Instant Gas rmv frm stmac
Doctor Answers (1) on Instant Gas rmv frm stmac
If gas is a problem for you, foods that might make symptoms worse include beans, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Fatty foods also may be a problem for some people. Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas.
Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better. But if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines.
Take care with dairy products. If you're lactose intolerant, try substituting yogurt for milk. Or use an enzyme product to help break down lactose. Consuming small amounts of milk products or combining them with other foods also may help. In some cases, though, you may need to stop eating dairy foods completely. If so, be sure to get enough protein, calcium and B vitamins from other sources.
Drink plenty of liquids. Try to drink plenty of fluids every day. Water is best. Alcohol and beverages that contain caffeine stimulate your intestines and can make diarrhea worse, and carbonated drinks can produce gas.
Exercise regularly. Exercise helps relieve depression and stress, stimulates normal contractions of your intestines, and can help you feel better about yourself. If you've been inactive, start slowly and gradually increase the amount of time you exercise. If you have other medical problems, check with your doctor before starting an exercise program.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (39 votes).
In short: get to know waltham forest In full: i thought if im going to do a half marathon where best then in my back yard. If i ever wanted to know what a place looked like then probably doing a half marathon is it. They kept the hills as much in your favour as possible but there are some still some long climbs.Running along busy high streets and two busy under passes across the north circular. The bit to watch out for in mile 10 is friday hill. This is not for the faint hearted and hopefully you will of practiced oyur hil runs before ahnd, Organisation is good and it ran. The police were at hand to close off major roads for us to cross and plenty of staf at hand for questios. most of the marshalls were encourageing but not much of a turn out from the crowed. a good number of tiolets to hand and emergancy staff and everything was well marked. the good ie bag was reasonable. You get a t-shirt and a medal. Times took a while the following day to appear on the website. they kept going on about the photos but i checked the site and mine wasn't taken so maybe they should be a bit more thorough before they promote that too much.Date of review: August 1, 2013
In full: This was my 2nd half and a bit of a shocker after running in Brighton prior, which remains my PB! looking forward to managing 2 hours or less next year instead of 2 hrs 12! Contrary to prior bad press I think the marshalls made the day,were well organised and kept me going for the last 3 miles.Date of review: April 11, 2013
In short: An old-school race, aimed at locals and making sport visible in the community again.In full: The initial attraction of the Waltham Forest Half Marathon was participating in a sporting event in my local area (well, it was the closest half marathon to Haringey anyway...). I knew it was going to be small, I knew it was going to be minimal, and I knew that the route was going to be pretty urban. I had also read the race reviews from previous years and knew that the organisers had faced issues with marshaling, directing runners and managing busy roads. With this in mind I was surprised to enjoy the race as much as I did and to run such a fast time.The organisation of the event seemed very smooth to me. There were no panics or confusions at the start, marshals were in abundance along the course and they shouted very clear directions to all of us we ran past. The roads were not closed, but marshals were equiped with lollypop-style signs and police helped out on bicycles to hold the roads up along the way. 4 (maybe 5) water stations were in place along the way and pretty perfectly spaced out in my opinion. It was a very no-frills affair, but I can't think of anything extra that I would have wanted there.The support from local residents along the way was fabulous and the marshals' enthusiasm was tireless and appreciated. Highlights include the school children who dedicated their Sunday morning to cheering on their fundraising teachers and parents in Walthamstow, the family who handed out Haribo, and the marshal on Hainault Road who woke residents up with her cheering and made them join in the support.A fabulous race and a fabulous addition to the local community calendar. I'm already looking forward to next year's.Date of review: April 10, 2013
In short: Friendly but painfulIn full: I really enjoyed my run and liked the scenery. Some standard street running along busy roads but seen worse. Police were on hand to stop traffic at busy junctions as this is purely pavement running. Staff were friendly and helpful and had no issue. This is however a very hilly course and no one is about to break any Pb'sDate of review: April 9, 2013
In short: A great half-marathon getting better every year.Date of review: April 9, 2013
In short: PB Potential, something a bit differentIn full: I entered this race as it visited all major landmarks that I grew up around as a kid, so I traveled from Devon to specifically do this race. Marshalling was great and plenty of water stations. Bit weird running on pavements around people but once you got going it was fine and most people moved over for you. The first half was down hill and flat and because of that the 2nd half knocked me a bit and I ended up slower than I was hoping for. But for me it was a great race. The goody bag was lovely, medal, t shirt, food, pen etc.Had a great day and I hope they bring the 10k route back as I would like to do that.Date of review: April 9, 2013
In short: Good Local RaceIn full: Before the race I was worried about the fact that this was a pavement race with no closed roads, but in reality it turned out to be amazingly smooth with police and marshals closing junctions as runners approached with no need to slow down.Its not a sightseeing run by any means, but the variation in surroundings means that you're never bored.I would definitely recommend this to anybody fairly local to the borough.Date of review: April 9, 2013
In short: Very friendly race. Challenging course so pace it well! Marshals enthusiasm is outstanding.Date of review: April 9, 2013
In short: A very different half marathon - an organisational triumphIn full: The race route appealed to me because of family connections however I'm not so sure the urban streets would be that attractive for others. I did worry at times that I'd take a wrong turn / run down the wrong side of a street but in fairness there were a remarkable number of marshals and police on bikes to assist. There were several pockets of enthusiastic supporters, the race is more deserving of a higher turnout. Crossing sidestreets is an unavoidable danger but unless you are hellbent on having an uninterrupted run then I would recommend the route. The first half is mostly downhill and although there are no great hills it does get you towards the end. The mile markers were pretty hopeless however not really a problem if you have a Garmin.Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: Great atmosphere with a personal touchIn full: Great day. It was interesting running through the streets and everyone was very supportive. Marshaling was great and everyone was super friendly. I ran a PB and came 3rd which I would never be able to do in bigger races so I think this is great as a smaller and more ersonal half.Date of review: April 8, 2013

In 1968, Bill and Kathy Collins purchased 54 acresof grapevines in northern Napa. The vines were mostly planted to Zinfandel, and many weren't producing any grapes; the couple replaced them with Bordeaux grape varieties and began sourcing Cabernet from other vineyard owners in the valley. In between working as an electronics executive, Bill Collins transported grapes to his Los Altos home and started making some of Napa's benchmark Cabernets. By 1979, the operation had grown to a point where he was able to build Conn Creek's present winery in Rutherford.
Today Conn Creek is owned by Stimson Lane, and their facility on the Silverado Trail also produces the wines for Villa Mt. Eden. They still make some of the most distinctive Cabernet in California, both from estate vineyards and fruit purchased from nearly all of Napa's 16 diverse American Viticultural Areas. The winemaking is in the capable hands of Mike McGrath, a graduate of U.C. Davis who spent 13 years in Argentina before returning home.
Conn Creek recently sent me samples of their current vintage releases. I rooted around in my cellar, found a bottle of their 1991 Cabernet, and decided to taste it side by side with the 2009---a highly unscientific comparison, but one that proved to be interesting.
The 2009 ($25) had a deeply saturated purple color and a fresh nose infused with scents of cedar, blackberry and new oak. It was tart and full-bodied in the mouth, with good acidity and delicious flavors of black cherry and cassis; the finish was long, with slightly drying tannins and echoes of dark berries and grape skins. It was large-scaled but drinkable, particularly with steak or lamb.
By contrast, the 1991 had a ruby-purple center and crimson rim, but displayed no undue signs of age. There was a family resemblance on the nose, with aromas of cedar and slightly stewed red fruits. It was medium-bodied and compact in the mouth, with the fruit just starting to fade but still prominent, along with the ghost of a very good acid structure. It finished long and dry, with mouthwatering flavors of red and black cherries. Even allowing for the fact that the bottle had been perfectly stored since release, it was a fascinating glimpse into the ability of Napa Cabernet to age gracefully.

County IDA Hosts Energy Workshop
There are many options for small businesses when it comes to saving money on energy expenses.
That was the message from Thursday's Lunch and Learn Energy Workshop. The workshop was hosted by the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency, and held at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown.
The luncheon was attended by small business representatives and nonprofit organizations from throughout the area who were there to learn the best ways to save energy.
"My experience with small business in particular is, you're working so hard to do what you have got to do for yourselves, your family, the team that requires your solid efforts every day, that you very rarely have the opportunity to invest in yourself," said Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards. "I'm proud that the county can have a role in this."
The lunch portion of the workshop was provided by Elegant Edibles. The educational portion was offered by representatives from the New York state Energy Research and Development Agency; Jamestown Board of Public Utilities; National Grid; National Fuel; and Clean Cities of Western New York.
"We're just trying to get the word out to the general public, residences, businesses and industry, for ways they can save money and make themselves more competitive and green at the same time," said Richard Dixon, CCIDA chief financial officer.
Each speaker reviewed ways to help customers save money. Some used case studies as examples of what can be done. Additionally, many encouraged participating in an energy audit, which can be done for little to no cost to customers with the help of representatives.
"The IDA worked very closely with Larry Simpson, who put up the renewchautauquacounty.org website," Dixon said. "Chautauqua County itself was a grant recipient from NYSERDA to help spread the word, so the IDA helped facilitate that with the county to get that grant so that we can do sessions like this, not only in Chautauqua County, but we've actually helped some of the surrounding counties do it as well."
The CCIDA is also planning its sixth annual Energy Conference and Expo. It will be held on Nov. 1 and 2 at Chautauqua Suites in Mayville. Additional information about the expo will be available at a later date.

Expect Facebook to Lose a Ton of Money on Instagram
But I'm beginning to wonder what in the world he is doing with Instagram. Maybe he's not doing anything. The other day a friend suggested that because it's newly acquired, CEO Kevin Systrom might still be calling the shots at the sociophoto network. (When somebody at CNBC starts using that new word, remember where you heard it first.)
I scoff at the notion of Zuckerberg not taking immediate control of Instagram, but it's apparently not all that far-fetched. I understand that's the way things rolled in the early stages of the Google (GOOG) / YouTube integration.
If Zuckerberg is saying, we're not going to interfere, keep doing what you're doing, he better channel Steve Jobs and rethink the strategy.
In the span of just over a week, Instagram or Facebook or some combination of the two made a pair of bonehead moves.
I discuss the first one -- taking full Instagram functionality away from Twitter -- in Facebook Acting Like a Twit On Instagram . TheStreet's Chris Ciaccia nicely covers the most recent bungle -- Instagram's terms-of-use snafu -- in Facebook's Instagram Catches Hell From Users on Privacy Changes .
Let's take this slowly . . . Facebook made a massive mistake making such a large bet on and apparently having so much confidence in Instagram.
Here's where I think Zuckerberg -- whether he's calling the shots or not (and he must have at least some broad oversight) -- is getting it wrong: He's putting Instagram in the same league as Facebook.
Dissing Twitter was a bold, but bad move. I explain why in the first of the two above-linked articles. And pulling a fast one on privacy doesn't fly when you're not special. Facebook can do this -- it has several times -- because it's Facebook. That's why the social network never missed a beat after the many times Zuckerberg played fast and loose with privacy.
Facebook is sticky; it's addictive. Most of its users aren't going anywhere and, for every one that does leave, several others, pets and infants included, take that spot.
When you're Facebook, you can say something really, really dumb such as:
You agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you.
And then backtrack by saying, That's not what we really meant! As is often the case, David Pogue summed up that inanity quite well in The New York Times .
Bottom line, there's not enough there there with Instagram to give it the license Facebook has to play chicken with its user base.

Skip to comments.Labor Secretary Hilda Solis Will Resign
Posted on 01/09/2013 1:26:50 PM PST by Perdogg
I'm told that Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis will step aside soon, making her the five member of the administration to leave the cabinet (or announce her deparature) since the election. Only two of these departures -- Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner -- are white and male. Lisa Jackson, who's leaving the EPA, is African-American, and Solis was the first Hispanic woman to take charge of Labor.
(Excerpt) Read more at slate.com ...
Now that she has Omama cred, she will be back to raping the Citizens of California of their last nickle.
Wow! THat would be great...but he'd just replace her with another "big" labor thug...I wouldn't put it past him to try getting Trumpka..
Only a person who writes for slate would think the most important thing about the number of cabinet officers resigning in recent days is the color of their skin.
He probably thinks he's the most colorblind person he knows.
lol...the first paragraph is so insane it's almost sublime.
Good riddance, b!tch.
Right. She has milked that US Federal Govt cow long enough,,now on to greener pastures and fatter cows.
Solis was only the first because Linda Chavez got borked.
Solis should have been the 2nd Hispanic women to be Sec of Labor.
Isn't this the way it works though - political favors paid through plumb jobs then new "payments" for the second term are expected. But I agree - glad to see this wonk go too!
Bush nominated a hispanic female but she had to withdraw because she had employed an illegal.
She will be replaced with another Communist Pig.
she will not be missed by the American Public.
...making her the five [sic] member of the administration to leave the cabinet (or announce her deparature) since the election.So, Obama gets to nominate the head of the SEIU to a cabinet level position, nice payoff.
I voted in the hope that they would all be gone. And I was 100% correct in doing so.
That's all these wannabe "JournOlists" can talk about. Any analysis or issues, policies, controversies, effects, etc. is beyond their pay grade
Maybe replace Hilda Solis with Hildabeast. Just keeping it real.
"...making her the five member of the administration to leave..."
That's from her letter, regarding her resignation, to her staff.
Killing the mining industry has reduced mine fatalities.
By the time Obama gets done, very very few industries will have any fatalities, unless you consider unemployment an industry.
I also get the impression that some just get tired after the 4 years. It is awfully demanding working at that level, even if you don't like the results.
Or if they were gay.
..change needed at the Dept so Odungo goons can deal with impending labor dispute facing longshoremen and ports due next month...original (Sept) put off till after the election.
Super-obscure reference, I know, I know...
Yeah, women worked there too and none of them complained.
She probably wants to go crawl in a bottle after seeing the UNEXPECTED job forecast.
The Obama cabinet purges are well underway. The liberal fascists are now being replaced by fascist thugs willing to use extortion, blackmail, and other conduct contrary to the Constitution to achieve their destructive ends.
No question, Obama and his thugs mean to destroy our country politically ( usurp due process and the balnce between the 3 branches), socially ( divide and conquer conflist) and economically ( borrow the economy into indebtedness that will cause war).
Whty people are blind to what Obama is doing is another matter, but lets just say Obama has a very accomplished propaganda organization. We must destroy it.
no worries, Michael Moore warming up in the bull pen
"I wouldnt put it past him to try getting Trumpka"
The horror, the horror.

GB Glace launched a new flavor of a classic ice-cream the other week, and were promptly accused of racism. The ice-creams unfortunate name is "Nogger Black" as it is a liquorice flavored version of the classic nougat-flavored "Nogger".
A couple of years ago they made a liquorice version of the 88. It had a crunchy outside, liquorice and vanilla inside and was really quite good. However, it failed to become popular and was discontinued. This year GB decided to try their luck with a liquorice version of another classic ice-cream, the nougat covered vanilla and then soft nougat center ice-cream called Nogger.
Their first mistake was to make the outside salt liquorice... Ugh! I don't think this one will be as popular as the liquorice 88, but I might be wrong. Their second mistake was to name it Nogger Black.
My guess is that with a name like that - which has an English word in it - someone was bound to recognize that if one replaces the "o" in Nogger with another vowel...... You could spell out a word considered quite nasty in English and not used at all, unless you are a rapper.
I don't know what was wrong with the 100% Swedish language names like "Nogger lakrits" or perhaps "Nogger svart", but they were clearly rejected in favor of the cooler-sounding "Nogger Black" which is getting GB into deep deep trouble.
Soon the Ice cream giant was slammed for "racist" ads as the Center Against Racism issued a press release denouncing the new ice-cream. Perhaps the Center Against Racism has very little to do.
"We're not critical of the color of the ice cream or the name 'Black' but the whole concept of the advertisment," said Amina Ek of the Center Against Racism to Svenska Dagbladet.
The ad itself features a heart drawn in white 'chalk' on a blackboard type background with the words "Nogger + lakrits = sant!" (Nogger + liquorice = true) inside, mimicking the hearts drawn by young couples everywhere. I've tried really hard to figure out what is offensive about this ads "whole concept", shown below. Remember it's not the color of the liquorice, nor is it the name that offends according to Ms Ek's quote above. Hmmmm.
No sooner had the storm over the liquorice Nogger calmed down when the Anti Discrimination Bureau in Malmö Aftonbladet (Swedish only) decided to up the anti and attack the classic GB ice-cream called "88" because it is clearly connected to Nazis. Yes, Nazis.
See, "88" stands for "Heil Hitler" in modern Nazi-parlance apparently, as "H" is the 8th letter of the alphabet. Nevermind that the 88 ice-cream is much older than the newly invented code-language for Nazis, and nevermind that hardly anyone knows the 88 code unless they are a modern Nazi (not even the English version of the Wikipedia, though the Swedish version does). According to a spokesperson from GB the 88 first appeared way back in 1964.
Right, so now I'm confused... If the old 88:an is a Nazi ice-cream, and Nogger Black is a racist ice-cream what did last years liquorice 88 really mean?
For the ice-cream nostalgic here's a little history linked to the old posters.
In 1973 this ice-cream price-board shows the "88:an". 88:an means "the eighty-eight".
In 1975 88:an was joined by a strawberry flavored friend, called 89:an. The 89 wasn't quite as popular and was discontinued a couple of years later.
"Nogger" a hip 70s slang way of saying "nougat" appeared in 1978 and has been a fail-safe summer ice-cream hit ever since. The Nogger features a crispy nougat outside, vanilla ice-cream inside and a soft nougat center that melts in your mouth. Now considered a classic, Nogger is not likely to be discontinued.
What was most amusing was the comment by the chairman of the Center Against Racism: (roughly paraphrased) "There is a chance that GB is not racist".
Do not forget that this ridiculous organisation is funded by the government. So much for the importance of healthcare, education and public safety.
There's only one word that can describe this circus: nyhetstorka.
How many Swedish adgrunts are there? I have a feeling you guys are getting more out of this insane story than I am. kgeiger, what is nyhetestorka?For us English speaking folk that "Nogger" name just looks crazy.
I'm more shocked by the ice cream's flavor....licorice? That's nasty!
Well. I don´t think this is total stupidity - more of a very frustrated PR-stunt by Center Against Racism. How come? Well - a week ago the media-hunt was on the organizations inability to do anything and there was a discussion about quarrels and stuff inside the board of CAR.
So, it seem rather as a bad PR-stunt by Amina Eek and the others to make the money come from the government.
I'm offended by the obvious
vagina in the 88's bite.
Hmm... I was seeing more along the lines of a tasty mocha lipstick kiss in that first picture of the 88... if it's an icy nazi vagina instead, well... then I'm staying the hell away from my grocer's freezer.
I'm beginning to feel oppressed by your comments on salt licorice. I may have to contact the Association of United Licorice Lovers and ask that they write a press release and hold a press conference about this abominable treatment... And if the timing is right, you know that they'll get lots of unwarranted media space
After all the publicity, GB has decided to launch a new flavor of ice cream cone. The "CoConut Cone".
Lucky for their hidden agenda that the Swedish language uses more K's than C's...
This story won't have a happy ending ever. It doesn't matter how long you've called nougat "Nogger" once one idiot calls it a racist thing to say, it becomes a racist thing to say.
Nogger is most certainly racist.
However, I have it on good authority that "Nogga" is OK.
Of course they are. If they sold either or, okay, coincidence. But the same company is pushing Nogger AND 88
Why would a very large ice cream distributor with zero history of racism in its seventy plus years all of a sudden drop a huge double whammy of white power on an unsuspecting public? Also this ad is ten years old.

About Magicscreen
I cannot find a screen protector for my device on your website. How do I know if you do/will sell screen protectors for it?
Please visit our Coming Soon page.
All upcoming products that we have confirmed we will be selling are listed there, and you can sign up for an email notification of when the product you are waiting for becomes available.
If the product you would like is not listed, please complete our Product Request form and we will discuss it in our weekly product range meeting (your requests do genuinely get heard).
What is the difference between your Magicscreen and Easyscreen screen protectors?
Magicscreen uses the 'static-cling' screen protector format that most of the world's leading screen protector brands use. It is the most commonly used format of screen protector by a very large margin.
Our protectors do not use adhesive to stick to the screen, they use an electrostatically charged silicon layer that sucks/secures the protector to the device screen using an 'electrostatic-cling' produced vacuum.
This is how our protectors can be easily removed without residue/markings being left on the device screen.
Easyscreen is our 'next generation' screen protector for large screen devices, and the result of many months of research.
Unlike 'regular' format screen protectors like Magicscreen, Easyscreen does not stick to the viewable area of the screen. This means that that air or dust bubbles will never occur on the viewable screen area during the application of Easyscreen.
Adhesive is only used around the Easyscreen border, which is coloured to ensure that any air trapped under it is not visible.
This colouring of the border has allowed us to offer a range of ten different colours.
Due to the way that it works, Easyscreen can only be produced for certain devices, primarily large screen devices.
Due to the Laws of Physics, Easyscreen can also only be produced in our Matte Clear edition. It is not possible to create a Crystal Clear edition Easyscreen.
What is the difference between your Crystal Clear and Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) screen protector editions?
The main difference is the surface texture:
- Our Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) edition has a frosted matte surface which reduces screen glare.
It also feels really nice to touch (although it may take you a few hours to get used to), nicer than the regular screen texture in our opinion.
Our Matte Clear edition is very popular in particular for tablet devices, as it greatly aids reading the screen outside in sunny conditions.
Matte material protectors do produce a slight pixellation of the screen, as this is the natural effect created by the Matte (anti-glare) frosted texture. It is simply an unavoidable 'Law of Physics', and you should forget about it after a few hours once you stop consciously thinking about it.
You will see this pixellation on all anti-glare screen protectors from all brands (many of which are noticeably more extreme than ours). Apple's matte screen monitors (and professional television industry monitors) display it also, as it is simply unavoidable.
If you require a perfectly 'crystal clear' screen, then we strongly recommend using our (glossy surfaced) Crystal Clear edition instead, which is invisible when applied to the device screen, and does not affect its clarity in any way.
- Our Crystal Clear (Invisible) edition uses a glossy surface texture.
It is invisible on your phone when applied, and feels like your device's natural screen. It does not affect the device's screen glare or clarity in any way.
Glossy screen protectors do inevitably attract fingerprints, like a regular device screen does.
Some of the latest electronic device screens have a very expensive 'oleophobic' (anti-fingerprint) surface layer, and therefore you may notice extra fingerprinting if using a glossy screen protector on them.
For example: The iPhones 3GS/4/4S have an anti-fingerprint screen surface, whereas the iPhone 3G and the iPad 1/iPad 2 do not have it. Our Crystal Clear edition protector therefore provides the same fingerprint resistance as the latter devices.
Does your Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) edition affect the clarity of the device screen?
Matte material protectors do produce a slight pixellation of the screen, as this is the natural effect created by the Matte (anti-glare) frosted texture. It is simply an unavoidable 'Law of Physics', and you should forget about it after a few hours once you stop consciously thinking about it.
You will see this pixellation on all anti-glare screen protectors from all brands (many of which are noticeably more extreme than ours). Apple's matte screen monitors (and professional television industry monitors) display it also, as it is simply unavoidable.
If you require a perfectly 'crystal clear' screen, then we strongly recommend using our (glossy surfaced) Crystal Clear edition instead, which is invisible when applied to the device screen, and does not affect its clarity in any way.
Will your screen protectors affect either the sensitivity of my device's touch screen, or the light/proximity sensor under the screen?
Our screen protectors do not affect the sensitivity of touch screens or light/proximity sensors in any way. In fact, you are even able to use our Magicwand capacitive touch screen stylus when one of our screen protectors is applied.
Do your screen protectors cover the front facing camera or the light/proximity sensor in the device screen?
Our protectors have a purpose cut hole for front facing cameras (to prevent any light 'flaring' from appearing in photos).
In the vast majority of cases, our protectors do cover the light/proximity sensor, as (unlike products from competing brands) they do not affect the sensitivity of the sensor.
Are your screen protectors the unscratchable format, or the scratch-resistant format (i.e. protect 'from' scratching)?
There are two different types of screen protector: 'hard' unscratchable protectors, and 'soft' scratch-resistant protectors. They are rather different to each other, and both have their own advantages and limitations compared to the other.
Our protectors are the 'soft' static-cling scratch-resistant type (i.e. they protect your device 'from' scratches, rather than being totally resistant to scratches themselves). This format is the most popular type of screen protector by a very large margin, and most of the world's leading screen protector brands also use it.
Our protectors are more (or equally) resistant to scratches than all directly competing scratch-resistant screen protector products, and provide a high level of protection for your screen (even if they pick up scratches themselves).
To prevent the screen protectors themselves from getting scratched, treat your device well by keeping it away from keys and other sharp objects. Keys do huge damage to device screens, and can easily result in hairline scratching of the protectors if you keep them in the same pocket.
It would be possible for us to make our protectors more resistant to scratches, however this would remove the friction of the surface texture, and as a result they would not feel smooth to touch.
One major issue with the protectors that claim to be unscratchable, is that they do feel very rubbery, and affect the user's enjoyment of their device. That is not something we wish our customers to experience, and therefore we do not range unscratchable protectors. Our protectors provide benefits in other areas.
Please see this link to our troubleshooting guide for a detailed comparison of our protector format versus 'unscratchable' protectors like Zagg's InvisibleShield (the best known 'unscratchable' screen protector).
You may want to read Amazon reviews of the InvisibleShield to see if it is perhaps a product better suited to your requirements.
Please note that Zagg do not sell a Matte 'unscratchable' screen protector, because it is not achievable as Matte material is a bit softer than glossy material, and scratches are also more obvious due to the frosted texture.

- Great Value Screen Protector(s). Review by Wildheart
They arrived in double quick time.
I did watch the application video, but, to be honest, regardless of any similar protectors I tried, I didn't bother trying to apply it myself, as I've never found it possible to achieve a decent fit, without bubbles, or dust etc.
And, I've neither got the time, nor patience to stick with it.
So, I decided to take it to the Carphone Warehouse and have one of their guys do it (there should be more places offering this sort of option IMO)
They said they hadn't seen the "make," before, but for a small fee were happy to apply it, which they did within 5 minutes.
Practice makes perfect, presumably.
Anyhow, it went on perfectly, looked great and felt great.
That was about 7 months ago.
In that time, it's been perfect, but I recently noticed a couple of "dents/marks" on the protector, which were possibly due to putting the phone in a bag, next to a sharp object.
The protector certainly saved the screen from whatever, would've marked the phone, so, for that I'm truly grateful.
I then took the 2nd protector to a different Carphone Warehouse, where, again, they said that they'd never seen the make before, but again, fitted it, in double quick time.
To be honest, it's worth given the real value for money of these protectors, as opposed to others which cost more than 2x the price and leave the screen looking murky and smudged, it's well worth, if, like me, you've not got the patience, skill to fit one, getting it done professionally, as you still, IMO, get a real bargain.
The protector looks great and you'd hardly know it was there, in fact many have commented that they can't even see/detect it!
I've ordered a couple more today, in order to make sure, that should I damage the protector in future, that I have some on hand, just in case..
However, this time, I'll make sure I keep the phone in my pocket..
I'd thoroughly recommend this protector, for sheer quality, looks, non interference with the screen and value for money. (Posted on 20/12/2013)

Top 10 Female Comedians
Until recently, comedy was dominated by men. But thanks to a few pioneering women, the fairer sex is now just as successful on the stand-up stage. No one can deny the influence of women like Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and Joan Rivers, while Whoopi Goldberg, Roseanne Barr and Ellen DeGeneres paved the way even further. "Saturday Night Live" has produced so many funny women, the show deserves its own top 10 list of funny ladies. Today, primetime line-ups are full of shows based on the lives of female comics, and it's no wonder why. In this video, WatchMojo.com counts down our Top 10 Favorite Female Comedians.

The emotional aspect (which is so weird to write) is so big for the show you have to develop your understanding of the characters in the same manor that show does.
And it's a meta humor show to be honest. Some people just don't do pure meta humor and pop-culture critique.
I can understand not liking it (and P & R is "funnier) but Community is effing art. They completely change the make up of the show almost weekly and are the only show ever brave enough to do a Dinner With Andre spoof camoflouged as a Pulp Fiction spoof as an entire episode.
The sheer brilliance behind what Harmon and his staff do cannot be stated enough. It makes me want to stand above the hills and bellow out "YOU FUCKERS ARE GENIUS"
So alas, you still leave me :-(
There really is no way to explain how genius the writers are. Not even a fucking word.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to drink a PBR and beat a women in honor of Jerry.

Happy Dace are here again
I finally got a chance to fish the park on Wednesday. It had been since Mem day weekend that I had fished and was going through some serious Smokies withdrawl
Hit LRO on the way in. They had my reel fixed back from Orvis. I fell on it 6 weeks ago and bent the spool in. If that wasn't stupid enough, I compounded the injury by making an attempt to fix it. I saw where it was bent in and thought I could simply bend it back out with a pair of vice grips. My buddy said, "That's cheap pot metal, don't do that", but I didn't listen and it snapped a piece right off. Now I think I'm out a spool, but unfortuately there are none to be found as Orvis pulled my model off the market. Paula and Daniel said to send it in for repair anyway, and I'm sure glad I did. $18 with shipping and I got a brand new (well Paula said reconditioned) reel.
I told Paula to harass Byron about not having his T-shirts on the website after he was pimping them on his fishing report a few days earlier. She informed me, he was doing that as we spoke:rolleyes:. That boy's on top of everything
I was weird to see Bill there on a Wed, so Freddy & I picked his brain a bit. After expressing some frustration with the SoHo (abbrev is just for Waterwolf), he showed how not only is he a better fisherman then us, but also managed to insult our skills while still being kind and full of class. We had originally planned to hit a local Brookie creek, but with the water so low we decided to try a new stream that mainly gets overlooked (No Jay it wasn't your stream, it had a much worse shuttle).
We arrived at the creek to find the water EXTREMELY LOW. At least the Rhodo was blooming
In just a minute of so i had this guy hooked. Here's you first fish of the day. A monster for sure. Not sure what kind of fish it is. Would this be considered a dace also?
Here is a shot of Freddie working some water lined by the blooming Rhodo. Shot isn't the best, sorry
I remember these guys from the Lynn Camp work last year. Apparently my voice carries real well as we shouted "Dace" during the shocking leading Matt Kulp to poke a bit of fun at me.
I thought up to this time that maybe I was fishing trout water, but it turned out they were few and far between
Finally Freddie landed this guy
I, on the other hand just caught more of these guys:eek:
This day wasn't turning out to be too much of a fishing adventure. Finally Freddie caught a nice one in some fast water at a head of a nice pool. He taped 10 1/4 inches and was a real nice fish considering the size of creek we were on.
We soon made it back to our car and decided fishing this stream was not worth investing any more time. After a drive that seemed like forever we hit the Middle Prong on the way out. Freddie said something about it being Yellowhammer Time, and I decided to fish one below my neversink. First cast landed me this beauty and offered a bit of redemption:smile:
I fished for another 20 minutes of so, but only managed to miss one, and to scare another
Better luck next time, pray for rain, and I guess that's why they call it fishing
Looks like a good day. I'm not sure what those fish are, but I call them dace, the other one I call a horny head.
Sorry I couldn't resist - sometimes I just a little boy in my humor
Excellent post and picture set! Thanks for sharing...
The old timers were big on thinking that dace were a key bait fish. Google "dace pattern" for Creek Chub Bait Co. Off the top of my head I am thinking that Heddon and Shakespeare had "dace patterns" as well. Even in those days of lure making, the rule was "Monkey See, Monkey Do." Whether dace pattern finished lures were or were not all that effective is unknown to me, but if you google to see a few, you have to admit they are pretty stunning to look at.
CCBC had dace available on most of its lures for decades. It is most common in the Injured minnow series and their relatively obscure fly rod baits. I had Dingbat in dace, and a during the 1930s hardware store chain in Kentucky special ordered side-hook Saragossa Minnows in dace. These are pretty tough to find examples. They are almost as rare as CCBC Friday Night Specials, where the painters at the factory took rejected wooden baits and painted them as they chose. Sometime back before I my intervention (to stop me from collecting old lure) I had an Injured Minnow that was air brushed signed by all of the ladies on the line at that time at the Garrett plant.

John O'Reilly Victoria—Haliburton, ON
Mr. Speaker, as the 1996 summer Olympics are quickly approaching I would like to congratulate Nancy Sweetnam of Lindsay, Ontario in qualifying for the games in Atlanta.
Nancy recently qualified for the 400 individual medley event in swimming at the time trials in Montreal. She had an excellent year at the World Cup swim meets in Europe where she grabbed four gold medals and a silver. This will mark the second time she has been to the Olympics as she competed in the 1992 Barcelona summer games. Due to her recent success at the World Cup swim meets, it appears Nancy is peaking at the right time, heading into the Olympics.
Congratulations and good luck, Nancy. The people of Victoria-Haliburton and the rest of Canada wish you all the best in your quest for gold.

Mr. Speaker, I want to tell the House about a great youth project in my riding of St. Catharines. It is a Youth Services Canada project sponsored by the Niagara Regional Police Service.
Fifteen young people worked with the Niagara police to promote community safety and crime prevention while learning work related skills. These young people worked in classroom and community settings. They visited malls, schools and seniors' homes to promote community safety with projects like Neighbourhood Watch, Lock It or Lose it and Combat Auto Theft.
They also improved their life and work skills through education in first aid, problem solving, team building, budgeting, writing résumés, job interviews and more.
The young people say they have gained greater self-esteem, self-confidence, people skills and an opportunity to succeed. This project is a great example of government, police and young Canadians working together to make their communities better and giving youth vital skills for the future.
Congratulations to Chief Waddell, project co-ordinator Constable Tim Whittle, everyone at the Niagara Regional Police Service and the 15 young people on a job well done.
National Soil Conservation Week

Marlene Cowling Dauphin—Swan River, MB
Mr. Speaker, this week we are celebrating National Soil Conservation Week. Healthy soil is an essential component of a healthy environment and is a foundation on which sustainable agriculture is built.
The Soil Conservation Council of Canada was formed 10 years ago to promote the preservation and enrichment of Canada's soil and water resources for the benefit of present and future generations. Half of its current board members are farmers, including newly elected president, Gerry Willerth of Indian Head, Saskatche-
wan. They form a coalition of producer driven, soil and water conservation organizations in each province with all stakeholders contributing funding toward public education, research and program evaluation.
The Government of Canada, through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, conducts research and actively supports initiatives for soil conservation. Much progress has been made in halting and reversing soil degradation.
National Soil Conservation Week helps to focus attention on this important issue which affects us all.
West Coast Fishery

Nelson Riis Kamloops, BC
Mr. Speaker, there is a seething rage developing in the province of British Columbia as once again British Columbians feel that the Government of Canada is ignoring their concerns.
Today representatives of over 500,000 people living in coastal communities say that the Mifflin plan fails to address the serious concerns of the west coast fishery.
I ask particularly the parliamentary secretary to the minister of fisheries and Liberal members from British Columbia to stand up for the concerns of British Columbians and not be a sop of the government in British Columbia. Your job here is to represent B.C.
Fédération Des Caisses Populaires De L'Ontario
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, 1996 marks the 50th anniversary of the Fédération des caisses populaires de l'Ontario. Over the years, the francophone community of Ontario has built its own network of credit unions. Today, the federation has 42 branches and 65 outlets to serve its members. Some 200,000 Franco-Ontarians have joined the co-operative movement and the network as a whole administers total assets of $1.6 billion.
The members of the caisse populaires have obviously created a powerful development tool that reflects their dreams and aspirations. Throughout the year, several cultural, co-operative and community activities organized in partnership with local organizations will mark the federation's 50th anniversary. This is a fine example of the vitality of Ontario's many francophone communities.
Social Program Transfers
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Herb Grubel Capilano—Howe Sound, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance recently stated in the House that the Reform budget "had reductions in transfer payments to the provinces that made ours look like a peanut hill. They were enormous". This statement is false.
The Reform Party had proposed a cut of $3.5 billion in provincial transfers for health, welfare and higher education and $3 billion in equalization payments. The Liberal budget projects a cut of $7 billion on social program transfers. The Liberal budget exceeds the Reform cuts by $500 million.
I ask the minister: where is the peanut hill? Why these misrepresentations? Is it lack of information, carelessness or a deliberate political tactic?

Mr. Speaker, the need to unite Canadians is at the heart pf the CBC's mandate. The president of the CBC, Perrin Beatty, said so himself.
The sole mandate of the CBC is to reflect as faithfully as possible the reality of Canada and Quebec. The CBC acts as a witness who sees, hears and reports on what is happening.
Turning this witness into one that manipulates reality to bring communities closer together is a serious departure from the mandate of the CBC and has reduced this institution to a propaganda tool serving a single ideology, namely Canadian unity.
The Bloc Quebecois objects to such a change in mandate and would like the president and chief executive officer of the CBC to either clarify his remarks or take them back. The CBC is made up of two independent networks, each responding to the needs of its audience. It is unacceptable for their mandate to be subject to the dictates of the ruling party.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Bloc Quebecois, I wish to express our profound indignation about and strong disapproval of the massacre at Qana, in southern Lebanon, in which some 100 civilians were killed and another 100 wounded.
This slaughter of civilians in a refugee camp under UN protection, which resulted from the Israeli army's actions, is more massive than the one that resulted from the February 1994 attack on the Sarajevo market.
Israel must immediately stop the bloodshed, which seriously sullies its honour and undermines the credibility of its cause.
There was another exchange of fire last night between Israel and Hezbollah. The toll of the Israeli operation is reported to have reached more than 151 dead, most of them civilians, and close to 300 wounded. This massacre must end. We urge both sides to respond to the international community's call for an immediate ceasefire.

Mr. Speaker, since February, western Canadians have been given the opportunity to fly at bargain basement prices. While West Jet fights the competition in the skies, this Liberal government has launched an attack from the ground.
On March 22 the fledgling West Jet was forced, at great expense, to comply to a so-called Transport Canada safety rule written years ago. All airlines operating in western Canada were forced to give safety instructions in both languages.
Three air carriers asked for one-year extensions. Transport Canada refused. "If you do not have flight attendants with French language capabilities, hire them or get sound equipment," came the edict.
If the urgency was all about safety, why was it not important enough to be implemented when it was first drafted six years ago? Did the flying public request the second language rule? No, it came from the police of official languages here in Ottawa.
A pilot from Transport Canada informed me this week the edict had nothing to do with safety.

Mr. Speaker, over 600 federalist residents of the Outaouais met last night in the small town of Low to reiterate their deep attachment to Quebec and Canada.
Many such rallies have been held across Canada since the October 30 referendum. Citizens from all over the country are mobilizing to help resolve the constitutional crisis fuelled by Quebec separatists.
All these groups are sending a clear message. They want a united Canada and fervently hope that Quebec will remain part of it.
I commend the initiative taken by all these people seeking peaceful, unifying solutions and I can assure them that my government will do all it can to meet their legitimate expectations.
Quebec Week For Retail Sale

Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to point out that this is Quebec week for retail trade.
The retail industry is a key player in Quebec's economic development. It is currently estimated that over 500,000 Quebecers work in that very aggressive and competitive sector.
Annual sales in the wholesale and retail sector exceed $50 billion, or slightly more than 12 per cent of Quebec's GDP.
Over the last few days, various activities and events took place throughout the province to celebrate the week for retail trade. I join promoters, participants and customers in congratulating entrepreneurs who constantly strive to provide quality products to enhance the well-being of consumers.
Raw Milk Cheese

Bob Ringma Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, on March 30, the Minister of Health announced that a study would be conducted on raw milk cheese to see if these products should be banned. The decision is based on the fact that bacteria caused the death of a Swiss citizen 60 years ago.
Milk producers are going through tough times. They just lost their federal subsidies and, in addition to that, they must fight with the Americans over import tariffs.
What the Liberals are proposing will make the transition even harder, particularly in Quebec, the principal homeland of cheese.
This measure makes no sense at all. What is next? Will the minister propose that cheese be registered, just like firearms?

Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
Despite the latest ultimatum given the Department of National Defence Monday by counsel for the Somalia inquiry, frustrated at having to beg for documents that never appear, we learn this morning that a number of essential documents have still not been produced, including the registers for the first and third commandos.
How does the minister explain the fact that, despite the 12 boxes that arrived five minutes before the deadline, key registers have still not been supplied at the request of the inquiry?

Mr. Speaker, two issues have to be addressed on the documentation question and one on the public affairs issue.
A counsel for the commission this morning said that they were satisfied that the department had produced all the relevant documents and that the subset of hearings within the general commission mandate can start on Wednesday.
With respect to the specific question of the hon. member on the Somalia related documents, there has been some considerable progress made on the logs and other documentation that came forward as a result of the search that was conducted under the auspices of the chief of defence staff.
The Somalia liaison team of the department is cataloguing that and will report to the commission. The commission is satisfied that the report, combined with testimony that will be given in subsequent hearings, will get to the bottom of the documentation issue.

Suzanne Tremblay Rimouski—Témiscouata, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is high time the minister stopped mocking everyone. He has been sweet talking the House for the past two and a half years. Nobody believes him anymore. Enough is enough.
Counsel made it clear this morning that gaps remained and documents were still missing. Would the minister explain why it takes so much effort and time and so many warnings and ultimatums for the department to deliver, bit by bit, some of the documents the commission of inquiry has repeatedly asked for? When exactly is the minister finally going to assume his responsibilities, for once?

"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"I have ordered this product now twice for my son's birthday parties. I have received many compliments on it. It is easy and you don't have to spend $2-3 dollars every time for a card which gets thrown away anyways."

Was it corruption, incompetence, or both that ruined this man's life?Tuesday, July 31st, 2012
Was it corruption, incompetence, or both that ruined this man's life?
Former Pennsylvania psychologist says he reported child molestation, lost license
Jim Singer, formerly a psychologist working in Pennsylvania, said that he reported a case of child molestation in 1986 to Pennsylvania's Child Protective Services agency, and not only was his report ignored, but soon after, in retaliation, the Pennsylvania Psychology Board prosecuted Singer and eventually removed his license to practice psychology.
As the aftermath of the Penn State University molestation scandal unfolds, most observers believe that if the proper authorities had been alerted to the crimes much earlier, many children could have been saved. That's not always the case, says Singer.
Speaking exclusively with The Daily Caller, Singer said that most of the same Pennsylvania government agencies that were outraged over the PSU scandal — Child Protective Services, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, and the Pennsylvania State Police — all ignored and buried his report of child molestation.
In 1986, Singer was working as a psychologist at the Dubois Regional Medical Center in Dubois, Pa. During a session with a female teenage patient, Singer said the patient revealed to him that she was being sexually abused by her father. Upon having two more medical professionals confirm this, Singer said that he reported the abuse to the state's Child Protective Services agency.
TheDC has exclusively acquired a letter from one of the two medical professionals, Dr. Albert Varacallo, vouching for the veracity of Singer's claims.
"If all this seems hard to believe," Varacallo wrote to then-Pennsylvania Gov. Bob Casey, Sr. in 1991, "I agree with you … the events of the past three years have proven to me that this nightmare is indeed a reality and not just Mr. Singer's imagination from the stand point of any health professional, once he knew all the facts."
"While the state is supposed to provide immunity for reporters," Varacallo wrote, "it actually prosecutes those who seek to protect the rights of children."
Click Here to read the rest of the story.
This is purely conjecture, but what I think happened, after the alleged abuser was informed of Dr. Singer's report and given his identity, is that he turned to someone pretty high up in government who either put pressure on various agencies or arranged for false reports to be generated and acted upon.
While I feel badly for Dr. Singer, I feel worse for the children who may not have had their cases reported, as the law requires, because the health practitioner knew what happened to Singer and did not want to be similarly treated by the state agencies.
It's been twenty-six years since Singer filed that report. How many children have suffered horrendous abuse because nobody would do anything to save them?
If I had my way, a very lot of people back then and now, would spend a lot of time in prison for dereliction of duty and abuse of authority.
But then, I'm not a Pennsylvania child welfare bureaucrat or worker. What do I know?
Is anyone more familiar with this case or similar cases elsewhere?

Discussion: R-Lipoic acid is the natural form of this vital antioxidant. It is the sole form produced in the body for use in the mitochondria. Conventional "lipoic acid" supplements are only 50% R-lipoic acid; the other half of such supplements is the artificial S-enantiomer. Research demonstrates that R-lipoic acid is more potent that the S-form, and that in some cases the S-form interferes with R-lipoic acid's actions in the body.

The world is full of things to see, smell and investigate, which is a big part of the reason that many dogs tend to strain on their leashes when they are taken out for walks. Your instinct may be to pull back on the leash to restrain the canine, but this can be counterproductive. VCA Animal Hospitals states that pulling back on the leash will likely only cause the dog to pull forward with more force. This behavior, often referred to as opposition reflex, can be frustrating, but it is important to approach correcting the behavior with positive reinforcement.
Collars that pinch, choke or poke dogs' necks should be avoided when training dogs to walk on their leashes. In some cases, the negative reinforcement may be effective, but there are plenty of dogs who continue to charge ahead of their owners, in spite of any pain their restraints may be causing. There are less obtrusive options available, called head halters that allow owners to have more control over their pets without causing them harm, according to VCA.
If you are having trouble getting your dog to behave on the leash, you can discuss training options with your veterinarian. This can also be a good opportunity to make sure that your pet's dog vaccinations are up-to-date.

and specifically game development.
So initially I wanted to make a board game (backgammon) with the help of some HTML5 (with game features) library.
Here are some libraries out there with game dev features:
Finally - and after wasting some time researching / building with some libraries - I decided LimeJs would be the one.
LimeJS is a HTML5 game framework based on Closure Library by Google and extends Closure Library by adding many classes useful for game development like: Animation, audio, director (which is the base), scene (inside director), layer (inside a scene), sprite etc. For rendering DOM, canvas and WebGL are supported (latter has been added recently).
The HTML5 framework is compatible with all the major browsers and also supports touch events by touch devices. More in their site with: documentation, demos and a very good guide.
Another idea also was starting without any library - straight with Javascript language.
I also then decided to start with something simpler, as a game / test / experiment: Puzzler, a variation of jigsaw puzzle which I had made some time ago as a windows game (see Old games)
So here it is Puzzler in HTML5: Click to play
And here is the source code at GitHub.

Maternal perception of altered fetal activity and the risk of late stillbirth
- Maternal and Fetal Health Research Centre, University of Manchester, St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, UK
- Correspondence to Alexander E Heazell
Maternal and Fetal Health Research Centre, University of Manchester, 5th floor, St Mary's Hospital, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9Wl, UK; alexander.heazell{at}manchester.ac.uk
Implications for practice and research
■ Maternal perception of an active fetus and fetal hiccups is associated with reduced likelihood of late stillbirth.
■ A sudden change in maternally perceived fetal activity, particularly reduced fetal movements (RFM), is associated with late stillbirth and women should be encouraged to seek advice if this occurs.
■ Research is needed to examine the possible link between a single period of vigorous fetal activity and risk of late stillbirth.
■ The relationship between fetal hiccups, fetal breathing movements and their loss in compromised fetuses merits deeper exploration.
There has been no reduction in …

If the recent repudiation at the box office of "The Five-Year Engagement" suggests that men and women have tired of the post-Apatow fusion of chick flicks and dick jokes (Apatow's ideal in its most watered down — or perhaps most overpowering — state), then "The Dictator," Sacha Baron Cohen's send-up of a Qaddafi-like strongman, should be arriving at precisely the right time. Add to this the fact that the ascension of Kim Jong-un, deposing of Muammar Qaddafi, and defeat of Saddam Hussein remain fresh even in our darting American minds, and the film should have a lock on the zeitgeist.
And this is fertile crescent for cinema. Instead of another attempt to take the everyday romantic and professional lives of white Americans over the top, you have a movie that treats unimaginably absurd and awful rulers absurdly, putting humor to the use that any "comedy fan" will tell you it is best applied: processing darkness, disaster, and pain.
Despite all this — and despite the presence of Anna Farris, Hollywood's great mistress of the absurd — the unrated trailer for the "The Dictator" just feels crude and unfunny. The movie seems to rely on the same fish-out-of-you-know-what formula that all of Cohen's cringers have, an easy out that means a host of low-budget-like references to the life the character is supposed to embody. The dick-joke side of the equation puts it in a category with any post-Apatow flick you'd like to name. The feminist angle — Faris seems to play one — promises a little more than the average doughy-dude vehicle does, but it could just be one big dick joke in itself. We suspect Cohen has greater ambitions. But if the best this movie can do is summon some broad humor about gender skirmishes in the west, you might as well stamp a great, saggy, Jason Segel sad-face on the whole damn thing.

About the Author: Dr. Esther Brimmer serves as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs.
December 10th marks Human Rights Day, a day that affords us all the opportunity to reflect on human rights conditions in our own countries and across the globe in the context of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. That Declaration, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, outlined the equal and inalienable rights of all people, and has since served as the benchmark for the extension and protection of fundamental rights and liberties.
The United States is a leading voice in this continuing effort, and earlier this year amplified that voice by seeking and winning a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council – the body charged with promoting the ideals embodied in the Universal Declaration. Joining the Human Rights Council underscores our determination to engage in a collaborative spirit on these core issues.
The United States does not underestimate the challenge – the world has made great strides in the last six decades, but too many around the world remain subject to human rights abuses and restricted freedoms and liberties. Traveling the remaining distance to a world without such abuses will require us to heed President Obama's call to action – that all nations should work together to confront the common challenges of the 21st century. As we mark Human Rights Day, the United States is dedicated to that approach, and will aspire with all like-minded nations toward a world in which the Universal Declaration is universally upheld.

As I prepare to journey to GAZA, it reminds me of how a people's human right are ignore everyday, by US and Israel. I believe that Israel has and should have the right to exist, but not by the inhuman actions Israel commits on a daily basis. If we as a Country said we believe in Human Rights, then we must demand Israel to end the Apartheid Occupation in the West Bank and GAZA. I think Jefferson has written so well and many that we should all live in dignity. We sold arms that was used during the attach on GAZA last December and January and this use was illegal by our own law.
I love my country but sometimes I am ashamed of it also. We can do better than this.
When I am ask why I am so passionate about ending the Apartheid Occupation, it is because my tax dollars is used to kill, mutilate and torture these Palestinians who have as much right to be on this land as dose the Jewish people. The people who this area are not all Muslims, many are Christians. We call ourselves a Christian country and there Christian children and women killed in GAZA last year.
I am just a person who cares so deeply and my thoughts are not important to you people, but hopefully I will be able to share my experience from visit and move other to come to call of this problem.
Let there be peace next all around world, that my Christmas wish for everyone, everywhere.
