of these were associated with a history of trauma. There is considerable variation in reported fracture rates in the literature. In our clinic we have seen very few and these have mostly been rib fractures (presumably from vigorous coughing), or those associated with a significant trauma, for example in road traffic accidents. The relatively high incidence in Caldeira's study may reflect the high associated family history of osteoporosis (25%).
Caldeira et al. refer to the potential problems of delayed puberty in their discussion. They do not expand on this. They state that there was no delayed puberty in their population possibly because of the low median age of the sample. Nonetheless mean age was 13.2 years and therefore many of the adolescents would have been expected to have entered puberty. Some CF centers now report no delay in the onset of puberty, but this is certainly not a universal finding. Even patients showing no delay in puberty may have reduced sex hormone levels compared to age-matched controls. We know that there is a negative correlation between peak bone mineral accrual and peak height velocity with age at menarche. Maximal bone mineral accrual velocity occurs across puberty, and pubertal delay may result in irreversible bone mineral deficiency. Thus clinicians caring for young adolescents with CF should monitor pubertal development and confer with pediatric endocrinology specialists about optimal management for those children showing pubertal delay.
None of the patients in Caldeira's study were using oral corticosteroid therapy and no effect on bone health was shown by use of inhaled corticosteroids. Previous studies are inconsistent in their conclusions about whether corticosteroid use has a negative effect on bone health or not. Nonetheless it is known that corticosteroids reduce osteoblast function and sex hormone secretion. They also interfere with intestinal calcium absorption. Although there is no conclusive evidence about the detrimental effects on corticosteroid use on BMD in patients with CF, these treatments should be used with caution and the risks and benefits of treatment should be carefully considered in each individual case.
Caldeira et al. state that treatment of osteoporosis is not very effective and is associated with potential significant side effects. Bisphosphonate therapy can cause gastroesophageal reflux and esophagitis, and has been associated with jaw osteonecrosis (although not yet in patients with CF). Nonetheless, in fact, with sensible prescribing and sensible precautions (i.e., taking bisphosphonates before breakfast with a glass of water, in an upright position, and remaining upright for the next half hour), adverse events are rare. In adult patients with CF and osteoporosis, bisphosphonates have been used successfully, preventing any further deterioration in, or increasing BMD. It is recommended that bisphosphonate use in children should be restricted to specialist CF centers. Treatment may be beneficial in children with a history of fragility fracture and those listed for, or post-lung transplantation.5
In conclusion, as CF patients in Brazil are living longer due to advances in lung disease management, the prevalence of bone disease is increasing and early diagnosis and prophylactic treatment of this complication is needed. Caldeira et al. have investigated bone health in 37 Brazilian adolescents with CF, providing very useful information for local CF care. They recommend that the concentration of efforts to prevent low BMD in people with CF should be directed at early adolescence. We suggest that prevention should start from diagnosis with optimal management of lung health and nutrition, encouragement of weight bearing exercise, and sensible exposure to sunlight. Little can be done later to increase bone mass. A multifaceted approach including optimal nutrition and intensive treatment of lung disease to reduce systemic inflammation is mandatory.5 As Caldeira et al. state, longitudinal studies in this context are needed to provide more insight into the disease process.

Oh the hoops the Hollywood machine is willing to jump through to avoid coming up with their own ideas. Entertainment Weekly reported earlier today that the defunct Barbarella remake may see the light of day after all. Producer Dino DeLaurentiis has decided pursue the project with a new director after Robert Rodriguez abandoned the project in lieu of filming overseas. DeLaurentiis already found a replacement for Rodriguez, Legally Blonde and 21 director Robert Luketic, but there is no word on whether Rose McGowan will still star as the titular heroine. My guess is not likely, since her relationship with Rodriguez was one of the more controversial elements of the pre-production hubbub surrounding the first attempt at making this movie.
Fans are probably now rejoicing about the possible absence of McGowan in the remake, but say what you will about her, she does posses a sort of intriguing badness that works well for campy B-movies (or A movies masquerading as B movies), even if nobody sees them. And Rodriguez probably would have brought more to this film than Luketic, whose movies range from guilty pleasure (Legally Blonde) to just plain guilty (Monster in Law). McGowan or no McGowan, I don't think this new go at Barbarella is anyone's idea of ideal, but hey, I've been surprised before.

Moorman Polaroid
The Polaroid camera, invented by Edwin Land, was sold to the public was in November 1948. Instant photography revolution was not embraced by the professionals but the polaroid opened the door of photography for many amateurs.
In December 2008, the company announced that the production of the polaroid films will be stopped by 2009. Eclipsed by digital photography, Polaroid's white-bordered prints — and the anticipation they created as their ghostly images gradually came into view — are now officially things of the past. However, from David Hockney's famous Polaroid art compositions, to the line, "Shake it like a Polaroid picture" from OutKast's hit "Hey Ya!", Polaroid instant film has embedded itself in popular culture.
Perhaps the most famous polaroid photo was taken on November 22nd 1963 by one Mary Moorman. She took the photograph of President Kennedy's limousine a fraction of a second after the fatal shot. In the frame 298 of the Zapruder film (below), Moorman and her friend Jean Hill were clearly seen standing 20 feet away from the limousine, standing on grass south of Elm Street in Dealey Plaza, directly across from the grassy knoll.
What was captured in her polaroid has been a matter of contentious debate. On the grassy knoll, as many as four different figures can be observed, while these can also be easily dismissed as trees or shadows. A figure is identified as the "badge man", a uniformed police officer. Others claim to see Gordon Arnold, a man who claimed to have filmed the assassination from that area, a man in a construction hard hat, and a hatted man behind the picket fence.
Moorman stated she heard a shot as the limousine passed her, then heard another shot or two after the president's head first exploded. She stated that she could not determine where the shots came from, and that she saw no one in the area that appeared to have possibly been the assassin. Moorman however was not called to testify to the Warren Commission.
Moorman sold her original Polaroid photograph of the assassination for US$175,000 in an eBay live auction in January, 2008.

I always thought it was one of the motorcycle cops that pulled the trigger, watch the Zapruder film and you will agree with me
There was not a single witness that saw a motorcycle cop raise a gun and fire. Read "Reclaiming History" by Vincent Bugliosi for details.
Hi Ferd, thanks for your comment. I agree with Rikster on this one though. There is a school of thought that believes the officer didn't raise his arm as one of the arms was false therefore hiding the real arm and weapon from view. There is definately a puff of smoke seen on the Zapruder film coming from the cop at the rear of JFK's vehicle.
"There is definately a puff of smoke seen on the Zapruder film coming from the cop at the rear of JFK's vehicle."
No, no there isn't.
A fake arm?? You gotta be 'effin kidding me!! You're joking, right?? Only in movies and TV does smoke come out of a gun after firing – it's called "special effects". Bullets are made using Smokeless Gunpowder which has been around for over a hundred years.
[…] Paul, Malcolm X, British politician sex, JFK, blown away, what else do I have to […]
Polaroid is making its photo paper again and there is another company making an alternative too.
Its not the original. I cant see Abraham Zapruder on the wall. Its a secction of the original picture http://www.jfkfiles.com/jfk/images/bdg_ex01.gif
Hidden in plain site for 48 years. Download the Moorman photo, zoom in, way in, draw a straight line from the President's head, straight up to the fence line, and if I am not mistaken, looks like a dude's head peering over the top of the fence line, with what appears to be something like an arm to the left of the head; gun barrel or already lowering his arm after the shot.


text: So my drivers side window does not work the motor makes a noise like its working but the window doesn't move. I took my door panel off to see what was going on and it looks like the motor was replaced because the door is all beat up and the nuts are diferent. It looks like some jackass tried to do it themselves and decided to beat the nuts off with a effin hammer (yup he's a genius). And I also found a piece (bracket of some sort) laying in the bottom of the door I know it goes on the bottom of the window. Its glued on or something...anybody know what the deal is with my window? Ill take pictures when I get home.

American billionaire Bill Gates said during an interview with a Spanish daily that Peru, as well as other middle-income countries, should receive less international aid.
In an interview with Spain's El Pais, the founder of Microsoft and well-known philanthropist said that one of the main challenges during Europe's debt crisis is that "the poor are not forgotten due to the financial difficulties."
"The money that allows them to live is less than 1 percent of our budgets," Gates said. "And the danger is that this becomes cut even more than other parts of the budget."
Gates has been in Spain this week to meet the Government head, Mariano Rajoy, for talks on global poverty, and took time to join many Spanish non-governmental organizations gathered in the Plaza Mayor to call for the government's continued financial support in aid programs.
Gates said that Spain and other developed countries should focus their aid on countries where "children die of malaria and people don't receive medicine for AIDS," rather than on middle-income countries like Peru.
"When you help these types of countries with a sufficient level of wealth you should ask yourself why, why do you help them?" Gates said. "The help should be for the poorest."
Gates added that: "We can change a lot more things in poor countries than when you help a country like Peru, with a mid-level income, which has resources to exploit and that could be as rich as a European country."
Poverty in Peru has decreased steadily over the past several years —as a result of the country's sustained economic growth— from about 50 percent of the population to just over 30 percent today, according to government figures.
The country still has large pockets of poverty in rural areas —which contrast sharply to extreme wealth in coastal cities— particularly in the southern highlands and jungle regions, as well as in the outskirts surrounding urban centers.
Peruvian economists point out that in fact the level of aid to Peru has been slowly decreasing as poverty levels have fallen.
"Money here is not the problem, but rather skills," said Eduardo Moron, an economist at Lima's Pacifico University and former deputy economy minister.
"What we don't need is cash," added Elmer Cuba, an economist at Macroconsult. He added: "What we need is help with 'know-how', human rights, democracy and gender issues."
Newspaper El Comercio said that Peru received $112 million in aid from Spain in 2010.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has funded specific immunization and education programs in Peru for many years.

If you are a South African living in the UK or Europe for that matter then you may want to take the phone off the hook as this is going to be an important announcement..
Just recently something dramatic occured which will effect just about every Springbok Supporter in the UK and the rest of Europe, something that separates the everyday supporter, from the true supporter... this my friends, was the launch of the all singing, all dancing, brand spanking new Springbok Supporters Club UK, and from what I've seen it looks to be massive.
Personally when I first came to the UK, myself and The Ballie became members of the old supporters club which to be honest, wasn't all that great which eventually fizzled out some time ago, but this is where things are now different. With full backing and for the first time ever, the Springbok Supporters Club will be run by the club members like a true members club where being a member of the New Springbok Supporters Club offers great benefits when you take a look at the membership packages, something that would be highly beneficial considering the Bok tour coming up shortly.
Check out the new Springbok Supporters Club website to:
• Find more information about SSC events in the UK
• Keep up to date with the latest Springbok news, and interviews
• It contains information about tickets for the European Springbok games
• Allows you the opportunity to have your say on the Forum
• Buy your Springbok merchandise (from 1 October) which I'm personally looking forward to.
• Get your travel money and send money back home (from November 2010)
• Buy the tastiest biltong, the widest range of South African wine and all South African foods (from 1 October)
I hope you are getting ready for Springbok games at Twickenham, Millenium Stadium etc. coming up soon!
Btw, if you need directions, ask The Ballie... 🙂

Ohio's top elections official said it appears that thousands of voters considered active are anything but.
A report has found nearly 18,500 dead people on the state's voter rolls. In Muskingum County there were 89 possibly deceased voters that appear on the list.
The Director of the Board of Elections said they'll soon receive a list of names from the State Board of Elections and then have to cross reference the names on that list with names that appear on the State Health Board list of deceased residents.
"It's possible that the names of deceased voters could have the same identity as an active voter," explained Hamill. "We have to compare the two and go from there."
Hamill said they do have a procedure they follow when a voter does pass away.
"We actually receive a list from the Ohio Department of Health and that list comes to us and then we remove them from the list."
The report issued by the state looked at voter data from March 2007 to March 2011. Secretary of State Jon Husted said it's critical for the names to be purged to keep integrity from a cost, quality and confidence standpoint.

guest post by Suzanne Schumitz, SchoolQuest Social Media Specialist
SchoolQuest.org is a free resource for military-connected students and their families.
How we got started:
Military families move four times more often than non-military families, usually over long distances or even overseas and usually far from the help and support of extended family. Military service members often have unpredictable schedules with irregular hours and may be frequently absent due to training and deployment. As a result, the students in these families face educational transitions on a recurring basis.
It was with these families in mind that the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC)R created SchoolQuest.orgTM. The MCEC's mission is to ensure quality educational experiences for all military children. SchoolQuest is uniquely designed to assist military families so they can confidently face the challenge of transition.
SchoolQuest is:
An online educational resource tool with three primary purposes:
- To help transitioning families search for appropriate schools in their new home areas.
- To assist military-connected high school students and their parents in planning for college.
- To offer research-tested MCEC support to students in transition.
How do we do this? By offering the resources described below . . .
Free Resources Available:
Find a School – Using tested and verified data from Great SchoolsTM along with MCEC-researched information specific to military students, families can search for schools by city & state, zip code, military installation or school district.
SchoolQuest Profiles – A password protected virtual "file drawer" where students and/or families can keep a record of their educational and extracurricular history for easy access when it's time to register at a new school, apply for scholarships or complete job and/or college applications.
SchoolQuest College Planners –
- Method Test Prep – We know how crucial the ACT and SAT are and that is why SchoolQuest has contracted with MTP to offer military-connected students the best opportunity to prepare.
- Scholarship Finder – Powered by Reference Service Press, students have access to a multitude of undergraduate funding options after answering a brief questionnaire which helps match them with appropriate scholarship opportunities.
- College Options Services – Stocked with a vast amount of information on various college topics.
State Education Resources – A compilation of resources for all fifty states, the Department of Defense Education Association and Washington D.C. Searches can be done by state or by topic across all states.
SchoolQuest Library – "Open" 24/7, this online library is stocked with great resources to answer questions about educational transitions, college and workplace readiness, special needs and many other subjects which are added to and updated on a regular basis.
Blog – A forum where military students and parents can share their thoughts, experiences and advice with others, entries are posted on a regular basis to keep readers informed on the latest in resources and topics related to military-connected students.
Ask Aunt Peggie – If a student or parent has a question they simply can't find the answer to by using the resources above, they can ask Aunt Peggie. A former military-connected child who attended nine schools by grade 12, Peggie is an expert researcher for the MCEC with 34 years of experience in school administration and the classroom. She and her team have answered thousands of questions over the years!
Links to all of these resources can be found on our SchoolQuest.orgTM home page and are available FREE to military-connected students care of the Military Child Education CoalitionR . . . for the sake of the child!

It's like New Pork City without the suck!
I tried to create a stage that was structurally similar to several of the landmarks from the more recent city of pig-based food products, but remove the awkwardly huge size and lack of good battlegrounds. New Pork City 2 is more connected and has less giant gaps than its predecessor, but still contains many tiers and unique arenas. Rather than try to list them all, why don't you check out the screenshots?

The Bubblestand is a stand that was built by SpongeBob. Customers could blow bubbles for 25¢. It only appears in the episode "Bubblestand" and was only visited by Patrick and Squidward.
It is a dark green wooden stand that SpongeBob built. It has 2 sticks that are attached to a wooden sign that reads in red letters, "Bubbles 25¢". There are signs under the Bubblestand that display Lessons 25¢. SpongeBob also offers lessons for beginners for only 25¢.
Role in SpongeBob SquarePants
It was created by SpongeBob, but while doing so Squidward complained about the loud noise, so he did it slowly. As Squidward starting playing clarinet, SpongeBob starting rushing on it and finished it. Then, Patrick came and tried it. He wasn't doing so well, so SpongeBob placed a sign saying "Lessons 25¢." He got a lesson by watching a demonstration from SpongeBob. Squidward was annoyed by the racket, and he came down. He made them feel ashamed and pushed them towards SpongeBob's pineapple. When they were gone, he tried it but they zoomed back.
After many tries, SpongeBob showed him his special technique. Then, Squidward mimicked the technique and blew a bubble, but it was actually amazing. He went in his house proudly, but then the bubble raised his house and popped, causing it to fall. SpongeBob and Patrick rushed into their houses before his house landed, and then the episode ended.
"Prince Paul's Bubble Party"
The location is mentioned in this song.
Associate characters
- SpongeBob (Teacher): Makes a duck and ducklings, elephant, ice cubes, caterpillar, boat, and butterfly bubbles.
- Patrick (Student): Makes nothing because he struggles. He does, however, help SpongeBob teach Squidward the bubble-making manoeuvre.

- Spin Around
- Stop
- Double Take Three Times
- Pelvic Thrust
- Stop On Your Right Foot (Don't Forget It!)

PHILADELPHIA - Michael Vick and the rest of the Falcons had hoped their season wouldn't end in Philadelphia once again. Only this time, a win won't guarantee Atlanta another game.
While the playoff-bound Eagles (9-6) are playing for first place in the NFC East today, the Falcons (7-8) already know they have no chance of reaching the postseason.
The New York Giants beat the Washington Redskins 34-28 Saturday night, eliminating Atlanta from the race for the last wild-card spot in the NFC.
The Giants (8-8) are in the playoffs for the second consecutive year - their first back-to-back appearances since 1989-90 - unless a highly improbable series of results today allows Green Bay to take the NFC's final spot.
"The main thing is to go out and win this game this week," Vick said. "If it's going to happen for us, it's going to happen. The only thing we can do is score more points than the Eagles this week."
Atlanta hasn't had much success in do-or-die games in Philly. The Eagles earned a 20-6 win at Veterans Stadium in the 2002 playoffs. Two years ago, the Eagles advanced to the Super Bowl by soundly beating the Falcons 27-10 in the conference championship game at Lincoln Financial Field.
"I just think they have outplayed us," said Vick, who led Atlanta to a 14-10 win over the Eagles in the 2005 season opener at the Georgia Dome. "Regardless of the elements, the field conditions and the temperatures, it is still football. If you don't do the things to outplay your opponents, then you're not going to win. I think our execution was the biggest thing and we didn't execute."
One month ago, it was very unlikely the Eagles would be in better position than the Falcons going into this matchup. First, Donovan McNabb went down with a season-ending knee injury in a loss to Tennessee. A week later, the Eagles were dismantled in a 45-21 loss to the Colts that left them at 5-6.
But Jeff Garcia has filled in nicely for McNabb and led a remarkable turnaround that has Philadelphia on the verge of clinching its fifth division title in six years. The Eagles have won four straight games, including three in a row on the road against division opponents.
A convincing 23-7 win at Dallas on Christmas Day put the Eagles in the playoffs after a one-year absence and legitimized their status as contenders in a conference lacking a truly dominant team.
No one is satisfied with simply making the playoffs, though. The Eagles want to win the East, earn the No. 3 seed and be home for their first-round game. If Dallas somehow loses to lowly Detroit earlier in the day, the Eagles would clinch the division no matter how they fare against the Falcons.
"We are hitting a high point just at the right time, being able to finish off strong like we have over the past four weeks with wins, putting us in the position where we can compete for a division title," Garcia said. "It's just a great transformation by this team, great dedication by the team to overcome the obstacle that was presented in front of us. Now we are in the position where we can control anything and everything within ourselves. And it's just important that we continue to maintain the focus throughout this week."
Garcia's stellar performances gets much of the attention, but the key to Philly's recent success has been a rejuvenated defense that struggled mightily earlier this season. The Eagles were solid against the Giants in a 36-22 win two weeks ago, and shut down Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo, Terrell Owens and the rest of the Cowboys on Christmas Day.
After giving up more than 200 yards rushing four times in six games, the defense held the Giants and Cowboys under 100 yards in consecutive games.
"I think our tackling has really been good," defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said. "We haven't missed a lot of tackles. For a while there, we had a lot of missed tackles, broken plays. Our tackling has been really good, especially the last two weeks."
The Falcons must face the inevitable questions surrounding coach Jim Mora's job security. Team Arthur Blank said last month a second straight 8-8 finish is unacceptable. Mora later angered Blank when he told a Seattle radio station he would pursue the University of Washington job, even if the Falcons were in the playoffs - and without the job being open.
Mora apologized for his comments, saying his intended sarcasm in the radio interview was not understood. But the damage may be irreparable unless the Falcons end up going deep in the playoffs.
"There is still an outside shot of doing something this year depending on what happens to everybody else," Mora said. "Our focus is on just taking care of our business. We have to focus on taking care of our business and that is all we can control."

The statement stopped short of a promise to decommission arms but was welcomed by Tony Blair as a demonstration of support for the restoration of a power-sharing executive next week.
Gusty Spence, the 73-year-old veteran who helped re-form the UVF in 1966, read out the declaration at Fernhill House Museum, just off the Shankill Road.
Over the course of the Troubles, the organisation - originally founded in 1912 to oppose home rule for Ireland - murdered more than 500 people.
Yesterday's announcement, issued in the name of the "Ulster Volunteer Force and Red Hand Commando Command Staff", followed what was described as a three-year internal consultation.
There was increasing "acceptance that the mainstream republican offensive has ended ... [and] that the principle of consent has been firmly established and thus, that the union remains safe. We welcome recent developments in securing stable, durable, democratic structures in Northern Ireland and accept as significant, support by the mainstream republican movement of the constitutional status quo."
From midnight last night the UVF would cease recruitment, military training and targeting. "All intelligence [would be] rendered obsolete; all active service units have been de-activated; all ordnance has been put beyond reach." The Independent International Commission on Decommissioning (IICD), which oversees the destruction of paramilitary weapons, has been "instructed accordingly".
UVF members were urged to support the police and become involved in restorative justice programmes.
The statement added: "We reaffirm the legitimacy of our tactical response to violent nationalism, yet reiterate the sincere expression of abject and true remorse to all innocent victims of the conflict." It was signed: "For God and Ulster, Captain William Johnston; Adjutant" - the name used by the UVF in all its formal statements.
Billy Hutchinson of the Progressive Unionist party, who served 16 years in prison for UVF murders, said the weapons had been placed where the "volunteers can't get at them". What was important was "decommissioning mindsets". Bombs, he said, "don't make themselves".
A Downing Street spokesman said: "As with statements from other paramilitary groups in the past we await to see it delivered in action. The generation that lived through the Troubles not just wants to stop the violence, but recognises that the only way forward is through politics and politics means respect for the rule of law."
The Northern Ireland secretary, Peter Hain, said: "There is a genuine desire by loyalist leaders, who represent the community the UVF come from, to completely transform the situation and close the door on their brutal and bloody past." He called on the larger Ulster Defence Association to begin decommissioning.
A spokesman for the IICD said: "We welcome [the statement] and are encouraged by the proposal to end their involvement in paramilitarism and reject criminal activity." But he added: "Without the commission's involvement their action on arms does not meet the requirement of the decommissioning legislation."
The Sinn Féin assembly member John O'Dowd said: "This is a welcome statement if it signals a recognition of the new political reality where there is no room for armed or violent actions. It will be judged by what the UVF do next."
For the Social Democratic and Labour party, the Mid-Ulster assembly member Patsy McGlone said: "Everyone will want to take a positive view of the UVF's move to stop being a terrorist organisation, but there are immediate questions that need answering about its recent activities. Targeting and intelligence gathering were going on just a few days ago. Personal details on 117 innocent people made their way from police files into the hands of the UVF, and in the view of the police, they are in real and immediate danger."
The Democratic Unionist MP Peter Robinson welcomed the UVF statement: "While the putting of arms beyond reach is an important first step it is also vital that this can soon be confirmed to have been done in accordance with the schemes established by the IICD."
Focus on Stormont
Yesterday's statement by the Ulster Volunteer Force was timed to coincide with the run-up to the restoration of a power-sharing, devolved government in Northern Ireland. The declaration that the UVF's war is effectively over will make it easier for the Progressive Unionist party, its political wing, to participate in politics at Stormont where it has one assembly member, Dawn Purvis, who replaced David Ervine after his death last year.
Next Tuesday, May 8, power in Northern Ireland will be handed over from direct rule to Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness, the first and deputy first ministers in the new administration. The Democratic Unionist party leader and the chief negotiator for Sinn Féin will inaugurate a new era in cross-community cooperation. They have, so far, worked surprisingly well together.

The four remaining Republican presidential candidates battled it out for a smattering of delegates from around the world today, as GOP primary contests were held in Washington, D.C., Wyoming, and Guam.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio eked out a narrow victory in Washington, D.C., securing 37.3 percent of the vote and nine delegates, according to The New York Times. Ohio Gov. John Kasich came in a close second, earning 35.5 percent of the vote and the remaining nine delegates.
It's no secret that registered Republican residents of the nation's capital are few and far between, illustrated by the fact that today's primary was anchored at a single polling place "a few blocks from the White House in the Loews Madison Hotel," according to Politico. The District of Columbia has 19 delegates to divvy up, and while the polls were scheduled to be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., voters unable to make it to the polling place for religious reasons — Saturday is the Sabbath, or day of rest, for observant Jewish people — were allowed to vote until 9 p.m.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz handily won Wyoming's Republican caucus, with the antigay conservative stalwart taking more than 66.3 percent of the vote in the Equality State, according to The New York Times. The newspaper reports that Cruz will pick up nine delegates from the state. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio came in second, with just 19.5 percent of the vote, securing one delegate, with 100 percent of precincts reporting. Republican front-runner Donald Trump took 7.2 percent of the vote, netting him one delegate, according to the Associated Press.
Today's caucus was the first of two nominating contests in Wyoming, "which will decide 12 of the state's 26 at-stake delegates," CNN reports. The 12 delegates awarded in today's county conventions are bound to the candidate elected, but the remaining 14 delegates, which will be awarded in a separate primary on April 16, are "unbound, meaning they can vote for their candidate of choice this summer," according to CNN.
Meanwhile, nearly 8,000 miles to the West, in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean, Republican voters in the U.S. island territory of Guam also held a primary caucus. CNN notes that Guam is "home to a large and growing military base, [and] will send six delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this summer." But the results of today's caucus aren't binding, which means the delegates Guam sends to the RNC can still change their votes when they get to Cleveland.
Guam appointed six delegates in its caucus Saturday, with one — Guam Gov. Eddie Calvo — committed to Cruz, according to CNN. The other five delegates elected today will remain uncommitted, as will the party chairman and two RNC representatives, who are guaranteed to attend the convention in Cleveland in July.
The caucus process in Guam is a bit nontraditional, reports CNN:
"Guam does not hold a traditional primary or caucus, in which candidates win delegates based on a presidential preference vote. Instead, delegates are elected directly at a party convention, and those elected delegates are free to support whomever they choose. Both the Republican and Democratic parties allow Guam and the other U.S. territories to participate in the presidential nomination process, although territories may not vote in the general election."
This story is developing. Check back for details.

I saw smoking gun, cabbie tells court in Dale Cregan murder trial
A TAXI driver feared he would be shot by a masked gunman making his getaway after killing a man in a pub, a court heard yesterday.
I was worried he was going to pull the trigger on me
Dale Cregan, who this week admitted murdering two women police officers, is accused of gunning down Mark Short in the Cotton Tree pub in Droylsden, Manchester, last May.
Cabbie Viqar Qureshi said: "I saw smoke and sparks come from the nozzle.
"I saw a black handgun. He was clearly letting off shots as he stood there." Mr Qureshi said the gunman came out of the pub and got into the passenger side of a Ford Focus.
"It was all over in a couple of seconds. The gunman made eye contact with me. I was worried he was going to pull the trigger on me."
Cregan, 29, denies murdering Mark Short, 23, and his father David, 46, the head of the Short clan, who were embroiled in a feud with another local family, the Atkinsons.
The one-eyed roofer is said to have pulled up in the Focus outside the pub with Luke Livesey, 27, and Damian Gorman, 38, before a balaclava-clad gunman entered the pub.
Cregan has admitted the killings of Pcs Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona Bone, 32, last September.
Nine co-accused deny a string of charges, including murder, attempted murder, possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and assisting an offender.
The trial continues at Preston Crown Court.

Ralph Lauren has been taking major heat for for the freakish Photoshopping of size 4 model Filippa Hamilton, and reportedly then firing her for being too fat.
The company apologized for the ridiculous retouching, but on the catwalk, the designer very publicly displays his penchant for skin-and-bone bodies. To be sure, Ralph Lauren is not the only designer with a preference for super-skinny models, but change must start one runway at a time.
Here are some of the most shocking examples.

De Vries strong in first Fenway Park start
De Vries strong in first Fenway Park start
De Vries, making his 10th career start and his first at Fenway Park, gave up just two runs on four hits and two walks over seven innings. He also finished his outing strong, retiring 17 of the last 20 batters he faced.
"I was definitely amped up going out there just because of the history," De Vries said. "It's the oldest ballpark in the country and you're pitching against the Boston Red Sox. So the first inning I started settling down, and by the second inning, I felt back to normal. So, the emotions were high."
De Vries has been a pleasant surprise with a 3.81 ERA this season, including a 3.63 ERA as a starter. The next two months will be important for him, as he knows it's his chance to audition for a spot in the rotation next season.
"They tell us coming up in the Minor Leagues that every outing you're not only auditioning for your own big league roster, but for everyone else," De Vries said. "So that's kind of how I take it. I would love to be a Minnesota Twin for the rest of my career, but it's also an audition for every other team.
"You never know when trades are going to happen or anything. So I would like to be here and be a part of the team next year and for the years to come, but you also have to look out for yourself."

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- With temperatures soaring toward the 90-degree mark Tuesday and high humidity, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an Air Quality Alert for much of the region, including all of Westchester County.
The alert was issued at 10 a.m. and lasts until 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than an air quality index value of 100, the NYSDEC said. The higher the AQI value, the greater the health concern.
The NYSDEC recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects, especially the very young, and those with pre-existing respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal physician, the NYSDEC said.
Conditions are also favorable for strong thunderstorms to strike Tuesday afternoon and evening, according to the National Weather Service. For more, click here .

I have a follow up question regarding dongchimi. Is there a way to produce as much dongchimi broth as possible without being too wasteful of the radishes?
I ask because I am addicted to that broth, which Maangchi says is like pop soda! I love it. If there is a way to produce it in large volumes I would love to know about it.

" Bathroom Accessories "
Reader, meet Antonio C.
*The Product*
This is a slightly mind bending product from Alessi. It is a sturdy plastic figure of a male head and shoulders with arms and hands. The 'man' (Antonio) kindly holds your toilet roll and promises not to look whilst you are sat on the loo. The 'C', may then stand for considerate.
Alessi are an italian design company (from c.1922) that make cuter versions of normal kitchen (and now bathroom) utensils and things you would not otherwise notice. The majority of their products are made from stainless steel or sturdy brightly coloured plastic. They try to merge the high end design with quirky visual ideas (for me they make the William Morris adage that everything should be "either useful or beautiful" real, but go one further as their products tend to be both- functional and adorable). I have around 12 Alessi products and I have been impressed with the quality and finish of them all. Unlike Kosoil the German rival, once you get the products home you do not feel slightly let down.
*The Price*
If you decide to buy one, this toilet roll holder will set you back between £24.95 and £30. Possibly more as some boutiques and the more 'high end' designer focused online retailers will try to sell anything with an Alessi tag for prices so high you wonder if the boxes will contain a golden egg. I have seen Alessi Kettles go on ebay for £220. In this respect they are sought after and have developed a cult appeal in the last 20 years. Even on ebay it is rare to see anything as an auction listing going for any cheaper than the buy it now Alessi counterpart products. I am confident this will hold its price well.
Just as well, as if you would have told me even 12 months ago I would spend £27 on a toilet roll holder I would have tried to have you sectioned for insane thoughts and delusions.
*What do you get?*
Inside the box you get:
the head and shoulders
the piece that goes through the toilet roll (shaped like an egg timer)
two screws
a diagram that you can hold up against the wall and drill through so the dimensions are perfect (a VERY neat feature).
All you will need to own or buy already are two wall plugs. So you drill two holes (could br tricky if you have tiled walls? but the drilling is the hardest part), fit the wall plugs and put the screws in then you simply hook Antonio onto the screws.
Once Antonio is fitted, you discover another great feature (a really really imressive design feature) that the inside of Antonio's "hands" are MAGNETIC. Yes, readers: MAGNETIC. So, to change the toilet roll-- all you have to do is pull the toilet roll out of Antonio's hands by holding the empty roll and sliding it as if you were opening a drawer. Just pull. No more squeezing and aligning ! No more excuses for housemates who never change the loo roll!
To fit a new toilet roll you put the white roll insert inside the toilet roll then ush it inbetween Antonio's hands. The roll insert will be grabbed by the magnets and pulled into place.
*Worth the price?*
Simply because Alessi have gone the extra mile with the diagram that doubles as a scale drilling guide and the magnets inside Antonio's hands yes it is.
I have only seen this product on sale in yellow (Yellow Submarine Yellow), Blue (a sort of playdoh blue)- so the standard "bathroom colours". This co-ordinates perfectly with the other Alessi bathroom items such as the Merdolino Toilet Brush or Otto the Toothpaste Man (I kid you not). As it is fun and quirky, it will bring a smile to the faces of your guests and may lift your spirits if you are talking to God on the "Big white phone" (ie have your head down the loo).
This is really down to personal opinion- for me, I find the cartoon look of the product and the bright colour an advantage.
It is easy to change the rolls, looks great (again, my opinion), easy to fit after you have drilled the holes and put the wall plugs in, and easy to clean (wipe clean). I cannot see this would fade in a bright bathroom as the colour is not sprayed on or painted- it is sturdy plastic. And there are no sharp edges.
Thinking long and hard about this, I can imagine if you have young children, they will find it easy to pull the roll out of Antonio's hands and if they are feeling mischievous you may have a re-run of the Andrex advert in your bathroom where the toilet roll is flung around.
But, not all children would try this, and not all people with children even have toilet roll holders, never mind child proof ones. If this happens, the roll insert is on one piece and is large enough not to be classed as a 'small part', so it would just be the toilet roll going in the bath or being rolled down the hall you would have to worry about. (though you wouldnt leave a child in a bathroom unattended with water in the bath...). So, I'm getting into the hypothetical scenarios just to find a disadvantage.
As you can tell, I am clutching at straws trying to find a disadvantage. The price is an obvious disadvantage for some people- it is not essential to spend £25-30 on a toilet roll holder, but you do get what you pay for. I would normally have gone to Ikea and spent about £5 on a toilet roll holder if I had not seen this. But I'm glad I did pay the extra. When we trawled through ebay for toilet roll holders one bored slightly tipsy night the only other thing that made me look twice was a £900 Versace gold toilet roll holder.
And even now, I would rather talk to Antonio than Donatella, knowing I have saved £873.
The Alessi Company has their own website: the UK link is:
Verdict: Its a slightly odd purchase that has opened my eyes to the couture range and market of functional house products.
