Lawsuits over Bone Drugs in Addition to Fosamax Eligible to Join Multidistrict Litigation
Lawsuits brought against Merck & Co., the manufacturer of Fosamax, have been growing in number, with a few plaintiffs recently filing complaints after experiencing not one, but two broken femurs allegedly from taking the osteoporosis drug for an extended period of time.
Fosamax is not the only drug in the bisphosphonate class capable of causing harm. Two other brands, Reclast (manufactured by Novartis), and Boniva (manufactured by Genentech), have also caused similar injuries to women who have taken them to counteract the effects of osteoporosis.
On February 3, 2012, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) ordered that plaintiffs who experienced femur fractures allegedly from taking a bisphosphonate drug in addition to Fosamax were eligible to join the Fosamax multidistrict litigation (MDL 2243), which is currently underway in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The panel expanded the Fosamax litigation to include complaints brought by plaintiffs who took one or more of these drugs, alleging that the medication caused them to experience an atypical femur fracture as a result of long-term use.
The MDL was originally limited to lawsuits filed by individuals who took Fosamax. The JPML, however, was forced to reconsider this limitation after a plaintiff who took Fosamax, Boniva, and Reclast sustained femur fractures in her right and left legs filed a motion to include her lawsuit in the Fosamax MDL. In determining whether this lawsuit should be transferred, the JPML noted that because the side effects of Fosamax are similar to those experienced by individuals who take Boniva and Reclast, the lawsuits involve common questions of law and fact, which justify the cases being added to the centralized Fosamax MDL.
What is Multidistrict Litigation?
Multidistrict litigation is an option that allows for greater efficiency when handling numerous lawsuits by different plaintiffs against one defendant or a common group of defendants. Unlike a class action lawsuit, MDL does not distribute equal damages to all parties involved; instead, it consolidates pretrial disclosures and eliminates the possibility of inconsistent pretrial rulings by multiple judges. In effect, MDL speeds up the litigation process for all involved and gives plaintiffs the option to maintain their individual lawsuits and go to trial separately if they choose to do so.
RLG Advocates For Those Who Have Experienced a Femur Fracture
If you have been taking Fosamax or another bisphosphonate for an extended period of time, and have suffered a femur fracture, it could be because of the medication. You might be eligible for compensation by filing a lawsuit against Merck or another drug manufacturer. The lawyers at the Rottenstein Law Group can help. Our lawyers have over 25 years of collective experience advocating for clients in consumer product injury and mass tort cases.

Exia-from the word Orexia, the Greek word for appetite, is a story about the human hunger for blood, revenge, food, sex and love. Using the texts of Aeschylus' The Oresteia and Sophocles' Electra as a jumping off point, this is the untold story of Chrysothemis, the lost daughter in the house of Atreus. Exia uses a contemporary intimacy to explore the heightened, primal emotions central to ancient Greek drama.

Padma Lakshmi has a new Hardee's commercial. Padma recently filmed a rather sexual Hardee's commercial advertising the Hardee's Bacon Western Thickburger. In the commercial Lakshmi sits on an apartment stoop and shovels a burger down her throat, talking about her "love affair" with food. Didn't Paris Hilton film a sexually provocative Carl's Jr. commercial not too long back? What is it with these burger joints? Not to mention we doubt Paris OR Padma ever touch the stuff.
more photos after the hop…
We don't watch Top Chef, but learned when doing a little research on Padma that she was brought up a vegetarian. Hm. Great choice for a Bacon Western Thickurger spokesperson, Hardees! Personally, we hate how these unhealthy foods are glamourized. That burger probably has more fat and calories than one is supposed to consume in an entire week.

I think Hardees needs to rethink this ad. It's going to hurt them more in the long run. People are really tired of being treated as if we are such morons we will watch anything like a zombie or that we are all so sex starved we can get turned on by their stupid attempt at porn ads. I personally think the actress may be a beautiful woman, but she looks totally stupid making out with a burger. Hardees, get a clue and put on a decent commercial!

This is "again" is a dedgration of women with sexual explotitations that is offensive to me as a woman. I despise watching it, and share my disgust with my family and friends. If you need to sell a "hamburger" by demeaning women, I cannot support your product or your advertising agency. I have complained before and you did change the add. Why are you so desparate for $$$$, the crises our world., and a reflection of greed at all costs. Sex is not the vehicle for selling your product, unless you believe what you say about "a piece of meat". I am a woman and I am "more than a piece of meat". Those who can afford your product, are not the "wealthy". You play on the emotions of those who need to eat, often cannot choose. You have reached the "lowest of low" to sell a product. I totally resent your approach to being a suppiler of food for the hungry, which is affordable, but not to those who could appreciate your service. We need to feed those on low incomes, which your sevice provides, but not at the expense of women.
For that I am very saddened and sorry!

I am so sick of seeing this kind of stuff on t.v. I will not support Hardees any longer. It is appauling to be watching t.v. with your family and this crap comes on. Even if I didn't have children I don't want to see it. People that feel the need to see this can pay for it. I think it's terrible that sex is thrown in our face all the time. I would like to know how men would feel if they had to constantly see georgous men on t.v. all the time being sex objects and most the women on t.v. were unattractive. It's depressing, I'm an attractive woman but when watching t.v. with my husband I feel very insecure. Men don't seem to realize most the women on t.v. have plastic surgery, hair extentions, fake eyelashes, and personal trainers. Plus if I spent 5 hours or more in hair and makeup I bet you woudn't even recognize me. To say the least I'm completly ticked off and fed up with these kind of commertials.

I used to buy burgers from Hardee's but will not anymore. Their recent commercials are disgusting and disrespectful to women. They have the girl sitting on the stoop, skirt hiked up, slobbering over a burger, licking her fingers…..you know this woman does not eat these thickburgers, if she did she wouldn't look like that. Then they have the French maid commercials….very sexist….oh, then the one that I find most offensive…the guy who thinks it's funny that he has 3 girlfriends & has to have the word cheater taken off his car, which was spray painted by one of his many girlfriends, while he eats a burger……if this is what the male population aspries to, it is a sad society we have.

Theatrical review: The Lovely Bones
Coming straight from the afterlife we bring you this review for Peter Jackson's latest.
Certificate: 12A
Directors: Peter Jackson
Screenwriters: Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Phillipa Boyle
Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Stanley Tucci
Distributor: Paramount Pictures
Running Time: 135 mins
After the fiscal freedom Peter Jackson enjoyed with King Kong, he returns with this (comparatively) conservatively budgeted fantasy drama, an adaptation of Alice SeboldŌĆÖs bestselling novel about a murdered young girl, Susie Salmon, who watches over her family from the heavenly ŌĆśin between world.ŌĆÖ A character drama with stylistic flourishes rather than an epic CGI-fest, it proves that there is more to Jackson than Orcs and giant apes.
The biggest problem in adapting SeboldŌĆÖs debut novel is the portrayal of the ŌĆśin between worldŌĆÖ itself but it is a hurdle that Jackson and his team take in their strides. With a Dali-esque land of rolling hills and interchanging colours and shapes where dreams and subconscious emotions run rampant over the landscape, Jackson puts his FX skills to fantastic use. At a time where Cameron has been ŌĆśchanging the game/raising the barŌĆÖ it is refreshing to see a director for whom escapism and spectacle have been so high on the agenda in the past now placing his attentions firmly on character.
SeboldŌĆÖs novel was less about the event ŌĆō the murder, and rape, reference of which is omitted here ŌĆō and more about the affects it had on SusieŌĆÖs family and Jackson takes this same approach as her younger sister becomes the eldest sibling and her parents (Rachel Weisz and Mark Wahlberg) struggle to keep the family unit together. But the man who had ten hours to tell his Middle-earth tale struggles to fit it all in here; the focus is more on the family unit than individuals but some characters get left underdeveloped (WeiszŌĆÖs distraught mother especially) by this streamlining and with the killerŌĆÖs identity known from the outset, the third act move into thriller territory (no doubt a judgement made with cinematic considerations in mind) falls a little flat.
There are some terrific performances here, though, most notably Saoirse Ronan as Susie, Susan Sarandon as the perma-smoking and housework-unfriendly grandmother who moves in to help steady the Salmon ship, and Stanley Tucci as the creepy loner up the road whoŌĆÖs always got one eye on the neighbourhood children. JacksonŌĆÖs restraint (he does indulge himself a short background cameo mind) is admirable and effective too and his portrayal of grief and the ties that bind, while superbly performed and executed, is hampered only by a lack of narrative focus.
JacksonŌĆÖs return is emphatic, his fantasy family drama moving and visually beguiling, yet a more ruthless screenwriter might have focussed the journey more.

Dog Rescued From Crash In Murfreesboro
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – A dog is recovering after being rescued from a crash in Murfreesboro over the weekend.
Jack, a Jack Russell Terrier, was thrown into the front windshield when the car he was riding in hit a power pole along Franklin Road around 7:30 a.m. Sunday. Jack was found in the floorboard of the vehicle's front passenger side with lacerations and trauma to his head and unable to move his back legs.
Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue Department's Ladder 9 used extra precaution while removing him from the vehicle. He was then wrapped up in a warm coat, and taken to the 24-Hour Animal Medical Center on River Rock Boulevard.
Later in the day, Ladder 9's Captain/Shift Inspector Mark McCluskey called to check on Jack, and found that Jack had suffered a concussion but his bleeding was not due to internal injuries.
He was listed in serious, but stable condition.
The driver in the crash was unhurt.

Is there a biological basis of ego and anger?
Recent evidence from neurobiological research has shown that von Economo Neurons (VENs) in the frontol cortex of brain may be a seat of awareness, consciousness and self. Is it possible to extend this concept to ego and anger?
A small article http://www.nariphaltan.org/ego.pdf shows how it is possible.

Mitch SMith 100+Nov 1 2012: Thanks for the "heads-up" Theo. This is very useful.
I don't think the VENs are directly associated with anger.
For my model, anger has to have an evolutionary significance - therefore must be a response to anything that reduces the field of agency in an organism. E.G. if something tries to eat you, your potential agency will become suddenly narrowed - producing a requirement for instant assertion of whatever potential advantage remained = strongly selective behaviour in the win/lose context. This would extrapolate to any incursion on potential agency - e.g. people will fight for "freedom" if they get the opportunity (potential advantage).

Quite an interesting musing on liberalism and civilization.
Originally posted on The Charnel-House:
IMAGE: French revolutionary map
of the world, by I.B. Elwe (1792)
Excerpted from a draft for my long-delayed essay (almost a small book now) on the relationship of revolutionary Marxism to revolutionary liberalism.
It is difficult to even mention the concept of civilization without conjuring up images of Occidental hauteur. One is immediately reminded of the so-called "civilizing mission" undertaken by the great colonial powers of Europe. The word's origins, however, prove far more benign. Nevertheless, the timing of its emergence in history cannot be thought a mere coincidence. "Civilization" is an invention of the bourgeois epoch. According to the French semiotician Émile Benveniste, the term first appeared in print in a 1757 book by the Marquis de Mirabeau.[1] Though it derives more generally from the Latin civilis, denoting a higher degree of urbanity and legality, "civilization" in its modern sense dates only from the Enlightenment. In its post-1765…

If I may..
The person who sung that song was a boy. (A very young one at that, not even in middle school if I remember correctly. O_O) His voice really is amazing and when Blizz heard a little of his singing they quickly said "This is our guy."
You can see him/Blizz talking about him in the Wrath DvD thing (CE Edition) but you can probably find it on YouTube. Just look up "Wotlk CE DVD Music" or w/e.

The greatest home loan at lowest interest in Singapore
Home loans offer you chance to obtain residence with no need of possessing 100% cash in the particular bank account. The present mortgage interest rates in differ bank to be able to standard bank; picking up the greatest mortgage loan is crucial since it is a permanent financial debt. Lowest rates of interest variances can create a difference within the payout. Therefore, when you get a home loan, the first thing you should care is interest. And we are one of the best home loan services that can give you an affordable home loan package at lowest interest in Singapore.
We function right with the digesting divisions of banking institutions, so that your mortgage loan will get highly processed more quickly and more successfully. We might be capable of getting you best rates when compared with what%u2019s released since all of us recommend a top volume of clients to banking institutions. Many of us ensure you'll never discover far better charges anywhere else!
Here we provide you some kind of home loan packages that you might be suitable for you.
First kind of home loan is capital and interest mortgage. This is the standard mortgage package. Monthly payments are made towards paying both the interest and the principal. Each monthly payment is equal, so in the early years of the loan term, a larger portion of the monthly payments goes towards interest payments. And the principal payment portion gradually grows larger over the loan term. At the end of the loan term, the debt would have been fully repaid.
Another kind of home loan packages is fixed rate package. It offers a fixed interest rate for a certain period, after which it becomes a floating rate loan. Fixed rate loans also typically come with a lock-in period and early repayment penalties.
And cash back mortgage is also a kind of home loan. In a cash back loan, the lender gives a portion of the loan back to the borrower in cash. In such an arrangement, the borrower is typically tied to the loan for a certain lock-in period.
And for all, we always put it at lowest interest we can. We can easily give you the minimum industrial mortgage rates regarding competent consumers who're looking to acquire or even re-finance business residence countrywide. The main reason we can easily provide you with the lowest business prices is we have been approved to complete in-house underwriting for many in our investors and will quickly pre-approve or perhaps disqualify financial loans in line with the information accessible. It means that our home loan package is your best choice when you want to get one.

On chambersstudent.co.uk... How to get into Harbottle More on media, show business and entertainment
On chambersstudent.co.uk...
In 1951 in Guildford, a couple of showbiz enthusiasts met at law school. They were Harbottle and Lewis (Laurence and Brian respectively), and four years later they set up shop in Mayfair, specialising in the legal aspects of film and theatre production and representing dashing thespians like Laurence Olivier and Dirk Bogarde.
As we've morphed from the era of the matinee idol into the digital age, the firm has kept pace with the ever-evolving media and entertainment sector. Today its reputation management team deals with dodgy tweets and texts as well as what's published the traditional print way. A digital media team handles data protection, IP and privacy issues, while the interactive entertainment group specialises in video gaming.
Along with all the newfangled digital platform business, the firm has maintained its position in the theatre and film industries as well as taking in clients from the music, TV, publishing, broadcasting, sport, fashion and advertising sectors. Harbottle may have the media and entertainment arena mastered (as evidenced by top-notch Chambers UK rankings), but it isn't some one-trick legal pony. This is a full-service place that can sort out corporate, litigation, tax, employment, property, family and private client issues for its creative industry clients, and even has some more niche areas in its armoury, such as 'charity and philanthropy', 'entrepreneurs' and 'LGBT community'.
As you might expect, Harbottle has a whole host of household names on the books. To mention a few, there's Kate Moss, David and Victoria Beckham, the National Theatre, Sir Alex Ferguson, Microsoft and the publishing house Penguin. The firm recently represented cricketer Kevin Pietersen over a libel issue in which he was accused by national papers of match-fixing via text message. It was also involved in two massive 2012 privacy cases involving the Royal Family in various states of undress –acting for the Duchess of Cambridge regarding those photos of her sunbathing published in French magazine Closer and dealing with those other photos of Prince Harry cavorting in Las Vegas.
There are six seat options – litigation; corporate; employment; property; media; and family, private client and tax (all three in one seat) – as well as a client secondment at Virgin Atlantic.
No seat is strictly compulsory, although "you pretty much have to do litigation to get the contentious box ticked, and everyone does corporate because they need trainees." Before starting at the firm, future trainees put in a request for a top choice of seat. On arrival, their four seats are already mapped out: "You don't have so much choice about the other three seats, but they try their best to take your preference into account. If you have an issue with a particular seat, they're good about rearranging things."
Litigation is split between commercial work and the media and information group (MIG). The latter deals with privacy or defamation issues and is currently working on behalf of phone hacking victims. Commercial litigation might involve trainees "going on the weekly court run – I went before a Master a couple of times, which was pretty nerve-racking."
On top of this is the usual trainee fare of bundling and photocopying, but the chance to extract unpaid legal fees offers up a greater level of responsibility: "You get decent exposure to the nuts and bolts of litigation when you run debt management files by yourself." The department recently acted for one of the founders of Skype and his wife when their luxury coastal home was found to be defective. Litigators also represented Virgin Atlantic Airways in a dispute with its UK catering suppliers, Sky Chefs.
Trainees praised the "very friendly, quite young" corporate team, whose clients tend to come from the media sectors. For instance, the department advised Penguin Books on the acquisition of shares in Snowman Enterprises, the company which owns the rights to Raymond Briggs' famous character and brand. We'll have to move swiftly on, because even just softly humming the tune to 'Walking in the Air' makes us feel like weeping uncontrollably...
New recruits face up to "research, drafting ancillary documents and board minutes" as well as "company secretarial work – doing annual returns and looking at shares." One more lugubrious interviewee stated: "It's largely about document management and keeping the machine well-oiled. I did an awful lot of photocopying, a few verification tasks, due diligence and data rooms. That's the trainee's lot really – it's pretty standard stuff."
And now on to media, undoubtedly "the reason people apply to the firm and the seat that most have their eyes on." The seat is divided into two – there's theatre, film and television; or music, sport and IP. One interviewee told us: "I sat at the film and theatre end of it. It's very much a commercial seat, and I worked on all sorts of production deals, both big and small."
Trainees can expect to take on "first drafts of opinions or getting bibles together for film financing transactions. I also did a lot of ad hoc commercial research into relevant points of law that emerged, like the licensing regime theatres go through when hiring child actors." Along the way, trainees appreciated the partners' input: "They were keen to show me all the different stages of a financing."
Among others, Harbottle represents Universal, Working Title and DreamWorks, and recently advised Neal Street Productions on BBC fave Call The Midwife and Shakespeare series The Hollow Crown (featuring the Student Guide's actor of choice Ben Whishaw). Theatre-wise, the firm worked on the Broadway production of Breakfast at Tiffany's and new play The Audience, starring Helen Mirren as the Queen.
A contented source declared: "The high points were working on films like Steven Spielberg's Lincoln and helping with the War Horse film and play. That's what I wanted to do, those high-profile projects. The perks are also fun – I got to go to screenings and opening nights, although this doesn't happen very often." Interviewees also mentioned "mingling with celebrities" at the British Comedy Awards. The hours seem to be another bonus – "it's a lot more civilised than the City. The latest I've worked is 9pm, and that was completely voluntary!"
It's best to keep the jazz hands at bay. Despite the glitzy client list, all our sources warned potential trainees not to get any flashy delusions of life at Harbottle. "Don't apply to a media firm because you think it'll be glamorous or sexy. They're not interested in gossipy people who want to meet celebrities. They want intellectually capable people who have a clear interest in the business and legal side of media and entertainment." Many trainees had prior work experience or careers in creative industries, although this isn't strictly necessary. "The key thing is a proven interest."
What else characterises a Harbottle trainee? Aside from having attended "a really good uni" and being "proactive, outgoing and easygoing," the new recruits here are "nice – I know that sounds wishy-washy, but it's true. They don't want backstabbing people who try to get one over on each other."
Harbottle folk work in a "lovely building" in Hanover Square. "It's great to be so central with Soho just next door." The different departments are separated over five floors. However, everyone gets to mix together in the James Bond-themed kitchen, aka the notorious room 007, which is decorated with "Bond posters from the 60s and 70s, back when Harbottle worked on the films." The kitchen comestibles are "another massive perk – we get a free home-cooked lunch every day, and you can have as much as you like."
The firm's quiz nights are held in the kitchen, and there's a summer treasure hunt that involves the unusual sight of solicitors "running around the Oxford Circus area solving riddles" in a bid to win a day's holiday. "It's pretty entertaining and gets quite competitive." As well as this, there's a Christmas party and fairly regular Friday drinks.
When it comes to the serious business of qualification, sources felt "it's not as clear-cut and open as at other places. There isn't a jobs list.

EVER Bethie- I believe you when you say you are crying now.

Matthew Birt says:
Valentino Rossi has told Yamaha he wants to return to a factory YZR-M1 machine in 2013 with his current crew supporting him.
The Italian will end a dismal spell with Ducati at the end of 2012 after signing a two-year deal to re-join Yamaha next season.
As expected, Rossi has expressed a desire to Yamaha management to bring his entire technical crew,...

Not sure anyone at Ducati would mind the slightest that Rossi takes his useless mob with him. Hope Yamaha dont listen to that numpties development direction, as it appears Jorge and Yam are doing quite well on their own. So much for yamaha being out of sorts since the "development genius' left. HAHAHAHA ooooh burn!
Rossi + Ducati= biggest flop in motorcycle racing history.

Do they know that his super sensitive senses allows him to make the right choices for the bike's development. His debriefs is one of awe
Ummmm....for the last year and a half while the rest of us have all been following MotoGP, what the hell have you been watching!
"super sensitive senses"....if that's not a dead giveaway you're barely a teenager I dunno what is. Fuck am I not going to miss this type of "fan" when Rossi gives it away. No one is the history of the sport has attracted more braindead fuckwits to it than he has. That's one record no one is sure ever to break.

Rossi + aprillia + Honda + Yamaha = GOAT
So are all the Flo fangirls just gonna let the Ducati fiasco slide under the rug? hahaha atleast there are normal people in this world that wont forget that yellow numpties spectacular fall from grace!!
Heres a better representation of your hero:
Rossi+Aprilia+Honda+Yamaha+Ducati= blessed career on top machinery resulting in near god status in the eyes of the brainwashed, however when raw talent and adaptability was needed to tame the red beast, the yellow one actually, had little if any, therefore swiftly with tail between his legs, went back to a race winning bike to be Lorenzos bitch. Nice!
Again when the stats are raised the stonerites get a cold shudder and pick up on the one failer on an other wise illustrious career. Remember the doc had already held of challenges from the mighty moaning one and the rookie that was Lorenzo in 08 and 09 all after he had turned 27 which is the age your supposed to retire (quit)

Stoner runs him a very close second for fucko fans C&G..
Bagging a few wins at the end of the season when everyone else is thinking about their jollidays and gravel is still dropping out of your arsehole from FIVE earlier race crashes in the season, is hardly taming the beast?
Casey was still shitting breeze blocks at Honda with the amount of aggregate he swallowed during his final year on the Ducati.

Despite winning a few races in said years I believe 4th in the championship was where mr boner came not exactly god like status lol

You may be right .... MotoGP races at the end of the season are a known joke with nobody really trying very hard to win. Pity that Valentino didn't bother to take advatage of that fact last year, but no doubt he will pulll his finger out this year and prove he is worthy of the GOAT pedestal.
Still - zero wins in one-and-a-half seasons versus 23 wins in four seasons is a comparitive ratio of .... ummm ... Sorry - the calculator keeps overflowing when I try to divide by zero.
Casey's career at Ducati is over and his record stands the test of time far better than the twaddle that has been written about it. Why do people who are supposedly race fans try so desparately to trash one rider's accomplishments? Is it purely to justify the craven worship of their own personal Jesus?

Gamers, what a bunch of wankers.

Pogoplugs are great little storage devices, but they can do more than they let on. Let's take a look at how you can hack a Pogoplug into a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) web server.
Finally made up my mind and pulled the trigger on one of these Pogoplugs. With any luck I'll have it up and running as a Media Server by the end of next week.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Don't mix grain and grape.While reading the indispensable Mlbtraderumors.com, I jotted down notes from tidbits that for one reason or another jumped off the page. As they say on Tosh.O, enjoy:Reading the Tampa Bay Rays Offseason Review, got me thinking about which catcher the Rays will acquire via trade. This mlbtr post delves into it even deeper. It's clear the Rays need someone more than Jose Molina and some combination of Robinson Chirinos, Jose Lobaton, and Stephen Vogt.Free agents aren't much more appealing. Ivan Rodriguez could have been an option, but now it sounds like he may be headed to camp with the Royals, who need help since Salvador Perez will be out for about three or four month.The Rays should be more competitive than the upstart Kansas City Royals. Tampa has one of the best teams in baseball, and there's little excuse to be ill equipped at a vital position.Jose Molina and Desmond Jennings don't have much in common.L...

Was not overly impressed but I suppose I expected a lot more and it is a historic site to visit. It is located in a nice part of Ballyshannon - beside the Water wheel and the Holy Well all within walking distance.
Historical Mass Rock site where Catholic Priest's were murdered by English marauders during 12th & 13th Century. A 3 minute drive from town of Ballyshannon
These are caves where people used to say Mass during the Penal Times. They are a nice sight to see. There are a few of them to see. They are beside the abbey mill
This was a very simple yet impactful experience for my family and I, we are Catholics and it was very interesting to see where they practiced religion at a time when it was outlawed.
I visited here on Saturday 13th July. It's a short distance from The Abbey Mill. There is a path along a river surrounded by trees. It's an interesting visit and shows how faith was important to Roman Catholics in Penal Times and the lengths they went to, to participate in mass. You can still see the entry to the tunnel...
This was a wonderful little walk behind the Abbey along a babbling brooke. Very serene and beautiful. Plenty of parking as well as a small cafe on premises. No FEE to enter
Enjoyed the visit to the cave, mill, bridge and then down to votive tree and shrine. Beautiful scenery and a strong feeling of history. Thoroughly enjoyed!
You might be disappointed, a small cave with a dirt floor next to a babbling brook and surrounded by majestic trees but...if you feel the awe of a holy place and appreciate the sense of history from a place where local catholics celebrated Mass in secret with a travelling priest, strong in their faith yet denied the right to express...

For years, analysts and fans alike have been railing on the BCS system for not allowing in teams that aren't from major conferences. Boise State was long the poster child of the BCS system's prejudice towards the Alabama's, Florida's and Ohio State's of the college football world and their mathematical and systematical tight rope allowed in no outsiders.
Boise State eventually got in, but it was clear that they'd be the only ones. That's until Northern Illinois got through the tightest of loop holes in the BCS system and weaseled their way into a BCS Bowl game.
The Huskies won the MAC title on Saturday and needed to finish at No. 16 in the BCS or higher to somehow secure a BCS bid over other probably more deserving major conference schools ahead of them. But this comes with the territory and is the nature of the game, when Boise State was constantly getting screwed in favor of less deserving, the same outcry was had.
But that's where it gets annoyingly hypocritical, and ESPN talking head Kirk Herbstreit spearheaded said hypocrisy by losing his junk over NIU getting into a BCS Bowl over the like of Clemson, Georgia and Oklahoma.
On last night's bowl selection show, instead of the analysts breaking down how Northern Illinois making it into the BCS was a way of giving the middle finger to the BCS system and how stupid it is, the fireballs were launched at NIU and how having the Huskies in a BCS Bowl is, as Herbstreit said, "a joke" and reflects the "sad state of college football".
Here's what I don't get, for years we've been saying why doesn't the little guy get a chance and when said little guy gets a chance, it's as though the Huskies have beaten to death out mothers with aluminum soup cans whilst wearing Bugs Bunny suits. I was under the impression that ESPN analysts were on board with the notion that the BCS system is a joke.
Oh, that was before they became financially involved with them.
Obviously, the Huskies getting into a BCS Bowl game is going to be controversial but it further proves that the BCS is a stupid system, and those railing against the team rather than calling for a new system are missing the point.

Deputy Foreign Minister Evripidis Stylianidis has announced a new donation of €1.2 million and signed an agreement with WFP reinforcing Greece's increasing commitment to meet humanitarian needs around the globe.
The World Food Programme is profoundly grateful for Greece's growing commitment to the world's poorest and hungriest people
John Powell, WFP's Deputy Executive Director
Last year, Greek contributions to WFP reached an all-time high, with almost €3 million donated for emergency and protracted relief projects.
"Greece's role in the international community is growing, and with it, our obligation to help people less fortunate than ourselves. We are proud to join forces with organizations like the World Food Programme, which have a proven record in saving lives and fighting hunger," said Stylianidis.
"The World Food Programme is profoundly grateful for Greece's growing commitment to the world's poorest and hungriest people," said John Powell, WFP's Deputy Executive Director for Fundraising and Communications, as he signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Greece at WFP headquarters in Rome today.
This latest donation brings donations from Greece this year to a total of €1.8 million. The donations will assist some of WFP's most critical – yet poorly funded – operations in Guinea Bissau, Malawi and the Central African Republic.
In 2005, more than €2.5 million was donated to victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami in Indonesia, Somalia and Sri Lanka – in addition to almost €500,000 for Armenia, Djibouti, Georgia, Mali, Niger, and southern Africa.
Greek "Food Force"
The Deputy Minister also announced that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will sponsor a Greek version of 'Food Force', WFP's educational video game.
This ground-breaking game aims to engage students aged 8-13 in a virtual humanitarian emergency, with the aim to deliver food in time to save lives.
Since its launch in April 2005, the game has been downloaded nearly 4 million times, and translated into Chinese, Italian, French, Japanese and Polish.

LiveOverturned lorry causes traffic problems near Bridgwater
This live event has finished
- Lorry overturned at Dunball Roundabout on A38 Bristol Road.
- Expect delays leaving Bridgwater.
- Police have closed one lane of the dual carriageway
ROADS appear to be clear now around A38 Bristol Road and Dunball Roundabout.
MOTORWAY side of the roundabout is still blocked, expect delays still around the A38 Bristol Road.
CAROL Packer wrote on the Mercury Facebook page, she said: "Heavy traffic heading out of town towards Dunball as lorry overturned on roundabout, all emergency services on scene."
MOTORIST Mark Durrant said: "There was a lorry flipped on its side at the roundabout, it looks as if it took the roundabout too quickly and the weight of it has caused it to tip. The traffic is really bad."
POLICE have closed one lane on the A38 dual carriageway in Bridgwater after a lorry overturned at a roundabout.
The incident was reported at around 1.50pm this afternoon (Friday) when the lorry overturned on Bristol Road at the Dunball Roundabout.
Reports suggest no one has suffered severe injuries and a specialist team are en route to move the heavy vehicle.

Reuters reports that Ugandan and Seleka troops have clashed several times this week in eastern Central African Republic, leaving over a dozen Seleka soldiers and several Ugandan troops dead. The clashes have taken place near Nzako, a small mining town located in the CAR's Mbomou prefecture that has been a hotbed of LRA activity in the past year.
Executive Summary: Seasonal spike in LRA attacks, more defections in CAR
Résumé: Les cinq évolutions les plus importantes de la LRA en 2013
Today, Invisible Children and The Resolve released the 2013 LRA Crisis Tracker Security Brief. This annual report provides analysis on all data collected as part of the LRA Crisis Tracker, providing actionable intelligence for counter-LRA actors and valuable information for the public.
The report identifies five key findings from the 2013 data:
Link: Loosening Kony's Grip: Effective Defection Strategies for Today's LRA
Map contains 6 pages
New report: How to dismantle the LRA from the bottom-up
By Michael Poffenberger
We've long argued that Joseph Kony's leadership is central to the LRA's survival, and that a solution to the LRA's atrocity crimes is nearly inconceivable without dealing with him.
Executive Summary
Early 2013 shows cyclical uptick in attacks
The LRA committed 58 attacks between January and March 2013 (Quarter 1 of 2013, or Q1 2013), compared to 36 attacks between October and December 2012 (Q4 2012).
The increase in LRA attacks in early 2013 continues a trend seen in early 2012 and early 2011, in which the number of LRA attacks rose compared to the last three months of the previous year. Despite the rise in attacks, the LRA committed fewer abductions in early 2013 (69) than in late 2012 (111).
Posted by Cody Leblanc
A new report and video by the Enough Project and the Satellite Sentinel Project, co-produced by Invisible Children and The Resolve, confirms that the Lord's Resistance Army,or LRA, has turned to poaching elephants as a means to fund its atrocities.
A growing body of evidence indicates that from 2009 until at least early 2013 the Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebel group has periodically operated in the Kafia Kingi enclave, one of the disputed areas on the border between Sudan and South Sudan. The enclave is currently controlled by Sudan, and numerous eyewitness reports indicate that elements of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in Kafia Kingi have actively sheltered senior LRA commanders there and provided them with limited material support.
On March 21, we heard the great news that 28 women and children were released from LRA captivity. As the LRA Crisis Tracker reports, the group was actually escorted and purposefully let go by four LRA fighters near the town of Digba in Bas-Uele district of northern DRC. This is the largest return of long-term LRA members in at least three years, and is a truly encouraging achievement for efforts to incentivize LRA defections, which have been expanded in the past year.
Synthèse: 6 Tendances Principales dans l'Activité de la LRA
1.La violence de la LRA a grimpé au premier semestre de 2012 (191 attaques) et a graduellement diminuée dans la seconde moitié de l'année (84 attaques).
Cette tendance reflète celle des niveaux d'activité de la LRA observés en 2010 et 2011. Ces tendances ont été influencées par la disposition de la LRA à réduire les attaques pendant la saison des pluies, et indiquent que les civils sont à un risque accru de violence de la LRA dans les premiers mois de 2013.
Voir page 6 pour une analyse plus approfondie
The Brief provides the most comprehensive analysis of recent LRA activity publicly available, giving field workers, policymakers, and activists a tool to better understand the LRA conflict.
The Quarterly Security Brief provides a summary and analysis of the reported activities of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) from July-September 2012 (Q3 2012). This brief covers LRA activity in Central African Republic (CAR), Democratic Republic of Congo (Congo), South Sudan, and Sudan.

On December 14, 2009, a band of just a few dozen LRA fighters entered a small village in the Makombo area of Democratic Republic of Congo. They proceeded from house to house, killing or abducting anyone they encountered. Over the next four days, they repeated this tactic in at least nine additional villages, killing 321 people and abducting more than 250.
December 19, 2012 by Michael
The first time we ever heard from him, Fr. Benoit Kinalegu had an urgent message to share. On September 18, 2008, he wrote to sound an alarm over a wave of deadly LRA attacks against communities surrounding his town of Dungu in the remote northeastern area of Democratic Republic of Congo. Six communities had been simultaneously targeted by Kony's forces the day before. In one village, Fr. Benoit said, the LRA marched 50 schoolchildren from their classroom straight into the bush.

This week we are sharing three top stories from 2012. After much debate, they have been chosen by our team as the best demonstrations of our impact and shared as a token of thanks to our supporters.
Our first is a story that stands above the rest as a sign of hope for our work. Contributions from Resolve supporters enabled us to advance U.S. actions that helped a wave of LRA fighters and abductees escape from the group in 2012 — maybe even as many as the previous three years combined.
On Dec. 4th, the US Senate passed next year's defense authorizations bill after adding a new provision urging sustained commitment for efforts to help end LRA atrocities. The amendment was introduced by Senators Jim Inhofe (R-OK) and Chris Coons (D-DE), who chairs the Africa Subcommittee. It passed unanimously. The full text is below.

Sure, you could go out and drop $10,000 on a sport bike. But at the end of the day you'd be just another sap on what is otherwise referred to as a rice burner, a pejorative term that will probably get us a licking from a reader of two. Don't get us wrong, a $10k bike is a solid bike, and one that can propel you down the road at a neck breaking speed. But if you're looking for a bit more individualism, you're gonna have to pay.
The Confederate X132 Hellcat is a limited production motorcycle that oozes with small garage sensibility, yet boasts the quality often only found in larger brands. The Hellcat's billet aluminum case is machined from two blocks of billet 6061 aircraft grade aluminum, and fitted with what the company calls America's best V-Twin technology and America's superior power-train technology. Adding further allure to the setup are carbon fiber wheels and an almost floating rear wheel system. Nevertheless, the result is an "uncompromising approach" to craftsmanship.
The Confederate X132 Hellcat, named after the legendary F6F Hellcat fighter plane of WWII, can be preordered for $50,000 with delivery expected in January of next year.

Interview with "Skins" writer Jack Thorne
Naomi's episode is one of the few times in series three we get to see
Cook with a soul (after their failed shag). Why do you think he respects
Naomi like he does?
JT: I don't know. She looks at the world
quite similarly; she has that same f-ck it attitude.
AE: In
Skins world, there's sort of a heightened sense of uselessness and
absurdity when it comes to parents, but Naomi's mum is brilliant. Why
did you decide to go that route with her?
JT: I never
really wrote many parents. For me, Gina — who was one of the
characters I invented — is important because someone needs to
give Naomi permission to change, and she does.
AE: OK, cat
flap scene. Jack, everyone I have ever watched the cat flap scene with
has cried like a baby. It is so beautiful and poignant and layered and
perfect, perfect, perfect. Where in the hell did that come from?
I didn't want Emily to answer the door, and I had to work out
something visual. We had a cat when I was growing up. He'd spend most of
his life looking out of the clear plastic flap; he didn't like the
outside. I think that's true for both girls at that moment.
When you watched the episode, after having it only in your head for so
long, what did you think? Was it how you imagined it?
JT: Better.
Way better. Why? Performances. Locations. Direction.
What do you think Naomi loves most about Emily?
JT: I don't think
she knows — that's what makes it exciting.
AE: What
do you think Emily loves most about Naomi?
JT: Her fierceness?
Maybe? Are these things quantifiable? I think Emily
is really simple — she thinks Naomi is awesome. In fact, she
sees stuff in Naomi that Naomi doesn't see in herself.
Well, what do you love most about about Naomi and Emily?
They fit together in an unconventional way.
AE: What did you
think of Naomi and Emily's series four storyline?
JT: I thought
it was awesome. Ed [Hime] is a great writer. He got BAFTA nominated, you
AE: Do you like the idea that Naomi's been in love
with Emily since she was 12?
JT: Yes.
AE: Ed told us he
felt so much pressure writing Emily's series four episode after the
Naomily phenomenon took off. You probably didn't have that when you were
writing series three, but do you feel the pressure now that you're
writing/have written the movie?
JT: Writing the film is
one of the scariest things I've ever done — for many many reasons.
For example…
Name a good film that's come out of a TV show. Umm…?
What can you tell me about the Skins movie?
JT: Nothing.
AE: Nothing?
JT: Yup.
AE: Not even
one tiny little thing?
JT: Yup.
AE: C'mon! You
gave The Guardian three whole paragraphs! Just give me something!
AE: Ah well, it was worth a
try. I promised to try to crack you. I'm convinced it will be brilliant,
though. Lots of people have asked me if I'm worried and I always say,
"No. Jack Thorne is writing it." It's probably my most-Tweeted phrase. I
hope when the time is right, you'll speak to me again!
Of course. You'll probably get way more out of Bryan during your
lunch. He's nicer than me.
AE: While I have you here, asking
you one million questions, what's one interview
question you always wish you'd been asked, but no one's ever asked it?
JT: I haven't had enough interviews
yet. Maybe who my favorite writer is? Not that I have an answer to that
question. Probably Ronald Harwood, if you pushed me. What a terrible
question! Superhero skill? Nope. Um, I would like to do Desert Island
Discs before I die, but that's another matter entirely.
AE: Is there anything you'd like to say to
AfterEllen readers?
Other than "thank you"? You guys being so lovely about the episodes really made me
very happy indeed.
AE: Last question! Someone asked me the
other day, "Are you a professional writer or a Skins fangirl?"
And I said, "Why can't I be both?" So that's my question to you: Are you
a professional writer or a Skins fanboy? Or are you both?
I am a fanboy. Of Skins and TV generally. I watch a lot. I
write on the side.
AE: OK, well, I'll see you at the Skins
movie premiere, Jack Thorne. I'll buy you a pint — or ten.

To Everyone:
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.
He asked his audience "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up!
He said, "I am going to give this to one of you, but first, let me do this."
The speaker then proceeded to crumple the bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
The hands went up in the air!
He then replied, "What if I do this?", and he dropped the bill to the floor and started grinding it with his shoe. Now the bill was crumpled and dirty.
"Who still wants it?" he asked. Hands went in the air.
Smoothing out the bill, the speaker said:
"My friends, you all have learned a very valuable lesson just now. No matter
what I did to the money, you still wanted it, because it did not decrease in
value. It is still worth Twenty Dollars.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel that we are worthless, but…no matter what has happened or what will
happen, you will NEVER lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or creased,
you are still priceless to those who love you.
The worth of our lives come not in what we do, or who we know,
but by who we are.
You are special. Don't ever forget it.

text: Perhaps some time ago you could have asked me, "Do you think you might possibly become a person who takes pictures of duck fat?" Then I could have answered you, confidently, No. What sort of person takes pictures of any kind of fat? I might have asked you, What is duck fat for? And: Why would I ever be near a tub of it? I wouldn't have cared about a giant tub of perfectly creamy rendered duck fat sitting in my refrigerator. And just the thought of it resting there for months, concealing in its opaque depths, the color of french vanilla ice cream, salty pieces of confit duck legs, necks and wings, wouldn't have comforted me at all. So I'd have no reason to take it out once in a while just to admire it. But these days I do think about it and do look in on it sometimes. And so I'll take a picture of it now—just so I don't eat the whole thing today.

The Once Mighty (Teaser)
"Steve Rogers is the pinnacle of human perfection. An American superhero, saving the world from the stench of evil. When Steve begins to grow weary of saving others, he yearns to save himself but at the risk of endangering the world. Now Steve must not only discover who he truly is, but also how to save the world one last time."
So very very excited (and proud) to show you all the teaser for a film I helped write (and act) in with so many other guys (who all volunteered their time and talents); especially to Motke who's worked 100's of hours working on this pet film. Please spread the word and excitement (or whatever)
I can only hope you all will slightly understand the amount of gravity/awesomeness/elbow meat that this trailer contains. I have met both mOtke and Paul in person and can say without a doubt that they both smell terribly of seared pigmeats. So you know their film is going to be good.
