Has anybody else noticed this disturbing trend amongst some of the younger Premiership managers of wearing V-neck pullovers over a collar and tie? It's a rum do. I know fashion goes in circles but this is not the garb of the leaders of men, but the attire of librarians and Geography teachers. Do we really want our managers looking like something from the cover of a 1940's knitting magazine or a George Formby poster? I think not. We must act before things its too late and we find these young upstarts smoking pipes, or accompanying themselves on the ukulele during post match interviews.
Now we're coming into a double game week which is always a bit of a chore, but I've also got an AGM, and an address to give to the National Council String Manufacturers to prep up which means I'm a bit cramped for time. Couple this with another shabby showing TFF wise and I'm not exactly brimming with badinage and bonhomie, so if I may be indulged, I'll try to keep this week's offering short and sweet.
Sunderland 2 West Brom 4
PROCEEDINGS commenced at the Stadium of Tedium. Now, you can have the most in demand manager, the canniest tactics, and the most bang-on formations since Hannibal gave the Roman's a good biffing at Trebia, but if you've got a goalkeeper who seems to have electric eels down his Y-Fronts you could be in for a tricky afternoon. And lo it came to pass that Simon Peter fisher of men and Boaz, mighty pillar of the temple of Solomon both had games almost as biblically catastrophic as Roger Moore's recent appearance on Have I got News For You. Wes Brom came to conquer and in consequence the great unwashed were treated to a high energy end-to-end ding-dong. Goals seemed guaranteed but you really couldn't pick a winner until bang on the half hour mark when Gera made things clearer when he unleashed a 20 yard searer. Few could deny that the Baggies led on merit, but spot-cock on the stroke of half time Mignolet had an outbreak of St Vitus' dance, and made a proper hash of Brunt's tame shot-cum-cross. 'Shorty' Long was in like Flynn to double the Baggies bag. With 20 to go the home side had shown little or no signs of a revival, but Gardeners free kick skimmed unfortunately off Fortune's dome and looped past Myhill to give the Black Cats a whiff of redemption. Any thoughts of a Sunderland revival went south however when AJ idiotically challenged Ridgewell and the former Birmingham man went down like a sack of coal and may burn in hell if he's a Catholic. Up stepped Lukaku for 1-3. You would have thought that had pretty much top and tailed it, but three minutes from time Myhill suffering from the screaming abdabs flapped at Fletcher's goal-bound header from Johnson's corner. It dropped kindly for Sessegnon who said "Merci beaucoup." and rammed it home from about a foot. 2-3. As Sunderland threw caution to the wind Lukaku on the break hit the post, before hitting the target moments later and setting the seal on the West Brom 4-2 win. The Baggies form shows no signs of sagging and they gaze down from the lofty heights of a champions League place. West Bromwich Albion v Real Madrid. Think of it! Sunderland have got a lot of fanciers at the moment but I think there is better value elsewhere – cue tonight's 7-0 drubbing of QPR . . .
Everton 1 Norwich 1
One apiece was probably about right over the hour and a half, but Everton ought to have been home and hosed by half time. Norwich came to frustrate, but Whitaker was never given sufficient cover by Snodgrass, which if you consider the home side's left wing prowess is a bit of a rick in anybody's book, and Everton duly took the lead in the 12th minute when Oviedo made mincemeat out of Norwich right back and put it on a plate for the arriving Naismith. It was a lead they were to hold for the best part of eighty minutes. With the home side unable to capitalize on their numerous chances the Canaries seemed to find renewed belief. As the clock ticked inexorably towards injury time, the visitors were awarded a bogus free kick and Garrido's sweet left peg came to the rescue again as Bassong won the back post battle and the ball hit the deck before going over the line. Howard was caught in two minds here and ought to have dealt with the cross, and if the American is found battered to death by a set of Bagpipes over the next few days I think we'll all be able to hazard a guess as to the identity of the assailant. A game which on the one hand underlined the strength and depth of the current Everton squad also reminded us how vital Fellaini has been, and that the galvanising influence of Phil Neville is a huge miss. Bainsey had a blinder.
Aston Villa 0 Arsenal 0
AT a blustery Villa Park Arsene Wenger's misfiring Gunners were held to a goalless draw by the 1st Aston Boy Scouts who deserve a notch on their collective woggle for a disciplined display, and for showing the greater desire if not the alchemy to turn their base mettle into goals. A game that was only remarkable for incredible six yard misses from Koscielny and Ramsey, was a test of stamina for the players and a test of patience for the crowd. The nearest we came to a goal was a stinging thirty yarder from Brett Holman which Chesney managed to tip onto his crossbar. The Villains would seem to be on the up, but the feckless visitors again seemed rather disinterested away from the capital, and were perhaps suffering from a post Montpellier malaise. All in all about as much fun as an evening by the fire shelling peas with Tony Adams.
Man United 3 QPR 1
THERE can't be many sets of fans who are happy to take a 500 mile round trip and be reasonably content that they only lost 3-1, but that was probably what the hapless Hoops followers were thinking as they trundled south down the A56 following this, their latest reverse. Amazingly though, as the sides went down the Old Trafford tunnel with the half time score at nil-nil, it looked as though 'Arry's pearly king magic was already working a treat; a QPR XI that featured many of the motley crew that gained them promotion and fewer of the recent big money underperformers had faired admirably in the first 45 and limited the hosts to two long range efforts and only one chance of note which RVP slammed into the side netting. Loosing his touch? I'm beginning to think so. Amazingly the 'R's took the lead seven minutes after the restart when shocking United defending allowed Dyer to get to the byline. Lindegaard failed to snaffle the cross and there was Mackie to put the cat amongst the Stretford End's pigeons. Alas the Londoner's all too familiar frailties at set pieces allowed United to turn the game on its head as Evans and Fletcher with close range headers capitalized on slack Hoops' marking at corners. Anderson and Hernandez (both from the bench) combined on the break to add a third. Ferdinand (A) had a late effort cleared off the line. The return to the fray of midfield generalissimo Darren Fletcher will be a significant arrow to Shralex's quiver as we head into the muck and bullets part of the season. So, United started with all the ferocity of a dead badger, conceded, fought back, and won the game. Nothing unusual in that in fact the only surprising thing in fact was that Kieron Dyer didn't get stretchered off or spontaneously combust.
Stoke 1 Fulham 0
AT a bracing Britania a Giorgos Karagounis drive which whistled past the Stoke post, and a Dimitar Berbatov volley which went straight at Begovic were the bookends between Stoke exerted absolute control. Huth and Shawcross both came close with headers on numerous occasions and it really was a matter of when, rather than if. The decider came on twenty-six minutes when Shotton's cross was nodded back across goal by Crouchy straight to Charlie Adam who had capacious room to take two touches before turning the ball home. 26,923 dispirited souls had to watch. Fulham's goal fountain seems to have been turned off at the mains. Dimitar Berbatov has been left high and dry without wingmen Ruiz, Duff or Kacaniklic, and the partnership with Petric hasn't exactly flourished either. Hangeland's suspension hurt them here as it will against Chelsea and Tottenham. Time to jump ship mateys.
Wigan 3 Reading 2
TO the DW now for the week's hot ticket as Wigan beat Reading by the odd goal in five and Jordi Gomes copped off with the match ball. Credit must go to Brain McDermott whose decision to fight fire with fire and play two up was mainly responsible for the expansive and entertaining nature of the game. The visitors got their noses in front rather against the run of play ten minutes before the interval when Morrison towering header gave Shorey's 40 yard free kick the finish it deserved. The lackluster Latics produced little of note throughout the first 45 belying what was to follow. Di Santo was introduced for the second half and put some five star in Wigan's tank. Within minutes he'd tested Federici with a curler before setting up Gomez for the equalizer from the inside left position. At the other end AlHabsi kept the score level with a brilliant save from Le Fondre's glancing header. With twelve minutes to go Beausejour produced the cross of the weekend which was Chorizo and Rioja for Gomez who grabbed the lead with a diving header. However two minutes later Al-Habsi prodiced the clanger of all clangers fumbling Robson-Kanu's deflected shot into his own net. Yeesh. It looked as if the Berkshire boys might escape with an ill-gotten point, but right at the death they switched off and Gomez and Kone advanced from the halfway line, played a 1-2 and the ball was in the net before you could say "I can imagine an imaginary menagerie manager, but the imaginary menagerie manager can't imagine me." So it's congrats to Sr Gomez who receives this week's ***STAR MAN*** award, and a big slap on the back also goes to the only manager in the world who owns the honcho with the humungous hooter – Mr S Rushdie of 43 Chalmondeley Towers South Kensington. I don't make predictions and I never will, but I think Manchester City could be in for a bit of a torrid time on Wednesday.
Swansea 0 Liverpool 0
THE Louis Suarez Roadshow breezed into downtown Swansea, played the better football, had the better of the scant chances on offer but couldn't topple Tremmel. Don't be fooled by the score folks the Scousers were top dogs by a country mile here. Enrique had a perfectly good goal disallowed, perhaps because he currently looks rather too much like Ming the Merciless at present. Whilst I have been intrigued to watch Liverpool's progress under their new manager, he's beginning to get on my pip of late. Just when I thought he's settled on his 1st XI he's started tinkering again and has welcomed several black sheep back into the fold over the last couple of weeks. Downing, Carragher, Henderson, and even Joe Cole have all featured as the Jumperee continues to rummage through the odd sock drawer of the Anfield HR department. The good news is that Lucas Leiva's re-rehabilitation would seem to be ahead of schedule. Swansea? Well they started well enough but were gradually pressed back and both Schechter and later Michu were rather isolated up front. I expect them to continue blowing hot and cold.
Southampton 2 Toon Army 0
A RATHER one-sided encounter down on the coast where goals on the half hour and on the hour by Lallana and Ramirez respectively saw the Saints cruise to their second home win of the campaign against a ragged Newcastle XI who never really got going. Defensive errors from Williamson and Krul(again!) were partially to blame for the Magpies demise, but the home side hit the woodwork three times and on another day could have scored five or six. Southampton's front four of Lambert, Puncheon, Lallana, and the improving Ramirez really impressed and Lallana particularly is catching the eye. Newcastle's wretched form continues and if they haven't actually fallen off yet, the wheels on Pardew's Pullman are certainly looking rather wobbly. A plague of injuries has exposed the soft underbelly of the Geordie's squad and their misfiring strikers need a good kick up the Khyber, whilst at the other end Tim Krul's clanger count continues to rise.
Chelsea 0 Man City 0
NOW, to the cauldron of vileness and toxicity that is Stamford Bridge. Yes folks it looks as if they've got away with another case of ref nobbling. Whatever the fallout of Monkeygate one thing is almost certain is that Mark Clattenburg will never referee there again, which is probably what they set out to achieve in the first place, and Mr C follows in the footsteps of Anders Frisk who at least had the good sense to retire before he found himself staring down that barrel of a Kalashnikov. And just when you thought Chelsea couldn't sink any lower they did. Like a pack of wild dogs they turned against their own. "Benitez out" proclaimed the banners. "Rafa go home" came the cries as the celery chuckers vented their collective spleen. A waste of time my friends; Russians don't do democracy – but they do do profligacy. A king's ransom spent on a stylish new midfield to rival Barca with expansive entertainment the mission statement, and they're now going to be managed by the second most negative manager in Christendom. Fifty million of her Majesties sovs frittered away on a striker who'd have trouble beating my postman Clive in a foot race. Yes it looks as if Mr A has got himself in a bit of a pickle all things considered but I can't feel sympathy for a man who owns more yachts than most of us have shirts, or for El Niño, a man whose wages are enough to run a hospital. "Let's all laugh at Chelsea la-la-la-la.
The game itself was a bit of a non event. City, who were solid if unspectacular had the better of it, but were probably happy with the point despite the shut out. Aguero missed the best chance of the game heading over from close range. Chelsea lacked their familiar fluidity largely because Mata had been stationed on the right flank to afford protection for Azpilcueta. A sign of things to come? Search me, but all the indications are that Benitez will try to sew up one end and play the percentages at the other. Chelsea spokesman Mr Apeepee Mepantees in a prepared statement said that the fact that officials had again failed to award Chelsea a penalty was being investigated.
Tottenham 3 West Ham 1
MORE like it from Tottenham who ran out comfortably winners once Jermaine Defoe had broken the deadlock at the tail end of a moribund first half. breaking through two attempted tackles, accelerating into space and then letting fly from about 20 yards with an absolute corker the England man scored the kind of goal that makes small boys wet themselves with excitement. Roy of The Rovers stuff. Dempsey with a cute dink ball set up Bale for a scrambled second just before the hour mark, and Lenny Lennon bursting through a pile of West Ham bodies set up Defoe for a tap-in third. West Ham mounted a comeback of sorts and Carroll registered with a looping header for once getting the better of Dawson & Co once Spurs had taken their feet off the gas. Bale and Dempsey both hit the woodwork, and Moussa Dembele was a late substitute. 'Appy days. Oh, and a word of praise for AVB who, in a rare outbreak of common sense elected to field two central defenders who can actually head the ball. With a crushing set of fixtures ahead it looks like being a long cold December for West Ham who were eventually outclassed here.
Stoke: The Potters move one clear in the shut-out stakes and Huth and Shawcross were both a whisker away from scoring against Fulham. Speculate to accumulate.
Chelsea: With Benitez now holding the reins the Blues' defenders must be a hold and as mentioned above Azpilcueta at £3.3M looks to have cemented his berth at right back.
Everton: The Toffees have 'big bird' Fellaini back next week, but Jelavic's touch seems to have completely deserted him.
Panacea: For managers who really need a miracle don't be surprised to see QPR suddenly become very hard to beat. He may be a money-grabbing barrel of cockney eel pie, but the old scrote knows how to set up a back four.
Defoe: Jermaine Colin of the N17 persuasion. Still at the front of a one man queue for the Lillywhites. So sharp he's in danger of cutting himself.
A strange week with and average score of 32 rewarded managers with expensive defenders. Defoe apart it was a sobering experience for those with top heavy teams. Equipe Elbows had another below par weekend partially due to my refusal to drop Gary Cahill. Posish:
Just in case you missed it: Dan Motrescu, 29, a Ukrainian of no fixed abode brought traffic to a halt for nearly three hours last Friday after having climbed the statue of Prince George, the Duke of Cambridge, in Whitehall. Having removed all his clothes the naked man kept the crowd entertained with a variety of poses before being arrested and charged with possession of an offensive weapon!
No need I'm sure to remind you of the double game week
And now for the delights of Aston Villa v Reading!

A bill that would end eight years of disputes over red-light cameras is on its way to Gov. Charlie Crist's desk.
The Senate gave final approval to the measure (HB 325) with a 30-7 vote just before noon. The House passed it last week with a 77-33 vote.
The bill would allow cities and counties to use the cameras, set fines at $158 per ticket and possibly put an end to court cases challenging local governments' issuance of tickets without a state rule backing them up.
The proposal is Palm Beach County Commissioner Burt Aaronson's number one priority because of an accident nearly a decade ago in which several Palm Beachers were killed in an intersection collision.
Sen. Arthenia Joyner objected that the bill lets rental car drivers off the hook and "creates a double standard."
Lawmakers have failed to pass the bill for eight years, but in the meantime dozens of cities, including several in Palm Beach County, have put the cameras into use.
Sen. Mike Bennett was the bill's first sponsor eight years ago.
"I thought it was nuts. I didn't want to have any part of it. In fact I offered to carry the bill so I could kill it. And that's a fact," said Bennett, R-Bradenton.
"It's taken us eight years to get to the point…literally thousands of people have died because of red light camera running. We've got to do something," he said.
Sen. Frederica Wilson said she had "the distinct honor of being one of the first recipients" of the tickets in her home town.
She said she's proof the cameras make the roads safer.
"When I am approaching a red light and I used to go through cautions, etc… never, ever again," said Wilson, D-Miami.

Friends! I have been doing a whole lot of living since the last time I was here. I can't believe my last post was nearly two months ago. So much has happened since then, and things were REAL crazy for a few weeks there. I've finally settled into summer, and I am so digging it. Last week I stayed home—you guys remember that my office is 1.5 hours from home, so I'm not home during the week? It's gross—and Kevin and I ate breakfast and dinner on our back patio every day. Last weekend we went hiking one day and surfing the next. It was so great to spend some time with him. He's the best.
When I wasn't ogling my husband, I was watching flowers to see what kinds of bees are around our house. I am SO freaking into the bees, you guys. Kevin brought his macro lens home from the lab, and I have been using it to take photos of bees whenever I can. I can't stop looking at them.
We're both so busy with work and so into our work lately that food is becoming an afterthought. And…that's been totally okay.
I started this blog during my second year of my Master's program. I was disenchanted with everything except the guy back then. My research was meaningless, my advisor or my department didn't give a shit about what I was doing, my social life was a constant struggle…things were pretty terrible. I think it was a fairly typical post-undergraduate experience. And this was my outlet.
But now I'm doing something I am passionate about. I'm working with people who are invested in my work, and if they're not directly involved, they're at least interested in what I'm doing. And I've accepted the fact that being a PhD student pretty much eliminates any chance at a social life, especially when you live 1.5 hours from work. Thank goodness for my closest friends back home, the internet, and texting. I'm happy. I'm spending more time in the world around me instead of the world at my computer, and I am enjoying the hell out of it.
So where does that leave the blog? I don't know. I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Switching it up seems to be going around. I've become friends with some really great people through blogging, and I don't want to let those friendships slide. I've put some serious thought into expanding the scope of the blog, to make it about more than food. To tell you about my job and other adventures the way Emma does. To make it an unfoodblog. Maybe I'll do that. Maybe. We'll see.

Op-ed: Hundreds of thousands of settlers now second-class citizens due to Netanyahu's policies
Elyakim Haetzni
Published: 11.02.12, 13:03 / Israel Opinion
Elyakim Haetzni
The local news outlets are focusing on the "moderate" voters who will flee Likud due to the "Lieberman threat," but they are forgetting the party's rightist bloc, which has an old score to settle with Netanyahu.
Construction in many West Bank communities is restricted because Barak is refusing to approve city construction plans, and some communities have become "illegal" only because of this refusal. "Beit HaShalom"
in Hebron was purchased for a million dollars, but 16 families were evicted from the premises for no reason at all – as a court ruling issued years later determined.
The purchase of Beit HaMachpela was found to be legal, but its dwellers were still evicted because Barak refused to certify the purchase. And there is also Migron,
and Beit-El, the university
in Ariel and the brutal evacuations of women and children, which are accompanied by the sadistic razing of homes and property.
Lieberman bears some of the responsibility for these injustices, and he also approved the "two states" formula. Therefore, merging Likud with his Yisrael Beiteinu party does not erase Netanyahu's negative track record.
Rightist voters will also consider Netanyahu's attitude towards the Levy Report, drafted by three prominent judges seeking to end the legal injustices against Jews in their own land. The prime minister continues to ignore the report, which determined that Israel is not an occupying force in Judea and Samaria.

News: USS Blue Ridge arrives in Tomakomai
Courtesy Story
By Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Fidel C. Hart
TOMAKOMAI, Japan — U.S. 7th Fleet command ship, USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19), arrived in Tomakomai, Feb. 3 for a goodwill port visit.
During the visit, sailors from Blue Ridge, embarked 7th Fleet staff and Marines from Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team-Pacific (FAST-PAC) plan to interact with local children at the Tomakomai Ice Skaking Festival. The 7th Fleet Band is scheduled to perform at the festival, along with scheduled performances at the 63rd Annual Sapporo Snow and Ice Festival, Chitose Outlet Mall and Aeon Shopping Center.
"The crew is very excited to visit the Hokkaido region during this very popular season with amazing local events," said Blue Ridge Commanding Officer Capt. Daniel Grieco. "Blue Ridge does not get the opportunity to visit this prefecture and specifically Tomakomai very often and it is a great opportunity for our Sailors to get out and meet the wonderful people here, experience all the exceptional cultural opportunities such as the Skate Festival, Sapporo Snow Festival and unique regional cuisine."
For some Blue Ridge crew members this will be the second port visit in the northernmost prefecture of Japan, Hokkaido. In Hokkaido, the city of Sapporo is the renowned location for the Annual Sapporo Snow and Ice Festival. Beyond the fascination exhibit of snow and ice sculptures, which draws tourists in from around the world, Sapporo also offers great winter sports activities such as skiing, snowboarding and sledding to visiting Sailors and Marines.
"My mom has told me that going to the ice festival in Sapporo is going to be the best experience of my life," said Electrician's Mate Fireman Alexis Hardwick. "I am very excited about getting the chance to see the festival."
Blue Ridge serves under Commander, Expeditionary Strike Group 7/Task Force 76, the Navy's only forward-deployed amphibious force. Blue Ridge is the flagship for Commander, 7th Fleet. Task Force 76 is headquartered at White Beach Naval Facility, Okinawa with an operating detachment in Sasebo.

The EXT4 corruption issue was fixed with this commit and Ted Ts'o describes it as:
This fixes the root cause of the ext4 data corruption bug which raised a ruckus on LWN, Phoronix, and Slashdot.
This bug only showed up when non-standard mount options (journal_async_commit and/or journal_checksum) were enabled, and when the file system was not cleanly unmounted, but the root cause was the inode bitmap modifications was not being properly journaled.
This could potentially lead to minor file system corruptions (pass 5 complaints with the inode allocation bitmap) after an unclean shutdown under the wrong/unlucky workloads, but it turned into major failure if the journal_checksum and/or jouaral_async_commit was enabled.

The New Lara Croft Has Been Revealed For Upcoming Tomb Raider Game
Keeley Hawes was the voice for Lara Croft in the previous Tomb Raider games. Crystal Dynamics has now announced that Camilla Luddington will voice the iconic character for the upcoming game.

"This has been one of the most important jobs for us to get right," said Darrell Gallagher, head of studio at Crystal Dynamics. "'This Tomb Raider game is very different to any other and we are demanding far more from the voice and performance acting than ever before as we take the franchise in a new direction."

Boring face. Pretty, but utterly boring.
Such a shame that no one in charge of this franchise has had a clue going on 13 years now.GD Star Rating
who the hell cares what she looks like, she's doing a voice for a character, not playing the part in a movieGD Star Rating
Still want to know why the new game is sourcing Lara Croft's power and ability in the particular way that she's assaulted in this game. I read what Ron Rosenberg has to say about how… excited… he was by this: "The ability to see her as a human is even more enticing to me than the more sexualised version of yesteryear. She literally goes from zero to hero — we're sort of building her up and just when she gets confident, we break her back down again." Pretty telling quote, that — he's turned on by the fact that she has to fight off a rapist "like a cornered animal".
WTF, Rosenberg? Lara Croft was always intelligent, tough, and witty — why the hell did you have to go there? You needed to victimize her so badly that you violated the storyline of the games and movies? Asshole. You couldn't let her be strong and powerful without some horrible trauma to justify and explain it?GD Star Rating
Not the best pic of her. Watch her on Season 4 of Californication and you'll change your mind.GD Star Rating
a jew pretends lara..GD Star Rating
@nec true – but why the pic, if we are never gonna see her? Why not a voice clip instead so we can
judge the voice of the new Laura? She IS after all,
".. doing a voice for a character, not playing the part in a movie".
And if they are using her face as a model in the game,then @Arnulfini opinion is valid. And I would agree, doesn't have that look of a woman who has seen many fights, adventures and tombs.GD Star Rating

The Sacramento Bee reports, "Undulating her hips hypnotically, Allison Miller can almost make you think the hoop spinning around her waist is suspended in air, defying gravity. Round and round it goes – effortlessly for hoopers, it seems. And the six students following Miller, 21, at her hooping-for-fitness class in Carmichael try to keep pace, though occasionally the multicolored sparkly hoops clang to the wood floor. … By the end of this particular hourlong class, some will have figured out this new move and some will have struggled. All, however, will be red-faced and sweaty from a surprisingly vigorous workout. And they'll experience something many couldn't find in other exercise programs. 'Fun,' says Marcia Alexander, 49, of Sacramento. 'It's the one time of the week I know I'm going to laugh for an hour.'" Full story: Sacramento Bee

Home : Brands : Cellex-C : Cellex-C Acne Treatment :
Of all skin care concerns for women, acne breakouts are among the most prevalent. Not only do they continue with maddening regularity, they occur well into many women's 30s. While continuing to strive against their occurrence, the length of time that they last and how they look, it's good to know that there are Cellex-C Acne Treatment Products to help. In a recent medical study, it was found that 54% of women of women reported at least occasional breakouts up to age 40 and, in another study, that women 30 to 39 years of age have breakouts at the rate one-and-a-half times that of men. Some of this can be laid at the door of hormones and stress, both of which can trigger incidents.
While Cellex-C Acne Treatment Products can't reduce your stress or regulate your hormones, they can help control the appearance and length of breakouts. Formulated by skin care experts, they are designed to provide the best of scientific research combined with natural botanical ingredients. Cellex-C Acne Treatment Products can't make life fair, but they can help you look and feel better.
To add one or more items to your bag, check the box to the left of each desired
item and then click the "Add to Bag" button at the top or bottom of the page. Items
are listed in SKU number order.
Whenever they occur and however long they last, acne breakouts are always unwelcome. You can at least help reduce the length of time they are visible and how much discomfort they cause with Cellex-C Acne Treatment Products. You no longer have to just "put up" with eruptions, not if you have these soothing and healing formulas.
Since pimples occur in specific spots -- usually at the site of an infected pore -- it only makes sense to target exactly those eruptions with Cellex-C Skin Perfecting Pen. Clean the affected area with mild soap and warm water and pat dry. Apply the leaf-green colored liquid gel directly to the site. The proprietary complexes of phytochemical concentrates will go to work to minimize the duration of the pimples and spots, while relieving the discomfort they cause. The scientifically researched ingredients, including the active extracts of olive leaf, lavender, rosemary, thyme and eucalyptus, immediately begin to help heal the skin and return it to its normal state. The cool, soothing feeling will help reduce the itching and stinging sensations that often accompany breakouts. You can even wear makeup over the treated area (although the use oil-free or powder-based cosmetics is recommended). Use up to three times a day, as necessary. When not in use, keep the cap closed, and discard any unused portion of the contents after six months. If any redness or irritation, in addition to that caused by the acne breakout, occurs during use, wash the area and discontinue use of the product.

Survivor: Redemption Island — Phillip's Feather
April 13, 2011 07:38 PM by Ryan Haidet
As I was meditating tonight, my great-great grandfather appeared. He told me that I should giggle at every goofy thing Phillip has to say throughout Survivor: Redemption Island. I did just that, but without a feather strapped to my forehead. I don't understand how anybody can be watching this season without enjoying every second crazy Phillip is on screen. He certainly was the center of attention in both of tonight's Tribal Councils as two more people had their torches snuffed out.
The Mob
After cutting Matt loose for the second time, the former Zapatera tribe members were very impressed with Boston Rob's controlling strategy. David even compared the move to a mob hit. Julie said it was simply cold-blooded to send Matt back to Redemption Island so quickly, but it was proof that the Ometepe tribe was under Rob's power with a tight bond that is hard to break.
She was right. Boston Rob is in complete control of the Ometepe six. They have a separate shelter. They eat separately from Zapatera. "It's us versus them, and we're better than them." He continued saying in a confessional that he wants his allies to hate Zapatera. That way, he can continue to keep his group loyal. That continued loyalty was displayed as Natalie approached Boston Rob to explain what happened with Ralph just a few minutes prior. Ralph had approached both she and Ashley to ask if he was on the chopping block. They didn't give him the time of day, which should make it clear that you're in danger. Ralph continued chipping away at them hoping for information before he revealed that he would give Ashley her vote if she made it to the final three. After Natalie revealed all of that info, Boston Rob said he now knew he needed to vote Ashley out before the finals. His goal was now to take Phillip and Natalie.
Phillip's Feather & Boring Battle
When Murlonio arrived for the Immunity challenge, Phillip showed up with a feather strapped to his forehead. He said that he had been asking for a sign when a feather appeared out of nowhere. Ummmm… OK…
Anyway, the challenge consisted of three parts that were far from exciting. At the end of the lackluster battle, Grant was victorious and claimed the Immunity necklace.
Back at Murlonio's camp, Mike was getting worried about Boston Rob's rule over the former Ometepe tribe members. Hoping to find the hidden Immunity Idol, Mike and David started digging around the tribe flag since it looked as if one of the poles had been shifted while they were away at the challenge. But as they were tossing sand aside in their hunt, Boston Rob noticed what they were doing and rushed over there with Phillip. They grabbed shovels and started digging in front of everybody else. Nobody found an Idol.
Another Heads To Redemption Island
At Tribal Council, Phillip was still wearing the feather on his forehead where he offered an explanation behind it. He told everybody that his great-great-grandfather, a full-blooded Cherokee, had visited him during a meditation. That great-great-grandfather also told him that the former Ometepe should "live long in Survivor lore." Everybody laughed him off. As the discussion deepened, Julie said she looks at the Ometepe six and sees there is one player at the bottom — Phillip. In response, Phillip said it's a nice place to be since you can always look up and see what's going on. Ralph mocked Phillip's feather as the chat continued. Phillip snapped back saying, "It takes courage and determination and know when to hold your tongue to get a feather." As far as the feather is concerned, Mike said it was simply a confidence issue. Phillip became defensive again as David said he was starting to sound like a lunatic.
After the votes were tallied, five fell against Phillip — or according to Ralph, "Philite." But that wasn't enough to take him out. The Ometepe six held strong and easily chopped Mike out of the competition with a ticket straight to Redemption Island.
To Eat Or Not To Eat
When the tribe arrived at the next Immunity challenge, they saw a huge pile of cheeseburgers off to the side. Before the challenge was set to begin, host Jeff Probst had each player make a decision if they wanted to eat the burgers or compete for Immunity. Only two chose to gobble down the food — Phillip and Steve. Once everybody was situated, the competition began, which involved hanging from a horizontal pole above a pool of water. The last person standing would be victorious.
Several players dropped off early, and after 20 minutes the remaining contestants were only allowed to hang on by their legs. Phillip was sitting on the side antagonizing David being very critical of everything he was doing. Despite Phillip's constant nagging, David was the final Zapatera member left in the contest against Andrea, Ashley and Natalie. The pain clearly became too much, and as David was reaching for his feet, he fell off the pole and splahed down next. Within a minute, Andrea asked her tribemates to fall off and give her Immunity since she really wanted to have it. Ashley and Natalie didn't take much time to think about it and splashed out next giving Andrea the necklace.
Fish Fight & Stealth R Us
Back at camp, Ralph discovered a bunch of dead fish inside one of their nets. He was extremely happy he had found this new food supply. But Boston Rob warned everybody not to eat the fish because it had already gone bad since they were dead for so long. The Zapatera tribe didn't care and ate the fish anyway. Although Boston Rob told the Ometepe six not to eat any of the fish, Grant didn't follow the orders and swallowed some of it down. Early signs of dissention?
When the Murlonio tribe showed up for the next Tribal Council, Phillip openly talked about his alliance known as Stealth R Us. He went deep into how their alliance operates by explaining how he is the specialist, Boston Rob is the mentalist, Grant is the assassin who destroys aspirations as the women are the three degrees. After the rant, all Probst could say was "Wow." Obviously frustrated with his crazy rants, Ralph turned the tables on Phillip and his feather. Ralph asked if Phillip's great-great-grandfather also told him to sit on the bench to eat cheeseburgers instead of competing in the challenge.
After the votes were tallied, the Zapatera tribe all voted against Boston Rob. David wrote Rob's name down four times even asking if they could count it as four. But their attempt to get rid of Rob fell short as the Ometepe six showed their dominance once again with David getting all of their votes. David had his torch snuffed and walked into the darkness toward Redemption Island.
With that, Ashley turned to her group and mouthed, "And then there were three."

I'd like to turn my old Trek 800 into a single speed. I removed the Shimano cassette from the freehub but how do you separate out the rings and spacers? thanks!
I'd like to turn my old Trek 800 into a single speed. I removed the Shimano cassette from the freehub but how do you separate out the rings and spacers? thanks!
1997 Terry Classic
some are riveted together and some had a three small screws on the back of the largest cog. do you have extra spacers?
Bianchis '87 Sport SX, '90 Proto, '90 Campione del Fausto Giamondi Specialisma Italiano Mundo, '91 Boarala 'cross, '93 Project 3, '86 Volpe, '97 Ti Megatube, , '90 something Vento 603,
Others but still loved,; '80 RIGI, '80 Batavus Professional, '87 Cornelo, '09 Motobecane SOLD, '?? Jane Doe (still on the drawing board), '90ish Haro Escape
Why bother? Just set the chain where you want it and remove the shifter, cable, and derailleur.
Stupidity got us into this mess - why can't it get us out?
- Will Rogers
looks like there are 3 small rivets on the second to smallest ring holding everything together. How do i get those apart? and yes, I do have extra spacers
1997 Terry Classic
Many Shimano cassettes are held together with very thin bolts with allen heads, IIRC, a 1.5 mm wrench fits them. If that's your case, just unthread the three bolts and the whole thing will fall apart.
Some cassettes are rivited and you have to grind off the heads. A Dremel tool with a small grinding stone is the best approach to these.
On the last cassette I took apart, the "rivets" were actually bolts with tiny hexagonal heads. Try turning them out with a pair of pliers. You'll want extra spacers to replace the space left from removing gears.
It's not a great idea to take off the derailleurs and shorten the chain. Most modern cassettes are ramped, making for smoother shifting, but if you had a shortened chain on a full cassette, it's not all that hard to accidentally catch one of those ramps and "shift." I had a friend who broke his axle in a situation just like that.
thanks guys, I'll go see if the little rivet things are actually tiny allen screws or what.
1997 Terry Classic
Grind the heads off the rivets and remove them with a pin punch. If it's the OEM cassette on Trek's lowest end 1993 MTB, that sucker is riveted together for sure.
If your bike has vertical dropouts you'll have to buy a singlespeed kit anyway in order to get the chain tensioner, and the kit will come with cogs and spacers.
my Trek 800 has a 7 speed freewheel. Geuss its an older model.
you could scrounge an old cassette from someone. Then break it up for the extra spacers you need.
yep, those are rivets holding the cassette together, guess I will try the dremel grinding stone. or maybe stop by my LBS and see if they have any old cogs around. I'd like a 23t in the back if possible b/c I plan to put winter studs on this bike and I live in a very hilly area and typically ride a 32t/18t combo on my 650B bike w/ very beefy tires for everyday kinds of commuting/riding
1997 Terry Classic
If you have a cass. with "ramps" on the cass cogs/"gears"... don't bother using them on the conversion.
Why? .. you ask .
Under heavy load, climbing or sprinting out of the saddle. The cog will "shift" the chain to the next gear... ( no matter what the chain tension ) and since there isnt one, the chain will drop.
Same for a derailer-less ( complete not dissasembled )cass ... but worse ! ( if you have old school horizontal dropout. "not a trak fork." See sheldon brown site if needed. )
Under load if you have ramps it will shift to the next larger cog ... and since, your chain will stay the same lengnt it will yank the wheel out of the drop out , right into the chain stay.
Sram seems to use tiny allen bolts that reach the smallest cog with the threaded holes, and some shimono uses rivets, the heads grind off real easy, just like mentioned above ...
Bend the knees, watch the trees ... 5 $ please .

By Chris Yuscavage
Jay-Z's busy schedule might be getting a whole lot busier.
According to a report in today's New York Post, U.S. President Barack Obama may consider making a move that would see Mr. S. Carter replace current National Economic Council Director Larry Summers when he begins campaigning for his 2012 Presidential push. Thanks to all of the success Obama enjoyed after an endorsement from Hov during his 2008 campaign, Deputy White House Press Secretary William Burton went on the record recently to announce that the Prez would definitely be open to working with him again in an official capacity when the time is right.
Here at RapFix, we can't say we're particularly surprised. Jay's endorsement prior to the '08 election did play a huge part in Obama getting elected President. But lest Obama forgets, he wasn't the only rapper to lend his name to the cause—so why is he the only one being considered? To help him make his final decision, we came up with a list of 10 other rappers who should be in the running. Vote wisely, Obama.
The Rapper: Young Jeezy
The Official Title He Could Hold: Presidential Music Coordinator
The Job Requirements: We're still a little surprised Obama didn't embrace "My President Is Black" back when Young Jeezy and Nas recorded it in 2008. Nonetheless, Jeezy's official duties as PMC would include recording "My President Is Black 2," carefully selecting Obama's soundtrack for the campaign trail, and throwing more than just Jay-Z, Nas and Lil Wayne onto the Prez's iPod. We already know you can motivate the thugs, Jeezy, now motivate the President.
The Rapper: Diddy
The Official Title He Could Hold: Campaign Slogan Creator
The Job Requirements: Come up with a clever slogan that'll appear on the front of hundreds of thousands of T-shirts that'll undoubtedly show up at flea markets and swap meets across the country. "Vote or Die"? Eh, not so much. What else ya got?
The Rapper: Soulja Boy Tell 'Em
The Official Title He Could Hold: Junior YouTube Extraordinaire
The Job Requirements: In 2010, using the Internet to win a Presidential campaign isn't an option, it's a requirement. And who better to ask for help than a rapper who literally went from nothing to something in the entertainment world thanks to a Web cam and an IP address? Just keep that "I Got a Crush on Obama" chick far, far away from the action, Souljer.
The Rapper: Drake
The Official Title He Could Hold: Rap Blog Ambassador
The Job Requirements: Drake sneezes and there's a story on the rap blogs about it. Obama needs some of that coverage, Drizzy!
The Rapper: Nicki Minaj
The Official Title She Could Hold: Celebrity Vote Collector
The Job Requirements: For every 100,000 teens that vote, Nicki Minaj will jump on UStream for five minutes. Hey, there's a reason the girl's managed to get more than a million Twitter followers, right?
The Rapper: Kanye West
The Official Title He Could Hold: The "Make Sure Obama Doesn't Dress Down Like A Dorky Dad" Stylist
The Job Requirements: It's a superficial gig, but somebody has to do it. Because while Obama commands respect in his business attire, his play clothes are another story. Don't go too crazy, Kanye (this is probably not the look—just sayin') but making Obama look a little more like the Leader of the Free World and less like the leader of the local Boy Scout troop during his free time wouldn't be a bad thing.
The Rapper: Snoop Dogg
The Official Title He Could Hold: Token Rap Endorser
The Job Requirements: Let's be real. Your parents and your grandparents don't know who Drake is or what a "Nicki Minaj" involves. But they know Snoop Dogg. If not from his music, then from his TV shows, movie appearances and commercials. So if Obama is going for the hip-hop crowd and their parents, he'll need the Doggfather in his corner.
The Rapper: 50 Cent
The Official Title He Could Hold: Twitter Page Ghostwriter
The Job Requirements: Fif says some pretty, um, "interesting" things out on the tweets. Are they offensive? Yes. Mean-spirited? Always. Rude? Uh huh. But it gets people talking about them, which is more than we can say about tweets like these. Sad but true.
The Rapper: Rick Ross
The Official Title He Could Hold: White House Meal Planner
The Job Requirements: A national campaign could zap Obama of all his energy and cause him to loss plenty of weight if he doesn't eat right. That said, even with a hectic touring and recording schedule, it doesn't look like Rick Ross has missed many meals over the course of the last few years. So why not have him lay out a, er, well-balanced diet for the Prez? Just remember Ross: When it comes to Obama, you are not the Boss.
The Rapper: Waka Flocka Flame
The Official Title He Could Hold: Hm, we'll get back to you on this one. But we'll tell you one title Waka is not gonna hold: "Baracka Flocka Flame"
The Job Requirements: All jokes aside, the kids love Waka Flocka right now. So if he tells them voting is important? Then voting becomes important. Just try and be a little more convincing the next time you do it, okay, Waka?
Do you think President Obama is serious about inviting a rapper into his inner circle? Do you think it helps or hurts his chances of being reelected? Tweet us at @MTVRapFix or tell us in a comment below!

Faculty from the USC College Writing Program have developed a Web page harnessing new online tools to teach one of the oldest rhetorical techniques.
The page contains widgets, or portable Web applications, that teach an ancient prewriting technique called "the topoi." The page's modules include video of a classroom lecture, video of a student-teacher conference and a series of interactive tools for developing essay ideas.
By collecting and sharing a diverse set of learning tools in a single place, the topoi page meets the needs of students with a wide range of learning styles. The widgets, aimed at high school or college-aged students, may be moved to any course page, blog or social-networking site.
"We're basically saying, 'Steal my content,' " said Mark Marino, assistant professor (teaching) in USC College, who was the primary developer of the topoi page. "Our goals were to create a toolbox focused on a single lesson, and to make the tools easy for teachers and students to appropriate and adapt.
"It's 'grab the code and go': rip, reuse, remix." Marino continued. "The Web gives anyone the flexibility to disseminate the tools we've developed."
As part of university general-education requirements, the Writing Program provides instruction in composition to all USC undergraduates.
Literary topoi are an ancient rhetorical framework originally attributed to Aristotle. Using the topoi, students learn to look at a subject through various analytical lenses. The topoi are commonly taught in the curriculum of many first-year composition courses across the nation.
The page presents an innovative use of Pageflakes, a Web service typically used to create personalized online portals based on users' personal interests.
Because the widgets are released under a Creative Commons license, faculty may use, distribute and alter these tools.
"This project takes up the ethos of open universities, contributing to a set of freely available resources for students and faculty," Kevin Egan, assistant professor (teaching) in USC College and co-developer of the topoi page. "We hope one day soon students will assemble their own courses out of widgets from many institutions — not as a replacement for the teacher-student relationship, but as an enhancement to the learning process."
The Writing Center's Widgetbox standalone module on topoi can be used on Facebook, Blogger, Wordpress and other Web pages. This module serves as a starting point for students interested in learning more about the topoi.
These widgets were created by Marino and Egan in collaboration with Jack Blum, senior associate director of the Writing Program, and Mira Zimet from the USC College Office of Communication.

I ended up enrolling in CollegePlus and forgot about my scholarship [to Regent University] because I wanted to get my degree done as fast as possible. Little did I know, when I enrolled in CollegePlus, there were going to be opportunities presented to me because of the flexibility that CollegePlus provided. At a 4-year university... I would have been studying away in some dorm room on campus. Without CollegePlus, I wouldn't be able to travel the United States, teach teens about politics and government, interact with legislators, governors, senators, representatives, and be open to a plethora of opportunities and people who are eventually going to set me up for success later in life.
Whether you're looking to add flexibility, save money, or expedite your degree, one of our Admissions Representatives will help you determine if CollegePlus is a good fit for you.

While working to manage company growth and operational challenges, one of the key levers in cost strategy is excellence in global procurement and, above all, execution of the broad project portfolio across the organization. These imperatives have elevated the role of the procurement executive from a buyer of goods and services to a true business partner in the pharmaceutical companies' quest to remain profitable and competitive in the turbulent economy.
Making an impact on costs is complex in large multinational, matrixed corporations. To see a true impact on your bottom line, you need to ask the right questions from the start, and tailor your programs to your business's unique circumstances. While there is no one-size-fits-all strategy, I have found through many years of working with pharma companies that there are five key questions every global procurement executive should ask as they enter a constrained fiscal and payment environment in 2011. Addressing these issues will not only put you in a better position to plan for the year, but also help you come closer to meeting your financial goals.1. Are you aggressive enough in your targets on procurement cost savings?
Many executives limit themselves by comparing their results with other large pharmaceutical companies. Consider looking at more aggressive businesses in generics and other industries, which have taken more of a hard line on their cost reduction strategies and, consequently, have seen bigger payoffs. For example, one professional benchmarked the travel expenses of a pharmaceutical client's executive office to those of other global manufacturing firms with the same geographical footprint. He found a $9,000 to $10,000 difference per person in total annual costs, demonstrating an enormous opportunity to revisit travel cost targets. This strategy can even be more dramatic if you start comparing industries like automotive or high-tech, which are making most of their profits from their ability to source and procure effectively.
2. When you look at procurement costs, are you looking at all the factors affecting them?
Just focusing on driving prices down with suppliers is a good start, but usually this will have its limits, as it affects only your suppliers. The concept of total cost of ownership has gained greater importance in many corporations, but the degree to which it is implemented is a different story. We find that managing demand and consumption remains mostly unexplored. The key is to reassess ways of doing business first, then change behavior within your organization to modify—to your advantage—the current demand and adaptation to new processes.
A leading pharmaceutical company needed to reduce their overall marketing spend. We worked to prioritize their needs, while looking for ways to generate greater compliance and reduce costs. Several new processes were developed, such as requiring that 90 percent of all purchases go through an approval process, scaling back catalogue offerings, and requiring longer lead times for placing orders. As a result, the company experienced 40 percent savings across the key regions with no loss of business.

Under analysis: Wendell Sherman-Strand, two,was born with a condition doctors cannot identify,which has left him with little muscle tone and an inability to walk or talk. – MCT
A couple hope a new genetic test can help find what's wrong with their son.
AT age two, Wendell Sherman-Strand still can't sit up, walk or talk. The curly-haired Minneapolis boy doesn't have the muscle control to grab a rattle or stand on his own.
And nobody knows exactly why.
So far, every test his doctors have run to find a diagnosis has come up empty. Now, his specialists at the University of Minnesota want to comb through his DNA for an answer. They're sending a teaspoon of his blood to a lab in Texas to sequence his genetic makeup.
Wendell is one of the first patients at the university to undergo the newest generation of genetic testing, known as "whole exome sequencing".
In effect, it allows scientists to go on a fishing expedition through the human genome in search of troublesome mutations.
"Instead of testing one gene at a time, we're testing really all known genes simultaneously," said Dr Christine Eng, senior director of the Medical Genetics lab at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where the test is being conducted.
The test is still a rarity – it's only been widely available for about 18 months. And the state of the art is still so primitive, relatively speaking, that there's no guarantee it will find a definitive answer. But for Wendell's parents, Katie Sherman and John Strand, it's a chance to solve a medical mystery that has baffled the experts from the start.
Wendell's face lights up with a megawatt smile as he arrives for physical therapy at the university's Amplatz Children's Hospital. His bright blue eyes wander randomly – an effect of his nameless condition – but he understands more than he can express, his mother says.
He squeals with glee as Katie Larson, his therapist, balances him on a giant therapy ball. "Come on up," she says, coaxing him to lift his head. "Go go, fight fight, go go go. You did it! Good job."
Then she props him up while his mother reads him a book, and he visibly struggles to lift his hand to turn the page. "Another book?" Larson asks. Wendell clasps his fingers to signal the word "more".
"He does make progress," his mother says. "It's just at a really glacial pace."
Sherman said she'd always assumed that doctors "had a label for everything". But that was before Wendell, her second son, was born in April 2011.
At first, Sherman and her husband, a high school teacher in Minneapolis, saw no reason to worry. Wendell was a hefty newborn, weighing in at more than 4.5kg.
The couple had no hesitation taking him and his older brother, Bjorn, for summer break to a one-room cabin with no running water near Silver Bay. "We were kind of removed from everything," she said.
Then, at a family reunion when Wendell was two months old, they saw a baby boy who was just a month older.
"I remember thinking, 'Wow, what a difference one month makes,'" Sherman said. The other baby reached out his arms and kicked his legs, while Wendell curled up in a foetal position.
"There were moments up there when I was like, well, shouldn't he be grabbing things? He just didn't have the strength to hold anything."
By his six-month checkup, her fears were confirmed. Wendell couldn't hold his head up when he was pulled to a sitting position. The doctor referred him to a specialist, who referred him to a neurologist.
At that point, Sherman said, "I just broke down crying."
A battery of tests, from MRIs of his brain and spine to a biopsy of his thigh muscle, turned up nothing.
For the family, there were only more questions. Would he grow out of it? Learn to talk? Learn to walk? "Nobody knew," his mother said. "You're in this netherworld of just not knowing how to think."
That isn't unusual when it comes to children with developmental delays, said Dr Peter Karachunski, Wendell's physician and a paediatric neurologist at the university. "Sometimes it's easy to answer the question, and sometimes it's quite difficult."
Wendell's case turned out to be particularly challenging, he said. Unlike some conditions that can be traced to a single genetic defect, the little boy's symptoms could be caused by many. "So we're kind of stuck right now," Karachunski said.
That's why he suggested the gene sequencing test.
The test concentrates on about 3% of the human genome where "most genetic diseases and most mutations tend to fall", says Matt Bower, a genetic counsellor at the university. That area is known as the exome, he said. "It's the most likely place to find mutations."
The test relies on massive computer power to winnow down the suspects, combing through millions of snippets of DNA.
"It's like when you're looking for a murder suspect," Bower said, "you're looking at people with a criminal history vs just going door to door."
The whole process takes about 15 weeks and costs about US$7,000 (RM21,000), said Eng, who oversees Baylor's medical genetics lab. One reason it takes so long, she said, is that there's a lot of interpretation. The results are rarely clear-cut – they may turn up genetic variations that have nothing to do with Wendell's condition.
"We have to determine which results are clinically relevant and which ones are not," she said. "It becomes almost like a puzzle." – Star Tribune/McClatchy-Tribune Information Services

13 December 2010 - Met Office forecasters are predicting a return to very cold conditions later this week, with the risk of further snowfall and widespread icy conditions and the potential for travel disruption.
A band of rain, sleet and snow will push south across the country on Thursday, to leave widespread ice for many as temperatures plummet as strong northerly winds set in. Snow showers will then follow especially across northern and western parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Met Office Chief Forecaster, Steve Willington said: "Following the rain and snow on Thursday, skies are expected to clear rapidly with widespread ice likely to form quickly. This could lead to disruption to travel networks, potentially through the morning rush-hour in Scotland."
Snow showers are then likely to spread across many places exposed to the northerly wind, especially northern and western parts of the UK later on Thursday and through Friday.
The public are advised to stay up to date with the very latest weather forecasts and warnings on our website, radio and TV and should take measures to ensure that they are prepared for severe weather.

The Labor Department is asking for public comments as it and two other federal agencies prepare to develop rules for a law that requires employers to offer the same level of insurance coverage for mental health disorders as they do for other medical conditions.
The 2008 mental health care parity law takes effect next year.
Information sought by the agencies—the Labor Department, Treasury Department and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—includes: the financial impact of upgrading health care plans to comply with the mandate; which provisions in the law require clarification from regulators; how out-of-network coverage for mental disorders differs from out-of-network coverage for other medical conditions; and whether any special consideration should be given to small employers.
The request for comments was published in the April 28 edition of the Federal Register.
Comments are due by May 28 and can be sent via e-mail to the Labor Department at E-OHPSCA.EBSA@dolgov.
Filed by Jerry Geisel of Business Insurance, a sister publication of Workforce Management. To comment, e-mail email@example.com.

Tufts Students Are Diverse in More Ways Than One
The energy of the Tufts community is due in no small part to the mix of people. Jumbos come from a range of backgrounds and bring diverse talents, opinions, interests, and experience to the table. It almost makes more sense to talk about "diversities" rather than "diversity."
We invite you to explore our many centers and resources in our interactive Diversity Map.
Geographic Diversity
Tufts students come from most of the fifty states and nearly seventy countries – from Cape Cod to the Florida Keys, from Long Island to the Rio Grande Valley, from Brazil to Bahrain.
About 16 percent of Tufts students come from overseas, bringing with them a different culture and often a different language. The International Center serves as an academic and social resource for international students, working to raise intercultural awareness, increase knowledge of immigration laws affecting the Tufts international community, and advocate a campus climate that respects cultural differences.
Racial and Ethnic Diversity
Tufts students are racially and ethnically diverse. Each year, approximately 30 percent of students identify as students of color. Student-run clubs and organizations on campus include the African Student Organization, the Arab Students Association, Association of Latin American Students, Caribbean Club, Chinese Students Association, Emerging Black Leaders, Filipino Cultural Society, the Hellenic Society, Hindu Students Council, Japanese Culture Club – and the list goes on.
Socioeconomic Diversity
Since 1852, Tufts has been committed to the vision of its founders to educate all people, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Today, more than 40 percent of Tufts students are financial aid recipients and 10 percent receive Pell grants. Approximately 10 percent of students are the first in their family to attend college. Tufts meets the full demonstrated need of all admitted students. Read more.
Sexuality and Gender Diversity
You'll find about a 50:50 ratio of women to men (and men to women) on the Tufts campus. Women take especially strong roles in the sciences and engineering. One third of Tufts engineering students are women, and the percentage of female faculty is almost 10% over the national average. In the School of Arts and Science, Tufts women's, gender, and sexuality studies major is open to people of all genders interested in an interdisciplinary approach to studying the history of sexuality, queer theory, and the way gender roles influence social, political, and economic life around the world.
Beyond the classroom, the LGBT Center supports the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students, faculty, staff, and alumni in an environment that's welcoming and safe. The closely affiliated Queer-Straight Alliance (QSA) and Rainbow House also regularly sponsor speakers, movie nights, and other social and educational events for LGBT students and allies. The greater Boston area is particularly welcoming to its large number of LGBT students. Massachusetts not only is famous for being the first state to legalize same-sex marriage, but also has some of the strongest antidiscrimination statutes in the country.
Religious Diversity
Tufts students are Christians and Jews, Muslims and Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs, atheists and agnostics. The University Chaplain provides interfaith services and programs and serves as an umbrella for religious life at Tufts. On campus, you'll find weekly Buddhist, Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Jewish (Reform and Conservative), Hindu, Muslim, Protestant, and Quaker services. Off campus, the Medford/Somerville area is home to a number of religious communities.
Student religious groups include Buddhist Sangha, Hillel, Muslim Students Association, Orthodox Christian Fellowship, Protestant Student Fellowship, and the Christian Fellowship, among others.
Tufts professors in the Department of Religion are specialists on Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Chinese religions, Christianity, and Islam. The Judaic studies major combines the study of the languages, religion, culture, and history of the Jewish people.
Intellectual Diversity
The heart of our diverse community is a student body with different ideas, opinions, and perspectives. In the classroom, Tufts students are engineers and artists, scientists and writers. Outside the classroom, Tufts students are Democrats, Republicans, socialists, athletes, photographers, ROTC cadets, journalists, volunteers, dancers and a cappella singers. All have an intellectual curiosity and passion for ideas that drives discussion in class and out.
The Group of Six
The Group of Six is a collection of centers that work together and independently to develop knowledge of and appreciation for diversity at Tufts. Staff members at each center advise and advocate for specific constituencies and serve as resources for all students, faculty, and staff. They are the Africana Center, the Asian American Center, the International Center, the Latino Center, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Center, and the Women's Center.

Recycle broken eggshells to create a pretty mosaic!
To do this you need to:Prepare a variety of dye colours in plastic containers.
- Dye the eggshells by simply immersing them in a little amount of hot water with a few drops of food colouring.
- Add a drop of vinegar to the water to help set the colour.
- Leaving the shells in for varied lengths of time will create different shades of colour to work with.
- Remove shells from dyes and spread them out on paper towels to dry.
- When the shells are dry, gather the different colours in separate containers.
- Arrange the shell pieces in the basic mosaic design before beginning to glue.
- When satisfied with the mosaic placement, the shell pieces can be glued into place with white glue.
- If you prefer a shiny glaze on the completed project, use a clear spray lacquer to coat the entire mosaic.

I think instead of me just giving you the code you want I am going to ask you to try and resolve the query yourself, then when you run into problems come and post your code here and the problem/error you're having and someone will most definitely help you, but we're not going to just give you code, you don't learn anything that way and I have this thing about doing other peoples work for free.
So take a stab at it and see what you can come up with.

Armed & Famous Cast Presents Muncie Police Department With Three Hummer SUVs
January 10, 2007 07:31 PM by Joe Reality
On behalf of the ARMED & FAMOUS production, the cast of CBS' new reality series, surprised the Muncie, Ind. Police Department with a special thank you gift, three fully-equipped 2007 Hummer SUVs, all loaded with standard police vehicle equipment. The presentation was made today during a community celebration in Muncie, Ind., which marked the end of production as well as the celebrity's service as Muncie police officers.
The Muncie Police Department's Chief, Joe Winkle, was so impressed with Jack Osbourne's abilities as a new cadet, that he extended an invitation to Osbourne during the ceremony to become a full-time member of the Muncie Police Department. Osbourne, who was moved by the offer, referred to his time in Muncie as "the most powerful experience he has ever been through in his life." Osbourne declined to relocate to Muncie, Ind., but did ask if the Chief would provide a letter of recommendation for him to a police academy in Los Angeles County.
Chief Winkle also honored the cast with a commemorative plaque from the Muncie Police Department that will hang in the Fraternal Order of the Muncie Police alongside their fellow officers. Munice's Mayor Dan Canan presented the cast with a certificate of appreciation from the City of Muncie for their dedication and service
ARMED & FAMOUS premieres tonight, Wednesday, Jan. 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) followed by a special original broadcast on Thursday, Jan. 11 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. ARMED & FAMOUS moves to its regular time period, Wednesdays (8:00 – 9:00 PM, ET/PT) on Jan. 17.

June 28 was the last day for the YMCA gym at 6130 U.S. 19, inside the SunTrust Bank branch building, according to Julio Vega, district vice president for West Pasco for YMCA of the Suncoast.
A "We've Moved" sign pasted inside the side-entrance door lists the phone number for the James P. Gills Family YMCA.
While the Gills unit of the Clearwater-based YMCA of the Suncoast, in the Trinity area, continues to thrive, "It wasn't feasible for us to keep that site open any longer," Vega said Tuesday.
In recent years, the New Port Richey branch specialized in services for older members. Its Silver Sneakers exercise programs especially remained popular with active seniors, Vega said.
The YMCA hasn't abandoned loyal members in New Port Richey, Vega emphasized. "There's a lot of options," Vega said. It has partnered with four satellite locations at public buildings or other sites to continue Silver Sneakers programs.
One possible locations is the refurbished CARES Elfers Center, starting later this month, Vega said. "We're working on an agreement with them," he said about using the second floor auditorium for exercise programs.
The CARES Elfers Center is waiting on certification from insurer Healthways before authorizing the YMCA exercise program, according to its director, Evie Parks. She then hopes to contact the local Silver Sneakers participants and welcome them with a pancake breakfast and tour.
"We are expecting that to happen in the next 2-3 weeks," Parks wrote in an email.
When it first opened, the SunTrust Branch Y was the only game in town for YMCA members. The Gills Branch, at 8411 Photonics Drive, would not open until April 1998.
Memories have grown a bit fuzzy over the years, but Vega believes the New Port Richey facility began about 18 years ago.
The YMCA branch survived several bank mergers involving Barnett Bank, NationsBank, Huntington Bank and Bank of America. SunTrust Bank continues to occupy the building since about 2001.
At that time, speculation focused on West Pasco Chamber of Commerce possibly moving into the building alongside the YMCA if SunTrust decided to sell the parcel. But the bank kept the location at 6128 U.S. 19.
The New Port Richey YMCA closed about seven weeks after The Suncoast News moved out of its former building at 6214 U.S. 19, which is next door. The Suncoast News relocated its news and advertising offices to 8609 Regency Park Blvd., Port Richey.
Prudential Commercial Real Estate FL is listing the vacant former Suncoast News building, which has more than 24,000 square feet, for $1.2 million. The building is owned by Media General, the Richmond, Va., company that formerly owned The Suncoast News.
