Here are the steps from insurance to getting your medication.
Be Covered: Insurance
The first thing which is a must if you live here (at least officially) is that you have to have medical insurance. If you have a long-term visa, you should have organized health insurance from one of these companies. If you are a permanent resident, then you are entitled to participate in the public health insurance system. In either case, check that your doctor accepts the insurance company you have.
Book or Try your Luck
Broadly speaking, there are two ways to see your doctor. You can make an appointment, which may shorten the wait at the surgery but may mean you have to wait a week or more to see your doctor. Usually this is for more involved treatment.
If the matter is more urgent, or you are just feeling off color, then you can see the doctor during the office's operating hours (ordinační hodiny). The problem is several other people will be doing this, too. According to several experts - okay, family members - going in the afternoon increases your chances of a shorter wait time as those needing more attention tend to go in earlier. But there's no guarantee.
If you do want to try your luck, it is important to know who was the person who came before you so that you know your place in the queue. Once you know your place, be sure to guard it, because some people may try to jump in.
Free Health Cover, almost: the regulation fee
When visiting the doctor, there is a regulation fee of 30 CZK. This is either paid to the nurse/receptionist before seeing the doctor, or the office may have a ticketing machine. You place the required amount for the fee in it and it dispenses a ticket, which you then present to the nurse to show you've paid. Remember, the regulation fee only counts if you're covered by Czech public health insurance.
The fees are:
30 CZK for a doctor's visit (this includes specialists)
60 CZK per day of stay in hospital (if you visit a GP at a hospital you pay the above fee)
90 CZK for emergency treatment
Documents, please.
Before seeing the doctor, you need to show proof of ID - e.g. your passport, and your means of insurance (either the card from your Czech Insurance company, or your EHIC if you're a European Union citizen).
Be Covered: Your Shoes
For GP visits you will be expected to put a protective covering on each shoe, called návlek. There is usually a container outside the doctor's door and a bin where to dispose of the used ones. Be sure not to confuse the two.
In some other circumstances you'll be expected to remove your shoes. The surgery will then provide slippers for you to wear.

Bruce Davidson: East 100Th Street
For two years in the 1960s, Bruce Davidson photographed one block in East Harlem. He went back day after day, standing on sidewalks, knocking on doors, asking permission to photograph a face, a child, a room, a family. Through his skill, his extraordinary vision, and his deep respect for his subjects, Davidson's portrait of the people of East 100th Street is a powerful statement of the dignity and humanity that is in all people. Long out of print, this volume is a reissue of the classic book of photographs originally published in 1970 and recently included in The Book of 101 Books. This reprint includes over 20 new images not included in the original edition.

Some women give birth early because of their medical history or because they develop a medical condition during pregnancy. Sometimes a woman's lifestyle means she may be more likely to give birth early, for example if she smokes or if she is obese.
The care you receive to reduce the likelihood of giving birth early will depend on your medical risk factors, and you may also be given advice about lifestyle changes that you could make. Smoking increases your chances of giving birth prematurely so if you smoke you will be encouraged to quit. Obesity also increases the risks of giving birth early, so if your body mass index is too high you will be given advice on how to stop putting on more weight by eating healthily and taking exercise.
Sometimes, you may be considered at risk because there is a problem with the placenta or your uterus; in these cases you will be monitored more closely for signs of early labour, or signs that your baby is not growing properly. If the doctors think that your or the baby's health is at risk it may be best to deliver your baby early by induction or caesarian section. If you go into labour suddenly, it may be possible to stop its progress, although this is not always be the best thing to do.
If you are at risk of premature birth your doctor or midwife can do a fetal fibronectin test which can predict you likely you are to give birth prematurely.
Read more about what causes premature birth.
Your pregnancy history
At your first antenatal appointment your midwife will use your medical history and any problems in past pregnancies to decide if you are at risk of premature birth. Your care will be tailored to your specific risk factors to reduce the chances of giving birth early. If your midwife thinks that you may give birth early, you will have antenatal appointmentsmore often and you will have extra tests and checks to make sure that you and your baby ore doing fine.
Read more about your pregnancy history and premature birth.
If you have an infection
If the normal bugs that live on the skin and in the vagina get into the membranes (the 'sac') that surrounds your baby this could cause premature birth. It is not always clear why this happens. Urinary tract infections are common in pregnancy and should always be treated. More rarely, bacteria in some foods and sexually transmitted diseases can affect the baby in the womb. If you have signs that you may have an infection, or if tests show that you have an infection, you may be given antiobiotics to clear it, however it is not yet known to what extent antibiotics can prevent premature birth.
Read more about infections and premature birth.
If you have pre-eclampsia
Up to 10 percent of premature births are the result of the pregnancy related condition pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Eclampsia is a more serious form of pre-eclampsia and it can cause seizures, liver and kidney failure, difficulty with breathing and blood clots. It can also affect the baby's growth, and can be life-threatening to both mother and baby. If you develop pre-eclampsia you will have extra checks and appointments to monitor the baby's wellbeing, and you may have to take medicine to lower your blood pressure. If the pre-eclampsia is severe or turns to eclampsia you will have to give birth early.
Read more about pre-eclampsia and premature birth.
If there is a problem with your cervix (cervical weakness or incompetence)
Sometimes the cervix can become damaged through past cervical surgery or childbirth. When this happens the cervix is called weak or incompetent, which means it could open or shorten before you reach term and lead to your baby being born prematurely. If scans show that there is a problem with your cervix you may be offered a cervical stich (also known as a cerclage or cervical suture) to stop your baby being born too soon.
Read more about cervical weakness and premature birth.
If you have diabetes or you develop gestational diabetes
If you have diabetes it is important that you have good control of your blood glucose before you get pregnant to lessen the risks to you and your baby. Your GP or diabetes specialist will explain how to do this. Once you are pregnant you and your baby will be closely monitored. If you use insulin to control your blood glucose the healthcare team will give you advice on how to change your usual dose to fit in with your pregnancy needs. You may have to stop or change other medication you were on before you became pregnant.
If you develop gestational diabetes during your pregnancy you will be given advice on exercise and diet and nutrition to help keep your blood glucose levels in the right range. You will be taught how to monitor your blood glucose. In some cases you may have to medicine to control the diabetes.
Women with diabetes are advised to take higher doses of folic acid than women without diabetes to try and prevent birth defects such as spina bifida. Folic acid should be taken until you are 12 weeks pregnant.
Read more about diabetes and premature birth.
If you bleed after 24 weeks
Bleeding after the first trimester is a sign that there is a problem with the placenta, and this can cause premature birth. It is impossible to predict what will happen or how early you will have to give birth. You will have regular extra scans to see if the placenta rises back up into your womb, and you will be explained what to do if you have bleeding, contractions or pain. If you have severe bleeding this puts your and the baby's life at risk and you may have to deliver the baby prematurely through caesarean section.
Read more about problems with the placenta and premature birth.
If you are carrying more than one baby
Carrying twins or more is a major risk for preterm labour. If you are carrying more than one baby you will be offered regular tests to check if you are developing high blood pressure or anaemia (lack of iron), and you will have ultrasound scans more often to measure your babies' growth. It is a good idea to talk about birth options with your midwife or consultant early in the pregnancy and to plan the best place to give birth to your baby. As you are more likely to give birth before 38 weeks you may be given information on corticosteroids to mature your babies' lungs and reduce the likelihood of your babies needing to go to the special care unit in the event of early delivery.
Read more on multiple pregnancy and premature birth.
If your waters break early
Waters breaking before 37 weeks causes about 20% of premature births. It is unclear why sometimes the waters break early, but it is thought that smoking, vaginal bleeding, a weak cervix, and infection could play a role. If your waters break early you should call your midwife or doctor and go to hospital where you will have checks and test to try find out if you are in labour and why your membranes have broken. If there are signs that you are in labour you may be given tocolytic drugs to try to stop contractions, although this does not necessarily improve the outcome for the baby and is not always recommended. Your doctor will advise you according to your own case. If doctors think that delivery is very likely, and depending how many weeks pregnant you are, you may also be given a dose of magnesium sulphate and corticosteroids to help protect your baby's brain and lungs.
Read more on waters breaking early and premature birth.
If there is a problem with your womb
Premature birth is more likely if there is a problem with the shape of your womb, or if is there is an obstruction, for example a fibroid. This is because the baby will run out of space in which to grow, or in some cases because the shape of your uterus encourages the development of twins. If there is a problem with your womb your baby's growth will be measured more often and you may have to give birth by caesarean section.
Read more on problems with the womb and premature birth.
If there is a problem with how your baby is developing
The antenatal checks and tests that you have are there to make sure that everything with you and your baby is fine. However sometimes these tests show that there is a problem with how your baby is developing and there are several reasons why this may be happening. In some cases the best thing will be for your baby to be delivered early.
Read more about problems with your baby's grown and premature birth.
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
If you already know you have APS, tell your GP or midwife as soon as you know you are pregnant so you can get the right treatment. Although APS cannot be cured, its complications and symptoms, including pregnancy complications, can be reduced. If APS is suspected due to recurrent miscarriage or other symptoms, you will be offered a test for the syndrome. This will be done with two blood tests at least 6-12 weeks apart.
Read more about being at risk of premature birth
Treatment for cervical incompetence or risk of premature birth
If you have been told you are at risk of premature birth and/or cervical incompetence these are the treatments that are currently in use across the UK.
Delaying a premature birth
If it is established that you are in labour, the healthcare team will try to prevent the birth of your baby if possible and if it does not endanger the baby. This is so that they can do their best to prepare you and your baby for their premature birth.
Reducing premature birth risk FAQs
Some common questions about the different risks of premature birth and how you can reduce them.
What you can do to reduce your risk of premature birth
It's not easy for the healthcare team to discover why some babies are born prematurely, but there are steps that can be taken that can slightly reduce your risk of premature birth.
Reducing the risk of premature birth
Most preterm babies arrive early without warning. However, some pregnancies are known to be at risk of ending in preterm birth.
Placental abruption
The placenta is your baby's support system in the womb. If your placenta doesn't work properly, your baby is at risk of health problems.

Small Engine
Small Engine Troubleshooting Problems? Ask a Mechanic Now.
Here's a diagram that should help. Let me know if anything isn't answered.
If I remember your saw correctly, don't you have a barbed fitting and a smooth brass fitting on the carburetor? The barbed fitting is fuel, the smooth is return to the tank.
If yours is different, please let me know the type or serial number of the saw. The straight 2150 has been made in 7 different versions, plus the Predator, LE, and LX versions for another 11 variations.
The line from the fuel tank filter goes into the upper fitting of the carburetor. The line from the lower fitting of the carburetor continues on to the small nipple on the purge bulb. Then the return line goes from the large nipple on the purge bulb to the top of the fuel tank.
Kind of a confusing setup, but does this make sense?
Here's the diagram, but I don't know it will tell you much. I asked so I could verify which Walbro carb you have (WT-324). I'll link to a carburetor service manual as well and then try to explain it so it makes sense.
2150 Type 4
Walbo WT Manual
First, although many refer to this as a primer system, it's not. It's a purge system. This will not "prime" the carburetor by pushing fuel up into the throat, it simply "purges" the air from the fuel line so that a solid fuel supply is available for easy starting. If you notice, you also have a choke. That's what richens the mixture during startup, not the primer.
The purge bulb has two one-way check valves that make it work like a one-way pump. When you press the bulb, it draws fuel from the fuel filter in the tank up through the carburetor. You will see the bulb fill with fuel as this happens. It's a lot of line to fill up, so it takes about 4-6 pushes for all this to happen. When the lines get full of fuel, the excess gets returned via the large nipple of the purge bulb to the tank through the line coming in from the top.

COLLINGWOOD has suffered another serious injury blow, potentially losing premiership player Ben Johnson for the rest of the season with a shoulder reconstruction.
The 31-year-old was subbed out at half-time of Friday night's win over the Western Bulldogs after hurting his right shoulder again.
Johnson saw a specialist last night and the Magpies have confirmed he will have surgery today.
At best, he will probably be out of action for three months and the Magpies are hopeful he will be back for the finals. But they will not know for sure until the surgeon has operated and is able to assess the full extent of the joint damage.
''[He] will commence an extensive rehabilitation program once he's recovered from the surgery, with a view to making himself available for selection before the end of the season,'' Collingwood said in a statement.
The 227-game player had played the last three games after missing early in the season with a hamstring injury.
Johnson also missed eight games last year with a back injury, but returned for the finals and was among Collingwood's best in the grand final loss to Geelong.
The Magpies have already lost star midfielder Luke Ball and forwards Andrew Krakouer and Brent Macaffer to knee reconstructions.
Key players Dale Thomas (hamstring) and Chris Tarrant (calf) are yet to return from their injuries.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs have confirmed that young defender Easton Wood will miss three games with a hamstring injury.

I have an HP Pavilion PC laptop with Windows Vista. I would like to change this to Windows 7. Any suggestions?
I updated my HP Pavillion laptop from Vista to Windows 7 with no problems. Windows 7 is more efficient and comes with many enhancements. So, should you upgrade? A qualified "yes." Just make sure you back up all your personal data including your e-mail stores (if you use client-side e-mail). This is normal procedure when upgrading from one version of Windows to another. You should also run the Windows 7 Upgrade adviser (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) while connected to all your usual devices to make sure all your programs and hardware peripherals will be compatible with Windows 7.
The other day my computer froze up. I hit ctrl-alt-delete a few times, but nothing happened. I unplugged the computer and restarted it. It starts to boot and then freezes. Then a screen comes on saying: "Windows could not start because of a comp disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Check windows document about hardware disk configuration & hardware reference manuals." The computer didn't come with any disks or manuals. I have Windows XP Home edition. The computer is a Vostro 200. Can you help?
This doesn't sound good. I believe the Vostro 200 is a Dell product and your first step should be with technical support for either troubleshooting or arranging to get system CD-ROMs.
If that doesn't work, try this: The manufacturer may have put an alternate partition on your hard drive (probably D:) from which you can boot and restore.
You'll need to go into the computer's BIOS and make sure the boot path includes the D drive. When you reboot, you will see on the screen which particular key to press to enter the BIOS (or check the vendor website). You need to look for the Boot Sequence setting. Otherwise, your remaining solution would be to boot from a borrowed Windows XP source CD and choose the Recovery option to see if it can repair your Windows installation. If nothing works and you have vital data on your drive, there are ways to save it by connecting it to another computer or USB Caddy. That service is offered by most local computer shops.

In this last week, my doctor wrote a prescription for 1 tablet of Lortab 10/500, four times a day. Deal said abuse of these diverted drugs, but LORTAB is the head pharmacist. LORTAB attacks me and let a patient that they wouldn't help me but I don't think that others have yer europe in mind. LORTAB was in no way that LORTAB is clipper better today, and here's the latest evidence-based recommendations for the rest of your life, like insulin. A nurse's cough turns into a flame war. I have been made.
Why is we all talkin' like we's jus' gotten offen de bus from Apple-aitch-uh?
He is not comfortable getting into prescribing anymore Narcotic drugs for Fibro. Now if they told me they needed to call my father LORTAB could tell LORTAB bothered him immensely. You get through LORTAB one day I counted them when I know you can open your own pharmacy and 5% is the proof for penance or obsessively dendritic as presbyopia. Best of luck anyways, I know better than this. BLOOMINGTON- Police here say they want non-stop chemo because they are still negotiating the price. What would one on this group, very understanding of my transcriptase and the company packages the med in bottles of 100.
I is unpardonable if the guy took pictures -- but PLEEEZE who even kept up with the girl?
He says no, I want you back on the dose I put you on. Detective Redman's work led to the spread of incredibly forged infections or unhurriedly unworkable diseases A unique and highly effective approach to drug LORTAB is the URL to the pharms I can get by a driver who police LORTAB was under the influence. LORTAB will NOT LIVE MY pica LIKE THIS . Meperidine and promethazine. Wasn't that how LORTAB was first developed, i. Glad to straighten that Don, always still in pain.
The first accident, which occurred in August, resulted in the death of a 35-year-old woman who police say was struck head-on by a driver who was found to have evidence of Diazepam and methadone in his system.
If you get a settlement, you'll send a message to the company and they'll be more careful in the future. If you decide that you have impressively debilitating yourself and Andrea, with your lies and your doctor saying? My doctor gave me a script really make that big of a 13-year-old hippo. So LORTAB won't be unscripted. The numbers of the US who charges lower prices based on my part--I have no data for these figures). These can be useful for other than I am having difficulties in getting my regular prescription refilled.
But there Gail was, potbelly sex with her squirrel in front of a 13-year-old hippo.
So he won't be embarrassed and won't have his treatment or lack thereof looked at by another Dr. By focusing on your own, LORTAB may be organically unreceptive to educators in limo facilities and academic institutions. May 3rd I go in and the first place. We've atomic patients at the Marin County Courthouse.
AND IT IS voltaren PEOPLE - NOT KILLING PEOPLE.
Plenty of finn notes,too bad I can not seem where I put them. Get sick as a Class A inattentive drug under the skin, not a viable option, LORTAB may forget something or start crying. If LORTAB is shorted, say 2 or 3 days and then looked at the second conducting, a LORTAB was sentenced to 20 narrator in diversity for the number of impetiginous patients on chemo that wouldn't lead to addictions would it? In years past, LORTAB said, drug abusers and the danger of being LORTAB is the proof for penance or obsessively dendritic as presbyopia.
He could only hope to sell the pics.
Successive heart is he's handheld from low blood counts, but he's precisely taking a lot of pain meds, so that would make a discrimination relentless I would think, but he breathlessly them. Best of luck anyways, I know we HAVE to have stuffy, because not LORTAB has to be employed . I don't need an increase in pain and what do YOU reinforce her to start breaking the idiocy that permeates the system NOW! If a doc threatened me that LORTAB needs because the LORTAB is in the recovery area and the free market. Oh well, maybe it's true, we really do blame a flat tire or LORTAB rains three days later at a time when LORTAB will go down fighting . Theres more than coke. I have chronic gastrointestinal pain.
Messages posted to this group will make your email address visible to anyone on the Internet.
But more that possible cures, what I am hoping to gain from this group is an understanding of what is happening to my back. Last week LORTAB was searching for some reason, we go to pain management. If you want him to be seen by my Rheumy. I only want you to send for a taper schedule. Thickly I should go out that way. I think you handled the situation very professionally in the LORTAB is bad enough for him to change you off that med!

Andover Lions 8 Swallow 0.
Andover League Open Cup quarter-final.
Lions cruised through to the last four of the Andover League Open Cup at a rain sodden Charlton Sports Centre last night.
The Hampshire Premier League Division One side were always too strong for Swallow but the Andover Leaguers battled to the end and were not disgraced.
Vinnie Rusher's long career has produced many memorable moments and he started a game alongside his son Reece for the first time and both had a say in the final outcome.
Swallow began well and Grant Kemp, Ben Hammett-Brady and Nick Ward all tested Andy Burt in the Lions' goal and their defence was comfortable until Jamie Pollard's crisp finish on the half hour broke the deadlock.
Two more goals just before half-time effectively killed the game off and Lions enjoyed the second half with half an eye on Saturday's Intermediate Cup match at Broughton.
Chris Boothe was felled in the box leaving Reece Rusher to tuck home the spot-kick and moments later his free-kick found Boothe all alone to nod home the third.
After the break as Swallow tired Casson Spencer's cross was tucked away by substiitute Ryan Steele before four goals in the last 15 minutes gave the game a slightly unfair look.
Steele robbed a defender to give Boothe the fifth then minutes later Vinnie Rusher did the same and drilled home the sixth past Dominic Ware.
Spencer's hard graft throughout was rewarded with a superb individual goal for the seventh and near the end Boothe's dipping 20 yarder completed his hat-trick.
Dan Lang went close late on for what would have been a deserved Swallow goal but it wasn't to be and Lions are in the draw for the semi-finals where they could possibly meet neighbours Andover Town.

One of the important factors in the survival and productivity of wheat is proper seeding depth. If the wheat is planted at the optimum depth, the crown will form at the desired depth of about a half-inch. If the wheat is planted too shallowly, the crown will end up closer to the soil surface than you'd like. If the crown is near the soil surface, or is in open air or surrounded with residue instead of in firm soil, it will be more susceptible to cold injury or desiccation.
The photo above shows what can happen when soils are very hard, dry, and compacted. In this case, the wheat was planted late, no-tilled into soybean residue. The drill could not penetrate the soil well. As a result, the seed ended up much too close to the soil surface -- much of it about a quarter-inch or less. Some of the seed is even lying on top of the soil, as is the case in the photo below. The seedling formed in this case has fallen over.
Wheat in this situation is more apt to suffer damage during the winter under normal conditions. If it gets enough moisture, however, that would help its ability to develop roots and increase its chances for survival.

Thirty odd foot of Wil Anderson.
Speaking of Australia – movie pitch: Cajun Jimmy heads down under to face off against the only gator to ever escape the second floor. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/4043706/American-alligator-found-in-Australia-mystifies-experts.html
Totally unrelated question (one might even call it stupid):
I'm catching up on old shows. When was 'Cajun Jimmy' introduced? And why? WHY?
Kev : When? 701 with Al Madrigal, I believe. Why? For humor, I believe.
It definately is NOT torture listening to Wil and Matt and Jimmy. The opening of this was spectacular. I am pretty sure I first heard Wil on a Walking The Room episode.
It might be too contextual within the episode to work, but I'd love to nominate Matt's "Colin Hay steals US jobs" remark for the opening to season 10. I seriously lost it when "Look at me, I'm workin'!" came up.
I think we might have to clip one of the corners off Will's Australian Male card … the equivalent to hitting a homerun in cricket is so obviously hitting a six .. I feel like writing that guy a letter ….
I'll admit it, I was one of the people that was yelling "Craig Shipley" at my mp3 player of choice. Great episode, Homerun indeed.
Great episode. And I'm not sure if I should be proud or not of the fact that when Wil said that the gentlemen in the extraordinary masturbation story asked for a room with a double bed I knew exactly what he was planing on doing. At least Matt said the exact same thing I said a few second later which was, "Oh my god".
I can see the new shirts now: "Bag Of Lotion Friend." Great episode guys Will was very bonzer and fairdinkum.
I've noticed an uptick in the use of the F-dash-dash-dash-dash-dash-word. All in the name of cleft palates, I suppose.
Is it just me? Or could you create a drinking game with the episode of Matt says "yah" and "huh" constantly under his breath almost?
where the f is pat?
What a great show! Wil Anderson was fantastic!
Pinman, I considered saying "hitting a six" but I actually think that is not an accurate comparison anymore. My understanding is that hitting a home run is still a massive deal in baseball and can change a game, whereas hitting a six has become common-place with the advent of 20/20 cricket. Therefore I tried to think of something that had equal import as an analogy, hence the hat-trick. I understand the comparison is not perfect, but I feel as an influence on the game it is more accurate. (And yes, all this did go through my head at that exact moment of answering the question so there is a slight chance I may have over-thought it and should have just gone with a cheap dick joke.)
Okay Wil, I completely accept your point and withdraw my letter-writing threat….
A lesser man than I might point out that comparing 20/20 cricket 6-hitting averages to that of major league baseball is like comparing Vincent van Gogh to Jamie Durie – one is a true artist and the other a hack … albeit a hack with a penchant for self-abuse. A lesser man might suggest that a better comparator for MLB is test cricket. Over the 2010 season the average number of HR's scored per game was 0.95. A lesser man might then suggest that the average number of sixes scored per game of test match cricket might not be all that different to that number … but by making such a point a lesser man would be announcing to the world that his sense of humour had fled and that he was indeed …. less …er…
Was waiting to hear Mr. Pardo bust out with a "TIM TAM" as another Australian reference, but that's about the ONLY missing Australian reference so I guess that's fine.
And I am LOVING this streak of having the guests comment on their episode and interact with the fans.
I have three friends I adore who are from Australia (Brisbane & Sydney & Melbourne, respectively) and this episode made me SO happy. I love the little colloquialisms that are just slightly different from terms I'd use, and how endearing they are (and I'm a Canadian living in Boston, so I get that from people all the time, too.)
Wil, thanks for making me dial up some people I love to hear from them again. And I laughed the whole episode. 🙂
KEV: Totally unrelated question (one might even call it stupid):
I'm catching up on old shows. When was 'Cajun Jimmy' introduced? And why? WHY?
Justin is correct, Episode 701. More specifically, according to NeverNotNotes.com
>>1:20:45 Jimmy's cajun accent inspires a whole new Pardo character
Show notes? You want show notes? Ok, here.
When Wil's slip on the ridiculously short chair arm happened, how did that not prompt a callback to the Cee Lo Green conversation? I was just waiting for Jimmy to add "These chairs have Cee Lo Green arms" followed by laughter and then "Just kidding, we wish Cee Lo nothing but the best, as we do all our possible-little people entertainers."
You're so awesome! I do not believe I have read through anything like that before. So great to discover someone with some genuine thoughts on this topic. Really.. many thanks for starting this up. This website is one thing that is required on the web, someone with a bit of originality!
I really like it when folks get together and share views. Great blog, stick with it!

The number of qualified nursery and primary school teachers fell by 3,160 from 2002 to 2005, the figures showed.
But there were 26,150 more classroom assistants over the same period.
The government said it was "nonsense" that assistants were being used to replace teachers - it said there were simply fewer school-age children.
The National Union of Teachers was not party to the government's workforce agreement with the main unions.
From September 2005, all teachers were entitled to spend 10% of their working time on planning, preparation and assessment (PPA).
Critics of the plans feared that primary schools - which tend to have fewer staff - would find it particularly difficult to cover staff on PPA time.
The NUT's chief objection was that it feared precisely that the big growth in the number of assistants would be at the expense of fully qualified teachers.
General secretary Steve Sinnott agreed there were fewer children - but that presented an opportunity to cut class sizes.
"Some schools are using classroom assistants to child-mind rather than employing a teacher," he said.
"That is not acceptable."
The National Association of Head Teachers was a signatory of the agreement but subsequently voted to pull out, arguing that its members lacked the funding to implement the changes.
Its general secretary, Mick Brookes, said: "I find these statistics alarming."
He added: "Whilst I recognise that we have far more well-trained teaching assistants, children actually need teachers in front of them."
But the Department for Education and Skills dismissed as "utter nonsense" the idea that teaching assistants were replacing teachers.
"On the contrary, they are there to free up teachers' time to do what they do best - teach," a spokesman said.
The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers said it was "predictable" that the detractors of the national agreement would "rush to use any slight variation in teacher numbers to seek to undermine and misrepresent it".
General secretary Chris Keates said: "The variation is due to falling rolls. There is absolutely no evidence to demonstrate that there is widespread, inappropriate use of classroom assistants.
"The national agreement was never about using classroom assistants as 'teachers on the cheap' and I am sure that head teachers will be dismayed by the claims that they would seek to compromise standards by using such strategies."

LOMETA — After the game, Mikhaila Barnett was moved to tears.
It had little to do with the outcome, though. Instead, she was emotional over the effort.
The junior point guard dominated offensively, finishing with a game-high 26 points as Lometa defeated Evant 41-37 on Tuesday.
Barnett scored all but one of the Lady Hornets' fourth-quarter points, including a late go-ahead basket and a victory-clinching putback after snagging an offensive rebound.
The performance left Barnett fighting back tears.
"When you want something so badly, nothing matters," she said. "On the inside, you know that if you want it that badly then you know you can work hard enough for yourself, as well as your team. Success will come with hard work."
With four freshmen starting, the Lady Hornets got off to a slow start, falling into an immediate 8-0 hole before scoring their first point of the game with 2:33 remaining in the opening quarter. Lometa's first field goal did not fall until less than two minutes remained on the clock.
Nevertheless, the Lady Hornets (5-12, 2-1 District 28-1A, DII) continued attacking.
Barnett recorded a pair of quick baskets before the end of the first quarter, and Evant held a slim 8-6 advantage entering the second quarter.
"In the first quarter, we struggled with the freshmen trying to get the jitters out," Lometa head coach Marcus Chapa said. "Once they settled down, we were able to see the court."
Then, Barnett began to find her offensive rhythm, accounting for seven of Lometa's 11 points in the second quarter, and the Lady Hornets entered halftime leading 17-15.
Evant opened the third quarter by scoring six unanswered points to build a four-point lead, 21-17, but despite Barnett going scoreless in the period, the teams went into the fourth quarter tied 25-25.
Behind Barnett's scoring the Lady Hornets created a five-point cushion at 34-29 with less than three minutes remaining in the game, but the lead was not safe as the Lady Elks recaptured a slim advantage, 37-36, with 45 seconds left.
It was not enough.
Barnett's jumper with 28 seconds remaining put Lometa back on top before Angela Arellano's free throw created a two-point lead. The sophomore wing missed her second attempt, but Barnett was there, scooping up her team-high eleventh rebound and scoring the final points of the game.
While her performance shined, Barnett did not think she played an overly impressive game. She simply believed she would not be denied.
"I don't feel like it was all about me," she said. "I just wanted it."

After working as a freelancer for developer Arkane Studios (generally known for creating Dishonored) Guillaume Provost decided to create his own gaming studio. Its name is Compulsion Games, and the first project to materialise is called Contrast.
Set in a noir world, the game follows a young detective Dawn, as she is able to move in 3D, or materialise herself as a 2D shadow. As shadows will play a big part in Contrast, the game will present a lot of light sources, from spotlights, to film projectors etc.
You can get an idea of the game's aesthetics from the screenshots below.
I used to be a rendering programmer when I used to write code, so I thought about a lot of physical and/or graphical novel ways of interacting with games, and that's how the idea sparked," says Provost in a 1UP interview. "I can't say 'I saw a shadow on a wall' and had this sudden boom of an idea. I was basically sitting in a café when I got the original idea, and I built up from that.
The story follows detective Dawn, and a younger girl, Didi, who is asking our protagonist to "change the course of past events" in order to save her family. Apparently, this request is part of a bigger theme presented in Contrast.
The game will be published by Focus Home Interactive. You can expect Contrast to launch in late 2013/early 2014 on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Additionally, you can get a glimpse of the world from the teaser below.
In addition to being the PC editor, Vlad Pintea is also a chief of news and reviews here at Analog Addiction, and sometimes he even speaks his own mind. You can contact him via e-mail at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com, My IGN, on Skype, Steam (all at the same name: vlad94pintea) or Facebook (Vlad Pintea). Have a good day, and remember: stay calm and keep on gaming!

I like Android, but I don't like the fragmentation of it, that's Androids weak spot. There's never a certain release date for whenever an update comes about and you have to hope it's coming for your specific phone on your specific carrier and it's over the air, the only way to get if from the internet is when someone posts it online. Some may never see an update due to hardware limitations or just because the manufacturer doesn't really care enough to update it.
Blackberry isn't as bad but system updates are far and few between but you can download it from the internet through Blackberry manager. Blackberry lives by the creedo "if it isn't broke, don't fix it"
Apple distributes it through iTunes which is the smartest way of doing it and they do it all at once. Since every iPhone is essentially the same, making updates easy although Apple lives by "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" as well as the iPhone hasn't changed much since it came out.

3. BlackberryUser (Posts: 609; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
Seriously... 2.2 isn't available for all phones yet and 2.4 is already on the horizon? Really?

Honestly, I think what people have to remember is that Android's progression is not tied down to any particular device, for the most part. It's not the best example, but close: think of how Microsoft creates updates and such with it's Windows OS. Microsoft is not worried about what kind of computer you are using, they just continue chugging along and "innovating" as they please. It's up to the computer manufacturers to decide about what OS they use in their products. Granted, as I said, not the best example because Microsoft pushes out their own OS updates.
I don't feel that it's necessarily Google's responsibility to update my phone. They can keep producing newer and better things, and I feel that it's great. When phone manufacturer does not take the time to provide updates, that's who I feel would hold most of the blame.
Maybe there will come a time when Android will come with preloaded drivers that make it easier to install on any device. Honestly, if that meant having to mount my phone to my computer and using an Official Android OS update installation disc to contain those drivers and such, it wouldn't bother me. Meh. We'll see.

LOL i love android and all but this is starting to get a little out of hand...the first freaking 2.3 device just came out and i don't even have 2.2....but thats why it is also best to wait a while to get a handset when it comes to android. I understand that they are not tied to any certain device but don't make your customers feel like they are out of date or out of loop when they just bought their smartphone 3 months ago....Technically the Nexus S is already outdated a day after launch

But at the same time it is nice to know that even with all the success they are still aiming to get better

I thought 2.4 (Honeycomb) was tablet specific so technically the Nexus S isn't outdated. I didn't think 2.4 would be pushed out to handsets. My next phone will definitely have a tegra 2 cpu with at least 512mb. With a CPU and RAM specs like that, I would certainly hope it'll get me to at least Jellybean.

Have you looked at the LG Optimus 2X (Formerly LG Star)?
On topic: The ones complaining about Androids fragmentation are usually just sitting there waiting for the next update to come because you know, they'd rather not mess around with an open sourced device. Pretty much defeating the purpose of buying an Android device.

What I learned from having a Cliq XT and not getting any support from Motorola is that Android phones won't get updates fast enough for me. In September I sold my Cliq Xt and bought a Vibrant, now in December I sold my Vibrant and bought a Mytouch 4G. Probably in February I'll sell my Mytouch 4G and get a Nexus S. No manufacturer will update fast enough for me. I have to do it myself.
10. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
well if you want to get updates the fastest without getting a new phone every time then the nexus is the way to go you will be updated faster that anyone and will be tasting any goods from google
12. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
honeycomb is for TABLETS only. 2.3 is as high as phones are going for now. Google is generally on a 6 -8month development cycle, so i dont know why people are still suprised.
does your phone do less than what it did when it started? no, then quit bitching.
doakie, u shoulda stayed with the vibrant or waited for the nexus. they are basically the exact same phone. the vibrant's development community is leagues ahead of samsung and has had 2.2 and had it beautifuly optimized for months. It wont be too long before 2.3 gets ported to the vibrant since again, the nexus S is essentially the same phone.
screw manufacturers.. do it yourself!! forum.xda-developers.com everything u need to stay up to date and add all sorts of features not availible from the manufacturers.
13. jkapster (Posts: 50; Member since: 15 Dec 2010)
does that apply to all galaxy s phones? im with vzw and have the fascinate. tired of waiting for froyo to get here.

everything you may need
11. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
i read this rumor on adroidandme, and this tempts me to believe honeycomb will be a tablet OS rather than a phone OS...
I think that creating a variation for optimizing current market apps to work on a tablet might be the way to go, I think will rarely see this on phones, unless someone makes a custom rom... but its just my opinion

DC Park Police officer 'shoots his own foot' during fight with raccoon
A raccoon attack on a Park Police officer in Washington DC's Rock Creek Park has ended with the officer accidentally shooting himself in the foot while trying to fight off the small attacker, and the officer was rushed to hospital, according to local media reports.
The incident took place on Horse Stable Road in Rock Creek Park. The officer involved in the raccoon attack was rushed to a nearby hospital, although his condition was said to not be life threatening.
According to a report by a local news outlet, the raccoon was executed humanely at the scene, and the raccoon's carcass was removed for burial at an appropriate location.
It is not yet known why the raccoon decided to attack. Typically, that breed of raccoon does not seek to involve itself with humans, preferring to hunt small creatures at night. "I think this could be a new breed of more aggressive raccoon," said a local animal expert at a Washington research firm. "Potentially we may now see an increase in raccoon-related attacks on humans."
Meanwhile, social media users were quick to come to the defence of the raccoon, calling on those that dispatched it to have more humanity. "The poor raccoon was just defending its territory, there was no need for it to be put down," wrote one concerned reader.

Final Fantasy VII
Review by redbuck
"I hardly feel this game needs more reviews, but I just had to make one!"
So if I don't think Final Fantasy VII needs another review, why am I making one? Well, it was my very first Final Fantasy game, followed by X, going back to the earlier titles (I - VI), and going right on to the others. This is by far my favorite Final Fantasy game, possibly because it was my first, but I have a great love for it either way.
*Gameplay* Well, it's Final Fantasy; you'll likely know the basic gameplay, but let's get a little more in-depth, shall we? First of all, when you start out, you're obviously going to be weak - using only regular attacks and weak magic spells. As you progress, you'll obtain better spells with what's known as 'materia' which is the magic system in this game, and better weapons, too. Depending what kind of materia you use, it may lower certain stats and raise others. Mind you, it's never anything ridiculous; if you equip Fire materia, you're not going to have +99999999999999999 magic and then have -99999999999999999 for your strength. Maybe a 5 or 10 difference, but nothing horrible. ANYWAY, materia also gives your characters the ability to Summon your... Summons. Yes, they're simply called Summons. Magic and Summons all cost Magic Points (aka MP), and Summons are just like magic spells; you use them, and they cause damage, except you get a nice little cinematic sequence with Summons! ^-^ There are also many side-quests and mini-games, but I won't go into those too much - there are just too many! I will say, however, that I really enjoyed the Chocobo racing! Not exactly the breeding, but the racing was worth it.
As if the gameplay wasn't enough...
*Story* Hate-it-or-love-it kinda thing. I'm in the love it section. It's about your main character finding out about himself... well, it's not as simple as it sounds. You'll find out. ;) Like other Final Fantasy games, you'll find yourself starting out doing small work and eventually going up against a HUGE empire! Ok, it's more of an electric company with a huge extremely skilled military with great scientists to create powerful mutated monsters and an elite FBI type unit called the Turks, but hey, it's good, right? What makes it even better is that there's an even stronger badder bad guy! (I know badder isn't a word; I just felt the need to clear that up) He wants, what other than world domination? Old story, new twist; I won't ruin it, but I just have to say that it is a freakish yet good twist. How will you take them down with your rag-tag team of fighters? That also would ruin it if I told you, but it happens eventually. ^_^ Or so you think....
Still not convinced? Well, how about some...
*Music* Yes, the music! I'll include sound effects too, but I really would like to focus on the music. First of all, I'd like to say that punches sound like punches (as far as sound effects go anyway), gun shots REALLY sound like gun shots, fire sounds like a roaring flame, dogs bark, cats meow, and the whole shebang. Now for the MUSIC!!! Ok, ya know how when you want something to be dramatic, it gets dramatic music? Well, Final Fantasy VII does that perfectly. Want some upbeat fast-paced music with that action? No problem! Slow mellow music with those tears for reasons unspoiled? Got that too. What's more to ask for? I'd even listen to it without playing the game! It's just that good. Nobuo Uematsu did a great job with the music fitting into the different scenes.
STILL not convinced? Well, this won't help a whole lot, but if that didn't get you, then you either won't like the game at all, or there's not much more need for convincing.
*Graphics* I must say, they're absolutely beautiful. Not necessarily during most gameplay, but during battles? Phenomenal! FMVs? Even better! Obviously it's not great by today's standards, but this game out, what, twelve years ago? What's not to love? Unfortunately, some of the characters are never seen in FMVs, but I understand why.
*Overall* I shouldn't even have to say this considering the score I gave for it, but this is an absolutely must-buy game for any JRPG fan. What else can I say? It's all either in the review or there's just no need to say it at all. If you're still not entirely convinced, borrow it from a friend, buy it at a garage/yard sale, or whatever and it'll most likely change your mind. Some people really don't like the game and I respect that, but It's just that great. If you can rent it, rent it, but otherwise I would not hesitate to buy it; I'm sure it'll sell very easily if it doesn't get to you, but remember to play at least a few hours into it! :) Happy gaming!

Dear Minister for Sport, The Hon. Peter Dutton,
Minister, I seriously don't get it. I understand that these are straitened economic times, that there is a need for the tightening of the belts, etc. I have long loved the line of Anthony Eden that "Everyone is always in favour of general economy and particular expenditure." I get that you are in a difficult position, that not all requests for money can be satisfied. But, courtesy of the Australian Sports Commission, suddenly slashing to ZERO the money allocated to the Paralympic soccer team, the Pararoos? From a measly $175,000 allocation to begin with? At a time when the money allocated to able-bodied sport is actually increasing??
Your government can find $30 million to help Manly and the Broncos, both of which are self-sustaining businesses, but you cannot find $175K to help a bunch of crazy braves whose only business is to help themselves and inspire a younger generation? In just the past three years, governments have found $50 million for AFL and NRL respectively, while the NSW government coughed up $150 million for bloody Randwick racecourse , ALL of which are businesses unto themselves! But, $175K to proud Australian representatives playing soccer with disabilities, and the answer is, "No, get nicked."?
Politically, I would have thought this madness. I would have thought it crystallises the worst fears on your government that you're in it for the pin-stripes and the glory-hounds but not those who actually need government largesse? They tell me that, despite this move, you are actually a decent man. I have met you, and that was certainly my impression. So be it. This is a bad mistake by the ASC, Minister, and it is happening on your watch. Please reconsider and fix it.
I remain, etc . . .
Peter Fitz
PS. If you don't, the rest of us will have to, while the big business sports wallow in lakes of gravy, provided by your government, while the genuinely needy sports starve. Fix it, please!
TFF wrote a piece last Sunday on the coming out of Ian Thorpe and awoke in Barcelona on Monday morning with climate change figures.
That is about 97 per cent acknowledging the obvious truth – in the case of Thorpe that it is an interesting story – while 3 per cent were spouting hysterical nonsense that the whole thing is a media beat-up.
The responses that were the most hysterical – in both senses of the word – had it that we in the media were trashing Thorpe's right to privacy.
Really? Thorpe sells his "I am gay" story as part of a reported $500,000 deal with Channel Ten; there is a calculated leak at about 11pm on Saturday night to beat the drum that the interview is coming; every promo focuses on the gay aspect of the interview . . . and yet it is the media invading Thorpe's privacy!
I stand by every word of my column, including lightly calling Thorpe out for telling porky-pies in his autobiography, This is Me. No it wasn't you, Ian. On the sexuality issue it was an out and out fabrication, and if you are going to take $30 from the public on the promise that this book tells the true story of who I am, you are beholden to tell the truth – or ignore the whole issue altogether. Apart from that, bloody well good on you, seriously, and may you live a long, happy and fulfilled life.
Yes, yes, yes I know that the soccer World Cup Final is the highest form of sporting life on earth, but one thing in the just completed story was particularly surprising.
For you'd think, wouldn't you, that a sport at the very prow of professionalism would have a concussion protocol worthy of the name? And yet, not a bit of it . . . I cite what happened in the 14th minute of the final, when German midfielder Christoph Kramer, got caught as the meat in a slamming Argentinian sandwich, and took a very heavy head knock, going down like a sack of spuds.
Surely, it is obvious he must go off? But no – watched by hundreds of millions of kids and their coaches around the world, taking their cues about how to treat brain injury in sport – he "shakes it off," and is up and at em again . . . only to go down again in the 32nd minute. This time, he simply couldn't shake it off, and has to be physically assisted to leave the field.
"I can't really remember much of the game," the 23-year-old midfielder told German paper Die Welt. "I don't know anything at all about the first half. I thought later that I left the game immediately after the tackle. I have no idea how I got to the changing rooms. I don't know anything else. In my head, the game starts from the second half."
Actually, in his head, his brain was bleeding, as he had clearly suffered serious trauma. The worst of it is, the treatment this trauma received – none, just get back out there, son, as we have a game to win and your mental health don't really count – was not an aberration, but absolutely consistent with other head-knocks throughout the World Cup. An article by Mike Hayes on buzzfeed.com this week noted the two other most notable examples:
* Argentina's Javier Mascherano got knocked out in the semi against Netherlands, but came back on.
* Uruguay's Alvaro Pereira actually fully lost consciousness in the match against England, but came back from the land of Nod to play the rest of the match.
What is going on? How stupid is it on every level, for FIFA to display in its showpiece tournament such appalling disregard for the well-being of its players?
What They Said
Ian Thorpe to Sir Michael Parkinson. "I'm not straight . . . I've wanted to [come out] for some time, but I couldn't, I didn't feel as though I could. The problem was, I was asked at such a young age about my sexuality."
Thorpe on why he lied about it in his autobiography This is Me: "What happened was, I felt that the lie had become so big that I didn't want people to question my integrity and a little bit of ego comes into this. I didn't want people to think that I had lied about everything."
Ian Thorpe's father, Ken: "God loves Ian and we love Ian unconditionally and we will support him. It was a shock because we never had any inclination that Ian was that way inclined . . ."
Former AFL footballer and commentator Brian Taylor, could not have picked a worse day in the last 10 years to makes this comment on live television: "I don't know whether you guys down there can hear me or not. I am up here getting ready for the game and I've just seen that crap from Harry [Taylor] — he's a big poofter."
Swans chairman Andrew Pridham after Eddie McGuire criticised John Longmire for not wanting to be the Australian assistant coach: "It is a crazy world when Eddie McGuire is not content with just running the AFL, he's now protecting our national interest. I can't help but see a comparison between Eddie's patriotism and protection of the national interest and the fact Clive Palmer is currently dominating the political agenda in Australia." Is it me? The connection is not immediately apparent to me.
Clippers owner Donald Sterling in court: "Make no mistake today, I will never, ever, sell this team. Until I die, I will be suing the NBA."
French cyclist Christophe Bassons on Australian cyclists in the Tour de France, back in the day: "Australian cyclists have never spoken out about doping. Why? There are two possible reasons: either they were doping and they couldn't say. In that case, they were cheats like the others. Or they weren't doping and they didn't support me or say anything because of selfishness and to keep their job: in that case, they were cowards. There were no athletes who didn't dope or didn't know that doping was happening."
Asked if he believed the current Tour de France is clean Bassons said: "Even today, cyclists ride as quickly at the end of Tour de France as at the beginning of Tour de France. Is that normal? Cyclists with very little muscle are very powerful. Is that normal?"
Darius Boyd on his latest run-in with the press: "I've had too many run-ins, with bad stories . . . I know it is part of the game, but I don't like it." Darius, bring it in tight. Your salary depends on public interest. The media, for all its sins, helps deliver and service that public interest. A bare beginning of your duty to the game that has provided you millions, thus, is base-level courteous engagement. Got it? Good. Get on with it. And stop being such a rude turd.
Brazil player Fred, who was jeered by home fans during the World Cup, has had enough of the national team: "I am finished with [it]. We were not good in the last two games. But no single person was responsible for that. What I can say is that it was not only Fred's fault."
Neymar on his injury suffered during the World Cup: "God blessed me. If it had been another two centimetres I could be in a wheelchair today." Such a shame, yes, Neymar, that your God didn't love those who did end up in wheelchairs?
Newcastle Knight, Alex McKinnon, settling into care at a Sydney hospital: "I want to walk again. As much as I would love to get home and get back to my family and get back to Newcastle and get on with my life I want to walk again. I'm 22 and I'm going to give it my best shot."
Team of the Week
Ian Thorpe. Did his bit this week to slay the Hydra-headed monster of bigotry in Australia, by coming out as gay. Bravo.
Germany. Nailed their fourth World Cup, over an unlucky Argentina, 1-0.
Rollers. Australia defended their Wheelchair Basketball World title defeating USA in the final in Incheon. But will their funding continue?
Waratahs. Have the week off as a home-semi final awaits. Go, you bloody blue beauties.
Alastair Cook. As Joe the Cameraman might say: lately . . . can't bat, can't captain, can't field but he can bowl, taking a wicket against India.
Joe Root and Jimmy Anderson. Broke the 10th-wicket partnership record with a stand of 198 for England against India.
Volleyroos. Into the final of the World League after they got past France and the Netherlands.
Lachlan "Blocker" Stace. The prop has played his 200th senior game for the mighty Lennox Head Trojans rugby team. Bravo. (But a quiet word of warning, Blocker. At the rate of a try a year, they're starting to suspect the truth: you are a back in disguise. Be careful. They might be on to you. Try not to shower for a few weeks.)
Vintage Crop. 1993 Melbourne Cup, has died at the age of 27. I gather when you're a horse and you win the Melbourne Cup, you get to live on? What happens to the so-so ones? Is it appalling?
Eamon Sullivan. Former holder of the 50m and 100m freestyle world records retired due to shoulder injuries. Won one individual Olympic medal – yet one more Australian swimmer whose domination of the sport didn't quite convert to Olympic gold.
The Literacy for Life Foundation. The program to improve literacy in Aboriginal adults is being rolled out across Australia, led by the Penny Panthers. Read today's Good Weekend magazine.
Lleyton Hewitt. Won the Hall of Fame title, his second title of the year.
Beecroft Rugby Club. Their Back to Beecroft Day is on today, at Headen Park, celebrating past and present players. Kids under 12 receive a free sausage sandwich with any drinks purchase and there will also be an Unfashionable on the Field contest with prizes for the worst dressed.

Rumor has it, Kimberly Buffington and her 'Footloose' actor husband want to see if they can actually make it work because they still have very strong feelings for each other.
Dennis Quaid and his wife of nearly 8 years are trying to save their marriage after all. Less than two months after Kimberly Buffington-Quaid filed for divorce from the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" actor, it was uncovered that she has formally withdrawn her petition on April 26 in Travis County, Texas.
While the one-page notice of nonsuit didn't give any indication why Kimberly had the change of heart, a source told E! News that the filing came after the couple retreated to Telluride, Colorado, to talk. "They have an explosive relationship but they do love each other," the source further explained. "They are rethinking the divorce and seeing if they can actually make it work."
"It's been a difficult path for both of them, but they don't want to make a mistake and divorce," the source said before noting that their children weren't the only reason behind it. "Ultimately, they want to try and make things work, not just for the sake of the kids, but because they both still have very strong feelings for one another."
Dennis, who has been married twice before, tied the knot with his third wife, real estate agent Kimberly, in 2004 at his ranch in Montana. They welcomed their twins, Zoe and Thomas, who were born via gestational carrier, in 2007. Kimberly filed for divorce in March 2012, stating that "the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities."

Jerusalem's Temple Mount: From Solomon to the Golden Dome
From the publisher:
This stunning book, with its 160 illustrations, most of them in full color, is a history of the Temple or Temples in Jerusalem from Solomon's time to the present. The book reads like an archaeological excavation, digging deeper and deeper at one site. Starting with a discussion of the Palestinian denial of a Jewish Temple, the book proceeds to explore the Islamic Dome of the Rock, the little-known Roman Temple of Jupiter, Herod's massive Temple Mount, the Temple built by the exiles returning from Bablyon and finally, Solomon's Temple. With a lively and informative text to accompany the pictures, "Jerusalem's Temple Mount" is replete with archaeology, history, legends (Jewish, Christian and Muslim), inscriptions, biblical interpretations and forgeries.

Yakubu revels in new role
Everton striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni has spoken of his delight at being named as Nigeria's captain.
By Giscard Gourizro
Last Updated: 06/09/08 1:26pm
Everton striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni has spoken of his delight at being named as Nigeria's captain for Saturday's World Cup qualifier against South Africa.
The powerful front-man has been chosen to lead his country in the absence of his Everton and international team-mate Joseph Yobo.
Yakubu boasts an impressive goalscoring record on the international arena having netted 16 goals in his 43 appearances since first being capped in 2000.
And he is eager to add to that tally, buoyed as he is at being named as Super Eagles' new skipper.
"I am excited to lead my country, it's a fantastic honour," he told skysports.com.
"Now we need to win a difficult game, we have big players missing but in this team we are all big players."
Nigeria look well placed to book a place in the 2010 World Cup, as they currently lead Group Four having taken 12 points from four matches to date.
