In its first year, in 1994, the London event called 100 per cent Design made everyone rethink the dreaded term "trade show." It was there that the now legendary Tom Dixon and Jasper Morrison gave Milan and Tokyo a run for their money as masters of the design universe. The same year, a hundred British labels were launched.
In the decade since I started attending the event, I've watched local designers come out of the woodwork and go on to establish thriving careers: Naughtone, Sebastian Wrong, Andrew Tye, Alexander Taylor, Lee Broom.
As it happens, Britain's biggest design names have outgrown 100 per cent Design. They've moved on to the now epic London Design Festival – a twoweek extravaganza – to show their work at studios around the city. But this has its benefits: 100 per cent Design, despite its successes, has found a way to remain grassroots, providing a launch pad for a new generation of designers.
Now, Italy, Japan and a dozen other nations have joined young Britons in showcasing products there.
The Scandinavians are consistent breakouts at the show, and this year Norway presented a highly organized collective. First-timer Caroline Olsson brought the highly praised Bambi table, which ticks all the classic Scandinavian design boxes with its austere aesthetic, petite dimensions and adaptability (it works as a dining table or, with legs folded under like a deer, as a side table).
And Norwegian photographer Tom Haga sewed up this year's concrete trend with his clever collection of wallpapers, each roll a laser print of his high-resolution photography, featuring raw and refined cinder-block walls.
At the 100 per cent France booth, the crowd-pleaser Espace Loggia, one of the more established labels at the event, showed its remote-control Triptyque Murphy bed that rises along a track to the ceiling by day, revealing a banquette with storage; it can even become a desk or table if you bring it down to another level.
Among the other familiar names in attendance was Esprit. Who knew the German fashion brand has launched a home line? I was particularly keen on its new self-adhesive textile carpet tiles in palettes of grey, red, pink and off-white.
They come in a paving-stone shape, so you can fit them together in interesting arrangements and colour combinations.
My eco award this year goes to Italian architect Luca Pegolo of Nautinox Living, whose green wall was the first thing most people saw when they walked in the door, and the first thing I remember when I think back on the event – primarily because its contents were still alive, which is more than I can say for other living walls on display there. Pegolo's succeeds because its latticework is deep enough to support pots of earth, like little window boxes. And you can plant climbers in the base to cover over the bald spots.
The runners up are the brilliant LED tea-lights by Hong Kong newcomers HoKaRé. If you're like me and despise tea-lights and their flimsy aluminum casings, you'll appreciate this permanent version, which comes in sets of 12 on a little recharger, lasts for hours and has a "flicker" setting.
I've left the home team for last, though not for its lack of lustre. Britain has set the bar high for ingenuity in design and it continues to surpass its own standards. Take the new London manufacturer/incubator D Haus, whose convertible table pays homage to Henry Ernest Dudeney, the mathematician who worked out how a perfect square can evolve into an equilateral triangle. This rotatable Corian table breaks down into six shapes, attached by removable hinges and fit with sliding drawers, book slots and a wine rack.
Hot off the presses, it was commissioned by Aram, one of London's most influential contemporary-design retailers.
Reputable furniture-maker Hitch Mylius was the unofficial star of the Best of Britain booth this year for its HM63 modular seating, which comes in several organic, pebble-shaped parts. Kathleen Hills showed her Cluster pendant light, a tangle of bone-china bulbs that's already making an impression on decor editors.
Honourable mention goes to the witty and brand-new Three Foot Three Design for its mod beech dining table that, when flipped over, reveals a beautifully carved railway track.
As for the Canadians, there were none, unless you count Karim Rashid, whose ceramics for Tau made an appearance. The word on the street is that this has to do with funding. "Nobody wants to spend money on publicity for design," says Christine Samuelian, a Canadian who runs the Londonbased PR firm Friends & Co. She's referring to the Canadian government.
"They'll spend money on hockey. But they don't value their designers." The last time the Design Exchange, the national body that promotes the value of Canadian design, sent a contingent of homegrown designers to London was in 2008. Since then, Canadians have had to content themselves with local fairs like Toronto's Interior Design Show, or foot the bill themselves.
In today's economy, that seems fair enough. But the Brothers Dressler from Toronto deserve the sizable and avid design audience that London offers. So does Shawn Place from Prince George, B.C. and any number of the Canadians who show at the IDS every January.
If Hungary, Poland and Argentina found a way into 100 per cent Design, why can't we?

How to Get the Job When You Are Overqualified
Sometimes, the job interview process feels like damned if you do, damned if you don't. You make a point of educating yourself, developing skills, and applying for jobs that in your area of expertise. Then you hear it: "you're overqualified." Understand why employers think this is a bad thing, and be ready to make your case in your next job interview.

Why Employers Worry About Hiring Overqualified Workers
One of the biggest concerns about hiring overqualified workers is that the employee will first become bored and distracted, then their work ethic will fall. They will come in late, take excessive breaks, and lose interest in a job that is "beneath them." As soon as something better comes along, the overqualified employee will jump at the chance to take it, leaving the employer with a vacancy to fill.
It is not unfair to ask you to do a little soul-searching. If you are overqualified for the job, think about whether you will you stay and put in your all. If you can truly say that you will, the next step is to be prepared for the questions that will come your way when the interviewer looks at your qualifications.
Be Ready for These Questions
- "We can't pay you enough." Be willing to discuss salary openly, but do not come across as desperate. Know your salary needs before you go into the interview, and consider ahead of time whether you are willing to take a pay cut.
- "You will be bored in this job." Come prepared with a list of things that appeal to you in the job, and discuss what you hope to learn.
- "You will leave as soon as something better comes along." Lean on your track record, if you have a history of staying for long periods of time at companies, or provide reasons why you think you'll be able to grow in this position for a while.
Be prepared to address the employer's concerns, and discuss why you want this job. You might need the schedule because it fits into your personal life. You might want to develop certain skills, and this position will enable you to do that. You might be especially interested in working for this particular company and, if that is case, be ready to talk about why you like the company so much.

In the past I was hired as a procurement clerk, with the federal government. I applied for the position I saw posted last year and I qualified for the position. However, I was notified from them through the mail that I was over qualified for the position.
Always over looked in a job also if you are good at something they don't want to promote you even though you may deserve it. The company I work for promotes the lazy worker.
Need to get Christmas dad is in hostage care and in need for Christmas I have four Childern and don't no what I'm going to do so please can u help thank lisa tatum
Please send me my PS4 thank you
You have a few good points. I would simply stress that one may take a position due to the flexibility provided. I have done so, so I am closer to my kids in case of any problems at school. Reduced responsibilities also allow me to spend more time with the kids. Thanks.

Until I began loving myself without condition, I lived in fear.
Flight, fight or freeze: the trilogy of responses to fear. Though fear, according to Psychology Today, is a vital response to physical and emotional danger—if we didn't feel it, we couldn't protect ourselves from legitimate threats. They also write, that "often we fear situations that are far from life-or-death, and thus hang back for no good reason." That's the freeze part, immobilized by the unknown.
Useful fear is our first alert and shows up as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. This unpleasant emotion may also be triggered by something that is not visible, imminent, present or even real. This type of fear is often described as False Evidence Appearing Real.
Let's explore this. If the threat isn't imminent it is likely unknown. We think something might happen if we don't do better at life. I fear I won't have enough money. I fear that no one will ever like me. I fear that I have failed in my life. I fear that I am simply not strong enough to live my dreams. I fear (insert your own self-doubt here).
This useless fear shows up as self-loathing, self-doubt, a sense of lack that as it lingers grows larger and larger each day. This fear feeds on itself and becomes a mask over what is actually real. This leads to depression, a negative outlook and blindness of an otherwise happy life. Nothing good comes out of fear.
We might wear our masks unknowingly or we decide at some point in our life that by not sharing our true selves we will be protected from others judgments (who cares?) all the while hiding our magnificence. We are all manifesting our divine nature in our special way and it needs to be shared. This is true service to others.
Self-doubt can be a life sentence of fear without committing a crime. Why do we do this to ourselves? We are fantastic just as we are. Why not love all of ourselves, even our wrongs and stupid mistakes? (By the way, we ALL make them!)
Digging deeper into my own personal experience of being fearful, it seems that another F-word may be the antidote to unreal fears: Facing my truth. Until I arrived at the moment of unconditional love for myself, I lived in fear. I've lived through this until I saw my past as essential life moments by which, like all of us, I learned how to live better. There was this moment not so long ago when in meditation I saw past events in my mind's eye, pictured on thousands of dominoes and when I released a long cleansing breath, the dominoes started falling as they do and created this beautiful mosaic of my life and I said, AHHH! This changed my life.
The fear that is not vital is a mask of our truth. I let others define my truth though it was usually in conflict with what I felt. It caused confusion, struggle, feelings of lack and those emotions and negative beliefs turned into a sick cycle of trying to prove something false and hiding from myself just in case the judgments and opinions offered by others just might be true. Do you relate? This fear wreaked havoc in my life and others' lives. I manifested what I feared. I was a complete and total failure.
This, of course, was false and allowed me to create the next cycle of fear: I would never succeed. I never thought to ask myself if this was true?
Through years of spiritual practice and guidance of many mentors, I began a journey into removing the mask. Seeing myself truly as I was with flaws and failings and happy times and triumphs I embraced my humanness and unmasked a beautiful spiritual being navigating life like all the rest of us. We come here without an instruction book. We receive guidance from those who created us and others that come into our lives. We begin to be conditioned and acclimated into society before we learn who we really are; before we know our real truth. For many it takes a lifetime (or more) to know that we are truly, simply people, created equally, beautifully unique with our own shape, smile, struggles, sadness and joy.
Fear is a mask that hides our true self and we can only face our unmasked truth through love for ourselves without conditions. "I like myself but I can be better," is a mask. You are, and I am, who we are now at the moment. Love that. Love you. Fear masks the love of ourselves. When we surrender to who we are right now, this moment and give ourselves a pat on the back and a really big hug because we are awesome as we are. And then you'll no longer need the mask or the fear.
Super heroes (my favorite is Spider man) wear masks to perform great feats of saving others who wish to do so anonymously though we love it when their true self is revealed. We love them more. Are you a super hero behind that mask? I think you are.
Accept and love yourself without condition and you will find that this self-love unmasks the rest of your world view, seeing people as they are, judging nothing about them and accepting all of them because things like flaws and faults are only perceptions and opinions based on personal conditioning and societal influences .
Find yourself judging others? Please stop. It does not benefit you. They too have a mask that only they may remove in their time. They are learning life just like you and me.
I find that unconditional love of myself relieves me of any need to judge another. If I don't judge them, I don't fear them and hopefully by example, they will unmask themselves with me so we can be love.
Unconditional love for yourself leads to universal love for all encouraging all to remove their masks and remove the fear of being oneself.
My love for myself, is without condition or judgement, even on seemingly bad days which are few.
When I do something I think is wrong, I say, "self, stop that" and I laugh at myself and move on. When I do something good, I say, "self, do that some more" and I laugh at myself and move on.
I love all of my recovering life.
I invite you to subscribe to my blog by email, or follow me on Twitter, because I love to share my life with you and others who are turning those wtf ("why the fear") moments into love. Be kind to yourself and share yourself with others.

Fasten your seatbelts: Unruly plane behaviour causes spike in air rage
AIR rage incidents have risen 60 per cent in the past year, according to new figures.
The Civil Aviation Authority said passengers have sparked security alerts 104 times so far in 2013, compared to 67 cases last year.
Smoking in toilets, passengers refusing to fasten seat belts and drunkenness are among the most common complaints in a log of serious incidents reported to the CAA during 2012.
Unruly children caused headaches for cabin crews. Pilots had to abort a landing at Barcelona as a child ran amok in the cabin. The child was eventually "secured" for landing.
Five passengers attempted to open doors while aircraft were in flight and one deployed the over-wing slide.
In 2012 a pilot was forced to burn excess fuel so the aircraft could return to offload an "abusive passenger".
The pilot was then given emergency clearance to land when the aircraft was still three tons overweight after the situation deteriorated.
Anything that jeopardises the safety of passengers is a concern
A passenger's iPad melted after it was left to charge in a seat pocket, and in 2011 a burning mobile phone was found in the base of a seat.
In another incident, an elderly man's phone call interfered with the pilot's links to air traffic control.
Stranger hazards include a passenger who poured alcohol on to his seat and ignited it with a lighter.
In 2011 a man was restrained after running into the path of a taxiing aircraft to retrieve his boarding card.
A spokesman for pilots' union Balpa said: "Anything that jeopardises the safety of passengers is a concern."
The figures come just days after 20-year-old Michael Paul McGrath was jailed for trying to kick, punch, head-butt and bite crew and passengers on a four-hour flight from Turkey to Belfast.

You may have heard the news that we failed to pass in the Senate Judiciary B committee. The reason we failed to pass is not because the Louisiana Legislature rejected our resolution. In fact, we were sure that the resolution would pass on the floors of both the House (which we did by a vote of 60-38) and the Senate. What happened to the resolution is much more complicated than that. HCR2 was deliberately sabotaged. Here is the full story:
If you recall in the emails I sent out previously I mentioned that the committees we would be assigned to were the House and Governmental Affairs Committee (in the House) and the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee (in the Senate). And this played out in practice up until we passed the House and made our way to the Senate. We learned that we were assigned to a different committee from what we previously had thought. At first we were confused and thought it could have been a mistake. When we dug deeper and more facts started to come out however, it painted a much different picture. It appears that Senate President John Alario had colluded with Senate Democrats including Senator JP Morrell and Senator Karen Carter Peterson to assign us to the Judiciary B committee, a majority Democrat committee which both Morrell and Peterson sit on, so they could effectively kill HCR2 and prevent it from getting to the floor. Senator Morrell and Peterson along with some of their Democrat colleagues had every intention in killing HCR2 before the hearing even began. This was all done in spite of what the Senate rules say. According to Senate rules, any bills or resolutions dealing with "intergovernmental relations between the state and the United States or other states" must go to Senate and Governmental Affairs. In fact, other Article V applications in the past have always gone to this committee. It appears that Senate President Alario in collusion with Senate Democrats broke Senate rules to kill the Convention of States resolution.
In the midst of all of this, our primary sponsor Representative Ray Garofalo has been a tremendous patriot. He kept his professionalism in committee on Tuesday while Senate Democrats Morrell and Peterson attempted to demean him by calling him a "hostile witness". He has fought courageous battles on the front lines in both the House and the Senate fighting for liberty and the Constitution. Representative Garofalo has upheld his oath to preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States while others have neglected that responsibility.
The same cannot be said of Senate President Alario. He says he is a "Republican" on paper, but in practice he is far from it. He is no conservative. He is nothing but a RINO (Republican In Name Only). In fact I don't know if you know this, but Alario was a Democrat just a few years ago until he switched his party affiliation. Despite that, it looks like he still remains loyal to the Progressive cause. And his actions in killing this legislation unequivocally proves that. Senators Morrell and Peterson can be said to be extremely loyal promoters of the Progressive cause as well. Their actions make them equally as culpable as Senator Alario. Senator Peterson, in an Op-Ed in 2013, once referred to "Republicans and their tea party colleagues" as "the disease that ails this nation". She even went as far to say that the medicine our country needs is "a tea party amputation". Senator Peterson also happens to be the Chairperson of the Louisiana Democratic Party. You must ask yourself, how does a Republican Senate President send a resolution like this to a committee that has the Democrat Party leader for the state of Louisiana and permit her to make this decision on behalf of the entire state of Louisiana with 38 other states considering this resolution right now?

Police probe alleged fraud at Vic Uni
Victoria University says it sparked a fraud investigation in its own ranks after alerting police to allegations of inappropriate conduct involving up to $10 million two years ago.
Victoria Police Fraud Squad Police have reportedly identified 25 suspects in the alleged fraud.
The university has issued a statement, saying it first suspected fraud in late 2000.
The fraud relates to transactions by staff within the university and the Western Melbourne TAFE, which merged in 1998.
A number of people were convicted in court last year, but there are a number of suspects still facing charges.
The university says it has since improved its fraud prevention system and has not detected any problems for the past two years.
The Federal Government has praised Victoria University's handling of fraud allegations.
A spokesman for Federal Education Minister Dr Brendan Nelson says the allegations are serious, and the university has done the right thing by referring it to police.

Very Happy Cats posted on 29/08/2017 by Diana
My sisters 2 indoor cats are very large and because of this they use a big litter box. These liners are strong and the fit the boxes to a "T". I will be buy them again for her.
Does the job successfully! posted on 31/12/2016 by TeriB
This product just makes life so much easier. I never thought that plastic could be so durable but this isn't bad at all. I have two 17year old cats who use their litter trays quite a bit and do a lot of scratching around. There is a little leakage noticed when I change their trays but this product still makes this chore less arduous!
posted on 29/09/2016 by memmoc
Very good quality. This product is excellent. It is strong, enabling one to lift it out tray complete with cat litter.
Best Ive found posted on 29/12/2014 by juneytaylor
Ive used several different brands of littler tray liners and these are by far the best quality Really thick plastic that the cats cant scratch through Would highly recommend
Great Value posted on 13/09/2012 by Chris
These are very good quality liners at a very reasonable price They fit my large litter tray perfectly and so far my cat hasnt managed to claw through the thick plastic I will be buying these on a regular basis
Perfect posted on 06/09/2012 by Steve
These are perfect for both our litter trays which differ slightly in size The main thing is the thickness of the bags which prevents scratchthrough and the ease of folding whilst removing to a bin liner for disposal Also these are a lot cheaper than my previous supply which has dried up for some reason
Brilliant posted on 07/08/2012 by babygirlellis2367
I have 2 very large moggys and have tried litter box liners before but none that impressed me until I tried these. They are quite thick and so far my cats haven't managed to claw any holes in them. They make cleaning the litter tray so much easier and quicker. Will definitely be buying these again.
Great product posted on 01/05/2012 by ladyvegas
Super value made from strong material ideal for disposing of used cat litter. Wouldn't be without them.
Fits Petplanet Kitty Litter Box with Door posted on 06/11/2016 by New Kitten Owner
Fits my Petplanet Kitty Litter Box with Door perfectly. Thought might have a drawstring or something to throw it away. I'm having to put it into another plastic bag to put it in the bin and does not feel very environmentally friendly.

"Mixed experiences of miscarriage care"
About: Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Gynaecology Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France Gynaecology EH16 4SA Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Maternity care Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France Maternity care EH16 4SA
Posted by Lost Geek (as ),
I was diagnosed with my first miscarriage in August 2013 at a routine 12 week scan. The sonographer who diagnosed it was cold and uncaring. When she could see I was upset at the prospect of an internal scan to confirm the bad news she asked 'what's the matter with you, are you allergic to latex?'
When I had to be shown to the toilet in advance of the internal scan, she seemed to be escorting me but was actually just on her way somewhere else and brusquely told me off for following her when the toilets were in a different direction.
After this, once I was in the care of the Pregnancy Support Unit at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the care I received was outstanding. All the staff really looked after me and showed that they cared. The sonographers from the unit who scanned me later to ensure my womb had emptied and who cared for me during a later miscarriage (including the diagnosis at a 9 week scan) were just wonderful.
This is a really valuable service and I so appreciated it.

Byte Back is a fine place to take classes, assist in community training, contribute to as well as keep in touch with. The staff and instructors have been very good for many. Some time ago I wanted to learn how to clean my computer. I attended sessions there and learned how plus some. I actually learned how to dismantle and rebuild one. It was a tremendous experience and joy. Prior to that I'd attended other Byte Back training sessions that enhanced my ability to use Personal Computers, the internet and write/decipher code, ... I thank God for Byte Back and its staff and will continue to encourage others to attend and contribute to Byte Back. I pray for the continuation of this program and for all involved in it. THANK YOU very much Byte Back!
I have been attending classes at Byte Back for a number of years. I am currently employed as a program assistant at an International Organization and wanted to keep my skills up to date, because of Byte Back's schedule and pricing I am able to attend the classes that I need. There was also a class on Budgeting which was very well received by everyone who attended. I can truly say that Byte Back provides a necessary service to everyone.
I work for one of Byte Back's partner organizations, Academy of Hope. We were able to start our computer program years ago because of a wonderful Byte Back Intern, Mimi, who later joined our staff for several years. Today, once again, Byte Back helps us offer classes at our school.

Chennai, April 5 (IANS) The team of forthcoming horror-thriller "Jithan 2", a sequel to 2005 film "Jithan", experienced supernatural presence when they were shooting at a prime location in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu.
The film's director and producer Rahul shared his 'eerie' experience during film's shooting schedule.
"All horror films come with good and bad experiences. In our case, we had a bad experience when we were shooting at the suicide point in Kodaikanal, against the advice of the local people. During the course of the shoot, we experienced something eerie, and we knew it wasn't normal," Rahul told IANS.
Although nothing bad happened on the sets, Rahul still recalls it as a strange experience.
"My cinematographer and I felt the supernatural presence. It freaked us out briefly, but we were glad nothing bad happened. It was extremely challenging to shoot under such circumstances but it was equally thrilling," he said.
Slated to release on Friday, the film stars Ramesh, Karunas, Yogi Babu and Robo Shankar.
Shrushti Dange plays the ghost.
"This is a horror story with a twist. Unlike the regular portrayal of ghosts, what audiences will get to see won't make them squirm in their seats. There's nothing devilish about the story, because we've tried to portray the ghost as a human being, and one with emotions," said Rahul, adding that the story emphasises that there are also good spirits.
The film will have a connection with the prequel, confirms the director.
"In 'Jithan', Ramesh dies in the end. In this part, however, he's reborn. There's lot of visual effects (VFX) work involved and we worked with the best in the business to get the most satisfying output," he said.
On working with Ramesh, Rahul said: "As a director, when one is clear of what he wants from Ramesh, then he's a treat to work with".
Lyca Productions denies association with Dhanush's 'Kodi'
Chennai, April 5 (IANS) Lyca Productions, the makers of superstar Rajinikanth's Tamil sci-fi action drama "2.o", has denied it has got the theatrical rights of Dhanush-starrer Tamil political drama "Kodi".
"We are not associated with 'Kodi'. Contrary to reports, we haven't bagged its theatrical rights. Any news regarding the collaboration is just a rumour," a representative from Lyca told IANS.
Lyca has five projects on their slate.
"Our forthcoming releases are 'Vetrivel', 'Ennaku Innoru Peru Irukku', 'Yaman', yet-untitled Kamal Haasan project with director Rajeev Kumar and filmmaker Shankar's magnum opus '2.o'," the source said.
Lyca, who made a splash with Vijay-starrer Tamil blockbuster "Kaththi" in 2014, ventured into distribution with National award-winning Tamil film "Visaaranai" and "Naanum Rowdy Dhaan".
Turkey beckons Dhanush's 'Enai Nokki Payyum Thota' team
Chennai, April 5 (IANS) The makers of Dhanush-starrer Tamil romantic action film "Enai Nokki Payyum Thota", which also features Rana Daggubati, will shoot some important sequences in Turkey.
The shooting at the foreign location will start this weekend.
"The team plans to shoot a few scenes and a song across exotic locations in Turkey. While the team has already reached Turkey, Dhanush is expected to join later this week to shoot through the weekend," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
The film is directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon and also stars Megha Akash.
Double Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman was rumoured to be the composer; however, the source denied it.
"As of now, we haven't finalised on any composer. Talks are going on with a few music directors and a final decision will be taken soon," he said.
Jointly produced by Gautham Menon and P. Madan, the film is slated for release later this year.

I do not think there is a way out of the proliferation of churches in Nigeria, this is because our constitution allows for freedom of religion and freedom of association, therefore to stem the emergence of more churches would be in breach of the fundamental rights of the people. however, Nigerians, in their thirst for spiritual fulfillment, should look before they leap, so as not to fall prey to fraudulent pastors, who are out to prey on hapless citizens.

This year both the 3-day room trading and attendance at the show itself seemed down. This is a sign of the times as the internet is taking it's toll on collectors shows of all types. The Chicago show is still the biggest and best toy soldier show in the world and with the new promotors taking over I don't see that changing in the near future.
|Show time!
1. Plastic Collectors- Large scale plastics 54mm-60mm are always a big at this show. Lot's of rooms selling & displaying plastic & playsets whether it's vintage such as Marx, Timpo, Britains and US & European plastics, modern generation but out-of-production and now on the secondary market such as Barzso or Conte and lately new production manufactures such as TSSD, LOD, Paragon and Replicants who have used this show to launch their latest sets. This year was no exception with all of the aforementioned companies offering new figures and sets. The "plastic" guys are still passionate about their hobby and support it with a mind boggling amount of available products in the "hall of plastic" on the 5th floor of the hotel.

Star distraught after father dies
A footballer whose father died from a suspected heart attack after watching his son's cup-winning performance has been left "distraught", his team manager says.
Kilmarnock midfielder Liam Kelly's father Jack, 59, collapsed at the end of the Scottish Communities League Cup final at Hampden on Sunday.
He had just seen his son's team beat league leaders Celtic 1-0 to lift the cup.
Kilmarnock manager Kenny Shiels spoke of the sadness that had enveloped the side following the death.
He said: "We are all feeling for Liam and his family. It is very sad. I spoke to him this morning and he is distraught, of course he is.
"It is going to be hard for him, he's only a young boy and we shouldn't forget that.
"Apart from feeling for Liam and his family, we wanted to enjoy the achievement and we did that with the trip around the town last night, but it was tinged with sadness.
"Liam is one of the Kilmarnock family and the compassion shown towards him and his family by the players and staff has been tremendous.
"The most important thing is the Kelly family and we will do everything we can to provide pastoral care. He and his family have got to deal with what has happened and we must respect that."
Mr Kelly was treated by paramedics near the Kilmarnock dugout after he collapsed shortly before 5pm. He was taken to the nearby Glasgow Victoria Infirmary where he died at 5.45pm, police said.

Yesterday I restarted my bi-monthly hyperbaric treatments. I was really hoping it would have the restorative powers it often has had in the past. I needed a kick. Only it was not to be. I am either still quite felled by heartbreak, or what I truly do not wish for has happened.
My past three monthly blood tests to chart my GFR numbers (which thankfully have remained a steady 46) have shown a development that I have been quite the head burying ostrich about. The protein levels in my urine have been steadily rising. What does that mean? Well due to my history it seems the most likely cause is that I am no longer in remission: my Lupus is back.
Just typing that seems too much to me. I have an overwhelming desire to just run away from the computer, and if there was not a torrential monsoon downpour out right now, I likely would.
After the success of the chemo I was sure I had made a deal with my body. I would treat it well and it would keep my Lupus locked away in my DNA and out of my blood. It would leave it where it did me no active harm. Now I am afraid my body did not listen to me. That it has reverted back to trudging on without a care for my wants/needs.
After two solid years of the Lupus being driven from my body, I had gotten quite used to it being gone. I let myself believe that it was gone for good. I let myself believe that I had bested something, one thing, that was consuming my body. It was a major victory. It left me in such a better place both physically and emotionally. I felt like a warrior who had slayed a dragon. I opened a door that read possible and never looked back.
But now….
Now I feel like I walked though a door of unlimited potential only to find me butting up against a horizon that never moved. A wall, I could not see.
My doctor said when the first indication came in 3.5 months back that it was likely nothing, but he would monitor it carefully. I thought nothing of it and went about my way even forgetting all about this. Well until the next month. Again the levels rose, I started to become concerned. I had believed it would just go away. But it did not. It rose again. Faster than the month before. Then one month later I got tested in Cambodia. And while it amazingly cost me just over $5, they were unequipped to do all the tests I needed. So I had to wait 15 days till I returned to Thailand to get the latest results. By this time I was worried. I asked them to send the results directly to my doctor as I could not deal with the moments of wondering looking at the stats until he replied to me. I needed to know but I certainly did not want to know. My gut told me they would be bad.
And when I got the message from my doctor, I let it sit in my inbox for over a day. And when I did read it I wished I had not. I read this line over and over again, till it was burned into my retinas: "If it continues to rise at this level next month, we will have to work on the assumption that the lupus is back." My heart started beating all irregular. I thought this must be what it feels like to fall off a cliff trying to think of a way to avoid impact.
I did everything to avoid thinking about it all last month. It did not work. To cope I returned to the water & food consumption directions that my renal dietitian gave me. The ones I had earlier in the year tossed out as balderdash as I was not getting any worse and losing weight at such an alarming clip. The ones I totally ignored. They now seemed sacrosanct.
I even purposely set up my vitals test for the last day of the week to prolong not knowing, plowing my head deeper and deeper into the ground.
All this is clearly effecting my mental health something awful. The person who opened that possible door and leapt across the threshold last year and kept running all this year seems to be hibernating and I am left with questions that will only prolong this state: What happens if it goes from "it is possible your Lupus is back" to "your Lupus has returned"? How will I cope with this? How can I cope with this? How will I be able to marry prolonging the life of my kidneys with fighting the lupus?
I asked my doctor this exact question only to receive the less than reassuring response along the lines of "lets wait and see if it is back for sure before we worry about that."
So now I sit here in a cafe on a Saturday afternoon, dodging a torrential downpour, visibly counting the days on my fingers till i know: Sunday. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Four.
And just like that I have another huge variable to account for as I plan my future. A variable that only makes sense with the value of hopeless. See just how much this is effecting my mental health. This is who I used to be. Not the person I have become.
I spent last night and most of today vividly remembering the days I waited for the results of my kidney biopsy last June and the days of utter despondency when I found out just how far along my kidney failure was. That despondency is echoed today. I feel overwhelmed by it all over again. At least then I had friends nearby who made sure I was not sinking past the point of no return. Even as I disengaged from them even more after I got the word, as I realized I had to change everything and leave, seek out a better future, they were there to physically support me. Now I feel all alone. I feel like I am finally being tested to see if I am as strong as I have always presented myself as. As I think I am.
Being an ex-pat is extremely hard in this way. You meet people, share intense experiences with them and then move on. The foundations of friendship are surely there, but the emotional attachment one needs is absent. I never knew how hard it would be to not just pick up the phone and call my friend Matthew, which I have done pretty much at least weekly for the past 20 years.
So am I supposed to prove to myself that I am as strong as other believe me to be? How? I am no longer that hard ridged individual that ushers everyone out when something hard or serious is about to happen. I am no longer that person who refused people's help/support when I underwent chemo or even when I got my kidney diagnoses. I now deeply regret that I did not allow people to be around me during those exceedingly hard times, or any of the many other situations I closed myself off from help. I used to draw my strength from a stoic version of individualism that made my Germanic roots point and laugh as even they thought it was all a bit much. Now I need people, and I just do not have those I need nearby.
And if I am flipping out now with just the potential of my Lupus being active again, what will happen if, as I truly suspect, I get word that it is back and this ______________ is what we need to do? That I am even questioning this out loud says quite a bit about how much this worries me. Normally my worry is done completely in my head where it can not bother anyone but me. But this worry has engulfed me too much to let it continue to ricochet and damage my insides. I had to let it out.
So sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday I am expecting a message that I really want to avoid. But as I learned when I avoided going to the doctor for years, as the Lupus swelled within me and its wolves consumed my kidneys, stalling is not the answer. Not confronting this is akin to disaster. So here I am at ground zero, waiting for the bomb to fall… not fun, but necessary.
I will let you all know what I hear.

Cape Porpoise Harbor and Goat Island Light Cape Porpoise, Maine
Cape Porpoise Harbor by Frank Handlen
Getting Adam's Goat
The sparkling jewel of Cape Porpoise Harbor, now under the able stewardship of the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust, was not set without controversy. Merchants and ship owners of the District of Kennebunk petitioned the United States Congress to build a light house on Goat Island in 1831. $6000 was appropriated for the project. At the following session of Congress objections were filed by the Marine Society of Portland against the building of a light-house on Cape Porpoise. The objection was acknowledged but the plan was to go forward. Eastern Argus printed a request for sealed proposals for its construction in August of 1832. Both the dwelling and the tower were to be constructed of good suitable split undressed stone. The cone-shaped 20' tower was to be 16' diameter at the base and 9' diameter at the top. Whale oil in Goat Island Light was first ignited in August of 1833.
Democrat Joshua Herrick, Kennebunkport's only United States Congressman, served from 1843-1845. His short term was not without effort on behalf of his home town. He promoted an elaborate survey and improvement plan of Cape Porpoise Harbor which included the construction of an 852' pier stretching "from Savin Bush Island to the extremity of an old pier extending from Milk Island, and formerly used for mooring vessels." While the fate of Herrick's plan was being deliberated Kennebunk's Adam McCulloch filed a claim against the United States of America. The bill for his relief was presented March 3, 1845, one day before Joshua Herrick's term expired.
Mr. Shepperd Cary, from the Committee of Claims, made the following report to the 28th Congress 2nd session:
"That it appears the United States have built a light-house upon Goat island, in the State of Maine, and that the title to said island is claimed by Adam McCulloch."
McCulloch's complaint went on to outline some local history. In 1651, George Cleave, agent of Rigby, granted to Gregory Jeffery two hundred acres of land, and three islands in Cape Porpoise one of which was Goat Island. Cape Porpoise was depopulated in 1689, during King William's War. Land grants were lost in the shuffle and when the settlers returned land ownership needed to be verified. John Jeffery, son of Gregory, claimed his father's 200 acres and three islands in Cape Porpoise. His descendants, John and Benjamin Jeffery deeded Goat Island to Hugh McCulloch.
"In 1834, Hugh McCulloch being dead, the superintendent of lighthouses for this district offered to purchase of the undersigned (who was the oldest son, and subsequently administrator of the estate of said Hugh) the said Goat Island, if he would give the United States a warranty deed; but not being able to find the deed to his father, and the estate of his father being insolvent, he declined doing it. The superintendent ultimately took a quit-claim deed from the agents of the States of Massachusetts and Maine, for which he paid nothing; and the money which was appropriated for the purchase of the island was returned to the treasury of the United States.
The undersigned, being duly authorized by the judge of probate for the County of York to make sale of the real estate belonging to the estate of Hugh McCulloch, purchased the island himself.
If certain contemplated improvements should be made in Cape Porpoise Harbor, Goat Island would probably become valuable for a fishing stand, for which it was originally purchased; that business being extensively carried on there, and on the increase. The United States government, however, having erected a light-house on the island, the undersigned is now willing to execute a good and sufficient deed to the United States, rather than to eject the light house keeper by aid of our State courts. He therefore prays your honorable body that an appropriation be made to pay for said Goat Island.
Adam McCulloch"
Kennebunkport Historian, Charles Bradbury, offered his impeccable reputation to support McCulloch's claim.
"I, Charles Bradbury, of Kennebunkport, County of York, and State of Maine, having written and published the History of Kennebunkport and having been appointed by the governor of this State to superintend the copying of the early records of Maine, hereby certify that, from a careful examination of the said records, and from an attentive pursuit of the early history of this State, Massachusetts and Maine never had any title to Goat Island, situated in Cape Porpoise harbor, on which a light-house was erected in 1834; nor did they ever claim to have any title to any of the islands on the western shore of Maine till (for the purpose of enabling the United States to erect the light-house in 1834) they quit their title to Goat Island to the United States; nor have they since that time claimed any other islands on this shore, in which they would have equal right; many of which are very valuable.
I also certify that I knew John Jeffery and Benjamin Jeffery, who deeded Goat island to Hugh McCulloch; and that they owned and resided on the land held by them by virtue of the same grant by which Goat island was holden; and that John Hovey, the justice before whom the deed was acknowledged, was my grandfather, with whose writing I am well acquainted, and the signature on that deed purporting to be his is genuine. I further certify that I was auctioneer at the sale of the real estate of Hugh McCulloch, deceased, and that Goat island was bought by Adam McCulloch, son of said Hugh, and administrator on his estate; and that the sale was according to law.
Charles Bradbury"
Certified copies of all the Deeds in question follow in the report.
Testimony from a long-time resident of Trott's Island also supported McCulloch's claim.
"I, Joseph Tarbox, of Kennebunkport, in the County of York and in the State of Maine, aged 76 years, do depose, testify and say: That I have lived on Trot's Island, on the northeasterly side of Cape Porpoise harbor and contiguous to Goat Island (at low water) for 28 years last past; and previous to that, I lived in the vicinity of said harbor; that I was well acquainted with Hugh McCulloch, Esq., as I worked for him, more or less, for six years; that he owned Goat and Folly Islands when I worked for him and let one Bradbury Perkins set up a fish stand, and build a store and make fish on them."
Eunice Perkins' affidavit indicates that she owned several islands in Cape Porpoise Harbor next adjoining Goat and Folly Islands. She had long known those two islands to belong to McCulloch.
Joshua Herrick certified that "Eunice Perkins is a person of the first respectability and credibility and that her testimony in the case in point would be considered, where she is known, as more important than that of any other person."
It is surprising to learn that the Islands in Cape Porpoise Harbor were still populated in 1845.
The evidence presented was irrefutable and on July 15, 1846 congress approved a payment of $300 to Adam McCulloch for legal title to Goat Island.

Yesterday I had a conversation with my Mom about my personal financial situation and for the first time in many years it actually went well. I didn't have to be ashamed of my personal financial situation and I could talk honestly about what was happening in my life, money wise.
After the market crash I was tens of thousands of dollars in debt and I hid it from my family. They knew I was having financial troubles, but they didn't really know how bad it was because I couldn't tell them, I was ashamed.
I told my mom I wanted to buy some new clothes for my new job starting on February 3, but I have to wait until my next pay check because I already spent money this week on personal splurges. I used to buy whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted and I usually I bought things on credit – which landed me tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Now I allow myself to make one personal purchase each pay check to stay out of debt, avoid overspending and not deprive myself.
"But you must be OK now financially, right?" asked my mom. "Because all your debt is paid off, now you have money, right?" Of course I reassured my mom that everything related to finances is going well in my life. "Yes mom, I have money. That doesn't mean that I should spend it though."
Make sure you always have money with these 3 tips:
Be afraid to spend money. Act like spending money is the scariest thing in the world. That's how I live my life now. When I first became debt free I was scared to spend money because I didn't want to get back into a life full of sadness and debt payments. When I was emotionally sound enough to actually start spending again I was so consumed with guilt that I stopped spending money. Being afraid of spending money is much better than living with guilt.
Think about your past. I wasn't always bad with money. Before I ended up in debt I was financially OK but then I started spending money I didn't have and I ended up in debt that took me four years to pay off. Learning from our mistakes is one thing, but wanting to change is a complete other thing. I knew that my spending was a bad idea, but I wasn't ready to change…until I hit rock bottom and woke up one day and couldn't afford to pay my rent.
Choose how you want to spend your money. Be selective and narrow down your Want List to a couple of Must Have items. I used to spend my money on stuff that doesn't matter like clothes, candles, and other girly stuff. I would never wait for sales; I would just buy whatever I wanted regardless of the price. That was a huge mistake and now I rarely buy anything from food to hotel rooms unless it's on sale. I have learned to live with less stuff. Now I save my money and spend it a few times a year on trips. I wait until I have the money saved instead of buying it on credit and hoping to pay it off later.

B&W Quality Growers is the world's largest grower of watercress and one of America's oldest family farmers. We were engaged to help reposition the brand as the industry leader for baby leaves. We started by defining the name B&W Gourmet Farms and establishing them as champion of the "Distinctive Baby Leaves" category for foodservice and retail markets. The revitalized packaging is bolder and brighter with stronger brand identification, flavor messaging and an expanded viewing window. Nutritional messaging, a key component in the baby leaves sector, was emphasized through the development of the "Super Leaf" moniker and logomark. View project >

I am a newbie to this.
Who are the big named suppliers?
Where is the cheapest for bent grass?
Lesco will probably be your most convenient source. You won't see a lot of variety in prices because it's a specialty market. They have Penncross creeping bent listed for about $11 per lb. (that variety is the industry standard for northern areas) Any other turf supply business that caters to golf courses will have bentgrass seed.
Turfgrass, Inc. has a large selection of bent. 1 800-521-8873. They will put you in contact with the Rep. in Ohio.

I'm planning to travel from Manado to Palu by bus. I read in a travel guide book that it takes about 10 hours from Manado to Gorontalo, and 17 hours from Gorontalo to Palu.
I want to know how frequently the buses operate in each of these sections, and where we can get the bus tickets and where the bus terminal is in Manado.
Are there several options about middle range clean hotels? Nothing flashy just a clean, safe, hotel or guesthouse with a 15-25,00 euro per day price?Do hotels in Manado would let me bring in the room a friend girl if I meet any? Is there any good nightlife in Manado?
Thanks a lot

My wife and myself will be going to Manado in early June.
As a travel agency quoted us quite costly for 3 nights stay with half day sightseeing to Bunaken (we are not divers), 1 day to Minahasa and city tour as the package is only for two of us.
Can someone advise if we can move around on our own to those above mentioned places ? Or is there tourist group we can join so the cost is cheaper ?
Dear members,
Is there any other form of transport from Manado airport to the city center besides the metered taxis? I think the metered taxis will be exhorbitant.

Hi everyone,
Was wondering if anyone can help. How do I travel from Ujung Pandang/Makassar to Manado? Is flight my only option? I read somewhere that I can take boats too - where do I find more details? Thanks!
I have been thinking of going to the Manado area for diving and some simple beach quiet time. Recently a friend who has been travelling in Indo for several montsh recommended I should just go to Lombok, that Bunaken is not worth the travel hassle (from Bali). Any opinions?
I was really keen on Manado area as it seems less touristy, the diving is better, the beaches quieter, the prices more affordable.
Also rumor has it that Murex has closed. Anybody aware of that?
Finally another question: from reading forums, it seems that the beaches on Bunaken are not that nice, but that they are much better on Bangka, Gangga and Siladen. Nicer in terms of more swimming depth and nicer clean sand. Can anyone give any precision on this?
Does anyone know?
Someone provided the following info:
Bunaken/Manado Tua : 1 hour from Tasik Ria Resort by boat
Lembeh : 2.5 hours from Tasik Ria Resort by car
Popoh : 15 min from Tasik Ria Resort by boat
And I am looking for something similar for staying at Gangga
My husband and i are planning to be in Manado during the first week of October this year and i need the following advice. Keeping in mind that we are divers -
1. Where would be best for us to be be based - Bunaken, Lembeh or Manado?
2. Can anyone suggest any nice resort that they have stayed in? We do not mind small local resorts as long as they are clean and have good basic facilities. We want to go moderately cheap...not cheap dumps though :-)
3.Can anyone suggest any dive operators that they have dived with - all we want is well maintained equipment and if possible foreigner-owned joints.
Thank you in advance for the information!
Can anyone recommend a dive resort on Bunaken? I want to go diving there again but the place I stayed last time (MC Homestay) had bad food and bad service. They also tried to cheat us with the bill. I visited the other places on Pangasilang Beach and some looked OK, with bungalows of varying quality, but I would be interested to hear reports about places on Pantai Liang on the other side of Bunaken.
I will be visiting Manado in October to attend a wedding, and I need to get a suit made. Does anyone know of a cheap and reliable tailor in Manado, who can make me a jacket, trousers and shirt. Any ideas roughly how much this might cost, and how long it would take to make? Thanks, Steve.
Hi, We're leaving for Manado in a few weeks, July'05, and plan to stay there for six months. We're a couple and looking for long term accommodation somewhere in Manado-town. Has anyone stayed there on a long term basis, or know how we can go about finding a place for about 6 months? We haven't managed to find any information so far.. Also any info on where to stay when we get there, more budget-end than top-end, would help! thanks.
Hi, My girlfriend and i are planning a trip i august to North-Sulawesi. We only
have one month and plan to stay relatively long a few places and dive/relax.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Denmark, says don't go to Poso, and we don't plan to. But they also writes about a potential risk of getting kidnapped by Philipinese terrorists? What's your oppinion about that risk? They don't warn about the Philipines? The same oppinion is posted ont the foreign affairs departments of the US, Australis, Canada and so on. To me it seems a political issue?! Whats your oppinion?
Did anyone of you travel as a couple (man/woman)? I think about travelling in religious areas without being legally married, and do anyone had any issues as a woman traveller?
General travel advises, on the Bunaken, Manado, Lembeh areas is warmly welcome! :)
Hi all, I'm intending to spend a week, next March in Manado, and I want to know how are the beaches over there. I want to dive but my wife like more to stay on the beach... Any hint about resorts (not too expensive) and with a nice beach would be appreciated. Thanks Jorge
