In-between Fashion and Style
Fashion and style are two inseparable words. They always go together but it doesn't mean that they have the same meaning. While a fashionable girl wears a head-to-toe Balmain Summer Spring 2012 ensemble, a stylish girl wears a vintage denim jacket from her mother in the 80's, a simple white tee and trendy snake-skin shorts. They are basically two very opposite words with different meanings, sense, aesthetic and purpose but they somewhat go with each other. A yin and yang so to speak. And I will discuss the difference and dissimilarities with fashion and style.
So what does fashion truly mean? One word that comes along with fashion is trend. They continually evolve and change. The only thing that is constant in fashion is change. Fashion is difficult to follow with if you are not committed enough because it changes every decade, season and even weeks. The current trend in bags right now is the doctor bag that has a distinct structural shape and form, but as soon as the fashion weather Gods changes the season it will be put in fashion oblivion and all the fashionistas will have a new bag to crave for. Coco Chanel once said, "Fashion is made to become unfashionable." Whether the current trends like a wide leg pants or a chiffon flowy skirt does not fit your style, personality and body type it doesn't really matter because they are what is "in" right now and if you are a real devotee of fashion it is mandatory to follow them.
While fashion seemingly dictates what you should wear and what you should not, style on the other hand is different and somewhat personal. You don't have to follow every trend that has walked on the runways or featured in the magazines. You have your own personal will and it's neither certain nor definite because you define it. A true stylish girl respects the rules but knows how to bend and break them to match it with her own personal style and aesthetic. Having a great style does not necessarily means following seriously what the fashion world commands but it's about experimenting, having fun and being you. Style is something that reflects your personality and can show the world who you truly are behind those cat eyed sunglasses. It's about being flexible to any trends but you shouldn't imitate it completely but add your own flavor and flair to it.
It's your personal choice if you wish to follow every trend. However, if you want to make a make big statement you shouldn't follow everything but you take inspiration from them and make them your own. You should be fearless and bold with your own style and most of all have fun, after all fashion is made be enjoyed.

Best beaches in east Canada???
I am planning my holidays but I don´t have a sure destination yet.One of the options is East Canada (Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto...) but I am looking for a good place with nature and beaches (or a good lake)
I´ve read about some places in Ontario, but I am not sure.
What do you say?? Which is the best option to rest a couple of days and have a swim.
I am going on holidays on September. What about the weather on that season??
Thanks a lot
Prince Edward Island, esp. Pr Edward Is. National Park, has some of the best beaches in Canada, if you are willing to go a little further eastPEI gets a little cooler in September, but, the peak season is over by then. PEI is very busy in July and August, but once the kids are back in school...PEI calms down
Although PEI is a big tourist area....its beaches are not full of kitsch (outside of the Green Gables stuff). They are clean and quiet compared to most places
You'd have to be a polar bear to go swimming in PEI after August! The Atlantic is cold!Everything winds down after Labour day, first Monday in September, then water temps start to drop like a stone, at least in eastern Canada.
Thanks a lotI've search for picture of PEI and it looks great... what a pity I am not a polar bear ;- ))
What about the weather and beaches-lakes in Ontario??
Thanks a lot
I do think you have to be a polar bear to swim on any beach in Canada in any month of the year. Many are very beautiful but non are warm.Ron Wollersheim
one thing for certain is you will require your own transportation.. lots of nice beaches in ontario, PARRY SOUNd AREA is very popular wih campers and cottagers. long point in ontario ha a nice campgound and very nice sndy beach. in toronto a trip to the center island with a nice ferry ride not bad. nice park etc there. no car required . pei is real picturesque . but once again car required.6
On Lake Huron...Some great beaches stretch from Ipperwash to Port Franks to Grand Bend. That stretch includes the Pinery Provincial Park where camping is allowed. Grand Bend is a popular holiday town.
On Lake Erie...
Port Stanley (south of London) has a very good beach.
On Georgian Bay...
Wasaga Beach is very popular.
In September, I don't think I'd be swimming anywhere except in a heated pool.
The first half of September usually has warm weather (temperatures in the low 20s degrees Celsius), but the latter half has cooler days -- sweater or jacket weather for me, but some people still wear short sleeves & short pants until October.
Thanks a lot for your help, for me it doesn´t matter if I don´t have a swim.If I want to go to the beach I can do it on August in Spain
But my girlfriend and friends they do want a nice beach to have a swim... I am going to talk with them
Yes, we are planning our holidays renting a car or a van.
We wanted to go to Hawaii to visit three islands but it´s getting impossible because we have a 36hours trip to arrive there... so we lose 4 days to go and return and we only have two weeks.
Thanks a lot
Some Ontario and Quebec lake beaches may also have some nasty mosquitoes and flies (both black and no-see-ums) that detract from the total experience.. Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick beaches on the ocean don't usually have those issues.10
Being form Québec, I would back up those saying that having a swim here in September needs a lot of determination, but the weather above the water is great (my personal favorite of the year), and the lakes/rivers (Saint-Laurent river being more or less an ocean at some point...) are beautiful anyway. If you love nature and beautiful landscapes, have a look at the national park website, where you can find all kind of housing and information about very amazing spots to visit.http://www.sepaq.com/home/index.dot?language_id=1
My favorite park is the par des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-rivière-Malbaie, with a tremendous view from the Acropole des Draveurs. You can even go for a glassboat ride, just like on the Seine river in Paris!
Hope you have a nice trip, whatever you decide

text: July 31 FLORIDA: BROWARD COURTS----New jury to weigh death penalty for child killer; Jury selection started Monday for a new penalty phase for Howard Steven Ault, convicted in 1999 of murdering 2 sisters. After years of legal wrangling, jury selection began Monday for the second sentencing hearing for Howard Steven Ault -- convicted almost a decade ago of killing 2 young girls and hiding their bodies in his Fort Lauderdale attic. Ault, who was originally sentenced to die for the crime, appealed, and in 2003, the Florida Supreme Court vacated his sentence because of a mistake during the original jury selection. Now a new jury will be asked to decide whether to sentence Ault to life in prison or death by lethal injection. Broward Judge Marc Gold -- who presided over the trial in 1999 -- told prospective jurors that Ault, now 41, had been convicted of 2 counts of 1st-degree murder, and other charges including sexual battery and aggravated child abuse. Gold explained that the mission of the jury is not to review whether Ault is guilty of the crime -- but rather, how he should be punished. ''The punishment for this crime is either death or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole,'' Gold told a pool of about 50 prospective jurors. Gold said he planned to complete the jury selection this week. The trial is scheduled to start Aug. 13. On Monday, prospective jurors were asked if they had heard about the case and their views on the death penalty. Ault, dressed a button-down shirt in front of prospective jurors, stared blankly through much of the proceedings. Before anyone from the jury pool had entered the courtroom, Ault's attorney, Mitchell Polay, told the judge that his client was on suicide watch at the Broward jail. The murders of the two girls -- straight-A students who had been homeless, living with their mother at a campsite in Oakland Park -- made national headlines, raising fears about child safety and questions about how Ault, a convicted sexual predator, was able to continue assault young victims. On Nov. 4, 1996, Ault lured DeAnn Mu'min, 11, and her 7-year-old sister, Alicia Jones, into his truck, offering them a ride home from school. Instead, he took them to his apartment, where he raped DeAnn while Alicia watched helplessly, then strangled them both. In vacating the death sentence, the Supreme Court ruled that a prospective juror who stated she was opposed to the death penalty should not have been dismissed. The woman said she would be able to sentence someone to death if the law required it. The death penalty has been in limbo in Florida, however, since a botched lethal injection in December. Former Gov. Jeb Bush impaneled a committee to investigate the execution of Angel Nieves Diaz, who took 34 minutes to die after the injection. State prison officials have since revamped execution procedures and say they are ready to resume executions. Gov. Charlie Crist signed a death warrant for Mark Dean Schwab -- his 1st death warrant since the state halted the procedure. Despite Crist's death warrant, there is an ongoing legal challenge on behalf of death row inmates that could halt Schwab's execution. Neal Dupree, the attorney who heads the South Florida state office that handles appeals for death row inmates, said that even if a jury decides Ault should be executed, his case will not be immediately impacted by current attempts to fix the lethal injection process. ''They've got the direct appeal process,'' Dupree said. "The post-conviction process, the federal appeals. Hopefully by then, the department will have fixed it's protocols. "The process before a governor would sign a warrant will take several years." (source: Miami Herald) VIRGINIA: Judge orders execution delayed A Springfield man's execution for the 2002 murder of a Lynchburg couple is on hold after a hearing in federal court in Roanoke. U.S. District Court Judge Samuel Wilson yesterday issued a stay of execution for Leon Jermain Winston and ordered him to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court within 90 days to challenge the conviction as unconstitutional. Winston had been scheduled for execution tomorrow at Greensville Correctional Center for the capital murder of Anthony and Ronda Robinson. Winston was 22 when police found the Robinsons shot to death at their Sussex Street home. They were killed April 19, 2002; police arrested Winston and Lynchburg resident Kevin Eugene Brown, 22, less than a week later. Ronda Robinson was 6 months pregnant when she was killed. The couple's 2 daughters -- ages 4 and 8 at the time -- were in the house when their parents were murdered. Virginia law says a person can be charged with capital murder if more than 1 person is killed during the same act, or if a murder is committed during a robbery. Brown was convicted of the 2nd-degree murder in the Robinsons' deaths and sentenced to 43 years in prison. (source: Richmond Times-DIspatch) PENNSYLVANIA: Convicted child killer bound for death row Convicted child killer Brentt Sherwood expressed no remorse Monday morning in Northumberland County Court in Sunbury, Pa., as he was sentenced to die for beating his 4-year-old stepdaughter to death in December 2004. The 28-year-old smiled at his mother and younger brother as he ambled into Judge William H. Wiest's courtroom for the formal sentencing dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit and shackles, but didnt show any other emotion during the brief court appearance. A jury imposed the death penalty in May after convicting Sherwood of 1st-degree murder, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of children for the brutal Dec. 7, 2004, beating of Marlee Rose Reed in their Northumberland, Pa. home. The 4-year-old died of her injuries the next day at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa.. Judge Wiest handed down the sentence Monday, saying it was the 1st death penalty case he's had in 10 years on the bench. "I thought it would be a very difficult act, however after listening to the testimony I have no qualms about imposing the jury's sentence," he said. In addition to the death penalty, Judge Wiest meted out a 3 1/2- to 7-year prison term, to be served consecutively, and $2,500 fine for the endangering the welfare of children conviction. The additional prison time could come into play if the murder charge or sentence is overturned on appeal. Like all death penalty cases, Sherwood's conviction will automatically be appealed to the state Supreme Court. "The sentence is preordained by the jury. My client has nothing to say," said defense attorney R. Bruce Manchester of Bellefonte as Sherwood stood quietly at his side. The convicted killer's silence did not come as a surprise to Marlee's paternal grandparents, Melvin and Donna Reed, or District Attorney Anthony Rosini. "I wouldn't want to hear anything from his mouth," Mrs. Reed said. "You didn't need words, you saw it on his face. He didn't feel anything at all." Sherwood admitted at trial that he punched and kicked Marlee on 3 separate occasions on Dec. 7, 2004, after she made a comment that hurt his feelings. He testified in a matter-of-fact tone during the trial and the penalty phase, claiming he was high on drugs and did not intend to harm the child he was caring for while her mother, Heather Goodeliunas, was at work. "He never shed a tear for this child. I don't think he had any feelings for this child," Mr. Rosini said. "He never admitted he did anything wrong. He was very cold in his testimony. "I think he got what he deserved," he said. Manchester said he advised Sherwood against speaking out at his sentencing due to the upcoming appeals. "This is the beginning of a very long process," he said. Ms. Goodeliunas, who divorced Sherwood last year, pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of children in connection with her daughter's beating death and was sentenced in July to 7 months probation. At her former husband's homicide trial, Ms. Goodeliunas testified that Sherwood had assaulted her daughter several times in the months before her death but left her in his care because she had to go to work. Sherwood will soon be moved from Northumberland County Prison in Sunbury to State Correctional Institute at Camp Hill, Pa., before being sent to serve out his sentence, most likely at SCI-Green in western Pennsylvania where death row inmates are held. (source: The Daily Item) ******************** Prosecutors challenge order releasing inmate from death row Taped telephone conversations show that Steelton serial killer Joseph D. Miller has a sophisticated awareness of his case and is not a mentally retarded inmate ineligible for execution, prosecutors said. First Assistant District Attorney Fran Chardo produced tapes Monday of conversations with his daughters in which Miller provided apt legal analysis and said, in one call, "If they want me to be dumb, I'll be dumb." Chardo and District Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr. seek to get Dauphin County Judge Jeannine Turgeon to reverse an order releasing Miller from death row in July 2003, based on a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that mentally retarded convicts could not be executed. Miller killed 4 women before his capture in 1992. A former neighbor on death row, Mark Spotz, testified that he helped Miller write letters to his children and helped him with legal correspondence because he could not understand communications from his lawyers. The defense, led by Billy H. Nolas of the Defender Association of Philadelphia, also presented expert witnesses who said Miller was presenting a facade of competency, not wanting to seem stupid. The prosecution is expected to present experts when the hearing resumes Wednesday. (source: Associated Press) USA: Death penalty does not deliver justice About a year ago, I listened to a woman give a speech about how she became an anti-death penalty activist. Her brother had been placed on death row in Georgia more than 15 years ago for the death of a white police officer, Mark MacPhail. During the trial, no physical evidence was presented and the nine eyewitness accounts were shaky. Her brother, Troy Anthony Davis, was scheduled to be executed July 17. In the years since her brother's trial, Martina Correia, along with her family, has mounted a formidable campaign to prove Troy's innocence. They have collected letters of support from a number of famous people, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Jesse Jackson Jr. They also have drawn the attention of organizations such as Amnesty International, which investigated Troy's case thoroughly and issued a 35-page report on it in February. However, this is not all. Following the trial, 7 of the nine eyewitnesses have recanted or contradicted their testimonies in sworn affidavits. Of the 2 who have not recanted, one is alleged to be the real murderer. Some of those who recanted have claimed that they were coerced or pressured by the police into testifying that Troy was the one who committed the murder. Some of the witnesses have even apologized personally to Troy for the false testimony they gave. This would seem like enough to cast a serious doubt on whether Troy committed the crime and should, one would think, stop the execution immediately. However, a law passed after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing rendered the new testimony inadmissible. The law was supposed to put an end to "frivolous appeals of death sentences," according to Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, one of the bill's sponsors. As a result, Troy has remained on death row. On July 16, one day before he was to be executed, the state granted Troy a 90-day stay of execution in a last-minute hearing. A number of leaders from the black community and the human rights movement turned out to show support. And, for the time being, Troy is still alive but still on death row. I realize that to many people the death penalty does not seem that bad. People who do bad things are executed, that is it. But, if one actually follows the executions that happen in this country and in this state, as I do, one sees a justice system that looks flawed and clumsy and run by politicians for their own purposes. It should not take Amnesty International, Jesse Jackson and Desmond Tutu to get someone a fair trial. Unfortunately, those are the realities of the justice system in this country, especially if one is poor, black or both. In Ohio, Christopher Newton was recently executed for killing a cellmate because of a chess game. He had been in prison for a robbery and committed the murder with the hope that he would get the death penalty. His execution took more than 90 minutes as the executioners searched for a vein in which to place the IV for the lethal injection. They apparently had to let him up at one point in order to give him a bathroom break. This is what the death penalty really looks like. It is a barbaric process that is undergone not to deliver justice but to appease political forces who from time to time want to see someone die. I challenge anyone to pay attention to the trials of those killed in the name of justice and be convinced that that is what we are really doing. (source: Bo Chamberlin is a senior in economics and math; The (Ohio State University) Lantern) ALABAMA: Prosecutorial discretion Shelby County's former district attorney has joined a chorus of Alabama voices calling for at least a temporary halt to the death penalty. Good. Billy Hill has seen Alabama's criminal justice system from both sides of the aisle - as a prosecuting attorney and as a defense attorney. So when he says the state needs to take a breather on the death penalty, Alabamians and their elected leaders should listen particularly closely. Not because Hill raises new reasons to object to Alabama's use of the death penalty. Hill's concerns echo what's been said over and over by people who oppose capital punishment and especially the way it is imposed in Alabama. But Hill's reservations about the death penalty - which he expressed publicly one day after the execution of someone he'd sent to death row - are grounded in a breadth of experience most of us simply don't have. Based on his experience, Hill said he would welcome a moratorium on the death penalty. He also said he questions whether the use of it "is a wise and humane use of our resources." For one thing, Alabama allows the death penalty in more circumstances than most other states, and some of the criteria are based on silly distinctions that have no apparent basis in justice. "Do you realize that if 2 people are arguing on a street corner and one of them pulls a gun and kills the other one, that is simple murder?" Hill asks. "But, take the same scenario and put one of them in a car, and it becomes a capital case." Among Hill's other concerns: So many of those charged with violent offenses were victims of child abuse, have some kind of neurological damage or have drug or alcohol problems - factors he said need to be, but seldom are, fully explored and tested before decisions are made about imposing a death sentence. Now the public defender in Shelby County, Hill also has seen problems with the quality of legal defense afforded to poor people charged with capital crimes. This is a problem with frightening implications, one that raises the prospect of innocent people being sent to death row. (Not that Hill believes Darrell Grayson, who he prosecuted and who was executed last week, falls into that category. Hill is convinced Grayson was guilty.) But Hill acknowledges the United States is in mighty sad company in continuing to embrace capital punishment. And are we safer as a result? Hill notes the alternative to a death sentence here is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. "A lot of people do not realize that in Alabama, life without parole means you are not leaving prison except with your toes turned up," he said. Important points, all, and hardly revolutionary. Already, an effort to build support for a moratorium on the death penalty in Alabama has garnered 826 signatures - from businesses, organizations, individuals, churches, and 42 cities and counties across the state, said Esther Brown, the coordinator for Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty. But so far, the Legislature has refused year after year to call even a temporary halt to executions so that we can make sure the death penalty is fair and as foolproof as is humanly possible. Legislators have listened to no one else. They should listen to Hill. (source: Opinion, Birmingham News)

Systematic review and synthesis of qualitative health research
The synthesis of findings from multiple qualitative studies can provide a range and depth of meanings, experiences, and perspectives of participants across health-care contexts. The methods for synthesising qualitative research are in the early stages of development. Synthesis of qualitative research involves: searching for qualitative studies, appraising the reporting of qualitative research, and synthesising the findings of primary qualitative research.
Synthesis of qualitative research are being conducted on a range of topics including: health care professional perspectives on wait listing and organ allocation, children and adolescent perspectives across the trajectory of chronic kidney disease, carer experiences in caring for people with chronic kidney disease, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours relating to medicine taking, and the experiences of living donors.

Avian flu (H5N1) aka bird flu is a type of influenza A that mainly infects birds but occasionally affects humans. Avian flu can be transmitted from live birds to people, although transmission between humans is very inefficient. The initial symptoms of avian flu are similar to those of other influenza viruses, including fever, generalised muscle pain, cough and sore throat. However, it is more likely to result in high fever, chest infection, respiratory failure, multi-organ failure, and death. For more information: Click Me |

This doesn't end well.
Here's the scenario. The most successful sports video game of all time, Madden NFL, held a challenge this year to determine which player would be bestowed with the honor of being on its cover. So they held an online voting tournament where the public could decide, and one player from each of the 32 teams was chosen. Then, customer interaction was called upon, thousands of votes were cast, blood and tears were shed, and at the end of the day only two were left standing. Going into the finals, the match-up was (drum roll, please): Peyton Hillis vs. Michael Vick!
Otherwise known as "Who the hell is that?" vs. "Man, I hate that guy."
I'm pretty sure the marketing team at EA Sports, the makers of Madden, all did simultaneous forehead smacks when these results came in. How did this go so wrong? There were players like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, and Julius Peppers in the running, who are all huge stars and (likely) future Hall of Famers. Well, it started when Peyton Hillis' team, the Cleveland Browns, ran an actual marketing campaign for its (kind of) star player to win the Madden cover challenge. The campaign must have been pretty powerful, because it worked: big time. Hillis even beat the reigning Super Bowl MVP (who shall go nameless around Chicago).
And I have absolutely no idea how Michael Vick got this far. No further comment needed. But in a delicious coincidence, the Cleveland Browns fan section in their stadium is called the "Dawg Pound."
So, what could EA Sports have done differently? For starters, Madden NFL is already one of the most successful games of all time. They didn't NEED this gimmick. No one would have complained if Peyton Manning was on the cover. I understand the feeling of wanting to do something interesting for fans by encouraging customer interaction, but why fix what isn't broken?
Second, they should have NEVER put any player in the challenge that they wouldn't have been proud to put on its cover. But they did, and they'll pay the price. The sales of the annual Tiger Woods game dropped dramatically after his…um…indiscretions, so who knows what effect this will have on Madden's sales?
By the time this is posted, a winner will have been declared. But it really doesn't matter. The story is told, and either ending is an unhappy one for EA Sports. At this point, I don't think they even care who wins. And they only have themselves to blame…
Do you agree that EA Sports should have taken a different approach with this competition? What else could they have done to involve their customers? Do you have any other examples of customer interaction gone wrong?
Editor's Note: Peyton Hillis was declared the winner for this contest during the first week of May. You can check out their official site for more details!

Anyone encountering anti-Christian polemics will quickly come up against the accusation that a major festival practiced by Christians across the globe—namely, Easter—was actually borrowed or rather usurped from a pagan celebration. I often encounter this idea among Muslims who claim that later Christians compromised with paganism to dilute the original faith of Jesus.
The argument largely rests on the supposed pagan associations of the English and German names for the celebration (Easter in English and Ostern in German). It is important to note, however, that in most other European languages, the name for the Christian celebration is derived from the Greek word Pascha, which comes from pesach, the Hebrew word for Passover. Easter is the Christian Passover festival.
Of course, even if Christians did engage in contextualization—expressing their message and worship in the language or forms of the local people—that in no way implies doctrinal compromise. Christians around the world have sought to redeem the local culture for Christ while purging it of practices antithetical to biblical norms. After all, Christians speak of "Good Friday," but they are in no way honoring the worship of the Norse/Germanic queen of the gods Freya by doing so.
But, in fact, in the case of Easter the evidence suggests otherwise: that neither the commemoration of Christ's death and resurrection nor its name are derived from paganism.
The usual argument for the pagan origins of Easter is based on a comment made by the Venerable Bede (673-735), an English monk who wrote the first history of Christianity in England, and who is one of our main sources of knowledge about early Anglo-Saxon culture. In De temporum ratione (On the Reckoning of Time, c. 730), Bede wrote this:
In olden times the English people—for it did not seem fitting that I should speak of other nations' observance of the year and yet be silent about my own nation's—calculated their months according to the course of the Moon. Hence, after the manner of the Greeks and the Romans, [the months] take their name from the Moon, for the Moon is called mona and the month monath. The first month, which the Latins call January, is Giuli; February is called Solmonath; March Hrethmonath; April, Eosturmonath … Eosturmonath has a name which is now translated "Paschal month" and which was once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate that Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honoured name of the old observance.
The first question, therefore, is whether the actual Christian celebration of Easter is derived from a pagan festival. This is easily answered. The Nordic/Germanic peoples (including the Anglo-Saxons) were comparative latecomers to Christianity. Pope Gregory I sent a missionary enterprise led by Augustine of Canterbury to the Anglo-Saxons in 596/7. The forcible conversion of the Saxons in Europe began under Charlemagne in 772. Hence, if "Easter" (i.e. the Christian Passover festival) was celebrated prior to those dates, any supposed pagan Anglo-Saxon festival of "Eostre" can have no significance. And there is, in fact, clear evidence that Christians celebrated an Easter/Passover festival by the second century, if not earlier. It follows that the Christian Easter/Passover celebration, which originated in the Mediterranean basin, was not influenced by any Germanic pagan festival.

The driver struggles to understand Meir's pleas in Hebrew to spare his life, and thinks his erratic passenger needs to go to the bathroom. Meir calls on Amjad for help when his clueless driver "locks" him in an outhouse. Amjad and his father set out on a rescue mission to free Meir from his "kidnappers."

About Arab Labor
Created by Sayed Kashua, a 32-year-old Israeli-born Palestinian journalist, Arab Labor (translated from the Hebrew "Avoda Aravit" which colloquially implies "shoddy or second-rate work") focuses on Amjad, a Palestinian journalist and Israeli citizen in search of his identity as he seeks high status in the society into which he was born but where his car is searched everyday when he drives from his neighborhood to his job at a newspaper in Jerusalem.
Poking fun at the cultural divide, Kashua and his characters play on religious, cultural and political differences to daringly depict the mixed society that is Israel. This show marked a milestone on Israeli television as the first program to present Palestinian characters speaking Arabic on primetime. Arab Labor has generated great controversy between Arab and Israeli media and Link TV is premiering the program to the US television audience in order to offer a fresh perspective on Israeli-Palestinian cultural friction while presenting an unbelievably entertaining show that has made an international splash.

For the second year in a row, the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries announced it will propose no rate increase in workers compensation insurance.
L & I Director Judy Schurke credited the legislature and governor for pursuing workers' compensation reforms in 2011 for her ability to propose no rate increases
"Without those reforms, we would be facing a rate increase," she said in a statement. "Instead, we're able to keep rates down for Washington's businesses and workers."
Savings from these reforms are beating expectations. L&I now projects the reforms will save $1.5 billion over four years which is $300 million more than originally thought. L&I estimated it would have had to propose a four percent rate increase if reforms hadn't been passed.
"This announcement is great news for labor and business and further proof of the good that we can do for the state when the legislature works together," said Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, who led the charge of moderate Democrats in the senate pushing for workers' comp reforms in 2011. "These reforms provided relief for businesses, but at the same time we made sure that workers and their families were still protected."
"The solutions to our fiscal problems are out there. Tackling them in a bipartisan fashion is always a more effective method. This is proof of that."
These additional savings also means that an additional $82 million will be placed in the State Fund reserves by the end of 2013. Reserves have reached critically low levels in recent years due to the effects of the Great Recession.

Tongues of flame twist in a fireplace, hinting at the warmth filling the bustling kitchen at MK Valencia. Rail lighting spills a blue aura over dishes that draw from myriad culinary traditions. Mediterranean flavors shine through in salmon drizzled in a pesto sauce and lamb osso bucco. In the dining room, glasses clink occasionally like a xylophonist failing a performance review, setting a tempo for the wait staff, which totes roasted salmon in a pesto sauce.
A curtain of bubbles rises up through champagne cocktails in lively colors that match the crescent-shaped orange booths or electric-blue wine racks. During warmer months, the murmur of conversation spills out onto a patio draped with live plants.
Behind Brownstone Lounge's doors, exposed brick, neon lights, and thumping beats underscore patrons' bubbly conversations over plates of tapas-style fare and ice-cold drinks served straight from a chilled drink dome. On comfy couches scattered throughout the restaurant, diners nosh on small plates ranging in style from Latin or French fusion such as mango fish tacos with chipotle sauce and sautéed mussels in white whine sauce, to comforting pub grub such as buffalo chicken wings and mac 'n' cheese wedges. Beer, wine, sangria, and cocktails complement meals, and all of the lounge's vodka flows straight from a drink dome chilled to negative 32 degrees, the precise temperature of a broken heart. The space is also decked out with jukeboxes, allowing guests to express musical preferences without climbing onto the bar and belting out their favorite showtunes.
In 2004—on a mission to bolster its community's wellspring of art, creativity, and education—the nonprofit Bergen Performing Arts Center took over the former John Harms Center, an art deco–style movie and vaudeville palace built in 1926. Today, in the same antique theater where Shakespeare screened his first car-chase movie, the Bergen Performing Arts Center hosts 150 yearly events that bring dance, music, and theatrical productions to an estimated 250,000 annual audience members. Networks like HBO, PBS, and MTV all have filmed international broadcasts on Bergen Performing Arts Center's stage, which has seen the likes of Tony Bennett, Woody Allen, and the Dixie Chicks.
Combining coffeehouse cool with club beats, Sip Bar entices patrons with an inventive array of international eats for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant delights morning diners with rise-and-shineables such as granola and yogurt ($7) or eggs in a basket, a more portable alternative to orange juice in a butterfly net ($10). Tongues in need of a tasty wakeup are treated to frothy, creamy cappuccinos ($4). Later in the day, small wooden tables cheerily grumble beneath the weight of roasted eggplant sandwiches, stuffed with garlic, roasted red pepper and mozzarella ($9), garlic shrimp ($17), and Hungarian-style goulash with potato dumplings ($20). Sip serves its full menu every day until 4 a.m., ensuring that hungry night owls needn't gnaw on coasters or deep-fried napkin rings.
Surrounding its 24 oil-slicked lanes with exposed-brick walls, an arcade, and private VIP lounges, Harlem Lanes complements the thrill of striking down pins with the relaxed atmosphere of a swanky nightclub. Anchoring the two-story space, a sports bar serves drinks and food under the glow of flat-screen TVs, and couches throughout the facility allow bowlers to kick up their feet after celebrating strikes with mock tap dances. The ambience gets funky on Friday and Saturday, when live DJs and glow-in-the-dark bowling loosening up straitlaced pins.
Executive chef Rene Hernandez calls upon a culinary education at Spain's world-renowned restaurant El Bulli to craft a tapas menu of 14 hot and cold plates of shareable dishes that draw from broad international influences. With a chosen glass of wine in hand, guests can cool tongues with the artisanal manchego cheese bolstered by organic chorizo and white grapes. Chefs hide crabmeat salad inside smoked salmon to surprise palates and place the fish on eggplant shaped like caviar to fit in at black-tie functions. Forks protect fingers from scorching by spearing-hot tapas including grilled baby squid served on a bed of caribbean salad with a cider vinaigrette. The crispy shells of sweet-plantain croquettes deliver dollops of chipotle aioli sauce, and teeth chomp their signature into packages of pan-seared shrimp in garlic and white wine.

Tbo-filgrastim is intended for use in adults who have cancers other than blood or bone marrow cancers (non-myeloid malignancies) and are taking chemotherapy drugs that cause a substantial decrease in the production of neutrophils in the bone marrow. This reduction in neutrophils may lead to infection and fever (febrile neutropenia).
Tbo-filgrastim stimulates the bone marrow to increase the production of neutrophils. It is administered as an injection beginning 24 hours after chemotherapy treatment.
"Supportive care products, such as tbo-filgrastim, reduce or allow for more rapid recovery from side effects of cancer treatments," said Richard Pazdur, M.D., director of the Office of Hematology and Oncology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
Tbo-filgrastim was evaluated in a clinical study of 348 adult patients with advanced breast cancer receiving treatment with the anti-cancer drugs doxorubicin and docetaxel. Patients were randomly assigned to receive tbo-filgrastim, a placebo, or a non-U.S.-approved filgrastim product, a drug that also stimulates neutrophil production by the bone marrow. The effectiveness of tbo-filgrastim was determined based on study results that showed that patients receiving tbo-filgrastim recovered from severe neutropenia in 1.1 days compared with 3.8 days in those receiving the placebo.
Tbo-filgrastim's safety was evaluated in three clinical studies composed of 680 adults with breast cancer, lung cancer, or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who received high-dose chemotherapy that reduces bone marrow cells (myeloablative chemotherapy). The most common side effect observed in those receiving tbo-filgrastim was bone pain.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
The enthusiastic crowd has helped Danny Wilson's boys to two home victories to date, with a 28-15 win over Scotland and last weekend's 30-23 victory over Italy and Wilson is hoping for more of the same on Friday.
"The boys have been hugely motivated by the crowd at EIRIAS which I'd say has certainly had a knock-on effect on our home performances and results," he said.
"We are certainly hoping for more of the same on Friday, and this last game of the Under 20 Six Nations Championship will be our final chance to look at the players in this tournament environment before selecting our Junior World Championship squad.
"However, France will be a more difficult task, they are a very good side and the only team to beat England so far in the tournament.
They've lost only one game, narrowly to Ireland, and have a very powerful pack and midfield in particular. We came away with a win last week but our defence in particular will need to be better against France."
WRU Head of Rugby Joe Lydon said: "We are very grateful for the incredible support shown by the people of North Wales for the Under 20 side throughout this campaign and the noise and atmosphere generated at EIRIAS has no doubt given the young players a massive boost and helped them achieve two wins out of two so far at the Colwyn Bay venue.
"EIRIAS is a fantastic ground for international rugby and there will be more of the same when a Georgia International XV arrive to take on RGC 1404 on Saturday, 31 March (7.30pm)."
Mally Tidswell, EIRIAS general manager added: "Having the first three Wales under 20 international matches at EIRIAS as sell outs is absolutely fantastic news. The atmosphere at EIRIAS for the games has been brilliant so a huge thanks to the public in North Wales for showing their support to the Wales under 20 squad and the EIRIAS Stadium."
For those not lucky enough to get tickets for the game, the match will be shown live on S4C.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Harrison High School in Canon City
Canon City police say a reported child abduction attempt was simply a misunderstanding.
Authorities responded on Wednesday April 24 to a report of two children who were possibly being enticed to get into a car by an unknown person. It happened in the area of Harrison Middle School.
Friday, police said the woman driving the suspicious car believed one of the two children was her daughter and she had yelled at her to "get in the car". The child was not the woman's daughter but looked very similar to the woman's daughter.

I wouldn't have started a new thread if there wasn't at least *one* important difference here to be aware of!
This applies to me and probably anyone else trying to map with ArmA 2: Combined Operations purchased off of *steam*. It might be the same if you bought it elsewhere, YMMV.
While I was setting up my work directory, specifically my P:/CA drive, I unpbo'd and moved all the important bits from both my Operation Arrowhead "Common" folder and of course the "Expansion" folder.
"Common" is where it gets tricky! At first glance you see what you would think would simply be copies of essential pbos common to both OA and A2. They even have the same names, such as "misc3.pbo". However these are NOT the same pbos! They aren't even close to being the same size, usually the A2 versions being MUCH larger!
Mikero pointed this out to me and suggested I try first unpbo'ing the ones found in my oa/common folder and then overwriting them with the ones from arma2/addons, so this is what I have done.
Testing is still going down on this so if anyone has any feedback or suggestions feel free to pitch in!

Grab a Button!
Product 9/69
Joel is a lucky man. One afternoon after an exhausting day of work, he decides to take a nap on the couch. But his rest is interrupted by giggling and frivolity emanating from the kitchen. More curious than tired, he steals to the kitchen and peeking around the corner, spies his gorgeous girlfriend, Teri and three equally beautiful ladies, all in skimpy bikinis. And guess what they were doing?
Bananaz, is a fast clever read, combining the sexy aspects of erotica with humor. Bananaz is as zany as its name implies, yet, oh, so sexy!
The Afro beauty standing almost directly opposite me locked eyes and smiled. What a fantastic smile she displayed, perfect pearly white teeth contrasting her medium brown skin. As her playful, warm brown eyes fixed on mine, she pursed her lips to toss me a kiss, then lifted up a yellow object and inserted it into her mouth. It was a banana. Still watching me with mischievous glee in her bright eyes, she sexily moved it in and out, while stroking the remainder of the banana with her other hand.Feeling my own personal banana stirring, I noticed the other girls were also holding bananas. The redhead noticing what black beauty was doing and followed her eyes to me. Throwing a hand up over her mouth, she couldn't stifle the laugh escaping though her coral painted lips. Next the black-haired girl noticed me and smiled broadly. Joel, the voyeur, had been discovered.Teri spun around with a banana halfway down her throat and started choking when she saw me. Blushing and sniggering, she jerked the banana out of her mouth. Taking my hand, she dragged me into the kitchen, falling into my arms."Hi, sweetheart! Looks like you caught us being wicked," she admitted, blushing."Wicked? It looks more like you're starving." I took the banana from her hand and examined it. "What's going on?"Teri batted those baby blues. "Joel, honey, these are my friendsLisa, Shelly and Gloria. They work with me." The redhead, Shelly, nodded. Hispanic Lisa lifted up her hand and waved, but the African-American, Gloria, the feistiest of the trio, pointed at the banana in her mouth, then, after moving it in and out a few seconds, pointed at me and winked. I nodded as my pocket rocket grew another inch.Teri went on, but my gaze remained on Gloria. "This is so embarrassing. We were sunning by the pool and somehow the subject of blowjobs came up.""I think it was Gloria," interrupted Shelly, whose eyes grew wider at Gloria's banana sucking exploits.Gloria winked again."Then the subject evolved to doing deep-throat, so we came up here to see if we could do it." Teri noticed Gloria's exhibition."Gloria, could you cool it for a moment?"Gloria slowly took the banana out of her mouth. Eyeing my somewhat bulging crotch, she licked her lips and said, Pleased to eat you, Joel. Grrrr."Clearly shocked, Shelly turned to Gloria. "Glory, this is Teri's boyfriend."Grinning at her naughty remark, Gloria planted her fist upon her extended left hip while pointing the banana in her other hand at Teri's dreamboat. Hey girl, don't I know it. Look at him. Check out all that dark curly hair and his gorgeous smile. Doesn't that just make you wanna plant a happy-face on him?"Smacking her lips and giving Gloria a high five, Lisa added, "You're there, Glory. He surely is a hunk. Look at those beautiful blues, and check those muscles! What are you, baby, six foot three, maybe two-twenty?""Six-two, two-ten and he belongs to me." Teri locked arms around me, reinforcing her claim.Gloria chided Teri, "Girl, why you sucking on bananas when the top banana is at your fingertips? C'mon, girl, show us how you do it."
