"A sure, convenient snooze"
Ridiculously accessible, directly opposite the Larrabee Road exit ramp off the Maine Turnpike: you can't miss it ... The staff were cheerful and willing -- they helped me look for a lost camera ... Clean room, nice bed (3 pillows for a double bed), great rate: plenty to like.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Convenient location"
My mother and I spent two nights with this location during our annual shopping trip. It was very conveniently located and the staff was great. Breakfast was suitable for us. The only negative would be that the property is very run down. Although we found everything to be quite clean (the only questionable thing would be the carpet), most things were […] old and worn. It could definitely use an update. I requested a high, quiet room and they delivered on both counts. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Conviently located near the main highways and easy"
Great easy access to all main roads which ever direction you need to go. The room was clean however the dink and tub drains were a little slow( probably hair in p-traps). Otherwise very satisfied.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"Convenient & affordable"
Stay was good. Impressed with the breakfast room/ buffet. Nice.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Worst beds"
The one side next to the nightstand was a good 3" lower than the other side which was hard as a rock. We were surprised by the lack of ironing board too. The most surprising thing however, was that the maid left the shower head pointing out. Not expecting this, my DH turned the shower on and is sprayed his as well as the whole bathroom as he struggled […] to turn it off. funny indeed, but very messy. Also, the stairs creaked in a way that sounded like someone following you which gave me a fright walking up alone. Staff was friendly though, and the location was perfect.

"Well Located"
Just stayed at the Super 8 for two nights, the hotel is well located, close to shopping and restaurants. The hotel seems to be old, it was a bit dated, however, very quiet, rooms were clean, the beds were not the most comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was good, it included tea, coffee, juice, yogurt, fruit cups, boiled eggs, bread to toast, […] or you could make waffles if you wish. We were only there for two nights, and we spent most of our time out of the hotel shopping, so it met our needs for this short trip. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia

Basic motel. No frills. A little shabby. Needs renovation.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
Very unhappy with our stay at this hotel. For a EXPENSIVE, hotel you would expect a little more. Like when booking for 4 people you get 4 towels, stairs creaked so badly and hallways smelled awful. Shower was terrible, every little spray out of the shower head, what did come out came out as one solid bead. Partying and drinking in the hall way. Had […] to call a number of times to have adults stop running, screaming and banging on doors. Lots of partying and when calling down at 2am we were rudely told they would handle it. Had to sleep with bathroom fan running all night to keep our children from waking. Breakfast is laughable, stale bread and little else. Your made feel unwelcome and not even greeted when walking in for breakfast. At check out we were not even asked how our stay was, no friendly communication at all.

"Carpet Stains,Musty Mold, Pool closed"
Not good. Stains on the hallway carpets every few feet. The room was a combination of mold and perfumery air spray. The bed sheets also had hair on them when you pulled back the duvet. We had to leave the window open the whole time as the AC/Fan blasted a moldy smell into the room as well.The staff was nice, location is good. But they need to tear out […] the carpeting and get their HVAC filters replaced. Hotel is nothing like the photos you see. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive Hotels.com

"Typical SUper 8. Was quiet and clean, overpriced."
About what we expected as were only spending a few hours there until our flight left. However, way overpriced. Was $110 for a typical $40 hotel room. Had to park way away from the place. Passed on the breakfast as the tables were full. They would not recommend a close breakfast place since it was attached to another hotel, although it was well rated […] and had great food.

"Not bad for the price"
We stayed here overnight for a wedding in Portland. It was much cheaper than the options closer to downtown. It's about what you'd expect from a Super 8 for conditions, but it was very clean considering how long ago it looked like it was renovated. The single king room was pretty small, but we were in the room for just the night. Economical and clean, […] not fancy or new. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia

"Convenient location."
The hotel is within 15 minutes of most of the sights. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Close to several cheap dining locations including a Denny's. The hotel, accommodations, location, and facilities were what I expected for the type of hotel and the price. Don't be afraid to stay here if you're on a budget.Recensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia
Hotel is really showing its age. Carpets are worn and threadbare and appear to be from the 1970s. The property does not have an elevator which was very inconvienient since we had a number of heavy bags. We stayed in season and paid through the nose for a barely adequate room. We will not stay again.Recensioni obiettive Hotels.com
"Convenient, decent place to stay."

"Acceptable Hotel, Exit 48 on I95 in Westbrook, ME"
Hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful. We stayed 4 nights in late June. The breakfast area was limited but good.

It did seem to be clean and well maintained.Recensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia

"Excellent value!"
A two-star rating is undeserved for this place, for the most part. Ideally located between downtown and South Portland, this is certainly a great 'bang for minimum buck.' Only real complaint is the condition of the hot tub, which I only incidentally noticed anyway; and if you're just looking for an affordable, comfortable place to crash, who needs a […] hot tub?

The staff was friendly and when improper cleaning methods were being used in the lobby and it was pointed out to the management, they took care of it right away...safety first!

"Not worth the money."
The reason I chose this hotel for two reason. 1. They listed a heated indoor pool and spa(hot tub) and 2. They stated on their web site "Recently Renovated" (2011). The room was very out dated with a plastered textured wall. The sheets on the bed where dirty, the bed was sunk in the middle and worn out. The one set of towels in the room were stained. […] When I turned out the light beside the bed I noticed gum under the edge of the night stand. The remote for the TV did not have a back in it and half the channels did not work. The hot tub was very dirty and foamy when I called the front desk to ask if they could do something about they said replied that it was because guest did not shower before getting into too and there was nothing she could do. I would not recommend this hotel. Continua a leggereRecensioni obiettive degli ospiti Expedia

"Time To Buy All New Beds Now !"
Considering I couldn't sleep due to the beds, I was pretty disappointed. The woman at the front desk tried to accomidate me, she showed me 5 rooms.

A Most Peculiar Cycle Race
Photography by Wig Worland
I'm a cyclist. I wear Lycra (and Sportwool and merino) and, oh yeah, I'm proud of it. Why then, have I just donned running shoes to climb repeatedly up the biggest grassy hill I can find near to my home. Why, a week ago, was I scrambling up (and back down from) two northern mountain summits? Why will I push myself up a third Yorkshire mountain, on foot, tomorrow in training?
The answer, if you haven't guessed, is that the Three Peaks cyclocross race is just six days away. I'm tackling the race for the sixth time. Held in the Yorkshire Dales amid majestic limestone upland scenery, this famous race transports upwards of 400 competitors over the mountain tops of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent. And all, improbably, aboard skinny-tyred cyclocross bikes.
The final run-in to the event billed as 'the world's toughest cyclocross race' is the period that most invites doubt, apprehension and soul searching. Even an experienced 'Peaks racer' cannot afford to take the event lightly as it will viciously expose any weakness in your racing armoury.
On my first attempt, in 2003, the severe gradient on the first off-road climb highlighted an immediate flaw in my relatively casual preparation. I hadn't walked up a mountain in a decade and my calves began to burn unbearably. In the years since that inauspicious debut I've done increasingly more running and climbing of mountains on foot in preparation for race day. The road riding sections between the summits are spent feeding yourself and, where possible, following wheels. The real business in this most English of events takes place on the mountains.
Off-road descending on a cross bike is about seeking out the right lines and executing them as fast as nerves will allow, which usually means at speeds that seem less than wise. It tends to be something you are either good at or less good at. I'm convinced, therefore, that the ascents are the parts of the race that should be worked on and trained for the most. A goodly part of this unique race is spent walking up rocky mountain paths or near vertical grassy slopes with your bike perched on your shoulder.
In 1961, Martin 'Ginger' Garwood, a London plumber, was third in the inaugural race. "We do a bit of riding down there, you know," he remarked afterwards. "But this is different, it's more of an endurance test." When asked if he would return the following year, he replied: "That'll need a bit of thinking about." The Three Peaks, as Ginger realised, is a serious undertaking. It is not to be underestimated and is certainly the most unusual of cycle races.

Konrad, your die hard cross-at-all-costs attitude never fails to amaze me! As a non-crosser, you are certifiable, but at the same time the respect that a 3-peaks competitor commands is unequivocal. I take my hat off and ring my cowbell for you sir ;)

Thank you Gem and Jeremy. Dave is hiding his light under a bushel here, as he is a regular top 15 finisher in the Peaks. He is the original 'Peaks obsessive' and is profiled in this 2006 BBC Countryfile feature on the race: http://www.3peakscyclocross.org.uk/history/2006/2006.htm

Seattle, don't forget this Sunday Swiss New Wave of Folk Metal pioneers Eluveitie play El Corazon! This KISW Metal Shop sponsored show is gonna be epic! Also on the bill is Finland's Wintersun, an extreme progressive metal band with a new amazing album titled "Time I" (hear full album) and German Viking metallers VARG.
What's exciting about Eluveitie on this tour is they are playing their new concept CD "Helvetios" (hear full album) in it's entirety each night! Never thought a metal band with flutes, violins, hurdy-gurdies, mandola, mandolin, whistles and bagpipes could be so awesome! Add some hot chicks oozing with talent in the band and you have a dual combination of male/female diversity for the big time! "Helvetios" is one of my favorite album releases of the year. Between Chrigel Glanzmann's razor rasp and Anna Murphy's angelic vocals, there's something for every metal fan with Eluveitie! Eluveitie also released a second record this year with The Early Years, a collection of re-rerecorded and re-mastered early material.
Meet both bands at a pre-show in-store signing at Silver Platters in Northgate (Sunday, December 2nd 3 - 4 PM Silver Platters 9560 1st. Ave. NE Seattle, WA. 98115 (206) 524-3472 www.silverplatters.com)

I'll say yes, I don't have time to play much these days. I play Terran but plan on playing Protoss and Zerg as well. Unranked ATM. DannibusX #577
PVTCaboose1337 #622 I play Terran. I play 2v2 the most, but am up for 1v1 sometimes. 2v2, I am ranks Gold for random.
I suck balls at this game but want to play more. Pointers? Do you get better in MP by playing through the SP campaign?
You sorta get better playing single player, but not really. You learn more doing the challenges. You will learn counters for certain units, etc. What really helped me become a good player was playing against the AI on 2v2 on medium difficulty. Teaches the basics. After 20 games of that, I was able to take on any gold player in 2v2.
Well, if you want to improve your game, you should look at replays and see how the pros play. Usually, the opening few minutes is quite similar for all races: Terran will start with 1rack,1fac,1star or 3rack, building to 3rack,1fac,2star for bio build, Protoss will go for 2gate,1robo or 4gate, maybe a starport for lolvoidrays. Zerg is a bit more diverse, they can go for fast expo at 14drone or roach warren for timing pushes, or baneling bust, etc.
Learn to use your hoytkeys, they are so important when playing SC2. Practice using them to build everything in SP. I recommend choosing the Grid layout in options to make the hotkeys the same across all 3 races.
Ah SC2 IS AWESOME!!!!. I started playing random, but toss is my fav. im gold pretty much, have a couple platinum teams.
Thanks guys, I'll watch a couple matches and play through the SP campain to try to get better. I just have to make the time for it now.
deathmore #107 i play mainly custom now and co-op am a gold 2vs2 i play everything but mainly zerg with my buddy on 2vs2
I have the game though I don't remember my player number. I'll update it sometime in the next week lol.
Ah, almost completely forgotten about this thread. I am sure all the Starcraft 2 players have heard the baneling song?
Is that the Bieber parody? That was actually pretty good. I went to buy it last night but could't pay via paypal. I'll pick up a box locally for $50 and just activate the key.
Indeed it is! Starcraft 2 will be popular for the next 5 years, so Blizzard is milking every single dollar out of us Shame I will not be able to play with you Americans, because they region lock the copies too I really need to update this more often, but there are few strategy gamers in this forum as it is and this is not encouraging me to update this as often as I wish.
Heres a good read on unit counters: http://www.sc2guidereviews.com/starcraft-2-counters-list.html Also has build guides and other informative stuff. Pretty much applicable.
Well, I suck balls, but still love playing it, especially with friends (only one of 'em still active ) http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/984072/1/Wyverex/ edit: feel free to add me too Wyverex, EU, mostly Zerg
Go to www.teamliquid.net I consider that to be the best source for your SC related needs. Otherwise play through the single player, the challenges, and then watch replays and commentaries online. Pay attention to the strategy and the thought that goes behind them, read up on the game mechanics and unit counters/unit composition, etc. Day9 runs a SCII commentary thing online, you should check it out. Btw Op, add me please. ebolamonkey 133 US All 3 races, but Toss is my favorite.
Add me in. I was a 1v1 bronze because this was my first RTS game ever, but since then I've gotten a TON better playing 2's and I'm in 2v2 platinum with a diamond player. I would estimate myself as a Gold/Platinum 1v1 player at this point, but just don't play many 1's any more. I play random most of the time. Also,I would highly recommend watching these 5 videos (Grand finals of the recent Dreamhack SC2 tournament in Sweden. Winner received over $14,000 USD). Game 1: http://day9tv.blip.tv/file/4444676/ Game 2: http://day9tv.blip.tv/file/4444662/ Game 3: http://day9tv.blip.tv/file/4444658/ Game 4: http://day9tv.blip.tv/file/4444652/ Game 5: http://day9tv.blip.tv/file/4444650/

Left: Saturday's Winter Beer Fest will showcase more than 80 brews. / Tracey Nawrot/special to metromix
Above: Friday's Vodka Vodka will feature food and drink samples. / John Froelich/special to metromix
Vodka and beer are taking over the spirits spotlight in Royal Oak this weekend for a worthy cause.
Camp Casey, a nonprofit horseback-riding program for children with cancer and their families, will receive funds from Friday's Vodka Vodka event and Saturday's Winter Beer Fest.
"There are countless worthy charities," says Molly Reeser, who founded Camp Casey in 2004 when she was in college. "And as one that is small, grassroots and operates almost entirely on a volunteer base, it's important to us that our fund-raisers are as profitable for our nonprofit as they are well-run and enjoyable for our guests."
Friday's vodka party will incorporate music by Dante LaSalle, food samples from local restaurants such as Café Sushi, Treat Dreams and Detroit Prime, and drink samples from a variety of companies, including Valentine Vodka, Civilized and Sakura.
The beer fest will showcase more than 80 brews and live music from acoustic duo Reggie and Nick. VIP guests will have access to the event an hour early and receive extra beer samples. Food will be available for purchase.
"The most fun part of attending events like Vodka Vodka and Winter Beer Fest is being in a fun, party-like environment full of young and energetic people and getting to feel good about it all since the party is actually a fund-raiser," Reeser says. "Our organization is run by creative young professionals who like to plan the same kind of events that they themselves would like to attend."
Last year, Camp Casey raised about $5,000 from Winter Beer Fest and $2,000 from Vodka Vodka.
Vodka Vodka, 8 p.m.-midnight Friday, Royal Oak Farmers Market, 316 E. Eleven Mile, Royal Oak. $50, $45 advance. Tickets include food samples and 10 drink vouchers.
Winter Beer Fest, 8 p.m.-midnight Saturday, Royal Oak Music Theatre, 318 W. Fourth, Royal Oak. 248-399-2980. www.royaloakmusictheatre.com. $40, includes 25 samples; $70 VIP tickets available online only.
Fire & Ice Festival: A weekend-long celebration with food, drinks and an abundance of winter activities gets under way Friday in downtown Rochester.
The city's Fire & Ice Festival includes ice-carving demonstrations, an ice-sculpture show, ice skating (bring your own skates), fireworks (8 p.m. Friday and Saturday), tube sledding, a concert by True and more. Food from nearby restaurants will be available for purchase, and beer tents, open until 9 p.m., will be set up behind Rochester Mills Beer Company.
The opening ceremony will begin at 8 p.m. Friday.
Guests can park free in the Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot (1234 Walton Road) and take a shuttle to the festivities.
New for this year's event is a Fire & Ice mascot. Organizers asked festival fans to go online and submit name suggestions for the penguin mascot, and the winning name will be revealed before Saturday's fireworks.
6-9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, downtown Rochester. 248-656-0060. Free.
Hot nights at Rodin: The new kid on the block in Detroit is named after a revered French sculptor, but it definitely knows how to let loose and get a party started.
The French-inspired Rodin, a bistro owned by Good Girls Go to Paris creator Torya Blanchard, played host Saturday to Detroit-born musician Karriem Riggins, who brought the crowd to its feet with a mix of old-school soul, Latin and French fare.
"It was amazing," says Jasmin De Forrest, who has paid several visits to Rodin since its grand opening in December. "There was such an eclectic group of people. You have the whole Rodin vibe -- kind of loungy and lusty. Then you have so many different groups and backgrounds coming together and dancing. You rarely have a party scene like that in Detroit. It's usually pretty segregated, but the music Karriem plays, he brought out everybody."
Rodin is at the corner of Woodward and Kirby across from the Detroit Institute of Arts. Every Friday, the restaurant, which boasts a full bar, hosts a DJ dance party. On Saturdays, guests are treated to live jazz.
"Normally, it's this dinner vibe. You have a lot of couples," says De Forrest. As the evening progresses, "you slowly start seeing people getting up and getting on the dance floor. As it got later, the music got a little more exciting, and that's when the dance floor was packed."
4 p.m.-midnight Tuesday-Thursday, 4 p.m.-2 a.m. Friday-Saturday, 4-10 p.m. Sunday, 15 E. Kirby, Suite D, Detroit. 313-285-9218.

Aug 17 2013
Foreign Secretary William Hague has condemned the "disproportionate use of force" by the Egyptian security services as he issued a fresh appeal to all sides to end violence.
In a call with Egyptian foreign minister Nabil Fahmy, Mr Hague said Britain condemned all acts of violence, whether by the military or by some demonstrators protesting at the overthrow of former president of Mohammed Morsi.
He said that attacks on mosques and churches were "unacceptable" and called for places of worship to be protected.
His comments came after security forces stormed the al-Fath mosque in Cairo while Muslim Brotherhood supporters have been blamed for a series of attacks on Coptic Christian churches.
"The Foreign Secretary emphasised UK condemnation of all acts of violence, whether disproportionate use of force by the security forces or violent actions by some demonstrators," a Foreign Office spokesman said.
"They also discussed the recent attacks on places of worship and the Foreign Secretary stressed that attacks on mosques and churches were unacceptable and that places of worship must be protected."
Mr Hague urged the Egyptian government to return to the political road map published last month based on dialogue between parties who accepted peaceful political processes.
"He underlined the need for urgent steps by all sides to end the violence and enable a return to dialogue. The Foreign Secretary also emphasised the EU's collective determination to support a peaceful resolution of the situation," the spokesman said.

2nd set ruled! Awesome, long (!) Piper>R&R>Seven Below>Caspian. This jam touches on everything, folks. Well-worth the listen and time. This YEM, my first, was awesome and mucho fun. I fondly remember a man tear his shirt off and start yelping at the start of YEM...it was memorable. As for the encore, Wading is Wading, but I would rather have heard something a little more upbeat for the evening's send-off.

Set 1: SampleSample in a Jar, Reba[1], Wilson[2], Scents and Subtle Sounds, Maze, Driver, NICU > Ya Mar[3], Rocky Top, Lawn Boy, Julius
Set 2: Piper > R&RRock and Roll[4] -> Seven Below[4] -> CaspianPrince Caspian > YEMYou Enjoy Myself

Average Song Gap: 9
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: Reba did not have the whistling ending. Wilson included an extended jam segment. NICU, Ya Mar, and Rocky Top were played in succession for the first time ever – which would be quite an obscure item to report, except that all three songs found Trey exhorting Page to "Play it, Leo!" Trey subsequently announced the songs as the "Leo Trio." Ya Mar also included a lyrical change to reference Mike's Segway. Piper contained a tease of Tweezer Reprise. Rock and Roll and Seven Below were unfinished. YEM included a Couldn't Stand the Weather tease.

2nd set ruled! Awesome, long (!) Piper>R&R>Seven Below>Caspian. This jam touches on everything, folks. Well-worth the listen and time. This YEM, my first, was awesome and mucho fun. I fondly remember a man tear his shirt off and start yelping at the start of YEM...it was memorable. As for the encore, Wading is Wading, but I would rather have heard something a little more upbeat for the evening's send-off.
The song selection for both nights was pretty standard and I felt that most of both nights were overly-predictable. In particular, the second set, the second night"... I got stubbed down to third row, Trey side"... and from Seven Below through the jam in YEM they were just playing to play. First time I was 3rd and 1 and it was so sad, I wanted to cry.
By the time the Velvet Sea encore started I was already walking up the steps. Up and Out. They weren't my band anymore"... Phish were playing to people I couldn't understand and really didn't have any desire to be around. And I'm pretty sure they felt the same way. It was the first time in the umpteen years I'd been seeing them and I was leaving a show not WANTING TO SEE MORE"...
I didn't make a show in 2004. I was stationed in Korea in the US Army. They announced Coventry and"... just like that, it was over, again. This time, it seemed like it was forever. All that was left were memories of some of the Best nights and most fun I'd ever had. The great times I'd had with my Brother, with my friends, with complete strangers... and, with songs. Calling first set openers, Closers and Encores were the stuff of Legend in our little social circle. No more lot-style t-shirts to flaunt. No more parking lot tapes and CD's of jams played on the other side of the map by bands that didn't frequent the Midwest in those days. Sharing stories of getting tickets to impossible shows, ditching work, or school, just to make the gates before the first set started"... It was all over for the mighty four-sum from Vermont"... Then, on Oct.1, 2008,
Set two highlights in this set o' jams are the 20+ minute bookends. Piper started the set during a mild drizzle and builds into a monster. The other jams in the second set are decent (even Caspian ::ducks: but the YEM is where it's at. No joke. Couldn't Stand the Weather tease and the whole band was on.point. Great vocal jam at the end to round it out. A must listen YEM!

At Mardi Gras World the national and international media enjoyed local delicacies and lots of free adult beverages. Barry Kern, owner of the venue who is also on the Super Bowl Host Committee says "There's five to six thousand people here tonight; 4,000 international media, a thousand North American media as well as about a thousand NFL and state and city officials." There were 15 bands and Kern tries to explain how big this event is saying there are "46 local restaurants serving incredible food throughout the venue...We're in the Float Den, the Mansion out back, we got an outdoor stage, we got the Grill Queen parked out back on the riverfront." Plus party-goers got to enjoy acrobats, cheerleaders, a float making demonstration and an open bar. Some of the NFL officials from New York say they're amazed and grateful for New Orleans outstanding hospitality and believe this is a great venue for Super Bowl.

The trial of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy is set to start on Monday, four months after a military coup removed him from power.
The closely watched trial could be the first public appearance in months for Morsy, who's been held in an undisclosed location since his ouster in July.
The former president is accused of inciting violence, and 14 other Muslim Brotherhood members are also defendants in the case.
Analysts say great uncertainty surrounds the trial, and some have expressed concerns that it could be a flashpoint that further fuels unrest.
Morsy, who is backed by the Muslim Brotherhood, remains one of the most polarizing figures in Egypt.
He rode a wave of hope, becoming Egypt's first freely elected president, but his presidency barely lasted a year.
His supporters believed he would usher in a new Islamic era. His detractors, though, saw a tyrant wanting to impose his conservative values.
Weekly protests demanding Morsy's reinstatement still spring up around the country. As a result, hundreds have died in clashes with security forces.
Authorities have warned that they'll crack down on any violent protests tied to the trial, and security forces are expected to be out en masse as Morsy's supporters vow to take to the streets.
State media reported Sunday that Morsy's trial will be held at the Police Academy in New Cairo -- a last-minute change of venue that had defense lawyers scrambling to get courtroom permits.
But what will happen inside the courtroom is anyone's guess.
Speculation surges over trial
Morsy could refuse legal representation, arguing against the legitimacy of the court, said lawyer Mohamed El-Damaty, who will be present in court on Monday as part of the defense team.
There are 15 defendants in this case, 11 of whom are facing charges of using force, killing three men, holding and torturing 54 people, and possession of weapons and ammunition. Morsy and four others are facing charges of incitement to these crimes.
But his case is different than the other defendants, El-Damaty told CNN.
"According to the suspended constitution, only two thirds of the parliament can refer the president to court, not the general prosecutor," El-Damaty said.
The military suspended the constitution after it removed Morsy from power in the wake of mass street demonstrations in June and July. El-Damaty hopes lawyers will be able to successfully argue for using the constitution written under and passed during Morsy's tenure.
Trial over deadly December clashes
Concerns over that constitution sparked the first mass demonstrations against Morsy on December 4.
Now, nearly a year later, the ousted president is standing trial over deadly clashes that unfolded the following night.
Egyptian authorities have accused Morsy and his staff of ordering supporters to attack protesters after guards and members of the Interior Ministry refused to do it.
Since Morsy's ouster, his supporters have accused the interim military leaders of trumping up charges against Morsy to keep him in prison.
On the eve of Morsy's trial, Amnesty International called on Egyptian authorities to ensure that the ousted president appeared in court Monday, describing his detention as an "enforced disappearance."
"Tomorrow's trial is a test for the Egyptian authorities. They should present Mohamed Morsy in court and grant him a fair trial, including the right to challenge the evidence against him in court," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty International's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa. "Failing to do so would further call into question the motives behind his trial."

The Cold War is over, though given the increasingly heated exchanges of late, it's hard to tell.
For decades, Moscow and Washington went at it -- diplomatically, militarily, economically, you name it -- until the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union changed the equation. Yet anyone following officials biting back-and-forth in recent days on what to do in Syria could reasonably surmise the two world powers are at it again.
What this means for what unfolds in Syria, for relations between the two nations, and for world politics generally remains to be seen. Yet a look back at comments since Vladimir Putin returned for a second stint as Russia's president, and particularly as the barbs have grown testy over the past few weeks, suggests the two sides have grown even further apart.
'I don't have a bad personal relationship with Putin'
President Barack Obama said as much in August, referring to his relationship with Russia's powerful leader.
At the same time, he acknowledged, "anti-American" rhetoric has ramped up since Putin returned to the presidency in May 2012. And, Obama added, he'd had "mixed success" trying to get "Putin to think forward, as opposed to backwards" on some issues.
Things appeared to go differently when Dmitry Medvedev was president. (At that time, Putin had become prime minister after serving his first eight years as president.) Medvedev and Obama scored significant agreements on arms control and letting NATO troops get to Afghanistan through Russia.
Yet the atmosphere changed noticeably after Putin, a former KGB operative, resumed the top position in Russia's government. There were diplomatic flare-ups on everything from espionage to human rights to the adoption of Russian children.
One point of strain has, in many ways, the potential to have the biggest global impact: what to do about a civil war in Syria that has left more than 100,000 dead and 2 million refugees, especially given allegations from both sides about chemical weapons use.
'Obama hasn't been elected ... to be pleasant to Russia'
Putin made this comment earlier this week, before Obama and other leaders arrived in St. Petersburg, Russia, for the G20 summit.
His point, it seemed, was that the chief goal of neither he nor Obama is to ingratiate themselves to each other or please each others' citizens. Both men were elected to serve their own populaces, and if they end up throwing some elbows along the way -- well, that's how things go.
Not that the two can't make nice. Obama said their conversations are often candid and "very productive." And when they met Thursday before reporters in St. Petersburg, the two men smiled as they chatted and shook hands.
But none of that changes the fact that on the big issue of the day -- Syria -- the two are far apart.
Moscow and Washington have been at odds since 2011, when the Damascus government first cracked down on protesters. Since then, the dispute has spiraled into a full-fledged civil war pitting Syrian government forces (who, at times, have lost control over large tracts of territory) against an opposition fighting force that ranges from moderates to Islamist extremists.
Sure, both Russia -- a longtime ally of Syria and its president, Bashar al-Assad -- and the United States have been part of international efforts to forge cease-fires or a political solution. But all such attempts have failed.
'My credibility isn't on the line -- the international community's credibility is'
The issue of chemical weapons has raised the stakes, and the tensions.
In April, U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel accused al-Assad's government of being behind small-scale, but still deadly use of the nerve agent sarin. The French foreign minister made similar accusations in June.
An August 21 attack just outside Damascus put the matter front-and-center on the world stage. Within days, U.S. officials -- including Secretary of State John Kerry, who said Sunday that blood and hair samples from the scene "tested positive for signatures of sarin" gas -- blamed al-Assad's forces for an attack they estimated had killed more than 1,400 people, many of them children.
Putin and other Russian officials, however, have been skeptical of such claims from the United States, Britain and France. Russia's president said Wednesday it would be "absurd" for al-Assad -- whose government has firmly denied using chemical weapons and accused "terrorists," its blanket term for rebel fighters, of doing so -- to wage such an attack when he's gaining an upper hand.
(In fact, that same day, Russia's foreign ministry announced that its experts determined a "homemade" device that Syria's army does not possess was used in a chemical attack in March. The projectile, the ministry stated, was similar to those used in northern Syria by Bashaar Al-Nasr, an Islamist brigade that is part of the opposition Syria Liberation Front.)
Yet despite fierce resistance -- even reliable U.S. ally Britain won't join in any military intervention, following a vote by Parliament -- Obama has pressed on. Calling the Syrian attack a "challenge to the world," the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner has said action is necessary to enforce international chemical weapons bans.
His comment on "the international community's credibility" on Wednesday, while standing alongside Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, reflects his argument that the unfolding debate is not about whether he should live up to his 2012 comment that use of chemical weapons in Syria crosses a "red line" that must be responded to militarily.
Rather, he contended, the entire world -- not just the United States -- has an obligation to respond.

Third Camm trial nears conclusion without defendant taking stand
Submitted by WIKY News on Fri, 10/11/2013 - 3:49pm
Closing arguments are set for Monday in the murder trial of former state trooper David Camm. It's the third time Camm has stood trial in the 2000 murders of his wife Kim and their two young children. Convictions in New Albany and Boonville were thrown out on appeal because prosecutors were allowed to introduce prejudicial evidence. Legal analyst Greg Garrison says a lot rides on the argument to be presented by the special prosecutor in the case, former Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Stan Levco.

Golden corn yields green payback
Submitted by WIKY News on Fri, 10/11/2013 - 3:42pm
Some good economic news. Hoosier cornfields may produce a record crop this year as farmers begin their harvest. Purdue agronomist Chris Hurt says corn growers benefited from ideal weather this year: a wet spring followed by a cool summer. He says Indiana is on track for 166 bushels of corn per acre, and there's still time to surpass the record of 171 set four years ago.The bumper crop's especially welcome after last year's drought, which Hurt says left 30-percent of Hoosier grain-processing capacity idle.
State's highest court hears deliberates issues in child porn shoetop video case
Submitted by WIKY News on Thu, 10/10/2013 - 4:32pm
Indiana's Supreme Court will decide whether a Fort Wayne man who hid cameras on his shoetops violated child porn laws. David Delagrange is accused of using a shoecam to shoot videos at Castleton Square Mall in Indianapolis under the skirts of shoppers - some of them underage. A divided Court of Appeals threw out his convictions for attempted child exploitation, declaring the law is poorly drafted and requires sexual conduct by the child.

I looked for a long time for curtains to hang in my dining room and had absolutely no luck.....until I decided to check Overstock. These curtains are awesome. Perfect color (cranberry is a deep burgandy wine color) and great quality. Though I did not need lined curtains in this room, anyone who is looking for a thick, light filtering curtain will not be disappointed. Too many tab top curtains look cheap and flimsy - not these!! If you are looking for great quality curtains and an even greater price, order these - you will not be disappointed!
These curtains were bought for our daughter's room. They fit the need exactly. I washed them as soon as I took them out of the package, and even though the instructions say to line dry, I dried them on gentle. They came out wrinkle-free and I put them up immediately. They do a terrific job of blocking light and keeping out heat. They are on eastern and southern windows. I would recommend these curtains very highly. Saw them at another well-known shopping site for about double the cost.
I bought nine pairs of these altogether: three in the 84" length and six in the 65" length (from two different websites). First, I appreciate that they come in pairs. Not all panels do. Second, the price is very reasonable. Third, the quality could not be better. They are not heavy or ugly like a lot of thermal curtains, yet they do block the light and oppressive heat of the sun. The tabs are just the right thickness and length and look great on skinny as well as thicker rods. The drape is graceful, not clunky. If I ever needed more curtains, I would buy these again, even it I didn't need a thermal product.
We bought these curtains to block out a neighbors vapor light from their driveway. Product works exactly as it is advertized. We had trouble in the past with even expensive "so called" light blocking curtains, but these work very well.
The color on the image didn't match what i had received. the color was called cranberry and looked to be a very rich cranberry red. What i had received was a lighter pink cranberry.
I purchsed these for my son whose apartment did not have significant air conditioning to reach into the bedroom. The big window in the living room was uncovered and I was hoping that these curtain panels would help. He was not happy but, perhaps my hopes were too high
These thick drapes keep out the light very well and the cold. We like the loops at the top which make the drapes very easy to open and close.
Great quality curtains, only whished they came in more colors. I am ordering a couple more sets in different color.
I was happy with the texture of the material. I hung them and used a steamer to takeout the rinkles and they look beautiful. These curtains are great for the money.
The curtains needed a good steaming/ ironing to remove the creases from the packaging but they are a durable cloth and have remained wrinkle free even with daily shuffling open/closing. The curtain material is fairly stiff and has a slight sheen to it. The curtains have been up for over a month and still look good (not dusty or musty). They do a good job of keeping out the late summer heat and the early autumn cold snap. The sewing is average, one of the curtain panels was not sewn well so it does not hang straight.

Cooking Classes
New classes! Huzzah.
A wonderful new cookery school in central London, Aveqia, has approached me to teach my Bacon Masterclasses there. The school is very central, based near Farringdon and is beautiful. The original school is in Sweden and the same elegant Scandinavian design has been used here, and as you would expect, it is a thoughtfully designed and very useful space. Those Swedes know what they are doing.
On arrival there is a bar, before going to the teaching space with lots of room to cook and also to eat after. This is why I love it, the kitchen is large and spacious with lots of room and all the kit I could need, even a paco jet for making maple bacon, bourbon & vanilla ice cream. After we can all sit down at a large communal & very sociable space to eat and indulge in some bacon bloody marys.
The classes will be hosted on Saturdays only, and I am expanding the class concept to include a sit down brunch after the Bacon Masterclass. The classes are more expensive to run but I would still like to keep the classes accessibly priced, so I am going to be offering the first 6 early bird places for £75 with the remaining 10 places at £95. The prices must unfortunately go up to meet my increased costs.
Each bacon masterclass will start at 10am with bacon jam on toast and tea / coffee and finish at 2pm after brunch with a bacon bloody mary. There will be 3 hours cooking. All classes are hands on and you will have a lot of support. The recipes are explicitly detailed and even where complex, very easy to follow. I am there to help and teach at all classes, of course. Cooking is core, but there are not just about cooking, they are also a lot of fun. You will be comfortable, I can promise you that.
Sounds good? I think so.
The recipes will vary, but the core recipes will be:
- chipotle bacon jam
- candied bacon
- bacon jam fudge
- candied bacon marshmallow creme
There is only one more class available to book:
Sat 14th Dec
So, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will send you details on how to pay and book you in. The classes will have a maximum of 16 attendees and I will need a minimum of 10 to go ahead. Hopefully, that won't be a problem.

In 1925, The Great Gatsby was published and hailed as an artistic and material success for its young author, F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is considered a vastly more mature and artistically masterful treatment of Fitzgerald's themes than his earlier fiction. These works examine the results of the Jazz Age generation's adherence to false material values.
In The Great Gatsby's nine chapters, Fitzgerald presents the rise and fall of Jay Gatsby, as related in a first-person narrative by Nick Carraway. Carraway reveals the story of a farmer's son-turned racketeer, named Jay Gatz. His ill-gotten wealth is acquired solely to gain acceptance into the sophisticated, moneyed world of the woman he loves, Daisy Fay Buchanan. His romantic illusions about the power of money to buy respectability and the love of Daisy—the "golden girl" of his dreams—are skillfully and ironically interwoven with episodes that depict what Fitzgerald viewed as the callousness and moral irresponsibility of the affluent American society of the 1920s.
America at this time experienced a cultural and lifestyle revolution. In the economic arena, the stock market boomed, the rich spent money on fabulous parties and expensive acquisitions, the automobile became a symbol of glamour and wealth, and profits were made, both legally and illegally. The whirlwind pace of this post-World War I era is captured in Fitzgerald's Gatsby, whose tragic quest and violent death foretell the collapse of that era and the onset of disillusionment with the American dream. By the end of the novel, the reader slowly realizes that Carraway is transformed as he recognizes Gatsby's moral superiority to the Buchanans. In fact, the triumph of Gatsby's legacy is reached by Nick Carraway's ruminations at the end of the book about Gatsby's valiant, however futile, attempts to regain his past love.
The discrepancy between Gatsby's dream vision and reality is a prominent theme in this book. Other motifs include Gatsby's quest for the American Dream; class conflict (the Wilsons vs. the Buchanans and the underworld lowbrows vs. Gatsby); the cultural rift between East and West; and the contrast between innocence and experience in the narrator's life. A rich aesthetic experience with many subtleties in tone and content, this novel can be read over and over again for new revelations and continued pleasure.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Usually we only get one cataclysmic,
world-changing Linux event per month, but it looks like we had two this month. The first was the news that Oracle plans to produce a spin-off of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and sell support for way less than Red Hat is charging. The second was the announcement of a deal between Microsoft and Novell in which, reportedly, Microsoft provides a patent covenant offering protection to users of Suse Linux from suits for patent infringement. It is hard to explicate both these explosions in just one page, so I guess I should just pick one. If anything, the Oracle announcement seems to have more potential for altering the landscape, but maybe that means I should talk about the Novell deal because there is a greater disparity between what it means and what it sounds like it means. This new patent covenant from Microsoft seems fully intended to invert itself in the mind of the viewer. The user is supposed to think, "If Microsoft will not sue the users of Suse, that means they will sue the users of other Linux distros. If they will sue users of other distros, that means I'd better not use the other distros, which means I'd better use Suse."

The Hudson Chair is a spectacular update backed by an iconic bloodline. The chairs are beautiful -- simple, clean, and three-times the strength of steel. This model has been designed at perfect bar height with the seat sitting at 29.5" and features beautifully shaped arms that lend to the natural character of the piece.
Designed for the Hudson Hotel in New York in 1999, the Hudson line is a more neutral transmutation of the classic Navy Chair. According to Starck, these chairs are "an attempt to remain faithful to the Emeco spirit. The styling is meant to be very pure, very reductive. It's not meant to be loud." The Hudson is included in the design collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and was selected by the Chicago Athenaeum as one of the top 100 designs for 2000, winning the prestigious "Good Design Award".

In its statement on Tuesday, the Seventh-day Adventist Church alludes to Hudson, saying the person who hosts the media ministry where the Jones interview was posted is not a Seventh-day Adventist pastor.
Hudson, for his part, says he was born into the Seventh-day Adventist Church and was baptized in the year 2000, describing himself as an evangelist who "travels around and shares the message of Jesus."
His ministry, the Forerunner Chronicles, posted the video on its website.
On Tuesday, Jones released a statement apologizing for possibly offending the cast and crew of "Two and a Half Men" in the video.
"I have been the subject of much discussion, speculation and commentary over the past 24 hours," Jones says in the statement. "While I cannot address everything that has been said or right every misstatement or misunderstanding, there is one thing I want to make clear.
"Without qualification," the statement continues, "I am grateful to and have the highest regard and respect for all of the wonderful people on Two and Half Men with whom I have worked and over the past ten years who have become an extension of my family. "
The statement does not mention Jones' newfound faith. But Hudson says he talked to Jones on Monday and that "he is certainly maintaining himself quite well."
"I really have a great deal of respect for this young man," Hudson says. "He is mature beyond his years."
