This blog post is about Marmite. I apologise if it makes you hungry, nauseous, or confused.
My partner enjoys Marmite. This isn't a surprise: I've known it for years. Some weekend mornings I've seen her enthusiastically scoff down some Marmite on toast, and I've known times that she's been feeling run-down and hungry and the prospect of a bit of Marmite is exactly what she needs to get her motor running again. She doesn't eat it all the time, but she likes to keep a jar around in anticipation: Marmite lasts pretty much forever, so there's no hurry.
It's only since living with her, though, that I've seen so much of the strange sticky substance as I have. That's not her doing, I'll stress: she's always respectful of the fact that I seem to just be one of those people who's just never going to be a Marmite-eater, and she doesn't surprise me with Marmite-infused foodstuffs. In exchange, I try not to complain whenever I can smell that the jar is open.
Her husband enjoys Marmite too. Sometimes she makes Marmite whirls, pastry spirals with a sharp taste of Marmite, and I think she does so mostly because she knows that he enjoys them so much. I honestly don't know how often he eats the stuff other than when she serves it: occasionally, I guess.
I've only recently kept Marmite in my cupboard: it's a new addition to my food supply. Are my partner and husband responsible for this? No… well, only insofar as that they once reminded me that they keep Marmite in the house: "We keep our Marmite in this cupboard," they said, and that was that. (sometimes they disagree on which shelf the Marmite belongs on, but more often than not they're in agreement)
But now there's Marmite in my cupboard. I'm not sure why I keep it there. I still don't really like Marmite, although I think that with experience I've learned to appreciate what others see in its flavour, even if it doesn't sit comfortably in me.
I look at the jar of Marmite in my cupboard. "Why are you there?" I ask it, "What am I supposed to do with you?" It doesn't answer. It is, of course, only Marmite. I realise that I'm standing alone in the kitchen, talking to my shelf, and I feel a little stupid. But it's a puzzle that I can't solve: how did the Marmite even get into my cupboard? I certainly didn't buy it. Did it… put itself there?
Time for some buttered toast.
This blog post is not about Marmite. My apology still stands.

Right. Marmite on toast it is then…
> I honestly don't know how often he eats the stuff other than when she serves it: occasionally, I guess.
Uh, yeah, I suppose. I do quite like the fanciness of actual Marmite whirls, especially for special occasions, like birthday parties and whatnot (although a Marmite and brie sandwich is almost always too fancy for my tastes).
Mainly I appreciate knowing I could eat Marmite if I really needed to, even if I don't make time to actually dig the bread out*. I don't make a habit of having it habitually, and occasionally I think perhaps I prefer Gentleman's Relish but it's good to know where to find it nonetheless.
's clever, that is.
*Although I get proper fed up when people try and tell me it's bad for me, and I shouldn't have any. Because fuck those guys trying to tell me what to eat.
Okay. I think I get this post, and JTA's comment appears to confirm my suspicions. If you're saying what I think you're saying then it's quite a surprise.

WASHINGTON — The House last week voted to pass the reconciled financial reform bill, which includes a provision to regulate debit-card interchange fees, but a Senate vote was delayed until mid-July.

David Clendon decided to follow behind Kelvin Davis for an arse-kicking from Judith Collins.
It didn't go well for him, although Crusher was rather nice about booting him in the balls.

I am a stage IV Endometriosis patient. I am 33 years old, otherwise healthy person. I am undergoing a second Laperoscopy (sp?) surgery this summer due to my intolerance with Lupron and Femara. I have had a horrible ordeal which has included all sorts of fertility treatments. I have one child, which resulted in an emergency C-section, which began this hell. I want a tummy tuck to help w/ the sadness of now being barren. Is there anyway to get a free one? Even if it was through a teaching college?
Free Tummy Tuck for Endometriosis Patient?
Doctor Answers 4
There is no such thing as a free TT
Nothing in life is really free. The best result will come from an abdominoplasty done by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. It is possible to have one done by a plastic surgery resident in training under the guidance of an experienced plastic surgeon, but it will not be free. If you live in an area where there is a plastic surgery training program call them and ask for the costs.

Free tummy tuck
I sympathise with your sadness. Free tummy tucks must be rare indeed, and it is unlikely you can find one. I'm glad that you have been able to at least have one child.
Unfortunately nothing in life evers seems to be free. I am unaware of any mechanism at private or university hospitals to get free cosmetic surgery.

Tummy Tuck
A free tummy tuck is not common. Each practice usually gets many requests for this. Many offer discounts for unique situations so this will probably be the reality. Plastic surgery is not doing the business they were even 3-4 years ago so many are just getting by. The profit margin has drastically shrunk so a teaching facility would be a good place to start.

Click on the video link to watch the full story.
What started as a peaceful day in the woods turned into a chaotic scene of fire trucks, ambulances and deputy cruisers. Around 9 AM on Saturday three adults and two 14-year-old boys were deer hunting off of Ransbottom Road in Ironspot near Roseville.
"What it looks like is one of the juveniles was shot in the abdomen by the other juvenile," said Wildlife Officer Supervisor Bryan Postlethwait. "I know the EMTs were up in there and brought him out, and I know he was life flighted to Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus."
Postlethwait said the victim was in stable condition when he arrived at the hospital. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is leading the investigation with assistance from the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office.
"The process is locating the scene, photographing the scene, videotaping the scene, taking measurements, drawing the scene up on paper, compiling all of the interviews and putting that in a report," said Postlethwait.
He said ODNR will work with the Muskingum County Prosecutor's Office if charges are filed. The accident brings attention to the fact that there's no minimum hunting age in Ohio.
"There's not an age requirement, but everybody that hunts has to pass a hunter education course," said Postlethwait.
Owner of T&K Guns & Archery Kathy Robison said hunters must score an 80% or higher on the 100-question exam.
"It goes over all of the safety requirements," said Robison. "They teach them how to carry the gun, how to make sure of your target, and they go over and over it to really get them to understand it."
Kids must be accompanied by a licensed adult until age 16, but that adult does not have to be a parent, and children who aren't old enough to read are still permitted to take the test.
"If they're too young to be able to read it, someone can read it to them, but they still have to answer the questions themselves," said Robison.
Postlethwait said hunting accidents have declined over the years, and usually the victims are adults – not children.
"Hunting is actually one of the safest sports you can be involved in, but normally when someone does get hurt, unfortunately it involves a gun, so it's obviously very serious," said Postlethwait.
Ultimately, Robison said it's the parents' responsibility to teach their kids safe hunting habits.
"The parents definitely play a big role in it," said Robison. "They're the ones who are actually in the field with them, and they're going to learn a lot from their parents by watching how they do things, so it's important for the adults to know the safety rules also."

The Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga was accused yesterday of press-ganging children and using them to kill and rape, as the international criminal court's first trial opened at The Hague. Lubanga, leader of the Union of Congolese Patriots (UPC) militia, pleaded not guilty to charges of recruiting hundreds of children under the age of 15 to fight in his country's bloody civil war.
The trial is the first since the ICC was founded in 2002 as the world's first permanent court to prosecute war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. It has been hailed by human rights groups and the International Bar Association as a landmark in developing international law, although the court has run into problems over delays in Lubanga's trial and controversial indictments, including that of Sudan's leaders over killings in Darfur.
The ICC's chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, opened his case by accusing Lubanga's militia of having "recruited, trained and used hundreds of young children to kill, pillage and rape.
"The children still suffer the consequences of Lubanga's crimes. They cannot forget what they suffered, what they saw, what they did. They were nine, 11, 13 years old," he said.
"They cannot forget the beatings they suffered. They cannot forget the terror they felt and the terror they inflicted. They cannot forget the sounds of the machine guns, they cannot forget that they killed. They cannot forget that they raped and were raped. Some of them are now using drugs to survive, some have become prostitutes."
Moreno-Ocampo said he would call former child soldiers as witnesses who would testify that they were snatched from their families and forced to fight. "You will hear from a boy who was just 11 when Lubanga's militia abducted him as he was walking home from school with his friends," he said. "You will hear how a child soldier younger than 10 was shot by one of Lubanga's men because he lost his weapon."
Besides witnesses, the court will allow evidence by 93 victims who have asked to be party to the case.
Aid agencies estimate that 30,000 children were recruited by armed groups during conflicts that consumed the Democratic Republic of Congo after 1996.
Human rights groups have criticised the ICC for only charging Lubanga, 48, with crimes related to child soldiers when his militia was also responsible for the mass killings and torture of civilians, mostly members of the Lendu ethnic group in the Ituri area of north-eastern Congo.
Ituri was the centre of battles involving Congolese militias and invading Rwandan and Ugandan forces for control of mines in the area as well as ethnic violence between the Hema and Lendu. But it was only a small part of the broader conflict, involving invasions and civil war, which has claimed millions of lives.
Lubanga fled in 2003 after an international force was deployed in the area to halt the bloodshed. A year later he appeared in the Congolese capital, Kinshasa, after the government promised to promote him to general in the army if the UPC laid down its arms.
But after nine UN peacekeepers were killed in renewed fighting in Ituri in 2005, he was arrested by the Congolese authority and a year later transferred to The Hague. The trial is expected to last up to nine months.

MANSFIELD, Mass., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- NDO Surgical, Inc. today announced that it has closed a $15 million private equity financing. Versant Ventures led the round, which included investments from Polaris Ventures, and previous investor, Menlo Ventures. The company plans to use the proceeds to support the expanded commercialization of the Full-Thickness Plicator(TM) System for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, also known as GERD.
"The Plicator System is a breakthrough, non-surgical treatment alternative for the millions of GERD sufferers worldwide. We look forward to actively working with NDO Surgical to continue to expand the number of patients whose lives can be vastly improved by this extraordinary technology." said Kevin Wasserstein, of Versant Ventures.
As part of this round, Dr. Ross Jaffe and Kevin Wasserstein of Versant Ventures, and Terry McGuire of Polaris Ventures will join the NDO Surgical Board of Directors.
"I am very excited about the quality of the investors in this financing, and the entire NDO Surgical team looks forward to working with them in delivering the best products and services to our physician customers and their patients", commented Jim Miraldi, president and chief executive officer of NDO Surgical.
More than 15 million Americans suffer from GERD, typically experiencing chronic daily heartburn symptoms, which can sometimes be debilitating. Current treatment options for GERD range from prescription medications to surgery. While medications can often relieve heartburn, they are sometimes inadequate, often require a life-long regimen, and do not treat the underlying mechanical defect that is present in patients with GERD.
NDO Surgical's Full-Thickness Plicator is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared, endoscopic treatment for GERD. The Plicator procedure, based upon the proven principles of anti-reflux surgery, is designed to restore the normal anti-reflux barrier through a simple, outpatient procedure. One-year clinical outcomes data recently presented at the Annual Digestive Disease Week conference demonstrated that 70 percent of patients treated with the Plicator remained completely off of their prescription PPI medications.
NDO Surgical, located in Mansfield, MA, is a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of innovative endoscopic technologies for the treatment of gastrointestinal disease. For more information, please visit NDO Surgical's web site at http://www.ndosurgical.com/.

Blackout: 15. Uncertain (2012/04/25)
2012/04/25: In case you missed it
Sorry about that - I forgot to upload the comic before posting it, and forgot to check to make sure it got posted correctly before going to bed last night. Fortunately, today's comic wasn't terribly important to the story anyway.
(Also, sorry if you got a bunch of duplicate entries in your feed reader; I made some changes to the feed so that I could "bump" an individual entry if necessary, and that required bumping everything. Of course, not every feed reader will even support that, so if you didn't get a bunch of duplicate entries, oh well.)

Join David Blatner for an in-depth discussion in this video 7. Reusing, recycling, and reordering, part of InDesign: 10 Things to Know About GREP.
I was once working on a book project that had a lot of historical dates in it…like 1492. So I send the manuscript in and when it comes back from the editor…all of those dates had commas in them. Like suddenly it became 1,492. …I was flabbergasted. What I'm supposed to do with that? I actually had to go through…and fix every single one of those dates removing just the comma, and that would…have been a nightmare without GREP.…Now this is not the document I was working on. But it has the same problem.…
All of the years have commas in them, and I'm going to show you how I can use GREP…to remove just those commas.…To do this I'm going to open the Find/ Change dialog box with a Command+F or…Ctrl+F on Windows, and I'm going to type in the GREP tab. The code I'm looking…for is a year and years are going to be based on numbers. So I need an any digit. …That's \d, any digit code.…In this case I know the first digit is followed by a comma, so I'll type a comma, …and then I could just do three more of these digits. There is the number…

text: Politics 6 August 2010 What if . . . the Confederacy had survived Sign up for our weekly email * With his visit to the United States overshadowed by his slip about Anglo-American relations in 1940, David Cameron will doubtless be hoping that his second visit to the New World, which begins next week, will be rather more successful. At least his trip to Washington meant a break from the incessant interrogation about the BP pollution scandal; by contrast, he is likely to face some tough questions when he arrives in the Confederacy's capital, Richmond. Downing Street insiders, however, remain confident, pointing out the close links between the Conservatives and the CSA's ruling Democratic Party. "Since 1861," a Tory minister with a taste for history tells me, "only one special relationship has really counted, and it's this one." Mail trouble What she is referring to is the famous Trent affair - a central moment in the history of the Confederacy, perhaps even a turning point in world history. In November 1861, months after the outbreak of the short-lived American civil war, two Confederate diplomats made their way to Havana and took passage on the British Royal Mail steamer Trent, which was heading back home. But only a day later, the ship was seized by the Union navy and the two men were hauled off into captivity. By any standards, this was a breach of Britain's neutrality and the press, unsurprisingly, was outraged. It was time, said the London Chronicle, to quash "that spirit of senseless egotism which induces the Americans, with their dwarf fleet and shapeless mass of incoherent squads which they call an army, to fancy themselves the equal of France by land and Great Britain by sea." Britain had already begun building up reinforcements along the Canadian border, worried that the conflict might spill north. All forces in North America were placed on a war footing. Even at this late stage, adept diplomacy might have averted disaster. Sadly, the Union's relatively obscure and untested president, Abraham Lincoln, has gone down in history as a terrible judge of men and motives. Convinced that Britain would not intervene, he refused to release the two prisoners and instead sent a highly offensive note to London. That was too much for the ultra-patriotic Whig prime minister, Viscount Palmerston. Britain, he told Queen Victoria, proposed to "inflict a severe blow upon and to read a lesson to the United States which will not soon be forgotten". The war was over in six months. With so many troops tied up on its southern border, the Union struggled to hold back the 60,000 British forces pouring across the Canadian border, while the Royal Navy's blockade of the east coast meant that starving mobs were soon demonstrating in Boston and New York. By the spring of 1862, Union morale was cracking. When Lincoln collapsed under the strain, the vice-president, Hannibal Hamlin, conceded the inevitable and sued for peace. In July 1862, British, Union and Confederate negotiators met near the front line in the obscure Pennsylvanian town of Gettysburg and hammered out a deal. The Confederacy became an independent nation. Its victory, as the new president, Jefferson Davis, told his people, marked "a new birth of freedom". White wash These days, revisionist historians often argue that the war was really about slavery, pointing out that the plantation system lasted until the 1950s and that the last Confederate slave did not die until 1992. That runs counter, however, to everything that textbooks used to tell us about Britain's role in winning liberty for the Confederates. Indeed, slavery is not mentioned at all on the Whitehall memorial to the fallen, just as the word never appears in any of the memorials in the booming city of Richmond. The last prime minister, Gordon Brown, made a point of visiting a former plantation during his final visit to the CSA, even shaking hands with anti-segregation activists, but Downing Street insists that this time there will be no repeat. "The Confederacy has its problems and we don't want to exacerbate them," a spokesman says smoothly. When the microphones are off, the message is even clearer. The Confederacy, he points out, is one of Britain's closest allies: "Its men are fighting alongside ours in Central America, for goodness sake." Although the credit-fuelled boom has stalled, the Confederate Tiger economic miracle means the links between Richmond and London have never been closer or more important. "Sure, they have a few racial issues," the Downing Street man says. "But who doesn't?" Dominic Sandbrook is a historian and author.

ABC News' Jan Simmonds Reports: The Chicago Sun Times is reporting that Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the former pastor of Sen. Barack Obama, fired back at the news media during a Chicago funeral service on Saturday. Wright didn't mention the Democratic presidential hopeful by name but did call out some of his critics, including Fox News commentators Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, at times drawing standing ovations from the 2,500 mourners in attendance.
He said: "Fox News can't understand that. O'Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity's stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe." Wright also referred to Fox News as "Fix News."
Saturday's funeral at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago was closed to reporters but Sun-Times had a reporter inside the church. The newspaper's Web site Sunday carried a recording of Wright's remarks at a eulogy.
You can listen to the eulogy by clicking HERE:
Wright also made his first public appearance in Norfolk, Virginia today since the furor over his remarks criticizing the United States. He once again made no mention of Obama.
Wright emerged as major problem for Obama after some of his sermons in which he made incendiary comments popped up on the Internet.

Where do people purchase safe feather decorations for cakes? Something like the feathers in these pictures.
I don't think there's such a thing as safe feathers. It would be like any other non-food cake decoration, if you need to insert it in a cake, use a straw or hollow coffee stir to cover the end and keep it from touching the cake.
I guess I should specify imitation feathers. I don't want to use real ones on a cake.
I guess I should specify imitation feathers. I don't want to use real ones on a cake.
Real feathers on cakes have a high 'EEew!' factor for me too. (I wouldn't decorate a cake with a tuft of my hair, and a feather for me is in a similar category!) I don't know that I've ever seen imitation feathers though...all of the ones you see for sale in craft stores etc are real feathers that have been dyed various colours. Could you make some gumpaste feathers perhaps? - I know it's hard to get them looking really light and feathery in gumpaste though. Perhaps edible paper feathers made out of rice paper or something? Just a thought.

Solange Talks Dating Losers, Following in Beyonce's Footsteps in Harper's Bazaar
Solange comes into her own in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar. The 27-year-old singer strikes a pose for a colorful fashion spread and opens about her music career and personal life, including laughing off all the loser guys she's dated.
"Luckily, I dated all of the losers ages ago. My love life has been stable for a while," Solange says in the interview. "It's a f—ed-up thing — without conflict it's a lot harder to write interesting songs."
The magazine points to Solange's longtime relationship with video director Alan Ferguson. Of her divorce from high school sweetheart Daniel Smith in 2006, she says, "Just going through a marriage and a divorce — which I essentially did by 21 — will give you an insane amount of perspective on life."
As the younger sister of Beyonce, comparisons to the superstar have always plagued Solange's career. The Houston native says that her own parents tried to dissuade her from pursuing music after going through the process with Bey. "My parents constantly tried to talk me out of being an artist. They had gone through the whole journey with my sister and just wanted me to have a normal teenage life."
Last year she released the compilation album 'Saint Heron,' through her own label, Saint records.

A FORMER model is in hospital after being shot by her boyfriend, who also murdered a cop.
According to the New York Daily News Traci Lee Vaillancourt was riding shotgun when her boyfriend, Troy Walker, killed a Utah cop.
After shooting Salt Lake City Sergeant Derek Johnson, Walker shot himself and Vaillancourt.
The former up-and-coming model's sister Vicki King told the Salt Lake Tribune that Vaillancourt was a high school stunner before losing her looks to a rare blood disorder.
Vaillancourt, 34, is in a 'fair condition' in hospital outside Salt Lake City.
Walker, 35, is also in hospital but in a critical condition.
King said her sister, who she last saw the day before the shooting, was once "drop-dead gorgeous" but became homeless and developed a drug addiction while battling her blood disorder.
Vaillancourt had multiple strokes and her body would swell randomly.
"She would cry, 'I never pictured my life turning out like this,'" King told the Salt Lake Tribune.
The day before the shooting Walker and Vaillancourt had visited King and Walker showed-off his weapons.
"He said, 'Check this out!' and got out a gun," King told the Tribune.
King said Walker also carried daggers in his socks and a machete in a side pocket of his backpack.
The couple had apparently spent years living in hotels.
King said the couple had asked for money during the visit so she gave them $4.50 and they left.
Later she saw their silver Volvo on the news during a report about Johnson's death.
Police say Sgt Johnson had come across the couple's Volvo parked askew in Draper, a suburb of Salt Lake City, and was fatally shot before getting out of his patrol car.
The New York Daily News reports that Vaillancourt's condition is improving and that she's assisting police with their inquiries.

A man who filmed himself as he twice raped a woman at knifepoint has been jailed for a total of six years.
Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court was told detectives discovered 16 terrifying video clips after they found the iPad in Hesam Khosravi's car.
But unemployed Khosravi, 24, repeatedly denied his crime and only admitted the charges on the day before he was due to stand trial. He claimed they had been engaged in 'role-play'.
In the shocking videos, which were shown in court, naked Khosravi was laughing as he raped the distressed and sobbing woman and then repeatedly wave a kitchen knife at her as she covered her face and hid her body behind a pillow.
He was also seen hitting her in the face and repeatedly kicking her before throwing a tea cup, which smashed on the wall next to her head.
Khosravi commented throughout the video and then spoke directly to the camera for ten minutes towards the end.
Judge Adrian Smith, sentencing, told those in court the footage was 'very distressing' and said: "This is the time to leave if anyone does not want to watch the video."
Khosravi, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to two counts of rape at an earlier hearing. He was ordered to sign the sex offenders' register for life. The judge ordered that the iPad be destroyed.
The court was told the woman went to the police following the attack, which took place in Trafford in April last year.
Jonathan Dickinson, prosecuting, said Iranian-born Khosravi had put his hands around the woman's throat before ordering her to get undressed as she pleaded with him to let her go.
He said: "What happened next was filmed by the defendant on his iPad. He was pressing buttons and told her it was recording."
Mr Dickinson said Khosravi had later claimed he and the woman had been taking part in 'sexual game'.
Robert Lancaster, defending, said Khosravi was high on the drug crystal meth and had a £150-a-week habit when the attack took place.
He said he had no previous convictions for sexual offences and the He said: "He accepts responsibility for the offences and expresses remorse for his actions."
Khosravi was jailed for six years for each of the two offences, to run concurrently.
Judge Smith, sentencing, told Khosravi the attack and the video was 'degrading and humiliating' for the victim.
Det Con Pat Finnigan, from GMP's Serious Sexual Offences Unit, said after the case it was one of most distressing cases he has had to deal with during his career.
He said: "The victim was put through a terrifying and degrading ordeal, the effects of which will stay with her for the rest of her life.
"Over a relatively prolonged period Khosravi physically and sexually attacked his victim, leaving her in fear for her life."

Ask Experts & Get Answers to Your Questions - ASAP
Hello Cher
Many thanks for your answer. I have alot going on with my life, I've been bully, harrassed and victimised at my last job, after 4 months of leaving I worked the courage up to right a letter to the previous employer (the Alliance partner of this construction job), to notify the Alliance partner what my employer had done to me over the last 12 months, my previous employer has been getting dirty, ringing people to write nasty letters, ringing my previous employers to get dirt on me, this has been eating me away, I've stood up to be heard and to protect others on site. I believe that surgery is probably the last thing I would worry about, I've had this procedure done 6 times over the years, I'm actually get excited about getting some sleep, having a day off work etc. If you believe that this is playing on my subconscious I'm happy with that.
Hi Cher
Just want to let you know that my surgery went well, unfortunately there is nothing they can do for me, I have a rare condition that no one can fix, just put up with pain for the rest of my life. It's all good, just need to keep my mind focused on not feeling the pain.
Good news, the union is now involved in my case with my previous employer. So hope all good comes out of this.
Thanks for being concerned, you are so lovely, and I appreciate it.
Enjoy your evening.

OCEANSIDE — As prosecutors prepare to arraign an Oceanside man on Wednesday in the dismemberment death of his wife at their home, court records show city officials recently sued the couple.
Frederick Hengl, 68, was arrested Friday on suspicion of murder, and he remained jailed Monday without bail.
Police said they found the body of Hengl's 73-year-old wife after neighbors called to complain about a foul odor coming from the house the couple owned on North Ditmar Street, less than a block from Oceanside City Hall.
Authorities have not released the woman's name, although Oceanside police said Hengl told them the body was that of his wife. Property records show Hengl owned the Ditmar home with Anna-Maria Hengl.
According to court records, Oceanside city officials sued Anna-Maria Hengl in small claims court in July, asking the court to order her to pay $2,000 for unpaid administrative citations issued in 2011. The documents do not specify what the violations were that led to the citations.
In a case of unusual timing, the small claims case against her was dismissed Friday at a hearing set about an hour before police found the wife's dismembered body.
Court records also show the city took Frederick Hengl to small claims court in February over a violation of an unspecified Oceanside municipal code.
Hengl failed to appear in court. The judge issued a default judgment in favor of Oceanside and ordered Hengl to pay the city $480.
Court records also show he was sued twice for divorce in San Diego County, once in 1976 and again in 1986. Neither case file was available on Monday.
The latter case involved a divorce initiated by Anna-Maria Hengl, but it was unclear if it was completed.
Frederick and Anna-Maria Hengl were also party to a 1979 lawsuit when they lived in Carlsbad and sued two neighbors — one for building a fence and the other for building a deck. The Hengls accused the neighbors of building the structures maliciously in order to obstruct the view from the couple's home.
The Hengls never took the case beyond filing the lawsuit. It was dismissed in 1989 at the request of one of the two neighbors.
Property records indicate the pair moved in 2002 to the two-bedroom bungalow-style house on Ditmar in Oceanside.
Neighbors on Ditmar said they were very familiar with the pair.
Frederick Hengl occasionally wore women's clothing and makeup, including hot-pink lipstick. Neighbors said they often spotted him in women's clothing while he shopped. Others said they usually saw him in 1970s-style men's clothing.
Neighbors described Anna-Maria Hengl as a deeply troubled woman who sometimes walked the neighborhood with her pants around her ankles. Those who were familiar with her said she always wore the same clothing: a blue sweater and denim-like pants.
She often preached at or scolded passers-by, and on occasion she carried a butcher knife.

Medical degrees through Armenian University
By Express News Service | Published: 27th June 2012 08:39 AM |
Last Updated: 27th June 2012 08:39 AM | A+A A- |
The 92-year old Yerevan State Medical University (YSMU) of Armenia offers Graduation and Post Graduation courses in various disciplines of medicine for students meeting acceptable norms of eligibility. More than 2,000 Indian students are studying currently in YSMU, while several thousands of them have graduated successfully from YSMU in the past few years.
YSMU offers affordable medical education for aspiring young students between the age group 18 – 28. The Under Graduate degrees include MD (Doctor of Medicine), BDS, B PHARM and the degrees covered under Post Graduation are MD / M S, MDS, M PHARM & MPH. YSMU is also part of the Bologna Process which was signed by Education Ministers from 29 European Countries allowing students to transfer semesters between European universities. YSMU Courses are recognised internationally and also by Medical Council of India, Medical Council of Great Britain and affiliations with many medical universities in USA as well. YSMU isa member of European Medical Congress and is listed in the World Health Organization (WHO) Directory of Higher Medical Institutions, a recognition richly deserved.
Addressing a press conference, Jalandhar, CEO, Edulife Abroad, stated that "Education in Armenia is funded by the government and this makes it possible for the various educational institutions to invest in state-of-the-art infrastructure, incorporating latest technologies. The low population of Armenia coupled with vast infrastructure allows good number of overseas students to study at YSMU. High quality faculty and a healthy regard for Indians in particular add to the reasons for studying at YSMU. Students with even average scores are also eligible to apply, unlike many other institutions across the globe. Yet the alumni of YSMU have done consistently well in all countries including UK, USA, Germany, Canada etc."
The University has more than 15 specialised clinical hospitals where students are well trained in practical terms. They have eight scientific laboratories where about 300 scientists carry out research in various medical disciplines.
The medical library is one of the richest libraries of the republic. The Cost per annum for pursuing a UG and PG course is approx Rs 2 lakh and 3 lakh respectively. The duration is 6 years for UG and 1.5 – 4 years for a PG course.

FIONA Hamilton has scrapped her ambitious attempt to grow the Beanscene and Fifi and Ally cafe businesses into big forces in the UK's crowded cafe trade.
After suffering a series of reverses.she has sold the Beanscene coffee bar chain and the upmarket Fifi and Ally business based in Glasgow's Princes Square to leisure trade veteran Stuart Mckenzie.
Ms Hamilton said the value of the deal was confidential and that Newton Mearns-based Mr Mckenzie was one of a number of bidders.
Loading article content
The 50-year-old property expert said she felt some sadness to leave the businesses but the decision to sell reflected her belief it was time to pass them on to someone who could take them to the next stage.
She added: "It's the right time for me to make that decision in my life."
The sale is a low-key departure from operations Ms Hamilton moved into amid some fanfare.
A successful surveyor, Ms Hamilton launched the Fifi and Ally venture with her cousin Alison Fielding in 2005 to try to tempt consumers with a mix of designer fashions and homewares sold alongside a smart cafe.
She expected the first outlet in Glasgow would provide a model for other UK stores but did not open outside the city.
The business has one cafe outlet and stopped selling fashion items some years ago.
Beanscene has 10 outlets in Scotland.
Months after she bought the then 12-strong chain out of administration in 2008, Ms Hamilton talked about doubling the number of stores.
Asked if people might feel that she had failed she said: "Maybe some people will say that but I don't think so. When I took the company on I was not expecting the economic situation we were going into."
The acquisition of Beanscene came as the global economy plunged into a deep downturn that lasted much longer than anyone expected. This put consumer spending under pressure for years.
Beanscene faces competition from well-funded giants like Starbucks and Costa.
Ms Hamilton said the problems in the banking sector also created challenges. She said: "To get funding for the vision I had it's a very, very difficult market."
She added: "I did not have bottomless pockets, I did as much as I could."
But Ms Hamilton said the businesses achieved much amid challenging conditions. "What I am proud about is we have not lost any staff. The company is still here. That's more than a lot can say."
She noted Mr Mckenzie had plans to grow the business.
As head of transport, airport and global infrastructure at the Jones Lang LaSalle surveying business, Ms Hamilton's job involves lots of overseas travel.
In 2011 Ms Hamilton said she had lost £1million following the closure of a second Fifi and Ally outlet on the city's Wellington Street.
The venue closed following objections from a neighbouring tenant about noise in the evenings.
Ms Fielding left Fifi and Ally in 2009.
The last accounts filed by Beanscene Scotland show it had accumulated £171,000 losses at 31 December 2012.
In them Beanscene Scotland says: "The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis due to the company having the continued support of its director."
The accounts say the company issued £150,000 shares in the year and further capital was introduced into the business post year end.
In 2011 Ms Hamilton said the results of Fifi and Ally would be included in those of the Beanscene business.
Mr Mckenzie, 63, could not be contacted yesterday.

The interchange of trends between sportswear brands and traditional shoemakers continue. Several years ago, wingtips and brogues migrated from oxfords to sneakers and as of late, we've seen colorful outsoles much brighter than your average "brick red" appearing increasingly on oxfords. The Walk-Over Derby 100′s joins a list of respectable names such as ts(s) and Mark McNairy to create a coming together of subtle uppers and bright soles. The shoe is constructed in the United States with a suede upper, calfskin upper and Goodyear welt construction.

According to new guidelines issued by the capital markets regulator earlier this year, any individual or company seeking to advise investors would need to be registered with Sebi for such activities.
As per the latest information available with Sebi, 20 applications were pending with it for registration as investment advisers as on July 31, 2013. However, as many as 15 of these applications contained incomplete information and Sebi has sought further details from them. The other five applications were being processed, as on July 31.
The regulator issued guidelines in May about how to seek registration as investment advisers, rules for which were notified after month-long consultation process to tackle the menace of investors being duped by fraudulent entities offering misleading advice.
The norms require the investment advisers to submit various details about their activities, including disclosure of issues that could result in conflict of interests, among others.
The entities seeking Sebis registration as Investment Advisers include ICICI Securities, Edelweiss Investment Adviser, S P Tulsian Advisory Services, RGAM Corporation, IFMR Advisory Services, DSIJ and Shepherds Hill Capital Advisors. Others include LogicTree Capital Advisors, Valuefy Solutions and SenSage Financial Services, Principal Retirement Advisors and Vivekam Financial Services, as also individuals like Manjeet Singh Vohra and Mitresh Ravindra Joshi.
Under new guidelines, investment advisers, banks, non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and corporates, would have to segregate their investment advisory services from other activities as part of Sebis efforts to ensure more transparency.

Getting an FFL in Illinois??
Anyone here from Illinois have it (Non shop owner)? I am thinking about getting my FFL license. I'm planning on starting with doing transfers. I would like to get a small store front by next year. I've filled out the paperwork for the ATF & it looks like it's going to be $200.. I'm still waiting to send it in. I wanted to ask around in case I'm missing something. Any advice??
Make sure you can afford the insurence on you Home Owners policy. Many carriers will drop coverage if this licenise is for your home or rental. You will need personal coverage for protection from law suites as well. You must also check city and county zoning laws regarding storing firearms and ammo regulations. If this is in your home the BATF will be able to enter at anytime to check out the location. If you decide to give up the FFL you will have to keep your records up for 20 years. That is after you surrender all your transfer forums to the BATF.:)
I know a guy who operates out of his house in IL without any problems. This thread has some good info http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f47/ffl-how-40660/ I filed my paperwork about a month ago so it's just a waiting game for me now. Good luck.
The FFL Kit is just info to get yourself into a real jam. For your own good follow up on the items I listed for you.:)

Darth Cheney, edging ever closer to Becoming One with the birthers, the deathers, the teabaggers, and all the other far-fringers currently eating away at the corpse of the Republican Party, has decreed that President Barack Obama "doesn't fully understand or have the same perception of the US role in the world that most Americans have."
Obama's a dim-bulb stumblebum traitorous Muslim Kneegrow, that what you're sayin', Darth?
Darth next darkly intimated that another nefarious Kneegrow, Attorney General Eric Holder, is some sort of febrile Manchurian prosecutor hell-bent on dragging terrorists up to New York so they can there propagate Evil.
"I can't for the life of me figure out what Holder's intent here is in having Khalid Sheikh Mohammad tried in civilian court other than to have some kind of show trial. They'll simply use it as a platform to argue their case—it'll be a place for them to stand up and spread the terrible ideology that they adhere to."
Darth, who was okay with his hireling George II smooching Saudi princes, and prancing about with them hand in hand, also fulminated that Obama's respectful bow last week to the Emperor of Japan was "fundamentally harmful" to the United States.
Dang, Darth! Sounds like mebbe you think somethin' pretty darn drastic oughtta be done to that Kneegrow!
Darth's bilge was spilled Monday morning on something called the Scott Hennen Show. Hennen is the smooth-talking smoothbrain assigned by the rightwing noise machine to organ-grind lies out the radio in the Fargo, North Dakota region. As evidenced in the photo to the right, Hennen is a hunter, so it is possible that at some point Darth may be compelled to shoot him in the face.
Darth cried that the dirty lowdown Kneegrow "is somebody who bows before foreign leaders and spends his trips aboard primarily apologizing for US behavior," when everybody knows that "we are the world's foremost democracy, we have sacrificed thousands of lives to being freedom and democracy to people all over the world, to win World War II, World War I, etc."
Except that France is the world's foremost democracy, mutinous French and German troops ended World War I, and victory in World War II was secured by the Russians.
Darth of course dutifully repeated the lie that he and his hireling George II secured the "safety for the homeland here for 8 years," when in fact their incompetence and inattention were responsible for the most devastating attack on the US mainland in all of recorded history.
Having launched the failed imperial enterprises Occupation Enduring Fiefdom and Operation Iraqi Fiefdom, Darth is now all aflutter that the Bad Kneegrow is not "winning" his wars immediately. He indicated that the problem is that the White House is now infested with Kneegrows who are Dumb and Confused:
"It may be in part be inexperience on Obama's part, it may be that there's confusion on the staff, but I'm not encouraged by it. The President's obviously the ones we pay the big bucks to make these kinds of difficult decisions, and it's not as though he had not addressed this before[.] He's dithered."
I was especially touched when Darth, who has never met an American war that he didn't like, but who refused to himself serve in Vietnam because he had "other priorities," scrabbling hard to obtain five separate deferments, finally ordering his wife to become pregnant in a last-ditch effort to escape service, expressed concern for the very same troops he had killed and maimed and psychologically brutalized for more than seven years:
"I worry that the—ya know, there's a lack of understanding there, with what this means from the perspective of the troops, you know if you're out there on the line, day in and day out, and putting your life at risk, on a volunteer basis for the nation, and you see the commander in chief, unable, or appearing to be unable to make a decision about the way forward here, that raises serious doubts."
Darth declined to comment on evidence that he may be a sort of lizard-human hybrid, but did announce that he will soon menace the world with his seventh grandchild.

Two men have pleaded not guilty to stealing a prized $15,000 bronze statue of a pig outside a Chula Vista restaurant.
Oren Hertz and Armando Cesena entered their pleas to grand theft and other charges Wednesday in Superior Court.
The 3-foot-long bronze swine sat next to a sign outside Miguel's Cocina urging diners to "Eat more beef." Prosecutors say video surveillance footage from an ATM on April 4 caught the men ramming the pig statue with their pickup truck, removing it from its base, throwing it in the back of their truck and driving off.
Prosecutors say one of the men eventually contacted the restaurant and dumped the bronze porker at the Chula Vista Library. It was found wrapped in a blanket.

ot the entire Ballpark Village next to the home of the Cardinals will have a dress code. But eight of the village's bars and restaurants have dress codes. The village opened Thursday.
We applaud the businesses that have established dress codes. Sloppy attire cheapens business places. Yes, even bars.
Banned under most of the codes at the village are sleeveless shirts, sagging pants, exposed undergarments on men, profanity on clothing, excessively long shirts, athletic shorts after dark, sweat-suits and team jerseys now are OK. That's about as reasonable as a business can get!
There are some restrictions that affect children. Minors must be accompanied by their legal guardians and no one under age 21 can enter the village after 9 p.m.
The Budweiser Brew House prohibits hats on the second level. That will please people who find the wearing of hats objectionable in a restaurant or bar.
ost of us have been exposed at one time or another to a restaurant that requires men to wear a jacket (sport coat). There still are some eating establishments that require men to wear ties!
We have eaten in very nice restaurants in this country and in foreign lands that have relaxed their dress codes, and they seem to have lost some of their class. And, it has nothing to do with the food.
We have commented before about the casual attire worn by some people at church. We are not aware of any church that has an official dress code. Undoubtedly, if a person's attire is too offensive, that individual would be asked to leave, or not allowed in. Funeral homes don't have dress codes. It used to be that people who attended wakes were dressed well. Now it is casual like so many other places. At funeral services, respect to the deceased is evident because usually people are well dressed.
oday one will find almost any kind of casual attire worn in some business places. Others still maintain a "well dressed" or proper dress code. Dress-down days on a regular basis are observed at many business places. Employees like those days. They can be tied into minor fund-raising events also.
When top executives wear casual attire it doesn't always give a positive impression.
We have heard people say that when a restaurant has waiters dressed in tuxedoes it really adds class to the establishment. We agree.
Lawsuits have been filed when some places instituted dress codes. Plaintiffs in these lawsuits have claimed that the dress codes targeted African-Americans and it was alleged the codes were selectively enforced. The American Civil Liberties Union has been involved. The threat of lawsuits is another burden businesses face in today's world.
We've gone too far in casual dress. The sloppy attire worn by some people of both sexes should be banned in some public and private places.
We salute the businesses in Ballpark Village that have dress codes. It used to be that proper dress was taught at home by parents, or older brothers and sisters. Now we have to rely on a few brave businesses for that teaching effort.
There is a place for casual wear just as there is a place for proper dress codes.

HIV and AIDS, malaria, TB and diarrhoeal diseases are major health problems in Zambia. The HIV and AIDS pandemic has pushed most families below the poverty line. One in six adults and thirty-three thousand children are infected with the HIV virus. Longevity is forty two years of age. Malaria is the biggest killer of man, most deaths occur in children under the age of five in Sub-Sahara Africa. Lack of safe drinking water increases the risk of diarrhoea, which can be fatal in infants.
The Butterfly Tree runs a number of health programs in rural clinics, which receive very little government funding. The most crucial are malaria prevention to outreach communities in four Chiefdoms, providing mosquito nets and educational workshops. In 2015 we launched a new malaria prevention project, providing two safe products, which were first distributed in the Mukuni and Sekute Chiefdoms. HIV prevention education is essential, encouraging people to be tested in order to know their status; support, counselling and treatment are also available. Our successful HIV prevention method, using trained peer educators, works well in schools, to help prevent new cases of HIV.
We have advanced maternity care at Mukuni, Mambova, Mahalulu, Singwamba and Kasiya clinics, adding maternity wings and women's shelters. Whenever possible we fund treatment for children, a considerable number have received financial assistance for operations, special diets, medication and physiotherapy.
Over twenty thousand people are dependent on the funding and medical supplies we provide to rural clinics. An entire Health Centre was added at Mahalulu and a rural clinic was built at Muchambile in 2014. Two further women's shelters were added in 2015 and a new clinic for Mambova, to replace the old one, is currently under construction. We have an environmental officer on our team in Zambia and work with highly qualified government employed medical staff. Experienced volunteers from all over the world assist at the rural clinics and Livingstone hospital.
Our support is vital – without it these vulnerable people would have very limited medical services.

A German court has sentenced a 42-year-old Turkish software dealer to two years and 11 months in prison for distributing Microsoft Corp. products with forged licenses. The man was arrested in June 2006 by German police and had been held in custody until the court ruling. After eight days of hearings, the district court in Bochum, Germany, found the Turkish dealer guilty of reselling 18,555 products with forged licenses to other dealers ignorant of the illegal activity. Microsoft estimates the loss of the forged licenses at $5.2 million, including the money paid by customers who acquired software they were unable to use.

Hamburg (Sep. 3)
Several German pilots have been alerted and quarantined inside Cuxhaven Harbor in anticipation of the arrival of the three ships caring the Exodus refugees which were reported today to be nearing Hamburg.
Each pilot is accompanied by a British officer to prevent any contact between him and the Jews and to apprehend any messages which the refugees may attempt to ?ss to the pilots. The disembarkation is expected to begin Saturday or Sunday. Intelligence officers will screen the passengers for suspected extremists.
The executive council of the Central Committee of Jews in the British zone is getting in Belsen reportedly to work out a protest to the authorities over condition in the camps being prepared for the refugees and to urge that the Germans currently employed there be removed. The Committee has expressed its willingness to ? the ill among the Jews.

What the Hell, MJ?
A petty guy!
What the Hell, MJ?
A petty guy!
Too bad Kanye didn't steal Mike's mic!
You are correct, Birthday Boy!
The occasion was an opportunity for MJ to be gracious, humble and to thank the people who helped him and believed in him.
Instead, he declaimed his perceived critics, brought up old feuds that should have no meaning to him any more and tried to settle scores with those he feels slighted or dissed him. What a bizarre performance.
He was the greatest that played, everyone acknowledges that, but he carried on like he still had to shove the point down everyone's throat- like Serena's tennis ball.
What a chump! There is no talent so great that it can cover such poor character. How miserable he must be.
After MJ brought up the guy who was placed on the high school team instead of him, and MJ saying that the coach made a mistake...I was hoping the coach would be quoted as saying, "No, I didn't make a mistake. MJ can thank me in private."
This just in: Michael Jordan will be inviting Sam Bowie and former Portland Trailblazers execs to a special post induction speech/press conference where Michael will berate them all for not drafting him higher.
He has also invited Hakeem Olajuwan and will point out that Hakeem has four fewer championship rings.
Rumor has it that Michael will also fly in several Vietnamese women who used to make his shoes and tell them that without him, they'd be nothing.

Albany, Ga. • Defense attorneys for three people charged in a deadly salmonella outbreak sought to deflect blame and poke holes in the government's case Tuesday as they grilled a co-defendant, who is a key prosecution witness.
The co-defendant, Samuel Lightsey, was a former manager of a Georgia peanut processing plant blamed in the 2008-09 outbreak. He was indicted along with his former boss, Peanut Corporation of America owner Stewart Parnell, and two others. Lightsey pleaded guilty in May after reaching a deal with prosecutors.
The 76-count indictment accuses Parnell and his brother, food broker Michael Parnell, of shipping tainted products to customers and covering up lab tests showing they contained salmonella. It also charges Stewart Parnell and the plant's quality assurance manager, Mary Wilkerson, with obstructing justice.

Day 31 of 60 Day Challenge!!!
Day 31!
Hi there!
We did it!!! We completed our first month of the 60 Day Challenge!!! How are you doing? How's your progress? Sometimes, the first month is the hardest because when we don't see results, we want to quit. Remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Learn to measure your progress by how you feel, how your clothes feel, how strong you're getting, how your stamina and endurance is growing, etc. The scale is just one part of the program but it doesn't tell the whole story. This is the first time where I feel like my journey is growing in all areas. I'm not focused on the scale and I'm totally OK with it. I am encouraged by my endurance and my self control. I am eating well and working out hard. I encourage you to try new things. If you're stuck in a rut, shake it up and push yourself. Don't get comfortable. Let us know how you're doing.
1) Thursday- Yoga Day! Take this time to work on your mental game as well as your body. Align your body, spirit and mind. Connect each breath to each movement and practice being present. Check out these great exercises.
2) Insanity day 10- I definitely see myself getting stronger. I can get through a workout without dying! The body is an amazing vessel! I am amazed at how it can quickly adapt. In the beginning, I couldn't even imagine being able to get through one workout without stopping. I'm looking forward to my next fit test to see how I'm progressing.
3) Mantra for the Day- Every Decision Counts!
Focus on every detail today. Fight to stay present and be engaged. Every decision no matter how big or small counts! Remind yourself that this is for the long haul and not just a fad diet. This is a lifestyle change and every decision will either bring you closer to your goals or take you further from it. The decision is up to you. Your future is up to you. Stop making excuses and start taking full responsibility. We're here to support you!!!
Love you guys and I'm rooting for you!!! XOXO:)))
