The northeast has seen their first significant snow of the season and schools everywhere are closing, so to you displaced Cowboys fans, here is something to pass your time while staying inside and avoiding the snowy outdoors. To you locked away in the office or in the peace and quiet of your own home, here is some news for you to take in as well.
Take a look at the list over injuries Dallas suffered during their epic Sunday win over the Indianapolis Colts.
*Wide receiver Dez Bryant underwent successful surgery Monday to repair bone and ligament damage in his broken right fibula. Bryant will be out three to four months.
*Tight end Jason Witten has a sprained right ankle and was walking with a slight limp toward the trainer's room on Monday. Witten said he was sore and should be fine for Sunday night's game vs. the Eagles.
*Linebacker Sean Lee, who suffered a sprained shoulder in the win, played through it with some extra padding under his shoulder pads.
*Linebacker Keith Brooking had his snaps limited at times due to a sprained foot that caused him to wear a shoe that was a size larger than normal. He has a plate inserted in the shoe. Brooking could be limited in practice this week.
*Safety Gerald Sensabaugh has a quad bruise and said he's fine.
*Cornerback Orlando Scandrick suffered a concussion in the game and will have to undergo some baseline tests before getting cleared to play.
*Notes: Running back Marion Barber, who missed Sunday's game with a calf strain, is week-to-week according to interim coach Jason Garrett. … Quarterback Tony Romo is still not ready to start practicing with his broken left collarbone. Romo said he's still in some discomfort.
Obviously, the loss of Dez Bryant leaves a huge hole in the Cowboys offense. When Bryant was healthy and on top of his game, he was the team's biggest playmaker who would always move the chains and reel in highlight catches.
Sensenbaugh and Scandrick will need to get healthy due to the lack of depth Dallas already has in the secondary. Same goes for Keith Brooking and Sean Lee in the linebacking corp.
Marion Barber looks like he will miss another game and that is a blessing in disguise — or maybe just a blessing — because it will give Tashard Choice another opportunity to run wild.

RESCUE MISSION: Deborah Howard is seeking local help in preventing cruelty to animals in pet shops and the so-called puppy mills that supply them.
Howard founded the Cohasset-based Companion Animal Protection Society in 1992, and has since taken her fight nationwide. Though the pet-store issue isn't as big in Massachusetts (there are no pet shops in Boston, she said), there are chain pet stores in communities across the area, and she'd like to launch protests there.

Comment by CAPS President Deborah Howard:
"I have long admired your column for addressing human rights issues, especially those of women in third world countries. Please also address the suffering of those animals kept in horrific conditions in thousand of puppy mills in the Midwest, PA and NY (the latter two have mostly Amish mills) in order to produce puppies for pet shop and Internet puppy sales.
The Companion Animal Protection Society, the nonprofit I started more than 20 years ago, has investigated more than 1,000 puppy (and cat) mills, most of them USDA-licensed. Our undercover employment investigation brought down one of the largest and most notorious dog brokers in the country (she had 900 adults dogs and 400 puppies). We were also behind the OIG's scathing report on the USDA's failure to enforce the Animal Welfare Act as it pertains to this industry.
While millions of dog, cats and other companion animals suffer and die in often substandard shelters around the country, uninformed consumers continue to buy, often on impulse, puppies and kittens from pet shops and online. There are 111 pet shops in NYC, Westchester and on Long Island. Meanwhile, the conditions at Animal Care and Control centers in NYC are horrible. Young kittens, often as young as a month or less, are routinely euthanized.
You and your readers can watch our undercover footage, read our investigation reports and learn more about our outreach and ordinance work on our website."

A long time ago," she said, "when I was just starting my training, they were taking us around to various facilities to show us the way various kinds of medical treatment were being implemented for people with different kinds of problems. I was"—she laughed at herself—"a pretty tough cookie, or thought I was. They showed us all frightening things—things that really upset some of the other students—and they didn't bother me. I was kind of proud of that. Then, one day, they took us to a school for people with mental disabilities. Very young children, mostly. Some of them were well enough to ride around on little trikes or say a few words. Some of them weren't that well at all. Most of them weren't. There was a big playroom, and there were children there who simply stood against the wall—one or two who couldn't be stopped from hitting the walls, so the walls, naturally, were soft. And there were a few who just stood, or sat, and looked. Looked out into space, didn't see anything, didn't hear you when you spoke to them. And it just hit me, suddenly, the waste of it all, the sheer waste. Here were children at the beginnings of their lives; they should have had everything to live for. Everything. But a misplaced gene, or a misdiagnosis in utero, or something else—in each of their cases something had gone wrong, something that not even our medicine could do anything about, not all our drugs and treatments and know-how would ever matter. Otherwise they wouldn't have been there. Calling the place a school was a dreadful misnomer, or whistling in the dark, at best. Certainly these children had committed professionals around them, doing everything possible to make them comfortable, giving them affection and good care…but it would never matter. None of it would matter." Crusher kept walking quietly. "And I broke down," she said. "I cried for almost an hour—I just couldn't stop. They had to take me away and calm me down, and for the next couple of days I would just start crying again, without warning, at the memory of that place. All my instructors were worried about me. I couldn't explain to them that it was simply because, in that pretty, sunny building I had seen the most horrible thing in the world. Human beings without the thing that makes them human, without minds. Creatures meant to be thinking beings. What's the line? 'A little less than the angels.' And there would never be anyone inside, no matter what we did.
Dr. Crusher, in Intellivore, by Diane Duane.
This was really hard to write. The pain from this one felt far too intense and personal, largely because I trusted this author not to do this to me. But also because I've heard so many people tell me, or people around me, this story. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry and never stop (for very different reasons), so I just avoided writing this for a long time.
This was written by an author who wrote a series where rocks and air and trains and everything in the world is sentient. I've read pretty much everything she's ever written. And nothing prepared me for this. It was like being punched in the stomach out of nowhere by my best friend. It took me a long time to look up the quote again because it hurt more than any of my other quotes have ever hurt me. I let my guard down and this is what I got.
I want to be able to tell you all the wrong assumptions in there, like assuming that lack of response is lack of sensory input is lack of conventional thinking is lack of thinking is lack of humanity. But every time I have to concentrate on what was said I start to cry. And I'm sure I'm crying much worse than this character ever did.
I want it to be just the character but it's not. Having read all her books I know it's a pattern. This book is the worst. But all the parts, from the huge ones like this to the throwaway lines, hint at her knowledge of cognitive and developmental disabilities being heavily tainted by prejudice.
And I've heard stories like this before many times from medical professionals. And she was a psych nurse so I know at minimum she's heard them at the most — I hope not — she's gotten this out of her own experiences. Something about this feels deeply personal — if not to her then to someone. Nobody can make up this experience in this degree of detail from nowhere. And I've never seen her get any kind of developmental disability right, ever.
Dr. Crusher's speech here is only part of the problem. She made the speech because of a monster of some kind that deletes people's minds, leaving the brain intact but the mind gone. And she connects the two things as if they are the same. There's two things that really bother me about the monster.
One of them is that the monster was created as what it is. As in, there's nothing in the world that can truly do this to a person. The author had to write it that way because it couldn't exist any other way. And yet you're not supposed to notice that while you're reading. You're supposed to accept this as a possible thing at least within the story. And it's not possible, it's an empty fear.
And that fear is the second thing that bothers me. Because this story wouldn't be scary without it(*). And using the fear of cognitive disability to write a scary story offends me. For good reason.
But people have this fear. And to them it is the scariest thing in the world. People base their identities on thought, and on certain kinds of thought. They fear losing it. They project this fear onto anyone they see as having lost it, or never having had it. They want laws passed to make it possibly to kill people seen as lacking minds. They write living wills saying they want to die if they acquire a cognitive disability and then are shocked when, after they wake up in the hospital after brain damage, medical professionals tie them down so they can't get up seeking food or water. (Yes, this happens. And worse.) They write stories about people losing their souls, or minds, either has the same effect.
And now I can stop the impersonal explanations.
People have told me these stories expecting sympathy. Because they know I'm cognitively disabled or because they know I've been in mental institutions. Why they think that gives me more sympathy I haven't a clue.
But worse.
People have reacted to me in this way.
To me in person.
To photographs of me.
To videos of me.
It's not worse for me to hear that because (they think, you think) I really do have the right kind of mind after all. You likely don't know what it's like to have your emotional vulnerability ratcheted up by the absence of concepts and words. When someone reacts to your very existence with terror or rage, it's like it stabs straight through you, and yet you can't necessarily even move in response. It's so much the opposite of "It'd be okay to react this way if you really couldn't understand," or "It's wrong to react this way because you really do understand." Thoughts and ideas can actually create somewhat of a barrier between you and someone else's feelings about you.
But it's worse than just how it feels when people react that way to you. It's that when who you are (including what people imagine someone like you is) is people's worst nightmare, then terrible things happen to you. Again, it doesn't matter whether you "really don't think"(**). All that matters is that they think this of people who look like you. They're not usually going to do the kind of brain scans required to, say, pick up language comprehension in someone considered to be in a PVS, before they start thinking of euthanasia. And if they do pick it up, their thoughts may go to euthanasia faster, because their second-worst nightmare is to be "trapped in a useless body", especially in the horrific living conditions most people in that situation are given in most societies. But they don't think of changing the living conditions, that would make too much sense.
One huge problem with diagnoses like coma and PVS is that they're just like the people in Intellivore: pre-written as having no mental activity, regardless of what's actually going on. When people are later able to report being conscious or semiconscious during such states, it's more often thought of as "You were misdiagnosed" rather than rethinking what it means to define a person's ability to think based on their responsiveness. (And yes I personally know people who were conscious during both.) And of course once you're defined as unable to think, people don't see your responsiveness as meaningful anymore — it doesn't matter if your diagnosis is coma, autism, PVS, profound intellectual disability, severe catatonia, or dementia. Once that point is reached it's a vicious cycle.
And even if you have something considered milder than a total lack of thought, people can still treat it as virtually identical. I have known people who literally believe it's impossible to communicate with someone with an average IQ let alone a low one(***). Or that even if they could, there'd be nothing to talk about. What the fuck, people? But views like that are not uncommon, especially among people who have never (knowingly) bothered to try. And there are plenty of people, even people classified as such trying to escape such classification, who associate "retarded" (that's inevitably their wording) with "having no mind". The same goes for just about anything else that affects cognition: Some people will see even people mildly affected as nonpersons, and some will see them as… semi-persons? So the danger isn't gone once you can talk and do various other things.
Anyway, I've rambled enough. I cannot emphasize how awful hearing these stories feels. Whether they come from a Star Trek character or a real live person. They're always pretty close to identical, and they always project people's terror of nothingness, onto real live people who pay the consequences. I have to pay the consequences all the time, so I just can't get into people's pain over my existence.
(*) In fact, it wasn't scary to me. Or… it was scary but not because of that. I was afraid the Enterprise crew would "mercy kill" the "people without minds". I was afraid of the prejudices conveyed. But aside from that the story was almost laughable, because I lack the fear it is based on. A lot of people think its not her best writing. But unfortunately not for that reason.
(**) Don't get me started on the many definitions of thought, and the prejudices many human beings have against the kind of thought and learning that takes place in the deeper areas of the brain. Which is somehow inferior. Even though it's actually a lot of where thought and learning can take place. People are so quick to think that a certain kind of abstract thought is all that matters.
(***) People who say this to me generally don't know my IQ. As of ten years ago, it was in a range that's now considered borderline and long in the past would be considered intellectually disabled. The tester was stunned how high it was, and said so. Which told me a lot when I finally ordered my results years later. On another day, in other circumstances, it could have gone much lower.
The slipperiness of my cognition is one of many reasons I don't believe in IQ as a fixed measurement, let alone anything meaningful in the first place. It horrifies me that a test score on one particular day of your life can determine things like… Whether you go to a bunch of classes that give you enriched learning opportunities all students should have while teaching you you're better and more deserving than other students, or whether you go to classes where you learn nothing while others learn to treat you as barely human. I'm one of a handful of people I know who's at varying times in my life been put into both of those educational extremes. From gifted programs, to being sat on a chair and tilted backwards so I wouldn't fall over and drool, while others in the same room got more instruction but not that much more. And I think that gives me a fairly unique perspective on these things.
I want them all abolished, both ends of things (neither could exist without the other), and something new and useful created instead. Like people learning from each other instead of being ranked against each other. Like the enriched learning experiences I was given in my nine years classified as gifted, being available to everyone: I don't see what IQ should have to do with getting to attend small seminars where someone teaches you about their job or an interesting skill. And, of course, I want the end of all IQ testing ever, and all the disablist racist classist bullshit associated with it. But I doubt enough people will listen.
When a condition:
* Incorporates lack of consciousness into its definition
* Measures lack of consciousness by physical responsiveness
And then.
It's found that some people, diagnosed the exact same way as everyone else, show that they are conscious while diagnosed with this condition. This may happen by brain scan (showing movement areas of the brain changing when asked to move, or things like that), the person after "waking up" recounting things that happened while "unconscious", lots of other things.
And then.
Instead of admitting these states don't truly have to mean unconsciousness.
Professionals respond by retroactively undiagnosing such people, and continuing to treat all others with the condition as unconscious. With serious consequences (like death) for those so diagnosed.
For instance: coma, persistent vegetative state. Lesser examples (where people are generally regarded as conscious but not as conscious as other people — and still may defined as nonpersons by certain icky philosophers) can occur with diagnoses like autism (or "severe" autism) or severe/profound intellectual disability.
When considering making contact with people who have multiple disabilities — those who are considered to be so significantly mentally disabled that they are in a "vegetative" (that's what it's called) state — there is a huge obstacle. Prejudice. Yours. Mine. Ours. Against them. The difficulty here is that prejudice will feel like pity. You may be overwhelmed by a sense of hopelessness first, and then, if you examine the feeling long enough, terror.
They can't be "like us" because then the logical extension of that is that they must be "feeling in there" and what they are feeling in there is what we'd be feeling in there — desperation, hopelessness, isolation, loneliness. The misuse of your sense of identification with the person inside that body will lead you to think horrible thoughts.
Dangerous even.
"I'd rather be dead than be like that."
"If I was like that I'd like to be smothered."
Well, back off. This isn't about you. Catching a first glimpse of a soul inside a body that is so different from your own can be frightening, true. But it can, if you work hard enough, be exhilarating. I know, I know, I know, you have to "walk a mile in their moccasins." The temptation is to engage in an incredible waste of time and psychological energy — spending time imagining what it would be like to be you inside them. How egocentric is that?
The issue is coming to understand and to get to know what it's like to be them, in them. That's the joy of contact, of connection. It allows us other perspectives. The placing of ourselves inside someone else and then imagining what it would be like, is not learning — it's like masturbation but without the stickiness. And while it's fun, and it is fun, it's not particularly valuable.
And it gets in the way.
How can you make contact with someone when all you see reflected in their eyes is your sad face? Get out of the way. Understand that you are you. You are only you. Now look again, look past your own reflection and what do you see?
The answer?
Some one else.
Cool, huh? Even cooler is to discover who that person is. To do this you need to step by prejudice. Please, please, please, don't delude yourself into thinking that you don't harbour anti-disability sentiments inside your heart. Please don't say, "but my child…" "but my best friend is…" or even "but I'm…" We everyone of us is prejudiced against those who are different. Awareness is the first step.
Documenting some of the worst of disability prejudice -- the idea that some of us are "empty shells" -- and the reality behind that illusion.

If you do not already have a place to stay in Grand Forks it may be difficult because the State Swimming & Diving meet is also there this weekend. Plus UND finishes off the men's hockey regular season at home on Friday and Saturday.
UND is also the gathering spot for the best swimmers & divers. All of the heavy training is over, and now it's time to mentally prepare for the biggest meet of the year.
"One thing that I really like for them to do is just prepare the team because without that team that individual can't be competing at that state meet. So, what they do is I have my captain's and my seniors get everybody ready and that helps them in their individual races also," says head coach Alex Lucy.
"I just think about previous meets and I've gone there before," says senior Alex Teunissen. "I know it is my last one. It kind of makes me sad, but I've done it before and I'm just getting really excited mostly."
Austin won the 200 and 500 freestyle at the West Region meet. Century is the defending team state champion.

Level of travel between the UAE and Switzerland expected to rise
As a result of high level meetings between Swiss tourism officials and travel trade management during a recent Switzerland Tourism roadshow, levels of travel between the UAE and Switzerland are expected to rise substantially this summer.
According to Federico Sommaruga, director of Switzerland Tourism for the GCC, India and Russia, the keen interest in the Swiss tourism product displayed by UAE travel agency representatives reinforced the early indications that Europe would revive as a summer destination for GCC travellers this year.
"We have been aware that many travellers were heading east rather than west over the past three years, but discussions with our travel industry counterparts during the roadshow have emphasised the desire for a change this year … and we aim to capitalise on this trend."

The tutorials here are created by Natalie unless otherwise stated, please feel free to contact me via the following contact form if you have something that you would like to add, or if you would like to use this content elsewhere. They are created from scratch (using images from my own digital camera rather than stock images) written in layman's terms and are based on the knowledge that I have accumulated using Photoshop for a number of years. I have attempted to use the simplest teaching techniques that I can come up with - especially since some of my friends are keen on learning. I do not believe in poaching tutorials from other sites as there are many out there. Please note that if you are not using Photoshop CS your screen is likely to look a bit different to my screen shots. The philosophy and the technique is still the same.
I do not profess to be an expert and I believe that there is so much to learn and many methods to accomplish the same things in Photoshop. There isn't a right way or wrong way to do things, it is an amazing diverse programme. Everything that I do is a learning curve and experimental and I welcome the contributions of anyone else willing to share their personal knowledge with the designernetwork members as well. I would love to learn anything that anyone has to share - there is every likelihood that I wouldn't know how to do it myself.
Thank you.

Hello! Thank you so much for beeing chosen to trial these lovely products! It was very enjoable to be part of this tria
The ointment is wonderful against rash i use it every time i change nappies and it works for me well.
The body wash is perfect for washing my baby and me as well.
The lotion is great to use it during a day to soften my sensitive skin. It is very needed lotion because i have to wash my hands a lot before and after change nappies.
At the end would like to say these products have a really enjoable smell .
Thank you so much once again!!!
I was so excited about being chosen for this trial. I love aden + anais wraps they are my absolute favourite. These products are gorgeous. I am using the lotion on my 12 week old baby and it makes his skin so soft and even better smelling than that newborn baby smell (if that is possible) even my husband commented on how good he smelt. My 2.5 year old daughter has been using the Hair and Body wash and again we love the smell and it makes her hair so soft. I have been using the ointment on lips, nipples, bums and apart from being a bit hard to get out of the tube it is great. I love all these products and would definately recommend them and will give them as gifts and also buy more myself. Thanks Kidspot and Aden + Anais another great product
The smell was the first thing I noticed about these products; they were just beautiful. I would absolutely recommend all three of the Aden + Anais mum and bub that we were sent to try; they'd made great gifts for a new bub and Mum as well as every day use.
The ointment has become a favourite (especially with Miss 4, who has decided that it is just what every bump, scratch and graze needs. It's has also been lovely on dry lips, wind-burned cheeks and bub's saw bottom. It was initially quite difficult to get out of the tube, so much so that I actually checked to make sure that there wasn't some sort of seal or blockage. It could be a bit hard for some one with arthritus to use but once I worked out exactly how much pressure was needed, I've had no more trouble.
I tried the Mum + Bub hair and body wash on Miss 4, bub and myself. I was initially a little put off by the fact that it wasn't a rich, foamy, creamy lather but I found that I was very wrong to judge too early. The smell is beautiful and skin is left clean, with out the slippery feel that many other body washes leave. Both of my girls have hair that's only just long enough to put up. When I washed it with the hair and body wash and then dried it, it felt a bit dry and I was concerned that it would end up knotty and frizzy. Once again i was wrong. When their hair was completely dry it was very easy to brush and it was left feeling super-soft.
I've enjoyed using the Mum + Bub Ultra Genle Lotion because it's quite light and it goes quite a long way.
The big bonus with all three of these products has been the long list of chemical sthat they don't include.
Thank you so much for these lovely products.
I have been delighted in trialing my Aden and Anais products. The smell is devine. I have been using the hair and body wash in my kids bath each night, and they all smell lovely. The body lotion I have been using myself and I love the feel of it as well. The soothing ointment I found to be very hard to squeeze out of the tube, but is great on my lips. The packaging is very nioce as well, and would be lovely as a gift for a new mummy.
Thankyou for allowing me to trial these products. they are lovely.
What beautiful products and thank you for introducing my family to the wonderful scent of Sandalwood! I have had a horrible month will a horrific death in the family and it was lovely to receive such nice products to trial in the mail. The Mum + Bub Aden + Anais products sat in our newly finished DYI renovated bathroom and they looked great. They proved very popular with the large amount of guests we have had every day. The Hair and Body Wash was used to wash hands and the Ultra-gentle Lotion as a soothing hand cream for everyone and I only received positive feedback. For the past week my entire family have been using the products and they are just divine. I used the Soothing Ointment to get rid of my 10 month olds remaining cradle cap (smeared over head in the evenings and washed off in the morning) and it has also been great for dry lips and cheeks. The Ultra-Gentle Body Lotion has been wonderful on my post pregnancy belly and also after shaving my legs. The Hair and Body wash is perfect for the children's bath every evening and the scent of Sandalwood is delicious. Hair was easily washed with no tears and screaming and I love that my children are not bathing in chemicals. Since my family started using Mum + Bub Aden +Anais I'm constantly catching myself breathing in the scent of Sandalwood from my 10 months old hair every time she is sitting on my lap and when I cuddle my toddler!! Thank you for such a nice product to trial during such a hard time for my family. Gave me a reason to smile having something nice in the house. Thanks Kidspot and Aden + Anais.
I received my trial products & was absolutley delighted! We have been using them for a week & they are so pleased with the. Bubs smells beautiful & so do i :)
We are using the wash every bath on her hair & body with great results. The lotion is a great consistency & easy to apply.
Bubs also had a rash under her neck so I used the soothing ointment & it diappeared after 2 applications-fantastic!
Thanks for the products (will definatly be buying more after these run out) they smell & work wonderfully.
I received our package earlier in the week and the next day received another package - a baby girl!
I have been using the products on myself as well as a small amount on my new baby since we got home. The body wash and lotion are light and non greasy. They smell lovely. i love the fact that both my baby and i can use the products.
The soothing ointment was a bit difficult to squeeze out of the tube but it worked wonders on my cracked nipples.
The design of the bottles is clear and fresh looking. The pump action bottles make them easy to use when your hands are full with a baby.
i would definitely recommend these products for new mums and they would make a lovely baby shower gift.
Hi our parcel arrived wednesday,was well packaged, and smelt great when we opened it. The first thing we tried was the soothing ointment on our lips, our daughter has been sick so hers where very dry and cracked and my where dry, i found it very difficult to squeeze out, it smelt great not over powering,by bed time there was a huge diferance with our lips, they where nice and soft.next we tried the hair and body wash, i like it that it didnt foam up a great deal but left her hair feeling very clean.when it dryed it was so soft, it also smelt great..the lotion i have also tried on my legs, it soak in well and felt smooth.overall was very impressed with all the products, the smell and packaging.would make a lovely newborn gift, thankyou so much for allowing us to trial this product, i will be buying more when we run out
Just received my products today - SO EXCITED!!! The packaging is great and everything smells lovely. First thing I tried was the Ultra-Gentle lotion (loved the pump pack!) straight onto my hands which were very dry after our swimming lessons this morning & the day in/day out hand washing. Beautiful lotion, non greasy and absorbed quickly with a lovely and long lasting fragrance. Then popped it onto DD1"s knees which are always a bit ruddy for the days zooming around, now beautiful and soft! Just popped her off to bed and this time out came the soothing ointment for my cracked lips and dry knuckles. It's a little hard to squeeze from the tube, especially for the second helping as this is a little greasy being an ointment. Worth the effort though, my lips are feeling so soft and smooth and my knuckles are soothed. Next to try tomorrow is the hair and body wash after her day at day-care!
I received my products and used the hair and body wash on my three daughters at bathtime. It has a lovely scent, and although the lather isn't foamy, it cleanses well and didn't dry out their skin.
I used the lotion on them after the bath. The lotion is lovely, not too thick or thin, just a lovely consistency and absorbed easily into their skin. I tried some on my hands and was impressed with how soft it left my skin (I have been doing lots of hand washing lately as I am potty training my youngest), so this made my hands feel the best they have in a while!
I also used the soothing balm on myself, on my lips. I have had dry lips lately due to the cold, windy weather, and this really soothed instantly! I was so impressed with it. I applied it again before bed and when I woke up the next morning, there was a big improvement in the condition of my lips. I will definitely be using this in future for cuts, scrapes, chapped lips and more.
All products only needed to be used sparingly to show results, so they are excellent value for money. Thankyou for the opportunity to trial; they are lovely.

Luanda, Angola, May 17, 2006 – The disastrous state of the water supply and sanitation infrastructure in Luanda and other large cities is the principal reason for the rapid spread of cholera in Angola. As of May 14, more than 34,000 people have fallen ill with cholera (17,500 in Luanda alone) and over 1,200 have died. Though the Angolan authorities have taken some initiatives to limit the spread of the disease, the international humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) calls for a dramatically stepped up emergency intervention by the Government of Angola and international agencies.More >

Nothing on SURVIVOR has hit such a strange nerve in me than this man child and his inability to admit defeat, learn from his mistakes, and conduct himself with the slightest amount of dignity.
Hey Russell.....look up the term "sore loser" and you will see your own picture. Except now, the picture has you wearing your own hat that Sandra burned. (props to Sandra) The was classic as he was served a bit of his own medicine. That smarts, doesn't it Russell?
So, once again he makes it to the end of a season and proves that he has zero clue how to succeed in this game. He does not lose because of "bitter juries" or because the "game is flawed." Anyone who truly believes that probably also believes that WWE Wrestling is real and that the refrigerator light never goes off.
But he has fans that follow him blindly even after their "leader" admits during Final Tribal Council AND during the Live Reunion Show that he only plays to get TO the end...but he doesn't care about the Jury aspect.
Hello again, Hantz - The ENTIRE goal of the game is to get the most votes at the end. Period. That's it. There is no other goal in the game of SURVIVOR. His admission that he doesn't think the Jury is a valuable part of it just proves how clueless he is in how to craft strategic thinking into a winning gameplan.
And Russell fans.....if he was your coach on any given team and told you that he wants you all to play hard and do whatever it takes to get TO THE END.....but then admits that he thinks that the end of the game is the 3rd quarter instead of the 4th (i.e. day 38 instead of 39)...and that all the things that happen in the 4th quarter are stupid and don't matter......what would you think of your almighty coach? Would you STILL follow this guy and think he was the greatest thing since sliced bread?
Day 39 is when it is all put to the test. Everything you have done on every single day is evaluated and scrutinized and the relationships you have or haven't made, the way you played, the manner in which you conducted yourself....it is ALL examined with a fine toothed comb by a Jury that you have helped vote out.
If you vote them out in a manner that makes them hate your guts and not be able to put a pen to parchment and spell your name when it really counts....then QUIT WHINING TO THE WORLD WHEN YOU LOSE EVERY TIME.
Probst even tried to explain to him why he didn't win and he wouldn't listen. It's almost like his goal was to make each player hate him. Danielle, Rupert, Jerri, Coach, Courtney, J.T., Colby, Amanda, Candice. How on earth did he think he was going to get a majority of those votes....let alone even ONE?
I actually find it rather fitting that he did not even get one person's vote. Even Danielle tried to tell him DURING Final Tribal Council what he was doing wrong and that he wouldn't get any votes. The man is as blind as they come. He thinks you should play full tilt, make tons of enemies along the way, and then be graciously handed the win on a silver platter, even though not one single person can stomach the idea of casting a winner's vote for you. THE JURY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE ENTIRE GAME!!!
And him proclaiming that the audience should get to determine the winner......that takes away the entire structure and design of the game itself. I won't even dignify that with a reply other than to say that it is ludicrous and laughable.
He has even changed the way people view the show. So many people are being "blindsided" by the way the show is presented. They are starting to confuse "Good TV" with "Good Strategy." They are not the same thing.
Russell is good TV. I will give him that. He is like a train wreck you can't take your eyes off of. You know he is going to be destroyed. You know it's going to be ugly. But you can't turn it off.
So what if he finds idols and says villainous little "soundbytes" and gets like 80% of all the screentime. That means nothing. That just means he's interesting to watch. That's why Russell fans gave Natalie such a hard time for winning Samoa....because her gameplay wasn't "interesting" enough to get a lot of airtime. You can't blame CBS for following Russell like a hawk as he tries to find idols and socks to burn. They knew he saved an otherwise lackluster season last time.
I've enjoyed this "Heroes vs. Villains" season. But I'm amazed how anyone can think that Sandra did nothing to get to the end. She was one of the smartest players out there this time. I see no logical way that anyone can argue with that. Unless they are still under Russell's spell.
And I wouldn't have minded if Parvati won either. But it's just poetic justice that Russell ended up at the end with TWO previous winners and he gets shut out.
Tom Westman said it best at the Finale: "Whoever wins each seasons deserves to win."
Russell fans can be as bitter as spiteful as they want. The man lost. He is a poor player and a poor sport. I don't see how anyone could listen to the things Russell said on this Reunion Show and STILL think that he hung the moon. He basically spent the entire finale (inadvertently) making a case for why he cannot and should not ever win. He didn't even realize he was doing it. But he explained exactly why he does not understand the structure of SURVIVOR and what it takes to win such an intricate, complex, and clever psychological game.

I haven't heard of anyone else having issues with this plugin. Can you give me more details on what is going on? Did you get an error message? Any additional details you have would be helpful.

This probably isn't related to the plugin itself. Since the plugin uses the Twitter API, sometimes when they're doing some work on it, it will go down for a little bit. Typically it's back up in about 24 hours or so.
Give it a little bit and then if you continue to have issues, just let us know.

It has now happened on my site - http://www.cshcomputerservices.com - it just shows my Twitter name but no tweet.
I've checked the plugin page and settings - no apparent issues or error messages as far as I can see.
This really is a good plugin and I hope that this can be resolved.....
Posted 16 October 2012 - 03:13 AM
Please cancel the above, as the tweet is now showing. I guess it was a Twitter issue that is now resolved.

"Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens, Bright Copper Kettles and Warm Woolen Mittens, Brown Paper Packages tied up with strings, These are a few of my Favorite Things
When the Bee Stings, When the dog barks when I am feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things and then I dont feel so bad.
The last few days have been ditfficult. I have somehow left knowing that I may not have the chance to reach the closure I would like. My father has been ailing and I think at this point has just reached rock bottom. It has been especially difficult to try and absorb the enormity of things and stay strong.
Returning from India, I think the shock of things hit me, I was very ill for the past few days, literally dragging myself out of bed to talk briefly to the kids. My son had really gotten anxious since he had missed me. I have remained somewhat shell shocked, much like how one might ball up one's fist to avoid connecting. The drama of Irene and things forced me to try to focus. I have also been physically feeling better since yesterday. I have wanted to write about Les Hailes – my little comfort zone for a while.
I have just not had any pictures to fit into the the post. It is not because I do not get there often enough, it just is that this place is somewhere I tend to sneak in whenever I need to opt for a work spot or meeting and usually these have not lent themselves to picture taking.
I do actually like this place a lot and felt telling you about it might actually cheer me up. My first time here was almost two decades ago, when I really had no idea who Anthony Bourdain was, but did
recognize good comfort food. I had gone there with a group from work and the place back then was a little too pricey for me, but one bite of their mashed potatoes and I was totally in heaven.
I have been back a couple of times in between, but last summer I re-started my love with the place. There food is bistro food done well.
My thoughts are echoed on this blog, where the author says, "I think of Les Halles as an old friend: it's comfortable, easy to get along with, not too complicated."
They are a french style brasserie and if you stop to listen to the tables around you, you hear enough french to convince you that the place attracts more than its share of french afficianados. The food is comfort food with usually some good fresh tasting flavors. I can recommend almost anything that I have tried, their Duck confit, the roast chicken, lamb sausage which by the way if you like spicy sausage is definitely a must try. The sausage is bursting with flavors of cumin nicely tempered with heat. A simple roast chicken sandwich is not so simple when it is soft moist chicken evocative of generous and very flavorful notes of the tarragon. The side of steak frittes that accompanies every dish will convince you that fries are good for you. Their snails in a garlic sauce is just heavenly and will make you dunk your bread in the sauce to ensure you savor each garlicky drop. I once made a formal lunch companion repeat my behaviour and actually relax through it.
If like me you are a sucker for a deal, this place keeps you hopping, where its discounted wine or unusual summer pre-fixes, there is plenty of fun that can keep you on your toes. It you are looking for a name, the restaurant's claim to fame is none other than Anthony Bourdain. So if you have not checked out the place, please do head over and if you have I think you will agree with me that even without reservations, this place rocks!
Les Halles Park Ave
411 Park Ave South
New York, New York 10016
I hope you will join me on my facebook page to tell me about your eating and cooking adventures.

The Middle KingdomThe year is 2196. The Minister of the Edict - an official responsible for licensing all technology that could lead to Change - has been assassinated, and the great Empire of Ice, Chung Kuo, has finally been shaken after more than a century of brutally-enforced peace. Amid the chaos, the rebels seize the opportunity to affect Change. But the assassination was orchestrated far closer to home, leading them all into dangerous chain of betrayal and deceit that will plunge them all into the world-shattering War of Two Directions.Ice and FireSpring 2201 - Spring 2203. The T'ang who make up the ruling Seven are struggling to maintain stasis and prevent Change as the war is fought within the levels of their great world-spanning city - a war fought with bombs and betrayals, brutal assassinations and sly poisonings. As the pressure mounts, a document is discovered by the Dispertionists that charts the true history of the world, and apparently its not exactly what the Ministry have told them...

There was a hint
To the world of eclipsed means,
Means tied up by ropes prone to blasphemy
So we ignored it.
There is now a mystical
Image of hellish heaven
A heaven whose songs are the wrongs of
Hardened souls.
A closer look reveals
This holy essence of "Mortal Magnetism"
No wonder why we
Seek now, of all times

Police are investigating the vandalism of a New Canaan teen's car as he drove it, police said.
A 17-year-old New Canaan teen was driving north on Park Street when he heard the loud sound of something hitting and shattering the passenger side rear window of his Subaru, said Sgt. Ogrinc.
The teen, who had passengers in his back seat, said that he noted a group of four young teens, all male, running into the woods, said Ogrinc.
The window was worth approximately $200, said Ogrinc.

Matt Cutts, head of Google's search spam team, announced that Google would be implementing changes to its search algorithm to punish people who over-optimised their website content. The announcement was made last week during an SXSW panel in response to a question posed by an attendee. They asked the question whether Google had any plans to combat websites with over-optimised content from being the first in search results.
Cutts encouraged people to optimise their sites through topics, not keyword spamming. Optimising through topics includes:
Excessive keyword optimisation is problematic as it focuses on writing for search engines as opposed to people. This leads to pages with a clear spamming of keywords and content that has not been written with the reader in mind. This approach is something Google discourages and has been constantly evolving its algorithm to account for. Ultimately, good SEO comes down to quality content, not keyword overload. Another tip was shared by Duane Forrester of search engine Bing. He said to embrace social media, stating that if people share your content on social media sites, then it is much easier for search engines to identify your site as having quality content. In the end, the rules surrounding SEO haven't changed. It's still about quality content, social media, and even keywords. You just have to make sure that you're not spamming keywords or over-optimising your website. Always remember it's about the quality and writing for your readers first. If you have any more questions, contact us or share them in the comments below.

When Naomi Campbell falls, nobody should laugh. Has anybody heard from the dude in the checkered shirt? His face will be on a milk carton soon.
Drunk ass Naomi was partying in Capri, Italy last night with her man, Marcus Elias, when she stumbled and hit the ground. I'm not even going to laugh out loud because I know she's watching. I'll lock myself in the bathroom and quietly cackle into a towel. I'm not taking any chances.

Cell migration from the primary tumor to distant organs in the body (metastasis) is the major cause of death in cancer patients. Our major research objective is to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that regulate this process using cellular and animal model systems combined with high resolution microscopy and molecular biology.
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), have come up with an unlikely yet extremely promising ally to fight Inflammatory breast cancer using a transparent zebrafish suitable for xenografts.

New Year, Same Problems—The People Before Profit film/lecture series at the Peace & Justice Center (202 Harvard SE) kicks off 2004 with Bush Family Fortunes. This English documentary trails the Bush family, from the Florida election fraud to the Saudi connection. It's based on Greg Palast's hard-hitting investigative reports for the BBC and the UK's Guardian and on his bestselling book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. The screening will begin at 7 p.m. Entrance is free, but seating is limited.
It's Friday night and you're craving a movie. Cruising the aisles of Hastings, all you're able to turn up is row after row of Catwoman DVDs. Kurly Tlapoyawa feels your pain.
While movies about the art of moviemaking are fairly common (just look at this year's The Aviator), movies about the art of watching movies are fairly rare. Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso is pretty much the capstone of this largely untenanted genre. A nostalgic portrait of growing up in a movie theater and loving cinema in its purest form, Cinema Paradiso examines what it's like to be a viewer, a passive participant captured by the flickering magic of a movie projector.
February is an amazing month, television-wise. First of all, it's Sweeps, which means the networks will be straining their budgets to shoehorn big celebrity guest stars into each and every sitcom. Secondly, February now boasts the two biggest TV viewing days of the entire year. Later this month, we get the Oscars, and this very weekend, the worlds of sports and television come together to deliver nothing less than the Super Bowl.
