What Is 24/7 Fat Loss?
The 24/7 Fat Loss review shows that the 24/7 fat loss program is a cutting-edge rapid fat loss system that combines the hormone regulating power of Strategic Overfeeding, Carb Syncing, and Nutrient Combining with the metabolism increasing power of brand new fat-incinerating Metabolic Resistance Training workouts into a 8-week fat loss system. This program also helps your body burn the excessive fat every single hour a day. The program was successfully created by Joel Marion and Craig Ballantyne who are body transformation coaches in New Jersey. Its effectiveness has been proven over the time by helping many overweight clients get their lean trim bodies back.
What Will You Get From This Program?
The complete 24/7 Fat Loss system includes 9 components:
– The Diet Manual: This component lists out everything you should know about the diet such as what to eat, when to eat it, charts, tables and detailed food lists, …
– The Training Manual: This one utilizes the most revolutionary workouts ever created.

What Will You Learn From The 24/7 Fat Loss?
Inside the program, you will learn these following things:
Optimized Nutrient Combining: You already know that you should eat enough proteins, fibrous carbohydrates and healthy fat every day. However, you may not know that you should combine those nutrients suitably; otherwise, your body cannot digest them all. Your goal is to avoid the excessive fat stored in your body, so you should not eat foods that contains much fat.
– Carb Syncing: The key to fat loss is learning to eat carbohydrates only when your body can handle them best. You do not need to avoid eating them completely as the popular belief. The best time to eat carbs is in the morning or after intense exercise.
– Strategic Overfeeding: When you decrease your calorie intake, your body responds by decreasing levels of fat burning hormones as an anti-starvation mechanism. You can reset your metabolism with high calorie cheat days. You can eat cake while watching your waistline.
– Metabolic Resistance Training: Exercises cannot help you lose much fat, but metabolism power is different. You should combine the hormone-regulating power of Carb Syncing, Optimized Nutrient Timing, and Strategic Overfeeding with the metabolism power of Metabolic Resistance Training to see how fast your body can burn the fat.
How Much Does It Cost?
The entire program costs only $47.00. This is a reasonable price in comparison to what you have to pay your doctor for each time you visit him. With only $47.00, you will have the whole program in hand and you can use it whenever and wherever you wish to. Order it now to see how useful it is.

Malmesbury resident Tracey Tucker has thanked emergency services for rescuing her from her home after flood waters rushed in early this morning.
Ms Tucker, 39, was trapped in her home at the almshouses in St John's Street and called out to firefighters in the street outside.
She said: "I couldn't get the door open because of the pressure of the water. I suffer with asthma and I could feel an attack coming on.
"I went up to the first floor and shouted down to the firemen, explaining that I couldn't get out."
Fire officers managed to open the door wide enough for Ms Tucker to squeeze out and they led her to safety through the flood that has turned the path to her house into a raging torrent.
She said: "They were brilliant. There was an ambulance there and they took me to the Rose & Crown where they gave me a nebuliser. It was all a bit terrifying."
Ms Tucker soon recovered from her attack and when the waters receded enough, she was able to go back and see the damage that had been wrought.
She said: "It all started at about 2.30am when someone knocked at my door and told me I should move my car as the water from the river was rising very fast.
"Then, at 5.30am, I was up to my knees in flood water. The ground floor was three feet deep.
"Everyone has been brilliant. My landlord has arranged for me to stay at the Kings Arms while the house is sorted out."
Ms Tucker's partner, Stuart Causer, said: "It has been a real community effort. The Rose and Crown were serving teas and coffees and giving people a place to sit and get warm."
Paul Kershaw, who lives in Lower High Street, is another resident who will be counting the cost of heavy rains for months to come.
He said: "I've lived here seven years and this has never happened before, at least not where we are. I've seen the river high but nothing like this.
"We have had some damage but it could have been worse. Our kids loved it. They thought it was a huge adventure."

Wow You just have to appreciate the thoughtful craft of the Japanese… very cool
- Gerhard Human
That's what I love about the Japanese, attention to things that seems insignificant to the rest of the world… even though it's such a prominent feature in our cities…
Really cool!
- lepetitfaon
YES! Love the attention to detail, and the idea of making something prettier for no reason other than that
- esmone
Nowhere near as awesome as these, but there are some manholes from Norway;
- lepetitfaon
Still beautiful!
- cnice
those are great too, i think the beuty is in the attention to this or any object as a medium.. thanks for sharing !
- Sand
Beauty is in the detail. Never thought manhole could be so diverse and beauttfully designed. Only in Japan!
These really are badass, why isn't the UK this pretty?
realy beautiful
you know if these were in the states they would be stolen left and right!
I'd love to grill a steak on a surface as detailed and beautiful as those.

- Manhole Covers
A manhole cover is a removable plate forming the lid over the opening of a manhole, to prevent anyone from falling in and to keep unauthorized persons out.Since the era of ancient Rome, sewer grates made from stone have been used to keep people from falling into the sewage and to catch anything large that might otherwise fall in. Manhole covers usually weigh more than 50 kg, partly because the weight keeps them in place when traffic passes over them, and partly because they are often made out of cast iron, sometimes with infills of concrete. This makes them inexpensive, strong, and heavy. A manhole cover sits on metal base, with a smaller inset rim which fits the cover. The base and cover are sometimes called "castings," because they are made by a casting process.

These are awesome! My mom and I always take pictures of interesting storm drain covers.
such a great way to infuse a city with art an culture!

There will NEVER be another Papa Joe's. The king is dead. Still have the bucket that I liberated from that place. People that were never there don't believe what actually took place in that campus legend.
Desmond. I think Mark May is a salty troll who hates OSU, and knows talking about OSU is ratings gold. Desmond is an arrogant prick (Michigan Man) who thinks he's better than everyone.
Maybe you would, but I'd like to think most fans would be able to recognize a douche when they see one. Woody is loved for his entire tenure of success and his contributions to his players and the university community. Was he a hothead, and did he have flaws? Yes. However they were far outweighed by his other positive attributes. Harbaugh is a very good coach with little to no value outside his coaching. He is all about the Harbaugh. Was his signing day party a cool idea, yes. Is he a good coach, yes. Was he run out of SF after leading the to the Super Bowl? Yes! Why? He's a douche, and he is incapable of acting any other way.
Best pitcher in the AL right now. Hasn't given up a run in almost 30 innings, and has a sub 1 WHIP. They have been a different team since he hit the rotation. Moved Greene and Sanchez to the pen and made them better too. If Norris or Boyd can solidify the 4th starter in the rotation the Motor City Kitty's will win it all.
It is amazing how good Stanley's 5 Star is! You have to get the hand made pierogi's and sweet and sour cabbage too! Best food in Toledo
As a former resident of Haverfield (the only all male dorm on campus), and Scott (long live the ag dorm) I'm going to miss those great halls! Going to drink a heudepohl in their honor. On second thought I'll drink some real beer now that I know better!
$4.00 buckets of Old Swill before 8:00 at PJ's. Two $1 gyros after PJ's closed. Greatest $10.00 ever spent. Students don't understand how different OSU was back in the 80's. Haverfield had a dorm tap you could check out at the front desk by simply leaving your student ID. It's a miracle most students survived!
I am in the ABT crowd, and an early card carrying Tiger hater. When he first showed up with his dad Earle, it was a great story. His dad was a former Army officer, and it was great to see some diversity on the PGA in the form of an African-Asian-American young wunderkind. However it became pretty obvious quickly that the kid was fake, and every action he took was handled by a PR firm. His press conferences say absolutely nothing but cliche's. Fellow golfers who see him when no cameras are around cannt stand him. His behavior on the course is terrible. He treats people unkindly. Great golfer, bad person. I don't care of he banged every waitress in the country, good for him, but he did it the wrong way. Derek Jeter has a list of female partners a mile long, but he's single and doesn't hide the fact he's a player. Tiger, you're single and pert near a billionaire, have fun my friend, just don't try to sell me the gosh gee whiz family guy routine bull shit. When I heard his kids caddied for him at the par 3 contest, I didn't think what a nice story, I thought he must have hired a new pr firm and this is the latest attempt to rehab his image.
I am not up here on the Northern border protecting ohio from a barbarian invasion to let the 513 talk uk smack, eat that dog crap they think is chili and brew Heudepohl (spelling)! That crap beer nearly killed met freshman year until I upgraded to better bears like natural lite, PBR, Strohs and keystone!
From 1983 to 1991 (dead ball era) there was no better player at any position, than Alan Trammel. Gearge Bell being awarded the 87 MVP was criminal. I like Larkin, he deserved the HOF but tram was the man.
Stick a fork in him, he done. His "injuries" are mostly between the ears. He's lost his edge, the PGA tests for ped's, and nobody is afraid of Tiger anymore. I'm tired of the golf channel talking about this hack.
Pepper Johnson, Keith Byers, Chris Carter and Chris Speilman were my favorite football players. Dennis Hopson and Kelvin Ransey were my favorite hoops players.
Pro football, I was a huge fan of Billy Sims and Al "bubba" Baker.
Baseball, Alan Trammel was THE man. The fact he's not in the hall of fame is a joke and a travesty. Better all around player than either Ozzie Smith or Barry Larkin.
Clay's not even Oregon's premier program! (Sarcasm font) Go Stritch!! Even though they are from Central Public, love to see toledo catholic schools represent.
ABT. Anybody but Tiger. I know Jack's record will be broken someday, and I hope that person will have half the class as the Golden Bear! I like Bubba (I love his hovercraft golf carts), Rory and Phil.
It is amazing how many Buckeye fans there are in southeastern michigan. Last time I was at the Henry Ford, I was representing and heard an O H from across the museum. The number of OSU and MSU fans have tripled in the D over the last decade.
Did the search: cougar drill head assembly from Chicago vibrator products may be the dirtiest sounding perfectly clean product I've ever heard!
Does Bauserman have any eligibility left?
Frankie's! You could get an STD just looking at that place. Gotta love the east side!
Pine knob is a GREAT venue and have seen dozens of shows there. Being so close to the border you usually wind up tailgating with wild, drunk Canadians. Saw Rush there during Roll The Bones tour, and the crowd looked like they were there for a Maple Leaf game.
First concert was Peter Frampton opening for Stevie Nicks at Pine Knob.
Best Concert musically was Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff Beck on Halloween in 1989. A true musical god taken from us too young.
Best "show" was Pink Floyd in the Shoe. Lived in Haverfield at the time, and there was a fog around campus that weekend.
Best song I ever saw live was Live and Let Die, by Paul McCartney and Wings at the Pontiac Silverdome.
The office (British version), Top Gear, Monty Python's Flying Circus. Some of the greatest TV in the world is on the BBC.
I was 16 in 1986, and my father was a huge Jack Nicklaus fan (as was I). Nearly 30 years later I can still remember watching that final round of the Masters with my father, and the tears in his eyes when it was over. I still get goose bumps thinking about it. It was a magical moment shared with a man I loved. As great as the 2002 and 2014 national championships were, I don't think the 1986 Masters will ever be topped as my favorite sports moment.
He was a great coach! One of the all time greats. But, he's kind of like that crazy old uncle that scares the entire family, because you never know what he's going to say. Some of his comments about women and minorities would have gotten him fired in today's world. His kids graduated, there weren't discipline problems on his teams, but he's kinda crazy.

Classic Bread Stuffing With Sage and Thyme (America's Test Kitch
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 10mins
Recipe by CindyMarie
This is an excellent traditional stuffing (we call it dressing here in teh mid-west) from America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. It was a huge hit at Thankstiving! I baked half in a small casserole and used half to stuff two turkey breasts. Next year I will make at least 1 1/2 batches, because my guests asked for more! I made this the day before, and refridgerated until I was ready to bake on Thanksgiving day. It turned out great!

african asians,
the negritos

In many cases, they maintain the ancient hunter-gatherer approach of their ancestors. But it seems that the Agta have maintained a rotating, seasonal strategy that supplements hunting and foraging with fishing, planting and trade.
In their forest rambles, they construct temporary lean-to's of woven leaves and fronds, propped up by pared-down branches. In these lean-to's, they sleep or the women give birth. Otherwise, they are on the move.
While in the forest, the Agta women and men collect wild tubers of the yam and taro family (kalot, lubi lubi, kabuang, butot, bakalang (see 1). For protein, the Agta diet varies even more widely. From wild cats (lamidan or Zibet cats) to pigs to fish to insects, the men are often able to feed their families well. Scallops, shellfish, snails, frogs, prawns and honey are considered delicacies. Many of these foods are seasonally available so a working knowledge of the forest's yearly phases is part of the Agta subsistence strategy. A variety of fruits come into season at every point in the year and the Agta women anticipate and harvest them accordingly.
Since one average Agta only gets to use a dozen or two of these natural remedies in a lifetime, it is obvious that the people take pains to memorize entire canons of local herbs, roots and barks and pass them on to their children. The Agta also take great pride in remembering the hunting and gathering techniques of their ancestors, retelling legendary tales of their pre-agriculture ancestors in song and chant.
When Agta come out of the forest, these hunter-gatherers transform into farmers and traders. They sell some of their swidden crops at market, alongside the tusks, pelts and horns of animals they have killed.
When Agta come out of the forest, these hunter-gatherers transform into farmers and traders. They sell some of their swidden crops at market, alongside the tusks, pelts and horns of animals they have killed.
Between their seasonal hunting and gathering and their shifting cultivation, the Agta are among the most adaptable people in the Philippines, able to live in the highland forest, lowland foothills, plains and even on the seas and rivers. A lifestyle once denigrated for its transience has now been studied by anthropologists and the armed forces alike for its adaptability. By virtue of their ability to size up the environment and adjust to it, the black Pilipinos are not in immediate physical danger of extinction like so many other traditional societies around the world. Rather, the threat they face is more so cultural.
Negrito groups often seem to fit the old "acephalous" designation, meaning that they appear to have no "head man" or chief. But many sources have indicated the existence of datus among some local Negritos. "Datu" is the common, general, Pilipino term for a chief or even a minor king or sultan. The Negrito datus in the Visayas reportedly once came to power through a combination of heredity and election: the expectation was that one of the current datu's sons would take over from him and which son was decided by some manner of contest. The datu would have the power to sanction marriages, preside at funerals and recommend punishments for offences against the group. Most offences would regard ancestral rights and forms of property. Taking items without permission that are used by others is one of the most serious offences in traditional Agta societies. This idea extends to sexual infractions as well with adultery and philandering also greatly punishable. In previous centuries, theft and sexual predation were punishable by death, either hanging or drowning.
Agta datus often ruled in conjunction with several elders who advised him (Carreon, 1943: p.8) thus ensuring a reasonable decision and the general well-being of the society.
Visayan and Luzon Negritos sometimes live in large, agrarian communities for at least part of the year, necessitating some form of centralized (datu) leadership but increasingly, they find themselves living under the metropolitan law of the Filipino government.
On the other hand, smaller, forest-dwelling groups, generous with their catches and fair in their dealings would neither need such leadership nor would they fall under its supervision.
With regard to gender relations, Negrito men and women usually have clearly defined roles as established by tradition but with significantly more "gender equalit" than might be found among some of their Catholic and Muslim neighbors. Men and women usually share the responsibility of providing for the family, though in different ways. Men are hunters first and gatherers second.Women are planters and gatherers primarily.
Husbands take over their wives' gathering role during the end of a pregnancy and the early breast-feeding months, whereas the mother is expected to take complete care of the newborn.
The ancient marriage rituals involved a kind of ritualized bride capture in which a boy chose a girl he wanted to marry, announced his intentions to all relatives concerned and engaged in a mock pursuit of the maiden under the families' aegis. This is no longer a universal practice nor is the custom of bride price that was once also widespread.
Studies among the indigenous black populations of the Philippines, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and even in the Congo itself has produced no linguistic evidence that all these groups are linked by an ancient common ancestor. It is the hard fact of genetic evidence that has proven that. Ironically, the same fate has befallen the languages of all these groups. They have been deluged by the languages of their neighbors over millennia, resulting in an adoption of foreign tongues as their own, albeit with sometimes peculiar accents and dialects. In most of the Asiatic cases, not a single word of the original languages remains. Even in the apparent Congo homeland, the Pygmies there retain only a small number of words from their mother-tongue.
The Negritos of the Philippines speak a series of languages in the Philippine-Taiwan group of the Hisperonesian/Indonesian language branch of the Austronesian language family (Tzunekazu Moriguchi in Constantino, 2003, p.ii). Since each Negrito group lives in relatively close proximity to a Malay group, they tend to reflect the precise linguistic family to which their neighbors belong, whether Visayan, Palawan , Mindanaoan, Ilocano, Pampango etc. The dialects of those languages spoken by the Negritos might serve to distinguish them (in the manner American Navajo are distinguishable from Anglo-Americans), but the derivation from the majority language is obvious even with the native inflections. Of course, the Agtas, Aetas and Atis have not had the means at their disposal over the past five millennia or so (see 2) to preserve their language and their esprit de corps as do twenty-first century Pueblo and Plains Indians.

(1)In a strange case of adaptation, the northern Luzon Aeta have been swidden cultivating American starches, far more than their Malay neighbors who plant the traditional rice. Corn, potatoes and cassava are now a staple of these Aetas' lowland diet (Seitz, 2004, p.69).

Daniel Boys (born 26 March 1979, Yateley, Hampshire) is a British musical theatre actor, best known as a contestant on the BBC talent series Any Dream Will Do in 2007.
Acting career
Daniel Boys is a performer whose career encompasses TV, West End musicals, national tours, as well as numerous concerts and recordings. His appearance on the BBC TV talent show Any Dream Will Do in 2007 established him as one of the UK's emerging musical talents.
Daniel Boys won a Cameron Mackintosh scholarship to study at the Guildford School of Acting, where he graduated with a B.A. Hons, 2001.[1] He was selected to perform in the first UK tour of Jonathan Larson's Rent, which meant leaving college early. He understudied the characters of Mark (played by Adam Rickitt) and Angel, eventually taking over the starring role of Mark, performing on alternate nights at the Prince of Wales Theatre, in London's West End. He has also played Morino in the UK tour of Sunset Boulevard, which starred Faith Brown.[2]
Boys appeared as Roger, one of the T-birds, in Grease at the Victoria Palace for its twelve month run. This led to him travelling with the production to Japan, and playing the role of Doody in Scandinavia and Cyprus. He also performed at Party in the Park with the company of Grease.[3] Guest appearances with Grease also included Blue Peter and The Graham Norton Show. His other theatre credits include; Doug in the workshop of The Trouble with Doug (Northampton Royal & Derngate); Jason in Ordinary Days (Trafalgar Studios); Christian in the London Premiere of "Wolfboy" (Trafalgar Studios); Eddie in the workshop of Painted Lady: The Princess Caraboo Scandal (Bristol Old Vic/Finborough); Princeton/Rod in "Avenue Q" (Gielgud/Noel Coward – Winner of 2009 Theatregoers Choice Award for Best Takeover in a Role); Austin in I Love You Because (Landor); Anthony in "Sweeney Todd" (Royal Festival Hall); Mark in Rent (European Tour) and Parson Nathanial (u/s) in "Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds" (National Tour),

His only opportunity to sing a musical theatre number was during a sing-off, in which he performed "Bring Him Home" from Les Misérables against Lewis Bradley. Daniel received the least number of votes, and was chosen to leave the show by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
John Barrowman, Another Side and Music Music Music Tour

He performed 5 numbers, including one from his debut album entitled So Close. On December the 6th 2009, Boys performed with fellow artists in "Christmas in New York" at the Prince of Wales Theatre. Among his songs were "Ave Maria" and "Winter Wonderland".
In February 2010, Boys performed with Jessie Buckley in two concerts in Manchester and Birmingham entitled "Valentines at the Musicals" including songs from West Side Story and My Fair Lady. In 2009 Daniel's debut solo album So Close was released. To coincide with the release, Daniel embarked on a series of solo concerts performing at venues such as Leicester Square Theatre, the Delfont Room at the Prince Of Wales Theatre, Wilton Music Hall, Greenwich Theatre and three sold out performances at the renowned Pizza On The Park, London. He made his American debut with the show when he performed at Show at Barre (Los Angeles), supported by Broadway actress Megan Hilty, and in Australia he played both Sydney and the Adelaide Cabaret Festival alongside acts such as Olivia Newton John and Chita Rivera.
Further concerts include: No Space For Air (Apollo); Christmas in New York (Prince of Wales & Apollo), An Evening with John Barrowman (Arundel Castle), A Spoonful of Stiles & Drewe (Her Majesty's), Party in the Park (Hyde Park) amongst others. Daniel is also a regular soloist on BBC Radio 2's Friday Night is Music Night.
On Oct 21, 2011, Daniel played Judas in the 40th Anniversary production of Godspell alongside Kerry Ellis at the Palace Theatre, Manchester.
In 2008, Boys recorded a song for the CD Act One - Songs From The Musicals Of Alexander S. Bermange, an album of 20 brand new recordings by 26 West End stars, released in October 2008 on Dress Circle Records.
His debut album 'So Close' launched on June 1, 2009, something Daniel had always wanted to complete. Mixed by Grammy award-winner and cousin Jerry Boys in early 2009, each track was carefully chosen to reflect Daniel's varied taste in music. The penultimate track 'Always There' features the backing vocals of friends, family, and fellow cast members as a tribute to their support and friendship.
Boys also recorded the song 'My Brother's Eyes' on Terry Pratchett's 'Only You Can Save Mankind', which was released on November 23, 2009, and recorded a version of I Know Him So Well with John Barrowman for his 2008 album Music Music Music.
Daniel recently recorded an exclusive track for Disney called 'The World is Something You Can Imagine' which can be found in their stores worldwide. It was also released as a charity single with proceeds going to the Disney Appeal at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Daniel can also be heard on numerous recordings including the cast recording of Wolfboy, More With Every Line - the Songs of Tim Prottey-Jones, Only You Can Save Mankind, Christmas in New York and Act One. 2011 has also seen him contributing to Helena Blackman's, Shona White's, Michael Bruce's and Dougal Irvine's debut albums.

It was a typical love story for Kyoko Yamaguchi. The couple met in Europe, fell in love, married and later had a son.
But the happy life she had envisioned soon turned sour. First there were the fights and the yelling, and then the cheating and violence. After nearly 10 years of trying desperately to hold on to her marriage, Yamaguchi, not her real name, left her husband.
But that wasn't enough. Physically and mentally worn out from her husband's abusive and stalkerlike behavior, she finally decided to take her son and move back to Japan without her husband's consent.
In Japan, most people would say she is just a mother trying to do what she thought best for her child. But under the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, to which Japan is not a member, Yamaguchi's action is considered international parental kidnapping.
"I don't know what I would have done if Japan had signed the Hague Convention," Yamaguchi said, her voice shaking and tears running down her cheeks. "I hate to even think about it, but I probably would have tried to commit suicide with my child."
Her husband had a bad temper, she said, and countless times he would yell at her and their son, punching the wall and slamming doors.
One time, after an hour of being yelled at and called horrible names with her son close by, Yamaguchi could no longer tolerate his "abnormal screaming." For the first time she hit back, slapping him. In return, he punched her in the face and she landed 3 meters across the room, she said.
"There was all sorts of physical violence and that time (when he punched me), I lost consciousness," she added. "When I came to, my son was at my side, terrified for me. All I could do then was to tell him that Mommy was all right."
Yamaguchi said that even after she separated from her husband, she had no intention of returning to Japan. She wanted to raise her son in Europe. (For privacy, she asked that the country not be revealed.)
"I realize that I bear responsibility too — after all, I married him," Yamaguchi said. "I was prepared for some punishment, almost like a form of atonement, and that was why I endured his stalkerlike actions after our separation. But when his actions harmed my son, I couldn't forgive him."
She said her husband stalled the process for a legal separation. The longer she had to wait, the more her and her son's mental states deteriorated.
When a court handed down a temporary alimony settlement, Yamaguchi said the amount was "unbelievably" small, not nearly enough to raise a child. "I realized that my son and I could starve to death if we stayed," Yamaguchi said. "And that was when I seriously began to consider moving back to Japan."
So, she planned her "escape" and made her way back to Japan last year to live with her parents. She said her son has adapted well to Japan.
"In my husband's eyes, I am a criminal," she said. "But for me, my answer is my son. Seeing him today, I truly think I made the right decision."
Sachiyo Kawasaki, who also asked that her real name not be used, said she recently brought her children from the U.S. because her husband's abuse started to affect them.
"We don't want to be criminals," she said. "If there was another way to resolve the situation, we would have done that. But coming back to Japan was the only way to protect the children."
Kawasaki met her husband in the 1990s and was married for more than a decade. Throughout this time, she said, he subjected her to endless verbal abuse and was sometimes physically violent as well. "But you see, mothers tend to tolerate abuse against themselves," Kawasaki said.
But like other cases, the abuse affected the children. Her husband, who repeatedly threatened to take them away from her, was "domineering" to the point where the kids grew mentally unstable, she said.
"It got worse when we separated because there was no one nearby to stop him — he was able to do whatever he pleased and the children fell victim to his actions," Kawasaki said.
She said the children begged her to do something so they wouldn't have to see their father during visitations.
Mothers like Kawasaki and Yamaguchi are aware of Article 13 in the Hague Convention, which stipulates that children don't have to be returned to their country of origin if the "return would expose the child to physical or psychological harm or otherwise place the child in an intolerable situation."
But Japanese legal experts say the article has only been applied in extreme cases.
Kawasaki said the reason she is against Japan joining the Hague Convention is because it completely ignores the children's wishes. "It is just too cruel to ignore the children's pleas and force them to return," she said.


text: COLUMBUS (AP) SBC Communications Inc. must control health care costs to survive, the company president said after union members voted to authorize a strike next month if negotiations fail.The Communications Workers of America planned to picket outside SBCs annual shareholders meeting scheduled for Friday. About 90 percent of the unions members voted Thursday to authorize a strike next month if a contract agreement isnt reached. The earliest possible date would be May 8.Meanwhile, executives have to explain to shareholders two consecutive years of falling profits as health costs escalate and the local phone service customers who make up half of sales try out competitors plans.Accounting changes resulted in 50 percent gain in net earnings for all of 2003, at $8.5 billion, up from $5.6 billion in 2002. But operating income before one-time changes declined by 25 percent in 2003 and 18 percent in 2002. The company has lost local phone service customers for 11 straight quarters.We hope by the end of the year to see overall revenue growth, SBC Communications Inc. president William Daley said Thursday. We have cut our capital spending dramatically, weve paid down our debt. We have a very good balance sheet.The company is aggressively pursuing its growing markets such as DSL high-speed Internet service, he said.The San Antonio-based telecommunications company chose to have its annual meeting in the Midwest long before a recent decision that allows SBC to start selling long-distance service in Ohio, he said.Ohio regulators are also refereeing an ongoing battle over the wholesale rate SBC charges to four companies that use its lines to provide competing local phone service.The threatened strike would affect 100,000 SBC workers in 13 states.Negotiations have been slowed by disagreements over several key issues, among them job security, SBCs use of subcontractors in growth sectors of the company, and distribution of health care costs.Daley said he hopes a deal can be reached without a work interruption.Most of our competitors are nonunion and dont provide near the wage scale, he said.

Squirrel Hill synagogue hosts forum on gun violence
Holding gun owners responsible for reporting lost and stolen weapons, instituting universal background checks and banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines were among the recommendations offered as solutions to gun violence during a forum in Squirrel Hill on Monday night.
"Stop the Killing — A Forum on Ending Gun Violence" drew nearly 150 people to the Temple Sinai synagogue.
Richard Carrington, executive director of the community group Voices Against Violence, used his personal experiences to help illustrate the toll gun violence has had on the community.
"Since 2000, I have been to 164 funerals of young black men that I have known personally," Carrington said. "Of the 164 funerals ... not one of those young men was killed with a legal gun. They were not able to track it back to anyone and not able to verify where those guns came from."
Dr. Jennifer Wolford of the Child Advocacy Center at Children's Hospital in Lawrenceville discussed the enormity of the problem, saying that about 17,000 children suffer nonfatal gun wounds each year, according to the Children's Defense Fund.
Wolford cited 2009 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that found 2,251 children — six each day — died from gun violence in the United States.
Her personal encounters with children who were victims of gun violence include treating a 3-year-old boy who accidentally shot himself in the face with a handgun in the home of a baby-sitter, and a 9-year-old boy who was accidentally shot in the abdomen when his 17-year-old brother removed a handgun from his waistband.
Kerry O'Donnell, president of the Falk Foundation, which has been studying incidences of gun violence, made a case for enacting laws that hold gun owners responsible for properly securing their weapons by noting that many gun deaths occur with weapons that are easily accessible to children or are stolen from homes and cars.
"We believe that the silver bullet here is to hold gun owners more responsible," she said.
Several public officials, including state Sen. Jay Costa, D-Forest Hills, city Councilmen Bill Peduto and Bruce Kraus and city Controller Michael Lamb, were on hand to outline efforts at the state and local level to address gun violence.

August jobs report is expected to be solid, but economic recovery still hasn't taken off
WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy apparently delivered another solid month of job gains in August, but the looming fiscal fight in Congress, coupled with tension in the Middle East, could test the resiliency of the recovery.
An estimate of monthly hiring released Thursday morning by the human resources firm ADP clocked in at 176,000 jobs for August — a slowdown from the previous month, but still in line with the steady rebound this summer. Meanwhile, government data showed the number of people filing for unemployment benefits dropped to 323,000 last week. The four-week average for claims hit a six-year low.
The Labor Department is slated to report its closely watched estimate of employment Friday morning.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said job growth has been "remarkably consistent" in recent months, with gains across a broad swath of industries and businesses. Zandi, who helped calculate the ADP estimate, noted that the increases came despite significant federal spending cuts and the rollout of health-care requirements for businesses.
Although he still expects the recovery to pick up soon, he said Washington remains a wild card. "The script is still being played out here," Zandi said. "This go-round may not go as smoothly."
There are several potential pitfalls facing lawmakers over the next several months. Congress must agree on at least a short-term spending plan by October or risk shutting down the federal government. In addition, the nation may not be able to pay all of its bills unless lawmakers agree to raise the debt ceiling before it is reached in mid-October. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has promised a "whale of a fight" and is likely to seek changes to President Barack Obama's signature health-care law in exchange for cooperation on the debt limit.
"It's hard to judge it in a normal way because the threat is irrational," said Robert Shapiro, a former senior Democratic economic adviser who heads the advisory firm Sonecon. "It doesn't really advance the self-interest of anyone."
Overshadowing those debates is the possibility of a U.S. attack on Syria and tumult in the Middle East. Crude oil prices jumped to an 18-month high in late August, though they have moderated since. The price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil for customers needing delivery in October rose about 1 percent Thursday, to $108.35 a barrel.
At the very least, the discussion of U.S. involvement in Syria may delay the fight over — and eventual resolution of — the country's fiscal problems.
"The ongoing debate regarding Syria on Capitol Hill increases the likelihood that lawmakers punt on both the budget and the debt ceiling, which would set up another fiscal fight at the end of 2013," said Isaac Boltansky, policy analyst at Compass Point.
Although many analysts say the likelihood of an actual government shutdown or debt limit breach is low, a messy and public fight could be enough to spook investors and businesses. The uncertainty also adds another wrinkle to the Federal Reserve's plan to begin scaling back its massive stimulus program.
The central bank has been buying $85 billion in Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities each month to push down long-term interest rates. The program is largely contingent on the health of the labor market, and officials hope it will soon be strong enough to stand on its own.
Some economists believe the Fed could begin shrinking its bond-buying program when it convenes its regular policy-setting meeting Sept. 17. But another partisan showdown over fiscal issues could be a reason to move carefully.
Shapiro said he is no longer predicting an acceleration in the recovery during the second half of the year. "I have said for quite some time that the pieces for a stronger recovery are in place," he said. "But the economy still has not taken off."

Until now, Foursquare has been more like a Hollywood caricature of a social networking business than the real thing. It has a carousing, socially popular founder. A goofy-sounding value proposition involving "badges," "mayors," and "check-ins." A lofty venture capital valuation – and reportedly, little revenue. But the fresh redesign described to us by CEO Dennis Crowley and outlined below aims to change all that, making the check-in service attractive to a whole new class of consumers and, just as crucial, providing advertisers highly targeted access to those consumers.
If all goes as planned, Foursquare will finally do what Crowley says the startup has always wanted to do: Get past awarding badges like "Player Please" for obsessive check-ins and provide people with more actionable, easy-to-understand information to help them make decisions. The company says its goal is "to make the real world easier to use." Rather than simply recording where you are, Foursquare wants to help you decide where to go.
"It's like The Karate Kid. You think you are painting the fence, but you are really learning karate. That's what we were doing."— Dennis Crowley
Foursquare has always been of some use in making plans, if only because it shows you where your friends are right now. That lets people, as Crowley's former NYU professor Clay Shirky puts it, "literally see through walls — 'I am standing here and my friends are 55 yards in that direction.'"
But Foursquare wants to go further, helping its 20 million users easily see where their friends have been, what they did, what they ate, who they were with, what it all looked like, and what it all means to someone standing on a particular corner at a particular time with a particular hankering.
"It wasn't just a novelty trick of knowing where your friends are." Crowley says of Foursquare's original iteration. "The intent has always been to predict where people are going, what is the most interesting thing I should know on a Tuesday afternoon, in some place I have never been."
All the check-ins, all the mayorships were a way to get the data to do that.
"It's like The Karate Kid," Crowley says. "You think you are painting the fence, but you are really learning karate. That's what we were doing."
Now that Crowley has accumulated extensive user data over the last three years, he's launching new features to make us of it. Those features begin rolling out for iPhone and Android users on Thursday and for BlackBerry users in a few weeks.
According to the company, they will include the following:
- A revamped "Friends" tab with big pictures and "like" buttons. The social stream will also fold in people's tips, lists and saved places. The "huge" pictures, as Foursquare puts it, entice users, while the "like" data gives Foursquare even more data with which to target ads.
- A more aggressively helpful "Explore" tab. Under the old app, clicking Foursquare's "Explore" tab didn't provide much guidance on your surroundings; for recommendations you had to select a location or search term and then drill into one of several categories like "Food," "Coffee," or "Nightlife." The new "Explore" opens immediately into recommendations, compiled based on where you are, where you friends are and where they have been, where people similar to you and your friends have been, and even whether you're in your home neighborhood or are traveling.
- Advertising in "Explore." Foursquare says "Explore" will also suggest destinations based on "where you can save money." The Foursquare app already offered a "Specials" section in "Explore," but future specials will presumably be seen by more people since they don't have to be explicitly selected. Foursquare is reportedly looking to tie more ads to the "Explore" suggestion algorithm.
- Easier, faster check-ins. Crowley said in March that Foursquare users were not checking in as often, and speculated that, as Foursquare added more features, they simply forgot to do so. The redesigned app tackles this head-on, moving the check-in button to a more convenient location in the upper right of the app, near the user's thumb. Foursquare says it has also optimized its infrastructure to make check-ins register with its servers more quickly.
- More useful personal history. In the old app, your personal profile was dominated by competitive stats, like number of mayorships, badges, and check-ins, and how you ranked in comparison to your friends. The new profile tab, in comparison, emphasizes friendly socialization. It makes it easier to get at your photos, to the tips you've provided others, and to lists that you've made.
Beyond the official feature list, there are more subtle signs that the company is working to make itself more relevant to users and to advertisers. It has spent more time mining its growing trove of data, producing detailed charts of ice cream sales in New York over the course of a year, comparative breakdowns of mass transit use in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area, and the different buying habits of men versus women. And that's just what the company is willing to discuss publicly; given the quantity of check-ins and comments it processes, it could run far more detailed analyses.
"Give me a latitude and a longitude, and a time and day of the week, and I can tell you where people will be one half-hour from now," Crowley says.
If Foursquare is to attain anything approaching the popularity and profitability of, say, Facebook, it's going to have to keep expanding its functionality for users and utility to advertisers. All indications are that the company is aware of this — and that it's proceeding apace.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

So, is there a denomination/faith/r
(46 Posts)
eligion that fits?
Please bear with me here, it may be long and a bit rambling... I became a Christian 6 years ago through a fairly typical path of: young children, toddler group at very active local (Anglican) church, made Christian friends, attended a parenting course at the church, attended an alpha course, became a member of the church and a 'committed' Christian. There were always a few key issues I struggled with: the view of homosexuality as a sin (I'm very pro gay marriage), the literalist approach to the bible (I studied anthropology and have an unshakable belief in evolution/ scientific explanations of how the world began), abortion (I'm pro choice) and other religions ( deep down I think I believe all faiths are equal). The church I am now very much a part of is a fairly conservative, bible led, evangelical one - I think their 'model' would be the Holy Trinity Brompton one. Their view on homosexuality for example is 'hate the sin, love the sinner'. Over the last 2 years the niggling issues that I struggled with at the beginning have become more and more important to me and I'm feeling less and less comfortable with this particular church and with the Christian faith in general. I do believe in God, but I'm not sure it's in a particularly 'Christian' way - I feel like I want to be able to pray to him, to be guided by him as a moral compass but that is about as far as it goes. No longer totally sure where I stand on Jesus as the son or God or the bible as 'God breathed'.
What do I do? I feel like every time I go to church, or speak to my Christian friends, or attend a prayer group etc I am living a lie. Also the kids are settled in their Sunday groups ( although DH isn't a Christian and doesn't come to church, and as a result the kids and I have only ever gone to church twice a month at the most). The kids also attend a C of E school and I'm a governor there. I do also like that feeling of shared worship that going to church brings and find the familiarity of it all quite comforting.
Not sure if I'm at the wrong church / wrong denomination or wrong faith altogether. Also not sure what to do about it ! Have tried praying but have never really heard God's voice anyway, let alone on this issue . Any ideas or am I just over-thinking things?!
Sorry for such a long post, thanks if you made it this far [ blush]
Not really religious values headinhands, things like giving generously, thinking of others, respecting themselves etc. the stuff that they're happy to learn from me, DH and wider family now, but may be less inclined to when they're older. Maybe I just need to trust that our parenting now, and the behaviour we're (mostly!) modelling, will stick with them.
Once again, thanks to everyone for the great advice and comments, it's so helpful to hear other views on this.
I don't know much about Quakerism - apart from that my MIL was one for a while, which I have to admit puts me off a bit!
Tuo, I think that's it, I had always assumed that the churches that appeared more traditional would hold the more traditional, 'biblical' views - and vice versa. This whole thing has shown me just how little I know about it all and, as I said earlier, how quickly I rushed into it. I can almost hear DH saying 'I told you so' as that was exactly his argument right at the beginning (he didn't take my 'conversion' very well at all). I have some serious thinking to do.
Keep talking on here and in real life, pinkpip. My dh isn't a Christian either, and that has been (and periodically is) quite difficult. I was raised Christian, but only returned after a long agnostic period about 3 years ago. I was put off returning for a long time by the fact that my local (Anglican) church didn't match with those things that were important to me. But eventually I got brave enough to look further afield and the right place was out there for me... I am sure it will be for you too.

You may not get a clear sense of what they would be like from here, but you can often find links from here to the church's own website, and that can be quite revealing.
Good luck!
Second recommendation here for Quakers.
I'm no longer a Christian myself, but am still involved in all aspects of church life as my family are all believers (age appropriately). I value the communtiy aspect of church, which is why I stick it out. If I were in your position, and seeking stuff that was a little less evangelical, I'd perhaps seek out an evening service at a more liberal church.
I also always assumed 'traditional' Churches held traditional views and the more evangelical modern Churches would be more liberal. I've actually found quite the opposite.
(to be true)
Ime the most evangelical churches tend to also be the most socially conservative. I have never heard a sermon about family values, sexuality or life issues at any church I've been to. They mostly talk about Jesus and God, tbh (commenting on the readings for that day and trying to explain them) and Jesus never really said anything about people being gay, taking the pill or shagging around so there isn't that much material.
I'd call our church open evangelical, which I believe someone mentioned upthread. There's no gay bashing, which I value, and much talk (and action) on poverty and social justice. They know my atheist position and still love and accept me. In fact as far as I'm aware, one of our main youth workers is gay and it's never been an issue.
Of course there are conservative evangelicals there who hold to more conservative views, but you're always going to get a mix in any church.
Kayharker, it's great that you are able to be involved in all those positive things your church are doing without actually worshipping there. Although my church is involved with social action, I worrry that it's driven primarily by the need to bring others to Jesus, rather than a real sense of injustice at the poverty/abuse etc that they face, but I fear I may just be becoming more and more cynical .
Well I heard something quite cool from someone at church the other week - 'I don't run [such and such a programme] to turn people into Christians, I run it because I am a Christian'.
Now obviously, I don't have that same motivation, but it was a lot healthier than using everything as an evangelistic exercise, which has been the case in churches I attended when I was a believer.
Sorry for bad link in my previous post (dodgy keyboard). The site is here.
This is rather simplistic but gave me pause for thought
There are loads of Anglican churches that are pro gay marriage, even some evangelical ones. 'Traditional' Anglican churches with smells and bells are actually a bit more likely to be gay-friendly - it's pretty camp! Lots of female clergy in those churches too. Where are you based, OP? I might know churches in your area.
There are well-known gay Anglican priests even, like Richard Coles. My own church is Anglo-Catholic but pro gay marriage and female clergy.
The Quakers and Unitarians are very very different and I don't think they would suit you. Non-Anglican churches that might suit you would be the Methodists and the URC (United Reformed Church) - they will be quite 'low church' and there wouldn't be any smells and bells or even vestments, but the URC especially is very gay friendly. I have a friend who is gay and trans and training to be a URC minister and the church is fine with this.
You really don't need religion to be a good person and live a good, happy, meaningful life. At the root of all the superstition and mythology are some good things: valuing kindness, fairness, honesty etc because these are the qualities human beings need to live with and around one another. These exist, and have always existed, quite outside of any imaginary superior beings.
Unfortunately, also at the root of all this crap is are two very negative things. One is the designing of a tool for social control, to advantage the self-appointed 'superior' group over everyone else by means of insisting that there's this imaginary being who will punish and reward according to
the needs of the self-appointed superiors its own rules; the other is the desire of men-as-a-class to make reproduction something controlled by men rather than by women.
All the good things that you have/need/seek/already do are human things. You can keep them all without the intervention of other people's imaginary friends.
Solid my own personal faith contains neither negative thing you've just mentioned. I don't give a fuck that you don't believe in a deity so why care so much that others do? Just live and let live.
solid I agree with much of your post.
Op you sound very kind and really engaged with your children's lives and in the community which is to be utterly commended. You sound very much guided by the here and now: what is important to to human brings at this moment in time; kindness to people who choose a different path; rationalist inclination to believe in evolution and science; yet a yearning for some meaning and a belief in 'someone out there'.
My nn probably gives it away but I'm a secular western buddhist. Buddhism is very much a non-theistic 'religion'. Ie no personal god. A philosophy of compassion and loving kindness. There are many buddhist groups in the uk.
I just wanted to contribute to this thread to put out there that, as pp's have mentioned, morals and doing good by people come in all groups and beliefs and practices. You have the best intentions. You have a community spirit. Sadly, I suspect there are many many people out there who feel much like you do. Wrong fit with the established church. Or with Christianity generally? Yet you may be feeling a little shame or worried about criticism if you voice your views with your colleagues in the church.
No solutions here really. But perhaps Quakers or Buddhists are avenues you can look at to see where you feel comfortable.
Thanks all. I think I'm fairly resolute now that, whatever happens faith-wise, i need to make a move away from my current church. Now all I have to do is figure out how to do it without offending people or creating too much awkwardness. I'm not great at confrontation so this is the sort of thing I'll worry about for weeks before I actually do anything.
In the meantime my plan is to look into whether there are any more liberal churches locally (Anglican or otherwise) that I could check out, whilst also mulling over whether I am, at heart, a Christian - or whether I should be looking into other faiths (Quakerism, Buddhism, Unitarianism) or simply no faith (at least not in the organised sense). I don't want to come across as though I'm treating this all too casually, or planning on flitting in and out of religions until I find the perfect fit. I just feel so out of step with the church/beliefs that I'm supposed to be a part of and have been pretending everything is ok for far too long.
At the risk of sounding twee, you need to be true to what you yourself believe, and if that means finding somewhere that actually fits with what you believe, then that seems eminently sensible and not something that you should feel bad about.
I attack superstition, not out of a wish to hurt the feelings of the many perfectly nice and well-intentioned people who just happen to believe in some supernatural pal or other, but because of the damage done by privileging superstition ie allowing not-nice people to harm and oppress others on behalf of their own imaginary friend.

Gold at EUR1,000/oz – Strong Physical Demand Leading To Illiquid Conditions
by Tyler Durden
From GoldCore
Strong Physical Demand Leading to Illiquid Conditions
Gold's fundamentals remain strong with robust demand internationally; particularly in Asia where inflation is taking hold. Strong demand can be seen in the premiums being paid for gold bars in various parts of Asia, especially in India, Vietnam and China.
Indian ex-duty premiums for the London AM and PM fix were $6.81 and $4.72 respectively yesterday, showing that Indian buyers are active at these price levels.
Vietnam gold markets were open for the first time since last Tuesday. Vietnamese gold stood at a premium of $40.49 to world gold of $1,351.15.
Reuters reports that Asian kilo bar premiums remain firm and near 7 year highs with premiums of $1.50/90 $1.90/3.00 in Singapore and $3.00/$3.00 $3.00/4.00 in Hong Kong. Japanese demand has also picked up of late and premiums in Tokyo were $1.50/2.00.
While Chinese demand is not expected to be at the record breaking levels seen in late 2010 and January 2011, it is expected to remain robust due to inflation and negative real interest rates in China (and most of the rest of the world).
With the physical gold market remaining very small when compared to the futures and paper gold market (futures, CFDs etc) there are increasing concerns of illiquidity due to the scale of demand and lack of supply. Pertinently, the size of the physical gold and silver bullion markets is tiny compared to the size of international equity, bond and currency markets. Not to mention the hard to fathom humongous international derivatives market (see chart below).

Level IV protection for LEO
Over the past few months Ive had an increase in request for my BCS NU custom carrier from LE officers to support their custom cut NIJ style IIIA soft armor with the ability to add a front only 10 x12 level IV hard plate. These requests are coming from officers across the country. Are LE officers experiencing an increased threat level by criminals using assault rifles (7.62x39) nationally??
The level IV plates have become more attainable and light enough to be practical for everyday wear. 10 years ago level IV meant Second Chance Hard Corps that was way too heavy/bulky for every day wear. With the new ceramics that have multi hit ratings are getting into a price range officers can afford. When adjusted for inflation, these plates are down right cheap.
It's only an officer's life, why spend the extra money?
matt...............I'd moderate that post!!
Dunerunner, I can see the sarcasm in Matt's post. I'm ok with it.
Personally I do not see a need for level IV plates. Level III hard plates will stop anything short of .30 cal AP. Not a lot of that around. I would feel perfectly safe with level III mulit-hit plates and save $500 and several pounds per plate.
Most the officers that have requested the carrier are wanting the carrier because it is low profile,support IV protection and still worn under their uniform.
Some places the threat isn't from a "gangsta" with an "assault" rifle. Where I live and work it is very rural and almost everyone has a center fire hunting rifle.
When people own these rifles and decide to use one for nefarious purposes it legitimizes the need for protection against centerfire rifle calibers.
Increasing level of threat
Everyday shootings are taking place with ever increasing fire power. Based upon the requests I have had for the custom NIJ carrier to support Level III or Level IV plate, I feel LE officers are preparing for threat level changes.

I recorded a viola for a theatre project. I recorded it in a dry room, close mic with a Neumann TLM103. Some samples are just noises of the bow on the C or D string, then once in a while creating overtones, other samples contain some processing with Echoboy by SoundToys. Amazing plugins they make!
Feel free to use the samples in any way you like. If you use it in a project I am always curious to hear it. Comments and questions welcome.

The art of pairing and sharing comes to FiveSixty's Taste Resto-Lounge
A new restaurant has opened below popular nightspot FiveSixty (560 Seymour Street). Taste Resto-Lounge features Italian-inspired dishes paired with a curated wine list and bespoke cocktails.

Every dish on the menu is paired with a red or white wine ($8 to $13 by the glass, $38 to $75 by the bottle) and one of eight craft cocktails ($10 to $13).
The room features a long bar and tables for two or four up front, and a communal dining table for 20 and open kitchen in the back. The décor includes a rotating art collection and pink chandeliers throughout. Taste Resto-Lounge is open Tuesday to Saturday from 4 p.m., and will feature live DJ music Thursday to Saturday.

Monster Mobile
What nursery is complete without a mobile above the crib? I wanted something truly outstanding for my monster nursery, and my son, Presley, thinks this mobile is pretty amazing. I'd set up a small fan on the floor and point it at the mobile to get it to spin, and he'd stare at it for hours. You can also use a commercial mobile for the musical spinner or check Christmas shops for an ornament rotator. Once it's no longer needed above a crib, this mobile looks fantastic hanging anywhere in your kiddo's room.

A top policeman accused Hillsborough families of lying about the tragedy in a leaked email to colleagues.
South Yorkshire's chief constable, who has been forced to apologise, made the allegation just before last year's report into the disaster.
David Crompton told officers: "The Hillsborough Campaign for justice will be doing their version... in fact their version of certain events has become 'the truth' even though it isn't!!"
He suggests police put their case on Twitter.
Mr Crompton adds: "I have the feeling the media 'machine' favours the families and not us, so we need to be a bit more innovative to have a fighting chance – otherwise we will just be roadkill."
The email, revealed by a Freedom of Information request, was sent to an assistant chief constable and the force's media chief.
South Yorkshire police and crime commissioner Shaun Wright has reported it to the Independent Police Complaints Commission and the Home Secretary.
He said he was "disappointed" at Mr Crompton's remarks.
Yesterday Mr Crompton apologised for what he admitted were "inappropriate and insensitive" remarks about the 1989 disaster.
He said: "It was never intended to cause any offence and I apologise. Nor was it intended to challenge the integrity and views of those who lost loved ones."

The most common cause of performance loss in late-model diesel engines is clogging of the intake manifold with oil vapour build-up. We have seen the air supply pipe practically closed off by oil sludge build-up. Thorough cleaning of the turbo crossover pipe and intake manifold should be done every 50,000km.
Oil vapours on diesel engines are introduced into the intake air stream by a breather hose that vents the crankcase next to the oil fill cap. Vapours build up and eventually choke off the intake air supply.
The breather hose should never be pinched off or plugged, as major engine oil leaks will result. The intake valves become severely coated with an oily residue, preventing the engine from breathing. Ultimately, engine performance and fuel economy suffer
To clean the engine, we use The BG Diesel tools by restoring lost performance and preventing costly repairs. This service will reduce overall maintenance costs, while ensuring long, productive lives for diesel engines in a truck or car Often the intake systems and throttle valves of modern diesel engines are heavily contaminated and can result in:

Item is available through our marketplace sellers.
Devin Therriault is a straight-up rocker and his first album, Romancing (released under the name Devin), is a thrilling, rollicking blast of good-time, bad-time rock & roll. Built around Devin's squalling guitar, his dramatic yelp of a voice, and the thundering but precise rhythm section of Steve Jewett on bass and Matt Schulz on drums, Romancing perfectly captures the tough guy-soft heart dynamic that's been a vital part of rock & roll since the beginning, from Gene Vincent and Dion to Southside Johnny and Mink Deville to Jack White and now, Devin. The lo-fi, high-energy sound is perfect for transmitting the fever of the uptempo rockers like "Run" and "You're Mine," the group's surprisingly light touch serves them well on the doo wop-py ballads "In My Solitude" and "I Died," and there are at least five songs that are total knock-outs scattered throughout the album. Starting with the sharp-as-Devin's-quiff "Masochist," then hitting hard with the strutting "Born to Cry," the one-two punch that kicks off the record is enough to make the album a hit. The other knock-outs (like the soulful rave-up "Too Soon," the tightly wound, super romantic "New Horrors," and the desperate "Forever Is Only a Moment") only cement the record's intense power. In the hands of a less dynamic singer or a less energetic band, Romancing could have been a nostalgic exercise in clichéd rock & roll, as fresh as a crumpled pack of cigarettes on a barroom floor. Luckily, Devin and his mates play and sing with so much fire and energy that they transcend flaws with ease. The songs, too, have an extra dash of fevered imagination that gives them enough punch to knock out any naysayers in round one. Romancing is as good as rock & roll gets in 2012.

Make-A-Wish grants beach vacation to Sewickley Township girl
As Elizabeth Dietz of Sewickley Township was recovering this spring from brain surgery to reduce the number and intensity of seizures she had been suffering, the 6-year-old had a dream come true — a trip to the beach.
Elizabeth, along with her parents, George and Angela Dietz, and 9-year-old brother, George III, went for a vacation to Clearwater Beach, Fla., in April, courtesy of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia, which has its headquarters in Pittsburgh.
"They wanted her to have a lasting memory of something good," Angela Dietz said.
Elizabeth's doctors at Children's Hospital recommended her to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Pittsburgh, so she could have her wish come true — spending time at the beach, Angela Dietz said. The family selected Clearwater along the Gulf of Mexico based on recommendations that it would be a nice place to visit.
Elizabeth said she loved seeing the dolphins and her brother liked the opportunity to go swimming.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Elizabeth was one of 42 Westmoreland County youngsters, ages 2 1⁄2 to 18, who received special wishes in 2012 through the program, said Ann Hohn, chief operating officer of the Make-A-Foundation in Pittsburgh.
The foundation granted 681 wishes last year and at any one time, there are 450 to 500 wishes pending. It has served more than 12,500 children in 57 Pennsylvania and 23 West Virginia counties in its 28-year history.
The bubbly black-haired Elizabeth, a kindergarten student at Mendon Elementary School in South Huntingdon, qualified for the program because she had brain surgery at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh on June 27, 2012, to remove 90 percent of a benign tumor in the frontal lobe of her brain.
The procedure was designed to stop the seizures — sometimes occurring multiple times in one day — that had tormented her for about two years, her mother said. She suffered from grand mal seizures and brain tumors are one of the causes of grand mal seizures.
Doctors at Children's Hospital tracked the growth of the tumor for 1 1⁄2 years as her seizures grew worse and were not abated by anti-seizure medication, Angela Dietz said.
Grand mal seizures can result in a loss of consciousness and the muscles suddenly contract and cause the person to fall down, according to the Mayo Clinic website. That phase tends to last about 10 to 20 seconds.
In another phase, muscles go into rhythmic contractions, alternately flexing and relaxing. Those convulsions usually last for less than two minutes.
George Dietz said there were times when his daughter was walking along and then have a seizure when she would simply fall down.
Elizabeth's seizures sometimes would last between 30 seconds and 90 seconds, Angela Dietz said.
Prior to having the golf ball-sized tumor removed, she underwent a craniotomy to map the brain and give surgeons an understanding of what was causing the seizures and where they were located.
The surgery left Elizabeth temporarily paralyzed on the right side of her body, Angela Dietz said. Through 10 months of physical and occupational therapy, she has regained use of arms and legs and lives a normal youngster's life, Angela Dietz said.
"She handled it better than we did," George Dietz said of the medical procedures that her daughter endured.
The grand mal seizures that had wracked her body last year lessened to partial seizures and now have been reduced to "simple partial seizures," that occur infrequently over a month, Angela Dietz said. Elizabeth still takes anti-seizure medications and hopes to be weaned off the medication within a month, Angela Dietz said.
"She is my miracle kid. She is doing much better. She is a new kid," her mother said.

Location: Hatepe, Taupo
District: Bay Of Plenty
Three-year-old killed by car
At approximately 8.55pm tonight (Monday, 24 December) police were called to Hatepe village near Taupo.
It appears that a woman was leaving a property down a shared driveway on Te Mako Mako Lane when her car struck a three-year-old boy. Attempts to revive the boy at the scene were unsuccessful.
Police are currently investigating the incident and providing support for the family.
The death of a child is tragic at any time
but is particularly poignant given it is Christmas Eve. Our
thoughts go out to the family at this incredibly difficult
No further information will be provided this evening and the identity of the little boy will not be released until all next of kin have been advised.

TAMPA BAY, Fla. — Teenager Ryo Ishikawa had another rough streak Sunday en route to carding a 5-over 76 at the Transitions Championship for a disappointing finish to his second tournament on the U.S. PGA circuit.
Ishikawa, who on Friday became the youngest Japanese and the fifth-youngest player to make the cut on the world's toughest tour, made two birdies with five bogeys and a double bogey on the ninth — the same hole that gave him trouble in the third round.
The popular 17-year-old made the turn on 39 and had consecutive bogeys on Nos. 15 and 16 on his way to finishing in 71st with a total of 9-over 293.
"This was my most disappointing round of the four days. But I have trained my body and I am moving well, so I am really looking forward to next week. I have to have a solid practice next week and if things go smoothly I believe I will be ready for the Masters," Ishikawa said.
Countryman Ryuji Imada shot a 72 to finish in a share of 46th on 4-over. Retief Goosen fired a 70 to win his first title in four years on 8-under 276.
The greens were so firm and fast that Goosen felt as though he was back at Shinnecock Hills, where his putting carried him to victory in the U.S. Open.
Needing only two putts from 25 feet to win, he was thankful it didn't turn out like Southern Hills. Goosen ran his putt 5 feet past the hole, steadied his nerves and curled in the par putt for a one-shot victory.
"It was great to see that putt go in," Goosen said. "The greens got scary. Down those last few holes, they were definitely getting like Shinnecock was. You just cannot hit them soft enough. It was really tough."
Equally famous in Goosen's career was a three-putt bogey from 12 feet on the final hole at Southern Hills, which nearly cost him the 2001 U.S. Open until he won it in a playoff.
"It was disappointing to hit it that far past. I didn't want to have another U.S. Open there," Goosen said.

How do you say no to drugs and alcohol? How do you tell someone you are feeling depressed?
For teenagers in Lodi and throughout San Joaquin County, these questions can be a daily struggle to answer. But thanks to a group that extensively teaches and trains teens to talk to their peers about these issues, struggling with substance abuse or mental health issues may become easier to address in the future.
