A diagnosis of cancer is enough to make anyone lose an appetite, and the problem worsens once treatment and its side effects begin. But along with the right treatment, a diet rich in nutrients, vitamins and even fats is crucial when fighting the disease.
"Diet is the one thing they have the most control over," says Donna L. Weihofen, a registered dietitian and nutritionist at the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center in Madison. What patients should and should not eat is "high on the list, after the prognosis and once they've gotten over the shock."

Fresh meet
The spirit of friendly competition was alive at well at the Royal Selangor Polo Club as the first month of 2014 kicked off with the Giancarlo Cup. Sponsored by Giancarlo, the tournament for beginners debuted with beautiful weather and high spirits.
Polo Captain, Shaik Reismann, was on hand with instructions and this friendly tournament is the perfect way for neophytes to learn before hitting the afternoon chukkas. The second mini beginners' tournament was sponsored by Jo Indot and ushered in the first weekend of February with morning polo. After another bracing weekend match, Shaik Reismann quipped: "I'm glad to see that everyone is having fun and improving every time we play! Keep it up!"

In the photo above, Capt. Kirk gives us his best "I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am" smile. But it turns out it's the car that interests us more. Because the Reactor Mach II got around almost as much as Kirk did.
The Reactor Mach II was built by automotive artist Gene Winfield in 1965. According to Memory Alpha, "The Reactor was based on a 1956 Citroen DS chassis and powered by a Chevrolet Corvair engine. The hand-built car featured electronically-operating doors, hood and roof." It also had an aluminum body, which would have crumpled upon impact.
Per Harpie's Bizarre. the hot rod first appeared in the Bewitched episode "Super Car" as Darrin's dream car, given to him as a gift by his witchy mother-in-law, Endora. (Of course, Endora had stolen it.)
Next, the car was dolled up, or rather kitted up, for its appearance in Batman as Catwoman Eartha Kitt's best accessory. The Kitty Car, complete with eyes, ears and a tail, appeared in the episode "The Joke's on Catwoman."
It made a third and final appearance in the Star Trek episode "Bread and Circuses," where the car was given the name "Jupiter 8" and appeared in a television commercial. (We surmise that the above photo was taken during the filming of the episode.)
Gene Winfield's Hollywood career didn't start, or end, with the Reactor. His automotive skills were first used in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Get Smart. Later, he crafted vehicles for Trancers and The Last Starfighter. He was responsible for the Star Car in Star Man and for 25 vehicles in Blade Runner.
Winfield also designed the Galileo 7 shuttle used in the Star Trek episode of the same name.
The Reactor has retired from TV life and now lives at Darryl Starbird National Rod & Custom Hall of Fame.

There's nothing edgy about mocking Down Syndrome, it's just cuntish behaviour.
Hmm, I've just been trying to find any of the material about this, but can't find any. The strange thing is, Frankie Boyle, is normally quite politically correct, despite his love of causing offense. It would be strange for him to have a go at people with Down's syndrome, rather than the way society deals with people with Down's syndrome.
Having said that, some of his stand-up (though I've never seen him in the flesh) is pretty poor, his TV shows have been far better.
It was a comment about Katie Price's son.
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/ ... atie-price
I don't think that was what G was talking about, because the bit you posted is obviously not about Katie Price's son it is about how Katie Price has monetized her son, along with the rest of her family, to make a living.
I think there was some spat about a joke he told that caused the parent of a Down's child to walk out of a show and complain.
Perhaps it was the same joke, in which case it certainly wasn't mocking the medical condition of her son but her making money from it.
Which in my mind are two separate things.

one of the very best things about freezing produce when it's in season is enjoying it in the off-season. there is something so awesome about having an out-of-season fruit or veggie when it's cold and snowy outside.
garlic scapes are one of my favourite things about spring. i try and use them as much as i can. and since i often buy too many i resort to freezing them for future use.
this dip recipe is creamy and garlicy, with white beans to give it some weight. and it's easy. very easy! it goes well with crackers and veggies. i had found this garlic scape recipe a few years ago when we were getting a veggie box delivered to our apartment. perfect for an afternoon shack or an evening of snacking and socializing.
hope you enjoy it!
white bean & garlic scapes dip
makes 1 1/2 cups
recipe from the nytimes.com
[what you need]
1/3 cup sliced garlic scapes
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt, plus more to taste
ground black pepper, to taste
1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
[to make]
in a food processor, process the garlic scapes with lemon juice, salt and pepper, until finely chopped.
add the cannellini beans and process to a rough purée.
with the food processor running, slowly drizzle olive oil through the feed tube, and process until fairly smooth. pulse in 2-3 tbsp water, or more, until mixture is the consistency of a dip. add more salt, pepper and/or lemon juice, if desired.
spread dip out on a plate, or into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with more salt.
serve with crackers or veggies of your choice.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT Copeland takes a similarly strategic and action-oriented approach to her new role as Chair of the Women's Enterprise Forum, having spent three years as Vice Chair. Copeland's goals for the Forum are focused on five areas. First, she will continue to enhance WBE engagement and participation in the Forum so that WBEs can take maximum advantage of its value and opportunities. Secondly, she will advance the Forum's healthy alignment of WBE goals with WBENC's Regional Partners Organizations (RPOs), as she accomplished with the Envoy Program for the Women's Business Enterprise Council of PA-DE-sNJ led by president Geri Swift. This experience deepened her collaboration with her RPO and prepared her for leadership roles on the Forum. Julie Copeland Chair, Women's Enterprise Forum President and CEO, Arbill
Third, Copeland will continue to build the Forum's reputation for robust programming, providing invaluable insights from WBENC Corporate and Government Members and other WBEs on business development strategies. Fourth, she will encourage WBEs to mine the potential to do more business with other WBEs. And Fifth, she would like the Forum to encourage communications among WBEs about opportunities available to them across the WBENC organization. "Knowledge leads to empowerment," she says. Women business leaders spend 99 percent of their time being decision makers, she notes, but at the Forum, they can act as influencers and have a positive, snowballing effect.
"When we come together as women for the greater good – it spells success for everyone involved," she says. "I have experienced WBENC and the Forum as an incredible sisterhood of WBEs. Together we have the opportunity to inspire tremendous growth." For information on Arbill, see www.arbill.com

On Monday night, I met Kate at the Bryant Park Ice Rink* to soak up some holiday spirit. I took my Nikon D90 (digital) and Nikon FM2n (film) cameras. It's a good thing I had both, because the D90 froze up and wouldn't take pictures after about 20-30 minutes in the near freezing temps. I've been told since to "try to keep it warm, like in a warm bag, and that shouldn't happen again." Kind of a weird answer. It's a camera. A tool. It should work when it's 32 degrees out. Luckily, my trusty FM2n worked just fine in the cold. It's all mechanical, so I'm not surprised. The D90 is basically a computer with a lens slapped on the front, barely a camera it seems... The light was pretty tricky for metering. You have the bright white of the ice rink surface surrounded by the night and then up top a nice layer of lights from the looming skyscrapers ringing the park. Before it froze up, the D90 in Aperture Priority (I use this sometimes when Kate and I are together, so I don't have to think as much and can pay more attention to her) gave me all kinds of underexposed and overexposed shots. I kept looking at the screen and thinking, "WTF?" I did switch to manual, but shortly after that the autofocus on the lens went and then the camera itself just stopped responding.
With the FM2n, I just metered for the scene and paid attention to what I wanted. Happily, none of the shots were too far off. Some of them were shaky because of the cold, but other than that I'm happy with how the film shots turned out. These are on Kodak Tri-X 400 pushed to 1600 ISO and developed in Kodak D-76 for 9.5 minutes.

*We did not partake in the skating. After healing multiple bone injuries from overtraining in the Nyland-Hoke house, we were visibly cringing over all the skaters falling and hitting the ice.

Sorry, girls: R. Kelly's book-signing at the Barnes & Noble at Washington's Union Station, originally scheduled for Saturday evening, has been canceled, a store rep told us. Some kind of mystery ailment has sidelined the R&B star; his publicist announced that he fell sick while traveling to NYC to promote a new album and memoir, so returned to Chicago for treatment. No word yet on when anything will be rescheduled. Oh, and fyi, critics report that the book ("Soulacoaster: The Diary of Me") doesn't tell you much about that sex tape scandal of his or any other dirt.

Perhaps the Smartest Non-SmartPhone
I test lots of phones -most of them are of the "SmartPhone" variety. What those of us immersed in the SmartPhone world sometimes forget is how really "Smart" some of the standard issue cell phones have become.
Case in point - the Samsung SCH-U740. With all the technology out there - it is a rare phone that really innovates and makes us say "wow." I think this phone has a lot to offer.
Samsung is making some killer phones these days - super slim cell phones, the BlackJack SmartPhone and now, the SCH-U740. Ok, let's get this out of the way first - who named this thing? When you have a phone that can do everything this phone can, you gotta give it a better name.
The SCH-U740 is a Verizon exclusive and offers some real innovations. Today's cell phone user not only wants to make clear calls, but we want to text-message with ease, watch videos, download music, IM and play games. Fortunately, the SCH-U740 allows you to do all that and more.
Let's take a look at all that comes standard with this phone:

nudity reviews for Judy Adler member submitted
cutie, but it's a crap movie
B/W pic doesn't really have enough skin to qualify as a nudie but was fairly hot, adults-only stuff in '65. Adler, a tall brunette, cute by me, who reminds ya a little of the middle-period Michelle Bauer (only with longer, straighter hair), is one of four hookers the story is sort of about. At 38 mins she's roughed up by some hoods, who take a while to get her bra off, finally showing some nice puffies. She also loses her panties but you don't see any fur. At 53 mins she shares the shower with June Roberts. They wonder if they're turning lesbian but don't give us any evidence one way or the other. Scene goes on for a bit, with the best frontal views of Adler at the end. There are a couple of butt shots of both women, but brief. Film is B/W, OK but not great quality in this print from Image and SWV. NB, I didn't know that Adler had ever made any films in color, but there's a trailer for one, Confessions of a Bad Girl (c1965), on one of the DVD I recently watched. Hope the movie is in better shape than the trailer, as the color there has seriously shifted. Adler also appears in the trailer for Satan's Bed (1965), a Michael/Roberta Findlay B/W nudie which introduced Yoko Ono to an excited world. Unlike Ono, Judy seems to do some skin in the latter film.
brief, not quite fleeting; this is strictly for fans and nobody else
Adler's scene comes abt 37 mins into the picture. She's a suburban housewife who gets waylaid by the 3 heroin-shooting thugs from the Findlay portion of this cobbled movie. Most of it has the MMF team of hoods mauling her tits through her bra and grinding her on the grass while she's in black undies, but near the end of the scene one of the guys cuts her bra open. Somewhat long shot, and she's upside down in the frame. Not fleeting, but still brief and not that rewarding, visually, due to the angle. He starts to slice off her panties as well, but that's where the cut comes, and we then see the bad guys drive off in Adler's car while she lies on the grass dead -- bare to the waist, but arm thrown carefully over her chest so nothing shows.

If you don't have a financial plan for your first year of university, now is a good time to think about money management. There are a lot of things to factor in, and you might be surprised to see how quickly it all adds up.
Your costs as a university student
As a university student, you'll be responsible for paying tuition and student fees. If you're applying for on-campus housing, you'll need to include housing fees in your budget. You're probably going to want to eat, so factor in your meal plan. If you're going to be living off campus, you'll need to consider your weekly groceries and rent (and remember that it needs to be paid on time). And let's not forget all of the miscellaneous expenses such as clothing, entertainment, and your various monthly bills.
It can seem overwhelming, but UBC's cost calculator can help you get a handle on what your money situation will look like.
Let us help you
If things still don't make sense, contact your Enrolment Services Advisor, who will be more than happy to sit down and help you create a realistic budget for the year.

An Umbrella Story
My aunt drinks beer, sometimes. She likes bitter and hoppy flavors. Pale Ales, Pilsners. One day, as she was walking up to a restaurant for lunch, she noticed an umbrella with an advertisement for "Duvel" on the front patio. It piqued her interest, having never heard of Duvel.
Once seated, she asked the server about it. She found out it is a Belgian Strong Pale Ale. Perfect! She'll take one. She tried it. She loved it. She drank it all.
A few years after, she still loves to drink Duvel, sometimes. She even bought a fancy Duvel chalice for drinking the beer at home. All because of an umbrella with an advertisement. Fancy that!
New! Skycap Umbrella
Show to let people know with the new Skycap Umbrella! The Skycap Umbrella is available in 2 canopy shapes: Square and Hexagon. Hardware is composed of a steel pole, aluminum runner, stretcher and ribs and a plastic hub. Canopy fabric material is water-resistant and edge-to-edge graphic print is UV-cured.
Here is the hardware only picture of the Square shaped Skycap Umbrella. Again, the pole is steel, the top parts are aluminum and the black parts are plastic, as aforementioned. Lifetime warranty on hardware.
Tell and show people what you have to offer using the Skycap Umbrella. You never know what marketing strategy will pull people toward you. What will be your umbrella story?

RBC announces first Blue Water Project Grant pool of $1.5 million
Grants will support watershed protection and safe drinking water
TORONTO, April 2008 To celebrate Earth Day, RBC today announced its first Blue Water Project Leadership Grants pool.
Grants are available to support projects in Canada, the United States and the other 36 countries in which RBC operates, and will range from $25,000 to $500,000 each, up to a total of $1.5 million. The 2008 RBC Blue Water Project Leadership Grant applications are due on June 30, 2008, and recipients will be announced in September, 2008.
Earth Day is the perfect time to kick off the Leadership Grants stream of our Blue Water Project, said Gordon M. Nixon, president and CEO, RBC. We are looking forward to hearing from organizations that are working to protect our precious water sources and contribute to a culture of water stewardship worldwide.
RBC recently convened an advisory panel of North American water experts to help develop the overall Blue Water Project granting strategy and guidelines. The panel determined that RBC Blue Water Project grants should focus on two key areas: watershed protection and programs related to safe drinking water.
You simply cant overstate the connection between watershed protection and safe drinking water, and our goal is to make a significant, measurable environmental and social impact by focusing on these two areas, said Rob de Loë, professor, Canada Research Chair in Water Management, University of Guelph, and chair of the RBC Blue Water Project Advisory Panel. We hope that the programs funded through the RBC Blue Water Project grants will help more people understand how important fresh water resources are in their communities, and that more individuals will have access to clean, safe drinking water, especially in rural and indigenous communities.
The RBC Blue Water Project is a wide-ranging, multi-year program to help foster a culture of water stewardship in Canada and abroad, so that people have clean fresh water today and tomorrow. The first phase of the RBC Blue Water Project, announced in late 2007, is a 10-year, $50 million grant program, comprising three streams: Visionary, Leadership and Community Action Grants. The first Visionary Grant was a $10 million commitment to the ONE DROP Foundation, established by Cirque du Soleil founder, Guy Laliberté. The Community Action Grants stream will be open for applications in June, 2008.
Royal Bank of Canada (RY on TSX and NYSE) and its subsidiaries operate under the master brand name of RBC. It is Canadas largest bank as measured by assets and market capitalization and one of North Americas leading diversified financial services companies. RBC employs approximately 70,000 full- and part-time employees who serve more than 15 million personal, business, public sector and institutional clients throughout offices in Canada, the U.S. and 36 other countries. In 2007, the company released the RBC Environmental Blueprint, outlining its environmental priorities and objectives. In 2007, RBC was named Canadas top corporate citizen, and in 2008, was named one of top 100 sustainable companies in the world.

Rebuttal: How many whales should be sold to the highest bidder? None.
In a 'comment' posted on Nature.com, authors Christopher Costello, Leah R. Gerber and Steven Gaines argue the creation of a 'whale conservation market' might, assuming proper quotas; "reduce the number of whales harvested" under the guise of science from the world's whale populations.
This isn't a new proposal. It's a warmed-over wacky idea that's been around since the 1960s and hasn't improved with age.
Rather than devising ways to throw this dying and anachronistic industry a lifeline or put a price on the head of protected whales, we need to encourage Japan, Norway and Iceland, the last three countries still killing whales for commercial purposes, to finally join the emerging global consensus for whale conservation.
Why would anyone give whaling a commercial value which simply does not exist? The International Fund for Animal Welfare believes that all whales should be protected from this cruel and unnecessary practice.
No whales should be sold off to the highest bidder.
IFAW urges Japan, Norway and Iceland to end whaling once and for all. Responsible whale watching is a sustainable and economically viable industry which, as we've shown, is better for whales and people living in coastal communities.
Innovative ideas and new, creative approaches to the "whale wars" are urgently needed, but this one is better suited to a freshman year economics bull session than the serious ongoing global campaign to end illegal whaling.
Read more about the International Fund for Animal Welfare effort to increase whale watching activities around the world.

does anyone know a website with whaling debates
How or why is it that people just can not leave well enough alone? Whales and seals live
out in the middle of nowhere so i see the need for these sick morons to go half way around the world just so they can kill some poor animal just to make some money. Since
when did money become more important then some poor animals life? Grow up people
these animals have a right to live to, so leave them alone
Janine E
If we're going to assign an arbitrary dollar value for whales then base it on the world-wide success of the whale watching tourism industry which continues to grow.
Whales are worth more alive than dead.
It's quite a clever idea. really, and just in time as the Japanese authorities are getting a bit reluctant to continue subsidising whalers to produce meat no one wants. This way the whalers actually get money without having to do any work for it. And within it, a sort of mutated Ponzi scheme. Following in the footsteps of wheezes to save the economy: Civil Society pays the bankers who destroy the resource and they get their bonuses without working for them.
Great stuff; just what University education is for. Sidney Holt.
Wrong metaphores. The point is that people value whales in different ways. We can endlessly continue this argument, which has raged for decades with whaling increases. Or, we can recognize that there is far more power in the fact that most people on the planet value whales more alive than those who value them as food. This idea merely exploits this difference in values to save far more whales than moral arguments ever will. We need to exploit the fact that we could be saving many more whales by harnessing the value of whales to end whaling rather than continuing the largely fruitless approaches we've used for the past decades. Sometimes there are things you can actually learn from a freshman economics class.
end it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is a horrible picture!! why would people want to do that to animals? well we dont!!!!!
this is discusting and i belive this should be illegal!! its horrible!!
Good rebuttal. This scheme is more than wacky, it's organized blackmail: I'll stop slaughtering whales when you give me enough money. Extended to other areas, its craziness becomes even more obvious: I'll stop polluting your drinking water if you give me enough money; I'll stop poaching elephants for their ivory when you pay me to do so.
end whaling!!!!!!!!!!

The ring pillow
This is the ring pillow I made for a freinds daughter. I agonised over this, I wanted it to be perfect.
The first attempt was abandoned, it was too white, if you're not a follower of my blog, you can see the first attempt here.
I purchased two lots of Swarovski crystals, before deciding on Silver Shadow. I also used Mill Hill beads (Ice), and then ran out of those! I purchased white satin fabric, which was off white, but was too bright, so I had to go back and buy the pale grey. I had to visit 3 shops to do this. The design is based on one found in a book, but I changed it slightly. I also added the back-stitched border because I felt the writing I put around the edge looked lost. I was really pleased with the final result, and delivered it the day before the wedding. Unfortunately they decided not to use it in the ceremony, and just have it as a keepsake. I just hope the bride actually liked it.

August is nearly over
Well I can't believe it will be September in a couple of days, can you? I've noticed in the last week that the nights are drawing in, and by 8pm I need to put a light on if I am going to stitch. And it's certainly getting cooler. As I look out the window now, it's dull and overcast, but it's only 6.40am, so it could change. I hope to be back shortly with lots to share.
I'm going to make a list here, and then hopefully I can remember to post about them all-these are not in any order.

Just a quickie, I hope to be back with you soon. The kitchen is nearly there, it has honestly been a nightmare. Things went wrong on day 1, when they found a leaking water pipe, and then many things went wrong after that. The kitchen should have taken two weeks in total, they started July 13th. DH had the first week off, and I had the second week off. I then had the week after that off to get everything back in, and the room decorated etc, however the kitchen was not finished. And is still not finished. I will eventually take some photo's, and I have still not uploaded the before pictures, to be honest by the end of week 1 I wanted to move. I had totally lost interest in the new kitchen, and still don't have much interest in it. On Saturday, they came and replaced all the drawer and door fronts (this was the 3rd time for a couple of them!) The replacements are not the same as the first ones they put on, slightly different colour and finish - not sure I like them. They had to be replaced as they had fitted the wrong sized handles on. One of the problems with the doors near the oven is that the coating has buckled a couple of times, and again within 4 minutes of the guy leaving on Saturday. I spent every day of my two weeks off waiting in for people, be it electricians, plumbers, tilers or kitchen fitters. I am not at my best if I cannot get out of the house, I'm a bit like a caged animal. If I can get out of the house, I can quite happily stay in all week, but remove my freedom and I don't like it. I have not done a lot of stitching, I've just not been in the mood. I did pick a couple of things up, and stitch little bits, I have done a couple of needlerolls, one was for a friend from my cross stitch club, who turned 60 last week. I will eventually get around to publishing photo's. Apologies to my HOE Summer House partner, who I have not posted to yet, and the deadline was 30 July. I really need to get my act together. I returned to work last week, to find changes at work, not ones I wanted, but I'll have to live with them (they start next week-17th). And I was so shattered when I came home from work each night last week, that I couldn't keep my eyes open. I currently have nearly 700 blog posts to read -I'll only be looking at pictures! And if you've made it to the end of this post - well done, and thanks for sticking with me.

Sun must shine on blue-sky research
Nobel laureate Serge Haroche wants more long-term support for budding researchers
Young researchers in Europe need support to carry out ambitious projects, and the relatively short-term nature of politics should not undermine the long-term funding needs of science and the kinds of problems it can help to solve.
That's according to physicist and Nobel laureate Prof Serge Haroche who wants to see more investment at European and national levels into "curiosity-driven" research. He was one of several scientific and mathematical heavy hitters who signed an open letter published last month in various media across Europe, including The Irish Times.
Lamenting that the EU has not become the "world's most dynamic knowledge-based economy", the letter warns against reducing the funding for excellent, fundamental research. "It is essential that we support, and even more importantly, inspire in a pan-European way the extraordinary wealth of research and innovation potential that exists all over Europe," it states. "We are convinced that the younger generation of researchers will also make its voice heard – and governments should listen to what they have to say."
More than 40 Nobel laureates and six awardees of the Fields medal – the International Medal for Outstanding Discoveries in Mathematics – put their names to the letter.
Meanwhile, an online petition that supports the letter and is co-ordinated by the Initiative for Science in Europe has already been signed by about 150,000 people from around the world. They include about 1,400 signatories based in Ireland. (See the website at: iti.ms/TBp8ez)
Against this backdrop, Prof Haroche argues that Europe needs to see the value of fundamental science and to help young people to put their research careers on a decent footing. At present, the European Research Council (ERC) provides funding for blue-sky research – theoretical research that may not yield a result – and Haroche currently gets an ERC grant. But he wants to see more long-term support for researchers who are starting out.
Curiosity-driven research
"It is important to fund young researchers who want to do curiosity-driven research," says Haroche, who is administrator and professor of quantum physics at the Collège de France and carries out his research at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.
"Curiosity-driven research is a part of life. Some people are curious. They want to learn more about nature and society should help that. It's like art: you can learn more and bring more beauty."
He also makes a more utilitarian argument: that curiosity-driven research can lead to practical applications down the road.
"Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries," he says, noting how early forays into space have yielded technologies we use on Earth today, such as GPS. "That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology," he explains.
Those early missions also inspired Prof Haroche as a schoolboy to become interested in the links between science and nature, and he used what he was learning in maths to work out how rockets and satellites could get into space.
"It is hard to rationalise or explain why you love what you love," he says. "But I have always been interested in science and maths, and in high school I was struck that you could use maths to understand nature and science."
That curiosity led him to later work with lasers, which he used to research how light can manipulate atoms. That, in turn, paved the way for his groundbreaking experiments to observe how photons interact with atoms in supercooled cavities.
"We thought it would be nice to have atoms interact in such a gentle way with the photons that they would just take an imprint of the photons, so that many atoms could 'see' the same photon and it would give rise to a lot of interesting effects," recalls Haroche. "Myself and my colleagues had this project for a very long time and we were finally able to observe it."
His research resulted in him sharing the 2012 Nobel Prize for physics with Prof David Wineland "for groundbreaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems".
The potential applications of being able to measure light or atoms with such precision are open, according to Haroche, but they could include improving the GPS system, more sensitive warning systems for earthquakes and maybe even more secure online communications.
Long-term needs
Yet today a researcher might find it a challenge to secure funding for the kind of fundamental science that has built to this point, notes Haroche.
"When I was starting out and looking for funding, I never had to pretend that my research was going to be applied for something. It was blue-sky research, and this is very important for young scientists."
In particular, researchers who are starting out and who have an ambitious goal need long-lasting funding, according to Prof Haroche. "The problems that research has to solve – like how we generate and use energy and how we can understand and address climate change – they need long-term projects," he says.
"But the politicians and governments who give the money are elected on short-term programmes. This is a contradiction and I think it is a big challenge that Europe faces."
He is also concerned that national funding systems will rely too much on European agencies such as the ERC to take care of the curiosity-driven research and will decrease their own recurrent funding for blue-sky science accordingly. "That would not be very helpful," he says.
So what can be done?
One move Prof Haroche would like to see would be extended "junior" grants to support young researchers in Europe with big ideas for at least a decade so they can achieve long-term goals: "The system has to trust the bright people," he says.

There's been an increase in lesbian visibility in Hollywood over the years, and we couldn't be happier. Or could we? (Always.) I mean, what if we could just completely take over? All movies, all gay, all the time!
In our dreams, right? Yes, but also in the iLove Film Girls calendar from two London-based lesbians, photographer Nadia Attura and make-up artist Mercury.
Together, the women created movie posters for 12 mainstream films, using sexy queer women in the place of the typical boring male stars, and giving the names a Sapphic spin.
Attura told Australia's SX News:
Mission accomplished. Plus, it's hilarious. Let's take a look at a few months:
There was nothing inherently sexy about Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut of a heist gone wrong. Probably because it was devoid of women. Seriously, a non-stop guy party. If any movie needed some ladies involved, it's this one. At least they'd get the job done right.
Sure, I sort of feel like I'm in junior high laughing at this one, as it's almost too obvious. It probably took about two seconds to decide how to queer this one up. It's the staging of the photo that makes it so good.
Johnny Depp is pretty for a man, but I'd take a queer Captain Jackie Sparrow over him any day. She reminds me less of Keith Richards.
This one makes early '90s inner-city L.A. look more like a Yo Majesty! show than a struggle against drugs and violence. And let's face it: on the hood is way hotter than in the hood.
You probably already had a crush on Princess Leia, but you were heartbroken she fell for Han Solo. At least the Leia-like lesbian in this photo actually plays for our team. And Han Solo's outfit doesn't look so awful when it's on a lady. Bonus!
Other films covered include Mary Just Popped In, The Sexorcist, Pulp Friction, Fannie, Trannyspotting and The Godmuffa. Do you see any missed opportunities, such as a play on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?

Having problems with your Logitech X-230 Computer Speakers ?
Noise coming from speaker with controls
\015 Here's my problem. I've had these speakers for years and have not had a problem with them till recently. The speakers were not in use for about 1 month and while they were not being used they were turned off. I attempted using the speakers last night when I discovered a very loud/annoying sound coming from the right speaker only (the speaker with the controls). The sound almost sounds like the waves of the ocean but it's very loud. Any suggestions on getting this noise/sound to dissolve?\015

Brandon Butler Poems
You Can Never Tell
If I had waited if only I didn't leave then maybe we'd be maybe we would have stayed
Four Letter Lie
Singing the song brought apon from thy fawn
Kill, split, hit in the back of the head One shot till dead, For who and only who Being only but you.
In Light That My Heart Is Dead
In the light that my heart is dead. As if cold and broken
Stay The Same
I cant stop this madness i cant stop this pain it keeps hurting why wont it stop please make it go away
Before I Felt This I Felt Love
Locked in the mind of my past Wanting to grow ut feel so alone Not just waiting but searching No closure close to what I need
As I Began
As I began If only I know how to say I'd ask for nothing more nothing less. That love be and will always be
Scent Of Beauty
Necture of diven quench my thirst Filled in glass baneth thy earth Tamed lanes pave scene obscure Laughing in ties blessed by a cure
An Epic
In an epic The earth is gray Matter weeped, sweat filled
The World
In a sense this world is so veil. So lost if not from beauty. Not gold, not pressious. Old and gray.
Nothing Left Nothing Lived
As if he told her his only hope. 'To be love and be loved by your' Telling the story of My tail-
In a sense I write for nothing. I'm really not doing this to tell you anything. Telling you of the times we once laid in bed Thinking of the end as morbid thoughts spread.
As I write this in vein. Pain stained as insane. To want to have forget, those who move to be wed. The days bring dim cold sorrow. Of only ill dim moons follow.
My Oh My
There in the woods Take breaths as I could I stood with my hood covering

Bathroom Furniture
How to choose bathroom furniture.
The choice of bathroom furniture – is a very responsible and difficult task. Buying furniture for bathroom, you can face with a large choice of materials and style directions. To choose not only beautiful but qualitative furniture for bathroom in this variety of offers is quite difficult, but there are basic rules of selection bathroom furniture.
Give preference to the furniture, designed specifically for your bathroom. It is provided with protection to prevent moisture and, as a result swelling. Pay attention to the materials from which furniture is assembled, the outer and inner cover and of course design. Pay attention to such seemingly insignificant little things like fittings. It completes the style of the furniture and makes cabinets attractive. Hinges have to be tight and firm, firmly bolted to the walls and doors. Handles desirable to be with chrome plating, in order not to upset you, after a short period of time, with their flaky appearance.
The furniture that is installed on the floor can be on feet or with plinth. Cabinets on feet are much more convenient because under them is easier to clean floor and furniture is well ventilated. In case you by accident spill water on the floor, plastic feet will protect cabinet from swelling. In addition, if in the bathroom is installed under-floor heating, it is strongly recommended to give preference to furniture on feet.
When selecting furniture for bathroom pay attention to its functionality. Distance between the shelves should be wide enough, to fit powder and softener. A convenient option will be a cabinet with a flap and build in laundry basket.
Bathroom design
Thinking about designing – bathroom renovation project, it is important to take in consideration the universal rule: bathroom furniture have to be functional, comfortable and beautiful.
Bathroom interior design can be made in the same style with the apartment or absolutely different from other rooms. It depends only of your taste. The bathroom furniture choice has to be made first of all based on the bathroom size. Before paying for the cabinet and side table that you liked you should carefully measure the bathroom space. Even better would be to draw a draft of your future bathroom project on paper and mark the location of furniture, plumbing and communications. Of course the owners of large ensuite bathrooms are a lot easier to implement any fantasy, while the design of small bathrooms will require a more careful furniture selection. If you have a small bathroom, choose furniture with glossy or mirror coating, they visually increase the space. And do not forget the most important – intensive lightning.
If you have free areas give preference to a particular stylistic direction. Classic style furniture is relevant in any interior, and in combination with Venetian plaster it will stand out in a completely new way. Very interesting looks an interior made in country style with light colour furniture. Minimalistic style does not submit its positions. But whatever style you choose for your bathroom, furniture has to be selected in order to combine with finishing and plumbing. A perfect choice – is the same texture of the walls and furniture and accessories from one collection.

Modern bathroom furniture, presented in our catalogues, is manufactured using the most advanced technologies and possesses such perfect qualities like, moisture resistance, impact resistance and durability. Our furniture combines MDF density fibreboard and qualitative lustrous coating, with thickness of 1.3 mm.

Where to buy bathroom furniture in Chisinau
Acquisition of bathroom furniture belongs to the category of purchases that needs special attention and time. Agree that we do not change furniture in the bathroom very often. Therefore we should choose the place of purchase very carefully. Bathroom furniture should not be acquired on street markets, as sellers do not comply with the rules of furniture storage and transportation. Very often on the markets you can see furniture made in basements and garages by the local craftsmen. Its quality and durability is under question of course.
In plumbing store SaniGrup you can buy high-quality furniture for bathrooms that will last for very long. In the store are presented best examples of bathroom furniture of national production at the best prices. This is really high-qualitative bathroom furniture, without compromises.

BOSTON - The moment of truth, or perhaps it was a truce, came late in the afternoon while the Boston Red Sox began to vacate the field so their opponent could take batting practice. Players on both teams got close enough to land punches. Elderly coaches were placed in harm's way again.
The seconds seemed to pass like hours, but everyone made nice. The Red Sox walked undisturbed into their home clubhouse. Manny Ramirez didn't charge the mound, Pedro Martinez didn't drill anyone in the back.
Keeping with their usual routine, the New York Yankees separated for pre-game running and infield drills. Their only swings came inside the cage.

When someone ask me, what is hair dryer to me! Than i would say, it can make your life as well sometime ruin it. Using it properly with no wrongs in it, will usrely make your life. And today with various emerging hair treatment, hair dryers plays the important role in all the treatments. It helps to dry your hair in seconds and give them the proper shape! After your hair cut all you need is a proper blow dryer which can only be possible with a hair dryer. Besides using them over hair, here are some of the alternate or i would say, unsual uses of hair dryer.
Table of Contents
1. helps to get a fog free mirror:
When you happen to have a good shower, the most common thing you encounter is a foggy miror. This is terribly irratating and iresistable too. So, the next time you go to bathroom and want a fog free mirror just air dry your mirror with the help of hair dryer. The blow dryer helps to remove all the mositure from the mirror as well as helps to avoid getting foggy next time. Just 5-10 minutes of air dry can help to keep the mirror fog free.
2. Helps to remove crayon from walls:
If you have kids at your home, there are chances they roam around with crayon and get their beautifully painting done everywhere. So, if they have done a crayong painting over your wall than you can easily get rid of them with the help of hair dryer. Blow dry the targeted area and then blow air it continuosly for 30 minutes. (make sure you on and off the dryer, and avoid over heating). The heat released from the blow dryer helps to melt the crayon which results in coming out easily. The crayon starts to melt and then come out of the wall easily.
3. Helps to calm down the chilly sheets:
Generally in winter season, you can see the chilly sheets in your refregigarator which becomes impossible to pull any product out. So, for this purpose you can use a hair dryer to melt the ice and also remove any product from within easily. Make sure you blow dry directly over the sheet, and hold the dryer in such a position that the water does not gets into it.
4. Helps to melt the chocalate completely:
So, do you love cooking or baking with chocalate? If yes, melting chocalte takes too much time and fuel too. Next time you want to melt the chocalate, you can use a blow dryer. Using a blow dryer you can melt the chocalate completeley. You shoudl remove the goldne paper first and then start melting the chocalate with the blow dryer.
Blow dryer helps to remove tags and stickers from different product. We generally pull them out vigirously, which leaves a part of it behind on the product. Slighly blow over the sticker to remoev the addhesive glue from it. Now blow it from all the corners and try to pull it slighltley. The tag will slowly come out and you can pull the rest out easily.
6. helps to defrost your pipes in winters:
Use a blow dryer to defrost your pipes in winters. Due to frozen and choked pipes, it leads to a complete mess in kitchen. The water is not able to drain properly and all gets reversed to the sink. Blow dryer can be a savior at such time. Hold a blow dryer from outside the pipe and maintain a little distance so that the plastic does not gets melted due to heat.

Lester Holt needs to be fact checked.
He introduced the first presidential debate by saying it was sponsored by the "non-partisan" Commission on Presidential Debates.
The Commission is bipartisan.
The Commission is composed entirely of establishment Republican and Democratic former party officers. No one on the commission represents the plurality of American voters — and the majority of new voters — who are independents, let alone the other parties.
It was a mediocre debate, with Hillary Clinton giving a non-stop smug, toothy, smile, the kind of thing that lost a debate for an eye-rolling Al Gore, and Donald Trump held in check as he went into the weeds, defending himself on boring points about his personal business life, and probably angering Ann Coulter by failing to mention his signature issue of illegal immigration and unvetted immigrants. It would have been much more interesting with Governor Gary Johnson — or anyone else — to challenge them both.
Trump left a lot of money on the table, frittering away his time trying to explain why he hadn't released his tax returns, and allowing Clinton to place him in the unique position of being lectured by the queen of mendacity on how he must be hiding something.
Clinton meanwhile produced the kind of bumperstickers and sound bites like "Trumped Up Trickle Down" that motivate her base of low information voters, who won't be prodded by a pro-Hillary media to wonder how Reagan's "trickle down" economics from the 1980s could cause an economic crisis in 2008, after the Clintons were in the White House for eight years in the 1990s.
Too much of the debate consisted of Hillary telling people to go read her website.
For example, Hillary insisted that unlike Trump, she has a plan to defeat ISIS — which we can read on her website. Not having read her website, this debate told me nothing.
Perhaps her plan to defeat ISIS consists of sending classified emails from her unsecured private server listing ISIS leaders and naming them as CIA assets or double agents so they kill each other. Trump often failed to mention Hillary's criminal recklessness with classified documents.
As University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato observed in post debate analysis: "During a discussion on cybersecurity, Trump failed to bring up Clinton's use of private emails as a potential cybersecurity issue." That was the equivalent of "missing the biggest, easiest softball lobbed right down the heart of the plate," as our Twitter pal @EsotericCD put it."
For the past few days everywhere I've gone in the DC metropolitan area, Hillary supporters have been depressed.
Last Saturday, at the Arlington Gay and Lesbian Association picnic in Crystal City, Virginia, the one policy wonk in the group, a tax policy journalist, decided to eat the delicious BBQ provided (from the local Rocklands franchise) sitting across from me, because I was wearing a Johnson-Weld shirt. He pitched me every Clinton talking point ("the economy is doing so great – stocks are up and people have jobs!") He also expressed fear that Trump would be elected.
The morning before the debate, at the gay-owned gym Vida, a local TV reporter told me "Trump is doing really well. Hillary is doing well with millennials — but millennials who are actually registered to vote lean more to Trump."
When I pointed out to him that in a recent Nate Silver/538 post about DC Trump was up to 23 percent (Republican registration is only 7 percent of DC voters, and Romney only got 6 percent of the vote in DC) so that must include African Americans (DC being 49 percent black) he responded: "A lot of blacks like Trump, because they hate illegal immigrants and think he will be good for the economy." I said "maybe they just don't like the Clintons," and he expressed a somewhat "illiberal" thought that, "They are mad because of (Bill) Clinton's welfare reform."
I visited two leftist debate parties, and watched the debate at one co-sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, the Latino Victory Fund, and the Environmental Defense Fund. Congressman Mark Tanaka and Veep wannabe Julian Castro tried to warm up the crowd on a bad sound system. A light sprinkling of press including the gay paper The Washington Blade and an Argentinian reporter interviewed the 150 half Latin, half white (very few blacks or Asians) crowd. They were largely cheered by Hillary's performance, as were the presenters on MSNBC.
Earlier in the evening I attended another debate party whose guest of honor was Obama ghost writer and unconvicted terrorist Bill Ayers, who was launching a new book at DC's socialist bookstore Busboys and Poets.
His first question, after his book talk and before the debate began, was from a septuagenarian communist who asked why Ayers had given up on revolutionary violence (Ayers' website features a red star logo). After an evasive answer Ayers returned to the topic later when answering a question from a Venezuelan immigrant with Ayers telling the audience that leftist factions here need to follow their Venezuelan brothers by learning how to get together to take power.
This debate may not much effect which faction will be taking power here this November.
The results of Lee Carter of Maslansky & Partners "dial" polling of group of voters fits with what I think is true of voters generally – this debate mainly provided confirmation bias, where Hillary and Trump supporters each saw what they wanted and were confirmed in what they already believed.
A small number may have been driven to Jill Stein or Gary Johnson by Hillary's smugness or Trump's lack of debate preparation. As Larry Sabato summed it up in his release in the wee hours of the morning: "This debate might not ultimately make much difference, but if it re-energizes Democrats after weeks of sagging enthusiasm, that will be a victory for her campaign. If it does not, she might be in quite a bit of trouble."

Livingston Parish government is headed to court again — this time, against itself — to determine which branch has the authority to pay a bill.
The case involves a pair of defamation lawsuits filed against Parish Council members Marshall Harris and Cindy Wale personally for comments they made for a WBRZ-TV report that aired in March 2013.
The report claimed that former council Clerk Mary Kistler, who is now Parish President Layton Ricks' executive assistant, changed the wording of a resolution to allow Alvin Fairburn & Associates, Ricks' former employer, to bill for road engineering work the council had not authorized.
The Parish Council repeatedly has voted to pay for Harris' and Wale's legal defense, but Ricks has refused to cut the check.
The council voted 6-1 Thursday night to file a lawsuit seeking a court order to force Ricks to pay the bill. Harris and Wale abstained from the vote.
Council Chairman Ricky Goff said the issue is not about the pair's legal bills; it's about clarifying the parish president's duties under Livingston's Home Rule Charter.
"We need to get a decision on this part of the charter: that when the council passes a resolution, the president should carry out those responsibilities," Goff said.
In 2011, then-Parish President Mike Grimmer refused — despite two Parish Council resolutions — to pay the Fairburn firm for road engineering work Grimmer said was unauthorized and overbilled.
Fairburn filed a lawsuit in state court, arguing the parish president has no authority under the parish's charter to veto or disregard a resolution expressing the will of the council.
"It doesn't say the president's veto authority shall not apply to resolutions unless the president thinks it's not owed or unless the president doesn't agree with the resolution," Fairburn's attorney, Julie Baxter, argued in court Sept. 2, 2011. "His remedy, quite frankly, your honor, is to either convince the council not to pass the resolution or to in the next election make sure that there are new council members there."
Baxter argued on Fairburn's behalf that the president has no discretion under the charter to decide whether he will "faithfully execute the council's act."
Judge Zoey Waguespack, of the 21st Judicial District Court, agreed and ordered Grimmer to sign the check.
Grimmer appealed the decision but lost the parish president's race in November 2011 before the 1st Circuit Court of Appeal could hear the case.
Ricks signed the disputed $453,000 check immediately after taking office in January 2012, saying the council resolutions and court order compelled him to do so.
In the legal fees dispute, however, Ricks has argued that a state attorney general's opinion supports his stance in not paying the bill until the lawsuits are over.
The attorney general's opinion, issued Oct. 7, says the Parish Council could choose to pay the bill if it determines Harris and Wale were acting as public officials when they made the comments.
However, the opinion also recommends the parish withhold payment until the lawsuits are over, in case the court decides the council members acted outside the scope of their official duties and should be held personally liable for their comments.
Ricks said Livingston Parish taxpayers do not want him to pay the bill, and he urged the council not to file their lawsuit.
"To sue a fellow member of the government and spend more taxpayer dollars when I never said I would not pay, I think is just a misuse of funding," Ricks said. "And I hate to see us start suing one another. We've got enough lawsuits and enough things going on."
Councilwoman Sonya Collins also was against the move and voted no, but another frequent Ricks ally on the council, Joan Landry, supported seeking a court order to compel payment.
"This council, by resolution, which you're supposed to follow, voted to pay their bill whether they win or lose," Landry told Ricks before the vote. "And I'm sorry it's gone to this point, but you can stop it if you wanted to. Not us. You can stop it. You can pay the bill."

Music I'm relaxing to — Parsley the Lion. I can listen to this all day long. So cute!
"I'm a very friendly lion called Parsley,

Best podcast episode I found this week — I'll be getting back on the podcast habit soon.
What I'm watching — A series of British animation introduced to me by Simon P. The Clangers, The Herbs. "Herbidacious!" was the secret word you used to open the magic door to the garden of The Herbs. I also watched Trumpton.
Something saving me time — The Jetstar check-in kiosk at the Changi International Airport. Not having to queue up at the airport has freed up time for more lounging around in the transit area!
Quote that has influenced my mindset — "Now, if there's no countercurse, why am I showing you? Because you've got to know. You've got to appreciate what the worst is. You don't want to find yourself in a situation where you're facing it. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" —'Mad-Eye' Moody (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling)
