Logan and Maria are back to break down both parts of the Vendettas Reunion and the Champ vs Stars season 3 premiere! We start discussing The Situation's drama on Jersey Shore before jumping into Bananas beef with both Devin and Tony, the open secrets about some of the cast members, Leroy's anger towards Cara and Tony, Devin's epic trolling, Nicole's treatment of 'her girls', confessional gangsters & keyboard warriors, our thoughts on Vendettas as a whole, and Cara Maria's overreaction to Nelson and Jordan's criticism. The pod wraps up with a brief recap of the Champs vs Stars premiere where Tony gets drunk with power, Shane acts as a human bowling ball, and Wes & Louise's conniving begin to control the house.
Category: Television (Page 2 of 5)
Logan and Maria recap the final of Vendettas by starting at the end with the after show where Nicole explains her injury and has an awkward moment with Laurel, before jumping into Leroy's reasoning for being mad with Tony, how Kyle lucked out in the final due to others playing politics, the problem with having only 1 winner, Kailah's struggles under pressure, and where the difficulty of this final ranks amongst the rest.
Logan and Maria discuss the Challenge Final Reckoning official cast before jumping into T.J. sending Devin and Jemmye straight home and whether it's fair to have a purge this late in a show, question Brads phrasing about his divorce, the wild and dangerous Box Me Out challenge, Nelson's ceiling as a challenger, Leroy's panic tactics to stay out of the elimination, and Logan goes on a rant about championship windows in relation to how Tony has burned all his bridges and gone all in on Vendettas.
Logan and Maria are back discussing MTV 's Challenge Vendettas but the show begins with our favorite Jersey Shore moments and whether we'll be watching the reunion show! We then jump into the last 2 Vendettas episodes, starting with Devin's failure to choose a good team, if the troika has too much power, how manipulative Tony and Zach were to stay in the troika, the 2nd round of mercenaries, Nicoles freak out over Laurel, Kam as RoY, adults failing at swimming, Jemmye's twisted logic to stay out of the troika, and both Logan and Maria have a major rant this week!
Logan and Maria are back discussing The Challenge Vendettas and Devin's epic journey to call out Bananas and send him home in the Bright Lights elimination, his scheme to break up both the Nelson and Kayleigh alliance and the Banatalie relationship, the bullying and subsequent removal of a roommate, and what to take away from the incident.
Logan and Maria discuss some Challenge rumors surrounding season 32 including the theme and some cast members before jumping into recapping episode 9 of Vendettas including Kams betrayal of Marie, Natalie's awful politics, Kailahs misconstrued message to Bananas, Kayleigh's dirty vote (and rumors about why), Kailahs safe play with the Grenade, the potential epic showdown between Devin and Bananas, and Logan goes on an epic rant about Johnny Bananas hypocrisy.
Maria and Logan are back to discuss MTV's The Challenge including the new Champs vs Stars cast, a few rumors, and Cara Maria's crazy eating habits. Then we jump into the last two episodes of Vendettas including our thoughts on 'Note-Gate', the mercenaries, the EPIC battle between Derrick and Joss, how great of an edit Kam is getting, how insanely dangerous the Car Crash challenge was, and Marie being pissed about the shakedown at the end.
Logan recaps the last three episodes of the Challenge and covers Natalie's poor political game, Devin finally getting the show, Marie vs Brad aka PizzaGate, Tony blasting through some disgusting food, Joss and Brad turning on Sylvia, Tony making fake deals, Brad and Britni flipping out, the Kam-Melissa fight, and one of the greatest eliminations of all time between Melissa and Sylvia.
Logan and Maria are joined by Challenge champion and Real World San Diego alum Frank Sweeney to discuss everything from his wardrobe, how he got cast on his Real World season, what he's been doing since his last show, the dynamics of reality show characters vs who you are in real life, MTV's culture of drinking and rewarding bad behavior, how some of the fan favorites has evolved over the years, the aftermath of Rival 2, fitting into a box as a reality show persona, and we take Facebook questions for the latter part of the pod.
Logan and Diana discuss the latest episode of The Challenge Vendettas and the finale of Champs vs Stars, topics covered include the whole house hooking up, Brad and his appearance on Challenge Mania+ manufacturing beef to get back on the show, what happened to Eddie on the show, Cory and Nelson never being taken seriously as a threat to Bananas, Tony continuing to trust Johnny, and a few of the highlights from the Champs vs Stars finale.

Explains what mood stabilising drugs are, what they're used for, possible side effects and information about withdrawal.

Robin BlamiresPosted on 18/06/2014
Mood stabilisers are psychiatric drugs that are licensed as part of the long-term treatment for:
Some of the individual drugs we call mood stabilisers are actually very different chemical substances from each other. But health care professionals often group them together, because they can all help to stabilise your mood if you experience problems with extreme highs, extreme lows, or mood swings between extreme highs and lows.
The 5 individual drugs that can be used as mood stabilisers are:
Lithium carbonate is the mood stabiliser that I'm on… Apart from the side effect of it making me really thirsty, I've found it has really evened me out, brought up my lows and made them not last as long and balanced the highs out, too.
People sometimes assume that antidepressant drugs are also mood stabilisers, because they can help to lift your mood if you're experiencing depression.
But in fact antidepressants are not included in the group of drugs we call mood stabilisers – they're a separate category of psychiatric medication. (See our pages on antidepressants for more information.)
You should only be prescribed a mood stabiliser by a mental health specialist, such as a psychiatrist – not by a regular GP.

Damascus suburb shelled, 18 killed across Syria
UN observers suspended their operations in Syria on Saturday, blaming intensifying violence as troops rained shells down on rebel bastions including Homs where the opposition warned a massacre was looming.
The United States said the decision marked a "critical juncture" for Syria and that it was discussing with its allies the way ahead for a "political transition" as set out in two UN Security Council resolutions.
Syria's neighbour Turkey and Britain also voiced concern with London saying the suspension "calls into serious question" the viability of the entire operation.
On the ground, meanwhile, violence claimed nearly 50 more lives, monitors said, at least 35 of them civilians.
The unarmed observers have been targeted almost daily since deploying in mid-April to monitor a UN-backed but widely flouted ceasefire, and they were likened to "sitting ducks in a shooting gallery" by Susan Rice, the US envoy to the United Nations.
Explaining the suspension, mission head Major General Robert Mood spoke of an escalation in fighting and of the risk to his 300-strong team, as well as the "lack of willingness" for peace by the warring parties.
"There has been an intensification of armed violence across Syria over the past 10 days," Mood said in a statement.
"This escalation is limiting our ability to observe, verify, report as well as assist in local dialogue and stability projects — basically impeding our ability to carry out our mandate," he said.
"In this high risk situation, UNSMIS (United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria) is suspending its activities," Mood said.
The observers "will not conduct patrols and will stay in their locations until further notice," the general said, adding that "engagement with the parties will be restricted."
Mood said the suspension would be reviewed daily, and that "operations will resume when we see the situation fit for us to carry out our mandated activities."
The UN mission's suspension of operations came two months into its three-month mandate, and after the United Nations accused both sides in the Syria conflict of willingly intensifying the violence.
The United States, Britain and Turkey reacted to the news expressing deep concern.
"At this critical juncture, we are consulting with our international partners regarding next steps toward a Syrian-led political transition as called for in Security Council Resolutions 2042 and 2043," a White House official said.
Resolutions 2042 and 2043 addressed the observers' deployment to Syria under a UN-Arab envoy Kofi Annan's peace plan aimed at "facilitating a Syrian-led political transition" leading to democracy, among other conditions.
In London Foreign Secretary William Hague issued a statement expressing "regret" and said: "This underlines the extent of the deterioration of security and stability in Syria, and calls into serious question the viability of the UN mission."
His Turkish counterpart Ahmed Davutoglu said in Istanbul: "In the event that this observer mission pulls back, there is need for the UN Security Council to immediately do a situation assessment and take a new measure to ensure the humanitarian tragedy does not move onto a next level."
Top opposition Syrian National Council official Burhan Ghalioun said the UN should urgently send peacekeepers. "Today, it is clear that one cannot rely on unarmed observers," he said.
The SNC, meanwhile, warned of a looming massacre in the flashpoint central city of Homs, which it said was besieged by 30,000 troops and pro-regime militiamen.
"Regime forces are escalating their shelling of the city of Homs in an unprecedented way," the SNC said, adding it had contacted members of the "Friends of Syria," asking them to "stop the massacre that is being prepared."
The shelling and shooting targeted several Homs districts and killed at least six people, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which said more than 1,000 families were trapped in the city.
The watchdog issued an "urgent call" to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon "and all those with a sense of humanity to intervene immediately, in order to put a stop to the continuous shelling."
Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP that "more than 100 people are injured" in Homs and need urgent medical care or "some of them will die."
Violence in Syria has killed more than 14,400 people since an uprising against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad erupted in mid-March 2011, according to the Observatory.
It reported at least another 42 people killed on Saturday, taking the countrywide death toll to over 180 in three days, with at least nine troops killed in clashes with rebels who lost four men.
A 10-year-old Sudanese girl was among those killed in shelling of the Homs province village of Farhaniyeh, and a family of three died when a shell slammed into their home in a district of Damascus province.
Regime troops also fiercely clashed with insurgents in the Homs province rebel bastion of Rastan, where at least five of the troops were killed, the Britain-based Observatory said.
Anti-regime activist Abu Rawan described the shelling of Rastan as "insane" and told AFP cars entering or leaving the town were being shot at with heavy machinegun fire.

Dependable information flow is a necessary prerequisite to the successful implementation of lean production principles. But while most managers understand how to make materials and manpower flow, the flow of information tends to be much more underdeveloped. Even companies that excel at recognizing waste and are otherwise adept at implementing the principles of lean production are often challenged to provide satisfactory information flow. Lean Connections: Making Information Flow Efficiently and Effectively isdesigned to help you rethink the way your organization views information flow. It provides the building blocks of a comprehensive information-flow system, showing you calculations and methods that will allow you to get the necessary information to those individuals who need it, when they need it. Following a logical and detailed progression, this manual shows how to make information flow in lean production facilitya From the end customer through materials control to the production floor On the production floor at the operator, team, and value stream level And then from the production floor to the management of the facility Employing a workbook format, this manual follows RNA Manufacturing, a fictional company, through its implementation of a comprehensive lean production system. As the authors outline RNAas methods and thought processes, they employ exercises that ask questions about your own production system. Your challenge is to think deeply about the answers, as well as the changes that need to be made to effectively make information flow through your facility.

Altamira Oriole— Photo: Barry Zimmer
In addition to all of the regular Rio Grande Valley specialties, which are absent elsewhere in the U.S., the potential for strays from Mexico, the possibilities too numerous to mention, is probably greatest at this time of year.
The Rio Grande Valley—from the barrier beaches of South Padre Island through the subtropical forested corridor along the river, to the more arid uplands around the Falcon Dam and Reservoir—is one of the best birding areas in the United States, home to a long list of birds which are absent or rare in this country outside of South Texas. Not only is this a "must do" area for birders, but the weather here is generally pleasant at this season, making for a great escape from winter weather elsewhere.
Among these famed "Valley specialties," we can expect to see Black-bellied Whistling-Duck, Plain Chachalaca, Least Grebe, Neotropic Cormorant, Gray and White-tailed hawks, White-tipped Dove, Green Parakeet, Red-crowned Parrot, Common Pauraque, Buff-bellied Hummingbird, Ringed and Green kingfishers, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Great Kiskadee, Clay-colored Thrush, Tropical and Couch's kingbirds, Green Jay, Black-crested Titmouse, Long-billed Thrasher, Olive Sparrow, and Altamira and Audubon's orioles, among other unique birds. In addition to these specialties we will also have the chance to study a diverse mixture of wintering waterbirds, raptors, and songbirds.
With luck, there is a chance of seeing some of the more difficult Mexican species that are recorded most winters, the possibilities including Muscovy Duck, Hook-billed Kite, Red-billed Pigeon, Groove-billed Ani, Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet, Tropical Parula, and White-collared Seedeater. The potential for very rare strays is greatest at this time of year, and with luck we could also encounter a real rarity on the order of a Masked Duck, Roadside Hawk, Northern Jacana, Rose-throated Becard, White-throated Thrush, Blue Mockingbird, Golden-crowned Warbler, Gray-crowned Yellowthroat, Crimson-collared Grosbeak, Blue Bunting, or Black-vented Oriole—all of which have been seen at least once on previous tours.
Only two hotel changes; an ideal escape from cold winter weather, with average highs in the 70s (though cool and windy days also possible); mostly short to moderate walks on level terrain.

"She won the event today, and she made the Olympic team!" Kaitlyn Farrington's dad screamed into a cellphone.
Behind him, a crowd of snowboarding fans waited for the US Olympic snowboard team announcement at Mammoth Mountain, California on Sunday. Music was blasting while the announcer was tossing hats and t-shirts to an enthusiastic crowd.
"Can you hear me?" Kaitlyn's dad shouted. "She made the Olympic team!"
Next to him, Farrington's mom staked a front row position and steadied her camera, ready to take a picture when Kaitlyn was announced.
To make the US women's halfpipe team, Farrington (who was profiled as a star on the rise by Sun Valley Mag in the Winter 2011 issue) had to win the fifth and final stop of the US Grand Prix. With Olympic gold-medalist Kelly Clark on a four-event winning streak, that was not an easy task.
But the 24-year old, who grew up in Bellevue, said she was not feeling much pressure. Her main goal was to perform her best and have fun while she was at it. Farrington said she felt pretty good knowing that she put together a solid run when it mattered the most.
"I'm really excited to have made the team," Kaitlyn said. "My whole family came out from Idaho, so I was excited that they were here for it, too."
Farrington landed her hardest run on the first try, besting one of the strongest fields in US women's halfpipe history. The win clinched Farrington's spot on the Olympic team. Clark took second place and Hannah Teter was third.
Heading in to the final three qualification events at Mammoth, only Clark had secured a position on the halfpipe team. The remaining three spots were so competitive that Kaitlyn's parents said they hadn't even booked flights to Sochi yet because they "didn't want to jinx it."
Along with Clark, Farrington and Teter, Arielle Gold rounds out the team of American women heading to Sochi.
"To have nine of 11 spots come down to the final weekend of qualifying shows the true depth of US Snowboarding," said Mike Jankowski, US Snowboarding's head coach. "We're taking an outstanding team to Sochi that's ready to bring home those medals."

Technique have finally released their video, displaying off how they took down Kil'Jaeden in around 15 minutes. That's 15 minutes of continuous concentration and coordination.
The feeling they all got when they survived the bullethell arena soon after 654 attempts must have been remarkable.
World of Warcraft guild Strategy, usually regarded as the most talented set of players in the world, took down Mythic Kiljaeden final week. Because the latest endboss of WoW – a minimum of till patch 7.3 is readily available – he proved more than a challenge for System and runners-up Exorsus. Right now, the guild announced the very first kill video for the fight would be made accessible later right now.
Immediately after 654 tries more than days and days of raiding, Technique at some point got Kiljaeden down final week. Using the reduction in really serious competitors due to many guilds quitting hardcore raiding over the past couple of months, it took a complete week for Exorsus to have a globe second kill on the boss. With that now performed, as opposed to waiting for the customary five kills, Strategy are displaying every person how it's performed tonight:
They also put out an interview earlier right now, explaining the fight and their method to it. Many with the raiders talked to referred to as it the "hardest boss ever" – not normally for the most beneficial reasons.
Certainly one of these factors was that a number of broken mechanics have been left in location for a lot of attempts when the raiding started more than the July 4 weekend. The harm on lots of skills was also tuned down considerably in a number of cheap wow gold patches, prior to the boss was ultimately killable. Even in its final state, it was rather the challenge, but prior to that was seemingly impossible. System also speak about class balance, and clarify their biggest existing concerns regarding the game in general.
Method's Twitch channel is embedded below. Expect the video to be uploaded to YouTube shortly afterwards.

Traffic stop leads to 2 drug arrests
by Bend Weekly News Sources
REDMOND, Ore. – A traffic stop in Redmond Friday afternoon led to the discovery of ¾ pound of marijuana and a small quantity of methamphetamine, and ultimately to the arrest of the driver and passenger, police reported.
According to an Oregon State Police (OSP) news release, Jon Joshua Guthrie, 32, of Milwaukie, and passenger Amanda Elaine McGee, 20, of Sandy, were arrested and charged with possession, manufacture and distribution of marijuana; and possession of meth. Both were cited for possessing an open container of an alcoholic beverage, and Guthrie was also cited for driving with a suspended license.
OSP Trooper Zach Mickle stopped the 1991 Toyota 4-Runner driven by Guthrie about 5:45 p.m., March 13, on the south end of Redmond on Highway 97. "The occupants were in possession of a pipe with methamphetamine residue," police stated in the news release, and a further search led to the marijuana, meth, weighing scales, packaging material, glass pipes and a large grow light.

No. 12 Hoyas Upset No. 9 Pitt, 74-66
Jan. 20, 2010
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Chris Wright scored 27 points and No. 12 Georgetown held No. 9 Pittsburgh scoreless for four minutes while taking control with a late 9-0 run and the Hoyas ended the Panthers' eight-game winning streak with a 74-66 victory Wednesday night.
Austin Freeman and Greg Monroe added 13 points each, and Monroe fed Julius Vaughn inside for a key basket that made it 66-58 with 3:50 remaining after Vaughn put in a free throw to complete the three-point play. Vaughn scored 11 points.
Gilbert Brown scored a career-high 20 points for Pitt, but the Hoyas (14-3, 5-2 in Big East) ended Pitt's 31-game home winning streak a season after the Panthers stopped Georgetown's 29-game run at home by winning 70-54.
Pitt (15-3, 5-1) missed a chance to go 6-0 in the Big East for the first time and lost for only the third time in 13 home games against ranked opponents since the Petersen Events Center opened in 2002.
Pittsburgh led 56-54 on Jermaine Dixon's 3-pointer with 7:48 remaining, but the Panthers didn't score again until Brown made two free throws with 3:48 remaining that cut the Hoyas' lead to 63-58.
Wright hit a 3-pointer that put the Hoyas ahead for good at 59-56 before Wright and Freeman dunked on successive possessions to finish a decisive run that began with Monroe's two free throws.
Pitt hadn't lost at home since a 75-73 loss to Louisville on Feb. 23, 2008. The Cardinals led Pitt by five points in the final minute Saturday, but the Panthers came back to win 82-77 in overtime.
Georgetown shut down Pitt's leading scorer, Ashton Gibbs, by limiting him to eight points--9.5 below his average--on 3 of 16 shooting, including 2 of 8 from 3-point range. Gibbs also was the primary defender on Wright, who repeatedly hurt the Panthers inside and out by scoring from the perimeter or driving the lane.
Wright scored 12 points in the first half as Georgetown, coming off an 82-77 loss to No. 4 Villanova, made its first five 3-point attempts while taking leads of 19-11 and 25-17. The Hoyas finished 7 of 10 from beyond the arc. But Gibbs hit a pair of 3s during a 10-2 Pitt run that tied it at 27--Gibbs' one brief burst of the game--and it was 31-all at the half.
Wright's early scoring was a good omen for the Hoyas, who dropped their previous three to Pitt. Georgetown is 13-0 when Wright scores in double figures but has lost all three games--to Villanova, Marquette and Old Dominion - in which he didn't.
Dixon added 14 points for Pitt, but Gibbs, Brad Wanamaker and Nasir Robinson weren't much of a factor offensively against the Hoyas' zone defense. Gibbs came in averaging 17.5 points, while Robinson scored a career-high 26 points against Louisville and Wanamaker scored 20.
Gibbs and Wanamaker (4 of 12) were a combined 7 of 28 as Pitt shot 45.6 percent.

WTPS: Sunday reports and rumours
Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) Football Club is located in North London. The club is also known as Spurs. Tottenham's home ground is White Hart Lane. The club motto is Audere est Facere (To dare is to do).
Teddy Sheringham's red card dominates Sunday's reports on our 2-1 defeat against Ipswich Town.
Meanwhile, on the rumour front. the Mirror's Chat Zone gossip column suggests Chris Armstrong is a £2m target for his former club Crystal Palace.
Ian Ridley's report in the Observer reads like this:
The wind of change through White Hart Lane this season has been a soothing zephyr, but the chill factor hit Tottenham Hotspur as much as the rest of us yesterday. Not only were they beaten by plucky, bottom-of-the-table Ipswich Town, but they saw their captain, Teddy Sheringham, sent off after an off-the-ball incident, which will mean a suspension for their tricky FA Cup third-round tie away to Coventry City in a fortnight.
All seemed to be going well for Spurs when Simon Davies, with his third goal in as many games, gave them an early lead, but strikes late in each half by Finidi George and Alun Armstrong pinched the points for Ipswich.
No side bottom at Christmas may have avoided relegation from the Premiership, but Ipswich proved they have it in them to prove an exception.
The teams, linked by championship wins in successive years in the early 1960's, are currently poles apart in the Premiership. In recent seasons, the situation at Tottenham has frequently been serious but never desperate. Now, though, under Glenn Hoddle, they are playing with a fluency that had seen them record 13 goals in their previous three home games and move up to seventh place.
By contrast, the situation with Ipswich is desperate but not serious, so philosophically does the club weather the vagaries of fortune. They arrived at White Hart Lane on the back of five consecutive defeats.
The opening to the game duly mirrored the clubs' positions. There was early energy to Ipswich and the formation of 4-5-1 devised by their manager, George Burley, worked well to frustrate the movement that has been the Tottenham trademark this season, with Jim Magilton, Jermaine Wright and Matt Holland clogging central midfield.
As Spurs took time to find an antidote, Ipswich created chances, with George shooting wide and Holland almost getting on the end of Wright's cross. Typically, though, for a side struggling for form, confidence and, above all, results, they conceded a goal to Tottenham's first real attack.
Sheringham, with a neat lay-off in midfield, set free Davies to run into space and, after supplying Sergei Rebrov, Davies ran on into the penalty area to divert home the Ukrainian's low cross. Ipswich were left looking for a linesman's flag that was never raised, or at each other.
One lapse had left Ipswich chasing a game again. They did so to good purpose, though. They looked as if they might get an equaliser when John McGreal rose to meet Herman Hreidarsson's corner, but his glancing header was wide. Neil Sullivan then turned a curling low shot by Martijn Reuser round a post.
Reward came when McGreal rose again to meet a corner, this time from the left by Reuser. His header was blocked, but George struck sharply, his overhead kick from the rebound fizzing past Sullivan.
Roused from complacency, Spurs almost retook the lead just before the interval when Christian Ziege shot against Matteo Sereni's right post. Minutes after the interval, the German again struck wood. Darren Anderton played an excellent pass out to Rebrov and, from his low cross, Ziege's snatched touch from a few yards out hit the crossbar of a gaping goal.
Now Spurs looked more like the team that had destroyed Bolton Wanderers 6-0 and Fulham 4-0 here the previous week. Their momentum was rudely interrupted, however, by a strange incident. As Ipswich lined up to defend another Tottenham corner, Mike Riley, the referee, blew his whistle and singled out McGreal and Sheringham, presumably for some argy-bargy. The Ipswich defender was shown the yellow card, but there was shock around the ground when the Spurs captain was shown the red.
So, too, did his team and for a while they lost their way. The introduction of the in-form and fit-again Les Ferdinand galvanised them anew, however, and he immediately tested Sereni with a fierce drive. Other attempts followed, Sereni touching aside Davies's shot and Anthony Gardner heading just wide.
The attempt that counted came at the other end, though, when Armstrong finished off an Ipswich breakaway by heading home George's cross. Ice Cold in North London.

Sinn Féin is to hold a major conference in Dublin this weekend to launch the party's campaign for a Border poll.
The possibility of a poll of all voters in the North was included as an item of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which is 15 years old this Easter. Under such a poll, a simple majority vote can determine the constitutional status of the North.
Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said such a poll would provide an opportunity for "a historic debate on the future of this island".
The North is "in transition", he writes. "It is no longer an orange state."
He suggested that the major changes in the last 15 years -- "the enormous economic changes of recent decades, the diminished influence of the Catholic hierarchy, and the disclosure of corruption in the golden circles and in politics" -- would facilitate the debate.
He concluded by saying, "Politics across this island is in flux. A new Ireland can be what we make it. The Border poll is a key element of this."
The appeal has drawn a mixed response.
Nationalists have pointed to an apparent demographic shift between the two communities in the 2011 census as fuelling the demand for a change. Those identified as having a Protestant background in the Six Counties, and separately, those identifying themselves to be in some way 'British', were both under 50%.
But DUP's Arlene Foster described it as a "stunt politics" and claimed there is "no evidence" that a Border poll would serve any purpose.
"It is very lazy sectarianism to look at the census and say that there has been a change," she said.
"If there has been a change, it is actually the fact that people in the Nationalist community are content in calling themselves Northern Irish and I think that is very significant because people are content in their identity here in Northern Ireland.
"They accept that that is the case and in actual fact a border poll can only take place if the Secretary of State - and Sinn Féin know this, so it is a stunt - it can only take place if the Secretary of State decides that there is evidence to support such a change and there is no such evidence."
Independent socialist commentator Eamonn McCann said Sinn Féin had to be "seen to be doing something". He warned a Border poll would be increase sectarian divisions at it would "literally be a flag-waving exercise" and asked: "Do we really want that?"
Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty defended the timing of the campaign, amid the unrest over the flying of the British flag on Belfast City Hall.
"That shouldn't be an excuse to not pursue a campaign which the majority of people on the island of Ireland would like to see," he said.
"The majority of people in the island of Ireland want to see Irish reunification but we recognise that the Good Friday Agreement allowed for a border poll and it would be a decision for people within the north.
"This isn't about sectarianism, this is about having a conversation with Unionists.
"This is about allowing people to make their own decision and to have that option of where they would like to see their future lie and what is in the best interests of them economically."

A newborn baby's fever is serious and should be reported to a doctor if it exceeds 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to MedlinePlus. A serious fever for a baby who is 3 to 12 months old is one that exceeds 102.2 degrees F.Continue Reading
A parent should contact the doctor if the child is under two years of age and the fever has lasted longer than 48 hours, explains MedlinePlus. A fever of 105 degrees F or higher is considered serious for any child under two.
Parents should call 911, according to MedlinePlus, if a child has any of these symptoms in addition to a fever: seizures, rashes and bruises, difficulty breathing, unconsciousness or inability to move in some way. A stiff neck, a very bad headache, blue lips, tongue or nails, and uncontrollable crying are other symptoms that should not be coupled with a fever and that merit an ambulance call if they exist together.
A feverish child should be taken to the emergency room if he has been having a fever on and off for a week; if he has other symptoms, such as nausea or a cough, in addition to the fever; and if he has a serious medical condition or has recently had vaccinations, notes MedlinePlus. A doctor should be called for a feverish infant who has not urinated for eight hours; who acts dazed or uncomfortable after the fever goes down; who cannot produce tears while crying; or whose fever symptoms keep returning.Learn more about Babies & Toddlers

Cal/OSHA Issues High Heat Advisory as Temperatures Rise Across the State
Oakland— Cal/OSHA is reminding all employers to protect their outdoor workers from the risk of heat illness, as temperatures in the Central Valley and parts of Southern California are expected to reach the 80s today and into the weekend, with record highs expected in some areas.
"While California's heat illness standards are the toughest in the country, we will continue to make sure employers and employees know the risks of heat illness and the steps that can be taken to prevent it," said Christine Baker, director of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). The Division of Occupational Safety and Health, commonly known as Cal/OSHA, is a division within the DIR.
Cal/OSHA takes a comprehensive approach to preventing heat illness among outdoor workers. Its award-winning heat illness prevention campaign, the first of its kind in the nation, includes enforcement of heat regulations as well as outreach and training for California's employers and workers.
"Heat illness can easily be prevented," said Cal/OSHA Chief Ellen Widess. "What's essential is access to adequate water, rest and shade, training for workers and supervisors on the signs and symptoms of heat illness, and ensuring emergency response procedures are in place in case of a medical emergency."
California's heat regulation requires all employers with outdoor workers take basic steps to protect outdoor workers:
Special "High Heat" procedures are also required when temperatures reach 95 degrees and workers are at greater risk. At these times, supervisors must take extra precautions:
Cal/OSHA will inspect worksites in outdoor industries such as agriculture, construction, landscaping, and others throughout the heat season. Through partnerships with various employer and worker organizations in different industries, Cal/OSHA will also provide consultation, outreach and training on heat illness prevention.
A Heat Illness Prevention e-tool is available on Cal/OSHA's website. Online information on the heat illness prevention requirements and training materials can be obtained at Cal/OSHA's Heat Illness web page or the Water. Rest. Shade. campaign site.
Cal/OSHA's Consultation Program provides free and voluntary assistance to employers and employee organizations to improve their health and safety programs. For assistance from the Cal/OSHA Consultation Program, employers can call (800) 963-9424.
Employees with work-related questions or complaints, including heat illness, can call the California Heat Helpline toll free at 1-877-99-CALOR. Recorded messages in English and Spanish detailing resources for California workers are also available toll free at 1-866-924-9757.

Apple Let's talk iPhone Event Disappoints: No iPhone 5, Only iPhone 4S
Apple's long-awaited event announcing the latest on the iPhone 5 finally took place and it disappointed everyone as the technology giant did not unveil iPhone 5 but only took the wraps off iPhone 4S, which came with a better camera and iOS 5 pre-installed.
Rumors, leaks, and mockups of iPhone 5 have been all over the Web for months but when the moment of truth finally came, Apple fans were let down. The company said it will not be releasing the next generation iPhone 5 this year. Instead, the rumored iPhone 4S will be out on Oct. 14. Pre-orders start this Friday on Oct. 7. The iPhone 3GS with 8GB will now be available for free with a contract. The cheapest iPhone 4 will now be available for $99.
Starting at $199 for 16GB, the iPhone 4S will feature iOS 5 upgrade and apps Apple promised. On the outside, it's identical to the iPhone 4. But Apple emphasizes that it's a completely different phone and the best iPhone out so far.
One of the most anticipated features to this software upgrade was the Assistant, named Siri. This assistant function has taken voice recognition technology to a whole new level. Users will be able to say a command about virtually anything, and Siri will respond and proceed with the task. Apple showed a few demos during the event, or you can visit here for a first look at some stills.

Stuffed croissants can be appetizer, snack, sandwich, breakfast or brunch food, sweet or savory. They're always quick and easy and a great way to use up leftovers with style.
For the most part, you can use ready-to-bake croissant or crescent
roll dough from a can. But for some recipes, like the Scrambled Egg and Salmon
Croissants, you'll need to purchase the big deli-type croissants.
Pictured: Cheesy
Chicken Broccoli Bites
These any-time treats call for crescent roll dough.
Generally, an 8-ounce can makes 8 croissants/crescents. Check the package.
For 16 stuffed croissants:
16 crescent roll dough triangles
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/4 cups cooked shredded chicken
1/3 cup bbq, peanut, pesto, or honey-mustard sauce, optional*
1 1/4 cups bite-sized pieces cooked broccoli
1 beaten egg, optional
Preheat your oven to 375° or according to package directions.
Set aside a third of the cheese. *If your cooked chicken is
not very flavorful, mix it with one of the suggested sauces.
Keep the croissant dough cool. Working with a few at a time,
lay out the crescent roll triangles with the short side toward you and tip away
from you, for easier rolling. Place about a tablespoon of chicken, a tablespoon
of broccoli and a sprinkling of cheese in the bottom third of the triangles,
designated at right. Roll up loosely.
Transfer the rolls to an ungreased baking sheet, tucking the tip under. Turn the ends inward slightly, forming a crescent. Brush the tops with beaten egg, for shine. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
Here's an easy one, with nice options.
16 crescent roll dough triangles
12 ounces mini semi-sweet chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate
1 cup finely chopped nuts
1 egg, beaten
Confectioner's sugar
In a small bowl, mix the chocolate bits and nuts. Lay out
the croissant triangles as above, Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the
chocolate-nut mixture over the dough. Roll up loosely.
Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash. Don't forget to tuck the tip under and the ends in for a neat crescent shape. Bake in a preheated 375° oven until lightly browned, about 12 minutes or so. Dust with confectioner's sugar.
Option: Fruit Croissants
Place a spoonful of the fruit preserves of your choice in the "magic" area of the croissant dough (circled in the diagram above). Roll and bake as for the Chocolate Nut Stuffed Croissants.
Good brunch or breakfast sandwich recipe. No baking because
you use prepared croissants.
6 large croissants
12 large eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
6 ounces chunky-chopped smoked salmon
1/4 cup chopped chives or sliced green onions
Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Keep them warm in
a low (200°) oven while you prepare the eggs.
Beat the eggs; salt and pepper them to taste. In a large
skillet, cook the eggs in melted butter over medium-low heat, stirring and
scraping the side regularly but not constantly. When the eggs are still very
soft (not dry) remove them from the heat and stir in the salmon.
Remove the croissants from the oven. Spoon the egg-salmon
mixture evenly onto the croissant bottoms. Sprinkle with the chives or green
onions. Replace the tops and serve warm.

Californians for Safety and Justice (CSJ), a project of the Tides Center, is a nonprofit working to create common sense solutions to California's failing prison and justice system while building safe and healthy communities. Since its inception in 2011 the project has aimed to reduce incarceration at the state and local level, reallocate resources to prevention, education, health and measures that supports sustainable reform plans. CSJ is engaged in policy creation, research, advocacy, public education and communications, trainings to encourage county-level reform, and alliance building across California's constituencies.
Sentence reform became a primary goal of the project following the implementation of Public Safety Realignment, the state prison reduction law passed in response to a US Supreme Court prison population cap mandate. In order to achieve the necessary policy changes, CSJ created the Alliance for Safety and Justice Action (ASJ Action) to launch their "Yes on Proposition 47" campaign in 2013. Proposition 47 offered reducing felony charges for certain drug and property offenses to misdemeanors to allow for prison releases and elimination of barriers to reentry as well as the potential for hundreds of millions in state savings. These savings were to be spent on school dropout prevention, victim services, mental health and drug abuse treatment should the initiative pass.
In a historic campaign victory Proposition 47 passed with 60% yes on November 4, 2014. It is estimated that the measure will produce around $100 million in savings per year from reduced prison costs. Since the propositions enactment over 3500 prisoners have been released, over 10,000 people have cleared their felony record and removed significant barriers to reentry, and county jail populations across the state have seen a 10-25% reduction in population. Following the measure's victory, CSJ is working to effectively implement Proposition 47.
