The Silence of the Lambs took the psycho-thriller genre away from the mould formed by Agatha Christie, the hard-boiled detective stories of Raymond Chandler and sundry tv imitators that built on these. In its place, The Silence of the Lambs introduced forensic profiling and the use of miniscule scientific and psychological clues to track criminals this fascination has become so prevalent that current tv schedules feature dozens of shows centred around forensic detectives of some type CSI: Crime Scene Investigators (2000-15) and spinoffs, NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003 ), Cold Case (2003-10), Bones (2005-17). The other thing that The Silence of the Lambs brought to the forefront of public attention was the notion of and the indeed the very term serial killer. Previously, cinematic killers had been defined in terms of improbable and outdated Freudian traumas.
In the horror genre, such success cannot go without being sequelized. Enter Dino De Laurentiis and the Hannibal Lecter sagas convoluted production history. Prior to The Silence of the Lambs, Dino De Laurentiis had filmed The Silence of the Lambs author Thomas Harriss previous book Red Dragon (1981) as Manhunter (1986) with Michael Mann as director. Hannibal Lecter features as a minor character in the book and was played by Brian Cox in the film. Manhunter was not a financial success and so Dino De Laurentiis passed over the option to film Thomas Harriss The Silence of the Lambs (1988) in which Hannibal Lecter was made into the central character. The Silence of the Lambs was then filmed under Jonathan Demme and the rest is history. However, when Thomas Harris published his long-awaited Silence of the Lambs sequel Hannibal (1999), Dino De Laurentiis was at the top of the queue in the bidding war that ensued for the rights and won out because of his prior relationship with Harris. De Laurentiis filmed the book as Hannibal (2001) with Anthony Hopkins making a return performance as Lecter and Ridley Scott in the directors chair, although this met with considerable disappointment from almost all fans of the original. Buoyed by the considerable box-office success of Hannibal, Dino De Laurentiis then went back and remade Manhunter as the passable Red Dragon (2002), also starring Anthony Hopkins. (Here though, the story of Red Dragon had been amplified to make Hannibal Lecter into the central character).
Hannibal Rising is a fifth Hannibal Lecter film and sets out to tell a Lecter origin story. The film circulated for a time under the title of Young Hannibal where the filmmakers had the idea of bringing Anthony Hopkins back and digitally altering his features to make him seem younger, but this never went ahead. Dino De Laurentiis commissioned a screen treatment from Thomas Harris, which became the credited screenplay. Harris developed this as a novel Hannibal Rising (2006). However, upon publication, the book received some astonishingly blistering reviews from fans of the other works largely because, among other things, it is only novella length and was published in large print in order to pad it out to novel length. Quite whether the book can be regarded as a novelization of the film or the film an adaptation of the book (as the end credits claim) is a debatable point.
Hannibal Rising opened to some expectedly bad reviews in the US (as had both Hannibal and Red Dragon before it). There were all the usual accusations of it being grisly and disgusting (as though people going see a film that they know is about a cannibal would expect a work of delicately refined sensibilities). The role of the young Lecter has been recast with 24 year-old French newcomer Gaspard Ulliel and the director is the British Peter Webber, a former editor whose only other film previously had been the exquisite Girl with the Pearl Earring (2003).
Hannibal Rising is a mixed bag. I enjoyed reading Thomas Harriss earlier novels Black Sunday (1975), Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs immensely. There Harris showed a mastery of suspense with tightly wound plots that had a gripping ability to get inside the detail of the investigation and a series of electric twists that snuck up with genuine surprise. This was flagging by the time of Hannibal, which lacked the same tightness and pace. I had never gotten around to reading Hannibal Rising prior to seeing the film so am unable to comment there. On screen however, Thomas Harris seems to have created a sprawling plot that moves between various parts of Europe and post-War eras but never settles in with the same compulsive grip that his earlier works had. While Thomas Harriss earlier works are tightly constructed thrillers, what we have here is little more than a revenge drama centred around Hannibal eliminating each victim. This is not a forensic thriller; its a variation on Death Wish (1974). There are few in the way of surprises and twists. More importantly, there is nothing in the film that delves into criminal psychology the way that Thomas Harriss earlier Hannibal Lecter works did.
What we could also have done without is some of the more comic-book elements. Thomas Harriss earlier Hannibal Lecter books revel in a fascination with forensic psychology, in examining and detecting minute behavioural clues. By the point of Hannibal Rising, Hannibal Lecter has almost become a comic-book super-villain he is raised in a castle; is adopted by a lady aristocrat who worships traditional Japanese samurai culture and teaches the young Lecter in the ways of the sword; becomes the youngest person ever to be admitted to a prestigious medical academy; and develops ornately sadistic means of despatch against those who have wronged him. These are not the kind of motivations that drive real-world serial killers like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy; rather it is the background characterization that might be offered up for a DC or Marvel Comics super-villain.
Sometimes an author creates a character that ends up surpassing their original creation in the public mind and taking on a life of its own you could point to examples like Wes Cravens original conception of Freddy Krueger that subsequently developed into something else entirely, or Ian Flemings James Bond, Count Dracula and Batman. Hannibal Lecter may also be one of those characters where the public fascination with the character far outstrips the authors conception. The public perceive Lecter through Anthony Hopkins demoniac performance, whereas Thomas Harris seems to appreciate Lecter on an entire different level. By the time that he wrote Hannibal, Harris seemed in two minds about Lecter. On one hand, he had created a monster; on the other hand, Lecter started to increasingly seem like an alter ego for Thomas Harris Lecter embodied qualities (be they an appreciation of classic art and fine dining, a genius mind that surpassed all mundane understanding and with a brilliant grasp of criminal psychology, amazing physical prowess, including the ability to control his autonomic responses, as well as a near-perfect memory) that one suspects were qualities that Harris wishes were his own. By the end of Hannibal, this divide played itself out in a peculiar ending that infuriated fans where, rather than continue to be a monster, Lecter became a romantic hero and swept Clarice Starling away.
In this admiration of Lecters qualities, Thomas Harris has had to end up justifying his actions as a cannibal psychopath. The way that he has done this is to reconceptualise Lecter as a just avenger in Hannibal, Lecter seemed defensible or at least sympathetic because he was placed up against someone even more monstrous and inhumane the millionaire paedophile Mason Verger; while in Hannibal Rising, the Lecter origin story is placed up against the shadow of what is often seen as the ultimate evil of the 20th Century Nazi atrocities and a group of viciously amoral thugs who are engaged in all sorts of crimes (including what looks like the current spectre of East European prostitution slavery) and, in particular, conduct the incredibly nasty act of eating the young Hannibals beloved sister. Where in the majority of real-life serial killer cases a good example on film might be Monster (2003) you gain a glimpse into the flawed thinking of a serial killer and understand the damaged circumstances that forged them into what they are. However, Thomas Harriss answer in conceiving an originating set of psychological circumstances for Hannibal Lecter is more one that casts his actions in the shadow of grim atrocities and then turns to the audience in effect saying Wouldnt you want to seek revenge for such things in the same circumstance? You could perhaps contrast Hannibal Rising to Rob Zombies films House of 1000 Corpses (2003) and The Devils Rejects (2005), which feature backwoods hicks imprisoning and torturing innocents. Rob Zombie seems to say that nothing means anything, not even morality, so why not engage in murder, mayhem and sadism. Hannibal Rising does not seem too far removed from that, although Thomas Harris seems to disguise such an attitude behind a veneer of moral relativism that it is okay to murder and torture and enjoy doing so as long as it is bad people that you are killing.
Hannibal Rising takes place without a great deal of genuine involvement. Peter Webber never draws us into the suspense. All that seems to drive Hannibal Rising are a series of moderately grotesque murders at various intervals Richard Brake in a faintly absurd scene where he is strung up to a tree and forced to sing a nursery-rhyme in German as a horse draws a noose tight around his neck; Ivan Marevich being drowned inside a med lab vat; butcher Charles Maquignon being sliced up and then beheaded by a samurai sword. Contrary to what most of the lily-livered mainstream critics thought about Hannibal Rising being nastily grisly, I found it tame. In fact, more often than not, Peter Webber seems to avoid the opportunity to go for the throat. Hannibal caused outraged with its climactic scene where we saw Lecter feasting upon the brain of a man. Despite ample opportunity here, there is never any scene of equivalent shock value. We get mention of how Richard Brakes cheeks were eaten but there is nothing seen of this other than Gaspard Ulliel starting a cooking fire in the forest and then a desiccated severed head found with its cheeks missing. Despite such being a crucial event to the film, the scene where Lecters sister Mischa is killed and eaten is only implied. We see nothing more of this than the men dragging her outside and wielding an axe no cooking, no blood, no eating, nothing. All that we end up with is an ordinary revenge plot that broods with darkness and perverse pleasures but critically fails in ever drawing us into the places it inhabits. In an era where such sadistically extreme films as Hostel (2005) and the Saw sequels can get mainstream releases and where Hannibal can show the eating of a mans brain, there seems no reason that Hannibal Rising should end up being so tame other than a failure of moral courage.
The film does get an effective performance out of Gaspard Ulliel as the young Hannibal where Ulliel manages to perfect an intense and menacing glare that leaves a certain chill. It is an obvious and theatrical performance but then so too was Anthony Hopkins performance as Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. The film also casts Chinese actress Gong Li as the Lady Murasaki. [Gong Li also played Japanese in Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) and her previous Western role was as the love interest in Manhunter director Michael Manns Miami Vice (2006)]. Gong Li moves through the film with an aristocratic grace but her performance feels impassive and detached. The relationship between Lady Murasaki and the teenage Hannibal was one that you wanted to be drawn into despite yourself it felt like it had perverse depths to it and it rings with the suggestions you could see of her moulding the young Hannibals mind. On the screen, it seems a relationship that brims with possibilities but one that is eventually left lingering and unfulfilled Hannibal even turns away and rejects her embrace. Not unlike the potential that the film itself held.
Subsequently, the Hannibal Lecter saga was further elaborated in the excellent tv series Hannibal (2013-5) starring Mads Mikkelsen in the title role.

Time Bot Marvel Legends custom Dr Doom creation
Here is the Time Bot, a robot created by Dr. Doom in order to steal Mjolnir and retake control of Latveria. The robot curiously succeeded, but the robot was in the end destroyed. Anyway, if you have an Iron Man Mk1 you are quite limited, and this was the cooler "classic" robot I could find. Just epoxied the head and torso and a complete repaint.

Preston Fencing Club
Having been going to the gym for a years now, i though it time for me take up some form of sport. I looked around at my options as i have only been gyming it for year but i wouldn't call myself to fit and being somewhat of an eccentric at times I wanted to do something "Interesting". I was talking to friend at work who was talking about her daughter who amongst several sports she plays did Fencing. Hmmm, that sounds like a sport for me!
I soon found Preston Fencing Club website and sent an email of interest in joining. Several months after sending said email i received out of the blue an invitation to attend there "Taster session" to which I quickly responded and confirmed my attendance.
There where about 10 people with me at the session ranging from 10 years old to around 60 years young, we got introduced to the staff and got right to a warm-ups to prepare the leg muscles for some hard work, i did almost feel sorry for some of the others who freely admitted they have done no exercise in years and soon was out of breath just after the warm-ups. After the legs Woke up i was shown all the pieces of equipment one would have to have, starting with the many layers of clothing needed to protect every inch of your body from possible puncture, all weighing about 2kg.
Knowing the gist's about the types of fencing and what one would wear we moved onto trying out some of the very basics of movement. Starting with "En garde" a French term to describes the basic stance of the fencer. This is a precarious position at first requiring one to have their right foot (being a right hander) in front of them pointing there toe forward, and then having the right foot perpendicular with toe pointing left, then you have to bend your knee's putting you into a high squatting position. To make things more fun, you keep this position when moving forwards and back. Moving the front foot forward then keeping knees bent and feet same angle move your left foot forward putting you back to the starting position. It's much harder then that's sounds, trust me!
Having practiced the stance and how to move I was given a training foil to try my hand at a move called a "Lunge" where by one would get the point of the weapon as far toward your opponent as possible, putting the back leg that is straight and leaning into the attack by at least 45 degrees and a front leg that is bent to the point where the knee is just over the ankle without over stretching. Getting back to the en garde position one just needs to bend the left leg knee slightly and bring the left leg back using your left arm as a counterbalance.
That's was all the time there was, I will hope to keep a diary of sorts documenting my progress into the world of foil fencing
Oh, In case you was wondering. Yes! I was aching the day after.
Any future updates will be placed in news.
Things Learnt
- En Garde – The basic stance of a fencer.
- Lunge – The fencer who is lunging has the point of the weapon as far toward the opponent as possible.
- Touch – Is when the tip of one fencers weapon touches the target area on an opponent.

Another brief "life update" post….
I thought it was about time I built myself a proper, grown up workspace… so this happened…
…and yeah, those are unicorn and rainbow stickers on the back of my brand new and very sensible Katy proof Lenovo Thinkpad (spill and drop proof, and delightfully ugly – I love ugly design!). [no prizes for guessing how I broke my last few laptops…😂].
And that's right, that IS a pile of cuddly toys and a hot water bottle along with a pill packet in the corner. That's right folks, I rock adulting.
This IS the way adulting should be in my opinion. Having the freedom to choose how you live and to ensure your comfort at all times and therefore create the optimum environment in which you can flourish.
I really hope that one day I can find a post therapy life that allows me to create my own workspaces to fit around my fluctuating mental health needs.
Because even when "recovered" I will always have a mental health to take care of, just as I have a physical health to look after.
And being allowed this level of flexibility in my working conditions would really contribute towards a "Life Worth Living" for me.
Even if when I go back to work, it isn't to my ideal job, I think I could be happy if I had this level of flexibility.

"Hagoonee", which could be translated as "alright then" or "until we meet again", is the word Navajo people use to say goodbye. The Navajo are one of the native nations of the American continent. This ethnic and cultural group has a population of roughly 300,000, mostly living in the Southwest of the USA, between the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. Despite the repression and, let's say it clear, genocide they have historically suffered at the hands of European settlers, nowadays they own a 65,000 square kilometer land reservation, one of the largest in their country.
Today, the Navajo people base their sources of income in a series of activities which include mining, agriculture, handcrafts and, above of all, managing the touristic attractions of their spectacular natural heriatage. The most famous of these landmarks is undoubtedly Monument Valley, a large area with several beautiful rock formations in the Arizona-Utah border. This place was immortalised by filmmaker John Ford in classic westerns such as "The Stagecoach" or "The Searchers".
The following photographs were taken in different spots of the Navajo land last August.

(Originally posted on my Tumblr.)
I don't think I'm alone in my desire to escape it all and live in a commune at times.
There is something infinitely tempting about waving goodbye to this loud, bright, fast-forward kinda life, and embracing something simpler and more meaningful. Unfortunately, the most successful communes over the years have arguably been attached to cults, therein significantly lessening their appeal to me. However, that isn't to say that cults aren't appealing. I'm not saying I'm ready to head off and join one, and I'm certainly aware of the terrible acts that have been attached to a multitude of them, namely abuse, financial control and murder. On the aesthetic face of it, though, there is something sexy about 'cult culture' concepts and visuals, and I know I'm not alone in this feeling.
Cos I'm your jazz singer, and you're my cult leader, lyrics from Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence, blares from my phone as I type this. Inherent Vice, by Thomas Pynchon, a book painted upon an undercurrent of Manson family fear and fascination, sits next to me. In one of a million tabs I have open, sits Netflix – amongst the most watched shows on Netflix are various cult documentaries, especially one on Jonestown.
There are so many reasons why this fascination might be so pervasive. One that stands out is that we love to watch things that creep us out a little – pleasure and pain, fear and intrigue, so often they intermingle, causing us to be a little turned on by things we know are wrong or may be bad for us in real life. Anyone who likes to play with ideas of submission/domination will be a little curious about the all-consuming nature of cults and the power they have over their members. Second, we all want to feel like we belong, and the cult narrative presents that, again, in such an all-consuming way of extreme belonging, while also causing us to question if this deep desire is really such a good thing after all.
All of this combines to give such striking visual aesthetics that I can't help but be in love.
Religious iconography, 60s and 70s Woodstock aesthetics, flowing sunkissed hair, pale hippie-esque cotton dresses and minimal or artistic make up. Trippy, pretty girls, the OG manic pixies, in love and obsession in woodlands, in bedrooms, and nearly always in California.
I will leave you with this thought and Lana Del Rey's video for Freak, with the enigmatic and magnetic cult leader himself, Father John Misty – scroll down if you're curious about the clothes and the makeup details.

Skin – Foundation is MAC Mineralize Moisture SPF 15 in NW 15. Highlighter is Benefit High Beam. The brush I used to apply it all was TWO POUNDS from PRIMARK and looks exactly like one of those Artis brushes that looks like a spoon. It is so soft and legit makes me wonder if airbrushing is now a real life thing, honestly, I am continuously amazed by this little brush and I think everyone should run out and get it before my secret is discovered and they cease to exist.
Eyebrows – Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Taupe.
Eyes – I used a little bit of Divine from my Lime Crime Venus palette as a base, before covering my lids in Aura from the same palette, as well as underneath my eyes and into the corners. Then, and get this, I used the light holographic shade from the cream/gel PS Galactic Eye Palette that I got once again for TWO POUNDS from PRIMARK of all places. Then after some thick black gel eyeliner, Twiggy inspired drawn on lower lashes and three helpings of Diorshow mascara, I used the Lime Crime glitter helper under my eyes and a liberal helping of gold stars from Stargazer.
Lips – Just a little bit of Saint lipstick by Topshop.

When using the products, I generally shower, put on my toner, and then apply the Youth Express Eye Gel to my forehead and cheeks. I put it on my fingertips and lightly tap away. I've been using the product for a little over a week, and the skin in those areas just looks better. It's firmer (which is nice because your skin stops producing collagen way before you realize how important collagen is) and brighter. Application directions say that the product can be used twice daily, but I prefer to just use it at night after my shower.
From there, I move on to the Youth Express Eye Serum. I start at the inner corner of my eye, and lightly tap it from the inner corner to the outer corner. It's important to tap it very gently! Sometimes I get a little excited about getting rid of those dark circles and use too much, so I lightly tap a piece of toilet paper over it to absorb the extra. I can already tell an improvement with the skin under my eyes! I no longer freak out when putting on eye shadow with fear that it will just make the dark circles appear event darker. Application directions say that this product can be used twice daily, as well, but I only use it at night after my shower. The product is orange, so I'm not sure how well it would blend under my makeup.
What do you think? Anything you would be interested in trying?! If you have any questions about the products, feel free to leave it in the comments or shoot me an email :)
A big thank you to InstaNatural for providing me with their product in exchange for an honest review!

[Photographing 2015] – The Eighth Week
The eighth week of 2015 started with some bangs from firecrackers in Taiwan as several Taiwanese greeted the New Lunar Year by making some noise.
And while most Taiwanese were stuck in traffic jams as cars seemed to clog the freeways during the holidays, we decided to stick close to home. We did a few short day trips here and there, but never venturing too far.

Brace yourself for an onslaught of Sept. 11 memorial ads as we approach the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In the U.S., most of these ads will be respectful, patriotic and (hopefully) muted in tone.

What is or are, Oxycodones active metabolites?

Responses (1)
The problems are 1) Wikipedia is an invalid referencing source and 2) does not state which are specifically active metabolites... I've already been there... Thanx thow
So search for metabolites of oxycodone and you'll find many sites.
Believe me I have. That's what's killing me here. I have found many sites but not one that specifically states the active metabolites that I can reference. Also, I live in a small town in Quebec far away from any resource I could otherwise use.
I know oxymorphone is an active metabolite, however I doubt you can reference me, lolol
Try this one. Info is from the FDA. https://www.drugs.com/pro/oxycodone.html
Scroll down to pharmacokenitics. There is a breakdown there.
Can't you get that info from the very thin paper info that comes with your prescript from the pharmacists? They would and should have that info.

Item # 575035
March 27, 1979
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, Pennsylvania, March 27, 1979 This issue carries a banner headline "Egypt and Israel Are At Peace" with subhead "Historic treaty is signed" and features a large photo of Sadat, Carter and Begin all shaking hands after the signing of the peace treaty. An additional front page article is entitled "At last, the 'miracle' of peace becomes real". Also within this issue is a special section dedicated on the Treaty. The front page of the sports section contains a photo of Michigan State's Earvin "Magic" Johnson scoring on Indiana State in NCAA final game. Also within the text of the report "Larry Bird, Indiana State's all-America forward and everybody's player of the year, had a rough beginning. Guarded mostly by Johnson in Michigan State's tight zone, Bird was forced to take several off-balance jumpers and had difficulty moving under the basket. Nevertheless, he had 11 points at halftime."
This the complete newspaper with all sections present, a slight discoloration at the centerfold on the front page, otherwise in very nice condition.

Chalk Fest, held at Riverside Campus on Sept. 21, was a way to celebrate students' creativity, said Art Teacher Drew Hartmann.
"We are always looking for opportunities to share our students' talents with the community," he said.
And what better way to do that than on sidewalks around the Painesville Township school?
Using concrete as a canvas, about 125 students, who were divided into groups of two, created art using chalk.
The event is in its second year and has certainly grown.
It started last year after Jessica Biller, who is the Art Department chairwoman, did a small chalk project with one of her classes.
The Art Department decided that was something they wanted to do with all of the classes to mimic the chalk festival held at the Cleveland Museum of Art, she said.
The chalk festival was offered to all Riverside students in eighth through 12th grade, including those with special needs. The students were required to submit a sketch and $5. Proceeds helped purchase supplies and support the Riverside Cares program.
In addition to sidewalk chalk, chalk pastels also were used.
"They are using paint brushes to do blending and add value to the drawing," she said. "They are incorporating water to make the colors more vibrant to give it more contrast."
It was an opportunity for the students to express themselves and display their interests through various designs. The designs included professional sports mascots, Disney characters, flowers and Halloween-themed artwork.
The y worked well together sharing ideas, critically thinking and executing their plans.
Biller said the artwork surprisingly lasts a while, too.
"I remember there was snow on the ground and you could still see them," she said.
It also coincides with the homecoming parade, which is a great accent, Hartmann adds.
This year's chalk festival at Riverside was deemed a success.
"We're having a beautiful day and the students are having fun," Biller said.

I take 200mg of stalevo evey 4 hrs or 6 times daily, I also take 1/2mg of clonazepam with each dose of stalevo every 4 hours or 6 times daily. it is now wearing off at 3 hrs, leaving me unable to walk, breathing difficulty,sweating and scared.

chissy55; I am so sorry your having so much problems with your Medications and sadly as far as dose you are on the maximum amount of the Stelvio but your problem is common with it wearing out faster than it is supposed to.It may come the time if it continues for the doctor to try something else at last choice. It just mentions these couple of things that can affect the absorption of your medication so I'M going to let you know just in case. It says this Diets that are high in protein may decrease your body's ability to absorb Stalevo. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor. Tell your doctor if you have a diet that is high in protein, or if you will be changing your diet to include more protein.By diet they don't mean your on a diet but if your eating very much fattie grease food or food high in protein it can affect the length of time your medication last in your system ALSO make sure your swallowing the pills you can't break chew or anything but swallow the medication.You might want to go over what you eat and see if your able to adjust if your eating too much protein in your daily food.But like I said this is a common problem with this medication.Wish I could be of more help, but it seems like this is very common with this medication but if here is anything you can do about it give it a try.keep in contact with your doctor and please no falling.Best wishes.

Roswell Park/University at Buffalo study finds significant risk for women who never smoked
Secondhand smoking is linked with pregnancy loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth and tubal ectopic pregnancy, according to new research from scientists at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and the University at Buffalo. The study findings, published online by the journal Tobacco Control, mark a significant step toward clarifying the risks of secondhand smoke exposure.
"This study demonstrated that pregnancy outcomes can be correlated with secondhand smoking. Significantly, women who have never smoked, but were exposed to secondhand smoke were at greater risk for fetal loss," said the study's lead investigator,Andrew Hyland, Ph.D., chair of RPCI's department of health behavior.
While there was previously some evidence that smoking during pregnancy was associated with the three outcomes of fetal loss studied here - spontaneous abortion or miscarriage (loss of a fetus before 20 weeks of gestation), stillbirth (loss of a fetus after 20 or more weeks of gestation) and tubal ectopic pregnancy - such evidence for secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure had been limited. This study is significant in two ways: One, it considered lifetime SHS exposure rather than only during pregnancy or reproductive years, taking into consideration smoke exposure in participants' childhood and adult years. Two, the comparison group of never-smokers was limited to women without any SHS exposure, producing a truer control group compared to previous studies.
The large sample size and comprehensive assessment of SHS exposure added strength to the findings. Historical reproductive data, current and former smoking status, and details about SHS exposure over lifetime were collected from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study. This allowed for a study group of 80,762 women.
"The statistical power gained from the large cohort of women that was available is noteworthy," added co-author Jean Wactawski-Wende, Ph.D., professor in the departments of social and preventive medicine and obstetrics and gynecology, and vice provost for research advancement and strategic initiatives at UB. "As a result of the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, participants came from a broad range of geographic areas and had multiple ethnic, educational and socio-economic backgrounds. This allowed for a comprehensive assessment of detailed information on exposures, outcomes and potential confounders."
Women with the highest levels of SHS exposure - despite never having smoked themselves - had significantly greater estimates of risk for all three adverse pregnancy outcomes, and these risks approached the risk seen among women who smoke (those who smoked more than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime). The highest levels of lifetime SHS exposure were defined by childhood exposure for longer than 10 years, adult home exposure for more than 20 years, and adult work exposure for more than 10 years.
"This study offers new information for women regarding the lifetime impact secondhand smoke can have on reproductive outcomes and their ability to successfully bring a pregnancy to full term," Hyland said. "The strength of the study also provides public-health professionals and others with information upon which to base health guidelines about the significant consequences of secondhand smoke."
The University at Buffalo is a premier research-intensive public university, the largest and most comprehensive campus in the State University of New York.

As I mentioned previously I managed to find some great deals when we went away for for Christmas. My very favorite with out a doubt is the little birdy you see above. It was only $1...From Walmart! When I saw it in the Christmas clearance department I'm sure I let out a little squeal and thought 'Do not go over $5 on that!' I was so excited to get it for half off at only $1. There is really nothing Christmas-y about it and the orange glitter matches my living room walls perfectly. It is now hanging on a little hook on the mantle. I did buy another at my local store a few days later. Who wants one? Leave a comment and you will placed in a drawing I will pull on January 20th!!
Did I ever mention that my very favorite way to relax is with a cup of Tazo Zen tea and a biscotti? I don't think so. Anyways I was quite pleased to find a lovely ceramic jar filled with Nonni's Biscottis for around $4(also at Walmart). I then found even another fun deal at BB's. No trip to my In-Laws is complete with out a visit to BB's. Its a grocery outlet ran by the Amish. We find the most fabulous deals there like crazy ethnic sauces for $.25 and big bottles of juice for $.60. Sometimes you have to be careful because some stuff is way out of date(a few weeks isn't gonna hurt!) the best find though was 3 boxes of Nonni's Biscotti's for $.75 each! Sure their 'best by' date was in November but they are supposed to be hard anyways! It's the little things I tell you...the little things.
*Since only 2 of you commented and one already has this and the other suffers from Ornithophobia I will be using this for something else. I was trying to get to know my readers because according the the FEEDjit there sure are a lot of them! Oh well!*

Our special discounts on bulk printing reduce this cost significantly, helping manufacturers stay profitable even when returns are not optimal
Astoria, NY (PRWEB) May 08, 2012
4OVER4.COM, a leading provider of digital and offset printing services including flyer printing, banner printing, booklet printing and other custom printing applications has announced a special cost-saving printing offer for manufacturers. 4OVER4.COM will provide special discounts for manufacturers who carry out bulk printing of user manuals, warranty sheets/cards, product catalogs, technical bulletins, specification sheets, and more, through the company. Participating manufacturers will also enjoy fast turnarounds, quality printing options and professional service from 4OVER4.COM.
Manufacturers are continuously coming out with new products - each intended to serve a specific market. With potentially millions of consumers in each of their operating markets, there is a critical need to ensure that the marketing side of their operations, which is principally charged with the task of effectively communicating the benefits and proper usage of each product to each consumer in each market, is successful in all aspects of its mission.
This is no mean feat, as the sheer scale of efforts employed in this area can be quite daunting to comprehend, let alone to manage. In addition to radio and TV advertisements, Internet promotion and social marketing, product promotion via print media is also a core aspect of the work of the marketing departments of manufacturing companies.
For industrial and consumer electronics companies, printed materials like various product catalogs, user manuals, warranty sheets/cards, technical bulletins, technical guides (specification sheets, installation/cabling/setup guides, repair manuals, etc.), newsletters and promotional booklets among others are typically printed in the order of millions of copies each month - and usually in multiple languages. This generates a huge cost, which if not controlled over time may begin to erode profits significantly due to fluctuating market conditions.
With the 4OVER4 offer of special discounts on bulk printing of printed manufacturer materials such as user manuals, warranty sheets/cards, product catalogs, technical bulletins, specification sheets, installation/cabling/setup guides, repair manuals, technical/DIY guides, and more, manufacturers can cut costs significantly while also enjoying the benefits of fast turnarounds, quality printing options and professional service.
"Manufacturers spend millions of dollars a month on bulk printing of materials related to each of their products; they print catalogs, manuals, newsletters and more – and usually in multiple languages – for millions of consumers worldwide. Our special discounts on bulk printing reduce this cost significantly, helping manufacturers stay profitable even when returns are not optimal," says 4OVER4.COM Principal Taso Panagiotopoulos.
For more information about the 4OVER4 corporate printing offer for manufacturers or for general inquiries, please email support(at)4over4(dot)com or call the 4OVER4.COM customer care line on 1-718-932-2700.

Review on Marianne
September 2013 saw the launch of Marianne Lumb's eponymous restaurant set on the corner of Chepstow Road and St Stephen's Mews in the largely residential area of Notting Hill, a short walk from Westbourne Park. This bijou establishment is probably London's smallest restaurant with just five tables and 14 covers it offers an intimate and exclusive dining experience. Designed by Godrich Interiors, Marianne's is decked out in pale green and peach, vintage wall lights provide soft lighting, with curtains covering the lower part of the windows enhancing the cosy atmosphere and tables are well laid with crisp white linen.
Cookery author, and BBC Masterchef, The Professionals finalist, Marianne has climbed the culinary ladder at a number of critically acclaimed restaurants including Gravetye Manor and Michelin-starred The River Café and Le Gavroche, as well as cooking for private clients such as Elton John and the Sainsbury Family.
Meticulously sourced local produce and seasonal ingredients are put through their paces for a daily changing menu that might kick off with cèpe tart and parmesan, or Summer truffle risotto. Follow on with a main course of poached turbot with rosti potatoes and fines herb hollandaise or for meat lovers there's fillet of grass fed Wagyu beef, both served with Wye Valley Autumn asparagus. To finish chocolate nemesis, with provençal figs, almonds and damson sorbet is a standout dessert for chocolate lovers, or maybe choose the spiced William pear tarte tatin with nougat ice cream.
The well thought out wine list has been created for Marianne by Tom Lorimer at Lea & Sandman to complement the food and there's delicious salted caramel chocolates and coffee to finish your meal.

1997: Palm
I have been using Personal Information Management (PIM) devices since 1997. Starting with a Palm III, followed by the Handspring Visor and the Palm Vx. All that time I had them together with a mobile phone, mostly Nokia, and used the Infrared connection to connect via Dial-up to the Internet.
1999: Nokia Communicator
The Nokia Communicator 9110 was the first device for me to combine a Phone with PIM functionality. And although I did like the form-factor of the brick, I hated the Symbian operating system. Thank god, I didn't abandon my Palm Vx, because within months I exchanged the Communicator with a Siemens S25. Back to split functionality with IR connectivity.
2003: Handspring Treo 270
This was a great device. It had all the features of the Palm combined with phone functionality. Calling could only be done through a headset, which was not a problem for me and Internet access was still dial-up.
2005: Handspring Treo 600
Another great device. Just like the 270 a Palm combined with a phone. I bought this thing because I broke my 270. This thing had a bit more the form-factor of a phone,you could hold it to your ear, but the biggest difference to me was the screen. I just loved the front-light screen of the 270 where you could turn of the light in daylight and therefore safe a lot of battery power. It was succeeded by the 650 which could do GPRS.
And I think this was the last Treo with PalmOS, because after that it was all windows based, which went downhill for Palm.
2008: Apple iPod Touch
The iPhone got introduced the year before, but I didn't like the price point and was reluctant about the phone itself. But it seemed that the OS was great and the eco-system was growing. I felt like trying when the iPod touch came out, and it was love at first sight. Back to split functionality, which felt good. Internet via Wifi, which was at most places.
2009: Apple iPhone 3gs
I had to give back the company iPod touch, because I was leaving at that time. But I loved iOS so much that I went straight for the 3gs. Back to combined functionality. Loved and used the device until today. iOS5 is making the device slower and the scratches scream to replace the thing. But I must also admit that in the last year, when I split my data and voice subscriptions I split the functionality sometimes.
2012: Apple iPad 3,iPod touch, mini or iPhone 5?
I am locked in the Apple eco-system, that's for sure. iOS still serves me great. But I have a lot of choices now. One is a €250,= discount coupon on an iPad 3, but I think it is too big. I like the new iPod touch, specs are great, an iPhone 4s with iPhone 5 screen. Will there be an iPad mini next month? I would love that form-factor. And then there is the, unlocked very expensive, iPhone 5.
To be continued…

NIMASA reads riot act to oil firms
The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has expressed concerns about the flagrant disregard for the cabotage and environmental laws by some International Oil Companies (IOCs) operating in in the country.
The Director General, NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, who stated this during an engagement with the IOCs in Lagos, said the agency would no longer tolerate the disregard for Nigerian extant laws.
He therefore enjoined the IOCs to be mindful of all existing laws and regulations in the discharge of their duties as applicable sanctions will be meted out to erring companies.
Peterside highlighted areas of interest to include the flouting of cabotage law, negative impact to the environment from oil exploration activities, none payment of statutory levies due to the government and inadequate information sharing.
The DG noted that the era of some of the IOCs carrying out their businesses in violation of Nigeria's laws especially as regards cabotage and the environment is over, stressing that "we will not fold our arms and watch while you do damage to our environment because environmental pollution is life threatening".
Besides, he noted that a situation where the IOCs engage foreign vessels to do jobs that Nigerian operators have adequate capacity and equipment will no longer be tolerated as this has been a major bane in the development of Nigeria's shipping industry.
The DG therefore charged IOCs that "you must give us ample notice of vessel requirements so that we can engage indigenous operators who have the capacity to do the job instead of giving it to foreign operators".
A statement signed by the Head, Corporate Communications, NIMASA, Hajia Lami Tumaka, quoted Peterside as saying: "The spirit of the Cabotage Act is not to generate revenue in terms of waivers but to build the requisite capacity for indigenous players which will in the long run generate wealth and create employment for Nigeria's teeming population".
Peterside who commended the IOCs for their compliance level with payment of statutory levies so far however noted that the argument on the payment of cabotage levies on Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSOs) facilities and other offshore platforms is unnecessary.
"By our laws, FPSOs and other offshore platforms are cabotage vessels that are subject to NIMASA's regulation and payment of statutory levies" Peterside said.
He further called for closer synergy with the oil companies for the benefit of the nation even as he promised that the agency will deepen its collaboration with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) for the benefit of indigenous operators in Nigeria's maritime environment.
He said: "Whether you are into shipping or shipping related business, NIMASA has a role to play in ensuring that the business is done seamlessly without security risk and not at the detriment of the Nigerian state. Therefore there is the need for you to cooperate with NIMASA especially in the area of information sharing".

A former West High teacher and coach accused of sexually exploiting children and distributing child pornography by computer denied charges in U.S. District Court in Billings on Tuesday.
Scott James Nichols, 42, pleaded not guilty to a 23-count indictment during an appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Carolyn Ostby.
The indictment charges Nichols with two counts of sexual exploitation of children, two counts of attempted sexual exploitation, 16 counts of distribution of child porn and three counts of possessing child porn.
The sexual exploitation charges allege Nichols coerced or attempted to coerce four minor girls to engage in sexually explicit conduct in December 2012 and January 2013 for recording and distribution. The girls ranged in age from about 13 to 16.
The indictment also alleges Nichols distributed child porn 16 times using a computer and possessed the material on computers.
Nichols' attorney, Jay Lansing of Billings, who is retained, declined to comment on Wednesday.
Nichols was let go from School District 2 in May 2013 after law enforcement officers informed district officials that Nichols was being investigated for inappropriate use of computers and the Internet.
"I would say we obviously made the right call when we didn't renew his certificate. I'm just glad we were on it," said Superintendent Terry Bouck on Wednesday.
"I remain outraged about what I have learned about the conduct that led to Scott Nichols' indictment," Bouck said in a statement. "I compliment our local police department and the Montana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force for their work on this matter and for informing me about the investigation on May 15, 2013," he continued.
"The moment I heard about the investigation, Mr. Nichols was placed on administrative leave and removed from schools. The same day I recommended to the board that his employment with the district be ended," Bouck said.
The superintendent also notified the Montana Office of Public Instruction.
"The safety and security of our students are my top priority. I join with my fellow educators in condemning this conduct in the strongest possible terms and redoubling our efforts to make sure our children are safe," Bouck said.
Nichols had been at West High for less than a year and had come highly recommended by his colleagues in Livingston. He also passed a background check, which is a standard requirement for all prospective SD2 employees.
Nichols spent most of his career in the Livingston School District, where he coached and taught for 15 years.
Nichols taught physical education and coached the West High Lady Bears basketball team. He began employment with SD2 on Aug. 20, 2012, and was let go on May 21, 2013.
District officials were informed of the investigation on May 15, 2013, and Nichols, a non-tenured teacher, was placed on paid leave the same day, said Jeana Lervick, the district's executive director of human resources.
The superintendent recommended to the board that Nichols' contract not be renewed, and the board followed that recommendation on May 21.
If convicted, Nichols faces a mandatory minimum 15 to 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the exploitation charges.
Ostby said she would release Nichols on conditions, including electronic monitoring, pending trial when the monitoring system had been set up. Nichols remained in the Yellowstone County jail as of Wednesday afternoon.
The case will be heard by U.S. District Judge Susan Watters.

SIINAI- OLYMPIC GAMES, ute 25/7
Siinai's debutalbum "Olympic Games" släpps 25/7 via Splendour.
Biografi (ENG).
Siinai was formed in the minds of four friends who all share a long background in the Finnish music scene working with bands of international status like Joensuu1685, Zebra and Snake & Äänijännite.
Siinai's debut album "Olympic Games" (due out later this summer) is a powerful experience of huge krautrock hymns with giant hooks, motorik marathons, psychedelic soundscapes and melodies of grief and relief. Building repetition leads you to moments of complete bliss.
Only a few months old, the project is already making significant waves playing a handful of powerful live shows in Finland and recently at SPOT in Denmark. They have also announced collaboration with Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade to be recorded later this year as part of his "Moonface" project. Don't sleep on this band.
"Siinai were brilliant: almost totally instrumental, with intense Krautish rhythms, ebbing and flowing melodies delivered with an intensity that only Finnish bands can summon."
-Kieron Tyler (MOJO/The Arts Desk) on their set at SPOT

Research from the Civitas think-tank tests the allegedly "self-evident and unanswerable" benefits said to accrue from the UK's membership of the European Union (EU) Single Market, and finds "no empirical basis" in support.
The report — which finds that for the UK the Single Market "must be counted at the very least a massive disappointment, and not far short of a disaster" in export terms — was written by Michael Burrage, the director of a market and corporate strategy research company and a former lecturer at the London School of Economics.
The study analyses trade and investment figures which a government minister in Parliament relied on to assert that EU members traded twice as much with each other as they would do in the absence of the Single Market. Mr. Burrage first looked to the documents cited in support of the minister's claim, but finding "scant evidence" there he then conducted his own analysis of the data.
Mr. Burrage's analysis of the minister's argument, one he notes is used by "big business and many other pro-EU lobbyists to support their stance", uncovered no empirical basis to support those claiming the Single Market confers benefits on the British economy.
In a conclusion which, it is claimed, "should fundamentally shift the terms of the debate surrounding Britain's relationship with the EU" and which undermines claims made by Britain Stronger in Europe campaign leader Lord Rose that an exit could be an economic disaster for the UK, Mr. Burrage says:
"The main aim of governments has been to ensure that membership of the EU is seen as a prized asset, which the UK must not let slip from its grasp. This has resulted in a mis-selling of the trade benefits of the Single Market comparable in some respects to the mis-selling of payment protection insurance, though on a larger scale, over a longer period, and with far more serious consequences.
"PPI offered borrowers protection that on closer inspection proved to be illusory, and at disproportionate cost. The evidence shows that the same might well be said of the Single Market."
