Pain is a common health issue for older people. Conditions such as arthritis, shingles, bone and joint disorders, and cancer, which often occur more frequently in older adults, are one reason safe and effective pain management is such an important part of high quality care for seniors. If you have persistent (continuing) pain, it can be hard to do the things you like to do, especially if your pain is not properly managed. Good pain management can also keep you healthier by enabling you to stay active, to eat and sleep better, and to enjoy a more active social life.
There are many ways to relieve pain. In addition to medication, other approaches, such as gentle exercise, relaxation techniques, hot or cold compresses, massage, and liniments, can help with pain relief. To help older adults and their caregivers understand safe approaches to pain management, Healthinaging.org has just released a series of new patient and caregiver materials:
- Persistent Pain: A Narrated Presentation for Caregivers: You can listen and watch this video for expert advice on how to help an older person manage their pain. The video has illustrations and includes information on how you can help, what you can do, and when you should call a healthcare professional.
- Ask the Expert: In this Q&A feature, Drs. David Mehr and Keela Herr answer questions on how to deal with pain that is ongoing (persistent pain).
- Tips on Dealing with Persistent Pain in Older Adults: This handy sheet of 10 tips is an easy-to-understand guide for older adults and caregivers.
- Guide to Safe Use of Pain Medications for Older Adults: This comprehensive guide includes information about the different types of medications that are used to treat pain. It explains what these medicines are, how they work, and their potential side effects.

Recently, I got a new Asus laptop with Windows Vista installed on it. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi on it and when it booted for first time I received the following error message:
"No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu."
So how to solve this problem?
Please help me.
I was using the wubi installer to run Ubuntu alongside Windows XP. I get the option to boot either Ubuntu or Windows on startup but end up with the same error msg. Obviously this is an idiotic software bug as the wubi installer is suppose to be taking care of such things automatically. So much for Ubuntu. All they are doing is running people back to windows when this sort of BS occurs.
I got the same problem, anyone please help what to do?
same problem here.. Can't seem to fix it.. And I can't enlarge my other partitions so I can steal a piece from windows vista.. Damn windows, always trouble with that shit, bah.. At least Ubuntu gives the option to delete everything and make a new clean install, damn vista recovery disks don't.. And for some reason, I can't make my partitions be gone again.. I'm stuck with a pre-defined kind of irritating partition system, and some free disk space or unallocated room when I delete the partitions I'm making. Can't enlarge the existing ones, only make them smaller and such.. Bah.. Wish I could install Ubuntu first, but that gives problems if I want a dual boot with windows, so I'm screwed, or does anyone knows a solution for our problem?
found a clean windows 7 installation disc, install it, find crack from youtube, and enjoy
How can I by pass the password to reinstall ubuntu? I cannot access the grub menu.
please post this as a new question. Click the green "Ask a Question" button in the top right of this site to open the question form.
I second re-installing. It appears that the bootloader is not working. And I've just found this free downloadable Ubuntu 10.04 getting started manual with a dedicated chapter about troubleshooting: http://ubuntu-manual.org/
You might want to take a peek.
I'd suggest re-trying the installation process; it sounds like it didn't work.
haha and re-try the installation process again if re-trying the installation process doesn't work

Book Giveaway Contest Results
Thank you to everyone who entered the book giveaway contest for Claire Gem's books. I have 3 winners, whom I am in the process of contacting:
- Chynna Laird
- Brenda McCommis
- Jeanne Felfe
(contest graphic above by Angela Mackintosh from WOW! Women On Writing, a great resource for writers here. )
Andrew McCarthy in St. Louis at the Library
I saw ANDREW MCCARTHY (yes, 80's heartthrob from Pretty in Pink and St. Elmo's Fire) at the St. Louis County Library Headquarters last night, and it was amazing! This is not because he was so charming and I have loved him since the 80's. But it's because he was inspiring as an author. Here's the beginning of my blog post I wrote about him on WOW!: "I Heard Andrew McCarthy Speak at My Local Library" True story. (Doesn't my blog title sound like one of those titles from a "true story" magazine?) I live in St. Louis, and last night–actor, director, travel writer!, and now YA novelist Andrew McCarthy gave an inspiring talk about being creative. Once I got over the fact that I was in the same room with this man I loved on the silver screen since 1986 as Blaine in Pretty in Pink, who starred in my favorite comedy Weekend at Bernie's and my favorite guilty pleasure, St. Elmo's Fire, I listened to what the man had to say, and I was pleasantly surprised.
As writers, we know that we sometimes look at celebrity writers with disdain. It's true because we know what it takes to slave over a manuscript and try to get an agent and then hope for some kind of book sales if we are lucky enough to get published. Then there's this celebrity, who already has all the connections, and probably on some whim decided to write a book, and now is living our dream. Writers can be a spiteful bunch. (winks)
But guys, Andrew McCarthy is the real thing! To find out how he is the real thing and the inspiring things he said, go here.

I liked the book because the animals talk and are realistic. It is funny and fun to read. I like Turtle because he is always reading the ingredients to Rooster. I think Iguana is funny, but I think Pig is okay. I do not like pig because he is always trying to eat the cake. But, most of all I like Rooster because he is trying to work with everybody. I think the illustrations are excellent because the animals look real. My family likes to cook with me a lot. Iguana is just like my little sister, always wanting to help.
I recommend this book for kids who like to cook. Kids of every age will like this story.

Bangkok: India on Saturday crashed out of the

The Indian team were pegged back by Vietnam`s attacking

However after the change of ends, Vietnam scored a couple

"I am very disappointed with the result. We could have
won it after making it 2-3 in the first half. The guys were

Syria faces calls for tougher sanctions as protesters vow 'death rather than humiliation'
BEIRUT (AP) ' Syria faced international calls for tougher sanctions as anti-government protesters vowed Friday they will choose death over humiliation at the hands of the regime.
The 5-month-old uprising in Syria shows no sign of slowing down, despite a brutal government crackdown that the U.N. estimates has killed some 2,200 people since March. Protesters pour into the streets every week, despite the near certainty of meeting a barrage of shells and sniper fire.
But the regime is in no imminent danger of collapse, setting the stage for a deadly stalemate.
On Friday, which has emerged as the main day for protests in the Arab world, rallies were planned for after noon prayers under the banner "Death Rather Than Humiliation."
The United States and Britain called for a tougher stance over Syria's crackdown on protesters on Thursday, demanding new international sanctions on President Bashar Assad and his regime.
In a round of talks on the sidelines of a Paris summit on Libya, the U.S., Britain and France discussed plans to escalate international action aimed at halting the violence.
"President Assad's brutality against unarmed citizens has outraged the region, the world and most importantly the Syrian people themselves," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in Paris.
In what appeared to be a high-profile defection from the regime, a Syrian attorney general appeared on video late Wednesday declaring his resignation to protest the crackdown.
Adnan Bakkour, attorney general for the central Hama province, said security forces killed hundreds of people in the restive city of Hama and arrested thousands of "peaceful protesters."
The Associated Press could not verify the authenticity of the video. Syria has banned foreign journalists and restricted local coverage, making it difficult to independently confirm events on the ground.

MESA, Ariz. -- Erika Arvizu simply wanted to update her kitchen by getting new cabinets installed. The job was going to cost around $1,500.
Three months ago, she hired a guy by the name of Benancio Reyes to the do the work.
However, she says after paying Reyes $1,500 up front, he took her money and did absolutely no work.
Not only that, she says Reyes ran off with her money and is in hiding. A tearful Arvizu tells 3 On Your Side, "He stole my money. He took off. That's why I am really sad."
Reyes asked 3 On Your Side to find Reyes and help get her money back.
When 3 On Your Side's Gary Harper caught up with Reyes, the unlicensed contractor took off and ran into the house where he stays.
"Benancio, why are you running? It's not nice to hide," Harper yells as Reyes ducks into the home.
We tried to talk to Benancio, but he wouldn't open the door.
"You might want to take care of that warrant, Benancio," Harper says.
Benancio Reyes didn't know it at the time, but he had an arrest warrant stemming from another case where he allegedly contracted without a license.
The warrant was enough to pique Reyes' curiosity and he finally opened the door to explain what happened to Erika's money.
"I tell you this. It's a civil court, it's a civil matter," Reyes explains.
Harper replies, "You're already in trouble for contracting without a license, so it's a criminal matter now. It's not a civil."
But, Benancio explains that he's the victim, saying Erika paid him $280 to tear out the cabinets and then refused to pay him anymore.
Harper asked, "And you're like, if you're not going to give me money for the cabinets, then I have to walk away?
Reyes replies, "I have to walk off the job. She left to Mexico. I had no money left to do anything, so what could I do?"
Erika later told us that Reyes' explanation is untrue. She gave us a receipt earlier with several cash payments totaling $1,500. Money she says was given to Reyes.
Even though Reyes stuck to his story, it was too late because after my conversation with Reyes, police picked him up on that warrant I told him about.
He was booked into jail for previously contracting without a license and driving on a suspended driver's license for a previous DUI.
Arvizu says she realizes she'll probably never get her money back, but knowing Reyes is in jail she says is somewhat satisfying and she thanked 3 On Your Side
As for Reyes, he remains in jail. He will be there for the next ten days because he was caught driving on a suspended license and did not care of the violation.
He's due back in court later to answer for the charge of contracting without a license.

This week we want to think about travel, and showcase the many great reason's for visiting the USA and Canada. There are so many reasons for you to visit Canada or the United States such as you can visit all the different amusement parks or go sightseeing, you can even do some amazing activities such as kayaking and rafting or hiking; these are great places for family holidays that are extra special. Just a few of the things that you could do in the US include visiting the Statue of Liberty, going to the universal islands of adventure and visiting Alcatraz Island. Then some of the places in Canada you could visit would include La Ronde which is the six flags amusement park, Georgian Bay and the Canadian Rockies. These are great places to go sightseeing and ride all the different rollercoaster's. The best thing is that you'll never be bored because there's so much to do.
You could go to Smoky Mountain Outdoors in the US; this is a mixture of rafting and kayak excursions on the pigeon river during the warm season; although this does rely upon the water flow condition. They have friendly and helpful staff that is very easy to talk to, so you don't have to worry about being nervous. You have the choice of upper or lower pigeon rafting or even upper pigeon extreme. You can even hike and paddle or choose the zip line and rafting combo. You could also visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter especially if you're a big Harry Potter fan, which has some amazing rides in the Islands of Adventure and the Universal Studios Florida. At the Royal Tyrell's museum of paleontology you can view the collection of more than 130,000 fossils. They also have interactive exhibits to make things more fun for younger ones and lots of skeletal models, this means you can see lots of different prehistoric creatures; to make it even better it's very informative and knowledgeable so it's fun and educational. Canada's wonderland is a shocking 330 acre theme park; some of its fantastic rides would have to include flight deck, dragon fire and vortex.
Now there is also the USA ESTA which is part of the visa waiver program. This is valid for 2 years or until your passport runs out. Canada have now started with an electronic travel authorization, the Canada ETA -this is valid 5 years or until your passport runs out and can be used as much as you want whilst it's valid. This is generally improved immediately to avoid any inconvenience. To apply all you need to do is fill in a form online and submit a payment. This then needs to be printed ready for boarding your flight.

A warped fashion sense project
Subjective and non‐universal notions of taste are what form the foundations of his collection, where he juxtaposes aspirations and imitations with luxury fashion ideas of 'generalised good taste'.
I'm interested in where these blurry lines cross, 'a warped fashion sense'. This collection attempts to hold a mirror to changes in an increasingly image obsessed society, charting an exaggerated self‐awareness in modern expressions of straight masculinity – those previously aligned to clichéd stereotypes of gay men's dress and femininity. This collection is working with pastiches of archetypal garments and menswear genres, referencing a feminised cut, detail, fabrication and body reveal.

Updated 4/26/2012 - 10:17am MT: Microsoft responded to this story by providing the following statements: "We haven't announced plans for TechEd 2013." and "We look forward to a great show next June [2013] in New Orleans."
Another MMS is in the rear-view mirror, and by most accounts it was a success. Microsoft Corporate Vice President Brad Anderson announced during one of his keynotes that the show was completely sold out, with more than 5300 IT professionals in attendance. Microsoft also had several significant announcements at the show, including the availability of System Center 2012 and the official name change of Windows Server '8' to Windows Server 2012.
"Community feedback has been good [about MMS 2012]," Rod Trent (@rodtrent), founder of myITforum.com, told me in a post-MMS email interview. "There were definitely some good sessions, but the overall feeling from alumni is that there were less good quality technical sessions available this year. However, it is a big year for Microsoft with the system center announcements. You have to expect it to be a bit more salesy."
Senior Systems Engineer Danny G Guillory Jr (@dquilloryjr) also had a good overall impression of the conference, and singled out the keynotes for praise. "The keynote this year was by far the best keynote I've seen in years...and [show] signage was better also this year than last year," said Guillory. "I really like the book that was included in the backpack, that listed the different sessions. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the TechEd Keynote now...I did enjoy the Meet and Geek by myITforum a lot."
I also asked attendees for their feedback about the show on Twitter. MMS attendee Harold Wong (@haroldwong) suggested that show highlights included some of the parties, keynotes and attendees interaction, but criticized the long check-in lines for attendees on opening day.
One of the hot topics of discussion at the show was MMS 2013, which several vendors I spoke with were surprised to see announced. While none of the vendors I spoke with would go on the record and allow me to print their names and companies with their comments, several said that the decision whether to move ahead with MMS 2013 was made in the weeks leading up to MMS. "There are rumors every year around this, so nothing new," Trent said. "However, I do know that the decision to have MMS 2013 was only made as late as this past weekend [April 14-15]. So, yes, there was a decision to be made."
Other sources I spoke with speculated that Microsoft might locate MMS with TechEd as a cost-saving measure, as many of the same internal teams at Microsoft work on the same conferences. Grouping MMS and TechEd together would also help Microsoft aggregate more IT professionals into a single conference and bolster attendance numbers, a move that might help Microsoft provide a more effective marketing counterpoint to the ever-increasing attendee figures for VMware's VMworld conference, which had more than 19,000 attendees last year.
More information that points to a possible link-up between the two conferences is the timing for MMS 2013, which is slated for June 2013. MMS conferences have historically been held in April or May, while TechEd normally lands in May or June. It's unclear how Microsoft could manage to pull off two large tech conferences in the same month using the same internal PR and event teams, so a co-located conference approach could make sense from a financial and organizational perspective.
"[It's not really a merger], but the rumors I am hearing is [that it will be] a co-located conference," Trent said. "The new Orleans conference center is large enough to host both crowds." Trent also speculates that one of the slides used towards the end of Anderson's keynote on Day Two lacked the words "MMS 2013" and could easily be reused at TechEd 2012 in Orlando next month.
I've reached out to Microsoft for comment on this story, and will update the article if and when Microsoft replies. (Updated 4/26/2012 - See Microsoft statement at top of story.)

Smaller, Nimbler and Excellent Goes Global.
Maybe you need to get out more? We estimate that worldwide there are now at least 400 international law groups and alliances which count law or accounting firms as members. Some cover or focus on regions (e.g. Latin American, Western Europe, Greater Asia); some specialize (IP and IP enforcement); many take on the whole world (remember the goofy term "full service"), with members in as many as 100 different cities worldwide.
Some, of course, are older, better organized and staffed, or more tightly-knit, than than others. Hull McGuire has participated actively in and used two such groups since 1998, including the IBLC, an alliance based in Salzburg, Austria. IBLC has 100 firms (most of them longstanding) and 1500 professionals.
International groups are nothing new. But they grow in number and usefulness as two things occur: (1) technology continues to level the playing field in the competition for the best clients, and (2) higher-end lawyers form boutiques, boutique "clusters", and firms between 5 and 250 (read: smaller) lawyers to service those clients, often at rates comparable to "large-firm" rates.
No matter what billing regime or model is used--hourly, flat or hybrid--the idea is value. The best thing? As firms "unbundle" their best practice areas to the global markets, sophisticated clients are offered the ultimate menu.

Imperial Home Improvement & Sunscreens
Being able to add additional product categories on Kudzu means we increase our ability to reach more ready-to-buy consumers at the very moment they are shopping for what we offer.
Imperial Home Improvement and Sunscreens provides replacement windows and doors, and sunscreens such as awnings, lattice and patio covers designed to work together to make homes more comfortable. John Uptegrove, owner of Imperial Home Improvement and Sunscreens, believes his Kudzu advertising works together with his website and other marketing campaigns to make his business more successful.
When prospects visit our website or see our marketing materials, they also see a link to our Kudzu profile, where they can read our reviews, Uptegrove explained. These reviews have taken on a life of their own, selling our business while we are busy working. It certainly doesnt hurt when you go to a home and are greeted with, Ive read really nice things about you. That makes it much easier to sell our services.
Since Imperial Home Improvement and Sunscreens offers a variety of products, Uptegrove is particularly pleased that Kudzu enables him to list the company in a number of categories.
Being able to add additional product categories on Kudzu means we increase our ability to reach more ready-to-buy consumers at the very moment they are shopping for what we offer, Uptegrove said. We find that we get much higher quality leads from Kudzu than from competitive sites and that they are also more geographically desirable, since I suppose Kudzu users are spending more time choosing companies that are particularly good fits for them. As a result, we go on fewer wild goose chases. This saves us an incredible amount of time and money.

Power supplier Enel said Monday it has signed a share swap deal with merchant bank Mediobanca to buy a further 2.98% of sought-after Spanish electricity company Endesa.
The transaction, announced in an Enel statement, would lift the Italian company's stake to 24.99%, the maximum level permitted without triggering a mandatory bid for the whole of Endesa under Spanish law.
Enel's moves to raise its stake in Endesa has endangered German utility E.On's 41 billion euro ($54.24 billion) takeover bid for the Spanish power company.
Enel's Chief Executive Fulvio Conti has described the move as "friendly," but analysts suggested it was a political move aimed at blocking E.On's bid without any industrial benefit. The Italian and Spanish governments have strongly denied they encouraged Enel to buy a stake in Endesa.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is just a week away from hitting theaters, and while comic book fans hold their breath waiting to see if it'll live up to the hype, they can at least distract themselves with fun side stories like Henry Cavill going completely unnoticed in Times Square while wearing a Superman shirt. Possibly the best and certainly the nerdiest of these diversions is a recent deep dive by The Bitbag into which superhero is richer: Batman or Superman.
Most fans, even the casual ones, would probably assume Batman, aka Bruce Wayne, wins easily because he's a billionaire playboy and Superman, aka Clark Kent, is an alien and a journalist, which they say is a dying profession these days. Not so fast, though — as writer Martin Cruz says, "there's good reason to believe that Superman can give Batman a run for his money"
Not only is Superman invincible, meaning he never has to worry about health insurance or elderly care, but he also has spaceship from the planet Krypton, which could be worth a billion dollars for research purposes alone. Sure, Batman inherited an immensely valuable company and lives in a swanky manor, but there's a lot more to being wealthy than looking wealthy.
The numbers don't lie. Check them out:

By "end of the world" I mean a fully regional open civil war along sectarian lines in all the major countries of the middle east that have populations consisting of more than one homogeneous religious or ethnic group.
What's more, quite likely we (the US) will do nothing to stop it.
I've come to this concussion when I heard that Hezbollah is now in Syria. This has always been a sectarian three way cluster fuck between the Sunni's, the Shiites and the Alloites, with the Kurds and I'm sure a couple more religious and ethnic distinctions thrown in for good measure. Moreover it was always contained in the borders of Syria.
Hezbollah, an Islamic militant group that was formed to basically destroy Isreal is now off in Syria killing other Muslims. Think about that for one second... Remember that the Sunni's have been backing the rebels and have their own militia's as well.
Right now the operative word is plausible deniability. The Iranians are funding the Syrian regime and Hezbollah and the Saudi's are funding the rebels and their own militias. However as this conflict continues to spiral out of control and now with Hezbollah firing rockets from Lebanon... With Iraq now sending in fighters. With sectarian violence again on the rise in Iraq. Jordan collapsing under the onslaught of refugees. Libya is a lawless no mans land. Egypt is still a huge mess. Mali, Sudan, Somalia, if not failed states, right on the verge.
See where I'm going with this? Very quickly we might be looking at all out civil wars in many of these countries. As it is right now in many of these countries car bombs and kidnappings are just a way of life.
As the rest of the world watches the middle east and a large swath of northern Africa tear itself apart, the big question is... What do we do?
We can't occupy every country, and we all know that our track record for picking sides in middle eastern conflicts has almost never worked out. Bombing the living shit out of Libya managed to accomplish what? Exactly.
One viable option as crazy as it sounds... is to do nothing. Let this conflict spiral out of control. Let these dogs tear out each others throats.
There are pros and cons to this.
- They'll be so busy killing each other they'll stop targeting us (I'd hope)
- This will be a roach motel for Islamic extremists. Nutcases go in, they don't come out.
- Quite likely many of these groups will be completely obliterated.
- OPEC would likely be done for.
- Humanitarian, environmental and Human rights disaster
- This conflict will generate more extremists then those killed.
- What groups are left standing will be fanatical, heavily armed and experienced
- Any governments left standing will be so weak they'll be easy prey to these groups
- Disruption of global economy and fuel supply.
- Western governments will be seen as ineffectual.
Obviously doing nothing is bad... but getting involved is just is bad. These people are complete nutcases, on both sides. As time goes on the people in the middle who'll actually want to sit at the table and talk and now be out slaughtering their neighbors is going to become razor thin, then what?

Two longtime veterans of Wine Exchange in Orange, Kyle Meyer and Tristen Beamon, have just opened an online wine shop based in Santa Ana called Best Wines Online.
The two have been working for months to streamline the concept: "We want you to feel as psyched about that next bottle of wine you buy from us as we were when we discovered it. Wine is fun, it's relaxing, its sharing … and it is for drinking."
The website is clean and easy to navigate. First thing you see are the featured wines, which could be anything from a Cambon La Pelouse Haut-Médoc from Bordeaux or Cap de Faugères Côtes de Castillon -- both 2009 and both $19.99 -- to a sweet Alvear Pedro Ximénez Solera sherry (1927) on sale for the same price to a 2010 Robert Craig Zinfandel Howell Mountain for $44.99 described as "arguably the greatest bottle of Zin we've ever tasted."
Next up: "New Arrivals," most of them on sale, just eight so as not to overtax your eyeballs. However, Best Wine Online's entire collection of wines comprises some 600 labels with more arriving every day. They're strong on value for the 2009 Bordeaux and also have a sweet cache of reasonably priced older Bordeaux, along with German, Austrian, Spanish and Italian wines.

Now, ISRO vying for low-cost Space Tourism
Posted by pinks at 4:49 AM Wednesday, April 14, 2010 Labels: ISRO, Space Tourism
We have mentioned this earlier, last couple of years have been fabulous for India's journey into space. Now, moving further, India Space Research Organization (ISRO) is vying for low-cost Space Tourism.
Yes, if you're bored of those five-star hotel visits or first class luxury flights – you can have a day dream of flying in the space for a tour to the Moon and the Mars, and that too at (relatively) lower cost
Until now, we are well aware of the news of ISRO launching of advanced communications satellite which will put into orbit for the first time by a cryogenic engine developed by its own ISRO scientists. It is slated for launch on April 15 from the space center at Sriharikota.
According to a report, the opportunities in space tourism, until now, had been limited and been an expensive proposition as a part of offer from Russian Space Agency at a price of $20-35 million, out of reach of middle class public. Presently, US, Russia and Japan have started to have a habitat in Mars by 2030. Space tourists usually sign contracts with third parties.
Indian can play an important role in the development of low-cost space tourism based on its affordable space technologies. ISRO was allocated a budget of $1.27 billion for 2009-2010. The trip to Mars is estimated to be of duration of 250 days journey.
With India's success of Chandrayaan-I program at a relatively low-cost, ISRO is more ecstatic about the viability of affordable space tourism theme and that it has already began work with a starting budget of Rs.5000 crore.
Every un-treaded path is attractive and challenging and provides for a nerve of surprise. The journey to the outer world of space is now likely to be more affordable from being very expensive until now to less expensive in the near future.
If you're from the club of those millionaires (no need to be a billionaire), and if your childhood dream, which felt very unlikely then, was to fly in the outer space, possibly you're in to fulfill those dreams in your current life time.

Yes, it's all about little adjustments along the way. That's how truly great products become truly great products. And of course, the process always continues as people have different wants/needs.

KENNETH BRANAGH began his movie-directing career with a classical twist - his "Henry V" was greeted as the best Shakespeare adaptation in ages - and ever since, he's seemed determined to overcome the artsy reputation this earned for him.
Both of his subsequent pictures, "Dead Again" and the new "Peter's Friends," sweat and strain to be modern, breezy, and cool. They manage to be all those things, but there's nothing relaxed or easy-going about them. For all his talent, Mr. Branagh hasn't yet learned something the old Hollywood masters knew well: how to produce the art that conceals art.
"Peter's Friends" gets off to a rambunctious start, with six wacky entertainers camping their way through a zany musical number. We soon meet the performers off-stage and discover who they are - a bunch of creative collegians about to leave their schooldays behind and confront the real world. The movie then zooms into 1992, a decade after their musical farewell to youth and freedom. Life has treated each of them differently, and they've all accepted a weekend invitation to a friend's country estate, wher e they'll share news of the past 10 years.
If this sounds a bit familiar, it's because Branagh isn't the first filmmaker to explore this nostalgic terrain. In many ways, "Peter's Friends" is a British rehash of "The Big Chill," which was itself a rehash of "Return of the Secaucus Seven," which wasn't that great a picture to begin with. In principle, there's nothing wrong with movies about friends cooped up with each other for a few days, as long as the friends are so interesting and involving that we don't mind being cooped up along with them. Th e characters in "Peter's Friends" pass this difficult test for awhile, but eventually I started wishing they'd all go home so I could go home too.
The best thing about "Peter's Friends" is its acting. The word "ensemble" is overused by critics - some reviewers toss it around every time two performers show signs of recognizing each other's presence - but in this case it's fully warranted, since every member of the cast seems fully in sync with all the others, even in scenes where a single character gets most of the dramatic moments and good lines.
The performances are so imaginative that they cover up the rather calculated nature of the screenplay, which strives to please every possible audience by alternating comedy and pathos, vulgarity and refinement, frivolity and seriousness with clockwork regularity. There's so much energy and goodwill in the acting that you can't help enjoying much of "Peter's Friends" while it's actually before your eyes. The moment it's over, though, you realize how craftily it played on your emotions, how carefully it en couraged the responses it wanted you to have. It's a friendly movie, all right, but also an aggressive one that leaves you feeling a bit manipulated at the end.
AMONG the performers, Branagh and his wife Emma Thompson get top honors as (respectively) a Hollywood sitcom writer and a publisher of self-help books who hasn't learned to solve her own problems. Stephen Fry is also fine as the host of the party, a faded aristocrat with a secret that provides the story with its serious climax.
Other cast members include Alphonsia Emmanuel as the most glamorous of the partygoers; Tony Slattery as her giggly boyfriend; Rita Rudner as a lowbrow actress; and Hugh Laurie and Imelda Staunton as a married couple recovering from a terrible family crisis. Applause goes to all, individually and as a group.
Roger Lanser did the good-looking cinematography for "Peter's Friends," and Andrew Marcus contributed the snappy editing. The screenplay is by Ms. Rudner and Martin Bergman.
* The film, which has no rating, contains several scenes involving sexual activity, vulgar language, and other adult situations; part of the story also concerns the current AIDS crisis.

A new study says diabetics should be eating eggs. The study is from Finland.
list for diabetes
It used to be that eggs were NOT recommended for diabetics because:
a. Diabetics are in danger of high cholesterol
b. Eggs are high in dietary cholesterol
Newer research has shown that dietary cholesterol does NOT affect our body cholesterol levels, which are determined by our liver. Hence the recommendation from Finland that it is safe for diabetics to eat eggs.
The Washington Post as a new article which says that diabetes is rising horribly.
type 2
diabetes diet
There are many theories about the causes of the epidemic rise of diabetics type 2.
One is that in the industrialized world, people are increasingly chronically stressed because of recurring financial recessions, television hammering people with ads that insist that you are not really a human if you don't buy this or that piece of garbage, and that quality of life equals how much you earn or own. Consequently people are working two jobs, lying awake at night worrying, eating junkfood like what you get at macdonalds or pizzahut, and well still feeling stressed because you haven't earned enough, bought enough or done enough to satisfy society's demands. In addition stress in itself is known to raise blood sugar levels.
A second is simply to blame it all on laziness, people get home from work and spend the rest of the day until bedtime lying on the couch eating junkfood and watching garbage shows on television.
Whatever the psychological causes of people's state of mind, the fact is that the epidemic rise of diabetes type 2 in America has been proportionate to the rise of obesity in the population, which in many states is becoming the norm rather than the exception. And obesity, put simply, is caused by the old too many calories in too few calories out, equation, no matter what the 'fat is beautiful' crowd might say.
There you have it but not much can do about it as a society. Hopefully some individuals will protest and make healthy choices for themselves.
I would like to add to this discussion that the two most valuable discoveries I made in entire life, lifesavers literally, were the power of activity (walking) immediately after eating and the benefits of limiting carbohydrates to those low on the GI scale. Those two pillars of health allowed me to manage my diabetes without meds or insulin for 16 years. Now in my 17th year I'm on metformin, mostly thanks to a respiratory problem that limits my ability to be active. As for where to find the GI index I have found the Rick Mendosa website as well as books by Rick Gallup to be very helpful. Otherwise there is lots of information out there and available by way of google, just be aware that there is also a lot of bogus information available on the internet, particularly in the area of health, primarily by individuals trying to promote various versions of modern snake oil.
Based both on my personal experience in managing my type 2 diabetes over 17 years, and what I've read online and in articles, nothing better has come up for diabetics wanting to live healthier, than a Mediterranean style diet. That has also been proven with several blind studies looking at outcomes based on cardiovascular disease.
The main foundations of the diet are very modest amounts of red meat, supplemented with fish (preferably saltwater like salmon and sardines) and chicken, lots of fresh vegetables, pasta, olive oil and red wine in moderation. For diabetics there will be added benefits from heeding the glycemic index in order to limit carbs to those least likely to cause dramatic rises in blood sugars. (Examples: Potatoes baked or deep fried are OUT, potatoes, nugget, boiled are ok. White sticky rice is out, Basmati or Uncle Bens converted is ok. White bread and pasta are no nos, whole wheat or preferably whole grain of either is ok.
There's a reason that people living on the shores of the Mediterranean Ocean are generally known to be far healthier than people living in for example the UK or US. It starts with the old adage 'you are what you eat'.

Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 is intended to substantially reduce the emission of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), primarily carbon dioxide. Senate Bill (SB) 375, approved in 2008, is designed to implement a portion of AB 32 by integrating regional decisions on land use planning and transportation investment. This is primarily accomplished by requiring regional Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to develop a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) that:
SB 375 only addresses emission reductions from reductions in VMT for cars and light trucks. Other initiatives under AB 32 deal with improved vehicle fleet fuel economy, lower carbon fuels, and reduced emissions from heavy trucks, transit and non-transportation sources.
Association of Bay Area GovernmentsMetropolitan Transportation Commission
The STA Board adopted a Climate Change Strategy for transportation on February 10, 2010. The strategy begins with current activities being undertaken by STA and its member agencies that reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses. The strategy also includes planning activities to develop further information to guide improved climate strategies, as well as planned but not yet implemented strategies to further reduce Solano's emissions of greenhouse gasses. The STA is currently working with the County of Solano to develop emissions inventories for all Solano County local agencies.

The time's flow is inevitable
The vainities devour our power
Why do we rush about the Earth
Possessed by vain Hopes of changes
Death is inevitable
Fate is invariable
As ever!
It's boring to have, to have
No changes
As ever! Forever!
The time's flow is inevitable
I cannot pause myself
What am I doing? Why?
Which are my aims? Which are my ends?!
I cannot get rid of the loathome fuss
Of this world burdened of the flesh
And I'm doing something again'n again
Knowing no rest! Knowing no rest!
Vainity is our torture, suffer the Pain
The flesh opresses me from day to day
The vainity is our malediction!
Why do we bugger about? Bugger the fuss!
I fuck such a life. I'm bored to death.
Yes! Only Death'll dispel my boredom.
Apparently, I must commit suicide
That it should defeat the hateful monotony
Of my own days!
Apparently, I must commit suicide

The study suggests the enzyme inhibitors make melanoma cells more vulnerable to some anti-tumor drugs.
A paper on the work, led by the University of California-Irvine (UCI), is published in The Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US. While melanoma accounts for only 1 in 50 cases, it causes the most deaths.
Estimates from the National Cancer Institute show that nearly 74,000 Americans will be diagnosed with melanoma and nearly 10,000 will die from the disease in 2015.
Daniele Piomelli, a UCI professor of anatomy and neurobiology and senior author of the new study, says:
"Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of human cancer, with very poor prognosis if not diagnosed at early stages."
Melanoma starts in melanocytes, the skin cells that make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color.
Melanoma cells become more vulnerable to treatment
In their study, Prof. Piomelli and colleagues discovered how an enzyme called acid ceramidase can accelerate the growth of melanoma tumors.
Fast facts about melanoma
- There are nearly 1 million people living with melanoma of the skin in the US
- 98% of patients survive 5 years or more if diagnosed while the cancer is local
- This figure falls to 16% if diagnosis is made after the cancer has spread.
They found the enzyme was highly active in samples of stage 2 melanomas taken from biopsies. This higher activity disrupts a cell-death process called apoptosis, a route through which faulty cells are normally eliminated. Without apoptosis, cancer cells are able to grow and multiply.
In the next stage of the study, the team experimented with molecules that might inhibit the activity of acid ceramidase.
In cell cultures of melanoma, the compounds appeared to make the cancer cells more vulnerable to the effects of some anti-tumor drugs.
The study did not investigate how the enzyme inhibitors work, but the researchers suggest one way could be that they put cancerous cells back on a path that leads to apoptosis.
The team notes that the compounds could be applied in a way that allows healthy skin around the tumor to deal with the cancerous cells and destroy them. This would stop them spreading to the rest of the body.
Prof. Piomelli concludes:
"With further development, we see these inhibitors being incorporated into topical treatments such as creams that can become part of an aggressive melanoma treatment program."
Meanwhile, Medical News Today recently learned how another team of researchers is developing a smart biogel that kills cancer tumors. In lab-based experiments, the team showed how the intelligent biogel could eliminate tumors by delivering a deadly payload of anti-cancer immune cells directly into them.

Technology plays a central role in the modern classroom. But what are the pros and cons of ditching the chalk and going digital? And do we need to go beyond teaching kids how to use software and get them to learn about the nuts and bolts of computer programming itself? We explore the challenges of using technology in the classroom and pick up on the growing international push for children to rediscover the fun of coding.

Compilers of the Oxford English Dictionary have declared that everyone and everything must be defined as gay from now on. According to editor-in-chief Dr Mark Boyle, a team of linguistic experts from universities up and down Britain had studied every field of modern life and failed to find anything that is not gay.
In the early 20th century, the OED defined the word 'gay' as meaning 'happy, carefree, esp. applied to young people, e.g. gay young thing'. Later it came to be applied to homosexual men as an insult, until they adopted it as a badge of honour. In the past decade, however, the number of definitions has grown to the point where it encompasses the entire universe.
'Anyone or anything that is (a) in any way not overtly masculine in appearance, conduct or image, (b) uncool, naff or otherwise falling short of arbitrarily defined and rapidly changing contemporary standards or (c) in any way or for any reason, deemed worthy of derision by anyone under 21 is now gay,' said Boyle. 'Not just ballet, not just cleaning your bedroom, not just reading novels, everything. And I don't mean just a bit poofy either, I mean really, REALLY gay.'
Various individuals and groups, from fundamentalist Christian congregations to al-Qaeda, the RFU and TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, have denounced the OED's stance as ridiculous and have claimed that they and many others like them are not gay at all. However, Boyle said that they are standing firm on its ruling.
'Er – hello? Named Jeremy, exaggerated masculinity, obsessive over-compensation, always hanging out with similarly dressed men … need I say more?' he asked. 'Born again Christians, all clapping along to cheesy music? Rugby? Fifteen beefy men in tight shorts putting their heads between each others' thighs – whoo-hoo. And making a big girly fuss over the contents of a dictionary – that really is SO … well, it is though, isn't it?'

Press Release – Council Formed to Unite North Carolina Farmers
Council Formed to Unite North Carolina Farmers
Local farmers join with The Humane Society of the United States to foster better animal welfare and environmental stewardship
RALEIGH, N.C. (Dec. 20, 2013) – To advance humane and sustainable agricultural practices in North Carolina, The Humane Society of the United States has formed a state agriculture council of family farmers and ranchers who will act as an advisory body. The HSUS's North Carolina Agriculture Council will work to improve the welfare of farm animals, to increase the number of family farmers in North Carolina and advocate for strong rural communities.
The council will pursue market opportunities for farmers and ranchers whose agricultural practices adhere to animal welfare standards, as well as facilitate a dialogue with individual farmers, ranchers and the organizations that represent them. The group will also highlight farmers who are good stewards of their animals and land, and advise The HSUS on issues affecting North Carolina's family farmers.
The HSUS advocates compassionate eating – or the Three Rs: "reducing" or "replacing" consumption of animal products, and "refining" our diets by choosing products from sources that adhere to higher animal welfare standards, including the members of this new ag council who raise pigs, cattle and poultry.
Meet the local farmers who make up our North Carolina Agriculture Council, the fifth in our growing system of state agriculture councils:
Eliza MacLean
Eliza MacLean is the owner/operator of Cane Creek Farm in Snow Camp, N.C., in the heart of Alamance County. Cane Creek is a family-owned farm and practices sustainable agriculture.
MacLean said, "Our animals are never kept in confinement. Sheep and goats are all entirely grass-fed and their feed never has antibiotics or animal byproducts. Healthy animals lead to healthy food for our customers!"
Shelley Proffitt Eagan
Shelley Proffitt Eagan is part owner of Proffitt Family Cattle Co. in Kings Mountain, N.C.
Shelley and her husband moved from Colorado with their two children in 2008. Within a year of their arrival, the farm became the first beef operation in the Carolinas to become USDA-certified organic.
Initially direct-marketing their beef via farmers' markets, restaurants, small grocery stores and an on-farm store, Shelley collaborated with their processor to get certified organic. They currently sell all their beef to Whole Foods Market in Charlotte.
David and Linda Spain
David and Linda Spain are the proud owners of the Spain Farm, a fourth-generation small farm tucked away between the woods and urban growth in Raleigh, N.C.
The Spains take dominion over the land by using stewardship techniques to preserve the farm for the next generation. Their philosophy is to work together with the animals and the food they grow; instead of trying to artificially stimulate them, they make them their partners.
Spain Farm sells to restaurants in the triangle area ranging from eastern North Carolina to the Piedmont.
Jamie Ager
Jamie Ager is a fourth-generation farmer from Fairview, N.C.
He and his family own and operate Hickory Nut Gap Farm, where they raise and market 100 percent grass-fed cattle, pasture-raised pigs, chicken and turkey. On the farm they also have U-pick blueberries, black raspberries, blackberries and apples.
Amanda Carter
Amanda Carter manages the Foothills Pilot Plant in Marion, N.C., in addition to raising pastured pigs and poultry with her family on Spirit Level Farm in Rutherfordton, N.C.
From this AWA-approved, USDA-inspected poultry-slaughter facility, she strives to educate growers, consumers and her staff in welfare-based best practices for small livestock management.
Traci Nachtrab
Traci Nachtrab, along with her husband Calvin, owns Lucky 3 Farm in Louisburg, N.C. They raise 100 percent grass-fed cattle, pastured poultry and pastured pigs on their small family farm.
Traci is an avid animal lover and is passionate about providing safe, clean meats to local consumers. She boldly believes the animals who provide nourishment for us should be honored and treated with the utmost respect during all phases of their lives.

Manchester sold their record signing Angel Di Maria in the summer transfer window and wanted to lure Brazilian playmaker Neymar from Barcelona.
The Samba star himself confirmed (BBC) that he had conversations regarding a move to Old Trafford but there was nothing concrete and he eventually stayed with the Catalan giants.
Now, renowned journalist Guillem Balague has claimed (Sky Sports) that Neymar will be looking to leave the Nou Camp in future to become the best player in the world. Metro claim that he will be considering a move to Manchester United after leaving Barca.
The 23-year-old playmaker has scored 193 goals so far in his club career and without a shadow of a doubt, he is a world class player.
Neymar has got the potential to become the best player in the world but staying with Barcelona may not help that cause because at Barca, Messi is the main man. United must do all to secure his signature as well.
