[Intro: Ghostface Killah]
Where y'all niggas hoggin' the shit, man?
Two pulls of that shit—nigga start gettin paranoid and shh
Get your fuckin, get your feet off my fuckin table nigga!
Fuck you think you at home, with your cheap fur on?
Shit look like it 'bout to bite somethin and shit nigga
[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
It was the night before he got popped
Big jars of haze, Cheech and Chong bong in the spot
Tropicana strawberries diced bananas the long dookie fifth
Next to the Town House crackers Madden on, 2008, a G a game
I'm Ron O'Neil the love seat sunk deep
Lil niggas bussin off they punk heat
I'll make a massacre try to rob one of my donkeys
But I ain't wettin that
I don't wanna send nobody back, violate me, take a nap
Promise you got something lord that will honor you
Blow your lil head off while you're tying your shoe
But back in the kitchen Pyrex's
Occupied by the twins bank robbers with large records hard vests
86 got guards on Benetton rugbies and frames that fake guns when they rob ????
To them that's natural actual play the squib God we gettin at you
And we don't want to rap to you
It's not Kosher
It's not a code of La Costra Nostra to roast ya I get a little closer
Rock you to sleep like I got these little bitches come over
Hoping you falll for the bait thinking you safe
Had that ass sweating like T.D. Jakes
I want the ones nigga you non believers you can ask your momma
Now that's drama
[Verse 2: Joell Ortiz]
Dollar icy from papi with the scraper Glock with the laser
Trying my best not to pop yet but the drop is major
Shot my lil cuz I do my aunt the favor watch this
I never been this itchy hope these cops just
Get a doughnut urge and just splurge you bot he nerve to play third
In a softball tournament round my way say that's your word you bird
I'll put your beak on a curb but anyway
Looks like a good game the pigs ain't leaving so I'm a lay
Nice play just too bad it's your last
Couple bundles of D and 200 cash to sack you in the grass
So watch the teams line up shake hands guess the games over
Faggot nigga hopped in a Liberty fake Range Rover
I'm on his tail like Sonic little shorty palming on a 40
Broad day I'm trying to dodge a cover story
Look like he stopping for gass I'm a pluck him yay
This had to be his most unlucky lucky day
2 brothers come out of 7 Eleven in army wear and stand there
Acting like my tires need air
He closed the gas cap too many things going his way
So I just stashed that you probably think I'm bugging but hey
I know them games in Lindsay Park is every Sunday he ain't going nowhere
I went home switched gear went out and grabbed me a beer
10 drinks later I'm at Burger King window for a Whopper
Look left and see partner I hit the stash blokka
[Verse 3: Game]
Who the fuck you think you is Ron O'Neal?
Tat tat what the fuck when that 9 milli peel
Is it real realer than Pitssburgh steel
Yo Ghost pass the toast these niggas is daffodils
Got buck naked bitches counting half a mil gloves on
Fully dressed bitches watching them with they snubs on
While I'm in the kitchen pretending to be Raekwon
Watching Rachel Ray all day I get my cake on
Fiends love me like a Drake song
Rep that Louboutin bottom in my back pocket all day long
Black Wall Mafias Wu-Tang Sopranos
Niggas steady pushing keys but we don't see pianos
Niggas steady pushing Phantoms we don't see the opera
Niggas steady rocking dreads you ain't even Rasta
Take your New Era off and reveal
The faggot nigga you are or your cap getting peeled
Then we out to Brazil I know niggas in Negril
That'd chop your fucking head off and throw it on a grill
Take the gold out your mouth and throw it in they grill
Send a finger to your moms and let her know that it's real
Nigga we in the field like Chris Johnson
It's 2010 how the fuck we get 6 Thompsons
Top 10 how the fuck you gonna forget Compton
Every rapper on your list'll get their shit stomped in
I started soowoo I'm the reasaon for that 5 shit
Came in the game on that fucking Ready to Die shit
Sold 9 mil ended up with some fly shit
Naked pictures R&B bitches all in my Sidekick
How I be killin the pussy should be a hate crime
Got a BlackBerry was getting too much FaceTime
Back to fucking project bitches now I hate dimes
All they want is money my nigga I can't waste mine

Grey cotton Louis sweat suit with the Ralph Lauren waist lines
Smooth as a baby's ass and I got that Baby cash

The KHT2005 system dominated the market for high performance, luxury finish sub-sat systems throughout the 2000s and continues to do so in its mark 3 form. The natural evolution of that product was the KHT3005, which has since proceeded to make its own equally formidable impact on the market.
Key to the product's success is the drive unit technology. The ribbed polypropylene cone of the Uni-Q adds sufficient stiffness to ensure that it moves as a simple piston – without any bending motion, so that the response is smooth and with minimal distortion. The result is a very detailed midrange which, when integrated with the precise treble of the aluminium dome tweeter, clearly displays the benefits of the Uni-Q principle: even tonal balance throughout the room and spacious, stable stereo imaging. The new 110mm(4.5") Uni-Q also featured Sealed Suspension Technology to help maintain clean output despite the very high sound pressures that exist in small enclosures.
The two-way, reflex loaded, satellite speaker reflex, HTS3001, was matched by a larger centre speaker, HTC3001, designed to easily cope with the extra demands of the centre channel signal on typical movie and multi-channel soundtracks. The system was made complete with the new HTB2 subwoofer (see separate listing). The 3005 system was updated to the SE version in 2007.
Specification: HTS3001
System type: Two-way, wall/shelf/stand-mount
Enclosure type: Reflex
Dimensions (H x W x D): 245 x 125 x 150mm (9.6 x 4.9 x 5.9 inches)
Weight: 2kg (4.4 lbs)
Nominal impedance: 8 ohms
Power handling: 100W
Frequency response: 70Hz to 55kHz +/-3.0dB
Sensitivity: 88dB at 1m for 2.83V

Bo and Hisako's Fresh, Green Kitchen
Yay for a little kitchen color! White, sleek kitchens are all the rage, but we're loving the fresh look of these green cabinets. Bo and Hisako are both architects, and have been renovating their Los Angeles home room by room. While they admittedly like "clean lines and clear spaces," they also wanted to create rooms that were "warm and comfortable." Now the green kitchen is a favorite and unique part of their home.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Danish police say "a considerable amount" of cocaine has washed ashore along the Scandinavian country's North Sea coast but they will not release details due to an ongoing European investigation.
Police spokesman Hans Roost says German police have made similar findings, adding the drugs could have been washed ashore by currents from a great distance and likely were not intended for the Danish market.
Roost said Friday the drugs were packed in bags and boxes but would not comment on local media reports that up to 100 kilograms (220 pounds) washed up in Denmark alone.
Roost says the street price for one kilogram (2.2 pounds) of cocaine in southwestern Denmark is up to 400,000 kroner ($72,000), depending on purity.

Halle Berry got a TV show (and a baby)
One of the early career prospectuses featured Halle Berry, and I maintained that her taste level in choosing projects is questionable at best—for someone who's won an Oscar and is generally considered very talented, she makes a lot of bad movies. Maybe she'll have better luck on TV? Deadline is reporting that Berry has signed on to star in Extant, a sci-fi show being produced by Steven Spielberg for CBS. It's about an astronaut who returns home after a year in space and struggles to reconnect with her husband and son, except her trip into space has consequences for "human history". So, aliens. Sounds promising, right?
It's being fast-tracked by CBS, skipping pilot season and going straight to series with a 13-episode order for next summer. CBS followed a similar course with this summer's Under the Dome, which, um sucked. Kind of a lot. And it's the same order as the new Hostages, which full on blows chunks. So the reservations I have come mostly from CBS.
I appreciate that they're one of the only networks taking a stab at adapting the shorter season cable model for their own use, but they're not really interested in making the best television. The CBS modus operandi is making the broadest-appealing shows possible, and Under the Dome is a perfect example of what happens to an esoteric concept when you try to make it work for everyone. (Compare to Fox's surprise hit Sleepy Hollow, which isn't trying to appeal to anyone and is, in fact, totally batsh*t insane and yet is doing very well right out of the gate.)
But, for Halle Berry's purposes, CBS goes a long way to accomplishing what I said she needed in her career prospectus. She needs to reestablish herself with the mainstream, to get away from her tabloid persona and just be an actress again, and a TV gig, even a short-season one, on a hugely popular network pretty well takes care of all of that. If the show is even a modest success Berry will get what she needs out of it.
Another thing that will really help? She just had her baby with Olivier Martinez. Berry's recent tabloid life has been nothing but drama with her custody battle over her daughter Nahla, but now she has a chance to start the narrative over. I can already see the headlines: "Halle happy at last", "Halle's new family: What's different and how love changed her", and the inevitable, "New man, new baby, new show." Synergy!
Attached – Berry on Friday, a day before giving birth.

Neat face brick semi detached home with approved plans for second story. Making this ideal for lock up and go.
A little history on Scottburgh and surrounds -
The village of Scottburgh is steeped in both colonial and traditional Zulu culture. During 1860, Scottburgh was the first town to be laid out south of Durban. At the turn of the century, the shallow bay was home to a fleet of fishing vessels and was, for a time a promising harbour.
Today, Scottburgh is a thriving coastal resort. Drawn by the year-round temperate sub-tropical climate and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, visitors flock to escape the cooler inland to enjoy the towns natural and cultural attractions.
The Green Point Lighthouse, a national monument, was erected in 1905, and situated on a hilltop opposite Blamey Bay, beams out a powerful warning to passing ships of the perils of the Aliwal Shoal. Although no wrecks are visible along this section of coast today.
Deep-sea diving enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with a number of excellent dive sites in close proximity to the resort, with the Aliwal shoal, rated by Jacques Cousteau as one of the top ten dive sites in the world.
An excursion to TC Robertson 60 ha of river and coastal bush offers opportunities to view over 200 species of water birds and other avifauna, as well as 15 species of mammal, including mongoose, bushbuck and duiker. Over 100 tree species have also been identified. Guided tours are available.
A Trip to Crocworld where over 10 000 crocodile as well as raptors, snakes, tortoises, water birds and flamingos can be seen in a beautiful, natural setting.
An added attraction is the vast choice of world class golf courses in the area, with the challenging and beautiful Selbourne Golf Course, just south of Scottburgh and the Umkomaas Golf Course, just north of Scottburgh, which is the home course to professional Tim Clark. Tee off from either the 18-hole Scottburgh golf course or the 18-hole Umdoni Park Golf Club, with fairways boasting an unrivaled view of the Indian Ocean but also two par-5 and five par-3 holes.

Health experts warn that Tuesday's bitter cold temperatures could be dangerous- leading to frost bite for those spending long periods of time outdoors.
"You've got to stay warm, obviously you have to dress accordingly. Layering is good. In temperatures like this it doesn't take a whole lot to get frostbite. Frostbite can set in a matter of minutes," said Dr. Louie Hondros, emergency physician at Rush University Medical Center.
Chicagoans like Mike Kagge take that advice seriously.
Kagge works at his family owned newsstand. For more than 10 years, he has not missed a day selling papers to loyal customers in Edison Park- even when temperatures are in the single digits.
"It is no picnic weather out here but I figure you know, no work, no pay," said Kagge.
On Tuesday, he came to work dressed in Under Armor, two turtlenecks, a flannel shirt, three jackets- and some extra protection for his toes.
"For years, my only problem has been my toes but a couple years ago, somebody invented toe warmers- toasty toes- and I slap those on my socks and my toes are fine," said Kagge.
No matter how cold it gets- man's best friend needs to go out.
Fortunately, Kristina Isabelle's dog Ginger enjoys it.
"She seems to love it, I tried putting a sweater on yesterday, but she doesn't mind the cold," said Isabelle.
Not all dogs are so tolerant. Dog walker Karen Short's two Pomeranians can only endure a brief walk in these frigid temps.
"They don't want to be out very long," said Short.
Dr. Jerry Klein with Chicago Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center says Short's tactic is a good one. He suggests moderate exposure to the outdoors for cats and dogs, who can easily get frostbite and hypothermia.
"Especially for young and very old animals who have been groomed or clipped down," said Dr. Jerry Klein with Chicago Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center.
From pet care to car care
When cold weather comes fast, it's equally important to treat your car with respect.
"Batteries are always the thing you want to make sure is ok. Make sure that they're charged properly, make sure the cables are clean. You want to be able to get out somewhere and be able to start the vehicle," said Ken Kein with Hawk Ford.Meanwhile, thoughts of warm weather are helping some Chicagoans get through the frigid temps.
"We do have it coming. Counting the days until Spring training for the White Sox," said Ken Sabala.

Invasive Plants in Our YardsPlants that are not native to South Florida are taking over our landscape. These non-native plants,which have been accidentally or purposely introduced by people, have gone wild in our yards, parks, roadsides, canal banks, and natural areas. The vast majority of introduced plants pose no threat, but some grow out of control. These invaders outcompete our native vegetation and gradually displace our native plants and animals, altering our landscape. The natural controls that keep them in check in their native homelands - disease and insects - do not exist here.
Land managers of natural areas recommend that you consider not planting these speciesin your yard, especially if you live near a natural area. For more information, check out the additional sources at the bottom of this page.

VENICE, Italy (AP) — Oscar-winning director Bernardo Bertolucci initially didn't want to head the Venice Film Festival's jury, saying it's "tremendously tiring."
But the 73-year-old Italian said he "caved in" after festival director Alberto Barbera wrote a letter in which "he succeeded to present some responsibilities I would have for cinema, above all for those who are starting out."
"Probably after the festival I will return to Rome and I will burn that letter," Bertolucci said Wednesday on the film fest's opening day.
The 70th edition kicked off Wednesday with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney starring in the 3D space odyssey "Gravity," which made its world premiere out of competition.
Contenders for the coveted Golden Lion include Terry Gilliam's "The Zero Theorem," Peter Landesman's "Parkland" and Kelly Reichardt's "Night Moves." Prizes will be announced Sept. 7.
"I have to say what I want most is to be surprised also in the prizes we award," Bertolucci said.
The 12-day festival requires the main jury to screen 20 films for the Golden Lion.
But Bertolucci, who won an Oscar in 1987 for directing "The Last Emperor," said Barbera's letter promised Bertolucci 18 films in competition for the Golden Lion, but made it 20 when the lineup was officially announced, to Bertolucci's chagrin.
"He told me it was not correct," Barbera conceded.

A troubling poll: 7 in 10 support death penalty for Boston Marathon bomber
In the two weeks since the Boston Marathon bombings, the police captured suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and as progress has been made to start his trial, the city has started to move forward in healing. However, a poll released this morning indicates that 7 in 10 people would support the death penalty for Tsarnaev, should he be convicted.
Though support for the death penalty has in general been declining over the years, it's not necessarily surprising that support would increase in a case such as this one. As ABC News points out, nearly 75 percent of people supported the death penalty for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley said the weekend after the bombings: "Forgiveness does not mean that we do not realize the heinousness of the crime. But in our own hearts when we are unable to forgive we make ourselves a victim of our own hatred. Obviously as a Catholic I oppose the death penalty, which I think is one further manifestation of the culture of death in our midst."
What greater good can be served by ending yet another life? The reason that the bombing, and other acts like it, is reprehensible to us is due in large part to the fact that people lost their lives and were put in danger of death. A quest for revenge can be fulfilled by capital punishment, but revenge differs greatly from justice and forgiveness.
If Tsarnaev is put to death, have we just denied him the opportunity for forgiveness? As Bryan Cones wrote in our February 2012 issue:
While it is indeed a moral obscenity to strap down and murder a defenseless human being—even a guilty one—it is no less unjust to deprive both the guilty party and his or her survivors of the possibility of reconciliation and redemption. Indeed, even in the face of inconceivable violence, God offers hope. For the perpetrator, that means the chance for repentance and conversion; for the survivors, it means the possibility of understanding, healing, maybe even forgiveness. Who are human beings to stand in the way of such salvation?
What happened in Boston was undeniably an example of inconceivable violence. But answering violence with violence, answering death with death, will do nothing to ease hatred and promote life and forgiveness.

MAYFLOWER, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has set an April 10 deadline for ExxonMobil to produce documents connected to the company's oil spill in Mayflower.
McDaniel issued a subpoena earlier this week for Exxon's investigative and inspection reports, videos and other data regarding the Pegasus pipeline that ruptured last week in central Arkansas.
Exxon has said it will comply with McDaniel's subpoena.
A corrective action order from federal pipeline safety officials say about 3,500 to 5,000 barrels of crude oil spilled after the pipeline ruptured. More than 20 homes in the area have been evacuated.
The attorney general toured the oil spill area Wednesday. McDaniel says residents deserve an explanation of what happened and what effect it had on private property and the environment.

Manchester Crimewatch: Assault suspect argues for lower bail
April 17. 2013 10:39PM
MANCHESTER - A city man accused of grabbing his wife by the arm and shoving her asked a Circuit Court-Manchester District Division Judge for personal recognizance bail, saying he needs to go to work.
A police prosecutor had requested a $1,000 cash/surety bail for Robert Tessier, 32, of 314 Merrimack St., at Tessier's arraignment Wednesday on a simple assault charge.
Judge William Lyons said that because Tessier is under the umbrella of a suspended sentence on an earlier conviction for assault, personal recognizance wasn't possible. But he was willing to set $500 cash/surety and $500 personal recognizance.
Tessier then asked the judge to set bail at the original figure, because a bail commissioner would likely not be willing to post a bond for less than a $1,000 bail amount.
Lyons agreed to the bail change. Trial was set for May 22.
On probation for assault
Hannah Webber, 22, of 30 Scottwind Road, Peterborough, pleaded innocent Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to two simple assault charges and trial was set for May 30.
Webber is accused of striking a man as he sought to leave a room at the Comfort Inn and of striking a police officer in the arm with a closed fist.
Bail was set at $1,000 cash/surety, with conditions barring contact with the man who sought to leave the room and barring Webber from the Comfort Inn. But the bail will not take effect until a 72-hour probation hold is resolved. Webber is on probation on a 2012 conviction for assault in Cheshire County, which carries a 12-month sentence suspended for three years,
Says he needs treatment
A city teen, already being held on forgery and other charges, was arraigned Wednesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on two felony forgery charges and two misdemeanors of theft by deception.
Tyler Murray, 18, of 393 Merrimack St., is accused of forging the account owner's signature on stolen checks and cashing two of them, receiving a total of $1,100 on March 13 and 14 at the Citizens Bank branch on McGregor Street.
Police prosecutor Lt. Peter Favreau sought $5,000 cash/surety bail for Murray on the new charges. Murray, who is being held on other charges, asked for personal recognizance bail, saying he needs to enter a treatment program.
"I have a problem that's not going to be fixed at Valley Street (Jail)," Murray told Judge William Lyons.
Murray said his family is trying to arrange for his release on his earlier $20,000 cash/surety bail. Lyons told Murray he wasn't going to release him on personal recognizance bail, but would reduce the cash/surety amount to $3,000. As for a treatment program, Lyons told Murray to speak to his lawyer, who knows how to work with the court for a direct entry into a residential program.
'I was loud in public'
Christopher Mulvey, 43, who lists the homeless shelter as his address, asked Circuit Court-Manchester District Division Judge William Lyons for personal recognizance bail on disorderly conduct and criminal trespass charges, saying: "I can't afford money now."
Mulvey, who said he won't have any money until he gets his next check, said: "I was loud in public. I don't want to spend the whole summer (in jail)."
Police prosecutor Lt. Peter Favreau, in asking for $200 cash/surety bail, with conditions barring Mulvey from the Dunkin Donuts at 921 Beech St., and the Engine 5 fire station at 44 Webster St., said Mulvey doesn't seem to understand why his behavior is a problem.
While Mulvey admits being loud in public, Favreau said Mulvey doesn't seem to understand why his refusal to move from in front of a garage bay at the fire station, blocking firefighters from backing in a vehicle, is a problem.
Lyons set bail at the amount and with the conditions requested by Favreau. Trial was set for May 30.

Greg Kinnear stars in director Marc Abraham's man-against-the-system docudrama Flash of Genius as inventor Robert Kearns, the visionary who developed the modern intermittent windshield wiper. Kearns submitted the invention to each of the big three auto companies, each of which promptly rejected it; the companies then turned around and put the device to use. The enraged inventor spent several decades attempting to collect on his patent, and mounting lawsuits that traveled all the way to the Supreme Court; he eventually collected over 30 million dollars for his obsession. Abraham co-authored the script with Scott Frank and Phillip Railsback, adapting an article by John Seabrook that originally appeared in The New Yorker. Dermot Mulroney plays Kinnear's best friend, with Lauren Graham rounding out the supporting cast. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus' Central Bank chief says "it's very important" to sign a bailout agreement with potential creditors by next month in order to calm jittery investors.
Panicos Demetriades says investment firm PIMCO and auditors Deloitte will come up with a preliminary figure toward the end of this month, or early December, on how much money the country's ailing banks will need to recover from their huge exposure to Greece.
Demetriades told private TV station Sigma Tuesday that this would help bridge a disagreement between Cypriot authorities and officials from the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund over the banks' actual needs.
Cyprus, which would become the fourth euro country to be bailed out, is thought to need between €11-17 billion ($14-21.6 billion).

Homegrown success
HCN student essay contest runner-up.
Grey‐bellied tilapia swim in the shadow of flushed tomatoes warmed by an October sun. Lettuce leaves bob up and down, their roots damp and clotted. For many, it seems like a pastoral paradise, but dig a little deeper and you'll find this Longmont, Colo. garden is actually a human‐engineered, recirculating, indoor ecosystem.
Sylvia Bernstein can still recall the first time she encountered aquaponics — the integration of hydroponics with aquaculture to grow vegetables and farm fresh fish simultaneously.
The 51‐year‐old Modesto, Calif. native had come across the term while overseeing plant technology at AeroGrow International, a Colorado company invested in indoor gardening systems; however, Bernstein was skeptical of its promises.
"I honestly didn't think it would work — aquaponics just seemed way too easy," she says of the system that circulates fish waste to fertilize plants, which in turn filter clean water back to the fish.
But a co‐worker already entrenched in the unique gardening movement insisted she check out his basement setup. It was a rainy Saturday in Boulder, Colo. when Bernstein and her then‐14‐year‐old son finally took him up on his offer. "I was amazed — that totally changed my life," she says. "I spent the next six months trying to figure out how I was going to get involved in aquaponics."
Bernstein, a graduate of agricultural economics, now works as one of the nation's leaders in the industry. Along with her husband, Alan, she owns and operates The Aquaponic Source, a one‐stop online shop for home aquaponic needs. In 2011, Bernstein founded The Aquaponics Association with Florida‐based commercial farmer Gina Cavaliero to promote the benefits of aquaponic food.
Indeed, aquaponics is quickly emerging as the latest trend on the sustainability scene, finding its way into both residential markets and large-scale commercial farms. Even NASA is exploring new ways to incorporate aquaponics into its missions.
"For me, it really starts with water," Bernstein says of the technology's green promises. "This is a really water‐wise way to grow plants — not only are you pulling less water out of the Earth's systems, you're also not putting fertilizer‐laden water back in."
Instead, aquaponic systems use electric pumps to move water from the rearing basin, where the fish are kept, to the grow beds. Once the tank is filled, Bernstein explains, there's no need to discharge the water, unlike with aquaculture where water becomes polluted. Aquaponics, too, can help tackle the issue of overfishing.
"As the world's demand for fish increases, as it has and as it will continue to, we're going to need to be farming fish more and more," she says. "And the ability to harvest those fish out of the ocean becomes decreasingly less appealing from an environmental standpoint — this is a way for us to sustainably grow fish on land."
While aquaponics has long been popular in warmer climates, like Florida and Australia, where temperatures guarantee a successful crop, an interesting trend is emerging in the West. Following Florida and Texas, aquaponics has proven to be most popular in Colorado and California. "Colorado is kind of an outlier," Bernstein observes. "When you look at our climate, why on earth would we be interested in these year‐round gardening systems?"
In the end, she chalks it up to the strong focus on sustainable living present throughout Boulder County, as well as a large number of survivalists in the Centennial State. "They're very interested in aquaponics as a means for self‐sustaining food and getting off the grid," she points out.
Indeed, aquaponics has proven so popular that, in October, the Bernsteins put up the money to open their first retail location in Longmont. On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the Bernsteins mill around their new facility, explaining the ropes to potential customers.
Alan, who was "drafted out of retirement" by his wife several years ago, recommends a "cool ice bath" as the least grisly method for harvesting homegrown fish. With seven grow beds in a greenhouse at their north Boulder home sprouting peppers, tomatoes, herbs and lettuce, the Bernsteins frequently prepare fresh salads and fish fillets.
"Any effort to grow and understand your own food is important," Sylvia emphasizes. "There's a lot of concern out there, and rightfully so, about the quality of our food, and the security of our food. We, as humans, gain a lot from being closer to our food sources."

CARSON, Calif. – It's all about winning championships, according to LA Galaxy goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts. Personal accolades can wait.
The 33-year-old Jamaican international earned his 11th shutout of the year in last Thursday's 1-0 victory over the Philadelphia Union, and Ricketts tied Kevin Hartman's franchise record for most clean sheets in one season.
Ricketts, however, could have cared less. In fact, he didn't even know about the accomplishment until a reporter asked him about it Tuesday.
Asked if he took any pride in the mark now that he did know, Ricketts shook his head and smiled.
"It would feel special if I had a record and we win a championship," he said. "You play to win championships. If we don't win a championship, that record means nothing.
"At the end of the season, you look back. You win a championship, then you say this was a special season. It's a team sport, and you play to win championships."
Ricketts, who signed with the club on Dec. 23, 2008, is 17-6-4 with a 0.81 goals against average this season. He already has two more shutouts than he did in 2009, when he was 10-5-10 with a goals against average of 1.03.
Ricketts made three saves in Thursday night's win over the Union, including two in a three minute span late in the second half to keep LA in front. The first of those two came in the 73rd minute when Philadelphia's Sebastien Le Toux tried to back heel the ball into the net off a pass from Andrew Jacobson, only for Ricketts to quickly dive to his right and deflect the ball just wide of the goal.
Ricketts, asked about that save, said he'd rather talk about a recent goal he'd like to have back.
"Let me talk about the Chivas game first," he laughed, referring to Alan Gordon's 63rd-minute header that went through Ricketts' hands and into the net in the Galaxy's 2-1 victory on Oct. 3. "I made a silly mistake and I let the team down. To take a clean sheet away from the guys after they worked so hard. In Philly, I just did what I had to do to keep us in the game. That's just the job."
It's a job he has performed exceedingly well, according to Galaxy goalkeeper coach Ian Feuer.
"From day one, his attitude is what makes Ricketts Ricketts," Feuer said. "To get a senior goalkeeper that still wants to learn, it's awesome. It's the little details we're trying to find, and he thrives on it.
"His biggest attribute is he's still so humble. He blames himself pretty much for every goal. He doesn't always say it or show it, but inside he knows he can save almost everything. That's a good trait to have.
Right back Sean Franklin admitted he didn't know a thing about Ricketts when he first joined the club – "I just saw that we signed a goalie, a big Jamaican guy," Franklin joked – but he has seen enough of him to know Ricketts provides the Galaxy a definite sense of security in the net.
"It's special having a player like that," Franklin said. "He's just intimidating. He has a real presence in goal."
Central defender Omar Gonzalez said he was impressed with Ricketts when he first saw him.
"Just walking in the first day and seeing how big he was, it was pretty incredible," Gonzalez said of the 6-foot-4, 215-pounder.
Gonzalez isn't exactly small at 6-5 and 210. "I didn't think he was going to be able to move well, but he's very agile and he has great hands. He's just really calm and collected.
"Whenever the games are tough, I think that's when he shines the most."

(Reuters) - French smart card maker Gemalto <GTO.PA> reported higher first-quarter sales and said it was on track to reach its goal of double-digit growth over the year.
The maker of smart chips for mobile phones and bank payment cards said on Thursday sales rose 9 percent on constant exchange rates to 518 million euros in the first three months of the year.
Sales at its mobile unit, which is its most profitable business and accounts for close to half its sales, grew 4 percent thanks to strong orders for its more sophisticated chip cards from telecom operators moving to 4G mobile broadband networks.
"Sales of high-end products to mobile network operators continue to expand and are expected to accelerate over the year as additional LTE and mobile payment services are launched," Chief Executive Olivier Piou said in a statement.
At its smaller security unit, which makes embedded software for electronic documents such as passports and driving licences, sales grew 21 percent to 91 million euros helped by deployment of electronic identity programs from governments.
Sales grew 13 percent to 143 million in its secure transactions business, helped by the worldwide move to EMV-standard chip technology for credit and debit payment cards as well as NFC technologies, which allow smartphone users to make contactless payments.
Gemalto said it expected double-digit growth in profit from operations and revenue at constant exchange rates.
The company, which will present its next strategic plan during the second half of 2013, said the U.S. and Asian markets would drive sales growth this year.
The company was hit by a 9.8 million-euro operating loss in its patents unit last year due to costs associated with a continuing legal battle in the United States against Google <GOOG.O> over the technology giant's Android mobile software.
"The activity in patents continues to be limited due to ongoing litigation," Gemalto said.
Shares of the Paris-listed company closed almost flat at 63.47 euros on Wednesday.

People ask me the all the time: What do you think of video for b2b?
The answer is complicated: I love video content and our market loves video content, but we have a lot to learn.
When creating video content, the rules of content marketing apply. Time is the price your consumer has to pay to consume your content. Viewers want to be entertained, learn something new, etc…Just ask yourself the following question: Will your buyers watch it, enjoy it, learn something, and then share it? If you can answer those questions with: "Yes!" then you win the gold medal. But keep in mind: If you can answer ONE of those questions with "yes", the video is worth making. An example of my least favorite video is the faux "customer success" story with scripted answers, obvious coaching, and a background wall that has been used in mall photo shoots. FYI: those are not watchable, enjoyable, instructive, and I will not share it. (FYI number #2: I like interview style video as well but natural, real interviews not fake ones) [Read more…]

None the less, if most persons with diabetes (especially type 2 adult onset) would engage in a walking program every day for 15-30 minutes, they could significantly reduce their chances of having diabetes complications that are associated with the disease over time.
A recent report in a fitness publication revealed the average diabetic's distane for exercise. A survey of 1,000 diabetics from the Joslin Clinic in Boston revealed that over 75% of them would rather take daily insulin injections for their control than perform regular exercise. That about sums it up in terms of their preference - but how did this scenario happen in the first place? Well, as it turns out, most diabetes physician caution their patients against exercise if their blood glucose levels are too high. It seems that if the sugar levels exceed a certain blood volume, then ketoacidosis could result if exercise proceds.
In my tenure as a diabetes and exercise researcher, I never could find the exact study that showed blood glucose levels actually increased if they were at a certain level (the ADA used the figure of 250 mg/dl). As a matter of fact, in my own studies, I found that as persons increased their fitness levels (say, after 2-3 weeks of exercise) their blood sugars would drop, even if they exceeded that 250 mg/dl amount pre-exercise. However, I never had any collaborating research to back up my work until last year.
One study in 1996 has come to my attention that deserves mention for all of theose health professionals who caution against exercise if blood glucose levels exceed that 250 mg/dl number. In a presentation at the 1996 American Association of Diabetes Educators national meeting in New Orleans, LA, Robert Hanisch and Ann Snyder presented information that will dramatically change the way exercise programs are applied to diabetics. In a study of over 1,000 consecutive exercise sessions, the authors attempted to identify if the classic information given to exercise instructors not to perform conditioning on a diabetic with blood glucose levels over 250 mg/dl was prudent advice. Over 300 exercise sessions were performed on patients with pre-exercise BGL's over 240 mg/dl. However, only 4 sessions resulted in an increase in BG. The mean increase for these 4 sessions was 23.5 mg/dl. Conversely, the mean change in BG of the remaining 311 sessions was a decrease of 52.5 mg/dl. The mean decrease in type 1 subjects (n=133) was 61.3 mg/dl. The mean decrease in type 2 subjects was 46 mg/dl (n=178).
For 98.7% of this group, the advice to delay exercise due to a possible deterioration in the metabolic control post-exercise would have been incorrect. Therefore, the commonly provided advice regarding acceptable pre-exercise BG levels for a person with diabetes should be reconsidered.
My own experience with diabetes mirrors this advice. I tell trainers who may not be familiar with diabetes and exercise that conditioning sessions should be "blood glucose dependent" - meaning that higher levels constitute a more vigorous and longer training session (more glucose to burn). Lower levels (under 120 mg/dl) constitute a less vigorous session for less time. If these principles are followed, emergencies will be highly unlikely.

A Glasgow woman was arrested after she left her baby in a car seat on a sidewalk in the Glasgow Trailer Park. She told police that a phone call about a nearby fight distracted her.
A 24-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday after police said she left a baby in a car seat in front of an abandoned residence in the Glasgow Trailer Park.
Abbie Arms, who resides in the 200 block of North Patrice Drive in the trailer park, left a baby in a car seat in front of an empty residence in the 300 block of Glasgow Drive, police said.
Police were called to the scene at 2:10 p.m. after receiving a report that a white female wearing shorts and a multi colored shirt was last seen walking away from the infant, police said.
New Castle County Police said that the baby was uninjured and buckled into the car seat.
Additional officers responded to assist in locating the child's mother. After a lengthy search, police said that they learned the name of the baby and his mother, as well as their address.
Officers responded to a residence on North Patrice Drive and made contact with Arms.
Arms told officers that she was sitting under a tree and received a telephone call about a fight that was going to occur in the area, police said. She became distracted and left the area without her son.
The baby was taken to Christiana Medical Center and admitted for observation.
The Division of Family Services was contacted and given custody of the baby.
Arms was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, police said. She was released on a $240 unsecured bail.

PORT LOUIS, Mauritius (AP) — Police on Monday searched for survivors of flash floods that killed at least 11 people in the capital of the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius.
Officials blamed climate change for the disaster that has left hundreds homeless in Port Louis.
Most victims drowned in rivers of water that rose swiftly Saturday in a pedestrian underpass leading to the waterfront and an underground car park, officials said.
Torrential downpours slammed Port Louis with some 152 mm (6 inches) of rain falling in less than two hours on Saturday, the meteorological office reported. It warned there could be more storms.
Major roads were blocked as surging floodwaters dragged away cars, forcing motorists to abandon them. National TV showed people clinging to each other as they waded through hip-high water in a central street.
Rivers of mud and debris covered the Canal Dayot suburb, where hundreds of families have been left homeless. Volunteers and charity workers helped shovel mud and handed out food and water to homeless survivors.
Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam declared Monday a day of mourning. On national radio Sunday he blamed climate change for the floods.
He said there also was heavy property damage.
L'Express de Maurice newspaper asked why the Disaster Management Committee had reacted slowly. It said the committee was warned by the meteorological office on Saturday morning that torrential rains were imminent but did not meet until Saturday afternoon.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – On the heels of an amazing run at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Women's Swimming Championships, senior Andrea Ward is set to represent UC Santa Barbara at the NCAA Division I Swimming Championships this week in at the Minnesota Aquatic Center in Minneapolis.
Ward, the MPSF Swimmer of the Year, will compete in the 100 and 200-butterfly events at the championship meet. In fact, she is seeded 10th in the 100-fly. Her qualifying time of 51.76 in the 100-fly was recorded at the Texas Invite in December. She won the league title in a time of 52.2.
"Andrea is swimming so well right now," said UCSB head coach Gregg Wilson. "I think she is primed to make a real run in the 100 fly. I believe she is going to complete her college career in very strong fashion."
At the MPSF championships in February, Ward won four individual events and was part of three Gaucho relay championships. In addition, she set UCSB school records in the 500 and 200-yard freestyle events, and the 200 yard butterfly. She was also part of a foursome that set a new school standard in the 800 free relay.
Not only did the San Leandro, Calif., native set UCSB records in four events, she set new MPSF marks in the 100 and 200 butterfly, the 200 free and the 400-yard medley relay. She also set new pool records in the 100-yard butterfly and the 400-yard medley relay.
Ward's domination at the MPSF Championship meet was nothing new. In her four years, she won a total of 18 league titles and set numerous conference records.
Ward will swim in the 100-yard butterfly trials on the morning of Friday, Mar. 21. The finals will be held later that night. The 200-yard butterfly trials will be held on the morning of Saturday, Mar. 22 and the finals will take place later that evening.

Soprano Gruberova marks 45 years on stage
Feb. 18, 2013
VIENNA (AP) — Slovak soprano Edita Gruberova is anything but reticent when it comes to what she wants from her audience.
"If the applause lasts less than 20 minutes, it bothers me," says Gruberova who, at 67, is celebrating the 45th anniversary of her first stage appearance with a concert performance of "La Straniera" on Monday. She describes the event as "a personal gift which I am happy to share with my treasured fans."
Performing with Gruberova in Vincenzo Bellini's opera are tenor Jose Bros, mezzosoprano Sonia Ganassi, and baritone Paolo Gavanelli. The performance will be streamed live from Vienna's ornate Musikverein concert hall.
A Feb. 8 performance must have come close to satisfying the "Queen of Coloratura": the audience feted her for 19 minutes.

Architects' monstrosities a soul-destroying sight
I AM feeling a lot better now. I've just eaten a lovely sand crab in an air-conditioned hotel room with a view towards the ridiculous Surfers Paradise skyline.
This skyline includes something called Soul, one of the more recent grand erections in the middle of the new Surfers.
It's a funny building, probably conceived by testosterone-inspired architects hell-bent on designing a shape few structural engineers would readily recommend.
It has no obvious spiritual significance beyond offering a chance for the rich and self-indulgent to live Nearer My God to Thee.
"Soul", and I quote from its website, "stands alone. It is the first and last of its kind soaring 77 storeys above a matchless beach."
We're told: "Life here is all about barefoot luxury. Soul means relaxed sophistication, casual elegance and effortless style."
What's more, we are assured: "Only at Soul do you arrive at an elegant porte-cochere to be greeted by friendly staff always on hand…."
And, if that wasn't enough to make the spirit soar: "The showpiece lobby with its gleaming glass balustraded staircase and towering ceiling welcomes you home..."
I shouldn't be cynical.
I've only briefly looked at the outside from an adjacent traffic jam, craning my neck to get a glimpse of a really rich person looking through those success-reflecting windows.
I probably share my pessimism about architects, and marketing people, with other structural engineers.
It's not that we don't admire them; of course we do.
It's just that we don't understand them.
It's usually left to the poor old structural engineers to build the monstrosities architects dream up.
They have to work out the stresses, get the loads right, put the steel and concrete in the right places and make sure things don't fall off when the wind blows.
Even when it looks hideous they have to grit their teeth and do their best to find suitable mathematics and a believable computer program.
Few people will admit to wanting to live or work in conventional rectangular boxes.
You only have to look at some of the daft houses that people build when they are in front of a television camera.
Smart, shape-obsessed architects are winning hands down and the engineer's life isn't going to get much easier any time soon.
There is a limit though.
I only have to visit the skyline that is in front of me, or the indistinguishably similar developments north and south of it, to realise there should be more to "success" than easy access to fast food outlets, a flashy funny-coloured house and somewhere near the beach to exercise the dog.
There are only so many architect-designed monstrosities that a bloke can take.
Then there is the modern obsession with using deep blues, deep reds, deep greens, when we long for pastel shades.
Not so very far from where I am this very moment enjoying a scotch (one, perhaps two, only), there is a new expression of the architect's ability to confound.
It's the new, very new, Gold Coast University Hospital, somewhat pessimistically positioned next to a Garden of Remembrance.
A fine hospital no doubt, its designers presumably had a reason for painting it blue and grey.
Not only that, it has its own adjacent car park.
This is indescribably green; various shades, all in rectangles, slitted, slotted and startling.
Go to Google's image search function, type in Gold Coast University Hospital car park and brace yourself.
I tried hard not to notice it on my trips past it in recent days but have failed completely.
It is a health hazard and confirms my suspicion that many of our very best architects are either colourblind or deliberately provocative.
Hopefully I'll be back in Toowoomba by the time you read this. God, I love that place….

Winter white is the what comes to mind on this last day of 2007. Not that it's actually white here in the grey northwest, but regardless, if the last day of the year were a color, it'd be winter white for me this year. Which is why I'm so loving the work and flickr set from nikkomoy. The above piece is one of her own and the below necklace is something someone else found. I love them separately. I love them together in a group of images. Different forms and textures and finishes, making nice with each other. Ever so lovely as a happy ending to 2007.
Thanks to simply olive for the happy link.

WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. (AP) — A judge has ordered that a 71-year-old retired police officer be held without bond on a charge that he shot a man dead in a Florida movie theater.
Curtis Reeves is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 43-year-old Chad Oulson on Monday. Reeves had his first court appearance Tuesday afternoon.
A Pasco County Sheriff's affidavit said Reeves told authorities that "he was in fear of being attacked" during the confrontation.
Officials say that before firing his gun, Reeves asked Oulson to stop texting at the theater in Wesley Chapel, a suburb about a half-hour north of downtown Tampa.
A deputy's report released Tuesday says Reeves used a .380 handgun to shoot Oulson in the chest.

DETROIT (AP) - Prince Fielder hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the fifth inning and added a soaring, two-run shot in the seventh to lift the Detroit Tigers to an 8-3 win over the New York Yankees on Friday in the Comerica Park opener.
Doug Fister (1-0) allowed three runs on six hits - including Kevin Youkilis' two-run homer over five innings. Drew Smyly pitched four perfect innings and struck out five for his first career save.
Ivan Nova (0-1) gave up four runs and five hits over 4 2-3 innings.
The banged-up Yankees took another hit, too. Eduardo Nunez, filling in for injured shortstop Derek Jeter, was hit on the right biceps by Fister's pitch in the fourth inning and left the game. X-rays were negative.

USDA's Oct. 12 crop production and supply/demand estimates contain more bullish news for U.S. wheat and corn producers, analysts say.
At a press briefing at the Chicago Board of Trade, analysts noted that although the United States is on pace to a record U.S. corn crop of 10.2 billion bushels, there is still a significant world production deficit for the coming year.
World ending stocks in corn are now pegged at 105 million tons, down from 127 million last month and 125 million last year. This, plus a decrease in U.S. ending stocks because of increases in exports and domestic usage, "is a pretty positive number across the board for the corn market," said Terry Roggensack, grain analyst with the Hightower Report.
World numbers in wheat have also been coming down significantly over the past four years. World ending stocks stand at 111 million tons, compared to 128 million tons last year, 136 million two years ago and 138 million three years ago. "Maybe the United States can see a better export market ahead because wheat exporters in Canada and Australia are bringing their production estimates down," Roggensack added.
"In wheat and corn, we are becoming the only viable stocks holder in grain for the rest of the crop year," said Dick Smetana, director of research, AgResource Co.
In fact, if you factor out wheat stocks held in the United States, "the world wheat stocks situation is tighter than it was in the boom year of 1995-96. It's because of our ability to supply and that we have the greatest logistics in the world, that the world feels comfortable.
The same is true in corn and coarse grains, especially with the sharp downturn in the Chinese corn crop (a 10-million metric ton decrease), noted Smetana.
"So while we look at our numbers and say that they are adequate, if we have any further problems in the world, it will fall on the United States for supply."
Smetana also believes that USDA perhaps underestimated feed demand for corn and soybeans in the United States, especially with production decreases in grain sorghum production and cattle on feed numbers being up as well. "We could add as much as 300 million more bushels of corn to feeding over last year. USDA has chosen to add only 200 million."
Smetana believes USDA also underestimated wheat feeding numbers. "They raised it only 25 million bushels. But I think you need to add 25-30 million bushels to that. So we could have another shoe dropping on wheat, getting the carryout down to maybe 825 to 850 million bushels."
Another positive for the corn market is that U.S. growers prefer planting soybeans over corn because of soybean's favorable loan rate.
The report also contained production increases for soybeans in both Argentina and Brazil which means a continued negative outlook in the soybean market.

Attend your local Kodiak Island County, Alaska fitness boot camp training program!

Each year, hundreds of people become members of gyms and fitness centers. On the other hand, there are even more people who are interested in attending local fitness and exercise classes, but they don't have the necessary motivation and inspiration. If you are one of them, you should definitely read this article because we will describe some of the things that you can experience on these classes.
To start with, you will be able to lose unwanted weight. This is a huge problem these days because there are many men and women that have problems with their weight. For those who are following the latest trends, this is not a surprise. Modern people usually practice sedentary lifestyle and eat unhealthy foods and the ultimate result is unwanted weight.

A simple sculpting of your body thanks to exercise and physical activity in the gym will make you look better than ever before.
Another great thing about taking such classes is the fact that you will get a chance to meet like-minded people. It is always a good idea to expand your network and introduce new friends in your life. These people are there for the same reason as you are so they will help you achieve your goals. It is not unusual to make new friends on these classes because they are visited by different categories of people.
Taking local exercise and fitness classes gives you an opportunity to learn new exercises. These places have professional trainers and they can suggest some new and exciting exercises. There is no doubt that you will find many of these new exercises challenging which is why many people agree that visiting a local gym is great for those who lack inspiration and motivation. We all know how to perform sit-ups and push-ups, but what about some more complex exercises that can affect different body parts? There are some smaller muscles that need to be activated too and these muscles can make huge difference in the way your body appears.
Obviously, you can start exercising at home. This looks like a convenient solution, but the truth is that it will soon become boring. When you are alone everything looks more boring and unchallenging. You don't want to compete against yourself and there is a great chance that you will start skipping classes. This is something that can't be experienced in a gym.
So, get out of your home and join a gym where you can find many new and interesting people. It is also a good idea to join group exercise programs. With their help you can transform your body fast and you'll find many new friends. Exercise and fitness are activities that provide much better results when people socialize.

text: When Tyco buys a company for $90 million, it's generally a good story for us anyway, but this bit about Tyco buying the last remaining bit of Sensormatic is pretty interesting. I'm still looking into it, but this Winner Security company seems to have done pretty well for itself. Check out this court decision from 2005 (warning: that link goes to a pdf). Basically, it bought a Sensormatic franchise in 1977 for $66,000, then leased it back to Sensormatic for more than $6 million over 20 years, then didn't allow Sensormatic to buy the franchise back when the 20 years was up because Sensormatic missed the 90-day notice deadline by 47 days, and now finally has sold the franchise back to Tyco (which bought Sensormatic in 2001) for $90 million. I've got to think Mr. James Winner has his face on a dart board somewhere in the Sensormatic/Tyco offices.

Another way to create dates easily, w/o using CONVERT or using a UDF (i.e., if you have SQL 7.0), if you are starting out with integers representing the year, month and day of the date you need to create:
declare @y int;
declare @m int;
declare @d int;
-- the date we wish to create is Nov 6, 2003:
set @y = 2003
set @m = 11
set @d = 6
select dateadd(yy,(@y-1900),0) + dateadd(mm,@m-1,0) + @d-1
Again, what makes this nice is you are not using CONVERT after concatenating a string together. And it's still pretty short. So if you are starting with a year, month, and day and need to turn it into a date, this is a pretty easy way to do it.

Indocin: Oral suspension
Summary Information
Also see:
- Reported side effects
- Daily life interactions
How This Drug Works
Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs or NSAIDs
NSAIDs reduce pain, inflammation and swelling while helping the body return to a normal temperature. When the body is injured or ill, it releases an enzyme known as COX. NSAIDs help control two specific types of COX enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2.
Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, or NSAIDs, reduce pain, inflammation and swelling while helping the body return to a normal temperature.

When the body is injured or ill, it releases Cyclooxygenase, an enzyme commonly known as COX. ��COX enzyme increases production of Prostaglandins or "PGs." While some PG's are necessary for cell health, others can irritate nerves and cause pain and swelling. ��NSAIDs help control two specific types of COX enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2.

NSAIDs stop both types of COX enzymes from working, thus reducing the level of PGs. Newer NSAIDs are designed to target COX-2 selectively and leave COX-1 alone. Ideally, this reduces pain and inflammation without upsetting the stomach.

Yay FWDAJ breaks even!!
How come the production costs topped $100M ?. I am no expert but its amazing to me that a film like this with no special affects, little set design, (when you compare it with Snickets) few extras (it was no Ben Hur) cost so much, I know Jim $20M is a big chunk but $100M that is alot of money. I know Jim uses a lot of film....but hey....I think Jim should get the accountants look over the books.
well, rumour has it that he demanded a solid gold toilet seat and handmaidens to annoint his smelly feet and hand feed him round the clock..........
then there were the dancing girls and the bags of Blue m&m's..............nope he don't come cheap.......
And don't forget his butt fluffer.
Jim doesn't really need an accountant b/c he learn the trade from doing the Mask.
I am part of an elite group of people......THE MEN OF JCO.
(Standing member since July 18th, 2005)
Trish how do you know about his feet????
anyway I was just thinking,
If someone can read someones palm, why cant someones
feet be read.
"Just a minute, let me read your feet" new introductory line at the pool.
My theory is that when they were filming the movie, California was being drenched with rain, non-stop, for three months straight. I think they had to re-shoot a lot of scenes due to weather, delays because of rain and cast members getting sick. There is one scene in the movie when Jim is outside in the rain and it is pouring. That wasn't movie magic, that was mother nature.

Our Perspectives
Can there be sustainable development without gender equality?
30 Jun 2014 by Leire Pajín, Policy Advisor
Whenever we analyze a development strategy, the inevitable question arises: Should the approach to gender equality be comprehensive across all sectors or should it be a separate issue and agenda?
Experience tells us that both approaches are desirable: A concrete goal for gender equality as well as fundamental indicators and targets that require creation of gender policies. These policies should contain specific measures to address half of the population's need for education, health care, access to land and energy, etc.
To date, this has been the most common approach across various UN groups, reaffirming the idea that a comprehensive and transformative approach is urgently needed in order to address structural barriers to gender equality and to lay a solid foundation for the future.
The key now is to draw lessons learned from the experience of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and strengthen the tools that advanced gender equality in the desired areas.
But what has been achieved by the MDGs with regard to gender equality? The answer is mixed:
- Gender parity has been achieved in primary education, but only 2 of 130 countries have achieved this goal at all levels of education.
- Progress has been made in access to employment. Globally, 40 percent of paid jobs in sectors other than agriculture are held by women.
- Progress has been made in access to public sector. And yet, as of 31 January 2013, the average percentage of women members of parliament in the world was just over 20 per cent.
The MDGs have failed to address key issues such as violence against women, unpaid care work, women's control over assets and property, wage and sex discrimination, health and reproductive rights, and unequal participation in public and private decision-making at all levels. They also failed to make sufficient progress in the reduction of maternal mortality.
Here are the challenges we need to address in the new post-2015 agenda:
- Comprehensive approach: Set specific gender equality targets for each of the goals;
- Implementation: Transform the goals into public policies with sufficient resources to address inclusion and empowerment of women in all spheres;
- Measurement and accountability: Build a set of gender-related indicators that will allow us to assess the situation in real time and focus on what works.
In sum, if we are to achieve true sustainable development, we must focus on addressing the structural factors underlying gender-based inequality, including social norms and attitudes that discriminate against women.
The challenge now is not only to be effective and move forward, but also to remember that we cannot afford a single step backwards. In the last century, we have seen many walls fall down. Let's hope that the 21st century will bring down the walls of inequality once and for all.
