- Can be ordered from our supplier
A rhinoceros is a powerful beast weighing 3 tons or more and wielding a deadly horn up to five feet long. Ruthlessly slaughtered for centuries, rhinos are suddenly one of conservation's great success stories as populations of white rhinos and black rhinos recover. Even so, rhinos are still at risk: Javan and Sumatran rhinos are close to extinction and the world rhino population is still less than it was just thirty years ago. This book profiles the people and the organisations around the world who are helping rhinos to survive, and surveys the biological issues in and challenges of preserving a future for endangered wildlife. The "Firefly Animal Rescue" series promotes endangered and threatened species and what is being done to protect them. Each book introduces readers to a featured animal, explains the threats it is facing, and explores efforts by conservationists and organisations to protect it.

CHAPMAN A TToR/VEY Unite States Patent O 2,986,937 LINEAL YARDAGE NETER ATTACHMENT FOR GOLF CLUBS Loyal H. Chapman, 813 National Bldg., Minneapolis, Minn. Filed May 14, '1956, Ser. No. 584,836 1 Claim. (Cl. 73-379) My present invention relates, broadly, to the vleld of devices for calculating and recording lineal measurements and, particularly, to a device applicable to a golf club whereby the force and speed of the swung golf club will transmit to an indicator on said club the approximate yardage a free golf ball would travel as the result of being struck by the head of the swung club.
It is well known and obvious that it is `difficult for a player to practice the art of swinging a golf club properly by continually driving a ball that is either limited in its flight from the club head by restraining means anchoring the same to a given point, by the use of a simulated ball having practically no weight whatever, or by driving a regulation ball into a restraining net or enclosure to limit its free ilight. Obviously, one of the foregoing means must be relied upon for practicing the proper swinging of the club when such activity is engaged in by a player indoors or within the contines of a private yard. Such conditions, even at their best, are relatively meaningless to the player because even though the impact of the club head on the practice ball may have the right feel and sound, the player is soon prone to abandon such practice because there is no indication whatever as to how true the flight of such a driven ball would be or how great a distance it would have covered, admittedly two of the most important factors in the game of golf.
The principal object of my present invention is to provide a device applicable to conventional, simulated or especially designed practice golf clubs whereby the force of the swing through atmosphere at an imaginary teed ball, or the impact of the head of a swung golf club upon a teed ball under restraint, will indicate on a recording scale or dial, the approximate distance in yards that a free ball would have travelled.
A still further object is to provide a device applicable to a `golf club that will permit the use of a full swing without the use rof a free ball and still indicate the approximate distance such a hit ball would have travelled.
These and other objects of my invention will be apparent from the following specification, claims and drawings which illustrate the invention and in which like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings:

FIG. 11 is a top plan view of another form of the invention, its cover member being removed to show the working parts; and
FIG. l2 is a top plan view of still another modification with some parts broken away to show some of the working parts.
FIGURES 1 through 6 show one embodiment of the invention wherein FIG. 1 shows my novel yardage indicator 113 attached to the shaft 14 of a conventional golf club known as a Wood, near its grip portion 15. It must be understood at this point that while my indicator is shown attached near the upper end portion of the shaft 14, experimentation may prove that a lower location on said shaft is more desirable for the operation of the device and hence provision is made for slidable movement of the device on the shaft =15, as will be presently seen.
The yversion of the invention shown in FIGURES l through 6 is actuated by centrifugal force created by the powerful swing of the club as would generally be the case in actual play of a ball with this type of club and in practice, it is this type of club that is most often used to develop control of the powered swing. It will, however, be understood that the several -components comprising the device are capable of adjustment, thus making the device practicable Ifor application to the iron clubs as well as the woods of a conventional set of golf clubs.
The numeral 16 indicates a rectangular housing having rigidly attached to its back member 16 a pair of clamps 17 for adjustably securing the indicator 13 at a predetermined position on the sha-ft 14 by means of a nut-equipped bolt 18.
Longitu-dinally disposed in the cover or face plate member 19 of the indicator 13 is a long relatively narrow slot 20 which affords a passageway for longitudinal movement of an indicator pointer 21 attached to a weight member 22 slidably mounted for longitudinal movements within the housing 16 with a working iit.
A long coiled spring 23 is removably disposed in the housing 16, is rigidly attached at its upper end portion to the weight member 22 and its lower end portion loosely impinges a relatively shallow seat 24 formed in the inner end portion of an adjusting screw 25 having screwthreafded engagement with one of the end portions 26 of the housing 16. This adjusting screw 25 serves not only as means for confining the spring 23 in the spring housing 16 but acts as a base of resistance to place the said spring under tension or strain and to adjust said tension relative to the position of the indicator on the sha-ft 14.
Formed integral with the inner side of the face plate cover 19, or otherwise secured thereto is a row of teeth 27 in the form of a Irelatively long rack which teeth cooperate with a plurality of teeth 28 formed in the upper surface of the Weight member 22. Formed in the bottom portion of the weight member 22 is a bore 29 which is provided to house a relatively weak coiled spring 30 which, in turn, engages a ball 31 of slightly less diameter than the bore 29. This ball, in turn, normally rides in a race 32 with just enough strain on the spring 30 to keep the cooperating teeth 27-28 in very light engagement. It will be understood that the weight member 22 is designed and constructed to t within the housing 16 with a working t wherein the side members 33 of the said housing act as guides to limit edgewise movement of the weight member 22. The indicator pointer 21 being integral with the weight member 22 serves a dual purpose by also aiording a finger piece for resetting the device to zeno after each swing of the club to which the indicator 13 is attached.
When it is desired to reset the device to a zero reading, nger pressure is merely applied to the indicator pointer 21 to depress the same, as shown in FIG. 5, permit the tensioned spring 23 to disengage the teeth 27-28 and to return the combined weight and indicator units 2122, respectively, to the zero setting. It is important to state at this time that cover or face plate 16 is providedv with a suitable yardage scale 34 with which the indicator pointer 21 cooperates and for the purpose of the invention will be graduated in lineal yards. It will be noted from examination of FIGS. 4 and 5 that the thickness of the weight member 22 is slightly less than the depth of the teeth 27-28, thus when the indicator pointer 21 is depressed, the ball 31 is retracted into the bore 29 against the tension of the spring 30, permitting the disengagement of the teeth 27-28 and slidable movement of the combined indicator pointer 21 and the weight member 22 in the slot 20. Obviously, during such movement of these said members, the travel of the ball 31 in the race 32 will facilitate and aid in the guiding of these units 21-22.
'I'he invention thus far described employs the element of centrifugal force to actuate its moving parts, as hereinafter described. The player, using a conventional golf club with the indicator 13, properly aixed thereto on the shaft 14, takes the usual stance as would be the case in regular play. Said stance may incorporate either a golf ball under restraint, a ball of such nature as to render it incapable of free ilight, or an imaginary ball. At this point the indicator pointer 21 is set at zero on the scale 34. The powered swing of the club activates the weight member 22 by invoking the element of centrifugal force which forces the said weight member and indicator pointer downwardly in the housing 16. The saw teeth forming the rack 27 and the cooperating teeth 28 on the weight member 22 are obviously set in such a manner as to permit the relatively smooth and easy movement of the teeth 28 on the downwardly projected Weight over the teeth 27 forming the rack member by virtue of the relative Weakness of the spring 30 in the bore 29. By the same token, as downward movement of the weight member 22 is terminated at the end of the swing, the force of the lightly Itensioned spring 30 acting on the ball 31 acting on the back member 16 of the housing 16 will project the teeth 27--28 into engagement, thus preventing the return of the indicator pointer 21 and the weight member 22 to normal zero setting by action of the compressed spring 23. By so arresting -return movement of the indicator pointer 21, the player may, of course, take a reading from the graduated scale to determine the approximate distance a free ball so struck would have travelled. The use of this device on a golf club obviously provides an incentive to practice, by providing visual results of the swing. Thereafter, the indicator pointer will automatically return to the zero setting by merely manually depressing the member 21 and disengaging the Iteeth 27-28, thus rendering the device operable for the next practice swing.
Referring now to the modication of the invention shown in FIGS. 78, this form of the invention also employs the element of centrifugal force to actuate its calibrated indicator and is also applicable to the shaft 14 of a conventional golf club. The numeral 35 indicates a substantially cylindrical housing having a top closure member 36 and a bottom closure member 37. Mounted within the housing 35 is an indicator bar 38 having calibrations thereon indicating lineal yardage. This indicator bar 38 extends slightly outwardly of the lower cover member of the housing 37 through a `relatively narrow slot 39 formed therein. A stop shoulder 40 is formed on the extreme lower end portion of the indicator bar 38 to limit its return movement into the housing 35. IThe indicator bar 38 is tapered as shown in FIG. 7 for purposes that will presently be described.
An annular ring 43 encircles and is rigidly attached to the upper end portion of the indicator bar 38` and has` a loose working lit with the inner side walls 44 of the housing 35. IExpansibly xed to the inner side of the lower cover member 37 is a split ring 45 that encircles the indicator bar 38 and 4under tension and is provided to halt the return movement of the indicator bar 38. `It may be well to note here that in this version of the invention, the element of weight is incorporated into the indicator bar 38 itself. When the golf club is swung in a normal manner, the element of centrifugal force will act upon the adjusted indicator bar 38, thus forcing it downwardly and outwardly of the housing 35 until such time as the swing is terminated and the action of the split ring 45 on the downwardly and outwardly projected indicator 38 overcomes the element of centrifugal torce. The reading of the yardage scale 34 is obviously taken at the point and extent to Which the said indicator is extended through the lower cover member 37.
FIGS. 9 and 10 present another embodiment of the invention wherein the element of centrifugal force actuates a weighted member which, in turn, cooperates with an indicator or dial as in this version. As shown in FIG. 9, the numeral 46 indicates a substantially round and relatively thin indicator housing having an appendage in the form of a relatively thin lrectangular spring and weight housing 47 extending outwardly and downwardly of the housing 46. A cover glass 48 overlies a recording dial 49 for lineal yardage mounted within the housing 46. An indicator needle 50 and a small pinion 51 are rigidly mounted on a vertically disposed shaft 52 journaled in the base 53 and the recording dial 49 for rotation about the axis of said shaft 52. A relatively light coiled spring 54 is enclosed in the housing 47 and has for its base of resistance on its outer end portion an adjusting screw 55 that has screw-threaded engagement with the end cap 56 of the housing 47. The housing 47 is in communication with the interior of the housing 46 and a weight member 57, the inner end of which is terminated in a rack 57' that cooperates with the pinion 51 mounted on the shaft 52, is slidably mounted with a working iit -for vertical movement within said housings. 'I'he inner end portion of the spring 54 is rigidly attached to a seat 58 formed in the base of the weight member 57. The purpose of the spring 54 is to exert a retracting strain on the weight 57 and the rack 57' and thus normally position the indicator needle 50 at zero yardage.
A dog 59 is journaled in the side of the housing 46 the inner end portion of which is normally held in engagement with the pinion 51 by means of a light spring 60. This dog 59 is so arranged as to permit free movement of the pinion in a counter-clockwise direction, but acts as a stop to arrest the return movement of the needle and pinion assembly to zero after the device has been actuated by centrifugal force. The outer end portion of the dog 59, indicated by the numeral 61, extends outwardly of the housing 46 to afford a finger piece to disengage the dog from the pinion and thus permit the assembly to rotate clockwise and return the needle 50 to a zero setting. It will be understood that minor adjustment of the moving parts of this form of the invention can be made either by tension on the shaft 52 or by means of an opposing spring, not shown, to compensate and adjust the device depending upon its location on the shaft 14 and the weight of the club itself. These latter adjustments will, of course, only be required in addition to the action of the spring 54 under strain to oppose the element of force and compensate for correct readings.
As in the other version of this device wherein the element of centrifugal force is employed to activate the mechanism, the instrument is attached at a predetermined point on the shaft 14 of the golf club, with the dial 49 pointing to the club head. The player forcefully swings the club at a ball under restraint or at an imaginary ball, thus projecting the weight member 57 downwardly against the strain of the spring 54. The downwardly projected Weight 57 moves the race, aetuates the rack 57' which is` in engagement with the pinion 511, the rotation of which imparts movement to the indicator needle 50. At the termination of the swing, the strain of the spring 54 overcomes the element of centrifugal force and arrests further movement of the mechanism. The action of the dog S9 permits the reading of `the indicator needle 50 on the dial 49 which denotes the approximate yardage travelled by a free ball struck in the process of the swing just described.
FIGURE l1 depicts a form of the invention which so far as most of its working parts, to wit: the recording dial and cooperating needle, pinion, shaft, main housing, rack and pinion, and dog mechanism are concerned, are a duplication of the structure deined and shown in FIG. 9.
'I'his version, however, diers from FIG. 9 in that it is activated by air pressure created by the swing of the golf club.
The device is attached to the club shaft 14 as previously described and comprises a relatively wide funnel-like intake port 62 in the side of the main housing 46. Mounted substantially in the throat 63- of the intake port 62 is a diaphragm 64 which, in turn, is in engagement with the pinion 51 as the motivating means for the recording mechanism, as described. The unit is mounted on the club with the mouth of the funnel-like port facing the direction of the swinging club and the force of the atmosphere on the diaphragm 64 forces the same inwardly, thus activating the mechanism against the strain of a hair spring 65 coiled within the housing 46 attached at its inner end to the shaft 52 and at its outer end to the housing 46 as a means of resistance against the force of the air on the diaphragm 64.
FIGURE 12 employs the medium of air pressure and the same components as described in connection with FIGS. 9-11 except that a system of vanes 66 radiate from the central axis of the shaft 52 into the path of an air stream introduced into the housing 46 at 67 and expelled through an opposing port at 68. A toothed gear 69 is rigidly attached to the vane assembly and cooperates with the dog 59 to halt return of the indicator needle 50 to zero at the termination of the swing, thus permitting a reading of the yardage. As in the case of the invention described in FIG. 11, the hair spring 65 is coiled within the housing 46 to oppose the element of force and return the indicator needle to normal zero setting.
Although this device measures yardage, it actually is capable of indicating centrifugal force, speed, wind and/or air pressure and calibrates the same into yardage, thus being capable of other uses than that described herein.
While there are herein disclosed but a limited number of embodiments of the structure, procs and product of the invention herein presented, it is possible to produce still other embodiments without departing from the inventive concept herein disclosed, and it is desired, therefore, that only such limitations be imposed on the appended claim as are stated herein, or required by the prior art.
What I claim is:
A lineal yardage meter attachment for golf clubs comprising in combination, a tubular housing having a constant internal diameter, an aperture in the lower end portion of said housing and means for detachably securing said housing to the shaft of a golf club, a downwardly tapered indicating member slidably mounted in said housing for endwise movements therein, said indicating member having lineal yardage indicia thereon and frictional engagement with the interior surfaces of said housing, said indicating member being projected through the said aperture in the housing during the swinging movement of the golf club by virtue of the centrifugal force imposed on the said indicating member and whereby centrifugal force is transposed into readable lineal yardage.

Hate captions when you are trying to watch television?
By Shar
from Junction City, Oregon
I am of an age where hearing loss is expected. I have hearing aids but they just didn't give me the clarity I needed when watching television, especially when the sound track drowns out speech. The only reason they are uncomfortable after a while is that I wear glasses and the head phones are snug. This of course is not the fault of the headphones, and I have advised my friends and family of their quality, in the sound department.

Bought 2 of these - 1 for my mother (84) and one for my mother-in-law (94). Both hard of hearing. One had given up watching television, the other set the volume so high it drove us crazy. Now, BOTH women set their TV volume at 1 or 2 (very low), adjust the volume in these headsets any way they please, and background noise is filtered while speaking voices are enhanced. They can hear! What a great gift for both of them!

Incomplete package for installation
By Jim
from Garwood, Texas
Returning product. Installation of product required purchase of third party splitter. For over $300, should have typical installation devices included.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: The Best TV headphones come with required connectors for most cases (including a 3.5mm audio cable and an optical cable). Special configurations could be additional hardware needed.

Israel's Iron Dome blocks Gaza barrage
Tel Aviv, Israel (UPI) Nov 19, 2012
Israel's Iron Dome counter-rocket system has been a critical factor in blocking a massive missile onslaught from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Many Israelis see it as a "wonder weapon." But as an official at state-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, which produces Iron Dome, observed, that could be a problem "because there aren't enough of these things. "People see Iron Dome as a savior. We've warned that the danger is that people feel so secure with Iron Dome they don't take security p ... read more

Rapid Reaction: Ohio State 88, Purdue 71
By Myron Medcalf
INDIANAPOLIS -- Reaction from Ohio State's
88-71 win
over Purdue in a Big Ten tournament quarterfinal game.
The last time Purdue and Ohio State faced off, the Boilermakers nearly pulled off the upset in Columbus before suffering an 87-84 loss Feb. 7. The two battled again Friday in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals.
It was a close game for most of the night until a late surge put the Buckeyes ahead for good.
The Buckeyes outscored the Boilermakers 26-11 in the final 7:01 of the game.
Five Buckeyes reached double figures. The team hit 61 percent of its shots and had a 35-23 advantage in the rebounding war. And now the Buckeyes will move on to play rival Michigan in Saturday's semifinals.
Turning point:
It was a 62-59 affair before
William Buford
completed a three-point play after drawing a foul on a bucket to put the Buckeyes ahead 65-59 with 7:01 on the clock. The sequence gave the Buckeyes a spark. They dominated the Boilermakers from that point.
Key player:
Jared Sullinger
had a monster outing with 30 points, 12 rebounds, two assists and three blocks.
Key stat:
The Buckeyes outscored the Boilermakers 48-18 in the paint. All five starters scored 10 or more for Ohio State.
This Buckeyes team has Final Four talent. Once Ohio State's offense started to roll in the final minutes of the game, it was clear that this team could end up in New Orleans. …
D.J. Byrd
led the Boilermakers with 20 points off the bench.
What's next:
The Buckeyes will play the Wolverines in Saturday's semifinals. Purdue find out its NCAA tournament destination on Sunday.

Skip to comments.BUSH MOM: EVERYONE WANTS TO MOVE TO TEXAS
Posted on 09/05/2005 5:19:27 PM PDT by wagglebee
Former first lady and mother to President Bush said Monday that evacuees from New Orleans have found a home in Houston.
"Almost everyone Ive talked to says we're going to move to Houston," Barbara Bush told NPR.
"What Im hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.
"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this (she chuckles slightly)--this is working very well for them."
Editor & Publisher notes the former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on National Public Radio's "Marketplace" program.
Not the smartest thing to say...
I think the headline on Drudge already distorts what she said.
What did she say that was bad?
That was my response exactly. Here we go...
The truth of the matter is that they WILL be better off away from the city and the gangs.
She is bullet proof. She can say anything and get away with it. Besides, what she said was OK.
At least she didn't mention the looters, shooters, and brain-dead mayor.
Oh my God... .. what's next? She is a wonderful woman...just a very stupid statement....
It's not the first report of evacuees liking the cities they are in. (Contrast this with Fox News report on all the people in Baton Rouge already buying homes there.) Poor Barbara - no one is safe from the Dem's slime machine.
DUers and Leftist Keith Olberman is already spinning this
Why is it that whenever anyone on the right has the nerve to speak the unblunted truth, the left turns it into a weapon? The truth might hurt, but it's more helpful than a comforting lie.
I agree, but by the time the left is through with tearing this apart it will sound like the Diaspora.
probably indicating that living in an arena is better than government housing in NO. Oops.
They probably will distort it, but many of the evacuated folks have said as much themselves - they're glad to get away from their old lives, want to start over, and they're confident the future is going to be better for them.
I know what she means, but this is not going to be interpreted well at all.
Only because everyones not moved there yet.
If any of you have a 70-something year old mother you know they can say be very outspoken at times and say things that come out differently than they want. I'll give her a pass on this, it seems harmless enough, but I'll bet the MSM won't. They have no heart...
The truth is never stupid.
It was the chuckle that got her. Or they inserted it.
If they want to attack Barbara, let them. Only an absolute fool would do so.
There is NOTHING wrong with what she said. Only the left & their teensy, twisted minds could find something wrong with the statement.
Leave Barbara alone...or I may have to punch you. ;) (Don't blame me, I got the idea from Ms. Landrieu)
They will have culture shock. Being treated with respect and not as a voting bloc.
The Democrats in Louisiana want them back on the Plantation.
The former First Lady is beloved by most Americans. The left will be making a mistake if they attack her over this.
She is right. Why does the truth hurt so much these days.
After blathering for days about how the whole problem of the hurricane was cause because there were too many "underprivileged" in New Orleans, what do they want?
Unless you are spewing the PC "sensitivity" line, these idiots will always be all over you.
What ever happened to Olbermans' "Ohio Vote Fraud" ravings? Has he "gotten to the bottom" of that, yet?
Your are forgetting how the game works. The media creates the meme firs, in this case "Bush family is out of touch with the common man" (as if the limo libs even shop for their own groceries), the look for random stuff to fill it in. Her statement is good enough for them.
The left may distort it... but all the new Louisiana Gumbo restaurants that are going to open in Texas over the next six months won't lie.
They can't. The Congressional Black Caucus and other prominent black "leaders" said that Bush was leaving the POOR blacks in NO to die. They'll have to explain the difference between POOR and underprivlidged.
What? You mean they didn't think it was so great in Democrat paradise?
Ding ding ding!
Also... it's (a little) harder for the dead to vote in Texas.
Yeah, kinda like moving from a Saddam controlled Iraq to a post-Saddam Iraq. ;)
One lady interviewed at the convention center in Austin says "This is one of the cleanest, nicest cities I've ever seen, I'm staying here". Welcome.
I have a feeling the left is going to distort this beyond belief.
The difference is: Barbara doesn't give a rat's behind what ANYONE thinks.
They were raised being told that the white people hate them, but now they clearly see it's not the truth.
White arms wrapped around them and plucked them off rooftops, white people got on the buses in Houston, Dallas, Lubbock, Phoenix, Utah, Colorado, etc. smiled and said "Welcome to ......"
Room is being made in schools for their children, medical care is being given to people who obviously haven't received medical care in a very long time, and they're smart enough to know that their own city officials and state officials didn't even bother to help to get them out of the city.
Houston is not pleased.
The left is concerned that they will get jobs, buy homes, start to understand the true purpose of welfare and start voting Republican.
May I crassly suggest, the devasted area in the poorest eastern NO neighborhoods--as I have seen and heard it described--may not be missed. What is rebuilt there will easily be better. The drug addicts will have scattered, too.
I just want them out of that he** hole. In watching the interviews, I saw some of the sweetest, nicest people. They were truely grateful for the help. I know there will be the trouble makers, and the complainers. They should be duely noted and when the time is right, send them back to LA. The others deserve a chance, and I want to see them get it.
Barbara Bush is America's Grandma. The MSM can spin this any way they want. Americans love Barbara Bush!
DUers and Leftist Keith Olberman is already spinning this
Keith who?
Please quit worrying about this stuff. The truth will set them free. My NOLA neighbors are disgusted with the media turning this into a racial issue. It is a human issue!

Viagra, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer's name for a drug called sildenafil citrate, is the most sought after medication on the Internet. You can save a lot of money buying Viagra online, but you can also risk getting a fake or tainted product which endangers your health. Here's how to stay safe and save money. Viagra is contraindicated in patients taking another medicine to treat impotence or using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems. This medicine should not be taken by women and children as well as in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any component of the tablet.
The most common side effects are headache, flushing, heartburn, stomach upset, nasal stuffiness, lightheadedness, dizziness or diarrhea. A serious allergic reaction to this drug is very rare, but seek immediate medical help if it occurs. Many people using this medicine do not have serious side effects. In case you notice any side effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. This drug should not be used with nitrates and recreational drugs called "poppers" containing amyl or butyl nitrite; alpha-blocker medications; other medications for impotence; high blood pressure medicines, etc. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
We provide only general information about medications which does not cover all directions, possible drug integrations, or precautions. Information at the site cannot be used for self-treatment and self-diagnosis. Any specific instructions for a particular patient should be agreed with your health care adviser or doctor in charge of the case. We disclaim reliability of this information and mistakes it could contain. We are not responsible for any direct, indirect, special or other indirect damage as a result of any use of the information on this site and also for consequences of self-treatment.
Canadian pharmacy practices and standards are similar to those in the U.S. Legitimate Canadian pharmacies don't require a separate Canadian prescription and avoid selling controlled substances to U.S. patients in order to comply with our laws. However, the FDA reports that many online pharmacies that appear Canadian are actually operating out of other countries. Like all the things good in this life. The good news is that they are controllable, scarce, mostly light and quick-passing. Viagra adversity effects range between mild and grave. A line should be drawn between the two complexity types of the side effects; if your experience the symptoms from the second list, it is demanded that you immediately discontinue the use of Viagra and seek emergency medical help.

It's radicchio season. If you've only ever eaten it in salads, it's time to expand your horizons. Story and recipes here.
It was this time of year in 2000 when Italian photographer Paolo Destefanis set out with my manuscript in hand to shoot images for Veneto: Authentic Recipes From Venice and the Italian Northeast, a title I wrote for Chronicle Books. I had gone with him earlier in the year to capture the magic of the Venice and its waterways in springtime and to explore locations in some of the mainland provinces. But I missed the second trip the following fall, and had to satisfy myself with being there vicariously through the vivid photographs he took. While I love the fieldwork, research, and recipe testing that is […more…]
Just two days after the American Irish whoop it up on St. Patrick's day, Lenten eating restrictions are lifted once again for the Italians to celebrate Father's Day, the Feast of Saint Joseph (Festa di San Giuseppe). The foster father of Jesus, symbolic breadwinner, protector of Mary, patron saint of families, orphans, unwed mothers, and the indigent is reverenced with an orgy of eating, drinking—and most importantly, sweet gorging. Joseph is by happenstance also the patron saint of pastry cooks. My grandfather was named Giuseppe, so this day held special meaning for us. Like other Italians, we celebrated with treats made only for this day, typically bigné (fried eclair with filled with […more…]

Some studies suggest that people who are greatly involved in religion tend to enjoy better physical and mental health than individuals who are less involved. But at least three problems with these findings must be overcome. First, researchers have proposed many ways in which religion may affect health, making it hard to determine how the beneficial effects might arise. Second, a number of studies on religion and health have been conducted with college students, making it hard to know if the findings apply to a more representative group. Third, if religion affects health, then researchers must identify the specific physiological mechanisms that are at work. This project approaches the study of religion and health with a comprehensive battery of religion measures, a large nationally representative sample of adults, and a range of biomarkers that can show how religion may affect physiological changes in the body.

It's been a little over a week since actor Ben McKenzie had an accident on the set of his new show, Gotham.

Second ice storm gives Gov. Deal a 'do-over'
LEADERSHIP REPORT CARD: Call it the great "do-over." Just two weeks ago, Georgia was roundly ridiculed for allowing 2.6 inches of snow to throw the Atlanta metro area into gridlocked chaos. Leaders this past week were granted a rare second chance to do it right, the political equivalent of a mulligan.
A review by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution of emergency efforts this time around found a more vigorous and better coordinated effort. Gov. Nathan Deal seized the helm early and stayed visible throughout. Transportation and emergency management officials made better use of technology. Schools shut their doors before a drop of precipitation had fallen.

A Defence of Liberal Ironism

Richard Rorty's notion of ironism has been widely criticized for entailing frivolity and light-mindedness, for being inimical to moral commitment and, perhaps most importantly, for its putative incompatibility with his vision of liberalism. This paper suggests that these criticisms are misplaced, stemming from a misunderstanding of ironism that Rorty's presentation has itself in part encouraged. The paper goes on to argue that ironism is not only consistent with the liberal society which Rorty favours, but that it can serve such a society by helping to illustrate the ways in which those societies contain unrecognized injustices.

After two years of marriage, Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are calling it quits.
Why can't they just seem to get along?
Halle Berry has filed documents asking for her child support payments to be cut down by 80 percent, it's been reported.
Here's to her lovely lady lump!
Fergie celebrated her pregnancy in style with a star-studded baby shower — what she dubbed her gayby shower, as it was thrown by her gay best friends — in Beverly Hills, Calif., over the weekend.
Her husband, dad-to-be Josh Duhamel, was among guests including Kelly…
With Halle Berry making her first public appearance since the big baby announcement, the world is officially on bump watch.
Although she can't keep the lid on the happy news any longer, the Oscar-winning actress sure knows how to keep a wrap on her growing belly… for now… in a slim-fit LBD.
The case against Gabriel Aubry, the ex-boyfriend of Halle Berry who got into a physical altercation with Berry's fiance, Olivier Martinez, on Thanksgiving, will be settled out of court, E! News has confirmed.
Aubry, who was scheduled to be arraigned in court on charges of misdemeanor battery Thursday morning, will instead meet with…
Halle Berry's ex Gabriel Aubry won't be charged with a crime after he was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery for fighting with Berry's fiance Olivier Martinez on Thanksgiving morning, sources tell TMZ.
The reason: Berry and Martinez feel it would not be in the best interest of Berry and Aubry's four-year-old daughter,…
No drama here.
One day after reaching a custodial settlement with his ex Halle Berry, Gabriel Aubry was spotted out and about with the former couple's daughter Nahla in Los Angeles.
Aubry, 37, donned a pair of shades, a hoodie and a baseball cap as he picked up his 4-year-old from…
It's One Minute Buzz time!
This week, Justin Bieber got a case of the boos — on home soil. The 18-year-old superstar was a special guest at the 100th Grey Cup in Toronto, where he performed "Boyfriend," "Beauty and a Beat" and other hits, but his performance was met with a sea of…
Peace at last? Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have reportedly reached a settlement according to TMZ.
Both parties had their lawyers in court this morning to settle the custodial arrangement of their four-year-old daughter Nahla.
Berry's attorney Blair Berk walked into the hallway outside of the Los Angeles court and help…
Gabriel Aubry probably won't be striking a pose anytime soon.
Following his Thanksgiving day throw-down with ex-girlfriend Halle Berry's fianceé Olivier Martinez, Aubry was hospitalized with a fractured rib, bruises to the face and cuts that required stitches. And for the French-Canadian model, those injuries carry career consequences.
"He will have…
When it comes to relationships, it's safe to say that Halle Berry has had her fair share of the best and the worst Tinseltown has to offer.
From a baseball player to a sex addict, a Canadian model to her current fiancé, French actor Olivier Martinez, Berry has dated a slew of men…
Halle Berry is trying to move on from the Thanksgiving-day brawl that took place between ex Gabriel Aubry and fiance Olivier Martinez — quite literally, in the case of the home where it all went down.
Sources for TMZ claim that Berry, 46, has "very quietly" listed the Hollywood property for $15 million,…
Gabriel Aubry and Olivier Martinez's Thanksgiving brawl could end up costing the male model thousands of dollars in child support payments, Celebuzz has learned.
Halle Berry's battered ex-boyfriend is currently receiving $20k a month from the Oscar winner — but that could all change if the actress next heads back to court.
As the relationship between exes Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry continues to spiral, family members close to the Canadian model say they hope things get better between the former couple.
"He misses his daughter more than anything," a family member, who wished to remain anonymous, told Celebuzz on Wednesday, referring to the couple's…
Do you think it's right for Gabriel Aubry to not be allowed to see his daughter following the Thanksgiving day fight? Should Halle Berry be able to move to France with her and Aubry's daughter, Nahla?
Following the brutal brawl on Nov. 22 between Berry's ex, Aubry, and fiancee Olivier Martinez, a judge has issued…
So far, the holiday season has been anything but merry for Halle Berry.
In the wake of the Thanksgiving day throw-down between her fiancé Olivier Martinez and ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, Berry is still picking up the pieces of her family. Aubry was arrested on suspicion of battery after the French model came to…
Gabriel Aubry, the ex-boyfriend of actress Halle Berry, is "highly unlikely" to face criminal charges after he was booked for misdemeanor battery following a violent altercation with Berry's fiance, Olivier Martinez, on Thanksgiving.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that Aubry, 37, should manage to avoid more legal woes as most believe the Nov.
Halle Berry's mom has broken her silence about the contentious custody battle and brutal fight between her daughter's ex Gabriel Aubry and current fiancee Olivier Martinez.
"This cannot go on things have got to calm down," Judith Hawkins told Celebuzz, in an exclusive interview.
Hollywood is getting fired up.
Halle Berry's ex-lover Gabriel Aubry and her current fiance Olivier Martinez made headlines this Thanksgiving weekend when the two men got into a scuffle outside of the Oscar winner's West Hollywood, Calif. home.
But they aren't the first celebrity duo to duke it out with their fists.
Gabriel Aubry will return to court Tuesday to ask a judge to lift the emergency protection order placed against him after he got involved in a physical altercation with Olivier Martinez, the fiance of his former girlfriend, Halle Berry, on Thanksgiving.
According to TMZ, lawyers for Aubry, 37, will argue that Martinez initiated…

The purpose of the Consumer product safety recall guidelines (the Guidelines) is to provide guidance to suppliers on how to conduct a product safety recall. These Guidelines should be read prior to initiating any recall action.
The Guidelines are provided for guidance only and are not legally binding.
The Guidelines have been developed by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in consultation with state and territory product safety regulators.
The system a supplier has in place to ensure the recall of unsafe consumer products from consumers and from within the supply chain should be tailored to the type of product and the risk they pose to consumers. A supplier may seek its own independent advice (including legal advice) regarding the system it develops/has in place for conducting a consumer product recall.
The Guidelines have been developed to help suppliers plan for, and respond to, an incident where the recall of potentially unsafe consumer products is required. It does this by setting out:

Declare war
Declare war is a law that can be proposed by the President of a country and is voted by Congress.
The law passes if, after 24 hours, it has a simple majority of "Yes" votes. After passing the law, a new war will be opened with the country war was declared to. The declarer has 24 hours to attack, else, at the end of the 24 hours time, a battle will be automatically started in one of the attackable regions.
War can be declared only if a country shares a common border with the country they want declare war to.
Countries having an active mutual protection pact can't declare war on each other.
