Apa the fuck!!!
Wow!!! In any other country the above would have been damning evidence on mis-management by the ruling government. In some countries the government would have resigned en masse in shame. In others, the Prime Ministers might have committed ritual suicide.
But in Malaysia.......Najib merely announces......
"Anyone who exposes cabinet papers will be subjected to police investigations and action under the Official Secrets Act will depend on the investigations."
And the Deputy Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar confirmed a probe has begun and also announces, "We are investigating to find out who is responsible for exposing
information on the cabinet paper," he said.
Find out who is responsible for exposing information on the cabinet paper???
Fuck that for a joke, YB.
I don't know about you but as a Malaysian I am more interested in who fucked up in the PKFZ RM12.5billion fiasco!!!

This is always the problem of our gomen. No transparency, abuse of power, Wrong agenda, victimised those who are truthful and seeking justice and equality...what is 1Malaysia when all our hard earn wealth is been swindle away secretly.
- 11:37 pm
Laws like the OSA make our country a joke. Time for a change.
- 12:15 am
even our Agong doesnt seem to care.
- 12:34 am
Why of course! They must find out who's trying to destroy their $$$ tree. Otherwise how can they afford to take $$ from us legally??!!!

We voted the govt, and the govt applies the Official Secrets Act on how the tax payer's (a.k.a the voters) money was spent.
For those who exposed this will be caught, instead of those who used the $$ incorrectly.
- 12:49 am
Sometimes I wonder those top officials need to have so many private and confidential things. Until now, not many know how much these people and the rulers earn a month. Why can't they make them transparent? I have read from somewhere that they have so many privileges and perks. They don't need to pay for tolls. They can claim for fuel. The rakyat needs to pay for many things even though they earn less than those people.
Now, the PM wants those who are trying to uncover the government's scandal to be investigated because of this PNC thing.
Malaysia is really hopeless with these people around.

He's miffed the Cabinet Papers have been leaked but not at the clear indication that the Cabinet is implicated in a massive cover up!!
So, what exactly is PM Najib's super duper PKFZ task force going to investigate? How effective is it going to be if the Cabinet is proven to be a party in the PKFZ fiasco?
We are all of 1 race, the Human Race
- 3:49 am
Now you know why they want to get rid of Ong TK! He was screwing up the handling of PKFZ, screwing up as in not knowing how to cover up properly! And all the former MCA heads are ganging up against him, with Chua the nude actor as the front! We always suspected the involvement of the umnoputras. Now the MT expose proves that they were directly involved!
- 4:10 am
God must have sent RPK to us to expose all the dirty going-ons of BN!
- 4:12 am
i find this para more humiliating - "we are not denying the people the right to information on PKFZ, but if there is anything we want to tell the people, we will announce it later."
... so, is it always like this - selective sharing while the busload of corruption is kept behind closed doors???
- 9:01 am
Daulat tuanku... Yang di pertuan agong of Malaysia...
Can tuanku do something about this? This is the quite serious problem leh!
Is that something more important you are doing right now?
Please tuanku... otherwise, Raayat will suffer much lah!
Hamba mohon ribuan maaf... Selamat hari raya idilfitri.

PKFZ fiasco will turn up to be a Waterloo for BN.
Trust me. Tne Malaysians are now better educated and has access to alternative media (Niamah inclusive) to see for themselves the cover-up from the BN government.
BN days are really numbered.
The bodohness of people like Krishamudin will accelerate the downfall.
- 10:27 am
Did you watch PM Najib delivering his Hari Raya message on TV1 (during the news segment)?
He looked tired and uncomfortable.
Sitting beside him was Rosmah, who did not make any eye contact to the camera throughout the speech.
Are they feeling guilty of something?
Or are they seeking forgiveness?
- 10:37 am
All BN fellows got a share in the 'profit' from the PKFZ.
That's why the massive cover-up job.
Thanks to the Sun journalist for uncovering the scandal.
By the way the 'F' is PKFZ means the rakyat all all 'F'ucked bigtime. But hte BN fellows (UMNO, MCA & MIC) shared the dirty money.

That idiot wants to catch that person leaking out government secret documents and not talk about the said documents that proved UMNO knew all along...PKFZ funds and approved everything.
He even said...government have no secrets with the people.
War plans and why buy submarines......all secret documents...understandable la.
Why so secretive on tenders...on how money are spend?
We have the right to know how our tax money spend out.
But when come to spending money......UMNO must make sure ...all documents are secretive....or else how to get huge commission?
Day in day out...UMNO is proven....most corrupted and low class liars.

In Malaysia the corrupt will not be investigated but the whistle blower will. Just like the Anwar's sododmy II. Saiful will not be procecuted but look what happened to DSAI. Way to go Malaysia!
- 11:57 am
Way to go Malaysia! The corrupt will go unpunished while the AG is now actively looking for the whistle blower. Saiful given police protection while DSAI face the court. You get what you asked for. Vote BN this is what you get. Give the opposition a chance in the next GE.

Kerajaan banyak hal sulit tak boleh kasi tahu rakyat.

Another jail the "Tan Hoon Cheng" story for leaking the news that Penang UMNO Datuk Ahmad Ismail, of pendatang infamy, insulted the Chinese, likened them to Jews, tore down a picture of a Chinese leader of a party in HIS own coalition and generally created all sorts of racial tensions. in the Sin Chew papers? Now PDRM is finding another Tan Hoon Cheng for leaking the secret BN Government paper and publishing that to the public.

who does the fxxking in rosemary house..rosie or jibby?

The guys who exposed watergate and president Nixon has to go in disgrace, here in Malaysia, this exposure should be enough for MACC to immediate launch an investigation all night long even if it is Hari Raya holidays as evidence can disappear during this holidays. People doing great service to Malaysians by exposing corrupt pratices are being investigated. Is this our PM's 1Malaysia, Perforance First and People first. What a shame..............

I don't understand why there must be a cover-up in this fiasco of the PKFZ.Those Ministers involved in this scandal should be exposed and skin-alive.To shield them is only to belie the way to champion the One Malaysia's concept.And to impose OSA to those who leak out the news is like intimidating Malaysians not to expose their skeletons in the cupboard to the public.
- 5:00 am
Mahathir started this. He disabled a performing democracy so that he and his coterie of crooks could burgle the national coffers. As far as is known, he continues to receive a cut each time you and I use the highways, being one of four trustees of the company that committed this highway robbery of the highest order.
All the balik kampungs these few days have added yet further millions into his pocket.
Only fools believe that in this day and age, they can continue to pull the wool over our collective eyes. There WILL be a reckoning!

Those jokers in PKMS lately "street fight" until blood and hospitalised knowing the one who walk the little corridor of power in the party got to dig freely into the pocket of the party fun just like their brothers in UMNO.

During this Raya holis I am thinking to myself where will Malaysia be in 10 yrs time? The govt is so crap and the alternative people to win the next election also formerly from the same clique? Will there be any group of people who can win the next govt and be honorable enough to serve the people and not dish out so much crap and be corrupt? ...so far I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel. ...it just a sad story for Malaysia - a wonderful country screwed by a few :(

Bravo to the one who expose this cabinet paper(on PKFZ project).This is a Scandal of national concern and the culprit must be brought to justice! See other country(like Taiwan) how they take action against their ex-president for corruption. Can Malaysia do that?
- 10:31 am
Maha Dei said, we are not asking them to commit HARAKIRI. We just want them all to take the responsibility and resign.
Now the CORRUPTERS want to arrest and charge the whistleblower.
Wonder why all nespapers are so silent on cabinet's knowledge of the whole issue and their cover up.
- 11:17 am
You all dont know anything but critise only.You see,The government is trying to protect us all by not exposing all these P&C papers bcos they know we rakyat are not intelligent enough to understand all these issues and can get confused.Our job is to work hard and pay our taxes promptly,so pls let the government to do their job for our good.

I love breakfast food. Ask any of my friends what my favorite food in the world is, and they'll tell you it's waffles! (Or sushi, I'll accept that as a correct answer too..)
Waffles are just so versatile! I like to substitute bread for waffles and make all sorts of sandwich-creations to start my morning with.
Here's the one I made today–it's a breakfast-type spin on a hotdog in a bun, and has under 300 calories:
I start off with Kashi's 7 grain waffles, Nutella, and an overripe banana (more flavor).
Then I cut the banana in half, and stick the waffle in the toaster. While the waffle is toasting, I eat one of the banana halves (I'm hungry in the mornings!)
Then I spread a tablespoon of Nutella onto the toasted waffle, while it's still hot so the spread gets all melty and gooey–and delicious!
Next, I place the remaining banana half in the center of the waffle. It usually fits perfectly, but it's obviously ok if it goes over the edges a bit.
And lastly, I fold the waffle in half around the banana, as shown. It kind of looks like a hotdog in a bun, doesn't it? And I eat it just like one!
Try it and enjoy!!
Calorie breakdown: 1 waffle – 75…1 tablespoon Nutella – 100…banana (half) – about 52. Total calories: 227

Wireless Solution Sweden AB Mexican OEM partner Hermes Music, S.A. de C.V. recently brightened the skyline in Villahermosa, Mexico at the Liverpool Flagship store using PR Lighting with W-DMX. Hermes supplied 22 W-DMX transmitters and 64 of PR Lighting's PR-8800 architectural fixtures to light the façade.
Mexico City-based architectural firm Inaki Echeverria constructed the façade from 20-metre long segments of precast concrete slabs joined together that rotate at 180° angles. To create a dynamic colour wash and highlight the architectural features, Lighting Designer Joseph Charles Vargas Rubenak used PR-8800 fixtures with built in W-DMX.
The PR-8800, which has been newly launched by PR lighting, features the design of the W-DMX signal transmission, a true outdoor IP67 waterproof rating, a fantastic RGB colour mixing system and the environment brightness automatic adjustment. Meanwhile, it has obtained an exterior design patent and is perfect for outdoor use.
The color-changing lighting on the Liverpool store after dark provides an interesting mixture of colours, reflections and shadows to create an ever-changing image.
Ricardo Segura de la Cruz of Hermes Music explained, "Because the W-DMX receiver is already built into the lights, it makes installation incredibly easy and saves a lot of time. And the stability of the DMX signal is unbeatable. We were using 22 transmitters in a commercial building with a lot of metal surrounding, sending DMX signal to 64 fixtures with an average distance between transmitter and fixture about 10 to 15 meters. Everything is running perfectly and the overall effect is stunning."
Niclas Arvidsson, CEO of Wireless Solution says, "This is a good example of why we devote R & D to our OEM product and why our OEM partner list continues to grow. It's a very simple solution when your lights already have the receiver built in. It saves time, money and manpower. We were very happy to work with both PR Lighting and Hermes on this project."
Wireless Solution Sweden is the world's leading manufacturer of Wireless lighting control equipment, now celebrating 100,000 units sold worldwide and over 35 OEM partners. Hailed for its reliability and ease of use, Wireless Solution's W-DMX range of products is the consistent choice for top professionals in the lighting industry and specified with perfect results in high-profile events and installations around the world. W-DMX is also hailed as the best wireless OEM solution. W-DMX has been used for lighting major events including the Youth Olympics in Singapore; Season of Light in Helsinki; Olympics in Vancouver; Times Square in New York City; the Nobel Prize Banquet; the Berlin Wall 20-year Anniversary; Eurovision Song Contest; and many more.

For car and motorcycle enthusiasts a book can be a lasting and appreciated gift, but what book? These six reviews can help in sorting through publishers' recent offerings. Among them is a clever racing history meant for young children and adults; a compendium of stories, some very bizarre indeed, about cars and the people who collect them; an account of Mustang's first five decades; and a travelogue of a biker's around-the-world journey.
Hunt vs. Lauda
The Epic 1976 Formula 1 Season
By Paul Fearnley
59 color and 53 black-and-white photographs. 160 pages. David Bull Publishing. $39.95.
This book appears to have been published to coincide with Ron Howard's movie "Rush," which dramatizes the battle for the 1976 Formula One drivers championship between James Hunt of England and Niki Lauda of Austria. And "rush" is what comes to mind when I think about the effort behind this book.
The author needs quotation marks, it seems, only when mentioning various characters' nicknames. It's understandable that there are no direct statements from Hunt, who died in 1993 at 45, and perhaps even from Lauda, who may not have wanted to dredge up memories of a season that almost killed him. There are news clippings to quote from, though.
And living witnesses. But none of the other people involved in that season (which saw Hunt win the title in the final race when Lauda refused to risk his life again on a very wet racetrack) are asked to provide their insights.
Instead, we have Mr. Fearnley telling us what was going on in the minds of Hunt and Lauda, and we are asked to believe. Even the most rudimentary extras, like race-by-race results, are missing. And this book could have also used a glossary to translate Britishisms like "couldn't test for toffee" and "a wizard wheeze."Continue reading the main story
The writing also suffers from a trait that frequently infests reporting on Formula One racing in the days when Il Commendatore, Enzo himself, was still running Ferrari: namely, all the various intrigues on the Italian team are described in darkly ominous terms befitting a "Godfather" novel.
There are plenty of photos, color and black-and-white, to please students of racing history, with extensive captions. But if you've seen the movie and now want to read the book, don't be in such a ... well, you know. JOSEPH SIANO
Mustang Fifty Years
Celebrating America's Only True Pony Car
By Donald Farr. Foreword by Edsel B. Ford II.
200 color and 200 black-and-white images. 256 pages. Motorbooks. $50.
"Mustang Fifty Years" is a voluminous book that tracks the life of a Ford that's as famous as the Model T. While the book is presented as an Official Licensed Product, a spokesman for Ford said the automaker had no editorial control.
Donald Farr, a longtime writer and editor at Mustang-centric publications, provides a comprehensive recounting of the car's gestation as a design study in the early 1960s, its splashy debut at the 1964 New York World's Fair and its tumultuous life up through the fifth-generation model that is entering its final model year. The book concludes with sections on Mustangs for racing, in pop culture and for hobbyists and collectors.
The book takes a straightforward, generally noncritical approach in presenting each significant Mustang. If there are faults in any of the models, features or production decisions, they are usually presented in retrospect, with a recounting of how the new version addressed the shortcomings of the old. Even some universally scorned models, like the Mustang II of 1974-78, are presented with a faithful recitation of the company's list of its supposed virtues.
While not exactly a beach read, the book is more digestible, even for general audiences, than its dauntingly encyclopedic appearance might suggest. The captions for the many interesting photos are even more compelling. JERRY GARRETT
The Real Way Round
By Jonathan Yates
692 color photographs and maps. 224 pages. Veloce Publishing. $59.95.
Libraries are full of reflective, overthought travelogues. If you prefer yours presented with all the cheer of a tall tale told in a pub and put together with the artistic élan of a family Christmas newsletter, you will strike gold with "The Real Way Round."
No analysis here ("Kyrgyzstan is like the UK's Lake District on steroids!"), but as we follow Mr. Yates's journey around the world on his Yamaha Ténéré XT660 motorcycle, it's hard not to be infected by his enthusiasm for the people and environments he encounters.
As his journey progresses — across Europe, through Asia to Beijing, south to Australia, up through South and Central America (with a side trip to Antarctica) and eventually through the United States to Canada — we're treated to more reflection and noticeably better photography as Mr. Yates matures as a traveler.
Covering every continent but Africa, Mr. Yates's running commentary is sprinkled with helpful and up-to-date advice for anyone hoping to replicate his trip. The preface of his book is a useful to-do list, including suggestions on banking while traveling, customs documentation, visas and downloading the bike's full manual.
Mr. Yates's best gift to the reader is how easy he makes it all sound — just take a sabbatical, rent out your house, do some paperwork and hit the road. For us repressed bikers among the world's deskbound multitudes, it's a hard argument to resist.
Tommy Saal's ABC of Auto Racing History
For Little Boys & Girls and for Big Boys & Girls
89 color and 26 black-and-white illustrations. 80 pages. Racemaker Press. $25.
Bonneville became a favorite word in our household almost immediately after my 3-year-old daughter, Emerson, and I started reading "Tommy Saal's ABC of Auto Racing History" together. The smart premise is that it is two books in one, with one version for adults and one for children.
The side "for little boys & girls" provides elementary instruction on the alphabet, with each illustrated page and letter devoted to a part of auto racing history, with simple rhyming text: E is for Eagle, the brand of racecar created by Dan Gurney; I is for Indianapolis, as in 500; S is for Sebring, the Florida home of the 12-hour endurance race. And yes, B is for Bonneville, the vast dry lake bed in Utah that is used for land-speed trials.
For the children's side of the book, Mr. Saal drew the cartoons himself, and these were digitally colored by Claire Kereky. But it wasn't his cartoon rendition of Tom Burkland's fire-engine red, Chrysler-powered Datsun coupe that captured my daughter's imagination. It was the photo of his 415.896-mile-per-hour streamliner that appears on the flip side of the book ("for big boys & girls").
On this side, each letter stands for the same piece of racing history — B is still for Bonneville and S for Sebring — but here Mr. Saal packs every entry with so much information that even avid race fans are bound to learn something new.
Strange but True Tales of Car Collecting
Drowned Bugattis, Buried Belvederes, Felonious Ferraris, and Other Wild Stories of Automotive Misadventure
By Keith Martin, Linda Clark and Editors of Sports Car Market
20 color and 20 black-and-white photographs. 256 pages. Motorbooks. $28.
This likable book serves as a "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" for car obsessives, minus the nifty cartoons.
Drowned Bugattis lurk here, along with Ferraris in flames and Steve McQueen's $70,000 sunglasses. There are also pulse-quickening incantations like a Duesenberg Model X and Shelby 427 Cobra Super Snake, and even a few celebs — Bill Cosby, Jay Leno, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (and his 93 Rolls-Royces).
These 36 sturdy stories are garaged in three sections: Fame & Fortune, Wrecks & Ruins and Stranger Than Fiction. They're mostly offbeat sagas of cars that were lost, hidden or forgotten — barn finds, lake finds, field finds and the like.
My favorite is "Pikeville Purgatory," a tale straight out of the Twilight Auto Zone in which a Pikeville, N.C., dealership, suddenly shut down in the 1970s, became an accidental car-crammed time capsule. Here's what happened: "I was a Rambler and American Motors dealership since the 1950s," said the owner, Robert Collier. "But when American Motors was purchased by the French, I just closed down. I wasn't going to sell none of them Renaults."
There are also some freakish wheels here: the Moxie Horsemobile, used to flog an old-time soda; two Cadillacs built "one piece at a time," as in Johnny Cash's hit song of that name; and the 1940 Pontiac ghost car, a transparent show ride whose innards were exposed for all to see.
In keeping with the book's title, there's also the account of Sandra West, a Texas oil and cattle heiress who, in 1977, was buried in her blue Ferrari 330 America ... believe it or not. DANA JENNINGS
Art of the Classic Car
By Peter Bodensteiner. Photography by Peter Harholdt.
206 color photographs. 224 pages. Motorbooks. $50.
Coffee-table books with pictures of classic automobiles are something of a holiday gift staple. If you don't know what to get Johnny (... or Aunt Mary ...), there's always a new one around, and it's hard to go wrong — certainly better than a pair of socks. But if you are an author or photographer, then you know you are moving into shark-infested waters when you undertake a project like this.
The coffee-table genre, automotive edition, includes some remarkable examples by the acknowledged masters of the craft like Julius Weitmann, or Rainer W. Schlegelmilch, or John Lamm. And as additional competition there is the current occupier of the ladder's top rung, Michael Furman.
"Art of the Classic Car," unfortunately, doesn't belong in this company. The photos vary greatly in view and execution, and whether you blame the printer or the photographer is immaterial. The text blocks are particularly spotty, filled with grammatical and typographical errors and misspellings. For example: GordAn Buehrig; or Baroness von Krieger, later von KrEIger; or cOrrozzeria instead of carrozzeria. Even the photographer's name is misspelled as HarDoldt in large type on the title page.
And finally there is the inclusion of the Mormon Meteor, the Ab Jenkins record-holder, as a classic car. It is certainly historically important, but just as surely it's not a classic shape by any measure. LEO LEVINEContinue reading the main story

The Norwegian Majesty Cruise Ship is soon set to be renamed as the Louise Majesty. Its itineraries are primarily Caribbean regions. Seven-day cruises to Bermuda are also offered with the Norwegian Majesty Cruise Ship. After being sold to the Louise Cruise Lines in April 2008, Norwegian Majesty was chartered to its previous owner, the Norwegian Cruise Line, through the fall of 2009. The ship had its last voyage for NCL on October 24, 2009 and will soon make history once again as it returns to the seas with a brand new name, several much-anticipated enhancements and new features.
The ship can accommodate approximately 1,400 passengers in its 9 decks available for passenger access. There is the addition of a 112-ft midsection that houses new restaurants, staterooms, a pool, whirlpools and a coffee bar. Nonetheless, the ship still sticks to what it is best remembered for – intimate, cozy and relaxing spaces.
In December, once it returns to voyaging (as Louis Majesty) in the Bahamas, Caribbean and Bermuda, the Norwegian Majesty will introduce two new restaurants which will surely spice up any passenger's stay onboard the ship. Nonetheless, the ship's other restaurants remain classics. The existing dining establishments of the Norwegian Majesty Cruise Ship are as follows:
- Le Bistro
- Cafe Royale
- Four Seasons
You can also enjoy the panoramic views while enjoying the dishes offered by the dining establishments.
Entertainment and Nightlife
Nightlife is assisted is brought to life with the Frame 52 Disco and the Royal Observatory, which is considered as the ship's top-deck spot. There are plenty of other bars and lounges which are peaceful, intimate and romantic settings like: Rendezvous Lounge, Polo Club Piano Bar and the House of Lords Lounge.
The accommodations are reported to be comfortable and relaxing. Its cabins have 10 different categories so there is surely a place fit for every guest. Cabins and staterooms are also equipped with showers, hairdryers, thermostat, televisions and radios to make every passenger feel at home.
The numerous recreational amenities provided in the Norwegian Majesty Cruise Ship include the following:
- Poolside relaxing
- Several whirlpools offering relaxation
- Fitness center
- Elegant spa and salon
- Shuffleboard courts
- Ping pong tables
- Golf driving net
Onboard Fees
For gratuities, the cost is $3.50 per day for the room steward, another $3.50 per day for the waiter, $2.50 per day for the bus boy and $.150 per day for the maitre'd. The fees total is $10.50 per passenger, per day.
Taking the Kids
Parents can enjoy cruising together with their children because there is a children's splash pool. The "Kid's Crew" program provides kids with age-appropriate activities.

Glacier access
The glaciers are a part of the powerful mother nature, they can be dangerous. Reasonable equipment and clothes should be a first priority before entering the glaciers. We strongly recommend that vistors contact local guides or tour operators for information before visiting the glaciers.
About 10% of Iceland is covered by glaciers that contain the equivalent of twenty years of rainfall for the entire country. The main characteristic of glaciers is that they move. As a glacier glides forward at a rapid pace, its surface cracks. This happens because the top layers of ice (about 20-30 meters deep) are brittle, resulting in many deep cavities and fissures. At lower depths the ice is more solid. Changes in the atmosphere affect the glaciers' expansion and movement. Iceland has many sub glacial volcanoes. The melting ice from an eruption can cause devastating floods. Approximately one third of Iceland's excess water, which is returned to the sea, is glacial water. The glaciers are generally accessible barring restrictions due to current conditions.
Langjökull is the countries second largest glacier. Its accessibility is as good as it gets, however no one should attempt driving up a´glacier on their own. Many agencies offer tours where they take you up the glacier in specially equipped vehicles with exsperienced glacier guides. You can choose from jeep excursions, glacier hiking and snowmobiling. Gígjökull is a sliding glacier which moves north from Eyjafjallajökull. After the eruption in 2010 there is not much left of the glacier and no organized trips. It can however be admired from a distance on the way to Þórsmörk. Sólheimajökull is a part of Mýrdalsjökull. It´s very accessible and reachable by normal car. Right at the glaciers edge there is a parking lot. Hiking tours are available year round. The glacier is reasonably easy to cross and suitable for most people over the age of ten. Svínafellsjökull is part of Skaftafell national park, which is also the departure point. Trips are available year round and should suit people aged eight and up. Fjallsárjökull is part of Vatnajökull. Trips are available and the departure point is at Skaftafell national park. The bus drives to Fjallsárlón and from there you hike up to the glacier. Jökulsárlón is right by the main ring road (highway one) and there you will also find a service center which is open year round. Boat tours on the lagoon are available from March to November. Fláajökull is one of the gliding glaciers which move south from Vatnajökull. It´s possible to walk up to Fláajökull from highway one. The Hike starts at Brunnhólsá and is about 6 km long. It is also possible to shorten the trip by driving up to Sandatún and walk from there. Heinabergsjökull is part of Vatnajökull. The Heinaberg area is located between Höfn in Hornafjörður and Skaftafell national park and is easily accessible by car. There is a parking lot by the glacier. Another part of Vatnajökull is Hofsfellsjökull and it is steadily decreasing in size. The depression left behind has filled with water and will, in time, turn into a lake. Hofsfellsjökull is close to Höfn and can be reached by four wheel drive jeeps.
A glacier trek can be an unforgettable adventure but one should be mindful of the precautions to be taken while traversing this unfamiliar terrain. No one should attempt venturing upon a glacier without being accompanied by an experienced glacier guide. Several firms in the area provide glacier tours, more detailed information may be found on the internet, at tourist information centers and hotels.
Jokulsarlon Glacier lagoon
The main lagoon measures about 7 square miles (20 km2) and until 1932 was covered in thick glacial ice. Then the glacier started to retreat, and nowadays more than 300 feet (100 m) of ice breaks away each year to reshape the lagoon and fill it with spectacular icebergs.
The lagoon is open to the sea and so contains a mixture of salt and freshwater, giving it a unique blue-green color. There are hundreds of seals here in the winter and the lagoon supports many species of fish including krill, herring, trout and, occasionally, salmon.
Hoffell glacier
Driving or hiking north from Hoffell along the sands of Hoffellssandur you will enjoy the spectacular scenery of mountain slopes carved out by earlier glaciers. Along the way, there is also a borehole, constructed to extract geothermal water. Finally, you reach the ice of the glacier-tongue, Hoffellsjökull, skirted by the numerous hiking trails of the Geitafell mountain.

Eyjafjallajokull Glacier
The Eyjafjallajökull glacier is a 1666 m high glacier-capped stratovolcano. It is one of the smaller glaciers of Iceland. It is situated to the north of Skógar and to the south and west of the bigger glacier Mýrdalsjökull. The icecap of the glacier covers a volcano (1666m in height) which has erupted relatively frequently since the Ice Age. The crater of the volcano has a diameter of 3-4 km and the glacier covers an area of about 100 km². In June 1994 an earthquake swarm lasting for nearly a month occurred below the active volcano Eyjafjallajökull in South Iceland. It is otherwise a relatively quiet volcano - although it is not listed as being inactive. Eyjafjallajökull erupted last in 1821-1823. The south end of the mountain was once part of the Atlantic coastline. As the sea has since retreated some 5 km, the former coastline has left behind sheer cliffs with a multitude of beautiful waterfalls, the best known of them being Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss. In strong winds, the water of some of the smaller falls can even be blown up the mountain. It is one of the three glaciers that surround the Thorsmörk area - the other 2 being Myrdalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull. Specialized tours are arranged on the glacier for both skiing, superjeep tour and hiking. One should never venture onto the glacier without guides and good knowlege of these kind of activities as this is a very dangerous area for unexperienced visitors.
Myrdalsjokull glacier
Mýrdalsjökull Glacier and Katla Volcano
Mýrdalsjökull is a glacier located in the south of Iceland. It is situated to the north of Vík í Mýrdal and to the east of the smaller glacier Eyjafjallajökull. Its peak reaches 1493 m in height and in 1980 it covered an area of 595 km². The view on a clear day is one of the prettiest in the world.
Guided snow scooter, snowmobile, Super Jeep, dog sledding and iceclimbing tours are offered on the Myrdalsjökull glacier. Travelers on the glacier have to be extremely careful about crevasses and inexperienced travelers should not go there alone. Weather conditions shift very rapidly and high winds and snowstorms can appear in a flash all year round.
The volcano Katla, in the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, has erupted on average every 40 - 60 years. Sixteen eruptions have been recorded since the settlement of Iceland, the last in 1918, but there have probably been more. Katla is one of the most famous volcanoes in the country, and its eruptions usually have very serious consequences. It can actually be regarded as one of the most powerful volcanoes in the world and probably the largest active volcano in the northern hemisphere.
During the eruption, the glacier above the volcanic vent melts and the melted water collects under the ice-cap until it makes its way out under the edge in a violent flood. These are called "Jokulhlaup". Huge amounts of ice, rocks, silt and sand carried along by the floodwater. Most of the Mýrdalssandur sand plain has been formed by deposits in past floods.
Katla has been showing signs of unrest recently and some geologists suspect that it might erupt in the near future, since it is way overdue to erupt.
Eruptions of Katla have taken place (since known and recognized human settlement): 1918, 1860, 1823, 1755-56, 1721, 1660-61, 1625, 1612, 1580, 1416, 1357, 1311, 1262, 1245, 1177, 950.

Quick Reference
Italian-born US physicist, who made the first 'atomic pile', discovered the weak interaction, and was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize for Physics for his work on nuclear reactions.
The son of a senior government official, Fermi was educated at the University of Pisa, where he gained his PhD in 1924. After spending some time in Germany he returned to Italy to take up an appointment at the University of Florence. While at Florence he made his first major contribution to physics by working out the statistics of those particles (later called fermions) that obey Pauli's exclusion principle.
In 1927 Fermi was appointed professor of physics at the University of Rome. Fermi, probably the greatest Italian physicist since Galileo, contributed to many areas of physics. He is best known, however, for his work on nuclear physics. Following Chadwick's discovery of the neutron in 1932, Fermi used it to probe the structure of the nucleus, discovering over forty new isotopes. He also discovered the increased activity of slow neutrons and was the first to use water, paraffin wax, etc., as moderators. By 1938 Fermi, an antifascist, became apprehensive of the safety of his Jewish wife. As this was the year in which he was awarded the Nobel Prize, he and his wife sailed directly from the Nobel ceremony in Stockholm to New York.
Fermi began his US career at Columbia University. With the outbreak of World War II, however, he moved to the University of Chicago where, working on the development of nuclear weapons, he built the world's first atomic reactor, or pile, as it was then called, in a transformed squash court at the University of Chicago. Fermi continued to work on the project and was present at Los Alamos when the first atom bomb was tested.
After the war Fermi remained at Chicago, working on new problems in nuclear physics. He was also advisor to the US government on a number of issues and served on the general advisory committee of the Atomic Energy Commission. In this capacity he spoke in defence of J. R. Oppenheimer against charges of disloyalty. He died of cancer.

DO I NEED A HEAVY MOISTURISER? MY SKIN IS DRYBecause a cream is heavy does not mean all the issues of dry skin will be solved. The solution is balance and combining water retaining ingredients with oils that increase the lipid (oil) content of skin without clogging pores. Pore clogging is the danger with a heavy oily cream.
WHEN DO I USE ANTI WRINKLE CREAM?Anti-Wrinkle Cream (AWC for short) is for AM and PM use in winter or in dry harsh conditions or PM in summer.
PACKAGING:Anti Wrinkle Cream with Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid is packaged in a 50ml cobalt blue airless pump for protection from light.
The price, like our A-C-E Vitamin C serum is the best you will find anywhere for such a quality Vitamin C cream. I hope you will recognize what we are presenting and introduce your skin to the MiSMo Vitamin C duo of A-C-E Serum and Anti Wrinkle Cream with Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid
The primary vitamin is VITAMIN C (comparable to 15-18% in other companies lingo) Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate or VCIP. Also included isVITAMIN A PALMITATE,VITAMIN E(tocopheryl acetate) and VITAMIN B5 (Panthenol)
Vitamin C is arguably the most difficult ingredient to work with successfully and effectively. Water soluble Vitamin C's notably L-Ascorbic acid is notorious for oxidising quickly and causing sensitivity and irritation to the skin.
VCIP is an oil form of Vitamin C, developed in Japan. We were one of the earliest companies in Australia to use VCIP in A-C-E Vitamin C Serum. A-C-E is a huge seller and a very effective serum. VCIP will not cause reaction with the most sensitive skins, quite the opposite, it is very calming. VCIP is also very potent. At the levels we use, VCIP is registered as a skin lightener in Korea and is under application in Japan.
For best results Vitamin C should be combined with Vitamins A and E. They work in synergy.
HYALURONIC ACID - we include many times more than is used in most high end moisturisers.
The inclusion of a large amount of Hyaluronic Acid in Anti-Wrinkle Cream will reduce Moisture or Water loss in the skin. HA also plumps the skin by replenishing natural supplies in cells. Elasticity is also increased.
Vitamins are vital to skin health and in prevention and reversal of ageing skin effects. Vitamin C is well proven for increasing the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Vitamin C is a Tyrosinase inhibitor for preventing pigmentation. It lightens skin, protects from UV rays and improves the appearance of your complexion.
OLIVE SQUALANE is a high end light oil with almost the same profile as human sebum, it is extremely nourishing. We have used a French product to provide the lipids without heaviness.
COCO CAPRYLATE A special type of oil from coconut delivers a velvet feel in a naturally derived product. Brand new from Europe, this had to be flown in for us.
Read the reviewsAnonymousIrene, I am 'in love' with your new Anti-Wrinkle vitamin C cream - - I feel like my face has been touched by an angel overnight!!!AnonymousI just want to thank you so so much for your products and I am so glad that I discovered them.Hermione CahillI have been meaning to give you some feedback about the vitamin c cream - I love it! The texture is so beautifully rich and creamy yet it feels so light on the skin and rubs in easily.AnonymousI had one large BCC cancer burnt off my face and two even larger ones lazered off my back. I noticed that when I put the ANTI WRINKLE CREAM with Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid on my face for my daily treatment the BCC burn on my face was disappearing before my eyes; so I decided to use this on the ones on my back and it was amazing how quick they are healing. I don't know what other products you have for this but this certainly worked.
By the way the wrinkles are good too....what wrinkles only a few laughter lines now!!Connie MitchellI usually use La Mer but have found this to be just as good if not better and at a quarter of the price. It's very important that my skin looks good because if I look good then i have the confidence to be great! So that's a win win for me. I am officially in love with this cream BOOM!AnonymousMy skin soaks this up and it glows afterwardsSylvia McRaeVisible difference in deep lines after only a few applications!AnonymousI ordered the skin care trial pack from Mismo few weeks ago and after just ONE use, my skin was transformed from semi dry to fully hydrated baby butt smooth. I'm in my, just over mid 30's and even though I don't have any wrinkles (yet) - thanks to my Asian genes, I thought I'd give the ACE serum + anti wrinkle cream a go - after all, prevention is better than cure, right? The trial size ones I ordered arrived yesterday and used it last night before going to bed. This morning, I WOKE UP FLABBERGASTED!! You know those two lines you normally see on people's neck? It's not the kind of lines you get from an old age because I see them on young teens as well, but I've had these for as long as I can remember and have always wanted to know how to get rid of them; well, one of them totally disappeared! POOF! Just like MAGIC! If this is the kind of result I am getting after just ONE use, I am super excited for the future! Mismo, your product is top notch and customer service to match! From this day forward, I will never ever EVER buy anything for my skin from other companies EVER again! THANK YOU! Customer for LIFE x I.H.Sally SmithI discovered Mismo after suffering through a bout of perioral dermatitis, which left me wanting a more natural skincare range than the one I had been using for years. Being able to order the trial sized products was a bonus as it gave me a chance to sample the range without committing up-front. My favourite product is the Rejuvenating Gel – my face can be quite flushed after my morning shower, and this product is so cooling and hydrating, whilst also smoothing the fine lines around my eyes. I alternate between the Nourishing Cream and Anti-Wrinkle Cream for my moisturiser, and my teenage daughter now shares (steals!) my Daily Face Wash and Blemish Gel to keep her own skin clear. These four or five products have literally saved my skin!

Back to the Future
A few weeks go I went to Toronto for FutureRuby (whose website seems to have died with the event) I wasn't in any hurry to leave, hoping to avoid rush hour going around the lake. I checked the chicago traffic site, however, and found that there little variation in travel times, and in fact it tended to increase throughout the day, rather than showing a rush hour spike.
Once I finally did get going, I realized several hours in that I had forgotten my shoes. I was wearing sandals, and since the shoes are normally in the entryway, I overlooked them while packing.
I figured I'd take the trip in two strides. I thought I actually made it to Flint in time to look at the art museum, but I forgot to account for the time change. So I headed off to a couple of parks, including stepping stone falls, a great monument of concrete and algae.
For a change of pace, I stayed the night at a bed and breakfast outside Flint. Fairly nice place; housing for a large family turned to new uses, but very quiet during the week. One good idea was the outdoor play area for children.
The Canadian boarder guard seemed very wary, but she let me through with any trouble. The people at the BNB had assuaged my fears about currency conversion; there is a currency exchange just on the other side of the gate (almost too close, really) The dollar coins worked out fairly well; it's a shame the US gave up too early it's on dollar – these kinds of shifts take time for the novelty to wear off.
Toronto is a nice place, although if the hotel is any judge I don't know if it's affordable. Toronto is a city of neighborhoods. I could walk from the main shopping strip, through chinatown, to eclectic areas proclaiming organic food. It's probably a good thing it's so walkable. The FutureRuby kit included a weekend transit pass, which I promptly lost. As best I can figure, it fell out of my pocket while getting dinner Friday night.
I started following the #futureruby tag on Twitter for breaking news. It looked kind of interesting when people were discussing the restaurant recommendations. It looked kind of scary when the conference started and the floodgates opened.
There were some excellent and varied talks, though of course I didn't have to go to Canada for the straight up talks – they are already starting to appear on InfoQ. I went to try and pick up some programmer society, which is of course is a struggle. I was fairly lost during the parties, though I did manage some conversations, and met Collin Miller, a fellow dreamer looking beyond text editors. One thing I've run across during this is that I don't have a good name for textless programming. Structural editing is the best I've come up with.
Coming back across the border, I got in a slow line and figured "great, I've got a tough one" but I got passed through pretty quickly. I guess I don't look too suspicious.
I figured I'd keep going until I got tired; I was getting a little weary at one point, but after stopping for dinner, I was good to go the rest of the way home.
The local ChicagoRuby group had a meeting the following weekend, and had put out a call for lightning talks. I thought that an overview of FutureRuby would be topical, and a lightning (short) talk would be a manageable way ease into presentations. I didn't really consider how hard it would be to compress even my meager notes into ten minutes, however. All and all it went pretty well, although it took a day of writing, editing, and practice runs to compress it down.
Shortly after finishing that out, I moved my bookmarks from MyHq to Delicious (a long planned project) so that I could make all the FutureRuby links more accessible.

The petroleum industry has multiple settings in which water treatment is either essential, could get legislated, or simply is good business. Detailed below is a sampling of these and the BioLargo approaches to addressing them.
The Saline Aquifer Opportunity:
In some areas water wells are being drilled to supply the fracturing operation. In a nod to the environmental issues service companies are making fracturing fluids increasingly tolerant of chlorides. They are already at 40,000 ppm and one can expect that shortly to extend to 80,000 ppm. This means that certain saline aquifers become fair game for becoming the water of opportunity. However, they could well have contaminants such as bacteria and metals that would need to be removed. In these cases the BioLargo solutions may well be all that are needed. In some cases competition for water withdrawals could completely go away, with far reaching consequences to community acceptance of gas production as a neighbor.
Heavy Oil Operations and Associated Refining:
Heavy oil operations, both mining and SAGD, use vast quantities of water. In the latter case recycling is by and large practiced. In the former, the water waste is a major environmental issue. Both of these can be addressed with CupriDyne(TM)-SAP technology. Also, heavy oils often have a component of naphthenic acid. Refinery neutralization with KOH still yields a water waste with less than acceptable acid concentration. Naphthenic acid, as also all other carboxylic acids, are amenable to oxidation and removal with BioLargo technologies.
Produced Water:
The world annually produces about 4 trillion gallons of water associated with petroleum production. When possible it is reinjected at a cost. Sometimes it is used for water floods, although bacterial action has been noted as reducing the efficacy. Clean up and use of this water represents an opportunity. Again, salinity is the principal hurdle. There could also be metals, some of them valuable if harvested. In a majority of instances one could expect bacteria removal to be important. This may especially be the case if the water is destined for non oilfield use. BioLargo technologies very effectively piggy back on desalination processes and would render the water free of bacteria and metals if any.

Mechanics from Hell – Continues Part II
I walked in and was beyond shock. They had engine parts every were. The mechanics even had their tools inside my car on the seats, you could see engine oil finger prints on the dashboard. Just tint my windows at a shop close to me and he already had razor marks on it. I was furious, but I remained calm. I know the car was not drive able at this point. I just wanted the to put it back together so i could take it to the ultimate money sucker "car dealership". After what I saw, I did not want to experience another horrific mechanic shop. The manager called me into his office and printed out an estimate. He said the parts would arrive by 4pm if we order it right way. I said go ahead, and that is were they had me hooked. They offered me a ride back home, hoping they would get it fixed as soon as the parts arrived. I called them at 4:00pm, I was told they had to order the parts from another state because the supplier did not have the parts. I told them to put my car back together, since I needed it for work and it was working find earlier. He said I could borrow one of their trucks for free and bring it back the next day. I borrowed their truck and as I drove to work I was thinking "what did I get myself into?". The truck was smelling like a mechanic's shop, seats were dirty and oily.
Fast forward to the next day. It was a Friday, i drove to the mechanic's shop and sat in their office until they finished working on my car. I was not happy with the service, but I was glad to get my car out of there. i drove it home listening to the engine, but did not notice anything. I could only spell different kinds of engine fluid in my car and finger prints on my safety glass. I just got a SUV window tinting in New York City. Got home hoping my bad $1,400 huddle was over, but it just begun. Drove to work on Saturday, good day. I worked till 4:00pm and when it was quit time, I walked to my car to start the engine so i can turn the a/c on. I walked back in to clock out, chatted with someone and as I walked back out I could see a puddle of water between the front tires and it was still dripping from the engine. As I ran closer, all I could smell was petrol (GAS). I was pissed, i turned off the engine and noticed the fluid stopped dripping from underneath the hood.

Rebellious Holiday Makeup for the Party and the Afterparty
If you still consider a strong eye and strong lip combo "rebellious."
Every year it happens without fail. I receive an invitation to a rad holiday party, spend weeks dreaming up elaborate makeup looks, and then, in a last-minute flurry, resort to my shindig standby, a metallic eye and a red lip.
Not this year. I'm planning ahead so I can really impress 'em (looking at you, ex-boyfriends). I've come up with a total 360, involving coppery eyes and a gilded pout. Here's how it's done.
Step 1: Prep
Create a flawless base with foundation, concealer, and whatever bronzer/blush/highlight combo works for you. Fill in your brows and apply an eye shadow primer.
Step 2: Eyes
Urban Decay's Vice3 Palette has some gorgeous red shades that are ideal for this look. Start by applying Sonic, or any coppery red, all over the lids, to just above the crease.
Apply Bondage, or a similar dark burgundy shade, to the crease, blending it out toward the ends of the brows for a smoky effect.
Use a liquid eyeliner to swipe on a subtle cat eye. I'm obsessed with DHC's Liquid Eyeliner EX.
Finish with mascara--I'm using Lancome's Grandiose Mascara for major precision--and add a shimmering white shadow, like Vice3's Bobby Dazzle, to the inner corners of the eyes.
You've got two options here: subtle yet sexy, or balls-to-the-wall bold. When it comes to the former, I'm in love with MAC Lipstick in Icon, a frosty bronze that swings more to the neutral side. It's perfect for more casual parties, or even holiday dinners with the in-laws.
But if you're feeling gutsy, go for a shimmering gold lip, I used the Tinkling shade in Ulta's Perfect Ten Mini Eye Crayon Collection. It applies just like a lipstick and looks incredibly glamorous. This approach is better for glitzy get-togethers with the gals or, of course, New Year's Eve.

by Tina Swithin, Travel Paso Robles Alliance
Paso Robles comes to life in October during wine harvest and olive harvest follows closely behind in November. This is truly a magical season to be in Paso Robles! I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Frank Mercurio, founder of We Olive. Frank filled me in on a time-honored tradition in the olive world which is known as Olio Nuovo-it goes back hundreds of years. Olio Nuovo means "new oil" in Italian-it is fresh extra virgin olive oil made from the first press of the season. This fresh oil is a delight for the senses and typically has a pungent and peppery flavor. It's truly delicious.
I was so intrigued by the history of Olio Nuovo that I decided to dedicate this month's Pairings in Paso to a delicious Turkey recipe that was given to me by Frank and Ruth Mercurio of We Olive. "The Extra Virgin olive oil adds a depth and dimension to the turkey and it is always moist and flavorful", explains Ruth. I know that this recipe will be finding its way to my Thanksgiving Day table-hopefully yours, too.
For this pairing, I decided to go with the Windward Vineyards 2008 Monopole Pinot Noir which I recently stumbled upon. It's a wonderfully fruit forward, balanced wine with a strawberry nose, a velvety mouth-feel and a finish that opens and spreads forever. It will compliment this dish very nicely and I plan to have a glass in hand at 3pm on Thanksgiving Day (it'll be 5pm somewhere!)
We Olive's Olio Nuovo Thanksgiving Turkey
16 to 18 lb. natural or organic turkey that has been brined following the Cook's Illustrated brining method.
¾ cup We Olive's Olio Nuovo extra virgin olive oil. (We Olive's Arbequina, Mission or Tuscan blend extra virgin olive oil can be substituted if needed).
1 stick (1/4 cup) of butter, cut into eight tablespoons.
Kosher salt
5 peeled garlic cloves
1 small yellow onion, quartered
1 small orange, quartered
A "mix and match" handful of herbs of your choice; parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, etc.
3 tablespoons + ½ cup of We Olive's Olio Nuovo extra virgin olive oil.
Remove turkey from the brined solution and rinse. Pat dry. Be sure to pat dry the cavity, too. Tuck the wings of the turkey behind its back. You may have to break the joint in order to tuck the wing. Doing this will ensure that the wings do not burn during roasting. Generously sprinkle the cavity of the turkey with kosher salt. Loosen the turkey skin from the breast by placing your hand in between the skin and the breast, gently lifting the skin away. Try to loosen the skin as far down as you can go, to the thigh and over the drumstick.
Place one (tablespoon) square of butter in between the skin and the meat of the turkey in the following places: each drumstick area, each thigh area, and each breast. Place the remaining two squares of butter in the turkey cavity. Take the ¾ cups of We Olive's Olio Nuovo extra virgin olive oil and pour it in ¼ cup increments in between the skin and meat on both sides of the breast and ¼ cup into the cavity. Stuff the cavity with the garlic cloves, onion, orange and herbs. Tie the legs. Take the 3 tablespoons of We Olive's Olio Nuovo extra virgin olive oil and rub it over the outside of the turkey. Place the turkey on a roasting pan with a rack.
Roasting the Turkey:
Place the turkey in pre-heated 450 degree oven. Roast for the first ½ hour at 450 degrees and then drop the oven temperature down to 350 degrees for remaining roasting time. At this time, baste the turkey with We Olive's Olio Nuovo extra virgin olive oil. Baste every 45 minutes after that using the remaining olive oil or the pan drippings. Total roasting time will take 2 ½ to 3 hours. Remove turkey from the oven when an instant read thermometer placed in the mid thigh area reaches 165 degrees. In order to get an accurate reading, be sure the thermometer does not touch the turkey bone. Loosely cover the turkey with foil (to prevent poachers) and let rest for 45 minutes before carving.

When: Wed., April 24, 7:30 p.m. 2013
No one tells a vagina joke like Sarah Silverman. Sharp-tongued, sarcastic and really, really crude, Silverman jokes about rape and race and religion in her baby-girl voice—and has sometimes gotten herself into hot water as a result. She tends to polarize folks into those who think she's hilarious and those who are really, really offended. (Rolling Stone goes in the former category; they've called her "the most outrageously funny woman alive.") Silverman's touring standup act is for mature audiences only. —Emma Miller

It may seem odd to hear a 16-year-old croon about being "kinda older," but Lorde does it with such gracefulness that we'd believe anything she sings. It's a good thing, too, because the ditty in question -- her new single "Team" -- is a sleek anthem that emphasizes the singer's raspy pipes. The wise-beyond-her-years chanteuse wrote the new track, as she did the entirety of her forthcoming debut album.
"I am in Paris as I release this," Lorde wrote on the single's YouTube page. "Every street we drive down makes my eyes pop with the most incredible things carved in stone, and gilded on pillars, and wrought with metal; the heroes and heroines of this city aren't so hard to find. This song's [sic] are a little more mismatched, less classic courtesans on their pedestals, but nonetheless brilliant. This song is kinda of that world, and at the same time, very much of this one. Enjoy."
"Team" marks the third single from "Pure Heroine," which will see an Oct. 29 release. The singer's breakout hit "Royals" has climbed its way up the Billboard Hot 100, where it currently sits at No. 3. The second release, "Tennis Court," came out in June.

text: Q--Our two-story home is sided with white aluminum. Sometimes we get a wind from the East that blows a coal-dust-looking dirt onto the siding. We think it is coming from a nearby power plant. I can scrub this dirt off the porch floors and steps, but I cannot get it off the siding. We called a couple of painters to look. One said that he would paint the siding with the same kind of paint used on the porch. The other suggested two coats of latex. We are elderly and cleaning the siding is strenuous work--and we are too old to move out of the neighborhood. What do you suggest?

Understanding case-control studies as involving sampling the necessary information from an underlying, often unknown, cohort to learn about the relative increase in disease occurrence among exposed compared to not-exposed goes back to the 1980s. But comparing cases and controls in a table (often table 1) is still what we see. "You should stop this business of comparing cases and controls" was what Miettinen's students were told more than 30 years ago. Apparently, not many listened. This table 1 is often used to "identify" confounders based on data from this particular study. Determinants of the disease (and thus potential confounders) are identified, hopefully, from the entire body of evidence, not from data in a single study. Causes of diseases are not time and population specific.
It would make more sense to look at determinants of exposures among controls who should represent the source population that gave rise to the cases. The link between exposure and the potential confounder in this particular population is of interest since this causal link may well be time and population specific.
The p-values are used to identify potential confounders in these tables, clearly indicating that the authors do not understand what confounding is about. Confounding is about adjusting for causal backdoor pathways between the exposure and the disease of interest, and the magnitude of associations is more important than whether these associations reach statistical significance. A p-value is not a measure of association since a p-value measures both the strength of association and the sample size. Confounding is influenced by the first part but has nothing to do with the second part. Furthermore, the strength of associations of interest are not based on bivariate comparisons but associations in fully adjusted models. You may even see this practice of comparing exposed an unexposed for a set of potential confounders in a randomized trial, indicating that the authors understand neither confounding nor the principles of the randomization.
It may well be justified to adjust a randomized trial for factors that by chance became unevenly distributed among exposed and unexposed, but this uneven distribution is not detected by p-values, and adjustments should take all other factors that could confound the association of interest into consideration.
Many tables present a crude association and then an adjusted association, and both of them come with a confidence interval. It is unclear what the first confidence is there for; perhaps to remind the reader that there is no particular reason to have confidence in most confidence intervals? We know that estimates come with uncertainties, usually much larger than indicated by the confidence interval because there are many other uncertainties unless we talk about the perfect randomized trial, which hardly exists.
It makes good sense to provide the crude unadjusted estimate, because if crude values differ much from the adjusted estimate we need to know why. But why a confidence interval for these crude estimates? Do not put it in the table just because the computer spits it out. You need to have a reason.
We are interested in theoretical parameters like risks, rates, probability causes, effects, etc., but we are usually not able to measure these, only to estimate them. Do not state in your paper that you measured effects when you measured an association in the hope that it reflected the effects of interest.
And do not write that you confirmed the results by others or yourself. We are rarely in the business of confirming anything as our history painfully shows. Popper advocated using the term "corroborate" as more accurate.
These sins may not be "deadly" in a literal sense. They are more deadly boring and deadly annoying. Misinterpretation of p-values in decision making is, however, sometimes a deadly sin. Read about how not to interpret P-values further up in the Epiblog.

Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service
Neami National
Far Northerners will today get a chance to see a new $10 million facility that will support some of the region's most vulnerable and at risk residents.
A community open day for the Far North's new Cairns Community Care Unit (CCU) at Manunda will be held from 4pm and will be attended by Member for Cairns Rob Pyne.
The Cairns CCU at Manunda offers a recovery-oriented transition for adults with mental illness as they move from an acute inpatient unit to living independently within the community.
During their stay at the 20-bed service, residents will live independently in single units but still have access to around the clock psychosocial and clinical care.
Mr Pyne today joined the local community, Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service Chief Executive Julie Hartley-Jones and Neami National Chief Executive Arthur Papakotsias on a tour of the facility.
Mr Pyne said the Community Care Unit provides the essential transition phase for people who had suffered an acute mental illness.
"It is essential to be able to provide support for people from have spent an extended period in an acute mental health setting before they return to their everyday lives," they said.
Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service Chief Executive Julie Hartley-Jones said the Health Service acted on a community push for expanded mental health services.
"There has been a huge grassroots campaign in the Far North for increased services for those in our community who are struggling with mental illness," she said.
"This service is providing much needed capacity to assist people with mental health issues in the Far North."
The Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service will partner with Neami National in operating the new facility.
Neami National CEO Arthur Papakotsias said the new service would help people move on from acute mental health crisis in a supported and sustainable way.
"All too often, people living with serious mental illness are discharged from hospital without the support they need. This can lead to repeated crises and admissions," he said.
"The Cairns CCU service will provide people with lifelong foundations for health, wellbeing and recovery. It opens the door to a life that matches their hopes and aspirations for the future."
Funding for the Community Care Unit was provided by the Commonwealth Government with the Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service to meet the operating costs.
The facility began taking patients in November.

Actually, most ku fans aren't bad at all, but there are a few who just cannot help them selves.
First of all ....I've never said I don't care....I care a lot about the rivalry. Anyone here who says they don't care about the rivalry is a liar.
The truth is....MU fans simply can't talk any shit...because they simply don't have anything to back it up with except multitudes of failure year after year.
Even MU's beloved football program is dead even H2H w/ Kansas...though most wouldn't believe it because KU has recently had some historically bad football teams. But KU wona BCS bowl not too long ago...something MU has never done despite whether or not they deserved to be there...they showed up and thumped the shit out of VTech.
Now clearly MU has a much better program now, and has had many more NFL players (and good ones) come out of that school. MU fans just don't like to hear facts. Most of them live in dreamlands.

Brian Setzer Signature
Following over 20 years of collaboration, TV Jones is proud to offer our first-ever Artist's Signature pickup: The TV Jones Brian Setzer Signature model. The Setzer is derived from Brian's longtime preference for our TV Classic line – the most versatile and popular humbucking pickups in the TV Jones line, with a lineage harking back to Tom's original dissection and study of a certain, famed '59 Filter'Tron™ which became the reference point for the TV Classics themselves.
Bridge: Two specially wound bobbins with the TV Jones signature pole spacing.
DC Resistance: 6.3K | Inductance: 2.35H
Neck: Two specially wound bobbins with stock pole spacing.
DC Resistance: 4.5K | Inductance:1.70H
The TV Jones Brian Setzer Signature Pickup features a proprietary design, and employs special alloy pole screws that highlight the response of the magnet. This design provides more clarity while producing the punchiest low-end mid response in our Classic line.
It's a bit more over-the-top than our other Classics, but even with its similarities to the Classics, this is a wholly unique design – and a sonic match of the man's persona and musicianship.

That teamwork also extends to our optional food kitty of approximately US$10 per day, run to cover the cost of meals. This kitty saves you worrying about stuff like where to get food or what exactly sales tax is, and actually helps keep your costs down. Instead of paying individually as you go, it means we can bulk purchase items and cook our own food – though there's always the chance to use it for the occasional pizza night! The kitty is optional and for your convenience, so if you've got specific dietary requirements you can opt out and purchase (and cook) your own food.
The weather in the north can be unpredictable at times and you need to be prepared for all weather conditions. It can get suprisingly hot in summer, but it could also be quite cold. We suggest you bring layers.
