£14billion could finaice the Police, hospitals and pay for thieving druggies and rapists to serve time for a few years. Put our street lights back on etc.etc. But then bombing Lybia etc. at £300,000 minium per bomb, and dropping them like confetti ... Could pay for a relisimn school for the public school #Boo -Hoo huray Henry's' to be educated regard the vast majority of citizens... namely the workers that keep them in the luxious surroundings they expect...!

Print out & place in your car they say. 5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.) There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it: FIRST (Emergency) The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out. SECOND (Locked Keys in Car) Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!' THIRD (Hidden Battery Power) Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time. FOURTH (How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?) To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones. And Finally.... FIFTH (Free Directory Service for Cells) Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE411 (800) FREE411 or (800) 373-3411 (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now. This is sponsored by McDonalds. This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.

Well done Ted. i fetched on today from a non fancier. Had phone number on it. Phoned the owners and told them to phone the finder and thank them.

Nothing new there then!

http://sorisomail.com/email/16993/exibicao-de-banda-militar--um-espectaculo-imperdivel.html This 8 1/2 min. show is worth the watch, very impressive. This is "RiverDance" with boots and rifles! I can't remember ever seeing a display of precision to beat this!! All the precision drill is being performed on ICE!! Those are US made Garand M-1 rifles (WWII), and they are heavy weapons (9 POUNDS EACH). When that one fellow goes on his own - YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A RIFLE SPUN THAT FAST! Unbelievable!!! This is precision. Gets better as it goes on! Enjoy

Jim, I agree entirely with your views and sentiments. But over 90% would no more follow up, let alone indulge in helping them selves LET alone others, especially their fancy, than fly in the air.Sadly this has been, and is, proven many times over every year. MOST saying the common cop out clause of 'I would... but other wouldn't so it is a waste of time'.

Very True I.B. Why one can only in reality set a stool out to treat the birds to repell attacks from individual b.o.p. /Falcon / hawks etc.

What! less than 5% would actually get of their their' butts I fear. Even with enticement of 10% discount on ALL pigeon supplies and Feeds,they begroaned and wouldn't even send an Email. Beside - believe it believe it not, so -called fanciers will actually smother any effort from within the ranks. Fear of upsetting the RSPB is also very much rampant! So a few will get of butts, some sensible one will treat birds as they should be treated, whilst the others will 'Boo - Hoo' and belittle any and every effort. More sadly the vast majority will sit by and await the knight in shiney white armour to do it for them!

In answer to Diclofenac Gordon Chalmbers replied on the Alberta Classic site fings regards Colourand elimination if possible. Some may fing it a bit long.... ............................................................... Diclofenac is the operative ingredient in Voltaren, a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis in humans. It doesn't affect humans the same as it affects vultures in which severe kidney damage leads to death. Gord. A research study a few years ago showed that one type of plumage known as the wild variant, described by the researchers as blue-gray, has a white (not pale gray) rump patch between the base of the tail and the lower back, and that all other types of plumage lack this white patch. This study was designed to determine whether the wild variant with the white patch might provide an advantage compared with other types of plumage during the spectacular high-speed attacks by peregrine falcons. The study was conducted during a seven-year period on flocks of feral pigeons during which 1,485 attacks by five adult peregrines, plus 309 attacks when three of these falcons were juveniles, were recorded. To determine the natural distribution of the various types of plumage in the population of feral pigeons in the study area, the researchers first trapped and banded 5,235 of these birds. About 22-23% were the wild variant type (described as gray [standard blue bar?] with a white rump patch), 20% were blue bar (described as gray without a white rump patch), 32-33% were blue check, 10% were red, just under 10% were splash and about 2-3% were white. The study showed that mature falcons selected and attacked pigeons with types of plumage in the same relative proportion that they occurred naturally - except for pigeons of the wild variant type with the white rump patch. Adult falcons captured more pigeons without the white rump patch and many fewer pigeons with this patch. Adult falcons captured more pigeons without the white rump patch and many fewer pigeons with this patch. However, young falcons attacked all plumage types in proportion to their occurrence in the population. To confirm the survival advantage of the white rump patch, the researchers captured 756 wild type and blue barred pigeons and switched the feathers on their rump patches. These birds were later released, and predation on the group by three adult peregrines was monitored. The results showed that the wild variant with no white rump patch now suffered predation at the same rate as normal blue bars. As expected, the blue bars with the newly attached white rump patch now had rates of predation as low as those of normal wild variant pigeons. This experiment showed clearly that the white rump patch conferred greater survivability for feral pigeons during attacks by peregrines. It seems that all feral pigeons perform the same evasive roll during an attack by falcons. During an attack, feral pigeons begin this avoidance behaviour by dipping one wing, rotating rapidly and rolling out of the line of attack. The researchers commented that the white patch might have a protective function by disguising the beginning of the evasive roll by the contrasting white patch and gray wings and body. The suggestion is that the brain of a falcon that is focused on an obvious target centered on the roll might not detect the dodging behaviour begun by the gray wings that blend with the landscape as the predator closes in from behind. In short, falcons are primed to concentrate on the obvious feature-- the white patch -- and fail to notice the pigeon starting to roll away and escape. As an anti-predator strategy, the use of contrasting patterns of body surfaces is widespread in nature. For example, fish and shore birds that are attacked by predators also alternately display their dark upper and lighter lower surfaces to confuse predators. For fanciers for whom predation by falcons is a major problem, a concerted effort to attempt the selection of racing pigeons with the white rump patch – not the very light gray patch seen in many blue bars - would seem to be a practical but long-term approach to reduce by quite a margin, but not completely eliminate, the chances of predation by lightning swift falcons. Gord. A realistic answer too I believe in how colour breeding wouldn't be of much use in our lifetime. But at least we can treat our birds with Diclofenac and know that won't have to die needlessly ....

Say no more. Too many spout that late breds mean 'Heavy losses' and are worst than early bred. That of course is a myth. They bred umpteen youngster to combat the high losses from their first two rounds nigh Every year!

Have 8, and hope to get another round. Make 20. Will leave hanging around open hole with odd chuck. See how they shape and what promise they show next season as to wether just a couple of 100 -150 races, and take it from there.

Best thing for any loft. Can be a patient game grated. Late Jube bred birds flew 470 miles and set First in September. A september bred won the Scottish averages on her own next year... Best birds bred in the purple of weather and feeds... Left to sit around the loft, the odd toss on warm fine days. One or two 100, ot 150 mile races first year and watch them go the next season. Folks say rot like 'Heavy losses' but are definately not as heavy as January - February youngsters that get lost!

Have random tests, and Manny has always passed them, others haven't. Like the wieght being done the day before... they put on pounds by the time of the fight, 8 - 9 average, but of course depends on the size. I , personally, think that the old way of wieghing in the noon / morning of the fight better and more fair, but it's be passed and done for a few years now. Yes every one should be tested prior regardless. Remember well the time Ben Johnson was disqualieied in the olympics... Carl Lewis and Linford also failed theirs, but were promoted???? Carl Lewis FAILED on at least three occasions but was never disquailified or censored etc. like a few more Interesting if one googles it.

Oh yeah, I agree entirely there JAM, but was referring to whom, and when he'll fight. Certainly loves the money and prestige. Think the thought of losing is a bigger burden after every fight, and hence will pick and choose his fodder .. but can get suprised and caught just the same, but will reduce the chances galore when feasible. Moans about Manny not taking a Drug test, though there has never been any reason to suspect, indeed has past them... THEN fights Mosely who has failed tests twice...

Subject: Alzheimer's -- This one is TERRIFIC! - not Alz, but the article The idea that Alzheimer's is entirely genetic and unpreventable is perhaps the greatest misconception about the disease," says Gary Small, M.D., director of the UCLA Center on Aging. Researchers now know that Alzheimer's, like heart disease and cancer, develops over decades and can be influenced by lifestyle factors including cholesterol, blood pressure, obesity, depression, education, nutrition, sleep and mental, physical and social activity. The big news: Mountains of research reveals that simple things you do every day might cut your odds of losing your mind to Alzheimer's. In search of scientific ways to delay and outlive Alzheimer's and other dementias, I tracked down thousands of studies and interviewed dozens of experts. The results in a new book: 100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer's and Age-Related Memory Loss (Little, Brown; $19.99). Here are 10 strategies I found most surprising. 1. Have coffee. In an amazing flip-flop, coffee is the new brain tonic. A large European study showed that drinking three to five cups of coffee a day in midlife cut Alzheimer's risk 65% in late life. University of South Florida researcher Gary Arendash credits caffeine: He says it reduces dementia-causing amyloid in animal brains. Others credit coffee's antioxidants. So drink up, Arendash advises, unless your doctor says you shouldn't. 2. Floss. Oddly, the health of your teeth and gums can help predict dementia. University of Southern California research found that having periodontal disease before age 35 quadrupled the odds of dementia years later. Older people with tooth and gum disease score lower on memory and cognition tests, other studies show. Experts speculate that inflammation in diseased mouths migrates to the brain. 3. Google. Doing an online search can stimulate your aging brain even more than reading a book, says UCLA's Gary Small, who used brain MRIs to prove it. The biggest surprise: Novice Internet surfers, ages 55 to 78, activated key memory and learning centers in the brain after only a week of Web surfing for an hour a day.. 4. Grow new brain cells.. Impossible, scientists used to say. Now it's believed that thousands of brain cells are born daily. The trick is to keep the newborns alive. What works: aerobic exercise (such as a brisk 30-minute walk every day), strenuous mental activity, eating salmon and other fatty fish, and avoiding obesity, chronic stress, sleep deprivation, heavy drinking and vitamin B deficiency. 5. Drink apple juice. Apple juice can push production of the "memory chemical" acetylcholine; that's the way the popular Alzheimer's drug Aricept works, says Thomas Shea, Ph.D., of the University of Massachusetts. He was surprised that old mice given apple juice did better on learning and memory tests than mice that received water. A dose for humans: 16 ounces, or two to three apples a day. 6. Protect your head.. Blows to the head, even mild ones early in life, increase odds of dementia years later. Pro football players have 19 times the typical rate of memory-related diseases. Alzheimer's is four times more common in elderly who suffer a head injury, Columbia University finds. Accidental falls doubled an older person's odds of dementia five years later in another study. Wear seat belts and helmets, fall-proof your house, and don't take risks. 7. Meditate. Brain scans show that people who meditate regularly have less cognitive decline and brain shrinkage - a classic sign of Alzheimer's - as they age. Andrew Newberg of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine says yoga meditation of 12 minutes a day for two months improved blood flow and cognitive functioning in seniors with memory problems. 8. Take D. A "severe deficiency" of vitamin D boosts older Americans' risk of cognitive impairment 394%, an alarming study by England's University of Exeter finds. And most Americans lack vitamin D. Experts recommend a daily dose of 800 IU to 2,000 IU of vitamin D3. 9. Fill your brain. It <http://brain.it/%3E 's called "cognitive reserve." A rich accumulation of life experiences - education, marriage, socializing, a stimulating job, language skills, having a purpose in life, physical activity and mentally demanding leisure activities - makes your brain better able to tolerate plaques and tangles. You can even have significant Alzheimer's pathology and no symptoms of dementia if you have high cognitive reserve, says David Bennett, M.D., of Chicago's Rush University Medical Center. 10. Avoid infection. Astonishing new evidence ties Alzheimer's to cold sores, gastric ulcers, Lyme disease, pneumonia and the flu. Ruth Itzhaki, Ph.D., of the University of Manchester in England estimates the cold-sore herpes simplex virus is incriminated in 60% of Alzheimer's cases. The theory: Infections trigger excessive beta amyloid "gunk" that kills brain cells. Proof is still lacking, but why not avoid common infections and take appropriate vaccines, antibiotics and antiviral agents? What to Drink for Good Memory A great way to keep your aging memory sharp and avoid Alzheimer's is to drink the right stuff. a. Tops: Juice. A glass of any fruit or vegetable juice three times a week slashed Alzheimer's odds 76% in Vanderbilt University research. Especially protective: blueberry, grape and apple juice, say other studies. b. Tea: Only a cup of black or green tea a week cut rates of cognitive decline in older people by 37%, reports the Alzheimer's Association. Only brewed tea works. Skip bottled tea, which is devoid of antioxidants. c. Caffeine beverages. Surprisingly, caffeine fights memory loss and Alzheimer's, suggest dozens of studies. Best sources: coffee (one Alzheimer's researcher drinks five cups a day), tea and chocolate. Beware caffeine if you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, insomnia or anxiety. d. Red wine: If you drink alcohol, a little red wine is most apt to benefit your aging brain. It's high in antioxidants. Limit it to one daily glass for women, two for men. Excessive alcohol, notably binge drinking, brings on Alzheimer's. e. Two to avoid: Sugary soft drinks, especially those sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. They make lab animals dumb. Water with high copper content also can up your odds of Alzheimer's. Use a water filter that removes excess minerals. 5 Ways to Save Your Kids from Alzheimer's now. Alzheimer's isn't just a disease that starts in old age. What happens to your child's brain seems to have a dramatic impact on his or her likelihood of Alzheimer's many decades later. Here are five things you can do now to help save your child from Alzheimer's and memory loss later in life, according to the latest research. 1. Prevent head blows: Insist your child wear a helmet during biking, skating, skiing, baseball, football, hockey, and all contact sports. A major blow as well as tiny repetitive unnoticed concussions can cause damage, leading to memory loss and Alzheimer's years later. 2 Encourage language skills: A teenage girl who is a superior writer is eight times more likely to escape Alzheimer's in late life than a teen with poor linguistic skills. Teaching young children to be fluent in two or more languages makes them less vulnerable to Alzheimer's. 3. Insist your child go to college: Education is a powerful Alzheimer's deterrent. The more years of formal schooling, the lower the odds. Most Alzheimer's prone: teenage drop outs. For each year of education, your risk of dementia drops 11%, says a recent University of Cambridge study. 4. Provide stimulation: Keep your child's brain busy with physical, mental and social activities and novel experiences. All these contribute to a bigger, better functioning brain with more so-called 'cognitive reserve.' High cognitive reserve protects against memory decline and Alzheimer's. 5. Spare the junk food: Lab animals raised on berries, spinach and high omega-3 fish have great memories in old age. Those overfed sugar, especially high fructose in soft drinks, saturated fat and trans fats become overweight and diabetic, with smaller brains and impaired memories as they age, a prelude to Alzheimer's..

May well be right J.A.M. I favour Floyd to win when it seemed to be getting it on. Still do... but am worried that A. Mayweather wants to take no chances losing his unbeaten tag ... and protecting his drawing power to choose his opponents.

He spouted out of turn and upset the powers to be... Long story short they said 'We don't need you, we can make money out of that '**** ***** ... you won't every box!! This fellow showed the heavy weight up so very easily when being used as a sparring partner'! Full stop. Yes he never moved but ate crow piew and made a half decent livin ... whereas he could have been a great champion, and possibly would have been the World Champ' in stead! Now let's take the Witters and Froghs etc. out of the equation... they would have done the same and been just as successful and heralded even more so, and quite rightly so.... But one must feel for them surely. I see Mayweather is fighting again, but avoiding Manny! He is a great! No two ways about that, but is earning millions by not chancing a meeting with Manny ... like he did with Witter. But is he damaging the sport? Apparently no!. Good management? ... Yes because the punters and the sport accepts and moves on.... Every so often they talk of 'Uniting' but is only paper talk because the proof is they'd rather create another 'Title' for a world title than win one held by someone too good for them.

Was a British heavy wieght that was absolurely brilliant. Indeed awesome. Yes a cocky git with a wicked unthinking mouth. H

Same with Calzage, Good management. In America they called him the 'Nearly Man', nearly fought a great in their prime... and there were 6 - 7 at least he avoided. Good luck to him... But to come out and bad mouth Frogh after he'd retired rather than fight him !!!!! Well that is disgusting! Frogh a man that sat by idling his time and waiting and NEVER bad mouthing him, but say when he want to get it on he will... and KNEW he was the better man... to decry and spout one must only assume that it was a guilty conscious! Both Hatton and Calzaghe refused a winner take all, and Witter even saying he'd donate it all to charity! Remember Witter WON the British, commonwealth, European titles, besides the World titles... and ducked no one.

Hatton deserve credit no two ways about that! For guts and wearing his heart on his sleeve. A warrior, and you got what you wanted, a determine and brave fighter giving his all and taking some too A CROWD pleaser to boot. So yes he earnt his money - if it can be said they are worth themoney. Also I am not peeved at his earning or hios management either because they done their job. But to bad mouth and belittle fighters he wouldn't - or more likely his managerment wouldn't allow - get into the ring with is deploreable. At his 'moots' the first thing his says, and stipulates is he won't answer any question regards Witter! Obviouysly with out the media appleasing comments that they won't and can't substatiates, he can't. If Witter had beaten him, as most know he would have, then he would have kissed a few £million good by. Good management, so sad for Witter, who's only fault was he was boring, and spoke truth, which obviously didn't suit. Was a time when the 'Champ' was only too pleased to put things straight. I bet Hatton regrets every morning that he didn't fight witter, and a few others... but snorts some and puts it out of mind for a while.

Good always to see a friend / relative win of course. Well done to you and all those that have clocked thus far. Well done.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk1V64qYy98&feature=related Pretty good eh...

That F. Knowles & Son of Wingham, Canterbury must be one hell of a fancier. His name is so very often in top 10 of so many nationals etc. Always think of him when I see the Lorries with his name. Don't suppose that are related... there again are they? There was a good boxer back in the 60's - 70's called Freddie Knowles. At the time of Bave Banks of Fritz Ldoyd lodge fame, who great rivals.

Well J.A.M. I admire Khans' boxing ability... but he will always have a glass chin. There are countless of such in past as history confirms. You can't strengthen a chin... so yes he will always have to have 'Picked /Chosen opponents. Like many other deserving cases of course, for various reason. Hatton and Calzghe not least on the list. Such boxers as Dia Dower and many more lost a fortune via over stepping their' mark. Where today 'Good Managements' would prevail. - Yes agreed it goes without saying many lost out through management and 'Boxes chasing the 'Big Pay Day. Joe Erskine should have stay a light heavy for instance and 100's more spring to mind. Yet Floyd Patterson went against the good advice and ego / pride made Listen a world champ - which of course he deserved to be.... But, like many more, he certainly wouldn't have been if 'Good Managements' abounded. Nasseem went against 'Good Managements' in Barrera's case. - I actually met him on the plane and said to him that he would beat himself. A good big en will always beat a good little one. - Manny etc. today day are a different ball game. So good luck we say in the money stakes eh! But I always have a sadness in my heart for those, so many, deserving their' chance, but are simply too good for their Own good. Right from the 50's - when 'Percy 'Kid' Lewis' was frozen out - and of course since reading etc. I feel strongly for those deserving, but shunned! So bully for him, and tough on other eh! We hear cry! The problem is further escalated because the 'Management' can earn just as much for themselves and the boxer in doing so... so sad that I fear. Media can build up - knock down or freeze out just whom and what they choose eh! So yes he will always duck and dive and earn money. What their legacy is, well that will be up to the media... But I'd bet that they will often wake in mornings up and think 'What if ...' in regards whom they've ducked, avoided, and more so from the innate and senile, senless excuses some have used. Jack Dempsey must be top of the list in that regards I guess. Like in stating 'Yes! But Junior Witter was so boring...' Not that it would have cost Hatton £30.000,000! Like I say, the flimsy excuses are took up and used by those wishing and supporting ... Buit not realistically thought of in the reality.
