Family news News & Gossip 0 Charities warn of the emotional issues linked with uncontrolled contact with natural parents through social networking sites UPDATE 13:07 05/01/2012: Following this story a Facebook spokesperson got in contact with us to tell us, "Protecting the people who use Facebook has always been our top priority. We provide a safe and more trusted online environment by design, offering people industry-leading tools to control what they share and with whom they share it. These controls help protect children and parents involved in adoption from unwanted contact online. We encourage adoptive and foster parents and children to adjust their privacy settings to control who can contact them on Facebook. These settings allow you to control who can send you messages and friend requests, who can see photos and personal information, as well as how you can be found in search. These privacy settings also allow you to block people who you don't want any contact with. Unlike many other communication platforms, Facebook also has a robust reporting system in place and our users do and can report people who are contacting them without due consent." Natural parents using Facebook and other social networking sites to contact children they put up for adoption is on the rise, according to the charity Adoption UK. With the ease of use of the internet for many youngsters, it's believed it's now more likely adopted children will hear from their birth parents before they've turned 18. This type of uncontrolled and unplanned contact is often in breach of contract. Jonathan Pearce, chief executive of Adoption UK, claims that unsupported communication has already had a dramatic impact on adoption. Children have reportedly heard from their biological parents after being put into care back in the 1990s. The British Association for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF) has previously warned that the ability to search for photos or names on the web will make tracing natural parents easier. But as David Holmes, chief executive of BAAF, notes, it's not that social media needs to be targeted as a source of disruption to adoption, but that steps need to be taken to help understand how it can be used positively and safely throughout the adoption process.

The 30-year-old, who is entering his ninth season at Chelsea, compared the atmosphere to when he arrived from Rennes for £7m with a raft of other high-profile expensive signings almost a decade ago.
"In 2004 when I joined it was pretty similar," Cech explained. "You had the guys who had been here and had experience, and we were seven or eight new players coming in, completely hungry and ready to show we were worth it."
Cech arrived after Roman Abramovich acquired Chelsea and was part of a second-wave of huge spending that included Didier Drogba, Arjen Robben, Ricardo Carvalho under the new manager, a certain Jose Mourinho, who then went on to win back-to-back Premier League titles.
This summer Chelsea have already acquired Eden Hazard, for close to £35m, Oscar for £25m (in a deal that is still to be confirmed), Marko Marin for £6.5m and are in the market for a striker, chasing £20m-rated Andre Schurrle and a right-back with the 22-year-old captain of Spain's Olympic team, Cesar Azpilicueta, who has been told he can leave Marseille, the most likely addition.
Added to that are a number of other young players acquired over the past two years, at vast expense, including Juan Mata, Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, Thibault Courtois and 18-year-old Lucas Piazon who scored his first senior goal for Chelsea in Sunday's 1-1 friendly against Paris St-Germain in New York.
It means the changes Andre Villas-Boas's was charged with making are now being pushed through with his replacement, Roberto Di Matteo, confirmed as Chelsea's permanent manager.
"We still have experienced players, and we have the young, new, positive, hungry, motivated players who are great to have in.
"And they are here to show that they are not just here by 'Hazard' – by accident!" Cech joked, in reference to the Belgian midfielder.
"But it's true that they want to show that they are quality players, that's why Chelsea brought them in, and want them to be a part of this team."
Asked whether it could be the start of a new era at Chelsea, with experienced, older players such as Didier Drogba leaving and with doubts over the futures of Michael Essien and Florent Malouda, and with the club having finally won the Champions League, Cech said: "It does feel like that because we have a new manager even though he was here at the end of last season he was the interim manager. And we have new players.
"Obviously it was a huge moment in the club's history to have won the Champions League. Although even if we stayed with the same players we would still have to say it's a new era because it was the first time the club has won the Champions League and it was the only trophy missing in our cabinet."
The confirmation of Di Matteo on a two-year contract, with a break clause after the first year however, has been a boon for the club also, given the Italian's measured style which has led to what Cech admitted was the calmest period since he was signed at what is continually the Premier League's most dramatic club.
"So far everyone is enjoying the moment of being European champions," Cech said.
"You just get to feel it from everywhere. People are still so full of emotions. When we won the Champions League the season was over so everyone disappeared.
"So this (pre-season tour) is the first real moment we've had to enjoy it because everyone speaks about and it reminds you of the great feelings we had when we won it. It was a great moment but as soon as the season starts we will have to forget about.
"Everyone starts at zero again and it will be tougher because everyone will be more motivated against the European champions and everyone will want to beat us."
The challenge during the forthcoming campaign is not just to try and retain the Champions League title but also close the gap on the Manchester clubs, City and United, who finished a daunting 25 points ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea.
Even if Chelsea were, undoubtedly, distracted by the Champions League and FA Cup, it's still an astonishing gap to bridge.
"We've said it was our worst season in terms of points in the league since I joined the club – but that was compensated by winning the Champions League and FA Cup," Cech explained.
"It just shows you how incredible sport can be. If you keep believing and keep working you can get your reward. Last season everything was dull until the moment we won the FA Cup and then came the extreme finish at Munich (in the Champions League Final).
"You can see if you keep believing and working hard you will get your rewards. And we have to take credit for that because we never said die.
"That was the sort of mentality we had as a club over the last eight years and we want to continue that. We want to now have a completely different season in terms of the league position and performances.
"Obviously we would like to repeat the glory of last year if it's possible."
Cech himself has signed a new four-year deal at Chelsea.
"I feel I'm a big part of this club," he said. "We, as a club, are ambitious and successful every year, and that's what I'm looking for as a player so there was no need to change. I really like the prospect of the Premier League as well because I really do enjoy being part of this circus."

TASK 2: Gas reforming
The main problem in the steam reforming of hydrocarbon-laden gasification gas
is the formation of soot, coke and other carbon compounds in the steam
reformer reactor (Figure 1). Depending on the process conditions, like
pressure and temperature, different forms of coke may appear, some of which
are more hazardous to the process than others. To ensure trouble free
operation of the reformer, it is essential to control the soot formation in
all process conditions including process shut-downs, start-ups and
The coking phenomenon has been studied earlier at VTT when a few preliminary
tests were carried out with a pressurised thermobalance, and currently a set
of coking experiments are done with the pressurised fixed bed reactor for a
Master's thesis. These results will direct the course of the research in this

Bye Bye BOA
Posted on January 27th 2009 under Uncategorized
So this used to be the Bank of America building on Centre Street but after they closed the branch late last year, local businessman, Don Shaw, purchased it with the intent to open a family friendly restaurant in its place. It hasn't happened yet but we're all enthusiastic about the prospect because most of our restaurants in town are higher end – wonderful, but a little out of reach for some families. Don, the owner of Books Plus Bookstore in town, always does everything well so we're sure that this will be a success as well.

Mr. Dogbert Looks Elegant Today
It certainly is not Mr. Dogbert. He looks so regal, I bet he gets all the ladies. I don't actually know if this is a male or female dog at all, I just usually assign gender based on my instinct. I also made up the name Mr. Dogbert, feel free to use it in the future.

In what is yet another recent and troubling collaboration between the long-established anti-immigrant movement and the ever-emerging Islamophobia movement in this country, at 1pm next Tuesday, Feb 5, the group America's Survival will hold a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
The scheduled speakers are Pamela Geller of Stop Islamization of America & the American Freedom Defense Initiative, one of the leaders of the anti-Muslim/Islam movement in the US; Cliff Kincaid of America's Survival and Accuracy in Media, one of the well-springs of the conspiracy driven far-Right; and Jerry Kenney, founder of the Kenney Broadcasting Corporation. The event will underscore both Geller's and Kincaid's overlapping obsessions with a conspiracy regularly referred to as "cultural jihad," or the bigoted notion that implicit within Muslims plans to overtake and then oppress Western cultures is the incremental, peaceful supplanting of existing markers of a traditional culture with those of strident political Islam.
The announcement reads:
"America's Survival holds a news conference to call on Congress to investigate the sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera, arguing that it represents a homeland security threat."
If the America's Survival website is anything to go by, we should be very worried. Seventeen of the most recent eighteen postings there scream forth over the impending threat that "Terror TV" poses to our shared freedoms. Geller is concerned because, as she phrased it before the audience gathered for the 2013 Maryland Conservative Action Network conference (MD CAN) back in mid-January, "the [American] media enforces the blasphemy laws of Sharia."
There, Geller highlighted the topic at hand. "This is a fight I've been involved in, led by Cliff Kincaid," she said, "they're buying access."
She went on to proclaim:
"It's like the Nazis in World War II. [They're] trying to destroy Western civilization from within….They [Al Jazeera] are a terror organization, and they should be designated as a terrorist group."
Kincaid agrees.
One of the the aforementioned 17 posts is titled, "Cliff Kincaid's 20-page PDF Presentation for U.S Congressional Staffers and other experts and activists on the threat posed by the terrorist-loving Al Jazeera." But the ridiculousness of this spectacle of manufactured reality stretches even further, encompassing an infamous figure from the anti-immigrant, white nationalist caballing of political activists, thinkers, and writers.
And that figure is Phil Kent, whose communications firm has been hired, presumably, by Kincaid to shape this paranoia into something possibly considered palatable by the Beltway press and beyond.
Those familiar with Kent know his vast and long-standing ties with leaders of varying extremist movements. His CV reads, in part, like this:
- From 1981-82 Kent served as press secretary and public affairs advisor for Sen. Strom Thurmond.
- Kent then served at the anti-immigrant, ethnocentric group American Immigration Control Foundation, Inc (AIC), where he serves on its board of directors and as its spokesperson. He presently serves as the group's executive director and vice-president of its 501(c)3 foundation of the same name.
- From AIC, Kent worked closely with anti-immigrant movement heavyweights, including the John Tanton founded Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The two groups have collaborated on campaigns like The Coalition for the Future of the American Worker and Arizona's Proposition 200, which was also guided by Virginia Abernathy, a self-proclaimed "ethnic separatist" and recent vice-presidential candidate for the white supremacist American 3rd Position Party.
- Over a 12 year period of its history, AIC accepted nearly $200,000 from the pro-eugenics Pioneer Fund, which seeks to fund projects that promote, in large part, the notion that whites are genetically superior to blacks and other races.
- At one time Kent was director of communications for U.S. Immigration Reform PAC, formerly known as FAIR PAC, the personal political action committee of Mary Lou Tanton, John's wife. Her PAC is staffed almost exclusively with influential figures from across her husband's constellation of various nativist organizations.
- He is also chair of the national board of advisors of the anti-immigrant group ProEnglish, where he also sits on the board of directors alongside Tanton, who founded the group after being expelled from US English after a racist memo authored by Tanton was made public. ProEnglish is presently headed by Robert Vandervoort, a white nationalist activist who previously operated Chicagoland Friends of American Renaissance, a group linked to Jared Taylor.
- Controversially, Kent was appointed to the State of Georgia Immigration Enforcement Review board by Gov. Nathan Deal in September of 2011.
- Kent has been credited as a "founding member" of the neo-Confederate League of the South, an organization that has referred to slavery as "God ordained" and claimed that "the Negroes are better off today because of it."
- And then there's the leadership of AIC's dedicated involvement within the Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC), a group that openly refers to African-Americans as "a retrograde species of humanity"–Sam Francis, AIC's one-time board chair and editor-in-cheif of the CofCC's newspaper; Brent Nelson, an AIC board member and president of CofCC's Conservative Citizens Council; John Vinson, AIC Foundation's executive director and contributor to CofCC's newspaper.
Via those three men alone, AIC and its foundation has established connections to the white nationalist/supremacist journal The Occidental Quarterly, the American Third Position Party, and the anti-immigrant, white nationalist website VDARE.com. Yet, at the MD CAN conference, Geller mocked the fact the many sources point out that she's involved with "hate groups."
She also boomed that, "Truth is a recognition of reality."
When one recognizes that Help Save Maryland, an official FAIR state-contact group, sponsored Geller's MD CAN appearance, and with anti-immigrant power players like Tanton's Center for Immigration Studies sponsoring of an event for another Islamophobia master builder, Frank Gaffney, the reality is this–the anti-immigrant and Islamophobia movements in our country are mutually exploring their intersecting investments in the ethnic fear-trade.

Topic: Fragrance (10/24/05)
TITLE: Fragrance of love (ii)
By Karen Ward
"She's allergic." I shrugged, hoping my look was appropriately serious and not too amused. I crawled to retrieve the fallen glasses.
The twinkle in Mili's eye turned to bubbling laughter as I struggled to return the errant pairs to their unhelpful stand.
"Thanks for your help!"
"No worries." She giggled.
Myer's Christmas after hours shopping evenings had become a tradition for us. Each year we ignored the pleas of husbands and housework, left the kids at home and nabbed some bargains while sipping on champagne and sampling tasty delights!
"Look! There's another man with curry puffs, let's chase him!"
My turn to laugh now, as Mili accosted him, and raided his tray.
"Now that you have food, can we do toys? I'm keen to get Christmas out of the way tonight."
Mili nodded, and shoved the last half of her curry puff in, dabbing at the pastry flakes left behind. She made me laugh, but our relationship ran deep after 10 years of accountability dates. When I became a Christian, we met weekly to walk and share our deepest thoughts. Post kids, we were lucky to make it once a month. Tonight was a double date. Accountability and shopping.
"So," we headed for the lift, curry puff finally devoured. "how are you and God?" Mili never was one for a lengthy lead in!
"OK, I think. I'm back to reading my Bible. I should have sent the kids to school sooner!" Mili smiled, knowing how I had struggled with letting them go.
"What about you?"
"Good. Been thinking about the fragrance of love."
"Fragrance of love?" One raised eyebrow conveyed my bemusement.
"Remember the song 'Let our praise to you be as incense'?"
"It's about our worship being a fragrant offering to God right?"
"Right." I held up a toy guitar for Mili's approval. "Jaime?"
I added it to the trolley.
"Did you listen to the sermon at Kiera's wedding?"
"It was mostly about kindness. When we are selfless in acts of love, I think that's like a fragrant offering to God. I like to imagine my kindness producing smoke like incense, wafting its way up to the throne of God, where He sniffs its fragrance and looks lovingly down at me."
"OK." My mind was just beginning to catch up to her thoughts.
Mili headed for Thomas the Tank Engine as I pondered her words.
I recalled the wedding. Kiera had glowed. Her preparation and care were evident. Not a hair out of place, make up superb, perfect bride. We were meant to be the bride of Christ. Was I prepared? Was I clothed in a way that would light up Jesus' face like Kiera lit up Greg's?
I grimaced, remembering the way I'd yelled at the kids before I left because they hadn't cleaned their rooms. The cursory kiss I'd given Tom as I'd rushed out the door. Not exactly a fragrant offering.
I liked the concept. It was encouraging, easy to picture. Mili had always been more visual than I. How could I make a fragrant offering of love to Tom and the kids?
The kids always wanted time, maybe a trip to the zoo?
Passing a mirrored surface, I thought about how I'd let my appearance go. Rugby tops and tracky daks were my daily staples. Maybe it was time to think about new clothes. I could even get my make up done. Mili would approve. She cared far more for appearances than I ever had. She would jump at the chance to make me over.
"Mili?" She turned, Harold the helicopter in hand. "How would you feel about going back to make up?"
Her eyebrows raised as she silently questioned me.
"I think I'm going to have a make over. Call it an offering of love."
Catching on quickly, her grin burst forth.
"Let's go before you change your mind. Tom will love this. And God knows what a sacrifice it is for you!" She laughed, knowing my tendency to disdain such frivolous endeavours.
"Maybe we can find that perfume girl and turn you into a truly fragrant offering!"
"Sunglasses beware!" We linked arms and headed our trolley for the lift.

The rules are easy for players to pick up and complex enough to give the Fixer (GM) many opportunities to challenge the players.

Now they are asking fans to tweet pictures of themselves eating discounted hotdogs to make fun of Anthony Weiner on a "Salute to Scandal Night."
The AA farm club of the World Champion Giants set the attendance record for an Eastern League team after dropping from the AAA-level in 2008 and going a year without a team in 2009. The Flying Squirrels audacious logo was chosen as Ballpark Digest's best logo of the year.
Ironically on January 14, 2008 I drove from my childhood home in Richmond, Virginia, to my then home in Gwinnett County, Georgia, where I heard a radio telecast announcing the team was moving from Richmond to Gwinnett.
Wilder, a fiscally conservative Democrat and the first African-American Governor elected in the country, refused to pursue a new stadium for the team after being elected Mayor of Richmond. The team claimed Wilder would never return attempts to communicate.

JERUSALEM, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Israel will stop its offensive action in the Gaza Strip during a three-hour visit by the Egyptian prime minister to the territory on Friday, a senior Israeli government official said.
Egypt's Prime Minister Hisham Kandil prepared to visit the Gaza Strip in an unprecedented display of solidarity with Hamas militants embroiled in a new escalation of conflict with Israel.
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to an Egyptian request to cease all offensive operations in Gaza during the visit of the Egyptian prime minister there this morning, which is supposed to last for about three hours," the official said.
"In the answer that has been forwarded to Egyptians, we've said that the Israel Defense Forces will cease fire on the condition that there won't be fire from Gaza into Israel during that period," the official said.

I promised yesterday that I would post swatches and a review of the other Glam Slam! France duo, so here it is - Rally Pretty Pink and Red Shatter.
Keep reading for the swatches and review!
Glam Slam! France Duo - Rally Pretty Pink and Red Shatter
(Rally Pretty Pink)
Rally Pretty Pink is a mauve-y pink base with tons of gold micro-glitter. The gold dominates a lot and almost takes over the base colour but it ends up being just the right balance between the colours. This was a dream to apply but it is a little on the sheer side so it needed 3 coats for the swatch of it alone that you see below. I did however only use 2 coats for the swatch of it with Red Shatter layered over it.
I have heard that this shade is an exact dupe for Zoya Faye from the recent Sunshine Collection and although I haven't tested that claim yet, I will definitely experiment with the 2 shades soon and I'll of course post a comparison for you all.
(Red Shatter)
Much like the thought of White Shatter over Spark de Triomphe from the first Glam Slam! France duo, I was skeptical about these 2 shades going together. It's still not my favourite shatter combination but it turned out better than I had originally thought and it's all thanks to the different formulation of Red Shatter. This shade of shatter polish has a different, thinner consistency than any of the others I've tried - it's kind of like a jelly, actually. As you can see from the photos, it's kind of translucent and you can see some of Rally Pretty Pink peeking through the shattered pieces. This ensures that the red doesn't dominate the manicure which is something I was concerned about with these 2 shades.
I much prefer this formula of the shatter polish as I found that it's easier to work with than the thicker, creamier formulas and it allows even more of the base colour to show through. Good job, OPI!
Rally Pretty Pink, Red Shatter over Rally Pretty Pink
Red Shatter over Rally Pretty Pink, Rally Pretty Pink
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this duo! I probably wouldn't wear the shades together myself but I do like both of them separately. I originally was only excited about Rally Pretty Pink as I already have a red crackle polish from LCN but I'm definitely glad that I now have this one from OPI because I think the formula is excellent - even better than the LCN one, which I raved about in my review.
Regarding both of the Glam Slam! duos, I am happy with all of the shades separately but I don't care much for the shatter combinations. I commend OPI for coming up with new and creative combinations that I haven't seen before but they're just not my cup of tea - I simply prefer highly contrasting shades when using crackle/shatter polish.
Shatter Polish Tips:
- Make sure your polish is dry before applying it. If it's not dry, Silver Shatter won't crackle as much and you'll be left with only a little of your base colour peeking through.
- Apply it quickly with as few amount of brush strokes as possible. SIlver Shatter is very fast acting so you don't want to play around with it, just brush it on quickly and let it do it's thing.
- The shattered pieces may flake off so for a longer lasting mani, add a top coat. But, if you like the matte finish look, skip the top coat.
- A thin coat of the shatter polish will shatter more and thus provide smaller shattered pieces on the nail.
The OPI Glam Slam! France duos are available now in professional salons. I got a professional discount for mine so the duo cost me $13.15 but I believe it's closer to $20 for non-professionals.
What do you guys think? Will you be picking up this duo? What do you think of Red Shatter over Rally Pretty Pink? Any other suggestions for colours to pair with Red Shatter?

Jay Leno's Worst Summer Ever
Poor NBC! Jay Leno's Tonight Show is currently attracting fewer viewers in the advertiser-beloved 18-49 demographic than Conan's did, and had the lowest summer ratings for any Tonight Show in history. It's still handily beating Letterman's Late Show in total viewership and in the demos, so at least he has that. [Live Feed/HR]

Nowadays, most of us don't have the luxury of grand and spacious houses let alone working that far isn't as easy if your working on a prime location.
Due to both financial and proximity reasons, most of us find ourselves in rental apartments.
If you look at it, living in an apartment rental doesn't mean you can't live in comfort and style. here are a few Tiny Apartment Renovating Tips for renovating your own piece of borrowed space.
For the sleeping area, most people think that dressers are an essential. Truth is that the top of the dresser actually just ends up as a dropping zone for your trinkets. Instead of taking precious floor space, try under-bed compartments to store clothing.
Nightstands are really for placing water, some books and an alarm clock. Instead of occupying more floor space try mounted shelves - classy brilliant and space savvy.
When space is limited, everything has to have more than one purpose. Save space with hidden storage beneath the seats. or a pull out pantry on that small space between the fridge and the wall.
In a tight floor plan, it is tempting to pick everything small scale but this only emphasizes tiny proportions of the room. Big furniture makes a small room seem grander. You could also choose tailored furniture that can accommodate many people but doesn't waste space with details.
While many are hesitant to use a darker paint for fear of making a room look "closed in," the right color can make a room cozy, not claustrophobic.
With all these aesthetic tips to consider, you may get too excited when renovating your apartment. Consider creating a plan and getting the help of a builder. It is expected that you are also living aside from renovating this space to be your own for quite sometime, so a well planed renovation and a well picked and thought about builder can still make your small space a desired home.
When choosing a builder or a joiner, pay attention to quality and try not to base your decision on quote price alone or it may end up more expensive in the end.
Remain vigilant with your builder. When problems or concerns arise, deal with them quickly.
Try and visit the site every day. Builders are there early so drop in before work. You are bound to discover something not going to your plan or expectation, and a simple daily catch up can mean you address it upfront, rather than when its too late
Do your homework. Spend your money wisely, get a list of needed fixtures such as lighting and bathroom accessories or even your kitchen taps and towel rails . Do your own searching. If you don't have time to search on flea markets or vintage shops because of your busy schedule, try online shops like renovatorstore.com.au . You'd be surprised that most PC(Prime Cost) items may actually be at a fraction of it's costs, compared to stores nearby - and you get to save both on time and effort of going from shop to shop.
Knowing key items that are worth the space is key to making the most out of your first space that looks and feels like home.

The court will rule on whether six men, including Abu Hamza, should be extradited on terrorism charges to the US.
John Bolton, the American ambassador to the UN under George Bush, said: "Britain should renounce the jurisdiction of this court. It's a question of what do British people want to do? Do you want to be an independent nation, or do you want to be a county in Europe?
"This is just another example of Britain's mistake in allowing European institutions to develop to the extent they have. It is yet another infringement on British sovereignty that undercuts its ability to cooperate with the United States.
"It also calls into question the ability of Europe as a whole to be an effective partner in the war against terrorism."
Estimates obtained by The Daily Telegraph suggest that it has cost the taxpayer £2.6 million to keep the six men in high-security jails. A further £1.5 million is estimated to have been spent on legal costs, including legal aid for the men, and thousands more on benefit claims for their families.
The men have been fighting extradition on human rights grounds for up to 14 years.
Hamza is wanted in the US on 11 charges related to taking 16 hostages in Yemen in 1998, promoting violent jihad in Afghanistan in 2001 and nationals wanted in the US – Haroon Rashid Aswat, Babar Ahmad and Seyla Talha Ahsan – are also fighting extradition, alongside Egyptian-born Adel Abdel Bary and Khaled al-Fawwaz, from Saudi Arabia.
Al-Fawwaz, allegedly a close associate of Osama bin Laden, and Bary are both wanted in connection with the 1998 embassy bombings in East Africa which killed 223 people.
All six have been indicted on charges of alleged terrorism in the US and argue that the conditions of their detention in a "supermax" prison would amount to inhuman and degrading treatment under Article 3 of the Human Rights code.
The regime, originally designed to remove troublesome prisoners from the main prison population, involves life in solitary confinement in a cell measuring 11ft 5ins by 6ft 6ins for 23 hours a day. Prisoners are fed through the door and allowed out for only one hour a day to exercise alone in a concrete pen.
Hamza, who would not be incarcerated in one of the prisons because of his disability, says that a sentence of life without parole would amount to a breach of his human rights.
Last night Conservative MPs urged the Government had to replace European human rights laws with a British Bill of Rights.
Dover MP Charlie Elphicke said: "This is a crazy waste of money, and shows once again why we need a British Bill of Rights. People will find it incomprehensible."
Nick de Bois MP, a member of the Commons justice committee, added: "We have a very distorted system that allows taxpayers to pay an obscene amount of money as a result of the discredited European justice system exploited by these suspect terrorists."
Mark Pritchard MP, said Hamza's original student visa must be "the most costly ever granted", adding: "If he had been asked to return to Egypt after his studies in Brighton in the 1980s, the British taxpayer would not now be footing this huge bill."
Keith Vaz MP, the Labour chairman of the Commons' Home affairs select committee, said it was a "cause for concern" that it was taking so long to extradite people Britons to face charges, compared with France.
He said: "The contrast between what President Sarkozy has been doing – using his powers to deport people – where we take a long time is a cause for concern.
"We need to look at primary legislation. We need to examine what is happening in other countries. We are the only country that can remove people slowly."
Charles Stimson, Deputy Assistant Defence Secretary for Detainee Affairs under George W. Bush, added: "We have a special relationship and it needs to continue. But I'm hopeful that the momentum is toward bringing them here.
"This is a special case and Abu Hamza is clearly dangerous and we have legitimate law-enforcement interests in bringing him here to face federal courts."
Richard Perle, another former Bush administration official, said: "I sincerely hope the court does not make this judgment, as I am sure it would then be invoked in every other case. But if it forced to choose, then the UK should certainly ignore it. I don't know of any mechanism by which the court could enforce it."
He added: "The relationship between the US and UK is large enough to survive this, but it would do real damage."
Ali Soufan, one of the FBI officers who conducted the investigation into Fawwaz in London with Scotland Yard, said: "This is a serious guy who was with bin Laden from the beginning. The office he set up in London was more than a PR machine, everyone in the media who wanted to speak to bin Laden had to go through him and his arrest unraveled a whole network.
"All the British courts right up to the House of Lords have heard the prima facie evidence against him and decided he should be extradited.
"We judged that he was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people in the East African bombings. It will be a sad say for all of them if he does not face his day in court."

Kim Kardashian Starring In Kanye West's Sexy New 'Bound 2' Video — Report
New mom Kim is reportedly the star of fiance Kanye's new music video for 'Bound 2,' which will be released on Nov. 19 on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show.' We couldn't be more excited to see what the 'Yeezus' rapper and his bride-to-be have in store for us!
Kanye West, 36, is bringing sexy back with the highly anticipated new video for his latest single, "Bound 2," which reportedly stars the love of his life, Kim Kardashian, 33. Kim "looks beyond gorgeous" in the video, which is anything but "pop or urban," sources reveal. Sounds like we're in for a real surprise! Read on for all the details.
Kim Kardashian In Kanye West's 'Bound 2' Music Video? — Report
[hl_youtube src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYccM34voJ0&list=PLDovhwKa3P88a7BPDdM25zK-LsA6cKYCp&index=1″ link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYccM34voJ0&list=PLDovhwKa3P88a7BPDdM25zK-LsA6cKYCp&index=1″ text="Kim Naked In Kanye 'Bound 2' Video"]
Kanye chose Kim to star in his new video, sources tell US Weekly, and it sounds like it was the perfect pick!
"It's really sexy, " an insider tells the mag. "Kim looks beyond gorgeous. It's very artsy, very beautiful. The imagery is very colorful and light. Nothing about it feels pop or urban. She looks incredible."
This isn't the first time Kanye has featured Kim in one of his music videos. In 2012, she made a brief appearance in his "Theraflu" video, which dissed her ex-husband, Kris Humphries, 28.
Kanye's label announced in a press release that the video is set to debut on The Ellen Degeneres Show on Nov. 19, but no further details about the music video were mentioned, so we'll just have to anxiously wait and see what happens!
On Nov. 18, Ellen DeGeneres took to her website to tease fans about Kanye's "Bound 2" video, stating that it "may or may not feature his stunning and curvalicious fiancee."
Oh, the suspense! There's no doubt that Kanye has something up his sleeve, as always. Being the creative, free-spirited artist that he is, we're certain his new video will be the talk of the town for days after it's release!
Kanye West & Kim Kardashian Slammed on 'SNL'
Saturday Night Live humorously took shots at Kim and Kanye on Nov. 16 with a skit dedicated to the couple. SNL comedian Jay Pharaoh and actress Nasim Pedrad did an amazingly impersonation of Kimye, focusing on how the rapper has "changed" the reality TV star's appearance and sense of style.
Ouch! While some may have thought the mockery went a bit too far, we're sure it was all in good fun! Everyone is fair game for getting "dissed" on the infamous show, anyway. Cheer up, Kimye!
So, HollywoodLifers, would YOU like to see Kim in Kanye's new music video? Sound off below!

You join me today on my sofa, in comfy clothes, with a nice mug of tea by my side. For the first time in a long time, I am relaxed... and I'm about to tell you why.
I suppose three things happened to take the edge off. Lately, I haven't been getting much sleep, and on Wednesday night I didn't go to sleep at all—I sound like I'm exaggerating, but I was literally still awake when it was time to go to school. I ended up taking the day off and tried to relax, but I couldn't manage it. I did, however, sleep well on Thursday night and had a reasonable day on Friday. Basically, it became apparent to me, as well as my parents and friends, that it was about time I learned to... how to put this eloquently... chill the beans.
1) This was pretty simple. Normally I have all my Christmas presents bought by now, but this year something must have gone terribly wrong and the other day I hadn't even decided on, let alone bought/made, any presents. I had ideas for a few people, but when it came to Wolf and Phoenix, I was stuck! I hadn't a clue. Anyway, yesterday I had a little help deciding what to give them, came up with ideas I'm really excited over, and bought what I would need. I just feel like it's a huge load off my mind, and I can finally look forward to Christmas rather than fretting over it. All things being equal, I'll post about their presents after the Big Day!
2) The second thing was something I'd forgotten I was able to do. I made a decision! I recall a few years ago, as I've mentioned before, making the decision to not be bullied, making the decision to be happy. And it worked! If you make a choice and believe in it enough, it can come true just like a wish. So I decided to relax and not let everything get to me. And somehow, once I'd made that decision, it was easier. It's just like picking a door to walk through. The choosing part is agonising, but once you do, no matter which door you've chosen, the house you enter will feel safe.
|Picture by Erin, aged 15.
3) The third thing that relaxed me was called the "Frozen Picnic." Intrigued? So was I...
Crow and I had something to celebrate this week and it was decided (by SOMEONE) that we'd have a picnic in a local park. So. As you probably know by now, we live in Ireland. As you definitely know by now, it's December. Most picnics take place in, oh I don't know, the summer... but I'm nothing if not adaptable...
I arrived at the park slightly before Crow and sat down with my part of the picnic on a bench. I hadn't been looking forward to sitting out in the cold, but I was shocked at how cosy I felt in my big coat and jumper, and how lovely it was to be there. There were only a handful of people around: some brave soul with two kids on the swings, a woman equally bravely jogging, and someone with two adorable dogs.
|The one thing I love about my current phone is the panoramic camera! Look how deliciously empty the park is...
It was just those people and me alone with my thoughts. I didn't have many thoughts at that moment: in fact, I'd just bumped into Bambi on the way so I was just thinking how lovely it had been to see her. I concentrated on breathing the fresh, clean air in and out, filling my lungs to the top and emptying them completely, and looking around at how empty the world was. It was the most peaceful I'd felt in weeks.
Then Crow showed up and ruined it.
He's a very restful sort of person, and I always feel relaxed after spending the day with him. I think we all need a friend like that: someone we can totally relax around, and when things are going wrong the only thing they say is "Hey, don't worry about it, listen to my impression of a grumpy Irish teenager..." and suddenly you can't remember what you were so worried about in the first place.
I do have more than one friend like that, when I give them the chance. Wolf always knows how to make me laugh: it's nice to be sitting in maths, not having a clue what's going on, and to look around and see her with this expression, too:
Then I have Phoenix who can always tell without me saying anything that I'm about to go mental, and often manages to stop it happening! I've got Bambi to spoil me rotten and tell me I'm wonderful, too. And then there are my parents with their little snippets of advice like "There simply must have been one nice thing that happened today. Tell me about that."
It got me thinking that we should not only surround ourselves by these understanding, relaxing people, but we should also try to be that person. Of course we should talk to people about our lives, but we should also be able to take some time out, spend time with someone and say "Hey, here's my impression of..." (I don't know. Personally, I do a mean elephant). It might just give our friends the boost they need.
Anyway, it was the best Saturday I've spent in a long time, and at the moment I'm ever so unwound and ever so grateful for my wonderful life.
(Wait till the next time I step in a puddle, though...)
PS. Have begun listening to Jack Johnson while doing maths homework, which is also rather relaxing. However, by the time I was doing an essay on Stalin, Lady Gaga had come on... that was pretty hilarious.

An embedded system is an electronic system that runs a program using a processing device like microcontroller or microprocessor. Nowadays many students are showing lot of interest in towards embedded systems projects in their final year. So, this section brings you interesting and latest projects based on ATMEL & PIC series micro-controllers. The 8051 projects serve as a good reference for final year electronics engineering projects. Each one comes with dedicated board with some Vero space for you to easily learn the 8051 /PIC hardware interface and develop project work quickly. Such boards come with hex program loaded controllers on ATMEL AT89S52 or PIC-16F 877 along with duly commented source code.
Edgefx provides various embedded projects for engineering students which are shown below:
SCADA - (SUPERVISORY CONTROL & DATA ACQUISITION) FOR REMOTE INDUSTRIAL PLANT - Modern Industries prefer SCADA. Supervisor sitting on the PC terminal is able to control plant parameters remotely over communication network while monitoring the data acquired through several sensors using a front end for the control and a backend with programmed microcontrollers interfaced to ADCs from sensors for data collection and control.
SYNCHRONIZED TRAFFIC SIGNALS - Getting green signal all through successive street junctions. All the traffic junctions in a main road are synchronized for signal lighting such that the vehicle gets green signal at all the junctions while moving at a normal speed. This is already implemented in many countries with great degree of success.
HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM: A touch screen based transmitting unit is used to operate home appliances with zero voltage switching for long life, remotely using RF communication to avoid complicated wiring in existing system and to improve life of the appliance under use.
DISTANCE MEASUREMENT: A DC voltage is fed over the faulty line in multiplexing mode for all the wire in a cable in combination with controller interfaced ADC 0804 being fed from a series resistor to detect the fault current caused voltage drop and show the distance on a LCD display based on known voltage drop of a fixed length of wire.

Provide shooting facilities
It's ironic that the article, "Target shooting worries residents," is right next to an article about a trap range that was closed due to the encroachment of residential development. I'm sure the folks who are complaining in Crooked River Ranch don't want the shooters to move elsewhere, but to get rid of their firearms and take up planting trees in the forest and communing with nature. I've met these people.
There doesn't seem to be a cry to stop the plans to shut down ranges, such as Redmond Gun Club, which give shooters a place to participate in several different shooting disciplines; shotgun, rifle, handgun and archery. These displaced members have no choice but to go out to the forest and other public lands to pursue their sport.
You never hear anyone suggest that "a range" should be developed, so that everyone can share the forest and other public lands together with a reasonable amount of safety and harmony for all. Shooters don't mind sharing public lands with others, but the same courtesy doesn't seem to exist.
Shooters have the right to pursue their sport on public lands, just like anyone else who enjoys such places. One answer to the problem would be to stop closing existing shooting facilities and to encourage development of new shooting facilities in areas that don't have them.

Publish the number of suicides
I enjoyed John Costa's musing on Dec. 22, about Alysha Colvin's sad and tragic suicide. An old friend of mine who is the chaplain for the Sheriff's Office told me that suicides in the county are very common. And yet this fact is kept from the public. While the public is deliberately educated about annual homeless counts, we are deliberately kept in the dark about annual suicide numbers. Why? Is it because the powers that be don't want the public to know how sick and despairing our community is? I suspect this is the reason.
I believe they don't want us asking the probing questions such as: Why are families collapsing in America? Why is depression at an epidemic level? Why are kids estranged from their parents in record numbers and husbands from wives? Because if we ask these questions, maybe we'll discover that all is not well. Maybe we'll discover that it takes more than a village to raise a child. It takes a strong family. And it takes the fear and love of God. So, I call on The Bulletin to begin publishing the number of suicides each year. Maybe this is a problem our society can and should examine and address.

Chudowsky doesn't understand amendment
I observed, with some concern, the description that Bend City Councilor Victor Chudowsky recently provided to The Bulletin of the Citizen's United court decision and Move to Amend. His point of view represents a clear misunderstanding.
The constitutional amendment that Bend City Council has been asked to support in essence says that corporations are not people, and money is not speech. Chudowsky's statement that "the United States needs to protect all types of free speech" clearly misses the point.
The amendment would leave in place full protection for all types of speech. What would change, rather, is the volume of speech. Corporate and other special interest speech, driven since the Citizens United decision by billions and billions of dollars of untraceable "black money," would once again be regulated and restricted.
The big money voices, which are far too loud, now drown out the voices of real people like you and me. The unregulated flow of money into our political processes profoundly corrupts the system of government. Move to Amend would level the playing field, finally. We must return to governance that is "of the people, by the people and for the people." Be proud that the state of Oregon had the wisdom to pass a resolution in favor of Move to Amend this past July, the 16th state to do so.

Things don't always happen as planned (HA! surprise! NOT). Though I usually book our anniversary trips to actually coincide with our anniversary date – in fact, I often go to great lengths to see that the very day we're somewhere truly remarkable or special –, this can't always be the case. There was this one time were I had just begun work in Beijing and we had to celebrate our anniversary after it had happened, with a hurried (though very fun) trip to Shanghai. A couple other times we were a bit tight finance-wise and kept celebrations to our place of residence (that happened once in Beirut, once in Toronto).
This time, work didn't permit travel during our anniversary, so I'm appealing to my made-up rule of treating our anniversaries like some religious feasts or like the Chinese Spring festival: as movable event, not falling on the same date each year. So, this year our anniversary just so happens to fall on a later date than usual, and that's when we'll be travelling. Have I made myself clear? ;-)
But being who I am, I couldn't help having tiny celebrations the night before and the day our anniversary would have fallen were it not for its hereby officially-declared movable nature. So one night we went to our favourite local mezcalería for some beer and mezcals and some toasts to this long adventure together. Followed by the only thing around at that late hour remotely resembling a cake – a donut! Sad? I guess, for some outsiders. For me? Unconventionally fun!
The non-day of our anniversary (gotta find a way to call the date it should have fallen on but didn't because this year it falls on a different date... hmmm) I convinced the habibi to make a special shake for me for breakfast. I love this man's shakes, honestly, and with an added shot of espresso they're just what you need to start the day in the best of moods!
And when I came back for lunch? He had made my favourite: gnocchi in a tomato and mushroom sauce! Delish! Accompanied by a fantastic Ontario wine our buds from Canada brought on their last visit. And followed by a simple dessert: red berry sherbet with whole almonds and coconut milk!
For me, these two counted as two separate and perfect mini-celebrations. Yeah, when it comes to that, I can be very simple. Like, very.
Since I was in too good a mood, I decided to get 14 donuts (all different kinds) to share at work. Sort of like sharing the happiness. No, I'm not donut obsessed, but the neighbourhood I work in is not known for having that many fancy options. So donuts work well - colourful, varied, and who can say no to one? I had to keep one for myself, though, as the habibi last minute decided we could use one for a later toast at home. So I guess I only shared 13? Anyhow, who's counting?
Lastly, a small ritual. The donut (a weird one nobody chose at work, with blue and silver pearls and which I myself though was very appropriate for the occasion). Champagne (our friends in Beirut always opened a bottle of champagne at special occasions, and this became our way both of celebrating and of commemorating our life in Lebanon). And glasses made with a special Chinese technique (a special memory from our life in China). And after drinking up most of the champagne and eating the donut, we then had some good, adult fun (yep, I'm still keeping a slightly prudish attitude towards writing about my own sex life, despite not having any problems writing about fetish parties, circuit parties, porn festivals, in-your-face trans* performances, etc. etc.).
I was happy. It was simple. And it served as a nice prelude to what will be the real anniversary celebration. Which is why I'm leaving all the writing about what it actually means to celebrate 14 years together. Its ups and downs. The adventures, both good and bad. Right now, it's all about food, toasts, and feeling good. And getting excited about what's ahead.

The Windows 8.1 public preview came out two weeks ago. When can we expect the final release? Microsoft still hasn't set an exact date, but at its Worldwide Partner Conference yesterday, Microsoft's Tami Reller quoted a rough timetable for the OS update's arrival.
According to Reller, the release-to-manufacturing build of Windows 8.1 "will be available for OEM partners in late August." Those partners will be able to get Windows 8.1 devices ready "just in time for the holidays," she says.
Since Windows 8.1 is supposed to be a free upgrade for Windows 8 users, it's possible that the RTM build will be released to the public right away—that is, when it becomes available to OEMs in late August. Then again, it's equally possible that Microsoft will wait until just before the holidays, as it did with Windows 8.
The last public preview of Windows 8 came out on May 28, 2012. The RTM build followed on August 1, but the operating system wasn't officially released until October 26, 2012. The first Windows 8-powered PCs and tablets landed in stores on that date, as well.

West Ham vs. Tottenham: Premier League Live Score, Highlights, RecapFebruary 24, 2013
Monday 25th February. Kickoff: 3 p.m. ET. Upton Park - London, England
Final Score: West Ham (Carroll Pen 25', J. Cole 58') 2-3 Spurs (Bale 13' & 90', Sigurdsson 77')
Gareth Bale bagged a stunning brace to drag Spurs to a 3-2 victory over West Ham, including a 90th minute pile-driver to break Hammers hearts. This was one of the great London derbies.
All the talk was about Bale in the build-up to the game. He showed exactly why in the thirteenth minute. The Welshman turned on the edge of the box, leaving a couple of West Ham defenders in his wake before firing across Jussi Jaaskelainen and into the bottom corner. Spurs and Bale were up and running.
But the lead didn't last long as West Ham came roaring back. Parker felled Andy Carroll in the penalty area and the big geordie striker converted from the spot.
Both teams had chances towards the end of the first half in what was an all-action encounter. But neither snuck ahead before half time.
That pattern continued throughout the second half.
West Ham took the initiative just before the hour mark. Joe Cole sprung the offside trap and brought a long ball down superbly. His left foot shot squirmed past Hugo Lloris and into the bottom corner. A real classy goal from Cole.
The main turning point in the game came in the 76th minute as West Ham had a big chance to go 3-1 up. Matt Taylor was one-on-one with Hugo Lloris, but the French international 'keeper was quick off his line and smothered the shot.
Moments later, Spurs were back level. Bale again was involved, his free-kick causing havoc in the West Ham penalty area. The Hammers failed to clear their lines before Sigurdsson poked home at the back post.
Both teams pushed for a winner, with Jaaskelainen foiling Spurs again and again. The game looked to be heading towards a draw, but Bale wasn't finished yet.
After breaking forward, Bale picked the ball up 35 yards out and sized up a leggy West Ham defence. He shifted it onto his left-foot and arrowed an unbelievable dipping effort into the top corner. Jaaskelainen waved it on its way and the Spurs faithful behind the goal went absolutely crazy.
West Ham will feel hard done by having been in the game for long, long periods. If they continue to play like that, then they will have no problems staying up.
And for Spurs? Well, they have a very, very special player on their hands. What a boost for them ahead of Sunday's massive North London Derby.
Have any thoughts on the game? Let me know in the comments section or on Twitter: @MattJFootball

Chapter Seventeen: The Game Summary
In the morning, Jack confirms it is really Ellen who will be his opponent and it is almost a relief when it is time to go. He locks Will and Fitch in, promising to see them in a while. Jack talks to Linda and the others and then notices Nick. He embraces him, and tells him he agrees - it is much too noisy in England. Ellen arrives alone, and they both stand, listening to the rules. The contest begins. Every thirty minutes, they break for five, and Hastings coaches Jack. At times, he has the advantage, but allows her to regroup before continuing, and the crowd boos. Ellen wounds his right arm and it is all Jack can do to hold his sword. When he has trouble stopping her, he throws out a charm and she...

Joshua Creek Youth Program Featured in South Texas-The Newsletter
Mon, 08/30/2010
Since 1993, the Youth Outdoor Adventure Program at Joshua Creek Ranch has been teaching kids 8-15 shotgun shooting, rifle shooting, archery and fly-fishing. Additionally, participants thrill to water sports including tubing and kayaking the spring-fed Joshua Creek and secluded stretches of the Guadalupe River that border the ranch. Ten day sessions are scheduled June through mid-August.
The Texas Hill Country is home to many summer camp programs, but the Youth Outdoor Adventure Program (YOAP) at Joshua Creek Ranch offers a totally unique 10 Day curriculum aimed at raising youth awareness of the important role of sportsmen in wildlife and habitat conservation. Much focus is placed on safe, responsible and ethical conduct while handling shotguns, rifles, bows and arrows. The summer of 2012 marks the 19th year that Joshua Creek Ranch will instruct boys and girls 8-15 years old in shotgun shooting, fly fishing, archery, upland gamebird identification, tracks and traps, basic outdoor survival skills and Hunter Education Certification for Ages 9 +. The program includes demonstrations and seminars hosted by trappers, game wardens, wildlife biologists, taxidermists, and local sheriff's deputies. Participants thrill to water sports including tubing canoeing, and kayaking in the spring-fed Joshua Creek and secluded stretches of the Guadalupe River that border the ranch. 10 day sessions are scheduled June through mid-August. Youngsters are under the guidance of experienced sportsman who keep them as focused on safety as they are on fun. They learn the life enhancing skills of ethical hunting and fishing and the responsibility that goes with them, like good stewardship of the habitat and conservation of the wildlife. Participants are also given the opportunity to experience an optional Axis hunt for a doe or a buck, making it possible for them to take part in the management of the expanding Axis herds. For many, it will be the very first Axis buck or doe that the participant will harvest.
To ensure the safe handling of shotguns and rifles and safe conduct during water sports, the counselor to participant ratio is a 1-4 or 5. Several of the counselors are professional guides that conduct upland bird hunts during the hunting season.
This Texas Hill Country program is all about outdoor knowledge and skill building; safe, responsible, and ethical conduct; AND having fun in the outdoors. Reservations are well underway for the sessions to be held beginning in June. The youngster will experience skill building and confidence as well as fun, great memories and new friendships.
Joshua Creek Ranch, located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, is nestled on an isolated stretch of the pristine Guadalupe River - just 40 minutes Northwest of San Antonio International Airport. The ranch's diverse terrain including Texas prairie grasses, high bluffs that present a dramatic backdrop to crystal clear Joshua Creek, and magnificent, ancient oaks are perfect habitat for fly-fishing and the best quail hunting in Texas, with the added bonus of pheasant and partridge. Sports enthusiasts enjoy fly-fishing for trout and gunning on three different automatic, state-of-the art clay-shooting scenarios. There's trophy Axis Deer hunting year round and whitetail and turkey hunting in season. Gourmet dining and lodging with spectacular views top off the ultimate outdoor experience. Joshua Creek Ranch is celebrating 22 years as a superior hunting and wingshooting lodge and is the only Texas recipient of the prestigious Beretta Two Trident Designation for excellence in upland bird hunting.
