| 7.1°C Belfast
Actress Maureen Lipman is to blame for too many young people going to university to study poor quality degrees, according to Nigel Farage.
The star's well-known 1980s BT television advert, where she told her grandson that having an "'ology" made him a scientist, meant now there were lots of students "getting 'ologies", the Ukip leader said.
Mr Farage said his party would cut down the number of university students, which would free up cash to reduce the level of annual tuition fees.
In a phone-in broadcast on The Telegraph website, he said: "My position is I think we are sending too many youngsters to university.
"I think we are encouraging people to go and get degrees, in many cases not particularly good degrees, and not improving their life chances one little bit.
"I blame Maureen Lipman for the whole thing. If you remember the advert, 'oh he's got an 'ology'.
"So, we have got a lot of people getting 'ologies and I think the way we have demeaned in Britain the idea of people learning skills and trades is just stupid."
He added: "If we get to a position where we are sending fewer people to university then we can substantially reduce the almost standard now £9,000 a year, because that's what it's become, and get it down to a much more realistic level.
"It would be a lovely aspiration to think that we wouldn't have to charge anybody."
Mr Farage also told Telegraph readers that his low voting record in the European parliament was down the medical treatment he had been receiving since he was injured in a plane crash on election day in 2010 and the demands on his time as party leader.
"I had a plane crash back in 2010 which took me out for a few months. I have since then had some pretty radical major surgery and I'm still going through fairly intensive physiotherapy.
"I have missed a fair few sessions of the parliament over the course of this parliament through ill health.
"I'm also leading a political party in the United Kingdom and Strasbourg is about eight hours door to door from home.
"So, it's difficult to do all of these things."

The term baffle covers a flat board or plate, deflector vanes, guides, grids, gratings or similar devices constructed or placed in flowing water, wastewater or slurry systems.
A baffle is used to absorb energy to slow the flow or to produce a more uniform distribution of velocities. It can divert, guide or agitate the liquid, and it can check eddies.
In the picture the baffle is used to avoid the inlet water activating the float switches. It also minimises the mix of air in the water as it splashes in to the pumping station.

By Andrew Higgins, The Wall Street Journal
SAINT-GENIS-POUILLY, FranceLate last year, as an international crisis was brewing over Danish cartoons of Muhammad, Muslims raised a furor in this little alpine town over a much older provocateur: Voltaire, the French champion of the 18th-century Enlightenment.
A municipal cultural center here on France's border with Switzerland organized a reading of a 265-year-old play by Voltaire, whose writings helped lay the foundations of modern Europe's commitment to secularism. The play, "Fanaticism, or Mahomet the Prophet," uses the founder of Islam to lampoon all forms of religious frenzy and intolerance. The production quickly stirred up passions that echoed the cartoon uproar. "This play ... constitutes an insult to the entire Muslim community," said a letter to the mayor of Saint-Genis-Pouilly, signed by Said Akhrouf, a French-born cafe owner of Moroccan descent and three other Islamic activists representing Muslim associations. They demanded the performance be cancelled.
Instead, Mayor Hubert Bertrand called in police reinforcements to protect the theater. On the night of the December reading, a small riot broke out involving several dozen people and youths who set fire to a car and garbage cans. It was "the most excitement we've ever had down here," says the socialist mayor.
The dispute rumbles on, playing into a wider debate over faith and free-speech. Supporters of Europe's secular values have rushed to embrace Voltaire as their standard-bearer. France's national library last week opened an exhibition dedicated to the writer and other Enlightenment thinkers. It features a police file started in 1748 on Voltaire, highlighting efforts by authorities to muzzle him. "Spirit of the Enlightenment, are you there?" asked a headline Saturday in Le Figaro, a French daily newspaper. A debate on Swiss television last month degenerated into a shouting match when the director of the Saint-Genis-Pouilly performance accused a prominent Muslim of campaigning to censor Voltaire in the past. The two men also have traded insults in the French media.
Sunday in the Pakistani city of Karachi, about 50,000 people, many chanting "Hang those who insulted the prophet," rallied to protest the cartoons. The protest, held a day after a visit to the country by President Bush, also featured chants of "Death to America." In a video broadcast Sunday, Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, also denounced the Danish drawings, saying they showed the West has double standards because "no one dares to harm Jews ... nor even to insult homosexuals."
"Help us Voltaire. They've gone mad," read a headline last month in France Soir, a daily newspaper. Editors in France, Germany and elsewhere have explained their decision to reprint the drawings by pointing to principles enshrined in a statement often attributed to Voltaire: "I disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Voltaire said something similar, but the phrase was coined in 1906 by a biographer of Voltaire to sum up the French writer's views.
"Fanaticism," the play that stirred the ruckus in Saint-Genis-Pouilly, portrays Muhammad as a ruthless tyrant bent on conquest. Its main theme is the use of religion to promote and mask political ambition. For Voltaire's Muslim critics, the play reveals a centuries-old Western distortion of Islam. For his fans, it represents a manifesto for liberty and reason and should be read not so much as an attack on Islam but as a coded assault on the religious dogmas that have stained European history with bloody conflict. When Voltaire wrote the play in 1741, Roman Catholic clergymen denounced it as a thinly veiled anti-Christian tract. Their protests forced the cancellation of a staging in Paris after three performances -- and hardened Voltaire's distaste for religion. Asked on his deathbed by a priest to renounce Satan, he quipped: "This is not the time to be making enemies."
Jean Goldzink, a scholar who edited a French edition of "Fanaticism," sees in today's tumult a repeat of the polemics aroused by Voltaire in his lifetime. "It is the same situation as in the 18th Century," Mr. Goldzink says. "Then it was Catholic priests who were angry. Now it is parts of the Muslim community."
Voltaire, the pen-name of Francois-Marie Arouet, peppered his writing with irreverent barbs that riled the Church. He described God as "a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh," and wrote that "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him." Mr. Goldzink, the scholar, says Voltaire mocked all religions but had some sympathy for Islam, which Voltaire described as "less impure and more reasonable" than Christianity and Judaism.Banned from Paris by France's Catholic king, Voltaire moved to Geneva. He quickly irked Swiss authorities, who burned one of his books. He then moved to a chateau a few miles from Saint-Genis-Pouilly and wrote a "Treatise on Tolerance." He later campaigned in vain to reverse a blasphemy conviction against a French noble, who was tortured, beheaded and then incinerated -- along with a copy of Voltaire's "Philosophical Dictionary."
Accusations of blasphemy attract mostly yawns today in mainly secular Europe, though they do sometimes excite the dwindling Christian faithful. Monty Python's 1979 film "Life of Brian" was banned for a time in parts of Europe. More recently, "Jerry Springer: The Opera," which portrays Jesus as a homosexual who dances around in diapers, drew protests from Christian groups. Still, it ran for months in London and was broadcast by British state television.
Some devout Muslims are trying to revive taboos against blasphemy, and there are signs of growing self-censorship on matters even tangentially related to Islam. In January, the Belgian town of Middelkerke cancelled a planned art display that featured a fiberglass model of Saddam Hussein submerged in a fish tank in his underwear. The Czech artist, David Cerny, describes his work "Shark" as "a reflection on dictatorship." Officials say they worried it might upset local Muslims.
Herve Loichemol, a French theater director who produced the recent readings of Voltaire's play in Saint-Genis-Pouilly and Geneva, says he wasn't trying to provoke Muslims but knew from experience his production might anger some. He pushed ahead anyway. Banning blasphemy "admits private beliefs into public space," he says. "This is how catastrophe starts."
In the early 1990s, Mr. Loichemol had proposed staging the play to mark the 300th anniversary of Voltaire's birth in 1694. Islamic activists objected, among them Tariq Ramadan, a Swiss Muslim whose grandfather founded the Muslim Brotherhood fundamentalist movement in Egypt. Mr. Ramadan wrote an open letter in October 1993 warning that performing Voltaire's play would "be another brick in an edifice of hatred and rejection in which Muslims feel they are being enclosed."
Last spring, Mr. Loichemol decided to take another stab at reviving the play and persuaded Saint-Genis-Pouilly to include it in a program of cultural events, along with Flamenco dancers and a lowbrow farce.
Mr. Akhrouf, the cafe owner and activist, says that in early December, he got an agitated phone call from a friend who had just received a leaflet advertising the event. Mr. Akhrouf found a copy of the play on the Internet and started shaking with rage as he read the portrayal of Muhammad as a fanatic.
Shortly afterward, he attended Friday prayers at a big mosque in Geneva and talked about his concerns with Hafid Ouardiri, a mosque official and veteran of the earlier anti-Voltaire campaign. They drafted a letter to the mayor demanding the play be cancelled "in order to preserve peace." Mr. Ouardiri, an Algerian-born former leftist radical, came to France in the 1960s and says he used to chant the 1968 student slogan, "It is forbidden to forbid." Now a devout Muslim, he says he champions "the need to forbid." Algeria and other Muslim countries, he says, were colonized by Europeans "nourished by Voltaire." Mayor Bertrand considered dropping the play. But after talking to aides and voters, he decided to stand by Voltaire. A meeting two days later to defuse the crisis got nowhere. Mr. Bertrand, flanked by officials from France's security service and other state bodies, quoted a section of France's constitution that guarantees free speech. Mr. Akhrouf and Mr. Ouardiri pleaded with authorities to try to understand Muslim feelings. Mr. Akhrouf broke down in tears. "I was very emotional," he says.
The night of the reading, riot police took up positions outside Saint-Genis-Pouilly's cultural center. An hour into the performance, the mayor got called out of the hall because of street disturbances. The mayor says the mood was "quasi-insurrectional," but damage was minor. Police chased Muslim youths through the streets. Now that tempers have calmed, Mayor Bertrand says he is proud his town took a stand by refusing to cave in under pressure to call off the reading. Free speech is modern Europe's "foundation stone," he says. "For a long time we have not confirmed our convictions, so lots of people think they can contest them."
He does have one regret: He found the play, five acts in archaic verse, "deeply boring."

327483 - Alida dropped by for a fantastic fiesta. She knew what time it was and did not hesitate to show me the password. She had a sexy ass and a sweet rack. She was very anxious and very horny. She quickly pulled her panties to the side and began playing with her sweet pussy. It was a juicy biscuit and she was getting so horny playing with it. She was happy to see Sergio and swiftly started sucking his dick. Then, she jumped up on that cock and I enjoyed watching her ride out as her pussy got banged. It was a beautiful sight, watching her sexy ass bounce up and down. She continued to get her pussy pounded until the cream erupted all over. Fiesta style.

A special performance by Blue Nefertiti's "Paris@Night," a French cabaret solo act by Celia, the younger sister from Les Nubians, highlights Wednesday's Gala & Awards Ceremony. The event kicks off the 20th annual Chrysler Financial
A special performance by Blue Nefertiti's "Paris@Night," a French cabaret solo act by Celia, the younger sister from Les Nubians, highlights Wednesday's Gala & Awards Ceremony. The event kicks off the 20th annual Chrysler Financial African Festival of the Arts to be held Labor Day weekend, Sept. 4 -7.
Celia from Les Nubians (below)
Presented by Africa International House, the gala will be held in the Hospitality Tent on the grounds of the festival in Washington Park at 51st and Cottage Grove. The colorful event will also include signature cocktails, music, dancing, scrumptious buffet, a showcase of authentic and museum-quality African art and fine art including works of Dayo Laoye, the artist for the official 2009 African Festival image. Also on display will be the works of other premier fine artists including Nii Oti, Frank Frazier, Woodrow Nash and Jeffrey Williams. Participating galleries include Faie–African Art in Bronzeville and the Woodshop Art Gallery.
Blue Nefertiti's style is a direct reflection of her vast influences in music, luring her audience into her world of experimental music. Jazz, electronic, soul, house, reggae and hip hop are the soundtrack to her narrative love triangle between Africa, Paris and New York City. The show is an unconventional melange of ingenious originals and innovative eloquence of Miriam Makeba, Abbey Lincoln, Nina Simone, Edith Piaf, Josephine Baker, Minnie Ripperton, Dave Brubeck; the sophistication of Joao Gilberto; the vocal acrobatics of Bobby McFerrin; and the dynamic duality of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. She began singing professionally with Helene, her older sister, in France during the mid-1990s, later forming the internationally renowned singing duo, Les Nubians. After 10 years in the business, a myriad of recordings and awards, Blue Nefertiti is now outwardly expressing her inner workings where the blues of past loves mingle with the pink and gold of life's joys, the intensity of an eternal glimpse, the memory of a sacred moment and the urge of colorful souls calling out for love.
Gala tickets are $75 per person; $125 per couple. For gala and festival info, call (773) 955-ARTS (2787). Also, visit www.africanfestivalchicago.com.
Wedding Bells will peal on Saturday afternoon when the Hon. Dorothy Brown, clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, and Dr. Benton Cook III, a clinical psychologist, repeat sacred marital vows at King of Glory Tabernacle Church of God in Christ during a ceremony co-officiated by the Rev. Jesse Hodges and Rev. Marshall Hatch.
Honorable Dorothy Brown
The groom, founder and CEO of Family Wellness Institute, is an ordained bishop in Word on the Move Christian Fellowship who also worked with Presiding Bishop G.E. Patterson of COGIC in Memphis. For 20 years, the groom-elect was a producer with NBC-TV in Denver. The Consulate General of India and a number of elected government officials are on the prestigious guest list for the wedding and reception. The bridal party of 16 will wear crimson and cream, which just happens to be the colors of Delta Sigma Theta, the bride-elect's sorority. God bless!
Coo-Some Twosome – Longtime partners and soulmates Col. Eugene F. Scott, president of the Chicago Defender Charities Inc., and Beverly A. Reed, poet/humanitarian and the Charities' program manager, have married!

Paul Joseph Watson
September 3, 2010
One of the authors of a report which called for the authorities to infiltrate conspiracy websites in a bid to "increase trust in the government" has responded to an online backlash by claiming conspiracy theories, and not the government, are responsible for spreading lies and distrust which ultimately lead to violence.
As we highlighted on Monday, a report published by the UK think tank Demos called The Power of Unreason encouraged the government to "fight back" against conspiracy theories by infiltrating websites in an effort to restore confidence in the state and discredit evidence of government complicity in the 7/7 and 9/11 terror attacks.
Appearing on a website for activists involved in the Liberal Democrat Party, one of the members of the new coalition government in Britain, an article by Demos' Carl Miller attempts to diffuse criticism of the report by belittling the backlash as "an interesting micro-study" into how dangerous "conspiracy theories" have a harmful social influence.
Miller characterizes "conspiracy theories" as dangerous ideas that "demolish trust between government and communities". He later claims that conspiracy theories spread, "lies, distrust, bigotry, intolerance and ultimately violence."
The delicious irony about this is that Miller's terms of reference do not fit the "conspiracy theory" mould whatsoever, and yet they characterize precisely the effect that government lies and propaganda, the type that Demos routinely helps transmit, have on society.
For it was government lies about Saddam Hussein's non-existent weapons of mass destruction and his mythical 45 minute strike capability that spread distrust between Tony Blair's Labour government, which was riddled with Demos cronies, and the people of Britain. And it was that same lie that ultimately led to the violence of a million dead Iraqis.
Miller's claim that "conspiracy theories are used to justify acts of violence" is particularly ill-timed in its inaccuracy, given the fact that just two days ago it was a crazed gunman acting on a top-down political doctrine, that of environmentalism and overpopulation, as a motivation for his taking hostages at gunpoint at the Discovery Channel building in Silver Spring, Maryland.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
James Jay Lee wasn't motivated by "conspiracy theories" in his pursuit of violence, he was motivated by the very extremist belief system – eugenics – that so-called "conspiracy theorists" like Alex Jones have been attempting to discredit for years.
Indeed, the only notable individual to cite conspiracy theories as a justification for violence in recent times was radio talk show host Hal Turner – who also happened to be paid by the FBI to do so. Turner conspired with the FBI to spout violent rhetoric in an effort to entrap "conspiracy theorists".
Miller and Demos' obvious intention is to use the pejorative term "conspiracy theory" as a veil behind which to hide the true target of their ideological assault – dissent against government and healthy suspicion of authority.
As one of the respondents to Miller's article points out, "Calling something a "conspiracy theory" is a powerful rhetorical device. It has the immediate effect of shutting down inquiry and debate, and of anathematising the advocate as mentally ill, a danger to civlisation, a social pariah."
This is dangerous, pernicious nonsense, and deeply corrosive of freedom of speech and free inquiry.
What is a "conspiracy theory"? I ask, because those who make it their business to decry such things and anathematise those who propound them, never give us a definition.
So, I will provide a definition which I think fits pretty well. A "conspiracy theory" is an interpretation of a historical event or concatenation of events that the decrier does not like and/or considers ideologically unacceptable.
If someone makes a claim about a historic event that conflicts with "official" or orthodox understandings, the first only only inquiry should be: "Is the claim true?"
But Carl Miller and his friends reject this procedure. To them, any such claims are heresies and cannot be entertained on purely a priori grounds.
Liberals must surely see the extreme dangers in what Carl Miller and his friends are doing.
About a week ago, the UK government admitted that the former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and the RUC colluded with the Roman Catholic Church to protect an IRA murderer, Father John Chesney, in order to obviate embarrassment to the Church. If David Icke had said this, his claim would be dismissed with haughty smugness and anyone taking it seriously would be called feeble-minded or deranged. Yet it happens to be true.
Miller soon dispenses with mental gymnastics and snidey semantics and just settles for outright falsehoods in rubbishing the claim that Demos is a "marxist" front group, despite the fact that the organization was founded by Martin Jacques and Geoff Mulgan, former editors of Marxism Today, which was the theoretical journal of the Communist Party of Great Britain.
In addition, Demos became notorious in the late 1990's as a mouthpiece for the marxist factions within Blair's Labour Party, people like former Home Secretary John Reid, another ex-Communist, who gave a speech at a Demos function in 2006 calling for Britons to Britons "modify their notion of freedom."
Miller scoffs at the apparently ludicrous charge that the Demos report itself was "government-sponsored disinformation," while failing entirely to mention the fact that not only did Demos cosy up to the Blair government at every available opportunity, but they also worked with current Prime Minister David Cameron on their "Progressive Conservatism" project on numerous different occasions.
How can Miller attempt to cast Demos as an independent organization when Cameron is a regular speaker at their events?
Demos is nothing more than a PR firm for the British government, and dutifully serves the agenda whether a liberal or a tory is in office.
Miller is just like the hundreds of other elitist lackeys that hide their disdain for healthy distrust of authority behind the cloak of faux-intellectual reasoning. What he has completely failed to grasp is the fact that the establishment is now so utterly discredited that his call to "confront conspiracy theories" has no audience.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
Just look at the comments below Miller's article. Almost every one demolishes his thinly-veiled assault on free speech for what it is.
The vast majority of people have no interest in 'confronting conspiracy theories' because they are too busy confronting propagandists like Miller and Demos, who continue to spew the most dangerous anti-freedom rhetoric in service of the lying, corrupt and pernicious state for whom they operate.

Young people are bombarded with messages concerning their health. Should they smoke? Use alcohol or illegal drugs? Become sexually active? Young women especially are faced with challenges concerning their bodies and diet, young men by invitations to take risks. That's why health education is a requirement in many K-12 schools.
As a health education major, you'll learn how to teach young people about attitudes, motivation, and practices related to health issues and messages -- and how to guide them through this maze of difficult decisions.
Our faculty teach you to use the "discovery learning" model. Rather than simply telling young people what's right and wrong, you'll learn to encourage them to find their own solutions and to develop their own set of ethics concerning health and wellness.
You'll also participate in experiential learning: our program is designed so that you spend time working with young people during each of your four years. These experiences culminate in your senior year, when you'll student teach for an entire semester. Half of that time you'll spend in an elementary or middle school, the other half in a high school. With a B.S. in health education, you'll be qualified to apply for teacher certification and to teach in both public and private schools.

Gutierrez given ten-place penalty for unsafe release
Esteban Gutierrez has been given a ten-place grid penalty for the British Grand Prix after Sauber released his car from its pit box in an unsafe condition in Austria.
The team struggled to fit the rear-right wheel at his first pit stop, and although he only made it roughly 20 metres down the pit lane with the car in an unsafe condition, the mandatory penalty was applied. Alongside his ten-second stop-go penalty at the Austrian Grand Prix, Gutierrez will start ten places down on wherever he qualifies in two weeks at Silverstone.
Sebastian Vettel did not receive a penalty for the contact he made with Gutierrez on lap 36, which forced the Red Bull to stop for a new front wing. The stewards said it was in line "the new guidelines from the Formula One Commission" that have called for fewer penalties for minor offences.

Venlafaxine With or Without Zolpidem in Treating Hot Flashes and Associated Sleep Disorders in Women With Breast Cancer OR at High Risk for Developing Breast Cancer
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00084669

RATIONALE: Venlafaxine may be effective in relieving hot flashes caused by hormone therapy. Giving venlafaxine with zolpidem (a sleeping pill) may improve sleep and quality of life in women who are receiving hormone therapy for treatment or prevention of breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying giving venlafaxine together with zolpidem to see how well it works compared to venlafaxine alone in relieving hot flashes and associated sleep disorders in women who are receiving hormone therapy to treat or prevent breast cancer.
|Condition or disease
|Breast Cancer Hot Flashes Sleep Disorders
|Drug: venlafaxine Drug: zolpidem tartrate Procedure: management of therapy complications
|Not Applicable
- Compare the effect of venlafaxine or another serotonin-reuptake inhibitor with vs without zolpidem, in terms of sleep continuity, in women with breast cancer or at high risk for developing breast cancer who experience hot flushes and associated sleep disorders.
- Compare quality of life in patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients are stratified by concurrent use of serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SRI).
Stratum 1 (no concurrent SRI): Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral venlafaxine once daily and oral zolpidem once daily for 5 weeks*.
- Arm II: Patients receive oral venlafaxine once daily and oral placebo once daily for 5 weeks*.
Stratum 2 (concurrently on SRI): Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral zolpidem once daily for 5 weeks*.
- Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo once daily for 5 weeks*. NOTE: *After 5 weeks of study treatment, patients in stratum 1 may taper or continue venlafaxine over 2 weeks (for a total duration of venlafaxine use of 7 weeks); patients in arm I of both strata may taper or continue zolpidem over 1 week (for a total duration of zolpidem use of 6 weeks); continuation or tapering of drugs in both arms occurs in an open-label fashion off study.
In both strata, treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
In both strata, hot flushes, sleep continuity, sleep quality, and quality of life are assessed at baseline and at weeks 1, 3, and 6.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 119 patients will be accrued for this study within 20 months.
|Study Type :
|Interventional (Clinical Trial)
|Estimated Enrollment :

Cheap Buzz: The Olive Garden
I have to admit up front that I'm a huge fan of the Garden; I used to eat there about twice a week in high school. Breadsticks, never-ending salad, and spaghetti with meatballs—I loved them. And I loved that every Olive Garden had the same pictures on the walls, and played the same Frank Sinatra songs ("Fly me to the moon...") But nostalgia only goes so far. The food might still be tasty, in that comforting generic-and-heavy way. But their specialty cocktails? That's another story.
Looking at the menu, my hopes dropped. Nothing but fruity and sweet-sounding drinks: Mango Martini, Limoncello Lemonade, Watermelon Martini. I had a bad feeling this would be a sugar-fest. (On the bright side, all of the cocktails were between $6.50 and $8.00.)
The Garden's menu lists the Italian Margarita as Sauza Gold Tequila, Triple Sec, and DiSaronno Amaretto. Basically, it's a regular old margarita with a sweet amaretto shot on the side. It's dominated by orange flavor; if I were branding fast-casual cocktail drinks, I'd dub it an Orange-ita. I could barely taste any booze at all; dumping the amaretto into the glass doesn't make it any better. Drinkability: This one's for those who don't want their booze to taste like booze.
I thought the Watermelon Martini would be the worst drink, but it turned out to be better than I expected, like a liquified Jolly Rancher. I'm not saying that pejoratively—it has the exact flavor composition of a watermelon Jolly Rancher: mildly sweet but tart enough to make your lips pucker a bit. At least, here, there's something to balance the sugar. The alcohol goes down smoothly, but I could tell I was drinking (and not being ripped off by a meager pour). Drinkability: Potable, but pink.
In last place was the Limoncello lemonade—I wanted a drink, I got a frozen lemonade. It's like something you get from a stand on a New Jersey boardwalk. Sticky-sweet. Drinkability: This one tastes like it's safe for a 9-year old. But even a 9-year-old would probably only like it on a really hot day.
Ok, so maybe the menu caters toward those looking more for sweet treats than serious drinks. To test the bartending, I ordered a Manhattan as my last test. The waiter returned a few moments later and asked, "Do you want that with bourbon or brandy?" Not auspicious for the Garden.
But when the cocktail arrived, I was surprised. There was a little extra in the maraschino cherry department, but this drink was no sweeter than any other Manhattan I've had. I was disappointed that I could hardly taste bitters, but the balance of whiskey and sweet vermouth wasn't bad. Drinkability: A little harsh, but at least it approaches the classic.
Hangover Report
These things will leave you with a day-after-Halloween sugar hangover. When it comes down to it, Olive Garden's cocktail menu is more about sweets than spirits. I should have guessed: Olive Garden is owned by the Darden Restaurant Group, just like Red Lobster. The composition of the Garden's drinks is eerily similar to their seafood-serving cousin. If you're at the Olive Garden, stick to the beer and wine (or water.)

2631 N. Sacramento, #2
Chicago, IL 60647 USA
Prairie Dust Films is an independent documentary company founded by Courtney Hermann and Suree Towfighnia in 2002. As Coordinators at The Michael Rabiger Center for Documentary at Columbia College Chicago, the pair fostered a culture and community supportive of the documentary form and its practitioners. Our mission is to make films that present contemporary American issues in an entertaining way. We recognize the diversity within our culture and inspire creative solutions for positive social change. Prairie Dust Films records stories for future generations and documents an alternative record of events. We honor our documentary roots in verite storytelling while understanding that each film merits its own unique particular style.
Our films have been broadcast nationally, screened in festivals and been shown in communities around the world. Prairie Dust Film has received funding from CPB/NAPT, Playboy Foundation, Paul Robeson Fund, POV/American Documentary, Seventh Generation Fund, private foundations and individual donors.
Specializing in media that engages audiences and encourages them towards thoughtful action, Prairie Dust Films' projects work well as part of campaigns. Successful campaigns have centered around the advocacy and legalization of industrial hemp, rights for the elderly and health care reform for rural America, among others.
A big part of our work is mentorship and to that end we collaborate with the Lakota Media Project, an initiative that mentors youth who create stories from their own perspectives (view trailer). Aside from this work, we offer master classes in shooting and storytelling for others interested in crafting their ideas into a documentary.

A Venetian landmark in Crete
Northward of the city of Rethymno, stands an imposing Venetian fortress known as Fortezza, a centuries-old buffer that has protected the city against attacks from the sea, having also been the locals' haven in the event of a siege. Fortezza is Rethymno's landmark and its most important monument, built in the late 16th century in order to reinforce the city's defense. Its dominating position on Paleokastro hill complements that extra charming picture of the city that always seduces visitors.
Exploring the castle leads you to a journey in the past, in the times of the Venetian rule. The visitor enters Fortezza through the magnificent eastern (main) gate and is led, via a gallery, to its interior only to face a fairytale-like locale: bastions with battlements, powder magazines, water cisterns, silos for food storage, all excellently renovated, get the visitor acquainted with Fortezza's defensive nature, setting off the well organised surrounding structure. From Agios Nikolaos' bastion, there is an amazing view of the Venetian harbour as well as of the city of Rethymno.
It is also worth mentioning that Fortezza used to be the administrative as well as the religious centre of Rethymno; in the castle's "square" you can visit Palazzo Pubblico, i.e. the "Rector's" (the Commissioner's) Hall as well as the Councillors' residence where one of Rethymno's two Councillors lived, while the other remained downtown to be able to uphold the order. The bishop's residence is located in the same area as Agios Nikolaos (Áyios Nikólaos) cathedral – turned into a mosque during the Turkish occupation – and the chapel dedicated to Agios Theodoros Trichinas (Áyios Theódoros Trihinás). In the open space, outside the castle lies eastward a pentagonal fort that used to protect Fortezza's central gate during the Turkish domination.
Nowadays it houses the city's Archaeological Museum with great finds on display exclusively from archaeological sites in Rethymno's district.
Visit Fortezza and listen to the past, wander in paths laden with historical recollections and get to know the city's eventful history.

Birmingham's Pram craft fairytales from concrete reality. The second city's spin cycle of perpetual renovation, from the slum clearances to its current cosmetic upgrade, is etched in Pram's restless groove, an endearing and gently refusenik mix encircling early Rough Trade innovators The Raincoats, astro jazz, sci-fi soundtracks, creepy Victoriana, tropical analogue and tumbledown funk. Born of an aesthetic universe where the senses are excited equally by the dust encrusted revolutions of antique lounge LPs as the wild and wonderful facts packing the yellowed pages of musty encyclopaedias, where a nostalgia for the future meets a fascination for a past that never was, Pram are drawn to the fantastic and exotic ends of the ordinary world.
Like the grain and atmosphere of pre-digital animation Pram's music has an otherworldliness that's both comforting and mysterious. Their ability to arrange a diaspora of instruments around Rosie Cuckson's siren voice results in a new kind of fragile handiwork - somewhere between cartography and prospecting for gold down a rickety mine shaft. Their canon conjures evocative locations like the Sargasso Sea, The North Pole Radio Stations, The Museum Of Imaginary Animals, out-of-bounds places to where imagination has been exiled, lying in wait for souls hardy enough to attempt the hazardous expedition. With Pram as your guide, armchair adventuring has never been so mysterious, beguiling or enticing. To say Pram have always ploughed their own furrow is to underestimate the breadth and scale of their music. To listen to this record is to hear a group who have learned to play together whilst teaching each other a new language. The Moving Frontier is Pram at their most widescreen, they've created a mysterious and wonderful landscape that's sky-wide open.

Each day this month, I'll be spotlighting a song that seems particularly appropriate to the season.
Hair-raising scenarios come naturally to hard rock and heavy metal bands, but Blue Oyster Cult's variety of approaches is impressive. "Nosferatu" was a majestic and brooding meditation on the original vampire tale, while the lumbering "Godzilla," with lines like, "Oh no, there goes Tokyo! Go, Go, Godzilla!" was unabashed fun. The band literally struck gold with "Don't Fear The Reaper." The opening guitar riff and progressive arrangement are pure classic rock, but the song spread across genres and became a huge hit. Which is strange, because the lyrics appear to advocate suicide as the ultimate expression of love. "Seasons don't fear the reaper/Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain... we can be like they are." They also promise "We'll be able to fly" and point out, "Romeo and Juliet are together in eternity." Blue Oyster Cult effectively sells these sentiments through a strong melody and intricate harmony vocals. There's even a "La la la la la la" and "Come on, baby." It's almost like The Beach Boys inviting a girl to the sock hop. The last verse describes a despondent woman whose lover has already died. "And it was clear she couldn't go on." The final image is of the reunited couple looking back and saying goodbye to the living. Or is she checking out with the Reaper himself? Somehow, it doesn't seem likely "Don't Fear The Reaper" will be played at many wedding receptions.

Almost every flight has no show passengers. They are those who although have confirmed booking but do not show up for the flight at the last hour. Their numbers vary depending on the route, but there number can be substantial.
As a measure to minimize these "no show passengers" and accommodate as many passengers possible, as per industrial practice Oman Air is also permitted to sell more seats than are available in the aircraft. As a result, there are times when more passengers with confirmed reservations report for the flight than there are seats available and regrettably, Oman Air may have to deny boarding to some of its valuable customers.
On such a situation Oman Air will render the following services for the affected passengers:
- Arrange for seat on the next available flight on Oman Air; or reroute to any other airline, as per passenger preference.
- 3 minutes telephone call to allow you to keep your family/business informed.
- If the next flight is after 6 hours, arrange for transportation/taxi fare for you to return home/hotel or provide hotel accommodation, with meals and transportation on our account.

Is Hollywood finally figuring it out? First Ridley Scott gets behind the Alien prequel and now David Cronenberg himself is remaking his own film, The Fly. While we wish it was something original, you can never have enough Cronenberg.
Risky Business is reporting that Cronenberg is being backed by Fox to direct, and potentially write, a remake of his classic body-horror flick The Fly.
There is no one who does trippy "your body is deceiving you" horror quite like Cronenberg, and we're so glad to have him back. But fair warning Hollywood, replacing Jeff Goldblum will take some doing.

The Government has released a new rail strategy.
Vince Cable, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, said:
"Investment is to be welcomed at a time when the railways are struggling to cope with their greatest passenger numbers in nearly a century, but there is scant detail on the financial figures.
"This government has continually let down passengers, be it the electrification plans that vanished, poor and inconsistent services, or high fares.
Jenny Randerson, Liberal Democrat Transport Spokesperson, added:
"Key questions remain regarding how much metro mayors will be expected to stump up and whether they have the money.
"Brexit means that we have a government completely strapped for cash. Without firm financial commitment these proposals are in danger of going nowhere."
