2 Stolen Van Goghs Recovered,replica rolex oyster perpetual datejust for sale
Anti mafia police in Naples, Italy, have recovered two paintings by Vincent van Gogh that were stolen from a museum in Amsterdam more than a decade ago. They've been missing ever since.

"The paintings have been found!" he said in a statement. "That I would be able to ever pronounce these words is something I had no longer dared to hope for,replica rolex oyster perpetual datejust watch."
The Associated Press reports that the paintings were found during a raid of the Camorra crime clan as part of a crackdown targeting cocaine trafficking. The "priceless" paintings and tens of millions of euros worth of property were seized by police.
The paintings had suffered some damage but appear to be in "relatively good condition," the Van Gogh Museum said.
The paintings were stolen in 2002,used rolex datejust replica.
An alarm went off as soon as the window was broken, but the thieves snagged the paintings and shimmied down a rope to the street before security could reach them.
Police had "no leads" at the time, the Independent reported. Investigators were "baffled" that the burglars evaded infrared systems and cameras to escape without a trace, the BBC said.
The paintings in question aren't among Van Gogh's most famous, but they have huge "art historical" value, the Van Gogh Museum says.
Seascape at Scheveningen, painted in 1882, is an early work and one of only two seascapes that Van Gogh painted while he was in The Hague, the museum says.
Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen is the only painting in the Van Gogh Museum's collection still in its "original stretcher frame," which is covered in splashes of paint that appear to be from Van Gogh cleaning his brush. Van Gogh painted it in 1884 for his mother, and added churchgoers in mourning garb in 1885,replica mens rolex oyster perpetual datejust watch, after his father's death.
"The strong biographical undertones make this a work of great emotional value," the museum said.
It's not clear what will happen to the canvases, but Rger says he hopes they will eventually return to the museum in Amsterdam, after the Italian police investigation ends.

A new pathological system for grading DCIS with improved prediction of local recurrence
A new pathological system for grading DCIS with improved prediction of local recurrence: results from the UKCCCR DCIS trial

Top of pageAbstractBackground: Method: Results: Conclusion: Materials and methods Results Discussion References Figures and TablesBackground: There is no consensus agreement regarding optimal management of locally excised ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or features of greatest assistance in predicting disease behaviour. Cases in the UKCCCR DCIS trial have been histologically reviewed to determine the features of prognostic importance.
Method: A total of 72 of 1694 cases entered into the UKCCCR DCIS trial had full pathological review. In addition, we found little difference in ipsilateral recurrence rates between low and intermediate grade groups. Hazard ratios for low, intermediate, high and the new, very high, grade were 0.42, 0.33, 0.62 and 1.00, respectively, for ipsilateral in situ or invasive recurrence.
Mammographic breast screening facilitates the diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) (Anderson et al, 1991) and the apparent incidence has increased as a result (Baxter et al, 2004). Thus, DCIS comprised 21 of screen detected breast carcinoma in the United Kingdom in 2006 (NHS Breast Screening Programme. Annual Review, 2008). In the early 1990s, three large randomised clinical trials began recruiting with the aim of assessing the safety of breast conserving surgery (BCS) for DCIS and the requirement for subsequent radiotherapy (RT) in women having wide local excision (WLE) for DCIS. The NSABP B 17 (Fisher et al, 1998, 1999b) and EORTC 10853 trials (Julien et al, 2000; Bijker et al, 2001, 2006), as well as the UKCCCR DCIS trial (UK Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research Ductal Carcinoma in situ Working Party, 2003) recruited patients diagnosed with DCIS in the early 1990s and have already presented results comparing complete surgical excision with and without RT. Two of these trials (Fisher et al, 1999a; UK Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research Ductal Carcinoma in situ Working Party, 2003) also addressed the effect of the addition of tamoxifen to complete local excision in the management of DCIS.
The clinical management of patients with DCIS changed during the 1990s, but, despite the large reduction of local recurrence risk from RT after BCS for DCIS, only 57 of women have RT after BCS in the United Kingdom (Dodwell et al, 2007). There is a widespread belief that not all patients with DCIS require RT. However, the search for features that can assist in this clinical decision making process remains unresolved (Silverstein et al, 1996; Sakorafas and Farley, 2003).
Top of pageMaterials and methodsBackground: Method: Results: Conclusion: Materials and methods Results Discussion References Figures and TablesThe UKCCCR DCIS trial was a 2 2 factorial randomised clinical trial comparing complete WLE alone with WLE plus RT to the residual ipsilateral breast tissue. Two further arms consisted of WLE followed by tamoxifen and WLE plus RT and tamoxifen. The dose of tamoxifen was 20 daily taken for 5 years. Patients receiving RT were given supervoltage treatment with opposed tangential fields that included the breast and the axillary tail,fake datejust rolex. A dose of 50 in 25 fractions over 5 weeks was suggested. No boost was recommended.
Patients had unilateral or bilateral DCIS detected through the UK National Health Service Breast Screening Programme, which was considered suitable for BCS. The Australian Zealand Breast Cancer Trials Group also participated in the trial. Exclusion criteria included a diagnosis of atypical ductal hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ or Paget's disease of the nipple. Patients gave witnessed, written or verbal consent for inclusion, and local ethics approval was obtained in all centres recruiting patients.
After randomisation and treatment, patients were followed up as per local protocol. Dates of relapse (ipsilateral or contralateral), diagnosis of new, non breast malignant disease and death (breast cancer related or not) were recorded.
Histological reviewRepresentative material was sought from the surgical excision. Slides were examined by a single breast pathologist (SEP) and a large number of histological features were recorded in a database (see Table 1). Any cases that on review showed histological features, which were not sufficient for the diagnosis of DCIS, or which showed an invasive focus, were reviewed and the diagnosis confirmed by a second pathologist (IOE). For some of these, criteria had to be specifically defined as, after literature and guideline review, it was found that no globally agreed definitions could be applied. All these features had to be present for classification of pure comedo disease in both the traditional sub type categorisation and for DCIS grade.
The original clinical protocol for the UKCCCR DCIS trial required complete excision of DCIS, but no margin width was defined. Review of completeness of excision and margin width is problematic within the auspices of a central pathology view. However, the evaluation of margin status and distance was determined on a case by case basis, taking into account the original histology report, number and orientation of specimens and the histological review, in which the distance (mm) to the nearest margin was measured on the histological sections received using the Vernier scale of the microscope. For the purposes of the present analysis, a distance of 1 or more from the nearest margin was defined as complete excision. Thus,fake rolex oyster datejust, if DCIS was stated to be 1 or more from the surgical margin (or completely excised) in the original report, and this was confirmed on review, excision was deemed complete. Excision was coded as uncertain, when multiple pieces of unorientated tissue were received by the original pathologist or excision was stated as uncertain in original report (and no subsequent surgical procedure undertaken) or there was a discrepancy between the review and original report that could not be explained taking all features into account.
For determination of size of DCIS, the larger of the measurements of maximal dimension from either the original report or review of histological sections was recorded. If there was DCIS in first and any subsequent re excision, or several pieces of tissue were excised bearing DCIS, the measurements were summed (recognising that this would be an approximation and would generally be an overestimate of total size). In some cases, size could not be assessed on review and was not recorded in the original histology report.
The presence and degree of associated chronic inflammation was recorded. This was typically immediately adjacent to the involved ducts spaces and some cases included nodular aggregates of lymphoid cells, with lymphoid follicle formation. In other cases, this was seen as a complete, targetoid, peri ductal population of lymphoid cells. This was assessed in a semi quantitative manner and scored as absent, mild, moderate or marked.
Top of pageResultsBackground: Method: Results: Conclusion: Materials and methods Results Discussion References Figures and TablesTreatment comparison analyses have been presented earlier (UK Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research Ductal Carcinoma in situ Working Party, 2003). Here, we present results from the histological review with the same follow up. Between May 1990 and August 1998, 1701 patients were entered into the trial. Seven were excluded because of protocol violations (earlier malignant disease,value of a rolex oyster perpetual datejust fake, treated by mastectomy, known to have invasive carcinoma) (n patients in total in the trial overall).
The number of slides submitted for pathological review varied (range 0 per case), with some laboratories submitting all slides, whereas others sent one representative slide or block (total number of sections 9649, mean 7.6, median 5 slides per case). On review, 33 patients were found to have earlier undiagnosed invasive carcinoma in the sections submitted (usually small and low grade) and were excluded from analysis. Twenty patients were not proven to have DCIS; in these cases, additional material was sought from the originating laboratory and reviewed, but no DCIS was identified in any of the material sent.
Sections were unavailable, or could not be retrieved, from 300 patients; these were not from any particular unit, coordinating centre or trial arm. the section submitted bore insufficient DCIS for a complete assessment). A total of 1224 (72.3 patients had full data from histological review available on DCIS size, histological grade presence and degree of comedo type necrosis, presence and degree of inflammation and excision status and were included in the present analyses (Table 1). Accurate review of the presence or absence of microinvasion was felt to be too error prone for meaningful analysis; some cases had the original sections submitted for review, but from other cases, new sections had been cut and submitted for re evaluation. Nevertheless, only 16 of the 1224 cases in this series had definite microinvasion and a further 42 had microinvasion in the original histology report. This feature was related to size of DCIS lesion, but not, perhaps surprisingly, to the grade of DCIS (data not shown).
Analysis for treatment arms was repeated, using the sub set of cases with full pathological data from this review, to confirm that the results were not significantly different from the whole group analysis presented earlier (UK Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research Ductal Carcinoma in situ Working Party, 2003).
One hundred and fifty four of the 1224 cases reviewed (12.6 developed recurrence of disease either DCIS or invasive carcinoma in the ipsilateral breast. Ninety nine (64 developed recurrent DCIS and 55 invasive disease, comparable with the results in analysis of the overall trial.
Univariate analyses and distribution of features of DCIS are shown in Table 1. The DCIS was found to be of high cytonuclear grade (National Pathology Co ordinating Group, 2005) in 74.6 of cases (n 18.4 were of intermediate grade and only 7.0 of cases (n were of low cytonuclear grade (n Breakdown by Van Nuys grade (Silverstein et al, 1995) showed that in addition to the 913 patients (as above) with high grade disease (74.6 212 had DCIS, which was non high grade but in which necrosis was present (17.3 and 99 patients had non high grade DCIS without necrosis (8.1 Comedo type necrosis, to a greater or lesser extent, was present in all, but 117 cases (90.4 in this series of screen detected DCIS.
All of the systems of grading of DCIS applied showed a significant association with recurrence of ipsilateral DCIS or invasive disease, as did the predominant growth pattern of the disease. Patients with a solid morphology as the main architectural pattern of DCIS had a 15.2 recurrence rate compared with 14.3 of those with micropapillary DCIS and only 7.3 of those with predominantly cribriform DCIS. The presence or absence of comedo type necrosis and the presence of associated chronic inflammation was also associated with increased risk of recurrence of DCIS or progression to invasive cancer in the ipsilateral breast (Table 1).
Intragrade analysis showed that the pure comedo type cases (n 39.5 fared particularly poorly. This novel classification system showed a strong relationship with development of ipsilateral recurrence (Table 2a), both overall and separately for DCIS and invasive disease (Figures 1, 2 and 3). This new classification system, retained significance across the range of sizes of disease (although numbers in the groups are by necessity smaller).

If teenagers ruled the world, it might resemble Vang Vieng in northern Laos.But although, like Queenstown, it is full of bars and restaurants, instead of playing music, in Vang Vieng most play non stop episodes of "Friends". At one intersection it is possible to hear the distinctive jingle and canned laughter from four different episodes.The other four bars play the "The Family Guy" constantly. It as if only two TV shows were ever invented.Inside these dens of generic hilarity, backpackers can sip on NZ$4 buckets of whiskey and munch a selection of "happy" food. Unlike in the rest of the world, where a "happy meal" includes a plastic toy, in Vang Vieng this food includes an unknown quantity of marijuana, magic mushrooms or even opium.Even with such a variety of drugs and episodes of Friends on offer, the part of town where tourists hang out is deserted during the daylight hours.At this time people are either asleep,rolex oyster perpetual datejust cost fake, or "tubing".Saying you're going "tubing" in Vang Vieng is like claiming that you're going walking when you're really about to head off on a pub crawl.Instead of focussing on the jungle clad peaks, we were staring at people flying through the air into the muddy river, launched by giant swings, slides and flying foxes from a series of tall wooden towers.When not playing on these giant adventure playgrounds, people were dancing in the mud and singing along to blaring party anthems, trying unsuccessfully not to spill there buckets of whiskey. Not that it mattered when they did shots of tequila were free.In this world without consequences,buy rolex oyster perpetual datejust fake, every crazy stunt was encouraged by the crowd and always ended with a happy splash.Although most people had only just met each other, the party seemed full of old friends. For us, after spending a few weeks in steamy cities, the river was a refreshing break and great fun.We had planned to spend only one day in Vang Vieng, then escape to more culturally interesting cities in the north. We were even up the next day, ready at 8am to hop on a bus.But the sun was shining; our new friends were staying in town and the pull of the cool river strong. Sealing our fate we were able to change our tickets until the next day.Losing the battle in our minds was our concern over safety.Life jackets were available from the co operative that runs the operation, but in practice discouraged. When we inquired about them, the man taking our money a Laotian version of Brando in The Godfather looked at us as if we had just asked him to commit murder."Don't worry about it" a couple of young English lads assured us. "Nobody uses them. If you get into trouble someone will jump into the water and sort you out."To people who have grown up protected by numerous safety regulations, this sounded reasonable. If everybody else was doing it, it must be safe.Even taking into account the more relaxed safety standards of the less developed world, we figured it couldn't make good business sense for this organisation which the whole town relies on for revenue to allow unnecessary safety risks.While partying with the crowds of happy revelers for two days, at no point did we feel in danger. Even so, our initial assumptions were quite wrong. It was without a doubt the most irresponsibly organised adventure activity I have ever participated in.Safety measures were not relaxed, they were nonexistent.Although nobody in town talks about it, according to the Lonely Planet, tourists regularly drown on the river.It still came as a shock of course, when while on the river for the second day, the details of a tragedy began to emerge.A German girl we spoke to told us that she was drinking at one of the bars until well after we left. (Although the party was still good, we still managed to leave soon after 5pm,fake rolex oyster perpetual lady datejust, to give ourselves enough time to get off the river before dark.)

Even so, our initial assumptions were quite wrong. It was without a doubt the most irresponsibly organised adventure activity I have ever participated in.Safety measures were not relaxed, they were nonexistent.Although nobody in town talks about it, according to the Lonely Planet, tourists regularly drown on the river.It still came as a shock of course, when while on the river for the second day, the details of a tragedy began to emerge.A German girl we spoke to told us that she was drinking at one of the bars until well after we left. (Although the party was still good, we still managed to leave soon after 5pm,fake rolex oyster perpetual lady datejust, to give ourselves enough time to get off the river before dark.)
A missed opportunity to 'sell' Coalition policies
So Tony Abbott has told members of his frontbench they cannot appear on Q No doubt the producers and the ABC will be devastated. Where was Mr Abbott when some of his media cronies made racist, sexist and/or homophobic remarks? He did not attempt to censor them. Telling his ministers what to do is a form of dictatorship, as well as censorship. It is also a foolish move,fake ladies rolex oyster perpetual datejust, since he is depriving the public of the opportunity of hearing debate on all sides of the political fence.
Q can quite rightly say that it invited government ministers to appear but that they declined or were forced to decline. Given the Coalition's unpopularity with many voters, one would think that any and all attempts to "sell" its policies would be welcomed with open arms. Apparently not. One might also think the Prime Minister does not have much confidence in his frontbench if he denies them the right to speak in certain situations.
Freedom of speech is one of our basic human rights and the rights of a "supposedly" free press forms part of those rights. If Mr Abbott insists on censoring the media, then he had better look beyond the ABC and broaden his "investigation". The Australian public should not have to put up with this level of hypocrisy from its government and its leader. It would be better if the Coalition focused on its policies and stopped fussing over what is a really a minor matter.

The public's right to hear ministers' views
In China,fake oyster perpetual datejust rolex, police have arrested a man who wrote on social media that people had jumped off buildings due to a stock market crash. Australians read this and are rightly concerned over this apparent crackdown on personal freedom of speech.
Now Tony Abbott orders his frontbenchers not to appear on Q He forgets that he is a manager, not a self appointed dictator. He should not determine who appears on television. Part of the population might like to hear what Barnaby Joyce has to say, just as part of the population is looking for modern thinking on gay marriage, not Mr Abbott's personal view.

Government's secret weapon: Bill Shorten
It was understandable that Tony Abbott would ban his second rate frontbench from appearing on Q More often than not, it ends up on the losing side in the battle of ideas, engages in pursuit of discredited policies and is the standard bearer for the defenders of the indefensible.
Censorship by the Prime Minister was inevitable. Limiting exposure of the lack of talent is no easy task. Fortunately for the government, it still has Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, whom it desperately needs, so as not to shorten its tenuous hold on power.

Ban will rebound on the Primer Minister
What happened to free speech? I want my elected representatives to openly and provocatively discuss the issues that matter to the members of Team Australia. Tony Abbott is taking a pugilistic stance against democracy, but ultimately it is he who will end up with the bloody nose. I cannot wait.

Childish behaviour not worthy of our leader
So Tony Abbott has had a tantrum and is taking away his Q bat and ball until we all play by his rules. I would expect such behaviour from a five year old, not our Prime Minister.
David Blair, HealesvilleAusterity policies imposed on Greece over the past five years have reduced Greece's gross domestic product by 25per cent, created unemployment levels of more than 25per cent (60 per cent for under 25s) and led to the emigration ofmany skilled workers. Such policies defy logic.
Three steps need to be taken if Greece is to become capable of contributing to the European Union. First, since its debts will take decades to repay, it makes sense to cancel them. Second, Europe's financial institutions should set aside the imposition of austerity programs. Third, the EU needs to provide development loans at EU interest rates to restore Greece's economy and set it on a path to growth.
The quid pro quo would be requiring Greece to allocate, say, 40per cent of annual growth to a Europe fund to repay this assistance. The irrational policies of recent Greek governments must be set aside if the EU is to produce a win win breakthrough.
In the wake of the Greek referendum, perhaps similar snap referendums in the other European Union democracies could check how much more money their citizens want transferred, no strings attached,oyster rolex perpetual datejust fake, to Greece.

30k of his 'n' hers plastic surgery will earn him a very unlikely comeback
Close up,replica van necklace, David Van Day's face looks as if it has been moulded from the smoothest caramel, with just a few laughter lines to give away the fact he's 56. His skin is taut, his hazel eyes are free from bags and crepey lids, while the hair is the same frosted blond he sported in the Eighties when, as half of the singing duo Dollar, he was a teen pin up.
Back then in his tight,replica clover necklace brand, white satin pants and vests David was very pretty. Prettier perhaps than his band mate and former lover, Thereza Bazar. And boy, did he know it. Indeed, these days, Thereza witheringly refers to her ex singing partner as 'that awful vain man' for whom their hit song, Mirror Mirror, couldn't have been more apt.
'Am I vain? I suppose so,' says David, with a pearly white grin. 'But I don't think I'm vainer than any other performer. People judge a book by its cover, and although it's shallow, that's just the way it is in our business.'
He has, of course, had a little help ironing out those creases. As has his wife of three years, beauty expert and new singing partner Sue Moxley, who, at 50, looks at least ten years younger. Sporting the same Caramac complexion as her husband, Sue has a mane of tumbling blonde hair, plump glossy lips, wide awake eyes and a blindingly white smile.
Theirs is clearly a marriage made in cosmetically enhanced heaven. Side by side, they look disturbingly like life size versions of the Barbie and Ken dolls which they might regard as the ultimate compliment. And they aren't finished yet.
When I arrive at their home in Essex, the loved up Van Days aren't so much gazing into each other's surgically tweaked eyes but into matching his 'n' hers magnifying mirrors.
'They highlight every wrinkle and open pore in so much detail, it's scary but if we look good in these mirrors, we know we'll look OK to the outside world,replica mother of pearl van cleef necklace,' explains Sue, whose make up range, Famous, has just been launched in Tesco.
'David kept stealing my mirror, so I had to get him his own. When we go out, he takes longer to get ready than I do.'
David puts down his mirror for a second to add: 'I don't want to look young I just want to look good for my age.
'Having been a teeny pop idol, you grow old in front of everyone. My rock 'n' roll lifestyle had left me with little bumps and bags which spoilt the canvas.'
Canvas now restored, David could be said to be enjoying a renaissance after lean years during which his first marriage collapsed and he was reduced to selling burgers from a van.
He has re invented himself from pop has been to 'reality TV personality' the highlight of which was a stint in the I'm A Celebrity jungle in 2008. He went on to marry Sue, a former model, in 2010.
As a couple, theirs is a meeting of minds, and they clearly plan to enter old age fighting every last wrinkle. To date, David has had an 8,800 facelift and eyelid lift, a 6,000 hair transplant, and further surgery on his lids and eye bags totalling 3,800.
On their wedding day, David had to wear sunglasses to hide the bruises from his eye surgery. Did this bother his bride? No, not in the slightest. As for Sue, she's had a 5,000 boob job, tooth veneers costing 11,200 and upper and lower eyelid surgery costing 3,600. She's had liposuction on her thighs and spends 540 every few months on Botox and fillers.
Sue says: 'Being attractive does open a lot of doors, and in some ways makes things easier in life.
'The downside is that you become afraid of losing that.'
David, whose chubby cheeked appearance was once cruelly compared with that of a 'boiled hamster', adds: 'It's imperative to be easy on the eye. The problem is that it's a bit like painting one wall in your house. It looks great, but makes the other three look odd.
'The trick is to know when to stop. It's all about maintenance.'
Sue, who sings with David on the cabaret circuit, chips in: 'When I first met David, he'd just had his facelift and looked pretty beaten up and puffy. I didn't imagine in a million years that we'd end up married.
'The fact he'd had a facelift didn't make me think: "Oh, he's really vain". I think there's nothing wrong with surgery for either men or women. If you have the money and go to someone reputable, then why not?
'Right now, we're thinking of having a little jaw work done.'
To give the couple credit, they are not the types to pretend their wrinkle free complexions are the result of good genes and a healthy diet. They couldn't be more upfront, hamming it up with Barbie and Ken poses for one recent magazine shoot.
Indeed, as David talks about what a fantastic 'commodity' they now represent as a couple, one has the distinct impression he would do almost anything to remain in the spotlight and ferret out new career opportunities.
It was,replica van cleef rose gold necklace, he admits, a different story five years ago when, aged 51, he was contemplating semi retirement in Spain, belting out old hits on the cabaret circuit in Benidorm.
David's marriage to former model Maria, mother of his daughters, Olivia, 20, and Amber, 17, had broken up and he'd sold his house in Brighton. He couldn't see much of a future for himself in Britain.
His rock 'n' roll lifestyle he reportedly blew 100,000 on cocaine in his heyday had left its mark and his career had, said the headlines, hit 'Bottom Dollar' when he was reduced to selling fast food in Brighton, earning the nickname 'Burger Van Day'.
At the time, David had been singing with a latter day version of the Eurovision Song Contest winners Bucks Fizz, but he was bored with it all. (Bandmate Bobby G would later call David a 'talentless little s'. David, naturally, puts this down to jealousy.)
So when David and Thereza were offered an extreme makeover on the Living TV show Pop Goes The Bands in 2008, he jumped at the chance to rejuvenate his appearance along with his fading career.

Nahki Wells fired into the top corner and Elias Kachunga nodded in to make it 3 1 before half time, and Lewis Dunk's red card added to Brighton's misery.
Centre back Dunk was sent off for a second yellow card midway through the second half for a lunging challenge on Izzy Brown, having been booked in the first period for a foul on the same player.
Relive Huddersfield's win over BrightonThe Terriers' seventh win in nine league matches keeps them fifth, but they are now just two points behind fourth placed Leeds,replica van cleef and arpels blue necklace, who they play at home on Sunday.
Brighton, knocked out of the FA Cup by non league Lincoln five days earlier, were uncharacteristically poor in defence and conceded three goals in a league match for the first time in almost 12 months.
The outstanding Rajiv van La Parra had already hit the post before full back Smith's attempted cross landed back at his feet, and his subsequent shot flew in at the near post.
Hemed pounced on a poor back header from Huddersfield's Aaron Mooy to level, but that proved to be the only clear chance they created in the entire 90 minutes.
Wells' excellent finish from just inside the box was his 100th goal in English football, and it was the former Bradford forward's shot which goalkeeper David Stockdale palmed into the air for Kachunga to head in Huddersfield's third from close range.
After Dunk's dismissal, the fifth of his career,alhambra necklace replica, there was still time for Australian midfielder Mooy to strike the upright from long range and Stockdale to tip over a powerful attempt from substitute Kasey Palmer.
Huddersfield head coach David Wagner told BBC Radio Leeds:
"It was a good one, maybe one of the best this season. We scored three goals and had chances for more,replica van cleef and arpels black clover necklace, and conceded a sloppy goal which was easy to avoid, but it was very good.
"We are fresh and still very hungry and greedy,replica van cleef & arpels necklace alhambra, even when we are humble and we know we're playing against the best team in the division.
"We gave ourselves no limits, we try our best and today our best was very good."
Brighton manager Chris Hughton told BBC Sussex:
"Every now and again you get a real bad one, and that was a real bad one.
"We were nowhere near the levels you need to play any game in this division, never mind one as good as Huddersfield, and on their own ground too.
"If we put in another performance like this at Brentford on Sunday, we will lose again. We need to be far better.

aged are grumpy because happiness is U
Satisfaction with life starts to drop as early as a person's late 20s and does not begin to recover until well past 50, says Bert van Landeghem, an economist at Maastricht University in Belgium.
While young adults are carefree and full of hope for the future and the over have come to terms with the trials of life, the research indicates that those in the middle feel weighed down by the demands on them.
The study found "a substantial dip in happiness during the middle of people's lives is the equivalent to becoming unemployed or losing a family member". The conclusions come in a study of how people perceive their wellbeing.
Mr van Landeghem, who is 29,alhambra necklace replica, will present his research at the Royal Economic Society annual conference at Royal Holloway, the University of London, this week.
While he said happiness did return with age, he warned that older people did not actually recapture the spirit of their youth. They simply learnt to be satisfied with their lot.
"A U happiness curve does not necessarily imply that a 65 year prefers his own life to the life of a 25 yearold," he said. "Both the 25 year and 65 year might agree that it is nicer to be 25 than to be 65. But the 65 year might nevertheless be more satisfied, as he has learned to be satisfied with what he has."
Studies around the world have shown that happiness tends to dip in midlife, he said,van cleef and arpels alhambra necklace replica, and that this was not just a phenomenon confined to the Western world.
Last month, Lewis Wolpert, emeritus professor of biology at University College London, said happiness could peak as late as 80. In a book called You're Looking Very Well, Prof Wolpert said most people were "averagely happy" in their teens and 20s,necklace van cleef arpels replica, but this declined until early middle age as they attempted to support a family and career.
He added: "From the mid people tend to become ever more cheerful and optimistic, perhaps reaching a maximum in their late 70s or 80s."
An easing of the responsibilities of middle age, maturity and an increased focus on the things we enjoy contributed to the trend, he said.
According to a study by the American National Academy of Sciences, based on a survey of 341,replica cartier clover necklace,000 people, enjoyment of life begins an upward trend in the late 40s and does not peak until 85.
Older people today can benefit from better health and opportunities than previous generations, and research also suggests that our command of language and ability to make decisions increase with age.
Our capacity to concentrate on the parts of life and activities we enjoy, while cutting out things that we dislike, is also said to increase with age.
Meanwhile, the ageing population means an increasing number of middle adults are caught between the responsibilities of raising their children and looking after their elderly parents.

3 New Options for Karaoke Glory
Much of the joy in karaoke has to do with standing up in front of strangers and baring your soul, vocally speaking. There's nowhere to hide, when it's just you, the backing track, and some words on a screen.
But if you're seeking a little less of that joy,van cleef and arpels replica necklace, from a public embarrassment perspective and because today's technology lets us do stuff in the home that used to require expensive, public installations (see: movie theaters) it's now possible to do karaoke within the home without making a big deal of it.
For years, you've been able to buy a dedicated consumer karaoke machine. But what are you, some sort of karaoke freak? Shouldn't you be practicing your scales or putting your name on a list of paper somewhere instead of hosting an intimate gathering at your home?
For the casual karaoke positive person, a dedicated machine is overkill, not to mention needlessly expensive. with words on a screen and a backing track).
Plenty of karaoke apps exist; for this list, we focused those that stand out from the pack for whatever reason:
Billed as a Bluetooth speaker for playing music from all of your devices wirelessly,van cleef flower fake necklace, The Singing Machine Home does justice to its name with an extra feature that goes beyond what you'll find with Jambox and its ilk: a karaoke feature borrowed from its extensive experience creating standalone karaoke machines.
So it's first a Bluetooth speaker (that looks pretty cool, if you like shiny stuff) and second it will have a secret power unguessed at by your guests until you reveal its secondary purpose, as a fully fledged, 8,000 song karaoke machine. Its secret is safe until you decide it's karaoke time.
Plenty of apps offer karaoke functionality,van cleef necklace knock off alhambra, but Karaoke Anywhere purports to be "the world's first and only" one with a streaming library of 10K songs (if you subscribe for $10 per month), or any of 40,000 songs if you buy them individually, once you exhaust the freely included options. Plus, it lets you import karaoke files from elsewhere (MP3+G).
You can plug your iOS device into your television if you buy adapter cables for that from Apple,vca replica necklace, but a better option: AirPlay mirroring and an Apple TV.
Karaoke Anywhere is not exactly new, but the latest version, released a couple of weeks ago, adds more free music. Thelite version is free, although unlocking songs can be expensive (in other words, if you're going to use it a lot, go for the subscription). with the original vocals removed), and are up for more of a singalong or if you just plain like lyrics on your television as a fun diversion or conversation piece musiXmatch offers an interesting option. Just use its new iOS app to play any song, and chances are, musiXmatch will have the lyrics for that song. Mirror the app to your television, assuming you have an Apple TV, and bang, the karaoke style lyrics will show up on the screen.
Again, musiXmatch's option doesn't have karaoke versions, so you will hear lyrics. The advantage of this approach: It'll let you sing along with music outside of the typical karaoke catalog ("Don't Stop Believin'" and so on), and if you have Apple TV, it'll only cost you $5 per year, as it comes free with the subscription version of musiXmatch.

action president
First, President Bush billed taxpayers for a campaign photo op of himself swaggering across the deck of an aircraft carrier as if he were Will Smith after vanquishing the alien foe in Day. Now, history repeats itself as farce squared coming Sept. 15, a tiny Bush action figure dressed in a naval flight uniform to commemorate the original pseudo event.
Little Bush is being billed as an military figure in Blue Box toy company line of Force aviators. soldiers as the war drags on in Iraq, free floating fear persists, and we may still be too terrified to laugh. sudden stature was based entirely on mass terror, Miller said. what had gone down, people were reluctant,van cleef & arpels knock off necklace, understandably,van cleef arpels replica necklace, even to question his policies, much less laugh at him.
For a time, the possibility of terror on American soil immunized Bush almost completely against serious satire. For months, much of the sharpest humor hit foreign targets cracks about Osama or Saddam while the president was treated to gentle one liners about his verbal challenges. When a nation is dominated by fear, the national sense of humor suffers.
But over the past two years the comedy climate has changed. Alongside fear, satire is selling, particularly the edgier stuff geared to liberal audiences. Miller points to books like Michael Moore White Men as well as his own Dyslexicon and off Broadway show You With Me? To this list add Al Franken and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, which soared to No.
Liberals yearn for something or someone with the guts to stand up to the executive branch, if only satirically. But the psychic demand for sharp edged wit is tempered by terror and pragmatism, according to Charlie Baker, who served as the field director for Michael Dukakis 1988 presidential campaign. you take the partisanship out of it, most people want the president to succeed. If you satirize him, you risk making fun of that, Baker explained. wants things not to work out.
Baker adds that the old Republican scare tactic you criticize the president, you being disloyal contributes to a climate of fear that stifles send ups.
Despite comedians better efforts then, as Baker implies, when it comes to humor the nation has progressed from completely terrorized to deeply ambivalent, while the tension between fear and satire continues to vex political strategists. Fear is still a limiting factor.
What strikes people as funny is also divided along partisan lines. Baker speculated that as many people will buy the Bush action figure as a gag gift as will buy it to show their support for the president.
For their part, the toymakers over at Blue Box claim no political or humorous intent in commemorating the president campaign stunt with an action figure: don condemn or condone the Bush administration, insists publicist Lauri Aibel.
They advertise the Bush doll as a 12 inch, 1:6 scale model that features a head sculpt, fully detailed cloth flight suit, helmet with oxygen mask, survival vest, g pants, parachute harness and much more. Priced at $39.95, the doll is aimed at collectors ages 14 and up who are interested in history, military memorabilia and toy action figures. No mention of satire in this ad copy.
According to Aibel, George W. Bush is the first president to become a Blue Box elite action figure. are replicating that moment in history on May 1 when George W. Bush became a military figure,van cleef copy flower necklace, she said. In other words, the fact that George W. Bush donned military costume is itself a historic event, worthy of being in doll form.
Mark Katz, who wrote jokes for Dukakis during the 1988 campaign and went on to work for both Bill Clinton and Al Gore, raises the relevant historical question: any other president dressed up in a military uniform? I mean, while they were in office? I think this may be the first time ever.
The answer, apparently, is not since 1794, when George Washington donned his old uniform and personally led troops into Pennsylvania against the Whiskey Rebellion. president [Jackson, Grant, Eisenhower] would ever have donned war gear while holding that civilian office. Bush who never served did so. During Vietnam, Bush did manage to secure a coveted place in the Texas National Guard. Critics claim that even there young Bush neglected his responsibilities the year before he started at Harvard Business School in 1973.
The image is hilarious to a point: A doll is cast to celebrate a president for dressing up like some third world despot. But the larger implications are more chilling: A president dons military garb while in office to whip up popular support for a war he sold through trumped up evidence.
There are historical parallels for finding humor in this type of presidential campaign stunt, though imperfect ones. In the course of the 1988 campaign, for instance, Republicans relentlessly satirized Dukakis appearance in a tank, comparing him to Snoopy, Charles Schulz cartoon dog. Even though Dukakis had served his country in the Korean War, as Katz recalled, became the enduring visual thought from the campaign.
But unlike Bush, Dukakis was a candidate, rather than the incumbent whose policies were determining the fate of a shifting world. And the Cold War nuclear threat, compared to terrorism, often seemed an abstract and almost theoretical concern.
Baker also points out that the Republican handlers today carefully avoid Dukakis mistakes. The image of the candidate helmeted head bobbling around in a tank diminished rather than enhanced his reputation. broke two major political rules. Never let a political figure wear a hat. And don ever make him look little. You notice the Bush handlers make a major effort never to let him appear tiny.
Though Bush is never allowed to appear tiny,van cleef necklace fake wholesale, the issue about whether he seemed larger than life beneath his flight suit gave comedians a new angle. Night Live wondered if the president had stuffed a sock down the front of the jumpsuit. Katrina vanden Heuvel at the Nation picked up this thread in a piece poking fun at conservative Lisa Schiffren, who had salivated over the president appearance in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece. Subtext: Bush is too cocky to be an effective leader.
Whether a satirical image of Bush playing dress up in a flight suit plays a role in the upcoming election and the Republicans will insist we take the photo op seriously remains to be seen. But Katz, who is finishing a new book, and Me: A Real Life Political Comedy, believes something new (and funny) will come along to define the Bush presidency. original comic premise of Bush has come and gone, he said. next wave of humor will be about his confidence. He comes across as more confident than he should be. Bush is the kind of guy who scored 100 on his IQ test and thought he got a perfect score.
If history is any guide, there is evidence that we can still laugh at a sitting president for being inept even in moments of national crisis. The receptiveness to serious humor increases as elections draw near, and our fears abate as the possibility of replacing the president becomes palpable.
Consider the comic metaphor that contributed to Ronald Reagan landslide victory over incumbent Jimmy Carter in 1980, even though the president was struggling to resolve a national crisis centered on an oil rich country in the Middle East. Carter was paddling a canoe on a pond near Plains, Ga., when an angry looking bunny charged the boat. He fended it off with a canoe paddle. In the campaign, the image of a president being attacked by a rabbit stuck, tapping into the popular view that he was unable to deal effectively with the Iranian hostage crisis.
As November 2004 draws closer, more uncompromising criticism becomes possible, and with it, less compromised hilarity. And perhaps when Americans have the opportunity to hold the little Bush action figure in their hands during an election year the experience will trigger some serious giggling just the sort of prop comedians have been searching for to help this country fully recover its sense of humor.
