The official version of the US-led campaign in Afghanistan received a blow today with a leaked report that the British Ambassador in Kabul believes that US strategy is wrong and the war is as good as lost.
The potentially explosive views were published by Le Canard Enchaîné, a respected French weekly, which said that they were direct quotations from a diplomatic cable written by François Fitou, the French Deputy Ambassador in Kabul.
Mr Fitou reported to President Sarkozy's office and his own Foreign Ministry that Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles, the British Ambassador, believed that "American strategy is destined to fail" in Afghanistan, according to the newspaper.
It published a reproduction of what it said was the coded cable, in which the French diplomat summarised the ambassador's main points from a September 2 meeting.
"The current situation is bad. The security situation is getting worse. So is corruption and the Government has lost all trust. Our public statements should not delude us over the fact that the insurrection, while incapable of winning a military victory, nevertheless has the capacity to make life increasingly difficult, including in the capital.
"The presence - especially the military presence - of the coalition is part of the problem, not the solution. The foreign forces are ensuring the survival of a regime which would collapse without them. In doing so, they are slowing down and complicating an eventual exit from the crisis (which, moreover, will probably be dramatic)."
The French diplomat sent the cable to brief President Sarkozy and Bernard Kouchner, the Foreign Minister, ahead of meetings with Britain and other Nato allies over the Afghan deployment. The French deployment of some 3,000 troops there has become intensely unpopular since 10 soldiers were killed in an ambush near Kabul in August.
The allies have been thrown on the defensive over the past 18 months by the resurgence of the Taleban rebel forces, who have moved close to Kabul, where the Government of President Karzai is struggling to establish its authority.
Sir Sherard, 53, was also quoted as saying that while Britain had no alternative to supporting the United States, the Americans should be told to change strategy.
Reinforcing the military presence against the Taleban insurrection would be counter-productive, he said, according to Le Canard. "It would identify us even more clearly as an occupying force and it would multiply the number of targets (for the insurgents)," he was quoted as saying.
The allied governments should start preparing public opinion to accept that the only realistic solution for Afghanistan was to be ruled by "an acceptable dictator".
"In the short term we should dissuade the American presidential candidates from getting more bogged down in Afghanistan," the ambassador was quoted as saying.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office would not comment directly on the leaked French diplomatic report, but a spokesman said that the remarks did "not accurately reflect" the views of the ambassador or his deputy.
"We are committed to working in support of the Government of Afghanistan in order to deliver solutions to the challenges facing the country through civilian and military efforts," said a spokesman.
He said that Britain would continue to work closely with Kabul and that success in Afghanistan was a "long term" goal.
Although it is understood that the meeting between Sir Sherard and the French envoy to Kabul did take place, the version of events contained in the diplomatic cable is regarded in Whitehall as a "parody" of what was said.
The British side is particularly dismayed that they reportedly support a dictatorship in Afghanistan. Insiders insist these words were never uttered. There is a suspicion that the British position was deliberately "exaggerated" to produce a version that Paris wanted to hear.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Colorado picked up their second consecutive victory as Pablo Mastroeni's 73rd minute drive handed the Rapids a 2-1 victory over New England at Gillette Stadium. The Rapids are now 3-1-1, 10 points on the season, the most after five games in team history.

Mehdi Ballouchy staked Colorado to a lead after 14 minutes with a one-hopper to the far post from the edge of the penalty area. Click here to watch Ballouchy's goal.
New England equalized five minutes later after Marko Perovic curled a free kick over the Rapids wall. Jeff Larentowicz and Ballouchy hit the woodwork later in the first half before Mastroeni decided the match in the second stanza by lashing home a one-timer to give Colorado its second road win of the season.
New England boss Steve Nicol made one change to the side that lost 2-0 in San Jose last Saturday. Kheli Dube earned a recall up front as Perovic slid into a left midfield berth and Chris Tierney dropped to the bench. Nicol also omitted Shalrie Joseph (right hip flexor strain) for the fourth time in five matches.
Former Revolution midfielder Wells Thompson earned his first league start for the Rapids as Gary Smith made two changes in response to last Sunday's 3-1 win over Toronto FC. Thompson replaced Colin Clark on the left wing, while Ballouchy replaced the injured Jamie Smith (right hamstring strain) on the right flank. Julien Baudet settled for a spot on the bench after returning from a one-match ban.
Colorado enjoyed the better of the early exchanges, but New England carved out the first chance after 13 minutes. Seth Sinovic curled a cross to the far post, but Dube managed to pop up his volley attempt from close range to permit Rapids goalkeeper Matt Pickens to collect easily.
The miss came back to haunt the Revolution moments later as Ballouchy opened the scoring. New England afforded Ballouchy too much time and space on the edge of the penalty area and the Moroccan responded by firing a one-hopper just inside the far post for his first goal of the season.
New England responded five minutes later in stunning fashion as Perovic notched his first MLS goal. Pablo Mastroeni gave away a foul on Sainey Nyassi on the left edge of the penalty area. Perovic stepped up and curled his 20-yard effort over the Rapids wall and past Perkins to draw the Revs level.
Colorado continued to enjoy the better of the play, and Omar Cummings' cultured chip from the edge of the penalty area played Ballouchy just wide of the far post. Ballouchy opted to loop a bicycle kick to the far post, but his effort bounced off the inside of the post and deflected off New England goalkeeper Preston Burpo. Casey reacted first, but managed to stuff his rebound attempt off the recovering Burpo before the Revs finally hacked clear.
As the Revolution pressed higher, Colorado enjoyed more room on the counter and the Rapids reaped the rewards with the match-winner in the 73rd minute. Cummings wriggled free down the left wing and flighted a cross into strike partner Casey. The burly forward held the ball up well and dropped a pass back for Mastroeni to lash home first-time from distance to restore the Rapids' lead.
New England threw on Kenny Mansally minutes later and switched to a 3-5-2 formation in search of the equalizer, but it never arrived as the Revolution fell to a second consecutive defeat.
COLORADO RAPIDS: Matt Pickens, Kosuke Kimura (Julien Baudet 78), Marvell Wynne, Drew Moor, Danny Earls (Scott Palguta 88'), Pablo Mastroeni, Jeff Larentowicz, Mehdi Ballouchy, Wells Thompson (Colin Clark 74'), Omar Cummings, Conor Casey

In Europe, buyers will see three variants of the Alfa Romeo 4C: an Alfa, an Alpine from Renault, and a Caterham. While the three will share a chassis, each will have its own distinctive engine and transmission combo along with exterior styling and interior amenities.
While we can agonize over the differentiating details, let's instead look at what the new breed of mid-engine, two-seater sports cars could mean for the global car market. If this trio turns out to be successful as we automotive enthusiasts hope they will be, the three could usher in a new class of sports car.
Although the exterior design and name of the Alpine has yet to be decided, it's compact supercar design has already been cemented. Aimed at driving enthusiasts, the joint-venture sports coupe will hopefully attract the wealthy and young motoring enthusiasts alike.
For those keen to know the specifics: the Alpine will most likely feature a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, much like the Alfa 4C, but unlike the Alfa, which will only receive a dual-clutch transmission, the Alpine might instead receive a conventional manual, according to an Autocar report.
While Alfa and Renault will building their own engines, the Caterham version is reportedly to be powered by a Toyota-sourced four-cylinder.
While it's unlikely Americans will see the Caterham and dead certain the Renault will never cross the pond, it's exciting to know a new breed of sports car is being developed. We'd long feared that rear-wheel drive, stripped-down sports cars were going the way of the dodo. We're glad to see there still might be a chance for redemption yet.

(Reuters) - Delaware on Thursday became the latest U.S. state to take action to extend marriage rights to gay and lesbian couples, as Governor Jack Markell announced a bill to legalize same-sex marriage.
Markell, a Democrat, said in a telephone interview that while he was confident the bill would pass, given that his party controls both the upper and lower chambers of the legislature, "nothing is sure until it's done."
"What we know is same-sex couples want to get married for the same reason that other couples want to get married," Markell said in a telephone interview.
Markell announced the legislation at an afternoon press conference, where he was joined by state Senate President Pro Tempore Patricia Blevins, House Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf and Attorney General Beau Biden, Markell's office said.
Three other states are considering bills on same-sex marriage, while nine states and the District of Columbia have already legalized gay marriage.
In 2011, Markell signed into law a bill authorizing civil unions for same-sex couples.
Republican state Senator Brian Pettyjohn said he believed Delaware's civil union law, which was approved before he took office, went gone far enough and has been a fair compromise, ensuring that gay and straight couples are treated equally while reserving marriage for heterosexual couples.
"Civil unions, OK, that's law. But when you want to redefine marriage, that's crossing the line," Pettyjohn said in a telephone interview. "There is no further benefit that same-sex marriage would give to couples than what they have with civil unions."
Some 30 states have passed constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage, while nine states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage: Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and Washington.
Same-sex marriage bills are also under consideration in Minnesota, Rhode Island and Illinois.
The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a legal challenge to a 1996 law that restricts federal recognition of marriage to heterosexual couples.

Jimmy Wales Campaigns To Stop The Despicable Attempt To Extradite & Try Richard O 'Dwyer
from the speak-up dept
Wales recently met with O'Dwyer and learned the details of the story, and was quite reasonably horrified:
Wales has set up an online petition addressed to the UK government seeking to stop the extradition of O'Dwyer. Who knows if it will actually have any impact, but getting more people to speak out about this ridiculous overreach by ICE and the Justice Department would be a good thing.
Given the thin case against him, it is an outrage that he is being extradited to the US to face felony charges. No US citizen has ever been brought to the UK for alleged criminal activity on US soil. There is a disparity here that ought to raise concerns at the highest levels of government in both the US and UK.
From the beginning of the internet, we have seen a struggle between the interests of the "content industry" and the general public. Due to heavy lobbying and much money lavished on politicians, until very recently the content industry has won every battle. Internet users handed the industry its first major defeat earlier this year with the epic Sopa-Pipa protests over planned copyright laws that culminated in a widespread internet blackout and 10 million people contacting the US Congress to voice their opposition.
O'Dwyer is the human face of that battle, and if he's extradited and convicted, he will bear the human cost.

Attorney General Lockyer Files Medi-Cal Fraud Charges for Major Multi-State Scheme to Steal Health Care Funds
Fraud Ring Operated in California and New Jersey
(LOS ANGELES) - Attorney General Bill Lockyer filed today felony criminal charges against 29 defendants in a massive health care fraud scheme that allegedly bilked California's Medi-Cal program of more than $11 million.
"The defendants are accused of illegally trafficking in blood to endanger public health and stealing over $11 million from the state's health care program designed to help more than 6.5 million poor, elderly and disabled Californians," Lockyer said. "Our two-year investigation led to shutting down this bi-coastal fraud ring and the arrest of the alleged ring leader and his henchmen."
The felony complaints were filed against 16 individuals and 13 medical laboratories and businesses operating in Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange Counties. Six individuals, including the alleged mastermind, were arrested on the East Coast in the states of New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Virginia and will be extradited to California for prosecution. Six other individuals were arrested in southern California by the Attorney General's Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse.
"Scam artists who use medical laboratories to rip off the Medi-Cal system not only steal from the poor but also endanger others by building a black market for blood," Lockyer said. "Cracking down on these organized schemes is important to ridding the lab industry of Medi-Cal fraud and stop the illegal trafficking of blood."
The 29 defendants were charged with 104 felonies, including conspiracy to cheat and to commit acts endangering the public health, grand theft, submitting false claims to Medi-Cal and Medicare, identity theft, money laundering, tax evasion, creating a false financial statement, and the illegal transmitting of money overseas without a license.
Arrested Tuesday were former physician Surinder Singh Panshi, 53, of South Orange, New Jersey, who allegedly organized the fraud scheme and who was convicted twice previously of healthcare fraud in New York. Singh and co-defendant Tahir Sherani, 37, Pakistan, are currently being held without bail in New Jersey. Co-defendant Saeed Ahmed, 34, Pakistan, is being held without bail in New York. Co-defendants Bilal Ahmed, 21, Pakistan, and Muhammad Yasin, 29, Pakistan, are being held without bail in Maryland. Co-defendant Laureano Imbert, 51, Cuba, is being held without bail in Virginia.
Also arrested Tuesday and held in Orange County jail were:
* Raymond Gutierrez, 30, of the Philippines, and Yakoob Habib, 53, of Buena Park, held without bail;
* Danny Du, 51, of the Philippines, held on $1.5 million bail;
* John Lim, 44, of the Philippines, held on $250,000 bail;
* Cesar Sarmiento, 31, and Virgilio Madrigal, 32, both of Anaheim, held on $100,000 bail.
Fugitive arrest warrants were issued for four additional defendants: Ron Martin, 43, Manchester, CT; Zubhair Main Younis, 45, Brooklyn, NY; Rizwan Haider, 32, Owing Mills, MD, and Danny Washington, 35, West Covina, CA.
The criminal filing alleges that between 1997 and 2000, the defendants took control of thirteen clinical laboratories entrusted with the testing of blood and urine at the request of doctors who treat Medi-Cal and Medicare patients. Within months of these acquisitions, the defendants allegedly dramatically increased Medi-Cal and Medicare billings through fraudulent claims that involved the unauthorized use of physician names and Medi-Cal provider numbers that were stolen. More than two dozen doctors were the victims of identity theft and never authorized the specimen testing that was the basis of millions of dollars of fraudulent claims.
The criminal scheme involved a combination of billing for services that were never performed and, to manufacture a facade to mask their criminal enterprise, the testing of blood obtained via black market sources from drug addicts and street people. Investigative findings also show that the labs often billed and shut down quickly, leaving blood and urine specimens behind along with hazardous chemical agents.
The arrests this week cap a more than two-year investigation by the BMFEA in California and the New Jersey Attorney General's Money Laundering Unit, which have been working closely on the case. The state attorneys general were assisted by other government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General, which investigates Medicare fraud, and the California Franchise Tax Board, which uncovered widespread tax evasion by the defendants. Also participating at various stages of the case were the FBI, INS, U.S. State Department, Attorney General's Bureau of Investigation, California Department of Health Services' Laboratory Field Services and Los Angeles County Sheriff and Health Authority Law Enforcement Task Force.
Since becoming Attorney General in January 1999, Lockyer has made the prosecution of Medi-Cal fraud a top priority. As a result, over the course of the past three years, the BMFEA has filed almost 360 criminal filings and won nearly $40 million in court-ordered restitution. As point of reference for comparison purposes, the five years previous to 1999 only yielded a total of 195 criminal filings and $11 million in restitution. Late last year, the Attorney General received a national award from the United States Department of Health and Human Services for having the top-performing health care fraud and elder abuse prosecutorial program in the country.

Canucks aim to bounce back against Kingsby Brian Compton / NHL.com
CANUCKS (2-2-1) at KINGS (1-2-1)
Season series: This is the first of three meetings between the teams. They split a four-game season series in 2011-12.
Big story: The defending Stanley Cup champs enter Monday's action seven points behind the San Jose Sharks in the Pacific Division. Furthermore, the Kings – who have one win in four tries -- have scored only eight goals.
Team scope:
Canucks: Vancouver was no match for the red-hot Sharks on Sunday night, as San Jose cruised past the Canucks by a 5-1 score at HP Pavilion. Alexandre Burrows had the lone goal for Vancouver, which allowed two goals in the first 3:26 of the contest.
"Power play wasn't as good," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said of his club's man advantage, which went 0-for-7 Sunday night. "We were unable to score. A couple of unforced errors that ended up right on their tape and in the back of the net."
Kings: After getting off to an 0-2-1 start, Los Angeles finally earned its first win of the season Saturday night with a 4-2 victory at Phoenix. Anze Kopitar scored twice for the Kings, who won for the first time since hoisting the Stanley Cup last June.
"No one in here thought we were going to go 0-48, but when you lose the first three you sure don't want to let things get away," forward Justin Williams said. "It's been seven months and things don't come back at the snap of a finger. But it was time to win a game and get a little pressure off."
Who's hot: Daniel Sedin leads the Canucks with six points (two goals, four assists) through the club's first five games. … Kings forward Kyle Clifford has a goal and four assists in four contests.
Injury report: Vancouver is still without center Ryan Kesler, who's recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, and forward David Booth (groin). … Kings defenseman Matt Greene, who underwent back surgery on Thursday, has been placed on injured reserve by the Kings and is expected to miss the remainder of the season. Fellow blueliner Willie Mitchell (knee surgery) is practicing and is close to returning.

Some hematologic (blood-based) disorders, including leukemia, myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), and certain lymphomas, are best treated by replacing your diseased blood and marrow system with that of a healthy donor. The recovery process takes longer than autologous BMT, which uses your own blood or marrow.
The allogeneic transplant process begins with the search for a suitable donor. If you need a donor, Roswell Park's Transplant Coordinator will coordinate the search.
After a donor has been identified, your bone marrow and the abnormal cells inside it are destroyed with chemotherapy and/or radiation. At the same time, for several weeks you will be given immune-suppressing drugs. This first part of the process is called a conditioning regimen. The drugs serve two purposes: to keep your body from rejecting the donor's cells, and to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which occurs when the donor's cells attack your body.
Allogeneic BMT also has a benefit called the graft-versus-cancer effect, which occurs when the donor's cells recognize and attack cancer cells in your body. This effect is strongest in blood and marrow cancers, making allogeneic BMT effective in curing patients of life-threatening hematologic (blood-based) cancers.
In the next step, called the rescue/infusion, you receive either healthy marrow or blood stem cells (also called hematopoietic cells) provided by the donor. The cells are given intravenously, in a process very similar to a blood transfusion. The cells travel through your bloodstream to your bone marrow, where they can start producing healthy blood cells.

NAMM 2010: Ableton and Serato announce The Bridge
We mentioned in a previous article that Ableton and Serato would likely be making an announcement about some exciting developements the two companies have made since their creative partnership was announced in October 2008. And they haven't disappointed.
Users of Ableton Live 8, Ableton Suite 8 or Serato Scratch Live/ITCH will now experience unprecedented integration in the world of the digital DJ.
Ableton and Serato present The Bridge—the first result of the partnership announced in October 2008.
The Bridge spans the gap between music production and DJing, creating a natural link between Ableton Live and Serato Scratch Live or ITCH. The Bridge provides a powerful fusion of DJ and production tools, opening a world of opportunities for DJing, remixing and live performance.
You can cross the Bridge in either direction:
Ableton to Serato
The Bridge provides Ableton Transport Control (ATC), giving DJs turntable-style control of their own multitrack productions. DJs can simply drag an Able
ton Live Set onto one of the decks in Scratch Live or ITCH and use their turntables, CDJ or ITCH controller to control the transport.
Serato to Ableton
The Bridge provides the ultimate mixtape creation tool. DJs can perform mixes in Serato Scratch Live or ITCH and save them as an Ableton Live Set. This way, the DJ can still perform the mix—better than cut and pasting it together in a DAW—but also has detailed editing options.
Pricing and availability for The Bridge
The Bridge is free for anyone who owns registered versions of both Serato Scratch Live/ITCH hardware and Ableton Live 8 or Suite 8. No release date has been set yet;

Episode 2 The Fairies Secret Factory
This is one of the most hilarious dark humored anime I have ever seen and I really enjoy this one a lot.
I laugh so hard everytime they have the slow motion scene when the assistant was shooting them with his flash camera, it was like a massacre ambush shooting scene from the GodFather ha ha ha. It crack me up so much .
The intelligence ingredient in the processed food is awesome and scary at the same time...lol
Damm, I am in the mood for chicken sandwich myself ha ha ha ha
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
Chicken! It's what's for dinner!
This show is so outrageous that I can't wait to see what happens next. lmfao
This show is awesome. I think the best part of the second episode was the assistant's little picture story in the beginning, plus his awesome camera shooting skillz. That kid's gonna be my favorite, I can tell already
"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none." - William Shakespeare
Love this show and especially the protagonist, if you can even call her that.
This scene was so funny, though the chicken director scene was even better, but too much to screenshot so I won't bother.

So weird, so unique, so amazing. I really like this series so far.

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
(Sorry pic's so big)
They are only similar in that they are both girls and have pink hair. Ms Sweets (she doesn't have a real name so far in Jinrui) isn't mental, or crazy in love with any boys (so far). Her eyes are green, and her hair is WAY shorter than Yuno in the start, and way longer and bigger later in the episodes.
Even their facial design and cloths are quite different. So, if you really want to stretch your imagination sure... They are SORT OF similar. Just like any girls would be sort of similar.
Similar ? Not really. You should watch the anime first .
The character design for this anime is by Kyuuta Sakai. The art in this anime is very good.
THis is my favorite anime for the summer , animation wise and content wise.
And the bleeding bread in episode 1 is just crazy. Who wants to eat him after that ... damm I need to buy wheat bread soon!!!

Crunchyroll has now finalized the regions for this series:
America (North, Central and South), UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands and Sweden.
Some people that can view it now that may have been getting the "not available in your region" message before, so be certain to try it again if you are included in the list above.
Veering off topic here, but why is that apparently everyone online types "cloths" instead of "clothes"?
This certainly isn't targeted at you, as I've seen so many people do it that I feel like a memo was issued and I didn't get it. I just felt I finally had to ask someone.
Yes, that's my real age

How to clean a cot Babies sleep patterns Babies can have wildly different sleep patterns, some sleeping all the way through the night in regular routines to the complete opposite of sleep being unpredictable and random. Being too hot or too cold Managing the temperature of your baby can be tricky, especially given that if a baby is too warm or too hot they will be in distress. You need to avoid entirely synthetic materials where ever possible. These are usually found with cheaper synthetic mattresses and especially foam cot mattresses.
At cm long, its length is somewhere in between the length of a standard cot and a standard cotbed. Simple and totally cool.
If they were a natural fibre they would be shouting about it! Natural fibre cot mattresses Natural fibres are beyond a doubt superior to their synthetic man-made equivalents. Sadly the majority of cot mattresses are nearly entirely synthetic meaning that they are slow to wick moisture, heat retentive and made of a whole set of chemicals and compounds not ideal for young delicate babies.
They are, however, incredibly cheap, surprising given the high cost of some established retailers synthetic cot mattresses! Natural wool We have already covered in detail here how to find natural fibres in a mattress and work out the GSM which can be read here.
The wool in this blend will have zero positive impact. It will still be a synthetic fibre. Shocking we know, but the majority of natural fibres are blended with polyester. What you need to look out for is the GSM listed in your cot mattress and if the natural fibre is blended. If it is blended you need to know the percentage blend and what else it is blended with. Cot mattress support The cot mattress also needs to be able to accommodate a range of sleeping weights, pressure, turning and movement.
As your baby grows the mattress needs to be able to support the increase in weight and be progressive enough i. A foam or even recycled polyester air flow pad is the slowest of all mattress materials taking the longest to return to its original shape. This means that your baby can end up resting in the same position struggling to turn and move during the night leading to discomfort or irritation.
Natural coir that is coated with a latex spray is the most responsive and progressive of all cot mattress materials. It acts as an insulating support unit for the coconut. When cleaned and carded into a pad a layer of latex sprayed over it gives it, even more, flexibility and support.
Open coil springs are the least suitable for cot mattresses as they are not progressive enough compared to coir or pocket springs. They are sluggish and when your baby moves one part of their body the entire spring unit reacts, like a massive amplifier. Pocket springs react individually and are much more suitable, they can react to micro adjustments much more easily. If you see the words, continuous coil, or miracoil on your baby cot mattress this means open coil.
The Snuzkot design somehow makes it an appealing place to sleep rather than a baby box. For the first 4 months, it seemed as though they slept all of the time, whilst simultaneously not sleeping at all. As your baby grows the mattress needs to be able to support the increase in weight and be progressive enough i.
If not babies can suffer from neck sweats, where the head indents too far into the cot mattress and starts to over heat. This causes sweats which upset and distress the baby but also can transfer into the mattress making it damp and softening it over time. This is why we would always argue against a synthetic mattress, i. The great thing about coir is that if any moisture occurs it is high wicking and resistant to salt water. Meaning it will dry quicker and not be damaged by sweat or other bodily fluids, unlike the slow to dry synthetic alternatives.
Our John Ryan By Design Cot mattress is suitable for a baby or young child up to around 16kg in weight or years of age. After that, you will need to look at a conventional mattress or equivalent. Please call us in for further help on the move between a cot mattress and regular mattress. Hypoallergenic cot mattresses New parents are right to be concerned about dust, allergies and contaminants in their babies mattresses.
Infants lungs are still developing so you want to reduce the chance of any dust, toxins or off-gassing from affecting your newborn. Natural fibres such as lambswool are naturally hypoallergenic as is coir and latex.
However, allergies and dust cannot be completely eradicated so maintenance is key to reducing this. The main issue with allergies is when cot covers and sleeping blankets are not adequately cleaned on a degree wash.
This is when dead skin, dust from the environment or other contaminants can make a home in your babies cot. Natural fibres are more breathable than their synthetic and foam based counterparts. This helps to reduce mould spores and allergens from nesting in your babies cot.
Whilst a cot mattress maybe hypoallergenic once it is out of the packaging this level allergy reduction will entirely depend on the cleaning and maintenance undertaken by parents.
We would advise you put more thought into the actual materials than whether they are labelled as hypoallergenic as even polyester can be labelled as allergen free! Cot mattress covers The cover of the cot mattress is of utmost importance as this is the one barrier between any accidents and the mattress. Most parents go for the waterproof cover as this is the most practical. These will be directly in contact with the baby so they get the benefit of natural fibres without any little accidents from ruining your new cot mattress.
Our cot mattress is supplied with two pinsonic microfibre covers and an internal water resistant hair proof cover. We supply two covers so you can replace it immediately after any accidents or spills and not have to wait to wash and dry the cover before remaking the cot for your child. We know how convenience is a priority when you have children!
What is a pinsonic mattress cover? A pinsonic quilted cover is where a material is heat-bonded together instead of being stitched.
This can be done in an unlimited array of patterns and prints and to the naked eye looks like it has been quilt stitched. This is also known as fuse-bonding and has the advantage of giving the look of a quilt but without any stitching that babies nails and fingers can get caught in because it is sonically heat bonded very quickly. How to choose a cot mattress There are three main criteria you should focus on when choosing a new cot mattress for a baby or infant.
By comparing cot mattress models against these three criteria, you should be able to sift the good from the bad. Avoiding some of the models that cause endless issues with infant and baby sleepers.

You have hit the mark. It is excellent thought. I support you.

I love bvlgari extreme. It's hard to describe the scent except to say that once I spray it on it puts me in a great mood. Perfect for anytime use. I do wish it lasted longer but I just spray a little more later in the day and all my worries just seem to disappear. Awesome cologne!
Written by Gabe on September 05, 2014
Love this fragrance. I first bought it elsewhere, paying quite a bit more for it. The packaging is excellent, the price is reasonable. While I do like to change colognes every so often, this is one of my favorites.
Written by Tim S from Dublin, CA on June 17, 2014

Forbidden Love
Alice leaves Jasper for the damphir they found to save Nessie; Sean. Jasper is heartbroken, but everyone thinks he'll get over it. Zoe is a 16-year-old cheerful brunette who's best friend is her sister, Heather. She has a secret - doesn't everyone? With the stereotypical caring mother and a patriotic Scottish father, twin younger brothers and an inability to stay with one guy for any length of time, she thinks her life is pretty damn good. And then everything changes.
So, I wasn't gonna post this until it was finished, but Uncle GW insisted, so... Here y'all are! I have about 15 chapters written, and they alternate between 2 points of view - Zoe and Jasper.
1. I ~ Another year, another town
Rating 5/5 Word Count 538 Review this Chapter
Another year, another town. I hadn't kept track of which one it was this time. Nothing meant anything since I had lost my beloved Alice. For almost a century, she had been my reason for living, the core of my existence. And now… I, along with my burly brother Emmett, had, for decades, teased my other brother Edward about being the 'odd man out'. And now, I found myself the object of Emmett's taunts. Edward, ever the gentleman, refrained from sinking that low, but I felt his pity every time I came across Alice and her new husband in one of their passionate embraces.
I almost wish we'd never gone on that foolhardy mission to find another damphir, and had just run like everyone else had assumed. But then I think of the rest of my family, my brothers and sisters, Carlisle and Esme, the loving parents a monster like me doesn't deserve, and my darling niece Renesmee, and I can't find it in myself to wish for any other path.
I have often thought of leaving, but every time the idea so much as crosses my mind, Alice will turn to me with that hurt expression on her face, golden eyes wide and pained, and I simply can't. Even if I am no longer her lover, just being close to her at least allows me to pretend…
I was heartbroken, horrified, torn apart, when she came to me just over a year ago, after the meeting with the Volturi, and told me that she couldn't hide it anymore. She and Sean were meant to be, she told me. She'd lied to me, from the moment we first met, because she was afraid. So afraid. Afraid that she'd never mind her mate. And confused. She'd seen me in her visions, and assumed- what?
That I was her soul-mate, I suppose. And for a long time, it had been true. We were an odd couple, tall and short, light and dark, evil and good… corrupted and pure… I could go on. But despite all that, we had made it work. I had adored her and I'd thought… Had assumed… that she felt the same. And perhaps she had, for a while. And then she'd started to get these blanks spots in her visions, and she realised that there was someone out there better suited to her than me.
6'1", brown hair and green eyes. Irish to the extreme. Damphir, with fey blood somewhere along the lines. Secretive and mysterious, the family knew very little about him, apart from that and the fact he adored Alice. And she him. The love poured off of them whenever they were together, and though they tried to hide it around me, I knew it was there.
I finally understood how Edward had felt in those months apart from Bella. The love everywhere, it just hurt so much. And wallowing in my misery? I doubt it was doing any good. Everyone whispered behind my back about how I should be healing, moving on by now.
But how do you heal from something that has killed you inside?

Microsoft is going to try and block the Yahoo Japan - Google partnership, a company rep told us late last night.
"We plan to present evidence to the Japanese FTC explaining why we believe that this deal is substantially more harmful to competition than Google's deal with Yahoo in 2008 that the DOJ found to be illegal," says a Microsoft rep.
When Yahoo Japan, which operates mostly independent of Yahoo U.S., decided to partner with Google it blindsided Microsoft. After all, Yahoo and Microsoft are in the middle of a big partnership in U.S. It's safe to assume Microsoft thought it would work with Yahoo in Japan, too.
That didn't happen. Now, Google and Yahoo are joining forces to own 98% of the search market in Japan, according to Microsoft's estimates. That's more than Yahoo and Google would have owned in the U.S. when the companies were going to join forces to parry Microsoft's Yahoo takeover plans. The Department of Justice told Yahoo and Google they couldn't team up because they would own too much of the search market.
In Japan, regulators appear to be okay with Google owning the search market. Earlier this week, Takahide Matsuyama executive secretary of Japan's FTC said, "In the U.S., the concern was that the companies would go from advertising competitors to collaborators. If they continue to compete for advertisers, the issue of changing your search engine is not an anti-trust problem."
Well, now Matsuyama is going to have Microsoft in his ear trying to convince him why he's wrong.
Microsoft has a good argument to make, according to Ted Henneberry, and antitrust expert and senior partner at law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. He told us, "In most jurisdictions, this deal would raise very serious and substantial competition concerns." He also says he's "surprised and puzzled" Japan would approve the deal.

2009 Graduates in the Spotlight
As Western Connecticut State University prepares for our 111th annual Commencement ceremony, we pause for a moment to look back at our past — and ahead to our graduates' futures.
Depending on the year they passed through our gates, our students have received a degree from the Danbury Normal School (1903 – 1936), Danbury State Teachers College (1937 – 1959), Danbury State College (1960 – 1967), Western Connecticut State College (1967 – 1982) and Western Connecticut State University (since 1983).
We've grown from early graduating classes of several dozen students to close to 1,000 in recent years, conferring undergraduate, graduate and starting in 2008 — doctoral — degrees.
In the class of 2008, our graduates hailed from 18 U.S. states and 118 Connecticut cities and towns. The average age was 26 for those obtaining a bachelor's degree and 35 for those obtaining a master's degree. The mean grade point average in 2008 for WestConn students receiving a bachelor's degree was 3.13. For graduate students, it was 3.81.
The numbers for the class of 2009 are still being written. Here is a glimpse at what some of our graduates' futures hold.

About this template
An obscure and noisy atmosphere
I made this dark project of 1 minute length with a jerky atmosphere. It could be used for trailers, opener or end titles for Sci-Fi movie per example. It's very simple to use, you just have to change text informations, put your audio track and your logo, then hit render. You have totally 10 places holder for showing your informations.It contains two projects :
- 1 with pre-renders (No plugins required)
- 1 with original presets (You must have Trapcode suite and VideoCopilot plugins installed)
With the original project file, you will able to change polygons animation, colors, particles. (But you need Particular, Lux, Mir and Optical Flare) You can use your own audio track but by using this one, all is already synchronised.
English video tutorial included. (30 Minutes)

Maxine and Robert Walker have worked to restore their historic Woodbine farm since they bought it in 1994. Their latest project is to replace the rotting wood on the side of their old yellow barn after rebuilding the stone foundation and replacing the tin roof.
To help pay for renovations at Harwood Horse Farm, they want to rent out part of their land for private parties and open an antiques store in an old shed. As they've sought approval from Howard County, though, the Walkers have lost friends, they say. Neighbors along quiet Jennings Chapel Road have fought for five years to stop them, pointing to the threat of traffic, litter and growing commercialization. They even held a parade in protest.
The dispute mirrors others around the Baltimore suburbs, where many farmers have been branching out because their plots are too small for them to make enough profit on agriculture alone. Various forms of agritourism — including corn mazes, scarecrow-making and pick-your-own orchards — have been around for a long time. But new land uses are cropping up, challenging local governments that have placed strict limits on what commercial activities are allowed on agricultural land.
"It's difficult for elected officials to determine how you draw the line," said Gene L. Swackhamer, retired president of the Farm Credit Bank and former national 4-H Foundation board member.
It can be difficult to distinguish a quaint produce stand from a full-service market, and it's tough to reckon with new uses like spaces for events, paintball courses and batting cages, which have been proposed elsewhere.
In Howard County this year, farmers have found themselves at the center of County Council debates over whether to relax restrictions on beekeeping and winemaking. Baltimore County has seen several high-profile legal battles in recent years over landowners' plans to sell products directly from their farms.
Swackhamer said it's difficult to make an income on small farms because they're not cost-effective. Farmers often have second jobs, rely on dual incomes or, as in the Walkers' case, find other opportunities to make money from their property and maintain their small farming operation.
Many neighbors along Jennings Chapel Road have testified against the Walkers' plan because they say that it would disrupt the community, bringing a commercial business too close to neighboring homes and farms, and potentially drawing more development.
"It's something that represents a major change for the area," said neighbor Robert Styler. "There are specific areas for development, but this is not one of them."
Because Howard County law would require that events at the Walkers' property be held outside, Styler said he believes the parties would be concentrated during the warmer months, creating regular disturbances for nearby residents.
"It's very quiet" now, he said. "Obviously, you have farm machinery going by, but the character is very scenic, very local."
Concerns similar to Styler's regularly arise when farms seek uses for their land that stray from traditional agriculture.
"Anything that is really related to agriculture seems to fly pretty well," but "people do get concerned about the manufacturing and distribution of goods" when it could be done elsewhere and not take up farmland, said Teresa Moore, executive director of the Valleys Planning Council. The group promotes land-use planning and preservation in northwestern Baltimore County.
She recalled several similar zoning challenges in Baltimore County.
At a Long Green Valley farm in Baltimore County, Bobby Prigel fought to open a creamery at his 260-acre Bellevale Farm. Prigel wanted to sell organic products made from his cows' milk, but he put the project on hold when neighbors objected to a commercial enterprise in an area where numerous farms are safeguarded from development through preservation programs.
This week, a state appeals court ruled that neighbors have the right to pursue their arguments in Circuit Court.
"We want to keep the farm viable," Prigel said. The farm must find other ways to compete with larger farms in the West and even abroad, he said, which is even more difficult given high suburban land prices. "We have to be profitable in Baltimore County."
Neighbors of Springfield Farm in Sparks, meanwhile, were concerned when its owner wanted to open a roadside stand, Moore said. They argued that farmland shouldn't be used for a commercial operation that could be located where commercial businesses aren't butting up to residential areas.
Brad Powers, former deputy secretary for the state Department of Agriculture and president of Shore Gourmet, which tries to help smaller farms market themselves, said roadside stands or corn mazes are different. Those uses support growing food, while the Walkers' and others don't.
"That gets to be more of a commercial use," he said.
He said smaller farms have been bolstered by "buy local" trends and community-supported agriculture programs, especially those near population centers and larger potential customer bases.
Such farmers are "trying to make lemonade out of lemons," using their proximity to customers to make money, said Susan G. Summers, a spokeswoman for the Maryland Farm Bureau.
In Howard County, Ted Mariani, a member of Concerned Citizens of Western Howard County, said many farmers have looked to for ways to turn a profit on smaller plots. His group advocates for land preservation in rural areas.
"What has happened over the last decade, some of the farms in the county have decided the typical grain farming or raising cattle are very difficult," he said, given competition from larger operations.
He said he knows several farmers who must rent land from other property owners to make a profit. Another farmer wants to open a creamery instead of selling milk to Pennsylvania for processing, but that could be considered a commercial operation.
And in more heavily developed Ellicott City, the owners of the 540-acre Elioak Farm also operate Enchanted Forest storybook attractions to help supplement income on the land where development is restricted because the land was placed under agricultural preservation in the 1980s.
"We've been trying to push value-added activities to existing farms," said Mariani, including a council measure to relax zoning restrictions on beekeeping earlier this year.
In May, the Howard County Council approved a contentious measure allowing farmers to establish wineries, but many residents expressed concerns over traffic, crowds and having large commercial operations on their land.
Despite an earlier county approval for the zoning change on the Walkers' property, neighbors in Woodbine fought back, taking the issue before the local Board of Appeals.
During hearings, neighbors testified against the proposal, citing disturbances such as increased traffic on narrow country roads, noise from DJs, and general concerns from a business operating out of residential and agricultural areas. Others complained about the potential for bright lights, large outdoor party tents and rowdy guests partying late into the night.
"I never thought anything like this would happen," Maxine Walker said. "I had just thought it was beautiful, and I thought we could share it with people," she said.
Walker said she expects mostly daytime bookings because "the beauty of this place is in the daytime." When neighbors raised concerns over heavy crowds coming into the neighborhood, she said she's had a few inquiries about event bookings, but they've been for smaller events, such as children's birthday parties.
Each year, the couple host several hundred people for the Iron Bridge Hounds fox hunt, they said, without any problems. Walker said some of the neighbors even join in.
Closing arguments before the Board of Appeals are scheduled for Dec.12. If the Walkers or their neighbors choose to appeal the outcome of that decision, the issue will be heard in court.
Despite the challenge, Maxine Walker said her effort to restore the rustic property to its former glory has not wavered. And whatever the result of her own zoning case, she said, "The neighborhood's going to change."
She added, "We could live here comfortably as it is, but we want to continue to make improvements. You get so much satisfaction out of it."

cafecino espresso
Has anybody ever had one of these? They are in a small can, 185mL, I used to have the one with milk years ago, they are in the fridge section at most servos, I just had a sip of the black double shot one straight after a bong. Do not recommend. There's also these Korean ones made by OKF (I think) that come in like, 5 different flavours that all taste very similar, like Mocha and Caramel Latte, but I have only seen them at one or two IGAs, but fuck, they're amazing. Uses some kind of vegetable gum as a milk substitute though.

Good stuff, all of it. I have an added curve ball in my life. I have moved to Sweden 2 years ago, which means I need to do everything you said in a new language. This has proven very tough indeed. Although most Swedes can speak really good English, companies want to do work in Swedish.
I've studied Swedish for a year and can hold my own in normal conversation, but it's hard when you're covering work related conversation. Aaaaarrgh!!

JERUSALEM (AP) — Thousands of pilgrims from around the world are celebrating Easter in the Holy Land, commemorating the day when according to Christian tradition Jesus was resurrected in Jerusalem two millennia ago.
Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal led Mass at the Holy Sepulcher church in Jerusalem on Sunday. The site is where Christians believe Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected.
In the West Bank town of Bethlehem, worshippers prayed and lit candles at the Church of the Nativity, traditionally believed to be the birthplace of Jesus.
Easter was also celebrated in Gaza where less than three thousand Christians live among about 1.7 million Muslims.
Christian communities in the Holy Land, as well as elsewhere in the Middle East, have been declining in recent years due to regional turmoil.

baker riley evans jackson amis of ky
any relation? this is the information I have on some of my family. At least as far as the bakers I know Brenda brendaphenis1 (View posts) Posted: 7 May 2008 10:40AM GMT
Classification: Query Surnames: baker jackson riley hammond evans I am the daughter of Eddie and Pansy Baker he was the son of Charlie Baker and his wife Mattie Parks Baker ( of Richmond In, formerly of Clay co ky) son of Lincoln Riley Baker b1865 he was the son of John Cooney Riley b1835 and his wife Easther Baker b in 1837. Easther Baker was the daughter of John Hammond Baker b Oct 1793 in NC I believe and his wife Lucinda Amis b 1805 John Cooney Riley's father was John Gransir Riley b 1794. You can trace our Baker line back to Andrew Baker that married a Raintree that was born on a NC Cherokee reservation. Lincoln Riley Bakers wife was Mahaley Evans Baker, she was the daughter of Sylvester Evans b1831 he was married to a lady by the name of lucinda they had a housekeeper named Mary Jackson b 1845 she was the mother of mahala evans she also had 10 more children by Sylvester before she finally gave up waiting on him and married a mcintosch, Marys parents were Porter b 1807 in Tenn Mary Jackson was born 1827 in Va we believe Porter and Mary got married in Va in 1843. they're both full blooded cherokee Porter and his sister Elizabeth were born in Tenn their mother hid them in a tree when Andrew Jackson massacred and killed everyone in their village, when they heard crying and found where their mother hid them he decided to take the children back with him to Hermitage I have been told and raise them as slaves when Andrew Jackson died they were given their freedom.They think this was around 1815 that the village was leveled. Elizabeth married a black man and moved to Chicago. Porter and Mary moved to ky from Va. Around 1860 he moved to Perry co Ky and reversed his name. He became friends with Reverend William Stidham where he settled on some of his land. In 1885 Porters son John married Martha Stidham the daughter of Morris and Polly Campbell Stidham they had 6 children.Mahaley died in 1948 she lived with my Grandparents Mattie and Charlie Baker. If so do you have any more information on our native history? I've hit a brick wall can you help brenda [email protected]
