Posts Tagged 'Khloe Kardashian'
The Kardashian clan took a family vacation to Greece. This isn't your typical enjoyable family vacation, this one is forced for the reality cameras.
Kim and Khloe were not happy about this trip at all. They were so miserable without their men. Both Kanye and Lamar were invited to go on the family vacation but neither could because of work obligations.
A source said that Kim just complained the whole time because she's so over being pregnant. She complained of aches, pains, the humidity and stupid work obligations that prevented her from spending precious time with Kanye.
Well Kanye decided to save his preggo in distress. As soon as the Kardashians wrapped up their filming, he sent a private jet to pick Kim up from Greece and flew her out to Paris to be with him.
Now they are getting to spend more quality time together, hopefully for longer than their last three day reunion. Some are calling this a babymoon but considering that he took her to where he's been working for the past several months, I'm sure he's keeping busy with his music too.
It's been rumored that Kim was going to birth that baby in Paris.. Is this the last leg for her? Is she going to lay low in Paris til that baby comes? It is Kanye's turn to put up with her bitching anyway.
As far as the baby goes, Kim is asking that her friends don't buy them any gifts. Instead, they are asking for donations to Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, where Kanye grew up.
Guess she learned her lesson after she got all of those expensive gifts at her wedding! She doesn't need them because she's ridiculously rich, already getting freebies…. And it'll be easier if she decides that she is over this baby after 72 days.
Leave a commentWho are going to be the judges on this season of X-Factor? Britney Spears and LA Reid are out, along with the host Khloe Kardashian.
Simon Cowell has kept quiet about his plans for this season but there are a lot of rumors going around.
Kelly Rowland might possibly be coming over from the UK X-Factor. She's been a successful judge over there so Simon thinks it may be time to bring her experience to the US.
Another name that is getting thrown around is Jennifer Love Hewitt. She might be best known for her roles in Party of Five and I Know What You Did Last Summer, but she did get her start with a singing career. She was actually a pop star in Japan back in '92. She said that she was so successful there because they were really into perky music at the time. She later released an album during her Party of Five fame. She's released four albums total and a handful of singles.
Never knew that about her. I just thought she was all boobs with a little bit of acting skills.
And Simon is reportedly hot after Reba McIntyre. He thinks the show needs a country flair and wants her to be the ballsy Blake Shelton of the show.
Who would you like to see on the show?
See J.Love's singing skills below.
Leave a commentIn the land of not surprising news, Khloe Kardashian didn't get asked back to host the X-Factor again.
Well some reports say that she was fired, others (likely planted by the Kardashian camp) say that it was a mutual decision because she's got such a busy schedule.
Another rumor is that Mario Lopez and Khloe didn't get along but in all actuality, it's her mother that he couldn't stand.
The source said, "Everyone thinks that Mario hated working with Khloe. But he was nothing but encouraging and supportive (to Khloe). It was her mother Kris who was the problem."
"Kris would go to the producers and say Mario was being pushy and insensitive and she'd often confront Mario directly. There was even a very absurd incident when Kris suggested to the producers that they should dump Mario and replace him with one of her other daughters. Kris claimed that the chemistry between Mario and Khloe just didn't work and that Kim or Kourtney would be a better fit.
Well, the producers agreed with the no chemistry argument, but also that Khloe was in over her head – and that's why she's gone."
Mario will be coming back to host and so far, Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato are the only judges returning for another season.
Leave a commentLots of Kim Kardashian news to cover but I'm saving the best for last though. Ray J served her with a dose of reality.
Kim posted her first bare baby bump pic. Maybe she wanted to show all the haters her bump so they'll quit making fun of her weight.
I wonder how much of that swell is baby and how much of it is the baby's ego… That kid is destined to have a huge butt and ego.
And last night on the season finale of Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, the sisters got into some huge fight because Kim hired a private investigator to follow Scott Disick around. Kim later called up Kourtney in the middle of the night asking for a ride to the hospital. Then she fessed up that she was pregnant and scared to break the news to Khloe. You can watch all that go down below.
Now here's the good stuff. You remember Kim's history with Ray-J, right? Back before Kim was famous, she was a stylist for Brandy. She met Brandy's brother Ray-J and they made a sex tape together. That sex tape (likely brokered by Kris Jenner) is what catapulted the family into fame. And Ray-J has never forgotten his role in Kim's fame. He even texted her on her wedding day to Kris Humphries and said, "And to think you really have me to thank for all this ".
Well now he's releasing a new single about Kim (available on iTunes tomorrow) called "I Hit It First". Here is just a sampling of some lyrics.
"She might move on to rappers and ballplayers / But we all know I hit it first."
"I had her head going North and her ass going South / But now baby chose to go West."
"No matter where she goes or who she knows / She still belongs in my bed."
Ray J is using a Kim lookalike (which could be any of Reggie Bush's exes) in the video and the cover is a blurred out picture of Kim in a bikini on the beach.
So what's going to happen now? Is Kanye going to respond in some rap? Or if the latest rumor is true and Kim and Kanye did breakup, will Kim go back to Ray-J?
CHECK IT OUT! Ray-J takes ownership (AUDIO) and Kim confesses that she's pregnant!

5 Thanksgiving Dinner Ideas
5 Thanksgiving dinner ideas give you a chance to vary the same old Thanksgiving traditions without giving them up completely. Traditionally, turkey has always been the star of the meal but that is when most people only ate turkey once a year. Turkey just happens to be one of the most healthy meats you can eat, so people are having it more often than just on Thanksgiving 5 Thanksgiving dinner ideas include stuffing that has also changed a lot over the years. It used to be made only from soggy stale bread with some liver and seasonings, now with new Thanksgiving dinner ideas it can be the star of the show by being made out of wild rice, or croutons mixed with nuts and seeds and even sometimes a seasonal fruit.
For 5 Thanksgiving Dinner Ideas, you'll need:
- Filet Mignon
- Lobster
- Chilean Sea Bass
- Crown Roast of Pork
- Ham
- Make a bacon wrapped filet mignon for each of your Thanksgiving dinner. This is a very easy steak to make it's almost foolproof. Pan sear each one at high heat and then wrap it in foil and bake it for 45 minutes to an hour. Serve twice baked potatoes with all the trimmings. You can also include a stuffing made with crab meat, cranberry sauce, creamed corn, 7-layer salad, and garlic bread.
- Serve lobster with garlic butter. Include wild brown rice, green beans almondine, parmesan bread sticks, cranberry sauce, and creamy cole slaw for Thanksgiving dinner.
- Bake some Chilean sea bass for your guests and serve it with a fresh lime and butter. Try serving some mashed sweet potatoes, glazed carrot coins with brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, and a pasta salad with a vinaigrette sauce.
- Bake a crown roast with bread stuffing and cranberry sauce. Roasted potatoes, baby peas with pearl onions, and a green salad would be great with the roast. Don't forget the dinner rolls with this meal.
- Use a slow cooker to make a spiral honey ham covered with a maple flavored gravy. Serve glazed sweet potatoes, creamed corn, cranberry sauce, potato salad, and sauerkraut along with dinner rolls for this meal.
You may just want to change the meat itself to one of the choices above and keep the other traditional side dishes or use the suggestions above.
A smoked or Polish sausage makes a great second meat to serve with any of the above.

19 November 2010 16:42 [Source: ICIS news]
TORONTO (ICIS)--A court in Germany on Friday ruled that fertilizer major K+S can continue its practice of storing underground saline waste water that is generated from its potash production.
An administrative state court in Hessen threw out objections from the town of ?xml:namespace>
However, the court in ruled that the underground storage posed no immediate danger to drinking water supplies.
K+S could continue the practice until the expiry of its current permit at the end of 2011, the court ruled.
Water authorities had approved the storage in 2006.
The town's case was based on speculation about an "abstract potential for danger", whereas K+S could rely on an expert assessment by Hessen's environmental and geology office, which did not foresee a negative impact on drinking water supplies, the court said.
Only the prospect of "extreme danger" could have justified the court intervening on behalf of the town, it added.
K+S had suggested earlier that it may build a pipeline to the North Sea to dispose of waste water from its potash mines in central

Austerity measures are causing avoidable illness and death on a major scale, public health experts have shown. In the UK and internationally, harsh cuts in public services and social services are damaging child and adult health and hindering economic recovery, yet some governments are pressing ahead.
UK statistics authority chair Andrew Dilnot has criticised work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith's misleading claims on the impact of capping benefits. This is not the first time that he, and the department he heads, have been found to have misused statistics.
The United Kingdom Independence Party won around a quarter of the votes in wards where it fielded candidates in English local elections. Mainstream parties may be tempted to shift even further to the right in order to win over UKIP voters. But this might end up losing them electoral support, as well as being unjust and deepening rifts in society.
Sections of the UK civil service are to be privatised. Unions have raised concerns about the impact on staff pay and conditions. Such a move also raises serious questions about accountability to the public and democracy.
The Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has urged better-off pensioners not to claim payments such as the winter fuel allowance, free bus pass and TV licence.
The House of Lords has backed regulations promoting privatisation of NHS services in England. An Opposition attempt to overturn the NHS (Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition) (No. 2 Regulations 2013) was defeated by a ruling Coalition majority of over a hundred votes. Holders of NHS budgets are likely to be forced to put more services out to tender, giving lucrative opportunities to private firms even if this harms patient care.
Disability Living Allowance is an "outdated benefit" for which "around 50 per cent of decisions are made on the basis of the claim form alone - without any additional corroborating medical evidence," stated UK minister for disabled people Esther McVey on the BBC and elsewhere this morning (8 April 2013).
Hundreds of millionaire bankers will enjoy an extra £54,000 on average each year from 6 April 2013, thanks to a cut in the top UK tax rate (assuming they pay taxes here and opposition calculations are correct). A massive state bailout previously saved many banks, after their sector triggered an economic crisis in which numerous taxpayers suffered. By coincidence, Mick Philpott – whose crimes are being exploited by the Chancellor and Prime Minister to undermine the principle of social security – also apparently received £54,000 a year from public funds.
The government's war of words against disabled and badly-off people continues unchecked. The latest slurs by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Prime Minister and the Minister for Disabled People suggest that UK politics has become a largely fact-free zone.
Do you go to church on Sundays? Do you have young children who need you to look after them on Saturdays, or adult caring responsibilities for even a few hours a week? If you lose your job in the UK, you might be punished with destitution.

I'm developing a fairly conventional 4.0 web app with some equally conventional code to upload files to a varbinary(max) field in a sql database. Frankly we're not dealing with anything exciting. The users will mostly be authenticated through Active Directory and the most of the machines used will be within a firewall. The most common file will probably be a Doc or a JPEG.
However I'm feeling just a little paranoid. We have hard-coded the app to prevent uploading of EXE files but I wonder if I should do more.
I just found this little gem. http://www.ttu.edu/safecomputing/lubbock/recommended/fileextensions.php
Is this an up-to-date list of potentially dangerous files or does someone have better?
Dec 28, 2012 09:56 PM|LINK
In the past when I've done this I've actually written the code to check the "magic number" for the types of file we allowed. Many file formats have the first few bytes as a well-known pattern to idenitty the file type.
For example, JPG is: ff d8
Dec 29, 2012 02:03 PM|LINK
Interesting, but just to be paranoid again, if it's a malware file how can you trust the 'magic number'?
(Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.)

Sure... unfortunately I don't have a follow-up answer for you. Sorry :)

WI hospitals treating low-income patients aim to cut readmissions
Rajesh Bhargava, a physician at the Aurora Medical Center in Summit, has spent part of the past 2½ years developing a checklist to help prevent patients from ending up back in the hospital. In the Milwaukee area, Aurora Sinai Medical Center and Wheaton Franciscan-St. Joseph Campus, two hospitals that provide care for a disproportionate percent of low-income patients, have low readmission rates. Bhargava and others at Aurora were given the job to develop standardized processes that could be implemented at all of the health system's hospitals. One challenge is developing checklists and designing processes to ensure that a long list of seemingly minor tasks get done. The health system started with a program—Better Outcomes for Older Adults through Safe Transitions, developed by the Society of Hospital Medicine—and then modified it.

Wizards PG John Wall to Return from Knee Injury on Saturday Against Hawks
The Washington Wizards don't have to miss John Wall any longer.
According to Craig Stouffer of the Washington Examiner, Wall is returning to Randy Wittman's lineup:
After three consecutive days of intense practice, the Wizards star point guard's third season in the NBA can finally begin on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks.
"It's the biggest feeling," Wall said after practice on Friday. "You know I haven't played in so long, so I'm going to be anxious and super-excited, so I'll probably get tired in probably 30 seconds, because I haven't played in so long. But it's exciting to be out there with my teammates, have fun and play with the team I wanted to play with all season."
Wall has missed the entire season so far due to a knee injury that bothered him in the offseason.
Saying that the Wizards struggled without their star point guard would be an understatement. Washington has been a middle-of-the-road defensive team and an above-average rebounding team, but it simply hasn't been able to score the basketball.
Much of that has had to do with Wall's absence from the lineup. He's nowhere near a polished player, but he's still the straw that stirs the drink for this squad. His athleticism makes the offense better, and he allows the team to play at the tempo that fits it best.
Without him, Jordan Crawford has been running the point. He's a talented scorer, but he's a natural shooting guard. He's turnover prone, and he doesn't play with a facilitator's mindset.
Wall's return will allow Crawford to return to his regular position and give the backcourt more depth overall. Bradley Beal has been fine as a rookie, but he could use a quality option behind him in the rotation.
Last season, Wall averaged 16.3 points and eight assists per game. He also used his lanky frame to haul down 4.5 rebounds per night. Although he turned the ball over nearly four times per game and struggled with his jumper, he is still one of the league's up-and-coming stars.
Washington isn't going to transform into a playoff contender with Wall back running the point, but it should become more tolerable to watch.
He's an exciting player with devastating open-court ability, and it will be a relief for Wizards fans to see him back on the floor.

The spring seat is a necessary component of your trailer's suspension system. When mounted with 1-3/4" wide leaf springs, it adds extra support and provides proper positioning for the axle.

Bought these along with the UBolt kit for a Coleman popup camper to do an "axle flip" or move the axle from above the springs to below the springs giving 3-4 inches of additional clearance. My popup has a 1.75" axle and Dexter doesn't make prefab kits for that axle. Spring seats had to be welded to my axle, but beyond that, the axle flip worked OUTSTANDING! If you go off road at all with your camper, I can't recommend enough doing this. Should have done it years ago! Spring seats worked great!60459

The parts arrived sooner than I expected, which is a big plus. I welded the pads on to the axle,and assembled it to the spings using the supplied "u" bolts,which fit perfectly.I will recomend you to anyone I know who needs any trailer parts. Thank you, Paul.53882

The yacht tracks for the 2010 race are still available. » replay the 2010 race
There are some wonderful National Geographic images framed of Bermuda Race starts of the past in the Newport Room of the RBYC. This is our press office and not only is it inspiring to overlook the massive field of code flags fluttering in the warm breeze outside, there are illustrated histories of this race all over the walls to help us make some important connections.
One start from 1964 in particular caught my eye. A wave of déjà vu came over me as I stared at the transoms of two or so Bermuda 40 yawls and a number of Albergs and the like laid over on starboard tack, racing past the old Brenton Reef tower. Then it hit me, the finger docks outside today have the same type of transoms, in fiberglass, hanging delicately above the clear water.
Start of 1964 Bermuda Race
The sight of the Sparkman and Stephens beauties Dorade, Isla and Black Watch is breathtaking. These boats have been classics since well before the Hinckley Company decided to create their centerboard yawl out of "frozen snot," the snide reference of shipwrights to the then-new glass construction technique. Now, the Swans, Hinckleys, Columbias and Tartans of the 1960s and '70s have come into their own and are true classics in plastic, joining Isla and her ilk in that rarified atmosphere of antiquity. It's wonderful to see them in Bermuda and as the woodies carry on every two years in the race, this "new" group of classics have their own torch to bear.
What's next for classics in the Bermuda Race? The wider transoms of the 1990s are still a little tough on the eyes, and there really are few around the docks. So how about those duck-tailed IOR transoms of the 1980s? They're starting to look pretty classy, aren't they?

Grocery Deliveries - Ocado vs. the Rest
We've been using Ocado for some time but lately the delivery times on a Thursday evening have become very erratic. Has anyone else experienced this? I would like to know what users of the other suppliers like Sainsbury, Tesco etc. think of their service. We originally used Tesco but there were lots of unsuitable substitutions. Anyone like to share their feedback?
Yes, on the occasions I have had a Friday delivery it comes 2 hours late. Monday around 6pm is always on time so I have the service which reserves you the same slot every week unless you cancel it. Maybe try earlier in the week?
Sainsbury's charges are much higher than Ocado for delivery itself but you may save on the shopping I suppose.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
We're going to try Friday, 4:00-5:00 this week and see how it goes.
The problems on Thursday started when they opened a depot in Wimbledon which is supplied from the original depot in North London - the excuse being that the trailer (delivery) to the Wimbledon depot was delayed.
Sainsbury's as far as I am aware the online service is very good (maybe a little biased as I work for them), another option maybe if you like all the products from Ocado is use Waitrose Home Delivery directly rather than Ocado as they do their own service now on their website, Just a thought.
I stopped using Sainsburys three years ago because at that time the Fulham store was supplying Earlsfield (may have changed so may have improved) and kept getting my order wrong or supplying food which was almost out of date. So I kept getting money off vouchers but actually would have preferred the right food in the first place and not having to ring them up all the time. At that time Sainsburys, like Tescos as well I think, were just sending their staff round to do the shopping for me, so it was rather dependent on the aptitude of the staff. E.g. once I got a very strange veg substitution, fennel for kohlrabi as the person clearly didn't know what a fennel was. And strange meat substitutions e.g. beef brisket instead of steak so unuseable, I switched to ocado and have been very happy with them. Have also lately had problems with lateness in the evenings so now I have a 7.30 am delivery and it is always on time. Keep meaning to use the Waitrose Home Delivery as is free delivery I think? But it depends which store it comes from, as I think it is also shop-picked. My nearest Waitrose is the new one now opened on Alexandra Road where B&Q used to be in Wimbledon. Useless selection of food. Has anyone else noticed this?!
I've been using Sainsbury's (delivering from the Fulham store) for about four years now. Unusual these days to get any substitutions, and extremely rare for them to be late. They also have one hour (rather than two hour) delivery slots which saves you having around for too long. There's rarely anything missing from the order, and if there is the refund is almost immediate. The website has recently been updated and is very easy to navigate through. I did consider trying Waitrose when were we sent an introductory offer, but the selection of fresh food (as opposed to ready meals) was very meagre - and more expensive than Sainsbury's.
And no, I don't work for Sainsbury's....
I used to use Tesco's but as mentioned earlier I got a lot of substitutions and they weren't always similar to what I ordered. After a few late deliveries and then a delivery which never arrived after more than an hour late I called to see what was happening to find out they knew there was a problem and it would be at least another two hours. When I said it was no use as I had to go out my delivery got cancelled with no offer of an alternative delivery slot and no apology. They then took a week to refund the payment to my credit card so needless to say I will not use them again. I have used Ocado for the last two years and have been very pleased, the product life is very good, very few substitions and only one occasion my delivery was delayed. On the delayed delivery they called in advance to advise of the problem and gave me options so I asked to reschedule a morning delivery for early evening and the delivery arrived as promised. I tend to book early morning slots for before I go to work on the theory I will be on the first runs of the day.
I have been using Ocado for a few years now and very happy. Only on occasion have they been late but more often they are on time or early. The quality of food at Ocado is great and they have now introduced speciality departments- Italian, American, organic etc. I am loving the new brands they are carrying.
Once I looked into switching just out of curiosity - First off, I found the other websites (waitrose, sainsbury, etc) harder to navigate than Ocado. I also like that Ocado isn't associated with one of the big supermarkets anymore, their only business is grocery deliveries where the other ones are huge corporations. I think that this shows in the quality of the food, the politeness of the drivers, and general customer service (if they ever forget something or you aren't happy they immediately refund your money- no questions asked) and their ever-growing of selection and variety. Actually once last year my order was late and I had to leave the house- I called Ocado and they immediately deducted the delivery charge and the driver arrived within a few minutes. I am not sure if the other companies do all this but in my opinion I would stick to it and just give them a call so they understand your frustration- maybe you will get a few free deliveries! ;)
I used them thrice and they were late by 1.5hrs on average (worst being 2.5hrs) so I stopped using them as I end up waiting at home and not making any plans for the time slot, only to be told that they cannot honour that slot for some inexplicable reason.
I am so surprised ! I have been using Ocado for about 3 years - one weekly delivery - and I don't think they have ever been late. If anything sometimes they call me to ask me if I want to have a slightly earlier delivery as they are in the area. I have to say that I have been very impressed with their service !
Wow - thanks everyone for a really useful set of responses.
We will probably stick with Ocado but use a different day, for though we have had a problem with deliveries, their customer service has been excellent and they have generally kept us posted about any problems.
How about instead of wasting useless hours hanging around, get of the settee and going to the store and pick up your own shopping! it will be good exercise and save you money. You never know you may also find an alternative to putting your hard earned cash into the bank accounts of multi nationals by discovering a smaller independant store/stall...
You have a point but this is a specific thread on the merits of different deliveries thread. Your post is a bit of a generalisation...people have deliveries for various reasons, not just lazybones types.
I do support indies too, but I avoid taking 3 kids to big supermarkets as they get obsessed with the unhealthy brands (which are all at low level) and generally run amok.
I get my staples delivered (at a time I am always in so no hanging around), loo rolls, washing powder etc and do smaller shops for fresh stuff. The OP may have his own reasons why he likes a delivery too.
Well said Catherine W.! I have two very small children who don't even know what junk food is thanks to being able to avoid those impulse buys instore. My three year old has never eaten a sweet or tried orange squash etc. I do my big shops from ocado, veg and other organics through veg box scheme, plus grow my own veg, which the children help with. Top-ups from Sainsburys Local but only if not available at our fantastic local deli. And instead of spending my afternoons driving to and then wandering round Tescos I take my children to the park, by foot... and have a waistline to prove it, thanks very much.
As this thread is chatting about the variety of services, I thought I might add my tuppence. I run a local, concierge company based in Balham and I have been helping several people with this exact problem. Many parents find waiting in for the shopping delivery to be very useful, but sometimes things change at the last minute and they are no longer available to sign for the delivery. I have been shopping for those people and more for almost 2 and a half years and have not only shopped for the ingredients myself AND delivered it to their door, I have put their shopping away for them too! Deliveries help in many different ways, but you do still have to wait around for them and if they are late, it can be very frustrating. With my service, however, you needn't do either of those things. The delivery can be catered to your schedule, not the delivery driver.
For more information, check out our website at www.houseelf.co.uk or give us a call on 020 8720 7392.
We've used ocado for about 8 years now and have noticed the following changes over the last 3 years, which coincidentally started at the time ocado was floated and was in financial trouble:
- packing was random, ie desserts were always squashed as they were packed with inappropriately large and heavy items
- fridge items such as meat would arrive slightly pierced, either due to poor selection or the driver accidentally piercing whilst carrying in
- the drivers stopped calling 15 minutes before arrival as requested on my notes and when I complained about this I was told that they have had a high turnover and the new drivers still require further training
- substitutions were unrelated and stopped being announced at the door
- perishables would arrive with short expiry dates
- my delivery was originally on a Friday 8-9am and on the whole arrived within that time frame, however when I moved it to Friday 4-5pm, it was late at least twice a month and the communication around the lateness was poor. The text announced the lateness and advised logging in for more info, but once logged in there was no more info! Invariably, calling ocado took a 12 minute call wait! This was at the time that the warehouse moved to Wimbledon.
- recently I had to throw away 2 fridge items 1 week before the expiry date as they had gone rotten
Online shopping for a family of 4 is essential for heavy items and we shop for meat and fresh items nearby. I am currently researching new providers and Waitrose might be an option.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we experienced a number of the things you listed - especially the poor packing and although we got refunds it was still a bit of a pain. The excuse given was that they would give further training to the packers.
We have just switched from Thursday to Friday at the suggestion of one of the drivers and yesterday's delivery was on time - so we'll wait and see.
Thanks to everyone else for their feedback - really useful.
Has anyone used http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk - I'd be interested how good this it?
Perhaps by now they have remedied some of the issues. Worth giving them a try?
As for Sainsburys , if you refuse subsitutions, you hardly get half your order . I was really unhappy when they could not deliver the items on promotion as we had ordered them because they were on promo. ASDA was the same as well ..you spend hours shopping online and then dont get anything !
Am definitely on course to try Ocado or shop directly . Mysupermarket has become too unwieldy to use anymore .
Yes, they have started delivering in SW11

Cursed Village, Kajiado District, Rift Valley Province, Kenya • © Christopher Occhicone
The Maasai are primarily herders. Their cows are their most precious commodity. As sever drought ravaged the country, they burned their village and the carcasses of the cows that died of starvation. They hope that this will remove the curse that has fallen over their land
Homemade Umbrella, Cap-Haitien, Haiti • © Christopher Occhicone
I was working in the streets of Cap-Haitien when it began to rain. Nobody had an umbrella and most settled for a shower cap or plastic bag. I saw this little girl pick up a folding chair a street vendor had abandoned. When we made eye contact, I think we were both equally amused by her homemade umbrella. I think this photograph speaks to the ability of the Haitian people to be creative and adapt to very difficult situations - usually with a smile.

In 1991 Michelle left her pastoral position to found Northern Praise Ministries, a Canadian organization which supports Christians in music. One particularly great accomplishment was to be executive producer on Deborah Klassens magnificent Juno Award winning CD, Legacy of Hope. Deborah, along with many other wonderful Canadian artists, are some of Michelles best and dearest friends.
Ordained with Gospel Crusade of Canada, International, Michelle is an energetic, wisdom filled, motivational speaker and singer, who is known for her authenticity and her ability to stir up faith, passion and purpose in the hearts of her listeners. Michelle has a passion for those less fortunate around her. This is inspired by her younger son Paul, who, although diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, is the joy and character maker of Michelle's life! Michelle sat on the Board of Directors for Community Living in Oakville for three years and is acutely aware of the struggles of the poor, disadvantaged and disabled in Canada.
Michelles keen and zany sense of humour has seen her through many challenges and difficulties. Her on stage persona has been compared to that of Lucille Ball, but the message of Christ always come through in strength and clarity! Her latest endeavour, her first book, Adventures with Jesus YIKES! is now available.
Her diversity of gifts has indeed led to many adventures, some of which include: writing four plays showcasing Canadian talent, three of which have been performed at The Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts; producing many high end events and raising substantial funds for various organizations; writing two full Bible College courses Music and the Church and The Power of Love & Unity, and; helping many people on a spiritual level in their daily struggles with life, through pastoral love and care.
In December, 2005 Michelle released, Favourite Hymns , a beautiful collection of hymns of old, produced in simplicity and integrity. The only musical accompaniment is provided by Danny Weis on guitars. Danny is best known for his work as musical director for Bette Midlers movie The Rose. In December 2006, a dynamic praise & worship cd, Jesus Loves Me was released, again featuring the R&B, gospel sound of Danny Weis. In December 2007, a compilation Christmas CD featuring Michelle, Deborah Klassen, Carol Weicker, Mary Saxton Rush and Michele Finney, entitled "It's Christmas!" was made available for your Christmas enjoyment and celebration.
Michelle has the full and loving support of her husband of 40 years, Ian. Michelle and Ian attend two churches, one in southern Ontario and one in their hometown of Sundridge, where they were raised and enjoy their cottage on Lake Bernard. Mike, their older son, is a professional jazz musician and resides in Brooklyn, NY.
Michelle welcomes speaking, teaching, worship leading and singing engagements for all events. Michelle is available to travel anywhere in the world and is excited to see where God will take her!
"Michelle Sim - living life, one adventure at a time!"

Old QandO
Peter Wehner
The Health Care Presser
I loved a tweet that Jon Henke sent out last night during the Obama health care press conference. It had me laughing – "Shorter Obama: you're either with us or against us".
In reality the press conference was the retelling of the same old nonsense. We're going to expand the insurance system, require everyone be taken, no pre-existing conditions, no dropping you or denial of service. We'll pay for it by finding some savings in waste, fraud and abuse, do health care delivery better than anyone else has ever done it, tax the rich and do it all – every bit of it – cheaper than it's being done now, because we're the government and we're the experts in efficiency.
Tell me that wasn't the crux of the presser? Anyone left wondering why the majority of Americans are skeptical?
And of course we had the usual canards out there. The claim that preventive medicine is cheaper than medicine as it is being practiced now. Take a moment to read this post by a doctor who lays out the con in minute detail. Here's another view. Here's a fact no one seems willing to deal with – the vast majority of all health care costs come in the last 6 months of life. No one has beaten death yet. Ergo that fact isn't going to change unless the entity with the money refuses to pay up. So while preventive care may extend life, the cost of preventive care is more expensive and the end result remains the same.
As for paying for it, the whole appeal, of course, was to give the allusion to the middle class that he and the Dems were all for soaking the rich to cover the cost, even talking about how taxing millionaires met his "principle" on that.
But as Mickey Kaus points out, you have to listen carefully:
I don't want that final one-third of the cost of health care to be completely shouldered on the backs of middle-class families who are already struggling in a difficult economy. And so if I see a proposal that is primarily funded through taxing middle-class families, I'm going to be opposed to that …
Kaus points out that those two words, in "Wash-speak" mean he's open to a middle-class tax to pay for the "new" and "improved" health care (49% isn't "primarily", right?).
And then there's the dawning understanding around much of the country that this isn't about reforming health insurance at all (something that might be appealing to most). It is about a fundamental change in how health care is delivered. As the Republicans have begun saying, it is "experimenting" with your health care.
Can I guarantee that there are going to be no changes in the health-care delivery system? No. The whole point of this is to try to encourage changes that work for the American people and make them healthier. And the government already is making some of these decisions. More importantly, insurance companies right now are making those decisions. And part of what we want to do is to make sure that those decisions are being made by doctors and medical experts based on evidence, based on what works. Because that's not how it's working right now. That's not–that's not how it's working right now.
Yes the government is already making some of those decisions. And the unfunded liabilities of the government system threaten to bankrupt us.
But the point remains that peppered all through the statement and answers was the phrase "health care delivery". That is one of the things driving down the approval ratings on the legislation. Its one thing to say, "hey we're going to eliminate pre-existing conditions, portability issues and denial of service while making sure everyone has insurance". It is an entirely different thing to say "we're going to tinker with and change the way your health care is delivered".
Now suddenly the government is in territory few want it in. And that's the overreach that Obama and the Democrats have committed that is driving the health care legislation approval numbers down. Which gets us into the politics of this.
Obama said "this isn't about me". But in fact it is all about him and maintaining his credibility. But his problem, as usual, is he's outsourced his signature agenda item to Congress. Peter Wehner discusses the result:
On virtually every important issue — from the stimulus package, to cap-and-trade, to health care, to taxes, and more — Obama is ceding the agenda to the barons on Capitol Hill. And they will lead him over a cliff.
Why this is taking place is hard to know. It may be that Obama and Company are over-learning the lessons of the Clinton and Carter years, when relations with Democrats on the Hill were strained. It may be that Obama doesn't like to immerse himself in the nitty-gritty of policy and is more comfortable deferring to those who do. It may be that the liberals on the Hill actually reflect what Obama himself — whose record as a legislator was, after all, markedly liberal — favors. It may be that Obama's lack of experience is now showing through. Or it might be a combination of all four.
Regardless of the cause, the result will be damaging, and maybe even debilitating, to the Obama administration. All the campaign's promises — about practicing a new brand of politics, finding middle ground, embodying hope and change — seem so old, so dated, and so cynical. Obama is turning out to be Salesman-in-Chief. But what he's trying to peddle — an unusually liberal agenda and legislation that ranges from ineffective to downright harmful and reflects the desires of leading Congressional Democrats rather than the needs of the country — ain't selling.
No, it's not, thus the reason for the presser. As I pointed out yesterday, it is obvious at points he has no idea what is or isn't in the bill. But what he does have a firm grasp on are his talking points, even if, as the days and weeks go by, they're shot away or, at best, left hanging tattered and limp.
Speaking of politics, I love the attempt to take on the Republicans as the bad guys (one of the main Democratic talking points for days has been that the Republicans have brought no alternative to the table) and then this:
So, for example, in the HELP committee in the Senate, 160 Republican amendments were adopted into that bill, because they've got good ideas to contribute.
I'm not noting this with particular approval, I'm simply noting how this gives lie to the talking point.
To conclude, for anyone who has looked into the issue and followed the debate, such that is has been, Obama's performance was anything but impressive. It was a mix of tired talking points and a con job – careful rhetoric that implied one thing while really saying something else (the middle-class tax increase being a perfect example).
But that doesn't mean that some form of health care legislation won't pass. I think, unfortunately, it will. And that is all about him and politics and he knows it. So do the Democrats. Clinton, Reagan, and GW Bush all passed their signature legislation before the first August recess in their first term. That isn't going to happen in Barack Obama's case. But he and the Democrats know that something they can call health care reform must pass or, as Obama is reported to have said, it will destroy his presidency.
To our eternal sorrow the fact that he's right means the Democrats will do whatever is necessary to pass something to maintain his viability.

I was disappointed that the pendant only came with a 16" chain.

After calling, I was told that it does not come in any other chain size. The 16" chain is not long enough.

Unfortunately there are many ruined memorial churches through out Germany. This one is in the area of a few other things so is worth looking at, but if its rainy/cold I wouldn't go out of my way.
Unfortunately there are many ruined memorial churches through out Germany. This one is in the area of a few other things so is worth looking at, but if its rainy/cold I wouldn't go out of my way.
Words cannot describe the experience of standing "inside" this church, a silent meorial of the devastation of war. It is a humbling experience and for me the most remarkable site in Hannover.
This is one of the must see places in Hannover. We visited it as part of the City of Hannover sponsored tour.
Quite a somber attraction. Previously bombed during WW2 and not rebuilt. Good photos to be taken. No charge. Only needs a few minutes from your timetable
it is a nice piece of architecture witch has been destroyed during WWII. so it does not have roof and windows. we were lucky and we saw a wonderful performance art there. it has a weird ambiance you should go and feel it there
This church is a very nice piece of architecture. Though it is a small one but has got a history. Worth visiting.
If you don't speak/read German or take a guided tour, it may be hard to understand what some of the symbolism of the church is, such as the "shadow line" that falls across the floor of the church ruins. It is an artistic representation of the fleeting nature of life, of its fragility. The line follows the shadows of the... More
This is good to see some rich history in Hannover. It is a short visit, but an interesting one. I would read up on the church before I went so you can understand the context.
A beautiful 14th century church, destroyed in World War 2. Now a war memorial with the Hiroshima peace bell
This is one of the churches bombed and destroyed during WW II by Allied bombs that has been left as a memorial to the horrors of the war. Currently (August 2011) it is undergoing renovation/stabilization of the ruins. It is not something I would make a special visit to but it is worth walking by and contemplating. Once the construction... More

Recently, there's been an heigtened demand for organic products, particularly for organic baby products. Parents naturally want the best for their babies and organic baby stores in Ripley stock everything they need to keep their little ones happy and healthy.
Ripley organic baby stores market products that have no toxins and chemicals. So the biggest benefit of organic baby products is that they're healthier and have a reduced risk of triggering side effects like allergic reactions.
Eco-conscious parents also enjoy the fact that organic baby products are also better for the environment. Cotton used to create fabric for organic baby clothes, for instance, are not treated with incesticides and chemicals that affect far more than the cotton crop.
Products in Ripley Organic Baby Stores
As more parents come to realize the importance of choosing organic, many more organic baby products are being sold in stores across the United States. These days, parents can purchase an organic option for nearly anything.
In-demand organic baby products include:
- Baby clothes
- Toys
- Baby food
- Bedding
- Bath products
- Diapers
- Lotions and Creams
- Powder
Makers can only label their baby products organic if they have gained organic certification. One thing to remember is that unlike organic products, 'all natural' products are not regulated by the FDA. Parents that are considering an 'all natural' product should carefully look over the ingredients and/or label to decide whether an organic option is a better choice.
Well Known Organic Baby Stores in Ripley
Burt's Bees is a popular brand of personal organic products, including organic baby products. Their products can be found in major stores across the U.S. such as Target.
Baby Earth is an online organic baby store that features all natural and organic baby products from various providers.
Whole Foods Market has been a top provider of organic products since 1980, and there isn't a shortage of organic baby products in their stores.
The Organic Consumers Association and the Organic Information Center are also wonderful resources for researching various organic products and services, including organic baby stores.
Investing in organic products, especially hygiene and food products, when children are in the initial stages of development is an investment worth making. As organic baby products increase in popularity parents can expect to find more local and online organic baby stores in Ripley to shop at and more affordable prices as well.

Originally, a big selling point for Blu-ray was that it would arrive as a complete system - that is, the first units would both record and play high-definition DVDs.

Bottom 8 NBA teams next year?
I would guess since the Magic trade, things are gonna settle down roster-wise so what do you think? I say it will be;
1.) Bobcats
3.) Magic
5.) Portland (I am being honest at least)
6.)New Orleans
8.) Sacramento
You can probably put Phoenix in that group unless you believe Beasley's proclamation that he will be an All-Star this season. After missing out on Eric Gordon, they're likely in rebuilding mode.
I disagree about Portland, but the others mentioned should be at the bottom. good list
warriors. just because i'm sure banking on curry and bogut to have another injury plagued season
Notable players not inducted, but who arguably could be in the foreseeable future, include Robert Horry, who won 7 rings with three different teams, Alonzo Mourning, one of the greatest shot-blockers of all-time, and Bernard King, an unstoppable and beloved New York Knick legend.
The Atlanta Hawks are currently on a five-season playoff streak, but will enter the 2012-13 campaign with only five players on the roster from last season. Gone are dependable veterans such as Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams via offseason trades. In their place are at least eight players who are entering contract years.
You can't put too much stock in a preseason game as it is an entirely different environment, but growth from game to game is always a nice development. With a majority of the preseason left to play, it will be on head coach Doc Rivers to make sure he puts Lee in spots where he will be most comfortable.y435t43
Jason Terry is much more comfortable in the sixth man role, so there is no need to mess with that. Besides him, there are really no other pure guards that you can count on as Dionte Christmas and Jamar Smith are far too unproven to warrant meaningful minutes at this juncture.hfdg3434
I always felt Lee would be the type of player that would fit in seamlessly with a new team, especially a team with championship aspirations. He doesn't always need the ball in his hands and has always been a willing defender, dating back to his days at Western Kentucky.rety3434
afI always felt Lee would be the type of player that would fit in seamlessly with a new team, especially a team with championship aspirations. He doesn't always need the ball in his hands and has always been a willing defender, dating back to hisqer23 days at Western Kentucky.
Once upon a time, Green was considered arrogant, but obviously he's come a long way since being drafted by Boston in 2005. Today, he's an integral part of one of the Eastern Conference's most promising teams, and there might not be a single player in the entire league more grateful for his opportunity.['9809789

Funny Signs – Pee & Poo Restaurant
July 26, 2012 at 12:49 am , by Martyn
The photograph is a funny sign displayed at a restaurant in Thailand and goes against the chain of thought that marketing is very important in any kind of business. A brand needs to have the right name and in the restaurant game choosing a name which says something about a restaurant's beautiful setting, style of cuisine or ambiance can go a long way to attracting new customers to dine there. Then again, the Pee & Poo Steak House definitely has a name with a lot of novelty value.
Pee and Poo?….. in Thailand they are quite common nicknames and I think the restaurant's name has definite appeal and is a sound marketing idea. Whether that was intentional or not I have no idea.
How do you rate this funny restaurant sign? Click on the five-star picture rating below.

In a blog post earlier this week, I gave a "Gear Nod" of approval to LaCrosse Alpha Lite rubber hunting boots. They're inexpensive, awesome all-season rubber boots. So, you better believe I was thrilled to receive an e-mail today with an early look at the LaCrosse AeroHead ... the new rubber boot on the block for 2013.
Here are some of the first publicly available images of the AeroHead:
The boot uses LaCrosse's new "AeroForm" technology. The goal is to revolutionize rubber hunting boots as we know them by (yet again) increasing comfort, flexibility and durability. Watch the video below to learn more about AeroForm.
According to Taylor Towne, my source at LaCrosse, the AeroHead was "tested over 4,000 miles to find little to no wear and consistent comfort and performance." The boot will retail for $130-$140.
I'll share more details about the AeroHead as soon as possible, so check back at my blog often.

Host of the Conspiracy Skeptic podcast and the OKCupcast: Online Dating for Nerds as well as co-host of the Ask A Canadian podcast (each week bringing you 45 minutes of your life you'll never get back). Field Marshal of the Goudeau Army (Canadian Eastern Command)
And I seem to have backed into being the leading skeptical authority on the Aetherius Society.
My Official Biography
Karl Mamer is a real, live Canadian. Not a simulation. He lives in the most un-Canadian part of Canada after Windsor, Ontario: Toronto. Karl is at least 45 years old. Because Canadians have largely lost the ability (or desire) to reproduce, 45 is considered young for a Canadian. He is 5'8" tall. Due to Canada being a largely winter-locked nation, most Canadians keep their socially polite extremities (legs, arms) short and tucked into specially evolved skin flaps. So 5'8" is considered very tall among his countrymen. Karl lived in the USA for several years, and Karl is well aware of what Americans are capable of. American women were not all charmed by his exotic Canadian accent, and he's rather bitter about that. Karl apologizes unreservedly for this bitterness towards American women but would enjoy if one of you finally got off your ass and married him.

European Commission
Press release
Luxembourg, 4 October 2012
Putting victims first: New European law improving rights for victims of crime has been adopted
European Commission Vice-President Viviane Reding, the EU's Justice Commissioner, today welcomed the final adoption of a new European law which will improve rights for an estimated 75 million crime victims across the EU each year. The EU directive on victims' rights was adopted today by the Council of Ministers, following an overwhelming majority vote (611 for, 9 against and 13 abstentions) by the European Parliament endorsing the new rules (MEMO/12/659). The new EU directive sets out minimum rights for victims, wherever they are in the EU (see IP/11/585).
"The criminal justice systems of the EU Member States have sometimes been too focused on the criminal and not enough on the victim. With this new European law, we will strengthen the rights of victims. Nobody wants to fall victim to a crime, but if it happens, people should be safe in the knowledge they will have the same basic rights everywhere in the European Union," said Vice-President Viviane Reding, the EU's Justice Commissioner. "Every year, an estimated 15% of Europeans or 75 million people in the European Union fall victim to a crime. And with 12 million Europeans living in another EU country and citizens making 1 billion journeys within the EU every year, this new European law will help to reduce suffering for scores of people. This is an historic achievement and a strong signal that Europe is delivering on the rights of citizens."
The EU directive on minimum standards for victims was tabled by the Commission in May 2011 (IP/11/585 and MEMO/11/310). Today's adoption by the Council of the EU follows a plenary vote in the European Parliament (MEMO/12/659). This came after the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers reached an agreement in June following intense negotiations mediated by the European Commission. Following publication of the directive in the EU's Official Journal, Member States will have three years to implement the provisions into their national laws.
The new EU Directive on minimum standards for victims will ensure that, in all 27 EU countries:
victims are treated with respect and police, prosecutors and judges are trained to properly deal with them;
victims get information on their rights and their case in a way they understand;
victim support exists in every Member State;
victims can participate in proceedings if they want and are helped to attend the trial;
vulnerable victims are identified – such as children, victims of rape, or those with disabilities – and are properly protected;
victims are protected while police investigate the crime and during court proceedings.
