Organic Food Going Down Well In Dorset
8:31am 14th March 2014
More people are buying and eating organic produce in the Dorset area, according to the latest research.
The Soil Association say close to 1 in 5 in the South West said they'd bought organic foods the past week, with fruit and veg topping the shopping list.
They say 2.8% more people in the region are stocking up on the natural goods than last year.
But Adam Simon, who runs the organic Tamarisk Farm in West Bexington, says although the figures are good news things are only just starting to pick up;
"People stopped or slowed down their buying of organic products when everything crashed in 2008, but things are starting to pick up again since then. People thought food was something they could economise on which I think was a mistake because the amounts on the economy were probably very small and they just went back to eating rubbish food."
"Now, we get a great deal of interest and a lot of people are realising that organic food and particularly buying food locally have a tremendous amount of benefit for themselves, their families for the environment."
Sara Cross from Gold Hill Organic Farm shop in Child Okeford told us she's pleasantly surprised by the news and has her own idea why organic is best;
"We think it's everything really, the environment, the waste, we cut down mileage and don't use much plastic on the farm. We try to make it community based so it's a true thing "local food for local people". I think its popularity is down to a wide range of things."

A/N: Yes, there will be a sequel! This is just the preview of "Karin's Date", and it will be up once I finish typing it. Hope you would like the sequel as much as you enjoyed the first!
Character death early on, be warned.
Hitsugaya felt the terror before he heard the scream. He restrained himself: he must not acknowledge it. The five arrancar Aizen had brought with him this time were far stronger than he had expected, and he must not be distracted...Except that it was the Kurosaki family in danger.
Hitsugaya took a moment to marvel at his dwindling vocabulary, before he flash-stepped to the southwestern sector.
Too late, far too late. The Kurosaki house and clinic were demolished into rubble. He saw it from his vantage point. With a sudden lurch of fear and terror Hitsugaya dashed the last few hundred meters. As he neared the site he was thrown off his feet by a blast of reiatsu. It was familiar, oddly so, and he braced himself to face...
"Dad?" whispered Ichigo who had materialized beside him. The teenager had been much further away than Hitsugaya, at the North pillar. "Dad? Karin? Yuzu?"
There was no response. Hitsugaya had the presence of mind to rein in Ichigo's sudden rush forward into the rubble. The boy looked ready to haul the slabs apart with his bare hands. Kuchiki Rukia and Abarai landed nearby and the tall redhead was hauling Ichigo back from the collapsed building.
"No, no no no... let GO! Dad! Daddy, Karin, Karin, YUZU!!" Ichigo was shrieking. He was almost mad with grief, tears falling freely.
Who could blame him? Despite his prowess Ichigo was only a sixteen-year-old teenager. Hitsugaya steeled himself, his reiatsu scanning the area.
The arrancar responsible for the collapse emerged from nowhere and its claws scratched past Hitsugaya's right arm. The captain snarled and slashed, only to be blocked. It grinned toothily, its thin half-mask like a slipped choker about its neck.
Before he attacked again Hitsugaya shouted, "Keep him back!"
Abarai and Rukia understood immediately. Rukia put a binding spell on Ichigo before the teen could go bankai and unleash far too much reiatsu to assist. Hitsugaya knew Abarai would keep Ichigo down long enough for him to finish the job. He intended to do so fast.
"Gekido, Yuutsubame."
Hitsugaya almost tripped over his feet. It can't be.
The rush of water from behind Hitsugaya soaked the arrancar completely. Releasing his sword, Hitsugaya froze it and it splintered into glittering shards. Then he inhaled deeply before turning around.
Kurosaki Karin was there, breathing heavily, her body slumped against the wall where Yuzu was cradling it. Both girls were bleeding from various cuts. But they were alive.
They are alive.
Abarai released Ichigo, who sprinted to his sisters and hugged them both tightly. Yuzu wrapped her arms about Ichigo's neck, and Karin pushed herself out of it to stare at the fallen house.
"Wait a minute," Ichigo said suddenly, his face still blotchy with tears. "Yuzu, you can see me?"
"Yes. And Rukia-chan, and Hitsugaya-kun, and Abarai-san. And I suppose you're... you're the same as them, right?"
"No time for explanations," Hitsugaya interrupted coldly. "Kuchiki, Abarai, take Yuzu and Karin to Urahara's for treatment. Then when you're ready, all three of you should rejoin the battle. There are still four more arrancar out there with Aizen."
"Yes taichou!" Rukia caught Yuzu's hand with her own, while Abarai hoisted Karin's body and Karin's spiritual form over his shoulders. Karin didn't even struggle, which was something far too odd in itself. Ichigo followed at a brisk pace, assuring himself that his sisters were fine.
When he judged them to be far away enough, Hitsugaya coughed. "You should come out now."
"Yeah, I really should," said Kurosaki Isshin, his shinigami uniform fluttering. The ragged remains of his captain's coat was still tied over his shoulder. "Hitsugaya-taichou, thank you for your assistance."
"Kurosawa Shino," greeted Hitsugaya warily. "or should I address you as Kurosaki Isshin?"
"Isshin-san will do. I've been using that name for too long." The bearded shinigami rubbed his nose. "What do you reckon I should tell them?"
"How about the truth?" Hitsugaya was almost angry – not on his own behalf. "But you better do it soon before they accept that you're dead and gone. Else it'll be a double shock."
Isshin sighed. "I am dead, as far as my body is concerned. At least I died young and handsome."
"I have to return to my duties." Hitsugaya returned Hourinmaru to its customary position behind himself. He strode away as fast as he could, trying to find out why he hadn't just told Karin the truth immediately. He would tell her, eventually, that he had known before they did.
But he knew he would never tell her that the moment he saw her alive was one of the happiest in his long existence.

David Lerner Associates: Women Need to be More Hands-On Financially
Core Facts
It's important for everyone to keep tabs on their finances, but it seems that women lag behind men when it comes to taking control and planning for a secure financial future. Women face unique challenges that add up to different financial needs. Prudential's 2014-2015 Research Study, "Financial Experience & Behaviors Among Women," shows that although more women are taking control of household finances, they're no more prepared to meet long-term financial goals than they were a decade ago.
The study also revealed that 75 percent of women believe having enough money to retire comfortably is very important, but only 14 percent are very confident they will be able to do so. Odds are that at some point in a woman's life, she will be solely responsible for her finances, whether due to being single, divorced, or widowed. Rather than have to cope when that occurs, get started right away.
Take an active role in planning your financial future. Set goals and, work out a plan. If you are married, talk to your spouse, and get involved with the financial planning. Start with the basics. Write down all expenses and income so that you know exactly where the money goes, and how much is available to put away for the future.
Improve financial literacy. Several studies have highlighted the fact that women are not as savvy about finances as men. It pays to learn as much as possible about financial planning and investment. Find a source you relate to, and read it regularly.
Prepare for the future. Take a realistic look at what you will need for retirement. Even if it's still decades away, it is possible to work out what you might require. Use a retirement calculator to help you with this. Then work with an advisor to put a vehicle in place that will help you reach that goal – either a 401k at work or an IRA.
Protect your income and your assets with insurance. No one can predict the future, and while we hope nothing bad will ever happen, it's wise to expect the best, and plan for the worst. Should a serious illness or accident occur, insurance can replace the lost income or pay for long-term care.
Monitor Social Security. Find out how much you can expect from Social Security and how the age of retirement affects that number. Women tend to live longer than men, so it's wise to plan your retirement to make the most of Social Security.

Obama Trip to NYC on Same Night as Tree Lighting Helps Spread Holiday Cheer in Big Apple
**Written by Doug Powers
Wednesday night was the lighting of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. President Obama's people either forgot to check the City's schedule or didn't care, because they booked three fundraisers there for the same night.
Fortunately, it's the holiday season, and the good cheer that was resonating around the Big Apple resulted in everybody taking the extra traffic snarls in stride:
"This really sucks, it's aggravating," griped Rob Bam, 49, who got jammed while trying to cross from Fifth to Sixth Avenue. "Keep the President out of the city."
Obama's ill-timed trip turned Midtown into a parking lot for hours, and ticked off New Yorkers simply looking to get around as the President glad-handed fat cats from the Upper East Side to the East Village to the Sheraton New York.
"Every time Obama comes to New York, it's a nightmare," said Tom Hall, 52, who was trying to get home to the Upper West Side from Midtown. "It probably wasn't a good idea to have both of these events the same night."
Obama touched down at JFK at 5:14 p.m., zooming into Manhattan for a three-stop fund-raising blitz that wreaked havoc on Midtown streets and bus routes while aggravating commuters.
"I'm totally screwed getting home," fumed Celeste Gold, 30, a who was struggling to walk home to Hells Kitchen. "I'll be directed the whole way by police."
At Gotham Bar and Grill on East 12th St., fans of the President paid more than $35,000 for an exclusive sitdown. On the Upper East Side, the price was $10,000 a head.
I'd be more inclined to feel the pain of the frustrated area residents if they hadn't overwhelmingly supported Obama in 2008 (where there was 80% support there will be return visits for coffer re-loading, tree lightings be damned). That said, maybe next time New Yorkers should request another low-level Air Force One fly-by instead and still promise to deliver the same $2.4 million campaign haul. It would save a good amount of ground traffic.
Lest we think the Occupiers were lost in the mass of humanity Wednesday night, at one Obama fundraiser, the crowds weren't enough to keep away some dedicated protesters:
The OWS bunch were there to show Obama that they're mad as hell and not going to take it anymore:
Organizer Ben Campbell says he'll likely vote for Obama next year, but the movement has to call out Republicans and Democrats to be credible.
Voting for Obama again… that'll teach him to fraternize with Wall Street!

Toyota Racing won't make it to the WEC Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps due to a testing accident. When the TS030 Hybrid was being tested on April 4 at Paul Ricard, the TS030 Hybrid got into an accident that had irreparably damaged the only monocoque of the team. It won't be able to produce a replacement monocoque that has been tested sufficiently to guarantee reliability within the limited time available.
Hence, Toyota Racing has told organizers of the FIA World Endurance Championship about its choice to withdraw from the WEC Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, which will take place on May 5. The team is set to make its first appearance this June at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
According to Yoshiaki Kinoshita, Toyota Racing Team President, the company is "deeply saddened" about this decision and he offered sympathies to the drivers, team members and fans who have been excited about the Spa race.
He said that they have considered all the options available to them but there is no alternative course of action open to it for now. He said that TOYOTA Racing will be prioritizing the creation of a new monocoque so that testing can resume immediately and so that it can prepare for the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Directed by Joe Chappelle
Screenplay by Dean R. Koontz and based on his novel
There's something that I always wondered about movies like Phantoms. Why is it that even though there is always someone of high intelligence in the film to explain the monstrosity that is being dealt with, but nine times out of ten it's the average Joe in the film that figures out how to kill the thing.
The 'someone of high intelligence in Phantoms is none other than Timothy Flyte who is portrayed by none other than Peter O'Toole who only appears comfortable in Phantoms due to his unwavering professionalism. The monster is the Ancient Enemy; which as near as I can tell is incredibly large but can take on any appearance it chooses from a golden retriever to a huge pissed off moth that sucks the brains out of a hapless sheriff's deputy. Lest I forget, the Ancient Enemy can mimic a human scream and can make the monster equivalent of obscene phone calls.
The average Joe is Sheriff Bryce Hammond as portrayed by Ben Affleck. There's a priceless throwaway line in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back where Affleck, as Holden McNeil, declares to Jay and Silent Bob that although he wasn't impressed with Good Will Hunting he thought that "Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms." The reasons that I find myself watching bad movies are strange ones, indeed.
There is truth to that quote, however. Affleck really is the bomb in Phantoms. He's one of the two characters, along with Liev Schrieber (who plays the creep card so well in this one but then again when has he not), who looks like they're having any fun. He's also the only character other than Joanna Going as the town doctor that keeps a clear head amidst the chaos.
Phantoms the movie is based on Phantoms the book by Dean Koontz. I read the book years ago and loved it. Koontz does duty here as screenwriter and as far as I can remember he's remained faithful to his source material. Phantoms is not a good movie in any sense of the word. Too many seemingly intelligent people do too many stupid things. When is everyone going to learn that when you hear strange noises coming out of a sink that you don't stick your face down close to it? Plus, if a town is deserted and you hear a scream do not investigate under any circumstances.
As bad a movie as Phantoms is I will admit to having had fun watching it. There are bad movies that are awful and there are, as the late Harry Chapin said, 'good bad movies'. Phantoms is in the latter category of bad movies.

Here is the issue: What I learned from the camera makers and how it affects us computer users.
First the camera makers were fighting over who had the best camcorder with "Raw". Then when sales cut into the photo systems offered by Nikon and Canon; the camera makers took out Raw and left us with "jpeg". This effectively forced folks to upgrade to the higher priced camera systems. That is if they wanted to use the latest technology they used to get in there camcorders.
Now is Apple doing the same for it's line? By effectively cutting out the lower end prices for photographers - pro and otherwise, the company forces you to pay for the mac pro.
It worked for the camera makers, why not Apple! I still have my Pro 1 from Canon, as I will not pay for the high end camera system I don't want or need. Well, lets hope Apple gets the message. I suggest everyone email Apple and let them know how we photographers feel about being forced into paying more so the company can bleed the consumer for more money.
What artist's like me found out, is it was cheaper for us to just upgrade every five years then buy a Mac pro everytime. As technology changes so much; after upgrading your Mac pro; it was obsolete in a year or two after you upgraded anyway, as the leap in technology left you far behind. Thats why I bought the imac "last version" instead of the Mac Pro.
Let Apple hear from the us at dpreview and others loud and clear on this issue. JonL
Here is the post on dpreview:

Desert Trails Preparatory Academy Shows Impressive Gains for Students in First Year, Works Towards Closing The Achievement Gap.
Just weeks after demonstrating impressive gains in science, Desert Trails Preparatory Academy released new data showing strong gains in student reading comprehension growth. Desert Trails is the first ever school transformed using the Parent Trigger law, and since being transformed in 2013 has produced a learning environment in which students are learning more than they ever have before.
The parents, teachers and administration at the school are closing the achievement gap by producing more than one year of academic growth for students each school year. This means students at Desert Trails are not only learning a year's worth of material, but that they are catching up to their more affluent peers. Though the average student is not yet on grade level, they are growing at a rate that is higher than average such that are making strides towards closing the achievement gap.
In the absence of any student testing in English or math in California this year, Desert Trails used the well-regarded and widely used Gates MacGinite Reading Tests to assess progress for students in their reading skills.
In addition to important gains in reading, students at Desert Trails scored higher on their science CSTs than anytime in the past ten years. In a year, students scoring in the advanced and proficient category jumped from 12% to 47%.
Ben Austin, Executive Director of Parent Revolution issued the following statement in response the release of this exciting data:
"All parents want their children to attend high quality schools. All parents want their children to learn. The fact that Desert Trails has produced such significant growth for kids in such a short amount of time is extraordinary. School turnarounds take time of course, but all signs point to increased student engagement and parent satisfaction. Though the campaign at Desert Trails was hard fought, the struggle is worth it. Students come first at Desert Trails and thanks to the work of parents, teachers, administrators and students – it's working."

If any material that belongs to the reader should be changed or removed in any way please leave a note at the contact link provided below and the problem will be taken care of as quickly as possible. Generally speaking, the images used on this educational, informational, and political-opinion 1st Amendment website are deemed by the webmaster to either be free, in the public domain, or constitute a legally acceptable fair use per the Fair Use doctrine. If any copyright owner should happen to disagree, please email an ACCURATE AND COMPLETE explanation of any and all SPECIFIC reasons for the objection/s to the webmaster PRIOR to taking other action. Thanks!
UNAUTHORIZED PRACTICE OF LAW DISCLAIMER: The information on this page is public information, and may be freely copied and altered for the reader's specific use/s, PROVIDED ANY AND ALL REFERENCE/S TO THIS WEBSITE OR ITS WEBMASTER IS DELETED. Under ABSOLUTELY NO circumstances is this page to be construed as the webmaster directly or indirectly giving unauthorized legal advice. This page is to be construed exclusively as the webmaster's personal explanation of his layman's understanding and opinion of the relevant law regarding the so-called "Fair Use" doctrine. The Fair Use doctrine is codified at 17 US §107, which, at the http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.pdf#Section106 webpage of the U.S. Copyright Office, is found to say:
"§107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use40
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include —
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."
REGARDING BURDEN OF PROOF: The webmaster has had occasion to do extensive research on the subject of copyright law. It is his personal experience with some of the music copyright associations that they are not above deliberately misrepresenting the law. (That TRUE story, complete with case cites, and a music association's chief counsel's written agreement with my position, will be added to the web site and linked to this page later when the webmaster finds more time.)
Basically, the bottom line of copyright law is whether or not you are making money off of somebody else's work, and/or whether or not your use has a negative effect on the copyright owner's ability to make money off of his own work. If you are in NO way making money off of the copyright owner's work, and you are in NO way negatively affecting the copyright owner's ability to profit from his own work, in my opinion, your use is in all likelihood morally valid.
It has been said by various wannabe-clever music association bluffers that the "not for profit" argument doesn't matter. That is so incomplete and misleading as to amount to a lie, as manifested by the fact they backed down when I offered to go into federal court with them in a "friendly" 28 USC §2201 declaratory judgment action with all the facts already stipulated to for the court's convenience in determining the meaning and intent of the relevant law as applied to the facts of my situation. Although it is true that a copyright owner does not have to allege profit on the part of the alleged infringer for his court complaint to pass threshhold jurisdictional muster, the "not for profit" argument can be raised as an affirmative defense by the alleged infringer, which DOES make it legally relevant, because once that affirmative defense has been raised, the burden of proof falls back onto the copyright owner to prove that the affirmative defense raised is inadequate or untrue.
It is believed that all of the images used on johnwilkenson.com — other than those which are believed to be free or in the public domain — are subject to the Fair Use doctine because:

Skip to comments.Disputed sexiest woman alive, Mila Kunis, says Republicans are offensive (Leftist skank alert)
Posted on 10/10/2012 8:18:24 PM PDT by markomalley
The fancy mans necktie manual Esquire magazine this week named actress Mila Kunis the sexiest woman alive. But in her interview with the magazine, Kunis had some decidedly non-sexy things to say about the Republican party.
The way that Republicans attack women is so offensive to me, Kunis said. And the way they talk about religion is offensive. I may not be a practicing Jew, but why we gotta talk about Jesus all the time? And its baffling to me how a poor person in Georgia can say, Im a Republican. Why?
Apparently, Kunis (who immigrated to the U.S. from Ukraine when she was eight years old) doesnt think poor people are allowed to be anything but Democrats.
The noted political scholars words back up what she said last year about the president and partisan Republicans.
I love Barack Obama, Kunis said at the time. I voted for him, and I will forever be proud of my vote, so I cant say anything bad against him. I know because you keep reading these reports of him trying to compromise with the Tea Party and the Republican Party and trying to come up with a 50-50 agreement. I dont think it was one. I feel the Democratic Party compromised everything and the Republican Party compromised pretty much nothing.
If you care to take a gander at 10 women hotter than Mila Kunis, you may want to click here.
Isn't she dating the former Mrs. Demi Moore?
She looked pretty hot in The Black Swan when she was "performing" on Natalie Portman.
She's just a child...she'll get it eventually.
Won't be invited to Marine Corps Ball again.
I think Miss Kunis took in a little too much radiation at Chernobyl....
All hottie, no brain
1) Macaulay Culkin
2) Ashton Kutcher
Why does anybody pay attention to her. Best thing is /ignore.
She could always move back to the Ukraine.
who gives a Damm about her? I'm gonna vote for BHusseinO to see Madonna strip naked!
(She's promised us she will...)
Ain't democracy great!?
Only in America!
It's not a skunk, it's a red herring.
Not a "practicing Jew"? She is not a Jew at all. She is a JINO. She uses her Jewish heritage constantly as a talking point, yet has never been caught dead in a synagogue, not even on Yom Kippur. Disgusting bitch. How dare she bring Jews into her despicable, hateful comments. Religious Jews like myself love our Christian brothers and sisters.
Well, bless her pointy little head. Ummm, Mila... If you WERE a practicing Jew, you wouldn't really be talking about Jesus at all. But I suppose she'll fit right in with Ashton playing Kabbala.
Look, the girl is hooked up with cheatin' horn-dog Kutchner and she actually bought/believed he wasn't really married to Demi Moore, it was only a symbolic ceremony or some such.
Before Kutchner it was Culkin. The girls has issues or she isn't to bright. Young and full of herself, I think.
I'm pretty sure that Laz would hit it.
She's not very pretty at all. I'd hazard a guess that I see at least one prettier lady just walking around most days.
*sigh* I'm not too bright, either.
This has nothing to do with this post but when I saw you post that you were a religious Jew who had a love for Christians, I had a very emotional reaction. I've never seen or heard a Jew express that emotion. For years now you can hear many different ministries and Christians talk about their love of Israel and the Jewish people but I have to tell you it feels good to hear a Jew say they have affection for Christians. I pray our mutual respect and love grows into a fortress of strength to stand against the persecutions that are here and I'm afraid are going to get worse. Thank you and back at ya

Desks Bad For Workers' Health
January 16, 2012 by staff
Desks Bad For Workers' Health, Office workers spend an average of five hours 41 minutes sitting at their desk every day – almost as much time as their nightly sleep, according to a new study.
Research among 1,000 employees found that those who sit for longer at work were likely to spend most time sitting down when they got home.
Occupational psychologists Dr Myanna Duncan, Aadil Kazi and Professor Cheryl Haslam from Loughborough University, who conducted the study, said prolonged sitting at a desk was potentially bad for a worker's mental wellbeing as well as their physical health.
Dr Duncan said: "People don't need a psychologist to tell them to get up and walk around. But if it helps, I'd tell them to put a post-it note on their computer to remind them.
"Anyway go and talk to your colleagues face to face, it's a lot more sociable and better for you than emailing them."
The research is due to be presented to the British Psychological Society's annual occupational psychology conference in Chester.

Dundee clinched the Scottish Championship title with a 2-1 victory over Dumbarton - but they were pushed all the way thanks to Hamilton's 10-2 triumph over Morton.
A draw would not have been good enough for Dundee because Hamilton secured the eight-goal victory they needed to jump ahead on goals scored should Paul Hartley's side slip up.
But Dundee, who triumphed thanks to first-half goals from Christian Nade and Peter MacDonald, held on in a nervy end to the campaign in front of 10,718 fans at Dens Park.

My huysband had an abcessed tooth and we needed immediate dental care who spoke English. Everywhere was closed in August and we found Dr Moll seeing emergency patients only. What a relief! We met with Dr. Moll and she was totally professional and alieved my husbands fears and took care of the procedure promptly. Now on our way to a full recovery :-) .
2 rootcanals, 2 inlays and fillings The treatment was very good as far as I am able to judge this, not being a professional in this field. The costs are unavoidable and were to be expected.The advice received was sensible. The real bonus was that Dr Moll spoke fluent English and Dutch which was why I chose her and decided to return for further treatment.

Unanswered: FM from ground to web
I need a lot of information and as fast as I can get it.... isn't that always the way? I am mostly familiar with ms-sql and asp for hosting my info on the web...
For those of you who are familiar with MSSQL as well as FM Pro 6 ... is there one that is better than the other for a purely Web based system, and if so why? (We are using W2003, IIS, and .NET server wise) We also have some oracle db's that will need to be accessed somehow as well if that makes a difference.
Here's the question(s): I recently joined a department of our organization that is requesting FM for our web DB; so I need to know how FM works from the ground up ...
(Organization of information: DB's tables fields, relationships, tokens etc -- what are they how are they used etc etc so I can understand them from a mssql user's standpoint; also
Hosting information: can I access our fm unlimited db's using sql? or do I have to use CDML? What about ADO and SQL to reference FM data? What about Dreamweaver MX--asp and mssql is simple with that--how about FM?
Resource information: is there somewhere that has all this info compiled? I've looked for awhile now and I only find bits and pieces and nothing that puts it all together for me...)
I think that covers the basics of what I need... i know thats a lot of info, but even if you can help me with pieces of it thats better than nothing--thanks!

Google have announced the beta of Showcase Ads in the US, UK and Australia. The new Google Shopping ad types, Local Inventory Ads and Showcase Ads mark the beginning of how Google Shopping will be supporting the earlier stages of the customer journey, for example when users are searching by broad terms. Instead of just showing a selection of multiple products over many retailers, the user is led to a Google-hosted area, in which more products of the same retailer, together with ratings and reviews collected across retailers, are shown. Thus, Google starts to let users explore and discover a retailer's product offering outside of their own website.
Google Opens a New Impression Pool for Advertisers
Once shoppers click on an item, they are taken to the retailer's site just as they would have for a 'normal' Shopping click. Google Shopping is now becoming a rich gateway, where users can spend more time browsing before clicking out.
The new ad format will allow Google to further shift clicks for very broad queries like "living room furniture" to Shopping. Before now, Google risked losing paid clicks to organic search results due to irrelevant Shopping ads replacing search ads that were better optimized for broad searches. But they will now be able to open new Shopping impression pools for advertisers. According to Google, up to 40% of shopping related searches are very broad.
From our own client data, we have already seen a continuous growth in clicks for generic search queries entering Shopping auctions in 2015, as shown here.
Retailer Brand Name a Key Influencer
The first gatekeeper for the new ad format will – unlike for more targeted shopping searches – not be price and delivery speed, but rather the retailer's brand name. The takeaway for retailers that have not developed a strong brand name yet will be to use Shopping budgets in the early stages of the customer journey more as a mid-term branding investment rather than a classical short–term performance budget with hard ROI goals.
The Retailer's name will be more prominent for broad searches
Product Recommendations, Ratings and Reviews Will Play a Decisive Role – With the GTIN as an Enabler
Notice how Local Inventory Ads and Showcase Ads have both started recommending and annotating other products from the retailers' feed – by mixing in reviews and ratings from other retailers. According to a study from Nielsen product descriptions, reviews, and price comparisons play an equally important role when shopping via smartphone. It is noticeable how consequently Google aligns with and enforces user's interests by launching the Manufacturer Center, ist 'Mobile First' campaigns and the finally the GTIN initiative to provide all of these.

I haven't had a chance to make it to Naked Girls Reading yet, and I'm kinda bummed I can't make it to this one—the theme is "Book Fair," promising readings from young-adult classics, and as we all know my coffee table is chockablock with YA novels. (I just found a nice hardcover of John Corey Whaley's Where Things Come Back at Green Bean Books for half off! I've been meaning to read it since seeing Whaley at Wordstock last year. Stoked.)
If you're not familiar with Naked Girls Reading, Erik wrote about it here—basically it's naked chicks, mostly drawn from Portland's burlesque scene, reading books they like. (The comments on Erik's post are oddly grumpy. How does this NOT sound like a fun way to spend a Friday?)
Anyway, I've got a pair of tickets to giveaway to tomorrow night's show. Post the name of the kids' book character you most wanted to see naked when you were a kid (is this inappropriate?) in the comments and I will pick a winner at random by 5 pm today. (Make sure there's a valid email address attached to your Blogtown account, or include one with your comment, otherwise you WON'T WIN.)
The show is tomorrow at the Blue Monk, 10 pm; tickets are $13 and you can buy 'em here if you prefer to pay for them.

by Paul O'Grady
Birkenhead, 1973. The eighteen-year-old Paul O'Grady gets ready for a big Saturday night out on the town.
New white T-shirt, freshly ironed jeans, looking good.
As he bids farewell to his mum, who's on the phone to his auntie, and wanders off down the street in a cloud of aftershave, he hears her familiar cry: 'Oh, the devil rides out tonight, Annie.
The devil rides out!'The further adventures of Paul O'Grady - following on from the million-copy-selling At My Mother's Knee - are, if anything, even more hilarious and outrageous than what has come before.To say that The Devil Rides Out is action-packed is an understatement.
Its extraordinary cast of characters includes lords and ladies, the legendary Vera, a serial killer, more prostitutes than you can shake a stick at and drag queens of every shape and size.
Wickedly funny, often moving, and searingly honest, Paul's tales of the unexpected will make your jaw drop and your hair stand on end. And you'll laugh like a drain. The Devil Rides Out is one hell of a read!

Review by LyzzyBee
This second volume of his autobiography takes us from late teenagerhood and fatherhood (his adventures with girls are never fully explained, but just accepted – fair enough!) to the tentative birth of Lily Savage. Lots of scurrilous activity and details on how to work in a pub, become a female impersonator and put on an act, but also lots of details about his jobs in social services, which have obviously had a huge influence on him, and has, I would imagine, made him into the person we now warm to behind the brassy exteriors. Well written and engaging: there were just a few too many icky social services stories, maybe, which felt a bit jammed in at the last minute and struck a slightly odd note. But a good read in general.
Review by Lukerik
This is nearly as good as the 1st volume. Many funny moments (the colostomy bag episode in particular) but some darker, and no less interesting too, like the paedophilia & the ageing stripper.

This was my first time in Branson, and I really enjoyed the Wax Museum. I really like how they did the different scenes, and seeing all the figures and taking pics. The folks were very friendly and went out of their way to help out.

Stephanie MacLean-Graves
The place was great, but the castle of chaos is a must do if you go. Enjoyed the whole thing
Joshua Rowan
The family had fun, which is what a place like this is all about. Now my wife's FB profile pic is a shot of her next to Vin Diesel. Fun, but we have been to more realistic wax museums.
Anhart Brainy
This was one of the best wax museums I've ever been to. All of the stars looked lifelike, and I loved the props. My kids and I will love to come back and visit and will try their combo deal next time so we can do the mini golf, mirror maze and haunted castle too.
Bruce Baker
This was one of the best times my wife and I have had in a long time, and we are already planning our next visit.

SARS Strikes Nurses Nurses Harder Than Anyone ElseA rather upsetting article in the NY Times about Hong Kong nurses shouldering much of the burden of not only caring for SARS patients, but becoming victims themselves. One nurse talks about the burden of wearing protective equipment, and being avoided by friends and family.
But the worst by far has been the fear, a constant dread that the slightest mistake, like touching her eyes with a virus-contaminated finger, could leave her as feverish and breathless as the patients she treats, and perhaps even kill her.Although clearly the physical part is a problem as well:
"The most difficult part of the job is the psychological, not the physical," she said.
While SARS is not quite as terrifying as it was nearly two months ago, when scientists knew almost nothing about it, the disease remains extremely dangerous for nurses. Despite many precautions, hundreds of nurses here and in other cities in Asia and Canada have been infected. Two or three more health care workers, usually nurses, are still being infected in Hong Kong every day.But that's why they make the big bucks, no? No
Indeed, there are signs here that SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, is becoming a disease that strikes nurses harder than anyone else. Doctors accounted for many of the initial patients here, as they became infected while checking the throats of patients and performing other clinical diagnostic tasks. But as blood tests and other means for identifying patients have emerged, doctors have spent less time close to infected patients.
Nurses, however, have been falling sick in large numbers. According to the Hong Kong Hospital Authority, nurses now make up 55 percent of the 368 health care workers who have had confirmed cases of SARS here over the last two months. Doctors now account for just 15 percent of cases, a percentage that is steadily dropping as more nurses fall ill, while the remaining 30 percent of cases are among ward attendants, nursing assistants, cleaners and other workers at hospitals and clinics.
In addition to facing more risks than doctors, Hong Kong's nurses earn considerably less. The heavily unionized nurses at public hospitals typically earn about $38,000 a year, while staff doctors at the same hospitals earn close to $80,000, said Joseph Lee, the chairman of the Association of Hong Kong Nursing Staff, the union that represents two-thirds of the territory's 30,000 nurses.One more interesting side note:
The first health care worker to die here of SARS was a nurse, Lau Wing Kai, on April 26. His funeral Wednesday was expected to draw many government officials. Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's chief executive, ordered that he be buried at Gallant Garden, the cemetery for civil servants who die in the line of duty.A cemetery for civil servants who die in the line of duty. That's an interesting idea. In this country we don't even give public employees the right to a safe workplace.

Eight Of Spades
"No! Not like that!" George shouted at him. "Seriously bro, when did you become so dumb?"
Fred shrugged as everyone around them laughed. The twins were sat in the middle of the living room in the Burrow with Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Sirius and Remus sat on the sofas around them. They were trying out a new Muggle card trick and it was going horribly wrong. Fred tried shuffling the cards but ended up dropping them all over the floor. He growled, "Oh, for fu-"
Harry laughed as Fred gathered them all together, mumbling incoherent curses under his breath. "Pass 'em here, Freddie." George shook his head at his brother. "This is how you do it." After sorting them, the ginger boy furrowed his eyebrows. "Where is the eight of spades?"
"Is it not there?"
"Obviously not, otherwise I wouldn't have asked, would I?" George rolled his eyes. "We can try it without it but it'll be hard." George shuffled the cards, a bit better than his twin.
"That it will." Fred replied in a huff, leaning back on the sofa he was sitting in front of. Harry, who was sitting next to him, laughed and gave him a some-what comforting nudge.
"Aww, it'll be okay, Fred." Harry placed a hand on his thigh and squeezed gently. Fred grinned and Harry could've sworn he saw the ginger boy blush.
Ever since the Battle of Hogwarts and the end of Lord Voldemort, Fred and Harry had, somehow, grown closer. Seeing some of your closest friends die the most brutal deaths right before your very eyes did tend to do that to people. Many nights, Fred and Harry would curl up in front of the fire at the Burrow late at night, sometimes talking about everything and sometimes talking about nothing at all. Sometimes, as a comfortable silence engulfed them pair, they would look into each other's eyes, communicating feelings without exchanging words. It was strange, Harry thought, being able to talk about things with his best friend's brother rather than his best friend. But, it was comforting.
Fred, on the other hand, found it all confusing. One minute, he was friends with Harry, because Ron was, then suddenly, they were best friends. Then Fred looked at Harry in a different light. It was as if someone had knocked a bludger to his redhead (he suspected George, of course) and pointed to the young raven haired boy with dazzling green eyes and a unique scar upon his forehead. Dazzling? Oh yes, dazzling. Fred didn't know what it was but something about his eyes had his stomach doing back flips (again, he suspected it was George's doing) and his heart fluttering wildly in his chest. Fred had never doubted his sexuality but when it came to Harry, he thought anything was possible.
So, there they sat, Harry's hand on Fred's thigh and Fred was grinning and blushing like a love struck idiot. He quickly looked away, hoping Harry didn't notice how red he had become, and caught Sirius' eye from across the room. Sirius raised his eyebrows then gave a smug grin. "Knew it." He mouthed.
"Guys," Fred said, glaring at the ex-Marauder, "I'm just gonna talk to Sirius outside a second." He stood and, almost viciously, grabbed the man's leather clad arm and lead him to the back door. "What was that about? What do you know?" Fred demanded once Sirius shut the door behind him, loving the feel of the cool October breeze whipping gently across his heated face.
Sirius gave a smirk as he scanned Fred's freckled face. "You like Harry." He said.
Fred's jaw dropped and his eyes grew wide. Had he really been that obvious? "W-what?" He stuttered, face growing red with embarrassment once more. "N-no... I-I'm s-straight, Sirius. I d-don't... I don't like Harry-"
"Stop your blabbering and just listen to me, will you?" Sirius cut him off. "Every time you play Quidditch with him, you can't keep your eyes off of him. Every time he talks to you, you make far too much eye contact than normal friends would. Whenever he smiles at you you grin like a bloody fool and go all red. So, in short, you like him." Sirius concluded, yet another smug grin gracing his fine features. The younger twin bit his lip as he studied his trainers. "And I think he likes you back." Sirius pondered, not missing Fred's sudden stillness. "I mean, with Harry, it can be hard to tell. He can be confusing at the best of times."
"Isn't he straight?" Fred looked at the older man with curiosity.
"Not sure." Sirius shrugged and sat down on the patio steps. "He came to me a couple of days ago saying how he was starting to feel different, saying how he thinks he might be bisexual." Fred couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as he sat down next to Sirius. "And that grin just makes it way too obvious that you like him."
"Shut up." Fred shook his head, still unable to wipe the smile from his face. "It's not that I like him, I just..."
"Love him?" Sirius laughed.
"No!" Fred defended himself, glaring slightly. "He listens to what I have to say, no matter how stupid it is. He knows when I'm upset or angry about something and knows how to make me feel better-"
"Oh, I bet he does." Sirius said, wiggling his eyebrows at the teenager.
"Shut up and let me have my moment." Fred elbowed him in the ribs and carried on with his speech. "We can sit in silence and just be comfortable with each other. Even in those awkward silences which aren't exactly awkward for us, as I just explained." Fred counted off the reasons why he loved liked Harry Potter.
"I think you should go for it." Sirius told him, leaning back on his elbows. "I mean, what have you got to lose?"
"An amazing friend and my pride?" Fred said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"What, you think he'll turn you down?" The older man ran a hand through his shaggy hair. "I doubt it. More like jump your bones at the first opportunity he gets. He's crazy for you."
Fred furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, trying to ignore the heat that was tempted to creep up his neck. "Just a minute ago, you were saying how he wasn't sure about his sexuality and now your saying he's up for a shag with me?"
Sirius shrugged. "Hey, I haven't the slightest clue about much these days." He gave a small laugh.
Fred rolled his eyes and stood. "You're impossible, you are." He said as he shoved Sirius through the door.
"Just promise me you'll try." Sirius said, stopping in the doorway that connected the kitchen and the living room.
"I don't know." Fred sighed.
"Try what?" An achingly familiar voice asked from behind Sirius.
Sirius leapt aside, momentarily frightened by the voice, to find Harry staring between them. "Nothing." Fred responded, almost too quickly.
"You know you can't keep secrets from me, Fred." Harry said, leaning tantalizingly against the door frame. "And you're the worst liar in history."
Sirius grinned at Fred who narrowed his eyes in return. "I think I'll just leave you two alone then." He said before slipping from the room.
"Everyone's gone to bed." Harry said, retrieving two glasses from a cupboard. He put them on the table in the middle of the room and walked over to another cupboard next to Fred. Opening it, he told Fred, "And I feel like a drink." He pulled out a full bottle of Firewhiskey and set it on the table also. "So sit down." Harry grinned at the ginger haired boy.
"You sure?" Fred asked before taking a seat opposite to him.
"The Fred Weasley asking whether or not we should be drinking some Firewhiskey?" Harry said with a small laugh. His laugh always managed to make Fred completely lose his train of thought (on the rare occasions on which he actually had a train of thought). "That's one of the most bizarre things I've heard." Harry smiled as he poured the liquid into the glasses and slid one to Fred.
"Yeah." He replied quietly. "Yeah, guess it is."
"What's up?" Harry asked after taking a sip of his drink.
Fred didn't answer at first. First he imitated Harry, taking a sip and loving the familiar feeling of the liquid burning down his throat, then replied, "Nothing."
"Fred." Harry said sternly. "You know I can tell, right?"
Fred finished off his drink and rose from the table. "I said, nothing." He left the room without a backwards glance and ran to his room, legs shaking and face burning.
He didn't know how Harry always managed to get him in this state; so unbelievably happy yet so damn frustrated. Never had Fred dared stray over to the romantic side but being so close to Harry made him want to sing love songs to him from Hogwarts' Astronomy Tower, if he could actually sing, that was.
When Fred reached his room, George was asleep, snoring lightly, for which he was grateful. He didn't want his brother questioning him on the tears that gathered at the corner of his eyes, threatening to fall. Why Fred wanted to cry was obvious, but then again, pretty strange. He liked Harry. A lot. And being so close to him, wanting to touch him, wanting to hold him, reduced Fred to a mess. But why Fred liked Harry so much was strange. For starters, Fred was a guy and so was Harry. So Fred liking Harry would mean Fred was at least bisexual, if not, gay. But Fred was positive he was straight. So how could he like Harry?
The confused boy took off his t-shirt and jeans and climbed into bed, not loving the fact that Harry's bedroom was right across the hall and he could hear the boy humming what sounded vaguely like Panic! At The Disco's Lying Is The Most Fun as he passed. Fred clenched his teeth, stopping himself from whimpering, as he watched Harry's shadow pass under his door. Boy, did he feel pathetic.
An hour or so later, sleep dragged Fred into twisted dreams of the raven haired boy. His bright green eyes looking up at him, his soft plump lips grazing Fred's chest, nibbling their way across his jaw then, finally, meeting his lips. The nineteen year old woke, drenched in sweat with his back arched off the bed, biting his lip and panting. He groaned, looking out at the still dark night sky, and swung his legs off the bed and slipped silently from his room.
He walked slowly down the stairs, skipping the creaky one, and found himself sitting in the kitchen. The Firewhiskey bottle remained in it's place from only a couple hours prior, so he took it upon himself to have a glass or two. Taking his second glass into the living room, he sat on a sofa and picked up the deck of playing cards which were still on the coffee table. Shuffling through them, he realised the eight of spades was, most definitely missing.
"Looking for this?" A voice asked from behind him.
Fred caught his breath. Looking behind him, he found Harry, clad in only his boxers, holding up the exact card he was looking for. "Ah, so it was you, was it?" He tried to keep his voice as even as possible under the intense gaze of one Harry Potter, the only guy who could make his insides melt. Heck, the only person who could make his insides melt.
"Indeed it was." Harry laughed and handed the card back. He casually walked over to the window, peering out over the silent field. "What was up with you, Fred?" He asked quietly, not looking at him. "You were acting very odd."
Fred bit his lip as he rose from the couch and stood behind Harry. "I'm sorry... I-I just..." He trailed off, not knowing exactly what to say. Harry turned around slowly, his eyes gleaming. He rested his hands on Fred's shoulders and pushed him back gently, guiding him to the nearest sofa. "Harry?" Fred was too stunned to say anything else.
Harry didn't say anything. He licked his lips and pushed Fred down, so he was sat with Harry straddling him. Harry grinned before kissing him, gently at first, then biting on his bottom lip.
"Gay." Fred said quietly. "Definitely gay." He grinned before lying down with Harry on top of him.
As morning dawned upon the couple, sunlight gushing through the window, they were found cuddling on the same couch, only a blanket covering their naked forms. Harry rested his head on Fred's chest, listening to his heartbeat. "Is it still me that makes you sweat? Am I who you thinking about in bed..." He sung gently, Fred humming along with a small smile on his face. "I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better..." Harry grinned, trailing off. He looked at Fred with his bright eyes.
Fred kissed his boyfriend's forehead gently and closed his eyes once more. The light silence was soon broke by the all too familiar laugh of Sirius, followed by, "Yes! Moony owes me six galleons!"
