"You hate me don't you?" I said with a pinch of sarcasm.
"Come on, it's just this once," pleaded Rory as the Security Lodge reverberated with the sound of a truck engine pulling up to the window on the right side near the entry barrier. Rory handed the driver a clipboard and yelled over the engine noise, "There you go mate; name, vehicle registration, trailer number and signature."
Rory and I had worked as security guards together for over six years. We had become close and fierce friends during that time. We were both similar in many ways. Neither of us were particularly bright. Both of us were twenty six years old and we were both sci-fi geeks but we could handle ourselves in a fight something we had demonstrated on more than one night out in Newport.
The way our roster worked at the truck depot we had every second Saturday off and we would often go out for a drink, go fishing on his boat or just laze around my flat watching TV. The latter was our plan for this weekend. It was coming up to the end of the month and money was tight until payday the following Monday.
It was on the Tuesday that Rory had dropped a bombshell on our plans to do what was pretty much nothing anyway. Rory's sister, Lucy, was coming to stay with him for the weekend. It was a last minute thing arranged after his parent's house became occupied first by ants from the garden and then by the extermination bloke who had clearly learned his trade from the Russian circus.
The house had become immersed in a tent while the gases were pumped in to kill the invaders. A European health and safety think tank had determined that such gases pumped into a house would need a week to clear thus making Rory's parents and his younger sister homeless for that time. While Rory's mother and father went to stay with his aunty in Bristol, Lucy found herself staying with her brother.
"I can't leave her on her own," pleaded Rory. "Besides we're not doing anything specific anyway so she won't be in the way."
"How old is she now? Fifteen?" I asked fearing having my weekend off ruined by some snotty teenager wanting to watch High School Musical 27 and then singing along with the music word-for-painful-word.
"She's eighteen," replied Rory.
"Really?" I said incredulously. "If she's eighteen then why don't you just let her hit the town?"
"Are you mad?" he shot back in a way that implied I had recommended he throw her to the mercy of a pack of hungry wolves. Then again it is Newport! Rory was notoriously protective of his younger sister. He seemed to refuse to acknowledge the fact that she was growing up and this meant that the two of them were often at each other's throats over boyfriends. It was always a temporary thing however. Despite their disagreements they were quite close. "Come on she's a good laugh. You'll like her, you'll see. She's got our sense of humour."
"Our sense of humour," I repeated before laughing. "That's hardly a trait I'd expect from a young lady. Alright I guess it'll be ok."
So that Saturday I prepared for a night-in with Rory and his sister. As usual my Saturday off began with a lay-in until eleven thirty before jumping in the bath which consisted mostly of another hour's sleep before fifteen minutes worth of actual washing. After breakfast I decided to go out and get some supplies from Abdul's corner shop.
I placed the plastic bags outside the door to my flat so I could reach into my pocket for my keys. As I started to retrieve them I heard the door behind me open. Whenever this door opened I would always take a look. Living across the hall from me was Carol, an energetic thirty four year old divorcee which in my books should a crime punishable by the castration of her former husband for letting her go. She was so much fun and had the energy of a much younger woman having previously been stifled by what was practically a loveless marriage.
Seeing me standing there with my shopping she grinned at me as I fought with my keys that had caught on the inside of my pocket.
"I'm guessing you and Rory are getting hammered tonight?" she asked brushing aside a strand of her dark auburn hair from her face.
"If I can get my bloody keys out…Got 'em!" I growled as I felt a strand of fabric rip in my pocket before my keys were finally freed from their denim prison. "Rory's sister is coming around as well. She's staying with him for a few days."
"Oh!" she laughed. "Lucky her."
"Yep, got a full night planned too. It's the Firefly marathon tonight," I explained to which she again burst into a fit of laughter.
"Ok well have fun," she said as she locked her own door.
"Why don't you come around too?" I asked. "Help even it out."
"Oh I would but I'm more of a trekkie kind of girl," she replied quite sarcastically yet playfully.
"Hey that's fine with me, I'm sure I got some old VHS tapes lying around somewhere," I replied with a smirk right across my face.
She just smiled brilliantly as she said, "See ya."
I watched her walk down the hall towards the stairs. I have always had a thing for Carol and I'm ashamed to say my eyes were probably staring at something they shouldn't have as she was walking away. Once she was gone and with it the thoughts I was having about her a little voice in my head said 'I am a bad man'.
With nothing to do until Rory and Lucy came around I decided to clean up a bit if only to make a good impression on her. I wasn't doing it for any reason other than not wanting to appear a slob. It was as I was stuffing some old car magazines down between my sofa and the wall that my mobile phone started ringing. I looked down and saw that it was Rory calling me.
"Alright mate?" I said after accepting the call and putting the phone to the side of my head.
Rory sighed, "Bad news. I've been called into work. Michael has gone sick again!"
"Aw, and I've gone to so much effort too to make my place presentable," I replied somewhat cynically. "You've got to learn to say no. Tell them it's your night off."
"I know," he huffed. "Anyway I have a favor to ask."
"Do you mind if Lucy still comes over? At least then I know she will be ok."
That didn't seem like a good proposition to me. It was bad enough having her here with Rory but having a total stranger in my flat all night made me dread hours of uncomfortable silence.
"She's eighteen not twelve," I protested. "She'll be alright at your place on her own."
"Yea but the guy next door is drinking in the garden again and it's obvious he is going to kick off with his wife. I'd rather her not be here on her own when that happens. Besides you owe me."
"Oh?" I asked somewhat confused.
"For making me read that fan fiction story, remember?" he explained jokingly. I started to laugh heartily as he continued, "I can't watch Harry Potter ever again without thinking of…"
"Alright, alright," I said finally giving in. "You going to drop her off on your way in?"
"Ok," I said. "See you then."
I was hardly excited about entertaining Lucy for the evening. She didn't really seem the type of person I would get on with after what Rory had told me over the years. For starters she was quite intelligent having recently completed her A-levels with top marks. She was waiting to go off to university in September something that Rory dreaded having heard what students get upto in places like that. To cut a long story short, unlike me and her brother her head was screwed on straight.
Quarter to six in the afternoon and my doorbell rang. I took a deep breath before answering it not knowing what to expect or even how she looked. My imagination took over there. At one point a rather horrific thought popped into my head of Rory in a dress and having long hair. That made me shudder in disgust.
I opened the door and there was Rory. Standing behind him was Lucy. She was hardly what I expected. She was quite petite in her five foot seven stature with long shoulder length blond hair that was shaded to an almost bronze colour. She seemed to hold her head down almost submissively in the presence of her brother who hung over her like a hawk searching for its prey.
Rory made a quick introduction before shooting off for work. He barely put his foot in my flat before he was gone leaving me with Lucy standing in the doorway waiting to be invited in.
"Uh…Please, come in," I said standing aside to let her pass.
She just smiled a polite thank you before stepping inside. As she brushed passed me I couldn't help but be taken aback by her. She was very pretty in the face her features being both delicate and pristine looking like they had never known dirt. She wore a small pink tank top and light blue denim jeans in a look that said 'I'm only visiting my brother's friend'.
"So…" I started rather awkwardly after we had taken a seat. "You're going to university?"
"Yes," she replied forcing me to ask what she was intending to study. "Psychiatry."
"Ah, trying to figure out how your brother works is it?" She grinned again in a polite fashion. "Oh I'm sorry, would you like a drink of anything? Tea, coffee, coke?"
"Coke would be fine please."
I retreated into the kitchen to pour her a glass of coke before returning to the living room to continue this thrilling conversation. As I had expected, the first twenty minutes or so were filled with polite conversation in between extended periods of awkward silence. Several times I wondered if the silence was brought on by me staring or whether it was just me being paranoid. Either way I was on edge for some reason. It wasn't like she was an alien or something.
It's just infatuation , I told myself. Don't get any ideas because you know you would regret it.
I needed to take my mind off it and so I asked her more about her plans now that she had left school.
"Well I've always wanted to go onto university and get a degree in psychiatry," she explained quite formally. "I do actually like the idea of figuring out why people do things."
"I always thought psychiatrists just attributed everything to sex." I couldn't help it. It just blurted out of mouth. The filter I had placed between my brain and my tongue clearly wasn't working. In the micro second it took for her to respond I thought I had crossed some line already. Would Rory kill me just for that? Would she think I was some sort of pervert?
"Pretty much," she giggled.
Phew! She thought it was funny. Her giggling finally broke the ice between us, ice that was made all the more thicker by Rory's rather brief introduction and rapid departure. It seemed the two of us were unsure of each other at first but now we were more relaxed thanks to my uncontrollable mouth. If only my brain was half as quick…
The air itself became thinner in the room as we started talking more casually. Given that they shared the same DNA she was totally different to Rory in everyway. Whereas Rory was quite a closed person for a long time after I met him she seemed very open to me. Strangely, it worked the other way too. I was telling her things I wouldn't normally tell someone I only just met.
The night wore on and we each enjoyed a few drinks but mostly each other's company. The fact that Rory was quite overprotective of her came up several times.
"Don't look at it as a burden," I told her. "It shows he loves you."
She baulked as I said that before she protested in quite a mature way, "I'm not as naïve as he believes me to be and I can take care of myself."
"Really?" I asked. "Let's put it to the test. Get up!" I stood up in front of her and repeated, "Come on get up!"
"Ok," she giggled while somewhat confused.
"Ok, I'm a mugger. Defend yourself."
"What?" she giggled heartily.
I threw myself at her and playfully grabbed her around the waist. I started to pull her across the room, the two of us in a constant fit of hysterics. She laughed so hard she didn't have the strength to fight and instead dragged her feet. Suddenly, I lost my footing and with her in my arms I fell to the floor dragging her down with me. The two of us lay there side by side laughing at one another. She was so much fun and I was glad that Rory wasn't with us otherwise it wouldn't have been anything like this. He would be watching over us like a hawk the whole time and I…
Oh my God! I fancy my best friend's sister!
As I looked over at her I found she was looking back at me and we gave each other a look. Not just any look but that look; the one that recognizes when a spark shoots between two people. Normally when this happens I would make a move but a voice in my head just said it's not worth it. If I did anything about this then it would destroy my friendship with Rory. I didn't want that.
She is beautiful though…No! Stop thinking like that.
"Well," I sighed. "Time for beddy-byes I think."
I got up off the floor before helping her up. She was going to have to sleep on the sofa since I only had the one bedroom. I fetched her a spare blanket and pillows and left her to make her own bed on the sofa.
"Well," I said. "Good night."
I went to shut the living room door, something I haven't done since I had moved in, when it suddenly sprung open again. That was when I remembered the top hinge on the door was loose. It wouldn't shut properly no matter how hard I tried it always leaving a six inch gap.
I considered letting her sleep in my bedroom since that door shut properly but she simply said, "It's ok. It'll be fine."
We bid each other good night and I went to bed my thoughts dominated by the enjoyment of the evening and the possibility of asking her out for a proper date. But how would Rory take it? My mind was busy, too busy to sleep. I just lay there with a world of possibility before me.

Almost everything there is to say about the Ferrari 488 GTB has been said in the multitude of drive tests, reviews and evaluations. Heck, even James May did it. But somehow, Harry Metcalfe always manages to find something intriguing and new to talk about, even when it's about the "entry-level" supercar.
Test driving Ferrari's first turbocharged mid-engine since the F40 must be interesting, especially if you're used to the Italian car manufacturer's naturally aspirated machines that (probably) shatter your eardrums while going up the obscenely high rev limiter, right? Well, Metcalfe sure think so, although he mentions that any downside of forced induction is virtually non-existent in the 488GTB.
Essentially, this stunning machine is nothing more than a 458 Italia with a little madness sprinkled on the side to keep it relevant in the fast-pacing world of motoring. That said, expect the 488GTB to have the same attributes as the outgoing model, and then some – all wrapped in a neat, high-performance package.
So, after establishing – like many others before him – that the turbocharged 488 is just as nice to drive like the old model (or any other Ferrari for that matter), Metcalfe goes into further detail regarding the car's visual and mechanical characteristics.
But you know what; we won't say another word, and let instead Mr. Metcalfe handle the in-depth look of the automobile.

News of the Weird:
I smell publicity stunt.
(I like the way ol' Duane's website makes a virtue out of necessity, stating that he doesn't carry "lethal weapons" without mentioning that it would be a federal rap for him to actually, you know, touch a gun.)

My all-time favorite thing that I ever saw on that skeeve's show was when he and his "crew" were going to hook some tiny little Asian dude...who promptly proceeded to wail the crap out of two of Dog's guys. It was one of those life affirming moments...where you watch an overconfident douchebag with super pepper spray gun get his ass beat by a guy half his size.

When this guy's name is mentioned I always think of two specific words: "lame" and "bogus".
I'm not sure he's even worthy enough to rate "phoney".
All The Best,

I have accidentally found myself in the same room as a TeeWee that was running his program. I watched in morbid fascination until a commercial break allowed me to tear my eyes away from the trainwreck on-screen.
I have no particular desire to repeat the experience.

Doesn't sound like a magic gun, sounds like a revolver. When will the world wake up and realize that only a criminal would want a handgun with limited capacity that doesn't throw brass all over the ground.
Whoa... need to stop that one before someone makes it a talking point.

All I need to know about DtBH is that my defective college roommate, the one who watched Lifetime movies and Nancy Grace and those True Crime shows, thought he was the cat's pajamas. Talk about a lack of depth.
She also watched two hours of M*A*S*H* every night without fail. I still get twitchy when I hear the theme song.

So why would it be a federal rap for this guy to be armed? I couldn't find anything saying that he had ever been convicted of a felony. Charged with one, but not convicted.
Is he a convicted felon, and my weak Google skills have failed me again, or is there some other reason he can't have a firearm?

He was released from prison in 1977. I'm sure he's petitioned the court to restore his constitutional rights.....

"Arrested 18 times for armed robbery, Chapman was sentenced to five years in prison for murder in 1977. He maintains it was his companion who was the killer, but under Texas law he was also convicted of murder. He served two years and was paroled in 1979."

Yes, Duane "Dog" Chapman is a convicted felon. It's been common knowledge ever since the show began, and got another boost when he tried his little Mexican stunt.
His rap sheet shows 18 armed robbery convictions, as well as conspiracy to murder. He was paroled after 18 months in Texas prison for the murder of Jeremy Oliver, circa 1977.
It's all a matter of public record, really.
- 1:44 PM, April 23, 2009
The incident was taped? Cool! Finally a DtBH show that I might want to see.
He has reformed from his bad behavior. Give him credit for that. He also does a job I would not want, and does it well enough to be televised for the entertainment of others.
His hair style is not to my liking, nor is his manner of dress. However, I'd rather watch him try to talk sense into a meth addict he was bringing back to the jail, than see any number of hopeful runway models being judged on their ability to behave idiotically while looking great, or another expose about bigfoot and UFOs.
What rule is that about the internet, where there is a website about anything you can imagine? Cable TV is not much different, just more limited.

I've never watched the show, so I wouldn't have known from that.
I also love how quickly Tam reinforced just how weak my Google skills are. It's bad enough that, if my ex-wife saw Google on my screen for more than 5 minutes, she'd just ask what I was looking for. It's amazing how I can pick every combination of words for a search except for the useful combinations.

I've watched the show in about the same fashion as you have, Tam. It gives me enormous tired head.
I love how these people are supposed to be performing undercover stakeouts, in big, recognizable SUVs, wearing motorcycle chic outfits and enormous poofy blond boufants. Righhhht. Not cospicuous, there.

text: Mahmood Al Zarooni has a very strong hand here with both MARINER'S CROSS and Not A Given certain to be fancied on their return after a break. The former is handed the vote as he was disqualified after passing the post first on his introduction at Newmarket last spring and then ran the useful Noble Mission close in a Listed contest there in May. Not A Given won three times on Dirt in the USA so whether he handles this surface may decide the outcome as he looks well enough handicapped while the stable's third entry, Modern History, is the type to win races here this season. Nordic Truce also won in the USA before transferring to Germany where he's competed at a high level while Belgian Bill will have come on for last week's blow out behind Lily's Angel. Spirit Of Battle ran a cracking race in that latter event but is poorly drawn while Capital Attraction is consistent at this level and deserved last week's success at Jebel Ali. Jardim needed his opening run here last year before running well in better company but Banna Boirche has been racing over further at Dundalk and though having no problems with this trip he may be a few pounds high in the weights.

By Radio.com Staff
The Pineapple Above (Horse Around Rodeo Clown; Muscle to Jimmy Russia) is an album comprised entirely of, yes, you guessed it, ukulele versions of the pop-punk trio's greatest hits.
Crafted by Casey Cole, the Indianapolis-based one-band band known as Blink 182kulele, the 10-track covers album is not only for the ukulele fan; the band's renditions have an island feel, thanks to the synthesized steel drums. Oh, and the vocoder does lend a little Tom DeLonge feel to the vocals.
But it wasn't just classics that were covered for the album. You'll also find an interesting take on Blink's newest little diddy, "Built This Pool" as well as "Olde English 800" by Alkaline Trio, "I'm Not Hungover" by Tumbledown and "I'm An Alcoholic" by Dent May.
"I threw the idea around years ago, just because the name was so cheesy (as was the concept in general), Cole told Radio.com. A Blink-182 fan since high school, Cold explains, "These songs were recorded at a leisurely pace over the past 6 months. I put up a cover of "Bored To Death" the day the band released it, and it got like 10,000 plays over 48 hours, so I figured if people would listen to it, I might as well release an album."
Related: Mark Hoppus Hasn't Spoken with Tom DeLonge in 18 Months
As Casey tells Radio.com, he regularly plays bars in his hometown and says it's only a matter of time before he make more music.
"I'm sure there will be another Blink 182kulele album by the end of the year. I keep playing the same two bars for the same 20 people every month, so I add a new song or two every show in order to keep things fresh. Besides, there are still so many perfect Blink songs to try out (Dammit, Anthem, Miss You, The Rock Show, Stay Together For the Kids…)
Why did Cole choose to cover Blink-182 and not some other band? "In all honesty, probably because nothing else was as punny as Blink 182kulele. Reggae Lamontagne. Sum Orty-FUN. I mean, I looked for others."
The album is available via Bandcamp for download for a name-your-price donation.

INSTÄLLT! Forskarseminarium i socialantropologi - Anthony Pickles

Anthony Pickles, Postdoctoral Fellow, Division of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge and Junior Research Fellow, Trinity College
Transferring the Gift: Transfers and a Micro-Analytical Terminology of Transaction (+ some Gambling)
In the language of the 'gift', of 'exchange', and 'reciprocity', gambling is an aberration. It fits no category well, for the aim is to induce a transfer of wealth to a player without the necessity of obligation and without direct reciprocal valuation. Based on fieldwork in the supposedly gift-centred Papua New Guinea Highlands (which, like most of the rest of the Pacific, once lacked gambling altogether) I try to construct a terminology that includes all kinds of transactions without prior etic privilege. I build transactional forms, viewing them as achievements brought about through the coordination of their component 'transfers', the units of economic value that move. The aim is not to deny reciprocity or obligation, or to impose an itenerant perspective, because I make no assertions about underlying motivations. Instead I aim to foreground the inclusion of the prospecting work that makes up so much of people's efforts to secure obligation or finality, and to analyse the many attempts that fail on an equal footing to those that elicit returns or sever ties. This presentation is the first public testing of this position.
Anthony Pickles conducted long term ethnographic research in Papua New Guinea on gambling, and received his PhD in 2013 from the University of St Andrews. Anthony is currently a Research Fellow at Trinity College Cambridge, and will begin a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship in January 2017, also at Cambridge. He will be investigating the emergence and proliferation of forms of gambling across the Pacific from 1880 until the present, including new fieldwork in Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea.

What's hot: Trout fishing in lower Tampa Bay has picked up. The deeper flats between Pinellas Point and Fort De Soto are holding good numbers, mostly over grass piles in 3 to 6 feet. The best action has been close to the schools that can be seen raining on the surface. The trout are running in the 12- to 20-inch range. It's best to squeeze the barbs of the lure flat so you can release undersized trout without harming them.
Tackle: Ultralight spinning gear in the 6- to 10-pound class will draw more strikes. Leaders should be no more then 20-pound test. Float and jig combinations have been the most productive. Small jigs under a half-inch cork or an artificial shrimp under a 1-inch cork will draw plenty of strikes. Strawberry red and motor oil green are the best jig colors. Artificial shrimp have been working in white and light green.
Tips: When using the float and jig combo, pop the cork hard to create noise and draw the trout. The cork and shrimp rig should be used a lot slower. Drag the cork across the surface and spot. Let the shrimp pull the cork backward until the cork stops moving, then wait a few seconds before repeating. Fish this rig like you would a live shrimp under a cork. Give the trout time to strike the fake shrimp.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Please wait . . .
Mission Statement
To cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The Society's mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its founding in 1949, the Society has invested more than $600 million for research specifically targeting blood cancers.
Would you recommend The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society?
by Laura M. (2010-11-04 12:26:06.0)
I volunteered at a water station operated by this organization during a marathon. It was a very worthwhile experience--and fun! There was plenty of work to keep me busy, but enough volunteers on hand to keep it from getting overwhelming. The people in charge of the event were friendly and genuinely appreciative. I will keep an eye out for future volunteer opportunities with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and will encourage my friends and family to join in with me the next time.
by Deborah F. (2010-07-20 02:32:26.0)
I endorse any organization which works to raise money & awareness to the horrible blood cancer diseases. This is especially true since Leukemia claimed the life of my Brother's wife (and nephew/neice's mother) in only 49 nine days! Leukemia & Lymphoma and the other diseases they fight are devastating and horrifying and need to be abolished!

In partnership with Turkish industry and government, Lockheed Martin has contributed to Turkey's defense capabilities and other government projects such as vessel traffic control, a system that manages some of the world's busiest waterways.
A member of the international F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) team, Turkey worked closely with Lockheed Martin on the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase of the JSF program, enabling Turkey to influence elements of the aircraft's design.
Major programs in Turkey include:
F-16 Fighting Falcons- Through a joint venture with Turkish Aircraft Industries (TAI), Turkey coproduces F-16 Fighting Falcons, manufacturing up to 75 percent of its own F-16 order.
Fixed Wing Sensors - Sniper ATPs and LANTIRN ER navigation pods provide a significant capability upgrade to the Turkish Air Force's F-16 fleet. LANTIRN ER's 3rd generation navigation FLIR and enhanced image processing allow aircrews to go far beyond their current capability, and Sniper ATP provides enhanced target detection and identification, expanding the F-16's ability to conduct non-traditional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations.
Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS)- A long-range guided missile fired from the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), ATACMS was instrumental in the allied success in Operation Desert Storm.
Hellfire II Missile- AGM-114M, an advanced variant of the Hellfire II missiles is deployed on Turkey's S-70B Seahawk rotary wing aircraft.
Vessel Traffic Management Information System (VTMIS)- This Lockheed Martin program manages vessel traffic through the Istanbul and Çanakkle Straits- both among the world's most challenging waterways.

Dennis R. Hoagland Award
This monetary award, established by the Society in 1985 with funds provided by the Monsanto Agricultural Products Company, honors Dr. Dennis R. Hoagland, recipient of the first Hales award, for his outstanding contributions and leadership in plant mineral nutrition. The award, to be made not more frequently than triennially, is for outstanding plant research in support of agriculture.
2015 Winner: Maria Harrison
Maria Harrison has pioneered studies of phosphate acquisition in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses using the model legume Medicago truncatula. In particular, her findings that phosphate transport is linked to maintenance of symbiosis and that plants use classic hormone signaling pathways for regulation of the AM symbiosis have ushered the field of fungal–plant interactions in new directions, and they provide opportunities for the future manipulation of phosphate acquisition in crop species. Maria has identified key gene products required for phosphate transport and uptake, and she has shown that redirected plant protein secretion mechanisms target transporters to symbiotic membranes. Maria has also has developed cell biology resources for in vivo cellular imaging in Medicago that expand research capabilities to further unravel the nutritional function of the AM symbiosis. The Hoagland award is given in recognition of her outstanding contributions to plant mineral nutrition.

The former Russian spy was poisoned on November 1 last year when he met his alleged killer, ex KGB agent Andrei Lugovoi (who has always denied any involvement), and his associate Dmitry Kovtun. The trail was traced back to a teapot that had been laced with polonium-210, from which Litvinenko poured his green tea. The bar was still open when Litvinenko died in hospital 23 days later, but was closed the following day.
The Health Protection Agency gave it the all clear in March and after a £230,000 refurbishment - in which everything was stripped away and all the glasses and crockery disposed of - the bar opened quietly on Monday. Whether they deliberately adopted a sombre style is hard to say. The pine panels lining the small room have been replaced with a rich walnut and the garish carpet has been swapped for more tasteful dark stripes. The only flash of colour is a vase of pink flowers on the black baby grand piano.
The veteran head barman, Norberto Andrade, was back on duty. Andrade, who served Litvinenko's tea, was exposed to the radiation - doctors have said that he, and other staff who were found to have traces of polonium-210, have a slightly higher risk of cancer in the future - but he seemed pleased to be back.
"We have been busy," said one waiter, "but then we always were before."
Predictions that the bar would benefit from its notoriety were being played down yesterday. Whether it will become a popular stop for the morbidly minded to enjoy a White Russian cocktail remains to be seen.

Please Help us....Biological Father was Robert Lockhart from Ohio
I am looking for Biological Lockhart Family members. Father Rodger Nelson Mead was born Rodger Nelson Lockhart in Ohio 1941. I was never told my father was adopted (by his Step-Father Jerald Mead) until he was in his early 60's. His biological Father's name was Robert Lockhart. His birth Mother's first name was Rosemary. It is my understanding that my father searched for Robert for many years with dead-in leads that would leave him disappointed. If anyone knows [knew] of a Robert Lockhart in Ohio that had a son he gave away his parental rights to, Please contact me by email. My father and I would love to know about our biological family and maybe have the opportunity to meet them. blessings to you all....

What is the intended effect of "A Modest Proposal" on the reader?
- print Print
- list Cite
Historically, Swift had tried several times to get the attention of the British Parliament and Irish officials, to make them see that the poverty and overpopulation of Ireland was a huge problem. Since he had tried several times before to get their attention, to no avail, he decided to get their attention by proposing that the children of the poor be sold and eaten. The persona that he uses is misanthropic, but Swift was truly sincere in wanting to help fix the problem for his people. If you define "the reader" as the government officials, then he was trying to get their attention so that they would do something about the problem. Nowadays, people see "A Modest Proposal" as funny and humorous, but we STUDY it to see the very skillful and exact manner with which he states his proposal. We can take from Swift, an example of how to create social change through satire.

Xbox One X Shadow of War shows profound improvements over PS4 Pro
@telboy007 Well having had Pro since last year, on my 50 inch 4K TV at 8 Ft I stopped showing interest in pro enhancements along time ago. If I had a 75 incher than that would be different.
But I think gamers need to find out for themselves if 1440p vs 1800c vs 2160c makes a difference to them and they can easily make it out.
For me, stuff like pop in, draw distance and no 1 = FRAMERATE are king.
I am not buying an X, all I would appreciate is the draw distance, and will wait patiently for a Ryzen console from whoever pumps one out first, as I would rather game at 1440p60 on such games ON CONSOLE. I am not buying any more Jaguar consoles.
If I only had Xb1s then Xb1X would be day 1. Reply 0

Check your friends list, you will find as many people still playing destiny as much as any other game.
So for those players, articles like this are probably fine. If you don't like destiny, why come here to troll about it ?
The main problem with destiny is it has probably a good month worth of content to enjoy but Bungie spreads it over many months too thinly. Lower the grind and there would be less complaints', players will finish stuff quicker, play other games but come back happier. Reply -1

What a load of crap.
I have 1 game that is sub HD (900p watchdogs) and have > 50 games.
So all my games struggle with 1080p do they. Rubbish.
So a dev makes 1 game that struggles with 1080p...is it the hardware or the dev ?
5 GB game and 5 gb patch ? sounds like they are still working on it. Reply +6
So there is 1 enemy on screen, one, uno...and its not open world.
And its running 1080p20 and has frame rate issues with lots of effects that make the image look worse than it should.
I don't get it, what are devs doing - optimising for Nvidia cloth physics or something ?
I bet any competent dev could turn off chromatic rubbish and other useless effects get a good IQ and frame rate if they could be bothered, Reply +4

|Brief Summary
|Postpolio syndrome is a condition that affects many polio survivors years after the acute infection and causes symptoms to increase or new symptoms to develop. Proinflammatory cytokine production within the central nervous system (CNS) indicates an underlying inflammatory process, amenable to immunomodulatory therapy. In this study the investigators sought to confirm that antiinflammatory treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin improves the disease.

7 Park Street, Stow-on-the-Wold (01451 831 700)
Meal for two, including wine and service, £75
If I had wanted to buy an emergency cashmere sweater it would have been a breeze. There are a bunch of places selling those in Stow-on-the-Wold. If I had wanted, say, a contemporary yet unchallenging sculpture of a dog, or a most amusing glass vase or a darling little Asian carpet, I would have been spoilt for choice. Instead, all I wanted was a ballpoint bloody pen, and that is a far tougher proposition. We wandered from interiors shop to art gallery, from secondhand book dealer to jeweller, until finally we found the one place that sold stuff you might actually need.
From this you might assume that I think Stow-on-the-Wold, a market town at the heart of the Cotswolds, faintly ludicrous. You would be wrong. I think it completely and utterly ludicrous, a compendium of everything that is wrong about ersatz, up-itself, self-deluding, arthritic, rural Britain.
In this I am not alone. The week I was there, the new edition of Cotswold Life magazine was on the newsstands. Inside was an interview with one of my (so-called) rivals, who had once used his restaurant column to launch an attack on the town of such vitriol, such unbounded venom - he mentioned wanting to order up suicide bombers - that the locals were soon reaching for their secateurs to do some vigorous pruning in an attempt to keep their tempers in check. If that man had dared visit the town again, they would have... they would have... ooh, they would have given him such a look.
My own disdain has limits, though, for one reason and one reason only: the kind of town where the economy is almost entirely supported by useless shops selling pointless stuff also tends to have a thriving food culture, and so it proves here. There are an unlikely number of good-quality delis for a place so small, overflowing with olives and charcuterie and picture-perfect tarts. There's a serious butcher's shop and a number of well-regarded restaurants, among them the King's Inn, and the Eagle and Child.
The Old Butchers, just down from the main square, is a relatively new addition to the town's selection, and one reason why I would be willing to go there again. The restaurant, while pleasing to look at - white walls and bare brick, low ceilings - is not without its irritations. Why they insisted on playing vintage Robbie Williams at me, at a volume that made my teeth rattle, God only knows. And two quid for a basket of bread, albeit nice stuff from Daylesford Organics, seems opportunistic; they should bury the cost in an extra 25p here or there. But, otherwise, there is a simplicity and honesty to the cooking, by chef Peter Robinson, which is at odds with the artifice and contrivance on display in the rest of the town.
I am always going to like a kitchen that has the enthusiasm to put a salad of grilled ox heart and roquette on the menu. After all the hard work the organ has done in life, it is only right that, in death, it gets a bit of respect, and that's what it receives here. The heart was cut into manageable pieces and was as rich, meaty and tender as a good steak. The restaurant's own duck and pork rillette, while a little loose, had a serious depth of flavour and came with thick-cut toast, cornichons, white-skinned onions and a smear of Dijon mustard.
Mains were equally robust. A long slab of calves' liver, flash-fried but still soft within, came with a tangle of slow-cooked onions and an admirable mash. The cooking of monkfish was also spot on and came with a robust, garlicky salsa verde for me to drag my new potatoes through (though the portion of fish was on the meagre side for £12.50).
We finished with a gypsy tart - crisp pastry with a gooey layer of cooked-down condensed milk (a kind of banoffi pie without the bananas or cream) - and a panna cotta which, in its smooth, light texture, was beyond reproach. It had been dressed with a thimbleful of grappa, which is a new one on me, and the sudden, musky kick of alcohol was a thoroughly efficient foil to the richness of the set cream.
That was pretty much the only innovation on a menu predicated on good ingredients and sensitive cookery. We asked the waiter about the sourcing of those ingredients, most of which come from nearby. He explained that the restaurant had a pig-swapping arrangement with a local farmer, though I couldn't quite work out whether the animals were dead or alive when they were swapped, and didn't want to pry. What consenting adults get up to in their spare time out here is up to them.
We ordered a couple of glasses of Argentinian Merlot from the 10-strong list of house wines, all priced at an admirable £12.50 a bottle, and, so fortified, set out to beat off the cashmere hawkers, trinket touts and antiques pimps, which give Stow-on-the-Wold such a bad name.

So I've ordered several Pokemon cards from various, high-ranked sellers on eBay. I've noticed that some of the Diamond and Pearl cards I purchased might be fake.
They're holographic like typical holographic cards with the shiny circles that have a rainbow spectrum shine, but the shiny circles are scattered all over the front of the card (but they are dimmer than the Pokemon's artwork).
Has anyone seen these before? I got a Leafeon (the one that's shiny--not the one that's holo in the Theme deck) from Majestic Dawn. Luxray from Diamond and Pearl. Gardevoir, Gallade, Flygon, and Jumpluff from Secret Wonders.
I received Gardevoir first, and purchased myself another one from a different seller, and the card I received only had shiny circles in the artwork.
But after receiving these from numerous highly-ranked sellers, are these real? I've tried searching on Google, but I found nothing.
I can't really get a photo of the shiny circles outside the artwork, but here is a scan:

Where should companies draw the line in collecting information about us in their efforts to sell things? For example, should they catalog medical ailments or physical attributes such as obesity? What about religion, race, or sexual orientation?
We live in interesting times because there are no clear guidelines, and laws only limit collection of a few narrow areas of personal data. Marketers must often set the boundaries themselves, yet doing so could lessen their potential business.
Companies often seek to induce customers to volunteer their own information. For example, Publishers Clearing House hosts sweepstakes to win prizes such as $7,000 a week for life and online surveys to earn rewards such as gift cards. For pharmacy offers they may ask if someone has high blood pressure, smokes, suffers from sleep disorder or diabetes. They use the data to sell magazines and other products.
"I personally don't think there is anything taboo if you explicitly explain why you are collecting the data," Mike Zane, senior director of online marketing, told me when I met him last year. "But I wouldn't ask for someone's Social Security number nor do we ask for ailments."
Another publisher, Rodale Inc. tells its nearly five million active subscribers to magazines such as Men's Health and Prevention, that they may make personally identifiable information "available to trusted third parties" for marketing purposes. Rodale sells lists of people interested in sports and the outdoors and can also provide ethnicity, religion and medical ailments such as allergies, arthritis and diabetes.
I thought it would be interesting to reach out to some of Rodale's subscribers to ask them what they thought of appearing on such marketing lists. Rodale decline to allow any such survey.
Perhaps they worry that many people do object to the collection of sensitive data. Privacy experts warn that little details, combined with other information, could end up disadvantaging certain people. Sexual orientation is another category a lot of marketers -- but not all -- avoid, as described in this recent article.
Freudian psychoanalyst Deborah Peel is so concerned about the growing spread of personal medical information that she founded a group seeking to increase public awareness of the issue. "My big concern, the reason I started Patient Privacy Rights, is because I know that with all this data out there it's going to be the greatest source of job discrimination we've ever seen in this country and it's going to start very early with your kid," she says.
Some marketers share such concerns. For example, MK Marsden, senior vice president at data broker Epsilon, says marketers should not compile details about health ailments. People should seek out companies, and not the reverse, when they need certain sensitive information.
"Let's say cancer, for example. Is there some value to people understanding and having access to relevant research and new drugs when they are out searching for that stuff? Yeah," she said. "But I think that's where it's got to be, like you as a pharmaceutical company or you as the cancer center have to be there when they touch you. You don't push at them."
"When we've declared and we are explicit and we've asked for relevant messages of things like that then it is appropriate to push. I think it's a delicate dance that we are learning the lines every single day."
Data brokers and companies collecting personal data say they should not be regulated by the government but should develop industry best practices, even if some in their industry go over the line.
"In any community there will always be some percentage of people who don't have positive intent. We as an industry need to decide what we are going to do about those people," said Rick Erwin, president of data broker
Adds Gary Laben, CEO of data broker KBM Group: "Data should never be used to disadvantage someone."
Terry Jones, the founder and former CEO of travel site Travelocity.com, worries however that the drive to collect ever more personal data will lead to excesses. "We have lots of parts of society where technology gets way ahead of the societal norm and some places I think is inappropriate," he said.
Thus he deliberately puts out some false personal information about himself. "Nowhere on the web does it say where I was born correctly. It says it incorrectly. I made sure of that," he said recently in Chicago. "In terms of any data that I put out, I am very careful. People think I was born here. People think my birth date is something. I deliberately make it wrong."
"So if I put out more wrong that right, maybe I have a better chance. I had my identity stolen once and that was enough. It was stolen in the physical world I am sure but it still screwed me up."

Fashion is in Elisa Bruley's DNA. As a child, she raided her mother's closet and played dress-up. One Halloween, she wore her mom's clothes, jewelry and make-up and went trick-or-treating as "a lady."
A California native, Elisa lived in San Pedro and Harbor City, but recalls spending her formative years at the huge Del Amo Mall. She and her two best friends haunted the hippest stores and dreamed of opening their own shop one day.
"Our initial concept was a boutique called 'Hello, I Love You,' after The Doors song. We would carry cool clothes for both guys and girls."
Elisa also power shopped with her mother. The duo would hit the month-end sales at Robinson's, Bullock's and other upscale stores and if Mrs. Bruley couldn't find what she wanted for the right price, she went home and pulled out her trusty sewing machine.
"My mom was an incredible seamstress. She could examine a dress or suit in a store, then recreate it at home. She sewed for me, too. I had some incredible Easter dresses!," says Elisa. "She was also a great cook and pianist, and she had a knack for making everything look, taste and sound absolutely perfect."
Still, Mrs. Bruley's little darling didn't make a beeline for a fashion career. She studied theatre, dance and art history before pounding the pavement as an actress and ultimately landing an administrative job at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In 1988, she went on to work for an entertainment public relations agency, where her clients included Le Cirque du Soleil, the Pasadena Playhouse and the Los Angeles Festival.
Along the way, she shopped 'til she stopped…to wonder why she had to go all the way to New York City or Beverly Hills to find clothes she liked. Maybe it was time to revisit her teenage dream.
In July 1993, she opened Elisa B. in Old Pasadena. Running a store is an all-encompassing pursuit, but she did find time for romance. In 2005, she married location scout Bob Bonk—and not just because his last name begins with "B." Or because he serves as the unofficial store photographer.
Today, Elisa continues to keep track of trends and look for emerging designers on both coasts. She stays in touch with her customers through Twitter and Facebook. And, of course, the store email list!

U.S. Sen. David Vitter is hosting a town hall meeting in St. Bernard Parish at 9:30 a.m. today. The meeting is in the St. Bernard Parish Council Chambers, 8201 W. Judge Perez Drive, Chalmette.
Parish President Dave Peralta announced the event and said he looks forward to discussing parish issues with the senator.
Vitter most recently helped push forward a long-term renewal of the federally-subsidized National Flood Insurance Program and worked with other local represenatives to assure that at least 80 percent of Clean Water Act fines levied against BP will be given to Gulf states for repairing environmental and economic damage from the massive Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010.
He also was one of many Louisiana officials to critisize the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act, stating in part, ""This is obviously an extremely disappointing ruling, particularly with (Chief Justice John) Roberts so amazingly rewriting the law in order to uphold it."

TAMPA — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take the field en masse for the first time under new coach Lovie Smith today. The occasion is the first of the three minicamps they're allowed to hold as a team with a new head coach.
Teams retaining their head coach from last season are afforded only two minicamps, so this is a chance for the Bucs to catch up on teams that are keeping their offensive and/or defensive schemes intact.
The three-day camp is scheduled to be open to the media in its entirety, so with that in mind, here are five things we'll be keeping an eye on as the offseason workout program moves into its next phase.
LG Carl Nicks
Nicks hasn't been on the field since early last season, when he contracted a MRSA infection on the left foot that's been a problem since shortly after he arrived here in 2012. Despite repeated interview requests, Nicks has not been made available to the media so the mere sight of him would be news all in itself. On the other hand, if Nicks is not on the field, it will be an indication that he may still be a long ways away from contributing to a team that badly needs him to regain the Pro Bowl form he displayed before he left New Orleans for Tampa Bay three years ago.
Right guard
The Bucs let go of long-time starting right guard and offensive team captain Davin Joseph earlier in the offseason, but they haven't done anything of note to replace him. The belief right now is that Jamon Meredith and Oneil Cousins are gearing up to fight it out for the starter's spot, but neither seems like an ideal fit, at least not as the starter. That has many thinking the Bucs will address this spot during the draft. It's possible, though, that the Bucs will try to go with what's already on their roster, so who's lining up at right guard this week will definitely be worth noting.
Mike Glennon
Josh McCown will start this minicamp at the top of the quarterback depth chart, but he's not the long-term answer at the position. Glennon may not be either, but right now he's the closest thing the Bucs have to a quarterback of the future. The thing is, neither Smith nor general manager Jason Licht have said how they really feel about Glennon. They seem to like him all right, but it's hard to know if they consider him an option going forward. How much work Glennon gets and how he performs over the next three days could go a long way toward determining Glennon's future with the team.
Wide receiver
The trade of wide receiver Mike Williams left the Bucs with a gaping hole at a position that was already thin to begin with. We know from listening to Smith that what he craves most of all at the receiver spot is speed, and he has some speed options on the roster in players such as Chris Owusu, Tommy Streeter and Skye Dawson. This is another spot that will probably be addressed in the draft, but who lines up opposite Vincent Jackson on the outside and in the slot should provide an indication of what the new Bucs hierarchy thinks of some of the holdovers it inherited from the last regime.
The offense
The Bucs are doing all they can to keep coordinator Jeff Tedford's offense under wraps. Players have so far refused to provide any details of the scheme, other than to say it will have some up-tempo elements. It's hard to imagine the Bucs revealing much with the media watching but they can't afford to waste the next three days either. Assuming the Bucs use this camp to get their players accustomed to terminology and system basics, we should start to gain an understanding of what kind of attack the Bucs are planning to launch against their opponents this season.

Although it is a decidedly less controversial issue, many people are talking about whether or not have more than one child, especially in this terrible economy.
For actress Kate Beckinsale, however, who is probably not so concerned about money, having more than one child is not in her interest. Kate has a nine-year-old daughter, Lily, who is so well-behaved that Kate thinks she might stop at the magic number of one. Kate also comments that she was an only child so having only one child would suit her just fine. As an only child myself, I was always lonely and looking for someone to play with, so I made every effort to make sure my son would have a sibling. If we're all lucky, he'll have one soon. Is it better to have one or two--or eight!--children? Who can say. I think it's up to the parents and their desires. According to Kate, her little family is "a merry little bunch," so it sounds like she's found the perfect number.

BOULDER — In the 2012-13 season, junior-dominated Denver East was a consensus favorite. Everyone knew it, and no one even bothered to argue. But no one told Eaglecrest, which handled the Angels in the final with a strong dose of comeuppance.
So the Angels returned a year later, a year smarter and a year humbler. And a year better, as they capped the winter sports season Saturday night at the Coors Events Center with a thorough drubbing of previously undefeated Fossil Ridge to claim the Class 5A state basketball title.
It was Denver East's 11th championship in program history, coach Rudy Carey's ninth — he had three with Manual — and the Angels' sixth since 1996.
The Angels finished 24-4, undefeated (19-0) in Colorado and were particularly "focused down the stretch of the season," coach Rudy Carey said.
Carey added that "we had a healthy respect for Fossil Ridge, but these kids delivered. They did what they were supposed to do."
Dominique Collier, the reigning player of the year and the MVP by The Denver Post, who will play his college ball here on the same floor, capped a four-year starting career in style.
"I can't even talk about it right now," a happy Collier said. "I'm just so happy. This feels so good."
Collier was held to two points in the first half but finished with 18 as well as handfuls of assists, steals and drawing the most attention from the Fossil Ridge defense. That enabled Ronnie Harrell, who will play next season at Creighton, to do his all-around thing, as in leading the Angels with 20 points, connecting from outside and helping the rebounding effort that proved decisive. Ultimately, it was only a 31-27 advantage for the Angels, but they did it when it counted most.
Denver East made its move before halftime, took control in the third quarter and won going away. The SaberCats (27-1), who had surprised most followers in the Denver area, were strong all season, Carey said, but the Angels were their usual effective selves on defense and had a title to deliver.
"Our kids came to do what they had to do," Carey said after the Angels won all their playoff games by double digits.
Jevon Griffin added 14 points for the Angels to cap a strong senior season.
Fossil Ridge was led by Alex Semadeni's 15 points. Brandon Bodnar added 12, but the SaberCats shot only 19-of-55 from the field.
"We worked for this all year, and it was all worth it," Collier said.
