Child crime figures
PUBLISHED: 12:09 10 September 2009 | UPDATED: 17:08 25 August 2010
MORE than a million children have been dragged though the judicial system since Labour swept to power.
MORE than a million children have been dragged though the judicial system since Labour swept to power.
Since New Labour's first landslide in 1997 1,033,454 children aged between ten and 17 have been convicted of a criminal offence, including nearly 30,000 ten to 12-year-olds.
The figures which go up to 2007 were obtained by the Liberal Democrats and reveal London has had a 26 per cent increase in child convictions, totalling 132,583 for the decade.
Of these 68 per cent were aged 16 or 17, 30 per cent were between 13 and 15 and 2,276 were aged just 10 to 12.
Bromley and Bexley London Assembly member and youth ambassador James Cleverly said he does not believe all the children in the criminal system are 'bad kids'.
The father-of-two said: "The idea of locking people away and just expecting them to turn themselves around is a bit naïve and at worst it is a real dereliction of duty. It is a terrible failure of the system."
Mr Cleverly claims one of the causes of the problem is the government's alleged undermining of headteachers' authority.
This month (September) Boris Johnson's policy comes into force whereby children who have had their free travel passes banned because of bad behaviour, can earn them back through community service.
Mr Cleverly said: "It is about punishing bad behaviour, not criminalising them. It is about teaching them repercussions and instilling that in them."
Meanwhile the Liberal Democrats propose tackling potential offenders before they enter the criminal justice system.
They want Community Justice Panels established to draw up Positive Behaviour Orders (PBOs), which require minor offenders to agree on a course of action to pay back the community they have wronged.
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said: "It is a disgrace the government spends eleven times more locking up our young people than it does on backing projects to stop them getting involved in crime in the first place.
"We need to see innovative approaches that ensure children make amends to their victims and put things right, rather than immediately criminalising them."
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice said: "Youth crime is unacceptable and can have a devastating effect on communities and young people themselves. We make no apology for tackling this head on."

And that is exactly what we can help you with. Tell us your intention.
Our services are also eligible for incentives.
You want solutions. You want ideas. You want more.
How can we accomplish … Is one of the most frequently asked question and one of the most important at the same time. And that is exactly where the successful und the less successful differentiate. They always ask themselves this question and improve themselves continuously. Our workshop's aim is exactly this. And before you take off to new places you have to determine where you are at the moment. The next fascinating question:
Which potential hides inside you and your team that is not in use?
What resources would you need to accomplish what you want?
How is the actual state and how could you design the change?
These and similar subjects are part of our workshops which are customized to your specific situation.

Ask any woman to try on a pair of jeans, and her reaction will probably look something like this: hope, then wariness, and finally dread. With the exception, perhaps, of lingerie, and unless you look like a model, jeans are the most difficult item of clothing to look and feel great in.
It's difficult for women who fit into traditional "misses" sizes, for whom most jeans are designed. It's even more so for women who wear plus sizes, typically size 14 through 32 or beyond. The plus size body is just like the misses body, only bigger.
Few women fit the hourglass format most designers have in mind, and plus size women have the same issues with proportions as their smaller counterparts. This is perhaps the greatest single obstacle to an easy time in the dressing room: When the waist, hips and thighs aren't in hourglass proportions, your average jeans, plus size or otherwise, just don't fit right. They're tight in the wrong places, loose in the wrong places and uncomfortable all over, and they can make a larger body seem larger, shorter and just plain less attractive than it really is.
Not too long ago, plus size clothing lines were few and far between -- a few specialty stores carried clothing not at all on trend, department stores had tiny "plus size" sections buried somewhere near the elevator, and no high-end designers went near the larger woman in their lines.
Now, you do a Google search for "plus size" and you find dozens of places to find clothes in sizes from 14 to 32, with some that go up to 44. "America's Next Top Model" has featured plus-size contestants. Designer Mark Fast sent plus-size models down the runway in couture during London's 2010 Fashion Week [source: Daily Mail]. Michael Kors has a plus-size line carried at major department stores like Macy's and Nordstrom. And plus-size jeans are available in the trendiest styles and as wide a fit range as misses-size jeans.
The days of elastic-waisted mom jeans as the only plus-size option are over. But that doesn't mean it's easy to find a great-fitting pair. In this article, we'll find out what makes jeans flattering for a plus-size woman, what makes a comfortable fit, and where to find the widest selections of larger-size denim.
So, when it comes to plus-size jeans, what exactly should we be looking for?

Smith & Tinker Raises Total of $29M, Looks to Merge Online Games with Collectible Toys
In one of the Seattle area's biggest tech financings this year, Bellevue, WA-based Smith & Tinker has raised a total of $29 million in venture funding to deliver and market a hybrid game for kids that bridges the online and offline worlds. The latest funding round was led by new investor DCM, based in Silicon Valley, with existing investors Vulcan Capital, Foundry Group, Alsop Louie Partners, and Leo Capital Holdings also participating. The amount of new funding, which closed in July, was not announced—the $29 million also includes seed and first-round funding raised by the company since its inception in 2007.
Earlier this month, Smith & Tinker launched its flagship game, Nanovor—sort of a cross between a collectible card game (like the original Pokemon) and a massively multiplayer online game, only different. I recently visited co-founders Jordan Weisman and Joe Lawandus at company headquarters (pictured above), to see the Nanovor game up-close and to talk about the 50-person company's intriguing strategy for marketing it in the U.S. and abroad.
"This is billed originally as a hybrid, across two $21 billion industries," says Weisman, Smith & Tinker's CEO. "It's targeted for ages 6-12. The idea is to merge their online lives with their face-to-face lives."
The industries he's referring to are video games and traditional toys—and their respective market sizes in the U.S. If anyone can penetrate and bridge those ultra-competitive worlds, it's probably Smith & Tinker. Weisman is a renowned entrepreneur in gaming, with a long record of founding successful companies including FASA, Virtual World Entertainment, WizKids, and 42 Entertainment. He came to Seattle when Microsoft bought FASA Interactive in 1999. Lawandus, for his part, was a former executive with Cranium, Disney, and Hasbro, so he knows a thing or two about product management, sales, and marketing for toys and games. Together, they seem to have their real and virtual bases covered.
"Our vision is something that takes the best of both of those worlds," says Lawandus, Smith & Tinker's president. "We're reinventing play for the connected generation. We believe there's nothing as cool to a kid as another kid in the room."
It's a noble concept, at a time when kids—and adults alike—seem to spend more time looking at screens than each other. Here's how it works, in a nutshell: On a website, you choose and create your Nanovor characters—bug-like creatures said to inhabit silicon chips, in the game's back story. From there, you can make them fight with other players' characters, choosing various attacks based on the health, speed, strength, and armor of your characters. You can also train them and make them evolve by solving logic puzzles that are similar to Mastermind. The goal is to keep evolving and adapting strategies, and, of course, to have the best battle record.
The face-to-face aspect comes into play with "Nanoscopes"—handheld players that you can use to battle someone in the room with you. These devices stick together using magnets when up to four characters at a time do battle, and the screens merge, so you can see a Nanovor scurrying from one handheld to another. "We started with the idea that it had to be wireless," Weisman says. "But wireless isn't magical to [kids], they grew up with wireless." Hence the merging-with-magnets action. (Nanoscopes will be sold for about $50, starting in October, in stores like Toys 'R' Us, Best Buy, and Amazon.com.)
Kids can also trade Nanovor characters, sort of like old-fashioned baseball cards. The creatures themselves were inspired by Weisman's own kids' first encounter with dust mites. "It was simultaneously the grossest and coolest thing they'd ever heard of," Weisman says. "We knew we wanted a battling monster game. We [also] wanted something rooted in our world."
Smith & Tinker's business model is fairly unique. The company plans to break even on retail goods like action figures, Nanoscopes, and other Nanovor tie-ins (see photo, left), and make its real money in online transactions. The game is free to start with, and then it transitions to a token-based micropayment system, where you pay for additional characters and skills. The strategy behind playing the game looks pretty sophisticated and challenging.
The company's latest venture round will help it launch a massive marketing campaign this fall, including YouTube videos, anime episodes, and TV ads. The money will also go towards ongoing product development. "The thing with an online game, it's unlike a packaged software title," Lawandus says. "It's about ever-fresh content, releasing new monsters, new animated episodes. We're in a couple of noisy markets, so we need disruptive marketing."
Today's announcement aside, I asked Weisman about the broader challenge of raising money in the gaming industry. "There doesn't seem to be a lot of 'venture' left in venture capital," Weisman said. "They view entertainment as hits-driven. They're more comfortable with services. A lot of VCs are uncomfortable in the entertainment-driven space."
But don't count DCM, or the rest of the Smith & Tinker syndicate, among them. What's more, DCM's expertise in Asia—the firm has offices in Tokyo and Beijing, and partner Gen Isayama splits his time between Japan and Silicon Valley—could also help Smith & Tinker expand to Asia in the coming years. This would be the opposite of most collectible card games, like Pokemon, which tend to start in Asia and migrate to the U.S.
Lawandus says the company won't be doing any "rampant hiring," but rather will fill out the team internally. Given the amount of money raised, I asked him whether Smith & Tinker could someday be a billion-dollar company. "We hope to be a very sizable company," Lawandus replied. "Hundreds of millions is what we're shooting for here."

Welcome to "A Jeff Lynne and Related Blog" following the latest works and releases by this musical craftsman. Feel free to follow along. Please note this blog is unofficial and intended for entertainment purposes only. Thanks and welcome aboard.
Saturday, June 29, 2013
Before we let June slip away, I thought it would be appropriate to note a landmark anniversary this month. While some of ELO's earlier works got the 30th Anniversary treatment, this particular anniversary will go by quietly.
It is the 30th anniversary of ELO's Secret Messages, an album that, for many reasons, remains at the top of many fan's favorites list... and a release of the original 2LP version remains at the top of most every fan's wish list. It was an album full of unique song ideas. The mythology behind its creation and subsequent cover artwork are about as layered as the sounds it featured.
During a mall visit in 1983, I spotted it in a record store bin... and my mom refused to buy it for me because I "already have too many records." People then watched as a 12-year-old broke into an epic shitfit. Those were the days.
Happy Anniversary, Secret Messages. Here's to hoping...

I too spotted it in the mall store record bin. I was 16, had a dish washing job, and thankfully could buy it on my own. No Mom there to tell me I had too many records. :-)
What memories. I had no clue the album was coming at the time so it was a total surprise when I found it. I still remember the all day anticipation of having to wait until I got home to put it on the turntable.

I was 21 at the time. I've heard on the Dutch radio there was a new double album coming out by ELO. What a disappointment it was that it turned out to be a single album. Another disappointment to me that it wasn't nearly as good as Time and I thought that ELO's haydays were over.
Through the years I have learned to appreciate Secret Messages more, but still I think it is not as strong as many others.
But, here we are! And still mentioning it and still listening to it, because it has Jeff Lynne's songs! (I love 'Stranger'!)

I tend to listen to the albums in chronological order these days and I find myself liking Secret Messages more and more. Fascinating to hear similar experiences to my own of not knowing there was a new album before you found it in the record shop; innocent times indeed...

Mom was certain that it wouldn't be out when I went to buy it a local mall that summer in 1983. Turns out I was the second person to get it and I remember the cashier telling two clerks what I purchased.
He turned to the other clerk who had a look of shock on his face. He thought it wasn't goiing to be sold.
That made me smile.

the day this album came out, i ran to the record could not contain my excitement..i had to read the sleeve notes there and then ...it had strange terms Oberheim DMX, Denis dog barking. Not since univox univibe on NWR had I been so perplexed. returns for Mik Kaminski (in a cameo role), Louis Clark.After i felt underwelmed, for me it never reached the continuity and songwriting levels of earlier albums. Since it had been cut to hell by record company execs it is hardly surprising I guess.
- July 16, 2013 at 6:42 PM
Hello Folks,
First of all, sorry for my English. I remember when Secret Messages was published and I remember I couldn't study my exams during that week because I was too nervous. When I finally listened to it I really enjoyed but I think Jeff Lynne never will do a production so brilliant as he did in Time.

Do you remember the mirror I had behind my desk?
I bought it at a garage sale for a dollar and loved the round shape, but not really the scrolls all around. For a long time, I had visions of collecting driftwood and making something similar to this one that west elm used to sell:
But I just didn't get around to it. Then, while browsing at Home Depot one day I saw a pile of awesome colored rope and decided that I would put rope round the mirror instead! I chose a pinky orange color that was flecked with yellow and black because I didn't want it to stand out too much.
I started by spray painting the edge of the mirror, since I wanted to start wrapping the rope where the scrolls started. The overspray scraped easily off the mirror.
Next, I just started hot glueing the rope tightly around the mirror until I covered all of the scroll.
I love the result, but I learned that it probably would have been easier with a thinner rope, because 'hiding' the start and finish were a little tricky with such thick rope. The whole mirror also feels a lot bigger, but I like the modern and industrial feel of it.
Anyone else been amazed at the cool colors ropes come in? Any fun projects going on? I am about to try my hand at macrame, since I am truly a child of the 70s.

Let the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon extend to TV.
The Golden Globe winner will star in Kevin Williamson's Fox drama pilot about a massive serial killer plot, TVGuide.com has learned. Bacon will play a retired FBI profiler who gets drawn in when a heinous serial killer uses technology to assemble a cult of serial killers. The news was first reported by Deadline.
Get the scoop on the latest pilot season news
But there's a catch: The season will be shorter. It looks as though the actor, 53, will only sign on for 15 episodes per season, which is significantly less than the usual 22.
Bacon hasn't had a regular series gig since Guiding Light in the '80s. He's directed a handful of episodes of his wife Kyra Sedgwick's TNT drama The Closer.
The as yet untitled serial killer drama will mark a return to more adult fare for Williamson, who wrote the Scream movie franchise and more recently co-created The CW's Vampire Diaries and Secret Circle. He wrote the pilot, which Marcos Siega will direct.

Shorter trastuzumab treatment feasible for HER2-positive early breast cancer
medwireNews: Reducing adjuvant treatment with trastuzumab from the current standard of 12 months to 6 months does not have a negative impact on disease-free survival (DFS) in women with HER2-positive early breast cancer, PERSEPHONE trial data show.
In addition, the shorter treatment duration was associated with fewer cardiac side effects, reported Helena Earl (University of Cambridge, UK) at a press conference for the ASCO Annual Meeting 2018 in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
The phase III study included 4088 patients, from 152 sites in the UK, with HER2-positive early breast cancer who were randomly assigned to receive 6 or 12 months of adjuvant treatment with trastuzumab. The majority (69%) of women were also estrogen receptor positive, and all received additional chemotherapy with an anthracycline, taxane, or both.
During a median follow-up period of 4.9 years, 512 (12.5%) women experienced disease progression or death.
The 4-year disease-free survival rate was similar between the two groups, at 89.4% for the women who received trastuzumab for 6 months and 89.8% for those who received it for 12 months. This gave a hazard ratio of 1.07, which was below the noninferiority threshold of 1.29, indicating that 6 months of treatment with trastuzumab is at least as effective as 12 months of treatment.
Moreover, the proportion of women stopping treatment due to cardiotoxicity was significantly lower in the 6-month group than the 12-month group, at 4% versus 8%, with cardiac function recovering significantly faster in the women who received the shorter duration of treatment.
Assessments of quality of life, patient experience, and heath economics are currently underway, Earl noted.
Discussing the findings in a press release, she said: "The PERSEPHONE trial's researchers worked closely with patient advocates. Everyone involved in this study is very excited by these results."
She added: "We are confident that this will mark the first steps towards a reduction of the duration of trastuzumab treatment to 6 months in many women with HER2-positive breast cancer."
Commenting on the study, ASCO president Bruce Johnson said: "The use of trastuzumab has been a major advance for women with HER2-positive breast cancer by increasing the cure rate, but no treatment is free of side effects, and heart damage has always been a concern with this treatment.
"This new trial shows that a shorter length of treatment can benefit patients just as much as a longer treatment, with less risk of cardiac side effects. This is a win-win for patients with breast cancer who are receiving this common treatment."

It's going to be another long night for Ron and Sue Mattia. The Byram Township couple slept fitfully on the sofa, tended the fire in their hearth and fed the generator gasoline to keep their sump pump going and the basement dry.
"We have to stay because we have to keep water from not flooding our basement," said Ron.
"We could be much worse off. We're fortunate to be staying dry," said Sue.
Down the street, another family's A-frame stands dark and empty, except for the cats. Rich Ecke and his family lost power six days ago, so they're staying at a nearby hotel.
"We toughed it out as long as we could, but it was getting too bad," he said. "There was just no power, no hot water."
Ecke says they did get power back for about 20 minutes Tuesday before it went out again. He's frustrated with JCP&L, which still has 400 to 500 customers in Byram without power since last Friday's nor'easter.
"After Sandy and the Halloween storm, you would hope they would have a better plan to deal with this kind of stuff? The communication has not been great. Obviously, infrastructure has not been great," he said.
A line crew from Michigan was parked alongside the road in Byram's Forest Lake section, a scene Byram officials called exasperating.
"We saw too much idle time in this event. Me, personally, I've been out on the street, the police chief's been out on the street, following crews around, working with them, and they've sat there idle for hours without doing anything until they got work orders from JCP&L," said Byram Township Administrator Joseph Sabatini.
"You walk up to them, and query what they're up to, and they're like, 'we're waiting for orders, we're waiting for this, we're waiting for that,' and they've been sitting there for hours. The centralized management of JCP&L is not necessarily aware of what's going on at the local levels," said Mayor Alex Rubenstein.
JCP&L has about 3,000 people working on restoring power, including 300 from PSE&G. As of Wednesday morning, it showed 24,500 outages remain, mostly in rural Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon and Morris Counties. Crews from Ohio Edison kept working despite the snowfall at midday.
Ryan Casteel, a lineman with Ohio Edison, says he has been out working for four days in 16-hour shifts. He says he will work "until we're done, as long as they need us."
"We have a lot of people running crews from Missouri and everyplace else out here trying to get your lights back on. But your trees aren't very helpful to us," said Ohio Edison relay tester Bob Hendrick. "Winds pick up, with the heavy snow on top, the weaker trees that didn't fall before will probably fall this time."
Folks without power can warm and power up at the municipal building's meeting room. Meanwhile, the Ecke family is staying in a hotel for the long haul.
"I've actually planned on being there through Thursday, and then extended the reservation through Sunday, because whatever date we're being told, I'm pretty much adding two or three days to that," said Rich.
So for the Ecke family, home will be a hotel until power's finally restored, whenever that is.

Although last Tuesday's mid-term elections saw the Demonrat Party gain majority control of the House of Representatives (225 to 197), a saving grace was that the GOP retained control of the Senate (52 to 46), and even gained at least another seat.
That means not only will President Trump not be impeached, he will have the Senate's support in his judicial nominations, including to the Supreme Court in addition to the two justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, in less than two years.
That is why the Left are terrified.
So bloodthirsty are they to preserve women's right to murder tiny, unborn human persons that Demonrats actually flocked to offer their ribs and other organs to SCOTUS justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who was rushed this morning to the George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C. after fracturing three ribs from a fall.
Hollyweirdo Alyssa Milano, 45, who exposed her sagging boobs in a low-cut blouse at the September 27 Kavanaugh Senate hearing, tweeted:
Ruth Bader Ginsberg can have my ribs. And my kidneys and a lung. And anything else she needs. She can even have my husband on Thursdays.
There were offers from other Demonrats:
Dear Justice Ginsberg, I am so happy to hear that you're going to serve until you're 90. If you need any organs during that time or any blood donations ( I am A+) I'm your girl.
— Suzanne Iorio (@Suzann1111) July 30, 2018
I would give Ruth Bader Ginsberg any of my vital organs at this point, before or after my death.
— Kathryn Nichols (@katnicho7608) July 30, 2018
I stand by my offer to donate any and all of my organs to Ruth Bater Ginsberg whenever she needs them

One Demonrat even offered to donate all of its organ to Ginsburgh even if it is still alive (note: I use the pronoun "it" to avoid being cisgender):
I have changed my organ donor status so that now all of my organs go to Ruth Bader Ginsberg EVEN IF I AM STILL ALIVE.
We need her now more than ever
I love you RBG.

Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in a statement:
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fell in her office at the Court last evening. She went home, but after experiencing discomfort overnight, went to George Washington University Hospital earlier this morning. Tests showed that she fractured three ribs on her left side and she was admitted for observation and treatment.
According to Breitbart, the extent of Ginsburg's injury was not clear at press time. Rib fractures are common among older adults, particularly after falls. The severity depends in part on whether the ribs are cracked or broken all the way through, and how many are broken.
85-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg had already had two bouts of cancer: colon cancer in 1999; pancreatic cancer in 2009. Cancer is prevalent in her family. (The Hill)
Another elderly Supreme Court justice is Stephen Breyer. Generally associated with liberals on the court, he is 80. Based on Centers for Disease Control life tables, the odds of Ginsburg and Breyer dying by 2021 are, respectively, 36.34% and 26.45%. (Source: Slate)
Then there's Justice Sonia Sotomayor, 64, who has Type-1 diabetes. In January 2018, she had a "health episode" stemming from her diabetes. Paramedics were called to her Washington, D.C. home to treated her for low blood-sugar symptoms.
According to a Scottish study published in the Jan. 6, 2015 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, people with type 1 diabetes have a lower life-expectancy, despite improved treatment of the disease and its complications. Men with type 1 diabetes lose about 11 years of life expectancy compared to men without the disease; women with type 1 diabetes have their lives cut short by about 13 years. (WebMD)
Meanwhile, yesterday Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said his "top priority" for the rest of the year and into the new Congress is filling the judiciary with President Trump's judicial nominees:
"The president, I think, has done an excellent job in picking young men and women who believe the job of the judge is to follow the law and we intend to keep confirming as many as we possibly can as long as we are in a position to do it. It'll still be my top priority in setting the agenda here in the Senate."
McConnell also said the Senate has been successful in making two Supreme Court appointments and 29 circuit judges, adding that, "we're not through doing those this year."
John G. Malcolm, vice president of the Institute for Constitutional Government and director of the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, said President Trump has appointed a record number of highly-qualified judges to the federal courts of appeal, and that his judicial appointments may well be the most enduring legacy of his administration.
According to Mark Taylor, the firefighter prophet who claims God speaks to him and had predicted the presidency of Donald John Trump on April 28, 2011, said Trump will get to appoint five Supreme Court justices during his tenure as president. On February 16, 2016, "Do Not Fear America," Taylor prophesied:
"The Spirit of God says, '5, that's right, 5 Supreme Court Justices will be appointed by my new president, my anointed. I will choose 5 through my anointed to keep those alive.
I will stack the court with those that I choose, to send a clear message to the enemy, that you lose! This is the miracle that I will perform, so that MY COURT will be reformed.'"

Since I'm the one writing this, THIS letter will be to ME from my handsome and romantic Prince.
My Darling Sooz:
While we just parted not but an hour ago, I am no longer able to contain myself. Your beauty possesses my every thought, and the necessity to express my love has overcome my Human senses. I am but a humble servant in your love dearest, you command my heart, and have been forever embedded within my soul.
Your smile radiates like the sun itself, sending me into a hypnotic state so deep, not even the depths of the Oceans could compare. You have forever changed my life.
I cherish all there is about you, the smile that could silence a million fold; those lips, red as Rubies, and luscious as the day is long, your eyes, Green as Summer grass after being kissed by the morning dew, and fiery red locks that sets off a beauty possessed only by a goddess.
Saying I long to caress your velvet skin and kiss those silky lips doesn't does NOT my rhetoric justice. I NEED to engulf you, I LUST for thy sweet countenance. Deny me not my love, for your love is like my bread of Life. I must possess it daily to satisfy my heart's desire, and my body's hunger.
Be gentle with me my love, I am but a man, a man who has lost his will to live without your attentiveness. Know that I love you beyond the stars, and that I patiently await for the time our souls may touch.
Your humble and loving servant,
Prince Charming

Looking more like a nightclub than a restaurant, Hisshou Teppanyaki is one of Sydney's few teppanyaki hotspots. With red lights and numerous flat screens on the walls showing music videos, the stage is set for your rockstar teppanyaki chef to entertain you.
The surprisingly long cocktail list will help you get into the spirit(s) of the place. The Honey Ginger Canadian ($17) is quite drinkable. This cocktail combines Canadian Club Whisky with ginger, bitters and honey, then lengthens it with soda water.
We hit up the cheapest Hibi Banquet ($49/head) and are quickly introduced to our chef for the evening – Wayne.
While we get stuck into individual portions of sesame salad and miso soup, Wayne starts us off on a rapid succession of dishes, beginning with king-prawn topped perch. (Disappointingly, here, the prawn legs and heads were thrown away.)
After we're soothed with some reasonable teriyaki chicken, eating becomes punctuated with games involving diners catching raw eggs and bowls of fried rice. As much of it hits the floor or is worn by over-confident catchers, this would be an entertaining place to bring your boss and work colleagues.
After the carnage - that the poor waitresses mop up - Wayne fashions what's left of the raw eggs into an omelette, and then creates fried rice.
Unsurprisingly Hisshou also seems to be an awkward Tinder date hotspot with heterosexual couples silently filing in, both seemingly wondering how soon it is appropriate to fake a friend calling with a dire emergency.
The engaged chefs do their best to ensure everyone's evening takes a turn for the better, by flinging out bowls of fried rice.
The theatrical stunt cooking continues into misoyaki tenderloin steak that is flamed with a giant fireball after guests are sensibly told to move back from the grill.
Interestingly I thought the iron-rich hunks of steak could have done with more char. The meal is rounded out with teppan veggies, and a skillful upside down message written in salt by your chef. While it is not going to win any awards for the cooking, the combination of stunt food, the cocktail list and the nightclub atmosphere, make it a hit with for awkward first dates.

Jer. 29:11 You may feel you are facing an impossible situation, but the bible says, "God… is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of, infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires thoughts, or hopes." Eph. 3:20 Celebrate A New Life is a culmination of two highly-effective Christ centered Drug and Alcohol Treatment "Celebrate Recovery" is a ministry of Saddleback Church, where Pastor and Purpose Driven author Rick Warren leads our weekly Worship services.

The Best of Everything is Getting Well.
Individuals requiring medical or psychiatric attention can also find what they need with dual diagnosis and other therapeutic programs. We encourage family members and loved ones to take part in the recovery process and support the individual. We are here to help and our attitude is one of whatever it takes.
Residential treatment is a safe environment in which addicts and alcoholics can identify issues that lead them back to self-destructive behaviors and learn how to define and deal with these issues. We have a serious interest in helping find the root causes behind drug addiction and alcoholism. We provide treatment for people suffering from issues such as manic depression, depression, anxiety and other neurosis.
Our residential programs are usually in between four and twelve weeks depending on the individual's needs. Hope by the Sea's beachside location provides the perfect atmosphere for individuals to get away from the daily struggles of life. We hope that if you or someone you love is struggling with drugs or alcohol you know that help is just a call away. And if your loved one is still a little skeptical or in denial or even outright defiant, don't throw in the towel. Our Certified Interventionist are the best in the nation, with a 95-97% success rate. Meaning, the client enters treatment the very same day that the intervention takes place.
Interventions are performed when a person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol is unable to admit that he/she has a problem. Family members and friends can do often non-professional interventions, but if there is a serious problem with drugs and alcohol, more than just love and support are needed. Hope by the Sea offers highly successful interventions performed by a trained professional interventionist. In recent years interventions have become more and more popular because when coupled with a drug or alcohol treatment program after, long-term sobriety and a whole New Life become reality. The process of an intervention begins with a phone call or email from a loved one of a substance abuser to a consultant at Hope by the Sea. The interventionist will ask a series of questions and discuss the best way to approach the suffering individual. There are times at which addicts and alcoholics are not able to stop using or think they do not want to stop, but when presented by a professional interventionist, along with family and friends that have real concerns and want to help, being supportive, clarity in a loving structured format brings about the desired results. The interventionist Bobby Nicholl contacts the family or friends who are to be involved in the intervention and finds out more information about the exact situation. Drugs and alcohol have the ability to tear families apart and ruin friendships, so interventions are one solution for people who are unable to stand by and just do nothing. More often than not, the only wrong thing to do, is doing nothing. Before the actual intervention, the people that are going to be involved in the intervention meet to discuss how the intervention will work. Together a time and safe place is chosen and at times is a surprise to the person needing help. The interventionist mediates the interaction, but family and loved ones usually facilitate the conversation. Although the individual might feel angry, betrayed or a number of other uncomfortable feelings, it is much better to stop the suffering before it gets any worse. Successful professional interventionist, upon request accompany the individual to the treatment program and through the intake/admissions process. Stop the Hurt-begin to Heal. It all starts with the first phone call. Intake Counselors are available 24/7 Call Today! Toll Free (800) 708-3173 We're here to Help!

What are the Symptoms of Pregnancy Gingivitis?
Since we have mentioned that pregnancy gingivitis looks quite similar to common gingivitis, what exactly are the symptoms?
Since you are pregnant, you've got a lot of things going on so stuff about your oral health may not be at your top-of-mind. But since you are more prone to having gingivitis during pregnancy, it is important for you to also take care of your teeth and gums healthy.
Here are the key signs and symptoms that you should be aware of to gingivitis:
- Bleeding gums
- Swollen gums
- Irritable gums
- Sensitive gums
- Red swollen gums that bleed when you are brushing
You could wait for the infection to get well naturally by not using any products, but since you are pregnant, you should always keep yourself healthy for the sake of your growing baby in your stomach.
Pregnancy gingivitis could lead to a more serious gum disease called periodontitis, which could increase your chances of having a preterm birth. Therefore, it's important to always keep good oral hygiene, and use oral treatments as soon as possible when you've acquired oral infections.
A good dental care is important during pregnancy, you should brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once a day. And if you prefer using mouthwash to treat your pregnancy gingivitis, then make sure the product is suitable for your condition like the products listed above.

While lawmakers worked away the afternoon in the state Capitol, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan stopped by Tallahassee Community College to tout the importance of workforce education.
The town hall meeting took place one day after President Barack Obama delivered the State of the Union address and called upon community colleges to become community career centers.
Obama described the next generation of community colleges "as places that teach people skills that local businesses are looking for right now, from data management to high-tech manufacturing."
Duncan echoed the sentiment, saying community colleges are "uniquely position to help people get the skills they need" for high-tech, high-skilled and high-paying jobs.
He praised TCC's Center for Workforce Development for partnering with local employers. "TCC leads to real jobs in the community," Duncan said.
Duncan fielded questions on a variety of topics, ranging from the federal Race to the Top competition to teacher pay.
On that subject, Duncan said he envisions first-year teachers making $60,000 –- and the best and brightest drawing salaries in excess of $150,000.
He would also like to see financial incentives for teachers who take jobs in struggling schools –- or who teach high-demand subjects like math and science.
"We've been doing the wrong thing by teachers and the education profession for so long," he said.
Some participants in the town hall meeting spoke up against the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Tests, saying the exams discourage teachers from being creative and students from thinking critically.
Duncan said assessments ought to be viewed as safety nets, not weapons. But he conceded that exams "need to be meaningful" to be useful.

Career highlights and awards
Rex Edward Barney (December 19, 1924 – August 12, 1997) was a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943 and from 1946 through 1950.
As a teenage phenom, Barney was signed by the Dodgers at the age of 18, in 1943. He pitched 45 innings that year.
Barney returned to the majors in 1946. He was one of the hardest throwers in the league but struggled with wildness early in his career. In 1948, however, he gained control of his fastball and had his greatest season; he won 15 games and finished second in the National League with 138 strikeouts. The highlight was hurling a no-hitter against the New York Giants on September 9. He had to sit through a one-hour rain delay and showers in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings to finish the game. The next season, Barney pitched semi-effectively while suffering lingering effects from a leg injury suffered while sliding into second base.
Barney appeared in 3 games in the 1947 World Series - starting and losing game five - against the New York Yankees. He got knocked out early in his 1949 World Series start, also against the New York Yankees, after just 2 2/3 innings. In 1950, he walked 48 batters in just 33 innings and never played in the majors again. He ended his career with a 35-31 record and a 4.31 earned run average.
After his retirement as a player, Barney briefly worked as a broadcaster, calling games for Mutual radio in 1958. That same year he also teamed with Al Helfer to call several Philadelphia Phillies games on New York station WOR-TV, helping to fill that city's void of National League baseball following the departure of the Dodgers and Giants to the West Coast.[1]

PA announcer
Rex Barney was the PA announcer for the Baltimore Orioles from 1974 until his death in 1997. He was famous for often using the phrase "Give that fan a contract!" when a fan snared a foul ball on the fly. However, if the fan misplayed the ball, Barney would intone, "Give that fan... an error!" This was an expansion on the old radio and TV announcers' comment, "Sign him up!" He would also announce after every game, "Thank youuuuu."
Barney's famous "Thank youuuuu" were the last words to come over the PA system at Memorial Stadium after the Orioles' last game there on October 6, 1991. Barney was in the hospital at the time, and the message was recorded from there and played over the PA system to end the Orioles' tenancy.
Barney co-authored (with Norman L. Macht) two books about his life in baseball, "Rex Barney's Thank Youuuu for 50 Years of Baseball" and "Orioles Memories: 1969-1994." He had become famous as an announcer, but to the end of his life, Barney always regretted his failure to last as a major league pitcher:
Believe me, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about what I could and should have been. It still hurts. –Barney in 1992
Rex Barney died on August 12, 1997. In tribute to him, the Orioles game that day was held without a public address announcer.[1]

'Man-bunned' menace arrested at Donald Trump rally, jailed, interrogated... twice
Sam Spadino drove to Rochester last Thursday and waited around for two hours to see President Donald Trump speak, just like everybody else in the Mayo Civic Center.
He held a "Keep America Great" sign and a hat with a hunter orange bill.
Did he have mischief on his mind? Absolutely -- albeit nothing rowdier than a little free speech. The last time Trump showed his face in Minnesota, Spadino got himself kicked out of the president's Duluth rally and earned a nickname: "man-bunned protester." (Trump wondered aloud from the stage whether Spadino was male or female.) What the nickname lacks in cleverness, it makes up in accuracy.
But Spadino hadn't even done any man-bunned protesting in Rochester when a stranger in a suit put his hand on his hands on him and told him, "let's go."
"I didn't know why they were trying to kick me out," he says. He couldn't imagine what the people standing around him must have been thinking -- he says everything happened pretty fast after the man in the suit started to lead him toward the exit.
That was when he started yelling the word "Dad!"
Over and over again.
"It was just sort of a last-minute way to draw some attention to myself," he says. He didn't expect to be arrested for it.
Which is what happened.
He says police officers twisted his arm, then slammed him up against a door once he was out of public view and kicked him in the thigh repeatedly, telling him to "stop resisting" as they cuffed him. (Spadino says he wasn't resisting).
He asked why he was being arrested, and at the time, they said "trespassing." What ended up in the police report, in the address from the state prosecutor to the judge, and all over the news was that he'd been arrested for yelling the word "Dad!" at the president of the United States.
"It's honestly hard to imagine a scenario where you would EVER arrest someone for: Repeatedly. Yelling. Dad," Spadino wrote in a letter to City Pages prior to our interview.
Spadino was hauled off to jail, charged with four misdemeanors (obstructing the legal process, trespassing, and two counts of disorderly conduct) and, to his surprise and dismay, booked for an overnight stay. He was strip searched.
"They had to take pictures of my Bernie Sanders bird tattoo on my thigh," he wrote in his letter to City Pages, "and another unrelated but equally bizarre tattoo on my crotch. That wasn't fun for anyone."
Around 5 a.m.,the next day, Spadino says, a Secret Service agent stopped by to speak with him, saying someone had "told them a story," as Spadino puts it. That he was "some sort of threat." (The Secret Service declined interview requests, and said they could not "confirm or deny" whether Spadino's the incident was still under investigation.)
Spadino is an activist and a comedian. He's quick to draw a crowd's eye or make light of a bad situation. He admits this one-on-one scared him. He didn't even know what he'd done to get kicked out, let alone arrested and questioned by a federal agent. He told the agent he wouldn't answer any questions. To talk to his lawyer.
Spadino suspects it was the Secret Service who wanted him held overnight, so they could dig through his (prolific) social media accounts "for clues to help ... solve the 'great dad mystery.'"
According to the Winona Daily News, nine other people besides Spadino were kicked out of the Civic Center, but he was the only one criminally charged.
Things have calmed down a little since his release. He has a hefty load of legal bills to look forward to as he fights his misdemeanor charges, which his friends have offered to help with.
Then Spadino's lawyer told him the Secret Service was back in touch, and calling him in for another meeeting. What was it this time?
"They claimed a person had told them that I was talking to myself in the crowd," Spadino says.
This accuser Spadino seemed unstable, or a little dangerous, according to Spadino. Spadino had headphones in at the rally, and he says he wasn't really talking to anyone. He was planning to protest like he had in Duluth -- nothing more.
"The Secret Service said they don't care about protesting, and that it wasn't them who ejected me from the rally," Spadino says. So what happened, he wonders? Had somebody in the crowd recognized him and invented a line to make him sound threatening?
Will that person have to face any consequences? Unlikely.
In his letter to City Pages, Spadino expressed sympathy for the Secret Service. "I know you're confused, but honestly so am I, because last time I checked you swore an oath to 'support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.'"
Trump, with his ties to Russian oligarchs and his evident disregard for American law on taxes, business regulations, and sexual assault, hardly fits the bill.
Spadino isn't done poking the bear. As far as he's concerned, all this is good fodder for a documentary. Maybe he'll even run for president, he said. As a joke. "Like [Trump] did."

Fragile and valuable items
Prior to moving day make a plan for those items you plan to discard or donate.
Always move jewelry and cash yourself. Also, don't forget a bag that can satisfy your immediate needs during the move: clothes, toiletries, phone, keys, important papers.
When packing fragile items, there is never too much bubble wrap or newspaper. It is better to be over cautious. Linens and towels can also provide extra protection to fragile items.
Packing tips
Start by assessing how much packing materials you will need for your move; be sure to tape your boxes on both the top and bottom.
Group your items into "like" categories. It is easier when unpacking.
Clearly label all your boxes and bins based on the content inside. Be sure to label is something is fragile! You can color code your boxes by room if needed using colored tape and stickers.
Don't forget about your fridge and it's perishables. Keep coolers handy for when the freezer and fridge need to be emptied on moving day.
Keep somethings out for cleaning after the move. It is a smart idea to gather all cleaning supplies under the sink so it can be one of the last things loaded and not misplaced.
As far as electronics and appliances – be sure to disconnect all before your movers come.
If you live in an apartment or house with minimal parking be sure to save space for the moving van. Speak with your landlord or complex about blocking a parking spot off or do so yourself with your car overnight.
