Being the third wheel on a date is always awkward, but when it's as boring as this first episode, it's simply unbearable. [12 Sep 2014, p.62]Entertainment Weekly Full Review
Love Prison is prevented from being an island vacation because of the rule that couples can only spend one hour outside each day. Without anything else in the house besides food and drinks, it makes for a long and difficult week; it's even more difficult, though, to find a reason to watch it.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review

Pros : Price, Mahindra Brand
Cons : Looks
Look and Style Mahindra Verito is all of you would also agree with me, is not the car we could fall in love in the first look.I think looks beat Mahindra Verito, though there are some changes in the design like new Mahindra Logo, bold fog lamps, new cladding on the sides, roof rails/ski racks, more use of chrome and new upholstery still the appearance is mundane and there has been only some cosmetic changes. However, the new Twilight Blue color will attract some buyers. Comfort One of the widest and the most spacious in its category. Still the seats are not so comfortable. The plastic used is also too hard and does not give a soft feel. Pickup Pickup is good and the gear ratio is perfectly tuned for a smooth ride. Mileage 21.03 KMPL in diesel is what the company promises under standard test conditions but i hope that similar to its predecessor Mahindra Logan, the alll new Mahindra Verito will also be the best in the category in mileage. Best Features Price is perhaps the first thing about Mahindra Verito that will invite much attention of prospective Indian customers, besides Mahindra Verito is a machine worth buying following its mileage and Mahindra trust factor. Needs to improve Looks Looks and Looks is what Mahindra should change. Bet the Mahindra Verito could become the best selling sedan if Mahindra changes Verito's looks, further making it more in line with other cars. And specially it should change the traditional rear looks that Mahindra Verito has inherited from Mahindra Logan. Overall Experience Good car with lots of space, powerful engine, very good mileage and when these three basic things are present one can ignore the looks. Besides looks i have no reason to say no to Mahindra Verito when all this comes at an affordable price.
can you suggest whether to buy mahindra Verito are wait for Toyota Etios G model which i have booked during Jan'11, I am expecting the delivery might be given By May'11 end. Look forward for your advise. Regards, C.Shivaram

dont go by this review. Its from one of the mahindra guys. can this guy give his identity. I know this car and Mahindra by heart. ITS BULL **** No sservice backup, no spares with dealers, very high maintenance cost, no support on highways, hard steering, truck like look, faulty AC and viper, the list could be endless. I have driven it for 100000 kms. This car has no resale value.
Thanks Amit
i do not know about logan or verito but one car which is shit is indica DICOR now they have launched a new verzion and claim average of 25. The average is great, but the maintenance is too hi. There is no resale in the market, the shocker system is fourth class, a lot of body noise after few months. please keep off tata cars. They are just a way to f$#$ ur money. the temptation to buy a diesel vehicle for low cost really ends up a person in real trouble. The only variant to buy which has a resale value is the V2 turbo. DICOR SAFARI is another disaster. DICOR is one big disaster. engine can go for toss any time. even the certified mechanics of tata are not able to find out the problem due to which this engine fails to perform, how wud they come to a solution???????? just say no to tata. The only companies one can trust in india are MARUTI, TOYOTA, HONDA, OPTRA MAGNUM OR CRUZE IN CHEVROLET, LANCER IN MITSUBISHI OR MAHINDRA IN JEEPS. NO OTHER COMPANY IS WORTH IT AS OF NOW. RENAULT AND NISSAN MIGHT MAKE A WAY INTO THE MARKET BUT ONLY THROUGH A GOOD CUSTOMER CENTRIC APPROACH.

This demonstration board based on VIPER16 is designed as an example of a simple non-isolated auxiliary power supply for a range of input voltages from 85 VAC to 500 VAC.
There is an ever-increasing demand for small power supplies capable of working without voltage range limitations, even at nominal levels of 400 VAC and 415 VAC, respectively. The real voltage level can reach 500 VAC (415 V + 20%).
The major markets for this type of SMPS are home appliances and metering.
The VIPER16 device includes an 800 V rugged power switch, a PWM controller, programmable overcurrent, overvoltage, overload, a hysteretic thermal protection, soft-start and safe auto-restart after any fault condition removal. Burst mode operation at light load combined with the very low consumption of the device helps to meet standby energy-saving regulations.
The significant benefit of this new chip derives from the jitter of the switching frequency and the possibility to supply the chip directly from the DC HV bus, so auxiliary supply is not mandatory.
The VIPER16 is suitable for flyback or buck topologies and thanks to an internal self-supply circuit it does not require an auxiliary supply.
Key Features
- EMC: burst - IEC 61000-4-4 - 8 kV
- EMC: surge - IEC 61000-4-5 - 2 kV
- RoHS compliant
- Isolation: non isolated - N connected to output GND
- PCB type and size:FR4, single side 70 μmdim.: 27 x 45 mm
- Input voltage Vin: 85 - 500 VAC (f: 45 - 66 Hz)
- Output current: 150 mA total (5 V and 12 V output) output current for full input voltage range
- Output voltages:V1= 12 V ± 10%V2= 5 V ± 4%
- Short-circuit protection
- EMI: In accordance with EN55022 - class B
- Standby: 96 mW at 230 VAC

To this I tell you my story. I have no home but the boat and the sea. I spent the majority of my life out at sea, on the ship. We sailed to parts unknown back and forth, carrying goods and trade.
That was my life and it came to an abrupt end one particular night at sea. We were sailing from the coast of America to Portugal, having only left Charleston a few days ago. It was a stormy twilight, the moon shining through dark clouds pouring rain down on the ship. The waves were rough, tossing the ship left to right. I was attempting to tie down the cargo above deck more sufficiently and it was then that a rough wave hit the ship and caused me to slip. My fellow crewmen saw me slip out off the ship and cursed, calling out that a man had gone overboard. The waves were too rough to turn back for me, and though they tried, though I cursed, though I screamed for them, I was merely drowned under rising waves. My last thought, last sight, as I fell deeper in the water, looking at our ship floating away, my ship, floating away... my last thought as the waters rose and the light from the surface got darker and darker, that I lost breath and simply fell unconscious, knowing I would not awake.
I awoke however, coughing out water and mud on a rock. I looked to my sides, arising, and I was shin-deep in a thick brown muddy liquid. I attempted to remove myself from the liquid, trudging, clothes soaked and heavy, onto dry ground. I looked at my surroundings and it appeared as though I was on the coast of a large, rocky, mountainous island. Wooden planks and torn masts were washed up on shore, as well as a large wooden hull of a ship. It appeared to be a large caravel of some classification, 17th century, most likely. Old, tattered and torn tarps lay across the ship and ground. Upon entering the ship, I found it abandoned aside from books and decorations in the cabin. A small journal or log dictated that the ship had wrecked ashore on a deserted swamp-island (I can only presume this one) and that the crew set out for inland, within the swamp. I decided I should get to alpine ground to look for civilization. They were most likely no longer alive, but perhaps there would be remnants of a camp. Things I could use. I began looking for a way up the mountains. The rocks were large and trembling, but I began to make my way onto solid ground. As I climbed the grassy, mossy dried dirt and rock mountain, I looked down the horizon. It could only be hours until sunrise, the sky a dark purple, clear sky. I looked at the swampy mires beneath me, and the jungles were thick. I could see nothing but a small clearing in the jungle, leading to a large lake in the center of the island flowing into the ocean. I began to make my way down into the swamp-jungle to head for the lake. As I began to descend, I thought to call out for anyone. Is anyone there? I screamed for somebody, somebody to help, and there was the echo, and silence. As I continued my descent, the earth began to tremble. An earthquake, most likely. Rocks would be falling down the unstable mountain any moment as the earth shook, and I lost my footing.
I fell, sliding and flipping over the ground down the mountain, every time I flipped, hitting my head and back. when I finally stopped, I was at the edge of the mountain and jungle. My back ached with pain and face was hurting, my nose most likely broke. I began to move into the jungle, stepping through vines and hearing the chirping of crickets and buzzing of mosquitos. every step I made crunched on the twigs and sticks on the ground. As I stepped for what seemed like an hour, the sticks and trees began to thin out and I saw the grassy ferned clearing. I ran towards it, looking for signs of camps, civilizations, anything. But it was clear. Abandoned. I moved towards the lake, where the grass stopped growning and a rock formation encircled the entire lake. Stone spires surrounded the circumference of the round lake, and in the center was black, thick, swampy water. Something in my gut told me I was in the wrong location. As if something was certainly...wrong.
My suspicions and premonitions were confirmed when the ground shook a second time, this time the swampwater began to bubble. This time the trembling was so great I fell flat to the ground. The rumbling shook my body, bouncing it violently. As I tried to regain focus I was only hit against the rock ground harder. When the quake finally ceased, I reclaimed my focus and began to look towards the lake. Nothing seemed to be amiss, but the water splashed across the rock formation. Something had fallen into, or emerged out of the water. I glanced around to identify what this was, failing to spot anything out of the ordinary. Then, off in the distance, I heard crumbling. I turned to direct my focus towards the sound and thus is when I saw it. The visage of something, a monster, a colossal abomination towering higher than the Washington Monument. Its back turned, tentacle-like arms swung against the mountain, still dripping blackwater onto the ground, its squamous body slowly turning from the mountain to face towards me. As it turned, I saw its underside body, lacerated from the rocks, bleeding green thick liquid. Its rugose head angled to confront mine. Its eyes, black all but the center iris, a deep crimson-vermilion faced and stared back at me. I stood, amazed and horrified, as its gigantic, hideous head turned. Its face bowed towards mine, proceeding ever closer. Its eyes of fire were now staring back, the images displayed capable of driving the strongest minds insane.
It was that particular moment I lost my mind. I had stared into the depths of monstrosities unimaginable. Thunder crackled in the sky and I fell to the ground. What happened from then remains a blur. I remember little, only waking up on board an incoming vessel. I had not ever seen such indescribable horror in my lifetime, only able to ponder where it went. The crew who had rescued me had ventured into the island, recalling the lake I had remembered but did not mention to them, lest they deem me mad.
I know that should I ever mention these horrors to the public ear I would be deemed insane and locked away like a lunatic. I know that one day the creature will rise again, this time it will make itself apparent to humanity. It knows me. It would recognize me. I know it comes for me. I know it has followed me, its only living witness.

Pros: Cheap price; high quality crayons; kids love a fresh box.
Cons: Easily breakable; limited color choices when compared to the bigger boxes.
Just a few weeks ago, my kids went back to school (Hurray!). So that meant lots of back-to-school shopping for basic supplies like paper, pencils, backpacks, and of course crayons. While my older two high school aged kids no longer require these staple art supplies, my 1st grader certainly does. Crayons are a school supply list must-have, so this is the time of the year to stock up. And since most teachers prefer the long trusted Crayola brand because of their high quality when compared to cheaper brands, this is what I always buy. We recently had a "tax free" weekend here in Tennessee on school supplies, so when these Crayola 24 Crayons were offered at a back-to-school special price of just 20 cents per box, I purchased several so my six year old son, Tristan, would have plenty of new crayons for first grade. Read on to find out more about a classic crayon offered in a size children of all ages can enjoy.
~~~The Crayons~~~
All Crayola brand crayons are non-toxic, including these Crayola 24 Crayons. According to product advertising: Crayola? Crayons are the classic kids' art tool. They are the colors generations have grown up with - from red, yellow, and blue to gold, copper and silver, too! Crayola? Crayons are designed with a focus on true color, smoothness, and durability. With sizes to fit every child's hand and colors to match every imagination, Crayola? Crayons are here to provide the ultimate in children's artistic expression. Along with the basic color choices are a few specially named colors like dandelion for a yellow crayon and cerulean for a blue one. Color names are now printed in three languages on each crayon and not just one. And not only is this original size available, but crayons can now be purchased in washable and erasable versions at the same time. And while fatter crayons are still sometimes used for tiny hands, these original sized crayons (a little longer than 3.5 inches in length and the width of a regular pencil) seem to still be the most popular. They come in a sharpened state all ready for coloring but only the larger boxes come with a crayon sharpener. And with this Crayola 24 Crayons size, there's enough color choices for just about any art project without having too many to choose from at the same time.
~~~Price & Availability~~~
Purchase these Crayola 24 Crayons where ever art and school supplies are sold. Regular price seems to run between $1 and $2 for this size, but purchasing at special times of the year can result in great savings. I purchased several boxes for just 20 cents each during the month of August as part of a back-to-school sale at my local Wal-Mart. Sizes of crayons available start at an 8 count box all the way up to their Big Box containing 96 crayons with every color imaginable available. Crayons can be stored in rows of 8 each inside the yellow and green cardboard box in which it is purchased. Or store them loose inside a pencil box just as my son and his classmates do at school. The outer wrappers are the same color as each crayon and feature the official color name. Most in this Crayola 24 Crayons box are basic names and colors as to get the specialty named colors, one must purchase the bigger count boxes.
~~~Product Experience~~~
Of course we all fondly remember coloring with the crayons found in this Crayola 24 Crayons box as a child and even beyond! My favorite back-to-school memories always include a fresh box of crayons. I could color for hours as a child and still like to color with my kids over the years as this mindless activity is a great way to bond as well as relieve some of the every day stressors of life. Now my 6 year old son, Tristan, uses his crayons at both home and school for numerous activities: from coloring in a store bought coloring book to drawing on his own from imagination. He often brings home school work he's completed that requires coloring or writing certain parts with different colors. The more popular colors such as the reds, blues, and greens seem to get used up the quickest. These crayons are the perfect size for small hands although using too much pressure can break them in two. But no use crying over broken crayons as these Crayola 24 Crayons are cheap enough to keep several boxes on hand.
~~~Overall Recommendation~~~
Stock up and save now before all the back-to-school sales are over as these Crayola 24 Crayons boxes are available for a steal of a price. This teacher preferred brand has been around for decades and generations of kids have learned to color with this classic art supply tool. Not only are they often located at the top of any elementary school aged child's required school supply list, but they make great stocking stuffers at Christmas time as well because this seems to be the perfect size to purchase. Of course most younger kids will end up using the crayons on the walls and other forbidden places around the house, so the washable version would be good for the preschool age group. Containing 24 bright and vivid colors, this familiar looking box is sure to be a child's favorite for years to come. Art work and other masterpieces just wouldn't be the same when cheaper versions are used instead. In conclusion, I highly recommend these Crayola 24 Crayons as a staple back-to-school supply no child's pencil box should be without. Good luck and happy coloring :-)

Sandy: One strange birthday gift
Updated 12:21 pm, Tuesday, October 30, 2012
NEW YORK — At first, it seemed like Sandy was the storm that New York wasn't going to take all that seriously.
After all, what are the odds that a hurricane would seemingly come out of nowhere to slam into the New Jersey coastline just days before November.
I was at a bar in Brooklyn on Saturday night where the patrons spent more time mocking the forecaster's outfit during the weather report that came on after the World Series than paying attention to the actual details of what she was saying.
Sure, Gov. Andrew Cuomo had ordered the city to plan for possibly shutting down the city's massive subway system earlier, but what were the odds something that drastic would happen two years in a row, several of the patrons seemed to reason. Plus, those sorts of steps had been taken to get the city ready for Hurricane Irene last year, but the storm largely missed New York City, though it caused significant damage in more rural upstate New York.
But as the forecasts became more dire, and the storm drew closer, the nation's largest city began to kick into gear. The nation's largest mass transit system — the legendary subway, the buses, the commuter rail lines, Penn Station, Grand Central Station — were largely shut down and cleared out Sunday evening. Schools were closed. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg took to the airwaves to announce that evacuations would begin in some of the city's low-lying areas. State and local officials beseeched the roughly 22 million people who live in the New York City metro area to take the storm seriously.
Late Sunday night, the winds began to howl just a little and the first sprinkles had begun to fall. The occasional MTA bus could still be seen making the rounds in Brooklyn.
Monday morning, the winds were stiffer and the rain was still intermittent, but certainly heavier. But that didn't stop some of the families in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood from taking their kids out for a walk down to the Brooklyn Promenade, which is typically home to stunning views of Lower Manhattan skyscrapers, to see the approaching storm.

I traveled down to the Promenade with a couple of reporters from the New York Times (one of whom I'm rooming with) to see what was going on. A few minutes after we got there, a cop car arrived to clear the park. We left shortly after, though not before the two intrepid reporters got an interview with two adorable girls who were excited that school had been canceled. Mom was, understandably, not so thrilled.
Throughout the afternoon, the rain and wind of the approaching storm has continued to build, which — from the vantage point of the apartment I'm camped in — seems to have forced everyone back indoors.
This was not exactly the trip that I had in mind when I booked a flight to New York as a birthday present to myself a couple of months ago. But it almost seems fitting considering the headlines in the city's newspapers in the days before Sandy's arrival.
There was an NYPD officer arrested for allegedly plotting to cannibalize women; a nanny was accused of butchering the two small children left in her care inside of the family's posh Manhattan apartment before attempting suicide; and a 29-year-old cop on Long Island was shot dead in the line of duty. And then there was the hurricane.
As one reporter friend of mine put it in a text message: "You picked the worst (weekend) to come to NY. Happy birthday!"

I hate dumbass reviewers
OK, I know I shouldn't do this, but the guy who just said that the whole thing sucked besides the reporter's boobs must be a lonely faggit. If he gets pleasure of your cartoony drawings of women's breasts. Wow...what a faggit. You should copy and paste this into your reply back to him so that he see's it.
As for your movie! I LOVE THIS SERIES! It's awesome! they are always so funny! I must say that the sound quality lacked a little bit in this one, and I wish you would add more interactivity, but as a whole, this still rocked! Please add like 2-3 more stages where you can choose what happens! It is a genius way to keep your viewers captivated! 5/5!
that news reporter has homongous boobs. thats basically the only good part everything else just sucked.
Great end episode.
This is probably the best one yet,it was pretty long and had much funnier better jokes and i really enjoyed the whole series,excellent job and i hope the new RAB episode comes out soon. =)
rollin on the floor
great conclusion, but maybe you could make up a new story. ME WANT MOOOOORE!
Well done.
This is a well made flash. Small room for improvement but still thumbs up.

My amazing son who I'll call J, is two and a half, and was diagnosed soon after birth with a relatively rare genetic condition. We don't yet know how it will affect him as he grows older, but so far he has battled an array of medical problems. One thing's for sure, our little family's life will never be 'normal'...
It's been a week from hell for J.
It all started on Monday, when we went to Great Ormond Street for a check-up with one of his doctors. The appointment time was 10.30; as always, we had to endure 90 minutes in the waiting room that has next to no toys. J soon tired of the cars I had brought to entertain him. What larks!
By the time we finally were called in, it was J's lunchtime and he was starting to get slightly frazzled. The doctor's examination terrified and pained him and his sensitive wound dressing from a previous surgery didn't get put back on right. As the doctor told me J needed more surgery, J was hysterical and I could hardly hear her.
Carrying J out of the hospital, my merry little boy had been reduced to a sobbing wreck. And all I could think was that if an examination could do this to him, how awful he would feel after surgery.
Thankfully, the tube journey calmed him, but on Tuesday, when we had a play date with a friend's daughter, he became upset again, clutching his wound and screaming.
For the next three days, time became a blur of dressing changes and syringes of medicine, A&E, J screaming for hour after hour, me sobbing for hour after hour, desperate phone calls trying to track down doctors who told me to 'manage it at home with Calpol' (Calpol wasn't working) and begging one secretary in particular who insisted the consultant would not speak to us. To his great credit, he called in person hours later.
One of the difficulties when your child has a complex medical history is that it's hard to be sure what is wrong sometimes. Even the specialists, wonderful though they are, don't really know (it looks like the surgery is the answer but that is 10 days away).
When your child's in agony it feels like you are in agony too. You know that feeling when you're in pain and you can't imagine the pain ever ending? That's how I felt this week.
Then suddenly yesterday, I could breathe freely again. We noticed J had stopped clutching his wound and crying for 10 minutes. It lengthened and lengthened; he stopped lying in our arms and began moving around again. He was his usual self! As happy as anything, for a good two hours. My relief was inexpressible.
This morning again, he seems recovered. We are praying he stays well now until the operation.

A woman puts her newspaper on top of the chest of drawers weighing it down with a paperweight which looks like a newspaper - nutty! Woman opens drawer of the chest of drawers.
A set of place mats have a design which forms a picture of a bunch of grapes when placed on the table together. Last item featured is a great ashtray which looks like a telegram. Crazy Italians!

The academic integrity policy at Case Western Reserve University does not work.
Professors are too busy to hold students accountable, and there is no culture here where we (the students) demand the highest standards of honesty from one another. Recently, I have personally witnessed terrible offenses of academic integrity. This is a problem.
Academic integrity is the basis of the value of
every degree
given by Case Western. Employers, the community, and other academic institutions must be able to trust that graduates from CWRU are equipped with the skills they claim to
Cheating is rampant, and students need to hold each other accountable. Creating a culture of peer-enforced honesty will better prepare students for the workplace while simultaneously creating deep feelings of mutual trust and respect.
This is the culture that current and future CWRU students deserve.
Please sign the petition below to show the CWRU Division of Student Affairs that you value a more prominent culture of honesty, respect, and trust at Case Western Reserve University.

Carlyle Group on Wednesday reported a significant drop in first-quarter earnings, which the private-equity firm attributed to a slowdown in the number of investments it sold.
The company reported economic net income, a popular method of measuring profitability at investment firms, of $322 million, down 18 percent from $394 million a year earlier.
Revenue rose 5 percent, to $897 million from $852 million.
Carlyle's performance fell far short of analysts' expectations. The D.C.-based firm earned 85 cents per share, compared with a forecast of $1.01 from analysts polled by Thomas Reuters.
Carlyle, which went public two years ago this week, had enjoyed robust earnings for 2013. It sold companies at healthy prices, thanks largely to a strapping stock market. The Dow Jones industrial average closed at an all-time high Wednesday.
"We are executing sales at attractive prices around the world," Carlyle co-chief executive William E. Conway Jr. said in a news release accompanying the earnings report.
The downside of rising stock prices is a growing dearth of attractive investment opportunities, which Conway said has occurred over the past several months.
Even as it looks for better investments, Carlyle put $1.1 billion into companies in the first quarter. And it committed an additional $3.1 billion that it will invest as deals close.
As a private-equity firm, Carlyle raises money from limited partners, which it uses to buy companies, improve them and sell them at a profit. During the first quarter, Carlyle raised $5.5 billion to fund its investments, raising its total amount under management to $199 billion.
The company also said its board of directors had declared a dividend of 16 cents per share, to be paid May 22.
In the earnings release, co-chief executive David M. Rubenstein took note of a prominent figure who recently decided to join the firm. In March, Carlyle announced it had hired Michael J. Cavanagh, who was once viewed as a potential successor to JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon. Now, Cavanagh appears poised to emerge as one of the key leaders of Carlyle, given that the firm's founders are in their 60s.
"Carlyle had a solid start to 2014," Rubenstein said. "As new top talent joins our seasoned leadership team and we launch new fund strategies and make targeted acquisitions, Carlyle continues to meet the increasingly complex demands of our global investor base."

WCPT has launched updated materials to support physical therapists in organising activities for World Physical Therapy Day 2013. The message is again Movement for Health – this time with an emphasis on staying fit no matter how young or old you are.
The new materials were published as the World Health Organization drew attention to physical inactivity as one of the most common and persistent contributors to poor health in the world. An editorial in the WHO Bulletin said that "we are failing to promote regular physical activity regularly". It called for a greater emphasis in campaigns on the quality of life that exercise can bestow, and drew attention to the importance of tailoring physical activity to each person's individual abilities.
These are central themes in this year's WCPT World Physical Therapy Day toolkit of campaign materials. They highlight the importance of all people exercising, whatever their age or physical ability – and getting specialist advice from a physical therapist to find activities that are suitable for them.
WCPT has produced posters and leaflets with the central message "Fit for the future" – designed to be handed out direct to the public to convey key messages including:
- staying active throughout your life means you can enjoy the present and set firm foundations for the years ahead
- people who don't keep exercising lose independence and get less out of life
- if people have problems that might affect how they exercise, they should get advice from a physical therapist, the qualified experts in movement and exercise.
"The wonderful thing about World Physical Therapy Day is that it can highlight the importance of every aspect of physical activity, and every aspect of physical therapy practice from paediatrics to geriatrics," said WCPT President Marilyn Moffat. "Physical therapists can highlight exactly what we do, and how we do it."
The new toolkit of materials is designed to help physical therapists around the world organise activities and campaigns for World Physical Therapy Day. However, as in previous years, WCPT is encouraging physical therapists around the world to publicise the aspects of health and the profession's work which are most appropriate to national needs and circumstances.

I think it is good if the flyers they are giving out is well printed with clear and quality graphic aside from the message information.

Scott Brown calls on Todd Akin to quit after 'legitimate' rape remark
Republican Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown on Monday called on his party's Missouri Senate candidate to drop out following his claim that women who were victims of "legitimate" rape could not get pregnant.
"As a husband and father of two young women, I found Todd Akin's comments about women and rape outrageous, inappropriate and wrong," Brown said in a statement. "There is no place in our public discourse for this type of offensive thinking. Not only should he apologize, but I believe Rep. Akin's statement was so far out of bounds that he should resign the nomination for U.S. Senate in Missouri."
During an interview with a local TV station over the weekend, Akin had been asked if his extreme anti-abortion views applied to cases where the woman had been raped.
"It seems to me, first of all, what I understand from doctors is that's really where—if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," Akin said.
Although Akin later insisted that he "misspoke," Republicans quickly condemned the remarks.
"Congressman's Akin comments on rape are insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly, wrong," presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney told The National Review. "Like millions of other Americans, we found them to be offensive."
Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MT) said that he also found Akin's comment "offensive and reprehensible."
But Republican strategist Karl Rove avoided repudiating Akin and quickly changed subject when he was asked about it on Fox News on Monday.
"Let's see how it plays out here," Rove told Fox News host Martha MacCallum. "He's got some real explaining to do."
Update (11:30 a.m. ET): Conservative pundit Michelle Malkin suggested that Republicans should reconsider Akin's nomination.
"There's no sugar-coating or whitewashing this. It wasn't a 'gaffe.' It was ignorant, garbled nonsense," Malkin wrote. "The question for Republicans in Missouri is whether sticking by self-inflicted-wounded Akin is more important than securing a U.S. Senate majority."
Update (2:15 p.m. ET): New Mexico Senate candidate Heather Wilson (R) called on Akin to withdraw.
"As a woman and a mother, I found Representative Akin's comments this weekend to be sickening and deeply offensive. There is no such thing as 'legitimate rape.' His remarks undermine his ability to command the respect necessary for leadership and he should step aside," Wilson said in a statement.
Update (3:15 p.m. ET): House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called Akin's comments "another manifestation of the total disregard and disrespect of women by Republican leaders."
"Unfortunately, this attitude is nothing new," Pelosi said in a statement. "Congressman Akin has already joined Congressman Paul Ryan and other House Republicans in co-sponsoring a bill to weaken the definition of 'rape.' It is almost impossible to believe that any political leader would suggest that any case of rape is 'legitimate.' The fact remains: Congressman Akin's offensive comments are simply one more part of the Republican attack on women's health."
"Republicans are true to their nature – maintaining a low opinion of the rights critical to the health and security of America's women. Americans were shocked earlier this year when Republicans would not even let a woman testify on key women's health issues. Congressman Akin's reprehensible remarks are inexcusable; the legislation he is co-sponsoring is disgraceful; and both must be condemned by leaders regardless of party."

Raising a child vegan
Hi, all! I'm currently in college and I'm to write an argumentative essay for my English class. I'm working toward my B.A. in Child Psychology and I've chosen a topic. My topic is raising a child as a vegan. My question to you is what you think the pros and cons are. I'm not trying to get into a heated discussion about it. Just curious. Vegan parents, are you raising your children to be vegan too? If they ask to try milk or meat later in life, would you allow them and let them decide how to eat?
I know that a vegetarian diet is actually quite healthy and I've read that vegan diets are the same way (there are other ways to get protien and the people actually aren't being denied any nutrients if they keep to a good diet.) I just don't see a difference in raising a child omnivorous and that child deciding to be a Vegan later vs. raising a child vegan and that child deciding to be an omnivore later.
I think that children should be omnivorous. I try to live vegan but recognise that it is not for everyone. If your baby is growing, it is hard to make sure they have all their nutrients and meat is a cheaper way to make sure they get everything they need. Anyway, I just believe in restrictions if someone asks for them; if they want to be vegan they better eat couscous and beans and all that.
I used to have a vegan friend, and have several vegetarian friends (I am firmly omnivorous, however!). I always think it's completely up to the parent to decide how to raise their children, but purely for sake of discussion these are my thoughts:
Being raised vegan/veg is no different socially, than a child with food allergies/intolerance's. It's inconvenient, and makes everything a bit more complicated (try planning a little league pizza party with a kid that can't have dairy or gluton!), but the kids understand. My son will actually check with me that his friend can have a certain food before picking it as a snack when his friend comes over.
My one vegan friend nursed her girls for as long as possible... but she was not a cook and made everything from a box. I do think that probably hurt their diet quite a bit... it's only a healthy diet if, like any other diet, you use healthy ingredients. There are plenty of vegan "junk" foods out there (oreos, for example!).
Lastly, I have a friend who was raised as a strict vegertarian. She can't eat meat now, it makes her sick.... so, her choice was really taken from her by never being exposed to meat as a child. She has no problem with it and enjoys being a vegetarian (her daughter is being raise pescetarian), but I do personally think that you need to offer a variety along with education and offer choices.
My one last tidbit... and this is completely anecdotal and not proof of anything at all (I know some kids just look a certain way), but the daughters of both my veg friend, and vegan friend both constantly had dark circles around their eyes, and the vegan girl was constantly sick. I understand sometimes kids are just more prone to illness, but I couldn't help but to connect it with diet. I think you can definitely feed a child healthy without meat, but I don't personally think they can truly get everything they need from a vegan diet. I don't think anyone can, in fact.

didnt see it, but cant wait to read about it. :)
Nay. I was really disappointed with her and was just about to post about it! She focused entirely too much on her body and not on her voice. I wasn't impressed with the outfits either. And I'm really not a conservative person - I just think that with all the families watching that show, the way she grabbed her hips and touched her inner thigh was inappropriate.
I did like the Destiny's Child reunion though. That was a nice surprise.

New Canaan resident Jeannie Hart knew skin cancer was common. Several of her friends have had it, but she "never thought it was going to be" her.
But one day, when she decided to visit a doctor for a small lesion between her lip and nose, she learned she had skin cancer.
"I had noticed something on my face, but it really looked like nothing," she said. "I was stunned when (the dermatologist) called and told me that it was cancerous."
But Hart still hadn't realized how common skin cancer was until she went to have surgery at a doctor's office in Stamford on April 12.
Hart and two of her longtime friends, who also are from New Canaan, ran into each other as they went to have surgery at Dr. Omar Ibrahimi's office at the Connecticut Skin Institute. None of the women -- Hart, Gill Foster or Nancy Sessions -- knew about each other's condition or that they would be there that day.
Sessions' husband, Bill, said he and the three women were amazed at the surprise meeting.
More Information
"The ladies accused the doctor and his office of selecting his patients by ZIP code," he said. "But it was just a total coincidence."
Ibrahimi denied grouping his patients by town and said the coincidence goes to show how widespread skin cancer has become.
"Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer," he said. "And we really have an epidemic of skin cancer on our hands."
More than 2 million people are diagnosed with at least one type of skin cancer, including non-melanoma, every year in the U.S., according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Non-melanoma skin cancers are typically diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma and are highly curable.
Nancy Sessions said she thought the doctor scheduled them on the same day on purpose.
"We all were quite surprised to see each other," she said. "How else could you do this?"
The three ladies were there to have Mohs surgery, a micrographic procedure that has been embraced by an increasing number of surgeons as the most effective technique for removing non-melanoma carcinomas, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation's website.
Nancy Sessions had undergone Mohs surgery before at Yale-New Haven Hospital for a different skin cancer. But after she met Ibrahimi at a skin cancer presentation at the Lapham Center in March, she decided to give him a try.
She then visited him on April 12 to have a squamous cell tumor removed from the middle of her scalp. She was diagnosed about a month before surgery.
"Nancy (had) complained about this sore that she had, and I looked at it," Bill Sessions said. "It didn't look good to me, so we went to a regular dermatologist in Stamford, where it was confirmed it was (malignant)."
As Bill Sessions was watching the doctor operate on his wife, he was shocked at the size of the cyst.
"At the start of it, it looked about the size of a 10-cent piece. When he finished, it was about the size of a half-dollar," he said.Read Full Article
However, everything went well, if not better than expected. "He managed to do everything without shaving her hair," Bill Sessions said.
Foster had a similar procedure that morning and Hart was there for removal of a cyst on her upper lip.
Nancy Sessions said she and Foster started the "roadway triangles," which are the 32 roadside gardens throughout New Canaan, and have worked together through the New Canaan Garden Club, where she said they met Hart, and the New Canaan Beautification League.
Hart said seeing her friends there made the surgery "painless."
"I was so amazed and so relieved to find two of my closest friends right there in the office's waiting room," she said.
Just about a month after the surgeries, Ibrahimi said all three patients are in great condition, especially because they were diagnosed early.
"This can really be cured," he said, especially because of Mohs' effectiveness. "Mohs has the best cosmetic outcome. You spare a lot more skin than most other surgeries because the hole is a lot smaller so it's easy to sew it together."
Ibrahimi said the procedure is even better than others for cancers that are exposed. "When it comes to your face, you want to try to get it right," he said.
The doctor said those who have skin as fair as the three New Canaan women are more prone to skin cancer. Those who have multiple sunburns, moles or have used tanning booths also are at highest risk for skin cancer, according to the 2013 American Cancer Society report.
Other risk factors include sun sensitivity, a history of excessive sun exposure and a past history of skin cancer.
Hart said she loved tanning when she was young and would even "put on olive oil or iodine to get even darker."
Ibrahimi said people should be alert to changes in skin growths, including the appearance of new growths. New or unusual lesions should be evaluated by a physician, he said.
Hart, who said she is now much more aware of changes in her skin, almost didn't see a doctor for her lesion. "I was so surprised because it didn't look like it was worth even paying attention to," she said.

A Few Things About Tonsil Stones
Curiously, you really can have tonsil stones, and they can be very painful. The tonsils are settled in the back of your throat, in a pocket on each side. They are basically made of lymphocytes, and their main purpose is to prevent and fight infections.
Maybe they were effective in the past, but today, with all kinds of different viruses around, there is no significant difference between people who did or didn't remove them. Anyway, they catch and store all kinds of debris, including bacteria and dead cells. Sometimes that debris becomes calcified and hard, forming mentioned stones, known as tonsilloliths.
A common cause of tonsillitis is Streptococcus bacteria. Other causes may be, among others, different viruses or influenza. Symptoms include hoarseness, throat pain, fever, chills, headache, loss of appetite and white coating on the surface. There is no other effective way of preventing this but to remove them.
Tonsilloliths are much more common among people with chronic inflammations. Small ones aren't so unpleasant, and people rarely notice them. When they become very large, they may cause all kinds of symptoms, beginning with sore throat. Besides, they do cause very bad breath, also.
Further more, they can cause swallowing problems, and quite unpleasant ear pain, usually when inflamed. Numerous antibiotics can be used for a treatment, but your physician should decide about it. The only way to solve this problem in a long run is to surgically remove them, to make tonsillectomy.
Among the usual methods for tonsillectomy the most common one is a good old scalpel. Lately, some other methods became popular, like an ultrasound and laser. In any case, it is quite simple, and you will be without your tonsils in about 45 minutes. After few hours, you'll be able to go home. The pain isn't so bad, and you will get something to ease it, but you have to rest for a week or so.
Maybe there will be a little blood, also. If there is just a small amount of it, and it isn't bright red, don't be alarmed, even if your child is in question. There's a little chance of anything dangerous, but you may call your physician if you aren't sure.
For a first few days be careful with the things you eat. Anything solid or ho, or spicy may irritate your throat, and there is a fresh wound there. So, eat something light, liquid and easy, like soups. Follow the instructions they will give you in your hospital, and everything should be fine. When you have problems with tonsil stones, surgical removal is the best way of solving them, even if it isn't very pleasant.

Important Details That Are Related To Colon Cancer Symptoms
Cancer generally can be a sickness and well being condition that is not completely understood. Exactly what causes it is certainly not clear, the symptoms mirror those of different diseases, it may possibly occasionally have no symptoms in the early stages, and so it might occasionally not be extremely simple to determine the actual symptoms of cancer. In this regard, the colon cancer signs are very similar to those of most other illnesses. In other instances, colon cancer doesn't show any signs at all particularly at its beginning.
Colon cancer is one of these forms of cancer that may be healed if the therapy is applied when the cancer is not advanced. Advanced colon cancer cells may possibly not be totally treated and cured. In the present, each treatment for colon cancerous cells has some degree of ineffectiveness in some patients. Being informed of the common colon cancer symptoms could allow you to as well as your medical consultant on the diagnosis of the condition prior to it is produced and therefore looking for the ideal remedy in the suitable time.
So that you can have an understanding of and get clear the colon cancer signals you ought to first fully grasp exactly what the colon is and its particular functions within your system. The colon plays a very important role within the digestive system. It's involved in the assimilation of water, nutrients and minerals in to the physical body. It can be also involved in the getting rid of body waste products in the form of stool. Colon cancer affects its functioning and so it is going to not be able to carry out its functions properly.
The colon cancer symptoms may be identified in to systemic and local. The systemic colon cancer conditions are experienced all over the physique of the sufferer. The local colon cancer symptoms are localized on the colon or the surrounding tissues and internal organs. The systemic indicators all over the human body are in most situations felt when the cancer is at advanced phases.
You'll find very many local colon cancer signals. They might also differ in form, intensity and severity between the individuals. They include things like immediate increase or decrease inside the bowel movements, unusual difficulty or straining to have bowel motions, pencil (finer than typical) stools, diarrhea, dark red or vibrant red blood inside the stool, black or dark-colored tarry tools, bloated tummy, abdomen cramps, mid-section soreness of the abdomen, etc.
The systemic colon cancer symptoms, like local indicators are also very many and they range among the sufferers. They incorporate anemia, jaundice, fatigue, weight loss, vomiting, queasiness and appetite loss. Anemia indicates having low red blood cells count or low levels of iron in the blood vessels. Jaundice refers to the illness in which the body along with other physique sections and bodily organs turn yellow-colored.
Colon cancer can present extremely many other symptoms that have not been stated earlier. As stated earlier, its cause is just not obvious, its signs and symptoms might also represent other disorders and generally, little is identified about it. If you encounter the stated colon cancer symptoms or suspect its attack you ought to go through tests and general body wellness check up.
Based on physicians, all people today aged 50+ years, really should undergo frequent colon cancer tests. Colon cancer evolves extremely slowly; it takes approximately 10 years to evolve fully. It could thus be recognized early on and handled at the earliest instance if the individual undergoes repeated cancer assessment tests.
The person who wrote the above has written plenty on colon cancer symptoms. His website offers a great deal of information on all the stages of this disease. For more information on colon cancer prevention you should definitely check it out.

"The election of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI is a tremendous moment for the Church and a great affirmation of the legacy of Pope John Paul II.
Today's events may have been more of a surprise to those outside the Catholic community than they would be to anyone who has lived the Catholic faith seriously over the last two decades. People with direct experience of Cardinal Ratzinger invariably encountered a man of character, kindness, refined intelligence, humility, simplicity and grace; a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ and a faithful son of the Second Vatican Council where he served as a theologian.
Pope Benedict XVI will pastor the People of God with dedication and love. He will be a great Holy Father to us all."

Letter sent by teacher:
"Parents, I just thought I would email you this afternoon with a "dinner-time conversation tidbit." Tonight, be sure to ask your child about their experience with Agriculture in the Classroom. Today, we had the wonderful opportunity to have Jim Bloomstrand come to all of the fourth grade classrooms throughout the day to present on the topic of Agriculture in Illinois (as part of our larger Illinois unit). Jim is on the board of directors of the Cook County Farm Bureau. He is an experienced farmer who, in addition to being an Agriculture in the Classroom regular presenter, also currently works at the historic Wagner Farm in northern Cook County. His presentation was fantastically informative, hands-on, real life, and full of practical and current content. We are always grateful to our friends at the Cook Country Farm Bureau for their support in our classroom and are extra thankful to Mr. Bloomstrand for his time and dedication."

Davis regains shooting touch for SLC play
Published 8:40 pm, Tuesday, January 10, 2012
Maybe it was under the table. Maybe it was on the team bus.
Somewhere, Brandon Davis would find his jump shot.
That was the running joke before last week.
With his leading 3-point shooter in a month-long slump, Lamar coach Pat Knight said he used humor to help Davis improve.
"It was all jokes," David said. "I took it to heart to make myself better."
So Davis went back to work. He shot 3-pointers for an hour before and after practices, not stopping until he made 100 total shots from six different spots around the arc.
He started doing this about two weeks before Southland Conference play started last week.
The work paid off.
Through two league games, Davis has 11 3-pointers, the most of any Southland player in league play. He sank 8 of 11 Saturday in Lamar's 103-67 victory against Central Arkansas at the Montagne Center.
His 14 3-pointers made in the last three games has come after a four-game stretch in which he made only one 3.
"He's our 3-point specialist," Knight said. "He's like having a starter coming off the bench."
Davis lacked confidence during his recent slump, Knight said.
"His mechanics were fine," the coach said.
"We tried to make light of it," Knight continued. "I don't think someone going through a slump like that, yelling at him or getting on him helps him."
Davis responded to the jokes with a wide grin and the understanding that he better get back to work.
Lamar coaches are not the only people motivating Davis. So does his roommate, senior Devon Lamb.
Both are Jacksonville, Fla., natives, and they transferred before last season from Southwestern Christian College in Terrell, Texas.
They played together in high school for two years but graduated from separate schools. They decided before graduation they would play all four years of college together.
So Davis, who graduated a year before Lamb, sold shoes at a Sports Authority in Jacksonville for a year before they enrolled at the same college.
Now at Lamar (11-5, 2-0 Southland), Davis and Lamb want to finish strong.
The next game is tonight at McNeese State (5-8, 1-0), where Lamar has not won since 1997.
"We tell each other we have to get better because this is our last year," Lamb said.
Davis will do his part with 3-pointers.
"My team relies on me to bring energy," Davis said. "And you can't bring energy without scoring."

When it comes to movie and TV trailers, the biggest news of the week was obviously Fox's release of two different teasers for its upcoming mutant bloodfest, Deadpool. Since we already covered that, though, it's time to take a look at the other big trailers that dropped this week, which feature everything from true stories to superhero epics to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's troubled (fictional) marriage. Check out the week's biggest trailers below.
We've already seen footage from Vin Diesel's new fantasy vehicle, but the latest trailer brings us even more supernatural craziness, plus lots of Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones) as Diesel's unlikely ally.
The second trailer for this mountain climbing drama, based on the true story of the 1996 Everest disaster, emphasizes the film's IMAX release, and brings us even more harrowing footage. It might end up being the most pulse-pounding true story movie ever.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt haven't been onscreen together since Mr. and Mrs. Smith 10 years ago, but they're teaming up again with this film, written and directed by Jolie. Like Smith, the film documents a troubled marriage, but By the Sea isn't a sexy spy adventure. Instead it looks to be a raw, powerful look at a couple unraveling.
Fox's latest superhero flick is out this week, and though the Deadpool flick isn't out until next winter, Ryan Reynolds' Merc with a Mouth still managed to invade the final F4 trailer, just to let you know that you'll get his trailer as a bonus if you see the flick.
Roland Emmerich is best known for directing big-budget popcorn flicks like Independence Day and White House Down, but this fall he will turn his attention to a more personal subject: the 1969 Stonewall riots that created a linchpin moment in the American gay rights movement.
