Amusement Parks
Keep Your Hands and Legs Inside the Ride At All Times Last winter my family and I had the opportunity to vacation to Orlando, Florida, where we spent several days enjoying the magic of the happiest place on earth and getting a glimpse of our planet's future after centuries of unchecked population growth. During that time I had the opportunity to spend many hours standing in long, serpentine lines waiting to enjoy something that lasts no more than a minute or so: the public restrooms. While waiting to ride on … Continue reading

History of Stroke
May is National Stroke Awareness Month, brought to you by the following sponsors: Richard Nixon, Ginger Rogers, Ted Williams, Robert Lewis Stevenson, Ray Bradbury, Joseph Cotton, Ava Gardner, Gerald Ford, Charles Dickens, Woodrow Wilson, Oscar Peterson, Dwight Eisenhower, Cary Grant, Warren G. Harding and Thomas Jefferson. These prominent people share one common characteristic: they all suffered strokes. The truly interesting thing about this short list is that is represents only a small fraction of the famous and noteworthy people who have suffered strokes at some time in their lives.

Dr. Eric Van De Graaff, Cardiologist at Alegent Health Clinic Heart and Vascular Specialists, wrote a very poignant article in defense of statins. His timing was perfect. It's almost as if he knew the Archives of Internal Medicine's June 28th article was going to be published. You will be hearing a lot about this article: Statins and All-Cause Mortality in High-Risk Primary Prevention. The argument the study makes is that there may be little benefit in primary prevention patients to justify using statin medicines to lower your cholesterol level. (Primary … Continue reading

The Short End of the Stick
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. As if it weren't bad enough already that you spent your school years being picked dead last for basketball teams and that you always had to crane your neck upward to look into the eyes of your prom dance partner, or that you had to put up with that diabolically catchy Short People song getting stuck in your head, the world now comes along and deals one more injustice to those of you who of challenged vertical stature. Just last … Continue reading

Thank you for your kind comments. The boat was a lot of fun to build and has been great fun to row on the lake. I'm not through with the sail rig yet but I look forward to sailing it this coming summer.

SLAPPY CAKES New Maui Restaurant Review
by Jen Russo
write the author
September 12, 2013 | 01:09 PM
Slappy Cakes is the kind of place where you come to play with food but end up enjoying a serious gastro adventure. It stems from the place mixing ready-to-order menu options with pour-your-own pancakes. Though owner/founder Adam Fuderer says it might be more than that.
"Our favorite restaurants to eat at have always been either brunch places or interactive dining like fondue, Korean BBQ, etc.," says Fuderer. "We just had an Aha! moment one day and decided to merge the two ideas. We wanted to focus on fun so every decision was made with that in mind, how to minimize confusion and create an easy and fun guest experience. The first Slappy Cakes opened in October 2009 in Portland [Oregon]."
Fast forward to 2013: there are now Slappy Cakes in Manila, Tokyo, Singapore and Maui as well. Tokyo averages more than an hour wait for a table, and Portland's pancake popularity is still rising. But their newest location is right here, in the Honokowai Marketplace at the former WM and Pacific Cafe location.
The restaurant is sprawling with booths featuring a Slappy Cakes Panasonic griddle mounted in the middle of the table. It's a special griddle that was made in Japan just for Slappy Cakes and it never seems to burn a pancake. The dining room also sports large paintings of pancake toppings and hotcakes stacks with butter and syrup, for both inspiration and enticement.

It goes without saying that you must try the pancakes. It's the only cook-your-own option on the menu, but there are oodles of different combinations, both sweet and savory. For batters, they have basic buttermilk, gluten-free and vegan, Okinawan sweet potato, chocolate and a whole grain. So far, I've tried the buttermilk, gluten free/vegan, sweet potato and chocolate, and all are tasty.
The menu makes it easy: first you pick a batter, choose some fillings and then get your toppings like lavender honey or coconut peanut butter. They have a list of recommended combinations for the indecisive and unadventurous. If you're opposed to making your own food, Slappy Cakes Chef Andy McCoy will serve you any pancake combination, as well as a host of other specialties.
As far as toppings and mix-ins are concerned, this is where you spread your pancake wings. Here's my tip: bring some kids along to do the cooking for you. They are psyched on it, especially when the little carafes of chocolate chips start showing up. You can stick to healthier options like bananas, blueberries, mango and papaya, but there's nothing like putting chocolate chips into your pancake batter. For more adventurous types, you can try savory stuff like scallions and bleu cheese.
"When we first developed our batter we wanted something that was more neutral (less sweet) than traditional pancake batter so the fixin's can really stand out and guests can decide exactly how they want their pancakes to taste," says Fuderer. "Also, our batter is a little thinner than most restaurants. We wanted our batter to have a homemade taste and be reminiscent of what mom used to make. It didn't take very long to develop our first batters but to this day we are still testing and making new batters all the time."
During a recent visit, our server Nicole was really patient while explaining the menu and listening to the kids' requests and somehow keeping track of it all. What's more, she never let my cocktail run dry, which is always critical when dining with children.
We wrote our names in pancake batter, made rings to stack on a plate with toppings in the hole and even created Japanimation cartoon characters, which big in our household. We consumed every drop of batter in our squeeze bottles, and what we couldn't finish came home with us in a box.
They also have a lot of Southern brunch favorites like delectable sausage gravy poured over fluffy homemade biscuits and country fried steak, but they've assimilated a few popular local inspired breakfast dishes: loco moco with red pepper sauce, Ahi Benedict and the mushroom scramble with Portuguese sausage and local goat cheese.
Their creativity really shines in the chicken fried bacon and the Veggie Benedict. Both feature their mouthwatering batter. The chicken fried bacon is light and extra crispy and drizzled with house-made apple caramel sauce. The deep-fried seasonal veggies with Hollandaise and poached eggs is a savory answer to rich vegetarian breakfast fare.
"Our food has a heavy Southern influence throughout, so we thought it would be fun to reinterpret classic Hawaiian breakfast dishes with a 'Slappy' twist," says Fuderer. "Some of our most popular Hawaiian dishes are the Slappy Moco (not what you are expecting) and the Banana Bread French Toast, which is served with our signature macadamia nut candied bacon. From the beginning we knew that we wanted Slappy Cakes to be for everyone, not just children. With this in mind we always knew that we wanted to have a serious bar with awesome drinks. We think that having our breakfast cocktails as an option is a key part of the Slappy Cakes experience."
I got more slap happy after a thorough review of the cocktail list, where their version of the Mai Tai, called the Rum for Breakfast, incorporates mango rum, lemon, maple and egg white for a frothy adult smoothie-like cocktail. But their house Bloody Mary is by far the most popular way to quench away your breakfast and brunch thirstit's a solid pint of classic Bloody with a cucumber vodka and garnishes. And the Slappy Screw is an inventive screwdriver with a cinnamon sugar rum that I couldn't stop sipping. I never thought cinnamon and OJ would be a good mix, but it reminded me of a Harvey Wallbanger. They also have a tour of mimosas and non-alcoholic drinks like the Kiddie Kremescicle. There's also Maui Oma Coffee and Harney and Sons tea.
I can see why Japan loves Slappy Cakes. With okonomiyaki and shabu shabu, their culinary traditions are more refined in the interactive genre. My family took to it quit quickly, and I've been back to try different batters and other dishes. It's one of the only times my kids weren't done eating before me, and they had something to keep them busy while I leisurely grazed on their creations. But I think next I'll take a group of adults the next time to see if they can do better.

For some reason I can't fathom, I never have all six sprayers working in my window washer. I can only assume there is a clog occuring, but the nozzles are so small, I can't imagine why. Any ideas?

Ditto. My car went from six to four, then three, and now, with 21K miles, only two work, and the one on the passenger side barely makes it to the windshield. An inspection of the nozzles on the outside reveal nothing wrong, so it must be internal. I have not seen others mention this in past threads, so it may not be a widely felt issue.
2011 Juke SV - AWD CVT Chrome Silver w/Nav package & fog lights
This happened all the time with on my Chrysler 300, it is easily fixed. Just disconnect the hose leading to the spray jets and blow compressed air through them. I never figured out if it was dirt or if the additive was drying up and clogging them. It usually happened after a cold night that produced frost.

Wait - there are 6 sprayers? Does it actually look like 6 different sprayers when you use them?
I've had my Juke for two weeks now and it seems like I only get the same two nozzles working when I use that function - they go about 5 or 6 inches up the windshield.
I'm assuming that's not working properly?
Yeah there's 6 sprayers so your's not working properly
driving 2012 Juke DIG-T 4x4 M-CVT in Finland
Yes, there are six sprayers, three per nozzle. The last time I had all 6 working was around the time I got the car in Oct 2010....
2011 Juke SV - AWD CVT Chrome Silver w/Nav package & fog lights
Take your Juke back to the Dealer where you purchased it and have them replace the windshield washer nozzle under warranty. I just had the washer nozzle replaced on the drivers side under warranty.
I had a similar problem all of my front washers ( there are 5 on mine 2 on one side and 3 on the other) were clogged, took it to the dealer and it was a 5 min fix for him. the nozzle assemblies actually pop off very easily with a flat head screw driver disconnected them from the hoses ( make sure you clamp the hose so you down lose it into the cavity)and used a high pressure air gun on the outside end of each nozzle he cleared them all out for me.
he informed me that this is a common issue he has seen for those of us who take our Jukes through automatic car washes. That they just spray the wax everywhere and it or doesn't take much wax to clog those nozzles. He recommended that if i insist on using those car washes to either cover the windshield washers with some kind of tape prior to going through, or use them immediately after the waxing process to flush them out.
hope this helps
What about those of us that don't use the automatic washes? My thought for a BRAND NEW vehicle (of any make/model) would be the possibility of debris from the manufacturing processes somehow getting into the washer fluid tank and eventually plugging the nozzles. This is not to discredit the idea that the wax does get sprayed absolutely everywhere and could easily plug a nozzle...
Current Ride: 2012 Juke SL AWD in Metallic Bronze with the black and red leather seats.
Current Mods: LED replacements front to back, K-Powered IC Hardpipes, rear muffler delete.
Manufacturing debris is a possibility, when he cleared mine it was a bunch of black junk they came out. The reason i mentioned the car wash is because he seems to credit that with the most common cause of this problem. Needless to say the original plan for me was to have all my nozzles warranty replaced but that takes time to get the parts, time i would rather not spending on the road with in-op window washers so he tried the method above to fix it. I thought I would mention it for those forum users who have this issue and wanted to try a quick fix.

Synopsis: Moderate: samba and cifs-utils security and bug fix update Issue Date: 2011-08-29 CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-1678 CVE-2011-2522 CVE-2011-2694 CVE-2011-2724 Samba is a suite of programs used by machines to share files, printers, and other information. The cifs-utils package contains utilities for mounting and managing CIFS (Common Internet File System) shares. A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the password change page of the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). If a remote attacker could trick a user, who was logged into the SWAT interface, into visiting a specially-crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the user's SWAT session. (CVE-2011-2694) It was found that SWAT web pages did not protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. If a remote attacker could trick a user, who was logged into the SWAT interface, into visiting a specially-crafted URL, the attacker could perform Samba configuration changes with the privileges of the logged in user. (CVE-2011-2522) It was found that the fix for CVE-2010-0547, provided in the cifs-utils package included in the GA release of Scientific Linux 6, was incomplete. The mount.cifs tool did not properly handle share or directory names containing a newline character, allowing a local attacker to corrupt the mtab (mounted file systems table) file via a specially-crafted CIFS share mount request, if mount.cifs had the setuid bit set. (CVE-2011-2724) It was found that the mount.cifs tool did not handle certain errors correctly when updating the mtab file. If mount.cifs had the setuid bit set, a local attacker could corrupt the mtab file by setting a small file size limit before running mount.cifs. (CVE-2011-1678) Note: mount.cifs from the cifs-utils package distributed by Scientific Linux does not have the setuid bit set. We recommend that administrators do not manually set the setuid bit for mount.cifs. This update also fixes the following bug: * If plain text passwords were used ("encrypt passwords = no" in "/etc/samba/smb.conf"), Samba clients running the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating system may not have been able to access Samba shares after installing the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS11-043. This update corrects this issue, allowing such clients to use plain text passwords to access Samba shares. Users of samba and cifs-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. After installing this update, the smb service will be restarted automatically. SL6: i386 cifs-utils-4.8.1-2.el6_1.2.i686.rpm samba-winbind-krb5-locator-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-winbind-devel-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-winbind-clients-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-winbind-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-swat-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-domainjoin-gui-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-doc-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-debuginfo-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm cifs-utils-debuginfo-4.8.1-2.el6_1.2.i686.rpm libsmbclient-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm libsmbclient-devel-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-client-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-common-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm x86_64 samba-debuginfo-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm samba-doc-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm samba-domainjoin-gui-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm samba-swat-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm samba-winbind-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm samba-winbind-clients-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-winbind-clients-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm samba-winbind-devel-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-winbind-devel-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm samba-debuginfo-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-common-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm cifs-utils-4.8.1-2.el6_1.2.x86_64.rpm cifs-utils-debuginfo-4.8.1-2.el6_1.2.x86_64.rpm libsmbclient-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm libsmbclient-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm libsmbclient-devel-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm libsmbclient-devel-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm samba-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm samba-client-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm samba-common-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.i686.rpm samba-winbind-krb5-locator-3.5.6-86.el6_1.4.x86_64.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team

Railroad Settles Age Discrimination Lawsuit For $95,000
Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company ("BNSF") pays $95,000 to settle an age discrimination lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") on behalf of two made ages 55 and 43. According to the lawsuit Jimmy Rider and Randy Aultman were not hired because of their age. Anyone who is over 40 is a member of a protected class and afforded protections based on age.
Because of the economy many employers are seeking out younger workers and cutting corners when it comes to following the law. Age Discrimination is real and seems to be on the rise as the country has a worker aged work force. It is very important to protect your rights and contact an attorney if you believe you are subject to discrimination.
"It is vitally important, especially given the current economic climate, to protect members of our work force from discrimination based on characteristics that have no correlation with job performance, such as age," said EEOC Attorney Barbara Seely.

New funding for districts held hostage by larger debate over education reform
New funding for districts held hostage by larger debate over education reform
Thursday, April 12, 2012
Legislators and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy may agree that an education overhaul package will include a $40 million bump in funding for districts that make necessary reforms. But the governor warned municipal leaders from the lowest-achieving districts Thursday not to count on that money.
He will not sign the bill pending before the legislature that stripped many of his initiatives, even though it still includes the new funding.
"They should not be depending on this money," said Malloy, flanked at the state Capitol by a bipartisan group of 22 mayors and first selectmen from the lowest-performing districts. "I think this money is very much in the lurch until we have an educational bill that we can agree on."
And the administration has had no formal meetings with the teachers' unions since the Education and Appropriations committees downgraded his proposals weeks ago. Many legislators are hesitant to sign off on an overhaul that the unions vehemently oppose.
The dropped initiatives include tying teacher evaluations to tenure and salary decisions, and giving the education commissioner the authority to bypass union contracts in the state's 25 worst performing schools.
Several mayors said they hope lawmakers can get past this impasse and get a bill passed that sends them additional money.
"We would greatly benefit from those funds, but I could not in good conscience include that in our budget," New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said after meeting with Malloy and the other municipal leaders. "Yesterday would have been a good time to know if we were getting that money."
As in President Obama's Race to the Top, the money, in this case $40 million, is being offered to those districts willing to make certain reforms.
"This has broad support," said House Majority Leader J. Brendan Sharkey D-Hamden. "We're not just going to just write a blank check [to school districts] and say 'Go at it.'"
The state currently spends more than $2.8 billion a year on education, which is almost 15 percent of the state's budget. The money is awarded regardless of what kind of reforms districts make or the results they achieve. Funding is based on a predetermined formula, and high-need districts receive grants to pay for specific programs.
The education overhaul plan, the administration and legislators agree, will have $40 million for the 30 lowest-performing districts to apply for. Some of the reforms that could land Bridgeport, for example, with an additional $4.4 million next school year include extended school days or promoting teachers based on their performance evaluations. The education commissioner and the State Board of Education would determine if the plan is bold enough to warrant new funding.
"I have more failing schools than anyone in that room. ... We need to create schools that are more accountable," said Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch.
He and several other mayors think that tying new state funding to promised reforms makes sense.
"It's a great start," Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra said of the $4.8 million in new funding his schools may get. "We will definitely be applying. ... We aren't counting on it though."
If the Democratic-controlled legislature and Malloy work out their major differences on teacher tenure and state limiting collective bargaining in the worst schools, then both sides acknowledge the $40 million will be included in the final bill.
"It looks promising for them," said Commissioner Stefan Pryor of these low-achieving districts. "This is a critical component of a much larger education package."
Rep. Andy Fleischmann, D-West Hartford, co-chairman of the Education Committee, agreed with the governor that towns should not bank on this money because an agreement is still a long way off and only four weeks remain before the legislative session adjourns.
"If I was the [budget chief] for these districts, I would have a backup plan in case nothing happens," he said. "We all want to make sure the money is there that these districts need... This is good education policy."

Health board fined after nurse attacked by patient
Lothian Health Board has been fined £32,000 after admitting to safety failings that led to a nurse being attacked while making a home visit to a patient with mental health issues.
The experienced 55-year-old community psychiatric nurse was visiting a 58-year-old female patient in the East Lothian area who had been suffering from mental illnesses for more than 30 years when the attack happened.
The nurse was forced to the floor, threatened and had her hair pulled so violently that several clumps were ripped out.
Since the incident in March 2009 she has been apprehensive about undertaking home visits and has experienced flashbacks, Haddington Sheriff Court was told.
The case was brought after an investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found there were no risk assessments in place for community health workers dealing with violence or aggression, or for working alone in clients' homes.
NHS Lothian also failed to provide adequate training and supervision for this type of work, and failed to provide a safe system of working for home visits to psychiatric patients.
The court heard that it took eight months for the incident to be reported to the HSE, despite the law stipulating that such serious events must be reported within 10 days of them taking place.
Lothian Health Board pleaded guilty to a breach of Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and of Regulation 3 of the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995.

No risk assessments, training supervision and a cover up. Disgraceful.
How many other Trusts could this happen in?Probably most, Roger.
They send you on conflict resolution training and that's it.
£32k? a drop in the ocean! It should have been a much bigger fine to really ram the message home.
I am shocked that yet another employee has suffered detriment at the hands of NHS Lothian. I hope this nurse gets all the support that she needs to make a full recovery.
I raised valid concerns about breaches in Health & Safety in NHS Lothian 12 years ago. response; I was subjected to bullying & intimidation. When I refused to be silenced an Independent Investigation was commissioned to do what the employer should have been able to do.
It took 7 months from announcement to outcome and caused excessive stress to all involved
My concerns were full vindicated, stating among other things that what I was requesting was no more than what should be provided in law by the employer according the H&S at Work Act 1975.
However, I did not know this until 11 months later, as the report was suppressed and interviewees were given a redacted version that omitted the points that validated my concerns.
Following the outcome I was subjected
to increased bullying & intimidation, and suspended from my Specialist Practitioner Nurse post 2 weeks later.
I resigned and claimed constructive dismissal at Employment Tribunal. Only by doing so did I discover the unaltered independent investigation report (paid for out of the public purse).
Shortly before the ET hearing, the respondent (NHS Lothian) provided an apology and financial pay-out with gagging clause. So, I settled out of court.
Respondent's apology stated that management would learn from the situation. Sadly, nothing was learned because NHS Lothian is not yet a Learning Organization and has continued to cover up and squander health-care funds on all sorts of pay-outs as your press story demonstrates.
There is no accountability and until there is health-care will suffer.In my 5:09 PM comment I forgot to say that the RCN officer who claimed to be representing me colluded with management in suppressing the real outcome of the Independent Investigation.
I have since met several colleagues who were treated similarly by their nursing and medical so called union reps.
This has to stop.
The Nursing Times "Speak out Safely Campaign is helping health-care professionals to go public on these serious concerns.
The recently formed Patients First campaign is also working hard to reduce death and avoidable harm in the NHS and can be contacted at web site;
Patients First in Scotland can be contacted by email; firstname.lastname@example.com week a social therapist and young mother was murdered by a prisoner. Her body was found in the woods outside Geneva near a hippo therapy centre (riding) where she was accompanying a prisoner from a high security prison where he was imprisoned for 20 years for two previous serious crimes against women.
The prisoner has been traced as far as a place outside Basel where the tracker dogs lost his scent on a railway line. Basel lies in close proximity to the French and German borders.
This raises a lot of very serious questions on the safety of healthcare staff and why they are left to work alone with such patients (now suspended pending further enquiry after this incident). It also raises issues about public safety as out in public places, on public transport, in social housing or even in hotels one has no idea who one's fellow passengers or neighbours might be.
On a more personal, emotional and sensitive level, why is this and other aggressive crimes such as the one in the article allowed to happen so frequently to those who are performing a public service for the health and well being of others?I had been attacked violently by a patient drop me to the floor, kicked me like a football. Thanks to my colleagues who helped me that day. From the incident, I am suffering back pain. No body seem to care about my injuries.
This is NHS for youAnonymous | 16-Sep-2013 5:45 pm
some of us do care and are sad that this is allowed to happen as it can happen to anybody and the NHS should have preventative measures in place, especially in high risk areas, as well as providing support and compensation for their staff. I cannot imagine why this is not taken for granted in an organisation which is all about healthcare. It is hard to understand how some people can behave as such animals and wish harm to a fellow human being or any other living creature.
one can only say that it was perhaps fortunate you were not entirely alone with the patient and help was at hand otherwise they may have just carried on.
The time has now come for every nurse and every student to learn effective strategies to try and prevent aggression and how best to deal with it when it happens even though it will not work in every case.from Anonymous | 15-Sep-2013 8:24 am
further to my comment above, the murder of the social therapist outside Geneva took place last Thursday and the murderer was at large until Sunday afternoon when he was caught via Interpol over 1000 km away north of Berlin by the German Polish border. He had escaped in the same car the therapist had used to drive him to his therapy session and a large knife presumed to be the murder weapon was found with him.
Laws differ in each canton in Switzerland and following this event there is now pressure from politicians for reforms to these laws.

I'll stick with the first 2 films, but this 3rd one? BLEH. It was just incredibly cheesy and wasn't anything like the first 2. Oh, and how can you replace Rachel Weisz!?! BIG mistake there! :-(

"The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is the best "The Mummy" series all the time. Rachel Weisz was originally role of Evelyn Carnahan, but director Rob Cohen, says you're fired. Brendan Fraser, Jet Li and Maria Bello are the best.

I'm so excited to watch this movie. When i saw the trailer I'm so interested to know what the story will goes. I have follow the movie closely. As I watch the movie I'm disappointed when I've found that Rachel Weisz is not the one who will play the wife of Brendan Fraser. OOOoooooooo..... I wish Rachel Weisz is included in the movie..... huh huh huh huh.....

Prompt 10 – Wisdom. What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out?
Giving up my third job was the wisest decision I made. Although I liked my workmates and my office, I wasn't learning anything and it wasn't very lucrative. My family needed me at home more. It worked out beautifully. I like my home to be an oasis of order and calm hahahaha a girl can dream! The Spousal Unit is worrying less, and Noddie may possibly be less cranky and argumentative. It's difficult to tell.

He-Tin-Kis park is a far away place from DORSET. However, there is some Dorset Families sweat and blood in the building of the park in the Summer of 1971. The park is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island in the town of UCLUELET, British Columbia, Canada. Brian W ZELLEY, great grandson of Weymouth born William J S ZELLEY, was one of the crew of University students and Ucluelet High School kids to build the park. It was a project under the Canadian Federal Government's "Opportunities For Youth" program. Today, if you search for the name "He-Tin-Kis", it is primarily shown under walking trails or west coast sites. At the completion of the park in August 1971, there was a name dedication and tour of the park. After 30 plus years, the original signs have long since been replaced. Ay one time, the names of seven persons involved from beginning to end were included in a hugh sign in the parking lot area. But, sadly it appears this dedication has long been forgotten.

Film Review: The Sweeney
The Sweeney, directed by Nick Love, 2012, 112 minutes.
British crime dramas are often well done, but that is not the case with this movie knockoff of a popular 1970s television series about an elite London police squad. This is one of the most unintentionally (I think) silly films I have seen in a while. Americans often have trouble understanding lower-class Brit accents, but I was able to decipher the speech of most of the characters. But not the surly, mumbling Cockney slang of the lead, Ray Winstone, supposed head of the elite "flying squad." Aging and big-bellied, he engages in numerous unlikely physical fights and has a ludicrously improbable affair with the gorgeous Hayley Atwell. Even worse, purportedly a top veteran head of the top squad of a respected police force, he goes off repeatedly on reckless, irresponsible tangents that usually end in failure.
It is well known that the British police operate with severe firearm restrictions. In this film it is never made clear what those are. At times the Sweeneys seem to have pistols, at other times they are chasing down heavily armed felons with baseball bats, non-issue equipment. In most cases an officer with a pistol could quickly and easily subdue the felon without firing a shot. Instead we are treated to ridiculous foot races. car chases, and gunfights across London with unbelievable collateral damage, and that usually fail to "nick" the suspect. Clearly the multicultural New Britain is no longer the society that can function with Bobbies armed only with nightsticks.
On the positive side, the newcomer Ben Drew does a good job as the troubled young officer swept up in Winstone's capers. And, of course, political correctness is de rigueur. Drew inexplicably has an eight-year old black child, though he is too young for that and has a pregnant white girlfriend. And, it hardly needs mentioning, the irredeemably ruthless villains are Serbian.

Dr. Wilson, this may be off topic but have you read the new book the searchers by glen frankel and if you have what are your thoughts about it?
Thank you, Professor Wilson. I look forward to more of your film reviews.
As we begin ramping up for war in Syria, the public will need to be reminded of how bad the Serbs really are. General Wesley Clark is crowing in the NY Times about how successful the operation in Kosovo was in 1999 and how analogous the situation is with Syria. President Clinton is "urging" intervention, called out Barack Obama and warning him not be a "wuss." Republicans like John McCain and your home state Senator Lindsey Graham are on board with setting up no-fly zones. Liberal interventionists are crowing about "doing something" to stop the violence by sending arms while neoconservatives talk of stopping Russian influence in the Middle East...and bring those terrible twins of "liberty" and "democracy" to an oppressed people.
The only problem is that the public seems to be quite skeptical...for now. A few reminders of Serbian villainy, a few more appearances by Christiane Amanpour...and we'll have ourselves another "splendid little war" in the Middle East, this time in alliance with Al Kaida!
Mr. Johnson, I am not familiar with the book. Tell me more.
Dr. Wilson, I myself haven't read the book but heard it is about the making of the 1956 john ford film starring john wayne . I suppose the author wants to tell us about "racism" and "hatred" of anglo-saxon america.
Thank you, Dr. Wilson. Always good to read your thoughts and also saves me from wasting time and money on rotten, knock-off, Brit stuff when I could be watching their real genius at work in the old re-runs of Sherlock Holmes.
The only thing our elders in culture have left these days is their accent. I once enjoyed even that before some of them came over here and started using it to praise decadence and tell lies like that poor fool, Piers Morgan, who attempts to dignify American foolishness and political correctness by simply repeating it with a British accent.
Brits, Australians, and Canadians outnumber Americans as high end movie and tv actors and often play Americans, presumably better than Americans can.
"Brits, Australians, and Canadians outnumber Americans as high end movie and tv actors and often play Americans"
Well that's too bad and certainly nothing to be very proud of given the poor quality of film today ...... at least for Brits, Australians and Candians.
And who in your opinion would be the main producers for these poor films?
Thank you, Tom. I remember your trip a few years back now that I think of it. I have only visited West Stow, Bury-St Edmonds--New Market area. They still have a robust Belloc society near Sussex and still walk the pubs the cantankerous one so often frequented. I sometimes become too cynical which I is why I so appreciate and enjoy your sober friendship and fraternal correction from time to time. Pax
I'll corroborate Dr. Fleming's observations and say that I've always found English folks born before 1980 in England to be quite charming, as well, and certainly more civilized than my American elders. As for English of my own generation, I cannot say such kind words (there is one notable exception I can think of off the top of my head, and given his phenotype and surname I am fairly sure his family is of Middle Eastern Christian origin), though it is true that I have scarcely met any of them that weren't in or living in London. On the other hand, it is true that London tends to such away a great deal of young talent in the country, and some of the aforementioned WERE from other corners of the country. That one decent fellow I just described, by the way, tends to run around in the very large Franco-Londonian expat community.
I can see why England would be a good choice for a real human being in middle age or starting to think about retirement. It's not a place I could put much hope in for my own future.
@Dr. Fleming: as I said, nearly all of the English folk I have known born after 1980 fell under one of two categories: expatriates or residents of London. I would be prepared to accept that neither group is truly representative of England except for one caveat: London nowadays sucks away so many of the youth of the country, as friends of mine who live or have lived in London and elsewhere in England have confirmed to me. (There is a reason I wrote "living in London" instead of "from London.") In the meantime I have recalled several other English folk around my age or younger whom I found to be good company (not that what I find to be good company is necessarily a standard, but I like to labor under the illusion that I have a little taste, at least). They seem to be drawn pretty easily into France. However, so am I, and that probably colors my perspective. In the same vein, as Paris is DEFINITELY a hungry vacuum for very nearly all the young talent of France, I'm probably too quick to see that analogy.
But yes, my English experience is limited and I think a young American could do much worse than England.

Disposition: Alleged
Abuser names unreleased
SPCA investigators want to throw the book at an animal owner after stumbling across one of the worst cases of animal cruelty they have ever seen. One dog had to be put down and 49 others moved to a shelter after B.C. SPCA responded to a complaint on a rural property outside Williams Lake. "It was an absolutely abysmal case of neglect and animal cruelty," said B.C. SPCA general manager of cruelty investigations Marcie Moriarty. "It's one of the worst I have ever seen, it's right up there."
Moriarty told 24 hours that one dog had a collar embedded around its neck, causing severe wounds and infection. "It was in critical distress and we had no choice but to euthanize it on site," she said. Other dogs now at an Okanagan shelter are severely malnourished. "One dog, a mother of four, was just a skeleton when we got her," she said. "We're not sure about their condition. It's too early to tell."
Moriarty said the SPCA and RCMP are looking at charging the owner, who did not own the land where the animals were found, under both the Animal Cruelty Act and the Criminal code, which could land a six-month jail sentence, $2,000 fine and restrictions on owning animals. "The sentences available are woefully inadequate," she said. "But we'll definitely be seeking a jail term."

Logan Escarpment
State: QLD | Hectares: 43 | IUCN Category: IV | Partner: Logan City Council
Powerful owl | photo: Julian Robinson
A private bushland property on Brisbane's outskirts, home to a number of Queensland koalas, is now part of Australia's National Reserve System.
Environment Minister Peter Garrett joined Logan City Mayor Pam Parker on Sunday 19 April 2009 to announce the conservation purchase of Logan Escarpment, a 43 hectare property 30 kilometres south of Brisbane's CBD, to become part of Cornubia Forest Park.
This is the first property purchase by one of the 11 Councils in the South East Queensland Councils Partnership. Councils in the partnership are identifying land within their jurisdictions that could be purchased with the help of Australian government funding to add to the National Reserve System.
The Logan Escarpment is a high biodiversity forest remnant which is part of the most important and largest quality koala habitat/population in Australia. The site contains old growth forest which is rare in Brisbane, and is recognised as a wildlife refuge.
The area is an area of high species richness and contains numerous known or likely fauna/flora species of bioregional, state, national and international significance.
The site buffers other areas of national significance including the Carbrook Wetlands and Bayview Conservation Parks which are important for a number of migratory birds.
The land will be managed to:
- maintain the habitat mosiac of the site, including the high proportion of local primary and secondary koala habitat trees
- ensure connectivity with surrounding reserves and parks, and

The Logan Escarpment makes a nationally significant contribution to the reserve system as the site will:
- protect core koala habitat and provide wildlife refugia
- buffer and link other conservation areas of significance, including the Carbrook Wetlands, Cornubia Forest Park, Venman National Park and Daisy Hill State Forest
- protect rare old-growth forest
- protect a range of significant or old growth dependent species, including the following species known from or in close proximity, such as koala, greater glider, squirrel glider, powerful owl, glossy-black cockatoo, black-chinned honeyeater, square-tailed kite, regent honeyeater, tusked frog, eprapah wattle, hickory wattle and hairy walnut.
- protect a high proportion of local primary and secondary koala food and habitat trees, including tallowood, grey ironbark, narrow-leaved red gum, Queensland white stringybark, broad-leafed white mahogany, spotted gum, pink bloodwood and brush box.
The Australian Government contributed $1.5 million under the Caring for Our Country program and Logan City Council contributed $1.2 million to purchase the property.
