Bushfires tipped to rage in overgrown Burnett
Eliza RogersHigh vegetation growth from the January floods is predicted to create a big bushfire season in the Burnett region of southern Queensland this year.
Fire crews are expecting an average season overall, but predict "hot spots" in inland areas hit by floodwaters in January.
But Eidsvold cattle producer Anthony Coates says he hasn't been able to properly prepare for bushfires because a mild winter has kept the grass green and hard to burn.
"Traditionally or normally, I like to start doing controlled burns in July, starting to light up say after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, anticipating a cold, frosty or dewy night which will put that fire out, but I just haven't been able to do that this year."
And three Cessna aircraft will take off from the Bundaberg airport today and tomorrow as part of Queensland Fire and Rescue's Air Observer Training.
The eight volunteer rural firefighters on board will be trained up to help better prepare response capacity to the upcoming bushfire season.
Peter Hollier, from Fire and Rescue, explained why the training was so important.
"During summer, you have higher temperatures, lower humidity, stronger winds, but that's a part of the training ... to make sure they understand the risks ... and that they have planned for those.
"They get an experience for things they're going to encounter later in the year."

Steve James: How One CRNA Who Turned Tragedy into Triumph Celebrates 10 Years of Giving
Page Content
Steve James, CRNA, suffered a terrible loss in 2001, when his 19-year-old daughter Brittney passed away. After losing Brittney, James and his family found themselves picking up the pieces of their lives and incorporating those from Brittney's.
A year after his daughter's death, James was compelled to visit a young boy who Brittney sponsored for three years in Western Kenya named Newton. Brittney had hoped one day to meet Newton, but did not have the chance. Upon reaching Kenya, James quickly experienced the same emotions that once fueled his daughter to contribute to this underserved country. From there, his life would forever change.
James recalls his earlier mission trips to Maasai Land Kenya, where, like Newton, so many children and adults suffered, and in some cases died, due to basic needs and medical treatment going unmet.
Steve James, CRNA, with a young resident of
Brittney's Home of Grace.
"There were times when we would pass out medicine from the back of a van. We began arranging three-day clinics that consisted of 10 to 15 team members. On one trip, we saw 800 patients a day, a total of 2,400 people within those three days. Thankfully, we were able to distribute medicine, but many required much more than that. Unfortunately, we were unable to fully care for them because of limited resources," said James.
However, 10 years later, much has changed. James and his ever-growing team of supporters established Brittney's Home of Grace, a 60-acre orphanage in Migori, Kenya. The orphanage is a safe place where more than 140 children and adults call home and never have to worry about going hungry or being without medical care.
"Our first clinic operated without electricity or running water. I remember a cow sticking its head into the surgery room. During another surgery, children were peeking through the window. We've come a long way since then," said James.
In the past 10 years, Kenya Relief has organized many mission trips, averaging 20 each year. To date, more than 1, 100 nurses and doctors have volunteered with the organization and have treated more than 60,000 patients. In 2010, Kenya Relief hosted its first international team with physicians from India, Sweden, Switzerland and other regions of Kenya. The organization is also credited with adding a water filtration system, providing more than 400,000 nutritious meals to the hungry, establishing a goat sharing system for widows, and constructing a state-of-the-art operating room. In January 2013, the Kenya Relief Academy opened its doors and now provides schooling for 270 children within the community.
For many Kenyans, oftentimes the smallest of needs progress to serious conditions because they go untreated. Without the help provided by Kenya Relief, many Kenyans would have little or no chance of receiving the appropriate medical attention for urgent and common health needs.
"Something as simple as having cataract surgery can require the average Kenyan family to save every dollar earned from their annual income for two years. It is virtually impossible to do. That is why our efforts are so greatly needed. I intend to continue my efforts until the day I leave this earth," said Elizabeth Studley, a CRNA from Michigan who practices at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor and Henry Ford Health System in Detroit. Studley, who has taken four mission trips with Kenya Relief since 2009, is joined by other nurse anesthetists who have become regular volunteers with Kenya Relief, most of whom view it as a life-changing experience.
"I cannot think of words that are powerful enough to fully describe the impact that serving with Kenya Relief has had on my life. I have seen precious orphaned children given a second chance in life. I have seen severely disfiguring goiters and cleft lips replaced by beautiful smiles. I have seen men, women and children receive medical care that saves their lives and restores their hope. It is healthcare at its purest—simply taking care of people who are in desperate need and have nowhere else to turn. It is truly a life-changing experience," said Medical Missions Coordinator Molly Shaw, a CRNA who works at Brookwood Hospital in Birmingham, Ala. Shaw began volunteering with the organization in 2012 and participated in two trips. This year she will be leading a gynecology medical team in May and an ear, nose and throat team in October.
Kenya Relief Academy
Lara Barrow, a CRNA in Louisville, Ky., who works at Norton Audubon Hospital in Louisville, describes her volunteer experience as exhilarating. "The working conditions are very basic, but they maximize your potential. As a provider, you have to remain flexible because the conditions are so different than what we are used to in the United States. However, it is a wonderful experience because you are working side-by-side with professionals who share the same common goal of helping others who really need it."
When asked what motivates him to continue his mission with Kenya Relief, James attributes his determination to a sense of accountability. "There are 43 million people in Kenya and more than 1 million orphans. It's impossible for me to be aware of the devastation and poor medical conditions that threaten so many Kenyans and not do something about it," said James.
Once again, James and the Kenya Relief volunteers are "doing something about it." There are plans to build a 300-bed community hospital that will serve thousands of patients and provide comprehensive care, from labor and delivery to pediatric to specialty surgery care services.
James works as a staff nurse anesthetist at Vaughan Regional Medical Center in Selma, Ala. In addition to his work with Kenya Relief, James also makes time to speak at local churches, civic groups, hospitals, and participate and attend his state association meetings. He lives with his wife, Greta. In addition to his daughter Brittney, James has two sons, Mark, 35, and Joshua, 26.

There is not much of reason to post anything here that has already been posted on Adventure Journal, but this is too awesome not to share.
Earning turns Charlestown, MA.

"A harsher response came from Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah), chairman of Natural Resources' Public Lands and Environmental Regulation Subcommittee, who charged that REI "has intimately supported several special interest groups and subsequently helped to advance their radical political agendas." When asked to elaborate, a Bishop spokeswoman pointed to REI's support of groups such as the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and the Outdoor Industry Association, as well as REI's promotion of a bill that would add wilderness protections to millions of acres of Utah lands."Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/02/obama-to-nominate-rei-chief-sally-jewell-for-interior-secretary-87250_Page2.html#ixzz2KA8uRZ28

In the context of student protests over Quebec tuition fees, my friend Luan Ngo has just written a very informative blog post on Quebec's fiscal situation.
While I encourage readers to read his full post, I do want to use the present space to make mention of three important points he makes:
- On a per capita basis, Quebec spends more on government programs than most other Canadian provinces.
- Residents of Quebec pay more personal incomes taxes than any other province.
- Quebec's debt-to-GDP ratio is significantly higher than that any other Canadian province.
He argues that, in light of the above, "Quebec is in a bind, stuck between a rock and a hard place."
While I believe Luan makes an extremely important contribution to the debate, I think it's crucial to make mention of the role of the federal government. I would argue that successive federal governments have in fact brought on this so-called crisis.
When Paul Martin was federal finance minister, he brought in several tax reductions. One was the $100-billion tax-cut package he brought in with the 2000 federal budget; he also brought in important reductions to capital gains taxes. By the time Chretien/Martin left office, the federal government's fiscal capacity (annually, and assuming a balanced budget over the business cycle) had been reduced by approximately $30 billion. After the Harper government came to power in 2006, this trend continued, as the Harper government continued what Chretien/Martin had started (including a reduction in the GST).
It therefore won't surprise many readers to learn that, while the federal government at one time covered 80 per cent of a typical Canadian university's operating budget, today the federal government covers just 50 per cent of a typical university's operating budget. If you're a federal government, it seems you can't have your cake and eat it too!
Thus, I would argue that the current "crisis" in Quebec over tuition fees has been largely created by successive federal governments that have defunded Canadian universities, indeed putting provincial governments "between a rock and a hard place."
And if successive federal governments have taken us in one direction on taxation levels, they also (if they so choose) have the option of reversing course. What goes up can also go down, and vice versa.
Finally, I feel it would be irresponsible for me not to point out that there are schools of thought (ones that are becoming somewhat more prominent in light of the financial crisis) that do not accept a lot of the limits and boundaries of neoclassical economics. Some economists have argued, for example, that if a central bank keeps real interest rates low (but positive) over the long term and allows for moderate inflation, a country with its own currency can increase spending very substantially over the long term without increasing taxes. PEF Blogger Arun Dubois has blogged extensively about some of these other perspectives.

where did you get paper with code
I cannot read any numbers on cleaned mirror - just a big red cross
still have dice
a red X on the mirror, 55 on paper.... can't seem to do anything with te dark-rose tile at the first view.
Found a straw at the 2nd door.
And what's a planger and which lamp?? English isn't my first language, LOL
thanks Wilma
there is a drinking straw on top of toilet stalls
not used yet
where did you get SD sales??
Found so far:
Cloth (used), cleaning spray (used), colour code (used), knife (used) and a die
there is no knife...it's a nail file and it's sticking out on top of the mirror
@wilma1983, just found the SD behind the out of order sign. use your nail file on it
Hi there trying to catch up,
but cant seem to get into the cabins to get the toilet paper????
help, please?
Thanks Swissmiss, but can't seem to find the right spot...LOL I definitely need vacation (and it starts in 5 hours!!! three weeks off!!)
@ Swissmiss: look at the symbols and see what you found there (f.e: drying hands: 5, childrens change area: pacman)
The end code is using the symbols you saw all around.
For example; the first two are from the dryer. We used the paper there so that's 5 and 5. The dice came from the bin, the X was on the mirror etc.
highlight the straw and add the soaked toilet paper, close the view
then go to the ceiling (where the baby-thingy is)up and use the straw
LOL was clicking all over the place at the ceiling in 1st view and totally missed this one!
Thanx @ Swissmiss!
Out now!
@ mauno: at the exit door, underneath your panel which opened with the wrench
like small-tool said...the 2 signs you see are on the dryer which was used to get the 55 on the paper
after solving the code, i can't find the key you guys said it's below the panel :(
how can i get the toilet paper?
go in the first toilet, click on the paper so that it unrolls and then click on the bottom piece
@george - stupid me - I totally forgot about the 55 on the paper - needed my lunch first I guess to be able to think again - thanks
@ George, Mauno and Small Tools, thx u guy. I didn't click the toilet door hard enough!
Too late for live, but thanks for all the comments and hints!! I liked this game a lot. Very logical! Hope there are more on the way!
The screwdriver is behind the out of order sign. Use the file you get from the top of the mirror over the 3rd sink.
Very funny and somewhat challenging...I only needed help putting the spitball/straw together ....Liked it very much!!!
Well, I'm a little late for a live game, but thought I'd pop in and say hello. Maybe it's because I'm surprised, maybe because I'm amused, but I love the fact the toilet is singing to me. :)
Well, I know that: there's a straw ontop of the second stall. And that if you click the 3RD mirrior there's a nail file. (Dunno what to do with it.) and a die in the trash, and to open the Baby change room, GREEN RED BLUE. Okay.

As we get the first promo for the live-action film adaptation of the classic sci-fi anime "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman", it has been revealed that the "G-Suits" alone costs a total of 20 million yen (about US$200,000)!
According to Nikkatsu, the new suits give the movie a more realistic, "edgier" feel compared with the anime. As you can see in the photos of the five members, this shows how advanced their technology (the film's) is. Apparently, it took over a year to make the "G suits", and to make it be able to withstand action scenes.
Regarding the suits, lead actor Tori Matsuzaka (Samurai Sentai Shinkenger), who plays as the team leader and tactical expert Ken Washio, commented, "the suits were form-fitting for the five of us to move easily for intense action, and allowed us to fly about the shoot freely."
Set in the near future, Gatchaman follows the story five special agents of the International Science Organization in Tokyo, as they try to protect the world from the mysterious terrorist group who call themselves Galactor. With technology far surpasses that of humans, Galactor has declared war on the entire world and has already subjugated half of it. Trained to draw out the power from the mysterious crystal-like object called a "stone," our five heroes will be called "Gatchaman."
Gatchaman also stars Go Ayano (Kamen Rider 555, Rurouni Kenshin) as second-in-command marksman and weapons expert George Asakura; Ayame Goriki (Mirai Nikki, IS) as the electronics and demolitions expert Jun Ohtsuki; Tatsuomi Hamada (Ultraman Zero, Gokaiger vs Gavan) as the youngest and reconnaissance expert Jinpei Ohtsuki; and, Ryōhei Suzuki (Hana Kimi) as the ship's pilot Ryū Nakanishi.
Other cast includes Goro Kishitani as Dr. Nambu Kozaburo, Ken Mitsuishi as Dr. Kirkland, Eriko Hatsune as Naomi, an original character, and Shido Nakamura as mysterious invader named Iriya.
Directed by Toya Sato (Kaiji, Gokusen), with screenplay by Yūsuke Watanabe (20th Century Boys, Gantz, Bloody Monday, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods), Gatchaman premieres August 24th.

Many web CMS vendors and open source communities describe their web content management (WCM) systems as enterprise. But what does enterprise mean in this context? Are there web CMSs out there that are not enterprise? Does it even matter? Is it beneficial for organizations to invest in an enterprise web CMS, or is it just a fancy marketing buzzword that carries little meaning?
Steve Smith
May 19, 2003
Gathering market intelligence at a content site is one of those unkept promises of interactive publishing, a missing piece of the online business model that site owners like to speculate about but rarely pursue…until now.
Since necessity (or desperation) is the mother of invention, the recent ad depression finally spawned some genuinely interesting experiments in transforming market intelligence into a unique value add for online publishers' ad programs. Sites as different as gaming network IGN.com and CondeNet's foo-foo fashion haven Style.com are beginning to leverage the knowledge they gain about their audiences' product preferences, tastes, and even buying intentions into products that distinguish online marketing from just about any other platform.
"The industry has come a long way," says Mark Jung, CEO of IGN, which reported that it had gone profitable in the final quarter of 2002—more than two years after the company went public. The main revenue driver in that march to profit was a highly aggressive ad sales strategy that offered game and entertainment industry clients a full suite of marketing programs, including user surveys, market research, full-page, and video-enabled ads. In what is sure to be a popular model online, Jung and Co. even do "time-slotting," letting clients pay a premium to lock down the entire inventory on a given channel for the day or week that their new game, film, or video hits the streets.
These are the sorts of unique products that the more sophisticated ad clients of 2003 demand, says Jung. Many of these advertisers spend more money now, and at fewer, select sites, than they used to. "But they are rationalizing their expenditures," he says. "They are more demanding about what they want, but they are more open about what they get."
Jung is hoping that his most lucrative asset is his site's own metrics, the ways in which ad programs on IGN affect both audience behavior at his site and even their purchase intent. For instance, among the 10 million monthly visitors to IGN, about 50,000 die-hards maintain a gaming "locker" on the site. These lockers contain ongoing lists of the game titles the user already owns as well as ranked lists of titles he is looking forward to buying when they arrive on shelves. Fifty thousand is a substantial sample base of consumers, and it allows Jung to tell advertisers and potential clients the current level of interest in their products, and especially how that purchase intent compares to other competing titles. For a smart marketer, this is precious information, because it helps scope out where to expend ad dollars and which product releases are your real competitors for limited consumer dollars.
And hardcore gamers are like every other media buff, they love to show off their own tastes and preferences. These locker owners tend to update their "most wanted" list of titles daily. That means that Jung has his hands on an enormous real-time focus group for his industry, and he should be able to determine how content and advertising at his own site affect consumer interest in a product. "Tying [these lockers] with the advertising program gives clients real-time feedback on whether their campaign is having an effect," says Jung. This is powerful material that translates into real cost savings to clients, both in their ad spending at IGN and in planning their larger ad and marketing strategy elsewhere.
CondeNet's Style.com, online home of Vogue and W magazines, may seem far removed from the heavily male, ultra-violent ethos of IGN, but that site, too, is mining its own audience for the kind of market intelligence its advertisers crave and can't easily get.
Style.com's premiere feature is its bottomless pit of fashion runway images from every major show by every major designer. Site managers monitor traffic in these areas closely to determine the hottest trends among users and the sorts of product lines they are targeting. Armed with this market info, CondeNet president Sarah Chubb approached Bergdorf Goodman, a high-end department store in Manhattan that had no Web presence. "We took a look at who they sell and who our customers love the most," says Chubb. The result was an online trunk show that previewed an upcoming line by audience favorite Mark Jacobs. Users could identify the items they wanted to buy, and rather than take orders online, Bergdorf salespeople would call the customer directly about ordering and even upselling another item. "In the first three days, they did $100,000 of business," she says, and now a vendor that didn't even know its customers were online at all is a fixture on the Style.com home page.
The sort of market intelligence that Chubb and Jung are bundling into their ad products is exactly the kind of unique selling proposition that publishers need if they expect clients to shift their ad budgets from print and TV to the Web.

There's no question that Valentine's Day can be a little traumatic for a lot of people, but "Grey's Anatomy" took it one step further with an awful restaurant roof collapse and traumatic injuries. But the possibility of reinvention — for both relationships and people — saved the day.
Valentine debacle: Derek, Meredith, Owen and Cristina are more or less cheerily on their way to celebrate Valentine's Day (the fellas are way into it; the ladies, not so much) when they're paged because the roof of a fancy restaurant caved in, causing a lot of terrible casualties.
One of them involves a woman (Pamela Reed, who also turned up on "Parks and Recreation") and her husband, both of whom have suffered some rough injuries. He's having a tough time of it in surgery, she's faring better but banged up, and in the next bed is Emil (Brian George), the head waiter at the restaurant who's secretly been in love with her for the past 15 years. He slipped Alex $50 to be able to share the room with her. And when he thinks she's asleep, he tells Alex and Meredith about how he's known her for years, watched her with her husband, and loved her from afar. He knows they're unhappy because their conversation has dwindled, and he orders for her now where she used to be adventurous. He can see she's scared that her husband will die and she'll be alone, but she'll never have to be alone if she doesn't want to be. What he can't see is that she's awake and she's heard everything he said.
Meredith and Alex take bets on whether they'll tell one another they love each other, and in the midst there's a brilliant little scene in which Alex, Meredith and Cristina snark about marriage while eating the chocolates Alex took from a guy in a coma. They're easy with one another, and it's refreshing to see Alex be funny after so many weeks of being fraught.
Unfortunately, the wife has complications, and then Emil has to go to surgery with a brain bleed as her husband runs into some hairy complications on Bailey's surgical table. In the end, she survives and her husband survives, but Emil does not. And though she explained to Meredith that when she chose her husband over Emil she made a choice, and she continues to do so every day in her happy marriage, she's still heartbroken.
It's hard work being this pretty: Another of the awful traumas is a dishwasher whose arm was amputated. He desperately wants them to save it, and makes the case to the newly blonde Lexie and Avery. Lexie's gone "Trauma Room Barbie," as Avery puts it, in an effort to move on after the breakup with Mark, and he bucks her up and basically pushes her into becoming more assertive so she'll be treated differently. He does this with a speech about how tough he's had it, being so good looking that his family never expected anything from him. Aw, poor sap. Lexie talks Mark and Owen into reattaching the guy's arm even though both the arm and the amputation site were damaged and contaminated and they keep the blood supply flowing by attaching it temporarily to his torso — which understandably really upsets the poor guy. But Lexie talks him down from feeling like a freak — and then goes and sleeps with Alex again. Oh, Lexie. My countdown clock to her reunion with Mark stands at T-minus two episodes.
Bailey and the gas man: Bailey comes into the scene trailed by Callie and Arizona, who are all googly eyed and moony over Valentine's Day and their gifts for one another — which Bailey totally and hilariously shuts down. They're mostly forgivable, though, until they see Bailey get all flustered with the cute anesthesiologist (Jason George) when he asks her out to dinner. It continues when Arizona dives headlong into not at all subtle hinting about them dating while they're all in surgery, and finally Bailey confesses to him that she goes stupid around him because she likes him. And that she'd be cool with going to dinner. Bailey's dating! Woot!!
Mark and Sloan: Mark's all excited about being a granddad, and buys a crib. Then Sloan turns up, interested only in getting official proof that the baby is healthy so she can move forward with giving the baby up for adoption, which she hasn't told Mark about. Callie forces her hand, and she confesses her plans to Mark, saying that she's not ready to be a mother. He offers to adopt the baby, and Callie pledges her help in raising him. So Sloan agrees to at least discuss the idea and work it out. But Callie catches her sneaking out of Mark's apartment, and she admits that she only wanted money and a place to stay for a while. She didn't expect Mark to start caring. She wants the baby to be someone else's, she says — her father got a clean break, and she feels she deserves the same chance. Callie sends her off with some stern warnings about taking care of herself and a wad of cash, and then has to break the news to Mark about what happened. A good friend, that Callie.
Teddy and Owen and Cristina: Teddy's trying her hardest, but Owen won't even look at her — and what breaks her heart is that he's her best friend and she misses him. So she catches up to Owen and Cristina as they're leaving for the day and says that even though she confessed her love for him, she's going to un-ring the bell and take it back. She misses her friend and that — along with the job and the amazing student — is more important. She'll deal with the rest. She's going to be fine, and they're going to be friends, Teddy tells Owen. He looks skeptical, and I'm not seeing how this'll work, but I applaud Teddy for laying it out there. And I love that the makeup people lightened up a little bit this week and let Kim Raver be beautiful more on her own.
Dr. and Mrs. Derek Shepherd: Meanwhile, Derek's learning that being the chief of surgery is a lot more than being in the OR. It's also a lot of administrative work, talking to the press (that seemed weird) and fundraising efforts. He's rehired April Kepner (Sarah Drew), but instead of doing surgery she's focused on helping him with administrative duties. Which includes calling Meredith "Mrs. Derek Shepherd" (yeah, that doesn't go over well) and getting a little too zealous about picking out what Meredith will wear to a brunch with the hospital trustees. She's really doubting that she's cut out for surgery, but Derek steps up all Chief-like and gives her a great pep talk about her abilities. Meredith, predictably, gets all twitchy about the idea of having to play Derek's arm candy occasionally, but does a little manning up of her own and shows up for him. And after she's appropriately appalled by the placard announcing the reception honoring "Dr. and Mrs. Shepherd," tells Derek he's got some serious making up to do — in the sack. "Yes, dear."
What did you think? Were you surprised at how the Mark/Sloan storyline went down? Do you see a potential Mark-Lexie-Avery situation developing? Do you think Teddy can make her friendship with Owen work? How psyched are you about Bailey's date?

Thanksgiving Day Murder of Ex-Con in Phoenix Was Mexican Mafia Hit, Cops Say
A suspected Mexican Mafia member has been arrested in the shooting death of ex-con Erasmo Ledezma on Thanksgiving, as police say Mexican Mafia members had a "green light" to kill Ledezma because he had previously "snitched" to the cops.
The alleged gangster and shooter has been identified as Steven Benavidez, who -- as you can see in the picture to the right -- has a good amount of face tattoos.

According to court documents obtained by New Times, Ledezma told at least one person before his death that he thought the Mexican Mafia had the "green light" to kill him for "snitching" to the cops, leading to a recent arrest.

Witnesses told police that in the days before Ledezma's murder, several people were asking for his whereabouts, saying they needed to collect "taxes" from Ledezma, and that it was "time to pay up," the documents state.
In a probable-cause statement, police say the "taxing" of Mexican Mafia members is common, in order to support and fund the gang's criminal enterprises.
Witnesses told cops that Benavidez and other gangsters said told them they'd need to help find Ledezma, or the Mexican Mafia "would retaliate violently" against them, the documents state.
Based on these threats, police say one person gave up Ledezma's location.
Ledezma, who had a warrant out for his arrest at the time, was found shot to death around 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving, near Washington and 40th Street.
Police arrested Benavidez for murder and other charges after finding him in Phoenix on Friday night.
Police have identified alleged Mexican Mafia associates Julio Carrizoza and Yesenia Robles as conspirators in Ledezma's murder, and court documents note that other Mexican Mafia members are believe to have been involved as well.
Benavidez's bond has been set at $200,000.

Control orders could be replaced with a three-tier system of restrictions for terror suspects to avoid a Cabinet split on the issue, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation said today.
Lord Carlile said the compromise move could meet Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's civil liberties concerns over the use of controversial control orders "without disproportionately risking innocent lives".
A Home Office review of counter-terror measures is reported to have backed the retention of the orders, which impose severe restrictions on suspects who have not been charged, after receiving representations from MI5.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph today, Lord Carlile said foreign travel restrictions could be placed upon those suspected of wanting to travel abroad to train as terrorists.
A second tier of general travel restrictions could be imposed on individuals with "a more developed intent to participate in terrorist activity".
And, for the most serious cases, activity restriction orders could be enforced "where a judge was satisfied on the much raised standard of the balance of probabilities that the individual is a terrorist".
"The system would have an increasing scale of restrictions, including curfews (but not compulsory relocation) for the highest tier," Lord Carlile said.
His comments come after former Conservative leadership contender David Davis warned earlier this month that up to 50 coalition MPs could vote against the Government if it seeks to keep control orders.
Mr Davis - Tory shadow home secretary until he resigned his seat over civil liberties issues - said he would vote against any attempt by Home Secretary Theresa May to keep the orders, which have been compared to house arrest.
His comments were made amid claims that Prime Minister David Cameron feared a "car crash" on the issue which could split the Cabinet.
Liberal Democrat peer and former director of public prosecutions Lord Macdonald, who is overseeing the conduct of the counter-terror review, is reported to have written to Mrs May, warning that he would publicly denounce any decision to retain control orders.
Shami Chakrabarti, director of human rights group Liberty, said: "Lord Carlisle has a predictably uncompromising idea of compromise.
"You can slice, dice and re-name control orders but that will not alleviate the continuing scandal of indefinite punishment without charge or trial.
"Everyone involved in propping up this policy over the last five years should be thoroughly ashamed of a system that is as unsafe as it is un-British and unfair."
The Home Office said no decisions have yet been made.

Official trailer | ||
From Out of the Rain was the tenth episode in the second series of Torchwood. It was Julian Bleach's first appearance within the Doctor Who mythos, portraying the primary villain, a man known as the Ghostmaker. He would go on to appear in the main series and its other spin-off, the Sarah Jane Adventures. The episode was relatively less violent compared to the graphic nature of Torchwood Three's operations, in favour of a dark and foreboding atmosphere cast by the villains of the serial, who would suddenly appear in the cover of stormy, shadowy nights, similar to the wanton attacks of Jack the Ripper.
Synopsis Edit
When an old cinema re-opens, past horrors emerge to stalk the streets of Cardiff. As bodies are found with heartbeats but no breath, Torchwood must act fast. Who are the Night Travellers? How can Torchwood capture these mysterious breath takers?
Plot Edit
Local Cardiff residents transform an old cinema, the "Electro", into a local history museum airing old celluloid movies as part of its exhibits. The volunteer management discovers that a black-and-white film of a travelling company seems to take on a life of its own, restarting itself in the film projector and preventing the projector from being turned off for a period of time. Unknown to them two figures from the film, the troupe's leader and its "Mermaid Woman", step out of the projection screen and become real, disappearing into the streets of Cardiff. On the same night Ianto, who has convinced Gwen and Owen to join him for the evening at the museum, claims to see Jack in the footage. As the team review the film back at the Hub, Ianto notices the absence of the two characters, and the team recognises Jack. Jack admits that he was once part of such as show as the "man who could not die". and describes one troupe, known as the "Night Travellers", who would perform only at night, appearing by "coming out of the rain" and disappearing as mysteriously but usually resulting in some of the local residents going missing.
Meanwhile, the troupe's leader, known as the Ghostmaker, and the Mermaid Woman prey on innocent victims, drawing their "last breath" into a silver flask and leaving them with no saliva or tears, and close to death in a near vegetative state. Torchwood investigate and discover multiple stories and old superstitions relating to the Night Travellers, but a chance mention to a hospital nurse leads them to a still living eyewitness — an old woman in a nursing home. She explains to the team how her family was taken from her by the Night Travellers, and relates an old nursery tale that children should hold their breath as the travelling show came into town to prevent themselves from being taken.
As the team investigates, the Ghostmaker decides to release more of his companions from the film to regain their audience and begin travelling again like the old days. Jack surmises that if they were released from the film, they could be captured by it as well using a home movie camera. The team rushes back to the theatre as the Ghostmaker is releasing the others from the film and is able to use a camera to confine all the Night Travellers save for the Ghostmaker; Jack then rips open the camera and exposes the film to sunlight, effectively exorcising the ghosts. They are able to capture the Ghostmaker, who in a last fit of revenge, opens the silver flask and throws it into the air. Ianto catches and closes it quickly, but too late to save all but one victim; the other victims, with the loss of their breath, quickly pass away. Torchwood restores the breath to the last victim, a young boy, and the silver flask is stowed away back at Torchwood.
Though the rest of the team believe the threat is over, Jack surmises there may be more reels of the Night Travellers. Someone buys such a reel at a car boot sale. It has the emblem of the Night Travellers troupe carved on the canister. A man is inclined to pick it up, but drops it on the ground, dislodging the lid and exposing a piece of the film. He picks up the canister and closes the lid tight, but for a brief moment, the sound of familiar calliope music drifts into the air. The sound reaches all the way to Jack's ears, but vanishes almost immediately. Jack wonders for a moment if his suspicions are true. He dismisses it as hearing things that aren't there and resumes his duties, putting the case of the Night Travellers to rest... if time will allow.

References Edit
- Providence Park is a Welsh psychiatric hospital.
- Christina describes hurdy-gurdy music to Jack and Ianto.
- The Ghostmaker attempts to take Owen's breath, but cannot, as Owen is already dead.
- Jack Harkness was working on behalf of an (as-yet) unidentified organisation in the 1920s when he was assigned to infiltrate a travelling circus in order to investigate the Night Travellers. Although he never encountered them, by coincidence film footage of him got mixed in with footage of the Night Travellers.
- Owen makes up an aunt for Gwen named "Aunty Peggy".
Story notes Edit
- This episode's closing credits gave audiences their first notion that perhaps Gwen remained a Cooper after marriage. Audiences would have to wait a while for narrative confirmation, however. It wasn't until Torchwood: Miracle Day that dialogue with British officials unambiguously established that Gwen never officially took the Williams surname.
Ratings Edit
Filming locations Edit
The then-derelict Ynysangharad Lido in Pontypridd was the location of the pool scene where Pearl and the Ghostmaker are seen at night.

Our fight was delayed so we didn't reach Cape Town until dark. We reached our apartment and were greeted by gates, locks and 24 hour armed response signs!

You need to change XBMC so it allowed command line arguments to tell it where to start. That wouldn't be very hard, but I don't think it's high on anyone's todo list at the moment. JR |

It's All Dutch to Me!
Alan Allegra
6/23/2008 / Devotionals
"If you ain't Dutch, den you ain't much!" Such is the battle cry of the Pennsylvania Dutch.
The Dutch are known for their sense of humor. After searching for a few "Dutch" jokes that I understood well enough to laugh at, I realized that "If you ain't Dutch, they ain't funny much, onest." But I did find a few that were entertaining and enlightening.
Dutchmen are very peculiar about the freshness of their food. They are also very honest. Here is a story that combines freshness and honesty:
Customer: "Say, you wouldn't sell any fish that are not fresh, would you?"
Fish Man: "Of course not. I'd take the word 'fresh' right off my sign."
Honesty is certainly the best policy, but does not always tell the whole truth. "LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart" (Psalm 15:1, 2).
Two men jumped off the edge of a cliff to their death. When they were found one of the group remarked, "Well, at least they made it to the bottom safe."
There's a bright side to everything. "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:8, KJV).
In a little Pennsylvania townnot too wide-awake and not too worried about the tourists who came and wentan amusing incident is recorded about a stop sign on the edge of a cliff. It seems that a motorist did not see any signs on the road, and plunged headlong into a ravine off the edge of a cliff. Luckily, he was not killed nor hurt too badly, and he had an attorney sue the town fathers. "Why was there no sign there warning travelers of the dangerous cliff and ravine?" said the attorney. "Well now, your honor," said the counselor for the town, "We had a sign up there some years ago and no one ever went over, so we took it down." Moral: Don't go over cliffs unless there is a sign there.
"But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood" (Ezekiel 33:6).
The country parson used to preach against the sin of smoking at least once a month, and admonished his councilmen never to be caught smoking. On one of his regular visits to his congregation, he stopped where one of his deacons was smoking out in his barn. When the parson saw his deacon smoking, he started to tell him all about the devil and his sinfulness. "Hold on there now, Reverend," the deacon said, "Didn't you tell us that this here tobacco was the devil's own weed, and that our children and young folks ought not to smoke it?" "Why, yes, that's the truth, it is," said the parson. "Well, you see, Parson, I'm just smoking this stuff up so that those young people won't be tempted with it."
How easy it is to find a reason to indulge in something that we know is not right. We make excuses for wrong behavior and set a bad example. "Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 'The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach'" (Matthew 23:13).
So, outen the lights awhile and sink on dese tings.

My friend Allison is a lifeguard at our local pool; everytime she works, I sit with her at the pool. The kids all love us, and we have a pretty fun time with them too. This day there were only 5 of us there, so we started to horseplay, diving and having contests off the diving board. Since i didn;t have a bathing suit, I was the designated photographer.

Not the best looking dish, is it? But it tasted great and it really gives you a kick to start a day. This morning once again I opened Jamie Oliver's 'Jamie's America' and stopped by his interpretations of Mexican cuisine. So I gave it a go! The Mexican name for this dish is 'huevos rancheros' - eggs with chillies, tomatoes and peppers in burritos. Jamie even says it's especially good if 'you've got a hangover you're trying to shake off'! :DDDD If you want to bring this dish to another level and serve for brunch, serve with black beans, some steamed rice and a bottle of Tabasco or chilli sauce beside it.
What we need:
(serves 6)
olive oil
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 red peppers
2 fresh red or orange chillies
1 large dried chilli
3 bay leaves
salt and ground pepper
800gr of tinned chopped tomatoes
2 large tomatoes
6 large eggs
6 tortillas
150g Cheddar cheese to serve
What we have to do:
1. Put a large pan with a lid on a high heat and add several good lugs of olive oil. Add finely slices onion, garlic, deseeded and finely slices peppers and chillies, bay leaves and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 15 minutes to soften and caramelize the vegetables.
2. Pour in the tinned tomatoes and use a spoon or a potato masher to break them up a bit. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat to a medium and cook for further 5 minutes so the sauce starts to reduce down.
3. Correct the seasoning if you think it needs it.
4. Lay sliced tomatoes over the top of the mixture, then use spoon to make small wells in the tomato stew and crack in your eggs so they poach in the juices. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
5. Warm your tortillas.
6. Serve the vegetable stew and poached eggs on warm tortilla with some grated Cheddar cheese. You can also bring cheese and a grater to the table and get everyone involved and make their own. Wrap the tortilla up and eat it right away.
It is also a really healthy dish if you reduce the amount of oil and use wholeweat tortillas. Really what a beautiful way to wake up! Have a nice day everyone!

Smith, Andrew F. and Pope, C and Goodwin, Dawn and Mort, Maggie (2008) Interprofessional handover and patient safety in anaesthesia : observational study of handovers in the recovery room. British Journal of Anaesthesia, 101 (3). pp. 332-337. ISSN 1471-6771
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Background: We aimed to describe how anaesthetists hand over information and professional responsibility to nurses in the operating theatre recovery room. Methods: We carried out non-participant practice observation and in-depth interviews with practitioners working in the recovery room of an English hospital and used qualitative methods to analyse the resulting transcripts. Results: We observed 45 handovers taking place between 17 anaesthetists and 15 nurses in the recovery room of the operating theatre suite. These took place in an environment that is event-driven, time-pressured, and prone to concurrent distractions. Anaesthetists and nurses often had differing expectations of the content and timing of information transfer. The point at which transfer of responsibility for the patient occurred during the handover process was variable and depended not only on the condition of the patient but also on the professional relationship between the nurse and doctor concerned. Handover also provided an 'audit point' in care where the patient's intraoperative progress was reviewed and plans were made for further management. Here, as in the transfer of responsibility, we found evidence that nurses play a greater role in defining the limits of anaesthetists' practice than might be expected. Conclusions: Patient handovers in the recovery room are largely informal, but nevertheless show many inherent tensions, both professional and organizational. Although formalized handover procedures are often advocated for the promotion of safety, we suggest that they are likely to work best when the informal elements, and the cultural factors underlying them, are acknowledged.

Johnny's is a place that has been around forever (since 1977) but hadn't received much attention or respect, at least in my circles. That may have changed a little when His Doucheness Guy Fieri dropped by a while back on his "Kansas City Barbecue Tour" for Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. This place came across very well on the program and the food looked great on TV, but everyone I know who had been there said Johnny's just wasn't very good.
Apparently not everyone feels that way, because when I stopped by recently, this fairly spacious BBQ joint on Broadmoor was full of people at the lunch hour. There is nothing to alarm the discerning barbecue diner upon entering. You order at a counter, jauntily accented with an old school menu board and a display of barbecue sauces that is dizzying in its comprehensiveness.
The staff persons are very friendly and helpful, particularly the owner who is typically present behind the counter expediting orders or out in the dining room delivering food. Simpler dishes like sliced meat sandwiches are presented right at the counter soon after ordering. Others are delivered to you out at your table.
The highly touted barbecued chicken is probably one of the better versions around town. As seen in the DDD video, it is smoked and then deep-fried to give the bird a relatively crisp crust. As a result, the chicken is much moister and has a pleasantly crunchy skin, unlike chickens I've had at other BBQ joints such as Zarda, who recently served me a dry-ish, flabby chicken that looked better but tasted worse than this one.
That being said, poultry is one of the most forgiving meats to smoke and I was hoping for more wood flavor from Johnny's bird. While not among the best barbecue I've tasted, Johnny's chicken had a hypnotizing effect on me, and I found myself stripping every piece of meat and gnawing on the bones. The portion is good too-a half chicken seems like a lot but really is only a pound and a half of meat which is rounded out perfectly by Johny's decent baked beans which are cooked in the smoker but come across as a very traditional, molasses-flavored Boston-style baked bean.
I suspect that the sauce turns a lot of barbecue purists off. It is extremely red, more pronounced than the color of ketchup and is applied liberally to most dishes unless you request that it be left off. While not particularly assertive, it has a distinctive tanginess that complements lighter meats better than beef or ribs. Some diners assume that the sauce is inferior because of its color while I find it acceptable, certainly better than the oddly sweet stuff at the otherwise superior RJ's up the road.
The fries are nothing special: crinkle-cut frozen numbers that get the job done but really should be better considering the competition from other barbecue joints like Arthur Bryant's and Oklahoma Joe's who dish out superb, hand-cut fries.
The burnt ends are prepared well but lack the smoky punch that I expect from the best barbecue. The sandwich comes on a soft hoagie roll, topped with red onions and pickle slices, all of which are utterly unnecessary and ridiculous. At my core I feel that barbecue should be meat, sauce and white bread.
The decor is alas, drab as hell, reminiscent of a chain diner like Waid's. The walls are sadly devoid of much artwork and the furniture is pure, cheap commercial dreck: Formica tables, vinyl booths, industrial carpeting.
The service is great here all around. The owner is very active in the daily operations and is typically out on the floor delivering food and making sure people are happy. At the risk of being indelicate, I should point out that Johnny's employs a couple of developmentally disabled bus-people, a practice that I whole-heartedly endorse and appreciate. Those who have worked with such people (as I have have) or have them in your family (which I do) realize that providing a source of income is extremely important in contributing to their quality of life and promoting independence and self-sufficiency. One of the bus-women noticed that my paper towels had run out and chatted with me while replacing them with a fresh roll. I've never had a bus-person introduce herself to me before, but she did, and I found it a delightful exchange. Johnny's gets big kudos for giving an opportunity to people who are often overlooked.
In general, this place is a lot better than I was led to believe, but not among the brightest lights of KC barbecue. I think Johnny's is legitimate and probably unworthy of ridicule. It's certainly worth a visit for those who want to familiarize themselves with the range of barbecue available in the area.

I agree 100% with this review. People who deride Johnny's do so not because the food is bad, but because they're spoiled by (insert other bbq place they like better). I live relatively close to Johnny's, but I also live less than 10 minutes from Bates City, Quick's, and RJ's. Frankly, I like those three better. But I'd eat at Johnny's before Woodyard and WAYYYY before Wyandot.
(An aside: I would say Johnny's longevity means they're doing something right, but how do you explain Wyandot?)
Bottom line – Johnny's would be the best BBQ joint in the vast majority of American cities. -
i love it – "not worthy of ridicule"… another informative and hilarious review!
Jon and I ate here a couple weeks ago. We had never heard of it before. He'll be posting something about it on the blog soon. I really enjoyed it though…reminded me of bbq we would have way back in the 1970s before everyone became an expert and opened their own restaurants.
We couldn't decide on where to go for lunch that Saturday and just used the Urban Spoon Shake application on our phones and it was the first thing that popped up. Only after that did we find out it was on DDD. It is way outside of our 49/63 bubble, but it was a fun road trip.
Thanks for weighing in folks. I almost expected people to pile on the hate but it's nice to see I'm not insane for thinking Johnny's was pretty decent. Wyandot BBQ is one of KC's greatest mysteries. All I can think is that the location is good and there aren't other BBQ options in the immediate vicinity. John Eric, I'll look forward to Jon's review.
We both liked it much better than RJ's. The service was much better. We spoke to friends about this place later that day at our weekly dart tournament and everyone was saying how much they liked it. Apparently they have breakfast and a couple of our friends eat there for that meal on a regular basis. I don't remember seeing a breakfast menu.
Usually when we go out to our weekly Saturday lunch the dining room is empty – because we eat 11-ish. We were glad we got there when we did. There were only a couple of people in front of us in line. By the time we got our food, the line was to the front door. So, it looks like they must have some admirers.
You're much more detailed than we were in our review. Great review! It's up on our blog now.
Ever tried to smoke a chicken? Not a lot of fun. I've been on a BBQ team for a few years and have been stuck with the clucker. OK chicken is certainly doable, outstanding chicken is a colossal pain in the ass. Having said that, I've eaten at Johnny's and couldn't agree more. Nice folks, good food and fair prices.
I have lived in Mission for twenty years and I know really good BBQ. Johnnys is decent everyday BBQ that is not bad at all but not the best either. It's good enough for me and to drive anywhere else is a waste of time. Unless I'm by Bryants at the Legends or LC's. My two personal fav's.
They do deserve better recognition. Been eating their for twenty years now. They DO do things right. -
Hey Dave – Wanted to let you know that something seems to be awry with your RSS feed. For the last week or so, every post has been feeding through with the contents of the Lobito's review (but its own post title).
I had never eaten at Johnny's until I saw the special about the joint on tv. I went there with a few family and friends and we all ate something different.
I had the chicken and really thought I was eating something from HyVee that had been warmed up.
Had 4 kids with me including 3 teenagers. I think it was the first time I have ever seen left overs on their plate. Now if a teenage football player doesn't finish his plate, there is something wrong.
I like reviews, just be honest. People eat there because it is close.

Ordinary Time: November 14th
Wednesday of the Thirty-Second Week of Ordinary Time
» Enjoy our Liturgical Seasons series of e-books!
Old Calendar: St. Josaphat, bishop and confessor; St. Lawrence O'Toole (Hist)
According to the 1962 Missal of Bl. John XXIII the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, today is the feast of St. Josephat, a Catholic of the Ruthenian rite. He was an apostle of the return of the Orthodox schismatics to the Church of Rome. At the age of twenty he became a Basilian monk, and while still young was made superior of his monastery, then archimandrite of Vilna and finally Archbishop of Polotsk. The young Archbishop's zeal for the cause of the "uniates" aroused the hatred of the schismatics, and he was murdered by a mob at Vitebsk in 1623 at the age of forty-three. His prayer contained the conversion of his murderers. He is one of the patrons of Poland. His feast in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite is celebrated on November 12.
St. Lawrence O'Toole
St. Lawrence O'Toole was born around 1128 in County Kildare, Ireland. His father was the chief of Hy Murray, and his mother one of the Clan O'Byrne. At the age of 10, Lawrence was given up as a hostage to King Mac Murehad of Leinster, who treated him with such inhumanity that his father obliged the King to turn him over to the Bishop of Glendalough.
Purgatory is Temporary
Purgatory is not eternal. Its duration varies according to the sentence pronounced at each particular judgment. It may be prolonged for centuries in the case of the more guilty souls, or of those who, being excluded from the Catholic communion, are deprived of the suffrages of the Church, although by the divine mercy they have escaped hell. But the end of the world, which will be also the end of time, will close for ever the place of temporary expiation. God will know how to reconcile His justice and His goodness in the purification of the last members of the human race, and to supply by the intensity of the expiatory suffering what may be wanting in duration. But, whereas a favorable sentence at the particular judgment admits of eternal beatitude being suspended and postponed, and leaves the bodies of the elect to the same fate as those of the reprobate; at the universal judgment, every sentence, whether for heaven or for hell, will be absolute, and will be executed immediately and completely. Let us, then, live in expectation of the solemn hour, when "the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God." He that is to come will come, and will not delay, as the Doctor of the Gentiles reminds us; His arrival will be sudden, as that of a thief, we are told, not only by St. Paul, but also by the prince of the apostles and the beloved disciple; and these in turn are but echoing the words of our Lord Himself: "As lightning cometh out of the east and appears even unto the west: so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be."
- Say a prayer for the Poor Souls; for instance, recite the Little Litany of the Holy Souls.
- Offer up some small sacrifice for the relief of the most abandoned soul. "It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins" (Mc. 12:46).
