Tesco Light Choices Maple Cereal Bars Reviews

Tesco Light choices maple cereal bars are a sugary breakfast cereal bar that costs £1.53 for a box of six bars and are described as "Rice and wheat cereal bars with maple syrup". I picked these up because I wanted a cereal bar and these were one of very few of the extremely large selection of cereal bars that didn't have dairy in it. I've not really got any idea why so many of them have dairy in other because than it is cheap - it's generally pretty low down on the list of ingredients, so it's not like they are trying to reproduce the "Morning bowl of cereal and milk" taste. So, I've given the product a plus one on the rating for the lack ... Read the complete review

I shall be working on the RNLI stall on Llandudno seafront on Sunday selling lifeboat souvenirs and as the stall is open from 8am until 6pm I needed some food and drink to take with me that wouldn't ruin my diet which is still going well if a little slowly. When I was in Tesco's last week I looked at the cereal bars to choose a couple of packets of the ones which were relatively low in calories and sugar. I chose three different boxes so that I could take a mixture of flavours and they would last two or three weeks. The ones that I chose were Alpen Light which I had tried before and knew that I liked, Tesco Special Flake Bars with Peach and Apricot ... Read the complete review

I'd previously tried these a couple of years ago when the Tesco Light Choices range was known as the Healthy Living range. I didn't think much of them back then, finding them to be dry and flavourless, but being a lover of maple syrup I thought I'd give them another go. They are located in the cereals aisle and have been repackaged into a much classier looking white box with a simple photo showing a plate of the unwrapped bars. The writing on the box describes them as 'rice and wheat cereal bars with maple syrup' and a quick look at the ingredient list does indeed confirm 40% rice, 13% wheat and 2% maple syrup - so far so good. A box costs £1.36 (at the ... Read the complete review

Background | Clathrin is the major protein component in the coat formed around pits and vesicles involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis. Clathrin forms a non-covalently bound triskelion structure composed of three heavy chains (192kDa each) and three light chains (23-25kDa each). A variety of proteins facilitate receptor-mediated endocytosis through association with clathrin-coated vesicles. Huntingtin interacting protein 1 (Hip1) is an actin-binding protein that interacts with Huntingtin protein, and has been implicated in vesicular transport defects found in Huntingtin's disease. Hip1 related protein (Hip1R) is another actin binding protein that contains an epsin NH2-terminal homology (ENTH)domain, three coiled-coil regions, a leucine zipper, and a talin-like actin binding domain. Hip1R mRNA is widely expressed, and Hip1R protein is enriched in the cell cortex and perinuclear region. The ENTH domain of Hip1R is required for binding to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate, and this complex is essential for clathrin-mediated endocytosis. In addition, Hip1R colocalizes with clathrin, AP-2 and endocytosed transferrin. Thus, Hip1R may facilitate interactions between clathrin-coated pits and actin during endocytosis. |

A warm front located south of the Great Lakes and extending along the Mississippi Valley, and a humid southeasterly airmass contributed to the Moderate PM2.5 concentrations were reported today in the eastern half of the United States.

Five reasons to drop NDAs
I've come across two types of NDA-loving individual in my career: the clueless and the very clueless. The first type of clueless are simply inexperienced; they're naive and have yet to actually use an NDA. The second type of clueless are the old-school, the hyper-paranoid and the truly witless; the type of person that "just doesn't get it". This post is for both of you guys.
NDAs are unusable
Reading through the slew of NDAs I've been sent—some of which I begrudgingly signed—I notice a pattern emerge: they're literally unusable. Most NDAs are boilerplate templates that just don't consider the requirements of the modern business world; the last NDA I was asked to sign included the following requirement:
[to] not use, reproduce, transform or store any of the Confidential Information in an externally accessible computer or electronic information retrieval system or transmit it in any form or by any means whatsoever outside of Recipients usual address(es) or place(s) of business
My solicitor confirmed that upon signing this NDA, I would be unable to send an e-mail, even to the disclosing party, about the project!
NDAs don't work
There's no better way to put this, so I'll just say it: I've never not technically broken an NDA. Whether with a loved one or a colleague, I've always spoken about the projects I'm working on. And I've never met anyone different. I've had open conversations with a few of the world's most successful new entrepreneurs, soon-to-be-multi-millionaires, under non-disclosure agreements with the largest corporations on the planet: they all say what they want to, whether or not they're under an NDA.
Business pre-nuptial agreements
I can't think of a worse way to try start a healthy, trusting business relationship than to say "sign this document and I'll fuck you up if you ever talk it". It's just not cool and it turns me right off.
If you trust me, you'll trust me not to "steal" your idea. If you don't trust me, goodbye.
NDAs say ideas are valuable
There's a popular myth that NDAs help promote that says ideas are worth the paper they're written on. The truth is, ideas are worth jack-shit without implementation. Whatever your idea, however smart it is, at least ten people have already had it. What makes you special is that you're doing something about it now. Tim Bray on community-based sites, via Daring Fireball:
If you and I have the same good idea for a community-based Web site on the same day, and mine is on the air in five months and yours in eight, then you're dead. And it doesn't matter if yours is better, because the community has gathered.
Closed ideas are dead ideas
Ideas aren't real until they're talked about, considered, discussed and picked apart. Put your ideas out into the world and watch them blossom; keep them locked-up in your mind and see them perish.
A smart, young entrepreneur I met at an OpenCoffee event wanted to share an idea with me to see if I could help; but not without an NDA first. I refused to sign and he missed out on some quality, free advice.
Paul Arden wrote about this in his wonderfully short (but not short titled) It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want to Be:
Give away everything you know, and more will come back to you.
You will remember from school other students preventing you from seeing their answers by placing their arm around their exercise book or exam paper. It is the same at work, people are secretive with ideas. 'Don't tell them that, they'll take the credit for it.' The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually you become stale. If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish. Somehow the more you give away the more comes back to you.Ideas are open knowledge. Don't claim ownership. They're not your ideas anyway, they're someone else's. They are out there floating on the ether. You just have to put yourself in a frame of mind to pick them up.
Never again
I'd like to go on the record to say that neither myself nor Contrast will ever sign an NDA again.

Window Volume Purchase Program Working to Lower Cost, Improve Availability
R-5 windows can reduce average heat loss by 30-40% over common ENERGY STAR-qualified products (with an R-3 value), and low-e storm windows have the potential for twice the energy savings of those without a low-e coating, according to Department of Energy (DOE) estimates. The problem? Because of low demand these windows are only available today at a considerable price premium through special order.
A new national volume purchase program is working to change that by spurring availability and lowering the cost of these high efficiency window products for residential and commercial installations. Manufacturers and other stakeholders will gather in Washington, DC, on May 27th to kick off the "Highly-Insulating (R-5) Windows and Low-e Storm Windows Volume Purchase Program," an effort led by DOE.
The two-pronged strategy behind the volume purchase includes a production engineering request for proposals for manufacturers willing to develop high volume factories for qualifying products. Secondly, the agency will spread the word to building owners, contractors and other stakeholders and help aggregate buyers in order to reduce risk for manufacturers making investments in their facilities.
Information about participating manufacturers and how to purchase qualifying products will be available on a DOE website after the May meeting. For more information in the meantime, visit http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/windowsvolumepurchase/.

There are dilemmas within dilemmas within dilemmas when it comes to watching sport on telly.
The big one, which The Punch's token sport yob Ant is always bugging us about, concerns who controls the telly in his single TV household. Basically, when Friday night crime comes on the ABC at 8.30, Ant's wife gets control of the remote and that's that.
But aside from all the usual dilemmas surrounding TV and sport, this weekend has thrown up a doozy. Quite simply, which sport to watch?
If you're an AFL or NRL person, you'll no doubt be glued to your code's final series. But the Rugby World Cup also starts this weekend, with the All Blacks playing Tonga tonight and the Wallabies playing Italy on Sunday.
If none of that floats your boat, there's Sam Stosur in the US Open. She's reached the semis now, and will have a vastly inferior opponent en route to the final.
There's also cricket, and credit where credit's due, Michael Clarke seems to be doing a great job over in Sri Lanka. His decision to bowl Mike Hussey, who snared the prize wicket of Sangakkara, was a beauty.
And of course, there's soccer somewhere. There's always soccer somewhere. It's like when you turn on the Cartoon Network on Foxtel and Sponge Bob is on. Sponge Bob is always on.
What are you going to watch this weekend? And if the answer is "nothing" because you hate sport, allow us to ask this: is it OK for the non sport lover in the house to control the remote?

A great weekend ahead.
Tiges and Dragons tonite , no argument about whats on the crystal bucket.

Rugby- let the festivities begin.

Seanr says:
There is only one sport for the next few weeks and that is rugby, specifically the Rugby World Cup. All you philistines with your AFL, League and other non sports come and glory in the game they play in heaven.
I will think of you all as I sip my imported beer at North Harbour and swap old school stories with fellow aficionados'(I was going for smugly condescending….how'd I do?)
ibast says:
The best thing about the NRL and AFL finals season is the knowledge it will be all over soon.
Thank Christ for the Rugby World cup. Although how much of it is going to be free-to-air?
boneman says:
Yet again the ARU have lost the opportunity to show case this great game to the masses by awarding the free to air coverage to channel 9. Tonights opening ceremony delayed 4 hrs in favour of the league game. DUMB,DUMB,DUMB. If you wanted to grow the game any other TV network than 9.
VVS says:
Make sure there are fresh batteries in the remote because there is going to be a lot of flicking between channels…

Sport is for playing not watching, unless its cricket then there is no difference
ben says:
aww. i was all ready to talk about if its ever okay to have an affair.
AFL. All the finals this weekend should be good.
Sheedy's Left Foot says:
Get Foxtel. Watch it all. And in real time without the match being delayed for unneccesary in game adbreaks.
Tonights - Tigers V Dragon, All Blacks v Tonga and an occasional glance at the Sri lanka V Au test match. Oh and an England V India ODI.
Saturday will be an orgy as all my favourites play…Broncos V Warriors, Everton V Villa and England V Argentina and the cricket test
Sunday it is onto the Wallabies. Oh and an England V India ODI. and More NRL finals.
Too much sport is never enough.
JC says:
The only AFL game I'll be watching this weekend is Geelong vs Hawthorn, Geelong were amazing last week and I want to see some more of that (not a cats supporter). Might watch some world cup, not a huge rugby fan but i don't mind the ol' wallabies.
If spongebob is on i'll watch that too
Luke says:
It was a double fist pump from me when i realised how much footy was on this weekend! Gonna try to watch all of it!
Can't wait to see the warriors towel up the broncos. With Thaiday and Hoffman out, they are a little vunerable, and the warriors have been playing well away from home, and only lost to the broncs by a point at Lang Park 5 weeks ago. Plus i'm a NSWelshman and don't wanna see Locky go out a winner, it was painful enough in Origin!
Blissful says:
This non-sport lover won't be fighting any one for the remote control. One of the adavantages of living alone and declaring my pad a sports- free zone. Pure Bliss.

EPL is back god bless it! Just got Foxtel fitted after deciding not to fit it to my new digs 12 months ago. Oh boy I missed it!
Rah Rah World Cup; I love watching the OLL Blecks choke every 4 years!
A league is back and I can watch it AT HOME again WOOHOO!
Tigers are about to put Saint George out of it's misery tonight.
Not to mention only 5 weeks until Bathurst!
Oh yeah I heard there are finals in another code south of the border too!
bigmuzz says:
I'm still trying to get over the fact that some people these days still live in 1 tv households!?!...... I thought most houses these days were 1 tv PER ROOM households!....
Ricky says:
None! Absolutely none of these sports are interesting or require any form of intelligence. Nothing beats not giving a shit about men tackling one another and feeling up one another. But apparently foooozzzzzzb4ll is a "MANS" sport. HAHA foooozzzzb4ll is the dumbest sport known to man. I will be watching no sport but rather will be watching Sons of Anarchy. A non queer show.
kate says:
I hate AFL, but will definitely be tuning in for the rugby league finals and the EPL.
Also, might watch rugby union and tennis. Theres too much to choose from!!!
Shane From Melbourne says:
Probably AFL. Not Rugby League cos if I wanted to see people with their head up an ass, I'd go to Federal Parliament…...
Martin Milne says:
The reason that there is always football - or soccer to you - is that it is the world game. It is played around, so at whatever time year or day somewhere it will be the football season and game time. It's great
TC says:
"It's like when you turn on the Cartoon Network on Foxtel and Sponge Bob is on. Sponge Bob is always on"
So true
EPL for me then the world cup
Phil says:
Can't believe I agree with MFarr on anything but go Tonga. After all we go for The Wallabies and whoever is playing New Zealand bar the Boks. In that case you want a draw in extra time with plenty of injuries to both teams.
Servaas says:
Whatever you watch watch the Springboks to see how a tournament win is forged.
RWC is definitely the thing for the next few weeks: nations of the world come together to play the true gentlemen's game.

No matter how you look at it, its been impossible to avoid the run of bad news in recent weeks: law enforcement officers killed in Missouri and Kansas, the Connecticut school massacre, Jovan Belchers murder/suicide rampage, children caught in the line of fire.
Balance is needed, even in bad news
December 23
By DEREK DONOVAN
The Kansas City Star
Journalists must report the news, obviously. But I also have great sympathy for the readers who have been telling me in recent weeks that the negativity has become almost overwhelming.
On Dec. 18, The Kansas City Stars front page was particularly grim. At the top was a good-news story about Garmins appointment of a new CEO. But the rest of the stories all concerned death.
Isnt it time for the editors to say enough and move on from some of this stuff? asked a caller that morning.
I know you have to report the news, and we have to hear about this postman who died in the heat, and the (Connecticut) funerals, and the policemen who got shot, he said. I just wish they would mix it up a little more and give us some good news out front. Its there, but you have to look for it.
Another example: An emailer Dec. 17 found fault with the tenor of a story the previous day about artist Geo Sipp and writer Conger Beasley Jr. and their work concerning torture in the French-Algerian War.
I was disturbed to open yesterdays paper and find a very dark story titled The Art of War on the cover of the A+E section, wrote the reader. This coming not just a week before Christmas, but also as the nation mourned another assault rifle attack. He suggested instead coverage of his own work, whose subject matter is a secular look at Christmas and peace.
Readers often compliment positivity, and suggest it as a model. For example, two readers complimented the Diversity Diva column in that Dec. 18 Star Business Weekly section. In it, Michelle T. Johnson referred to the noise of reaction to these distressing recent news events as they apply to the workplace.
If you make the mistake of looking at Facebook, Twitter and comments on the news stories online and on the air, its all made worse, Johnson wrote, but that sentence could have come from any one of the many readers who have expressed exactly those sentiments to me for quite some time.
In fact, the No. 1 criticism I hear about KansasCity.com has always been the behavior of people who post comments on stories. You might think now that the Internet has been so widespread for well over a decade, it might have grown out of its cranky, complaining adolescence.
To the contrary, I believe social media has amped up the bad vibes. Ive noticed that Twitter in particular has become a vastly more negative place than it used to be. It seems to have turned into the Internets collective complaint box.
And thats why I think journalists should listen when their readers point out that things have gotten too heavy. We all see the unending battles over fractious subjects such as gun control and the economy on our Facebook walls and on the cable news shoutfests.
The paper should of course always remain serious and address the issues of the day head on. But there should also be room for good news, which is also all around us.
Im not saying my callers demand a Pollyanna approach to the news. Im more likely to hear requests that The Star strive for balance, an occasional break even when it seems like theres little but chaos to report on.
Thats a challenge when times are tough. And in an era where print publications are dealing with tighter space, those happy features that make readers smile brites in newspaper jargon have to compete more every day with the hard news that must find its way into the paper.
The ancient Greeks called for moderation in all things nothing in excess. Thats a model for editors as well.
Derek Donovan will return Dec. 31.

A large cloud of smoke in North Fresno could be seen from all over the city Tuesday morning, causing many CBS47 viewers to call the news room to find out the cause.
The smoke was coming from the area of Blackstone and El Paso, behind the building that houses the old Sports Authority, a Ross store and Bed Bath & Beyond.
Apparently a roofing company was working with hot tar and the equipment on the trailer malfunctioned, caused the tar to overheat and boil out onto the asphalt, which then ignited the truck and trailer.
The heavy smoke forced the Ross store to be evacuated but there were no injuries.
The damage is estimated to be around $50,000.

England's Laura Massaro has beaten the world number 2 Raneem El Weleily in the final of the Carol Weymuller Open in New York.
Massaro played faultless squash to frustrate the Egyptian into making a string of errors.
From the off the English woman was dominant, finding great rhythm and hitting accurate length, racing into a 8-3 lead and despite a small comeback from Raneem to 7-9, Massaro took the first comfortably 11/8.
Laura continued to remain disciplined in the second, keeping Raneem deep, taking the ball well at the front and volleying to keep a strong T position, winning the second emphatically 11/4.
As the players headed onto the court for the third game, the crowd was left wondering if the talented Egyptian could force her way back into the match.
The third started the same for Laura, racing to a 6-2 lead the world number 3 was sticking to her game plan to frustrate the Egyptian. Raneem kept going for short shots, of which some were winners but too many ended up hitting the tin allowing for an ecstatic Massaro to take the title 11/8, 11/4, 11/5.
A happy Laura commented, "I'm really pleased to win the title. I was so happy with the way I played and I managed to stick to my game plan as well as I could. Raneem had such a good week and I knew it would be tough today so it makes it even more special to win!"


text: After playing around with the Tiled application a map editor I came across one major annoyance, currently I was only supporting tile properties this means I had to go and write a property for passability and priority on each and every tile in a tile set if I wanted to use it. This was a lot of unnecessary work. For example if I had lets say a tile set of trees I know all the tops of the trees are passable but they also need to draw on top of the player. with the old setup I would of had to add properties for each of the tiles. I am way to too lazy to do this and started to investigate the tiled program further. After a little search i located where you can set layer properties. I've quickly modified the engine to support layer properties. Now I can have a layer dedicated to just trees and not have to worry about setting the priorities for the drawing as the layer will already have a priority property to draw above the player. This would leave only 1 issue, Tree bases shouldn't draw above the player nor should they be passable so I have set the engine to take the tile properties over the layer properties.

"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority," wrote Marcus Aurelius, "but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane." And I would add that sometimes by standing aside from the ranks of the insane one runs the risk of being the object of unwelcome attention from the insane. But one does not have much of a choice in the matter: you are either sane or you are not. (Sanity, I should hasten to add, is a subjective matter and opinions would certainly differ on who is sane and who is not.) However, you can choose to keep your opinions to yourself instead of provoking people. I have to be vocal because how else can I oppose what I consider to be wrong. But this comes at a cost. Consider the fallout of my criticism of Satya Sai Baba's conjuring tricks.
One kindly gentleman whom I know wrote asking me to take down my blog post (Satya Sai Baba and the Confederacy of Criminals, and the follow up.) saying that it will injure the Hindu cause. I was summarily dismissed from a Yahoogroup called "hinducivilization." I used to basically lurk in the group and only very occasionally contribute an opinion or two from time to time. Not a great loss really but still it was a good way to feel the pulse of some very dedicated Hindu activists in India and abroad. I suspect that the only way the owners of that group could deal with dissent that they could not argue against was to shut it out. Good for them but bad for the cause.
It's time to explain what my position is and why.
I am against anyone whose actions hurt the Hindu cause because I am a Hindu. Hinduism (to use the commonly used word for the Sanatan Dharm) and the other Indic religions are dear to me and I will fight anyone who gives them a bad name.
In this post I will explain why I oppose people like Satya Sai Baba and why on balance what he did was wrong and should be opposed by thinking Hindus. He has empowered the enemies of Hindus and endangered Hindu causes. He was either a charlatan or a severely deluded person, neither of which can be celebrated. On balance, he has done more to discredit Hinduism and Hindus than the good he is reputed to have done.
SSB, as any of his millions of followers will remind you, had a following in millions. He was — and is — regarded as a "Hindu leader" by many more millions who are not his followers. What the non-followers saw was a person who was plainly hoodwinking people. I am sure that aside from the really stupid cognitively handicapped, even his followers would agree that he was basically tricking people into believing that he could materialize ash (for the poor) and valuable small objects (for the rich.)
SSB used cheap tricks which any half-assed stage magician can do much better. Sophisticated trained magician he was not. You can see numerous videos on Youtube that clearly show that SSB was a really poor — not in terms of how much money he made but in the quality of the performance — trickster. But he had a huge following of people who call themselves Hindus. That is ammunition to people who would like to discredit Hindus and Hinduism.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Hindus are smart people did you say? Really? They are taken in by a guy who can't even do simple stage magic without being detected, something that any two-bit magician can do for $50 for the entire evening's entertainment at a child's birthday party. Indians are not gullible, did you say? Really now. How on earth can you point fingers at our evangelizing preachers who fake-heal people at those rallies when one of your most famous 'godman' does lousy magic tricks and millions of Hindus hand over money to him?"
You reply, "But you are wrong. You are focusing on the magic tricks. Fact is that he built hospitals and delivered water to villages."
"Are you claiming that he materialized those hospitals and the water for villages? And the money for the doctors and medicines — did he materialize that also?"
You reply, "No, don't be silly. He told people that they should donate money for charity, and SSB used the money for getting all that done."
"So you mean that he tricked people into giving him money. That shows that Indians have the resources to build hospitals and deliver water to villages but they don't do it. The Indian government is incompetent and cannot get the resources from the people to do it. It also means that Indians have to be tricked into doing the right thing. They are gullible and mean. That's what we have been saying — you Indians are ethically challenged. It is very sad."
You reply, "You just don't understand, do you. You don't understand that our religion is really very good, and SSB used to give very deep lectures on how good it is. You just don't know."
"You are right that I don't know about your religion. But from what I see from what SSB did, it cannot be very profound or deep. I am an outsider and I have to draw conclusions from what I see from the outside. If he has to use cheap tricks to get people to cough up, the underlying message must be shoddy. Think about it for a moment. Had the message been good, would it require conjuring tricks for convincing people that he was a man with a valuable message? So I have to conclude that the message of Hinduism must be quite worthless since it requires what amounts to putting lipstick on it."
You reply, "I think you are being totally biased and unfair. SSB has very rich and powerful people as his followers. Very powerful politicians, even. One of the world's most famous cricketers — Sachin Tendulkar — is a devotee."
"Being rich and powerful does not mean that a person is wise, does it? Rich and powerful people often hang out and support each other in order to better fleece the powerless and the poor. In fact, it is a clever political ploy — to appear to be a great devotee of some powerful figure so that you gain the goodwill of followers and get political support. Can a politician really afford to alienate millions of potential voters by not appearing to be a follower also? My point is that SSB was a very smart man and must have known that using tricks was the only way to get his followers. I don't believe that he had any real message because if a message is valuable, you don't need tricks."
You reply, "What's wrong with you? Why are you fixated on tricks? All you have seen is a few minutes of YouTube videos. Do you know that videos can be doctored? Do you really believe all you see on videos? Have you seen any Star Trek movies? Do you think those aliens are real?"
"Forget those videos. Did SSB claim to have materialized stuff? If he did, then he has admitted that he was cheating because it goes against everything that is known about the universe we live in. If you believe that he could get stuff out of the air, you would have to believe that one can fly to the moon on a horse, that one can rise from the dead, and all the other "miracle" stuff. Then it is simply a matter of who claims to do more miracles. No wonder Christianity and Islam are getting converts — their stories have more miracles and the gullible Indians are converting. As I see it, SSB prepared the grounds for conversion by making the people believe the impossible, by not telling them to not be taken in by cheap tricks and inane fables."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
India is a large country and thousands of good people toil in total obscurity doing good work. They neither hobnob with powerful politicians, nor do they fool people into believing lies. Some of them educate people on the essentials of dharma, some work to undo the harm that the government does, some work to do the work that the government should have done but is too incompetent to do. Their work on the aggregate is much much bigger than what SSB ever did.
Agreed that SSB probably did not take all the money that he got from people and stash it away in foreign banks, unlike some of his politician followers. But you have to wonder — wouldn't it have been better if he had not lied and cheated people? About his lying and cheating there can be no debate since materializing ash and small valuable objects is impossible.
If he really was able to materialize anything, to show his powers he could have materialized something that is not currently within the power of humans to manufacture. He is supposed to have turned a bucket of water to a bucket of petrol by sticking his finger into it. To show that it was no ordinary trick, he could have stuck his finger into a medium sized lake — at least it would have shown us a way out of our dependence on foreign oil.
I am being accused of helping out the enemy. That is truly unbelievable. Firstly, I don't have followers — just a few people who read my blog. My message is that we need to clean up our act so that we are not ridiculed by others. Secondly, SSB has followers in the millions and therefore had the responsibility to behave ethically. What SSB did with those dirty tricks is provide our enemies with the ammunition they need to discredit Hindus, Hinduism and India.

Paul Quarrington and I are driving to Kingston to do readings at a prestigious book event. Close friends since 1965, we are an odd pair on this brilliantly sunny morning in the spring of 2008. Paul has this nagging cough, and a hoarse voice, which I assume to be singer's anxiety, as we were both slated to buttress our book readings with a handful of original songs. While I am physically healthy, I'm an emotional train wreck: going through what can kindly be described as an intensely manic period, talking faster than Howard Stern on speed. Leaving Toronto, Paul asks me a question about a certain bestselling female author's sexual proclivities. I enthusiastically venture an opinion. Or rather a soliloquy. I'm still talking, three hours later, as Kingston looms ahead. And no closer to answering.
"You feeling okay?" Paul finally asks.
"My shrink says I suffer from cognitive dissonance."
"Oh, you have a shrink!"
"Yeah, he said if I keep carrying on in lunatic fashion he's going to shut me down."
Paul squints back at me, impressed. Something about power struggles between creative maniacs and shrinks resonates with him. As per usual, he one-ups my shrink story with one of his own.
"Well, Danny boy, I wrote the longest erotic scene in the history of Canadian fiction and my two female editors marked up my pages with two complaints. 'Too much ball cupping. And the couples change positions too many times.' They pissed me off so much I ended up seeing a shrink. He told me, 'It's your book, with your name as the sole author, so write whatever you want.' " (Paul, a Governor General's Award-winning author, was smart and tough enough to keep his erotic passage intact, and went on to secure a Giller Prize nomination for this novel, Galveston.)
Once we get to city hall, Paul, weakened by three hours of coughing and listening to me prattle on, can't quite muster the strength to carry his gear. So I toss the two guitar straps over my shoulders and we make our way in. Because my real job is singing my songs to a paying audience, the notion of reading from my newly released book about my father and me and our complex relationship, while sharing the company of three esteemed authors, has me rattled. Fortunately, it's been arranged that we will sing in between readings. This calms me. Somewhat.
But my anxiety rockets when we hear the new plan. The reading and the singing will happen at separate times. In the music world, concerts unfold strictly according to plan. But, as I'd been finding out, in the book world things keep changing by the second.
"Damn Paul, that's not what was on the program. I can't read without the comfort of a guitar in my lap. I'm outta here."
"Don't worry, Danny, I'll take care of it."
No question Paul is the seasoned pro here. Book readings have played a big part in his life for 30 years. Minutes later, Paul strolls back. Problem solved. The reading and singing can go down during the same 20-minute performance.
After our sound check, Paul and I walk up to the anteroom. While I stand about awkwardly, and Adrienne Clarkson goes on to novelist Gil Adamson about how much Michael Ondaatje likes Gil's book, Paul disappears into the washroom. Fifteen minutes later, still no sign of him. Tapping gently on the door I ask, "You feeling okay?"
Minutes later Paul is on stage, riveting all of us with his opening scene from his latest novel, The Ravine.
"God, he's amazing!" Clarkson whispers, reaching out for my hand, while I shudder, recalling our boyhood in the Toronto suburb of Don Mills, where unspeakable traumas down by the creek and culvert were a rite of passage. Once Paul scares the bejesus out of me with his reading, I scramble onstage, still shaken, and we sing a duet version of Cat Stevens's Father and Son. The last time we'd performed it was in 1970, in a bar on Toronto's Jarvis Street, after we'd lied about our ages in order to get hired.
"You see that old lady throwing back the beers in the corner?" Paul asks.
"Notice how she groans in agony whenever you hit your high notes?"
"You're just jealous 'cause you can't sing as high as I can."
Our folksinging duo is called Quarrington/Hill. Paul is 16, a year older and with a lot more guitar tricks under his belt. But I can sing my ass off, and, like Paul, have a natural flair for lyric writing and chord slinging. So the two of us really click as a songwriting team. Alas, competitive as only teenage boys can be, we never miss an opportunity to take the piss out of each other: Paul needling me over my histrionic vocals while my brother Larry and I gang up to tell him rhyming to someone's name is cheating. "What about 'Michelle, ma belle'?" comes Paul's snappish comeback.

How to get into this industry with only sales experience and no degree currently
OI am 29 years old and the only thing I currently have is ad sales experience. I do not have a degree nor did I attend a prestigious university to get my measly 54 credits I currently have under my belt. So the question is with the way things have changed so much in this industry how do I even start to try to make my way into it?
I have really started to follow the markets and the financial news a lot more over the past two years but obviously that is not enough. I tried scouring Craigslist for potential broker jobs to at least have a starting spot. But it seems like all those jobs are scam companies or at least companies that have bad reps. But then again in today's day and age who doesn't?
So am I completely shooting to high here? Or can someone tell me just what my plan of action to start toward a career in the financial world is going to take?
Your first step would be
AMYour first step would be learning to use the search function.
First of all, what industry?
OFirst of all, what industry? Are you talking trading or investing or just being a stockbroker (yeck)?
Easiest way would probably be to go back to school and finish your degree.

Hi, I'm a new smoker, but have tried many cigars companies. Out of all the ones I have tried your's is the best. From the speed that I get my cigars to the cigar's pillow in every shipment. It has been a wonderful experience dealing with you. Also being new to cigar smoking the videos put out by your place are very helpful. Just wanted to let you guys know of the great job you and your people are doing. Thank You

I've been having problems with a xikar lighter. I found a neptune cigar site that solves lighter problems. I followed the instructions and now have a lighter I can count on.This lighter is now used every for everyday.I purchased a thundra and stratos lighter from neptune,and they stay in my "cigar" room where I can keep them safe from my buddys borrowing them. A big thank-youfor all neptune cigar does to help its customers.
Jim M.
Thank you for a quick delivery, I ordered a Xikar humidifier from you and several other items from Amazon days prior and your shipment has beat them all on timing and I just wanted to thank you for such quick processing.

I've being smoking cigars for many years and brought them from many places around the world. But let me tell you, you guys costumer service and care in shipping your goods is simply outstanding. The package including the humidifying pocket were just a prove of who goes that extra mile.

Neptune has the best prices and the best shipping. Fast Service. The cigars belong to my Husband, though the "smoke rings" belong to me. Great company!

I received an order today that I just placed less than a week ago. I was at first impressed with your web site, but now I had to write to thank you for your professionalism in product, shipping and packaging. I had only placed a small order for 10 cigars, but I am so impressed with the Cigar Superstore zip lock bag with a humi pack inside. Not all companies do this, and it adds a nice quality treatment to the order. Thank you for the cigars, fast shipping, and superior packaging. On a satisfaction scale of 1 - 10, my opinion is a 10, and I'll will be doing more business with you in the future. Thanks so much.
Great cigars and fast deliveries.
Robert H.

Dearest staff at Neptune Cigar, I am a member of the U.S Air Force currently stationed in Europe. My job is full of stress and some days I come home just beat from a hard day. The care you take in sending me cigars that are properly packed, well cared for and ready to smoke when received makes my life just a little bit easier. It reflects greatly upon your company and makes me very happy to continue ordering from you. Today was a remarkably tough day, but thanks to you I am able to sit and enjoy the Alec Bradley Prensado you put in the grab bag I recently purchased. Your dedication to what you do makes it all the easier to stay dedicated to what I do. From the bottom of my heart; thank you so very, very, much. You are truly top of your class.
Barron D.

Peter V.
I would just like to commend Neptune Cigar on your outstanding service and product. I am a soldier in the US Army currently stationed in Germany, and it is so hard to find quality retailers that will ship to APO addresses so that I can order cigars to me here in Europe. I recently ordered a humidor as well as some cigars, and they were shipped here quickly and were packaged beautifully and arrived in perfect condition in no time at all. I am happy that I have found a reliable cigar shop that I can buy from, even though I live on the other side of the world, and I will continue to make purchases from Neptune Cigar!!!
Joshua G.
I'm a first time customer and am more than impressed with your product and service. I have used other online vendors (at least 4) in the past and I have to say I've been the most pleased with your company compared to the others. Thanks again for giving me such a great experience -- I will be back!
Marcus S.
Hi I would just like to thank you for my order witch arrived today. The cigars look great (even after customs had them for 3 weeks),and i am looking forward to smoking them. I will be recommending your company to all my friends that smoke ... Happy New Year
Laurence G.
I want to thank you for the last batch of cigars. I ordered online and they were at my door in record time. Miami to Maine in four days.I did try one order with another company and it is moving in slow motion. NEVER AGAIN will I stray from what works for me.I thank you for letting me do business with you and the singles I order.I am much more than pleased.
Joseph R.
Received my cigars this morning. Very nicely packed! Very fresh! Thanks. You will hear from me in the near future.

Thank you for also going the extra mile to make special arrangements to send them to me here in New Zealand. I look forward to shopping with you again.

I ordered an Illusione make your own sampler on 5 Nov and just received the package today (7 Nov)! I love you! Just sayin'. I know now that I need to take a trip to your superstore in Miami. If this is how well you treat customers via your online site, I can only imagine the service I will get in the store. Thanks so much for such awesome customer service!
Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for such a great service, as usual. I wish I had ordered the Grab bags in the past, I am very pleased with them... Thanks again, to you and all at Neptune.
Hi Guys , just got my first order from you and wanted to just shoot you a quick note to say thank you cigars were packaged perfectly & shipping was super fast I will not only order again but i will tell everyone i know that they should be buying from you Thanks again Ian
Ian B.
Ordered to APO address and arrived within a week. Humidor was packaged very well and arrived unharmed. Each sampler was in its own storage with gel pack. Cutter came in a sturdy case with foam insert. Smoke rings are just a bonus, very impressed overall. Will definitely order again once these are smoked.
Hi all, A couple of weeks ago I ordered some Xikar HC Salomons from Neptune and used the guest checkout option. My first order with you all.. My two boxes came to me well packed and ahead of schedule. The cigars are great. Now I have created an account and will likely be a returning customer again and again, because of the great first impression you have made upon me. Great job! I found your website in search of hard to find cigars and you had stock, as well. Thanks again.
Rob A.
thanks for a very good service, the cigars are in toporder regards Leo Olsen australia
Leo O.
Wow, I was pretty mad, but this sign of customer service is outstanding. Thank you so much for trying to fix the problem. I understand the APO area is hard to get things there fast, but the fact you are willing to solve the solution is outstanding. Thank you for understanding. Because of this I am most definately going to remain a loyal customer.
Michael R.
Got the package. once again thanks a lot for your help and I repeat: YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!
Francisco S.
I just wanted to say I have ordered from Neptune Cigars three times and each time I have been impressed with the speed and care taken in shipping. Your excellent customer service combined with eide selection and cometetive pricing makes doing business with neptune a real pleasure.
Matt R.
Well I came across your trouble shooting tips page on the web just before I was about ready to give up and try to find someone to service my Rocky Patel branded lighter. I'm SO glad I did. The last tip on the list, checking the flame adjustment was all i needed to do to get my lighter working again. Thank you so much for publishing those tips. I also learned from the list that I'm to bleed the lighter when it is in its vertical and upright position. I was bleeding it in the inverted position, the same position used to refill it.
After my last order I couldn't be happier with the service or quality. Just wish I had found your site sooner, the last place I ordered a humidor from I've been waiting two weeks for it to ship and cant get any response from them on it.

Mountain biking in Bristol gets set for a makeover
With work starting on the mountain bike trails at Ashton Court plus the recent news that Cumberland Basin's pump track received planning permission, mountain biking in Bristol looks like it's gearing up for a bright future.
Here's the latest on both these projects:
Remodelled mountain bike trails for Bristol
As Better By Bike announced earlier this year, the Cycling City (Bristol City Council) and 1SW projects (Forestry Commission) are investing £400,000 to improve the mountain bike trails at Ashton Court and Leigh Woods, making them 'weather-proof' and suitable for everyone, from beginners to advanced mountain bikers.
Trail designers Architrail are working with contractors DMS to remodel the trails at Ashton Court. Diggers started arriving on site on Tuesday 3rd May (pictured right), with the Upper and Lower Quarry sections the first to be revamped.
Work at Leigh Woods is expected to start in June with contractor Clixbys. Work at both sites should be finished by October. During this time short sections of both trails will be closed although other parts of the trail will remain open. A piece on Architrail's Facebook page explains more:
"We're planning to work our way around the trail in stages with rolling trail closures, meaning that you'll still be able to come and ride parts of the Ashton Court trails during the build, just not all of them! We don't see there being a point where everything is closed, although the exact closure rate will depend on the prevailing weather conditions and their effect on the bedding in process.
"At least every Monday from now until the end of the build and bedding in period, we will be sending out updates on which trails are closed at that particular week. You'll be able to find these updates by looking on our Facebook page or by following us on Twitter. Search for us as @architrail or the hashtag #ashtoncourtmtb. We'll also be giving local bike shops the latest trail closure news every Monday, in case anyone asks them.
"It is vitally important that riders stay away from the closed sections until they are officially reopened. There are a few reasons for this; from a safety point of view we'll be working with heavy machinery such as diggers, dumpers, etc. Members of the public need to keep away from these as they would with any construction site. Secondly, the newly built sections of trail are quite delicate, until they've had a good chance to bed in and solidify. Any rider using a section of trail before it is officially reopened will damage the newly formed trail leading to lasting damage and reducing everyone's enjoyment of the Ashton Court Trails in the future."
Organisers have been in touch with organisers of Ritchey Bikefest (June 4th-5th) and Oktoberfest (October 15th) to ensure these events can go ahead without any disruptions.
The Forestry Commission are currently looking for corporate sponsors for both Leigh Woods and Ashton Court trails. Interested parties should make contact with Paul Hawkins via email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or telephone (07795 427 660). A sponsorship pack with more information can be found at the bottom of this page.
Keep in touch

New BMX pump tracks
During December 2010 we published a news item about the Cycling City proposals for two pump tracks in Bristol.
The site proposed at Cumberland Basin recently received planning permission and should see work start by September 2011, pending several secondary planning issues. A planning application for a proposed site at Eastville Park is currently live on Bristol City Council's planning portal. The council would like your views on this proposal.
For more about these projects please visit the Cycling City project information page at: www.betterbybike.info/bmx-tracks
Not sure what a pump track is?
Pump tracks are designed to get riders used to more advanced bike handling techniques, using berms and rollers to generate speed without the need to pedal. "Pumping" down at the right time turns riders' gravitional force into horizontal momentum.
If you'd like to see how it's done, professional mountain biker and pump track evangelist Mark Weir gives us a demo on his pump track in California, USA:
We'll have more news about these projects as work progresses throughout the summer months.

Marvin Humes Splits From Rochelle Wiseman
The Saturdays singer Rochelle Wiseman has split from JLS star Marvin Humes after an eight-month romance due to work commitments.
JLS star Marvin Humes has split from The Saturdays singer Rochelle Wiseman.
The 'Beat Again' hitmaker and the pop beauty decided to separate because their grueling work schedules meant they were spending less and less time with each other.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Marvin and Rochelle have decided to go their separate ways.
"Their work commitments mean they hardly see each other. It was a mutual decision to call time, they were like ships passing in the night."
The pair started dating in March before declaring each other "soulmates". They moved in together just four months later.
Rochelle, 21, and Marvin, 25, had got together after regularly seeing each other at concerts and award ceremonies.
But over the past few weeks Rochelle has been plugging The Saturdays' new single 'Higher', while Marvin has been travelling across Britain promoting the November 22 release of JLS' second album 'Outta This World'.
Although they have split up, the pair have been so busy they haven't had time to sort out living arrangements and Rochelle is said to still be living at Marvin's west London flat.
The source added: "They've both been too busy with their bands to move. But it will happen soon."
The couple had previously admitted they both thought each other was 'The One'.
Marvin told TV host Alan Carr: "I wouldn't be with her if she wasn't 'The One'."
Rochelle later admitted in a radio interview in July: "He's definitely 'The One'. This is a long-term relationship and I'm really excited. We're really happy."

Quigley season ends with high speed crash
11:00am Saturday 20th October 2012 in Sport
LUKE Quigley's British Superbikes season came to an abrupt end with a high-speed crash.
The Brierley Hill racer took a tumble while running 22nd on lap five of the first race at Brands Hatch last Saturday.
Quigley lost the front of his GB Moto Honda as he tipped into Paddock Hill Bend. Fortunately he slid clear of the bike as it cartwheeled through the gravel trap.
After initially suspecting he had dislocated his left shoulder, Quigley was able to walk away from the incident without any serious injury. Nevertheless, the decision was taken on Sunday morning that he would take no further part in the remaining two races.
Quigley said: "We decided that, unfortunately, I would not be fit enough to race on Sunday.
"Although the shoulder was not dislocated, it had strained the joint. It was sore and I didn't have the strength in it to throw a superbike around for two 20 lap races."
"Brands Hatch hasn't been very kind to me this season. The first round was cut short due to the conditions and then I missed the races last time we were he because of injury."
"It is obviously a shame for the season to end in this way. Everyone has worked really hard to try and make the whole package more competitive but we haven't been able to deliver the race results."

We go here often for weekend brunch, the food is good and the service is excellent. Staff are very friendly and courteous.

My wife and I go about once or twice a month for weekend breakfast. They have tasty omlettes, homemade hashbrowns, crispy bacon and robust coffee. Service is fast and we always leave feeling satisfied. Can't ask for more than that!!
With an early appointment taken care of this morning, we had time to spare for breakfast while in the West Shore area. Having not been to Jasmine's for a while, why not see how it is? We were greeted from "across the restauarant" and told we could sit anywhere; meanwhile, coffee was making its way to where we sat. Menus... More
Jasmine's is a delight to visit. Very fast and very good. Always busy but waiting is not long. Mostly good for breaky - later on is not so special. Because it is busy it is also very noisy.
I've eaten at Jasmine many times and the food and service are consistantly good and the prices fair. But I'd like to suggest to the owners to either lose the plant in the front entrance or clean it...it is very offputting to see as you walk in to eat and makes you wonder about the cleanliness in the rest of...

We came from Vancouver, took our elderly family out to Jasmines and were treated to a tasty, dinner, very well priced and had excellent service. We... More
Wait staff were courteous, friendly and most of all - attentive. Food is almost as good, but perfect for breakfast.
In England, the "local" is the pub. You are known by name, you feel part of the family and they know your favorite drink. Jasmine's restaurant is just like that. We go to this restaurant regularly and we're lucky because we live in the neighbourhood. But we know people who come regularly for breakfast who live more than half an... More
My hubby, family, and friends all frequent Jasmine's regularly. In all the years of going we have never once had an incorrect order, rudeness or slow service. It is a family run business, my family used to go to their place in Mayfair Mall before they moved ten years ago. The prices are good, the portions big, and a lot... More
Jasmine's is a great family restaurant the food is always tasty and delivered fast and hot.They have a light menu for the seniors which is very nice because it has the right amount of food.The service is great they always greet you, come to your table within three minutes to ask you what you want to drink, take your order...
