A TEENAGE cyclist suffered serious injuries after being hit by a car.
The girl, believed to be 18, was apparently thrown from her bike by an uneven road surface in Southend Road, Rochford, near the Anne Boleyn pub, at about 1.20pm today.
The car behind was unable to avoid the teen as she fell in its path.
Traffic queued as police closed the road for almost an hour.
A police spokeswoman said: "A girl has fallen off her bike due to the uneven road surface. The car behind was unable to avoid her.
"She is described as having serious but not life-threatening injuries.
"A silver Renault Clio collided with her.
"The road reopened at about 2.15pm."

I Had a BA 4 Weeks Ago, Subglandular 350cc Gel. When I Lay Flat my Implabts Move to the Side. 5 foot 1 inches 120 pounds.. Was a 34 deflated c due to 3 breasted children..
4 Weeks Post-op. Implants Move to the Side When I Lay Down. Revision Needed?
Doctor Answers 14
Implants falling off to the side at 4 weeks.
Assuming the problem is not just natural breast flattening and falling off to the side and is the implant moving out but not the breast, I would say this may well be a problem and I view it as one more common to subglandular placement of implants.
I disagree with some of the responses. The capsule of scar tissue that heals around the implant is there by 10 days or so but like any scar tissue, can mature, stretch, or contract. I doubt that at four weeks a discrepancy between the implant and the pocket will correct itself by bra splinting or any external maneuvers.
Subglandular placement of implants leaves very little control over the tissues containing the implant until the capsule is formed. If the pocket dissected for the implant was too wide for the implant or the implant placed was too narrow for the pocket, then the implant will float around in the pocket and not stay behind the breast like a foot that is too small for a shoe. Very stretchy tissues can do this over time even with subpectoral placement but it shouldn't be there at four weeks.
The correction for this problem by altering the existing subglandular capsule is not an easy one and sometimes the best solution is to not alter the capsule but replace the implant with a wider one that fits the capsule space better. Another solution is to redo the capsule space (or part of it) by redoing the augmentation to a subpectoral placement of the implant.
I would certainly wait at least to the three months point to be fairly certain the tissues are fully recovered and aren't going to change any further before making a decision on a revision.
Implant movement 4 weeks after breast augmentation
At 4 weeks post breast augmentation, you are still in the early healing phase and the problem you have described may improve as you body forms a scar capsule around your implants. Check with your surgeon for specific advice, but in the meantime avoid excessive movement of the implants and wear a bra that helps keep the implants in proper position. Best wishes.

Breast Implants Moved to Side When Lying Down?
Thank you for the question.
I would agree with the previous respondents, that it is too early to be concerned about the need for revisionary surgery and about the potential usefulness of a relatively snug fitting bra ( keeping the breasts implants immediately positioned).
If the lateral displacement of the breast implants does become a long-term concern, then revisionary surgery may be necessary. This breast implant displacement can be corrected using an internal suture technique decreasing the size of the pockets and moving the implants toward the midline.
I hope this helps.

Implants moving to the side
At just 4 weeks post op I wouldn't be too worried about your implants moving to the side when you lay down. At this early stage your capsule hasn't completely formed yet. I would highly recommend that you wear a really supportive bra for the next two months (the first three months post op) to help keep your implants in a good position while your capsule fully forms. Beyond this you need to ask your surgeon for suggestions. Best wishes to you!
Implants too to the side
Four weeks after surgery is a little early to be convinced that the implants are too far to the side. Even if they are, at this time you might be able to salvage the position by wearing a good bra continuously for at least 6 weeks. Before anything you should return to your surgeon and discuss the situation. Good luck.

Breast Implant movement after augmentation
In general, a good breast augmentation will look natural and feel soft. Breast implants, if smooth, should have some space around them to keep that soft look and feel and this is part of the reason to create a pocket that has enough room to fit the implant nicely. If the pocket is overdissected, or sometimes with trauma or unusual stretching of the tissues, the breast implant can have too much space to move and it can move to an unexpected position. When a person with breast implants lies down, the implants should move to the side a small amount, as a natural breast would move, but not enough to leave the central breast area hollowed our looking or to cause discomfort under the arms. When standing, the implants should be centered under the nipples, You are relatively early in the post-operative period, but I'm sure your surgeon would be happy to address your concerns.
So do normal breasts
Women who have breasts find that they move too --- when you lie down they go out to the sides. This can be a normal finding. Talk to your doctor

Implants fall to the side
Its likely fine. I would not be thinking revision and you should make sure you communicate with your plastic surgeon. If they are in the correct position when you stand and do not fall to the side then there is little to worry about.
Implants Move to the Side When Laying Down, Revision Required?
It is completely normal for an augmented breast to move somewhat to the outside when laying down. However, how far to the side is appropriate? You are still pretty early post-op so I wouldn't expect your implant to be especially mobile at this point. If, when you lie down your breast moves so far to the outside that when you look down your breast looks hollowed out or depressed along the inside, then the implant pocket may have been overdissected and you would need a revision. Ultimately it is impossible to say for sure without at least some good photos or examining you. This is something you should discuss with your surgeon.
Lateral movement to implants
This is normal since the ribcage curves and the implants should naturally fall towards the side. This occurs more than with submuscular implants which are a bit more constrained. If they fall too far to the side then that might be a problem. But if they look like they are in the correct position when you stand up, chances are they are in an appropriate position.

Desire and Excess:
In this fascinating look at the creative power of institutions, Jonah Siegel explores the rise of the modern idea of the artist in the nineteenth century, a period that also witnessed the emergence of the museum and the professional critic. Treating these developments as interrelated, he analyzes both visual material and literary texts to portray a culture in which art came to be thought of in powerful new ways. Ultimately, Siegel shows that artistic controversies commonly associated with the self-consciously radical movements of modernism and postmodernism have their roots in a dynamic era unfairly characterized as staid, self-satisfied, and stable.
The nineteenth century has been called the Age of the Museum, and yet critics, art theorists, and poets during this period grappled with the question of whether the proliferation of museums might lead to the death of Art itself. Did the assembly and display of works of art help the viewer to understand them or did it numb the senses? How was the contemporary artist to respond to the vast storehouses of art from disparate nations and periods that came to proliferate in this era?
Siegel presents a lively discussion of the shock experienced by neoclassical artists troubled by remains of antiquity that were trivial or even obscene, as well as the anxious aesthetic reveries of nineteenth-century art lovers overwhelmed by the quantity of objects quickly crowding museums and exhibition halls. In so doing, he illuminates the fruitful crises provoked when the longing for admired art is suddenly satisfied. Drawing upon neoclassical art and theory, biographies of early nineteenth-century writers including Keats and Scott, and the writings of art critics such as Hazlitt, Ruskin, and Wilde, this book reproduces a cultural matrix that brings to life the artistic passions and anxieties of an entire era.
"Desire and Excess is rich in . . . luminous insights, [and is] beautifully expressed. . . . The strength of [Siegal's book] lies in how vividly [it] evoke[s] a visual life for nineteenth-century Britons that makes us feel as if we see what they saw."--Gillen D'Arcy Wood, The Wordsworth Circle
"This is an extensive and ambitious study. . . . Siegel's book is the product of many years of thought and research. . . . [T]he central argument is compelling. The artists and critics of the nineteenth century are not, as they are sometimes thought to be, of one mind about the nature and role of art, and of the museums that house collections of art. The questions that worried them are complex and testing, and they are still unresolved."--Dinah Birch, Times Literary Supplement
"[A] subtly argued, richly textured, and gracefully written study of the interwoven histories of the figure of the artist and museum culture in the nineteenth-century Britain."--Hilary Fraser, Nineteenth-Century Literature
"Desire and Excess is one of the most exciting and sophisticated books I have read for some time. It is capaciously learned, sensitively researched, and wonderfully graceful and witty. By reconsidering the institutions and aesthetics responsible for the culture of the museum in modernity, it offers a new history of art-historical discourse."--Isobel Armstrong, Birkbeck College, London
"Desire and Excess tells about the time a dazzling company of poets got lost inside the Louvre, and only got out once they had together created the giant figure of the Artist. Jonah Siegel's brilliance is continually breathtaking, so it's lucky that he has placed such solid ground beneath our feet by his luxurious, intricately wrought scholarship."--Elaine Scarry, author of On Beauty and Being Just

The "Tagged-out" crossbow sight design fills all the needs that have been missing for years in the crossbow world.
DurabilityThe Tagged Out crossbow sight is the toughest sight in the archery industry today. it is constructed out of solid aluminum from front to back. Its bright four pin fiber optic design is totally enclosed and truly built for some serious use. This sight is impervious to all weather condtions. It performs perfectly in rain, fog and snow.
AccuracyThe Tagged Out crossbow sight is engineered from the ground up to be accurate. Once sighted in the first time, the sight uses preset pin gaps that allow for no error. Covering distances out to 60 yards and equipped with a three stage rheostat light for low light conditions makes it as complete as you will ever need it for all hunting conditions. In most cases, after mounting it, you truly will need no adjustment. It will simply shoot bulls eyes right out of the box. But, if needed, Bad River Outdoors designed their peep to allow for all the windage and elevation.
Range AbilityNow you have the range ability with the use of Bad River Outdoors "Tagged-Out" Extreme deer range finder that comes included on every sight. This enables the hunter to know the distance to their taget while aiming at the same time. Engineered for the crossbow, it makes it a very efficient tool when all you need to do is simply place the brackets on the deer and quickly determine how far away the animal is, then go to the corresponding pin. These sights work equally well on the 3D range. This enhances your ability to accurately range and shoot preparing yourself for when you go into the field.

The Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) and Viet Nam National University (VNU) yesterday signed a US$5-million project to develop green technology for biodiesel production in Viet Nam.
The five-year project will focus on development of oil plants in desolate and contaminated areas, development of green technologies for biodiesel production, and the newest environmental monitoring method for biodiesel utilisation.
Chief representative of JICA Viet Nam Motonori Tsuno said that the project was necessary for Viet Nam because it was one of the countries most affected by climate change in Asia and the Pacific region.
The five-year project, entitled "Multi-beneficial measures for mitigation of climate change in Viet Nam and Indochinese countries through the development of biomass energy," aims to establish an economically and environmentally superior biomass energy cycle (cultivation-production-utilisation) and broad use of the technology throughout the world.
Project participants include leading Japanese and Vietnamese scientists from Osaka Prefecture University, Osaka City University, Ehime University, Viet Nam National University (Ha Noi), Viet Nam National University (HCM City) and the Institute of Environmental Technology.
"Biodiesel fuel will be produced from inedible local plant oils through the use of green technology. The use of biodiesel will not produce extra carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and will therefore limit global warming and help to mitigate the impacts of climate change," said Professor Yasuaki Maeda from Osaka Prefecture University. — VNS

OverviewThe Hinter Grauspitz, also known by its alternate name Schwarzhorn, is the second highest point in Liechtenstein, located on the border of that country and Switzerland. A cross stands on its summit, making it very easy to recognize from the surrounding area. There are no maintained trails to the Schwarzhorn, yet most routes are not technically difficult. Generally, more hikers summit the Schwarzhorn and do not continue to the Grauspitz because of the difficulty. The summit book in the side of the cross has many names in it. The simplest hike to the summit involves 750 meters of elevation gain over about 4 kilometers. One can take the Älpli Bahn from the town of Malans to a height of 1801 meters. From there, a nice hike will bring you to Ijes, a small dairy farm. Here, the maintained trail ends. After ascending steep grassy slopes and a thin ridge, you will be at the summit. On a clear day the entire country of Liechtenstein is visible from the summit, along with Austria to the east, and south down to the Piz
Getting ThereThe best way to climb the Schwarzhorn is to approach it from the Älpli Bahn. From freeway E35, about 10 kilometers south of Bad Ragaz, take exit 14, Landquart. Head east on the main road, following the sign that points to Malans. Soon you'll come to the small town. Follow the main street through town. Once again, there are signs pointing to the Älpli Bahn. Parking is free at the base of the gondola.
Red TapeParking is free at the base of the gondola. One must make reservations to ride the gondola. Try for something early in the morning if you are going to day hike the Schwarzhorn. Round trip price for an adult is 15 Swiss Franks.
When to ClimbSummer is the best time to climb. Get an early start to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. It can also be climbed in the fall, winter, and spring with crampons and ice axes.

WASHINGTON, Sept 4: A bipartisan group of US senators has urged President Asif Ali Zardari to protect Pakistan's minorities from the misuse of the blasphemy law.
In a letter to the president, the senators expressed their concern over the arrest of a young Christian girl with Down's syndrome for allegedly burning pages of Muslim holy books.
They noted that the girl had been in police custody since her arrest from an Islamabad suburb two and a half weeks ago and could face life in prison or even the death penalty under Pakistani law.
They called for ending the unjust imprisonment of the girl and for to ensuring protection of Dr Paul Bhatti, the Prime Minister's Adviser on Interfaith Harmony. Noting that a "mere allegation" against the girl had forced Christians to flee her neighbourhood due to fear of retribution, the senators urged the Pakistani government to ensure their safety.
The letter also demanded an immediate end to violence against Hindus and Ahmadis.

Good morning,
Please note that I have the following two problems with my recent Marantz SR7005 Airplay update:
As soon as I did the update I noticed that when the receiver is in standby mode and I switch on my windows PC the receiver turns ON by its own and goes to NET/USB stage. Is there a possibility to stop this so that it will just turn ON automatically only when I open the iTune program and select the SR7005 speakers?
Also I noticed that when I use the iTunes program and select my computer speakers the program works fine but as soon as I select the SR7005's speakers the program works for three seconds (from the SR7005's speakers) and then stops on its own.
I removed the iTune software and installed it again but nothing has changed.
Any ideas.....?
Have a nice day,
Kind regards,

Weighing in just under the $1,000 price point, PlushBeds Queen Size Eco Bliss hybrid latex mattress is an excellent choice for anyone interested in twenty or more years of comfortable sleep. And who isn't, right? Part of the beauty is the long 20-year warranty, but that's only the beginning of the many great things to remember when comparing this mattress to others in the same price range.
Best of Both Worlds
With the Eco Bliss hybrid latex mattress, you get the benefits of 100 percent natural latex for unsurpassed pressure relief while you sleep, as well as the CertiPUR certified PlushFoam mattress core. The core is the most critical part of the mattress when it comes to longevity.
Mattresses with inferior cores break down and begin to sag quickly. No one wants to sleep on a saggy mattress, and if you haven't slept on a saggy mattress, consider yourself lucky. Some of them are even made with dangerous chemicals.
The CertiPUR certification means that the Eco Bliss mattress core is made without noxious chemicals for better indoor air quality. These mattress cores have also been rigorously tested for durability and performance.
One Hundred Night Comfort Exchange
Many people fail to understand that trying a mattress out in store and lying down on it for 30 or so minutes provides no real clues as to how well that mattress is going to feel once your body has had a chance to adjust to the mattress. It generally takes at least a month or two to gauge how well the mattress really fits your sleep needs.
The Eco Bliss mattress offers the 100-night comfort exchange program so that you can change out the firmness of the mattress for a flat $45 shipping fee. Even better, you don't have to send the entire mattress back to make the change since the layers of the Eco Bliss mattress aren't glued together.
If you decide this is simply not the mattress for you, within the 100-night period, you can also elect to send the mattress back altogether for a flat rate shipping fee of $99. There are no restocking fees or other surprise expenses coming your way.
Custom Firmness
You have the option of two levels of mattress firmness: medium or medium-firm. Your mattress is custom made when you order it, allowing you the option of picking the perfect mattress for your needs. Side sleepers prefer the medium mattress as it provides outstanding pressure point relief while also offering an incredible amount of support and comfort. The medium firm is well suited for back sleepers who prefer firmer sleep surfaces for unparalleled support.
Earth Friendly
From the natural latex rubber used in creating the latex layer of the mattress to the CertiPUR certified foam layer and the wool fire barrier, this mattress is as friendly to the planet as it is to the people who sleep on it. Add that to the absence of certain petrochemicals and glues, and it's no wonder this mattress is a real winner in its price range as well as in comparison to higher price ranges.
Then there's the 20-year warranty. Mattresses occupy a great deal of landfill space around the world. Most mattresses last an average of seven years before requiring replacement. These mattresses last nearly three times that long. It's an all-around win for Mother Earth.
The benefits of this latex mattress at a price that's less than $1,000 makes it a winning choice for the best mattress for under $1,000 category. There's no time like the present to begin your 100-night sleep trial!

State government last week suggested de-notification of large areas of forest and reserve forest land. This throws three other locations in the ring Kakinada in East Godavari district in Coastal Andhra, Vinukonda and Macherla in Guntur district of Coastal Andhra.
According to Chief Secretary P K Mohanty, 1.5 lakh acres of contiguous land would be required to establish a new capital township.
But it is a long-drawn process, argues political commentator T Ravi. The Centre will have to expedite clearances and permissions if forest land is to be used. There will be a lot of protests and concerns about damage to the environment.
There is also the problem of water. For example, as Hyderabad expanded and population grew quickly, the local water sources proved inadequate and special arrangements had to be made to pump Krishna river water through pipelines. A capital township will need millions of litres of water daily. Water may have to be diverted from other areas to the new capital to make it viable and sustainable, says the official at Vijayawadas School of Planning and Architecture.

Corey Robin: The War on TaxRoundup: Historians' Take
Corey Robin teaches political science at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. His second book, The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Sarah Palin, is coming out from Oxford.
... Had politics not intruded and had Obama heeded the advice of centre-left economists, these are the steps he might have taken. First, do nothing about the debt, at least not now. The debt can be significantly reduced only if the economy improves. The best way to encourage that is for the government to spend, which will add to the debt in the short term but reduce it in the long term through revenues generated by growth. Second, once the economy is healthy, increase taxes, particularly on the wealthy. As a share of GDP, revenues are at their lowest levels since 1950. With the exception of a brief interregnum in the late 1980s and early 1990s, top marginal rates are the lowest they've been since 1931. Corporate taxes in the US are the lowest of any OECD country. The notion that taxes shouldn't be raised, not only to fund necessary and desirable expenditure but also to cut the debt, runs counter to common sense. Last, cut military spending. As the economic journalist Doug Henwood has observed, if the US simply returned to the spending levels of 2000 – when 'the Pentagon didn't have to hold bake sales' and spending was 3.7 per cent of GDP as opposed to the current 5.4 per cent – it could save $3.6 trillion in the next decade, 72 per cent more than the debt-ceiling deal negotiated by Obama and Congress will save.
Instead, Obama and Congress took the opposite path, which was paved 40 years ago by the anti-tax philosophy of the American right. In February 2010, Obama convened a bipartisan commission to balance the budget by 2015, effectively making debt reduction a top priority. After the November midterm election, when the Republicans took back the House with the help of the Tea Party, Obama froze the pay of federal workers and endorsed a more aggressive austerity programme. Cuts were proposed and tax increases dismissed: not just once (with the extension of the Bush tax cuts in December) but twice (with the first phase of the debt deal, which eliminates $900 billion solely through spending cuts) and now potentially a third time (with the second phase of the deal, which eliminates an additional $1.2 trillion solely through spending cuts if a congressional committee can't produce an alternative package of tax increases and spending cuts by November). While the deal does include defence cuts – though it's unclear if these are cuts or simply slower rates of growth, and whether and how most of them will happen – Obama's latest comments, and those of his defence secretary, suggest they could be traded for benefit cuts....
Historically, debt crises resulting from wars have catalysed politically progressive advances and even precipitated revolutions. Both Charles I and Louis XVI found themselves entangled in military conflicts their tax systems couldn't fund. Debts eventually forced both into fatal confrontations: Charles with Parliament in 1640 and Louis with the Estates General in 1789. Beyond financial exigency, the revolutions that overthrew these sovereigns drew on arguments the kings themselves had to make in order to raise taxes and fund their wars. As Richard Tuck has suggested, it may have been Charles himself who opened the door to democracy in England. Levying an ancient tax on coastal towns (ship money) to fund a naval expedition against the Dutch, the Crown made the claim that the people's safety was the highest ground for political action – an axiom of republicans through the ages – superseding any law or constitution. Though used to justify absolutism, Charles's rhetoric about the 'interests of the people' carried a subversive democratic implication: these are not my wars, they're yours, and you ought to do everything you can to see that they are won. Parliamentary forces could counter that if the interests and safety of the people were the gold standard of politics, it should be the people's elected representatives who decided what that interest or safety consisted in and how it ought to be secured.
In the wake of 9/11 many liberals hoped that the war on terror would open a new chapter in American social democracy, with calls for patriotic sacrifice generating an ethic of social solidarity. Instead, Bush slashed taxes, borrowed through the nose and turned the war on terror into a spectator sport rather than a people's war. Late modern sovereigns, it seems, push their polities away from democracy by mustering mercenary armies and tapping into flush credit markets. As a result, no one in the United States need claim ownership over anything common or collective: not its wars or debts, not its government, and certainly not its ever more impoverished and precarious citizenry.
That's why the current crisis has served as an opportunity for retrenchment and reaction rather than sparking a democratic revolt on the left. To that extent, it calls to mind similar crises in the Third World over the last three decades, which were used by elites to justify drastic cuts in government spending and the restructuring of social democratic economies. Or, for that matter, the New York City fiscal crisis of 1975, when Wall Street rallied to impose discipline and austerity on the one outpost of social democracy in America, in a move many have seen as a precursor of later experiments in Latin America and elsewhere. Obama's persistent calls for austerity have been in keeping with the stance of Wall Street Democrats during the 1975 crisis and, in the wake of that crisis, a national party remade in the image of Wall Street....

The virtual currency Bitcoins can now be used to buy a pizza, thanks to a new service that acts as a middleman for conversion of Bitcoins into US dollars.
The virtual currency Bitcoins can now be used to buy a pizza, thanks to a new service that acts as a middleman for conversion of Bitcoins into US dollars.
The service, Pizza for Coins, allows users to spend their virtual cash on pizzas from Dominos. For those who prefer Pizza Hut or Papa John's, orders for them will be coming soon.
There are some drawbacks to ordering in this way, however. The cost of a pizza will go up, with all orders tacking on an additional conversion fee of 0.09 bitcoins ($2.35), making each order more expensive compared to ordering directly from the fast food outlets. The creators of the service hope to eventually decrease the fee and even make it cheaper to buy pizzas with Bitcoins.
Another drawback is that the conversion process makes it take longer before an order is delivered, with some taking as much as 80 minutes. Fast food it is not, it seems.
Bitcoins were invented in 2009 as an experimental "crypto-currency," employing cryptography and a peer-to-peer network for a very unorthodox approach to money. There is no central authority, and there is a hard limit to how many bitcoins are allowed in circulation.
The currency is seen as an attractive alternative to traditional banking, especially by those who might want to avoid connections between their real life and what they are purchasing. However, it can also leave a public trail, and the digital nature means it is liable to cyber attacks, with millions of dollars worth stolen in various incidents.
Bitcoins are considered the most widely used virtual currency in the world. Each coin is worth roughly $26, and there is an estimated $200 million worth of the digital dosh in circulation.

The UN Special Investigator on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories, Richard Falk on October 24 made a call to boycott Caterpillar, Hewlett Packard, Motorola, Veolia Environment, G4S, Dexia, Volvo Group, Assa Abloy, Ahava, Elbit Systems, Mehadrin, Riwal Holding Group and Cemex. He called for a boycott of all companies that have dealings with Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem until they adhere to international rights standards and practices. These companies are violating international human rights and humanitarian laws by exploiting Palestinian resources and helping Israel construct illegal settlements and provide security for them.
In a report presented to the UN General Assembly, Falk said a number of Israeli-owned and multinational corporations headquartered in the US, Europe and Mexico appear to be violating international human rights and humanitarian laws by exploiting Palestinian resources and helping Israel construct illegal settlements and provide security for them.
Falk said the call for a boycott is an effort to take infractions of international law seriously and "use what influence we have to change behaviour." He said the pace of Israeli settlement building has accelerated and Israel has ignored UN resolutions condemning the practice, so "there is a sense that what the U.N. says doesn't count."
Falk, a Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University, has previously angered Israel by comparing the Jewish state to Nazi Germany and accusing it of crimes against humanity because of its treatment of Palestinians. Israel has barred Falk from visiting the Palestinian territories.
In the report, Falk reiterated his request that the Israeli government cooperate with his efforts, as he said it is required to do under the UN Charter.

A dream to work with!
Posted by Rebecca Cole on 16th Jan 2015
I love the 100% wool felt from A Child's Dream. I used to purchase felt from my local Joanne's but the quality is a million times better than that! It cuts nicely, sews nicely, retains its shape. I'm NEVER going back to anything other than 100% wool.
wonderful colors selection
Posted by Robin P. on 31st Jul 2014
What a treat to get so much color!! I always have a hard time picking out separate colors so I choose the group bundle. The colors they give you are great! So rich, so bright, so lovely. The price seemed right although I wish they gave you a bit more, but don't we all:)

Randall Morrison, the former treasurer for a branch of the Ronald McDonald House Charities, is on trial for stealing $142,000 from the organization's children and their families, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports.
The money was stolen from the Ronald McDonald House Holiday Cruise, a Seattle-based arm of the charity, which provides an annual evening of entertainment to ill children and their families. The theft was so steep, it has jeopardized the program's future.
"This is an awful thing that's happened to us," Steve Lamson, founder of the Ronald McDonald House Holiday Cruise, told KirklandReporter.com. "He took all our money."
Embezzlement accusations surfaced after Morrison, 50, had left the company. He later admitted to stealing the money, and is now on trial and faces 27 months in prison. On Monday, Morrison's lawyer withdrew from the case, and a new trial date has not yet been set, according to the Intelligencer.
Other sources say Morrison could be slapped with harsher penalties, with up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines, the Daily Mail reports.
"Mr. Morrison's insatiable desire for money is inexcusable," Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Masada told the court. "While the defendant was fixated on improving his already high standard of living, the true victims of his crime were consumed with the fragility of life itself."
Lisa Haistings, the president of the Ronald McDonald House Holiday Cruise told KirklandReporter.com that Morrison "took the majority of the money we had," and hopes new donations will help restore what the charity lost.

How are you applying the liner? Try using the side of the pencil instead of the tip.
I'm with calbear on this one, I can not stand it when people line their lips with a really dark shade or a color that stands out from the color they use to fill in their lips.
When people have liquid eyeliner with the flicks pointing at different angles!
Pronouncing products that we carry incorrectly. "Do you have Laura Mer-cer?" It's pronounced Mer-si-yay. I understand a lot of the foreign companies have complicated names, but it's a guess it's just a gigantic pet peeve since I work with them constantly.
Another is the Kim Kardashian concealer fad. We have these several young ladies who come in with WHITE concealer in triangle under eye area. My guess is NC40/NW25, but white concealer. Drives me up the waaaaaaaaall. I want to attack them with makeup wipes.
Young girls who cover up their beautiful, youthful skin everyday with a full face of make-up instead of spot concealing, which adds years to their look.
The use of dark lip liner or black eyeliner on the lips. Makeup is meant to accentuate, not eliminate, your beauty. I happen to think that colors, no matter what shades, can be used in an artistic way. This does not mean that you should forgo blending. However, when makeup is used in such a way that is unflattering, people need to recognize.
Where to begin…
1. I really don't like young girls using black liner in their waterline. All I see are black holes instead of beautiful eyes.
2. Too much powder on dry…old…skin.
3. Too much shimmer on older skin. ( I am older, so I know what i"m talking about. :-)
4. No blush, to too much blush.
5. Too pale of lips. Not loving the wine, 80's inspired lips right now, but I do like a toned done variety.
6. Lack of blending
7. Foundation lines…as bad a panty lines!
8. Racoon eyes…I've been guilty of this. I love B.E. Well-Rested, but those minerals can sure glow in the – uh – camera lights!
9. Well-done face that forget the lips.
10. Shimmer, shimmer, shimmer everywhere. Ugh.
I hate it when someone has super caked on foundation, and raccoon eyes as well.. but the absolute worst is when someone sharpies in their eyebrows.
You mean like this orsolyax ?
GEESH !… reading all these replies just leads me to think i missed a few things…. my list just got longer !
I'm sure everyone is guilty of one of these make-up don'ts. For those who chose to apply make-up everyday, I think it is a matter of personal taste and what makes you feel beautiful. I feel kinda bad with the pictures of those ladies posted because I'm sure they felt beautiful at that moment. I know I myself am not the greatest at applying make-up because I don't wear it a lot….The full face photos could've been left out….no one is perfect.
@Marcy LOOOOOLLLLLL!
Spider lashes
Reverse-raccoon eyes
Unflattering blush color (clown red isn't sexy on anyone!)
Shimmery bronzer as contour…this makes me laugh more than anything!
Semi-related, but I can't STAND when I see a "makeup artist" on youtube doing something disgustingly unsanitary or using a brush wrong. I remember seeing one video where a girl was reviewing a fan brush, and she was like "it doesn't apply blush very well so I am giving it a bad review". I was like are you kidding me?! D:
i think its funny when people try to tell others how to wear makeup when they cake it on themselves. Also when they use their summer shades in the dead winter. I live in minnesota so summer is way way way darker then the winter. most people are pale white and super tan in the summer. I try to do all differnt colors and styles with eye shadow and eye liner when i have time. My friends make fun of me for it and also put me down because i have every color eye shadow and eye liner. I'm not good with the camera stuff so I don't know if I will ever make any of them on here. It bothers me also when people leave skin between their lash line and eye liner and clumpy mascara! Bright red lip stick with extremely yellow teeth. YUCK! Also extremely pale skin with bright bright red blush! I personally dont like any lip liner. I never have liked it one me or anyone. but that is just me to each their own.. its not horrible but i think its just that one extra step you don't really need. It might just be the different generations though.
Oooh, where to begin? I realise some the pet peeve of some ladies is people like me who embrace my paleness rather than trying to cover it up with too much bronzer and fake tan but actually, that's one of mine! When people apply so much bronzer and fake tan that they look orange. Yuck! Unblended eyeshadow, very pale lips, brows that are plucked into round shapes or pencilled in really low down and too much blush. I saw someone in the supermarket today and she was kind of orange with bright pink blush all over her cheeks and not blended. It was like a traffic accident. I didn't want to look but I couldn't help it! lol
…all of this

Visited on 24th June 2017. Lovely old tiled pub on Oldham St and in the Northern Quarter. It's got a couple of rooms, decor is nice and traditional and well looked after. Beer range is mostly cask beer with Robinson's featuring heavily but still has some interesting guests. Service and prices decent enough. It's one to visit if you're a pub fan, but not an essential beer stop for the hardened ticker.
joetownpunk (66) , | January 16, 2017
This traditional pub is open until 1 during the week so a great place to finish a night. Plenty of cask ales, mainly from Robinson's Brewery. There are more rooms at the back that I believe play host to live music on other nights. Extra points for it's amazing jukebox which I made the most of on this visit.
ladnewton (203) London, England | October 8, 2016
Visited this traditional boozer on 30th September 2016. A Friday evening, it was packed with friendly folk letting their hair down and supping the eight or so Robinsons ales available. Friendly staff, too. Worthy of a quick stop while crawling in the area.
Leighton (1042) London, England | March 25, 2016
A solid old-school boozer. The beer range emphasizes cask Robinson's, not surprisingly. Some good guests on cask, too. Mostly macro on keg and in bottle. Small bar and a few tables out front, with more seating in back areas. Decent value, adequate service. Perhaps not a crucial stop in Manchester, but worthwhile if you are nearby.
Fin (1149) Merton, Oxfordshire, England, England | April 19, 2015
We visited the The Castle Hotel on Saturday 18th April 2015. I have to say we weren't intending to go here it just happened to be en- route to somewhere else, however I am glad that we did stumble across this as it was an excellent pub. It is a Robinsons pub so their beers dominated the ten handpumps on offer, though Loz had a Mordue IPA, I had a ltd edition stout from Robinsons, both were in good nick. The pub is on Oldham Rd, just a hundred yards or so before it hits Great Ancoats St. As you enter you'll be impressed by the wonderful glazed tiling around the bar, it looks stunning and the entrance also has some superb mosaic work on the floor. The front bar is quite snug with just a few tables near the window on offer the left. To the right of the bar runs a long corridor with a snug off to the left which sorts of sits behind the bar, and further along the corridor (which has some lovely floor tiling) is another room off to the left which appears to host small gigs, posters along this corridor show previous and future acts. At the far end of the corridor is the toilets and a small garden/patio. I liked this place, it was lively, down to earth and well supported with good beer in great nick.
Strebs (221) St. Louis, Missouri | November 10, 2014
I visited this great old boozer on a Sunday afternoon before a bank holiday, and it was packed full of friendly folks enjoying the well maintained Robinson's range. A band was setting up in one of the back rooms, and I really wanted to stay, but couldn't. I'm glad to see that places like this are treasured by locals
nate2g (1290) Boomtown!, Australia | September 13, 2014
Nice old pub with a front bar and attached rooms with sofas and further seating. Cask ales are from regional breweries. Friendly folks behind the bar. Felt like mostly locals come here.
sic1314 (476) Leiden, Netherlands | March 9, 2013
A stylish, well restored old gem, but it does seem to be lacking a bit of the atmosphere it had 20 odd years ago. Probably me and not the place.
ManVsBeer (2039) Hebden Bridge, England | February 23, 2013| Updated April 22, 2016
A bar with plenty of traditional character. As you walk in the ale pumps that define this bar offer a good selection with a preference for Robinsons given it is their pub. Lager is available but the pumps for these are only on the very short side of the bar. Behind the front room a second but larger room to drink in is comfortable, as is the upstairs up. Along the corridor on the ground floor is the back patio that is a smokers paradise during peak times. Expect a large young to middle aged crowd at the weekends. Not cheap.
Boudicca (1231) London, England | September 2, 2012
A comfortable, relaxed place with a studenty and local feel. The Castle has an unassuming narrow tan-tiled frontage. Inside there's an attractive old fashioned tiled front to the bar and the rest of the pub, which seems to stretch a long way back from the street, has some nice original décor too. There are ten hand pumps, mainly Robinsons (but some of the less commonly seen ones) with a few guests alongside. There's also a range of bottles. The service was very friendly and welcoming as well as comically obliging. My eye was caught by a beer labelled "SWB Diabolo IPA" so I asked the rather camp (possibly French) barman where it was from. He rushed off to make enquiries and came back beaming happily. "It's from Yorkshire" he said. What more could I want to know? I felt very at home there and, although it was quite busy for a Monday evening, I found a comfortable place to sit in a corner by the window from which to survey the scene. (Visited 18 June 2012).

So this is that dreaded summer drought that we always hear about? Things are going to be very sparse for the next couple of weeks with the majority of releases coming in the form of digital titles. It will all be worth it though once the leaves start to change colors and the Holiday season begins; that is when things will get crazy and we will be wishing it was slow again.

Last month, chef Jason Neroni was named one of New York's "Rising Star Chefs," having cooked his way around the Big Apple at restaurants including The Essex House, Tabla, The Tasting Room, 71 Clinton and 10 Downing, at the latter two earning coveted 2-star ratings from The New York Times.
This month, he's the new executive chef at 3-year-old Blanca restaurant in Solana Beach.
So why would the highly regarded chef leave the nation's culinary capital for a small, family-owned restaurant nearly 3,000 miles away? The Orange County native became a new father three months ago, and he longed to return to his West Coast roots, where he and his wife can raise their son, Atticus, among family and friends. Some day, Neroni said he'd like to open his own restaurant on the West Coast, but for now, he's settling in at Blanca, which, in preparation for his arrival, has undergone a recent revamp.
Seth Baas ---- who co-owns the restaurant at 437 S. Highway 101 with his mother, Debbie Hugonin ---- said he closed Blanca for two weeks in September to refresh the interior, softening the "cold, sterile white" with warmer earth tones, rustic lanterns and new paint, wall coverings and decorations. Blanca reopened Oct. 8, and since then Neroni has been hyper-busy in the kitchen, testing and creating new dishes and developing a menu that he promises will change regularly.
Neroni, 33, who's temporarily commuting from a rented condo in Laguna Beach, said he chose Blanca for several reasons ---- including the vast supply of fresh produce from Chino Farms and other local vendors and the fact that it's a small, family-owned business. "I don't like big, corporate entities where you have to cook a certain way. Here I have a chance to experiment and try new things."
Also, San Diego's still-developing reputation as a culinary city makes it easier for Neroni to establish himself and "bring home all that I've learned around the world." In New York, Neroni was the subject of some bruising articles in the city's notoriously vicious food blogs, and he said he's eager to make a fresh start here and "have my food speak for itself."
"The French Laundry started out as a little nowhere and look at it now," Neroni said of the famed Napa Valley restaurant. "There's not much around here, but word of mouth will create a buzz. I want this to be a destination for drinking and eating. I consider this a relaunch and a re-envisioning of Blanca."
His food
Neroni said his style is more about farm-to-table and sustainable practices.
"My idea is that I'm not going to be working with products that I can't get fresh," he said. "And I'm not going to be going way out there with techniques. There won't be any liquid nitrogen and no eating with your eyes closed and hands tied behind your back. The food here is as serious as it can be."
He has started a charcuterie program and is whipping up frozen dishes (like avocado panna cotta and spicy yogurt sorbet), grilling figs, poaching fish, hand-forming gnocchi and designing multilayered pates. Neroni said he feels like a kid in a candy store with carte blanche to create, and he's excitedly "tweeting" his discoveries daily on his Twitter page. Neroni said he gets so many ideas he has a hard time sleeping at night, so diners should expect to see a lot of innovation on the menu.
Asked to describe his culinary style, he said he likes to mix flavors and textures.
"Food is like a song to me. Songs have melodies and harmonies; that's how I think of a dish ---- where is the heat, the crunch, the sweetness, the herbal. Each dish hits different notes. In my dishes, you'll find something salty, sweet, a little heat, something soft, something crunchy. Each ingredient will stand on its own, but melded together, it's an experience."
Among the dishes he's been cooking up lately at Blanca are Roasted Brussels Sprouts with slow (sous-vide) duck egg, dashi broth, lovage and garlic chips; Smoked Sunchoke Soup with house-made raisins, creme fraiche ravioli, crispy guanciale and celery leaf pistou; Butter-Braised Chicken Breast with crispy leg, girolles, melted butternut squash, minted petit onions and cocoa-scented jus; and Concord Grape Marmalade & Roasted Peanut Butter Ice Cream with toasted brioche squares (an upscale PB&J dessert).
Neroni's menu will be simple, with no more than six appetizers, six entrees and a rotating special every night.
His story
Neroni's cooking career started at age 17 at Disneyland, where he spent three years working his way up from the Blue Bayou to the theme park's members-only Club 33 restaurant. Skipping the culinary school route, Neroni learned at some of the state's top restaurants, including Chez Panisse in San Francisco and Spago Beverly Hills, where chef de cuisine Lee Hefter took Neroni under his wing. A year later, Hefter pushed him out of the nest, telling Neroni it was time to move to New York. Over the next couple of years, Neroni worked at some of the city's top eateries, including Le Cirque, Tabla (where chef Floyd Caroz taught him the "craft and technique" of spices) and Blue Hill (where chef Dan Barber taught him American country-style cuisine).
To learn classic French techniques from a master, he took a low-paying job at Alain Ducasse's Essex House and was working there when the 9/11 attacks occurred. The subsequent downturn shuttered the restaurant for a month, and when Neroni returned, he agreed to work for free for another month. His reward? The opportunity to train in Ducasse's restaurants in France.
Back in New York in 2004, Neroni began racking up rave reviews and star ratings as chef de cuisine at The Tasting Room and executive chef at the avant-garde eatery 71 Clinton, which lost its lease in 2006. After that, he was recruited to open an all-pork restaurant called Porchetta, but a falling-out with the restaurant's owners in 2008 resulted in a wave of spurious reports in the dining blogosphere.
Then two years ago, Neroni was recruited to open 10 Downing restaurant in West Village, where owners let him design the restaurant's $700,000 kitchen to his own specifications. "It was the greatest challenge of my life and I had a great time, top to bottom. I was sad to have to leave it."
Once again last month, the New York food blogs lit up, but only with comments by 10 Downing co-owner Stephane Dorian, who confirmed his amicable parting with Neroni so the young chef could move his family west. At first, Neroni said he considered Portland, but family and roots drew him back to Southern California in the end.
"I've been in the restaurant business for 16 years and I've moved around a lot. I left home at 19, and maybe I've had a bit of wanderlust. But when you have a child, it settles you."
Describe your best-ever food experience.
It was on Nov. 21,1998, at Po Restaurant in Manhattan. MarioBatali was in the kitchen that night and I had braised veal withgnocchi. I sat next to Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick.It was surreal.
What was your worst cooking disaster?
I was cooking on line at Tabla, deboning a pheasant, and I cut my left hand. I ended up getting 12 stitches in it, but I had to work the whole night first.
What kitchen utensil could you not live without?
I have an affinity for an offset spatula, a little pastry spatula that I use for so many things.
What utensil do you think is worthless?
What food do you fix at home?
When I was in New York, I liked to cook for my wife on Mondays. We'd go to Whole Foods and I'd cook a nice steak, roll out my own gargonelli pasta, make a big salad and have a nice bottle of wine.
What's always in your refrigerator?
Grapefruit juice, soy milk and Starnes barbecue sauce from Paducah, Ky. That's where my wife is from and it's the best barbecue sauce anywhere.
What do you think is an underappreciated ingredient?
Fresh herbs.
What do you think is an overused ingredient?
Is there an ingredient you absolutely hate?
Green bell peppers.
What's your favorite meal or food?
A nice bowl of pho (Vietnamese noodle soup).
Do you have a cooking philosophy?
My favorite is a line by Lee Hefter: "It's inspiring to be a good cook. To inspire is to be a great chef."
When you're not in the kitchen, what are your hobbies?
Used to ride my bike a lot. I'm missing that. I'm a huge movie buff and belong to a movie blog site.
What kind of movies do you like?
Well, I'm wearing a "Star Wars" belt buckle right now.

Ratings for Dr. Robert J. Warwar
First of all, after receiving the bill for 2 doctor visits I found out that they do not accept my "type" of insurance (individual) they only accept group policies. Knowing that at the time of my first visit would have been helpful! Now, having to take medication and take another blood test and another visit of $130.00, I have made 2 separate phone calls that have been ignored and not returned. In closing, they do not care about my situation and I now have to seek a new primary doctor. This has been a complete waste of time and money!!
Dr. Robert Warwar is awesome! He takes a genuine interest in his patients and is somebody I would recommend to anyone. I have the highest regard for him.
Dr. Warwar is an amazing, dedicated doctor. He always takes the time to explain his concerns and to answer any questions I may have about my illnesses or those of my children. He is very direct, but in a way that shows he truly cares about my health. My insurance doesn't fully cover Dr. Rob at 100%, but he is worth every penny I pay for my appointments given the peace of mind and reassurance he gives me about the health of my family. I have recommended Dr. Warwar to many friends and family and all who choose to become his patients are truly as impressed as I am by him and his caring staff.
I found Dr. Rob at the recommendation of my ob/gyn. I found him to be competent and caring, gradually all of my family started seeing him, now he even sees my grandchildren. He spends time to explain your condition & is not afraid to order blood work if you need it. The waiting time in his office sometimes can be as long as 90 minutes but that is rare, usually more like 40 mins so if your in a hurry don't make your appt mid morning or afternoon. Office staff is good and his nurse is wonderful. Dr. Rob and his staff get to know you on a personal basis and they are caring, which is the reason many don't mind the wait to see him. He will take his time with you and answer all your questions on your level of understanding. We Love Dr. Rob :o)
I adored Dr. Robert Warwar, and hope to get back with him someday. I had to switch to Kaiser, no comparison. He helped me through so many issues for which I am so grateful. His dianostic skills are beyond and above.
great doctor, office staff very polite and helpful sometimes a wait due to he has a lot of patients
My wife and I, our daughter and her family and our son and his family all us Dr. Warwar as our family health care provider and are all very happy under his care. My wife and I went to his dad, who also still practices, in the 70's and he delivered our 2 children. Due to a change in insurance providers, we had to leave his dad and were not happy about it. But, now we are back with Dr. Rob, back in the family, and are very pleased with his services.
He takes whatever time you need to explain your condition(s) so you fully understand your own options. He explains side effects of every prescription he writes. He is a sincerely, caring family physician.

The Heath City Council on Tuesday declined to renew Heath's curfew for children.
The Council voted 4-3 against another three-year update to the curfew. Mayor Lorne Liechty joined Mayor Pro Tem Justin Holland and members Barry Brooks and Brian Berry in opposition to a renewal.
Under the ordinance, now set to expire at the end of the year, children younger than 17 years old cannot be in a public place after midnight on weeknights and 1 a.m. on weekends. Violations carry a fine as high as $500.
The ordinance dates back to 2004 and was previously renewed in 2007 and 2010. Liechty said in an interview that the ordinance had minimal use.

Pittsburgh festivals celebrate the humble pierogi, unheralded pawpaw
Pittsburgh Pierogi Festival will be held in Kennywood Park while Carrie Furnaces in Swissvale will host the Pawpaw Fest.
In restaurants, noise has become a design feature, something restaurateurs are capturing, enhancing and filtering. They use noise in dining rooms as often as reclaimed wood or industrial materials. Unlike those static elements, noise is fluid as it shapes the mood of a dining room, creating an environment that can be inviting for some, alienating for others, but certainly cannot be ignored.
It didn't used to be this way, when white tablecloths at fancy restaurants were givens and French technique shaped haute cuisine.
Now, noise reinforces the raucousness of youth, especially attractive to many in Pittsburgh, which, until recently, had been known as home to more elderly folks than young professionals.
"I like it because it shows that people are having a good time," said Allie Contreras, bartender at Bar Marco in the Strip. In a former firehouse, the restaurant is small, yet cavernous ceilings and hard surfaces ensure it's often loud.
"Here, noise is warmth. It feels like home," Ms. Contreras said while working.
In some cases, noise transforms romance from ritualized to sexualized. Skip the three-course dinner and the formality. There's nothing like noise to force close talking and a pseudo-whisper into another's ear.
Cultivating noise is a nod to trends from other cities, where restaurant-bars moved playlists from inside the kitchen to the dining room with encouragement from chefs such as Mario Batali. This occurred en masse around 2008, when a Batali soundtrack included Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" and R.E.M.'s "Drive."
Inside noise can indicate the health of the business. Outside a restaurant, it can be a sign of a growing city. The rhythms of jackhammers, cars and trains are sounds of a vibrant economy.
Yet deafeningly loud dining rooms also can be damaging, especially to a restaurant worker who endures noise pollution day after day. Repeated exposure to noise above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss, says the National Institutes of Health. A phone app that measures sound decibels indicates that a person with perfect hearing can have a conversation in a dining room that is over 85 decibels. Many restaurants are more cacophonous.
Sleek minimalist designs have ushered in especially loud dining rooms, such as Verde Mexican Kitchen & Cantina in Garfield last year.
"When we first opened Verde, it was cement floors and floor-to-ceiling windows," said restaurateur Jeff Catalina. "We didn't know it until after we opened that there would be too much reverb." Shortly after opening, Mr. Catalina worked with Moss Architects to mute it by lining the ceiling with acoustic foam. This diminished the reverb without affecting the volume.
"You still want an energetic, lively atmosphere," he said. "The din of conversation and music and the sounds of cocktail shakers are a good thing."
When he opened Tender Bar & Kitchen in Lawrenceville in May, he said he transferred lessons from Verde. Fabric on banquettes, wallpaper and plush furniture helped mute noise without stifling the energy of the place.
Mr. Catalina also applied what he'd learned about music. "At Verde in the beginning, we only played Latin music," he said. "This became tiresome for employees and customers so we opened it up."
Over at Tender, period jazz rotates on a playlist that includes Jimi Hendrix and Frankie Valli. "Over there, it's an American playlist," he said.
As a frequent diner, I am surprised at how often noise is a substitute for conversation, encouraging people to talk to their phones rather than being present at the table. At one bar I noticed not a single patron was able to talk aloud over the music. So instead they talked with their hands, touching or texting.
Noise also can heighten anxiety as it can make basic social situations stressful. At a communal table on a Sunday this spring, I was seated with a group of people I'd just met. Shouting over the din made for a less than ideal way to get to know new people, especially when only every fourth word is audible. Even warm noise of a happy Sunday supper made it difficult to connect.
Some say noise makes people feel more a part of a scene or a community. And conversely, quiet restaurants make some diners feel alone, a scenario that's becoming a rarity with smartphones and social media.
"I don't like when it's quiet here," said Ms. Contreras. "It makes me feel uncomfortable." When patrons are in the restaurant, she said, quiet makes her feel like she's not doing her job well.
She's not the only one. "Silence equals death" isn't just a political statement but speaks to the fear quiet can conjure among those not used to it.
As noisy restaurants proliferate, perhaps quiet dining will eventually become something to cherish rather than avoid. Quiet would be luxurious -- as decadent as black truffles, as coveted as foie gras.
