text:
In March this year, Captain Paul Watson signed a letter addressed to all the members of the CITES Animals Committee, who were meeting in Geneva. Attached to that letter was a damning investigative report, highlighting the blatant conflict of interests of a Singaporean vet, Dr. Giam Choo Hoo. Dr. Giam has been within CITES as the Alternate Representative for Asia, a low-profile position that no one else really runs for, but still provides him with access to the rest of CITES. From this position, Dr. Giam has been able to lobby against any protection for the sharks, and other 'species of financial interest' (e.g., perhaps Bluefin tuna?). Dr. Giam is also a representative of the Singapore and Hong Kong Shark Fin Traders.
With the report now circulated to everyone within CITES and media exposure that's been garnered around the world, and even more importantly in his home of Singapore, Dr. Giam's reputation and agenda is now common knowledge, taking the sting out of his tail. He still remains active within CITES, as even CITES cannot remove him; it can only wait for his term to expire. The only entity with the power to withdraw him is the Singapore Government, but they seem impotent to be willing or able to remove one of their own!
Dr. Giam is also a representative of an Australian based entity called SMS (Species Management Specialists). They produce an "Influential Voting Guide" for the CITES Conference of Parties Meetings. The next meeting is March 2013 in Bangkok, where the nominated species are reviewed and protection awarded or status changed. The last meeting was in Doha 2010 and the outcome for sharks and Bluefin tuna was negative. We believe the Voting Guide looks remarkably like an official CITES-produced document. It's a very clever piece of propaganda, especially when you realize the man behind it is Glenn Inwood, the same PR guy for the Japanese whalers.
We contacted the CITES Standing Committee and asked them to review usage of the logo at their 62nd Meeting of the Standing Committee held July 2012, as it could be misleading. I have just received a message from the CITES Secretariat as follows:
"Thank you for your message. Following our email to you of 22 July indicating that we would be taking steps to prevent any misuse of the CITES logo, we issued Notification to the Parties No. 2012/056 restricting the right to use the logo in relation to the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties."
Hopefully that should help with the illusion of confusion that SMS has been counting on to steer the voting at these key meetings.
Now the really good news... . The reason why Dr. Giam and possibly others like him have been able to infiltrate CITES and pervert the institution established to prevent species being traded to extinction, is the lack of any CONFLICT OF INTEREST provisos. Unlike almost every other United Nations body, CITES does not have these provisos. When Mr. John Scanlon took over as Secretary General, he put forward a proposal to have them added but it was unanimously voted down. Is it any wonder why?
In August 2011, the Chairman for the Animals Committee announced at the 61st Meeting of the Standing Committee that these provisos were not needed, "as there has never been a case of conflict of interest within the scientific committees!" Clearly, he had not seen the report that CITES received in July 2011.
We wrote to the Chairman and asked if he had knowledge of the report when he made that statement. If he did, then his integrity would be in question! If he didn't, then what would he do to correct it at the 62nd Meeting of the Standing Committee in July 2012? I received a letter from him, thankfully stating that the first time he saw the report was in March 2012 when Captain Watson sent it to everyone. I asked if he'd be prepared to rectify his statement at the 61st Meeting? I have heard nothing from him directly, however I have just received this statement from the CITES Secretariat:
Dear Mr. Stokes,
At its 62nd meeting (Geneva, July 2012), the Standing Committee decided the following:
The Committee also agreed with a proposal from the Chair of the Animals Committee that the Standing Committee reconsider its implementation of Decision 15.9 at its 63rd meeting (SC63) on the basis of a document to be prepared by the Secretariat.
Decision 15.9 on "Rules of Procedure of the Animals and Plants Committees" can be viewed here
So, we now wait to see what happens at the 63rd Meeting on March 2013. If they decide to go to a vote, the result will be announced at the CoP16 in Bangkok later that same month.
The system may be broken, however the CITES Secretariat is working to fix it and for that we must be hopeful for a positive outcome. Our aim is for the CITES Appendices to be based on science.
The first and most important step is clearing away the corruption and help the CITES Secretariat re-establish an organization with integrity. Then the scientists can secure the threatened species the protected status they deserve! Once gained, the snowball effect will be devastating for the shark fin industry and a victory for the sharks, our oceans and inevitably for all of us.

The National Film Board of Canada has recently made a number of Canadian films available for free, high-quality online viewing. The repertoire includes documentaries, shorts and full-length dramas.
Not many of the films available for viewing are in Criticker's library (yet), but that's no reason not to check out the works which are there. Carts of Darkness, for example, is an excellent full-length documentary about homeless men who've created their own extreme sport to pass the time.
Carts of Darkness, Murray Siple
With hundreds of films available, a trip to NFB.ca could easily absorb an entire afternoon. So be careful… and if you do check it out, make sure to share any discovered treasures with the Criticker Community!

Jennifer Aniston Turned Down SNL for Friends
Lorne Michaels offered her a spot on the Saturday Night Live cast before she signed on to Friends.
-Faye Brennan
Jennifer Aniston has a knack for comedy, but does she have the chops to make it as a cast member on Saturday Night Live? Well, Lorne Michaels certainly thought so!
Jen was on Oprah Wednesday to promote her new movie with Adam Sandler and Brooklyn Decker, Just Go With It. During her interview, she revealed that Michaels offered her a spot on his show in the early 90s, but she decided to turn it down in order to be on Friends.
Read Jennifer Aniston and Nine Other Celebs Who Love & Hate Their Bodies
"They were like, 'You're so stupid,'" she told Oprah. "They thought I was making a huge mistake."
Of course, it wasn't a huge mistake. For as great as an opportunity SNL was, Friends turned out to be even better for Jen. It spurred "Ross and Rachel," the Rachel haircut, an everlasting friendship with Courteney Cox, and a whopping $1 million payday per episode.
Sorry, Lorne, but Jennifer definitely made the right decision! (x17online)
Tell us: can you imagine Friends without Jennifer? Do you think she would've done well on SNL?

March 2017 Indie Next List #1 Great Read
On the cover of this month's Indie Next list is
EXIT WEST: A Novel, by Mohsin Hamid
View this month's complete Indie Next List.
View from a bookseller
"Exit West will take your breath away as it magically weaves together a story of falling in love while the world falls apart. Spirited Nadia captures the heart of the thoughtful Saeed, but as their different paths in life converge, ordinary life gives way to the insults of war. Mohsin Hamid conveys the story of these young refugees with tenderness, humanizing the horrors that we too often see as merely headlines. As chaos touches so many lives around the globe, Hamid writes eloquently of the beauty found in our struggle to survive. This is more than a timely story; this is a remarkable work of art."
Indie Next authors talk about their books...
Melissa Febos discusses her forthcoming essay collection, ABANDON ME, about which John Francisconi (Bank Square Books in Mystic, CT) says: "Melissa Febos has one of those minds that's as good at describing scenes as it is at clearly breaking down a complicated idea or articulating ambivalence. Abandon Me is a powerhouse collection — each essay can be enjoyed on its own, but taken together, they form a striking autobiographical portrait of a talented young writer and thinker. You won't want to abandon a voice this powerful, and you won't forget it either."
Indie Next around the web. . .
"Noah's perspective of growing up as the son of a black woman and white man in South Africa during apartheid, mixed with his trademark humor, is both insightful and poignant. We in the U.S. are often presented with what Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has termed 'the danger of the single story,' which depicts history only from the point of view of the oppressors. It is refreshing and enlightening to learn history from someone directly affected by the heinousness of the apartheid laws."

:P Not quite how I see it. I agree that only Saorin understands (for now; I think we'll get some clarification later) what she meant by 'Anna gets that nobody's perfect', but I don't think her intention was to be random or weird Shuuichi out. It basically feels like a statement of acceptance for Shuu picking Anna indicating she's not going to try to interfere with it.
As for Saorin getting flustered later on, I think that has more to do with her not wanting Anna (or Shuu) to get the wrong impression. Saorin doesn't want to appear clingy or pitiable because she doesn't want to be 'understood' on a superficial level. Though it may be true that she likes Shuuichi, that's not why she's treating Anna disrespectfully (as Takatsuki had been trying to imply). She's just rude naturally . |

Your suggestion of yuri feelings is pretty interesting, too. I wouldn't mind if you expanded on that a bit (I guess it would make sense? for Takatsuki to, as Chiba has been talking about with Shuu, be attracted to girls as a 'boy', but why Chiba in particular?). |

I don't think it was a translation problem. It seemed kinda random, with no basis as she just said it and then everyone came in, causing the whole affair to be pushed aside, but I'll agree with Sol in that there might have been some hidden message in what she was trying to say. I just can't figure out what it is.
I, upon first instant impressions, thought that the fact that Saorin warmed up to Yoshino so easily was because she was simply into people who crossdress, as I half-heartedly stated earlier. Perhaps being persuaded by Sol, I've come to think about how Saorin might be looking for someone who has the potential to be cut off from everyone else. Once Sasa began to hang out with everyone, more particularly with Sarashina, Saorin stopped hanging out with her. Originally, she(supposedly) hated Yoshino, but now knowing that Yoshino wont be hanging out with Shuu, she perhaps sees this as a chance to have a deeper relationship of her own that is on a different level than with everyone else; a relationship that only belongs to her. |

Yeesh, that's pretty unappreciative. Kotonoha -- the group that scanned Hourou Musuko -- is one of the best out there...and until recently was practically dead for a very long time. They weren't dropping it as much as dropping everything they were doing, which is a lot of stuff actually.

Sorry, I disappeared for a while. Am waiting for the next chapters, but I'll do some late replies for now.
Well, to summarize my new thoughts on Saorin and Yoshino. After finding out about Anna, I think Saorin to a degree avoided Shuu. Takatsuki made a conscious decision to do so as well, so maybe the foundation of their closer relationship was the absence of Shuu. Their meeting at the karaoke bar sorta resolved all of that though (for Chiba, by coming to terms with Shuu seeing someone else and finally having a chance to speak with him; for Takatsuki, recieving permission to 'go out' with Shuu again), so they've sort of lost their reason for sticking together. As a result, Takatsuki actually seems pretty lonely right now, 'cause everyone's busy supporting Shuu while she can only struggle with her admiration/envy (or whatever it is that's preventing her from seeing him directly). Quote:
I'll also clarify your implicit question there in that I'm a guy. :P Sorry if the avatar is misleading. With regards to Maho, I wouldn't really say I feel sorry for her but I do understand her. She's just struggling with the idea that she's not a good person. Being jealous, pushing her friends away, when indeed she realizes that Shuu is going through tougher times than her and that she's really been a bit of a drama queen. Shuu gathering up the courage to go back to school before Maho because of his friends, when Maho was the one who told her friends not to come in the first place, must make her feel pretty dumb. As for Yoshino not supporting Shuu, I think part of it has to do with them being (as far as wanting to be a boy/girl) in the same situation. Yoshino's shown a bit of cowardice with regards to being ostracized by her peers, and thus her staying back makes sense when you consider that her crossdressing is already somewhat known. If she were to stand up for Shuu as blatantly as Sarashina, that would open her up full blast for the kind of treatment he is getting. This actually almost feels like the exchange diary all over again, except with Yoshino feeling bad about it from the beginning (well, given the letter I'm just assuming. My interpretation is basically 'You're amazing for having the courage to do this' --> 'I'm not amazing' --> 'I'm too scared to stand together with you' ). Speaking of 'protecting' though, I was just rereading today (result of making this post, heh) and do you guys remember that Yoshino used to be pretty violent?

The lack of updates is the main problem, but I also couldn't really think of anything to say about these two recent chapters. Iunno. I guess I'm pretty excited about the next one though, which I presume will be Shuu/Chiba/Yoshino's date.

Ah, everyone types so very much.
I wish I wasn't dumb, so I could read it. xD But, I wonder what the ending couple would be.. I don't want a Yoshuu. >u<; Hm, I doubt this'd happen, but I hope Yoshino and Chiba end up together, and Shuu and Anna. Or maybe even Kanako and Yoshino. X'D Or Shuu and Chizuru. :'D -continues to read- |

ok guys im at a critical point and need some straightening out
ok guys im at a critical point and need some straightening out
ok well im like on day 22 of my test prop tren cycle and so far the gains have been ok nothing that a good ph cycle couldn't accomplish but the thing that is really bothering me is the sides. last night again i had a 100 degree temp i had one of 99.4 last thurs. this is accompanied with a general feeling being poopy ... this usually leads me to two advil and a nap or a nights sleep and the next day i feel ok...other sides also include a hard time falling asleep ..waking up in the middle of the night ..extreme depression/aggression and lack of appetite (not conducive to a good cycle or anabolic state to say the least and has been effecting my training ie i don't lol)...from some opinions i have trusted i have a feeling that it is the tren that kickin my ass like mike tyson back in his prime. when i made my tren it came out to 40ml which i then estimated 1cc would equal about 95 mg of tren so i have been taking about .4 ccs a day along with my prop... at this point i need to either save the cycle or pack it in so here are my options let me know what you think, im asking for opinions cause each of these options have a draw back.. and yes i know i shouldn't have tried tren first cycle but what can i say im adventorous or stupid i dont' know lol.
1) stay on course and cut the tren dosage to .2 ccs a day (my concern with this is that the tren will still build up and kick my ass)
2) cut the tren out of the cycle up the prop a little bit and do a test only cycle (the problem with this is maybe it is the prop thats kicking my ass and not the tren.
3)cut the tren and keep the prop and the same dosage and throw in a bottle of super one + i have from my ph days to replace the fina since 1-test is supposed to be similar (if i do this will the 4-ad along with the test prop be too much test? )
4) i may actually be sick so mabye just stop everything recover and start again in a couple weeks. - 08-05-2003, 10:07 AM
First off, did you go to the Doctor?
If you genuinely feel bad, you should, if nothing else for peace of mind.
No one can make the decision to continue or stop except you, depending on how you feel. If you're not sleeping well that could have an effect on the way you feel and your lack of motivation to train.
One thing is for certain though, if you're not eating and training right, you're wasting you're cycle, and a first cycle is a terrible thing to waste.
As far as your gains go, I'd say your about on course. My first cycle was test cyp 300mg/wk and tren 75 mg EOD. I didn't really feel it kick in until about the third week, which is where you are.
I also had slightly elevated temp and some trouble sleeping, but none of the other sides you've mentioned. I did have some aggression when I got behind some slow ass, or caught by traffic lights when I was trying to get to the gym. I was definitely motivated. -
old guy so how much did you gain first cycle i think im going to try to stick with it but lower the tren dosage.
I gained around 12-15 lbs, but it was mostly lean mass. I also lost b/f and strength also went up big time. I was very pleased with the results.
Unfortunately I got the flu about a month after and lost most of my gains.Last edited by Old Guy; 08-09-2003 at 01:06 AM.
I also ran tren for my first cycle. I got so sqrewed up by the lack of sleep that I had to cut it short. Cutting back didn't help ether, still had the side but less gains. in the future if I run tren agin I will keep it to the short 4-5 week cycles at a higher does. JMO
hey old guy im on my second day of antibiotics now and im feeling a little better but i stll have the temp when you say to refilter my gear what do you mean? get some whatman filters and refilter?
i guess i could try that you think it would help? but wouldn't i be getting abcesses if my gear was contaminated?
Im ten days into my first test prop/tren acetate cycle at 100 mgs/ED and 75 mgs/ED of each respectively. For the first five days, my symptoms were identical to yours. I felt like crap, my entire body was stiff, I was running a fever and I had a very difficult time sleeping. As a matter of fact, after the first three days, I had to switch back to a batch of test base/1-test transdermal that was left over from my last cycle. After two days on the transdermal, I felt better and switched back over. The negative symptoms never returned. As a matter of fact, I have felt pretty good.
I think it just takes your body a while to adjust to the tren, as it is a very anabolic and androgenic steroid. For some, that adjustment is going to be harder than for others. I remember when I first started on 1-test over a year and a half ago. I remember feeling like crap for my entire first cycle. By my last cycle, I was up to 400 mgs/day with very little negative sides, including lethargy.
In short, I would go with number 3 (sort off). Stay with the test prop injections, buy the BDC gell and add your own 1-test. No need to go with the super one cycle, as the 4 AD will be redundant with the test prop. This should make for a good bridge between cycles. Your body will adjust to the adrogenic nature of 1-test, making a transition to tren easier in the future.
Hope that helps. - 08-09-2003, 10:38 PM
thats interesting bow i have done two cycles of one+ before and i was fine with the 1-test except for some skin problems ... its good to here that you recoverd well i have had my temp for like 5 days and while im feeling better today was the 5th day 3rd of antibiotics the temp is the highest its ever been 100.2 so i decided today unfortunately to end the cycle... i will be back soon though ... i just need to time to get better and the elevated temp is bothering me so i will start my nolva today.... this leaves me with the unknown of what caused my problem and what to do with the remaining gear.. i am going to refilter it and bake it but is that good enough? was the gear just too strong for me or was it bad? maybe just do a test only cycle and forget the tren till im more used to gear? is test prop from synovex-h safe?its hard to tell... the one thing i do know for certain is that i didn't do my best to prevent myself from getting run down but thats my own fault the rest well ill have to see i really want to have a successful cycle in the near future cause i was liking the gains i was getting and definelty do not want to get sick again... guess i have some thinking to do as i recover.
Welcome to tren. If you cannot live with night sweats, and lack of sleep, as well as depression/agitation/mood swings, tren isnt the toy for you. Prop will also give the prop flu the first few weeks. The combo is unbeatable, you just need to get thru the sides. I would run 7 more days see if the sides do not subside. If they do not, drop the tren. Prop by itself will do you well.
wardog i here ya, but there is something about the mentality of having a 100 temp that makes me not bring myself too train i already missed one week. for some reason i feel as long as im on the gear that temp isn't going to go down for whatever reason maybe its suppressing my immune system enough where my body is not able to wipe out the sinus infection completely, therefore im feeling better each day but not fully better and am still getting the body temp spikes which means my body is still fighting off the infection..if i stay on and train im going to beat my body up more and may need another week of antibiotics to get rid of the infection...just my opinion but im obviously no expert.. i would love to stay on but at this point im going to start losing my muscle if i don't train so i think im going to go this route (end cycle and gradually ease into my training again)... don't you think once i got the sinus infection i was pretty much screwed?... either way i need to get a couple days under my belt of no elevated temp and some training and this seems like the best path for that right now... oh yeah i wasn't getting the night sweats i was getting them during the day when the temp would be up id' be sweating my balls off lol at night i was fine but did have problem sleeping..now you have me wondering if coming off was the best idea i was likeing my gains
I hear what you are saying on the sinus infection.. I am fighting one and I the antibotics I have from the doc are not working this time.. need to head back and see what he says..
Ending the cycle is probably the WORST thing you can do. Think it thru bro. You have issues due to elevated hormone levels in your opinion. You are now going to crash them out completely?? Drop the tren, fine. I would NOT drop the prop and quit the cycle. It just does not seem wiose IMO
And FYI I run prop/tren all the time, and I homebrew. Anyone who knows me knows I am a tren whore - 08-10-2003, 12:01 PM
LOL.. yes Wardog is a tren whore.. and I am getting that way very quickly.. damn I love that stuff..
Jersey, yes it is homebrew tren. QV test but that is going to be the last time with that... - 08-10-2003, 12:18 PM
wardog your killing me man lol...how am i supposed to train if i can't lift? and i refuse to lift if im spiking a 100 temp throughout the day... so you think im going to get better even if i stay on?
I say stick with the prop. Quit your whining and hit the gym. Do high reps if you need to for a bit.
Damn, I have lifted thru the test flu before, you just gotta do it, but change the routine slightly - 08-10-2003, 01:56 PM
If i remember correctely thats some strong **** like 2 times as strong as penicillin, if that doesnt kill your infection than its one hell of an infection
yeah well i hope its strong cause i hate being sick wardog has me all messed up now ive only missed one shot so far i could stay on... today i felt pretty good most of the day my temp was normal except in the morning and now its 99.4 i got a couple hours to decide
Do high reps if you need to for a bit.
If I just absolutely couldn't lift at all for a couple of weeks then I might consider stopping. But, if you have been lifting regularly for a while, a few days of light work or rest is not going to hurt anything IMO. - 08-11-2003, 05:20 PM
I have noticed that it seems to take the antibotics alittle bit longer when you are on cycle.. at least it has this time with me..
yeah well im deciding to stay on !!! screw it lol!!! i did another test prop shot last night... i am getting off the tren right now though no reason to really risk things it will be good enough if i can salvage the cycle on with test prop only and my mental state is already better tren makes me one mean sob i thought i could handle it first cycle but i was wrong... i don't know how anything would be different next time i try it but as of now i can't worry about it goto try to salvage this remaining cycle
weird stuff
well guys i got progressively better and im on my second to last day of antibiotics .. coughing has almost stopped and today was the first day i felt almost 100% and surprising as this is to here im still on cycle lol thanks to some coaxing lol... i know you guys are going to think im crazy but i felt fine the whole day except for that brief period before me and my girl had sex today ... i spiked a 99.5 oh well it went down right after lol weird **** for sure.. after that i went to the gym and the week layoff hasn't hurt me nearly as bad as i thought i actually had a pretty intense workout and was using the same weights as before i got sick... tomorrow is my last day of antibiotics and im contemplating if i should call my doc and get another weeks supply he said if im not 100% better when the weeks supply is up to call him up and he will give me a refill .... also about to go refilter and bake all my gear.
I am glad you are feeling better.. I hope that you don't need the extra round of antibotics.. but if you think you are starting to relapse, then call him for sure.

The causes of cancer are contested. Certainly there is evidence that the disease can be passed down from generation to generation. There is also, of course, proof that smoking can cause lung cancer and a diet high in salt and sugar can cause stomach cancer. But there is no way to predict with certainty who will get cancer or why. And so the wives' tales proliferate: deodorant causes breast cancer; stress causes brain cancer; repression causes colon cancer.
However there is one general connection that has been proved but remains buried. It is the connection between dioxin and cancer. Dioxin is formed when chlorine-containing chemicals, like plastic or industrial waste, are burned, or when pulp or paper are bleached. The chemical then becomes airborne, settling on plants that are eaten by animals, which, in turn, are eaten by humans. Humans retain dioxins in their fatty tissue through both meat and dairy consumption. And once dioxin is lodged in the body there it remains.
Scientists have known the dangers of dioxin for a long time. When the US Environmental Protection Agency completed its first health assessment of dioxin in 1985, it reported that more people will get more cancer from dioxin than any other chemical on earth. The assessment was intended to form the basis of all future EPA regulations of dioxin emissions.
But, according to a report released on April 3 by the Center for Health, Environmental and Justice, the paper and chlorine industries pressured the EPA to reconsider publishing its assessment -- and have succeeded in burying, waylaying and buying off government officials ever since. CHEJ's report, "Behind Closed Doors," is among the most damning studies ever written on how the chemical industry has influenced policy makers and concealed vital health information from the public.
Behind Closed Doors reveals that year after year the publication of the EPA's report on dioxin has been stalled due to pressure from the chemical industry. Tactics have included:
funding alternative scientific panels, which downplay the health threats of dioxin
pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the campaigns of President Bush and former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman (who now runs the EPA)
influencing the negotiations of the United Nations Treaty on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPS), which is intended to eliminate the proliferation of dioxin and other pollutants
suing the EPA on the grounds that its guidelines for classifying dioxin as a "known human carcinogen" are false
squelching community groups and anti-dioxin activists
and attempting to prevent local governments, such as the California counties of San Francisco and Marin and the cities of Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco and Palo Alto, from passing resolutions to phase out dioxin sources.
"If you start telling people that every child born in this country has dioxin in their body," said Gary Cohen of the Environmental Health Fund, a partner of CHEJ, "if you show them the list of health effects and that every mother is passing dioxin on to her child, if you say we are all being exposed to hundreds of thousands of chemicals -- it's an explosive issue. And the chemical industry, particularly the chlorine section of the chemical industry, will be in trouble."
So you might say it is in the chemical industry's interests to keep scientific studies of dioxin poisoning under wraps. Among the key findings of "Behind Closed Doors" is the role the American Chemical Council and the Chlorine Chemistry Council have played in preventing a final release of the EPA's dioxin assessment.
Chiefly, the report shows that the ACC and CCC have manipulated the Science Advisory Board of the EPA's dioxin committee through money. The CHEJ's research on the November 2000 dioxin committee shows that a third of its members received funding from 91 dioxin-generating companies, like Dow and DuPont.
One panel member, John Graham, the director of the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis, who has a long history of working for the chemical industry, told National Public Radio last year that the chances of getting cancer from dioxin and getting killed in a car crash were both 1 in 100, which put dioxin "on par with common risks." However, the EPA's 2000 draft report on dioxin health risks reports that the "chemical is 10 times more likely to cause cancer than previously estimated," according to a May 18 New York Times article.
Of course, the EPA's report has not been released, so the EPA scientist who talked to the Times spoke on the condition of anonymity. But he also mentioned that the EPA's data showed that "dioxin might alter [human] development and that it might affect thyroid secretions." Other known health risks of dioxin documented by the EPA and CHEJ include attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, weakened immune system, birth defects and endometriosis, which often results in infertility.
Health activists had hoped that the EPA would publish its dioxin report during the Clinton administration. As Cohen put it last fall, "if the report is not released before November or if Gore does not win the presidency, it will never see the light of day."
For that reason, "Behind Closed Doors" was released the same day Whitman met with top EPA scientists and policy officials to talk about the future of the dioxin reassessment. But given that, according to CHEJ, Whitman did much to deregulate the chemical industry's environmental standards while governor (reducing, for example, air and water pollution violation fines from $40 million to $11 million in eight years), and that, according to Newsweek, the American Chemistry Council raised over $350,000 for Bush's campaign, further stalls are likely.
So Americans will remain in the dark. Still, there is evidence of a growing movement against the chemical industry. On March 26, Bill Moyers' PBS special "Trade Secrets" exposed how chemical companies hid damaging information about vinyl chloride, one of the most potent sources of dioxin.
This unearthing of years of chemical industry documents by Moyers, as well as the reports of CHEJ and other groups may well lead to a public outcry and class action lawsuits. In which case, the chemical industry will find itself embroiled in scandal similar to the one the tobacco industry faced during the last decade.

SideShow just announced that on October 13 you pre-order (66) Cmdr. Bacara!
I've saved a boxed Ki-Adi Mundi figure to recreate the famous scene on Mygeeto for some years now!
I so hope they also make Bacara's Galactic Marine figure.
But I can't wait to order the Commander. He is definitely on my want-list.*
*In my SideShow wish list thread, I identified approximately 100 figures I would like, and would buy if SideShow / Hot Toys made them. That is a lot, but there is no impulse buying stuff and spending of even more money.

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are from Fonda San Miguel: Thirty Years of Food and Art, by Tom Gilliland, Miguel Ravago, and Virginia B. Wood.
Flan is one of the most traditional desserts in the entire Hispanic-influenced world — from Spain and Portugal to Cuba and Puerto Rico, all the way to Mexico and Central and South America. It comes in a variety of flavors and textures, depending on the local tastes and agricultural products of each different region. When Fonda San Miguel opened in 1975, few, if any, Mexican restaurants in Texas offered flan as a dessert option. In the early days of the restaurant, a loyal customer named Ana María generously shared her family's heirloom recipe from the Mexican state of Guanajuato, and it has been a customer favorite ever since. It's very dense and creamy, balanced by a crunchy almond crust on the bottom.
Leave a Review
I've never made a flan before but this sounded delicious and quite simple to make. Indeed, it was about as simple as I can imagine and it turned out *beautifully*. I used only one can of sweetened condensed milk and made up the remainder with whole milk. It was still quite sweet enough and I'm glad not to make it any sweeter.
Maybe I didn't make it correctly... the sugar melting worked fine, but after the prescribed oven time, the flan wasn't "set" in the center. So I cooked it longer... and longer... finally after 30 minutes over, I decided "set" or not, the flan was coming out of the oven. Then when it was time to take it out of the dish, it wouldn't come out. We scraped it out and ate it. It was okay, but not worth all that work. :-(
This is by far my favorite flan recipe. I've eaten it only once at Fonda San Miguel and was blown away. I love the light flavor and density of the custard. It is my favorite dish to bring to any gathering. I occasionally omit the almonds because I don't always want the crunch.
Took the suggestion of adding a bit of almond extract which significantly ramped up the flavor of almond; might not be to the liking of all.I also used 1 can of condensed milk, making up the restwith whole milk...worked well.Almonds provided a nice, slightly crunchy crust. My family was not wild about the desert but I think only because they are not flan fans.
I've tried and tried to like flan, but it just wasn't meant to be......until this. I made this for dinner with friends thinking I would have a couple bites to enjoy with the company. I couldn't stop! Now, I know why people love this stuff! Definitely will be making again and soon.
This flan is scrumptious. My husband and I can't get enough of it... However, I had a hard time getting the sugar to melt as it was clumpy- eventually I was able too and then I cooled it till it hardened... but after cooking and cooling overnight it was just liquid sugar on the bottom. Any suggestions? This was a pre-make for a party so I will be making it again soon and even if the sugar doesn't work, it is still beautiful and very tasty!
I give this 3 forks as written; but with some modifications, it can become a 4 forks dessert. I reduce the sugar to 1/2 and I only add 1 can sweetened condensed milk, making up the rest with whole milk. I add 2 tablespoons of amaretto to the batter, to complement the almonds. Spectacular! I get rave reviews every time. It is the only flan recipe I follow.
This is delicious. I'm not a big fan of custard type desserts but this was worth trying. I added slivered almonds to the base (w/ the melted sugar) and also to the recipe as called for. I also, as another reviewer mention added some almond extract to the batter as i love that flavour. Turned out perfectly.
Where is the "cruncy almond crust on the bottom" that the description states?
I loved this recipe !! I made it for my gourmet group. I used organic sugar for the carmelization and slivered & toasted almonds in the bottom of 8 buttered ramikens in place of 1 large pan. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the flan and did not add the almonds to the flan mixture as called for in the recipe. The results were excellent !!

Throttle/Flaps setup JR 9X
with my easyfly I have the flap switch set with aileron up and elevator down for landing (no flaps on easyfly)....new at this programming thing and the setup has not been tried yet in flight. However I hear the sailplanes have a setup whereby the throttle stick progressively moves the flap setup...this seems better that the on/off setup I will be trying. I was thinking (yeah I know..dangerous!) that there would or should be a mix around that incorporates a progressive movement of the throttle that brings in the flap deployment as the motor is brought down to zero. Obviously a switch would be needed ( I assume ) to turn this off for normal flight. When I am saying flap I mean the above setup on the easyfly..do not know what it is called...butterfly?? Have the manual and even had trouble getting the above mix working, but would like to learn more. Can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks, Barry |

Reason: tried to make it clearer!
Should be easy
I have a 3810, but the 9x is more capable and should present no problems. On my Optima sailplane, the three-position (flap) switch is set up to arm the throttle (switch full forward) with no mixing, disable throttle and 'spoiler' movement (switch centre) by mixing throttle against throttle at 100%, no mixing for ailerons up, then landing mode (switch fully back) by mixing up aileron and a bit of elevator from the throttle stick. Works a treat. So you have Go mode, pure glider, and land, with no confusion between modes. Someone with the same Tx should be able to give you more detailed advice, but a good play will teach much. Cheers, Pete |
Electric soarer
No, I was talking about an electric soarer.
You could also do the job using a two-position switch to trigger the mixes: forward for throttle enabled, but spoilerons inactive; back for thermal and land mode, with motor disabled and the throttle stick becoming a spoileron control - stick forward for soaring, coming back proportionally for approach control. Hard to discuss specific mixes when Txs are different, but all the JR/Spektrum logic is reasonably consistent. Will have a go at describing the individual mixes if nobody else chimes in, or if you run into hassles. Cheers, Pete |
So ok, have reread the posts a few times and let's see if I have it right.
Does it mean that the throttle (as a throttle) is cut out of the process when the flaps are deployable and one has to pop the switch if the approach is too short and power is needed? Sorry about my noobieness! Barry |
I believe you are going to have to use a switch to change the throttle stick functions. The JR transmitters sold in the US differ in programming on some points from those sold to rest of the world. Our distributor has JR make modifications based on recommendations of prominent test pilots. The one bit of logic needed to make the stick transition for throttle to butterfly control appears missing on the PCM9X, 9XII, and the DSX9. At least it doesn't appear in the manuals I've downloaded. Check to see on your MOTOR HOLD, BUTTERFLY MIX, and standard program mix menus if there is a SPOI STK INH. The INH can be changed to some numerical value between 0-100. This is in addition to the offset adjustment. The SPOI STK INH is a piece of logic that makes the spoiler/throttle stick position select different mixes like the select switches do. Without this extra logic, I don't know how you can make the stick change functions without the use of one of the select switches. I'm in the process of setting up an electric glider. While I've programmed the stick to function both as a throttle and spoiler stick without using another switch, I'm not sure I care for it. The stick throttle and spoiler ranges are each more than halved as there should be some dead space between. When I get the plane flying, I may well change the programming to something more conventional, i.e., use one flight mode to have the stick control the motor and another mode for the stick to control the spoiler function. Allan |
thanks for the input Allan,
cannot find the "motor hold" (yet) but the butterfly mix is in the glider section. no "spoi stk inh" in mix 1 it has spoi + spoi radio is JR PCM 9X I am ok with that if it is not there and I have to use a switch, just want to understand what I have to do and the technique involved, would have thought that people around with this radio and a motor glider would have worked out various ways to set up their radios for landing with a conventional electric glider without flaps or dive brakes using the butterfly setup. I will be interested to know how you end up with you mixes. again, thanks Barry |
Short answer, yes. One switch position: throttle stick controls power, ailerons are just ailerons; middle position: pure glider, throttle stick is dead, ailerons just ailerons; land position: motor is disabled, throttle stick controls spoilerons. As Allan says, you can put them all on one stick, but I would be doing some head-scratching for that one. You still have glidepath control in the landing mode, most modern sailplanes will keep on coming at an embarrassing rate when clean, so the spoilerons may be needed to get a decent descent rate on finals and you just clean up to compensate for a short approach. You also need to be aware of the stick position when changing modes, or you will get all the power at once. Mode awareness is a necessity with these very capable radios - you need to stay ahead of the aircraft and plan the next move all the time. Sounds like Allan has a good grasp of the 9X capabilities - you might be better listening to him on the detail. Cheers, and don't call Wagga Wagga Wagga! Pete |
ha ha thanks Pete,
we sold our yacht that we lived on for quite a few years and would you believe Wagga (Wagga) is the first town we have lived in since being married (45years) but I have to tell you that the proper name is the two Wagga's (you probably know), but being aussies we of course change everything! So don't take offence mate! I have learned from the input so now I will look to having a switch for final, just thought a progressive deployment of flaps would make a more precise landing and that is what you guys have presented. If it is not too much trouble can I have some sort of guideline of how to achieve it. Barry |

Someone with a PCM9X should be chiming in here. The differences between my XP9303 and your PCM9X are significant. Not only does the programing differ but the switch layout is different as well. The PCM9X manual that I downloaded from MacGregor was not very helpful. The switch assignment I find convenient on my transmitter may be awkward on yours. Assuming these differences can be overcome, the simplest way to program is to use the BUTTERFLY MIX menu. It saves you from programing two other program mixes. It may be possible that the same switch that controls the butterfly mixes can switch the throttle/spoiler stick functions between the motor and butterfly. So if you are interested, do a small test. The first step after resetting a model memory slot and selecting the GLID configuration is to go to the BUTTERFLY MIX menu. In the upper left corner of the menu it should read [Butterfly] > 0. It should be either the MIX switch or the GEAR switch that changes it to [Butterfly] > 1. Next step is go to a standard program mix and see if that same switch is listed as a select switch. If the above works, let me know and we'll continue on with the programming. I've programmed my transmitter using this setup. Unless there is some unforseen difference between our transmitters, it should work on yours. Allan |
my apologies for this. I was aware the radio had a different name in the states but was not aware the programming was different...thought it was the same radio! It appears you use the glid mode for this and I assumed having the motor meant I had to use acro. however moving on....... the switch that works in the glid/butterfly is the gear two position, situated rhs above the stick. It does not appear to be in the prog mix 1....(that I can tell anyway,nothing changes when I flip the sw.) Hang ten as I will continue to play...at least I have something to go on now. Also our time zones mean we both have to sleep at different times so the delay in communication is another bother for you. I really appreciate you taking the time and effort here. Barry |
Best guess
Those abbreviations are different from my 3810 versions, but similar enough to make an uneducated guess - these are the switches that you can use to activate the mix? FPU - Flap switch Up? FPO - Flap switch Off (or centre position)? FPD - Flap switch Down MIX - Mix switch TIM - Dunno, but do you have a Timer switch? BT0 - Butterfly switch 0 BT1 - Butterfly switch 1 You may find that different mixes have different switch options available. Cheers, Pete |
Many thank again Pete,
that helps a lot, and makes sense of course, I guess the manual assumes one knows these things. I think there is a timer yes. The first three obviously relate to the three position flap sw that I have in use now to turn on/off butterfly. The rest is a puzzle to me at the moment. The radio appears to have different options in the menu between acro and glid mode..eg Butterfly is not an option in acro. I assume you have your mix in glid the same as Allan? I have the 9303 manual and it may help to cross reference anything Allan or anyone else comes up with. Barry |

The Bhaag Milkha Bhaag writer talks about his writing process, working with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and his theory of why bad songwriting is here to stay
National Award winning songwriter/poet/ad-man Prasoon Joshi says creativity comes easy to him. In fact, he is proud that he can spontaneously be creative and have the lyrics flow as smooth as his songs sound, thanks to his background in advertising. It's this training that has helped him handle so many professions so successfully, he says. Now eagerly awaiting the release of his debut film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag – for which he has written the screenplay as well as the script – Prasoon tells us in an exclusive interview his views on bad songwriting, the process of writing lyrics and movies and the lessons he learned from Milkha Singh
What was it like, switching from writing songs to writing a full-fledged script?
It was challenging, but also fun and a great way to learn. When I accepted Bhaag Milkha Bhaag I did so because I saw a challenge there. As a matter of principle, I always take projects I can learn from. And I have worked on Bhaag Milkha Bhaag for three years. It's a continuous process, writing a script. There were no breaks, so to say, but I did some other work in between. But when I was writing, I did it in week-long sessions. There was a lot of fine tuning.
What is like it working with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra?
I've worked with him on a number of projects, and I respect him as a director. We go back a long way. We're from the same fraternity – advertising – and this makes working with him very easy and exciting for me. The first time I worked with him was on RDB – I did dialogues and songs. The second time was on Delhi 6, where I again did songs and dialogues. But on this one I came in early, pretty much while the film was being conceptualised.
How did you go about writing Bhaag Milkha Bhaag?
Script writing is a continuous process. There are no real breaks. For BMB, I would write in week-long sessions. And in between the writing, you also have to discuss. It is very important to fine tune and discuss the script and the screenplay, because you never know what interesting facet you can uncover. There was also a large amount of research involved, which is a very important thing for a film of this kind, because you have to understand the time and the situation surrounding Milkha Singh. So I read about other sportsmen and that time too, and there was so much material there. The stories I uncovered and came across – they deserve a telling, but maybe later. For now, this is the story of Milkha Singh.
What sort of challenge was it writing a biopic?
When I accepted the film, I did so because I saw a challenge. And this one – I was working on it for three years. During this I got to spend a lot of time with Milkha Singh. I met him a number of times. Because writing a film story inspired from a person's life, even though it is fiction, it has to be true to his character. So yes, I spent a lot of time with him and it was very inspiring. And my observation included everything, from his personal life and relationships to the depth of the emotional relations he shared with people around him. And all of this, the research, my impressions of the person and the truth to his character was written by me over time, and discussed with Rakeysh.
What were the things you learned from Milkha Singh while writing the film?
What I learned from Milkha Singh is discipline. He is a sportsman, so discipline is embedded in him. And I think discipline for creative people is equally important. Creative people are obsessive by nature. And this sort of obsession is found among sportsmen too. That, coupled with a never say die attitude and the fact that a person makes his/her own fate – those are some of the things I learned observing the man.
As someone who has attempted both script writing and song writing, what would you say is the main difference between the two?
Songwriting is a very different thing. I can write one song now and one later tomorrow. It takes less time and is easier than writing a film. It is easier in terms of the amount of time you put in, because with films you have to give it your all for a longer time. So a song can stand on its own, while a script is something that requires a logical continuity and rewrites that go on for a period of time. For example, the title Bhaag Milkha Bhaag came about because of a reason. It is there because it means something in the film. So a film is written by arriving at such logical conclusions over a period of time, while songs are born in a much shorter time span. If you ask me what I prefer, I'd say all, because each of them, when it comes out right, gives me equal joy.
Your thoughts on the sorry state of song writing in Bollywood…
I have to say that we let the audience go scot free. Of course the creative people who write these songs shouldn't escape, but understand that the people listening to these songs also have a responsibility. The listener also has a responsibility. But again, in every era you will find good, bad, great and ugly work. Even when Sahir Ludhianvi was writing his songs, there was the riff-raff happening. In fact, we need that mediocrity because without that, how would one recognise good songs?
You recently wrote a book about the process of songwriting. Why do you feel it was important for people to know that?
The reason I wrote a book was because I was addressing those people who lament the sorry state of songwriting in our industry. I wanted them to know just how songs take shape. People shouldn't club me with that bunch that is responsible for writing such lyrics. I tried to show how the songs that are popular as well as have a certain respectability are written.
In Hollywood, script writing has evolved as an art form as is visible in their movies. What are your thoughts on the Indian script writing scenario?
That is because they (Hollywood) respect their script writers. Here it is a bad scenario. They can't make it here, the script writers. Neither do they get credit, nor the money. See the history of script writing in India. No one has ever been only a script writer. It was mostly the writer-director who wrote films. There was no writer only for films. In fact, if you see the ground reality, the last person to receive money on a project is a writer and, if the film is a hit, the last to get any credit!
You've been involved in a number of social projects as well. How do you juggle your creative and commercial pursuits?
I'm basically a communicator. Writing for me is communication. It doesn't matter where I'm using it. Be it a social cause or a song or a film or an ad, I give it my all. And I'm a master of deadlines. The advertising profession – which is my primary profession, since I consider myself an adman – teaches you to be creative, on the spot. It's hardcore training in meeting deadlines. So you can ask anyone who has worked with me about deadlines. I always beat them!
Would you consider a change of career in the near future – from writing songs and movies for others to writing and directing your own films?
I have a lot of assignments and offers. I have been approached to direct several times as well. But to be honest, a career move doesn't excite me. Turning into a director doesn't do it for me. What excites me are projects. But I do have a few ideas and I'm trying to develop them. Also, I have to spend my time very judiciously and allocate it to my passions, as I am a CEO of an ad agency. So whatever projects I take, I am very careful about them!
So do you also turn down advertising projects if you're not convinced?
I definitely do so. If I'm not convinced about a product, I don't do it. But I'm definitely not anal about it. If I don't like the promise they're selling, I refuse it. There is no hard and fast rule that way.

Second are mounting costs at Sony's game division, Sony Computer Entertainment. The price cut and altered specifications of PlayStation 3's 20 GB model, which Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi announced at last month's Tokyo Game Show, together with production problems of blue laser diodes are projected to result in an operating loss of 200 billion yen ($1.69 billion USD), instead of previously projected 100 billion yen ($846.54 million USD). Looking ahead, Chief Financial Officer Nobuyuki Oneda would not comment on whether Sony Computer Entertainment will be writing black numbers again during the fiscal year 2007/2008. Higher production capabilities and shipments of PlayStation 3 during the calendar year 2007 however would allow the world's leading console maker to cut costs, according to Oneda.
Furthermore, Sony Computer Entertainment also had to cut its annual PlayStation Portable shipment target from 12 million to nine million units. While Oneda mentioned that Sony Computer Entertainment was looking at ways to counter declining sales of its first handheld gaming device, the executive acknowledged the only way for the system to become more successful was the development of games and accessories that increase the system's fun factor.

LONDON - Queen Elizabeth II emphasized the importance of family in her Christmas message this year and her grandchildren brought some Christmas cheer to her husband, Prince Philip, as he recovered in a hospital after a heart procedure.
The 90-year-old prince was forced to miss the royal family's traditional Christmas festivities opening presents together, going to a morning church service and viewing the Queen's Christmas broadcast after doctors put a coronary stent in. Philip had gone to the hospital on Friday complaining of chest pains, which doctors determined were caused by a blocked coronary artery.
Buckingham Palace said it does not know yet when Philip will be released.
"The Duke is in good spirits and will remain in hospital under observation for a short period," the palace said.
Prince William and his brother Prince Harry drove in separate cars to Papworth Hospital from Sandringham, Elizabeth's sprawling estate where the royal family gathered to celebrate Christmas.
Prince Andrew's daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, also came to the hospital, along with Princess Anne's children, Zara and Peter.
The 45-minute visit from the royal grandchildren came after Elizabeth's annual, pre-recorded Christmas message to the nation aired. The royal family reportedly watches the broadcast together every year.
Queen Elizabeth visits Philip in hospital
Palace says Prince Philip given heart stent
The theme of her broadcast family was especially poignant with Philip in the hospital recovering. The message was recorded Dec. 9, before Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, went into the hospital.
Wearing a festive red dress, the Queen said the importance of family was driven home by the marriages of two of her grandchildren this year William and Zara. William's royal wedding at Westminster Abbey captivated the world in April, and Zara had a quiet but elegant celebration in July.
The 85-year-old queen has made a prerecorded Christmas broadcast on radio since 1952 and on television since 1957. She writes the speeches herself, and the broadcasts mark the rare occasion on which the queen voices her own opinion without government consultation.
Elizabeth spoke of the strength family can provide during times of hardship and how friendships are often formed in difficult times.
She pointed to the Commonwealth nations as an example that family "does not necessarily mean blood relatives but often a description of a community."
With one notable absence Philip's the royal family kicked off their Christmas earlier Sunday with a traditional morning service at St. Mary Magdelene Church, on the Sandringham Estate.
The huge crowds that gathered outside the church to catch a glimpse of the Queen got an early peek when the royals made a quick private visit to the church ahead of the services. Less than two hours later, they were back in different clothes for the Christmas service.

The Queen arrived first dressed in a lavender-colored coat and hat in a royal limousine, leading the way into the church. Her oldest son, Prince Charles, and his wife, Camilla, trailed behind.
Harry walked in with his brother William and new sister-in-law Kate now known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Kate, whose style is closely watched around the world and who sends any dress she wears flying off the shelves in Britain, wore an eggplant-colored coat and matching hat.
Among the other royals, Zara was joined by her new husband Mike Tindall, an English rugby player.
After the service, local children lined up to give bouquets of flowers to the queen. Thanking each well-wisher, the queen then handed the bouquets to granddaughters Beatrice and Eugenie.
Well-wisher Camilla Fitt, 71, said Charles told her that his father was "very determined" to get well.
"Charles said he is coming on," said Fitt.
The royal family then traveled back to the house for lunch, an integral part of their celebration.
