Growing up in the late 1970's and 1980's there are some things that bring back such strong happy memories that I cant resist buying Love Hearts and Parma Violets and Refresher lollies when I see them. In fact, its the law, all children need to be allowed to try these sweets! So when I was invited to a 1980's party at the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood to celebrate the launch of Squashies which are little squashy gum versions of the sweets I couldn't have been invited to a more perfect event.
There was cake, endless sweets, pass the parcel, face-painting and a fab museum to explore. Frankly, it couldn't have been better.
My children have clearly never been anywhere where they are allowed to take as many sweets as they like. Saturday is sweet day in our house, we have rigorously enforced sweetie jars and only an accident will result in breaking the rule. When confronted with endless supplies of sweets to sample they were bewildered. 'Take a carrier bag full kids, it's OK!' Said the PR team. The children took two each. So, I made up for it by stuffing Parma Violets into my mouth at a rate of knots. I was to live to regret this when I was trailing around Ikea later in the day buzzing…
|Ned enjoyed the Squashies bean bags at the party!
|Refreshers Squashies are VERY yummy
If you want to find out more about Squashies theres loads of places to have a look, you can actually win a years supply of them on www.swizzels-matlow.com/squashies or download the Squashies World app, you'll find them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/squashies or you can follow them on Twitter @squashies1
I do get excited by sweets, I LOVE sweets so it was great to see some of my favourite sweets made into gummy versions which are ideal for the car. However, I also saw a sneak preview of some new stuff coming out for valentines day. Would you believe 150 million rolls of Love Hearts were sold last year? Clearly popular! If you like quirky tins you'll be dashing out to get one of the 100,000 vintage style tins of mini loves hearts. There are loads of other Love Heart gifts available on line at www.lovehearts.com where if you type in 'LOVE15' you'll get 15% off (until 13th Feb 2012)
Thank you Swizzel-Matlot it was fab to hear that you are still a family business, lovely to see all my favourite childhood sweets are still going strong and we had one of the most memorable days of the year.

The Walking Dead spoilers are always hard to come by, and not always accurate. The leaked photo of Meryl turning into a walker last season was one TWD spoiler alert which panned out, but there is no guarantee the supposed happenings of "The Grove" you are about to read are true or even a little true.
Fans eager to see if Daryl goes back to the dark side of his youth or finds and rescues sweet Beth and they grab a brief kiss amid a backdrops of drooling walkers, will be disappointed in "The Grove." According to The Walking Dead spoilers currently swirling around the Internet, this week's episode of the most popular show on television will focus solely on Carol, Tyreese, Lizzie, Mika, and baby Judith.
As the creepy preview for The Walking Dead "The Grove" episode has already shown, a little girl appears to be playing tag with a walker outside of a quaint little white house as eerie music plays. TWD spoilers compiled on PopDust and show fan websites, indicate that Carol and Tyreese take Lizzie, Mika, and baby Judith stay at the home while seeking a break from walking the tracks and for refuge from the walkers.
Carol is played by Melissa McBride, Tyreese by Chad Coleman, Lizzie by Brighton Sharbino and her onscreen sister Mika by Kyla Kenedy. Walking Dead fans hopeful that Carl will realize his first girlfriend in Lizzie appear to have missed the mark if TWD spoiler alerts are accurate. It appears that Carol may be at it again. The mother figure for the orphaned girls might just be willing to sacrifice little Lizzie for the greater good of surviving human kind.
Holding baby Judith during an evening watch duty, Lizzie and Carol discuss what happened to Sophia. She reminds Lizzie what she and Mika must always be willing to do in order to survive. The following morning the takes to the railroad tracks to Terminus once again. Carol tells Tyreese that she does not think Lizzie understands walkers. She also reveals how worried she is for the kind-hearted Mika. Before the conversation goes much further, the group smells fire – perhaps the one Daryl and Beth set while giving a one-fingered wave to the cabin in the woods.
While Carla and Mika are off on a supply search, Tyreese, baby Judith, and Lizzie come across a legless walker on the railroad tracks. Tyreese prepares to put the undead predator down, but Lizzie, in a freaky little demeanor, begs Tyreese not to kill the walker and claims that the flesh eaters do not always need to take a screwdriver to the head.
While searching for food, Carol and Mika also have a chat about Sophia. The momma figure warns the little girl that walkers are not the only threat to their safety in the cruel world they have been thrust into. Carol informs her that people are also dangerous and that one day, sooner or later, Mika will have to kill someone. Mika insists she could never do such a thing, that she would merely run away as fast as her little legs would carry her.
Once the group is back together, they come across the quaint little house in a grove. The property is more tranquil than anywhere Carol has been since the farm. The trees are lush with fruits and nuts, and the home is too welcoming to simply pass by so quickly. A walker approaches, and Mika shoots the foe without a second of hesitation. Lizzie flips all the way out over the walker shooting and is in hysterics by the time Tyreese and Carol reach her. After Lizzie has calmed down, Tyreese proposes making the house their home and not continuing the trek to Terminus.
Carol is boiling water in the house when she sees the walker from the previews near Lizzie. Carl runs out to kill the unwelcomed guest and once again Lizzie freaks out. The girl shouts at Carol that killing walker is just like murdering human being. Carol and Tyreese are perplexed by Lizzie's mindset and ponder how to handle the situation.
Lizzie wanders back to the tracks to play with the legless walker she talked Tyreese out of killing. Mika finds her sister and watches her feed a rat to her playmate. Lizzie reveals to Mika that she wants to become a walker. Burnt walkers emerge on the scene and the girls run back to the pretty little house to find Carol and Tyreese.
Tyreese talks to Carol about the horrible nightmares he is having about Carol as they walk to the house after gathering fruits and berries. If The Walking Dead spoilers are accurate, the defacto parents find Lizzie holding a bloody knife next to Mika's dead body, as baby Judith crawls out from under a blanket. She tells them that she made her sister a walker and that Judith is next. When they grab for the knife Lizzie pulls a gun. She begs them to let Mika turn. Carol gives in an ties Mika up until she becomes a zombie.
Carol and Tyreese decide that the living are not safe around Lizzie. Carol shoots her and the bodies of the sisters are buried in the grove. Carol later confesses about killing Karen and hands a gun to Tyreese so he can seek his revenge. He forgives her but says he will never forget what she did. They gather up baby Judith and get back to the tracks and make their way towards Terminus.
What do you think about these Walking Dead spoilers?

Roger Sr. (ロジャー Rojā?) is the name of a playable character in the Tekken fighting game series. He is one of three boxing kangaroos and father of Roger Jr.
The original Roger (who first appeared in Tekken 2) is a genetically engineered kangaroo with the ability to fight (as well as be uppercutted through roofs). Roger Jr., his son, replaces the original Roger from Tekken 5 and onwards.
Pre-Tekken 2
Kazuya Mishima took over the Mishima Zaibatsu from his father Heihachi. The Zaibatsu became more corrupt than ever under Kazuya's leadership and engaged in many illegal activities such as assassination, extortion, drug dealing and the smuggling of species. Kazuya also recruited Doctor Bosconovitch to work for him. One of the projects he was commanded to work on was creating genetically engineered creatures. Through Boskonovitch, modified animals were created with DNA samples. Roger was created from Kangaroo DNA, whereas Alex was created using DNA from Dromaeosaurid fossil samples.
Tekken 2
Kazuya thought that Roger and Alex were worthless creations and wanted to kill them. However, Roger and Alex managed to escape. They then met Armor King, who taught them how to wrestle. Both Alex and Roger enter to fight in the second Iron Fist Tournament.
Jun Kazama, a member of the wildlife protection organization WWWC, infiltrates the second Iron Fist Tournament to arrest Kazuya, who is smuggling and experimenting on endangered species. She found Roger and Alex and quickly arranged for them to live out their lives in Australia, where they would be safe.
Tekken 5
Prologue: 20 years later, Roger was kidnapped and taken away. Roger Jr. and his mother joined The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 to find Roger.
Ending Description: After a long struggle, they find him. But they soon discover that Roger was living the easy life, unconcerned about his family and/or fatherly responsibilities. Roger Jr. became shocked and angered at the sight of seeing his dad relaxing while Roger Jr. and his mother were worried sick about him and vengefully uppercuts him through the roof.
Tekken 6
Prologue: After the tournament, life became hard for Roger Jr. and his mother. Shortly thereafter, The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 was announced, and Roger Jr. and his mother decided to join the tournament in search of victory and financial security.
Ending Description: Roger is teaching Roger Jr. boxing moves and bonding with his son, when all of a sudden, his wife comes in and confronts Roger with a picture of him with other female kangaroos. As a result, she uppercuts him up through the roof. The screen ends with Roger Jr. gazing in confusion at what had just happened. Throughout the whole ending, canned laughter can be heard.
Other appearances
Tekken Tag Tournament
Roger appeared as a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament where he once again shares a character slot with Alex. This is the original Roger's last appearance as a playable character in a Tekken game.
Ending Description: Roger is seen playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors" with Yoshimitsu. His boxing glove forces him to choose "Rock". Yoshimitsu, knowing this, picks "Paper". He wins 3-0 because of this.
Tekken Tag Special Alliance Partners
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Though Roger himself did not appear playable in the sequel to Tekken Tag, Roger Jr.'s ending in said game was mainly based on his father, Roger.
Ending Description: Roger comes home with flowers but before going inside, he peeks in and sees his wife, son and Alex eating breakfast. Roger sees that everyone is happier without him. He then remembers both times he was uppercutted by his wife and son. He punches himself in the head for being so selfish and not being there for them.
All of a sudden, Alex busts the front door open, slamming Roger behind. His wife comes out and looks to see Alex playing with Roger Jr. out in the field. She looks down and sees the flowers and note from Roger. She reads it and then eagerly looks around for him, but sadly, Roger is still smashed behind the door.

Since CIRIA published Early-age thermal crack control in concrete
(C660) in 2007, the subject of cracking of concrete structures due to thermal
effects (as well as shrinkage) has continued to challenge researchers and
designers. There has been a flow of comments and queries from readers and there
has been continued research and discussion in the technical press. The author of
C660 (Dr Phil Bamforth) has himself cooperated on further research funded by the
Institution of Civil Engineer's Research and Development Enabling Fund as well
as dealing with problems and assisting with new-build designs.
During 2011, CIRIA held an industry workshop to discuss the key issues which
are under debate and a project has now started to incorporate all that has been
learnt into an update of C660. Those who attended the workshop will form the
basis of a Steering Group but CIRIA members with an interest in this topic and
who would like to be involved should email Alan Gilbertson at CIRIA. There will
be a meeting to discuss the proposed amendments on the afternoon of 7 August
2012. It is anticipated that the updated guidance will be published early in

Yeah, I think the rule would have to be that it just doesn't work. So don't buy with PP anything you hope to sell later.
If it could be sold, you would presumably make back half of the upgrade cost, and none of the "purchase" price. But implementing that rule would be a pain and would make auditing a pain and is just the sort of problematic type of thing that I imagine the campaign staff is likely to handwave and say, "nope."

In recent months, three of the most admired contemporary black female musical artists have come under fire. "The queen of hip-hop soul," Mary J. Blige; the artiste commonly known as Erykah Badu; and perhaps the most celebrated female rapper of all time, Lauryn Hill, have been taken to task in the media for a number of reasons.
Blige was skewered for singing about crispy chicken wraps in a Burger King commercial and for having financial-mismanagement issues at her nonprofit charity, the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now. Blige released a statement apologizing for the kitschy ad, stating that she had not approved the final edit; she also apologized for and admitted wrongdoing about the money issues at FFAWN and said that those involved in the siphoning of $250,000 from TD Bank would be dealt with accordingly.
Badu teamed up with the Flaming Lips to film a video for their collaboration "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." In the video, a nude Badu writhes around in a bathtub. Badu hit the roof after the video was released, declaring via Twitter that she had not given approval for that release and blaming Flaming Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne for the mishap.
Coyne's initial statement of contrition acknowledged the miscommunication. But then he engaged in a Twitter beef, at turns chastising Badu for feigning shock and awe over the controversial video, thanking her for helping to make it a hit by fanning the flames of controversy and also claiming that Badu should essentially be grateful to the band for keeping her relevant.
Then there's Lauryn Hill, who is attempting a musical comeback after years as a semirecluse. Federal prosecutors have targeted her for racking up a bill of $1.5 million in unpaid taxes. Hill acknowledged that she hadn't forked over the money, explaining that she placed the health, safety and freedom of her family over material concerns.
Although these three women have had different career paths and personal lives, one thing they share is a backlash when they attempt to control their images in the public sphere. Historically, black female bodies have been policed in society and in media, so when black female performers fight back against the misuse of their images — which are inextricably linked to their politicized bodies — and attempt to reclaim control over said bodies, they are often met with ridicule and rejection instead of support.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/11/2012 (1727 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE City of Winnipeg is poised to sell the former Dominion Bridge industrial site to a buyer prepared to complete the environmental cleanup of the Dublin Avenue site.
On Friday, city council's property committee will consider a plan to sell the Dominion Bridge site to R.S. Harris for $4 million. The plan calls for the new owner to negotiate a deal with Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship to remediate the site, which is partly littered with non-toxic metal grindings.
The city and province have already reached a draft agreement to share the cost of cleaning up the site, which the city acquired in 2008 in a tax sale. The deal calls for the province to pay half the cost of a remediation plan estimated to be at least $2.9 million, according to a report prepared by city real estate manager John Zabudney.
Since then, the city has collected rent from industrial tenants on the property while listing agent Shindico Realty attempted to sell the site.
Earlier this fall, council's property committee directed city staff to sever Shindico's contract to manage the property. Unbeknownst to the committee or property director Barry Thorgrimson, a sale was already in the works.
According to the terms of the sale, R.S. Harris will be responsible for the site once the cleanup is complete.
The city plans to net $918,000 from the sale, once the cleanup costs and a $100,000 commission are taken into account. The net proceeds will be spent on community centres, historic buildings and land marketing, according to a financial impact statement.

BASINGSTOKE and Mid Hants will be hoping to secure promotion to the second tier of the British Athletics League with a strong performance in their last match of the season at Bath on Saturday.
The Down Grange club's men's team go into the fourth and final National Two meeting sitting second in the table, with 18 points from the opening three matches.
Southampton are five points clear at the top and look almost certain to win the title, but with two teams promoted, Basingstoke are still very much in with a chance of going up.
They won the opening match of the season on home soil, before finishing second in the second meeting at Southampton. However, a sixth-place finish at the last meeting, in Derby, means they go into the final day of the season just one point ahead of third-placed Kingston AC and Polytechnic Harriers.
It was initially thought that the sides were level, but a rescoring of the pole vault from the Derby meeting saw Kingston lose a point, giving Basingstoke some breathing space.
They will be promoted if they manage to beat Kingston and finish no worse than fifth, while finishing one place below the south London club would also probably be enough for Basingstoke to finish above them on match points gained.
Team manager, Ian Byett, said: "It is a big match for us and we are up for it. I'm reasonably confident going in.
"We will not be at full strength, but we should be a lot stronger than we were for the last meeting. Hopefully, that will be enough."
Basingstoke will travel to Bath without sprint hurdler Andy Blow, but their other key athletes, including multi-eventers Ben Hazell and Sam Sleap, are available.

North Coast Stand Down preparations underway at Humboldt County Fairgrounds
FERNDALE - Volunteers are gearing up for the annual North Coast Stand Down for veterans.
"Stand down" means "to break from battle" and that is exactly what the weekend long event is offering veterans. Free haircuts, dental care, health screenings, employment assistance, massages and even pet care will be available this Friday through Sunday at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds.
All these services are made possible through donations, fundraising and a partnership with the North Coast Veterans Resource Center. More than 125 volunteers are helping to make to make the weekend happen and in the past, the event has seen as many as 300 veterans and family members in attendance.
"We're designed to alleviate the problems for our most troubled veterans, whether or not they are struggling or not. Because some veterans just like to come and hang out with other veterans. And of course families are encouraged. I'm a veteran myself. I currently serve in the army reserve. I'm a lieutenant and battalion commander and I believe in taking care of veterans. The military has been very good to me and I believe this is a way of giving back," Allan Dollison, Vice President of the Board of Directors at the North Coast Stand Down said.

Maryland Gov. O'Malley, looking at presidential run, to campaign for Crist
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, who is considering a run for president (and a challenge to Hillary Clinton) is headed to Florida.
Reports the Washington Post: O'Malley "has a full day scheduled Sept. 20 that includes fundraising meetings, campaigning for Charlie Crist, the state's Democratic nominee for governor, and an appearance at a Democratic party reception, aides said."
In April, O'Malley came out in support of Crist over fellow Democrat Nan Rich. The Wall Street Journal this week reported that O'Malley has signed to donors that he would run in a primary even if Clinton does, a departure from past form.

For the record
By Joe Lago, Yahoo! Sports
November 11, 2004
Larry Bird probably has seen the TV talking heads poke fun at the situation or heard radio callers give their take on the matter. The Indiana Pacers' general manager likely has read the opinion of the hometown columnist, and the obligatory joke email will soon find its way into his in-box.
No doubt, Larry Bird is mulling over what to do with Ron Artest after the All-Star small forward made the totally ridiculous request of taking a month off to recharge after exhausting himself on a debut rap album. Like everyone else with a byline, here's my advice on doing the right thing.
Keep Ron Artest, Larry. Don't you dare trade him.
Without Artest, you know there will be no championship banner hanging in Conseco Fieldhouse. There will be no downtown parade to Monument Circle.
Ron Artest, with all of his unpredictable behavior, is the difference between the Pacers being a title contender and just an ordinary playoff hopeful.
Artest when he's not making music is the X factor that makes the Pacers championship material. He is the heart of Indiana's defense (and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year). He is the team's enforcer. In addition to locking down the opposing team's top perimeter scorer, he's capable of pumping in 30 points himself from the inside and outside.
Yes, you inquired about swapping Artest for Peja Stojakovic over the summer, and you acquired Stephen Jackson, who gives you the perimeter shooting your team lacked against Detroit in last season's Eastern Conference finals. Jackson, like Artest, can play a little defense, too.
But you know that Jackson, despite having won a ring with the Spurs as their starting shooting guard, can't lead the Pacers to a title as Jermaine O'Neal's No. 2. He's not a difference maker like Artest. He's a role player.
Ship Artest away and you can count out Indiana in the East, Larry, even if you finally swing that deal for Stojakovic (hopefully you saw what Peja did, or didn't do, in the playoffs). Besides, you're not going to get equal value anyway, not after this latest episode.
Artest wants to win a championship. He even said so while explaining his case to the media Wednesday. After Nov. 23 when he finally releases his album Artest says he'll commit himself to leading the Pacers to an NBA title. You have to believe him, because when Artest sets his mind to something, he'll run through a brick wall to do it.
Artest once said he wanted to stop the guy he's guarding every possession, whether his team is up 20 points or down 20 points. That intense concentration had his teammates in Chicago thinking he was, well, a little different. But that kind of tunnel vision is required to win a championship. If anyone should know that, it's you Larry Bird.
Last season, Artest's game matured, as he knocked down shots instead of opposing players. He was everything you wanted in a small forward.
So what happened to that player? He's still there, somewhere in the world Artest lives in. Trust that your level-headed head coach, Rick Carlisle, can bring that Artest back and get him to focus on the Central Division standings again, not the Billboard charts.
If this was the last straw and you've already made up your mind, at least wait until Jonathan Bender plays before you pull the trigger on a trade. See if the 7-footer is ready to take on a larger role now that Al Harrington is gone.
But once Artest leaves town, say goodbye to Indiana's championship hopes.
Keep Artest and you keep the Pacers in the title hunt.
Just make sure he doesn't have plans to release a double-album in late April.

What was Martina Doing in Hollywood?
Martina McBride was in Hollywood Tuesday night for a tribute to Ray Charles. As we told you earlier this week, she is living in La-La Land for a few weeks while middle daughter , Emma, attends acting classes. Martina is also a judge of Opening Act, a new E! reality show. Anyway, I thought this Martina Tweet was cute. "…at the Hollywood Bowl. I sang with the Count Basie Orchestra. The Count Basie Orchestra y'all!! And, Arturo Sandoval played on my song!". She also placed this photo she took at Instagram, stating "this is such a thrill".

As the clouds of war gather over Cavendon Hall, the next generation must step forward....
The great house of Cavendon Hall has stood on the Yorkshire moors for centuries. Two families, the aristocratic Inghams and the Swanns who serve them, have been bound by loyalty since the first stone was laid. But when war looms, the survival of the great Cavendon estate must rest with the Earl's eldest daughter, Daphne, and her sister in-law, Cecily Swann.
Sons, husbands and brothers are called up to fight; trials and tragedies strike the great house itself, but the women of every generation and background rise to meet the terrible threat posed by Hitler.
The Cavendon Luck has held for a long time. Can it hold in the face of this greatest threat of all - and can it protect the next generation?
©2016 Barbara Taylor Bradford (P)2016 HarperCollins Publishers Limited
"The four young women centre stage are a feistier lot than their Downton counterparts.... These are likeable, well-drawn characters whose fortunes you follow with keen interest...neatly captures the brittleness of the decade that danced and stumbled towards the Great Depression." (Daily Mail)
"Sweeping, fascinating and dramatic...there's even a nod to Emma Harte. The power and emotion come through on every page." (Romantic Times Book Reviews)
Acclaim for Cavendon Hall:
"A classic saga of loyalty, secrets, passion and intrigue...if you've been suffering withdrawal symptoms from Downton, this is for you." (Daily Mail)
"A stately home, a dangerous secret and two families whose fates have been intertwined for generations...a gripping period piece set on the brink of the Great War. Exquisite escapism of the highest order." (The Lady)
"A glorious family saga for Downton Abbey fans.... This is Barbara Taylor Bradford in her element, full of drama, passion, romance and danger." (Sarah Broadhurst, lovereading.co.uk)
really sorry it ended. Wanted it to continue. Made me feel as if I knew them all personally. loved the narrator and her change of voices. characterised them perfectly
"Disappointing - minor plot spoiler alert"
This a most frustrating listen. I had enjoyed the first two books but this volume lacked any tension and was disappointing. Plot lines pop up and are resolved so quickly and predictably that the whole book is flat. One example - our heroine is helping the escape of a Jewish family from Nazi Berlin. Pages are spent on this but when eventually resolved it is so unsatisfactory. You are not even sure if they are ever reunited as not a word is written about it and the family disappear down a plot hole. And finally the author hasn't even bothered with basic research about WW2 eg British Intelligence talk of concentration camps with gas chambers six years before they existed. So if you want to know what happens to the two families this is ok but prepare to feel uninvolved

Today's comic might be viewed as erotic, from a certain point of view.
The idea all began when one day, I randomly named myself cocktOpus, as per our ongoing Mario Kart DS name saga. The capital "O" there is very important, as we've learned from other things. Anyways, I don't know why I chose that name, but it was pretty clear the result of it would be a Hentai comic. It was destiny.
If you're confused by today's comic, but also slightly aroused, then you should probably find out what Hentai is. I'm not going to explain it. It's like The Matrix – you have to see it for yourself.

Girls Explore STEM Careers at CES
Girl Scouts take center stage at Girls' STEM HQ in Las Vegas.
Girls are natural-born scientists! They look at the world around them with inquisitive eyes, experiment and push boundaries, and learn as they go.
We introduce Girl Scouts of every age to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to help them see how they can actually improve the world—whether they're discovering how a car's engine runs, learning to manage finances, or caring for animals.
We'd like every girl to explore different aspects of STEM every year, so we've developed a unique, "fun with purpose" K–12 curriculum to inspire girls to embrace and celebrate scientific discovery in their lives.
By inspiring girls to discover more of what they really care about, Leadership Journeys are an essential part of Girl Scouting. Girls explore a wide range of interests along their Journeys—everything from the arts to the outdoors and, of course, STEM.
For example, in the It's Your Planet—Love It! series, girls can explore the natural world by learning about the water cycle, completing energy audits, assessing air quality, calculating their "food print" and learning kitchen science, and figuring out how much trash is created and how to reduce it.
Recently refreshed to better reflect girls' interests and to focus on twenty-first-century skills, several badge categories make special use of STEM activities. For example:

Thom Yorke commented on the photo shoot he did for the new Make Trade Fair poster campaign. All the shots, in which a celebrity is covered in foodstuffs, illustrate the plight of farmers who are systematically 'dumped on' by rich countries.
Yorke said: "How sweet does your chocolate taste when you know the producer in a country you will never see did not even get paid enough to feed his family? How sweet does it taste when you see the amount of profit a few multinational corporations make on it?
"How sweet does it taste, exactly, to know our own governments prevent these countries from ever getting off their knees and from ever being able to compete and get PAID, erecting barriers and then DUMPING on them from a great height whilst feigning concern? How delicious is it to know that sweet taste in your mouth is one of slavery, a nice new economic model? As it melts in your mouth, how sweet does your chocolate taste, now you know the suffering that it took to get to you?" [from nme]

" Address: 42 Green Lane / Dronfield / South Yorkshire / UK "
Staff very welcoming. Buffet system explained and proved easy and actually better than having the dishes brought to you, as you could try small amounts then go back for more of your favourites. Decor and atmosphere relaxing and tasteful. Suitable for couples for larger groups. Food excellent with a wide enough variety to suit all tastes, from salad to mild ,subtley flavoured dishes through medium specials to hot vegetarian and meaty dishes.The only negative was the choice of desert. To put cheap and nasty cheesecakes on offer with such great indian food was puzzling and disappointing.Overall, highly recommended and the best indian food we have tried!
Zara is derived from the meaning of beauty and associated with the name of a flower, the owner named the restaurant after his eldest child. A nice personal touch.
The site used to be a pub and has had a makeover to make it the Indian Buffet Restaurant it is today.
It is a nice design outside with excellent signage and free parking.
The decor is subtle but pleasant and with Indian cultural prints on the wall which draw the eye and theme the room. Relaxing low level lights illuminate the room and help to create the atmosphere.
There are Bollywood films played on a flatscreen near the 'se-juiced' bar on entry and Indian music played unobtrusively throughout the restaurant.
I was part of a party of eight who ate at Zara, we were seated in the bar until everyone in our party arrived and then moved through the the restaurant area to be seated at a table which had been prepared in advance.
We chose to buy our own drinks, which allowed us to maintain a fixed cost for the meal at the set fee of £9.95 each. There are selections of fruit juices, 'mocktails' and mango lassi as well as the usual alcoholic offerings. Mocktails appear to be made primarily of cola with fruit juices and since I don't drink cola or orange juice, I wasn't inclined to try them.
The expectation is that you'll then get a plate from the side of the buffet area and take some sort of starter from the selection of pakoras and bhajis, kebab and more or the menu dishes.
You then take another trip round for your main meal, choosing from several variations of rice and then the wide choice of dishes to accompany the rice.
I enjoyed the prawn saag with chicken pilau rice, lamb jalfraizi and small tasters of other dishes. The alternatives included: chicken tikka masala, chicken korma, khati gost, chicken madras, meat jalfraizi, vegetable tikka masala and sag paneer. The menu changes daily.
There are vegetarian options but I bypassed those.
There's also a salad bar which a range or the usual salad vegetables prepared in various ways and there are sides like mango chutney, lime pickle and mint sauce, by the bucket load.
The salad bar also includes a towering stack of poppadoms which suit me just fine! There were also naan breads available though I didn't investigate those.
I found the dishes to be very tasty, the flavours of the ingredients really make themselves known but without losing the flavour of the meat or fish. Something I especially like as I prefer to enjoy the flavours of the staple ingredient rather than drown it in extreme flavours designed to test your mettle. No vindaloo for me thanks!
I found the plain rice a little dry which was off putting and the dishes were all rather greasy. A common issue with Indian food but this was far from the most greasy, you can live with it.
There's a dessert selection available, advertised as a wide range but I found it very limited. I ate strawberry cheesecake, clearly a bulk frozen purchase and not made in house and ice cream, from a choice of 3 flavours.
There are sweets such as jelly beans, jelly tots and jelly teddies for the kids and a stack of fresh fruit. My companions tell me that there used to be a variety of Indian sweets available but there were none during my visit and no new stock for two weeks, a huge disappointment. I much prefer an authentic dessert to catering specials.
The first three drinks I tried to order were out of stock, the chap at the bar said there had been delivery this week but I was less than impressed. When driving and not drinking alcohol it is nice to find a reasonable selection, to suddenly find that selection slashed to just 2 options was poor.
I found a hair in my meal, I chose not to do anything about it as I couldn't be certain if it was one of my companions or otherwise, but I certainly didn't want to spoil the atmosphere with my complaint.
There's a warning on the place mat that wastage will be charged at £2.00 at the discretion of the management. It's easy to understand why they do that, but if you've put out a portion of something you expect to like, then find you don't for some reason, it wouldn't sit well to be charged if you've already paid £9.95, perhaps that's where the discretion comes in.
The steps outside are unlit which is bad news if you've had a glass of wine or for the elderly member of our party who needed help to safely descend.
The staff were very polite and helpful and came to clear our plates in between each course. There's a pleasant and polite banter which really makes you feel welcome.
Another nice aspect of my visit was the manager /owner of the business who chatted with our party and dealt with out bill at the end. A manager who keeps in touch with his clientele is always a good thing in my view.
The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed, certainly conducive to eating a good meal in good company.
Plans to expand the Zara restaurant chain are currently in operation with view to finding new sites. I'd say that's a good thing if they can resolve the minor problems.....
Zara was named in recognition of the owner's first child. The owner seems to have caught onto a growing trend towards buffet restaurants. This has been a long time coming! Buffet restaurants are often to be found in America, but are a more recent arrival here, and mostly they have been Chinese (around here anyway).
For a fixed price of £9.95 per adult, or £6.95 for under nines, diners can help themselves from a range of starters, curries, side dishes and desserts. Bear in mind these prices could change, so check when booking a table. Drinks are extra. One drink that is particularly worth trying is Mango Lassi at £1.50 a glass. It's delicious.
Starters are a range of lentil bhajis, onion bhajis, pakoras, kebabs, salads, pickles and poppadums. I noticed about ten different curries, including chicken madras, prawn saag, lamb bhuna, chicken kurma, chicken biryani, chicken liver, and for vegetarians, a vegetable curry and a chickpea dahl. These are accompanied by plain basmati rice, pilau rice and naan bread. Desserts are a choice of three ice-creams, toffee cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake with various toppings and squirty cream. There are also sweets such as jellybeans and jelly bears for the younger diner.
The restaurant is also offering a take-away deal called Buffet Bag n Box, which are selected from their daily buffet menu and packed in the kitchen by their chefs. Menus can vary so it is advisable to check what's on the current days menu.
The prices for the Bag n box are as follows:
Starters £2.20 a box
Rices £2.20 a box.
All main courses £3.20 a box
Poppadoms 30p each
Plain nan £1.20 each
Keema, peshwara, garlic and special nans £1.50 each
Chapattis 60p each
Paratha £1.20 each
Assorted pickle trays £1.00.
Zara is open 7 days including bank holidays, 5.30pm to 11pm.
It's not the first time I've been to Zara and I would certainly go again. It's great to try a range of different curries. Sometimes in a curry restaurant I've found a meal is too bland, or way too hot, but that's what you're stuck with. A buffet means you can try a bit of various curries and you're sure to find something you like. A word of warning though. Don't overfill your plate and waste food unnecessarily as you may find you'll be charged an extra £2.
The kebab as a starter was a bit too hot for me, but I enjoyed the bhajis. On the other hand, I found the chicken kurma was too bland for my taste. That would be okay for younger diners, or someone who doesn't like highly spiced food. The chicken biryani and lamb bhuni were spicier, but also rich in flavor. The pilau rice had a nice aromatic flavor and wasn't too oily.
The desserts were less enticing than the savoury courses and I was a bit disappointed to find there were no traditional Indian sweets there, which I enjoyed last time I went. I enquired about what had happened to them, and it seems they have a new supplier and new Indian sweets will be arriving soon.
Overall, it's a pleasant dining experience. The décor is understated and contemporary, with subtle lighting and textured fabric blinds and ceilings. Waiters are on hand to clear away plates between courses and bring fresh drinks. There's a separate bar for parties to meet up in for a pre-dinner drink. There are unlimited refills on soft drinks, which is good news for drivers. Parking is good, as there is a shopping precinct car park right at the back. The one quibble our party had was the Indian music in the background, which got a little bit irritating, although it wasn't exceptionally loud. Then again, some people like that as part of the Indian restaurant experience, so I suppose you can't suit everyone.
Zara is planning to expand its restaurant chain and I think, from what I've seen, they could be very popular.

Construction workers and vacation goers now have a place to stay near Hardin.
The Hardin Board of Aldermen gave final approval to property owner Jason Raasch to build an 11 stall mobile home park in the city.
Raasch has been pursuing the complex since last summer when he initially presented the idea to the board. Some skepticism came from board members and Public Works Director Larry Eastley.
The city and Raasch debated back and forth the last several months over sewer line drops and the amount of waste that the park would produce.
The board and Raasch agreed on a deal that would also give the city a minimum water fee for the park's usage.
Raasch needs to obtain some elevation figures and then a building permit will be issued.

Style: 37654423 Colour:
Made from our sheer and gauzy Endless Summer fabric, this co-ord features an off-the-shoulder crop top with a smocked elastic band for easy wear. The wide leg gaucho style trousers have an elastic waistband. Both pieces feature an unfinished raw trim.
Endless Summer
An Endless Summer- Whether you live the beach lifestyle year-round or dream of making the great escape, explore the collection of our most effortlessly ethereal styles under the sun.
Love this set!
I am usually a size Small but after reading the other reviews I ordered an XS and it is perfect! The quality is good and the fabric soft. The pants are long on me and will differ depending on your height; but the quality is beautiful. The shirt will hike up over the shoulders if you raise your arms; so it's something to be mindful of when you wear it! It's an easy color to mix and match with too; oh and pants have pockets which I love.
Not for curves
I had high hopes for this outfit! When I pulled it out of the bag, I was immediately disappointed in the color (ordered FAWN). I was expecting a girly soft but deep pink. Almost rose. It was a muddy purplish pinkish brownish color. Even the bag was labeled
I just wore this in california and it was perfect for the weather and for on the beach. The top is a little short to wear without a bra. The skirt is true to size, but stretches, so could prob go down 1 size. Its just so flowy and casual. Did get compliments!
I got this set a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. It is easy and comfortable. I am between a small and a medium and the small fit better so it does run a little bit large. The blue is not see-through at all even though it is a gauzy material. I plan to wear it on an upcoming beach vacation to Mexico.
Not flattering
I bought this in the ivory in an XS, which is my typical FP size but unfortunately the fit was large and awkward. The pants were huge and made me look like a short clown and the top wouldn't stay down on my shoulders as show online. The top of the shirt kept riding up to sit on my shoulders. The material also looked cheap and dirty and there wasn't anything flattering about it. I am 5'3" tall and curvy so maybe a tall thin girl could get away with wearing the top but the pants don't seem like they could work on anyone and the shirt constantly riding up while standing still was annoying.

Pretoria - South Africa's fight against HIV and Aids has in a very short time become a success story, President Jacob Zuma said on Friday.
"We have about 2948 public health facilities now initiating patients on anti-retroviral treatment compared to 495 in January 2010," he said in a statement.
"One of our greatest success stories is the remarkable 50 percent reduction in mother-to-child transmission of HIV from about 8 percent in 2008 to 3.5 percent in 2011."
The country now had more than 1.7 million South Africans on anti-retroviral treatment, which had improved life expectancy dramatically, he said.
Zuma's remarks were made after United Nations Aids executive director Michel Sidibe visited him at his Mahlamba Ndlopfu residence in Pretoria.
Sidibe congratulated Zuma and South Africa on the strides the country was making in the global fight against HIV and Aids.
He asked that South Africa lead efforts in Africa, especially in manufacturing their own medicine and thus reducing dependency on countries outside the continent.
Zuma added how remarkable it was that more than 20 million people had been tested for HIV through the counselling and testing campaign he launched publicly in 2010.
"This indicates that the stigma around the disease is being eradicated, which will assist our continued prevention efforts; and the rate of new HIV infections looks set to decline over the coming years, as we deepen our existing programmes." - Sapa

Morning Joe Manages to Devote 12+ Minutes to Lauding Letterman Without Mentioning His Liberalism
Today's Morning Joe devoted a seemingly endless opening segment to the lavish lauding of David Letterman, who yesterday announced that he would be retiring sometime next year. Not once, but twice, Joe Scarborough actually equated Letterman's importance with that of the Beatles. Gag me with a walrus.
But not once in the 12-plus minute love letter to Letterman did anyone find time to mention the liberal slant that Letterman brought to the Late Show. Ironically, in the subsequent segment Scarborough lambasted Harry Reid for, among other things, lying in claiming that Mitt Romney over a period of ten years hadn't paid any taxes. Guess who else perpetrated the same lie, accusing Romney for good measure of being a "felon?" Yup, Letterman, as documented by our dear late NewsBusters colleague, Noel Sheppard. View the Morning Joe video after the jump.
How would you explain Morning Joe's lacuna when it came to mentioning Letterman's liberalism?
JOE SCARBOROUGH: And you've got to put David Letterman--and of course Carson was Letterman's hero-- in the same category. The fact that we had him for as long as we had him. I see you smiling. I'm completely sincere. This is -- I mean, I put him right up there as far as entertainment goes with like the Beatles.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Oh, I'm not laughing. I totally agree with you --
SCARBOROUGH: As far as people who have changed our lives.
. . .
SCARBOROUGH: Everything that followed was shaped by David Letterman just like all the music that followed February, 1964 in America was shaped by the Beatles.

Acerca del creador
cabinetmaker by trade and photographer by design. As a cabinetmaker, Kendall focuses his energy on designing and manufacturing furniture for a more meaningful material culture – often incorporating cast-off materials or rejuvenating vintage materials to incorporate sustainable practices in his designs. As a photographer, the same principles apply. Being socially, economically, and politically conscious while documenting unfamiliar countries and cultures helps Kendall to create and capture an intimate, perceptive, and meaningful photograph. This relationship between the photographer, his camera and subject does not stop at the release of the shutter. For the principles of sustainability to be present in his photographs this relationship must be part of a continuum. Kendall has chosen the Cambodian Land Mine Museum Relief Fund to be the primary beneficiary of this book.

Ingles District Supervisor Ranny Akers has requested an ad hoc committee be appointed to develop a long range study and plan for a recreation center to serve Pulaski County.
Akers said he would like to see a plan developed that would be similar to the county's Comprehensive Plan in that it would determine what the county's recreation needs will be in five, 10, 15 and even 25 years, as well as a plan for how the county can meet those needs.
In order to have a broad base of ideas, Akers suggested the committee be made up of representatives from the county, Pulaski, Dublin, Fairlawn, Hensel Eckman YMCA, and Pulaski County Recreation Department.
"It may start out as a large group and then let (the group) decide how to dwindle it down from there," Akers told fellow supervisors at their recent meeting. "I'd rather the committee thin itself out as to who is needed and who isn't."
Supervisors Chairman Joe Sheffey asked whether the county doesn't already have a recreation committee still in existence.
County Administrator Peter Huber said there is a committee that is studying indoor recreation. He suggested members from each of the organizations Akers recommended be added to that group. He also suggested a school board representative be added since the schools include a number of recreation facilities.
Akers asked that county staff look at getting a committee formed, but added, "You don't have to have it done immediately."
Earlier this year, the county was considering purchasing the former TMD Friction building for use as an indoor recreation center for county residents. The plan drew wide support from citizens, but the Board of Supervisors later decided to hold off on the project when it received information on state funding cuts that would impact the 2010-11 Fiscal Year Budget.

Elsanna is a limited edition bespoke designed racer with wonderful handling. She was designed by Brian Whitmarsh and built by his son Jamie. The very deep vee hull form is the most significant aspect, with a sister hull coming second in a Round Britain Race - proving the pedigree. The modern diesels offer great economy. This boat was not commissioned until 1995. She has had a great deal of money spent on her, ensuring she is in very good condition throughout. For 10 of her 20 years she has be stored in dry stack boat storage, just coming out for the odd long weekend.
To view this super racer please contact Roy Heeley on 0788 094 7376. If you are visiting from the mainland we suggest you come on the Lymington ferry and we'll meet you in Yarmouth.

She is in very good condition, with a few small cosmetic issues that are being sorted out by the current owner. She doesn't feel like 20years old at all. She has been stripped back and will be freshly anti-fouled before handover. Some lucky buyer is going to have a lot of fun with this boat.

Samsung Galaxy S III for Verizon is reportedly going to eventually get global roaming support
0. phoneArena posted on 05 Jun 2012, 15:41
It's now being confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S III for Verizon Wireless will eventually gain global roaming support, though, it'll be absent during its initial launch with the carrier. In fact, Verizon mentions that a future software update will be made available...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

thanks big red. i talked to a rep yesterday who stated that if i pre order the phone then i will NOT lose my unlimited data plan......nice
7. mandkeee (Posts: 82; Member since: 27 Feb 2009)
yes...that is true.....you can keep your unlimited data ...100%
i checked as well.
2. belovedson (Posts: 1052; Member since: 30 Nov 2010)
i talked to someone as well but the rep wasn't absolutely sure until it is released
4. McLTE (Posts: 922; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
My experience with Verizon global roaming has been abysmal at best. The speeds are slower than 1x and unreliable as hell. I've never lost data more times in my entire life than the times I have been abroad with Verizon's roaming.
Switched to AT&T for my work phone and that has been absolutely perfect while in Europe.
9. omarc26 (Posts: 360; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
i agree i took a verizon iphone 4s to europe yea it worked but on gsm edge only i tried everything to get it to work on vodafone 3G in spain no dice while my at&t iphone 4S had full bars of 3G everywere i went. Its the same thing in mexico which i go alot since its just a 2 hour drive from LA yea they both work verizon roams on iusacell and only get 1x everywere no 3G evdo roaming AT&T roams on telcel and movistar and gets 3G EVERYWHERE . So yea i think at&t deff wins with the better roaming agreements. Heck even sprint has better roaming than verizon i have friends on sprint that have gone to mexico with me and get 3G evdo while roaming in mexico while verizon only has 1x . And on at&t and sprint u can still use data services while roaming on verizon u cant u can only call and signal is not reliable it constantly keeps searching which i dnt understand cuz sprint also is cdma and is more reliable in mexico nvr looses signal same with att So yea i think verizon has the worse roaming agreements .
13. lsutigers (Posts: 821; Member since: 08 Mar 2009)
A few months ago I went to Europe for the first time since switching to Sprint and the Motorola Photon 4G worked flawlessly on 2G and 3G with Sprint's global SIM card and I also ended up purchasing Vodafone, TIM and Orange SIM cards as I traveled through Europe, they all worked like the Sprint SIM but I saved a few bucks in the process. The only reason I ended up going back to the Sprint SIM card was because my phone number stayed the same. I was afraid it would not work as well as when I had AT&T but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't travel overseas when I was with VZW so I can't comment on that.
On a separate note, I am going to Puerto Rico and the US / British Virgin Islands in July and Sprint's Network Vision is supposed to be up and running by then, I can't wait to try out the EVO LTE out there since LTE wont be available in FL until August - September.
6. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
this appears be becoming the norm for Verizon LTE handsets. even phones like the Razr are getting updates to allow Global Roaming.
10. skymitch89 (Posts: 1363; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
If it has LTE, I bet that it will have Global Roaming.

I want to byuld muscle but i want to do it the full natural way with out protein supplyment products. I realize this will take longer before i see results but pls answer if you know of any food and drinks that i could take that would nearly match a protein shake.
So I workout and after I have a protein shake and bar. I just found a bar that has 32 grams of protein, but has 26 grams of carbs. Is that not good? How many grams of protein should there be for each gram of carbs?
Protein and metabolism foods. If you know any please list more than 10 for either.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/8/2013 (1481 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Readers are used to this column dealing with the major issues relating to world-wide travel, with coverage of those gem destinations that are on the bucket-list of those who covet global exploration.
And while that, and responding to your specific questions, will always be the prime focus, I think that our own region has much to offer for those who may not be thinking of long-distance travel.
I write about Canada frequently, but it's not that often that I get to extol the virtues of this province and the nearby Northwest Ontario region. Having travelled around the world and seen a fair bit of it, I think we have a lot to be proud of.
This long weekend is perhaps the good opportunity to start participating in the many festivals and other interesting options around Manitoba and nearby Northwest Ontario. Most of these are within three hours of Winnipeg, and they're all are worth visiting to capture some of the warmth and personality of these regions.
Perhaps the shortest drive for a festival is to Steinbach's Pioneer Days. In just over 30 minutes, you'll be able to experience the pioneer life that was the foundation for our province.
Farm-oriented activities include old fashioned threshing machines, log-splitting, butter-churning and traditional craftwork such as quilting. Enjoy a barbecue meal as you watch the horse show. The children can participate in events created especially for them.
A visit to the Mennonite Heritage Village should be a must during your time there.
Further afield waits, what is perhaps Manitoba's best and most widely known attraction, Dauphin's National Ukrainian Festival. The region itself is interesting, while the festival's three days of activities give you a chance to appreciate the history and culture of the Ukrainian-Canadian experience in a relaxed and unhurried manner.
Many may not be aware that the Icelandic Festival in Gimli, Closer to Winnipeg, you can learn all about Islendingadagurinn. is second-oldest ethnic gathering in Canada, or that the region is the largest Icelandic community outside of Iceland.
One of my favourite of all ethnic desserts is Icelandic Vinarterta (Veen-ar-ter-ta). Try it and you will be rushing to the bakery to take some home with you. There's a midway, sandcastle-building contest, loads of cultural exhibits and an ongoing traditional program.
A short trip west takes you across the border into the Lake of the Woods region of Northwest Ontario, where a number of events and activities are worth taking in this weekend.
For more than half a century, the Sioux Narrows Arts Festival has welcomed visitors from all over the U.S. and Canada. It's a unique attraction in a very small community that has built its reputation on selecting exhibitors with offerings ranging from fine art to clothing, woodwork, and even furniture that will find its place in homes and cottages throughout North America.
For outdoor-oriented families and fishers, this resort-filled community is often the reference point for great Canadian fishing.
Harbourfest is an annual celebration that's also taking place in Kenora, Ont. this weekend. Each day, full of activities, is highlighted by a major concert in the evening. On Sunday night at 10:30 p.m., an impressive Pyro Musical Fireworks display caps off the weekend.
Can't get away this weekend? Plan to head out to Winkler next weekend for the annual Harvest Festival and Exhibition. I been to this one many times, and the organizers do an excellent job presenting a wide array of truly exciting options in entertainment that includes touring acts, rodeos, a midway and fireworks display.
Later in the month, help celebrate aboriginal culture at Manito Ahbee, which takes place from Aug. 18 to 21 right here in Winnipeg. This is a big one that is highlighted by the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards and the International Pow Wow Competition Summit.
On the Aug. 23-25 weekend ,it's the Morden Corn and Apple Festival, another event I've had the pleasure to attend on many occasions in the past. You can't beat these prices -- free corn on the cob, free apple cider and free bus tours! The festival ends with a gospel stage performance on Sunday.
This is just a sampling of the range of attractions that take place in Manitoba and Northwest Ontario over the summer. There's a multitude of other country experiences -- rural golf trails, our far northern world-class attractions, country fairs and, later, the many fall (fowl) suppers.
These are all tourist products, and we can be proud of the unique urban and rural experiences we offer.

ASHLEY HUGILL sent out a stern warning to his rivals for the York Masters snooker title after he demolished Mick Borg 3-0 in the last 16, writes Steve Carroll.
The aspiring professional who, along with Steve Gregson, is considered the favourite for the crown, struck breaks of 74 and 62 as he stormed into the last eight.
Borg actually looked like taking the opening frame at Layerthorpe when he potted the green only to snooker himself on the brown.
Hugill pinched the frame and never looked back, securing a number of tough pots to secure the second before his 74, the highest of the tournament, wrapped up the match.
The competition, which is being held on a World Snooker standard tournament table above city player Adrian Barraclough's Quickslide showroom, aims to find York's best player.
Lee Taylor booked his spot in the quarter-finals with a 3-1 victory over Paul Holmes. Both players produced some fantastic safety play in the opening frame but it was Taylor who got the breakthrough with a 55-30 success.
Defensive play ruled in the second frame as well but Holmes kept his cool to level the match. Taylor forged back in front 66-29 and it was 69-22 in the fourth frame as the Malton player went through.
Heworth's Kevin Gall also reached the next stage with a hard-fought 3-1 win over Burton Lane's Daz Colledge.
Colledge, the winner of group 'C', couldn't get his potting arm going in the opening two frames and Gall took advantage of a number of chances to forge into a 2-0 lead.
A number of long reds helped Colledge hit back to take the third frame but Gall won the match with a 67-22 success in frame four.
Gall said of his tournament hopes: "I will certainly have to raise my level for the next match, although I am looking forward to the challenge."
Pete Glover was the first person to get through when he beat John Dowd 3-1.
In the remaining second round matches, Dan Potter meets Paul Mahoney tomorrow, Glen Mountain and Roland Cox square off the following day and the last 16 concludes with Gregson versus Jordan Worobec on Tuesday.

Wudang Kung Fu
Fundamental Training,
Sequence, and Martial Applications
by Zhou, Xuan-Yun
Wudang Kung Fu Fundamentals Revealed For thousands of years, the Wudang arts were kept secret from the outside world. This program shows, for the first time, the fundamental training practices used on Wudang Mountain. This one-on-one lesson offers detailed instruction of a warm-up routine, and the basic stances, punches, and kicks of Wudang Kung Fu. The fundamental Wudang Kung Fu sequence is also taught with practical martial applications. This program offers deep insight into traditional martial arts training, no matter what style you practice.
Wudang Mountain in central China is a physical and spiritual sanctuary. Covering over 300 square kilometers, it has 72 peaks, breathtaking lakes and rivers, and a forest with over 600 known medicinal herbs. Home to dozens of temples, it is the world's largest Daoist center. Daoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that teaches people to live a refined life, in harmony with nature.
The monks of Wudang Mountain centuries ago blended Daoist concepts with traditional Chinese fighting arts, integrating physical and spiritual practices, and internal-style Wudang Kung Fu was born. Wudang Kung Fu emphasizes flowing and agile movements, designed for self defense. It develops a strong root, proper body alignment, efficient movement, and a relaxed body and mind.
Features performances by senior YMAA Instructors Nicholas C. Yang and Adison Martin.

text: Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. (NASDAQ: SNTA) announced today that preliminary results from the ENCHANT-1 clinical trial, which evaluates ganetespib monotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed locally advanced or metastatic HER2 positive or triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), achieved the prespecified criteria for advancing to the second stage of the trial. Of the initial five HER2-positive patients enrolled in the study, two achieved objective tumor response and two achieved stable disease (SD) within the three cycles of treatment on study (12 weeks). Of the initial ten TNBC patients enrolled and evaluable for response, two achieved objective tumor response and three achieved SD following treatment with ganetespib monotherapy. ENCHANT-1 is a 'window-of-opportunity' study designed to evaluate the clinical activity of single-agent ganetespib over a 12-week period preceding standard first line treatment. The protocol specifies advancing to the second stage of enrollment in each cohort if there was at least one objective tumor response out of the initial fifteen evaluable patients specified for Stage 1. This criterion was achieved in both cohorts, and therefore both cohorts will continue to enroll patients up to a total of 33 evaluable patients per cohort. Metabolic response was also assessed in the study, by comparing baseline and week 3 PET scans. Of the five HER2-positive patients, four achieved metabolic responses. Of the 13 TNBC patients with post-baseline PET scans, six achieved metabolic response. "Ganetespib appears to be what many of us in the Hsp90 field have been seeking for many years: a well tolerated, highly potent Hsp90 inhibitor that is clinically active in tough-to-treat cancers," said Dr. Neil Spector, Co-Director of Developmental Therapeutics Program, Duke University and an investigator on the trial. "Given the known role of Hsp90 in fueling breast cancer growth and metastasis, and the single-agent activity seen with ganetespib, I believe this compound has potential to be an important new therapy for women with breast cancer."

The men quoted by Max D. Steuer is his authority for the criticism of the Joint Distribution Committee include in the most unqualified praise and approval of the achievements of the Committee, declared a statement issued by the Joint Distribution Committee over the signatures of Felix M. Warburg, Chairman, Herbert H. Lehman, Vice-Chairman of the Reconstruction Committee, and Paul Baerwald, Treasurer, replying to the charges made by Mr. Steuer on his return from Zurich.
The statement which gives a review of the entire work of the Joint Distribution Committee since 1914, lays particular emphasis on Mr. Steuer's charge concerning the alleged loss of 40 per cent, of the moneys forwarded to Europe prior to 1925 through the fluctuation of East European currency. The leaders of the Joint Distribution Committee declare that they were aware of the difficulties and chose their course with "eyes wide open," it being a question of either extending help in the hour of need or postponing it beyond time when any help from American Jewry to the suffering masses abroad would be needed.
"It is misleading to imply that money was lost or stolen either through carelessness, thievery or incompetence," the statement declares. "Not a cent of the money so generously contributed by American was lost or diverted from the real purpose for which it was given. Had the J. D. C. altered its work because of an inevitable currency depreciation during the time the Polish mark went from 800 to the dollar to 250,000 to the dollar, or had refused to give help to the needy simply because their loans probably could not be repaid when due, they would have been inexcusably remiss both in their duty to those whom they represented here and to those unfortunates whom they were trying to succor abroad.
"Fortunately, we of the J. D. C. appreciated the situation and refused to pursue the cowardly course, which would probably have saved us from irresponsible criticism now voiced, but which undoubtedly would have meant the suffering and destruction of untold thousands abroad, and would have subjected us to the more serious charge of sacrificing the lives of those whom the Jews of America sought to save from starvation. Our work had to be carried on under conditions created by the unprecedented calamity which had overwhelmed Eastern Europe and which had destroyed its entire economic structure, and had isolated it from the rest of the world.
"To show that we chose our course with our eyes wide open, we beg to quote the following resolution adopted after full discussion and consideration by the J.D.C. in executive session in December, 1922:
"This Committee is now and has been since the inception of its work fully aware of the risk of depletion of its funds through a depreciation in the currency of the various countries in which we are operating , and through other caurses. It has considered the matter from every angle and it has been faced with the following choice:
"1. "To discontinue its credit activities until the currencies of the countries in which we are operating become stabilized, or
"2. "To continue its work in the face of almost certain substantial loss or diminution of capital.
" 'It is felt that to postpone the work until economic conditions become so stable that there will be no longer wide fluctuations or depreciations in the currency would be both inconceivable and indefensible. Our funds have been given to the Joint Distribution Committee with the understanding that relief or reconstructive aid would be furnished at a time when such relief or aid was urgently needed, as is now the case. To postpone our work until the currency becomes stabilized would mean in all probability postponing it beyond the time when any help from American Jewry to the suffering masses abroad would be needed. Such help is obviously needed to-day in Russia, Poland, Rumania, Lithuania and elsewhere, and it is the opinion of the committee that there is no doubt as to its duty in offering such help as we can even in the face of almost certain very great losses or diminution in capital.
"'This point of view has been publicly expressed by our Chairman on many occasions at meetings and conferences of the Joint Distribution Committee, the American Jewish Relief Committee, and of gatherings of others interested in economic help abroad.'
"We are proud of this decision made in 1922 and have no apologies to make of the course followed by the committee since that time. We know from our own investigations and from the testimony of thousands of those who have been helped abroad that the work has been thoroughly worthwhile, and that the staff here and abroad has brought to it devotion, loyalty and honest effort.
"Famine and disease and the hand of death could not be stayed until the financial downfall could be rehabilitated. We were confronted by a question of life and death and not one of making a good or bad bargain.
"The very men who are now quoted as the authority for the criticism now voiced by a single individual, who does not pretend to have personal knowledge, have, in the past, indulged in the most unqualified praise and approval of the achievement of the Joint Distribution Committee." the statement concludes.

Hello there
using the lubricants will help but with someone like you, I would actually consider surgical excision of the cysts. So if they are real bothersome, I would go see the ophthalmologist and let him know, he may consider removing them for you. It is a fairly straighforward in office (minor surgery room) procedure.

BREC withstands cold and wet month
A cold and wet January means a spike in power bills. But, as a Clemson man told us this week, he's just happy to have a warm house. The multi-county electric power retailer Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative experienced a month avoiding major interruptions. Its spokesman, Terry Ballenger, says improvements system wide, such as Blue Ridge's tree and tree-limb cutting program, have helped. Ice and power lines, he says, just do not mix.

Hey guys. So, today, August 21, me and my boyfriend vinwerneck (You should totally follow him, he's awesome. REALLY!) are celebrating our 4th anniversary! (: We bought awesome nerdy gifts for each other, and today we went with our friends to "Bienal do Livro". It's an event that happens once every 2 years that has books and comics, and famous people in the business. Well, the place was crowded, felt like hell... The good thing is that we found great comics like Ultra and The Pro. And of course, we spent time together.
We discovered that Ivan Reis, the Blackest Night and Brightest Day drawer, was there yesterday. That was so sad and disapointing... Well, maybe in 2 years we can get his autograph.
Anyway guys, here are some picture of the place:
EDIT: 2 more photos. I thought we had more photos, lol, sorry ):

JERUSALEM (Aug. 12)
Former Premier Golda Meir revealed here today that she had gone to "a certain country" and held 14 hours of talks with its President, Premier and Foreign Minister, who told her they were confident that President Anwar Sadat sought an Egypt-Israel meeting at the top level. She agreed at once, saying this was the happiest news she had heard in years. Technical arrangements were made for further communications to set the meeting. Her hosts said a firm answer should come through from Cairo within 10 days–but nothing further was ever heard.
Mrs. Meir told the story at a luncheon in her honor by the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. Observers immediately concluded that the "certain country" was Rumania, which Mrs. Meir visited on a sudden invitation from President Nicolae Ceacescu in May 1972.
At the luncheon, former Foreign Minister Abba Eban also stressed that the previous government had undertaken many and varied peace initiatives. When the time came for these to be publicized, he said, Israeli citizens would be surprised by their number and their variety and they would convincingly disprove accusations that the previous government was not zealous enough in its peace efforts.

Who wants to be a millionaire. Playing the Thai Lottery might give you a slightly better chance than most lotteries. The Thai Lottery is held twice a month, on the 1st and 16th.
Latest Thai Lottery Results – Are you a Winner.
The Thai Lottery is paper based and the winning numbers are drawn by hand, not by machine, as in many other countries. Each ticket has 6 numbers printed on it. You can choose any number you want. In addition to the major prizes, there is a separate draw for the last 2 and last 3 numbers on the ticket.
The Thai Lottery (Huay) is immensely popular with Thai people, being their only legal opportunity to have a flutter, the lottery being made legal in 1974. Many of the ticket sellers are sold out days before the draw. Nearly everyone will claim to have a special system for picking the winning numbers, some people traveling large distances to their favourite temple or shrine. As well as the legal state lottery there is also an illegal, underground lottery called "huay tai din".
Thailand Lottery Results are published online by the Government Lottery Office within a few hours of the draw and you can also purchase a list of the winning numbers at major road intersections in the cities and from some of the ticket sellers.
