Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in England. In 2008 there were 39,681 new cases diagnosed, an increase of 1,633 cases compared to 2007 (4 per cent). There were 124 new cases of breast cancer per 100,000 women compared to 120 cases per 100,000 women in the previous year. Breast cancer accounted for 31% of all cancers in women in 2008.
Just over 10,000 women died from breast cancer in England in 2008, a rate of 26 deaths per 100,000 women. It is the second most common cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.
Age is one of the known risk factors for developing breast cancer. Four out of every five new cases are diagnosed in women aged 50 and over, with cases peaking in the 60 to 64 age group (14 per cent of all new cases).
The breast screening programme was introduced in 1988 with the aim of reducing the number of women dying from breast cancer. Some 5.1 million women aged 53-70 were eligible for breast cancer screening in 2007-08. Of these, 3.9 million (76 per cent) were screened.1
In 2008, 7,670 women were diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 50 and would therefore not have been eligible for screening.
Earlier detection and improved treatment for breast cancer have meant that survival rates have risen. Although incidence rates for breast cancer increased by more than 85 per cent between 1971 and 2008, mortality rates have fallen by 33 per cent since 1971. Survival from breast cancer is higher than that for cervical cancer and much higher than that of other major cancers in women - lung, colorectal and ovarian.
Breast cancer has the second highest five-year survival rate for women aged 15-99 years, in England, after melanoma skin cancer. Five-year survival was 83 per cent for women in England diagnosed in 2003-07 and followed up to the end of 2008. This compares with 82 per cent for women diagnosed in 2001-06 and followed up to the end of 2007.

Female breast cancer is coded to 174 in the International Classification of Diseases Eighth and Ninth Revisions (ICD-8 & 9) and C50 in the Tenth Revision (ICD-10).
All rates are directly age-standardised using the European standard population.
The five-year relative survival rates are for adults (ages 15-99) and have been age standardised to control for changes in the age profile of cancer patients over time. This enables figures for different time periods to be compared.
Figures presented for years prior to 2008 are based on rates reported in the most recent Annual Reference Volume (Cancer Statistics - Registrations, England 2007, Series MB1 no 38) and represent registrations received at ONS by September 2009. Figures for 2008 are based on registrations at ONS received by September 2010 and are currently reported in the First Release (Cancer Registrations in England 2008.)

These past few weeks have been kind of crazy… no seriously. I've been offered great opportunities… opportinities to which one cannot say no. However there are only 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week and I happen to enjoy sleeping a lot. Therefore I've decided to not update my tumblr for awhile. But I'll be back…

But it's time to move on. I started this blog so I'd have somewhere to post my work in progress but then I discovered this wonderful world of tumblr and started reblogging like a mad woman. So yes, I'll start focusing on my photography again but no, my reblogging days are NOT over. I'l just restrain myself and reblog a selection of the wonderful things that pop up on my dash on saturdays - 'cause that's my official day off.

LONDON — Britain's most senior Roman Catholic cleric, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, has been accused of committing ''inappropriate acts'' in his relations with three priests and one former priest, the Observer newspaper reported Sunday. The accusations, which date to the 1980s, have been forwarded to the Vatican.
The newspaper said that the four men had made their complaints to the pope's diplomatic representative in Britain, Archbishop Antonio Mennini, and that the complaints had reached Mennini in the week before Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation on Feb. 11.

The wait is over. The Hanwell is officially available for purchase online and in stores. The first hi-fi home audio product to bear the Marshall name, the Hanwell Anniversary Edition is one carefully crafted machine that's been designed to deliver that trademark Marshall tone. Hailing from a line of 50th anniversary products, each Hanwell comes with its own numbered commemorative badge. So get yours while supplies last – and they won't last forever.
Please note that the Hanwell Anniversary Edition is only available in the following countries: US, Canada, Japan, EU, Norway and Switzerland.
The Hanwell embodies Marshall's legacy of loud. Hailing from a line of 50th anniversary products, the Hanwell moves Marshall's heritage of big stage performance out of the arena and into your personal space.
Delivering a sound that resonates with the presence and power of live music, the Hanwell is a carefully crafted machine, designed to attain that trademark Marshall tone.

The Hanwell is housed in a wooden cabinet, clad in black vinyl and features an analog power switch and controls for volume, bass and treble. The fret cloth and gold logo on the front is borrowed from vintage Marshall amplifiers, and the body is outlined with gold piping for a celebratory effect. As a tribute to Marshall's 50-year legacy, each Hanwell is branded with a numbered anniversary edition commemorative badge.

Long-term unemployment rate remains high in 2010
November 17, 2010
Approximately 1 in 25 persons who were in the labor force in October 2010 had been unemployed for 27 weeks or more.
Workers who were long-term unemployed (27 weeks or more) accounted for 4.4 percent of the labor force in May and June 2010, a high for this series; the previous high was 2.6 percent, in 1983.
The recession that began in December 2007 led to the highest unemployment rates in almost three decades, along with record-breaking rates of long-term unemployment. Almost 3 years after the onset of the recession, the unemployment rate remains high, at 9.6 percent, with the long-term unemployed accounting for 41.8 percent of the unemployed.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. To learn more, see "The composition of the unemployed and long-term unemployed in tough labor markets" (PDF) in the October issue of Monthly Labor Review. The labor force includes all persons classified as employed or unemployed.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Editor's Desk, Long-term unemployment rate remains high in 2010 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2010/ted_20101117.htm (visited September 23, 2014).

It happened during the 1986 World Cup™ Quarter-Finals in Mexico City, Argentina v. England. He scored a phenomenal goal; later, he would claim that he had a little help from "La Mano de Dios." But then, he received the ball again, in his own half. He passed one English player. Dos. Tres. He danced a mambo down the field, la pelota as his partner. Quattro. Cinque.
Six. GOAL.
This goal was later voted 'The Goal of the Century.' Argentina went on to win the World Cup™ and Maradona was awarded the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player. He had almost single-handedly won the title, contributing 5 goals and 5 assists. He had played every minute of every game - and he had played them in PUMA boots.
Maradona played nearly his entire career in PUMA, from Argentina to Italy and everywhere in between. And so, this PUMA King Diego Finale Collection commemorates PUMA's successful relationship with the man and the legend, and salutes him on his 50th birthday on October 30, 2010.

Spot strength and avoid big losers
In a year that saw stunning underperformance by some big-name stocks, one indicator proved most useful.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
No matter what happens in the last few days, this trading year has been an especially rough one for stock investors. While the S&P 500 is still down for the year, the Dow Industrials are actually up almost 5% (at time of writing).
So how could investors have known to be in the SPDR Diamond Trust (DIA), which tracks the Dow, instead of the Spyder Trust (SPY), which tracks the S&P 500?
In addition, buying the big U.S. or foreign money center banks was also a horrible idea in 2011, with Bank of America (BAC) down 57% so far for the year. But there were some bright spots, including McDonald's (MCD), up 29.7%, or Southern Co. (SO), which was up 13.7% in the last half of the year, not including dividends (SO yields 4.1%).
There was one indicator that could have helped investors to avoid the losers and spot the winners: the relative performance, or RS analysis. These examples will show why.
The Select Sector SPDR - Financial (XLF) is down just over 19% so far this year, as it peaked at $17.20 in the middle of February.
- XLF closed below the weekly uptrend, line a, in early June, which was a negative sign
- The weekly RS line started forming lower lows in 2010, and another new short-term downtrend began in early March (line 1)
- The RS shows a long-term downtrend (line b), and for the most part, it has stayed below its declining weighted moving average (WMA)
- The RS needs to move above resistance at line c to suggest it is bottoming
Goldman Sachs (GS) has fared even worse this year, as it is down 45.7% after peaking in January at $175.34. It was selected in May as one of "The 4 Worst Bank Stocks."
- GS had a low at $84.20 recently and has come close to testing the lows this week
- The weekly chart shows that its uptrend, line d, was violated in the middle of April
- The RS line broke support, line e, on January 22 (line 2) and has since been in a well-established downtrend. It has stayed below its weighted moving average
- Though the chart is trying to form a double-bottom formation, this is not supported by the RS analysis
- GS needs to move above the prior weekly high at $118 to signal a new uptrend has begun
McDonald's (MCD) has been a favorite since April and has accelerated to the upside over the past few weeks, coming close to the weekly Starc+ band at $101.50.
- MCD broke out of a flag formation (lines a and b) in early April, suggesting that its uptrend had resumed
- The daily RS analysis bottomed out during the spring, lines d and e, and completed the bottom in May when the long-term downtrend, line c, was overcome
- RS is still in a strong uptrend
- There is minor support now at $97 with stronger support in the $95 area
Southern Company (SO) hit a low of $42.11 in November and just closed at $45.86. The stock was hit very hard during the August panic selling, which in hindsight was a great buying opportunity. The strong action of the RS analysis at the time indicated it was still outperforming the overall market.
- The strong daily resistance at $40.87 (line g) was overcome on August 23 and SO has not looked back since
- The daily RS line completed its bottom formation on May 11 when the resistance at line h was overcome
- The breakout level was tested in July before the RS line again turned higher
- The RS line is still in a strong uptrend, line i, but has not yet surpassed the early-October highs
- There is good support now in the $44 area
What It Means: In many of this year's Charts in Play articles, I have shown how the RS analysis can help identify the winners and losers. By combining it with the on-balance volume (OBV), traders and investors can get further confirmation.
How to Profit: Next time you are looking to buy a stock or ETF, see how it is performing against the S&P 500 by running similar analysis on many free Web sites. Option traders can also use the RS analysis in their directional option strategies.
This will be last Charts in Play feature until Dec. 27 — happy holidays!

A Milton couple has been accused of the unthinkable. Police said parents Shaun Jewell and Altair Murphy Hubbard killed their own child by neglecting her. The two have been charged with felony murder and cruelty to children.
Milton Police Department Captain Shawn McCarty said paramedics and police responded to the home in October because the couple's daughter was having trouble breathing. She later died at the hospital. Charges were filed after a lengthy investigation.
Fulton County medical examiners said the autopsy showed dehydration, failure to thrive and a weight of only 15.2 pounds - well below a healthy weight for a 1-year-old.

BALTIMORE — The man who escaped from a state prison van on his way to Baltimore Circuit Court on Tuesday didn't have a very difficult time of it.
The corrections officer driving the van told a judge yesterday that she didn't normally transport prisoners to court but had missed a morning drop-off in Jessup with other officers who were supposed to take him to Baltimore.

Controversial CUP granted following public hearing
Residents weigh in on both sides of dispute
By Craig Moorhead
, Government/Sports Writer
Tuesday, March 27, 2012 7:01 AM
View of the rear Southeast Alley behind the HIS Store and Grass Run Farm.
A conditional use permit (CUP) forwarded by the Spring Grove Planning Commission was the subject of a Spring Grove City Council public hearing on March 20.
The issue was whether to grant Grass Run Farm, located on South Division Avenue, a CUP to temporarily maintain an attached storage unit on their property.
The Planning Commission recommended eight conditions be attached to the CUP.
First, the cold storage container is the only accessory building allowed and a trailer parked closer to Southwest Alley is to be moved within 10 days.
Secondly, Grass Run Farm should sandblast and paint the container to match the building it is attached to within a set number of days.
Third, after a maximum of two years the container will need to be removed, and the zoning administrator will have the authority to revoke the zoning permit for the accessory structure after one year if it no longer meets the conditions and requirements of the zoning permit.
Fourth, architectural screening and sound barriers for the compressors outside the building are to be installed.
Fifth, loading/unloading can only take place during normal business hours with only one truck or semi at the loading dock at one time.
Sixth, the porous surface of the back lot is to be maintained.
Seventh, failure to comply would result in forfeiture of the CUP.
Eighth, the conditions remain in effect for two years and, lastly, if any of the conditions or any part of the CUP "shall be held invalid or void," then the permit would also be void.
"The Planning Commission was not even in existence when this issue originated," councilman and Planning Commission member Robert Vogel told residents. "We had to treat this as if it started in 2012."
The Planning Commission submitted the opinion that the business qualifies as a retail outlet, not a warehouse.
Attorney Dwight Luhman, who said he represented neighboring landowners, HIS Store, opposed to the CUP. He said that was not the case, arguing that Grass Run Farm (GRF) is a warehouse, and a warehouse is not a valid conditional use in the zoning district.
Spring Grove Attorney Joe Hammell agreed with Luhman's assessment of the issue, but not his conclusion that Grass Run Farm is really just a warehouse.
"We're a wholesale meat company," GRF owner Kristine Jepsen said. "We literally sell through the front door."
"It didn't sound like a warehouse," Vogel said. "A hub is essentially the same as a retail outlet."
Resident J.C. Nerstad stated that he has bought meat there for his business.
"This does not eliminate previous enforcement issues," City Administrator Theresa Coleman said. "If it is not used for storage within one year, it needs to be removed."
Neighboring property owners Gary Thomas and Keith Myrah of HIS Store objected to the CUP. They both cited access problems to the back of their Main Street building since GRF has placed the container near the alley.
Myrah also gave a lengthy address to the council, going through the city's zoning ordinance and CUP statutes line by line. Harmful, adverse effects to neighbors and the community are grounds for refusal of a CUP, he noted.
Hammell said that access is a separate issue. However, the original permit to attach the trailer to the building was denied, he added.
That permit, even in the form of a temporary CUP, is still necessary according to the city. Therein lies the rub.
Some residents called the situation for trucks negotiating the narrowed alley "dangerous."
Vogel said the point of the CUP was to get GRF to agree to remove the attached trailer, even if it takes a couple of years.
"We do not want to permit transportation structures to become permanent parts of structures," he said. "If we were starting over, we would not have allowed it. We (the Planning Commission) treated it as pre-existing."
Following public comment from those who wished to speak, the council closed the hearing.
Hammell was asked if removal of the container was legally enforceable within the CUP agreement.
He said that it was.
Council members amended the original CUP conditions from the Planning Commission to allow until May 9 for the container to be painted, at the request of Jepsen. Then the council voted.
The CUP was passed, with one "nay" vote from Mayor Saundra Solum. The mayor didn't state a reason for voting nay.
Councilmember Rachel Storlie was not present.

The City of Durham will release an internal affairs report detailing the police account of how a teenager died while in police custody in November.
City councilors unanimously voted behind closed doors Monday night to make public an internal report on the Jesus Huerta case.
The 17-year-old was arrested on a trespassing charge in the early morning hours of Nov. 19, but was later found dead in the back seat of a police cruiser. Durham Police said Huerta died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The Huerta family does not believe that story, mainly because Huerta was handcuffed from behind when he died. Police have also not said how a gun found its way into Huerta's possession in the first place.
Mayor Bill Bell addressed the issue at the start of Monday night's public council meeting that followed the closed-door session.
"A young man lost his life," Bell said. "Obviously that has had an impact on his family and others in the community, so we don't take that lightly."
Bell said the release of the report was essential to making sure the public can keep good faith in city officials. Members of council were briefed in private over what's in the report, but Bell said the public will have to wait until the written report is released to find out what's in it.
"We're going to release it. It's going to be done this week and we're going to give a lot of consideration to making sure the family sees it just as soon as the public sees it," Bell said.
Even when the report is released, Bell said questions will remain that can only be answered by the State Bureau of Investigation, which is still waiting on findings from the state medical examiner before it presents a final word on what happened.
"We're never going to get all the answers and I wasn't there, so you know we have to depend on what the professionals have to tell us," Bell said.
When reached for comment, an attorney representing the Huerta family said the family would withhold judgement until they see the full internal affairs report for themselves, "in its entirety, without redaction or information withheld."
Last month, two demonstrations against police regarding the department's handling of the Huerta case turned violent. In one protest, officers used tear gas to disperse crowds that had gathered in downtown Durham. Police said some in the crowd threw rocks and bottles at officers.
Police Chief Jose Lopez called the police actions at a later march appropriate.
"We were able to properly address the individuals who came with a negative intent," Lopez said.
But that same day, Huerta's family held a news conference in which they forcefully challenged the action's of the police.
Huerta's sister, Evelin Huerta, had harsh words for Lopez and the Durham Police, saying, "We don't trust Chief Lopez. We don't trust the police at this moment."
"My brother's death is still a mystery," she said then. "Every time Chief Lopez says something, it brings out more questions."

Femme Fetch: Wet n' Wild Lipsticks
I am a true makeup snob and I was extremely skeptical of anything Wet n' Wild minus the solid liquid liner I tried years ago. So I recently gave in and purchased one of the Wet n' Wild Mega Last Matte Lipsticks along with the Silk Finish Lipstick for a grand total $3.26. I must say I was impressed, the matte lipstick has strong color payoff with a decent wear time especially considering the price point.
Is anyone else as femininely fixated on Wet n' Wild as I am?

A Letter of Collaboration is an introductory, general, and non-binding agreement meant to initiate relations with a partner institution. It is essentially a "handshake" agreement to take steps in the future towards a more concrete program. An LoC does not describe detailed collaboration commitments but merely lists areas of potential future collaboration.
As a result of its non-binding nature, no financial obligations should be included in a Letter of Collaboration.
A general LoC may be initiated by the partner institution or by OSU.

Chris Pine
With his glacial blue eyes, sexy stubble and effortless charm, Chris Pine is yet another swoon-worthy Starfleet captain. Before he suited up to reboot Captain James T. Kirk in J.J. Abrams "Star Trek" installments in 2009 and 2013, His first gig technically was on "CHiPs" while he was still in utero . His mom Gwynne Gilford was pregnant when she appeared on the highway patrol drama that starred his father. After earning an English degree from U.C. Berkeley, he studied acting at University of Leeds in England and San Francisco's American Conservatory Theater. Guest spots on "ER" and "CSI: Miami in 2003 as does romancing Anne Hathaway in "The Princess Diaries 2" in 2004 and Lindsay Lohan in 2006's "Just My Luck." The massive box office success of "Star Trek" proved Pine could anchor a film on his own and it opened plenty of doors on screen and stage. Some highlights include "Unstoppable", "This Means War", "Rise OF The Guardians" and "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit." He will next be seen in the highly anticipated "Into The Woods" and "Horrible Bosses 2". So far he has made good on his 2010 threat to Details Magazine to be the next George Clooney, never settling down too long-term with any one woman. He had brief relationships with Audrina Patridge, Olivia Munn and Dominique Piek.

Exchange Technology
Fast Technology Drives BOX's Quick Growth, Says Vice Chair Easley | NYSE Euronext's Data Center Vision Ups Speed Ante | In Exchange Systems Race, Nasdaq OMX Stressing Flexibility
NYSE Euronext's Data Center Vision Ups Speed Ante
May 18, 2009
The data centers NYSE Euronext is building in New Jersey and suburban London were expected to be cutting-edge facilities, but the announcement earlier this month that they will run on a 100 gigabit network raises the ante in the securities industry's never-ending quest for speed.
When the centers go live next year, said Stanley Young, co-global chief information officer of NYSE Euronext and head of its commercial technology business, they will be supported by networking equipment from Linthicum, Md.-based Ciena Corp. and NYSE's Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure (SFTI), which links to all the displayed U.S. equities venues and will soon replace the exchange operator's legacy infrastructure in Europe.
"Users go across the SFTI network, come to the access point and then are managed into the data center across Ciena," Young said. "Then they're in the collocation boxes with access to our markets."
The U.S. facility will have 100,000 square feet of raised floor space--the area devoted to server racks--and the U.K. center will have 70,000. NYSE expects that combined they will execute over a billion transactions a day. "There will be access points in London, Frankfurt and key financial centers around the U.S.," Young said. "Our data centers have been designed at a scale, capacity, performance and power capability to be at the top of low-latency, high-performance trading."
Andy Bach, SVP and global head of telecommunications at NYSE Technologies, noted that NYSE will begin to roll out Ciena products within the next couple of months and light up the data centers in September. "That makes them network-ready," he said, "but there will be quite a bit of outfitting to get it ready for all the servers."
Capacity Threshold
For collocation, the 100G network should make for a competitive offering, but Bach said that there was a capacity issue, regardless of what other vendors provide. "We are consuming more and more 10 gig pipes," he said. "At some point you cross a threshold where it's more viable to install your own fiber and light it up with 100 gig waves."
"We think of our data centers in the same way that an exchange would have thought of its trading floor 100 years ago," said Young. "The data center is not just a place where we put our matching engines. As low-latency, high-frequency traders start to drive our business more and more, we want to offer them substantial collocation capability within those liquidity hubs." That also applies to Europe, where NYSE will put all its cash equities and derivatives engines and dark pool technology in the new facility.
"Typically, firms that employ black boxes want to put their servers as close to the data center as they can get--and the actual matching and the market dissemination platforms in the data center," said Sang Lee, managing partner of Boston-based research firm Aite Group. "Take BATS as an example. They're headquartered in Kansas City, but their data center is in Weehawken, N.J."

At first glance, it looks like a mobile home. But it's actually a remarkable new equipment developed by ASU students, and it's helping expectant mothers halfway around the world.
Odds are you've seen shipping containers just like these. A group of ASU Sun Devils have been hard at work transforming what's inside.
"The sink is actually going to go right here," says Susanna Young.
Susanna Young and three others are making their mark globally. It's a unique idea with a big heart.
"Susanna and I were in Africa summer of 2011 and we were in Kenya and we're in an orphanage where we saw a baby whose mother had died. The mother died during childbirth so to see that and say okay, this is an actual real problem," says Clay Tyler.
"We were just thinking hey why not, we have a cool project, this could go far, so we applied [for a grant] not really knowing too much about business," says Gabrielle Palermo.
They won. The Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative at Arizona State University gave them $10,000 in 2011. Then they reapplied in 2012 and were awarded $10,000 more in funding for G3Box.
It has proved to be, so far, a successful collaboration of sorts.
"It's just amazing to see the amount of support we've received so far and when we started this crowd funding campaign. We thought, we hope people get behind it," says Billy Walters.
They did and have raised nearly $14,000 to fund the maternity mobile clinics, with a couple weeks left to raise nearly $18,000 needed to ship these clinics to Kenya.
The four founders actually started out by working on similar but different projects, and they later decided to merge their projects into one initiative.

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
Don't care change her name lmao
Meh, nope.
Her name meaning (burning one) and the name association with the moon fits the motifs of her character(independent, anarchistic prone to homicidal anger and revenge, werewolf)
In fact TVD should change the character name considering TV elena does NOT fit her own name, lol.
The only vampire shows I'm watching from now on are True Blood and Buffy.
The promo pictures of Bitten annoy me. They remind me of Secret Circle. Poor little blond girl and her perfetly curled hair. Spare me. And naming her Elena (regardlness if thats her name in the book series) seeems a bit like a cheap marketing gimic meant to target TVD audience.
Writers and producers really have no respect for an audience's intelligence. Like JP saying we hate the pregnancy because it means the end of KC. Conveniently forgetting she already found another C to go in the KC. Does she honestly beleive we're stupid enough to think that Klayley is a thing? After all this that hope is so gone lol.
e. Poor little blond girl and her perfetly curled hair.
hey now. Curled hair is the best hair. expecting laura vandervoort to part ways with her fabulous hair is stupid as she retained them in every role so far(not to mention its book-accurate hairstyle).
also lol at comparing to Cassie.
Cassie is a supernatural newbie, who knows nothing. Elena has already went through all of that more than ten years ago. Its less of her being bossed around and more of her bossing around others.
. And naming her Elena (regardlness if thats her name in the book series) seeems a bit like a cheap marketing gimic meant to target TVD audience.Well frankly, the book series came out before the tv show. There might be some inspiration from the original tvd trilogy(but then again even BTVS was inspired by the first TVD trilogy, down to having same leads), but its not exactly a fanbase anymore by that point. The last book was published 17 years ago back then and it was 8 years more after 2009 till the second trilogy started.
The book series was more of a try to get Buffy fanbase(since hey its 2001 and its the hottest thing) and at the same time it tried something new - taking away the introductory phase cheese - you had a relatively snarky woman who is already in the know, has sorted out her life and has a job, coming to town where all the supernatural stuff happens and even love interests are someone she has already met and interacted with before, thus no love at the first sight stuff.
And its quite clear they don't want tvd fanbase considering how the writers of the show are talking about tvd, lol. Its being marketed as bassically Supernatural Horror Sopranoes.
Haven't seen her in that many of things except for Haven, Smallville and V remake and most of roles she gets are bitchy, if a bit vulnerable looney bins(in Haven she played a serial killer who wears its victims skin, in Smallville she played someone completely out of touch with this world and in V - an alien trying to kill her own mother). In Smallville she was decent, in V she was the only reason to even watch that trainwreck.
Big plus for having actual martial experience and being in shape before you go to star in supernatural tv show, unlike certain other people (*cough*N.Dobrev*cough*)

Hello Tumblr fam… It's def been a while!!! Well today I made jar cakes for my brother in Afghanistan 🇺🇸.
I'll fill you guys in on how I did this in case you have a deployed solider 😊
What you'll need…. Box of your soldiers fav cake, 8oz mason jars with lids (I got mine from food depot for $7. They also sell them at Publix.)
Step 1: Boiling the jars and lids (I boiled them for about 20mins)
Step 2: while you're boiling the jars and lids mix the cake according to the directions on the box.
Step 3: Once the jars are heated, use tongs to remove them from the water. Continue to boil the tops.
Step 4: Dry the jars and spray inside with cooking spray.
Step 5: Fill the jars halfway with cake mix. (remember the cake will rise while baking)
Step 6: Place all of the jars on a cookie sheet and bake for 20mins. (of course you should insert a toothpick to make sure it's fully baked)
Step 7: Remove the jars from the oven. (BE SURE NOT TO PLACE THEM ON THE COLD COUNTER! The glass will shatter. )
One by one take the lids out of the boiling water and screw them on to the jarred cake. (I used a dish towel to protect my hands while screwing the tops)
After a few minutes you will hear the jar pop. This means that the cake is sealed.
Step 8: Mail off to your solider… He'll love you more than he already does!! 😊…. Make sure you include a spoon for him to eat with.

(Apologies to Supertramp)
Once again I was messing around with whatever was in the house. I had picked up some more of those "country ribs" of pork, and wanted to braise them as it was quite cold outside, so a warming meal was called for.
So I seasoned the pork (just salt, pepper and a little garlic), seared it, and then added in 1 chopped large onion, 3 medium sprigs of rosemary (just the leaves, roughly chopped), 4 cloves of garlic (all that was left in the house), about 2/3 cup of chicken broth and a 1/2 cup of red wine (the La Prade in my tasting note on the wine board) along with a little more salt and pepper.
I covered the dish and threw the thing in the oven at 300 for about 90 minutes. Mmm...mmm good. Tender, well flavored, and the onions were just yummy. The chicken broth and hte wine combined to make a fairly rich sauce/broth. Good stuff.
I am really going to hate summer this year, as I am really getting into this braising thing.

The irresistible idea of adding blueberries to gingerbread proved excellent in this cake! Of course, how could it not, with the super yummy sauce, containing bits of ginger, then topped with homemade whipped cream?! Still, I must confirm that this cake, also, stands alone very well. It's tasty and not difficult to make, at all.
Gingerbread Cake with Blueberry Sauce
Randy Mayor; Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
The new light shines on flavor, so no need to worry about compromising on desserts. Crystallized ginger deepens the flavor in this moist cake (although it's fine without it).

Clubwomen: The General Federation of Women's Clubs
In 1890, many of the moderate women's clubs around the country came together to form the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC). The GFWC included reform clubs, alumnae clubs, health associations, mother's clubs, and household economics groups. The GFWC developed an extensive hierarchy at the local, state, and national levels. It hosted state, regional, and national conventions. In general, it brought together women's clubs from across the nation to share expertise and undertake coordinated campaigns.
Other groups similar to the GFWC include the National Council of Jewish Women, founded in 1890 by Hanna G. Solomon of Chicago, and the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), also founded in 1890. By 1916, the NACW served as an umbrella organization for 1,000 clubs composed of 50,000 members.

The Wilson County Sesquicentennial Committee invites letters from county residents to be included in a time capsule to be buried Sept. 25, as the county's 150th birthday celebration draws to a close.
Anyone can write a letter for inclusion. Children can write to their future selves, school superintendents and mayors are invited to write to their future counterparts, parents can write to their children, and so on.
Letters written in 1960 and interred with the county's time capsule that year will be opened and read in September. During the ceremony, the old time capsule will be dug up and replaced by a new one, which will remain in the ground for the next 50 years.
"... we are notifying the mayors, councils, commissioners, and superintendents, etc. ... that a letter to their counterparts would be a thought ... or their families, or just anyone they wish to receive or read it," Sesquicentennial Committee member LaJuana Newnam-Leus said.
In addition to letters from area ministers, school and elected officials, and others, items in the Centennial Capsule include centennial memorabilia such as bumper stickers and a program poster; copies of the Floresville Chronicle-Journal Centennial issues; "Wilson County Centennial Notes," and more.
Sesquicentennial Committee members are LaJuana Newnam-Leus, 830-393-2166; Shirley and John Grammer, 830-947-3176; Maurine Liles, 830-393-4959; and Gene Maeckel, 830-484-2536.

It may be set in the 16th century but writer-director Bertrand Tavernier's "romantic thriller" feels refreshingly modern in its treatment of religious intolerance and the oppression of women.
Eponymous aristocrat Marie (Mélanie Thierry) is a beautiful heiress who, despite loving warrior cousin Guise (Gaspard Ulliel), is forced by her father to marry the shy Prince of Montpensier (Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet).
Robustly acted and dynamically photographed; Tavernier is equally adept at directing intimate encounters as choreographing savage battles, conveying the sense of a society tearing itself apart.

TALLAHASSEE -- State lawmakers Monday gave final approval to a proposal aimed at reducing delays in carrying out the death penalty, with supporters saying they want justice for victims' families — but critics warning about executing innocent people.
Sen. Joe Negron, a Stuart Republican who sponsored the measure, said some inmates have been on Death Row for more than 30 years.
"That isn't justice,'' Negron said. "That's a mockery of the court system."
But other lawmakers pointed to scientific advances, such as DNA evidence, that have helped clear some inmates who have been imprisoned for long periods.
"I just think this swiftness does not necessarily equate to fairness,'' said Sen. Arthenia Joyner, D-Tampa.
Senators voted 28-10 on Monday to approve the bill (HB 7083), which passed the House last week. It now goes to Gov. Rick Scott.
The bill focuses, at least in part, on ending delays in what is known as the "post-conviction" legal process, which starts after the Florida Supreme Court upholds death sentences in initial appeals. The post-conviction process can involve appeals about issues such as whether defendants have received ineffective legal representation.
Among other things, the bill seeks to ensure that attorneys have "actual" conflicts of interest before being replaced in death-penalty cases. Replacing attorneys can cause delays.
Also, the bill would take steps to prevent attorneys from representing Death Row inmates if the attorneys have had problems in earlier capital cases. The bill would bar lawyers from working on death-penalty cases for five years if courts have found that they provided deficient representation twice.
As of early March, Florida had 404 inmates on Death Row, with 155 in custody for more than 20 years, according to a House staff analysis. Ten had been on Death Row for more than 35 years.
This month, Florida executed Larry Eugene Mann, who was convicted in 1981 in the abduction and murder of a 10-year girl in Pinellas County.
Senate Criminal and Civil Justice Appropriations Chairman Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, said the bill would not prevent inmates from pursuing legitimate claims of innocence. But he echoed Negron's argument that having some people sitting on Death Row for decades makes a "mockery" of the justice system. "This bill is about closure for victims' families," said Bradley, a former prosecutor.
But a group called Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty said in a news release Monday that 24 wrongfully convicted Death Row prisoners have been exonerated since Florida resumed executions in the 1970s.
"Legislation that speeds executions by limiting appeals will almost certainly lead to the execution of innocent men and women," said Mark Elliott, the group's director.

Modeling Easter Island's Moai in 3D using Geomagic software
In 2008, a tourist on Easter Island was charged with damaging a Moai statue – tearing off an ear lobe from one of the towering and scowling volcanic rock statues – an offence that can result in 7 years in prison and some hefty fines. Damage to the historic site is only occasionally caused by humans, but risks of damage from tsunamis and earthquakes is much higher, enough so that in 2007 a team from HafenCity University Hamburg began a 5 year project to digitally catalog the statues. The resulting 3D data would allow the experts to assess damage from all these known threats but also needed to be accurate enough to analyze damage by erosion.
It is illegal at any time to touch these ancient statues erected between 1300-1600 AD, so the Commission of Extra-European Culture of the German Archaeological Institute teamed with experts at HafenCity University Hamburg, bringing in the University's expertise in non-contact laser scanning to handle the project without breaking any laws.
The team, which included Dr. Burkhard Vogt, Professor Thomas P. Kersten, Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Mechelke, and Dipl.-Ing. Maren Lindstaedt , conducted 2 4-week missions in February and March of each year between 2007 - 2011 in cooperation with Chile's Consejo de Monumentos Nacionales, Santiago, and CONAF (Corporación Nacional Forestal). They scanned 11 sites, and a total of 46 moai, processing the raw scan data through 3D Systems' Geomagic Studio software to create highly accurate 3D models.
Each passing year, the same sites were rescanned using carefully placed targets and markers to ensure that the same scanning positions were used. The resulting data were processed and then compared in Geomagic Studio to highlight even the most minute changes that may have resulted to the statues.
While the experts are anticipating that erosion or weather conditions could only make changes by millimeters across a ten-year period, this can only be compared if both reference and comparison data use the same fixed coordinate system.
"While much of the damage done to the moai has been through natural disasters, tales of tsunamis and human damage illustrate that it is absolutely essential to scan the moai for documentation and to have 3D digital copies of the moai on hand," commented Professor Kersten at HafenCity University Hamburg. "While scanning will continue in the next years, the scanning and documentation of all registered 887 moai could take quite a long time. However, image-based recording systems in combination with dense image matching algorithms offer the best low-cost, flexible and efficient solution for rapid 3D documentation of these statues."

Delafield Town Board, citizens agree on fire talks
LCFR talks to continue, but there are alternatives
Town of Delafield - Town residents and officials agreed Tuesday night to continue discussions about fire department consolidation with representatives of Lake County Fire and Rescue (LCFR) even though Town Chairman Paul Kanter described the talks as "a very frustrating endeavor."
Kanter, and Supervisors Larry Krause, Clare Dundon and Cindi Duchow, discussed with eight citizens for nearly an hour whether to continue to pursue consolidation.
The citizens are among several groups of town residents who are closely monitoring the consolidation discussions. More residents were expected to attend the meeting but apparently were been kept away by Tuesday night's near-blizzard conditions.
The Town of Delafield, along with the villages of Hartland and Pewaukee, and the City of Oconomowoc, are exploring joining Lake Country Fire and Rescue, which currently serves the City of Delafield and the villages of Nashotah and Chenequa.
Krause strongly hinted Tuesday night he was prepared to abandon consolidation for several reasons, particularly after a stormy meeting last week among representatives of the six communities.
Kanter acknowledged that LCFR was not likely to change its funding formula, service levels or organizational structure to accommodate the town. In addition, Kanter said he was concerned the town would have no voice in department operations.
But, he added, "It is too early to give up."
"We owe it to the taxpayers to continue the process. We are not ready to throw in the towel, even as frustrating as it has been," he added.
Although the citizens also urged the Town Board to continue the discussions, the elected officials and their constituents agreed there are other consolidation options available if discussions with LCFR fail.
The Village of Hartland, the city and village of Pewaukee, and the Wales-Genesee Fire Department were mentioned as potential partners in alternative consolidations or mergers.
LCFR officials have estimated the town should save about $60,000 annually if it consolidated the town fire department into LCFR, according to Krause.
However, Krause added, town residents would pay nearly three times as much for emergency medical services. The town charges about $450 for an ambulance call, while LCFR charges about $1,300 per call, according to Deputy Chief Mark Hoppe.
Town resident Betty Thill said she was "skeptical" of the LCFR savings estimates because LCFR cost estimates did not include hiring additional full- or part-time paramedics to serve the town and Village of Hartland.
LCFR would probably have to hire additional staff to provide the communities with 24/7 paramedic emergency medical service, since Hartland and the Town of Delafield do not have paramedics.
The town's existing emergency medical response system would probably have to be dismantled, according to Hoppe, if Fire Station No. 2 on Highway C and Government Hill Road were closed, an option suggested by LCFR officials.
The system, which relies on emergency medical technicians (EMTs) with advance training to respond from their homes to medical emergencies, depends on an ambulance being stationed at Fire House No. 2.
Town Fire Chief Paul Kozlowski said no one at LCFR consulted him with regarding closing the station until shortly before LCFR released its cost estimates and proposed budget, which included the suggested station closing.
LCFR official have emphasized that the cost and budget estimates are very preliminary and the closing of Station No. 2, along with the Village of Chenequa Fire Station, are being offered as possible options.
Chenequa Village Administrator/Police Chief Bob Douglas said he did not think any Chenequa officials were consulted before LCFR suggested closing the Chenequa Fire Station as an option.
Douglas said local officials might not object to the closing provided that the Village of Hartland Fire Department was consolidated into LCFR. The Hartland Fire Department has provided emergency medical service to the east side of the village in previous years, Douglas noted.

Corporations are viewed as independent taxable entities. Therefore the loss would be reported on the businesss Form 1120 U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return.
While turning a profit is the goal for every business, losses are increasingly common in this economy. In 2008 more than 3,700 publicly traded corporations reported losses, so you are in good company.
Fortunately for you, Congress extended the operating loss carry-back rules. Thus, if your business reported a profit in at least one of the last five years, you can use your 2009 loss to reduce the taxes you paid during more profitable times.
