Irvine Welsh's controversial first novel, set on the heroin-addicted fringe of working-class youth in Edinburgh, is yet another exploration of the dark side of Scottishness. The main character, Mark Renton, is at the center of a clique of nihilistic slacker junkies with no hopes and no possibilities, and only "mind-numbing and spirit-crushing" alternatives in the straight world they despise. This particular slice of humanity has nothing left but the blackest of humor and a sharpness of wit. American readers can use the glossary in the back to translate the slang and dialect--essential, since the dialogue makes the book. This is a bleak vision sung as musical comedy.

A BOOM in cycling this year has proved to be good for communities and charities as well as individuals.
More and more people are getting back on their bikes for their health, for fun, for a cheap way of getting from A to B and for the environment.
And hundreds of cyclists took part in an event at Oulton Park this summer for charity, raising thousands of pounds for five good causes from across mid Cheshire.
The counting is complete, the sums have been done and the final amount raised by the Get On Your Bike event in June has been announced as more than £9,700.
The event was organised by Vale Royal Lions with St Luke's Hospice, the Neuromuscular Centre, the North West Air Ambulance and League of Friends for Tarporley War Memorial Hospital, in conjunction with the Guardian's Pedal Power campaign.
Maureen Hellyer-Brown, from Vale Royal Lions, said: "We are delighted to report that this successful event raised over £9,700 and each of the five charities received around £1,950 to use for their community work.
"A huge 'thank you' from Vale Royal Lions Club to everyone who supported the event and contributed to this success."
She added: "This was an opportunity for cyclists to ride on this famous track in complete safety, a unique experience."
The event, which took place on June 16, saw around 400 people cycle around the hallowed racing circuit.
Cyclists of all ages took part, from four-year-old who has just mastered the art of riding his bike without stabilisers to a 90-year-old who cycles every week and everything in between.

|12.2.01 - I didn't go to the base of any of these climbs, but here are some observations from the trail. Grace Falls looks like it is formed, though it looked quite thin. There were some short curtains on Odessa wall, but that was about it. Guide's wall looked fat. Jaws had one or two thin (1-2 feet?)ribbons coming down.

|"North Face" of Notchtop is in beautifully as of 4/28. Bring a few snow anchors and beware of avalanche. Dug a column and found no shearing in new snow but several sloughs came down from the top while climbing so stick to shelter (generally right side of climb). Huge cornice at top so climb early and climb fast. Also saw some possible ice/mixed of a more difficult nature around to climber's right side of "North Face" bowl, but Direct and Left routes were indiscernible.

|Scouted out the North Face Route on Notchtop through binos on 10-28-02. The ice is in but looks pretty thin on the initial rock band. A cornice is forming up on the ridgeline above the route. Grace Falls are forming up, the Odessa Wall ice routes are not quite touching down yet and the Guide's wall is very thin. I saw some nice looking ice/snow gullies forming up on the south face of the Little Matterhorn. P.S. Looking for ice climbing partners interested in slogging/skiing into the Park this season.

|Sunday (2/16/03) we (my two friends, Sean, Sara, and myself) headed up Odessa trail, cut off to Ptarmagin Glacier. Climbed up the south edge of Ptarmagin Glacier, crossed Flattop and came down Tyndall Glacier. 5:30AM to 3:30PM car to car. Aesthetically pleasing route... not overly difficult. Sara had not done alpine snow before and she did fairly well. More details posted on Tyndall Gorge/Emerald Lake page.

|I've been to Notchtop a couple times in the past 2-3 weeks. Grace falls is in but the ice was kind of rotten (3 weeks ago). [Guide's] Wall was also in as usual but [also aerated]. Odessa Wall is in and thin---looks good and hard. Beware of very unstable snow in the area. I saw the slope under Grace Falls slide.

We scrambled up the Ptarmagin Glacier this weekend. All the alpine ice routes in the basin there look great. Spotty covering of dense snow over crampon friendly ice. The Hourglass gully (most westerly) is a bit more melted out than is typical at the rocky constriction of the Hourglass, but otherwise these icefields and the Ptarmagin are in the best shape they have been in years. Go get 'em before they are covered with new snow!

|Grace Falls has several climbable lines. Pretty steep WI4ish Hot Doggies is good size but not touching down. Guide's Wall was empty.. Long slog for a decent day.

|On 10/8 we climbed the western gully of the Ptarmagin Fingers on the north side of Flattop Mtn. Trail was snow-free to 11,000'. On the route there was 1-3 feet of windloaded snow, most blown in during this past week (moderate avi danger?). It was a fun snow climb. We dug down once to put in an ice screw, otherwise we encountered no ice. Did not see any water ice forming yet on Notchtop, Odess or Guides wall. but, with moderate snow load around, some melting and freezing should get it going.

|My partner and I did the North Face of Notchtop today Tuesday, Nov. 22) and conditions were STELLAR! The snow conditions seem very stable. We never broke through the snow crust the entire way to the first rock band. Perfect crampon conditions. The ice over the first band is probably WI4- and in great shape. The following three pitches are fun WI3, M3. The ice isn't super thick so we didn't use anything longer than a 17cm screw. There is ice forming everywhere below the north face (Hot Doggies is IN, probably WI5/6) and the trail is hardpacked all the way to the NW chimney......GET AFTER IT! conditions like this don't last forever!

Partner and I did NF Notchtop 11-19-06. Really hard first pitch (I thought) with thin ice/ hollow curtain and hard to get (where you wanted it) pro. Avalanche conditions did not seem that bad although the cornice, at one point, has a full curl with the "lip" touching the slope below it (maybe that's a good thing?) and (all the way up) you could see old crown faces where weaker slabs had pulled out. Snow was mostly wind packed with a soft(er) cramponable surface mixed with tightly wind packed power, except above the last ice pitch (which, BTW, was excellent), where it turned more "sugary" and offered no (real) pro what so ever in leading the final 200 feet to the top. This was somewhat disconcerting to do with our belay "anchor" consisting of 2 ice tools stabbed into a hummock of frozen turf (found good #1-#2 Camalot placements in rocks a bit above final ice WI3 pitch, put a cam in, but kept climbing until reaching our "Layton Kor anchor")
The 1st pitch was definitely the crux on this day and more time consuming than the ensuing pitches, the middle section went quickly with protected simul-climbing all the way to the base of the WI3 ice pitch. It may seem like a no-brainer, but putting harness on and gearing up prior to starting up the snow cone to the base of the first pitch will save you some hassle as its steeper up there than it appears.
Good luck up there-

|We went to check out the NE face of Notchtop on 1-10-2010 and found a large amount of unconsolidated snow covering the ice in most places. Only one column was visible from a distance.

Sheppard's team is lured into a brutal ambush by a message that appears to come from Ladon Radim, the new Genii leader. McKay, Teyla and Ronon escape their mysterious assailants, but Sheppard is captured and taken to an unknown planet. When Weir demands that Ladon comes to Atlantis to explain, he willingly agrees, swearing that he's innocent and insisting that the identification codes used in the message were stolen from him.
Sheppard finds himself the prisoner of his old nemesis Acastus Kolya, a renegade Genii warrior. Kolya believes that Ladon stole his rightful place as the leader of their people - and he plans to rectify that betrayal. After his spies inform him that Ladon is in Atlantis - just the move he hoped Ladon would make - he contacts the city with a video signal. As Weir and the team watch with horror, Kolya allows a captive Wraith to feed on Sheppard. He warns Weir that he will repeat this monstrous act every three hours until Weir turns over Ladon - or until Sheppard is dead.
Kolya expects that Weir will be too softhearted to resist, but she knows that submitting to his demand is as bad as negotiating with any other terrorist. If they want Sheppard back, they must rescue him themselves. Accordingly, McKay enlists Ladon's help to track down Kolya's stronghold, but after a dramatic raid on a suspicious Genii outpost, they come up empty. Ladon swears he's doing his best, but Weir and her people have had too many dealings with the devious Genii to trust him.
Sheppard, meanwhile, has made an unsettling discovery: the prisoner in the cell next to his is the captive Wraith. Kolya is torturing them both: Sheppard during the painful feedings, and the starved Wraith during the hunger-filled intervals between them. Both initially refuse to feel sympathy for the other. As two more torturous feedings go by, however, they accept that they share one common goal: to escape. Thus, working together, they break out and flee into the woods outdoors.
But after the suffering they've endured, they don't have much strength left. Exhausted, they must hope that Sheppard's friends rescue them soon. Until then, their survival depends on the uneasy truce they've established. Similarly, the success of the rescue mission depends on Weir's uneasy alliance with Ladon. If either the Wraith or the Genii breaks his word, Sheppard will never make it home.

A professor is engrossed in his research on Beowoulf and finds that the boundaries between this earliest work of fiction and his own dreamworld is slowly blurring. Reports in the news of horrific and bloody killings pique his interest and may also have something to do with his dreamworld. Or are they one in the same?
A couple of things: 1. What's a "double Gibson"? (That's what Moss' character orders at movie's beginning.) 2. For some reason this episode's always confused me a bit at the ending...maybe it will be clearer to all of you. 3. Moss, a Shakespearean actor, has times when his training shines through. He also (at times) has his "Homer Simpson" moments when he sounds like he's saying his own version of "dohhhhh..." In this episode it comes when Hammond's psychiatrist character has got Moss's character on the couch and is asking him who he really is. Moss answers something like: "I'm no WHEAAA..." (There's an RMT episode called "The d*mned thing", based on an Ambrose Bierce tale, where Moss plays a man killed by a creature and multiple people have to give their testimony at a legal hearing as to what they believe happened. As they relate their stories Moss makes his unique "Dohhhh..." sounds over and over, and it's almost unintentionally hilarious.) Moss was a GREAT talent regardless...one of the RMT's finest who was there from beginning to end for them.
James Baird
a Gibson is (aka a dry martini): • ice • 2-1/2 measures of gin • 1-1/2 teaspoons dry vermouth • 2 cocktail onions a double Gibson is double gin, double vermouth.
Lorry Jane A.
One more thing on "the bloody legend"...it's a Milt Wissoff and not an Elspeth Eric play. Yet there's a bit of "psychological study" at work in this one as well, obviously. (Weak father/domineering mother/affectations on only son.)
just finished listening to this one. I seem to like tales where there is a killer on the loose and there is nothing anybody could do to stop the killing. This story ended without an explaination of what was coming out of the storm. I guess it is left up to the listener. I look at the ending as an unfinshed story by design or the unability to write a good enough ending to tie into the story. I'm going to say it's by design.
Mr. Tate
(O K, after the second listen I think I'll classify this as 90% "I got it now" and 10% "What the heck was THAT? ) A college professor is an authority on the epic Beowulf, said on that web site to be the oldest surviving epic in British literature.
The professor and his wife are good friends with a psychiatrist, and that's a good thing. When the prof nods off to sleep, he starts reciting Beowulf in chapter and verse, and then some. People around his community meet violent deaths. This episode would also be one you wouldn't want your sensitive child to listen to...at one point something gets loose in an animal shelter and does terrible things there. (It didn't affect me like "Star Sapphire" but I remembered it enough to cuddle with our adopted-from-the-Humane-Society poodle/terrier mix dog last night and this morning.)
It's probably a good thing that the psychiatrist is a friend, because the professor is one of his clients, and here's where you have to listen. The prof apparently had (if I remember this term correctly) what some psychologists call a "classic triadic" relationship with his parents (weak father-domineering mother-affected son). No offense meant in advance to anyone reading this, but usually you hear of a relationship like this with prehomosexual boys. The prof is married in this episode, to a very devoted wife, but through the therapy sessions we learn he hated his somewhat abusive mother, and seems to objectify her as the "sea hag" (shown as the hyper-buxom she-monster confronting Beowulf above). The prof, when either in his dreams or on the therapist's couch, seems to waver between thinking he's the personification of Beowulf or of the evil monster Grendel, the sea hag's spawn.
What's more interesting is that one can't tell whether he's leading the psychiatrist (who asks "Who is Grendel in your life?" to the prof) or vice versa.
This, somewhat like the "Lauder" episode above, is a made up play using an existing story. Like the enjoyable Ralph Bell performance, this one is wonderful as a means of showcasing the late, classically talented Arnold Moss reading the Beowulf prose. Just be prepared to listen carefully if you play this or else you may find yourself going "huh?" (Or maybe that was just me...)
Jansen F.
Take one very typical werewolf story, remove everything supernatural, and replace with heaps of psychoanalytic theory. Presto! You now have yourself a Bloody Legend, with a literary conceit (in the form of dramatic readings of Beowulf passages) desperately trying to lend the proceedings a bit of gravitas. Actually, those passages of Beowulf are the most atmospheric and creepy of the entire play, which is otherwise notable only for the unintended comedy of the world's most incompetent mental health professional ("Why, no, it never occurred to me that those gruesome mutilations could have some link with the violent man who comes to in torn, bloody clothing every morning, why do you ask?"). Note to aspiring writers: never interrupt your terrible story to remind people of much better stories. A dreadful mess that still manages to be a tedious bore.
Matt Sandwich
This was an okay story, but I wasn't sure who was causing the deaths - the professor or the psychiatrist. Of course, there is a possible supernatural angle at the end of the story as well. I do like Arnold Moss and he was great in this story, but it just wasn't the best of stories for me.
After reading all the other comments, I feel kind of lame by saying "I liked it..even the ending." I got hooked on CBSRMT in the late 70's and LOVE listening to them again!! Many many thanks!

Shot While Hunting In Forest County
Last week Geo. Hudson and his uncle of Pittsfield went to Forest County to look after some land and took their guns to do a little hunting. While they were in the woods and crossing a small stream they had to cross a log. The young man told the uncle to be careful in crossing the log. He was careful, but when the young man went to cross the same his gun was discharged in some manner and the bullet went in one side of the body and came out the other side, killing him instantly. This happened on Saturday last and the body was taken to the home of his parents in Pittsfield and the funeral was held Wednesday. The deceased was 30 years of age and the parents and relatives are heartbroken over the sad accident. He was a very fine young man and had many friends in his neighborhood.
Shawano County Journal
19 Dec 1907
While Harry Belding and his nephew, George Hudson, were hunting rabbits near Lakewood, the latter was killed by the accidental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of the former. At the time of the accident Hudson had jumped across a small creek, and was followed by Belding. When the latter jumped his ammunition sack hit the hammer of the gun, causing the discharge. An inquest resulted in a verdict of accidental death.

Even in the chaos of war, there are rules. In armed conflict, people will die, but they shouldn't be hunted. Countries can capture strategic members of another country, but they shouldn't be tortured. Leaders can exert their influence, but their tactics should be reasonable. War was understood, war crimes were unacceptable.
In 1899, the First Hague Conference was assembled to put these ideals into formal statements of laws that would govern wars and armed conflicts. Eight years later, the Second Hague Conference continued the work. A third conference was scheduled to take place in 1914, but as a result of the start of World War I, never happened.
The rules and procedures for the investigation and prosecution of war crimes, however, were in place and the same laws are upheld today. When someone breaks those laws, the force and attention of the world is at the ready to bring them to justice.
Following are some of history's most egregious war criminals, what they did and what punishment, if any, they received.

I use #20 (sometimes mixed with #2) in Face & Body and #29 in Mat Velvet+, which is a tad light for me. The differences between the shades are subtle. I LOVE the Face & Body for the natural look it gives to my skin.I've found nothing better than the F&B for retinoid dried skin. It works well, period. That is, if you aren't trying to "change" the your skin with heavy coverage. So let it be established that I LOVE my Face & Body, especially in the colder months.
Before trying this, I went to the Sephora site to get a handle of the various colors/undertones in this foundation, and that was extremely helpful. Now that I wear sunscreen religiously, I can look pale with the right shade of Mat Velvet with a "flat" look because of the super matte finish.
Has pump bottle--a plus.
After trying on a few, I purchased 118, which is for light skin with beige undertones (and the lightest hint of yellow to balance). It smooths redness and gives a very light/medium highly pigmented matte finish. If you want serious cover, go for Mat Velvet. Not as "skin-like" as the Face& Body. In fact, I felt as if every flaw was exaggerated. UPDATE: until I started moisturizing with Sage Hydrating Emulsion. Now I use the F&B and lightly dust with Besame or Majolica Majorca 24h pressed. On warm days, though, I have started using the HD .
As another reviewer mentioned, the HD makeup does look a bit better after about 10 minutes, much like the Face &Body But the deal is that this formula can look powdery and uneven you are not properly moisturized/primed underneath. Sure, if you have oily skin, it will work if applied properly and lightly.
Update after a year of Face and Body:
If you have any issues with dryness or large pores and unless your skin is smooth and moisturized, this high pigment formula dries quickly into a light matte finish and seems to accentuate the pores, lines, and flakes IF YOUR SKIN IS NOT PROPERLY BALANCED. Please, I do not mean to shout. I initially gave this foundation a terrible review. Tried it again when my skin was oiler and with a light touch and the right color, it is an excellent warm weather foundation.
I use Sofina ss so prefer no ss in my foundation.
I tend to use the Face & Body with a bit of the High Def over my oilier areas. It gives a nice finish. On very warm days, the High Def, lightly smoothed on, gives a nice finish that can be blotted. As mentioned before, I use the Majolica Majorca 24h Pressed Fantasia, which is an incredible powder for fairer skins in terms of translucency and non-drying properties.
So I've upped my numbers for the High Def. Just be sure to get a perfect color match (get samples and wear/check under different lighting) and do NOT apply too heavily. If you are into heavy coverage, forget it. Also, if you don't properly prime your skin (with a proper moisturizer or primer/silicone ss) this may not work because of the lighter coverage. I.f your skin is dry, I do not recommend at all

NY Gov Assembles Cigarette Strike Force
ALBANY, N.Y. – New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a new cigarette strike force that will crack down on illegal tobacco trafficking and sales, and work to trace any illicit financial earnings from such activity. The team is composed of local, state and federal agencies dedicated to stopping the influx of counterfeit and untaxed tobacco products into New York, according to a news release.
"This new law enforcement strategy will help to crack down on these illegal cigarette sales and capture those smugglers who seek to evade the law and rob the state of the revenue it is rightly owed, thereby putting an additional burden on law-abiding taxpayers," stated Cuomo. "Would-be traffickers are now on notice: They will be caught and they will be brought to justice."
Members of the strike force will combine resources in order to improve their database of crime-related intelligence and share critical information as they work to disrupt and dismantle major trafficking organizations.
Strike force members include:
- New York State Department of Taxation and Finance
- U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
- U.S. Custom and Border Protection
- U.S. Department of Homeland Security
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration
- New York County District Attorney's Office
- Richmond County District Attorney's Office
- Rockland County District Attorney's Office
- Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Department
- Erie County Sheriff's Department
- New York City Sheriff's Office
- Niagara County Sheriff's Office
- Suffolk County Police Department
The initiative will be coordinated and managed under the leadership of the Tax Department's Criminal Investigations Division. Michael Spinosa will serve as chief investigator to supervise the strike force. He previously served as a detective sergeant with the New York City Police Department, where he supervised long-term narcotics investigations.
So far in 2014, the Tax Department seized contraband cigarettes in 18 separate cases under Spinosa's leadership, according to the governor's office.
Currently, the tax on a pack of cigarettes in New York State is $4.35, with an additional $1.50 tax added in New York City. Possession of unstamped cigarettes carries a penalty of $600 per carton and possible criminal charges.
"This seasoned team will take a multi-pronged approach to cigarette tax enforcement," said Risa Sugarman, deputy commissioner of criminal enforcement for the Tax Department. "In addition to targeting the trafficking itself, we will use our intelligence centers and audit powers to trace financing activities and stop the criminal organizations at the roots of the crimes."
Assets seized during strike force investigations will be shared among participating agencies.

COLORADO SHOOTING/ Mother of VT survivor: I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach
Aurora, Colorado (Infophoto)
As news of the shooting in Aurora, Colorado spread around the country, shock and horror mingled with anger at the fact that massacres of innocent people continue to happen in the United States. Ilsussidiario.net interviewed Lori Haas, mother of a girl wounded in the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre and Vice President of the VTV Family Outreach Foundation, created after the massacre to help the families of the victims, who describes the "sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach" that she felt when she heard the news of James Holmes' shooting spree, as well as her "immense amount of frustration and, frankly, anger" at the lack of an adequate response from the government. In terms of the work of her Foundation, geared towards helping the survivors, as well as advocating for changes to prevent further violence, she states that "many changes have been made, but it is a long process".
As the mother of a survivor of the Virginia Tech massacre, what did you feel when you heard the news about the shooting in Colorado?
It is a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. You are brought back to the horror that your family went through. It is disgust at what happened and concern and compassion for those families who are going through such hell because that's what it is. As good as my situation turned out, it was just hell going through it, so a lot of thoughts and prayers for those families who are experiencing it.
Do you feel disappointment with the system, seeing as these things keep happening?
Yes, I feel an immense amount of frustration and sadness and, frankly, anger. We have the means to do a better job of managing the gun laws in this country so that we can make Americans safer, and we are not doing it. This is unacceptable to me. We have the talent, the know-how and the technology to do better background checks, pass assault weapon bans and keep the guns from dangerous people and we do not do it. This is what happens: people die.
What does your Foundation do and how has it helped the friends and families of the victims of the massacre at Virginia Tech?
VTV offers help to the survivors of the attacks and their families, including guidance and comfort, and also services to help them with education and work. The Foundation is also involved in ensuring that this does not happen again by helping to determine best practices for campus safety and trying to effect some changes based on the lessons we learned and that higher education community itself learned after the tragedy at Virginia Tech.
What can the government do to prevent things like this from happening in the future?

Or even better, whisper these sweet nothings in her ear, send them by text message, or call her at work, once a day – every day, starting on February 14th!
No matter how you choose to celebrate Valentine's Day (if you do at all), there's never a bad time to tell your wife in your own words, how much she means to you. That is a gift that keeps on gifting all year round!

Conventional wisdom has it that the Republicans were the political losers of this latest fiscal crisis. As a late-breaking NBC/Wall Street Journal poll revealed, the public's scorn was directed most pointedly at conservatives. More specifically, many Americans believe that it was the tea party's unyielding demands that drove Washington into paralysis.
But while it is widely held that the government shutdown was pointless and harmful, it would be a mistake to conclude that uncompromising politicians were acting irrationally. The uncomfortable truth for those frustrated with Washington is that the tea party legislators were sent to Washington to shake things up. It's certainly fair to question whether we ought to maintain an electoral system that's been contorted to reward candidates from the far left and far right or a fundraising structure that encourages destructive tactics. But if the business of politics is getting re-elected, we have to acknowledge that many tea party Congressmen were simply doing their jobs.
Now, that's not to suggest that everyone was responding rationally to the prevailing incentives. Indeed, as we look back, what we really need to question is why the nation's economic leaders acted, until the very end, with seemingly little regard for their own self-interest. In the run-up to the crisis, the titans of the business community – a group which knows quite well how to exert influence in the corridors of power – largely watched from the sidelines. Sure, they signed letters suggesting it'd be better for the Washington to get its house in order and met with the president to voice their concerns. But more generally, they averted their eyes in the hopes that some among their peers would take on the extremism threatening the economy. It was, in essence, a corporate version of the tragedy of the commons.

Wolf delisting announcement imminentAug 31, 2012 The Associated Press
The next step in ending federal protections for wolves in Wyoming could be close.
State wildlife officials expect the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to make an announcement about delisting wolves on Friday.
Gov. Matt Mead's spokesman Renny MacKay said it usually takes 30 days for such action to become official. So if federal officials announce the plan Friday, MacKay said it would take effect in time for Wyoming's Oct. 1 wolf hunt.
However, the move could spark legal challenges from environmental groups outraged that the state plans to classify wolves as predators that can be shot on sight in most areas.
An attorney for EarthJustice, Jenny Harbine, said conservation groups may got to court to fight the delisting of wolves.

Rob Brown (born March 1, 1984) is an American actor. He is known for his roles in the films Finding Forrester (2000), Coach Carter (2005), Take the Lead (2006), and The Express (2008), and for starring in the HBO series Treme (2010-13).
Personal life
Brown was born in Harlem and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where he graduated from Poly Prep in 2002. He is also a member of the academic program Prep for Prep, which provides opportunities for minorities in New York City and its surrounding area to attend elite independent schools. In 2008 he starred in the football film The Express where he played Ernie Davis, the first African American Heisman Trophy winner.
Brown shot into the spotlight after starring opposite Sean Connery in the 2000 film Finding Forrester. He had neither professional nor amateur acting experience prior to taking this role. Brown tried out as an extra after finding a flyer hanging on a bulletin board in his school. Despite his lack of previous experience, he was given the lead role of Jamal Wallace.
In 2005, he played the role of Kenyon Stone, a basketball player for the Richmond High School Oilers in Coach Carter, starring Samuel L. Jackson. He was one of the lead roles alongside Ashanti.
Brown played Ernie Davis in the film The Express, based on the life of the former Heisman Trophy winner and Syracuse University alumnus. Production began in March 2007, and the film was released in October 2008.
In 2008, Brown was named the official spokesman of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk. As spokesman, Brown appears in Light The Night publicity materials and public service announcements to help spread the word about the program.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer,
I know you had asked for another doctor to answer this but he is not on the site presently.
Would you like to continue with me?
sure if you can answer it sure oh
great. so it seems you have two problems... glaucoma AND a cataract. has your eye surgeon stated that there is a problem with the surgery because of the glaucoma? of simply that they are not going to do the surgery?
standing by
they said vision not bad enough the glaucoma or pressure issue is because I don't have enough filters around the lens so my eyes due to the shape dont clean very well by themselves and pressure builds up. but surgery scares them but the wont talk about it they just keep saying come back for another pressure reading. which is hard be cause its allways in the middle of the day as nhs may be free but you have little choice on appointment times and as a out patient of many years for this I have to book six weeks in advance and get a random day in a working week, every time i go they check pressure check i have correct glasses and check my prehiperal vison in a dome with light dots flashing, for the first time ever in july the took pictures of my retina, which i did not enjoy as it was sensory overload for hours after on my eyes saw pink dots or bubbles of quite a while, when I mentioned driving they said you can drive with one eye, they really don't seem interested and so I dont go any more i see no point.
better picture
Ah, you have a defect of the iris.
I am conversant with glaucoma and standard cataract surgery, but feel that an eye surgeon would be best to answer this question as yours is a somewhat unique case.
I hope you get a good resolution soon.

For some well-heeled travelers, Pratesi linens and Carrara marble are what defines a luxury stay. But an increasing number of haute hotels now offer something beyond mere refinement: themed suites that promise both shut-eye and eye-popping escapism. "People are searching for that 'wow' factor," says Nancy Novogrod, editor-in-chief of Travel + Leisure. "These are people who have seen a lot, and they want something to surprise and delight them – to experience a break from the everyday."
With that in mind, we combed the globe to find whimsical, way-out rooms that are truly transporting. Check out these 10 high-end fantasy hotel suites.
007 Suite
Location: Hotel Le Seven, Paris, France
Cost: From $550 per night
James Bond fans will be both shaken and stirred by this homage to the sly spy. The den-like, retro retreat features its own Turkish bath, a complete library of Bond films, and, of course, some ultra-cool gadgets, including a TV screen that diffuses four different "mood fragrances" and a lamp with a base made of a (fake) golden gun. Femme fatale not included.
Helicopter Suite
Location: Winvian Resort, Litchfield, CT
Cost: From $950 per night
For high-flying financiers, this may be the ultimate soft landing. This hangar-like cottage has a 17,000-pound, fully restored 1968 Sikorsky helicopter as its centerpiece. Inside the decommissioned Coast Guard copter you'll find a lounge, bar and entertainment center, and the original cockpit, where guests can play "pilot." Surrounding the aircraft are plenty of creature comforts: an oversize tub, fireplace, and a cozy bedroom area. The Winvian Resort, by the way, has Wall Street in its DNA: It was once a farm owned by Merrill Lynch co-founder Winthrop Smith. The property is still family-run.
Hardwood Suite
Location: Las Vegas Palms, Las Vegas, NV
Cost: From $25,000 per night
Big shots can indulge their hoop dreams in this 10,000-square-foot duplex, which features a private basketball court, electronic scoreboard, and its own locker room (which can be stocked with everything from beer to basketball jerseys). The suite also boasts a full bar, a DJ booth and a dance floor – perfect for celebrating those slam dunks. After the revelry, guests can score some Z's in an NBA-approved, extra-long bed.
Poseidon Undersea Suite
Location: Poseidon Undersea Resort, Fiji
Cost: From $30,000 per couple (7-day, 6 night package)
Here's one place you won't mind sleeping with the fishes. This suite, envisioned for the Poseidon Undersea Resort in Fiji (opening date TBA), will allow guests to luxuriate in a lagoon 40 feet under water. A thick acrylic window will envelop 70 percent of the room, promising unparalleled views of the abundant sea life. The resort will also offer a library, a 100-seat restaurant, as well as wine tastings, SCUBA expeditions, and spa treatments – all with the ultimate ocean view.
Tiffany Suite
Location: St. Regis Hotel, New York, NY
Cost: From $9,500 per night
Audrey Hepburn fans will likely "go lightly" into this chic retreat, which pays tribute to Tiffany's. High above Fifth Avenue (and steps from the iconic jeweler), the 1,700-square-foot suite is decked out in robin's-egg blue and shimmering chandeliers, and offers floor-to-ceiling views of New York's Central Park. Inspired accents include an elaborate jewel-shaped mirror and a console that evokes an engagement ring. And whether you're hosting a bridal party or a breakfast (cue the strains of "Moon River"), there's plenty of Tiffany table service to go around.

Greeting card, two cut from A4 card
This is laser cut, but you can do them with a scalpel too.
Cut this from card, paying attention to the cut lines (black) and the fold lines (blue or red). To make folding easier, there are small cut nicks at the ends of each fold. Blue lines are valley fold, red lines are mountain folds.
When folding the cards, it's helpful to use a thin steel rule.
If you're lasering, it's often easier if you cut the lines first, then cut the two cards apart afterwards in a separate cut.

Very friendly and helpful staff.
A nice hotel in a great central location in Liverpool. Easy access to the shops and the waterfront areas. The only negative was that the swimming pool was on the small side with minimal changing facilities.

Novotel Liverpool Centre
Nice room although pull out bed was uncomfortable- great location though, friendly staff and great breakfast.
Stylish Design
Careful thought has gone into the planning of the room.
I liked the shelf near a plug, so my phone can be charged and yet still be in a prominent part of the room. Good lighting and a decent sized fridge. Free wi-fi, which worked perfectly - without the need for lots of code to be put in, was also a good bonus.

Comfortable ,convenient accommodationin the very centre of Liverpool
An excellent base from which to visit the City Centre and the waterfront.
Good location, terrible price, Ok facilities
We stayed here for one night to see friends.
The location was great.... but that was about it. Room was large but massively overlooked (we stayed in 428) so curtains were constantly closed. Pool area was dirty and no clean towels. Card keys for the room stopped working 3 times and had to go back to reception. Massively over priced for what you get.

Enjoyable stay
Nice hotel which provided good value for money.
Good location which is very central. Slightly disappointed that we weren't able to get a drink at the bar when we returned at 12.30 (which was on a Friday night). Surely this should be later for residents?. Otherwise, no complaints.

Having stayed at novotel before (in a different city) we knew what to expect.
We really love the novotel's and were not disappointed by this one. We always go for the executive king rooms. The hotel was in a prime location just a stroll away from the shops at Liverpool 1 and the Albert docks. Considering the location our room was so quiet up on floor 7 & the view was excellent. The room was clean and very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The staff were attentive and friendly. At breakfast there was plenty to choose from, the food was nice & hot and the dining area was really lovely and well laid out.
We stayed for 2 nights for the theatre and shopping and if we are visiting the city again we would definitely choose to stay here.

Football weekend!!! Blues fan!
Excellent location.
Great atmosphere about the hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel completely spotless. Only complaint was the fact it was £4.95 a pint. Hotel bar would make more money if this was addressed. Enjoyed our stay even know Everton got beaten. We will be back for sure. (Hotel and Everton) 😀

L-3 Communications grew into the nation's sixth-largest defense company by selling a dizzying array of products that largely flew under the public's radar. But a machine the company makes in St. Petersburg — one that creates explicit images of traveler's bodies to find weapons under their clothes — is getting a lot of attention, not all of it favorable. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is testing L-3's "millimeter wave'' scanner at 10 major U.S. airports and will expand to 14 more, including Tampa International, by year end. The scanner portal is slightly larger than a telephone booth. Travelers step inside and lift their arms while harmless radio waves from rotating antennas bounce off them. Within seconds, a security agent in a nearby room looks over a dark-but-detailed image of their naked body.
Civil liberties groups call the process "an electronic strip search'' that violates people's privacy rights. TSA officials say no one but the agent sees the 3-D scan. Images are deleted seconds after officers determine passengers aren't carrying anything dangerous.
The agency will buy 80 more body imaging machines next year from L-3, two competitors with different technology or a combination of the three.
It's part of a wider effort by the TSA to upgrade airport checkpoints with hardware better suited to finding explosives a suicide bomber could try to smuggle onto an airliner.
"The threats have changed,'' said L-3 CEO Michael Strianese in a conference call with analysts July 24. "We have gone from metallic to liquid, and the capability of the current technology offers better detection capability than the carry-on scanners and X-ray machines sitting there today.''
In addition to ProVision, the company hopes to sell TSA a "dual-view'' X-ray that lets officers see objects inside carry-on bags from different angles. The agency also is testing a shoe-scanning machine from L-3 that could allow travelers to walk through checkpoints without removing their shoes.
Security and detection devices accounted for less than 3 percent of the company's $14-billion in sales last year. Three-quarters of L-3's business comes from a wide spectrum of U.S. military projects, largely in sophisticated communications and aviation gear.
For years, the company, headquartered in New York, has updated Air Force RC-135 spy planes that intercept voice and signal communications and pinpoint the source.
L-3 also sells simulators for pilots of unmanned Predator drones, self-destruct systems for wayward rockets and hand-held land mine detectors.
Sales of scanners at airports and other public facilities won't rival the military business but should show strong growth with Washington's heightened focus on homeland security, say company executives.
In 1998, L-3 won government certification for its eXaminer scanner, manufactured in a nondescript business park on Bryan Dairy Road in Clearwater. About 900 of the machines, which use computed tomography (CT) to find explosives in checked airline luggage, have been sold worldwide.
L-3 moved in 2003 to a new location with three acres of space at Gateway Business Park on Gandy Boulevard in St. Petersburg, just off Interstate 275. About 230 employees assemble and test eXaminer machines, X-rays for carry-on bags and cargo and millimeter wave body scanners.
The company has sold more than 100 of the body scanners, marketed under the name ProVision. They're in use at federal courthouses in northern Virginia and Colorado, the Green Zone in Baghdad and two Israeli border checkpoints. Computer chip manufacturers scan employees to prevent theft.
But the biggest potential customer now is the TSA,. Objections from groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union aside, the agency says travelers overwhelmingly prefer body scans to pat-down searches by officers.
The TSA has purchased 38 ProVision scanners at $170,000 each. L-3 has two competitors in the body scanner market, Rapiscan Systems of Torrance, Calif., and American Science & Engineering based in Billerica, Mass. They use "backscatter'' devices, selling for $100,000 apiece, that shoot low-power X-rays at travelers.
Both technologies work basically the same way. X-rays or radio waves bounce off a solid object, like metal or plastic explosives, differently than off of skin. On an image generated by the machines, patches of oddly reflected rays or waves reveal what's hidden beneath a traveler's clothes.
The TSA won't talk about pros and cons of the different machines while airport tests continue. Backscatter technology generates higher quality images, says Joshua Jabs, a security technology analyst for Roth Capital Partners LLC.
How much the images reveal has become a major issue, he says, and AS&E and Rapiscan developed better filters that show weapons without revealing intimate physical details. Their images look like the dark outline of a body.
But L-3's machine scans faster. Both backscatter machines require separate front and back scans of travelers. Antennas in the ProVision portal revolve around a subject to create a 3-D image in seconds.
If the TSA wants to check large numbers of people selected randomly — not just passengers who first set off a metal detector or other alarm — L-3's machine would have a big advantage.
"As of now,'' says Jabs, "L-3 stands to benefit more than the others.''

So up to this point I've more or less been going to California Market off Western to do my shopping of most Korean-related goods. Now while I'm not unhappy with my experience there up to this point, I've always been curious about the other options available.

Calling all popular science reviewers, booksellers and librarians – Project Sunshine is now available on NetGalley!
Posted on 2013/01/31 , tagged as
Share this
Project Sunshine: How science can use the sun to fuel and feed the world, by Steve McKevitt & Tony Ryan is now available to download from NetGalley.
It's astonishing that capturing all the energy in just one hour's worth of sunlight would enable us to meet the planet's food and energy needs for an entire year. Project Sunshine tells the story of how scientists are working to reconnect us to the 'solar economy', harnessing the power of the sun to provide sustainable food and energy for a global population of 9 billion people: an achievement that would end our dependence on 'fossilised sunshine' in the form of coal, oil and gas and remake our connection with the soil that grows our food.
You can read this groundbreaking title, published in March, and then tell us what you think of it directly from NetGalley. Browse our catalogue now!

Coral, peach, tangerine, etc.
August 8, 2012
I came across Erin's master bedroom on Pinterest the other day and fell instantly in love. She filled it up with vintage finds and it feels modern and fresh without a hint of kitsch. I fell hard in particular for her persian rug and her coral sheets! I'm usually pretty shy with color but I'm hoping to be a bit more brave in this house. I'm picturing white walls, lots of blue with maybe some coral pick me up? We shall see.
Coral is a definitely a big contender on my list when it comes to accent colors. So much so that I've got more send you into the weekend on Friday! Happy Hump Day!

"To Eat Is A Necessity, But To Eat Intelligently Is An Art."
Do you know eating,cooking is an art …These steps of eating and cooking made our life healthy and happy so Don't forget these steps of eating and cooking ……..because these are the secret of our healthy and fit life…
There is no one right way to cook a particular food. However, certain techniques can help you achieve a desired result such as minimizing nutrient loss or enhancing flavour without adding a lot of fat
- Keep fats to a minimum.
Baking is a great low fat cooking method. Baking on a rack or draining the fat after baking helps make meat, poultry, and fish even lower in fat. Steam cooking is another non-fat method. It also minimizes nutrient loss. For example, steamed vegetables generally retain more vitamin C than boiled vegetables. If you need to use oil, try cooking sprays or apply oil with a pastry brush.
Cook in liquids (such as stock, lemon juice, fruit juice, vinegar or water) instead of oil. When a recipe calls for cream as a thickener, use low fat substitutes like yogurt, soymilk, or corn-starch instead. Use non-stick cookware.
- Retain the nutrients
Blanch vegetables rather than peel them, as many nutrients are found close to the skin. Microwave or steam vegetables instead of boiling them. If you like to boil vegetables, retain the vitamin-rich water to use as a stock and do not over boil. Include more stir-fry recipes in your diet. Stir-fried vegetables are cooked quickly to retain their crunch (and associated nutrients).
- When cooking with grains
Browning uncooked rice before adding water can destroy a lot of the thiamine (Vitamin B1) content. Use whole grains to increase the fiber content.
- Try cutting out salt
Add a splash of olive oil or lemon juice close to the end of cooking time or to cooked vegetables – it can enhance flavours in the same way as salt. Choose fresh or frozen vegetables, since canned and pickled vegetables tend to be packaged with salt. Limit your consumption of salty processed meats such as salami, ham, beef, bacon, and smoked salmon. Avoid salty processed foods such as flavoured instant pasta, canned or dehydrated soup mixes, chips and salted nuts. Margarine, butter and most cheeses are very high in salt so limit your intake or choose lower salt varieties. Use herbs, spices and vinegar or lemon juice to add extra zing to your recipe and reduce the need for salt.
- When preparing fruits and vegetables
Avoid long exposure to heat. Fresh or frozen vegetables can be cooked by several different methods like steaming, baking or sautéing them. To retain nutrients and bright colours, cook "just until tender." Steaming is a good way to cook vegetables.
- When cooking chicken
Remove chicken skin, which is high in fat. However, to retain the moisture in the chicken meat, remove the skin at the end of cooking.
So enjoy your healthy and fit life with the secrets of eating ,COOKING TIPS ,health,cooking,fitness is most importent…..

Angry responses to Universal Studios Hollywood's plan to sell VIP line-cutting passes quickly dotted social media after a New York Times article this weekend brought the plan to a broader audience's attention.
In March, Universal Studios, a subsidiary of NBC Universal, the parent company of NBC News, announced a new VIP package tour, allowing customers to pay $299 to skip lines, get reserved seating on rides, valet parking, and eat catered meals. A regular ticket costs $80 and one with more limited line-skipping privileges costs $149.
Universal's other U.S. theme parks, Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure, sell a VIP tour for $229 guaranteeing "priority entrance" into a minimum of eight rides.
However, It wasn't until the New York Times this weekend published "At Theme Parks, a V.I.P. Ticket to Ride" that Twitter really sat up and noticed.
Within a few hours the story was trending on the New York Times site. In social media, some commentators expressed simple anger.
"This really pisses me off," tweeted @Friedenberg_IST. "Makes me want to punch everything," tweeted @meggomaheggo. "Boycott!" tweeted @tillzen.
The New York Times zeroed in on the likely source of the frustration in the article's first sentences. "Theme parks have traditionally been the ultimate melting pots," wrote the Times.
"Tourists, retirees, rowdy teenagers, families and fathers who would rather be golfing are all thrown together in an egalitarian experience in which the line for one is the line for all, and cotton candy is the food of the masses. Not anymore."
Some on Twitter cited it as an example of the growing stratification of American society.
"Universal Studios theme park engages in class warfare with VIP tickets," ran Gawker blog Jezebel's headline. "We are, more and more, a class-based society," tweeted @JohnMedaille. "No desire to mingle with the masses? No problem, for a price," tweeted columnist @ConnieSchultz. "lol the Universal VIP tix comes with hand sanitizer in case you brush against one of those disgusting poors while skipping them in line," tweeted @JoseEgan.
However, in light of a recent Disneyland line-cutting story that garnered controversy, it's at least "Better than ppl hiring handicapped "guides" to cut the lines," tweeted @SCJoson.
A few of those in the industry praised Universal Studio's move.
It's "market segmentation," noted @AnalyticGlobal, whose profile bills itself as "the leader in marketing analytics consulting and software services." The practice is "customer driven price discrimination done right," tweeted @rags, a pricing strategist.
Others noted that the practice of charging people extra to get in first and get a better experience is hardly revolutionary.
"Who are those people that sit in the front of the airplane passenger section and boarded through a special line? Not new," tweeted @daswenson.
Meanwhile, customers who had opted for the pass seemed pleased with their experience. "Nothing like having VIP access and riding up elevators to every ride at Universal #ScrewLines," tweeted @ConnorCullian in late March. "I have done the VIP Tour 4 Times and I love it more each time," tweeted @DGDXAnimation. "Bout to get this VIP trip in universal #wedontwaitinlines !" tweeted @Robert15Jgod.
Universal Studios did not respond to a request for comment.

Scott's Hill came across as a restaurant that didn't care about food
Sometimes you try and try and nothing goes quite right. We all have days like that. Chorlton in Manchester has a restaurant like that. Scott's Hill opened earlier this year on the site that was formerly Ostara, a British restaurant, and then Charango, a tapas bar.
Under new ownership, with chef Joanne Gendel, who's worked her way through some of Manchester's better kitchens, things should be hopeful.
They've got the right idea. On the bar side there's a neat, clever beer list and a pie of the week; at the back, there's a quiet restaurant space, where ingredients procured from Chorlton's well-regarded suppliers are worked into a modest international menu.
Ignoring the guff about small and medium plates, which seem to have the same function as starters, we get going with black pudding croquettes – too much potato but with a welcome pinprick of spice – and a rather wintry, comforting wild mushroom gratin bolstered with breadcrumbs and chestnuts.
They make everything, apart from the bread, in-house, but some dishes don't feel like it; a lamb shank is shrouded in a gloopy sauce and a standard crème brûlée comes in one of those little pots that supermarkets sell puddings in. The promised home-made biscotti don't appear alongside, and a chocolate ganache tart with a tooth-bothering hazelnut base comes with cream rather than the advertised vanilla cream cheese. By this stage we're past caring and we can only assume that, despite its good intentions, the kitchen is too.
A meal for two with wine costs around £60. 456-458 Barlow Moor Road, Chorlton. www.scottshill.co.uk

Estimating and testing intertemporal preferences: A unified framework for consumption, work and savings
Five waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), 1985-1989 including both wealth supplements, are used to construct an intertemporal budget constraint for selected single headed households. A new functional form of the dual consumer profit function rationalizing consumption, labor supply and savings is specified, estimated and used to test commonly maintained separability hypotheses. Both consumption- labor and time separability are rejected. Cross-price Frisch elasticities are found not to equal zero and this in turns affects all estimates of consumption, labor supply and saving elasticities. This paper contains new results from a previous paper submitted to EconWPA 12/16/03.

Vandals go after vehicle glass in Pear Park area
Late-night thugs target neighborhood
Sporadic incidents of broken car, truck and house windows, and other destruction of private property, have some residents of a Pear Park neighborhood frustrated.
The latest incident was early Thursday morning. Vandals struck at least one home and several vehicles parked at 3178 D 1/2 Road, 614 32 Road and 424 Bing Lane. Damages from the overnight attack are estimated by the Mesa County Sheriff's Department to be between $2,000 to $5,000.
"Nobody heard anything. We woke up to broken glass," Vickie Samaniego said.
She said her family's truck had a window smashed out and a door kicked in, then described some of the vandalism other residents awoke to Thursday.
"There is a house that is down the street, and I guess they busted up the front door and a window and busted up a bunch of things in the front yard. Then they came down and busted up the windows on a four-wheel-drive vehicle," Samaniego said. "We don't understand why someone would do this. I was very ticked off."
Samaniego said the late-night mischief has been occurring for months. Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Heather Benjamin could not confirm the neighborhood had been targeted before.
The Sheriff's Department is investigating, but these types of crimes are typically tough to prosecute, Benjamin said.
"The victims unfortunately were unable to provide any witness statements," she said. "Unless we catch them in the act, and/or there are excellent witness statements, it is very difficult."
Benjamin said residents can take actions to try to stave off further vandalism. Park vehicles in a garage, keep outside lights on, never leave valuables in plain sight within a car and lock vehicle doors. She also suggested residents request extra patrols from the Sheriff's Department in their neighborhood and advised residents to report suspicious activity or keep a journal of odd events to share with police.
"If someone is hell-bent on committing a crime, they will do it. But if you can decrease the opportunity, you can help prevent yourself from being a victim of a crime," Benjamin said.


text: A friend of mine recently developed some rolls of Tri-X, they all came out clear, no edge numbers or anything. My guess was he fixed before developing. He believes it was because he mixed the pre-packaged developer at 68 degrees(developing temp) instead of heating the water to 120 then mixing. I have a hard time believing this would be the problem as I thought that heating the water was primarily for ease of disolving the developer. Even if it did cause a problem I would have thought at least some developing would occur. I think the developer was Kodak maybe d-76 or dektol.
