The Truth About Prescription Pills: One Writer's Story of Anxiety and Addiction
by Kelley McMillan, Vogue
If I had known back in 2008 what I know now about benzos, I don't think I would have filled all those prescriptions.....new Vogue article quoting Dr. Breggin on dangerous and sometimes deadly benzodiazepines... Read more.
There are some folks who have said the psychiatric drugs they are being prescribed 'are working'.... Sadly we are hearing from thousands of families and individuals who thought their drugs were working great for a while, only to say later....I wish I had never taken the psych drugs,....or these side effects after years on the drugs are worse than my original problems ever were.... I hope our message reaches these folks and that they can learn there is a better way of dealing with their emotional issues. See Dr. Breggin's book, that documents why psychiatric drugs are so dangerous and damaging, and how to more safely taper off them and create a better life, triumphing and experiencing the best of the human experience: Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal: A Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients and their Families
$1.5 Million Award in Child Tardive Dyskinesia Malpractice--Dr. Peter Breggin Testified as the Psychiatric Expert
On February 11, 2014 a Chicago jury awarded $1.5 million to an autistic child who developed a severe case of tardive dyskinesia and tardive akathisia while being treated by psychiatrists with Risperdal and then Zyprexa between 2002 and 2007. The drug-induced disorder was diagnosed when he was fifteen years old and by then had become disabling and irreversible.
Tardive dyskinesia describes a group of persistent or permanent movement disorders caused by antipsychotic (neuroleptic) drugs including Risperdal, Zyprexa, Invega, Abilify, Geodon, Seroquel, Latuda, Fanapt and Saphris. In addition to typical tardive dyskinesia spasms and twitches of his face, eyelids, and tongue, the youngster developed a severe case of tardive akathisia involving torturous internal agitation that drove him into constant, unrelenting motion.

Support the Petition to the FDA to Protect Children from Exposure to Dangerous Adult Psychiatric Drugs
Attorney Stephen Sheller has petitioned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration stating that:
We presently represent hundreds of individuals who have suffered serious harm, including gynecomastia and prolactin-related injuries as a result of their ingestion of the second-generation atypical anti-psychotic medications Risperdal® (risperidone) marketed by Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly Janssen Pharmaceutical, Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson (hereinafter "J&J").
Requested Action
We hereby petition the Food and Drug Administration (hereinafter "FDA"), pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. §§352, 321 and 21 C.F.R. §§10.30 and 7.45 to immediately revoke the pediatric indication forRisperdal®, all generic versions of risperidone, and Invega (an extended release and injectable medication which includes the same primary active metabolite as Risperdal) unless and until the long-term safety of the drug can be demonstrated, or in the alternative to immediately require that labeling for Risperdal® and all generic versions of risperidone include a black box warning on the lack of sufficient safety data.
You can support this petition! Ask the FDA to revoke approval of Risperdal and other similar antipsychotic drugs for children and adolescents. Do this by "commenting" on Attorney Sheller's petition. Laypersons and professionals may comment. Public and professional input will help encourage the FDA to do the right thing for all our children. Go here to comment.
Drug Companies Drive the Psychiatric Drugging of Children
by Peter R Breggin MD, with Ginger Breggin
Johnson & Johnson, the company that makes the antipsychotic drug Risperdal, has tentatively agreed to a settlement of $2.2 billion to resolve a federal investigation into the company's marketing practices. Although details are not fully finalized, this includes "a roughly $400 million criminal fine for the illegal promotion of the antipsychotic Risperdal," according to the Wall Street Journal. It's been well documented that Johnson & Johnson confidentially paid psychiatrists such as Harvard's Joseph Biederman to promote adult drugs such as the powerful antipsychotic drug Risperdal for children. The company has even ghost-written at least one of the Harvard professor's "scientific" articles.
Another recent DOJ settlement with drug company GlaxoSmithKline resulted in Glaxo's agreement to pay $3 billion in criminal and civil fines. As I wrote in an earlier Huffington Post blog:
In one of the most egregious examples of fraudulent marketing, "In the case of Paxil, prosecutors claim GlaxoSmithKline employed several tactics aimed at promoting the use of the drug in children, including helping to publish a medical journal article that misreported data from a clinical trial," [according to the New York Times].
Glaxo manipulated and rewrote this study, which was rejected by the FDA for failing to show efficacy. The Glaxo rewrite made it appear as though the drug was useful for adolescent depression even though the FDA had not approved Paxil for adolescents. The company then got almost two dozen well-known researchers and "experts" to put their names on the article as if they had written it.
GlaxoSmithKline also secretly paid about $500,000 to psychiatrist Charles Nemeroff, while he was a professor at Emory University, to promote Paxil. Glaxo even ghostwrote a psychopharmacology textbook for family doctors, who write many prescriptions for children, which was "coauthored" by Nemeroff and psychiatrist Alan Schatzberg. Nemeroff was sanctioned for failing to report the Glaxo payments he received while at Emory. But he's landed on his feet running, now chairing the psychiatry department at the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami.
None of these drug-company-bought psychiatrists has suffered serious consequences. Biederman remains a star at Harvard and Nemeroff recently received a new $2 million federal grant from the National Institute of Mental Health. These influential psychiatrists are just two out of many doctors who have been investigated for extensive financial relationships with drug companies. Read more here.
Prozac Drug Label Updated to Include Persistence of Sexual Dysfunction
Psychiatrist Stuart Shipko, MD from Pasadena, CA , a member of the Center for the Study of Empathic Therapy Advisory Board, has let us know that drug company Eli Lilly has now changed the label on Prozac to include sexual dysfunction that persists after stopping the drug. The label says: "Symptoms of sexual dysfunction occasionally persist after discontinuation of fluoxetine treatment". Here is a link to the 2011 Prozac product label.
Big Pharma company Eli Lilly has been a leader in developing ways to massage, manipulate and confuse information about their psychiatric drugs in order to increase sales. Dr. Peter Breggin and Ginger Breggin were the first to expose these manipulative practices and the hazards of Prozac, Eli Lilly's antidepressant, in their book Talking Back to Prozac. Still available, this book rips the veil of secrecy off of the disturbing and sometimes deadly adverse effects of this drug.
"New Study Confirms Electroshock (ECT) Causes Brain Damage"
by Peter R. Breggin, MD
See Dr. Peter Breggin's ECT Resources for complete and extensive scientific documentation of the debilitating effects of electroshock.
...The title of the research paper actually tells the story: "Electroconvulsive therapy reduces frontal cortical connectivity in severe depressive disorder." The specific area is the "dorsolateral prefrontal cortical region." This is the same area assaulted by surgical lobotomy. It contains nerve trunks connecting the rest of the brain with the frontal lobes -- the seat of our capacity to be thoughtful, insightful, loving, and creative. Think of what it takes to be a person; all of that requires the unimpaired functioning and connectivity of the frontal lobes of your brain.
Using a functional MRI in nine patients, the authors of the study conclude, "Our results show that ECT has lasting effects on the functional architecture of the brain." The result of these lasting effects is "decrease in functional connectivity" with other parts of the brain. In other words, the frontal lobes are cut off from the rest of the brain. The authors call this "disconnectivity." Does this sound familiar? It is a "lasting" frontal lobotomy.
This new study contradicts claims by shock advocates such as psychiatrist David Healy that ECT does not cause brain damage.
The report argues that this ECT effect supports the idea that depressive patients have too much activity in their frontal lobes and are returned to normal bv damaging the offending area of the brain. Psychiatry frequently takes this position.... Read more.
New Research: Antidepressants Can Cause Long-Term Depression
(first published on Huffington Post)
by Peter R. Breggin, MD
Shortly after Prozac became the best-selling drug in the world in the early 1990s, I proposed that there was little or no evidence for efficacy, but considerable evidence that the drug would worsen depression and cause severe behavioral abnormalities. I attributed much of the problem to "compensatory changes" in neurotransmitters as the brain resists the drug effect. Since then, in a series of books and articles, I've documented antidepressant-induced clinical worsening and some of its underlying physical causes. Now the idea has gained ground in the broader research community and has recently been named "tardive dysphoria."
It has been apparent for many years that chronic exposure to SSRI antidepressants frequently makes people feel apathetic or less engaged in their lives, and ultimately more depressed. In my clinical experience, this is a frequent reason that family members encourage patients to seek help in reducing or stopping their medication. SSRI-induced apathy occurs in adults and includes cognitive and frontal lobe function losses. (See Barnhart et al., 2004; Deakin et al., 2004; Hoehn-Saric et al., 1990). It has also been identified in children. Adults with dementia are particularly susceptible to antidepressant-induced apathy.
A recent scientific study by El-Mallakh and his colleagues reviewed the antidepressant literature and concluded that any initial improvements are often followed by treatment resistance and worsening depression. They compare this problem to tardive dyskinesia, caused by antipsychotic drugs, and call it tardive dysphoria, "an active process in which a depressive picture is caused by continued administration of the antidepressant." Based on rat studies, they hypothesize that "dendrite arborization" -- an increased branching growth of nerve cells -- caused by chronic antidepressant exposure, may be the cause.
Psychiatric Drug Use Spreads--Pharmacy Data Show a Big Rise in Antipsychotic and Adult ADHD Treatments"
Wall Street Journal, November 16, 2011
The medicating of Americans for mental illnesses continued to grow over the past decade, with one in five adults now taking at least one psychiatric drug such as antidepressants, antipsychotics and anti-anxiety medications, according to an analysis of pharmacy-claims data.
Among the most striking findings was a big increase in the use of powerful antipsychotic drugs across all ages, as well as growth in adult use of drugs for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder—a condition typically diagnosed in childhood. Use of ADHD drugs such as Concerta and Vyvanse tripled among those aged 20 to 44 between 2001 and 2010, and it doubled over that time among women in the 45-to-65 group, according to the report.
Overall use of psychiatric medications among adults grew 22% from 2001 to 2010. The new figures, released Wednesday, are based on prescription-drug pharmacy claims of two million U.S. insured adults and children reported by Medco Health Solutions Inc., a pharmacy-benefit manager.

America's State of Mind Report is a Medco Health Solutions, Inc. analysis examining trends in the utilization of mental health‐related medications among the insured population. The research reviewed prescription drug claims of over two million Americans to assess the use of antidepressants, antipsychotics, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder drugs and anti‐anxiety treatments between 2001 and 2010.
The Report provides revealing insights into the utilization of mental health treatments along gender lines, age groups and geography, as well as changes that have occurred over the decade. Read the full report here.
Prozac Turned Teen into Murderer
Judge Bases Opinion on Testimony of Psychiatrist Peter R. Breggin, MD that the Antidepressant Caused a Stimulant-like Syndrome Leading to Manic-like Behavior, Suicidality and Violence
( Go to Judge's Opinion )
The headline from the Winnipeg Free Press in Canada tells the story: "Judge Agrees Prozac Made Teen a Killer." Provincial court judge Robert Heinrichs listened to expert psychiatric testimony for the defense by Peter R. Breggin, MD and weighed it against testimony for the prosecution by a Canadian psychiatrist.
On September 16, 2011 the judge issued his opinion in regard to the sixteen-year-old who stabbed his friend to death. The judge determined, "His basic normalcy now further confirms he no longer poses a risk of violence to anyone and that his mental deterioration and resulting violence would not have taken place without exposure to Prozac." Also consistent with Dr. Breggin's lengthy report and testimony, the judge observed, "He has none of the characteristics of a perpetrator of violence. The prospects for rehabilitation are good."
In his written opinion in the case of "Her Majesty the Queen and C.J.P" (Citation #2011 MBPC 62), Judge Heinrichs concluded, "Dr. Breggin's explanation of the effect Prozac was having on C.J.P.'s behavior both before that day and in committing an impulsive, inexplicable violent act that day corresponds with the evidence" (p. 18). He also found, "there is clear medical and collateral evidence that the Prozac affected his behavior and judgment, thereby reducing his moral culpability" (p. 20). The judge's complete opinion is available here. Read the rest of the story here.
The Diagnosing and Drugging of "ADHD" Children—An American Tragedy
by Peter R. Breggin, MD, Psychiatrist, Private Practice, Ithaca, New York
Director, the Center for the Study of Empathic Therapy, Education and Living
First published in the Huffington Post
The diagnosing of millions of children with ADHD in order to medicate them with stimulants and other psychoactive chemicals is an American tragedy, growing into a worldwide catastrophe. Never before in history has a society attempted to deal with its children by drugging a significant portion of them into conformity while failing to meet their needs in the home, school and society. The ethical scientist or physician, the concerned parent or teacher, must feel stricken with grief and dumbfounded that we have allowed the interests of powerful advocacy groups to completely override the interests of our children.
To make matters worse, on October 16, 2011 the American Academy of Pediatrics overrode the FDA and recommended that children as young as age four be diagnosed with ADHD and given the stimulant methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin, Metadate, Focalin, Daytrana and Concerta). The scientific literature actually shows that 50% or more of children this young when give Ritalin, Focalin, Dexedrine, Adderall and other stimulants will become obviously depressed, lethargic, weepy--but more manageable. Moreover, it's been proven time and again that the stimulants stunt their growth. In addition, studies show that stimulants will permanently change their brain chemistry, cause shrinkage of brain tissue, predispose children to cocaine addiction in young adulthood, stigmatize them with a false diagnosis, and push them toward becoming permanent consumers of psychiatric drugs.
This endorsement of drugging younger children by the American Academy of Pediatrics is an outrage. While focusing on ADHD and stimulants, the endorsement will open the door to every other psychiatric drug. Those weepy children who are having adverse reactions to stimulants will have an antidepressant added to their daily drug dose. When some of them become overstimulated, sedatives will be added to the regimen. When some of them develop drug-induced hallucinations and delusions, or mania, mood stabilizers and antipsychotics will be added. These new guidelines will encourage prescribers to throw caution to the wind with toddlers, opening a Pandora's box of drug intervention for children. Many young children will have their brains bathed with powerful and often toxic chemicals in the early years of their central nervous system development.
The scientific issues are simple enough. Read the rest of the essay here.

ADHD -- A Misdiagnosis Anywhere
by Peter R. Breggin, MD, In The New York Times October 13, 2011
The drugging of children for A.D.H.D. has become an epidemic. More than 5 million U.S. children, or 9.5 percent, were diagnosed with A.D.H.D. as of 2007. About 2.8 million had received a prescription for a stimulant medication in 2008.
By making an A.D.H.D. diagnosis, we ignore and stop looking for what is really going on with the child.
The A.D.H.D. diagnosis does not identify a genuine biological or psychological disorder. The diagnosis, from the 2000 edition of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders," is simply a list of behaviors that require attention in a classroom: hyperactivity ("fidgets," "leaves seat," "talks excessively"); impulsivity ("blurts out answers," "interrupts"); and inattention ("careless mistakes," "easily distractible," "forgetful"). These are the spontaneous behaviors of normal children. When these behaviors become age-inappropriate, excessive or disruptive, the potential causes are limitless, including: boredom, poor teaching, inconsistent discipline at home, tiredness and underlying physical illness. Children who are suffering from bullying, abuse or stress may also display these behaviors in excess. By making an A.D.H.D. diagnosis, we ignore and stop looking for what is really going on with the child. (read more: "A Misdiagnosis Anywhere" by Peter R Breggin MD New York Times October 13, 2011)
Childhood Bipolar Disorder--A Fad Diagnosis?
Los Angeles Times -- Psychiatrists sharpened their interest in child mood problems several years ago in response to criticism over the number of children diagnosed with bipolar disorder — a debilitating condition in which periods of depression alternate with euphoria or elevated moods. It is considered incurable, although symptoms may be treated with drugs that carry serious side effects.
The idea that bipolar illness can begin in childhood caught hold in the last decade. The number of outpatient visits for children diagnosed with bipolar disorder mushroomed from fewer than 200,000 a year in 1995 to 800,000 in 2003, according to a 2007 study in Archives of General Psychiatry.
The study reinforced the notion that childhood bipolar disorder had become a fad diagnosis.

Jimmy Savile was barred from any involvement with the BBC's Children In Need charity, a former BBC governor has revealed.
Despite the late presenter's fundraising efforts, which resulted in millions going to good causes, Sir Roger Jones – a former chairman of Children In Need - said he had been uncomfortable about allowing Savile to have any association with the charity.
Although he had "no evidence" that Savile was up to anything, he said he found the Jim'll Fix It star's behaviour to be strange.
In an interview with the BBC, he said: "I think we all recognised he was a pretty creepy sort of character.
"When I was with Children In Need, we took the decision that we didn't want him anywhere near to the charity and we just stepped up our child protection policies, which again would have put him at great risk if he tried anything.
"So the way that we dealt with it was by beefing up child protection policies."
He said it would have been impossible to make any claims about Savile without hard evidence, but as the charity was trying to protect itself, it did not need evidence.
He went on: "I found his behaviour very strange. I couldn't tell if he was a paedophile. But I didn't have to."
Sir Roger said he did not remember suspicions about Savile being discussed at any meeting of the BBC governors.
He pointed out that Children In Need bosses were very conscious of protecting the charity from paedophiles.
"They were just like flies around the honeypot. Not just in the fundraising but also in the distribution of funds.
"I mean, if we had given money to a paedophile group, the sky would have fallen on the BBC. So we were very very careful, we were on red alert.
"The charity was very attractive to paedophiles. I used to receive phone calls from senior police officers saying 'Don't go near that guy, that guy's a baddie' - meaning that these people had applied for funds for certain projects to help children and we had to see them off. Absolutely not acceptable."
He added: "We did everything we possibly could to protect the kids."

Just a friendly reminder: Before posting a new topic, make a quick check if there's already a suitable topic that may already contain the answer you're looking for. Because it can be hard to find the little buggers sometimes when they're spread over several forums. So here's some help along on the way...
The forum has it's own search function, but to be nice one could say that it isn't as good as one would care to wish. A better option is to use Google, the googlebot frequently index the forum, and include the site:bb.linuxsampler.org operand in your searches to limit them to this very bulletin board.

A plane that landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport Sunday skidded while exiting an icy runway, prompting authorities to briefly close the airport following the accident, officials said.
The FAA said Delta Connections flight 4100, originating from Toronto, landed safely on runway 22 at 8 a.m. only to slide into a snow bank as it was turning onto a taxiway.
The plane was towed to the gate with passengers on board. No injuries were reported, and the FAA is investigating.
"It could have been worse, a much worse scenario," Jordan Houlton told reporters after he emerged from the plane.
"I was sleeping. I woke up and it was 9:30," Houlton said. "A police officer came on to make sure everyone was OK. Luckily, everyone was OK. It was kind of wild. I still can't believe it."
The airport closed for about an hour Sunday morning, but flights were delayed by about two hours following the reopening, leaving passengers at crowded gates. Flights resumed after 10 a.m. on two of the airport's four runways, but residual delays for passengers were expected to linger.
The landing came two days after a major snowstorm dumped a more than a half-foot of snow in New York City, forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights and stranding passengers both in the city and throughout the world who were heading to New York. Passengers from canceled flights continued to fill the few remaining seats on many planes already crowded by holiday travelers.
In JetBlue's terminal at JFK Sunday, many passengers were told it would be another three days before they could get out of New York.
Travelers waiting at the airport said they were frustrated.
"People are very frustrated and a lot of people have to go back to work," said Corynne Haynes, who was waiting to get a flight back to Barbados.

Today in Algeria, authorities are scouring a Saharan gas plant for bodies in the wake of a hostage crisis that ended in a shootout between the Army and Islamist kidnappers. Around the world, leaders are vowing to strike back hard at Islamist militancy that is surging across North Africa.
Meanwhile, in neighboring Mali, France is already leading a military intervention to dislodge Islamist fighters who seized the country's north last year. Paris has pledged to keep its troops there until those fighters are defeated and Mali is returned to stability.
So what are Western governments and their North African partners up against? It's a murky picture, but here are some outlines:
Is this a regional problem?
Yes. North Africa is home to various armed groups, from ideologically driven Islamists to criminal gangs. While their aims and loyalties don't always overlap, they have shown an increasing inclination to work together. Some have international appeal, with members reportedly hailing from a range of countries. And many operate across national borders, which count for little in the deep Sahara.
Could the problem get worse?
Yes. If unchecked, violence could intensify, at least in North African countries. Hardline Islamist ideology has gathered steam chiefly among poor young men left adrift amid youth unemployment and lack of development. Deepening conflict could also affect oil markets if installations in Algeria or Libya – both major hydrocarbons producers – come under threat.
Where does North African militancy come from?
Much Islamist militancy in North Africa traces its origins to 1990s Algeria, when the Army's decision to cancel elections that an Islamist party was expect to win tipped the country into a decade of civil strife. Tens of thousands were killed in bombings, massacres, and disappearances, as government forces battled Islamist insurgents led by veterans of the Afghan war of the 1980s.
While Algeria is largely stable today, a militant Islamist faction called the Salafist Group for Call and Combat has continued attacks mainly on government forces. In 2007 the group formally changed its name to Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and remains North Africa's premier militant Islamist outfit.
Who's out there?
AQIM is North Africa's most powerful Islamist militant group, operating mainly in Algeria and northern Mali. While its exact structure isn't clear, it seems to consist of a northern wing based in Algeria's Kabylie region and Saharan bands based in northern Mali.
Also in Mali are Ansar al Din and the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO). With AQIM, these groups have seized control of Mali's north. Their numbers are hard to gauge, but are believed to range in the hundreds to thousands.
Elsewhere in North Africa, small apparently independent groups – sometimes just a dozen or so people – have staged occasional bombings in recent years (Morocco) and gotten into firefights with police (Tunisia).
What do militants believe?
Most Islamist militants appear to share a brand of violent Salafism forged largely in the crucible of the 1980s Afghan war. Broadly, Salafis believe Islam should be followed to the letter in a quest to emulate the first generations of Muslims. That means rejecting centuries of Islamic thought and scholarship that most Muslims see as integral to their faith and worship. While many Salafis don't espouse violence, a minority – including North Africa's militants – do.
What do they want?
It's often hard to say exactly. In general, Islamist militants want to apply their religious beliefs, something that involves imposing their brand of Islam on other people. In northern Mali, militants have set up a harsh rule that includes amputating the hands of alleged thieves, banning music, and stoning people accused of adultery. However, some groups have also stated more specific political aims. AQIM, for example, has long said it wants to set up an Islamic state in Algeria.
Do they work together?
Sometimes. Northern Mali is one example, where Ansar al Din, MUJAO, and AQIM are holding the north in concert with each other. Reports of black English-speakers among the ranks of the MUJAO also suggest that members of Boko Haram – Islamist militants from northern Nigeria – may at least be moonlighting as members of the Malian group.
More fundamentally, militant groups show solidarity. Last week's kidnappers in Algeria claimed their attack was retribution for the French-led intervention in Mali, and demanded it be stopped. While security analysts say the attack was probably planned before France took action, it still offered perpetrators a chance to give fellow Islamists a hand.
What do other Muslims in North Africa think?
Nearly all reject utterly the violence and harsh ideology of Islamist militants, of which they are the principal victims. Indeed, the practice by some militant groups of takfir - branding a fellow Muslim a kafir, or unbeliever – is considered a sin in mainstream Islam.
What have governments done so far to combat them?
Responses have varied. Some have waged military campaigns, while others have focused on police work. Western allies have offered assistance, to mixed effect.
Algeria won peace with a 2005 amnesty for militants who laid down their arms. The Army continues to fight AQIM, however. Algeria has also taken the lead in recent years in rallying North and West African governments to cooperate on security. Given this, last week's debacle – a rare attack on an oil installation – has shocked observers.
The US has spent millions of dollars on counterterrorism training for armies including those of Algeria and Mali. The swift collapse of Mali's Army last year left observers wondering what went wrong.
Where do militants get money?
Details are murky. Governments and security experts all say the AQIM – and perhaps other groups – are plugged into drug-smuggling networks, most likely selling protection or simply taxing the smugglers. Kidnappings are also a main source of cash. AQIM in particular has reportedly raked in millions of euros from European governments in return for releasing their citizens. (Governments routinely deny that ransoms have been paid.)
Has the Arab Spring changed the game?
Yes. The revolutions in Tunisia and Libya in 2011 threw security services off balance, allowing militants to move more freely in those countries and across their borders. In Libya, Muammar Qaddafi's vast arsenals were looted, with weapons from small arms to thousands of surface-to-air missiles pouring onto the black market.
More fundamentally, the fall of dictators opened Tunisia's and Libya's societies – for better and for worse. In both countries, Salafi minorities have asserted themselves, sometimes violently. The starkest examples to date are arguably attacks on US diplomatic facilities last September.

The New Zealand dollar may gain this week as buyers return at lower levels while keeping a wary eye on commodity prices, business confidence and the US earnings season.
The kiwi dollar recently traded at 83.66 US cents from 84.25 cents on Friday.
It may trade between 83.00 US cents and 84.70 cents this week, with a bias to the upside, according to a BusinessDesk survey of four traders and strategists. The range is similar to last week, a week in which and the currency traded to 84.61 cents.
"I'm going positive again for the week for the kiwi but I'm less confident of it than last week," said Imre Speizer, senior markets strategist at Westpac Banking.
He said iron ore prices reversed on Friday and the Chinese stock market was worth watching this week.
The biggest local statistic is the consumer price index on Friday, expected to come in zero or 0.1 per cent for the December quarter, and the NZIER business confidence survey on Tuesday will also be of interest.
US earnings will be important for the US stock market but expectations are muted, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average advancing 0.4 percent in the last week, as did the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
But further gains will be dependent on the read on the economy provided from reports by Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley this week.
Earnings for financial companies in the S&P 500 grew 16 per cent in the fourth-quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"A lot of the moves last week were down to the Bank of Japan adding a big stimulus to their economy, which was added to on Friday," said Stuart Ive, currency strategist at HiFX.
Alex Sinton, senior dealer at ANZ, said investors were still hungry for the New Zealand dollar and exporters were possibly under-covered.
Talk of people starting to fix mortgage interest rates may also have a positive influence on the kiwi dollar.
The yield at the long end of the New Zealand interest rate curve may rise if there is a flood of people fixing mortgage rates as banks seek to protect themselves. The higher yield will attract investors to the New Zealand dollar, Sinton said.

A NSW Supreme Court judge has refused a parental request for a terminally ill baby to be placed on a mechanical ventilator, in a case he described as "one of the saddest'' imaginable.
The nine-month-old baby, known only as Mohammed, is severely brain-damaged, deaf and blind.
Doctors at The Children's Hospital at Westmead, where he has been treated since the age of two months, believe he has only weeks or months to live.
Mohammed's parents filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court just before Christmas seeking an order compelling medical staff to treat their son by means of mechanical ventilation.
The procedure sends oxygen to a patient's lungs through a tube to alleviate breathing difficulties.
At the time, the baby was being given oxygen via a non-invasive machine.
During an emergency hearing held at the hospital on December 21, Mohammed's mother and father, described by Justice Peter Garling as "model parents'', said their son should be given any treatment that could help him breathe.
They said he would then have a chance to resist, or better cope with, his other illnesses.
They said Mohammed had survived the nine months of his life because he was a "fighter'' and, if given the chance, he would continue to fight for his health and life for as long as possible.
Mohammed's doctors submitted it was not in the baby's best interests to be placed on a ventilator, which they described as an invasive procedure.
They argued that since Mohammed's condition was terminal, the risks associated with ventilation and the pain and distress it would cause significantly outweighed any benefit Mohammed would receive.
Instead, they said he should be given pain relief and palliative care.
In a judgment handed down on Christmas Eve, Justice Garling found placing Mohammed on a mechanical ventilator would not cure his condition, nor play any role in a better outcome.
"Mohammed's life is to be measured in the short term,'' Justice Garling said, in refusing to grant the parents' application.
"He should not be subjected to pain and discomfort for the remainder of his life by being placed on mechanical ventilation from which he will not be weaned.''
"The present case is one of the saddest which can be imagined,'' he said.

Central Government Coming for YOU Next?
August 17, 2015
To paraphrase the late German pastor Martin Niemöller, who will be left to speak up when the Central Government comes for you?
Our own Central Government is inexorably coming for us, dividing us group by group, and will continue to do so until someone speaks up. State and local governments are not far behind. Government revenues are at historic highs at all levels and continue to grow, yet there is never enough tax money to satiate the leviathan. The 175 government taxes and fees divert our money from the chosen uses of producers for redistribution to others and have less and less to do with the common good and more with financing the power plays of the elites in government.
They have come for the hearts and minds of our children by using our own tax money to coerce public schools into adopting the Common Core Curriculum. Those who do not cooperate will not only have "federal" money withheld, but suffer the punishment of school closings through selective application of No Child Left Behind punishments. Those who cooperate are offered waivers on the sole authority of the Secretary of Education, though the law does not grant him that authority.
They have come for those on Medicare by taking more than $500 million to redistribute elsewhere in the Affordable Care Act, to go with its plethora of new and additional taxes. Seniors will soon find it much more difficult to get everything from cataract surgery to joint replacement unless they have the means to pay for it themselves. All of our medical and financial information is now consolidated for review by the Central Government and the corrupt IRS has been made the bully-boy enforcer for a program that is not only unaffordable, but is premised on providing less care and choice. Though there are no provisions in the law to allow it, about 1500 politically connected organizations and companies have been given waivers from the onerous ACA.
They have come for your energy supply by moving to eliminate low cost hydrocarbon fuels, creating shortages and regulating producers out of business. As a result, our automobile and heating fuel prices have doubled, food prices are twice as high and we refuse to allow ourselves to be energy independent despite having some of the largest energy reserves on the planet. Energy policy is driven by politics and ideology rather than observed empirical evidence as we cling to the mistaken notion that human activity is altering the planetary climate for the worse.
The war on coal energy has not only driven up electricity prices, but is forcing industry out of business. The Ormet aluminum plant is one of the most recent victims. The irony is that less industrial utilization of electricity will drive up all of our monthly bills as utilities will raise household rates to offset the loss of industrial customer revenues. Even worse, sixteen coal-fired plants that could have been supplying Ormet with low-cost power were closed in Ohio last year alone. Dozens more went cold across the nation; most conveniently sited near coal supplies.
Not only is there a war on coal by our Central Government and its controlled-entity agencies, but it is clear that natural gas is in the crosshairs, as illustrated by the recent nomination (and fortunate withdrawal) of the radical, Ron Binz to head the Federal Energy Regulatory Agency. His avowed goal was to end natural gas utilization by 2050.
And let us not forget the ongoing ethanol debacle. Our Central Government requires a 10% ethanol blend in gasoline, despite its negative impact on energy use; it takes more energy to produce that it can ever save. A proposed disastrous increase to a 15% blend was only barely averted. We are still unnecessarily using nearly half our corn crop for this debacle and there is no end in sight.
They have come for the already shrinking American middle class by limiting economic development and opportunity, slowing economic growth, raising taxes and assuring that most new jobs are low-wage and/or less than full-time. The doppelganger of easy student loans and a lack of jobs has produced a generation of young people mired in debt that cannot even be erased by bankruptcy. Folded into the ACA and taken over by the Central Government, the program has been turned over to more than 100 collection organizations with the power to unilaterally amend repayment schedules, or cancel debts for the politically favored.
We have a growing $17 trillion debt and at least another $90 trillion in unfunded liabilities and we continue to lose economic ground every day. I don't know where all this will end, but economists always remind us that if things cannot go on like this forever, they won't.
Perhaps one indicator occurred in Washington, DC recently when several dozen of our nation's greatest and toughest generation were shut out of the WWII memorial. With actions that spoke more loudly than words, they simply brushed aside the barricades-----and all the Central Government nonsense they symbolized-----and went on with their planned mission.
Maybe that same generation that gave so much and righted an out-of-kilter world so many years ago will again be the ones to speak up for us and once more lead us back onto the path of rational national values, prosperity and opportunity for the next generation.
They stood for us then; it's our turn now.

According to the university, Penn State's Lunar Lion team is the only university-led team in the Google Lunar XPrize competition. The competition is organized by the XPrize Foundation
and sponsored by Google. More than 30 privately funded teams from
around the world are competing for $40 million in prizes. To win, a
team must safely land a craft on the moon, transmit images back to
Earth, travel 500 meters to another location on the moon and then
transmit images again. The competition deadline is December 31, 2015.
Penn State's Lunar Lion team is led by Michael Paul, director of Space Systems Initiatives for the university's Applied Research Laboratory.
The team includes more than 80 Penn State students from a variety of
disciplines. With this crowdfunding campaign, the team aims to raise
$406,536 to help design and build a prototype of its moonlander. Paul believes this moon landing will be another "Apollo moment" and that it
will "launch a new age of space science and exploration," he said in a
prepared statement.
According to information on the Lunar Lion
site, the team began planning the Lunar Lion mission in January 2013
and intends to complete its mission planning and lander prototyping
phase by July of this year. From July 2014 to January 2015, the team
will continue to develop the lander's flight system and test the
prototype. From February to September 2015, they will conduct final
flight system checks and prepare for launch. From September to November
2015, they will set up the operations center and prepare for launch,
and then from December 2015 to January 2016, mission control will
conduct flight operations.
Further information about Penn State's Lunar Lion project can be found on the university's site.

Returns true if the request's "X-Requested-With" header contains "XMLHttpRequest". (The Prototype Javascript library sends this header with every Ajax request.)
# File actionpack/lib/action_controller/request.rb, line 89 def xml_http_request? not /XMLHttpRequest/i.match(@env['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']).nil? end
Cross browser issues
In jQuery you need to set the AJAX request headers as:
beforeSend: function(xhr) {xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "text/javascript");}
But we found that IE and Safari sends headers like: HTTP_ACCEPT=>"text/html, /, text/javascript", with the javascript header last so this mucks up the respond_to block as it will always enter the first block (usually format.html) and never reach your format.js block.
def fix_xml_http_request if request.xml_http_request? request.format = :js end end
RE: Cross browser issues
In response to subblue's note below, you should bear in mind that there may be circumstances where you want an AJAX request to enter the format.html block and not format.js.
When you're returning HTML content, for example.
By using jQuery's .ajaxSetup method in such an indiscriminate way (applying it by default to all ajax requests), you make it harder to keep track of what's returning what.
A better alternative is to use it as a stored function;
function set_content_type_to_javascript(xhr) { xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "text/javascript"); }
and call this from within your .ajax requests when required;
$.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "/some/url", dataType: "script", beforeSend: function(xhr) { set_content_type_to_javascript(xhr) }, …etc… });

There are some bible passages that a lot of Christians either 1) are completely unaware of, 2) were purposely sheltered from, 3) deny its existence, or 4) already have an excuse involving context, and "you'd have to read the rest of the bible to understand it".
I'm talking about passages that involve everything from violence and vengeance to blatant hypocrisy and contradiction. All from a religion that claims to preach understanding and love (which was never true). It's all very interesting.
I'm going to share some of my personal favourites, and it would be great if everyone could share theirs too.
Slavery is Dandy
Ephesians 6:5-9
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
(Christianity is very much about being aware of the suffering in this life, and through suffering you earn a better life next time. It really just seems like a way of controlling the people below you, and making them content with the state of their life, by giving them false hope for the future. Christopher Hitchens wrote a book about Mother Theresa along the same lines.)
Women < Men
1 Corinthians 14: 34-35
34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
1 Timothy 2:11-12
11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.
1 Peter 3:1-2
1 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29
"If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives."
Matthew 10:32-39
32 "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.
34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn
"'a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'
37 "Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
(If you love your family more than you love god, you are unworthy of his love and therefore need to worship him and seek forgiveness. Interesting cyclical relationship.)
Self Hatred
Luke 14:25-26
25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple.
Just Plain Ridiculous
Ezekiel 23: 19-20
Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions.
Genesis 6: 1, 2-4
God's sons come down from Heaven to have sex with Earth women.
Psalm 137:9
Happy shall he be who seizes your infants and smashes them against the rocks.
Exodus 34:14
'For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.' (Jealousy is one of the seven deadly sins.)
Deuteronomy 23:1
No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.
Ezekiel 4:12,13
"And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. And the Lord said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread....Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare they bread forthwith."
Numbers 23:22
God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
And my all-time favourite: Revelation 12:3-4
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
There comes a point when one has to realize that the bible is a social commentary on what superstitious, uneducated people happened to believe at one point in history. Stories made up to teach lessons, to entertain, and to control. I will even go so far as to say that perhaps there was a man named Jesus. But do I think he was the son of a god? No. Was he the result of a virgin birth? No. Did he perform miracles? Certainly not. Did he help people every now and then? Sure. But so does every decent human being.

More for ridiculous:
2 Kings 2:23-24
And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
That's my number one eye-roller.
Nice! This a keeper. Thanks for the post.
The Skeptic's Annotated Bible is a GREAT source for this kind of stuff ... or anything other kind of material you want regarding the bible, quran or book of mor(m)on.
Cool Loren - will check out that link.
ignorance is bliss, huh Melinda! have a great day.
Good riddance is right booklover - you don't need friends like that.
I like this list because it includes mainly New Testament quotes. A LOT of xians will cop out on Old Testament quotes (well... except for the one's about homosexuality!)
Yes, they will say, "Aw, that's O.T. stuff. Jesus didn't emphasize that kind of thing." Then, they will quote Saul-Paul the Tarsan misogynist and self-hating homophobe as if he got his ideas from The Nazz. Not so. None of the canonicals has anything to say about homosexuality. And you have to wonder why a guy would dis men who like men when he himself never married and was never seen outside the company of a dozen guys. Not only that, but because prostitution/adultery and homosex were both, in the O.T., abominations subject to capital punishment in the form of stoning, why would Jesus embrace the Magdelene and throw gays under the ox cart? If he'd ask the stoners (for want of a better term, mind you) if they were so without sin they could honestly throw the first stone, isn't it likely he had to suspect at least three or four out of a hundred were girly boys? (I say 3-4% only because Kinsey claimed 10% of all humans were gay or lesbian. Then began a systematic effort on the part of homophobes to lower the estimation. Why would God put so many on earth if he didn't like them. Or, if he didn't like them, wouldn't it be capricious of him to condemn them after creating them? The dogmatists never catch on to the contradictions, do they?)
I always heard Paul was a self loathing homosexual. I think he is actually the only writer in the NT who degrades homosexuality. I think the guy had a personality disorder.
My diagnosis for Jesus? Bipolar with narcissistic tendencies.

Volkswagen's Union Defeat
Workers prove to be smarter than their bosses in Tennessee.
The decision by workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee to reject the United Auto Workers is the best news so far this year for the American economy. Even with Volkswagen management on its side, the union that combined with CEOs to nearly ruin U.S. car makers couldn't persuade a majority voting in a secret ballot to let it become their agent to bargain with the foreign-owned company.
This wasn't merely one more failed union organizing attempt. The UAW and its chief Bob King spent years working toward this...

Can you spot the brand this loveable mouse represents?
Disney's Mickey Mouse is a trailblazer in many ways. He appeared in one of the very first cartoons made with synchronized sound – "Steamboat Willie" (1928), which was Mickey's debut film. Fifty years later (1978), Mickey became the first cartoon character to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Exhibition of Yousuf Karsh Photographs Opens at WAG
Exhibition of Yousuf Karsh Photographs Opens at WAG
WINNIPEG, MB., September 16, 2009: Winston Churchill. Pierre Trudeau. Audrey Hepburn. Mohammed Ali. Albert Einstein. There will be a lot of famous faces hanging out at the Winnipeg Art Gallery when the exhibition Yousuf Karsh: Regarding Heroes opens on September 26. It continues until January 3.
If you were anybody in the 20th century, eventually you were photographed by Yousuf Karsh. Armenian in background, Karsh fled ethnic turmoil in Turkey by immigrating to Canada in 1925. He eventually settled in Ottawa in the early 1930s, where he established a photographic portrait studio. Karsh went on to achieve world renown for the way he interplayed lights and darks in creating iconic character studies of Helen Keller, Marian Anderson, Ernest Hemingway, Grey Owl, and Mohammed Ali to name only a few. This exhibition, celebrating the centenary of Karsh's birth, publically brings together for the first time 100 gelatin silver prints, favourites from his personal collection.
Yousuf Karsh: Regarding Heroes has immense drawing power according to WAG Director Stephen D. Borys. "People are always fascinated by portraits, particularly of those who have achieved greatness and acclaim in their respective fields. The people represented in this exhibition are heroes for their contributions in science, politics, medicine, the arts, athletics. Theirs are the names that resounded throughout the 20th century and still echo today, inspiring a new generation to greatness."
"The show provides a critical re-evaluation of Karsh's artistic development," says Andrew Kear, Associate Curator, Historical Canadian Art. "It explores his optimistic notion of genuine heroism and his admiration for individuals of high achievement. While styles in portraiture changed after World War II, Karsh's images continue to profoundly impact how significant historical figures are understood and remembered today."
Yousuf Karsh: Regarding Heroes has been organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and curated by David Travis. Exhibition tour organized by Curatorial Assistance, Pasadena, California.

I can never quite get the streak free shine on my windshield from using Windex.
Is there another product that works better?

I can never quite get the streak free shine on my windshield from using Windex.
Is there another product that works better?
Clean with soap and water, rinse clear, then dry with a microfiber cloth. The key is the microfiber cloth.
I clean with standard glass cleaner, then dry with newspaper.
I personally use Stoner Invisible Glass wipes (good for inside and outside). However, as mfr suggested, water + soap, rinse, and then microfiber will work just as well.
Most cleaning solutions will get you 95% of the way there no problem; if you want that extra 5% you need a good microfiber cloth.
I wash as normal with the rest of the vehicle, then rinse with a weak vinegar/water solution (soft water preferably). Then dry with chamois leather.
Wash in the shade. If you do not clean off the soap/cleaner before it dries, streaks will appear. Also use a quality glass cleaner. As mentioned, "Invisible Glass" is a great one that I use and don't have streaks with.
Also be sure there is no wax on the window. Some car wash soaps have integrated waxes in them. They are not really a good replacement for a real wax application and they tend to "wax" the windows as well.

POTTSTOWN - Instead of searching out Presidents Day sales at the local supermarket, why not make plans to spend Presidents Day with someone who really knows something about U.S. presidents - our first president in particular?
That opportunity presents itself Monday at 7:15 p.m. when noted presidential scholar and Pulitzer Prize winning author Gordon S. Wood gives a presentation at The Hill School's Alumni Chapel.
Wood is this year's David R. Dougherty Senior Teaching Fellowship of American History speaker.

According to his faculty page at Brown, where he has taught since 1969, Wood is: 'the author of the 'Creation of the American Republic, 1776-1787' (1969), which won the Bancroft Prize and the John H. Dunning Prize in 1970, and 'The Radicalism of the American Revolution' (1992), which won the Pulitzer Prize for History and the Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize in 1993.'
'The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin' (2004) was awarded the Julia Ward Howe Prize by the Boston Authors Club in 2005. 'Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different' was published in 2006. 'The Purpose of the Past: Reflections on the Uses of History' was published in 2008. His book in the Oxford History of the United States, 'Empire of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic, 1789-1815' was published in October 2009.
Born in Concord, Mass. in 1933, Wood received his bachelor's degree from Tufts, his master's degree and his doctorate from Harvard.
According to his curriculum vitae, Wood has taught at Harvard, William and Mary, University of Michigan, Northwestern and Brown universities.
Wood reviews in the New York Review of Books and The New Republic. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.

Soaps, pirates, soldiers: It's summertime TV
Summer television is no longer a vast rerun wasteland.
Although most of your favorite network shows have, indeed, gone off into hibernation, there is plenty of fresh fare coming your way, including new scripted programs and reality series.
Here's a look at summer's 10 best TV bets:
_"Hidden Palms": Kevin Williamson ("Dawson's Creek") is still doing the teen soap thing with this freaky drama that follows a troubled youngster (Taylor Handley, formerly the much-despised Oliver on "The O.C.") who moves to Palm Springs after seeing his father commit suicide. Once there, he meets all sorts of quirky people, some of whom are hiding dark secrets. Premiered at 8 p.m. Wednesday, The CW.
_"Pirate Master": It's days of plunder as Jack Sparrow meets "Survivor" in this latest offering from reality czar Mark Burnett. The show has 16 contestants going on a high-seas adventure aboard a vintage square-rigger, where they live as buccaneers and travel around a Caribbean island in search of hidden treasure worth $1 million. 8 p.m. Thursday, CBS.
_"Army Wives": Kim Delaney ("NYPD Blue") stars in this ensemble drama about the struggles, dreams and friendships of a diverse group of women - and one man - who form an unlikely bond based on one common theme: They all love a soldier who could be gone at any moment. Filmed on location in Charleston, S.C., the show also features Sally Pressman, Brigid Brannagh and Brian McNamara. 10 p.m. June 3, Lifetime.
_"Tyler Perry's House of Payne": This new comedy dabbles in the lives of a multigenerational working-class family forced by circumstances to live under one roof. Life gets a whole lot more complicated when it's discovered that one family member - a mother to two children - is addicted to crack. Created by Perry, the show stars Allen Payne, LaVan Davis and Cassie Davis. 9 p.m. June 6, TBS.
_"John From Cincinnati": There's just no replacing "Deadwood," but fans of that remarkable series may want to follow its creator, David Milch, to this offbeat drama. It focuses on a family of dysfunctional pro surfers whose reputation has been eroded by years of "bad luck, addiction and hubris." Just when things look like they can't get any worse, a mysterious stranger arrives in town to give new meaning to their existence. 10 p.m. June 10, HBO.
_"Meadowlands": Dark dramas set in the suburbs are now old hat, but we'll give this one a chance. It follows the Brogan family members, who, as part of a witness protection program, move into a bucolic neighborhood to begin a new life. Picturesque and crime-free, Meadowlands appears to be a suburban paradise, but the Brogans soon realize that it's not so easy to escape their past. David Morrissey and Lucy Cohu star. 10 p.m. June 17, Showtime.
_"Age of Love": This new dating reality series attempts to answer the question: Does age really matter when it comes to matters of the heart? Australian tennis pro Mark Philippoussis, 31, is given a full house of women to choose from. But what separates this show from "The Bachelor" is that the women are divided into two groups: Those in their 20s and those in their 40s. Mark Consuelos hosts this intriguing social experiment. 9 p.m. June 18, NBC.
_"Heartland": Fans of the dearly departed "Everwood" will be pleased to learn that there is still a place in prime time for Treat Williams - and that he's still in the medical field. Williams plays a pioneering organ-transplant surgeon who tends to take risks other doctors wouldn't in order to save lives. He also has a volatile relationship with his ex-wife (Kari Matchett), who happens to be an organ- donor coordinator. 10 p.m. June 18, TNT.
_"Damages": Glenn Close, who dazzled us during a guest run on "The Shield," returns to television in this legal thriller. Close plays Patty Hewes, one of the nation's most revered and reviled attorneys - a woman who has a ruthless, win-at-all-costs attitude that doesn't sit well with the bright young protege (Rose Byrne) she hand-picked to be her first-year associate. 10 p.m. July 24, FX.
_"Saving Grace": Holly Hunter makes her television series debut in this unconventional crime drama. She plays a fast-living, self-destructive Oklahoma City detective who, while driving drunk one night, hits a man on the side of the road. It's then that she meets an angel named Earl (Leon Rippy), who attempts to help get her life back in order. 10 p.m. July 18, TNT.
Here's a rundown of some other shows, new and established, that are airing this summer:
_"On the Lot": A reality series intent on finding the next great movie director. Premiered May 22. 8 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays, Fox.
_"So You Think You Can Dance": Young wannabes compete to see who has all the right moves. Premiered May 24. 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fox.
_"The Simple Life Goes to Camp": More silly high jinks as Paris and Nicole work as camp counselors. Premiered May 28. 10 p.m. Sundays, E!
_"The Starter Wife": Debra Messing stars as a Hollywood spouse trying to rebound from a divorce in this six-part series. 9 p.m. Thursday, USA.
_"Creature Comforts": "Wallace & Gromit" creators put the comments of real people into the mouths of animated animals. 8 p.m. June 4, CBS.

when the midnight hunger pangs kick in….here are some healthy snack ideas
Late Night – Midnight Snacking….can be hazardous to your waistline. Eat early, eat slow and eat when you aren't stressed out. But if the late night munchies are calling out to you and you cannot ignore them, here are some great snacks to dive into:
1) Plain Popcorn (without the butter)- has just 31calories a cup. Make your own at home with store-bought kernels and avoid the calorie-dense microwave packed versions.
2) In-Shell Pistachios – Possibly due to the fact that by the time you've removed those delicious pistachios from their shell, you are ready to hit the sack and have consumed 41% fewer calories than if they were out of their shells already.
3) Frozen Grapes – They have a creamy texture making it the perfect treat when you're on the hunt for something cold and sweet.
4) String Cheese – Not just for kids! Low fat string cheese pack protein to help satisfy those cravings and peeling them strip by strip mentally gives your mind a satisfied feeling. The Syrian String Cheese called "Jibneh mshallaleh" is an excellent replacement to the "Western" version if you enjoy it! Get it at your local carrefour or union co-op store.
5) Kiwi – These fuzzy fruits are the ultimate snooze snack as researched by Taiwanese scientists. Have one before bedtime and you might snooze 45 minutes faster with better sleep.
6) Baby Carrots – These bite-sized gems that pack a crunch and are sweet while being loaded with vitamin A to improve vision, immunity and bone health are the perfect treat. Sure, you can dip them in hummus too – just don't go for a whole bowl as it's close to midnight!
These tips were compiled from Pilates Style and The Hundred Wellness Center – www.thehundred.ae

Please bear with me...
I know it's been rather quiet round here recently, but there is a (fairly) good reason. I'm in the throes of creating a sparkly new and hopefully less cobbled-together and more focused site for myself and it's taking up all my internet-time. Link to follow as soon as it's ready!

On Tuesday I found time to pop along to this month's Art Macabre drawing salon at Cass Art Islington. The theme was A Midsummer Night's Scream...
Either I mistake your shape and making quite;
Or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite
Call'd Robin Goodfellow: are not you he
That frights the maidens of the villagery;
Skim milk, and sometimes labour in the quern
And bootless make the breathless housewife churn;
And sometime make the drink to bear no barm;
Mislead night-wanderers, laughing at their harm?
Those that Hobgoblin call you and sweet Puck,
You do their work, and they shall have good luck:
Are not you he?

If I'm not feeling very inspired, or just want to warm up my drawing fingers, I like to open up Pinterest and just draw the first few things that catch my eye. Hence this alarmed llama, terrifying clown-child, man vs chicken selection.
