Unless your workspace is as clean and brightly-lit as an operating room, some things can be hard to see. Maybe the hardest to see is that thin sliver of space between your rotor and your pads. When adjusting your caliper and straightening your rotor, tolerances are tight. Our simplest Bike Hack yet uses a white sheet of paper to add the contrast you need to see where you're rubbing. Just set the paper on the floor with your caliper in the line of sight, and you'll see the light. Correct, we're telling you to follow the light. Not really, but the Bike Hack sure helps.

Paul Bloom, Yale University
Friday, November 30th
Room: Oak 117
The Cognitive Science Colloquium Series is proud to present Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at Yale University.
Dr Epstein will provide a talk entitled "Pleasures of Suffering".
People are hedonists, seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. This view is central to much of psychology and it fits many people's own sense of why they do what they do. But what about our appetites for spicy foods, hot baths, horror movies, sad songs, BDSM, and hate reading? It runs out that people often seek out pain and suffering—in pursuits such as art, ritual, sex, and sports, and in longer-term projects, such as training for a marathon or signing up to go to war. Drawing on research from developmental psychology, anthropology, and behavioral economics, I suggest that these seemingly paradoxical choices show that we are driven by non-hedonistic goals; we revel in difficult practice, we aspire towards moral goodness, and we seek out meaningful lives.

Dr. Cristine Legare, University of Texas at Austin
Friday, October 19th
Room: Oak 109
The Cognitive Science Colloquium Series is proud to present Dr. Cristine H. Legare, Associate Professor of Psychology from University of Texas at Austin.
Dr Epstein will provide a talk entitled "The Evolution and Ontogeny of Ritual".
Convergent developments across social scientific disciplines provide evidence that ritual is a psychologically prepared, culturally inherited, behavioral trademark of our species. I will draw upon the anthropological and evolutionary science literatures to provide a psychological account of the social functions of ritual in group behavior. Solving the adaptive problems associated with group living requires psychological mechanisms for identifying group members, ensuring their commitment to the group, facilitating cooperation with their coalition, and maintaining group cohesion. I will review evidence that the threat of social exclusion and loss of status motivates engagement in ritual throughout development and provide an account of the ontogeny of ritual cognition. The intersection of these lines of inquiry promises to provide new avenues for theory and research on the evolution and ontogeny of social group cognition.

Will Gervais, University of Kentucky
Friday, March 23
Room: Oak 109
Will Gervais, Assistant Professor of Psychology at University of Kentucky will give a lecture on:
"Moral distrust of atheists, and how it screws up basic theory on the psychology of religion"
The majority of people on earth view religious belief as a necessary component of morality, leading to moral distrust of atheists. To paraphrase Dostoevsky, without belief in gods, isn't everything permitted? Gervais will present studies exploring the degree to which people intuitively view atheists as capable of committing various heinous and immoral actions. Indeed, across 13 countries on five continents, people—even atheists themselves—view moral depravity as representative of atheists. Extreme moral prejudice against atheists may skew data essential to theorizing about religion, as basic theory requires accurate assessment of the prevalence of both religious belief and disbelief. Yet, existing large-scale polls typically require individuals to verbally disclose their atheism to strangers over the phone. Indirect measurements indicate that atheism is far more prevalent than previously assumed, suggesting that many promising theories of religious cognition may be in need of heavy revision, if not abandonment.
Barbara Landau, Johns Hopkins University
Friday, October 6
Room: Oak 109
Barbara Landau, Professor of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins will give a lecture on:
Origins and development of spatial language: Some complexities
The acquisition of spatial language has historically provided a fertile test-bed for theories of language-thought relationships. Does spatial language emerge driven by pre-linguistic spatial concepts, or does it emerge strictly as a function of the linguistic input provided in the environment? In this talk, I'll consider challenges to both of these positions, focusing on the challenge of accounting for the linguistic combinatorics that are inherent in spatial language. Acknowledging the complexities of the mapping between spatial language and underlying concepts forces us to abandon simplistic hypotheses and to think about learning in new and more subtle ways.
David Rand, Yale University
Friday, November 3
Room: Oak 109
David Rand, Associate Professor of Psychology, Economics, Cognitive Science and Management at Yale University will present a lecture on:
The cognitive science of fake news
Click here for a recording of this 11/3/17 lecture.
Blurb: Why do people believe patently false news headlines, and what can be done to undermine belief in "fake news"? In this talk I will describe a number of recent findings from my collaboration with Gord Pennycook exploring these issues. For example, what is the role of rational deliberation in belief in fake news? Many have argued that people use rationalization to convince themselves of the truth of stories which fit their political worldview (a form of "motivated reasoning" or "cultural cognition"). On the contrary, in a recent set of studies, we found that people who engaged in more deliberative thinking were better at discerning fake from real news, even for headlines that aligned with their political ideology - suggesting that low-level cognitive processes motivate belief in fake news, and deliberation can override such automatic responses. Illustrating one such automatic process - a fluency heuristic - another set of studies we ran showed that just reading a fake news headline made people subsequently more likely to believe it - even if the headline was flagged as "Disputed by 3rd party fact-checkers," ran counter to the subject's political orientation, or was not even explicitly remembered by the subject. In a third set of studies, we have also examined the impact of Disputed warnings more generally, and found an "implied truth" effect - if only some fake stories are tagged with a warning, it increases the perceived accuracy of fake stories without warnings. This is worrying, given that it is much easier to produce fake news than to fact check it (such that only a small subset of all fake news stories will ever be successfully tagged with warnings). Furthermore, this implied truth effect was largest among two sub-populations particularly vulnerable to fake news: Trump supporters and young people. This paper also found that, surprisingly, increasing the salience of headlines' sources by showing the publisher's logo in a banner beneath each headline had no impact on perceptions of accuracy. We hope that the results of these studies, as well as others I will discuss, will help guide policy makers in their efforts to reduce belief in blatantly false information.
Philip Corlett, Yale University
Friday, December 1
Room: Oak 109
Phil Corlett, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University will present a lecture on:
Psychosis as a window on perception and belief
Psychosis has many causes but is generally defined in terms of conscious experiences of the world, and of oneself, that deviate appreciably from consensual reality. It may be useful to break it down into its component symptoms of anomalous perceptions ("hallucinations") and bizarre and inexplicable beliefs ("delusions"). A major challenge in developing a comprehensive and coherent understanding of psychosis is to characterize the nature of disturbances that may give rise both to a profoundly altered experience and understanding of the world and to an impairment in one's capacity to sample and use evidence in order to optimize inferences. I will argue that these symptoms both entail devising a world model that accounts for one's reality. I will explore the degree to which developing our understanding of the brain as a predictive inference device can provide a powerful explanatory framework within which to understand the disruptions in conscious experience of the world that characterize psychosis, from fundamental and pervasive perturbations in interoception, exteroception, self perception to wider disruptions in how one infers the contents of other minds. Moreover, by refining our understanding of how these disturbances may occur, we gain valuable insights to how the brain generates our experiences more generally.

Walmart Stores, the world's largest retailer and the nation's largest private employer, said on Tuesday that it would terminate health insurance coverage for about 30,000 part-time workers, joining a string of retailers that have rolled back benefits in response to the Affordable Care Act.
Starting on Jan. 1, Walmart will no longer offer insurance to employees working less than an average of 30 hours a week, a move the retailer said was in response to an unexpected rise in health care costs.
"This year, the expenses were significant and led us to make some tough decisions," Sally Welborn, Walmart's senior vice president for global benefits, said in a blog post announcing the changes.

Today my nephew would have been 18. If he did not end his own life almost two years ago.
Emilis came to me in a dream the night it happened and seemed to be really sad and depressed. We went for a walk in the early hours of the morning near a huge lake surrounded by thick fog. He wanted to cross a bridge over the lake even though all we could see in the distance was even more grey heavy fog. I was reassuring him that things will work out, that everything will change and that there's so much I'd like to teach him about life and asked him to skype me so we would talk when I had more time.
Despite my efforts to convince the boy not to cross the bridge words seemed to escape him as he had already made up his mind. He briefly glanced at me and walked into the fog while keeping his gaze down. I don't remember the rest of the dream, but I remember the sound of an early morning text message. It was from my mum and read something like this, 'Sad news – Emilis killed himself at night'. In flood of tears I instantly recalled the dream which now held so much meaning – he came to say goodbye.
It was his choice – he could not handle life on earth anymore and decided to cross over. Who am I to question, blame others, the environment or even wonder what could have been? He's gone. While I'm sure that if anyone had suspected what was about to happen we would have done our best to save him, this makes me question: how much control do we really have over someone else's life?
What struck me though was the fact that when he came to me so visibly distressed, after uttering a few words of comfort I asked him to skype me LATER when I have MORE TIME. Even though it happened in the dream state, the reality is that a lot of us can relate to this at some point in time. And I am not even talking here about not doing something here and now for our loved ones, but the fact that we postpone what really matters to us until 'LATER, WHEN I HAVE MORE TIME'.
The truth is that life may pass you by and there will be no time left to do what truly counts. So if you're waiting for when you're ready, just know that every single second of your time on earth is precious. Also know that someone who's alive today may not be here tomorrow. Ask yourself, 'if such and such died tomorrow what would I want them to know?' and you will have some pretty good guidance to do what needs to be done. More often than not, things left unsaid carry heavy weight and when expressed they will set you free. Having said that, remember that words have energy and they can equally lift someone up or destroy them so choose what you say wisely, from the heart, and most importantly – be true to yourself.

Basking Shark moving very slowly north 08.30-10.30.
I decided I would try one last time seawatching off the coast of Blackpool to see if I could add to the list of great birds Katia has brought me. I wasn't disappointed!
Arriving at 07.45, I understand I had just missed an adult Pomarine Skua which would have been nice!
The first decent bird I saw flew south at 08.46 in the form of an adult Sabine's Gull...superb! This is something I have always wanted to find for myself and be able to scan the open sea and discover that unmistakeable wing pattern!
)8.52 and I got my first views of a Leach's Storm-petrel making its way slowly south which was in view for approx. 3 minutes and I loved every moment of it! Storm-petrels really are wonderful things!
At 09.05, I spotted a very similar wing pattern in my scope to the first bird and there in front of me, was a delightful juvenile Sabine's Gull heading south too! What a start!
The watching became pretty difficult thereafter until 09.45 when a 2nd Leach's appeared in my scope just in front of North Pier. I decided to try and get a photo of this one by running to the edge of the incoming tide and hoping it would be visable for a record shot...sadly, it was very low and appeared only a couple of times above the surf. In the process, I almost stranded myself on the very fast moving incoming tide which was surrounding me in all directions!
Apart from the avian highlights, I picked up a large animal 100 meters in front of North Pier which I instantly thought was a whale. It took about 2 hours to make its way north out of view, so I had a very long time in which to observe this beast and attempt to photograph/ID it. Throughout the whole time I was watching it, I was saying to myself that it wasn't a Basking Shark as it just didn't seem to scream Basking which is what I would have expected. I really did think it was a small whale (maybe a Pilot or something). After much deliberation, and cross referencing Google images and my montage above, I have come to the conclusion that I saw my first ever Basking Shark (and in Lancashire too!)
A great mornings seawatch and and lovely finally to 3 days of being blown about the Blackpool coastline! Highlights being Sooty Shearwater, 3 Sabine's Gull (inc. Heysham's bird), 2 Grey Phalarope, 2 Leach's Storm-petrel and a Basking Shark...Not at all bad!

After its launch in the early 1980s, Holga cameras became popular options for people looking to shoot medium format 120 film on the cheap.
Production was shut down in late 2015, but now the camera is making a comeback: the classic Holga 120N is coming back this year.
Originally introduced to the Chinese public as a cheap everyday camera, the Holga was quickly embraced by photographers who loved
the lo-fi look it produced. (petapixel)

A 76-year-old man from Urmston was jailed for five years and one month at Minshull Street Crown Court on June 5.
Gary Strickland pleaded guilty to two counts of child abduction, two counts of taking an indecent image of a child and facilitating or arranging the commission of a child sex offence.
On 18 December 2015, police received a report of concerns for a 14-year-old girl who was found at Strickland's house, where he was served with an abduction notice for his behaviour.
When the girl was reported missing a year later in July 2016, police found her at the 74-year-old's house.
Officers were understandably concerned and found that Strickland had sent a number of messages to the victim between 1 July and 1 October 2016. The messages from Strickland were persistent, asking the girl to visit him at his address and using highly sexualized language.
The girl told officers that she knew Strickland from another girl, aged 12. The 74-year-old would pick both of them up in his car and offer them alcohol and cigarettes. He would then ask them to behave inappropriately with each other, and take indecent photographs of them.
Strickland was arrested on suspicion of two counts of sexual activity with a child and later pleaded guilty.
Detective Constable Scott Britton, of GMP's Trafford Phoenix Sexual Exploitation Team, said: "Strickland manipulated these young girls in a horrific way that will never leave them, I can't even begin to imagine how they must have felt.
"He befriended them and spent months building their trust in order to get these young girls, to behave in a way that he wanted, despite knowing how wrong it was.
"I hope today's sentence demonstrates our continued commitment to seeking out and getting justice for victims of child sexual exploitation."
Phoenix is the team that tackles child sexual exploitation and related harm in the Borough of Trafford.
The team includes professionals from the police, children's social care, health and Early Break.
They provide a safe and confidential environment where young people can go for help, advice and support.

Who is Walter Hälg?
Walter Hälg, the pioneer of reactor technology and neutron scattering in Switzerland, passed away peacefully on December 28, 2011 at the age of 94. He was well known to the world wide neutron scattering community through his generous sponsorship of the Walter Hälg Prize which has been awarded biennially to distinguished scientists by the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA) since 1999.
Born in Basel in 1917, citizen of Basel, Switzerland, he was one of the pioneers in this area of science, and worked on it supported by his large knowledge in science. Experimental physics, theoretical physics, chemistry, and mathematics were the four fields that took up his student time at the Basel University where in 1943 he received his PhD in molecular physics. From 1943 to 1946 he worked in particle physics at the Physical Institute of the University of Basel and on the construction of a 1 MeV Cockroft-Walton accelerator. He spent the years 1946-1960 at the AG Brown Boveri Co Baden (BBC), predecessor of the current ABB, and was promoted head of the physics department in 1953. During his time at BBC, he worked on the development of the Swiss heavy water reactor DIORIT at Würenlingen, which went critical on 26 August 1960. In between, i.e. 1952/1953, he was sent to the Dutch-Norwegian Reactor Research Institute JENER in Kjeller.
1960, he was named full Professor and director at the newly founded "Institut für Reaktortechnik", his main fields of research focusing on reactor theory, numerical mathematics, neutron diffraction, and computer science. He was involved in the construction of the neutron spectrometers at the reactor DIORIT as well as in the development of a multiprocessor computer (16 CPU's) for solving partial differential equations. He carried out the first calculations for a spallation source using the surplus protons of the 500 MeV ring of the near institute for neutron production, SIN, after decommissioning of the reactor DIORIT in August 1974.
Professor Hälg's contributions to neutron scattering are extensive. He supervised many PhD students, among them the neutron scatterers A. Furrer, P. Fischer, and J. Schefer. For 10 years, he was a member and president of the "Forschungskommission" of the Swiss Federal Institute Zürich until his retirement in autumn 1984 when he became an honorary member of the executive board of the Swiss Neutron Scattering Society. He was also honorary member of the distinguished Physical Society of Zürich.
Albert Furrer continued Walter Hälg´s work as the new head of the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering. In 1966, the neutron scattering activities were moved from the reactor SAPHIR to the newly built spallation neutron source SINQ, also based on ideas of Walter Hälg, who recognized the potential of the proton accelerator very early.
Albert Furrer, present head of the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering (LNS) at ETHZ and PSI, was chairman of the European Neutron Scattering Association when he proposed Professor Hälg to give his name to the Prize. The award is given to European scientists who have achieved an outstanding programme of research in neutron scattering with a long-term impact on scientific and /or technical neutron scattering applications. The scope of this prize is coincident with the result of the professional career of the man who gave his name to this prize. Walter Hälg will be remembered by many in the field not only as a pioneer in reactor technology and neutron scattering but also as a friend. On behalf of the ENSA community we would like to express our condolences to his wife Madeleine Hälg-Degen. She will continue to sponsor the highly prestigious ENSA Prize which in the future will be called the Walter and Madeleine Hälg Prize.

What's the difference between African Extracts Tissue Oil and other tissue oils? It's in the ingredients. Many tissue oils have as their main ingredient liquid paraffin or mineral oil, a petroleum by-product, some with added plant oils and vitamins.
African Extracts Rooibos Tissue Oil is made of natural sweet almond and grape seed oil extracts, with high quantities of antioxidant-rich Bio-Active Rooibos extract, Vitamin E and geranium extract. No colourants or fragrance added.
And it's the most versatile product you'll every buy. Use it from head to toe – add a few drops to your conditioner to relieve dry scalp or massage into summer-dried skin and brittle nails right at the tips of your toes.
For dry skin, wrinkly elbows and knees, stretch marks, scars and much more, our Tissue Oil is more like a skin-care serum, full of nature's powerhouse ingredients – all in a convenient pump spray for use all year round.
Avoid stretch marks
Prevention is better than cure when it comes to pregnancy and once you have stretch marks all you can do is hope that they become less visible with time. Pregnancy and periods of rapid weight gain or loss are prime times for developing stretch marks.
The bad news is that a tendency towards stretch marks runs in families – so if your mother and sisters have them, chances are you will too. The good news is that keep your skin supple and moist by the daily application of African Extracts Tissue Oil will go a long way to keeping your skin looking smooth and beautiful – even when you are expecting. Research* has proven the efficacy of African Extracts Rooibos Tissue Oil in improving stretch marks.
After three weeks, stretch marks looked more refined and lighter. After six weeks there was a significant improvement – skin was more supple and stretch marks less visible. Favourable results were also obtained using African Extracts Rooibos Tissue Oil to improve the appearance of scarring, dry and dehydrated skin damaged by the elements, sensitive skin, skin under stress due to weight gain or loss, dry, brittle and damaged nails and cuticles, and dull, lifeless hair and dry scalp. * Independent study conducted by Dr T Botha and Ms M Engelbrecht from the Department of Wellness Sciences at the Cape University of Technology in 2007.

For the Good Times
Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Today, my boyfriend and I are going on a (shopping) trip to Antwerp. We've been there a couple of times before and we just love that city. Now that the weather is great, there's no doubt that this trip is going to be amazing! This is what I'll be wearing, nothing too much, just keeping it simple.
Dress: Vila, Bag: Pieces, Sandals: Oasis, Glasses: Topshop

Sadly, when I called up the Auditor General's office and asked Sheila Fraser to do a guest post on the state of where my finances were, she politely declined. Something to do with having her hands full with the Harper government, stimulus packages, "Canada Economic Action Plan" sign budgets, and the like.
Oh well.
Just before I drove up to Carrot River, Saskatchewan for my sisters wedding, I stopped in to see my travel agent with the list of departure/arrival cities I was interested in. It took about an hour, but we managed to create a route that was both within the allotted kilometres for the Star Alliance as well as the amount of "coupons." Coupons, in this sense, are the legs(including surface segments) of the trip. A flight that has a connection somewhere is considered to be 2 coupons. For a Star Alliance Round-the-World ticket, one cannot go over a total of 39,000KMs and can only use 16 coupons.
But we did it!
Cost: estimated to be around $7287 when all is said and done.
A bit more than I was expecting, but still pretty damn good considering the flights I'm actually taking. But even then, it got me worried. When I pay for these flights, will I still have enough money left over? I've gone into this entire thing with the plan to have at least $20,000 for spending money(accommodations, food, etc). Is that still achievable?
My current financial standings:
|Savings account 1
|Savings account 2
|Savings account 3
|Main Savings
|Sister owes
|US Chequing Account
Take away the amount that the flights will cost and that leaves me with a total, after paying for flights, of $19,639.75 as of September 8, 2010. And with 82 days or so left before I leave. . . . I'm not worried anymore.
Hell, at the end of this week, with my next paycheque from the pizza place, I will have very close, if not more than, $20000.
And there's still five more cheques from the job after this one.
Add in the money from my vacation pay that's been slowly building up($3300 from the hotel by November, $2000 from the pizza place by november) and I'm going to be golden. I may not get the full amount from the vacation pay(all depends on if I am forced to take it all at once or can take it incrementally while I'm gone. If all at once. I'm assuming that 50% will go to income tax) but even then, I'll be great.
With the amount I have available to me right this moment, I'm looking at a monthly budget of $1402.84. Considering all my major expensive transportation costs are paid for, I think that's pretty damn good. Everything between now and when I leave is just bonus!

2008 Second Quarter Results Indicate Tough Times Not Over1 July 2008 - Markets - Editor
With the second half of 2008 looming ahead, the general feeling among stock market investors and financial analysts is anything but optimistic. Following a nerve-racking first quarter, the second quarter of 2008 started off with many investors believing that the worst was over and that earnings growth and stocks would pick up as the year progressed. These high hopes were dealt a death blow as the effects of the credit crisis lingered, oil prices soared, inflation worries persisted and consumers continued to curb their spending.
The second quarter trading results did not come as a complete surprise to investors, as they acknowledge that the decline was very evident by mid-May when the Dow Jones Industrial Average began its downward spiral, ending the second quarter with an overall loss of 912.88 points. This marked the third quarterly decline in a row, and the worst second quarter result since 2002. Despite a small gain on Monday, the DJIA was down by more than 14%, and it appears likely that the problems weighing on stocks during the first half of the year will continue to the end of 2008.
Looking to the remainder of the year, many analysts are of the opinion that a rebound in home prices will serve as an indication that the ongoing credit crisis is over, while others believe that with high housing inventories, a sustained rise in prices will not take place in the near future. Rising oil prices are a very real threat to economic growth as well as being a contributing factor in inflation. However, oil remains a popular target for speculators, which could also serve to drive prices higher. Consumer spending in general has been inhibited by rising energy costs, which is cutting into household disposable income.
Investors and analysts are well aware that problems are not just confined to the U.S. History reveals that global stock markets very often move in sync and the current situation, where a host of issues are hitting different markets simultaneously, bears this out. Exceptions to the current global situation are some Latin American markets, boosted by Brazil's commodity economy, and Japan with its subdued inflation and Nikkei Stock Average up by 7.6% in the second quarter.
Although the downward trend in the market is an ongoing major concern, with the majority of traders playing it safe while they look for signs indicating an end to both the stock market and broader economy's woes, analysts seem to agree that the situation has not yet reached true panic level. The remainder of 2008 is sure to present some severe challenges in the world's stock markets, but investors will no doubt do all they can to weather the storm.

I'm guessing the former three-term governor of New York may have some unfulfilled political aspirations, as evidenced by the following press release about a national tour and petition drive that includes a stop in Reno tomorrow:
Governor George Pataki Kicks off National Petition Drive to Repeal and Replace ObamaCare with Six State Swing
Washington – Former Governor George Pataki (R-NY), Chairman of Revere America (www.revereamerica.org), announced today the first six stops of the new organization's grassroots tour and national petition drive to gather the signatures of one million Americans who want to repeal and replace ObamaCare with the responsible reforms our health care system needs and that the American people want.
Revere America will formally launch its national petition drive at an event in Boston on April 18 – the 235th Anniversary of Paul Revere's famous ride.
The schedule of events follows. All times are local.
Boston, Massachusetts
Time: 2:00 p.m.
Venue: Paul Revere Mall
Address: 416 Hanover Street, Boston, MA 02113
Lincoln, Nebraska
Time: 8:30 a.m.
Venue: Cornhusker Hotel, Garrett Room
Address: 333 South 13th Street, Lincoln, NE 68508 USA
Reno, Nevada
Time: 12:00 p.m.
Venue: Sierra Marketplace
Address: 3652 South Virginia Street, Reno, NV 89502
San Francisco, California
Time: 4:00 p.m.
Venue: Marriott Marquis, Club Room
Address: 55 Fourth Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
Austin, Texas
Time: 8:30 a.m.
Venue: Texas State Capitol (South Steps)
Address: 112 E. 11th Street, Austin, TX 78701
Des Moines, Iowa
Time: 12:30 p.m.
Venue: Embassy Suites, Salon E
Address: 101 East Locust Street, Des Moines, IA 50309
FYI: Pataki declined a 2010 U.S. Senate bid after reports that he had been approached by Senator John Cornyn, head of the RSCC, about a possible run for the seat currently held by Kirsten Gillibrand. George Stephanopoulos reported at the time that Pataki had said he was not interested in becoming a senator at the age of 64 and would rather run for president in 2012.
In November 2009, Pataki traveled to Iowa, sparking speculation about a possible presidential bid in 2012. Looks like he'll be there again this week.

850 Chinook. 14 steelhead released. Fishing conditions were good with not a lot of
debris observed in the water. Sockeye were observed jumping through the slough and
Tyee Test Fishery Index: (to June 20)
..................2011..........2000's Average........'90's Average
Chinook: 26.87..............71.91......................63.41
In 2010, 135 gillnetters caught only 746 Skeena chinook during this opening. This number was mentioned as the lowest ever catch for this fishery. At the time of this low chinook catch in 2010, the Tyee Chinook Index was 40.53.
This year the Tyee Chinook Index is lower at only 26.87 and it begs the question will DFO allow another opening? All indicators seem to point to the fact there shouldnt be any further openings on Skeena chinook.
Makes one wonder why there was an opening in the first place with such low Tyee numbers??
We shall see if DFO has figured out the 'precautionary approach'.
** Notice, 14 steelhead were reported caught in this opening. These were probably a mix of kelts and fresh fish. Again, we dont know whether they were released alive or dead....or whether 14 is even an accurate number. And so much for the size selective nature of large mesh chinook gillnets....they can and do catch just about everything that swims by.

SEATTLE/BOSTON (Reuters) – A Seattle federal judge on Friday put a nationwide block on U.S. President Donald Trump's week-old govt order that had briefly barred refugees and nationals from seven countries from getting into the United States. In conclusion, I am not saying you want these specific models (music headphones & transportable travel audio system). The Norwegian Star is its most luxurious ship that makes seasonal alternate on trips to Alaska throughout the summer time season and to the Mexican Riviera throughout winter season. The app also options and evaluations by the other travelers about all these locations.
Positive, we had been teenagers ― and at that age it is not unusual to see pals and lovers disappear for a few weeks with their households or away to camp ― but for my relationship, it instantly set the expectation that travel would all the time be an enormous a part of my life, and an necessary one at that. Another federal decide in Hawaii struck down both sections of the ban in a broader court ruling that prevented Trump's order from shifting ahead.

I hesitated to post this "domains for sale" thread because I am really not looking to sell ANY of my Cuba domains because I have BIG development plans that incorporate all my domains. They are either developed, in development, scheduled for development or pointing to developed Cuba websites.
With that said, I might consider selling a Cuba domain name if I have a similar one in my portfolio or if the offer is big enough
My name is Rob Sequin and I am an active domain buyer broker (RobSequin.com) so if you are trying to buy a Cuba domain (or non-Cuba domain) it is VERY likely that I know the owner of the domain and will work to acquire the domain that you seek.
I have been keeping track of the large and medium sized Cuba domain portfolio owners since about 2002 so I know all the Players in the Cuba domain market.

Sharapova wins opening match
Johanna Konta made a strong start at the Italian Open with a straight-set win over Kazakhstan's Yulina Putintseva in Rome.
The British number one, who turns 26 on Wednesday, won 6-3 6-0 to claim her second clay-court victory of the year.
Konta had a bye in the first round as the fifth seed and will face American Venus Williams or Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko in round three.
Fellow Britons Andy Murray and Aljaz Bedene are in action later on Tuesday.
Top seed Murray takes on Italian Fabio Fognini in the evening session at 20:00 BST, after Bedene faces second seed Novak Djokovic at around 15:00.
Konta impressed against Putintseva, breaking the world number 29's serve four times while remaining steadfast on her own.
"You need to play yourself a little bit into the match and into the tournament," said Konta.
"I felt that my level did improve, especially at the beginning of that second set pretty much through to the end."
The first set was hard work for the Briton but her attacking instincts prevailed with the only break in game five.
A fainting ball boy, who was escorted from the court, was the only significant interruption to the world number six's progress in the second set as she raced through six straight games.
"I saw him after the match and I went off and he seemed to be doing better, so I think he's fine," Konta said of the ball boy.
Maria Sharapova solidified her comeback to tennis on Monday as the former number one overcame a slow start to win her opening match at the Rome Masters, beating Christina McHale 6-4, 6-2.
The five-time Grand Slam winner went down a quick break in the first set before revving up to claim the opener while playing in her third event since last month's end of a 15-month doping ban.
"It felt slow and the conditions are quite different to Madrid," the three-time Italian Open champion. "It certainly took a few more games than I would have liked to get used to. But once I did, I felt like I took care of the second set quite well."
The former number one advanced to the second round at the sun-drenched Foro Italico as she beat McHale for a fifth time without defeat.
The former No 1'a ranking has recovered into the 200s and a semi-final this week would put her into the main draw for Wimbledon.
Sharapova came through a hic-cup near the end, losing serve as she prepared to wrap it up while leading 5-1, but recovered in the next game to emerge the winner.
Sharapova is still waiting to hear if she will receive a wild card entry into Roland Garros starting a week from Sunday; that news will come on Tuesday, when she is otherwise engaged laying her second-round match.
"I'll focussed on my match, I'm playing tomorrow," Sharapova said; "But nothing is a disappointment after being away from the game for 15 months."
"Winning matches will get me places, so if that's where it got me today, then I will take it. The fact that I'm back and playing three weeks in a row now and three events in a row for me is a big deal. That's my focus."
The match began unsteadily, with three breaks of serve in the first 17 minutes, McHale took an early 3-1 lead. But the rhythm steadied as the experienced Sharapova pegged back her opponent and got to work to sweep the first set from the back foot.
Sharapova is playing Rome for the ninth time, winning the title in 2011, 2012 and two years ago; the 30-year-old owns 11 WTA tour-level titles on clay.
"At this point it's week to week. I certainly have expectations of myself just because when you have accomplished things and when you have won big events and you have been number one, you know that feeling.
"That feeling ultimately stays inside of you and you know how good it feels and you know what you work for.
"I would love to experience those feelings again. Of course, that is my goal. Every week is important, and I treat every match—you know, I might have not played my best tennis, but I set up an opportunity to play another match and to hopefully improve in that match, and that's what I need."
In the ATP men's first round, ninth seed David Goffin beat Thomaz Bellucci 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 6-4 and American
Sam Querrey upset French 11th seed Lucas Pouille 7-6 (8/6), 7-6 (10/8).
Tomas Berdych, the number 12, defeated German Mischa Zverev 7-6 (9-7), 6-4; Jan-Lennard Struff put out Australian Bernard Tomic 6-7 (6-8), 6-1, 6-4.
Former US Open winner Juan Martin del Potro staged a comeback to oust Grigor Dimitrov 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, winning with seven aces after more than two hours.—AFP

Bell Qualifier Street Bike Racing Helmet – Review
Bell Qualifier Helmet
They can be no doubt that this helmet will provide maximum protection to motorcycle riders under all conditions.
Quality Rating9.0
Value Rating9.0
( 0 vote ) 0
There can be no doubt that a motorcycle helmet is not merely a piece of equipment that is designed to look beautiful but rather it is also specifically designed to provide ultimate protection especially to the head of a motorcycle rider.
The majority of critical motorcycle accidents are those were injuries to the head has occurred because of the failure on the part of the motorcycle rider to wear a bike helmet.
Protective gear for motorcycle riders is considerably more than just status symbols or things which have been designed to make motorcycle riders look good.
Features of this Helmet:
- This is a solid helmet design and the entire helmet weights approximately 4 pounds, and its design and construction have been DOT certified.
- It is used primarily for Street bike racing, and it carries a five-year warranty.
- This product has received excellent customer reviews declaring this helmet to be very satisfactory in all regards.
- This is once again a superb product coming out of the Bell manufacturing plant.
- Every effort has been made to produce a product which provides the highest quality, safety, and value for money which could be obtained from any manufacturer.
Cheek Pads are Removable:
To allow customers to manage their Bell motorcycle helmet better, the cheek pads are removable so that they can be washed as the need arises.
This helmet comes with a clear visor, but a tinted version is available at a very reasonable price.
Although this particular Bell motorcycle model fully meets all the DOT specification it does not currently comply with the standards for Snell.
Pros and Cons of this Helmet:
So many excellent features are combined in this extraordinary motorcycle helmet such as the aggressive and aerodynamic shell which ensures good performance and satisfaction.
There is also the quick release shield system which makes the helmet very simple to use even while on the road.
All of the excellent qualities of the leading Bell models have been incorporated into this helmet such as adjustable ventilation system, integrated speaker pockets, and comfortable pads.
The cheek pads which are used in this model has been contour cut for increased comfortability. These helmets may be a little tight at first but after they have been used for a while they tend to become more comfortable.
Helmet Size Guides:
Many users seem to be happy with the accuracy of the sizes of helmets which has been provided which allows for a comfortable fit and which also provides maximum protection.
Although they seem to be a little tight at first, after they had been used for a while most people find it very comfortable and also snug fitting.
Wayne the helmet is in your head the cheek pads should touch your cheeks, but that pressure should not be excessive. When it comes to full face helmets, neither the face shield nor the helmet should touch your chin or your nose.
This is to avoid a situation where wind pressure at high speeds will push that helmet back against your nose. Be careful to choose a home which is close fitting around your temples. There are six different sizes available for this model.
2X – Large, X – Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large
The Product User Guide:
There can be no doubt that this is a high-quality product coming from a very reputable manufacturer and which has been very well received by the consumer both because of its comfortable fit as well as the quality of the product.
The best way to fit a motorcycle helmet will be to spread the sides of the helmet apart and then pull it over your head by using the chin strap.
The cheek pads should frequently be removed, and they should be washed to remove body fluids which may have penetrated into those packets.
This will ensure adequate levels of hygiene and will increase comfort levels.
Final Decision
Based on all the technical information which has been provided by Bell as well as the excellent reviews which were received from consumers there can be no doubt that this is a quality motorcycle helmet which is complying with some of the highest standards in the industry.
They can be no doubt that this helmet will provide maximum protection to motorcycle riders under all conditions.

Although not a native of the city, Evan Christopher has adopted the tradition and made it his own. This loving tribute to New Orleans combines his tuneful compositions with a few nostalgic old songs from the early years of last century, emphasising his gentle, warm tone and lithe technique. The simple accompaniment of two guitars and bass is just right. It includes the fine veteran guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli.

www.smokeyjoes.biz for the purpose of this review.
The ejuice was supplied in a plastic 10ml bottle, with a label showing the Smokey Joes logo on the front, with the juice name "Double Artic" written above it, to the side of the logo, is an image of the ice cubes.
It is available on his website or in store in either 10ml or 30ml bottles, in a choice of 11mg or 18mg.
I vaped this eJuice in my Innokin iClear x.1 with a fresh dual Coil 2.0ohm wick. On top on my Innokin ITaste MVP 2.0 which where both supplied by www.smokeyjoes.biz, which was set to 10 watts.
On opening this ejuice you get mild aroma of peppermint. Quite a clean refreshing smell.
I have tried, and reviewed a few peppermint /menthol juices and am always amazed how different they all taste.
On vaping this ejuice, the first thing you taste is a sweet peppermint flavour, which seems to develop in strength as you continue to draw in the vapor, as it moves down your tongue, the peppermint seems to get stronger, and then suddenly the flavour is lifted by the Menthol, just before is reaches the back of your throat.
And delivers a solid Menthol effect throat hit, which seems to instantly vaporise up into your nose, where the peppermint seems to take back over for the exhale, with just a tingling sensation from the Menthol.
Not sure if it is my set up, but this juice seems to produce a tonne of vapor, very satisfying.
As I said, I have been vaping this eliquid on the new Innokin clear x.1, which has a very full air draw, allowing loads of air to pass through. This large air flow allows really nice month to lung hits, which is where I found that this cooling ejuice came into its own, with just the right amount and flavour and menthol, to delivers a solid hit, with out been to over overing, very invigorating vape.
It is definatly one of those juices that allows you to control your flavour levels, small drag, seems to give a pleasing peppermint taste, big drag seems to deliver a punch of menthol. With a nice peppermint aftertaste.
It not the strongest peppermint or menthol ejuice that I have tried, but seems to have the balance right, without becoming to overpowering.
I have been vaping this ejuice all day long between reviews, over the last few days, and the vape seems as good as when I started, great all day peppermint vape.

Hi All,
Hoping that someone can help.
We have a button setup that will print a 1 inch by 1.5 inch label utilizing a Dymo 450 Twin Turbo. It was working fine until we decided to update to FM15 (and everything else that had to be updated in order to support 15).
So now, this script will only print out one copy, even when I ask it to print 15.
I tried printing from other computers to the Dymo with same result.
I tried printing to other regular printers - I get it to print the correct quantities (and the correct size on regular paper), but obviously it is not printing onto the labels we need.
I have a FM dev who helps me, but he is not available this week. I was hoping to get this issue sorted sooner rather than later.
Please Help!
Using FM15Pro/Advanced (depending on computer used) with FMS13 (Live, we have FMS15 on a test server).
Using Various Macs. The one connected to the Dymo is a MacMini with 10.10.5 on it.

With the rapid advancement of mobile technology and the increased demand of smartphones, many children are being given access to mobile devices at a young age. What many parents sometimes are unaware is that access to these devices has the potential to create a dangerous scenario for children and teens; cyberbullying. The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that children in third through fifth grades that own cell phones are more likely to be victims of cyberbullying. "Parents often cite the benefits of giving their child a cell phone, but our research suggests that giving young children these devices may have unforeseen risks as well," said Elizabeth K. Englander, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Bridgewater State University. It has been reported that up to 43% of children have been victims of cyberbullying at some point in their lives. And up to 58% of those kids have NOT told their parents. It's important for parents to pay attention to their children's behavior, both on and off their devices, in order to be aware of and help to prevent such situations.
Below are 10 tips for parents to help spot the warning signs of cyberbullying:
It can be difficult to recognize the signs of cyberbullying without becoming a helicopter parent, who is overly anxious and suspicious about what your child is doing on their mobile device. But noticing one or more of these signs can help you pinpoint distress in your child's life. If that's the case, create a safe space with open communication for your child to communicate what's going on in their life and check out the 6 proven ways to stop cyberbullying.

Exterior Painting: Preparing Your Walls for Painting
Painting your walls can be costly, if you don't know how. Exterior wall coating can be quite complex since you have to consider the weather such as the sun's heat, the moist during rainy season and the snow during cold season. You can still, however, opt for the less expensive way by painting your own walls and still have a beautiful home. Read on and discover how you can do it successfully on your own.
Clean the surface
Industry professional Apex Coating Services shares that the first step of preparing your wall is to look for any defects and flaws around the wall. Remember, a clean surface becomes well-painted surface. Therefore, it is important to clean them down thoroughly or fill any holes if needed.
Remove any visible nails
Visible nails on wall are usually due to the recurrent tightening and opening out of wall, which pushes the nail out. Since you cannot simply knock the nail back again, you should remove it in order to have a smooth exterior surface.
Apply joint compound
Outdoor exposure can tear down the exterior wall. You need to fix it before doing some repainting job. Apply the surface with rot or damage area with preservative pallets, allow it to dry out and spread over some joint compound to create a smooth appearance. Make sure it is dry before painting.
Depending on the type of the paint you will be using, apply primer accordingly before painting your exterior. For latex paint, use latex primer. For metal, use metal primers and so on. Applying primer can form clean and strong basics for your finishing paints.
Estimate the paint you'll need
To help save some expenses, estimate how much galloons you will need to paint the entire exterior surface. Ask your local paint store on how to determine the amount of paint you need to buy.
If you want to achieve a great, neat exterior wall coating, you need to properly organise your equipment and tools for painting. It all depends on the wall surface and how you are painting it.
Rental Solutions: Paint It To Widen It
When looking for a house to rent, you may end up wanting a certain structure for its price, location and even its look. If you have issues with the sizes of the rooms, well you don't need to worry. With the right painting strategies, you can make narrow spaces look wider and small rooms look bigger. Here's what you should do.
Paint In One Color
Paint the door frame, the trim, the window sills, the ceilings and walls all the same color. This is a visual trick that makes the eye think that the space is limitless. You can choose to install tiles or flooring that is of the same color, too. Try to avoid prints or large murals as it limits your vision and creates "fences" in your mind's eye.
Paint Darker Hues in Certain Places
You can still paint in one color, but for the ceiling you can use a darker version of the color you chose just so the viewers' attention is brought up. Companies that list San Diego rental homes, such as RentHomes.com, note that this trick gives the impression of added space above, which adds width to an otherwise narrow room.
Paint Pastels and Light Colors
It is also best to stick to cool or light colors when aiming to elongate or widen a space. White also works wonderfully with this concept. Try greens and blues and even citrus tones. As long as they aren't jarringly bright or solid, these pastel versions will relax those inside the room and will create an airy feel as well.
Arrange it with your landlord to have the rooms painted the way you want them. Or if necessary, do it yourself just to save money. Ask permission to do this even before you sign anything just so things are clearly laid out and you are allowed to make the changes. These may be an added effort for you, but if you can live in a home that looks and feels bigger than it really is, and is your first choice in the first place, then be ready and willing to invest a little time, money, and energy on improving it.
Improving the Life of Your Walls: Painting Advice from Experts
Whether you're building a commercial or residential property, it involves planning and execution of the project in different phases. People prepare the budget using the current market rates of the construction materials and labour.
Painting your walls is a vital stage in the house finishing, as it improves the value of the structure. When it comes to painting work in Australia, you want a professional touch without breaking your budget.
The Preparation
Whether you are painting the new house or repainting your old residence, the way you prepare your walls determines the quality of the outcome. After completing the construction work, you need to clear all the extra building materials to provide ample space. Remove soil particles and residual chemicals that are likely to affect the adhesion of the paint.
In some instances, repainting requires you to remove all the loose hanging old paint. Other than that, you also need to smoothen the surface to ensure the new paint adheres to the edges of the wall firmly. It may be time for some repairs if there are any cracks or holes on the wall. Do repairs first to allow you to paint on an even surface.
Get paint that suits your climate. The quality of the outcome reflects the expertise of the person that does the job for you. After the painting, the wall needs some time to dry. Experts from the Perth painting service provider Barker-Whittle Master Painters & Decorators recommend painting the exterior walls during the summer, as rainwater is likely to brush off the paint.
There are different kinds of paint, each requiring a particular cleaning procedure to enhance durability. For latex paints, you need to use non-abrasive cleaners, while oil based paints require a vinegar solution.
Your commercial or residential property looks better with a fresh and even coat of paint. After painting, improve the life of your walls through the appropriate cleaning procedures.

Earlier this month a construction worker fell to his death at the Dream Hotel. According to FDNY, the death occurred in the early afternoon at 55th & Broadway and it is currently being treated as an accident. An experienced New York personal injury attorney can answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding your case.
Less than two weeks later, and only twenty-two blocks south of the Dream Hotel tragedy, another incident occurred in which a worker fell thirteen stories to his death. The unfortunate man landed atop a sidewalk shed below where workers were completing façade restoration work. A source of growing concern, the construction site has been discovered to contain over three-dozen violations. According to the Department of Buildings, violations include:
-failure to safeguard persons or property;
-failure to report an accident;
-no record of daily inspection of suspended scaffold;
-work not in conformity with approved plans;
-failure to provide approved plans;
-failure to provide guardrails; and
-failure to provide protection.
Worst of all, officials have said that the deceased was not wearing a harness at the time of the deadly fall. A full stop work order has been issued by the City of New York at the site.
Work Fatalities: The Big Picture
According to theU.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, a preliminary total of 4,383 fatal work injuries were recorded in the U.S. in 2012. Key findings from the 2012 Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries include:
-Deadly private construction work injuries increased five percent in 2011.
-There were some racial differences. The most serious work injuries declined among non-Hispanic white workers and Hispanic or Latino workers, while fatal work injuries increased for other ethnic groups.
-Shockingly, deadly work injuries doubled for those less than sixteen years of age.
Types of Fatal Occupational Injuries
Deadly falls are but one type of fatal occupational injury, and represent 15% of those occurring in 2012. Others include:
-Roadway incidents (24%)
-Other transportation incidents (17%)
-Homicides (11%)
-Struck by object or equipment (12%)
-Exposure to harmful substances or environments (7%)
-Fires and explosions (3%)
Types of Non-Fatal Occupational Injuries
Even when a construction fall does not result in death, it can still cause broken bones, cuts, head injuries, and more. Scaffolds, ladders, roofs, cranes, and elevator shafts all pose dangers to workers. Safety is paramount, and in its absence, companies are responsible when they fail in their duty to provide adequate safeguards and preventive measures.
Taking Action with a New York Accident Attorney
Contact the Law Offices of Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum right away if you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to bring a personal injury claim to recover damages for your injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages, and more. For a free consultation with a skilled Brooklyn construction accident attorney, call (718) 237-5586.

The Ward is chilling in parts, but ultimately lacks character depth and originality.
Directing his first feature in almost a decade, John Carpenter has credited Mick Garris as the main catalyst behind his welcome comeback. Inspired by Gariss' TV series, Masters of Horror, Carpenter reportedly enjoyed working on the low-budget, fast-paced project so much he wanted to try to make a film using the same principles. The outcome, The Ward, is a psychological thriller with elements of the classic horror style.
Set in a mental health institution in the 1960s, the film begins with lead character Kristen (Amber Heard) being sectioned to a secluded ward of a psychiatric hospital. She has no idea why she has been admitted and can't remember anything about her life up to this point. Inhabiting the ward are four girls of a similar age to Kristen, each representing a different clichéd stereotype of troubled youth.
Soon after joining the ward, Kristen begins to see unexplained ghost-like figures wandering the halls at night. Unsurprisingly, no one is forthcoming with answers, and the mere utterance of the sightings is enough to send the doctors and patients into an exaggerated state of paranoia.
As the girls start mysteriously disappearing one-by-one, it's only a matter of time before Kristen joins them. She struggles to stay alive long enough to escape the seemingly inescapable confines of the ward, and soon begins to uncover the horrifying truth of what really lies beneath the surface.
Eluding from the subtlety of Carpenter's early work, The Ward has little interest in creating mood and building tension, instead opting for cheap scares and Saw-like brutality. The supporting characters lack depth and personality and a bizarre last-minute twist verges on the ridiculous.
Frighteningly similar in both tone and script to Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, The Ward is disappointing by Carpenter's standards and is some way short of the return to form fans had been anticipating.

Reader Suzanne alerted me recently to the arrival of another new product from Cadbury - new Bubbly blocks, including one new flavour - Strawberry!
Photos courtesy of reader Suzanne.
Although these are made in Australia, there's several points of interest on these: the first, and perhaps most important, is the new Dairy Milk font - is this a new logo change we're seeing here? I've been unable to find any information on this change (Cadbury didn't even reply to my emails) so I'm unsure if this is a permanent change that will slowly be rolled out, or if it's something special just for the Bubbly products.
Secondly, the transition to the foil packaging (away from the cardboard-and-foil combo) also includes a different moulding pattern for the Bubbly range, from squarish pieces to a rounded, more bubble-like pattern. While in line with the name, the pattern is also similar to the rounded block shape that Aero introduced earlier this year. Hmm!
Suzanne let me know that she found a block of strawberry-flavoured Bubbly, which is a new flavour to the Bubbly range in general. This isn't a flavour that Aero has in its range, so for once Cadbury seems to be a bit ahead of the game!
Have you tried it? Let me know how you like it in the comments below!

Gossip: New Cadbury Bubbly Blocks and a New Flavour - Strawberry!
3 comments:
A new flavour from Cadbury...they're on a roll!ReplyDelete
That new Dairy Milk font has also started appearing on some UK Cadbury products, such as Freddo popping candy and Mousse Snowman.
Oh has it? I did some initial searching and came up empty, but since this Bubbly block format is UK-inspired, I wondered if the font might have been as well. I suppose it's all in the pursuit of brand domination, right? :)ReplyDelete

This is now my favourite chocolate I absolutely crave it. I suggest keeping in fridge for a day and then biting straight into the bubbly and savouring every morsel of it slowly. Beware its highly addictive. The only chocolate I would eat these days.ReplyDelete

"The Basketball Diaries" is based on late poet Jim Carroll's autobiographal book of the same name, and tells the story of a teenage Carroll growing up at a Catholic high school in New York City.
The film follows Carroll as a relatively harmless juvenile delinquent, running riot around the city with his friends and enjoying his status as a high school basketball star, to his eventual demise as a full-blown heroin addict before he's even finished school.
The second half of the film is centered around Carroll's addiction, with gritty subject material that is quite difficult to watch. However, DiCaprio's portrayal is definitely worth viewing this film for, and performances by the supporting cast, including Juliette Lewis and Mark Wahlberg, make this a realistic and powerful film about the living hell of drug addiction.
