Hi. I was looking through some bootleg albums I have and found one that doesn't exist! I don't get it, it's not complete either but it's definitely Beatles. It's called, "Come Full Circle." The one I found very interesting on it was a cover of I'm Gonna Love You Too. I think it's really good. I can upload it to MediaFire if anyone wants to hear it.

I have six song from it (3 on each disc) but the ones on disc one aren't rare, they are all released songs. But the other one has I'm Gonna Love You Too, the Buddy Holly song, Fine Madonna, a mixture of Fine Line and Lady Madonna, and Twice In A Lifetime, which I haven't looked up yet. I'll upload them all.

Im interested to what it is yeah. Any chance you can post some more details, the cover, picture of the disc.
The mixture of Lady Madonna and Fine Line makes me wonder about its origins tho. Found a cover by Paul of Im Gonna Love You Too (there is also a shorter edit of this), is that what you have.

I found that too. That's not it though.

Thanks, Strawberry. I think Paul sings Twice in a lifetime beautifully, though I suppose it can't be called a Beatles bootleg. About I'm Gonna Love You Too... It's very interesting. But I'm not convinced at all that's it's the Beatles. I'm not experienced enough to compare their playing styles, but who is the lead vocalist supposed to be, John? It's certainly similar to him, but it sounds too "composed" and somehow not right... It could be him perfectly imitating Buddy Holly, though, not saying that, since apparently the Beatles were good in just that. And the guy singing in the background does sound like Paul (although it should be separated from the track to compare it more efficiently). I don't know what to think. I hope more people can give their opinions

Firstly thanks Strawberry for your willingness to share these songs as i like them all.
Im Gonna Love You Too is certainly not the beatles, i recognise the voice singing but cant put a name to it. Love the version, actually i love the song being a massive Buddy Holly fan, but its nice hearing it done differently.
(A bit of googling later brings it up and its Denny Laine, with Paul backing, taken from Holly Days, you can hear it here.)
Fine Madonna is one cool mash up, i think its using an early vocal from the beatles cuts but i could be wrong. Will certainly be added to my ipod.
Twice In A Life Time sounds like an early mix/version of the song that was included in the 1985 film of the same name and can be found on the Pipes Of Peace cd as a bonus track. One of the mid 80's Paul songs that doesnt make me cringe with embarrassment so am pleased to hear this.
Again thanks for these as i like all three songs. Have some apples , a and a .

I've heard a lot about integral water repellents for block. What are they and what is their purpose? Do I need to specify them in the mortar as well as the block?
We are working with two water sources. One is treated soft water. The other is hard water from a well with a hardness of about 450. Using the same mix, we have to add 6 to 7 liters more of hard water per cubic meter of concrete to obtain the same workability we get with the lesser amount of soft...

Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court is due to convene to discuss the newly elected president's call to reconvene parliament.
The move by President Muhammad Morsi came despite the Supreme Constitutional Court's own ruling to dissolve the legislature.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, meanwhile, held an "emergency meeting" shortly after the announcement by the Islamist president.
The official Middle East News Agency said the generals met to "review and discuss the consequences" of the decision.
Last month, the then-ruling military generals dissolved the legislature after the Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that a third of its members had been elected illegally.
Analysts say the showdown between Morsi and the generals threatens to plunge the country into fresh instability, nearly 17 months after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak.

From the Renaissance to the Baroque and beyond, the harpsichord has played an important role in the history of music.
In June, a retired Salem area music professor donated a hand-crafted harpsichord to Corban University. The instrument will be used to fill a musical void that was previously filled with a harpsichord borrowed from Salem First Baptist Church as needed.
"It's always been a private instrument and not played publicly," said Myra Brand, D.M.A., who also served as an adjunct music professor many years ago. "I knew that Corban needed a harpsichord and that it would be used to glorify God."
It was built by her husband, Malcolm, and was the first of two he built during the 1970s. It took more than a year to build each harpsichord, she noted. The instrument works when keys are depressed, which causes two chords to be plucked by a quill. The resulting sound is familiar in pre-18th century compositions.
The harpsichord will be used during the annual Christmas concert at Corban in December and at other music performances. Associate Professor of Music John Bartsch had spoken with Brand about the possibility of donating the instrument, and was excited when she agreed.
"I am so please we were able to receive this beautiful instrument," he said. "It really is an immeasurable blessing for our students and the program."
For Brand, the donation is more than just the addition of a new instrument for period musical performances, but also a connection to the past.
"One thing that excites me is that most Corban students likely have not even seen one, let alone had the opportunity to play it," Brand said. "This really is an example of history that you can see and hear and feel and experience."

Here's a peek at the inspiration board for a baby shower I'm styling in November. As you can probably guess, mom-to-be is having a girl! Chocolate-dipped strawberries and a pink & red palette were requested for the event, so I'm tentatively calling this theme "Berry Sweet".
Pictured at top: Camellia Tissue Paper Pom Set; Boughs of Whimsy gift wrap (the "inspiration piece" for the theme / will be used throughout the party); Rectangle Mod Pink/Red & Red Disc beaded curtains (for table runners & decorative accents), pink drinks with YUM! Stirrers; cupcakes by Whitney Burke; and sparkling Pomegranate Champagne Cocktails.
Pictured above: Digital mockups of concepts for the accent table arrangements – utilizing oversize red blooms, metallic fuschia vases embellished with gift wrap, pink swirl lollipops, and white mitsumata branches adorned with small red blooms and paper "leaves". {Ruby dahlias in white vase pic by Floral Art}
Pictured above: Red and White acrylic drop ornaments; a digital mockup of the table centerpieces (a grapewood branch adorned with oversize flower blooms – real & faux – and paper leaves… might add some crystal ornaments too); Boughs of Whimsy gift wrap; and a few sample elements for the Treat Bar… pink and red candies and chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Last but not least, here's a peek at the venue – Catch restaurant at the Casa del Mar hotel in Santa Monica. Pretty sweet, right?! (pun intented)
P.S. This theme would work great for a bridal shower or birthday party too! (Just swap out the word "BABY" in the signage with "BRIDE" or the the birthday girl's name.)
P.S.S. The font used for "BERRY SWEET" and "BABY" is called "JFFerrule".

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A southern Indiana church whose pipe organs have been destroyed by fire and rain is auctioning off sheet music that songwriter James Taylor donated to the church.
A charity auction website started is taking bids on the autographed sheet music of Taylor's song "Fire and Rain" that he gave to St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Jeffersonville.
Co-pastor Don Hill says the church's original 1894 pipe organ was destroyed by the Great Flood of 1937. A 1981 fire destroyed its replacement, along with the church's parish hall, and damaged its sanctuary.
The Victorian-style church will use money it raises from auctioning off the sheet music and other fundraising efforts to restore and install a donated pipe organ as part of a church restoration that began three years ago.

HURRELLCANE HITS THE COAST | The Gold Coast Titans have confirmed the signing of former Vodafone War...
8 hours ago - 1 Likes
Bulldogs forward Jamie Feeney will join teammate Dennis Scott in Melbourne next year after signing a three-year deal with the Storm today.
Melbourne?s third signing in less than a week - Scott, along with Manly prop Ian Donnelly committed to the Storm last Friday ? has further strengthened its forward stocks ahead of the 2005 season.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy sees 26-year-old Feeney as a well-rounded player that will compliment Melbourne?s list next season.
?Jamie is a talented player, he?s not a big forward but he?s quick, he?s got good leg speed and basically he?s got good skills, so he?s going to be a handy player for us,? Bellamy said.
?He?s been around for a while and I?ve seen him play quite a bit of footy, he?s a pretty impressive player.?
One of the NRL?s finest utilities, Feeney is a former Country Origin representative who has played over 100 first-grade matches since debuting for the Bulldogs in 1999.
?Obviously we?re losing a bit of experience here next year and like Dennis Scott, he?s a pretty experienced player,? Bellamy added.
?In the last 12 months or so he?s been on the bench so he?s keen to go to a club where he can get more time and while we can?t guarantee that to him, we?ll certainly give him that opportunity.?

Sheds are primarily used for secondary storage or as small workshops. They are closed off and protected from the elements and generally can be secured to prevent access. Residential-use sheds with floor plans less than 150 square feet may be placed on timber skids but must be properly anchored to provide stability and reduce susceptibility to overturning. No building permit or plans are required, and only one shed per lot is allowed without a permit.
To erect a shed that is greater than 150 square feet requires a permanent foundation. A Building Permit must be obtained, and site plans showing existing and proposed structure location(s), including well and/or septic (if applicable), must be submitted. Structural plans are also required.
Electrical work for sheds requires an application for an Electrical Permit by a Master Electrician licensed with Prince George's County.
If your home is located in a subdivision with a Homeowner's Association (HOA), a separate approval from the HOA may be necessary. Unless erected by the homeowner, all home improvement projects require that a contractor licensed with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission is used.
For applicable forms, visit Forms and Checklists.
The following plans are required to apply for a shed permit:

Click here for
Mayan Riviera
Snorkeling Locations
Tips and Info
Buckle Up!
When traveling you want to get the best exchange rates, save the most money, and feel safe and secure carrying your money for the trip.
What you do varies according to where you are going. For example if you are staying at an all-inclusive on the Mayan Riviera then you need not take the precautions that you would if you were back-packing around the countryside.
Your choices are ATM, cash, credit cards, and traveler's checks.
$2500 every 7 days with the gold card
$10,000 every 30 days with the platinum card.
NOTE: Keep ALL receipts from credit card purchases. It is a good idea to write on the receipt what you purchased as well as where you were.
For vacationers we recommend cash/credit cards. You need cash for making purchases, especially if you want to bargain. There are also numerous small exchanges that will take place and you will need cash for this. For major items use a credit card. Taxi cabs and the collectivo require cash.
For explorers we recommend cash/credit card/ American Express travelers' checks. You need cash of course. But keep the majority of it at all times in travelers' checks. Use the credit card for emergencies.
Those with bank accounts in Canada or the US can use their bank to send money abroad via bank wire service. Money is transferred electronically from one bank to another. Wire transfers usually cost around $45, regardless of the amount of money being sent, plus an additional charge for converting dollars into pesos.
To send money by wire transfer, the sender must have a Canadian or US bank account and the recipient must have a Mexican bank account. The sender must provide:
1. the name of the bank in Mexico which will receive the money
Depending on the banks, which send and receive the money, this transaction usually takes one or two days.
A C-Draft is a form of money order, which is purchased at a bank. There is a minimum fee charged by the bank [it begins at around $11] and increases with the amount of money sent, plus a charge for converting to pesos.
To buy a C-Draft, the sender should give to the bank:
1. the name of the bank in Mexico which will receive the money
The Canadian/US bank then issues a C-Draft to the sender, who then mails the C-Draft to the recipient in Mexico.
Once the person in Mexico receives the C-Draft in the mail, he or she can collect the amount indicated on the draft.
If the document is lost, the sender can recover the money from the bank at which the C-Draft was issued.
A cashier's check costs around $3 at most banks, plus a charge for the currency exchange.
To buy a cashier's check, the sender should give the bank:
1. the name of the person who will receive the money and
The person who receives the cashier's check must present it to a Mexican bank, which will not cash the check until it can verify the transaction with the foreign bank. This process sometimes takes several days.
Regardless of the amount being sent, debit card transactions cost around $1, plus a charge for the currency exchange.
To send money by debit card, the sender must have a Canadian or US bank account and must obtain from the bank at least two debit cards, one for the sender's personal use and one for the use of the recipient in Mexico. The sender needs only to provide the recipient with the card and the confidential PIN number.
If you do not have a bank account, money can also be sent through the mail in the form of an international money order. This can be purchased in any Post Office, which charges $3 for every $500 being sent, plus a fee for the currency exchange.
To buy a money order at the post office, the sender must provide:
1. the name and the address of the person who will receive the money
The sender mails the money order to the recipient in Mexico, who must then present the money order to a bank in Mexico in order to receive the money.
There is a delay of a few days before the money order can be cashed, while the Mexican bank confirms the transaction with the institution, which issued the money order.
Senders may also send money to Mexico via , which offers two types of electronic transfer.
Money in Minutes costs a minimum of $16, increasing with the amount of money being sent, plus a charge for currency exchange. To send money this way, the sender should go to a Western Union agency and provide the agent with:
1. the name, address, and phone number of the recipient in Mexico

Zapata, Emiliano (1877-1919) was a legendary Mexican revolutionary leader and agrarian reformer. Born in San Miguel Anenecuilco in Morelos State, an illiterate tenant farmer of almost pure Indian blood, he recruited an army of Indians from villages and haciendas in Morelos. Under the rallying cry Land and Liberty they joined the Mexican revolutionist Francisco Madero in the 1910 revolt against the Mexican soldier-statesman Porfirio Díaz.
Madero assumed presidency in 1911 however Zapata and his followers soon rejected Madero who failed to uphold his word. Zapata then formulated his agrarian reform plan; known as the Plan of Ayala. This plan called for the land to be redistributed among the Indians.
With the Mexican revolutionary general Francisco [Poncho] Villa, Zapata marched on Mexico City, entering it the first of three times in 1914. The following year Zapata withdrew to Morelos where, still resisting, he later was ruthlessly assassinated by an agent of Carranza, a lowly Mexican statesman.
Although regarded as a pillaging bandit by his enemies, Zapata was idolized by the Indians as a true revolutionary reformer and hero; his life has inspired countless legends, movies and books. Viva Zapatista!
Juarez, Benito Pablo (1806-72), national hero and president of Mexico (1861-63 and 1867-72).
Juarez was born of Indian parents on March 21, 1806, near the town of Oaxaca and was educated in law.
He became governor of the state of Oaxaca in 1847 but was imprisoned when the Mexican general Antonio de Santa Anna seized the national government in 1853.
He escaped to the U.S. but returned to Mexico in 1855 to take part in the revolution that overthrew Santa Anna.
Juarez became minister of justice in the newly established government and instituted a series of reforms that were embodied in the constitution of 1857.
In 1858 Juarez became provisional president after the outbreak of a revolt but soon afterward he was forced to flee the national capital, Mexico City, and established a new seat of government in Veracruz. He initiated a number of sweeping reforms, including the reduction of the civil power of the Roman Catholic church by confiscating ecclesiastical property. He defeated the opposing forces in 1860 and 1861 then established his government in Mexico City where he was constitutionally elected president.
After five years of civil war and facing economic chaos Juarez suspended payments to foreign creditors. France, Spain, and Great Britain intervened, and landed troops at Veracruz. Juarez reached a settlement with Great Britain and Spain; those countries withdrew from Mexico, but the French remained and captured Mexico City.
Maximilian, archduke of Austria, the puppet of Emperor Napoleon III of France, was crowned emperor of Mexico in 1864. Juarez then moved his capital to the north and continued military resistance until Maximilian's government fell in 1867.
Juarez returned to Mexico City and was reelected president. Juarez died of apoplexy on July 18, 1872, in Mexico City. He is regarded as one of the greatest heroes in Mexican history.
Morelos y Pavón, José María (1765-1815), Mexican priest, who led the independence movement after the execution of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.
Morelos was born in present-day Morelia, Michoacán. Ordained in 1797, he was a parish priest until he joined Hidalgo's rebellion in 1810. Given a military commission, he soon gained control of a wide territory in central Mexico and by 1812 he was recognized as the leader of the rebellion.
He and his troops captured Acapulco in 1813. Later that year he sponsored the Congress of Chilpancingo, which issued a declaration of independence, promulgated a constitution. Morelos was appointed generalissimo of the insurgent government.
Royalist forces captured him in November 1815, convicted of heresy and defrocked by the Inquisition, he was then turned over to the church and executed.
Nezahualcoyote was the son of Ixtlilxóchitl, King of Texcoco from 1409 until 1418. Defeated in battle by Tezozómoc, Ixtlilxóchitl retreated to the jungle where his enemies pursued him. A valiant struggle ensued when he was found and he was killed in full view of his young son, Nezahualcoyote, who was hiding in a tree. This heir to the throne of Texcoco managed to escape the soldiers of Tezozómoc and found sanctuary across the mountains to the east.
As legend has it Tezozómoc had his soldiers ask every child in Texcoco, 'Who is your king?' When the little children answered either 'Ixtlilxóchitl' or 'Nezahualcoyote,' they were immediately butchered.
Several thousand children were put to death before parents taught their children to fear the name of Tezozómoc. In 1420, at the age of one hundred, Tezozómoc died and Nezahualcoyote came to rule the city of Texcoco until 1472.
To a considerable extent Texcoco's strength was owing to the legacy of Nezahualcoyote. Not only was he renowned for his military exploits, Nezahualcoyote is recalled for his cultural refinement. Renowned for his philosophical verse, this "Poet King of Texcoco" was also a wise legislator and an impartial judge. In addition he was also an engineer who was instrumental in the construction of the great aqueduct, which brought water to Tenochititlán from the mainland and of a long dike across the lake.
He was a scholar and book collector, his Texcoco, "the Athens of Anáhuac," had libraries housing thousands of manuscripts.
Nezahualcoyote died in 1472 and is remembered as one of the great Indian Kings.
Juana Inès de La Cruz (1651-95), Mexican poet and scholar.
She was born in San Miguel and largely self-educated. She learned to read at the age of three. In her teens, she served as a lady-in-waiting at the court of the viceroy of New Spain. She was renowned for her beauty, wit, intelligence, and learning. After several years, she abandoned her court lifestyle to become a nun.
As a nun, Juana de la Cruz studied theology, literature, history, music, and science. She wrote poetry that earned her the sobriquet "The Tenth Muse". Her writings, comprising lyric and allegorical poems and religious and secular dramas, were published in Spain between 1689 and 1700.
Ignacio Zaragoza was the Mexican general commanding the Mexican troops in the battle against the French.
Shortly after the Spanish and British troops withdrew their armies from Mexico, the French army, began to march inland on its war of occupation. In Puebla a decisive battle was fought and won by General Zaragoza'a brave soldiers.
The dejected French invaders, many veterans from more glorious days in Crimea war, retreated to lick their wounds in Orizaba.
May 5 - Cinco de Mayo - would be added to the national calendar of holidays in honor of the great Mexican victory.
Mexicans won the battle of Puebla that day, the French returned a year later with thirty thousand fresh troops, and after encircling Puebla and reducing the city to rubble with heavy bombardment, finally captured Puebla.

Live To Dance: Season Finale Preview
February 09, 2011 07:30 AM by Allyson Wells
Paula Abdul's reality show, Live To Dance, wraps up with the season finale this week. After the last six acts danced for judges Paula, Kimberly Wyatt and Travis Payne, it is anyone's game as to who will win the $500,000 prize.
One of the best parts of Live To Dance was the wide variety of dance styles, especially during the finals. The dance final featured abstract dance group Twitch, large modern group The Vibe, ballet duo White Tree Fine Art, all men's group Dance Town Chaos, young ballroom couple D'Angelo and Amanda, and the only soloist of the group, Kendall Glover. The contrast of styles and age was exactly what Paula had envisioned to showcase on her show.
The judges seemed impressed with every act, and almost every act earned all gold stars from the judges. Ballet act White Tree Fine Art has been a judge and audience favorite throughout the season. However, in this competition, the audience determines the winner. Twitch, D'Angelo and Amanda and Kendall Glover were all voted into the finals by the audience.
Because all of the acts danced their best, I predict a very close finish. While the judges raved about all the dancers, Paula told D'Angelo and Amanda that they were her favorite after their flawless tango. Travis also told them that they were the future of ballroom dance. I believe it will come down to D'Angelo and Amanda or Kendall Glover. The audience gave them both standing ovations and viewers have been their fans since the show started.
Tune in to CBS at 8 pm to see more dancing, highlights of the season and the unveiling of the first Live To Dance winner!

News: Marines, sailors support beach cleanup
Story by Cpl. Jennifer Pirante
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Though it didn't seem quite like beach weather on this foggy Saturday morning, the Marines and sailors at Camp Pendleton made sure to keep their shores clean of trash and litter.
More than 100 Marines, sailors and family members volunteered to pick up trash along the sand at the Del Mar Beach Resort at Camp Pendleton, Calif., April 21.
"In spite of the weather and the fog, we're thrilled with the turn-out," said Liz Belding, Barefoot Wine & Bubbly area manager for Southern California.
The cleanup took place in light of Earth Day, April 22, and a general get-together for Marines, sailors and family members to think about the environment, she said.
Among the Marines who participated was Brig. Gen. Vincent Coglianese, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations West, who walked along the beach with his wife Mary.
"We're approaching the summer time, so it's a good deal," Coglianese said. "We're proud of our military installations and it's a good event to teach young people about community service responsibilities."
The Barefoot Wine & Bubbly supplied the volunteers with large garbage bags, plastic gloves and shirts. After the cleanup, they provided snacks and pizza to thank the volunteers.
"We do more than 25 beach cleanups across the country each year and this is the third year we've supported Camp Pendleton in doing a beach cleanup," Belding said. "Despite how beautiful the beaches are, there is always something that can be done. If you pick up a few pieces you're just helping the environment and keeping the beach a little bit nicer for the next person."

Customer Reviews
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 14, 2008Reviewer: Anthony in New YorkI take Carbo Gain before and after a workout session. It helps cut down lactic acid or muscle pain/soarness. You can not drink this straight though! I did once and it was awful, but once I mixed it with Kool-Aid it was awesome.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 23, 2007Reviewer: Michael in GeorgiaGreat, inexpensive post workout drink. Mix it with sugar free lemonade or some other drink mix to give it some flavor.
September 15, 2009Reviewer: Jacob in New JerseyThis is just straight up maltodextrin, so not much to review. There isn't much taste unlike the sugary sweetness of dextrose. However, it makes for a slower release of carbs and is great mixed with protein powder and dextrose after a workout. I tried to find maltodextrin in a smaller size, but it doesn't seem to go bad if you keep it sealed and dry. My only major complaint is that it clumps up easily, but I don't' mind the clumps too much.

Will shares in Pearson (LSE: PSON) help you build a FTSE-beating retirement fund?
The last five years have been tough for those in retirement. Portfolio valuations have been hammered and annuity rates have plunged. There's no sign of things improving anytime soon, either, as the eurozone and the UK economy look set to muddle through at best for some years to come.
A great way of protecting yourself from the downturn, however, is by building your retirement fund with shares of large, well-run companies that should grow their earnings steadily over the coming decades. Over time, such investments ought to result in rising dividends and inflation-beating capital growth.
In this series, I'm tracking down the UK large-caps that have the potential to beat the FTSE 100 (UKX) over the long term and support a lower-risk income-generating retirement fund (you can see the companies I've covered so far on this page).
Today, I'm going to take a look at Pearson (LSE: PSON) (NYSE: PSO.US), the educational publishing company that also owns the Financial Times and Penguin.
Pearson has proved a good investment for its shareholders, outperforming the FTSE 100 over the last 10 years:
Source: Morningstar
(Total return includes both changes to the share price and reinvested dividends. These two ingredients combined are what make it possible for equity portfolios to regularly outperform cash and bonds over the long term.)
Pearson's 10-year average trailing total return shows that it has stayed ahead of the FTSE 100 and suggests that it could be a good retirement share.
To help me pinpoint suitable investments, I like to score companies on key financial metrics that highlight the characteristics I look for in a retirement share. Let's see how Pearson shapes up:
Source: Morningstar, Digital Look, Pearson
Here's how I've scored Pearson on each of these criteria:
A report on Bloomberg this week suggests that Pearson might sell the Financial Times, although the company has not made any official comment.
Whatever the case, Pearson's investment appeal is likely to remain, as the group's main source of profit is its educational publishing business, which accounts for about 75% of revenue and profit. Of the remainder of the company's divisions, the FT Group and book publisher Penguin each contribute about 12% of profits, although Penguin's revenues are double those of the FT Group, highlighting the latter's profitability.
Pearson is focused on improving the profitability and growth of Penguin, and last week announced the division would combine with Random House to create the "world's largest consumer publishing organisation". Random House is owned by German media giant Bertelsmann and the companies believe the joint venture will help them expand their share of the digital publishing market and gain better access to faster-growing emerging markets.
As a retirement share, Pearson has several attractions.
Its longevity and steady growth is reassuring and its dividend growth history is excellent; the dividend has grown every year since 2003 (the earliest figures I could find) and this year's forecast dividend of 44.5p per share is almost double 2003's total dividend of 23.7p per share.
Shares that provide this kind of reliable income growth are few and far between, but are ideal if you need a retirement income from shares, as they will help your pension stay ahead of inflation.
Doing your own research is important, but another good way of identifying great dividend-paying shares is to study the choices of successful professional investors.
One of the most successful income investors currently working in the City is fund manager Neil Woodford, who manages more money for private investors than any other City manager. Neil Woodford's dividend stock picks outperformed the wider index by a staggering 305% in the 15 years to 31 December 2011.
The good news is that you can learn about Neil Woodford's top holdings and how he generates such fantastic profits in this free Motley Fool report. Many of Mr Woodford's choices look like excellent retirement shares to me and the report explains how he chose some of his biggest holdings.

Nature Inc - Series 2: Episode 4
10 February 2012, 12:00
Industrial farming has discarded genetic diversity in favour of a handful of high-yielding monocultures. But these exhaust the soil and are vulnerable to crop diseases and pests that genetic diversity protects against. Now some agribusinesses and farmers are seeing sustainable profits and productivity in encouraging crop diversity. Nature Inc. focuses on the humble potato in its home in the High Andes and in Africa and Asia to see how going back to long forgotten varieties can improve food security and on farm profits. As one scientist enthuses: 'it is one sexy tuber.'

The Kardashians
Lamar Odom Seen "Smiling," Looks "Normal" After Leaving Rehab — Report
Lamar Odom has been spotted out in public for the first time since leaving rehab, and Khloe Kardashian's estranged husband is looking upbeat and just like "his normal self," according to a new report from E! Online.
On September 4, People wrote that Lamar had checked into rehab for drugs and alcohol abuse. The pro basketball player reportedly has a crack cocaine addiction and was arrested for a DUI as recently as August 30 after refusing to take any chemical tests for illicit substances.
But here's the thing. No one seems to know for sure if Lamar actually went to rehab or not. He might not have ever checked in, or he may have checked in and then almost immediately checked out. The latest report is that Lamar is receiving treatment, but not at a rehabilitation facility.
But whatever the case, E! is now reporting that Lamar was spotted out having tea and miso soup with a male friend at the Japanese restaurant Octopus in Hollywood. An eyewitness says he was "smiling," and "very nice and polite."
Another source tells E! that Lamar was acting like "his normal self" the entire time, even stopping to sign an autograph for a fan. "He was in a good mood and did not seem down at all," the source insists.
We hope this is a sign that Lamar is doing well, and that things are looking up in his life and his relationship with Khloe. Our thoughts go out to everyone during this difficult time.

Way back when I started teaching art for the local people in our community, I had to teach them about colour. That in itself, is a science you have to understand and experiment with until you instinctively know which colour to use for the desired effect.
Living in a small town community we had limited access to art materials now, any artist would know when the urge to draw hits you, you can't wait. You have to (in my case) put pencil to paper. My only regret with this work is that I didn't use proper art colour pencils but ordinary stationery. These form a waxy layer and the result is that you can't get the intensity of colour you want. When next we had a trip to the city, I bought myself a proper set of Derwent colouring pencil's.
So here she is, a practical lesson in drawing and colour…

Russian military rolls into Crimea
Ukraine | President Barack Obama issues a stern warning as Kiev braces for a possible invasion
After a period of silence, officials in Moscow have confirmed the movement of Russian military forces into Crimea, in southern Ukraine.
The semi-autonomous peninsula is home to Russia's Black Sea Fleet and Russian authorities say the move is necessary to protect their ships from unrest in the region. Interfax-Ukraine is reporting that "unidentified soldiers carrying what appear to be Russian equipment and weapons" have taken control of airports in Sevastopol and Simferopol. "There are reports that the air traffic control company Krymaerorukh, which controls the airspace over Crimea, has been seized by soldiers in Russian uniform. There are reports that Russian Black Sea Fleet missile boats are blockading the Ukrainian Coast Guard station in Balaklava Bay," the site said. "Hosting providers are not answering telephone calls."
Clashes between pro-Russian activists and pro-Ukrainian Tatars broke out in Crimea several days ago when protesters stormed government buildings and raised the Russian flag.
The move was a reaction to widespread and lengthy protests in Kiev that left nearly 100 people dead and thrust former President Viktor Yanukovych from power. The former leader fled Kiev on Feb. 22 and remained in hiding for several days. His discovery in Russia drew anger from Ukrainians who say he is responsible for the brutal and deadly actions of local riot police, as well as widespread corruption.
The former leader made his first public appearance to reporters in Russia today, defiantly condemning Kiev's interim government.
Many Ukrainians fear Moscow's incursion into Crimea, which used to belong to Russia, is only the beginning. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been trying to lure Ukraine back into its orbit through massive bailout packages and gas deals. The successful revolution near its border is a threat to Moscow's geopolitical vision and Putin's authoritarian rule.
Mychaillo Wynnyckyj, a professor from Kiev, said on Facebook that he is concerned about the Russian incursion: "If Russian forces enter there, they may also be invited into Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk. And then Europe will have a Syria on its eastern border."
Kostya Farkovets lives in Donetsk, northeast of Crimea near Ukraine's Russian border. He called Moscow's actions an "outrageous act of armed invasion" in a sovereign state.
"Ukraine's diplomats have already formally contacted the United States, Great Britain, and Russia as guarantors of our sovereignty per Budapest's treaty of 1994 when Ukraine gave up its own nuclear weapons to confirm their individual commitments," Farkovets told me. "The next couple of days and nights are going to be very crucial for Ukraine and unfortunately uneasy for all of us."
During a late afternoon press conference, U.S. President Barack Obama told reporters at the White House he was very concerned about Russia's actions. And he had a blunt warning for Putin: "There will be costs" for any military intervention in Ukraine.

Society statement on DSM-5
The Society has today (13 December 2011) released a statement expressing concerns regarding the proposed revisions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association, which is one the main internationally-used classification systems for diagnosis of people with mental health problems in clinical settings and for research trials.
The Society for Humanistic Psychology (Division 32) of the American Psychological Association (APA) has recently published an open letter to the DSM-5 taskforce raising a number of concerns about the draft revisions proposed for DSM-5 and citing a number of issues raised previously by the BPS.
In its statement today, the Society shares the concerns expressed in the open letter from the Society of Humanistic Psychology (Division 32) of the APA and encourages members of the Society to read the letter themselves and consider signing the petition.
David Murphy, Chair of the Society's Professional Practice Board said:
"The Society recognises that a range of views exist amongst psychologists, and other mental health professionals, regarding the validity and usefulness of diagnostic frameworks in general and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, in particular.
"However, there is a widespread consensus amongst our members that some of the changes proposed for the new framework could lead to potentially stigmatizing medical labels being inappropriately applied to normal experiences and also to the unnecessary use of potentially harmful interventions.
"We therefore urge the DSM 5 taskforce to consider seriously all the issues that have been raised and we would echo the American Psychological Association's call for the taskforce to adhere to an open transparent process based on the best available science and in the best interest of the public".
You can read the Society statement in full online.
I have just glanced at DSM-5 American Web Document and have points to consider unless the proposals have gone ahead already for Great Britain.
1. There is a prolific amount of disorders. Does this mean that these exhibited behaviours are considered as a permanent health problem or just being unwell and can be treated ?
2. Is there a continuum which describes ' Normal' behaviours as well, as it seems to me that most people would perhaps experience some of these traits at least once in there life time if under stress.
3. What about people with learning difficulties, are they catered for in this proposal ?
4. Are environmental conditions taken into account in various circumstances?
Please Reply, Best Regards,
Julie Simpson MacLure MA(Honours) MEd MBPsS
We need less labels not more. I agree wholeheartedly with the Society's statement.

Crime Prevention Memo
This was an email sent to all enrolled students at Kettering University on 4/23/14:
Dear Students:
Springtime and daylight saving time signal longer days and lots of evening activities; a good time to remind ourselves of important safety tips to keep you and the Kettering community safe. Take a few moments to read this email so you are familiar with our Campus Safety resources and the steps you can take to protect yourself and your belongings.
Safety Information & Tips:
Travel after Dark: We recommend everyone travel in pairs after nightfall. Walk and park in well-lit areas and remain alert to your surroundings.
Personal Safety: If you feel threatened or observe suspicious activity, call Campus Safety immediately. Add Campus Safety to your cell phone contacts now so you may call them anytime. Contact the Service Center by calling (810) 762-9501 [or "0" from any campus phone]. Also, all parking lots feature blue-light emergency call boxes that connect with Campus Safety.
Safety Escorts: Campus Safety will escort you from anywhere on campus to any location within a one-mile radius of the University. Call the Service Center and request an officer meet you at your current location. Or, stop by the Service Center and request an escort. An officer will walk or drive you to your next destination.
Kettering Alerts: If you have not already done so, sign up for Kettering Alert, our cell phone and email emergency notification system. Kettering Alert allows us to communicate with you on a moment's notice should "imminent danger" threaten your safety. We use Kettering Alert only in cases where Campus Safety or local law enforcement recommends you take pre-emptive action to protect yourself against things like criminal activity, fire, hazardous spills, and extreme weather conditions.
To sign up for Kettering Alert, log in to Banner Self Service, click on "Personal Information" and "Kettering Alert." Follow the prompts to sign up or change your contact information.
Emergency Contact Information: While in Banner Self Service, take a moment to verify or update emergency contact information. The University uses this information only in cases where you cannot speak for yourself. We do not share it with anyone except official emergency responders, such as the Flint Police or emergency responders.
ID Card Access:
Carry your ID card with you at all times so you have access to buildings when you need it. All campus buildings are locked 24/7 except the front doors of the Campus Center and the Recreation Center.
Safety Tips
Follow these safety tips to protect yourself and your possessions.
- Stay alert and trust your instincts.
- Always use well-lighted roads, sidewalks, and walkways.
- Don't leave your personal property unattended, including in your car.
- Use locks: on your car, your room in Thompson Hall, or your rental unit.
- Never travel alone, particularly after dark. If you must be out alone or in a small group after dark, please use our Escort/Shuttle Service, which you may contact 24/7 at (810) 762-9501. Program this number into your cell phone now so you have it available at all times.
- Use our Safety Escort/Shuttle Service: Campus Safety officers will escort students, faculty, and staff to any point on campus, or within a mile radius of campus, at any time to ensure their safety. All you need to do to request the service is call Campus Safety at 762-9501, or press "O" from any campus telephone. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this service whenever doing so will ensure your comfort and security, particularly after dark. For example, if you are on campus late into the night, and need to get to your car, call Campus Safety, tell them what door you will be exiting, and they will send a patrol to the lot. Or, alert an existing patrol officer to watch you or accompany you to your car. (Note that Escort/Shuttle Services exists to protect members of our community; it is not a means of local transport for any other reason.)
- All Kettering students who live off campus should insist their property owners install and maintain security devices, including an alarm system, outside lights over all potential entry points, tamper-proof locks on all doors and windows, and peepholes in exterior doors. Shrubs and bushes should be trimmed and maintained so as not to provide cover. Contact the property owner of your rental unit and insist s/he provide these safety features. Also, signs advertising rental units should be removed. They not only advertise where students live, which attracts criminals; the signs also violate City of Flint building codes.
What to Do in Case of an Emergency: Call 9-1-1 from your phone or a campus phone. Calls to 9-1-1 from your phone will route you to Flint's central dispatch office. Calls to 9-1-1 from campus telephones are routed to the Campus Safety desk. The Campus Safety desk officer will contact the Flint Police Department or other emergency responders as circumstances warrant.
File a Report on any Incidents that Occur: Please report all on- and off-campus personal or property incidents through our Campus Safety Incident Report System. This page is also available as a link named "Crime and Incident Report Form" on the main "Campus Safety" page or on the "Current Students" page under "Campus Life." We follow up on all incidents directly with all individuals making a report and, when appropriate, with local authorities. Reporting all security related incidents is important because these reports make it possible for us to track as well as to anticipate criminal activity. They also help us to connect affected individuals to campus resources that may be of assistance to them, such as the Wellness Center.
Thanks for reading this long email. We believe the information here will serve you well and help us create a safe and secure campus; one that reflects our commitment to your personal safety, as well as our desire to promote respect, fairness, and equity among all members of the Kettering community.
Betsy Homsher
Vice President of Student Life and Dean of Students
Jim Benford
Director, Campus Safety
