Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said Sunday that the Bush's administration's erroneous belief that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was not the only reason for invasion, but it was "the big one."
"I think the concern I had was that the information we had was imperfect," Rumsfeld told CNN's Candy Crowley.
"It was more than imperfect," Crowley interrupted. "Some of it was just flat wrong."
An Iraqi defector, codenamed Curveball, who allegedly helped convince the Bush administration that Saddam Hussein had a secret stash of biological and chemical weapons, admitted this week that he made it all up.
Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi told The Guardian that he invented the stories to help topple Saddam Hussein, but was shocked when the US used tales as an excuse to go to war.
"Well, the intelligence community talks to hundreds of people," Rumsfeld explained. "They have human assets such as this man. Some are honest. Some are dishonest. Some do it for money and some do it for self-aggrandizement and some just lie."
"Did anyone say 'give me the person who gave the intelligence' because sitting here listening to you, to me, the fault of the war was the intelligence community — the false premise of the war?" Crowley asked.
"Well, first of all, there were a variety of reasons for the war, not simply WMD," Rumsfeld replied. "If you looked at the resolution from the Congress, there were multiple reasons, and if you looked at the UN resolution, there were multiple reasons so it wasn't a sole reason."
"But it was the big one," Crowley observed.
"No question it was the big one," Rumsfeld agreed.
"I think probably people would argue to you that we wouldn't have gone in had we said 'no, they didn't have weapons of mass destruction,'" Crowley noted.
"I think that's probably right. A great many people would not," Rumsfeld admitted.

Game of Thrones Is Getting the Met Treatment
On a panel about medieval arms and armor.
With its plethora of boobs and beheadings, Game of Thrones would fit in perfectly at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Now it's getting a panel there on December 2: In "Dressed to Kill: Arms and Armor From Medieval Knights to Game of Thrones," costume designer Michele Clapton will discuss the creative process behind the show's distinctive armor, alongside artist Miya Ando and museum curator Pierre Terjanian. Could this be a preview of an upcoming Met Gala theme? Maybe not, but we just really want to see Anna Wintour in Daenerys hair.

Sun damage is a cumulative process, meaning that every moment of exposure has a long-term impact. Overexposure to the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause burns, diseases, and cancers—substantially contributing to mortality rates in fair-skinned populations. The severity of skin cancer is real; there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined figures for lung, breast, prostate, and colon cancers each year. Helping to protect against sunburn and skin cancer, sunscreen is a topical product that absorbs or reflects the sun's UV light. It is important to consider the global impact of sunscreens and the scientific and engineering principles of this skin-care product. There have been recent advances in photoprotection, including the development of broad-spectrum sunscreen and the sun protection factor. Although sunscreens have been in use for over 70 years, their health applications are still being explored.
Our sun—the most powerful entity in our corner of the universe—is dangerous. Almost everyone comes into contact with its rays every day. Whether you are walking your dog around the block or watching a 3-hour college football game in the stands at a stadium, your skin is at risk. It is well-known that solar radiation is harmful; you have probably taken a few precautions in the past to protect yourself from the sun's intensity by wearing brimmed hats, polarized sunglasses, or high-SPF sunscreens (see Fig. 1). For many, lathering on sunscreen lotion may seem like a chore. But what exactly are you "applying liberally" to your body? How much protection does sunscreen really have to offer against sunburn and skin cancer, and how long will these safeguards last? The answers to these questions can be found by considering the scientific and engineering principles behind the $1.9 billion industry skin-care product: sunscreen.
A Harmful Sun
Natural sunlight contains, among other things, ultraviolet photon particles of light. These photons are shorter in wavelength and contain more energy than visible light, giving them the ability to cause DNA damage in skin cells. Ultraviolet radiation is broken down into the following three types of wavelengths:
Stilfehler/Wikimedia Commons
- Ultraviolet, Type A (UVA)
- Ultraviolet, Type B (UVB)
- Ultraviolet, Type C (UVC)
On the Earth's surface, we are exposed to UVA (wavelength 315-400 nm) and UVB (280-315 nm) photons; the UVC (100-280 nm) rays are completely absorbed by the atmosphere and never reach us. The longer wavelength UVA rays cause tanning and penetrate the deeper layers of skin, while the shorter wavelength UVB rays damage DNA and are the primary cause of sunburn and skin cancer. Since UV radiation falls outside of the visible light spectrum (rays between wavelength 400-700 nm), the human eye cannot perceive UV rays. Humans are also unable to feel UV radiation, leaving the body vulnerable with no mechanism to warn itself against overexposure.
The Sun's Effects on Our Skin
Our skin is highly susceptible to critical damage from the sun's ultraviolet rays; any exposure to UVA or UVB light can alter or damage it. Without protection, long-term exposure to natural sunlight inflicts damage on the skin cells, causing them to tan, burn, and peel.
Although a suntan is often considered an "emblem of good health," tanning for its own sake has no health benefit and is actually a health hazard [1]. Tanning is your skin's defense mechanism against the sun, and any change to your natural skin color is a sign of skin damage. When your skin is exposed to moderate levels of radiation, a chemical reaction in its cell system occurs. Your skin protects its complex structure of sensitive cells by producing a brownish pigment, called melanin, which absorbs and reflects UV rays, dissipating the energy as harmless heat. This is one of the reasons you heat up in the sun. Special pigment-producing cells called melanocytes manufacture these color capsules and send them to the surface of your skin, causing a "tanned" skin tone.
Dark-skinned people tan more quickly than fair-skinned people because dark skin already contains more melanin; because they have less melanin in their skin to serve as protection from the burning rays of the sun, fair-skinned people burn more easily [2]. Although tanning triggers your body's manufacture of melanin, the body requires days or weeks to build up its supply, and if you are in the sun for an extended period of time, burning may occur.
As anyone who has had a sunburn knows, this localized skin injury leaves the skin red and in agonizing pain. A sunburn really is cellular damage caused by overexposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Attempting to cool the heated skin area, your body increases its blood flow to the surface of the skin, so it can be cooled by evaporation and then returned to cool the internal organs, similar to the way a car radiator system works. Sometimes so much blood is pumped to the surface of the skin that it pushes through the thin walls of your blood vessels and permeates the other tissues, causing your skin to take on a reddish color. Your skin's immune system then releases chemicals like histamine and serotonin, which trigger inflammation and the production of additional chemical compounds. Within 12 hours, skin cells begin to die, and the inflammation turns the skin a darker red [3].
Wikioogle=world take over/Wikimedia Commons
After sunburn, your body will want to get rid of its damaged skin cells. Peeling is the abrupt acceleration of natural cell replacement, which causes gobs of dry skin to curl up and flake off (as shown in Fig. 2). This process is necessary because the damaged skin cells are at risk of "losing control" and becoming cancerous. The skin peel is a result of a mass "cell suicide," or apoptosis, in which all damaged skin cells are instructed to die and be replaced by new cells underneath those layers. Sometimes, however, UV rays may damage the repair mechanisms and prevent the cells from "committing suicide," thus allowing cancerous cells to replicate.
Cancer Risks
Skin cancer, the uncontrolled growth of skin cells, is the most common cancer in the world today, and the number of cases worldwide continues to increase each year. This year alone, over 1.3 million Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer, and one out of every five Americans will be afflicted with skin cancer at least once during their lifetime [4].
Repeated exposure to UV rays can cause cancerous mutations such as malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Melanoma is a skin tumor that develops in the melanocytes—pigment producing cells in the skin—and has a very high tendency to spread to other parts of the body. A study at the Anerson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, concluded that about 1 in 105 Americans will develop melanoma, and 20 percent of those afflicted will die from the disease [5].
Interestingly, malignant melanoma has been found more frequently in sunscreen users than in non-users in some studies. This is because some sunscreens only work to prevent skin damage caused by UVB radiation but allow damage from UVA radiation to go unchecked. By preventing the pain and redness of sunburn, sunscreen may actually cause people to obliviously immerse themselves in skin-scorching sunlight for longer periods, resulting in more exposure to UVA radiation and putting users at a higher risk of developing melanoma.
Prevention: How Sunscreen Works
Many of the sunscreens available in the U.S. today combine several different active chemical ingredients in order to provide broad-spectrum protection by blocking both UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreens with broad-spectrum protection are effective in preventing sunburn and skin cancer. Sunscreens work by absorbing the UV radiation in the chemical bonds of their ingredients (see Fig. 3). Different brands of sunscreen contain different combinations of active ingredients that work together to minimize the impact of harmful rays. Some of these ingredients will deflect the UV light while others absorb it.
As their ingredients absorb UV energy, sunscreens begin to deteriorate and lose effectiveness. Thus, sunscreen must be applied before sun exposure in order to bind to the skin, and then be reapplied every two hours (regardless of their assigned SPF) in order to be effective in preventing skin cancer and sunburn. Sunblock, on the other hand, remains on the surface of the skin to reflect the UV radiation. The agents in sunblock—titanium oxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) —reflect the UV light so that it does not reach the skin. Since it does not require time to bind to the skin, sunblock is very effective in blocking all types of UV rays immediately upon application. However, because it remains on the skin's surface, it is easily removed by friction from towels or clothing, perspiration, or other usual daily activities.
The ability of sunblock to protect the skin from UV rays depends on its Sun Protection Factor, which appears on sunscreen labels as "SPF." SPF is a worldwide standard for measuring the effectiveness of a sunscreen's ability to prevent UVB radiation from damaging the skin. The higher the SPF, the more protection a sunscreen will provide against UVB radiation and sunburn. For example, if it takes 20 minutes for your unprotected skin to start turning red, using an SPF 15 sunscreen will prevent the reddening by 15 times—or for about five hours. SPF 15 blocks 93% of all incoming UVB rays, SPF 30 blocks 97% and SPF 50 blocks 99% [6]. As you can see, no sunscreen can block all UV rays.
Because the SPF only accounts for UVB rays, certain sunscreens may not protect against UVA rays, which are known to cause photoaging, wrinkles, brownspots, and melanoma. Because of this curtailed protection, these sunscreens do not necessarily prevent skin cancer. To deliver true broad-spectrum protection, products must block UVA radiation in addition to UVB radiation.
Despite its dangers to skin cells, the sun is an important ally when it comes to good health. Optimal physical and mental wellbeing requires some degree of exposure to the sun. Ultraviolet light enables the body to produce Vitamin D, a vital substance that works against the formation of tumors and aids in the absorption of calcium. Some scientists have suggested that short periods of unprotected sun exposure are beneficial and will enhance the body's Vitamin-D-production capabilities [2]. Not only does sunlight strengthen the body to combat disease, but it also boosts mental and emotional defenses against depression and fatigue. Bell Labs, Inc. has demonstrated sunlight to be a significant factor in maintaining a healthy mood and energy level [4].
The scientific and engineering principles of sunscreen illustrate a solution with global impact, prolonging the lives of many by deterring skin cancer development. Utilizing chemical properties, sunscreen protects the skin by absorbing harmful UV radiation, effectively screening out the sun's rays. New sun-care technologies such as the Sun Pill™, a convenient daily-dose tablet that has been developed to offer medicinal protection from the sun, can minimize the sun's harmful effects easily. By practicing routine skin protection, we can aim for a healthy level of sun exposure, a practice to be enjoyed in moderation.

Minotaur(back view) by PhoenixWing20Watch
Here is one of the next many of the Greek mythological creatures done in spore.
Backstory of the Minotaur:
On the island of Crete lived a very powerful king called King Minos. The minotaur was created to punish King Minos for trying to outwit Poseidon. Every year King Minos must contribute one of his finest bulls to the Sea god Poseidon for trying to out smart him. One year one of his herd produced a calf so perfect he did not want to part with it. SO instead he tried giving a fake one to Poseidon. Well that didn't work out so Poseidon basically said"ok u like your bull so much I am going to make your wife lust for your bull."So his wife falls in love and what she does is disguise herself as a cow. The bull falls for it and begins to mate her. 9 months later she gives birth to the Minotaur. Half man half bull. Now in this labyrinth which King Minos had the worlds best known builder(at that time)the Minotaur was sent there. And every 9 years I believe it was 7 young male virgins and 7 young female virgins are sent to the labyrinth as a sacrifice to the Minotaur. In which then it would devour those sacrifices.

When heatworld went too far...
What made me really mad yesterday though is that my beloved trashy destination had taken one step too far over the bitchy line, leaving the comical observations behind in favour of pure unnecessary bitterness. We all know they love to point out TOWIE stars bad tan lines, Britney's patchy roots and pull apart Michelle Heaton's outfits, but just being a cowbag for the sake of it...? Not good heatworld, not good at all. If you want to read the offending piece then you can do so here. Needless to say the first line gives you a pretty good introduction to how the rest of the 'article' pans out: "Dear oh dear, Abbey Clancy, what on earth have you done to your face?" And that was probably the least insulting line of the lot.
The article was the third installment in the Glamour Awards outfit dissection, namely the 'bad' category. Normally this means a character from TOWIE flashing some minge, a soap star decorating herself in more diamantes than a Swarovski factory or a WAG attempting to rock a catwalk look and failing miserably. What I didn't expect to see was actually a pretty good range of decent outfits that would've otherwise been plopped in the 'good' pile... Heatworld are you now slating women just for the sake of it? Exhibit 1: "Alexandra Burke wore a printed Delia Covezzi gown, but she might aswell have just bought a cheap white dress and asked a child to chew the end of a biro until it exploded all over it." What about saying that it was a lovely, simple chic dress that flattered her figure and nodded to the on-trend patterns we've seen coming through from the catwalk this season? Nope, you want to make her feel like she's wearing a Primark dress that someone has conveniently styled with a felt tip. Ok then...
Exhibit 2: "Amanda Holden, dress your age please! You look like a 15 year old going to a prom in your white lace Jacques Azagury dress." Really, you used the 'dress your age' line? For a woman in her 40s I think she's looking pretty fabulous - if I had a figure like her at my age I'd be over the flipping moon. You don't praise her for her classic style choice, her stylish accessories or how she wears white so well considering it's such a hard colour to pull off? Nope, you choose to pull her apart and compare her to mutton dressed as lamb. Exhibit 3: "Alesha Dixon went for the most mullety of all mullet dresses (which are our new-found fashion hatred anyway), which looked like it was from an Eastend market stall... The gold caged sandals and long necklaces put the finishing bad touches to the outfit." Ok, so I may not like the dress myself, but she's worn a lot worse. A LOT worse. She's paying tribute to the floral and dip-hem trends, looks uber beautiful and has legs to die for. As for the sandals, I've got some quite similar myself so whatcha sayin?
Exhibit 4: "Tess Daly chose a bizarre printed grey, black and silver dress... It's all a bit too matchy-matchy for our liking, so combined with the dress being just plain hideous it's a complete disaster." A complete disaster? A. Complete. Disaster. How absolutely dare someone match their shoes to their bag, let alone even attempt to wear a dress with a PATTERN on it. Have they never read Vogue? Hang on a minute, have YOU ever read Vogue? This is where I actually had to stop reading and rub my eyes to make sure I wasn't dreaming; heatworld had really just started being a complete bitch just for the sake of making content. They crossed a line and started throwing insults in an attempt to be comical, forgetting the fact that we're all free to wear what we like and not be put in the stocks for choosing to do so.
Who made them judge, jury and executioner? There's one thing pointing out a Bjork-esque fashion fail, but picking fault in everything just to make themselves feel like a fashion writer is not the same thing. We're all supposed to be in this together, sticking up for our own freedom of expression and not putting eachother down because we dared to match our accessories. There was a massive backlash some time ago against magazines pointing out cellulite and love handles, so how is this any different? Reading the article I felt mortified for every single one of the ladies featured because they actually all look awesome in their own way. None of them have made a hideous fashion faux pas, none of them have flashed their knickers and there's not a nipple in sight. Why the absolute hatred and bitterness heatworld?
The person that wrote this could possibly be on their period, found out their cat got run over and lost a winning lottery ticket on the same day, but is that really a reason to put out such hateful and bitchy comments and classify it as entertainment journalism? I for one can say it's neither entertaining nor journalism. It's taking easy pops at people while sitting behind your computer being critical... In the blogging world we'd call you a troll. We all like a little bitch, to pick apart outfits and make ourselves feel better by putting celebrities down, but as a site read by many young and impressionable women you're saying it's fine to be a complete cow because it's funny. Finding faults in people for the sake of it will do nothing for the confidence of young women today, with so much pressure already apparent to look right and have the catwalk clothes they lust after. It would've been so easy to put a positive spin on this or even actually pick some outfits that were bad (maybe there weren't any, but that's ok) but instead they took the easy way out.
I want to know who read and approved this, believing it was what their publication wanted to be putting out there. I tweeted this article with the comment 'the most unnecessarily bitchy article I've ever read' and the responses flooded in in agreement, pure shock and outrage that a magazine could put their name to such utter tosh. In a world where traditional magazines are struggling and e-zines are being replaced with blogs, maybe there's an opportunity here to put out positive messages and supportive articles to the hundreds of thousands of young women in this country that could do with a little encouragement. It's easy to be bitchy, but it doesn't mean you have to be. As for the fabulous journalist, they finished it all off with this corker: "Lily Allen just looked horrendous and needs to put her bra away." I have no words.
Did this make you as angry as me? Do you care either way? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I agree. it's too bitchy for the sake of it and the author is not very good at writing really. Nothing wrong with abbey's pout. Not a fan of alesha's dress neckline but the floral pattern is so nice, and the colours are echoed in the makeup and i just love the outfit altogether on the whole. ever so summery. I hope lots of people complain (so thank you for your post) so that we don' see anymore of this writer's articles xReplyDelete
I can't believe the women who wrote that actually got paid for this so called journalism. There really is no need what so ever.ReplyDelete
I don't read gossip magazines because I can not stand the way celebs are picked apart for no real reason. I don't see anything wrong with outfits featured in your post, they all look pretty to me.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous31.5.12
Are you really THAT shocked?!ReplyDelete
These gossip mags slag off celebs on a daily basis - just look at the front covers. Too fat, too skinny, horrible clothes, too much surgery, needs surgery - it's pure poison.
One of the high-end weekly mags has a page on what celebs are wearing and 'fashion experts' give a score. Madness.
I think it's great that you have highlighted this. I would love to see these mags focus on the positives!
I feel that Heat magazine is always like this, except this article is more snarky and badly written than usual.ReplyDelete
If women dare to be a 'celeb', in Heat they're either too fat, too thin, letting themselves go, trying too hard, too sulky, too chavvy...
Glossy women's mags are criticised for making women 'feel bad about themselves' for using air-brushed images and yet it's magazines like Heat that actively promote an anti-feminist culture of tearing women down and ridiculing their insecurities.
- Nikki31.5.12
Like you Hayley, I thought this was an unnecessarily bitchy article. I was particularly interested in the fact that she called out Amanda Holden, who I actually thought looked pretty damn good, and so did another magazine who actually put her in the best dressed category. Clearly the girl had no style.ReplyDelete
As I said to you earlier, this heatworld article left a really bitter taste in my mouth and every sentence physically hurt to read.ReplyDelete
I think the fact that this piece was allowed to go through the subbing/proofing ranks and reach its online platform is an insult to all of us aspiring journos who genuinely want to write a half decent, honest piece.
Regardless of how Starstyle briefed the 'journalist' on this piece, the bottom line is, no matter how little time you have to write the article or how much material you have to go on, (in this case, in my opinion, some rather beautiful pictures of some well known faces) - journalism is meant to be witty, inspiring and intelligent. Quite frankly, this piece lacked all of this and I was left feeling a bit cheated, because after all, I've been an avid heat reader.
I think a better example to follow is 3am - although bitchy (we all do it) - but at least they manage to maintain a level of wit and humour. Where's the love heatworld?
This is the classic trashy magazine trying to be a fashion magazine. Vogue may not be for everyone, but there are cheaper alternatives such as Grazia or Look. I personally wouldn't take fashion advice from Heat.ReplyDelete
This magazine continuously conveys mixed messages to their readers as aforementioned; one week it's 'skinny celebs' the next it's 'fat celebs'. It really leaves little wonder as to why some many women have body image issues.
Heat makes their money from the 'bitch pound' and sadly they will continue to do so as so many people get off by reading this. To me it is simply hate journalism and they need to stop crossing the line from subjective and opinionated to just down right nasty.
Great post, kudos for writing it.
I don't read heat and this is exactly why. Celebrity culture has been taken to a new level of obsession. Slating celebrities to thousands of readers is crass and completely unnecessary and if that's what they have to sell their publication then I feel sorry for them.ReplyDelete
Agreed. It all sounds like it was written by an angry, jealous teenager, yikes! xReplyDelete
Wow this person was really having a bad day weren't they!! It does go over the line, I wouldn't even describe it as journalism, just playground style bitching! It's people like this that makes me think no wonder women have so many insecurities and low confidence!! xReplyDelete
When I have PMT I just buy weird stuff. I think that's healthier than slagging off other women (who look perfectly nice).ReplyDelete
- Anonymous31.5.12
This is ridiculous. The piece is opinion, and, now I've read all of it, part of a collective of three articles; the good, the bad, the undecided - which you fail to detail.ReplyDelete
The article is funny and Abbey Clancey does have a trout pout! It's heat, not flipping Vogue! It's not trying to be Vogue!
Anyway, most of it is taking the piss out of outfits, not people. It's hilarious that in the same post you say:
"We're all supposed to be in this together, sticking up for our own freedom of expression"
before calling the journalist a "cowbag"
I think you might just be pissed off that someone doesn't like your sandals.
I HATE these trashy rags; they are easy to read (like crisps are easy to eat) but they're utter poison. Just because a person is famous and the attacker is sat behind a screen anonymously doesn't make it not bullying.ReplyDelete
Also, and I don't want to fight fire with fire, but the girl who wrote it (on Twitter as @hannahbrimson) is no oil painting herself. She also calls herself a 'Style Writer'.
Emily x
The irony of it being an event that celebrates women is not lost. Some celebs go out of their way to attract any publicity but the ones that Heat picked on weren't being particularly outrageous or attention seeking. I just thought it was a highly mean-spirited feature that looked like someone gave the intern crack and told them to let rip.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all your comments ladies - I'm glad that everyone agrees with the sentiment of my post and the message I was trying to put out there. I have to admit I thought I was opening a can of worms and would end up with a tonne of bitchy comments, but actually not a single tweet or comment has been anything but supportive and in agreement (apart from the tweets from Heat's Style Editor which were in an equally bitchy tone.)ReplyDelete
The only comment in disagreement is the Anon above. You're totally entitled to your opinion, but to come back to you on a few things...
You said "The piece is opinion, and, now I've read all of it, part of a collective of three articles; the good, the bad, the undecided - which you fail to detail." I actually said above "The article was the third installment in the Glamour Awards outfit dissection, namely the 'bad' category." I made it clear it was one of three posts. It's not 'funny' and it's not taking the mick out of outfits, but criticising the people wearing them by calling them 'horrendous'. When did that become funny? And as for calling the author a cowbag on her period - anyone that writes such vile commentary is clearly no supporter of women, so I think that's more than justified!
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment though.
I totally agree with you :) Certain magazines nowadays use any opportunity to slate celebrities. If someone said that to a celebs face, they would get sued. I think Heat magazine need to reconsider what they stand for as all I see from them is technically a form of bullying.ReplyDelete
I also wish to know who approved it...
Personally I think all the dresses are lovely :)
I'm so glad you've written this, although I do feel Heat have always been this way and always will be, sadly. Why don't you try reading xojane.com? It's an American ladies blog that covers so many things, from lifestyle to beauty. XoJaneUK is about to launch too! One of the key ideas behind xojane though is to encourage women to be more sisterly, be supportive and kind to one another. There is no point in being a bitch because you can, be nice instead.ReplyDelete
And like I always say, it's eazy to be a bitch, it doesn't mean you should!

Watch how to make this recipe.
In a medium bowl, using a potato masher or fork, mash the berries and any juices into a chunky sauce.
Place the sour cream in a 1-cup measuring cup. Add enough chilled heavy cream to fill the cup completely. Scrape the cream mixture into a deep medium bowl. Beat the mixture until thick and stiff with a handheld electric mixer. Fold in the broken meringues.
Divide the sauce in half and spoon into the bottom of four serving bowls or glasses. Divide the cream mixture in half and spoon on top of the sauce. Repeat the layers using the remaining sauce and cream mixture. Top each parfait with a meringue half and serve immediately.

Capsiplex itself is a proven weight loss supplement which has shown amazing results in weight loss. But now it is available with new and improved Capsiplex Plus package at the official Capsiplex website. Manufacturers have added a new weight loss ingredient 5-HTP which can help in more effective weight loss and controlling.
Click Here to Visit Official Website of Capsiplex
Capsicum is proven as an effective and safe nutritional ingredient to support weight management. Scientists have combined capsicum extract with other weight loss substances such as Niacin, caffeine and Piperine while developing Capsiplex.
The new weight loss formula Capsiplex Plus offers additional benefits for weight loss. Manufacturers have included 5-HTP along with capsicum extract in this formula. Basically it is a chemical; the body makes it from amino acids which people get from food. These amino acids are responsible for the production of a chemical called serotonin.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Various reports have indicated that less than 10% of the revenues allocated for the underprivileged reach the beneficiaries. The administrative and aligned costs eat up unimaginable chunk of our taxes. CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is the best way to deploy the funds where it matters. The reputed Indian Corporates have been following the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) practices decades before it became mandatory. The Corporate sector has long realized that the best way to contribute to the society is to educate and sensitize the future generation. Best way to help use the funds is by providing quality education. As it's rightly said, "give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he will eat everyday".

- We provide stabilizers, solar chargers , battery backup and other products also wherever necessary.
Training and feedback:
- To deliver and provide the products and content to schools is just completing 50% of the work. The real project is completed when training is given to use the products and they are actually in use.
- We provide 1st round of training for hardware to teachers and school helpers Second training is done with the students.
- We then take a feedback and questionnaire round with the teachers and help them solve their doubts.
- After a month a new feedback and training meeting is done in each schools.
- Regular follow-ups, feedbacks and forms are filled for helping them use the product smoothly.
Larsen and Toubro Case Study

Brave Cloelia
Story by Jane Louise Curry
Illustrations by Jeff Crosby
In his History of Early Rome, the ancient historian Livy tells the story of a Roman girl named Cloelia who was taken prisoner by Larth Porsena, the king of the Etruscans. Cloelia came up with a daring plan of escape from her Etruscan captors and in the process won the admiration of all Rome and of the Etruscan king himself, who freed her. For saving her city, a grateful Rome set up a statue in her honor, the first such ever to be put on the Sacred Way.
This exciting and true story—beautifully illustrated—is told in Brave Cloelia.
Ages eight and up.
Jane Louise Curry is the author of many books for young people, including Hold Up the Sky and Other Indian Tales of Texas and the Southwest and The Egyptian Box. She lives in Los Angeles. Jeff Crosby's work has appeared in numerous books and magazines. Brave Cloelia is his sixth children's book.32 pages

Pertinent information (e.g. referral letter, medical record, lab work) should be sent to our service before the appointment. Also, please bring all medications previously used for your pet's eye condition.
6. What if my pet needs surgery?
Your pet is given an exam prior to surgery to help determine whether your pet is healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure. Current vaccinations are required at the time of surgery. Also, a pre-anesthetic blood screen is recommended prior to undergoing anesthesia and surgery. You are welcome to bring your own blankets and food for your hospitalized pet, otherwise it will be provided by us.

Exciting Christmas RomanceThis Christmas romance has a nice dash of suspense that really made it pop. It still has plenty of Christmas charm and some incredibly sweet scenes. Cat is an odd mix of tough and push-over. She's willing to do anything her bratty sister asks - and she asks a lot. Chloe is a total brat and I really disliked her. I almost understood why someone might want to get rid of her! But with Cat watching out for her, she doesn't need anything else. But then Grayson arrives on the scene. He throws an even bigger wrench in the whole Cat and Chloe relationship. With Chloe convinced he's going to be her new boyfriend, Cat being the prime suspect in his case, and a general craziness of everyone around them, Cat and Grayson aren't sure they were ever meant to be. There are a good number of laughs mixed in with the very well written suspenseful moments. The only draw back was at times it got just a little too silly and Chloe was just a little too - too much. I flat out didn't like her one bit. And the fact that Chloe didn't step up to her and tell her how it was, made me like Chloe just a bit less as well. Overall, this has been one of the best Christmas romances so far this year - it just needed to be reigned in a tad. *The book was received in exchange for an honest review*by Jasmyn9 on October 15, 2015

Enjoyable Christmas mystery"Snowbound at Christmas" is a fun an entertaining read and a great addition to Debbie Mason's Christmas in Colorado series. Cat O'Connor is an ex-cop who despises her job as her twin sister Chloe's assistant and bodyguard. Chloe, isn't anything like Cat, she is spoiled and expects to get here way all the time and for everyone to bow down to her since she is a big soap opera star. Cat has had it with her sister and her ways and is ready to quit working for her when an attempt is made on Chloe's life. Grayson Alexander is a FBI agent, working undercover Chloe's soap opera, trying to identify who is trying to kill her. The one things he never thought he would uncover was the sexy and tough twin sister Cat. Now between working with Cat and trying to keep his real identity a secret he is in for one hot Christmas shakedown. As with most identical twins, Cat and Chloe have done their share or role swapping with no one being the wiser. When Chloe wants to audition for a role that could change her future, Cat steps in for her on the soap opera. Cat never dreamed playing the role of her sister would be so great until the day she met Gray on set but when accidents and notes keep popping up on the set it is up to Cat to find out who is behind the threats. This is my first Debbie Mason book and I am hooked. It has just the right amount of romance and mystery to make this holiday book a delightful read. I received an eARC compliment of the publisher via NetGalley for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.by Majorly Delicious on October 12, 2015

Fun in ChristmasI finished the first book in this series not long ago and it was an absolutely entertaining read and set my expectations quite high for this installment. I love the town of Christmas, Colorado and its colorful, funny, nosy and generally friendly inhabitants. Catching up with the lives of characters from previous books was fun, but this story has its own fair share of fun and likable characters. After the painful loss of her job, Cat O'Connor took on the role of personal assistant and all-round gopher to her actress twin sister but lacking the challenge she needs, Cat is about to quit, until the accidents begin to happen and it becomes clear to her that her sister's life is in danger. Now Cat has to put her plans on hold until the person responsible is caught. FBI agent Grayson Alexander is undercover as British royalty and an actor on the set of Cat's sister's movie, expecting to spend a few days investigating the threats to Chloe's life and then continuing with his postponed vacation plans , but nothing is going according to plan. Faced with high maintenance stars, his difficult grandmother and an investigation that's not yielding any information, the only bright light for Grayson is Cat. Cat is feisty, tough, loyal and gorgeous to look at and he falls hard for her. Too bad, because Grayson has to maintain his cover and pretend to be attracted to Chloe in order to find the bad guy. Grayson is attractive and his accent puts him in very hot territory but he's also sweet and thoughtful but my favorite character is Ty. His antics and nicknames for everyone were too funny. Chloe is a real piece of work. Overly dramatic and an attention-seeker, she was loath to share the spotlight with anyone, not her co-stars and most definitely not her twin. I'm not sure that I have ever disliked a book character more than I did her and I'm almost feeling sorry for the poor guy who'll take her on. In fact, I felt that Cat had given her one too many chances and really wished she had stood up for herself early enough, but then again, their bond as twins meant that Cat would always be there for her. With all the accidents on set, the decision is made to continue shooting at the girls' hometown of Christmas, just in time for the holiday season and Cat hopes that the extra hands and eyes back home would help keep Chloe safe. Well, Christmas is the perfect location for the capers and chaos that ensure and the result is so many funny moments, it's hard to even pick a favorite. And the season provides the perfect backdrop for romance - snowy days and warm nights by the fire. SNOWBOUND AT CHRISTMAS was so much fun to read and even though it was not my favorite of the series, it is still a great addition.

Thanks for your feedback!
Sweet romance with a bit of mysteryIt was great to be back in Christmas, Colorado! Cat and Greyson had some obvious chemistry from the start, unfortunately the threat against her twin sister Chloe creates some roadblocks for them. I loved that Greyson was able to really see Cat and was able to tell her and Chloe apart - after of course a brief period where he thought he might be falling for Chloe as well. There is a little bit of tension created by the secrets they are both keeping, but once they come out, they move past it with very little drama. Speaking of drama, Chloe might be the biggest drama queen ever! I hated the way she treated Chloe and manipulated her family. Even though she tried to redeem herself in the end, I don't know that I could see her in a positive light. It was great to catch up with previous couples and I look forward to the next book. I received an ARC via NetGalley for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.by Jen M. on October 07, 2015

A year round good time...Have not come across a twin swapping story since I was a teen reading Sweet Valley High. Cat and Chloe may be sisters but that is where the connection ends. Cat is responsible, serious and level headed. Chloe is a selfish, rude, bratty attention seeker. Cat is out of her element. Working and living in her sister's shadow is not something she enjoys. Snowbound at Christmas is an adventure inside a story. There are twists around every corner, revealing secrets and interesting characters to follow along the way. There are references to the Christmas season but Debbie Mason has written a story that can be enjoyed all year round. I received an ARC of Snowbound at Christmas in exchange for an honest review.by Isha C. on September 21, 2015

I got an Android a few months ago for some mobile web app testing. (I then proceeded to focus my attention to wrestling dragons for said web app, which didn't leave much time for blogging.)
I really hope they they've worked on user experience, because my onboarding experience was absolutely awful – it was several hours before I was able to successful type the username and password to my google account, and the phone refuses to do anything until you've set up a google account. I had more trouble setting up other apps and services, and in some cases ended up sending passwords to myself, because I was really just that sick of typing in the same sequences over and over on a crummy touch keyboard.
The Swype keyboard is fairly nice for normal text. Even so I don't relish typing a mobile screen, so I mainly end up entering login information, where alternate keyboards aren't much help.
I didn't get the latest-greatest model (which changes weekly anyway), both because I don't have steady income, and because I wanted to see what a typical user experience would be like. I got a T-Mobile LG Optimus-T, which comes with Android 2.2.2. I've since unlocked the phone, but from what I can tell, I wouldn't be able to take much farther in the Android versions because the hardware requirements increase with each release.
It still runs my geolocation-based web app, so I can use it "in context", which was the whole point of the exercise. It's also able to run Disk Clock fairly well, although the app-switching use case is making me reconsider the startup animations even further. (The fact that it's running Disk Clock at all hints at some other stuff I need to get around to publishing.)
I also realized I should probably have a case for carrying it around. I got a soft case – it seemed (quite unscientifically) that a hard case would just transmit any shock through to the phone. I assumed it would have cut-outs for the buttons, but in fact there are specially designed extrusions, with a peak to push the button an a thin area around to allow it to move.
The new device also pushed my "charging station" over the edge. I don't know how tolerant the devices are of slightly off input-power, so I've kept around each power supply. I pulled out the twist-ties to keep the cables straight – a technique I'd been using the keep the computer and power iPad cables sorted out.

At first blush, Spanish filmmaker Pablo Berger's "Blancanieves" would appear to be a bit of a tough sell. Not only is his artfully realized fairy tale based on an exceedingly familiar story -- the old Snow White legend of Brothers Grimm origin -- but it's one that has been adapted for the big screen repeatedly, and twice in just the past year ("Mirror, Mirror" and "Snow White and the Huntsman").
It's a tribute, therefore, to Berger's storytelling skills and vision that his lush and lovely "Blancanieves" all but jumps off the screen as a singular and surprisingly fresh addition to the Snow White canon. Better in most ways than both recent adaptations, and more enjoyable at every turn, Berger's film stands as a testament to the idea that, even in film, the journey is every bit as important as the destination.
So, yes, we know how this story ends (or think we do). And, yes, along the way there is an evil stepmother, a band of merry little people and a poisoned apple. But the similarities between "Blancanieves" and the Snow White legend that most of us have come to know -- that is, the one established in Disney's 1939 animated version -- largely end there.
This time, the whole thing is set in 1920s Seville and our heroine -- played by fetching Macarena Garcia, a Spanish TV actress making her feature film debut -- is named Carmen, the daughter of a star matador. None of those decidedly outside-the-box elements, however, is the most striking characteristic of Berger's film.
That distinction would go to his decision to shoot it all as a black-and-white tribute to the era of silent films -- right down to its old-school 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Granted, Michel Hazanavicius' 2011's Oscar-winning "The Artist" gets bragging rights by beating Berger to the punch and being the first to prove that, yes, a distinctly old-fashioned silent film can, indeed, find an audience among modern audiences. But "Blancanieves" doesn't suffer greatly from being a late-comer to the nostalgia party.
That's largely because, like "The Artist," it's far more than merely a gimmick film. Berger's adaptation is so beautifully shot and so wonderfully scored -- and so distinctively Spanish -- that despite those seemingly derivative flourishes, it inarguably stands as its own film.
To their credit, Berger and cinematographer Kiko de la Rica make the most of their black-and-white palette, which positively glows with an old-Hollywood aura. In addition, they take pains to incorporate interesting camera set-up after interesting camera set-up that still pay homage to the silent era, while also including a smattering of stylistic echoes of European films springing from the French New Wave.
In addition, though, Berger's story -- which he wrote -- and his characters are steeped in Spanish charm, drinking deeply from that country's flamenco and bull-fighting traditions.
In keeping with the Grimm tradition, there are also a handful of grim elements to Berger's tale, which contribute to its PG-13 rating -- and which might give pause to parents considering making it a family outing. There are no graphic images, but there are several that might prove to be upsetting.
They start with the goring and subsequent paralysis of Carmen's matador father and continue with the death of her mother during childbirth, both of which happen in the first 10 minutes or so. They go on to include various cruelties at the hands of her particularly evil stepmother (played by a deliciously sinister Maribel Verdu, of "Y Tu Mama Tambien" and "Pan's Labyrinth"). Of particular concern: the death of a beloved pet, as well as an attempted drowning.
Still, Berger's film is still far more magical than it is macabre. And so although a black-and-white, foreign-film adaptation of a very familiar tale might, indeed, be a hard sell, audiences who buy into it are in for an undeniably rewarding movie-going experience.
In a word: !Ole!
4 stars, out of 5
Snapshot: A black-and-white, silent adaptation of the "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" story, reimagining the fairy tale heroine as the daughter of a bullfighter in 1920s Seville.
What works: It's a beautifully shot, entirely entertaining re-telling, steeped in affection for the silent tradition as well as a wonderful Spanish charm.
What doesn't: Some story elements may be too intense for younger, more sensitive viewers, limiting the film's family appeal.
Cast: Macarena Garcia, Maribel Verdu, Daniel Gimenez Cacho, Angela Molina. Director: Pablo Berger. Rating: PG-13, for some violent content and sexuality. Running time: 1 hour 40 minutes. Where: Chalmette Movies. Find New Orleans showtimes.

Weak VLGC market hits BW Gas
BW Gas third quarter results were impacted by a weak VLGC (Very Large Gas Carrier) market and rising fuel costs.
The company recorded a third-quarter operating profit before depreciation and disposals of $74.4 million, compared to $99.2 million in the third quarter 2006. Operating profit was $58.1 million in the quarter, compared with $ 71.9 million in the same period of 2006.
Gain on sale of vessels amounted to $10.9 million, while there was no sale of vessels during third quarter 2006.
Third quarter 2007 showed a substantial decrease in freight rates for the VLGC segment and a slight decrease in the freight rates for the LGCs and MGCs compared to the same period of 2006. However, the company says the trend for 2007 is positive but the increase in bunker prices limit result improvements.
The operating profit in the LPG segment amounted to $ 36.9 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $ 47.7 million in the third quarter 2006. The average number of LPG vessels increased from 39.9 to 40.4.
The operating profit in the LNG segment amounted to $24.4 million in the third quarter 2007 compared to $ 24.6 million in the third quarter 2006.
One LNG vessel was drydocked for scheduled maintenance this quarter, resulting in 11 days offhire and increased operating expenses. The depreciations decreased by $2.1 million following the change in estimated useful economic life of LNG vessels from 30 to 35 years as of January 2007 and the reclassification of 0.5 vessel from operational to financial lease. The average number of LNG vessels decreased from 8.0 to 6.5.
The account show net financial expenses of $34.2 million in the third quarter of 2007 ($30.5 million in 2006), of which interest expenses amounted to $ 21.8 million ($ 19.9 million in 2006). This increase is mainly due to increased debt. Other financial items amounted to -$16.5 million in third quarter of 2007 (-$18.4 million in 2006), and consist mainly of changes in market value of interest rate swaps.
Profit before tax was $ 23.9 million in the third quarter 2007 compared to $ 41.4 million in the same quarter 2006.
Net profit from continuing operations was $17.0 million ($0.1 per share) in the third quarter 2007 compared with $41.8 million in third quarter 2006 ($0.3 per share). Income tax expense of $6.9 million ($ -0.4 million in 2006) is mainly related to unrealized foreign exchange gains on intercompany debt in tonnage taxed entities.
For the first nine months of 2007 the operating profit amounted to $156.8 million ($190.0 million in 2006). The 2007 figures include a net gain on sale of tangible fixed assets from continuing operations of $31.7 million ($0.1 million in 2006).
Profit before tax from continuing operations amounted to $107.8 million in the first nine months of 2007 ($180.9 million in 2006). Net profit from continuing operations was $ 87.3 million ($ 0.6 per share) in the first nine months of 2007 compared with $ 174.4 million in the same period of 2006 ($ 1.3 per share).
The board expects operating profit for 2007 to be weaker than for 2006.
The Norwegian Government presented in September a new proposal for taxation of Norwegian ship owning companies which implies taxation of a ten year period of undistributed profit kept in the Norwegian tonnage tax system not previously subject to taxation. In effect, this means a back-tax on the shipping industry from 1996. The new system will be ratified in December provided that the Parliament approves the budget with this back- tax plan. The effect of the current proposal for BW Gas is a tax of approximately NOK 3.8 billion, payable with 10% annually over 10 years. 33% of the amount will be waived by the tax authorities if an equal amount is spent on environmental investments.

I know, I know, everyone's first instinct when they hear "make money online" is that every last option is a scam!
And you know what, I'll be the first to chime in, because most are!
But it is possible to make legitimate money online (I do it everyday!), and Swagbucks is a fabulous way of doing just that!
Want some tips on how to make money online using Swagbucks so you can cash in on this great program and earn cash faster?
That's what I thought…so here we go!
Make Money Online Using Swagbucks
What is Swagbucks?
As a Swagbucks member, you earn points (Swagbucks!) which you can save up and use to purchase things from the "swag shop", such as gift cards.
Earning these points is simple! You can take daily polls, play games, watch videos, etc. I've found the easiest way to earn points is by just using the Swagbucks search bar to do online searches.
It brings up all the same sites you would find by doing a search on Yahoo or Google (so you're not missing out on anything!) and by doing these searches you are randomly awarded points (I usually get between 10-20 points every 6-9 searches)!
How To Earn Swagbucks Faster!
1. NEVER type a web address into the top bar when going to a website! Instead, type it into the search bar at Swagbucks! Make this a habit so you're always searching to earn!
2. Set your Home Page to earn you Swagbucks! Enter a search for a site you visit on a regular basis, for example Hotmail or Facebook, on your Swagbucks search page (make sure you're logged in!).
When the search results come up, make this your "Home Page" (you can set this up in your browser's internet options, contact me if you need help doing this). Now, every time you click the home button, it counts as you doing a search and you have another chance to earn Swagbucks!
Plus, since you will be entering all the sites you visit as searches through here, you'll click the home button to bring you to the search window to do your search, so you're doing TWO searches every time!
3.The daily polls are an extra little thing I've been doing. They literally take less than 10 seconds (it's one question), and you automatically get 1 Swagbuck every time! Every little bit helps!
4.Earn Swagbucks by watching videos! Sometimes I will open an extra window when I'm on the computer and let the videos play in the background while I do what I have to, occasionally clicking back over to start the next one.
You earn Swagbucks for about every 10 videos that play, and most are only about 1 minute long (movie trailers, ads, etc)!
5.Be sure to "LIKE" Swagbucks Canada on Facebook and follow on Twitter as they release daily codes (sometimes a few!) that you can enter for free points!
As you can see, there are a variety of ways to earn Swagbucks, but even if you only use the search method described in #1 and #2, you can rack up the points in no time!
I have earned over one thousand dollars in FREE gift cards and Paypal cash since signing up about 2 years ago!
Not too shabby for doing what I was already doing I think!

The MLS Bridge Coordinator and the eULM academic advisor will assist you in academic matters and offer guidance consistent with the program's requirements. Students who elect to pursue an irregular enrollment sequence or who fail to progress through the curriculum in a customary manner due to academic deficiencies or though withdrawing from courses may encounter personal inconvenience and additional expenses.
Students are reminded of the official University Policy concerning student responsibility published in the current University Catalog which states:
"Students are personally responsible for completing all requirements established for their degree by the University, College, and Department. It is the student's responsibility to become informed of these requirements. A student's advisor may not assume these responsibilities and may not substitute, waive, or exempt the student from any established requirements or academic standard."
It is the responsibility of the student to notify the MLS Bridge Coordinator with his/her intentions for course registrations, such as the semester, the number of hours you plan to take, etc. on a regular basis.
Prospective Students
General inquiries submitted to the eULM website will be replied to with general program information. A more specific evaluation of previous coursework and admission procedures can be obtained at the prospective student's request by contacting the MLS Bridge Coordinator.
New Students
Upon acceptance into the program, the MLS Bridge Coordinator will provide you with a list of courses remaining and a tentative sequencing of courses based on your progression intentions. Be sure to retain this information throughout the program so you will be able keep up with the courses you need to take each semester.
All Students
Each semester, a "hold" is placed in the system that prohibits a student from registering for courses until the student has been advised. Advising will take place following the publishing of the "Schedule of Classes".
The eULM Schedule of Classes contains the online courses for the following semester and is made available a few weeks before registration begins.
Registration for summer and fall courses usually begins around the first of April, and registration for the spring semester usually begins around the first of November.
Availability of courses varies and may be dependent on enrollment; to avoid this problem, students are advised to register the first day possible at the earliest time possible.

A "page break" essentially indicates a stronger > "change of topic" than a horizontal rule. You might consider a page > break to be HR1, whereas the current one would be HR2. I understand; a 'page break' can also be used as a 'next screen' for terminal-oriented browsers, too, which even more suggests that it is presentation. It's an appealing argument, but I counter-argue is page-breaks are not intrinsically a semantic division, but merely presentational. > Besides which, page breaks arent just for printers. The pure text > program "more", for example, will special-case pagebreaks, aka "form > feeds". It will stop scrolling down when it hits ^L, until the reader > presses spacebar. In this case, I would argue you are mixing the concept of presentation and semantics. The formfeed character is really a presentational element; it is not semantically dividing a page. Sure, many authors will will use ^L to semantically divide a page, but it is not intrinsic to the ^L; by itself it is a presentational artifact. How the agent acts with the formfeed char is a presentational issue. Hence, your pagbreak/formfeed is still presentational, and still be in CSS. > Information about pagebreaks belongs in core HTML just as much as the HR > tag does. (If you'd rather it be an attribute to HR, over BR, fine by > me. I just want it in there somewhere :-) As I stated, hr is really more semantic. I can't argue br, though. I wonder why it's still there...maybe something to do with the fact that some thing's semantics are 'defined' by their linebreaks (addresses, etc). In fact, multi-line addresses are the only place I use br's. These arguments are much better than the ones you presented in your original message. Unfortunately, your argument goes like "See! HTML *already* has this stuff!" when 'this stuff' (hr/br) is probably the grayest part of the HTML standard with respect to its semantic legitimacy. Sorta like my saying, "You get no points for pointing out contradictions in American law". -- Frank Tobin http://www.neverending.org/~ftobin/Received on Friday, 11 January 2002 17:53:08 UTC
