Everything I expected. I mean, what can you say about a sweat band right? Honestly though, high quality, perfect color and great comfort.
These wristbands are thin. I've tried Nike and Babolat and they are both too thick. They soak up the sweat better and they don't irritate my face at all. I like how they are reversible so I can use them for my home and away matches. Adidas is the best.

A breast biopsy will help you learn if you have cause for concern about a mass seen on mammography or if you have abnormal breast tissue. During this procedure, samples of breast tissue are removed with a special biopsy needle or during surgery. Then the cells are examined to see if they are normal cells or cancer cells. This animation will guide you through the procedure.

You lie on your back with your feet in stirrups. The health care provider with insert an instrument called a speculum into the vagina. This instrument is used during regular female pelvic exams. It is used to stretch open the vagina in order to better view certain pelvic structures.
After the
The swab is removed and sent to a laboratory, where it will be smeared on a slide. A series of stains called a gram stain is applied to the sample.

Al Gore – he's hot
The Times – July 6 2007
– Ginny Dougary
Once derided as a wooden politician, Al Gore is the man of the moment. On the eve of his series of 'save the planet' Live Earth rock concerts, Ginny Dougary finds him warm, witty, passionate and attractive
Photo: Brett Wilson
The Goracle – also known in Washington these days as "Al Gore: rock star" – clears his throat and starts singing the lines from a Bob Dylan song quietly and unselfconsciously: " 'I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now' . . . it's a lovely lyric. He's written so many great ones . . . like 'He not busy being born is busy dying'." The former Vice-President of the United States may be joining the likes of Madonna and the Pussy-cat Dolls on stage at Wembley's Live Earth concert tomorrow but his vocalising – as far as I know – will be restricted to challenging each and every member of the audience to make a pledge right now to do his or her bit to save the planet.
The rock-star epithet – awarded by The Washington Post – is partly a reference to his involvement in the Live Earth concerts: a massive event spanning seven continents and involving 150 acts, with a global reach of two billion people. But it's also an acknowledgment of Al Gore's new charisma (not a word that would ever have been applied to him when he was in mainstream politics), where his name – as a leading, Oscar-winning environmental campaigner – is now a big draw and standing ovations are the norm.
Why, he even looks a bit like a rock star, all in black from his sharply tailored jacket, nipping in his barrel chest, to his cowboy boots: a far cry from the bland Ivy League uniform of chinos and loafers.
The singing came after one of several concerted attempts on my part to establish the definitive response to the question that we all want answered: will Al Gore run for the presidency in 2008? Last week's poll, conducted in the key state of New Hampshire, showed that Democrats would prefer Gore to any of the declared contenders (Hillary Clinton, the forerunner, would be forced into second place by 6 percentage points) even though he has yet to enter the race.
If you really want to make the crucial difference to affect climate change, isn't it imperative that you run for the presidency? "Hmmm." Because even if you don't care to, and you like your life more now than you did before . . . "Hmmm." For every person you reach with these concerts and your slideshow lectures and film ( An Inconvenient Truth), the one individual who really has the power to make dramatic changes is the President of the United States … "Hmmm." And now is your time! And anyway, didn't you make a sort of promise to your father on his deathbed that you would "always do right"? "Hahahaha."
This is a hollow, slightly embarrassed, laugh but as the interview progresses the laughter becomes increasingly genuine, until by the end of our brief encounter any trace of the old "wooden" Gore has been replaced by an appealing combination of cool, wry humour and bursts of passion.
Much has been made of the Goracle's increased heft – and not just politically – in these so-called "wilderness years", but while he may be fleshier (much continues to be made of the loss of his movie-star jawline), he also radiates the sense of being comfortable in his skin, and that is undeniably attractive.
"It's a fair point that no position in the world has as much potential for bringing about change as that of President of the US. But I ran for president twice, and ['eee-arnd', he says with a southern twang] I have now launched a different kind of campaign" – his delivery slow and measured – "aimed at raising awareness and giving knowledge of the solutions to the climate crisis all round the world. While it's true that I haven't ruled out the possibility of running at some point in the future, the reason I don't expect to is that I've fallen out of love with politics."
What an arresting phrase, spoken with all the disenchantment of a disappointed lover – "fallen out of love with politics", from a man who was groomed from birth by his Democrat senator father, Al Sr, for the highest office in the land. He knows that there is still anger, and not just among the Democrats, that he didn't somehow fight harder to prevent the final outcome of that messy election in 2000 which resulted in the Bush Administration, the non-signing of the Kyoto treaty and the war in Iraq.
"I've seen the limitations of politics when public opinion will not support the kind of dramatic change that's really necessary," Gore continues. "I've seen that at first hand. And focusing on changing public opinion at the grassroots level feels like the right thing for me to be doing."
For someone who is pushing 60 you're talking very much like a young person, if I may say so. We are always hearing that the young are disaffected with the main political parties but are much more likely to respond to single issues – do you agree?
After his mini-warble, Gore says: "I feel," (it is striking how often he uses "feel" rather than "think") that this climate crisis is far and away the most serious challenge we've ever faced, and it's a challenge first and foremost to the moral imagination. We have never in the past confronted anything like this; never had this radically new relationship to the planet.
"We've quadrupled population in less than 100 years. We're using routinely technologies that are a thousandfold more powerful than those our grandparents had available to them, and we're now the bull in the china shop. And becoming conscious of what we're doing worldwide about how to stop putting all this global-warming pollution into the air is really the most urgent challenge we have to face."
I watched An Inconvenient Truth with my family the evening before meeting Gore, and was struck by what an impact it made on us all, regardless of our generation. It's a film that forces viewers, whatever their experiences, to join the dots together.
As Gore says, while we watch diagrams of the edges of continent after continent submerged in water – the sure result of all this catastrophic melting – it is hard not to shift straight from denial to despair. But optimism is crucial, and not misplaced: "We have everything we need [to tackle this] save political will," he says, "and in America political will is a renewable energy."
Gore was a lone voice in American politics to speak out against the Iraq invasion, which he opposed from the outset (Hillary Clinton voted for the war in the Senate, although she now says that she was misled by the Bush Administration). "There's no longer any dispute about the fact that the Iraq war was a horrible mistake," he says.
Unlike, famously, Bush or Clinton, Gore has first-hand knowledge of the horrors of war because he volunteered for Vietnam out of a sense of duty, despite his public opposition to it. He didn't serve his full two years but saw and recorded enough as a military reporter to feel the need to enrol in divinity school for a year on his return: "It was a way of – ahhh – searching in an organised way for answers to some of the questions that I confronted when I faced what seemed to a young man to be a moral dilemma about going to Vietnam. But in any case," he clears his throat again, "I've always been a person of faith."
He calls himself a Christian but he also meditates in times of stress: "I don't often talk about this," he says hesitantly, "but I believe in a very personal definition of what I think the Creator of the Universe is – that God is a moving force in the world – but I don't think everything is predetermined in any way, and I think that what we do matters and the choices we make matter, and I think it's up to us to try our best to make better choices."
He sees no signs of Bush making better choices, but surely we can't afford to dismiss the possibility that he might. "Well, it's true and I have to admit to you – however – that I have recently begun to fear that I am – ah – losing my objectivity where Bush is concerned." This is said with an hilarious deadpan expression. "Yaiiirs, and Cheney, too, I must say." But on the positive side: "Congress has already acted. I have gone to Capitol Hill and testified before the House and the Senate, and they are now moving. So we can have some new laws even before Bush leaves office."
Can I draw an analogy between you and Gordon Brown? "Of course," Gore says in his amiable way: he might just be the politest person I've ever interviewed. "You mean, Number Twos who become Number One?" he asks mock-archly. Oh, are you hinting . . . "Well, he made it and I didn't." There's still time. "Hahahahaha, yes, I'm a young man – 59 is the new 49!"
The point I want to make is that with both Brown and Gore (when he was in office) there is an unhelpful schism between their private (witty, charming, relaxed) and public (dour: Brown; wooden: Gore) selves. Does Gore agree? "I used to be described that way but I haven't been in a long time," he says. "I think that people see [Brown] very differently now that he is Prime Minister." Even so soon? "Yes, I do. I think you've seen an almost instant change in the way that people perceive him. Perhaps it's influenced by his excellent handling of this terror threat, but there is some evidence that he is experiencing a surge in the polls. Part of that comes from people seeing him as Prime Minister and not as Number Two. I think that does colour people's perceptions."
Do you think it's true that you seem far more engaged and passionate as an environmental campaigner than when you were running for President? "The perceptions of candidates are affected by the lens that we all use when we look at candidates – and when one is not a candidate there is a different lens," he says. "But it's true as well. Even though I was inspired when I was holding political office to address the climate crisis [he has campaigned on this issue for 30 years], there is a kind of luxury in being able to focus single-mindedly on one issue out of the entire panoply, and the opportunity to focus on it intensely might not be as possible for someone holding office."
Dick Morris, Bill Clinton's campaign manager, made an arresting comparison between Gore and Clinton's respective personalities: "In private Gore is what Clinton is like in public. And in public he's like Clinton in private. When he's not in front of a microphone, Gore is witty, urbane, informal, empathetic and often subtle, displaying attributes that Clinton reserves for the stage."
It may sound cheeky, but do you think that Clinton is so charismatic that your lustre was eclipsed by his? "Hmmm, hmmm – well, I never saw it that way. I thought we were an excellent team. I think he's uncommonly talented as a politician, much as Tony Blair was uncommonly talented, and I think that both Gordon Brown and I have a different set of talents – and someone who is Number Two and in waiting, if you will, is inevitably seen in a different way."
America, soon to be overtaken by China, is the largest source of global-warming pollution in the world. What will it take to make Americans wake up and believe that global warming is real before it's too late?
"Well, Sir Winston Churchill said – I'm sure you know the quote – 'The American people generally do the right thing . . . after first exhausting every available alternative'. And I think we have exhausted the alternatives and we're now just about ready to do the right thing on climate."
Lest we feel smug about "those dumb Americans" – and in answer to Bob Geldof's complaint that tomorrow's event is just another enormous pop concert and "we're all f*****g concious of global warming" – it turns out that we're not as smart as we think we are. Gore points out: "Did you see this morning's major new MORI poll which shows that in the UK, 56 per cent of the people are notaware that there is a scientific concensus that global warming is caused by human actitivities?" We know from the smoking ban that the unthinkable can become the thinkable overnight. But: "The first establishment of the national consensus on smoking was in 1964," Gore points out, "and it's taken that long to convince enough people, one by one, of the need for the new laws on smoking. But we don't have 40 years left to make enough changes on this issue one by one – so that's the reason for these mass events like Live Earth worldwide, to speed up that process.
"There's an old African proverb that says 'If you want to go quickly, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together'. We have to go far – quickly. And this is just the beginning of a three-year massive campaign."
Gore doesn't like to call himself an eco-warrior ("it sounds a bit hubristic and militaristic, doesn't it?") but he is gathering forces – Al's army – in his battle to save the planet. He has already trained 1,300 people to give his slide show, attended by 200 people at an event in Cambridge University (including, rather surprisingly, Sir Alex Ferguson). Then there's Australia, and India at the end of the year, China next, and Africa – "whatever it takes to persuade enough people to reach that critical mass, that's what we have to do. So let's get on with it, that's my feeling."
Our time is almost up. I have one final question. Gore has said that he has learnt a lot in the past six years. "Having been through some of the experiences I've been through, I can confirm the old cliché that we often learn the most from [a little, rueful laugh] the most painful experiences."
Could you be more specific? "It's hard to be. But letting go of . . . Kris Kristofferson wrote a line that Janis Joplin sang: 'Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose . . .'" Yes, I think I see. So do you feel free now? "Yes," Al Gore says. "I do."

In this time when news is disseminated ever more quickly, we asked our critics to list the best of culture in 2013 in tweet form:
1. "Gravity:" A perfect marriage of art and technology, Alfonso Cuarón's film and Sandra Bullock's performance, out of this world in wondrous ways.
2. "American Hustle:" David O. Russell's raucous, riotous con game. Christian Bale's hustle and flow, Jennifer Lawrence's scene stealing. Wow, baby.
3. "12 Years a Slave": "The Butler," "Fruitvale Station:" Beautifully rendered portraits of our racial past. In looking back, the future may change.
4. "Her": Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams caught up in Spike Jonze's acerbic techno love triangle. Brilliant concept, great execution.
5. "Blue Is the Warmest Color": For using sex — explicitly — to get beyond sex and into purer extremes of love; and introducing Adele Exarchopoulos.
6. "Inside Llewyn Davis": In my book the Coen brothers do no wrong. It's only a matter of what they're doing right. Everything, and Oscar Isaac too.
7. "Nebraska," "Mud": Earthy stories, harsh realities. Bruce Dern, Matthew McConaughey, respectively, handle the raw and real exceptionally.
8. "Saving Mr. Banks," "Philomena": Men driven crazy by smart, insistent women. Emma Thompson, Judi Dench perfectly on point. What's not to like?
9. "The Armstrong Lie," "Inequality for All," "The Unknown Known": Shrewd docs that show truth is not just stranger than fiction, it's far scarier.
10. "Frozen," "The Way Way Back": Disney animation and indie comedy. Very different beasts. Both made me laugh. And that, my friends, is priceless.

The venerable Ultima franchise is coming to Android this spring by way of a lightweight role-playing game called Ultima Forever: Quest of the Avatar. We got to play around a bit with it at GDC 2013, and it really does promise to bring the classic hardcore MMO model to a more casual audience. Players party up in groups of four to delve into dungeon romps that last five minutes and up, depending on how much time you and your buddies have.
You've got all of the standard trappings of a classic RPG in Ultima Forever - slaying monsters, gaining experience points, leveling up, unlocking abilities, and amassing loot - but there's a ton of storyline to chew through here too. You've got to remember that Ultima has been around for ages, and so there's a lot of lore to pull on. There's a tie-in with Facebook so you can keep in touch with any players there and coordinate your next raid.
By far my favorite mechanic of the whole game is how they handle virtues. Making certain decisions in dialog and completing quests will have players gain different kinds of virtue points. Every city values a handful of virtues, so the more highly-ranked you are in one of its associated virtues, the more quests are available to you in that city. You even earn virtue points for helping out your underlevelled friends on quests.
I've poured more than a few hours into Ultima Online, so it's great to see the world coming to Android in a social, bite-sized way. The only downer is that there's no crafting or housing systems as of yet, which were major staples in the older games. Fingers are crossed that they'll bring those options in through a future update.

In dangerous corners of the world, Lucy Duncan is helping countries better their police and military operations, secure their ports and transport equipment from continent to continent.
One of her most significant operations is in Afghanistan where her North Charleston-based company, Safe Ports, is working with the U.S. military to pack up and transport equipment and supplies as the United States ends its lengthy presence in Afghanistan.
It's a high-profile role for a woman in a predominantly male industry, not to mention a country where women aren't given these kinds of leadership positions.
While she recognizes her special position, Duncan, president and CEO of Safe Ports, isn't intimidated. This is a woman who knows exactly what she's doing.
Duncan's resume has the makings of a page-turning biography with tales of her early graduation from Ashley Hall in Charleston, starting a public relations company focused on the music industry (her first clients were The Commodores), and her chance meeting with the head of the Miami port that led to her work in the city's growing tourism industry.
But it was after Sept. 11, 2001, that Duncan began to think about how she could use her international experience and her connections with global movers and shakers to aid in the war on terrorism.
After the attacks on the United States, security was immediately tightened at the U.S. borders and at airports but Duncan saw the need for increased port security.
She began talks with congressional leaders to determine if there was a role for a company like hers. Those conversations took Duncan to the Middle East as adviser to the 16-member countries of the Arab League of Ports.
As she learned more about the world of logistics, the defense industry was a natural progression for the work Safe Ports was doing.
The company won a major Department of Defense contract in Afghanistan, where her employees work around the clock at Kandahar Airfield, sorting, organizing and shipping the vast amounts of equipment and supplies the military has been using during the war. "We really fill in the gaps when the military needs to surge," she said of defense contractors like Safe Ports. "That makes me proud. We are stepping in to fill an important role."
Safe Ports also has an office in Arlington, Va. Duncan divides her time between there and North Charleston. Plus, she travels around the world where the company has projects and employees, including Jordan, Afghanistan, Philippines, Venezuela, Peru, Honduras and Guatemala.
Safe Ports, which has fewer than 50 employees, was recently recognized by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency for providing outstanding readiness support in Afghanistan.
The company was recognized in two categories: as a small business and as a woman-owned business. Duncan accepted the award at the Business Alliance Awards Ceremony at Fort Belvoir, Va., earlier this week.
"An award like this is the pinnacle," Duncan said. "It's the kind of award you work your entire life for."
And yet it's made Duncan realize she still has so much to do. She's taking her international experience and logistics knowledge to other mission-critical markets.
For example, a government in need of modernizing its police force could hire Safe Ports to oversee all facets of the operation, Duncan explained.
Safe Ports would step in to help the government determine how much and what kind of equipment it needs, from police cars to bullet-proof vests.
Then those supplies would be shipped to Charleston for sorting and organizing before being transported overseas.
Once the supplies arrive in the country, Safe Ports' employees handle distribution and maintenance. Safe Ports also may oversee any construction projects as well as outsourcing appropriate training. "What makes the people here tick, including me, is we like the mission-critical environment," Duncan said.
She's taking that same passion for critical situations to Latin America, where drug cartels fuel a global terrorism network. These drug cartels are highly sophisticated, said Duncan, explaining how in one country they hacked a port network so their shipments could come through the port completely undetected.
Duncan isn't put off by that kind of challenge. Rather, she looks at that situation and thinks, "How can we help beef up security in the port?"
She draws on the work in Afghanistan, experiencing lockdowns and riding out IED blasts in a safe house, and applies it to equally dangerous corners of the world fighting drug trafficking and terrorism. "The lessons learned working in an environment that is so difficult we will take into countries at front lines of this battle."
Duncan is an example of a woman who embraces her role in the business world, recognizing that women have instincts and communication skills that add tremendous value to the business world.
"There are gifts women bring to the board room, the world stage and the military," Duncan said. "There's something in our core instinct, in our DNA."
Duncan will be helping shape the next generation of men and women working in the security field as a member of the advisory board for The Citadel's School of Humanities & Social Sciences.
Specifically, she will be offering insights on curriculum for the new graduate and undergraduate programs in national security studies and intelligence analysis.
"I'd like to see more women graduate from The Citadel and come into military leadership," she said.
Amanda Weingarten, assistant dean for development in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, said she first met Duncan five years ago at the College of Charleston when Duncan and her late husband, Ronald Scheman, served on an advisory board there.
Now working for The Citadel and developing a master's program in intelligence and national security, Weingarten said Duncan quickly came to mind as someone who could help The Citadel build strategic partnerships.
"And, of course, I knew her personally to be somebody very hard working, dynamic and passionate," Weingarten said. "We thought she would be a great mentor to female cadets."
Weingarten said Duncan already has been an invaluable resource, working with corporate sponsors at the Southeast Region Security & Intelligence Conference that The Citadel hosted in Charleston earlier this month.
Duncan spoke to the crowd of about 150 of the "who's who" in the national security and intelligence community, giving an address on the security threats facing the nation beyond al-Qaida: drug trafficking and terrorism funding.
In addition to fostering partnerships and advising curriculum, Duncan will be invited to speak to students, particularly female students in this new program, Weingarten said.
"This is a male-dominated field, and so she really does represent the future of women in national security to a lot of female cadets and the graduate students who will be enrolled in our program."

(Reuters) - The Minnesota Wild added some leadership and grit to their lineup by acquiring veteran forward Mike Rupp from the New York Rangers, the National Hockey League team said on Monday.
The Wild, who made a major splash in the off season by signing free agents Zach Parise and Ryan Suter to matching $98 million deals, continue to tweak their roster, sending forwards Darroll Powe and Nick Palmieri to New York for the 33-year-old Rupp.
The well-traveled Rupp has had stints New Jersey Devils, Phoenix Coyotes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Pittsburgh Penguins and Rangers during 10 NHL seasons, recording 53 goals, 41 assists and 765 penalty minutes.
The six-foot, five-inch forward had zero points in eight games for the Rangers this season but in 2003 scored the Stanley Cup clinching goal for the Devils.
Powe has also appeared in eight games this year, failing to register a point, while Palmieri has spent the season in the minor leagues.

Managers Reveal the Most Bizarre Reasons People Give for Quitting Their Jobs
Just because the unemployment rate is high doesn't mean everyone is desperate for work — some are even willing to leave their jobs altogether.
And when they do, the reasons they sometimes give are rather eyebrow-raising.
Staffing services company OfficeTeam recently surveyed more than 1,300 senior managers, who revealed the most bizarre things employees told them when heading for the door.
Some were truly head-scratching:
- "Our employee said he was joining the circus."
- "One person left because she lost her cell phone too many times at work."
- "We had someone quit to participate in a reality show."
- "An employee said it was his routine to change jobs every six months."
Others were following a dream:
- "One worker left to become an apple farmer."
- "A staff member quit to climb Mount Everest."
- "There was an individual who left to play the trombone."
- "One worker quit to join a rock band."
Some just weren't cut out for 9-5:
- "One person left because she didn't want to work so hard."
- "Someone quit because she was going to live off her trust fund."
- "An employee said work was getting in the way of having fun."
- "The worker told us he just couldn't get up in the morning."
And still others had an overly-developed sense of aesthetics:
- "A person quit because he hated the carpet."
- "One worker did not like the colors of the walls."
- "The employee quit because the office building was unattractive."
- "Someone felt the lobby area was too small."
But regardless, Robert Hosking, executive director of OfficeTeam, said, "How you leave a job can be just as important as what you did while you were there…making a graceful exit by tying up loose ends and thanking colleagues shows your professionalism and can help you down the road in your career."

Two fathers whose daughters were victims of child sex exploitation tracked down their abusers – only to be arrested by police themselves.
The dads had attempted to remove their daughters from houses where abuse was taking place, but they were the ones who were then arrested by police.
Prof Jay's inquiry said police often treated victims with 'contempt', frequently arresting them while taking no action against those committing offences.
Her report said: "In two of the cases, fathers tracked down their daughters and tried to remove them from houses where they were being abused, only to be arrested themselves when police were called to the scene.
"In a small number of cases, the victims themselves were arrested for offences such as breach of the peace or being drunk and disorderly, with no action taken against the perpetrators of rape and sexual assault against children."
The report revealed there has been only a 'small number' of successful prosecutions for offences against children.
It said: "The courage required of children to give evidence against their attackers has been rightly commended, but the challenges cannot be underestimated.
"Many children refused to give evidence, or withdrew statements as a direct result of threats, intimidation and assaults against them or their families.
"Overall, the small number of prosecutions is disproportionate to the numbers of children abused and the seriousness of the offences committed against them."
District Commander for Rotherham, Chief Superintendent Jason Harwin, who started in post in 2012, said the way South Yorkshire Police deals with the issue has improved. He added an 'unreserved apology' to victims.
He said: "We have completely overhauled the way in which we deal with abuse and that's been recognised in the report and by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary earlier this year. In the last four years we've made significant strides in how we protect those at risk."

Neigh Problem
What a stooshie about the Irish food agency's findings of horse meat in hamburgers. Tesco, in particular, appears to have had the highest percentage of the meat in its burgers.
The food agency found that 10 out of 27 hamburger products analysed contained horse DNA and 23 of them tested positive for pig DNA.
In this country it's not tradition these days to eat horse meat but it's still eaten in France where I've consumed the meat more often than I can remember. It's rather tasty - slightly sweeter than beef and was always very tender, although that could have been down to the cooking process. I never bought horse meat and cooked it myself, but I would think it's treated in a similar manner to steak.
It's understandable for people to be angry with supermarkets for misleading them by displaying incorrect descriptions of their hamburgers, but I have no understanding of those presenting their faux outrage at the fact horse meat is involved.
I've never had any desire to eat horse meat these days because it is not available here but if my butcher did offer it then I may be tempted to buy the odd steak now and again. After all, what's the difference between the meat of a cow, calf, sheep pig or horse?
For years I've refrained from buying supermarket-own meat if at all possible. Some years ago now a TV channel produced a damning documentary on the packaging system within the Tesco system and even today, when I look at Tesco's own branded meat, I'm vividly reminded of the horrors of that programme. My meat is bought from a local butcher and yes, it is more expensive, but I just buy less. If I need to buy meat products from a supermarket I ensure it's produced and packaged by a reputable company. Highland Game's venison burgers are a favourite here.

Agreed. I ate horse steak in Spain way way back and loved it; the donkey Salami was delicious as well. Quite why the media are referring to "contamination" beats me.
We're lucky too meatwise; Frome has the best Farmers' Market in the South West, and we can get bags of bloody meat of all kinds from local sources; the only meat I ever buy from the supermarket is bacon, when we run out.

The "Independent" today has an item about some chef's going in for hoggett, mutton and poultry from older free range birds on the grounds of taste, texture and quality. I am very cross about this because they are putting up the prices of stuff we have been eating. But you have to be a little canny in that it says two year old sheep and not worn out wool or lamb providers. As for horsemeat, so what if it is sound? The amazing thing is that in a lot of cheap supermarket stuff there is a whole lot of other rubbish that is neither needed nor healthy.

I believe it's a self-inflicted debacle by the supermarkets.
For years they've screwed their suppliers on price.
So the suppliers have had to source the cheapest ingredients.
Having said that, what's the problem? [Apart from a little mis-labelling.]
No one has died or been taken ill. Horse meat, as you say, is perfectly edible. I strongly suspect that there's more 'unmentionables' ground into chicken dippers/nuggets/'popcorn' & turkey twizzlers than into "beef" burgers.
The biggest surprise to me was the fact that one brand of burger was found to contain 39% horsemeat. I didn't realise they had 39% of meat from any animal(s) in them ;-)

Quite right Rosie! As I said myself today over on mine, it's the packaging that seems to be upsetting people rather than the 'food' itself.
Nothing wrong with horse. Rather eat a horse steak than a Big Mac. God knows what goes into that!
- 18 January 2013 at 12:52
- Lord Monty said...
I don't think it's the fact that it's horse meat that's the problem SR.
It's more the fact that it wouldn't have been tested for hygiene safety so could have died due to disease or cancers etc. Or was full of drugs. I think diseased horses have to be burnt or buried after a vet has done his best but some have obviously been transferred into the food chain instead.
I used to enjoy a horse steak with fries in Cyprus. Tasty.

Do lots of Tesco's customers read the packaging Dioclese?
I try to but find the font size is unreadable.

Mmm Monty, I don't have a lot of faith in the food safety business. Have you watched some of these programmes on TV? Some of these takeaways have had several warnings yet the places are really clorty and should have been shut down immediately the first problem was discovered.

As a proud horse owner and lover of horses I have to be the dissenting voice in this argument.
Of all the animals man has domesticated the horse is by far and away the most loyal the most affectionate and the most intelligent of creatures. The bond created between man and horse is without equal. Our oldest is approaching 30years, that represents a relationship longer lasting than many marriages, and like a marriage I can judge his mood just as easily as he can judge mine.
I would no more think of eating any of our horses than I would our dog or any of our cats.
But there are cultures where minced doggie or minced moggie is a delicacy.
(Subrosa – would you pot-roast that lovely creature of yours?)
There are equally cultures where the pig is an obscenity unfit for consumption; or cultures where the cow is a god to be worshipped and treated with reverence rather than be eaten.
Thank goodness I live in a culture where the horse is not normally eaten.
As for Tesco et al, how can 29% be regarded as "contamination"; 29% represents a major constituent. So much for quality control or contents labelling.
- 18 January 2013 at 14:33
- Apogee said...
Could be wrong but I read it that 29%
of whatever meat was contained was horse,I have grave doubt that there is much meat of any type in burgers.
This may inform somewhat. Sorry i is cut and splice.
- 18 January 2013 at 15:11
I ate horse meat in Romania and found it agreeable enough.
Of course people can be fond of their horses, and no one would suggest that one would want to eat a horse one had made a part of the family. Nor I imagine would one want to do that with any animal that one had made a pet of.
There's no reason why you wouldn't eat goldfish, after all you eat smaller fish... but not a goldfish you'd had in the living room for a couple of years, and called Goldie (after Annabel).
I suppose that people are bothered that they have been lied to, and that's fair enough. But as someone on the News Quiz said tonight, when he was a student, and buying 20 Tesco burgers for a pound, he would have been delighted if there had been horse meat in them... any kind of meat would have been nice.

Hi S/R,
I clicked your link to the Highland Game website and had to laugh when I read, "To achieve its aim, Highland Game set about establishing production facilities that would satisfy the stringent criteria demanded by major retailers."
What a waste of time and money that was!
I agree with JRB about man's relationship with different animals. I was very into horse racing many years ago and appreciated them as sports stars!
But what I don't understand is that with governmental interference in every part of life, it took this for them to realise that most burgers contain things they most definitely shouldn't. What are all these inspectors doing? All the boffins back in the labs?
Can we also assume that nearly every sausage is dodgy? As if we don't already suspect that, but worse than previously thought?
I had venison once, but wasn't too keen. I might give it another go. Is it guaranteed halal-free, do you know?
I wonder how those horses were slaughtered.
But actually, I'm finding it increasingly difficult buying food, trying to avoid the GMO, Halal, aspartame and MSG. And I boycott a few companies, like Nestle.
I've been boycotting Tesco's since 2005, so I'm not sorry it was them getting the bad publicity.
I think I have the bare bones of my own post on the subject there!
- 19 January 2013 at 02:43
- subrosa said...
No I wouldn't JRB because she's a pet. I can understand your feeling about horse meat but as others have mentioned there could be worse ingredients in supermarket hamburgers.
Yes we're lucky there's no need to have horse meat but I'm told a century or so ago it was eaten here. Must research that.
- 19 January 2013 at 03:53
- subrosa said...
You have a good point there Apogee. Just the other day I was looking for fish fingers for a young person coming for tea. I couldn't find any make which had more than 50% fish.
- 19 January 2013 at 03:55
- subrosa said...
Exactly Tris. Most of these things are composed of breadcrumbs or some other binder and beef flavourings. It's frightening reading some packs (if the font's big enough that is).
- 19 January 2013 at 03:56
- subrosa said...
We have supermarkets here Smalltown but as I said I use the local butcher. He can tell me the farm and the slaughter house etc.
- 19 January 2013 at 03:58
- subrosa said...
Now that is amusing CH. :)
- 19 January 2013 at 03:58
- subrosa said...
Hi Stewart. Like you I'm amazed with the behaviour of these food safety agencies. It took Ireland to find out about this.
The venison from my butcher definitely isn't halal and I doubt if HGs are either. You can buy HGs in Tesco and they're a very tasty quick meal. Other places stock them too I believe. My local farm shop does I know.
I've a Foreman Grill but if you don't stick them under the grill a couple of minutes each side. My favourite dish is a burger on toast with a salad.
Yes it's difficult but it's done me a favour I suppose insofar as I've given lots more thought to my diet in recent years and do tend to buy local these days. More expensive yes, but I just reduce the amount purchased.
- 19 January 2013 at 04:03
- Stewart Cowan said...
No, I don't have a Foreman. If I have a steak (rarely - as in only occasionally) I fry it off then throw it in the oven (I hate the sight of blood!). Got to get at it before it gets burnt, though.
I buy Morrison's meat as it is supposedly non-halal, except for the frozen lamb which is from NZ. I wrote to one of the haggis companies last year before Burn's night enquiring about whether they use halal ingredients, but never received a reply.
No reply = no buy!
I wish I was into gardening. No point retiring (if I ever get the chance).
- 19 January 2013 at 04:23
- subrosa said...
Well Stewart, either stick them under the grill or fry them.
Don't eat steak here much either but I saw a big one in the freezer yesterday so that's for the grill tonight. Need some comfort food in this weather. :)
I'm busier in 'retirement' than I ever was in 'work'. :)
- 19 January 2013 at 14:15
- Stewart Cowan said...
I can imagine, S/R. The number of things I should be doing is enormous.
- 19 January 2013 at 20:16
- subrosa said...
Retirement shouldn't mean you can't earn something Stewart. It should mean you've done the bit for others and now it's your turn to do your own bit. :)

Tesco have some rum ideas about their food. Last year I was buying an awful lot of sardines, tuna and pilchards as part of the Dukan diet so, after apparently analysing my purchases (I have a loyalty card), they sent me a coupon for .... cat food! How could they possibly imagine I would waste good fish on pesky mograts!

Hi Brian, a pal of mine insists dog food is healthier than some of Tesco's meals.
It shows how they track our shopping habits though doesn't it.

Atopic dermatitis is a long-term (chronic) skin disorder that involves scaly and itchy rashes.
Other forms of eczema include:
Contact dermatitis Dyshidrotic eczema Nummular eczema Seborrheic dermatitis
Alternative Names
Infantile eczema; Dermatitis – atopic; Eczema
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Atopic dermatitis is due to a skin
Atopic dermatitis is most common in infants. It may start as early as age 2 to 6 months. Many people outgrow it by early adulthood.
People with atopic dermatitis often have
The following can make atopic dermatitis symptoms worse:
- Allergies to pollen, mold, dust mites, or animals
- Cold and dry air in the winter
- Colds or the flu
- Contact with irritants and chemicals
- Contact with rough materials, such as wool
Dry skin
Emotional stress
Drying out of the skin from taking too many baths or showers and swimming too often
Getting too hot or too cold, as well as sudden changes of temperature
Perfumes or dyes added to skin lotions or soaps
Skin changes may include:
Blisterswith oozing and crusting
- Dry skin all over the body or areas of bumpy skin on the back of the arms and front of the thighs
Ear discharge or bleeding
- Raw areas of the skin from scratching
- Skin coloring changes, such as more or less color than the normal skin tone
Skin redness or inflammationaround the blisters
- Thickened or leather-like areas (called lichenification), which can occur after long-term irritation and scratching
The type and location of the rash can depend on the age of the patient:
- In children younger than age 2,
skin lesionsbegin on the face, scalp, hands, and feet. The rash is often itchy and bubble, ooze, or form crusts.
- In older children and adults, the rash is more often seen on the inside of the knees and elbow. It can also appear on the neck, hands, and feet.
- Rashes may occur anywhere on the body during a bad outbreak.
Intense itching is common. Itching may start even before the rash appears. Atopic dermatitis is often called the "itch that rashes" because the itching starts, and then the skin rash follows as a result of scratching.
Signs and tests
The health care provider will give you an exam and look at your skin. A physical exam will be done. You may need a
Diagnosis is based on the:
- How the skin looks
- Personal and family history
- Hard-to-treat atopic dermatitis
- Other allergy symptoms
- Skin rashes that form only on certain areas of the body after exposure to a specific chemical
Daily skin care make cut down on the need for medicines.
Avoid scratching the rash or skin:
- Use a moisturizer, topical steroid cream, or other medicine your doctor prescribes.
- Take antihistamine medicines by mouth to reduce severe itching.
- Keep fingernails cut short. Wear light gloves during sleep if nighttime scratching is a problem.
Keep the skin moist (called lubricating or moisturizing the skin). Use ointments (such as petroleum jelly), creams, or lotions 2 – 3 times a day. Choose skin products that are free of alcohol, scents, dyes, and other chemicals. A humidifier to keep home air moist will also help.
Avoid things that make your symptoms worse, such as:
- Foods that may cause an allergic reaction such as eggs in a very young child (always talk to your doctor first)
- Irritants such as wool and lanolin
- Strong soaps or detergents, as well as chemicals and solvents
- Sudden changes in body temperature and stress, which may cause sweating
- Triggers that cause allergy symptoms
When washing or bathing:
- Expose your skin to water for as short a time as possible. Short, cooler baths are better then long, hot baths.
- Use gentle body washes and cleansers instead of regular soaps.
- Do not scrub or dry the skin too hard or for too long.
- Apply lubricating creams, lotions, or ointment to the skin after bathing while it is damp. This will help trap moisture in the skin.
At this time, allergy shots are not used to treat atopic dermatitis.
Antihistamines taken by mouth may help with itching or allergies. You can often buy these medicines without a prescription.
Most causes of atopic dermatitis are treated with medicines placed directly on the skin or scalp (called topical medicines):
- You will probably be prescribed a mild cortisone (or steroid) cream or ointment at first. You may need a stronger medicine if this doesn't work.
- Medicines called topical immunomodulators (TIMs) may be prescribed for anyone over 2 years old. TIMs include tacrolimus (protopic) and pimecrolimus (Elidel). Ask your doctor about concerns over a possible cancer risk with the use of these medicines.
- Creams or ointments that contain coal tar or anthralin may be used for thickened areas.
- Barrier repair creams containing ceramides may be used.
Wet-wrap treatment with topical corticosteroids may help control the condition but may lead to an infection.
Other treatments that may be used include:
- Antibiotic creams or pills if the skin is infected
- Drugs that suppress the immune system, such as cyclosporine, methotrexate, or mycophenolate mofetil
- Phototherapy, a medical treatment in which your skin is carefully exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light
- Short-term use of systemic steroids
Expectations (prognosis)
Atopic dermatitis is a long-term condition. You can control it with treatment, by avoiding irrit
ants, and by keeping the skin well-moisturized.
In children, the condition often starts to go away around age 5 – 6, but flare-ups will often occur. In adults, the problem is generally a long-term or returning condition.
Atopic dermatitis may be harder to control if it:
- Begins at an early age
- Involves a large amount of the body
- Occurs along with allergic rhinitis and asthma
- Occurs in someone with a family history of eczema
- Infections of the skin caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses
- Permanent scars
- Side effects from long-term use of medicines to control eczema
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if:
Atopic dermatitis does not get better with home care
Symptoms get worse or treatment does not work
You have signs of infection (such as fever, redness, or pain)
Children who are breast-fed until age 4 months are less likely to get atopic dermatitis.
If a child is not breast-fed, using a formula that contains processed cow milk protein (called partially hydrolyzed formula) may cut down on the chances of developing atopic dermatitis.

Valencia peanut growers in Texas and New Mexico may be scrambling for a new buyer after officials at Sunland peanut butter plant in Portales, New Mexico, announced they have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy over troubling financial and liquidity challenges.
If approved by a U.S. bankruptcy court, the plant, located in Portales in eastern New Mexico, must permanently close and liquidate all assets according to terms of Chapter 7 rules of the U.S. Bankruptcy code.
Company officials cite ongoing financial difficulties as the primary reason for the filing. The company was required by the Federal Drug administration (FDA) last year to shutter the plant after peanut butter processed at the plant were linked to a nationwide salmonella outbreak involving 41 cases in 20 states.
FDA inspectors cited the company after a month-long investigation, saying salmonella had been discovered in 28 locations throughout the plant and in several nut butter samples. Sunland, Inc. is the nation's largest producer of organic peanut butter. They produced organic peanut butter under different labels for a number of retailers nationwide including Costco, Kroger Foods and Trader Joe's, as well as producing organic peanut butter under their own label.

In late December, Sunland announced that the food facility registration for its Portales, New Mexico, location had been reinstated. That followed an agreement reached between federal inspectors and plant officials that called for an independent, third party inspection of the facility to determine if the problems discovered from previous inspections had been corrected.
In January, Sunland put most of the employees laid off following the recall last year back to work and soon thereafter began making payment arrangements with New Mexico and Texas peanut growers who were owed money for peanuts sold to the company but not yet processed when FDA shuttered the plant.
Officials say the eight-month closure that began last year was more than the company could financially overcome and the decision to file for Bankruptcy came as a last resort.
Closing may create problems for peanut growers
Texas grower Brent Nelson said earlier this year the company had been good to growers by making partial payments initially following the shut down last year and that company representatives announced plans for follow up payments. Nelson said the closing of the plant last year caught all parties by surprise and created many hardships not only for the plant but for growers as well.
"Our peanut harvest last year was one of the best we have had in recent times. This was true for many growers across the region. We depended on the Portales plant and don't have a lot of options for selling our crop outside of Sunland," he told Farm Press earlier this year.
Sunland limited peanut purchases to high-grade Valencia varieties because of their natural sweetness and long maintained a working relationship with regional growers, some of whom were quick to defend the company after FDA inspections last year.
Some growers expressed concern that the FDA's punitive action that closed the plant last year may have been tied to the government's intent to send a message to other food processors.
"I think maybe the FDA wanted to set an example because of the string of salmonella outbreaks last year and the year before, so Sunland may have been the one the inspectors finally targeted to make that message clear," Nelson said.
Now that the plant faces permanent closure, peanut growers in the region will need to scramble to find another buyer, a development that may further hurt growers who were adversely affected by Sunland's closure last year.
The plant was one of the largest employers in Roosevelt County. As a result, the Portales City Council authorized $150,000 in economic development funds for Sunland last year to help cover some of the costs incurred as a result of its sanitation plan, according to Portales City Manager Tom Howell.
"The purpose of that money was to help them get through requirements of the FDA," Howell said after the funds were awarded to the company last year.
Howell and company officials were not available for comment on this latest development.

Lilly Finance Execs Impress Students• October 25, 2013 Share:
Students interested in the business world and finance had a series of remarkable opportunities during fall break to meet one-on-one with significant business leaders. One of the best experiences was a Friday morning visit with Eli Lilly finance executives – all Wabash graduates!
Three of the students wrote about the significant impact of this unique and personal visit. Here are there slightly-edited accounts.
Will Folsom '15 - One of my favorite excursions on the Financial Immersion Program was the privilege to meet Brian Edelman, VP of Corporate Finance and Investment Banking, Dave Lewis, VP of Global Taxes/Assistant Treasurer, Chad Hobson, Director of Corporate Finance and Investment Banking, and Terry Lyons, CFO and COO of Lilly USA, all four of whom are Wabash graduates.
We were extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to speak with these executives, something I think is testament to their devotion to our school. What was fascinating about finance at Lilly is that, despite the gargantuan number of departments, employees, and resources that are devoted to the broad term "finance," there is a great amount of collaboration and overlap between these guys at their high level of leadership. They seemed to know each other well and shared a great pride in being Wabash men. They were quick with jokes and quick to point out how many great Wabash alumni worked for Lilly, particularly in finance. "Are there any Dannies who work in finance?" one of them quipped.
All four were well spoken and I could tell that they not only possessed a wealth of knowledge, but a wealth of passion for Lilly's mission. Dave Lewis said that, although it might not seem like crunching numbers is a big part of making medicines, every dollar that his department saves in taxes can be a dollar that goes to developing new drugs and saving people's lives. On top of this, Dave told me how he got to study under the legendary economics professor Dr. Benjamin Rogge, a fellow Nebraskan, when he was at Wabash.
I also thoroughly enjoyed Brian Edelman. I saw a lot of parallels between what I did at my internship this past summer at Invest Nebraska Corporation, a non-profit venture development organization, and the valuation and due diligence that his department does in mergers and acquisitions at Lilly. It was a pleasure to hear Brian speak because he had a certain humorous, professorial air about him that made you want to listen. These alumni from Lilly echoed a message that I heard multiple times over the course of the program: it's not just the numbers – it's how you present them. The liberal arts served these Little Giants well.
Derrick Li '14 - Each gave a brief history about their time at Wabash as well as their career progression and current responsibilities at Lilly. Their stories gave us hope because of how similar it sounded to our own lives. They too were lost when they were our age. They too were confused about the possibilities and careers out there in the "real world." Yet, through struggle and hard work, they became the successes they are today.
From talking with these successful Wallies, all of us were inspired to work harder and to not take our Wabash education for granted. Overall, the visit allowed all of us to experience the wide breadth of financial career possibilities. We are all thankful to David, Brian, Terry, and Chad for taking time out of their busy day to speak with us."
Hongli Yang '15 – All of the Lilly executives shared their insights on finance and offered us suggestions on a successful career in finance.
Dave talked about his job as the Chief Tax Executive and how Wabash has changed his life. He emphasized the importance of learning agility, and encouraged us to take action and create experience that shapes our life.
Chad also encouraged us to grab different opportunities and become well rounded. Also, great communication skills would help us succeed in our career. Terry advised us to take leadership opportunities at Wabash and improve our critical thinking and problem solving skills. In addition, we should learn to ask great questions and train our analytical and quantitative skills.
Brian gave us a detailed presentation of corporate M&A strategy, and he encouraged us to have an open mind and be flexible at work. These great men truly exemplified Wabash's mission statement: they think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely.

Hello everyone! Had a beautiful waterbirth on hands and knees of a 9 pound 2 ounce baby. Didn't need any stitches or any medications at all. Women have such power within them during birth.
Thought I'd share some of the benefits of homebirth.
1. You and Your Baby are NEVER separated
2. Families can be present and very involved
3. 77% Less chance of a c-section than at the hospital
4. Birth without Drugs: Better for You and Your Baby
5. Avoidance of germs found in hospitals
6. It's your home, where you feel comfortable and safe
7. Your birth wishes are respected
8. You can have a Waterbirth
9. Personalized one-on-one care with your midwife
10. Less chance of unnecessary and possibly harmful procedures
11. Breastfeeding support
12. Insurances accepted including Medicaid. Cash price lower than a hospital birth

Am I the only one who thinks this should become a standard in RPGs? Really the more I play games with branching stories the more I fall in love with them. I started off playing Bioware's games like Knights of the Old Republic, but there are so many other games that do them so much better. The Shin Megami Tensei games for one, are BRILLIANT. There is no good or evil, you choose a side and the side you choose is the 'right' side. If you side with the demons, then the demons were the ones who were right, if you side with God then God is the one who is right. If you take another option then that was the right way (minus Yuzu's ending, in Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor, where you ruin everything for everyone).
The best example of this though is Ogre Tactics Let Us Cling Together. It is THE best branching story game I have ever played, if you have a PSP it is really A MUST PLAY, I would even suggest getting a PSP to play this game with them being much cheaper now. (Of course pick up more games like Persona, Persona 3, and other great games for it). Even just go watch a let's play of it, it is a game that should never be forgotten, truely the best Tactical RPG ever (like Final Fantasy Tactics, and those types of games).
I also love making your own character, picking gender, appearance, class or how they play. And of course naming them. A lot of old rpgs but the big newer ones slowly seem to be weeding that out. Really I like having a character I can think of as 'me' it gets me so much more into a game's story. Really even just naming the character is enough, dictate the story to me, have my path charted, but let the hero be 'me'.
These are just two things that make me fall in love with games, what does everyone else think? I would love to hear what others think of things like this, and list off examples of games that really hit that sweet spot for them!

That is a really interesting idea. It would be cool if they were to put it into practice. Although I think that would work better for a Sims like game, or a game like Spore. Where that is the point, or the world is supposed to be more open ended.
For a game like SMT I'm not sure how well that would work, other than in combat. Those games are heavily story driven.
For a game where you're trying to make an open, living world, to play in it sounds simply brilliant.
One of the problems is the majority of console gamers (and that is who games are made for now) don't want long game play, they want to get into the action as soon as possible and stay there.
Even the games made in the so-called RPG category today are basically FPS with RP elements, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, though fairly open-ended, with the level cap, it causes me to stop playing before I complete it, but there is no more growth and I am just playing a FPS.
Yeah I can agree with that on some level. While those games are fun they clearly try to draw in other people by giving it strong FPS elements. Then again I play those games to explore and see what I can dig up. When the game pointed me in a certain direction I gave it the finger and wandered off. Of course in Fallout 3 it let me skip a majority of the plot, in New Vegas... That got me killed, but that game kind of pissed me off. While I enjoyed the game overall, it felt like the open world wasn't really open. In the middle of the map I was running into invisible walls, and if I tired to wander off the beaten path a swarm of those weird wasp monsters would murder me in a matter of seconds.
Still the games I tend to enjoy the most, which I mention above, are very good RPGs not heavily borrowing from any other kind of game.
Also the idea of a branching story, or defining your main character, aren't restricted to RPGs. RPGs just seem to be the only type of game that uses these 'plot devices' or whatever you'd like to call them.
Well I do like having a variety of games to choose from--long gameplay like Dragon Age: Origins or Bioshock has a story to tell--with video game elements--basically an interactive novel.
For less story, more shooty, there's L4D2---Which I really enjoy for the group interaction and short 'missions' where it's more about cooperation and working/making it together than being the best of your group.
Videogames--specifically RPG's, have had the bar raised for them in the past 5 years or so. Now it's not enough for there to be a story, and for you to sort of be an unwitting participant in it, but there's also backstory and side missions and character development--which I do like. It basically makes the Choose your own adventure books in virtual form.
I've actually met a lot of ladies who love Mass Effect 1 and 2 because you can play as lady Captain and choose butch or pretty, cruel or kind--even black or white. The ability to play as your own race, gender, etc, in a game is highly underrated--My lady gamer friends refused to even touch Brink because of that lack of choice in a game.
I also discussed the fact that all video games tailor to the white, male, hetero pov--it's odd to play a non-white, non-male, non-het character in the game--because, well, no story in hollywood would be treated the way the story unfolds in the game. It's quite liberating, actually, to have a story about a butch woman that's not about her being a woman.
Yeah, I can agree with that. Although I think some people are more aware of their part in the story. The choose your own adventure your own adventure thing is kind of funny. In Ogre Tactics: Let Us Cling Together, there is a 'Warren Report' which shows you the path you're taking, and after you beat the game you can go back to a great number of certain points, and 'flip back the pages' and go off in another direction in the story.
Yes I can agree with that, choosing just my character's appearance gets me and I'm sure other people deeper into a story and caring more about what is going on. As for the cruel or kind thing. It kind of depends on the story, there are some stories where that works, but at the same time a lot of stories have room for the moral grey which that bar usually doesn't seem to fill too well.
As for the last part, yeah nothing I would say against you. Let's people see a story from a less generic point of view.
My main complaint in Skyrim, is I don't care for most of the factions. Rebels & Empire are both really unappealing to my characters. Mostly because my first was a Dark Elf, so he hated both sides. The Empire for basically enslaving them a few hundred years ago, also they are pretty much in the decline, falling apart. Then the Rebels because they are all bloody bigots, EXCEPT TO YOU, cause you're dragonborn and all that. Even then, they'd probably be doomed to lose to the Dominion if they gained their independence. Still a great game, I fear they might be getting too simple, but still cool.
Heavy Rain was pretty awesome, my only problem is the killer doesn't change from story to story. As far as I know, that is. So after you beat the game once, the mystery is basically gone.
In a way it does. Being sneaky and not killing anyone, in a way, defines your character. If you try to be diplomatic instead of go in and murder everyone, it defines your character. Not in the most clear way, obviously, but it does.

Roasted pork fillet, Malaysian style
Malaysian BBQ Pork
(Ahjus röstitud malaisiapärane seafilee)
Adapted from pure points 2 cookbook
Serves 4
~ 500 gram of pork fillet, trimmed of all fat
For the marinade:
1 Tbsp honey
150 ml dark soy sauce (I used Kikkoman)
50 ml medium-dry sherry
150 ml stock (I used Marigold Swiss vegetable stock powder)
1 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 cm piece of fresh ginger, finely sliced
1 shallot onion, finely chopped
1 lemongrass (outer layers removed), finely chopped
For the garnish:
chopped spring onion (optional)
Mix all the marinade ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Let cool.
Put the pork fillet in a shallow dish, cover with marinade and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Turn the meat every now and then to ensure even flavouring.
Take the pork fillet out of the marinade, reserving the marinade.
Place the meat on a rack over a roasting tin, and pour about 1 cm boiling water into the tin to keep the moisture.
(Note the inventive use of Christmas cookie cutters in the absence of roasting rack in my kitchen).
Put the roasting tin into the oven, and roast in the middle of a 200°C oven for about 30-40 minutes, basting with marinade half way through.
Meanwhile, strain the marinade into a small saucepan, bring the liquid to the boil and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the marinade has reduced by about 1/3.
Serve the sliced pork (either hot or cold) on a bed of slightly steamed bok choy, spinach or sprouting broccoli. Drizzle some reduced marinade on top.

Kuna ma hommikust veel pole söönud, siis kisub väga juba lõunasöögi poole igatahes tühi kõht läks veel tühjemaks.
Kindlasti proovin järgi teha, kõlab ja näeb välja üliahvatlev..

Valentina - I grew up eating pork, but eat less and less meat nowadays. The supermarket stuff can be so disappointing, so I've just stopped buying meat from there. However, now that I've 'befriended' couple of butchers at the local farmers' market, I can get hold of some delicious and good quality pieces of meat, so I'm eating meat at least occasionally.. And this pork dish had plenty of character, so I loved it.
Thredahlia - hommikusöögiks vist ei sobiks see, aga tea midagi:) Anna teada, kuidas välja tuli..

Kui mul millegi isu tuleb, siis i loe ka see, kui kell on 3 öösel :D - peab lihtsalt saama.
Annan teada, kui menüüsse jõuab :).

That looks delicious. Simple but seriously tasty . . .
And I think the Christmas cookie cutters look just lovely.
It's always interesting buying pork that comes from a named breed rather than just supermarket 'pork' which I tend to findtasteless and often pumped full of water. You can't raise decent crackling on something that's been polythene wrapped for more than a week.
I call for afternoon farmer's markets, for all us food loving morning rejecting types - and that may be what we are going to get . . . praise be.

Thredahlia - vist jah:) Jään siis tagasisidet ootama!
Amyjames - thank you for your kind words. If you're at the Edinburgh Farmers' Market, then I really recommend Puddledub for pork (I've tried some of the other stalls, but Puddledub comes out as a clear favourite) and Well Hung & Tender for their beef:) Afternoon farmers market would be great indeed - I've missed far too many just because I was bedbound;-)

Väga maitsev nädalavahetuse õhtusöök oli ja hea vaheldus harilikule hautatud sealihale või õllega küpsetamisele, mis mul traditsiooniks juba on saanud.

What 1,000 Push Ups Taught Me
I absolutely loved the 1,000 push up challenge and my office staff did as well. We encouraged each other and pushed through even on days we didn't feel like it. It taught us all that we are stronger than we realized and that small short term goals can be just the boost you need to your confidence to create even bigger and better goals and dreams.
No one ever said, "Get out there and DREAM SMALL."
Dream big. That's it.
Are you setting goals that scare you? If not, then I guarantee you your goals are NOT big enough. Your goals should make you a little bit uncomfortable or else you are simply setting goals that keep you in your comfort zone. Those kinds of goals don't make you 'grow'. If the goal scares you a bit, that means it will require you to do something new and stretch yourself. (Hence the uncomfortable feeling.) And, that's what you want!
A scary goal will force new behaviors. That will in turn force personal growth.
Personal growth is the elixir of life! Crave it. Don't run from it. Learn to recognize the discomfort as growth. Then you will learn that not all pain is negative. Some of it is necessary and useful.
One of my favorite things each year is setting my goals for the next year. My husband and I always sit down together and do this. We actually keep a folder in our file cabinet with all our past years' goals in it. We pull them all out each year and review them as well. (We review the current year's goals several times in the current year as well.)
Reviewing year's past goals is so much fun because you can see real growth. Sometimes when you see goals made three years ago they now seem really small to you. It shows you how far you've come and how awesome you are now! There have always been a few goals that seem to fall to the side each year and if so, I ask myself: are they still important to me now? If they are, then I add them onto this new year! If they're not so important to me anymore then it's ok for me to leave it in the past!
We use two brackets to keep it easy: personal and business goals. Inside those two brackets you can break them down more if you wish. Keep it simple or you won't enjoy doing this.
Write them down, make two copies. Put one in your planner or on your bedside table so you see it daily and one in your file cabinet for permanent keeping. Review them often and then of course at the beginning of each new year.
When we put goals down it's the most exciting thing because we are usually pretty good at reaching them if they're important enough to write down. Be committed to yourself and decide that you're really serious about your goals when you write them. Keep pictures on your phone or screensaver that remind you and change them often so you don't get 'used' to them. Keep it fresh and always on your mind. Feel the excitement of achieving the end result. Do something every month, week and day that brings you closer to that goal.
And remember, DREAM BIG.
